Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 411 Keeping people and making enemies

If it was changed before, I am afraid that not many people would believe this news.Everyone will feel that this is the Ming Dynasty or someone who spread the rumor.With more than 1 troops in the Qing Dynasty, how could the Ming Dynasty be destroyed?
However, the elite of the hussars battalion, after several months of scouting battles, including the last small-scale battle, and the fact that Prince Zheng retreated after not daring to fight, and then personally acknowledged the elite of the Ming army, and asked all the tribes to recruit elites. It happened, and many people became skeptical.

Could it be that the Qing army was really not invincible, it really had to lose to the Ming army, and it was defeated so badly, 1 Qing troops were wiped out, isn't there only 1 Qing troops here in Guihua City? ?
Before hearing this news, people from various Mongolian tribes were still full of confidence in the Qing army.I feel that with the Qing army as the main force, luring the Ming army to go deep into the grasslands and cut off their food and grass before a decisive battle will definitely win.

However, at this time, they were suspicious!

Before this kind of decisive battle, there was a problem with the morale of the army. Some Mongolian tribal leaders couldn't sit still, and they ran to see Jierhalang one after another, hoping to get confirmation from him. Is there such a thing?

When Jierharang heard this, he was immediately annoyed.The war is about to start, how could such a thing happen.He didn't admit it or deny it, he just explained in a stern voice that he should take care of the important things in the immediate battle and strictly enforce military discipline.

To this end, he also sent soldiers from the Qing Dynasty to patrol the various camps under the pretext of checking the combat readiness.

However, the more than 1 Jianlu troops in Guihua City were also affected.They all inquired about the situation in Liaodong, wanting to know if there was such a thing.

For them, Guihua City is not their place. They have been out for more than half a year and have long been homesick.Now that my hometown has suffered a defeat and more than 1 people died in the battle, will there be any relatives or friends of my own?

Jierhalang couldn't admit it at this time, otherwise, the morale would be hit too much and it would not be conducive to the decisive battle in front of him, so he pressed down hard.Of course, the reason is sufficient: the forwards of the Ming Cavalry Army are expected to arrive at Guihua City tomorrow, and the battle is about to begin, so they cannot be distracted.

That's it, until the next day, the forward of the Hussar Battalion appeared at the end of Guihua City's field of vision.

Jierhalang remained calm, pretended to be stubborn, and sent cavalry to drive away the attack.However, the forwards of the Ming army did not intend to fight, so they retreated.

In this regard, Jierhalang asserted: "This is to inquire about the news of Guihua City. Knowing that we are still there, the main force of the Ming army will arrive soon."

The leaders of Jianlu and the Mongolian tribes under him all held back their energy after hearing this, and were ready to lure the Ming army to go deeper.

However, what surprised them was that the forward of the Ming army did not appear again.As a last resort, Jierhalang's scouting horse moved a little farther to investigate the movements of the Ming army.The results reported that the main force of the Ming army, that is, the car battalion and infantry did not move, and were still about a hundred miles away from the border. The cavalry also withdrew and assumed a defensive posture.

This time, Jierhalang was dumbfounded. If you don't fight, what are you going to do when you leave the customs?After leaving the customs, but not going on, could it be that they came to camp on the grassland?Or did something happen so suddenly that the Ming army stood still?
He didn't eavesdrop on the seeds, so he didn't know the specific situation of the Ming army.He had no choice but to send troops to harass and lure them.

Finally, the main force of the Ming army began to move again, which made Jierhalang heave a sigh of relief.

However, it moved a day's distance, and then stopped again.

This time, Jierhalang felt like he was going crazy. What did the dog emperor of Ming Dynasty mean?Wouldn't it be a waste of food to stop and go like this?In the previous reports from the horse scouts, it seems that the Ming army left the customs and did not bring too much food and supplies. Could it be that they are not afraid of running out, but they did not fight any battles and went back again?
Soon, his spy sent him the answer to this question.

"Report to Your Highness, it's not good. The cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty drove a large number of carriages and horses, carrying a lot of beef and mutton, and entered the Ming army camp. The smell of meat can be smelled from a long distance..."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the lobby was immediately dumbfounded.

The cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty drove a large number of carriages and horses, carrying a lot of beef and mutton?

How could there be so many horses in the Ming Dynasty, let alone beef and mutton?These things are only found on the grasslands...

Thinking of this, the leaders of those Mongolian tribes panicked immediately, and they didn't care about Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty. They hurriedly asked the Jianlu who came to visit the horse, and they wanted to know further news first.

When they heard that the cavalry seemed to be coming from the east, the leaders of the Urad tribe breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the leaders of the Chahar tribe panicked. They ran out of the lobby in a hurry regardless of the presence of Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty, calling for their personal guards, and hurriedly sent people back to the tribe to have a look.

Azig was very annoyed that the leader of the Chahar tribe ignored him and Jierhalang, but before he got angry, he heard Jierhalang say to the leaders of the Chahar tribe who returned to the lobby: "Everyone Don't panic, this king thinks that this is likely to be a conspiracy by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Just as he was preparing for a decisive battle outside the pass, he used this kind of trick to disturb the morale of our army! Don't be fooled! Besides, your tribe is located in Ming Dynasty. How would the army know where it is? Right?"

Hearing this, the leaders of the Chahar Department felt that it made sense. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that if they cared, they would be chaotic!After all, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sits here, and it is possible for him to transfer the provinces in the customs to perform such a play, isn't it!
Thinking of this, they felt a lot more at ease, but they still had to send someone back to take a look, so they felt at ease.

However, what they never expected was that in just half a day, another scout came to report that another Ming cavalry troop escorted a large number of carriages and horses and dragged countless beef and mutton into the carriage camp. The place where the emperor drives.

This time, even with Jierhalang's guess first, the leader of the Mongolian tribe still panicked.

Last time, they could still believe that it was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who used treacherous tricks to get them from the provinces in the pass, trying to confuse their own troops.However, here comes a large number, what does that mean?Are there so many cattle, horses and sheep in the provinces of the Ming Dynasty?
The leader of the Chahar Department hastily asked the detective about the specific details of the cattle, horses and sheep.The leaders of the Urad Ministry on the side are better, and they are more of a theater-watching mentality.

But this time, the scout said he came from the west.Suddenly, the leaders of the Urad Department panicked, but the Chahar Department breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Erhalang couldn't help it, and while he was puzzled, he brought up that set of arguments again, and added another sentence, before coming from the east, it was a collection of the eastern provinces of Guannei, this time coming from the west, then It was put together from the western provinces.The reason is the same, the war is imminent, to disturb their military spirit and affect their morale.

Although it seemed to make sense, the Urad tribe finally sent people back to the tribe to check the situation.Of course, because Chahar was in front, they didn't panic to be rude to the two princes of the Qing Dynasty.

Although Jierhalang comforted the leaders of the two tribes, he still had hidden worries in his heart.

Because the route of the population and materials escorted back to Liaodong last time was also far away from the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Ming army to encounter it.

Although Chai Shihua was responsible for that incident, Jierhalang had a vague feeling that someone from the Mongolian tribe should have informed Ming.

So this time, although it is reasonable to say that the camps of various Mongolian ministries should be difficult to find, the Ming army will never find it, right?But, what if, if someone in the Mongolian tribe informs, then the Ming army may know about it!

For example, the Chahar Tribe, they are divided into many tribes, if one of the tribes finally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty because of starvation, it seems possible to inform them along the way!

Thinking of it this way, Jierhalang immediately thought of another thing, that is, the news from Liaodong inevitably spread.The Chahar Tribe is located on the east side. Could it be that some of the tribes lost their confidence in the Qing Dynasty and wanted to embrace the Ming Dynasty, and eventually surrendered to the Ming Army?

And now that I think about it, there is another strange thing, why the news from Liaodong happened just when the army was about to fight a decisive battle, so is this also a trick of the Ming Dynasty emperor, just to hit his own morale, but For this, the Mongols must cooperate?

It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

Thinking of this, Jierhalang felt that the battle in front of him would be far more difficult than he imagined.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty really lived up to his reputation, he was a very treacherous and difficult opponent.It's not even a battle yet, so all kinds of methods have been used!
He was thinking this way, before the military discussion was over, hurried footsteps came from outside, and after a while they knew that there was another visit to return.

This time, even Tan Ma showed panic, and reported to Ji Erhalang: "Your Highness, there are also Ming cavalry escorting many cattle, horses and sheep to the carriage camp where the Ming emperor is."

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the Urad Department and the Chahar Department immediately reacted like cats who were startled and frowned, and asked sharply one by one: "Come from that direction, are they from the same direction?" west?"

The Urad Ministry asked exactly the opposite: "It must have come from the east, right?"

At this time, they were not idiots, and they no longer believed in Jierhalang's conjecture, but they were sure that there was definitely a Mongolian tribe that was robbed by the Ming army, and it was definitely not a small tribe!
The probing horse looked left and right at the leaders of the Mongolian tribes who came up, and finally said with a little sympathy: "There are both sides of the east and west. Those beef and mutton combined may be enough to support the Ming army for more than a month."

As soon as these words were spoken, the leader of the Mongolian tribe, who had a lower psychological endurance, could no longer stand up, and fell to the ground with his buttocks, as if he was already a walking dead.

Even those with a stronger psychological endurance cannot accept this reality.With so much beef and mutton, it means that the Ming army must have raided the camps of the Urad and Chahar tribes to get this harvest.

Thinking that the clan would rather starve to death than kill those cattle and sheep, the result was good, but it was cheaper for the Ming army!

He thought that if he didn't listen to the orders of the Qing Dynasty, and didn't mobilize elites from the clan, the Ming army would not be able to succeed with his own clan's army desperately protecting him.Thinking that if he didn't participate in this battle, at least he could live a tight life...

Thinking of later, the leaders of these Mongolian tribes were full of remorse.

There was a leader of the Chahar Ministry, who gave Jierhalang, Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty a hard look, then turned around and left the lobby without saying a word, and left in a hurry.

Some people took the lead, and others were also worried about their tribe, always imagining that their tribe was fine.So, like the first person, they gave Jierhalang and the others a cold look, and some even turned around and walked out of the lobby without even taking a look.

In the end, only the leader of the Jianlu Headquarters was left in the lobby.

"They are lawless, and even despised the king and the Qing Dynasty!" Azig was the first to recover, and immediately slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted sharply, "What are they going to do?"

After hearing this, Ying Erdai replied for the Mongolian leaders: "I guess he wants to lead his troops back to check the situation of their respective tribes."

"Then should we fight this battle or not?" Azig was furious after hearing this and shouted loudly, as if Ying Erdai was one of those Mongolian leaders and wanted to vent his anger on him.

After he finished speaking, he came back to his senses, immediately turned to look at Jierhalang, and shouted loudly: "You still don't care about this matter, are you just going to let them go?"

After hearing this, Jierhalang sighed and said, "At this time, can we still force them to stay? Believe it or not, if the king orders this, they will fight us with all their might, and even stab us in the back. .What might happen to their tribe, how could they survive!"

Hearing this, the angry Azig felt as if he had been poured with cold water, and immediately withered away.Of course he can also understand that keeping people at such a time will become enemies!
He raised his head, looked at Jierharang and asked, "Then what about the next battle?"

Hearing this, Jierhalang couldn't help but sighed again.This is the case with the Mongolian tribes, and it is not the case with the Qing army. They are all eager to return, and they have no intention of fighting here!Now that the Mongolian tribe is gone, it is very unlikely that they will come back.

Thinking of this, he said to Azig: "In this battle, the Qing army alone has no chance of winning. Morale, strength, food and grass, none of them have an advantage. Clean up and return to Liaodong tomorrow. Ben The king will go and plead guilty to His Majesty!"

Although not reconciled, it can only be like this.

But he didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen, who had been checking the eavesdropping seed news, suddenly became excited after seeing what he said.
