"If you can't set foot on the land of Jianzhou to take a look before leaving, take a walk, our family will be sorry for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty!"

Dedicated to the country, loyal and brave, and loyal to the country as his own responsibility, Wei Gonggong ignored the advice of the generals, insisted on going his own way, personally led two hundred warriors, each with two horses from the north to the north of the Gushan Fort in Jianzhou.

This is the first time since the eleventh year of Wanli that the Ming army has stepped into the actual control area of Jianzhou. Prior to this, the large-scale penetration of the Ming army into Jianzhou was more than 100 years ago during the Chenghua period.

In addition to wanting to take a walk and take a look, the reason for going deeper was that Gonggong Wei felt that this Kuandian operation was not exciting enough, and the damage to Jianzhou was not too big.

After all, the actual occupation of Kuandian Liubao and the actual colonial operation of Jianzhou were only seven years, and neither the population nor the output were enough to compare with the "old area" of Jianzhou.

If you can come to Jianzhou Laonest for such a round, the effect will definitely be much better than Kuandian.

Gonggong Wei only brought 200 elite soldiers on this trip, which is not large-scale.

He also did not dare to go to Heituala, so the route he formulated was basically along the border wall of Kuandian and Jianzhou, that is, from the Gushan Fort in the northeast of Kuandian to infiltrate Jianzhou, and then along the Gushan Fort to the east, through more than 200 miles to the Yalu River, the naval ships of the Ming Imperial Army responded and returned to Yizhou downstream.

The advantage of fewer people is that it is quick to act and easy to transfer. If Jianzhou is compared to an elephant, then the team of 200 people is an ant that can climb on the elephant as much as he wants.

That being said, Gonggong Wei certainly doesn't see himself as an ant, he thinks of himself as a sharp knife—a sharp knife that stabs Nurhachi in the body.

Regarding the purpose of this in-depth study, he emphasized that it is one word, "dang".

"If you are strong, you will be killed, if the old and childish will be extinguished, if the earth collapses and the fire is extinguished, it will still disintegrate and the ice will disappear, it will be empty and the pig will be empty, and the hole will be empty and the nest will be empty, and the edge of a hundred miles will be depressed."

That is, there is no grass growing here.

This is destined to be particularly bloody in this sidewall sweeping operation.

On the 28th, Gonggong Wei led his troops to break through the Gushan Fort, killing more than 40 defenders and setting fire to more than 100 houses. More than 300 Jurchen soldiers and civilians committed suicide or threw themselves into the well and jumped into the river, and the rest of the Jurchens were ordered by Gonggong Wei to cut off their limbs, so they were able to survive.

When the Ming army left, they set fire to the fort and filled the well with filth, destroying Jianzhou's more than 20 years of operation in Gushan Fort.

This made it impossible for the eleven Niu Lu of Jianzhou Inlaid Red Banner who rushed from Heituala after hearing the news to get the food supply of Gushan Fort, and even had no place to rest, which seriously slowed down the marching speed of the department and made it impossible to join forces with the Zhenglan Banner to pursue the Ming army retreating south.

The Red Banner Lord Abatai, who arrived later, was furious and executed the leader of the army, Jialaezhen, and the three leaders on the spot, but to no avail.

The villages near Gushan Fort were burned down by the Ming army, and the villagers fled into the mountains, and it took several days of hard work for the Jianzhou soldiers to find the escapees from the mountains, and then they learned that there was a Ming cavalry from Gushan Fort to the east.

Abatai was annoyed that this Ming army actually went deep into Jianzhou to kill people and set fires, and in a fit of anger, he personally led his troops to pursue him. But the Ming army left a few days early, and he led his troops to chase after him for a long time, except for the villages that were burned down by the Ming army, there was no one again.

………

Father-in-law Wei was in a very good mood, and in a few days, he broke through seven or eight fortresses in Jianzhou, and killed more than 1,000 Jurchens, which was really a brilliant record.

It must be known that during the Chenghua period, the chief military officer Wu Jingbo Zhao Fu mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses, and marched with the Korean army in three ways. This record is also called a great victory.

Therefore, if you go home now, counting the capture of Kuandian, don't say that Wu Jingbo and Zhao Fu are added, even if you add Li Chengliang's decades of war achievements in Liaodong, it may not be much more than Gonggong Wei.

If the emperor doesn't give him a promotion, he has to give us a grade, and get a four-poinsettia robe to wear.

Father-in-law Wei was in a good mood, so there was poetry, poetry: "Changbai Mountain, the mountain is white." There are girls in Changbai Mountain, and there is a person on top of the girls, who will move when they call, and they will not move. ”

After chanting the poem, with a wave of his hand, Ding Xiaogong and others drove the captured more than 100 Jurchens to the river, and the drowned Jurchen corpses made the small river unable to flow.

After finishing this matter, Gonggong Wei turned over and ran to the next target.

What the next target is, the father-in-law doesn't know, and the two Jurchen guides around him can't say.

So, when the target was discovered, the father-in-law was a little surprised, because the target was a big fish.

How big is this fish?

The Jurchen city in front of it is called Jueluo City, and the leader is a man named Baoshi, who has a surname, called Aixin Jueluo.

In terms of generation, Baoshi is Nurhachi's uncle Baoshi, that is, the uncle of Nurhachi's father Takshi, the brother of his grandfather Jue Chang'an, and the youngest son of his great-grandfather Fuman.

If you use the words of the pseudo-Qing period, this treasure is the Aixin Jueluo clan - the red belt.

Baoshi was a very smart person and especially liked wealth, so he tried every possible way to obtain the "edict" issued by the Ming Dynasty, so as to receive the "reward" from the reserve officials of the horse city in Liaodong, and live near the border, exchange salt and rice, and beg for wine and food.

It can be said that among the six brothers, Baoshi is the person who has visited the horse market in eastern Liaodong the most times except for Jue Chang'an. Unlike his nephew Nurhachi, who has always regarded the unification of the Jurchens as a goal, how to get money is Baoshi's life goal. Therefore, fraud and violence were the biggest means of making a living in Baoshi's life, and Baoshi was particularly fond of "kidnapping tickets", and he kidnapped no less than 2,000 Han people from the Ming Dynasty for decades.

Before Li Chengliang gave up Kuandian Liubao, the main enemy of Liubao was Baoshi, who liked to rob and kidnap people, not Nurhachi, who was further away.

In a way, Bao Shi was dissatisfied with his nephew, because Nurhachi controlled the Six Forts, so that he could no longer rob the Six Forts.

Later, in order to keep his uncle from being "sad", Nurhachi specially sent 700 Han Aha to his uncle. In this way, Baoshi is more comfortable.

It's just that Baoshi is also old, and he should be regarded as the longest-lived old man of the Jurchens, and he is now seventy-one years old. People are old and don't like to move much, and the big and small affairs of Jueluo City are taken care of by his children and grandchildren.

As the power of his nephew Nurhachi became bigger and bigger, and the soldiers and horses became stronger and stronger, Baoshi also knew that after he left, it would be impossible for Jueluo City to maintain its "independence" here, so in recent years, he also intended to let his descendants go to Heituala to be cordial with Nurhachi, thinking that his nephew would be able to treat his descendants better after he left.

Nurhachi obviously knew his uncle's intentions, so he was also very good to Baoshi's descendants, especially Baoshi's grandson, that is, his cousin and brother Dechang, who installed him in the Zhengbai Banner as a Jialazhen.

After pacifying Ula, because the weather was hot, Dechang asked his cousin for "leave" to return to Jueluo City to escape the summer. He had come back five days earlier, and since he has been taking people to hunt in the woods or to the rivers to fish, and he is very happy.

The first to discover Gonggong Wei and his entourage were Dechang and his group, they were all stunned, looking at these people in front of them who had never seen before, as if everything in the world had stopped turning, strange and terrifying.
