The greater significance of recovering the capital is its political influence. 23 announced the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty, and announced that the goal of expelling the Tartars and restoring China has been basically completed.
In Funing, the Poshuo Army repelled the enemies on both sides who retreated from the east to the west. The advancing troops then occupied Fengrun, leaving the blocked Manchu remnants with no way to retreat. They could only climb over mountains and ridges and trek long distances in the wind and snow;
Shuo's army and Shuo's exterminating army advanced in two directions. After Beijing was liberated, only a few soldiers and horses were left to guard it. The main force continued to advance north and east, and successively occupied Yanqing, Miyun, Jixian, Huailai, Yutian, Zunhua and other places, and basically pacified them.
The surrounding areas of the capital were initially formed, and the outer defense circle of the capital was initially formed.
As far as the outcome of the war is concerned, it is not surprising that the Ming army, which had overwhelming advantages in equipment and firepower, won the victory. As far as the process is concerned, the Hejian Defense Line is not only a real existence, but also the last line of defense in the hearts of the Manchu and Qing groups.
.Once the Ming army broke through, the Manchu and Qing groups were psychologically defeated and had no intention of fighting anymore.
As for the final stage of maritime detours and landing interceptions, nearly ten thousand Qing troops were killed and wounded, forcing the remaining Manchus to scurry in the wilderness.
The brave pursuit of the Ming armies, although they gained more land and killed fewer enemies, had a greater significance in destroying the Manchu Qing clique's attempt to plunder Han people out of the customs on a large scale and forcing the Manchu Qing clique to flee in panic.
The four armies, plus the cavalry units mobilized, new soldiers recruited, and naval forces at sea, more than 200,000 people gathered in the land of Jifu. As the new year approached, the major military operation finally came to an end to expel the Manchus.
The operational plan outside the customs has basically been achieved, except for Shanhaiguan.
The cold climate in the north is indeed a difficulty that cannot be ignored for the Ming army. The encouragement of victory and the full supply of logistics have enabled the Ming army to achieve the current results. However, the dead of winter has arrived, and if you want to continue fighting with courage and perseverance, then
This is a disregard for the physical health of the soldiers.
Judging from the overall situation, Shanhaiguan is not a pass suitable for the Qing army to hold on to. The reason is very simple. As a channel for material supply, the Western Liaoning Corridor is too narrow and long, and faces the sea on one side. Not only is transportation difficult, but it is also easier to be attacked by powerful water
The Ming troops of the division were harassed and even intercepted by landing.
Therefore, if the Qing government had not lost its mind, most likely it would have given up on Shanhaiguan and set up a defense line at Daling River or Jinzhou. In this way, it could not only lengthen the supply line of the Ming army that wanted to continue the attack, but also mobilize troops to attack the enemy.
The Ming army based on the Liaodong Peninsula.
At this point in the war, the disintegrated Manchu Qing group increasingly exposed its fatal weakness, which was that there were too few Manchus. You know, the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers come from Manchu adult men, and the Manchus are a nation with a fairly small population.
In the early days of entering the Pass, the total strength of the Qing army was about 100,000, including Han and Mongolian soldiers. The number of Manchu soldiers who could actually wear armor and go on an expedition was only a few tens of thousands. It can be said that the Manchus could conquer the world because they "used Han to control Han"
” strategy, as well as the internal strife and incompetence of various small courts in the Southern Ming Dynasty, are the main reasons.
Human psychology is on the side of the winner. The war was fought from south to north. The majority of Han people were awakened and mobilized. The allies of the Manchu and Qing groups were getting fewer and fewer as they continued to lose. The Han people who supported the Qing turned to countless sides.
.
Now, the real Eight Banners of Manchuria can only have 40,000 people to support the sky; the Mongols are waiting and riding on the wall, going up if it is beneficial, and retreating if it is not beneficial, so they have 20,000 at most? As for the Han army, the Three Feuds will either surrender or be defeated.
Most of them were damaged, and the Green Flag was unable to fight, and most of them did not leave the customs with the Qing Dynasty, at most 10,000 or 20,000 people.
"Eighty thousand at most, eh. There should be no problem with this number." Zhu Yongxing seemed like a shrewd businessman. After comprehensive calculations and repeated calculations, he finally came to the conclusion, "Even if the entire clan is mobilized, not to mention combat effectiveness.
, and how much can it be increased?”
Ye Hu, the Minister of National Security, knew what Zhu Yongxing was thinking. This calculation was just to determine how many troops should be kept in the north. It was certain that troops would be transferred to the south, but the number had not yet been finalized.
"Long live Qi Zou, the Northland has been decided, and the Jinan Military Region does not seem to need to station too many troops." Ye Hu suggested respectfully.
Zhu Yongxing looked at the map and thought for a while, then nodded slightly. The original proposal to establish the Jinan Military Region was to provide stamina and support for the main forces of the Northern Expedition, and was also affected by the military region division mechanism of later generations. Now it seems that it is indeed unnecessary.
The entire north will have to support hundreds of thousands of troops, and it will take at least a year, and maybe more. Although it is feasible to rely on the south, if one less soldier is reduced in the north, the pay will be reduced, which will be beneficial to the finances.
Zhu Yongxing's idea is this: In terms of the current climate, just for growing crops, the output of the same labor force in the south is much higher than that in the north. If it is in places like Mekong and Ha Tien, the output of three crops a year
, four ripe, even several times higher. Therefore, he will not rush to immigrate to the north and restore and rebuild the north at too great a cost.
Feeding the north with the south will be at least a five-year plan. Since the output of farming in the north is less, the proportion of northern soldiers will be increased, and southern soldiers will be constantly called back to continue expansion in Indochina. Through the increase in population
Balance adjustment to maintain the supply of materials in the north at a level that the government can sustain in the long term.
In other words, we should pick up watermelons first, then sesame seeds, to slow down the reconstruction speed of the north, and adopt a more efficient strategy of using the south to support the north.
It is very important to assess the number and combat power of the enemy to determine the number of troops stationed in the north. Expect the enemy to be lenient. The Manchu Qing Group is calculated as 100,000 soldiers, and the Northeast Military Region is also more than 100,000 soldiers according to the establishment.
With the help of the Communist Party members, and the cooperation and containment of the Beijing Military Region in western Liaoning, we can at least resist or contain the Qing Dynasty.
As for the Mongolian tribes, although Monan, Mobei, and even Qinghai are under the jurisdiction of the Heshuote tribe, there are too many tribes and people are not unified, so the actual threat is not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was driven out.
The Ming Dynasty outside the customs could also use trade and supplies to control and win over the Mongolian tribes. In other words, it may not require too many troops to deal with the northern Mongols.
"The Northeast Military Region must complete its establishment as soon as possible. The Beijing Military Region will be fully equipped with 150,000 for the time being, and the Xi'an Military Region will be fully established with 100,000. The Jinan Military Region will not be established for the time being, and will be reorganized into the Guangzhou Military Region. King Zheng Liu Tichun will be the commander-in-chief, and will be under the jurisdiction of Xianshuo.
, the two armies of Fushuo will be transferred to Fujian and Guangdong respectively after the year." Zhu Yongxing turned his attention to Wu Sangui, pondered for a moment, and said: "The General Staff will discuss it carefully again to see if there are any omissions in my decision, and report it as soon as possible.
"
"Wei Chen accepts the order." Wu Sangui bowed and took the order to retreat.
At least the officials in the cabinet are very familiar with Zhu Yongxing's acting style. That is to leave considerable room for ministers to express themselves. Generally, they will not "make good remarks" and cannot change their words. Of course, this approach is what Zhu Yongxing considers if it is like the movie.
As shown on TV, he replied as soon as the report was given, which was inevitably rash and inappropriate. But his attitude made the ministers feel respected. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
