Chapter 228: The Sword and the Rose Reluctantly
Chapter 228: The Sword and the Rose are reluctant to ask
What is called "riding a tiger is difficult", look at Dolgon to know now.
Along the way, he came to this place smoothly, but he was suddenly coldly given to him by Pyongyang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was annoyed and angry.
The first time he lost, he gave himself a reason, that was because he underestimated the other party and was too careless, but this time he lost and he couldn't find a reason in his heart that he could accept.
Azig was in the pass, he was able to lead tens of thousands of people, beat hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, and pulled out the city and took the fortress invincible, how did he get to his own place, he became struggling and frustrated again and again? Dolgon looked down on Azig's recklessness, but at this time, under the city of Pyongyang, these barbarians used blood and fire to tell him a truth that he had never been willing to face before: Perhaps, this leader fights, he is really a little worse than Azig.
"No, never!" Dorgon clenched his fists and said to himself fiercely, then he took a deep breath and shouted outside the tent, "Pass Bordo!" ”
Earlier, Bordo returned to the camp and reported the attack on the eastern city to Dolgon, but fortunately, Bordo was old and serious, and as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately withdrew his soldiers, and compared with Dolgon's attack in the front, the casualties were much less.
Originally, he would have thought that even if Dolgon was not angry, he would take this opportunity to attack and cure him for advocating the withdrawal of the army without authorization, but he didn't expect that after Dolgon heard his report on the battle situation clearly, he was silent for a while, and then said lightly: I know! And he sent him down to rest.
Bordo, who didn't get Dolgon's clear attitude, where could he rest in peace, he hadn't been heartless to that point, and when he heard the king's call, he was naturally a spirit, and he quickly appeared in Dolgon's big tent.
"Bordo, we have lost so many manpower, but until now, even who the opponent is, I am not very clear, today's battle, I can be sure, this fluffy and floppy Korean barbarian, absolutely will not be able to fight such a battle, in this city, there must be a Ming army to support them, but today I took a closer look, and I didn't see their banner on the city?" Dolgon, as the two commanders of today's battle, the details of this battlefield can only be discussed by them.
In fact, there is no need for Dolgon to remind him of this problem, Bordo has already paid attention to it, but unfortunately, he, like the current Dolgon, is also confused.
"Lord Wang, the last general didn't see any Daming banner!" Bordo recalled again and said with certainty.
"For the general, knowing oneself but not knowing the other, this is a taboo for soldiers!" Dolgon said softly: "Since we set off from Shengjing, we haven't heard the news that the soldiers and horses from Liaodong have come here, could it be that this Ming general, like the king of Gongshun, is not allowed by the Ming Dynasty and came across the sea?" ”
King Gongshun is Kong Youde, after a period of disaster in Shandong, he directly boarded the ship and went to sea to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after the establishment of the Emperor Taiji, he was directly named the King of Gongshun, and then it was not until the Kangxi period that he was cut down.
Bordo's eyes lit up, if it was really as Dolgon said, this Ming general would be Kong Youde and his ilk, there is no doubt that he had taken refuge in the wrong master, how could the crumbling small Korean court be compared with the thriving Qing Dynasty, if this general and his subordinates could be pulled under the banner of the Qing Dynasty, there was no doubt that this battle of Pyongyang would have a happy ending, and even, even the previous small defeat would not be so dazzling in front of those masters in Shengjing.
"Look at it!" Dorgon pushed a picture in front of him, "This is the flag of the enemy army drawn by impression of the soldiers who have recently retreated, except for the banners of the Korean barbarians, this style of flag appears the most, you have seen a lot of knowledge, have you ever seen such a flag before?" ”
In fact, among the senior generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the illiterate ones are also in the vast majority, and some orders are issued in words, and I don't know how many forks will go wrong, so that in the army, most of them use graphic tools to spread orders, or they directly use their mouths to pass on word of mouth.
Take the drawing, on it are two crossed long swords, and then, in the middle of the two crossed long swords, a flower is stretching its petals extremely arrogantly.
"What is this? Swords and flowers? Bordo looked up and looked at Dolgon, his eyes blank.
***
"Wrong, what sword and flower? I don't have any knowledge at all, this is called a sword and a rose, have you ever seen a rose, well, I guess you don't know it if you see it! Velasco said triumphantly correcting Cui Yanghao and pointing to the banner waving in the wind above his head.
"The sword, which represents courage and fearlessness, and the rose which represents purity and goodness, is not a gift from our Majesty the King, but it is a gift from a great man who is in no way inferior to that of our Majesty, and I have decided that I, the Velasco family, will pass on this sword and the rose as the coat of arms of my family forever! I, the warriors of the House of Velasco, will gather under the banner of the Sword and the Rose and spread their bravery to all directions! ”
"Sir, sir! Ahem! Cui Yanghao had to stop the topic of Velasco, wasn't he talking about the previous battle just now? Why did the topic come to this banner in a daze, and then it came to his family's coat of arms, this Sir Velasco was a chatterbox, why didn't he think it before.
"Oh, by the way, what are you looking for me?" Velasco also reacted, the other party probably didn't come to listen to his own future development plan for his family, but today his teaching camp has made a big splash, and he has received a lot of rewards, and his heart is inevitably a little excited, this is off-topic, that is, it is normal to be tight.
Cui Yanghao was a little speechless, today's battle, the performance of the Korean soldiers under his command was lackluster, if it was not for the realization of the persuasion of the people to leave the range of the catapult, he barely did something, he simply did nothing, long-range attack and close combat, in the end to teach the camp to fight hand-to-hand at the head of the city, his people almost did not come in any use, and even, some of the generals of the Fengzi battalion even disliked these Korean soldiers in the way, and because of the orders from above, they could not be left far away, directly instructed these North Korean soldiers to do the work of the people, so that the people who were later transferred went to the city and found that his work had already been robbed.
Cui Yanghao is a swarm of bees in the Fengzi battalion, this is easy to say, in fact, it is difficult to say, although now everyone is together, united and cooperative, and overcome difficulties together, it stands to reason that this resource is to be shared, there is no reason for the weapons and equipment used by the Fengzi battalion to be better than the weapons and equipment of the North Korean soldiers, if that is the case, it is too bad to have a sense of the overall situation, and if the real Fengzi battalion is so self-cherished, it will also be a disaster for the city defense of the whole city, after all, where is the city wall defense strong, Where the defense of the city wall is weak, the enemy will know it as soon as he tries it, and when the enemy breaks in from the weak point of defense, no matter how strong the defense on your wall is, it will not make much sense.
However, what makes Cui Yanghao sit on wax is that since he handed over the command, the defense of Pyongyang City has basically been taken over by the Fengzi Battalion, and his soldiers are not even qualified to be in charge of a section of the city wall alone.
"That, the kind of equipment that your army can fire a lot of sharp arrows at one time, it's called a swarm of bees!" Cui Yanhao said in a hurry.
Velasco restrained his smile, looked carefully at Cui Yanghao's face, and shook his head slightly, he is also an old sparrow on Dongting Lake, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, Cui Yanghao is so cowardly, and he mentioned a swarm of bees, how can he not know what the other party wants to say.
"No! Cui-sama! He directly blocked Cui Yanghao's mouth, Yu Feng looked at these muskets and firearms and other technical materials in the army, Cui Yanghao didn't know, didn't he know? Although he firmly believes that everything in this world has its own price, he doesn't think that Cui Yanghao can pay for what he wants, if Cui Yanhao can suddenly drag out dozens of cannons from his own warehouse, it is possible to discuss it, but is it possible for him?
Thinking of the cannon, he thought of a few of his subordinates sent to Macau, this time he put a line for the adult, the cannon purchased in his name, should be a little eyebrow-raising, if he can buy back the latest batch of cannons in Europe for the adult this time, I don't know how the adult will reward himself? At present, the territory of adults is getting bigger and bigger, if you can give yourself a fief and make yourself a veritable military nobleman, it will be something that you will wake up laughing at even your dreams.
"Is it really non-negotiable?" Cui Yanghao looked at Velasco with blank eyes, "If it's a matter of money, Sir doesn't have to worry!" General Yu is a subordinate of Commander Yun, if Sir comes forward, he can't even give Sir this face! ”
"You don't understand!" Velasco shook his head firmly, "This is about my Velasco Business Group, I can't sell my own interests!" Master Cui, I'm really sorry! Advanced technology is the foundation of the survival of the Velasco Business Group, and everyone in the Business Group knows that without the support of these foundations, the Velasco Business Group is nothing! ”
