Chapter 633: Under the Tower Mountain

Baoyi and Aha are actually the house slaves of the Manchurian princes and nobles, after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the old slave through continuous annexation wars, annexed a large number of tribes, in order to inspire the heart of the Eight Banners and strengthen the cohesion of the Eight Banners, the old slave then rewarded the captured Dingkou to the nobles of the banners, called Baoyi Aha.

After Salhu, as the Later Jin regime grew stronger and more and more dominant, the defect of insufficient population in Jianzhou became increasingly obvious, and the old slave had to order each banner to promote a part of Baoyi as local officials to rule the local Han people.

Of course, these officials are still the servants of the Eight Banners, and these promoted minions distinguish between Baoyi and Aha in order to show their different status, and they are not allowed to call themselves slaves by more lowly Han people.

Hong Chengchou proposed to add Baoyi and Aha to the Eight Banners Army, which would undoubtedly touch the interests of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, so the Manchurian princes headed by Du Du resolutely opposed this, and even Dolgon resisted a little, after all, in his opinion, the Manchurian blood was much more noble than the Han Chinese.

"Regent, the matter is urgent, according to Dunbai's report, the Ming army that entered the Kou from the direction of Korea should have tens of thousands, once they solve Prince Zheng, there will be no danger to the east of Shengjing, in case Prince Su is defeated again, Liaoyang and Jinzhou will be attacked on their backs! Moreover, today I can carry the coat into the flag, and I will ...... in the future. ”

Li Xingzhi's thunderous means of dealing with traitors, the tragic experience of Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan and others in Shenyang City frightened Hong Chengchou, all he has to do now is to earn his life, for his own life, he must ensure that the broken ship of the Qing Dynasty cannot be sunk, The latter words, Hong Chengchou doesn't want to say it, he thinks that Dolgon should understand.

“…… Then according to the meaning of Master Hong, Dudu, Turge, and Manchuria have eight banners, and the king will add you two as the owners of the two red flags, and the two of you will immediately collect the Baoyi and Aha in the city, go to the arsenal to receive weapons, go to Tieling and Fushun, and join Prince Su to stabilize the flanks of Liaoyang, and hope that the two of you must hold on until the king repels the Ming thieves. ”

In the face of survival and destruction, Dolgon had to choose the latter, Hong Chengchou's meaning was already obvious, as long as the Qing Dynasty did not die, Baoyi and Aha could be carried into Manchuria today, and they would be able to get out of the flag in the future, and they would be able to use the Manchurians as pigs and dogs.

"Huh! The ministers obey the will of the regent. ”

Dudu and Turg were overjoyed, they didn't expect that the duties of these two Red Banner Lords would fall on them like this, and they quickly got up and saluted Dolgon.

After it was agreed to incorporate Baoyi and Aha into the two red flags, Dudu and Turge did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent an edict to Dolgon, urging the Manchurian princes in Beijing to immediately hand over all Baoyi and Aha and rebuild the two red flags.

The Ming army entered in a big way, and the Manchurians knew that it was a matter of life and death, and they naturally supported Dolgon's decree, after all, the minions were gone, and they could be arrested again, and if the Qing Dynasty was gone, there would be nothing.

The clothed minions of various provinces are also very excited, although their status in Liaoyang is higher than that of the Han people at the bottom, and some are even higher than the commoners of Manchuria, but when they see the real Manchuria, even if it is a Manchurian child, they have to kneel and salute, and now the regent has issued an edict to carry them into the flag, then they will be authentic Manchurian children in the future, and they can accommodate the existence of the clothed minions.

In just two days, all the clothed minions in Liaoyang City were counted, with a total of 4,300 Haixi Jurchens, more than 4,100 Mongols, and 8013 Han Chinese, and most of them were scholars.

According to historical records, when Manchuria entered the customs, there were only so many Han people who could be Baoyi slaves, which means that in the eyes of the Jianzhou Jurchens, Han people did not even have the qualifications to be Baoyi.

The military situation was urgent, Dudu and Turge filled the nearly 9,000 coats into the red flag and the red flag respectively, and then led the troops to Fushun, Liaoyang army and horses were insufficient, and Dolgon was also afraid that the new two red flags would not be of great use, so he transferred six Niu Lu from Duoduo's army and compiled them into the two red flags, trying to use the method of veterans to drive new recruits to improve the combat effectiveness of the two red flags as soon as possible.

In the face of the Jingbei Army's two-sided attack, Dolgon and Hong Chengchou's deployment has been almost extreme, but it still has not changed the passive situation, until September 2, the first year of Yongli, the Jingbei Army forward finally arrived at Tashan.

Tashan is the throat of the traffic inside and outside the Guan, and it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. Xuande three years in order to prevent the continuous harassment of ethnic minorities in the north, strengthen the defense of Liaodong, began to build Tashan City, one hundred and eighty-four steps in the city Wednesday, two zhang five feet high, set up three city gates, the south gate is Haining Gate, the west gate is Anping Gate, the east is Yicang Gate, after the Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the defense line of Liaoxi, Sun Chengzong, who was the Jiliao Capital Division, re-strengthened the Tashan city wall on the foundation of the original city, and increased the city wall by five feet.

Tashan is just a small fort three miles square, after the Jingbei army came to the city, Jiliao Governor Sun Zhiqi immediately surrounded the south gate with the Shanxi army, and the Jiujiang soldiers guarded the west gate, and he personally supervised Liu Zeqing and Huang Degong's department hoarded the east gate, and shot the book in the city, and the defenders in the city immediately opened the city, if there were those who resisted the heavenly soldiers, they would be punished.

Tens of thousands of troops besieged the city, which made the defenders of Tashan in the city panic, and the generals in the city even quarreled over the battle and surrender.

The original Guanning army guerrillas Jin Ying and Yao Bingzhong all believed that the imperial court was powerful, and the Manchurians were in full decline after successive defeats against the army of King Yan.

Tashan guard, Xia Chengde, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Han Army's Blue Banner, and his son Xia Shu were full of fear of surrendering, because it was they who opened the gate of Songshan City and let the Manchurian soldiers enter the city, which led to Hong Chengchou's surrender.

Jin Ying and Yao Bingzhong are the heirs of the Guanning guerrilla Jin Guan and Yao Hexian who died in the battle on Juehua Island in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and the two have a deep blood feud with Manchuria, and have a certain influence in the Guanning army, so although Xia Chengde and his son are the main generals of Tashan, they dare not meet each other, and they can't fight for a while.

When the main surrender and the main battle officials were arguing, Li Baoguo, the deputy who actually commanded the Tashan garrison, judged the situation and knew that the meager troops in the city could not stop the Ming army that was pressed by the large soldiers, so he stood on the side of the main surrender faction out of his own life.

With the support of Li Baoguo, the power of the main surrender officials overwhelmed the main battle faction, and the three of them led the troops and horses in the city anyway, and the Zhenglan Banner Han Army in the city was adapted from the Guanning Army.
