Zhang Jinghe Tuo, who was stationed in Songjiang Mele, was Kangkara's nephew.
A rising star from Manchuria, a tough and capable warrior, his father is Kang Kara's elder brother.
He entered the customs with Bush Xian Zhang Jingcong who was entrusted with the task. This position was later designated as a Han-named forward to take charge.
Li Zicheng defeated Li Zicheng at Tongguan from Duduo, then moved his troops to Jiangning, and then from Boluo to Hangzhou. After returning to Beijing, last autumn, under the order of the regent, he and Congshu Kangkara and four other people led eight banners and ten thousand troops to the south of the Yangtze River for reinforcements.
According to the order, he was stationed in Songjiang.
In a series of battles in which the Qing army entered the Pass, Hetuo also performed well, and was awarded the rank of Labulhafan and Tuosalahaban with military merits, and he was hereditary (first-class cavalry captain and first-class cavalry captain).
The future star of the Wanyan family failed Jiading City just like that.
When Tu Guobao arrived at the right wing of the Royal Camp in Xushuguan Town, Wang Chuangzi was also full of joy.
"Congratulations, Marshal, congratulations, Marshal." Tu Guobao presented a jar of Shaoxing old wine. In fact, Tu Guobao didn't like to drink this kind of rice wine before. He liked to drink Fenjiu from Shanxi.
But since he decided to join the Ming Dynasty, he started drinking Shaoxing wine instead.
He heard that the emperor also liked Shaoxing rice wine.
"I wonder which kind of happiness you are talking about?" Wang Chuangzi asked with a smile.
"The first joy is congratulations on the annihilation of Hangzhou Zhumala's army in Lishui, and the second joy is that He Tuo was defeated again in Jiading City."
"Hahaha, it seems that you are not well-informed. There are three and four joys." Wang Chuangzi said with a smile, "For the third joy, Zhejiang Governor Li Yuchun, Governor Pan Yinglou, Chief Envoy Zhu Guofan, etc. officially
Change flags and banners, annihilate the five hundred and eight banners left behind in Hangzhou, and then spread the word to the world, officially leading western Zhejiang to join our Ming Dynasty."
"Sixxi, it is you, Tufutai, who has officially changed the banner of Suzhou. You have led your troops to attack and destroy the minister stationed in Suzhou. Meilezhangjing Kangkara and his 1,800 men are full of troops."
Tu Guobao was stunned for a moment.
I just came from Suzhou City, why didn't I know that I defeated 1,080 Tatar soldiers in Kangla?
But he immediately woke up to the meaning of Wang Chuangzi's words.
"The general will go back and mobilize his troops to destroy Kangkara and the thousand and eight Tatars. May I ask the Marquis of Jingnan, do you want the Kangkara bandit to live or die?"
Wang Chuangzi snorted coldly.
"All the Tatars in the world can be killed. What do I want to do with my life? Just come and see me!"
"The general will understand, so go and take his head and offer it as a sacrifice!"
"General Tu, can you take it? If you don't have enough troops, just ask."
Tu Guobao gritted his teeth and said, "Admiral, just wait here for the final report."
Tu Guo Bao left in a hurry.
On the way, Cao Hu and others couldn't help but ask, "This Wang Chuangzi wants to force us to fight against Kangkara, so that he can reap the benefits. Military Gate, although we have tens of thousands of people in our hands, but the armored men
There are fewer soldiers, and there are even fewer veterans. This may not be an advantage in merging with the Tatars in the city, right?
What's more, this is our last capital, but if the capital is gone, we won't have a foothold in the future."
Tu Guobao stopped his mount, turned to look at Cao Hu, Zou Xixiang, and Yang Guohai, his closest confidants, and sighed, "You don't even look at what time it is, are you still fantasizing about that?
To tell you the truth, this current Holy Emperor is not Chongzhen, let alone Hongguang. If you want to be a warlord and listen to orders but not Xuan, that is impossible.
Look at his layout, look at his plans, look at his methods, look at the way he uses his troops. If we play that trick with him, we are seeking death.
It's better to be wise, do what you need to do, and follow the arrangements for the rest.
I now understand that in this troubled world, living is more important than anything else.
In less than a year, Zhu Yihai went from a lonely king to the master of half of the country. He easily wiped out the Four Wings and Eight Banners stationed in Jiangnan, a total of ten thousand people.
The Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers totaled less than 100,000, and 10,000 of them were wiped out in one fell swoop.
I was deeply shocked by Tu Guobao.
In the past six months, he had lost the city of Suzhou three times, and he had fantasized about maintaining his official position and continuing to be the local emperor by redeeming the city and liaising with the Ming army.
Now I realize that he was still too naive.
Yan Wogong, Li Yuchun, Zheng Jiwu, Zhu Ganggang, Wu Kai and others were all members of the Ming emperor, and the Tatars were treated like grandchildren by him.
Tu Guobao feels that he has been played like a fool for more than half a year.
"After all we have done now, do you think they will let us lead another ten thousand troops?" Tu Guobao shook his head, "Anyway, after today, these soldiers are no longer ours, so don't feel bad, take advantage of it
I still have it in my hand now, so I can use it to make some more achievements, which can be regarded as a certificate of investment."
After galloping back to Suzhou City, Tu Guobao immediately started making arrangements.
He secretly sealed off the whole city, secretly mobilized troops and horses, and then took only a team of servants to the inner city to meet Kangkara and bring him good news.
"The former ministers and elders of Jiading conspired to rebel and seize the city. After hearing the report, General Hetuo rushed to Jiading with his troops. After three days of fierce attack, Jiading was recaptured and the entire rebel city was slaughtered. Now he is resting in Jiading and will be recuperating in the next few days.
Meet at Suzhou.
There is also good news. General Zhumala from Hangzhou has also arrived in Jiangning via Huzhou and Yixing. He has already contacted Yan Jinglue. The Ming thieves outside Suzhou are currently making a commotion and seem to be preparing to divide their troops and return to Jiangning to aid."
What Tu Guobao said is true.
During this period of time, Kangkara was completely cut off from outside news and had no idea what was going on outside. He really believed that Tu Guo Bao was like a grasshopper on a rope with him and trusted him very much. Seeing that he managed the city defense in an orderly manner, he was like iron.
Bucket, and I appreciate it very much.
"Shilang Kang, I think this is a good opportunity. There is some commotion in the Ming camp and the morale of the army is unstable. I think we can take the opportunity to counterattack. We can catch them off guard tonight and go out of the city to attack the camp. We will definitely turn defeat into victory."
Kangkara was a little moved.
The Ming army besieged Suzhou City and built siege equipment day and night. During this period, they also launched several attacks, but they were all repelled by Tu Guobao's army. However, it was frustrating to be surrounded every day.
Now that I heard that both Zhumala and Hetuo had good news, I couldn't help it.
"Okay." Kang Kara didn't want to lose to his nephew, "We can't let Wang Chuangzi run away. We have to share some of the burden with Jiang Ning."
night.
It was a windy and snowy night, pitch black and cold wind howling.
During the day, Tu Guobao and Kangkara had distributed silver rewards and wine and meat to the soldiers respectively. Everyone had a good meal to recharge their batteries.
After dark, Kangkara was fully armed, with two bags of arrows on his back, a sword on his waist, a gun and a bow on his back, and an iron whip and fire blunderbuss hung on his saddle.
One thousand and eight Manchurian soldiers were also fully armed.
People have titles, and horses have hoofs wrapped around them.
So I left the inner city in the dark.
After leaving the inner city and walking on the streets of Suzhou, it was quiet and depressing.
A city under martial law is lifeless.
Each team lit up only one lantern, and the dim light illuminated the street. They moved forward in silence, holding back their energy, preparing to go out of the city to defeat the Ming army and show off the majesty of the Eight Banners.
According to the agreement, Tu Guobao will lead a battalion of 10,000 soldiers tonight to fight out from the four gates of Suzhou. Their front line is also a cover. They will attack east and west to attract the attention of the Ming army, and then cover Kangkara's elite Eight Banners.
The soldiers went straight to the main camp of the Ming army in Hushu Town.
Tu Guobao has even given Kang Kara a defense map of the Ming army camp in Xushuguan Town.
·······
"At the military gate, the Tatars have left the city, and the entire army is dispatched."
Tu Guobao stood on the gate tower of Xumen, fully armored and wrapped in a large cloak. The wind and snow had fallen on it, and a layer of white had accumulated on it.
"Send an order to General Yang Guohai and ask him to lead his headquarters as planned, enter Mancheng, close the city gates, and block the Tatars' retreat."
The messengers came one after another and reported information one by one, including the route and location of the Tatar soldiers in a timely manner.
Tu Guobao was calm and composed, and asked Cao Hu and other generals to surround him with their troops and horses as planned, blocking other streets and alleys, and not giving the Tatars a chance.
As time progresses.
The Qing army was getting closer and closer to Xumen, and step by step they entered the ambush circle.
"Reiterate the reward again and tell the brothers that if you kill a Tatar soldier, you will be rewarded twenty taels of silver!"
······
Getting closer and closer to Xumen, but it was still quiet.
Kangkara was riding on the horse and felt something was not right.
According to the agreement, Tu Guobao should be waiting for him here. This place should be filled with soldiers from the Biao camp who are ready to attack, and there will even be many civilians and others.
But now it's still dark and dead here.
Where is the national treasure?
He called a soldier and asked him to ride to the front to check.
For a moment, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the night.
It seemed very strange on this quiet snowy night.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and louder.
Kangkara saw a horse approaching from a distance, and then saw the rider on the horse.
But the knight seems to have no head.
He thought he had seen it wrong, but when the horse came closer and approached the light in front, he still saw the headless horseman.
Just as he was surprised, the horse still ran over.
At this time, the soldiers in front also noticed something strange. They stopped their horses and exclaimed.
"General, he is dead and his head is missing."
What appeared immediately was a headless corpse, and judging from its attire, it was the soldier Kangkara had just sent to the city gate.
An uneasiness surged into his heart, and Kang Kara felt goosebumps all over his body.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came, like spring thunder blooming.
Then Kangkara saw a red light flashing in front of the street, followed by a louder sound.
"artillery!"
"Enemy attack!"
Kangkara's soul was so angry that he screamed uncontrollably.
In front of the street, near the city gate, bags of earth were piled up, and artillery was even set up there, and they opened fire directly on them.
The shells blasted out and struck directly.
The narrow streets were crowded with Eight Banners soldiers, and this cannon blasted countless men and horses to pieces. Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.
Then another shot.
Along with the sound of cannons, countless shouts of killing rang out.
On the roofs of houses on both sides of the street, torches were thrown and there were fireballs.
Then there were countless archers and gunmen standing on the roof, shooting at them from above.
Fireballs, oil bottles, etc. exploded and burned in the streets.
Arrows flew across the sky and gunfire sounded loudly.
The artillery roared non-stop.
Countless shouts of killing arose, and in the light of the fire, soldiers and horses came out everywhere, holding shields, spears, and swords to attack.
Kangkara looked at this scene with anger and turned pale.
Fell into a trap.
Tu Guo Bao, damn Tu Guo Bao!
He roared loudly on his horse, trying to direct the Eight Banners warriors to fight their way out of this trap, and even cut into pieces the bodies of Tu Guobao who dared to ambush them.
But there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and a cannonball bounced off the ground in front of him, and then swept directly in front of him. Kang Kara felt that his eyesight went dark, and then nothing happened.
In the light of the fire, only half of the body was left on Kangkara's mount, and the entire body was missing from the chest and abdomen.
