Chapter 129: The Tiger’s Poison Doesn’t Eat Its Children, Too Many Casualties
Update time:2012-11-27
Zu Dashou was eager to achieve great results, so he did what he said without even drinking. He asked Huang Taiji to order the Khan, and then went to pick some reliable subordinates from the surrender army, so that he could take them to sneak back to Jinzhou after dark and pretend to open the city gate to surrender.
gold.
Daishan expressed doubts about Zu Dashou's efforts to offer Jinzhou. He thought carefully and felt that Zu Dashou might not really donate Jinzhou, so he advised Huang Taiji: "King Khan, I think this matter is unreliable.
What if Ancestor Dashou is not sincere in surrendering to me and just leaves and never comes back?"
Huang Taiji didn't have Dai Shan so much in mind, and said with a smile: "I don't think I was cheating when I saw my ancestors at the birthday party, but he sincerely offered me a large sum of money. Even if he is really cheating, let him go."
.If you are in Jin camp and your mind is clear, what's the use of staying here? But if he can help me win Jinzhou, it will be an unexpected big gain. If you don't return, you will lose a long life, so what's the regret?
The second brother does not need to worry too much. This Khan left his three sons, two younger brothers, adopted son and adopted son and nephews in the camp. Even if he deliberately deceives, he will not sincerely sacrifice his life for his idiot Chongzhen in the future.
With these hostages in hand, this Zu Dashou will be used by me, Dashou, from now on, whether he likes it or not."
Hearing this, Dai Shan took it seriously and said with a smile: "That's true. If the tiger's poison does not eat its seeds, the ancestor will not return even if he lives a long life. He will not really go against our big gold in the future. Maybe he can still borrow money from him in the future."
Hold Chongzhen's idiot in your hands."[
"If Zu Dashou can really defraud Jinzhou City and give it to me, he will be a rare and brave general for me in the future."
Fan Wencheng said flatteringly, "The generals of the Liaodong Army are as afraid of our Eight Banners as tigers, but they are much stronger than the armies in the Ming Dynasty. With them as the vanguard and familiar with the roads, they went to Ningyuan, commanded Shanhaiguan, and penetrated directly into the Central Plains. The great achievements of the Khan King can be achieved."
It works!"
"If this is true, this Khan will definitely want Wen Cheng to be the top official of the Han Dynasty!"
Fan Wencheng spoke of Huang Taiji with great pride and reverie. In a trance, it seemed that he had led the Eight Banners force to break through Shanhaiguan, break into Beijing, and sit on the throne of the Zhu family emperor.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tong Yangxing from outside came into the tent without knowing the timing and said: "King Khan, how will the Liaodong Army under Zu Dashou be arranged? Will it also be incorporated into the Han Army Banner according to the regulations?"
"I have promised to celebrate my ancestor's birthday. Those soldiers who are willing to serve as soldiers will be incorporated into the Han army flag. Those who are unwilling to serve as soldiers will be classified as civilian households. The prince-in-law will take care of it. As for the members of the ancestor's family, it is not convenient to be incorporated into the Han army.
Military flag, um..." Huang Taiji thought for a moment, raised his hand and ordered: "We will organize them all into this Khan's yellow flag."
"Integrated into the yellow flag?"
Tong Yangxing was startled. There was a precedent for incorporating surrendered generals and soldiers into the Eight Banners, but it had never been incorporated into the Two Yellow Banners led by the Khan. Even in ordinary Manchuria, if you want to join the Yellow Banners, you have to select them carefully. But he didn't know
What did King Khan think? He actually wanted to incorporate all his family members into the Xianghuang Banner. This would be too flattering to them.
Daishan also felt that something was wrong, so he advised: "The King of Khan wants to treat his family members favorably. This is understandable, but there is no need to carry them into the Xianghuang Banner. If the King of Khan really wants to incorporate them into the Eight Banners, it is better to serve them as ministers."
That's a red flag. Otherwise, I'm afraid other Baylors will have objections."
"Why!"
Huang Taiji said without any doubt: "I treat my ancestors with kindness not only to reward them, but also to show them my compassionate heart, so that my ancestors and the Ming generals of Liaodong will know.
In the eyes of this Khan, the Manchus and Han people are one, and these Han people can also become the eight banners of our Dajin Zongzong instead of being subordinates. Only in this way can the loyalty of these surrendered generals be strengthened, and the strength of our eight banners can be expanded." Midai.
Shan wanted to persuade him again, and went further: "Second brother, there is no need to persuade him any more. I have already made up my mind, so let's just deal with it as it is."
"Since King Khan has made his decision, I can't say anything." Daishan nodded and said no more.
Seeing Jierharang next to him, he was secretly alert. When Huang Taiji first came to the throne, he would consult Daishan for his opinion on everything, and he would only implement it after the other party nodded. However, now he is acting arbitrarily. It seems that he
His reputation is really at its peak, Amin is trapped, and Mang Gurtai is not far away from death. There is only one Daishan left, and it is difficult to survive alone. It seems that it is just around the corner that this Daishan will be taken down as the great Baylor in political affairs.
It's a matter of course. I have to be more responsible in the future, otherwise, sooner or later, this Zhenglan flag will be taken back by Huang Taiji, and the property left by his father and brother will be completely destroyed.
Huang Taiji didn't know what Jierhalang was thinking. Remembering that he had yet to find the golden dragon flag, he asked Daishan anxiously: "Second brother, have you found the golden dragon flag?"
Daishan shook his head and said: "The twelfth brother and the fourteenth brother led people to search several times, but they did not find the whereabouts of the flag. I was wondering if it fell into the Xiaoling River or was burned by the fire.
?”
"If it falls into the Xiaoling River or is destroyed by fire, I won't worry too much. At worst, I can just ask someone to make another one. But if the Ming army robs Jinzhou of this banner, I will face it."
Your Majesty." Huang Taiji sat down with some annoyance, "At that time, I blamed Ben Khan for walking too fast, otherwise, the flag would have fallen somewhere."
Huang Taiji was upset and blamed himself. Jierhalang and Tong couldn't comfort him, so they looked at Daishan, hoping that Daishan could tell King Khan not to blame himself so much.
Daishan coughed, stepped forward, and said softly to Huang Taiji: "King Khan, the casualties of all banners have been revealed. King Khan, do you want to hear it?"
"Report it." Huang Taiji was a little frustrated.[
Dai Shan was busy announcing to Liu Bingyi, the study official who was waiting outside the tent, and asked him to come in and report the casualties of each banner to the Khan.
After Liu Bingyi saluted him, he picked up the book and read: "All flags reported and summarized. In the battle of Xiaolinghe yesterday, our three armies of Dajin, Manchu, Mongolia and Han suffered more than 30,000 casualties. Among them, 1,460 soldiers died in the two yellow flags.
750 people were injured; 3,800 soldiers were killed and 3,810 were injured under the two white flags; 4,900 were killed and 3,200 were injured under the two red flags; more than 2,000 casualties were reported under the Zhenglan flag reported by the Derge. Whether the specifics are true or not needs to be verified with the three Baylors."
Hearing this, Huang Taiji stood up and cursed angrily: "What three great Belles? He is just a pig! A pig!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Liu Bingyi was so shocked that he stood there and didn't dare to say anything more.
Huang Taiji even called Mang Gurtai a pig, and Daishan was also shocked. He knew that Mang Gurtai might be in trouble this time. He advised him: "King Khan, please calm down. Mang Gurtai's matter will wait."
I'll deal with it when I go back, but for now, I'd better calm down so as not to make myself angry."
Huang Taiji suppressed his anger towards Mang Gurtai. Although he knew that the battle was a terrible one and that each banner suffered heavy casualties, he made an estimate and thought that there were 10,000 to 20,000 casualties. How could he know that there were more than 30,000 casualties?
There was another burst of physical pain. But the battle was finally won. The casualties were higher, but the goal was achieved, which is also exciting.
When Liu Bing saw that Huang Taiji's expression softened, he added: "In addition, the Mongolian tribes suffered more than 6,000 casualties, the Han bannermen suffered 3,000 casualties, and other guards suffered 140 casualties. As for the losses of armor and weapons, we have a temporary number.
In terms of war horses, the loss is probably around 6,000."
"The generals of each banner were killed in the battle, including four Jia La E Zhen and seven Niu Lu. In addition, the former commander of the bodyguard E Zha and Ta Lai were killed in the battle. The Mongolian side..."
Liu Bingyi was talking, but Huang Taiji interrupted him impatiently, "I know, I don't need to read it anymore. The fallen soldiers should be compensated by the Great Baylor and the Baylor Flag Master, and the wounded should be sent back to Shenyang as soon as possible."
…”
After explaining some aftermath matters, Huang Taiji said to Dai Shan: "The casualties in this battle were too great. Although the pre-war goal was achieved and many Ming troops were captured, the flags were severely damaged. If we don't take advantage of the situation, we can win the battle."
If we go back to Jinzhou like this, the people of the country will inevitably be resentful."
"Jincheng Jiancheng, we can only hope that Zu Dashou can cheat and open the city gate. Otherwise, we will have to withdraw our troops. It will get cold soon."
With a sigh, Daishan slowly looked outside the tent. As the strong wind yesterday cooled down, the day was getting colder and colder.

Author's note: 1. When Nurhachi expanded the four banners into eight banners in the 43rd year of Wanli, one Niulu Ezhen was set up for every three hundred people, one Jia La'e Zhen was set up for every five Niu Lu, and one Gushan Ezhen was set up for every five Jia La.
. One Gushan is one banner. Calculated in this way, each banner has a total of 25 Niulu, which is the five-five system. Each Niulu has 300 people, so each banner has 7,500 people, and the eight banners have a total of 60,000 people.
Second, in several places in the previous article, Jia La E Zhen was mistakenly written as Gu Shan E Zhen, which will be revised later.
