Great time travel

Chapter 162: Nanjing!Nanjing! (continued)
However, because the Qing army was in a state of retreat after the defeat at this time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners were scattered on the entire canal, lined up from south to north, and Yangzhou, the gathering place for crossing the river, was naturally far away. It is also far and near.Among them, the two yellow flags of Huang Taiji are the southernmost and the closest to Yangzhou.The two white-flag soldiers and horses of the three Dorgon brothers walked at the back, and some were in the northernmost Shandong territory, shouldering the task of covering the entire army.The other part is stationed in Fengyang, responsible for suppressing various rogue bandits in Huaixi, and guarding the western defense line of the remaining territory of the Qing court.

If there is enough time, Huang Taiji will of course find a place to gather the whole army, and then march south in a leisurely manner.In particular, the two white flag soldiers and horses of the three Dorgon brothers must be placed in front of their eyes to be at ease.Helplessly, the military situation is as urgent as sparks, and the chance of taking control of Jiangnan is fleeting. When Emperor Chongzhen invaded Nanjing, surrendered and accepted the rebels, and the four parties knelt down, the most fertile Jiangnan land in the world would not have the Qing Dynasty's share. .

Therefore, Huang Taiji could only take the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags around him, and went south to Yangzhou at the fastest speed, preparing to cross the river, and at the same time sent orders to the whole army to come one after another.Then, before the Eight Banners soldiers and horses had arrived halfway, the Donglin Party in Nanjing could no longer hold on.In order to avoid delaying the battle opportunity, Huang Taiji, who refused to give up, gritted his teeth again, and crossed the Yangtze River himself regardless of the army's assembly, and rushed into the fighting field in Nanjing.

Next, with the continuous increase of troops and fierce battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nanjing became an unprecedented cruel mill of flesh and blood.Since the strength of the Qing army was always at an absolute disadvantage, it was extremely difficult to fight left and right on the battlefield, and it almost collapsed several times.

Huang Taiji, who originally hoped to take Jiangnan lightly, was disappointed to find that the battle of Nanjing this time was not as easy as when he broke through the Great Wall and conquered the pass in the past.In his impression, the Ming Dynasty's army, which was supposed to collapse at the touch of a button, and then let it be slaughtered like a weak chicken, became extremely difficult under the supervision of Emperor Chongzhen, and had the courage to fight endlessly with the Eight Banners warriors.And the Eight Banners Army, which once swept across the Central Plains, has also lost its standard in Jiangnan, struggling everywhere, and no longer has the invincible spirit of "Jurchen is dissatisfied and invincible".

In the past half a month, as the battle situation has repeatedly seen and seen, one after another Qing army has also continued to cross the river.Up to now, the six banners of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have all assembled outside Nanjing, but the two white banners of the three Dorgon brothers are actually stuck in the Huaibei area, and they have not gone south at all!

Of course, the two white flags also have their own explanations for this matter, such as the rogue riots, the unrest in the rear, and the advance of the Dengzhou army, etc.But what kind of a hero is Huang Taiji, how can it be impossible to see that the three Dorgon brothers are obviously rebellious and want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight in the north?

In short, for Huang Taiji, the current situation is really critical: there are stubborn enemies in the front, and internal thieves in the back!Both sides are the same as hell!

However, at this point in the battle of the Jiangnan Raiders, Huang Taiji was already on the verge of riding a tiger.Although the Eight Banners of Manchuria were severely injured during the fall of Liaodong and the mutiny in Beijing, the two white banners of the three Dorgon brothers still had 65 Manchurian soldiers, including those directly under the Han army, a total of 1 More than 100 soldiers have great strength.This military strength is even stronger than Huang Taiji's two yellow flags.Next, as the Battle of Nanjing intensified, Huang Taiji's two yellow banners were almost disabled because they were the first to enter the battlefield, and the other four banners also suffered heavy casualties.Even if the Manchurian soldiers of all six banners are added up, there are only more than [-] cattle records, and the lack of numbers is generally quite serious.

If he gave up the battle of Nanjing now, gave up so many sacrifices before, and returned to the north to fight against the three Dorgon brothers for his own power, the best result could only be to die with Huang Taiji.The worst result is that the Eight Banners rioted and supported Dorgon to abolish the emperor and usurp the throne!

Therefore, Huang Taiji had no choice but to swell his face to pretend to be a fat man, and at the same time ordered the two white flags to guard the rear of Xuzhou and Lunan, acquiescing to their sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so as to appease the three Dorgon brothers, lest the two white flags jump now came out to rebel; at the same time, he sent people to send his concubines and children to the Yanziji camp in Nanjing. This was not only to declare his intention of breaking the boat and fighting to the death, but also to prevent them from being taken hostage by Dorgon...

In the early morning of this day, Huang Taiji first ordered the whole army to have a full meal and refresh themselves, then smashed the pots and stoves, threw the remaining army rations into the Yangtze River, and burned down his own camp.Then, amidst the discussions among the generals and soldiers of the army, Huang Taiji brought his concubines and children to the officers and soldiers, and generously encouraged them, saying, "...Everyone, we have lost the power between the white mountains and the black waters." Your hometown, and the city of Nanjing, the prosperous and prosperous Jiangnan, is also your new home! If we fail, we will be reduced to homeless dogs, and we will have no place in the world! Now, we are left with only two Choice: If you win, you will become famous and enjoy wealth forever! If you lose, you will die in a foreign land with no one to bury! To show my determination, I have already brought my wives, concubines and children to the battlefield! If Changsheng Tian does not bless me to win , then the whole family would rather die in battle and have their blood cut off than endure the humiliation of being enslaved! Let's work hard together!"

Afterwards, Huang Taiji, who had always been fat and his martial arts skills were only ordinary at most, put on his armor, mounted his horse and took up his weapon, took the lead, and was the first to rush to the Ming army camp in the direction of Zhongshan!And the Manchurian soldiers also knew that there was no way out. Seeing that the Qing emperor had taken the lead in the charge, what else could they not do? !So they all fought bravely to be the first, like tens of thousands of tigers coming down the mountain, roaring and displaying [-]% of their fighting power!
On the other hand, the Ming army had just learned the sad news of the fall of Huguang and the fire in the backyard. For a while, people's hearts were floating and their morale was low.Several of the most powerful generals were discussing the next strategic plan with the emperor in the imperial camp, invisibly loosening their control over their respective troops.Especially the scout troops of the Ming army were also very lazy in the past two days, and they didn't even find out that the Qing army was about to launch a general attack.

As a result, the few miscellaneous troops of the Ming army deployed at the front barely had time to put up any resistance. They were rushed to pieces by the wolf-like cavalry of the Qing army, and collapsed immediately. The imperial camp in Nanjing City or Ming Xiaoling fled.

At this time, the Qing army on the Nanjing battlefield was only [-], while the Ming army was as many as [-]. It seems that the Ming army has the absolute upper hand.

But it should be noted that among the 2 Ming troops, there are only about [-] real soldiers, and the rest are just random troops.There were even a lot of Landlord Township Bravery Troupes who came temporarily to "accompany" them to practice. Instead of increasing their combat effectiveness, they made the Ming army's command system chaotic.Even the most elite units of the Ming army were mainly Huguang recruits temporarily recruited and trained for several months, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Qing army of the same number.In addition, the tactical command ability of the generals of the Ming army is generally inferior to that of the battle-tested generals of the Qing army.

When the reinforcements from the Qing army had not yet arrived, Huang Taiji could rely on only a few thousand people at hand, even in extremely unfavorable street battles, and rely on the rich combat experience of the Eight Banners warriors to fight against a Ming army ten times his own. The army was at a stalemate, and although it was fighting and retreating, it never collapsed.Now, because of Huang Taiji's motivating effect, the [-] Qing army has turned into a real army of tigers and wolves, and their explosive fighting power is astonishing.

Even though they attacked the mountain with less and raised their heads, these Eight Banners warriors didn't seem to know how to write the word "death" at all. Instead of being afraid, each of them cheered and shouted loudly, holding long and short weapons, facing the mountain, The rookies rushed to the Ming army who hadn't worn their shirts for a few days, and started a bloody hand-to-hand battle.Those who are tyrannical are afraid of death, not to mention these miscellaneous troops of the Ming army are far from being tyrannical. They are just a group of ordinary villagers armed with weapons. Seeing the Qing army so ferocious, they have long since lost the courage to fight. Immediately, he was beaten and retreated, trampled on each other and died countless times.

After hearing the report of the defeat on the front line, the generals of the Ming army who were meeting at Xiaoling hurried back to their respective camps, preparing to mobilize troops to face the battle.As the head coach, Lu Xiangsheng immediately summoned the servants of the Chinese Army Standard Battalion and rushed to the northern foot of Zhongshan Mountain to support him.Unexpectedly, on the mountain road leading to the battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng was overwhelmed by the spectacular scene he saw. He saw the defeated Ming army at the front. Time is like a rhinoceros, everyone is rampant, and everyone is extremely brave!
Due to the encounter on a narrow road, there was no preparation in advance, and the result was almost in the blink of an eye. Before Lu Xiangsheng had time to see the enemy's position clearly, the reinforcements he had hastily organized were overwhelmed by these routs who failed to accomplish anything but failed.Even the several Ming troops who arrived one after another were defeated all the way by this gang of bullies. Due to the narrow mountain road, these people trampled on each other and suffered heavy casualties.Several ignorant generals of the Ming army did not die under the knives of the Qing soldiers, but were trampled to death beside Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb by their own feet!
By this time, the command system of the Ming army had completely collapsed.As the shouts of the Qing army were getting closer and closer, but the reinforcements from all walks of life were delayed, and even the most trusted Lu Xiangsheng did not know where he was. The Emperor Chongzhen could not stay in Xiaoling, so he had to order to drive Yuhuatai transfer.

Unexpectedly, the transfer of Yujia couldn't stop anymore—the Eight Banners soldiers quickly identified Emperor Chongzhen's Yujia, and they chased after him all the way.Emperor Chongzhen fell to the side of the road in the chaos, bleeding profusely from his forehead, and passed out on the spot.Seeing this, the escorting guards and eunuchs immediately lost their backbone. They didn't even dare to enter Nanjing City.

At this point, with the disappearance of Emperor Chongzhen's imperial chariot from the battlefield, the [-] Ming army on the Nanjing front line completely collapsed.Among them, those surrendered troops who had originally changed their banners from the Nanjing Donglin Party court once again chose to defect and defected to the Qing army on the opposite side.And those Jiangnan landlords who came to help the battle spontaneously, looking forward to earning a piece of Conglong Gong, dispersed one after another in disappointment, returned to their hometowns, and continued to wait and see the situation.

The most unlucky ones are those nobles in Nanjing who "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright". They thought they made the right choice at the critical moment and could continue their prosperity and wealth under the banner of the orthodox emperor.Unexpectedly, they encountered such a turning point, and they all sat up in wax.Among them, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji chose to give up his mansion and property in Nanjing, and took his clan and servants to follow the imperial driver of Emperor Chongzhen.But the other nobles in Nanjing did not have the determination to break their wrists like a strong man. Most of them were reluctant to part with the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, so they continued to stay in the city in fear, waiting for the winner.

In the end, amidst the chaos of defeat, Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, was finally not trampled to death, but he was no longer able to catch any troops and could only be defeated by tens of thousands of rout troops. Wrapped, retreating back in a mess.And behind the rout, there are Qing army rangers who are constantly harassing and chasing, so that from Zhongshan to Yuhuatai to Dashengguan, dead bodies and abandoned armor can be seen everywhere.

On November 27, Lu Xiangsheng finally managed to accommodate [-] defeated soldiers, and fought again in Wuhu with the [-] Qing troops who came to pursue them.After a day of hard work, it finally failed again.When Lu Xiangsheng led his servants to attack the enemy's formation, he was killed by an arrow, and the remaining Ming army collapsed and fled immediately.

So far, Emperor Chongzhen's Eastern Expedition has been declared a complete failure.Not only failed to regain the capital Nanjing, but also lost the rear base of Huguang Province.Even the army that painstakingly recruited and trained was ruined on the Nanjing battlefield, and since then it has basically withdrawn from the stage of competing in the world.

And at the same time, in this battle, the ones that were destroyed by the smoke of war and the smoke of gunpowder were the remaining prestige of the Ming court that ruled the world for 200 years...

Since then, no one has been able to prevent the collapse of the Ming Empire, and no one has been able to put this disintegrated world back together again!

But on the other hand, the bad luck of Ming Dynasty means the good news of Qing Dynasty.When His Majesty Huang Taiji, who was soaked in blood, smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke that had not been blown away from the battlefield, and once again rode his horse into Nanjing city full of ambition, he seemed to see the renaissance and rise of the Qing Empire...

——Obviously, as the victor of the war, he never planned to return the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River to those Donglin gentlemen who lured wolves into their houses from the very beginning.

Beyond the word count: long-lost complaints!On the floating level of the US emperor!To be rich is to be willful!Five hundred million dollars to train five super soldiers? ! !
Recently, the supreme commander of the US military in the Middle East announced angrily that the US Department of Defense allocated 54 million US dollars to train 400 Syrian opposition soldiers to fight against ISIS and the Assad government forces.But in the end, only 54 soldiers were trained, and these people had just arrived in Syria to participate in the war, and they were completely wiped out by a local al-Qaeda militia, leaving only four to five soldiers.It is equivalent to spending 90.00 million dollars to train a soldier-if five people survive instead of four!Is this actually making Captain America?Are you still training Gundam pilots?Hey, it seems that the big tigers of the US military are too powerful, and their greed is too unscrupulous.[-] people shrank directly to [-] people!Eat [-]% nine empty rates!Even the Kuomintang knows that it needs to recruit strong men to make up the number!
In short, the U.S. Department of Defense has made meritorious service, and the U.S. Department of Defense has made meritorious service!Don't give ISIS any chance.They could kill themselves!Freedom fighters trained by the great America!He carried on the glorious tradition of America.Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk and Captain America are possessed by their souls at this moment. These five people represent the long history and tradition of the US military. At this moment, they are not five people fighting, they are not five people!

Well, to get down to business, there are two more reasonable explanations for this matter. The first is that the Ministry of Defense and the CIA did not communicate well. The red necks of the Ministry of Defense thought that they really needed to spend their efforts to fight terrorism. How did they know that the money was taken by the CIA? Went to arm ISIS, just got some random people to put on a show.The other is the collusion of relevant departments to deduct money from overseas funds for corruption. Anyway, Congress cannot reconcile accounts with Syrian militants.Unexpectedly, as soon as the funds are out of the Pentagon, a few zeros have already been added to the accounts of military outsourcing companies and generals.
