Chongzhen Ming Dynasty: Starting from Meishan Chapter 450 Dilemma
Seeing Azig take the initiative to stand up, Daishan almost laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes, I am already old and my physical strength and energy can no longer keep up."
Daishan immediately stepped down and said, "Now is the time for young people like you."
Dorgon stared at Azig, filled with hatred in his heart, he really wanted to slap Azig to death.
However, Dorgon remained calm on the surface, waving his hands and saying: "Old Twelve, shut up. The last time I fought hypocrisy in vain, I haven't argued with you yet. How can you have the confidence to win?"
Dagukou?”
Azig was instantly angry as if he had been slapped in the face: "Old Fourteen, can you blame me for what happened last time? If you hadn't called me back midway, I would have eliminated the hypocrite by now."
What losers are best at is always shirking responsibility.
"If you really want to prove yourself, it's not too late to wait until my second brother gives it a try."
Dorgon grunted and said to Daishan: "Second brother, the important task of attacking Dagukou belongs to you!"
Daishan knew that he could not escape, and it was useless to shirk anymore, because Dorgon could also use the collective will of the Eight Banners to suppress him. He held two white flags in his hands, and Fulin's two yellow flags also obeyed him.
Shanggurumahun is such a loser, no matter how the Eight Banners discuss politics, he will always lose.
"Okay, then second brother, let's give it a try."
Dai Shan said: "However, my second brother cannot trust the Green Camp soldiers, so you have to transfer the Zhenghongqi back from Xuzhou."
Dorgon frowned when he heard this, because according to his plan, Xuzhou's "hunting" had just entered a critical juncture. It was not only to destroy Xuzhou's farming, but more importantly, to replace the generals of other banners.
All the generals who were loyal to our banner were replaced with generals who were loyal to him, Dorgon.
If you turn the positive red flag back at this time,
This will make Duduo's rectification of Zhenghongqi fall short.
As a result, as soon as Daishan finished speaking, Azig also continued: "Old Fourteen, by the way, please bring back my twenty Niulu. Without the Eight Banners in Manchuria, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture Dagukou."
"No." Dorgon flatly refused Azig.
However, he did not dare to be so decisive when it came to Daishan. He said with a straight face: "Second brother, Duoduo will lead a total of 260 cattle from the Eight Banners in Manchuria to go hunting in Xuzhou. This is also the Eight Banners' political decision and cannot be changed lightly."
"However, I can transfer 10 cows from Zhenghongqi at my discretion and bring them back."
After a pause, Dorgon continued: "With the help of these 10 great Manchu warriors, second brother should be confident, right? After all, the total Ming army in Dagukou is only five or six thousand."
"Okay, then let's bring back 10 cows."
If Dai Shanjian doesn't come back with everything, he can only settle for the next best thing.
Dorgon immediately sent flying cavalry to the Xuzhou battlefield to mobilize troops.
…
At this time, Duduo on the battlefield in Xuzhou was already in a dilemma.
If you continue hunting, it will become a loss-making business.
The cruel reality is that since the main force of the Ming Army came to Xuzhou, especially as a large number of Ming Army cavalry joined the battle, the Eight Banners Manchuria would lose a lot of men every day, not to mention plundering the population.
As of today, the Eight Banners has lost more than 3,000 cavalry.
Dodo himself was shocked when he saw this number today.
Unknowingly, ten Niu Lu had been lost in the Xuzhou battlefield.
What worries Dodo even more is that the casualties are still increasing.
At the beginning, we basically only lost a few or ten horses. Occasionally, we would lose hundreds of horses. However, since late March, the number of horses lost every day has increased to dozens of horses.
If it continues, Duduo dares to say that the daily losses will increase.
But the problem is, if we withdraw our troops at this point, we can't explain it to Brother Fourteen.
So Duduo is really in a dilemma and doesn't know what to do.
Duduo was undecided, so he called together more than a dozen Gushan Ezhen and Mele Zhangjing from the two white flags to discuss countermeasures.
He Luohui suggested: "Master, we definitely cannot withdraw our troops like this. Not to mention that the generals like Ao Bai, Ye Chen, Lan Bai and other banners have not truly surrendered. Even Xuzhou's farming has not been destroyed.
"
Melezhangjing Azignikan of Zhengbai Banner also said: "Yes, we have to wait until autumn anyway, so that we can not only rob a batch of wrappings while the dogs are farming, but also harvest a wave of
Autumn grain, make up for the loss, otherwise you will really suffer a big loss this time in Xuzhou."
Other generals also agreed.
No one supports withdrawing troops.
Duduo said helplessly: "Why do I want to withdraw my troops?"
"If you withdraw your troops in such a disgraceful state, you will inevitably be punished again. By then, I am afraid that I will not even be able to keep my title of county king, and may even lose several of my bannermen."
"But the problem is that if you continue to spend time with Ming Gou in Xuzhou, you will lose money."
"I wonder if you have ever calculated that the casualties in the last two days can be equal to the casualties in the previous ten days!"
After saying this for a while, Duduo sighed again: "We have only lost more than 3,000 riders now, but if we spend a few more months with Ming Gou in Xuzhou, we may lose 30,000 riders!"
Of course, saying 30,000 cavalry is an exaggeration, but 10,000 cavalry is really possible.
The generals such as Ah Shan, He Luohui, and Ajigenikan suddenly fell silent.
It was only then that they finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
After pondering for a moment, Duduo added: "However, even if it is inevitable to withdraw our troops in the end, we cannot just withdraw our troops. Before withdrawing our troops, we must give Ming Gou a severe blow."
Hearing this, Ah Shan, He Luohui and others immediately became energetic.
To be honest, the fight over the past few months has really made them frustrated.
In the past, the Eight Banners warriors were invincible on the battlefield, and the Ming army would flee when they saw them. But this time on the Xuzhou battlefield, it was not the case. The Ming army unexpectedly fought with them in the field. The key is that they were at a disadvantage. Sheep
The pack actually turned around and hunted the wolves. Isn’t this a mess?
Ah Shan asked: "Master, are you planning to have a decisive battle with Ming Gou?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "A direct decisive battle will definitely not work." Duduo shook his head and said, "We only came to the Eight Banners Manchuria, the Green Camp, the Eight Banners Han Army, and even the Eight Banners Mongolia.
Follow us, and in addition to cavalry, the Ming army in Xuzhou also has a large number of infantry, as well as chariot camps and a large number of red cannons and tiger crouching cannons. A frontal decisive battle is purely seeking death."
He Luohui asked again: "Does the master mean to set up an ambush?"
"Yes, ambush." Duduo nodded and said, "Find a suitable terrain to ambush the Ming cavalry. Even if you can't annihilate all the Ming cavalry at once, you will still severely damage them! We have to let Chongzhen, the dog emperor, know that in terms of cavalry and shooting, we must
It’s our Manchurian warriors, no matter how hard Ming Gou trains, there’s no way he can catch up with us.”
"But Ming Gou is very cautious."
Azignikan also said: "They will not be fooled."
"Come and take a look." Duduo took out a map of Shandong.
It's the kind of map from before, it can only be used for reference.
"This is Nanyang Lake. The Ming cavalry will only pursue them here, and will not pursue them further north."
"Because Nanyang Lake begins to enter the mountainous area to the north. Obviously, the Ming army is worried that we will bury ambushes in the mountainous areas north of Nanyang Lake and Dushan Lake, so it is not possible to ambush the Ming army north of Nanyang Lake."
Ah Shan said: "But there are open plains to the south of Nanyang Lake, and there is no way to hide an ambush."
Duduo said: "We can't hide now, but we can hide the ambush in a few days, because the weeds in that patch have grown several feet high, and we can hide the ambush soon."
"Weeds?" He Luohui and others' eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, why did you forget the weeds? It is spring now, the season when weeds grow wildly. In one day, weeds can grow several inches tall, and in a few days, weeds can grow to three to five feet tall.
Duduo added: "So don't go hunting these days and let the weeds grow more lush."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Baya soldier hurried in holding a lacquered letter in his hands: "Master, urgent delivery from Tianjin."
"Express delivery to Tianjin?" Duduo was stunned when he heard this. What kind of express delivery was sent to him from Tianjin? It was really baffling. Luo Yangxing, the admiral of Tianjin, wanted to give his daughter to him as a concubine, but there was no need to worry about it.
Hand it over?
The generals of the two white flags, such as He Luohui, Ashan and Azignikan, also looked at each other in confusion.
Full of doubts, Dodo scratched the paint with a dagger and took out the letter from the envelope.
After just reading a few lines, Duduo's expression suddenly changed. Dagukou was captured by the Ming army?
Seeing that Duduo looked unhappy, He Luohui asked worriedly: "Master, what happened?"
After Duduo hesitated for a moment, he decided to tell the truth: "Chongzhen, the dog emperor, sent a partial army to attack Dagukou a few days ago!"
"What?"
"Dagukou?"
"How can this be?"
When He Luohui and others heard this, their expressions also changed.
Duduo went on to say: "In the past few days, the emperor's father, the regent, and his uncle, the regent, have been defeated in Dakukou, and many green battalion soldiers have been lost. Now, Prince Li is taking the lead in Daishan, and Prince Li requested to recall Shi Niulu.
The flag bearer of the red flag!"
"How is this possible?" He Luohui, Ajigenikan and others were immediately stunned when they heard this. Both the uncle and the emperor's regent were defeated in Dagu? How could the Ming army's partial divisions be so difficult to deal with?
He Luohui even suggested: "Master, how about we return reinforcements?"
"No need for the time being." Duduo had already learned about Dorgon's overall plan from the letter.
After putting away the letter, Duduo said again: "Come here, go and fetch Gadahun for me."
Ga Dahun was Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen, and he was quickly ordered to the lobby of Yan Shenggong's Mansion.
Seeing Ga Dahun greeting him, Duduo said: "Gadahun, your master is in trouble at Dagukou. You are asked to lead ten Niulu bannermen to help immediately. You should go back quickly.
"
Gadahun's expression changed slightly and he said, "May I ask the prince, what happened in Dago?"
"You'll know when you get there." Dodo said impatiently, "Don't ask any more questions."
"Hey." Gadahun really didn't dare to ask any more questions. During this period, Duduo was really scared.
