Chapter 326 Qingzhou Eleven

After Yang Yufan, Zhao Shenkuan, Qin Shangxing, and Zhang Guang explained how to fight against the slaves and gentry in Qingzhou, they handed over the method of making bombs to the three.

Yang Yufan said to the three of them: "Although I can distribute the armor and ordnance in Qingzhou City to you, it is okay for you to rely on these armor and ordnance to attack the manors of the squires. It's still far away, war is not a village brawl, as long as you have a little bit of martial arts, you can run rampant in the village.

Combat is about discipline and organization. If there is no discipline and organization, it is just a mob. Although there are tens of thousands of people, but when you really go to the battlefield, you will find that only a few people around you are reliable, and others may not be willing. I will live and die with you.Then even if the enemy army is only a few dozen, it is enough to defeat you.

Therefore, you should not easily gather tens of thousands of people to fight. Each county selects tens or hundreds of capable people. Apart from training and fighting, these people do not need to pay attention to other things.If there is nothing to do, they will suppress the village, and if there is something to do, they will contact the armed forces of the counties to cooperate in the battle. As for the others, they will only be used as manpower for news transmission and material handling.

Of course, if Jiannu sent troops to encircle and suppress you, it is impossible for you not to fight Jiannu.At this time, firecrackers and bombs are the best weapons.I'm afraid you won't be able to make the firecrackers, but I will send you some in batches when I go back.And this bomb is relatively simple. You can use pig iron or stone, as long as you put gunpowder in it...

There are few Jiannu people. If you divide your troops to encircle and suppress, you will run away after bombing everywhere. Even if one or two people are injured at a time, after the accumulation of small numbers, Jiannu will be exhausted.When Jiannu refuses to divide the troops and instead sends troops and militias to encircle and suppress them, you can gather together and annihilate one or two groups of troops, and Jiannu's strategy of encircling and suppressing will be shattered. "

The long conversation between Zhao Shenkuan, Qin Shangxing, Zhang Guang and Yang Yufan also opened up a new world. In the past, they only wanted to guard their hometown and be local households, and they never thought about defending their status by annihilating the invading army.Because they knew in their hearts that they could not defeat the imperial court, so gathering people to practice martial arts was nothing more than threatening magistrates with corruption.

And after Yang Yufan talked about so many strategies against the government, the three of them suddenly became enlightened.When the three of them walked out of the apse, their faces were all red, and they were very optimistic about their future.In addition, the local tyrants around the three of them were inexplicably excited, thinking that when they could also get the official position in the Marshal's Mansion like the three of them.

On the other hand, after Yang Yufan entertained the local tyrants for three rounds of wine, he found an excuse to leave the table, and asked Ma Dai to continue entertaining the local tyrants instead, while he quietly went to the Qisong Garden in the northeast corner of the palace.After Wang Aoyong was captured and killed, Qisong Garden was temporarily closed, but it was opened again tonight.

A dozen Qingzhou gentry headed by Feng Shiheng were sitting quietly waiting in the lobby. Accompanied by several personal guards, Yang Yufan walked into the lobby and sat down. Then he put down his teacup and looked at the gentry in the hall and said casually: "Members, our army's mission in Qingzhou has ended, and we will leave Qingzhou City soon, and the affairs of Qingzhou will be handed over to you. I don't know if any MPs have any questions?"

Of course there are problems. Although some councilors dare not speak out, there are also gentry who sincerely want to oppose the establishment of slavery and feel dissatisfied with Yang Yufan's behavior. After regaining Qingzhou City, you should be the guardian of the country. The slaves have not come yet, so you want to run away? Is this how Yang Zongbing served the country? If Yang Zongbing leaves, who will guard Qingzhou City? How should the tens of thousands of people in Qingzhou deal with themselves?"

Seeing that someone took the lead, other gentry present also expressed their dissatisfaction. A gentry surnamed He even complained loudly: "Since Zongbing Yang doesn't want to guard Qingzhou City, why do we have to vote to execute the officials appointed by the Manchus?" ? Didn’t you screw us all up?”

Yang Yufan didn't get angry, just sat there silently watching everyone's performance.Finally, Feng Shiheng, who had been silent all this time, stopped the crowd, then looked at Yang Yufan and asked calmly: "Since Zongbing Yang doesn't want to defend Qingzhou City, and is willing to tell us in advance, I think Zongbing Yang will always point out a way out for us." That's right. Everyone, calm down and listen to what Zongbing Yang said."

Watching the gentry in the lobby sit down one by one, looking at him with displeasure, Yang Yufan said calmly: "Since Mr. Feng has spoken, I will give you an idea.

Indeed, when we leave, Jiannu's army will definitely come to retaliate against the people of Qingzhou.So we can cooperate with you to play a play. This Qingzhou city was taken back by you. The gentry and common people in the Qing city revolted, wiped out the thieves and civilians in the city, and took back the corpses of those Manchus.

I believe that with this credit, even if Jiannu returns to Qingzhou City, he will not be able to attack the people in the city. "

Feng Shiheng and the few gentry around him looked at each other, and they were moved by Yang Yufan's plan, but they still asked Yang Yufan: "But the Manchus are not fools, since there are thieves in the city, we always have to Hand over people, we can't take back Qingzhou City, but no one was injured in the city, right? Such a lie can be exposed with a little interrogation by the people."

Yang Yufan's face remained unchanged. He glanced at the gentry in the hall, and they all lowered their heads. Then he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Actually, everyone knows very well that the thieves in this city are Which ones are they. But since you must tell me, I should just be a villain once. When the council voted to execute the officials appointed by the Manchurians, didn’t some members abstain from voting? These people naturally It is the candidate for the thief."

After Yang Yufan finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, no one voiced support, but no one stood up to object either.Seeing that no one answered his words, Yang Yufan sneered and said: "If you are not willing to express your opinion, then you can be the official and say nothing. Anyway, it is you who are going to face Jiannu next, not the official. "

Seeing Yang Yufan sitting up and getting up and wanting to leave, Feng Shiheng had no choice but to stop him and said: "Mr. It’s not that I want to be loyal to the Manchurians, but I just don’t want to offend people. Is it too much to be treated like this just because I voted to abstain? I’m afraid the Marshal’s Mansion would not be able to issue such an order, right?”

Yang Yufan stood there and didn't sit down. He looked around at the people in the hall and then pressed the saber on his waist and said decisively: "In "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Empress Dowager Lu", Zhou Bo gave orders to all the troops: for Lu's right-handedness, for Liu's Left sided. I have given them a chance to choose before, and they have lost their chance to survive, so there is nothing to complain about.

Today is the battle between Yi and Xia, not a change of surname in Jiangshan.Since you are enshrined by the Chinese people for generations, since you cannot die in the country, you should not betray the country and seek glory.Enjoying the sacrifices of the Chinese people, but the foreign enemies invade and put the family protection first, so it is right to return the blood and food offered by the people.There is no room for abstention between China and the barbarians, either to the right, or to the left, or cut off the head. "

Feng Shiheng remained silent, and the people around him also lowered their heads, not daring to meet Yang Yufan's gaze.After a long time, a gentleman asked: "If you want to do it, who will do it? Can the general restrain the soldiers so that the innocent are not hurt?"

Yang Yufan sneered again and said: "Others do it, how can we prevent some of you from surrendering to Jiannu? Of course you have to do it yourself, and each family must send people to participate. This is called one prosperity, one loss, one loss. Only when everyone makes a move, no one will inform Jiannu, right?

I don't care about the ownership of the mansions of these families afterwards, but we will take half of the floating wealth of these families, and the fields of their families should be distributed to the rebels.In addition, each family has lent some money and food, as a practical action for you to support the Marshal's Mansion.If someone wants to go back on his word after Jiannu came, I will disclose the money and food he lent, so that everyone has a guarantee. "

Yang Yufan hacked Feng Shiheng and other Qingzhou gentry unconscious.The two parties had been negotiating until late at night before they barely reached a conclusion.Prepare to act tomorrow night, and each family also resigned to their fate and wrote down the amount of money and grain to be loaned to Yang Yufan.

At noon on December 12th, the cannons of Kong Youde finally blasted open the northeast corner of Anqiu City. Amidst the cheers of the Qing army outside the city, two troops, Line Guoan and Sun Long, rushed into the area about five or six feet wide. the gap.Yang Yuzhuang, the general defending the city, and Zhang Shouzhong, the deputy commander in chief, led the remnant soldiers across the Wenhe River from the south gate and fled into Nanshan.

However, although Kong Youde's troops captured Anqiu City, they did not gain anything in the city, because the people in the city had already been transferred out.And the storage in the warehouses in the city was also set on fire by the retreating Shun army, and Kong Youde's army only took down an empty city.

The officers and soldiers of the Confucian Ministry were very dissatisfied with this. After fighting for more than half a month, they lost thousands of casualties but could not get any property or women. This was obviously far from what they had imagined before the war.Some officers and soldiers began to complain, thinking that they were too lenient to those cities that voluntarily surrendered. If they had known that there was nothing to grab in Anqiu City, they should have grabbed a handful of those cities first.

Kong Youde, who accompanied the two Manchu overseers Li Shitai and E Mengge into the city, although he heard the dissatisfaction of the soldiers on the side of the road, he could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and just sent a message to the two overseers beside him. Said: "After capturing Anqiu City, we can attack Zhucheng in the south and cut off Gaomi's retreat; in the east, we can attack Gaomi together with Geng Zhongming and Dong Xueli. There's room."

E Mengge was quite frank. When he heard Kong Youde claiming credit for himself, he said bluntly: "My lord, it may be too early to celebrate now. I heard that King Huaishun and Dong Zongbing have no spare energy to attack Gaomi now, because Jiaozhou Gao Jie's troops are becoming more and more active, even if we take down Anqiu, we probably won't be able to go south and attack Zhucheng by ourselves, right?"

An embarrassing expression appeared on Kong Youde's face. He was still not used to Manchu's frank character.This kind of mutual flattery after the war is not a tacit understanding between you and me.Although they are supervising the army, they also have a share in the victory. Why are they in such a hurry to tear down the stage?

Chapter 327 Qingzhou Twelve

Li Shutai on the side saw Kong Youde's embarrassment, so he gave him a step down, "The prince is old in the army, and he is not aimless. If Zhucheng is taken by us, the thieves such as Gaomi and Jiaozhou will lose contact with Huai'an." Although there is a sea channel between Jiaozhou and Haizhou, the sea traffic is greatly affected by the weather, so it is not so safe. If the Jiaodong bandits know that Zhucheng has fallen, it is impossible not to feel fear, then the next battle It's easy to fight."

Seeing Li Sutai softening his cheeks for Kong Youde, Ermengge just smiled and stopped talking.Li Sutai is the second son of Li Yongfang, and he is deeply loved by Nurhachi. Even his current name was given by Nurhachi, and he was assigned to the daughter of the clan. Therefore, Li Sutai actually has a good relationship with Nurhachi's sons. Those ordinary Aixinjueluo are even more valuable.

Li Sutai's words made Kong Youde feel very comfortable, so he followed this step and changed the topic.However, Kong Youde was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface. If it was said how much he was valued when he defected to Huang Taiji, then how embarrassing his position in the Manchu system is now.

When Huang Taiji made him the King of Gongshun, he was very proud at first, thinking that he could sit on an equal footing with Huang Taiji, and after defeating the Ming Dynasty, he could truly seal the territory and become a real vassal king.

But later he discovered that Huang Taiji was just fooling him by making him king. After he taught the Manchus the technology of pouring and using cannons, Huang Taiji put him aside.Although he used his army to go out, he was not allowed to recruit the Han people in Liaodong, which meant that he was forbidden to expand his power.

After the Eight Banners of Manchuria had the ability to cast cannons and a large number of cannons, Kong Youde's army became an ordinary military force in the Houjin Kingdom, and after ten years of domestication, many of Kong Youde's subordinates have already agreed. In the Kingdom of Houjin, he, the obedient king, can only be truly obedient.

That is to say, Huang Taiji died in time, otherwise Kong Youde suspected that Huang Taiji would digest and absorb them, the Han soldiers who were outside the Eight Banners military system, in the next step.After the regent of the Nine Kings who worshiped Manchuria first, they interrupted the expansion of the Eight Banners and were eager to enter the customs. This gave them, the Dongjiang Army, a chance to expand.

But at this time, Kong Youde lost the courage to be equal to Huang Taiji ten years ago. After all, he was already over 40, and the Qing Dynasty seemed to be in full swing. He easily occupied Beijing and won the support of hundreds of thousands of Ming officials. Allegiance, so continuing to be a stable prince within the Qing system seems to be easier than starting a new one.

Of course, if he wanted to make a living under the Manchus, he had to endure the cynicism of these Manchu nobles.After all, in the eyes of the Manchus, Huang Taiji gave them too much preferential treatment to those Han people who had nowhere to go. It was too annoying for two Han people to get the prince who was not obtained by the heroes who followed the founding of the Taizu. up.

While the three were patrolling the city, Kong Youde's personal guards suddenly brought a messenger, and then brought bad news to Kong Youde. was also breached.

Kong Youde felt that the news was like an untrue rumor, not only he thought so, but E Mengge also thought so, he grabbed the messenger by the collar and asked loudly: "Do you know what you are talking about? Lies about military intelligence will result in death.”

It's just that although the messenger was trembling with fright, he repeated the news he brought again, but there was still nothing wrong.Li Sutai was also incredulous, because Qingzhou City was so fortified that Abatai's army did not capture it, so how did the Shun army capture Qingzhou.If the Shun army was an army stronger than the army led by Abatai that day, how did they run to the city of Qingzhou?

Although they still had all sorts of doubts, the three of them reacted. For the time being, it is impossible for them to cross the Wen River and pursue them.They need to put the troops on the defensive, and then figure out the situation in the rear first.Li Shuitai took the initiative to invite Ying, and returned to Qingzhou with an army.

On December 12, the Duoduo camp located in the lower courtyard of Yuncui Mountain in Dong'e County also received news of the fall of Qingzhou. The information obtained by Duoduo was obviously more detailed than that of Kong Youde and others, because he got the information obtained by the spies. Looking at the notice issued by Yang Yufan, Duduo remained silent for a long time, looking at the notice in front of him announcing the executed Manchu officials and the list of Manchu traitors.

This made the officers and generals of the general standing below very nervous, because just two days ago, there was bad news from Boluo and Ashan that Kadahun and Hetuo lost the battle at Qiaoling because they underestimated the enemy. Now that Qingzhou has lost so many Manchu and Han officials, no one knows how to deal with the temperamental ten kings.

Du Nuwen, Duke of Zhen, seemed a little unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and was about to come forward to say something, but was pulled back by his elder brother Du Erhu.Under the warning of his elder brother's eyes, he finally lowered his head again.

Du Erhu withdrew his warning eyes to his fourth brother, and returned to his calm expression.As the descendants of Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhachi, their family has always been the object of vigilance by the four major Baylors.Before that, he followed Huang Taiji to the expedition and made meritorious service in besieging Songshan and Jinzhou.However, Huang Taiji was afraid of him, and finding fault with him and his younger brothers reduced him and his younger brothers to dukes of the state of the town, which in essence deprived them of the right to participate in the Eight Banners' governance.

With the death of their father, Doro Anping Beledudu, all the political property left by Chu Ying was exhausted.But even so, when Huang Taiji passed away, other people did not let them go. Jiala Ezhen Baishan and others suddenly came out to accuse him of grievances, so they abolished the title and deposed the clan.He was completely excluded from the succession to the Khan throne.

Although he is not yet 30, Du Erhu is already mature like an old man in his twilight, because he can understand that the rest of Aixinjueluo's family don't want to see Chu Ying's descendants perform outstandingly. Just live quietly.For example, if they follow Duduo to the battle this time, if their brothers don't do anything, they can still share some of the credit. If they want to show off, then wait for another beating.

Duoduo, who was sitting behind a thick wooden table, finally raised his head. Unlike the thin Nine Kings, Duduo looked very similar to Nurhachi, both of which had a hulking figure.And Doduo's archery skills can also be ranked among the top few in the clan. It is said that it is almost the same as his elder brother Azig, but unlike Azig, Doduo doesn't like to show off his archery skills in front of outsiders.

But everyone knew that although Azig had a bad temper, he didn't dare to kill people at will, but the ten kings really dared to kill people.This person refers to the Manchurians, not those Han Chinese.Therefore, in front of the ten kings, everyone should be more respectful than the irritable Azig, because they are really afraid.

Duoduo raised his head and glanced at the people standing on both sides, he didn't talk about Qingzhou, but asked Han Dai, Minister of the Ministry of War who presided over the daily affairs of the camp: "What's the matter with Hetuo, Shangshan, and Baiyintu? Why haven't you broken through the front line of Wenshang City and Horseshoe Lake?"

Han Dai could only report cautiously: "It's not that Hetuo, Shangshan, and Baiyintu delayed military affairs. It's actually that the Shun army built a large number of buildings along the Mashoe Lake to Wenshang City about sixty to seventy miles away. Fortress, our army repeatedly attacked, but still failed to open a gap.

After wanting to bypass the Dawen River defense line and go deep into the Shunjun side, the east is subject to the two cities of Ningyang and Yanzhou, and the west is blocked by the two cities of Jiaxiang, Jining and Shushan Lake.And after the Shun Army was able to rely on the Dawen River defense line to attack our army's side, our army had to place the main force in the front to prevent the Shun Army from counterattacking our army's rear..."

Duoduo interrupted the other party impatiently and asked: "How strong is the fort built by the Shun Army, that even the artillery has lost its effectiveness?"

Han Dai recalled the battle report sent in front, and then he organized his words and said: "The fortress of the Shun army is actually not as strong as the fortress of the Ming army outside the pass, but the design is very ingenious."

Duoduo finally raised some interest and asked: "How on earth is the Shun army's fort built? Can it block the red cannon?"

Han Dai recalled, "It's not so much that the Shunjun's fortress blocked the red cannons, but it's more difficult for our red cannons to hit the walls of the Shunjun fortress.

The Shunjun forts were not built very high, but they built gentle slopes and a moat in front of the forts, so that our cannons often flew over the forts as soon as they fired, because the forts of the Shun army were very compact and small. The larger one only accommodates 50 people, and the larger one only accommodates 200 people, so the area of ​​the fortress is not large. It is almost impossible for the shells to fly over the fortress to land inside the fortress, but to go directly over the fortress.

According to Liu Zhiyuan, at least six or seven of the ten shells were fired, and although the remaining three or four shells could hit the outside of the fort, they were not on the outer wall of the fort, but on the earthen wall under the outer wall. , almost all the force of the shells was absorbed by the thick soil, and the outer walls of the fort suffered little damage.Therefore, although the power of the red cannon has not weakened, it cannot exert its own strength if it cannot hit. "

Duoduo closed his eyes and pictured in his mind the effect of the shelling that Han Dai said, and he roughly understood the problem, but he continued to ask: "Then why don't you get on the shield car? For this kind of small fortress, use Aren't shields more convenient than cannons?"

Han Dai shook his head and said, "They used shield chariots, but the forts of the Shun Army are not square, they have edges and corners, and the distance between the forts of the Shun Army is not very far, at least half a mile between the two forts. , as many as there are, and they are scattered back and forth.

Therefore, our army pushed the shield cart forward, no matter how we advanced, the flanks would be exposed to the Shun army.Although there are no red cannons in the Shunjun Fortress, there are many small cannons weighing hundreds of catties. It is really impossible to avoid shooting the soldiers behind the shield car from the side.The Youshun army also set up many obstacles in front of and behind the fort to prevent our cavalry from directly attacking its rear.

In short, if you want to attack these small fortresses of the Shun Army, you can only rely on human lives to fill them up.But these small fortresses are actually not that troublesome to build. We build one in front, and the Shun army can build three or four in the rear.Even if the lives of those Han soldiers are worthless, sooner or later they will be terrified if they continue fighting like this..."

Chapter 328 Dodo's New Plan

It's not that Dodo doesn't want to get angry, it's just that he has received a lot of bad news recently, which made him feel exhausted for a while, and he almost lost the strength to get angry.In fact, he has more comprehensive information than Han Dai, so he understands better what the Qing Dynasty is facing now.

The smooth sailing since entering the customs has made those Han officials who surrendered applaud, thinking that the world has fallen into the hands of the Qing Dynasty, and these surrendered people can finally wash away the bad reputation of surrender, and can use "good birds choose wood and rest" to cover up I have surrendered to the history of Manchurians.

However, things in the world are not so easy.When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, most of the people in the pass were in a wait-and-see state, just as they were unwilling to resist Li Zicheng for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and they were also unwilling to resist the Qing Dynasty for the sake of Dashun.Although the Manchus entered the pass several times before, causing a large number of civilian casualties in the pass, but with the banner of helping the Ming and suppressing thieves, and the defection of a large number of gentry, the people in the Zhili area did not rise up against them.

However, when they captured the city of Beijing, the situation finally changed when the Nine Kings tried to implement Manchurian policies such as shaving their heads and enclosing land in Liaodong.Residents near the capital were terrified by these Manchurianization policies, and many places rose up to oppose the Qing rule.However, without the containment of Li Zicheng's army on the sidelines, the resistance of these people quickly subsided under the massacre of the Qing army.

It's just that inside the pass is not outside the pass, and the distribution of Han people outside the pass is very concentrated, so killing a few batches can create no man's land, forcing those separated Han to bow their heads to the Manchus.But the population density inside the pass is too high, and the city of Beijing alone is equivalent to the combined population of the Manchurian and Mongolian peoples outside the pass.

This means that it is difficult for them to create no-man's land like outside the customs, thereby cutting off the communication between the Han people.Moreover, the Eight Banners want to enclose land within the pass, not only the land, but also the population.Without these people farming for the Eight Banners, what is the use of land alone?

Compared with the fertile black soil outside the pass, the land inside the pass is much poorer. The only advantage of the enclosed land inside the pass is that the Han people on the land can become servants of the soldiers of the Eight Banners and farm for them.

The Nine Kings used the enclave to win over the soldiers at the bottom of the Eight Banners, but at the same time, it also aroused the anger of the people in the enclosed land near the capital. Ping, Daxing, Bazhou, Dong'an, Wuqing, Huixian, Tianjin and other places "thieves" "thousands" "thousands" and even "chariot hubs are close to the ground, almost assimilated outside", even the Xishan coal used by the capital is also blocked by roads Cannot be transported into the city.

Similarly, in all the places occupied by the Qing army, because food and salaries were collected to supply the army, the original good people quickly became local bandits.Under the oppression of the Qing army united with the local gentry, ordinary people either broke up and died in order to pay taxes, or they could only become bandits.

With the Qing army as a comparison, these Ming people realized that the past Ming Dynasty was not bad, because the Ming Dynasty still had face after all, and the emperor still had to hold local officials accountable when the people rose up to make trouble.But the Manchus don't like this at all, as long as you dare to make trouble, you and your family will be killed.

Under the tough posture of the Qing army, when the local army suppressed it, the people could only pay taxes honestly, but once the army left, they began to rebel.Because all the surplus food in the family has been taxed, there is no way to survive if there is no rebellion.

Under such circumstances, a large number of troops had to be dispersed in places to suppress the rebellious common people.Duoduo brought 25 troops to the south, and together with the recruitment and rebellion along the way, the number of troops exceeded 30. However, from the west of the Daqing River to Baoding, Huaiqing and other places, 7 troops were allocated. The Jiaodong Peninsula to the east of Xincheng In the area, [-] troops including Kong Youde and others were distributed, and another [-] to [-] people were responsible for the food and luggage transportation of the army, so he had [-] to [-] troops that could actually be used to fight against the Shun army.

It seems that this is already quite a large number of people, but the narrow terrain of Guannei, Jinzhou, and Liaoxi Corridor is different.The straight-line distance from Jinan to the Yellow River is more than 600 miles, and the straight-line distance from Zhengzhou to Xuzhou is more than 700 miles, which means that it takes more than half a month for the army to move from one end of the map to the other.

The distance from Shengjing to Jinzhou is only 400 miles, and except for a little place on the edge of Jinzhou, other areas are under the control of the Manchus.But in Guan, the people in almost every place are hostile to the Manchus, and even the language and customs are not similar. They can only rely on the Han gentry to suppress the rebels in these places.

Gadahun's battle at Qiaoling was actually more like a forecast, foretelling that the power of the Eight Banners had been exhausted, and the incident in Qingzhou just proved this point once again.If the Han people shift their targets from the army to the unstable local ruling system behind them, then there will be a large number of deaths of Manchu and Han officials loyal to the Qing Dynasty, which is where the Qing Dynasty is now weakest.

Although Doduo wanted to understand this point, the key to solving this dilemma was not in his hands.In fact, he can feel that there is no essential difference between the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty and the predicament encountered by his father Khan during his lifetime, that is, the Qing Dynasty could not afford to support so many troops who were out of production. To prevent the Han Chinese from rebelling.

But Father Khan did not solve the problem. This problem was finally solved by Huang Taiji. The army invaded the pass and fed the surplus army by plundering the Han people.

The current situation is that the Qing Dynasty needs to further expand its territory and feed the army by plundering the material and population of the new territory, thereby reducing the oppression of the Han people in the old territory and allowing them to survive.That's why he first asked Han Dai about the progress of the frontal battlefield. If the army continues to be blocked on the Dawen River, the resistance of the Han people everywhere will only become more and more intense.

After pondering for a long time, Duoduo asked Han Dai: "After Nikan and Tong Tulai captured Caozhou all the way, where are they fighting now? How long will it take for them to reach the Yellow River and get in touch with the Azig army?"

Han Dai sighed and said: "They are still blocked between Dingtao and Chengwu. The main reason is that there are many local bandits between Caozhou, Dingtao and Chengwu. A large number of troops had to be used to maintain the safety of the transport passages behind them. Among them, the Jiaxiang Manjiadong and Yuyuan thieves had the largest number of people, the best equipment, and their combat effectiveness surpassed other thieves.

The Shun army stationed a large number of troops in Dingtao and Chengwu, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were also screened by the thieves. The harassing behind the army, the army can only stand in the city and confront the bandits.

Nikan and Tong Tulai said in the official document submitted to the camp that if they want to open up the situation, they can only move the red cannons to the city of Dingtao, and ask them to send an army to help them guard the food road.As long as Dingtao and Chengwu are captured first, the Manjiadong and Yuyuan thieves will lose their support, and then the two thieves will be separated and defeated separately. "

Dodo got up and went to the map beside him to look at it. Although he always looked down on the military capabilities of the Han people, Dodo couldn't help but admit that many things made by the Han people were quite beneficial to the military.

After looking at the map for a while, Duoduo finally turned around and told his subordinates: "Du Nuwen, go to Zichuan and tell Boluo and Ashan to keep an army to cooperate with King Gongsun to quell the chaos in Qingzhou, and bring The rest of the army rushed to Caozhou within 25 days to assist Nikan and Tong Tulai in attacking Dingtao, Chengwu and Cao counties, and opened the passage to Guide.

Du Erhu, go to Dongping and transfer Meng Qiaofang and 20 cannons in red to the Nikan and Tong Tulai troops to help attack Dingtao, Chengwu and other cities.Han Dai, you write an official document and send it to Azig, asking him to get closer to Guide as soon as possible and join our army in attacking Guide City.As long as you win Guide, you can attack Xuzhou directly down the Yellow River.I'd like to see how much power Li Zicheng has so that he can be distracted.

Azignikan, get ready, go to the Dongping front line with me tomorrow, I want to see if the fortress of the Shun army is really invulnerable..."

Du Erhu, Du Nuwen, Han Dai, Azignikan and others all responded loudly to Duoduo's order, and then quickly acted.Seeing the others leave, Zhengmeng Gushan Ezhenfu Lakta couldn't help but said to Duoduo: "General, Yang Yufan is so arrogant and ignorant. After killing my officials of the Qing Dynasty, he issued a provocation. If If we don’t catch him as soon as possible and punish him severely, won’t we give those thieves the arrogance and hit the Chinese gentry who love our country?”

Duoduo, who was standing at the front of the map, turned his head and glanced at him. Fu Lakta lowered his head and said coldly: "What's the use of killing Yang Yufan? There will be another one, and even more.

Our opponent is Li Zicheng, not Yang Yufan. If Yang Yufan was really capable, he would not have attacked Qingzhou, but would have defeated King Sanshun's army in Anqiu and Gaomi.Now only Li Zicheng can defeat our army on the frontal battlefield. If Li Zicheng's army hadn't blocked our east and west armies in Jining and Guide, how could Yang Yufan have the opportunity to attack Qingzhou?

A tree without roots is not solid. Li Zicheng is the root of the current Han people. As long as he is cut down, others will naturally follow.If we go to war to encircle and suppress Yang Yufan, wouldn't we give Li Zicheng time.However, in three or four months, Li Zicheng has established the current defense line in Shandong and Henan. If he is given more time, the defense line in front of us will be even more difficult to break through.

If Li Zicheng is allowed to rely on Jiangnan to cultivate and live, and wait for him to regroup and go north, how long can we stay in the pass?Without the population in the pass, how can we support so many troops based on Liaodong alone?

The reason why these descended troops obey our country now is not out of loyalty to our country, but because we can feed them well.Do you think it is possible for them to follow us to Liaodong and continue fighting with the Shun army on an empty stomach? "

Fulakta apologized and retreated without a word. After he left, Dodo refocused his attention on the map in front of him, thinking about where Li Zicheng was at this time.What the hell are you doing...

Chapter 329

"...the grain distribution stations in Xuzhou, the grain distribution stations in Guide, Jining, Fengxian, and Bozhou...and the military grain stations on the front line must plan the transportation route and ensure that the front line has no less than seven days of grain. There are many grain distribution stations On the [-]th, the reserves of each warehouse in Xuzhou should not be less than [-]%.

If the amount of grain transshipped on the front line of Jiaodong is also included, then the grain transported to the front line every day is no less than 3000 shi. Except for some areas where ox carts can be used, many places need to use wheelbarrows or porters to complete the last part of the journey. transported.Therefore, there must be no mistakes in the organization of transport personnel, if there is a failure to deliver all the way, then the soldiers at the front line will have no food to eat, and this battle will not continue..."

Yuan Yuzong gave a routine lecture to the newcomers in the office of the logistics department. With the start of the war, the first to feel the pressure was not the soldiers of the Shun Army in front, but the staff officers in charge of organizing the logistics transportation in the Marshal's Mansion. .

Completely different from the civil and military transportation systems of the Ming Dynasty, the General Staff Headquarters established by the Marshal's Mansion managed the logistics and transportation of the army meticulously, which Yuan Yuzong could not have imagined in the past.The transportation system of the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning of the country, and there have been almost no major changes in the past 200 years. The biggest problem with this transportation system is that the materials lost during transportation are all counted on the people and soldiers.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, with Zhu Yuanzhang's strict military regulations, officials did not dare to reach out to the transported supplies, and most of the people selected for the transportation were local tyrants, even if they lost supplies, they could afford to pay.

But at the end of the period, officials seem to be fools if they don't make a fortune on the materials they handle, and the common people who undertake the transportation labor have become those small households.In this way, a problem easily arises. The responsible officials actually don't care whether the people below have transported the materials to the destination according to the amount. They only care about the balance of the accounts and the compensation for the people who have worked hard.

The amount of supplies received by the frontline army has nothing to do with the officials, because all the quotas are set at the beginning of the country. They just ask the people to hand over the supplies needed by the country according to the atlas, name the people to serve, and then accept them at the receiving place. It's just supplies.Therefore, if the supplies received by the front-line troops are insufficient, it is not a problem of the officials, but a rule of the ancestors.

If the army files a complaint, they will not even be able to find a person who can be responsible, because the officials of Ming Dynasty just maintain the operation of the system at the beginning of the country, and do not bear the responsibility for the errors in the operation of the system.The final responsibility is often attributed to the people and soldiers responsible for transportation. As for saying that there is no such unspoken rule, it is as normal as generals eating empty pay. Whoever raises this point will become a public enemy in the officialdom.

The General Staff Department of the Marshal's Mansion is fully responsible for the design of the transportation organization. Li Zicheng also requires that each link must be signed and handed over. If you have any questions, you should first ask the signing officials, and you will not be responsible for any loss of transportation for the people or soldiers. , unless they guard against it.
