Now that the war has started, there is no doubt about Ping Liao. The only question is how many Jianlu can be annihilated and whether the casualties of our own army are large or small.
Based on Jianlu's current strength, even if the infantry corps could surround an infantry force of about 10,000 people, the casualties suffered during the attack would not be a price that Jianlu could bear.
Guo Dajing also saw this. The smallest action unit was calculated in terms of alliances, and it depended on whether Jianlu dared to continue fighting.
The Dongjiang Army's firepower and combat power have frightened the Jianlu, and their troops have also lost the capital to withstand losses.
Being able to exit Liaodong with minimal casualties is now the goal of Jianlu. Trying not to fight with the Dongjiang Army, which has high morale, is also the measure they have to take.
The main force and the navy met at the Hun River south of Shenyang, which meant that Pingliao entered the final stage.
With the help of the navy, a pontoon bridge was quickly set up. At the same time, ships were used to transport people and horses ashore on the wide front. The distant surveillance of two thousand soldiers did not hinder it.
"The enemy has seen through the reality of our army and does not think there will be a big battle in Shenyang." Suksaha shook his head helplessly and sighed, and said dejectedly: "Retreat!"
The three thousand troops led by Suk Saha and Li Yongfang were responsible for cutting off the rear and setting fire to the city. It would be better if the Dongjiang Army could be made suspicious and cautiously cross the river and land on the shore to delay as much time as possible.
However, after the Dongjiang Army's water and land armies joined forces, they crossed the river without hesitation, shattering Suksaha's illusions.
Seeing that thousands of enemies had boarded the north bank and moved forward in full force, Suksaha had no choice but to retreat, feeling very depressed.
It seems that the enemy no longer takes Dai Jin seriously. In fact, this is indeed the case. Liaoyang City and Hupiyi were lost, and the enemy should be able to clearly judge the remaining strength of Dai Jin.
"Sir." Jia La E Zhen Ta Ha Qi pointed and said: "If the enemy comes up the river, it will be a serious threat to my retreating soldiers and civilians."
"The enemy will definitely come up the Shuo River." Suksaha said in a low voice: "If we advance by land and water, the speed is not too fast. We are pursuing them alone and the troops carried by the ships are limited. Our army should be able to cope with it."
With no other choice, Suksaha could only comfort himself, but his judgment also made sense.
In the field of vision of the telescope, Jianlu retreated, and Guo Dajing pursed his lips slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer.
It is impossible for Jianlu to hold on to Shenyang, as that would be self-destruction. Although he does hope that Jianlu will fight and retreat at the same time, every city must be defended and every city must be fought for.
"Send an order to Feng Xijian and ask him to lead his troops to advance towards Shenyang; order the follow-up troops to follow the special operations battalion in battalion units."
Guo Dajing put down the telescope and issued the order in a deep voice.
Time is the key to determining the final victory. Most of the captives are cavalry, but the migration of tribes will slow down their speed.
According to his estimation, if the Jianlu troops retreated quickly, they would have been able to retreat about a day earlier. The Dongjiang Army's infantry was already having great difficulties in pursuing them.
Of course, it is not yet certain which route Jianlu took to retreat. Although Fushun and Sarhu are the most likely routes, it does not rule out that Jianlu was out of his mind and insisted on taking the Tieling route.
"It's a pity that there is no faster communication. Otherwise, no matter which path the Jianlu take, the Flying Cavalry Regiment will be able to hinder the enemy and cause it to suffer a devastating blow."
Guo Dajing shook his head with regret and looked at the naval ships that were loading soldiers and getting ready for departure.
Once it is determined that Jianlu will go east to Fushun, the navy ships will carry 16,000 infantrymen and go up the river at the fastest speed.
It is probably too late to intercept in Fushun, but we may be able to stop the enemy in Sarhu and Jiefan Village and kill as many enemies as possible.
Now that the war has started, Guo Dajing has actually relaxed his mentality and no longer deliberately insists on any goals. He just wants to do his best.
If he had not sent a flying cavalry regiment to go straight behind the enemy and captured Hupiyi, or if Jianlu had known that Liaoyang had been lost, he still wanted to retreat. If he continued to pursue and kill from behind, Guo Dajing was not sure that he would have achieved greater results.
The special operations battalion led by Feng Xijian approached Shenyang City. Guo Dajing raised his telescope again. As expected, fireworks rose in the city and became more and more intense.
"The Jianlu have begun to destroy the city." Zhang Tao walked closer and said in a low voice, "You will soon know which way the Jianlu will take to retreat."
Guo Dajing nodded slightly. Although he had expected this to happen, his heart was still a little heavy. War is destruction, without exception.
After being silent for a long time, Guo Dajing said in a deep voice: "Most of the Jianlu captives will go to Fushun. With their strength and tribesmen to protect, they may not dare to fight head-on with the Flying Cavalry Regiment. Moreover, they have been burned, killed and destroyed by the Flying Cavalry Regiment along the way.
They also lost supplies."
Zhang Tao deeply agreed with this, but the reconnaissance results were not yet available, and he could not mobilize troops according to analysis and judgment. He said slowly: "It will be difficult to gain a foothold if we retreat into Jianzhou. Our army will continue to pursue, but they will still have to flee north. There is a lack of food and grass supplies.
, you will inevitably die along the way."
Guo Dajing nodded and said: "Water transportation is the key. If our army wants to continue its pursuit, it also needs the supply of food and grass materials. It will be difficult to penetrate deeply by land alone."
"It's a pity that we don't have much time." Zhang Tao shrugged his shoulders with some regret, "Even if we can't pursue in depth and build the captives to flee north, we will still have to go through a difficult winter. Well, it's not just winter, but next year will also be difficult."
They can survive the winter, but they still don't have enough food. Unless the Dongjiang Army doesn't take action next year, Jianlu can harvest a season of crops through farming.
But this is unlikely. The grain reserves in Dongjiang Town are not very rich. They may purchase grain from outside. Guo Dajing will not give Jianlu much breathing time.
"There must be at least one large-scale launch next year." Guo Dajing said: "Driving the Jianlu across the Songhua River is the end of a stage. Next, we will focus on rebuilding and operating Liaodong, building ships at the Jilin Shipyard, and preparing to move along the Songhua River.
On the other hand, it may take two or three years."
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen its rule over the northeastern region, the Liaodong Capital Command Department was first established in the eighth year of Hongwu and a wide range of guard posts were set up.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to effectively manage the Heilongjiang, Ussuli and Songhua River basins in the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu sent the eunuch Yi Shiha and led thousands of people to take a large ship to Telin on the east coast of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River to officially
The Nurgandu Command and Envoy Department was established.
At that time, there was no place named Jilin, but in the seventh year of Yongle, Liu Qing, the commander of the Liaodong capital, set up a shipyard here to lead shipbuilding. Therefore, Jilin has the name of shipyard.
During the Ming Dynasty, the water level of the Songhua River was very high, making it suitable for sailing. Another reason why the Ming Dynasty located the shipyard in Jilin was that Jilin was rich in red pine.
At that time, Jilin was an important hub for water and land transportation in Northeast China and a link that strengthened the connection between Liaodong Dusi and Nurgan Dusi.
The development and construction of Northeast China, especially the effective control of the Songhua River and Heilongjiang river basins, is a century-old plan. For Guo Dajing, it is the driving force for the sustainable development of Dongjiang Town.
However, due to the technological level and backward productivity at that time, it was very difficult to expand northward and it would take a long time.
Step by step, occupying and building on one side is undoubtedly the most practical method. Naturally, the first goal is to advance to Jilin and completely eliminate the threat to Liaodong from the remnants of Jianlu.
"The imperial court will not be interested in restoring Nuergandusi." Zhang Tao said thoughtfully: "There is enough land in Liaodong. Even if there are a large number of immigrants, there will be no land for farming in ten or several decades."
Guo Dajing smiled and said: "You still underestimate the number of immigrants. What's more, there is also natural population growth. As long as the war is calmed down, the population growth rate will be beyond your expectation."
Although this makes sense, it is not the whole story. According to Guo Dajing's vision, there must be room for improvement in the proportion of land and population in Liaodong.
To put it simply, it means that enough land can be set aside for one or two generations to cultivate, without making it too dense and causing less damage to the natural environment.
Zhang Tao would not understand these things very well. However, the number of immigrants will show explosive growth with the pacification of Liaodong and the spread of the Little Glacier disaster.
You must know that from Shaanxi to Shanxi, then to Henan and Beizhili, natural disasters are difficult to contain.
As long as Dongjiang Town continues to maintain preferential policies and provide convenient conditions for immigrants from across the sea, the annual population growth of hundreds of thousands is still guaranteed.
Zhang Tao chuckled. Although he didn't quite understand, he believed in Guo Dajing's vision.
Mao Chenglu boarded the ship, bowed and reported: "Commander Guo, all the troops have boarded the ship and are only waiting for orders to sail eastward."
Guo Dajing smiled and nodded, and said: "We are just waiting for the intelligence from the vanguard to confirm Jianlu's movements."
As he said that, he looked at Mao Chenglu and reminded: "Although the waterway is faster, Jianlu will definitely take precautions. Remember, we still have to act according to our ability and don't take risks. Even if Jianlu can retreat into Jianzhou, our army will
We can still continue the pursuit."
"Don't worry, Commander Guo, the general will know the importance." Mao Chenglu bowed down to receive the instruction.
Along the Hun River, one can go deep into Jianzhou and directly reach Qingyuan. In other words, the transportation of materials by water is enough to support the Dongjiang Army's pursuit here.
After the Battle of Jianzhou, Jianlu's operations in Jianzhou suffered a heavy blow. A large number of tribesmen withdrew into Jianzhou and were unable to obtain sufficient food and supplies. It was still difficult to secure a solid defense.
Since the Jianlu cannot be completely eliminated in Liaodong, we must take a long-term approach. The Jianlu are moving north, and it is extremely difficult to establish a firm foothold or even continue to develop, and they still cannot get rid of the trend of continued decline.
In other words, the time required to completely destroy the Jianlu was lengthened, but it also saved the strength of the Dongjiang Army.
Based on this analysis, Guo Dajing naturally did not want his troops to take risks. The pursuit was certain, and if Jianlu was allowed to retreat in panic, he would naturally suffer more losses along the way.
At this time, the city of Shenyang was already full of fireworks. Whether it was the tall and majestic Khan's Palace, the slave chief's mansion, the shops along the street, or the residences of civilians, the flames were all rising and spreading.
The temperature of the air rose sharply. Even after running to the city gate, Suksaha still felt the blazing heat. Looking back, he only saw a red area, and the most conspicuous thing was naturally the Khan Palace that was in a sea of fire.
In the fifth year of the Qing Dynasty, out of strategic considerations, Nurhachi designated Shenyang Zhongwei as his capital, and built the Dazheng Hall and the Ten King Pavilion, the place where political affairs are discussed, in the center of Shenyang. On the north side of the central axis, he built a "Jurchen" building according to the Jurchen architectural model
"The Palace of Residence", known as the Han Palace in history.
Tomorrow will start seven years, Huang Taiji will inherit the throne, and plans to continue to build the inner palace consisting of Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Palace, Phoenix Tower, Qingning Palace, Linzhi Palace, Guanju Palace, Yanqing Palace, Yongfu Palace, etc.
.
However, the battles with the Dongjiang Army suffered successive defeats, and there was a great famine. Until the second year of Chongzhen, when he detoured into the pass, these palaces were only half completed. After Dorgon succeeded to the throne, the situation became increasingly worse, and the work of building palaces was slowed down.
Complete interruption.
Even so, seeing the palaces and mansions they had worked so hard to build on fire, the hearts of Suksaha and other builders were still bleeding with regret.
Not only the palace buildings were burned down, but also the future of the rebels, as well as the gains from more than ten years of conquest, were all reduced to ashes.
Li Yongfang sighed silently, his heart full of desolation and uncertainty about the future. But he had no way out, not even Jianlu.
According to the propaganda issued by Dongjiang Town on meritorious service and self-redemption, the Jurchens still have a chance to be forgiven. However, Dongjiang Town has already issued a death order for traitors. He, Li Yongfang, is still at the top of the list.
Suksaha finally turned around, without even saying a word, he just waved his whip and galloped out of the city, heading into the distance.
The three thousand captives also ran silently, each of them filled with anger and fear.
When they were high-spirited, they were invincible and swept through Liaodong. Almost all Ming troops fled in the face of the wind; when they fled in panic, they were so embarrassed, confused and desperate.
Where can I escape to safety? Jianzhou is probably too difficult. Even if it is, we have to build houses, farm, fish and hunt, and experience the difficulties of starting from scratch.
The distance from Hunhe to Shenyang is not far. Not long after Jianlu left, the special operations battalion arrived at this city of fireworks.
"Sir, there is too much fire in the city, making it difficult to enter." The sentry knight was forced by the fire and retreated without going deep into the city.
Feng Xijian frowned and waved his hand: "Find out the direction of Jianlu's retreat and report back quickly."
The sentries and cavalry took the order and left. Feng Xijian led his troops along the city and headed for the east gate.
There are only two roads out of Liaodong from Shenyang, one is to go out of the north gate and run to Tieling, or go directly out of the border wall and enter Liaohetao.
The other one goes out of the east gate, goes straight to Fushun, then passes through Sarhu, Jiefanzhai, and then retreats to Jianzhou.
Feng Xijian also believed that Jianlu would take the shortest road, so he rushed to the east gate first. After the reconnaissance results came out, he could follow up and pursue him.
The follow-up troops arrived quickly and saw that the special operations battalion was heading east along the city, so they headed north of the city in a tacit agreement.
There were always tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. According to the road conditions at that time, there were vehicles, horses and people. Jianlu could not hide his whereabouts.
Soon, the sentinels reported the reconnaissance situation. Feng Xijian led his troops to stop outside the east gate, waiting for Guo Dajing's order.
After Guo Dajing received the report, he immediately ordered the ships to set off along the Hun River towards Fushun. He then led his troops to the city of Shenyang and arranged the pursuit.
