Chapter 325 Infighting?
Some people say that killing prisoners is unlucky, but for Huang Degong, there is no psychological burden in killing these surrendered Han flag soldiers.
These Han flag soldiers were frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and were responsible for defending Fushun and other places. They were favored by the Ming Dynasty. However, when Jiannu attacked, they surrendered to Jiannu without any resistance. Because Jiannu surrendered early, there was no
He was demoted to a coated slave, but was incorporated into the Eight Banners along with Li Yongfang.
It was their non-resistance that allowed Nurhaci to easily capture Fushun City, sweep away more than 100,000 people in Fushun City, gain a huge population and material strength, and later win the Battle of Sarhu.
These Han army flag soldiers were as timid as mice when facing the slaves, but later they were like wolves and tigers when facing the people of Liaodong. The old slaves massacred the entire Liaodong, and millions of Han people in Liaodong were slaughtered, including these Han army flags.
of credit.
How could Huang Degong be polite to such a traitor who betrays his country and seeks glory?
At dawn the next day, Zhao Erhan led his troops into the prisoner camp and began to massacre the Han army flags.
These Han flag soldiers had already had their weapons and armor confiscated, and they were powerless with their bare hands. In addition, they had eaten a full meal the night before, so they thought that the Ming army would not do anything to them, and that they would still serve as soldiers after changing camps.
There was no defensiveness at all.
One side is a heavily armed Ming army elite, and the other side is a defenseless prisoner with bare hands, and they attack at dawn when they are most sleepy, so the result can be imagined.
"Huang Degong, the dog thief, how dare you lie to me!" Li Shutai was shocked and angry when he saw the Ming army rushing into the camp and massacring them. Unfortunately, in order to give him a chance of survival, his father Li Yongfang did not hesitate to commit suicide, but he ended up like this.
.
If he had known this, he might as well have fought with the Ming army! Li Shutai regretted it extremely, but now, what's the use of regret? He didn't even have a knife, so he could only wait for death.
Li Shutai, another governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and governor of Fujian and Zhejiang during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had defeated Li Dingguo and defeated the Ming and Zheng forces to seize Kinmen Island. He was a famous general who made great contributions to the Manchu and Qing regime. He died like a pig or dog.
.
After Huang Degong killed the prisoners, he counted the gains. Together with the enemy killed in the battle yesterday, he got a total of more than 4,000 heads. Although they were all soldiers of the Han Army banner and were not really full of the Eight Banners, they were still elite slave builders. In addition, they captured a
More than a thousand war horses, as well as a lot of gold and silver confiscated from the Han army flag soldiers, totaling 78,000 to 80,000 taels, were all stolen from the people of the Ming Dynasty. These Han army flags were all taken advantage of by Huang Degong.
Such gains also made Huang Degong very satisfied. He gained more than 4,000 levels in one battle, which was unprecedented in the more than ten years of war between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu.
With such military exploits, promotion and promotion are just around the corner!
What? Let go of the main force of Jiannu? There is no other way. Jiannu has an army of tens of thousands, and he has less than ten thousand. It is not easy to win such a great victory. He killed four thousand enemies and lost less than a thousand of his own.
Who else but me, Huang Degong, can achieve such results?
Just when Huang Degong was full of ambition, Zhang Shize led 12,000 soldiers on horseback and rushed to Xiaotuan Mountain.
"Hahaha, Instructor Zhang, you are so late!" Huang Degong went up to greet him personally and smiled at Zhang Shize.
Although they were both from the Imperial Guard, Huang Degong belonged to the Wu Jinshi faction, while Zhang Shize belonged to the Xungui faction. Because of the conflict at the time of the training in Xiyuan, and coupled with the gap in family background, the two sides could not urinate in the same pot.
Now that he has won such a big victory, Huang Degong naturally has to show off and make some irony in front of Zhang Shize, his "enemy".
"Where is the Jiannu army?" Zhang Shize frowned and asked. He rushed all the way, hurrying and slowly, but still failed to catch up with the Jiannu army, which made Zhang Shize really depressed.
"You ran away. How can I stop Jiannu's army of tens of thousands with just a few thousand people? Instructor Zhang, I blame you for coming too late. If you could have arrived one day earlier, we could have defeated Jiannu."
All the slaves were left behind. But fortunately, our army killed at least four to five thousand Jiannu slaves, which is considered just so-so."
Huang Degong said in a calm tone. Four or Five Thousand Jiannu spoke in an understatement, looking calm and calm.
Zhang Shize was finally moved: "Did you really kill four to five thousand Jiannu slaves?"
Huang Degong said proudly: "If it's fake, why don't you believe it, instructor Zhang? Come on, come on, I'll let you take a look."
As he said this, he led Zhang Shize to the corner of the camp, where he saw countless ferocious heads piled on the ground, almost forming a hill.
"Four thousand two hundred and fifty-one slave heads, many of them are here!" Huang Degong said with a smile, looking at Zhang Shize hopefully, wanting to see shock and envy on Zhang Shize's face
.
However, Huang Degong was disappointed. Zhang Shize did not have these expressions on his face, but instead had a faint smile, as if he was mocking himself.
"Haha, Xiao Huang, you did a good job and lived up to my original teachings." Zhang Shize said with a smile.
Huang Degong was particularly disgusted by the word Xiao Huang, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he was in Xiyuan, instructors like Zhang Shize called him this.
"I wonder, instructor, how is your performance these days? I heard, instructor, that you were sent to Jibei, where did you wait until you found a slave?" Huang Degong asked with a sneer.
Zhang Shize said lightly: "How could Jian Nu have waited until he went to Jibei? Naturally, my instructor's performance is not as good as yours, Xiao Huang. In Jibei, he only killed and captured 20,000 Mongolian soldiers and captured 20,000 horses. But in the end
I arrived at the battlefield in time, killed more than two thousand Jiannu cavalry, and rescued the Governor who was besieged by Jiannu."
20,000 Mongolian soldiers, 20,000 war horses, and more than 2,000 slave cavalry rescued the governor Sun Chuanting and returned it. Huang Degong was dumbfounded when he heard this.
This horse riding is incredible, how is it possible! With more than 10,000 troops in Zhang Shize's hands, how could it be possible to achieve such a result?
But this kind of thing is easy to investigate. Zhang Shize should not lie. That would be meaningless and would only become a laughing stock. In this case, everything Zhang Shize said is true.
Thinking about Zhang Shize's record, and then looking at the more than 4,000 heads piled up, most of them were from prisoners who had no ability to resist. Thinking about how he was boasting so proudly just now, Huang Degong just wanted to go underground.
A crack appears, easy to get into.
"Xiao Huang, I'm not telling you, the camp you set up is very problematic. If you choose to set up the camp at the foot of the mountain, there will be no problem in blocking Jiannu's retreat with your troops. Then Jiannu must attack by force if he wants to escape. As long as you can
If we hold on for a day, I can arrive with my troops. If we attack from both sides, it is not impossible to keep the Jian slaves."
Zhang Shize didn't seem to notice Huang Degong's face and kept talking nonstop. Huang Degong was a bit brave on the outside but timid on the inside, so he had to be beaten from time to time.
After some beatings, Huang Degong's arrogance was completely suppressed, and Zhang Shize began to pass on Sun Chuanting's military orders, asking Huang Degong to leave a small number of men to clean up the battlefield, and then led the army to follow him to Shanhaiguan.
"Jiannu fled to Qian'an and wanted to escape through the border wall of Qian'an back to the outside of the pass. If we don't hunt down Jiannu, why should we go to Shanhaiguan?" Huang Degong asked in confusion.
Zhang Shize brought 12,000 people, plus Huang Degong's army, there are 20,000 troops, not much less than the slaves. If they catch up, even if they can't keep the main force of the slaves, they can still take a bite. Don't chase. Huang Degong was a bit puzzled by the fact that the slaves had regained the lost land in Qian'an, but went to Shanhaiguan.
"Jiannu is in a hurry to return to his home base outside the customs to deal with Mr. Lu. We may not be able to catch up. It is still nearly a thousand miles from Qian'an to Shenyang, and more than half of it is mountainous. We are not familiar with the road conditions. It is easy to pursue from Qian'an. We were ambushed by Jian Nu. On the contrary, everything from Shanhaiguan to Western Liaoning is under the control of our army, and there are official roads that can pass through it. We can rush to Liaodong as soon as possible to support Mr. Lu." Zhang Shize patiently explained Sun Chuanting's plan.
Lengkou, a mountain pass on the border wall, flags fluttering, and the border beacons for dozens of miles around were occupied by Eight Banners soldiers.
In one of the beacons, Huang Taiji's face was as sinking as water, and he looked coldly at Tong Yangxing who was kneeling on the ground.
In the battle of attacking Xiaotuan Mountain, most of the 5,000 Han gunners were killed and wounded. Tong Yangxing, as the deputy general, led the 2,000 Han gunners to attack Nanlu. Fortunately, he retreated early when he saw the opportunity, returned to the starting point of the attack, and successfully obtained the war horses to escape. He escaped from the pursuit of the imperial guard camp led by Zhao Erhan. However, most of the 2,000 Han troops under his command were lost, and less than 500 people fled back with him.
Of course, someone must be responsible for such a disastrous defeat. Li Yongfang and his son were trapped in Xiaotuan Mountain. Tong Yangxing, as the deputy commander of the Han Army Flag, also had an unshirkable responsibility. Fortunately, on the way back, Tong Yangxing had already thought of an excuse. In addition to shifting the responsibility for the defeat to Li Yongfang, there were other means to save his life.
"Great Khan, I have thought about it for a while. The main reason why our Han army suffered a disastrous defeat was that the Ming army's firearms were too powerful. They were not only equipped with a large number of firecrackers, but also powerful artillery.
Great Khan, our Eight Banners soldiers have unparalleled combat power and are invincible in the whole world, but their biggest shortcoming is that they are not strong in attacking fortresses. Our Eight Banners soldiers can defeat the Ming army without any surprise in the field, but if the Ming army hides in the city There isn't much we can do.
So the slave thought all the way and thought that we should also forge artillery, especially red cannons that can destroy city walls. If we have huge cannons, we can capture more Ming Dynasty cities in the future, and we can capture more.
Great Khan, I am a servant without talent, but I am willing to help the Great Khan forge cannons!"
After saying that, Tong Yangxing kowtowed deeply.
Huang Taiji's expression changed, and he finally gave up his plan to execute Tong Yangxing.
Tong Yangxing's ancestors were Jurchens and had Jurchen ancestry, but his father and ancestors all joined the Ming Dynasty and did business in the Ming Dynasty. They had already become naturalized Ming people. In Huang Taiji's eyes, he was just like Li Yongfang and was not trustworthy. These Ming people were able to surrender to the Ming Dynasty back then, but now that the Ming Dynasty is weak, they can surrender to the Ming Dynasty again. In order to prevent them from backstabbing, it is better to deal with them as soon as possible.
This time, Huang Taijishi planned to take over the Ming army and deal with both Li Yongfang and Tong Yangxing. Unexpectedly, Tong Yangxing escaped and even offered to help him cast the Hongyi cannon.
Huang Taiji naturally knows the power of the Hongyi cannon. It can really blast ten miles with one cannon. It is a weapon for the Ming army to defend the city. But in Huang Taiji's view, the best use of the Hongyi cannon is not to defend the city, but to attack the city!
If the Eight Banners Army had Hongyi cannons, it would be easier to attack the Ming army's cities in the future.
Of course, the most important thing now is to drive the Ming army back to Liaodong, but as a generation of heroes, it is natural to take precautions and have long-term plans.
"Well, because of your loyalty to me, I will forgive you this time." Huang Taiji said calmly, "When you return to Shengjing, you must cast the red cannon for me as soon as possible!"
He waved his hand and drove Tong Yangxing out. Hauge rushed in: "Amma, Mang Gurtai went to see Daishan. The two of them didn't know what they were discussing."
Huang Taiji's face suddenly darkened.
"Second brother, think about it carefully. Is our Kingdom of Jin getting worse and worse since Lao Ba became the Great Khan?"
In a camp, Mang Gurtai was persuading Daishan.
"Second brother, let me just say that last year, not long after Lao Ba took the throne, he led troops to attack Liaoxi. The attack was terrible. Not to mention that he did not get any benefits. First, Lu Xiangsheng burned a thousand cavalrymen, and then
Cao Wenzhao secretly attacked the grain team and lost tens of thousands of grain, forcing him to retreat from western Liaoning in embarrassment.
Then Lao Ba attacked the Wuliangha Mongolia, who had already occupied the old territory of Duoyan, but insisted on leading his troops westward, and ended up losing the life of Lao Fourteenth Dorgon in Zhangjiakou."
"The territory of our Kingdom of Jin is connected to the western part of Liaoning Province of the Ming Dynasty. When my father Khan was alive, he always attacked the western part of Liaoning Province, but Laoba had to have a whim and wanted to bypass Mongolia and attack the Ming Dynasty from Jibei. As a result, second brother, you have also seen that we lost our troops and generals.
Not to mention, even the old nest was attacked by the Ming army. Now Hetuala has been captured by the Ming army, the old place of Jianzhou has been burned into ruins, and countless bannermen have been massacred by the Ming army!"
"Second brother, tell me, is the current situation in Dajin caused by Lao Ba? Thanks to Lao Ba, he also boasts of reading countless military books of the Ming Dynasty. I don't think he even understands the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. How could he be so careless?
Those who attack others when their hometown is in danger are just like Guan Yunchang who defeated Maicheng!"
Mang Gurtai spoke ill of Huang Taiji angrily, while Daishan listened quietly and nodded in agreement from time to time.
"Second brother, our Daikin can't continue like this. You have to stand up. Let's dethrone Lao Ba from the position of Great Khan together, so that our Daikin can avoid defeat!" After a violent rant, Mang Gurtai
The last word.
Daishan finally spoke: "What then?"
"Then?" Mang Gurtai was stunned for a moment and then understood, "Second brother, I am willing to elect you as the Great Khan and lead my Eight Banners to defeat the Ming Army!"
Daishan shook his head: "I won't sit in this sweaty position."
Mang Gurtai was overjoyed: "Second brother, if you don't want to sit down, then I will do it. As long as I have your support, I will definitely be able to overthrow Lao Ba."
Daishan shook his head again: "Lao Wu, it's not that I look down on you, you are simply not suitable to sit in the position of Khan!"
