Bumu Butai's eyes stayed on Zilharang for a while, and Jilharang hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, these details made Bumu Butai suspicious.

Zilharang is the right and left hand of the former emperor Taiji, he is the sixth son of Nurhachi's younger brother Shulhachi who intends to split, and has long lost the right to inherit the throne of the Qing Dynasty, but he is shrewd and loyal to Huang Taiji, so he has become an important force for Huang Taiji to balance other political forces, and he is also an evergreen tree in the Qing Dynasty political arena, and has long served as the banner owner of the blue flag.

It's just that after the death of Huang Taiji, there was a change, in order to balance Dolgon, Zilharang was supported as an auxiliary king, but Zilharang became a good man, and did not take the lead in fighting with Dolgon, but like Daishan, he chose neutrality, and in response to national affairs, it was Dolgon who made the decision, which directly caused the dominance of the two white flags in the Manchu Dynasty.

Whether it was Zilharang's fear of Dolgon, or Mingzhe's self-preservation, Bumu Butai thought that if the Ming army landed in southern Liaoning, he should report it to Dolgon as soon as possible, but together with Sony, he blocked the news and entered the palace to ask for instructions, and Bumu Butai was a little puzzled.

Sonny stood in place, impatient, and saw that Bumu Butai didn't know what to do, so he could only knock on the side and say: "Queen Mother, now is not the time to hesitate, the Great Qing Dynasty has come out, there is no army in southern Liaoning, and in the Fuzhou area, the relatives with blue flags are looking forward to the master sending troops to protect them." ”

Bumu Butai heard the three words of the blue flag, and immediately reacted, south of the Fuzhou River, is the cantonment of Manchuria with the blue flag, and Jierharang is the banner owner of the blue flag, the Qing army landed, if the first declaration of the customs of Dolgon and then move the troops, back and forth, ten days can not be stopped, plus the time to send troops south, I am afraid that the Fuzhou area has been robbed, that is the loss of his Zilharang.

And if he moves the army without permission, even if he saves the blue flag, in the future, when Dorgon returns, he will inevitably be blamed for Zilharang. So this guy hurriedly entered the palace and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get the queen mother to order troops.

"Old fox ........" Bumu Butai scolded a few words, and looked at Sonny's eyes much gentler, but she couldn't expose Zilharang's careful thoughts, and even took the opportunity to win him over, so she looked at Sony: "Sonny Bakshi, you have always been wise, what do you think?" ”

Sonny already had a strategy, he glanced at Zilharang, and said: "Queen Mother, now I don't know who those people are who landed in Fuzhou, the strength of the troops, maybe it's just some idle Ming troops fighting the autumn wind, it is better to send a cavalry from the outer Mongolian domain to conquer."

But if the enemy is too strong to deal with, then it must be taken seriously, and His Royal Highness Prince Zheng must personally lead the army to make a trip. ”

Bumu Butai nodded slightly, thinking that this method was good, if Fuzhou landed some miscellaneous soldiers, and sent the Horqin people to drive them to the sea, they would be able to sell Zilharang a face. Dispatching the cavalry of his mother's family stationed near Shengjing, Bumu Butai didn't need to tell anyone, so he took responsibility for this matter.

But if it's really difficult to deal with, let Jilharang personally conscript, since the death of Huang Taiji, Jierharang is wise to protect himself, not to touch the military power, and now he can't help it, forcing him to lead the army, it can also make Dolgon jealous of him to have the mind to resist the court, for Fulin, it is also a big gain.

"Prince Zheng....... What do you see? ”

"Sony-sama's plan is good." Zilharang knew that he couldn't get through this without giving something.

Bumu Butai asked, "Then who should lead the troops?" ”

"At present, the outer feudal soldiers near the left side of the capital are only the Horqin cavalry, which is naturally the most suitable for the king of Baturu County to lead the troops." Zilharang said.

The cavalry of the Manzhu Xili suffered a lot of losses in the battle of Wallziling, and retreated for no reason, abandoning the friendly forces of the two yellow flags. In order to give an account to the two yellow flags, Dolgon also beat it, detained half of the cavalry under the command of Manzhu Xili, handed it over to the general of Horqin, and drove him back to escort the grain and grass.

And Manzhu Xili led the troops back to Shengjing, that is, he became the shopkeeper of the hand, and every day he went in and out of the palace, or drank and feasted in his residence, so he was not happy.

Bumu Butai shook his head: "No, the elder brother of this palace, this palace knows, he likes to take advantage of it, and he is lazy and can't afford big things." ”

It can be seen from the battle of Qiangziling that Manzhu Xili can't take responsibility, but Sony knows that the Queen Mother must be more than just this truth, she is eating in the bowl, looking at the lord in the pot, Sonny's eyes grunted, and said: "Now the kings of the clan and the solid mountains of the banners, or serving on the front line, or managing grain and grass military affairs, are not easy to deploy, and the slaves think about it, and think that Luck Dehun may be available, I don't know what the Queen Mother and Prince Zheng think?" ”

Zilharang's eyes lit up, and then his expression changed slightly, and he said, "It's all up to the Queen Mother." ”

Twenty-six-year-old grandson of Prince Dai Shan, Luckedhun inherited the intelligence and prowess of his father Sakharin, and had already risen to prominence during the Huang Tai Chi era.

But the problem is that after the death of Huang Taiji, the political scene in Manchuria was turbulent because of the support of the new monarch, and in the process of the dispute between Dolgon and Hauge, Luckdhun's uncle Shuoto and his brother Adali made a wrong decision.

As a result, the actions of the two angered all parties, and they were finally directly arrested by Dai Shan, who directly executed his son and grandson in order to protect the two red flags from the twists and turns of the inheritance of the throne, and in order to regain control of the two red flags.

Luckedhun was not involved, but because he had always been friendly with Adali and could not prove his innocence, he was implicated, and although he saved his life, he also lost his clan name, and was directly stripped of his knighthood, becoming an ordinary banner citizen under Hauge's name.

He was regarded as Dorgon's sworn friend, and Hauge naturally would not treat him favorably, so Luckedhun was repeatedly humiliated, and it was Bumu Butai who came forward to save his life.

And this matter is also reasonable, Luckedhun is both Dorgon's sworn friend and Daishan's grandson, so it makes sense.

Liaodong Peninsula, north of Gaizhou, Dongchangbao area.

After a day's journey north from Gaizhou, I left the hills of the Liaodong Peninsula behind, and in front of me was a smooth Liaohe loop.

It's just that under the devastation of the protracted war and the large-scale massacre of the Nurhachi era, the fields and houses here have been deserted, and the hot wind has swept by, bringing up not wheat waves, but patches of grass ripples, like a lake blown by the wind.

Zheng Sen rode on a horse, vigilantly observing the surroundings, probing around with a telescope from time to time, and the war horse under his crotch made a dull breathing sound.

It has been three days since the landing, and there are still more than 40 people in his loyal and filial piety battalion who have no horses, mainly when they were in western Liaoning, they only bought half of the horses, because he belonged to the Guangdong army, and he could only buy horses in the area of western Liaoning and Denglai, while the cavalry battalion of the Eastern Brigade was already equipped with war horses.

Fortunately, under the rule of Manchuria, whether it was the Manchurian and Han Eight Banners or the vassal army, there was no shortage of horses, since the landing, even broke four Zhuangtun, and got more than 70 horses, which directly caused Li Zhaoji to change the order, let the follow-up fleet suspend the transport of horses, and transport the infantry and ammunition ships first.

Suddenly, a few drops of rain fell, Zheng Sen raised his head, and found that the sky was still clear just now, and now there were dark clouds, in yesterday morning, the Zhongxiao camp experienced a rain in Liaodong, which came and went quickly, but the wind from the sea was very strong, which would cause the horses to be irritable and even lost.

"Go to that abandoned village to take shelter from the rain." Zheng Sen pointed to the ruins in the distance and shouted at his subordinates.

Immediately, the soldiers of the Zhongxiao battalion hurried away, hid in the village, used the broken walls to set up tents, dismantled some doors and windows and lit flames, not only sheltered from the rain, but also ate a hot meal.

Facts have proved that Zheng Sen's choice is right, an hour of heavy rain, the wind is like a ghost crying wolf, the downpour has turned the grass into a lake, the road is difficult to walk, and after the rainstorm is over, the sun comes out of the gap in the dark clouds from time to time, the sky and the earth will be bright and dim, as if there is a huge monster hidden above the dark clouds, the torn dark clouds, the light projected is the eyes of the monster.

Therefore, even if the rain stopped and the water on the ground receded, Zheng Sen did not want the soldiers of the Zhongxiao Battalion to continue to advance, and at this time, a group of cavalry approached, and the small Qinglong flag planted behind him was fierce in the wind, and the whistle he wore made a sharp sound in the gallop, which was the standard configuration of the cavalry of the Eastern Brigade.

"What about Zheng Gongzi?" Far away, Zheng Sen heard Tang Mu's voice.

"General Tang!" Zheng Sen stood up and beckoned Tang Mu over.

Tang Mu dismounted and went to Zheng Sen's side, while the cavalry beside him tied their horses, each found a dry corner, or smoked or ate dry food, chatting in various dialects, and the comparisons were endless.

Unlike the cavalry under Zheng Sen's command who were all born in the Guangdong army, the cavalry under Tang Mu's command was very complicated, some of them were hired cavalry in Guangdong Province, and most of them were born in the guard, many of them were familiar with Zheng Sen's command, but after arriving on Juehua Island, the Oriental Trading Company set up a recruitment flag, and those who had the ability did not refuse.

Liaoxi, Denglai, Tianjin Wei, many deserters, rangers, Xiangyong and the like, in the face of the favorable conditions offered by the Oriental Trading Company, have joined them, and even some Liaozhen battalion soldiers are also envious of their treatment, and they join with equipment, which makes them a little unhappy.

Even after the landing, after the capture of the villages, the Eastern Brigade also absorbed the coats to join, and these policies quickly filled the two reserve battalions of the Eastern Brigade, and there were still more than one manpower to fill the baggage and engineers. This brings a lot of conveniences, such as guides and the like, which are not lacking.

Tang Mu arrived closer, first grabbed the hot water and drank a few sips, and then stuffed the roasted meat into his mouth, not polite at all, he pointed to the northwest direction and said: "Twenty miles northwest from here, there is a Bali River, some Mongols are crossing the river, the scouts said that there are at least twenty carts, and there are many cattle, sheep and livestock, and many horses.

How about it, Zheng Gongzi, are you interested in doing a vote, I promise, after this battle, your loyalty and filial piety camp, everyone can be matched with one person and two horses.

The only problem is that Lee Rae-hyung is also ready to participate. ”

The expression on Zheng Sen's face was very exciting, first he was excited because he could be alone and two horses, and then his face was gloomy.

In this attack on Liaodong, Li Zhaoji showed sincerity to Zheng Sen as much as possible, and even did not hide the fact that there were thieves joining and the identity of the prison army.

However, Zheng Sen obviously had an extremely strong resistance to fighting side by side with the enemy of the national enemy who killed Chongzhen, because he did not allow Li Laiheng's men to enter his Zhongxiao camp, so the results achieved by the Zhongxiao camp did not count.

Tang Mu put on a string of mutton and continued to roast it, he said lightly: "Li Chuang is no longer a small force, when they are thieves, the imperial court has been helpless for more than ten years, not to mention that people account for half of the country. If I were a Ming general and had the opportunity to contact Li Chuang's generals, I would be very happy, and I would try to understand him, win him over, and divide him.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Zheng Sen glanced at Tang Mu deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will listen to your command, but in my loyal and filial piety camp, there can be no thieves in the prison army." ”

"That's natural, that's what I promised you when I was in Gaizhou."

"After the victory, I will give priority to the selection of war horses, one person and two horses, and another hundred spare."

"Yes, there are a lot of horses there anyway, and we can only get more in the future, and your loyalty and filial piety camp is only two hundred people."
