Chapter Seventy-Four: Take a Walk and Take a Look

"Cow, you're good, you're great!"

The level of Chinese spoken by Saling Naha is quite good.

This is due to the fact that his mother was not only Han Chinese, but also the wife of an official in Liaodong during the Ming Dynasty.

After confirming the retreat of the Ming army, as the supreme commander of the Qing army here, Naha immediately gave Niu Wancheng a high degree of affirmation to Niu Wancheng, who came to "respond".

"The end will be late, please forgive me!"

Niu Wancheng "horn" sleeves were beaten, and he gave Naha a standard flag man salute.

He can't fight a war, he is still quite good at life, otherwise he wouldn't have mixed from a small soldier to a deputy general.

The leader is the fourth grade, but the deputy general is from the second grade!

But Niu Wancheng, whose grade was obviously higher than the other party, consciously bowed, and did not dare to be disrespectful to this Manchurian leader.

This is the unspoken plan of the Qing Dynasty officialdom - the flagkeepers are born to be one level taller.

Even Hong Chengchou, a retired bachelor, would never dare to hold on to him in front of the Manchurian leader.

Next, Niu Wancheng made touching words, and said that he was late, which caused the Manchurian soldiers to suffer certain losses.

Of course, the losses of the Manchurian soldiers were mainly caused by the Ming thieves posing as Qing soldiers, rather than by the dignified battles.

Don't mention the embarrassment of Lord Naha just now.

"These thieves are really cunning, they even disguised themselves as our army, making people unguardable, it's really hateful!"

For the enemy's cunning methods, Niu Wancheng gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and was very indignant.

Naha deeply understood this, and out of careful consideration, he pondered for a moment and said: "The official here has to go to Zhushan to report to the general in person." ”

It is necessary to report in person, otherwise some things are difficult to explain.

The death of Du Min, the deputy capital commander, has a lot to do with it.

If he can't get rid of his responsibilities in time, and the court gets angry, it's not something that he, a little leader, can bear.

The problem is that no matter how you look at it, his return to Zhushan now is like an escape.

So, he needs a step.

This step is of course provided by the considerate Lieutenant Niu.

Although one of the two is the Eight Banners of the Xi'an Garrison and the other is the Huguang Green Battalion, the two sides have no affiliation, but under the same banner of the Qing Dynasty, this subordination can be fine-tuned.

So, Naha solemnly gave Niu Wancheng a military order, that is, he led his troops to advance to Lao Mugang to ensure that the Ming army could not break through.

In addition to returning to Zhushan to explain the situation, Lord Zuo Ling will also ask the general to send heavy troops to Lao Mugang to continue to encircle and suppress the Ming army.

I just don't know if the deputy general of the Huguang Green Battalion is willing to cooperate.

The results made him very satisfied.

"The last general is willing to listen to the send!"

Niu Wancheng agreed very happily in his mouth, but he was beating the drum in his heart, because he didn't know that Wang Wutong didn't agree with him approaching Lao Mugang.

Fortunately, Lord Zuoling just let him advance towards Lao Mu Kong, and did not let him recapture Lao Mu Kong.

This is negotiable.

"Good!"

For the loyal and well-behaved green battalion general in front of him, Na Hata was happy in his heart, and he didn't say much at the moment, leading a group of Manchurian remnants to retreat in the direction of Zhushan.

"My lord, are we really going to Lao Mugang?"

Qi Kui was a little dissatisfied with the decision of the lieutenant general, and they could completely ignore the request of this Manchurian commander, because if they continued to go deeper, they would most likely be attacked by the Ming army.

After all, the Ming army had just defeated the Manchurian Eight Banners Army, and judging from the current situation, Liu Tichun of Lao Mugang was likely to be out of danger, so Liu Tichun might relaunch a counterattack on the Western Front.

Then didn't they become the primary target of the Ming army?

Niu Wancheng only said six words: "Take a walk and take a look." ”

And asked Qi Kui to prepare an official document and send someone to report to the Admiral's Office, in addition to explaining that they were marching towards Lao Mugang, the most important thing was to successfully rescue more than 100 Manchurian soldiers.

This is because he is afraid that after the leader goes back, he will refuse to truthfully report his rescue credit to the above because of his face.

.......

After sending Niu Wancheng a personal favor, Wang Wu led people to retreat.

He was able to create a record of defeating the Qing army in a few days, relying on surprise, not how strong the Ming army was.

If you really want to meet a Qing army that dares to fight, most of the Ming army will still lose.

For example, the most capable Qing army Li Guoying on the Western Front.

Therefore, Wang Wu now also needs Niu Wancheng, a familiar Qing army, to be closest to him, otherwise if he changes to an unfamiliar Qing army, it will become a big rout if he doesn't get the transfer to the Yellow Lawn.

"The king does not leave the cow, and the cow does not leave the king", which is the current situation that is most in line with the interests of the Wushan Ming army.

After meeting with Tian Wen and Ma Sizhong again, Wang Wu simply counted the number of people.

He brought 800 people from the village house in his back to respond, and more than 50 people were killed or injured on the way, and more than 30 people were left behind, so there are more than 710 soldiers.

Tian Wen, Ma Sizhong, and Zhang Tianwang, together with more than 900 family members, successively collected several batches of women and children rescued from the butcher's knife of the Qing army on the way, making the total number of the team reach more than 1,500 people.

That is, the team transferred as the second batch has a total of more than 2,200 people.

There are more than 1,400 soldiers who can fight.

After telling Ma Sizhong and others the news of Liu Tichun's martyrdom, all the generals were shocked, and then extremely sad, even Zhang Tianwang, who had a hostile attitude towards Shunying, also had a relative, and sighed.

After everyone's mood calmed down a little, Wang Wu said that he would go to Huangcaoping to meet Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi next.

Zhang Tianfang immediately objected: "Since the Qing army in the vicinity of dozens of miles has been defeated by us, then we can continue to fight the Qing army to the end based on Lao Mugang!" ”

This view is echoed by many people.

Giving up the familiar old Mu Gang and going to the unfamiliar yellow lawn is indeed a little incomprehensible.

Wang Wu smiled bitterly and told everyone that the Qing army had carried out a brutal "cave sweeping" operation in this area.

"Most of the people in the nearby village have been killed, the food has also been burned, and the houses that can live in it have also been burned, so now the entire Laomugang base area has actually been reduced to ruins, we have no food, no shelter, how can we persevere?"

Wang Wu bluntly said that after joining forces with Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi, they could not stay in the Yellow Lawn, but would break through in the direction of Xingshan at all costs, and strive to meet with the tiger marshal Li Laiheng.

In this way, we can persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to escape the fate of being strangled by the Qing army.

Compared with the Qing army in Shaanxi and the Qing army in Sichuan, the Qing army in Huguang, which was beaten by the Ming army, is the best soft persimmon.

The key to breaking the game is also on the Huguang Qing army.

"Listen to the five brothers, let's go to meet with the Duke of Jingguo and the Marquis of Nan'an, and then go to the Duke of Linguo!"

Zhang Tianwang's title for Yuan Shoudi, Hao Shaoqi, and Li Laiheng is the title conferred by the Yongli Imperial Court, which is slightly different from what Ma Sizhong said about "Yuan Shuai", "Hao Shuai", and "Tiger Shuai".

It can be seen that Liu Tichun's martyrdom certainly made Zhang Tianwang have a certain change in his view of Shunying, but the pain is always difficult to dissipate in the short term.

In particular, Hao Shaoqi also kidnapped Emperor Yongli back then.

And Li Laiheng did not listen to the Yongli court, and even refused to meet Yongli.

Thanks to the prestige that Wang Wu had established through bloody battles, the outcome of the military council was decided by his decision.

After simply packing up, the team of more than 2,000 people moved in the direction of Lao Mugang.

Different from the overall solemn, heavy, and decisive atmosphere of the previous team, this time there was more laughter in the team.

Rare ease.

The victory of killing Du Min, the deputy commander of Manchuria, killing the rebel generals Tian Heng and Wan He, and successively defeating the Green Battalion and the Manchurian Eight Banners, made the soldiers of the Ming army, who were originally condensed because of their vows not to surrender, have a little more pride in their eyes!
