Chapter 579: Liao Zhen at a loss
Tielingwei's Huazhou Northern Army was discovered, which should be a matter of course, but it was discovered after his territory was occupied for nearly a month, which is also a strange news in the world. Because Tielingwei's own family made a fortune near the side wall, when there was no looting that day, there were all kinds of benefits to be taken in the hands of the merchants in the past, so they naturally did not want other guards to share the profits, so the boundary between the guards and the guards has always been extremely strict, and unauthorized entry is not allowed. Although people in other places were cold-talking at first, but later Liao calmed down the method of rotating Tielingwei, and everyone made a fortune together, but everyone had nothing to say about the rules of Tielingwei.
This place is well protected, that is, it is more convenient for you to make money here, otherwise everyone will come to blackmail merchants and merchants, and who will still walk on this road in the future. After the soldiers of the Tieling Guard went out of the side wall to loot, they controlled the area around the guard station more strictly, for fear of being caught.
Therefore, the soldiers in other places are reluctant to approach the border, so as not to make a big move and hurt the harmony, over time, there is a large blank area around Tielingwei, if you look at the military map, it is like a huge place in the north, divided into a part of Liao Town, Tielingwei is alone outside.
This time it was found that he was still a small flag who went to Tielingwei to walk his relatives, and when he walked to the pass of Tielingwei with his family in civilian clothes, he saw that many people were in full swing repairing the camp checkpoint, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
He was dressed in civilian clothes, but no one paid too much attention to it, the soldiers in Huazhou were educated when they entered the customs, saying that today's southern expedition is not as good as treating foreign Tartars, they are all Han families, and they should not be too ruthless, it is precisely because of this kind of education in front of them that the attitude towards civilians is not bad.
Seeing this small flag looking outside, the soldiers of Huazhou shouted loudly to drive away, but they did not do anything excessive, because the villagers and hunters in the vicinity always encountered some of them every day.
It's just that this small flag is an officer, and I can see that many of the people working on the opposite side are wearing the uniforms of the Ming army, and it is also common for soldiers to go out to work, but the armor and weapons on the soldiers guarding are obviously not the style of Liaozhen, and the more I think about it, the more wrong it is. This little flag is also a little vigilant, and he doesn't dare to do anything, leading the mule and horse is to turn around, and walk towards home with his family.
Tielingwei was occupied by foreign soldiers, what are the soldiers there? No one knows, besides, didn't Tielingwei go out of the border wall to make a fortune, how could it fall? No one believed what Xiaoqi said at all, and even in the spirit of more things than less, no one sent detectives to check at all.
However, this news was still reported at the first level, and when it was time for the general in charge of the direction of Tielingwei, the people of Tielingwei began to escape, and the news was confirmed.
From the general to the deputy general, the deputy general to the general soldier, fortunately, it was the fast horse transmission within Liaozhen, but it did not delay the world too much, after Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, saw the news, his face changed at that time, Huazhou's move was completely different from Mongolia and the Jurchen.
Those two barbarians can basically be regarded as a small group of bandits harassment, and the nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Liaozhen will naturally not be afraid, but this so-called Huazhou is completely a country's style, and when I heard the soldiers who fled back, the Huazhou army behaved and was equipped with equipment, and even compared to the soldiers and horses in Liaozhen, there were rules and regulations.
It is not terrible to be a straggler, what is terrible is such an organized and disciplined army, but what makes people puzzled is that what kind of force is the title of this Huazhou, and there are some displaced people from Shandong and Hebei outside the border, when did there be such an army.
Li Gufeng was the chief soldier of Liao Town for five years, and he used to guard Liaoxi, responsible for the defense of the Mongols, and he didn't know about the affairs of Liaodong and Liaonan, he just heard that the magnates of the Beijing Division were cultivating famine outside the Guan, recruiting displaced people, and many soldiers and horses in Liao Town were automatically defecting to the past at that time, and this is what he knew, and he didn't know too much about the others, when he was in office, he also sent spies to reconnoiter outside the side wall, but the news he got was that it was just a place where the manor lived, Some of the group exercises are also not worth mentioning.
But suddenly, a disciplined and combat-ready army appeared in front of him, and he was really caught off guard.
Fortunately, this kind of veteran is calm, on the one hand, he began to gather soldiers and horses, and on the other hand, he sent a large number of people, there were negotiations on the surface, and there were spies in the secret, all of whom went to Tielingwei to investigate and see who the other party was.
However, the people who solved the doubts for the general soldiers of Liaozhen were not those spies sent out, but the businessmen in Liaoyang and Shenyang, and the general soldiers of Liaozhen were also the highest bureaucrats in Liaozhen, and naturally their subordinates were the same as officials in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, doing a lot of business, supporting their families or enriching their own pockets.
The relationship between these businessmen and the general soldiers of Liaozhen is quite good, and they all know that there is a storm about the news of the general soldiers' mansion, and when they hear the word Huazhou, these people understand what is going on, but these people are not lobbyists for Huazhou, but feel that Huazhou is bold this time, and it will inevitably be destroyed.
The intelligence of Huazhou can just be used to be close to the general army of Liaozhen, and some businessmen took the initiative to ask to see the general army to explain the reality of Huazhou.
It was from these merchants that Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, knew the general situation in Huazhou, which is ridiculous, if it weren't for the explanations of these merchants, he wouldn't have known that there was such a big world outside the border wall, and it was already connected with North Korea.
However, when asked about the number of soldiers, although those merchants did not know about these soldiers, they also roughly estimated that the population of Huazhou in the north of the border wall was about one million, and the soldiers did not know how many. Hearing this, Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, was a little relieved.
Some homeless people and the former military households in Liaozhen can have any skills, maybe they learned to wear uniforms and armor from officers and soldiers, and those officers in the past passed on some military law orders, which looks like an army, but such an army has no goods, and it is not worth worrying too much.
Although Tielingwei's soldiers are in Liaozhen, the level of the generals is medium, but Li Gufeng also looks down on them, thinking that a force that only thinks about looting and making a fortune every day, but the object of robbery has not resisted at all, such an army can not exercise any combat power at all, but will gradually disperse, Tielingwei's army was defeated by the soldiers outside the side wall, which proved his judgment.
The deputy general of the general army who can do a town is not a reckless and reckless character, although he thinks he has a judgment on the strength of the other party, but the best way to judge the combat strength is to send an army to test it, Li Gufeng is waiting for the news of the negotiating envoy there, and on the other hand, he is mobilizing the two guards near Tielingwei and letting them attack first.
Whether it is strong or weak, everything comes out in a battle.
The side walls on the north side of Tielingwei have been dug by the Tieling guards who originally guarded them, and the bricks and stones of those walls have become materials for road construction.
After those captured soldiers were caught, they have been frightened, afraid that the other party will not leave any trouble and kill them all, and there are also some people who think that you have five or six thousand soldiers and horses, what can you do in Liaozhen, my soldiers and horses in Liaozhen are too advantageous, but the side wall has just been demolished, the road has not been completely paved, a large number of people and horses began to enter Tielingwei in a steady stream, Sen Senran's army and those equipment have been completely deterred by these prisoners who still have some other ideas in their hearts.
The side wall is actually not just a wall, he is the defense system that the Ming Dynasty began to build after the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Jinshan Department, and the King of Liao and the King of the Valley were stationed there, more than a hundred years have passed, and the enemies on the side of the side wall have also become Mongols, Jurchens. Every time the Koreans paid tribute, they would pass through this grand project, with a fortress 500 paces long and 400 paces wide every 100 miles. They were deeply shocked, felt the extremely disparity in national strength, and deeply respected.
However, such a big project, after the first victory of the Huazhou Northern Army, began to usher in his last time, the side wall was demolished section by section, the bricks and stones were used to pave the road, originally those fortresses were garrisoned and defended, but to make a fortune outside the side wall, so that the entire side wall was empty.
After the road was repaired, the frightened prisoners were completely relieved next time, the northern army of Huazhou would kill them and provoke a civil uprising, but they were all driven to the front of Tielingwei, let them repair the city warehouse fortifications and barracks, and prepare for the entry of the Huazhou army, every prisoner was guaranteed that after five months of free hard labor, they could return home and reunite with their families, and the people in those places could also come out to make money by working, and the people's hearts settled down all of a sudden.
Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, got the news that the two guards and 8,000 men he sent were defeated and defeated, along with the battle report of defeat and the text brought back by those messengers......
