Daming pirates

This time they had a smooth journey into the Pass, going straight down for more than 2,000 miles without any surprises, going deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and returning home with a large plunder. In the short half year of the establishment of the slave army, they rarely encountered opponents and rarely suffered defeats.

Even if they occasionally encounter sneak attacks by the Ming army, they are only fought by small groups, and it is nothing to suffer a small loss.

They had never suffered a decent defeat, so that these slave-building soldiers and generals had already turned their nostrils to the sky during this period, and they had reached the level of arrogance. Their self-confidence could be said to be extremely high, and they thought they had conquered the world.

Invincible, even the Eight Mongolian Banners and the Han soldiers who surrendered to them thought they were too invincible.

This is a very good phenomenon for an army. It can make the army full of confidence, not afraid of any enemy, and allow the soldiers to exert their strongest combat effectiveness on the battlefield. In a derogatory sense, this is

A kind of arrogance, but in a positive sense, it is a military sense of honor.

However, the self-confidence and sense of honor they had built up were completely destroyed by the Yu Jiajun in the past few days at Tianjin Guard. The newly established self-confidence that they were invincible in the world was defeated in front of the Yu Jiajun.

Crush smash.

In the past two days, as long as Dorgon called someone's name and asked him to fight, the faces of these soldiers would immediately turn livid. Although they did not dare to disobey, their expressions, as if they were on the execution ground, made their hearts ache.

Fear is betrayed.

What makes Dorgon and Du Du most uneasy is not these, but the more than 30,000 Mongolian Eight Banners who came out with them. The reason why these Mongolian tribes are willing to be driven by slaves is not because they have forgotten the rights of their ancestors.

Glory, but they are not united. In addition, they are far away in the grasslands outside the customs, their productivity is low, and they are short of all kinds of things. They are simply unable to fight against the organized slaves.

They were unable to fight against the slaves, and they also saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, so they could only choose the lesser of the two powers and follow the slaves. In fact, were they really willing to be driven by the slaves?

The answer is yes, these Mongolians are not willing to serve as slaves to Jiannu. The reason why they follow Jiannu is because they cannot defeat Jiannu. By following Jiannu, they can still get some benefits from Ming Dynasty. Even if

Since the Jian slaves ate meat, they should also be given some soup!

Therefore, over the years, the Jian Nu have repeatedly entered the Pass and carried out large-scale plunders. The Mongolian tribes were very enthusiastic about sending elite cavalry to follow the Jian Nu army into the Pass, so that they could also follow in the raids and satisfy their material needs.

In fact, the Mongolian tribes were very poor at this time. The grasslands where they lived were also greatly affected by the Little Ice Age, and the climate was very cold. They lived by grazing on grass. Although there were many cattle, sheep, and horses, they could not make a living.

They need to eat these things every day, and they also need to eat food, not to mention tea and salt. They can't even get iron tools because they don't have the skills to mine or smelt iron, so they can only rely on exports from the pass, so they can't even eat.

The pots must rely on the output within the pass.

The Ming Dynasty has always maintained a high degree of vigilance against the Mongolian tribes and restricted the trading volume of the mutual market. Moreover, the officials who managed the mutual market tried their best to exploit the Mongolian tribes and raise the prices of exported commodities very high. However, for the Mongolian tribes, the use of

The prices of the traded items were kept very low, so the Mongolian tribes had long been dissatisfied with this.

Later, Jiannu emerged, so many tribes among the Mongolian tribes turned to the arms of Jiannu, just because they wanted to follow Jiannu and gain more benefits.

Over the years, they have acted as doglegs to the slaves and helped the slaves to harm the border. However, in fact, they are not loyal to the slaves, it is just an exchange of interests.

After entering the customs this time, it was easy to say that these Mongolian tribes who entered the customs with the slaves also made a lot of money through the plundering that lasted for only half a year, and everyone was as happy as if they had eaten their shit.

But after several days of fierce fighting with the Yu Jiajun in Tianjin Guard, these Mongolians began to become less obedient, because Dorgon always took the lead in self-interest, and those who took the lead often let these

The Mongols went to do it. Facing the sharp firearms of the Yu Jiajun, the Mongolian cavalry, although they were brave and good at fighting and riding and shooting, could not give full play to their advantages. They often rushed over on horseback and fired a volley of guns.

These brave Mongolian cavalry were beaten on the spot, causing heavy casualties and heavy casualties.

In the past few days, the Mongolian tribes have suffered the most casualties, not to mention the Han troops who have always been used as cannon fodder. The Han soldiers and soldiers accompanying the army in the past few days have almost been filled in.

The Mongols followed them out to get a bargain, not to risk their lives. If they came across a soft persimmon and asked them to rush in and pinch it, they would be happy to do it. However, when they encountered a tough guy like Yu Jiajun who could break their teeth,

They were able to do it once or twice, and they did it three or four times, but if they were asked to fill the hole every day, they would not do it anymore.

These Mongolian soldiers are the most elite tribesmen in each tribe and are the mainstay of the tribe. It hurts even if one of them dies, not to mention the group of people who cheer and cheer every day and are shot by Yu's army.

Therefore, the Mongols have stopped working in the past two days, clearly showing their dissatisfaction. Although they have not yet reached the point of pulling the lever to escape, they have already proposed that instead of being blocked here, it is better to simply abandon the property.

The goods and raw materials were transferred to another place, and the wind was blowing loudly, so I hurriedly got out and pulled them down. If I lose this time, I will lose it, but I can't lose all my capital here.

This is also the reason why Dorgon started sending Eight Banners slaves to fight in large numbers in the past two days, mainly because he was afraid that if he pushed too hard, these Mongolians from the Eight Banners would fall out with them.

After the fierce fighting in the past few days, Dorgon also felt that they might be in big trouble this time.

This group of Yu Jiajun is really powerful. They have repeatedly hit the wall and tried their best, but they still can't break through here. It's not that Yu Jiajun has blocked all the ways out, but there are Yu Jiajun who are stuck in Tianjin Wei area.

However, even if he gave Dorgon the courage, he would not dare to lead his troops to escape through the Tianjin Guards.

Once they took a detour and wanted to cross Tianjin Wei, Yu Jiajun suddenly stopped them, and by then it was really too late for them to cry.

Therefore, as long as the Yu Jiajun is still blocking here, Dorgon will not dare to make a detour, and the two sides will be in a stalemate here.

Calling it a stalemate is actually too flattering to the Jiannu side. They have been exhausted from the fight and are no longer able to fight at this time. On the Yu Jiajun side, although the pressure is also great, Yu Xiaotian has been unable to fight in the past few days.

, constantly ordering each brigade to adjust and change defenses, always allowing the soldiers and generals under their command to receive a certain degree of rest and replenishment.

The second batch of new soldiers shipped from Zhifu Island and Fushansuo these days have arrived at Tianjin Guard. Although the number is not large, it is enough to make up for the battle losses of various ministries in the past few days, allowing each ministry to replenish new recruits in time.

Although the new recruits have poor combat experience and insufficient training, there is no problem for several veterans to lead one new recruit. As long as these new recruits are allowed to fight in a few battles, these new recruits will quickly grow into fierce veterans.

And with the arrival of the second batch of material personnel, Yu Jiajun also quickly replenished sufficient ammunition and replaced the weapons that had been consumed due to continuous fierce battles, especially some Wolf fang rifles. Under high-intensity use,

The rifling has been stripped, and the power and range have plummeted. The arrival of the second batch of supplies allowed these musketeers to quickly replace the barrels and replace some damaged accessories, restoring the weapons in their hands to their best condition.

The second batch of people arriving with the ship also had a temporary repair shop with more than 200 people in total. Most of these people were technicians transferred from various arsenals, but they belonged to the militia system. They were also recruited this time.

They were transported directly to Tianjin Wei City, where a temporary repair shop was built on the spot using the simple tools they brought.

Many weapons and armors damaged in the battle no longer need to be sent to Fushan Institute for repairs, let alone to Fujian and Taiwan for repairs. Many armors can be directly transported to Tianjin Acropolis after arriving at the repair institute.

It will be repaired and can be returned to the armies for use as quickly as possible.

In other days, the high-intensity shelling caused some losses or malfunctions to the artillery in various artillery battalions in the army. Because the cultural quality of the soldiers in this era was low, it would be good to teach them how to use it. Even if there were some simple malfunctions, the artillerymen would not

It is very difficult to remove on its own.

With the arrival of the repair shop, dozens of mechanics were also transported here. They quickly rushed to the artillery battalions and carried out emergency repairs directly on the artillery positions, so that some of the failed artillery pieces were quickly repaired.

Ability to use has been restored.

Dorgon, Du Du and other slave chiefs gathered together and were trapped in the city of Chou. They couldn't think of a better way to defeat the Yu family army in front of them. Let's take a detour. There are hundreds of thousands of people and a large number of them.

What to do with the livestock and the mountains of belongings? It was impossible to carry them away.

They have already seen Yu Jiajun's combat power. It is impossible to escape from under their noses with these people and their belongings! Since Yu Jiajun has made up his mind to prevent them from leaving the border, then he will not

Let them slip away.

So they discussed over and over again, discarding these people and their property, and escaping naked from the border in a detour. These guys were reluctant to part with it, but they couldn't leave without losing these people and property.

In the end, Dorgon had no choice but to give in and proposed to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian, the head coach of the Yu Jiajun, to give them some benefits, even if it meant giving them two to three hundred thousand taels of silver and a group of livestock, as long as they could get out of the way.

Tianjin Wei, just let them pass.

At this point, these slave chiefs had no better way, so they agreed to the idea put forward by Dorgon. On that day, Dorgon sent one of his subordinates who had once served as the Qian Commander-in-Chief outside the pass to represent him.

Go to Yu Jiajun's side to negotiate with Yu Xiaotian.
