Chapter eight hundred and ninety-two cold wind and hot blood cast heroic soul (fourteen)
In the camp of the White Banner east of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty commander Bele Dorgon received an urgent report from Beile Mangurtai, the main force of the Qing Dynasty, who was equipped with a firearmed gun in the Slave Army. Nearly 10,000 people in the unit were cavalry, and the head commander of the Ming army was Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda of the Ming Dynasty. The literary newspaper of Mangurtai said that after the main force of the Qing Dynasty annihilated most of the Wanquandusi cavalry, the Han army's blue flag failed to block the attack of the Ming army, so that the Ming army successfully broke through the Han army's blue flag defense zone. In this battle, the Qing Dynasty had more than 6,000 soldiers killed and injured, and 2,700 people were killed and killed. This urgent report from Mangurtai made Dorgon die disgusted. It was not necessary to look at the urgent reports from others that Dorgon could infer Mangurtai's sinister intentions.
This Mangurtai obviously posed a problem for Dorgon, which was to see how Dorgon dealt with the defeated Han army's defeated blue flag Meilezhangjing Aldai. If Dorgon handled it improperly, he would seriously attack his authority in leading troops in the Qing Dynasty. Dorgon adopted the strategy that the following article severely rebuked Meilezhangjing Aldai's unfavorable command, resulting in the defeat of the Han army in the Lan Banner, and deprived him of Meilezhangjing's official position and demoted to Jialazhangjing. Dorgon then commended Mangurtai in the newspaper to annihilate the Ming Dynasty.
The achievements of the cavalry of the Wanquandushi of Junshi reported the achievements of Mangourtai to the Qing emperor Huang Taiji for his request for merit. In the newspaper, Dorgon also pointed out that the Han army's invaded blue flag Beile Duoduo was inappropriate to use personnel, and ordered Duoduo to strictly discipline Jialazhangjing Aldai to make meritorious contributions. Dorgon's official article was reasonable and well-founded. He not only dealt with the crime of defeat of the Han army's invaded blue flag, but he was always arrogant and polite, but also asked for meritorious contributions to Mangourtai to shut up.
In the newspaper, Dorgon mentioned that Belemanguertai was the commander of the battle. Under the leadership of Belemanguertai, the battlefield was arranged perfectly, and all military achievements were obtained by the main cavalry of the Inlaid Blue Banner. Dorgon was also a master of politics. In the newspaper commending Manguertai, he hinted that the main general of this battle was Manguertai, and the basket you commanded had an unshirkable responsibility as the main general. Dorgon used this to secretly warn Manguertai that he had done everything you did on the battlefield. Dorgon had seen through everything you did on the battlefield, and should not be too arrogant to continue to suppress the Han army's Inlaid Blue Banner Beiledodo. Since Manguertai was like a villain, Dorgon did not intend to be a gentleman. He wanted to make Manguertai pay the price in this robbery feast.
As the commander of the Qing Dynasty's invasion of the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon had the right to submit a secret message to Huang Taiji. So Dorgon wrote the newspaper of the Enanguinong Red Flag Army and the newspaper of the Han Army Enanguinong Blue Flag Army. Dorgon admitted in the secret message that once the main force of the Qing Dynasty went deep into the southern part of Zhili to fight, no one dared to fight with peace of mind with the general who fought in the front of the rear. Dorgon proposed that the Mangourtai Lan Banner was transferred to the line of Gubeikou, and the Zhenghong Banner Beile Daishan presided over the war in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. After dealing with the internal struggle, Dorgon had to consider the next attack strategy. Zhili was robbed by the Qing Dynasty, and there was no oil or water in the east and west. If you want to obtain more wealth and materials, you must try to fight south along the canal.
However, in the battle of siege and breakthrough in the southeast of the Aries Institute, the powerful combat power of the Tianxiong Camp led by the Governor of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng made Dorgon feel as if he could not annihilate the Tianxiong Camp. How could Dorgon be able to attack south with confidence if he could not annihilate the Tianxiong Camp. Dorgon's strategy was very simple to deal with the strong army under Lu Xiangsheng. He planned to first take his arms and then find a way to make the Tianxiong Camp alone, and then gather heavy troops in the wild to encircle and annihilate Lu Xiangsheng Tianxiong Camp. Regarding Lu Xiangsheng's experience, the Luanyi Guard of the Qing Dynasty had detailed information on the spy. Dorgon had carefully read all the spies of Luanyi Guard, and he knew the qualifications of all the generals in the Slave-Breaking Army. According to the spies sent by Yan Zhuocheng, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiangsheng had two armies around him, one was the Shanxi General Yang Guozhu, and the other was the army led by Wang Pu, the general of Datong General.
Based on past intelligence, Dorgon learned that Wang Pu belonged to a group of officials of the fox and wolf Zhang Ping'an. He believed that the Datong border army led by Wang Pu would listen to Lu Xiangsheng even if he could not fight. For this reason, Dorgon wrote a secret letter to Yan Zhuocheng, hoping that Yan Zhuocheng would find a way to let Wang Pu stay near the capital. If he wanted to mobilize the army led by Lu Xiangsheng, the best way was to make the Ming court feel pain. This required Dorgon to lead the main force of the Qing Dynasty to attack south, and Dorgon initially determined that the attack was Dezhou in Shandong. For this reason, more than ten days later, Dorgon convened an army discussion, and he took out a set of strategies to fight the siege and annihilate all the Ming army during the march. In order to achieve his battle goal, Dorgon ordered the Beiledudu, the Inlaid White Banner, to lead his main cavalry to advance to the Zhili Baoding Prefecture as a vanguard.
The Han army's Inlaid White Banner Beile Abatai followed the Inlaid White Banner to serve as the front army of the Qing Dynasty. The Han army led by Tabai went to Hejian Prefecture to guard the left wing of the front army. The main force of the Zhengbai Banner 30,000 cavalry and the two Mongolian red flags 50,000 cavalry formed the central force, and specifically attacked any reinforcement army of the Ming army with its advantage of rapid attack. The matter of cutting the rear of the army was handed over to the Zhenglan Banner Beile Amin. He will lead the two Mongolian red flags 30,000 cavalry of the Zhengbai Banner Yu, mainly to cut off the retreat route of the Ming army entangled by the main force of the Zhengbai Banner. The Zhenghong Banner Beile Daishan and Wuzhenchao Haying Beile Babutai continued to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, forcing the army of the kings in various parts of the capital to not move. Dorgon also handed over the military power after the attack to Daishan. He believed that Daishan was better than the villain Manguertai, who was in charge of the rear.
The 30,000 cavalry under the command of Beile Luoluohong of the Inlaid Red Flag will set off three days later than Zhenglan Banner to prepare for the army. Dorgon specially left the right wing of the Qing attacking army, and wanted to wait for the Ming army to take the bait, so that the Qing army could complete the plan to surround the site and attack the aid. Dorgon's strategy of sending troops was unanimously supported by the Qing generals attending the meeting. After all, driving away the scourge of Mangurtai is in line with everyone's political interests. They admired Dorgon's plan to annihilate the Ming army in the field, and siege was never the strong point of the female cavalry. As the main force of the Qing Dynasty gradually left the capital of the Ming Dynasty and attacked southward, the Ming court was already as chaotic as an ant. A few days ago, the Governor of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng reported the victory, defeated tens of thousands of Jiannu's army in the field battle southeast of the Aries Institute, and rescued more than 2,600 cavalrymen in the Wanquandushi.
Lu Xiangsheng's good news suddenly appeared in the sorrow of defeat in the court, which made the Ming court, who had been used to hearing the urgent reports of failure all day, see the dawn of victory. It was this good news that aroused the jealousy of many people. Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the regiment camp's military supervisor, was the most obvious. Last time, the capital regiment camp was stationed outside the south city, and was fought by the Jiannu Zhengbai Banner and the Enanghong Banner cavalry. After the war, Gao Qiqian was severely rebuked by Emperor Chongzhen. What made Gao Qiqian even more unbearable was that when the Ponu Army finally surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Enanghong Banner, the Order Camp's official army was not allowed to obtain any military achievements. No one of the generals of the capital's official army knew that Gao Qiqian, an eggless castrator, and Zhang Ping'an, the Ponu Hou, would not deal with him. If Ponu Hou did not want anyone to feel comfortable, even Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian would not be able to do anything.
Originally, Gao Qiqian took advantage of his reputation as a close minister of Emperor Chongzhen to win over all the generals of the regiment camp. Unexpectedly, Ponu Hou was not interested in Gao Qiqian, and also implicated the generals of the regiment camp to make cheap military achievements. After the war, although Gao Qiqian used all kinds of means, he still failed to obtain the support of the generals of the regiment camp. Without the maintenance of these generals with deep background, Gao Qiqian's resistance to making money was naturally much greater. The eunuchs in the inner court lacked items for men to pass on their family line. Their desire was nothing more than a desire for gold, silver and status. Gao Qiqian's inner hatred for Zhang Ping'an was like killing his imagined son. Let Gao Qiqian directly take revenge on Zhang Ping'an. This castrate not only had no eggs but also had no courage, but even Gao Qiqian did not dare to think about the more than a dozen guards left by Zhangjiazhuang outside Xizhimen.
What Gao Qiqian was afraid of was that the Marquis of Ponu Zhang Ping'an was in a bad heart. It was easy for this fox wolf to kill him. Gao Qiqian had no courage to find trouble for the Marquis of Ponu Zhang Ping'an, which did not mean that he would admit defeat. Gao Qiqian turned his revenge on Zhang Ping'an into the Governor of Xuanda Lu Xiangsheng. In Gao Qiqian's view, Lu Xiangsheng was too upright, which was Lu Xiangsheng's advantage and his weakness. There were still many upright people in the Ming Dynasty. The biggest flaw of this type of people was that they would obey the will of the court and the emperor regardless of right or wrong, so that they would go east, such Donglin Party members who believed they were loyal ministers, would never go west. Gao Qiqian was well aware of the official rules of promoting first and then suppressing. He wrote secret letters to Emperor Chongzhen, and praised Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Camp as the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty.
In the memorial of Gao Qiqian to Emperor Chongzhen, it was not concealed that the silver pay of Tianxiong camp came from the so-called loyal minister Ponuhou. Gao Qiqian also specifically pointed out that Lu Xiangsheng was using the silver given by Ponuhou Zhang Ping'an to support the private army. Gao Qiqian had been around Emperor Chongzhen for more than ten years, and he knew very well that the emperor's inner fear. What Emperor Chongzhen was most afraid of was that the Ming Dynasty would issue another prince who was not controlled by the court. Gao Qiqian's memorial directly hit the weak points of Emperor Chongzhen's heart. Similarly, Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, who was most trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, also gave Emperor Chongzhen a memorial, and the content of the memorial was similar to Gao Qiqian. He believed that Lu Xiangsheng accepted the money given by Ponuhou to support the cavalry of Tianxiong camp, and in time, he would definitely become a confidant of the court.
