Great Ming National Teacher

In October of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led a total of more than 400 Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces, bypassing the Ningjin defense line that had been unbreakable for many years, and came from Mongolia. After running for more than half a month, he easily crossed the Great Wall and arrived in Hebei. Zunhua is less than [-] miles away from Beijing in a straight line, and it takes more than [-] miles to run along the road. Once this place falls, Beijing will face the iron hooves of the Eight Banners Army.

When he heard the news, Zhu Youjian was dumbfounded. He looked to the northeast, full of anger and disappointment. Yuan Chonghuan, who he had high hopes for, told him that Liaodong could be pacified in five years, but he did nothing. First, he killed Mao Wenlong, who was equivalent to the commander of the military region, and now let Jiannu drive straight in, killing him all the way to Beijing!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also terrified. The Jurchens were dissatisfied and invincible!They usually sit at home and point out the country, and it’s okay to play tricks. If they are really asked to face this group of murderous barbarians directly, how can they have such courage.

When Wen Tiren heard that the Jurchen appeared in Zunhua, he was startled. The first thing he thought of was how to keep his official position. When he changed his court clothes, he thought of a countermeasure, and hurried into the palace to meet Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty! Master Shi Yunya once said that Jiannu would come from Da’ankou, and he really expected it! Presumably the Master already has a plan to retreat from the enemy, His Majesty must hurry up and let Master Yunya lead the army to retreat from the enemy!"

His move can be said to kill many birds with one stone. It not only repaired the previous image of opposing Li Yunya in front of the emperor, making the emperor think that he was against Li Yunya, but also took the opportunity to get rid of Li Yunya. He knew the viciousness of the Manchurian Eight Banners Army. Yes, from the Wanli year to the present, the Ming Dynasty lost consecutive battles. So many soldiers and horses in Sarhu were buried in Liaodong. With Li Yunya's five thousand soldiers, no matter how powerful the firearms are, so what?If he is killed by Jiannu, I will ask the emperor for him. It doesn’t matter what kind of real monarch or emperor, and let temples be built all over the world. If he does not die, he will be punished for his defeat, even if he cannot be cured. , It also shattered the myth that he was omnipotent in the heart of the emperor.

"Yes, yes, find Yunya, he must have a way!" What Zhu Youjian wants to see most now is Li Yunya. Yuan Chonghuan, who has always given him the most hope, has lost his chain. The resignation of civil and military officials in the Manchu dynasty, the perfunctory perfunctory resignation, made him burnt out during this period of time... He hasn't seen Yunya for a long time!

Zhu Youjian immediately asked Jin Yiwei to take the eunuch to the southern suburbs to find someone, but he stopped him before he went out: "No way! Yun Ya told me that his soldiers and horses would take as little as three years and as many as five years to follow up with them. Jianzhou Eight Banners battle, besides, he only has 5000 people, but Jiannu has hundreds of thousands, which is inappropriate, and now he is sent to death." Zhu Youjian was also very smart to fight against Wei Zhongxian, and he was a little messed up just now Fang Cun, this meeting has completely woken up, he immediately changed his mind, "Decree to order troops from all over the world to enter Jingqin King!"

Four days later, news came that Zunhua had fallen!

After learning that Huang Taiji had entered the pass, Yuan Chonghuan did not personally lead the soldiers back to the defense. Instead, he only sent General Pingliao Zhao to lead [-] troops to reinforce Zunhua. Tai Chi fought a battle, and the whole army was wiped out.

The Manchurian army entered Zunhua. According to the usual practice, they burned, killed, looted, and left a city full of corpses, like a hell on earth.

Holding the memorial, Zhu Youjian was angry and anxious, his hands were shaking, and he scolded Yuan Chonghuan in his heart. He only sent so few people to the rescue. When Zhu Youjian thought of the possibility of letting slaves enter the customs, his blood turned cold. The Ming Dynasty increased taxes year after year, and most of them went to Liaodong. , if he really surrendered Jiannu and came to fight with the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty would really perish.

With a deep sense of crisis, Zhu Youjian hurriedly moved out the great god Sun Chengzong, and dismissed the original minister of the Ministry of War from his post!

After Sun Chengzong took office, he immediately ordered all the troops to rush to Changping and Sanhe to set up defenses to block Huang Taiji.

Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Jizhou at this time. He always believed that Huang Taiji would not attack the capital. The walls of Beijing were tall and thick, and there were red cannons on them. Huang Taiji was mostly cavalry. He did not carry out Sun Chengzong's order.

After Zhu Youjian heard the news, his face turned pale with anger. He felt that even if Yuan Chonghuan hadn't let Jiannu into the customs, he had nothing to do with it. There must be something between him and Jianu!

In the next few days, more than [-] people from Huang Taiji began to burn, kill and loot the area around Beijing. Wherever he went, he followed him, but he didn't fight, he just followed behind.

More and more people scolded Yuan Chonghuan, especially those whose family was in the suburbs of Beijing. When their families were ruined, they all hated Yuan Dushi deeply.

Huang Taiji ravaged along Shunyi, Sanhe, Xianghe and other places in the suburbs of the capital. On this day, he went around the southern suburbs and saw a city in the distance. It is said that there is a plaque on the gate of the city, which reads "Daming Military Academy".

Huang Taiji looked around, everyone didn't know what the military academy was, literally, it should be an army school?When soldiers are recruited, it’s enough to practice hard. What kind of military academy is there? Do you also need to study the Four Books and Five Classics?

They rode around the city on horseback and found that the city covers an area much larger than that of Beijing, but the city wall is not particularly high, and there are not many cannons on it. It is an important military site of the Ming court, whoever knocks him down will surely frustrate the enemy and scare them out of their souls."

Everyone begged for orders one after another, and Huang Taiji finally sent Azig, one of the four junior Baylors, to lead [-] troops to take down the small town.

Azig also didn't take Yuan Chonghuan seriously. In the past few years in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan could only rely on the cannons on the city wall to hold on. When he came out to fight in the field, he was no match for the Eight Banners athletes. He was the No.12 son of Nurhachi, and he was very brave. Good at fighting, he led the annihilation of the Zhao rate education department in Zunhua a few days ago, and killed the Shanhaiguan general who was ranked among the top five generals in Liaodong in one fell swoop.

This time, they finally don't have to face Ningyuan and Jinzhou City like bastards anymore. Daming's country is like a prey that has been evaded by its claws and directly pulled into the abdomen, and they are urging them to rot and tear the soft internal organs. broken!

Azig launched a general attack. The city wall here was not as high as that of Beijing, and there were not many red cannons that could smash people and horses. He picked a section of the city wall in the north that had only towers and no forts and gave the order to attack the city.

More than ten thousand burly barbarian men rushed towards them screaming, as the saying goes, there is no limit to the number of people. Standing on the city wall, all of them are full of barbarians. They are wearing armor and wielding big knives and spears. , and some held shields in their hands, staring at their scarlet eyes, like wolves hunting their prey.

Li Yunya also stood on the city wall, watching the Manchurian soldiers charging closer and closer, and told the soldiers around him: "This is the first battle since we became an army. Endless guns and ammunition, three thousand against ten thousand, if you still can't win, we have no face to live in this world, even if we are not killed by the enemy, I will take you to die together to apologize."

The battalion commanders all stood up straight and pledged, "Jiannu will definitely come and go!"

The Manchurian soldiers charged closer and closer, and when their bows and arrows were about to reach the city wall, suddenly black gun barrels protruded from behind the crenel and aimed downward.

"What is that? It's a cannon!" Under the walls of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, the Manchurian soldiers who had suffered from cannons many times were a little riotous.

"Don't be afraid! That's not a red cannon. It has limited power and can't be fired downwards. We just need to run to the bottom of the city and it won't be..." Before he finished speaking, the cannon on the city wall started to fire.

Li Yunya had known for a long time that Huang Taiji was coming, so he made adequate preparations in advance. He built a longer city wall and surrounded the entire industrial park, making the whole city much larger than Beijing. Naturally, it is impossible to install defensive cannons everywhere on the city wall, and only field cannons can be used. When he repaired the city wall, he had already considered it. He drove the carriage to the city wall. The angle can be adjusted, and the depression angle can be increased more greatly by adjusting the height of the shaft.

There is a cannon every five crenels, lined up along the city wall, and when people rush to the vicinity, they will fire at the densest place. The cannonball Li Yunya made is not a ball, but cast out of iron. Those with tail fins at the back can fly more stably in the air and can hit the target more accurately. The gunpowder inside has been improved and stored several times, and a lot of scrap iron slag has been stuffed. Each shell weighs more than 20 kilograms. Bombing into the crowd, the shell alone can penetrate the human body, and then explode a second time. More than a hundred cannons fired at the same time, rumbling continuously, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains outside the city wall. It became a dead zone for bombardment.

"Rush over! Rush to the bottom of the city wall for me, and the artillery will be out of reach! Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy!"

The ferocious Manchu and Mongolian warriors braved the artillery fire and rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and set up ladders to climb up the city wall. They were all hunters born between white mountains and black waters, and they were fierce men who lived on horseback. Climbing up to the city wall with the shield in hand, there are still people behind on the position where the artillery fire baptized, carefully dodging the shells, raising their bows and arrows to shoot at the city wall, Li Yunya was slapped on the scalp by a stray, frightened, the soldiers They hurriedly shielded him layer by layer: "You'd better go down to the city to rest!"

"Don't go!" Li Yunya still cherishes his life, but he knows that this is the first battle since he became an army. Facing the ferocious and brutal Manchurian Eight Banners, these recruits will inevitably panic and be afraid. They are usually trained proficiently. Sometimes it is possible to forget that he must stand here!Of course, it was also he who saw that the barbarians outside the city did not have cannons, and if they only used bows and arrows, the shields of the guards could block them.

He stood on the city wall and commanded the battalions to coordinate operations, and he also had to accept the baptism of war with these soldiers, so that he could live longer in the future.

When the Manchurian soldiers killed the city and began to climb the wall, some battalion commanders began to order bombs, hand grenades, that is, palm mines, and threw them down after pulling the fire. The Manchurian warriors had never seen such a tortoise-like surface Iron bumps, those who are smart can see that this thing will smoke, and know it is a firearm, but it is useless to know it. The palm mine explodes quickly, and explodes into huge fireballs one after another in the crowd. Countless burly and tall, killing people like killing people The Manchu warriors who were like chickens were killed and injured by the bombing, screaming and falling from the city wall.
