Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 464 Divide the troops and ambush

For Li Yan's proposal, Zhu Dadian, Ma Ke and others all agreed.

It is still unknown whether Ai Nengqi and Ma Bao can catch up and intercept the important officials of the Qing court. Then, if they can try their best to annihilate the defeated Qing captives from Henan and Shandong, it will be easier to send troops out of the customs to completely destroy the Qing captives in the future.

As for whether the troops under Huang Degong and Yang Zhan's command are sufficient, all the ministers of the Military Affairs Council think that there is no problem.

Today, Huang Degong only dispatched three towns of garrison troops. Under his command, he still has the second and fifth towns of the imperial guards, as well as No. 11 and No. 13 towns of the border guards.

In addition, there is the fourth town of the border defense army led by Yang Zhan, and the No.12 town of the border defense army led by Liu Fangliang.

The troops and horses of the six towns, with two towns stationed in the capital and nearby prefectures and counties, sent two towns to Yanqing Prefecture and Miyunwei to support Ainengqi and Ma Bao, and sent two towns to take Baoan Prefecture and Xuanfu Town, which is completely sufficient.

After the discussion, the Military Affairs Council followed this discussion and issued military orders to Huang Degong and Yang Zhan...

Miyun.

October was originally a season of crisp autumn, but because of the Little Ice Age, the weather was already a bit cold.

Seven-year-old Fulin sat in the bumpy carriage, and as the cold wind poured into the car through the cracks in the door curtain, he couldn't help shivering, shrank into Bumbutai's arms, and said, "Mother, it's so cold. "

Bumbutai picked up a fur cloak and put it on him, saying: "When you rest for a while, drink some hot soup and you won't be cold."

Fulin raised his head and asked, "Mother Huang, when can I rest? My butt hurts."

The team started walking at dawn this morning, and had already reached the west of the sun. Bumbutai felt that it was time to stop and rest.

After all, many of the people in the team were old and weak, women and children, and they couldn't stand the bumpy journey for too long.

So she sent someone to ask Dorgon.

Unexpectedly, Dorgon came over in person and boarded the carriage.

Dorgon didn't shy away from Fulin, and since there wasn't much space in the carriage, he sat down next to Bumbutai, with his knees next to his.

Fulin already understood a lot of things, but he frowned when he saw this, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The two adults didn't care about Fulin's thoughts at all.

Dorgon said: "Not far ahead is Miyun County, we can rest there."

"This walk is a day, how can the elderly and children bear it?" Bumbutai felt that the journey was too urgent.

Some TV series in later generations actually performed Bumbutai too well.

It cannot be denied that Bumbutai is indeed politically scheming and cunning, but other aspects are very average, and even have many shortcomings-this is determined by his background.

She was originally an aristocratic woman from the Horqin tribe in the grassland, and she married Huang Taiji as a side Fujin at the age of 13.Since then, except for some imperial conspiracies and political struggles, I have never experienced other ups and downs.

In terms of traveling long distances, whether she married Huang Taiji from Horqinyuan, or moved to the capital from outside the customs last year, it was all carried out in a rather relaxed environment with many servants serving her.

Where have you ever experienced such a rush to escape for your life?
So, don't say that Fulin finds it hard, even she can't stand it.

Their large team either rode horses or rode carts, and spent the whole day on the road for three consecutive days. She really didn't think the Ming army could catch up—it all means that the army came from the sea, so there shouldn't be many cavalry, right? …

If the Ming army were all infantry, it would be even more difficult to catch up with them.

Why go in such a hurry?
Dorgon explained: "It is because there are many old people and children in the team that we have to go faster, otherwise it will be dangerous for the Ming army to catch up."

In fact, Dorgon would not allow the team of the old man and the child to face the Ming army, because the team would easily collapse and everything would be over.

So before that, he would separate the army from the old and weak teams—if the Ming army is weak, let the army deal with the Ming army; if the Ming army is too strong, they can only discard the old, weak, women and children's team.

Of course, he will try his best to bring Fulin and Bumbutai with him, after all, Fulin is still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

But Dorgon would never tell Bumbutai these words.

"We escaped from the capital, what about King Ying, King Su, and Shanxi?" Bumbutai asked again.

Dorgon forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, on the day I received the news that the Ming army landed in Tianjin, I will send someone to inform them to withdraw their troops and let them enter the grassland from Shanxi to return to Liaodong."

siluke.
"That's good." Bumbutai was a little relieved.

She also knows that the army is the basis for maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty.If there is no army, even if these people escape outside the customs, life will not be easy.

Dorgon patted Bumbutai's hand and said, "Stop thinking about it, I'll go down first."

"Ah."

Before getting out of the car, Dorgon noticed Fulin's frown and his displeased expression, and couldn't help smiling.

After getting out of the car, the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

It's not because of Fulin's hostility, but because he knows that the Qing Dynasty is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Although he had immediately sent people to send letters to the generals in Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi asking them to withdraw their troops, it was unknown whether they would be able to withdraw.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling—since the Ming army dared to boldly land from Tianjin and take the capital directly, they might have gained considerable advantages in the battlefields of Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi.

If so, it will be even more difficult for the Eight Banners Army to withdraw.

The next day.

Dorgon, who had rested overnight in Miyun County, set off at dawn again, and when it was almost noon, a sentinel came up behind him to report urgently.

"My lord, a group of Ming army cavalry is chasing after me!"

Dorgon and Daishan looked at each other, then asked in a deep voice, "How many are there?"

The sentinel replied: "There should be about [-] riders."

Daishan asked, "How long do you think it will take for them to catch up with us?"

The sentry cavalry looked at the speed of the team next to them, and said, "It will take a quarter of an hour or two to catch up."

Hearing this, Dorgon and Dai Shan frowned.

Immediately, Dorgon said: "It's only [-] cavalry before. If we distribute [-] cavalry, we should be able to eat them."

When Dorgon and others left the capital, there were nearly [-] soldiers and horses of various types. Although many of them were Manchu men, young and old, who were forcibly conscripted into the army, there were also four to five thousand genuine Eight Banners Manchuria.

These four or five thousand genuine Eight Banners Manchuria can all be used as cavalry.

Dai Shan nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I will lead the cavalry, you lead the large team and continue to move forward."

The Qing Dynasty was at such a critical juncture, and Daishan's family was also in the big team. Dorgon was not worried that he would have any bad thoughts when he led three thousand cavalry, so he nodded in agreement immediately.

···
Daishan took three thousand cavalrymen and ran back a few miles to the way he came. He found a suitable place for the cavalry to ambush, then stopped, and let the cavalry under his command divide into three groups to ambush.

Daishan was born in 1583 and is already 62 years old, which is already an old age among Manchurians today.

He fought with Nurhachi when he was a teenager, and has experienced countless battles for decades.

In recent years, although due to old age and the oppression of Huang Taiji and Dorgon, he no longer leads the army at the front line, it does not mean that he has become incompetent.

In fact, as he got older, his use of troops became more sophisticated.

Just like this time, even though he led the Eight Banners Manchurian cavalry twice as large as the Ming army, he still chose to ambush.

After Daishan and others lay in wait for a quarter of an hour, there was smoke and dust rising on the way.

Daishan took a look through the binoculars and couldn't help frowning, because there were only five or six hundred riders coming.

He looked back again, and sure enough, he found two other puffs of smoke and dust, both of similar size, advancing in a sideways shape with the previous cavalry, instead of advancing in a straight line along the path they passed by.
