Early the next morning, Dolgon's troops had returned to Hebei.

Riding on his horse, he glanced at the scene in front of him.

Countless people of Jinan Prefecture were tied by the Qing Dynasty, escorted by foot soldiers, and returned north on foot. On both sides of the road, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty followed and watched. Farther away, there were also cavalry troops of the Qing Dynasty galloping back and forth.

Suddenly, he saw that not far in front of him, a Ming citizen fell to the ground, and even the other people who were tied to him also fell.

Soon, there was a commotion over there, and a faint voice could be heard. Dolgon knew Chinese and could hear the situation over there.

"Mother, get up, get up, the military master is here."

"Master Jun, it's okay, my mother is just too hungry, give her a stutter, and she can leave immediately."

"Ah...... Master Jun...... Don't ......"

"Mother......

The crying suddenly stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement.

Dolgon saw all this, and he knew that it was his men who had slaughtered the woman who had fallen to the ground and her noisy son, and that he had seen the corpse thrown aside. But he didn't stop it.

If you really want to talk about it, the soldiers below do things, and he also asked them to do this. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty has strict military discipline, who dares to do anything that violates military law!

At this point, Dolgon's gaze looked into the distance for a moment, and then he turned his head to look behind him, his brow furrowed, obviously not very happy about the current situation.

The reason is that a few days ago, only one day after the defeat of Jinan Mansion, the Ming State Yongwei Battalion arrived, forcing him to order an early termination of the plunder. Although he set fire to Jinan City, he finally looted a lot of supplies.

In the beginning, in order to deal with the trailing Yongwei battalion and other Ming troops, Dolgon had to move his forces to the rear as much as possible, and after driving away the Yongwei battalion, he was careful to guard against it.

However, he didn't expect that after passing through the Texas Mansion, he encountered a small group of Ming troops and attacked the Qing team. They also did not fight head-on with the Qing army, but took advantage of the Qing army's inattention, first drove the people of the Ming Dynasty to cause chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to loot the materials looted by the Qing Dynasty.

These small groups of Ming troops, Dolgon has already found out, it is those Ming army generals who were originally under the command of Gao Qiqian, and they came to do this with their elite soldiers.

Thinking of this, Dolgon couldn't help but curse in his heart: When he was on the position before, he didn't see how hard these Ming generals were, but now that they have grabbed their property, they are really desperate enough, and they even ignore the Qing Dynasty to explore the horses, they are really a group of robbers who want money and don't want their lives!

After many incidents, Dolgon's side had no choice but to bring in troops from the rear to strengthen the defense at the front. Several times, Dolgon was hesitant to coerce so many Ming people to go back?

The population plundered from Jinan Mansion was more than 100,000 people, resulting in a very long queue to return north, plus all kinds of livestock and materials, and a long convoy, at least ten miles long, which greatly increased the difficulty of the Qing Dynasty to guard their return to the north.

This is already to let all kinds of vehicles take the official road, and those Ming people have walked in the fields on both sides of the official road, and walked in several rows before shortening this distance. Otherwise, the Qing army really wouldn't be able to watch the land.

Thinking of this, Dolgon turned his head to look around at the Qing warriors that could be seen around him. At a glance, it was clear that they were all a little tired. Thinking about it, I raided south to take Jinan Mansion before, and now I have returned to the north, and basically I haven't had a good rest.

The warriors of the Qing Dynasty are also people, not iron-clad, and if they don't get rest all the time, it will also have an impact on the combat strength of the army! It should be three days away from Yue Tuo and Du Du to meet them. After the rendezvous, you should be able to take a good rest, right?

When Dolgon thought so in his heart, he suddenly saw a team of fast horses galloping along the official road against the flow of people, which made his face extremely ugly.

In the past, those Ming generals attacked in the early morning or evening, when the guards were at their loosest. However, at this time, not only did he redeploy his troops, but it was already past the early morning, and he dared to run out, is it really your Ming army?

Thinking about this, Dorgon was a little angry.

As he was thinking, the cavalry had already arrived at his side, and as soon as the man at the head dismounted, he hurried over and knelt down and said, "Report, General! Anping Baylor has an urgent letter. ”

With that, he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

Dolgon was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be someone from Dudu's side. When he thought of the more than 200,000 animals over there, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart, and immediately opened it and looked at it.

In the letter, Du Du told him about the war on his side, and by the way, he also told Yue Tuo about the plan for reinforcements, and hurried here as fast as possible to report it, and asked Dolgon's side what to do next?

Dolgon was taken aback, he didn't expect that the Qin soldiers would be so powerful, according to Du Dudi's description, this Qin soldier's will to fight was very strong, and he could fight with the Qing Dynasty. And it is obvious that the commander of the army will be a person who can fight, and if he fails to attack Dudu's side, he will immediately turn to the surrounding point to send reinforcements.

Not only that, but they also had self-knowledge, knowing that with their strength alone, they couldn't eat Yue Tuo's troops in one bite, so they used a trick to separate the infantry cavalry of Yue Tuo's department, and then eat the weaker infantry army.

Although that infantry army is mostly composed of Han slaves, it can be regarded as a Qing army, how long has the Qing Dynasty not been completely annihilated by the enemy like this? If you go back this time, Yue Tuo will probably be punished by the emperor! In any case, a charge of negligence and carelessness in commanding troops will not run away.

Dolgon didn't pay much attention to this, it should be Dai Shan's brain-wrenching.

After reading the letter himself, he handed it to the guards beside him, and instructed him: "Show it to Hauge, and let him come to discuss it!" ”

Then he frowned and thought about it.

That Qin army, according to Du Du and Yue Tuo's estimates, also suffered a lot of casualties, and it is estimated that the current army that can fight is only more than 20,000. And on his own side, there are more than 10,000 people in the Yongwei Battalion. Judging from the current situation, these two armies, about 30,000 people, are worthy of the Qing Dynasty's worthy opponents.

Thinking of this, Dolgon breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, the Ming Kingdom only had 30,000 soldiers to fight, and the other armies couldn't fight tough battles, so they didn't have to care about it. It's just that I don't know how many more capable troops like Qin Bing will have, and when will they arrive?

With a little sum in his mind, Dorgon had an idea in his mind. The harvest of this entry has been enough, and it is time to get out of the customs!

"Come, pass on the king's military order!" Dolgon looked up at several generals around him, and commanded loudly, "Among the people of the Ming Dynasty, those who are older than thirty-five and younger than fifteen will all be expelled from the ranks, and those who are weak and have difficulty moving will also be expelled, and then speed up the march, and those who lag behind will be killed!" ”

"Your Highness, why do you want to expel it, just kill it!" One of the Tartar leaders asked, a little confused.

Dolgon listened, looked at him and explained: "The Ming Kingdom wishes that we killed them and expelled the matter, but instead asked the Ming Kingdom to spend more energy and money to pacify them, which is more beneficial to my Qing Dynasty!" ”

As soon as they heard this, these Tartar leaders suddenly realized that they were even wise and wise with His Highness Dao, and then they went to carry out Dolgon's military orders.

Of course, they don't really have to ask about their age, but they roughly mean it, and they almost make a decision on whether to expel or not.

Then Dorgon gave another order to one of his guards, telling him to rush to Dudu's side to reply at once, telling them that they would speed up their meeting and get ready to leave the customs.

After doing this, when Dolgon looked up at the team in front of him, he saw that many of the Ming people had been expelled by his men.

Those people, some of whom had relatives still in the ranks, were crying in the face of life and death, while some were expelled, thinking that they were going to kill them, and one by one they were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy; Of course, there are also those who spread their feet and run.

The marching team is obviously shortening, so that not only can the team's ground defense be strengthened, but also the speed of the march will be increased.

While he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he couldn't help frowning, and turned his head to look.

But it was Haug who led his guards and galloped towards him.

Before the person arrived, Hauge had already shouted loudly: "What's the matter? These Han dogs were all used by the emperor to take back Liaodong at the request of the emperor, why should they be driven away! ”

Obviously, he came all the way and saw the scene of the Qing warriors expelling the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Didn't you read the letter? Reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom have arrived. We have captured enough people and materials, and these will die on the road if they are not expelled, so there is no need. Dorgon replied coldly.

Hauge had already approached at this time, and sat on his horse and casually signaled, which could be regarded as a salute to the boss, and then asked dissatisfiedly: "Then why don't you kill them?" There are too many Han dogs, and only one can be one less if you kill one! ”

"Do you think it's better for the Yongwei battalion behind us to see the corpses in one place, or is it better to see the people of the Ming Kingdom who are hungry and waiting to be fed?" Dolgon asked with some disdain.

When Hauge heard this, he replied without hesitation: "Of course it's a corpse...... Well...... Then take your chance! ”

He is not stupid, he answered from his own point of view at first, but he immediately came back to his senses, stood on the side of the Yongwei Battalion and thought about it, and suddenly thought of expelling these people to the Yongwei Battalion behind him, and the Yongwei Battalion would definitely have a big headache. The forbidden army of the Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom can't watch the people of the Ming Kingdom starve to death in front of him, right?

Although he figured this out, he didn't want to bow to Dolgon, so he immediately changed the subject: "Why is Yue Tuo so stupid that he actually lost five thousand infantry troops?" “

"After this matter is returned, the emperor will have his own judgment!" Dorgon replied, and then his voice rose a little and said, "This king has called you here because he has something to do. ”

"What's the matter?" Although Hauge was not happy with Dorgon pointing fingers at him, he had no choice but to ask after all, so he had to ask.

"Your troops will launch an offensive against the trailing Ming army before noon!" Dolgon said solemnly, "Remember, this battle is mainly to fight the Ming army behind the miscellaneous cards, it is best to kill them, so that they no longer dare to follow." ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Hauge wanted to speak, he added with a wave of his hand: "In this way, when the Yongwei battalion encounters the burden we throw at them, they can only dispose of it themselves, which not only consumes their military food, but also consumes their energy, and this tail can be removed." ”

As soon as he heard that it was reasonable, Hauge didn't dare to do it in business. Otherwise, if he goes back, Huang Taiji won't be able to spare him. Therefore, he immediately took the command and departed. It's not a brave guard battalion, this task is very simple.

So, the Ming troops everywhere who hid behind the Yongwei Battalion and wanted to take credit for the Yongwei Battalion suffered all at once.

About 10,000 or so Tartar cavalry, of course, most of them were Mongol Eight Banners, suddenly bypassed the Yongwei camp and launched a frantic attack on them.

These Ming soldiers had thought that the Tartar cavalry would attack them like this, and they were defenseless, and their combat power was extremely low.

So, before the Yongwei battalion could send troops to rescue, they were already in a crush.

Although the number of people killed and injured by the Tartars is small, after such a blow from the Tartars, who dares to joke with their lives. Therefore, in addition to these Ming troops running back immediately, the rest of the land are also far away, and they are afraid of being unsafe for a day's journey.

As a result, behind the Tartar army, only the Yongwei battalion of more than 10,000 people was still closely following.

In the early afternoon, the Yongwei Battalion began to bump into the people of Jinan Mansion who had been expelled by the Tartars.

Seeing the well-disciplined Tianzhi Force, these people of Jinan Mansion, even if they hid farther, came to the Yongwei Camp for help. There is no way, they are hungry and cold, and they have been plagued by Tartars around them, and they can't find a place to eat and live, and if they don't come to the Yongwei camp, they basically have to wait for death.

At the beginning, whether it was Liu Yuanbin or Lu Jiude, they were all very happy. This can be regarded as their credit, it is they who have rescued these Ming people.

However, as they went further north and gathered more people, they began to feel that something was wrong. By the evening, the number of people gathered exceeded the number of their army.

When the quartermaster came to tell him with a sad face that the food would not last for a few days, they felt that these people had become a hot potato in their hands.

So, when they watched the steady stream of people coming this way, they could see that each other wanted to cry without tears.

As a strong force of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to leave these people behind, so they can only be relocated to the nearby city. But in this way, they can only watch the Tartar army march away.

This is a conspiracy, and they can't crack it in a short time.

The Yongwei battalion didn't know that after Dolgon used this trick, he immediately drew a large number of men and horses from the rearguard army and launched an encirclement and suppression of the small Ming army.

The sudden change in the situation caught those generals off guard, and many of them suffered a big loss.

In this way, Dorgon's army was less disturbed by the ground, and the speed of its return to the north was faster.

On the morning of the same day, on the side of Jingshi, an important court meeting began.
