Ming Zuo

Chapter 208 Sun Chuyang

Facing Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and others, Tang Gudai couldn't lift his head.

But in the face of Dorgon, who has not yet become powerful, Tang Gudai is not afraid at all.

"Dorgon, you can doubt me, but you can't doubt the warriors of Dajin. If there is nothing special about this Ming army, how can my Dajin warriors be completely wiped out?"

He is not afraid of Dorgon, and similarly, Dorgon has no fear of this lost brother.

"Heh, my Dajin warrior is naturally unparalleled in the world. But the person who commands the army..."

The implication is that Amin, Tang Gudai and others are all included.Of course, this also includes Turge, Chakara and others.

Huang Taiji frowned, feeling Dorgon's malice.

But now that the timing is not right, he can only endure it.

Huang Taiji knew very well that after Amin's death, his biggest opponent was Mangurtai.

If Mang Gurtai is not resolved, and Dorgon is attacked, it is impossible to force the Dorgon brothers to Mang Gurtai's side.

Once they merged, Jin Ke split up.

And since he ascended the throne of Khan, Dorgon has always been obedient.What would Daishan think if he shot Dorgon without a legitimate reason?
Thinking of this, he decided to comfort Daishan first.

"Brother, I'm so sorry."

Daishan's son Shuotuo also died under Qingshuiguan, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, Daishan never recovered from his grief.

However, since he gave up the Khan position and chose to support Huang Taiji, one can imagine Daishan's state of mind.

He barely steadied himself and asked, "Tang Gudai, what's different about that Ming army?"

Tang Gudai breathed a sigh of relief.

What he was most afraid of was that Huang Taiji would punish him without even asking.Now that I can speak, I can get rid of some ties no matter what.

"Khan, Big Baylor, although the Ming army is small in number, their firearms are sharp. Our white-armored soldiers can't defend against their firecrackers from a hundred paces away..."

"What did you say?"

"Is this true?"

Everyone in Houjin turned pale with fright, Huang Taiji stood up abruptly, his gaze became dangerous.

Instinctively, he felt that Tang Gudai was lying.

What kind of equipment is that white armored soldier?
Wear chain mail inside, iron armor outside, and a layer of cotton armor in the middle.In the past when fighting the Ming army, even within twenty paces, the Ming army's guns were powerless.

The same is true for the firecracker experiment that Houjin himself did not cut corners.

As a result, Tang Gudai now said that there are firecrackers that can penetrate the defense of white armored soldiers from a hundred steps away. What does this mean?
This means that the most core and most powerful armed force of the Houjin Dynasty has lost its effect.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Tang Gudai quickly produced evidence.

"When the minister broke through, he was followed by white armored soldiers, and he was shot to death by the Ming army's gunfire before he ran too far. The minister knew that the matter was important, so he dragged the man back, and he was outside."

Huang Taiji immediately shouted: "Bring it in."

The weather in June was very hot. Even if Tang Gudai ran desperately, it would be more than ten days before he returned to Shenyang, so the body of the white armored soldier had already begun to rot.

However, at this time, the high-ranking Houjin officials ignored the stench of the rotting corpse and stepped forward one after another to check the injuries.

The effect is obvious.

The wound that pierced through the three layers of armor was so shocking that it made all the high-level officials jump with fear.

"Really... really can't prevent it?"

Yue Tuo muttered to himself, feeling cold all over his body, and couldn't help worrying about the future war.

If the Ming army was equipped with such firecrackers, would there be any more to fight?

He was not very sad about the death of his younger brother Shuotuo.

The relationship between the two brothers is not very good, Yue Tuo is a loyal fan of Huang Taiji, while Shuo Tuo is close to Dorgon.

Hauge suddenly thought of something, he untied the armor himself, found the wound on the corpse, and dug it up with a dagger.

After a while, a lead bullet fell into his hand.

Hauge looked and looked, wondering and wondering.

"Father Khan, this lead bullet seems to be similar to the one that injured me."

At first Hauge thought he was injured by accident, but he was a veteran in the battlefield after all, the more he thought about it after returning, the more he was wrong.Especially the people below were also discussing a lot, saying that the Ming army's firecrackers hit so far that night, so he took it seriously.

His armor is of course the best, basically the same as that of a white armored soldier.

Hearing Tang Gudai's words at this time, the two sides immediately compared each other.

Huang Taiji didn't speak, his eyes were focused on the lead bullet that had already been deformed.

He was thinking in his heart, since the Ming army had such powerful firecrackers, how should they fight future battles?
Ning Wan and I were originally hiding aside, but when I saw this, I couldn't help opening my mouth.

"I don't know who the generals of the Ming army are?"

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, only to realize that they had overlooked key issues.

They have been fighting in the capital for several months, and have never encountered such a terrible firecracker.Only Hauge and Amin met, and one was injured and the other died.

The rest of the Ming army performed as expected.

Therefore, it can be inferred that this group of Ming troops is quite different.

But the leading generals, no one knows.

Hauge thought of something again, and asked, "Tang Gudai, do you know the number of the Ming army?"

He didn't see the Ming army number that night, and was reprimanded by Huang Taiji when he came back.

But no matter what, he didn't have close combat with this group of Ming soldiers that night, and it was late at night, so it made sense that he couldn't see the number.

This time Tang Gudai fought hand-to-hand with the Ming army, so he can't still see clearly, right?

Tang Gudai's face turned bitter, and he had to confess again.

"This group of Ming army has very few flags, only a solid red flag with no markings on it. I really don't know where it is sacred."

Huang Taiji's complexion became brighter, but he also had an idea.

"Go and investigate. It is impossible for Ming people not to spread the word about killing Amin and so many big gold warriors. They will definitely know who this person is."

The people below will lead the way.

After such a period of time, Huang Taiji has figured out how to deal with the aftermath.

"Ten catties of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand catties of grain, and more than a hundred horses of various kinds were allocated from Zhengbai Banner and sent to Karaqin as a token of condolence."

The Mongolian ministries of Harqin have suffered heavy losses. If compensation is not given, it cannot be said that they are divorced from Germany.

Through this detour and knocking on the pass, Huang Taiji grasped the pulse of the Ming Dynasty and knew that this route was extremely important.For this reason, it is worthwhile to pay more to win over the various ministries of Mongolia.

In addition to the Mongols, the Han people also had to be appeased.

Huang Taiji is also very decisive.

"Carry the families of Bao Chengxian, Gao Hongzhong, and Cao Zhenyan into the flag, and let their children serve in the army."

Later generations have always believed that the Eight Banners of Manchuria are all Jurchens, but in fact this is not the case.

Since Nurhachi established the Eight Banners system, there are Mongolians and Han people in the Eight Banners.

Although there are no Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners yet, Huang Taiji's methods of winning people's hearts are also extraordinary.

The family members of Bao Chengxian, Gao Hongzhong, and Cao Zhenyan were directly carried into the Eight Banners, enjoying the same status as the Jurchens.No way, it gave the Liaodong Han people more thoughts, and I'm afraid they will work harder in the future.

Dorgon looked at Huang Taiji Guojue like this, he couldn't help secretly vigilant, and became more and more submissive.

....................................

Zuo Menggeng didn't know that he was being targeted by Houjin.

Even if he knew, he didn't care.

It's a matter of time, and it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or a day later.

Anyway, he is in Shandong, and he won't face Hou Jin directly for several years.

Apart from being busy with training the army, he was also busy with his own marriage.

The Zuo and Xu families were interested in each other, and there was no accident in the process of proposing marriage.Exchanging geng posts is just a matter of respecting customs and going through a process.

There is no change in the marriage negotiation, and the two families are not short of money.

The Zuo Mansion has prepared six carmines, a set of rings and earrings.At the same time, there was a betrothal gift, and more than [-] carts were fully loaded, and Zuo Yan sent them to the capital under the escort of Zuo Yan.

Ten days later, Xu's return gift also arrived, and the formation was equally extraordinary.

The escort is a scribe who is about fifty years old.But as soon as the registration number was registered, everyone was shocked.

"I'm the new governor of Denglai, Sun Chuyang."

Sun Yuanhua suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Menggeng just like that, still acting as the messenger of the Xu family to return the gift.

The rank of this courtesy guest is a bit high, so scared Zuo Menggeng almost jumped up.

"It's Huo Donggong face to face."

Zuo Menggeng held the junior etiquette and didn't dare to neglect, and at the same time hurriedly sent people to invite Qu Shixu and Zhang Jimeng.

In any case, Sun Yuanhua is a senior official, and it would be impolite for local officials not to show up.

Sun Yuanhua was not serious, he came up and grabbed Zuo Menggeng's arm.

"The mentor praised you very much, saying that there are few in the sky and nothing on the earth. I was curious and invited this job. Tell me quickly, how did you kill five thousand captives?"

Since he was on his own, Zuo Menggeng also relaxed.

"Don't be impatient, Master Huo..."

Sun Yuanhua was impatient.

"You are the son-in-law of your benefactor, why should our family see you? Just call me uncle."

Zuo Menggeng is good at what he does.

"Uncle came all the way from afar, it's really hard work. Let's have a good rest first, and my nephew will have his say."

Only then did Sun Yuanhua remember that Zuo Menggeng had to accept a gift from the Xu family in return.

He had a weird smile, and he pulled Zuo Menggeng to a dense carriage, and said pointingly: "Zhongheng, the Xu Mansion has prepared a generous return gift this time. But if you want to say that He Li is the most precious, Nothing more than this. Guess what gift is here?"

Zuo Menggeng was dizzy.

The betrothal gift and the gift in return have been fixed for a long time, why are you still playing charades?

Just when he was hesitating whether to guess or not, the curtain of the carriage in front of him was lifted from the inside, revealing a picture-like eyebrow that is more beautiful than the scorching sun and charming.

It is appropriate to be angry and happy, as if the West Lake is full of lotus in June, enjoying the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River.

Zuo Menggeng was dumbfounded.

"You...how did you come?"
