Chapter 292: Playing with fire and setting himself on fire

In the city of Jining, the governor is in charge.

After being busy for most of the night, Wang Pu didn't have a chance to take a nap until the early hours of the morning, but as soon as he squinted, Lu Liu hurried into the line and said loudly: "Master Hou, there is movement outside the city." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Pu hurriedly turned over and sat up, and said happily, "The Mongols really raised an army?" ”

Lu Liu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Wang Pu hurriedly said: "Let's go, take a look." ”

Hurriedly put on the dress under the service of Nen Niang and Kou Baimen, and then came to the north gate of Jining surrounded by Lu Liu and dozens of guards, stood on the arrow tower and looked out, and sure enough, he saw that the Jiannu camp outside the city had become a mess, and countless figures were rushing in the camp, and the sound of weapons crashing, scolding, and shouting was intertwined, and several camp tents had caught fire, billowing black smoke rising into the sky......

Soon, Scarface, Li Chengdong, Zheng Chenggong, and the staff officers of the General Staff Department also came to the north gate tower.

Scarface held the monocular and looked at it for a moment, and said to Wang Pu: "I didn't expect that the Mongol named Ezhe really rebelled, Master Hou, is it right now to send troops to attack Jiannu?" Or wait for the Mongols and Jiannu to fight and defeat before sending troops? ”

Wang Pu smiled and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Scarface smiled fiercely: "According to the humble opinion, of course, I will wait for the Mongols and Jiannu to fight for defeat before sending troops." ”

"That's it." Wang Pu smiled cruelly, "Let's see the show." ”

Although Wang Pu agreed to Ezhe's envoy Kuluwen in person, he only said that he would send troops "immediately" when there was chaos outside the city, and as for how long this "immediately" was, it was up to Wang Pu to have the final say.

In fact, from the very beginning, Wang Pu was planning to watch the fire from the other side.

Is there anything more wonderful in this world than watching Kennu and Tartar fight? Jiannu and Tartar fight to defeat is the result that Wang Pu is most willing to see, and cooperate with Tartar to deal with Jiannu together? Only a fool would do this, and as long as Wang Pu's head was not caught in the door, he would never make such a stupid decision.

■■■

Jining North Effect.

Dolgon stood solemnly on a hill not far from the camp of Jiannu under the support of dozens of horsemen Goshha, standing on the hill and looking down, just to be able to see the "chaotic" camp in the north of the city, at this time the camp in the north of the city can only be described as a mess, the Korqin department of the Qiaoxiang Tushetu department and the two red flags of Sakhalian are "scuffling".

Listening to the screams and fighting sounds coming from the camp, although Dolgon knew that this was acting, he still couldn't help but be a little nervous, Dolgon knew that he was playing with fire! It was a very risky decision to let the Horqin Division, Qiao Xiangtu, and the Eight Banners of the Two Red Banners fight each other.

It is completely unpredictable whether this fire will eventually burn itself or the Ming army, but where there is a choice, Dolgon will never make such a risky decision, but now Dolgon has no choice, he is now like a crazy gambler, he can only bet all his chips and Wang Pu to gamble on this.

There are only two possible outcomes for this gamble.

The first result is what Dolgon expected, that is, Wang Pu was fooled, the Ming Central Army went out of the city to attack, and as a result, it fell into the encirclement of the Mongols and the Eight Banners Army and finally annihilated, the Qing Army was defeated and won, and the Qing Kingdom will also be in a desperate situation, after eliminating Wang Pu's Ming Central Army, no one in the Southern Ming Dynasty will be able to resist the advance of the Qing Army, and the era of the Jurchen monarchy will officially come......

The second result is what Dolgon does not want to see, that is, Wang Pu was not fooled, and hid in the city to watch the fire, and then the Khalkha tribe, the Chahar tribe and the Tushetu tribe in the Simen camp who did not know the truth really began to stir up and mutiny, and finally triggered a real rebellion in the Mongolian tribes.

In fact, Dolgon knows very well that once the "rebellion" at the north gate cannot be "quelled" in a short time, then the Mongols of Chahar, Khalkha, and Tushetu will definitely rebel, which is an undoubted thing, and if things really come to that point, Dorgon's fate will be doomed, that is, playing with fire [***]!

Is it a desperate situation, or is it playing with fire [***]? Dorgon didn't know the outcome.

At this time, Dorgon is like a gambler who has made a last chip at the table, trembling and waiting for the judgment of the god of fate! Is it to win back even the original interest, or to lose it completely? That's it, it's up to this one...... Suddenly, cold sweat broke out in the palms of Dolgon's gripping the handle of his sword.

The north gate of Jining, above the city tower.

Wang Puzheng was looking through the monocular at the Jiannu camp five miles away, a hideous sneer froze at the corner of his mouth unconsciously, and suddenly turned back to the scarface beside him and said, "Scarface, what do you say Ezhe is doing now?" ”

Scarface replied without thinking: "Needless to say, of course I'm fighting with Jiannu." ”

"Nope." Wang Pu shook his head and said with a cruel smile, "Ezhe must be scolding, scolding me for treachery, scolding us Han people for not believing in our words, and completely lacking the grace that a state of etiquette should have, hehe." ”

"This ......"

Scarface doesn't know what to do.

Liu Ru on the side suddenly asked: "Master Hou, do you think that the Han nation does not need etiquette and magnanimity?" ”

"No, of course, the Han nation needs etiquette, honesty and grace." Wang Pu shook his head and said solemnly, "But the etiquette and shame we need is not the etiquette and shame full of slaves, not the tolerance and compromise of barbarians without a bottom line. ”

"Measure China's material resources and form a friendship with the country?" Liu Ru said in a condensed voice, "The person who said this should be punished." ”

Wang Pu smiled hideously and did not answer.

If there is no Wang Pu crossing, if there is no deviation in history, Jiannu will enter the Central Plains, and the entire Han nation will be completely reduced to the Manchurian clothed slaves, and then more than two hundred years later, the Jiannu woman who is pointed out by thousands of people and scolded by eternity will appear, and she will shout out grandly "Dan China's material resources, and the joy of the country".

North of Jining City, on the hill.

Dolgon's palms gripping the hilt of the knife were already wet with cold sweat, and his eyes were staring at the gate of Jining City for a moment, and he was expecting in his heart more than once, hoping that the closed city gate would suddenly open, and then the Ming Central Army would continue to open out of the city gate and participate in the "melee" outside the city. ”

But the reality is cruel, more than half an hour has passed, and the Ming army in Jining City still has no movement.

Could it be that this guy Wang Pu is treacherous? He obviously promised Ezhe, just wait for the chaos outside the city to immediately wave his army out of the city to attack, could it be that what he said doesn't count? These damn Han people are self-reliant and self-reliant, are they so untrustworthy?

Dolgon cursed Wang Pu in the most vicious Manchu language in his heart, Wang Pu categorically did not expect that he was indeed scolded for treachery and untrustworthiness, but the person who scolded him was not Ezhe, but Dolgon! At this moment, how much Dolgon hoped that Wang Pu would be a civilized man who believed in his word......

■■■

Jining North Gate, the head of the city.

Wang Pu's eyes swept over the faces of Scarface, Li Chengdong, and Zheng Chenggong, and said loudly: "Our Han nation must have etiquette and honesty, and we must emphasize faith and righteousness, but for the barbarians such as Jiannu and Tartar, these uncivilized barbarian nations do not need to talk about etiquette and honesty, let alone the word faithfulness. ”

Scarface and the others looked at Wang Pu very seriously and listened very carefully.

Wang Pu continued: "Because these barbarian people don't know what etiquette and shame are, let alone the word faith, if we tell them about etiquette and shame, they will think that our Han nation has no blood surname, and they will think that our Han nation is weak and can be bullied, and they will raise their butcher knives to slaughter our compatriots." ”

"We can't let them slaughter our fellow citizens." Zheng Chenggong said angrily, "Why don't we use a butcher's knife to kill them all?" ”

"Yes." Wang Pu said happily, "We only have two ways to deal with these barbarian peoples, one is to raise a sharper butcher's knife and slaughter them, and the other is to use the butcher's knife to conquer them, and then let them integrate into our Han nation and let them become a part of the Han nation." ”

North of Jining City, on the hill.

More than half an hour has passed, and the Ming army in Jining City still has no movement, Wang Pu is like a thousand-year-old turtle in the deep water abyss, so calm that Dolgon gritted his teeth but there was nothing to do!

Hold your breath, be sure to hold your breath!

Soon, Wang Pu is about to send troops!

Dolgon desperately hinted at himself in his heart, the expression on his face was as cold as ice, and the Goshkhas standing next to him had no idea that their master's heart had already turned upside down.

"Report ......"

The mournful sound of the trumpet suddenly sounded from the hill.

Dolgon's heart jumped, and when he looked down, he saw a Goshha rushing up from the foot of the mountain, although it was still far away, but Dolgon saw a clear look of panic on the face of the Goshha, and Dolgon's heart immediately sank to the Nine Hells, and the hole cards were finally about to be revealed? Is the judgment of the God of Gamblers finally coming to an end?

"Master!" The Goshha hurried to Dolgon, fell to his knees, and said in a trembling voice, "Oh no......"

Dolgon took a deep breath of cold air, and his tone was a little strangely calm: "Speak! ”

Goshha said in a trembling voice: "The Khalkha Division, the Tushetu Division, and the Chahar Department of the big camps in the north of the city, west of the city, and south of the city suddenly began to stir up, and now they are attacking the Eight Banners Battalion, and there are also many small tribes in the four tribes of Horqin that have begun to stir up, and they are frantically attacking the Eight Banners of our Great Qing Kingdom. ”

Dolgon had no choice but to let the Korqin tribe Qiaojiao Tushetu launch a rebellion, which finally led to bad results.

The Tushetu, Khalkha and Chahar tribes, who had lost their khans, did not know the truth, and after suffering in restlessness and uneasiness for more than half an hour, a group of Chahar Mongols finally rebelled, and soon, this turmoil swept through the entire camp in the west of the city, and then spread to the camp in the south of the city and the camp in the north of the city.

"Hoo ......"

Dorgon let out a long sigh of relief, and the results were finally revealed.

Although it was not the result that Dolgon expected, but at this moment, Dolgon's heart was also full of peace, in fact, he had long known that this would be the result, the previous expectations and uneasiness were just a fluke, the miracle in his dream did not happen after all, Dolgon finally lost the bet, and the arsonist must [***]!

"Herald ......" Dolgon took a breath and began to order calmly, "All battalions and eight banners of the army will cooperate with the various departments of Horqin to immediately exterminate the rebels of all departments, kill them all, and leave no chickens and dogs!" ”

By now, Dorgon knew that his last chance had been lost.

The Qing army will never have a chance to defeat the Ming army, and the Qing kingdom will soon fall apart, and the only thing Dolgon can do now is to bury the Mongols outside Jining and fight for an ideal habitat for the Jurchens.

Dolgon's order, the remaining less than 30,000 Eight Banner soldiers immediately pounced on the restless Khalkha, Tushetu, and Chahar Mongols like tigers descending from the mountain, and the Mongols of Khalkha, Tushetu, and Chahar were leaderless and could only fight on their own, but they were numerous, and their troops were more than twice as large as the Jurchens, and although the Jurchens had an absolute advantage, it was difficult to defeat the Mongols in a short time.

The Korqin Fourth Division was soon also forced into a melee, and Dolgon's original intention was to hope that the Korqin Fourth Division and the Jurchens would join forces to solve the Khalkha, Tushetu and Chahar Divisions, and then free up their hands to deal with the Horqin Division, so that the Jurchens would be able to win the victory.

If the Ming army had not been able to retreat, Dolgon might have been able to escape back to the gate with a considerable part of the Jurchens.

But the situation was out of control from the beginning, and many small tribes that originally belonged to the Chahar tribe and were later assigned to the Horqin tribe by the Huang Taiji and Dolgon brothers defected and joined the rebels, after all, these Mongols still had the blood of Genghis Khan, the god of war, in their bodies, and the pride of the golden family was not so easy to forget.

A scuffle finally broke out between the Jiannu and the Mongols outside Jining, and this time it was a real scuffle, not acting.

■■■

The north gate of Jining, above the city tower.

"Strange, so weird!" Zheng Chenggong, who was holding a telescope to monitor the Jiannu camp, suddenly shouted, "The Jiannu and Tartars outside the city have been fighting for more than two hours, and it stands to reason that people are almost dead, why does this melee seem to have become more intense than before, what's going on?" ”

Scarface quickly raised his binoculars when he heard this, looked at it for a moment and wondered: "Yes, this matter is new, it is estimated that there are fifty or sixty thousand people stationed in the entire camp in the north of the city of Jiannu, how many of these fifty or sixty thousand people can be left in the two hours of melee?" Even if he hadn't died, it was estimated that he would have escaped a long time ago, but looking at this posture, there are still sixty or seventy thousand people fighting! ”
