Chapter 114: Midnight Meeting
H2> Manchu men are soldiers when they go out, and they are people when they enter, and men have to be assessed in the army from the age of ten, and they are a period every three years. At first, it was a defender, then it was upgraded to infantry armor, and then it was a real cavalry, called a horse armor, after which it was qualified to become the most elite white-armored elite soldier. Therefore, even ordinary infantry armor is mostly veterans who have been in the army for seven or eight years, and they don't know how many tests and tempering they have experienced on the battlefield, so they have created the courage and elite of the Manchu army.
Although the land outside the customs is vast and fertile, the living environment is very bad, and the limited medical conditions have caused the limited number of people in the Eight Banners. Relying on the fierce combat power, it is not a problem to defeat the Mongol and Ming armies outside the pass, but it is unrealistic to launch a large-scale war and seize more territory and resources. Therefore, Huang Taiji gradually established the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army and the Eight Banners of the Han Army to enrich the military strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the Eight Banners of the Han Army, which grew stronger and stronger over the years. In a series of battles outside the Guan, a large number of Ming soldiers and Han Chinese became prisoners of the Qing army, and the Qing army plundered a large number of people from the repeated invasion wars.
Huang Taiji changed the original policy of Nurhachi slaughtering, and instead reorganized these captives into the Eight Banners of the Han Army to become civilian households, and selected their elite to enter the Eight Banners Army of the Han Army, which also promoted the expansion of the military strength of the Manchu Dynasty.
The two white flags have benefited a lot. Dolgon began his expedition at the age of fourteen, and at the age of seventeen he took charge of the Zhengbai Banner, and over the years, he had already managed the two white flags as his own power. Up to now, the two white flags of Gushan Ezhen, Mele Zhangjing, Jiala Zhangjing, and even the thirty-six Niu Lu Zhangjing who commanded the army have all been replaced by their own henchmen. These people also ensured that in the unpredictable political situation, the two white flags would stand firmly on Dorgon's side no matter what the circumstances.
And many of the generals of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were defeated generals under Dolgon, and Dolgon deliberately enveloped them, so his prestige in the Eight Banners of the Han Army was also increasing day by day.
After the first military meeting after Huang Taiji arrived at the front, the Dorgon brothers returned to the station of the two white flags. The nobles and generals of the two white flags had been waiting in the big tent for a long time. But after the meeting, Dolgon drove them all back, and ordered that the city should be besieged immediately according to the holy decree, and that nothing else should be disturbed.
The generals looked at each other, but they also sensed that Dolgon was not in a good mood, so they kowtowed and retired.
When everyone retreated, Duoduo kicked down the wooden pier in the tent with a hateful kick, "Hai Lanzhu, this girl, when will her body be so good that she will be healed at this juncture, if it weren't for her body healing, would the fourth child be in such a hurry to come from Shengjing?" ”
Dolgon glared, "What nonsense are you talking about, Concubine Chen is Yu'er's sister and our relative, how can anyone slander their own relatives like this!" ”
Duoduo rolled his eyes, "Relative? In this palace, I only recognize Sister Yu'er and the queen's mother, and Concubine Chen is a villain. Brother, since she entered the palace, how many grievances have the queen mother and Sister Yu'er suffered, and even the child's washing can be said to be exempt, I can't afford this kind of relative! ”
Dolgon was furious and threatened to pick up the horsewhip on the desk and whip Dordor, but Azig hurriedly grabbed him. "Fourteenth brother, what relative? Wasn't Amin one of the four great Baylors of the year? Isn't Uncle Shulhazy the brother of his father? ”
At the end of the sentence, Dorgon lost his temper and threw his whip to the ground. "That being said, our brothers themselves understand in their hearts that the fifteenth child hangs on the edge all day long, and the fourth brother doesn't say it, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't settle accounts after the autumn, and don't invite death for the sake of a momentary profit."
The three brothers slowly sat down, looked at each other, and their faces relaxed. But Duoduo didn't pay any attention to what had just happened. Walked straight to Dolgon's bookcase and smiled, "Brother, I know you're a lot more careful now, but I just have this temper, and I can't change it." But I think you are also a little too cautious, as soon as the fourth child entered the account today, I found that his face was much worse than when he was in Shengjing before. Calculate the age, he is now almost fifty years old, and he is intoxicated with fat powder all day long, and his body is not as good as day by day. ”
Azig's face also revealed excitement, and he deliberately walked to the curtain of the big tent and looked out carefully, and then walked back to Dorgon and Duoduo, "I also saw it this time, the fourth child's face is very bad!" ”
"Is there any news from Sheng Jing?" Dolgon was a little uneasy, "Although the fourth child is ruthless, he is indeed a genius. You and I all know what the country left behind by my father Khan, the fourth child has expanded his territory so much in the past few years, and his people may not be as good as my father Khan, but even I have to admire it in this political matter. He has a lot on his mind, don't deliberately make this appearance to confuse us. ”
Listening to Dorgon's words, Duoduo and Azig also nodded with deep feeling. "That's true, but there's really no news from Sheng Jing. Mu Shiha led people to block the Guanju Palace, and even the imperial doctor was stationed in the palace and was not allowed to go out without authorization, so it was really difficult to inquire about the situation inside. Yu'er also specially sent someone to send the news that it was indeed true that Concubine Chen was in good health. However, it is difficult for us to find out any news around the fourth child. ”
"But!" Azig thought about it, but said something again, which surprised Dolgon. "Yu'er's henchman Su Mo'er once sent a message to my Fujin. The original meaning was 'The emperor is concerned about Concubine Chen, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in front of the army for a long time, please be ready to continue to lead the army.' ’”
What does Da Yu'er mean by this? Could it be that Concubine Chen's condition is not stable, or did Da Yu'er get some news that others didn't know and was inconvenient to send? Dorgon was a little unsure for a moment.
While the three of them were pondering, Nagu walked into the tent with a report and whispered a word in Dolgon's ear, and Dolgon nodded, "Tell him, meet by the wall tonight." ”
……
The evening breeze is howling, and it is still the weather of midsummer in Guannai, but in this Jinzhou line, the evening breeze is still cool and comfortable. The two white flag camps and the yellow flag camp live next to each other, and the joint camp for more than ten miles falls into a silent night at night, and only the lights are still bright.
A pair of night patrol soldiers constantly passed through the wall between the two white flags and the yellow flag, and there were horse teams outside the camp to constantly patrol, and the farther place was the patrol range of the Qing army's sentry horses, layer after layer, firmly blocking every move around the camp.
He Luohui was dressed in cotton armor inlaid with copper nails, and walked from the depths of the camp with more than a dozen personal guards. Tonight is his night, every time, he brings some personal entourage everywhere to check the omissions, and the top and bottom of the Zhenghuang Banner also know the strictness of this Lord He Luohui, so every time he is on duty, he always cheers up the spirit of twelve.
Walking to the wall, He Luo would peek at the camp with two white flags, at this time, in this area, there were no night patrol soldiers with two white flags, but on the high-rise building next to him, there were always two soldiers. In addition, by the wall, there stood a white flag soldier who seemed to be a little embarrassed and seemed to be dozing.
He Luohui seemed to be a little tired, and when he got here, he stopped walking, and one of his relatives handed over the kettle he carried with him. He Luohui took two sips of water and pointed to the back camp not far away, where the heavy grain and grass of the Zhenghuang Banner gathered, "You go there to have a look, tell the commander over there, the weather is dry and dry, you must be careful to use the fire candle." Today I am a little tired, so I will rest here. ”
The guards said yes and walked straight to the baggage camp. When they were far away, He Luohui breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the wall, and leaned against a huge log.
At this time, the soldier, who was only separated by a wall from He Luohui and seemed to be dozing, suddenly said, "Mr. came on time!" ”
He Luo would sigh softly, "The prince's expectation is good, King Su still didn't adopt the minion's construction in the end!" ”
"God gave Hauge such a great opportunity, but he didn't seize it, you can't be blamed for this!" The soldier wrenched the iron helmet on his head upward, revealing Dorgon's face.
He Luohui nodded, "The emperor's sudden arrival this time is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if King Su is willing to gamble, the odds of winning can be at least sixty percent." ”
"That's right, but if this king is Haoge, this king will not listen to your strategy!" Dolgon said quietly.
"Why?" He Luo will be a little moved.
"If you follow your strategy, kill this king, kill a cadre of generals with two white flags, and then force the emperor to abdicate. With Hauge's influence today, he will never be able to control the Eight Banners. Maybe he can control the current situation for the time being, but next, the Eight Banners will inevitably fall into division, and the next thing is to collapse without a fight, so that the Ming army will pick up the ready-made advantages in vain. And if Hauge wants to dominate the Eight Banners again, it will inevitably take a lot of time. And the strategy of our Manchu Qing Dynasty to unify Liaodong will inevitably be delayed because ......! ”
"So, if I were Haoge, I would do it when the overall situation was decided, and maybe I could blame the Ming army, hahaha!" Dorgon suddenly laughed insolently.
He Luohui was a little depressed for a moment, but when he heard Dolgon's words, his heart moved, "Could it be that the prince decided to ......?" ”
Dolgon smiled and shook his head slightly, "This king is different from Hauge, Hauge needs to make a surprise move to get back to the current situation, but even if this king can achieve his goal with a dignified strategy, why bother with such a risky move?" ”
"The prince is eloquent, He Luo will be taught!" He Luo will say sincerely. "If the prince does not give up, the slave is willing to die!"
Only then did Dorgon turn his head, a knowing smile on his face.
"There is a matter that the slave wants to report to the prince to learn. Recently, Fan Wencheng, Xifu, Ganglin and others are investigating something, it seems that there is something about the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners secretly dismissing the soldiers to return to their hometowns, including some people from the two white flags, and ask the prince to prepare early! ”
"The gentleman is willing to belong to me, and this is the greatest good news, and the king does not care about the rest. Fan Wencheng didn't have to worry about the things they investigated. ”
"But ......?" He Luohui was stunned, "Fan Wencheng is the emperor's direct minister after all, and about the two white flags, the prince should be careful!" ”
"Haha!" Dolgon chuckled lightly and looked at He Luohui with an elegant look, "With the intelligence of Mr., can't you still taste the meaning of what this king just said?" ”R1152
