Speaking of the empty city plan, I think everyone is not unfamiliar, during the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi led an army to attack the Western City, and Zhuge Liang, who was guarding the city, had no soldiers to use, so what to do, he opened the city gate, played the piano and sang on the city tower,
Sima Yi saw the situation and suspected that there must be an ambush inside, and ran away with the soldiers.
This is the story of the empty city plan, and the famous Qing Dynasty general Nian Qianyao also used this strategy when he quelled the Qinghai rebellion, leading a dozen people to pretend on the city tower, and really scared 100,000 rebels did not dare to attack, what the hell is going on, let's talk about it today, Nian Qianyao used the empty city to plan wisdom to protect Xining.
The protagonist of this play is naturally Nian Tangyao, and the supporting villain's name is Lobzang Tenzin, who is the leader of the Right Wing of Heshuot Mongolia. This was originally only a small clan that submitted to the Qing Dynasty and lived in Qinghai, but the leader Lobzang Tenzi Wolf Was ambitious and vainly attempted to rebel.
Coinciding with the death of Kangxi, the Fuyuan general Yun Yu, who was guarding Qinghai, returned to Beijing for mourning, and the Qing government was busy with the new emperor ascending the throne and consolidating internal affairs.
Therefore, Lobzang Tenzin took advantage of the qing dynasty's power transfer to launch a rebellion in the first year of Yongzheng, on the one hand, actively contacting other rebel forces and instigating the Dzungars in Xinjiang to form an anti-Qing alliance.
On the other hand, Changshou, who had been persuaded to surrender, was detained, and at the same time, his face was torn, so that people from all over the country began to attack the castles on the edge of the Qing Dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of Mongolian, Fan, and Hui people participated in the war this time, and the flames of war burned, from Jiayuguan in Gansu in the north to the arrow furnace in Sichuan in the south.
The military situation was urgent, and when Yongzheng saw that this momentum was not right, he immediately sent Nian Qianyao as the new fuyuan general, sitting in Xining, and commanding the counterinsurgency.
On the sixth day of october in the first year of Yongzheng, Nian Qianyao led a part of the people to Xining without stopping.
The young general was full of self-confidence, but what situation was Xining waiting for him? It was quite tricky, and I almost lost my head.
There were only two thousand troops in Xining City, and Nian Qianyao could not rush to take the initiative to attack, all he could do was to urgently mobilize the militia, repair the city wall, race against time, arrest all the defensive work that should be done, and then wait for Yue Zhongqi's reinforcements to arrive and then make plans.
Unfortunately, before Yue Zhongqi's reinforcements arrived, Lobzang Tenzin came to the door with an army of 100,000.
As mentioned earlier, Nian Qianyao only had two thousand troops in his hands, and Lobzang Tenzin took advantage of the emptiness of the city's troops to take advantage of this to take Xining.
With two thousand against one hundred thousand, if it is hard, this battle will undoubtedly be lost!
If you can't face it, you can only go around the bend.
The situation was very severe, the attack outside the city was very fierce, 100,000 rebels were heavily surrounded, the sky was shaking, the arrows flew in unison, and the rain of bullets and bullets continued to hit the city wall, and it seemed that it would be impossible to hold. This is not the way to go, Nian Qianyao must think of a way to save Xining.
First of all, Xining's geographical location is very important, it must be kept, and it must be kept to death! He told the soldiers that Yue Zhongqi's reinforcements were about to arrive, and as long as they survived this pass, they would be able to survive, and the city was in me, and the city was dead!
Man is not, but there are cannons, the enemy attacks and defends, although you take the cannons to bombard, who will bombard whom!
Then, he made up his mind to fight a psychological war with the enemy. One of the thirty-six counts was the empty city plan, a thousand years ago, Zhuge Liang could use the empty city plan to force the enemy back, and a thousand years later, he could also use the empty city plan!
General Nian led dozens of people, slowly walked up to the city tower, specifically found a position where the enemy could see, sat down, looked at ease, did not panic at all, and talked and laughed with the people around him, as if he was confident of the current war, just like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period, he staged a good play for the rebels.
When Lobzang Tenzin saw this situation, he was stunned, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he can't be sure what medicine is sold in the gourd of This year, and he does not dare to act rashly.
He ordered his soldiers to retreat slightly and surrounded the South Fort in Xining. The enemy did not attack the main city anymore, specializing in the South Fort, and the number of Nian Tangyao was not much, which was certain, so Lobzang Tenzin insisted on attacking the South Fort and launched a fierce attack many times.
On Nian Qianyao's side, seeing that the rebels turned their heads to attack Nanbao, they sent people to sneak into the camps behind the rebels, in an attempt to move the tiger away from the mountain and lure the enemy's main force back to buy time for the Large Qing Army.
However, Lobzang Tenzin was not deceived, blindly attacking the South Fort, and the two sides fought fiercely, killing and wounded, and the tragedy was unbearable.
But after all, Nian Qianyao only had two thousand people, and he couldn't hold out for long, just when he was leading the army to struggle, Yue Zhongqi's reinforcements arrived in time, directly covered the back road, and attacked the enemy's base camp!
When the rebels saw that reinforcements had arrived, they fled while fighting, Lobzang Tenzin fled with hundreds of defeated soldiers, and the Qing army chased after them, beating them to the ground.
In this way, Nian Qianyao used the empty city plan to defuse the danger of Xining and won the first battle. Although Lobzang Tenzin fled, but the general trend has gone, the various tribes that depend on him have also begun to surrender, Lobzang Tenzin saw that he could not fight at this time, so he sent the detained attendant Changshou back to Xining, wanting peace talks, but the Qing government refused peace talks, continued to attack, and put down the Qinghai rebellion in one fell swoop.
