Chapter 2078: The Battle of Qin Qing and the Right Beiping (2)
Chapter 2076: The Battle of Qin and Qing in Youbeiping (2)
Wanyan Honglie hesitated for a moment, and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Xue Rengui and Wei Qing''s troops should be reorganized from the Northern Han surrendered Army."
"Reorganized surrendered soldiers?"
Nurhaci''s pupils shrank slightly, and then he smiled bitterly: "How did Qin Hao make the surrendered soldiers return to their hearts in such a short time? Aren''t he afraid of the surrendered soldiers'' mutiny?"
"The chief general of the fifth army of the Qin army was Wei Qing. I think it should be the surrendered soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty whom Wei Qing helped Qin Hao conquer.
As for whether there will be a mutiny? If the battle situation is unfavorable, these surrendered soldiers will naturally be the most unstable factor for the Qin army. However, now the Qin army is always in a frontal battlefield, and there is naturally no risk of mutiny when using surrendered troops to fight with the wind. ”
Hearing Wanyan Honglie''s words, Nurhaci was silent.
Who told him before that Wei Qing was Liu Che''s brother-in-law and was loyal to Liu Che. Even if he died, he would not surrender to his enemy Qin Hao?
Nurhaci now just wants to chop off the man’s tongue and feed it to the dog.
If he had known that Wei Qing would surrender and helped the Qin army subdue 100,000 surrendered troops in advance, so that the total strength of the Qin army reached 350,000, Nurhaci would definitely not hold on in Youbeiping and refused to retreat.
Now, Lu Long is lost, his retreat is broken, and he can''t even escape even if he wants to.
Suddenly, Nurhaci found out that he seemed to have fallen into Qin Hao''s plan from the beginning.
Qin Hao has been in a state of blockade about Wei Qing’s surrender. Except for some senior Qin army leaders, the outside world does not know that Wei Qing has surrendered.
The reason why Qin Hao blocked the news was to catch the Qing Dynasty off guard, and the facts proved that this trick was used correctly. Wei Qing and the sudden participation of the 100,000 surrendered troops did catch Nurhaci off guard, making the situation where the Qing army had already taken a sharp turn for the worse became even more difficult.
"Is the gap between the national strength between our Qing Dynasty and Qin State really that big?" Nurhaci said with a wry smile. Only at this moment did he truly realize the gap between the national strength between him and Qin State.
As Qin State started wars everywhere, even though it had dispatched 400,000 to 500,000 troops, it could still supply 350,000 troops and the Qing Dynasty.
Although the Qing Dynasty had 550,000 troops, even if the national treasury was empty, it could only supply 300,000 troops to fight against the Qin army.
This is the gap between national strength!
As a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic country, the Qing Dynasty naturally would not miss the killing weapon of new grain planting. However, even with new grain planting, even if the grain production has increased significantly, domestic grain storage still cannot reach the point where it can be squandered at will.
The consumption of food and supplies by raising troops, local operations, and foreign operations is different.
Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, expanded his army in order to protect himself. A small Yanzhou actually had an army of 300,000, but the actual force dispatched in each battle never exceeded 150,000.
Why is this? No food.
For example, the princes of the three prefectures of Ji Youqing had a total force of nearly 600,000 to 700,000, but they could only send 500,000 troops to fight the Qin army.
Why didn’t they send an army of 700,000 directly to the battle? They were able to raise an army of 600,000 to 700,000 troops, but they could not provide the food and supplies for the army of 600,000 to 700,000 troops to fight.
This is still a local war, and there is no need to consider logistics, otherwise the princes of Hebei will be able to dispatch less troops. As for the 600,000 troops of Yuan Meng, who could send 400,000 troops to attack Hetao, this was not because the national strength of Yuan Meng was stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty, but because the Yuan Meng not only mobilized the national strength, but also attacked the Qin army''s granary, Hetao, and could only provide supply through war.
Although the Qing Dynasty has also increased its grain production today, it has consumed nearly half of its wealth before it has accumulated a lot due to the war every year. In addition, it has only defeated its army and destroyed its country, so that its national strength has not only not increased, but has also become weaker and weaker.
This is the main reason why the Qing Dynasty could only dispatch 300,000 troops to fight against the Qin army.
The situation of the Qin army was completely different from that of the Qing Dynasty. The four major battles of Youzhou, Hetao, Sizhou and Jingbei were attacking outside and defending inside. They used up a total of 600,000 to 700,000 troops, but the Qin army had no food and grass pressure at all.
This is the gap in national strength!
Nurhaci made a secret decision in his heart that if he could return to Shengjing smoothly this time, he would definitely devote himself to governing the country and wait until the Qing Dynasty''s national strength became stronger before considering going south.
What Nurhaci didn''t know was that the Qin army''s food and grass pressure was actually much greater than that of the Qing Dynasty, but it was cleverly resolved by Qin Hao.
Youzhou is a newly obtained land, with not much grain and inconvenient transportation, so Qin Hao built a new Tianjin Port to transport grain from Hebei by sea.
Hetao, Sizhou and Jingbei are all major grain-producing states, and they are all local wars. In addition, the Hetao war has ended, and Sizhou has turned into defense to offense, and only Jingbei is still in a state of anxiety, so the pressure on food and grass will naturally not be too great.
If the total consumption of food and grass of the Qin army was compared to ten, the army in Youzhou alone consumed as much as 60%, while the total consumption of the other three places was only 40%.
The next three days will be extremely painful for Nurhaci. He is waiting for the battle report every day, hoping for good news, but all the news is bad news without exception.
"Report to Your Majesty, General Fu Jian was blocked by Qin general Zhang Han on Jieshi Road on the way to Lu Long.
Relying on the advantage of the territory, Zhang Han built a village within three days. General Fu Jian has ordered a fierce attack, but it may be difficult to defeat the enemy in the short term. ”
"What? Jieshi Dao? Qin General''s vision is really vicious."
Nurhaci couldn''t help but show a solemn look. Jieshi said that he had walked by himself, knowing that there was a dangerous place, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
When occupying the Liao Kingdom, Yinzhen advised Nurhaci to build a new pass on Jieshi Road and named it Shanhaiguan. With Lu Long and Shanhai in hand, the Qing Dynasty''s defense in Youzhou was completely perfect, and they could attack and retreat or defend.
At that time, Nurhaci thought that after seizing Youzhou, Lu Longsai''s role would be greatly reduced. If he built a new Shanhaiguan, it would be a waste of money and food, so he did not agree.
But now it seems that Yinzhen’s proposal is correct. If Nurhaci agreed to build the new Shanhaiguan, there would be no possibility of cutting off the food channels at all.
It’s too late to regret it!
"Fu Jian was blocked by Zhang Han and could not arrive at Lu Long on time, so he could not cooperate with Huang Taiji''s attack on both sides. It would be difficult to retake Lu Longsai."
As soon as he thought of this, Nurhaci''s face suddenly became extremely ugly, but even worse news was still to come.
"Report... Report to Your Majesty, the eldest prince has arrived at Lulongsai and has not stopped and immediately launched an attack on the city. However, the Qin general has changed Lulongsai''s defense. The eldest prince attacked fiercely for one day, with more than 2,000 casualties, but he still failed to shake Lulongsai."
