There are five updates today, this is the first one.【】.
………
According to reports from various ministries, there were nearly 20,000 Qing troops leaving Shengjing. Adding in the Qing troops in Tieling, Shengjing City, Liaoyang and other places, it is conservatively estimated that there were 30,000 to 40,000 Qing troops in Shengjing alone.
Ten thousand people, this number is generally equivalent to the strength of Guan Ning's army. Without reinforcements, Guan Ning's army can defeat them one by one and complete the attack on Shengjing. But now Kangxi suddenly came to conquer the city in person, and there were still ten people in the area.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, this made all the generals dumbfounded. They were not fools. They could tell who was better and who was worse at a glance. The army had been in a stalemate in Qingyuan for several days, but there was no way to break through the Qing army in front of them. If
When Kangxi came again with an army of hundreds of thousands, it was no longer a question of standing still, but a question of where to withdraw.
No one thought that Kangxi would leave the border, and Zhao Qiang did not expect it, because this situation was not within his judgment at all. Combined with the situation of the San Francisco Rebellion, Zhao Qiang always believed that no matter how unfavorable the war outside the border was to the Qing army, Kangxi would not come out.
Pass, because he has so many Eight Banners on hand that can be used outside the Pass, unless he transfers the Green Camp out of the Pass! But the intelligence shows that the soldiers accompanying the army are all Eight Banners soldiers, including the Han Army Green Camp, which makes Zhao Qiang a little incredible:
Where did Kangxi mobilize the army from?
Since the pacification of the three feudal lords in the 21st year of Kangxi's reign, the total force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty inside and outside the Pass has not exceeded 200,000, and most of the elites who can fight have been concentrated in the Beijing Camp Forward, Xiaoqi, Guard and other camps. The total strength of the Qing Dynasty is about three
Between 10,000 and 40,000, these tens of thousands of troops were also Kangxi's main force. They could be said to be the lifeblood of the entire Manchu clan. In addition, the Eight Banners troops stationed in the provinces within the pass were mostly just decorations and not worthy of attention at all.
, there are some old Eight Banners soldiers and horses outside the pass, but only the Eight Banners soldiers in Shengjing, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Ningguta have been eliminated. After all this calculation, Zhao Qiang really doubts that Kangxi was in such a short period of time.
Why did he mobilize more than 100,000 people from the Eight Banners to leave the customs? Is it possible that Kangxi could still spread the beans and form an army?
After Wu Sangui raised his army, the Eight Banners troops stationed in the southern provinces collapsed. The strength of the first battle was such that when the Wu army advanced to the Yangtze River, there was no Eight Banners army south of the Yangtze River to resist. They were either wiped out or fled back to the north of the Yangtze River. After that,
Until the end of the war, there were no more 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers to participate in the war against Wu. All the Han army's green battalions participated in the war. The Eight Banners soldiers only stayed behind to supervise the formation and pick up peaches. Their combat power was not worth mentioning. Even Wu Sangui's grandson
It was time for Wu Shi to retreat to Kunming. General Zhangtai of Yuanping and General Laita of the Qing Dynasty led the troops of Hunan and Guangxi to besiege Kunming. In order to gain credit, they forced the Green Camp to be replaced and let the six thousand soldiers they brought with them
The Eight Banners attacked the city, but failed repeatedly. They were defeated in battle and lost troops. They were no match for the Wu army trapped in the city. In the end, it was the brave general Zhao Liangdong who led the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion to capture Kunming. Kangxi was also captured by the Eight Banners.
He was so angry that he killed Zhangtai and Laita. After that, he tried his best to reorganize the military equipment of the Eight Banners disciples and restore the ancestral riding and shooting glory. However, the Eight Banners inside the pass deteriorated too fast and were rotten to the core.
Here, the mud cannot hold up the wall. This situation changed slightly after the Yongzheng Dynasty, but it only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. In the event of a major war, the main force was still the green camp. For example, in the original time and space, the 29th year of Kangxi's expedition to Ge'er
Dan, in the second campaign of the 43rd year of Kangxi's reign, the Junggar expedition, in the 56th year of the Kangxi reign, the expedition to the Tibetan border areas, the so-called ten major campaigns of the Qianlong period, etc., all with one exception were the Han army's green battalion as the main force, and the Eight Banners were simply the starting point.
The most famous example is that Kangxi's uncle Tong Guogang led thousands of Eight Banners cavalry to conquer Geer, but was killed by Geerdan and the whole army was wiped out.
troops, hastily ended his "imperial expedition". After he came back, he declared a great victory without any shame. It was really a joke in the world. He had the same virtue as Yaksa's battle against the Russian army. It was obvious that he was defeated, but he insisted on being proud of himself. What a big deal.
The victory was recorded in history with great fanfare, causing later generations to think that the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were so great during the "Kangxi Prosperity".
, I have to believe it! Kangxi’s bullshit army of hundreds of thousands! At most, it would be good to bring out 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. The trick of claiming to be hundreds of thousands or more than 200,000 will only fool those stupid people.
, fool me, you Kang Mazi are a little too young!
Seeing that all the generals looked worried, as if they were frightened by Kangxi's personal conquest, Zhao Qiang was so angry that he slammed the table and cursed: "You are all fucking cowards! Why, when Kangxi comes, this battle will not be fought, you guys
Are you all so scared that you want to run for your life? Should I ask someone to pack your bags and run away with you now?"
After hearing this, all the generals blushed and had thick necks, and they sat there in a daze, not daring to say a word.
"Ha ha ha ha"
Zhao Qiang took a few steps forward and suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at, Marshal?" Hu Wang didn't know why Zhao Qiang was laughing, and looked at Zhao Qiang with a confused expression. Qi Zhuang and He Manchuan also looked puzzled. Kangxi was already driving the army himself, so how could the Marshal still laugh?
Zhao Qiang glanced at the three generals and sneered: "I'm laughing at you. You clamored to break into the pass every day and rushed into the capital to kill Kangxi. Now Kangxi comes to the door himself, but you are all scared and afraid! You are all damned.
It’s what’s in a girl’s crotch, not on the table!”
Hearing this, He Manchuan couldn't bear it any more, and jumped out with a bang and shouted: "The generals are not afraid of Kangxi, it's just that we have few soldiers and food shortages at the moment, and it is difficult to deal with the enemies of Shengjing alone. Now
Kangxi brought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs at once, so we have no advantage at all."
Qi Zhuang also nodded and said: "Commander, when I finally join you in raising troops, I have already put my head on my waist. If I don't succeed, I will be a benevolent person. There is nothing to say, but now we can't advance and retreat, can we really take it seriously?"
Are we going to fight the Qing army to the death?"
Hu Wang thought for a moment and said: "If Emperor Kangxi went on a personal expedition, then the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses he brought must be elite troops, and their strength would be several times greater than ours. Let's not talk about whether the brothers are afraid or not, just simply
Let’s just talk about it, we have no chance of winning this battle.”
"His Kangxi bullshit army of hundreds of thousands!"
Zhao Qiang waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "Even if he does, we are not afraid of him! Not only are we not afraid of him, we also want him to be afraid of us!"
Seeing that Zhao Qiang seemed to have some clever tricks, Hu Wang hurriedly asked: "What do you mean, Marshal?"
"Commander, have you thought of how to deal with the Qing army?" Qi Zhuang and He Manchuan also came over, looking at Zhao Qiang expectantly.
Zhao Qiang said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect any clever tricks, but I know that the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we really have to fight the Qing army in Qingyuan, we are all doomed!"
Hu Wang was stunned: "Then the commander-in-chief means to withdraw?"
"Where to retreat?" He Manchuan asked.
"Who said I was going to withdraw?"
After sweeping away the three favorite generals, Zhao Qiang said slowly: "The soldiers are going to make dangerous moves! We are not going to fight Kangxi's army head-on. If he comes out of the pass, we will enter the pass!"
"It's impossible for Kangxi to bring hundreds of thousands of troops out of the border!"
"Damn it, if the soldiers come to block it, if the water comes, the soil will flood it. I'm afraid of a ball!"
