The hero of Shanhaiguan is not as simple as a wall.@Since the late Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the invasion of the barbaric Jurchen Tartars, the Ming Dynasty has continuously built a large number of fortresses on the Jinzhou front line. As long as the troops are sufficient, it is impossible for the Tartars to completely break through with the military force.

Of course, if a garrison general quietly lets the person over, that's all.

These fortresses are very tight, and even in the era of guns and cannons, they are still not so easy to defeat. The famous "I don't want casualties, I just want Tashan" that happened in the war in this world is enough to prove its difficulty.

On the entire defense line, Gaotai Fort, Daxing Fort, Xingshan, Songshan, Daling River Fort, etc. are not plain and fertile fields. If the blocker can make up his mind to sacrifice his life, the offensive troops will have to pay an extremely heavy price for every step forward. Not to mention the core Jinzhou.

But in today's battle, Yang Hao occupied the advantage of attacking from south to north, and was able to mobilize the navy to assist at any time. There were hot air balloons in the sky to observe the enemy formation. If necessary, he could also set up an airplane to strike in the air... In terms of weapon equipment level alone, the main force of the Revolutionary Army at this time was no worse than the Pla in the world, and the performance of heavy weapons was much higher than that of the world.

With such a great advantage in force, the enemy on the opposite side had no desire to fight. From top to bottom, either surrendered or fled with his head shrank. Along the way, the vanguard troops of the Revolutionary Army patronized and captured the prisoners. The real chance of firing fire was close to zero.

He drove straight in and rushed to the city of Jinzhou. The key strongholds such as Songshan, Xingshan took them one after another, and had the extra energy to go to Daling River Fort and attack Yizhou by way of the north.

Yang Hao's command followed him to Ningyuan Prefecture. Seeing the situation chart of the troops spreading like the tide, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Qing Dynasty was indeed exhausted, and this last unit loyal to them had no intention of fighting. It seems that we were too careful about the form estimate before."

Shi Jianfei's eyes flashed, unable to tell whether it was anger or disappointment, and said in a muffled voice: "There is no such thing as people's backs. Anyone who has a little bit of motivation and makes people who are used to their rule see a little hope for change will also bring us ten times of resistance. Unfortunately, with their stubbornness and conservatism, it is already the greatest limit to maintaining rule to this day."

As an outstanding soldier from the old Qing Dynasty, Shi Jianfei studied hard and passed the imperial examination, and then turned to military positions. He wanted to find a way to prosper with his passion and patriotism.

But he finally discovered that the entire country had become an unchanging stagnant pool, and everyone was only staring at the small profits in front of him. He ignored the national laws and his own responsibilities and was furious to poach the country's corners and damage the public and private. This situation can be easily found from history to determine the final outcome.

Not to mention the distant Ming Dynasty, at the end of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party-Ruanwen, who claimed to be a "gentleman", provided sufficient protection for the aristocratic landlord class that covered the world, completely emptied the imperial power. It concealed the land and population, did not pay taxes, and "distantly" the military expenditure that the emperor had finally collected, resulting in the country having no money and food to rescue disasters and no salary to support the war.

Similarly, officers on the front line have formed a system that is almost private soldiers, and each class of officers has crazily divided military pay, and the soldiers at the bottom are neither dignified nor safe.

From top to bottom, the entire country was lying on the huge empire's body to beat bones and eat marrow. The so-called responsibility for strengthening the country was only in the mouths of scholars such as "Fushe". The biggest function of the glorious big words was only for them to sow prostitutes like the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai.

The major event of saving the rise and fall of the country is equated with prostitution and prostitution. You can imagine what the people in the Shilin class in the late Ming Dynasty are carrying things in their heads, and what kind of bunch of things they themselves are.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, it goes without saying that from the moment he took the initiative to kill the Jinyiwei and cut off the only group of eunuchs who were loyal to doing things, his failure was doomed.

This collective death from top to bottom took decades to exhaust the vitality of the Ming Dynasty. The energy was exhausted, and the Later Jin, which had hundreds of thousands, took a ready-made big advantage. Then, all the classes of the entire country paid the price for their mischief.

The situation in the Qing Dynasty is so similar now. The young emperor was impatient and reckless. A circle of young ministers who could vent their mouths around him made all kinds of unrealistic plans to make him happy. And behind him, there will always be a towering shadow covering the sky, which is Empress Dowager Cixi, who will bear the blame for the destruction of the entire dynasty in the future.

What about the ministers? Just look at how the governors and governors from all over the country do it. Before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, they all began to accumulate money and consolidate their troops to protect themselves. Even if the British help, the taxes could not be collected.

This is a country's "critical survival and death".

Compared with the previous Ming Dynasty, after all, the Han family was dressed in a Chinese family, and they could not suppress them without killing tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars. (It may be more than hundreds of millions. A lot of Qing officials recorded in their small notebooks that Zhang Xianzhong killed 600 million people in Sichuan? But strangely, the Qing army actually captured the Daxi Kingdom after the Sichuan population was killed for thirteen years. So in the past thirteen years, did the Qing army crawl forward on land? Or did they have been fighting ghosts for more than ten years? Of course, those Qing court officials who wrote books would definitely become great gods when they got modern dark online articles. They were so imaginative!)

It took the Qing Dynasty two hundred years but failed to "enter China and then China". Now, with a little reminder, its true nature of barbarians will be revealed immediately, and it has become an important weapon for anti-Qing patriots to attack their weaknesses.

Shi Jianfei has been following Yang Hao for two years, and has been influenced by his own thoughts, and he knows that he has really put all his passion on the dog's eyes. The rule of this decadent dynasty is no longer helpful, and it is not worthy of his loyalty to him. His life value should be reflected in the reconstruction and revitalization of the entire Chinese nation.

It was precisely because Yang Hao took this as the core. He spent two whole years to practice it and demonstrated his declarations and ideals step by step, pointing out a glorious road for all those who have a broad mind.

Those who maintain the old dynasty and old order that will be defeated will either be defeated and fought mercilessly, or put down their weapons in shame, give up resistance, and accept justice.

This is the case with the Qing army generals on the front line of Shanhaiguan.

The battle became like this, and Yang Hao’s previous plan to “harden the team with war” would not work. The troops could not temper their spirit without bloody battles. They could not realize the hard-earned peace and light. If this continues, they will inevitably suffer losses in the future when encountering a continuous army of great powers and make up for this lesson at a greater cost.

Looking at it, the cost of national unification is lower, less blood and sacrifice, and the chance of your hands being covered with the blood of your compatriots is greatly reduced. The pressure in your heart may be smaller in the future?... This can be regarded as a pretentious heart for people who have come from peaceful times.

Not to mention how Yang Hao was troubled by the headache, in Jinzhou City, more than 10,000 Yi troops were all hiding in it. When the revolutionary army approached the troops and rushed past the bottom, the Qing troops on the city wall looked at them with horror, fearing and not knowing what to do.

Old Master Song Qing did not stay in the yamen and sulked. He stood on the city tower with a calm expression on his face. He looked calmly at the neatly-shaped troops in the distance. Ma Yukun, who was defeated in the abandoned position, took off his head and stood by calmly, unable to say whether it was joy or sorrow.

When the troops completely passed and the rising smoke slowly dissipated, Song Qing suddenly asked: "These troops were mostly under the command of Nie Gongting and Yuan Weiting in the past?"

Ma Yukun was confused and was stunned for a moment and nodded: "It is reported that the revolutionary army attacked Lutai and attacked Dingwu Army, capturing more than 50,000 troops. In addition to a few people who were dismissed and returned home, 30,000 of them were selected to be the best in the new army and reorganized them."

This information is not secret. Yang Hao also deliberately lets the outside world know the excellent style of the Revolutionary Army and deliberately promotes it through the media. He can understand everything he wants, let alone improve the level of officers and generals.

Song Qing sighed: "The same soldier has been washed away for only a few months, and now he has been reborn. Not only is he not afraid of fighting, but he is also eager to fight. If it were said that when the Taiping Army was pacified, there was still the temptation to win a wife, son, and get promoted and make money, what did the Revolutionary Army rely on?"

He did not talk about the common slogans such as "With high and low, equal wealth and poor" in peasant uprisings. The thing was proven countless times to fool the lower class people to die. Even Li Zicheng, who was the best, still burned, killed, abducted, plundered, extravagant and debauchery after entering the capital. How could he do anything to do it? To put it bluntly, they were all a group of bandits, and generations of Confucian scholars looked down upon them.

Ma Yukun was increasingly unable to figure out what the old man meant, so he had to follow his words: "As far as he heard, there was also a military merit system in the revolutionary army, and the officers advocated equality and preached the great power of saving the country day and night. He chose one of them at will, and could talk about various principles and believe them deeply, like Buddhists and the like. And all the people are so dedicated, it is difficult to shake them."

"This is their strength, and it is also the point of Yang Dingshi being different from everyone!"

Song Qing sincerely sighed that he knew all the inside story clearly.

The revolutionary army's ideological education work was so powerful that people of this era were scared. They had all fought against fanatical religious people, and they were really rushing upwards. The Taiping Army was able to fool people from half of the country into going crazy with them and fighting the world. Yang Hao's theory that had been practiced and deeply summarized was simply a direct action program. Not only did they take care of every detail, but they also allowed everyone to witness their operability, realization, and sustainability with their own eyes.

Although most of the generals in the late Qing Dynasty were rough and could not recognize much big words, they still had the vision they had developed throughout their lives. Song Qing and others were enough to recognize that even if Yang Hao did not have such advanced guns and cannon equipment, the revolutionary army armed with ideological weapons, holding a backward firearm, could still defeat contemporary opponents.

A united united with ideals and beliefs is almost invincible.

Having said that, Ma Yukun suddenly understood the old coach’s thoughts, and his old face turned slightly red, showing a slight shame.

Indeed, the strength of the Revolutionary Army is obvious to all, and foreigners can't beat him. What else can he do? But his Ma Junmen chose not to resist. This is worthy of his military duties. It is unreasonable.

Song Qing glanced at his old eyes and noticed his expression changes. His beard trembled slightly, and he said leisurely: "To be honest, you and I have passed the loyalty and responsibility of the court. Today's world is about to change, and the great powers are around the left. As a soldier, he should do his best to serve. Even if he is torn to pieces, he will do his best to do this. This is a broken matter of internal struggle. You can do less and you can also face your face to meet your ancestors and ancestors."

Ma Yukun bowed and bowed: "My dear, I am ashamed of my humble duty, and I am grateful."

Song Qing waved his hand: "Don't mention it if you are empty, and wait and see what methods the boy surnamed Yang has. If you continue to use weapons, you will destroy my morale."

Ma Yukun understood that the old coach was deliberately letting go and resisting negatively. In short, no matter how hard you and Yang Hao were, I, the old man, stayed in the city and couldn't go out. You go from below and hit wherever you like. Anyway, if we don't cause trouble with you, you have to say that surrender. The old man must have the face for the rest of his life.

On the other hand, Yang Hao was trying to suppress his troops and horses, and he couldn't say that I wanted to fight him. In war, there was no one who could not die. Song Qing and others were used to killing all their lives, and they had already developed a hard-working heart. No matter how many people died, the only one who was uncomfortable in the end was Yang Hao's revolutionary army.

It depends on whether they can understand each other and whether the Revolutionary Army has the wisdom.

Song Qing did not just wait. In the series of defense areas from Shanhaiguan to the periphery of Jinzhou, most of them were troops who did not listen to his greetings, and now they were basically captured and fled. In Jinzhou City, the core ten battalions were completely loyal to his old foundation, and other soldiers were just servants and could not make a big wave. Therefore, he did not have to worry about being bribed by the Revolutionary Army early, and suddenly attacked and attacked.

Nie Shicheng’s experience is unforgettable!

Yang Hao did not ask the old general to wait too long. Just after the main force of the Revolutionary Army successfully passed Jinzhou and successfully occupied the empty Yizhou, ensuring that the flanks would not be disturbed, he focused on deploying elite troops to cross the Daling River, occupy the ranch, and the vanguard arrived in Guangning, facing the defense front of the Qing army in Shengjing from afar.

At the same time, the propaganda forces of the Revolutionary Army began to act, and the hot air balloons carried a large number of leaflets, which were thrown from the top of their heads. The number was so large that it was enough to ensure that each person had several copies of them evenly. The contents were mostly pictures, and they were enough to occupy 90% of the illiterate illiterates to see clearly. As long as they surrendered and sacrificed to the city, everyone would have money to eat, and the Revolutionary Army would preferentially treat the prisoners.

Not only that, the hot air balloon is also equipped with high-power speakers, which use standard Mandarin to promote various preferential policies day and night to the bottom, so that everyone with normal ears can hear it clearly.

This move alone has scared most Qing army and Jinzhou city people!

Nowadays, who has seen anything that can fly in the sky? The hot air balloon is particularly large and is suspended in the air like a magical method. At that time, many superstitious people knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, and were even more frightened by the "thunder sound" passed down from above.

In addition, after the direct artillery regiment arrived from behind, several battalions scattered and opened up in the widest view, so that the Qing army officers and soldiers on the top of the city could clearly see the thick body tubes. Then, a special announcement was made for a "firepower drill" and reminded the officials and civilians in the city not to worry when they heard the loud noise.

Damn this is a worrying thing, okay!

What I didn't know about before now has received news, so there are unprecedented numbers of people rushing up to the city wall. Just under the attention of everyone, a battalion of 122mm howitzers opened fire on a hill close to the city, pouring more than a hundred grenades in one breath.

This number is really not much in modern warfare. But in most cases when solid bullets are used, the shock brought by high-explosive grenades is as big as before!

Thunderous sounds like thunder, thunder, and the ears were numb and heads were blinded by several kilometers. Then, fires rose from the lush mountain to the sky! Hundreds of explosions were connected into one, swallowing up the hill as a whole. The boiling fireworks gathered into a thick cloud of mushrooms, rising rapidly towards the sky! The flashing red light seemed like a demon and monster grinning at people, scaring the whole city's officials and civilians trembled and could not stand up straight, and countless people were urinating their pants!

After the thick smoke passed, a large piece of the mountain was cut off (actually all the trees and vegetation were destroyed). The Qing army in the city looked at the muzzle with green smoke in horror, and thought that there were several times more powerful killing weapons in other directions, and the morale of the army completely fell to the bottom.

They all understood now that if they did not surrender, they might be when the shell would fall on their heads, blown to pieces and die without a complete corpse!

After the shelling, no matter whether the officials or the people were willing to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the trend of surrendering and avoiding death swept across the city. Even the loyal officers had to carefully plan for their own life and death at this moment. After gathering in private to discuss, they jointly appealed to Song Qing.

The old coach looked at a group of his confidants and sighed helplessly: "The boy named Yang is amazing! He uses both coercion and temptation and hard work, and I can't even eat him. Forget it, you can do whatever you want."

On the second day after the threat of artillery fire, Song Qing, Ma Yukun and other generals were coerced by their subordinates and surrendered. The two veterans refused to obey and were "beaten" by their subordinates and sent to the military hospital for "rescue".

Yang Hao knew they were doing a show, but he didn't think it was impossible to solve the obstacles quickly at such a low cost and make them famous?

After leaving the city to the reserve troops to gather control, the large army continued to advance. This time, they could not pass the battle easily without bloodshed. Just near the big and small Heishan Fort, the vanguard troops ran into the Shengjing Qing army who came to rescue!
