In this very warm house, Nalan Xingde heard some words that made his hands and feet cold.The person who said this was none other than Zhuge Sanhe who knew fortune-telling best.
This frightened Nalan Xingde!
Because he knew that this fat Zhuge did not make a mistake...he did have a bloody disaster!He said that he was ordered by Emperor Kangxi to deceive this Zhuge military adviser who can pinch and count.As long as he told the nonsense, and Fat Zhuge calculated it, he would immediately know that he was lying and deceiving others, and of course he would order someone to drag him out and behead him!
This bloody disaster can't run away at all!
Thinking of this, Neng Nalan Xingde's calf trembled, and he knelt down to Zhuge Sanhe with a plop, "Prime Minister, help..."
Zhuge Sanhe pretended to be waving his goose-feather fan, and made eye contact with Zhuge Zhengyang, Su Zhanhai, Zhao Hongkui, and Lin Ahu, the four military admirals who were in the same room with him——he really cheated!
Then Lin Ahu, who was the most vicious, said, "If you want to live, tell the truth, how did Kang Mazi tell you to lie to us?"
Su Zhanhai also said with a serious face, "Tell me... Is Kang Mazi trying to trick us into going to Xinye to lay an ambush?"
Zhao Hongkui laughed loudly and said, "Everything is in the prime minister's ingenious calculation!"
Zhuge Zhengyang smiled and said: "Be careful, it's a bloody disaster!"
At this time, Zhuge Sanhe had an expression that everything was under control, and said to Nalan Xingde with a smile: "Speak...don't try to deceive the old man. And it is useless to deceive, because it is God's will, Kangxi is doomed , he will soon be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty!
Because the Great Tomorrow Soldiers in Liaodong have already started to mobilize!Even if Kangxi could succeed in Xinye, Wang Fuchen couldn't resist Daming's [-] heavenly soldiers. Once Shanhaiguan was broken, what else could Kangxi do?Nalan Xingde, you have to think clearly, can your body and bones withstand the bitter cold of the Saibei grassland? "
Sure enough, everyone saw through it!
Nalan Xingde originally treated Zhuge Sanhe as a half-immortal, and of course he is more convinced now. In order to save his life, he did not dare to lie to others to be an immortal anymore, so he told him exactly what he knew about Emperor Kangxi. All the plots were confessed.
Of course, Emperor Kangxi would not let Nalan Xingde know the specific deployment, he just asked Nalan Xingde to tell Zhuge San and Xinye that there were not many soldiers and their defenses were not strict.Moreover, Kangxi also released news that he was going back to Beijing for the New Year, and by the way, he would also invite the Empress Dowager Bumbutai to go to Jingzhaofu City to "burn incense" after the New Year...
In short, it has the same meaning, Xinye is empty, if Zhuge Daxian wants to fight, hurry up, let's do it in these worlds during the Chinese New Year!
……
"My lord, the six hundred miles sent by Lumen Mountain should be expedited!"
It was already December 25th in the year of the Great Era when Yan Yuan walked into Zhu Hechi's big study in the enclosure of the Wuyingying Hall with Zhuge Sanhe's [-] Li urgently sent by the Military Advisor's Office.
It's New Years in a few days!
However, when the New Year was approaching, there was not much festive atmosphere in Zhu Heqi's big study room, instead it was filled with the unique tension before the Great War.
That's right, Zhu and Chi's courts have launched a cold season offensive!
Moreover, this cold season offensive was not launched on the Huaibei battlefield, but on the colder Liaodong battlefield.
In fact, the offensive of the Liaodong Ming army had already begun.In the spring and autumn of this year, they captured the two mountain cities of Beisha City and Deliying City respectively, and then advanced all the way to Dupanzhai near Gaiping.While encircling the dustpan village, Xiongyue City by the Xiongyue River was also restored, and before the Xiongyue River was frozen, a large amount of grain and grass were transported from Jinzhou (Jinzhou Peninsula) to Xiongyuecheng for storage through waterways, so that it could be stored in this winter. Before the land in Liaodong thawed in spring, an offensive aimed at breaking Shanhaiguan was launched.
In order to implement this cold season combat plan, the Ming army on the Liaodong Peninsula has increased to 12 this autumn-part of the Ming army stationed in North Korea has now arrived in Liaodong.
Now 12 of the [-] Ming army are besieging the dustpan village... Once the dustpan village is broken by the Ming army.Then the three fortresses arranged by Kangxi on the Liaodong Peninsula were all broken by the Ming army.
On the long distance of more than [-] miles from Duojizhai to Shanhaiguan, there is no longer a large stronghold of the Qing army heavily fortified.
And the only thing that can stop the Ming army from going out of Shanhaiguan is the icy and snowy climate and the distance of seven hundred miles...
In fact, the distance of 20 miles is nothing, and it will be completed in [-] days to one month.The cold climate has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Ba Hai, the general of Shengjing on the Qing Yao side, would never have thought that the "cold" Ming army would brave the wind and cold and send troops in such a cold day...so Most of the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army under his command are enjoying the tranquility before the war in their own farm near Shengjing City!
Even if he knew that the Liaodong Ming army had suddenly moved westward, he had no time to call up the army and could only watch Shanhaiguan fail.
And once Shanhaiguan misses, then Kangxi can only choose between Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty and "Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty"!
Because Liaodong's cold season offensive has already been launched - there is no telegraph now, and the traffic between Liaodong and Nanjing is by sea, so Zhu Heqi's court has no way to command remotely, and there is no way to coordinate Huguang and Liaodong. The two armies can only be fought by the governors and admirals of Liaodong, such as Liu Jinzhong, Su Zhanshan and Ling Zongjun.
So Zhu Heqi has become a spectator now, but the spectator is sometimes more nervous than the generals on the front line... So during this period of time, he has no intention of interfering with the government. Discuss the military situation together.
"Your Majesty!" Yu Xiaoqian took the report from Yan Yuan, and when he opened it, his face was filled with joy, "Prime Minister Zhuge said in the report that Kangxi has sent troops to Xinye...he is going to fight with Prime Minister Zhuge in Xinye, It’s really asking for death!”
Chapter 635 Kang Mazi ambush Xinye, Ming soldiers are about to enter the pass!
"Xinye... Cangtai... Weijiaji..."
Emperor Kangxi with his hands behind his back paced around a large map on the floor in his south study, muttering a few words while walking.This map is the geographical situation map of Nanyang Prefecture.In Xinye City, Cangtai Town, and Weijiaji, there are densely packed numbers of the armies.
If Xinye, Cangtai, and Weijiaji are connected online, they will almost form an equilateral triangle.Among them, the corner of Xinye is located in the north, Cangtai is in the southeast, and Weijiaji is in the southwest.And these three places are now where Emperor Kangxi's ambush was!
Emperor Kangxi pieced together an army of 13 for this battle.These 13 troops formed another fifteen Gushans, of which there were ten Gushans of the Eight Banners New Army, one Gushan of the Green Camp, and four Gushans of the Mongolian cavalry.In order to encircle and destroy Zhuge Sanhe's Ming army in Xinye, Kangxi spent a lot of money on ten Gushan Mountains-including nine Eight Banners New Army Gushan Mountains and one Green Camp Gushan Mountain.
These ten Gushans have a large establishment of [-] people. Two of them participated in the Battle of Wulin and suffered heavy losses, but now they have added green battalion soldiers, which can be regarded as a full number of people.Now four of the ten Gushan are in ambush in Xinye City, and the remaining six are divided into two, hiding in Cangtai and Weijiaji, two once large but now quite deserted towns.
The reason why Kangxi divided these ten Gushan mountains into three parts and ambushed them into Xinye County and Cangtai and Weijiaji, of course, was to prevent them from being discovered by "heavenly soldiers".Without the existence of these "heavenly soldiers", it would have been much easier for the Qing army to conduct mobile warfare and ambush warfare in the flat and open Nanyang Basin.Because they have more and stronger cavalry, they can completely cover the troops.
But now that the Ming army is in the sky, it is difficult for Kangxi's army to hide.They either choose to operate at night, or they have to enter the ambush position in advance.Otherwise, it would be difficult to ensure the suddenness of the ambush... Once the suddenness is lost, the Ming army can retreat very calmly, back to their camp in Lianghekou Town, or build fortifications on the spot and wait for help.
Considering the superiority of the Ming army, it is entirely possible that they will deploy more troops to reinforce the besieged northbound troops.However, the number of the Qing army is small. Once the opponent comes to the center to bloom and surround it on all sides, it will be over... At that time, Kangxi will have to choose between "Shun Emperor" and "Chongzhen"!
Therefore, after Kangxi determined that the target of the Ming army was Xinye instead of Nanyang or other places, he sent ten elite soldiers from Gushan to Xinye, Cangtai, and Weijiaji by means of day and night travel. lurking.
The remaining Eight Banners New Army Gushan (Zhenghuang Banner Central Army) and the Four Mongolian Cavalry Gushan, with a total of more than [-] people, were concentrated in Nanyang as the general reserve.
None of the four Nanshufang ministers and bachelors, Li Wei, Du Lide, Feng Pu, and Mingzhu, led the troops, so they were all kneeling beside the big map in the Nanshufang at the moment.The spanked Mingzhu was still holding on to a walking stick, and his eyes were full of tears, which made people feel sympathetic - his tears were not for his own butt, but for his precious son Nalan Xing De cry.Nalan Xingde was taken hostage by Fat Zhuge... Once Fat Zhuge found out that he had been duped, he would definitely chop Xingde off.
So this Nalan Pearl has already lost a son!
When Nalan Mingzhu was sad, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the South Study, and then he saw Duoyuan, the head of the guards, rushing in.Duolong bowed to Kangxi first, and then handed over a sealed document with both hands, saying: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent military request sent by Prince Kang from Xinye."
Prince Kang Aixinjueluo Jieshu is the king of iron hats, and his Prince Kang is actually the Prince of Li passed down from Daishan, which can be hereditary and irreplaceable.
After Yue Le lost the battle of Wulin, he logically replaced Yue Le and became Aixinjueluo's "chief general".Now the ten Gushans deployed in Xinye, Cangtai, and Weijiaji are all controlled by him!
In addition, Yue Le and Tong Guogang led the Qing troops in Cangtai and Weijiaji respectively.
"Should it be the rebels?" Kangxi took the document, unpacked it, and said calmly, "Although Zhuge Sanhe has an army of 10,000+, he must allocate half of his troops to surround Xiangfan. At least half of them..." Kangxi suddenly fell silent while speaking, and frowned slightly.
The South Study Room immediately became quiet, and after a while, Mingzhu finally couldn't help asking cautiously: "Long Live Lord, Zhuge Sanhe has sent troops?"
"We have dispatched troops... [-] troops have been dispatched, carrying the governor's banner of Zhuge Sanhe and the king's banner of Xingwu County, marching step by step along the Baihe River."
"Stand by step?" Mingzhu's heart was pounding, "Long Live Lord, Zhuge has only been cautious in his life...Zhuge Sanhe has always been cautious in using troops. If it was Zhu Heqishang, he might be attacking Xinye now."
"That's right." Kangxi nodded, "This Zhuge Sanhe played very slowly in Anqing back then, and he didn't let go of his hands and feet this time around Xiangfan."
"Emperor Shengming."
Kangxi thought for a while, and then said: "Decree to Prince Kang... let him send troops tomorrow night!"
"Tomorrow night?" Mingzhu reminded, "Long live, if Zhuge Sanhe keeps going every step of the way, the hundred-mile road from Lianghekou Daying to Xinye may take three days."
Kangxi waved his hand, "We can't let him reach the city of Xinye... This Zhuge likes to build strongholds very much. Then he will definitely build a stronghold that we can't even chew on!"
Mingzhu thought for a while, and felt that Kangxi was becoming more and more wise, so she sent another flattery: "The emperor is wise!"
Kangxi breathed out, and said to himself: "Whether you are holy or not, it depends on whether you can win..."
That's right, if you lose, you will be Qing Shun Emperor, how can you be holy?
……
In the year of the Great Duke, at the end of December, the end of the year is approaching.
At this time, the land in the Northeast was frozen hardest. The area around the mouth of the Liaohe River, which was densely covered with river branches and wetlands, was all silvery white, and all of them were frozen into a flat river.Although the cold wind was like a blade and the temperature was extremely low, the march went smoothly.On the frozen black land near the mouth of the Liaohe River, a long blue dragon was rolling forward. Infantry, cavalry, heavy soldiers, artillery, engineers, and civilians recruited from Tianwang City in Jinzhou, Eastern Liaodong, and I don’t know where they came from The Mongols who came here drove the mules and horses and carts all the way west.
When the troops finally set up their camps, they didn’t need to set up any strongholds. They only needed to surround the four-wheeled carts that accompanied the army, and then moved the sacks of rice noodles on the carts to the bases, and put them on the outside. A round of refusal to carbine is enough.
The reason why they can be so "sloppy" is that the surrender of Wu Yingqi, Ma Bao, and Burni brought nearly [-] cavalry to the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Liaodong Ming Army already had a relatively large number of cavalry, and with the cavalry brought by Wu Yingqi, Ma Bao, and Burni, they could already gather a cavalry regiment of tens of thousands of cavalry!
This amount is enough for Ba Hai, the general of Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty, and Wang Fuchen, the general of Liaodong, to drink a pot.
In fact, with these tens of thousands of elite cavalry, the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Ba Hai and Wang Fuchen could not get close to the Ming army brigade that was advancing westward.
Therefore, these two now have no way of knowing the number, equipment, marching direction and specific location of the Ming army brigade.
When they find out, these Ming troops outside the pass will soon be in front of Shanhaiguan!
And the number of Ming troops along the way, excluding the accompanying civilian husbands and Mongolian herdsmen, was also over one hundred thousand!When Dorgon entered the customs aggressively and robbed the world, he had this number of soldiers and horses.
Therefore, Liu Jinzhong, Zhao Zhongyi, Su Zhanshan, Ling Zongjun, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and others who lead this army all believe that as long as Wang Fuchen is not crazy, he will be "Wang Sangui"!
Chapter 636 Liu Xuanchu went to talk about Wang Fuchen, Fat Zhuge divided his troops to capture Kangxi!
After setting up camp, the 10,000+ officers, soldiers and civilians of the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty began to bury their pots and prepare dinner.
The food of the Ming army is much better than the "beggar's version of the Ming army" in the early years - the new Ming Dynasty is rich!And because Daming now has less people and more land, the land that can feed 4000 million people can be used by [-] million people, so the supply of various agricultural products is very sufficient, and the prices are relatively low.
Under such favorable external conditions, the new Ming army, whose internal management is still very strict, can naturally provide good food for their soldiers.Especially when marching and fighting, at least three meals can be guaranteed every day, and one meal has meat... Only in this way can the soldiers have enough nutrition to ensure marching and fighting.
Liaodong Governor Liu Jinzhong and Liaodong Admiral Zhao Zhongyi, two veterans who served in the former Ming army, are now walking around the army with their hands behind their backs in accordance with relevant regulations.They are supervising the eating of the people below - the people below are the collars, sitting around the field pot stove, and are eating steamingly while warming the fire.
The food for the big guys today is white flour steamed buns with pickles and broth, a small piece of pork for each person, and a bowl of white wine for warming up.
The whole camp was filled with the smell of meat, wine and pasta.It smelled that both Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Zhongyi were hungry—they could eat small stoves when they were stationed, but they were not treated that way when they were marching and fighting, and had to share weal and woe with the people below!
So their meals are the same, only with a little more meat and a pot of wine.
And this rule is not just talking about it, it is really to be implemented!
If they took the lead in breaking the law, the young officers from the Whampoa-Xiaolingwei Military Academy below might not be used to it, and they might report them.
Although Zhu and Qi will not dismiss them because of this matter, criticism is still inevitable... Where does this make them lose face?
So it's better to stick to the rules and just be a senior in the military...
Although these two are senior generals at the admiral level, they are "lonely" in the army.These "old warlords" are not worth mentioning in front of a steady stream of high-quality military school graduates.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Zhongyi, a veteran who escaped from Henan with the king of heaven, is not even as powerful as his son Zhao Hongkui in the army.
At any rate, Zhao Hongkui still has a group of classmates and students who can hold a group and form a small faction.And people like Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Zhongyi are just "puppets" of the young officers below.
Although the two felt that they had been excluded, they were a little unhappy, but they also had to admit that the military students who followed the rules were still very capable.
Just because the food for this army is placed in the army in the later stage, probably only the servants can eat it!
If Daming back then could have the [-] "four-legged elite" with enough salary, enough food, enough equipment, and enough training in front of him, the Qing monsters would not be able to enter the Great Wall at all, and the bandits from all walks of life would not be worth mentioning.
Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Zhongyi had finished their routine inspections, and returned to the Chinese army's big tent that had been lit and warm.A long dining table has been set up inside, and a group of generals of the Ming army and the Mongolian Khan Burni have already sat down at the table, waiting for dinner.Seeing them coming in, everyone stood up and saluted except Burni, who was self-confident.
Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Zhongyi politely greeted them to sit down, and then sat down themselves.
The steamed buns, pork, soup and wine for these senior officers are still hot and have not yet been served.Liu Jinzhong and Liu Xuanchu who returned to Ming Dynasty with Wu Yingqi discussed the matter of lobbying Wang Fuchen.
"Mr. Liu, that Wang Fuchen is a well-known loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty. I heard that Kangxi trusted him very much. Is he really willing to sacrifice Shanhaiguan?"
Wang Fuchen has become a loyal slave of "loyalty spread far and wide"!I guess he didn't think of it a few years ago, right?
"What kind of loyal slave is he?" Liu Xuanchu smiled, "I think he was appointed by Wu Sangui back then to lurk beside Kangxi... It's just that Kangxi didn't see his true face and gave him a high official and rich salary, but he didn't I am willing to rebel. If he was willing to rebel during the Jingzhou battle, he would be gone early in the morning!"
He twirled his beard and said with a smile: "This Wang Fuchen is a profit-seeking businessman. He refused to follow the agreement to join Wu Zhou because Kangxi gave too much. But now Kangxi has become a clay bodhisattva crossing the river. Guaranteed. What reason does he have for not surrendering? If he dares not surrender, how difficult will it be for our [-] troops to storm Shanhaiguan?
But just one Shanhaiguan, Governor, are you satisfied? "
As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Jinzhong's ears perked up, but the other generals in the tent, including Great Khan Burni, all cast interested glances at Liu Xuanchu.
A Shanhaiguan is indeed not enough to "eat"!
Liu Jinzhong asked: "Master Liu, what do you mean..."
"Of course it's the city of Beijing!" Liu Xuanchu said with a smile, "Only the city of Beijing is a truly great achievement... This is an unworldly achievement!"
Shanhaiguan really can't satisfy the appetite of the [-] troops here.Zhu Hexi originally thought that Kangxi would deploy heavy troops in Liaodong, so he spent so much money to form such a huge Liaodong army.
But Kangxi didn't follow his will... This man who was destined to be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty didn't seem to want to go back outside the pass to drink the northwest wind, but was planning to run away to Xi'an for the purpose of hunting in the west.
So the Liaodong Legion is now a little overkill!
It's all a sledgehammer, and it should be done, and there is not much credit for it.
And Beijing is worthy of the great achievements of the Ming army beyond the [-] passes!
"Okay!" Liu Jinzhong said with a smile, "Then Mr. Lao will be here... As long as Wang Fuchen can be our internal response, next spring, we will be able to regain Daming's Beijing Shuntian Mansion!"
……
"Zhengyang, catch Kangxi... this is an unrivaled feat!"
That night, in the Lianghekou Camp of the Huguang Ming Army, thousands of miles away from Liaodong, that Zhuge Sanhe, who could pinch and count, was holding his son Zhuge Zhengyang's hand and whispering about the capture of Kangxi!
It turned out that Zhuge Sanhe didn't go to the battle in person, he just asked Su Zhanhai to use his banner to lead the elite soldiers from the four towns, and pretended to come every step of the way.The purpose is to fish out Kangxi's ambush soldiers.
And as long as Kangxi's ambushes are surrounded and spread out...then Zhuge Zhengyang will lead his troops to bypass Tang County and go north to surprise Nanyang, and the opportunity to arrest or kill Kangxi will come!
"Catch Kangxi?" Zhuge Zhengyang was stunned, "Abba, didn't you say that Kangxi could live to be at least 40 years old, and that there is still Emperor Shun who can be emperor? Can I catch him?"
"Hehe, that's all a lie." Zhuge Sanhe smiled, "As a father, I know that Nalan Xingde will definitely tell Kangxi this... If Kangxi can't be caught in this way, it's good to be angry with him."
