On the outskirts of Hengshui City, all kinds of flags are densely packed, fluttering in the wind, almost all over the riverbank.

The Qing army camp stretched for dozens of miles, and it was difficult to even see the edge at a glance.

There are four colors of flags fluttering in the Chinese army, and the Jurchen elite soldiers with the four flags of the white flag, the white flag, the red flag, and the red flag have all completed the assembly.

The camp on the outskirts is the six-color banner, which is the headquarters of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

The status of the Han army in the Qing army was still extremely low at this time, although Huang Taiji was a thousand gold and improved the treatment of surrendered Han ministers and Han generals, but the Han army was still only a vassal in the army.

In the second year of Chongde, that is, in the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Han army was expanded into two banners, and the banners were still cyan.

However, at this time, the native nationality of the Han army was under the Manchurian flag, and most of them were incorporated into the banners as auxiliaries when they went out to fight.

The status of these Han banners was not only lower than that of the Jurchens, but also lower than that of the Mongols, and most of them were responsible for tackling fortifications or the drudgery of trapping battles.

But if you enter the flag, you are a flag person, and you can be regarded as having some status and being able to have a certain amount of property.

There are still many Han people in the Jurchen Eight Banners, and they are the real miserable.

Every time the Qing army went out to fight, the banner soldiers of the Jurchen Eight Banners also had Han clothes at home, and they would also bring a certain amount of clothing when they went out.

These former duties were to serve their masters as servants in the home, and to cultivate the fields of the master's family, and they were in fact slaves.

In wartime, they also had to go out as auxiliaries and followers, helping to carry ordnance and equipment, as well as grain, grass, gold and silver, and as cannon fodder during fierce battles.

This is also why there are only 300 people in a Jurchen Niu Lu full formation, but in fact, when going on an expedition, the reason why a Niu Lu can reach 5 or 600 people is because it is because it is counted as a coat for auxiliary soldiers.

At this time, in the camp of the Qing army, there was a hustle and bustle everywhere, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

"Those Nikans really have no bones, take a knife and make them kneel on the ground in a row, don't tie them with ropes, and cut off their heads one by one, and there is no one who dares to run, it's easier than killing chickens, hahahahaha."

"What's the point of killing, it's better to grab more things, this is the right reason, those officials in Nikan will really enjoy it, those beautiful girls I searched from those officials' mansions in Renqiu City some time ago, that taste, tsk......"

In the military tent in the camp of the Qing army, a group of Qing army generals and colonels were unscrupulous, loudly talking about the gains along the way, showing off the cities they had captured and the exploits they had obtained.

They were all scattered all over the country to conquer the city, and they were all ordered to come and converge.

This time, although the Han resistance was quite fierce at first, but now, as usual, the Han army has shrunk in those major cities, and they dare not go out of the city to fight with them.

They plundered all the way, as if no man's land, and the things they had looted over the years were more lucrative than the harvest of the entrance in previous years, how could they not make people happy.

After this battle, the gold and silver treasures obtained and the slaves stolen were enough to allow them to live a good life of fine clothes and food for several years.

These Nikans occupy a good place, unlike Liaodong and Monan, which are bitter cold places, if they can, they also want to live in this pass all the time and enjoy it.

"Smack!"

A whip sounded from outside the tent, and all the Qing army generals and colonies in the Chinese army tent closed in unison, and everyone's eyes turned to the outside of the tent for the first time.

Under the gaze of everyone, Dolgon, who was wearing silver-white armor and holding a single-edged helmet, and Yue Tuo, who was wearing red armor, walked into the tent together.

The two teams of armor wearing the same color armor as Dolgon and Yueto also followed the two into the tent of the Chinese army, and then stood in four places in the tent, one on the left and one on the right.

The relaxed and active atmosphere in the tent suddenly became solemn.

All the Qing army generals and colonels restrained their expressions, straightened their backs, lowered their heads, and sat with their hands flat on their knees.

Dolgon, with his helmet in his arms, walked all the way to the main seat, and sat separately from Yueto.

Dorgon sat down in the main seat, first glancing sideways at Yueto, who was sitting next to him, then downward, then at the generals in the tent, and finally at Dordor in the tent.

Dordor realized, stood up, clapped his hands, and two armorers wearing white flag armor pushed a huge map hanging into the tent.

"According to the latest report, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi Province of the Ming Kingdom, has led the troops to leave Zhending Mansion and enter Qingyuan in Baoning Mansion.

"Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to Zhending Mansion on the 22nd, and yesterday moved his camp to Zhaozhou, which is a hundred miles east of Zhending, and pursued our army as General Fengyi expected."

Duoduo's voice was not loud, but it was enough for all the generals in the tent to hear it clearly.

The atmosphere in the military tent was stagnant, and all the generals and colonels in the tent were waiting with bated breath for the next step.

Dolgon and Yue Tuo jointly summoned them to come, and there were more than 40,000 soldiers gathered in Hengshui, almost half of which accounted for the entry into the pass.

The gathering of troops must be for the sake of a big war, and all the Qing army generals and colonels present have already expected it in their hearts.

Now that I heard what Duoduo said, I also understood that this time the gathering of troops was probably aimed at Lu Xiangsheng.

"Our army is now deep into the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, and the army of the King of the Ming Kingdom is constantly coming, gathering more and more."

"Today's situation is not as good as the situation when I entered a few years ago, although my Qing Dynasty attacked smoothly this time, but it is still much more difficult than in the first year of Chongde, the Ming army is much stronger than a few years ago, and there are more and more troops who dare to fight in the field."

"If this problem is not solved, then it may be difficult for our army to take the harvest outside the customs."

The words of Duoduo spread in the tent and reached the ears of the people clearly.

"Therefore, our army should gather troops in one place, combine tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and use the momentum of thunder to annihilate the Ming army first, kill chickens and monkeys, and deter the army of the Ming Quartet! It will lose its courage and dare not confront our Qing Dynasty head-on. ”

There were a number of Qing army generals in the tent, and the faces of several generals and colonels also changed slightly.

Lu Xiangsheng's time as governor of Xuanda is not short, since he took office in Xuanda, the soldiers of the two towns of Xuanda have become visibly stronger.

Several major battles in Shunyi, Beijing, Qingdu and other places, Lu Xiangsheng's name was also remembered by the generals of the Qing army.

Several banner owners and generals of Mengbaqi also had different expressions at this time.

The reason why the Mongol tribes are willing to surrender now is that the death of Lin Dan Khan and the surrender of his son Ezhe are one major reason, and another major reason is that the Qing army has been pressing the Ming army to fight, and several major wars have gained a lot.

The Mongols took refuge in the Manchurians only because they could enter the customs and reap the benefits after attaching their wings, but they did not come to be cannon fodder to fight tough battles.

This time when I entered the customs, there were several major battles, and the most casualties were among the Mongols and Han Chinese, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria did not suffer much loss.

Now that they are gathering troops to prepare for a big war, most of them will be the vanguard and dead soldiers when the time comes, and they will fight tough battles as cannon fodder, how can there be no complaints in their hearts.

Everyone's expressions were all under Dorgon's eyes, Dolgon's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not rush to speak, he raised his hand slightly, and motioned for Dorgon to continue.

"Lu Xiangsheng's three generals are Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Datong, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi, a total of three battalions of soldiers and horses, of which more than half are cavalry.

Receiving Dorgon's order, Dodor walked up to the map and continued his explanation.

"Lu Xiangsheng once served as a daimyo soldier Beidao, in charge of the three prefectures of Daimyo, Guangping and Shunde, and his command of the Governor Biao Battalion is also known as the Tianxiong Army, most of them are the people in the Daimyo Mansion, well-armed, extremely strong combat power, mostly infantry soldiers, for the car battalion soldiers, equipped with a large number of guns and firearms, and they are the fierce enemies of our Qing Dynasty."

Duoduo's expression was serious, and he was not as relaxed as before.

The Xuanda army under the command of Lu Xiangsheng was indeed a formidable enemy, their morale was high, their armament was not bad, their numbers were large, and the generals dared to fight, which brought them a lot of trouble.

If they had attacked from the border of Xuanda, they would probably not have been able to cross the Great Wall and enter the Guannai at all.

The reason why he bypassed Zhuozhou and went south to plunder was because he was afraid of the Xuanda army led by Lu Xiangsheng.

But now, the troops under Lu Xiangsheng's command are not as many as they were in Changping.

The atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was a little dull because of Duoduo's words, and all the generals and colonels present had basically fought with Lu Xiangsheng, and they did not get any benefits.

And the more important thing, fighting against Lu Xiangsheng is bound to be a bitter battle, and it is not an easy task.

Lu Xiangsheng is a hard nut to crack, and even if he wins Lu Xiangsheng, he won't gain anything, so it's better to rob a few more cities.

Dolgon changed his sitting position, his eyes swept over everyone's body, and he said indifferently.

"What do you think, but it doesn't matter."

Dolgon's question, naturally, has not been answered, the gathered troops have already gathered, and the fact that Dolgon and Yue Tuo came in at the same time has already released a signal, and this time the decision of the two commanders has reached a consensus.

If you stand up at this time, you can't change the result at all, and if you really stand up, I'm afraid that you will become the target of Dolgon's prestige.

"You don't have to worry about the casualties under your banner, our army will win this battle, and it will definitely be a big victory."

Dorgon tapped lightly on the armrest, snorted coldly, and said in an unquestioning tone.

"Now the Xuanda army under Lu Xiangsheng has been divided several times, and the strength is extremely weak, only more than 8,000 people."

"This time, there are 40,000 soldiers in Hengshui in the Qing Dynasty, five times the army of Ming Guoxuan, Lu Xiangsheng was lured by our army as planned, and it is difficult to escape this catastrophe."

Mongolia's Red Flag Banner Master Buyandai's eyes rolled slightly, he thought for a while, stood up, and spoke.

"I have the same strategy as General Fengyi, if I first break the first army of the Ming State, and wait until the Qinwang army of the Ming State gathers here, it will be difficult for us to transport our hard-earned money out of the Guanwai, and the Ming army will dare to fight more and more, which will be extremely unfavorable to me after the Qing Dynasty."

Buyan Dynasty is a Mongolian, led the crowd from Xilatala to join Houjin, and later married Huang Taiji's daughter to become a second-class general, subordinate to Manchuria inlaid with red flags, after the establishment of the Mongolian Eight Banners, he naturally became the banner owner of the Mongolian inlaid red flag.

However, although he was related by in-law, his status was still lower than that of the banner owner of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

The red flag led by Buyandai was not rich, and the number was not large, and the casualties in several battles under the city of Beijing were quite heavy, and the harvest was not much.

Now that Dolgon is about to start a war again, he can only ask hard.

Being able to become the banner master and become a forehead attached, Buyandai is naturally not a stupid person, he first raised his hand of Dolgon, and then opened his mouth to ask the question he wanted.

"If our army attacks Lu Xiangsheng's department, if the Ming army's troops in the four directions rush to help, our army is only afraid that it will be encircled, if it can't annihilate Lu Xiangsheng's department with thunder, I am afraid that it will be quite difficult to evacuate later."

Buyandai's words won the approval of many of the Mongolian Eight Banner Banners, although most of the bannermen were Manchurians.

However, as the owners of the banner, the military strength of this banner is related to the power in their hands, and naturally it is also considered from the interests of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Dolgon's eyes were slightly condensed, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, but it was only a momentary thing, and it was not noticed by everyone.

Although over the years, he has led his troops to victory and accumulated a certain prestige in the army, but after all, he still can't compare with Huang Taiji.

If Huang Taiji comes, I am afraid that the military orders issued will not be questioned by anyone, and this is the gap......

"Rest assured, these things are all in my consideration."

Dolgon retracted the sharpness in his eyes and said in a calm and indifferent tone.

"Since Lu Xiangsheng became the governor of Xuanda, the army of the two towns of Xuanda has become stronger and stronger, if it is not eliminated at this time, it will be a trouble for my henchmen of the Qing Dynasty in the future, and the Ming court is now fighting infighting, which is the best opportunity to get rid of this person!"

Dolgon's tone intensified, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd.

The strong oppressive force made Budaiyan and the banner owners of the Mongolian Eight Banners all bow their heads involuntarily.

"The internal fighting in the Ming court is serious, I have already informed the inside story, if our army attacks Lu Xiangsheng's department, most of the high dives in the east will not come to the rescue."

"In order to prevent variables, I will also arrange a partial division to intercept to ensure the safety of my army."

"As for the Sun Chuanting Department that is now stationed in Boryeong Mansion, there is no need to worry."

Dorgon slowly stood up and strode forward, all the way to the large map hanging in the tent.

"The battlefield I chose is hundreds of miles away from Boryeong Mansion, even if Sun Chuanting's department gets the clear order, it won't be enough time to rush south to help!"

Dolgon turned to face the generals in the tent, and slowly pulled out the knife at his waist.

The knife was unsheathed, and the cold blade was as graceful as the cold autumn water in autumn, reflecting in the eyes of everyone, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but give birth to a chill.

"This is the place where I buried Lu Xiangsheng!"

Dolgon raised his knife and pointed diagonally, the tip of the knife facing a red mark on the map.

Everyone raised their eyes and looked at the tracks, and everyone saw the two bright red characters on the map - giant deer!
