Win the Ding 1617

Seeing the opponent's troops gradually closing in, Dorgon and Shou Han couldn't help each letting out a long sigh, "Nima, how can these damned Tartars (Southern barbarians) fight so well? They still haven't collapsed with so many casualties? "

Looking at the wounded and corpses being carried down, the hearts of the two coaches couldn't stop bleeding.

"This is the biggest loss day since I led the army!"

"I suffered so many casualties in one battle. How many times can I fight such a battle?"

With their own melancholy, they withdraw their troops and return to camp.

"My lord, why don't our army go after the slaves? Make new achievements for your lord?" A guerrilla who came from the direction of Tai'an volunteered, licking his face.

"Okay! This lord is so enthusiastic about killing thieves and serving the country, I will fulfill you. Come here, get out of the way, and the whole army will line up on both sides. Welcome this guerrilla lord to chase and kill the slave chief Dorgon and others!"

Seeing everyone's contemptuous gazes, the shivering Guerrilla who was hiding behind just now, his face was blue and white, he didn't know what to do.

"My lord, this servant is willing to lead the horse and throw the stirrups for you." A little eunuch with a face covered in soot also came up to him with a smirk on his face, adding insult to injury.

On the other side, Dorgon looked at the dozens of firecrackers of the South China Army seized by the various units of the forward.Although most of these firecrackers were incomplete and covered with blood and flesh, in comparison, he, who was skilled in battle, still found the problem at a glance.

"In addition to having more thorns, these firecrackers lack matchsticks? Don't they need to ignite when they are facing the enemy? The firecrackers don't need the guards of swords, shields and pikemen, and they can also fight hand-to-hand?"

He ordered people to hand over dozens of first-aid kits, called life-saving kits, captured to the army doctor. It is important to control the injury of the fourth son-in-law Turge. If the wound cannot stop the bleeding, all the doctors will come to see him!

These words made Turger, who was lying on a stretcher, burst into tears, "I was ordered by the general, for the slave, you! The slave can't repay even if his body is smashed to pieces!"

Turge always believed that it was because of his own reasons that Dorgon ordered the withdrawal of troops.

After he was pulled out by the doctor who almost killed him, he used the alcohol in the first aid kit to sterilize the penetrating wound, then sprinkled the knife wound medicine to stop bleeding, covered the wound with cotton and gauze Regardless of excessive blood loss and weakness, he insisted on patrolling the camp with Dorgon to comfort the wounded soldiers until Dorgon was sent back by Duo Duo.

In the big tent, two bottles of shochu have been drunk, and several plates of meat have been added, and the three of them are still bargaining.

Shou Han advocated that the captured Du Du and the beheaded Yue Tuo should be exchanged for the captured King De's clan and hundreds of thousands of people in Jinan City.

The Dorgon brothers said that the price was unacceptable to them.

"At most, one can be exchanged for another! Then we brothers will look at your face, second brother, and leave him 1 people for Li Shouhan, and we will take the rest. Let him take the credit for recovering the provincial capital and the clan!"

Although Duduo appeared to be reckless and cynical, he was very clear about all kinds of tricks in the officialdom. He knew how wonderful such achievements would be in the pens of those literati masters.

"Second brother, you just said that you want to sell the two red flags to our brothers. It seems that Du Du and Yue Tuo alone can't turn the two red flags into our brothers?"

Dorgon's thoughts were much deeper than Duoduo's, and his eyes were fixed on Li Peiting's.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! My fourteenth brother is indeed worthy of Mo Ergen Taiji! He is smart!" Li Peiting laughed dryly and applauded.

"Fifteenth brother, please ask the brothers outside the door to work hard and get my protection book from my guard."

Opening the book guard, Li Peiting searched through it, found a few pieces of paper, and handed them to Dorgon with both hands.

"General Li entrusted me to transfer this to my fourteenth brother. This is Du Du's confession that he failed to endure the torture at the Dongchang torture master. In addition to admitting that he is the owner of the Manchurian red flag and Anping Baylor, he also left a bucket finger. In addition to the model, there are some words that are not good for the starling. You two virtuous brothers can imagine, if I give this confession to the starling, what will the starling do to Du Du?"

Taking Huang Taiji as a person, if it is known that Du Du not only lost his soldiers and horses, was captured, but also confessed his identity to the enemy, and died in front of the enemy in order to save his life. If you wantonly slander him as the emperor, then Du Du's head will definitely move.Manchuria, the red flag inlaid with him, had to change its owner.

"General Li asked me to give this thing to the two virtuous brothers for safekeeping." Li Peiting gently put Du Du's confession in an envelope and pushed it in front of Dorgon.

"This is the confession made by Zhenghongqi Manchuria, Mongolia, Xianghongqi Manchuria, Mongolian Jiala, Niu Luzhangjing, Meile Ezhen, etc. to identify Du Du's situation. I will hand it over to the two sages younger brother."

The relevant documents of this chain of evidence are all in the hands of the Dorgon brothers, which is undoubtedly tantamount to planting explosives under Du Du's body, and the fuse is in the hands of the Dorgon brothers.As long as Du Du has a slight disobedience, then, without the two brothers doing anything, as long as these documents and confessions are sent to Huang Taiji, Du Du will be dead!

"Ha! At that time, if I ask Du Du to go east, he won't dare to go west. If he tells him to beat a dog, he won't dare to throw chickens!" After hearing this plan to use threats to bring Manchuria with the red flag into the sphere of influence, Du Duo couldn't help but Jumping up excitedly, he has long been optimistic about several women in Du Du's mansion, but he has never found a chance.

"This is Manchuria with Red Banner. Two virtuous brothers, as for how to bring Zhenghong Banner Manchuria into your pocket, brother Yu has also planned for you."

Hearing this, it was like scratching the surface of the boot, and immediately aroused the curiosity of the two brothers.

Dorgon poured half a bowl of hot wine into Li Peiting's wine bowl, and Duoduo hurriedly cut off a piece of fat for him, dipped it in soy sauce and handed it to Li Peiting.

"Second brother, I would like to hear the details!"

"That's right! That's right! Second brother, don't you always say half of what you say! Why don't you just say it all?!"

"Okay! Let me tell you a story! I am the owner of the Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria."

Li Peiting chewed the piece of fat that had been roasted and sizzled in his mouth, drank the hot wine, and spoke vaguely in his mouth.

"I snatched back the body of the owner of the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner who fought with me on the battlefield. According to the old Manchurian ancestral system, I can share half of the entire family property, population, soldiers and servants of the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner owner. But I have a very good relationship with the banner owner's brother, and I also know that he is at odds with his immortal father. Therefore, when discussing the matter, I proposed to the emperor that I donate the property that I deserve to this man. The younger brother of the banner owner. And nominate him to be the banner owner of the Zhenghong Banner in Manchuria."

"In this way, the emperor has long wanted to divide the strength in the hands of that old man, and just seeing that I proposed such a method, he pushed the boat along the way and gave the position of the owner of the Red Banner of Manchuria to the brother of the deceased, my good friend! "

"In this way, among the Eight Banners, who doesn't say I'm benevolent and righteous? Who doesn't say I'm high-spirited? Who doesn't want to send troops with me? And the new banner owner of the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner is determined to follow me! Otherwise, he won't be able to deal with all the confidants and minions that his immortal old man ambushed!"

"Not bad! Not bad!" Dorgon and Duo Duo were dumbfounded by this appalling plan, but after thinking about it carefully, it was in line with the internal situation of the Eight Banners.Especially the grievances and entanglements between Yuetuo, Shuotuo brothers and Daishan father and son can turn other people's family affairs into a means of expanding their own power. This time, Dorgon has gained a lot of knowledge.

Now that the two sides have reached this point, whether it is Li Peiting or Li Shouhan, they have considered themselves so thoroughly, so they have to reciprocate.

Dorgon expressed generously that he handed over all the captured clans of King De to the South China Army as a condition for exchanging Yue Tuo and Du Du.However, Duoduo raised some objections. It is no problem for others to hand over to Nanzhong Army. A side concubine and daughter of King De and a daughter-in-law of King De cannot be returned to Nanzhong Army. He wants to keep it for himself!

For Duo Duo's objection, Dorgon could only respond with a wry smile.However, Li Peiting was very generous, "As long as all the male members of King De's clan are here, the rest will die in the flames of war!"

In one sentence, all the female family members of King De's family were sentenced to death.

This is probably the characteristic of that era.

The major policies of the two parties have been set, and the rest are some specific details.

Dorgon has to consider how to block this news, and make it reasonable to take back Yue Tuo and Du Du, and hide it from the eyes and ears of Abatai and Turge.

Duoduo, on the other hand, was entangled with Li Peiting about how much the people of Jinan would have to pay in exchange.One second brother at a time.In the mouth, the second brother is long and the second brother is short, but the number is not relaxed at all.If they were killed, at most Li Shouhan would leave [-] men, and he would not set fire to the city when he withdrew from Jinan.

For two days, the armies of both sides confronted each other in this strange calm.

The respective commanders issued a death order, not to attack and provoke.Only strictly guard the camp, those who disobey the order will be beheaded!

As a result, the patrolling side horses and scouting whistles of both sides formed a tacit understanding, saw each other from a distance, patrolled outside the range of the firecrackers, and walked half of the road toward the sky.

Occasionally, the auxiliary soldiers who cut firewood and carried water came across them, and hurriedly finished their work and left quickly.

The two armies confronted each other in this weird atmosphere.

Abate first felt that the atmosphere was not normal. It is normal for him to take a rest for a day or two to treat the wounded and recover his strength.But after two days, he still didn't do anything, and there were rumors of withdrawing troops circulating in the camp, which made him unable to restrain himself.

"General, are our troops going to withdraw to Jinan?"

"That's right! The general has already made a decision to withdraw his troops and return to Jinan. This afternoon, some food, grass and supplies will be withdrawn first!"

"General! Can't withdraw!" Abate hoarse.

"Our army's previous battle has caused heavy damage to the Nanzhong Army. This generation is no longer able to fight anymore, so the gates of the camp are closed. Our army only needs to continue to work hard, and we can defeat the enemy in one battle!"

"Forgive Baylor!"

Dorgon slapped Shuai suddenly.

"This general thinks you are my elder brother, and has been holding back. This time, the first battle was in Changqing, and the second war was in Ping'andian. Our army suffered heavy losses in both wars! General Yangwu became the king of the county, Anping Baylor, and the two white flags. Soldiers died here one after another. This is all because of your ineffectiveness in combat! What should you do?!"

In Abatai's ears, these words were like a series of thunderbolts, which made him dizzy, his eyes went black for a while, and he couldn't help but staggered a few steps.Obviously, Dorgon attempted to pin the blame on him for the ineffectiveness of the battle, which caused the two flag owners of the two red flags in Manchuria to fall into the Ming army.

The most terrible thing is that Abate has nowhere to reason!

That day, he went out together with Yue Tuo, Du Du and others, but the two red flags were wiped out, but he led hundreds of people out of the siege.Even if he had a mouth full of mouths all over his body and defended himself day and night, I am afraid that the people of the two red flags and the emperor Huang Taiji would not believe it.

"Seventh brother, you and I are brothers. We are on the same white flags. I look at you the same way I look at my fifteenth brother. We may not be able to gain anything if we fight against this Southern barbarian here. It may just be a waste of soldiers.”

"A few days ago, I received a secret report that the king of Chengjun had fought a heroic death for his country. Anping Baylor was captured."

These words hit Abate's chest violently like a sledgehammer, he felt a flash of gold stars in front of his eyes, a sweet taste in his throat, and he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.Forced himself to be swallowed back by him.

"It just so happens that our second elder brother of the Li family is in the business, so I asked him to mediate and see if we can redeem King Chengjun and Anping Baylor. As long as these two can come back, Brother Seven, you are not doing well in the battle, and the general has fallen The accusation of the crime was quietly eliminated."

Seeing the sincere and friendly expression on Dorgon's face, Abatai wished he could pull out the knife from his waist and hack this guy to death!

However, under the eaves, how dare you not bow your head?

"Slave, I would like to thank the general who was ordered to be considerate, and thank the general for clearing the crime!"

He forced himself to stand up and kowtow to Dorgon to thank him.

"Seventh brother, you and my brother, why are you so polite? We are under the same flag, we should support each other!"

Without making a sound, Dorgon hit Abate hard.

If you agree with me, I guarantee you will be fine. If you dare to make any changes, I will make your death worse than that of Amin and Mang Gurtai based on these things of yours!

Seeing Abatai's face as if he had eaten a bowl of steaming rice, Dorgon was very happy.

"Brother Seven, you have to work hard to escort these luggage back to Jinan first. Bring King De and others here."

"Why is this?"

"Seventh brother, one of the conditions on the other side is to exchange the Dewang family for the county king and Anping Baylor. After you escort these people back, I will tell you where to go for the transaction."

Abate felt disgusted in his heart, knowing that he must spit out that mouthful of blood.

He hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and vomited into his account.

In the afternoon, Duo Duo and Dorgon made faces as they watched Abatai's gold-woven dragon banners and Turge's gold-woven dragon banners mingled in a long line of vehicles heading eastward against the wind and snow.

"Second brother! It's done! This time, even the thief Abate is honest!"

"Clean up, we should go back to Jinan."

After several days of back and forth and hard bargaining, the prices of the two parties have gradually approached.

In addition to returning the men of King De's family and a complete Jinan city, the Dorgon brothers repeatedly discussed the young population who were banned near Jinan by the two white flags.

According to the conditions offered by Shouhan, these populations must not be taken away by Jiannu, and must be kept as one of the gains of the Nanzhong Army's northward march.

According to the views of the Duduo brothers, at most 1 people in the South China Army are left to embellish their military exploits.

However, Li Peiting, who has been tried and tested in the market, once again threw out a challenge that the Dorgon brothers could not resist.

"Two virtuous brothers, with your food and grass and the seized along the way, you can't bring all of these people back to Liaodong? At least one-third of the population will be lost along the way?"

The ratio of this number was vaguely obtained by Shou Han from the statistics of several times of looting in the past. Compared with the population lost in the interior, the population plundered to Shenyang was less than one-third.That is to say, for every person plundered to Liaodong, at least one died on the spot and one died on the way.Those who were able to struggle to reach Liaodong, in addition to being physically strong, were more obedient citizens whose will to resist was destroyed and who completely succumbed to their own destiny.

"You are in Jinan, there are at least 30 people. Of these people, I think only 20 of them can make it to the Gyeonggi area alive, and only 15 of them can make it to Liaodong. In this way, I will offer something else to share with you brothers. How about replacing these 15 dead people?"

Li Peiting's condition made Duoduo a little moved.

He offered 15 complete sets of Nanzhong armor, swords and guns in exchange for the [-] population in Jinan City.

"15 people? Too much? 5 people!"

Dorgon still had the heart to haggle over the price, to see if he could squeeze some more money out of the grinning dealer in front of him.

"10 people! Buy it now!"

"One hundred thousand is one hundred thousand! But second brother, you have to add something!"

Dorgon asked Li Peiting not only to exchange 10 pieces of Nanzhong Army equipment for [-] people, but also specifically proposed that the knives in the equipment must be made of iron and steel!In addition to these equipment, two thousand life-saving kits were also requested.

On the 12th of the first month of the 27th year of Chongzhen, after learning that Zu Kuanbu, the general aid and suppression army in Dezhou, began to move towards Jinan, and that a large group of unidentified troops quickly moved from Laizhou to Jinan, Dorgon led two The white flag army began to retreat slowly to Jinan.

"Second brother, we gave you all of King De's family. What did you promise us?" In the marching team, Duoduo was afraid of losing his own interests, and repeatedly asked Li Peiting when he would hand over Yuetuo and others.

"Fifth brother, are you afraid that brother and I will lose faith? We are all in your camp, what are you afraid of?"

"Okay! If you have a brother, you can say that! When you arrive in Jinan, you will have children, Yubo, and second brother, you can choose whatever you want! It's our brother's errand money for you!"

"Those are secondary. The key is that the second brother has helped your brothers this time!"

"Naturally! We brothers will definitely keep in mind the friendship of the second brother!"

Duo Duo was bragging and chatting with Li Peiting in the team, but Duo ErGun was thinking about another thing.

After the equipment is in hand, how to distribute it, how to avoid the eyes and ears of mynah?

Another thing, Dorgon has keenly discovered that with the emergence of the Nanzhong Army, the form of war with the Ming Dynasty began to change slowly but irreversibly.

The use of firecrackers and artillery, and the techniques and tactics of the Nanzhong Army are unmatched by other ministries of the Ming Army.

He and his younger brother Duoduo have decided to suggest to Huang Taiji to train firearms troops after returning to Shengjing.If the emperor doesn't want to do it, he will also recruit smart and capable children from the banner to learn how to practice firecrackers with those coated cows, and study the five tigers who fought against the South China Army before. At once, it was used to deal with the three rows of firecrackers of the Nanzhong Army.

"Consider to these servants below, you must treat these coats who play the firecrackers as gentlemen! Just like the emperor treats Fanzhang Jing! Who dares to show the score of the master in front of these firecracker teachers Or those who don’t obey orders will be dealt with according to military law!” (To be continued.)
