Chapter 52: The beard has grown, and the showdown has begun
The "Dongnu Free Delivery" card was a great stimulus to Abai and the white-flaged generals, and Dokana vomited a mouthful of blood angrily.
However, what prompted Abai to order the white flag to frantically pursue and kill the Ming army retreating west was not this wooden plaque, nor was it the head of Du Anchao found from the abandoned well, but a warrant from the eldest brother Yuying.
Abai's inlaid white flag was delayed, which made Zhenying, who wanted to gather the main force of the two flags and fight to the death with the Ming army, very annoyed.
He really didn't have much time, and Gong Zhengliu told him that the grain and grass in the army could last for ten days at most. When the ten days arrived, the troops could only be withdrawn.
After going on the expedition for nearly two months, he consumed countless grains and grass but found nothing, but also lost two large Baylors of Niulu, and the pressure he was under at this time was unimaginable to outsiders.
You know, this is the first time that he has led the army since Big Baylor became the heir of Dajin!
With such a gray withdrawal, how many people in Black Tuara will laugh at him!
And what will Amma think of him? Do you think that he is incompetent?
Zhen Ying is unwilling, he is really unwilling.
He knew that even now, there were quite a few people down there waiting to see his big Baylor jokes!
The white flag is not an iron bucket, it is completely the only one who is the head of the big Baylor, and some people prefer not the big Baylor, not to mention that there is also a co-owner of the Eight Banners above the Big Baylor - the wise Khan of the nations!
Two days ago, Bachelor Dahai hurried to the Ying army.
Dahai was smart since childhood, at the age of nine he was able to understand Jurchen and Han, and at the age of fourteen, he was summoned by Nurhachi to the left and right, and was given the inner courtyard Si Wenhan, a full-time envoy with the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and Korea. Before the establishment of Dajin, all the proclamations and orders for the establishment of the state were also drafted by Dahai.
In addition, Dahai innovated the Jurchen script, so that the Jurchen script has a circle and a fixed glyph, which can be formally used for edicts, education, and learning.
Dahai's arrival was extremely secretive, and he brought a message from the king of Khan to the Great Belle - "If you can fight your, if you can't do it, you can't return quickly." ”
The meaning of this oracle is very straightforward on the surface, but Zhen Ying doesn't believe that Ama sent Dahai all the way to come over for such a sentence.
Gong Zhengliu invited Dahai to a banquet, he and Dahai were both heroes of Nurhachi's founding of the country, and the two sides had a good personal relationship. It is best for him to do the things that are inconvenient for Yu Ying to ask.
Dahai knew that Gong Zhengliu's drunkard did not mean to drink, and he also had some disagreements with those old ministers, so he told Gong Zhengliu Khan that he was not dissatisfied with the fact that Da Baile had not made meritorious contributions, but some old ministers mostly talked about it in front of the Khan, so as to belittle Da Baile.
"In addition, Hu Erhan and Fei Yingdong accompanied Erbeile into the inner courtyard, Brother Gong, the three of them became tigers." After Dahai finished speaking, he stopped talking and ate the vegetables by himself.
Gong Zhengliu's brows were already furrowed.
After sending Dahai away, Gong Zhengliu and Zhenying, the two teachers and students, discussed secretly for a long time.
After dawn, Zhen Ying sent someone to send his younger brother Abai his warrant, asking him to rush to Shijiabao under the old border wall of the Ming Dynasty to meet him three days later. If it is not overdue, Zhu Ying will remove Abai from the post of white flag Gushan Ezhen as the crown prince.
The tone of the warrant was harsh like never before.
Abai was frightened.
The eldest brother Zhenying has been much better to his brothers in the past two years, but the eldest brother's temper in the past was terrifying, and he almost killed the old five Mang Gurtai!
In order not to be dismissed from the position of flag master by the eldest brother, Abai did not dare to disobey the military orders of the eldest brother, but he also did not dare to tell the envoy of the eldest brother that his white flag had suffered the greatest loss since the establishment of the flag, so he could only order to chase and kill the Ming army of Xiao Bozhi who retreated westward.
Abai had the idea of atonement for his sins, after all, even if he arrived in time, for the huge loss of the white flag, the eldest brother Yuying would not spare him.
Xiao Bu's Ming army was retreating to the west, and this direction was the direction of Shijiabaozi, where the Zhengbai Banner was located.
.........
Nandagou is a tributary of the Danghe River, and its northern end is connected with the Hunjiang River, another major river that flows through the territory of Kuandian. The camp of anti-gold rescue ** is located on the south bank of Nandagou, and from a distance, you can see countless long flags fluttering in the middle of the camp.
Nandagou is not a big river, its widest part is only more than 40 zhang, the narrowest place is only more than 10 zhang, so there are several wooden bridges and stone bridges on the ditch, all of which were built by the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty who lived on both sides of the ditch earlier.
After the anti-gold rescue ** advanced the camp here, they began to send people to strengthen the bridge, and at the same time built pontoon bridges in several narrow sections.
Tens of thousands of people crossed the river at the same time, and there were hundreds of carts of all kinds, and those few dilapidated old bridges could not hold up.
Although the main camp was located on the south bank, camps were also built on the north bank. More than 8,000 soldiers and civilians scattered on both sides of the strait sweating like water, and the yellow mud raised by the shovel quickly obscured their figures.
"Brother Qingliu, what are those Qiu Ba doing?"
In the sight of the horse guard, who had nothing to do but had to pretend to be concerned, there were many soldiers with red cloth strips tied to their arms pulling thin hemp ropes.
"Probably in the marking direction, lest the masters dig astray."
Zhou Tiexin's family was quite poor in his early years, so he often worked in the fields with his father, not the kind of person who didn't know the grains, so he had seen how the people measured the fields. He guessed that the soldiers used straightened hemp rope to measure the length of the trenches dug by the servants and whether they were straight.
Ma Shoubei let out an "oh", and then shook his head: "Wei Gelding is really cruel, he doesn't treat the master as a human being." In this way, the battalion of ten miles will drive the master to dig a ditch, and he will not die of exhaustion. ”
But he didn't know that he guarded the poor people, and cursed the Wei eunuchs for ignoring the manpower, but those people were very energetic, because as long as they worked, they would get money.
It's a little bitter, but the stomach is full, and it's a hundred times stronger to follow this anti-gold rescue than to go out on duty with other officers and soldiers. Especially those Korean servants, they are even more grateful to the heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as bodhisattvas in their hearts.
"Brother Wencai, if you come here, you will be safe, is it possible that we can still get off this thief ship?" Zhou Tiexin kindly persuaded Ma Xiangde to open a little.
"Also, they all asked people to be tied up in the army," Ma Xiangde laughed at himself, "I hope this Wei Gelding can really beat Jiannu back, otherwise you and I will be difficult to ride a tiger and won't be able to go back." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wei Biao and his party standing on the stone bridge in the distance, and muttered: "What kind of beard do you have when you are a eunuch!" ”
Wei Gonggong really grew a beard, I don't know if it was because he was worried about the war, or because he drank too much Korean ginseng soup, anyway, his beard came out overnight.
There were a lot of them, and my father-in-law tried to pull them with a clamp, but he gave up after pulling a few of them.
Pain is secondary.
The key is more.
Anyway, it's not uncommon to be a eunuch with a long beard, so isn't the horse hall a thick beard! Besides, the father-in-law and the mother-in-law don't know what's going on.
It's all a showdown, what else is there to pretend?
Thinking of this, my father-in-law didn't have the heart to hide himself anymore.
Standing on the stone bridge and looking into the distance, he felt a little heavy. Exploring the Malay newspaper, Xiao Bozhi's department was frantically chased and killed by the white flag, and it was extremely difficult to go all the way.
"Father-in-law, do you want to send someone to answer it?"
After all, Xu Xianchun was born in Wujinshi, and he stayed in Xuanda for a few years, so it was rare to encounter such a big battle, how could he not be eager to try and show his skills.
