Sun Degong was seriously injured by the Ming army and was bedridden to recuperate, and the news that he had returned fire with artillery reached Huang Taiji's ears within two days. Huang Taiji was not angry that the Ming army dared to assassinate his generals, but angry that Sun Degong actually dared to reveal his secrets, and people like Sun Degong thought that Huang Taiji was not worth being angry for him because he was injured. Generally speaking, people who do great things have no feelings at all when they see their subordinates, there is only a distinction between useful and useless, and if it is useful, it will be appeased with good words, and if it is useless, it will be thrown aside and left to fend for itself.

Huang Taiji had just stayed in Daning for less than two days when he received news that Sun Degong, the defender of Yizhou, was seriously injured, and he also used a cannon secretly built in Jinzhou to fire at the Ming army, thinking that the Ming army had suddenly attacked and hurriedly led his troops back to resist the enemy. Tens of thousands of people went around in a circle and walked halfway before they heard what was going on, and after coming to Yizhou, they scolded Sun Degong on the hospital bed half to death in anger. Huang Taiji found that the shortcoming of his army was that there were no cannons, so he looked for artificial cannons everywhere and finally found a few talents, so he began to secretly build cannons after repairing Jinzhou.

The Jurchens are good at learning people, when Nuerhachi did not know how to fight, he sent people to the Ming Dynasty to buy a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to learn to fight, and later saw that the Ming army's city was strong and learned to repair the city wall, and then it was to learn to make artillery to increase combat effectiveness. The Ming army's defensive ability was strengthened after Ningyuan built the city, but they blocked two of the three gates and saw that the Ming army was not enterprising, and Huang Taiji thought that since you didn't come out, I would take this as a rear.

Now that the secret of Jinzhou has been exposed, there is no way, so he has to ask people to repair Tashan and Songshan and other important places by the way, while shifting the strategic focus from Mongolia to Liaodong, it is said that Mao Wenlong has been making small moves in Gushan and Kuandian for more than a year, and Huang Taiji wants to find an opportunity to touch this big trouble.

At the beginning, the Jurchens were still the Ming army knew that Jinzhou would come to attack and destroy after the cannon was built, so they strengthened the patrol density around it, who knew that the Ming army ignored it as if it didn't know about it, which made Huang Taiji wonder. What he didn't know was that the Ming army didn't want to sneak attack, but found that it was not capable of sabotage, Yuan Chonghuan asked the soldiers to go to Jinzhou with binoculars to reconnoiter along the Xiaoling River every day, but Jinzhou was so tightly defended that they couldn't even get close to the city.

In the case of no way, the Ming army had to think of another way, this way was to attack the east and the west and wait for the tiger to leave the mountain and then start□ Xingzuo brought back the news from Phi Dao and said their tactics at the same time, that is, first by someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest to connect with his two brothers, and then Mao Wenlong sent people to Shenyang to find an opportunity to kill, the person who pretended to be a Taoist priest he had already chosen, because he had this idea in advance, so before leaving, he asked Liu Qiao for two people□ Xingzuo meant that Huang Taiji took most of the Jurchen soldiers to deal with the Mongols, If Ning Yuan's side can make some moves in the Jinzhou area to contain them, their operation in Shenyang will be more likely to succeed.

Now that Huang Taiji had returned but stayed in Jinzhou and not returned to Shenyang, Yuan Chonghuan suggested intensifying reconnaissance of Jinzhou and deliberately attracting the attention of the Jurchens, so that the Jurchens could be nervous and attract them. At the same time, several squads were sent to the area of Jinzhou to attract the attention of the Jurchens and facilitate Mao Wenlong's covert actions.

In mid-February, many suspicious people appeared in Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Gushan and other coastal areas, saying that they were suspicious because of the strange color and style of their clothes, and only real Mongolians could recognize them as lamas' attire. The Han Chinese may not be interested in lamas, but the Mongols have a lot of respect for them, and these groups of lamas walk around the seashore without any hindrance, because now this place is now rewarded by the emperor Taiji to the Mongols who have returned to them.

Not only the Mongols admired Lamaism, but also the Jurchens, because it was related to the characteristics of national life. In terms of people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, the grassland nomads are in the cold zone of the north, often running wild on the grassland, so the requirements for clothes are not high, and it is enough to have two sets of new clothes for singing and dancing in the festival, and usually there is a suede sheepskin jacket or gown, which cannot be compared with boxes and boxes of Han people in the south. The food and cooking techniques are also simple, the puffed meat is mainly eaten and barbecued, and then gnawed, unlike the Han people, the plate is a plate, the bowl is a bowl, and the rice has to be washed for half a day.

It is more convenient to live in things, two tents can solve the problem of living in a family and can move at any time, the Han people repair the house easily not demolished, just like the ground to take root, to the Han people like nomads often move will toss the dead ⌒ aspect of the grassland people is everyone has a horse to ride, there is speed, save physical strength and convenient, the Han people walk on both feet and are tired, people want to ride a horse and ride a car to spend money, which is also not comparable to the nomadic ≤ a comparison will find that the life of the nomads is simple and easy, compared to the farming people have too many chores so they live too tired.

Because there are many things, the Han people do not particularly believe in gods and the like, everyone generally only believes in their own hands, and only when they are idle or have no way to grasp their own destiny do they ask God to worship Buddha. Nomads are different, they are very idle when grazing, scatter the horses on the grassland, they can lie on the grass, smell the flowers, listen to the sound of running water, raise their heads and see the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, this scene will make people feel relaxed∧ will be very lonely after a long time, at this time they will think who I am, where I came from, where I am and where I am going, and other philosophical questions, and if I can't figure it out, I will believe in religious propaganda.

Among the religions believed by the nomads, many people believe in Tibetan Buddhism, which is often referred to as Lamaism, among which the reincarnation of the Yellow Religion is deeply favored by ordinary people, because the reincarnation of the Yellow Religion allows people to see the disappearance of eternal life. When Genghis Khan wanted to live forever, he believed that Taoism had summoned Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect to ask about the way of immortality, and the problem was that Qiu Chuji had not been alive and immortal. The reincarnation theory of the Yellow Sect means that no matter what your current situation is, as long as you believe in the power of the Buddha and will live in another capacity in the next life, if you can still have some memories of this life if you cultivate the Fa, this is equivalent to a partial eternal life.

Because they know the respect of the Mongols for lamas, the Ming army sent a lot of people who knew a little about the customs of lamas, including some of the Jinyi guards who were originally looking around for news on the grassland, and now they are under the management of Liu Qiaohuan This time they were asked by Yuan Chonghuan to ♀ wander around the beach in groups of a few people, and most people thought that they were going to do things in a few groups, who knew that they were looking for horses and looking for bulge. The Ming army knew that the horses were all that the Mongols had, and if they found those animals that could be stolen, they would be slaughtered secretly, so that they could successfully provoke the Mongols and maybe make some noise.

However, it was said that on this day, two lamas dressed as brocade guards came to a mountain recess along the Fuzhou River, because it was just early February outside, the grass had not yet grown, and the sky was relatively cold, and there were no large-scale livestock herds everywhere. After inquiring with people, I learned that after entering the winter, the cattle and horses have entered the mountain, sheltered from the wind in the mountain recess, and ate the hoarded hay, and the grass grows on the ground outside, and then it is driven out to grow fat and matched, and the cubs go all the way along the river in the autumn, and turn two corners into a small mountain pass to smell the smell of cow and horse dung, the two look at each other and smile and continue to walk in, and they really find that there is a large livestock shed with many cattle and horses locked in it.

When they got closer, they found that the next room was smoking, and it was estimated that the caretaker was cooking and eating in it, and when they were hesitating, a sharp-eyed person saw them coming, opened the door and came out vigilantly to ask them what was the matter. More than a year ago, Mao Wenlong had sent people to this area to make trouble, and the Mongols who had suffered losses were still indignant when they talked about what happened back then, and if they hadn't seen that they were two lamas, they might have pushed them away a long time ago. Seeing that the two of them did not bring any sharp weapons such as swords, a few people who watched the horses for the Mongols were relieved, but they still asked them vigilantly what was the matter.

The two brocade guards knew what was going on as soon as they looked at it, they knew that the Mongolians might be lazy and drink in the warm house, and the house in front of them was leaking and it was estimated that the Mongolians were not there, and there were a few such houses on the far side of the hill that were probably lived by people who took care of the livestock, and the Mongolians might live in a comfortable place, at most every two days to see if the helpers had slaughtered cattle privately to eat. Seeing one of them clearly, he said, "I'm afraid that there is something abnormal in this mountain, so we are here to check it out on the order of the great lama." ”

Hearing that something foreign was about to run out of the mountain, several helpers who were guarding the cattle and horses were startled and asked, "May I ask what is going to come out of the master?" Is it a demon or a treasure? ”

Seeing that several people guarding livestock were looking at themselves nervously and with a little greed, the two lamas in brocade clothes and disguised looked at each other and nodded, knowing that the attention of these people had been attracted to it, one of them frowned and said: "We don't know what it is, we have to look around to find out, maybe it's a monster that eats cows and horses, but it may also be an auspicious rui like a unicorn, it is not excluded that there are gold and silver treasures to be born to find the master." If you have anything to eat, give us something, and then someone will take you down the road after eating, find the treasure and give you some shares, in case we encounter a monster, we will deal with it. ”

Several people looked at each other and nodded in agreement, thinking that they would win if they dared to fight in the danger of wealth and danger, and then they really encountered danger, and the two masters said that they would deal with the danger, even if they wanted to escape, they were not as familiar with the road as outsiders, and it was definitely not themselves who were eaten by monsters.

After entering the room and sitting down, a guardian said, "The two masters will sit down first, and today we are boiling some porridge, and when it is finished, everyone will drink it evenly." ”

After the two sat down, one of the brocade guards said: "You have a knife that I didn't borrow it to use, and the strap of the shoes is tied with a dead knot, I use a knife to pry loose it so that I can take off my shoes and bake my feet. ”

Another brocade guard smiled: "He is sweaty feet, he loves to sweat, and he suffers in hot and cold days, I am not sweaty feet, and now I am still dry in my shoes, so I don't need to be so troublesome." ”

A few guards were even more relieved to see that the two of them didn't even have knives, and gave him a sharp stick and said: "It is more convenient for the master to use this, since the Ming army came to destroy and kill many horses the year before last, now knives are no longer allowed here, and if you want to use a knife, you must go to the Mongols two miles away to get it." ”

The sweaty man picked up the laces with a small stick and went to the stove to roast them, and after a short time of roasting, a strong smell of tempeh permeated the room, and everyone covered their noses to look at him. When he saw that everyone had hurriedly put both of his shoes on his feet, and that everyone was still covering their noses to look at him, he put the stick on the ground and then took up a pair of wood with a charcoal fire and said, "I'll go outside the door and roast it, and you eat it first, and I'll come in as soon as it's ready." After saying that, he went out on his own.

As soon as he went out, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly scooped up the rice and began to eat. Who knew that before a few people had finished their bowl of rice, they heard several loud noises outside, followed by the sound of "crackling" everywhere, mixed with the roar of cows and horses and the sound of their hooves stomping on the ground as they ran. Everyone was surprised to put down the bowl and go out to look, only to see thousands of cows and horses as if frightened by the railing rushed out, some rushed to the hillside, some rushed to the intersections, and the "crackling" sound in several places has been ringing, making the cattle and horses even more panicked.

The one who saw the sweaty feet ran over in a panic and said, "Senior brother, the monster has appeared, this monster is so fierce that our mana is not enough, let's go back and ask the master to clean it up." After speaking, he turned his head and ran outside the way he came, and a brocade guard outside the No, and said to a few people around him: "Let's go back and ask Master, you guys should run quickly, and your life is at stake." After saying that, he also ran out.

Several guardians were at a loss, and at this time, the caretakers of several other places also heard the sound and came to see, and Nirvana, who was ashamed of the cow and horse, was also stunned, and the people in several places decided to report to the Mongols after discussion.
