Bloody beacon smoke was rolling wildly among the mountains and rivers in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. Just as Hou Jin's "fraudulent peace" attempt was unexpectedly disrupted by a 7-year-old crown prince who instigated murder.

The battle of Yanshan, which Jin Tiancong Great Khan Huang Taiji considered to be the last battle, has also begun.

In Huang Taiji's mind, this would be the last battle before the peace talks between the Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty... Not only because of Zhuge's "Six Out Curse", but also because from the moment Huang Taiji came out of Yanshan, the Great

The Kingdom of Jin fell into the pit of "fighting at a loss".

I made a loss as soon as I left Yanshan. I thought I could make a fortune by entering the Great Wall - isn't Beizhili, south of the Great Wall, the most prosperous capital of the Ming Dynasty? It should be extremely rich. If you break a county town casually,

Can we get out of the army entrance book?

But who knew that there were no easy targets in the prefectures and counties south of the Great Wall! They were all impregnable by him. Zunhua, Yutian, Jizhou, Pinggu, Shunyi, Changping... We fought all the way, but not a single city was conquered.

!Finally, we met the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was the most courageous of the three armies. They had a fierce battle in front of Tangzhi Mountain and almost killed Daishan!

And the subsequent two out of Yanshan and the third out of Yanshan were even more losses - although the Jin Kingdom gained a lot of benefits from the Mongols and Koreans, but against Zhu Youjian's Ming Dynasty, it was such a loss that it made people cry.

When they were out of Yanshan, Huang Taiji was going to take advantage of Zhu Youjian's opportunity to "catch mice" in Shanxi. Who knew that something would go wrong and he was defeated miserably on both the east and west fronts! Huang Taiji himself sent him away east of Qianli Pine Forest.

There are more than 10,000 people, 8,000 of them are real Manchurians! And Hauge and Amin were also defeated in Jinzhou. Hauge himself was almost killed, and Amin is still besieged...

Although Sichu Yanshan lost money, Huang Taiji felt that he still had another chance to "churn out of Yanshan", so he planned to make good use of it and play a big game again to create a "Chanyuan Alliance", right?

Therefore, Huang Taiji and the entire Jin Dynasty were willing to go all out. Before the Battle of Wuchu Yanshan began, they carried out the most extensive mobilization and took out almost all their capital.

Different from the last time when the four troops came out of Yanshan, they mainly used elite troops to fight. This time, Huang Taiji and Hou Jin's big and small beile changed their thinking and took out the blood accumulated over the years. From the Manchu, Han and Mongolian dynasties, more than 1,400 soldiers

A total of 140,000 troops were recruited in Geniulu!

Of course, these 140,000 troops cannot be concentrated in one route, but are divided into four routes from north to south. At the far north is the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry commanded by Wu Keshan, leader of the Zhaowuda League, stationed at Kureng Lake (Hulunbuir Lake).

), threatening the Chechen Khan tribe of Khalkha Mongolia to attract Zhu Youjian, and Wu Liangha led his troops northward.

The 30,000-strong army led by Dorgon and with the two white flags of Manchuria as the core was placed in the far south. They first entered North Korea's Pingan Road, and then used Pyongyang as their base camp to attack North Korea's Ning'an Road, Hwanghae Road, Gyeonggi Road and other places -

-The lowest goal is to capture half of northern Korea first, and then conquer the southern part of Korea.

The middle route was divided into two marching routes: east and west. Hauge led an army of 10,000 soldiers with Manchurian yellow and blue flags as the core, and stationed in Yizhou. He made a bluff and pretended to break the siege of Jinzhou.

It is for the Middle Road.

Huang Taiji personally led an army of 70,000 people and marched southward along the Laohamulin River, approaching Beining City, an important town in the north of Daning Town in the Ming Dynasty!

If the march route of Houjin's Sili Road army and the planned attack targets are all marked on a map, we can see at a glance how big the conspiracy of Huang Taiji and the Dajin Kingdom is!

Although Huang Taiji was fighting in Yanshan this time, what he was planning was a large Jin Kingdom that included most of the Nurgan Dusi, the land east of the Liao River in Liaodong Town, and the land of the Korean Peninsula!

If he succeeds, then when Zhu Youjian's Ming Dynasty survives the natural disaster and looks back at the Northeast - well, the Jin Kingdom is already so big! Can it still be pacified in five years?

Huang Taiji, who had formulated this big plan, is now leading his army southward along the Laohamulin River, in a posture of attacking Daning Town, in order to attract the main force of Yuan Chonghuan's Jiliao Army to move north...

.Of course, Huang Taiji will not fight a decisive battle with the Ji Liao and Yan Ning armies.

The Ji Liao and Yan Ning armies combined had at least 80,000 people, which was 10,000 more than Huang Taiji's 70,000 people...and the strength of these two armies was not weak. Last time Hauge was in Xiaoling

The riverside suffered a big loss! Huang Taiji did not want another tough battle. Even if he won such a tough battle, the Kingdom of Jin would have to lose 20,000 to 30,000 yuan!

The population is small and we can’t afford to be hurt!

Precisely because he did not want to fight a decisive battle, Huang Taiji took out the rations he had finally saved to fill the army. After the spring sowing in Tiancong's eighth year, he mobilized a total of 140,000 troops - a troop dispatch of this scale, plus at least two

During the month of battle, the materials consumed, especially food and fodder, were astronomical compared to the amount of money left behind!

And among the four directions of this march, only the Korean battlefield presided over by Dorgon can achieve some gains, and the other three directions are definitely "losses"... Therefore, after leaving Yanshan, there must be a battle

Great famine!

Although those who starved to death in the famine of Hou Jin were all Baoyi slaves and so-called civilian households (actually worse than Baoyi), if too many people starve to death, it will still damage the vitality of the Jin Kingdom...

.

In the darkness of the night, Huang Taiji led a few white-armored soldiers and stood up high, looking at the campfires dotting the camp of the army under his command, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

This is a total of 70,000 troops!

Even if Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan merge together, Huang Taiji is confident that he can defeat them... As long as Zhu Youjian and Wu Liangha don't come, Huang Taiji will not be afraid of any enemy with the 70,000 troops here.

!

The one who is afraid now must be Hong Chengchou!

The towns of Yan and Ning led by Hong Chengchou have always been the front line of the Ming Dynasty's fight against Hou Jin. Although there were not many large-scale battles, small-scale contacts occurred every day, and there were also battles with more than 1,000 participants.

occur.

Therefore, Dajin still has some understanding of the situation in Yanning and Ning towns. They know that the army under the jurisdiction of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yanning, consists of about 20,000 Yanning troops and more than 40 military and civilian units with thousands of households...

..More than 40 military and civilian bases may sound scary, as if they can dispatch 40,000 troops, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

Although the thousand-household system created by Zhu Youjianxin is somewhat similar to the military household system in the early Ming Dynasty, it fully considered the military household's ability to bear military service. Under the new military household system, those who bear military service

Military households were no longer farmers and soldiers, but landlords and soldiers.

Therefore, among a thousand households, usually only 100 are military households, and the rest are civilian households. And the arable land occupied by a thousand households is more than 120,000 acres!

Among them, 100,000 acres belong to 100 military households (each family owns at least 1,000 acres), and 20,000 acres belong to 900 civilian households. These 900 civilian households do not have to bear military service, but they have to rent land from military households and pay rent to the military households.

This system may seem a little backward, but it is the only way to ensure that thousands of households in rural areas can firmly occupy territory outside the Great Wall. If military households are allowed to farm and fight, the burden on them will be too heavy.

, it won’t last long at all.

Moreover, operating farming in units of hundreds of households, thousands of households and guards is definitely not as efficient as allocating land directly to military households... 1,000 acres of land is handed over to one regular soldier and one auxiliary soldier, and then serve for a few days, more than

If you calculate money separately, how clear is this?

However, although this method is very sustainable, the number of soldiers in each thousand households is small... In the case of extreme mobilization (a military household usually does not have only one male),

A thousand households can produce 200 soldiers, which is pretty good.

Therefore, the 40 thousand households under Yanning's army could only provide 8,000 people at most, and some guards had to be left behind. Only 5,000 could follow Hong Chengchou into battle.

And it was impossible for all of Hong Chengchou's 20,000 standing troops to be dispatched. Why would they have to leave a few thousand to defend the city?

Therefore, Huang Taiji simply did not believe that Hong Chengchou's army dared to come out to fight!

At this moment, the sound of war horses neighing came from under the hill.

Then I heard my new Baya Lahu Ezhen Tan Tai (younger brother of Yang Guli) loudly report: "Great Khan, Hong Chengchou has sent out troops! Hong Chengchou's army has left Beining City and is heading towards Nalin along the Laoha River.
Chapter completed!
