336 accidentally caught a Tartar prince
(Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!) )
Thundered......
A black wave swept in the distance, and Haug led more than 10,000 Tartars back.
"Meet the manager, Hauge is ordered to return."
Hauge knew that Dolgon probably hated him to death at this time, and he didn't dare to make a mistake for Dolgon to grab the handle, and after getting Dolgon's military order, he immediately collected his troops and returned.
When he returned, he walked up to Dorgon very respectfully, bowed on one knee, and in the past, these military orders were simplified after the Tartar generals.
After all, there are many blood relations between these high-ranking Tartar generals who lead the troops, and to put it bluntly, they are all members of the family, either brothers or uncles and nephews.
Who let the Tartars be like this, and all of them are the cubs of Nurhachi's wild boar skin, and the other Tartar nobles are also mostly married.
But today Hauge didn't dare to simplify these etiquettes, and knelt directly on one knee and gave the greatest military salute, otherwise Hauge guaranteed that Dorgon would trouble him.
Dolgon saw Haug kneeling in the tent, and did not say anything for a long time to get him up, but Haug lowered his head, and Dolgon did not speak, he made up his mind in his heart, and he could not get up even if he was killed.
The two of them were at a stalemate like this, so that Abatai and the other Tartar generals on the side all looked at Dolgon.
"Get up."
In the end, Dorgon suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.
No matter how much Dolgon hated Hauge at this time, but at this time they were still in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the military was important, so it was not appropriate to tear their faces with Hauge head-on.
At this time, Dorgon's top priority was to find Dordor, and then bring the Tartar army back to the outside of the pass, although they plundered a lot of people, wealth, livestock, etc.
But the price paid is far beyond the estimate before the Tatars entered the customs, and by now the Tatars have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, more than half of which were planted in the hands of Li Zixiao.
And all of them are Dolgon's army, and Yue Tuo's Tartar division all the way, because of the route, he has not encountered Li Zixiao.
"Seventh brother, I'll give you another 5,000 fine horsemen, and you will immediately lead people to the north, pursue the Ming army, and search for Duoduo's whereabouts by the way.
If you can strangle that Ming army, bring back that Li Zixiao's head.
After returning from this battle, I personally asked the emperor for your credit, you have worked hard for us in the southern and northern wars of the Qing Dynasty over the years, and your title should also be mentioned.
Even if you can't be crowned a prince, it's never too much to be crowned a county king, Seventh Brother, it's up to you to avenge Duoduo. ”
Dorgon walked up to Abatai and said in a deep voice, then gave Abatai a bear hug.
Dolgon's intention to win over Abatai was very obvious, which made Hauge in the back can't help but stare at him.
After hearing Dolgon's words, Abatai also understood that Dolgon was trying to win him over, but he was still very grateful in his heart, because he had been longing for the title of county king for a long time.
Princely titles like Dorgon and Hauge are the highest titles of the Tartars besides the emperor, and Abatai is self-aware and has no thoughts about the prince.
But he still hopes to obtain the title of county king.
Even if his background is not very good, after all, he is the seventh son of Nurhachi, and the current Qing Emperor Huang Taiji is still his younger brother.
"Fourteenth brother, don't worry, I will try my best to find that Ming army and never let them go."
Abatai was excited, but he didn't dare to talk too much.
"Okay, Brother Seven, please."
At this time, Abatai and Dolgon shouted as a 'seventh brother' and a 'fourteenth brother', and the brotherly love was fully revealed, which made Hauge behind him cry out badly.
It would be too bad for Abatai if he was really won over by Dolgon, not to mention that Abatai did not have much power among the Tartars.
But he personally participated in this battle, and led the troops for many years, which allowed him to accumulate a lot of prestige among the Tartar army.
If Abatai really submits to Dolgon's men and does things for Dolgon, it is undoubtedly not what the Emperor Taiji wants to see, and Hauge has a gloomy face at this time, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about God.
"Adali, Brother Guta, Tuo'an, the three of you will take two thousand cavalry and search in the east, west, and south directions, and you must find the whereabouts of Prince Yu.
If you can't find it, you will loot all the people of the Ming army villages along the way to this king, and those who dare to resist will be killed.
It's still the old rule, only young and strong men and women and children over ten years old are left, and the rest of the old, young, sick and children are all killed by this king, and if you can't find Duoduo, this king will let thousands of people of the Ming Kingdom be buried together. ”
Dolgon, full of anger, ordered the three capable generals behind him.
Hauge gave orders to each of his generals, but he didn't give Hauge a soldier or a horse, and didn't give him any tasks.
And Hauge is also happy to be idle, and he doesn't plan to take care of the rest of the things anymore, otherwise it will be difficult to be caught by Dolgon.
"Lord Wang, you sent out all the soldiers and horses in your hands, what should you do with Ji Ze's Guanning Iron Cavalry, let's attack from all sides, in case the Guanning Iron Cavalry seizes the opportunity, it will be easy to break it one by one."
Seeing that in order to find Dordor, Dolgon scattered all the troops that were less than 30,000 in his hands at this time into several roads and attacked in all directions to search.
Some Tartar generals raised their concerns.
"Don't worry, Gao Qiqian that gelding dog, timid and afraid, is just a greedy villain, let him be greedy for some silver, frame a minister, he still has some ability.
If he is allowed to lead his troops to fight, he is not bullshit, even if he has nearly 30,000 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry in his hands at this time, he does not have the courage to take the initiative to attack us.
The Han people have a saying that is very right, called 'a soldier bears, a nest of bears', Gao Qiqian is not Lu Xiangsheng, let alone Yuan Chonghuan.
Besides, I will personally lead me to ride five thousand horses with a white flag, and guard against them here, they can't afford to make big waves, so you can do it boldly. ”
Dolgon couldn't see the high dive and didn't pay any attention to it.
Moreover, Dolgon dared to speak arrogantly, and he led his men with 5,000 Tartar cavalry with a white flag, and he dared to face the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was also Dolgon's self-confidence.
Dolgon became the owner of the Zhengbai Banner at the age of 17, and in recent years, he led the Zhengbai Banner to fight in the south and the north, especially the surrender of Mongolia and the destruction of Korea in the south, he has made great contributions.
Years of campaigning, not only let his men capture a lot, but also more and more strong soldiers, these 5,000 cavalry is Dolgon's old book, the most brave, with 5,000 against 30,000, he is really not afraid.
Thundered......
A group of Tartar cavalry rushed out of the Tartar camp, and then rushed in four directions: east, west, north and south.
Previously, before Dolgon's return, Abatai had sent out seven or eight thousand Tartar foot soldiers to search for Dordor's whereabouts.
With the return of Dolgon, he once again sent so many Tartar cavalry, with Jia Zhuang as the center, and spread out in all directions, and the people of the Ming Kingdom in this area soon fell into purgatory on earth.
……………………………………
At this time, more than ten miles southeast of Julu, on a remote sheep intestine path, Quartz was riding a horse, followed by two White Dragon Army cavalry.
And the two White Dragon Army cavalrymen were all one man and two horses, and they rode one by themselves.
On the other horse, there were two people tied to each other, none other than Duoduo, the prince of Yu of the Tartars, and Kong Youde, the traitor of the dog.
In the end, Duoduo still did not escape the fate of being captured by Quartz, and all the guards around Duoduo and Kong Youde were killed.
And Quartz was also wounded, and the seven soldiers of the White Dragon Army Escort Battalion who followed him were only two in the end.
"Li Yan."
Quartz rode on this very difficult trail, coupled with the bitter cold of winter.
At this time, the sky was snowing heavily, and the mountain road was slippery, and it was very difficult to walk, and at this time, Quartz was very dissatisfied and shouted to a guard behind him.
I saw a man wearing cotton armor with a strip of red cloth sewn on his chest, on which was written the word 'Wu Chang', and at this time he was a captain of the White Dragon Army Guard Battalion.
"Captain of the Guard, you call me." Li Yan rode close to the quartz, covered in snow.
"Li Yan, can you really get to the general's retreat route? If you can't find the general, don't blame Lao Tzu's military law for dealing with you at that time. ”
Quartz said irritably.
Li Yan's face was handsome, and there was a sense of confidence between his eyebrows, and he clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, the head of the guard, Li Yan will guarantee that the path he points to is absolutely correct."
Although the trail here is difficult to walk, it is better to find the Tartars, we have now caught a prince of the Tartars, and it is estimated that the Tartars outside have turned the sky upside down.
Therefore, the road must not be taken, and now as long as we flash over a mountain range in front of us, we will reach the route of the general's retreat, and we will stay there, and we will be able to wait until the general arrives.
Li Yan calculated the time, at this time, it was impossible for the general to pass no matter what, most of them were foot soldiers, but there must be wounded soldiers when retreating, and it was impossible to go too fast.
Instead of risking our wandering outside, we might as well wait for the rabbits, and now that it's snowing again, it's even harder for the Tartars to find us, and even God will help the general. ”
"Okay, Lao Tzu believes in your words, then keep walking. This time, you can catch the dog prince of Tartar, and you also brought a dog traitor, you have made a great contribution.
The general has clear rewards and punishments, and when I go back to report to the general, you won't be able to run away from your merits. ”
After listening to Li Yan's words, Quartz was finally in a better mood, and the more he looked at Li Yan, the more pleasing he became, and said in a loud voice.
"Then Li Yan will thank the guards here first." Li Yan smiled slightly and said.
If Li Zixiao was here at this time and heard that this person's name was Li Yan, he would definitely be startled, and then ecstatic.
Because this person is none other than Li Zicheng, the first strategist under Li Zicheng, the king of the late Ming Dynasty, Li Yan.
Li Yan is a native of Kaifeng, Henan, and he was supposed to join the rebel army two years later and follow Li Zicheng, but now the appearance of Li Zixiao has changed Li Yan's destiny.
Half a year ago, Li Yan inadvertently learned the name of Li Zixiao in Yongcheng County from a businessman, and then he became interested in the white dragon bandits that had been circulating around for a long time.
Later, Li Yan learned that Li Zixiao had defeated the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army many times, and then accepted the edict of the imperial court, and had an excellent reputation among the people.
The curious Li Yan pretended to be a merchant and entered Yongcheng, where he met the White Dragon Army for the first time and underwent a strict interrogation.
It was the first time he had seen such a disciplined team.
When they passed by the checkpoint set up by the White Dragon Army, according to the practice of passing through the customs in the past, they would stuff some broken silver into the hands of the Ming soldiers to make it convenient.
Even if you don't give it, the Ming soldiers at those checkpoints will make it difficult in every possible way until you vomit some blood.
However, that time, when they stuffed the broken silver into the White Dragon Sergeant again, they were refused, and they were still strictly inspected, and after checking that they did not carry dangerous goods, they were put into Yongcheng County.
In Yongcheng County, he was shocked by the changes in this originally barren county town, and busy farmers could be seen in the farmland from morning to night.
These peasants are all like chickens, regardless of the tiredness of farming, which is completely different from the landlords and tenants that Li Yan has seen in other places in the past.
Later, it took Li Yan a while to understand the policies implemented by Li Zixiao in Yongcheng County, and he was even more shocked.
Li Yan is a scholar, and talented, knowledgeable, he was promoted at a young age, and he said in "Ming Ji Beiluo" that he "has literary and military talents", and is a talent who can write and martial arts.
He can naturally see at a glance that the terrible policies that Li Zixiao has implemented on his own turf are simply shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!
In particular, Li Zixiao's policies of 'fighting local tyrants and dividing land' and 'everyone must pay taxes' violated the ancestral system inherited from the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.
This is no different from a rebellion, but Li Yan was surprised that Li Zixiao was still able to survive on his small territory and not be exterminated by the imperial court, which has to be said to be a miracle.
With the deepening of his understanding, Li Yan felt that he had been completely attracted to the White Dragon Army, and the kind of policy implemented by Li Zixiao had always been what he had in mind.
It's a pity that although he is talented, the imperial court at this time did not give him the opportunity to display his ambitions, and he has completely lost his heart to the current Ming Dynasty.
So, Li Yan, who was strongly driven by curiosity, saved a recruitment of the White Dragon Army, and he was selected without any obstacles because of his strong body, a little martial arts, and literacy.
In this way, Li Yan left the army two years ahead of schedule, and did not join Li Zicheng's men, but came to the White Dragon Army.
At this time, it's a pity that Li Zixiao didn't know that there was such a person as Li Yan under him, otherwise he would never let him be a district chief.
But gold shines there, and this time Quartz pursued Dodor with seven hundred guards, and was once lost.
Kong Youde, a traitor, used a little trick and almost let him get away with it.
At the critical moment, it was Li Yan who observed carefully and saw through Kong Youde's tricks, so that Quartz could lead people to catch up with Duoduo and them, a fierce battle, and finally successfully captured Duoduo.
Moreover, Li Yan also knew Kong Youde, so he asked Quartz to spare his life and bring him back with Duoduo, which is why Quartz just said that Li Yan had made a great contribution to this trip.
And not long after, on the other side of the mountain that was only separated from Quartz and Li Yan, on an official road, a Tartar cavalry was roaring past.
It's a pity that these Tartar cavalry don't know that the Prince Yu they are looking for has leaked under their noses.
