Chapter 135: Huang Taiji's careful thinking

The three Dolgon brothers were born to the same mother, and they were very united, and the two white flags they ruled had become the two most powerful banners in the Manchurian Banners, with a total of ninety-eight oxen (all the data here is recorded a few years later, and there should not be so many now). )

Although Huang Taiji controls the two yellow flags, plus the positive blue flag of the eldest son Haoge, there are only one hundred and seventeen Niu Lu in total, and the gap between the two sides is not big, which makes Huang Taiji feel very unsafe.

Therefore, Huang Taiji decided to slowly weaken their strength, but the three brothers were very alert, not as domineering as Amin and Mang Gultai, and they didn't give him a chance to attack at all, so Huang Taiji could only think of some crooked ideas from other aspects.

This time, it stands to reason that it is not Azig's turn to be the coach at all, whether it is Dolgon or Hauge, Zilharang and other princes, any one of them is better than that fool Azig.

Huang Taiji personally ordered Azig to be the coach, and let him lead most of the two white flags out of the customs, and handed over the blue flag of his eldest son Haoge to the always stable Abatai to go out of the customs together, and sent Yanguli with the yellow flag to follow Azig.

Huang Taiji just wanted to use the Ming army to consume the strength of the two white flags, Azig had a bad brain and was reckless, and he would definitely go on a rampage after entering the customs, and he might be beaten by the Ming army.

Huang Taiji's request to Abatai and Yanguli is not to attack when encountering a strong enemy, to preserve strength, and let Azig's two white flag men and horses charge, and you can follow them behind to lead the army.

As a result, things were just the opposite, Yanguli and Abatai successively encountered the strongest part of the Ming army, and the fight was a miserable one, but Azig didn't even see the face of the Yongwei battalion, and survived to the end, it was really providential.

Now that Haoge's Zhenglan Banner has been abolished, the strength of the two sides has changed a lot, and Huang Taiji can only use the matter of the expedition to target Azig, get rid of one and count one, and slowly clean up the other two people.

After dealing with Azig and Ashan, the court meeting continued, and Huang Taiji asked his ministers to discuss the current strength of the Ming army, and what made them fight so slippery this time.

Where did the ministers know, this time they didn't enter the customs and fought with the Ming army, and they stared there with big eyes for a while, not knowing how to speak, and Prince Dai Shan stood aside and squinted his eyes slightly, as if to say: What about me?

In the end, at the suggestion of Zilharang, Huang Taiji ordered Ah Shan to be recalled and carefully inquired about the battle, because except for Ah Shan, the other senior generals who had fought against the Ming army were all dead.

Dolgon snorted secretly, he had already seen that Huang Taiji was obviously protecting the Zhenglan Banner and wanted to protect Ah Shan!

Ah Shan ran back, he felt that the opportunity for amnesty was in front of him, so he worked very hard in the Chongzheng Hall to tell the whole battle of the attack, like a storyteller, he didn't care about anything, and he just moved his mouth.

Ah Shan was completely open-minded, and he finished talking about all the big and small battles, and he didn't even dare to hide the fact that he was ambushed in Hongshan and was annihilated by the Ming army.

The key point is naturally that Abatai led the army out of Pinggu to attack Xincheng, and the battles from Lengkou to the death of Lengkou were all experienced by Ahsan himself.

The Manchu and Han ministers of the Manchu Dynasty listened very carefully, and the losses of this time were much greater than the previous two times, so everyone also wanted to know what the reason was, so they could interject in front of the emperor and leave a good impression on the boss.

After Ahsan's spitting speech, both Dolroll and Duoduo's faces showed disdain, apparently thinking that Ahsan was deliberately exaggerating the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in order to hide his incompetence.

Huang Taiji's face showed a calm expression, and said, "Ah Shan, according to what you said, most of the people and horses lost in this Ming Dynasty are because of the prince of the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Ah Shan nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, it is exactly like this, although the prince of the Ming Kingdom is young, but the brave guard battalion led by him is extremely brave, and most of my Eight Banner warriors are lost in their hands." ”

Duoduo interjected on the side: "I heard that the crown prince of the state is still a child, Ah Shan, are you joking with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Ah Shan said dissatisfiedly: "Prince Yu, what the slave said is true, your white flag has also fought with it, if not, you can call the flag lieutenant soldiers to ask." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The slave heard that the men and horses with white flags had already been frightened by the brave guard battalion of the prince of the Ming Kingdom, and no one dared to fight. ”

Hearing this, Duoduo immediately screamed and said, "Dog minion! Full of nonsense! How can my warrior with a white flag be afraid of a barbarian? What a joke! ”

Dorgon laughed with Dordor and said, "A hairy kid will beat you like this, Ahsan, your jokes are really good!" ”

Hauge said beside him: "I heard that outside the Lengkou Pass, Prince Rui once met with the prince of Mingguo, and he didn't come back with a single arrow?" ”

Although Hauge is a generation later than Dolgon, he is three years older than Dolgon, and he has been unhappy with this fourteenth uncle who has been favored by Lao Khan since he was a child, and his blue flag was abolished this time, and his heart is even more angry.

Huang Taiji saw that the two of them were about to tear up again, and said coldly: "Shut up!" Keep listening! ”

Dorgon and Haug each snorted and shook their heads away from each other, while Dorgon stared at the back of Hauge's head with undisguised composure, eager to pick up a brick and slap it on the back of the big nephew's sleek head.

Seeing that Huang Taiji did not doubt what he said, Ah Shan was also very relieved, and continued: "Back to the emperor, it is not that the servants exaggerate, the army under the prince of the Ming Kingdom is not only strict in military discipline and forbidden, but also makes good use of artillery and firearms, the firearms they use are very powerful, not only have a very long range, but also have great power, they can penetrate two layers of armor within 100 steps, and they can penetrate three layers of iron armor within 80 steps. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and said: "The barbarian's fire gun is really powerful, but most of the people who use it are stupid, I also have fire guns in the Qing army, just put a few shots in front of the battle to deceive most of the Ming army, let them send out guns in a panic, and our cavalry will quickly break through its formation while it is loaded, and the Ming army's fire guns will be completely useless." ”

Ah Shan slapped his face and said: "Emperor Shengming, it's just that the soldiers in the barbarian Yongwei battalion are very skilled in using firearms, and the rate of fire is also extremely fast, far from being comparable to the border army of Liaozhen, and they order to prohibit it, and they never shoot in a panic......"

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, feeling that Ah Shan was exaggerating the truth, most of the three-eyed guns used in the nine sides of the Ming army only had the lethality of dozens of steps, and the accuracy was still very poor, even if it was a few thousand Lumi guns in Jinzhou City, it was far from being as strong as he said.

However, Huang Taiji has always been very cautious about the enemy, and he never underestimated the opponent easily, he looked at one of the Han Chen: "King Gongshun, you are familiar with firearms in the Southern Dynasty, what do you think?" ”
