In the second year of the Apocalypse, on the 16th day of the first lunar month, Nurhachi commanded 60,000 elite troops, led by 100,000 slaves, claiming to be 100,000 regular soldiers, and launched a mighty attack on Guangning, Liaoxi, unveiling the decisive battle of Guangning that determined the fate of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.

In the second year of Tianqi, on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Mao Wenlong swore an oath to sacrifice the flag at Tieshan and sent out eight thousand troops, known as - 80,000. He sent troops to Liaodong on the back of Hou Jin to contain Hou Jin and cooperate with the Guangning battlefield.

Eight thousand and eighty thousand, everyone would brag to each other, remembering that when Vietnam wanted to resist Zhu Di's conquest, with a population of only two million, it was said that an army of three million was ready. Anyway, these days, this is a good thing.

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month is one of the traditional Chinese lunar festivals. There are several festivals on this day: 1. Popular day. , "Sending crickets and scorpions" festival. 4. Day of putting down lanterns. 5. Putting away lanterns.

Day 6, Acupuncture Day 7, White Tiger Opening Day 8, Pulling the Dead Ghost 9, Miao "Mang Ge Festival", 10, Fenggang "Pilgrimage to the Pearl Empress".

There are no taboos on this day. It is a day to do whatever you want. Of course, it is the best day to send out troops to kill people.

So Mao Wenlong raised his army and swore an oath to fight at Tieshan.

After reading Xu Jie's gorgeous and impassioned plea for slavery, Mao Wenlong prepared to kill the cow to sacrifice the flag. As a result, Mao Xueli felt distressed: "Father, you can't kill cows. We already have few, and we have to wait for them to plow the land in the spring."

.”

This is indeed a pity to kill, so the next best thing is to do the next best thing: "Then bring a donkey -"

"Commander, you can't do that." Zhang Pan stepped forward to stop him: "Donkeys are even more precious. When the army goes on an expedition, they need them to carry supplies, but they can't be killed."

"Then-"

"If you don't want to kill the dog, I can give you extra food in the evening." Lu Yixue suggested.

Mao Wenlong had a dark look on his face at that time. When the army went out for an expedition, he killed a chicken. Was he preparing to scare the monkeys? When the army went out for an expedition, this was a serious issue and should not be so funny.

So Mao Wenlong simply didn't even kill the chicken, so he still had to wait for the eggs to be laid.

He drew out his sword, waved it three times to the sky, and declared to the soldiers and the people with a serious face that he, a half-immortal, had killed three demons that were blocking his way. Then, amidst the inexplicable cheers of the army, and in the crowds of people passing by to see him off.

, the troops were divided into four groups and marched toward Liaodong in a mighty manner.

The army traveled smoothly all the way. When passing through Xiangguan, the local people burned incense and bowed along the road to thank Mao Wenlong for letting everyone clean the battlefield.

When he crossed the Yalu River again, Mao Wenlong really had mixed feelings. After parting with the armies in other directions and setting foot on the road to Zhenjiang, Mao Wenlong looked up to the sky and howled: "I, Hu Hansan, am back again——"

This wolf howl that reached his heart, no, according to Mao Wenlong's identity at this time, it should be called tiger roar and dragon roar. Of course, it shocked the owner of the big gold and blue flag, A Min.

When the news that Mao Wenlong suddenly sent troops to the rear of Liaodong reached Amin in an urgent situation of 800 miles, it was the 22nd of the first lunar month, and the Guangning campaign in western Liaoning had officially begun. Nurhachi's 60,000-strong army disobeyed the Ming Dynasty Shizi Superintendent

We followed the rule of not using troops in the first month of the year, and believed that the enemy would also enforce this rule and relax their vigilance. They crossed the Liao River unexpectedly and attacked Xiping Fort. This was a battle between Guangning and Jin Dynasty, which was related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

The battle officially begins.

In the battle of Xiangguan in Zhenjiang, Amin lost troops and generals, and his deputy, Anfei Yanggu, one of the five great ministers of justice in Dajin, was killed with one shot. Such a failure had never happened since the day when Dajin raised its troops.

When Amin and Nurhaci ended the war with the honorable excuse of Anfei Yanggu dying in front of the army, turning a war to eliminate future troubles into a pot of raw rice, Amin was attacked by Nurhaci and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Although in the end, with the help of Huang Taiji, Amin escaped most of the blame, Nurhaci also took this opportunity to weaken Amin's strength, reduced his rank by one level, and fined him 50,000 silver. In the battle, Niulu and Jiale were damaged.

It was directly cancelled. In this way, Amin's original 33 Niulu, the second largest flag besides Zhenghuang Banner, were reduced by five, leaving twenty-five.

This was a huge blow to Amin's influence in Daikin, and the actual blow was also unbearable for Amin.

He was inexplicably beaten several times by Mao Wenlong. After the war, it was counted that more than 3,000 Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers were lost. This was an absolutely huge proportion of battle losses at that time.

This has become unbearable for Amin, and the most unacceptable thing for him is the huge consumption of materials. Because this troop dispatch, since entering North Korea, can no longer plunder unscrupulously, the result is a loss-making deal.

The Eight Banners still practice the habit of bringing their own food, grass, swords, guns and horses to go into battle, but this depends on the situation. According to the Eight Banners' understanding, conquering cities and territories is a business. Everyone pays for their own food and life. This is capital, and after the war, it can be exchanged for huge seizures.

Benefit.

But if you can't plunder along the way when chasing Mao Wenlong this time, then it's not a business. We are working for the flag master. If you hire me to work for you, then the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so then your boss should take care of it.

I ate and drank, so Amin took out his own inventory for the first time to provide logistical supplies to the soldiers and slaves who went on an expedition.

It was from this supply of supplies that Amin completely understood and sympathized with the difficulties of the Ming Emperor's household department.

Especially for an all-cavalry unit like my own, the grain and beans consumed by one war horse can be equivalent to the needs of ten soldiers. Calculating, one person and two horses, the total number of troops sent forward and backward is 7,000, and more than 10,000 horses are equal to

The consumption of an army of 150,000 people, and the loss of forward transportation is even more shocking. In this short war of less than a month, Amin's own treasury was consumed by 30%.

Thirty percent, what a huge number that is? No wonder the Ming Dynasty, with such a strong national power and such a large population and land, could not afford the money, food, and military pay for the frontline soldiers from time to time.

This battle also taught the whole of Dajin a good lesson, allowing them to understand why, for five thousand years, the grassland people were invincible against the Han people at the beginning, but once the real

The reason for the rapid collapse after entering the formal stage is the huge consumption and the huge catastrophic outcome caused by the prairie people's ignorance of production and lack of output.

This battle also caused a quiet change in the Houjin Group, that is, the policy idea of ​​being gentle to the Han people promoted by Huang Taiji was also tacitly approved by most people, including Nurhachi, because they saw that there was no such thing as the Han people.

Labor supply, real war, people like me, who are born bandits, cannot afford it.

Therefore, Nurhachi's tough hair-cutting order was no longer enforced forcefully, and it was a bit anticlimactic. When Dorgon later implemented the hair-cutting order, it was already implemented in order to unify thoughts and cognition after occupying the Ming Dynasty.

After Amin was defeated this time, he originally needed a period of self-cultivation, but Hou Jin launched the Guangning Campaign against Liaoxi. After thinking twice, Amin still asked for orders to go into battle. Because, for the victory of this battle, everyone

No one has any doubt that this will be another feast of plunder. Through this feast, the deficit of the last time can be completely filled, or there may be a surplus. Dajin's national power is as strong as it has been for thousands of years.

Just like the wars started by foreign races against the Central Plains, they gained captures during the war and strengthened their strength.

As a result, Amin's Xianglan Banner once again mobilized 5,000 Eight Banner warriors to accompany Nurhachi in Guangning, Liaoxi Province, leaving less than 3,000 soldiers in the vast Xianglan Banner territory to suppress the rising Han resistance.

Of course, he didn't care much about Mao Wenlong. He had lost three thousand soldiers and nearly ten thousand Han slaves in the battle. Mao Wenlong was also injured, so he should just be happy if he didn't bother him.

As a result, when the news that Mao Wenlong suddenly sent troops to Liaodong reached Amin's ears in an urgent situation, Amin was completely deceived by Mao Wenlong.

This is too unreasonable, and it will make it difficult for people to have fun with him in the future.

Mao Wenlong's dispatch of troops was a big deal, and it was related to the foundation of his own blue flag. He had to go back for rescue, but this time Amin still reported it to Emperor Nurhachi as soon as possible.

Nurhaci gambled on the fate of the country this time, and devoted all his troops to raid Guangning, Liaoxi Province. Now the troops surrounded Xiping Fort, and the idea was to encircle the point for reinforcements, mobilize the Ming army bit by bit, and then move in the fields bit by bit.

wipe out.

As a result, at this time, Amin sent the news that Mao Wenlong was behind the troops, which surprised Nurhachi.

But he was just shocked, and then made a decision without thinking at all: "Guanning in western Liaoning is the basis of the battle, Mao Wenlong is just harassing Zhijie, you order your left-behind troops to gather up and stick to the big city, and let him come and go in the countryside.

After we go all out to capture Guangning, we will go back and deal with Mao Wenlong." Then he stopped looking at Amin and continued to lie in front of the map on the table, continuing to study the war in front of him with a group of subordinates.
