Chapter 578 Murder and Silence
When he heard that all Duduo's food and grass had been burned by the Ming army, Dorgon almost sat down on the ground.
He doesn't have much food and grass. Even if he eats sparingly, he can sustain more than 19,000 Zhengbaiqi for ten days at most. But now that Duoduo and 10,000 people are added, he will starve in five days.
Is it possible for his fifteenth brother Duduo and his subordinate Xiangbaiqi to starve? Of course it is impossible. Dorgon turned around and raised the white flag, Jia La Ezhen Babuhai said:
"Go and make arrangements so that the warriors with the white flag can have a full meal today..."
"twitter!"
Babu Hai ordered him to arrange meals for Lao Fifteen immediately.
Babuhai is the eleventh son of Nurhaci, and his abilities are not on the same level as those of his elder brothers such as Duduo, Dorgon, Huangtaiji, etc. He is currently still in a shell, and even Baylor has not yet caught up with him.
This guy's wife is the daughter of his consort Yangguli, and Yanguli is the son-in-law of Boarpi, who is also the daughter of her sister. The relationship between establishing a slave is really messy...
Jiannu's strength is paramount. No matter whose son he is, he is nothing without strength. As a prince, Dorgon certainly doesn't bother to call him brother!
Babuhai knew that they didn't have much food and grass, so in order to give Lao Shifeng a full meal, he made his idea to target the small tribe of Tumut.
Let his subordinate Niu Lu Zhangjing take him directly to rob the Mongolian cattle and sheep.
The place where he lives has dozens of families of herders from the Tumut tribe.
You must know that the Tumut tribe is an ally of the slaves. In order to have a good meal, the slaves directly robbed the slaves without respecting martial ethics.
Of course, Duduo and Dorgon didn't know about this yet, so they entered Dorgon's tent together.
As soon as he entered the tent, Duduo couldn't wait to ask:
"Brother Fourteen, when did you withdraw? Did the Ming army attack Zhengbai Banner?"
Duduo thought that Dorgon didn't understand the Ming army as well as him. Once attacked by the Ming army, with the arrogance of establishing the Eight Banners, he would definitely go all out and would never escape easily.
Dorgon sighed after hearing this:
"I really didn't expect that the Ming army is so powerful now. They don't take our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty seriously at all, and they actually rush out of the border. Although I have made arrangements, I still lost nearly two thousand warriors!"
Duduo has always admired this resourceful Fourteenth Prince, who could retreat decisively and timely when he did not know the true strength of the Ming army, which made Duduo look high on him.
"Brother Fourteen, how did you judge that the Ming army would take the initiative to attack the city? Although I had a premonition, I was still a step too late. I was bombarded by Ming dog rockets and chased by cavalry and suffered heavy casualties..."
Dorgon patted Dodo on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down and talk. Dodo nodded, and the two brothers sat side by side.
Duduo looked back at his fifteenth brother whose armor was crooked and said:
"Yue Tuo led an army of 50,000 to enter the pass to plunder. Under normal circumstances, the Xuanfu Ming army would definitely attack the Wei Qinwang, but they did not respond at all. There were even more soldiers on the city wall, and the extra Ming army looked military.
The quality is higher than that of the Xuanfu Ming army.
Fifteenth brother, what does this mean? We must know that the 50,000 troops led by Yue Tuo could definitely turn the Ming Dynasty's capital upside down in the past. How could they have any extra troops to support the Xuanfu?
Obviously, the 50,000-strong army led by Yue Tuo did not cause any waves in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there was even a possibility that it might be destroyed by the Ming army.
At this time, Brother Fourteen remembered something. In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, Brother Twelve and his consort Yang Guli led a large army into the Pass and were wiped out. It was possible that the little emperor had really cultivated a powerful army.
Just in case, Brother Fourteen decided to lead most of the troops to temporarily withdraw twenty miles, leaving only two Niulu in the military camp, and sent another thousand people to ambush on the road the Ming army must pass when leaving the customs.
The result was really as expected by Brother Fourteen. The Ming army actually attacked my camp. The firearms were so popular that the Qing's advantage over the Ming army had been completely reversed by the firearms.
If the Qing Dynasty wants to reverse course again, it must vigorously develop the firearms army in the future. Before the firearms army is developed, whether it is the fifteenth brother's white flag or the fourteenth brother's pure white flag, you must be cautious when encountering the Ming army.
Remember, you must not fight them head-on. If you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, you must retreat decisively to avoid a devastating blow. Especially the National Protector Army of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hide if you can..."
Dorgon spoke out all his inner thoughts in one breath. He was reminding himself and at the same time reminding his fifteenth brother, Prince Yu Duduo.
When Dorgon spoke, Duduo kept nodding his head frequently. He had this idea in his mind before coming to Ming Dynasty. The destruction of Pidao's entire army left him with a nightmare.
Unexpectedly, the Fourteenth Prince has not yet fought a direct battle with the Ming army, but he has already judged the combat effectiveness of the National Protector Army. This ability makes Duduo admire him even more.
"You two princes, can you have a good meal and drink today..."
At this time, Babuhai brought in two plates of beef and mutton, and two bags of kumiss. Duduo's stomach immediately began to growl when he smelled the smell, and he immediately stood up and grabbed a plate of beef and mutton from Babuhai's hand...
…
"Brother, I haven't eaten for two days and I'm starving to death..."
Seeing how reckless his fifteenth brother Dodo was, Babuhai raised his head and glanced at his fourteenth brother Dorgon, who waved his hand to him:
"Go ahead and let those slaves with the white flag have a good meal, and we will think of a solution later..."
"twitter!"
Babuhai bowed and then exited Dorgon's military tent...
"It's so delicious. I've never tasted such fragrant beef. Thank you Brother Fourteen..."
Duduo took a big bite of the cooked beef and praised the taste of the beef, which made Dorgon feel sad for a while.
The person in front of them is the Prince of Henan of the Qing Dynasty. Since following Lao Khan out of the mountains and forests, their brothers have never gone without food for two days...
Dorgon personally poured a bowl of kumiss for Dodo:
"Old Fifteen, eat slowly, there is also kumiss here!"
"Hey, thank you Brother Fourteen!"
Duduo smiled and immediately picked up the bowl and finished it in one go...
After he had food in his stomach, Duduo slowed down his eating speed. Seeing that Brother Fourteen had been watching him eating meat, he hurriedly laughed and said:
"Brother Fourteen, you can eat too. This plate of mutton is yours, and this wine..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dodo put the mutton and kumiss in front of Dorgon, and he continued to eat meat and drink from a large bowl.
Dorgon ate a few large pieces of mutton, drank a bowl of kumiss, and then put away the kumiss. The mutton was also wrapped and put away. He had to eat sparingly because food was tight.
Suddenly there was a fierce quarrel outside, Dorgon's face suddenly darkened and he said:
"What's the matter?"
Two guards hurriedly came in and knelt down and kowtowed:
"Master, a group of Mongolians are coming outside. They come to ask for cattle and sheep..."
Dorgon was stunned:
"What cattle and sheep?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Dorgon looked at the little beef left on Duduo's plate. He instantly understood the reason. It must be Babuhai who had robbed the Mongolian cattle and sheep, and they came to the door!
"Ask Babuhai about robbing them of their many cattle and sheep, and also how many cattle and sheep they have in total!"
"twitter!"
The two guards hurriedly kowtowed to Dorgon again before getting up and leaving...
Soon, two of Dorgon's personal guards came in and reported:
"Reporting to the master, Mr. Jia La'ezhen has robbed ten cattle and fifty sheep from the Mongols. Currently, this small tribe still has more than ten thousand cattle and sheep..."
Duduo and Dorgon shouted almost at the same time:
"So many? Back off!"
"Yes, this tribe is not very small. There are about two hundred families of herdsmen. The one who just came to ask for an explanation is their leader Su Geer!"
As soon as the two guards exited, Duduo immediately shouted:
"Brother Fourteen, we have food and grass!"
Dorgon looked at Duduo coldly and said:
"Isn't this bad? If the emperor finds out, the consequences will be serious. Our brothers may not be able to keep their thrones..."
Duduo wiped away the greasy lips and said:
"Are we just watching the two white flag warriors continue to starve? We have to march in this ice and snow for more than half a month. I don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death in Shengjing..."
Dorgon lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, let's follow Lao Fifteen's plan and ask Babuhai to come over!"
"twitter!"
The personal guards received the order and immediately went to inform Babu Hai.
After a moment, Babuhai walked in quickly, and Dodo and Dorgon looked at him almost at the same time, but this was the territory of Zhengbaiqi, and Dodo would not give orders!
"Babu Hai, how many cattle and sheep do the Mongols have?"
Babuhai knew what Dorgon wanted to do as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"There's still a lot, I should be able to eat it for a few days. If I save some, plus the remaining military rations we have, we should be able to barely support ourselves until Shengjing..."
Dorgon nodded, then walked to Babuhai and whispered:
"Kill all the Mongolians here tonight. When you go back, I will write a letter to promote you to Baylor..." I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age started from the Prince Supervisor.
