Chapter 282 Good slave

War is not a child's play, it is killing. It is the decisive factor for the survival of power, the continuation of race, power and interests.

Soldiers are the major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.

Therefore, both sides of the war tried their best and used all means to win.

Strategies and strategies emerge at the historic moment.

The so-called strategy, in the final analysis, is to use one's own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Exploit your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, hide your weaknesses, look for and lure out the enemy's flaws, find his weaknesses, and then kill him with one blow.

Hauge has been driven out of the power center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty by Dorgon. Dorgon has not discussed any subsequent plans with Hauge during this battle over national destiny.

But Hauge knew that Dorgon would never confront King Na Xia easily.

However, no matter what strategies and calculations Dorgon had, in Hauge's view, there were only two directions. One is Guan Ning and the other is Horqin. At most, add one Tumut.

The ultimate goal is to break into the customs. Prove to their vassals that the Manchus were still invincible. To interrupt the rising trend of the so-called King of Xia, it is best to drive him away from the north and win the battle for national destiny.

But now they don't know the Xia King's deployment in the pass, or even how many troops the Xia King has.

The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy enables you to be victorious in every battle.

After the Shanshan massacre, the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost the brightest eye in the pass. Therefore, the first step in the battle for national destiny was to find out the details of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's enemies.

Sending detailed operations is only one of them. Being good at using the power of the army to test the enemy's details is the right way.

Therefore, the usefulness of Hauge is reflected.

Hauge's eyes first paused at Ningyuan for a moment, then swept all the way to the many guard and military towns on the Guanning front line, and finally landed on Shanhaiguan.

"Wu Sangui is an uncertain factor." Hauge pondered: "This Ming court's army is rootless, but its more than 20,000 soldiers and horses cannot be underestimated. We must first solve this hidden danger and ensure smooth flow along the way."

There was a hint of thought on his rough face, and after a moment he said: "Here comes someone!"

Then a soldier came in: "Master!"

Hauge said: "Go and give Wu Sangui an ultimatum to surrender within two days. If not, no chickens or dogs will be left behind."

"twitter!"

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Master, Zu's birthday has arrived!"

Hauge was startled, stopped the armored soldier who issued the ultimatum, and said: "Let him come to see my king."

After a while, Zu Dashou was taken outside the tent.

Said: "My ancestor is celebrating his birthday and I would like to see Prince Su."

Hauge sat in the tent and said, "Come in."

Zu Dashou entered as he was told, looking neat and tidy, hunched over and not daring to look up at Hauge. As a slave, you cannot look directly at your master.

Especially a master who never wanted to see Han people.

Within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were two factions. One advocated leveraging the strength of the Han people, while the other was extremely repulsive. The two slave chiefs Huang Taiji and Dorgon had great ambitions and knew that they must rely on the strength of the Han people to conquer the Central Plains. People like Hauge are extremely repulsive, believing that the Eight Banners are enough elite soldiers to run rampant in the world, and they have never wanted to see the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

While in Shengjing, countless traitors who surrendered were whipped, beaten and humiliated by Hauge. You can beat them if you want, scold them if you want, and even play with the traitor's wives and concubines when you feel like it.

Zu Dashou was insulted by Hauge many times.

Hauge said in a rough voice: "The late Emperor Ama ordered you to surrender Wu Sangui. It's already three months. What's the result?"

He looked at Zu Dashou, not wanting to see him, but suppressed his emotions.

Zu Dashou was startled when he heard this. He had never seen Hauge speak so calmly before. He couldn't help but think about it and knelt down and said: "This slave is about to give an order to Prince Su!"

When Hauge heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Did you already say that Wu Sangui has been surrendered?!"

Zu Dashou said: "With the reputation of the late emperor and Prince Su, how can my nephew dare to disobey?"

Hauge laughed loudly: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, right? Three months is not a short time."

Zu Dashou said: "Your Majesty understands every detail, and I admire him."

He said: "It's really because my nephew is out of his mind and wants to vote for that bullshit King Xia."

"Oh?" Haug said, "Then how do you say you surrender him?"

Zu Dashou said: "It's a fluke. That bullshit King Xia is too tough. He wants my servant's nephew to surrender unconditionally and recruit his army. How can my nephew be willing? Without the army, a few people can kill him. Isn't that right? Aren’t you just letting yourself be slaughtered?”

Hearing this, Hauge couldn't help but feel the same.

After Huang Taiji's death, two of the three flags that originally belonged to his father and son were taken away by Dorgon, leaving only the Zhenglan flag, which made Hauge feel quite insecure.

He nodded: "So that's it. It seems that the so-called King Xia is nothing more than that."

Zu Dashou patted his horse and said, "What the prince said is true. Damn it, King Xia is just lucky. As soon as the prince's army arrives, he will be taught to turn his followers into ashes!"

"Okay." Hauge laughed: "That's good. I am an invincible Manchurian, but I am just a Han slave. Who do I think I am?!"

Zu Dashou's expression changed slightly, and then he said with a flattering smile: "The masters are extremely brave, what does this mean King Xia mean?"

Hauge asked: "Wu Sangui really surrendered?"

Zu Dashou said: "Your Majesty can send troops to Ningyuan at any time."

Hauge nodded: "You are a good slave. Go down and prepare. We will send troops to Ningyuan early tomorrow morning."

"twitter!"

...

Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Bingkun was sitting in the main seat, and all the principal officers and generals were present.

"Yongping Prefecture has been determined, and all the passes along the border from Xifengkou to Shanhaiguan have been included in the defense line." Zhu Bingkun said: "The next step is to recover the walled cities on the Guanning line and advance the front line to Jinzhou."

Defending the enemy outside the country's borders has always been Ying Yi's tactical thought. Moving the defense line outward is an established strategy.

Then one of the captains under the tent clasped his fists and said, "Captain, there are many fortresses on the Guanning front line, so I'm afraid we don't have enough troops."

This is inevitable.

Zhu Bingkun now has six general-level establishments under his command. The original four general-level establishments of his subordinate school captain, plus Bai Guangen and Ma Ke, are exactly six, totaling 18,000 people.

There are many Great Wall passes along the Yongping Prefecture. After the perfect defense line was established, the troops were dispersed and stationed at each pass. Now the main force remaining in Shanhaiguan is only 6,000 people.

From Xifengkou to Shanhaiguan, more than ten large and small passes are divided into four defense areas. Each defense area has several passes and is guarded by a troop of soldiers and horses.

As for the Guanning line, from Shanhaiguan to the east to Jinzhou, there are nearly 20 villages of various sizes. To recapture these fortresses and move the battle line to Jinzhou, only 6,000 people are not enough.

Zhu Bingkun smiled when he heard this and said: "The lack of troops is temporary."

He said: "In our Liaodong War Zone, we have two military-level establishments and four captain-level establishments. According to the plan, the total number of troops will reach 48,000. It is now March, and I just received the documents from the Ministry of War yesterday. The first batch The 12,000 people who have undergone preliminary training will be delivered to Shanhaiguan soon."

Since March, conscription has been in full swing. However, the Ministry of War had just been established and was slightly behind on recruiting troops. But three months later, the first batch of initially trained recruits in the north have begun to be distributed.
