Chapter 93 The King of Sanshun
After watching so many large and medium-sized soldiers rush out of the gate, they almost dazzled and quickly completed the reassemeration outside the customs. Wu Xiang couldn't help lamenting. Fortunately, he was not allowed to lead the soldiers to fight. If he also led the troops out, this time he was just gathering outside the customs. I'm afraid he and he These soldiers and generals under him are ashamed of their shame. He believes that these officers and soldiers under his command can't understand the meaning of the order flag of the Dazhong army at all, and they certainly can't quickly complete the assembly and deployment under the military order like other Dazhong army generals, so if they go out, they will only add chaos to the Dazhong army. It makes people despise them and become a laughing stock in the future.
Therefore, Wu Xiang's ability to control Xiao Tianjian can be said to be admired. Only the middle officer, he easily completed the mobilization of tens of thousands of troops. Therefore, based on this style alone, it can be seen that the Dazhong Army is indeed a well-trained and effective organization. Rui Zhishi, there is no need to doubt this at all. If they can't defeat the Jiannu army, then who else in the world can be the opponent of Jiannu? Wu Xiang couldn't help but secretly celebrate his wise choice this time. Fortunately, he chose to turn to the Greater China Dynasty. Otherwise, it is estimated that even if he leads Jiannu into the customs, as long as he meets the Dazhong army, he and the generals under his command will still be like the Han who killed the Jiannu a few days ago. The end is the same as the army.
What men are most afraid of in life is to enter the wrong industry, and what women are most afraid of is marrying the wrong man, but Wu Xiang feels that what he is most afraid of is to choose the wrong way. Once he takes the wrong step, he may end up in an eternal situation. When dealing with these military generals during this period, Wu Xiang is now firmly thinking that this time he will do it. The choice is the wisest and wisest choice in his life.
At the same time, Wu Xiang's admiration for Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of the big and middle school, can also be said to be five bodies. In his eyes, although Xiao Tianjian, the big and middle emperor, seems to be a little unspeakable, now Xiao Tianjian, the emperor, is indeed an emperor. He can lead troops from Nanjing City to Shanhaiguan. For an emperor, it is extremely valuable. It is definitely a standard emperor. However, he didn't expect that today, the Dazhong army went out of the customs and fought against Jiannu. Xiao Tiangui was the head of a country. Unexpectedly, he did not stay in Shanhaiguan to dispatch troops to watch the battle under his command, but resolutely went out in person and led the army. Killed out of the barrier.
For an emperor, this is almost impossible. Some people will definitely say that it is unwise for Xiao Tianjian to do so. As his identity, he is in danger. Once he encounters something unexpected, it is undoubtedly a disaster for the soldiers and horses under his command and his Dazhong Dynasty, but this kind of thing is also a few words. According to the soldiers in Shanhaiguan, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Tianjian's behavior. Although they once advised Xiao Tianjian not to go out of the customs, after being resolutely rejected by Xiao Tianjian, everyone can see how much Xiao Tianjian did this to boost the morale of the Dazhong Army. Function.
Let any soldier of the large and medium-sized army think about it. Their emperor will fight with them on such a battlefield. Who is not moved to stand among them? Who will spare his life? From this point alone, Wu Xiang had to admire Xiao Tianjian's courage. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the founding emperor Zhu Chongba, I'm afraid only Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who robbed the throne of his nephew Jianwen, personally carried a knife in battle. Since then, no emperor has ever done such a thing! What's more, even if Zhu Chongba and Zhu Di ascended the throne and became emperor, they did not carry a knife in person! However, Xiao Tianjian, the emperor, is really strange. Now he has reached this status, but he still resolutely led his troops to fight. Thinking about the soldiers under his command, if they don't work hard for this, it's really strange.
Just as Wu Xiang stood on the tower of Shanhaiguan and watched Xiao Tianjian personally lead the army out of the customs, all the Jiannu army in the distance were also nervously watching in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
Even Emperor Taiji Jiannu, also rode a fat and strong war horse at this time (the weight of more than 300 catties, I guess I can't support him if I don't ride such a war horse!). Far away, after the Jiannu army, I watched the scene of the Shanhaiguan Dazhong army out of the customs.
When he saw the dragon flag representing the Dazhong Dynasty appearing outside the customs, even Huang Taiji couldn't help admiring the courage of Xiao Tianjian, the enemy.
At this point, he thinks that Xiao Tianjian, the emperor of Dazhong, is still in a match between him and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. At least he, the emperor of Dazhong, did not hide in Shanhaiguan to watch the battle. When he met such an opponent, he did not know how to evaluate the other party, but what he can confirm is that today he met the strongest in his life. Strong opponent.
Especially looking at the large and medium-sized army coming out of the fish, it quickly formed outside the gate like an arm's finger, and almost completed the assembly under the gate at a dazzling speed, which made Huang Taiji even more palpitated. He also followed his father's wild boar skin on an expedition since he was a child, and experienced countless big battles. He has never seen nothing. Counts of the Ming army, the Mongols and the soldiers and horses of North Korea, but there has never been an army that can be so moraleful and well-trained like the big and medium-sized army in front of them. Even the Jianzhou Erlang, whom he has always been proud of, can't be like the big and medium-sized army at such a fast speed. The action of exit and assembly has been completed.
Originally, after he made a plan, he thought that when the Dazhong army had not yet completed the assembly and was in chaos, he ordered the strongest cavalry under his command to attack the Dazhong army and kill them first. However, when he saw that the Dazhong army had exited the customs in such an orderly manner and cooperated with each other to complete this collection seamlessly. After the end, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Now he knows why Dorgeon has been defeated and frustrated in front of this large and medium-sized army. I'm afraid that anyone who encounters such a strong opponent can't get much benefit in front of the big and medium-sized army, and he also understands why Xiao Tianjian can send him out in one mouth. The troops of Abatai and Haoge have been swallowed up. With the strength shown to him by the Dazhong army today, the soldiers and horses of all ethnic groups put together by Abatai and Haoge alone can't compete with the Dazhong army at all, and their failure is also normal.
Therefore, after seeing the action of the Dazhong army gathering out of the customs, Huang Taiji, even if he dispelled the idea of the cavalry under his command to raid the Dazhong army, and decisively rejected the invitation of the generals such as Dai Shan and other generals under his command, so that he was a little calm and not impatient. He waited for the Dazhong army to get out of the customs, and then faced the Dazhong army in a dignified way, and had a fair match with the Dazhong army. The duel.
After the order of the emperor Taiji passed down one by one, the soldiers and horses on Jiannu's side also began to be mobilized. With the swing of the flag, as well as the sound of the messengers, the soldiers began to form formation one after another.
This time, Huang Taiji arranged the Wuzhen Chaoha camp under the command of King Geng Zhongming of Huaishun, Kong Youde, the king of Gongshun, and Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun, all arranged in front of the army of the Jiannu army. After that, the soldiers and horses of the Mongolian flags were arranged one after another, and the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Manchuria were put at the end.
The reason why Huang Taiji arranged this is that his heart can be killed to the extreme. Although he has the intention to win this battle, Huang Taiji is not very sure about winning, and his main purpose is to take advantage of this battle to consume the strength of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners, even if this They can't win a battle, and they also lose these Han and Mongolians. Their flagmen of Manchuria can still preserve their strength. Even if they retreat to Liaodong, their Manchuria juvzhen can still dominate and firmly control the situation outside the customs.
Huang Taiji's sinister intentions can be said to be obvious. Everyone sees it clearly, but those Han soldiers and Mongolian flag soldiers have no way to do anything about his arrangement. They can only act according to the order. Otherwise, they know very well that they did not die in the hands of the Dazhong army, and now they will be immediately returned to the emperor. Taiji dragged it down and killed it on the grounds of disrespecting the order.
So the two armies began to open their posture outside Shanhaiguan, and with the sound of the horns and drums of the two armies, both sides began to slowly approach each other.
Wuzhen Chaoha means heavy army in Manchu. After Jiannu rose up, he had been mainly cavalry, supplemented by troops, and his equipment was basically cold weapons such as bows, crossbows, knives and guns. There were very few firearms, but Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi's rebellions. For Jiannu, it made They have obtained the most advanced artillery technology of this era and Han soldiers who are familiar with the operation and training of firearms such as artillery and muskets, which is undoubtedly very important for Jiannu to obtain stronger offensive ability.
Before the king of Sanshun defected to Jiannu, they were all Mao Wenlong's subordinates. Later, after Mao Wenlong was unjustly killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the Dongjiang army that Mao Wenlong worked hard to build was immediately divided. Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and other Mao Wenlong's old subordinates defected to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Laiwu at that time.
In fact, most people are familiar with Sun Yuanhua. He is not only a literati in the Ming Dynasty, but also an alien among literati. Like Xu Guangqi, he is not only familiar with Sinology, but also knows Western studies. He has made great achievements in geometry and algebra, and they are all proficient in artillery and gun technology and these fire. The application of weapons also believes in Western Catholicism, and strongly promotes artillery and various firearms in the army, so as to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and guard against the Jiannu army outside the customs.
Therefore, when Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Laiwu, he strengthened his training, cast a large number of artillery and built all kinds of firearms. Among them, firearms, mainly bird guns, became the main weapons of the Ming army under his command. After Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and Shang Ke returned to his command, their subordinates were equipped with all kinds of artillery in large quantities. It can be said that the soldiers and horses with the largest number of firearms and equipment in the Ming army at that time were also the soldiers and horses with strong combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, Sun Yuanhua's ability to control the troops is not very good. He only knows how to supervise the construction of firearms and intensify the training of soldiers, but he neglected to prevent these generals. Later, only because of the problem of supplies and the contradiction between their Shandong Army and the Liaodong Army, Kong Youde led his troops to rebel. In the end, although they caught Sun Yuanhua, but For the sake of Sun Yuanhua's good to them, he did not kill Sun Yuanhua and let him go. However, Sun Yuanhua was finally ordered to cut off his head by Chongzhen, which made this famous scientist die with injustice at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, although under the encirclement and suppression of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, he defeated Dengzhou and other places in Laizhou, the King of Sanshun finally took the remnants and wrapped up many Ming Dynasty craftsmen who cast cannons in Dengzhou and Laizhou at that time betrayed Jiannu, which made Jiannu have this era from then on. The best cannon casting technology has greatly enhanced the strength of Jiannu.
Huang Taiji attached great importance to the rebellion of Kong, Geng and Shang, and it can be said that he was overjoyed. He immediately made them king, and returned their old troops and captured Ming soldiers to them, which made them set up the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, which means heavy soldiers, which was also the earliest predecessor of the Han military flag.
