Chapter 603: Arriving at Beihail Lake

Zhu Shun officially started the plan that had been planned long ago in the middle of the industrial revolution, and at the same time, Cao Wenzhao led the Cao family army deep into the northern grasslands.

On the day when Zhu Shun saw off the prince of the sect, he arrived in the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Beihaierhu Province.

It is the autumn harvest season in all parts of Daming, and the weather is not cold, because of the bumper harvest of grain, the people everywhere feel warmer than in summer.

The northern grasslands are different, they have long been a land of ice and snow, and even Beihaier Lake has been frozen.

Cao Wenzhao led a cavalry to break through the blockade lines, and finally arrived at the city of Yujing, which the Manchus used to store potatoes.

As the seat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Beihaierhu Province, this Yujing City was also called Xijing by the Manchu Qing because this city was related to the food problem of the entire Manchu Dynasty.

This Xijing is Cao Wenzhao's destination this time.

It's not realistic to want to burn those potatoes, after all, a large number of Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were stationed in Xijing.

The defense of Yujing City is still handled by Fan Wencheng, including those potato warehouses.

Unless the whole city was filled with oil, it would be impossible to burn all the potatoes.

The warehouses where the potatoes were stored were either cellars or granaries made of stone.

Potatoes are not like grain, they are easy to burn, and they can be eaten even if they are cooked.

However, Cao Wenzhao had another way, starving to death a large number of cattle and sheep, thus greatly reducing the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It doesn't matter how much arable land the Manchus reclaimed and how many potatoes they harvested.

As long as they can't be transported, the cattle and sheep raised in the Manchu pen still have nothing to eat, and can only watch the cattle and sheep starve to death in large quantities.

The carriages transporting potatoes could only be placed outside the city of Yujing City because there were too many of them.

Yujing City is located in the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, equivalent to the south of the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless tribes and steppe cavalry blockades along the way.

The Manchus did not believe that the Ming border army, which had always only defended, had the courage to take the initiative to attack, let alone believe that the Ming people would go deep into the Jiangnan of the Manchu Dynasty.

Soon after, the ending told those princes and Baylors in the Manchu Qing Dynasty that there were really Ming court generals who had the courage to go deep into the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

also told them one thing, what a stupid thing it was to capture the Dalinghe Fort that Cao Wenzhao voluntarily abandoned.

Cao Wenzhao had made sufficient preparations before coming over.

This Cao family army, which only has 800 people, is all wearing Qing armor, or the white Qing armor belonging to Dolgon.

In addition, the selected 800 Cao family troops can more or less speak some Manchu, and they are all good at hiding the night and Tang Qi, and there are no flaws.

In order to arrive safely in Yujing City this time, Cao Wenzhao even did not hesitate to use a few years of hard work to learn fluent Shengjing dialect.

Those Mongolian tribes and Manchu tribes along the way heard Cao Wenzhao's fluent Shengjing dialect.

Where did they dare to stop it, they sent Cao Wenzhao away one by one, and provided Cao Jiajun with a large amount of beef and mutton as grain and grass.

Even if he encounters Niu Lu Ezhen and Jia Lae Zhen who are under the white flag under the command of Dolgon, they will not show flaws.

Cao Wenzhao and Dolgon have been at war for so many years, and they know each other better than themselves.

Whenever he encountered temptation, he was not only easily dealt with by Cao Wenzhao, but also beaten and scolded by him, the fake Belle master.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to really do it.

Fortunately, Cao Wenzhao is not an ordinary border general, in order to be able to go deep into the Manchu Yujing City this time, he has made sufficient preparations with the full support of Zhu Shun.

All eight hundred and one people arrived safely.

Accomplished a feat that has amazed countless historians in later generations.

Outside the city of Yujing City.

A mile away, in the camp.

A strong man with a strong horse and a white flag soldier came to the vicinity of the camp under a lot of wind and snow.

Cao Wenzhao sat on the Liaodong horse, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and began to watch the situation in the camp.

This blizzard should be unfavorable to Cao Wenzhao's surprise attack, but in his opinion, it is more beneficial than ever.

Through the clairvoyant mirror, it can be clearly seen that in order to prevent the carriage from being blown away by the strong wind, the carriage was tied together with ropes.

In the eyes of the Manchu Tartars, this behavior was not only a matter of course, but also a normal behavior when heavy winds and snow came.

The winds of the northern steppes were not as mild as those in the Central Plains, carrying a large amount of snowflakes and blowing away the wagons.

Although it is not possible to roll the carriage into the sky, it is easy to turn the carriage around like a juju.

When Cao Wenzhao saw this situation, his weather-covered face suddenly showed a cruel smile.

He picked up a jug of wine, took a sip in his mouth, and then sprinkled some more on his own horse.

After doing all this, Cao Wenzhao waved his hand and led the eight hundred Cao family troops to the camp in the wind and snow.

At the entrance of the camp, there are usually more than a dozen Manchu Eight Banner soldiers guarding it.

When encountering this kind of ghost weather, this is the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Manchu Eight Banners have already run to the camp tent to rest.

Only a dozen Han people were left to watch here, in case wild wolves and wild boars rushed in.

Once the wild wolves and wild boars rush in, it is easy to disturb the horses and disturb the whole camp.

From the beginning to the end, the Manchu Tartars never thought that anyone would raid here, and the clothes guarding the door were just to guard against wild beasts.

Cao Wenzhao had just come to the gate of the camp, and before he could speak, a Han man who looked like a leader hurriedly ran over with a grovel bow.

consciously knelt on the ground and gave Cao Wenzhao a cushion to dismount.

Cao Wenzhao saw him kneeling down to the Manchu Qing Tartars, so spineless, he was ready to be angry, and he really got angry.

Pulling out the knife at his waist, he slashed off his head, splashing the snow bright red.

When the Han people saw this situation, they didn't have the slightest intention of resisting, and they all knelt on the ground trembling in fear.

If Cao Wenzhao hadn't thought that there was something more important to do, he would have been unable to suppress his anger, and he would have slaughtered all these Han people one by one.

But there is no need for him to do it, as long as there is a problem in this camp, let alone the Han people in this camp.

is the Han people in Yujing City, and the Manchu Tartars who hide in it and enjoy it, all of which can't escape a dead word.

Cao Wenzhao walked into the camp in the camp and found Niu Lu Ezhen who was sleeping in a pile of furs.

Jia La'e Zhen, who is in charge of this place, has long been hiding in the Yujing City and sleeping peacefully.

Niu Lu was really dragged out of the warm fur, and before he understood what was going on, he was stunned by a beating that cut his head and covered his face.
