Chapter 64: The Bloody Battle of Datong XVII

Ezhen, the meaning of domination.

In the Eight Banners, the fields were cultivated, the Ding was conscripted and armored, and the service was paid, all of which were calculated based on the ox record. Each ox contains 300 people, and there is a cow record and a true cow, five cattle and a Jiala, and five Jiala.

With the gradual increase in the population of the Manchus in these years, the total number of Eight Banner Niulu is now twice that of Nurhachi during the reign of Tiancong Nian. As for the Baoyi and Aha that are kept in the homes of each Manchurian family, because they are not considered people, they do not occupy the quota of the cattle record.

With the surge of Niu Lu under his jurisdiction, Gushan Ezhen's power has also risen, and his status is second only to the banner master, and he is in charge of the military and political affairs in the banner.

Although Azig divided the Zhengbai Banner into four solid mountain commanders in order to prevent one family from becoming dominant, but aside from the title and dignity, if only the position is discussed, Dagubian and Mengchai are not inferior to Hedu.

The Mongolian people were driven all the way by He Qiu and fled to the main camp of the Qing army in Baishan Mountain, and the news of the robbery of the grain team spread quickly, causing a lot of panic when boarding. Dagu, who was sitting in his tent, was carefully sharpening his dagger, when he suddenly heard that his cronies had come to report the incident, and immediately jumped to his feet and scolded.

I didn't want the dagger that was half polished, threw it away, called the chiefs of the bulls, and rushed to the main camp of Hedu angrily.

"Aqina! Get out of the way, and let Hordubele come out to meet us. Dagu Bian hurriedly walked and was stopped by Goshha at Yingkou, everyone behind Dagu Bian drew their swords together, the two sides drew their swords and crossbows, and Hedu's personal guards were constantly reinforcing Yingkou.

"Eniye Waka (Manchu eniye waka, meaning him), if you don't have food, you will starve to death, don't you Aqina have to eat?" Dagubian asked, pointing at Commander Goshha.

"Are you going to rebel! Dagubian. The woke up and the dumb Goshhara, who was blocked at the door, said in a loud voice.

"You want to scare me with that? And degree, you're still too tender! After Dagu finished speaking, he didn't forget to snort, and his disdain was overflowing, and this was not the end.

"The robbery of the grain team is your and degree's incompetence! I can die in battle, not starve, Lord Belle, I will not accompany you. ”

After Dagu finished speaking, he turned around and left, shouting at the surroundings: "Follow me back to see the flag master!" ”

He Du knew that he had caused a big disaster and wanted to explain it to everyone, but Dagubian's reckless behavior made him lose face, and he suddenly felt the blood in his chest surging in the dilemma, and spit out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow".

"Hedu Xiao Wang!" The commander of Goshha screamed in surprise, raised his knife and rushed at the departing Dagubian and the others: "Dare to frame the master!" Take them all! ”

The guards had to be ordered to rush up, and Dagubian was stunned when he heard the movement, and before he had time to react, he engaged the guards who rushed to fight.

He Du clutched his chest and half-knelt on the ground, seeing that the situation was more chaotic, he swallowed the blood in his throat and shouted, "I am Aixin Jueluo. And degree, my Ama is Aixin Jueluo. Azig, the White Flag Lord! ”

As soon as the three words Azig came out, it really worked, and the two parties who were entangled and fighting instantly stopped and looked at Hedu.

With the support of others, Hedu slowly stood up, and looked sharply at Dagubian with his eyes.

"Datong! As long as Datong is broken, the problem will be solved! The number of Ming troops behind us must not be large, otherwise why didn't the sentinels find any movement when they were released? ”

"The hijacking of the grain truck was the negligence of me and Du! After the war, I went to the banner lord to surrender my guilt, and you should save your strength to attack the city. Hedu's words were sonorous, and even the anxious Dagu listened to it, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

"Dagubian, our affairs are "family affairs", you can let it go first, take your people to attack the city, my main camp will also be all bet, Benbeile vows to slaughter Datong and build Beijing officials with muddy heads! ”

.......

The horse harrier ran fast with the night camp, and unconsciously threw Tang Tong's troops away, so he fed the horses on the spot and rested, waiting for Tang Tong to follow.

It wasn't until three or four hours later that he saw a figure from a distance, and the horse harrier was angry and rode back, and when he saw Tang Tong's appearance at the head of the team, he was angry and complained: "Brother Tang, Brother Tang, the turtle is not as slow as you climb." ”

Tang Tong replied disappreciatively: "Slow down, the soldiers have to recuperate, Hu Xi, do you say yes or no?" ”

Hu Xi, who used to be the king of Yifang Mountain, is now in rags and leading the horse for Tang Tong, and when he heard Tang Tong's question, he called him thirty-seven twenty-one, and nodded yes.

"Brother Wang, don't be impatient, counting the bandits who are being recruited in the mouth of the tiger, we have seven or eight thousand soldiers, and there are more than a dozen artillery pieces at the end of the team, and we have to eat, drink and Lazar along the way, it's not that I don't want to be fast, I really can't get up fast."

"Oh, I can't wait for you." Ma Harrier was so anxious that he didn't have the time to play Tai Chi with Tang Tong.

The two of them were killing the tiger's mouth, first breaking through Saimuzhen Huxi's camp, and then setting up a game through a banquet to kill the mountain bandit leader who killed the tiger's mouth. Wiped out the mountain bandits, seized countless grains, grass, gold and silver, and Tang Tong, who had been supplied, simply did not do anything and absorbed all the bandits.

In the meantime, Tang Tong did not return to Baodezhou, but took the initiative to ask to go to Datong with Ma Harrier, and now he is suspected of deliberately slowing down the march, and he doesn't know what to do.

For no reason, Ma Harrier remembered what Chongzhen said to himself, and it was just right to use it now.

"Brother Tang, do you want to know what His Majesty says about you?" When Tang Tong heard His Majesty, he quickly cheered up and asked, "How do you evaluate it?" ”

Ma Harrier sat on the back of the horse and shook his head: "Your Majesty said that Tang Daxuan will only fight with the wind." ”

.......

"Brother, what are you doing with me, go back to the camp quickly." Yang Boxian received news from the city, reported that Wang Jinchao left quickly, and was about to return alone. However, Zhao Adi secretly ran out, intending to go back to defend the city with Yang Boxian.

"Brother Yang, my sister is still in the city, let me go back to defend the city."

"Isn't guarding here a guard? What a mess, hurry back. ”

"It's different, big brother." Zhao Adi had a pleading look on his face, his sister was the only living relative in the family, he was not afraid of death, he only hoped to be closer to his sister when he died.

Yang Boxian's heart softened for a while, and his mouth softened, so he had to acquiesce in agreeing, and the two were about to set off, but they saw Wang Jinchao coming with the men of the regiment and the battalion.

"Mr. Wang, what does this mean?" Yang Bo asked first.

"I thought about it, but I couldn't rest assured, the people in the city may not be able to use it, you can bring back these five hundred people, one more person can also help more, and Your Majesty is thoughtful." Wang Jinchao was serious, and chose to separate the regimental training camp and hand it over to Yang Bo to bring back first.

Yang Boxian nodded in agreement and did not refuse.

The news of Chongzhen's illness caught everyone off guard, and from now on, the burden of the city defense command will be on his shoulders.
