Chapter 313: Jinzhou, let's decide the outcome

After Prince Li Dai Shan asked about the losses of each flag, he inspired the generals to send all his anger at the Ming Dynasty's sneak attack to him on the battlefield. He then gave some instructions on the battle today, and ordered everyone to return to the flag, clean up the remains, and make fire to make food.

Although the two princes, Haoge and Ajige, both shouted and volunteered, Prince Li Daishan ignored it and just arranged for Kong Youde's Tianyou Army, as well as the Mongolian Yellow Banners and Zhenghong Banners to prepare for the first wave of war.

After all the princes and Gushan Ezhen withdrew, Daishan ordered Goshha who was with him to call Prince Su Haoge, Prince Wuying Ajige, and Gushan Ezhen, who was inlaid with the yellow flag of Manchuria, to call him.

After Ajige entered Daishan's tent, he sat down in the big chair on the right. He asked, "Prince Li summoned again, but would he be the warriors under my command go to fight and be the vanguard of the army?"

He is different from Haoge. Daishan was Haoge's uncle after all. Although he was old, he controlled the two red flags and was still the second most powerful existence in the Qing Dynasty after Huang Taiji. Even if Haoge was the prince of the Qing Dynasty, he would not dare to be too presumptuous in front of him.

But Ajige and Daishan are half-brothers, and the Ajige brothers and several others also protected them when they were suppressed by Huang Taiji, and there was still some friendship here.

Although Dai Shan’s original intention was not really trying to protect the three Ajige brothers, he just didn’t want Huang Taiji to further grow his strength, and he was also afraid that Huang Taiji would cut his butcher knife at him after he knocked down all his opponents.

But even so, when Ajige grew up, he took Dorgon to the position of the lord of Zhengbai Banner, and blamed Dai Shan for not doing his best to stop Huang Taiji.

Moreover, as he grew older, Ajige's temper became increasingly irritable. He became impulsive and irritable and looked down on the aging eldest prince.

Therefore, when he was good at speaking in his contemporary era, he did not respect him very much. He was still restrained just now, and now his true colors are revealed.

However, Dai Shan didn't care. He said with a kind look: "Brother Ajige, you have always been brave. Who doesn't know about me in the Qing Dynasty?

Now I am the first to hold the white flag inlaid, and I am eager to make contributions in front of the formation and to convince the public. I can understand my eagerness, but my warriors in the Qing Dynasty are so precious, how can I rush into my head and act as cannon fodder in vain."

Dai Shan's face suddenly became dark and his tone became cold. He continued, "The emperor returned to Shengjing and entrusts Jinzhou to us and Prince Rui. We should think about how to defeat the Ming army and avoid worrying about the emperor.

When a large army fights, it is important to make plans, not just relying on a single bloody courage. Although it is very satisfying to fight, if the enemy cannot be defeated in one go, the war will be delayed for a long time and waste our country's food and supplies, it will be of no benefit to the Qing Dynasty."

When he said this, his eyes widened, without anger, his tone continued with a colder tone: "You are all loyal and kind to the Qing royal family. At that time, you must always remember the overall situation first and do not seek personal selfishness or enjoyment for a moment, but will miss the big plan.

If you feel ashamed of the Emperor's trust, even if you have a few heads, it will not be enough to cut off!"

Although Dai Shan was sixty years old and looked quite old, he was also a veteran who fought all his life and still had the power of the tiger. At this moment, he looked majestic. Haoge, Ajige and others were all shocked by him and dared not say a word.

Seeing this, Dai Shan felt quite satisfied, but he still spoke with a majestic look on his face: "Worshiping the Yintu..."

The Manchu Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen worshiped the Yintu. When he heard Dai Shan calling his name, he hurriedly stood up from his seat and bowed to listen.

Dai Shan continued, "...You have divided the three warriors of Jiala inlaid with yellow flags and went to the Mongolian two yellow flags and Zhenghong flag formation to help the battle. Before noon, there was no gong ringing, but those who retreated and feared should be killed immediately!"

"Yeah!"

When he received the order loudly, he knew that the three Jialas he sent were supposed to help with the battle, but in fact he was used as the supervisor team.

However, the Qing army has always been like this. Not to mention the Han army's banners and the Eight Mongolian Banners, and even the Manchu flags fought, they often used the heavy-armored Bayala warriors as the supervisor team behind them. However, if they did not charge bravely in front of the battlefield, or retreated timidly, they would also be killed on the spot.

After receiving the order from Juyintu, he sat back in the chair and had already planned which three Jialas to send to carry out the task of supervising the battle.

At this time, the voice of Prince Li Daishan came again: "Ajige and Haoge, two warriors from each of you, are formed in front of the Central Army camp. The warriors in the flag of the rest are resting in the camp. Do not move without any move, but if there are any orders to leave the camp, behead them immediately."

“Ah…ah!”

When Haoge and Ajige heard this, they were both stunned, but they had to get up to receive the order.

Although Daishan and Haoge were both princes, in terms of seniority, he was Haoge's uncle. Even the Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty wanted to respectfully call him "Big Prince".

Therefore, Dai Shan dared to call Haoge the name of Haoge, and even put Ajige ahead of Haoge according to his seniority. Haoge did not dare to complain about this.

But following the words of Prince Li Dai, his Zhenglan Banner and Ajige's White Banner seemed to have nothing to do all morning, but it made Haoge very dissatisfied.

He clasped his fists and said, "Prince Li, Ming Gou is right before my camp, but why didn't I let my Zhenglan Banner fight? Moreover, the two Mongolian yellow Banners and Zhenghong Banners are also mainly defense. Could it be that they are afraid of Ming Gou?"

Facing Haoge's questioning, Dai Shan's expression remained unchanged, and he just asked indifferently: "What are the Southern Army crossing the Hebei region, what are you asking for?"

He was stunned when Haoge heard this, and then continued, "The army of tens of thousands of troops in the Southern Army gathered, and the supply of food and grass was difficult. In addition, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom was urged and anxious, so he was very eager to break the brocade siege, so he took the risk of crossing Hebei.

In this way, how can you be willing to fight on the river bank without advancing north?"

Dai Shan's presbyopia eyes shone brightly at this time, and some divine light appeared on his face. He continued with a little excitement: "If he continues to attack north, wouldn't it be exactly what we think? The two Mongolian yellow flags and the Zhenghong flags are in front of him, consuming the sharpness of the Southern Army.

The warriors of the three flags of Manchuria have been raising their energy. After noon, they will be driven by the energetic Qing warriors and cavalry. The Southern Army is still not looking forward to the change of their emotions. Are you still afraid that there will be no chance to kill the enemy and cannot obtain military merits?"

After hearing Dai Shan's words, Haoge knew that he was wrongly blamed him, so he quickly stood up and said, "Haoge's fault is indeed wrong to Prince Li, please forgive me."

How could Daishan have been concerned about him? Moreover, everyone thinks that Haoge is extremely likely to inherit the position of Emperor Qing, and Daishan is no exception. How could he make a grudge against these trivial matters?

"It's okay, Prince Su is also worried about national affairs, and he is thinking of defeating the reinforcements of the southern country earlier and capturing the important land of Liaodong."

Dai Shanyou continued, "Everyone will go back to the camp and prepare to go."

…………

At the time of the Chen Dynasty, the soldiers of the Xuanda Allied Forces had just used breakfast and formed a formation to wait for military orders in the north of the camp.

The strong north wind was still howling, but the snowflakes disappeared, and the ground was covered with silver and white, highlighting the bright red clothes of the Ming soldiers.

Especially the soldiers in Xuanfu Town were wearing red cloaks on their bodies, which was really enviable!

On the commander's platform outside the Central Army camp, Zhang Cheng was wearing bright armor and behind him was a red wool cloak. The officers of the Xuanfu Army's battalions of 1,000 or more were also in a big red cloak, but only the heads of each battalion were equipped with a wool cloak.

The reason why Zhang Cheng is like this is to highlight his class in the army. The officers must be equipped by ordinary soldiers. Only in this way can everyone think about being promoted and strive for the first place in front of the battle.

Of course, all this depends on clear rewards and punishments. Once the rewards and punishments are unbalanced, the soldiers will feel even more heartbroken, and everything that has been built with great effort today will disappear.

Wang Pu, the general of Datong, was also dressed in bright clothes, and behind him was a bright red wool cloak. He was also a handsome man, and he was very caring about himself on weekdays and was dressed in gorgeous armor. Now he was standing on the handsome stage, but he was also very outstanding.

However, if compared with Zhang Cheng, it would be better to say that he was half a head shorter than Zhang Cheng, just by his posture, but he was not as tall and agile as Zhang Cheng.

Although Wang Pu's face is also very handsome, it is too fair and tender, and compared with Zhang Cheng, he looks a little immature.

On the other hand, Zhang Cheng, after years of military training, he is even more heroic. He stands on the commanding platform with his hands on the hilt of his sword, showing his majesty. This is what a commanding general should look like!

At this moment, looking at the teams of Xuan Army soldiers in front of the coaching platform, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is getting colder and colder, but the soldiers are still single clothes and pins. Although they are covered with cloaks, they are still difficult to keep the cold.

In this war in Jinzhou, it’s better to decide the outcome soon!”

Wang Pu continued after hearing this: "This matter has been reported to Duke Hong, but the remaining cotton coats in Ji Liao are limited, which is not enough for the army. Although Duke Hong repeatedly urged the Ministry of War to quickly adjust the cotton coats and jackets into the Liao Dynasty, the national treasury is empty and the journey is long, which is not something that can be solved for a while."

"well!"

When he said this, he sighed and continued: "The cold winter is coming, especially the bitter and cold place in Liaodong, which is even colder. How can I control it with just a single garment? If the cold winter comes and the cotton coat and jacket are not yet replenished, I am afraid that Jinzhou will not need to be saved?"

Zhang Cheng was helpless in this regard. He turned to look at Zhang Chengfang who was with him and asked, "Did Wu Zhizhong have a letter saying that he didn't talk about this cotton coat?"

Zhang Chengfang took a step forward and replied beside Zhang Cheng: "Return to his father and commander, Wu Gujie still had a letter yesterday, and was sent here via Huangtuling. The letter said that all the craftsmen camps were everywhere. Since the army aided Liao, they have stepped up sewing cotton jackets, and now they have made 10,000 pieces."

Zhang Cheng nodded and asked, "Has he shipped?"

"Returning to the father-in-chief, Wu Guerrilla said in the letter that the five thousand pieces sewn in advance had been entrusted to the Xuanbei Shanggang to ship them on their behalf, and it is estimated that they can be shipped to Ningyuan at the end of the month."

After listening to Zhang Chengfang's report, Zhang Cheng said to him again: "Immediately write a letter to Wu Zhizhong and ask him to ship another five thousand cotton jackets to Liao as soon as possible."

"Here."

Wang Pu listened to the conversation between Zhang Cheng and his adopted son Zhang Chengfang. His surprise was completely reflected on his face. He said a little embarrassedly: "Zhang Shuai, we have a heartless request here. I don't know if we can be compatible?"

Zhang Cheng turned around, looked at him with a serious face, and said, "It's okay to say anything else, but if it's for the sake of cotton jackets, everything will be free."

"This...this...this..."

Zhang Cheng seemed to see through Wang Pu's thoughts and blocked his words. This time, Wang Pu was so stupid that he could not play. He stuttered three words "this", but there was no follow-up.

Zhang Cheng ignored him and said to Zhang Chengfang directly: "It's already Chen time, we'll gather the generals and drums, and we'll tell them to come and obey the orders!"

With a low drum sound, I saw several cavalry in each battalion of the Xuan Army riding horses towards the Central Army Commander.

…………

After a whole day of fierce fighting yesterday, the soldiers of both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties were already very tired, but they could not rest when they were facing life and death.

At this moment, only the Biao camp of the Ji Liao Governor Hong Chengchou was still stable.

…%…%…%…%…%…

%…%…%…%…%

When he said this, he sighed and continued: "The cold winter is coming, especially the bitter and cold place in Liaodong, which is even colder. How can I control it with just a single garment? If the cold winter comes and the cotton coat and jacket are not yet replenished, I am afraid that Jinzhou will not need to be saved?"
