On September 27th, Cheng Jin led the First Division of the Beijing Military Region to cross the Great Wall from Datong Prefecture and enter Chaheer.
In the early years of Chongzhen, the ancient Chahar tribe was the main opponent of the Qing court to conquer the ancient people and the main force of the Ming Dynasty to unite against the Qing Dynasty. In 1632, Huang Taiji took a big move in order to completely pacify the ancient peoples and relieve the worries of going south.
Attacking Chahar, Lin Danhan, the leader of the Chahar tribe, was defeated and died of illness. His son Ezhe was captured and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was later promoted to Prince Heshuo. The Qing court appointed Chahar as a banner and placed it in Yizhou, Liaoning.
In the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty (1636), Huang Taiji organized the area originally belonging to Chahar into the Eight Banners, and each banner was established as the general manager.
After the Qing court entered the pass, it stipulated that the Eight Banners of Chahar were outside the forty-nine ancient banners of Méng. They were nomadic in Xuanhua and outside the border of Datong. The officials were not allowed to be inherited and the affairs were not allowed to be self-dedicated. In fact, they were directly controlled by the Qing court. And it stipulated that the Cialis was not allowed to be hereditary.
The jurisdiction of Haji is: from the east to the Keshkten border, from the west to the Tumote border of Guihua City, from the south to the Taipu Temple Maid Factory and the Shanxi border, and from the north to the Sunit and the Siziwang tribe boundaries. It is generally from the northeast.
The inclined long strips moving southwestward are about 30,000 to 40,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a Taiwan island.
Because the Chahar area is close to the north of the Great Wall, there are two important intersections for Datong Prefecture and Zhangjiakou, which are traded with the mainland, and traded with the Han people in the Great Wall very frequently. The local ancient residents of Méng were deeply influenced by the Chinese, and the Eight Banners of Chahar were stationed in the Chahar area.
The ancients who lived near the Eight Banners of Chahar changed their nomadic habits and began to settle down and cultivate land and farm, and the nomadic fishing and hunting ethnic groups changed to settled and farming ethnic groups. Therefore, the ethnic situation in the Chahar region
It also shows diversified development.
At this time, after Shuosai, Boluo and Yue Le occupied Chahar, some of the remaining people from the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Han Dynasty fled out of the Great Wall and came to join them. Now the troops have expanded to six or seven thousand. But they are still not enough to control them.
In the entire Chahar area, the three people now mainly concentrated their troops in Chahar, Zhenghuang Banner.
Since the Chinese army did not block the intersection of Fengzhen and Zhangjiakou from the Great Wall, news about the mainland of the Great Wall could also be spread outside the Great Wall. Shang Yi arrived in Beijing to inspect, and the news that the Chinese army was preparing to use military force against the ancient Chinese army soon reached Chahar
.Shuose, Boluo, and Yue Le immediately asked for help to the Zhelim League, Zhaowuda League, and Zhuosotu League, asking for help, please rescue them and send troops to support themselves.
But the ancient Méng flags, like the Eight Banners, are military-civilians, and are usually only a few conventional troops. The herdsmen of other flags are usually nomadic, and they only form troops in wartime, so it takes time to form an army. And the Chinese Army
All the troops had already prepared themselves and were ready to fight. With just one order, they could start the battle immediately. Of course, the movements were much faster.
Datong Prefecture is located in the southwest of Chahar. Although the Eight Banners of Chahar have built a city and established a village, the city defense facilities are very simple. It is originally made of loess to build a soil enclosure, with a height of no more than one zhang and a thickness of about three or four.
It is OK to defend against horses and thieves in the city wall, but it is almost useless in front of the Chinese army, and the forces of guards of each flag were extremely weak. Therefore, after Cheng Jin led the army into Chahar, he first easily broke through the southwest.
The two flags of Chahar were red and red, and the large group of people advanced to the Nalin River.
Now Shuosai, Boluo and Yue Le have only more than 7,000 troops under their command, and there is no city to defend the Zhenghuang Banner Chahar. At this time, the reinforcements from the ancient alliances had not arrived yet, so of course they dare not confront the Chinese army. Therefore, after discussing, the three decided to abandon the Zhenghuang Banner Chahar, retreat northeast to the Yinghuang Banner Chahar to garrison, and then join the reinforcements of the Zhelim League, Zhaowuda League, and Zhuosotu League, and then go with China after joining the reinforcements of the Zhelim League, Zhaowuda League, and Zhuosotu League. Army battles.
As a result, the Chinese army had no blood and occupied more than 100 miles of Chahar area when the Chinese army entered the Chahar area.
The Chahar of Zhenghuang Banner is located on the east bank of Nalin River, only a dozen miles away from Qierpo. Therefore, Chengjin decided to garrison the troops in Zhenghuang Banner, waiting for the arrival of Qing Dynasty reinforcements.
Before sending troops, the Chinese army had already emphasized military discipline. Although it occupied three banners in a row, it did not invade the herdsmen. Moreover, Chaha's surrender to the Qing court did not last long, and the Chahar tribe was added. He was always warned by the Qing court and did not form a alliance, but was directly controlled by the Qing court. The subordinates had no good feelings for the Qing court. Therefore, the subordinates of the Three Banners were also very obedient to the rule of the Chinese army. There was not much resistance.
After escaping from Chahar, Zhenghuang Banner, Shuosai, Boluo and Yue Le escaped to Chahar, the Inlaid Yellow Banner, and the reinforcements of the three alliances also arrived≤Lim League did fully support the Qing court, After Keshan returned to the Zhelim League, he immediately ordered the alliance to place the ten flags and recruit herdsmen from each flag to form troops. Therefore, after receiving a rescue letter from Shuosai and three others, Ukshan, Chahan, Sonamu, Man The four Zhu Xili brothers all dispatched to recruit the ten flags of the entire alliance, with a total of about 20,000 people. When they came to rescue Chahar‖, they also sent people to urge Zhaowuda League and Zhusuotu League to send troops.
The Zhaowuda League and Zhuosotu League were originally just trying to support the remaining troops of the Qing court verbally, but they did not want to send troops. However, seeing that the Zhelim League had already sent troops, it was difficult to refuse the two alliances. The Chinese army is indeed quite wary. Although the Yuan Dynasty has been destroyed for more than 300 years, the conflicts between the Han Dynasty exist and lack trust between each other. In addition, Shuosai, Boluo and Yue Le repeatedly exaggerated the strength of the Han people. , to eliminate the ancient tribes, the two alliances felt that they should send troops no matter what, even if they were just doing it.
Zhaowuda League has eight tribes and eleven banners. The current leader is Wenbu, Aohan Left Banner, who was named Prince of Zasakdoro, and dispatched about 7,000 troops. Zhuoshutu League has two tribes and five banners, and is currently serving. The leader of the alliance is Mazik, Kalaqin Right Banner, and was named Dorodulenbele. Because the Zhuosotu Alliance is small, only 4,000 troops were dispatched. As the three alliances were added together, the total strength of the troops exceeded At this time, the population of the ancient alliances was not large, and the large alliances such as the Zhelim alliance were only hundreds of thousands, while the small alliances such as the Zhuosuo Alliance had only more than 100,000 people, so they could gather. It is already very good to have such a force.
Therefore, the two sides merged in Chaheer, the Inlaid Yellow Banner, and formed a Manchurian coalition. At this time, the total force reached more than 38,000, most of which were cavalry, reaching more than 33,000 cavalry, and the number of horses exceeded that of the horses. 60,000 horses, because most of the ancient soldiers were one man and two cavalry, a few were one man and three cavalry, and there were more than 5,000 animals. The infantry were mainly the remaining troops of the Qing court, and the Qing army had about 600 more Muskets and six small cannons.
After the gathering of the troops, Shuosai, Boluo and Yue Le were all relieved, so everyone immediately started a discussion on how to deal with the Chinese army.
At this time, the coalition forces also basically investigated the strength of the Chinese army. This time the Chinese army dispatched the First Army of the Beijing Military Region, and there were two cavalry regiments, Shuosai, Boluo, Yue Le and others to the Chinese army's number
The organization is familiar with it, so it can be calculated that the total strength of the Chinese army is about 33,000 and the cavalry is more than 5,000.
Shuosai, Boluo, and Yue Le have been dealing with the Chinese army for a long time and knowing the power of the Chinese army. Therefore, they all think that they should refuse to defend in Chaheer, and at the same time, they send people to persuade the naturalized city of Tumote.
Dak and Uncle Dehun sent troops to launch an attack from behind the Chinese army. It would be better to persuade the Xilingol League and the Ulanqab League to send troops, and then three groups of people attacked the Chinese army together, so that they had a chance of victory.
However, the three alliances of the ancient Gu did not agree with their opinions, because the various alliances of the ancient Gu did not fight with the Chinese army, and did not believe that the Chinese army's combat effectiveness was so strong. Although both sides fought once outside Beijing, the ancient army was defeated.
But that time it was a battle with the Chinese army's cavalry, and now the entire Chinese army has only more than 5,000 cavalry, and the méng army is composed of cavalry. In the eyes of the banner owners of the ancient banners, the cavalry is still invincible in the world.
The troops and the terrain of the grassland are indeed beneficial to cavalry operations. There is also something that no one is embarrassed to say, that is, the last time the ancient army was defeated by Shuosai, if it were replaced by himself
Leading the army will never fail.
Even though I heard that the Chinese army was good at using firearms, the cavalry also mainly used firearms to fight. The ancients didn't care much about it. Using muskets on horseback was nothing more than using bows and arrows on horseback. Therefore, the flag owners of all alliances and flag owners
He advocated taking the initiative to attack the Zhenghuang Banner Chahar, giving the Chinese army a head-on blow.
Although Shuosai, Boluo, and Yue Le all know that taking the initiative is a good fortune, no matter how they explain, how brave and good at fighting, how powerful and terrible the firearms are, but most of the ancient flag owners are
I don't believe it. And I said too much, which also aroused some people's disgust. At this time, the ancients were still a nation that respected heroes, so they were already implicitly dissatisfied with the timid and timid enemies of the three.
In fact, this is not surprising, because in this era, if it were not for seeing it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to believe that muskets and cannons were really so powerful, not to mention that the ancient tribes still lived in relatively closed and backward areas. It was the Qing Dynasty that year,
It took several years to face the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.
In addition, there are indeed some objective reasons for the méng ancient alliances to take the initiative to fight. Because there are few logistical support for the various troops between the grasslands, the army only carries a small amount of food and swell, and they fight and grab it there.
Of course, the combat time of each grassland unit is not long. Basically, the outcome of the first and second world wars is determined, and few delay it to more than one month. Therefore, there is no need to prepare logistics once. Of course, it is no exception. All alliance flags have also been eliminated.
The battle was decided quickly and the war was over as soon as possible. After a long time, I couldn't stand it.
After all, Shuosai, Boluo, and Yue Le are now relying on the various alliances. Seeing that everyone advocated fighting, they did not dare to stick to their own opinions, so they had to agree with the opinions of the banner leaders of each alliance and send troops to attack the Zhenghuang Banner Chahar.
So everyone unanimously recommended that Ukshan, the leader of the Zhelim League, be the chief general of the coalition forces. Ukshan also ordered that the King of Zhasakdarhan County, Korqin Left Wing Central Banner, Manzhu Xili and Aohan Right Banner, Zhasakdoro County
Wang Majik and his two men led their troops as vanguards and immediately sent troops to attack Chahar, Zhenghuang Banner.q!.
