Huang Taiji found that the sound of fire behind him gradually disappeared, and knew that Juehua Island had probably given up the pursuit, so he slowed down his horse. ∈ ♀ top novel,

Tang Gu chased after him and said, "Great Khan, why didn't you run away?" If you don't run, you'll die. ”

Seeing his fourth brother so flustered, and thinking about the scene when Nuer Haqi issued an order to crusade against the Ming Court some time ago, the brothers rushed to go on the expedition, it was really like a world away.

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "What are you running, the defenders of Juehua Island didn't chase after you." ”

Tang Gu listened attentively, except for the sound of people shouting and neighing horses, there was no other sound, his heart was slightly settled, and said: "Great Khan, our army has collapsed, what should we do next?" ”

Huang Taiji frowned and pondered, but did not answer immediately.

Tang Gu snorted for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Great Khan, will we ...... Will it be like Fu Jian? ”

Fu Jian was the monarch of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Later Qin during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and personally led a million army to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but as a result, the army collapsed in the Battle of Weishui, and Fu Jian died and the country was destroyed.

The Nuer Ha family was vulgar and originally didn't know this allusion. However, Fan Wencheng, a hardcore traitor, persuaded the old slave to let his children and grandchildren read more books in order to better manage the slaves. It's a pity that Nu'er Hachi's children and grandchildren like to kill people and set fires, and don't like to read, so Fan Wencheng told them historical stories, especially military historical stories. Tang Gu listened to Fan Wencheng talk about this history, and naturally knew that Fu Jian's fate was not good.

Huang Taiji laughed and said, "This little failure can't beat us back to our original shape." Father Khan is wise, he will not use all his strength every time he fights, because he is afraid of repeating Fu Jian's mistakes. This time the soldiers are drawn out of ten, and if it is time to gamble on the fortune of the country. We can draw 10 out of 10! The barbarians have only destroyed 10% of our strength, and we still have 90% of our military strength. Besides, the biggest difference between us and Fu Jian is that we don't have the problem of the rear, and the forces of Fu Jian's rear are staggered, and it is very unstable; And in our rear, the barbarians were slaughtered, except for our Qing people. Who else? Therefore, when Fu Jian lost power, all forces competed to defect, and naturally there was no good result. ”

"But the firearms of the barbarian army are so powerful that we can't beat them. What if the barbarians attack Shengjing? ”

"I wish they had attacked Shengjing," Huang Taiji said through gritted teeth, "then we can take revenge." The Ming army's reliance was nothing more than their firearms, and we were defenseless when attacking Juehua Island, so we would naturally suffer a great loss. But I entered Shengjing. We have weapons that have a longer range than theirs. ”

"Could it be that the Great Khan is talking about the bed crossbow and trebuchet that we originally seized?"

"No, it's ballistas and catapults. Ever since the defeat on Kyaw Wah Island, I have been thinking about how to restrain the barbarians' long-range firearms. Finally I remembered the bed crossbow and trebuchet that we had put on the shelf, the bed crossbow had a range of 800 paces, and the trebuchet had a range of 350 steps, far surpassing the barbarian's cannons and muskets. It's a pity that although those two things have a long range, they are amazingly heavy and not easy to carry. So I thought about how to improve it, and finally I came up with the idea of putting wheels on bed crossbows and trebuchets. In this way, these two weapons could not only defend the city, but also serve as weapons for cavalry raids. ”

Tang Gu was so happy that he patted his thigh and said: "The Great Khan is wise, with these two weapons, we are not afraid of the barbarian Ming army." ”

"It's not enough," Huang Taiji shook his head. "Ballistas and catapults, although powerful, do not work well, so we need to strengthen the training of soldiers. Most of the original Liaodong defenders used old-fashioned firearms, and the range was only fifty to one hundred paces, so the range of our soldiers' bows and arrows was 80 to 120 paces was sufficient. I've seen it. We have a strongbow in our arsenal with a range of more than 200 paces. After returning to Shengjing, we completely eliminated those ordinary bows and arrows with too short range, and replaced them with strong bows with 200 paces. In this way, we won't suffer much loss when we shoot at the defenders of Juehua Island. ”

Tang Gu nodded and said, "If this is the case, we will not be too defeated against the defenders of Shangjuehua Island." ”

"Therefore, we must carry out the last orders of the Mandate of Heaven Khan as soon as possible. In addition, we have to find another way to get rid of the general surnamed Zhu on Juehua Island. ”

"Does the Great Khan mean to send a few killers to Juehua Island, and then ......" Tang Gu's hand went down and made a head-killing action.

"No, no, the killers we originally sent, like our nephews Dudu and Nikan, and our ninth brother Babutai, are all planted in the hands of the barbarians. I think the barbarian Ming Ting has been prepared for a long time, and it is very difficult to get it. However, I have a strategy, with the character of the barbarian emperor, I must be fooled. ”

"Old eight, what a clever plan, let's talk about it." It was Ah Defeat who spoke, he saw the banner of the white flag in the chaos, and knew that the owner of the white flag was Huang Taiji, so he rushed over.

Huang Taiji's face was uncertain, and Tang Gu hurriedly pulled Ah Defeat's arm and motioned him to change his words.

Now the ancient Tang Dynasty admired Huang Taiji so much that he threw himself to the ground. Gathering the hearts of the defeated soldiers in one day shows that he has excellent military command ability; And the ordnance reform just planned shows that he has a long-term vision. Relying on Huang Taiji, Jiannu was able to survive the crisis of this defeat on Juehua Island. Moreover, Huang Taiji's strength is the second-to-last in the Eight Banners, lifting him to the throne of the Great Khan, in order to consolidate his position, he will definitely try his best to win over other brothers, follow him, and there will be soup to drink. And if you let that kid become the Great Khan, he and his two half-brothers will control the three banners respectively, and they will definitely exclude others, not to mention drinking soup, it will be good to be able to save their lives.

Ah Yu was very eye-catching, and hurriedly changed his words: "Great Khan, it was a slip of the tongue just now." ”

Only then did Huang Taiji open his mouth and say his strategy: "Kill." ”

"Kill?" Ah Defeat and Tang Gu looked at each other.

"Let's bribe the officials of the Ming Dynasty, try our best to praise the defenders of Juehua Island, and call him a fierce rival of the Qing Dynasty. In this way, the Barbarian Emperor will let him lead his troops to attack our Great Qing, and then we will set a trap and lead him into the Jedi. Do you remember how the Heavenly Mandate Khan killed the famous Ming general Li Rusong? Isn't that what you do? It's just that the strength of the Heavenly Mandate Khan was weak at that time, and he had to rely on the strength of the Mongolian barbarians. Now the Qing Dynasty is strong and strong, and it is enough to have us. ”

Ah Yu and Tang Gu nodded together, Huang Taiji's plan is not poisonous. It seems that this time, the Ming Emperor is decided.

Tang Gu said: "But it's really heart-wrenching that the Qing Dynasty lost so many soldiers." Without four or five years of recuperation, don't think about starting a large-scale war. ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "No, you must fight, you will fight immediately." Even if you cut back on food and clothing, you have to fight. However, it is not an attack on the Ming Dynasty. In the past four years, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not move us, we will not move the Ming Dynasty. We can move, and we must move, it is the Mongols. ”

Ah Yu asked suspiciously: "Father Khan, uh, it is the Mandate of Heaven Khan once said that if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will not fight." Before fighting, you must calculate whether you are sure or not. What benefits can be gained, there is no certainty and no benefits of the battle must not be fought. This is how our Qing Dynasty is getting richer and richer, why do you sweat a lot......"

"This is not the same as in the past, and I have three reasons to fight Mongolia. First, if we are newly defeated, the news will definitely reach Mongolia. They are fighting hard, and if they have this opportunity, will they let it go? If we attack first. They are caught off guard and will definitely be beaten by us. The crisis of the Qing Dynasty was naturally resolved. Second, this attack on the Ming Dynasty failed, and the Qing Dynasty had doubts about their own strength. In the past, the Qing Dynasty's combat attrition reached 20%, and it would not collapse, but as long as the battle attrition of the barbarian Ming army and the Mongolian cavalry reached 10% or even half of the achievement, it would collapse on its own, why is this? It is relied on as the spirit of victory in the past. Our soldiers are convinced. Even if they die in battle, their brothers will avenge them. But now it is not possible, just a few people died, and the defeat was so miserable, which was unimaginable before. We must use victory to recast the martial soul of the Qing Dynasty. Re-cultivate the spirit of indomitable and dare to win. The third is the food crisis that Destiny Khan once said. This year's spring famine has taken shape, although we have barbarian meat to eat, but after eating up the barbarians, there will be no one to work for us, so we must go to our neighbors outside the Ming Dynasty to borrow food. ”

Ah Yu and Tang Gu nodded violently again, since Huang Taiji held great power and revealed his true colors, they have become kowtow worms.

Ah Defeat pointed to the defeated soldiers all over the field and said, "What about these people? They are the soldiers of the defeated army, and they have become soldiers. If you encounter a strong enemy on the battlefield, you will definitely run away first. Shall we kill them all? ”

Tang Gu's eyes showed a look of unbearability, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of affecting Huang Taiji's judgment.

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and said, "Don't do this." We took out 60,000, and if no one could go back, it would be a bigger blow to the morale of the Qing Dynasty. Besides, most of these soldiers are our brothers' subordinates, and even if they are useless, they can also be used as a personal field when they return to Shengjing. Otherwise, Abahai's cheap maid saw that the three of us had no soldiers and no generals, so she wouldn't bully us to death. Let's write down this account first, and when the situation stabilizes, we will demote all the officers and soldiers who took the lead in escaping to slavery, and their wives and daughters will serve as camp prostitutes. As for the replenishment of troops, you don't have to worry, we can capture the raw Jurchen to replenish it. If it is not enough, it can also absorb the Mongols to supplement. However, only those Mongols who were friendly with the Qing Dynasty could be recruited, and the number could not exceed 20% of the total number. ”

Ah Defeat and Tang Gu nodded, ecstatic in their hearts. The Jurchens were the Jurchens who did not submit to the Qing Dynasty, they were barbaric by nature, infinitely powerful, accurate in riding and shooting, and were the best source of soldiers. However, he was afraid that the patriarch of the birth of the nuzhen would break with the Qing Dynasty because of the loss of the clansmen, and stabbed the Qing Dynasty in the back from time to time. Now that Huang Taiji says this, it means that he has let go of the restrictions on arresting the birth girl.

Huang Taiji suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "Let's hurry up and gather the soldiers now, we must not let them rush to Shengjing City, otherwise, whether we are seen by Abahai's cheap maid or Mao Wenlong's barbarian, we will all be in big trouble." If Abahai sees that our army is defeated, he will definitely let Dol roll to the throne early, and then they will occupy the name of righteousness, and we don't have many soldiers, what can we fight with them? If Mao Wenlong saw it, with that barbarian's military talent, how could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? ”

Ah Defeat and Tang Gu were terrified, and hurriedly led the soldiers who were still with them to collect the defeated soldiers.

In addition to the defeated soldiers, Huang Taiji also had a worry, that is, he didn't know if the group of craftsmen had escaped, and those people were the hope of Jiannu. In particular, there is one of the oldest old men, surnamed Lu, known as Lu Ban Reincarnation. If there is him, it will be easy for Jiannu to imitate and transform bed crossbows and trebuchets. Huang Taiji thought, where did Old Man Lu go?
