Han’s Son is Not a Slave

When Wu Keshan's third brother, Sonomu, who was sealed off by Sakbel, was brought into the tent, he saw his elder brother Wu Keshan and a group of Mongolian kings just discussing something. He knew Lang Tan. When Lang Tan's father Wu Bai and the interior ministers Luo Shi, He Luohui and others were imprisoned, he still said a few words for Wu Bai at his sister Bumbutai, and Wu Bai did not talk to He. Luo Hui and the others were executed by the emperor together, and Lang Tan was soon reinstated, so the father and son Wu Bai and Lang Tan have always been very grateful to the Sonoki brothers.

Seeing that the eldest brother Wu Keshan, Esen, and Ozier all had ugly faces, and a group of people were arguing about something, Sonomu froze and asked Lang Tan in a low voice, "What happened?"

Esen is the king of Doluobingtu County in the left-wing rear banner of Horqin, and Oqier is the king of Doluo County in the right-wing front banner. Together with Wu Keshan, they are the princes closest to the Qing Dynasty in the 24th Horqin Banner.

"Three Baylors, Dexuni is defeated, the emperor wants the Mongolian army to move the camp immediately, and it is estimated that there will be a war in the next two days."

Lang Tan whispered the news of the defeat of Dekesuni, Duobi, Tong Guogang and other ministries to Sonomu. Sonomu was a little shocked when he heard it: "The Nanren can fight like this?"

Sonomu couldn't help but be surprised. Originally, Jidu, Yuele, and Roto were defeated, and they always felt that they were 108,000 miles away. In addition, the south was not conducive to cavalry fighting, so he thought that the Taiping bandits would only win if they occupied the land, but now First, there was the defeat of Guazhou, and then the defeat of Bianjiahekou. Although the defeats were not all Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, there were thousands of people. In the past, these thousands of cavalrymen were pulled out and placed anywhere, and they were all alone in the army, able to fight against the Ming army of more than 100,000, but now, they were defeated in the blink of an eye, which is too incredible.

Lang Tan shook his head and said nothing because he didn't know what to say. He only knew that when Ao Bai played the news, the master's hands were shaking. There was one thing he didn't dare to say to the Mongolian princes like Wu Keshan and Sonomu, and that was that the entire Dekesuni army was wiped out, and no one escaped. It doesn't matter, what matters is that the Taiping bandits actually killed all the prisoners, and tens of thousands of human heads were hung along the official road. According to the Manchu generals who saw them with their own eyes, they felt more frightening than seeing a ghost in broad daylight. .

The defeat of Bianjiahekou has made Shunzhi in the city of Yangzhou unable to sit still. At present, he has only tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers in addition to the more than 20,000 Manchurian cavalry brought by Obai from the Jiangbei camp. After the Taiping army won the Bianjiahekou victory, they did not shrink and rest, but moved forward step by step. Now their main force has entered the area of ​​Yizhenhekou, and they are firmly posing for a decisive battle.

Shunzhi couldn't understand why the thief Xiucai dared to go north boldly despite the fact that his troops were not dominant, and he wanted to fight the Qing army to the death. Perhaps Sony's reason can best explain the boldness of the thieves and talents, that is, they have fought so smoothly since they crossed the river that they are arrogant. This is a good thing for the Qing Dynasty, because those who underestimate the enemy are never the last victors.

Shunzhi agreed with Sony's statement, but it was sad to think about it. In the past, a dozen or so Manchu soldiers could chase thousands of Ming troops all the way to kill them, or drive thousands of green battalions to charge bravely. Now, the arrogant person has become someone else, and everything has been reversed. When he thinks of this, Shunzhi feels that his chest is very blocked.

When receiving the report from Obai, Shunzhi lost his mind at the time, and in a trance, he seemed to feel that he had returned to the moment when he received the news of Nikan's death in the Forbidden City eight years ago.

God can testify that although Shunzhi was in a trance, he had no intention of retreating. Since the thief show is going to fight, let's fight. A decisive battle is inevitable. He is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is impossible for him to flee back to Beijing when he loses two battles but still has the advantage. Perhaps, the myth of the undefeated thief will be shattered in a few days.

Shunzhi adopted the suggestions of Sony and Aobai, and mobilized all the troops and horses, all the troops and horses that could be transferred, the Manchu, Mongolian, Han troops, and the Green Battalion, as long as all the troops near Yangzhou were transferred, they would come to the south with the thief showcai. A real battle. Instead of the layers of defense measures taken after receiving the news of the defeat of Guazhou at the beginning, that decision now seems too stupid, giving up the strength and maneuvering advantages in vain, thus causing the disastrous defeat of the Bianjiahekou. If you lose again and again, it will feel like being cut off piece by piece with a knife, no matter how strong this person is, he will eventually be cut all over his body. If he concentrated heavily on the attack from the beginning, how many soldiers and horses would the thief Xiucai have to block Da Qing's crazy attack.

Aobai reviewed his mistakes to Shunzhi, and Shunzhi forgave him. In any case, Ao Bai is his loyal servant and the most capable servant. He also needs this minion to capture the thief Xiucai in front of him, and then stab him alive

In addition to the princes of Horqin's tribes, dozens of people from other tribes and Outer Mongolia's county kings and Baylor also came. The reason for the quarrel was that the Outer Mongolian gang wanted to replenish them with money, grain, and weapons from the Qing Dynasty before they were willing to go south. Wu Keshan But let them go now and wait until the south to add. The two sides could not argue, and later the prince of Duerbert's department, Atta, dealt with it, saying that some things should be distributed from Horqin and his tribe first, and then the princes of the foreign domain agreed to move the camp and send troops.

After solving the problem of the soldiers from Outer Mongolia relocating their camps, Wu Keshan remembered and asked Lang Tan where the main force of the Taiping bandits was now. Lang Tan said that the main force of the Taiping bandits is now gathering in the area of ​​Gaomin Temple on the west bank of the canal, which is less than 30 miles away from Yangzhou City.

According to the report of the visit to the horse, they saw at Gaomin Temple the banner of the pseudo-Qi Wang Dadudu, which was played by the Taiping bandits, so it was decided that the main force of the Taiping army was assembled there. The Aobai Memorial Report said that the Gaomin Temple area is located at the angle between Yizhenhe and the Grand Canal, where the Taiping bandits gathered their main force, apparently to take the initiative to cross the Yizhen River. There are various indications that the navy of the Taiping bandits are also moving along the Yizhen River, and they are even operating under the eyes of the Qing army on the shore.

Wu Keshan asked Lang Tan how many soldiers and horses the Taiping bandits in Gaomin Temple had. Lang Tan hesitated and said a number he thought was safe.

"Fifty thousand? How many?"

Wu Keshan frowned after hearing Lang Tan's report on the strength of the Taiping bandits. If his nephew had asked their Mongolian soldiers to serve as the main force to fight the Taiping bandits at Gaomin Temple, there would be no chance of winning, because the Mongolian army together would only be three. million people.

Seeing this, Lang Tan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This time, the Mongolian army will not fight alone. a great advantage.”

There is one thing Lang Tan did not say, that is, the main force of the Taiping army that Aobai reported was only more than 30,000. He reported a little more, but he was afraid that these Mongolian troops would hear that the more than 30,000 Taiping army could annihilate Dekesuni. More than 30,000 soldiers will be frightened and give birth to the meaning of retreating. The Ming army in the south may not be able to figure out the details of these Mongolian troops outside the mouth, only that they are as brave and good at fighting as the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, but Lang Tan is clear that these people are just robbers on horses, their fighting strength and will. Li is far from being the Mongolian Eight Banners. The reason why they were willing to be transferred to the customs was entirely because of the generous reward promised to them by the Qing Dynasty, and their grandfather and grandfather got a lot of money back then and basically had no losses, so they enthusiastically entered the customs. But let them know that they are facing a strong army, a strong army that wiped out tens of thousands of Manchu, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, most of these people will shrink their heads. It is most suitable to bully the soft and fear the **** them. Even if Wu Keshan and the Horqin people are not all willing to fight for the Qing Dynasty to the last soldier.

"So it's one hundred thousand to fifty thousand. Two to one?"

All the Mongolian princes breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard the news of the defeat in the south, they were really a little nervous. Now I heard that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was going to fight decisively, and his troops were doubled, and there were as many as 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, so naturally there was nothing to be afraid of.

"The emperor wants to fight?"

Sonoki confirmed again, Lang Tan nodded, the intention of the decisive battle inside and outside Yangzhou, and maybe even Taiping Kou was aware of it, there was nothing to hide.

Wu Keshan pondered for a while, then raised his hand and instructed the princes Baylor: "What are you still standing for? Why don't you hurry up and prepare to move the camp!" (To be continued.)
