But that night, Wu Shigong recalled the conversation during the day. Suddenly, words such as "bonds", "land", and "futures" jumped into his mind, and Wu Shigong suddenly thought of a solution. He immediately jumped out of bed
, repeatedly calculating the feasibility of this method, the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, so he jumped up excitedly. At this time, Wu Shigong couldn't wait to return to Runing as soon as possible, and he was already a little eager to try it.
"Fourteenth brother, during the court discussion just now, the words of the second brother and the others were a bit harsh. But I know your contribution and damage to the battle formation is inevitable, so don't take it too seriously." Huang Taiji consoled him kindly.
Dorgon said.
Dorgon immediately stood up from his chair, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Dorgon's army returned to Shengjing, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty first cheered for such a rich capture, and then were shocked by the casualties of the army entering the pass. And the public opinion in Shengjing gradually began to change.
Ergon was at a disadvantage, especially the banner leaders of each banner, each Gushan, each Jiala, and each Niulu. Ezhen, the heavy losses of the Eight Banners greatly reduced their military resources. And in the court discussion just now
, the banner leaders besieged Dorgon again, trying to make him responsible for the losses of the Qing army. In the end, it was Huang Taiji who stopped this meaningless accusation, hurriedly ended the court meeting, and put Dorgon
Left alone for soothing.
Huang Taiji helped Dorgon back to his seat. "Other people don't know, but I understand very well. If you don't fight, our Qing Dynasty will not be able to bring back so many benefits. But Fourteenth Brother, you really are not exaggerating."
How strong is that Ming army?" Huang Taiji asked.
"My brother will never lie in front of the emperor." Dorgon quickly assured.
This is the fourth time in recent days that Huang Taiji has asked Dorgon the same question. After Dorgon came out of seclusion, of course he claimed in his report to Huang Taiji: This battle was a great victory for the Qing army. That reason is also
It was quite sufficient, and no trace of the Qing army's seizures was lost. And in order to boost morale, the Manchu Qing Dynasty only announced the losses of its own bannermen - more than 700 casualties, and doubled the casualties of the Runing army.
.
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not hide the casualties of the Qing army's bannermen. You must know that although the Manchu and Qing troops entered the Pass this time more than 30,000, there were only 4,000 bannermen of the Eight Banners, and most of the casualties were
His servant troops and coats. However, among the top management of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they certainly knew the actual number of losses of the Qing army.
But even with such watery figures, the senior management of the Qing Dynasty still found it incredible. They felt that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have such an army, so Huang Taiji had always been very concerned about the Ming army that had created miracles.
"Do you know the commander of that Ming army? Where did that Ming army come from?" Huang Taiji asked again.
"I only know that he is from Henan, and the other ministers don't know." Dorgon replied. In fact, Dorgon inquired about Wu Shigong and his Runing Army as soon as he came back, and also knew some basic information about them. However, due to Wu Shigong
He and the Runing Army have always been inconspicuous in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they have not been the focus of the Manchu and Qing spies. Therefore, there are only some basic information about Wu Shigong and the Runing Army in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
"Do you know? The Ming general who is your enemy is under thirty years old. He is the concubine of a marquis in the Ming Dynasty and married into his family. His reputation has never been well-known. But I asked someone to check his past.
"Battle report, do you know what I found out?" Huang Taiji asked with a smile. Huang Taiji must know a lot more about intelligence than Dorgon.
"My dear brother, I don't know!"
"That brilliant general is very extraordinary! He has never lost a single game since his debut. In the past ten years, he has almost won every battle. Even the Three-Shun King suffered heavy losses at his hands."
"Ah? But why haven't we heard of him before?" Dorgon was immediately surprised.
"At that time, I also felt quite strange. Why was that Ming general not famous? Why did the faint king of the Ming Dynasty not reuse that Ming general? Later, after careful search, I discovered the reason. My brother, do you know why?" Looking at it?
Dorgon's face was full of questions, and Huang Taiji immediately smiled and said the answer: "He is a fool!"
"Ah? No wonder!" After hearing Huang Taiji's words, Dorgon's mood immediately improved a lot. After all, being damaged at the hands of Mongolians was better than losing at the hands of Hans, which made Dorgon's face look much better.
At this time, Dorgon's mind was spinning rapidly: "Your Majesty, can you let the spies in the pass spread rumors and let the ignorant king of the Ming Dynasty kill the Ming general? Can we also contact the Ming general?
Ming general, as long as he votes for our Qing Dynasty, we can give him glory, wealth and honor." In a short period of time, Dorgon thought of two ways to deal with Wu Shigong.
Huang Taiji smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Let's discuss this matter in the long run! But the iron armor and fire guns you brought back this time are very good. Forget the iron armor, it is too troublesome and expensive to build, and only the Ming Dynasty was as rich as the Ming Dynasty.
Only in the country can we make so many. But I have already shown Tong Yangxing the fire blunderbuss. It is simple to make and very powerful. I have asked him to imitate a large number of them. There are still many talents in the Ming Dynasty! The only pity is you.
The kind of artillery that is easy to travel and can fire quickly. It would be great if I could get one."
"My brother is guilty!" Dorgon quickly accused him.
"This is none of your business." Huang Taiji quickly comforted, "You have done a good job. But this time the losses of each banner are indeed greater. I have ordered each banner to carry more coats to carry the flag.
He also asked Jilharang to go to the north to capture more savages (born Jurchens) to enhance the strength of our Eight Banners. With the newly made firecrackers and our national athletes, we will never encounter the Ming army next time.
Suffer a loss."
After Dorgon returned to Liaodong, the top management of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties also analyzed the gains and losses of this battle. In the end, they unanimously agreed that the only difference between the Qing army and the Runing army was firearms. This time, there were imitation Runing army guns, so
They all believed that this would bring the strength of the Qing army to a higher level.
"White pig! Come here!" Niu Lu'erzhen waved to the white pig working in the field.
The white pig immediately threw down his hoe, trotted to Niu Lu Ezhen, knelt down and saluted, and said, "I would like to say hello to Master Ezhen."
When the white pig finished its salute, Niu Lu'e really thought about it and said: "Originally, I wanted to raise the flag for you, a slave, this time, but your grandma disagreed. There was nothing I could do. But I thought of a way to include you.
The fourth daughter-in-law’s dowry will make her a member of my family, so I’ll leave it to you, this slave, to think of a solution!”
…
Until Niu Lu'e was really far away, White Pig still stayed there in confusion.
