Chapter 516: Angry Azig (3rd Update)
Jiujiang, the once prosperous riverside town, has now become a barracks.
After entering the city and plundering it, the Manchu prince Azig ordered all the people in the city to be driven out of the city, leaving them to fend for themselves, and vacating the houses to house the tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers who followed him.
After repeated battles, from Xi'an in the north to the Yangtze River, they finally caught up and defeated the main force of the Shun army, and the Marquis of Ru, Liu Zongmin, who had been in battle for a long time and was the head of the civil and military generals, was captured, and the military advisor Song Xiance, his two uncles Zhao Hou and Xiangnan Marquis, and the families of a large number of generals were also captured by the Qing army.
The Battle of Jiujiang can be said to have completely defeated the Shun army, but to Azig's regret, Li Zicheng fled in the chaos.
So Azig sat in Jiujiang City, commanding the search and arrest of Li Zicheng, and only by catching and killing Li Zicheng could his mission be completed.
Before sending troops, Azig and Duoduo had a division of labor, one was responsible for defeating and killing the Dashun army and killing Li Zicheng, and the other was responsible for attacking Nanjing and destroying the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, when he learned that Duoduo's progress was not going well under the city of Yangzhou, Azig only sent Li Guoying and other tens of thousands of green battalions to attack Wuhu and contain the Ming army from the west. Attacking Nanjing, Azig did not want to fight with Duoduo.
At this time, he preferred to stay in a cool house, eat meat and drink wine and enjoy the happiness of the robbed beauties, and count the large amount of wealth seized when he had nothing to do, calculating how much to hand over to the court and how much to put into his own pocket.
The wealth worth tens of millions of taels of silver seized and looted by the Shun army from Beijing fell into the hands of Azig, so that he and his Eight Banners soldiers were full of food and oil, and they had long lost their desire to forge ahead.
"Lord Wang!" A goshha shouted from outside the house, causing Azig to frown.
got off the naked Han girl, lifted her pants, didn't hide her coat, and walked to the outer hall with her thick hair chest exposed.
"Lord Wang, a letter from Jiangpu's Turai!" Goshha, the guard, handed a letter sealed with fire paint to Azig.
"The boy of the Zhiyi Gong Fei Yingdong family, didn't he follow Prince Yu, why did he remember to write to me?" Azig said suspiciously.
After taking the letter, he tore open the envelope casually, took out the letter, and felt that the world was spinning after reading only one line.
"Lord Wang!" The guard Goshha held his swaying body.
Azig opened the letter and looked closely, the flesh on his cheeks twitching, and he was already on the verge of exploding.
Finally, he threw the letter on the ground and scolded: "Waste, incompetence, bastard, 100,000 troops, 40,000 warriors of my Eight Banners, just folded in Yangzhou!" The regent also praised your bravery and wisdom, and put you in charge of destroying the beautiful errand, but handed over the drudgery of chasing and encircling the thieves to me.
Now, just those weak Ming troops, just opened the embankment of Hongze Lake, and wiped out your 100,000 army, love Xinjueluo. Duoduo, you're a fucking shit! ”
Azig roared, scared the Goshha, and what frightened Goshha was the message that came out of Azig's mouth. The Ming army dug the embankment of Hongze Lake, and Prince Yu's 100,000 Qing troops were wiped out in an instant! This, this, how is this possible!
What makes Azig angry is not because of brotherhood, but because of the more than 40,000 warriors of the Eight Banners in the 100,000 army, more than half of whom are soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty have also been submitted to the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and they are no different from the Manchus.
There are more than 40,000 warriors of the Eight Banners, how many people are there in total in the Qing Dynasty?
For this southern expedition, the Qing Dynasty transferred two-thirds of the armored troops, and only two yellow flags were left in Beijing to guard the city, and in the entire Eight Banners, all the adult males added up to less than 200,000 people, and Duoduo lost one-fifth of them at once, among them were battle-hardened warriors, which was already a pain of broken limbs for the Qing Dynasty! It hurts my heart.
Since the founding of the Emperor Amma, he has been fighting with the Ming Dynasty for nearly thirty years, and the Eight Banners have not killed so many people in total, and now so many troops have been cut off by Duoduo at one time! How does this make Azig not angry! If Dordor could escape from the flood without anyone else doing it, Azig would have slaughtered him himself!
After being angry, Azig quickly calmed down and picked up the letter from the ground to look at it carefully. From the Turai letter, it can be seen that the defeat of Duoduo's army was due to carelessness, and he did not expect that the Ming army would take advantage of the heavy rain to dig the embankment of Hongze Lake regardless of the loss of life.
In other words, the Ming army won by luck with the help of the might of heaven and earth, not how high the combat effectiveness was.
Then, if Duoduo is defeated, the task of destroying the light cannot be completed, and the task of destroying the light can only be completed by himself.
A big victory will inevitably make the morale of the Ming Dynasty army soar, and it is necessary to immediately attack the Ming Dynasty and fight a few battles to extinguish the morale of the Ming army. If you retreat like this, it will be very difficult to extinguish the Ming again!
And Azig believes that with the army in his hands, he will definitely be able to defeat Nanjing and destroy the Ming Dynasty.
The main force of 40,000 Eight Banners, plus more than 200,000 surrendered green battalions, who can resist such a strong army?
After thinking it through, Azig wrote a letter to the court in Beijing, telling his brother Dolgon what was happening here and his own judgment. After writing it, it was encapsulated, and he ordered his subordinates to rush 800 miles to Beijing immediately.
Then, Azig sent people to Li Guoying, Xu Ensheng, Hao Xiaozhong and other green battalion generals in Wuhu, ordering them to immediately launch an attack on Wuhu regardless of casualties, and they must take Wuhu within three days, otherwise they will be killed.
Azig then ordered the drums to be beaten and the tents were raised to gather the generals. Soon, Ao Bai, Tan Tai and other Eight Banner generals gathered together. Azig sent them all the letters from Tulai, and the generals were shocked when they read them. 100,000 Qing troops were wiped out in an instant, and 40,000 warriors of the Eight Banners were killed in the flood, and this bad news shocked everyone.
"Lord, we can't stay in Jiujiang anymore, we should immediately send troops to attack Nanjing and avenge Prince Yu and them!"
Ao Bai came out of the crowd and shouted loudly.
"Yes, avenge Prince Yu and the Eight Banners Warriors!" Tan Tai and other Eight Banner generals let out angry roars.
Seeing the angry expressions of the generals, Azig nodded with satisfaction, "Pass on my generals, tomorrow the army will set off, the whole army will sail to Wuhu by boat, attack Nanjing, and so on to capture Nanjing, kill the puppet emperor Chongzhen and that damn Chen Yue, kill all the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty, and pay tribute to the spirit of the Eight Banners warriors in the sky with blood!" ”
