Chapter 188: High Rise and Dive Again
It turned out that Gao Qiqian, who had just returned to the capital, came to Changsheng Island to announce his decree again.
Yang Wenli respectfully invited Gao Qiqian and his party to go to the Commander's Mansion to drink tea and tea.
After the slave soldiers served tea, Yang Wenli turned sideways and asked, "Father-in-law Gao, why did you go and return, and please give me advice?" ”
"Vice General Yang, the first family congratulated, the former returned to Beijing, and returned the brilliant achievements of Vice General Yang to the saint, and the saint was happy, so he ordered Vice General Yang to select a part of the Tartar prisoners and personally escort them into Beijing to offer prisoners, and then the prestige of Vice General Yang will definitely be famous in the world, and the saint will be happy, and he will be rewarded heavily."
"Fuck, Shi Chuanchongzhen is mean and unkind, sure enough, Lao Tzu has just been cared for less than half a month, and he wants Lao Tzu to enter Beijing as a hostage, he wants to get beauty!" As soon as Yang Wenli heard the so-called good news from Gao Qiqian, he couldn't help but scold in his heart.
"Gonggong Gao, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the saint......"
"Why? Could it be that Vice Admiral Yang dares to be disrespectful? Before Yang Wenli finished speaking, Gao Qiqian's tone was not good.
"Huh! It is not that Yang dares to disobey the will, but the war situation is urgent, at this time, there are tens of thousands of Tartar troops stationed in the north and south Erxunkou, Changsheng Island is only separated from the mainland by a narrow strait, and the nearest place is only two hundred steps away, the Tartars can cross the sea at any time to land on the island, Changsheng Island is in danger, Yang is determined not to enter Beijing at this time, and please return to Beijing to report the matter. ”
What Yang Wenli said is not false, it is now mid-April, since mid-February, after a big battle between Houjin and the Zalut Department under the Mongolian Chahar, capturing 12,000 enemies, Houjin's prestige has risen sharply, and all departments have been shaken.
Huang Taiji planned to return to Shengjing temporarily, send envoys from all walks of life, appease all departments, and have a conference alliance, which is the famous Shenyang Alliance in history.
The army returned triumphantly, captured a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, the marching speed was very slow, until the beginning of April did not arrive in Shengjing, Huang Taiji immediately strengthened the troops to the Yaozhou general soldier Yang Guli, and now the other side of Changsheng Island is full of banners, with tens of thousands of troops, which has caused a certain pressure on Changsheng Island.
"This ...... If this is the case, it is understandable, so please ask Vice General Yang to take the Chajia family to the front line to see the truth! As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing, the Cha family has the emperor's order, dare not slack off, and hope that Vice General Yang will understand! ”
As the saying goes, the general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, the war situation is urgent, and the main general naturally can't leave for a moment, so Gao Qiqian proposed to go to the front line to inspect on the spot to see if Yang Wenli is talking nonsense and prevaricating for an excuse.
"Gonggong Gao sent an envoy to Changsheng Island, if the emperor came in person, Gonggong Gao had an order, and there was nothing to do."
Yang Wenli smiled and got up in response, and said with one hand: "It's still early, Nanxunkou is not far from here, we might as well set off here, after Gao Gonggong has seen the war situation, it's good to come back for luncheon." ”
"Vice General Yang also asks the front to lead the way, please!" Gao Qiqian also got up and gave way.
In this way, the court envoys and their entourage, before their buttocks were hot and they didn't drink a sip of tea, they went to the front line with Yang Wenli to inspect the military situation.
From Yang Wenli's Commander's Mansion to Nanxunkou, it was only a short dozen miles, and although everyone was walking in peace, they also arrived at the front line of Nanxunkou an hour later.
Xunkou is an ancient water checkpoint, and there are forts on both sides of the South Xunkou, but this side of Changsheng Island has long been abandoned and dilapidated, but it is used to prevent the shelling of the Tartars on the opposite shore, as a command pick, but it is just right!
Yang Wenli and his entourage made a lot of fanfare, Yang Wenli's entourage alone had more than 100 guards, plus the court envoys, the number of people was 200, and Yang Rentian, the guard of Nanxunkou, had already been rewarded, so he led several brothers out three miles to greet him.
"Big ...... Generals, subordinates and others are waiting for the generals to inspect the front line. Several people had habitually called the Grand Commander, but when they saw that the person next to Yang Wenli was suspected to be from the court, they immediately changed their words.
"Rentian, Renyu, Renzhou, Renri, don't come to meet Gao Gonggong, Gao Gonggong is the emperor's close attendant, and his status is honorable." Yang Wenli immediately spoke out again to introduce the high diving channel around him to Yang Rentian and the others.
"Meet Grandpa Gao!" A few people bowed down according to the words, they had armor on their bodies, but they were exempted from kneeling and bowing.
"Hahahaha! Excuse me! Gao Qiqian laughed and said with his hands on his hands.
Afterwards, Gao Qiqian turned his head and praised Yang Wenli a few people: "Deputy General Yang, your subordinates are born mighty and majestic, and they are all rare generals!" ”
"Thank you for the compliment! Several of them are my generals, they don't practice military arts, they are all well-limbed, simple-minded, embarrassed to take on big responsibilities, but they are loyal to Yang. Yang Wenli said politely with a smile.
After Yang Wenli finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered Yang Rentian to say a few people: "Wait for the front to lead the way, Gonggong Gao will go to the front line to inspect." ”
"Obeying" several people according to the etiquette of the Ming army, kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads to answer the order.
When they arrived at the front line, the tense atmosphere was revealed, and the black armor army had three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and behind the bunkers everywhere, there were piles of soldiers in black armor ready to attack at any time.
Suddenly, several thunderous cannons rang out, which frightened the court envoys and their bodies trembled.
Yang Rentian, who led the way, hurriedly explained: "Father-in-law Gao, that is Jiannu firing artillery, and Jiannu on the other side has arranged many cannons on the front line along the coast, and from time to time they will fire a few cannons to strengthen the courage of the Tartars." ”
With the reminder of the cannon, Yang Ren saved a lot of tongues, took Gao Qiqian and his party behind a broken fortress wall, pointed to the opposite bank and said, "Gonggong Gao, please observe here!" In case of a sneak attack by Tartar artillery. ”
"Hmm" Gao Qiqian nodded in agreement, but when he looked from the hollow of the broken fortress wall to the opposite bank, he couldn't help but gasp.
He counted roughly, there were at least 5,000 people, and the black and thick muzzles of the cannon were facing this side, and there were Tartar Han soldiers struggling to load, and it seemed that they were about to open fire.
Gao Qiqian immediately retreated, and said to Yang Wenli: "Vice General Yang, the Tartars are powerful, and your soldiers are probably still thin, if the Tartars take advantage of the night to cross the sea and sneak attack, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist!" ”
"Don't be afraid, there is a strait apart, and the Tartars can't fly, but the military situation is urgent, and I really can't get out of Beijing to see Your Majesty, and I also ask the Gao Gonggong to be a saint, and when I repel Jiannu, it's not too late to go to Beijing to see Your Majesty." Yang Wenli took advantage of the situation to present the objective facts, and his last sentence "Wait for me to repel Jiannu" provoked Gao Qiqian and couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
This Deputy General Yang is not afraid to flash his tongue when he says big things, the Tartar soldiers are powerful, and the meagre strength of the Black Armor Army still wants to repel Jiannu, it would be good to be able to hold it, Gao Qi sneered in his heart.
"Ahem!" Gao Qiqian coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment of his unexplained chuckle before he replied: "Vice General Yang, since the military situation is urgent, the Cha family will be enlightened and sage, so you will guard Changsheng Island wholeheartedly!" ”
Then he opened his mouth and asked, "In addition to this place, is there still that Beixunkou, and there are so many tartars?" ”
"No, no, no! Beixunkou is only a dozen miles away from Fuzhou City, and there are more Tartar troops there, if it is really to cross the sea to attack, Yang estimates that the Tartars will choose there, after all, the logistics there will be much closer.
However, Beixunkou is far away from here, and it is a two-day walk, so it is inconvenient to go today. ”……
