Chapter 305: Burning the City

Ning Wan, the acting deputy general of the Manchukuo National Cultural Museum, came to comfort the wounded heart of the Great Khan Abahai when he heard the news.

"Great Khan, it's not that the three Taiji of Ji'er Harang are incompetent, but that the natives of the Iron Country are too cunning."

Abahailu smiled slightly bitterly and asked:

"Ning, how is Sakhalian and Yue Tuo's condition?"

"Back to the Great Khan, Morgen Daiqing got some pills called Shui Yang Dan when he was hunting in the Iron Country, and after taking them to the two Taiji, his condition has improved."

Abahai sighed imperceptibly.

Ning Wan took the opportunity to speak: "Great Khan, the three Taiji have done their best, and they must not be too blamed. Otherwise...... Otherwise, it will be the second defeat of Yongping. The last defeat of Yongping was blamed on Erbeile, and now there is no one to bear. ”

Abahai finally sighed deeply: "Alas! More than 2,000 soldiers, just gone. Wretch! ”

"Great Khan, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. Although our Manchukuo was defeated by the Shimen Waterway, it was defeated by Kuku, Tun and Zhangjiakou. The Shimen Waterway lost up to 2,500 soldiers before and after, and our Manchurian army in Kuku, Tun and Zhangjiakou captured 25,000 obedient Aha slaves, ten times the number of soldiers lost. It won't be long before these Aha are armored soldiers loyal to the Great Khan. ”

"Humph! Cowardly Mongols! One Zhushen soldier is worth ten Mongol soldiers, and I would rather have my 2,500 dead soldiers than 25,000 Ahha! ”

"Great Khan, the account can't be counted like this. Of the 2,500 soldiers lost by our Manchurian army, at most half were Zhushen soldiers, and the rest were Nikan and Mongol soldiers. ”

"The Nikan of the Daling River surrendered, the military spirit was still unstable, and the Great Khan was wise, and used the Nikan soldiers of the Daling River to deal with the Mongol soldiers on the steppe. Unexpectedly, when they met their fellow clans in the Iron Country, these Nikans were naturally unwilling to fight to the death, and the Nikan soldiers had always been unbearable, and the losses were larger, which was also expected. I still have more than 10,000 Linghe Nikans in Shenyang in Manchuria, and I will add them when I go back. ”

"On the other hand, the harvest of my Manchurian army this time, 25,000 Ahan Nai were selected after killing the strong people, and if it is calculated according to killing three and leaving one, it means that 100,000 Mongolian young and strong men have been removed; If it is calculated by feeding three people, it is the livelihood of 300,000 old and young women on the grassland. After this battle, the steppe will no longer have the power to resist, and will be left to the Great Khan to slowly rectify. ”

"In this way, the Long March of our Manchukuo is a great feat that has never been done before, which not only proclaims the prestige of our Manchukuo, but also sows the seeds for the Great Khan to dominate the steppe in the future."

Abahai couldn't help laughing, "Ning Style, aren't you deceiving yourself by saying that?" ”

Rather finish my straight voice; "Great Khan, the spirit of the army cannot be vented, and the military prestige must not be lost, it must be said so!"

Abahai only nodded in agreement.

"Ning Style, the red-coated cannon has been lost, what do you think next?"

After Ning Wan, I immediately replied: "In order to save the hearts of the army, the Great Khan should quickly attack the Ming Dynasty and make up for the losses!" I think that when I didn't have a red-coated cannon in Manchukuo, wouldn't I also go in and out of the Ming Realm like going in and out of a no-man's land? ”

Abahai shook his head slightly: "Ning style, you don't know anything about the military." This time is different from the past, now the army lacks food and grass, lacks horses, carries so many walking Ahha, without the red-coated cannon, it is impossible to attack the Ming Kingdom. ”

Ning finished talking eloquently: "Great Khan, the soldiers of the Eight Banners have nothing to gain from this expedition, so the Ming Kingdom must fight!" Otherwise, the morale of the army will be lost! ”

Ning Wan I continued: "Even if you can't do anything, you have to put on a posture of attacking the Ming State with all your might, how can the Ming State know that I don't have a red-coated cannon in Manchukuo?" What's more, the officials of the Ming State have always been strong internally and weak externally, as long as our 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers and Aha are placed along the Great Wall, they can force the Ming State to contribute money and even make peace with our Manchukuo! ”

Abahai approving: "Hmm...... It's a good strategy to build momentum and win without a fight. ”

Ning Wan saw that Abahai had adopted his own suggestion, so he went one step further and said; "If the Great Khan does not have the sincerity to attack the Ming Kingdom, he will not be able to let go of Daban's ascension to the city. Tumut is divided into two outposts, east and west, Kuku and Tun, and we captured 20,000 Ahabs, killed three and left one, which is 80,000 Dingkou and more than 300,000 people; The west post is a big plate to ascend to the city, not to mention that there are 50,000 Dingkou and 200,000 people. Such a population and property must not be left behind, otherwise there will be endless troubles! ”

Abahai nodded, and said to himself: "To loot the city of Dabansheng, you must not use the Mongol army of Azig, they are of the same race and clan, and they will show mercy to the sword; The three flags of the Eight Banners, namely the red, the red, and the inlaid blue, have no power to fight again, and only the five flags of the Zhenglan Flag, the two Yellow Flags, and the two White Flags are left, and they have to make a posture of attacking the Ming Kingdom, and they can only send two flags at most to loot the big board and raise the ......"

Ning Wan interrupted Abahai's train of thought, "Great Khan, the two banners are enough!" Those bandits of the Iron Country are nothing more than using natural danger to stop my Eight Banners Force; Dabansheng City is located in the hinterland of the grassland, and there is no danger to defend at all. My Eight Banners soldiers are invincible in the field and can advance and retreat freely on the grassland. If the bandits of the Iron Land do not dare to attack, our two banners will be plundered and returned to the division; If the bandits of the Iron Land dare to attack, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop! ”

Abahai glanced at Ning Wan me unhappily, and said in his heart: "What do you know! ”

Abahai's calculation in his heart was who to send to fight in Daban Shengcheng. Two flags were sent out of the five flags of Zhenglan Flag, Two Yellow Flags, and Two White Flags, and only three flags remained. It is not permissible to leave two white flags at the same time, in that case, the two white flags, which are already numerous, plus the Mongol army of Azig, will be the only one, so the two white flags must send one flag; Among the two flags in the battle, the white flag accounts for one, and the remaining flag must not be the Zhenglan flag, otherwise the Zhenglan flag of Mang Gurtai will have the opportunity to communicate privately with the two white flags of the three brothers; In this way, the two flags that will be fought must be two white flags accounting for one and two yellow flags accounting for one.

If the two yellow flags account for one, it must be the yellow flag of Haoge Lingzheng;

Two white flags account for one, if you send Duoer red collar and white flag to fight, Haoge is twenty-four years old this year, Duoer Hong is twenty-one years old, Haoge is three years older than Duoerhong, but Duoer Hong is a generation older than Haoge, and Duoer Red is brilliant and resourceful, no matter who is in charge of the two, the other person will not be convinced.

Only Pai Duoduo collar with a white flag to fight. Duoduo is only nineteen years old, with no ambitions and no national affairs, so that the two flags can be handsome.

The plan has been decided, and Abahai's mood has calmed down a lot. At that moment, Abahai decided not to wait for a day, and if he delayed for one more day, his morale would drop a little more, and the army would leave Kuku and Tun tomorrow.

On the eighth day of June, before the Manchurian army started, the Great Khan of Manchukuo summoned important figures from all sides of the Tumut party one after another.

Abahai was the first to meet two lesser-known chieftains of Tumut, one named "Gollum" (also known as Gulug) and the other as "Ngurgao".

These two small Tumut chieftains performed well in the cities of Kuku and Tuntu on the fifth day of the sixth month, and actively sided with the Manchurian army, which is heartily commendable.

Abahai cordially encouraged the two of them, pointing out that both of them are pillars of talent, and they will both be figures in governing the country and securing the country in the future.

Gollum Hiccup immediately bowed to Abahai three times and asked to accompany Abahai to Shenyang for allegiance.

Abahai replied to Gollum's request with a spring breeze on his face, "After the army is gone, you will assist Omubu well." Since the Manchurian army can come this time, is there any reason why it will not come next time? ”

Abahai then met with a lama named "Porhu" (also known as Buhu).

The Porhu Lama devoted himself to his cultivation at the Silver Buddha Temple, and was forced to inform the Manchurian soldiers several times of the movements of the Omubu Hongtaiji.

Abahai praised the Porhu Lama for having a Buddha heart and a Buddha image, and he will achieve positive results in the future; The Porhu Lama expressed his gratitude to the Great Khan of Manchukuo for sending troops to protect the Silver Buddha Temple.

Abahai ordered the three of them to stand aside and summoned the prince of Tumut, Omubu Hongtaiji.

In a few days, Omubu seemed to be ten years old, and his steps were heavy, and he barely made a salute to Abahai.

Abahai asked with concern: "Is Lama Omubu sick?" ”

Omubu looked blankly at Abahai and asked, "Why?" Tumut had surrendered to the Great Khan with men, so why did the Great Khan treat his people like this? ”

Abahai spread his hands and replied innocently: "I don't want to do this either." A handful of Diao people rebelled in Kuku and Tun, and also attacked the Silver Buddha Temple, and I had to do this. ”

Omubu shook his head repeatedly, "What about those people on the grassland? They had never attacked the Silver Buddha Temple! ”

Abahai's face immediately sank, and Zhengse said: "Since Tumut has surrendered to Manchukuo with people, Tumut's people are my people, and I discipline my people, is there anything wrong?" Couldn't I, the Great Khan of Manchukuo, control my own people? Am I the Great Khan of Manchukuo who cares about his own people and is inferior to others? ”

Omubu lowered his head, speechless.

Abahai's tone slowed down, and he said: "Lama Ombu is dedicated to the Buddha, and he can't kill living beings, and he offended me with impulsive words, I don't blame you this time, but there must be no next time." The monks don't ask about worldly things, so Lama Omubu still has to practice more. ”

Abahai turned to Porhu Lama, "Pass on my message: In the future, all lamas on the grassland will devote themselves to cultivating Buddhism, and they will not be bad, pay taxes, or join the army!" ”

The porhu lama replied, "Thank you, Great Khan! ”

Abahai then said, "Porhu Lama, in the future, you should assist Lama Ombu to meditate and achieve positive results, and you will be the Chiba of the Silver Buddha Temple." ”

"Chiba" is in charge of all religious activities and affairs of the whole temple, are highly respected monks, such as the Silver Buddha Temple, such a big call, that is not the living Buddha can not be competent.

The Porhu Lama immediately exclaimed: "The Great Khan must not! ”

Immediately the Abba Sea sank like water.

Ignoring Abahai's displeasure, the porhu lama painstakingly stated his reasons for not being able to serve as a tripa.

The grunt on the side suggested: "Great Khan, it is better to crown the porphyry lama as the Tsoqin Xia Ao of the Silver Buddha Temple." Tsochen Xia Ao is responsible for enforcing the rules and precepts and is in charge of the monastery's monastery discipline picket. ”

Abahai listened, and said, "That's fine! Porhu Lama is not allowed to shirk anymore! ’

The Porhu Lama had no choice but to accept it.

Abahai turned his head to Gollum and grunt, and his tone was very stern: "You two must take responsibility and not let Omubu be distracted in your practice. It is bounded by Kuku and Tun, east of Kuku and Tun, and is led by Gollum. To the west of Kuku and Tun, it was led by the Ngoo. After the Manchurian army withdraws, you must gather the people, serve the Russian cloth with peace of mind, everything is the same, if there is a mistake, the next time the Manchurian army comes back, it will not be spared. ”

Gollum was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to thank him: "Gollum will definitely live up to the Great Khan's trust!" ”

He hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed in thanksgiving.

It was only at this moment that Abahai revised the dividing line: "Kuku and Tuncheng should not be divided, and the two of you will be bounded by the western wall of Kuku and Tun." The west of the West Wall is under the Gollum Commander, and the east of the West Wall is all under the Gollum Gollum! ”

Grunt Shane's head hadn't finished knocking yet, and his forehead hit the ground with a thumping sound when he heard this.

Abahai smiled and waved his hand: "Go down!" ”

Omubu Hongtaiji was so angry that his legs trembled, and he couldn't take a step for a long time.

Gollum stepped forward with great gratitude, and together with the Porhu Lama, he supported Omubu and retreated.

On the 8th day of the first month of June, the Manchurian army set out from Kuku and Tuncheng and camped on a mountain 30 miles south of the city.

The legend of the Great Khan: The corpses in Kuku and Tuncheng are rotting, and the weather is hot and the plague is afraid. In order to protect the people, the city must be burned against fire, and not a single house shall be left!

Kuku and Tun, Mongolian language "blue city", the Ming Dynasty gave the name "naturalization city", the people affectionately called "three ladies city", under the order of the Great Khan turned into a city full of flames, smoke and dust directly covered the lonely silver Buddha temple in the south of the city.

The fire burned all night.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, Kuku and Tuncheng disappeared from history.

On the ninth day of the sixth month, this day, like the third day of the sixth month, is not recorded in the "Manchu Old Files".

According to Tumut's written records, after the Manchurian soldiers left, Ombu Hongtaiji gathered the people, and only 3,300 dings were obtained, which were compiled into 30 sumu. In order to make up the 60 sumu before the war, Omubu ordered: No matter who you are, as long as you can get together 150 dings regardless of race, you can be organized into a sumu and serve as the leader of the sumu.
