Chapter 998
Jirgalang finally got rid of those compromise factions that were dragging their legs, and without Bumubutai's constraints, he could show his strength.
After entering the pass, the policy of calming the people's hearts by civil officials led by Fan Wencheng was like putting a shackle on the Qing army.
The so-called preferential treatment of the Han people made the Eight Banners warriors restricted their hands and feet, and they lost their original "invincible" courage and retreated one after another on the battlefield.
Jiergalang believed that the peak of the Eight Banners' combat power was seven years ago. Huang Taiji led his army from Huangya Pass to the Fortress, conquered Yunzhou, Shunde, Hejian and other places, broke through 30 states and 66 cities. He seized 30 million taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, and more than 300,000 people.
That was Huang Taiji's sixth time in the Fortress and plundered, which allowed the Qing Dynasty's national strength to reach its peak. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had many famous generals, with strong soldiers and horses.
But later, Wang Xiao entered Liaodong with 30,000 cavalry, which turned the world upside down.
Later... the late emperor started his business before halfway, and the middle way collapsed.
Now, the family wealth that the late emperor has been conquered has been exhausted.
Jirgalang is determined to restore the Eight Banners' combat power...
When the Qing army arrived at Qian'an County, Yongping Prefecture, he immediately summoned Yue Le to discuss matters and sent generals to various places in Yongping to collect money and grain.
Along the way, the Qing army had been burning, killing, looting, and Yue Le saw it, but he was dissatisfied, but he kept turning a blind eye. At this time, he finally raised objections.
"Although we want to retreat to Liaodong, we have a chance to enter the Central Plains again. The emperor once issued an edict, 'This dynasty has established a stalemate in Yanjing, and all the soldiers and civilians in the world are all innocent.' No matter how big the plunder is, wouldn't it be a breach of trust in the people?"
Jirgalang did not argue with Yue Le, but just sighed: "The clan talent has withered, but the emperor is still young. I am old and I am not able to assist in the government alone. When I return to Shengjing, I have to let you be the prince of the government. What to do in the future, you think about it yourself."
Yue Le fell silent after hearing this.
As soon as he moved his butt, he immediately understood that he had to rob the money and food and the population to go back.
First, I left Beijing in a hurry and didn’t bring much supplies. It would be fine if I went back to Shengjing by Shanhaiguan. If I detoured the Kalaqin grassland, I had to bring more money and food;
Second, the autumn harvest has just passed, and it is time to collect grain. It is better to grab these grains and grass for Wang Xiao, so that the national strength will increase and disappear;
The three principles can enhance the morale of the army, wipe out the sluggishness of the army, and remind the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners of the glory of the previous emperor.
Four, the two completely different situations of escaping from a family dog, or returning home with a full load...
In short, there are too many benefits. In comparison, my kindness and righteousness seem ridiculous.
After becoming the Prince of the Administration, his vision was much higher than that of a Baylor.
Yue Le felt a little sad, and he thought of Dorgon whom he once looked down upon.
But now, he himself has become another Dorgon...
~~
Fulin didn't know that the monarch's centralization that he wanted to achieve throughout his life, the regents of the other surname ministers that his mother tried to plan for him were all destroyed in his hands.
When facing the opponent Wang Xiao, the Qing Dynasty retreated to its more familiar systems and tactics.
But I have to say that this is very effective in a short period of time.
Jirhalang promoted a group of royal family members. In addition to Yue Le, the most outstanding among the younger generation, there were also Luo Luohuan, Husai, Murhu, Sabi and others, all of whom were the third and fourth generation descendants of Nurhaci.
When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, they are not as good as the mighty generals like Chu Ying, Dai Shan, Manguertai, and Ajige who fought with Nurhaci.
But looking at the present day, they are still one of the most good young people in war.
Fulin looked at his uncles, brothers, nephews, and nephews in his twenties and thirties... and felt the sincere unity of the Aisin Gioro family and was very inspired.
But Bumubutai disturbed his mood again...
On this day, the kings Bele discussed the matter again. Fulin was the youngest and had the highest status. He sat in the upper head and did not speak. Jirhalang and Yue Le presided over the military discussion.
A letter was sent back and reported that Bumubutai ascended the throne and became emperor.
BumuButai not only sent them a letter of nationality, but also accompanied it with a decree.
The edict was issued to the Dagan Dynasty to establish the Yanjing and inherit the orthodox world. Guangping Prefecture was a land under the rule of Dagan. Also known as the Qing army was "You and others to build the barbarians", and they were asked to invade the Dagan land and destroy the Dagan ministers and officials. Finally, they sternly warned them...
"They are rampant and shock the capital. If you keep the confusion and do not rebel, you will set fire in Kunshan and burn both jade and stones. Don't say that I am not sure what I said!"
“…”
Jirgalang, Yue Le and others looked at each other and felt puzzled.
——Is this crazy woman’s brain broken?
Jierhalang sneered, took over the edict, and threw it out of the tent.
"Ha, I'm soaking in the monkey."
"Yelang is extremely arrogant, ridiculous." Yue Le also shook his head and ignored it.
Luo Luohuan said, "Okay, let Wang Xiao attack Yanjing first, we snatch Jizhen and calmly retreat to the outside of the pass..."
Soon, another explorer entered the tent and reported: "The Queen Mother... No, Bumubutai sent more than a thousand Green Camp troops to... to attack us."
“…”
"No need to pay attention." Yue Le said: "Then the matter is discussed. At present, Tang Jie has broken through Juyong Pass. We should collect the money and grain as soon as possible and prepare to leave the customs..."
Fulin felt very angry.
Where can my mother usurp the throne of her son?! She also changed her name to Wang Yu and also named the evil seed as the crown prince... The more she thought about it, the more she felt disappointed.
He had previously said that Bumubutai was no longer his mother, and perhaps he had some anger, but on this day, he was completely disappointed with her.
That night, before Fu Lin fell asleep, a little eunuch whispered: "Emperor, the Empress Dowager has something to tell you..."
Unexpectedly, Fulin was furious and shouted: "Come on! Drag this slave who is carrying the master and kill him. Find out who is telling him about it!"
"Emperor, I'm wronged. The Empress Dowager just told you not to return to Shengjing from Shanhaiguan. He said that the Chu army must have ambushed... I really don't know anything about anything else..."
"You won't drag him down and kill him with a stick!"
"Please beg the emperor for kindness... I am just worried about the emperor..."
~~
When Yue Le heard the movement outside the tent, he turned over in armor and immediately sent someone to inquire.
He did not want to monitor the emperor, but he had to know any disturbances in the camp out of his habit of being a general.
After hearing the whole story, Yue Le couldn't help but ponder.
Even if Bumubutai did not remind Fulin, he also considered that Wang Xiao might use the navy to attack Shanhaiguan and prevent the army from returning to Liaodong.
Going north to Xifengkou and detour through the Kalaqin Grassland, it seems to be a better road.
But the journey was long and the food and supplies needed were not collected, and there were a lot of staff reduction along the way.
Also, who knew that the slave who was killed by the stick was really from Bumubutai? What if Wang Xiao made a noise and lied to him to go to Xifengkou?
Although I think this is impossible, Yue Le is now used to thinking about Wang Xiao in omnipotence.
"The emperor shouldn't have killed the slave directly, he should have been handed over to me for interrogation."
Thinking of this, he also felt a little complaining and ordered the servants to ask themselves first when they encounter such a thing.
At the same time, he sent someone to protect Fulin in order to prevent being assassinated...
~~
The Qing army was robbing money and grain from Guangping Prefecture, and constantly sent horses to inquire about the situation of Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan. They were preparing to retreat to Xifengkou at any time.
To put it simply, this actually requires a lot of tactical skills.
In other words, the Qing army generals dared to play like this.
If it were the men and horses of the Southern Chu, the cavalry and horsemanship were not very good, so they would definitely not be able to find out the movements of Northern Chu. They were happy to kill, burn, rob and rob, and they were easily surrounded by Northern Chu.
If it were the Daxi Army, the military discipline would be scattered and they would dare to rob, once the Chu army came, they would not have time to evacuate in an array, and they would easily be taken by the Northern Chu.
As for what kind of big karma... Yue Le did not comment at all, in his eyes it was a joke-like existence.
...
"The Chu army is here! The Chu army is here..."
The Qing army's provocation ran wildly on the plain, and several Chu cavalry behind him chased after him.
"Bang bang bang..."
The muskets kept ringing, and it was difficult to aim at such a fast speed. It took a long time to hear a horse's neigh, and the Qing army in front was finally shot down under the horse.
However, a ruthless smoke rose quickly on the temporary watchtower in the distance.
"Jianlu discovered us!" Chu Qi shouted, "Hurry, repay Wuding Hou, Jianlu lit the wolf smoke..."
After a while, the earth started to shake.
Rows of Chu troops ran past the plains at lightning speed, as if they were rushing like the Yellow River, and the long dragon chased lightning.
A flag waved in the wind, and wrote "The Great Chu Dingxi General Wu Ding Hou Tang".
...
"What did you say?!"
Jirgalang stood up in panic, "Tang Festival is coming? So fast?"
"He didn't go to the capital, he was already a hundred miles away." Yue Le was quite calm.
"Have the troops who harvested food returned? Do you have time to retreat to Xifengkou?"
