Wang Qinian looked behind him triumphantly. The large group of cavalry followed him closely. The vast prairie was at their feet, and the compass was in his hand.
For these two Nala Jurchens, this expedition represents Yu Guozhen's absolute trust in them on the one hand - after ten years, the Mu Nu Army, which originally belonged to Yu Guozhen personally, has now been officially included in the Huaxia Army's Dragoon series. Wang Qinian became the regimental commander of the Dragon Cavalry Regiment, while brothers Mor Geng'e and Xi Teku were the two camp commanders. The entire dragoons are mostly made up of herdsmen from various Mongolian and Manchu tribes. Their riding skills are not inferior to those of the Jianlu, and they are also equipped with cavalry muskets. The actual combat effectiveness of this 3,000-man cavalry regiment is definitely not inferior to that of the Jianlu. Twenty thousand soldiers were built.
"Is it almost there?" Wang Qinian asked.
"Report to the group, we are almost there, Wulin Mountain is ahead!"
"Okay, Xi Teku, remember, we pretended to be an envoy from Liaodong and asked for help. We only said that we had reached Shengjing."
After passing Wulin Mountain, you will reach Gubeikou, also known as Miyun Defender. According to the tactics formulated by Yu Guozhen, Mao Yuanyi, and Song Xiance, after Wang Haoran captured Shanhaiguan, he immediately sent dragoons to gallop around the north of the Great Wall to Gubeikou. This place is also in Jianlu's hands, and it is another way for Jianlu to get out of the pass. As long as he can control Miyun, Jianlu wants his team to withdraw from the pass. The only way is through Zhangjiakou. Not only did it take several hundred and nearly a thousand miles of detours, but it also gave Yu Guozhen more leisurely time to pursue.
What's even more frightening is that although Dorgon gave them the status of imperial merchants in order to win over the influential Shanxi merchants who were considered by the Zhang family, in the face of endless pressure from Xinxiang, these Shanxi merchants were already planning to make their achievements. Atonement. Like the Fan family, they paid a huge price. The purpose is to establish a relationship with Yu Guozhen.
They will sell the Wanquan right guard where Zhangjiakou Fort is located to Yu Guozhen as soon as possible, just like they sold the Ming Dynasty to Jianlu.
Guarding Gubeikou was a group of soldiers from Xianglan Banner. They had not yet learned about the fall of Shanhaiguan. Therefore, they only focused their attention on the south, worried that something might happen to Dorgon in the south. But I never thought that the real fatal danger came from the north.
Sitku grinned. Hidden among many companions. He and Morgan were well-known among the Jianlu, so when something happened, he assigned his men to do it to avoid being discovered.
"You are really from Duoyan. Prince Raoyuis dead?"
Seeing this group of tribesmen wearing filial piety appear in sight, Jianlu, who was guarding Gubeikou, was surprised, so he sent someone to inquire about the result. They were even more shocked.
The king of Raoyu County is Abatai. He was originally ordered by Dorgon to come to Duoyan Guard to gather the Mongols. Then enter the pass from Gubeikou and meet Dorgon. But after arriving at Duoyan. He felt unwell, and at first he managed to support himself. Later, he could only let his son Yue Le take over the military power and go to the pass to support him. Dorgon was extremely dissatisfied with this at first and sent someone to Duoyan to check on Abatai's condition. He gave up after learning that he was indeed too sick to ride a horse.
"That's right. Prince Raoyu passed away three days ago. We were ordered to rush to the pass to report the funeral, and we asked the switch to let him go."
This matter was extremely important, and the person who died was Dorgon's brother, so the flag general guarding the pass did not dare to stop it, and immediately turned the switch on and off.
The next thing was naturally simple. When Wang Qinian arrived, Gubeikou had completely fallen into their hands.
"Very good, Morgan. You stay. I'll give you five hundred men. You can hold Gubeikou for three or four days at most, and our people will come up to help you." Wang Qinian saw that he had not yet captured Gubeikou. One person was injured, and he was overjoyed: "Xitku and I will go to Yanqing Guard again, and this place will be left to you!"
They had to block several important passes before Jianlu could react, such as Gubeikou. In addition to the dragoons led by Wang Qinian, five thousand mounted infantry arrived later. It's just that the riding skills of the mounted infantry cannot be compared with the real dragoons, so the speed is slightly slower.
From Gubeikou to Weijuyongguan in Yanqing, there is still more than a hundred miles, and it will take a day to gallop with a horse. When Wang Qinian led the talents out of Gubeikou, he saw more than ten cavalry galloping towards them. He saw them from a distance. Someone over there shouted: "Stop those who come, but are you the garrison at Gubeikou?"
Wang Qinian signaled Xi Teku to negotiate with the other party. Xi Teku rode forward, but after only a few steps, someone shouted in horror: "Xitku is a southern thief, a southern thief!"
At this time, the two sides were about thirty meters apart. The other side turned around and left. Wang Qinian did not give any orders, and his subordinates did not fire. Instead, they chased him fiercely. After chasing for half a mile, Wang Qinian saw that the other party's riding skills were exquisite. Although his horse power was exhausted, his own horse had also traveled a long way. If he continued to gallop without care, he was afraid that the loss of the horse would be great, so he had toOrder to shoot.
The distance between the two sides was not far from each other, but the accuracy of the musketry fired by galloping horses was not accurate. However, they could not handle the large number of people. After a random shot, all the more than ten horsemen fell off their horses. Three of them were killed by the horses, but the people were only injured. Very few people were injured. They were almost escorted in front of Wang Qinian and Xi Teku.
"You know me?" Xi Teku looked at these Jianlu and said proudly.
"How come I don't know you, you traitor!" One of them spit, and said sternly: "You don't have any good people in La Shi, they should have been slaughtered long ago!"
China's propaganda work is still very good. The word "traitor" has been spread throughout the world, and is known to women and children. Even Jianlu is no stranger to this word. Correspondingly, the term "Manchu traitor" appears. Xi Teku sneered and said: "We are naturally the Nala clan, a Chinese ethnic group, and we are not the same thing as the Jueluo clan who claims to be Manchu. Manchu? I am not Manchu. Where did I rape? Could it be that I raped you Aixin?" The old slave of the Luo family, Nu'er Hachi's mother? That thing was done by Li Chengliang and has nothing to do with me!"
The man said sternly: "Kill if you want, and stop talking nonsense!"
"Cut with a knife." Wang Qinian said impatiently: "Separate. There are always those who can't bear to tell the truth."
This is the way the Chinese army captures prisoners and asks them for confessions. The three living prisoners were taken away for questioning. After a while, screams and scoldings came. The Chinese army treated prisoners preferentially, and treated all surrendered prisoners in a manner consistent with the standards of "benevolence and justice", including execution, but only if the prisoner did not resist, which included cooperation in questioning. If the other party is abusive or silent during the inquiry. This means that the other party is still resisting and the two sides are still in a state of war. So in a state of war, how to deal with opponents is a matter of course.
After a while, a wounded prisoner was dragged in front of them. The Chinese military judge in charge of the torture grinned and said: "This guy is about to be recruited."
"Why are you here?" Sitku asked.
"Bythe order of Uncle Huang Rui Wang, I sent an order to the Gubeikou garrison to defend carefully." The man replied weakly: "The southern thievesah, no. No, it was the Chinese army that occupied Shanhaiguan. King Rui wants to start from Exit Gubeikou and return to the army!"
Wang Qinian and Xi Teku looked at each other. There was both pride and joy in their eyes. After they landed in Qinhuangdao, they rested for only one day to let the horses recover from the discomfort of the sea transport, and then rushed over. With one person and three horses, they all killed more than a thousand horses.
Even so, they were only half a day ahead of the envoy sent by Dorgon.
"How many batches of messengers like you are there in total?"
"In addition to Gubeikou, there are also those going to Juyongguan in Badaling and those going to Wanquanwei Zhangjiakou Fort. There are three batches in total."
"Jianlu responded quickly." Wang Qinian said to himself.
Calculated by time. Now that these messengers have arrived at Gubeikou, the messengers heading to Juyongguan should be almost at their destination. So. It would be difficult for Wang Qinian to capture Juyong Pass. He thought for a while that riding a horse to kill was his specialty, but he was a bit clumsy in this kind of scheming thing. Therefore, he turned around and said, "Tell me, what can you do?"
Knowing that he lacked some intelligence and strategy, Yu Guozhen paid special attention to making up for this aspect when arranging his manpower. His instructor, Lu Ze, is a cunning and wise man but slightly lacking in judgment. After hearing Wang Qinian's question, Lu Ze touched his chin for a while and suddenly laughed: "Do you think Dorgon would send only one group of envoys out of caution for such a big matter?"
"Sitku shook his head: "At least two batches must be sent. If something happens to one batch, we can still make up for it."
"In this case, why don't we pretend to be the second batch of envoys?" Lu Ze said: "We can pretend to be Jianlu. Anyway, we just captured a batch of their clothes and flags in Gubeikou, and then select a few bold and careful ones to pretend to be the second batch of envoys." Just tell the envoy that Dorgon's vanguard has arrived, and ask Shuangshuang to open the door to respond. As long as we get close to the city wall, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle. We won't be unable to capture it, right?"
Wang Qinian grinned when he heard this: "Okay, let's do it like this!"
Once he made up his mind, he couldn't listen to anything else and immediately urged people to go back to the city to pack up his flags and clothes.
However, the number of clothes and flags obtained from Gubeikou was only a few hundred sets, which was a bit small. Wang Qinian was eager to be the first to do anything, let alone such a fun thing, so he let Governor Xi Teku stay behind and dressed up in Jianlu clothes randomly. After thinking about it, he still lacked a fake braid, so he captured a prisoner and cut off his braid. down, hanging on the back of his hat.
"This pig tail is really awkward." As soon as he moved, the fake braid fell off, and Wang Qinian couldn't help but complain.
"takeRope binding, you all also get fake braids, cut it quickly, cut it quickly, we are in a hurry! "Sitku said with a smile and gesticulating.
Fortunately, the hair of the Chinese soldiers was generally short, so many of them temporarily transformed into barbers and used bayonets to shave off the hair in front of them. It should be noted that Jianlu's real braid is not a thick and shiny braid like the ones filmed in later generations of idiotic Qing palace dramas. At this time, the front half of Jianlu's head must be shaved off, leaving only a small lock on the back of the head. The braid must be able to pass through the square hole of the copper coin - this is what the so-called money rat tail means. So after a while, Wang Qinian and others had a rat tail hanging behind their heads, messy in the autumn wind.
(For reasons that everyone knows, I¡¯m late. I¡¯m here to wish you all a happy new year. On the first day of the new year, I traveled around visiting relatives and friends and still had to write code. For the sake of such hard work, please forgive me, haha. .)^-^^-^
