Chapter 161: Exploitation
Yongning is a trading city that arose because of the horse market, and Tartars from all over Liaodong will come here to sell their surplus agricultural products and various beast skins, this habit has been maintained for more than 200 years, so this attack on Yongning still exposed the news.
In order to ask for a meeting safely, Yang Renyue immediately sent someone on horseback to inform Yang Renhuang, who was defending the city in Fuzhou, in order to wait for Yang Rentian's troops to come and immediately meet his troops.
This is the content of the conversation between Yang Renhuang and Yang Rentian at the gate of Fuzhou City at the beginning, and Yang Rentian naturally agreed.
Since the news has been leaked, there is no need to defend Fuzhou City, and the Tartars will send a large army to attack sooner or later, not because they are afraid of the Tartars, but that Fuzhou has no one in the four fields, and there is nothing to defend, and it is extremely unwise to send troops to garrison and fight with the Tartar army.
Yang Renyue's caution was justified, and the news of the capture of Yongning was reported to the desk of the Gaizhou guard on the same day that the Tartars who went to trade.
When Gaizhou and Lianyungang below were in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, it was a large maritime trade city in Liaodong, sea ships passed through China and foreign countries, since 1621 when the old slave occupied this city, those rich maritime merchants naturally fled by boat, even the local fishermen of Gaizhou who had a boat also went to Dengzhou for refuge, the once prosperous port was so decayed, it can be seen from here that Jiannu is a group of barbarians who only know how to destroy, do not know how to build.
At this time, Gaizhou was a coastal defense town in the hands of the Tartars, and the status of Jinzhou was about the same, and the iron mountain of Gaizhou also had a miners' uprising, which was suppressed by Li Yongfang and killed tens of thousands of local Han people, so there are not too many Han people in Gaizhou, basically the Tartars' clothed minions, and the Tartars garrisoned two Niu Lu in Gaizhou, which was directly led by Yang Guli, the general soldier of Yaozhou.
When the Gaizhou guard got this astonishing news, he immediately sent someone to report it to Yang Guli, the general of Yaozhou.
"Phew!" Yang Guli was furious, struck the book case heavily and asked the messenger: "What kind of Ming army is this, how can it break through Yongning, which is heavily guarded?" ”
Yanguli has reason to be angry, Yongning has two important horse ranches, and he is not lightly responsible for the loss of stallions.
The Tartar pawn replied: "Lord Commander, it was the people who went to trade furs this morning to report to our Lord Ezhen, according to him, the city gate was closed at that time, and the city shouted and killed, he could not judge what army was in the city, and how many troops there were, it is estimated that Nikan took advantage of the dawn, when the defenders were tired, to sneak attack successfully, and no one in the city may survive."
In the early days, the Ming army seized the Tartar captives and cut off their heads, basically leaving no living mouths, which was more convenient, because the Ming army was cut off their heads, except for the important Tartar generals who were captured alive and could sacrifice prisoners in front of His Majesty, which was more valuable, the rest of the ordinary Tartars were alive and the head was a price, so the Tartars who were caught were basically beheaded.
Even if the sneak attack is successful, this Ming army is not simple, this is broad daylight, can attack Yongning Town, which is guarded by more than 2,000 soldiers, the Ming army must be at least more than 30,000 people, and it must be an elite army.
The Ming army in Dongjiang Town can't do it, because the elite troops in the entire Dongjiang Town are less than 20,000, and the Guanning Army is impossible, the Guanning Army has the important task of defending the Ningjin defense line, and it is only possible that the Dengzhou soldiers crossed the sea to sneak attack, but at this time, a large area of Liaodong Bay was frozen, and the sea ships could not dock, and it seemed that it was not the Dengzhou soldiers, which way did the Ming army do it? Yanguli was puzzled.
Yang Guli is to replace Liu Xingzuo, as the chief soldier of the entire southern Liaoning defense line, Yongning lost, he is not lightly responsible, but he has no army to gather at this time, Huang Taiji this expedition to Monan, garrisons around the country have been drawn a lot, the entire southern Liaoning only Jinzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou, Fuzhou and other important places have not been transferred, like Yaozhou, Anshan, Liaoyang, Shengjing, these hinterlands, the troops are almost exhausted, barely enough for one or two Niu Lu's soldiers, just to deliver food, Yang Guli was in trouble for a while, he sighed and sat down on the chair, There is no such thing as the invincible spirit of the past.
The timing chosen by the Black Armor Army is too good, it is when the Tartar forces are the weakest, not to mention Yang Guli, even if Shengjing stays behind to guard the Great Belle Daishan, there are no troops to send, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Yang Guli did not send troops to pursue and suppress, in addition to ordering the defenders of Gaizhou to strengthen their defenses, he also sent a messenger to inform Shengjing's Dabeile Daishan of the loss of Yongning, he was worried that this was a sign that the Ming army was attacking the east and west, and the Guanning army was going to enter the army in a big way.
Yang Guli did not send troops to chase after him, and Yang Renyue, who was far away in Yongning, of course did not know, he still made plans for the worst.
The Mongols surrendered this time, which was a great favor for his shortage of troops, the Mongols were both treacherous and afraid of death, the Tartars and the Han soldiers died, but he the Mongols only died less than ten people, the more than 1,000 Mongols betrayed the Tartars, or the culprit of the sneak attack on the Tartars, it is impossible to rebel against the Black Armor Army to join the Tartars.
Therefore, after the war, Yang Renyue met with Albugu with a smile, and comforted him with kind words: "Elder Qianfu, you can judge the situation and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, our army welcomes it, there are many achievements in the uprising before the battle, and I will definitely report to my commander truthfully, and I don't know how the commander will reward him for the time being, but this officer can immediately release the freedom of your soldiers and clansmen, and those Jurchens and Han people will be all reduced to slaves by our army."
Elder Qianfu, are you satisfied with this arrangement? ”
"The general of the defeated army, how dare he speak out, the general's disposition, a certain has no right to peck, it is all up to the general.
It's just that...... I don't know what ...... your army is? ”
Yang Renyue's disposition is the best result, Albugu has no way to retreat, he can only rely on the strongman in front of him, but he still doesn't know who the new master is, so he has this question.
"Our army is called the Black Armor Army, and it has captured Jinfu Erzhou before this, even Jinfu Erzhou is garrisoned, and Lord Liu Aita has also surrendered to our army.
However, our army came to southern Liaoning mainly to capture war horses, and now that the goal has been achieved, the entire southern Liaoning is also inhabited, and our army has decided to temporarily retreat.
This official wants to lead the queen of the palace, and wants to ask the elder Qianfu and Lord Liu Aita to lead the army to escort the prisoners, and afterwards our black armor army will have its own reward. ”
Yang Renyue finally said his original intention, this time to capture Yongning, there were a lot of prisoners and property, and only the hundreds of soldiers of Liu Xingzuo's servant army could not withstand it, so he thought of using these Mongolian Tartars.
"The general has an order, and if the general dares to disobey his orders, he will not disappoint the general, and he can guarantee that he will not escape a prisoner or a good horse." Hearing that it was not the Ming army, but some unknown black armor army, Albugu was more relieved, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and swore an oath.
Guy is too vegetable, there are few victories in every battle, and the future of following the Ming army is really uncertain, and he is still a little ashamed to be in company.
"Hahahaha! Good! Hurry up, Elder Qianfu! ”
Yang Renyue happily picked up Albugu and immediately ordered: "In this way, without further ado, this official has decided to be led by General Liu Aita and supplemented by Elder Qianfu, and I hope that you two will work together to complete the important task of escorting the prisoners." ”
After saying that, Yang Renyue turned his head and ordered left and right: "Come here, pass on my order, and return the weapons and horses of the Thousand Commanders' troops, there must be no mistakes." ”
His slave soldiers, who had "obeyed," immediately went out of the ranks, and stood up in front of him with a loud snort, and shouted in agreement.
