Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 381 Golden Descendants
After Zheng Jiwu shot and killed Zhumala, his servant jumped off his horse, cut off Zhumala's head and took it away, then got on his horse and followed Zheng Jiwu to continue to Zhumala's military tent.

There stands the flag of Jumala.

beheaded,

capture the flag.

Wherever this team of elite cavalry passed, no one could stop them. The Tartars, who had always been said to be elite and capable of fighting, could not stop their thunderous blow today.

the flag was cut down,
A servant captures the flag.

"Here is the head of Zhuma La!"

Countless servants shouted in unison.

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

Zheng Jiwu didn't stop, and led this group of armored cavalry to rampage through the camp. One of his servants was holding Zhumala's head high, and the other was holding high Zhumala's general flag.

Zheng Jiwu brought [-] Zhejiang cavalry. This cavalry is very mixed. There are not only full-body cotton armor with bows and arrows, but also elite heavy cavalry with muskets and sabers. Even the horses have vests.

There are also iron cavalry battalions wearing cotton armor with bows and arrows and spears, as well as unarmored light cavalry, as well as armored infantry and unarmored infantry riding horses and mules. They are collectively called Zhejiang cavalry.

If such a mixed force of 3000 troops fought head-on with Zhumala's [-] Banners, it would definitely not be able to fight.

Among the 2000 people in Zhumala, not all of them were cavalry. There were about [-] armored heavy cavalry, [-] light cavalry, and [-] armored cavalry infantry.

Five hundred vests are full cavalry, five hundred light cavalry are Mongolian soldiers, and one thousand cavalry infantry are mostly full soldiers.

Regardless of vest or infantry, or heavy cavalry and light cavalry, these people are actually well equipped, with a [-]% armor rate. Everyone has armor, mainly cotton armor and cloth face armor. It has many musketeers, shields, etc.

This is an elite team that has experienced many battles. From Hangzhou to here, even if they were attacked and harassed for half a month, they still traveled hundreds of miles all the way through the Ming army's occupied area, and they were never seriously injured.

It's a pity that they still didn't make it through after all, after all, they didn't expect the super brave Gong Zheng Jiwu to be a member of the Ming army.

There are shouts of killing everywhere.

At this time, the Qing army, regardless of their vests and infantry, could only dismount and fight on foot. The only thing that was good was that the two thousand Qing troops basically did not eat food with extra ingredients, and did not experience a sudden burst like Zhu Mala and their officers. Happening.

But because Zheng Jiwu and the others were friendly troops last night, they rushed in early in the morning. The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to prepare. Most of the Qing army didn't even have time to put on their armor.

Especially when Zheng Jiwu first came in, he entered the center of the camp all the way, killed Zhu Mala and chopped off the general flag, which further damaged morale.

Because it was only a temporary camp, there was no barracks at all. Last night, Zheng Jun set up tents outside, and the full soldiers set up tents inside. Zheng Jun set up tents around the full soldiers, saying that he was guarding the full camp. In fact, he had no good intentions. There is really no chance of resistance.

One by one, the Qing troops were knocked into the air, cut down, and trampled.

The Tartar soldiers were desperate and furious.

They have never encountered this kind of thing before, and suffered such a loss, but the fury is just an incompetent vent, let alone change the facts, especially when the Jin Wu cavalry kills, the overall situation is settled.

The cuirassiers and musketeers rushed into the battalion, firing indiscriminately, while the heavy dragoons rushed directly into the battalion before dismounting and marching forward alternately with muskets in three bursts.

It was almost a massacre.

The massacre of [-] Tartars by [-] Ming troops.

no mercy.

Muskets, sabers, and lances are ruthlessly harvesting.

Even if the fierce Tartars resisted desperately, it was useless. They were scattered, cut, and surrounded, and they could not resist effectively, let alone break through.

The fighting continued until noon.

The two thousand Qing troops were completely defeated, and there were corpses everywhere. Blood flowed all over the ground, and corpses were everywhere.

The bright red blood melted the snow, and it was muddy and dirty everywhere.

The Ming army began to sweep the battlefield.

Hussars searched for fish that slipped through the perimeter.

Of the two thousand Qing troops, about eight hundred survived in the end.

One thousand and two were killed, and five stopped and three stopped.

Of the remaining [-] Qing troops, the Mongols made up the majority. Most of these people were injured and had completely lost the courage to resist.

Especially the Mongols among them, many of them fought to the back, seeing that the general situation was over, and the Ming army was trying to persuade them to surrender, so they simply threw down their weapons and surrendered.

The Mongols were once the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Taizu Chengzu expedition to Mobei, chasing death and chasing the north, but the Mongols also captured the Ming Emperor alive and wiped out dozens of Ming troops in the Mutubao Incident. Ten thousand main forces, even killed the city of Beijing.

It is a pity that by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols continued to fight among themselves. After Lin Danhan was defeated and died of smallpox in Qinghai, Mongolia completely lost its backbone and became a vassal of the Qing army.

Of course, even at this time, in fact, there were still many Mongolian soldiers in the Ming army.

Therefore, the Mongols actually have no psychological barriers to surrender. They join if they can't beat them, and they respect whoever is strong, and they don't feel ashamed.

They always have been.

A Mongolian assistant leader even claimed to Zheng Jiwu and Zhang Mingbin that he was Lin Dan Khan's cousin, and that he was the grandson of the No. 30 fourth Khan of Mongolia.

Zheng Jiwu took a look at this Mongolian collar with small eyes and a big pancake face. He is very strong, and he does not have a money mouse tail, but a shaved middle on the top of his head, and braids on both sides, still retaining the traditional Mongolian hair Mode.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the man still swore that his name was Borjijin Zheao, a descendant of the orthodox Mongolian golden family. After Khan died, he moved back to Hetao with his son. Twelve years ago, Dorgon and others made their third expedition to Chahar and surrounded them, and they were forced to surrender.

Zheng Jiwu didn't believe that this descendant of the golden family had been working with the Tartars for ten years.But he said that because he offended Dorgon, he was demoted many times, which made him take the position of assistant leader now.

He also said that he also hated Jianlu very much, and was willing to join Daming and conquer the Jurchens for His Majesty the Emperor of Ming.

Zhang Mingbin said disdainfully, "Lin Danhan is not a good bird either. He invaded Daming and plundered our Han family's people for many robberies. He is also a Tartar!"

Zhe Ao was a little embarrassed. Lin Dan Khan, as the last Mongolian Khan and a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, had always wanted to reunify the Mongolian tribes. Independently, he can only control the Chahar tribe in Hetao, and is only regarded as the nominal co-lord by the tribes in Monan.

Wai Khalkha in Mobei does not even recognize the Mongolian Khan as the co-lord, and Moxi Oirat is still an enemy of the Mongolian Empire.

After Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne, his strength and prestige continued to rise. With repeated invasions of Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi of the Later Jin Dynasty kept poaching Mongolian corners and married Horqin and Neikalkha tribes. This angered Lin Dan Khan and the two sides turned against each other.

The Ming Dynasty took advantage of Jin’s alliance with Western captives and Mongols to control the Eastern captives and the Hou Jin, and the barbarians to control the barbarians. Lin Dan Khan was greedy for rewarding silver, and he was dissatisfied with the Hou Jin, so Ming and Mongolia formed an alliance and Mongolia and Jin fought. Soon after, Jin instigated against Mongolia's Horqin and other ministries against Lin Danhan.

Lin Dan Khan had to turn around to deal with the civil strife. Although Lin Dan Khan suppressed the right-wing ministries like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, this actually led to the complete fall of the ministries to Hou Jin, and the north attracted Huang Taiji's conquest.

Lin Danhan was troubled by internal and external troubles, but he still wanted to die and invaded Ming Dynasty again. The reason was that after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he stopped rewarding the Mongolian city.

The hostility against Ming Dynasty and the constant dissatisfaction of the Mongolian tribes gave Hou Jin an opportunity to attack Lin Danhan again, and finally defeated him, forcing him to leave Qinghai, and finally died of smallpox in a foreign land when he was in his thirties. .

In Zhang Mingbin's eyes, Lin Danhan was regarded as an aspiring monarch, but he had great aspirations and few talents, so he lost his country after tossing around.

Especially since he was in exile in Qinghai, and he robbed Mingbian five times within a year, no one could save him from this kind of death.

Since Zhe Ao is a descendant of Genghis Khan who fought with Lin Danhan all the way, and he is also Lin Danhan's cousin, he must have participated in the plundering and harassment of the Ming Dynasty. , and said that his wife was robbed by Duoduo.

"I only heard that Duoduo robbed the wife of the big traitor Fan Wencheng, but I didn't expect the Mongols' wives to be robbed too?"

"Those Tartars are the most shameless. They like to rob people's wives and daughters the most. Huang Taiji forced Lin Danhan's wives and concubines into the palace before. Many of the wives of our Mongolian nobles were snatched away by Manchurian Tartar princes."

Zhe Ao himself is a Tartar, but he still wants to call him a Manchurian Tartar, which makes Zhang Mingbin and Zheng Jiwu quite satisfied.

"You speak Chinese well!"

"I used to have a Han teacher who taught me to read Chinese books for several years, and I went to Beijing to pay tribute several times before." Zhe Ao said with some pride.

"Let's just believe that you are Lin Danhan's cousin, but you are just a new leader now."

Zhe Ao hurriedly said, "Although I am only a leader, the Mongols here listen to me. I am willing to lead them to fight for His Majesty the Ming Emperor and swear allegiance to the death!"

"Oh, is that so?" Zhang Mingbin smiled, pointing to the Manchurian soldiers among the captives, "Although these Jian captives were captured, most of them still refused to surrender, so you took the Mongolian soldiers to cut them all down and asked Every Mongol gets a shot, okay?"

Zhe Ao immediately patted his chest and said, "Our warriors in Chahar, Mongolia, have long had a deep hatred with these Manchurian Tartars, and have long wanted to cut them down."

"Then go."

Eight hundred prisoners, surrounded by the Ming army, began to kill each other.

In fact, it was the Mongols who slaughtered the Manchurian soldiers. There were nearly 100 Mongolian soldiers, each of whom got a knife, and the [-] Manchurian soldiers, except for dozens of timid and willing to surrender, there were more than [-] remaining, who were wounded but had to use their bare hands. Facing six hundred Mongolian soldiers.

One command.

Zhe Ao slapped his chest and roared loudly, as if venting his anger and dissatisfaction in the center, and then shouted loudly at a group of Mongolians in Mongolian.

Some Ming soldiers who knew Mongolian translated it to Zhang Mingbin and Zheng Jiwu, and the general meaning was to avenge the Tartars, pay blood for blood, and show loyalty to Daming.

The Manchurian Tartars scolded the Mongols in horror and anger.

After the two sides exchanged blows, Zhe Ao took the lead and rushed over with a knife. This guy looked like he was in his early forties, and he was really fierce. Even if he only carried a knife, he still had an unstoppable momentum. Cut left and right with a knife, killing several people in a row.

The Mongols are like chopping melons and vegetables, with a knife in their hands, chasing the Tartars and hacking.

In no time.

Bloody.

More than 100 Manchu soldiers were hacked to death by [-] Mongolian soldiers, and the Mongols stood covered in blood among the corpses of soldiers.

"Enough!"

Zheng Jiwu sighed, and Zhang Mingbin said, "These people are quite kind. Can Admiral Zheng give me these Mongols to supplement my Jinwu Cavalry Army?"

Zheng Jiwu nodded. Although he also wanted these Mongols, Jinwu Town was the imperial camp after all, and it was the emperor's guard of the imperial camp.

"Clean up and go back to Jiangning."
