Chapter 395: The Four Great Baylors

The gains and losses in this are clear at a glance, the losses can almost be said to be minimal, but the gains are extremely huge.

For this kind of thing, which is almost a million benefits, Huang Taiji quickly agreed.

However, in order to be able to guarantee the bottom line and leave a little capital to return to the capital, Huang Taiji detained many of Zu Dashou's sons, nephews, and a number of generals and cronies who could be related to each other as hostages left in the Houjin army to coerce Zu Dashou.

Huang Taiji originally thought that this time it was a plan for Jinzhou, and it was nine out of ten.

It's a pity that the result is not the same as he imagined, Zu Dashou himself took a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou City, he restored the identity of the chief military officer and young master of the Ming Dynasty.

He threw his son, nephew, and a number of generals and cronies into the Houjin army, and returned to the arms of the Ming court.

Huang Taiji waited in Daling River for a few days, and before he waited for the expected result, he knew that Zu Dashou had probably broken the contract, and he had fallen into a small mess.

However, at that time, he did not seal the way out, he still left a group of relatives of Zu Dashou, looking forward to future changes.

Immediately afterwards, it was the late battle of the Daling River, and the Huaxia heavy artillery unit, which had been prepared for more than half a year, completely defeated the Houjin army that had just won a series of victories through long-distance artillery bombardment in half an hour.

Then, Chen Xin personally led the guard flag team to chase and kill all the way in the blizzard, and finally, nearly 100 kilometers away, assisted the remnants of the Daming Sichuan Army in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River and killed Huang Taiji himself.

In the end, in January of this year, half a month after Huang Taiji was killed, the troops left behind in Houjin learned the news of Huang Taiji's death from some deserters.

Initially, the news was dismissed as a rumor, and the Kim side cracked down on the deserters who spread the rumors.

However, as more and more Eight Banners fled back in the subsequent period of time, all kinds of news converged, and everyone began to doubt their beliefs.

Eventually, Dolgon secretly sneaked back to the White Banner under his control, launched a purge, and after completely controlling the White Flag, he stood up to preside over the situation and announced the death of Huang Taiji to everyone, which allowed the news to spread.

It's a pity that although Dolgon was named the Murgen Daiqing, that is, the so-called "Smart King", however, Dolgon in this time period is still young after all, and he is not the Dolgon who stood up to preside over the situation after Huang Taiji's violent death in history.

Therefore, although he himself has mastered the inlaid white flag, and is constantly trying to persuade some Baylor who stayed in the Houjin country, there are still some high-ranking Houjin officials who have fled back from the Daling River.

In the end, however, the effect was limited.

After several months of political competition, Dolgon, Yue Tuo, Dai Shan, and Duoduo temporarily formed the new Four Baylors, and restored the political system when Huang Taiji first ascended the throne, which is the so-called "Four Baylor Joint Discussion System".

Of course, this is just a compromise on the surface, in fact, in private, because of the death and capture of a large number of former Jin magnates, a large number of people and livestock have been vacated.

In terms of post-gold, these represent wealth, power, and status, and for these vacant positions, under the four major Baylors, they are almost a pot of porridge.

According to the analysis and judgment of the intelligence department, as long as the kingdom does not take the initiative to attack the Houjin side and give the enemy a strong external pressure, then the enemy's chaos will continue for a while.

Anyway, the final conclusion is that this year, it will be difficult for the Houjin army to organize large-scale sorties.

Chen Xin knew that as long as the Houjin army was not mobilized nationwide and launched an attack at one time, then the Chinese army could completely rely on various strongholds and fortresses between Jinzhou and Lushun to carry out a proactive defensive strategy.

This method can at least deal with the attack of the cavalry units of the Houjin Army with a scale of less than 10,000 people. Chen Xin is very confident in this.

"Big cat, you must train the elite infantry under your command into a new mounted infantry as soon as possible.

I will draw some officers and non-commissioned officers who are familiar with this mode of operation from the cavalry of the guard flag team to help the Lushun dispatch army train.

With the addition of the cavalry battalion that has been assigned to you, the number of cavalry units under your command has increased significantly.

When you finish training, you can quickly start attacking the Fuzhou area.

The main operational goal of the sabotage war was to harass the enemy's military cantonments and supply lines, force the Houjin side to increase investment in Fuzhou, and drag down the overall mobilization capacity of the Houjin. ”

When Zachdan heard Chen Xin call the big cat, he hurriedly looked around, and saw that there was no one else nearby, and the guards were all at least 10 meters away, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After hearing Chen Xin finish speaking, he muttered quietly.

"Big brother, if you say okay, talk about business, or when outsiders are present, you don't call for a nickname, why did you foul again!"

Chen Xin rolled his eyes, "I called my brother's nickname, what's in the way of others?" ”

"However, this title is too soft, too unprestigious, big cat, big cat, it's really a bit ashamed."

Chen Xin waved his hand and knocked on Zachdan's head with a brain melon, and said, "You kid, you lead the army alone, your wings are hard, aren't you?" ”

Zachdan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Brother, brother, please, it's okay to give some face, my soldiers are on the periphery, don't let them see you training me, it's too embarrassing." ”

Chen Xin glanced around, and sure enough, outside his cordon, there were several officers on horseback, looking this way. He had no choice but to stop.

"Okay, I'll give you face today."

Zachdan hurriedly put on makeup and thanked him.

After the two had made a joke, Zachdan immediately steered the conversation back to the point.

"My subordinates have already read the plans issued by the General Staff Department, and they have all memorized these plans, and they will definitely not make mistakes.

It's just that, your lordship, the number of scouts in the Lushun dispatch army is insufficient.

The soldiers of the 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion lost dozens of people in the last battle in Golden State.

Because of their special nature, scouts are not easy to replenish the soldiers, at least the recruits are not qualified for this post without two years of training.

Even if we draw personnel from among veterans and conduct training, it is not something that can be trained in a short period of time.

In the later battle of Dalinghe, weren't there some Houjin Army officers who led the troops to carry out the pre-battle anyway?

I thought, in that part of the Houjin Army anyway, there are still some full-time sentry cavalry, I don't know, these soldiers and horses, can be transferred out to supplement the second reconnaissance battalion under my command? ”
