Win the Ding 1617

On the 23rd of the first lunar month, the clouds were dense, the north wind was howling, and a blizzard was brewing between the heavens and the earth.On the official road connecting Jinan Prefecture and Changqing County, thousands of white flag soldiers and horses galloped towards them.

Hundreds of Ba Yala soldiers in Nanman armor and guards guarding Dorgon in the crowd like stars holding the moon, their minds were like overwhelming rivers and seas.

Two days ago, Rao Yubeile Abatai led more than [-] people to flee back to Jinan in embarrassment.After rushing into Jinan Mansion, two front teeth were buried because the horse was too tired and the horse stumbled.The rest of the people also collapsed, many people and horses foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground and died of exhaustion, which made the soldiers of Zhengbai Banner Ba Yala who were on duty near the palace gate very flustered.

Seeing Dorgon Abatai in Dewang's palace, he immediately pleaded guilty.

Hearing the arrogant and rebellious challenge of the Southern Barbarian Army, Prince Yu Duoduo immediately became furious, clamoring that he would mount his army horses and go to Changqing immediately to flatten this small city.

"Fifteenth brother, stay safe and don't be impatient, and listen to Rao Yubeile's speech."

Hearing the Seventh Brother in front of him explain all the circumstances of the Battle of Changqing, especially the whereabouts of Yue Tuo and Du Du whose whereabouts were unknown, Dorgon felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavored bottle, and he didn't know what it was like .

To be honest, the loss of the Manchurian soldiers and horses of the two red flags, and even being wiped out by the Ming army, brought him a little joy.This undoubtedly weakened the old man Daishan's strength and made his position in the Qing Dynasty more consolidated and prominent.However, from another angle, it also made the fat black man see himself as a thorn in the side.

If this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid it will be fueled by that black fat man secretly fanning the flames.The rest of the Six Flags will regard the two white flags as enemies.

Moreover, if this generation of Southern barbarian army can't kill their vigor, I'm afraid that it will be more difficult than going to heaven to think about such a large-scale looting in the hinterland of Ming country in the future.

"Fifteenth brother, you lead the brigade in the rear, and I will go forward with Rao Yubeiler. I want to use our two white flag-coated firecrackers to fight the Nanban's firecrackers!"

After defeating Lu Xiangsheng in the Battle of Julu, Dorgon paid attention to collecting the firecrackers seized from the Ming army, especially in the Battle of Jize, where a large number were seized.Former officers and soldiers of the Ming army captured after several battles.He compiled a fire gun with more than [-] guns for himself.There are nearly [-] firearms soldiers.Of course, according to the Eight Banners system, these people belonged to Prince Rui's domestic slaves.

After conquering Baoding, some lower-level officers and veterans of the original Baoding car battalion raised the flag.Become a member of his Zhengbai Banner.Strictly train these people.Organize training every three days.Each soldier shoots ten shots each time, and if he hits the target with more than one shot at a distance of 41 bows from the target, Dorgon will reward five coins for each shot.Those who hit eight shots will be rewarded with three taels of silver.Under the lure of heavy rewards, these people were loyal. They poured out what they had learned, and offered their own ideas and suggestions for the development, technology and tactics of the firecrackers.

Following closely behind Dorgon with his gold-woven dragon banner was this army of firecrackers composed of coated slaves under Prince Yourui's banner.

These people all captured the Ming army's double-breasted cotton armor, with firecrackers on their shoulders, and gunpowder tubes, lead bags, matchlocks and other things on their waists and chests.In order to avoid being accidentally injured by their own people and to distinguish the Ming army wearing the same armor, these people all wrapped a four-inch wide white cloth around their shoulders.The team of more than 50 people was divided into three major groups, each of which was distinguished by a flag.Every thousand people form a team, divided into [-] small teams, with [-] people in each team.Among them, the gunfire soldiers accounted for [-]%, and there were [-] rattan soldiers and [-] pike soldiers.

Under the guidance of a Jiala military flag, the rattan player holding a dark red rattan card closely followed Jiala Zhangjing under the military flag, and behind Jiala Zhangjing, two hundred spearmen closely guarded Six hundred gunfire soldiers.All the way to Changqing in a mighty way.

Behind the three thousand guns and coats, there is a team of twenty cows with two white flags. After fate, he had to flee to Dorgon to plead guilty.Dorgon did not hold them accountable for losing their leader and fleeing without authorization in accordance with the Eight Banners Military Law, but just asked them to follow the army to Changqing for revenge.However, it was those two white flag flags and white armor soldiers who were more aggressive and murderous.

This huge queue composed of Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, and Baoyi opened a mighty marching route tens of miles long on the road from Jinan to Changqing.

"Slave Chief Mergen Taiji Dorgon led an army of tens of thousands to take revenge?!"

When the news reached Changqing, the county government was celebrating such great victories as killing Yue Tuo, capturing Du Du, and beheading two red flags and two white flags.

Shou Han generously distributed nearly a thousand military heads to Changqing locals, thanking local officials and elders for their assistance.At the same time, those officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp and Jin Yiwei also received an average of two military heads per person.As for the armor commanders and soldiers who put Yue Tuo to death on the three battle formations, they shared the reward of one hundred thousand silver dollars.

This news made the originally very lively atmosphere in the county government stand still!The joyful atmosphere that was originally like the grass growing in spring and the warblers flying in March immediately became as dark and gloomy as the weather outside. Wu Guerzilla, who was bragging about his military exploits just now, felt an urgency to urinate and almost peed out.

"How many have you come?"

"Two white flags come out in full force! Dorgon is in front, and Duoduo is behind! There are more than a hundred Niulu flags, and there are three or four thousand soldiers and horses holding firecrackers!"

Wu Guerzhan only felt a heat in his crotch, and a stream of liquid came out vigorously.

You adults can't help feeling a chill down your spine.

The main force of the two white flags is out?That is to say, all the main slave builders who entered the customs and looted this time rushed forward?There are as many as [-] to [-]? !It took us a long time to deal with thousands of Tartars with two red flags and more than [-] newly attached troops!And after a series of hard battles, do the soldiers still have the courage and physical strength to fight again?

From the two princes to the magistrate of Changqing County and several leading figures in the county, all of them turned their attention to the Shouhan father and son sitting in the middle.Hope to get some confidence and movement from him.

"Fifty thousand?! A lot!"

Shou Han played with the wine glass in his hand, his voice was not loud.But it made everyone present hear clearly.

"Wang Bao, how much ammunition do we have on each of our brothers?"

"My lord! Each brother of the firecracker soldier still has about twenty rounds on his body, and there are still many shells! A large amount of ammunition is stored in the supply camp, and there are about one million rounds of sub-munitions."

"Oh! I thought the ammunition was low! How many firecrackers can pick up their guns and fight?"

"The whole army has about [-] combatable soldiers."

"That's a lot! Six shots per person is enough!"

"Daddy! I can drive ten times!"

Li Huabao jumped up, puffed out his small chest, his face was full of excitement.

Seeing the performance of the father and son, all the officials present shook their heads secretly, "Those Jian slaves are not made of paper, they just stand there and let you hit them with firecrackers?" Someone whispered in their hearts.

Dressed as a wealthy businessman, Li Peiting, who was very mysterious in everyone's eyes, also stood up with a smile on his glass, "My lords, don't panic. Please fill up this glass first. Let me share with you, Victory for our army, defeat for slave riders!"

Everyone drank the bitter wine in the cup helplessly, and stared at the celebrity in front of General Li with complicated eyes.Let's see what he has to say.

"Our army's first victory. Victory lies in the spirit. Our army has won a new victory. We have won many, even Yue Tuo, the deputy of Dorgon, the big boss who entered the customs and robbed the slaves, was beheaded by our army, and his brothers with the same banner. Being captured by our army, the morale of the army is greatly boosted. The defeat of the slaves is also lost here! After the defeat, the people are panicked, the morale is low, and the wounded soldiers are full of people who are unwilling to fight, dare not fight!"

"Our army's second victory lies in harmony! Tens of thousands of people in Changqing and more than ten thousand athletes in the South China Army have long been bound together by flesh and blood. They are the heroes of the Beijing camp who guarded the two angels, and the emperor's own army. Thieves and warriors. Our army’s victory in this battle lies in harmony! On the other hand, in Jiannu, internally, strength is the most important thing, and the strong are respected. The slave chief Huang Taiji has been against him for many years, except for the two yellow flags he personally led and his son’s inlaid blue flag. There is a lot of suppression. Dorgon came to revenge this time, mostly to deal with errands and block the mouths of the rest of the banners. So as not to fall into gossip and give the slave chief Hong Tai a handle!"

"Even though the whole army came here aggressively, I'm afraid that Dorgon may not necessarily consume his soldiers and horses in vain for the sake of the two red flags being wiped out! You must know that within the Eight Banners, the strength of soldiers, horses and population is the most respected." In this battle, if there is even a slight loss, he will withdraw all the troops on the grounds of excessive casualties!"

"Our army won the third victory, and the victory lies in..."

Although Li Peiting's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, everyone was still skeptical.

"Everyone, let's have a feast today, and watch our Southern Central Army defeat the bandits tomorrow! Make new contributions to our Ming Dynasty!"

The Ping'an store, which is more than ten miles away from Changqing County, is still called Dongjiazhuang at this time.

Zhuma was at the head of the stone bridge at the head of Zhangdian village, watching the brigade rushing towards Changqing through the stone bridge, Dorgon could not see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his face, but looked up at the sky from time to time, the clouds in the sky were getting more and more Low, the wind blowing from the north and the Yellow Sea is colliding and merging violently high in the clouds, and a heavy snow is rapidly brewing.

A fierce brainstorming was also going on in Dorgon's mind.In his memory, no matter whether his father Khan went to battle, Huang Taiji went to battle, or he led an army to fight by himself, all the Ming troops he met were defeated in the face of the attack of his cavalry.But why has this weird South Central Army been able to repeatedly defeat the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia since the ninth year of Chongzhen?

Getting defeated once is common, being defeated more than twice by the same army seems problematic!If this matter cannot be resolved, Li Shouhan and the Southern Central Army under him will sooner or later be a serious problem for the Qing soldiers!

A confidant Niu Luzhang Jing Kuaima galloped from the direction of the forward.

"Report! Master! The leader of the South Central Army, Li Shouhan, sent someone here! Please show me, master, see you or not?"

The envoy didn't bring any weapons, but was just driving a few large carts. Two slaves behind him were holding two wooden boxes, and they didn't know what was inside.

"My lord went back to hunt in Qilu a few days ago and got a lot of rewards. While drinking to celebrate his victory, he was very happy to hear that the general led the army and horses. I was specially ordered to give a gift to come to work in the army. The gift is only five mouthfuls of boiled whole pigs. Fifty boxes of canned meat produced in Nanzhong, and forty jars of spirits. They are for the general to reward his subordinates."

"Your master knew I was coming, but sent you to send wine and meat to our army?"

Dorgon was amazed when he saw the envoy's neither humble nor overbearing, polite manners.

"Yes! My lord knows the purpose of the general's visit. It's the same as Yue Tuo and Du Du a few days ago. It's just a battle! However, Yue Tuo and Du Du are very weak in fighting. My lord deeply regrets it." However, the soldiers of the three armies could not enjoy themselves to their fullest, so I ordered my subordinates to send wine and meat to the general, thinking that fighting would add to the fun."

This is very polite to say, but with a gun and a stick.

We know what you are here for!But it is to fight!Same as Yue Tuo, Du Du and others a few days ago, nothing unusual.However, those two guys couldn't help but fight, my lord and the whole army didn't think it was enough, so I specially sent you two white flags some delicious food, I hope you won't be so useless!

A Tongshi standing in the tent translated the envoy's words to the generals in a low voice.these words.Everyone couldn't help being furious, and all of them drew out their sabers in unison.

A few more violent people put their knives on the messenger's neck, and only waited for Dorgon's order, and then cut the daring guy to pieces.

"Knife. Not bad. It is made of high-quality steel produced in Nanzhong. I don't know how it fell into your hands?"

That messenger can be regarded as a hero.Several sabers were hung around his neck, and he still thought about appraising the quality of the steel knives.

"This kind of sword is the most in our army. There will be countless sabers in the battle in the future."

"Bastard slave! Who wants you to treat the messenger like this?!"

Although Doduo was violent and surly, he respected his second brother very much. Seeing his gentle face, he shouted the officers back.

Seeing Duo Duo coming out to stop the officer, the messenger stopped speaking sarcasm, but ordered his men to hand over the two wooden boxes to Duo Duo and Dorgon brothers.

"Um?!"

The things in the wooden box caused the two brothers to change their colors involuntarily.Immediately close the wooden box lid tightly.

Inside the wooden box are the helmets of Du Du and Yue Tuo.Although the top is full of gunpowder smoke, but as the helmet of the county king and Baylor, the identity of the owner can still be seen.

"Where is the owner of this thing right now?" He tried his best to control his tone of voice so that the people around him would not hear anything strange.

"So that the general can know that the owner of this thing is currently in our army!"

Got it!The two red flags are completely finished!Both flag owners fell into the hands of the South China Army.

Dorgon didn't want to ask any more questions, and ordered someone to write a letter of reply for the envoy to bring back.In the letter, he expressed his gratitude to Shou Han for the gift of wine and meat, "The general has worked hard from afar, and there is no joy in the army. Tomorrow, I will order the soldiers to fight in front of the Ping'an store to help the wine!"

"Second brother, what is the purpose of Li's actions? Could it be poisoning wine and meat?"

"Stupid! Doesn't he know that even if we eat his wine and meat, we need someone to inspect it? He is demonstrating to us, showing off his strength and martial arts. Trying to provoke us to fight immediately, I will not be fooled by this! "

"Second brother, is this the same trick as in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi a woman's clothes?"

"Not bad! Exactly!"

Immediately, the two brothers ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and set up a temporary camp near Ping'andian, rested for one night, and went to battle in the next day.

"All the wine and meat in the general's ranks will be distributed! Officers above Niulu will each get another canned meat and a catty of soju!"

In Dorgon's big tent, the generals of the two white flags surrounded a fat pig, each cut the meat with a knife, and ate the meat with a sip of wine, and ate quite comfortably.

"Just for this fat pig, we will send troops tomorrow, and let's give those Nanban a good look!" Several Jia Lazhangjing wiped their bodies casually with oily hands, and wiped off the newly made battle robes. It was greasy.

"Rao Yubaile, you have fought against the Nanzhong Army, so you can tell us about it. How does this Nanzhong Army fight? Can it make my Qing soldiers repeatedly defeated?"

Embarrassed for a while, Abatai had to put down the silver knife in his hand and hastily said respectfully: "I was ordered by the general. The strength of the Nanzhong Army is no less than that of our Eight Banners. It is even slightly better. The guns and cannons under it are powerful. Said. The discipline of the army is strict, the military discipline is strict, and the troops are neat. I have never seen it in my life. When the slaves of Zhenghongqi attacked the army formation, they had reached the point where their bows and arrows could be shot into their ranks. Not firing yet. With an order, the formation was changed immediately, and the artillery hidden in the formation was released. After that, the artillery bombarded round after round, and the artillery was followed by firecrackers. The White Armored Soldiers were seriously damaged in this combination of guns and guns."

Restricted by the concept of technology at this time, even if Abate was killed at this time, he would not be able to say the word "coordination of infantry and guns".I just instinctively felt that the artillery used by the Nanzhong Army was so vicious that I had never seen it before.

Hearing Dorgon nodded slightly, "Apart from the vicious cannon fire, is the sharp firecracker?"

"Exactly! Its army formation is only three thin layers of firecrackers, and there are dozens of cannons mixed in the formation. Before my heavy cavalry charged a hundred steps, its artillery projectiles fired a volley, and their bullets rained all over the area. The heavy armor The warriors were seriously damaged immediately, and the men and horses fell continuously. After the artillery, the bursts of firecrackers fired one after another, hindering the impact of my heavy cavalry. The training of this department is extremely well-trained, and they reload the bullets quickly, wave after wave of bullets Unceasingly, I lost nearly a thousand heavy armored warriors like this!"

"Although its artillery is sharp and vicious, and its firecracker salvo is powerful, it is not surprising. In the Ming army that I have seen in the Qing Dynasty, there are quite a few excellent artillery and firecrackers. However, its troops are not only relying on artillery and firecrackers , fighting is also extremely brave. Every time after the firecrackers have caused heavy damage to our army, the whole army will use the firecrackers to attack like a forest." (To be continued..)
