A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 226 Dorgon Abate

Wang Dou quietly watched Wen Daxing torture him, he had always let his sergeants do the brutality to the Qing soldiers.His army training is harsh and discipline is strict. In fact, the sergeants have a backlog of hostility in their hearts.

Wang Dou's military punishment for harassing the common people of Ming Dynasty was extremely strict, and related beheading and military stick regulations were densely packed.The hostility in the sergeant's heart always wanted to be vented, and it was better for them to vent it on the Tartars than on the common people of Ming Dynasty.

In the Military Disciplinary Regulations, there are many regulations on military merits and seizures, but there are no regulations on how to deal with the torture or beating of Tartars by the sergeants, so this matter is not under the control of the town governor Chi Dacheng.Watching the movement in the field, Zhong Tiaoyang remained calm, Li Guangheng and Zhao Xuan had already walked away, Han Zhong and Wen Fangliang looked at each other and smiled.

Wen Daxing separated the three Qing soldiers, interrogated them in fluent Manchu, verified their confessions with each other, and finally handed a piece of information to Wang Dou respectfully with satisfaction.

Wang Dou looked at it for a while, then waved his hand: "Let the generals above the general manager discuss matters in the hall."

……

In the evening of that day, Tongzhou, on the west bank of the canal.

It seems that there is no limit to the Qing army tents at a glance, pure white black dragon banners, white bordered red banners, pure red yellow dragon banners, red bordered white banners...the banners are densely packed and fluttering in the wind.In the camp that spanned hundreds of miles, there were full of the Qing Army's Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner and other eight-banner troops.

Among the densely packed tents of the Qing soldiers, there is an extraordinarily huge camp, among which there are many luxurious tents with flaming golden roofs. In front of the big tents, there are several huge golden dragon banners.The surrounding guards are all the elite soldiers of the Ba Yala camp.

In a large tent, the tent is full of Qing generals in gilt armor. There was a burst of angry shouts from here earlier. Outside the camp, there are dozens of bloody heads hanging. Looking at their braided hair, it is astonishing. He is the leader of the Qing army.

At the top of the big tent, sat a Qing general who was less than thirty years old. He looked at Du Du, the bannerman inlaid with a red flag, who was furious at the head, smiled secretly, and looked calmly at Da Yangwu on the left beside him. General Yuetuo glanced at him, and this middle-aged general, who was about forty years old, was equally calm.

The general couldn't help cursing secretly: "Old fox."

This general of the Qing Dynasty was the general Dorgon who entered the customs this time. He was ordered by Huang Taiji to divide the left and right wings of the army with the general Yangwu Yue Tuo, and launched the second entrance battle.Dorgon broke through the wall from Dongjiakou, and Yue Tuo broke through the wall from Qiangziling in Miyun. In October of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the two wing soldiers met in Hexi, Tongzhou.

At this time, Dorgon was the banner owner of the Zhengbai Banner, and his deputy in the left-wing army was the banner owner of the Xiangbai Banner, his younger brother Duoduo.

Originally, the two were the banner owners of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner. However, after Huang Taiji grabbed the Eight Banners as the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, in order to consolidate his position, he renamed his Zhengbai Banner to the Zhenghuang Banner. It turned out that Dorgon's Zhenghuang Banner was renamed It is the white flag.He also changed his son Hauge's Xiangbai Banner to Xianghuang Banner, and Duoduo's Xianghuang Banner to Xiangbai Banner.

Although Huang Taiji tried his best to toss the new Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, the strength of the two white banners Dorgon and Duoduo is still strong. The combined forces of the three brothers Azige, Dorgon, and Duoduo rank first among the Eight Banners. second.This time Huang Taiji appointed Dorgon as the general who was ordered to lead the army into Daming, but he did not have the idea of ​​weakening the strength of Dorgon and the Duoduo brothers.

The big tent was raised, and a bloody man came in between two Ba Yala soldiers, and fell on the thick carpet inside the big tent. Jiala Zhangjing.

He was a soldier with a red flag, and when he returned from defeat, Du Du, the flag owner, jumped violently, and immediately beheaded the two deserters who had originally attacked the stone bridge.The Jia Lazhangjing was also whipped for a long time, and almost died of breath.

At this time, Du Du yelled at Jia Lazhangjing for a while: "Huda, you really lost the face of my Qing Dynasty with the red flag. You led an army of [-], met hundreds of defenders in the Ming Dynasty, and fled back. It’s less than four hundred? Such a useless slave, I will punish you by military law.”

Najia Lazhang Jing was out of his wits, and just kept begging: "Those enlightened people are sharp and scheming. In the land of the stone bridge, the slaves' forces cannot be deployed, and they have set up more ambushes... This, the slaves are all very serious." A crime of war."

He howled.

Yue Tuo, the general Yangwu who was at the top, coughed suddenly: "Okay, General Du, the army is going out, and it's time for us to employ people in the Qing Dynasty. Let Huda, this slave, take the blame and make meritorious service."

Yue Tuo is the owner of the Zhenghong Banner, and his deputy Du Du leads the inlaid red flag. The two lead the right-wing army of the bandits. , Yue Tuo spoke up.

In fact, Du Du didn't want to kill this Lazhang Jing Huda, but just because of Yue Tuo's pleading, he took the opportunity to step down, kicked Lazhang Jia bitterly, and roared: "Get out."

Najia Lazhang Jinghuda was about to roll and crawl out.

Rao Yubeile Abatai, who had fought against Wang Dou in the ninth year of Chongzhen, sat quietly at the bottom, his expression changed, and he said, "Wait a minute."

Everyone in the tent had different expressions, they all looked at Abatai, Du Du's face was a little ugly, he, the owner of the flag with a red flag, let Huda go, so could it be that Abate, a Baylor with a white flag, wanted to chase after him? Will it work?
Abatai got up from his seat, and the heavy gilt armor was worn on him, which showed his burly body even more. He asked Najia Lazhang Jinghuda in a deep voice: "You mean that the firearms of the defenders are sharp?"

Najia Lazhang Jinghuda didn't know what Abatai meant, and felt uneasy in his heart, he just nodded eagerly.

Abatai asked a few more questions. From the Ming army's tactics and equipment, he asked in detail. Finally, he asked: "Then on the smoke pier of the Ming army's stone bridge, is there a banner with the word king?"

Najia Lazhang Jing Huda said: "If you return to Rao Yu Baylor, the servant will see it."

Abatai said in a deep voice: "It turned out to be the subordinate of the Ming general Wang Dou, no wonder."

Sitting on the left side of the big tent, the owner of the inlaid white flag, Duoduo, said with a smile: "It turned out to be Wang Dou, the Ming general who fought against Rao Yu Baylor in the first year of Chongde. , you know it is under the command of the Ming general.”

Everyone in the tent was snickering, the fact that Abatai returned from under the Shun Township Fort in the ninth year of Chongzhen still leaked out in the Eight Banners and became a joke among all the banners.At that time, Abate led most of the bordered white flags to attack the city, and Wang Dou was just a small defender. Although Abate said that there were at least thousands of defenders in Shunxiang Castle at that time, no one believed it.Everyone just spread the word in private, that Rao Yubei Le Abatai claimed to be brave and good at fighting, but that's all.

Because of this, Wang Dou has a lot of popularity in the Qing Dynasty, but in everyone's mind, he only exists as a foil topic for Abate, a small defense officer of the Ming Dynasty, but no one cares about him.

Duoduo laughed again and said: "Back then, Wang Dou was just a defense officer of a small fort in the Ming Dynasty. This time he can lead the army into the guard, at least he is also a guerrilla general. He will be promoted very quickly."

Many people even laughed, and Abatai was furious. The people in the tent, like Dorgon, Duoduo, and Yuetuo, were mostly his sons and nephews.However, everyone was promoted to Prince. He was just a Baylor, and his title was two levels lower.

Because of this, everyone didn't take him seriously. Dorgon was less than thirty years old, and Na Duoduo was a few years younger than Dorgon. He was still young, so he dared to laugh at himself?
However, Abatai was furious in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said to Dorgon and Yue Tuo: "The two generals, Wang Dou fought bravely, which is quite strange. If you don't get rid of this son, Fear that it will become the scourge of my Qing Dynasty in the future!"

He solemnly said: "In the first year of Chongde, Wang Dou was just a defensive player. Now he has become a guerrilla general in the Ming Dynasty, and today he even defeated the army led by Huda Jiala. According to his military achievements, it is expected that he will be at least one after the war. It is possible to be a general, even a deputy general, or a general. We cannot allow him to grow up step by step, so that more and more warriors will be lost in his hands."

He said: "The old man is willing to lead the army to go out and wipe out Wang Dou's troops in one fell swoop."

When Abatai said this, everyone in the tent looked at each other in dismay. Dorgon coughed and said: "Our two armies are already preparing to go south, so don't make more troubles, so as not to miss my army's plan to plunder south! Then Wang Dou is no more than a small guerrilla general, don't worry about it, please take a seat, please."

When Abatai saw General Yangwu Yuetuo again, he didn't say a word, obviously he didn't agree with his proposal.

Abate sighed heavily, and sat down helplessly.

Previously, Dorgon and Yue Tuo were discussing with the generals in the tent about the plan to go south, and the matter of Najia Lazhang Jinghuda was just a small episode.After Nahuda scrambled out of the tent, all the generals in the tent continued to discuss, only Abatai was worried, and the scene of fighting against Wang Dou in the ninth year of Chongzhen came to mind again.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, Wang Dou had been keeping strict guard in the village fortress, but the Qing army's retaliatory army did not come, only the sentry heard that the Tazi soldiers seemed to be pulling out their camps, going south one by one.They went to Liangxiang, which is south of the capital, and they have not harassed the officers and soldiers of Xuanda Sanzhen in the eastern suburbs of the capital for the past two days.

At the same time, in the past two days, the emperor's imperial decree has not come down, and the army is already discussing. Could it be that the emperor has not received the document of victory from Duchen Lu, is it impossible?Only Wang Dou knows the history, so it is estimated that Lu Xiangsheng's good news was suppressed by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian.

Looking in the direction of the capital, Wang Dou sighed heavily.

Two days later, the food and grass in Wangdou camp decreased a lot, mainly because many Qing army horses were seized, which increased the food and grass consumption in the camp.Looking at the daily reduction of grain, rice and fodder in the warehouse, Wang Dou became anxious, and the idea of ​​sending troops to plunder the Qing army's supplies became stronger and stronger.

Chongzhen 11th October 23rd, morning.

The third battalion of chariots of the fifth army in the Beijing camp escorted a batch of grain and grass. The third battalion of chariots of the fifth army was a heavy battalion. There were eighty carts in it, each with eight mules, and one cart could carry twelve stones of rice and beans. Five buckets, and prepared a lot of firepower.

Although it was only ten miles from the capital to the Xuanda defense area, the supply battalion was still fully armed, and the third battalion of the fifth army's chariot soldiers escorted the food and grass, and the Xuanda officers and soldiers were all happy.Afterwards, everyone was disappointed again, the baggage camp only brought three hundred shi of rice, three hundred shi of fried chess, and five hundred shi of black beans, which could only provide food for Xuanda's soldiers and horses for a few days.

Those assigned to the Wang Dou camp were even more few.

That afternoon, Xie Yike cheered and reported to Wang Dou: "The emperor's imperial decree has arrived, and several eunuchs have entered Duchen Lu's camp."

Then he said strangely: "But those eunuchs are sullen, they don't look like imperial decree Jiamian."
