Chapter 189
Nurhachi lay decadently in the bright yellow carriage, and charcoal fire burned in the gilded kneeling figurines stove next to it. The inside of the carriage was warm and smoky, separating him from the bitter north wind outside. The eldest concubine Abahai knelt at Nurhachi's feet and gently thumped the leg of the Heavenly Khan.
A warm carriage could not warm Nurhachi's heart, since the thirteen pairs of armor were raised. Never suffered such a fiasco, and the attack on Jinzhou was a fiasco. The attack on Juehua Island was still a fiasco, and Nurhachi even doubted that he was still leading the invincible Jurchen Eight Banners?
Lift the yellow dragon brocade curtain and look at Ningyuan City, which is getting farther and farther outside. Nurhachi nodded, and his confidence returned.
No matter what, the Jurchen Eight Banners are still the Jurchen Eight Banners. Although the Ming army was victorious, they still did not dare to go out of the city to fight their own soldiers.
"Don't worry about the Great Khan, the Han people say that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Are you winning fewer battles? Fighting all the way from Hetuala, now we have Fushun, Qinghe, Shenyang, Liaoyang, and the entire Liaodong except Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, all under your rule. Abahai peeked at Nurhachi's face, saw that Nurhachi's face was softened, and began to give her husband a reassuring pill.
"You know what! The Ming family has a great cause, even if we kill 50,000 people or 100,000 people in the Ming Dynasty. In a few months, they will be able to send tens of thousands of troops.
Our family is thin! The Jurchen Eight Banners have a total of more than 60,000 bannermen. More than 10,000 people were lost this time, and many of the injured are likely to be disabled.
Daming can afford to lose, we can't afford to lose! Nurhachi took a sip of hot tea and let out a long melancholy breath.
Fighting with Da Ming is like gambling money on the table with a rich man for many years. It doesn't matter how many you win, this big guy bets your entire net worth every time. You can only be forced to gamble, if you keep winning.
As long as you lose, it's the result of bankruptcy.
Fortunately, this time it was not a complete loss. More than 10,000 people were killed and wounded, although it was a loss of hands and feet, but it was not a broken hand.
When you think about it, it might not be bad. At least, Daming has not relied on this battle to turn the tables.
"The Great Khan started with a hundred battles, and what he can't afford to lose. I think that's what the Han people are all about, you see, they only dare to cower in the city and not come out.
Even if we lose now, they won't dare to go out of the city to fight us. The Eight Banners of the Great Khan are still the domineering Eight Banners. "It's not for nothing that Abahai is favored, and when he saw Nurhachi's face soften, he immediately climbed down the pole.
"Huh! Abahai, you're always so talkative. Dolgon, like you, smart! Nurhachi pinched Abahai's face, although the twenty-nine-year-old woman was older, she also had the charm of a mature woman.
This kind of charm has a strong attraction to men, not to mention that Abahai has followed Nurhachi since he was fourteen years old. The two of them are old husbands and wives!
"Where did the Great Khan say, Dolgon was the son of a concubine, and he was the descendant of Aixin Jueluo. He has the noble blood of the Great Khan in his veins, and he can't do it if he is not smart. ”
Abahai was talking when he saw Nurhachi sitting up. The tapestry curtain was lifted, and then it was lowered again.
"Hey......! My sons, too, are not all smart. That reckless Gurtai is a worrying thing! Nurhachi said helplessly, just now he felt the carriage vibrate abnormally. With his military experience during the New Year, he knew that a large force of cavalry had arrived.
When I opened the curtain and looked at it, I realized that it was a large group of cavalry with a blue flag. Azig greeted him with a man with a yellow flag, and since Chu Ying attempted to rebel, Nurhachi no longer trusted his sons.
Coming to see him with a group of cavalry like this, Mang Gurtai was simply dizzy.
After a few moments, Azig led Manggultai to the carriage.
"Amma! The fifth brother said that he had something important to report! Azig's voice rang out outside.
"Say it!" Through the door, Nurhachi's dissatisfied voice came from inside.
"Amma! Oh no, the Mongols attacked our old camp. The herders there suffered heavy losses, and large numbers of cattle and sheep were taken away. The herdsmen have also been robbed a lot by the Mongols, and we have suffered heavy losses in the Blue Banner! ”
Mang Gurtai's voice was full of tears, and the territory of the Blue Flag was connected to Korqin. When the Mongols attacked, his reckless Gurtai men bore the brunt.
Since the Jurchen Eight Banners won Liaodong, they redivided their forces. Each flag also has its own emphasis!
The two red flags occupy the east close to North Korea, so the two red flags are more focused on agriculture. The yellow flag and the yellow flag in the south are the richest because they receive the most Han people. Two white flags in the north, because of the proximity to Changbai Mountain. There is no shortage of ginseng, mink, and deer antler velvet. Heilongjiang fishing for Dongzhu is also a business of two white flags.
The two blue flags are on the west side, near the Qianli Horqin grassland. Therefore, the root of the two blue flags is agriculture and animal husbandry. This is also the reason why among the eight banners, the cavalry with two blue flags is the most ferocious.
Now that his hometown has been copied, how can Mang Gurtai not be in a hurry.
"Mongols!" Nurhachi's eyelids jumped, and the muscles in his face twitched.
These bastards who took advantage of the fire to rob actually took advantage of their own expedition to help the Ming army beat themselves.
The Ming army did not dare to fight in the field, but the Mongols still dared to fight in the field with the Jurchens. Especially in the Mongolian headquarters like the Qiyan Ministry, the golden family still has a strong appeal in the hearts of the Mongols.
Nurhachi's hand gripped Abahai's arm, and Abahai's face turned pale, and he did not dare to say a word.
"Order, two white flags and two blue flags to rescue the ranch." Nurhachi thought for a moment and commanded in a deep voice.
In this battle, the vitality of the two red flags was greatly damaged. Among them, Yue Tuo, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, was killed, and Belle Shuoto was also killed. There is not one in the white Bajia army with red flags, and it can be said that the whole army has been wiped out.
When he saw Dai Shan in the morning, he seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.
In contrast, the two yellow flags suffered the least losses. Two blue flags and two white flags, although they were damaged in battle, they still have the strength to fight. It should be enough to deal with those Mongols.
"Huh!" Mang Gurtai couldn't wait for a moment, stood up, turned around, jumped out of the carriage and got on the horse. With his iron horse, he galloped towards Ulanqab.
Nurhachi shook his head helplessly, this place is too far away from Ulanqab. Even if you keep traveling, I'm afraid it will take a few days.
The Mongols and the Jurchens were actually very similar, and they both liked to fight on war horses. The war horse under the crotch makes it lie full of coming and going like the wind. Mang Gurtai went back this time, and it was likely that he was just collecting the body.
The two white flags of Hauge and Dudu were with him in order to restrain this simple-minded son. The two white flags will definitely not follow him to attack Horqin, and the strength of the two blue flags does not allow them to fight Horqin.
In this way, Mang Gurtai and Amin could only stay in Ulanqab to lick their wounds.
Mongolia! Mongolia is too important, when you go out on your own. These people are always stabbing in the back!
Fortunately, North Korea's combat strength is too poor, otherwise if North Korea intervenes again, Houjin will really be embattled.
The two blue flags and the two white flags were gone, and the two red flags that lost troops and the two yellow flags protected Nurhachi's royal car and continued to march towards Shenyang.
