Chapter 533: Hind Hand
Hong Chengchou sighed slightly, how to win him over?
If the only person on the Manchu side who can pose a threat to themselves is him-that's right, Zu Dashou, who is now stationed in Liaoyang City!
Zu Dashou lived in Liaodong and was originally the largest warlord in Liaodong. Since Yuan Dudu's death, Chongzhen has entrusted almost all Liao affairs to him, and Zu Dashou's strength has almost doubled. Now Ningyuan and Guangning have returned to tension, and the Ming Dynasty has also died, but the appeal of Zu Dashou is still there, in the past year, from the direction of Xuanfu and Datong through the direction of Qin Mongolia to Zu Dashou of the original Ming border army has tens of thousands of people.
Fortunately, the system implemented by the tension in Liaodong was not attractive to the old warlords of the Ming Dynasty, so they rushed to Zu Dashou. After all, in the eyes of the old warlords of the border army, although the strength of the Manchu Qing was not comparable to that of the Tuanshan Army, it was obviously much stronger than Li Zicheng, the peasant leader and the "Emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom" -- among the old warlords of the Ming Dynasty, some were willing to surrender to Li Zicheng, while those with more "vision" traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge in Zu Dashou......
Soon, Hong Chengchou took his thoughts back, and he secretly thought to himself: Let's take one step at a time, this time the Tuanshan army was wiped out first, and with the aftermath of the great victory, I think that the ancestor Dashou can only take refuge on his side!
Hong Chengchou turned his gaze to Geng Zhongming, his expression was a little closer than just now, and he said with a smile: "The Queen Mother left Azig in North Korea to obey the orders of this Taishi, but in fact, she had the intention of killing people with a knife. If you can't even see this, this master is not worthy of sitting in the current position! ”
Geng Zhongming was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Please also ask the Taishi to solve the doubts for the last general." ”
Hong Chengchou nodded, and said with a smile: "Previously, the Queen Mother killed Dolgon by thunderbolt and abolished Duoduo, which has caused an uproar among the Jurchen princes and ministers. If you kill Azig who is not a person from Dolgon, I'm afraid that everyone in the Jurchens will be in danger! Therefore, the Queen Mother wanted to borrow the hand of the Taishi to get rid of Azig, so that it would not leave the impression of murder on the Jurchen nobles. ”
As soon as Hong Chengchou's words landed, Geng Zhongming realized that Azig was just an outcast...... Now, although the Han military banner is under the "wise leadership" of Hong Taishi, its status has been greatly improved. But if the Han people ride on the heads of the Jurchens to and pee, then it is really too young, too simple Tucson and does not understand politics!
Geng Zhongming thought about it, anyway, it was really a happy thing to have the Jurchens in front of him as cannon fodder this time, so he showed a smile on his face again, and said to Hong Chengchou flatteringly: "The master is wise." Well, under the wise leadership of the Grand Master, it will take time. It is not impossible for our Han military flag to completely surpass the Jurchens! ”
Hong Chengchou sneered and said lightly: "In time? Hum! Just this time, after Ben Taishi defeated the Tuanshan Army, his prestige must be as high as the sky, and when he saw that the Jurchen princes and ministers were lifting shoes for Ben Taishi! ”
Geng Zhongming thought to himself, could it be that this Taishi Hong had taken too much spring medicine last night, how could he say such a big thing? Now that the field is fighting against the Tuanshan Army, there is no hope of victory at all? But he just thinks about it, how dare he say it?
After complimenting Hong Chengchou for a few words. Geng Zhongming still felt that it was too small to go out of the city and defeat the Tuanshan army and field in such a way. So he opened his mouth and said: "Taishi Rongyu, the last general thinks that now that the Tuanshan army is in full swing, it is better to avoid it-"
Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell silent. The atmosphere was a little dull, and after a long time, Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed. He said in a calm tone: "The Tuanshan Army is fighting in the field, how can this Taishi not know?" Since I did not retreat but chose to fight the decisive battle with that tension with the whole army, the reason is very simple, because this battle is already a sure victory for my Qing Dynasty! ”
"Sure?!" Geng Zhongming repeated, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
60,000 Qing troops against the 40,000 regimental mountain army with great combat strength. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the Qing army to win steadily, and in terms of the battle loss ratio of the Tuanshan Army to two or one to three, it must have at least 120,000 or even 150,000 troops to defeat the Tuanshan Army.
More than 100,000 troops...... There are more than 70,000 Qing troops in this Nima Korean Kingdom, and only 60,000 people are gathered in Kaesong.
Geng Zhongming thought about it again, if it was said that Taishi Hong had a backhand, it could only be Kong Youde. However, Kong Youde did not have many troops at all, and the Han army banners under his command were all under his command......
Zu Dashou?
Impossible, although Zu Dashou had tens of thousands of troops, he was guarding Liaoyang City and did not dare to move at all.
Jurchens and Mongols?
It can't be either. In addition to the white flag of Azig and the inlaid white flag, the other Manchu Eight Banners have long been withdrawn to Shenyang, and the status of the Mongolian Eight Banners has been greatly improved now because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Bulbutai and the Mongols, so how can they come to Korea to fill people's lives?
It can't be a heavenly soldier, right......
Geng Zhongming's face was full of doubt, and he was about to open his mouth to ask, Hong Chengchou looked at the hour, and then spoke: "You go to the quasi-military war, it will be a bitter battle later." The combat effectiveness of the Tuanshan Army is well known to the Taishi, you and Azig will drag them as much as possible, and you don't have to know the rest of the things, when the time comes, you will see the means of the Taishi! ”
After a pause, Hong Chengchou continued: "Now our army is pouring out, it is precisely because the artillery of the Tuanshan Army cannot be adjusted now, if the Tuanshan Army has artillery, even if there are more men and horses, this Taishi is not sure that it will be able to defeat ......."
Hearing this last sentence, Geng Zhongming's heart was very heavy, it seems that Taishi Hong is not an arrogant person. 60,000 people have no chance of winning against the 40,000 people of the Tuanshan Army at all, and Hong Taishi insists on doing so, so there must be a backhand. However, if the hundreds of cannons of the Tuanshan Army appeared on the battlefield, Hong Taishi's rear hand would not be sure, but now it is different, if the war starts now, the Tuanshan Army will not have heavy artillery!
Geng Zhongming's curiosity was aroused, he wanted to know what Hong Chengchou's "back hand" was, which could destroy 40,000 regiments of mountain troops in one fell swoop, it must be an extremely terrifying reinforcement in number and combat power, right?
Geng Zhongming wanted to ask what was going on, but when the words came to his lips, he finally held back, and it was better not to ask what he shouldn't ask. Thinking of this verse, he immediately said aloud: "The last general is commanded!" Then he bowed, turned around and walked out of the Chinese army tent quickly.
Looking at the back of Geng Zhongming's departure, Hong Chengchou's eyes deepened - this battle determines the national fortunes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and also determines his future, can he win a big victory as he imagined? (To be continued.) )
