Chapter 751 The first snow in the second year of Hongguang
"A good thing, I knew that breakfast must be horse meat soup. Mr. Li, let's discuss something. Can we change something else? Change my portion to porridge, and the rice soup will be. I don't know why, but now I smell the fishy smell of horse meat and want to vomit."
"no!"
"Little Jinzi, you monkey, have hard wings. You don't like to eat such good lean meat? I'm talking nonsense to me. This is the order given by our Grandmaster himself. These horse meat must be solved as soon as possible. If you dare to make a condition with me, I won't give you pickles."
"Dede, Mr. Li, don't be angry. Horse meat is just horse meat. I'll eat it, can't I eat it?"
"Little monkey, you dare to waste it for me, let's see how I deal with you!"
"Make sure not to waste, ensure to eat clean..."
In the early morning, the clouds pierced through the clouds. Looking around, the whole world turned black and gray, and it had to spread at least a few dozen miles away.
After more than an hour of busy work, the Azig tribe camp has been almost completely cleaned up.
As the pot was steaming, the children of the model army also started to eat.
However, there was a tide of horse meat during the field battle in Haicheng some time ago. In just a few days, there was a wave of horse meat. Many men were already a little resistant to horse meat.
The main thing is different from beef and mutton, including donkey meat, mule and horse meat.
War horses are extremely tough creatures, and their daily exercise volume is not bad, which leads to too much lean meat and too little fat. Not only does they have a strange sour taste, but they also have a very bad taste.
If you carefully marinate it for a while and then cook it, it would be better. But at this time, even if the fire soldiers of the Model Army have many unique skills, they are still exhausted.
Not to mention the men, even Xu Changqing was a little tired.
But you can't ignore it.
Although the weather is getting colder at this time, it is impossible for the troops to have time to carefully prepare these horse meat, and they must be digested as soon as possible.
Horse meat may not be delicious, but it has nutrients that are very needed for the human body. Xu Changqing can only set an example and eat it hard.
During the breakfast, the results of the battle have been counted in detail.
In this battle, the Model Army seized nearly 500 heads of the two white flags, including nearly 200 small ones in Zhen Manchu and nearly 3,000 war horses.
More weapons and armor.
There are nearly 5,300 pairs of armor and nearly 10,000 weapons, especially some Mongolian bows of good quality, with six or seven hundred pairs of them, many of which do not need to be changed in strings, and can be used with a little maintenance.
Although the model army of bows and arrows are about to be eliminated at this time, they are still useful, especially if they do not collect troops at night.
Even at this time, Haicheng's craftsmanship level is extremely difficult to make Mongolian bows made with this traditional craft. Other types of bows are not as easy as Mongolian bows. This is a considerable wealth. If it is sold on the black market, it will be at least dozens of taels.
This is mainly because the model army's offensive was quick and decisive. Many Tartars with the two white flags were in chaos before they woke up and there was no time to clean up.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get such a treasure so easily.
Although this battle did not cause fatal damage to the Azig tribe, it was no less than giving him a blow. It took less than three or five days, or even ten or half a month, and they would never have thought of recovering.
However, at this time, Xu Changqing did not have much joy in winning the battle...
Perhaps it was the sour taste hidden in the horse meat, or perhaps it was the black and gray that was everywhere, which made Xu Changqing feel inexplicably unhappy.
Fortunately, Xu Changqing made a lot of preparations on the way yesterday, asking his men to clear out some "isolation belts" every now and then, effectively preventing the spread of the fire. Otherwise, the scale of the fire would double again.
This is the best grain field in the Qingzhou Plain.
At this time, I can only use "burning wasteland" to comfort myself.
Xu Changqing also felt ruthless: "We must solve the big tumor of the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible! At least, we cannot allow them to enter the Ming Dynasty's controlled area so randomly!"
Otherwise, this kind of harm will be completely marred...
After breakfast, I cleaned up briefly. Xu Changqing was about to call the troops to continue the march when suddenly a personal soldier reported, "Someone is coming in Qingzhou."
Xu Changqing thought for a while and didn't go to see the people from Qingzhou, so he asked Hong Niang to comfort her and then finished it.
Xu Changqing was a little embarrassed to say about winning a battle with grain fields and did not intend to report his merits. He could just soothe the people in Qingzhou first.
For others, this kind of victory at the level 500 head level may be like a "determined" and can be promoted and made a fortune and brag about the glory of a lifetime, but for Xu Changqing, it is just a trick, so what is worth showing off?
In this state of Ajige, it is already difficult to launch an offensive against Qingzhou again, and it is also destined that the battlefield will move south, which is enough.
...
Just as the model army maintained its own rhythm and continued to move south slowly.
As the evening approached, Dorgon's main force, who had gathered seventeen or eighteen Niulu, finally received news of Ajige's defeat in Qingzhou.
"What?"
"Old Twelve, he was killed by Xu Changqing in Qingzhou? None of the two big cities in Denglai were defeated?"
Duoduo was in a good mood and was waiting for some servants to come over to take down the plump Jining City first and start a good meal, but he was directly punched by the bad news and was bored on the spot.
Fortunately, there were only Dorgon, Fan Wencheng, Sony and others in the tent at this time. The news had not spread out yet and could still be controlled.
Looking at Dorgon, Fan Wencheng, and Sony, all of them were dull and did not speak. Duoduo was also much more awake, but he still couldn't help but curse: "I have advised Lao Twelve long ago. When I met Xu Changqing, I was more obedient, but why didn't this guy listen? This is a good thing..."
Duoduo wanted to scold again, but was facing Dorgon's cold and fierce look, so he could only swallow the words to his mouth again.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Fan Wencheng hurriedly smiled and smoothed out: "The Regent, Prince Yu, and Prince Wuying are not considered defeat. There are only a few hundred casualties, and the foundation is not damaged, so it can only be considered a small setback. Besides, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Xu Changqing and the others will definitely relax, and this will be a good opportunity for my Qing Dynasty..."
I have to say.
Literature is literati.
As for Fan Wencheng's words, he would be afraid that he could even make him live. The same thing would be filtered out from his mouth and then come out, and it would be different in an instant.
Even Sony has to admire Fan Wencheng's ability.
He nodded in agreement and said, "Regent, Lord Fan is right. According to the itinerary of the Model Army, it will take about five or six days, seven or eight days to get to Jining, which is enough for our main forces to gather. Prince Wuying suffered a small setback this time, and I think he must be holding his breath, and at the critical moment, he will definitely play a greater role."
Duoduo also came back to his senses and praised: "That's the case. Brother, we should look at it longer-term."
Listening to the repeated bombings of several people, Dorgon's face looked a little better, nodded and said, "Why is it a blessing to lose his horse? Immediately, please order Prince Wuying not to touch Xu Changqing's tiger's butt and gather at Jining as soon as possible. In addition, 15th, you will personally invite Hong Chengchou and Ning Wan me. We will continue to discuss matters and must decide the specific strategy as soon as possible!"
“…”
Duoduo was a little reluctant. When would he serve these Han slaves?
But seeing Dorgon's somewhat unkind eyes, he also understood that Dorgon wanted to win over the Han people vigorously, so he could only pinch his nose and ask for someone.
...
Dorgon's order was sent back that evening
Here at Ajig.
Although he did not use any harsh words, Ajige could still feel Dorgon's dissatisfaction with him, and his hatred was so loud that his teeth were itchy!
Even though Dorgon didn't spread the matter in the end, he undoubtedly pressed Ajige's face to the ground and rubbed it.
In the future, when I see Dorgon again, I can't help but he will shorten his head first...
This is a bit fatal to Ajige, who is arrogant and has never suffered too much setbacks in his life.
In fact, Ajige didn't want to report this matter. After all, it was really a shame and humiliation.
But this link is too critical at this time.
Ajige is not confused. He is afraid that if he hides it and does not report it, he will personally understand Xu Changqing's foundation.
As long as he seizes the opportunity, it will be fatal every moment.
"Xu Changqing, I have recorded this account with you! Please wait for me! If I don't avenge, I, Ajige, will not be a human being!!!"
After being bored for a long time, Ajige had no better way to deal with it, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to make a vicious oath.
...
Early the next morning, Xu Changqing received the news that the Ajige tribe was resting in an abandoned town in southern Qingzhou, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
To be honest, Xu Changqing really wanted to confront Ajige again and try to hit him in the vital light, but at this time, Ajige and his men seemed to be difficult to do when the decisive battle was not done.
Because the model army is stronger than them, they must be careful everywhere.
With their mobility, if they do not make mistakes on their own initiative, it will be difficult for Xu Changqing and the Model Jun to get a bargain.
Especially if the Ajige tribe really wants to "supervise" with the Model Army, it would be easy to say in an open area like the Qingzhou Plain, but once it reaches a place with a cramped terrain, the Model Army will be uncomfortable.
In addition, if the Ajige tribe retreated, Xu Changqing would eat more than 100,000 Han slaves they left in Fuzhou, Laizhou.
Compared to others, this is the real big bonus!
Even if Ajige ran away, Xu Changqing did not rush to do so. He was a little afraid of the turtle son's tricks, so he would kill him again and shoot him back.
After two more days, on September 30, it was confirmed that the Ajige tribe was about to arrive in Jining. Xu Changqing asked Zhang Hu tribe to take action and directly plunder their temporary stronghold on the bank of Shahe River in the southern part of Laizhou.
Ajige also understood that he could no longer save these gains. The slaves were all removed very cleanly, leaving only a few unscrupulous Han slaves to guard them.
At noon on the first day of October, good news came from Zhang Hu's army. They, together with Wang Tingchen's army in Laizhou, took all the Han slaves and beheaded nearly 700.
In addition, in order to support the Model Army's expedition, Wang Tingchen presented 1,500 good horses to the Model Army.
After ordering Wang Tingchen to temporarily gather these Han slaves near Laizhou to ensure their basic life, the fleet of the Model Army would then allocate some daily necessities to them. Xu Changqing was truly relieved.
A good start, it's really won!
"Snow!"
"It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing."
"Fuck, it's really snowing. This is the first snow this winter..."
Just after all this was arranged, Xu Changqing suddenly heard children shouting outside the carriage. He hurriedly opened the curtains and saw that, sure enough, rustling snowflakes had already floated in the sky, splashing in a row, reflecting the whole world in a vague holiness.
This also made Xu Changqing's mood unstoppable.
Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest!
This is also the first snowfall in Hongguang's second year.
Chapter completed!
