The outbreak of the captive epidemic is not purely because of the rain for several days, of course, compared with the cold and dry climate of Liaodong, the humid heat in the south is indeed very unadaptable, not to mention the Jianghuai region, that is, Shandong makes them very unaccustomed, before coming to Haizhou, there has been a large-scale epidemic situation among the captives, so Abatai gathered the whole army, to recuperate in Shandong for a period of time, and then to return to Liaodong.

In other words, if you don't come to Haizhou, the captive's invasion and plundering operation has ended.

But can you not come to Haizhou?

Going south to Haizhou, for Turg, is not a purely military issue, let alone a plundering issue, but a political issue.

This involves the struggle for power in the Eight Banners, who called the captured Beizi, it is Abatai's son Bolo, and he is also one of Abatai's most favored sons.

Out of political considerations, it was inconvenient for Abatai to mobilize a large army to the south to rescue his son, because driving the army out of self-interest would definitely give the political opponent a false pretext, and if there was a slight setback, the political price paid would be too great.

As the son of Nurhachi, Abatai held a high position, second only to the banner owners.

This time, as a general who was ordered to be a general, he commanded the banners to plunder all parts of Shandong, obviously his status will be further improved after he returns, and Huang Taiji will also take action to win him over, and even let him lead the troops this time, instead of letting Dolgon, Duoduo and other banner lords lead the troops, which is itself Huang Taiji's attraction of Abatai and the suppression of other princes Baylor.

So Abatai got this opportunity, although he commanded the elite of the banners, but the pressure was also very great, I don't know how many pairs of eyes stared at him, I can't wait to see Abatai make a fool, in this case, Abatai ignored the large-scale disease in the army, and ordered the whole army to go south to rescue his son. The bad political impact caused by this is something that a high-ranking figure like Abatai like the Eight Banners cannot afford.

Therefore, in the event of a large-scale outbreak of disease, Abatai did not dare to venture south at political risk. When the time comes, the results of the battle will not be mentioned, but only the damage caused by disease. In fact, he may not be able to suppress the opposition in the army and let the army obey the order to go south, because once he proposes to go south, his generals will inevitably oppose and obstruct it.

As a high-level figure second only to the banner owner of the Eight Banners, Abatai is struggling, and he must be careful at every step, not daring to let himself be stained with a little stain to find a handle for his political opponents. Therefore, do not dare to take risks. At the same time, Abatai is also involuntarily, as the commander-in-chief, he is constrained everywhere, and every order may be questioned by other banner generals.

However, as a minister in charge, Turge's status is far worse than those descendants of Nurhachi, but he is more able to bear some stains, and he went out to loot Haizhou (secretly rescued Bolo) without authorization to receive some punishment in the end, and at the same time, as a deputy commander, he can also deal with it flexibly, convincing several generals who are close to Abatai, and the support of the generals of the Shangsanqi under the direct jurisdiction of Huang Taiji, he can completely mobilize 10,000 troops. Enough for Turg.

Therefore, Abatai could not go south, but Turg could.

Turg is a solid mountain with a white flag, and he is the Minister of the Interior. It is one of the eight ministers, but in fact it is just a dog's leg of Huang Taiji, the eyes of Huang Taiji planted in the white flag, and the nail that Huang Taiji used to balance his main political opponents, the white flag master Duoduo and the white flag master Dolgon.

Abatai couldn't send troops to save his son in front of many political enemies, but it didn't matter if Turg was a deputy with a partial division.

Of course, Turg was also at risk, and the people he brought were injured and died. There is also a punishment when you go back, but Turg is more than able to take that risk. Because if these injuries were to be placed on his head, they would only be the price to be paid for the plunder. At most, it is said that he is greedy to cause trouble, under the protection of Huang Taiji, he will be fined a few horses at most, compared to the political influence of Abatai sending troops to be said to be a selfish labor army, a little punishment is simply not enough, but it can be exchanged for Abatai's gratitude, and he has firmly attracted this strong reinforcement for Huang Taiji and made great contributions.

This kind of political gain is too great, far more than the gain from plundering a Haizhou.

But Turg did not fail to consider the situation that he could not defeat Haizhou, if Haizhou was really difficult to fight, Turg also planned to throw away more than 100 lives and go back, after all, he was here for political speculation, and he couldn't do his best.

So Turg has always planned that if Haizhou is easy to fight, then take it in one fell swoop, if he can save Bolo, it doesn't matter if he can't save it, just bring back the corpse.

If Haizhou City is not easy to fight, he will attack casually, throw down a hundred and ten lives to go back, and then tell Abatai that the Ming army threatens his son's life, so he does not dare to attack hard, and Abatai has nothing to say, so he will rush at the one hundred and ten lives thrown down by Turg, and Abatai will have to grit his teeth and owe Huang Taiji a favor.

But Turge didn't expect Haizhou to be a hard nail, hard beyond his imagination, on the first day he let him eat a dismount, and was teased by the Qian Zong from Nanjing, who said that he would surrender, but in the end he secretly entered the city.

It doesn't matter if he fakes his surrender, anyway, Turg doesn't really want to kill many people, and it doesn't even matter if Haizhou City is fought or not, he just wants to put on a posture to rescue Bolo and show it to Abatai.

But Yang Chao actually shelled Turg's camp at night, which made it difficult for Turg to ride a tiger, because no matter how you look at it, it is a humiliation, and other officers will say that Turg lured others to surrender, and was deceived by others, not to mention, and was beaten by people who could only move the camp in embarrassment, and stabbed to death If Turg is just making a show to Abatai, whether Abatai can fall into the favor of Huang Taiji and not say, Turg himself will become a laughing stock.

It is true that Turg is Huang Taiji's henchman who was planted in the inlaid white flag, but he himself is definitely not having a good time in the inlaid white flag, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as walking on thin ice, he made a small mistake a few years ago, he was dismissed by Huang Taiji, although he later took the opportunity to reinstate him, but it also made Turg more careful.

This time Yang Chao deceived and humiliated the artillery of Turge's camp, forcing Turg to move the camp of Qishan from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, if Turg does not move seriously, and goes back with this shame, I am afraid that the prince Baylor banner owner in the white flag should test the pressure of Huang Taiji, he has really done it, and he can be reinstated last time, this time I am afraid there will be no chance. After all, Turg is not young anymore, and he can't withstand these ups and downs.

Turg has a lower status than Abatai and has no personal interests. So more able to withstand stains, Turg can withstand a little bit of setbacks. For example, if you eat a stain like a defeat, one or two small failures are harmless, but this kind of being deceived and forcing him to move the camp site with artillery shelling is not a small stain, this is a great shame.

Therefore, when Yang Chao opened fire, it was already doomed, and the battle of Haizhou in Turg this time. We must not stop at the beginning, but must achieve a result.

That is, Haizhou must be broken, and Haizhou must be cleaned, and the shame on his body must be washed away, so as not to affect the political future of Turg. Sacrifice him again Turg.

So since Yang Chao stole into Haizhou City and shelled the camp in Qishan, Turg was already fighting for his own political future. Instead of the speculation in front of him to get Abatai's gratitude, so if Haizhou is not captured, it must not go!

But the next attack exceeded Turge's expectations again and again, he thought that Haizhou City was not easy to fight, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to fight.

Hundreds of people were lost just by filling the moat, even if they were all coatings, but it also made those masters feel distressed, and they had to promise them that they would replenish more coatings to suppress their emotions.

And the first day of the official siege. As a result, hundreds of people were lost, and these were all warriors.

However, at this time, Turg was only slightly surprised. Such a vicious battle has not been fought before, and there are also such nail households in Liaodong. For example, Zhao Shujiao and others I met back then.

But over the years, the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians are getting weaker and weaker, especially in the Guannei, the Ming army encountered is simply vulnerable, even if it is a strong city, it is not indestructible, if it is not for fear of casualties, Turg does not think that there is a Ming Dynasty city that can block their soldiers, such as this time the easy to take Surabaya, almost climb the city wall to win, the people in the city either abandon the city and flee or kneel to beg for mercy.

But Haizhou has never been able to step on the city wall.

However, Turg still believed that as long as his own people climbed the city wall, the Ming army would definitely collapse, so he ignored the onslaught of casualties, but still did not attack the city wall, but threw down nearly a thousand corpses.

It was only at this time that Turg felt embarrassed, and even did not hesitate to win over the Mongols at both ends of the first rat, with the help of 3,000 Mongol troops to continue to storm the city wall, and at the same time mobilized Bayala guards to sneak attack the western city wall, and finally successfully stepped on the city wall this time.

At this time, Turg was completely careless, so he was very well prepared for this sneak attack, and even quite conservative for a while, asking the elite soldiers not to take risks after kicking the city, first build a solid wooden wall to form a stable foothold, and then let all the Bayala soldiers he brought together in one place, all gather at that foothold, and then launch an attack.

Turg felt that his plan was already very secure, and he also used the strongest force at hand, but he didn't expect that the powerful force of nearly a thousand elite soldiers of Bayara brought in his hand was defeated!

And the defeat was extremely miserable, almost completely annihilated, that is, when they had already gained a solid foothold, and gathered more than a thousand Bayala elites, and calmly formed a stable formation, they were all wiped out, except for less than a hundred who had not yet kicked the city, all the others were killed.

After this battle, Turg was completely helpless and in a state of despair.

Obviously, not to mention the loss of thousands of soldiers, and there is nothing to gain, if he goes back like this, his future will be completely ruined.

You must know that the Bayala elite soldiers he sent out, not only did he have a white flag, but also a red flag, a blue flag and a yellow flag, not only other princes Baylor's, but also Huang Taiji's own guards, and these elite soldiers were all defeated by him, not to mention other princes Baylor, even Huang Taiji was probably unwilling to let him go.

Therefore, although Turg was still besieging the city, he felt that he himself was cornered, and he could only force the siege of Haizhou to continue, hoping that a miracle would happen.

How could a miracle happen?

The first is that Haizhou City fainted and surrendered himself, which Turg did not believe.

The second is Abatai's righteousness and comes to rescue himself, but this makes Turg feel ironic, he came south originally for Abatai, in order to fall Abatai's favor, but he didn't expect that he is now reduced to the point where he needs Abatai to rescue.

However, Turg was reluctant to be rescued by Abatai.

Because Abatai, as a general who was ordered to lead the whole army, had already issued an order to let the whole army gather in Shandong to rest, but in order to rescue Bolo, not only did he not go north to Qingzhou to join Abatai, but instead mobilized everyone he could mobilize to go south to Haizhou, although his real purpose was to rescue Bolo, but this kind of thing could not be under the banner, after all, Abatai did not let him Turg help, and second, he would never admit that Turg was helping him.

Because Abatai is the commander of the whole army, his son was captured and captured, and Abatai, as a father, is not very good at rescuing the tired army. Therefore, he absolutely cannot admit that he has anything to do with Turg's southward journey, and will even do everything possible to confirm that Turg acted without authorization, and came to Haizhou to plunder, and Abatai is not sure that Turg, a hat who attacked without permission regardless of military orders, is already very righteous, if it is really like that, Turg will not only be deposed, but if he can't get this life, he will be buried.

Therefore, Turg doesn't want Abatai to help him at all, as long as Abatai goes south to help him, it is equivalent to admitting that Tuba is trapped in Haizhou and needs rescue, and Abatai will definitely play the banner, because if he doesn't play the banner of rescuing Turg, he will leave people with other plans to go south to Haizhou, which is to save his son.

So Turg only begged Abatai to pretend not to know that he was going south, and had been waiting for him to go back in Shandong, even if he did him a great favor, of course, it was impossible to conceal it, and this defeat in Haizhou would definitely be taken out by other banner lords and princes to put pressure on Huang Taiji.

Turg didn't hope that Abatai would go south to help him, Abatai didn't come to help him, but was helping him, Abatai came to help him, but he was harming him, fortunately the two had no enmity, otherwise Abatai would definitely be eager to go south, under the banner of saving Turg, put Turg to death, and at the same time have the opportunity to rescue his son in Haizhou City, why not.

Haizhou will not surrender, the coach will not come to help, and Turg can only hope for a third miracle.

That is, the Haizhou people couldn't stand the siege, went out of the city to break through, and then were chased and killed by him.

As for whether Haizhou City will break through, Turge is not very sure, but there is always hope and opportunity, the soldiers and civilians of Haizhou City may not be able to stand the nervousness, or because they are out of ammunition and food, as long as the siege continues, they will always break through.

But how long is this time, ten days, a month, half a year? Turg really can't say, because last time Jinzhou was surrounded for more than half a year, and in the end, it was really exhausted, Zu Dashou even ate up the people in the city before surrendering, which had to make him a little worried, if you Haizhou people also insist like this, Turg really doesn't know what to do.

But he only has persistence, he can only persevere, he will fail to go back, there is still hope for persistence, and he only hopes that this hope will receive results.

"Go, go, call all the masters above Jialazhangjing to come to me!"

Impatient with the complaints of his minions, Turg told him to invite the other officers, and he had to agitate again, at least for ten days!

This chapter describes the causes and consequences, so that everyone can understand why the captives attacked so tenaciously. At first, they came for the son of the captive Abatai captured by Yang Chao, but then it became the coach Turg's own business, and he fell deeper and deeper step by step, and in the end he had to fight Yang Chao.
