Ever since Nurhachi's use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, the Qing people have always had a firm strategy.

That is, the Ming army was not allowed to have a main field force that dared to resist and could defeat Jiannu.

When such a main force appears, no matter what Jiannu generals will try their best to exterminate it. Therefore, looking through the history books, you can find all kinds of tragic examples of the Ming and Qing wars. Anyone who dares to take the lead to resist Jiannu will be exterminated by Jiannu's concentrated forces.

Again, for the Qing people. This is not so much a grand strategy. It's more of a helpless strength gap.

The national strength of the Ming State is undoubtedly far superior to that of Jiannu. For the Qing people, an all-out war to swallow the Ming Dynasty had never imagined before Li Zicheng broke Beijing. Even though it rushed into Shanhaiguan and occupied the city of Beijing, the Qing State, which had already been founded, was more like an organized bandit than a civilized country.

Therefore, if we do not press down on a large army that has the strength to fight with the Qing army, we will sit back and watch the development. Then sooner or later, one day, the few Jiannu will be wiped out by the Ming Dynasty little by little, and the last vitality will be consumed alive.

Although Abatai loved the military and was careless about government affairs, he still understood this very deeply.

On the way from Riverhouse to Texas.

He stopped with Ptolema, and behind him was the vicissitudes of life Zhao Xiong, and the nearly 100 Manchurian cavalry who followed him in the battle.

He looked at the army slowly marching on the road, and the surging anger in his chest suddenly grew: "This is my first southern expedition to the Ming Dynasty. Behind me, there is a mighty army. What I am facing is the last force that the vast empire of the Ming Kingdom can resist. ”

"Now, we are invincible!" Kato clenched his fists tightly.

Zhao Xiong pursed his lips and did not speak. His gaze went beyond the vast army and landed on the distant periphery, where a few squads of Jiannu had galloped into the village. There are also those that are even more exempt from military law. A Mongolian horse team carrying large bags and small bags from Hejian Province.

The more powerful such an army is, the more serious the sins he has committed when he enters the Ming Kingdom.

Zhao Xiong could see that behind such a huge army, there were tens of thousands of Han people who had been captured and tied with ropes. These enclosed former Ming people have a new identity at this moment: Manchu slaves. and the Eight Banners of the Han Army who surrendered to Jiannu led by a staff general after breaking the Hejian Mansion.

Now. This famous general of Zhou He was transformed into a white flag of the Han army, leading 2,000 Han soldiers to walk on a wheat field.

The official road to Dezhou is narrow and dilapidated, and the easy-to-follow road naturally allows the warriors of the Qing Dynasty to go, and the second is that there are Mongolian horse teams moving forward. Then, all that was left for the Eight Banners of the Han Army was some cold and muddy roads that were difficult to walk.

It's just that when he saw those wheat fields, Zhao Xiong frowned slightly.

"Master......" Zhao Xiong came to Hetuo's side and said in a low voice: "The Eight Banners of the Han Army have joined the army. Not an inch has been made. At the moment, he is still trampling on those crops, so why not take care of it? ”

"What's the matter, it's the right thing to go south to chase the prince of the Ming Kingdom at this moment. Is it possible to let the Eight Banners of the Han Army follow ahead? If they don't want to be left behind and dealt with by military law, they will follow honestly, what do you care about so much? He Tuo was in the middle of the excitement, and he didn't care about Zhao Xiong, he rode his horse and whipped forward.

In front of Texas City.

"Master Jun. Master Jun, have mercy on my family! My Zheng family has been doing good deeds for generations. Today, I only left an only son, if I let this only son die here, my old Zheng family in Qiwang Village, Texas will be cut off! ”

"Whoever is in the city, open the gates quickly! My grandfather, Hongjuren, and Lord Zhizhou have also been friends for generations. You stopped us from entering the city, aren't you afraid that Lord Zhizhou will blame us? ”

"Run! Jiannu is here! ”

"Open the gates and let me in!"

……

It's a pity. No matter how much the people under the city threatened and pleaded, the people at the head of the city did not open the gates.

The defenders here are no longer the original eroded city gate defenders, but have been replaced by a Royal Guards Regiment Texas Garrison Battalion named New Army.

Although many of these people are veterans of the city. But in front of the squads of the Flying Bear Battalion picking up the law enforcement knives, they finally did not dare to tremble in front of the harsh military discipline.

On the top of the city. Zheng Ying, the chief military advisor of the Flying Bear Battalion, who hurried over, exhaled a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. After a short period of training at the military academy, this officer who once served as a hundred households was able to be transferred to the chief military division of the Flying Bear Battalion because of his cultural literacy. At this moment, he said to Xu Yanqi, the chief officer on the side: "Captain, carry out Plan C!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Yanqi wrinkled his brows and said, "This time, Jiannu is menacing, I'm afraid it won't be good." ”

Zheng Ying's side, slowly bowed his head, and the newly appointed Qi Yuan said loudly: "The thief has come to the house, and the master is still counting on goodness?" Captain, in my opinion, he will fight to the death! No matter how menacing it is, it is not in the plan, it is also expected by His Highness? ”

Hearing Qi Yuan say this, Xu Yanqi glanced sideways, and said in his heart, these scholars taught by His Highness in the military martial arts school are quite bold, and they are much stronger than those ordinary soldiers who are only courageous by money and food.

Thinking about it like this, Xu Yanqi had a good impression of the military advisors who were equipped with it, and said, "Well said! The state uses people to raise soldiers, in order to beat him hard at this moment! ”

When Zheng Ying heard this, her chest suddenly straightened. Zhu Cihong equipped each Yingwu with civilian officers such as the chief military division as auxiliary manpower for the generals, but many generals did not like it very much.

It seems that this face has to be earned by yourself!

It's just that as the chief official, Xu Yanqi had to consider the full suspicion and said: "What to do with these people outside the city?" ”

Hearing this, Qi Yuan, who was originally still high-spirited, frowned. It's just that Zheng Ying is pondering.

In normal times, Xu Yanqi faced the siege of thieves, thinking about it, but he could only decide to make the decision to give up the people.

But right now, Xu Yanqi turned his eyes and saw Zheng Ying pondering. I am secretly happy in my heart, isn't it true that the military advisor really has a way?

Sure enough, Zheng Ying said to Xu Yanqi: "Captain! Li Yongde, a hundred households in Dezhou Jinyiwei, told me...... If there are slaves who coerce the people into the city, they don't have to stop them all outside the city. ”

"Aren't you afraid of spies getting in?" Xu Yanqi said suspiciously. It's embarrassing to say that Jiannu has actually put extra effort into the ability to use the room. In the market, there are messages about the stories of several eunuchs who put Yuan Chonghuan to death, but they don't tell it. There are many stories of coercing the common people to force soldiers to be spies. (To be continued.) )
