142 Dorgon's Means (for Tang Tieguang 3/11)
Early the next morning, Dorgon led his troops back to Hebei.
Riding on the horse, he glanced at the scene in front of him.
Countless people in Jinan prefecture were tied up by the Qing Dynasty, escorted by infantry, and returned north on foot. On both sides of the road, the Qing cavalry followed and monitored. Further away, the Qing cavalry was also constantly galloping back and forth.
Suddenly, he saw a Ming people falling to the ground not far ahead, and the other people tied to him also fell.
Soon, there was a noise there and a faint sound. Dorgon understood Chinese and could basically hear the situation there.
"Mom, get up quickly, get up quickly, Jun Ye is here."
"June, okay, my mother is just too hungry, and she can leave immediately if she gives her a stutter."
"Ah... Jun Ye... don't..."
"mother……"
The crying suddenly stopped again and there was no movement.
Dorgon saw all this. He knew that it was his subordinates who went over to kill the woman who fell to the ground and her noisy son. He threw the body aside and saw it. But he did not stop it.
To be honest, he asked the soldiers below to do this. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty would be strict in military discipline, who would dare to violate military law?
At this time, Dorgon looked into the distance for a while, then turned his head and looked behind him, frowned, obviously not very happy with the current situation.
The reason is that a few days ago, just one day after the Jinan Prefecture was captured, the Ming Dynasty Yonggu Camp arrived, forcing him to order the robbery to be terminated in advance. Although the Jinan City was set on fire, he robbed a lot of supplies in the end.
At the beginning, in order to deal with the Yongwei Camp and other Ming troops, Dorgon had to transfer the military strength as much as possible to the back, and he was careful after driving away the Yongwei Camp.
However, he did not expect that after passing through Dezhou Prefecture, he encountered a small group of Ming troops and sneaked into the Qing army. They did not fight head-on with the Qing army, but instead took advantage of the Qing army's inattention and drove away the Ming people and caused chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to plunder the supplies robbed by the Qing Dynasty.
Dorgon has found out that these small Ming troops were the Ming generals under Gao Qiqian, who came to do this with their elite servants.
Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but curse in his heart: When he was against the battlefield, he didn't see how hard these Ming generals were, but now he is robbing money and is really desperate. He actually ignores the Qing Dynasty's horse exploration. He is really a group of robbers who want money but not life!
After many times, Dorgon had no choice but to transfer troops from behind to strengthen the defense in front. On several occasions, Dorgon was hesitating whether to force so many Ming people to go back?
The population from Jinan Prefecture was about 100,000, which led to a very long queue for returning north. In addition to various livestock supplies and a long convoy, it was at least ten miles long, which greatly increased the difficulty for the Qing Dynasty to detain them from returning north.
This has already allowed all kinds of vehicles to walk on the official road. The Ming people walked into the fields on both sides of the official road, and walked several rows to shorten the distance. Otherwise, the Qing army would not be able to come over to the custody area.
Thinking of this, Dorgon turned his head and looked around at the Qing warriors that could be seen around him. At a glance, they were all a little tired. Thinking about it, they had basically never had a good rest before raiding south to capture Jinan Prefecture and now returning to the north.
The Qing warriors are also human beings, not iron-clad land, and if they never get a rest, it will also have an impact on the combat effectiveness of the army! It should be three days to meet with Yuetuo and Dudu. After the reunion, you should be able to have a good rest, right?
When Dorgon was thinking this, he suddenly saw a team of fast horses galloping against the crowd along the official road, which made his face look particularly ugly. Now that the sky is sunny, are the Ming generals so shameless that they ran out to make trouble again?
Before, the Ming generals attacked in the early morning or evening when they were on the slump. However, at this time, not only did they re-deploy their troops, but it was already past the morning. They dared to run out. Do you really think that the Qing army is your Ming army?
Thinking of this, Dorgon was a little angry.
He was thinking that the team of cavalry had arrived at his side. After the leader dismounted, he immediately rushed over and knelt down and reported: "Report, General! Anping Beile has an urgent letter."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
Dorgon was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, it was the person from Du Du. When he thought of more than 200,000 people and animals there, he couldn't help but feel nervous and immediately opened and looked.
In the letter, Du Du reported on the war on his side, and also told him about the plot of Yue Tuo's reinforcements. He rushed here as quickly as possible to report and asked Dorgon what to do next?
Dorgon was shocked to see it. He did not expect that the Qin army was so powerful. According to Du Du's description, the Qin army had a very strong fighting will and could compete with the Qing Dynasty. It was obvious that the leader of the army was a man who could fight. If he failed to attack Du Du, he immediately turned around to attack the support.
Not only that, they also had self-knowledge, knowing that their strength alone could not eat Yuetuo's troops in one bite, so they used a plan to separate the infantry and cavalry of Yuetuo's troops and then ate the weaker infantry.
Although most of the infantry troops were composed of Han slaves, they were considered the Qing army. How long has it been since the Qing Dynasty been completely wiped out by the enemy like this? This time when he went back, Yue Tuo would probably be punished by the emperor! No matter what, the charge of negligent and careless command of the army could not be escaped.
Dorgon didn't care much about this. It should be Dai Shan who should be worried.
After reading the letter, he handed the letter to the guards beside him and told him, "Take it and let him come and discuss matters!"
Then, he frowned and began to think about things.
According to Du Du and Yuetuo's estimates, there were many casualties. It is estimated that the army that can fight is only more than 20,000. On his side, he has more than 10,000 follow the Diyong Guard. Judging from the current situation, only these two armies, about 30,000 are the opponents worthy of attention of the Qing Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Dorgon felt a little relieved. Fortunately, the Ming Kingdom only had 30,000 troops to fight, and other troops could not fight hard, so there was no need to pay special attention to it. I just don’t know how many troops that could fight like the Qin soldiers would have and when would they arrive?
After a little thought in his mind, Dorgon had an idea in his mind. He had gained enough of entering the pass this time. He couldn't get rid of it if he was greedy and he couldn't get rid of it. It's time to get out of the pass!
"Come on, I will pass on my military order!" Dorgon looked up at the generals around him and ordered loudly, "Among the people of the Ming Dynasty, those who are older than thirty-five and less than fifteen, will all be expelled from the team. Those who are weak and those who are unable to move will be expelled, and then the marching speed will be accelerated, and those who are lagging behind will be killed!"
"Your Highness, why do you want to expel it? Just kill it directly!" a Tartar leader asked in a little confusion.
After hearing this, Dorgon looked at him and explained: "Ming Kingdom hopes that we will kill them and expel them. Instead, Ming Kingdom will spend more energy and property to appease it, which will be more beneficial to our Qing Dynasty!"
When these Tartar leaders suddenly realized that His Highness, his wise and so on, then rushed to execute Dorgon's military order.
Of course, they wouldn't really have to ask about their age, but they would make a general idea, and they almost made a decision on whether to expel or not.
Then, Dorgon ordered another guard to rush to Dudu's side to reply, telling him that he would speed up his journey to get along with them and make the other side ready to get out of seclusion.
After finishing all this, when Dorgon looked up at the team in front of him, he saw many Ming people being expelled by his men.
Some of the people, some of their relatives, were still in the team, crying loudly when facing the separation of life and death, while some were expelled, thinking that they were going to kill them, and they knelt down and begged for mercy; of course, some ran away.
The marching force is obviously shortening. In this way, it can not only strengthen the defense of the team, but also increase the speed of the marching.
While he was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind. He couldn't help but frown and turned to look.
But it was Haoge who led his personal guards to gallop.
Before the people arrived, Haoge shouted loudly: "What's going on? These Han dogs were all used by the father's father to plunder back to Liaodong, why should they be driven away!"
Obviously, he came all the way and saw the Qing warriors expelling the Ming people.
"Didn't you read the letter? Reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived again. We have captured enough people and materials. If we don't expel these, we will die on the road. There is no need." Dorgon replied coldly.
Haoge was approaching at this time, sat down and signaled casually, which was a greeting to the coach. Then he asked dissatisfiedly: "Then why not kill them? There are too many Han dogs, and one can only be killed less!"
"Do you think it's good to see the corpses in the Yongwei Camp behind us, or do you think the people of Ming who are hungry and hungry to feed?" Dorgon asked a little disdainfully.
When Haoge heard this, he replied without hesitation: "Of course it's a corpse... well... then it's up to you!"
He was not a fool either. He answered from his own perspective at the beginning, but immediately came to his senses and stood on the side of the Yongwei Camp and thought about it. If he expelled these people and threw them to the Yongwei Camp behind him, the Yongwei Camp would definitely have a headache. The Emperor's Imperial Guard of the Ming Dynasty could not watch the Ming Dynasty starve to death in front of him, right?
Although he understood this, he did not want to bow to Dorgon, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Why is Yue Tuo so stupid? He actually lost five thousand infantry?"
"After returning to this matter, the emperor will make a decision!" Dorgon replied, and then his voice raised a little, "I asked you to come here, because I have something to do."
"What's the matter?" Although Haoge was unhappy with Dorgon's fingers at him, he was helpless and was the head coach after all, so he had to ask.
"Your troops will launch an offensive against the Ming army following before noon!" Dorgon said seriously, "Remember, this war is mainly about attacking the Ming army behind. It is best to kill them so that they will not dare to follow them anymore."
Speaking of this, seeing that Haoge wanted to speak, he waved his hand and added: "In this way, when the Yongwei Camp encounters the burden we throw to them, he can only deal with it by himself. It not only consumes their military rations, but also consumes their energy, and this tail can be removed."
When he heard that it was reasonable, Haoge did not dare to do the opposite in the matter. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not be able to forgive him when he went back. Therefore, he immediately took the order and left. Instead of fighting against the Yongwei Camp, this task would be very simple.
So, the Ming army everywhere who hid behind the Yongwei Camp and were determined to make contributions from the Yongwei Camp were immediately affected.
The Taurus cavalry, of course, were mostly Mongolian Eight Banners, suddenly bypassed the Yongwei Camp and launched a crazy attack on them.
These Ming troops had thought that the Tartar cavalry would attack them like this, without any precaution, and their combat power was extremely low.
So, before the Yongwei Battalion could send troops to rescue them, they were already defeated.
Although there were not many people killed and injured by the Tartars, who would dare to joke about their lives after such a blow? Therefore, in addition to running back immediately, the remaining areas were also far away, and there was no one to be afraid of being unsafe.
As a result, the Yongwei Battalion, which was left behind the Tatar army, was still following closely.
In the afternoon, the Yongwei Camp began to run into the people of Jinan Prefecture who were expelled by the Tartars.
Seeing the disciplined Tianzhi Powerful Brigade, these Jinan Prefecture people came to Yongwei Camp to ask for help even if they hid far away. There was no way. They were hungry and cold, and they were harmed by the Tartars around them. They could not find a place to eat and live. If they didn't come to Yongwei Camp, they would basically have to wait for a death.
At the beginning, whether it was Liu Yuanbin or Lu Jiude, they were very happy. This could be regarded as their credit, and they rescued the Ming people.
However, the more they walked north, the more people they gathered, they began to feel something was wrong. By the evening, the people they gathered were actually more than the number of their troops.
When the quarconian came to report with a sad face that if this continued, the food would not last for a few days, they felt that these people had become hot potatoes in their hands.
So, when they watched the people coming here continuously, they could see each other crying without tears.
As the powerful army of the emperor, it is impossible to leave these people alone and can only be placed in a nearby city. But in this way, I can only watch the Tartar army leave.
This is an open conspiracy, and they cannot solve it in a short time.
The Yongwei Camp actually didn't know that after Dorgon used this move, he immediately drew a large number of troops from the guards and launched a siege and suppression of a small group of Ming troops.
The sudden change in the situation caught the generals off guard, and many people suffered a great loss.
Just like that, Dorgon's army suffered less interference from the ground, and the speed of returning north was faster.
On the same morning, an important court meeting began on the capital.
