Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 165 The Eight Banners Army Dispatches
Mang Gurtai refused to accept.

"We are in the majority now. And we are all the most capable fighters in Zhenglan Banner. Don't we have to beat these smart dogs? Let's fight them!"

Mang Gurtai raised his waist knife and shouted.

"Fight them!"

"Swear to follow the master!"

"..."

More than a dozen people drew their knives and roared angrily.

"The time has come to follow Master to your death. As long as you can kill these bright dogs and survive, Master will never treat you badly!"

Mang Gurtai boosted his morale and took the lead to rush towards Niu Dali and others.

They have to rely on horse speed to rush to Niu Dali and others, and do the final fight.

Ping Pong Pong.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, people kept falling off their horses.

When Mang Gurtai watched the distance getting closer and closer, the Ming army suddenly divided into two small flags, which drew arcs, one left and one right, and cut them at a distance of thirty or forty steps. .

Mang Gurtai felt as if he had punched cotton.

He wanted to work hard, but the other party refused to contact them.

And when they ran, the other party stuck to him like a dog's skin plaster...

puff!
Mang Gurtai worked hard for days and kept his eyes open from last night until now. Under the rage, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

So bullying!
This is simply too bullying!

"Have no guts! Do you dare to put down your firearms, let's fight fairly with real swords and guns?"

Mangurtai let out a mournful roar.

"Hahaha! Dog tartar, are you joking? When you attacked our Ming Dynasty, did you ever think about putting down your bow and arrow, getting off your horse, and fighting our Ming soldiers with your bare hands?"

Niu Dali laughed loudly.

Behind him, the other sergeants also laughed.

They will never show their bravery, and they will never give Mangurtai a chance.

With rifles and pistols, they were beaten while hanging, and all the dozen or so Tartars were shot and fell off their horses.

Mangurtai was the key target of everyone's attack. He was shot several times, fell off his horse, and fell to the ground on his back, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

……

This battle lasted until dusk and sunset, when the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield and returned to the camp.

"All the money, food and trophies must be gathered, the cotton armor on all the corpses must be pulled off, and the weapons must be brought back."

Before it was too late to celebrate, Zhao Cheng issued a series of orders.

Old cotton armor can also be sold for money!

Moreover, the price of this thing is not low, depending on the appearance, there are thousands of sets.

Zhao Cheng suspects that the system collects according to the film and television props.

It's a pity that it is not priced according to antiques.

"All the corpses must be collected and burned."

Zhao Cheng specially exchanged a batch of gasoline and burned the corpse.

It's not how kind he is, but because of the current pandemic, if a large number of corpses are thrown away at will, it may immediately ignite and spread the plague.

The flames of beep-beep-boom ignited, and the smell of black smoke and scorching wafted for dozens of miles with the wind.

……

Jurchen Camp.

One piece of news gathered in front of Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji's mood fluctuated.

When he first heard that Zhenglan Qi had lost the battle and that Mang Gurtai's life and death were unknown, Huang Taiji was very excited to arrive.

Mang Gurtai is his confidant's trouble.

In his later years, Nurhachi actually intended to pass the throne to Dorgon, and made many arrangements for this.

For example, let the three brothers Dorgon, Duoduo and Azig take over his two yellow flags.

Then, he was going to give Dorgon the inlaid red flag.

But before he could arrange it, he died.

The intention of paying so much attention to the three young sons of the same mother is actually very obvious, that is, to let Dorgon take over his position as the Great Khan.

The other brothers can naturally see this too.

They don't want the position of the Great Khan to fall into the hands of the three brothers who hold heavy soldiers.

Therefore, after Nurhachi died, he immediately united to exclude and deal with the three brothers.

Huang Taiji took the opportunity to take the throne.

After he came to power, because everyone joined forces to suppress the three brothers, the three brothers were actually weak.

The power of his Great Khan is not too great, and he implemented the short-lived eight kings' governance in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Theoretically speaking, Huang Taiji alone has no say in the major events of the Jin Kingdom, and the eight banner owners should jointly decide.

Among them, those with the greatest power and the greatest right to speak are the four banner owners, known as the Four Great Baylors.

Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.

During the court meeting, the four major Baylors also sat facing south, and there were four chairs, and they could sit together.

Mang Gurtai dared to draw his sword in front of the tent when he disagreed with each other. It was not just that he was reckless, but that he really had the confidence.

Because his status is not much lower than the Great Khan Huang Taiji.

Of course, in recent years, Huang Taiji led the Kingdom of Jin to continuous victories. Wherever the army went, it was invincible, so Khan's position became more and more stable.

But the threat of the Big Four Baylor has always been there.

After Huang Taiji came to power, he did not kill the three Dorgon brothers because the three brothers were young and easy to control.

It just happened to use their strength to fight against the three Baylors.

After Mang Gurtai drew his sword in front of the imperial court, he was put on the blacklist of must-kill.

Now that Zhenglan Qi was suddenly defeated, Huang Taiji was naturally happy.

But he soon discovered that something was not quite right.

"What? Mangurtai was killed in battle, and Zhenglan Banner was completely defeated?"

By the time the sun set, there were only more than 800 remnants of the Zhenglan Banner gathered.

8000 people, in the end only more than 800 remnants were gathered...

What is this concept?
Since then, Zhenglan Banner has been removed from the list!

Huang Taiji looked gloomy.

It was something he dreamed of.

But he doesn't want to get there that way.

"Go! Ask Mr. Fan to come."

Could it be that the Ming court used a lot of troops and wanted to fight them in a decisive battle with the Kingdom of Jin?
Although he interrogated the deserters, everyone agreed that there were only more than 1000 Ming soldiers who defeated HQ.

But it's unbelievable.

Huang Taiji still couldn't believe it was true.

Soon, a man in a robe with a refined temperament came to the big tent.

"Xiaomin Fan Yongdou, I have seen the big sweat."

Fan Yongdou bowed slightly towards Huang Taiji.

"Sir, you are welcome!"

Huang Taiji stepped forward quickly, supporting Fan Yongdou's hands.

"Sir is a distinguished guest of my Dajin Kingdom and a friend of my Huang Taiji, so don't treat me like this."

It has to be said that although the Jurchen at this time was extremely brutal and slaughtered cities at every turn, as a rising regime, it was more dynamic than the regime of Mongolia, Ming Dynasty, and even the regime of Li Zicheng, who was a refugee.

Huang Taiji attaches great importance to using talents for me.

The Ming army that surrendered in the past often dispersed after a fight, and became capable of fighting.

A large number of craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty brought their skills to forge weapons and armor for the Qing Dynasty...

That's not just by chance.

"This time, sir, I want to ask if the Ming court intends to use troops against our country of Jin? In Xuanfu Town, is there any sign of a large army gathering, or of grain and grass being transported?"

The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first.

This is the most basic truth.

If you want to fight the Kingdom of Jin, it is a national war.

The movement must not be small.

Fan Yongdou had heard about the Zhenglan Banner a long time ago, and had expected it before entering the tent.

After thinking for a while, he replied:

"Khan, as far as Xiaomin knows, the Ming court has no plans to use troops against your country. In Xuanfu Town, there is no sign of a large army gathering, or of grain and grass being transported.

The Ming court's current treasury is empty and stretched.There are refugees all over the country and uprisings continue.Emperor Chongzhen was too busy suppressing rebels everywhere, so he had no time to take care of things outside the pass.

What's more, they have no food to adjust and no soldiers to use. "

This is the most embarrassing part of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

For more than ten years, no large-scale counterattack against Jiannu has been launched.

Because he had no money or food, he was so poor that he couldn't even pay for his departure.

"This is strange. Could it be that the Ming army really only had more than 1000 people?" Huang Taiji frowned.

"The Great Khan is worrying about the battle in Zhenglan Banner?" Fan Yongdou asked.

"Not bad." Huang Taiji nodded.

"If it's for this reason, Xiaomin has something to say."

"Oh? Please tell me, sir!" Huang Taiji said with a very humble attitude.

"The Ming army that Zhenglan Banner encountered is called the Qiangdi Army. Xiaomin has heard about this Qiandi Army.

They are a recent rise.It is said to be in Huai'an Weinan, a small place called Qiangdi.

It's just a place with a hundred households, but it's very rich.

Their Hundred Household Officer is called Zhao Cheng, who has received the inheritance of Zhuge Wuhou and the Mohists, and is best at making Zhuge artifacts.

Their entire army is equipped with Zhuge artifacts.It is said that there is a Zhuge god gun, which can be fired quickly and can kill strong ground hundreds of steps away, even three-layer armor cannot block it.

It's really sharp!There are also all kinds of rare playthings, which have never been seen or heard before.It is said that there is a fetish, the night is like a bright moon hanging high, and it is as bright as the day. "

The Fan family was a businessman from Shanxi.

The main route for them to do business is from Jingxuan Mansion in Shanxi to outside the customs.

The Fan family has naturally heard about the rise of strong lands.

"The inheritance of Zhuge Wuhou and the Mohists?"

Huang Taiji was refreshed when he heard it.

Like his father Nurhachi, he likes to watch "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he admires and admires Zhuge Liang the most.

"Sir, do you think this is a myth or a fact?"

In fact, Huang Taiji already had the answer in his heart.

He heard from the remnant soldiers who had returned from the defeat of the Zhenglan Banner that at that time, several suns suddenly rose in the camp of the Ming army, illuminating the night like the day.

Because everyone has never seen this before, they were frightened for a while, so they collapsed instantly.

Otherwise, with so many people in Zhenglan Qi, it would not be so easy to defeat.

"The orange sentence came to the nest; there must be some reason for it. Even if this rumor is exaggerated, I think that the hundred households named Zhao Cheng have indeed obtained the inheritance of Zhuge Wuhou."

Fan Yongdou's words made Huang Taiji nod repeatedly.

"So, all the key lies in this Baihu named Zhao Cheng?"

His eyes lit up.

Ming Ting was still the Ming Ting he knew.

If only Zhao Baihu had a problem, he just had to kill or win over Zhao Baihu before the Ming court.

"If this Zhao Baihu can be used by me, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Huang Taiji's eyes were fiery.

"The Great Khan is thirsty for talents, he really has the demeanor of the ancient sages. However, the ancestors dared to think that now is not the time.

Zhao Baihu has just won a battle. If we go to recruit at this time, he will think that we are weak, and it will be difficult for him to surrender sincerely.

Xiaomin suggested that Great Khan lead the army and go to teach him a lesson.

First of all, it is also an explanation to the Eight Banners.

Second, let him know the strength of my Eight Banners army.

When the time comes, Xiaomin is willing to be a lobbyist for Da Khan and persuade Zhao Baihu to surrender sincerely. "

Fan Yongdou bowed to suggest.

"Okay! Mr. Fan, this is a good word. Just follow what Mr. Fan said."

Huang Taiji is a well-deserved master of enlightenment. He made a decision and immediately began to dispatch troops.

He knew that the most important thing at this time was speed.

"The Ming army was lucky to win, knowing that our army is here, it will definitely return to Xuanfu Town.

They have won such a big victory, and the Ming court will definitely feel confident.

At that time, I don't know how many people will think that our Dajin is nothing more than this, and they will have the idea of ​​​​using troops against our Dajin.

This is absolutely intolerable.The strong land army must be defeated before the news is sent back to the Ming court! "

Huang Taiji thought very clearly that the morale of the Daming Frontier Army must not be boosted.

There are few people in the Kingdom of Jin.

The Daming Frontier Army is in dire straits now, but the number of them is many times larger than them.

Once they recover, their Kingdom of Jin will be suppressed.

Now, Huang Taiji has no intention of overthrowing the Ming court and occupying the great country of Ming Dynasty.

In fact, until they entered the customs with Wu Sangui, the Manchus did not dare to think about occupying the beautiful country of Ming Dynasty for a long time at the beginning.

The closed customs policy has been implemented, and the population is not allowed to migrate to the northeast, leaving a piece of land for future generations.

Once they are driven away by the Han people in the future, they still have room to retreat.

As a result, the Northeast was sparsely populated, and a large piece of land was cut off by Da Mao...

That was more than 200 years later, and now Huang Taiji is very thoughtful.

Dispatch troops and horses on the spot, and immediately, the army is dispatched.

……

On Zhao Cheng's side, he had just cleaned the battlefield and rested all night. Early the next morning, he saw dust steaming in the distance.

Pieces of white clouds fell on the ground, sweeping over.

"The white flag?"

Zhao Cheng put down the binoculars and smiled.

The owner of Zhengbai Banner is Dorgon.

He is very interested in Dorgon.

This person was Nurhachi's appointed heir, and his throne was taken away by Huang Taiji.

With his young age and good health, Huang Taiji survived.

Then, military power is in hand.

The Qing Dynasty was able to enter the customs because Dorgon led troops to compete with Dashun and Nanming for the world and defeated them.

In the end he became the "Father Regent".

If he wants to become emperor, it is only a matter of one sentence.

Moreover, it is very understandable for him to claim the emperor, it is not regarded as usurping power, it can be said that he is taking back the throne that originally belonged to him.

But this product is not called emperor.

So that after death, he was liquidated and his grave was dug, which is really a bit miserable.

Zhao Cheng really wanted to meet this savage hero in person.

Of course, the current Dorgon is still very young, and he certainly does not have the demeanor of ten or twenty years later.

However, Zhao Cheng did not act rashly this time.

Facing the request of his generals to fight, he hesitated for a moment and then refused.
