Ye Bilong cut off Luo Bin's head, and the two hundred soldiers of the rebel army could not escape the fate of being completely wiped out by the Eight Banners soldiers. But for the Qing army, this was by no means a commendable victory. The battle between Jiala Zhangjing and Chen Tai
More than thirty elite Baya Lajia soldiers were killed. Such losses already exceeded the casualties paid by the Qing army when they attacked Yanzhou Prefecture.
Luo Bin died in the battle, and this small group of outposts who invaded the army were wiped out. However, the Qing army could not easily digest the fruits of victory. Yi Bilong rushed back in a panic to get the news about the sudden encounter with powerful Han soldiers.
He brought it to Tan Tai, but more Qing troops were still in scattered pursuit with wanton arrogance.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the deep sky before dawn is illuminated with a lavender glow by the bright moon in the middle. The starry sky after the rain is dusty, but the cleanest night sky cannot block the thick fog on the ground.
The sense of shelter comes.
Thanks to this thick layer of fog, the Qing army was able to approach the Ming army so quickly, causing most of the Ming army's tens of thousands of soldiers to be caught off guard and dispersed.
But it was also because of this thick layer of fog that Tan Tai did not realize how close their current position was to that of the main force of the invading army.
The Eight Banners soldiers smashed half of their teeth on Hanjia Road, but more Manchus were still intoxicated by this easy victory. They raised their reins and pursued them, spending all their physical strength and horsepower in the passionate pursuit, but they did not
Can predict the powerful enemies behind the fog.
Luo Bin was born into a jute gentry family, but he paid the price of his life for the cause of breaking into the army.
Until now, the main force of the Invading Army is still composed of border residents in northern Shaanxi and landless farmers in the Central Plains and Huguang. However, with the continuous victories of the Invading Army in Kaifeng, Suizhou, Xiangyang, and Wuchang, it has become more and more diverse.
Many people who were originally in the middle class of society joined the rebel army.
This is not surprising. The Ming Dynasty suffered military defeats one after another, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to increase the amount of taxes and pay increases to an even heavier level.
However, with more and more military defeats and increased financial and tax burdens, the original administrative system of the Ming court became increasingly unsatisfactory.
Groups at the top of the old ruling class, including clans, relatives, and senior civil and military officials. In order to make up for the loss of benefits they should have paid, these people are increasingly using simple and crude transfer methods day by day to transfer the harm to
to the next level of social groups.
The jute gentry was forced to rebel by Song Yihe, which seemed to be an accidental situation instigated by Ken Deji.
But as long as the Ming Dynasty cannot extract resources from the top strata of society, it will continue to transfer these allocations and extra allocations to the lower-level groups.
As long as this kind of conflict continues to exist, the intensification of contradictions will become inevitable by chance.
Not only the Huguang Army and the Central Plains Army, but also Li Zicheng's men, more and more middle-class literati came to join him. Even with the continuous victory of the Army, more and more middle- and lower-level officials and gentry were frustrated.
He also regarded joining the Chuang Army as a shortcut to reversing his fame and fortune.
This situation will inevitably transform the Chuang Army's regime into a structure with a more similar composition, but at this stage, it also allows the Chuang Army to gain wider support and support.
Luo Bin was born into a family of jute gentry who once fought against the rebels, but he accepted the transformation of the Young Soldiers and the Suiying School and became an integral part of the rebel army.
His heroic sacrifice may, in the long run, mean that the Chuang Army is transforming into a traditional political power that cannot surprise anyone.
But for now, Luo Bin's sacrifice shows that the Chuang army has ruled northern Huguang for a period of time and has begun to cultivate natural supporters of this regime.
They are different from fellow rebel Yuan Cong brothers like Hao Yaoqi; they are also different from senior scholars like Fang Yiren who were forced to join the Chuang Army due to internal strife in the ruling group; they are even different from Gu Junen who joined the army because of his poor situation and no career prospects.
The down-and-out scribes who broke into the army were different.
The main reason why these natural supporters participate in the Chuang Army and support the Chuang Army is that they regard the Chuang Army as natural and inertial managers and rulers.
This shows that the foundation of the Chuang Army is gradually being consolidated and solidified.
New changes mean new strength. In later history, when Bai Wang persuaded Li Zicheng to stay in Xiangyang, he said that the rule of the Chu army in the Xiangyang area had been "accepted by all villages" and it had become a natural and legal regime with local authority.
Now Li Laiheng's efforts have made this situation appear in a more consolidated and solid form in a geographical area that is many times wider.
In the mist, the Qing army was still pursuing a bloodthirsty pursuit. A few people were determined to gain momentum. From Chen Tai's accidental death in battle, they smelled a dangerous atmosphere that was different from the past.
However, most of the Qing troops did not see the heavy cannons and the banners of the Chuang army that Ye Bilong sent to Tan Tai. In other words, even if they saw it, they would not change their contempt and contempt for the Han army in the pass.
In this mentality, they seem to have forgotten the tragic casualties and lessons learned by the Eight Banners soldiers during the Songjin War. They have forgotten that as long as the Han army can obtain normal organization and training, it will definitely become a bitter pill that the Qing army cannot swallow completely.
Not to mention, if the Han army is properly organized and trained, and has good campaign planning and command, it will not only be a bitter pill, but a deadly poison.
The land of eastern Henan, this land located at the junction and between Henan, Anlu, and Shandong, is the first barrier on the land of Huaibei. It is the birthplace of the Jianghuai Red Turban Army that once dealt a fatal blow to Hu Yuan.
What is greater than the Jiang-Han relationship that brewed up Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang is naturally the Jiang-Huai relationship that finally destroyed Hu Yuan.
Obviously, compared to Ye Bilong who sensed this in Hanjiadao, most of the Eight Banners soldiers have not yet realized that they will definitely encounter resistance from the people between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River.
This kind of power originated from the people, even if it was not organized by Li Laiheng, who was fearful of the enemy, formed a party for personal gain, and was self-centered and narrow-minded, it would still cause the Qing army to suffer.
In later history, the equally arrogant Qing army encountered a unit of Xiao Yuan's camp in Haizhou, and was beaten to the point of fleeing by the rogue army that they despised and despised.
With the addition of a man with sinister intentions like Li Laiheng, the Qing army could only encounter more determined and fierce resistance.
Ye Bilong was running wildly. After he completely wiped out the 200 rebel troops under Luo Bin's command in Hanjiadao, he cut off the heads of all the Han Chinese who resisted fiercely and piled them into the capital to vent his anger.
Looking at the cannons, artillery, and armored weapons, I realized that the situation had changed.
But the thick fog that shrouded eastern Henan before dawn made Yi Bilong slightly disoriented. He looked at the circles of white mist, and stroked the thin and cold morning dew on the horse's mane and armor.
Suddenly I felt a strong sense of loss...
This is the mainland of the Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away from Shengjing, and it is a real enemy country.
If the Han people were not pigs, sheep and fruit trees, but beasts that could bite...
Aren't they in a wild forest that would devour all the Manchus?
"Ha, ha..." Ye Bilong patted the horse's back hard and accelerated forward. He turned his head and said to an Eight Banners armored soldier beside him, "Go back to the west and recall all the troops and horses. Just say that you discovered it.
The new enemy, tell everyone you see that you have discovered the movement of the main force of the Ming army, and everyone should withdraw to the east! Call back all the scattered pursuers... you must!"
Ye Bilong felt a little unsure. His brother Turge was still near Yanzhou, so he had to figure out a solution on his own!
He then thought, what is Obai doing now?
He didn't know that the question Obai was thinking about was: Where the hell did E Bilong go? Come and reinforce me!
