Chapter 189 Hunting Jurchen 9
After entering Liaoyang City, Nuer Hachi was still at a loss, although he had already made arrangements, but the city was too smooth, just relying on some internal responses, he just came to walk to the fruit field.
This kind of thing that seems to be very mysterious makes Nuer Hachi unable to accept it for a while.
However, he is not an ordinary person after all, after seeing the scene specially arranged by Sun Chengzong when he left, he thought of his title, Heavenly Destiny Khan, I am really the person favored by Heavenly Destiny. Liaoyang's ease and breaking made Nuer Hachi completely believe in his statement of destiny.
"Great Khan, whether to pursue the governor of Liaodong, he has just left." Suddenly, Amin ran over and suggested that he had also gotten the news from some of the hungry Mongolians who had survived.
This suggestion made Nu'er Hachi's heart pound, and if Sun Chengzong could be taken down, it would bring him great prestige and spread the name of his Heavenly Mandate Khan to the Ming Kingdom.
"Great Khan, never." Just before he could say anything, Huang Taiji spoke out to stop him, "Now that the children of the Eight Banners have won successive battles, they are also tired of the veterans, so it is not appropriate to fight again." Moreover, although some of the food and supplies were burned when the Ming army withdrew, we still captured a lot of them, and the top priority was to transport all these captures back so that the tribesmen could survive this winter. ”
The Mongols were famine, and the Jurchens were no better, and if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have ventured to attack Shenyang while Xiong Tingbi was still in power. The purpose of this dangerous fight is to plunder enough supplies to survive this bitter winter.
"This ......" Huang Taiji's suggestion made Nu'er Hachi hesitate, and his head seemed to be a little dizzy by the continuous victories and huge gains, and he forgot his original purpose.
"The Great Khan can't miss the opportunity and don't come again, now that the governor of Liaodong is fleeing in embarrassment, there must not be many soldiers and horses around him, if you don't take this opportunity to seize it, there will be no possibility in the future." Seeing that Nuer Hachi seemed to want to give up the pursuit, Amin hurriedly shouted.
"This is the governor of Liaodong, or the second assistant of the Ming Kingdom, with a noble status, if the Great Khan can capture it, he will definitely be able to raise his prestige far away, so that the people of the Ming Kingdom will no longer dare to underestimate him."
Amin's suggestion once again fluctuated the string in Nuer Hachi's heart, proving to the people of the Ming Kingdom that he was no worse than them, which was an unspeakable secret buried deep in his heart. And now, it is the best opportunity to prove it, as long as the troops are dispatched, the governor of Liaodong will be arrested.
"Great Khan, no! This battle is full of suspicions, and it is not a conspiracy of the Ming people. Huang Taiji shouted desperately, Xu is voice was sincere and sincere, which made Nu'er Hachi's somewhat confused mind suddenly wake up.
"Well, abandon the pursuit, deliver supplies and slaves will Hetuala." Nuer Hachi took a deep breath and finally made a decision, he was not an ordinary person after all, and finally restrained the thoughts in his heart.
"The Great Khan is wise!" Huang Taiji smiled, and the opposite of him was Amin's distorted face.
At this time, Sun Chengzong was evacuating from Guangning with the remaining more than 10,000 people, and the whole team was silent and depressed, after all, Liaoyang was lost from them. Even if it is because of the internal relationship, they cannot shirk the responsibility.
Of course, there are also some soldiers frowning, they are constantly thinking about the station just now, there are too many points in it, and all kinds of show elements make people can't help but suspect that they are completely abandoning Liaoyang on their side.
"Luo Yiyi, Zu Dashou, don't go back to Guangning, directly lead people to retreat to Ningyuan, remember, take care of the soldiers under your hands, and never leak any news." Looking at the two generals who were following him, Sun Chengzong lightly instructed that they were going to be hidden for a period of time if they were kept secret.
"The last will be ordered!" The two of them hugged their fists and took the order.
Soon, the troops began to split, and most of them turned around and went directly into the Liaoxi Corridor and headed for Ningyuan. His son and grandson Chengzong also went to Quang Ninh with his more than 100 guards, he was not worried about his safety, not far ahead, someone would pick him up.
And this person's name is Sun Degong.
"When you arrive in Guangning, you can send him out and contact Li Yongfang, then, the next step is to prepare for retreat, not only to let the Jurchens chase down, but also not to let them eat too much, and return directly." Looking at the clear face of Sun Degong's protagonist, Sun Chengzong secretly calculated in his heart.
In Tianjin Port, Zhu Youxiao had already received a battle report from Liaodong, and along with it, there were some secret folds from Sun Chengzong, which recorded in detail the process of his implementation of the plan.
Seeing this, he just smiled faintly, and he was not so nervous, this whole plan was deduced by him according to the general trend of history in the book, the general trend remains unchanged, and the plan will definitely not go wrong.
"Now that Sun Chengzong has arrived in Guangning, the second phase of the plan must have begun, and it is time for me to set off." Zhu Youxiao roughly estimated the progress of the next plan, and then knew that it was time for him to act.
The second stage will probably end in more than ten days, and if you don't set off again, you won't be able to catch up with the final battle of Ningyuan.
"Imperial Navy, go!" At the sound of the order, the gunboats that had just finished outfitting and launching set sail one after another, and the white soft sails were like white clouds, floating on the sea.
Walking in the forefront are two clippers with a displacement of 800 tons, the hollow bow makes them hold their heads high, sharp and sharp lines, allowing them to break through the waves effortlessly, chopping the waves and moving fast, up to twelve knots of speed, making them like a sea elf, constantly jumping, crossing white lines.
Behind the clippers are the Galen boats, the double decks that make these gunboats look very refreshing, and the gun windows on the side of the ship, although closed, give people a sense of intimidation.
Using the large 1,000-ton Galen ship as an arrow, the ten gunboats of the entire fleet sailed forward in a chevron shape, but they did not drive the speed to the maximum, on the one hand, to facilitate the sailors on the ship to familiarize themselves with the operation of the spinnaker, and on the other hand, to let the ships behind follow them.
At the end of the entire fleet, the Fufu part is the largest, and this part can be roughly divided into two parts, in the middle is more than 30 large Fukufu ships transporting materials of more than 2,000 materials, and the periphery is surrounded by about 300 medium-sized Fukubunes of 1,000 materials, which have been converted into passenger ships to transport soldiers.
At this time, the Fubune part was sailing hard, but the slow speed still slowed down the speed of the entire fleet. At this time, the hard sail was hindered by material and technical problems, and could not be done very much, which led to the speed of the Fu ship could not go up, and it was always four or five knots, which was a gap with the Galen ship with an average speed of eight knots, not to mention the clipping ship.
These lucky ships were assembled by Zhu Youxiao after collecting the entire Southern Naval Division, and they were also the elite of the old naval divisions of the entire Ming Empire, but now they can only be used for transportation. After all, times are different, and in the future, firearms will reign king.
Zhu Youxiao's goal was Juehua Island, an island very close to Ningyuan, and his purpose was to set up a temporary harbor on it as a pavilion and wait for the third step of the Jurchen plan.
