Beiyang new warlord

Moreover, in the local area, relying on his own mouth, he can talk nonsense, and the censor Yanguan has become an annoying character like the eunuch of the army. He knows how to point fingers, and if he doesn't understand, they still point fingers! It is also the supervisor's governor who will recite it. We are speech officials and civil officials. What does it matter to me?

Many people said that Yang Sichang was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and drove Lu Xiangsheng's cronies Yang Tinglin out of the capital in the winter to serve as the head of the Ministry of War. The army that followed Lu Xiangsheng suffered from marching. I did him a great favor, without a crow's mouth behind me, I am so happy!

But now, Hong Chengchou, who is very popular and deeply trusted by the emperor, cannot escape this move. The two black crow mouths were finally sent to Liaodong by the unbearable emperor.

Just like how Mao Jue once denounced the crimes of the imperial court to his subordinates, he often used the Liaodong battlefield as a political arena. It is kicking their political opponents here desperately, and then making trouble behind their backs. In the hearts of cronies, they have no idea that the country can't stand this kind of toss, and try their best to seek benefits for themselves.

This time, Ma Shaoyu and Zhang Ruolin, the supervisors of the army, also placed their "hope of the whole village". Now that Liaodong has received good news every day, the two of them stood out from a group of people and went to make merit. At least they will be officials when they come back. Upgrade to three levels.For such a promising figure, those colleagues from the township party who came to see him off flattered and clasped their fists, flattering him there.

"Brother Ma, Brother Zhang, in the future, you should give some advice to your colleagues!"

He really regarded himself as if he had been promoted to the third level in a row, proudly raised his neck on the horse, and Zhang Ruolin was whining and speaking in an official tone.

"Don't worry, everyone. During this trip, I and Lord Ma will definitely wipe out those bandits for the emperor! Then come back and bring us to assist the emperor together in the same year, and create peace again!"

This official hasn't become an official yet, but he wants to lead the big guy?The faces of several older officials were obviously not very good-looking, but Daming's officialdom is so realistic, most of the literati's bones are crooked, even if it doesn't appeal to their ears, they still nodded and bowed.

"Master Zhang is right!"

"I'm just waiting for my lord to win and return to court!"

Under the rush of compliments, the expressions of Zhang Ruolin, Ma Shaoyu, and the two seventh-rank officials became more and more arrogant. Do something.

This is not a good sign!

On the other side, although the empire was turning cancerous, on the Liaodong battlefield, it was a rare triumph at this time, showing the last majesty of the empire.

In terms of resources, the Qing people still couldn't compete with the Ming Dynasty. The artillery battle lasted for several months, and the Hongyi cannons on the Jianzhou Jurchen side gradually weakened, but it was the Qing army who were eager to fight.

Although he once captured the Rufeng Mountain Army Town, Hong Chengchou still ordered to retreat. His army formation was placed on the great plain under the mountain. It was more than April, and the thick snow blanket in Liaodong had already melted away, and the fertile fields There was no one to cultivate, but the frontier heavy tanks with two or three layers of thick wood covered with iron stood in front like tanks.

On the mountain, at the height of the hillside, holding high spears and sabers, mixed with Mongolian cavalry, the Qing army of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty rushed down the mountain fiercely.The Qing army's attack was urgent, and even the children of Aixinjueluo's family participated in it. At the front, there was a row of red belts. Dorgon, Duoduo, Azige, and Abatai, these clan brothers also gathered Into the shock force.

Like overwhelming mountains, the black cavalry rammed into the Ming army formation at the foot of the mountain.

It's a pity that this mountain is much harder than the mountain of Juniper Liu Ting during the Sarhu War!

The firearms unit has been reduced by more than half, replaced by a more solid spear unit, which is a bit like the Ming army in the Ming Dynasty, and the cannons do not blast iron balls up the mountain, and the muzzles of the guns are shrunk in the gaps between the heavy chariots Among them, the eerie forward comparison.At the back of the chariot, although there was still a swordsman sharpening his sword at him, but there was a thick side box blocking it. The mood of the Ming army's musketeer was obviously much calmer, his breathing was steady, and the hand holding the gun was also calm. It was extraordinarily steady, quietly aiming at the rushing Qing army.

The speed of the cavalry rushing down the mountain to launch a charge is no less than that of a small truck. In a blink of an eye, they are already in front of them, one hundred and two, 80 meters, and 60 meters. , Even if you can feel the pungent stench of war horses coming to your face, the firearms are still tightly held in your hands. Until 50 meters away, a dozen or so Mongolian cavalrymen in the front line have already crossed the white line on the ground. Only then did the hissing and furious roar sound.

"Fire~"

This is considered to be the most powerful weapon in the late Ming Dynasty. Each cannon is filled with more than ten kilograms of iron sand. Although the range is far less than the shrapnel made by Mao Jue, its lethality is also inferior to Dongjiang's most powerful weapon. On the ground, the bullets fired by those gunners were even ignored. With more than a dozen fan-shaped killing surfaces, even the knight and the horse fell to the ground screaming.

According to the records in the "Manuscripts of Qing History" of later generations, more than 5 Ming troops were killed before and after the Songjin War, but the death of the Qing army was only a few hundred. "Going up in a hurry, no more nosebleeds!" If hundreds of people were killed one after another, how could Huang Taiji be in such a hurry?

At least in this time and space, this time the artillery blast knocked down hundreds of people.

There were huge crashing sounds one after another, and the horse that rushed past the barrage but couldn't stop it slammed into the chariot hard. Amidst the sound of cracking bones, the chariot weighing hundreds of kilograms swayed and turned. The Mingjun toy was thrown out like that.

It has been recorded several times in the historical manuscripts that the captives were extremely fine! Even without horses! The embroidery army turned over fiercely, squeezed in desperately through the gap with a knife in their hands, and slashed fiercely at the Ming army's head. , In the sound of clicking, the musketeer who was caught off guard was hacked to death dozens of times.

But then, densely packed spears came over again. The Ming army under Hong Chengchou had already fought countless bloody battles with the Guannei Peng army. It was a face-to-face fight with real swords and guns. No matter how strong the Qing army was, it was not a monster with green faces and fangs. How could it be possible to be defeated at one touch as recorded in the "Drafts of Qing History"?Not only did it not collapse at the first touch, the Ming army even launched an extremely tenacious resistance around the chariot.

Puff! A red belt kicked the horse and just squeezed in fiercely, and then the spear on the chariot pierced through the chest, and he fell directly to the ground with a scream.

He is probably a bullshit. He is smarter. He didn't rush in directly. Instead, he threw bows and arrows outside and harassed him. The heavy armor-piercing arrows floated into the Ming army formation, and he could clearly hear the Ming army inside. The army screamed.

But Britain has used it for hundreds of years. It defeated its old enemy France and made great achievements in battle. The longbow was abolished in the National Movement, and it was replaced with muskets. Compared with bows and arrows, firearms naturally have their advantages. Once again, from arrows He took out an armor-piercing arrow from his bag, and skillfully drew the compound bow. When the bullhead was about to throw another shot, a Ming army bird musketeer poked his head out casually on the side of the van, and shot At that moment, the bull fell to the ground with a bang, a blood hole was opened in his chest, and thick blood flowed out.

The Qing army, waving the flag and shouting, rushed up from the chrysalis and attacked on foot and horse, but they really couldn't eat Hong Chengchou's large array of firearms full of heavy tanks. After a bloody battle for more than half an hour, they left corpses all over the ground. According to the manuscripts of the Ming Dynasty, "the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy casualties! The Qing army was defeated and almost collapsed!" They retreated to the camp of Rufeng Mountain with all their flags and drums silent.

Having learned the lessons of the previous wars, the Ming army who returned from victorious victories also had a taste of it, and did not pursue it. Standing in front of the messy car formation with a bloody sword in his hand, Wu Sangui's armor was dripping with blood. with.

"Master, we have won!"

Full of excitement, as Hong Chengchou's old subordinate, Cao Bianjiao, the general soldier of Yulin, broke into the tent excitedly, shouting loudly.

But putting down the official documents in hand, Hong Chengchou's long dark face was not excited at all, instead it was gloomy like rain

Chapter 452. Liwei

In the 20 years of the Liao Dynasty, Hong Chengchou's battle was the closest to victory. The Ming and Qing Dynasties suppressed almost all their strength outside the customs. In the back and forth, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, especially for the soldiers and peasants under the Eight Banners system. The Jianzhou Jurchen, supporting such a large force to fight at the front, does not seem to be able to plunder supplies on the spot in the Ming Dynasty. The pressure on the rear is amazing.

Even Hong Chengchou doesn’t care about Jinzhou. As long as the war continues, even if the entire army of Zu Dashou is wiped out and Jinzhou City falls, the Qing court will be greatly injured. In farming, victory is definitely on the side of Daming, which has a large number of people in the National University.

But all these hopes were made uncertain by an imperial edict issued by Emperor Chongzhen!

"Advance troops immediately!"

"Ma Shaoyu is the doctor of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Ruolin is the staple food of the staff of the Ministry of War! Go to Ningyuan to supervise the army!"

The two orders hit Hong Chengchou's heart like two big sticks, making his face gloomy. Even though the city was as deep as his, a trace of resentment still couldn't be restrained.

"Master?"

Looking at Hong Chengchou in amazement, Cao Bianjiao's excitement gradually receded, and he asked in surprise.

"Oh!"

After he woke up, he stretched out his hand and threw the official document back. Hong Chengchou looked normal again, and nodded without sadness or joy.

"It's good to win the battle! Let Wu Sangui and Wang Pu continue to shell Rufeng Mountain, and Xia Chengde's department gathers up the wounded and wrecked soldiers, and retreats back to Ningyuan tonight. This governor will reward you!"

"Thank you, Supervisor!"

Excited again, Cao Bianjiao, the young warrior of the Ming army, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed again.

Over the Ming army in Liaodong, dark clouds once again covered densely. On the other side, the country of Wa, Kyoto, and Mao Jue finally ushered in the dawn of victory.

"The army is back! You wait to bow down!"

More than a dozen banners with Wuqi Tongwen family emblems and flags in the north are riding on the pony that is unique to the Japanese country and has a well-proportioned height with the Japanese warriors! They galloped forward excitedly, roaring wildly while running, on both sides of the road, those The Japanese farmers who went to the fields were also trembling, and quickly fell to their knees in the paddy field following the sound.

The privilege of a samurai, Miao character with a knife! You can kill civilians who are disrespectful to you at will! But no one wants to lose their heads.

The gate of the Great Wall of Japan burst open! There are hundreds of flags floating in front of the ocean, and the mighty Japanese warriors behind are carrying spears and wild swords longer than themselves. step in.

At the beginning, it saved tens of thousands of taels of silver to build the Honglian Temple, but soon Guomatsu Maru made Mao Jue a mob that covered half of the Japanese kingdom, costing 190 million taels of military pay, 90 shi of military rations, and mobilizing 5000 troops. There has been great turmoil for more than a year.

But fortunately, without Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Jue himself was the supervisor and won the war. More than a dozen gangs, more than 600 leaders, warriors and their families hung hideously on the chariot and looked like Suwa of the Takeda family. In the large sedan chairs carried by Shinto priestesses and wizards in the army, there were more than 2000 captives in the army, wearing prison clothes, tied their hands and necks, and staring blankly!

This time Mao Jue was really ruthless. It is estimated that because of this turmoil, the population of Dongguo who was strangled and died following the turmoil was almost hundreds of thousands. The confrontation of the war is small.

But this also brought benefits to Dongjiang. The shogunate, or the Kanto rulers, had weakened to the point at the end of the Shogunate just a few decades ago. Within the period, Mao Jue's political system of dividing the east and the west and selecting a spokesperson will be extremely stable.

However, this turmoil was still a heavy blow to Dongjiang. Although Toyotomi Kunimatsumaru took the lead and constituted the main class of this political turmoil, it was still the scholar class who immigrated from the Ming Dynasty. This turmoil is also equal to the Ming Dynasty. The internal strife dealt a heavy blow to Mao Jue's plan to become the ruling class of the Japanese country in the future.
