Chapter 121: The Southern Barbarians Struck by Lightning
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, this is the harvest season. Whether it is rice in the south or wheat in the north, all of them have ushered in maturity.
At the same time, this is also the busiest time for Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Sen's uncle and nephew on Juehua Island.
They were busy setting fire to the gates, and they only needed one Martian to easily burn a large area of wheat and bring huge losses to the Tartars, such a battle was not too comfortable for Zheng Junyan, who had the advantage of sea and waterways.
However, Zheng Jun was comfortable, Jiannu was annoyed, and the Ming army was about to suffer.
No matter how annoyed the Tartars were, it was impossible for them to give birth to wings and fly to Juehua Island, so they could only attack Ningyuan's front line, and even the army crossed Ningyuan City, and launched an attack on Ningyuan's Zhonghousuo, Zhongyousuo, Qiantunwei and other cities further south.
Guan Ningjun was made miserable, but on the surface, they had nothing to say to Zheng Jun. No, it's not that there is nothing to say, but there is anger and dare not speak.
Wu Sangui was in his twenties as a general soldier, and at the age of thirty, he was the commander of all the Ming troops outside the pass, and he was also smooth, how could he have suffered such depression on the road of life?
"Zheng's uncle and nephew deceive people too much. They provoked the Jianzhou Tartars themselves, but they used our Guan Ning Army as a substitute for the dead ghosts. "Dumb people can't say that they have to suffer from Coptis chinensis, this is for outsiders, for their own people, what else is there to hide?
In front of Wu Sangui stood a group of subordinates, deputy generals Zhang Guozhong, Tong Shisheng, and Li Yingke, and staff generals Zhu Cai and Sun Wenhuan, all of whom were his cronies.
Now there is no other force outside the gate to balance him. Li Fuming was transferred to Guannai, and now he has not returned to his position. The new Shanhaiguan General Gao Di will only be submissive in front of Wu Sangui.
Although the strength of the Ming army outside the Guanwai was weakened to the lowest point in history, the influence of the Wu family outside the Guanwai was magnified to the highest peak in history.
And Inspector Fan Zhiwan's heart is not outside the gate at all, relying on the credit he made before, as well as the care of his teacher Zhou Yanru in the court, Fan Zhiwan is actively planning to be transferred back to the court.
The next person to take over his position, Wu Sangui personally thinks that it is likely to be Qiu Minyang. It will not be Hong Chengchou's "return of the king".
Li Zicheng in the pass is going to be very difficult to govern, shouldn't Emperor Chongzhen use good steel on the blade?
Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen are two sharp blades. It's better to kill the rogue happily.
And what about Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong? This is also a very skillful character, and the qualifications are even older. But no matter how powerful a person is, he has no soldiers in his hands, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.
Wu Sangui has really become the first person outside the Guanguan now.
Because after Li Fuming left, the Ming troops in the castles outside the gate attached themselves to Wu Sangui. Now he has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, plus tens of thousands of soldiers under Gao Di, 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers, and his combat power and quality are naturally not comparable to the Guanning army at the peak, but it is not a problem for him to defend Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City.
Therefore, the emperor still put Hong Chengchou in the pass.
Therefore, Wu Sangui feels very uncomfortable when he looks at Zheng Jun now.
They provoked the Tartars, and the Tartars came to fight the Guanning army if they couldn't beat them, and the troops lost were Wu Sangui's own flesh and blood.
But what annoyed him the most was that Wu Sangui obviously didn't want to see Zheng Jun act like this, but if he stopped it, he couldn't say it.
This is not only because the existence of Zheng Jun has a great effect on the stability of the Ming army's situation outside the Guan, Wu Sangui is even more aware that in the past year, he has exchanged the skins, horses, and medicinal materials outside the Guanxi for how much grain, cloth, salt, sugar, and iron powder he has obtained from Zheng Jun.
is controlled by others, and you can't even turn your face.
Of course, he also knew better that even if he turned his face, he wouldn't be able to hurt Zheng Jun's hair, and Zheng Jun on Juehua Island wouldn't hang him at all.
Just look at the current situation, it couldn't be more obvious.
"Dashuai think twice, then Fan Zhiwan and Qiu Min look up ......" Deputy General Zhang Guozhong saw that Wu Sangui's face was getting more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly persuaded.
Zheng Jun is not only those people on Juehua Island, there are also the King of the Min Sea behind them, as well as Zheng Zhilong, who is famous today.
Compared to the overall strength of the Zheng clan, what are some people on Juehua Island?
Not to mention that Fan Zhiwan, Qiu Minyang and Zheng Jun are all so good that they can't wait to wear the same pants. The two of them are not stupid, seeing that Wu Sangui is very difficult to govern, they will naturally win over Zheng Jun to balance Wu Jun.
What's more, the people stayed on Juehua Island and did not come to camp on land, but on the surface, they did not infringe on the interests of Wu Sangui, the admiral, and the soldiers and horses outside the Guan.
Now that he is going to completely tear his face with Zheng Jun, the only ones who will be happy will be Fan Zhiwan, Qiu Minyang, and even the imperial court.
Wu Sangui was even more annoyed when he heard this 'sincere' persuasion, and his heart was even more aggrieved. It's been 30 years, when have you ever been wronged like this? Unexpectedly, unexpectedly......
Wu Sangui took a deep breath, "I'll bear it!" ”
At this moment, at this moment, Wu Sangui felt that he had truly comprehended the true meaning of life - the word Gui, the turtle.
North Town.
This was originally the Acropolis of Quang Ninh, and after falling into the hands of the Tartars, it was named Beizhen by the old slaves, and it led a large area east of Wulu Mountain.
The overall geography is excellent. In addition to the mountainous and hilly areas in the west, the central and eastern parts are alluvial plains and upper valley plains such as the Xisha River, Wushu River and Shazi River, forming a vast area of fertile plain. In the early years, the household registration was abundant, the fertile land was innumerable, and the products were fertile, and it was the famous granary of the Ming Dynasty in western Liaoning.
But as the war raged, the people of the early years either fled or were killed. Ten rooms and nine emptiness, and by the time Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, they all seemed to have turned into a wilderness.
However, with the change of the Qing army's offensive strategy, from the previous quick victory, to a slow siege battle. Huang Taiji moved a large number of people here and distributed the uncultivated fields to the soldiers. It became a food supply base for the Qing army in the frontline area.
Of course, with the great victory of the decisive battle of Songjin, the Qing army made great strides, and a large number of people were immediately moved into Jinzhou and Yizhou, and many villages along the coast were abandoned. But Beizhen, which is still 200 miles away from the sea, is still home to many residents as an agricultural center.
At present, it is the harvest season, and the wheat fields are comfortable to see.
In the fields, there were crowds of people, and the Han people Aha and the Eight Banners Tartars, including many women, were busy in the fields, wielding sickles. These people have an orderly division of labor, some are responsible for harvesting, some are responsible for transportation, in order to rush for time, the Eight Banners soldiers used a large number of vehicles, and even brought war horses to pull and transport.
No way. Zheng Jun was so mad that he shot rockets straight into the wheat field, causing disaster to the grain, which was going to be struck by lightning.
Although Beizhen is quite far from the sea, Shang Anfu, the defender of Beizhen, still dispatched four or five hundred horse infantry to guard in the south.
Just in case.
Now Shang Anfu is standing on the wheat field, looking at the busy men and women in front of him, looking at the bags of wheat grains piled up at his feet, and his face is full of happy smiles.
As long as he is given another three to five days, all the wheat in Beizhen will be harvested, and he can also do it.
As soon as the grain is stored in the warehouse, there is no longer any problem with safety. The Zheng army's attack on the city was all to attack the coastal area, how could it go 200 miles inland to attack Beizhen City?
"Be sure to hurry, the particles are back in the warehouse. The grain loss on the coastal line is heavy, and the master will definitely transfer our grain here to Jinzhou, you tell me that if you don't want to go hungry, you should be careful. Otherwise, the food will be transferred, and they will be hungry. Shang Anfu explained to the officer who was in charge of overseeing the harvest of the field.
In the past few days, he has been worried about being damaged by pirates. Fortunately, it has been safe and sound.
It seems that Beizhen is still too inland, and Zheng Thief has not yet targeted Beizhen.
