Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

With 10,000 more captives and 56 warships, the Great Khan Lianhua was very happy and ordered the establishment of the Tianjin Naval Camp. Seter, the second son of the Ningguta Wanhu Chang Tarhun, a veteran of the Guards and a lieutenant general of the Jinzhou Naval Camp, was appointed as the deputy general of the Tianjin Naval Camp, with 56 warships of various sizes and 3,000 soldiers in charge. Yuan Dehui, a surrendered general who was proficient in naval warfare and a guerrilla of the Qing Dengzhou Naval Camp, was promoted to the lieutenant general of the Tianjin Naval Camp to assist Seter in training the Tianjin Naval Camp. Because Tianjin was still in the hands of the Qing army, Seter and Yuan Dehui were ordered to lead the navy to temporarily stay in Tongzhou; Ayuqi, the former guerrilla of the Haizhou Naval Camp, was appointed as the lieutenant general of the Jinzhou Naval Camp to command the Liaodong Naval Camp; in order to appease the surrendered generals, Zhou Youde was appointed as the governor of Shandong and Tang Shiliang was promoted as a guerrilla.

The Great Khan, who always liked to use the surrendered troops as cannon fodder, naturally would not let these surrendered troops go. He ordered Zhou Youde and Tang Shiliang to lead 7,000 surrendered troops and 11,000 surrendered troops of Xuan Youcai, the general of Jizhou, and Zhang Wei, the general of Tongzhou, who surrendered earlier, to serve as the main force of the siege, and attacked Beijing day and night. At this time, the Qing army in the inner city, including the garrison and the civilians, still had 110,000. Although there were not many elite soldiers, so many people relied on the city to defend, and the walls of the capital were strong. It was not easy to break the city immediately! The experienced Great Khan was not in a hurry. While urging the surrendered troops to attack the city, he ordered people to plant fences and dig deep trenches to isolate Beijing from the outside world. In the words of this god of war, "I swear to trap Shunzhi to death, and never let a grain of rice enter Dadu!"

However, as soon as one wave of reinforcements subsided, another wave of reinforcements came to the Qing Dynasty. Guarjia Cheke, the Minister of State Affairs, the Grand Secretary of the Secretariat, the Grand Tutor and Junior Tutor of the Crown Prince, and the Minister of Revenue, led the Crown Prince's Guardian, the Left Route General of Jiangnan Yang Jie, the Left Commander-in-Chief of Guangdong Raoping Wu Liuqi, the Right Route General of Guangdong Navy Du Hui, the Gaolei General of Guangdong Gao Jinku, the Left Route General of Fujian Navy Chang Jingong, the Zuojiang Town General of Guangxi Quan Jie, the Deputy General of Hangzhou Chen Shikai, the Deputy General of the Governor Niu Wancai, the Deputy General of Huguang Changde Yang Shouqi, the Deputy General of Jiangxi Nangan Wang Yixiang, and the Deputy General of Jingnan Fan Xu Wenhuan, and other 70,000 green camp troops have arrived in Tianjin and are heading towards Tongzhou along the canal.

Guarjia Cheke was a Manchurian veteran who entered the country from the beginning. He participated in the formulation of a series of policies such as enclosure, renaming of fields, and encouragement of land reclamation. He was originally ordered by Emperor Shunzhi to enter Fujian to defend Zheng Chenggong. After receiving the order to transfer troops to defend the capital, he discussed with Jingnan King Geng Jimao and Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Li Ruotai, and led the reinforcements of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces to Tianjin by sea, and joined the troops of Huguang, Jiangxi, Jiangnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces in Tianjin. These troops were all ordered to defend the capital. After hearing the news that the guards were powerful and the green camps in Zhili and Shandong provinces were annihilated, they dared not enter again and gathered in Tianjin. Because Cheke was ordered by the emperor to enter Fujian, he was considered an imperial envoy and a real Manchurian general, and all the generals supported him as the commander. He did not refuse and organized the green camps of various provinces to go north along the canal. So many troops together, there were 70,000 people, with flags covering the sun, and the momentum was very amazing.

"Seventy thousand men! I thought that after defeating the Green Camp in Zhili and Shandong, Shunzhi would have no more troops to mobilize except Datong and Shanhaiguan. I didn't expect that a centipede would not die and another seventy thousand men would appear! How annoying!" After receiving the news from the Wuyi Guard, the Great Khan Lianhua pulled his beard in anger. Seeing that most of the generals were leaving, he didn't expect another wave of trouble. The enemy had many reinforcements. If he didn't go to meet them in person, it would be difficult to repel them; but if he left Beijing, it would give the Qing army in the city a chance to catch their breath.

"I think the Khan does not need to go in person. He can send a general to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to intercept them!" suggested Nasutu, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace who accompanied the expedition.

"Hmm," Sultan hummed softly, thinking about the candidates in his mind.

"The Qing army's food and supplies are mostly transported by the canal. The Tianjin Navy Camp has just been established and has not achieved any success. I am willing to lead the navy down the canal to rob and burn the enemy's food and supplies," the newly appointed deputy commander of the Tianjin Navy Camp, Seter, loudly requested to fight. This young general was only in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes, and was very energetic.

"Good! You are worthy of being my David Warrior, you dare to take the lead in the battle!" Su Jintan praised loudly, but he was murmured in his heart. According to the intelligence of Wuyiwei, the Qing army coming to help includes the navy of Fujian and Guangdong provinces. They often fight with Zheng Chenggong's army, and their combat effectiveness is very strong. They have more than 100 warships of various sizes, and more than 200 merchant ships and grain ships of various types. Their strength far exceeds that of the newly formed Tianjin Navy Camp. Moreover, the main force of the Tianjin Navy Camp is composed of surrendered soldiers from the four naval camps of Dengzhou, Rongcheng, Jiaozhou, and Jinzhou of the Qing Dynasty. How loyal they are is still a big question mark. It may not be easy to win by relying on the navy. However, Setel took the initiative to ask for battle, which is commendable. His morale can be boosted but not discouraged. Even if he fails to win, the losses will only be some surrendered soldiers. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I agree. The waterway from Tianjin to Dadu is a big trouble. While the main force of the Green Camp in Tianjin has been transferred to Datong, it is just right to send A Yuqi to lead the Liaodong Navy to attack Tianjin Dagu Port. However, the enemy's reinforcements are very large, and the navy alone is far from enough. We must send a brave and combat-skilled general to lead the cavalry and infantry to intercept them. I wonder who is willing to go?" After speaking, he looked at the generals with a bright look.

"I am willing to go!" As soon as the Great Khan finished speaking, a young general loudly requested for the order. It was none other than the Great Khan's fifth son, Prince Zhao Biligenda. Although this prince was only about 20 years old, he had fought many battles on the battlefield and was highly skilled in martial arts.

Looking at his son's heroic face, the old father felt a sense of pride and asked with a smile, "How many men do you want to take with you, son?"

"Please ask my father to allocate 20,000 soldiers to me. I will kill all the enemies!" The young man was very confident.

What! Only 20,000! The Qing army coming to help this time has 70,000 people, how can 20,000 people be enough? Hearing this, everyone changed color. Even the Great Khan Lianhua felt that it was a little too little, and asked calmly: "Is 20,000 people enough?"

"I think it's enough," Biligenda analyzed confidently, "Quality of soldiers is more important than quantity. The enemy's elite troops are mostly in Datong and Shanhaiguan. These 70,000 troops are just a mob. How can they withstand the attack of 20,000 David's cavalry?"

"Don't be careless. Most of the elite troops of the Northern Green Camp have indeed been transferred to Datong, but the Southern Green Camp still has some elite soldiers. Among the enemies coming this time are quite a few elite troops of the Southern Green Camp. They should not be underestimated," Sultan reminded him in a deep voice, fearing that he would underestimate the enemy.

The old father had good intentions, but the young calf had its own spirit. The young Prince Zhao was aroused and shouted, "I am willing to issue a military order and lead only 20,000 cavalry to intercept the enemy. If I cannot defeat the enemy, I will be punished by military law!"

What! A military order? Sultan was shocked and angry after hearing this. Little Wuzi was too ignorant of what he said. If he failed to complete the military order, could I really kill my son? Looking at his son's resolute eyes, the old father's heart gradually softened. This kid is just like me in the past!

"In this case, my son, you can go to each tribe and select 20,000 warriors. Military law is ruthless, so be careful!" The old father's voice echoed in the big tent. (End of this chapter)
