Chapter 127: The Fall of Fengji Fort 5

A gust of wind blew, the snow was raised in the white mist, a team of horse-drawn climbing plows loaded with bags of sorghum rice, a few climbing plows loaded with killed pigs, removed the head and tail limbs, cut into four pieces, each with half a pig's leg, in Liaodong this is called a corner of pork.

Some were dressed in cotton trousers, various animal fur clothes, some with boots, and some with bundles of arrows. About 200 climbing plows meander through the snowy fields.

Ilgen Jue Luo Daji, sitting on the plough at the beginning, a gust of snow mist blew through, Daji squinted, cursing in his heart the damn weather, this kind of big smoke cannon, the most sinful, the tiny snow foam drilled into the cracks, and the clothes inside were wet. As he spoke, he took out the wine gourd from his arms, unplugged the gourd, and poured it violently. A burst of heat went from the throat to the stomach, and the whole body suddenly warmed up.

"Good wine, comfortable. Lao Zhao, you can also take a bite," Daji said to Lao Zhao, who was driving the car.

"Lord Xie" Lao Zhao is not orthopedic, took it and poured it violently, Lao Zhao is a Han but a Han in the Jurchen area, in fact, there are too many such examples in the Eight Banners, the Han people can't stand the oppression of civil officials and generals, prices are expensive, and they are desperately struggling on the poverty line for a year, but at least there is one point that civil officials and generals have not considered, people have two legs, they can vote with their feet, and they can't cut off the people's legs. From the beginning of the Zhengde Dynasty, a large number of guards fled to the Jurchen region, a hundred years behind the growth of the Jurchen is countless Han people brought advanced farming technology and iron smelting, leather processing, textile and wine and other handicraft technology, these people have been Jurchen after a few generations, some can no longer speak Chinese, just like Kangxi's mother Tong Jia, is the authentic Jurchen Han people, Lao Zhao and Daji are neighbors, but also bare doll friends, Jurchen people generally regard them as their own people.

Daji is just a small soldier, in charge of more than 50 soldiers in his own tunzi, but his brother-in-law is Niu Lu Ezhen. So it's more moisturizing.

"My lord, where did you get such a strong drink?"

"You don't know, recently we came to Jianzhou a group of smugglers from Tianjin Wei, trafficked a lot of materials to Jianzhou, and were also received by King Khan. Use our ginseng, leather goods, medicinal herbs, and wood for spirits and tobacco, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. There are also spices from the South Seas. ”

"The king of Khan is very happy, and says that such caravans are welcome, that they will do business safely and that they will be exempted from taxes, and that I will go to my brother-in-law and give me a big pot of spirits.

Lao Zhao said: "This is a good thing, Jianzhou is short of salt, and it was terrible to get ten catties and eight catties from the officers and soldiers of the guard in the past, this time someone smuggled it over, of course the King Khan was happy."

"Yes, especially the spices, it's really a good thing, the prey that I used to hunt can't be put down in the summer, and it spoils if I can't finish eating, hunting depends on luck, and if I can't catch it, I'll starve, this time it's good, they showed the Khan on the spot how to marinate meat with spices and salt, rub the meat with salt and then smoke and dry it to make bacon, which will not rot for several years, and the Khan King was overjoyed and rewarded a mink fur to their leader Diao Shigui. I also agreed to his request, and each tunzi and town allowed them to trade under the banner given by the Great Khan, and each Tunzi Great Khan also set up a trade officer to be responsible for contacting them, and our brother-in-law of Tunzi said that it would be me."

"This is a fat difference" Lao Zhao said: "We are backing the mountain, some are leather goods, fungus, deer skin and deer antlers, and there are gastrodia ginseng on the mountain." Your Excellency, you want to make a fortune."

"Haha, who is with whom, you can help you and make a fortune together, hahaha"

The two were chatting happily when suddenly a cavalryman appeared not far ahead. Jeddah took a closer look and shouted, "Ming army, be on alert, stop." ”

Large smoke cannons were everywhere, visibility was low, and strong winds drowned out the sound of horses' hooves. By the time I saw it, it was less than thirty meters. More than 50 bannermen and more than 200 people who were driving the cart hurriedly grabbed their horses, picked up spears and bows and arrows, and before they could be gathered, the cavalry had already killed in front of them.

Zhou Yuji roared angrily and slashed to death a bannerman with a spear, the cavalry surrounded him from all sides, and the dozens of bannermen who resisted were quickly resolved, and the rest knelt on the ground and surrendered, trembling, these bannermen were all old, weak, sick and disabled and unable to go into battle before they were sent to escort grain and grass, and they had neither combat effectiveness nor will to fight.

Daji was even more cowardly, seeing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly hid behind the goods, and did not dare to raise his head.

At this time, Qianhu Zhao Tan rode over, "How is the harvest?"

"Lord Hui, a total of 45 people were killed, 21 people were resurrected, 250 people were killed and Han people, and 15 people escaped."

"Okay, good job, Wu Xiang doesn't need you, the official uses you, Yuji, you do a good job, go back and ask the chief soldier to give you credit" Qianhu Zhao Tan said.

Under Fengji Fort, the siege battle has lasted for three days, and Nurhachi sighed as he watched the shield carts in front of him under the bombardment of heavy artillery, and the defeated soldiers of the Red Banner who retreated. Not a single Fengji Fort can be defeated, let alone Liaoyang and Shenyang. It seems that a hard attack is not a good way.

Dai Shan walked in and looked at Nurhachi with some caution, he had just made a mistake, lost the opportunity to become the crown prince, and was deprived of all his minions and Niu Lu. almost lost his head without following the old path of his eldest brother Chu Ying. Abahai told Chu Ying about the black state, and in the end Chu Ying was killed, he won the favor of the old Khan King, and this time he sued him for the black state, so that he completely lost the opportunity to win the crown prince, fortunately, he was more familiar and quickly sold miserably, and the old Khan King was reluctant to kill his son again, so he kept the guy who ate.

"What's the matter?" he asked impatiently, seeing him cowering in.

"Father Khan, the son invented a new type of shield car, made of catalpa and ash to make a small wooden roof three feet thick, with wheels on the inside, three layers of raw cowhide on the outside, people hiding in the inside to push, pushing under the city wall, people with shovels and pickaxes to excavate, Fengji Fort is a rammed earth wall, can be dug in one day. Erchen experimented, and the shotguns of arrows and small cannons could be blocked. The stone thrower can't be smashed through."

"Then the Luzon bronze cannon may be able to hold back," Nurhachi asked.

"This, I'm afraid it can't be stopped," Dai Shan saw Nurhachi's impatient expression, and hurriedly said, "But when it gets dark, dozens of cars will be pushed over together, it will be snowy and cloudy these days, and the city can't be seen clearly, and Erchen is willing to personally go up and lead the meritorious service to atone for his crimes." ”

"Okay, okay, this is Ben Khan's good son, and he is the warrior of my state" Nurhachi excitedly took Dai Shan's hand and looked at Dai Shan with loving eyes.

Dai Shan showed a muru expression and wiped away tears excitedly, "Amma, your son is not filial, I made you angry, you must take care of yourself." ”

"Daishan, my father wants to see your father and son in harmony, brothers, friends and brothers, even if you let go, you can close your eyes."
