Chapter Seventy-Six: Counterattack
Mang Gurtai originally thought that Huang Taiji, who had suffered such a crushing defeat, would definitely lose his prestige in the eyes of the Baylors.
If you jump out and raise your arms, you will definitely be able to get a lot of recognition.
Even if Huang Taiji can't be forced to abdicate, he can make concessions and restore the previous situation where the four Baylors were in power in rotation.
But what he didn't expect was that the situation in Jianzhou has changed.
Many little Baylors in the audience, the military power was given by Huang Taiji, and their hearts were all towards Huang Taiji.
The big Baylors on the stage are rat throwers, silent as cicadas.
Without him, Abatai's death made them feel both grief and anger, and a trace of panic.
Countless military victories and looting of the Ming Dynasty have made the Eight Banners arrogant gradually, and entering the customs is like GTA on the island, going is going home, and the sack is filled with money, and I have never considered that the Ming Dynasty may resist.
Yes, Yuan Butang relied on several fortified cities and won a few battles, but he did not have the ability to go out of the city to fight.
The brothers burned Juehua Island and burned the accumulation near Jinzhou in Ningyuan, did Yuan Butang dare to go out of the city to resist?
But this time, Yuan Chonghuan actually took the initiative to set up an ambush and annihilate most of Abatai, which made the nobles of the various departments of Jianzhou have a bad premonition in a haze.
Will the offensive and defensive trend be reversed from now on?
In this situation, everyone is more eager for Huang Taiji to be a strong leader, to extinguish their worries about the future, to comfort them, and the Mandate of Heaven is still on the side of Jianzhou.
And Mang Gurtai's behavior of taking the opportunity to attack Huang Taiji seems a little too inappropriate.
Dorgon, the secretary of the ministry, was keenly aware of the situation on the field and was the first to stand up.
"Mang Gurtai, you bold rebel! When the Great Khan asked you if you could lead your troops to the Great Linghe Fort, you refused, so the Great Khan asked Abatai to lead the troops to fight for you. ”
"Nearly half of Abatai's command is his own Niulu, and the rest are not all of your people. How dare you roar here like this, saying what the Great Khan is going to be bad for the Blue Banner? ”
Mang Gurtai was about to argue, but Dolgon continued to grab the white road, "Besides, before Abatai sent his troops, the Great Khan had already ordered him to guard the Qing banner of the Han army, go to the deep ditch and high fortress in front of the Ming army's fortress, and prepare to attack the city. When we meet the elite of my Eight Banners, we will go south in one fell swoop. ”
"Now Abatai and the elite cavalry were lost to the west of the Daling River, but most of the infantry battalions of the Han Army's Qingqi and Zhenglanqi in the east of the river fled back. It can be seen that his own family underestimated the enemy's rash advance, resulting in the death of his teacher, how dare you blame the Great Khan for his crimes? ”
Mang Gurtai was speechless for a while, he was not a fine person, and he had a cursory look at the battle reports from the front line, but he did not analyze so many joints.
Seeing that everyone nodded one after another, he was obviously extremely convinced by Dolgon's inference that the defeat of Abatai was purely a personal factor and not a decline in Jianzhou's combat power.
But I heard Dolgon ask again, "Mang Gurtai, now that you love the new country and use troops in all directions, and it is this eventful autumn, you don't want to share worries for the country, but instead plan to attack the Great Khan and covet the Khan's position, what kind of wolf ambition do you have?" ”
"No wonder I've heard people say that you didn't hesitate to kill your mother in order to please the old Khan King. What a disloyal, unfilial, and brazen person! ”
The reckless Gurtai, who originally had the intention of retreating, was completely enraged by Dolgon's last words, and with a bang, the waist knife came out of the sheath, and he was about to slash Dolgon!
It turned out that Mang Gurtai's mother, Fucha, had an affair with Daishan, and the matter was discovered by Nurhachi.
For the sake of his own face, Nurhachi abandoned the Fucha clan on the charge of concealing property. Even Mang Gurtai, who was born with the Fucha clan, was disgusted with a lot.
Who knew that after the violent death of the Fucha clan, Nurhachi seemed to have a change of heart, trusted Mang Gurtai a lot, and also rewarded him with a lot of household property. This led to rumors that Mang Gurtai killed his mother and invited him to pet.
Mang Gurtai was told by Dolgon to be so private, and he was so anxious to kill this little rabbit cub. But a few strong men with big shoulders and round waists had already rushed out of Azig and Deg around him and hugged him firmly.
Mang Gurtai was still struggling, and Derge whispered in his ear, "Big brother, don't mess around anymore, Father Khan attached great importance to flesh and blood affection during his lifetime. If you see blood today, then you will be rich and rich, and you will rest from now on! ”
Mang Gurtai was persuaded by his younger brother from the same mother, and he also sobered up a lot, and pushed the boat down the river and slid the knife to the ground.
It's just that at this time, Dolgon was unforgiving, and continued to reprimand, "Mang Gurtai, I didn't expect you to be so bold and reckless, and you would show your sword in front of you and try to commit murder!" ”
He bowed his hand to Huang Taiji and said, "Great Khan, how to deal with such rebellious people, please give me instructions!" ”
Mang Gurtai saw that Huang Taiji's face was not good, and then he suddenly realized that from beginning to end, this was just a double reed sung by Huang Taiji and Dolgon.
Otherwise, in the year of Fucha's violent death, Dolgon had not yet been weaned, where could he know so much?
It's just that at this time, Huang Taiji's prestige was already heavy, and he casually sent Mang Gurtai to punish the crime, and completely stripped him of his control of the Zhenglan Banner. It will not help to let the reckless Gurtai cry out for injustice.
Having disposed of Mang Gurtai, Dolgon said, "Great Khan, how should we deal with Yuan Butang's offensive now, please give us a decision." ”
Although Huang Taiji had just received the news, he obviously already had an idea, and first said his fate to Abatai.
"Abatai disregarded the military order, rashly broke away from the Chinese army, died in ambush, and should be punished."
Huang Taiji glanced at everyone, "But he has the courage to do things, and he doesn't care about personal gains and losses, I think he will still be rewarded." ”
And the faces of the people were ashamed.
It is obvious that there is no need for so many banner owners to come to Heilongjiang to hunt the "Shengjurchen", but everyone is crowded here in order to collect this group of brave and warlike Shengjurchen under his command as soon as possible.
At this point in time, Abatai is still stupid to thanklessly face Yuan Chonghuan, and he is indeed loyal.
"Reward and punishment at the same time, I will punish all the cattle under the command of Abatai, and revoke the title of Baylor. At the same time, he rewarded his son with 500 good horses and promoted him to Taiji. ”
Everyone was thoughtful, Huang Taiji seemed to have punished Abatai very heavily, but in fact, he was raised high and gently put down.
After all, Abatai's direct Niu Lu had long been lost in the Battle of Da Ling River, and his title of Baylor could not be inherited, these punishments essentially had no effect on his bereaved family, but Huang Taiji's reward for his orphan really helped his descendants.
After talking about Abatai's disposition, Huang Taiji began to make military arrangements for the next step of Jianzhou.
First of all, let his son be the owner of the blue flag, and he will lead the two yellow flags alone.
Then the Jurchens who came from this "hunting" were evenly distributed among the other banner owners.
Although Huang Taiji got the most benefits, the benefits were evenly matched, and others did not object.
Huang Taiji looked around at everyone, "I know, everyone is still waiting for me to come up with an idea, after this battle, do you want to kill Ming?" ”
"But I want to ask you, what will happen if we don't go south to war, but watch from the wall?"
