Chapter 510 Rainbow Six
Chapter 510 Rainbow No. 6
After seeing Luo Kai off, Zhang Zhun issued an order to inform the entire army that one head of one person was to forgive the crime and two heads of the head of the army. If a rebel came with the head of the Tartars, he could forgive whatever he had done before. If there were more heads, he would pay at the price of fifty taels of silver. In other words, the Hu Ben Army opened the door to the rebels to join.
However, no matter who the other party is, they will not accept it if they want to join the Hu Ben Army. They can only restore their status as civilians and live a life of honesty. Luo Kai’s concern is indeed correct. Zhang Zhun is not ready to use these people who surrendered to the Tartars first, but now come from the Tartars anyway. At least, they are not ready to use them on a large scale unless the other party has outstanding talents and is in the ranks of passive surrender.
After the order was continued, it caused some slight troubles. Many people felt that Zhang Zhun was so kind to these rebels that he actually gave the rebels a chance to reform. Some rebels were worse than the Tartars. For such rebels, they must be killed and hung their heads on the flagpole to show their public. How could they let them go for nothing?
However, more people agreed with Zhang Zhun's order. Some people also praised Zhang Zhun's order and had a long-term strategic vision. Especially Zhang Shenyan and others were deeply concerned about Zhang Zhun's policy. This is the best way to deal with the Tartars. Gather all the forces that can be gathered, constantly weaken the Tartars' strength, and eventually lead to the collapse of the Tartars.
In the eyes of Zhang Shenyan and others, the essence of this order is to use a knife to kill people. Whether it is to use a Tatar’s sword to kill the rebels, or use a rebel’s sword to kill the Tartars, the effect is the same. No matter who is killed, it is only good and no harm for the Hu Ben Army. It is best to have both sides suffer losses and die together.
As for what reaction the Tartars would react after learning about Zhang Zhun's order, it is unknown. However, some information was sent, saying that the Tartars had announced the implementation of martial law in the Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei, and the camps of the rebels also increased their vigilance. The camps of the rebels originally stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang also had slight adjustments. Unfortunately, in the following days, no more rebels had defected with the Tartars' heads.
Of course, Zhang Zhun was not in a hurry at all. After planting the seeds of doubt, he had to wait for a while before they could take root and sprout. However, once the seeds were planted, there would definitely be a harvest. It was like the Tartars successfully harvested Yuan Chonghuan, and the Hu Ben Army did not know what kind of gifts they would receive. It all depends on time.
"Sir, the information from Rainbow Six is here."
On the third day after Zhang Zhun arrived at the Imperial City Island, a man from Maoyansi hurriedly sent top-secret information. The information was sealed with very tight wax balls, only the size of a fingertip of a tail finger.
"Is Rainbow Six coming to information?"
Zhang Zhun's expression was obviously a bit strange, and then he recovered and asked the Maoyansi people to leave first, then subconsciously looked around him, and then slowly reviewed the information.
It is very necessary for him to be so cautious. Because Rainbow Six is the code name of Ma Yi. Except for Zhang Zhun, no one else could think of such a code name in this era. It is impossible for the Tartars to pretend to be. However, the place where Ma Yi lurked was in Shenyang, the Tartars' nest. Any unintentional actions could lead to Ma Yi's death.
If you calculate the time, you will find that Ma Yi has been to Liaodong for several months. This is the first piece of information he sent. Zhang Zhun is indeed looking forward to this piece of information, and he doesn't know what Ma Yi is doing there. Now that he thinks, Zhang Zhun still feels that his original decision was a strong adventure. As long as Ma Yi hesitates a little, Zhang Zhun may cancel Ma Yi's trip to Liaodong. However, Ma Yi bravely took on this dangerous task, so Zhang Zhun made up his mind to establish an intelligence network in Liaodong.
Zhang Zhun carefully crushed the wax balls and pulled out a blank piece of paper from it. There was no text message on the paper. However, when Zhang Zhun placed the paper on the light and baked it gently, small handwriting appeared on the white paper.
"good!"
"here you go!"
"This Ma Yi is indeed the reason for doing big things!"
After reading the information, Zhang Zhun rubbed his palms excitedly and paced back and forth in the living room.
The information sent by Ma Yi is about the upper class of the Tartars. I don’t know yet how Ma Yi found information from the upper class of the Tartars. However, the information sent by Ma Yi this time is indeed very valuable. Because this information directly involves the core senior leaders within the Tartars. They are the main figures who determine the future direction of the Tartars.
The internal chaos of the Tartars was very controversial and disagreement. Huang Taiji might have made big moves, and this is the main content of the information sent by Ma Yi.
The news of Huang County's defeat reached Shenyang, and the Tartars were in chaos. Although rumors were flying outside, as the highest figures of the Tartars, they still accurately grasped the number of casualties in the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner through their own channels. However, after learning about the real situation of the war, they would rather believe the rumors than believe that all this was true.
The death of the Great Jin army, which was nearly 5,000, was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the foreheads of all slave chiefs. Such losses have never been seen before since the founding of the Great Jin Kingdom. Even since the Seven Hate Rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, the total number of deaths of the Tatars in all battles may not be much different from this number. The two invasions of the Tatars were only hundreds of casualties. Just counting the number of deaths may only be three or four hundred. And the entire Niulu army was wiped out like never before.
The Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner lost so many warriors, and they were completely wiped out. Without twenty years, the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner could not imagine that they could rely on their own strength to replenish the lost population. In other words, for at least ten years, two of the eight-legged table legs of the Great Jin Kingdom were already hanging in the air. This eight-legged table would not be at risk of collapse for the time being, but it was not as stable as before.
It can be imagined that these news had a great impact on the slave chief. It was expected that huge differences and controversies arose among the slave chiefs. Huang Taiji's rise was originally full of controversy, and there were many people who were dissatisfied within the Tartars. Now, the Tartars suffered such heavy losses, and some of the slave chiefs could not help but think that Huang Taiji's leader was incompetent. Dorgon and Duoduo of course had the responsibility, and Huang Taiji's responsibility was also serious. In the Nurhaci era, the Tartars had never suffered such heavy losses.
According to Ma Yi's information, the Tartars are currently divided into two main opinions.
The first type is led by Haoge, which is a strong revenge faction.
They shouted to immediately carry out revenge and carry out the maximum revenge against the Ming Dynasty. Haoge clamored to raise troops immediately, bypass the Guanning defense line, head directly from the Great Wall, and then go to Shandong to defeat Zhang Zhun and the Hu Ben Army. If possible, they would still have to defeat the capital of the Ming Dynasty halfway.
As the eldest son of Huang Taiji's favorite, Haoge has been above the top since he was a child, and ordinary people don't take it seriously at all. This time, Haoge successfully surrendered to the Mongolian grasslands. In terms of military achievements, it is indeed worthy of great writing. As long as Dorgon's military achievements do not exceed his. Now, Dorgon has suffered a crushing defeat and Haoge has won completely. Compared with the two, Haoge's military achievements are even more dazzling.
During the expedition to the Mongolian grasslands, Haoge obviously did not feel satisfied. Although Lin Danhan was known as a descendant of the Golden Family, he actually did not have much assets. The Mongols had long split into many tribes of all sizes, and Lin Danhan was just a larger tribe leader. In this battle, Haoge captured several widows of Lin Danhan and thought they were pretty good, so he brought them back and gave them to Huang Taiji, including Namu Zhong and Batma. Therefore, Haoge was even more favored by Huang Taiji.
With the pride of conquering the Mongolian grasslands, Haoge wanted to take the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack on the Ming Dynasty. In the past, Haoge was not the head coach because he was not qualified enough. However, this time, Haoge was qualified to be the head coach. Therefore, Haoge was determined to make extraordinary achievements and make everyone around him admire him. Haoge not only wanted to eliminate Zhang Zhun and his Hu Ben Army, but also hoped to directly defeat the capital of the Ming Dynasty, especially the latter.
In any aspect, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was much richer than Lin Dankhan's Guihua City. The gold, silver, and women inside were incomparable to one hundred Guihua City. As long as the capital was conquered and the money and beauty were taken away, the Tartars could enjoy a blessing for at least several years. Moreover, conquering the capital of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to directly proclaiming the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Nurhaci's seven major hatreds were finally realized.
Haoge's clamor was also in line with the psychology of most slave chiefs. In the past, the Tatars implemented a policy of shooting out the first bird when the Ming Dynasty was in a fight. As long as you dare to resist, the Tatars would be willing to destroy you at a certain price. According to the Tatars, the Ming Dynasty was already rotten, with only a few remaining nails, and they were still barely suffocating the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Tatars removed these nails, the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty would completely sink.
For example, Zhao Lujiao. At the beginning, the Ming army led by Zhao Lujiao carried out a resolute resistance in Zunhua. As a result, after Zunhua was captured, the Tartars slaughtered the city and killed all the subordinates of Zhao Lujiao. During the second invasion, Yan Shengdou, the governor of Baoanzhou, actively organized military and civilian resistance. As a result, Baoanzhou was also slaughtered by the Tartars, and Yan Shengdou was destroyed.
According to the tatars' strategy, as long as all the Ming army ministers or generals who dare to resist were killed, the remaining Ming generals, or high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, would have no possibility of resistance. At that time, the Tartars would enter and go to the Ming Dynasty and abroad, as if they were in a no-man state. In this way, they could successfully loot more materials. At that time, the Tartars would only have a simple idea of looting and no intention to enter the Central Plains. Even the most arrogant Haoge hoped to conquer the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they would just want to rob money and beauties.
In fact, the Tatars' strategy did have excellent results. After repeated attacks by the Tatars, the generals who were full of energy, courage, courage, and ability to fight against the Tatars were almost wiped out. Many of the remaining Ming army generals were basically old turtles and slippers. When facing the attacks of the Tatars, they did not dare to take the initiative to fight, for fear that they would become the target of the Tartars' key attacks. The result was that the Tartars came freely and would do whatever they wanted. The Ming Dynasty was like an unguarded chicken cage, and anyone could reach in and pinch it.
When the Tatars invaded for the second time, the weak side of the Ming Dynasty was completely exposed. No generals of the Ming army, or senior officials from all over the country, dared to take the initiative to resist the attacks of the Tatars. Those senior governors, governors, military eunuchs, etc. all became turtles, sitting on the verge of their own people, and being ravaged by the Tartars, did not dare to take the initiative to attack at all.
However, just when the Tartars were secretly glad that their strategy had succeeded, the Ming Dynasty suddenly released a Zhang Zhun. It was learned from the intelligence department that Zhang Zhun had killed many Tartars before Huangxian. Therefore, it can be determined that this person and the Tartars must have an irreconcilable hatred. For such a person, they can only be eliminated physically. Otherwise, taking any other method would be very likely to be futile.
Huang Taiji thought a little longer. Now the Ming Dynasty is in a mess, with a large number of peasant troops trying to overthrow the Ming Dynasty's court. Zhang Zhun seems to be one of them, the rumored 37th anti-army. The Ming Dynasty's court was quite weak in suppressing domestic unrest. Zhang Zhun's suppression was even more defeated.
Huang Taiji did not study history much, but he also knew that once the Ming Dynasty changed its court, it would be absolutely impossible for the Tartars to loot so unscrupulously. As of now, Zhang Zhun is a terrible journey in the anti-army. With Zhang Zhun's current strength, the elite Tartars can suffer a great loss. With time, that's not going to happen? Huang Taiji is very clear about Dorgon's talent. Even Dorgon is not Zhang Zhun's opponent. If Zhang Zhun is not eliminated in time, God knows what will happen in the future.
"Eliminate Zhang Zhun!"
"Totally destroy the Tiger Army!"
This is the main slogan of the pro-war faction headed by Haoge.
The second type is the dominant faction headed by Azig.
Ajige, Dorgon, Dodo and others are brothers, but his age is slightly older. At the same time, it does not have the deep patience of Dorgon, nor the youthful and vigorous spirit of Dodo, and move forward. Therefore, among the three brothers, he is relatively unknown. However, obscurity does not mean that he has no opinion of his own.
Unlike Haoge's aggressiveness, Ajige tactfully stated that in addition to war, other methods can be taken to solve the dilemma of Dengzhou City. Because Ajige knew that Zhang Zhun was also an unpopular person within the Ming Dynasty. Based on the idea that the enemy's enemy was his own allies, Ajige believed that in addition to war, there were other ways to bring Dorgon, Dodo, and other warriors of the Jin army back. This other method implies that negotiations, substitutions, or redeem people with money.
In fact, Ajige means to rescue Dorgon and Duoduo first. As for how to use the method to trouble Zhang Zhun and avenge him, that is the future matter. As long as Dorgon, Duoduo and others can evacuate Dengzhou City and return to Liaodong, the Tatars will no longer have any worries, and they can do whatever they want.
Liu Rushi asked with some confusion: "Master, why is it not Ajige who is in charge of the battle, but Huang Taiji and Haoge? Logically speaking, it should be Ajige who cares about the safety of Dorgon and Duoduo the most! Huang Taiji and Haoge both wish that Dorgon and Duoduo would disappear from then on. In the current situation, it seems that Huang Taiji and Haoge are much more active than Ajige."
Zhang Zhun said meaningfully: "This is politics."
Seeing Liu Rushi's curious body, Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Huang Taiji wants to try his best to shape his image and show that he is a tolerant monarch. Therefore, he must not refuse to save Dorgon and Duoduo. However, he definitely does not really want to rescue Dorgon and Duoduo. He is undoubtedly for others to show such a massive revenge. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Tartars were preparing to loot again this year after they tasted the sweetness last year. Well, there is another possibility, which is to put pressure on me and have to release Dorgon and Duoduo."
"Ajige is considering the lives and safety of his own brothers. Although Huang Taiji and Haoge's actions were huge and exciting, it would take some time for the army to fight from preparation to action. Even after the Tartars entered the Great Wall, everything went smoothly. It is hard to say whether Dorgon and Duoduo could last until that time. Ajige obviously knew this very well, so he suggested using a special method to rescue Dorgon and Duoduo first. As long as his brothers retreated first, everything else would be easy to say. Even if both banner owners were lost, as long as they were left with green mountains, they would not have to worry about burning firewood."
Liu Rushi said in confusion: "So, what actions will the Tartars take?"
Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Now, of course, it is mainly Huang Taiji and Haoge."
Liu Rushi said with some concern: "Then... the defense line of the North is dangerous again?"
Zhang Zhun nodded with a gloomy face and said word by word: "That's it."
Liu Rushi couldn't help but look at the direction of the north.
If the Tartars really invade in the next few months, can the Ming army's defense line in the northern country withstand the third invasion of the Tartars?
Liu Rushi was very unconfident.
Zhang Zhun also had no confidence.
