A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 310
"The eagle watches the wolf?"

Hong Chengchou took a look at Sun Chuanting: "Baigu, General Wang is loyal and invincible in fighting slaves and bandits. In order to repay Lu Jiandou's kindness, he will go thousands of miles to die. Such a loyal and brave general, you must be careful in your words, so as not to be cold The heart of a soldier."

Sun Chuanting sighed: "It's a pity that Lu Jiandou is not here..."

He didn't want to mention this matter: "It's ridiculous to say, my Tongzhou army has more than [-] soldiers, and Pinggu King Dou and others have only more than [-] soldiers. It's really chilling to think about asking them for help."

Hong Chengchou also nodded: "Although there are many troops in Tongzhou, they don't have the courage to fight like Wang Dou's troops. Yang Guozhu, a powerful tiger, is like a wolf like a tiger when he has Wang Dou's troops to support him. Once Wang Dou leaves, they are immediately defeated. The two troops There are five thousand horses together, but they lost to the same number of enemies as the slave general Oboi. In the Battle of Julu, Xuan Da's army of 1 fought against [-] slaves, where did their spirit go?"

"The same army and horses, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen fled in Julu, and captured Pinggu with Wang Dou, but they took the city lightly without firing an arrow or an arrow. Tens of thousands of slaves fled. Without Wang Dou, who was the champion of the three armies, my Ming soldiers would be Can't we fight?"

Hong Chengchou's expression was a little sad.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had already understood the matter of Guan Ning's army in Julu, and it was a tacit mutual understanding.

Sun Chuanting remained silent, and suddenly raised his voice: "Da Ming can't rely on General Wang for a single army, it's time to train troops, and train tens of thousands of soldiers who are as strong as General Wang. Master, the students have made plans. Wait for the slaves to retreat. No matter what, the students should go to Baoan Prefecture to watch how Wang Dou drills soldiers and horses."

Hong Chengchou nodded: "I also have this intention as a teacher."

"You guys who are wise, dare to fight?"

Hundreds of Qing cavalry flaunted their power in front of the camp, galloping and clamoring, but the camp of the Ming army was completely silent.Seeing how low his own morale was, Hong Chengchou sighed again, and Sun Chuanting looked in the direction of Huang Taiji, also in a daze for a long time.

Seeing the situation of the Ming army, the Qing army cheered even more. Dorgon suddenly said: "Because of the emperor's might, the Ming people are already frightened. Tens of thousands of soldiers dare not fight. Why don't our army march westward?" , captured the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will surely achieve a generation of hegemony, and create an incomparable achievement that the emperor Gao did not have."

Dorgon's words moved the hearts of all the princes and ministers around Huang Taiji, especially Prince Su Haoge who was ready to move. The Ming army is so weak. Although they can't capture the entire Ming country yet, they will take the capital and take all the people into captivity. Children, however, will deal an extremely heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, and it will be easier to capture people and money in the future.

Huang Taiji glanced at Dorgon, his expression was a bit cold, he shook his head slowly: "Ming's energy is not exhausted, it's not time yet."

He said: "In terms of the Ming Dynasty, it is like a big tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves. Taking Beijing is like cutting down a big tree. First cut from both sides, and the tree will fall by itself."

There was a thoughtful expression in his eyes: "I have thought over and over again, after our country is established in the future, if the soldiers make one move, if they abandon Yanjing and rise up, will they pursue it? Or if they don't pursue it, they will attack the capital, or they will not be able to conquer it. That is, surround and guard?"

"If the master of the Ming Dynasty wants to ask for peace, does he agree? Does he refuse? If I don't allow it, but he forces him to ask for peace, how should he deal with it? If God blesses and takes Yanjing, what should his people do? Anji? Baylor and others in our country are all greedy, what should be prohibited?"

"All kinds of methods, I haven't thought about it yet, and I can't take the capital of Ming Dynasty!"

What Huang Taiji said made all the ministers around him admire him even more, even saying that the Holy One is far-sighted, and he is really a great talent.Dorgon's expression was even more jealous. This kind of high-level attack strategy was beyond his imagination. In terms of his ability to govern the country, he was far from Huang Taiji.

Ning Wanwo, a scholar of the University of Hongwen, said loudly: "Your majesty is a sage, and my ministers look at today's situation. His Ming country has deep roots. If he directly takes the capital, the time has not yet come, and the disaster of Emperor Liao's virtue and glory may repeat itself. Ancient times There is a saying that one generation of monarchs and ministers must be produced by another generation. For the current plan, the sages can only use the sages of the past as models, study the classics of the sages, reform the rules, and gradually adopt the Chinese system. When the common people occupy the barbarian land, they will not be in a hurry."

This Ning Wan, I am the core figure of Huang Taiji's think tank, and I have offered advice and advice more than once, and Huang Taiji relies heavily on it.

After listening to Ning finish my words, Huang Taiji said solemnly: "What Xueshi Ning said is very true. Since I ascended the throne, I have established the official system and distinguished the clothes. I strictly ordered the Sixth Department and the Second Academy to use the 'Minghui Code' as the basis for the regulations. Dealing with our country's government affairs. I once thought of the strategy of defeating the Ming Dynasty, conquering Korea in the east, and connecting Mongolia and Tibet in the west, so as to encircle the Ming Dynasty for half a month. Gentlemen, translate and compile the classics of the Ming Dynasty's "Hongwu Baoxun", and perfect our country's strategy of defeating Ming."

After Ning Wan, I was so grateful that I bowed deeply: "I will do my best, and I will die."

……

Seeing the two people coming and going politely, the bannermen around Huang Taiji felt that it was boring, and they didn't dare to show it in front of the emperor, and it was extremely hard to hold back.Only Dorgon listened carefully to the question and answer of the two, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Huang Taiji looked at Zhenghuangqi Baya Latuzhang Jingtulai beside him, and asked, "Is Wang Dou and others in Pinggu still not moving?"

Tu Lai respectfully said: "Back to the emperor, on the third day of the lunar new year, my soldiers defeated the Ming generals Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei, and the Ming army in Tongzhou sent envoys to Pinggu for help. The servants were ordered by the emperor to intercept them and let the envoys go. They have already reached Pinggu."

He was a little strange: "From what the sentinel heard, Wang Dou and the others still stood still and did not lead the army back to help... Could it be that the sentinel warriors had made some omissions and intercepted them all?"

Huang Taiji shook his head: "Wang Dou in Pinggu must have received a rescue messenger."

With sharp eyes, he sneered, "What a guerrilla from the Ming Dynasty!"

He said: "Decree, Manchurian Xianghuang Banner third class Merlezhangjing Oboi is still the vanguard, leading [-] troops, and going straight to Pinggu. Our army will pull out the camp tomorrow morning, and take advantage of this vigor, the whole army will push forward!"

With the sound of "the emperor's sage", Dorgon further said: "Wang Dou alone is the only one who dares to fight in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor Tianwei comes in person, and taking Pinggu is like picking something out of a bag!"

Huang Taiji laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.

……

"The soldiers and horses of the slave chieftains have arrived, and the forward is the Qing Dynasty's inlaid yellow flag, Merezhangjing Aobai. This man is known as the number one warrior in Manchuria in that country!"

At noon on the sixth day, in the Pinggu garrison mansion, Wang Dou and the others received Wen Daxing's message that Yebu received information that Oboi's vanguard had already approached Machangying.Qing Emperor Huang Taiji's army broke out from Tongzhou this morning, and the whole army came to Pinggu.

Inside the mansion, a simple topographic map from Tongzhou to Pinggu was placed on the desk. Wang Dou, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others surrounded the map to watch.

"According to the scouts, there are 5000 men and horses in the vanguard of Oboi. There are more than 7000 slaves inlaid with yellow flags, and there are more than [-] armored men, including [-] Baya La soldiers. The slave chief Hongtai is estimated to have more than [-] troops. There are thousands of people holding white flags inlaid with soap (white flags inlaid with black borders) and carrying bird guns, which seem to be German soldiers and horses who have surrendered to the thief Kong You. There are about [-] people with different colors of flags, which seem to be the slaves and horses of the former Kodorgon. "

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that all the Qing soldiers who had been forced to come to Pinggu, the Ming army in Pinggu still had the ability to cope with the [-] Qing troops. The courage and confidence caused by the courtiers and others.

"Dorgon's slaves are nothing to worry about!"

Cao Bianjiao said decisively.

Dorgon and others originally gathered tens of thousands of people in the main force in Tianjin, and there were more than ten banner owners from Manchuria and Mongolia who had entered the customs, but at this time, less than [-] came with the army.Presumably they had already been terrified by Wang Dou, thousands of people came with the army, because they had a lot of love for the scene, and they didn't want to fight to the death.Maybe he would be happy to see Huang Taiji's strength damaged.

Wang Tingchen snorted coldly: "They really came, and their target was our Pinggu army. Fortunately, we didn't return to Tongzhou, otherwise we would fall into the tricks of the bandits!"

"The slave army came and the siege of Tongzhou was lifted. Our army is waiting for work at leisure, so we can meet the enemy calmly."

He was a little angry: "I didn't expect Kong Youde, a rebel, to accompany him, he brought thousands of firecrackers, do you want to have a firecracker with General Wang?"

"The slave thief has suffered enough from the general's guns, but he also wants to use the other way and return it to him?"

Wang Dou said: "Kong Youde didn't bring the artillery, so there is nothing to worry about!"

Unexpectedly, Kong Youde also came. This big traitor was enshrined as the King of Gongshun after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and his combat power cannot be underestimated.The thousands of blunderbuss he brought with him must have been the excellent blunderbusses that Sun Yuanhua spent a lot of money on, right?
After the rebellion surrendered to the enemy, those bird guns were also taken away by him.However, Kong Youde was born as a cavalry general, and he has a sharp artillery team trained by the Portuguese under his command.

This time he did not bring a cannon, so Wang Dou asked him to take a good look at what is called firecracker shooting.

However, the appearance of Kong Youde also sounded the alarm for Wang Dou. As his artillery and firecracker tactics are valued by the enemy or allies, he will face more and more firearm opponents in the future, and he must change accordingly.Especially in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was not a pedantic master.

Cao Bianjiao scolded: "Governor Sun's painstakingly researched sharp weapon has become a tool for him to help others and abuse him. He is really a hateful Shandong miner!"

Wang Dou said that Kong Youde was nothing to worry about, so it was nothing to worry about, he mused: "Excluding Dorgon and Kong Youde's army and horses, including the vanguard of Aobai, the main force of the East slaves this time is the slave chief Hongtai and Hao There are more than [-] people in Geliang Yellow Banner and Zhenglan Banner."

The Ming army in Pinggu has more than 1 people, and the opponent has more than [-] people, and there is not much difference in strength.Of course, this battle has to be cautious. Dorgon and others have [-] soldiers and horses. If they win, it's easy to say.

Wang Dou looked at the map: "Oboi, the vanguard of the slave soldiers, is about half a day's journey away from the main force of the slave chieftain Hong Tai, and has almost arrived at the Machang Camp. They marched for hundreds of miles, and the troops were exhausted, but our division waited for work with ease, and the morale was high. An ambush was set up at Daxingzhuang, and this man, the number one warrior in Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty, was greatly discouraged!"

Everyone in the room looked at each other and laughed.
