Chapter 469
Luanhe, the old camp of the Qing army.●⌒,
When Liu Jun led his troops to arrive, Zhang Guodong had already taken down the camp, and more than a thousand Qing troops left behind in the camp were wiped out in one fell swoop, and none of them escaped.
Through the Luan River, Liu Jun looked at the other side.
"After crossing the Luan River, there are the Qing thrones that were surrounded by us. The time for counterattack has come. The warriors of the Han Empire, let us join forces to annihilate these invading Tartars, regain this land, and build it into a beautiful Yanbei Province."
Liu Jun said to Liu Chenggong, the imperial guard beside him, "Blow the horn of advance and cross the river!"
A total of 50,000 Han troops began to cross the river and unexpectedly surrounded the Qing army from the northeast.
"The Tartars will definitely be shocked. They will shock our divine weapons from the sky." Zhang Guodong said with a laugh. The vanguard cavalry he led easily annihilated the remaining Qing army here, and even the little food they had finally collected was directly seized. Moreover, the news of this battle has not been leaked, at least not yet.
Regarding this operation, Liu Jun not only deceived the Qing army, but also deceived the ministers in the court. From the beginning, Liu Jun had already made up his mind to give this greedy and shameless Qing army a heavy blow. The more you give in to such people who take advantage of the situation, the more you give in, they will only make them become more and more aggressive. No matter how much you retreat, they will only think that you are weak and can be bullied.
To deal with such enemies, only by hitting back hard can they retreat.
Moreover, through the summary and analysis of various intelligences, Liu Jun is also very confident in winning this counterattack. He still has strong control over the Gyeonggi area. There are no less than 300,000 elite troops gathered in the Gyeonggi area. Liu Jun has enough troops to draw out a team of troops to operate without worrying about the unstable capital.
The Han army fought at home, and they all had the advantage in terms of morale, equipment, supplies and military strength. The Qing army was just bluffing, but in fact there were various internal instability. The so-called army of more than 100,000 is already on the verge of collapse without fighting.
How could Liu Jun miss such a good opportunity?
For the sake of safety and to better attack the Qing army, Liu Jun did not directly let Yanbei counterattack. Such a counterattack could win, but it was difficult to win. Liu Jun had a great appetite. He wanted to completely attack the Qing army.
In order to paralyze the Qing army, Liu Jun neither asked the Han army in Yanbei to launch a counterattack nor transferred the troops from the capital. Liu Jun did not even let the officials and people in the capital know that he had left the capital. Now, many people in the capital still think that their emperor is still in the Forbidden City.
In fact, a few days ago, Liu Jun had quietly left the capital, and did not bring his personal guards or the imperial guards. He only quietly left the capital with several generals. After arriving in Tianjin, he took a boat to Shanhaiguan.
The 50,000 troops brought by Liu Jun now are composed of the Han army in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, as well as the troops drawn from the Beiyang, Denglai and Lushun towns. There are a total of 50,000 elite troops, with secret actions.
They walked along the ancient road in western Liaoning, along the Wuzhong Ancient Road where Qinglongshui walked. They walked around the back of the Luan River, and then surrounded the Qing army that had already penetrated into the Chaohe area.
On the banks of the Chao River.
"The supply should have arrived yesterday, but it has not come yet. Something is wrong." Wu Sangui stood in his tent and felt uneasy.
Zu Dashou was wearing military uniform and pressing the long sword around his waist. He had not untied his armor for a long time. Even in his own camp, he had to bring at least two hundred clans around him.
He always felt something was wrong with Duoduo and the others, and suspected that they were going to betray them.
"There are too many things that are wrong. The Han army at the Great Wall Pass is so calm that it is not very sensible. No matter how provoked it, they have no response. And their Tartars themselves are still in an internal strife. Haoge has already prepared his luggage and ordered the 50,000 troops he led to retreat to western Liaoning, and also sent us orders to retreat with us."
"But the damn Duoduo and Ajige ordered to continue to guard the place. They even ordered the two yellow flags under Haoge and the men of the Mongolian and Han military flags to stay. I heard that the two yellow flags and many soldiers of the Mongolian and Han flags chose to stay. Haoge was so angry that he took the remaining 30,000 people to evacuate immediately. It seems that no one can stop him. Damn, in this way, we will lose 30,000 troops of the Zhenglan Banner at once."
Wu Sangui paced in the tent and murmured, "What's wrong, it's very wrong. The defenders on the Great Wall reacted so fucking calmly. There was still supplies for two days. I always feel something was going to happen."
"What can happen? Didn't Duoduo say that his spies have been staring at Guanning and the Han army on the front line of Yanbei? If Liu Jiye really needs to make any noise, at worst, we will retreat at that time. Liu Jiye can't fly behind us, right?"
Wu Sangui felt uneasy, and he tentatively said to his uncle, "Why do we withdraw from Liaoxi with Haoge?"
"Then you might as well say we will surrender to Liu Jiye again." Zu Dashou rejected his nephew's proposal, "You know, although Haoge is the auxiliary king, he is just an excluded person in the Qing court. Otherwise, he would not have come to this Western Expedition. Dodo and Ajige are Dorgon's brothers. Now Dorgon is the one who speaks the most in the Qing court. Maybe one day, Dorgon will usurp the throne and become emperor like Liu Jiye. Let's retreat with Haoge now. Isn't this avenue to seek death?"
Duoduo finally persuaded Haoge and asked him to stay, claiming that Liu Jun was just bluffing and he would definitely give in. At that time, they would get the results they wanted by the Qing Dynasty and then retreat.
But Haoge scoffed at Duoduo's confidence, got on the horse without looking back, and took his 30,000 troops to leave Chaohe Camp and retreat northeastward.
Duoduo looked at Haoge leading his troops to leave without looking back, and jumped up in anger and cursed at Haoge's back.
After capturing the old Qing army camp in Chengde, Liu Jun led his troops to rush south like a nine-headed bird with spreading its wings. Along the way, he advanced along the river valley. Although this place has always been occupied by the Mongols and is the territory of the Kalaqin Banner, it is actually not considered a grassland. It is full of hills, full of valleys, dense forests, and difficult to walk on the road.
The history of Kalaqin can be traced back to a long time. The distant ancestor of King Kalaqin was Genghis Khan's hero, Lemei, who belonged to the Wulianghai clan. Wulianghai clan is a famous surname of the Kalaqin nation in modern Mongolia and is also an ancient and long-standing clan title in Mongolian history. Wulianghai is also translated in ancient historical classics: "Wurian Hawulianghai Wulianghan" and so on. Although the transliteration is different, the content is actually the same, and they are all translations of the word Wulianghai.
In fact, Kalaqin's ancestors were not natives who lived in Yanbei for generations.
Their ancestors were actually Ughus people who were nomad on the Eurasian grasslands and in later Iran.
According to legend, Wugusi, the leader of the Ugusi people, had six sons, and each of his six sons had four sons. Twenty-four branches were reproduced from the various Wugusi sects, and the Haschi tribe was one of the branches. Later, the Haschi tribe migrated to the area south of the Amu River and gradually developed into a powerful tribe, collectively known as the Qinzha people, and they formed a powerful Qinzha tribe alliance.
During the Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire, at that time, the various tribes of the Qincha followed the Mongol Empire in Kangli, Central Asia. In 1221, when Genghis Khan ordered his young son Toree to the western expedition of Khorasan (the region south of the Amu River, including Turkmenistan, Iran, northern Afghanistan and other areas), Toree enlisted the Hassakchi people living in Kojining into the Mongolian army. They were brave and good at fighting and were called the Qincha army. Later, these people were brought back to the main unit of the Mongolian grasslands and ordered to serve in the Qixue army of Genghis Khan's Khan's Khan's Khan's Khan's Khan's Khan's original Hassakchi composed of these people, which is the origin of the ancestors of the Kalaqin tribe.
By the Yuan Dynasty, the number of Qinshi troops formed by the Kalaqin people was as many as 10,000. The Kalaqin people made great contributions to the Yuan Dynasty's invincibility and were stationed in the northern desert.
When the Ming Dynasty was established, the Mongols retreated to the north of the Moon. The Kalaqin Army, their families and the Kalaqin herders gradually developed into a powerful tribe, called the Kalaqin tribe, and they still lived in the northern part of the Moon at that time.
In the Battle of Tumu Fort, Ming lost hundreds of thousands of elite troops. He was forced to give up the previously occupied southern desert area and retreat to the south of the Great Wall.
Kalaqin and Asu tribes entered the Hetao area and became the new ruler of Hetao. Later, the Wei Lat tribes also entered Hetao. After thirty years of melee, Dayan Khan finally controlled the Mongolian tribes again and officially divided Mongolia into 60,000 households on the left and right wings. Among them, Ordos, Tumot, and Yongsebu were 30,000 households on the right wings, and Chahar, Khalkha and Urianha were 30,000 households on the left wings.
Later, 30,000 households on the right wing rebelled, and Dayan Khan personally led his troops to attack the right wing. After several major battles, the rebellion was quelled. After quelling the rebellion, Dayan Khan divided the 30,000 households on the right wing to his descendants. From then on, the Kalaqin tribe on the right wing also became the hereditary territory and people of the Golden Family.
During this period, the Kalaqin tribe had moved out of the Ordos area. It stationed in the pastoral areas outside Xuanfu, Zhangjiakou and Dushikou, and gradually went eastward to the pastoral areas of the three guards of Urianha.
Later, under the leadership of his leader, Duoyanwei of Urianha, led his troops to join the Kalaqin tribe, and appointed the leader of the Kalaqin tribe as his leader.
By the time of Lin Dankhan, the Later Jin rose and the Ming Dynasty further weakened. Lin Dankhan wanted to merge and unify the southern tribes, which resulted in the southern tribes surrendering to the Later Jin.
The Kalaqin tribe was located at the forefront of the right-wing Mongolia. It had always had conflicts with Lin Dankhan. The conflict between the two sides was about to break out. The Kalaqin tribe has encountered several attacks by Lin Dankhan many times. Several times, Lin Dankhan dispatched more than 100,000 troops. In the end, most of the Kalaqin tribe army collapsed, part of which fled to the Ming border to hide, and part was captured by Lin Dankhan.
The leader of the Kalaqin Golden Family and the population they own were mostly killed and captured in the Annexation War in Chahar. The tribes under the Urianha people in Kalaqin did not participate in the Battle of Aibuha, and led by Chang'anzi Selen and Sun Subuditabunang, thus preserving their strength. They soon participated in the war between the Later Jin and Lin Dankhan.
It turned out that most of the Taiji and tribes of the Kalaqin tribe who survived were enshrined in the Eight Banners of the Mongolians by the Later Jin Dynasty. In this way, Selen and Subuditabun continued to use the name "Kalaqin" of the former sect leader.
The leadership of the Kalaqin tribe was completely transferred from the Golden Family to the Urianha people, who became the new lord of the Kalaqin tribe. This also marked that the new Kalaqin tribe was reorganized by the Urianha people as the main body.
"So, these Kalaqin people are no longer the real Kalaqin people, nor are they the commanders of the Golden Family." Liu Jun was very concerned about the Kalaqin tribe because his newly established Yanbei Province is now the territory of Kalaqin people.
"The Kalaqin tribe is actually a native of Uryanha."
Urianha, also known as the Three Weises of the Doyan in the early Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and Mongolia in northern Mobei was divided into three tribes, the Urianha tribe, the Ola tribe, and the Tatar tribe.
No matter how cunning and greedy these Mongolians were, now these Mongolians have finally fallen.
Wherever Liu Jun's army passed, there was a lot of ruins everywhere, with no herders or tents and cattle and sheep. Mixed between the two major forces of the Han and Qing dynasties, their lives were not easy.
But poor people must have something hateful.
These Mongols were also surrendered by Ming in their early years, and paid tribute to Ming's surrender and sought mutual trade. However, they secretly plundered the borders and did everything they could.
Afraid of power and virtue, Liu Jun couldn't help but think of this sentence again.
Fortunately, Liu Jun's troops were prepared for this time. Each soldier brought dry food bags, including jerky meat, fried rice, fried noodles, and even light cakes and pots. There were also grain trucks from the logistics battalion, carrying sufficient food and grass for the entire army.
Otherwise, the desolation everywhere is really a big trouble now.
"Your Majesty, Haoge is driving here with 30,000 troops."
A team of light cavalry rushed over to bring the latest military information.
After receiving this news, Liu Jun was a little surprised. Could it be that the Qing army had discovered their movements?
"It seems that Hauge and Duoduo had an argument. The two had a conflict over the advance and retreat. In the end, Hauge ordered a retreat, while Duoduo ordered a stay. In the end, more than 30,000 people evacuated with Hauge."
When Zhang Guodong heard the news, he couldn't help but feel happy, "Your Majesty, what an unexpected gain is the internal strife of the Qing Dynasty. Haoge led 30,000 people to leave most of the people. Let's kill him first."
Liu Jun also nodded, which was indeed an unexpected surprise.
The troops led by Hauge returned along the way they came, and the troops were a little depressed when they evacuated.
Oboi rode a horse next to Haoge. He was from the Huangqin. The acting banner leader Ajige ordered him to lead his troops to stay, but in the end Oboi did not stay. He chose to retreat with Haoge. There were not many people from the two yellow flags who chose the same choice as him. Although the Dorgon brothers are now in power, they are unwilling to believe it.
"Prince, we're leaving like this, is it appropriate?"
"Do we have to stay and decide to pay the bill for the mistake of Duoduo's idiot. The longer we delay, the more unfavorable we are. I'm sure that Liu Jiye must have seen our truth clearly. Only Duoduo's idiot, but he refused to give up like a gambler who was so angry."
Obai thought for a while and asked, "If we leave, wouldn't they be even more unfavorable? If Liu Jiye sent troops to fight back, then?"
Haoge looked ahead and sighed, "If that's true, then we'll have at least 30,000 troops left for the Qing Dynasty."
As soon as the words were finished, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, resounding through the mountains and echoing in the valley.
Many Qing soldiers looked up one after another, "Why did it sound thunder sound on sunny day?" (To be continued.)
