Dourgen, who suffered heavy losses, went back to Houjin to supplement the huge loss of the white flag and begged Huang Taiji directly to go to the Mongolian ministries that had joined Houjin Banner to supplement the troops and expand their strength.
Huang taiji, the emperor of the late Jin Dynasty, also wanted to take this opportunity to further strengthen the rule of the late Jin Banner over Mongolia. After increasing the military strength of the late Jin Banner, not only did Dourgen be transferred from the late Jin Dynasty, but he could also further strengthen his position in the late Jin Banner and stabilize his throne.
So Dourgen led the white flag to the Mongolian tribes to supplement the troops, which was given by Huang Taiji.
When Dourgen entered Mongolia, his sworn enemy Wei Zheng was also transferred to Shanxi, and the news came to Dourgen’s ears.
In the face of this embarrassing opponent, Dourgen really wants to go directly to Shanxi with his department to cut the Wei Zheng to pieces … but he knows that he can’t do it with the current strength of the white flag
On the one hand, Dourgen, who entered Mongolia, supplemented the troops of various tribes to expand their strength and train musketeers, on the other hand, he also paid attention to Wei Zheng’s every move and waited for a best opportunity to attack Shanxi by himself and find revenge on Wei Zheng.
Everything comes to him who waits.
I’ve trained 5 thousand musketeers myself, but the time has come for the battlefield …
The news that Wei Zheng Taiyuan killed corrupt officials without looking at the background with his own iron fist caused an earth-shaking earthquake in the whole Shanxi officialdom after Shanxi’s territory.
In this earthquake to clean up corrupt officials, many civil and military officials took an iron hand to avoid defending the levy, beheaded themselves, resigned directly and went home or transferred from Shanxi.
Of course, at this time, some people found a way that everyone couldn’t think of to deal with the Wei Zheng and set off this earthquake, not only to keep their hard work and corruption, but also to keep their high position.
Zuoyun County, located at the junction of Datong Xishan West and Tongmeng, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times because of its dangerous terrain.
Although there are not many people in Zuoyun County because of the annual war, in order to guard against the invasion of Mongolian tribes, 4,000 troops are stationed in this small county, which is commanded by a garrison general.
As the saying goes, when the emperor reached out and guarded the general, he embezzled the military pay more than he ate it.
According to the Ministry of War, there are 4,000 troops stationed in Zuoyun County, but this bold garrison general will directly reduce the total strength of the garrison by 2,500, which means that the remaining 2,500 people can still get full 50% salary every month …
A case of surplus salary fell into the hands of the garrison general.
Wei Zheng purged the officialdom of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. In this earthquake, tens of thousands of silver and civil officials were ruthlessly beheaded by Wei Zheng, and even worse, they embezzled hundreds of thousands of two salaries themselves.
In order to keep the silver and his position, the garrison general directly betrayed his ancestors and boldly decided to lead the rebel department and take the silver and the department to Houjin to continue to be an official …
Once Zuoyun, a military important place in Shanxi, was lost, the Jin and Mongolian cavalry could cross the Great Wall and enter the danger, and they could defend Shanxi for looting.
In the face of this good opportunity that God gave himself, Dourgen will certainly not let it go.
Frank gave General Zuo Yun a job promise and directly took 5,000 elite cavalry. 5,000 musketeers have been trained and formed, and they have entered Shanxi by one person, Zuo Yun Town.
Of course, he has suffered many losses before Wei Zheng, and Dourgen does not intend to defeat Wei Zheng just by relying on ten thousand soldiers in his hands.
In Dourgen’s idea, if he wants to enter Shanxi to attack several counties, Governor Wei Zheng of Shanxi will be suspected by the great court …
If you don’t do it yourself, your opponent Wei Zheng will die in the hands of the great court.
You know the history, dealing with the great frontier guards more than once. This way, the great imperial court was caught in mutual suspicion, and the generals who blocked them were killed by the knife.
After reading the hands of Zhou Yuan, the first idea of sending an emergency intelligence guard is to never let Dourgen achieve it … "
"I just got a letter from Chongzhen, Shanxi, and I will develop my own strength step by step. Once Dourgen’s eyes are reached, I don’t know what the final result will be, but I can be sure that this will definitely bring great trouble to my development path."
So Wei Zheng rushed back to Datong Governor’s Office without thinking.
On the map of Nuoda Assembly Hall in the Governor’s Office, Zheng Zheng asked seriously about the latest situation on the front line.
Kelly Y Zhou, a military adviser, pointed to the two towns marked on the map and said, "The situation of adult Tartars has been clearly investigated … After the attack of 10 thousand, the Jin army was led by Dourgen …"
"The ten thousand people include five thousand fighters with white flags and five thousand musketeers trained by Dourgen …"
"If you put the gold before and after, there will be ten thousand fighters, and it will be impossible for us to attack two county towns with heavy defense in just two days, but with these five thousand musketeers, the siege ability of the Tatars has increased a lot …"
"Map marks these places have been captured by Dourgen …"
Wei Zheng nodded and continued to ask, "Is there any valuable information about him?"
After careful consideration, Kelly Y Zhou replied with a look of doubt, "Officer, there is another situation here that I don’t know if I should say …"
"According to the latest information from the scouts’ regiment, although Dourgen led the attack in Shanxi, the way he fought has changed a lot compared with before …"
"First of all, his cavalry never took part in the siege, and was responsible for protecting musketeers and chasing the enemy. Not only that, but after capturing the town, the Tatars did not stop for a while and then continued to attack a target …"
"Second, the attack on Shanxi Tatars was not simply a looting …"
"According to the report, after the Tatars captured these counties, they killed people in addition to looting money and on a large scale … According to preliminary statistics, more than 20,000 people died in the hands of Tatars in just two days …"
"The former root is impossible …"
Kelly Y Zhou stared at Wei Zheng with a thoughtful face and replied, "The first one explains very well that Dourgen was scared by us and had enough of the pain of playing positional warfare with us …"
"I’m sure that even if we attack now, Dourgen won’t fight positional warfare with us … otherwise, Dourgen, who is good at volley, won’t specially train 5 thousand musketeers to deal with us."
"In the second article, he dourgen wanted to stab us in the back and let us fight each other …"
Seeing the puzzled expression on the strategist’s face, Wei Zheng continued to explain, "You are more familiar with our great law than I am … you should know that our local officials have the responsibility to defend the land …"
"Do you think about how much impact it will have on the capital once the news that tens of thousands of people have been killed by the Dalai Lama in several counties in Shanxi has reached the capital …"
Kelly Y Zhou eyebrows a wrinkly a face of dignified answer "even if we have the emperor letter Beijing those officials will like to smell the blood wolves, this matter in the court constantly canzou us …"
"Yes, that’s right. We will be convicted by the emperor according to the big statutes …"
"And that’s why he Dourgen came here specifically for us …"
Frowning at this time, Kelly Y Zhou’s face has unconsciously revealed a trace of concern to Weizheng and quickly asked, "My Lord, in this case, we must never let Dourgen achieve it, otherwise even with the support of the emperor and the Royal Guards, we can’t continue to gain a foothold in Shanxi …"
"Be sure to find a way to kill these Tatars who entered Shanxi and blocked the mouths of those officials in the court …"
Speaking of this, another trace of worry followed, and Kelly Y Zhou continued to face Wei Zheng. "But he Dourgen’s attack on Shanxi this time is not going to engage in a head-on battle with us … In this case, how can we kill these monks who entered Shanxi?"
When Kelly Y Zhou’s face became more and more worried because of this problem, Wei Zheng pondered, and a pair of eyes suddenly shot out two shirts.
Then he shouted at Kelly Y Zhou, "Got it …"
Chapter two hundred and sixty A godsend
A yellow armor dourgen in Zuoyun county is sitting in the lobby of the garrison office to report the looting and harvest in Zuoyun county.
After that, Lieutenant Umuji said directly with a full face of expectation, "The brave men of Baylor Ye have been fighting for two days in a row … Why don’t we take a day off in Zuoyun County … We should let the brave men relax after looting so many things in our surrounding towns …"
"No …" Dourgen refused without hesitation.
Then the lieutenant looked at the camp outside the city with a pair of puzzled eyes and answered, "Even if you want to relax, you have to relax outside the city … You are not ignorant of how powerful the tiger and leopard army is … If the tiger and leopard army surrounds us in the county, can you stop the tiger and leopard arms and marines from attacking in positional warfare?"
