Seeing that Dolgon also called out Li Zhi's name, Abatai hurriedly said, "Yes, Prince Rui, it's this Li Zhi again!" It's not Abatai waste, it's really that Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are too strong! ”

Hearing Abatai's words, Yue Tuo snorted coldly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yue Tuo was a middle-aged man of nearly forty, with a long thin face and a very strong and athletic body. At this time he sat on Dolgon's left, slightly lower, but still in the middle of the tent, and protested with Dolgon.

Yue Tuo is the owner of the Eight Banners Manchuria Red Flag Banner, and his father Daishan is the owner of the Eight Banners Manchuria Red Flag Banner, and the father and son hold two flags in their hands, and they are also pivotal figures in the Qing Dynasty. Yue Tuo is good at attacking, clear-headed, and talented. But at the same time, he is also very proud, and often makes mistakes because of his uprightness and arrogance.

For example, last year, because the Mongolian envoy insisted that Yue Tuo perform archery, and Yue Tuo's archery skills were not good, he was ridiculed by the Mongols. In a fit of rage, Yue Tuo threw his bow and arrow at the Mongol envoy. Because of this, Huang Taiji demoted Yue Tuo's title to Beizi.

But before leaving for the Ming Kingdom this year, Huang Taiji restored Yue Tuo's title of Baylor. Huang Taiji appointed Yue Tuo as the general of Yangwu and commanded the right wing of the army of the Cypriots. He and Dolgon were the two highest decision-makers in the Qing army.

Yue Tuo put the index finger and thumb of his right hand together and rubbed it gently, and asked in a loud voice towards Abatai:

"Abatai, how did he beat you?"

Although Abatai was the son of Nurhachi, because of his lowly biological mother, his status among the Manchu Beylers was not high, and he did not own many oxen. Although Yue Tuo is Abatai's nephew, he has repeatedly made military exploits as the owner of the Red Flag Banner, and Yue Tuo's status has always been above Abatai. Abatai was also accustomed to being interrogated by Yue Tuo condescendingly.

Abatai looked at Yue Tuo and said loudly: "General Yangwu, then Li Zhi has arranged 10,000 soldiers and horses on the east flank of Lu Xiangsheng, including more than 100 Hongyi cannons. Six thousand soldiers and horses on my right flank rushed forward, and only one thousand people were killed by the cannons in front of the battle, and the right flank collapsed. ”

"As soon as the right flank collapses, then Li Zhi immediately leads his troops to outflank the middle and left flanks, and I can only withdraw the troops and withdraw all the soldiers and horses."

"I was chased and killed by the Ming army all the way, and finally folded more than 700 vests, more than 800 foot armors, and more than 1,000 auxiliaries to follow."

Hearing Abatai's words, the Manchu Mongolian nobles in the Qing army's tent stirred and began to talk to each other. Hongyi artillery is not new, at this time the Manchu Qing and Ming armies were equipped with artillery, for example, Dorgon's left wing army had more than 30 Hongyi cannons, and Yue Tuo's right wing army also had more than 20 Hongyi cannons. But Li Zhi's 10,000 soldiers and horses are equipped with more than 100 Hongyi cannons, which are too well-equipped, and this firepower is too fierce.

What was the scene of more than a hundred cannons firing a salvo of scattered guns in front of the formation? What kind of damage will it cause? The Manchu Mongolian nobles shuddered a little when they thought about it.

No wonder Abatai collapsed.

Beledudu, who was sitting at the bottom of Yue Tuo, said loudly: "This Li Zhi is indeed brave. Our right-wing army was captured by a Ming army under the banner of Li Zi in two days at Hanjiazhuang, Tunliangtunbao, Gu'an County, with a loss of 300 infantry armor and 2,600 auxiliary soldiers. Now it seems that the capture of Hanjiazhuang must also be Li Zhi's soldiers and horses. ”

The Mongolian commanders of the Eight Banners discussed for a while, and finally Yibai, the owner of the Mongolian White Banner, stood up and said: "Two generals, we are here to plunder the population and materials of the Ming army, not to entangle with the Ming army. This Li Zhi's army and horse are too strong, and I suggest that he avoid him when he encounters him in the future to avoid unnecessary losses of soldiers and horses. ”

The Mongol aristocracy was attached to the Manchurians, but they were unwilling to risk the lives of their warriors as a stepping stone to the hegemony of the Manchurians. Several other Mongol nobles echoed Ibai's suggestion and exclaimed:

"Instead of bumping into Li Zhi, it's better to fight a few more counties and grab a few more cities!"

"We have grabbed people and materials, and we can be strong. The strength of the soldiers and horses is their own benefit, and it is their own loss to touch Li Zhi, so don't fight to the death with a strong enemy for the sake of momentary spirit, and lose the soldiers. ”

"More than a hundred cannons are too scary, how many soldiers do you have to lose to rush forward?"

Seeing the weakness and evasion of the Eight Banners Mongolia and the Outer Domain Mongolia, Yue Tuo and Haoge glanced at each other and were very disdainful. These Mongols are full of banditry, and if they can grab a bucket of millet, they will first grab a bucket of millet, without any long-term consideration, no wonder they will be broken one by one by our Qing Dynasty and driven by our Qing Dynasty.

The grand occasion when the Mongols swept the world with cavalry and shooting has long since passed away and cannot be traced.

However, it was not only the Mongols who felt that they could not fight with Li Zhi, but Abatai was also afraid.

Abatai looked at the two main generals and said, "Two generals, I also don't think I can have a hard time with Li Zhi, and when we see his soldiers and horses in the future, we will leave!" We have a lot of horses, and he can't catch up with us! ”

Yue Tuo was very dissatisfied with Abatai's weakness, snorted coldly, and said, "Fear the enemy like a tiger! Was he chased by Li Zhi after that? Where has the majesty of my Qing Dynasty gone? ”

Abatai said: "If you want to take down this Li Zhi, I don't know how much blood will be shed!" I think even if the emperor is here, he won't attack Li Zhi! ”

Yue Tuo sneered: "Abatai, you are scared of being beaten by Li Zhi." If I meet Li Zhi, I will definitely not be defeated by him! ”

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Hao Ge, also smiled and said: "Abatai, you have lost all the prestige of my Manchurian Eight Banners!" ”

Yue Tuo shook his head and said, "If this Li Zhi is not eliminated for a day, he will have to be a big day." It's better to be late than early, and don't give him a chance to break us. I don't think we should attack Jinan this time, we will gather troops and march westward, destroy Li Zhi first, and then slowly plunder in various states and counties. ”

Yibai, the owner of the Eight Banners Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, said: "General Yangwu, fighting to the death with Li Zhi like this, I don't know how many warriors I have to lose to take him." When the time comes, there will be more than 10,000 casualties, and I'm afraid the emperor will also be angry! ”

Engetu, the owner of the Eight Banners Mongolian Red Banner, also stood up and said: "General Yangwu, please think twice, don't gamble with the lives of the soldiers!" ”

Yue Tuo said loudly: "Don't say more, if you don't get rid of this son, I will have no peace in the Qing Dynasty, and I swear to get rid of this son for the emperor!" ”

Although the Mongol nobles also had the right to speak, the final decision to enter the fortress this time was still on the two generals. Now the general Yue Tuo is bent on shaking Li Zhi, and the Mongolian nobles are very unwilling. They looked at each other, and finally looked at Dorgon, the commander who had been silent.

Dorgon touched his pigtails and groaned.

It was not until at last that everyone looked at him that Dolgon said: "I have heard that Li Zhi raised soldiers on private property, and his industries were soap, glass, mirrors, cloth, and steel, all of which were concentrated in Fanjiazhuang, Tianjin. ”

"If these industries of Li Zhi are destroyed, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses will have no money to support at all, and they will all be disbanded!"

"Li Zhi is now far away in Gaoyang, and we sent 40,000 people to Gaoyang to drag him, harass him, and entangle him. Send another 30,000 people to take Fanjiazhuang and destroy his roots! Without industry, he has nothing to worry about! ”

Hearing Dolgon's words, all the Manmeng nobles were stunned, and none of them spoke.

It took a long time for these nobles to react and say loudly one by one:

"Prince Rui's clever plan!"

"High! Prince Rui is indeed wise! ”

"I am ordered to be a wise general! That's a great plan! (To be continued.) )
