Chapter 285 Horqin

After giving up Ningyuan's defense, Wu Sangui's 25,000 troops gathered in the military camp in the city. There were elite Tatar soldiers patrolling around, obviously on guard.

After Wu Sangui met Haoge, he returned to the military camp. As soon as he entered the tent, he slammed his helmet on the desk: "The Donglu bullied me too much!"

He said: "Call the two or three confidants to me."

Not long after, several confidants came to the big tent.

Seeing that Wu Sangui was angry, they all tried to comfort him.

Wu Sangui said: "That Tartar chieftain says he is good, but he clearly regards me, Wu Sangui, as a slave. Not only is he very guarded, but he is also so bossy."

He told the story of his meeting with Hauge and said: "This Tartar chief may seem rude, but he is also somewhat scheming. He is not completely reckless. He also knows how to understand the details of King Xia."

The confidant said: "Fortunately, my uncle decided to surrender to the King of Xia. The Tartars are Tartars after all. If we surrender to the Tartars, we will have no roots and can only be the slaves of the Tartars."

Wu Sangui sighed: "Yes, you and I are Han people. The Tatars are barbarians. If the Tatars take over China, you and I will be tabooed by the Han people. After all, there are many Han people in the world. Although the Tatars are tyrannical, they are Not a fool either."

As he spoke, he cheered up: "My uncle is working with me, and I have handed over the defense of Ningyuan, and have initially gained the trust of the Tatar chieftain Haug. Next, I will follow his instructions and send people to find out the news. I will send orders to those few later. , send me troops as hard as you can, no matter the cost, we must find out clearly the Xia King’s troop deployment near Shanhaiguan in order to win the trust of the Tatar chieftain.”

Several confidants looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Wu Sangui added: "In addition, I have another idea."

At this point, he lowered his voice like a mosquito: "You and I both know that King Xia is invincible. On the frontal battlefield, even defection during war is just the icing on the cake for King Xia. To be in front of King Xia To win a lottery prize, you must have a worthy achievement."

Wu Sangui knew how powerful Xia Wang Yingyi's army was, and in fact the Tatars also knew it. Turg was defeated outside Shanhaiguan. Although Wu Sangui did not witness it with his own eyes, he sent Ye Bushou to spy on it. The Tatars attacked with all their strength this time, partly because they had no choice but partly because they still did not believe that the elite Manchu troops would be defeated. They deceived themselves and others, thinking that they were still so-called invincible.

In fact, if the Tatars had not sent troops to attack at this time, Wu Sangui would not have surrendered to the Tatars, and he would have surrendered to Ying Yi in the end. Wu Sangui is not a fool.

He was just greedy for power and couldn't bear to let it go.

"My uncle has found out clearly that the Tatars are attacking with the whole country, hoping to compete with the Xia King to determine the fate of the country. In addition to Hauge as the vanguard, there will be an army of 200,000 in the follow-up. Once Dorgon leads the army, The lair behind him will definitely be empty. If we take this opportunity to destroy the Tatar lair and kidnap the Tatar chieftain's relatives, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"

When several confidants heard this, they couldn't help but be tempted.

One person whispered: "Uncle, the Tatars are very defensive. How can we break away from the Tatars' eyes and attack their lair?"

Wu Sangui chuckled: "Didn't Hauge ask me to inquire about King Xia's military deployment? I will send more troops out. With those few to cover up others' eyes, only two of you four will stay with me, and the other two will take this opportunity to escape from the Tartars Sub-eyeliner..."

...

Horqin.

The Horqinduoyan tribe of Tatar began to marry Donglu as early as the era of the slave chief wild boar Pinurhaci. The old Tatar Manggusi married his daughter Zhezhe to Huang Taiji and began to fall in love with the Donglu. Later, Manggusi's son Buhe married his daughters Bumubutai and Hailanzhu to Huang Taiji. Alliance with Donglu.

Now in power in the Horqin tribe of Tartar is Wu Keshan, Buhe's son, who is also the brother of Bumubutai and Hailanzhu. He was named Prince Zhuoliketu by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Buhe, also known as Zhaisang of Horqinduoyan tribe, had four sons and two daughters.

Wu Keshan is the eldest son. He has three brothers, Chahan, Sonomu, and Manzhu Xili.

These four brothers are now the leaders of Horqin Duoyan tribe.

Dorgon wanted to decide the fate of the country with Ying Yi, and the whole country came to fight, so naturally he would not ignore the powerful Horqin tribe.

Wu Keshan summoned the three brothers and said: "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty issued a decree asking me, Horqin, to send 30,000 troops to attack the Southern Dynasty."

The Horqin tribe is quite powerful, but nowadays, it is not easy to send 30,000 troops. First, when the Manchu and Qing dynasties formed the Eight Banners of Mongolia, they recruited a large number of soldiers and horses from the Horqin tribe. Second, the Manchu and Qing dynasties had many restrictions on the Tatar tribes and did not allow the Tatars to have too many soldiers and horses.

When several people heard this, they all started to make a fuss.

Sonomu said: "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty wants us to be obedient and not let us have too many soldiers and horses. My four brothers combined now only have 40,000 people. If we transfer 30,000, we will only have 10,000. What if something goes wrong? What is it, what can I use to resist it?"

This is not nonsense.

Horqin is not the only Tatar, there are many tribes such as Tumut. There was no harmony among the various Tatar tribes. On the contrary, they fought against each other. Especially the Tumut tribe had conflicts with Horqinduo. In his early years, Horqin often had wars with Tumut.

It wasn't until Horqin defected to Donglu that the situation gradually reversed, and Horqin began to gain the upper hand.

However, if most of the troops were transferred this time, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty focused all its energy on the Southern Dynasties, Horqin would not be able to resist Tumo's special move.

Chahan also said: "Brother, if the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty wants us to send troops, that's fine. He just needs to let us expand our army."

Practice etiquette with pearls without saying a word.

Wu Keshan said: "You have a good idea. Expanding the army? The efforts of two generations of my grandfather and father are all gone with this expansion of the army."

Chahan was immediately speechless.

Isn't it just to make Donglu trust them by marrying so many women for Donglu to enjoy? Now if they are asked to send troops, they will expand their army. How to make Donglu trust them again?

Wu Keshan said: "Don't worry too much. Prince Rui sent me a secret message saying that the Qing Dynasty also sent people to contact Tumote and promised huge profits. Presumably Tumote will also send heavy troops to go south. In this way, there will be no spare power. Intruding on me, Horqin."

Manzhu Xili spoke at this time: "If this is the case, we can send troops. But brother, if you want us to send troops, what are the benefits?"

Wu Keshan laughed and said: "We will get half of the wealth of the capital of the Southern Dynasties."

When the three of them heard this, they immediately let out chills.

Sonomu said: "Half?! That's a lot!"

Chahan said: "The capital of the Southern Dynasties is extremely prosperous. Half... how can it be worth ten million taels of silver?"

Manzhu Xili sneered: "Ten million? More than 100 million!"

"One hundred million!?"

Chahan and Sonomu both screamed.

Wu Keshan said: "You are right about practicing rituals with pearls. The Southern Dynasty was prosperous and rich, and the capital was its center. There are countless rich and noble people, and they are all fat and oily."

"Like this...send troops!"

Chahan shouted immediately.

"Send troops!" Sonomu stood up: "One hundred million taels of silver, even if our four brothers share it equally, each of us can get 25 million. Tsk, tsk, it's really..."

My mouth is watering.
