Wei County, Dorgon Department of the Qing Army.
Although these days, they have been evacuating at full speed to avoid fighting with the Ming army, but after arriving in Wei County, they have been full of speed, and there is a thing called hope on their faces... because their reinforcements are coming. .
By the afternoon of the same day, another general who entered the customs this time, Rao Yu Beile Abate, had already led 12,000 people with the Zhenglan Flag to arrive.
However, when he saw the commander of the entire South Road Army, Prince Rui and General Dorgon, his face was a little unhappy: "General, why are you calling me so urgently? After entering the Pass, the Eight Route Army is your Majesty. The purpose set out."
And the reason why Abate speaks so aggressively, it is also emboldened. Abate is the seventh son of the old slave Nurhachi. If it is replaced by Daming, it will be the status of the prince. Therefore, even though Dorgon is also the son of the old slave (No. The fourteenth son was born to the old slave's concubine, and Abatai was born to the old slave's side concubine), but Abatai is Dorgon's older brother from a generational point of view, so he doesn't respect him much.
And another factor is the affiliation between the two parties. Abatai belongs to the Zhenglan Banner, and the banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner is now Hauge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji and Dorgon are both The brothers have been discordant and have been suppressing the two brothers (for fear that the two brothers will become stronger after they join forces and grab his throne), which can be seen by a smarter person.
Therefore, Abatai led the army into the bandit this time, and Huang Taiji secretly had another secret decree. So now Abatai had played well, but was suddenly transferred by Dorgon, of course, his tone became a bit heavy.
After hearing Abate’s words, Dorgon did not use his identity to suppress him. Although theoretically speaking, he was ordered to enter the customs this time as a general to rule the entire South Road army. Abate was originally meant to Obeyed his dispatch, but now, Dorgon just asked him to bring a battle report for Abate to watch.
Abate is a rough man with a full face and a beard. However, this man is quite strategic in history and can also read a few characters. He is also a different kind among the Manchus, so Abate didn't care at first, but After he finished reading it, his expression changed: "General, what is said above is true?"
"It's all true." Dorgon nodded his head with a heavy face, and then Abatai understood. It is no wonder that Dorgon was so anxious to transfer him over. It turned out that the South Road army had suffered heavy losses!
You must know that this time the Tartars entered the customs, in fact, they were fighting with the idea of fighting to support the war, that is, by looting Daming's material population and enriching oneself, so as to transfer the losses of this catastrophe year to Daming.
Therefore, with this purpose, the appetite of the Qing army is very big, as soon as entering the barrier, the soldiers will be divided into eight groups, and they will advance together, sweeping the entire north of Ming Dynasty! Of course, in this way, the farthest distance between the north and south armies is three to four hundred miles, so Abatai is not clear about the movements of the other armies. He only knows vaguely. It seems that the northern armies don’t seem to be going well. Du Dubu was hit hard by the Ming army.
However, he only controls the Second Route Army (South Route Army) of the Eight Routes, and is too far away from the North Route Army, so he doesn’t care so much, but now, this battle report has surprised him with all his eyes. I'm going to stare out!
It clearly states that the army formed by Ming Guo to fight against this invasion has turned around and headed south after killing Du Du's department, and rushed to Gaoyang a few days ago, and first wiped out three thousand and besieged Gaoyang. After the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, it was in the Battle of the Rocky Mountains and annihilated me and the warriors of the Qing Dynasty... My army on the South Road of the Qing Dynasty had suffered heavy casualties!
But after Abatai finished watching it, he was still a little unbelievable: "I was ordered to be a general, this is a bit exaggerated... Isn't the Ming army a group of four-legged sheep? It is so powerful now?"
As for Abate’s senses, it’s normal. It’s like he has attacked more than a dozen states and counties in Shandong since he entered the bandit this time, and all the states and counties have been easily defeated. It's so relaxed, it's not like coming to war, but coming to march in an armed parade! But now? Has Ming Jun become so strong
But after hearing this, Dorgon shook his head and said, "My previous thoughts are the same as you. Since the Ming Dynasty’s most proficient Qi family army was wiped out in Hunhe, the backbone of the Ming army has been interrupted. ! Basically, after seeing our army, he was cowardly and evasive!"
"But the Ming army has changed now. It's like the Guanning army this time. After seeing our army, how far and how far did it go. But now, this time, the battle of Gaoyang. They were the ones who fought it down. And this time, the entire Ming army played on the battlefield. It was very... Wu Yong."
"That's it—" Now Abatai understood thoroughly, and also understood Dorgon's intention to rush him to come. Since Ming Dog dared to fight, Dorgon only had more than 10,000 troops in his hand, but It's really choking to face 45,000 people against Minggou.
"General, you can tell me what order you have next." Now that he has corrected his attitude, Abate will no longer be emotional.
"Well—" Dorgon nodded in satisfaction, but he felt that he still had to cheer Abatai, so Dorgon continued: "But after telling you the bad news, I will have a good one next. The news is for you."
An excited smile appeared on Dorgon’s face: “Although Ming has the upper hand for the time being, their ministers like internal friction, so I’ll make a small plan. Ming’s 45,000 army has already Half of it was removed and returned to Beizhili, so now we have to face only 25,000 people."
"What? That's great!" Abatai was very surprised when he heard it. This is one plus one minus... After he arrived with 25,000 reinforcements, there will be a total of 40,000! However, Minggou has reduced to 25,000 people. This plus one minus will give you the absolute upper hand! Even he was a little suspicious, the minister of Ming Kingdom was the one who eats shit...Which side is he on!
Of course, Abatai is nearly fifty years old now, half of his military life, and his life experience is quite rich, so it is not surprising that the people of Ming are like this, giving him a bit of sweetness, he can only do that even his ancestors Unwanted things! It is not surprising that the previous eight imperial merchants (Fan Yongdou from Shanxi Jin merchants) and the current ministers of the Ming Dynasty did the same.
And since the situation is superior, of course you can’t miss the opportunity. Abate’s next step is to ask: "Then General, are you going to have a decisive battle with the Ming army next?"
"That's right—" Dorgon said without hesitation.
"But General, your two white flags have lost a lot of time (that is, the white flag is the white flag, the white flag is inlaid). If this is continued, I am afraid that it will not even be able to maintain the establishment of one flag. Such a large loss is not as safe as it is. Grab things quietly!"
And this is also very obvious. After all, Abate knew very well that their primary goal of entry this time was to grab everything they could. Of course, if they could eliminate the Ming army, it would be even better, but they have suffered casualties as a result. If it’s big, it’s not worth the loss. After all, I’m invincible and the Eight Banners have a total population of less than one million and a force of less than 100,000...
Unexpectedly, after Dorgon heard this, he said decisively: "I also know that if you continue to fight like this, the two white flags will hurt your muscles and bones! But... you have to fight!"
Then Dorgon gave his reasons: "Because the Ming army who came this time has a very powerful unit, Zhuozhou Victory, and the Rocky Mountain Victory, all of them were fought! And this unit has recently come out again! It was given the name of the First Army in the World by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and its arrogance is very arrogant! So now there is such a good opportunity to destroy this army and break the backbone of the Ming Army!"
It has to be said that Dorgon was rightly named (Prince Rui), just like a later Manchu survivor, vigorously advocating that Dorgon was the father of my Qing Dynasty, an outstanding strategist and military strategist. , Although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but there is still a little bit of truth.
Just like this time, trying to light up his two white flags and destroy the Xuan Jia army also proved his strategic vision.
When Dorgon expressed his determination, he showed Abatai all the materials he collected over the years, even from the start of Yang Shanlu in the seventh year of Chongzhen to the eleventh year of Chongzhen, very detailed and detailed. It proved that the rise of the Xuan Jia Army has caused me a great loss in the Qing Dynasty!
When Abatai waited until he finished watching, he muttered to himself: "It's unbelievable that there is such a strong army in Ming Dynasty! In that case, I will support you, General! This battle is not only to be fought, but also to be fought! This Xuanjia army must be completely wiped out! The spirit of the Ming army must be completely wiped out!"
Of course, Abate knows that if he fights such a big fight, his true blue flag will definitely be lost. However, in history, Abate has a lot of foresight, just like this time when the Manchus entered the invaders, he could Serving as the main commander of the South Road and Second Route Army (South Road is a four-way army in total), he has moved for thousands of miles, and he cannot take on this task without considerable strategy.
Of course, this is also related to the attitude of the Manchus towards Daming. Four years ago, the Qing conquered the entire Monan Mongolia (that was still called the Houjin, and it has not yet established a pseudo-state) and obtained the jade seal left by the Mongol Empire. , The whole Houjin is very exciting, which means that my destiny is in me!
So unknowingly, the attitude towards the big empire of Daming is also changing. There are already many people in the upper-level Manchus who are not satisfied with grabbing a handful and leaving, but feel that as long as the opportunity is right, I will be completely clear. Opportunity to enter the Central Plains! At least it can imitate the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties of the previous dynasty (the Southern Song was weak, and as a result, half of the Central Plains was occupied by the Jin soldiers, and the river was ruled by the river).
Abate was one of those who believed that the Qing Dynasty could take over the Central Plains, so now he feels that this powerful army should be completely eliminated to create conditions for us to take over the Central Plains.
However, Abate is not a muscular man, and then he frowned, "But after hearing your introduction from the general, the commander of this mysterious army is as cunning as a fox. Now that he knows that our army is powerful, he must not Is willing to have a decisive battle with our army, so how can it be?"
"Don't worry—" Dorgon smiled mysteriously. This person is known as the wise prince, and he does have two brushes. He has already thought out a countermeasure: "I have come up with a good way to force them to proceed with our army. decisive battle!"
With that said, he had already pointed his finger at Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong: "Look at Rao Yubeile, if it is an ordinary city, of course the Ming army can ignore it, but if we want to break Qingzhou Mansion? What about them? We must come to the rescue, and then we can fight them decisively!"
The Qingzhou government mentioned by Dorgon really hit the weak underbelly of the Ming army! Because there lived a Ming prince, Ming Xianzongzi, King Heng, and Zhu Youmutake (the name is weird).
According to Da Ming's rules, if the king falls, the local garrison will be guilty of serious crimes, and even be put to death! An example of this severity can be given. In the original history, Yang Sichang presided over the battle of the Central Plains and made a strategy of spreading the net on all sides. The result was not fully accomplished, and Chongzhen did not do anything to him.
But two years later, he continued to preside over the meeting, but Zhang Xianzhong broke through Xiangyang and killed the local pro-fan Fu Wang. Yang Sichang was desperate when he learned that he was forced to commit suicide by poisoning! Self-finished! It can be seen the severity of the loss of the pro-fan!
Therefore, the current Dorgon really caught the Ming army’s chaotic ribs. As long as the Ming army took the posture of attacking Qingzhou Mansion, the Ming army would be saved if it was not saved, and it would be saved!
And Abatai is not a stupid person. After hearing the mystery, he nodded in excitement and said: "Okay! The general's hand is really wonderful! And in this way, Minggou must fight our army!"
Dorgon was very satisfied after hearing this. He studied writing and studied the culture of Ming Dynasty. It was not in vain. Although he also knew that even if he could defeat the Ming army in the end, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, he would be hurt. However, he felt that as long as the Xuanjia army could be eliminated, it was worth it.
And then Dorgon said: "But other than that, the princes of the Eight Banners of Mongolia are a little bit emotional in their thoughts, so let's go and comfort him later."
What Dorgon said was that he failed to rescue the four thousand troops of the Mongolian Eight Banners during the Rocky Mountain War, which broke the hearts of allies.
However, after Abate came, the matter had some turning points. Because Abate married a concubine, who was the daughter of a prince in the Eight Banners of Mongolia, so now let them communicate with their two parents. Some barriers can be eliminated, and then in the battle against the Ming army, they will be able to contribute again.
Abate immediately nodded his head and agreed... because he knew it was not a small matter! And after all these preparations are made, a decisive battle that determines the fate of the Xuanjia Army, determines the fate of the Ming Army, and even determines the fate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is about to begin!
ps bowed and thanked the book friend Swellshan for urging, hehe, although it is urging, but for the white horse who insists on updating every day, it is tantamount to a reward, thank you again! (End of this chapter)
