Chapter 269 The Han Nationality

Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace in Beijing.

Dorgon summoned Duoduo, Ajige, Boluo, Sahalian and others into the palace overnight. When Duoduo and others arrived at the Ganqing Palace, they saw that Wu Sangui was already standing in the hall leisurely.

Duoduo and others looked at Wu Sangui in surprise and asked Dorgon: "Fourth Brother, is there something big happening when I am so anxious to summon us into the palace?"

Dorgon glanced at Wu Sangui and said nothing.

Wu Sangui quickly knelt on one knee, beat Duoduo a thousand times, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, as far as I know, the Henan thief chief Hong Niang has formed a cavalry of at least 50,000 cavalry!"

"What did you say?"

"How is this possible?"

Duoduo, Azig, Boro, Sahalian and others were shocked when they heard this.

Ajige even roared angrily: "Henan does not produce horses, so where did the Hongniang get so many war horses?"

Boluo also said: "King Pingxi, have you made a mistake?"

Wu Sangui said: "You will never make a mistake, this matter is absolutely true."

Ajig said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Twelfth brother!" Dorgon frowned, "Although Henan does not produce war horses, have you forgotten Wang Pu? Wang Pu captured hundreds of cattle, sheep and livestock from Tumote's tribe, including tens of thousands of horses. Later, in the Battle of Datong, we also lost tens of thousands of war horses. These war horses were brought to Jiangnan by Wang Pu!"

Duoduo said in a narrow voice: "Fourth Brother, are you saying that the war horses that Hong Niang formed a cavalry were provided by Wang Pu?"

"This is just a guess." Dorgon sighed, "The truth of the matter is still unknown."

Wu Sangui said: "Master, there are only two possibilities for this matter."

Dorgon said: "Oh, let's talk."

Wu Sangui said: "One possibility is that Wang Pu wanted to transfer these war horses to Shandong, and then recruit refugees to form cavalry in Shandong. Because the customs of the south of the Yangtze River are weak, there are no people who can ride and shoot well. If Wang Pu wants to form cavalry, he can only go to the north to recruit soldiers! Then on the way, the war horses were intercepted by the Hongniang."

"There is another possibility that this batch of war horses was given to Hong Niangzi by Wang Pu. It is very likely that the Ming army and Henan bandits secretly formed an alliance because of this batch of war horses. If this is true, the 50,000 Henan cavalry under Hong Niangzi should not be taken lightly."

Dorgon pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Where is more likely to be based on your opinion?"

Wu Sangui said without hesitation: "Although Wang Pu likes to take risks, he does things without any miscalculation. He rarely takes advantage of it. Therefore, the slave thinks that the first possibility is not great! It is no accident that Hong Niang can get 50,000 war horses from Wang Pu. There must be an unspeakable behind-the-scenes transaction."

"So what?" Ajige disagreed. "Even if Hong Niangzi and Wang Pu secretly colluded, it's nothing. We didn't take Wang Pu's tens of thousands of central troops seriously. Do we still care about the more than 50,000 Henan cavalry?"

Wu Sangui asked back, "Your Highness, the question is that we don't know if Hongniangzi's 50,000 cavalry will go to Jining to join Wang Pu's Central Army. What if the 50,000 cavalry will not go to Jining, but wait for our main forces of the Qing army to gather in Jining and then take over our army's retreat and attack Beijing? What should we do?"

"this……"

Aziger was speechless.

Dorgon also frowned in an instant. Although he had summoned 180,000 Mongolian cavalry this time, plus 60,000 Jiannu Eight Banners, with a total force of 240,000, Dorgon even knew Wang Pu's power. This battle was related to Jiannu's life and death. Dorgon would never dare to take it lightly. Without having to do so, Dorgon would never want to leave too many troops to guard Beijing.

In Dorgon's plan, at most 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers were left, plus 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to guard Beijing. But if Hong Niangzi really colluded with Wang Pu, it would be a bit thin to leave only 15,000 troops to guard Beijing!

After a fierce battle, Dorgon's impression of the bandits had already changed drastically, especially Li Yan's bandit cavalry left a deep impression on Dorgon! This Hongniang is Li Yan's woman, and he heard that it is even more difficult than Li Yan. These 50,000 Henan cavalry should not be taken lightly.

But the problem is that if too many troops are left to guard Beijing, it will inevitably affect the Battle of Jining! In the past few months in Beijing, Dorgon has also heard a lot of news. He heard that Wang Pu's Central Army has expanded to more than 100,000 people. Dorgon knows how powerful the Central Army is. If he does not have enough military strength advantages, how can he win this battle?

When Dorgon was in a dilemma, Wu Sangui suddenly whispered: "Master, the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the slave can withstand the 50,000 cavalry of Hong Niang, but..."

Dorgon said coldly: "Tell me!"

Wu Sangui whispered: "However, when pursuing the bandits, the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Juncai was seriously damaged. Although many soldiers were added recently, the war horses were not available. If the slave had 20,000 war horses under his command, it would be enough to monitor Hongniang. As long as Hongniang's 50,000 bandit cavalry of the Juncai took action, the 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Juncai could be dispatched from Taiyuan and intercepted halfway."

"Wu Sangui!" Ajige said furiously, "You are so angry, want 20,000 war horses?"

"I dare not." Wu Sangui hurriedly said, "I just want to share my worries for my master."

Dorgon thought for a while and said in a narrow voice: "Okay, I will give you 20,000 war horses!"

Azig said in disbelief: "Old Fourteen, you..."

Dorgon raised his hand suddenly and continued, "Wu Sangui, remember that in the eyes of all Han people, you are a traitor and a traitor. If Wang Pu really wants to restore the Central Plains, you will die without a place to bury him! And if the Qing Dynasty sat in the world, you, Wu Sangui, are the founding heroes, and you will have endless glory and wealth!"

[Dorgon is the regent of his uncle, and he claims to be me]

Wu Sangui quickly knelt down and beat Qian: "I understand."

"It's good to understand." Dorgon said in a deep voice, "I will give you a handwritten order, and you can take it to the Tongzhou camp to drive the horse."

After saying that, Dorgon turned around and returned to the case, took a pen and wrote an edict and handed it to Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui knelt down and took it and left.

When Wu Sangui walked away, Ajige shouted: "Old Fourteen, Wu Sangui is a guy with ulterior motives and is unreliable."

Duoduo said with concern: "I also think Wu Sangui's move is to increase his Guanning Army's strength, rather than to truly consider the Qing Dynasty."

Dorgon waved his hand and said calmly: "Twelfth brother, fourteenth brother, you are too worried. Wu Sangui already knows that Fan Wencheng has been cut off by Wang Pu and he has no chance of turning back now. If he wants to survive, he has to be a slave of the Qing Dynasty. He has to follow us in one way to the darkness."

In fact, Dorgon had another consideration. If Jiannu could win the Battle of Jining, Wu Sangui would not be able to overcome the situation even if he had more than 20,000 horses. If Jiannu lost the Battle of Jining, he would have to return to the outside of the pass. At that time, Wu Sangui would be forced to retreat to Shanhaiguan and become the first barrier for Jiannu to resist the Ming army.

Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, giving Wu Sangui 20,000 war horses was only beneficial and not harmful to Jiannu.

Duoduo frowned and said, "But where do the horses come from?"

Dorgon said, "Let's borrow it from the Khalkha tribe first and tell Prince Zhuo Creek that after winning the Battle of Jining, I will return him more horses, cattle, sheep and livestock, and reward him with 500,000 Han slaves!"

Outside Donghua Gate.

Wu Sanfu took two steps to catch up with Wu Sangui and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, how can Dorgon really give us 20,000 war horses? Could it be that he was fooling us?"

"No." Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "Mongolian cavalry 180,000, and nearly 300,000 mounts with his army. Dorgon would not care about these mere 20,000 war horses."

"Hehe." Wu Sanfu whispered, "But for our Guanning Army, these 20,000 war horses are important."

"That's it." Wu Sangui said in a narrow voice, "The wealth and life of our Wu family are all pointing to these 20,000 cavalry."

Wu Sanfu said again: "Second brother, who would win this Jining battle?"

"It's hard to say." Wu Sangui shook his head and said, "The Ming army has the advantage of firearms, but Jiannu has the advantage of cavalry, which is about 55."

Wu Sanfu said: "But I think Jiannu may be losing."

"This is not what we should care about." Wu Sangui whispered, "If Jiannu wins, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. Let's be honest as slaves. If Jiannu loses..."

"Yes, what should we do if Jiannu loses?" Wu Sanfu asked worriedly, "Surrender is definitely a dead end. I don't want to be cut into a human pig by the villain Wang Pu. But if we don't surrender, we can only follow Jiannu to retreat outside the pass. It's amazing that you will also let your second brother be the general of Ningyuan. But one day the Ming Dynasty will restore Liaodong, and it will be impossible to escape and die in the end."

"Hmph!" Wu Sangui said coldly, "This is probably what Dorgon hopes for. If the Jining Battle is defeated, let our Guanning army withdraw to western Liaoning. When they are the barrier of Jiannu, they fight to the death with the Ming army. However, I am not as good as his wish. Jiannu really will lose the Jining Battle, hehe."

Wu Sanfu said anxiously: "Second brother, how about it?"

Wu Sangui asked back without answering, "Third brother, do you know why the second brother asked Dorgon for these 20,000 war horses?"

"I know." Wu Sanfu said, "In order to restrain Hong Niangzi's cavalry."

"Bad!" Wu Sangui said, "I want these 20,000 war horses to be prepared. If one day Jiannu is driven out of the Central Plains, we will not be able to gain a foothold in Shanxi. Hehe, then I will take 30,000 cavalry to the grassland and occupy a large area of ​​grassland as our Mongolian prince! No matter how good Wang Pu can, he can't chase the grassland, right?"

"Ah?" Wu Sanfu said in a lost voice, "But that's the territory of the Mongols."

"Bad!" Wu Sangui said disdainfully, "If Jiannu really loses, with Dorgon's viciousness, how many Mongolians can he let him return to the grassland alive? At that time, there will be only the elderly, young, women and children left on the grassland. What will the Mongolian tribes use to resist the 30,000 cavalry of our Wu family? Hehe, who said that only the Mongolians can be the king of the grassland? I am a Han Chinese, so I will be the king of the grassland!"

Wu Sanfu looked at Wu Sangui with admiration and whispered: "It's still my second brother who is powerful."

"Look at the result of the Jining Battle first. If Jiannu wins, we will still be slaves." Wu Sangui said as he saw several Mongolian princes walking towards him, and whispered to Wu Sanfu, "There is still the third brother, don't tell anyone these words, otherwise you and I will die without a place to bury you and I."

Wu Sanfu said in a voice: "Second brother, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Yangzhou, Jiangdu.

Yangzhou magistrate Gu Yanwu was standing on the canal terminal and waiting for him.

Gu Yanwu became a student at the age of fourteen and joined Fushe in the same year. Of course, he was also a member of the Donglin Party. Although he had never passed the Jinshi, Qian Qianyi recommended it to release the prefect of Yangzhou last year. It was a major event for the Central Army to go north to fight against slaves. As the prefect of Yangzhou, Gu Yanwu passed by Yangzhou. Naturally, he had to bring officials of all sizes and big to reward the army.

In fact, this was what Wang Pu hoped that if Gu Yanwu brought the officials in the palace and the people of Jiangdu to reward the army, they could see the prestige of the Central Army, and increase their confidence to the officials, gentry, merchants and people of Yangzhou Prefecture, so that they could know that as long as the Central Army was present, the Ming Dynasty would not perish! The Emperor and Han would not perish!

For a country, the army is undoubtedly the most inspiring people in the country.

The same is true for a nation. A strong army can greatly enhance national identity, enhance national cohesion, and awaken the nation's bloodline!

Since Zhu Xi developed Neo-Confucianism, the bloodline of the Han people has gradually faded. Why was the great Song Dynasty beaten to no aggression by the northern nomadic peoples and eventually destroyed the country? It was because Neo-Confucianism castrated the bloodline of the Han people and turned a group of iron-boned men into a group of docile sheep!

If Neo-Confucianism continues to spread, the entire Han nation will completely become slaves of Jiannu, and then fall from the top of the world into the abyss of shame, and become a lamb who can be slaughtered and enslaved. As a time traveler, Wang Pu cannot allow such historical tragedy to repeat itself, and of course he must do his best to change all this.

The Han people should be integrated, but this integration is by no means based on conquest and enslavement by nomadic peoples.

Ethnic integration is necessary and necessary, but this integration should never be based on the conquest and enslavement of the Han people by nomadic peoples, but on the basis of the Han people as the dominant!

Wang Pu knew that if you want to transform the deep-rooted slavery in the hearts of the Han nationality gentry and the people of the Han nationality, it is far from enough to rely solely on the new education of Mingyang University and to promote Yangming’s heart to the altar. If you want to eradicate the slavery of the Han nationality, the most effective way is to conquer by force and conquer by force!

As long as the Jiannu who had brought disaster to him and conquered the four barbarians and eight deserts, the Han people will naturally develop strong cohesion, and will naturally develop a strong sense of national pride. They will naturally believe that only the Han people are the masters of the entire world.
