Chapter 308: It's Good to Be Trusted

After Zhu Hao received Zheng Zhilong's message in Guangning City, he immediately organized 50 grain trucks to transport the grain in Guangning City to Shanhaiguan.

After waiting for the grain truck to arrive at Shanhaiguan, the grain will be transported back to Quang Ninh City from Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Hao's prescribed routes for transporting grain are secluded mountain roads and ravines, which are extremely suitable for Tibetan soldiers.

In fact, Zhu Hao did set up heavy ambushes along the way, and sent generals to guard each section.

After everything was ready, Zhu Hao waited for Houjin to bite the hook, and he was going to fight a beautiful ambush battle.

On the third day after Zheng Zhilong left Houjin, Houjin found that the grain that Zheng Zhilong had transported this time had 50,000 stone of grain, which was moldy grain.

This made Nurhachi furious, and in the court, he scolded Mang Gurtai for being a waste, and then after some discussion with the courtiers, he thought that Zheng Zhilong was not a Japanese national, but a spy of the Ming army.

After coming to this conclusion, Nurhachi was immediately furious, and even slapped the dragon case, Bang! Bang! The sound of voices was heard throughout the hall.

Then Nurhachi stood up and said angrily:

"Mingting child, the deception is too much!"

"I want to raise the strength of the whole country and fight with the Ming army!"

Listening to Nurhachi's murderous words, none of the ministers dared to speak, only Fan Wencheng, who was the Houjin think tank, stood up and dissuaded:

"Long live Chen Qi, this matter must not be done!"

"Our army has newly defeated the Ming army in Shanhaiguan!"

"At this time, morale is weak, and it is not easy to go on the expedition!"

"Besides, the last time I went on an expedition, I already lost most of my country's troops!"

"Going on an expedition at this time is really a huge drain on national strength!"

"Although the Ming army was cunning, they gave us 50,000 stones of moldy grain."

"But at least 50,000 stone is good food!"

"At present, these grains are enough for domestic consumption in the second half of the year!"

"The minister suggests, long live and cultivate with the people for a year!"

"After the spring of next year, we will be able to make contributions to the conquest!"

Nurhachi, who was already a little angry at this moment, snorted coldly:

"Presumptuous!"

"According to your meaning, if I send troops now, I will definitely be defeated, right?"

Fan Wencheng listened to Nurhachi's stern words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and confessed:

"Long live the anger, that's not what the minister meant!"

"Chan means ......"

Nurhachi interrupted Fan Wencheng's explanation, wrinkled his brows and shouted:

"It's better if you don't mean that!"

"It doesn't matter what you mean!"

"The important thing is that I have made up my mind, so you can step down!"

Fan Wencheng listened to Nurhachi's firm words, sighed secretly, and retreated silently.

On the third day after this court meeting of the Later Jin, the Later Jin Emperor Nurhachi raised 80,000 soldiers from all over the country.

borrowed 40,000 troops from the Horqin steppe of Mongolia, a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses, known as 200,000,

It set out from Hetuala, the capital of Houjin, and camped on the other side of the Liao River, facing the Liao River from Guangning City.

At this time, the Ming army's Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort, and Zhenning Fort on the periphery of Guangning City sent people to report urgently, hoping that Guangning City would send troops and horses to support.

Zhu Hao looked at the urgent document of the Three Forts, and immediately ordered the defenders of the Three Forts to evacuate and gather outside the city of Guangning, not to fight with Houjin.

With Zhu Hao's order issued, the Chinese army guerrilla Mao Wenlong, led more than ten generals to see Zhu Hao, and asked Zhu Hao in person what it meant to let Sanbao evacuate the defense area.

Zhu Hao looked at the angry generals, slowly stood up, and said:

"The feelings of the generals, this king can understand!"

"This king gave up the defense of the three forts in order to gather strength, not to flee without a fight!"

Mao Wenlong listened to Zhu Hao, this kind of explanation that has no nutrition, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Your Royal Highness King Xin, when you first came to Quang Ninh, everyone trusts you very much!"

"Think you can lead us to victory over Jianyu!"

"But you let the Three Castles evacuate without a fight, the last general is really incomprehensible!"

"Although I am a Liaodong soldier, in recent years, although I have lost one after another against Jianyu!"

"But none of my soldiers in Liaodong escaped without a fight!"

"If the prince does this, it will be difficult to disagree!"

"If the prince can't give the last general a reasonable explanation today, the last general can only be excused!"

After Mao Wenlong's words were finished, all the generals behind him also said loudly:

"Please wait for me to give me an explanation, otherwise I won't be accompanied by the last general!"

Zhu Hao actually didn't want to explain, but he looked at the crowd of excited people, these more than ten middle-level generals, he knew that if he didn't say something and do something, this matter might provoke a mutiny.

If there is a mutiny on the eve of the war, then he will really be powerless.

Zhu Hao thought like this, his eyes swept over them one by one, and the more than ten emotional generals then spoke:

"First of all, on behalf of the imperial court, this king would like to thank all the generals for their spirit of defying power and courageously admonishing."

"This king wants to say now, there are generals, this patriotic blood, why worry about the immortality!"

"Your spirit has also inspired this king, and this king is even more confident to win this war!"

"But generals, you should know that war is not a battle of will, and you can't just rely on courage to do it!"

"As the supreme commander of this battle, this king can tell you responsibly,

The purpose of this king doing this today is to achieve the final victory in the war! ”

"Please give this king some time, at most half a month, and everyone will understand why this king did this!"

"Now because this is a top military secret, for the sake of victory in the war, this king can't tell you for the time being!"

"Please believe me!"

Zhu Hao said and bowed to the more than ten generals, and all the generals were moved when they saw this, and a sense of inexplicable respect arose.

These middle-level generals looked at Zhu Hao's movements and looked at Zhu Hao's sincere eyes, and they believed in Zhu Hao unconditionally at the moment.

Because for them, a conductor who values them so much will not joke with their lives.

Zhu Hao only used a bow to defuse the possible mutiny.

Of course, no one can underestimate Zhu Hao's bow, because this bow, for these middle-level generals, is a manifestation of trust and respect.

As Zhu Hao finished bowing, these more than ten middle-level generals, I don't know who was the first to walk out silently, followed by the second and third......

Until they all left, the council hall where Zhu Hao was.

Zhu Hao looked at the backs of these people, there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart, at this moment, as a superior, as a leader, he had only one sigh in his heart:

"It's good to be trusted!"

When these generals were willing to hand over their trust and lives to Zhu Hao unconditionally, Zhu Hao didn't put all the bets on these people.

Trust is mutual, and the premise for Zhu Hao to gain trust is that he has given his trust to them.

Otherwise, when encountering such a question, I am afraid that half of the ten high-ranking people will choose to kill without mercy.
