Chapter 43: The Left and Right Join the Division

At the end of the 4th day of the 10th month of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Zhao Hai and his group, who had breakfast, drove the long convoy to continue to go west. Less than half an hour after the convoy was moving forward, snowflakes floated in the sky, and the snowflakes fell one after another. In just a moment, it turned into heavy snow. The bitter northwest wind was like a knife, constantly cutting on everyone's faces, splashing sparks~~~

Everyone walked forward silently, leaving only various footprints on the snow, and the footprints were flooded by the wind and snow in just a moment~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wu Aheng, the governor of Ji and Liao of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Guojun, general, were both killed by the right wing army of the Qing Dynasty. General Yangwu and Beileyue were proudly waiting for the left wing army in Jingdong.

The bitter northwest wind blew countless flags, and Yue Tuo walked out of the luxuriously decorated wing room to welcome the commander of the left wing army. Time was not long, and the heroic general, commander of the left wing army, Prince Rui Dorgon came late, surrounded by hundreds of elite Goshhas.

As the eldest son of Dai Shan, Prince Heshuo Li, Dorgon's uncle Yue Tuo took the lead in dismounting and bowed to Dorgon who was riding on the horse. Dorgon slowly dismounted and helped Yue Tuo up. The two began to greet each other enthusiastically. Yue Tuo was half a seat behind and guided Dorgon to the lobby of the government office~~~~

Two days later, the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops who had joined forces divided into eight groups, starting from the foot of Taihang Mountain in the west and ending at a wide front hundreds of miles on the banks of the Grand Canal in the east, heading south, and the soldiers pointed to it all in powder~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zhao Hai led everyone to the west, marched for more than 1,230 miles on thirty-five days, and arrived in Tai'an County in Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong on the ninth day of November. Tai'an County is more than 200 miles away from Jinan, where the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Office are located. Tai'an County is named after Mount Tai. Mount Tai is the place where emperors of all dynasties are ceremonial and sacrifices. It has a strong cultural atmosphere and is the leader of the Five Mountains~~~~

Mount Tai stretches for more than 400 miles from east to west and more than 100 miles from north to south. There are many peaks and dense vegetation. Zhao Hai and his group did not enter the county town, but camped by a small river located in Tai'an County. Everyone dragged their tired bodies and began to carry out various camping and camping in an orderly manner~~~

The staple food at night is still fish, but because it is far away from the sea, it has become freshwater fish that breaks through the ice. In addition to the fish, there is also a large pot of fragrant and rich noodles goose soup. Everyone was tired and had a big appetite. They drank the fragrant goose soup happily and ate the golden grilled fish in big mouthfuls~~~

Everyone who had eaten and drank began to fetch water to wash their feet. When their sleepy feet fell into the wooden basin filled with hot water, everyone looked satisfied and their fatigue quickly retreated~~~

After Zhao Hai took Xiao Huang, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to inspect the camp, he began to count the supplies under the bright moonlight: "I cooked some salt on the beach, and the salt reserves reached 400 kilograms; 1,800 kilograms of soybeans; 1,180 kilograms of black beans."

"Along the way, I bought it and used it, and there were still 40 kilograms of egg reserves; four fat pigs and five fat sheep were marinated by smoke and marinated, and the reserved bacon reached 2,050 kilograms."
