Chapter 249: The Manchu Kings Secret Meeting
After Wu Niu sent a message to the city, first the families of the generals slipped into the mountains and forests, and then 10,000 Nanzheng soldiers also slipped away one after another. Familiar with the terrain, they always have secret passages to avoid the surveillance of the Qing soldiers.
"General, the Nan Zheng soldiers have all run away! Even the family of the general soldier is gone! "The generals in the city are panicked, the locals can escape, but they don't dare!
"What? Damn noon cows! Geng Jingzhong immediately realized that whatever response to the Mongols was fake! No wonder the Mongols wanted a decisive battle with the Great Western Army!
The main camp of the Seventh Army of the Han Dynasty.
"Military seat, what should I do with the 20,000 Nan Zheng Qing soldiers please surrender."
Lin Jiading was surprised that these Li Chuangqing soldiers were so timid. "Let them lay down their weapons and camp near the left, or let them get away."
Although Nan Zhengbing is not a target to kill, he does not have a good impression of these traitors who are born as thieves.
After the order was delivered, Wu Niu was also confused. There is no difficulty in imagining, and there is no enthusiastic acceptance!
"Chief soldier, this Han army doesn't even have a main general, and he doesn't even take us seriously!"
"That's it, the chief soldier, let's go up the mountain and fall into the grass!"
Wu Niu smiled bitterly and said, "Look, those five thousand iron horsemen, as long as we stay away from here, they must be happy to hunt us down!" ”
"This!" The generals immediately smiled bitterly!
"Hey! Lay down your weapons and set up camp! At least save your life! "Wu Niu no longer wants to be a rogue, and now he can only choose to surrender! After more than ten years of fighting, he has also had enough of the days of displacement! He finally had new children, and he didn't want to lose them again!
Seeing that the Qing soldiers of Nanzheng surrendered honestly, the 5,000 cavalry also collected their troops and returned to the camp.
A day later.
"General, according to the escaped Mongols, most of the Mongol cavalry has been killed! The rest are also running in all directions! "The more the lieutenant talks, the colder it gets, this time they're really going to be finished!
Geng Jingzhong frowned: "What is the movement of Li Dingguo's ministry?" ”
"Most of the men and horses of the Great Western Army have gone to the north, and I am afraid that the guards of the mountain pass will also scatter and escape!" The lieutenant sighed softly! The Jurchens are scarce, and there are not many Jurchens in the entire Hanzhong! Otherwise, with the deterrence of the Jurchens, these Qing soldiers guarding the pass would not have collapsed in a battle!
Geng Jingzhong's face changed several times, and an old face full of wind and frost was even more sad.
"Heighten your guard!"
"Honorable General!" The generals also knew that they wouldn't last long! Unless Jiangnan won a big victory, the Manchus would not be able to support Hanzhong in a short time.
After the slaughter of the Mongols, the 40,000 Western troops also suffered tens of thousands of casualties. After resting, Li Dingguo also led his army north.
Sure enough, the resistance at the large and small passes along the way was weak, and the Qing soldiers everywhere did not have a trace of fighting will! Not to mention the defeat of Chengdu, the nearly 100,000 troops of Nanzheng still let people hit the checkpoint! They don't die stupidly!
There were less than 10,000 guards everywhere, and naturally they had no intention of resisting.
After Li Dingguo occupied the mountain passes of Qinchuan, he also immediately strengthened the fortifications and prepared to deal with the counterattack of the Guanzhong army.
Nanzheng was still digging trenches under the city to cover it, and as soon as it was dark, he began to dig two small secret passages. The secret passage is only enough for the two of them to go back and forth, but in order to prevent the Qing soldiers from discovering the damage, they can only dig slowly.
The Battle of Changsha and the situation in Jiangnan were finally transmitted back to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Prince Ying even personally returned to the north to ask for guilt, and when he entered the Beijing Division, it happened that the urgent report from Jiangsu and Zhejiang was also delivered.
Qianqing Palace.
More than a dozen Manchu nobles have already arrived, and they are all banner masters of the older generation or the heads of various tribes!
"Ah Zige, why can't the 600,000 army even hold small Changsha?" Dolgon shouted angrily that the Jurchens had not lost much in this battle, but they had lost most of the elite of the Green Battalion! Without these traitor soldiers, in the future, they can only rely on the Jurchens to face the hard steel.
"Death, please the Great Khan!" The tired Azige was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was also very aggrieved in the face of everyone's angry eyes!
"You!" Dolgon was furious, he didn't mean to blame his brother, but the defeat of Jiangnan caused the Manchus to suffer heavy losses!
"The Great Khan is angry, Ah Zige can bring back most of the Manmeng Iron Cavalry, and it is also worth the merits!" As the second son of Nurhachi, Dai Shan can be described as a good man in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He always does not fight for the throne, and Huang Taiji Dolgon is his auxiliary superior.
"Hmph, Ah, Zig, get out of here." Dolgon yelled, and Azig's appearance like a lost dog made him very angry. The invincible Manchurian royal family trembled at the mention of the Han army!
Ahzig was not grateful, and immediately stood up and left! No one knows better than him the strength of the Han army, and this is still when the Han pro-army has not been dispatched.
"Great Khan, it seems that there is no need to send more troops to Hanzhong!" Nurhachi's ninth son: Babutai immediately proposed.
Dolgon nodded: "I'm afraid to send troops, it's not in a hurry!" ”
"Well, now we have to discuss it! The Han army is no longer something that we can deal with! I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things by relying on the traitor green camp alone! Big Brother Dai Shan immediately spoke, he didn't expect that in the last few years of his death, the Manchu Qing would encounter such a great enemy!
Dolgon also immediately spoke: "I'm afraid that Jiangnan will soon belong to the Han army, and the Han army will definitely expand to more than two million by then!" The number of people alone has exceeded the limit of the Qing Dynasty! Losing the important land in the south of the Yangtze River, the situation in the north and south of the Yangtze River is also declining! Kings have a plan! ”
"Great Khan, if we don't withdraw to Guanwai, this great tomorrow will be Han after all!" The old patriarch couldn't help but say, and several patriarchs were also very moved.
Dol rolled and sneered, these rat-eyed wastes are really useless the older they get!
Dai Shan sighed and shook his head: "Let's not talk about how it is outside the gate!" Even if we withdraw to Guanwai, will the Han King let us Jurchens go? Losing one million green battalion soldiers, even the Mongols will abandon their oath, relying on the remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses of our clan alone, I am afraid that as long as the Han army and two firearms armies can wash the entire Liaodong in blood! ”
"Patriarchs, we have no way to retreat, either the Han army is defeated or we die! At least it is necessary to divide the Ming Dynasty together, and the Han army will never be allowed to go north to the Central Plains! "Babutai knows that their Manchu Qing has reached the most critical juncture, and if it is before entering the customs, they can still return to Liaodong! But now that half of the clan soldiers have been lost, they are no longer able to retreat to Liaodong!
The patriarchs were not stupid, and immediately came to their senses.
"That's right, I can't retreat in the Qing Dynasty, I must defend the river!" Seeing that everyone came to their senses, Dorgon was satisfied!
Defend the river! Dai Shan couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that our sailor can't fight against the Han army, without the blockage of the sailor, the Han army can easily enter the Hanshui Huai River!" Even Xiangyang Chongcheng can't withstand the long-term bombardment of hundreds of cannons! ”
Dolgon nodded faintly, he didn't know! But the Han army sailors, they really can't resist!
"If you can't keep it, you can't lose it! If you lose Jiangbei and Huainan again, the military salary of the Qing Dynasty will be even more unsustainable! Babutai immediately retorted!
Dai Shan was not angry, and calmly looked at the irritable ninth brother!
Ay! Dolgon frowned, but it's a pity that Hong Chengchou is already a great strategist, otherwise someone can still give him advice!
"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to stop the Han army, you can only persuade the Mongol princes that as long as they send another 500,000 Mongolian cavalry, it will be enough to deal with the heavy cavalry of the Han army! The rest of the green battalion held the city, and the Mongol cavalry hunted around, and the Han army's grain route was cut off, and no matter how strong they were, they could only retreat! "Dolgon finally had to make up his mind that the Mongols would be on an equal footing with the Jurchens!
"This!" Dai Shan smiled bitterly! But so far, that's the only way!
Babutai was not optimistic, and immediately shook his head: "But the Mongols have already killed hundreds of thousands, so it's good if they don't draw troops, how can they still send troops." ”
Dolgon couldn't say it, so he looked at Daizen.
Dai Shan, the good old man, immediately nodded and said: "Give up the ownership of the Northwest and Western Regions, and even the Southwest Plateau will be divided into Mongolian princes. In this way, they must be willing to send 500,000 cavalry south. ”
"This!" Babutai was stunned, he didn't know what to say!
"However, in the future, I am afraid that this Mongolian will return to the climate of Dayuan! Then it's a big rival again! The old patriarch immediately shook his head and sighed! It's a pity that there are too few Jurchens, otherwise they can completely conquer the grassland, and then two million iron horsemen will go south, and no matter how strong the Han army is, they will not dare to go north.
Dolgon nodded: "The Mongols are strong and strong, but it is difficult for them to recover from the scattered sand, and when the situation in the world is stabilized, the Han and Mongols will have to submit to the Qing Dynasty." ”
Dolgon no longer expects to destroy the Han army, but as long as the Qing Dynasty can survive Chen Xiong's death, the world will still be Qing in a few decades. He is clear about the bad roots and virtues of the Han people, and the Han people after the glory will be extremely arrogant and complacent, and the internal will slowly collapse in the meantime.
