The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

The traffic was rolling, the horses were neighing, and the Tartar scouts were going back and forth along the way, reporting on the situation along the way.
Under the banner of the red flag, Yue Tuo wore a stone blue four-clawed python robe, rode on a tall horse, and slowly moved forward under the escort of the elite white tooth horn.
He has always been cautious in the use of troops, especially under Qin Haoming's sneak attack and harassment, he suffered heavy losses, and even increased his precautions.
Du Du on the side was a little unimpressed, and the banner owner Dolgon had repeatedly urged him to take Zhao County before the Spring Festival of the Han people, and he would be ashamed.
In his opinion, Chen Xinjia's 40,000 army, which followed closely behind, was a herbivorous elephant, although he looked burly, he was docile and honest, and not aggressive.
That Xiucai named Qin Haoming, a team of several hundred people is a lone wolf at best, how can he be the opponent of their group of lions?
However, Yue Tuo was unmoved, and was still heavily guarded, protecting all the grain, grass, baggage, and siege equipment in the army, like a bulky turtle shell slowly squirming in the direction of Zhao County.
According to him, although the lone wolf does not have the ability to destroy the lions, but taking the time to let him bite will also make you break your muscles and bones and make you feel uncomfortable.
"Call the king."
Yue Tuo thought about it, and at present, only the Han army flag guarded the prisoners, and the protection of the prisoners was somewhat weak, so he should not be careless.
"Slave see master, Dorobel auspicious!"
Far away, Wang Shixuan turned over and dismounted, ran a few steps and panted to see Yue Tuo.
He was a native of Yulin, Shaanxi, and served as a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty in his early years.
In 1630, the Tartars entered the border of Guankou, and rescued Zunhua with the chief military officer Weixian, and the later official Weixian died in battle, and Wang Shixuan was defeated and fled.
Soon, the Qing army besieged Jin Riguan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, in Malan City, and Prime Minister Ma Shilong sent Wang Shixuan to rescue him, who was trapped in the city.
In February, he was cleared and awarded the general army. In 1633, the Han army was under the red flag of the prime minister of Tong Yangxing.
In 1634, as a striker, he captured Shuozhou from Xuanhua Mansion with Beile Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Haoge.
In 1636, he accompanied the Korean expedition and participated in the Battle of Songjin, and was awarded the title of third-class viscount for meritorious service. The current Han army is the red flag and the red flag are all unified.
"The king, please get up and answer."
Yue Tuo rode on a tall horse, looking at Wang Shixuan, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but it was gone in a blink of an eye, and he said to him kindly.
To appease the Han people, the Manchu-Han marriage was first proposed by Yue Tuo to Huang Taiji.
In 1631, the Later Jin Kingdom won the Battle of the Daling River, and there were as many as 100 Han officials and Han generals who surrendered, and there were also many Han people.
In order to make them settle down and serve the Houjin, Yue Tuo suggested that the Han people in Dalinghe should be treated preferentially and that the hearts of the Han people in the world be attached, and the great cause could be accomplished.
As for how to give gifts, Yue Tuo believes that the Manchu and Han intermarriages are the best: all those who are subordinate to the first-class officials will be the wives of the beylers; The second-rank official is the wife of the minister of the court; The soldiers were first matched with Han women, and the rest were matched with Zhuangtou women under Bahe Shuobeile.
Moreover, if the daughter of the minister of Zhubeile marries and bullies her Han husband, her parents shall be punished.
Huang Taiji accepted Yue Tuo's suggestion, and in the first month of 1632, Yue Tuo led by example and took the lead in marrying Tong Yang, a great traitor in the Ming Dynasty.
"Hey, the slave thanked the master."
Wang Shixuan bowed and stood up with a sneer, but when he was standing, the whole person was also prostrate forward with his chest, rather than a straight waist.
Also, how is it possible for a person who is used to being a slave to straighten his waist in front of his master?
In fact, it's no wonder that he is like this, not to mention that he is a small Han army banner commander, that is, Fan Wencheng, who is known as the head of Wenchen, took the initiative to surrender to the Tartars, and was relied on by the enemy chief Taiji as a confidant.
But he couldn't even keep his wife, and was humiliated by Prince Yu Duoduo, which shows the status of traitors in the Jiannu court.
"Do you have a problem there, can you watch the Han captives?"
Yue Tuo didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly.
"The minions have tied up every hundred of them, and said that if one escapes, the rest will be beheaded!
Even if there is any unexpected situation, with Master Kueller cruising around, it is expected that the loss will be limited. ”
Wang Shixuan's eyelids drooped and he bent his body to answer.
"Hmm!" Yue Tuo nodded approvingly and waved his hand to let him go.
I have to say that the Han people are smart, although they are cruel, they are not his people anyway.
Wang Shixuan saluted cautiously, and took a few steps backwards before turning around and stepping on the horse, whipping and galloping.
It wasn't until he got up that Yue Tuo discovered that Wang Shixuan was actually extremely tall, not looking obscene in front of him.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Yue Tuo's mouth, only by domesticating the Han people into an obedient dog could the Qing Dynasty enter the Central Plains.
Five miles behind the Jiannu army, the 40,000 Ming soldiers led by Chen Xinjia were following unhurriedly.
From above, the two armies were so close that they were almost close together, and for unknown reasons they thought they were the follow-up troops of the Tartars.
Chen Xinjia wore a scarlet civil official robe and hid under the protection of the Ming soldiers. Even on the march, he was full of thoughts.
Away from the protection of the tall walls, he always had a feeling of insecurity. However, the will of the Son of Heaven has arrived, so he rushed to the aid of Zhao County.
As a civilian commander under the Ming Dynasty's civil system and military practice, he has courage, knows military affairs, and has a little talent, but he has no specific experience in commanding battles.
In addition, his troops were composed of the Weisuo Army, the Beijing Army, and the Xuanfu Army, although they were numerous, their combat effectiveness was average.
Therefore, this trip does not seek merit but no fault!
"My lord, General Qi Gang, a guerrilla in Xuanfu, asked to see him, and there are more than thirty wounded soldiers with him."
The army does not receive proclamations at night.
"Please!"
Chen Xinjia frowned, not daring to slack off.
Qin Haoming and Qi Gang, as representatives of the Winter Solstice prisoners, have made earth-shattering feats and are in the limelight. Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to write nine sides and announce it to the world.
Although he is also a staunch Lord, he does not have Yang Sichang's prestige now, so he does not dare to show it.
Besides, he is now the acting governor of Xuanfu, so Qi Gang is still his subordinate, how can he not see it?
"The last general has seen Chen Dudu."
Soon, Qi Gang, under the leadership of his own soldiers, met Chen Xinjia and explained his intentions.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to be so bold, five hundred people dared to compete with Jiannu, worthy of being a strong soldier, this governor admires!
But rest assured, the injured soldier will be sent to the medical officer immediately. ”
Although the front lines are different, it is in the court, and it has nothing to do with Qi Gang, a guerrilla general, Chen Xinjia naturally agreed.
"Thank you Dudu Chen, if you hadn't restrained the army of Jiannu and made them have scruples, I'm afraid we wouldn't dare to force it?"
According to Qin Haoming's instructions, if Chen Xinjia cooperates, he will give him a credit.
Sure enough, Chen Xinjia's eyes lit up, a smile flashed on his slightly haggard face, and he secretly praised the other party in his heart, and became more and more enthusiastic about Qi Gang.
"I don't know if there's anything else I need Ben Dou to help with, please tell me along?"
Cast it with a peach, repay it with a plum.
Qi Gang and Qin Haoming are so capable of fighting, and they know how to play, Chen Xinjia also has the heart to win over.
"Can Governor Chen support a batch of gunpowder and leads? If so, as much as possible?
If the governor has a heart, the end will give a great merit! ”
Qi Gang's eyes were blazing, staring at Chen Xinjia tightly, but he was sighing secretly in his heart, sure enough, everything was in Qin Xiucai's calculations.
"Oh, a great merit?"
Chen Xinjia's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was hesitant.
The emperor's will is already very clear, to expel the Tartars, even if he and Master Yang are unwilling, there is nothing to do?
Only do what you are told. Originally, I thought that this time it would be just a knock on the side drum, and it would be done without merit.
Of course, if there is merit, it is naturally good!
Seeing this, Qi Gang walked up to Chen Xinjia and whispered, and finally clasped his hands into fists and said, "How to choose at that time is up to Chen Dudu to decide!" ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" The initiative was in his own hands, Chen Xinjia did not hesitate anymore and immediately agreed.
Qi Gang smiled slightly, and the two of them high-fived and swore an oath!
