Chapter 634: Withdrawal (2)
Zu Dashou is not a rude person who can't read a word, this epidemic has caused huge losses to both Ming and Jin, he knows that it must be because of the spread of the epidemic qi, if their people go to Jinzhou Ningyuan, it is very likely to bring the epidemic qi over, so that this scene in Daling River will reappear.
Although he is just a martial artist, Zu Dashou is more concerned about the interests of their Guanning army, if such a ferocious epidemic spreads, it will inevitably bring a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, further weaken the strength of the Ming army outside the Guan, and is not conducive to the development of the strength of the Guanning lineage.
But it is obviously not possible not to report the letter, so Zu Dashou decided to tell the truth of Dalinghe in detail, but only report to Jinzhou, to minimize the chance of the spread of the epidemic, and use letterhead to tell the details to Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and what to do is up to him.
......
When Dai Shan was instructing people to pack up their things, a cronie approached him, "Master, the Sunit Department has left Daling River." ”
"Yo, these bunnies, they're pretty fast." Dai Shan sighed, not disagreeing, and asked the person who came, "What's so strange about this, it's worth it for you to come and talk to me?" ”
He's a head three big now, and he's very busy.
Early in the morning, as soon as Dai Shan got up, he was approached by the personal guards of the Great Golden Khan, but he refused to explain what was going on, and only asked him to go to the Great Khan's camp.
After Dai Shan followed the people to Huang Taiji's camp, he realized that something earth-shattering had happened, Fan Wencheng was killed, Huang Taiji and Dolgon, both of them, had their knives in each other's throats, and they seemed to kill each other.
This is really incredible, although Huang Taiji has been suppressing the political Baylor and making them dissatisfied, but to say that Dolgon dared to kill the king, Dai Shan didn't believe it.
And also found that Huang Taiji had already used the seal, let Dolgon be responsible for the warrant for the withdrawal of the army, and half-written, unfinished, let Dolgon be the big Baylor's proposal, Dolgon just got power, and he turned his face and killed people with his backhand, which is unreasonable.
What is even more suspicious is that Dolgon is young and strong, and it is impossible to say that he would die at the hands of the seriously ill Huang Taiji.
However, judging from the scene, there are no traces of the footprints of the third person, which seems to indicate that this is the truth, which makes Dai Shan really at a loss.
However, finding out the truth in front of us is not the most urgent matter, the plague is raging, many people have died in Jianzhou Jurchen, and now there is no khan, once the news spreads, it is bound to be chaotic.
The top priority at the moment is to cover the news of Huang Taiji's death, and according to the order, withdraw the troops from the Daling River as soon as possible, even if the news is revealed on the way back, it will not give the Ming army a chance.
What gave Dai Shan a headache was that the Eight Banners Banner Master should have six people, but now there were only himself and Duoduo left.
Mang Gurtai had died of illness a day earlier, and the Blue Banner he was in charge of could be commanded by his younger brother Dege.
Huang Taiji's two yellow flags were unceremoniously temporarily taken under Dai Shan's command.
Azig has been out and about his fate and death, and his red flag can only be put in the hands of Duoduo first, so that he can evacuate in time, and then arrange for people to go and inform him.
Dorgon died, and the white flag had to be temporarily returned to Dord's control, so that Dordor alone held four flags and became the biggest winner.
It's not that Dai Shan doesn't want to take the opportunity to annex these two flags, unlike Huang Taiji's two yellow flags, these two people's own brother Duoduo is still there, and it is bound to be impossible to go so smoothly, how can he have time to grind his mouth now, so he can only arrange it like this first, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.
At the moment, he was about to deploy the retreat of the Three Banners alone, and it was the most hectic moment, and his cronies came to tell him that what was going on with the withdrawal of such an unknown small tribe as Sunit?
"Master." With a dissatisfied look on his face, his cronies leaned into Dai Shan's ear and said, "These guys are so bold that they can go by themselves, and they have abducted all the Han people who are in charge of supervising the work, do you want to send someone to chase them back?" ”
Abduction of Han Chinese? Dai Shanchu was also a little unhappy when he heard it, but after thinking about it, there are many Han people who died of illness, and the group of Han people who supervised Sunit will not exceed 10,000, and those who can really follow them are 2,000, so there is no need to mind.
If the Sunit Ministry wants these people, let them take them away, they don't have to be angry about this matter, and they don't need to send troops to ask for the guilt, they don't have time, and it's not worth it.
Dai Shan didn't know that Sunit's subordinates, including the Han people, were almost unharmed, and the number of people he lost was not 2,000, but nearly 10,000.
"Forget it, it's not necessary, so how about giving up some people to Sunit?" Dai Shan waved his hand, "What should you do, don't pestle here." ”
......
"Quick! Fast! Fast! "Someone kept urging.
The dirt road from the Daling River to the Azig camp was dusty, and a strange team of men and horses was hurrying away.
Many of them rode on horseback, with two or three women or children, and most of them were strong men on foot.
This team is the Sunit Department that has evacuated the Daling River, and the Han people who have been sharing weal and woe for a month.
The reason why he was in a hurry was that Zhiwen wanted to send the Han people safely to the camp before the rest of the Mongolian tribes were cleaned up, evacuated from the Daling River, and caught up with them.
The camp in Azig is well located to access the savannah by crossing the mountains to the west, without having to go north and return west, which many tribes will surely choose.
The Mongols really had nothing to pack, and they all had horses, and if they walked slowly, it would not be long before they were caught up by the Mongols.
It's not that I'm afraid of these Mongols, after this great plague, except for the rest of the Mongols of the Sunit Division, all of them combined, there will be no more than 8,000 people who can stand up, and those who have the strength to fight will not exceed 5,000 people, which is just the same as the current strength of the Sunit Division.
It's just that Zhiwen doesn't want to let go of these Mongolian people, in addition to not wanting to let the tiger return to the mountain, more importantly, these people must all have plague germs on them, and once they return to the grassland, it will be another plague outbreak.
Houjin has been defeated by the plague, and now that the goal has been achieved, Zhiwen does not want the plague to continue to run rampant and ruin the foundation of Zhuolu Trading Company outside the Saiwai.
These Mongolian people in Dalinghe, whether they are killed or subdued, are bound to not let them return to the grassland so quickly.
Once the Mongols who fled west were blocked, a fight would inevitably break out, which would be contrary to his original intention of protecting the Han people.
