Chapter 294: Spring Breeze Triumphant Azig
Zhou Yi rode a war horse unhurriedly, although there were only thirty or forty people under him, but they had a lot of horses. There is still a surplus of horses in people's hands, doesn't it sound like hundreds of horses?
These surplus war horses are the greatest reliance on their ability to continuously pursue the Qing army along the way.
Whether it is the war horses captured from Jinan or the mounts they have themselves, Zheng Zhilong is now rich.
And what about the Tartars?
They may still be able to take the auxiliary horse with them at first, but in a mess, how can the auxiliary horse be around? The horses that only sat down were beaten desperately, and they were exhausted after running for so long.
If you can't run sooner or later, it should be Zhou Yi who will come to harvest calmly.
Wang Aoyong and his entourage desperately beat the war horse, but they opened up the distance from the pursuers again. But just as their minds were relaxed again, suddenly one of them fell to the ground with a bang, and the man on the horse broke his neck on the spot.
"Woo, Woo ......"
Qizilema, everyone was taken aback.
One of the Eight Banners jumped off his horse and took a torch from someone else. It's a torch, but it's actually just a pine branch wrapped around a few circles of cloth.
There was no pit on the ground, no arrows were struck by the horse, and the horse died of exhaustion. Man, on the other hand, is simply killed by falling.
Wang Aoyong was startled when he heard that the war horse was exhausted, and hurriedly said: "The war horse is exhausted, how can I wait for the war horse?" Rest and rest, and don't hurt the horse again. ”
The group of people who had palpitations listened immediately and got off the horse one after another.
This is what they rely on to flee for their lives, and no one wants to let the horses die now.
Wang Aoyong was helped to sit on the ground with difficulty, panting, and didn't see Niu Lu Zhangjing on the side, his eyes were already tinged with a different color.
People don't die for themselves, not to mention that it's just a group of Han people.
"Do it!"
The knife burst out, and the adjutant general of the Chinese army sat on the ground and stretched his waist, just to see the cold light flashing in front of his eyes, and the vigorous blood extinguished the torches next to him.
More than twenty Eight Banner soldiers against thirty or fifty Green Banner soldiers, even if each other's combat strength is intact, they can be crushed directly. Not to mention that the latter have become soft-footed shrimp one by one, and the former is too late to breathe when anyone is chased, but they can hold on in the end.
The Tartars have only been in the customs for less than two years, and the muscles and bones that have been boiled out in the ice and snow outside the customs have not yet decayed.
Wang Aoyong was stunned by this scene, "You, you ......"
"Lord Wang, let's go." Niu Lu Zhangjing said to Wang Aoyong, who was stunned.
He will kill others, but Wang Aoyong's identity is not ordinary, it is the most top-notch wave of Han vassals after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and Niu Lu Zhangjing did not dare to kill him without permission. Not to mention that there are enough horses.
Zhou Yi quickly arrived here, and he was not surprised by these corpses. In the rout of the Qing army, there were not too many people who killed each other.
"Chief, these corpses are all green flags, and it seems that there are no big fish along the way."
A night does not close, shouting loudly. In their eyes, only the true tartar is the big fish. As for the Green Flag soldiers, even if they catch Liu Zeqing, it is not as good as catching a Jia Lazhangjing!
Zhou Yi didn't care, in such a chaotic defeated army, it was not uncommon for him not to have this luck.
"If you can catch one, chase after me-"
There must have been other defeated soldiers in front of Hengzhi, after the defeat of Haoge Daqing River, even the Eight Banners fled in all directions, and they dared to divide into small groups of dozens of people to pursue. "Bumping into one is one, and when you see Texas City, it's not too late to retreat." The crowd echoed in unison.
……
The Qing army in Jinan was defeated, and the Zheng army quickly attacked, with a thunderous speed in Qihe, Jiyang, Changqing and other counties.
The gentry of the counties fled one after another, and when Zheng Jun had already raised the butcher's knife, they still went first, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood. Those who abandon their families and businesses will naturally lose a lot of money, but no matter how big it is, it is not as important as a small life. After all, they all firmly believe that the Qing Dynasty will come back soon, and they all firmly believe that their land will still be their own land!
To the south of Jinan Mansion is Dongyue Taishan, and the Zhizhou of Tai'an Prefecture heard that Zheng Jun was coming, so he hurriedly packed up and fled to the mountains in the south. As a result, he was so emotional that he stepped on the mountain road and fell into the valley, where he died without a place to be buried.
But that's a good end. At least his family survived.
The officials in the Dongchang Mansion are called unlucky.
Some officials who have just taken office have made their own life choices in the face of 'major rights and wrongs,' which can be said to be the truest embodiment of people's moral integrity.
It is indispensable that some rats are reluctant to take the actual job they have just received, and choose to ignore the southern retreat of the Ming Dynasty.
But he never thought that after Zheng Zhilong took Jinan, he didn't stop at all, and in the current situation of the Qing Dynasty's prosperity and decline, he brazenly waved his army westward and sent a group of cavalry to rush into Dongchang Mansion, not caring about the Qing army that was about to be killed.
The Liaocheng magistrate, who chose to stay in the yamen and did not move, panicked, hurriedly got on his horse and fled, but his equestrian skills were not perfect, and he overturned before leaving the city gate. He was overturned into the moat by a horse, hit his head on the ice, and his head bumped into a porcelain solid, and he was already breathless when he was helped up.
When such a death method reached Zheng Zhilong's ears, it made him laugh.
The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty was defeated, the Manchu Dynasty made a comeback, and it was an idle matter to go down to southern Hebei and enter Qilu and the Central Plains. Zheng Zhilong accepted it when he didn't see it at this time, and quickly returned to Denglai, but he wanted to welcome the man, isn't this asking for his own hardship?
Those officials in Dongchang Mansion are relying on the general trend of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they will soon drink horses and go south, so they can consciously sit back and relax. Suddenly, when he heard the news of the Zheng army's cavalry, he was all frightened and peed his crotch.
There is no second person as unlucky as Liaocheng County, but few of them can take it off, and they were all taken away by Zheng Junti to Jinan to be slaughtered.
Subsequently, the Zheng army's cavalry, which had been expanded to 3,000 horsemen, brazenly left Dongchang and went north into Hejian Mansion.
It's a time difference.
There was a blank space there, the Ming had fled, and the banner of the Manchu Qing had been erected, but what about the soldiers and horses? Especially the soldiers and horses who can fight tough battles, there is no one.
The Qing army's horse army was being used in the pursuit of the Ming army, and the infantry armor was either guarding Yanjing or had returned to Xuanda. The Green Flag Soldiers do have them, but they don't work.
Now the Ming army is defeated. The Ming army in the Central Plains had more than 100,000 people, but after Hong Chengchou was defeated, Shi Dewei withdrew his troops, and Jin Shenghuan, Li Guoying, etc. also withdrew their troops.
In this way, the three prefectures in northern Henan were easily taken back by the Qing army, and the royal flag of Azig had been planted in Kaifeng. He doesn't care about Naoli.
Heluo's Duoduo army also took the opportunity to counterattack, crossed the Yellow River and returned to Luoyang, took Ruzhou, and now the troops are straight to Luoyang.
Azig in Kaifeng City now feels that his life has reached its peak.
Although his soldiers and horses did not even have many troops in the hands of Duoduo, because the war went too smoothly, Dolgon directly stopped the return of the Eight Banners Infantry of the Qing Army.
Therefore, Azig, who should have held the total military power of the Eight Banners in the Guannai, can now control the Eight Banners vest, which is less than 30,000. On the contrary, it was Duoduo, the nominal deputy, who held at least 40,000 Eight Banner Foot Riders in his hands.
Azig doesn't care about this.
It's not interesting to have more soldiers than soldiers, but it's more merit than to compare.
He is able to turn the tide, the special feat of 'King Qin's rescue', the great cause of 30,000 enemies, can compare Duoduo, who won the land of Jinnan but lost Heluo, to the mud.
Azig knew the gap between himself and Dolgon, and he was still happy to cling to Dolgon in the big picture.
Therefore, if he can overpower Duoduo, not just by one head, but by many heads, Azig will be satisfied.
Anyway, when Dorgon was alive, he said he didn't have any "ambitions".
And it was when Azig was at his most proud that he suddenly heard the news that Zheng Jun had sent people into Beizhili, not only was he not angry, but laughed.
Because he can't 'manage' Beizhili.
It was some of the Green Flag soldiers who followed him into the Central Plains, but in fact, they respected the orders of Zu Zerun, the governor of the Central Plains. Not to mention North Naoli. The current governor of Zhili, Sukh Saha, was a guard of Dolgon, and was once the white-flaged Baga Lajangjing. Now it's Sukh Saha who should be annoyed.
Azig just had to go south with his vest soldiers. Take advantage of the defeat of the Ming army to see if it can reach the Yangtze River.
At this time, the more ruthless the Nanban is beaten, the more ruthless it can be when he asks for the price of the Southern Dynasty later.
Azig doesn't care about Zheng Jun's entry into Beizhili, but Suke Saha can't care less.
He was a little reluctant to do this position!
Baya Lazhang Jing, that is, the head of the Baya Lama soldiers, is also a role in the Eight Banners, just like the official position when Ao Bai died. But such a position is really not commensurate with the Admiral.
After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is only three or four provinces now. As early as the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619), after Nurhachi conquered Kaiyuan, he surrendered to Nurhachi and was awarded the title of Jiala Ezhen, and was given the rank of third-class deputy general. That's a real old qualification. Zu Zerun, who took over, was the solid mountain Ezhen of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army. Qilu Admiral Zu Kefa is a figure who can truly represent the ancestral family. Compared with these two, even if he is full of military flags, he is a little unqualified.
But he can't resist the fact that he's Dorgon's henchman.
"Kill, kill all these dog minions!"
Under the city of River, Sukh Saha brandished his sword and urged his war horse to roar, constantly moving forward on a chaotic battlefield.
All around him, his standard battalion was struggling forward.
When Sukh Saha heard the news of Zheng's army going north, he was furious. It was a little reluctant to sit in the position of Admiral Zhili, and you Zheng Zhilong still came to provoke trouble, if he didn't fight back, then no matter how favored by the regent was, he couldn't keep the black veil on his head.
A large number of soldiers wearing cotton armor, or even no armor at all, were screaming.
They had more than 10,000 men, and the Zheng army that fought with them was less than 2,000 people, so they won this battle!
You know, now is the period of rising morale of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Azig simply swept away the Northern Expeditionary troops of the Ming army, causing the general trend of the world to be repeated, and the prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty were the most direct manifestation of the sudden increase in the morale of the Green Banner soldiers.
