Chapter 630 Seawater on one side, flame on the other

Chapter 630: The sea water on one side, the flame on the other side

Dorgon and Dodo were captured, Kong Youde surrendered, and the battle in Dengzhou City was completely unsurprising. The sporadic Tartars could no longer stop the attack of the Hu Ben Army. They could only hide in collapsed buildings, resist stubbornly, trying to shoot one Hu Ben Army as much as possible, and exchange one life for another. However, even this small wish could not be easily realized. Often, before their bows and arrows took action, the explosive packs shot from the Hu Ben Army would kill them under the ruins.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, Zhang Zhun ordered Dugu Lie to lead the sniper team to join the battle. This made the hidden Tartars even more sad. Because their range of bows and arrows was only about twenty or thirty feet, and the range of the Hu Ben gun was several times that of the bows and arrows. At a distance of thirty or forty feet, as long as the sniper discovered the target and shot it, the hidden Tartars could lie there forever and never move again.

Most of the Tartars did not understand professional hidden skills. They just looked for a place to simply hide, and then waited for an opportunity to attack the passing Tiger Army. In fact, as long as they were carefully observed, they could easily find their figures. Therefore, these Tartars were tragic in front of the Tiger Army snipers. Often, a gunshot was a summary of the lives of the Tartars.

The next day was the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, and the battle continued. With the support of the unconscience-free cannons and the destroying cannons, the Hu Ben Army continued to clear out the scattered enemies in the city. There were constant explosions in the inside of Dengzhou City. However, outside of Dengzhou City, celebrations had already begun. The crowds of people from all directions gathered together and sang and danced, even if they were a repertoire to celebrate the New Year.

Among these people who sing and danced, a considerable number of people from Baoding Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture, were transported by merchant ships and landed ashore near Dengzhou City. According to Zhang Zhun's suggestion, they will be placed around Dengzhou City to carry out production and life. Due to the rampant Tartars, the current permanent population of Dengzhou City is zero, and a large number of people must be migrated from all over the country to fill this gap.

This was the first time these frightened and fearful people felt the joy of victory. They saw the Tartars so embarrassed by the Hu Ben Army. In their impression, the Tartars were the most cruel. If they met Tartars, they would definitely be dead. The Ming army fought with the Tartars for decades, but it seemed that they had never won. Instead, many people died.

It seems that there is still a future with the Hu Ben Army!

By that night, the four areas that were divided into Dengzhou City were sorted out one after another. Except for a very few cellars that may not have been discovered, all the buildings on the ground were cleaned up by the Hu Ben Army. The resistance of the Tatars was already very weak. By the late night, basically no Tatars appeared.

Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan began to organize civilians to enter Dengzhou City, clear blocked streets, clear blocked sewers, transport the bodies of Tartars or rebels, and sweep up mountains of garbage. After Dengzhou City is recovered, it will exist as the political, economic and cultural center of Dengzhou Prefecture. When the Hu Ben Army counterattacks Liaodong in the future, Dengzhou City will also be an important logistics transport port. Therefore, it is very important to restore Dengzhou City to normal order as soon as possible.

According to rough statistics, in the two days of battle, the Hu Ben Army collected more than 1,800 corpses of Tartars, and the bombed broken limbs and broken arms, and the casualties of the Tartars should be more than 2,000. This number is basically the number of all Tartars in Dengzhou City. Zhang Zhun estimated that even if there were still surviving Tartars hidden underground, there would not be more than 200 people.

After Kong Youde surrendered, most of the rebels surrendered voluntarily. According to Zhang Zhun's order, the officers would be cleared out and screened. Those who were extremely guilty were beheaded and displayed for public trial. Ordinary officers were sent to mine. As for ordinary soldiers, they were sent to work as other coolies. It is temporarily impossible for them to live a normal life. As traitors, they must be punished.

For those soldiers who were once rebels, Zhang Zhun could not have any more demands after he forgives their lives. After all, the crime of treason is very serious, and it is necessary to confiscate the house and exterminate the clan. If they fell into the hands of the court, they might have been confiscated and exterminated the clan. Now, it is overjoyed that they can save their lives in Zhang Zhun.

In fact, most of the rebels did not really want to surrender to the Tartars, but they had no choice. They did not have the courage to resist the decisions of their superiors, nor did they have the courage to escape from the rebellious team. All they could do was to follow the trend and survive numbly, and how long they could survive.

"You must atone for your sins!"

"Use your second half of your life to forgive your sins!"

Zhang Zhun said bluntly to these rebels.

After a brief identification, most of the rebel grassroots soldiers were organized on the spot to form a team of civil servants, and were specifically responsible for the cleaning and reconstruction of Dengzhou City. There were 5,000 civil servants organized. They would be the main force in the reconstruction of Dengzhou City in the future.

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Zhang Zhun officially announced the recovery of Dengzhou City.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

At noon that day, the Great White Fleet fired together to celebrate this historical moment.

In the original prefectural ruling office of Dengzhou Prefecture, the military and civilians of the Hu Ben Army held a grand opportunity to celebrate the recovery of Dengzhou City. Zhang Zhun delivered a passionate speech on behalf of the Hu Ben Army, reiterating his determination to fight the Tartars to the end. At the same time, he called on more aspiring young people to join the Hu Ben Army's ranks and fight to fight against the Tartars.

"There is nothing great about the Tartars. The Tartars are also humans and can be killed! As long as we are braver, more cruel, and more determined than the Tartars, the Tartars are no match for us! What the imperial official army cannot do, let us Hu Ben Army do it! We can do better than the imperial court! The imperial official army has been defeated repeatedly, and our Hu Ben Army has been defeated repeatedly!"

There is no doubt that Zhang Zhun's speech was filled with a large amount of private goods. He separated the Hu Ben Army from the imperial court's official army without any concealment, which was also to prepare for the future war. If the imperial court wants to turn against each other, then come on! Even the Tartars are not afraid, will we still be afraid of your imperial court's official army?

At the call of Zhang Zhun, hundreds of young people signed up for the army on the spot, and the scene was very hot. Lin Bin, who was responsible for recruiting new recruits, was very busy. Most of these young people who signed up for the army migrated from Northern Zhili. They were just a newcomer and had no source of income for the time being, so joining the army was undoubtedly the best choice. The treatment of the Hu Ben Army was enough for them to support their family. If they made meritorious service, they could get more rewards.

What surprised Zhang Zhun was that among these young people who signed up for the army, there were also those from North Korea. It turned out that last time Zhang Zhun visited North Korea with the Hu Ben Army, it also caused quite a response in North Korea under the intentional publicity of the Korean royal family. As a result, some passionate young people took the initiative to cross the sea and ran to Shandong to sign up for the army.

"As long as your physical fitness passes the test, it will be approved."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said to Lin Bin.

The Hu Ben Army will fight back against Liaodong in the future, and the Korean Peninsula is a very important battlefield. According to Zhang Zhun's estimate, Huang Taiji will not give up North Korea easily. He can even give up Mongolian Guihua City (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) and will not give up North Korea. Because once North Korea is given up, the Great Jin Kingdom will be attacked on both sides.

No matter from any angle, it is very dangerous to be attacked from both sides. Since Huang Taiji does not like such a result, the Hu Ben Army must work hard to create such a result. Therefore, the Hu Ben Army must control North Korea before counterattacking Chenyang. These young Koreans who came to surrender to the Hu Ben Army will be the main backbone of the Korean army in the future.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

People from all over Dengzhou Prefecture and migrant workers from all over Laizhou Prefecture gathered together and danced yangko dances. Many merchants who heard the news also came to Dengzhou City to join in the fun. Among them, many merchants were familiar to Zhang Zhun. They came to Zhang Zhun to say hello, with respect on their faces.

The merchants' vision is the most toxic. They now have sufficient reasons to believe that Zhang Zhun's future is definitely unlimited. At this time, it is absolutely necessary to establish a good relationship with Zhang Zhun. So someone took the initiative to donate part of the funds to help rebuild Dengzhou City. Zhang Zhun naturally agreed happily.

Dorgon and Duoduo, who were captured alive, were both pushed out by the Hu Ben Army to appear. This was the first time that the Hu Ben Army had captured important figures in the Great Jin Kingdom alive, which naturally attracted the attention of countless interested people. As soon as they appeared, they pushed the atmosphere on the scene to a climax. Especially the spies from all forces, they opened their eyes wide and wanted to see more clearly. This was an amazing result!

What was Dorgon? He was the fourteenth son of Wild Boar Skin, a person who even Huang Taiji was afraid of! The senior officials of the Ming Dynasty even speculated that this guy was very likely to ascend to the throne of the Great Jin Kingdom after Huang Taiji died. Who was Duoduo? The same son of Wild Boar Skin! He was Dorgon's most solid supporter! Now, both of them were captured alive. Such military achievements have never been in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

Looking at the crowds in front of him, Dorgon looked pale and said nothing. After two days of tossing, Dorgon gradually calmed down. He knew very well that he was a completely prisoner, and no matter how hard he tried, his destiny would not continue to be controlled by him. The people of the Hu Ben Army carried out twelve hours of all-round monitoring of him, and even if he wanted to commit suicide, he could not do so. Therefore, the only thing he could do was to accept everything in front of him numbly.

Duoduo was unconscious and muttered to himself. No one knew what he was talking about. According to Xiao Baoru's identification, Duoduo has become an idiot and may not be able to recover in his life. In other words, even if Zhang Zhun doesn't kill Duoduo, he is already a waste. Zhang Zhun naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

Kong Youde was also pushed to the stage. This big traitor who surrendered to the Tartars aroused strong hatred from the people as soon as he came to the stage. Yes, the people hated the Tartars and hated the traitor even more. Countless spits fell on Kong Youde, covering him all. Kong Youde, who lost both hands, once again suffered unprecedented punishment. If he had known this, perhaps he should have committed suicide.

The news of the Hu Ben Army's recovery of Dengzhou City flew to the west, and celebrations were held in Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture to celebrate the victory. Of course, the people of the two prefectures were very happy, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere. However, on Huang Taiji's side, the atmosphere was a little dim.

...

Northern Zhili, Huairou.

At noon on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Huairou did not have any New Year atmosphere, or even a bit bleak atmosphere. The sky was gray and there was no sun. It seemed that it was going to snow, but it never fell. The dark clouds were very low, as if they were just above the head of a person, and you could touch it with your hands. But when you really raised your hands and wanted to poke the clouds through, you found that you could not touch anything.

According to Huang Taiji's orders, the commanders of various armies of the Great Jin army rushed from all over the place to Huairou. Their mood was also not very good. Although Huang Taiji prohibited the spread of the news and strictly prohibited the leak of Ajige's defeat, there was no airtight wall in the world, and as time went by, many people knew about it. In fact, the commanders of the Great Jin army vaguely learned the news the day after Ajige's defeat. However, Huang Taiji prohibited them, so they had to pretend to be stupid.

After all, Ajige returned to Huairou with the Zhenghong Banner to rest and recuperate. Such a big thing is impossible for others to know. And the reason is that just by just a little bit of it, you can think of it. If there was no accident, how could Ajige lead his army to retreat to Huairou? He should have entered Shandong and attacked Dengzhou City directly. Ajige's main task is to attack Dengzhou City and rescue his two younger brothers. Since he was back in shame, he did not have any welcome ceremony or any reward, there was naturally an accident.

An accident? What can happen? The biggest accident is of course defeated. Only those who come back from the defeat will receive such "politeness". Only the defeated troops will silently withdraw from the front line. Only the defeated troops will be closed down after they come back and are strictly prohibited from contacting the outside world. After Ajige comes back, no one has seen him, so there are rumors that Huang Taiji has ordered Ajige to commit suicide, so as not to lose face of the Great Jin Kingdom.

The Ajige's Zhenghong Banner is indeed not very strong in the Eight Banners sequence, which is known to everyone. However, Ajige's own military command ability is still certain, which is also known to everyone. In the past few years, Ajige has made many military achievements. For many people, Ajige's defeat was a bad news or even bad news. Because this means that within the Ming Dynasty, the strength of the enemy is stronger than the Zhenghong Banner led by Ajige.

Although the strength of the other banners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is stronger than that of the Zhenghong Banners and the number of Niulu is greater, it will not be much stronger. Even the Zhenghuang Banners with the strongest strength will not exceed forty. If you encounter such an enemy, wouldn’t you also suffer a strong resistance? Simple calculations are that since the opponent can defeat the Zhenghong Banners, of course, you can defeat other banners.

Later, when he learned about the Hu Ben Army commanded by Zhang Zhun, the thoughts of each slave chief became more and more complicated. It was Zhang Zhun again! It was Hu Ben Army again! It was really a ghost! How could the Jin army suffer from the Hu Ben Army wherever they went? Why didn’t the Hu Ben Army go well in Shandong? What did the Hu Ben Army go to Northern Zhili to do? I don’t understand, I really don’t understand. Many slave chiefs couldn’t understand why Zhang Zhun suddenly appeared in Northern Zhili and beat Ajige up.

In the past, the Hu Ben Army only dared to make small fuss on the coast of Liaodong, but in fact they did not dare to go ashore to fight head-on with the Da Jin army. But now, they have developed to the point where they dare to fight with the Da Jin army, which is really becoming more and more impressive. It seems that Nanluo will probably have to spend some trouble this time. If Zhang Zhun is not eliminated as soon as possible and the Hu Ben army is not eliminated as soon as possible, the Da Jin army will probably be even more sad in the future.

Of course, some people have completely opposite ideas. For example, Haoge. Haoge thinks that this is a good opportunity to eliminate Zhang Zhun. Zhang Zhun could not catch them at sea, so he could only sigh. Now, they are fighting with the Jin army on land, and the Jin army just seized the opportunity and flattened them in one fell swoop. The northern Zhili was flat, which is the most suitable for the large-scale cavalry operation of the Jin army. With the advantage of cavalry, what is the terrible thing about the Tiger Ben Army?

The defeat of Zhenghong Banner by Zhang Zhun can only be said to be incompetent. The other banners, especially the Yellow Banner led by Haoge, are the elite among the elites. Not only is the number of Niulu more than Zhenghong Banner, but each Niulu is full, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is also stronger than Zhenghong Banner. Haoge has full confidence that once the war starts with the Huben Army, the Huben Army will never be able to escape.

Many Mongolian royal tribes also participated in this military conference. The most important one was the leader of the three major tribes. The representative of the Korqin tribe was naturally Zaisanbuhe, which was the father of Bumubutai (i.e., Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang). The leader of the Halashen tribe was Hadanbatel, which means the hero of the strong in Mongolian. The leader of the Tumot tribe was Arislan, and the meaning of the lion in Mongolian.

Behind the three major leaders, there are several other lower-ranking leaders. Since the Mongols withdrew from the Central Plains and gradually declined, the Mongols have split into hundreds of tribes of all sizes. The leaders of these tribes often fought endlessly and tried to strengthen their own strength by conquering others. Therefore, it was actually very chaotic inside the Mongols.

Lin Danhan could not effectively control the Mongolian tribes. He was just the nominal golden khan of the Mongolians, and in fact many people did not buy his account at all. Similarly, the leaders of the three major tribes only controlled their nearby forces, and the edges of the tribe were basically unable to control. Therefore, some powerful young leaders were also invited by Huang Taiji to attend the meeting.

Ajige's defeat was difficult for the Mongols. They actively followed Jianlu to the south at the beginning, but they never thought that Jianlu would suffer such a heavy defeat. They knew Ajige's reputation, and this person was definitely a brave general in Jianlu. Now, with a whole flag of troops, he was defeated by Zhang Zhun, which was really incredible.

After all, the Mongols depended on the Great Jin Kingdom and wanted to gain benefits. The Mongolian grassland only produced horses, cattle and sheep, and everything else was owed. If they did not use the Han people's living supplies, they would not be able to survive. In the past, they lived peacefully with the Ming Kingdom, and the relationship between the two sides was actually quite harmonious. However, Yuan Chonghuan, a bastard, cut off the Mongolians' financial path, and the relationship between the two sides took a sharp turn for the worse.

In the past, when the Mongols got a head of Jianlu, they could exchange dozens of taels of silver. If they didn’t have silver, they could exchange tea, cotton, salt, iron, medicinal materials and other daily necessities. These daily necessities were very important to the Mongols. Without these things, the Mongols would not be able to live. However, Yuan Chonghuan canceled such exchange regulations, and the Mongols turned to Jianlu in anger.

At the beginning, the Korqin tribe, which first surrendered to the Jianlu, did gain a lot of benefits. Two times in Nanluo, the Mongolian cavalry of the Korqin tribe participated and plundered a large amount of supplies. The strength of the Korqin tribe was also strengthened and became the most powerful of all Mongolian tribes. Before surrendering to the Jianlu, the strength of the Korqin tribe was really not very good.

When other tribes saw this situation, they were of course jealous. When doing business with Ming, they had to suffer all kinds of difficulties from the Ming people and gave various kickbacks. In the end, they still suffered a great loss and were directly and effective in looting. Therefore, when Lin Danhan died, they immediately surrendered to Jianlu, preparing to follow Jianlu Nanlu, plunder it well, and then strengthen the strength of their tribe. But unexpectedly, before they had robbed much, news of Jianlu's defeat came here.

The fierce Zhenghong Banner suffered such a great setback, which really made the Mongolians feel a little uneasy. They were all a little worried that if there was another Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di among the Ming people, they would die without a place to die. Thinking of Lan Yu at the time, many Mongolians were trembling, let alone Zhu Di, who was more cruel than Lan Yu.

To be honest, the Mongolians had less understanding of the Hu Ben Army than the Great Jin Kingdom. The most fundamental reason was of course the news of Huang Taiji's blockade. Of course, Huang Taiji would not tell the Mongols about these bad news and negative news. However, the Mongolians were not fools. Their understanding of the Ming Kingdom was actually more profound than that of Jianlu. Because they had suffered too much from the Ming people, they deeply understood that the Han people could indeed be bullied at some time, but at some times, they would cause a catastrophe if they touched them.

The Ming Dynasty is indeed very weak now, and it seems that everyone can eat it. The problem is that there is a huge change in the Ming Dynasty. The storm and the storm are turbulent, and no one can guarantee whether the Ming Dynasty will change its dynasty. Everyone knows that the emerging dynasty of the Han people have always been very terrible. If they anger them, they may bring disaster to themselves at any time.

"Zhenghongqi encountered a little trouble in Hejian Mansion."

Huang Taiji said slowly straight to the point, his face a solemn.

From the beginning of the meeting, Ajige kept hanging his head and did not hide the fact that he had defeated the war. At this point, even if Huang Taiji wanted to hide it, he could not hide it. Therefore, he could only try his best to downplay the impact of this matter. The impact of defeat in the Great Jin Kingdom was very bad. If it was concealed for a long time, the consequences would be even more serious.

"The Hu Ben Army led by Zhang Zhun designed a trap in Hejian Prefecture, and Zhenghongqi accidentally encountered an ambush..."

Huang Taiji said cautiously.

He carefully revised the battle process of Zhenghongqi. According to Huang Taiji, the defeat of Zhenghongqi was not because they were not brave enough, not because their combat effectiveness was not strong enough, but because of the cunning of the Han army. Of course, this cannot completely erase the impact of Zhenghongqi's failure. Therefore, the Mongolians present were still a little depressed.

"This Zhang Zhun is the last person in Ming Dynasty who can fight."

"As long as we get rid of him, we will have no opponent."

Huang Taiji's face was gloomy and he said slowly.

"Father Khan is right. We were just accidentally caught off guard and fell into the trap of Han Dog! Next time we meet Zhang Zhun again, we will definitely kill him! Everyone knows that Han Dog is not our opponent at all! The warriors of our Great Jin Kingdom will kill Han Dog as easy as killing an ant!"

Haoge said coldly.

He had a Han dog on the left and a Han dog on the right. No matter what the audience is Fan Wencheng, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, the three Han people, seemed to regard them as transparent. In fact, Haoge really had no favoritism for the Han people. Why? Because Dorgon liked dealing with Han people. He and Dorgon were rivals. Since Dorgon liked Han people, he didn't like it.

"Ah Hun, you will tell me about the detailed battle situation."

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice.

Jirgalang nodded and began to introduce the Battle of Dongjiabao in an orderly manner.
Chapter completed!
