Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Chance for the Youths of Morgan
After entering the Liaoyang Mansion and sitting down with the two Dolgon brothers, Dolgon told Duo that Tong's men and horses had been wiped out, the grain and grass and the thirty red-clothed cannons had been robbed.
After the scouts sent by Dolgon found out about the annihilation of Tong Yangxing that day, Dolgon already had plans to withdraw his army.
Datong City has high walls and thick walls, and it is difficult to take it by relying on human life. Now that there is no food and grass, and there is no red-coated cannon as a secret weapon, it is even more difficult to capture the city. Dolgon, who had been in the army for a long time, knew this.
Then soon after receiving an order from Emperor Taiji in Shangjing, he naturally withdrew without hesitation.
Whoever suddenly appears behind such an armed force with amazing combat effectiveness and unknown strength will not sit idly by. Datong City will not run away with its legs, and can attack at any time. However, if this armed force, which is clearly an enemy, is not eliminated in time, it will be in endless trouble.
After hearing this, Duoduo was surprised: "Big brother, where did this group of people come from, they are not Southern Barbarians, what kind of force has such strength?" Although Tong Yangxing doesn't know how to lift, he is not a muddy minion, and the five thousand Han troops under his command have also passed through the battle array, why was there no one left to be destroyed, and none of them escaped back? It's a weird thing. Moreover, the weapons and armor of these people are different from ours, and the horses they use are all tall horses, which are better than our horses, which is even more strange. It stands to reason that if there was such a force on the border of Liaodong, we would have known it a long time ago, and we would not let them sit so big as they are today. It looked as if the centaur had suddenly fallen from the sky, and there were so many strange things in it. ”
Dolgon said with a solemn face: "It is indeed strange everywhere. The Han people have a good saying: how can others snore on the side of the couch, no matter what the origin of these people is, since they dare to attack me in the Qing Dynasty, then they must all be exterminated, otherwise the invincible prestige of the Qing Dynasty will be ridiculed by the people of the world, and even those southern barbarians will recover some courage in the face of my Eight Banners warriors. For us, if we can't exterminate them, then our good brother will not face us with a smile, I am afraid it will be a sword. Therefore, this time, we not only have to find the girl in Yatu, but also sweep the caves of this team and kill them all. “
"But big brother, we don't know where this army is now, and the grain and grass treasury is all empty, how can we fight this battle?" Dodor thought for a moment and said.
"Hmph, as long as they are not heavenly soldiers, they will definitely be able to leave traces. And according to the time they attacked Tong Yangxing's department and Liaoyang City, their hiding place must be between Datong and Liaoyang. And they also took thousands of Han pigs this time, where would so many people hide if they want to hide? Dorgon looked at Dorgon with blazing eyes.
Duoduo's brain was not slow, and after thinking about it carefully, he soon had a clue, and said excitedly: "Big brother is talking about the mountains?" ”
Dolgon smiled and said, "Between Liaoyang and Datong, there are many mountains, deep valleys and dense forests, so they can only hide in these places. So if we send scouts around and search these places, we'll find something. ”
Duoduo slapped the table and said loudly: "It's still the eldest brother who is wise, after you say this, it will be just around the corner to find these people." ”
Dolgon smiled faintly, and said, "The disappearance of grain and treasury silver is indeed very strange, but don't bother thinking about it now. As long as we find this guy, these things will be revealed. When the food and grass are gone, they go and collect them. Didn't the tens of thousands of Han people in Liaoyang City provide me with grain and grass to pay taxes? Otherwise, what's the use of asking them? You don't need me to teach you this. “
"Hey, big brother, I have a clue too. It's just that the younger brother has another concern. What if these people threaten us with the life of that girl in Yatu? Dodor was excited at first, then frowned.
Dolgon naturally thought about this problem on the way, and said with a cold smile: "There are no eyes on the battlefield, if there is a problem with Yatu, then it is no wonder that we are not to blame, I think our good brother can also understand." ”
Duoduo was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what his brother meant. Eliminate this thief first, Princess Yatu's life can only be ranked second. And he knew that his own brother had the pulse of Huang Taiji, and knew that as long as he exterminated this group of unknown forces and recaptured the grain, grass and treasury silver, even if the princess had three strengths and two weaknesses, the style of the Ming Jun that Huang Taiji had always flaunted would not embarrass them in this matter. It's just a woman, even if it's dead, what's the big deal.
Duoduo knew that his royal brother would never forget the death of his father, and when the emperor contacted the four great beylors to force his three biological mothers to death, Abahai, and Dorgon was only fifteen years old at the time.
This matter has always been a deep thorn in his heart, but he is scheming, never show it on his face, but from the second year to follow Huang Taiji to fight in the south and north, every time he fights, he moves forward bravely, and has a lot of resourcefulness, so that Huang Taiji gradually values him, more and more trust, and also won the title of "Murgen Daiqing" given by Huang Taiji, which means "smart king" in Manchu.
But a person's hatred is not so easy to forget, Huang Taiji thought that Dorgon had forgotten, but Dodor knew that his brother would never forget it in his life.
And this time was Dolgon's chance. If it were possible, he also wanted the emperor's brother, who had forced his thirty-seven-year-old mother to death, also taste the loss of his loved ones.
"Big brother, you say, what the hell to do, I'll listen to you." Duoduo has always admired his brother very much, but he is the only one who looks ahead.
Although Dorgon had three brothers, Azig was the largest, Dorgon was second, and Dorgon was the smallest. But Azig is brave and resourceful, while Dorgon is brave and resourceful and scheming, so Dorgon admires his second brother the most, and always calls Dorgon his eldest brother when the two are facing each other, as a sign of respect.
"There will definitely be news of this group of people within three days, you will be responsible for raising food and grass and military salaries in the next three days, and the army will set off after three days." Dorgon said in a deep voice.
