Just when Pang Gang was busy preparing for his mission to the Netherlands, Dorgon and others, who were leading the army and the looted supplies, returned to Shengjing with Yue Tuo, who was seriously ill.
At the west gate of Shengjing City, Huang Taiji personally led the two yellow flags and the Zhenglan flag to greet them in the suburbs. The gates at the west gate were filled with soldiers of the three upper flags.
Dorgon and Duo Feng saw Huang Taiji's Yellow Dragon Poison from a distance. They were surrounded by many princes and ministers of the two yellow flags. On both sides of them, there were soldiers from Bagala camp and Alha Chaoha camp wearing various armors.
The soldiers, each of them has a clear and clear military appearance.
Looking at the smiling Huang Taiji standing under Da Su, Dorgon started to beat a small drum in his heart. In this southern invasion, they originally captured more than 400,000 Ming people, but were later forced to give up due to the interference of the Qingzhou Army.
With the loss of 200,000 people, they ran back to Liaodong in despair with food and grass and the remaining 100,000 people. In addition, the southern invasion suffered heavy losses, Dorgon's heart was even more uneasy at this time.
In addition, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, in order to pave the way for his son Hauge, he did not hesitate to kill each other again and again. Even his brother Mang Gurtai was tortured to death by him. Amin was also sent to the far north to hunt wild boars. Even
Among the Baylors of the Eight Banners, none of them, such as Abatai, Azig, Dorgon, Duo Feng, Jiergeilang, Daishan and others, have not endured his attack. Now that our own side has returned from a major defeat, it will be even less difficult.
You know how the other person wants to deal with you.
And even though Dorgon and Duo Feng hated Huang Taiji so much behind their backs, their fear of Huang Taiji was deep in their bones, otherwise they would not have been defeated in the original war for the throne.
Everyone dismounted one after another and came to Huang Taiji. They all prostrated at Huang Taiji's feet, performing the highest Manchu etiquette.
Huang Taiji's eyes were as sharp as a poisonous snake's and he glanced at the crowd before he opened his mouth and asked everyone to stand up.
After everyone stood up, Huang Taiji looked at everyone again and asked, "Why don't you see General Yang Wu? Where has he been?"
After hearing Huang Taiji's question, everyone turned their attention to Dorgon. He had the highest status among everyone present.
Dorgon was secretly resentful in his heart, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "I would like to inform your Majesty that General Yang Wu cannot come to pay your respects to your Majesty because he is seriously ill. I hope your Majesty will forgive you."
Huang Taiji frowned. This Yue Tuo was usually quite strong, so why did he fall ill during this expedition? It was really unlucky. Huang Taiji looked at it carefully and asked: "Where is Luo Luohun?
I can't see him anywhere, is he also sick?"
Dorgon returned respectfully: "Your Majesty, Luo Luohun is taking care of General Yang Wu because General Yang Wu vomited blood again this morning!"
"What, he's vomiting blood again!" Huang Tai was shocked. He originally thought that Yue Tuo just suffered from a cold or was angry, but now he is vomiting blood. This is not a sign. If something happens to Yue Tuo
, there are even fewer people under his command who can fight.
"Okay, all my dear friends, please follow me back to the palace!"
Following Huang Taiji's order, the army stayed outside the city, and everyone followed Huang Taiji into the palace in Shengjing.
In the splendidly decorated Chongzheng Hall, Huang Taiji sat on the dragon chair and looked at the generals who were still prostrate on the ground with unkind eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Dorgon, please tell me the situation of the battle this time.
Report it truthfully."
"Scum!"
Huang Taiji did not give an order, and Dorgon did not dare to stand up, still kneeling on the ground, "This entry into the pass started very smoothly, but after encountering the Qingzhou Army led by Pang Gang, I suffered a small loss in Zaozhuang, but I didn't
In a few days, Pang Gang left Lu Xiangsheng's command. As soon as Pang Gang left, our battle went extremely smoothly, and we captured hundreds of thousands of Ming people and countless money. Gao Qiqian and Lu Laisheng released us and fled in embarrassment.
, just when General Yang Wu was leading us to annihilate Lu Xiangsheng, this Pang Gang appeared again..."
At this point, Dorgon's face showed a mixture of shame, anger, fear and unwillingness. After taking a breath, he said: "Originally, I also heard that Abatai and Twelveth Brother (Ajige) passed by that huge mountain."
Gang is very powerful, but I am not very convinced in my heart. This time I fought with Pang Gang in Julu, and I felt how powerful Pang Gang was."
"Ba Cheng..." There was a soft sound, and it turned out that Huang Taiji pinched off a wolf hair in his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Go on, stand up and answer!"
"Scum!"
Because they had been kneeling for too long, Dorgon and the others stood up with difficulty. After moving their somewhat stiff knees, they continued: "What Pang Gang and Brother Twelve are doing is a little different. This time Pang Gang's strength is
It increased sharply. Originally, my brother had already crippled Lu Xiangsheng, leaving only more than ten thousand soldiers and horses who were short of clothes and food and lingering in Xunyan. But Pang Gang suddenly came out of nowhere and joined Lu Xiangbing.
Later, he stuck to Julu. After discussion with General Yang Wu, my younger brother decided to annihilate Pang Gang in Julu no matter what the cost. As long as Pang Gang is destroyed, no one in the Ming Dynasty will be able to resist our Qing army.
Front!"
"Well, it's rare for you to have such an idea!" Regarding this, Huang Taiji admired their courage very much.
"But we were wrong. Both my brother and General Yang Wu were wrong." Dorgon lowered his head in shame: "With his firearms, Pang Gang not only resisted the attack of our army, but also killed our Qing warriors.
With heavy losses, in five days of fierce fighting, more than half of our 80,000 army suffered casualties. General Yang Wu was anxious and tired, and finally fell ill. When my brother saw this, he had no choice but to order the retreat."
At this point, Dorgon couldn't help but shed tears, lowered his head and waited for Huang Taiji to say goodbye.
Huang Taiji was so angry that he stood up, walked back and forth with his fat body, and shouted in a low voice: "I didn't expect that this Pang Gang not only burned, killed and looted in Liaodong, but also killed a carbine and dared to fight with my army.
enemy!"
"Yes." Dorgon continued: "According to my brother, Pang Gang doesn't have any merits. He just has sharp firearms. My brother, I look at his military formation. Although he is no less brave than me, the Qing Dynasty, he has a bow and a horse.
But it is far inferior to our army. As long as we, the Qing Dynasty, can only use firearms to make firearms and use the same sharp fire and gunfire to blast open their formations, only then can we have a chance of winning."
"firearm?"
Huang Taiji squinted his eyes and remained silent. He heard that Dorgon meant that the Qing Dynasty should give up the bow and horse volleys that it was good at, and also learn firearms from the Ming Dynasty. This would abandon the tradition of the Qing Dynasty.
However, Dorgon's words were exaggerated by the upper echelons of the Qing Dynasty. (To be continued.)
