Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 59

The Nanming army wiped out the decline in Yunnan, and almost quickly wiped out many counties, but it does not mean that the Qing army gave up resistance completely, especially the two commanders of the Manchu Banners who were stationed in Yunnan. Thousands, but still will not give up easily on the Ming army.

Yide, the capital of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, sneered when he learned that Wu Sangui and Aixing'a failed to send troops to Burma.But when the original Nanming surrendered general near him led his soldiers and horses to surrender back to Nanming, Ilde realized the seriousness of the matter.

Erde quickly got in touch with Zhuo Luo, the commander of the Eight Banners. At this time, the four thousand and eight banner troops led by Erde and Zhuo Luo were all the strength they could rely on.Moreover, the Eight Banners are not simply the Manchurian Eight Banners, but also the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners.

"Wu Sangui can't hold it anymore? Isn't this old thief quite capable of fighting? Li Dingguo has been defeated by him many times, why is Li Dingguo held in Kunming this time, like an old dog." Zhuo Luo met Yi Er After the virtue, immediately discuss important matters with him.

Both of them were talking in Manchu. In the border of Yunnan, although Wu Sangui was the real caller, they directly represented the Qing court, and Wu Sangui did not dare to ignore them.

Ilde sighed: "I don't know if it's because the Ming Dynasty's vitality is not exhausted, but now there are rumors outside that Zhu Cixuan, the crown prince of Zhu Ming, was chosen to save the common people. All kinds of rumors have their noses and eyes, and the foolish people believe it."

Zhuo Luo snorted and said, "Prince Zhu Ming? But what can a teenage boy do? I heard that Li Dingguo got help from Westerners and brought in many new guns. It’s very different from before. Wu Sangui’s arrogant soldiers underestimated the enemy, leading to the defeat in northern Burma, and what’s more damning, he lost General Aixing’a and thousands of my Eight Banners.”

Ild said: "In any case, the situation in central Yunnan has changed drastically. The Ming army is coming fiercely, and those Han people who are on the fence have surrendered back. We are stationed in the camp, and I am afraid that we will be attacked by the Ming army soon."

Zhuo Luo was not afraid, "What's so scary about the Han people? They used to have firearms, but we didn't have any firearms outside the customs. It was really hard to be beaten by them. But after entering the customs, we took over the Han people's craftsmen's workshops and had all kinds of weapons. Firearms, my Manchurian warriors are born to be much better at fighting and braver than the Han people, as long as they are off the battlefield, my Manchurian men are all tigers and wolves, and the Han men are pigs and sheep, and they will be slaughtered by us at will."

Erde still couldn't settle down, and wanted to say a few more words, but Zhuo Luo said with hidden anger: "Li Dingguo is too deceitful. He blasphemed the bravery of our Manchurians, and actually erected a first-level monument in Burma. The buried ones below are all the severed heads of my disciples of the Eight Banners. Hearing this, I couldn’t sleep all night, wishing I could eat the flesh and blood of the traitor Li Dingguo, and tear him into pieces to comfort the heroic spirit.”

Elder also heard about this, and his anger was the same, but he still said: "There are many strange things about the Ming army's counterattack on Yunnan this time. Wu Sangui's army has been defeated repeatedly, and the Ming army seems to have changed people. It's hard to understand. We still need to think long-term about revenge. Now the world is in my hands, and the hypocrisy is at the end of its strength. As long as your Majesty gathers the elite of my Eight Banners and leads them to the Green Camp, they will attack the Ming army in Yunnan. , the world can be at peace. It’s just that at this time, the Ming army is powerful, and our Qing army has few soldiers. Rushing to war will only waste the lives of my Eight Banners. It’s better to wait for the reinforcements from Guizhou and Guangxi to come and fight the Ming army. .”

Although Zhuo Luo was reckless, he was not a fool.He knew that the [-] troops in Yide's hands and his own were very weak. The Nanming army attacked with at least fifty or sixty thousand troops.

Zhuo Luo said very unwillingly: "If it weren't for the fact that my life is ten times more expensive than that of a man, I would have to give Li Dingguo and Zhu Cixuan a try. Back then, my grandfather killed all the way from Liaodong to Yunnan, and there are no Nanman men who have been beheaded. Five hundred is also three hundred. How long will Li Dingguo be proud today? When the imperial army comes to kill me, I will wash Yunnan with blood and kill all those Han people who are changing around!"

Although Yild was a bit more sensible than Zhuoluo, in their concept of the Eight Banners, it was useless to keep so many Han people. Only by killing more Han people could they provide land for their Manchurians.It is enough to keep those who are willing to kneel down and be their slaves, grow food, weave cloth, and make some playthings for them.

The two of them were imagining how they would kill innocent people on the land of Yunnan in the future, when they heard a commotion outside the camp.

"What's the noise, what's the proper way?"

"Reporting to Mr. Dutong, a spy reported that the Ming army horse army appeared twenty miles away and was heading towards my camp."

Ild was startled and asked quickly: "How many people are there?"

"I don't know the details. The spies said that there seem to be at least a thousand people."

Zhuo Luo spat and said: "There are a thousand Ming army cavalry, what is there to be afraid of? Wait until I lead my troops and destroy them."

Yide quickly stopped Zhuo Luo and said: "The current actions of the Ming army, the cavalry will not move alone except for scouts, since the cavalry has come, it means that the infantry of the Ming army is also coming, is it true that the Ming army wants to surround and kill us? ?”

Zhuo Luo said angrily: "Surround me and kill me? Are you really treating our Manchu warriors like dirt? Today we must let these Han dogs know that Grandpa Manchu kills them in the blink of an eye."

Both Yild and Zhuo Luo knew that the Ming army's cavalry had already reached twenty miles away, so they might not be able to leave the camp in time, so they had to rely on the big camp to fight the Ming army.There are also a lot of cavalry in the Eight Banners Army, and they will naturally not be frightened when they meet the Ming Army.

Zhuo Luo himself got on his horse and put on his clothes for battle.He also took a thousand cavalry and went out to fight.He was born in the Zhengbai Banner, and the soldiers and horses under his command were all the elites who followed Dorgon back then, and they were also the ones being squeezed out by the two Yellow Banners of Shunzhi and Kangxi.Although after Dorgon's death, Zhengbai Banner became one of the upper three banners and was directly controlled by the emperor.

Zhuo Luo has been extremely aggrieved since this battle, and he wants to kill some of the Ming army's mighty prestige with all his strength.He also does have the capital of pride, his troops are quite elite, not only the best horses under his crotch, but also everyone is wearing cotton armor, except for cold weapons such as knives and guns, many of his cavalry are actually Equipped with a shotgun.In fact, the Eight Banners of Manchuria have not always been heavy cavalry, but "dragon cavalry" who ride on horseback and dismount to fight.

In Zhuoluo's impression, the Han army was inherently cowardly and would be dispersed with just a casual attack.And his ferocious Zhengbai Banner elites would rush into the herd like tigers and defeat the Han army. In his eyes, the Ming army had only two ways, one was to be slaughtered by them, and the other was to defeat the Han army. Begging for mercy in front of him.
