Chapter 25 Obey the soft

This entry into the customs with them all the way to the wind, no danger all the way down more than 2,000 miles, deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and plundered, the Jiannu army in this small half a year, almost rarely encountered the enemy, rarely eat any defeat, even if it is occasionally attacked by the Ming army, it is also a small battle, and it is nothing to suffer a loss.

They have never suffered a decent defeat, so that these Jiannu soldiers and generals have already reached the point of invincibility during this time, and their self-confidence can be said to have reached the point of bursting, thinking that they are invincible in the world, and even those Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han soldiers who surrendered to them feel that they are already too amazing.

This is a very good phenomenon for an army, which can make this army full of self-confidence, not afraid of any enemy, and can allow the generals to play the strongest combat effectiveness on the battlefield, if in a derogatory sense, this is an arrogance, but in a positive sense, this is a sense of honor for a soldier.

However, the self-confidence and sense of honor they have built up have been dissipated by this army of the family in the past few days, and the kind of invincible self-confidence that they have just established is that they were smashed and shattered in front of the army.

In the past two days, as long as Dolgon called someone's name and let him fight, the faces of these generals immediately turned pale, although they did not dare to disobey, but the expression like going to the execution ground betrayed the fear in their hearts.

The most disturbing thing for Dolgon and Du Du was not these, but the more than 30,000 Mongolian Eight Banners who went out with them, and the reason why these Mongolian tribes were willing to be driven by Jiannu was not that they forgot the glory of their ancestors, but that they themselves were not united, and they were far away in the grasslands outside the Guan, their productivity was low, and they lacked all kinds of things, so they could not confront the organized Jiannu at all.

They were powerless to fight against Jiannu, and they also saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, so they could only choose the lesser of two powers, and followed Jiannu to mix, in fact, were they really willing to be driven by Jiannu?

The answer is yes, these Mongolians are not willing to be a dog for Jiannu, the reason why they follow Jiannu is because they can't beat Jiannu, and they can more or less get a little benefit from Daming by following Jiannu, even if Jiannu eats meat, how much soup should be given to them!

Therefore, over the years, Jiannu has repeatedly entered the pass and plundered, and the Mongolian tribes are very enthusiastic to send elite cavalry to follow the Jiannu army into the pass, so that they can also follow the plunder to meet their material needs.

In fact, the Mongolian tribes in this era are very poor, the steppe they live in, also because of the influence of the Xiaoice River period, the climate is very cold, and they graze grass for a living, although there are many cattle, sheep and horses, but they can't eat these things all day, they also need to eat food, and they can't do without tea, salt, and even they can't even get iron tools, because they have no mining and iron smelting skills, they can only rely on the export of Guannai, so even the pots they eat must rely on the output of Guannai.

The Ming Dynasty has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Mongolian ministries, restricting the trading volume of the mutual market, and those officials who manage the mutual market have tried their best to exploit the Mongolian ministries and raise the prices of exported goods very high, but the prices of the things used by the Mongolian ministries to trade are very low, so the Mongolian ministries have long been dissatisfied with this.

Later, Jiannu rose, so many tribes in the Mongolian tribes turned to the arms of Jiannu, but they just wanted to follow Jiannu and get more benefits.

Over the years, they have been a dog's leg to Jiannu and helped Jiannu to bring disaster to the border, but in fact, they are not loyal to Jiannu, it is just an exchange of interests.

This time when they entered the customs, it is good to say that these Mongolian tribes who followed Jiannu into the customs have also made a lot of money in this half-year loot, and they are all as happy as if they have eaten a fart.

But in the past few days in Tianjin Wei, and Yu Jiajun fierce battle for several days, these Mongols began to become less obedient, because Dolgon does things, has always been egoism first, leading things, often let these Mongols do, in the face of the sharp firearms of the Yu family army, although the Mongolian cavalry is brave and good at fighting, good at riding and shooting, but they can not give full play to their advantages at all, every time they rush over on horseback, bang bang a row of guns and cannons, these brave Mongolian cavalry, on the spot were beaten people on their backs, heavy casualties.

In the past few days, the Mongolian tribes have suffered the greatest casualties, of course, not to mention the Han troops who have always been used as cannon fodder.

The Mongols followed out to make a bargain, but they didn't come to play with their lives, when they ran into soft persimmons, let them rush up and pinch them, they were still willing to do it, but when they ran into Yu Jiajun, a hard stubble that can break their teeth, they could do it once or twice, and they did it three or four times, but they took them to fill the pit every day, and they didn't do it.

These Mongolian soldiers are the most elite clansmen in the tribes, and they are the mainstay of the tribe.

So the Mongols have begun to stop doing it in the past two days, and they are obviously dissatisfied with it, although it has not yet reached the point where they have escaped by themselves, but they have also proposed that instead of being blocked here, it is better to simply discard these goods and raw mouths, change the local wind and shout, and quickly go out of the customs to pull down, this time the loss will be lost, but the old book can not be folded here.

This is also the reason why Dolgon began to send a large number of Eight Banners to fight in the past two days, mainly because he was afraid that if he was forced too hard, these Mongols of the Eight Banners of Mongolia would turn against them.

After a few days of fierce fighting, Dorgon also felt that they were in big trouble this time.

This group of Yu Jiajun is really powerful, they have repeatedly hit a wall, tried their best, but they still can't break through here, it's not that Yu Jiajun blocked all the way out, but there is Yu Jiajun stuck in the Tianjin Wei area, even if it is to give Dolgon a guts, he doesn't dare to lead the troops to escape over Tianjin Wei just like this.

Once they made a detour to cross Tianjin Wei, Yu Jiajun suddenly stopped them and gave them a beating, and then they really didn't have time to cry.

Therefore, as long as the Yu family army is still blocked here, Dolgon will not dare to make a detour, and the two sides will be deadlocked here.

It is said that it is a stalemate, but in fact, it is too much to promote Jiannu's side, they are already exhausted from fighting, and at this time they are no longer able to fight, and on the side of the Yu family's army, although the pressure is also very great, but Yu Xiaotian has constantly ordered the brigades to adjust and change their defenses in the past few days, and always let the soldiers under his command get a certain amount of rest and replenishment.

These days, the second batch of recruits from Zhifu Island and Fushan has arrived in Tianjinwei, although the number is not much, but it is enough to make up for the battle losses of the various departments in the past few days, and timely let the departments replenish the recruits, although the combat experience of the recruits is very poor, and the training is not sufficient, but a few veterans with a recruit, there is still no problem, as long as these recruits are allowed to go into battle to fight a few battles, these recruits will quickly grow into fierce veterans.

And with the arrival of the second batch of material personnel, Yu Jiajun also quickly replenished sufficient ammunition, replaced those weapons that were consumed due to repeated fierce battles, especially some wolf tooth rifles, under the high-intensity use, they have been rifled, and the power range has plummeted, and the arrival of the second batch of materials has made these musketeers able to quickly replace the barrel and replace some damaged accessories, so that the weapons in their hands can be restored to the best condition.

The second group arrived with the ship and a temporary group of repair shops, a total of more than 200 people, most of these people were technicians transferred from various arsenals, but they belonged to the militia system, this time they were also recruited over, directly transported to Tianjin Wei, in the Tianjin Acropolis, on the spot with the simple tools they carried, set up a temporary repair station.

Many weapons and armor damaged in the battle do not need to be sent to the Fushan Institute for repair, let alone withdrawn to Fujian and Taiwan for maintenance, and many weapons and armor can be repaired directly in the Tianjin Acropolis after the arrival of the repair station, and can be re-sent to the armies for use as soon as possible.

In addition, the high-intensity shelling in the past few days has caused some losses or failures in the artillery of the artillery battalions in the army, because the cultural quality of the soldiers in this era is low, and it is good to teach them to use it, even if it is some simple faults, it is not easy for the artillery to discharge them on their own.

With the arrival of the repair station, dozens of mechanics were also transported here, and they quickly rushed to the garrisons of the various artillery battalions, and directly carried out emergency repairs on the artillery positions, so that some of the faulty guns were quickly restored to their use capacity.

Dolgon, Dudu and other slave chiefs got together, trapped in the city, how could they not think of a better way to defeat the group of Yu family army in front of them, let's take a detour, what about these hundreds of thousands of people, a large number of livestock and those mountains of goods? It is impossible to take it away.

They have already seen the combat power of the Yu family's army, and it is impossible to slip away from under their noses with these people and goods! Since Yu Jiajun had made up his mind to prevent them from leaving the customs, he would not let them slip away.

So they discussed and discussed, throwing away these people and goods, and escaping from the customs in a detour, these guys were all reluctant, but if they didn't lose these goods and people, they couldn't leave.

In the end, Dolgon had to give in and negotiate with Yu Xiaotian, the commander of the Yu family's army, and give them some benefits, even if it was to give them two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, and a batch of livestock, as long as they could get out of the way of Tianjin Wei and let them go.

Now, these slave chieftains have no better way, so they agreed to the idea proposed by Dolgon, and on the same day, Dolgon sent one of his subordinates, who had been a thousand generals outside the Guan, to ask him to represent himself and go to the side of the Yu family army to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian.
