Jinan Mansion

The three flags of the blue flag, the yellow flag and the blue flag have retreated from Yanzhou Mansion to Jinan Mansion.

At this time, he went to pursue Fang Yuan, but after Turg led the white flag to destroy Qingfeng Mountain, he also returned to Jinan Mansion. Coupled with the Zhenghong Banner that was already guarding Jinan Mansion, all the five flags that entered the customs and looted this time gathered in Jinan City.

Abatai counted the casualties since the entry of the Manchu Five Banners, and the Zhenghuang Banner lost 17 Niulu, the Zhenglan Banner lost 21 Niulu, the Blue Banner lost 2 Niulu, the Zhenghong Flag lost 2 Niulu, and the Blue Flag lost 2 Niulu.

After three months of war, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost a total of 44 cattle records, a total of 13,200 people, and the 40,000 people who entered the customs this time have lost 30%.

Abatai pinched the list of casualties that had been summarized, his hands were trembling, his vest was already full of cold sweat, if he returned to Shengjing with such a record, it was estimated that he would be slaughtered immediately by Huang Taiji.

He has deeply regretted that he was a ghost who promised Huang Taiji to be the commander of the customs, he thought he was here to slaughter the fat sheep, but he unexpectedly met Fang Yuan's hard bones, if he could keep his head this time, he would never dare to bring troops into the customs next time.

Abatai took a deep breath and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in the battle of Yanzhou, our army can be said to be a crushing defeat, how should we fight next?" Let's talk about it. ”

Turg and Ashley were silent, each making their own little calculations. The inlaid white flag and the inlaid blue flag are the retreat of the whole army, and even the inlaid blue flag has made a small contribution, annihilating Liu Zeqing's Ming army of more than 4,000 people, so naturally there is no need to worry about going back and being punished like Abatai.

Seeing that the crowd did not say anything, Abatai asked, "Darhan, what do you think?" ”

There are only 4 Niu Lu left in Darhan's Zhenglan Banner, and it is certain that he will die when he returns to Shengjing, and now he is a dead horse as a live horse doctor, "I think that we should concentrate our forces and go south to Yanzhou, this time as long as we are strict in military discipline, Fang Yuan's little mongrel will never have a chance to take advantage of it again." We will definitely break through Jining City and Yanzhou City, and slaughter the city to vent our anger! ”

Turg and Ashley glanced at each other, Darhan obviously wanted to use the 20,000 people inlaid with white flags, blue flags, and red flags to atone for his own crime of killing his head, why did the three flags block the guns for Abatai and Darhan?

Ashley said, "Darhan is just going to do it! Let's not talk about how many more people we have to die before we can forcibly capture Yanzhou City and Jining City, even if we capture it, so what? The gains outweigh the losses! ”

Darhan was still angry that the blue flag was under the city of Jining and did not save him, and immediately counterattacked, saying, "If it weren't for the blue flag to fear the enemy and move under the city of Jining without fighting, the battle of Yanzhou would not have been defeated!" ”

The yellow flag and the blue flag were clearly intended to share the fault of the defeat with the white, blue and red flags, but Turg could no longer sit still, and sang and said in harmony with Ashley, "That's not right!" I heard that the blue flag faced 30,000 Ming troops, and it was able to make small gains and annihilate more than 4,000 people. And Zhenglanqi is facing 1000 Ming troops, but hiding in the Chinese army camp and not daring to fight, who is afraid of the enemy and does not fight? ”

Darhan was speechless, and looked at Abatai as if asking for help.

Abatai stood up and said to Darhan, "The blue and yellow flags are facing Fang Yuan's thousands of elite cavalry. I'm also strange, Fang Yuan was obviously bitten by the white flag, why did he suddenly appear under Jining City? The defeat of Yanzhou, the white flag should be the first responsibility, Turg, you must give me an explanation. ”

Turge was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that Abatai wanted to blame all the faults of Yanzhou's defeat on the inlaid white flag, and immediately retorted, "Lord Belle, it is clear that your battlefield command is unfavorable, but you deliberately raised the combat power of a Fang Yuan to get away with it!" According to you, does Fang Yuan have three heads and six arms, and can beat me ten Qing warriors in one piece? ”

In order to get rid of his crimes, Abatai could only catch the white flag and chase Fang Yuan's negligence, "Okay, Turge, then you can tell me, Fang Yuan has annihilated the positive yellow flag, the positive blue flag, and even the positive red flag." The blue flag is under the city of Jining, and I don't mention it for the time being, why didn't I move the white flag 1 Niu Lu? ”

Turg said to him-for-tat, "What does Lord Belle mean, let's say it directly!" ”

Abatai was about to speak, when the sergeant came to report and intercepted a letter outside the city, which Fang Yuan had specially sent to Turg, who was inlaid with a white flag.

Turge was taken aback, he and Fang Yuan obviously had no friendship, why did Fang Yuan pass the letter over?

Abatai glanced at Turg obliquely, ordered the sergeant to bring the letter, and opened it to see that Fang Yuan was grateful to Turg for the grace of giving way to the white flag, and promised to give Turg a gift of 100,000 taels of silver from Prince Dolgon.

Abatai slammed the letter on the table and said angrily, "Turg, what else do you have to say?!" ”

Turg took the letter and read it, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat in his vest with fright, and said hesitantly, "Lord Belle, this, this is discord, this is slander!" ”

Abatai finally found a chance to clear his felony and save his life, where would he care whether Fang Yuan's letter was true or false, and could only bite the charge of collaborating with the enemy in Turg, "What slander?!" Fan Yongdou once brought back the words, and Fang Yuan also said in front of Jin Shang that Prince Herui was a brother. I thought I was slandering Prince Rui, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. ”

Darhan also saw the mystery in it, and followed Abatai to coax and said, "I'll just say it's strange, the Ming army is obviously a tofu army, and it can win consecutive battles, it turns out that the white flag colluded with Fang Yuan on the battlefield, causing me to lose more than 10,000 Qing warriors, and thousands of warriors of my blue flag died too unjustly!" ”

The two sang and planted the white flag in harmony, and Turg said tremblingly, "This is Fang Yuan's divisive plan, I will immediately go to meet Fang Yuan with the white flag to show my innocence!" ”

With the heavy evidence of Fang Yuan's collusion with Dolgon and Turg in hand, this time it is Abatai's turn to start not panicking, if he orders the inlaid white flag to meet Fang Yuan, no matter whether he wins or loses, the inlaid white flag will also clear the suspicion, and the major crime of the defeated army will fall back to his Abatai, how can this work?

Abatai calculated in his heart, even if Fang Yuan was planning to discord, this letter was also his last straw, in the face of the temptation to save his life, whether Fang Yuan's letter was true or false was actually not important at all.

Abatai sneered and said, "No need! Before the white flag, I didn't feel painless and played a game of cat and mouse with Fang Yuan, and you want me to watch it again?! I will return to Shengjing immediately, state the truth, and severely punish the culprit!" ”

The so-called culprit is naturally the big boss behind Turg, Prince Rui Dolgon.

Seeing that he had made up his mind to frame the white flag, Turg got up angrily and said, "Good! I'll rush back to Shengjing immediately! ”

Turg and Ashley were angry and left, Abatai looked at the backs of the two, and said coldly, "Darhan, immediately reorganize the army, leave all the population, bring the gold and silver and half moon rations with you, and rush back to Shengjing at full speed." If Turg is allowed to go back first and make false accusations, we will surely die. ”

In order to save his life, Darhan could no longer care about the plundered gold and silver and population, and happily agreed, and immediately went down to order the whole army of Zhenghuang Banner and Zhenglan Banner to return to the division.

Fang Yuan was stationed in Jiaxiang City at this time, and according to his promise, all the gold and silver looted by the Tartars were moved away by Liu Zeqing, and he only collected 30,000 looted people and temporarily settled them in Jiaxiang City.

He also took the time to write a letter of gratitude to Dolgon and Turg for opening a divisive letter and sent it to Jinan Mansion. He was not sure whether this letter of discord would have any effect, but if it could make these Tartars eat dogs, it would be the best.

Liang Min, who was in Liangshan a hundred miles away, also brought his brothers to Fang Yuan and his party with food to reward the army.

Fang Yuan truthfully informed the news of Zhang Da's death in Qingfeng Mountain, and the Liangshan brothers cried a lot, and immediately sacrificed Zhang Da and other 800 brothers who died in battle in Shuibo. Fang Yuan also went to Liangshan in person to participate in this sacrifice.

Ten days later, when Fang Yuan returned to Jiaxiang City again, the news finally came from the direction of Jinan Mansion that the Tartar soldiers had abandoned the plundered gold, silver, and population, and retreated to the north.

Fang Yuan was secretly ecstatic, the Tartar soldiers were in such a hurry, it seemed that the divisive letter really worked.

He hurriedly ordered Chigutai to gather the remaining Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, as well as Liang Min's two thousand brothers, and immediately killed Jinan City.

After the Jinan government once again confirmed that the Tartar soldiers had indeed withdrawn to the Gyeonggi area, they led the troops into the city and took over the looted people who were abandoned by the Tartars in the city of Jinan, as well as the gold, silver, and grain that were packed in the government and could be transported away in the future.

Chigutai counted the war booties, and there were more than 50,000 men, 200,000 taels of gold and silver, and 5,000 stones of grain.

Fang Yuan saw that this harvest was indeed not small, so he left 150,000 taels of gold and silver for the reward and bereavement of the sergeant of the Xuanjia Army. The remaining 50,000 taels were handed over to Liang Min, partly to compensate the orphans and families of the Qingfengshan brothers, and partly to be regarded as a reward for the Liangshan brothers' great help this time.

As for the 50,000 men, Fang Yuan ordered the Liangshan brothers to be temporarily placed in Jiaxiang City to wait for the post-war establishment.

Fang Yuan and Chigutai led a thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry to follow the retreating Tartar soldiers in pursuit, from the Shandong region to the Gyeonggi region, and then to Jizhen, until they chased out of Shanhaiguan and confirmed that the Manchu Tartars had indeed withdrawn, and then they were relieved.

Fang Yuan, Chigutai, and the Xuanjia Iron under their command rode straight in the wilderness, venting their inner ecstasy.

The blood, sweat, and tears of the past three months, the nearly 1,000 brothers of the Xuanjia Army who died in battle, and the 800 brothers of Qingfeng Mountain, all the sacrifices are just for today's victory!

"The Manchu Tartars have really retreated!"

"We've won!"

"Xuanjia Iron Horseman, invincible in the world!"

The cry of victory spread thousands of miles and was endless outside Shanhaiguan for a long time!
