No matter how Dorgon is here, he can be regarded as Nurhachi's legitimate son, their younger brother, and the leader of a banner. He is an important figure in the Hou Jin Dynasty and a symbol of the unity of the four Baylors.
But now that he is dead, it means that Hou Jin may be facing a split. This makes Huang Taiji secretly complain in his heart.
He is not yet ready to fall out with everyone. Although he has already won over Daishan, others are still at odds with him. They can maintain unity and stability only because of the biological mother of the three Dorgon brothers. , Nurhaci’s last concubine Abahai died in their hands.
Everyone has a grudge against Dorgon for killing their mother, and this is the basis for their unity.
So now that Dorgon is dead, Huang Taiji is very worried.
But he could no longer wait until the time to return to his hometown. After receiving the Pegasus message from Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu, Sun Chuanting led his troops back towards the Houjin Camp. Although these people were all mounted infantry, they were When Hou Jin had lost his ability to command at the grassroots level, there was still no problem with these mounted infantry attacking the rebels.
The rumble of the galloping horses resounded through the grassland, and an army of more than 30,000 people began to attack the Houjin Camp with an unstoppable momentum.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Eight Banners troops who were still cleaning up their camps all shouted loudly after seeing the smoke and dust in the distance.
But without the command of Niu Luerzhen at the grassroots level, these Eight Banners soldiers began to be in chaos like headless flies.
No one even knows what they are going to do.
It wasn't until Sun Chuanting led his army to a distance of less than three miles outside the camp that any of them remembered that they should report this matter to Huang Taiji. By the time Huang Taiji and other generals received the news, Sun Chuanting's army had already We have arrived outside the village gate.
And those Eight Banners soldiers who are said to be brave and good at fighting have not even formed the most basic defensive formation, and everyone is still confused there.
Huang Taiji and the banner chief generals and their guards killed hundreds of people in a row but failed to stabilize the situation. They had no choice but to mount their horses and lead a few elites towards the rear camp. Those chaotic soldiers They all couldn't care less about us.
At this time, it is still important to escape.
Huang Taiji told himself that Cao Mengde still had the defeat of Chibi, the danger of Huarong Road, and the time when he cut off his beard and abandoned his robe, so his current situation was not a big deal. Even Zhuge Liang had his fault in Jieting, as long as he If you can live, then you will have a chance to come back.
Therefore, these nobles of the Hou Jin Dynasty did not care about their horse power and let their horses run at full speed. They didn't care whether their horses were still alive after finishing the journey.
As for who attacked them, they still didn't know at all, and they still thought it was Lin Danhan who attacked them.
And those who came to report the news did not see the Daming flag with the word "囧" on it. They just told Huang Taiji that tens of thousands of cavalry were rushing towards the camp.
As for how many of these tens of thousands of cavalry are real cavalry, they don't know, and they can't tell the difference between cavalry and mounted infantry. If they both ride on horses, they won't know the difference without using their hands. .
Besides, whether there will be so many horses in the Ming Dynasty is a question.
So they determined that this was Lin Dan Khan's hand on them.
In fact, it was Sun Chuanting who found all the horses in the Xuanfu that could humiliate people. Whether they were war horses or pack horses, they were originally used as mounted infantry. Who would have thought that Huang Taiji was so bold and played such a big banquet? On that day, Sun Chuanting would certainly not disappoint Huang Taiji's good intentions. He led his men to kill for a day and night. He lost nearly 10,000 people, and let Hou kill and capture more than 60,000 people from Hou Jin's army.
More than 30,000 people were killed, and the remaining ones who surrendered were almost all brought by Horqin and Wu Keshan. It must be said that the grassland tribes had no fighting power at this time, and they were used to surrendering. .
Sun Chuanting looked at the beheaded and captured troops of the Later Jin Dynasty, and felt very satisfied. For a moment, he felt that Sun Wu could only do this in his life. He had people cut off the heads of the soldiers and generals of the Later Jin Dynasty who died in the grassland. After a simple salt-making process, people took the prisoners and headed towards Zhangjiakou.
Now he was a little curious about the surprise that Lan Yu had mentioned before leaving. He originally thought that the surprise was Huang Taiji's camp, but he felt something was wrong, but he didn't think about it carefully. He just brought the army with waists and heads, He went to besiege and kill the eight major locust merchants in Zhangjiakou. Before coming, Chongzhen told him that the eight major locust merchants would collect at least ten million taels of silver. Chongzhen kept this money in mind.
As people who were promoted and appointed by Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting and the three of them also kept this money in mind, and they also made up their minds to dedicate this money to Chongzhen.
And in Zhangjiakou, the eight major locust merchants are now trapped in their respective houses and cannot get out. They are all as anxious as ants on a hot pot. They are in such a mess that they don't even know how to escape. If they want to They sent people out to make inquiries, but the result was that everyone died when they went out, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or children.
This completely frightened them. When Sun Chuanting and others came back with their heads wrapped around their waists, everyone who saw them was frightened. Both the people and the soldiers were fighting in two groups. They didn't know anyone else, but that one They knew all the heads with braids. As for killing good people and taking credit for their crimes, they didn't think about it, because everyone could tell by looking at their scalps that these were people who had shaved their hair all year round. Besides, no one was talking about it. Let them kill.
Under the leadership of Zuo Liangyu, these armies took the place of Lan Yu's personal soldiers and surrounded the eight major locust merchants and the mansions guarded by Zhangjiakou.
With a loud bang, Zuo Liangyu, who was standing in front of Fan Yongdou's mansion, pulled out his sword and pointed at Fan's mansion in front of him.
"Your Majesty has decreed that eight Shanxi businessmen, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, colluded to connect with foreign countries. Their crimes are unforgivable. They should confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans as a warning to others. Kill them!"
Following Zuo Liangyu's order, the army rushed towards Fan Yongdou's mansion. After entering, there was a killing spree regardless of men or women. From the octogenarian to the nursing child, no one survived. After everyone was killed, , they carried the body out of the house.
The rest of the people who checked the arrears had nothing to do with them. At that time, Jin Yiwei was on errand, and they were just responsible for killing people.
They will naturally get the rewards they deserve after this war, and they are quite relieved at this point.
