"Say Chihei, Sai Chihei..."

An eunuch trotted in from outside the door, and Huang Taiji spoke:

"Go and bring two Franc short muskets from the Zheng family."

The eunuch trotted out again, and Huang Taiji said with a smile:

"It's a Western thing. When the Zheng family came to contact us last year, there were two gifts in Prince Rui's mansion. It's useless to keep it here. If you want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you always have to have some self-defense things. It's useful to take it away."

Soon, the two muskets were taken over. The short muskets as gifts were extremely exquisite, shining, carved with complex patterns, and gold and silver were used on the handles, and gems were inlaid with gems. They were valuable. Today, they rewarded them again and again. These two muskets were just a filling head, and Abatai was a little numb.

Seeing that Huang Taiji was already a little tired, Abatai quickly gave up with gratitude and went to do not mention it.

Abatai left, but Prince Li Daishan was still staying in the room. Watching him go out, the eunuch put down the curtain. Prince Li Daishan waited for Huang Taiji to recover slightly before asking in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, just let Haoge go for something like entering the pass and hunting. There is really no one... Yuetuo is also loyal and reliable."

Hearing this, Huang Taiji immediately laughed. Yue Tuo was Dai Shan's son, and people were indeed selfish. However, when Haoge thought of this son who was recognized as the heir, Huang Taiji's nose heated up and blood flowed down again. He reached out to hold a clean towel and covered his nose, and said in a muffled voice:

"The two yellow flags are the foundation. Haoge is not justified in the Zhenglan Banner, and he has always been unable to manage it well. Let him stay in the two yellow flags and manage it well. If the Zhenglan Banner is introduced, we will be in charge. I am afraid that others will make trouble. Abatai has no foundation. He is originally from the Zhenglan Banner. It just so happened that Dorgon has always looked down on him. Who else can he rely on besides relying on us? With Oboi on the two yellow flags, I don't worry."

Although the Qing Jurchens were all people of the Qing Dynasty, their predecessors were the continuous annexation of various tribes by the Jianzhou Jurchens. There were quite a lot of remnants of Yehe, Wula and other tribes that were annexed. Under the jurisdiction of the Later Jin and Qing dynasties, they could not be completely integrated.

In order to manage and operate more efficiently, Nurhaci created the Eight Banners system. Each Banner, with a slight shadow of each tribe at that time, is not a harmonious situation where you and I are inseparable from each other.

Moreover, Nurhaci's Jianzhou Jurchens themselves are not a solid piece of the matter. Nurhaci kills his younger brother Shurhaqi in the circle and Huang Taiji in the circle forbidding Amin. Now the power of the Eight Banners is expanding, the original balance is slowly broken, and they are guarding against each other and hostile to each other. This is all about the internal conflicts within the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens, Yehe, Ula and other tribes, and there is also the game of matriarchal power behind Nurhaci's descendants.

As for these brothers who have Nurhaci's blood descendants, they are brothers, and some are brothers of the same father and mother. Who would still care about it? Who would still care about family affection? Now the banner owners are all leaders and spokespersons of the banner.

Huang Taiji did not expect his body to collapse so quickly, and Dorgon's faction rose so quickly. In desperation, he could only fight against one faction.

"Haoge's two yellow flags, second brother, your two red flags, Abatai will take charge of the blue flag at that time. Jirgalang has always been looking at the style of the wind, and will definitely stand on our side and steadily suppress Dorgon and the others. It should be able to maintain it."

After a busy day, Huang Taiji was also a little tired...

After the Li and Luo coalition forces entered Kaifeng Prefecture, the army swept south all the way, and the prefectures and counties along the way were captured. In mid-April, the refugees were already stationed in the Linying area. This place was considered a node. They went north to fight with most of the Ming army in Zhuxian Town. They went south to follow the Ying River to enter Nanzhili.

The place where the refugee army stationed was very important. He was stationed here, and the Ming army in Zhuxian Town had no other moves except to stick to it.

The soldiers and horses in Nanzhili were all panicked. The news here was very informative. Zhang Xianzhong was in Yingshang, Ge Zuo's fifth camp was in Huoqiu, and he was in stalemate with the 20,000 imperial guards led by the eunuch Lu Jiude, the eunuch in Nanjing.

The soldiers and horses of Zhongdu in Fengyang are still able to defeat the land. Liu Liang assisted Cai, Huang Degong in Dingyuan, and Lu Jiude in Shouzhou. The three families had only more than 40,000 troops. The opponents had about 200,000 troops and the fifth camps of the Gate Zuo were in total. They had fought several times but suffered no losses.

Liu Liangzuo was even a figure who was born in the rebel army and was very familiar with the tricks of the refugee army. Not only did he fight a lot, he still gained a little advantage.

However, the eunuch Lu Jiude, the governor of Nanjing, was so angry that he cursed every day. He thought that I was originally suppressing thieves in Huguang and Fengyang, and transferred to Nanjing. He thought that pie fell from the sky and could live a comfortable life. Who would have thought that the war would burn after not long after. The damn Duke of Wei, Xu family, did not send troops to guard the Nanjing city. The outer edge could not be restrained, and you still had a ghost in your Nanjing city.

Fortunately, Lu Jiude and Ding Qirui were different. They also led their troops to fight the old battleground and brought their soldiers to the scene. Although they were reluctant, they were not vague. At least they were well guarded.

These imperial guards in Nanjing were also slightly different from the soldiers and horses in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. They were rich in the area and were not as frustrated as other places. Some of the nobles and generals in Nanjing came back in the southwest and practiced more diligently on weekdays.

In addition, the Duke of Wei and the veteran nobles and generals who have been in Nanjing for generations, all have some military and military generals who have used as capital. The combat effectiveness of the Nanjing imperial guards should not be underestimated. At least it is enough to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Battalion of the Left.

But for 40,000 people, it is not easy to completely repel the opponent. There is also a headache. After many years of Chongzhen's natural disasters, the northern provinces were in good weather. However, the famine broke out in Nanzhili and Zhejiang. They repelled Zhang Xianzhong and Ge Zuo Fifth Battalion several times, and even killed a lot. They were immediately retracted by the other party and revolted back again by relying on the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

No matter how many troops led by Lu Jiude could support it, he heard that nearly one million troops of the Luo coalition were stationed in Linying, and he could not judge the situation from the south to the north. The eunuch Lu Jiude was also anxious.

Your hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in the south of Kaifeng City, and you keep saying that you are going to fight the thief army, but the millions of troops are coming to Nanzhili now. How can you stop them with these troops?

The entire towns in Nanzhili and Zhejiang were also extremely frightened. In the southern Zhili and Zhejiang areas, almost all the central officials of the Ming Dynasty came from these two places. Many of the family property and family members were not taken to the capital. When they heard that they were threatened by refugees, their relatives and families desperately wrote letters to the capital for help. The officials were naturally staring at them, fearing that the refugees in the south of the Yangtze River were fleeing into it.

As a result, the eunuch Lu Jiude, the governor of Nanjing, had not yet arrived at the capital, and the capital had already moved to Henan, urging the champions in the south of Kaifeng to go out and take the initiative to fight with the bandits.

Generals such as Zuo Liangyu could ignore the imperial decree and make excuses in every way, but the supervisor Ding Qirui could not. Such civil servants as him were killed by the court, so how dare they not obey the order?

The commander Ding Qirui summoned the governor of Baoding, Yang Wenyue, general Zuo Liangyu, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozheng, and Fang Guoan claimed to have 400,000 troops and horses, all heading south, preparing to fight the bandits.

Li and Luo's coalition forces, who had been stationed in Linying for nearly ten days, can finally determine that Shandong troops did not appear recently. Guide and Xuzhou only had seven battalions of troops, and their garrisons were insufficient, so let alone attack.

The Li and Luo coalition forces, who were relieved, headed north from Linying Baying on April 25, proving that their early advance along the west side of Kaifeng Prefecture was just a feint. At Linying's position, if Shandong troops were about to appear, they should have stationed a large army in Guide Prefecture.

However, Shandong did not take any other actions except for common sense deployment and defense. The Li and Luo coalition forces were prepared for this result and the army began to head north.

The northward advance of the refugee army made the supervisor Ding Qirui breathed a sigh of relief. Although these 400,000 troops were the largest army gathered in recent years, Zuo Liangyu and Hu Dawei and other generals had the possibility of retreating at any time.

The general Ding Qirui was no longer familiar with military affairs when he was in the capital. He led his troops outside for so long, and he knew that these generals were unreliable. He usually burned, killed, looted, and fought for the first place. When he was fighting with refugees, he ran away, but no matter what the friendly forces were.

The longer you go south, the more likely you are to be dispersed halfway. Since the refugee army is heading north, it is better to set up a battlefield first and wait for the decisive battle.

The battlefield of the decisive battle was still the pre-set Zhuxian Town. The two governors and four generals gathered their troops and camped for forty miles in Zhuxian Town, entrenched in the land, waiting for the Li and Luo coalition forces.

The residents around Zhuxian Town fled, not to avoid the upcoming war, but to avoid the officers and soldiers stationed here. The term "soldier disaster" has a new explanation.

Li and Luo did not encounter any obstacles on the road to the north. The troops who fought against the vanguard were the Liu Yuanying, a large group of Henan who started in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The leader of the Xiao Yuan camp was Yuan Shizhong, who was a famous general on the ground in Henan. This was also the reason why he was appointed as a vanguard. Under the power of the troops of the camp, all the prefectures and counties along the way collapsed and fled, and they did not dare to be sharp.
