Great Ming National Teacher

This battle lasted bloody for more than six hours from morning to afternoon. Although the Ming army suffered countless casualties, the Eight Banners army also suffered heavy losses. Huang Taiji finally knew that it was impossible for him to attack Beijing today.

This time, he entered the customs only because the winter was too cold and the year was difficult, and the people of the Eight Banners were a little bit embarrassed, so he pulled out all the sons who could fight, bypassed the Ningjin defense line from thousands of miles, and rushed into the Great Wall. He just grabbed it and left, but the temptation to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty was too great, and he couldn't help but give it a try.

Now the Eight Banners warriors have lost too many lives and injuries, and if they continue to fight, they will not be able to defeat the city of Beijing. On the contrary, there will be a danger of cutting off the rear and annihilating the entire army. Finally decided to withdraw.

Seeing that the enemy's Eight Banners Army's offensive was weakening, Li Yunya immediately asked the guards around him to blow their horns.In ancient China, the tradition of commanding the army was to beat drums when marching, and to ring gold when retreating. These two things are very laborious to carry. Li Yunya’s new army is all changed to bugles. There are 36 tones in total, each representing different meanings, such as the charge and the retreat. No., Low Raider No., Alert No., Assembly No. and so on.

This time it was the guerrilla horn that sounded, and the high-pitched and loud horn sound was transmitted far away amidst the rumbling artillery fire and the screams of the troops. The cavalry of the fourth regiment, which had been patrolling around the periphery, immediately started to move, storming Amin's troops. At the same time, Li Yunya sent an order to Lu Xiangsheng, asking him to lead the army to cover up and kill.

Amin originally led the army to retreat slowly. In the usual battles, no matter whether it is in Liaodong or this time under the city of Beijing, they always have the upper hand. They fight when they say they want to fight, and they retreat when they say they want to retreat. The Ming army has no strength and no courage at all. Chasing, although the Eight Banners Army suffered heavy losses today, the Ming Army suffered even more. Speaking of which, they still have the upper hand. I never imagined that the enemy would dare to come out and chase!

Amin ordered the former army to turn their heads to block Lu Xiangsheng, and suddenly there were dense gunshots from the flanks. The fourth regiment had not only muskets in their hands, but also palm mines in their waists. The flag soldiers under his command were in a hurry, some went to fight the hateful green-clothed army, and some continued to attack the chasing Lu Xiangsheng.

These savages are really disgusting!Even dare to chase them out, we must make them look good!

Lu Xiangsheng led more than 3000 Guanning iron cavalry. All of these people were tempered on the Liaodong battlefield. The cavalry over there is also one of the nine sides, and they also have certain combat capabilities.

Especially Lu Xiangsheng himself, this buddy is a civil servant and a magistrate, but his force is outrageous, and he took the lead in the charge with a big knife weighing tens of kilograms. Everyone who dared to block the way was cut in half, and sometimes even the horses sitting under him were hacked to death by Lu Xiangsheng.

There were several Liaodong generals beside Lu Xiangsheng who were also extremely brave. Li Yunya asked Yuan Chonghuan beside him, "Who are those two?"

Yuan Chonghuan told him: "That is the guerrilla general Cao Wenzhao and his nephew Cao Bianjiao."

"Oh, it turned out to be them." Li Yunya knew about these two men, but before he had time to ask in detail, he ordered Zu Dashou of the Left Army to lead the cavalry to bite the Manggurtai army, and then lead the central army to bite the enemy's central army as well. In the army, the musketeers were divided into three rows and moved forward in turn. The mortars were carried by people, and the artillery was also divided into two parts.

Huang Taiji was furious when he saw this, and ordered the whole army to turn around, stop retreating, and continue to attack this hateful Ming army.

This time the killing was even worse than before. The cavalry led by Zu Dashou on the left were almost maimed, causing countless casualties.

Seeing it from the top of the city, Zhu Youjian beat the city wall with his fist, and thought, "Since they intend to withdraw, it's over if you let them go. What are you chasing them for... But there was no way to say this, so he called the drummer He got down, climbed up by himself, picked up the drumstick, and beat it hard. He didn't dare to look at the fighting scene below. He closed his eyes and just kept knocking hard, silently praying to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty in his heart. The founding ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang visited his elder brother Zhu Youxiao who had just died, hoping that they would bless the Ming army to win.

The battle on Li Yunya's side was also very difficult. The musketeers and artillery teams suffered a lot of casualties. He dispatched [-] mortars to help Lu Xiang's promotion. The fire on his side was a little weak, but he could still fight. If he could hold on, Zuo Lu Zu Dashou sent people to ask for help several times, or he was able to retreat and return to the original city wall...

Li Yunya only asked Man Gui and him to hold on. If they couldn't hold on, they would cut off their heads. After the messenger left, he still dropped twenty mortars to help. The firepower weakened a lot, and the Eight Banners soldiers with hideous faces rushed forward, but fortunately, they also had palm mines. The artillerymen opened the ammunition box, took the palm mines, and threw them into the Eight Banners behind the Musketeers. in the team.

After fighting for more than an hour, Amin's department finally began to collapse first. The Guan Ning cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng attacked from the front, and the Lancers of the fourth regiment attacked from the side. It was not harassment, but real fire. He also used the saber to fight hand-to-hand, coupled with the [-] mortars that Li Yunya fell over, Amin's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers and horses under his command began to flee. military.

Huang Taiji was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly dispatched the Chinese army to rescue, trying to stabilize his position. When the Chinese army's offensive weakened, Li Yunya ordered the musketeers to move forward. They sang military songs and attacked Huang Taiji's position step by step. Ping bang bang, gunshots rang non-stop, and the Eight Banners Army, who didn't know whether to charge or retreat, was knocked off their horses in rows.

Huang Taiji saw that it was not good, and knew that the general situation was over, so he hurriedly sent an order to Mang Gurtai, who was about to kill Zu Dashou's department, to bring back his troops. After taking over Amin's department, all the Eight Banners troops gathered together and re-arranged.

Li Yunya saw that although Huang Taiji was flustered and not chaotic, he stabilized his position in a very short time and did not allow himself to attack him directly. He was indeed a powerful character. The damage on the side of the Ming army was worse than that on the other side. If he was at a disadvantage, the situation of the battle might turn around again. He also ordered Zu Dashou and Lu Xiangsheng to lead troops to join him, relying on 72 cannons to re-establish their position.

The two sides confronted each other. Li Yunya had a total of 5 soldiers and horses, and now it is less than 10,000. Huang Taiji's side has [-] Manchu Eight Banners, and now the number has been reduced to more than [-]. The Eight Banners are still about three times the Ming army. Taiji's heart was bleeding, he knew that this battle could not be fought again, even if it was a field battle outside the city, it would be difficult to break down this team with artillery, and the Ming Dynasty family has many adults, so the soldiers can be continuously replenished, [-]+ death is not a big deal, my background is too weak, this time, all the strong men who can ride horses and shoot arrows are brought out, and half of them died!After going back, I am afraid that the whole country will have to show filial piety. This is an unprecedented fiasco since Father Khan founded Houjin!

The Eight Banners Army began to retreat in an orderly manner. Li Yunya would not dare to pursue them anymore, and only let the fourth regiment of the new army stick behind, and shot and killed a few when the opportunity came, and fled when the opponent chased them out. Dashou and Lu Xiangsheng led the cavalry to Zunhua in advance, making a gesture of closing the door and beating dogs. Huang Taiji was afraid that the back road would be cut off, and at this time he had no desire to fight. He did not leave troops and horses to occupy the four places like in history. City, but cross the Great Wall at the fastest speed and return to the northeast.

Jian Nu was finally driven away!Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Youjian personally hosted a banquet in the Forbidden City to entertain the heroes.

The biggest hero in the defense of Beijing is undoubtedly Li Yunya. Although he joined in the second half of the war, the Ming army was always suppressed by Jiannu in the first half of the war and could only defend passively until Li Yunya led the battle. It was only when the new army joined that the war situation began to turn around. In the last battle of Yongdingmen, Li Yunya took full command and beat Jiannu away.

Zhu Youjian proclaimed Li Yunya as the guardian of the country, and asked his eldest son Zhu Cihong, who was not yet one year old, to worship him as a teacher, and ordered that the new army trained by the military academy be named "Qinglong Army". Originally, because they all cut their heads, Soldiers occasionally came out to walk, and they were called the Monk Army by the common people. Some were called the Taoist Army because Li Yunya was a Taoist priest, and some were called the Thunder God Army because they fired their guns like thunder. It was decreed to personally confer the title of Qinglong Army, a character of dragon, representing the relationship with the emperor.

As for other rewards, Zhu Youjian felt a little troubled, should he give gold and silver?Li Yunya has more money than him, can he give it to a beautiful woman?Li Yunya is not good at women, so give him a house?Land?Li Yunya himself is a big landlord.

At this time, Li Yunya took the initiative to review the reward with Zhu You, and what he wanted was not a thing but a person, and the first one was naturally Lu Xiangsheng.

Zhu Youjian was in a bit of a dilemma. Lu Xiangsheng was born as a Jinshi. He became a magistrate and had more power than the mayors of later generations. These days, civility is more important than military affairs. In the mud, Zhu Youjian hesitated for a while, and finally asked Li Yunya to do Lu Xiangsheng's work by himself. He wanted to make an order, but Li Yunya insisted that he make an order first, and then he went to Lu Xiangsheng. May agree.

Zhu Youjian finally agreed to him, and decreed that Lu Xiangsheng should be removed from the post of magistrate and let him join the military academy without a specific position.

As soon as this imperial decree was issued, it immediately caused an uproar in the court. Lu Xiang was promoted to recruit troops to serve as the king, and fought against Jiannu in the city of Beijing. He came out of the mountain of blood and blood. In the end, not only was he not rewarded, but he was demoted to be the leader of the army. Many people immediately wrote a letter to replace him. Lu Xiangsheng complained, Zhu Youjian was wronged, and finally had to say, this is the meaning of the national teacher...

Li Yunya doesn't care what the world thinks of him, the second person he and Zhu Youjian want is Yuan Chonghuan, because Yuan Chonghuan let Huang Taiji enter the customs, and then passively resisted the war, allowing Jiannu to wreak havoc on Gyeonggi, burning, killing and looting, everyone hated it to death Yuan Chonghuan, especially those whose families lived in the suburbs of Beijing and whose families were ruined, all spoke out to condemn Yuan Chonghuan, saying that Yuan Chonghuan had colluded with slavery and intended to rebel, and asked the emperor to put him in prison and punish him. Thirty counts of treason, forming a party for personal gain, etc., said that he should be guilty of Lingchi.

Zhu Youjian also wanted to deal with Yuan Chonghuan, but Li Yunya didn't let him go. Li Yunya told him that although Yuan Chonghuan was guilty, he had made meritorious service to the country. Go back to the military academy and make meritorious deeds.

Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and admitted it. Once the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. Lu Xiangsheng was a great hero, and Yuan Chonghuan was a criminal. How could one be meritorious and the other guilty, but get the same result?

Many scholar-bureaucrats began to come out, saying that Li Yunya was taking power, but Li Yunya had just won a battle, and no one could bring him down now, so he could only vent his complaints to the people, and all kinds of so-called talented people wrote novels , arrange Li Yunya's extravagance, stay overnight in a brothel, how many illegitimate children he has...
