However, the old, weak, women and children were not killed, and only enough food was left for them for about half a month. All other things were taken away or burned if they could not be taken away.
The only reason for doing this is to show the civilization of the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, in half a month, the cavalry of their tribe will be back. When facing the old, weak, women and children of your own tribe, you have to take care of them and feed them. They have a headache.
In addition, it can also delay the time for the returning tribal cavalry to catch up with the Ming army, and reduce the number of troops they have to chase the Ming army. There are still a lot of problems to follow, let them cry to their master.
As for the Ming army, it was back to the old days. Of the cattle, horses and sheep in each camp, only the horses were kept and not killed. All the cattle and sheep were killed, and if they couldn't finish the food, they would eat it from the enemy. They would eat meat in large chunks and drink goat's milk from large bowls. However, the Ming army would not stay in one camp for too long. They would quickly move and continue to attack the next camp.
Although some fish that slipped through the net would tip off the information, the transfer of the camp was not an easy task. No matter how easy it was for the nomads to leave, it would still take several days to prepare, and the move would also be slow.
Therefore, as long as it is within the attack range of the Ming army, basically no camp can escape.
While the Ming army was attacking the Kulun and Horqin tribes, the fish that had slipped through the net of these two tribes naturally rushed to the pass and went to Liaodong to report the news: their lair had been taken away!
However, the cavalry of the Jianlu and Mongolian tribes have already spread out. Even if the fish that slips through the net rushes to report the news as fast as possible, it will not be able to turn around in a short time.
On the Shengjing side, Daishan is still in charge.
On this day, Dorgon finally rushed back with his army. For the first time, he didn't even bother to rest, and immediately broke into the Chongzheng Hall. He didn't even bother to salute the young emperor and the queen mother. When he saw Daishan taking a nap there, he Immediately shouted loudly: "How is the war in Liaodong? Do you have the latest battle report?"
Worried about the situation in Liaodong, Dorgon rushed back day and night as quickly as possible. After arriving near Shengjing, he heard that the cavalry in the grassland had returned for reinforcements. However, naturally we still have to come to Chongzheng Hall to ask about the latest battle situation.
Looking at Dorgon who was tired from the journey, Daishan reluctantly cheered up, nodded and said: "Cavalry has been dispatched to all the war locations. They are all goshawks and rabbits. We, the Qing and Mongolian coalition forces, With an absolute advantage, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not add more troops, the Qing Dynasty will definitely win this war!"
Bumbutai was a little dissatisfied with Dorgon's rudeness. But when he saw Dorgon's fatigue and anxiety, thinking that this was for the sake of her son's world, he was relieved, and immediately said with a smile: "Prince Rui, there is no need to worry, Prince Li is in charge, the Ming army will definitely lose this battle." !”
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Dorgon did not look relieved. Instead, he continued to frown. He ignored Bumbutai, who was an amateur in military matters. He stared at Daishan and asked again: " I believe you also know how powerful the Ming Emperor is. If the Qing cavalry returns to support, then the Ming Emperor will definitely have a backup plan. Aren’t you worried? Are you still napping here? "
Hearing this, Daishan immediately remembered the scene when he met the Ming Emperor in Jinzhou. To be honest, he would never forget that shameful scene until his death.
When asked by Dorgon, he frowned and said: "Any conspiracy and trick are useless in the face of absolute strength. This time, the Qing and Mongolian cavalry troops totaled nearly 90,000 cavalry. Everywhere The Qing Dynasty is at an absolute advantage, so even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has any conspiracies, I’m afraid they won’t be of much use!”
Hearing him speak a little unconfidently, Dorgon became anxious and said sternly: "Really? Didn't the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty calculate that our Qing cavalry would come back for reinforcements? Also, let me ask you, when you made the decision When a general pulls a trick, who knows the details? You can't say that it's just a coincidence that the Ming army suddenly attacked while our Qing cavalry troops were being transferred away from Liaodong, right?"
Hearing that Dorgon was also so suspicious, Daishan couldn't help but rub his head and said with a headache: "Only the people in Chongzheng Hall knew about this matter. I told you at that time that it must be kept secret. I also asked afterward, and no one leaked it to the public. However, what you said may not be unreasonable. If this is a coincidence, it seems too coincidental, right?"
Seeing how confused he looked, Dorgon was so angry that he pointed at Daishan's nose and shouted loudly: "Military and national affairs are related to the safety of our Qing Dynasty. Is this just a guess? Are you old and confused? ?”
Dorgon will naturally not give face to Daishan now. Back then, when Huang Taiji forced his own mother to death, Daishan helped. And in supporting Huang Taiji's son to become emperor, it was Daishan who made great efforts. With all these things, I have some opinions in my heart.
"Wow...wuwuwu..."
Unexpectedly, Dorgon's roar and ferocious expression frightened the idle little emperor, and he immediately started crying.
When the guard commander Ao Bai saw it, he immediately became angry. He immediately took two steps forward with the handle of the sword in his hand, stared at Dorgon and shouted sternly: "Prince Rui, this is the Chongzheng Palace, not the place for His Highness to roar!"
Regardless of whether Dorgon was willing or not, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the little emperor now, not him. Therefore, he had to confess to the little emperor, but then he immediately turned his head and stared at Daishan. Obviously, he still wants to continue what he said just now.
Seeing this, Daishan asked helplessly: "What do you want?"
Although he was scolded as an old fool, it was indeed related to the safety of the Qing Dynasty, so he didn't care about being scolded at this time.
After hearing this, Dorgon tried his best to suppress his voice, but still said with a very serious expression: "Everyone who was present that day must be investigated and verified. I don't believe it. If there is a mole, it will not be found out. "
Bumbutai was naturally listening to their conversation carefully, knowing that what Dorgon said was very reasonable. If there were people from the Ming Dynasty present that day, it would have been too dangerous. Thinking like this, she immediately expressed her support: "Prince Rui's words make sense! In this case, let's leave this matter to Prince Rui. Since you were not around that day, there is no need to verify it!"
This is also a ruthless person. For the sake of her son's country and the country, she has put all the princes like Daishan under suspicion. The implication is that even they have to verify it.
After hearing this, Daishan understood the meaning of her words and couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother would not let him go. Thanks to him supporting her son's succession to the throne, he felt a bit like a wolf with white eyes.
If Daishan knew that it was Bumu Butai who finally made Huang Taiji angry to death, he would understand that when a woman becomes ruthless, sometimes even she will be afraid of herself!
Daishan felt a little unhappy, but Dorgon was a little surprised. He couldn't help but glance at Bumbutai, and immediately felt more pleasing to the eye. He saluted Bumbutai respectfully and said, "I obey the order!"
After hearing this, Bumbutai showed a smile and asked Dorgon: "Prince Shiranui's northern expedition to the Sauron tribe, what was the harvest?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, I have captured nearly four thousand young men this time. As long as they are treated as expected, they will definitely become the elites of our Qing Dynasty." After hearing this, Dorgon replied quickly. As for that strange and ferocious tribe, he thought for a while and didn't say anything. He would wait until the Qing Dynasty stabilized!
Upon hearing this, Bumbutai was very happy and praised Dorgon again. In this Chongzheng Hall, it seemed that it was just the two of them for a moment.
However, Dorgon still remembered the matter and took the initiative to change the topic and asked Daishan about the details of the war, especially the news about the Ming Emperor.
It was not that he wanted to embarrass Daishan and continued to ask this topic, but that he was captured alive by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Although he was finally released, this was his lifelong shame, engraved in his bones, and towards Emperor Chongzhen. Very afraid.
Now Bumbutai has made it clear that he wants Dorgon to take the lead. To verify the situation of the day, Daishan can only go one step at a time and detail the plan for the day and the subsequent execution. Said it again.
Dorgon listened very attentively. As he listened, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face became more and more ugly.
Seeing him like this, Bumbutai couldn't help but become a little worried, and quickly asked: "Prince Rui, what did you think of?"
Dorgon raised his head and glanced at her, knowing that if he wanted to be superior to other princes, this woman was the key, so he saluted and replied: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has not appeared for such a big war. Wei Chen is really worried..."
Originally, Daishan had lost his competitive spirit, but now he was questioned repeatedly. Even Bumbutai, who became the Queen Mother under his support, favored Dorgon, which made him very unhappy. Shi You seemed to be questioning him, so he said, "Why didn't you show up? The Imperial Forest Army of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already captured Gaizhou and is attacking Haizhou."
He said this in a very bad tone, almost saying outright, are you deaf or blind? I have said this several times.
Unexpectedly, when Dorgon heard this, he immediately turned around and stared at him sternly and asked: "What about the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Did he show up? Also, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty's elite guard army has almost 50,000 troops. Gaizhou Are there 50,000 troops who landed there? If I guessed correctly, there is still no news about the hussar battalion in the Imperial Forest Army of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Upon hearing this, Daishan suddenly felt a little stupid. When Jinzhou fell, there was no hussar camp, which made him subconsciously ignore the hussar camp. Unlike Dorgon, after the Battle of Tashan, it was a bluff by the Hussars. As a result, North Korea's Huang Taiji had to abandon Pyongyang and hurriedly returned to Liaodong to aid.
Daishan's confidence was suddenly low, but he still tried to explain: "Over in Gaizhou, the Ming army has been increasing its troops. Maybe...maybe they will arrive later?"
Bumubutai saw that the old man lacked momentum and the strong man was aggressive. Her heart immediately went to Dorgon. She felt that Dorgon must be right. She couldn't help but become anxious and hurriedly Asked Dorgon: "What Prince Rui means is that the emperor of our country has any other conspiracies that cannot be accomplished?"
Dorgon had already thought of a possibility and immediately nodded and said: "Exactly..."
Just as he was saying this, before he had time to express his thoughts, he heard rapid footsteps outside the palace, and at the same time, the servant's sharp shout came: "Report, urgent report from Prince Su..."
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the door of the palace. Hauge led more than 30,000 cavalry to support Haizhou and fight the main force of the Ming army. When there was news there, they naturally dropped everything immediately and wanted to know the result.
Dorgon was in charge of Chongzheng Hall at this time, so he quickly walked a few steps toward the entrance of the hall, eager to get the urgent report.
Stepping into the palace, the chamberlain handed over an urgent report and shouted sharply: "Master is very happy, Prince Su has won a great victory..."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Chongzheng Hall breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile finally appeared on their faces. Even Daishan, who was questioned just now, is the same.
Even Bumbutai subconsciously felt a little more charming and said softly to Dorgon: "Prince Rui might as well read the good news, but I have never heard the good news about the Ming Dynasty with my own ears!"
"The minister obeys the order!" Dorgon, who was unpacking the emergency report, heard this. Although he had a little doubt in his heart, because it was different from what he thought, it was a good thing after all, so he answered and was ready to start reading.
However, as his eyes glanced at the good news in his hand, he suddenly became silent and his face became a little ugly. As soon as these people in the hall saw it, they knew that the situation seemed to have changed.
At this time, Bumubutai lost his composure and quickly asked: "Prince Rui, what is written on it?"
Dorgon had already read ten lines at a glance, and shouted angrily: "What good news? Do you want to put money on your face? The Ming army had already taken the initiative to retreat to Gaizhou before he arrived. Now it has occupied Gaizhou , He Haoge can’t win Gaizhou, how can he expect any good news?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was a little surprised. You must know that in the past, these Ming armies in Gaizhou were very aggressive. They continued to increase their troops from the sea and consumed astronomical amounts of ammunition. Just like this, why did they suddenly retreat from Haizhou? Or Before Hauge arrives with reinforcements?
Thinking of this, Daishan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that the Ming army in Gaizhou had learned the news in advance and knew that more than 30,000 cavalry troops were coming to aid the Qing Dynasty. The Ming army could not resist, so they withdrew, right?
He thought so, and so did everyone else in the palace. After Dorgon learned the news from Haizhou, his suspicions were confirmed.
When he was about to say this, there was another rush of footsteps outside the palace, and two chamberlains shouted victory.
However, there had been a so-called "great victory", and the people in the palace had become somewhat immune and did not show the joy as before.
As expected, the two great victories came from Yue Tuo and Duo Duo.
