Chapter 287: Dolgon: Xiao Yi's son must be removed
Lin Dan Khan pointed his finger at Ezhe, angry, but the reason why he was different from other Mongol Great Khans was precisely because of his sanity. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Waving his hand, Lin Dan Khan, who was already angry, just had a gloomy face and asked, "That Southern Dynasty garrison is called Xiao Yi?" ”
Ezhe nodded again and again, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Father Khan, that Xiao also has Wu Yuan's high secret, knows our marching route, and set up an ambush south of Jiaoshan, and the child is caught off guard, that's why..."
Lin Dan Khan nodded, signaled to pull Ezhe up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the sweat tent, he also believed that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army should not be so strong.
What's more, the year before last, he plundered Datong, and at that time he returned with a full load, and the Ming troops fled everywhere, and they didn't even dare to leave the city, and they didn't encounter any decent resistance in Ulzhou.
Unless within a year, all of these Ming soldiers have become elite soldiers, but this is obviously impossible, who can have such great ability?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Dan Khan said coldly: "Although this defeat was ambushed, it is really a great shame for us Mongolia!" ”
"Since I succeeded to the throne of the Khan, how have I ever suffered such a defeat? Being known by the Jurchens, I'm afraid they will laugh at me for being incompetent! How can the city reward come back?! ”
Looking at Ezhe, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, Lin Danhan comforted: "There is no need to mention the matter of seeking revenge, that Xiao is just a small garrison, and it is not enough to pose a threat, the top priority is how to get the city reward back!" ”
Historically, the Ming Dynasty once gave the Mongolian right-wing departments an annual reward of 40,000 taels of silver in order to stabilize the West, which was known as the 'city reward' in history.
However, Lin Dan Khan moved west a few years ago, and quickly annexed the right-wing tribes with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and this year was in a critical period, and he was quite concerned about the 40,000 taels of the Ming Dynasty to reward Lin Dan Khan, and it was also a huge amount of money for the impoverished Mongolia.
However, at the beginning of Emperor Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, he "did his best", and the minister Gui Yingcha, who was sent by Lin Dan Khan to ask for a reward, was also killed by the Ming army.
Therefore, Lin Dan Khan invaded Datong in June last year, killed tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians, and almost captured the town of Datong, just to tell Emperor Chongzhen a message, he wanted those rewards.
Originally, according to the development of history, at the beginning of this year, Lin Dan Khan would plunder Xuanfu again, and Lin Dan Khan plundered Datong and Xuanfu, which would also force Chongzhen to restore the 'city reward'.
However, this defeat reversed the situation, Xuanfu did not invade, but lost to the garrison Ming army of Datong, even if a large army was immediately sent to surround Xuanfu, it had lost its original effect, which made Lin Dan Khan have to put aside his hatred for Xiao Yi first, to think about and deal with the consequences.
Ezhe also thought of the city reward, Lin Dan Khan has always valued the 40,000 taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and suddenly became even more ashamed, he said: "Father Khan, in my opinion, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty will still restore the city reward!" ”
Lin Dan Khan walked a few steps, walked in front of Ezhe, and asked urgently, "Oh? Why? ”
Ezhe pondered: "Father Khan, you think, the Southern Dynasty is not only our Mongolian enemy, those Jurchen barbarians in the northeast are also good, the Ming army can't even resist these barbarians, how can they be enemies of our Mongolia?" ”
The rest of the Mongolian tribal lords who were attached to Lin Dan Khan nodded again and again, and Lin Dan Khan listened to Ezhe's words, but his eyebrows were filled with deep worry: "Jurchen... Xiao Yishi is a stubborn disease, and the Jurchen is the biggest problem in my heart. ”
……
On the twentieth day of the first month, Shengjing, inside the Jiannu Palace.
One person sits high on the golden chair, and his majesty is revealed, which is for the emperor's Taiji.
There are several people under the stairs, one is the owner of the white flag, only twenty-year-old Dolgon, who was once awarded the name of 'Murgen Daiqing' by Huang Taiji, which means brave in battle.
The rest, from left to right, are Heshuo Dabel Daishan, Heshuo San Beyler Mang Gurtai, and Peshuo Si Belle Amin.
The four of them were called the four great beylers together with Huang Taiji during the Nurhachi period, and they all followed the old slave chief Nurhachi to fight for many years, with outstanding achievements and heavy troops, and Dai Shan was the head of the Houjin Zhubeyler, and the rest of Haoge and others were also present.
Just a few days ago, Liu Han, a captured Ming Dynasty craftsman, led a group of craftsmen to finally successfully imitate the first red-coated cannon, and the test was successful today.
Under such a formation, Liu Han, the craftsman kneeling below, was already trembling, Huang Taiji was actually very happy to hear the news, and waved his hand and said: "Get up, Liu Han, you are doing a good job, you can become a good slave of our Dajin." ”
Liu Han kowtowed but didn't dare to get up, although he was also surprised that these barbarians could study artillery, but it was good to be able to save his own life and that of his family, and it didn't matter if he was a slave or not.
This also marks that from now on, the Houjin, who have always been barbarian and backward, no longer only have bows and arrows and sabers, but also have long-range artillery.
With the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong for many years, the Jurchen fever, who has long suffered from the red-coated cannon, now also has such artillery, which makes Huang Taiji attach great importance to it, and he immediately ordered the formation of the 'Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion', also known as the 'heavy army'.
Immediately afterwards, this cannon was named 'God Bless Shenwei General', which was the predecessor of the later red-coated cannon, and the Ming Dynasty in order to show the importance of artillery, has always been named after the general, in order to show respect.
At this time, Huang Taiji followed the Ming Dynasty and named it after it, and it can also be seen that firearms are important in Huang Taiji's heart.
The newly established 'Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion' specializes in researching and equipping red-coated cannons and Ming Dynasty firearms, but now Huang Taiji suffers from the lack of talents in firearms, and everything is still only at the beginning, which is naturally far from the advanced level of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, most of the nobles in the Houjin Dynasty, except for a few people such as Huang Taiji and Dolgon, had a disdainful attitude towards this kind of artillery.
Hauge snorted coldly: "If these cannons and firearms are really sharp, how can the people of the Southern Dynasty be defeated by our Jurchen warriors?" ”
Huang Taiji frowned and said: "These Southern Dynasty people are weak and weak, but there are still some places that we need to learn. ”
Mang Gurtai shouted: "Fart! What do the Han people need us to learn, how to run away in battle? ”
"Even without these artillery, a hundred of our warriors can still defeat thousands of Ming troops, and they can only cower in the city and wait for death."
"Hahaha!" The palace bells laughed, and some people began to talk about how fast the Ming army broke and fled during the battle.
Hauge turned a few steps and said in a loud voice: "In my opinion, whether there are any cannons like this, my Jurchen warriors can also be ten!" ”
Hauge's words were agreed by almost everyone present, only Dolgon did not say a word in a deep voice, and at this moment, a Jurchen with a yellow flag ran into the main hall.
As soon as he came in, he deducted his head, and after deducting his head, he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Dan Khan was defeated in Datong, and the Ming army was cut by more than 1,000!" ”
At this time, the news of Xiao Yi's victory had not yet reached the close Jingshi, but it had first reached Shengjing, which was thousands of miles away, which had to be said to be a sad place.
Almost all merchants from all over the world had dealings with the Jurchens, and on the day Xiao Yi returned to the city, news came out from Ulju City.
On the other hand, officials from all over the Ming Dynasty will not release the news immediately after they get it, but will also compliment them for a while and set up a banquet to entertain them, and even give gifts to visit, and dredge the doors everywhere before reporting.
In contrast, the news of the Jurchens went all the way unimpeded, and naturally it was much faster.
"Haha, what did you say? The Mongols actually lost to the Han Chinese? ”
"What a big joke, Lin Dan Khan will die soon!"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the Zhubels laughed at the incompetence of the Mongols, and after the ridicule, they shouted for war to attack the Chahar tribe.
Huang Taiji waved his hand to stop it, glanced at Dolgon, who was still silent, and said, "Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Although it has been brewing, it is still not the right time to attack Lin Dan Khan.
The situation of the Later Jin is not very good, there are Korean gangs in the south and the Ming Dynasty, there are people in the southern tribes of the Mo who flatter and some people who disobey the yang, and although the five tribes of Nekhalkha in the north have experienced a defeat, they are still openly enemies of the Jurchens.
A few years ago, Lin Dan Khan moved westward, and the strength of the right-wing tribes of Mongolia increased greatly, and he was still nominally the Great Khan of Mongolia, and the Mongolian army that could be mobilized was no less than hundreds of thousands.
It is Huang Taiji's confidant, but the small country of Guan'er in North Korea has always sent troops to assist the Ming Dynasty, but it makes Huang Taiji feel hateful.
At this time, it can really be said that you are attacked on three sides, and you need to carefully consider every step, as the so-called one wrong step, you will lose all the games.
Hauge glanced at Dolgon and sneered: "A hairy boy, what insight can you have." ”
When Dolgon heard this, he didn't have any anger, and asked the Jurchen soldier with a warm smile: "Do you know what the name of the general of the Ming army who commanded the battle?" ”
The soldier with the yellow flag bent down at Dolgon and said respectfully: "Belle, that person's name is Xiao Yi, and he is the Ulzhou garrison set up at the beginning of this year. ”
"Xiao Yi?"
Dolgon muttered Xiao Yi's name, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses did you lead, and how many Mongols did you have?" ”
"More than 1,000 foot soldiers, 3,000 Mongolian rangers, led by Ezhe, the son of Lin Dan Khan."
At this time, Mang Gurtai hesitated: "No, could it be that the report is wrong, and the Ming army can defeat 3,000 cavalry with more than 1,000 foot soldiers?" ”
Huang Taiji didn't speak, just kept looking at Dorgon, for some reason, he had always valued Dolgon's view of the descendant.
Dorgon asked a few more questions, and after making sure that it was right, he muttered for a long time.
At this time, Azig suddenly said: "Xiao Yi! He's still alive? I will kill him! Azig has long forgotten what happened last year, although it was a stain, but it has been more than a year, Xiao Yi has long not known where he died, Xiao Yi is still a nobody after all, and no one has mentioned it again.
Azig himself also forgot about it, not to mention that in the rest of the battles, Azig was still unstoppable, and he won successive battles, which made the Ming army fearful.
But this time, when I heard it, the nobody a year ago not only did not die, but actually became a garrison!
After listening to Azig's words, the people of Dorgon suddenly remembered what happened in Zunhua last year, but the garrison was still a small position, and it could not lead many soldiers, and it was not enough to pose a threat, and most people were still not surprised.
During the discussion, Dolgon, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, only to hear Dolgon's categorical words: "If this son is not removed, it will become a problem in my Dajin's heart in the future!" ”
