Chapter 104 Xiangwai & Annai
Now he and Chongzhen and the monarchs of all dynasties are facing the same problem, that is, whether it is Xiangwai or Xiannai. For his newly established Dazhong Dynasty, it is not like the Ming Dynasty at all, which has a strong political participation foundation. After so many years of war, not only has the population in China been dramatically reduced. , and whether it is farming or commerce, it is devastated. This time, it can be said that the northern expedition that supported him has drained their already rich foundation. What's more, there are still capitals in the north that have not been conquered, and the Ming Dynasty still exists in name. In addition, because he is eager to go north, he only controls the line of the Grand Canal, Shandong Shang The northeast and Jiaodong Peninsula are still under the control of the Ming government. Although the Ming army in the north has been disabled by him, the remaining forces have always threatened their already thin logistics supply line, and their logistics supply line is now two or three thousand miles long, and many local defense is quite weak.
If he enters Liaodong at this time and seeks to fight to the death with Jiannu, as long as there is a slight problem and the supply line is cut off, it will be a disaster for him.
Along the way, Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about this problem. Even Lu Xiangsheng, who has been trying to destroy Jiannu as soon as possible, also began to consider these problems for Xiao Tianjian. Along the way, he and Li Xin have also discussed with Xiao Tianjian many times what to do next.
When he came here, Xiao Tianjian finally made up his mind to let Jiannu survive for a while. At present, the most important thing for him is to deal with the affairs of the Ming Dynasty first, calm the north as soon as possible, and restore the agriculture and commerce in the north devastated by the disaster of war. Only after the supplies can we send troops out of the customs again to completely eliminate the big trouble of Jiannu.
Originally, Xiao Tianjian hated Chongzhen's idea that he must be safe first, but now when he wanted to take charge of the world, he sadly found that he could not jump out of this strange circle, and even now he has really experienced the difficulties of Chongzhen, no matter who is in charge of the world. I'm afraid he can only make one choice, so he has to give up chasing Jiannu with regret, and even Jinzhou, which is only the next step away, can't concentrate on fighting for the time being.
After listening to this, the generals understood why Xiao Tianjian chose to give up attacking Jinzhou at this time and make them withdraw their troops back to Jining City.
The generals will think it's the same. They have been killing happily these days, but they have not considered the logistical supplies and the miscellaneous things in the customs at all. This time, it has been a month or two since the Yan Chongxi Left Route Army arrived at Shanhaiguan first, and now the army has gathered in the Shanhaiguan area. They have been so many soldiers and horses every day. The consumption is very huge. In addition to meeting their needs, the grain and materials transferred later also need to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people who have just fled from outside the customs in the customs. They can not ask these things and just wait to open their mouths to eat, but Xiao Tianjian, the emperor, can't help but consider these things. Now that they have gone through a series of fierce battles, in fact, the ammunition in the army has almost been consumed. If they want to attack the cities of Jinzhou, they will not make a large-scale supplement. With their current remaining ammunition base, it is far from meeting their needs to capture the cities of Jinzhou.
Now they have come out of Shanhaiguan, and their supply line has been extended by more than 400. If the soldiers reach Jinzhou City, their supply line will reach a distance of five or six hundred miles. At such a long distance, although there are thousands of cavalry of Wang Chengping, the cavalry of Jiannu It is still far more than the large and medium-sized army. It is a nightmare for the large and medium-sized army to cover such a long-distance logistics supply line. Now that Jiannu has been newly defeated, he has not been able to spare his energy to do it. However, once the war in the Jinzhou area continues, Jiannu will definitely use their killer trick. Not to mention defeating Jinzhou City, maybe they will have to fight for it!
Therefore, Xiao Tianjian's worries are not unreasonable. Now Jiannu has returned to their home court to fight. At least they have occupied the land and people, but the Dazhong army is equivalent to fighting in a different place. After all, Jiannu is not the Ming army and can be eaten by them. This battle is destined to be It is a protracted war to maintain such a war. In the case that part of the grain cannot be solved on the spot, it is not a simple thing to rely on the transfer of materials in the customs. After all, this battle is very important and can not be defeated. If there is a little carelessness, they may be defeated or even be destroyed like the Ming army. Outside the customs, I'm afraid that Jiannu will be arrogant again at that time.
"Don't feel sorry. For us, it has exceeded our expectations that this battle can be fought to this level. Originally, our plan to go north this time was just to defend the Shanhaiguan, block the Jiannu army outside the customs, and make it retreat. However, what we are doing now has greatly exceeded. Our original expectation was not only to prevent the Jiannu army from entering the customs, but also annihilate a large number of living forces of Jiannu. This time, the heavy blow to Jiannu, I'm afraid that Jiannu will not have years to make up for it at all!
Their Han army's Eight Banners were almost all solved by us, and the Mongolian Eight Banners were also beaten by us. They fled back to the Mongolian grassland one after another. Although this time we failed to get what we wanted and ate most of the Manchurian Eight Banners, it was equivalent to breaking their left and right arms. Think about Jiannu's defeat in Liaodong. The control power is sure to decline significantly. With their little Jumans, if they want to revive in a short time, I'm afraid it won't be a few years before they can go south to disturb the customs!
As long as we calm the domestic situation as soon as possible, how many years will it take? As long as you give me another three years at most, I will lead you out of the customs again. At that time, I will go straight to build Shengjing and take Liaodong back to our Han people!" When Xiao Tianjian saw that the generals looked much better, he stood up and walked to them and said to them loudly. At the end, he waved his hand vigorously to the north, revealing a momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers.
After listening to it, the generals immediately knelt down and shouted, "The last general (Weichen) will abide by the ora!"
Xiao Tianjian laughed and said, "Get up! You bastards, when you just came back, they all seemed to have stepped on shit! What a posture to ask me for guilt. Now why do I follow the Holy Oracle? Do you still have me in your eyes?"
As soon as the generals heard this, they all bowed their heads and shouted, "The last general dare not! Please forgive your sins!" Liu Yaoben even smiled at Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian turned around in the middle of them, gave each of them a kick on their buttocks, kicked them up, and then turned around and sat down behind the big case.
Luo Li rubbed his buttocks and asked Xiao Tianjian with a smile on his face, "Since the holy will has been decided, the last general should obey, but now that we are taking up the army, is it possible to give up Ningyuan City for so nothing? You should know that this Ningyuan City is a thorn stuck in Jiannu's heart! The emperor won't give it to Jiannu's serfs for nothing!"
After listening to Luo Li's question, Xiao Tianjian turned his head and looked at Lu Xiangsheng and Li Xin and smiled. Luo Li was afraid that he would not be able to fight the war. Now they are dealing with those Ming troops in the customs. It can be said that it is like destroying the dead. The battle is really not strong enough. And this fierce battle of Shanhaiguan made this group The guy has found a feeling, especially Luo Li, who is fighting enthusiastically. These days of pursuit, he is leading the desperate pursuit of the Jiannu army. If it hadn't been for Wang Chengping's cavalry, this guy alone would have been able to win the battle.
So when Luo Li asked about this, Li Xin and Lu Xiangsheng smiled.
Xiao Tianjian stared at Luo Li and shouted to Luo Li, "You bastard, when did I say that I would throw Ningyuan City to Jiannu again? Since you asked about this, all right! I will give this Ningyuan City to you and the first guard division under your command! You can nail it here for me. If you lose Ning Yuan again, let me not cut off your big head and kick it!"
As soon as Luo Li heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He kowtowed his feet and shouted, "The last general will take the order!" Please rest assured that with my Lao Luo, I will not dare to go to Ningyuan City from now on! If you lose Ning Yuan, you don't have to do it. I, Luo Li, chopped off this big head and gave it to Sheng Shang as a night pot!"
After listening to this, the generals in the account suddenly burst into laughter. Xiao Tianjian shook his head and pointed to Luo Li with a wry smile and scolded, "Your head must not be easy to use as a chamber pot. You'd better find a way to keep it!" ......”
Huang Taiji was full of energy and opened the posture in the area of Jinzhou. He was full of energy and wanted to follow the Dazhong army to take advantage of their geographical advantage here and turn the attack into defense and fight with the Dazhong army in the Jinzhou area. However, after a day, he did not wait for the Dazhong army to attack Tashan City, but got Dorgon's. Urgent report, it is said that after chasing Tashan, the Dazhong Army bombarded Tashan City for half a day, and then withdrew and returned to Ningyuan City.
Huang Taiji and many slave chiefs breathed a long sigh of relief. Huang Taiji himself shook even more and almost fell to the ground.
To be honest, these slave chiefs have been frighted by the Dazhong army these days. Even when they go to bed at night, they can dream of the cannon fire of the Dazhong army like a volcanic eruption. This time, although they have retreated to Jinzhou and are ready for a decisive battle, these slave chiefs are all I don't know if they can keep it here. Now their old capital is almost eroded. There are very few cannons in red that were originally regarded by them as their support. Now there are few left. Thinking about the huge number of heavy guns in the Dazhong army, how can they not be afraid as those who have suffered great losses? Question mark Therefore, when they heard the news of the withdrawal of the Dazhong army, all the Jiannu had a sense of relief.
However, Huang Taiji still did not dare to be completely relieved. He was afraid that this would be another treachery of the Dazhong army. Therefore, he specially sent a group of Rangers to explore the news in the area of Ningyuan City. When the Rangers returned, he told Huang Taiji that it was true that the Dazhong Army had withdrawn and returned to the area of Ningyuan. After a rest in Ningyuan, Huang Taiji was completely relieved and secretly called for luck.
