First, a generation will star Liu Ling
During the Ming Dynasty, the Battle between the Ming Army and the Later Jin Nur Hachi Salhu can be said to have determined the strength of the Later Jin and the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty appointed Yang Hao as the military attendant of the Liaodong Province, mobilized nearly 90,000 troops from all over the country, and also sent a message to Korea to assist in the battle with Jurchen Yehebu, with a total strength of 110,000 people, and then the Jin capital Hetuala (present-day Xinbinxi, Liaoning) was the target, and the troops were divided into four routes, and they attacked and attacked the old lair of Houjin Nurhaci in one fell swoop, in an attempt to annihilate Houjin Nurhaci in one fell swoop.
Nurhaci soberly formulated a strategy, let you come a few ways, I only go all the way, take the concentration of troops, one by one to break, and finally the Ming army was defeated, shocking the world, known in history as the "Battle of Salhu".
It can be said that the four main generals of the Ming Army this time were all famous generals at that time, and its middle-eastern road master Liu Ling was the first fierce general of the late Ming Dynasty, who had made great achievements in battle in his life, but he was killed by nurhaci's hand, which was a pity.
Liu Ling (匫綎), a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, was born as a general, and his father Liu Xian (劉顯) was a famous general of the Anti-Wu Dynasty, an official to the general DuDu, and together with Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayu, he was one of the three major generals of the Anti-Wu Dynasty.
Liu Ling "brave and fatherly style", a large knife weighing one hundred and twenty pounds, "immediately rotating like a fly", mighty Sai Guan Gong, known as "Liu Da Dao".
If it is said that the national heroes were selected for the military generals of successive dynasties, it can be said that Liu Ling deserved it, his life from the age of fifteen with his father to fight the Nine Silk Man, with his strong skills, climbed up the Nine Silk Man City Wall, captured the chieftain Ada, all his life to resist Burma, attacked the Wokou, fought against the real foreign insults, the battle merits were outstanding, the Qing compiled the "History of Ming", Liu Ling was highly evaluated: "Brave and slightly crowned the generals, the most labored, and the later death was also the most intense", the Qianlong Emperor praised: "Liu Lingxun Laute, bold and excellent, brave to be the first, the most fierce sacrifice"!
Looking back at Liu Ling's deeds, it shows the true color of the hero, the majestic face is flowing with fierceness, and the soul reverberates with the dream of the hero, the dream of great deeds, and the blood and fire cast the merits.
Second, the young hero is emboldened
On the ninth day of the first month of September in 1573, this day is not only a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, but also a "Saishen Festival" for the servants in the Western Shu region.
In the Nine Silk Cities of Western Shu, the servants were still immersed in the festival, but they did not expect that hundreds of Ming troops seemed to descend from heaven, headed by a tough teenager, with a large knife in his hand, beyond the imagination of ordinary people, heavy and long, waving in his hand like a fly, no one could pick him up.
The leader of the servants, Ah Da, had not yet returned to his senses, and had already been captured by the young man, so that he could not understand that if this Ming army entered the city.
These Nine Silk Cities were dangerous on all sides, and the teenager took these hundreds of selected warriors to climb up from the cliffs and enter the city. Subsequently, the Ming army "burned thousands of houses in the village, and the rebels were all captured."
Since then, the servants who have dominated the Western Shu region for more than 2,000 years have been erased from history, leaving only a hanging coffin on the cliff, witnessing that this strong tribe once existed.
The commander-in-chief of this operation was Liu Xian, and this teenager was his son, the fledgling fifteen-year-old Liu Ling, who became famous in the First World War and began his career as a horseman.
During the Ming Dynasty, the eastern mouth of Burma was reigned by the monarch Mang Ruiti of the Dynasty, and sent troops to invade the Ming border.
The Wanli Emperor had to give Burma a little color, appointed Liu Ling as a guerrilla general in Tengyue, Deng Zilong as a counselor general in Yongchang, led an army to counterattack, Liu Ling commanded the soldiers and horses, repeatedly won battles, and always captured the burmese city of Awa, that is, Mandalay in central Burma, so that Burma surrendered, and Liu Ling raised the southern frontier.
In the twentieth year of the Wanli Calendar, the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi's army invaded Korea, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to support, Liu Ling took the initiative to ask for help, led his five thousand strong brigades to help, the Wanli Emperor "commanded the deputy general soldiers to conscript", killed the Wokou fearful and frightened, defeated the Japanese army, and then served as the chief military officer in Sichuan and other places.
In the twenty-fifth year of the Wanli Calendar, the Little Japan invaded Korea again, and Liu Ling "served as the chief soldier of the Imperial Guard, and the Han soldiers went to discuss."
Marching all the way, he almost captured the Japanese general Konishi, and let the Korean monarchs praise: "Among the generals of china and the DPRK, the courage to use soldiers well and push Liu Ling first", Wu Kou heard that "Liu Ling is coming", and he was frightened and had his liver and gallbladder cracked and peed his pants.
Later, there was an incident in the southwestern frontier, and Yang Yinglong, the toastmaster of Bozhou, rebelled, and Liu Ling led his troops to Guizhou to fight.
The Bozhou occupied by Yang Yinglong is today's Zunyi, Guizhou, where the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Ling is worthy of a fierce general, leading his army to attack Loushan Pass, Houshui Hoard, Hailong Hoard and other places, and quelling Yang Yinglong's rebellion.
Third, the English name is only taken immediately
In the forty-sixth year of the Wanli Calendar, the Jurchen Nurhaci of the Liaodong region rose up, and Liu Ling, who had been dismissed for his duties, was reinstated and appointed as the Zuo Fu You Shu, and then promoted to the position of commander-in-chief.
In the forty-seventh year of the Wanli Calendar, the Ming Court appointed Yang Hao as the military attendant of the Liaodong Province, mobilized soldiers and horses from all over the country, and also ordered the Joseon and Jurchen Yehebu to send troops, a total of about 110,000 troops, divided into four roads, divided into a joint attack, the target was the Later Jin capital Hetuala, in an attempt to annihilate Nurhaci in one fell swoop, which is the famous Battle of Salhu in history.
Liu Ling led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 10,000 Korean reinforcements, and claimed that 30,000 were the Eastern Route Army.
Before the war, his generals realized that the situation was not good, and said to Liu Ling: "The soldiers on the East Road are very lonely, so why not invite soldiers?" This means that north Korean aid is unreliable, and there are too few soldiers and horses, Liu Ling explained: He has always had a bad relationship with Yang Hao, which is clearly Yang Ho's personal grudge, "necessary to die", that is to say, Liu Ling is ready to die in battle, worthy of his heroic nature.
Liu Ling's troops marched according to plan, all the way to the mountains and mountains, the road was difficult, and the two enemy battalions of Lianke Niumao and Majia arrived at Abdali Gang and fell into an ambush set by the four great belles of Houjin.
After the Jin people and horses were condescending, surrounded and attacked on all sides, Liu Ling led his troops to meet the battle with excitement, the left arm was hit by an arrow, still dancing the knife to kill the enemy, and then shot in the right arm, the blood was direct, which further stimulated his fighting spirit, fighting in blood, from morning to night, the soldiers around him fought less and less, he was surrounded by countless Houjin generals, he was cut off half of his face, or yelled to kill the enemy, and then cut down dozens of golden soldiers, fell in a pool of blood.
Throughout the Battle of Salhu, Houjin lost a total of more than 5,000 people, while Liu Lingbu, the weakest troop, killed more than 3,000 people, which shows how fierce the battle was.
The angry Ones were the North Korean soldiers and horses, who surrendered after a little resistance, hateful and pathetic! A generation of fierce generals died on the battlefield in this way, if it were not for Yang Hao, a vile villain, who intended to betray Liu Ling, if the four-way encirclement could be successful, if the Korean reinforcements could fight side by side, if Liu Ling had more soldiers and horses, if Liu Ling did not hold the confidence that he would die, if... History has no if, and the truth of history is not subject to the will of man.
Liu Ling fell down heroically, leaving behind a tragic immortal, sacred spiritual banner.
