Chapter 510: Rainbow Six
Chapter 510: Rainbow Six
After sending Luo Kai away, Zhang Zhun immediately issued an order to inform the whole army to forgive the sin of a head, and if a rebel arrives with a Tartar head, no matter what he has done before, he can be forgiven. If there were more heads, they were to be paid at the price of fifty taels of silver. In other words, the Tiger Army opened the door to the rebels.
However, no matter who the other party is, if they want to join the Tiger Army, they will not accept it. They can only restore their status as civilians and live honestly in the fields. Luo Kai's worries are indeed right, for these people who first surrendered to the Tartars, and now come over from the Tartars anyway, Zhang Zhun is not ready to use them. At the very least, not ready for mass use. Unless the other party is talented and belongs to the ranks of passive surrender.
After the order was issued, it caused some slight waves. Many people feel that Zhang Zhun is too merciful to these rebels, and actually gave the rebels a chance to mend their ways. Some rebels, worse than the Tartars. For such rebels, they must be exterminated and their heads must be hung on flagpoles for public display. How can you let them go for nothing?
However, more people agreed with Zhang Zhun's order. Some people also praised Zhang Zhun for his long-term strategic vision. In particular, Zhang Shenyan and others are deeply concerned about Zhang Zhun's policy. This is the best way to deal with the Tartars. Gather all the forces that can be gathered, constantly weaken the strength of the Tartars, and eventually lead to the downfall of the Tartars.
In the eyes of Zhang Shenyan and others, the essence of this order is to kill people with a knife. Whether you kill a rebel with a Tartar's knife or a rebel with a rebel's knife, the effect is the same. No matter who is killed, for the Tiger Army, it is only good, there is no harm. It's better to lose both sides and end up together.
As for what kind of reaction the Tartars will have after learning of this order from Zhang Zhun, it is unknown. However, information was sent that the Tartars had declared martial law in Jinzhouwei and Fuzhouwei, and that the rebel camps had also been on heightened vigilance. The rebels originally stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang also had slight adjustments to their camps. Unfortunately, in the days that followed, no more rebels had defected with the Tartar heads.
Of course, Zhang Zhun was not in a hurry at all. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will have to wait a while before they can take root. However, once the seeds are planted, there will be a harvest. It's as if the Tartars have successfully harvested Yuan Chonghuan, and the Tiger Benjun doesn't know what kind of gift he will receive. It's all about time.
"My lord, here's information from Rainbow Six."
On the third day after Zhang Zhun came to Huangcheng Island, someone from the Maoyan Division hurriedly sent top-secret information. The information was sealed in a very tight wax pill, the size of the tip of the tail finger.
"Rainbow Six has come to inform?"
Zhang Zhun's expression was obviously a little strange, and then he recovered, let the people from the Maoyan Division leave first, and subconsciously looked around him, and then slowly reviewed the information.
It was very necessary for him to act so cautiously. Because, Rainbow No. 6 is Ma Yi's code name. Such a code name, except for Zhang Zhun, in this era, absolutely no one else can think of it. It is simply impossible for the Tartars to want to impersonate. However, the place where Ma Yi lurked was in Shenyang, the Tartar's lair. Any inadvertent move by him may lead to Ma Yi's death.
If you calculate the time, you will find that Ma Yi has been going to Liaodong for several months. This was the first piece of information he sent. Zhang Zhun did have some expectations for this information, and he didn't know what Ma Yi's situation was over there. Thinking about it now, Zhang Zhun still feels that his original decision was of a strong adventurous nature. As long as Ma Yi hesitates slightly, Zhang Zhun may cancel Ma Yi's trip to Liaodong. However, Ma Yi bravely undertook this dangerous task, and Zhang Zhuncai made up his mind to set up an intelligence network in Liaodong.
Zhang Zhun carefully crushed the wax pill and pulled out a blank note from inside. There was no text on the note. However, when the brigadier placed the note on the lamp and baked it gently, fine handwriting appeared on the white paper.
"Good!"
"Well done!"
"This Ma Yi is really the material for doing big things!"
After reading the information, Zhang Zhun rubbed his palms excitedly and paced back and forth in the living room.
The information sent by Ma Yi was about the upper echelons of the Tartars. For the time being, I don't know how Ma Yi found out the information about the upper layer of the Tartars. However, the information sent by Ma Yi this time is indeed very valuable. Because, this information directly involves the core high-level inside the Tartars. They are the main figures who will determine the future direction of the Tartars.
The internal chaos of the Tartars, the controversy is very large, the differences are very big, and the emperor Taiji may have big moves, this is the main content of the information sent by Ma Yi.
The news of the defeat of Huangxian reached Shenyang, and the inside of the Tartars was suddenly chaotic. Despite the rumors outside, as the highest figures of the Tartars, they still accurately grasped the number of casualties of the positive white flag and the inlaid white flag through their own channels. However, after learning the real situation of the battle, they preferred to believe the rumors rather than believe that it was all true.
The death of the Dajin army, which was close to 5,000, was like a thunderbolt from the sky, smashing on the heads of all the slave chiefs. Such a loss is unprecedented in the Daejin Kingdom so far. Even, since the Seven Hatreds rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the total number of Tartars killed in all battles is probably not much different from this number. The two invasions of the Tartars resulted in only a few hundred casualties. Counting the number of deaths alone, there may be only three or four hundred. And the entire Niulu army was wiped out unprecedentedly.
The white flag and the inlaid white flag lost so many warriors that it was simply annihilated. In less than twenty years, both the positive white flag and the inlaid white flag can not rely on their own strength to replenish the lost population. In other words, in at least ten years, two of the eight table legs of the Dajin Kingdom have been suspended. This eight-legged table will not be in danger of collapsing for the time being, but it is not as stable as before.
It is conceivable that these news have a great impact on the slave chiefs. It is not surprising that there will be huge disagreements and controversies among the slave chiefs. Huang Taiji's ascension to the throne was originally full of controversy, and there were many people within the Tartar who were not convinced. Now, the Tartars have suffered such heavy losses, and some of the slave chiefs can't help but think that the leadership of Huang Taiji is incompetent. Dorgon and Duoduo are certainly responsible, and the responsibility of Emperor Taiji is equally great. In Nurhachi's time, the Tartars had never suffered such heavy losses.
According to Ma Yi's intelligence, at present, the Tartars are mainly divided into two opinions.
The first, led by Hauge, is a strong vindictive.
They clamored for immediate retaliation, and carried out the maximum retaliation against the Ming Kingdom. Haoge shouted that he would immediately raise troops, bypass the Guanning defense line, go directly south from the Great Wall, and then make an expedition to Shandong to defeat Zhang Zhun and the Huben army. If possible, he will also defeat the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom halfway.
As the eldest son favored by Huang Taiji, Haoge has been above the top since he was a child, and ordinary people don't pay attention to it at all. This time, Hauge made an expedition to the city of Naturalization and successfully subjugated the Mongolian steppes. In terms of military exploits, it is indeed worthy of special mention, as long as Dorgon's military exploits do not exceed his. Now, Dolgon was defeated, Hauge was victorious, and the two were compared, and Hauge's exploits were even more dazzling.
During the expedition to the Mongolian steppes, Hauge clearly did not feel satisfied. Although Lin Dan Khan claims to be the descendant of the Golden Family, he actually does not have many assets. The Mongols had long since split into many large and small tribes, and Lin Dan Khan was only a large tribal leader. During this battle, Hauge captured several widows of Lin Dan Khan and thought that their appearance was okay, so he brought them back and gave them to Huang Taiji, including Namu Zhong and Batma. Therefore, Haoge was even more favored by Huang Taiji.
With the pride of conquering the Mongolian steppes, Hauge wanted to take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the Ming Kingdom. In the past attack, Hauge was not a manager because he was not qualified enough. This time, however, Hauge is qualified enough to be the manager. Therefore, Hauge is determined to establish immortal feats and make everyone around him admire him. Haoge not only wanted to eliminate Zhang Zhun and his Tiger Army, but also wanted to directly defeat the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, especially the latter.
In any way, the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom was much richer than Lin Dan Khan's Naturalized City. The gold, silver, and women in it are incomparable to a hundred naturalized cities. As long as the Jingshi is conquered and the money and beauties inside are taken away, the Tartar can enjoy Qingfu for at least a few years. Moreover, the Jingshi who conquered the Ming Kingdom was equivalent to directly announcing the destruction of the Ming Kingdom. Nurhachi's seven hatreds have finally been realized.
Hauge's clamor was in line with the psychology of most slave chiefs. In the past, the Tartars carried out a policy of shooting the first bird in the face of the Ming Dynasty's struggle. As long as you dare to resist, the Tartars will be willing to destroy you at a certain price. According to Tatar, the interior of the Ming Kingdom has rotted, and there are only a few remaining nails, which are still barely supporting the Ming Kingdom. As long as the Tartars remove these nails, the broken ship of the Ming Kingdom will be completely sunk.
For example, Zhao rate taught. At the beginning, in Zunhua, the Ming army led by Zhao led by Zhao led a resolute resistance. As a result, after Zunhua was breached, the Tartars slaughtered the city and killed all the subordinates of Zhao Shujiao. At the time of the second invasion, Yan Shengdou, the governor of Baozhou, actively organized military and civilian resistance, and as a result, Baoan Prefecture was also slaughtered by the Tartars, and Yan Shengdou's body was destroyed.
According to the strategy of the Tartars, as long as the ministers or generals of the Ming army who dared to resist were killed, the remaining Ming army generals, or senior officials of the Ming state, had no possibility of resisting. When the time comes, the Tartars will enter and exit the Ming Dynasty and abroad, as if they have entered a no-man's land. In this way, more supplies can be looted smoothly. At that time, the Tartars only had the idea of simple looting, and had no intention of entering the Central Plains. Even the most arrogant Haoge, the Jingshi who hoped to conquer the Ming Kingdom, just wanted to snatch money and beauties.
In fact, the strategy of the Tartars has indeed achieved excellent results. After many blows from the Tartars, those generals who had flesh, courage, courage, and the ability to resist the Tartars were almost wiped out. Many of the remaining generals of the Ming army are basically old turtles and old slippery heads. In the face of the attack of the Tartars, he did not dare to take the initiative to face the battle, for fear that he would become the target of the Tartars' key blows. The result is naturally that the Tartars come as freely as they want. Daming Kingdom is like an unguarded chicken coop, anyone can reach in and pinch it.
When the Tartars entered the Kou for the second time, the weak side of the Ming Kingdom was completely exposed. No generals of the Ming army, or high-ranking officials from all over the country, dared to take the initiative to resist the attack of the Tartars. Those high-ranking governors, governors, governors, eunuchs and the like have all become shrunken turtles, and they do not dare to take the slightest initiative to attack the people of their own jurisdiction, being ravaged by the Tartars in every way.
However, just when Tartar was secretly congratulating on the success of his strategy, Ming Guo suddenly came up with a Zhang Zhun. I learned from the intelligence department that this Zhang Zhun had killed a lot of Tartars before Huang County. Therefore, it can be assumed that this person and the Tartar must have a common enmity. For such a person, it can only be eliminated from the **. Otherwise, it is highly likely that any other approach will be futile.
Huang Taiji thinks a little longer. Now the interior of the Ming State is also in chaos, with a large number of peasant armies trying to overthrow the Ming court. This Zhang Zhun seems to be a part of it, and he is the rumored 37th Route rebel. The suppression of domestic unrest by the Ming court was quite ineffective. For Zhang Zhun's suppression, it was a fiasco.
Huang Taiji didn't study much history, but he also knew that once the Ming Kingdom changed the imperial court, it would be absolutely impossible for the Tartars to want to loot so unscrupulously. And at present, it seems that this Zhang Zhun is a more terrible way in the anti-army. With Zhang Zhun's current strength, he can make the elite Tartars suffer a big loss, and in time, what will it do? Huang Taiji was very clear about Dorgon's talent. Even Dolgon is not Zhang Zhun's opponent, if he doesn't get rid of this Zhang Zhun in time, God knows what will happen in the future.
"Get rid of Zhang Zhun!"
"Completely wipe out the Tiger Army!"
This is the main slogan shouted by the main battle faction led by Hauge.
The second type is the Lord's Peace faction headed by Azig.
Azig is a brother to Dolgon, Dordot and others, but he is slightly older. At the same time, it did not have the deep patience of Dolgon, nor the youthful vigor of Dordor, and he was indomitable, so he was relatively unknown among the three brothers. But obscurity doesn't mean he doesn't have his own opinions.
Unlike Hauge's aggressiveness, Azig euphemistically said that in addition to war, other methods could be taken to solve the dilemma of Dengzhou City. Because, Azig knew that Zhang Zhun was also persona non grata in the Ming Kingdom. With the idea that the enemy of his enemy is his ally, Azig believed that there was another way to get Dolgon and Duoduo, as well as the rest of the Great Golden Army warriors, back. The implication of this alternative method is to negotiate, to replace people, or to ransom people with money.
Actually, going around and around, Azig meant nothing more than to rescue Dorgon and Dodor first. As for what kind of way to go to Zhang Zhun for trouble and revenge in the future, that will be a matter for the future. As long as Dolgon, Duoduo and the others can evacuate Dengzhou City and return to Liaodong, the Tartars will no longer have any scruples, and they can toss as much as they want.
Liu Ru asked with some confusion: "Master, why is it that the main battle is not Azig, but Huang Taiji and Haoge?" It stands to reason that the one who is most concerned about the safety of Dorgon and Dorgor should be Azig! Emperor Taiji and Hauge both longed for Dolgon and Duoduo to disappear forever. The current situation, as if Huang Taiji and Hauge, are much more active than Azig. ”
Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "This is politics. ”
Seeing Liu Ru's curious body, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Huang Taiji wants to try his best to shape his image and show that he is a tolerant monarch." Therefore, he must not die for Dorgon and Dord. However, he definitely didn't really want to rescue Dorgon and Dord. Such a loud clamor of retaliation is undoubtedly for others to see. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Tartars, after tasting the sweetness last year, are ready to come back this year to loot the general. Well, there's also the possibility of putting pressure on me to release Dorgon and Dord. ”
Azig was concerned about the safety of his own brother's life. The actions of Huang Taiji and Haoge are certainly huge and inspiring, but it takes a while for the army to fight, from preparation to action. It's that after the Tartars entered the Great Wall, everything went well, and it is difficult to say whether Dorgon and Dorgon and Duoduo would be able to support it until that time. Azig was clearly aware of this, so he suggested a special way to rescue Dorgon and Dodor first. As long as his brother withdraws first, everything else is easy to say. Even if the two flag owners are lost, as long as the green mountains are left, there is no worry about running out of firewood. ”
Liu Ru said suspiciously: "So, what kind of action will the Tartar take?" ”
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Of course, it is mainly Huang Taiji and Haoge now. ”
Liu Ru said with some worry: "That...... Isn't the defense line of the northern kingdom dangerous again? ”
Zhang Zhun nodded with a gloomy face, and said word by word: "Exactly." ”
Liu Ru couldn't help but look in the direction of the northern country.
If the Tartars really enter the Kou in the next few months, will the Ming army's defense line in the northern kingdom be able to withstand the Tartars' third invasion?
Liu Ru is very unconfident.
Zhang Zhun also has no confidence.
