Chapter 300: The Battle (36)

After the outpost battle began, Abatai did not hesitate, and under his military order, the entire army began to set up camp around dawn, and the target was Dezhou and Zhu Dadian's headquarters in front.

Abatai had long been holding back to fight this battle, although Dorgon's order was to move with the camera, and if the status quo could be maintained, it would be maintained, and when Duoduo freed up his hands, Shandong and Henan would work together to completely eliminate the Ming Dynasty in a year.

But at this time, Abatai can't wait!

At least in this Shandong land, the father and son are decided!

Even if the Ming army's sentinel scout cavalry showed a little blood and bravery, even if there were two short firearms that were different from the past...... In the end, it's not a big deal!

The whole army began to move southward, and under the banner of the king of Chijin, there were the banners of each clan, the Gushan Ezhen banner, and the Mele Zhangjing banner...... Everywhere there were fluttering flags and knights on horses.

Almost all the soldiers of the whole army have horses, and the attendants with horses take care of the armor and weapons of the soldiers, are responsible for taking care of the horses, and even receive food and prepare for war...... Although many followers were in the Qing military system, more gains came from cooperation with soldiers.

After the battle, when plundering people's property and collecting gold and silver treasures, the role of soldiers is not as great as on the battlefield.

After going off the battlefield, the performance of the followers was no worse than that of the soldiers.

Even many times, it is more ruthless than the soldiers, after all, their salary and silver rewards are limited, in addition to a piece of money and food, the Eight Banners soldiers also reward the flag fields around Yanjing City, everyone divides the fields according to their ranks, the fields of the princes and nobles can not be finished in a day, and the ordinary generals also have a large number of fields to give down, the inner city of the capital, they also have the mansions from the Ming Dynasty...... The morale of the Qing army was undoubtedly extremely high at this time.

They have robbed the wealth and land of the Ming people, the houses and women, and now they are going south to rob more, such a thing, it is delicious to do, and the danger is small, everyone's face is full of real smiles, no matter how barbaric and cruel the Tunguska people are, there are also wives and children, and there are many people who have a reserved and satisfied smile on their stiff and scarred faces...... It's time to fight again, take Dezhou, Jinan, and sweep the cities of Shandong, and the people of the Ming Kingdom are very rich.

"Jinan told us to grab it once, and the oil and water won't be too big."

A middle-aged flag soldier with a full face is teaching his companions: "Texas, Texas is their north-south artery, during the Tiancong period, I followed the Nine Kings into the customs, this Texas is the heavy defense of the Ming Kingdom, the Nine Kings have never hit it, and they have made a detour to beat Jinan." Don't you know how rich this Jinan is! ”

This Qing army is a white armor, and this time it should be transferred from the battalion.

Several large armies are moving, the Manchu 60,000 men must have been converted into the army at this time, and the army must have sent out all the Sauron soldiers and Oroqen soldiers, and when Abatai went south, the main force of the Han army was all taken away by Azig and Duoduo respectively, and Dolgon had no choice but to weaken the defense of the capital division...... This is also really cheap, in addition to his own headquarters, Dolgonga sent the real elite who were selected into the three battalions of the Protector, the Horseman, and the Forward.

After all, after the two-way army drove out, the elite soldiers who stayed in Beijing must be the elite soldiers who guarded the fundamental land, and this time they were sent to Shandong because the situation had changed.

Bai Jia, who had followed Huang Taiji and Dolgon several times into the customs, was still spitting and boasting: "Most of the people of the Ming Kingdom who can live in the city are a little wealthy, and they usually use heavy objects against the courtyard gate, thinking that this will prevent people from entering...... Haha, that's funny. We climbed over the wall and drank all their men out...... In order to save their lives, they must have come out honestly. Then we told them to stand at the wall of the courtyard, and when we had found them, we would kill them all the young and old, and then we would eat the women first, and then slowly loot the goods...... In this way, it is more than taking a few or a dozen houses for more money than taking a few houses. Back then, I followed the Nine Kings into the customs, and there was no need to mention the silver, there were several Aha coats, dozens of gold and silver jewelry, and the mother-in-law at home was happy like something......"

This mouthful boasted like a river, causing the young flag soldiers around him to have straight eyes and swallow saliva. If what this guy said is true, this time he really wants to earn his wife's capital.

Although Houjin has broken away from the surname of the bandit group and has begun to look like a country, he still does not get rid of the bandit's original surname.

These young banner men in front of them, from the assessment once every few years, have fought their way out of the encirclement and become an armored infantry or vest, and now of course they are not desperate for a few taels of silver and a few liters of old rice, like them, who have no military merits, and the land they get is limited, and if they want to live a good life, they can only plunder from the war!

This military merit system also ensured the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army in the early Qing Dynasty, and the centripetal force was not only applicable to the Eight Banners, but also to the surrendered Ming army.

When those green battalion soldiers served the Ming Dynasty, they had no military discipline or salary, no sense of honor, and no combat effectiveness at all.

After joining the camp of the Qing army, the rewards and punishments are clear, and you can get official rewards through military merits, and most importantly, you can also get wealth from war and killing.

Although they will also loot on the side of the Ming Dynasty, it is always illegal, after turning to the new dynasty, looting and killing are legal and meritorious, so these bastards burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness after surrendering, and they are basically the same as before, and the most important reason is this.

Listening to the words of the seniors of this escort battalion, not only the Eight Banners New Army present were really envious, but even those Sauron soldiers were really hot. They did not expect military merits to be conferred official positions or land, in the eyes of the Han people they were the same alien soldiers, and in the eyes of the real Manchurian soldiers, they were inferior slave soldiers.

But in terms of robbery, they are equal, listening to the words of this Eight Banners, the Sauron people who understand Manchu are also translating for their companions, and in the end, these people who are also enslaved, and the people who were forcibly taken out of their hometown land by the Eight Banners, also showed a strong killing aura in their eyes.

Killing, bringing honor, merit; Killing, bringing wealth, land, women.

"I'm afraid Basha Tiger is bragging, right?" A recruit with a white flag asked softly: "The men of the Ming Kingdom are so honest, let you line up to cut it?" ”

He is the banner soldier of Hetuala, just twenty-one years old, and has been in the customs before, first as a flag soldier, and just selected as a step soldier in the second half of this year, and then he was transferred south.

Prior to this, this flag soldier had not participated in a single war, which was rare among the Eight Banner soldiers.

There are too few men in this small tribe, and many wars have to send men from all flags to participate in the war, and the Han people's clothed Aha pushes carts, transports military supplies and food, and works as coolies, while the men under its banner are servants, doing some war auxiliary work.

If there is a serious shortage of troops, they can also be temporarily transferred to battle, like these new bannermen from the far reaches of the Guannai, which is the result of the latest round of troop recruitment.

In order to swallow the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty in one bite and obtain the most incredible war dividends in history, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty did take their last breath.

"The Basha Tiger didn't brag, Feiyangu boy." Before the white-armored protector could reply, one of the white-flaged Bashiku in the team patted his waist knife and replied: "This knife has killed at least a hundred barbarians, but no more than ten have died under this knife in a fight with me." ”

This Bashiku is also in the military camp, his hair and beard are a little gray, and he is at least about sixty years old.

"Listen, listen!" Bashahu was very proud, and said to the questioning young flag soldier: "What the old man must say is credible, right?" Listen to us right, the Ming people are cowardly, and the army is a waste without artillery and city walls...... As long as you are careful of the personal soldiers and family members they will lead, those people can still fight a dozen...... Except for meeting the general's relatives and soldiers, otherwise, you kid will wait to go home with gold and silver treasures to marry a wife! ”

"Hehe, of course that's good."

"I heard that Jiangnan is the real rich place, and there is silk and gold and silver everywhere."

"I heard that the woman is also good-looking in Jiangnan."

"Delicate, what's so good? Or our Manchurian women are simple and capable, can run the house, and the women of the Southern Barbarians, just play around...... We are not big officials, and we can't afford to raise a little wife. ”

"It's just that it's still a big-footed woman who looks good."

"Uh-huh......"

As with all men's conversations, at the end of the day, it comes down to the woman.

Similar conversations arose one after another in the ranks of the Qing army, which was like a long line. It's not that the military discipline of the Qing army is not good, in fact, as long as there is an order from above, the buzzing wave below can be stopped at once, and no one will say it again.

But Abatai and the generals of the Qing army at all levels would not do this, and before this kind of big war, ask the veterans to preach the benefits of the war, use examples to move people's hearts, and constantly raise the morale of the whole team...... At this time, the Qing army was a group of beast soldiers, from north to south, in addition to paying attention to military discipline when they first entered the customs, and did not casually burn and plunder, in the various battles in the south, especially from north to south, with the increase of wealth in the battlefield, the intensity of burning and plundering is also constantly increasing.

From Sichuan to Jiangnan, to Fujian, from Quanzhou to Guangzhou, the massacre and plundering of the city have never stopped, and it is not just Yangzhou or Jiading.

This bloody history of massacre, due to the very exquisite use of the Qing Dynasty's self-taught literary prison, many tragic realities have been annihilated in the long river of history......
