Chapter 279: A Grand Plan: Brainwashing the Eight Bannermen
After the fiasco of Anzhou, Jilharang desperately fled, and after nearly two days of escape, he finally encountered the army of white flags from Cangzhou in Dacheng County, more than 100 miles away from Anzhou.
All the way, happy to meet reinforcements, Zilharang's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and the soldiers of the Qing army around him also prostrated one by one, and the war horses were foaming at the mouth.
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Ji'er Harang, who had always been as steady as a dog, the generals with white flags were dumbfounded, and only the flag owner, Prince Yu Duoduo, showed a look of disdain.
Duoduo was the fifteenth son of Nurhachi, born to the same father and mother as Dolgon and Azig, and he was named Heshuo Ezhen at the age of six, and participated in the political process, and at the age of thirteen, he was named Baylor, the owner of the white flag, and later changed to the owner of the white flag.
Duoduo went on many expeditions with Huang Taiji to attack Mongolia and the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, and was named Prince Yu at the age of twenty-two.
Duoduo is only twenty-four years old now, and he is only twenty-five years old after the New Year, although he is young, but he has been on the battlefield for a long time, whether it is attacking Chahar, or attacking Xuanfu, Dalinghe, Jinzhou and other Daming border towns, there is almost no defeat, and in the long run, it has also created his arrogant temperament.
At the beginning of the month, when Dolgon in Shandong heard that the Red Flag had been wiped out, and was thinking about how to deal with it, Duoduo stood up and asked to lead the troops to defeat the Ming army, take Baoding Mansion, and issued a military order.
Dolgon was busy attacking Jinan Mansion, and he was quite relieved of Duoduo, so he approved his request to fight.
Duoduo did not carry a large amount of grain and grass, only a few days of dry food and some simple marching tents, and the army with white flags marched very fast, and rushed from Shandong to Beizhili Hejian Mansion in a few days.
Along the way, Duoduo couldn't figure it out, the red flag camp was strong, there were 8,000 men and horses, and the food and grass were worry-free, even if it was besieged by tens of thousands of Ming troops, how could it hold out for more than half a month, how could it be broken in one day? was also killed, what is the situation with Yue Tuo's eldest nephew?
What Duoduo didn't expect was that Prince Zheng Zilharang was also defeated? It's so embarrassing.
Upon closer inspection, their opponent was also the Ming army who killed the red flag, and it seemed that the two nephews Shuoto and Bolo were also killed by them.
The more Duoduo listened, the more angry he became, and reprimanded Zierharang very harshly, and then gathered a large army, ready to personally lead the troops into battle, meet the Ming army, and take Baoding Mansion.
Although Zilharang was the same generation and level as Duoduo, he was reprimanded silently, and he gave all his troops except for the blue flag to Duoduo.
After losing the battle, there is a young grandfather, and no matter how thick-skinned Ren Jierharang is, he is embarrassed to argue with others.
In fact, in addition to the men and horses with the blue flag, the original 30,000 army did not have many people, and more than 10,000 people were killed by the Tianwu army.
At this time, Duoduo and Zilharang had more than 20,000 troops, more than half of which were Manchurian soldiers of the Eight Banners, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong, especially Duoduo, who was very confident!

After dealing with the governor of Baoding, Zhu Cihong began to distribute grain and grass and dispose of prisoners.
Today's Anzhou City has been built with dense granaries, where the grain, grass and wealth plundered by the Qing army are piled up, and they are handled by the strength of an integrated brigade of the Tianwu Army.
If it weren't for the seizure of these grains and grass from the Qing army, the tens of thousands of people in the Tianwu Army really didn't know how to live.
Cao Yun was blocked, the disaster in Beizhili was very serious, and the soldiers were in chaos, and there was no grain stock in various places, and several important military towns would not easily take out grain if they had it, and they were all used by the army with good relations.
Zhu Cihong pursued the policy of giving priority to the Tianwu Army, and secondly distributed the Tianwu Army and the Xuanda Army according to their military merits.
Zhu then inspected the prisoner camp, where a large number of captured Qing troops were gathered, numbering in the thousands, including the Eight Banners Mongol soldiers, the Eight Banners Han Army, some Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers, and even Korean soldiers.
Since Korea was occupied by the Manchus two years ago, it was forced to become its vassal, and every time the Qing army went out, the North Korean soldiers would send troops to participate in the war and serve as cannon fodder, and the status of the Korean soldiers was not as good as that of the Eight Banners Han Army.
The Eight Banners Han Army won the battle and could still share some of the spoils, but the North Korean soldiers could only stare dryly, watching others divide food, money, and women, which belonged to real cannon fodder.
Xu Sheng looked at the captives in his eyes and sighed: "Why are there so many second Tartars, if only we could let the Tartars help us fight!" ”
Zhu Cihong was surprised: "Hey, your idea is good!" ”
Let the Eight Banners fight the Eight Banners and return the other way to the other, which is a good idea!
Zhu Cihong asked the generals behind him meaningfully: "Is there any ideological education in our army that is particularly powerful?" ”
Zhou Yuji said: "There is a regimental commander among the last generals, who commands the battle in general, but his mouth is particularly powerful, I heard that he will give speeches and cheer up his subordinates during drills every day, and he can even say before the battle, his subordinates are like fighting chicken blood every day, and the battle is very fierce." ”
Zhou Yuji said again: "In this battle of Anzhou, their regiment repelled the attack of thousands of Tartars on the flank with only more than a thousand people, and other generals relied on command, and he mainly relied on his mouth. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Sounds good, I found it for the palace to see!" ”
Not long after, the head of the group came, Zhu Cihong looked at it, and immediately frowned, this looks ....... It doesn't conform to the positive image of Tianwu Jun's majesty and justice at all, and he uses elegant words to describe his appearance - funny!
Zhu Cihong is very entangled, how can such a person who looks like a comedian after wearing makeup brainwash people? Isn't this a drama?
As soon as the head of the regiment spoke, Zhu Cihong immediately realized that his worries were unnecessary.
"The last general, the commander of the second regiment of the first brigade of the third division of the royal martial army, Zhou Xingyao see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
With this introduction, his whole temperament changed, and with a heroic and righteous face, Zhu Cihong suddenly felt that this person was not simple, and he might be an Oscar winner with a little golden man in the future.
Zhu Cihong casually asked him a few questions about how to brainwash his subordinates, and Zhou Xingyao answered them fluently, and casually shouted a few bloody slogans, the content of which was vulgar but not lacking a sense of justice.
Zhou Xingyao told Zhu Cihong that as long as it is an individual, he has ** and pursuits, and most of the people in the Tianwu Army are full of food and drink, make contributions with the crown prince, seal his wife and son, and glorify his ancestors, and he grasped this point and carried out practical propaganda with his eloquence.
Zhu Cihong nodded and agreed, if blindly propaganda dies for the country, it may work, but the actual effect will not be as good as what Zhou Xingyao said, patriotic education, at least on the basis of eating and drinking.
Zhu Cihong said: "Zhou Xingyao, is there a way to brainwash these Tartars and let them fight for my Daming?" ”
Zhou Xingyao slapped his chest and said: "As long as it is a person, there is **, money, land, women, there is always a soul that can hook the Tartar, as long as the Tartar is still a person, then there is no problem!" ”
Zhu Cihong thinks about it, how many people have read books in the Tartars? How many people can be knowledgeable and understand national integrity? Let this group of captives return to Liaodong and distribute the Fujin and Gege in the Manchu clan to them, there should be many people who will be moved!
What's more, will those who are knowledgeable and reasonable be die-hard? There are more cultural people who are traitors.
Zhu Cihong said: "These captives have been handed over to you, if you want to fight or kill, as long as you can brainwash these Tartars and fight for the Ming Dynasty, this palace will promote you to the brigade commander!" ”
Zhou Xingyao was overjoyed, feeling that this was not only an opportunity for himself, but also a challenge, a very exciting kind!
At this time, Li Hu of Jinyi Wei Qianhu came to report: "Your Highness, news from the Beijing Division, Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, went south with the holy decree, the purpose of this trip is Anzhou, listening to the news from the palace, Your Majesty wants you to return to the palace." ”
Zhu Cihong sneered: "Back to the palace? Don't you want this country? ”
