September 22, the first year of Dahua (1640)
After testing each other for several rounds, Li Yan, the governor of Liaodong, and Huang Taiji, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, had roughly figured out each other's situation, and then both sides began to arrange their troops. {}{ .{ }{}
Li Yan issued the order, Wu Sangui led 13,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, Zu Dashou led 10,000 Jinzhou, 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, and the Third Army led 20,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, a total of 49,000 The army marched toward Shengjing in a mighty manner.
With such a large-scale army marching towards Shengjing, it was natural that it could not be hidden from the Manchu and Qing spies all over Liaodong. After receiving the news, Huang Taiji immediately summoned military attach¨¦s to discuss countermeasures.
In the Chongzheng Hall, Huang Taiji, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair with a majestic look. Today Huang Taiji was wearing an auspicious suit. The bright yellow silk satin is embroidered with the twelve chapters of the colorful cloud bat golden dragon auspicious robe. The dragon robe is embroidered with nine golden dragons all over the body. The positive dragon is embroidered to sit upright, looking majestic, while the walking dragon is embroidered to be extremely energetic, as if it is moving but not moving. Four dragons are embroidered on the most prominent parts of the dragon robe - the chest, back and shoulders. Four dragons are embroidered on the front and back hems, so that when viewed from the front and back, there are five dragons, which symbolizes the Nine-Five Supreme Being.
The clothes of emperors in the Qing Dynasty were basically divided into formal clothes, auspicious clothes, regular clothes, line clothes, rain clothes and casual clothes. Among them, Huang Taiji wore regular clothes on weekdays, and auspicious clothes were only worn on major festivals or important events. Today Huang Taiji went to court wearing a grand auspicious suit, which also represented the importance he attached to this meeting.
Today, almost all the military ministers have arrived, including the banner owners of the Manchu Eight Banners, the four banners of the Han Army Banner, and the banner owners of the two Mongolian Banners, as well as several academicians from Yuange. They met with Wu Sangui outside Jinzhou City. Hauge, who had fought a battle, also stood dejectedly under Huang Taiji.
???????????????????????????????????????????¡
Huang Taiji coughed twice and said angrily: "My lords, Dahua is so rampant that it actually ordered Li Yan, the Minister of War, to lead a mere 50,000 troops to march towards Shengjing. Do you have any good strategies to repel the enemy?"
Everyone looked at each other, but in the end no one said a word. This scene was in sharp contrast to the previous excitement when I heard about the southern invasion. Once upon a time, when the senior officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty heard about the southern invasion, their eyes lit up, and they regarded the Central Plains as a fat sheep that was ready to be slaughtered. However, they suddenly realized it after being severely beaten by Pang Gang. , It turns out that there is still a ruthless man in the Central Plains. He used the corpses of tens of thousands of Manchus to prove that there are ruthless people among the Han people. He also showed no mercy when killing Manchus.
So the Manchus were afraid, and now they felt a little frightened when they heard that they were going to fight against this ruthless man's subordinates.
Huang Taiji looked at the princes and ministers below him with dissatisfaction, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why, when I said that Dahua was coming, you all became timid? Duduo, you usually talk the most, what's wrong today? Silent? And you, Dorgon. Don't you claim to be the wise general among our Manchus? Are you silent? And you, Abatai, you claim to be the bravest Batulu among the Manchus. Why are you mute? And you"
Whenever Huang Taiji called someone's name, that person would lower his head and dare not say a word. Everyone acted like an ostrich despite Huang Taiji scolding him on the throne.
Finally, Huang Taiji turned to Hauge, who had been standing beside him with his head bowed today: "And you, Hauge, did you leave your courage there after you went to Jinzhou?"
Since Hauge came back the day before yesterday, he has been looked down upon and ridiculed by Dorgon, Duduo and many military ministers. After the defeat, Hauge could only endure his anger, which made him very angry these days.
Hauge changed his past arrogance. With a bitter look on his face, he lowered his head and said softly, "Father, my son is guilty, please deal with him."
"Hmph. Punishing you, is it useful to punish you?" Huang Taiji's face turned cold. Regarding Hauge's defeat this time, Huang Taiji really hated iron and steel, and originally wanted to give him a chance to show his face. Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face by Wu Sangui.
If it had been a few years ago, Hauge would have at least been stripped of his title as a prince and demoted to a county king. However, there have been too many princes and ministers who have suffered at the hands of Pang Gang in recent years. If Dorgon and others demanded that Hauge be severely punished, , then their old accounts must be settled, and the boss of the group should stop laughing at the second, so Dorgon and others could only let him go with a few sarcastic remarks.
Looking at the dejected Manchaowu, Huang Taiji sighed secretly. The current situation is so different from the atmosphere of Manchaowu a few years ago. At that time, when they heard that there was going to be a war, almost everyone would cheer and the tribesmen would be happy. He happily sent his husband, son and father to the battlefield becauseFrom their perspective, war means having a steady stream of gold, silver, wealth, food and cloth brought home.
The cowardice of the Han people has been proven time and time again through decades of wars, but I don¡¯t know when the Qingzhou Army, represented by Pang Gang, taught the senior officials of the Qing Dynasty a good lesson. It turns out that the Han people killed The Manchus were also merciless. From Beijing to Julu and then to North Korea, Pang Gang and his troops inflicted huge casualties on them.
A few years ago, the Manchu Qing Dynasty originally had at least nearly 200,000 troops in its heyday. However, after several consecutive years of attrition, the Manchu Qing army now only has a little over 100,000 troops. This also made the Manchu Qing Dynasty, from high-level officials to civilians, Feeling the heavy pressure brought by the war, except for the Shangsan Banners who did not go on the expedition, almost every family in the remaining banners had relatives who died on the battlefield. For the first time, they knew that war was no longer just wishful thinking. The enemy's swords and guns could also bring death to them.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was too dull, Huang Taiji had no choice but to turn his attention to someone among the people standing at the end on the left. These people were Ning Wanwo, Fan Cheng, Kong Youde and other Han ministers.
Seeing Huang Taiji's eyes on him, Fan Cheng secretly complained in his heart. He had already been criticized by everyone for his dispatch of troops to Jinzhou a few days ago. How could he have the nerve to speak out again now? But the boss has an order, and he has to fight even if he doesn't want to.
Fan Cheng stood up bravely and said to Huang Taiji, "Your Majesty, this servant has something to say."
Seeing that Fan Cheng finally stood up, Huang Taiji said happily: "Okay, if Fan Aiqing has anything to say, please speak up."
After secretly looking at the faces of the surrounding princes and ministers, Fan Chengcai boldly said: "Your Majesty, I think this time Dahua invades our Qing territory, it is not a question of whether to fight, but how to fight. Dahua invades our territory. The sword of Hua is pointing at Shengjing. We, the Qing Dynasty, have no way out. We can only mobilize all our troops to fight the enemy to the death. Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the late emperor!"
Speaking of this, Fan Cheng's voice became louder and louder, and his originally bent waist straightened up. Abatai and others watching on the side frowned secretly, but Fan Cheng moved out the late Nurhaci this time. But they couldn't even express their disapproval.
"Fan Aiqing is right!" Huang Taiji slapped the armrest vigorously, stood up and stepped off the dragon chair, came to the center of the ministers, looked around, glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and then said: "Now I am a big man The Qing Dynasty has reached its most critical juncture, Dahua's purpose is already obvious, they are going to completely uproot us, all the ministers, do you think we can agree?"
At this point, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they can only raise their hands and shout: "No, absolutely not!"
¡°Your Majesty, let¡¯s fight those Nikans!¡±
"Yes, our Qing Dynasty has never been beaten as far as Shengjing by adults since the founding of the country. As a descendant of Nurhaci, how have we ever experienced such a shame and humiliation? Your Majesty, we will fight with them!"
Looking at the excited crowd, Huang Taiji nodded secretly, pressed his hands, and signaled everyone to quiet down. He said to everyone: "There is nothing to say this time. Since Dahua wants to fight, we will accompany him to the end. This time In the battle, I decided to take charge of the battle myself and fight to the death with Dahua."
"Long live, long live!"
"Fight to the death!"
The crowd¡¯s shouts seemed to break through the glazed tiles of Chongzheng Hall, but not everyone could know what was hidden behind these shouts.
Soon after the meeting, Huang Taiji and the ministers of military affairs made a decision. Due to the fierce attack of Dahua this time, the Manchu and Qing senior officials unanimously decided to send out all the Eight Banners, including the most powerful Shangsan Banner.
Finally, everyone counted and found that the Eight Banners sent a total of 100,000 troops this time, and there were also 40,000 troops from the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and other troops. A total of 140,000 troops marched towards the Great Chinese Army led by Li Yan.
On the third day of October in the first year of Dahua, Li Yan set up camp under the Lion Mountain outside Shengjing City, preparing to challenge Huang Taiji's 140,000 army. On the fourth day of October, Huang Taiji led his army to camp thirty miles away from Lion Rock. Although the two armies were only thirty miles apart, what was strange was that the commanders of both sides did not seem to be in a hurry at all. They all gave orders slowly and calmly. The men slowly strengthened the camp and prepared defenses.
In the military tent of the Dahua Army camp, Li Yan was raising the tent. As a second-rank official of the imperial court and Minister of War, Li Yan was sitting majestically on a chair. Surrounded by dozens of generals, they were sitting respectfully according to their official positions. both sides. The generals of Liaodong led by Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou were sitting on the left, and the generals of the Third Army led by Li Yuan were sitting on the right. Both sides were looking respectfully at Li Yan in front, waiting for him to give orders.
Li Yan first turned around and asked Li Yuan on the right: "LiGeneral, are the camp's defenses ready? "
Li Yuan said respectfully: "We have prepared a report to the Superintendent. If the Tatars dare to come, I guarantee that they will never come back!"
After listening to the exchanges between the two sides, Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou and others felt a strange feeling in their hearts. They clearly came to attack Shengjing. At this moment, instead of seeking a decisive battle with the opponent, they set up defenses. What on earth is this? What's going on?
