727 to the south

Facing the cheers of his subordinates and the congratulations of his son, as the central figure who received all this glory, the founding monarch of the Qing Empire, who was tall and strong, did not even leave his original name in history, but turned the common name "Huang Taiji" into his own exclusive noun "Huang Taiji", but he was still calm, and when he heard the words, he only turned his head to look at the side, a middle-aged man in his fifties:

"What does my brother think?"

-- After the death of the old Khan king Nurhachi, the original system was to be ruled by the four major beylers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter several years of open and secret fighting, Amin and Mang Gultai were removed one after another, and only one Daishan remained. Although Huang Taiji had already established his authority to sit alone in the south, he was still polite to his brother, the eldest of the brothers, and who had always been quite deferential to him.

And Dai Shan is also very clear about his status and identity, as well as the reason why Huang Taiji is the only one who keeps him. The attitude towards Huang Taiji was extremely respectful, and when he heard the words, he immediately bowed down and said:

"Hudun Rabbit is dead, the Mongolian people will not be troubled from now on, and the grassland desert will be calmed, which is the work of the Great Khan!"

Hearing Dai Shandu say this, Huang Taiji's face was slightly better, but before he could speak again, a yin and yang strange voice came from the side:

"It's a pity that we only defeated a group of poor ghosts, and the cattle and sheep we grabbed were also few, and they couldn't withstand the consumption of this army...... If I go back like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year. ”

Upon hearing these frustrating words, Hauge next to him was furious, but when he turned his head and saw the bold speaker, he just gritted his teeth and didn't dare to speak.

- Although this guy who dared to blow up in front of Emperor Taiji was three years younger than him, only twenty-two years old this year, he was his out-and-out uncle in terms of generation. And whether it is the strength of Niu Lu in his hands, or his identity in the Eight Banners, he is far stronger than him. Even in terms of feats in foreign warfare, Hauge has always been able to silence him.

Of course, this person is the fourteenth son of Nurhachi, the lord of the white flag, and Aixin Jueluo? Dolgon. This is an extremely smart guy, not to mention anything else, he can mix his head under a ruthless and powerful monarch like Huang Taiji, he doesn't know how to bend and stretch, and he can't do it without considerable skills in observing words and colors.

For example, this time, although Dorgon's tone and words were not very respectful, Huang Taiji did not care about his rudeness, but nodded slightly:

"What Murgen Dai Qing said is very true, although this battle was won, our predicament has not been resolved."

This sentence really surprised Hauge - Father Khan was not angry? He didn't dare to provoke Dolgon, but it didn't mean that his own father couldn't. You must know that Mang Gurtai, who was one of the four major Baylors, was often punished by his father Khan for saying the wrong thing, or just because of his "disrespectful attitude". Although Dolgon's identity is respected, it is almost worse than the third Bel Mang Gurtai Ke of the Zhenglan Banner back then, why is his father Khan so tolerant of him?

Noticing his surprise, the young white flag master couldn't help but have a sneer on his face - he actually said what the Great Khan wanted to express, and he was helping the Great Khan build a ladder, and he couldn't even see this, sure enough, the tiger father and the dog!

Sure enough, Huang Taiji continued Dorgon's topic:

"Last year's harvest was not good, and the operation to defeat the Dongjiang Army and pacify Liaodong was a failure, and it also cost ten Baylors and many elites. After that, there was no rest for the whole winter...... Whether it is personnel or soldiers, food and weapons, the loss is too great. ”

When this matter was mentioned, the faces of all the high-level people of Houjin present were extremely ugly-although Huang Taiji deliberately avoided mentioning that terrible opponent, how could they ignore it in their hearts!

Houjin has always used war to feed the war, taking supplies and supplies from the enemy, and even relying on robbery, but in Lushunkou last year, many people died and nothing was gained, and the loss was too great.

"If we can't find a place to make up for it, we won't have a good time in the future...... Although the grassland desert was pacified by this dispatch of troops, the materials obtained were very small, and they were not enough to make up for our losses last year. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji slowly turned around, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and pointed to the south:

"So we're going to fight south, and only south has what we need!"

"Break through the barrier again and attack the Ming Kingdom!"

Dolgon then clearly called out Huang Taiji's next goal, which had obviously been agreed upon a long time ago. But the Houjin generals looked at each other, but their faces showed a bit of struggle.

- If they had heard that they were going to attack the Southern Ming Kingdom in the past, they would never have hesitated so much, and they ran faster than anyone else, lest they would fall behind and grab less. But now, after that nightmare winter, they are much more "sane".

After a while, Dai Shan, who was still the oldest and had the biggest face in front of Huang Taiji, whispered everyone's worries:

"The armies of the Ming Kingdom are not worried, but only those green-skinned ......"

- The greenskin is terrible! This is the unanimous view of all the members of the Aixin Jueluo family present. How could they know so clearly? Because everyone got together and sent troops to avenge Ten Belle!

Xiao Lang's killing of the Derge class in the battle was just a matter of convenience for the Qiong Navy, as natural as kicking away a stone in the way. But for the Houjin group, this is a great shame that must not be tolerated--Nurhachi's sixteen sons, except for their own internal strife and accidental death, have never been damaged on the battlefield before, let alone killed by the most despised Ming army.

Recalling how excited Xiao Lang was after Xiao Lang was injured, combined with the arrogance and arrogance cultivated by the Ming army since Nurhachi started the army with the "Seven Hatreds", and the arrogance and arrogance cultivated under the spirit of winning and undefeated for more than ten years, you can probably imagine how the entire Aixin Jueluo family was furious at that time.

The shame of blood, of course, can only be repaid with blood. With a powerful monarch like Huang Taiji, it is impossible for anyone in the Eight Banners to stay out of this matter. The bannermen and nobles sent their best warriors to form a raid force. It's not okay to attack head-on, even if you sneak attack secretly, you have to kill all those hateful greenskins!

When Pang Yu and Xie Xi and others were suffering in Lushunkou before, they were deeply disgusted by the continuous harassment of the Houjin soldiers on the island. But they didn't think much about it—those Houjin soldiers didn't fall from the sky. It's not a game either.,A batch of monsters will refresh when they're dead.。 Every Houjin soldier who can appear on the Lushun Peninsula is actually a brave man who has been carefully selected from the Eight Banners and has at least five years of experience in battle formations.

Knowing that they would not be able to return after they went, knowing that the enemy they had to deal with had terrible weapons, and that they had killed a large number of their clansmen and peers, they still dared to sit in small rows and canoes, carry only the least provisions and equipment in the coldest and harsh winter climates, and go to the peninsula without rear support to find an opportunity to assassinate the commander of the Greenskin Army—such warriors were also the most valuable treasure in the entire Jurchen military group.

- And then they really never came back, and they were consumed in vain. Qiong Haijun and the Houjin soldiers played guerrilla and counter-guerrilla warfare on the Lushun Peninsula for a winter, and in the end, the number of enemies killed before and after was about three or four hundred. Xie Xi also said that fortunately, Houjin's troops were not too much, and they were still within the range they could handle. didn't know that when these people were able to appear in front of them, they had already experienced an extremely cruel elimination.

-- the risk of capsizing at any time in a single boat crossing the sea or being discovered by a short-haired naval patrol ship and sinking at any time in the event of a wave; In the cold winter night when the dripping water turns into ice, lurking in the snow but not daring to make a fire to keep warm, can only be helpless; and the misery of being slightly sick or suffering a little injury after not being able to recover at all, and getting worse and worse...... Without support from the rear, the Great Leap Forward-style "special operation" is so troublesome! Even the reconnaissance brigade led by Beiwei must put logistics support in the first place every time it acts. The cold natural environment and the most basic military principles will not be forgiven because those post-Jin soldiers are locals.

-- They only encountered three or four hundred people, but the major banner lords put together a patchwork of raiders, and the number of raiders sent out was actually at least doubled, seven or eight hundred, nearly a thousand! If these people are used in regular battle formations, and they are strong and stubborn, even in a decisive battle like the Battle of Sarhu, as long as they are put into a key place and a critical time, it is enough to change the course of a major war.

However, in this winter, after they were sent to Lushunkou, they all disappeared without a sound. Maybe in the naval patrol report received by Wen Desi, there will be a note that "on a certain day in a certain month, a Houjin boat was hit and sunk while patrolling the sea", or maybe a lumberjack in the Dongjiang Army found several frozen zombies lying under a tree, and took a breath of bad luck and changed to another tree to cut down...... That's all.

The loss in numbers is not much, but the psychological blow to the Eight Banners warriors is deep in the bone marrow. In the past, it was completely impossible to fight head-on, but now it is found that the so-called "local advantage" and "warrior spirit" cannot be relied on, how can this be good?

So at this moment, listening to Dai Shan's blatant proclamation of the word "green skin", even Huang Taiji's face showed a mixture of anger, disgust, and fear that was difficult to completely hide despite his efforts to control it. But as the Great Khan, of course, he could not show any cowardice in this regard, so he glanced at Dorgon again.

The latter immediately understood the mind of this brother and master, and immediately said loudly:

"As the saying goes, 'southerners are good at boats, northerners are good at horses', those green skins heard that it was the southernmost army of the Ming Kingdom, and they originally came from thousands of miles to float to the sea, and their boats and ships were really powerful, but they couldn't drive them to land!"
