Chapter 469: It is advisable to chase after the poor
In the setting sun, the red glow spreads all over the land, thousands of horsemen step over the hills, the spears in the hands of the hussars shine with golden light, and the bright armor shines with red brilliance.
It was a group of cavalry coming down from the sky, galloping across the field like a whirlwind. Everywhere they passed, the Tartars fled in a hurry, not even daring to face this majestic force.
The tartars, who couldn't run, could only kneel on the ground honestly and beg for surrender.
At this moment, what Eight Banners powerhouse, what Jurchen soldiers are invincible, all have become. The fierce Tartars were about to annex the land of Kyushu at one time, but at this time, they were like a group of lowly reptiles, kneeling on the ground, trembling and asking to surrender.
These people became extremely obedient, for fear of annoying the heavenly soldiers and generals, and slashed them with a knife.
The hussars had no interest in dealing with them at all, and had only one target, and that was the head of the Tartars, the regent Dorgon!
Luan Hu rode on the war horse and shouted loudly: "Kneel down for me, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu!" ”
He took the lead, and the cavalry was like a sharp sword, rushing to the front.
At this time, Dolgon's lips were blue, his face was turmeric, and he was lying on top of the carriage. Each jolt made him frown, and a mouthful of blood surged back and forth in his throat to rush outside. Dorgon knew that if he spit out this blood again, he would be really finished, so he held on.
"Fan, Mr. Fan!"
A slight voice came, Fan Wencheng deserved to be a good slave of the Tartars, at such an age, his ears were extraordinarily smart.
"Quick, stop first."
Fan Wencheng flew in front of Dolgon, who had just lost his human appearance for a few hours. A faint black aura gathered on his face. The well-informed Fan Wencheng didn't understand that this person was already at the end, he endured his grief, leaned over and asked, "Regent, what do you command." The minions are here! ”
Dolgon reluctantly rolled his eyelids and struggled to say, "Mr. Fan, don't go to Handan, turn around and go to Quzhou." ”
When Fan Wencheng heard this, he was immediately stunned: "Master, Handan has an army of 120,000 troops. Even if you can't make a comeback, you can still be safe. If you go to Quzhou, you will be lonely, afraid, afraid that it will be ......"
"Huh!" Dolgon smiled weakly and wryly, "Handan's army is not a helper. On the contrary, it is the enemy who urges his life, Mr. Fan, don't you understand? ”
Fan Wencheng may be old, or maybe he has become sluggish because of the defeat, and he is at a loss.
Dolgon said, "If the Mongol army in Handan runs out of food, will they listen to me?" I'm afraid that they will use my head to exchange the Ming army's noble hand! ”
Speaking of which, here. Fan Wencheng still doesn't understand!
The more you understand, the more you have to be shocked by An**'s ruthlessness and precision.
They tried their best to lure Fan Keqin and others to surrender. The surrender of the dignified members of a country to the enemy was an indescribable blow to the morale of the army. This idea was Fan Wencheng's idea, and he thought he had a plan.
But An ** was even more ruthless, their target was on Feng Andong, the governor of Shandong, Feng Andong has been cultivating and studying for generations, and this person has no principles. It's just a wall grass, falling with the wind. It doesn't matter who is powerful. He leaned over without hesitation.
The Manchus did not have many people available, so Feng Andong was promoted to the governor of Shandong. Shandong is next to Nanzhi. It is the first line of dealing with Ann**. This Lord Feng quickly noticed the strength of An **, the prosperous trade, the many merchants, and the rolling gold flow, which made people's eyes red and warm, and they were deeply shocked.
Feng Andong is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, he hurriedly and secretly contacted An **, preparing to sacrifice Shandong.
It happened that in this battle, Gu Zhenhua determined the direction of Shandong as the flank and sent Gao Hongtu to preside over it in person. Gao Hongtu asked the alert Zhao Tian to disguise himself as Jinan, met with Feng Andong, and discussed the way to deal with the Tartars together.
Just when the battle of Guangping began, they took action from inside and outside, and Dolgon, in order to go all out, withdrew almost all the Tartar elites in Shandong, leaving only some green battalions.
On the night of the move, Zhao Tian rushed to the forefront first, attacked the warehouse with less than 300 people, and killed 500 Tartars in one fell swoop.
As soon as the blow was successful, the situation in Jinan was completely reversed, and Feng Andong's soldiers frantically attacked the remaining Tartars, regardless of men, women and children, none of them were spared. As for those green battalions, they also turned against the water and joined the ranks of the Tartars who were crusading.
They were extremely lively, and Zhao Tian's attention was all on the warehouse in front of him. Jinan gathered most of the wealth that the Tartars had stolen from Shandong, as well as 2.2 million stone of grain. It was the capital that sustained Dolgon's war.
Zhao Tian was reluctant to burn all this grain, but there were still Tartars near Jinan, and it would not be beautiful to let the Tartars kill them and snatch them back. Zhao Tian immediately thought of a bad idea, and he announced to all the people of Shandong that as long as they could join the ranks of driving out the Tartars, they could exchange for food according to their merits.
The wanton expropriation and tyranny of the Tartars have long made the people of Shandong resentful boiling, and the common people can not bear it. Hearing the news, the rebels who had revolted in various places flocked to it, and the rebels even captured Dongchang Mansion, cutting off the connection between Shandong and Dolgon at once.
Shandong changed overnight, and Dolgon lost its granary, and thus lost control of the Mongols. Anyone who has no food will rebel, and the Mongol tribes and the Manchu Qing are not of the same mind, not to mention that when it comes to life and death, how can those cunning guys work for the Qing Dynasty!
If Dolgon had run away, it would have become a bargaining chip between the Mongols and the Ming court.
Thinking about the truth, Fan Wencheng was so shocked that he was soaking wet, he hurriedly ordered, and the whole army changed direction and ran towards Qu Zhou.
The chase continues, and Gu Zhenhua has already begun to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Wu Kaijie and Fang Jianming were on the left and right, holding the battle report sorted out, Wu Kaijie said excitedly: "Lord Wang, in this battle, we killed at least about 34,000 Tartars, and captured more than 80,000 Tartars. 110,000 horses, 180,000 stone of grain, and more than 300 large and small artillery pieces were captured. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Kaijie became radiant. couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, almost all the elites of the Tartars have been lost in this battle, and we have completely won." Now there is only one Dolgon left, and once he is caught, it will be truly done! ”
Gu Zhenhua nodded slightly: "Don't worry." Even if Dolgon becomes a monkey, he can't escape the palm of his hand, and the Manchu Qing is completely finished! ”
Don't look at the dead and wounded Tartars, there are only more than 30,000, but among them, there are more than 8,000 elites of the Eight Banners, and more than 5,000 firecrackers trained by Dolgon, if you count the captured personnel. Eight Banners can be regarded as completely disabled.
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "As the so-called elimination of evil is exhausted, there are still tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers who have fled to various places, and immediately mobilize all the Han people, no matter who it is, as long as they can send the Tartar heads." A reward of fifty taels for one head! ”
"Let's arrange it!"
Wu Kaijie left in a hurry, it was Fang Jianming's turn, but he was not so excited.
"Lord Wang, of course we won, but we also paid a terrible price, more than 12,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, of which the old guards had more than 2,200 people, almost half of them were lost. For example, the car battalion also lost more than 30% of its troops. All other ministries suffered losses to a greater or lesser extent. ”
This battle is indeed more dangerous than ever, and the progress of the Tartar makes Gu Zhenhua a little dumbfounded, but fortunately, the Tartar is always half a step slower than An **. It is not surprising that such losses have been suffered.
Gu Zhenhua's face also became solemn, and he said: "Go and send a letter to Yan Yingyuan, let him immediately draw up the bereavement standard, give preferential treatment to all family members, and the brothers can't die in vain." ”
"Humble duty understands!" Fang Jianming also turned around and went out.
Gu Zhenhua sat quietly in his position. He stared blankly at the top of the tent with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Won. Finally won! The land of China, the kingdom of heaven. No longer have to wear a pig's tail and become the sick man of East Asia that everyone laughs at! ”
Gu Zhenhua suddenly felt extraordinarily peaceful, since the crossing, he was almost suppressed for a while, but now everything has changed, and his heart is full of sunshine.
When the tent curtain was opened, there were bursts of cheers outside.
The pursuers from all walks of life continued to return, escorting countless Tartar captives, a rope was a string, like grasshoppers, with dejected poker faces. Every time a group of captives was sent, everyone laughed and shouted with joy.
"Win, we've finally won!"
"The Tartars are completely finished!"
The soldiers laughed, shouted, and jumped happily. Someone moved out of the wine jar from the kitchen, and the big guy didn't care about military discipline, holding a large porcelain bowl, one bowl per person, and drinking happily.
"Get me a bowl too!"
The soldier jerked his head and nearly threw the jar to the ground.
"Lord Wang, it's you!"
"Hahaha, there is no prince today, only the victors of the battlefield, brothers, I salute you with a bowl!"
Gu Zhenhua picked up the big bowl and drank it dry in one gulp.
"Good! The prince has a good amount of wine! ”
The soldiers raised their bowls one after another, drinking excitedly, and a young soldier didn't know how to drink, but he poured a bowl too, and after drinking, he fell directly to the ground and fell asleep, making everyone laugh.
Bowl after bowl of drinking, after a while, soldiers got drunk, dancing the dance of their hometown, singing a variety of minor tunes, and the sound of joy echoed in the heavens and the earth.
More and more soldiers escorted back the booty, and the cheerful procession became more and more, from the battlefield to the city of Quang Binh, all of them were cheering soldiers and civilians!
However, not everyone can drink, a few veterans leaned to the side, their eyes were lonely, and some secretly wiped their tears.
"What do you think, tell me how about it, are you looking forward to the celebration banquet?"
"Being able to drink a bowl of wine with the prince is better than any celebration banquet, and the humble position is empty in my heart." A veteran said with the strength of wine: "We have followed the prince from Liaodong and fought all the way, and now the Tartars are finished, I am afraid that we will all have to disarm and return to the field in the future." ”
"Don't you want to?"
A trace of confusion flashed on the veteran's face, and then he smiled bitterly: "Of course I want my mother-in-law and children, but I have fought for most of my life and am used to holding the hand of the firearm, so why should I carry the hoe." In this life, he is a soldier! ”
"Hahahaha, that's a good point, one day is a soldier, a lifetime is a soldier!" Gu Zhenhua laughed loudly: "Brothers, don't worry, this king can tell you that there will be countless big battles in the future, and when the Central Plains is stable, we will open up the territory and lay a big country for our descendants!" ”
When the veterans heard this, they all immediately came to their senses, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, what you said is true?" ”
"That's natural, this king has told a lie, everyone work hard, see who can take the overseas territory first and become the emperor of the soil."
When the veterans heard this, they all came to their senses,
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and the knight came running with a sack of hemp.
"Lord Wang, I brought you a big fish." Tang Zhanxiong slammed the sack to the ground, and a muffled snort came from inside.
Gu Zhenhua stood up and said with a smile: "How big a fish it is, let me see." ”
Tang Zhanxiong untied the rope and took out a rice dumpling with five flowers tied from it.
"Lord Wang, please look, it's this guy!"
Gu Zhenhua looked at it in a flash, and saw a little old man in his sixties, with a gray beard, a blue and purple face, full of panic.
"Lord Wang, he is the big traitor Ning Wan me, the old boy was finally caught, and he was ordered to be cut by a thousand cuts!"
"Ahh Don't kill me, don't kill me! ”
Tang Zhanxiong smiled: "Dog traitor, I heard that your old boy encouraged the Tartars to shave and change clothes, and forced many people to death." Don't worry, I will never let you die all at once, I promise to let you enjoy it! ”
I was almost frightened, and cried out, "The sinner knows where Dolgon is, please spare the sinner's life!" (To be continued)
