The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 386
On the Ude Grassland, soldiers from the Wansunite and Khalkha tribes drank wine to celebrate the victory. Only Dai Xiuyuan was not involved.Although the result of this war was what he expected, the victory has nothing to do with him,

He found a secluded place overlooking the vast grassland, thinking about how to get Dorgon to send more troops into the desert.He had received the news that Hong Chengchou had summoned an army in southern Zhili. If there were more Qing soldiers outside the Great Wall, there would be one less in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Why is the military commander hiding here? Come, come, drink!" Teng Jisi laughed and greeted him from a long distance away, and then motioned to the guards beside him to bring Dai Xiuyuan a bowl of wine, "I will discuss with the three generals of Khalkha. Tomorrow, I will drive to Chahar, so I must not be drunk today, haha!"

Dai Xiuyuan took a sip from the wine bowl, shook his head and said, "Khan, we can't go to Chahar, and we have to stay in Wude for a while."

"Oh? Why?" Teng Jisi asked in amazement, "If Shuosai knew that Duoduo was defeated, he would definitely come to Mobei to seek battle. The terrain near Moss in Chahar is narrow, which is most suitable for ambush Manchurians!"

"In my opinion, Shuosai probably won't come to Mobei." Dai Xiuyuan said, "Earlier, Duoduo chased after Sunit's main force because he had superior military strength. He only needs to win a single battle to frighten the Mongolian tribes." .

"But the situation is very different now. Our army still has nearly 2 horses and has the power of new victories, while Shuo Sai's troops are only [-], and most of them are Horqin cavalry. If he fights us now, There is no certainty of victory.”

"Then... what does the military division mean?"

"Return to Hulun Lake. Ninety percent of the Qing army will avoid our main force and attack the Sunite tribe to avenge Duoduo."

Startled, Teng Jisi nodded and said, "The military advisor is right. Then I will invite the three Khalkha troops to go south to help defend."

Dai Xiuyuan shook his head again, "No, the Great Khan should suggest that the Khalkha army continue to go east and harass Horqin and even the Hulunbuyuer area.

"And the Great Khan only led the Sonite tribe back to his hometown, and showed more of the recently seized items, and called on the Tumet tribes to fight against the Qing Dynasty like you. At that time, Jianlu will be exhausted everywhere, and there will be no spare power to attack the Sunid tribe. .”

The more Teng Jisi thought about it, the more reasonable he became, and he turned around, "I'm going to call the soldiers now."

Dai Xiuyuan stopped him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Khan. This time Duoduo was ambushed suddenly, and the news won't get out for a while. We'll wait here for a few more days, and we'll get something."

Although Teng Jisi was puzzled, he still deployed in Wude according to what he said.After waiting for another three days, they saw a large group of chariots and horses escorting food, grass and baggage, which was exactly the food, grass and baggage sent by Horqin for Duoduo.

The Sunite people immediately swarmed out, captured hundreds of generals and thousands of civilians who were escorting the chariot, and seized all the chariots, horses, and supplies.

After counting the proceeds, Teng Jisi was overjoyed. The car carried enough food and grass for 3 horses and horses for a month, as well as a large number of weapons and winter clothes.

Dai Xiuyuan inadvertently saw a soldier take out a firecracker from this batch of weapons, he couldn't help being shocked, he hurriedly stepped forward to take it over for a closer look, and immediately frowned.He had seen the flintlock guns used by the Dragon Guards before, and the gun in front of him was [-]% similar to it!

He grabbed the officer who was in charge of capturing the list, looked at the gun in his hand, and asked, "How many guns are there?"

"Return to the military division, a total of seven hundred."

It was night, Dai Xiuyuan dismissed all the Mongolian guards and servants, leaving only a few accompanying Dragon Guard soldiers outside to guard.

Previously, he followed Teng Jisi on the Horqin Grassland and had no chance of contacting Fujing. This time, he just took the opportunity of Sunite's troops going south to write a secret letter about the Qing army's flintlock and the recent situation outside the Great Wall. His Royal Highness the Coordinator.

Besides, Doduo ran wildly with his entourage all the way, but managed to get rid of the pursuers, but unexpectedly, Dai Xiuyuan had someone notify the tribes in Mobei, saying that a big man from Jianzhou might pass by, and anyone who captured him would be rewarded with a thousand taels.

Although most of the strong and strong tribes of Khalkha were conscripted to participate in the battle of Ud, the elderly, women and even children in the tribe can also ride and shoot, and gathering together is more than enough to deal with three hundred remnants.

Doduo suffered a lot along the way, and when he ran to the vicinity of Horqin in a daze, there were only a dozen people left beside him.

……

Gaha looked at the heart of the Qiantang River boredly, poured a glass of wine into his stomach, and then glared at the green battalion soldier who was fanning next to him, "Haven't you eaten yet? Use more force!"

"Yes, yes." The two hurriedly increased their strength.

"What kind of fucking commander of the Navy?" Gaha couldn't help but think of the message sent by Suo Hong's people last night. More than [-] troops had left Nanjing and went straight to Zhejiang. But here you are drinking stuffy wine!"

He swallowed another cup, "Fucking sailor, I never had half a ship in the Qing Dynasty. Is it the same as taking down the Central Plains of the Han people? Just let the Han people who surrendered come to transport some people across the river... ..."

While he was complaining, a rogue-headed bannerman entered the cabin and smiled flatteringly at him, "Master, there is another good guy."

"Oh?" Gaha's eyes became brighter now, and he hurriedly said, "Where is it?"

Although this naval commander is boring, but fortunately there are many prostitutes in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, he will have people rob the boats in various tributaries of Qiantang every now and then, and when he encounters a beautiful woman, he will send them to him for his entertainment.This has become his only pastime.

The deer-headed rat-eyed man waved his hand behind him, and immediately two young women were brought in.Gaha then laughed loudly, "Okay! Sure enough, it's a good guy!"

The two prostitutes already knew his identity, and immediately got tired of him, "My lord, I will accompany you for a drink..."

Not long after, Gaha was happy and breathless in the boat.

"Master Commander," a man dressed as a green battalion officer didn't seem to have heard the movement in the cabin, he ran to the door and put his knees on the ground, and said loudly, "My lord, the sentry boat at Jiangkou just reported that there is a team The warship has passed Zhoushan and is heading here quickly."

Gaha was disturbed, and said angrily: "You bastard! It's just a remnant of the Zhejiang Army, so you're here to report?!"

"Hui, Mr. Hui, it doesn't seem to be the Zhejiang army," the person outside the cabin hurriedly said: "The flag is the sun and the moon on a blue background, most of them are Fujian soldiers. There are nearly fifty warships in total, including five or six large ships."

Hearing that there was indeed a police report, Gaha had no sense of "respect". He turned around and told the two women a few words, put on his clothes and came out, frowning: "It's only fifty boats, just destroy them."

The officer said cautiously: "Then... please give the order, sir."

Gaha was taken aback when he heard the words. He rode a horse and wielded a sword since he was a child, and he had only been on ships that surrendered to the Ming army a few times last year, so he knew almost nothing about water warfare.

He waved his hand again and said, "Go and ask Su Li and the others to come over."

"Yes."

This Su Li was originally an officer under Zheng Zhilong, and this time Gaha happened to meet this man when he was transferred to the head of the Qiantang Navy. Seeing that he was quite good at boats, he brought him to the Zhejiang Commission to command the town.
