Dashun Yongchang

Zhao Yihe could only command his Niu Luerzhen Lu Fengchun to maintain the discipline of the team, and then shouted to these sergeants: "Don't try to escape, this place is at least three miles away from the city gate, we just left After more than half an hour, do you still have the strength to run back to the city?

Those thieves are just bluffing. Can they continue to maintain such a neat array when they fight?After all, you have to fight face to face. Now everyone has about the same strength. We will fight with them here. As long as we can repel these thieves and get Mr. Kerqun and the others out, I will promise you three days after returning to the city. Seal the knife.Lord Bahana will agree..."

At this time, Yang Guohai's face was not pale but red, he was angry with Zhao Yihe, he gritted his teeth and said to the subordinates around him: "These Liaodong people really don't treat us as human beings, if we can list Such an array, is it still necessary to take refuge in the Manchurians?

At this time, they are still tempting us by washing the city, because they are afraid that we will not die.Not to mention how many people can go back alive, the soldiers of the Shun Army are outside the city, we are going to wash the city at this time, isn't the birthday man hanged himself..."

Chapter 342 The Battle of Cao County IX

When Bai Bangzheng commanded two battalions of infantry to attack the Qing army leaving the city, he was satisfied.As a general from the border army of the Xuanfu, he could tell at a glance the quality of the Qing army opposite him. He was the lowest-ranking soldier in the Ming army in the past. The rabble who waved their flags and shouted might not even be able to beat the servants of those big families.

Therefore, he rejected the suggestion of the accompanying cavalry requesting to attack, but decided to let his infantry undergo an actual combat exercise. No matter how well they were trained on the training ground, an army that has not seen blood is just a display.

As a son of a border army officer's family, Bai Bangzheng is well aware of the chronic diseases of the Ming army.In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was the most particular about military formations. Famous founding generals such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun all relied on a well-disciplined army to form a solid military formation on the battlefield to block Meng Yuan's cavalry. Then fight back to win.

It’s just that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Mongols who lost the artisans of the Central Plains had retreated to the grassland nomadic civilization. Their attacks on the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty were more aimed at looting supplies than trying to compete for the world.Facing this kind of horse bandit-like Mongolian cavalry, the frontier army of Ming Dynasty gradually gave up the army formation, and replaced it with a small number of elite servants to chase and intercept.

Of course, the military reform led by Qi Jiguang once wanted to correct this mistake in the army, but the imperial court allowed Qi Jiguang to lead the military reform because the Mongolian ministries on the grassland were unified by Altan Khan at that time, and saw that the Mongolian ministries regrouped in Under the banner of Altan Khan, the Ming court had to make some changes.

It's just that when the peace faction in the court and Altan Khan reached a trade-for-peace agreement, Qi Jiguang was quickly kicked out of power, and the military reform he led fell by the wayside.

Don't the generals of the Ming Dynasty frontier army see that the military reform led by Qi Jiguang is conducive to improving the combat effectiveness of the army?of course not.However, these frontier generals still cooperated with the civilian officials sent by the court to stop Qi Jiguang. There is only one reason. According to Qi Jiguang’s reform method, the officers in the army need to be promoted from the new army. Completely marginalized.

This can be seen from the records of the Northern Army and the Southern Army when they went to North Korea to fight the Japanese Army. The Li family, which had the largest number of family members in the Northern Army, did not take advantage of the Japanese Army. not big.The Li family in Liaodong was almost abandoned by the court, and Li Chengliang was dismissed from office in the 19th year of Wanli.

However, in the Jizhou mutiny in the 23rd year of Wanli, the generals of the northern army trapped and killed the southern soldiers who had withdrawn from North Korea, the backbone of the Qi family army was wiped out, and the reform of the army was completely stopped.At this point, the Northern Army began to be completely privatized.

However, the historical burden of the Ming Dynasty is not the burden of the Dashun. After Li Zicheng ascended the throne in Xi'an and founded the country, the rectification of the peasant army and the Ming army that surrendered was put on the agenda.It's just that before someone crossed over, Li Zicheng chose the old-fashioned way, using literature to control martial arts.Naturally, such military reforms could not be accepted by the generals of the Peasant Army. Therefore, after the capture of Beijing, the backbone of the Peasant Army represented by Liu Zongmin expressed great dissatisfaction with Li Zicheng. Liu Zongmin even refused to lead troops to Shanhaiguan.

After someone crossed over, the Israeli Military Council absorbed all the hills in the army and allowed them to protect their rights in the Military Council. This was considered to ease the internal rift in the Shun army.Afterwards, Li Zicheng organized and trained the new army and set up a military academy, which essentially continued the military system reform led by Qi Jiguang and further concentrated the power of the army.

Generals of the Peasant Army like Liu Zongmin may not be able to see what Li Zicheng wants to do, but how can former generals of the Ming Dynasty Frontier Army like Bai Bangzheng not understand? A part of it has disappeared, and those Ming generals who regarded the army as their private property chose the Manchus who seemed to have a higher chance of victory.After Li Zicheng chose to quit Beijing, most people felt that Li Zicheng was about to die.

The former Ming generals who were willing to follow Li Zicheng to the south turned to support the military system reform, because the main targets of the military system reform this time were the various hills in the peasant army, followed by the surrendered Ming army ministries.What's more, even without the reform of the military system, it is impossible for the ministries of the surrendered Ming army to be as independent as they were in the previous dynasty.

On the other hand, although the leader of the military system reform in the Shun Army is the General Staff, the talents who can afford the military system reform are all from the former Ming army, because these former Ming army generals are at least no strangers to military system reform. After all, although the reform of the Ming military system led by Qi Jiguang was suspended, the generals of the Ming army did not forget the various policies that Qi Jiguang implemented in the army back then.

After Zuo Guangxian and Bai Bangzheng, the former generals of the Ming Dynasty frontier army, were promoted by Li Zicheng to serve as the chief generals of the new army, Bai Bangzheng naturally wanted to prove that the formation of the new army was correct as soon as possible, so as to continue to promote the reform process of the military system of the Shun Army .

The new army can meet a group of weak chickens for the first time in battle, which is really good, but when Bai Bangzheng urged the two new battalions to keep their formation, the adjutant beside him suddenly said to him: "Brigade commander, Those Qing troops seemed to be fighting on their own."

"?" Bai Bangzheng glanced at his adjutant in surprise, and made sure that the other party was not talking nonsense, so he picked up his binoculars and looked forward, from where they lined up to where the Qing army stopped About seven or eight hundred steps, this distance takes about two-thirds of a quarter to complete, and they have only walked half of it at most.

Before the war, Bai Bangzheng had considered the reaction of these Qing troops. It was nothing more than turning around and fleeing, defending on the spot, or launching an assault when they approached. In short, he had prepared corresponding countermeasures, but the only thing he didn't calculate What I arrived at was that this group of Qing troops would have internal strife at this time.

After putting down the binoculars, Bai Bangzheng still didn't understand what happened, but he asked the adjutant to continue to urge the infantry to advance, and then called Li Yuanyin and Li Yuantai, the captains of the cavalry squadron, and said to them: "I don't know how these Qing troops I want to do something, but I hope you send someone over to see what they are doing."

Li Yuanyin was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't want to be a babysitter behind these infantry for a long time, so after winking at his younger brother Li Yuantai, he agreed generously: "Then let our squadron go up, but if the Qing army fled, we Can you pursue it?"

Bai Bangzheng didn't have any problem after thinking about it, so he nodded and said, "Well, if they see you fleeing, they should take advantage of the situation and pursue them."

Li Yuanyin returned to his squadron, and said to the three squad leaders under him: "Brigade Commander Bai has given us an order to defeat them, and then attack all the way to the gate of the city. The first squad followed me to the middle, the second The squad goes to the left. If there is any change in the Qing army, you will attack the Qing army on the left. The third squad will go to the right hand and you will attack the Qing army on the right. Remember not to fight, just attack those who stay in place and do not flee and refuse to put down their weapons. soldiers."

The nearly fifty cavalrymen of the three cavalry squads all responded in unison. They were aggrieved by the Qing cavalry's pressure and beating all morning. At this moment, everyone wanted to get it back from the Qing infantry on the opposite side.

When Li Yuanyin led a cavalry team to the Qing army in the center of the front, Niulu Erzhen Lu Fengchun was leading a Niulu Han army flag soldier to confront the more than 300 Han army led by Yang Guohai. Lu Fengchun was desperate at this time. When the army lined up to attack, Yang Guohai unexpectedly hijacked Jialaerzhen Zhao Yihe and rebelled.

Lu Fengchun looked at Yang Guohai who was hiding behind a group of spearmen and scolded furiously: "Yang Gueran, are you planning to rebel? Now you let Master Zhao go, I assure you, Master Zhao will not pursue this matter. With you people, don't be fooled by Yang Gueran, think about your family in the north..."

Yang Guohai immediately interrupted Lv Fengchun and said: "If we die here today, our family members will be able to survive? Think about it, everyone, if your own life is gone, will your wife and children still be yours?

These Liaodong people don't regard us as their own at all. Kerkun and the others are not the opponents of the Shun army with the 300 full Mongolian vests. We have more than [-] infantry, and less than one-third of us are armored. They took us to meet Ker Kun and the others, but they wanted to use us as a bait to divert the attention of the Shun Army so that Ker Kun and the others could flee back to the city.

If you want to survive, you have to vote for the Dashun.Or are you planning to die with these Liaodong people?The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty is just a child, and the nine kings are in charge of the court. In two years, the emperor will be in charge when he is old. Maybe the Manchus will start fighting to fight for the emperor. His Majesty Yongchang is now sorting out the south. If Taking advantage of the civil strife and the Northern Expedition among the Manchus, the surname in this world will still be Li after all..."

"Yang Guohai, shut up, you dare to talk nonsense like this, aren't you afraid that the court will kill your whole family?" Lu Fengchun angrily interrupted Yang Guohai's words, but these words had already affected the surrounding soldiers, not to mention Han soldiers, even Han soldiers. Some people on the military flag side also began to hesitate.

Zhao Yihe, who was held down by two officers, was pitiful for him 30 years ago and he was considered a good man, but now he can't break free from the control of the two.Although he realized that the situation was not good, he still tried his best to persuade Yang Guohai, "Forget it, since everyone is unwilling to meet Lord Kerkun, then we should go back to the city.

Yang Gueran, as long as you are willing to return to the city, I will never reveal a word of what you just said.Think about your uncle, do you want the Tu Zongbing family to be buried with you? "

After hearing this, Lu Fengchun also understood that since the fight could not continue, it is better to lure these people back to the city. As long as Yang Guohai does not turn against him, they can at least rely on the city wall of Cao County to arrive for a few days.So he also swore to Yang Guohai, saying that he would never mention this matter after returning to the city, and asked Yang Guohai to lead everyone back to the city.

Seeing the surrounding subordinates cast their eyes on him, Yang Guohai seemed to hesitate a bit.But at this moment, a subordinate suddenly shouted loudly: "Look, the cavalry soldiers of the Shun Army are coming..."

Chapter 343 Battle of Cao County Ten

Yang Guohai stopped hesitating now, and immediately shouted to the soldiers around him: "The Shun army has infantry and horse soldiers, how can we escape back to the city? Lord Lu, don't give your life for the Manchus, let us We voted for Dashun together. Isn’t it good for everyone to save their lives in harmony? Xiaoqi, you threw away your weapon and told the horse soldiers that we asked to surrender, no, it was an uprising before the battle. The Han soldiers who revolted before the battle were innocent and meritorious..."

"Lu Fengchun, what are you waiting for, do it, kill Yang Guohai, absolutely not..." Zhao Yihe suddenly shouted loudly at his hesitant subordinates, but his struggle caused Yang Guohai, who put a knife on Zhao Yihe's neck Subconsciously pulled it, and then a fountain of blood spurted out from Zhao Yihe's neck, seeing that he couldn't live.

This unexpected incident not only stunned the surrounding soldiers, but even Yang Guohai was stunned. He subconsciously looked back at Lu Fengchun, but saw that the other party's eyes were red, and shouted at him: "Kill Yang Guohai! To avenge the adults."

Although there were only more than [-] Han army flags present, all of them were wearing cotton armor, and the Han army flag was drawn every [-] ding, and the physique of each ding was higher than the standard of ordinary soldiers of the Ming army. .When the more than fifty people, led by Lu Fengchun, rushed towards the spear formation in front of them, Yang Guohai's subordinates couldn't resist and ran away one after another.

However, Lu Fengchun, who broke through the spear array, found that Yang Guohai had disappeared. While he was looking for it, a subordinate pointed to the west and said, "My lord, Yang Guohai fled to the Shunjun cavalry."

Lu Fengchun became anxious all of a sudden, and while chasing him with all his feet, he shouted loudly: "Catch up, we can't let him join the Shun army."

At this time, Lu Fengchun had already understood why Zhao Yihe wanted him to kill Yang Guohai at all costs, because if Yang Guohai joined the Shun army, Tu Guobao would be unstable. How could he be allowed to run away at this time.

Li Yuanyin was approaching the Qing army with a small team of cavalry, when he saw a man who looked like a Qing general running towards him, yelling non-stop, and took off his cotton armor to speed up his attack. Running fast, behind him was another group of Qing troops in white armor with red borders chasing him.

Almost without thinking, he shouted loudly: "Jian Jie saves people, others follow me to disperse the group of pursuers."

Lv Fengchun has long hands and feet, and he has been training all the time, so although he started late, after chasing fifty or sixty steps, he saw that Yang Guohai's vest was not far away from him. He was about to strike Yang Guohai's back, but he heard someone yelling, "Get down."

Before Lu Fengchun could react, he saw Yang Guohai in front of him suddenly pounced towards the ground on the left, and then a black shadow appeared in his vision, and then he felt himself flying, and he saw a headless figure below him out of the corner of his eye. The corpse was standing on the ground, and the clothes on his body were quite familiar, and then he had a clear understanding, "Is that my body?"

Although the combat power of the Han army flag is stronger than that of the ordinary Ming army, they are not monsters after all, and it is impossible to fight against a cavalry charge in such a scattered formation.On the other side, the Han army banner soldiers who did not chase after Niu Luerzhen immediately gave up the idea of ​​controlling the Han army after seeing Lu Fengchun beheaded by the cavalry of the Shun army, and ran towards the city one by one.

Li Yuanyin had no interest in chasing and killing these small soldiers. After he asked his younger brother Li Jianjie to lead people to monitor these Han soldiers who were said to be rebelling before the battle, he asked Yang Guohai who was brought over: "What do you say your name is? You want to go before the battle?" uprising?"

At this time, Yang Guohai picked up the cotton jacket he had lost and wrapped it around his body to keep out the cold. He looked like a defeated soldier who was fleeing.Facing Li Yuanyin's condescending question while sitting on the horse, he immediately licked his face and said: "This general, the humble post is the former Ming guerrilla Yang Guohai, and the chief soldier Tu Guobao is my own uncle.

I have always admired the prestige of Emperor Yongchang, but I have never had the opportunity to join His Majesty. This time these Jian slaves attacked Cao County, the humble officials made up their minds to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.The one who was killed by the general just now was Jiannu Xianghongqi Hanjun Niulu Erzhen Lu Fengchun. The reason why he wanted to kill the humble officer was because the humble officer tried to persuade the Hanjun Jiala Erzhen Zhao Yihe to no avail, so he killed this old man out of righteous indignation traitor..."

The corners of Li Yuanyin's eyes twitched. He didn't want to hear any long speeches, so he interrupted him and said, "Stop, I don't know if this counts as an uprising before the battle. When I take you back to see Brigadier Commander Bai, you go and talk to him." Let him talk."

Yang Guohai thought for a while, the current situation is indeed quite embarrassing, he said that he was the one who rebelled before the battle, but was chased and killed in the end, fortunately he was rescued by these Shunjun cavalry.If this family does not admit that they are an uprising, it seems that there is no problem in counting them as a surrender.However, now that he has made up his mind to join the Shun army, he will not be willing to just be a prisoner.

So he looked at Li Yuanyin and said anxiously: "This general, I think that this is the best time to take Cao County. The south gate of Cao County is guarded by my uncle's subordinates. Before the news of our uprising Pass it back to the city, I dare to ask the general to take down the south gate with me, I dare not compete with the general, but I can't bear to keep my uncle in the dark, I will go and say that I have defected to Dashun, out of filial piety. "

Li Yuanyin, who was still holding an indifferent attitude, actually wanted to go back and participate in the final battle to eliminate the Manchu cavalry, but since it is possible to win Cao County, it is another matter.

Li Yuanyin took a deep look at Yang Guohai and asked, "How many Manchus are there in the city now? Is the garrison in Cao County still resisting?"

Yang Guohai immediately explained: "There are only about 100 Manchus left in the city, mainly the guards of the coach Aixinjueluo Bahana, and there are more than [-] Han army flags, and the next is my uncle's man Ma Yue. One thousand and five hundred. The garrison in Cao County is still resisting in the county government and has not surrendered."

Li Yuanyin took a deep breath, called a cavalryman and said to him: "You go and inform Brigadier Bai, and say that this team of Qing soldiers has gone back. In addition, Yang Guohai, the guerrilla of the Qing army anyway, said that he would go to persuade his uncle Tu Guobao to go back anyway. , I will open the way for the army, please Brigadier Bai follow up as soon as possible."

Then Li Yuanyin said to the younger brother on the side: "Jianjie, go and tell Yuantai to follow up and be my backup. If you can deceive the south gate, I will enter as soon as possible. If there is no ambush, I will be on the city wall." Send him a signal..."

Li Yuanyin then asked someone to take Yang Guohai with him, gathered three teams of cavalry and ran towards the south gate of Cao County.When Bai Bangzheng received the news that the cavalry was sent back, both teams of cavalry had disappeared from his sight.

Although Bai Bangzheng was unhappy, he also knew that such an opportunity could not be easily let go. He immediately ordered the two infantry battalions to form a column, and then rushed towards the south gate of Cao County. , And took care of the surrendered Han army bannermen, and did not leave anyone to take care of them.

The three-mile road is only a matter of minutes for the cavalry running at full strength. The fleeing Han army flags on the road ran away when they saw the cavalry rushing behind them, and Li Yuanyin didn't pay attention to these miscellaneous fish. There is only the city of Cao County.

Although the Qing army guarding the gate was very surprised that Yang Guohai ran back with a group of cavalry, Yang Guohai declared below that he was ordered by his uncle to bring these cavalry back to the city. They still opened the door obediently.If you spoil the good deed of Lord Chief Soldier, you will lose your head.

So Li Yuanyin swaggered into the city with fifty riders, seized control of the south gate, and let Li Yuantai's fifty riders in too.At this time, Li Yuanyin finally believed that this was not a trap, so he agreed to Yang Guohai to persuade his uncle, and said that he would only wait for an hour, and if Yang Guohai did not come back within an hour, he would treat the other party as a failure.

For the sake of Yang Guohai calling to open the south gate, Li Yuanyin kindly reminded the other party: "If your uncle really doesn't want to anyway, you can come back directly. With the credit for opening the south gate, His Majesty will definitely reward you a lot. your."

Yang Guohai retreated from the city wall full of thanks, and then led a group of soldiers guarding the gate along the streets to the county government office in the city.At this time, the outer wall of the county government office guarded by the Shun army was already dilapidated. After many trials, Tu Guobao had almost figured out the distribution of the number of guards in the county government office. He stood on the stone bridge directly facing the county government office, facing his own Cao Hu, deputy general of the Chinese army, said: "These thieves seem to have no gunpowder. Later, I will lead people to attack from the gate of the county government. You attack from the southeast corner, and you must open the gap in the outer wall. There is no outer wall. , they can only retreat into the inner hall, and then they don’t need to attack, just throw torches and burn his mother..."

Several days of fighting also exhausted Tu Guobao's subordinates, so no one raised any objections to the burning of the soldiers and civilians in the county government.But at this moment, a soldier quietly walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Tu Guobao subconsciously glanced at the officer of the Han Army Banner who was supervising the battle, and then said calmly, "Everyone, go get ready now. Lieutenant General Luo, take Master Sun to the attic over there and let him watch us." How to break the county government."

Niu Luer Zhensun with the red flag didn't think too much about applying for the job. He just cupped his hands at Tu Guobao and said: "I have seen the hard work of Tu Zongbing today, and I will definitely not bury your credit. Then I will wait and see how the Tu Zongbing will succeed.”

Deputy General Luo hurried to the side to lead the way for Sun Yingpin. After watching the two leave, Tu Guobao called Cao Hu of the Chinese army to go to the shop on the side. A person walked out from the shadow, and he said in surprise: "Didn't you go out of the city? Why are you back?"

Yang Guohai smiled at Cao Hu, and said to the gloomy uncle beside him: "I voted for the Shun Army, and Zhao Yihe was killed by me. I guess Bahana will know after a while. Uncle, let's Take Bahana anyway."

Tu Guobao suddenly reached out his hand and pulled out the saber from Cao Hu's waist, making a gesture to chop Yang Guohai. He lowered his voice and cursed: "Anyway, I'm going against your mother. We killed so many Shunjun, you let us anyway? I Let's kill you little bastard first, then..."

Chapter 344 The Battle of Cao County Eleven

Yang Guohai knelt down on the ground with a puff, hugged Tu Guobao's thigh and cried, "My nephew is also thinking about my uncle. The six hundred Mongolian cavalry were trapped by the Shun army, which shows how powerful the Shun army is. If I don’t change the court as soon as possible, uncle thinks those Manchurians will take uncle with them on their way…”

At this time, Cao Hu also tightly held Tu Guobao's arm holding the knife, and nervously persuaded: "My lord, calm down, calm down, if my nephew really wants to harm us, he will not run into the city at this time to persuade you gone."

Tu Guobao struggled lightly a few times, then threw his saber on the ground as a gesture, kicked his nephew away, and then sighed and said: "You are trying to trap me in infidelity. "

"..." Cao Hu couldn't take Tu Guobao's words for a while, he just persuaded the commander-in-chief to calm down and not cut off his own nephew in a fit of anger, but he didn't say anything else.

But Yang Guohai was very clever. He quickly saved his uncle's thigh again, and then continued his uncle's words: "The crown prince is in the south, and it is right for my uncle to be loyal to the crown prince. Openly occupying the Forbidden City in Beijing, is this considered aid? It is clearly a wolf's ambition."

This time Tu Guobao did not kick his nephew again, he frowned and pondered for a long time before asking: "This time the general who led the troops here is the general of the Shun Army? Are you sure Cao County can't defend?

In fact, it is not a big problem if Cao County cannot be defended. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops around the Nine Kings this time. Such a failure is just a little bit of damage.If I protect Master Bahana and go back..."

Yang Guohai hastily interrupted Tu Guobao and said, "Uncle, is he confused? It's not a problem that Cao County can't be defended. The problem is that the six hundred Mongolian cavalry of Kerkun are lost. With the military law of Manchuria, Bahana You may not be able to protect yourself this time, but you can protect your uncle? My son is worried that my uncle will become a scapegoat when he goes back."

Tu Guobao was stunned for a moment, this was what he was most worried about.Although Manchuria is small, its internal struggles are not inferior to those of Ming Dynasty. However, Ming Dynasty is mainly a struggle among civil servants, while Manchuria is a struggle within the Aixinjueluo clan.Not being able to defeat Cao County is already a crime. Abandoning the soldiers of the Six Hundred and Eight Banners, and then a group of Han troops escorted Bahana back, even the kings of the White Banner would find it difficult to defend Bahana.

In the past few months, although these generals of the Ming army who surrendered have not yet fully integrated into the military and political system of the country of Manchuria, they have also gained some preliminary understanding of the operation of power in this country.

The master of Manchuria is the Aixinjueluo clan. Except for the Aixinjueluo clan, the other Manchurians are just slaves of the Aixinjueluo clan.Of course, there are also ranks among slaves. The Manchus and Mongols are the high-ranking slaves, the Liaodong Han are the middle-class slaves, and the Guannei Han are the lowest-ranking slaves.The lowest servants cannot even be called masters because they are just slaves of slaves.

Therefore, the generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, such as Tu National Treasures, the most important thing right now is to enter the flag. After entering the flag, they can be separated from those Han people in the pass, and thus become the real Manchurians.

Regarding the matter of entering the flag, Tu Guobao has no resistance complex. After all, if a general of Ming Dynasty wants to be a civil servant's dog, it depends on whether he is in a good mood.In comparison, being a slave to the Aixinjueluo family is not a humiliation.Yuan Chonghuan killed a general like Mao Wenlong who had made great achievements in returning to the soil, and the Emperor Ming also gave his approval afterwards.Civil officials also said that it was good to kill because Wen Long was domineering.

After seeing Mao Wenlong's fate, the generals still want to serve the Ming Dynasty, so they are out of their minds.So when Li Zicheng marched eastward, the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty voted directly, and only a few newly appointed Wu Jinshi resisted for a while.Surrendering was a bit difficult for the first time, but there was no hesitation the second time. Seeing that Li Zicheng was dying, Tu Guobao naturally chose to surrender to Manchuria.

To be honest, although Manchuria practiced a strictly hierarchical slavery system, the treatment of the army was much better than that of Ming Dynasty.On Daming's side, the army is probably a group that can't live without, but is despised by the whole country, because the army spends too much money but can't make the world peaceful.But in Manchuria, the country was set up for the army. Meeting the needs of the army is the top priority in the country. The army is the most respected existence in the country. Only those who cannot serve as soldiers will choose to study and become officials.

If he hadn't been in such a predicament, Tu Guobao really didn't intend to betray Manchuria, because he felt that Manchuria is much better than Ming Dynasty now. It is almost the same as the Tu Emperor, and there is no need to worry about being impeached by civil servants and gentry.

But now, even if he escorted Bahana back, he might not be able to escape the charge of losing the army.Just when Tu Guobao was in a state of confusion, Yang Guohai said again: "The generals of the Shun Army who came seem to be Bai Bangzheng and Zuo Guangxian, but it is said that Emperor Yongchang has also arrived..."

Hearing Bai Bangzheng's name, Tu Guobao looked indifferent, but he was just a lieutenant general of Xuanfu.Hearing Zuo Guangxian's name, he was a little moved.When he heard the name of Emperor Yongchang, he finally became angry, and he really kicked Yang Guohai again, and then said: "Are you getting dizzy after calculating the accounts? Emperor Yongchang is outside the city, why didn't you say this sooner..."

Yang Guohai was a little surprised by this kick, but out of the corner of his eye, he fell on Cao Hu, and when he noticed the nervous look on the other side's face, he realized in his heart that they were still full of fear of Emperor Yongchang, although they talked about him on weekdays. Emperor Yongchang was not respectful.

Cao Hu, who originally seemed to be drifting with the tide, finally spoke to Tu Guobao at this time and said, "My lord, since Emperor Yongchang is outside the city, it is no wonder that the six hundred Manchurian cavalry are trapped, and now the south gate is being blocked by Shunmen." The army is occupied, and our time is running out."

Tu Guobao didn't hesitate at this time, just asked: "We surrendered as soon as we surrendered, but what about the family members in the north? Should we leave a little room for Bahana to go back?"

Yang Guohai, who was kicked out, did not crawl back this time. He sat upright and strongly objected: "Bahana can't be let go. If you can't catch Bahana, what is uncle? Anyway, Bahana fled back alone. I’m afraid I’ll just push all the crimes to my uncle, and the family members of the soldiers will not be able to keep them. It’s better to capture Bahana, and then send the human road north to inform my aunt that they fled south, maybe there is still a chance..."

Cao Hu also echoed: "Young Master Nephew said that since we have to do it, I'm afraid we can't let them escape alone, otherwise our family members will suffer. Besides, the two of us have killed so many Shunjun soldiers." Soldiers, the soldiers and civilians of Cao County must hate us, if there is no great achievement in hand, Emperor Yongchang may not protect us."

Tu Guobao finally made up his mind and said: "Cao Hu, you call the other lieutenants and guerrillas over here, I want to ask them what they mean. Guohai, go and invite the representative of the Shun Army to come over and ask him to give me Soldiers explain, we surrender, no, anyway, the treatment after..."

At the same time, on the battlefield of Baliwan, the battle was coming to an end.Although Korkun was quick-witted, he put the horses on the periphery after dismounting and built a circular formation for defense.Although this restrained the cavalry attack of the Shun army, the Shun army did not only have cavalry.

After Zuo Guang led the two infantry battalions into the battlefield, the musketeers stood behind the van and approached the circle and fired, perfectly avoiding the bows and arrows of these Eight Banners soldiers.Seeing the appearance of these vans, Kerkun knew it was over, because Manchuria's shield car tactics were born out of the Ming army's chariot tactics. This tactic was used to restrain cavalry, bows and arrows, and firearms. After the shield car is enlarged and thickened, it can even withstand the small-caliber artillery of the Ming army.

No matter how sharp Manman's bow and arrow are, it is impossible to shoot through these carriage panels, and horses are relatively timid creatures. Although they can stand in place as a barrier under the comfort of their masters, they cannot withstand such attacks. A salvo of muskets.Caravans on the prairie can use camels to form a circle to resist the attack of horse thieves, because camels are docile and will not be scared as easily as horses.

So after the musketeers of the Shun Army stood behind the van and fired twice at the circle, the horses on the periphery of the circle scattered and fled, exposing the Manchurian soldiers directly to the muskets.

Kerkun noticed that although his subordinates looked at him with despair, none of them shouted to surrender. They just stood in front of him desperately, and then were lined up by Shunjun's muskets. Platoon's knockout.

After all, he still couldn't bear the death of his subordinates who had been fighting with him for a long time. After a long sigh, Ker Kun, who was in the center of the circle, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground, and then said to his left and right subordinates: "I can't do it for me alone!"

Zuo Guangxian then said: "I am worried that if you don't accept their surrender today, no one will surrender in the future. Isn't this just helping Aixinjueluo to stabilize the internal affairs? Didn't your majesty say before: We can't take the entire outside of the pass?" The population is our enemy, otherwise it will be very difficult for us to end this war.
