Chapter 310 Jinzhou
Since the rise of the wild boar, Nurhaci, the wild Jurchen tribes have gradually grown between the White Mountains and Black Waters, and the so-called Manchu Eight Banners, which is a large part of the population.
After decades of exploring the east and west, they first served as the Later Jin, then the Qing Dynasty, they refuted Korea in the east, suppressed the Tatars in the west, and captured the Ming court in the south, gradually developed into a semi-slavery regime surrounded by the Eight Manchu Banners, the Eight Tatars in the Mongolian Banners, the Eight Han Banners in the Han Banners and the North Koreans.
In the Donglu sequence, the Man Eight Banners are naturally the core of the first class, and the power they enjoy is consistent with their own combat power.
The second is the Tatars Mongolian Eight Banners, the second is the Han Eight Banners, and finally the North Korean envoys.
The Koreans were pitiful in combat, but they were an indispensable force for the Dongliu. A large part of the Dongliu supplies were squeezed from North Korea. In terms of the amount, they were no less than the plunder of the Ming court. It was just a little more gentle - because the Koreans were subdued.
Dorgon's so-called power to dominate the country was 200,000 soldiers and 300,000 Baoyi, a large part of which were recruited by the young and strong people from North Korea. Especially for Baoyi, the Koreans and the Han people accounted for almost half each.
Moreover, compared with the Han people, the Eastern Barbarians trusted the Koreans more. For example, the Jinzhou retreat route, Dorgon handed over to the Koreans to guard them.
The weaker the more cruel the person is. When a cowardly person lets go, his behavior is often closer to the livestock. When they bow to their masters, they will face other enemies, especially those of their own tribe, they are often worse than livestock.
Just like in history, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Green Camp soldiers of the Han Eight Banners who often fought for the vanguard. The cruel facts caused by these original Han people to their own tribes were not inferior to those of the Tartars. Instead, they became even more severe.
Like the traitors who had been in the Eight Years of War of Resistance, this is the guy.
The same is true for the North Koreans.
When Qian Yue led his troops to Jinzhou, the Korean soldiers he saw revealed a sense of impetuous and violent behavior. They were even not afraid of Qian Yue's armored soldiers at first and dared to charge head-on. However, after a big defeat in one charge, they became as anxious as dogs and collapsed instantly.
Tens of thousands of Korean soldiers lost less than 2,000 people and all surrendered. However, the outcome was not very good, because Qian Yue did not have the extra energy to guard more prisoners, nor did he have more energy to detour these prisoners back to the pass.
So they all killed!
If there were elderly, weak, women and children, Qian Yue, who was more gentle than Zhou Li, might not raise the butcher's knife, just like after attacking Wu Keshan, he encountered the Tatar tribes he met along the way, and only killed the resisters, and all the others were handed over to the accompanying slave camps and merchants to escort them back.
But all the Korean soldiers in Jinzhou were in the army, without women and children, so they could kill them without any hindrance.
After occupying Jinzhou, Qian Yue immediately sent people to Shanhaiguan to send the battle report. While establishing fortifications, two large camps were set up outside Jinzhou City, watching over each other with a horn, and completely cutting off the Tatars' return.
"The direction of Liaoyang also has to be guarded." Qian Yue made a clear plan in his mind: "Although the Tatars are trying to attack with all their strength, the so-called Shengjing and my Liaoyang will definitely be left with a soldier to guard it. If the Tatars find that the Jinzhou road is broken, Liaoyang will definitely react."
Once Jinzhou is lost, not only will the Tartars' retreat be cut off, but the food and grass transportation route from Liaoyang to Shanhaiguan will also be cut off. At most two or three days, no matter in Liaoyang or Sanshanying Fort outside Shanhaiguan, you will notice something is wrong.
"At this time, you must be ready for a decisive battle. Our army must be prepared and must not escape the elite troops of the Tartar headquarters. The targets intercepted are mainly Jiannu headquarters, and the others are secondary."
"One army was stationed in Jinzhou and the north and south camps outside the city, and the remaining one was mobilized to support it. The troops were immediately dispersed without being collected at night, and the large net that intercepted the Tatars' return must be out of reach."
The military orders were issued smoothly, and soon Jinzhou became a den of a dragon's pond.
Qian Yue was only waiting for the decisive battle between Shanhaiguan, but at night, he soon heard news that he had found traces of soldiers and horses garrison in the mountains and forests north of Jinzhou.
This made Qian Yue a little confused. He immediately sent a battalion-level cavalry to check it out.
That night, one of them came with the cavalry.
"Wu Yinglin pays homage to the general!"
He is a young man in his twenties.
Qian Yue Jiongjiong stared for a moment and said, "Wu Yinglin? Who are you?"
Then I found out that Wu Yinglin was actually Wu Sangui's nephew and the son of Wu Sanfeng, the brother Wu Sangui!
"My uncle had decided to join the King of Xia, but he had not made any contributions and did not dare to see King of Xia. So he and the Tartars were silently asked to lead my troops outside to find an opportunity to attack Liaoyang and take over the Tartars' nest. However, the general was observing the truth..."
In order to cover up and avoid the sight of the Tartars, the eight thousand people led by Wu Yinglin chose to march in poor mountains and rivers at a very slow speed. Until now, they have just passed the Jinzhou line. I thought that I could speed up the trip after passing Jinzhou, but I didn't expect Qian Yue to discover it.
The densely populated eyeliners of the Tartars are mainly distributed on the line from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan. Once they pass through Jinzhou and reach the heart of Shengjing, the Tartars will have even fewer eyeliners here.
"I see."
Qian Yue immediately understood.
Qian Yue knew about Wu Sangui's secret surrender. The person named Wu Yinglin was obviously a Han Chinese. Of course, Qian Yue would not easily believe Wu Yinglin's words, but before meeting Wu Yinglin, he had already learned from the cavalry that those who were hiding in the mountains and forests in the north were indeed not Tartar soldiers. At least no one shaved his head and changed his clothes.
After hearing Wu Yinglin's words, Qian Yue couldn't help but feel moved and became interested in Wu Sangui's plan.
If you can get rid of the Tartars' nest while intercepting the Tartars' return, this matter is quite operational.
Then he heard Wu Yinglin say, "The general clearly understands. The Tatars still have 10,000 elite soldiers in Shengjing, all of which are elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Tatars headquarters. Although there is Zu inside and the fact that my uncle 'surrender' outside, he may be able to deceive the city, but he is still unsure. I ask the general to send troops to help, and to make great contributions together!"
After hearing this, Qian Yue couldn't help laughing: "I don't care about competing for merit with you. But I am indeed interested. What do you mean is that in Liaoyang, if Zu Dashou is the inner supporter, can you also deceive the city based on the fact that Wu Sangui's surrender?"
Wu Yinglin hurriedly said, "General is wise, that's exactly what it is."
"How sure is Zu Dashou? It is probably not easy to cheat the city. In this battle of national destiny, unless the Tatars headquarters return to the city, even if they are Tatars, they may not easily cheat the Liaoyang city gate. Only internal responses are more likely to succeed."
