From a military point of view, this maneuver of the Qing army was quite beautiful. This showed Dorgon's superb commanding skills and the Qing army's strong military style.
You must know that this was done after the Qing army completely destroyed the two Ming armies of Lu and Gao. Now the only Ming army that dares to fight in the field is Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army with ten thousand troops (Dorgon got
information, he did not know that Wu Shigong's Runing Army was added).
Moreover, the Ruzhou Army is basically all infantry, and its combat effectiveness and mobility are far inferior to that of the Qing Army. It only has some bright spots in defense. Dorgon believes that as long as the Ruzhou Army does not take the initiative to attack the camps and cities defended by the Ruzhou Army,
, if the Ruzhou Army catches up, the Qing army can easily take down this Ming army in a field battle. In other words, the Ruzhou Army is no longer a threat in Dorgon's eyes, and is at most a minor trouble.
According to common sense, after the general army has just won a great victory, if not extremely proud, at least it has relaxed its vigilance. However, the Qing army still guarded against arrogance and impetuosity, and executed tactical actions such as feints, sharp turns, and rapid advances meticulously.
It can also be seen that the Qing army's reputation for victory in every battle was not gained by chance.
What's more noteworthy is that at that time, such tactical actions were absolutely difficult. For example, if the Ming army did not collapse during the sudden turn, half of the troops would be considered a strong army.
.The Qing army did not even throw out the spies they sent out. This shows the discipline and tight organization of the Qing army. Of course, this also shows that the commanding officers at all levels of the Qing army have control over the troops.
However, Dorgon did not make such a tactical move for "show". He just made such a feint based on the instinct of an excellent commander. Perhaps he also thought that this was a useless effort and was a little ogling.
It felt like it was showing to a blind man. But this feint actually deceived both the Runing Army and the Ruzhou Army.
The Runing Army and the Ruzhou Army marched northward for three days and entered Baoding Prefecture. However, at this time they also felt that something was wrong. There were no traces of the army walking in front of them! So where did the Qing army go?
So the two armies stopped. Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian met first to make a summary, and then they decided that the Runing Army would stay in Baoding Prefecture and no longer approach the capital to avoid suspicion, while the Ruzhou Army would join a strengthened cavalry alliance.
Still go straight to the capital, even if the capital is safe and sound, I want peace of mind.
On New Year's Eve, the last day of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Yu Zilian led 14,000 people to the capital. The imperial court was also somewhat disapproving of this army that they had almost forgotten, because the troops of King Qin from various places arrived in the capital.
More than that, it was nothing more than a few words of praise to Yu Zilian and then sending him out to arrange a garrison.
But when Yu Zilian took out the heads of more than 500 Qing troops, and the Ministry of War confirmed that they were all real Tatars, the government and the public were immediately shocked. After the Qing troops entered the pass, the court was in mourning. When they learned that Lu Xiangsheng and
After the high and low armies were wiped out one after another, the capital was filled with a pessimistic mood. But at this moment, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army unexpectedly appeared. Why didn't this boost morale?
So after the first lunar month of the first lunar month, Emperor Chongzhen personally summoned Yu Zilian. After that, Yu Zilian immediately received the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. You must know that Yang Sichang, a great scholar, is currently serving as the Minister of the Ministry of War. If Yang Sichang resigned from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War in the future, Yu Zilian
Lian will be the popular candidate to take over, which shows how outstanding Yu Zilian is.
Moreover, Yu Zilian's extraordinary achievement was not opposed by anyone in the government or the public. Instead, it attracted a round of applause. This shows how strong the desire of the government and the public for a big victory is!
Yu Zilian immediately became a popular figure in the capital. From the first to the twelfth day of the lunar month, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Yu Zilian three times to listen to Yu Zilian's strategy. Important officials in the capital also hosted banquets one after another to make friends with this rising political star.
The people in the capital were in an atmosphere of joy after sweeping away the decline. The people spontaneously raised funds and sent them to the Ruzhou military camp outside the city. There were piles of rewards. Sadly, almost everyone forgot: the Qing army was still raging in the pass.
Well. After entering the customs, the Qing army lost at most more than a thousand people, and most of them were Mongolian herdsmen. It can be said that they were unscathed.
This ridiculous mentality of anesthesia is indeed very helpless, but the Qing army has done a terrible job. They simply will not let the government and the public remain anesthetized longer. On the 13th of the first lunar month, Shandong urgent news: On the first day of the first lunar month, the Qing army stormed Jinan, and Jinan took one day
And then, Jinan was lost.
On the first night of the first lunar month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, in Jinan City.
"Master! This house was given to the slaves by Master Beile, but there are only a few servants, so we can't afford so many, so I thought of the master first!" Helichi said to Niu Lu Ezhen with a smile.
"That's so embarrassing! I heard that you killed a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty?" Niu Lu'erzhen pretended to shirk.
"Master, you are laughing. After the slaves rushed into the city, they met a man in robes brandishing a sword. The slave's coated white pig stepped forward and gave him a knife. Unexpectedly, he later found out who he was and what he was. Listen to Baile
The master said that it seemed to be related to the cloth. When Master Beile was happy, he rewarded the things in this house to the slave." Helichi said with a smile.
"Good luck to you! Take it as a reward from Lord Beile!" Niu Lu'erzhen was still pretending.
"It's all in the master's book, how can I not think of him!" Helichi's mouth was also very sweet, "Besides, we are going to become a family. Also, Master Beile also gave me a future, and my slave
I just want to leave this future to this girl."
Niu Lu'e's eyes really brightened up. If he and Helichi got married, wouldn't the future be reserved for his fourth son? So Niu Lu'e was really happy and said with a smile: "Then I'm not welcome.
." Then Niu Lu'erzhen told the seventy-odd flag men and Baoyi who followed him: "We are divided into two groups. Don't take away the territory allocated to us Niu Lu. One group will go there, and the rest will go there.
Come into the house!"
Before entering the house, Niu Luerzhen suddenly saw the white pig huddled behind Helichi. He said to the white pig: "You are a good slave! I will choose a woman in the house later. Then I will protect you, Mr. He, when he goes out."
Guan, I will carry the flag for you when you get back."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" White Pig quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Before Bai Zhu could get up, the group of Qing soldiers, led by Niu Lu'erzhen, rushed into the house like wolves and tigers. After a while, the shouts of Qing soldiers and the shouts of women came from the house.
Screams.
"This Ming Dynasty is so rich! They hang such fine fabrics on the door and take them all back!"
"Don't be impatient! Go to every room first and pack everything away. There are a lot of women here, so don't grab them. Everyone has a share. Once you pack them up, you'll be happy!"
