Langfang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was already dark, Dolgon walked up and down the hall, his heart was full of worry, it had been more than two hours, no one came back to report, the last report was in the afternoon, the spies came to report, the army led by Duoduo was like a bamboo, and the army had come to the Acropolis of Tianjin.

Previously, the situation in front of Dolgon continued to spread to Dolgon, and Dorgon's army not only advanced smoothly, but also broke Zhang Feng's defense line several times, and also captured several muskets, these muskets, after Dolgon saw them, have been handed over to the Miscellaneous Bureau, ready to be imitated.

Langfang is far away from Tianjin Wei, said far is not far, said near is not close, in this era of information is not developed, communication mainly depends on fast horses or flying pigeons, the situation ahead, mainly rely on Tartars to ride fast horses to Langfang.

At about noon, Dordo led his army outside the city wall of Tianjin, and began to prepare for the siege, which was passed by the Tartars to Langfang by fast horses, and by the time the news reached Dolgon, it had been several hours, and it was already afternoon.

Since then, there has been no news from the front, and now it is even darker, and years of experience have told Dorgon that this is not normal.

Dorgon walked up and down the hall, frowning.

After a long time, Dorgon asked, "Have our cavalry been sent?" ”

Feeling that the situation was a little wrong, Dolgon ordered to send an elite cavalry out of Langfang, the cavalry was mobile and fast, this cavalry was not many in number, and mainly went to the area of Tianjin Wei to reconnoitre.

The Tartar general next to him immediately said: "Master, I sent a Niu Lu, it has been nearly an hour since I left Langfang, and there should be a situation soon." ”

"Hmm." Dorgon frowned and nodded.

Another Tartar general next to him, estimated to be Dolgon's henchman, said: "Master, you don't need to worry, this time we went to 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and three musket battalions, two artillery battalions, at this time, it is estimated that Tianjin Wei is storming, maybe Tianjin Wei has been broken, and our warriors have entered the Tianjin Acropolis." ”

Dorgon nodded slowly, "I hope so." ”

There has been no news from the front, Dolgon is still a little worried, but it is just worrying, Zhang Feng's people have seen the musket Dolgon has seen it, it is more advanced than the musket equipped with Dolgon's musket battalion, but the advanced is also relatively limited, Dolgon is confident that his musket battalion uses a six-stage shooting method, which is estimated to be much worse than Zhang Feng's three-stage shooting method.

In addition, Dolgon knew that his seventy or eighty thousand men, as well as two artillery battalions of red-coated artillery, had an absolute advantage in numbers, and there should be no major problems.

For this battle, Dolgon was already full of confidence, otherwise, Dolgon would not have attacked Tianjin Wei.

Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, but there was still no news, Dolgon's brows furrowed deeper, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What the hell is Duoduo doing, the military situation is not reported to himself, are you not going to put yourself in your eyes, it seems that this Duoduo needs to be beaten well." ”

As he thought so, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, as if more than one person was coming, breaking the silence in the hall.

Originally, the hall was very quiet, no, it should be said that it was dull, only Dolgon walked around there, and the rest of the generals stood there, and the atmosphere was not out for a moment, and now, the sound of footsteps outside came, and many people quickly looked out of the hall.

In everyone's eyes, several people entered the hall, and one of the leaders, many Tartar generals could see at a glance that it was this military general who took a Niu Lu's cavalry to Tianjin Wei to reconnoiter more than an hour ago.

In addition to this general, there is also a Tartar armor Lae Zhen, this person is covered in blood, his armor is tattered, and he looks miserable.

Dolgon finally felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

The Tartar Lama really knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried: "Master, the warriors are all finished, and the master of Duoduo is also killed in battle, all over, woo woo......"

What the!

Many Tartar generals in the hall were stunned, this is an army of 70,000 or 80,000, how can it be all finished, and even Duoduo is killed in battle, this is impossible!

I don't want to do it at all!

Everyone looked at this miserable-looking Jia Lazhen with a shocked face, if it weren't for the fact that this person was covered in blood and his armor was tattered, it is estimated that there would be many Tatar generals who shouted loudly.

The Tartar generals who accompanied Niu Lu Ezhen also knelt on the ground and said miserably: "Master, all this is true, we led the warriors out of Langfang, and the area around Tianjin Wei in front of us was investigated, and we encountered several waves of warriors who fled back from Tianjin Wei, but the number of these people is not much, and the most wave is only one hundred and ten people, and we know from the mouths of these warriors who fled back that all the warriors who attacked Tianjin Wei died, all died under Zhang Feng's musket. ”

Dolgon's face sank suddenly, his right hand was clenched, and the green tendons on his fist burst out, obviously, Dolgon's mood at the moment was extremely uneasy.

"Impossible, how can this be." Dolgon shouted frantically in his heart, and after shouting several times, Dolgon had to accept the reality that he had failed miserably, failed again, and failed miserably at the hands of Zhang Feng again.

In the whole hall, depressed and dull, only the low sobs of the Tartar Armor Lama were really low, and Dolgon's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, and the green tendons on his fists were bursting out, looking in the direction of Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei once again became a fiasco for Dolgon, and the battle of revenge that was full of confidence, full of seventy or eighty thousand people, did not think about it, and the final outcome was like this.

After a long time, Dolgon asked slowly, "Order the warriors to return to Langfang City and defend Langfang City." ”

At this time, Dolgon is most worried about Langfang City, because the current Langfang Cheng army is seriously hollow, only a few thousand people, Dolgon is worried that Zhang Feng will take advantage of the victory to attack Langfang City.

However, Dolgon's worries are obviously superfluous, Zhang Feng disdains Langfang City, Zhang Feng is going to play a big game this time, what is Langfang City.

After issuing the order, Dolgon did not dare to stay in Langfang City for a long time, and returned to Beijing City overnight, and it was not until he entered Beijing City that Dolgon was relieved.

Beijing is naturally not comparable to a small city like Langfang, Beijing not only has a huge strong city wall, but also has nearly 100,000 troops in the Tartars, Dolgon firmly believes that even if Zhang Feng's firearms are powerful, they will not be able to take Beijing City, it is completely impossible.

However, to Dorgon's great puzzlement, Zhang Feng didn't seem to have made any moves, and he never attacked Langfang City, and Dolgon was a false alarm.

Tianjin Wei.

Ten days ago, after a big station here, the soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and then actually rested, without the slightest sign of taking advantage of the victory to attack Langfang.

Zhang Feng stayed in Tianjin Wei and was not in a hurry to go back, that is, more than ten days later, a large transport fleet came to Tianjin Port, more than a dozen 3,000 material transport ships, from these ships, boxes of ammunition were transported.

Since you want to play a big game, you must have enough ammunition, otherwise, how can you play.

After the end of the Battle of Tianjinwei, the Tartars also began to reconnoiter the area around Tianjinwei, of course, only on the periphery, and it was impossible to get close to Tianjinwei.

The Tartars were puzzled, the Tianjin Wei area seemed to be quiet, Zhang Feng had no major moves at all, if the only big move was the surrender of more than 20,000 captives.

From today onwards, these soldiers actually put on the gray vests of the unified system, and the number on the vests was still there, and under the supervision of the soldiers, they actually worked outside the city.

Not far from the Tianjin Acropolis, there was a huge construction site, a large number of troops were actually working, and the Tartar spies in the distance couldn't understand what they were doing, but they didn't dare to come over to check it up close, no matter how close the distance was, these Tartar spies would be arrested. Of course, it is not without Tartar spies being caught, and these days, warriors always catch Tartar spies.

Some of the information that the Tartar spy saw kept coming to Dolgon, and Dolgon was also confused, and he didn't understand what Zhang Feng was doing at all.

I don't understand, in the end, Dolgon didn't think about it in the end, as long as Zhang Feng didn't move his troops and didn't attack Langfang, in order to keep Langfang, Dolgon sent more than 10,000 people to Langfang, strengthening Langfang's defense.

However, Zhang Feng really didn't seem to have any signs of attacking Langfang, Zhang Feng didn't attack Langfang, and Dolgon was relieved.

As long as Zhang Feng did not attack Langfang and Beijing, Dolgon was relieved, because the westward advance of hundreds of thousands of Tartar troops was very smooth, and as long as Li Zicheng was eliminated, Dolgon would have enough troops to attack Zhang Feng.

In addition, what made Dolgon very happy was that after the last time he "captured" Zhang Feng's several muskets and handed them over to the Miscellaneous Bureau, although the level of this Miscellaneous Bureau was not very good, there were ready-made sample guns there, and after spending a lot of effort, a few front-loading smoothbore guns were finally created.

These muskets made by the Tartars are very similar to these sample guns of the "captured" Zhang Feng, but the quality is poorer, and when the gun is tested, one gun only fired a few shots before exploding, and the best one failed to last until ten shots.

Even so, Dolgon was very happy, because the craftsmen of the Miscellaneous Bureau said that as long as there was good fine iron, the matter of blowing up the chamber could be solved, so Dolgon ordered the collection of fine iron everywhere, and many common people suffered.

Many people's daily iron products were searched by Tartars, and even kitchen knives, scissors, etc., all of which were put into the Tartars' miscellaneous bureau and used to make muskets.

Dolgon fully realized the power of muskets, especially after the disastrous defeat of Tianjin Wei in the first battle, Dolgon knew that he had to form a musket battalion again, so he tried his best to imitate and build a front-loading flintlock pistol, and at the same time formed a musket battalion again.

If Dolgon knew that the musket battalion that he had worked so hard to set up with a lot of financial and material resources, and the muskets that he had worked so hard to build, would be completely vulnerable in front of Zhang Feng's troops, what would he be like?

Here, I also have to admire Zhang Feng's cleverness, deliberately throwing a few old-fashioned front-loading smoothbore guns to Dolgon, so that Dolgon can "learn to build" such muskets, and let Dolgon spend a lot of manpower and material resources to form a musket battalion equipped with such muskets, which completely consumes Dolgon.

Dolgon didn't know it yet, but he was very happy, thinking that with such a musket, he could defeat Zhang Feng and win the world with his own army of hundreds of thousands.

No matter how powerful you are, the limitations of the times are still there, and they can't be compared with Zhang Feng, a traverser, after all, Zhang Feng has hundreds of years of knowledge, and Zhang Feng's insight and vision are not comparable to anyone in this era, not even Dolgon.

………

Tongguan.

Under the attack of the heavy Tartar troops, especially the bombardment of the Tartar red-coated artillery, Li Zicheng finally failed to hold this barrier, at present, Tongguan has been breached, and the Tartar army is driving straight in.

Li Zicheng's general, Ma Shiyao, who guarded Tongguan, surrendered. The next day, he and 7,000 Dashun troops were slaughtered.

When the news reached Xi'an, Li Zicheng, who was worried in Xi'an, was discouraged when he heard the news, and it seemed that the northwest could not stay. Li Zicheng prepared to evacuate Xi'an.

When he was about to retreat, he ordered his general Tian Jianxiu to burn down all the buildings and warehouses in Xi'an. Fortunately, this General Tian is still humane, and only set fire to the East Gate Tower and the Nanyue City Tower, leaving cold houses and food for the people of Xi'an.

A few days later, Li Zicheng led his Dashun army to evacuate Xi'an, of course, a few days later, the news also reached Zhang Feng, these days, Zhang Feng has been in Tianjin Wei, after careful preparation and arrangement, Zhang Feng is also ready to act, ready to play a big game.

The news was that Guan Peng came to report in person, and after listening to Guan Peng's report, Zhang Feng said slowly: "It seems that Li Zicheng can't hold on, and under the blow of the Tartars, it is not far from destruction." ”

What about Li Zicheng, Zhang Feng naturally won't care, and naturally won't save it, this is not Zhang Feng's business at all, what Zhang Feng has to do is to wait and see what happens, and finally come out to clean up the overall situation.

Guan Peng not only brought the news of the Dashun army, but also brought an astonishing news, Guan Peng reported that the Tartars had looted about 30 or 40 million taels of silver in the area of the capital, as well as a large amount of gold, and various property.

These things have not been transported back to Guanwai for the time being, and they are all in Beijing, but there are all kinds of signs that Tatars are ready to transport these things to Guanwai.

Dolgon ordered that all the silver and gold that had been looted be melted down and recast into silver or gold plates, naturally for the purpose of making it easier to transport.

Chongzhen didn't have any money, but the merchants in Beijing City, the officials, and those famous families all had money, and after some looting, they actually looted a full three or four thousand taels of silver, a large amount of gold and various property.

After listening to Guan Peng's report, Zhang Feng touched his chin and thought, is Lao Tzu going to make a fortune again?

After the report, Guan Peng suggested: "Commander-in-chief, it seems that the Tartars are transporting all these things outside the Guan, and we can't let the Tartars transport them away." ”

Zhang Feng nodded and said confidently: "Of course, they don't want to be transported out of the customs." After finishing speaking, Zhang Feng said to Zong Dechao next to him: "Commander Zong, it seems that our plan needs to be advanced." ”
