Chapter 399: Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a crowd of people, these cavalrymen are all dressed in white spikes and red lined iron armor, and the high lightning rod and iron helmet on their heads symbolizes their identity, and the Jurchen cavalry with white flags. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Dolgon rode a tall horse at the front, followed by an endless stream of Jurchen cavalry, several thousand men.
Suddenly, Dolgon frowned tightly and said, "Go over and take a look." ”
Hearing this, although the others didn't hear anything, they still quickly divided dozens of tall and white flag Jurchen cavalry to ride over.
Dolgon watched their departing backs, and for some reason, he felt a little frightened.
Du Du personally led more than 10,000 iron cavalry with more than 10,000 white flags and more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry of the Korling Division, and the Yong'an army is mostly foot soldiers, even if the combat power is strong, there should be no suspense...
Besides, in the current Southern Dynasty, which army can stop his Dolgon's white flag and iron hooves, is it a victory?
Just as he was thinking, the dozens of cavalry rode back, and the expressions on their faces were very exciting, which made Dolgon a little surprised.
"The Mongol tribes such as the Zobel, the Korling, and the others have all collapsed... Tsizik is nowhere to be found... Piru led 5,000 warriors to be killed... Annihilated. ”
The white flag cavalry of this report said, the voice was getting smaller and smaller, the white flag has always been the upper three banners in the Houjin, and the combat power is not much more than the yellow flag and the yellow flag personally led by Huang Taiji.
Now that it will suffer a great defeat, in addition to the more than 5,000 cavalry led by Meler Ezhen Piru, the brave and good Dudu will also have thousands of casualties, how is this possible!?
As soon as he finished speaking, one of them rode back, and when he reached Dorgon's eyes, he hurriedly dismounted and prostrate.
"Baylor, Baylor! The minions are incompetent, the warriors in the banner have suffered heavy casualties, and the minions are incompetent! ”
Seeing Dudu with a gray face in front of him, and even a scarred face, a look of disbelief slowly rose in Dolgon's eyes, and his breath gradually became heavier.
If it had been on Azig, I am afraid that he would have yelled to cut down Dudu, but Dolgon's face gradually sank, and he asked hopefully.
"Du Du, how many casualties have there been in the Zhengbai Flag?"
This is what Dolgon cares about most, no matter how the Mongols are defeated, they are just cannon fodder, but the flag of the white flag is Dolgon's descendant, representing his status and power in the post-Jinzhong.
Hearing this, Du Du was even more ashamed of his self-esteem, and he continued to win several times when he entered the customs, even if he encountered stubborn resistance, there would not be such heavy casualties.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid there will be at least 7,000 warriors..."
After listening to Du Du, Dolgon's brain boomed, and the heavy knife in his hand could no longer be held, and muttered.
"Seven... More than 7,000 casualties..."
Then Dolgon looked at the sky, this time they were afraid that they were really going to break their muscles and bones, closed their eyes, and their breath gradually trembled a little: "Zhengbai flag, it's over." ”
Hearing this, Du Du and the other Jurchen soldiers of the White Flag who fled back were even more ashamed and full of guilt.
......
On June 15 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Houjin army settled in the city, garrisoned Bao Bing to actively prepare for war, and at the same time asked for help in the town.
On the 16th and 17th, there was heavy fog for several days, and according to the locals, the fog spread so widely that you could not see your five fingers.
It was also on these two days that Xiao Yi, the chief officer of the Datong town guard, led more than 10,000 Yongan troops out of the town to help the settlement, and on the same night, Dolgon ordered the troops to surround the settlement.
According to the Ming army on duty at the settlement, the earth-shaking shouts outside the city began on the 18th and lasted for several days before gradually subsided.
In the afternoon of the same day, they saw a steady stream of Mongol routs coming from afar, passing through the city without looking back.
It's only been a few days, and the Houjin military camp, which has been stationed outside the city for a month, has been empty for some time, and it has actually left.
At this point, Chongzhen's five-year siege of Xuanda ended ahead of schedule, and the Houjin army withdrew from the vicinity of Xuanzhen Wanquanwei in early August of the fifth year of Chongzhen.
However, the entrance to the Ming court this time was still a heavy loss, especially compared to the Houjin, the original Zhangjiakou should be handed over to Lin Dan Khan side property but was seized by the Houjin people.
Lin Dan Khan was defeated and fled to Qinghai, the Chahar tribe suffered a heavy blow and it was difficult to rise again, and the rest of the Mongol tribes almost all submitted to the Later Jin, and since then the northern door of the Ming court has been wide open, and it is no longer difficult to create an effective defense against the Later Jin.
Although the Jin army did not get any benefits after Datong Town, it can still be said that it was full of money in Xuanzhen, in addition to a large number of border property, Haoge led two yellow flags in Xuanzhen as if no one was in the territory.
Li Mingfu, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, and others were all afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and they did not want to go out of the town, even more so than watching dozens of Houjin cavalry carrying hundreds of homeless people and not daring to come out.
As a result, the Houjin army plundered Xuanzhen, and the farthest even ran to the territory of Shuntianfu, and the Jingshi was shaken.
Even if it does not count the huge benefits obtained from the hands of Mongolia, the Houjin army in Xuanzhen, Shuntianfu, Baoding and other places to plunder the population, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep will be hundreds of thousands, and more than 100,000 Ming troops defected after the Jin were incorporated into the Han army by Huang Taiji, becoming the predecessor of the Han Eight Banners.
However, the southbound Dolgon suffered a heavy defeat in Datong and suffered heavy casualties, and retreated to Xuanzhen ahead of schedule, but compared to the complete victory elsewhere, this defeat is no longer regarded as important.
In the middle of August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, at a court meeting in the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City in Beijing, the fierce debate over the Yong'an Army's Datong Town was still continuing.
The Yong'an army won a great victory, and in the first battle of Datong Town, more than 5,000 people were annihilated in the real white flag of the women, plus several days of fierce battles, more than 7,000 Jurchens were beheaded, and it was even more difficult to count the Mongols who were killed in large numbers.
Although Chongzhen was surprised when he heard Xiao Yizhuojie now, he was not as surprised as he used to be, but his face was full of sadness, and he was thinking about what outsiders naturally didn't know.
But the clever Wen Tiren was able to guess a rough idea, but he didn't say it explicitly after he came out of the list, first reported some irrelevant trivial things to test Chongzhen's meaning, and suddenly changed his words after the test was clear.
When it comes to the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, it is not a good thing to say that the military generals have high achievements and cover the masters, and after more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, the military generals have heavy troops but do not listen to the orders of the imperial court.
Speaking of this, Wen Tiren knelt on the ground, looking very earnest, saying that he was to blame and resigned, and he didn't want to see the day when Xiao Yi rebelled.
I have to say that Wen Tiren felt Chongzhen's thoughts very thoroughly, and Chongzhen really didn't allow him to give advice, but personally walked down the jade steps to comfort him.
After Wen Tiren got up, his words were even more stern: "Now Xiao Ye is already unsealable, is he a king with a different surname?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the court, and there was no precedent for a king with a different surname, except for the founding heroes of the early Ming Dynasty!
This remark not only caused a fierce controversy among the courtiers, but also made Chongzhen, who was already hesitant, even more shocked, if he didn't seal the king with a different surname, what should Xiao do!?
At this time, Li Banghua, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out of the queue and handed over a letter of weeping blood, and Chongzhen did not hesitate to reprimand Li Banghua when he heard that it was Cai Jiahe, the former governor of Datong who had been imprisoned.
But Li Banghua took half of the Donglin literati out one after another, and implored Chongzhen to take a look at Cai Jiahe's recital, not only that, but even Wen Tiren and other Qi and Zhejiang Party and other Manchu Dynasty clerks also came out.
Chongzhen was only angry for a while, and he was still very curious about what Cai Jiahe said, so he ordered Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, to present the performance.
In this letter, Cai Jiahe counted what Xiao also did in Datong Town, saying that they were all unauthorized seizures of power.
From Xiao Yi serving as the chief flag officer of Changning Town, until he served as the chief military officer of Datong Town, he not only killed those generals who did not obey his command on trumped-up charges, but also indiscriminately killed the local clans.
Chongzhen naturally couldn't fully believe Cai Jiahe's one-sided words, so he secretly summoned the commander of Jinyiwei in the side hall to make Luo Yangxing.
That night, listening to Luo Yangxing's report, Chongzhen's hand holding the black chess piece gradually used his strength, and his expression became elusive.
