Chapter 748: Pursuing While Victory

Fang Yuan of Guangning City received the good news from the front and immediately sent the good news to Chongzhen for a look.

The Battle of the Liaohe River decided the life and death of the Manchu regime.

Chongzhen saw the good news with tears in his eyes, the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was imminent, and his wish since he ascended the throne was finally about to come true, how could it not be exciting?

Fang Yuan summoned Duoduo, who was under house arrest in Quang Ninh City, and gave him the good news of the Battle of Liaohe.

"It's over! It's finally over! ”

Duoduo sighed deeply, relieved. In the months since Dorgon's death, he has been an auxiliary minister, and he has been full of gains and losses. He wanted to revive the Manchu Dynasty's majesty in Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, but he also knew that he was too talented and shallow to learn, and even his brother Dolgon couldn't do it, how could he do it?

These days, he has not slept a day of restful sleep, and now, with the main force of the Two Yellow Banners being completely defeated, it means that the countdown to the fall of the Manchu Qing has begun. The overall situation has been decided, and his hanging heart has also fallen, and he suddenly feels a burst of relief.

Duoduo pinched the good news of the battle of Liaohe, howled and cried for a long time, and went to say goodbye to Fang Yuan. He wanted to go back and prepare 30,000 soldiers and horses with two white flags with Azig, return to Shengjing, and deal with the last aftermath of Shengjing.

Fang Yuan also readily agreed to his request to lead the army back to Shengjing, and released him back to the two white flag barracks in Liaohe. There is only one condition, that is, the report of the defeat in the battle of the Liaohe River must not be leaked to Jierharang, who commanded the two blue flags and two red flags on the side of the Taizi River.

After Duoduo left, Jing Jie said worriedly, "Boss, the two white flags and 30,000 soldiers and horses are just released back to Shengjing, what if it is a tiger returning to the mountain?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Once Dolgon dies, the two white flags are still considered tigers?" A sick tiger at best. If they surrender honestly, there is still a way to live. ”

He stared straight at Jing Jie and said slowly, "If the two white flags still have two hearts, it is just what I want, it is a big deal to slaughter Sheng Jing, and they are to blame." ”

Only then did Jing Jie realize that Fang Yuan had actually been hesitating between extermination or non-extinction of the Jurchens.

The previous policy of indiscriminate genocide in Liaodong was an evil act that completely lost conscience. After all, most of the Jurchen people were also oppressed slaves, and it was indeed unfair to them that these people did not enjoy the benefits of the Jurchen expansion, but they had to bear the responsibility for the extermination of the Jurchens.

To solve the centuries-old threat of the Jurchens, in addition to genocide, it is also possible to move these Jurchens from Liaodong inward in large numbers and a large number of Han Chinese to Liaodong. Hundreds of thousands of Jurchens, how can they be easily assimilated.

Fang Yuan is actually taking one step at a time, if the two white flags really surrender, he will also stop with the boat, the Jurchens in Liaodong, the punishment for slavery should be confiscated for slavery, and the migration should be migrated.

If the two white flags still have the heart and courage of thieves, then they will continue to slaughter with the boat. With such a stubborn and dog-eating group, what is the need for its existence?

Fang Yuan patted Jing Jie on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, immediately send 30,000 elite foot soldiers to cross the river to deal with the aftermath of the Battle of Liaohe." Then he gave an order to the iron cavalry of Chigutai, not to take off his armor and collect his troops, change into military uniforms with two yellow flags, and rush to the Taizi River under the stars. Before the news of the defeat of the Liaohe River arrived, the two blue flags and two red flags of Jierharang were brought together. ”

Jing Jie immediately surrendered his order and said with a smile, "The fancy military uniform of the Manchu Eight Banners is too conspicuous to disguise. We've been full of the Eight Flags many times, and we haven't seen through it once. ”

Fang Yuan also thought it was funny, when Nurhachi and Huang Taiji engaged in this kind of military uniform reform, it was actually to unite the military and distinguish the belonging of the Eight Banners. However, they do not know that this kind of brightly colored military uniform is a taboo on the battlefield, which is not conducive to hiding oneself and is not conducive to distinguishing disguised enemy troops.

Because people always have a preconceived inertia, if they can distinguish friend from foe from military uniforms, they generally will not ask strictly and distinguish in detail. If the uniforms are all the same color and style, the instinctive vigilance will also be interrogated more than once.

After Chigutai received the military order, the so-called soldiers and nobles handed over all the aftermath affairs to the elite infantry led by Zhang Ying, and immediately rushed to the military camp of Zierharang by the Taizi River with 50,000 iron horsemen and more than a dozen captured Eight Banners.

Three days later, when the Ming army's iron cavalry arrived at the Taizi River, Zilharang was still in the dark. But he still had the most basic vigilance, and when he saw that the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags of the brigade suddenly arrived at the Taizi River, he was taken aback, and ordered the cavalry of the two red flags and the two blue flags to wait for the battle, and sent people to inquire about the situation.

The two captured Ezhen lied to the sergeants sent by Jierharang, and the two yellow and two white flags won a great victory in the Liaohe River, killing 60,000 Ming troops, and the Ming army had lost the city of Guangning and retreated to Shanhaiguan in defeat. Duoduo arranged for two white flags to go to Quang Ninh City to loot supplies, and sent two yellow flags to support the Taizihe battlefield.

In order to save their lives, the two Ezhen described the battle situation of the Liaohe River vividly, as if they were in the scene, how did the Ming army rout, Fang Yuan was also hit by three arrows, and almost captured Emperor Chongzhen alive.

The sergeant sent by Zilharang was also insightful, and as soon as he heard about the victory of the Liaohe River, he was convinced, and immediately returned to the barracks to report to Zilharang.

Jierharang is overjoyed, this time in the Liao River completely annihilated the main force of the Ming army, two white flags, two yellow flags made a great achievement, as one of the auxiliary ministers, can not be condescended to the people, must be completely annihilated on the other side of the Taizi River, from Korea, Phi Island soldiers and horses, is also a great achievement!

Zilharang immediately ordered the sergeants to be relieved of their guard, and most of the sergeants returned to the camp to rest, and only personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses to welcome the arrival of the reinforcements from the Two Yellow Banners.

Chigutai, who came to the surprise attack, saw that Zilharang relaxed his vigilance, and even went out of the barracks in person, knowing that the time for the beheading operation had come!

Without saying a word, Chigutai ordered 5,000 Ming army iron cavalry to go to meet Jilharang. There is only one military order, don't say more nonsense, just rush and kill, and cut Zilharang!

In front of the barracks, Zilharang saw a group of soldiers and horses with two yellow flags galloping towards him.

He was not vigilant at first, and even dismounted, waiting for reinforcements from the two yellow flags to arrive. But when he saw the cavalry with two yellow flags rushing to the nearest place, without the slightest slowdown, he faintly became suspicious, and ordered a group of fifty sergeants to go and give the order, and stop three hundred paces outside the barracks.

The sergeant who went to give the order had not yet walked up to the horse, "Crackle! A dense burst of gunfire rang out, directly knocking the group of sergeants into a hornet's nest.

Chigutai killed this group of sergeants, and there were still three hundred paces away from Zilharang's military formation, and without saying a word, he ordered the whole army to accelerate the charge!

Zilharang was shocked when he heard the gunshots, although there are firearms in the armament of the two yellow flags, but they are not mainstream equipment, how can there be such a dense gunshot? !

He gasped, sensed that something was wrong, and exclaimed, "Not good! This is the Ming Army! It's not two yellow flags! ”

Zilharang ordered the soldiers in front of the battle to counterattack, and hurriedly turned back to prepare to mount his horse. Although he was also a fierce general on horseback, he had been pampered all these years, and he was already obese, and he couldn't get on the horse after several straddles, and several sergeants immediately rushed up to help him get on the horse.

A distance of three hundred paces was a matter of moments for the cavalry.

Zilharang had just sat down firmly on horseback, and Chigutai had already killed in front of him, raised his saber, and slashed with a wave of his hand!

Blood spurted out, and Zilharang's head rolled far away, and his bulky body fell heavily from his horse, splashing a pool of blood.
