"Where is their baggage team?"

"Report to the sir, the enemy units are very close to each other, no more than half a mile, and their baggage team is with the Chinese army. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"And where are their guns?" Han Wantao felt that if the baggage team was not easy to fight, he could consider knocking out the artillery.

"Report to the sir, the enemy's artillery is also with the Chinese army."

Han Wantao frowned unconsciously, it seems that Tao Min is careful this time, and his original harassment plan may not be implemented. So what should the cavalry regiment do next, how can it have the effect of harassment and raiding, Han Wantao's heart suddenly had no bottom.

Tao Min accompanied Zilharang to inspect the barracks, and the two returned to the Chinese army's tent.

"Sir." Zilharang asked, "Why do we want to garrison troops here, there are only 6,000 people in Yulin Fort, and our 40,000 warriors of the Eight Banners can eat them in one bite, besides, Mr. also brought a fast gun team and artillery this time." ”

"Lord Belle, don't be in a hurry." Tao Min replied, "Although the enemy army is only 6,000, they are all elite soldiers, and their guns and artillery are no less than ours. Although our Eight Banners warriors are brave, but after these days of trekking, they are also very tired, let's rest here for one night, and tomorrow we can see the enemy's defenses clearly before making plans. ”

"But the Ming army already knows that we are coming, won't they be prepared this night?"

"Lord Belle." Tao Min smiled, "They already knew we were coming, and they didn't prepare for a night." ”

"Then listen to the gentleman." Zierharang knew that Tao Min was more experienced in dealing with the Yulin army.

At noon the next day, 40,000 banners were raised to the foot of Yulinbao.

Tao Min stood on a relatively high dirt slope and held a telescope to look in the direction of Yulinbao.

"What is your plan, sir?" Zilharang watched Tao Min observe for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.

"Their deployment of troops this time is very orderly, and they have set up two lines of defense." Tao Min put down the binoculars, "Lord Belle, looking at the formation of Yulin Fort, we have no good way but to attack from the front." Let's not play with them this time, but have a real competition. ”

"Okay." Zilharang slapped his thigh, "Order, attack." I don't believe that a small fortress can stop my 40,000 warriors. ”

"Lord Belle, don't worry." Tao Min persuaded, "It's not too late for us to attack tomorrow." ”

"Why tomorrow?"

"Let our people rest for another day." Tao Min looked at Yulin Fort in the distance, "I'm going to meet Jiang Beiming for a while today." ”

Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang also stood at the head of the city, holding binoculars and looking at the Eight Banners. As the saying goes, "When the number of soldiers reaches 10,000, there is no boundary; The number of soldiers reached 100,000, and the earth was full of sky. "Although there are only 40,000 Eight Flags this time, at a glance, people are shouting horses and neighing, waving flags.

"Beiming, look, look." Xu Lang suddenly shouted, "Why did the Eight Banners come up with a white flag?" ”

A Niu Lu Ezhen waved a white flag and led a few people slowly to the first line of defense of the Yulin Army, which was Zhou Lei's independent third regiment.

"Commander." Yang Tao shouted, "The Tartars are here with a white flag. ”

"No shots." Zhou Lei ordered, "Yang Tao, take someone with me to see what these Tartars want to do." ”

Zhou Lei and Yang Tao climbed out of the trench with people and came to the front of the Eight Banners.

"This is a letter from our Zhenguo Gong to you Jiang Beiming." That Niu Lu really can speak Chinese, "Our Zhenguo Gong wants to say a few words to your Jiang Beiming." ”

"What else is there to say?" Zhou Lei took the letter and said, "If you want to fight, why do you say so much nonsense." ”

Niu Lu Ezhen pointed to the letter in Zhou Lei's hand: "I delivered the letter, and I also conveyed the meaning of our Zhenguo Gong, whether you come or not, you can do it." ”

Tao Min's letter was delivered to Jiang Beiming, the head of the city.

"Why did Tao Min write again?" Xu Lang smiled, "It is worthy of being born in literature, what did he say in his letter?" ”

"Ye Zhan." Jiang Beiming didn't answer Xu Lang's question, "Take a platoon, go out with me and Chief of Staff Xu, and let's meet Tao Min for a while." ”

Half an hour later, Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang walked to the front of Zhou Lei's position with a platoon waving white flags; Tao Min also led people to the front of the battle with white flags.

"Tao Min." Xu Lang sneered, "That silver is easy to use, how much food have you eaten?" If it's not enough, I'll ask Beiming to send you some. ”

"Huh." Tao Min smiled, "You guys really took great pains, those fake silver are very realistic." ”

"Tao Min, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Beiming asked.

Tao Min stopped laughing: "Jiang Beiming, I don't care about you when you played me before." I tell you clearly, I'm here to take down Yulinburg. I don't want to play any more with you, I see that your defensive positions have been arranged, let's fight once and fight to the death tomorrow. ”

"If you don't play, you won't play?" Before Jiang Beiming could speak, Xu Lang said first, "I'll tell you Tao Min, I don't care if others play or not, but I, Xu Lang, will play you to death." ”

"Xu Lang, is it useful to say these angry words?" Tao Min replied, "I also tell you that Lu Xiangsheng's army will arrive in at least ten days, and Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry still doesn't know about the Year of the Monkey." You 6,000 to me 40,000, Xu Lang, do you want to play with me? Beware of Chongzhen playing you to death. ”

"You two don't talk this useless nonsense." Jiang Beiming stopped the quarrel between the two people, "Tao Min, I promise you, we will all sleep well tonight, and we will fight to the death tomorrow." ”

Jiang Beiming and Tao Min each led people back to their own side.

"Beiming, do you really want to fight Tao Min to the death tomorrow?" In Yulinbao Zhou Lei's office, only Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang were left.

"What can I do if I don't fight a decisive battle?" Jiang Beiming asked rhetorically, "Tao Min's speed this time is too fast, we may not be able to wait for reinforcements from Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Sangui." ”

"That's not what I said." Xu Lang walked over and closed the door, "Actually, what Tao Min said today is very right, the elite of our Yulin Army is here." It is said that even if Wu Sangui comes slowly, Lu Xiangsheng will not be so slow, there must be other reasons for this. ”

"I know." Jiang Beiming sighed slightly, "Before I left Beijing, Lu Xiangsheng told me that there were people in Beijing who wanted to consume us, so he told me to be very careful." ”

"That's not what I'm talking about, we all know Chongzhen's thoughts."

"And what do you mean?" Jiang Beiming didn't understand Xu Lang's words.

"Tao Min said that he wanted to fight to the death, which provoked you." Xu Lang explained, "I guess after Tao Min was tricked by us, his life on Huang Taiji's side would not be easy. I originally thought that he was carrying at least 60,000 Eight Banners, but now that I look at it, Huang Taiji may not trust him very much. That's why Tao Min is in a hurry to fight with us, and he wants to regain the trust of Huang Taiji by inflicting heavy losses on the Yulin Army. ”

Jiang Beiming thought carefully for a while: "You seem to be the truth, so what are your plans?" ”

"Beiming, do you know that in the original history, Chongzhen once made peace with Huang Taiji?" Xu Lang suddenly diverted the topic.

"I've heard Lu Lao talk about this, but I don't know very well." Jiang Beiming suddenly smiled, "You don't want to tell stories again, do you?" ”

"Nope. Even if I wanted to tell a story, I don't have time right now. Xu Lang pulled a chair and sat down," I said briefly. Chongzhen has made peace with Huang Taiji several times in history, the most famous is the 15th year of Chongzhen Chen Xinjia, and it is also the last time. ”

Xu Lang suddenly stopped when he said this: "Hey, Beiming, why didn't you interrupt me, don't you think I'm nagging?" ”

"Say it quickly." Jiang Beiming smiled, "If you interrupt your kung fu, you'll be done." ”

"Yes." Xu Lang lit a cigarette and threw another one to Jiang Beiming, "Chongzhen has always been struggling to fight with the Manchus and Li Zicheng, so if he wants to fight outside, he must first settle down and negotiate peace with Huang Taiji first." And Huang Taiji also knew that the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not be compared with that of the Ming Dynasty, and he always wanted to imitate North Korea and establish a country on his own. This is similar to our current relationship with Tao Min, we have not been absolutely trusted by Chongzhen, and Tao Min is probably the same now, so there is a possibility of peace between us and Tao Min. ”

"Do you want to make peace with Tao Min?" Jiang Beiming wondered why Xu Lang had this idea, he swore with his fingers.

"Yes, I want to make peace with Tao Min, you're weird, aren't you?" Xu Lang's mood suddenly fell.

"Hmm." Jiang Beiming didn't know how to answer Xu Lang, so he had to hum.

Xu Lang quietly raised his severed finger: "I will never forget this oath, but now, the situation has changed." From Tao Min's side, if he really wants to destroy us this time, even if Lu Xiangsheng and Wu Sangui can't come, and destroy our 6,000 people, at least half of his 40,000 banners will die. The Manchus were so many, and Zilharang wouldn't let him do that. If he really wants to die halfway, let alone go to North Korea and Japan, if he can't get Huang Taiji, he will be chopped up directly. ”

"Hehe, chop him." Jiang Beiming was amused, "But what you said makes a lot of sense." ”

"What about our side, then?" Xu Lang continued to analyze, "We can't afford to die so many people, not to mention the issue of pensions, these are our elite, if these 6,000 people are all consumed here, we may not have much use value in the Ming Dynasty government." If that really happens, without any Westerners and Zheng Zhilong, Chongzhen can destroy us. ”

"Although you are very reasonable." Jiang Beiming snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, "But in this situation, how can we make peace with Tao Min." Even if you can make peace with Tao Min, are you willing to watch the Manchu Qing grow stronger and watch Tao Min go to North Korea steadily? ”

"That's the way it is now." Xu Lang also extinguished his cigarette, "Tao Min wants to train the Korean army, and we want to unite Zheng Zhilong and Westerners to Japan." Neither of us actually wants to fight this battle, and Tao Min and we need a respite and time to prepare. As for the growth of the Manchu Qing that you mentioned, there is no way to do it. Sooner or later, we will have to fight to the death with the Manchus, but the problem is that our current strength is still too small, if we fight with the Manchus now, it can only be a battle with the crane and a mussel, and the fisherman will benefit. When we grow to a certain extent, and no force can pose a threat to us, then we can fight to the death with the Manchus. ”

Jiang Beiming thought about Xu Lang's words and didn't speak.

"Beiming, in fact, I still have an idea." Xu Lang said again, "Maybe you won't agree with this idea." Ever since Tao Min and Tao Gong defected, I've been thinking about a question, why do we have to destroy the Manchus. Tao Min said back then, we can transform the Ming Dynasty, why can't we transform the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus are also a member of the Chinese nation. ”

"Xu Lang, how did you have this idea?" Jiang Beiming was a little dissatisfied, "Destroying the Manchus and saving the Han people has long been decided by the crossing conference. ”

"I know." Xu Lang said with some pain, "If the result of doing something is a dead person, or only a dead person can complete a thing, I always feel that this is not right." What is the difference between one group of people going to destroy another group of people and Hitler? It's just that Hitler is a race, and we are a nation or a class. ”

"I see what you mean." Jiang Beiming stood up and patted Xu Lang, "We don't want to exterminate the Manchu nation, we just want to adapt to this era." ”
