Chapter 753

Tongzhou, an important town since ancient times, because of the name of the river and prosperous, since the opening of the Grand Canal in the Yuan Dynasty, so that Tongzhou has become the main road of transportation in the east of the world, the worship of all countries, the tribute of the four directions, the business travel, the water and land into Beijing must pass through here, the car on weekdays, Ma Xiaoxiao, the canal horn rings in the sky, a piece of prosperity, Gyeonggi County is not comparable.

However, since the news of the Tatar entry came half a month ago, Tongzhou is also as desolate as other states and counties, most of the people have taken refuge and walked far away when they hear the wind, and the water and land wharves have been suspended, and the noisy and crowded wharves in the past are not populated at this time.

A few miles southeast of Tongzhou City, close to the Grand Canal, there is a town called Zhangjiawan, this town is different from other villages and towns, but it is a small city, there is a city wall, the city gate is actually the logistics transit station of later generations, there is a village near the town that is particularly lifeful, called Huangmuchang Village.

Why is it famous, because even Dorgon has heard of it.

On the banks of the Grand Canal, more than ten people walked on the bank, and there were hundreds of soldiers on horseback around them, while Dolgon and a group of generals under his command watched the rolling river and pointed out the rivers and mountains.

"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that there is a Beijing city after the existing Huangmu Factory, when the Ming Emperor Zhu Di harvested precious wood and stone from the inland provinces and transported it to the wharf here through the canal, and it became a village for a long time, which is the Huangmu Factory Village" Dolgon raised his hand and pointed to the village with thick smoke billowing in the distance, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer.

The generals under his command nodded, with different expressions, and Azig said: "You can't burn the capital of Emperor Ming, and it's fun to burn his imperial wood factory."

"This Imperial Wood Factory is not the only place here," Shang Kexi opened his mouth and said, and Dolgon sighed, "Could it be that there is another place?" ”

Shang Kexi nodded: "There is also a lumber mill outside the gate of Guangqu in the southeast of the capital, which is also called Shenmu Field, but a few days ago, we have used all its materials to build siege equipment, and the rest have been burned to a fine light" said and pointed to the Imperial Wood Factory Village: "Like this."

All the generals laughed, and Duoduo, who walked more than ten steps along the river, asked: "Fourteenth brother, Tongzhou is broken, where to go now, wave troops to the east or south?" ”

Dolgon raised his eyebrows: "The richest person in Gyeonggi has no right out of Tongzhou, but it is far less than what we need, and it is imperative to go east and south, but the siege of the city the day before yesterday is unfavorable, and the army's morale is frustrated.

As he spoke, he looked back at the generals: "As for going east or south, do you have any suggestions."

The generals have spoken, in fact, eight or nine words to the south, to the east one is barren and the other is geographically located in the north of the Ming army Ji Town and Shanhaiguan defense line, the east is adjacent to the vast ocean is easy to be outflanked and attacked, so why not go south to Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong these fat areas, and familiar with the road.

Dolgon stroked his palms and laughed: "The princes and I are agreeable" Then he ordered the soldiers and horses to rest in Tongzhou City for two days, plundered the surrounding area of fifty miles, and waved his army south the day after tomorrow.

In the distance, several horses galloped as they came galloping, and Dorgon glanced up, "May it be good news."

Tanma approached: "Report to the prince, the Ming army sent tens of thousands of troops to the east to ......"

Well, Dolgon was stunned, and everyone looked stunned, obviously this news was too unexpected.

The Ming army sent tens of thousands of troops to follow, what do you want to do?

Do you want to fight the Qing army in the field? Who gave them courage and self-confidence! Dorgon laughed, tears of laughter coming out, this was sent to put out his own fire, and it was good news.

You must know that the day before yesterday he attacked the city unfavorable losses heavily, his heart has always been on fire, last night led the army to approach Tongzhou City, easily broke the city, wanted to slaughter the city to vent hatred, and finally reason defeated anger, the people in Tongzhou City had heard the wind and fled a lot, there was very little left, the people he had captured before were almost destroyed when the artillery fire was almost exhausted when attacking the capital, at this time if you kill a clean I am afraid that even the cart is gone.

There is nowhere to vent his anger, and it is easy to explode, Dolgon can only burn some villages outside the city to vent his hatred, but the symptoms are not cured, and he still suppresses a fire in his heart.

General Geng Zhongming stroked his beard and said: "Lord, this matter should be cautious, the Ming army has always spared his life, not to mention that in previous years, I heard that our male soldiers avoided hundreds of thousands of miles, even if the Ming army had a slight upper hand in the past few months, they did not dare to fight so easily with us and other field battles, a few days ago, we besieged the city and only a few sneak attacks, but we had no courage to let go of a fight in formation, and now we have just left on the front foot, he chased after him, I am afraid that there is a deception!" ”

Most of the generals nodded, and Dolgon frowned and looked at Duoduo: "What do you think, Old Fifteen?" ”

"Just look at it, just do it!" Before Duoduo could speak, Azig next to him roared: "This Gyeonggi is surrounded by a flat river, and the dog can't get off the stumbling block if he wants to, and the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty will not be scared of him if he fights ten of them, what do you want to be cautious, go up and do it, if you are afraid, I will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill him!" ”

Although Azig is rude and brainless, but his words are not rough, Dolgon and the others thought again, it is indeed as he said, this horse Pingchuan has no mountains and no mountains and no mountains under the command of the cavalry can give full play to the advantages, and cutting the Ming army is no different from mowing grass.

But...... The Ming army naturally knew this truth, why did they still come to die?

Unless there is a deception, but what deceit can he have? Dolgon's heads couldn't figure it out.

Then there is only one possibility.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Daming had a hot head, he felt that letting the Qing army rob at home with such a swagger would damage the national prestige, so he ordered troops to be killed. As in previous years, these generals with troops behaved, and after leading the troops out of the city, they ran away and went cool.

Either there is the kind of courtier clown who is grandiose, shouting for loyalty to the country or on behalf of the emperor, recommending himself to lead the troops to kill the enemy, and then he will hug his head and run away, and go back to say how awesome he is, how he kills the enemy and fights hard, and finally he is outnumbered...... It's just to make a name for yourself, but it's actually the same as the hype of Internet celebrities in later generations.

Daming has never lacked these jumping clowns, so what kind of strange things are not strange, so that Dolgon and others really can't find a reason for the Ming army to chase after them, they can only think about it, and it is the only thing that makes sense, after all, the disparity in the combat power of the cavalry of the Ming and Qing dynasties is well known on both sides, if there is a geographical advantage to engage in some tricks, Dolgon still has some scruples, and now at a glance to Pingchuan, more than ten miles away, what tricks can you play, and I fight in the field, there is only one end, miserable!

If this is the case, what is there to fear, as Azig said, just do it.

Dolgon, you decided, no matter what this Ming army came from, he would have a bloody battle, even if these Ming troops really went out of the city to show Emperor Ming, since you don't lose a piece of meat when you go out of the city, don't think about going back so easily, the Ming army takes the initiative to send it to the mouth, if it is far away, he will also take the initiative to pursue, and keep chasing and cutting.

After some agreement, Dolgon ordered to prepare for war, and the generals enthusiastically asked for battle, among which two brothers, Azig and Duoduo, had the strongest fighting spirit, because the two were the most angry, one sniped and overturned in the ditch of Tang Tong, and the other was equal to Huang Degong because of the heavy rain, and the hatred in his heart was monstrous.

Dolgon no longer hesitated, and ordered Duoduo and Azig to lead their troops to meet them, sharpening their knives on the banks of the Wenyu River a few miles northwest of Tongzhou, waiting for the cattle and sheep to be delivered to their doors.
