Chapter 638 - Promise not to make trouble
Boom Boom Boom ...... With the rumbling cannon, the projectiles slanted down from the city like raindrops, Chang Mao stood at the head of the city with a torch and shouted loudly, "If there is a kind of Tartar, hurry over and taste your Chang Ye's cannon, hahaha......"
Ma Du sat cross-legged behind the female wall, "I said Chang Mao, can you save some ammunition, they sent hundreds of people to attack the city, you put three rounds of artillery, this is all Qian Imperial Court finally gave some supplies, you can't just mess it up, if they come to attack the city again, let people release their guns, we should be condescending to shoot farther than their bows and arrows." ”
"Dudu, you are just worrying about it, you have only fired a few cannons since you entered Liaodong, how can you run out of ammunition so quickly. Speaking of which, these Tartars can't help fighting, it's better than when we attack it in the first year of Hongwu, and this bird doesn't know how to occupy the Central Plains in the first place. ”
"Then you really underestimate the Mongols, they not only occupied the Central Plains, but also took advantage of the advantage of cavalry and archery from the Central Plains to the west of thousands of miles of land are their territory, to the north they almost to the polar regions where day and night are indiscriminate, how unbeatable it was back then, and now many Mongolians can't even ride and shoot from their ancestors."
"Where else is there to the west? I heard Deng Zhen say that the west side is the desert Gobi. ”
"Listen to his nonsense, if there is no one where the Semu people came from, and I am talking about a place that is even farther away than the old home of the Semu, one day we will also get there, the Mongols use horses and we use boats......"
"Haha...... Here we go again! Chang Mao laughed, the Mongolian cavalry in front of him was more interesting to Chang Mao than in the distant countries of the west, commanding the soldiers, he was excited to run around on the city wall, directing the gunners and gunners to shoot in turn.
The Mongols were not good at attacking the city, riding horses to shoot arrows on the city wall but the head was not very good, after the guns of the Ming army rang out, they could only leave a pile of corpses and flee, at this time they will definitely miss the ancestors of the Central Plains when the great return cannon showed its might.
A herald hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and said to Ma Du: "Governor, Mao Shi's scout has entered the city from the north gate, saying that Mao Yanshi is rushing here with Naha's family, but he was entangled by two thousand cavalry of the Tartars five miles north of the city, and Qi Tongzhi wanted to take a thousand people out of the city to respond, so he came to ask the governor to decide." ”
"What else is there to decide, how many times have I told him, he will do it when he thinks it is appropriate, and he came all the way to ask me, this is not a delay in the fighter, hurry back and tell him that the governor of Pontus agreed."
Seeing that the herald hurriedly walked down the city wall, Chang Mao said with a smile: "You want to be the shopkeeper, Qi Xiang doesn't dare to be a big guy who picks the beam, he still knows these rules." ”
"Hey, you're mistaken, the emperor is the shopkeeper, and I'm the big guy!"
After less than an hour, Mao Xiang entered the city, a large number of women and children were personally escorted to the city wall by Mao Xiang, Mao Xiang ran up the city wall in a smoke, and said to Ma Du: "Governor, I am fortunate to not be dishonored, and I have captured all the families of the generals under Nahachu." ”
Ma Du helped him up and said, "It's good to come back safely, what about the group of Goryeo cavalry?" ”
"All of them were killed, only a few escaped with their lives, Cui Jian was almost blown to pieces, and he wouldn't have been able to recognize him if it weren't for his waist card."
"To be honest, I quite admire this man, but it's a pity that he has a mind that shouldn't be moved, and no one can save him." Ma Du seemed to think of something, "What about Li Chenggui, is he also dead?" ”
"That man is shrewd, but he has been stopping Cui Jian, and before Cui Jian launched an attack on his subordinates, he had already tied him up and thrown him in the camp, and his subordinates brought him back together."
"Well, in the end, ordinary people can see through. First of all, take Naha's family to the city, and let the Mongols outside the city take a good look! ”
Then he took Nahachu and the families of his generals to the city and lined them up, and went to the sackcloth in their mouths, and they spoke to the Mongols outside the city in a few words.
The Mongols seemed to be sure of their identity, and they shouted excitedly, and Madu thought they would send someone to negotiate with him, but who knew that they turned their horses and headed south.
Ma Du muttered: "These Tartars are ruthless, and they don't even want their wives and children." ”
On the side, Li Chenggui said with a smile: "They are all partial divisions like you, and they can make up their minds about where to fight or surrender, and this is to go back and discuss with Naha." Listening to them just now, it seems that the eldest son of Nahazu, Chahan, who is leading the way outside, will definitely go back to persuade Nahachu to surrender when he sees his mother, wife and children in your hands. ”
"Huh...... Is there anything else to discuss, whoever kidnaps my family to death, I will definitely surrender. ”
"So you can only teach, and it is reluctant to lead troops to fight, let alone be a hero!"
"You can't protect yourself, but you have the intention to laugh at me!" Ma Du patted Li Chenggui's chest with the back of his hand, "The affairs of the Mongols are over, shouldn't the accounts between the Ming and Goryeo be cleared, to be honest, I admire that you Koreans have the courage to attack the suzerain." ”
Li Chenggui sighed: "The poor people of Goryeo are fierce, and there has never been a shortage of courageous people, but there are too few wise people, and it is really unwise to be the enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty. ”
Ma Du pretended to be regretful, "Li Shumi is majestic, I didn't expect Cui Jian to be inferior, and saying such things really disappointed Ben Hou." ”
"Hey...... Ma Hou's heart is really blacker than ink, do you think that the 20th army of the Ming Dynasty cleaned up Liaodong and invaded Goryeo by the way. ”
"Li Shumi also guessed it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time in the eyes of the Goryeo people, and it is also a good time for the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of Benhou, it is not easy to gather 200,000 Ming troops in Liaodong, and it is a pity to only pack up Naha and return to the dynasty."
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, the Ming Dynasty will not invade Goryeo, and Emperor Hongwu will not be wise and wise to do this loss-making business."
Li Chenggui guessed correctly, the next day Ma Du received an edict from Lao Zhu from Yingtian, without asking Ma Du if he had landed on Goryeo Dao, or how many people he had lost, only a simple sentence, "Let Li Chenggui go."
Ma Du found Li Chenggui with Lao Zhu's edict and asked him straight to the point, "That Goryeo is preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty, you shouldn't have let it out." ”
"Ma Hou is not stupid yet, he finally guessed it. Otherwise, how can such secrets be explored by Da Ming's details. Li Chenggui smiled proudly, as if to say that I am the person of Emperor Hongwu, I am proud!
I have to say that Lao Zhu is really a cow, Ma Du knows that he has only met Li Chenggui once, and he can subdue Li Chenggui in a few words, and willingly be a lackey for him.
"Give me a horse and a few days' dry rations, and I'll go back to Goryeo in the next place." This is the only request Li Chenggui made to Ma Du.
"Don't want me to go back to Goryeo with you, anyway, my mission has been completed, without the support of my Ming army, wouldn't you be sent to death if you go back."
Li Chenggui checked the horses, turned around and said: "Ma Hou also looks down on my Li family, Gaoli is not the Goryeo of the Wang family, it only takes half a month for Li to return to Kaijing and Cui Ying, Ma Hou just waits for my good news." ”
Ma Du felt that this might not be good news, in his opinion, it was better to let Li Chenggui take charge of Goryeo, it was better to let Wang Yu, a hairy boy, and Cui Ying, an old and angry young man, be in charge.
After sending Li Chenggui away, Ma Du soon received Feng Sheng's reply, and Naha knew that his family had fallen into the hands of the Ming army and knew that the Goryeo plan had failed, so he happily handed over the Goryeo messenger to Feng Sheng, expressing his willingness to surrender, and his attitude was much more sincere than before.
Feng Sheng asked Ma Du to take Naha's family to move to Guangning immediately, when he saw in the letter that Zhu Di actually took Bi Lin to the battlefield, he was almost angry, this bastard really dared to do anything, but he was not worried that the army would not be able to protect the safety of his daughter, how could the child suffer from the hardships of the march, if he was sick and made a disaster, wouldn't he die.
He did not dare to delay, and the next day he set out for Quang Ninh. But the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and not far from Shenyang, it snowed heavily in the sky.
At this time, it often snowed in Jiangnan, but there was really not much such heavy snow, and the soldiers under him were quite excited at first, but at night they became cold birds. Most of the navy non-commissioned officers are from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and they are stationed in Penghu all the year round, and it is estimated that they have never seen such a cold day in their lives, even if they hide in tents, they are still shivering, and some people are even frozen to death.
Ma Du was very glad in his heart, if those Koreans delayed until now, the navy would be over. simply didn't leave, found a leeward hillside, dug countless ground nests, laid out the captured skins, set up a fire, cooked a pot of mutton soup every day and put more chili peppers, drank so much sweat, and finally lost the non-combat attrition.
After the cold wave passed, the snow on the road melted seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and the front and back were delayed for almost half a month, and then I re-entered the road, and only after half a day, I faintly heard the rumbling of horses' hooves in front of me.
Originally, I thought that Naha would come back and rob people again, Ma Du immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, the weather was still very cold, and seeing the hands of the soldiers holding guns were trembling, he knew that the navy would definitely suffer a big loss in the fight, Mao Xiang made people look forward to the prisoners, as long as Naha dared to make a move, no one would be left. It wasn't until they saw the fiery red military uniform and the banner of the Ming Dynasty that everyone let out a long breath.
Lan Yu got off the horse and laughed and said: "Uncle Guo has worked hard, this time I can recruit Naha, thanks to you and your subordinates to fight thousands of miles!" ”
Lan Yu and Mu Ying invaded Yunnan together, Lao Zhu did not favor one over the other, and gave him the title of Marquis, this time Lao Zhu sent troops to Liaodong Lao Zhu let Fu Youde and him serve as the deputy marshal, which shows that Lao Zhu values him.
"No, it's not as comfortable as you eating meat on the fire in Quang Ninh. You are not staying in Quang Ninh, how did you get over Naha's defense line and come here? ”
"Naha is ready to surrender, where is there any line of defense, the marshal saw that you were late, and knew that you were trapped by the wind and snow, so let me come to respond." Lan Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the navy sergeant, "Doesn't it seem like your loss is too big?" It's quite energetic to look at. ”
"Who said that the loss is not big, two froze to death, and frostbite is hundreds!"
"Only two people? The people who have been stationed in the north on the Quang Ninh side are okay, and the soldiers who can be transferred from Yingtian have frozen to death by hundreds these days. ”
"Evil, that's because you don't know what it means to go back and teach you, and if you encounter such a cold wave in the future, you will be able to kill fewer people."
While the two were talking, another cavalry arrived, and one of them rode his horse, and when he got closer, he laughed and said, "I said that Uncle Jiren would not freeze to death, otherwise it would be so embarrassing." ”
Ma Du pulled Zhu Di off the horse, "My daughter!" How can you take her to war, if something happens in this ice and snow, I'm not done with you! ”
Zhu Di broke free of Ma Du's hand and said: "Uncle really has no conscience, so I followed Lan Yu to you in a hurry." Don't worry, Bi Lin stayed in Guangning well, guarding the stove to eat and drink spicy, and Ping'an and Jiujiang accompanied him to play in the snow I don't know how comfortable it is. ”
"It's best if it's okay, otherwise I'll respond to the fact that I'll find my mother to sue you."
"Just go and sue your uncle, did you really capture Naha's family?" Seeing Ma Du nodding, Zhu Di said bitterly: "In the past, you were captured at sea, how could you be so brave this time. I'll take a look at where the person you arrested, maybe it's fake, I have to interrogate it well! After speaking, he sighed and entered the convoy.
Lan Yu smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan is thinking of fighting a big battle, Uncle Guo has captured all the family members of Naha, this battle can't be fought, he is naturally not happy in his heart, I will also go to see Naha's family." ”
Ma Du hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't go, it's not early, let's hurry up!" ”
Lan Yu smiled bitterly: "I really just want to take a look, I can still rob you of the credit if you and I are related to each other!" ”
Ma Du was not worried about this, but because he was afraid that he would take a fancy to the female dependent of Naha's monk to warm the bed, he had this black material in history, "No, no, you better go and see your stupid nephew, his toes were almost frozen." Chang Mao, Chang Mao, your uncle has come to see you! ”
After meeting with Lan Yu, they finally arrived in Quang Ninh after two days, because Naha asked to see his family to make sure that they were safe, and immediately surrendered, Feng Sheng simply let Ma Du be stationed between the two armies, and held a surrender ceremony in his camp.
After Naha's defense area, it can be seen that his forces are obviously shrinking, with his family in hand, in addition to Lan Yu's 5,000 elites and Zhu Di's 3,000 elites, Ma Du is not worried about Naha's misdeeds, and is ready to pick up Bi Lin after the surrender ceremony is completed.
But he didn't know that Bi Lin couldn't wait, although she had a pungent personality, she was just a ten-year-old girl, and it was strange that she didn't miss her father if she didn't see her father for a year or two.
She bit Ping'an's arm and said, "Little uncle, you can take me there, I promise not to make trouble!" ”
