Chapter 119 The First Battle of Restoration
Now Yu Xiaotian promised that as long as they handed over the military power, they would not blame the past, and he would also give them a lot of care to let them go home to raise and be a rich man.
If they don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid that after Xiaotian solves the problem of Jiannu, he will not offer them such favorable conditions again. At that time, they may not even have a good end except for handing over the military power.
Forced by the situation, Zu Dashou could only accept the conditions given to him by Yu Xiaotian. As for Yu Xiaotian's invitation to work in the military department, he also chose to refuse, because as a foreigner, the military department must be under Yu Xiaotian's direct subordinates in the future. Even if he joins the military department, he is expected to be squeezed out. It's hard to control how much power. It's better to simply retreat now and be a rich man without asking the world.
Now he can be sure that Daming is no longer the former Daming. Yu Xiaotian in front of him is the real master in the future. He will never allow any military general to hold troops under his eyelids and be self-respecting. Instead of fighting against him, it is better to obey his orders honestly and get a good ending. .
After Yu Xiaotian persuaded Zu Dashou, he was also relieved. For Guan Ningjun, he has always been a mental illness. Even before he led the troops out of the customs, he had made the worst plan. If Zu Dashou and other Guan Ning generals refused to obey his orders and handed over the military power to reorganization Guan Ningjun, he had even done it. Get ready. Before cleaning up the slaves, clean up these Guanning army generals to solve their worries.
But now it seems that he doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore. Zu Dashu is a very smart person and knows what to do. He is not arrogant enough to think that with the strength of their Guan Ningjun, they can fight against him in Xiaotian. This time, he agreed to his conditions more readily, so this is for his strategy in the future. Liaodong is a good thing.
At least avoid an unnecessary killing, which can reduce the death of many people outside the customs, which can also play a great role in restoring Liaodong's production in the future. In this regard, Zu Dashou can be said to have contributed to the society and the nation, so Yu Xiaotian got up and gave a deep salute to Zu Dashou and said: "Yu Mouduo Marshal Xie Zu was so enlightened that he thanked General Zu for the whole people of Liaodong!
But this matter is not in a hurry for a while. Everything can wait until I join hands to fight for the destruction of Jiannu! This time, Yu's personal expedition to Liaodong, I hope that the Grand Marshal of Zu can not hesitate to cooperate with Yu, which has humiliated me for decades!
If Guan Ningjun can build meritorious deeds this time, then Yu can reconsider the arrangements for some meritorious people! ......”
After Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou City, he immediately gathered the Guanning generals who followed him and informed everyone of the results of the negotiations between him and Yu Xiaotian.
As soon as everyone heard this, there was an uproar. There were many people who disagreed. Many people jumped up on the spot and shouted that they would never agree. Some people even immediately went back to order troops to lead the mountain.
But the hustle and noise of these people was quickly suppressed by Zu Da Shou's angry shout. Zu Da Shou glanced at the people present coldly, scolded them coldly, told them again what he had to say.
And told these people that he had agreed to Yu Xiaotian's proposal and decided to be the first to hand over the military power after Yu Xiaotian's extermination of the slaves. If anyone refused to comply and had to lead the troops to the mountain, he would be the first to refuse to agree. Whoever did so was to follow him. Even if Yu Xiaotian ignores them for the time being, his ancestors will lead troops to suppress them.
After listening to Zu Dashou's words, these guys suddenly wither and know that things are irreparable. If Zu Dashou refuses to take them to make trouble, then relying on themselves to go down and fool around, it is estimated that there is no chance of winning at all. Jumping out like this to fight against Yu Xiaotian is actually He is looking for death, and I guess Yu Xiaotian is also happy to have someone jump out like this and be the first bird!
Now, if someone takes the initiative to jump out to act as this leading bird, it will undoubtedly be what Yu Xiaotian wants most. He will definitely kill all these up birds by thunder. The Guanning generals present are not fools, and no one is willing to act as this top bird, since there is no If people dare to jump out, then they will have no choice but to accept it.
Zu Dashou completely pressed down this group of Guanning generals, and then told them that there was still a turning point. Yu Xiaotian said first. If this time he led the army to suppress Jiannu, these Guanning generals were willing to cooperate fully and make war achievements, then they could reconsider him afterwards. Their appointment, but if someone wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble for him, Yu Xiaotian's ugly words have also come to the front. There is absolutely no two to kill their nine clans, and they will uproot their whole family and never be soft-hearted.
In such a situation, even if these Guanning generals are reluctant, they can only accept the current fact and rest one after another, expressing their willingness to listen to Zu Dashou's instructions and follow Zu Dashou's orders.
On the seventh day of August of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, a final confrontation between Daming and Jiannu was finally staged in Liaodong. Yu Xiaotian led more than 30,000 Yu's army to set out from Jinzhou and went straight to the Daling River.
A fleet of the northern fleet, which had already been on standby in the Bohai Bay, immediately sent many small ships and went straight into the mouth of the Daling River to help the main force of the family cross the Daling River, went straight to the Daling River Fort, and also provoked the second battle of Daling River Fort.
However, this time, the offensive and defensive sides returned their positions. The Jiannu army became the defenders, but the Ming army, the Yu family army, became the offensive side.
Dalinghe Fort is now also the first line of defense of Jiannu's defense against the Ming army in Liaodong. Therefore, in recent years, it has been vigorously operated by Jiannu and continuously expanded and strengthened, so that Dalinghebao has formed a perfect defense system.
Moreover, Huang Taiji took the most trusted Jirhalang as the coach and personally put the expanded blue flag around Dalinghe Fort to guard against Yizhou in the west, building the first line of defense against the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Xiaotian did not take Yizhou first, but directly supervised the division to forcibly cross the Daling River. First, he defeated the Jiannu defenders on the north bank with artillery on the ship, and then covered and helped the mainland division to cross the Daling River successfully.
Zilhalan immediately led the army to fight back, but was successfully blocked by the Yu family army and gained a firm foothold on the north bank of the Daling River.
Zilhalang saw that the situation was not good, and Yu's army was too powerful, so he dared not fight with Yu's army in the wild. He led the army to quickly withdraw to the Daling River City and closed the gate to defend it.
At this time, Jiannu went all out to supervise the construction of Huang Taiji, and now he has also cast a lot of Hongyi cannons. Although the quality of the Hongyi cannons cast by Jiannu is far worse than that used by the family army, its power should not be underestimated. In the Daling River Fort alone, it is equipped with more than 20 red guns of about 18 pounds. Yi cannon.
In addition, Jiannu also built a lot of muskets, which are similar in shape to the old-style bird guns used by the Ming army, and there are still a lot in quality. Jirharang tried to fight against these firearms and Yu Jiajun.
After Yu Xiaotian led his troops to attack the Daling River, he surrounded the Daling River City and began to launch an attack on the Daling River Fort.
The Jiannu soldiers and horses outside the Daling River Fort were quickly eliminated by the cavalry of the Yu family, and the rest of the Jiannu soldiers and horses retreated to the Daling River Fort and defended the Daling River Fort.
Yu Xiaotian ordered cannons to launch a fierce shelling on Dalinghe Fort, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle. In front of the new artillery of the family army, although Jiannu tried his best to build artillery in the past two years, it was still completely suppressed by the artillery of the family army.
After three days of fierce fighting, almost all the Hongyi cannons in the Daling River Fort were destroyed by the cannons of the Yu family army. Jirharang was greatly frightened, so he sent the blue flag cavalry in the city to counterattack the family army and tried to destroy the artillery positions of the family army outside the city with cavalry.
However, their attack was also immediately hit by the infantry and artillery of the Yu family army. More than a thousand cavalry who sneaked out of the city did not even touch the edge of the Yu family's artillery position at all, so they were beaten with water. The remaining remnants were defeated and fled, but they were attacked by the Mongolian cavalry that had just formed by the Yu family army. The pursuit of the barracks.
As a result, more than 1,000 slave cavalry, and finally only a few dozen people fled back to the Daling River Fort, and the rest were basically annihilated outside the city.
Zilharan was so frightened that he had to send people to sneak out of Dalinghe City at night, rushed to Yizhou to ask for help, and ordered the Yizhou garrison to come to rescue Dalinghe City.
Yu Xiaotian waited for this move. At the beginning, Huang Taiji led troops to attack Dalinghe Fort, and also adopted the method of besieging the city to help. After besieging Dalinghe Fort, he knocked off several Ming troops who came to rescue Dalinghe Fort one after another, and finally forced Zu Dashou, who guarded Dalinghe Fort, to surrender for the Qing Dynasty for the first time, which also led to 10,000 The elite of Duoguan Ning Army finally surrendered to Jiannu and became Jiannu's minions.
This time, Yu Xiaotian also adopted this method. The military generals of Yizhou did not dare to obey. Three thousand soldiers and horses went out of Yizhou to rush to the Daling River City to support, but they were strongly blocked by the Yu family army halfway. As a result, the reinforcements were unable to break through the defense line of the Yu family army at all and were defeated by the Yu family army.
When the defeated soldiers fled back to Yizhou City, they found that even Yizhou City could not return at this time. It turned out that Yu Xiaotian led troops to attack Dalinghe Fort, and Zu Dashou had ordered 20,000 Guanning troops to attack Yizhou.
When the enslave defenders of Yizhou rushed out of the city to Dalinghe Fort, Zu Dashou appeared outside Yizhou City, and instantly surrounded Yizhou City like an iron barrel and began to attack Yizhou City desperately.
At this time, there were less than 2,000 soldiers left in Yizhou City, plus some people, even if all the flags were added, only less than 5,000 defenders.
Moreover, there are many Han people in Yizhou City who are unwilling to work hard for Jiannu and the Ming army. Under such circumstances, some Han soldiers deliberately released water, and finally Yizhou City was finally defeated by the Guanning army under the command of Zu Dashou.
