Chapter 556: Chen Yuhan and Jiang Beiming's helplessness

"yes, that's what I meant." Chen Yuhan looked at the two of them and nodded, "If we only send a grain transportation team, we can grab some food at most, but what we lack most now is weapons and war horses." ”

The third brother turned his head to the fifth brother: "Fifth brother, I think what the eldest brother said makes sense, we can't do it without weapons and war horses." Think about it again, is there a place where you can fight an ambush? ”

Lao Wu lowered his head and thought for a while: "Big brother, third brother, there is a place where you can ambush, but I don't know if the Tartars will go there, let alone how many people the Tartars will come to chase us." If there are a lot of Tartar pursuers, we won't be able to deal with them. ”

Chen Yuhan pointed to the map and said, "It's okay, tell me which place first?" ”

Lao Wu explained the terrain around this military fort in detail again. There is a small col about four miles away from the military fort that is very suitable for concealment, and with the terrain, a team of more than thirty people should be able to annihilate the Eight Banners of dozens of people, and I am afraid that any more will not work.

After listening to the fifth child's explanation, Chen Yuhan gradually had an idea in his heart. No matter where the Tartar grain convoy went, they first hijacked the grain wagon, and after hijacking the grain wagon, they withdrew to this small mountain col. Because this place is only four miles away from the military fort, the Tartars will definitely return to the military fort to ask for help, and there are only a dozen soldiers in the military fort, and even if they come to chase them, there will not be many of them. Chen Yuhan wanted to set up an ambush in this place, defeat the Tartars' pursuers, and then take advantage of the emptiness of the military fort to take this military fort.

The plan was to be carried out in three steps, first to send the food convoy, then to ambush the pursuers, and finally to take the military fort. After listening to Chen Yuhan's idea, the third and fifth children felt that this method should be feasible, as long as the plan was thorough, it could be completed.

Chen Yuhan was still a little uneasy, and asked Lao Wu to take him to the military fort and ambush site to check carefully, and felt that there should be no problem, so he returned to the station and carefully prepared with the two brothers.

After a few days of preparation, Chen Yuhan took the team around and came to the ambush site.

"Third child, you take someone to dig a big horse trap here, and you must be able to ensure that more than a dozen horses are trapped." Chen Yuhan pointed to an open space and ordered, "Old Five, you take someone to see some branches and set up two piles of firewood." ”

"Big brother, what are you going to do?" The third and fifth children didn't understand what Chen Yuhan's purpose was.

"It's simple, you see." Chen Yuhan explained, "There are only more than 30 of us, and if the Tartar pursuers come too much, we will not be able to fight." So let's dig a trap first, and it's better to trap their cavalry first. ”

"What's that firewood for?" The fifth asked again.

"In order not to give the Tartars time to think." Chen Yuhan said, "After we pulled the grain truck back, we stopped at the back of the trap and lit two more piles of firewood. In this way, the Tartars will think that we have burned the grain cart, and they will not think so much when they see the fire, and they can trap them more quickly. ”

The third and fifth children both gave Chen Yuhan a thumbs up: "Big brother, you have so many eyes." ”

Chen Yuhan smiled, "Don't praise me, go and prepare." ”

After three days, a trap was dug and covered with branches and sprinkled with a layer of dirt so that nothing could be seen from a distance, and two large piles of firewood were erected.

Lao Wu personally went to the military fort to investigate, and in a few days there would be a grain transport team to transport grain here, but it was not this route, but from another place.

Chen Yuhan made careful arrangements, leaving the third and five people to wait at the ambush point, and he and the fifth with the remaining nearly thirty people rushed to the only way for the grain transportation team less than a mile away from the ambush point in advance.

Chen Yuhan waited here for another three days, but fortunately, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and there will be no problem to spend the night in the mountains.

On the morning of that day, everyone was ready for battle, lying on both sides of the road waiting for the arrival of the grain convoy.

Lao Wu Da Ma ran over from a distance, jumped off the horse and threw the reins to a person and lay down beside Chen Yuhan again: "Big brother, they are here, one with three Tartars and six coachmen, and four carts." ”

"Okay." Chen Yuhan said a simple word, turned his head and ordered, "No one is allowed to speak, keep quiet, and listen to my orders." ”

After about a quarter of an hour, the three Eight Banners came over talking and laughing, and a few coachmen behind them drove four mule carts, no one knew that danger was in front of them.

Chen Yuhan bent his bow and arrows, seeing that these Tartars were only a dozen meters away from him, he suddenly got up and shot an arrow at the front of the Tartars.

The tartar was twisting his head to say something to his companion when he heard the bowstring behind his head, and with a turn of his head, a heavy arrow plunged straight into his neck.

More than 20 people rushed out from both sides of the road, Chen Yuhan knew that there were not many weapons in his hands, and he didn't dare to delay, and shot down another Tartar with another arrow.

"Lay down your arms, lay down your arms." A couple of spears pointed at the remaining tartar. More than a dozen other people also surrounded the four carts.

"Who are you?" That Tartar didn't expect to be attacked here, and asked Chen Yuhan with the hilt of his knife in his hand.

"The robber." Chen Yu said coldly, "Leave the grain cart and let you live." ”

Seeing that Chen Yuhan also had braids on his head and spoke in Manchu, the tartar couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, do you know where this grain cart is?" ”

The bow and arrow in Chen Yuhan's hand pointed at this tartar: "Hand over your weapon, I can let you go." Do you love the Shinjura Division? ”

The tartar was confused by Chen Yuhan's question, and replied without thinking about it: "I don't love the Xinjueluo department, I am from the Hada department." ”

Chen Yuhan put down his bow and arrow: "You are a Haixi Jurchen, I am also a Haixi Jurchen, and I am from Ye Hebu." ”

Tartar was once again blinded by Chen Yuhan's words, and he didn't understand why Chen Yuhan was so interested in his tribe: "Since you belong to the Yehe tribe, why did you come to rob us." ”

"Because I want to rebel against Aixin Jueluo, avenge our Yehebu and our Haixi Jurchens." After Chen Yuhan finished speaking, he didn't care about this tartar anymore, and turned around and walked towards the coachmen. Among the six coachmen, there were four Han and two Manchu, Chen Yuhan asked, and there was no love for Xinjueluo.

Chen Yuhan returned to the Tartar of the Hada Department again: "Listen, I won't kill you today." Our Haixi Jurchen was destroyed by Aixin Jueluo, and I did this to avenge our Haixi Jurchens and all the tribes that were destroyed by Aixin Jueluo. If you are willing to follow me, I will accept you, and if you are not, I will let you go. ”

"Can you really let me go back?" The Tartar was somewhat unconvinced.

Chen Yuhan nodded: "Hand over your weapons, you can go." ”

Lao Wu walked to Chen Yuhan's side and looked at the back of the Tartar rushing: "Big brother, what about those people?" ”

"Tie it up first, we can't stay here for too long, go back immediately."

Chen Yuhan led the people to drive the car, took off the clothes and weapons of the two dead Tartars, and returned to the ambush site with six coachmen.

"Big brother, how is it, is it going well?" Seeing that Chen Yuhan was back, the third child hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"All the best, where are you?"

"There's nothing wrong here, and no one has been here."

Chen Yuhan looked up at the sky and calculated the time again: "Third child, the Tartar will definitely chase after him along the rut, and it should arrive in the evening." You take someone to arrange the grain truck, and it is best to prepare everything, and I will go and ask the coachmen first. ”

Chen Yuhan came to the six coachmen: "Some of you are Han Chinese, and some of you are Jurchens, but it doesn't matter. My Ama is from Yehebu, and my Eniang is from Han. I am the son of Aixin Jueluo, but I want to rebel against Aixin Jueluo and Huang Taiji. If there is any of you who is willing to do it with me, I can accept you. ”

The six coachmen all looked at each other, but none of them spoke, and Chen Yuhan's heart suddenly surged with anger and helplessness.

Also helpless is Jiang Beiming in Beijing. Jiang Beiming received a secret letter from Ji Tonghai, in which he explained Chen Yuhan's situation in detail, and mentioned that Chen Yuhan was now asking for help from him, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas, hoping that Yulinwan could find a way to help Chen Yuhan.

Jiang Beiming's heart is contradictory. On the one hand, it is a good thing for Yulin Bay and the Ming Dynasty to have such a rebellious team behind Huang Taiji. But on the other hand, how to make good use of it, how to expand this team, Jiang Beiming's heart is bottomless.

This team currently has only thirty people, and it is not useful at all. Although the spark can start a prairie fire, it is not known when they will burn the prairie yet.

Jiang Beiming vaguely felt that the fate of this team should be the same as that of the Anti-Japanese Federation back then, being exterminated or withdrawn to a safe place.

But Jiang Beiming knew very well that this team must not be allowed to disappear, their existence was a threat to Huang Taiji, at least it would let Huang Taiji and the Han people in the Northeast know that there were still forces to resist the Manchus in the Northeast. However, it is very difficult to strengthen this contingent in the Northeast, because there is no mass base. It is basically impossible for the Manchurians to rebel against Huang Taiji, and the possibility of mobilizing the Han people on a large scale is also very small.

Jiang Beiming is not out of the question, but he doesn't want to use this method, and he doesn't dare to use it. Jiang Beiming knew that the reason why the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was able to grow to hundreds of thousands of people in just three years and conquer the city of Nanjing was because of their policy, but this policy was anti-human. Every time the Taiping Army conquers a place, all people, regardless of men, women, and children, must join the Taiping Army, otherwise there is only one result, and that is death. This was the reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was able to grow rapidly.

If he gave Chen Yuhan this advice, would he do it? If he did this, wouldn't he become the same executioner as Hong Xiuquan? However, otherwise, how could Chen Yuhan grow up quickly, Jiang Beiming thought about it for several days and still couldn't think of any good way.

"Beiming, haven't you made up your mind yet?" When Zhang Hai came back from Wang Chengen, he saw Jiang Beiming with a sad face, "Chen Yuhan is waiting for our reply." If we don't care about this, not only Chen Yuhan, but even Cobra will have ideas. ”

"I know what you're talking about, don't I have nothing to do?" Jiang Beiming asked, "Have Pan Xuezhong and Ge Tao come back, have you found Li Yan?" ”

"Haven't come back yet." Zhang Hai said, "But the news has been sent back, there is no such person in Qixian County, and they are now looking for it throughout Henan." Pan Xuezhong means that Li Yan is likely to be fictional from history, and there is no such person at all. ”

Jiang Beiming didn't ask Li Yan about it again: "What is the situation over there Wang Chengen, did he agree to my trip to Ningyuan?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Hai sat down and lit a cigarette, and threw another one to Jiang Beiming, "Wang Chengen's meaning, there is a lot of opposition in the court. Now that the Ming Dynasty can hold Ningyuan, it is good, and I am afraid that it does not have the ability to take the initiative to attack. And Wang Chengen said a piece of news, now some people in the court are very uneasy about Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui, especially Wu Sangui and his son are doing business with our Yulin Bay, and they are very worried about what will happen if Wu Sangui attacks the Manchus. ”

Jiang Beiming suddenly asked: "Who is in charge of the Second General Affairs Office in Beijing now?" ”

"Liang Er." Zhang Hai said with a smile, "Why are you confused, Wang Hua personally decided, Ge Tao is not Liang Er, and Liang Er's absence is Ning Yan." ”

"Arrange it, I want to see Liang Er." Jiang Beiming suddenly said this without a head.

In the backyard of the liaison point of the Second General Affairs Office, Jiang Beiming and Liang Er sat alone and drank together.

"Liang Er, do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Beiming told Liang Er about Chen Yuhan without reservation, and hoped that the Second General Affairs Department could send someone to the Northeast to find Chen Yuhan and develop this team.

"General Chiang." Liang Er called Jiang Beiming's official position in Beijing, "This matter is not for the villain to decide, the villain still has to ask the principal for instructions, and ask the general to understand the villain's difficulties." ”

Jiang Beiming smiled slightly: "I understand, you can ask your principal for instructions." ”

The reason why Jiang Beiming came to Liang Er was actually to ask Liang Er to report to Wang Hua. Jiang Beiming had already written a letter to Wang Hua and said his thoughts again. But Jiang Beiming did not send this letter out, because he always felt that his ideas were too simple and naΓ―ve. I don't know the real situation in the Northeast, especially in the Heilongjiang area. Jiang Beiming hoped that the Second General Affairs Department would make a judgment on his own first, and then tell Wang Hua his intentions, which might be more rational, after all, he was still the supreme military commander. If his letter is sent back to Yulin Bay first, it may affect Wang Hua's judgment.
