Chapter Seventy-Two: Preparing to Fight the Tartars

Wuying Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing

Wuying Hall was built in the early Ming Dynasty and is located in the west of the Outer Dynasty Xihe Gate. There is Hengshou Zhai in the northeast of the courtyard, and Yude Hall in the northwest. The Wuying Hall corresponds to the Wenhua Hall located in the east of the outer dynasty, that is, one Wen and one Wu. At this time, the three major halls of the Forbidden City, Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, and Baohe Palace, were burned down, and the office could only be in the Wuying Palace.

In the Wuying Palace, Dolgon's sharp eyes stared at a man in front of him, with a burly physique, a heroic face, and a big man in bright silver armor, who didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, the back of the man was soaked, Dolgon is now the leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if it is the little emperor of Fulin, it is just his plaything, if there is no Liu Xia in the whole world, it is estimated that it will be his.

This man is naturally unnatural in front of Dolgon, and he feels weak when he is stared at by Dolgon, after all, he has only fought a defeat before, and if Dolgon is looking for trouble for himself this time, it will definitely be difficult for him to live. After all, I am a Han person! In the eyes of these Manchus, there was no difference between them, Han Chinese, and slaves.

Dolgon said sharply: "Kong Youde! ”

It turned out that this man was the Gongshun King Kong Youde (Kong Youde was named the King of Gongshun in the first year of Chongde in 1636, and was named the King of Dingnan in the 6th year of Shunzhi and 49, and now it is 16, 46 years Kong Youde is still the King of Gongshun).

Kong Youde hurriedly said: "The slave is here"

Dorgon added, "Do you know anything about Guidehouse?" ”

Kong Youde wiped the sweat on his face, and said respectfully: "The slave knows, it's the thief again, the last defeat was careless that gave them a chance, this time they know the root cause and will definitely not be defeated again, the prince only needs to give the slave 5,000 people, and the slave will definitely wipe out the thief." ”

Dolgon stared at Kong Youde deadly, and said for a moment: "This king will give you 8,000 soldiers and horses this time, and at the same time let Baiyitu follow you as a deputy general, Liu Xia's forces must be eradicated, if he is willing to surrender, it will be better, be sure to capture him alive and order the world to kill him in front of the people of the world, so that the rebel dogs in the world can see the consequences of not surrendering." ”

Kong Youde didn't want to be with Dolgon at all, it was too depressing, it made him feel that his life was not in his control at all, and in front of Dolgon, he felt like an ant, who could be pinched to death by Dolgon at any time.

"Please rest assured, the servants will definitely kill Liu Xiayi and others in one go, and live up to the trust of the prince."

Dolgon nodded and said: "Well, after you pacify Liu Xia, send someone to send Liu Xia and others to Beijing, you don't have to come back, and directly advance to the south to wipe out the resistance forces and poles in Henan, and firmly control the counties in Henan." ”

Kong Youde said expressionlessly: "The slave obeys."

Kong Youde is also a brave and warlike general, when he was under Mao Wenlong, he made many military exploits, but Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan for no reason, and his Kong Youde rebelled and surrendered to the Tartars and became the obedient king of the Tartars. Titar has laid a lot of territory, but as a Han man, he has never been very high in the heart of the Tartar. When he arrived in Kangxi, he was exterminated again, and finally Li Dingguo burned his bones and ashes, and died without a whole body, and the end could be described as miserable.

……

The Manchu court mobilized soldiers and generals, and did not hide it from the world, as if it was deliberately propaganda, telling the world that the Qing army was going to retaliate, Liu Xia, a yellow-haired child, was about to be finished, and the hero in your heart, the anti-Qing celebrity, was about to turn into dust.

Fighting Han with Han, Kong Youde is Han, Liu Xia is also Han, let the Han people fight the Han people behind the Manchurian people proudly watching them both lose, Tatar thought in his heart that it would be good if the Han people were greatly injured, so that they could better govern.

As for the news of the Tartars' troops, the scouts in Beijing have rushed to Guide Mansion at the speed of 800 miles, and now the Tartars still need a few days to rectify and set off, leaving Liu Xia with a lot of time.

By the next day, the scout, who didn't know how many horses had been killed, ran in front of Liu Xia, his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was covered in dust.

"The general Tartar is sending troops to Guide Mansion and dare to come."

Liu Xia was not much surprised when he heard that there were already many battalion commanders, because they all knew that the Tartars would definitely send troops, but they didn't know how many troops the Tartars would send out, and they didn't know who the people who sent the troops this time were.

Liu Xia asked, "How many troops will be sent this time?" Who is the one who led the army? ”

The scout hurriedly said: "General Hui, the Tartars sent 8,000 troops this time, but they are basically green battalions composed of Han Chinese who surrendered. Most of these people are former Ming troops, and their combat effectiveness is okay. Leading this army were the surrendered Han Kong Youde, as well as the Tatar Baiyitu. ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, Kong Youde! Although Kong Youde did not recover the defeat last time he was in Yangzhou City, it does not mean that Kong Youde is incapable. On the contrary, Kong Youde's military talent is very powerful, and when he first conquered Korea, Jinzhou, and Songshan, he was commanded by Kong Youde, although he could not become a victorious general and won all battles, but he could not be underestimated.

"How many people are coming from the Tartars?"

"The Tartars did not come much, less than a thousand, all led by Abatai. Baiyitu is the deputy general of the army this time, but Abatai is full after all, and Kong Youde sometimes has to listen to Abatai. ”

Liu Xia nodded and said, "You go down to rest first, this time you have made a meritorious contribution, naturally someone will write it down for you, go down." ”

The scout's face was overjoyed, and he bowed to Liu Xia and hurried down.

Liu Dazhuang, the battalion commander of the Tiger Battalion, was wearing a new-style military uniform, with a golden star on the epaulette on his shoulders and two yellow stripes, looking very handsome. ”

The other generals also stared straight at Liu Xia.

Liu Xia frowned, at this time Liu Xia was also a little difficult, although he had long known that there must be Tartars to attack, but he didn't think of how to fight, the Tartars sent 8,000 men and horses this time, which was naturally much more than the Shangping Northern Army.

There are 3,000 recruits in the Pingbei Army, but these recruits are not available now, so there are only more than 2,000 people who can be used, and more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 8,000 Tartars? Can you win big? This time the Tartar will not be attacked by Liu Xia like the last time, this time he must be prepared, and it is a little difficult to win by surprise.

Kong Youde can be said to have fought hundreds of wars, and it is a little difficult to brush tricks in front of Kong Youde.

Now there are only two ways to go, one is to leave Guide Mansion immediately and move to other places, but Kong Youde's army is aimed at Liu Xia, where Liu Xia runs, this army will definitely chase after him, and it is not good to run.

The other is to defeat Kong Youde, and completely defeat it, which not only makes the Qing court unable to control Henan so strictly, but also makes the anti-Qing people in the world passionate.
