I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 415 The Manchus withdraw their troops
Mongolia's Horqin tribe asked to surrender. This was an unexpected surprise!

The dragoons of the Ming Army were just the vanguard and were not too far away from the main force. Yang Gong and Yu Kecheng had already met and received Orjitu together in Xiacangdian Town.

Both sides only brought a few cavalry, but the Ming cavalry had muskets and grenade hammers from the grenadiers.

Orjitu was very straightforward. When he saw Yang Gong and Yu Kecheng face to face, he immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground, kowtow: "Olejitu, Prince of Tushiyetu (Tuxietu) of the Horqin Tribe of the Zhelim League, kowtow. Great tomorrow, General!"

Yang Gong completely lost the harshness and vulgarity of the past: "Your Highness, please get up quickly!"

After saying that, he directly helped Orjitu up with his own hands, and then asked with concern: "Has His Royal Highness suffered in the Manchus?"

Is not this nonsensical?

Not to mention the information returned from the detailed work, Yang Gong was not completely unaware of the turmoil between the Manchus and the Mongols.

The most important thing is that since ancient times, we have only heard of the Great Khan in Mongolia. Who is this prince?
Orjitu indeed said: "My ancestors followed Lin Dan Khan to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At that time, he was the Minister of Horqin Si. Later, he was forced to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At first, he was named Tushiyetu (Tuxietu) Khan, but soon He was quickly demoted to Jinong (Deputy Khan), and then to Prince. He also split our Horqin Six Banners, and promoted the Horqin nobles who were close to them in Manchuria!"

Before Yang Gong could speak, Yu Kecheng who was standing by him cursed: "The Manchu Tatars are really treacherous!"

What is treachery is nothing more than profit.

From Tush Yetu Khan, to Jinong, and then to the prince, he split the Six Banners and promoted his cronies.

This is almost equivalent to the Mongolian version of the Tweeting Order!

Horqin did follow Chahar at first, but it was not until he was severely beaten by Nurhaci that Horqin saw that the situation was not good, and then he chose to turn to the Manchus.

Horqin's heir minister Oba was named Tush Yetu Khan, and he legitimately commanded the entire Horqin tribe, completely falling out with Lin Dan Khan.However, when Oba died and his eldest son Badali succeeded to the throne, Huang Taiji quickly demoted his Khan position to Jinong.When Huang Taiji became emperor, he was demoted to Prince Zasak, split the Horqin tribe into six banners, and promoted his brothers and uncles.

The Zhelim League was created when Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor. It also merged the three tribes and four banners of Zha Laite, Durbot, and Guerros, and held an alliance in Zhelim every three years.

No matter from any angle, he went too far, even more cruel than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.It's not even cutting the flesh with a dull knife, it's just a slash.

The news of Eljitu's surrender to the Ming army quickly spread back to Zunhua, and Yinhu and Yinqi who were in Zunhua were greatly shocked.

After hearing the news, Suzhu Ketu immediately found Bushan and said, "Let's go too!"

Bushan said: "Great Khan, if you can fight back in front of the battle and help the Han soldiers defeat the Qing Dynasty, you will definitely be more popular with the Han emperor!"

Su Zhuketu shook his head: "The risk is too high. Although we did not surrender to the Han soldiers this time, we still escaped from the battlefield. The Manchu Qing Dynasty will not trust us. When we are in front of the Han soldiers, don't call me sweating."

Suzhuketu was very decisive. He took no food or supplies that night and fled south with his Chahar cavalry to join the Han soldiers.

……

Shimen Town Camp.

"Prince Regent, go south and fight the Han soldiers!" Luo Bu Zangshengbu advised.

He is a descendant of Manzhu Xili, the Prince of Darhan of the Horqin Left Wing Middle Banner, and the leader of the Jelim League.

Manzhu Xili originally followed Oba, the great Khan of Horqin, and later became the first to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty and got married to Huang Taiji. Hai Lanzhu and Dayu'er were both his sisters.

Eljitu will run to join the Ming army. This guy must take at least half of the credit, and the remaining half belongs to the other Horqin princes.

Sakulak also said: "Yes! Regent, if we don't fight the Han soldiers now, if we let the Han soldiers support Eljitu and Suzuktu to fight back to the grassland, the banners of the Monan alliance will be defeated by these two This traitorous minister has turned the world upside down!"

Sakulak is a descendant of Butazi, who was originally the younger brother of Oba, but this guy actually betrayed his brother.He was granted the title of Prince of Zasaktu from the Manchus, and also seized a flag from his nephew, which greatly weakened the power of the Tushiye Tu tribe.

"Prince Regent, send troops quickly!"

"Yes! Don't let the Han soldiers succeed, otherwise Monan will not be protected, and the Qing Dynasty..."

Not only the princes of the Horqin banners, but also the princes of the other banners of the Zhaowuda League and the Zhelim League also followed suit.

Everyone can see that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is declining.

Previously, these Monan Mongolian princes were only intimidated by the Manchu and Qing troops. In fact, most of them had the idea of ​​​​working but not contributing. They fought when they could and retreated when they couldn't.

But now, it’s impossible not to fight!
Eljitu surrendered to the Han soldiers, and the entire Chahar tribe surrendered. Unless these two were killed, even if they wanted to defect, they would not be able to surrender to the Han soldiers.

Because Eljitu would definitely have to use the strength of Han soldiers to run back to Zhelimu to seize power, and Chahar would have to go to war with the Zhaowuda League.

Who suffered the most misfortune in Chahar? Monan Mongolia, Chahar had the smallest population and pasture.In another time and space, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would even try to build a city on the territory of the Chahar tribe in two years and set up a Manchu general to control them.

Yinhu had a headache due to the quarrel, but he did not rush to send troops: "The decisive battle with the Han soldiers is of great importance. We need to discuss it further. Let's disperse!"

"Regent……"

Everyone wanted to persuade him again.

Yinhu forcibly dispersed these Mongolian princes and asked them to go down to appease the tribesmen and stabilize the morale of the army.

When there was no one in the big tent, Yinzhen said: "Brother Bage, although those people have their own evil intentions, we really can't continue the stalemate here, otherwise we will never be able to sustain food and grass." Yinzhen was speechless, thinking that this was the case. If you can imitate Taizong when you enter the pass, not to mention a complete victory in Beizhili, you will at least have to severely damage the Han soldiers.I am still young and in my prime. I can just like Taizong and slowly wear out the Ming Dynasty.

The result was that he was already injured without even fighting a single battle, and two of his Mongol followers defected.

Yinsu was silent for a long time and asked, "Where is Liu Ruhan?"

Yinqi shook his head: "I don't know. There is no news about Liu Ruhan, and our scouts did not find Liu Ruhan's army. Generally speaking, Liu Ruhan was either held back by Han soldiers, or he led his troops to escape."

Yinhu was a little hesitant. After all, he had never actually led an army in a war and had a serious lack of strategic experience.Not counting the time they fought against Mobei and North Korea, these two were brothers within a brother, and they could fight even a dog.

Yinqi asked directly: "What should we do now? Fight or withdraw?"

Yinsu thought about it and said: "First send the cavalry to look for traces of Liu Ruhan. If he is dragged somewhere by the Han soldiers. Then we will take the initiative to attack. The two armies will join forces and launch a decisive battle with the main force of the Han soldiers. Even if we cannot win, The Han soldiers must also pay the price."

In the next few days, the Yinhu Central Army camp remained stationary in Shimen Town, but they continued to send out rangers as scouts.However, these scouts soon discovered that they could not get out at all, because the Ming army also sent out cavalry to intercept and kill the Qing army's rangers.

There were many Manchu and Qing cavalry, many of them mounted infantry, as well as the Sauron tribe and Monan Mongolian cavalry.Tens of thousands of cavalry attacked the Ming army's dragoons, trying to encircle them and then engage in a head-on battle.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

However, the Ming army's dragoons did not follow the routine at all. They held a flintlock rifle and fired a shot, then ran away after shooting.

For the sake of speed, he didn't dismount to change his ammunition and aim, he just stayed on horseback and shot while running.Forget about being accurate, bluffing is really bluffing anyway, and there will always be one or two lucky people who get shot.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Another volley of guns rang out, and dozens of the nearest Manchu and Qing cavalry fell down, with a hit rate of less than one tenth.

Run after hitting.

Over the past few days, the Manchu and Qing cavalry suffered more than a thousand casualties, while the Ming army's dragoons... suffered only more than a hundred casualties.

Because the Manchu and Qing cavalry could not keep up with the Ming army's dragoons, the Ming army's dragoons wore too little armor. They were only equipped with breastplates, and the rest were not protected by armor.

The Manchu and Qing cavalry were completely beaten by the Ming army's dragoons.

Even if Yinsu had fought a battle with the Ming army before evacuating Beijing, he would have known the Ming army's shameless dragoon style.Even if you don't imitate it, at least find a way to counter it.

Unlike now, all the muskets are in the infantry, the cavalry can only ride and shoot, and most of them can't even pull the strong bow.Fireguns are still matchlock guns that have long been eliminated by the Ming army. Flintlock guns are a no-brainer.

If we can still win this battle, then it is simply a blessing from God.

Eljitu was completely stunned.

what's the situation?
Can cavalry battles be played like this?

Eljitu originally thought that after surrendering, he would have to fight with the Han soldiers, but he didn't want to do anything. As long as he cooperated with the shrinking of the encirclement, he basically led his cavalry back and forth.

Then I just watched the Han cavalry, which could not use more than [-] troops, block tens of thousands of Manchu cavalry in Zunhua, making it impossible to move even an inch.

Suzhuketu was already numb. He felt that it would be the same whether he came or not.When accompanying the Manchu and Qing troops, his Chahar cavalry were paddling, but when they arrived at the Han soldiers' side, they were still paddling.

Isn't it a waste of time to surrender to the Han soldiers?
The cavalry battle lasted for several days. Although the fighting was back and forth, the actual casualties were less than 400.The Ming army's casualties finally exceeded [-], and there were always a few cavalry groups whose tails were bitten by the Qing army for one reason or another.

Yinhu was so disgusted that his cavalry was completely blocked in Zunhua and could not get out.

It's not that he begrudged casualties, but that the Ming army simply didn't engage in close combat with him.

As long as the Manchu and Qing cavalry charge, the Ming army's dragoons will retreat, without giving any chance for a decisive battle.

Yinqi couldn't stand it anymore: "No, we can't continue fighting like this. The Han soldiers just want to delay our time and consume our food and grass."

Yinsu was silent for a long time: "Withdraw!"

"..."

Yinzhen did not open his mouth to refute. He had discussed with Yinzhu before that if the Ming army dared to gather troops so unscrupulously to fight with them, Liu Ruhan would probably either run away or be dead.

Well, it's also possible that it won't make any waves at all, and the results won't be affected.

Liu Ruhan originally wrote a letter threatening that if the Qing Dynasty did not send troops, he would not send troops.Now it's the same for Yinshu. Since Liu Ruhan is dead, why is he still staying in Beizhili?
Waiting to be made into dumplings by the Ming army, sandwiched in the middle and beaten?
　In the Qing Dynasty's Zhelimu League, it was often said that four tribes and ten banners formed one alliance.

　　The Four Tribes refer to the four Mongolian tribes headed by the Horqin Tribe: the Horqin, Zhalaite, Dulbert, and Gorros.
　　The ten banners include six banners on the left and right flanks of the Horqin tribe, one banner each on the Zalaite tribe and the Dulbert tribe, and two banners on the front and rear of the Gorros tribe.

　　In 1644, the Horqin tribe was divided into left and right wings, each with front, middle and rear banners, for a total of six banners.

　　Among them, the right wing was controlled by Prince Tuxietu. The three banners in the middle, front and back of Horqin's right wing were later nicknamed Tuxietu King Banner, Zasak Tuwang Banner and Zhenguo Public Flag, with the Dulbert Ministry and Zhasak Banners attached. Each of the Laite tribes has one flag.The left wing was controlled by Prince Darhan, and the three banners of Horqin's left center, front, and rear were later nicknamed Darhan King's Banner, Bingtu King's Banner, and Bodol Gatai King's Banner, together with the front and rear banners of the Gorros Division, so that Four tribes and ten banners formed an alliance, and the meeting place of the alliance was set at the west Zhelimu area of ​​Keyou Middle Banner of Xing'an League, so it was named Zhelimu League.
