Chapter 115: Unfortunately, there is more Zhang Cheng in this time and space
Huang Taiji sat on the royal chariot and was carried down the mountain by four strong Goshiha. All the kings, Baylor, ministers and generals followed behind, making no sound all the way.
Today, only Shimen Mountain and Huangtu Ridge are still under the control of the Qing army. They worked hard to defend against the Ming army's attack. The entire Shimen Mountain is full of fortifications, and it has become a war fortress.
Looking around, there are banners all over the place, fighting is passed down, people and horses are screaming, and the dense military tents and villages seem to cover the entire mountain range.
Shimen Mountain looks like an ancient behemoth, looking down coldly at Jinzhou City to the north and the plains and rivers to the south. The Qing army was firmly entrenched in this important transportation area to Jinzhou. If Shimen Mountain was not captured, reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty would be hard to come by.
It is difficult to enter the south of Jinzhou City.
The Qing army occupied Xiongshan and dug trenches and fortifications everywhere. Even in places where the rocks were hard and difficult to dig, they also transported rocks and stacked them to form strong walls. They added them with bows, arrows and cannons. If the Ming army attacked this mountain, they would be afraid.
His head would be bruised and his head would bleed, causing heavy casualties.
Huang Taiji was sitting on the royal chariot, his eyes were indifferent and seemed to have no human emotions at all. His eyes were constantly scanning the north and south of the mountain road of Shimen Mountain.
To the south is the key defensive fortress of the Qing army. To the north is the gentle hilly area under the ridge, where the troops surrounding Jin Dynasty were stationed, especially in places such as Shahegou, all the way to the Nerv River, to the Nerv River and the Xiaoling River.
At the intersection, there is a continuous line of military camp flags.
Soon, the Qing monarchs and ministers arrived at a plain area to the north of Shimen Mountain, where the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji's imperial camp was set up.
This imperial camp was built by Azige, the king of Dorowuying County who arrived in Jinzhou early. Although it occupies a large area, there are not many troops stationed in it and it is heavily guarded. Inside and outside the camp, there are Bagala warriors and Gebusixian warriors.
.
The center of the imperial camp is even surrounded by a circle of yellow curtains. You can't see what's going on inside at all from the outside. Every ten steps there is a soldier from the Gabushxian Camp standing by. They are all extremely loyal and experienced in hundreds of battles.
.
Inside the yellow curtain is the imperial palace of Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. It is a square. The yellow curtain and a dragon flag more than ten feet high are flying in the wind and making a sound in the small square in front of the imperial tent.
There are rows of huanghuali tables and chairs in the imperial tent, the floor is covered with thick fine wool carpets, and colorful tapestries symbolizing Manchu totems are hung on the walls, making it look magnificent.
Among the complicated tapestry, a map of Liaodong is very eye-catching and eye-catching. Although this map is still not as detailed as the Xuanbei Army and has the concept of contour lines brought by Zhang Cheng, it is quite real and not as detailed as the Ming Dynasty map.
Like abstract art.
Here I have to praise the Qing Dynasty, a nation of fishermen and hunters, for being able to grow so strong in the Ming Dynasty's successive attacks despite the lack of weapons and resources, but it has its merits.
However, there was an additional Zhang Cheng in the original historical track. Whether he was from the Later Jin Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at least in this time and space that had begun to become chaotic, Zhang Cheng would not allow the Qing Dynasty to exist anymore.
No more isolation!
There will be no more hundred years of humiliation!
Huang Taiji entered the royal tent and sat high on a wide chair inlaid with gems and gold. He was fat but had sharp eyes. He was firmly on the throne, like a god, looking down at the Qing Dynasty palaces on both sides below.
The king's ministers and generals.
For this war, Huang Taiji recruited almost all the men over the age of fifteen under the Qing Dynasty to Jinzhou. Even if some of them had not arrived yet, they were on their way.
In Shengjing City, only Prince Heshuo Zheng Jierharang led Sony and a few Bakshis to stay behind. The remaining ministers and generals from Manchu, Mongolian, and Han banners and armies all followed Huang Taiji to Jinzhou. It can be said that the Qing army
It came from the country.
In this battle, the Qing Dynasty came to fight with all its strength. Huang Taiji couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to bet on his national destiny in Jinzhou and defeat the main force of the Ming Dynasty in one battle, so that he could enter the capital of the Ming Dynasty and seize the Ming Dynasty's splendid country in his lifetime.
.
Huang Taiji didn’t know it, but Zhang Cheng knew it!
In Zhang Cheng's original normal time and space, the Qing Kingdom did finally seize the Ming Dynasty's splendid kingdom from the fool Li Zicheng. However, the person who led the Qing Kingdom at that time was not him, but his younger brother Qing Guo and
Dorgon, Prince Shuorui.
But this time, I am afraid that Dorgon, a treacherous, insidious, cruel and violent butcher, will not have the chance to occupy the colorful world of the Ming Dynasty. There will no longer be a nationwide shaving, and there will be no Yangzhou Tenth Day and Jiading Three Massacres!!!
After all, Zhang Cheng is no longer the little Qian Zong that he was in the 11th year of Chongzhen. He is now a military commander with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals.
Although he is not strong enough to confront Huang Taiji alone on the land of Liaodong, Zhang Cheng believes that after this battle, when he returns to Xuanfu, if he can really take control of the town as he wishes, he will definitely clean up the military and run Xuanfu into a monolith.
.
Even if he still can't advance into Liaodong, defeat Huang Taiji and Dorgon's Qing army, and recapture Guangning, Liaoyang, and Shenyang, at least in Xuanfu he will no longer be afraid of the Qing army's attack and will definitely be able to defeat them!
At this moment, His Majesty Huang Taiji, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, looked serious in the royal tent. Below, the kings, Beile, ministers and generals were also arranged in the order of the Manchu and Han Dynasties, and stood solemnly one by one according to their status.
Although the Eight Banners of Manchuria say that all banners are equal, that is just a slogan to win over people.
In fact, the status of each flag is different. Yellow flag, bordered yellow flag, white flag, pure blue flag, bordered white flag, true red flag, bordered red flag, bordered blue flag. This is the order of their status from high to low.
Because the two flags of Zhenghuang and Xianghuang were personally led by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, the flag owners of these two flags were Huang Taiji himself, so they naturally had a respected status, while the owner of the Zhengbai flag was Prince Rui Dorgon.
Nian was favored by Huang Taiji, and the Zhengbai flag also rose accordingly.
The flag owner of the Zhenglan Banner is Prince Su Hauge. He is Huang Taiji's eldest brother, and he has the support of the emperor. The Zhenglan Banner has grown in strength in the hands of Hauge over the years, and it seems to have the potential to surpass Dorgon.
.
As for the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Han Army Banners, before the establishment of the Mongolian and Han banners, they were the subordinates of Beile, the leader of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
After the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Han Army Banner and the Eight Banners of Manchuria were separated, in order to reduce the rights of the original Eight Banners of Manchuria and further consolidate his position, Huang Taiji changed their status as slaves of the original owners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
From then on, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Banners only had Gushan Ezhen, and no longer had flag masters. The Gushan Ezhen and Mele Zhang Kyoto of these banners were selected by Huang Taiji from among the young generals, and naturally they only took orders from Huang Taiji.
.
However, although they no longer have any affiliation with the banner owners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Gushan Ezhen, their status is still lower than that of the banner owners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.
At this time, in the imperial tent, there were the banner owners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria belonging to the Eight Banners system, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Han military flags of Gushan Ezhen, as well as the God's Blessing Army, the three Shun Wang Yishun Gong of the God's Blessing Army, the crown prince of Korea, and all the generals. .
The Eight Banners of Manchuria include:
The leader of Zhenghuang Banner, Gushan’e is really Ashan.
The leader of the flag is decorated with a yellow flag, and the forehead of the mountain is really a picture of worshiping the sound.
The leader of the Zhengbai Banner is Prince Rui Dorgon, and Gushan'e is really Biluzhumala.
The owner of the white flag is Duoluobele Duduo, and Gushan'e is really Turge.
The leader of the Zhenglan Banner is Prince Su Hauge, and the leader of Gushan'e is really Abatai.
The owner of the Xianglan Banner is Prince Zheng Jierhalang, and Gushan'er is really Dudu.
The owner of the Zhenghong Banner is Prince Li Daishan, and Gushan’s forehead is really a great support.
The owner of the red flag is Prince Li Daishan, and the mountain is full of mountains and seas.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria are different from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Han Army Banners. Each of their banners has a flag owner. Men, women, old and children under each banner are attached to the flag owner. The power of life and death is also in the hands of the flag owner. Even Emperor Huang Taiji only When fighting, only the strong men of each banner can be recruited to join the army, and they are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of each banner in peacetime.
Later, in order to further centralize power, Huang Taiji began to appoint Gushan Ezhen as the military and political officer of one of the eight banners in Manchuria, responsible for managing household registration, production, education, training and other affairs of the entire banner.
Of course, although Gushan Ezhen has great power, he is not the master of the army and people of his banner after all, but is only the highest officer in charge of all affairs of each banner. The real master of a banner and the supreme commander of a banner's army is It’s Baelor, the banner lord.
One Gushan Ezhen, two Mele Zhangjing and other officers and generals set up by each banner are all ministers of the banner owner. Both parties have a master-servant relationship. The soldiers of each banner are also soldiers of the banner owner Beile. .
The power of using troops to fight was still in the hands of the emperor and the banner leader Beile. However, these Gushan'e were really wandering officials, and their appointment power was decided by Huang Taiji, so now they only need to obey Huang Taiji's orders.
As for the Zhongzheng Yellow Banner and Xianghuang Banner of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty personally served as the flag owner, so the flag owner of these two banners was Huang Taiji himself, so there was only Gushan Ezhen.
There is also Dai Shan. He was originally the flag owner of the Zhenghong Banner. However, since Yue Tuo, the flag owner of the Xiang Hong Banner, was killed by Zhang Cheng when he invaded the Ming Dynasty in the 11th year of Chongzhen, Prince Li of the Xiang Hong Banner was appointed as Dai Shan. Temporary flag master.
The Eight Banners of Mongolia include:
The Zhenghuang flag on the forehead of the mountain is really Adai.
Placing a yellow flag on the top of a mountain is really a shame.
The red flag standing on the forehead of the mountain is really a picture of Enge.
Emblazoned with a red flag to solidify the mountain forehead is really a time of beauty.
The pure white flag on the forehead of the mountain is truly Yibai.
Mounted with white flags to solidify the mountain's forehead, it is really Suna.
Zhenglan Banner's Gushan forehead is really Wu Lai.
The blue flag that sticks to the mountain is really a piece of cloth.
Without exception, each of the Eight Banners of Mongolia only has Gushan Ezhen, but does not have a flag owner.
Among the eight banners of Mongolia, only four of them, Adai, Engetu, Buyendai and Dalai, were Mongolians in Gushan Ezhenli. The rest were all Manchus.
The Han military flags currently only have four flags, which are as follows:
The pure green flag inlaid with yellow flags solidifies the forehead of the mountain, which is really a stone pillar.
The pure green bordered with white flags solidifies the mountain's forehead. It's like Ma Guangyuan.
The pure blue with red flags on top of the mountain is truly a royal choice.
The pure green flag on the forehead of the mountain is really Bayan.
In addition, the God-blessed Army Gushan'er was truly obedient to King Kong Youde, Mele Zhangjing Huaishun was obedient to King Geng Zhongming; the God-blessed Army was Gushan'er and was truly wise and obedient to King Shang Kexi; and Xushun Gong Shen Zhixiang and other Han generals also stood in the imperial tent, but the only one who was obedient to King Kong Youde was
Because of his injury, he was given a seat by Huang Taiji.
Zu Zerun and Zu Kefa are also in the imperial tent. One of them is Zu Dashou's eldest son, and the other is Zu Dashou's adopted son.
Huang Taiji brought the two of them with him this time, probably because he wanted to take advantage of their family relationship with Zu Dashou. He had been trying every means to recruit Zu Dashou. At this time, Jinzhou City was besieged with heavy troops and his son was used as bait. This was
Kill two birds with one stone.
In the fourth year of his stay in Chongzhen, Zu Zerun surrendered to the Jin Dynasty with his father Zu Dashou in Dalinghe Fort. He was subordinated to Zhenghuang's banner. He was favored and won over by Huang Taiji, and was awarded the title of third-class viscount. He was appointed as a right-hand political participant in the Ministry of War.
Zu Kefa was also detained as a hostage in the camp of Hou Jin army during the Battle of Daling River. He finally surrendered to Hou Jin and was awarded the title of first-class baronet. At this time, he was appointed as the right-hand member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Not only that, in addition to the banner masters of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies of the Qing Dynasty, Gushan Ezhen, there were also many princes of the court, Baylor, ministers in charge of affairs, and generals who were good at conquering and fighting.
For example, the younger brother of Zhen Baiyintu, who was in charge of Gushan'e with a yellow flag, the auxiliary generals Gong Adai and Xihan, and others who participated in the political affairs of the Imperial Procuratorate, such as Zhang Cunren, Duan Xuekong, Sheng Zhong and others.
There are also various Mongolian tribes in the outer vassals, such as Gushan'e Zhenshanba in Dongtumote Right Banner, Gushan'e Zhenshanba in Dongtumote Left Banner, Inner and Outer Karaqin, Chahar, Horqin Left and Right Middle Banner, Ao
Prince Baylor of the Han and Alu banners, and even the Waizhasak Mongolian banners or tribes also sent some soldiers and horses to help in the battle.
Finally, the crown prince of Joseon Li??, the commander of the three naval forces Liu Lin, and two other ministers who accompanied the crown prince Li?? and were detained in the Qing Dynasty also stood in awe.
In addition, Fenglin Prince Li Hao was also detained in Shengjing by the Qing Dynasty. Now Huang Taiji has brought him to the Songjin Front to watch him demonstrate the Qing Dynasty's illustrious martial arts.
…………
Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty sat on his throne, looking around the room with stern eyes at the kings Baylor and ministers standing in awe.
He fixed his gaze on the head of Prince Rui Dorgon, the commander-in-chief of the Jinzhou front line and the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, and said: "Prince Rui, you will be in charge of the siege of Jinzhou. Please tell me what the arrangement is like."
While Huang Taiji was talking, he suddenly coughed a few times. He said that he had suffered from epistaxis, rheumatism, hypertension and other diseases. Now that the whole country was mobilized, he was worried about the war on the front line.
, riding fast all the way, even catching nosebleeds in a bowl.
After arriving at the Jinzhou front line, he did not bother to rest and immediately inspected the situation everywhere. His body was inevitably tortured and got worse.
Dorgon glanced at Huang Taiji worriedly, and responded with a respectful expression on his face: "I obey the order."
He then said: "Dear princes and ministers, in this battle to conquer Jinzhou, including the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han army, God bless and help all the armies, plus the foreign Mongolian and Korean troops, our Qing Dynasty dispatched a total of 170,000 horses.
, there are 60,000 Aha miscellaneous servants inside, and the rest are soldiers with banners and armor, and bannermen without armor, and the number of capable soldiers is 110,000."
"Now our warriors are besieging Jinzhou. They have set up eight large camps around the city and dug three long trenches. The troops and horses deployed are mainly Prince Anping's Xianglan Banner, Prince Heshuoli's Zhenghong Banner, and others.
There are some unarmored bannermen in the remaining flags.
There are 15,000 bannermen, 12,000 armored soldiers, and 20,000 Aha servants.
Although Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City claims to have more than 20,000 soldiers, they are mostly the former garrison guards of the forts. The ones with fighting strength are only thousands of servants under his command, 15,000 bannermen, and 20,000 ahhe.
