Chapter 285 Horqin
After leaving Ningyuan's defense out, Wu Sangui's 25,000 troops gathered in the military camp in the city. There were also elite Tartar soldiers patrolling around, which was clearly prepared.
After meeting Haoge, Wu Sangui returned to the military camp. As soon as he entered the tent, he smashed his helmet hard on the desk: "The Donglu bullies me too much!"
He said: "Call the two and three sons' confidants to me."
Soon, a few confidants came to the big tent.
Seeing that Wu Sangui was angry, they all comforted him.
Wu Sangui said: "The Tartars said it well, but he clearly regarded me, Wu Sangui, as a slave. Not only was he very cautious, he was also so domineering."
He told the story of his meeting with Hauge and said, "This Tartar seems rude, but he is also a little scheming. He is not completely reckless, but he also knows how to understand the background of King Xia."
The confidant said, "Fortunately, Bo Ye decided to surrender to King Xia. After all, the Tartars were Tartars. If they surrender to the Tartars, we would lose our roots and could only be slaves to the Tartars."
Wu Sangui sighed, "Yes, you and I are Han people. The Tartars are barbarians. If the Tartars enter the prefecture of China, you and I will be afraid of them. After all, there are many Han people in this world. Although the Tartars are tyrannical, they are not fools."
As he said that, he was excited: "With my uncle dealing with me, I handed over Ningyuan's defense and had initially gained the trust of the Tatar Chief Haoge. Next, I will send someone to inquire about the news at his command. I will send some troops out later and send me troops out with great difficulty. At any cost, I must clearly explore the deployment of the Xia King near Shanhaiguan to win the trust of the Tatar Chief."
Several confidants looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Wu Sangui said again: "In addition, I have another idea."
Speaking of this, his voice lowered, like a mosquito and flies: "The King of Xia is invincible, and you and I know it. On the front battlefield, even if you turn against each other during the war, it is just a icing on the cake. To gain a lottery in front of Xia, you must have a credit that can be taken."
Wu Sangui knew how strong the army of King Ying Yi of Xia was, and in fact the Tatars knew. Turge was defeated outside Shanhaiguan. Although Wu Sangui had not seen it with his own eyes, he sent Ye Busu to watch. The Tatars attacked this time, one was a last resort, and the other was still unbelievable that the Manchu elite soldiers would be defeated, deceiving themselves, and thinking that they were still the so-called "invincible".
In fact, if the Tartars had not sent troops to attack at this time, Wu Sangui would not surrender to the Tartars, and he would eventually surrender to Ying Yi. Wu Sangui was not a fool.
He is just greedy for power and is reluctant to let go.
"My uncle has already found out that the Tartars have been attacked by the whole country, and they want to compete with the King of Xia to determine the fate of the country. In addition to the vanguard of Haoge, there will be another 200,000 troops in the future. Once Dorgon leads the army, the nest behind him will definitely be empty. If he takes this opportunity to break the Tartars nest and capture the relatives of the Tartars, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
When a few confidants heard this, they were all moved.
One man whispered: "Brother, the Tartars are very cautious. How can they get rid of the Tartars' eyeliner and attack their nest?"
Wu Sangui smiled and said, "Didn't Haoge ask me to inquire about King Xia's troops? I'll send more troops out. With those few, you four are leaving only two of you by my side, and the other two take this opportunity to get rid of the Tartars' eyeliner..."
...
Korchin.
The Tatar Korqin Duoyan tribe began to marry the Donglu as early as the era of the slave chief Pi Nurhaci. The old Tatar Manggusi married his daughter Zhezhe to Huang Taiji and began to fall to the Donglu. Then the son of Manggusi Buhe also married his daughter Bumubutai and Hailanzhu to Huang Taiji. His aunt and nephew worked with him and completely connected with the Donglu.
Now the Tatar Korchin tribe is in power, Wu Keshan, son of Buhe, who is the brother of Bumubutai and Hailanzhu. He was named Prince Zhuoliketu by the Qing Dynasty.
Buhe, also known as Zhaisang of the Korqin Duoyan tribe, has four sons and two daughters.
Wu Keshan is the eldest son, and he has three brothers, Chahan, Sonom, and Manzhu.
These four brothers are now in power in the Korqin Duoyan tribe.
Dorgon wanted to decide the fate of the country with Ying Yi, and the troops from all over the country would fight, so he would naturally not ignore the powerful Korqin tribe.
Wu Keshan summoned the three brothers: "The Emperor of Qing issued an order to send me Korqin to send 30,000 troops to attack the Southern Dynasty."
The Korqin tribe had a large power, but now it was not easy to generate 30,000 troops. One was the case when the Qing Dynasty formed the Eight Banners of Mongolia, a large number of troops were recruited from the Korqin tribes. The other was the case with many restrictions on the Tatar tribes and the Tatars were not allowed to have too many troops.
When the few people heard this, they all started to make a fuss.
Sonom said: "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty wanted us to be obedient and not let us have too many soldiers. The total number of four brothers is only 40,000 now, and only 10,000 will be left if 30,000 is transferred. If something happens, what can I use to resist?"
This is not a false statement.
Korchin was not the only Tatar, there were many tribes such as Tumote. The Tatar tribes were not harmonious. On the contrary, they fought against each other. Especially the Tumote tribes, there were many conflicts with Korchin. In his early years, Korchin had many wars with Tumote.
It was not until Korqin surrendered to the Donglu that the situation gradually reversed and Korqin began to gain the upper hand.
However, if most of the troops were transferred this time and the Qing Dynasty focused all its energy on the Southern Dynasties, once Tumo moves in a special way, Korqin will be unable to resist it.
Chahan also said: "Brother, if the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty wants us to send troops, it's fine. He just needs to let us expand our army."
The beads practice etiquette without saying anything.
Wu Keshan said: "You want to be beautiful. Expand the army? The efforts of your grandfather and father, your army will be gone."
Chahan was speechless.
Isn’t it just to marry so many women to enjoy for the Donglu to make the Donglu trust them? Now that they are asked to send troops, they have to expand their troops. How can they make the Donglu trust them again?
Wu Keshan said: "Don't worry too much. Prince Rui wrote to me in a secret letter that the Qing Dynasty also sent people to contact Tumote and promised to make a great profit. I believe Tumote would also send heavy troops to go south. In this way, he would have no spare energy to invade my Korqin."
Man Zhu Xili said at this time: "If this is the case, you can send troops. It's just that brother, what's the benefit of asking us to send troops?"
Wu Keshan laughed and said, "We have half of the wealth of the Southern Dynasties."
When the three of them heard this, they suddenly burst into cold air.
Sonom said: "Half?! That's a lot!"
Chahan said: "The capital of the Southern Dynasty was extremely prosperous, half... why did it cost ten million taels of silver?"
Man Zhu Xili sneered: "Ten millions? More than one hundred million!"
"One hundred million!?"
Chahan and Sonom screamed.
Wu Keshan said: "Manzhu Xili is right. The Southern Dynasty was prosperous and rich, and the capital was at the center. I don't know how many wealthy and noble people were, and they were fat and fat."
"Send troops like this...send troops!"
Chahan shouted immediately.
"Send troops!" Sonom stood up: "Even if we four brothers divide the money equally, each of us can get 25 million. Tsk, it's really..."
