Chapter 172

Dajin is a country where strength is king, and of course, all of them believe in the law of survival that things are selected by nature and the strong are respected.

The current strength of the Dajin Kingdom has been hit hard, especially the prestige of Huang Taiji has been hit hard, and the strength of the two yellow flags has also been hit hard, the two blue flags have no right to speak, and the loss of the two red flags is not light, among the eight flags, the loss of the two white flags is the lightest.

At that time, Nurhachi wanted to pass on the throne to Dolgon, but Dolgon was too young and lacked strength, in fact, among the four Belles who had the best chance of becoming the king of Khan, the one with the best chance of becoming the heir to the Khan throne was Daishan.

Dolgon's mother Abahai gave birth to Dolgon after having postpartum stroke, because Daishan and Abahai are of the same age, Daishan is very kind, once a friend in the Central Plains sent Ejiao, the world knows that Ejiao has been a good medicine for the fetus since ancient times, and it can also prevent and treat postpartum stroke. Out of concern for Abahai, I sent it to her, but I didn't expect that after eating those ejiao, Abahai's illness was cured. often came and went, and the two got closer.

Soon after, there was an unclear scandal between Daishan and Abahai, the scandal was very outrageous, especially Abahai's youngest son Doduo, some people also said that Abahai was born to Daishan, Nurhachi was angry, and abolished the position of Daishan Dabele, otherwise, Daishan would have become the king of Khan.

Therefore, Daishan and Yuetuo will definitely not support Dolgon to become the king of Khan, Amin is Nurhachi's nephew, and there is a difference in intimacy, but Mang Gurtai is even worse. His mother offended Nurhachi out of jealousy. Nurhachi asked, who will kill this woman for me? Mang Gurtai walked out, "I! ”

So he got up and dropped his hand, and he took out his mother with one sword. Everyone saw that this man had become a great khan and could not see who killed whom. Because of the Daishan father and son, the two red flags supported Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji became the new Khan King.

In the Nurhachi period, there were forty-five oxen in the Yellow Banner, which was led by Nurhachi himself; inlaid with yellow flags, twenty oxen, also led by Nurhachi; Zhenghongqi, twenty-five Niulu, led by Dai Shan, the second son of Nurhachi; inlaid with red flags, twenty-six oxen, led by Yue Tuo, the eldest son of Daishan; Zhenglan Banner, twenty-one Niu Lu, led by Nurhachi's fifth son, Mang Gurtai; inlaid with a blue flag, thirty-three oxel, led by Nurhachi's nephew, Amin, the second son of Shulhaqi; Zhengbai Banner, twenty-five Niu Lu, led by Nurhachi's Eighth Emperor Taiji; Set with a white flag, fifteen oxen, and Du Du, the son of Chu Ying, the eldest son of Nurhachi, commanded.

Because Dai Shan and Yue Tuo supported Huang Taiji, they had seventy-six of the two hundred and ten Niu Lu of the Eight Banners, accounting for one-third, and had an absolute advantage.

But the problem is that among the eight banners now, the strongest ones have become the two white flags with the least losses, especially the six thousand Nurhachi's pro-army under Duoduo, these people can't even adjust the emperor's Taiji, with the support of Azig and Duoduo, Dolgon is expected to win the honor of the Khan.

However, Dolgon's expression was a little depressed, and he said, "Also...... Maybe. Old fifteen, it's not that I don't understand what you're saying, but I know that I have a direction to strive for in the future! ”

"Although I lost badly today, it also made me, let Daikin realize that a very strong opponent has risen and formed a pressure on Daikin like a Taishan overwhelming."

Dolgon swept away the decadence on his body, he clenched his fists, his eyes were like torches, and the blood in his body was boiling: "Dajin has been in Liaodong for decades, and it is the first time that he has encountered such a tough opponent, this strong opponent makes me feel terrified and excited, this is a qualified opponent!" Such an opponent is enough to fight! ”

Duoduo smiled and said, "This is the fourteenth brother I am familiar with!" ”

"Old fifteen, you're right, Cheng Shijie won a big victory this time...... However, Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, he is out of the limelight, I'm afraid that a big disaster is coming, right? ”

Dolgon looked at the dark night sky behind him: "I hope you don't die early at the hands of your own people, I hope ...... Let's hope we have another chance to meet on the battlefield again! If there is such a chance, I must defeat you with dignity and wash away today's shame with your blood! ”

"Brother Fourteen, we will all rely on you in the future!"

The meaning of Dordor's words was clear to Dorgon.

This Khan King was originally his, but because when Nurhachi died, he was still young, and among the four major Belles who were most qualified to inherit the Khan's throne, Dai Shan could not end up because of Abahai, otherwise, the strength of Shi Shi Shan and Yue Tuo's father and son was the strongest, and Niu Lu, a quarter of the Eight Banners.

Dai Shan was angry with him because of Abahai.

Because of this defeat, the two blue flags have been greatly weakened, and the two red flags have been severely damaged, and the two white flags are now half a catty against eight taels of the strength of the two yellow flags, not to mention that this defeat has greatly weakened the prestige of Huang Taiji.

Dolgon's chance has come.

……

Huang Taiji didn't know what Dolgon thought, he just thought about a reason, that is, Cheng Shijie could rely on barbed wire to consume them, so much so that he couldn't hold on and took the initiative to retreat.

In this way, Cheng Shijie can win this war at the lowest cost. However, now that he has figured it out, Cheng Shijie is drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Everything in the Dajin Kingdom is based on force, and force is the foundation of Dajin, and when the Ming army used 20,000 or 30,000 corpses to prove that Dajin's force was not as strong as they imagined, this foundation was also shaken.

"Cheng Shijie, you are so poisonous!"

Although Huang Taiji figured it out, he was still at a loss. In fact, in a death battle with Zhang Chun on the banks of the Daling River, more than 40,000 Ming troops were annihilated, and Dajin also suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and Huang Taiji's prestige began to waver.

This fiasco in Haizhou, the myth of Dakin's invincibility has been shattered, and the centrifugation of allies has become inevitable, he can see through the stakes, but he is powerless to resolve this crisis, unless Daikin can use a bigger victory to prove that Haizhou's fiasco is just accidental, they are still strong!

But the question is, does the army of Dajin, who has lost too much blood, still have the ability to prove this?

Before he knew it, Huang Taiji fell asleep and let out a slight snoring sound......

Hearing the snoring sound coming from inside the tent, Haoge, Yue Tuo, and Dai Shan all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Sui Ji became worried.

Daishan asked, "What about Azig?" ”

Yue Tuo said: "He is behind the back hall!" ”

"Dolgon is behind too?"

Haoge nodded and said, "Now it's the queen of the two white flags, why don't I go and bring Uncle Chang Fourteen back?" ”

"No need!"

Yue Tuo hurriedly said, "I'll take a look!" ”

He was really afraid that once Hauge was gone, he might not be able to come back.

In the originally peaceful situation of Dajin, it was not that there were no contradictions, but these contradictions were suppressed with the successive victories of Dajin.

There are actually a lot of problems in the Ming Dynasty, but if the Ming army maintains an absolute military superiority in the outside world, like the Wanli Korean War, and easily crushes the Jiannu, the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty will be much smaller.

The defeat this time was, first of all, that people's hearts were in turmoil.

Especially Shuo Zhen, who was even happier than eating honey.

Everyone else is worried about the future. Only Shuo sat in his little tent, and a small pot burned in the tent, in which large pieces of mutton were boiling with gravy, and the broth with chili oil was full of aroma.

Even if you don't have to eat, just smelling the fragrance makes the surrounding Jiannu drool.

Yue Tuo was about to lead the remnants of the Red Flag to meet Dolgon, but suddenly smelled the fragrance emanating from the Shuo tent, and Yue Tuo walked directly to the small tent.

Shuo Tuo turned his back to Shuo Tuo, his shoulders were shaking, Yue Tuo thought Shuo Tuo was worried and scared, but after a closer look, Shuo Tuo was actually drinking, drunk, and humming a song.

Yue Tuo frowned slightly, he pulled out the small knife on his body to eat meat, took out a large piece of mutton from the pot, and munched on it.

"This is my meat!"

"Second child, what's wrong with eating some meat from you?"

Yue Tuo said while eating: "Can't I eat it yet?" ”

However, when the mutton was entered, Yue Tuo's face instantly turned red: "You poisoned the meat?" ”

Yue Tuo thought about it and was wrong, this meat was eaten by Shuo Tuo himself, how could it be poisoned.

Seeing Yue Tuo being spicy with chili peppers and breaking out in a cold sweat, Shuo Tuo was very happy: "This tastes good, right?" ”

"Shhh

Yue Tuo didn't even bother to speak, while eating the spicy mutton.

After a while, Yue Tuo said, "It's really spicy and refreshing, where did you get this spice?" ”

Shuo Yan smiled and said, "Liaonan bought it!" ”

Yue Tuo's face turned cold: "You should pay attention in the future, the Great Khan is very unhappy this time, you are committing a taboo!" ”

Shuo Zhen said disapprerovingly: "Do you think he still has a chance?" ”

"What do you mean?"

Yue Tuo listened to Shuo's unkind tone, and his face immediately became gloomy: "Even if our Dajin suffers heavy losses this time and morale is severely defeated, but the foundation is still there after all, as long as we can hide in Shenyang City to take a breath and rest for a while, we are fully capable of fighting another battle with the Ming army, and this battle still has to be fought!" ”

"What are you going to fight?"

Shuo Zhen pointed to the mutton in the pot and said, "Do you know whose sheep this is?" ”

"Not yours?"

"Of course not mine!"

Shuo Zhen smiled: "Wu Keshan's! ”

"How dare you steal his sheep?"

Wu Keshan is Bumu Butai, that is, the elder brother of Da Yu'er and Hai Lanzhu, and the eldest brother of Huang Taiji, although he is not a Jurchen, he has a transcendent status in the Jin Kingdom.

"This is what I picked up!"

"How is that possible?"

"I really don't lie to you!"

Shuo said: "Wu Keshan ran away, ran away with one or two thousand of his men and horses, ran too fast, and didn't even bring sheep, cheap me!" ”

"These Mongolian mongrels are embarrassed to boast of being a steppe genius, and they don't even have the courage to fight with the Ming army! Wait until you return to Shenyang! ”

Yue Tuo said indignantly: "I will definitely go to the Khan King and ask him to send troops to kill those defecting tribes without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

Shuo Zhen smiled bitterly: "If we really do this, I'm afraid we won't be able to find allies again......"

"Forget it!"

Yue Tuo didn't say anything to Shuo Xuan, he needed to get down to business.

……

In the final analysis, war is fought against the economy, and it is fought against strength. While Jiannu was still asleep, the Ming infantry had already begun to get up, and they braved the cold wind to begin to rebuild the cart.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy first removed the wheels, and at the same time removed the seat board on the carriage, directly flipped the seat board, and put it on the frame, forming a sled.

As the four-wheeled carriages turned into sleighs, the cooks also made breakfast, which was a very ordinary breakfast, mainly steamed buns and milk tea. This kind of milk tea is to boil the milk bricks and tea leaves in a pot, and after boiling, you can consider the tea leaves through the strainer.

Since it was wartime, each soldier's kettle was filled with a kettle full of milk tea, that is, two liters, and each soldier divided five or six hot cannons, got on a sleigh, and set off.

Many Ning Navy soldiers thought that after running for most of the day and one night, they would definitely not be able to catch up so slowly, and many soldiers were willing to ride war horses to pursue, even if they couldn't ride horses, they wanted to tie themselves to their horses with ropes.

Cheng Shijie refused without hesitation, is it easy for Lao Tzu to engage in these horses? You have all exhausted the war horses to death, isn't Lao Tzu a big loss?

As the saying goes, when the illness met the slow Langzhong, the officers and men of the Ning Navy were so anxious that they jumped to their feet!

At first, on the first day, there was indeed no success, but on the third day, they encountered a large number of fallen war horses along the way, and the soldiers suddenly realized.

When Jiannu collapsed, he fled for his life, and he didn't care about horsepower at all, and he was very worried that the Ming army would catch up, so they hurried up, and if it was under normal circumstances, it would not be a big problem to do so.

But the problem is that now that it is snowing heavily, the war horses are sweating, and when they are blown by the cold wind, they will not be able to bear it immediately, and many war horses are either abandoned or tired.

With more and more fallen horses, the Ming army finally caught up with a group of routs, these routs were not many, only three or four hundred people, the Han army, Mongolia, Jiannu had, they surrounded the bonfire, but they shivered from the cold, watching the arrival of the Ming army, they hurriedly chased on the ground and surrendered.

Cheng Shijie led the main infantry unit of the Ning Navy, and accidentally picked up some war horses that had not frozen to death in the back, and could also pick up Jiannu or Mongolian soldiers who were dying of freezing.

In just one day, Cheng Shijie collected more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, as well as more than 1,000 Han troops, and captured more than 3,300 people.

However, Cheng Shijie looked at the Mongolian cavalry who were gobbling up the sweet potato porridge and smiling at the Mongolian cavalry who looked at the swords and guns in the hands of Ning Haijun, who were guarding the surrounding area, and watched them fight again and again, Cheng Shijie's brows tightened more and more.

Shen Mingyu smiled bitterly: "These people are really fucking rice buckets!" ”

Cheng Shijie said: "If you are hungry for three days, I'm afraid you will be the same as them!" ”

"That's right!"

Shen Mingyu smiled bitterly and said, "The last general is suspicious ......"

"Suspect what?"

"I suspect this is Huang Taiji's poisonous plan!"

Shen Mingyu said with a serious face: "He deliberately left so many people to eat up our food!" ”

"Haha!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Huang Taiji's 100,000 army, even if one does not die, Ben Shuai can raise it." Screen the captives, put away the war horses that can be used, and make the discarded war horses into jerky, we are tired of eating horse meat, but the people of southern Liaoning have no horse meat to eat! ”

Although it is said that there is no longer a shortage of food in southern Liaoning, it is still difficult to realize the freedom of eating meat in later generations, and on the Internet in later generations, some people complain, saying that life is not satisfactory, and it is not as good as the fifties and sixties.

This must be, what material life in the fifties and sixties? Not to mention the freedom to eat meat, obesity has become a problem that plagues health, and in that era, it was difficult to eat a single meal.

Fortunately, more than 3,000 war horses were collected, although the Mongolian horses were a little short, but Cheng Shijie did not dislike them, and having a horse is better than nothing.

What's more, after this battle, the confidence of the Ning Navy cavalry has also been brought out, at least when they face Jiannu, they no longer have fear.

Seeing that the night was approaching, Cheng Shijie had no choice but to order the troops to set up camp, these captives were very cooperative and well-behaved, and they were no longer as fierce as before, they were even more honest than kittens.

Without the orders of the Ning Navy soldiers, they took the initiative to come over to work, help the Ning Navy set up camp, cut wood, even if no one was watching, let them go into the woods to collect firewood, they would not run away.

Someone asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you run away just when you went to the woods?" ”

"Why run?"

"If you don't run, you're going to labor reform!"

"Is the labor camp in charge of rice?"

"Definitely tube, and it's full!"

"As long as you take care of the food, you can do whatever work you are told to do!"

"What about digging coal?"

"!"

"What about mining!"

"Do it too!"

Cheng Shijie's carriage, of course, was also changed to a sleigh, he raised the stove, and was about to sleep, at this moment, Meng En came over and said: "Commander, there is a Mongolian cavalry killed!" ”

"How many centaurs?"

"About three or four hundred!"

"I guess I'm here to surrender again!"

Cheng Shijie said angrily, "Go, tell them, don't bother to come three or four hundred people at a time, by the way, let them come over with a Jiannu head, and the marshal will pardon their crimes and exempt them from labor reform!" ”

Cheng Shijie's side took more than 3,000 prisoners a day, but Jiannu's side ran more than 5,000 people a day, as for the other more than 1,000 people, they may have run away and gotten lost, or they may have run back to their hometown.

In short, this battle of pursuit, where no decent battles took place, was like an armed march, very easy.

More than 5,000 people fled in one day, and when Huang Taiji received the news, he didn't even have the strength to be angry, and it was too late to escape, who was in the mood to care about the life or death of the Mongols?

But when Huang Taiji learned that so many Mongolian cavalry had surrendered to Cheng Shijie, he only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, rushing straight to Tianlinggai, and his whole body was cold!

Huang Taiji had long expected that this fiasco would trigger a series of chain reactions, and many tribes who were originally intimidated by Dajin's force and had to take refuge in Dajin were likely to centrifuge, but he never dreamed that this chain reaction would come so violently, and there were no 5,000 people in just one day, which is equivalent to losing one-tenth of their soldiers without fighting in a battle, what does this mean?

This means that the hegemony that Dajin has built up with great difficulty with countless victories and countless massacres has been shaken, and they have lost the intangible but most precious property left by Nurhachi for them: "The Jurchens are not ten thousand, and they cannot fight when they are full of ten thousand".

Daikin, in Liaodong, in Korea, in Mongolia, is no longer an invincible and terrifying existence, and those wall grasses began to fall back to the Ming Dynasty!

"King Khan, Guangningwei has arrived!"

Dai Shan said: "King Khan, let's go to the city, after a few days of driving, everyone is tired, go into the city to rest, eat a hot meal, take a bath, can improve a little morale, first stabilize the position, and then find a way to deal with the Ming army that bites behind us!" ”

Huang Taiji didn't object, he has been through a hundred battles, where can't he see that the current state of the Dajin army is very wrong?

There are more and more Mongolian cavalry fleeing, and even the dead soldiers of Sauron have begun to desert, and if they don't go into the city to rest, it is estimated that it will not be long before the 50,000 or 60,000 troops who survived the bloody battle of Baliwan should escape!

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said loudly: "Enter the city, enter the city!" ”

The army of Dajin, who was already physically and mentally exhausted, let out a burst of cheers and rushed into the city. After several days of driving, they are almost tired and falling apart, and it is better to go into the city to rest for a few days, even if they have no house to live in and can only sleep on the street, it is better than rushing day and night like now.

Unfortunately, the wishes are beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Just when their routed troops were about to enter Guangning City, the cavalry of the Ning Navy and the cavalry of the Guanning Army, which had been chasing for three days, also caught up.

"What now?"

Zu Dabi has not yet made up his mind, after all, there are too many of these Jiannu, they are only one-eighth of the other party, plus Guangning City still has the new force of Jiannu, in case Jiannu counterattacks, I am afraid that they will suffer.

Zhao Wencai smiled bitterly: "It's a pity! ”

"General Zhao!"

The Red Lady rode a war horse to Zhao Wencai's side, and Qiao Siniang, who was dressed as a man, looked back at the Red Lady, and her eyes fell on the Red Lady's Adam's apple.

Sure enough, the red lady did not have an Adam's apple.

Of course, Qiao Siniang found that the red lady was the same as her, dressed as a man, and she didn't break it.

"What's the matter?"

"Humbly captured a team of Han artillerymen, with two small cannons, do we want to shoot a few cannons at Guangning City?"

Zhao Wencai's eyes lit up: "Okay, let them shoot!" ”

In Zhao Wencai's thoughts, whether he can achieve the results or not is another matter, anyway, the pursuit can only come to an end.

As the two Franc guns were pushed up, the remaining eight shells were also placed.

"Boom ......"

With the sound of two cannons, the frightened Han artillerymen did not have the ability to shoot artillery, and the shells did not know where to fly.

However, these Jiannu, who were frightened into frightened birds, heard the sound of cannons, and immediately thought of seeing the scene of the Ming army's cannons washing the ground on the battlefield outside Baliwan City.

"It's time to run, the Ming army is catching up!"

It was really a response, with this howl, the city gate that was originally quite orderly was thrown into chaos, thousands of people bombarded the camp, the people in the city ran desperately out, the people outside the city desperately squeezed in, and I don't know how many people were squeezed down and trampled into a ball of meat sauce!
