Huang Taiji sat on the throne with a frown on his face. It has been ten days, but the small Pinghu Fort has not been defeated. Isn't this a joke?
The throne in his tent is a lightweight, mortise-and-tenon structure that was dismantled and carried on a camel. It was made by southern craftsmen who wasted a thousand jobs, and it was his favorite.
But at this time, he felt uncomfortable sitting all over.
The heavy casualties in the past few days made his heart bleed. Insomnia at night, palpitations, heart discomfort.
In order to establish his authority, he asked Zhenghuang Banner to send troops. Because he thinks this is a soft persimmon that can be beaten by his own people. At that time, prestige and credit will be there.
Unexpectedly, I hit the iron plate. The toes are not broken. Instead, Daishan and Amin came to watch the joke.
As of today, he had to stop attacking. Because more than 3,000 people have died. Zhenghuangqi's vitality was severely damaged. No more fighting. He also saw that relying on hard hitting would definitely not work.
He was thinking about what to do next. Then I saw Dorgon coming.
"Great Khan, the continuous battle has become a stalemate. I see that my brother is impatient. I am willing to lead the two white flags to take over the two yellow flags to attack this city." Dorgon said with his hand.
Huang Taiji's slender eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. He looked up and down in silence at Dorgon's green face. He lowered his eyelids again.
He didn't see any sarcasm on Dorgon's face, just the impulse that was consistent with his age.
Now he is being put on the fire, and he wants to get on the stove himself. Now he is not sure how Daishan and Amin will see the joke. Withdraw, don't give in, keep fighting, the losses are too great. Moreover, he has no good solution. But he also knew that such a brutal attack would not work.
That Ma Xi was a talented man, and even though the five thousand Gansu soldiers he commanded were in rags, with crude weapons, and were hungry and sallow, they still had light in their eyes.
It is completely different from those beggar soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
A vigorous army is difficult to deal with.
The two great generals in Liaodong were Xima and Li from the east. It has been like thunder for a long time. It was impossible for Huang Taiji not to know. It's just that the Ma family has been transferred away for decades, and no one has returned to Liaodong for several generations. So much so that everyone has somewhat forgotten about it.
The Ma family is Huihui, and was sent to the northwest by the imperial court in recent decades. There are many loopholes there, making it easy to carry out work. Huang Taiji felt a little regretful. When the ancestor of the Li family, Li Chengliang, was alive, they did not dare to rebel. This shows the deterrent power of the Li family in Liaodong.
Why did he underestimate the enemy when he arrived at the Ma family, which was as famous as the Li family?
If Daishan and Amin are allowed to fight, their reputation can be weakened. It was them who made a fool of themselves at this time. But now, it's a good thing that Brother Fourteen is willing to share his worries. At least I can take out the positive yellow flag with dignity.
If we continue to fight like this, the Zhenghuang flag will be disabled.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he had already seen what Dorgon meant.
The three brothers wanted to defect to themselves in this way. Although all four Baylors suppressed the three brothers. However, if we can pull them to fight Daishan and Amin at this time. But a great thing.
The two white flags currently worn by the Dorgon brothers are the two yellow flags originally led by Nurhachi himself. It used to be the flag with the most number of cows. Later, Huang Taiji came to power and took advantage of the conflict between the four Baylors not to break out to force a flag change.
The Dorgon brothers are still young, so they dare to fight against the four Baylors. I had to knock out my front teeth and swallow it in my stomach. He pinched his nose and admitted. As a result, the two yellow flags turned into two white flags. The two white flags turned into two yellow flags. Their territory, which was the best and richest, was taken away and replaced with the worst land.
Obviously, after several attacks, they seized the land, seized the cattle records, and killed their best friends. After a set of combination punches, they were finally frightened out of their wits.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and finally thought of coming to seek refuge with him.
After all, their brothers still hold the two white flags, which can be regarded as taking refuge with guns. With this bargaining chip, you can sell it at a good price. They also understand that there is only one good opportunity left between the four Baylors to take away the two white flags. They are at the end of their rope.
But Huang Taiji couldn't agree too readily, if he agreed too easily. This is not what Huang Taiji gave
A gift from their three brothers. Give them a way out. Instead, he turned to begging for the three brothers.
"Huh, Fourteenth Brother, it's not because I look down on you. You are so young this year, yet you dare to boast about Haikou and help relieve my worries. You two are short of food and clothing, can you do it?" Huang Taiji said contemptuously.
Dorgon's face turned red and then white, and he could only listen. Because it's true.
He is indeed young, unlike the four Baylors who have been in battle for a long time and have rich experience. War is something that cannot be false at all. Whether you can do it or not will be known as soon as the fight begins.
He is also familiar with "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and knows that war is a place of life and death, a matter of survival. Military defeat is no small matter. Although he made a contribution in defeating Lin Dan Khan last year. But after all, his qualifications were too low, and he had no way to defend himself when others questioned him.
In the spring of the second year of Tiancong (the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, 1628), Dorgon followed Huang Taiji into the Chahar tribe of Mongolia. Dorgon had military exploits and defeated the enemy in Aomuleng. In March, Huang Taiji gave him the nickname "Mergen Dai Qing" (meaning wise commander).
At the end of the same month, Azig was convicted, and Huang Taiji arranged for Dorgon to be the flag owner of the white flag.
Dorgon knelt down with a bang, kowtowed and begged: "My brother has devoted himself to studying military books and tactics, and has figured out the wonders of the Great Khan's military tactics. Now I feel that I have achieved some success. Please give me and the two white flags a chance."
Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes again, two white flags, hum, this is a reminder to me. I'll take refuge with you with a gun. If you don't want me, I'll find another job.
How dare Huang Taiji let him go to Daishan or Amin. Now that he is newly defeated, those who are interested may be ready to take action again. At this time, whoever supports the two white flags will gain the advantage.
Huang Taiji's fine eyes were gleaming, and he said slowly: "There are no fathers and sons in the army, let alone brothers. Fourteenth brother, you have to think clearly. If you cannot complete the task, you will have to engage in military law. I will only give you ten days. You think about it carefully."
The corners of Dorgon's mouth twitched. At this time, he needed a victory more than Huang Taiji. Only when others are helpless can he show himself and increase his prestige among the Eight Banners. After all, at this time, the Eight Banners was on the rise. Banner people admire heroes.
As long as he was recognized by the Eight Banners and gained prestige, countless people would want to join him. After all, people are like the shadow of a famous tree. When he was strong enough, Huang Taiji didn't dare to take their chances anymore.
Before coming, Duduo asked him, do you have a way to capture Pinghu Fort?
Dorgon nodded.
Duduo asked him if he planned to give advice to Huang Taiji.
Dorgon shook his head and said: "What's the use of giving advice? It's not certain whether people will listen to you or not, and you won't have much credit for success. I plan to ask for a fight. If we take this city with two white flags, it will definitely cause a stir in the Eight Banners. .At that time, our reputation will rise."
Dorgon slowly raised his head, looked into Huang Taiji's eyes, and said word by word: "Five days, give me five days. If you cannot conquer this city, I am willing to be punished by the Great Khan."
Huang Taiji smiled and pushed him, it was just right to this extent.
If he wins, it is his own victory. Glory to Him. If it fails, take the opportunity to steal some Niulu from the two white flags. It can not only continue to weaken the Dorgon brothers, but also strengthen its own power. Isn't it beautiful?
