Chapter 158 The Arrival of Kormi Mongolian Soldiers
Wang Hongyu saw that the remaining camps of Jiannu behind him had been burned to the ground. There was no need for any disguise now, so it was best to retreat as soon as possible.
"Let's go! The wounded soldiers will immediately retreat to Guangning in ox-carts and horses. The remaining soldiers will walk to the Liao River. They will not cross the river yet and will garrison in place."
Guangning is 500 miles away. To get to Guangning, you need to pass through the Liaohe River. The main bridge over the Liaohe River is 200 miles away.
Let You Shilu and Qin Minping take the auxiliary soldiers and wounded soldiers and wounded generals, and under the cover of their light and heavy cavalry, first go on the road on carts and mules.
The remaining 3,000 people carried the bodies of their comrades in bullock carts and retreated on foot.
Old General Chen Ce was hit by dozens of arrows, of which only one was fatal. This arrow was shot by Nurhaci, and its force penetrated the armor and penetrated the lungs.
Now his body has been preliminarily processed and transported back together on a bullock cart.
Tong Zhongkui and Qi Jin died in battle side by side, and their bodies were brought back together. The bodies of the other veterans, as long as they were still intact, were all transported back together. Those that were incomplete were solemnly buried by the Hun River.
These heroic souls will forever be transformed into the souls of the Hun River, guarding the land of China from generation to generation. No matter whether people remember or forget, the souls of the Hun River will forever be cast into the soul of China.
The eldest brother Zhou Dunji.
His last words before his death: "We won the bloody battle of Hunhe River."
This is also my most urgent first goal when I came to Wanming.
Achieved.
However, wounded soldiers should be given priority to leave, and the safety of the living is most important.
Wang Hongyu set an example by giving priority to ensuring that the injured soldiers left first, ensuring their safety as much as possible, and treating the corpses of every comrade so seriously.
The soldiers all saw it in their eyes, and they were all grateful and willing to fight to the end with Wang Hongyu, even if they were injured.
With such a general, everyone is willing to fight with him.
On the contrary, Yuan Yingtai had an excellent reputation and was famous for his benevolence and righteousness, but he was aloof and did not know how to fight and insisted on taking care of everything. Everyone felt cold towards him.
Before, everyone knew that the Southern Army was at odds with Yuan Yingtai, so no one publicly stood on their side and only dared to write secretly. Now it was a bloody battle in the Hunhe River. Yuan Yingtai first added fuel to the fire and killed many people, but also did not dare to send reinforcements, which was a waste of time.
Chance.
In the bloody battle at Hunhe River, all the generals and every soldier hated Yuan Yingtai to the core.
Wang Hongyu now doesn't even consider going to Liaoyang, which is relatively nearby.
If you go there and have to listen to Yuan Yingtai for everything, you will simply be cheated to death.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was a great disparity in the status of civil and military people. Some people were ashamed to be in contact with warriors, while others completely regarded themselves as superior to warriors.
As a descendant of the founding marquis, Wang Hongyu certainly wanted to reverse this situation.
To reverse this situation, the Donglin Party must step aside.
Wang Hongyu was thinking in the longer term. In addition to leveraging the power of Wei Zhongxian and Tianqi to rise in the future, he was also thinking about how to continue to deal with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji.
Now I am thinking about the whereabouts of my second brother Zhang Shenwu.
Before leaving, he said he would go to Tieling and Kaiyuan.
It will be the enemy's rear area, and it is a mountainous area suitable for guerrilla warfare.
Especially Kaiyuan is very suitable.
Kaiyuan people deeply hated Jiannu, which was very different from Liaoyang, which had maintained trade with Nurhachi for a long time and had an ambiguous relationship.
Thinking that Kaiyuan was so developed back then and was undoubtedly the brightest trading city in the eastern part of the grassland, now that Kaiyuan was destroyed and not many soldiers and civilians were left, Wang Hongyu felt very heartbroken.
If conditions permit, a base area can be opened up in the mountainous area of Kaiyuan Tieling.
However, the economic foundation is the key. Kaiyuan was severely destroyed, there were almost no local farmers, and it faced enemies on both sides. It was ten times more difficult to develop the base area than other places.
It definitely can't be done now.
However, if you defeat the enemy invaders on the grassland in the future, you can build a base in Tieling Kaiyuan and use it as an outpost to constantly harass the enemy.
It's definitely too early for my second brother to go now.
Now is the time for Nurhachi to paint a big picture for the people of Liaodong and deceive them.
A few years later, he went on a mass killing spree of "grainless" Han people for the benefit of Jianzhou and the Manchus.
At that time, the development of base areas behind enemy lines would inevitably cause huge waves.
However, the second brother must have his own thoughts when he goes behind enemy lines at this time.
If the enemy has a thorn in his back and is in a key place connecting Mongolia like Tieling and Kaiyuan, he will encounter huge resistance in his future growth.
Tieling also had several small fortresses that he had built. At this time, Nurhaci gathered the main force to fight and did not divide his troops to occupy them at all.
The second brother can use it just right.
The previous arrangements and mistakes have now become important supports.
correct.
Before leaving, Zhang Shenwu told him twice that the affairs concerning Jiannu should be left to him.
Let yourself retain the seeds of veterans to eliminate the She'an family that will inevitably cause chaos.
The eldest brother and the second brother both gave this guidance to themselves.
The eldest brother also has connections in Yunyang.
And Qin Ling will definitely help him grow stronger, and they will take revenge on Jiannu together in the future.
I also formed a deep relationship with Qin Bangping and Qin Minping.
It seems that Yunyang, Shizhu and Shennongjia can be connected into one. Kill the She'an family, occupy their land, and start their own business. Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian will cover themselves and treat the Donglin Party's remarks of causing trouble as nothing.
nonsense.
The plan has been made, it’s up to you to grasp it.
...
The 26,000 people who established the Seven Banners were beaten by less than 10,000 Ming troops and fled in panic.
It's not that they can't outnumber the Ming army, but that the mentality of ordinary soldiers has completely collapsed.
The five auxiliary ministers are the highest of non-Aisin Gioro bloodline and the ultimate goal for ordinary Eight Banners soldiers to strive for.
Zhang Shenwu waved the heads of the five of them. This image was imprinted in their minds and they could not get rid of it for a long time.
I have no intention of fighting at all.
Nurhaci tried his best, but when he saw the heads of five old men being chopped off, he was so furious that he was almost injured by Zhang Shenwu.
Dai Shan was hammered to death by Wang Hongyu, and would have been hammered to death if not for Huang Taiji's rescue.
As for Mang Gurtai, who felt good about himself, he winked at Chao Daishan from time to time, as if to say, I almost killed Wang Hongyu, but you were almost hammered to death by him, you are so good~
Nurhachi was furious when he saw it.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji was more ambitious. When he was chasing Li Bingcheng's defeated troops, he built a pontoon bridge on the Hun River south of Fengji Fort.
Don't worry about not being able to cross the river at this time.
But Nurhachi thought about it and realized that there was no need to rush back across the river, because another news came from Liaoyang's headquarters, saying that Yuan Yingtai did not send reinforcements, and only some auxiliary troops came over.
In this case, Kormi's troops arrived, and their troops absolutely crushed the remaining soldiers of the Southern Army.
But the troublesome thing is that the main camp was captured and burned by the Ming army. Now that the Seven Banners soldiers and horses do not return to Shenyang, they will have no place to live and nothing to eat. They crossed the river north and returned to Shenyang, and then crossed the river south and missed the opportunity.
He has a headache. At this time, the five ministers are usually responsible for logistics. Now that they are gone, who will share my worries?
It's getting dark, do we really want to return to Shenyang? It will be difficult to cross the Hunhe River after we are discouraged.
At this time, dust was rising from the north shore.
2000 Mongolian cavalry appeared.
Judging from the flag, it was the cavalry of the Kormi tribe, led by Wu Keshan.
