Chapter 762 Raising the prestige of others and destroying one's own morale

After listening to Dorgon's arrangement for the siege of Jinzhou, everyone in the imperial tent nodded their heads one after another. The king of Anping County is Du Du. Jinzhou.

The owner of the Zhenghong Banner is Daishan, the Prince of Li. Gushan Ezhen Shuotuo is the second son of Daishan. Uncle Fourteen got closer and closer.

They were used as the main force of the siege of Jin, and they were stationed outside Jinzhou City to monitor and besiege Zu Dashou. Basically, they would not participate in the battle against the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the remaining banner men of their Second Banner, together with some soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, were still stationed in Yizhou, where they were responsible for monitoring the [-] follow-up soldiers to garrison and transport them, and also meant to protect the rear of the army.

Prince Rui Dorgon continued: "In addition to our garrison at Shimen Mountain, we also have garrisons at Huangtu Ridge, Zijing Mountain, and Mopan Mountain to the east of Songshan Fort. Shengbao and other castles are now also occupied by our army.

The soldiers and horses stationed in the above places include the Manchurian Eight Banners Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Xianglan Banner. There are also soldiers from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Banner of the Han Army, as well as the Mongolian and Korean troops from the outer kingdoms. In one part, there are 7 bannermen, 8000 inner armor soldiers, and [-] handymen Ahayo. These soldiers and horses are mainly used to confront the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasties. "

He went on to say: "The rest still have [-] soldiers from various banners, the Han army, and the Korean army, more than [-] internal armor soldiers, and more than [-] Aha miscellaneous servants. They are stationed by the Daughter River in the southwest of Jinzhou. Everywhere, you can also take the opportunity to assault the rear of the southern army, attack Xingshan, and cut off the Ming army's food road."

When Dorgon replied, he had been standing in front of the big map, pointing and introducing, and finally said worriedly: "However, according to the report from the sentry cavalry, the Southern Army is in Wudaoling, Changling Mountain and other places. Big construction.

Its protection of the back road is very strict. Our army wants to cut off its back road and seize its food, grass and supplies. I am afraid it is not optimistic! "

He then sighed again: "Hong Chengchou, the governor of the Southern Dynasty, has always been cautious, and the strength of the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty seems to have improved a lot compared to previous years. Our army fought several times with the reinforcements of the Southern Dynasty, and even set up ambushes several times, such as setting up an ambush in Xingshan, and setting up an ambush in Xingshan. Songshan set up an ambush, but failed to achieve any results.

The previous time when the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasties first arrived at Songshan, they dared to storm our camps and fought ferociously. Although tens of thousands of southern troops were killed in this battle, our warriors also suffered tens of thousands of casualties.

Since then, our army was weaker than the southern army, so we had to shrink the defense line and hold the barracks with deep trenches, waiting for the emperor to come and command in person.

In short, this time the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasties were extremely powerful, and our army really needed to be cautious in the battle of Jinzhou. "

All the kings, officials and generals in the imperial tent heard Dorgon's words, all of them looked worried. This battle seems to be really difficult to fight!

In this battle of Jinzhou, the Qing Dynasty came with all its national strength, and only a few old and weak soldiers remained behind in the country. If one is not careful and the battle is really defeated, it will be a disaster for the country.

Calculated according to the establishment of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty, the smallest unit is Niulu, and every 200 to 300 people are compiled into a Niulu, and the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies.

Of course, this does not mean that there are two or 300 people for one Niulu, but that each household produces a strong man. According to the ancient saying, "Ding" generally refers to adult men between the ages of 16 and 60.

Generally speaking, there are several people in a family, and the number of men in it varies, sometimes two or three, sometimes five or six, depending on the fertility of the men in each household.

Therefore, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the population of each Niulu unit was about [-] to [-] households, generally ranging from [-] to [-] people.

In the Qing Dynasty, those who could barely be counted as soldiers were called bannermen, and they were divided into armored bannermen and unarmored bannermen.

For the time being, those who are not counted as soldiers are called "Yu Ding" or "idle". They can also follow in the battle. As a kind of follower, their status is higher than that of slaves. If they have military exploits, they will also be rewarded. You can even join the flag directly as a soldier.

Therefore, the two or three hundred bannermen of every Niulu in the Qing Dynasty are counted as soldiers. Whether they can wear armor or not depends on the ability of each soldier.

However, from the age of ten, men in the Qing Dynasty have to participate in hunting, practice fighting and shooting skills, and take part in the assessment every three years. The military salary will also be distributed to armor and ordnance.

Then, if you make meritorious service in the battle, or continue to pass the assessment, you can be promoted to vest cavalry, or even to Bala soldiers and so on.

In fact, among the various cattle records, the proportion of armored soldiers is still very high. After all, they are bannermen and enter the camp as soldiers when they become adults. It would be too embarrassing not to be qualified to wear armor, in the atmosphere of martial arts around.

It’s just that in this battle of Jinzhou, almost all the bannermen recorded by Zhu Niu in the banners went to battle, and many Yuding were also recruited to join the army. If the battle is not urgent, they may be able to do auxiliary work later, assisting in chasing and fleeing the enemy. But if the battle gets tight, they will also rush forward to fight for their lives.

In addition, there are also a large number of Han slaves who were plundered by the Qing army in these years when they entered the bandits, and they were also driven to the front line of Jinzhou with the army to serve as handymen. It can be said that the young and strong in the Qing Dynasty have been wiped out.

If this battle is defeated, it will indeed be a catastrophe for the Qing Dynasty, and there is a great danger of destroying the country!
Even if the Ming Dynasty was weakened and unable to attack Liaodong, if the Qing Dynasty really lost in this battle, it would not only suffer heavy losses, but would also be unable to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty to plunder in order to restore its vitality.

At that time, I am afraid that the prestige that Huang Taiji has built up over the years will definitely disappear, and he will no longer be able to suppress those eager to move inside the Qing Dynasty. Be as humble as you are now.

Here, after listening to Dorgon's introduction, Huang Taiji sat high on the throne and nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Dorgon.

Dorgon has always been cautious in dealing with the world, and he is also calm. There are indeed no major flaws in his arrangement. He has just inspected Shimen Mountain and Huangtu Ridge, and he can't find any obvious faults.

"Prince Rui is indeed a seasoned seeker of the country, and deserves my trust."

Huang Taiji meditated in his heart, but did not say it out loud. Although Dorgon has many advantages and is indeed a useful talent, he also knows that Dorgon is really cunning and insidious. He has not forgotten in his heart that he forced his old man to death. Concubine Nu Abahai.

However, Huang Taiji is very confident, he believes that he can still handle this brave and wise fourteenth brother.

In fact, it is true. In front of Huang Taiji, even if Dorgon is a tiger, he has to lie down;

But the world is always unpredictable, who knows the surprise and surprise, which one will come first?
I only heard Huang Taiji say: "Prince Rui has personally experienced the battle, and made decisions among thousands of people. With this arrangement, he is not alarmed in times of adversity, and his shoulders are huge and he is not chaotic. I am deeply gratified."

He went on to say: "Ministers, let's talk about it. The Southern Army is powerful. What are your thoughts on how to fight against it?"

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Prince He Shuosu, Hauge, didn't take Dorgon's words seriously, and he came out of the crowd and said, "The Nanmanzi is indeed much stronger than before, but so what?
Under my Qing cavalry, they have 20, [-], isn't it the same as the result of a great defeat, and now my reinforcements are gathering, I can take advantage of this determination to defeat the Southern Governor's army in one fell swoop, Jinzhou is an isolated city, and there is no rescue outside. If there is a shortage of food and grass, don't you let me get what I want.

What Prince Rui said was a bit too depressing, it only increased the prestige of others, but destroyed the morale of one's own family! "

Hauge was originally brave and good at fighting. He has been with Huang Taiji since he was a child and has experienced wars. He has made extensive military exploits. The favor of him, the Zhenglan Banner under his command is quite powerful, and there are also a group of young generals who support him.

He has always been at odds with Prince Rui Dorgon. Dorgon is smart, cunning, wise, and decisive. His ability is far from comparable to that of Hauge. , It made him very angry.

In the past few years, Huang Taiji may have done it on purpose. He not only reused Dorgon, but also seized the opportunity to deal with him.

It is precisely because of Huang Taiji's repeated suppression that Dorgon's aura has become much lower than usual. After one after another, Hauge has also become more powerful. He has quietly risen among the princes and ministers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and enjoys a high reputation. The reputation of Huang Taiji was able to control the household department and became Huang Taiji's right-hand man who could be trusted and relied on.

Since Hauge has been in the army, he has had few defeats, and every time he encounters the Ming army, he is almost defeated at the touch of a finger, so he has developed a temper that has always looked down on the Ming army.

Now he admits in his heart that the Ming reinforcements outside Songshan City are indeed different from the past, but after hearing Dorgon's words just now, he still couldn't hold back, and subconsciously opened his mouth to refute Dorgon .

Seeing his arrogance, Dorgon just smiled slightly, he didn't even bother to argue with Haoge's generation for a moment.

However, Dorgon didn't open his mouth to argue with him, but Huang Taiji's face darkened, and he scolded: "Prince Rui is dedicated to serving the country, and what he said and said are all for the sake of my Qing Dynasty.

How could Prince Su say such rude words, why not hurry up and apologize to Prince Rui! "

Hauge was surprised when he heard the words, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, go."

Although he was completely unwilling in his heart, but his father, the emperor, Lao Tzu had spoken, and he didn't dare to pretend to be under the watchful eyes of everyone. He hurriedly turned around and apologized to Dorgon, but he paid the gift. Afterwards, there was still a look of indifference on his face.

Huang Taiji doted on his eldest son Hauge. Although he didn't say it, his ultimate goal should be to train Hauge as his heir, especially the son of Hai Lanzhu, the concubine of Guan Sui Palace who he loves the most. After the premature death.

After Huang Taiji took over the position of Empress Jin Dahan, he repeatedly killed his two elder brothers Amin and Mang Gurtai, and kept wearing all kinds of small shoes for the banner owners Baylor of each banner. Not all for Hauge.

Although he was also attacking the power of the banner owners in the Qing Dynasty and further strengthening the centralization of power, the fundamental core was to pass the throne to his sons in the future, not to be killed by these younger brothers after his death. They took the throne.

After all, at this time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet been fully Sinicized, nor had the reform of the feudal system been truly completed. The "brothers end up with brothers" of the fishing and hunting peoples was still very popular. For example, the custom of "receiving marriages" was still very popular. Confucian principles and laws have not yet prevailed among the Manchus in Liaodong.

In this way, let alone the system of succession to the throne of "establishing a son to be a long-term man, not a virtuous one, and making a son a noble man, not a long-term man".

Throughout his life, Huang Taiji has been working hard to promote the reform of the feudal system. He reused Han officials and generals, vigorously abused the aristocratic forces within the Qing Dynasty, and focused on centralizing power. Isn't it for the sake of successfully passing on the position of emperor to himself after a hundred years? Son?

At this time, Huang Taiji also saw Hauge's indifferent expression, he frowned slightly, and decided to skip it and not mention his rudeness to Dorgon again.

Azige, the King of Wuying County standing beside him, clearly expressed his support for Haoge's words just now. Ge is very friendly.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty is not monolithic. They are also full of factions, and there are mountains one after another. It's just that Huang Taiji is too smart and cruel, and the other mountains have to revolve around him.

For example, now, under the instruction of Huang Taiji, Haoge desperately wins over Dorgon's elder brother Azige. He makes full use of the contradiction created by Huang Taiji to successfully divide the brotherhood between Azige and Dorgon.

Azig himself is a ruthless master. He fights fiercely, but he is a born straight-hearted and reckless man who knows nothing about politics.

He has always been dissatisfied with his younger brother, Dorgon, who was born to his mother, replacing him as the owner of the Zhengbai Banner. It was under such circumstances that Hauge kept showing favor to him, and he immediately took refuge in the past.

In addition, Hauge's usual words, as well as his mannerisms, also suit Azig's appetite, so he just sided with Hauge.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the two thick-lined idiots below, and could only sigh secretly in his heart, today is different from the past!

If they continue to take it lightly as before, the elite warriors of the Qing Dynasty and the future of the Qing Dynasty may be destroyed under the city of Jinzhou.

It's okay for Azig, if he has been like this all the time, he will save himself some worries!
But Hauge is his own son after all, when will he truly mature?
With all my painstaking efforts, will the future be in vain...
