Chapter 0157: Capturing Saiwolong Alive

Ye Chen, who was stationed in Shanxi, soon received a letter from Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the three sides, who originally wanted to lead his army back to Beijing in a few days to report to the emperor.

After all, in the extermination of Shanxi rebels, a lot has been gained.

When he saw that Azig's son was deposed and the Han army was wiped out with the blue banner, his face was very ugly.

How could the Qing Dynasty have ever fought such a defeat?

It's a great shame, and after the news spreads, there will definitely be a wave of resistance.

This gang of bandits called Saiwolong must cut off all of their heads again, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, in order to deter the surrounding generals.

If it is ignored, Shaanxi is afraid that it will not be guaranteed, and Shanxi will definitely be affected.

Ye Chen and Azig cooperated with each other, born and died, and had a good relationship, especially his eldest son Cherku was still serving under Azig and pursued Li Zicheng together.

It is also reasonable to pursue the traitor himself.

"Ibay, pass my order and set off immediately." Ye Chen put away the letter and ordered directly.

Ibai is the banner owner of the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner, targeting Mongolians and other ethnic groups.

The Qing court did not require a shaved hair, so instead of a money rat tail on his head, he had a Mongol hairstyle from the Yuan Dynasty.

"My lord, what happened?" Ibai wants to ask what's wrong, and there's no need to be in such a hurry to get back to Beijing.

The wealth that everyone looted back has to be slowly counted and divided.

Ye Chen didn't hide it, and directly said that he was going to kill this live bandit, and if he had the opportunity, he could also put the hand of the Qing Dynasty into Sichuan.

When Yibai heard it, the owners of the Han Army's Blue Banner were dead, which was a big deal.

He doesn't have as many soldiers in his hands as Bayan.

"My lord, think twice about this."

Ibai didn't want to be confronted by a strong enemy before he had just finished the robbery and had not yet transported his wealth back to his hometown.

Dolgon only led about 80,000 people into Beijing, and only 100,000 horses when he joined Wu Sangui and others, and most of the people who fought in various places after that were the main force of the generals.

Before entering the customs, the Manchus had only 150,000 or 60,000 troops on paper.

Ibai didn't think that the combat power of the Han army Zhenglan Banner would be weaker than that of his men, at most inferior in mounted archery.

But in the battle, the blue flag of the Han army was more courageous.

Bayan and the others were defeated in the siege battle, and no banner soldiers escaped, which is enough to explain the problem.

Among the three tribes, only the Mongolian Eight Banners had the fewest soldiers, they were originally the kings of the steppe, and then they were conquered by the Tartars, and now they only want to make a fortune.

As for fighting desperately, that is not possible, and there are many veterans in their fifties and sixties, and even sixteen or seventeen-year-old baby soldiers.

In Yibai's view, the flag sergeant is indispensable, and if there is less, there will be no extra soldiers to replenish, after all, it is a family that draws a ding.

Because Mongolia is a whole nation of men of all ages, they have to bear military obligations.

Ye Chen touched his beard and walked a few steps: "Why do you have to think twice?" ”

"My lord, we have completed the emperor, and directly said that it was the war explained by Dolgon, and if we don't hurry back to Beijing to report to the emperor now, I am afraid that we will be targeted.

Especially after Dolgon came to power, he had a conflict with Azig, and this matter should not be easily trapped. ”

Ibay didn't tell the story of the unfinished money, but only singled out the fight between the Dorgon brothers.

This kind of thing seemed to Ibai to be extremely normal, and power struggles between brothers and fathers were commonplace, and they were often accompanied by bloodshed.

Whether it was the Mongol Khan or the Manchu court, only one person could make one voice, and the rest had to listen.

"Call Li Guohan and the others all in and discuss one or two."

Ye Chen knew Yibai's thoughts, since the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner could not be counted on, then the Eight Banners of the Han Army had to be counted on.

After a while, Li Guohan, the owner of the blue flag of the Han army, Zu Zerun, the owner of the yellow flag, and Liu Zhiyuan, the owner of the yellow flag, arrived at the scene.

Ye Chen briefly explained the whole thing to the main force of his subordinates.

Li Guohan and Liu Zhiyuan fell into deep thought, and they were even more deeply angry.

They are both the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the bandits in Qingfeng Village did so desperately that they did not accept Tong Dai's surrender.

They were all killed, their heads cut off, and they were hung on the walls.

If you sit back and watch the power of this group of bandits grow, if you run into it, everyone will encounter the situation of Bayan.

It is better to take advantage of the fact that his prestige has not yet spread, call on more people to join him, and destroy him first.

In this way, everyone can be regarded as passable in their hearts, proving the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Zu Zerun is Zu Dashou's son, the family inherited him, inherited the title of Zu Dashou, and he has a good relationship with the second generation of Bayan, who is also a general.

Hearing Bayan's tragic situation, he was even more angry:

"My lord, such a big defeat, if these bandits cannot be exterminated in time, it will definitely cause great trouble.

At the same time, it will make those generals muttered in their hearts, and when our army returns to the court, we may be able to settle disputes again. ”

The Mongolian Blue Banner Banner Lord Ibai thought in his heart that if they could rebel again, they would be able to make a fortune again at that time.

This time, when the class teacher returned to the court, he estimated that the reward was only a few hundred taels of silver, how could there be more looting by the arsonists!

"What about the two of you?" Ye Chen asked clearly, just to let them express their position.

Li Guohan and Liu Zhiyuan immediately bowed their hands and said: "It's all up to the adults to decide." ”

"Okay."

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction, although he was closer to Yibai in his heart, but when he fought, he had to rely on these generals of the Han Eight Banners.

"Now there are about 80,000 generals in Shanxi, and we have 10,000 horses in our hands.

"Now I intend to mobilize 30,000 horses from Datong Jiang Jiu to send troops with me."

"That's a good idea." Li Guohan first agreed, and then he spoke: "My lord, the firearms in the hands of the bandits are sharp, and we still have to transport the red-clothed cannons." ”

"This matter is simple, just hand it over to Jiang Hao for transportation, and he will attack the city this time."

Ye Chen didn't think about it, and directly arranged for Jiang Hao to make a wave, lest this person be capricious and rebel against the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Because many generals surrendered to Li Zicheng first, and saw that the Dashun army was defeated one after another, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as the news came that the war between Dordor and Azig was not going well in the south, it was inevitable that these generals would be a little cautious.

Therefore, Ye Chen's idea was to let these Han generals deal with the Han people who rebelled against the Qing court, and let them kill each other to the death.

"My lord, do you want to write a note to the emperor about this matter first, after all, we have just left the date of the class teacher."

Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to offend Dolgon, anyway, they would fight among themselves, as long as Shunzhi didn't die, then Dolgon was extremely likely to be liquidated.

Ye Chen nodded, not to mention the letter written by Meng Qiaofang, the governor of the three sides, which must be given to the emperor, and at the same time let Dolgon know.

It was the people you appointed who asked me for help, not me who volunteered to send out the army.

The Qing army in Shanxi prepared to march westward through Hanzhong, attack Guangyuan, and capture Saiwolong alive!
