Chapter 44 Transmission to the People
、、、、、、、
Diao Zheng got Xiao Tianjian's order one step earlier, and led his troops out of Taihang Mountain from Huguan County, Lu'an Prefecture, entered the territory of Zhangde Mansion, and then drove along the mountainous area west of Zhangde Mansion to the area of Shunde Mansion, where he sat and waited for the convergence of Xiao Tianjian's main force.
However, during this time, they were not idle, in the mountains in the northwest of Shunde Prefecture, ambushed small groups of Tartar soldiers everywhere, and the Tartars often sent small teams of men and horses to plunder around because of their contempt for the official army, and they were accidentally surrounded and killed by Diao Zheng's troops.
So Diao Zheng immediately led the troops to assemble, towards Xiao Tianjian assigned to him Songjiazhuang area, on the 16th of the lunar month, Diao Zheng led the troops to the west of Shunde Mansion Songjiazhuang, and quickly cleaned up the Tartar stragglers within more than ten miles around, because Yan Chongxi guarded the south of Jin, has a unique superior conditions, so at present, the quality of the equipment of the soldiers and horses in this town of Yan Chongxi can be said to be the best in the Xingtian Army, among the two battalions of soldiers led by Diao Zheng, the amount of equipment alone has reached more than sixty percent. The number of pikemen was greatly reduced, making their combat effectiveness quite strong, and a small group of Tartar soldiers could almost only be slaughtered against them, and they could not reach their approach at all, and they were defeated.
Therefore, it is a very safe way to use Diao Zheng's men and horses to meet Luo Li, and after Diao Zheng arrived in Songjiazhuang, he did not wait in Songjiazhuang, but left a company of troops, sat in Songjiazhuang, and prepared in advance to meet Xiao Tianjian's main force, and he himself immediately led the remaining more than 2,000 soldiers to quickly go north to meet Luo Li and Li Xin.
When they went to the White Horse River on the way, they encountered a group of hundreds of Tartar soldiers again, at this time the Tartar soldiers had learned the news of the powerful Xingtian Army, this time they did not dare to fight to the death with Diao Zheng, but they were stationed on a bridge on the White Horse River, taking advantage of the fact that the ice of the White Horse River was not solid, if Luo Li's department went south, the only way to cross the river was to take this stone bridge, trying to block Luo Li's department from going south, and at the same time preventing Diao Zheng's department and Luo Li's department from converging, but unfortunately they took a defensive position, But when they faced the Xingtian Army, which outnumbered them, they were still only slaughtered.
After a fierce battle, the poor Tartar soldiers and horses did not have the strength to fight back at all, so they were beaten and dispersed by Diao Zheng, and the idea of preventing the convergence of the Xingtian army became a joke, but more than 200 corpses were left in vain, and the remnants of the army fled from the White Horse River to find their main force.
As a result, Luo Li and Li Xin fought and retreated along the way, and finally managed to retreat to the bank of the White Horse River with the tens of thousands of people, and joined Diao Zheng's department.
At this time, Dolgon and Yue Tuo both learned the news of Du Du's fiasco, and the angry Dolgon almost dragged Du Du out and beat him to death, if it weren't for the other Baylor intercessions, Du Du would really be unable to escape death this time.
In the battle of Neiqiu, the entire Red Banner led by Du Du lost half of the troops, and the heavy losses even exceeded the losses suffered by Dolgon and Yue Tuo in Julu, which greatly damaged the strength of the Red Banner, and the Red Banner could be said to be sluggish in a short period of time.
But fortunately, at the last moment, Du Du came a strong man with a broken wrist and saved the most elite Bayala battalion in the banner, which can be regarded as how much he has saved the blood and bones of the red flag, otherwise no one will be able to save Du Du.
At this time, Dolgon and Yue Tuo realized that the Xingtian Army went north this time, not only the six or seven thousand men and horses who fought with them in Julu, but they also had at least one or even two teams of men and horses, and they also went north at the same time, with a main force to the giant deer to rescue Lu Xiangsheng, containing and confusing the main force of Dolgon and Yue Tuo, and taking advantage of this opportunity to send another group of men and horses to kill the Neiqiu Dudu Department secretly, as a result, Du Du did not know the strength of the Xingtian Army, and led his troops and the Xingtian Army to a big battle, In the end, they failed miserably and fled, and robbed them of all the people, animals and treasures they had plundered along the way.
In fact, this time Du Du was defeated, Dolgon and Yue Tuo were also responsible, they did not expect the actions of the Xingtian Army, and after suffering a loss, they did not notify Du Du in time, so that Du Du was also careless, and rashly led his troops to fight against the Xingtian Army, and as a result, they suffered a big defeat and suffered heavy losses.
At this time, Dolgon and Yue Tuo were a little frightened, after they fought with the Xingtian Army several times, they had already found that with their current style of play, it was basically impossible to be the opponent of the Xingtian Army, unless they now withdrew all the troops they had divided, gathered heavy troops, found the Xingtian Army with crowd tactics, and had a big duel with them at any cost, so that they could hope to win the battle and kill this group of Xingtian Army.
But this is not in their interests, or that sentence they came to the Ming Dynasty to rob, not to play with their lives, with their Jianzhou Jurchen strength, they can't afford to fight, not to mention that this time they broke through the pass into the Kou, the two banners of the Yellow Banner and the Yellow Banner under the jurisdiction of Huang Taiji did not go south, and the rest of the flags all went out, and the Mongolian Eight Banners also went out with the army and some Han soldiers, if they fought with the Xingtian Army here, they lost all their right to speak in the clan when they returned to the Guanwai, and from then on they could only lie honestly, Being the dog of the Emperor Taiji is absolutely unacceptable to an ambitious man like Dorgon.
So things have developed to this point, Dolgon also felt a little blind, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he privately avoided Hauge and discussed with Yue Tuo, Yue Tuo also agreed with him, and they can't fight to the death with the Xingtian Army, it's best to have a place where the Xingtian Army is, they don't want to provoke them, the province has exhausted their soldiers, and they can't live after they go back.
At this point, in fact, the Jianzhou Jurchen Tartars are not monolithic, and they are also full of all kinds of strife and deceit.
It was precisely because of the selfishness of Dolgon, Yue Tuo and others that they took the initiative to give up the opportunity to pursue the Xingtian Army to fight against them, and Xiao Tianjian successfully led the main force to cross the Shunde Mansion, and finally converged with Diao Zheng and Luo Li in Songjiazhuang.
When he saw the tens of thousands of people gathered in the entire Songjiazhuang area, as well as uncountable mules, horses, vehicles and a large number of supplies, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but be stunned even if he was calm and abnormal, although the strategy was formulated by him personally, but when the strategic goal was achieved, seeing the huge amount of their seizures, Xiao Tianjian was still a little uncontrollable, and laughed wildly.
But after thinking about it, although he has gained a lot, these people are still people of the same roots, they were taken captive by foreign captives, and now they have been rescued by themselves, and these belongings are also their Han people's things, but they were snatched back by him from the hands of the Tartars, which is worth rejoicing about.
So Xiao Tianjian returned to normalcy, and Tima ran towards the camp that had been set up.
Luo Li, Li Xin, Diao Zheng and other generals from afar all welcomed out of the camp, and the stars welcomed Xiao Tianjian into the camp, and sat down in the big tent that had already been set up for him, until this time Xiao Tianjian smiled and said to them: "Luo Li, Li Xin, you have made a great contribution this time!" And your merit is not how much you have done for our Heavenly Army, but you have saved these tens of thousands of people, so that they do not have to become slaves of the Tartars. Xiao can only say to you that you have worked hard! ”
Hearing Xiao Tianjian praise the two of them so much, Luo Li and Li Xin were overjoyed, although Xiao Tianjian is usually not harsh on his subordinates, but it is rare to see him praise anyone like this, and today he can praise them with such heavy words, it can be seen that Xiao Tianjian is very satisfied with their attack on the Neiqiu Dudu Department this time, so the two of them also quickly got up and said that they didn't dare to be, Li Xin even said that this was Xiao Tianjian's good scheduling, so that they could win this big victory.
"Don't be modest, merit is merit or fault, and what should be praised should be praised! You've done a great job this time! Of course, there is Diao Zheng, who did a better job than I thought, you did not stick to the rules and obey orders, but after arriving in Songjiazhuang, you took the initiative to attack Luo Li and Li Xin and them, and you also contributed a lot to this battle! Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and praised Diao Zheng.
Diao Zheng hadn't seen Xiao Tianjian for so long, and when he saw Xiao Tianjian again today, he was very excited, and replied loudly with a flushed face after coming out of the ranks: "The last general...... The last general will see the big handsome! The last general was originally a handsome man to die! This is a matter of the last minute! The handsome don't have to be praised! ”
After hearing this, the generals all laughed, Diao Zheng was so excited that he couldn't say anything, and even Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.
After learning about the losses of the various departments, he ordered Diao Zheng to take over the people and materials that Luo Li and Li Xin snatched back, cover them south, and either introduce them from Huguan to Jinnan, or escort them directly to Weihui Mansion, and specifically ordered Diao Zheng to be responsible, if he can, try to send them to Weihui Mansion, after all, Henan is now the time when labor is needed, once these tens of thousands of young men and women are sent to Henan, It will undoubtedly play a very big role in restoring Henan's agricultural production, and more than half of these tens of thousands of young people are strong men, and each of them is a strong labor selected by the Tartars, and they can be trained into soldiers at any time, which is very important to the Xingtian Army.
Diao Zheng immediately received the order, saying that he would definitely handle this matter well, and he would definitely escort these people safely to the area controlled by the Xingtian Army.
