Lubu Feijie has been spread to Kaifeng and Cizhou. After the loss of Dai Ming, Dorgon's troops pointed south towards the Yellow River, almost crossing the Yellow River's natural moat that was frozen in February and reaching the gates of Kaifeng City. The hearts of Kaifeng soldiers and civilians were deeply affected by this.
Shrouded in the shadow of , no one knows whether the Dashun New Dynasty will repeat the mistakes of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty.
After the news of the great victory in Liaocheng came out, the people of Kaifeng City spontaneously went to the streets to pass the news and cheered and celebrated. Especially after people heard the news that Ren Guangrong, who was guarding Liaocheng, shot and killed the famous Donglu king Bolo, many local people in Henan
The famous gentry came forward to raise funds for Ren Guangrong to build the Xianzhong Ancestral Hall and the Buddhist pagoda in Kaifeng.
Another famous general in the Manchu and Qing army, Duke Mandahai, set himself on fire and died in the army. The Qing army made a roundabout attack on more than 10,000 elite troops in Shandong, but only two or three thousand of them were in the town of Duke Yuele.
Under the leadership of the police, they escaped back to Daimyo by different routes.
Li Laiheng held the good news in his hand and was very excited. He clapped his hands and said:
"Ma Pingliang captured and killed the famous king of Donglu, which shocked the world in one fell swoop and changed the offensive and defensive momentum between the enemy and ourselves. He deserves great credit."
Ma Bao was from Pingliang Prefecture, and Bolo actually committed suicide rather than died at the hands of the Shun army. However, after the battle, when the defenders were cleaning the battlefield, they found Bolo, who had been killed by the guards in the outer Qing army camp.
The body was confirmed to be that of Prince Duanzhong of the Qing Army based on his inner clothing, shoes and socks, and the general orders he wore.
After Ma Bao heard the news, he immediately ordered the pursuers who were chasing Yue Le's remaining defeated generals along the way to publicize his achievements in killing Bo Luo at the foot of Liaocheng City in order to block the entrance of Donglu.
As expected, this good news was deliberately spread by Ma Bao, and soon caused an uproar in the north and south of the river. The Beiting was shocked by it, and was leading an army of 100,000 to besiege Anyang and Kaizhou. Wei Hui's father, the regent Dorgon, heard the news
Furious, he immediately imprisoned Yue Le, who had just escaped back to his name, and interrogated him, placing the responsibility for the failure of the surprise attack on Liaocheng on Yue Le.
Long Yiwei also sent this information back to Kaifeng, from which Gu Junen, president of the Military Academy, judged the Qing army's intention to use troops:
"Chief Rui sent 100,000 troops to attack the three cities of Anyang, Kaizhou, and Huixian. The southernmost point of the army was only a few dozen miles away from the Yellow River. However, the Qin army looted the three prefectures of Zhangde, Daming, and Weihui.
, it seems that the food and grass problem has become serious enough that there is no need to delay.
According to the intelligence sent back by Liu Tichun on the front line, Dorgon specifically ordered Bohetuo, Nikan and other generals to lead their troops to plunder places, and also sent light cavalry southward in an attempt to rob our army's grain and grass in Huaiqing and Yanjin.
Under this situation, the Donglu troops invaded Dongchang Mansion with more than ten thousand troops, and seemed to be cooperating with Azige on the eastern front to shift the main battlefield from the middle section of the Yellow River to Shandong territory."
Gu Junen added:
"Shandong has also been destroyed by the Eastern Han Dynasty for a long time, and there is not much local food storage. But the Grand Canal connects the north and the south. According to Guo Sheng, the governor of Shandong Province, the section of the canal from Yanzhou to Xuzhou has gradually been unblocked and thawed. The Grand Canal runs north and south.
After the ice thaws, it will not hinder the Qing army's southern expedition. Instead, the Qing army can use the canal to supply supplies and facilitate their march.
The most critical thing is that the Grand Canal connects the north and the south. The south of the Yangtze River and our country are neither friends nor enemies. If the Hongguang monarch and his ministers, based on the theory of distant friendship and close attack, and uniting with the captives to defeat the bandits, unite with the Qing army through the canal, then they will have a lot of gold in their hands.
The Rui Chief with silver wealth can not only buy grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River through the canal, but also join forces with Wu soldiers to besiege our country."
Gu Junen's opinion is that Dorgon sent a partial force of Boluo, Mandahai, and Yue Le to suddenly attack Dongchang Prefecture, apparently to test whether the canal can be re-opened.
From a strategic perspective, although the Qing army has made some progress in Hebei, due to the fierce resistance of the Dashun defenders, the Qing army's southern offensive did not go as smoothly as Dorgon imagined.
The time when the Yellow River is frozen will slowly pass, and there is not much window time left for Dorgon. If the Qing army cannot make a decisive breakthrough in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, then Dorgon can only consider switching the main battlefield to the canal line
.
"I congratulate Your Highness. The victory in Liaocheng is not only a victory for one city, but also breaks Dorgon's attempt to switch the main battlefield to the canal line."
Gu Junen's face flushed. He was equally excited about this great victory achieved by Ren Jirong, Ma Bao and Dang Shousu:
"Although Ajig has tens of thousands of troops in Jinan, Shandong is a key defensive area of our country. Gu Jinglue, Guo Jiedu, and Xu Zhaoping all perform their duties. Rebels are swarming in all directions, and Ajig is unable to move even an inch.
Therefore, the Qing army did not choose Shandong as its main battlefield.
Now that Dorgon had achieved a certain victory in Hebei, he was free to use a partial force to surprise Dongchang Prefecture in an attempt to open up the Shandong battlefield from the flank.
If the Qing army were victorious in the Battle of Liaocheng, Dorgon's 100,000-strong army that was besieging southern Hebei would surely take advantage of the remaining power of the victory in the Battle of Liaocheng to move from southern Hebei into the Lu region and sweep across Xu.
But now, our army has won in Liaocheng and is chasing the enemy to the north. There is no chance to take advantage of it. The Qing army's sneak attack failed, and our army is on guard again. Dorgon has lost his chance to fight, so it seems that he can only fight me in Hebei.
"
The staff officers of the Military Academy were also excited about this hearty victory. The sound of pages and maps being turned up quickly could be heard everywhere in the room. The staff officers wrote quickly, describing the small-scale victory in the Battle of Liaocheng.
The global changes caused are deduced one by one.
In the Battle of Liaocheng, although the Shun Army paid the price of one division being maimed, it still achieved the result of annihilating hundreds of elite soldiers from the Qing Army guard camp and thousands of remaining Han soldiers. The casualties on both sides were actually equal. The Shun Army finally gained the victory.
They had control of the battlefield and gathered far more wounded soldiers than the Qing army, so the actual results were more brilliant than the numbers.
Li Laiheng had already discussed with Fang Yiren, the Minister of Peace, Song Qijiao, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Xie Zheng, the president of the Wenyuyuan, on how to reward the generals who had made meritorious service in Shandong.
The scale of this victory was not large, but it had a great inspiring effect on people's hearts. After Li Zicheng's sacrifice in the Huolu War, the Jiyang Rebellion and the Tianniu Incident happened one after another. The Dashun Army also suffered from internal rebellion and turmoil.
Before even fighting the main force of the Qing army, they had already suffered heavy losses, and their morale and morale were inevitably greatly damaged.
Before the Battle of Liaocheng, Cizhou and Daming fell quickly. Even the officers and soldiers of the Dashun Army were all elite troops who had followed the old man Li Zicheng, the emperor Li Guo, and the king of the Jin Dynasty Li Laiheng. They had fought all over the world for several years.
Donglu always has perseverance and confidence.
But what about the gentry? What about the ordinary people?
With the Dashun Army's successive defeats, can they have firm confidence in the future of the Dashun Dynasty?
For example, during the Battle of Liaocheng, Fu Yijian, the leader of the gentry who had gained a certain status within the Dashun system, was almost ready to surrender to the Qing army.
Fu Yijian's performance was pretty good. In Shanxi, Cizhou and Daming, and Jinan, even though the Qing army had issued a hair-cutting order and lost both the people's support and the "gentry's heart", there were still many people who were particularly hostile to the Dashun regime.
The reactionary gentry raised armed troops to cause chaos and welcome the captive soldiers.
This is nothing more than the victory of the Qing army in killing Li Zicheng in the Battle of Huolu, which re-created a false halo for the myth of the Donglu invincibility.
The great victory in Liaocheng has undoubtedly shattered the myth and aura of the Qing army's invincibility.
Even with the defeat in the Battle of Huolu, the Dashun Army had more victories in Dangshan, Baigouhe, Shenzhou and Liaocheng. Even if Manchuria was full of tens of thousands, there was no absolute certainty in defeating the so-called "remnants of Chuang Ni".
The dawn of victory seems to have arrived.
Under the advice of Gu Junen and the Military Academy, Li Laiheng gradually felt that the fighter plane was mature:
"When the opportunity for war is ripe, a lone general will take charge of one hundred thousand elite troops in Daliang, and join forces with Dorgon to hunt the Yellow River!"
