Chapter 43: Killing
"In September of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Jiayin, the general of the Liaodong Forward Battalion, Zu Dabi, the general of the Guangning Zhongtun Sentinel Cavalry, Li Xiao, the two men and horses heard that the Tartars ambushed my Jinzhou grain team, and they braved the wind and snow to help, annihilated the prisoners, and rescued the grain team. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a total of 43 Tartar heads, of which 25 were won by the Zu Dabi Department and 18 by Li Xiao, and the details of the battle are as followsγγγγγγ Ha ha. β
In a spacious hall with a warm hearth, on a Taishi chair covered with tiger skin, Zu Dashou, who was wearing a thick and warm fox fur, softly read the music handed in by Zu Dabi, and laughed out loud.
Seeing Zu Dashou laughing, Zu Dabi's rough face felt a little hot, and he looked at this majestic brother with a sneer, and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Zanyu (Zu Dabi), but I don't know when you became so familiar with that Li Xiao, and he was so willing to share the general's merits with you." Zu Dashou glanced at Zu Dabi, who was standing awkwardly, and his expression and tone were very teasing.
Zu Dabi's face was red, and he told Zu Dashou how he knew Li Xiao, how Li Xiao had begged for his own expenses, and how he later let himself share in his military exploits.
Zu Dashou shook his beard and laughed.
This Li Xiao, not only fought well, but also had such a skill in human accidents, and knew how to hold thick legs and pull relationships in order to safeguard his own practical interests, which is really not simple.
"Zanyu, how do you feel about Li Xiao?"
Zu Dabi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zu Dashou asking like this, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I think Li Xiao is a good person." Although I have a bit of a slippery head, I can fight and understand friendship, but I appreciate this guy a lot. β
Zu Dashou smiled faintly, he looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said softly: "Zanyu, according to my brother, this Li Xiao's future future is only much stronger than you." β
"Oh, big brother thinks so highly of this guy?"
"My ancestor is very old, I don't dare to say that I am very accurate in my eyes, and it is no problem to look at seven or eight points. Thinking that Li Xiao, who came from a humble background, is just a nameless and powerless Orion in the countryside of Jinzhou, but he can make many great achievements, and he will be able to pull the relationship forward and retreat like this, and he will definitely rise in the future. Even though he is young, he is by no means a simple character! If I don't say something self-deprecating, my three sons, Zerun, Zefa, and Zepu, if one of them can match half of this Li Xiao, my ancestor will die in Dashou, and he will be blind. β
When Zu Dashou said this, he suddenly felt speechless, so he sighed and paused, and a depressed expression appeared on his face.
"Big brother, don't be so angry, there is a word from over there, saying that the three nephews are doing well, but the eldest brother doesn't have to worry too much." Zu Dabi said in a low voice.
Zu Dashou waved his hand irritably, signaling that he didn't need to say more.
"Okay, let me go of your recital, and I'll report to the military department and the governor as soon as possible. Merely...... β
Zu Dashou paused, his face contemplative.
"But what?" Zu Dabi asked urgently.
"It's just that Li Xiao, the rank official will show him as the fifth grade, and the military rank can also agree that he is a thousand households, but this military position, I want to press him and arrange a general arrangement for him."
"Oh, big brother, why is this, this is a bit of a condescension to that Li Xiao." Zu Dabi was a little confused.
"Zanyu, you don't know, I'm actually protecting him by doing this." Zu Dashou sighed.
"Oh, this γγγγγγ" Zu Dabi looked stunned.
In fact, Ben Shuai also admires this Li Xiao very much. This person is a young hero, and he is a rare talent in my Liao Town. It's just that if he is promoted too quickly, his brother is worried that he will hurt him. β
Without waiting for Zu Dabi, who looked confused, to speak, Zu Dashou continued: "This Li Xiao, who came to my Liao Town to serve in the army, only took more than three months in total, and he could be promoted to Zhengqianhu. There is a way that everyone is golden, and the bones are destroyed, and this Li Xiao wants to further get ahead in Liao Town in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult. After all, among these Liaozhen generals, it is not my ancestor Dashou who has the final say. β
"Alas, it's still the eldest brother who thinks about it far-reaching, but I don't think about it so much." Zu Dabi scratched his head and said.
Zu Dashou smiled bitterly and waved his hand to make him stand down. Then he stood up and walked slowly to the window, with a pair of gloomy triangular eyes, staring blankly at the gray window.

When the ancestor was writing the manuscript of the report, hundreds of kilometers away in the Phoenix Tower of the Shengjing Imperial Palace in Shenyang, Heshuo Belle Hauge knelt on the ground and whispered to Emperor Taiji, who was sitting on the gold-inlaid dragon chair, about the beheading of 43 Tartar riders a few days ago.
After listening to Haoge's report, the two Hanchen Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who were sitting next to me, did not have a look of shock on their faces, but a solemn expression.
Obviously, these two people have known the news for a long time, after all, there are too many Houjin meticulous works in Jinzhou, and the ventilation report is still very sensitive.
There was silence in the entire Phoenix Building, and several eunuchs behind Huang Taiji shrank their necks one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.
Only in the huge white cloud carved dragon silver brazier in the hall, the blazing furnace fire was crackling, resisting the bone-chilling cold brought by the cold wind that constantly invaded from the door and window.
Huang Taiji got up slowly, over the years, he has gained a lot of weight, the history books say that he weighs at least 130 kilograms, and only extremely strong horses can bear his weight. The big fat man staggered down the dragon steps and stood still by the brazier, but instead of calling Hauge to his feet, he looked out the window in distraction.
Li Xiao, it's this Li Xiao again!
I thought that at the beginning, I still wanted to pull this person into the arms of Dajin, but I didn't expect that this person was a stone in the latrine, smelly and hard, not only did he not appreciate it, but he also beheaded 43 Dajin soldiers!
This person, like a vicious spike, stabbed him unguardedly, stabbing himself in unbearable pain. Although it did not cause fundamental damage to Daikin, this piercing pain was enough to make him unforgettable.
"The child is willing to ask Khan Ama to send troops immediately, and the child is willing to personally lead the army to attack Jinzhou, and I will personally cut off the head of Li Xiao's dog to avenge my sacrifice of the Dajin soldiers!" Hauge, who knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and looked hideous.
Huang Taiji sighed, turned around slowly, but didn't look at Haoge's eager gaze on the ground, but said slowly to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who had been silent: "This matter, may I ask the two gentlemen, but how to deal with it?" β
Ning Wan was the first to speak: "Great Khan, I think that Heshuo Beyler's desire to avenge the sacrifice of the soldiers is commendable, but it is not a good time to dispatch a large army at this moment, there is a wayγγγγγγ β
"Rather finish me! You are a Han minister, a military aircraft who knows a fart, and you are talking nonsense here! Hauge listened to my tactful objection, and his heart was greatly annoyed, and he interrupted him angrily.
"Hauge, how dare you speak to Mr. like that! Mr. Ning is a well-educated person in my museum, and what he talks about is full of real insights, how can you be so disrespectful! How many times has Father Khan told you that those who achieve great things should have a calm temperament and a broad heart. You are so impatient, you really let my father Khan down! β
"Khan Amma, the child knows his mistakesγγγγγγ"
Huang Taiji angrily reprimanded, making Haoge bow his head with hatred and hatred, and didn't dare to say more.
"Mr. Ning, let's go on." Huang Taiji changed his expression and said to Ning Wan, who looked embarrassed.
Ning Wan coughed lightly twice, and continued: "Great Khan, according to your order, the most important thing for me Dajin now is to ask the soldiers of the Eight Banners to focus on training the army and preparing grain and grass, so as to prepare for the beginning of spring next year, I will go all out to attack the rest of the Han Dynasty that is far away in Qinghai, and completely eliminate the leader of the Han Dynasty Lin Dan Khan, who has always been the enemy of our dynasty. β
After I finished saying this, Fan Wencheng on the side interjected: "The words of the father-in-law, the students also look at it. If our army changes the established national policy, regardless of the current situation that the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are not complete, and forcibly raises troops to attack Jinzhou of the Ming Kingdom, in the middle of winter, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and the army goes out to fight, morale will inevitably be low, and heavy snow will block the road, and the transportation of grain and grass is also difficult. However, the Ming army can wait for work, relying on the geographical advantages of the fortified city and our army to consume it, if so, the war will inevitably be prolonged, and the strategy of the Han Department of the Spring Expedition next year will be difficult to implement. β
The two gentlemen were right, and so was Ben Khan. The state has a decision, and then it is moved, and it is really not possible to raise troops out of anger. The arguments of the two bachelors are the words of the old man seeking the country. Huang Taiji bowed his head slightly, and his eyes were particularly deep.
"Father Khan! The 43-level beheading of our officers and men is a shame unprecedented in recent years. If there is no punishment for the Ming army, then the Ming dog will definitely be arrogant and look down on my Eight Banners warriors, how can this be made! β
Hauge was still unconvinced, and said aggrievedly and loudly underground.
Huang Taiji's face suddenly became very serious again.
"Great Khan, Heshuo Beyler's words are also reasonable, if our army suffers a secret loss in vain, but there is no punishment for the Ming army, I am really afraid that the Ming people will despise my Eight Banners, and it will greatly frustrate the morale of our army." Fan Wencheng said in a low voice.
"What is the best plan for that gentleman?"
"The Great Khan, in the opinion of the students, can be divided into two steps. One is to fight the Ming army, and the other is to get rid of Li Xiao. β
On Fan Wencheng's face, the scholar's graceful temperament disappeared in an instant, and suddenly became ruthless and inexplicable.
"Bachelor, but please be detailed."
"Great Khan, although our army cannot be moved lightly now, we can make a partial general lead an elite army of 2,000 to Jinzhou and other places, and instead of attacking the Ming army's cities and forts, it will specifically attack the villages near it and capture its people. Those Liaozhen Ming troops only dared to hold on to the city, and they never had the courage to fight our army head-on. In this way, our army should be able to plunder back, thereby weakening the Ming Kingdom and strengthening our Dajin. Then, the defeat of the loss of the sentinel cavalry can be reversed, and the morale of the army can also be greatly restored. β
"Mr. Fan's plan is very good, so how can he get rid of Li Xiao?" Huang Taiji's big cake face began to show an obvious smile.
"Great Khan, deal with this person, from the perspective of students, you can't win by force, but you can get rid of it." When Fan Wencheng said this, a sinister sneer appeared on his face.
"Go on."
"Great Khan, now Li Xiao's superior is the garrison king of Guangning Zhongtun Station, this person has been carefully bought by our army, and he has been secretly friendly with my Dajin. I can make the fine work secretly send gold silk, and envelop it, so that it will work for me. Then, after he is completely co-opted by me, I will order him to use no matter what strategy he uses, whether it is to send troops or poison, as long as he can get rid of Li Xiao as soon as possible. If it succeeds, I will reward this person with a lot of money. This should be done. β
"What if King Dodge accepts the gold silk but doesn't do anything?" Hauge on the ground couldn't help but interject.
"He dares!" Fan Wencheng sneered again: "If you swallow my bait, how can you not serve my big gold." If he dares to swallow gold and silver, I will send a fine work to report to the Ming State General Soldier Zu Dashou and the governor Fang Yizao and others, and hand over the letters and documents of his dealings with my Dajin to them. β
"This plan is very good. It is really wonderful to let these Ming generals fight and kill each other. After listening to Ning Wan on the side, I couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Huang Taiji's face was also full of appreciation, and he said lightly to Haoge on the ground at this time: "Haoge, you kneel down." β
"Hey, Shehan Amma."
After Haoge, who had a happy face, got up from the ground, Huang Taiji put his hands behind his back and ordered Fan Wencheng and the others loudly.
"Passing on the will of the Khan, and fixing the mountain Ezhen Ilgen Jueluo. Ahsan led an elite army of 2,000 horses and soldiers to Jinzhou to plunder the population of the village. Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Literature Museum, dispatched a detailed work to make friends with the Ming army garrison Wang Daoqi, and must let him get rid of it as soon as possible, this Li Xiao, who is the enemy of my Dajin! β
Huang Taiji paused, his face was full of coldness, and his tone was aggravated: "Master Fan, listen well, this Li Xiao, Ben Khan only needs to die, not live!" β
"Wechen respectfully obeys the order!"
(Note: This time Chongzhen's sixth winter of Ilgen Jueluo.) Ahsan led his troops to plunder, which is recorded in "Qing Shilu" and "Eight Banners", and it is not made up by the author at will. οΌ
