Moreover, the most worrying thing is what will happen when the Jurchen soldiers know the truth? Morale will fall to the bottom, and military morale will no longer be as stable as before. Generals in the army, as long as they have some military knowledge, will
Knowing the importance of Panshan, whoever occupies Panshan is equivalent to owning a bridgehead in the northeast of Daling River, with a radius of fifty miles within the control range. Panshan is very important. In fact, if Panshan can be recaptured, even if hundreds of thousands of tribesmen are killed or injured,
It's possible, but can you say this? Tell those soldiers that the lives of all the tribesmen around Panshan are not as important as Panshan?
Haha, if you say this, the result will be: people will be scattered and it will be difficult to lead the team.
Before Abatai woke up, many rumors had spread in the Songshan camp. Listening to those rumors, many Jurchen soldiers were at a loss, and even a little discouraged. I don’t know who said, "How many people are there in Panshan?"
One hundred thousand tribesmen are not as important as a mountain city. This sentence spread quickly, and people were panicked.
Many Jurchen generals knew who was spreading the rumors, but they could do nothing. Now all the soldiers knew the truth, and they were all waiting for Qibele's military order, but Qibele was still in a coma.
At the end of the day, Abatai finally woke up. The first moment he opened his eyes, he looked at the top of the tent with colorless eyes. He really couldn't figure out why it had only been two years before he faced these Han people again.
Feeling powerless? In fact, there is no need to think too much. Abatai knows how to make a choice. Now there is only one way in front of him, which is to withdraw his troops. Although relying on his prestige, he can still command the army with just one order.
Keep attacking, but so what?
Zhao Shujiao will definitely retreat in a hurry, and the massacre of the Jurchen people will be inevitable. Even if Panshan is recaptured by then, what will be lost is the people's support. Sometimes, people's support is of no use at all, such as Zhao Shujiao, he will
He doesn't care about the public opinion at all, because he is a Han and doesn't need to care about what the Jurchens think. In the eyes of the Han people, Panshan City can actually be abandoned. They are stationed in Panshan for the Daling River defense line, so he dares to do anything, but
Abatai is not good enough. He considers not only Panshan, but also the people of the Dajin Nation.
If we give up Panshan, we will lose a strategic location, but at most we will maintain the status quo. If we seize Panshan, we will lose the Jurchen foundation that our father, Khan Nurhaci, fought so hard to build.
So ruthless, Zhao Shujiao has really sharp eyesight, and he can see the weakness of Abatai at a glance. Like the Ming Dynasty, the foundation of the Jin Kingdom must be too weak. The Ming Dynasty can be defeated again and again, abandoning the city and the land.
Before, the Ming army lost Yingkou and other places, but it didn't hurt the Ming court. However, the Great Jin Kingdom already felt that it was surrounded by dangers just because of a Panshan City, and Panshan was not under the control of the Great Jin Kingdom before.
middle.
Abatai felt deeply unwilling. If Zhao Zhijiao stood in front of him, he would definitely pounce on and devour the Han. Before the time of the unitary hour arrived, Abatai convened the generals for discussion and issued an order to withdraw the troops. At the same time, Amin ordered
The entire army also retreated towards Haizhou City. Now that Panshan has fallen, the entire north of Daling River has become the territory of the Ming army, and Amin has to consider the defense of Haizhou area.
It can be said that Abatai and Amin were extremely depressed. They originally thought that they could seize Jinzhou and stabilize the Daling River line this time, thereby establishing a great cause. However, they never thought that it would end in an anticlimactic manner, and finally put Haizhou City in danger. Abatai and
Amin was in a bad mood. There was one person who was in a worse mood than them. This person was Duduo. Originally, Duduo came to help out on Dorgon's order and wanted to take back Zhenjiang Mansion so that Amin and Abata could rest assured.
There was a confrontation with the Ming army in the Daling River area.
But Duduo never dreamed that after he arrived at Haizhou with his troops and horses, the situation would completely change. Not only did he fail to recapture Zhenjiang Prefecture, but the Han people also messed up the Daling River line.
The most unexpected thing is that Panshan City, which is located behind the Daling River, was taken back by the Han people. I really can’t figure out why Panshan City, such an important place, was finally taken down with great difficulty, so why not send heavy troops to handle it? From Duduo’s point of view,
, a place as important as Panshan City should be defended by Ajit himself. Even if Ajit cannot leave Haizhou, another capable person must be sent to lead the defense of Panshan.
But Amin was so arrogant that he left it to a random person to guard Panshan. They really regarded the Han people as a group of cowards. They instinctively felt that the Han people did not dare to bypass the Daling River to attack Panshan. As a result, the Han people not only bypassed Panshan
The mountain city and even Haizhou City have been bypassed. At this moment, the Han girl Liang Caidi is leading people to drink celebratory wine with Xu Wenhai from Zhenjiang Prefecture.
Normally, Duduo thought he was crazy enough, but he didn't expect Abate and Amin to be even crazier than him. They really crushed the Han people into clay. He didn't even think about who was facing him. It wasn't Yuan Chonghuan, but the old fox Sun Chengzong.
There are also tiger generals like Zhao Lijiao and He Kegang under him, and the rising star Wu Sangui is also a more ruthless person than Zhao Lijiao. What's more, this time the Liaodong Army is not acting alone, but the Northern Shanxi Army is assisting.
Duduo has been fighting with Dorgon for many years and has encountered countless opponents, but the one that impressed Duduo the most was undoubtedly the Northern Shanxi Army. The King of Hell in Northern Shanxi and the Green Wolf King of the Prairie are not just exaggerated.
It was fought through tough battles one after another. If you don't put away your contempt when fighting against the Northern Shanxi Army, you will be damned if you don't suffer losses.
In fact, when the war reached this point, everyone, whether it was Huang Taiji or Sun Chengzong, knew that it was time to give up. No one would benefit from continuing the war, especially for the Later Jin Dynasty, Zhenjiang Mansion was like a gun in the neck.
There is a thorn that cannot be pulled out, and it will hurt like hell if you try hard to eat. So, as expected, in just one day, Huang Taiji’s order was sent to all parts of Haizhou, including Amin and Abatai’s troops.
All the troops and horses were withdrawn back to the vicinity of Haizhou to prevent the Han people from attacking Haizhou City. At the same time, Duduo was ordered to lead the Zhengbai Banner troops and horses from his headquarters to attack Zhenjiang Prefecture.
After receiving the order, Amin and others were relieved, but Duduo was a little annoyed. Now that Amin and Abatai's troops have been transferred back, and Duduo was asked to lead the troops to attack Zhenjiang Mansion, Huang Taiji was not safe.
What a good idea. Nowadays, the battle between Dorgon and Huang Taiji in Dajin is no longer a secret. These things are almost out in the open, so Duduo is too lazy to take care of Huang Taiji's face.
Early the next morning, Duduo threw a military report to Amin and headed north with his Zhengbai Banner troops. Duduo's military report was very simple. He clearly stated that he would lead his troops back to Haixi in order to
Prevent Han soldiers and horses from Zhenjiang Prefecture from sneaking into Haixi. As for Zhenjiang Prefecture, it’s up to you to recapture it. Duduo has clearly disobeyed military orders and left no face for Huang Taiji. Look at this military report
, Amin's expression was colorful, but he didn't say a word. On the contrary, Abatai was furious, "This Duduo is getting more and more arrogant, without any regard for the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. Dorgon...
.wild ambition......."
Amin didn't make any judgment, and even Ajit didn't say anything. Isn't Dorgon's ambition obvious? Besides, it seems that Dorgon would probably be dead if he didn't fight for power. Duduo ignored the overall situation,
The Great Khan used the hands of the Han people to consume the strength of the two white flags. This method seemed to be disgraceful, but Duduo was not fooled.
Huang Taiji and Dorgon, let alone the other, can they tell the difference between right and wrong? However, Ajit dare not say these things clearly. The power game between Dorgon and Huang Taiji is not something that Ajit can do.
Even Amin wouldn't dare to say nonsense if he got mixed up.
Huang Taiji ordered all the troops to retreat, but Sun Chengzong did not give the order to hold on. Instead, he asked Zhao Zhijiao and others to send troops to the Panshan line to stabilize the defense line. At this point, the two sides resumed the previous confrontation, but
In terms of Hou Jin, due to the seizure of Zhenjiang Mansion, all the property in southern Zhenjiang was looted. This was tantamount to a serious disaster for the Jurchens who were not already wealthy.
On the seventh day of July in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong rushed to the front line of Daling River. At this time, all the faces of the generals were beaming with joy, and the previous dullness was gone. With this victory, a reward from the court was absolutely indispensable. He Kegang and others had already thought
After celebrating after the good deed, everyone looked relaxed. Sun Chengzong frowned and didn't seem too happy.
Zhao Lijiao clearly felt that Sun Chengzong was not in a good mood. While everyone was discussing, he came closer and asked: "Supervisor, now that our army has defeated the Tatars and driven them back to the east of Haizhou, why are you
The old man still looks worried?"
Sun Chengzong sighed and looked into the distance with deep eyes, "We are relaxed, but things are not going well for Zhenjiang Prefecture. The entire Tatar army has withdrawn to Haizhou, and now the Tatars can concentrate on attacking Zhenjiang. Don't forget,
Li Wanqing and Xu Wenhai sent their troops to Zhenjiang for our sake. If the Zhenjiang government cannot evacuate in time and the losses are too great, I don't know how to explain it to Ruide."
Sun Chengzong knew some things in his heart. If it weren't for Sun Chengzong's face, Xu Wenhai and Li Wanqing would never work so hard. Li Wanqing was fine, but Xu Wenhai had just returned from a long voyage with his fleet, and his navy fleet was gone.
After some rest, they were dragged from southern Korea to Pi Island to help in the battle. If Tie Mo hadn't been his student, these two people would not have given him face like this.
Now that the situation in Liaodong has been stabilized, if the tired Northern Shanxi Army's navy suffered heavy losses, I would really feel a little sorry. The navy is not inferior to the infantry, it is a species more valuable than the cavalry, and it cannot afford to lose it.
Zhao Lijiao didn't understand what Sun Chengzong said. He smiled bitterly and said: "The general also knows what the superintendent said, but the Tatars are now lying in the Haizhou area. It is absolutely impossible for us to cross through. Now there is Zhenjiang Prefecture."
They can only rely on themselves. But the supervisor can relax, Li Wanqing and Xu Wenhai are both experienced in battles, and they should know when to withdraw."
"I hope so." Sun Chengzong sighed helplessly. Of course he knew the abilities of Xu Wenhai and Li Wanqing. But when marching and fighting, how can one be sure?
Zhenjiang City in Liaodong Province was a busy scene at this time, with sailors constantly passing by the shore and delivering batches of supplies to the ship. When the news came from Haizhou that the Tatars were withdrawing their troops, Xu Wenhai knew that he should also withdraw.
.But the navy is not as good as the infantry. The land infantry and cavalry can leave at will, but the fleet cannot. The supplies obtained from Zhenjiang Prefecture cannot be thrown away, right? You must bring all the supplies, right?
This delay lasted only one day. Standing on the deck, Xu Wenhai frowned. When he saw Li Wanqing and others approaching, he said loudly: "General Li, we can't go at such a speed. The Tatars will definitely act like mad dogs now."
Rushing to Zhenjiang, they won't sit back and watch so many supplies being taken away by us, we must speed up."
"This... Mr. Xu, the general has already urged the people below to speed up, but conservative estimates suggest that it will take ten hours!"
"Ten hours?" Xu Wenhai thought for a while and said anxiously: "Ten hours is too long. This is not acceptable. General Li, please let someone inform you. We only have four hours. Four hours."
There is no need to load any supplies that cannot be loaded onto the ship. All personnel will board the ship. As for the excess supplies, I will burn them all. I can’t take them away, and I can’t leave them to the Tatars.”
Hearing Xu Wenhai's words, Li Wanqing felt a fire rush to his forehead, "Burn? Mr. Xu, this is impossible..."
"General Li, do you think the supplies or the lives of our brothers are more important? Don't hesitate, listen to me and do whatever you have to do. Don't forget, the purpose of our trip is not to grab anything."
Xu Wenhai's tone was unquestionable. He knew well that you can't have your cake and eat it too. He was a pirate, and his belief in saving his life was almost ingrained in his bones. However, the same could not be said for Li Wanqing. He was a bandit, and he was very interested in money and silk.
He takes it seriously. To put it bluntly, he is used to being poor and is reluctant to let go of supplies.
Fortunately, Xu Wenhai's status was there, and Li Wanqing was unwilling and did not dare to disobey. Four hours passed quickly, and the naval officers of the Northern Shanxi Army who were active in Zhenjiang area boarded the ship one after another. At the same time, Zhenjiang
Thick smoke also rose into the sky from the north and south. From a distance, it looked like the entire area twenty miles around Zhenjiang had been set on fire.
In Phoenix City, west of Zhenjiang, Abatai led his 20,000 cavalrymen as they drove hard. Just after passing through Phoenix City, they could vaguely see a cloud of smoke in the east. It seemed that the smell of smoke could be smelled from a distance.
Seeing the smoke, Abate felt a little pain in his heart, and a bad feeling arose spontaneously.
Two hours later, when Abatai arrived at Zhenjiang, he captured Zhenjiang without any effort. However, Abatai couldn't laugh at all. He found that Zhenjiang and even several surrounding towns and tribes had been completely destroyed.
The Han people scraped everything clean, and the Han people were ruthless enough. They took away everything that could be taken away, and burned everything that could not be taken away.
A lamb that has not yet grown up has now turned into black coal and curled up into a ball. Seeing this scene, Abatai's heart was bleeding.
Oh my god, after this disaster, how will the Jurchen people in Haidong survive this winter?
The Han people are forcing the Kingdom of Jin to plow grass and valleys!
