Chapter 335: To the Jurchen
After the 8,000 Xi Wangfu pro-army servants and the 4,000 Jingzhou Han army servants went to the Great Song Dynasty by boat, Lin Chong used the same method to subdue other Khitan and Xi prisoners of war.
A few days later, the Liao State finally sent the family of Xi Wang Xiamo and the family of 2,000 armored cavalry, and Lin Chong also released 10,000 prisoners of war from the Liao army again.
Although the Liao side repeatedly said that they really couldn't come up with so much money, they only scraped together 50,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver, as well as some northern pearls and other jade jewels as compensation.
For this point, Lin Chong didn't bite the bullet and was aggressive, after all, the harvest of this expedition to Liao has been enough, and it is better to be a man and reap it when he sees it.
Because of this, Lin Chong not only planned in his heart that if Liao Guo really couldn't pay the rest of the money, it would be ignored; And he is also ready to return the remaining nearly 10,000 Khitan and Xi prisoners of war.
In this battle, the Liao tribal army that surrendered to the Liangshan army before and after, the total number of leather room troops was about 60,000; The Han army in Jingzhou was about fifteen thousand; Hearing the news, heroes like Yang Xunqing and Luo Ziwei led the crowd to invest in about 20,000 young people.
These Han Jingzhou soldiers and township soldiers Lin Chong naturally did not plan to put them back, but Lin Chong, who had more than 50,000 Khitans and nearly 60,000 prisoners of war, chose the best among them.
Remove some of the vicious-looking ones, as well as some of the soldiers and those with poor sense of discipline, and leave only half of them and bring them back to Liangshan.
Now put back 20,000 Khitans, Xi prisoners of war, and transport the most elite 8,000 Xi Wangfu pro-army ships to the Song Realm, and there are less than 30,000 Khitan and Xi servant troops and prisoners of war left near Jinzhou.
On the other hand, there were more than 30,000 Han troops and Han soldiers in Jingzhou, plus 3,000 cavalry of the Liangshan Army and 1,000 cavalry of the Liangshan Water Army and a 1,000 Liangshan Water Army Marine Battalion.
The following problem is that after knowing the news of the Liangshan Army, the Han people along the way all dragged their families and flocked to vote, and for a time the open space outside Jinzhou City was full.
It is not easy for so many people to be transported by sea ship.
If nothing else, it is not easy to just care about their eating, drinking, and sleeping.
Fortunately, among these people, there are local powerful patriarchs like Yang Xunqing and Luo Ziwei; There are also civil and military officials like Han Qinghe, Li Sanxi, Yang Yusong, and Yin Liang of the Liao State, whose ability to organize and manage is not weak.
There are enough food and tents in Jinzhou, Yizhou, Haibei and other places, and under the military discipline promulgated by Lin Chong and Xu Guanzhong, so many people are managed in an orderly manner, and their basic lives are guaranteed.
After all this, he saw that the days agreed with the Jurchens had exceeded a few days, and there were not many days left to go to Western Xia after forty days of the agreement with the Zhao and Song courts.
So Lin Chong left more than 2,000 main forces of the Liangshan Army to Xu Guanzhong and Du Bai to sit in Jinzhou and Sichuan Prefecture respectively, and he took 100 personal cavalry, 100 Beiwei cavalry, and 400 sailor battalions from Jinzhou to the Jurchen Yaozhou.
"Brother, in fact, we captured more than 60,000 war horses at once this time, if I want to say that there is no need to venture to the Jurchens again, I heard that these barbarians are completely unruly, in case ......"
On the endless sea, two warships, one large and one small, were chopping the waves, walking in the cabin of the main battleship of the Liangshan Water Army of 3,600 materials in front, Hu Yanqing looked at Lin Chong, and after several times he wanted to speak and stopped, he finally couldn't help but admonish.
Liang Shanjun pretended to be a Jurchen army and killed a world in the Liao State, and he stayed for so long.
Although the Jurchens and the Liao State signed a peace treaty three months ago, a fool can also think that the two sides are actually enemies to the death, who can guarantee that these Jurchen barbarians have no spies in the Liao State?
Once these spies sent the news back, how could the Jurchens not think that it was Liangshan Jun Lin Chong who pretended to be them.
Because of the incident in Zeng Tou City, there was a conflict between the two sides before, and now this matter is added, who knows how the Jurchens will react?
Once they come to Heng, detain the general's brother in Yaozhou, or do it directly, how can it be good?
Lin Chong smiled, Hu Yanqing's worries, he naturally understood, but he didn't want to show weakness, especially in front of the Jurchens.
If you don't go, you will seem to be afraid of them.
And if you don't go, it will have some impact on the morale of the Liangshan army.
"It's okay, once the Jurchens are unreasonable, we have the confidence to fight a bloody way, are we still afraid that they won't succeed?"
Wu Song naturally knew what kind of confidence Lin Chong was talking about.
Thinking of the terrifying power of the grenade, Wu Song, who was young and vigorous, was afraid that Wu Song, who had not done much, was a little eager that the Jurchens would have nothing to do, and then he could kill them on a large scale.
Thinking of the grenade exploding in the middle of the Jurchen barbarians, and the picture of ghosts crying wolves, Wu Song became a little excited.
"That is, are we Liang Shanjun still afraid of these Jurchen barbarians? To tell you the truth, since I went to Liangshan, every night in a lecture, I have heard them say how powerful the Jurchens are, they are brave, they are one against ten, and one against hundred, and my ears are calloused.
Don't hide it from Brother Huyan, I have long wanted to see the skills of these savages, they are all two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom, I really want to compete with them, so that they know that our Han family is the real hero of the world! A true hero! ”
This time, Lin Chong wanted to go to the Jurchens, but he didn't bring anyone, so he deliberately brought him and Jiao Ting, the two main and deputy generals of the special operations battalion, and the masters of foot combat. Wu Song had long fantasized in his heart many times about competing with the Jurchens, and they couldn't climb up one by one.
At this time, as soon as he heard Hu Yanqing say that it was better not to go, Wu Song was willing to follow, and immediately blew up, and glanced at Jiao Ting as he spoke, which meant that Hu Yanqing wanted to spoil the good things of the two of them.
Jiao Ting's personality was not so flamboyant, and he just smiled honestly when he heard this: "Brother Huyan, don't worry, we will definitely protect the safety of the military master's brother, and don't let these Jurchen barbarians hurt my brother's hair!" ”
Hu Yanqing saw that everyone was eager to try, and Lin Chong had made up his mind, so he didn't persuade each other at the moment, but just smiled: "Brother is a true god, I am afraid that people who can hurt my brother in this world have not been born yet, but I am not worried about this." I just don't feel the need to go. ”
Lin Chong smiled and said, "Actually, the plan can't catch up with the changes, before this, how could we have thought that this expedition to the Liao Congress would be so smooth and capture such a war horse at once?"
But then again, at present, although our war horses are almost enough, there is still a shortage of really good horses, especially the Liaodong horses nourished in the bitter cold land like the Jurchens. ”
According to Duan Jingzhu, Sun Shan, and A Shu, the Jurchen field fighters were all wearing heavy armor, and they were carrying heavy troops to rush back and forth to kill dozens of battles without retreating, and the physical strength of these Jurchens was certainly terrifying.
But the war horse is not as hard as a human being, and it can endure a hard battle, but the Jurchen war horse can!
