- Chapter 527: Unification War 1 (Second update)
The Chinese Empire did land in Tianjin, but Xiao Mingqian never expected to quickly capture Beijing through here. . . com¡¶¡·%Íø
After all, the current Beijing is not the Beijing of the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign in history. The foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule has not completely collapsed, and many ministers and generals are still determined to fight for the capital. At the same time, with hundreds of thousands of troops and the Shenji Battalion equipped with breech-loading guns, it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to quickly occupy Beijing. Xiao Mingqian's intention in making this arrangement was only to disrupt Ming's troop deployment.
The forces of the Chinese Empire are now mainly concentrated in the northeast and south, so only 40,000 troops participated in the landing. Under the surprised eyes of the people of Tianjin, they quickly occupied Dagukou and quickly advanced towards Tianjin.
However, in Tianjin, they encountered strong resistance. The 40,000-strong Ming Dynasty Shenji Battalion armed with breech-loaded flintlock muskets and the 60,000-strong army led by Luo Yiguan blocked the Chinese Empire's army in Tianjin for six days.
In these six days, in addition to the Shenji Camp, nearly seven troops were organized by high-ranking families near Beijing and Tianjin. Nearly 100,000 people harassed the landing Chinese Empire troops from all directions, causing them to In the middle, it is difficult to move forward.
"Damn it, when Huang Taiji attacked, I never saw them being so active!"
Many generals of the 11th Field Division, the Volunteer Army, who participated in this landing operation, were extremely unhappy with this phenomenon.
After more than two years of training, the 11th Field Division can proudly declare itself a field division.
But what makes them feel uncomfortable is that after they landed in Tianjin, it seemed that the entire Tianjin people were having trouble with them.
When Huang Taiji came, I didn¡¯t see you working so hard. Now that we are here, we have launched a nationwide resistance! No wonder Wang Tiantian complained.
In fact, the reason for this situation is entirely due to the tricks the Chinese Empire did in the three southeastern provinces.
For those high-ranking families, the Ming Dynasty could be the king, and Xiao Mingqian could be the emperor, but if they wanted to divide their land, that would not work.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the Jurchens to rule is not unacceptable, but to divide their land, then the saints will not be able to come.
The Chinese Empire made it clear from the beginning that it wanted to change the feudal system, so that all high-ranking families had an extremely determined attitude of resistance to the Chinese Empire.
What's more, the current situation is different from when the Manchus entered the customs. The Chinese Empire attacked from the north and south at the same time, making many people have no idea of ????escape. Since there is no way out, we might as well organize our troops and stand up to resist.
Before deciding to capture the three southeastern provinces, Tang Hongsheng and others warned Xiao Mingqian, but Xiao Mingqian's attitude was very determined.
The Ming Dynasty¡¯s system must be changed. If no changes are made, why did he have to wait for so long? He could have taken control of the Central Plains directly when he had solved the Dutch.
But no one knows what will be left in this way, and the new culture that we have finally established may be brought into the ditch.
It is not that such things have never happened in history. The Russian Romanov dynasty carried out large-scale industrial changes during the reign of Peter the Great. It was because Peter the Great made concessions to the domestic feudal aristocratic forces that although Russia became It has become a powerful country, but it has always been a third-rate industrial country entangled in various problems.
Now that the Chinese Empire definitely has the strength to eliminate these things, why would Xiao Ming keep these things and let him come back after his death?
Tianjin City was finally captured. The 40,000-strong Chinese Empire army captured Tianjin City on the seventh day after landing, but they also lost the motivation to continue advancing, because as long as they attacked, Tianjin City would change hands again.
However, the strategic intention of this action was also achieved. Yang Guo's army withdrew from the Shanxi line, allowing the 100,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry gathered in the north of Shanxi to march straight in. In just twenty days, all areas north of Taiyuan, Shanxi were occupied.
Shanxi is different from places like Beijing and Tianjin. Except for a few people who live in big cities and have escaped the looting of the peasant army, most of them have disappeared.
Therefore, although the local Ming army caused some casualties to the Chinese Empire's army during the army's march south and delayed the attack speed of the army, these can only be regarded as minor troubles.
However, these minor troubles disappeared in a short time after officials sent by the Chinese imperial government went deep into Shanxi to carry out land reform.
Although there are already?There was some psychological preparation, but the speed of the Chinese Empire's army still surprised the Ming court. No one expected that Taiyuan would be captured within twenty days.
And after occupying Taiyuan, the Chinese Empire divided its forces into three groups: nearly 40,000 people marched westward to attack Shaanxi, 60,000 men marched toward southern Shanxi and Henan, and finally 100,000 men marched toward Beijing.
However, there is one thing that makes the Ming Dynasty a little bit happy, that is, Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, Lao Huihui and others finally spread in Shaanxi again after Yang Guo withdrew his troops. And after the Chinese Empire occupied Taiyuan, they fought with the Chinese Empire's army.
"King Chuang, what kind of thing is this Chinese Empire? It's yelling at us to surrender!"
Looking at the more than 30,000 Chinese Empire troops waiting in formation on the opposite side, Liu Zongmin shouted angrily.
In his opinion, even if the Ming Dynasty army had to deal with an army of up to 300,000 people, it would have to be around 100,000. However, this sudden appearance of the Chinese Empire's army actually relied on more than 30,000 troops. People dare to challenge their side and even order their side to surrender. This made the peasant army general who was used to being arrogant extremely angry.
At this time, Li Zicheng had not yet received the assistance of literati such as Niu Jinxing, and his understanding of the Chinese Empire was only superficial, so they did not think that the more than 30,000 troops in front of them could compete with the more than 300,000 troops on their side.
¡°Moreover, the peasant army at this time was actually just some bandits, and they didn¡¯t even have the most basic political program. It was only after Li Zicheng received the assistance of some literati that he gained some semblance of political power.
What Li Zicheng and the others didn't know was that opposite them, Shi Long and Feng Xuejun were also looking at the more than 300,000 peasant troops in front of them with contempt.
In their impression, even the North Korean army must at least look like an army, but the peasant army in front of them cannot be regarded as an army at all, they are just a group of farmers fighting in groups with hoes.
In this army, you can even see gray-haired old men who look to be in their sixties or seventies, and even a few children who at first glance look like they are only eleven or twelve years old.
As for equipment, let alone armor, many people don¡¯t even have weapons and go to the battlefield with bare hands. Shi Long and Feng Xuejun didn't understand why the Ming Dynasty could never wipe out such an army.
How do they know that at this time, it is not that Ming Dynasty cannot destroy these peasant armies, but that Ming Dynasty's energy has always been diverted too much by external threats.
When Hou Jin still existed, Liaodong had hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers, which cost nearly two million silver taels every year. Now Hou Jin is gone, but the later Chinese Empire became even more powerful, forcing Ming Dynasty to maintain huge armies in both the north and south directions at the same time.
Coupled with natural disasters, it is natural that after the rebellion in Shaanxi is suppressed, it will not take long for it to rise again.
This is not a question of the military's combat effectiveness at all, but that the people can no longer survive. If they don't resist, they will starve to death. It is better to stand up and rebel, and maybe there is a way to survive.
"What should we do? Do we really want to take action against these old and weak people?"
Shi Long turned to look at Feng Xuejun and said with some unbearability.
"Then what can we do! They are our enemies now. We can't just let them kill them just because they are old and weak. However, we have to kill them, but we can kill them less. It depends on your cavalry. "
Feng Xuejun also looked helpless. Facing such an opponent, he was worried that his men would not be able to take action because they couldn't bear it.
"You mean to let our First Cavalry Division charge directly towards their central army. But it is not that easy to break through these more than 300,000 people. Without speed, the cavalry is not as good as the infantry!"
Looking at the secretly numb wall of people, Shilong¡¯s scalp felt numb. He estimated that if these peasant soldiers resisted desperately, the two divisions of cavalry would probably be torn alive by them if they rushed in.
"Use grenades. We will give all the grenades to your cavalry division. When you charge, as long as you keep throwing grenades to the left and right, I think these farmers will be scared and dare not approach."
Although the killing effect of grenades is good, if the number is insufficient, it will not kill many people. On the contrary, these farmers who have never seen grenades will be frightened and even collapse.
"I hope! If not, I can only hope that your Second Field Division can pull us out." Shi Long said helplessly.
When Shi Long and Feng Xuejun were discussing how to deal with the peasant army, Li Zicheng also made a decision. He sent Liu Zongmin to lead 60,000 people to launch an attack on Shi Long and the others.charge.
Seeing this situation, Shi Long and Feng Xuejun were not surprised but overjoyed. As long as these 60,000 people were defeated, it would definitely be a great shock to the other peasant armies. If the cavalry division was allowed to launch a charge, they would be more likely to collapse. .
Their wish came true. In order to act as a deterrent, Shi Long and Feng Xuejun ordered their subordinates to use full firepower to knock out the opponent's courage at once. Therefore, when the 60,000 peasant army was still 200 meters away from their enemies, they suffered a barrage like a torrential rain. In just a few seconds, the 60,000 peasant army suffered thousands of casualties.
The impact of such a result is self-evident. Its effect completely exceeded the expectations of Shi Long and Feng Xuejun. When Shi Long and the others just charged, the 300,000-strong army collapsed completely in a very short period of time. scattered. But Li Zicheng and the others could not escape this time. Li Zicheng was killed and Liu Zongmin was captured.
