In Prince Lu's Mansion in Yanzhou, Rao Yubeile Abatai, the Manchu general who conquered the Ming Dynasty, was enjoying fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women in the main hall with a group of generals and nobles who had conquered the Ming Dynasty this time.
This time, although Zhengming encountered a series of troubles at the beginning, his escape into the south was extremely smooth.
The capture of Yanzhou City this time was even more unexpected. I originally thought that such a big city would be very difficult to fight. For example, Jinan City was well-defended. The Qing army had to give up decisively after fighting once. But they did not expect that the defense of Yanzhou City was actually sparse.
Normally, we would just send some traitors into the city, and then the army would surround them for two or three days and then defeat them in one fell swoop with the help of the traitors in the city.
The Qing army is different from the peasant army. They do not have the mass base and time to besiege the city for a long time. They can only attack the city quickly. If a city cannot be broken after being besieged for four or five days, they can only give up. If the defenders of Yanzhou City were slightly
After serving some snacks and King Lu spending some money from his treasury, the situation will not be like this.
Now it's better, all the family property accumulated by the Lu Palace for more than two hundred years has been given to the Qing army. Except for a few of the palace concubines, female family members and a group of children who escaped, everyone else has become a prisoner.
Abatai found a million taels of silver and a lot of precious goods from King Lu's treasury. With these harvests alone, he could pay the bills when he returned to the outside world.
After entering Yanzhou City, the Qing army took advantage of the situation and captured a series of nearby prefectures and counties, occupying several county and prince palaces. The gains were also considerable. Are these vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty so rich? At this time, Abatai was thinking
I am already thinking about whether to continue going south to make a fortune.
Just when Abatai was in a state of drunkenness, looking at the palace maid beside him, filled with animal lust, deputy general Turge suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry.
As soon as Turg entered the palace, he said: "Baylor, something happened!"
"What happened? What happened? But Minggou sent a large army to Yanzhou?" Abatai did not take Turg's coming to report the military situation seriously. In his opinion, the biggest thing was that the Ming army was transferred.
The army came to attack Yanzhou. He knew very well the combat power of the Ming army. In front of the fast-moving Qing army, they were not a threat at all. At worst, they would give up Yanzhou City and move to another place to rob. In the past few days, the Qing army has been there
There has been a lot of robbery in this city, and there is not much money to be squeezed out of here.
"It's not the Ming army attacking, but the grain harvesting teams we sent in the direction of Juye. Several teams didn't return on time and the news was lost."
"The grain harvesting team has lost news? How many people have not returned?" The Qing army has very strict military discipline. Even acts such as robbery must be carried out in accordance with military orders, and the people below will not be allowed to make their own decisions.
Therefore, if the grain harvesting team could not return as scheduled, there must have been an accident. Upon hearing this, Abatai immediately sat upright and his expression became serious.
"Baylor, there are three grain harvesting teams and nearly 400 people have not returned as scheduled and there is no news."
Four hundred people did not return? Could it be that they encountered a large force of the Ming army? It would be difficult for the ordinary Ming army to annihilate all the Qing army's grain collection teams of one to two hundred. Abatai quickly asked: "In the giant
Have you heard that there is a large force of the Ming army in the wild area?"
"No! We have already sent detective horses here to find out the news in this area. If there is a large Ming army in Juye, there is no way they will not come to support us when we attack Yanzhou City."
"There is no army? Our grain harvesting team just disappeared out of thin air? How is this possible!"
"Baylor, calm down. I've sent a large number of people to investigate the news. It won't take long to figure out the missing news about the grain team."
Abatai and Turg were very concerned about the inexplicable disappearance of the grain team, and they were also surprised. They couldn't figure out why an unknown enemy suddenly appeared. Could it be the main force of the Ming army?
Hidden his whereabouts, sneaked in around them and laid an ambush?
On the evening of the second day of the incident, there was news. But the cost of getting this news was a bit high! More than 300 Qing troops would never come back.
"Tu bandits! They are actually Tu bandits! This group of Tu bandits are too courageous. They dare to go against our Qing Dynasty cavalry! You are also useless. You knew there were enemies, but they succeeded in a sneak attack and killed hundreds of people.
Horse." Abatai saw the news from Turg and cursed in anger. He thought that the elite troops of the Ming army entered their side, but he did not expect that the one who ambushed the Qing army's grain team was actually from the southwest of Yanzhou.
Jiaxiang County's armed bandits and cavalrymen of the Qing Dynasty actually fell into the trap of a group of bandits who couldn't stand up. This is really irritating.
"Baylor, it's not that the slaves are useless, but this group of bandits is really difficult to deal with. Their combat power is average, but they are so elusive that they are hard to guard against. As long as they enter the territory of Jiaxiang, these bandits will attack you at any time.
If there are many of us, they will hide and go away; if there are few of us, they will be fooled!"
"Erotic? Can the bandits fly? The soldiers we sent out are all on horses. No matter how fast they run, how can they be as fast as horses?" Abatai was very angry at Turge's words. How fast could a group of bandits run?
?This is too exaggerated.
"Baylor, they can't fly, but they can burrow into holes. I don't know what's going on in Jiaxiang. There are a lot of holes. Thanks to these holes, the bandits can come and go freely. They can attack our army at any time. Let's chase them.
, we can only hang around near the entrance of the cave with no choice!"
"Burrows? How many burrows can they have? They can't have them all over the mountain, right?"
"There are caves all over the mountains and even villages. Our grain harvesting team probably entered a village with caves, and was caught off guard by the bandits who suddenly appeared."
It’s so irritating! Abatai felt that he had been insulted. He was bullied by a group of rat-like bandits hiding in a hole in the ground. The most irritating thing was that he knew they were bullying people, but he still continued to bully them.
Nothing can be done!
"Turg, go and give the order! Mobilize 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses for Ben Beile. I will personally lead people to dig out these rats. I still don't believe that I can't deal with a bunch of bandits hiding underground. Back then, Ben Beile was young.
When I was in the country, I also caught rats in burrows in the countryside, and I was especially good at using smoke to smoke rats. This time, I used the smoke attack method to smoke out all the rats that dared to go against our master of the Qing Dynasty, so as to frighten them.
Meet Akito nearby."
In two days, Abatai mobilized 40,000 troops and marched straight towards Jiaxiang County. He did not believe that he could not avenge being bullied by a group of bandits. Abatai made up his mind that he must kill these gangs.
The bandits were all picked out and slaughtered, so that the people on the ground in Shandong knew that the Qing army was not to be trifled with, and the most correct choice was to just surrender and be captured!
