Chapter 356: Safe

The conflict between Duoduo and Abatai was still discovered by many officials outside, and it was not difficult to find out this, Abatai was brought out by Azgra, his face was red, and his expression showed anger, which has already shown that the officials of Gaizhou Prefecture, there are Manchus and Han people, and the Manchus don't care about this qiē, in their opinion, even if there is a violent quarrel between the princes, it is not a big deal, but the Han officials are a little surprised, after all, the status is respectful and orderly, and the enemy is current, Isn't it the worst sign that there is an open dispute at the highest levels of the interior.

Everyone knows Duoduo's temper, and they know that this prince is very arrogant and has a bad temper, so in this case, everyone should be careful, don't talk nonsense, and don't do anything out of the ordinary.

Duoduo still knows the priorities when doing things, and he will not forget big things because of anger, which is his merit.

After repeated discussions with Azig, Duoduo made a decision, he and Azig led 8,000 soldiers with white flags to attack the Ming army, and Abatai led 2,000 soldiers with eight banners to garrison Gaizhou.

When Duoduo made this decision, he was still very sober, he thought that the Ming army would never dare to attack Gaizhou, after all, the Ming army was operating in the place controlled by the Qing Dynasty, and if he wanted to go deep alone, he would be looking for death.

Azig agreed with Duoduo's decision, after all, there was already a conflict between Duoduo and Abatai, and it was a conflict that would be difficult to reconcile in a short period of time, and the best way was to let the two temporarily separate and calm down, and Duoduo insisted on leading the army to fight, so he could only leave Abatai to garrison Gaizhou.

Duoduo moved very quickly, and received a letter on the seventh day of the first month. Scouts were sent that night to reconnoiter along the road, on the eighth day of the first lunar month. At that time, 8,000 soldiers with white flags set out from Gaizhou and rushed straight to Fuzhou.

The Eight Banners Army was accustomed to rushing to fight, and its speed was extremely fast, its individual combat capability was strong, and its collective cooperation was also good.

According to Duoduo's plan, on the ninth day of the first month, he would directly attack and recover the state. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the invading Ming army was completely defeated, and Lushun and Shuangdao were recovered.

In Dord's view. After he defeated the invading Ming army and recovered Huizhou, Jinzhou and Lushun, he was afraid that the emperor's will had not yet come to Gaizhou.

Azig's ideas were not much different from those of Dord, and although he had suffered a great defeat last year, it was not a battle commanded by Azig. It was Abatai who failed. This defeat made Azig angry, always thinking about finding a chance to turn over, this time the Ming army dared to cross the sea to invade Lushun and Fuzhou and other places, wouldn't it be the best chance of revenge.

The commander and deputy marshal were full of confidence, and the sergeants below were also infected, and their marching speed was fast, carrying unbeatable morale to Fuzhou.

Zheng Xunrui's expression was calm, looking at the map on the table. Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Su Manzi and others whispered something to the side. Wang Xiaoer stood opposite, looking at Zheng Xunrui with a cramped expression.

Finally, Zheng Xunrui spoke.

"I didn't expect the Houjin Tartars to move so fast, Wang Xiaoer, you don't have to blame yourself, the terrain in Fuzhou and Yongning, we are not familiar with it, and these places have just been occupied by the Zheng family's army, the scouts should be cautious, Houjin Tartar is wearing a white robe, and the collar is inlaid with red, this is the inlaid white flag, as far as I know, the owner of the inlaid white flag is Duoduo, the prince of Houjin is not very old, very arrogant, this time let this prince taste the power of the Zheng family."

"Ten miles outside Yongning City, the terrain is flat, the field of vision is wide, suitable for cavalry combat, the battle between the Zheng family army and the Houjin Tartars is carried out here, this battle, I will command."

"Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Su Manzi, this time the battle, facing the elite of the Houjin, this is a real fight, the Zheng family soldiers must be prepared, we can despise the Houjin Tartars, but we must not despise the Houjin Tartars, my opinion, Fuzhou left a thousand Zheng family soldiers, Yongning left a thousand Zheng family soldiers, and the remaining 13,000 Zheng family soldiers were all put into battle."

"The Houjin Tartars' troops are less than 10,000 people, and we must teach the Houjin Tartars a hard lesson in this battle, so that they are really afraid of the Zheng family army from now on."

Zheng Xunrui said categorically, without the slightest hesitation.

The specific deployment of the battle soon began, and Wang Xiaoer on the side finally looked better.

As the general of the Zheng Jiajun, he was specifically responsible for the affairs of the scout camp, and after the Zheng Jiajun occupied the vast area from Lushun to Fuzhou, he should have quickly launched an investigation, at least to find out the characteristics of this area, Wang Xiaoer did not fail to do it, and sent scouts to reconnoiter everywhere on the sixth day of the first lunar month, especially paying attention to any movement in the direction of Gaizhou to Yongning.

However, the Houjin Tartars moved too fast, and the operation began on the eighth day of the first month, and it was only two days since the scouts of the Zheng Jiajun began to investigate, and a lot of information had not yet been gathered.

Knowing that a large number of Houjin Tartars had appeared in the direction of Gaizhou and coming in the direction of Fuzhou, Wang Xiaoer's face changed, and he was particularly annoyed, not to mention other aspects, but that the scouts did not carefully reconnoiter the terrain in Yongning County, and when the war was approaching, they did not choose a good place for the ambush.

At this moment, it is too late to choose the location of the ambush, the Houjin Tartars are moving too fast, and the scouts who came to report are estimated to be able to reach Yongning County when it gets dark.

Ambush operations require meticulous preparations, the large army must first lay an ambush, and the location of the ambush operation must be more appropriate; without these necessary elements, the ambush operation cannot be carried out.

The only way is to fight hard and start a face-to-face fight with the Houjin Tartars.

Annoyed Wang Xiaoer ordered the scouts to eliminate the difficulties and try to find out the number of Houjin Tartar troops, while hurriedly reporting the situation to Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui didn't complain, which made Wang Xiaoer's heart even more uncomfortable.

13,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army, divided into two echelons, 9,000 people led by Yang He, and the Houjin Tartars fought first, and the 4,000 people led by Zheng Jinhong, after the fight lasted for half an hour to an hour, suddenly attacked and launched a fierce attack on the Houjin Tartars.

At noon, Yang He led 9,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army and set off from Yongning City.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong led 4,000 Zheng family soldiers to set off from Yongning City.

When the war was approaching, Zheng Xunrui was very calm, which also made Zheng Jinhong and others feel a lot more at ease, they firmly believed that this battle could achieve the final victory, as long as it was a battle directly commanded by Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Jiajun was all victorious, there were no accidents, and this operation was definitely so.

In fact, Zheng Xunrui thought a lot, and there were still some mistakes in the arrangement of this operation, that is, he didn't expect that the Houjin Tartar would move so quickly, without prior reconnaissance, without any preparation, the army was suddenly dispatched, which was a bit contrary to common sense, but it also revealed some intelligence, Duoduo did not pay attention to the Ming army, thinking that it would be easy to defeat the Ming army and recover the lost territory.

All the battles of the Zheng Jiajun from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month were all the tactics of blitzkrieg, and the news was completely kept secret, and the Houjin Tartars and Han soldiers in Shuangdao, Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning and other places were wiped out by the Zheng Jiajun with lightning speed without any preparation, and there was no chance to counterattack and no way to escape.

Zheng Jiajun won a heavy victory, such a victory made people dizzy, but it was under the flaunting of this aura of victory that even Zheng Xunrui forgot that he should quickly prepare for the next battle, although he made a request, thinking that the battle was not completely over and victorious, and he could not relax his vigilance, but the reality was that two days had passed, and Zheng Xunrui himself was also relaxing.

This is the lesson, and fortunately, the lesson has not yet had any consequences, but it is necessary to pay special attention.

"Jin Hong, this time there is a bit of a haste to meet the battle, we should learn a lesson, in the future with the Houjin Tartars, there are many more, after every battle, we must summarize in time, can not have the slightest relaxation, this investigation is not in place, the responsibility lies with me, so I did not reprimand Wang Xiaoer, but in the future, such a situation can not occur, in fact, we have two days, we should have considered choosing an ambush location a long time ago, Zheng Jiajun calmly set up an ambush, can reduce casualties."

As soon as Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong spoke.

"Young master, this is all the fault of the subordinates, the subordinates are the chief soldiers of the Zheng family's army, these things should be considered by the subordinates, the adults are all important things, and the specific things should be implemented by the subordinates, in fact, the adults have emphasized in Fuzhou, the subordinates did not pay attention to it, and the golden tartars did not move so quickly when they thought of it."

Zheng Xunrui waved his hand.

"Jinhong, don't talk about this, focus on this battle, I'm still a little worried, this is the first time that the Zheng Jiajun has fought face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars, and both are ready, although when we were in Beizhili, we had a big defeat of the Houjin Tartars, but that was all obtained by means of a surprise attack, and it was not to mention taking Lushun and Fuzhou and other places, so this battle can really test the combat effectiveness of the Zheng Jiajun."

"Our opponent is Duoduo, the white flag full of eight banners, if we can defeat Duoduo this time, the self-confidence of the soldiers will be fully established, and there will be no fear when facing the Houjin Tartar in the future."

"This fight, must be very cruel, every soldier must be ready to fight to the last moment, officers at all levels must attach great importance to it, you have to emphasize this aspect, before the war to remind every commander of the Zheng family's army, we won the battle in Lushun and Fuzhou and other places, it was too easy, so that some soldiers began to despise the Houjin Tartars, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, will suffer."

Zheng Jinhong nodded, his expression a little solemn. (To be continued......)
