Chapter 382: Seeking War, Sense of Mission, Beginning of War(2/2)
"Take an active attack, and the speed of the barbarian legion has begun to accelerate. If they delay their actions, they can only take the initiative to seek war."
Zhao Neng frowned, pulled his beard, greeted Oman, and they turned around and came to the military tent with the map hanging on the ground. They could see the place names in front of the Grand Canal, and the places crossed with red forks were all shot by the Tartars. The arrows were the direction of the Tartars' soldiers.
Seeing this map, everything became more clear. Oman pondered for a moment and said:
"Although the barbarian army avoids those big cities to speed up the marching field, if such an army is stopped on their way forward, as long as it is a normal commander, I heard that in the past ten years the legion of the Ming Empire has never won the victory in front of the barbarians. General, your legion appears in front of them. The barbarian generals will definitely not avoid it. Instead, they will go forward to fight and destroy him!"
The speed of translation was a little too fast. Oman Garris paused and waited, and continued to speak:
"Although most of the opponents are cavalry and most of ours are infantry, they are not as mobile as possible, but if they take the initiative to fight and form a stalemate, they can offset their mobility advantages and drag them to the moment reinforcements come!"
Hearing the foreigners' judgment and analysis, Zhao Neng took a few deep breaths and was already determined. He stared at the location of the Nanbanbi store in Cangzhou, his eyes kept moving downward, and pointed at a point, saying affirmatively:
"Our army will set its camp north tomorrow, and the Tatars' army is heading south. If nothing unexpected happens, we will fight the Tatars' troops near Dongguang County!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Neng turned around and shouted:
"It is said that the commanders of each battalion, Thousand Generals, came to our military account to discuss matters!!"
The intention of the general Doro Raoyubele Abatai was indeed in the judgment of Sun Chuanting and Oman, or in other words, generals above the level of this era could make such judgments.
Unfortunately, modern and modern colors are very strong. The military group trained by Li Meng, a non-commissioned officer, lacks this. The training time required is indeed very long and the environment required is also very high.
Compared with the East Asian troops of the same era, the troops with the Eight Banners as the core are indeed powerful. Abatai's accelerated marching and large-scale maneuvers are actually common sense, but if the same action is done by refugees and official troops, the troops will probably be dispersed.
The so-called maneuver is to cross the frozen canal from the canal north of Cangzhou and move westward for thirty miles, turn to the southeast, and come to Banbidian.
If there were movements of the Ming army or pursuers around, the maneuver would be almost exposed. However, as Abatai expected, there were no pursuers or ambushers. The next thing was to go south with all his might, preparing to let go of people, gold and silver, and livestock.
What Abatai and his generals did not expect was that they had been panicked in Cangzhou, which had been in a panic for a long time. The soldiers and civilians in Hejian Prefecture City, Jiaohe, Xianxian, Nanpi, Yanshan and other cities were all shocked. Hejian Prefecture City closed the city gates that day, and the magistrates of Jiaohe and Nanpi County abandoned the city and fled. The people and the people also flocked to the prefectures to the west, and Xianxian and Yanshan counties became in chaos. Many villains took the opportunity to catch fish in the waters.
The situation was extremely unbearable for a moment...
This is nothing. What no one in the world expected was that no one in the capital knew where the Tartar soldiers were now and how they were doing. Around the capital, including the Beijing camp and the kings, there were 200,000 soldiers and horses, but those with combat effectiveness were pitiful.
The Tartars invaded, and the world was shocked, but the performance of the central government was so disappointing, which really made the world's hearts hearts hearts. But this was also helpless. I would not say that the defeats outside the pass were a few times. The troops consumed in the Central Plains and the refugee army and the lost military generals, as well as the astronomical military expenditure, were not less than the losses of fighting with the Qing Dynasty.
Nowadays, there are no soldiers, no generals, no money, so what can we do? What's more, there are party struggles inside and outside the court and the country, which is even more delaying.
As for Shandong, which is near Northern Zhili, there are soldiers and generals, but they cannot be counted on it. Li Meng's ambition is becoming more and more obvious. Thank God for this person to make trouble later, how dare he expect him to serve the king?
Later, when people looked at history, they did feel that destiny might really exist. After more than two hundred years of experience, the Ming Empire encountered internal and external troubles.
The Jianzhou Jurchens rose. Although the Ming Dynasty and their battles did not take any advantage, they could still deal with them calmly. However, between the end of the Tianqi period and the Chongzhen period, great disasters were caused by heaven, and refugees in Shaanxi rose. One inside and one outside, the Ming Empire began to be overwhelmed.
Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and even Yang Sichang and other governors led the officers and soldiers to drive Li Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong and others into desperate situations several times. Gao Yingxiang, the king of the rebels, was arrested and executed, but every time they rushed into desperate situations, they were about to kill them. The Tartars invaded, and then the court mobilized troops to surround and block the Tartars. Instead, it gave the refugees and traitors within the country a chance to breathe and let them recover.
The border affairs were a little calm, but the militia recovered again, and the court continued to send troops to quell the rebellion. This cycle continued, and no one could perfectly resolve it, but both sides continued to grow and grow.
By this year, the continuous disasters in the north have finally eased. A place like Shandong that is not too chaotic can even be said to be "good weather".
But it turned out that the army of refugees who had risen because of their survival had become an armed group for the world. The Manchu Tartars outside the pass had already had a complete military and civil system, and they had become a climate. The Ming Empire continued to weaken in the interim disasters between internal and external disasters.
The power grew and the other was growing, and the disaster of the Ming Dynasty, the dark era of the Chinese nation came so slowly but irreversibly. Looking at it from beginning to end, it really seemed that there was an irreversible fate that made the Ming Empire perish.
Similarly, the Han people of the Chinese Han people, which were thousands of years ahead of the civilized world, began to slowly be surpassed by Western civilization in the late Ming Dynasty.
After the Qing Dynasty won the country, the Chinese nation fell into darkness and stagnated for hundreds of years, and even those who chased after it might have been lost. When it was the Opium War, the country's gate was knocked open by cannons, and then it fell into more than a hundred years of shame and lagging behind. It was the darkest era of Chinese civilization for thousands of years.
The arrival of Li Meng disrupted the ending in a daze. He and his group wanted to change the countless Han ethnic groups and countless Chinese children, and the upcoming darkness, chaos and destruction.
As for the actions of General Zhendong and General Li Meng of Shandong over the past year, everyone in the world regards Dong Zhuo and An Lushan as the likes of such ambitious military generals, they are often barbaric, greedy for money and intrigue, arrogant soldiers and powerful generals, and the people of their subordinates regard them as great harm to animals.
But Li Meng, his officers' regiment, his Jiaozhou camp, and his Shandong are completely different from this common concept. Li Meng and his subordinates, regardless of their status, civil servants and generals, all have a sense of mission, a kind of incompetence at the upper level, and need our Shandong soldiers to stand up and save this era and this country.
Therefore, although the main force of the Jiaozhou Camp is in Nanzhili, Shandong is empty, and the Tatar army is powerful and coming in full force, this battle is very good and bad. However, the general Zhao Neng did not hesitate and led his troops to fight.
This behavior was a matter of course to the Jiaozhou Camp, but in the eyes of the world, the Jiaozhou Camp's actions seemed to be burned out and were completely fools.
At noon on November 27, 15th year of Chongzhen, 25 miles west of Dongguang County, a spy from Jiaozhou Ying Dengzhou Army who had been out for a day, was wandering around for several hours. The North China Plain was vast, and the Dengzhou Army had few cavalry and a large range of detectives. Zhang came out of the military camp and did not see his companions. At noon, he finally saw a cavalry from afar.
Zhang, who was a member of the horse, thought he was his companion, so he quickly urged the horse to run there. The other party probably did the same, and he also urged the horse to come over.
