Chapter 304: Dolgon
It is hundreds of miles away from Yongding Gate, next to the canal in Tongzhou.
This is where the camp of the Qing army is, from a distance it is the camp tent of the Qing army that cannot see the edge at a glance, the pure white and black dragon flag, the white inlaid red flag, the pure red and yellow dragon flag, the red inlaid white flag, the flags are densely packed and fluttering in the wind. The camp, which covers an area of dozens of miles, is full of eight banners of the Qing army, such as the white flag, the white flag, the red flag, and the red flag.
In the dense tent of the Qing barracks, a huge tent is extraordinarily huge, looking at its area of one or two hundred square meters, there are many large tents around it, it is obvious that this place is where the important generals of the Qing army are.
Around these tents were Qing soldiers in golden armor, and those who were familiar with the Qing military system knew that they were the soldiers and horses of the Bayala Battalion (later the Guardian Battalion), the most elite of the Manchu army.
From the end of the ninth year of Chongzhen, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army, Huang Taiji began to restructure the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty. Three elite main armies were formed, they were the Bayala Battalion (later the Guardian Battalion), the Aliha Chaoha Battalion (later the Xiao Cavalry Battalion), and the Kabush Xian Battalion (later the Forward Battalion). In addition, the Qing army also set up the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion, which was composed of old Han soldiers and had a high degree of firearms.
At this time, in the middle of the largest tent sat a young general in gilt armor, and this young general who looked to be less than thirty years old was Dolgon, one of the commanders of the southern invasion.
Sitting on his left was a forty-year-old man in red armor, this big man had a full beard and a big cake face, he was Yue Tuo, the general of Yang Wu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
This time, Dolgon was ordered by Huang Taiji, and Yang Wu's general Yue Tuo each led 40,000 troops to invade the south, Dolgon broke through the wall from Dongjiakou, Yue Tuo broke the wall from the Miyun wall Ziling and entered, and in April of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the two sides met in the Tongzhou Canal.
Yue Tuo broke through the city of Tianjin in March, captured hundreds of thousands of people, and seized nearly one million taels of silver, tens of thousands of taels of gold, as well as countless grains and livestock.
And Dolgon also broke through more than ten cities in the western part of Hebei, and captured a lot, so as soon as the two sides met, it was lively, and the generals talked and laughed loudly while drinking fine wine, and the content of the discussion was nothing more than how much money I seized in such and such a place, how much money, grain and grass I robbed, how many people I robbed, and so on.
Especially Du Du, the owner of the Red Flag, said energetically, at this moment he and Duoduo, the owner of the White Flag, were boasting to each other about their respective achievements.
"Duoduo, don't you know, after we broke through Tianjin, we found that there were treasures everywhere, gold, silver, jewelry, grain, and silk everywhere, and it took us three days to rob them. Tell you, I also robbed three beautiful, do you want me to give you one? ”
Duoduo smiled faintly, he had been active in the western part of Hebei with his brother Dolgon, and although the harvest was not as much as that of Yue Tuo, it was also a lot, but he also knew that Du Du's surname was impatient and did not want to argue with him.
Seeing that Duoduo ignored himself, Du Du grinned and felt very bored, and was about to turn his head to talk to others, when suddenly there was a commotion from the front, and a crooked and embarrassed Jia Lazhangjing stumbled in, knelt on the carpet and shouted to Du Du: "Master, the slave should die, the slave has disgraced the master." ”
Seeing the embarrassed appearance of this Jia Lazhangjing, Du Du didn't know that his men had lost the battle, so he rushed out of his seat with an arrow step, grabbed his collar and shouted, "Damn minion, what the hell is going on?" ”
Jia Lazhangjing, who was grabbed by Du Du's shirt, was paralyzed on the ground, let Du Du grab his shirt, and cried: "Master, the team of slaves is over, it's all over." This morning, the minions were ordered to go to Yongdingmen to investigate, but they encountered the resistance of the Ming army, their firearms were extremely sharp, and the minions of more than 500 people came back less than 200 people, and the minions were almost all finished."
After saying that, the Jialazhangjing collapsed to the ground and began to cry.
"What!" At first glance, the governor who heard the news only felt a tremble, and the green tendons on his forehead were rising, he had just boasted in front of others how brave his Zhenghong Banner was, but in the blink of an eye, his subordinates had such a big appearance, didn't this give himself eye medicine!
"Okay, good, you really know how to give your grandfather a long face!" Du Du's eyes were filled with anger, he let go of the big hand that was holding the placket of the other party's clothes, stretched out his foot and gave this Jia Lazhangjing is leg, and kicked this Jiala Zhangjing into a fight.
"Come on, drag this damn slave out and behead it!"
This Jia Lazhangjing was suddenly frightened and lost his soul, and he collapsed on the ground and shouted vigorously: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life!" ”
Just when Du Du was about to kill this Jia Lazhangjing, a voice came from the side.
"Wait!"
Everyone looked back, this was the white flag lord Dolgon, only to see Dolgon groaning for a while and then walking up to this Jia Lazhangjing and slowly asked: "You said that the Ming military you encountered this morning are all firearms, and they are extremely sharp?" ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, the firearms of those Ming people are very sharp, and the minions were knocked down by their firearms before they rushed to them, and our brave martial arts are useless at all." This Jia Lazhangjing is very unwilling, they lost today in vain, they are really unjust.
"Then have you seen the banners of those Ming armies clearly?" Dolgon's expression grew grim.
This Jia Lazhangjing hurriedly replied: "The minions can see clearly, their banner has the big word "Pang" written on it!" ”
"It's written in Pang!"
Dolgon's hand clenched unconsciously, and he said word by word: "Pang Gang, that must be Pang Gang's people, and only he has such sharp firearms and combat effectiveness!" ”
Dolgon sighed, looked at the already lost Jialazhangjing and said, "Okay, Du Du, you can spare this minion's life, he was defeated at the hands of Pang Gang, and he was unjustly defeated." ”
When the word Pang Gang came from Dolgon's mouth to the ears of the generals, everyone's faces began to change. As early as last year, the name Pang Gang has been circulated among the upper echelons of the Manchu nobility, including Azig, Abatai, Amin and many other generals have suffered a big loss on Pang Gang, and Amin is even more important because of this, not to be deposed as a commoner, they want not to remember the name Pang Gang!
