Chapter 403
"Lord, I can't surrender to Jiannu with you!" Chen Xu suddenly roared and pulled out the knife from the scabbard.
Several of Li Hong's personal soldiers quickly drew their swords, but saw a flash of sword light. The knife in Chen Xu's hand slashed through his neck like lightning, blood splattered, and his strong body fell down with a bang.
"Brother!" Li Hong pushed away the personal soldiers around him, rushed to Chen Xu, squatted down, hugged Chen Xu, who was still breathing, and whispered in his ear in a voice that others could not hear, "Good brother, I am a false surrender, but I can't tell you brothers. For the sake of the great cause of the lord, each of us can sacrifice..."
Chen Xu showed a smile on his face and his eyes slowly closed.
Li Hong stood up: "He is a warrior, and he was buried with a grand funeral."
"Brother, we respect you as a hero! I didn't expect you to be such a person! You betrayed the Khan, your brothers, our Tumotes, and your entire naturalization! Just to be a dog for the Jurchens!" Tuguqi and several passionate men pulled out their swords and rushed up, but were stopped by their personal soldiers.
"Tie them!" Li Hong gave the order fiercely.
The gate of Guihua City was wide open, and the Qing army rushed into the city.
Li Hong and the senior generals of Han led a group of Mongolians and Han people to kneel on both sides of the street to welcome the invincible Qing soldiers into the city.
Dorgon and Yue Tuo rode on the tall horse and led the Qing troops into Guihua City with a proud look.
"Guihua City must return to the Qing Dynasty. The Tumote tribes and the maid slaves who surrendered to you will give a Niulu quota to enter the flag. You must shaved your hair and braids when you enter the flag. Whether you enter the flag or not, all the Tumotes who surrendered to our Qing Dynasty will move eastward and go to the Duoyan grassland, so that they can take care of each other with the Korqin tribe. The tribes who do not enter the flag can not shaved their hair and braids, and retain the Mongol hair style, but they must also move eastward." Dorgon sat in the palace hall of the former Omubu, looking at Li Hong and others standing in the audience and said.
Li Hong and Hang Gao surrendered generals stood below. After listening to Dorgon's words, Li Hong stood up, put his right hand on his chest, bent down slightly and saluted: "I promise! I will thank Master Beile for his kindness for meeting you!"
"Subud, you are going to enter the flag. Your etiquette needs to be modified," Dorgon said with a smile, "Peach the etiquette!"
"Zhe! I'm here!" Manzhu Xili stood up.
Dorgon pointed at Li Hong and said to Manzhu: "Manzhu, teach General Subude. Since he has entered the flag, the rules must follow us!"
Man Zhu Xili walked up to Subude: "General Subud, you will also enter the flag in the future. When you see the Manchurian Master Beile and the prince, you will call yourself a slave. The master of the master told us that when we come down, we must kneel down and call "其". These are all rules. Can't you beat Qian? I can teach you!"
"You may not be used to it at first, but you must understand that calling yourself a slave is the reward from your master! How many people want to be slaves of our Qing Dynasty and still can't be called by us! Only the bannermen can be qualified to call themselves slaves, and those who have not entered the banner are still called according to their original titles. However, the status of the bannermen is much higher than that of those who do not enter the banner! Those who do not enter the banner, whether they are Mongolians or Han people, are slaves of us slaves." Man Zhu Xili continued.
Li Hong felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. Although the Mongolians were of clear hierarchy and had slavery, no Mongolian general knew that they called themselves slaves in front of the Khan. Isn’t slaves only eunuchs able to claim themselves? In fact, there were slaves in the Ming Dynasty. The maids and servants in the family were all slaves. These people called themselves slaves or slaves. How could they hear that a high-ranking lord called himself slaves? Only this Qing Dynasty had such rules.
"Zha, I understand." Li Hong endured the humiliation and said a thousand times.
Dorgon stood up from the throne, walked down the steps, walked to Li Hong, and patted his shoulder gently: "General Subud is really a brave general! This time Benbeile's expedition to Mongolia in the west may start a war with Omubu in a few days. If General Subud is inconvenient at that time, he can avoid it for the time being and do not have to participate in the war."
Of course, Li Hong knew that Dorgon was testing him, so he kowtowed to the ground and said, "Please don't worry, Mr. Beile, I am no longer a member of Omubu! If I meet Tumote's army, I will definitely not show mercy!"
"Okay! General Subude, please get up quickly!" Dorgon stretched out his hand and helped him for a moment.
Li Hong took advantage of the situation to stand up, thanked Dorgon, and retreated to the ranks.
In the grassland of the desert, the three Khalkha Khans led more than 100,000 Khalkha Mongol army and 10,000 Tumot cavalry led by Tumot Khan arrived at the Chahar tribe. Li Guodong's chariot camp and infantry also arrived. There were a total of 1,000 sled cars, 3,000 chariot camp and 5,000 infantry, plus Li Guodong's own two thousand cavalry, and there were also 10,000 people and horses. Li Guodong's heavy cavalry were all one horse and one camel. He rode camels when marching and horses when fighting.
"What kind of car is this? Why don't there be wheels?" Shuolei looked at the vehicles that had no wheels but could run on the snow in surprise.
"It's a sled car, you can walk on both the snow and the ice." Li Guodong replied
"But after this thing melted, it was useless at all." Shuolei shook his head in disappointment.
Then everyone gathered in Ezhe's golden tent to discuss how to deal with the Qing army's invasion.
"First of all, I want to tell you a very bad news. Our cavalry came to report that Guihua City has been lost." Li Guodong spoke out a news that shocked Omubu.
"This traitor Subud! He actually lost Ben Khan's naturalization!" Omubu's mood was almost out of control.
"Okay, Khan, don't blame General Subude. It would be great to be able to carry Jiannu for a month in such a small town! If it weren't for Subhude, I'm afraid that when Jiannu came, you would have abandoned Jianhua and ran away?"
Omubu sat down weakly and sighed.
"Okay," Li Guodong asked someone to get the map, "Now let's talk about those useless things, let's discuss how to defeat Jiannu. Only by repelling Jiannu can you regain your naturalization."
"I Khan was afraid that when Jiannu retreated, he would burn his naturalization again." Omubu sighed.
"No, our spies reported that Subude opened the city and surrendered when he really couldn't defend it. Since it was a surrender, I believe he could grasp the right position and would not let Jiannu burn naturalization."
The map was taken, and Li Guodong asked someone to spread the map on the table. He gestured at the map: "From Hetao to the west of the Mo, there is a section of wasteland without snow in the middle. My car camp cannot enter that kind of place at all. If we want to fight against Jiannu, our army can only take the initiative to block Jiannu from the south of the Yellow River in the Hetao grassland!"
Shuolei said: "General Li, in winter combat, although your car camp can exert its power, the Jurchens can fight in thick armor. Unlike in summer combat, they can't hold on for long in thick armor. This is very unfavorable for us Mongolians."
Gunbu also said: "General Li, although your heavy armored iron cavalry is powerful, if you encounter the Jurchens' firearms, you may suffer heavy losses? This time, the Jurchens brought all the Han people's firearms and weapons, and the situation is very unoptimistic."
For Li Guodong, the biggest concern was not the heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners, but the firearms and weapons of the monk Kong Youde, and the firearms of the Qing army were not the corruption and shoddy garbage from the Ming army, and each piece was a fine firearm made strictly by strict supervision. Li Guodong's army also captured Qing army bird guns, nine-headed bird guns and Fran machine cannons. The quality of the weapons was comparable to those built by himself, and was much better than the quality used by the Ming army.
"To deal with the so-called Tianbless soldiers and Tianbiao soldiers, we still have to rely on our cooperation with each other. You harass you from afar, but don't rush too close and consume their ammunition. Our people will naturally launch guns to bombard their formation. Don't forget that my chariot camp is also a firearm soldier, and the chariot camp is a mobile fortress."
