However, Hauge did not come.

The real reason why Hauge didn't come was not what Yang Zhen said. It was because he was smarter than Duduo.

But he also suffered heavy losses in the process of leading his troops to encircle and annihilate Jin Guofeng's troops.

Although more than a hundred soldiers and servants led by Jin Guofeng were trapped in a tight siege and all died in the battle, they made extensive use of the flying general grenades provided by Yang Zhen during the battle.

For the first time, the Xianghuang Banner units encountered a large number of grenade attacks in close combat. Although they won the final victory, they suffered a large number of casualties.

The number of people killed in the battle was at least twice that of Jin Guofeng's troops, and the number of wounded troops was even higher. Even the most brave and skilled Baya Lazhang Jingaobai under Hauge's command was wounded and fell from his horse, and almost died under the flying general.

Under shrapnel.

This result made both Hauge and his Manchuria Gushan'e Zhenye Keshu fearful and did not dare to act rashly at night when the enemy's situation was unclear.

Moreover, they could not have imagined that the White Banner Ba Ya La led by Duduo himself, the White Banner Alihachaoha led by Turge, and the White Banner Han army Wu Zhenchaoha with heavy artillery led by Shi Tingzhu would be completely annihilated.

Even if the group of Alihachaoha with white flags who broke out from Dongguangou reported to them the news that Duduo was ambushed in Dongguangou, they still did not believe that Duduo could be completely annihilated.

All in all, whether that night or early the next morning, Hauge and his army with yellow flags were stationed on the north hill outside Ningyuan City and stood still.

Of course, if Yang Zhen and the others knew that Hauge didn't come because of this, and if he knew that Hauge was in this situation under Ningyuan City, then he probably wouldn't have retreated in such a hurry.

Anyway, he intercepted the cannon and grain and grass baggage carried by Shi Tingzhu in Woniugou. No matter how powerful Hauge and his men with yellow flags were, they could not hold out for long under Ningyuan City.

In as little as ten days or as much as half a month, they will inevitably return north. By then, Yang Zhen's original idea may be realized.

However, Yang Zhen did not know about this, because the Tang newspaper forwarded from Ningyuan did not mention any losses on the Manchu Tatar side.

Although Hauge didn't come, Yang Zhen was still a little lucky in his heart, and he was happy to take this opportunity to preserve the huge results he had achieved so far.

"Indeed, this Prince Haoge of Lao Shi Zi Su is also a fool with a lot of luck. If he comes here, he will definitely fall into the hands of the governor just like his uncle."

After hearing Yang Zhen's evaluation of Hauge, Yuan Jin immediately responded and said so.

As for the newspaper sent out by Ning Yuancheng and what happened outside Ningyuan City, neither of them took the initiative to mention it, and Yuan Jin had no opinion on whether to save Ning Yuan or not.

Now Yuan Jin was completely convinced of Yang Zhen's ability to win unexpectedly, and unknowingly, he began to follow Yang Zhen's lead in everything.

This time, as soon as Guo Xiaowu arrived at Juehua Island with Yang Zhen's message, Yuan Jin immediately lit up more than a hundred large and small transport and war patrol ships, loaded up the naval camp, set sail to sea, and rushed to the company.

The mouth of the mountains and rivers has arrived.

He knew that by fighting with Yang Zhen, he would not only have soup to drink, but also meat to eat. In the previous victories that Yang Zhen had fought, Yuan had not done much, but he had gained a lot, so he had tasted the sweetness.

This time, Yang Zhen sent Guo Xiaowu to attack him, and naturally he came with one move.

In the battle to block the southern exit of Dongguangou Gou, although he lost a group of newly recruited men, the results obtained in this battle were unprecedentedly huge.

This time, they did not just capture a Gushan Beizi, but captured a prince of the Manchu Tatars, and it was the famous Tenth Prince of the Manchu Tatars, Dodo.

Has such a thing ever happened?

Yuan Jin had been ups and downs in the army for many years. He only heard that the Manchu Tatars captured cities and territories, beheaded generals and captured flags, and killed several vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty. However, he had never heard of any Manchu Tatar prince being captured by the Ming Dynasty army!

Unheard of, never happened.

But this time he, Yuan Jin, followed Yang Zhen just in time for the meeting. What an honor it was!

From last night to now, when Yuan Jin thinks of this, he can't stop grinning from ear to ear. With this success at hand, what worries will he have about his official career in the future?

Thinking of this, Yuan Jin beamed and said to Yang Zhen: "Captain, it's his luck that Prince Niaosu of Mantatar didn't come. Now we have one of his uncles here, Prince Duduo of Heshuoyu.

Isn’t it more valuable than him?”

In terms of true value, Duoduo is certainly more valuable.

This man played an important role in the history of the Qing Dynasty entering the country and taking control of the Central Plains.

Capturing him now would be equivalent to cutting off Dorgon's right and left arm.

Without the help of Duduo, it is hard to say whether Dorgon will be able to quickly conquer the Central Plains and Jiangnan after entering the customs in the future. It is even hard to say whether Dorgon can dominate the political situation of the Qing Dynasty after Huang Taiji's death.

Therefore, the significance of killing Duduo is greater than that of killing Haug.

However, in the minds of the civil and military officials in the capital, Duduo may not be more valuable than Hauge. After all, Hauge is the eldest son of the current slave chief Huang Taiji, and the only adult eldest son.

In the eyes of the civil servants in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Hauge, the eldest son of the Qing Tartar slave chief, was of course more valuable than his uncle.

Hearing Yuan Jin mention Duduo, Yang Zhen asked casually: "Where is the Prince of Yu who is full of Tatars now?"

When he met Shi Huashan privately with Zu Dashou and Shi Huashan outside Songshan City, Yang Zhen had already judged from the conversation between Zu Dashou and Shi Huashan that the historical Prince Duduo of Heshuo Yu was probably involved in his raid on southern Liaoning.

Due to the influence of Huang Taiji, he was demoted to the title of King Jujue of Duoluo County.

But he hasn't seen Dodo who is awake yet, and he hasn't had time to carefully interrogate important prisoners such as Turg and Ilden, so he can't be sure yet.

Originally, even if such a thing was reported as a mistake, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely turn a blind eye and not care about it in order to highlight the value of this great victory.

But Yang Zhen didn't want to take advantage of this.

Therefore, unlike Yuan Jin, he directly called Duduo Prince Heshuoyu based on what little he knew about the Manchu Tatars in the past.

In fact, the titles of princes and princes among the Manchu Tatars are directly transliterated from Chinese. Although the writing methods are different, the pronunciation is similar.

Therefore, Yang Zhen couldn't hide this matter even if he wanted to.

Instead of having the truth come out and being accused of deceiving the emperor by the civil servants of the DPRK, Duoduo's identity and title were directly defined as:

The fifteenth legitimate son of the Laonu Chief Nuer Hachi, the younger brother of the Manchu Tatar pseudo-emperor Huang Taiji, the leader of one of the Eight Banners of Manchuria with the White Flag, and the tenth prince of the Manchu Tatars.

Yang Zhen believed that having these titles would be enough to demonstrate the noble status of Duduo and the great significance of capturing him.

Yuan Jin didn't hear so many things from Yang Zhen's words. When he heard Yang Zhen ask him, he immediately said with a smile: "I was afraid that Guo Xiaowu would be too busy and lose this rare item again, so I would have locked him in this ship early."

It’s in the cabin.”

"Oh, thank you for your trouble. How is Duduo doing now? Is he awake?"

"Wake up, wake up, woke up in the middle of the night last night. He was just hit by a bullet in the thigh, and there were a few iron shrapnel on his back, which penetrated deeply into the flesh, and he lost a lot of blood. If he can't be treated as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will die sooner or later.

Already."

When Yuan Jin saw Yang Zhen's question, he immediately asked and answered all the questions and told the whole story in one breath what happened after he took Duduo to the ship and imprisoned him:

"Actually, death means death. We just regret that they didn't die early. It's just that he has fallen into our hands now. He is a rare and wealthy man!

"The living is more valuable than the dead, and more valuable than the dead. So, Governor, we have to let him live first, and he must live until we have finished repaying our merits."

At this point, Yuan Jin saw Yang Zhen nodding, and immediately continued: "Captain, we have captured the prince Mantazi. This is an unprecedented achievement between the government and the public since the Liao Dynasty. From the perspective of brothers, nothing can be done

Requesting an order to offer prisoners means that the governor will take us to the capital to offer prisoners directly to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Yang Zhen looked at Yuan Jin and saw his expectant and fascinated face, so he nodded and said to him: "Your idea coincides with mine. However, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Everything will wait.

I’ll talk about it after I get back to Songshan.”

At this point, Yang Zhen paused, looked at Yuan Jin, and then said to him: "Let's go, lead the way, let's go see the ten princes full of Tatars!"

Yuan Jin's ship is one of the few 400-material warships among the various types of warships in the Juehua Island Navy. It has one deck above and another between the deck and the bottom tank.

Therefore, counting the bilge and the layer above the deck, this 400-material warship has three floors up and down.

But the only one that is usually used, or that naval officers will live on the ship, is the middle cabin.

The bottom tank is often the place where grain, machinery, heavy objects or ballast stones are loaded when the ship is at sea.

After Duduo was brought to this rather impressive 400-material battleship, he was imprisoned in the bottom cabin.

Yang Zhen led Ma Keqing, followed Yuan Jin, and went down to the middle cabin along the wooden ladder. He first came to the bed where he was staying, took off the armor on his body, and then followed him down to the bottom cabin easily.

The light in the bottom cabin was dim, and there was a musty smell that was choking on the mouth and nose.

As soon as Yang Zhen got off the boat, he saw Guo Xiaowu, and next to Guo Xiaowu was Dodo, the tenth prince of the Manchu Tatars, who was lying on his side on the boat with his hands and feet bound and his mouth gagged.

Duduo's armor was still on, but the arrow helmet on his head had disappeared, revealing the money rat tail on his head, which was extremely ugly.
