Chapter 30: The sacking of Zhangjiakou
Tan Feng annihilated tens of thousands of Mongol troops this time, which can be regarded as a complete conquest of this Chahar area, and even the entire Eastern Mongolia region. The rest of the Eastern Mongolia region www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is like the walnut that has been crushed, and Tan Feng can taste the walnut flesh in this walnut to his heart's content. However, Tan Feng still has his own ideas at present, that is, there are more benefits in the future.
"Xu Qifeng, you take the reinforcement company and escort these Mongolian strong men back, and Jingwen and I will go to ransack Zhangjiakou!" Tan Feng said.
Tan Feng took Wang Jingwen and his two cavalry regiments to continue the detailed pursuit all the way. Along the way, they ignored the fleeing Mongols, as their target was Zhangjiakou. Perhaps later generations thought that Zhangjiakou was a prefecture-level city in Hebei Province, but in the Qing Dynasty, Zhangjiakou was not actually a prefecture-level city, it was just at the junction of Hebei Province and Mongolia. Zhangjiakou is actually even a place where Hu people are the main people.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty set up an official position in Zhangjiakou called the Chahar Governor, who was responsible for commanding the Chahar Eight Banners. However, Tan Feng wanted to pull out his teeth this time and go directly to ransack Zhangjiakou once.
Zhangjiakou, Li Rongbao, the Manchu governor of Zhangjiakou here, has been receiving many defeated and scattered Mongols for 12 hours. It's also incredible that this Li Rongbao heard it, this 10,000 Mongols were actually defeated by 1,000 Han people and horse thieves?
If it weren't for the fact that hundreds of Mongol defeated soldiers were defeated in a row, Li Rongbao would not have dared to believe this fact at all.
Li Rongbao is not a Han Chinese, he is a banner man. He was the banner man of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the yellow flag, and his surname was Fucha, which was a very important surname of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. His elder brother Ma Qi is now the prime minister of the Yongzheng Emperor, and is one of the four important ministers. Their Fucha clan has been favored by the emperor for generations, although his status is not very high, he is the head of Chahar of Sanpin. His two elder brothers were also important ministers of the imperial court, so he had to avoid suspicion.
But this time, more than 10,000 Mongols were defeated by 1,000 Han Chinese horse thieves, which made him feel that this was simply a historical joke. Since ancient times, the Mongols have been nomadic people, and their cavalry is more powerful than that of the Manchus. Many people think that the Manchus were nomads, but in fact, the Manchus were not mainly nomads, and the type of army that the Manchus relied on for their survival was heavy infantry, not cavalry. In fact, the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty mainly came from Mongolia, and it was easy to be confused because of the unity of Manchu and Mongolia.
But as an insider, of course he felt strange, ten times the Mongols actually lost to the Han cavalry ten times less than himself, are you kidding? But reality is no joke, hundreds of routs don't joke at the same time.
"Urgent mail immediately, send it to the emperor! These Mongol routs actually said that their leader died suddenly, and their troops were inexplicably defeated? It's a pity that these Mongol routs don't have a clear idea of the battle situation, otherwise I would like to know how this group of Han people can defeat ten times the Mongols. Li Rongbao thought.
After all, these Mongolian defeated soldiers were not at a high level of education and combat literacy, and they could not explain the battle situation clearly, which made Li Rongbao confused, and he didn't know what was going on here. However, since there was a force of 1,000 Han horse thieves who defeated ten times the Mongols, this was also earth-shattering news, and it was quickly sent to the emperor.
"Ready to send ......"
But at this time, someone suddenly ran in and shouted, "Lord Li, it's not good! My lord, oh no, there is a group of Han horse thieves outside, and they are starting to rush in! ”
"What?" Li Rongbao exclaimed.
Wang Jingwen, a female knight under Tan Feng, held the command flag and directly commanded the cavalry units of the two regiments to attack Zhangjiakou. Zhangjiakou is actually not strictly defended, especially in the Mongolian direction. Because since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the northern Mongols were no longer a "border trouble". So Zhangjiakou was not as strictly repaired as the Ming Dynasty, but now Tan Feng once again followed the path of the Manchus and the Mongols and entered Zhangjiakou.
When Tan Feng first arrived in Zhangjiakou, the Mongolian soldiers of the Chahar Eight Banners had already dispersed when they heard the wind, and they did not dare to stand in the way.
"Rush, death to those who stand in the way!" Wang Jingwen shouted.
A thousand cavalry quickly rushed into Zhangjiakou and began to plunder.
"Take the population away first, and the rest of the wealth can be given up!" Tan Feng shouted.
Tan Feng came to Zhangjiakou, didn't he just want the population? Population is the most important, and the current predicament of Tan Feng is almost the same as that of the newly rising Manchu Qing Dynasty, with a shortage of population. He must have a population, and he would rather exchange his wealth for a population, even if he is not a Han person, he can do it temporarily. So he prefers to ask for the population first, and then the goods.
And the population will walk on its own, the cargo will not. People who can walk on their own are more likely to carry their wealth than you. Tan Feng is a cavalryman, but his capacity is limited. If you put the limited capacity on those floating wealth that is not of great use, this will definitely be a big loss.
"Commander, ahead is the Chahar Governor's Mansion!" Wang Jingwen said.
"Take a company and follow me to surround the Chahar Governor's Mansion!" Tan Feng said.
Tan Feng took a cavalry company and rushed into the Chahar Governor's Mansion. The region, known as the Chahar Governor, nominally has an army of tens of thousands of men, but there are not many real regular troops long ago. In particular, Mongolia was actually the "hinterland" of the Manchus, not the frontier, and there was no need for them to maintain such a large number of full-time troops. But now, facing only a thousand Han cavalry, they were defeated like a mountain.
Tan Feng walked into the Chahar Governor's Mansion with the fierce Han cavalry, and the Chahar Governor Li Rongbao looked at the young Tan Feng and was silent. He was a prisoner in a daze, and he never thought that he would have such a day.
"Who are you? You're not your average horse thief, are you? Li Rongbao asked.
"What do you say?" Tan Feng didn't say much, obviously he didn't plan to erect the flag right away. The later the establishment of the banner, the better, especially to avoid the word "Han", because the Manchus were very sensitive to the word "Han", and the sensitivity was very strong.
Tan Feng took out his saber and prepared to slash towards this Chahar Chief.
"Don't hurt my dad!" A young girl ran over and shouted in front of Tan Feng.
"Daddy?" A child of six or seven years old also shouted at the same time.
"Fu Heng, what are you doing here?" Li Rongbao immediately exclaimed.
Tan Feng heard the word "Fu Heng", and then suddenly remembered something.
"Fu Heng, are you from the Fucha clan?" Tan Feng asked.
These people didn't answer, obviously acquiescing to the Fucha clan.
"Are you the sister of this little kid Fu Heng?" Tan Feng asked.
The girl nodded.
"Interesting, really interesting!" Tan Feng looked at this Fucha clan and suddenly showed an unfathomable smile.
