On the Ude steppe, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Sunit Department and the Khalkha Department drank together to celebrate the victory, but only Dai Xiuyuan did not participate in it. Although the outcome of this war was what he expected, the victory had nothing to do with him.

He found a secluded spot overlooking the vast grasslands, wondering how he could get Dorgon to throw more men into the desert. He had received the news that Hong Chengchou had summoned a large army in Nanzhili, and if there was one more Qing soldier outside the Saiwai, there would be one less on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang side.

"Why is the military advisor hiding here? Come on, come on, drink! Teng Jisi laughed and greeted him when he was far away, and motioned to the guards next to him to bring Dai Xiuyuan a bowl of wine, "I discussed with the three Khalkha generals, the army will go to Chahar tomorrow, and you are not allowed to get drunk today, haha!" ”

Dai Xiuyuan took a sip of the wine bowl, shook his head and said, "Great Khan, we can't go to Chahar, and we have to be in Wude for a while." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Teng Jisi was surprised, "If Shuo Sai knew that Duoduo was defeated, he would definitely come to Mobei to fight." The terrain near the mossy wood of Chahar is narrow, which is the best place to ambush the Manchurians! ”

"In my opinion, Shuo Sai will probably not come to Mobei." Dai Xiu said from afar, "Previously, Duoduo closely pursued the main force of Sunit because he had the advantage of troops, and he only needed to win a battle to deter the Mongol tribes.

"But the current situation is very different, our army still has nearly 20,000 horses and horses with the power of new victories, while Shuosai's department is only more than 17,000, and most of them are Horqin cavalry. Now if he were to fight a decisive battle with us, he would not be sure of victory. ”

"That'...... What does the military advisor mean? ”

"Return to Hulun Lake. Ninety percent of the Qing army will avoid our main force and turn to raid the Sunit tribe to avenge Duoduo. ”

Teng Ji was taken aback, nodded and said, "The military advisor is right. Then I will ask the army of the three Khalkha divisions to go south together to assist in the defense. ”

Dai Xiuyuan shook his head again, "No, the Great Khan should suggest that the Khalkha army continue to go east and attack the Horqin and even Hulunbuyur area."

"And the Great Khan only led the Sunit tribe back to his hometown, and then displayed more recently seized items, and called on the Tumert tribes to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty like you. At that time, the Jianju will be exhausted in all directions, and there will be no strength left to attack the Sunit department. ”

The more Teng Jisi thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and even if he wanted to turn around, "I'll go and gather the soldiers." ”

Dai Xiuyuan stopped him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Don't worry, Duoduo was suddenly ambushed this time, and the news won't be spread for a while." We will wait a few more days, and we will get something. ”

Although Teng Jisi was puzzled, he still deployed in Ud as he said. After waiting for another three days, I saw that a large group of chariots and horses escorted the grain and grass baggage, which was the grain and grass baggage sent by Horqin to Duoduo.

The Sunites immediately swarmed out, captured hundreds of generals and thousands of people who were escorting the carts, and seized all the carriages, horses, and supplies.

After counting the income, Teng Jisi was overjoyed, and the car carried enough grain and grass for 30,000 horses to eat for a month, as well as a large number of weapons, winter clothes and other things.

Dai Xiuyuan inadvertently saw a soldier take out a firearm from this batch of weapons, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it over to take a closer look, and immediately frowned. He had seen the flintlock gun used by the Dragon Guard, and the one in front of him was nine points similar to it!

He grabbed the officer next to him who was in charge of the list of seizures, glanced at the gun in his hand, and asked, "How many guns are there?" ”

"Hui military division, a total of seven hundred."

That night, Dai Xiuyuan divided all the Mongolian guards and subordinates, leaving only a few accompanying Dragon Guard soldiers to guard outside.

Previously, he was going around in circles on the Horqin grassland with Teng Jisi, and it was difficult for him to have the opportunity to contact Fujing, so this time he took the opportunity of Sunit's troops to go south, and wrote a secret letter about the Qing army's flint and the recent situation outside the Saiwai to His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King.

Besides, Duoduo ran crazy with his entourage all the way, but he barely got rid of the pursuers, but unexpectedly, Dai Xiuyuan had already let people inform the tribes in Mobei, saying that a big man in Jianzhou might pass by, and those who captured it would be rewarded with a thousand taels.

Although the elite and strong parts of the Khalkha tribes were recruited to participate in the battle of Ud, the elders, women, and even children of the tribe were also able to shoot on horseback, and they gathered together to deal with more than 300 remnants of soldiers.

Duoduo suffered greatly along the way, and by the time he reached the vicinity of Korqin in despair, there were only a dozen people left by his side.

……

Kaha looked at Qiantang Jiangxin boredly, poured a glass of wine into his stomach, and glared at the green battalion soldier who was fanning next to him, "Didn't you eat?" Push harder! ”

"Yes, yes." The two of them were busy and worked harder.

"What the hell is the chief officer of the Navy?" Kaha couldn't help but think of the message sent by Suo Hong last night, more than 100,000 troops had left Nanjing and rushed to Zhejiang, "Seeing others win a lot of military achievements, Lao Tzu is drinking here and drinking!" ”

He swallowed another cup, "Sailor who is a fart, I have never had half a piece of ship board in the Qing Dynasty, and I have not laid down the Central Plains of the Han people?" It's a matter of transporting some men and horses across the river, and letting those Han people who surrender come......"

He was grumbling when a roe deer-headed flag soldier entered the cabin and smiled flatteringly at him, "Master, you have good goods again." ”

"Oh?" Only then did Kaha's eyes shine a little, and he hurriedly said, "Where is it?" ”

Although the chief soldier of this water division is boring, but fortunately, there are many prostitutes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he has people robbed the painting boat in various tributaries of Qiantang every once in a while, and when he encounters a beautiful woman, he will send it for him to have fun. It became his only pastime.

The roe-headed man waved his hand behind him, and immediately two young women were ushered in. Kaha then laughed, "Good! Sure enough, it's a good product! ”

The two dusty women already knew his identity, and immediately got tired of it, "My lord, let's drink with you......"

In a short time, Kaha was already in the middle of spring and gasping in the boat.

"Your Excellency," a man dressed as an officer of the Green Battalion seemed not to hear the movement in the cabin, and quickly ran to the door and clicked on one knee, and said in a loud voice, "My lord, the sentinel boat at the mouth of the river just came to report that a team of warships had entered the Qiantang and was speeding towards this side. ”

Kaha was disturbed and said angrily, "Bastard! It's just the remnants of the Zhejiang army, and this is also coming?! ”

"Hui, Lord Hui, it doesn't seem to be the Zhejiang army," the person outside the cabin said busily: "Look at the flag, it is the sun and moon on a blue background, and most of them are Fujian soldiers." There were nearly fifty warships, of which five or six were large. ”

Hearing that there was indeed a police situation, Kaha was completely "Yaxing", turned around and told the two women a few words, put on their clothes and came out, frowning and saying: "It's just fifty boats, and they will be destroyed." ”

The officer said carefully, "...... Please give an order. ”

Gaha was stunned when he heard this, he rode a horse and used a sword since he was a child, and it was only last year that he got on the ship that surrendered to the Ming army several times, so he almost didn't know anything about water warfare.

He waved his hand again and said, "Go and call Su Li." ”

"Yes."

This Su Li was originally an officer under Zheng Zhilong, but when Gaha was transferred to the chief soldier of the Qiantang Water Division, he happened to meet this person, and when he saw that he was quite proficient in boats, he brought Zhejiang to the post of town commander.
