680 Summary
(The war is not over yet, the next chapter, the excitement continues, it will only be more exciting.) Please brothers, don't be stingy with the monthly pass in your hand, subscribe, hehe, all kinds of requests)
Amin was unhappy in his heart, if it was a few days ago, Amin was like the sky, saying one thing and saying nothing, everything is arbitrary, and if he can't say it, he will have to reprimand me for it. It's just that Amin has just suffered a big defeat, and his anger has gone a little, and this is the time when his prestige is shaken, and at this moment it is also necessary to win people's hearts and appease the generals, but it is not suitable to use such drastic means.
He forcibly suppressed his disgust for my child, and said lightly: "This is not a bad thing, if it is an ordinary person, it will be directly frightened." We Jurchens are afraid of Wu Yijun, but it is precisely the reckless and rough people like Lakshen who need to succeed. β
I was not convinced, but after all, I didn't dare to talk back to Amin, and nodded as a tacit acquiescence.
Amin pondered for a moment and asked, "How many troops are there outside the city?" β
"This?" The man was a little dumbfounded, and said, "When the little one came, Lord Rakshen didn't say anything, but Lord Huyak mentioned it, saying that there were about 30,000 people, and half of them were on foot. β
"This Lakshin really can't count on anything." Amin couldn't help but complain in his heart, and asked some more questions, that is, to ask people to take him down to rest.
The man was so tired that he almost fell asleep when he said this.
Amin walked behind the table and sat down, gently tapped on the armrest of the chair, and seemed to say to himself: "I didn't expect the Wu Yi army to sneak attack Jiahewei before, but just in case, I left 15,000 Han dog slaves in the city. There were also two thousand Jurchen soldiers. However, these Jurchen soldiers, half of them are wild Jurchens. It's hard to say how much combat power you have. Wu Yi's army had 30,000 soldiers. It doesn't seem like a lot, but considering their firearms are sharp......"
He talked to himself like this for a long time, and I couldn't hear what he was saying, but I was a little impatient.
Ever since he received the news that Jia Hewei had been attacked by him, he had been extremely troubled in his heart.
There is his only relative, and the person he cares about the most, his father died early, and it was Fortitude who raised him single-handedly, and it was he who entrusted him to send him to serve in the army of the Khan of the Jin State. As a result, there is a bright future later. And now, Gangyi is trapped in Jiahewei, and with his prestige among the Jurchens, if he is captured, what fate awaits him - I can't even think about it.
Actually, he and Amin are also somewhat related, I am Gangyi's nephew, and Amin is Gangyi's nephew, and the relationship is quite close. According to his age, I should call Amin a cousin, but neither of these two treats each other as their own brother.
He said in a muffled voice, "Amin, what should we do." Do you want to go to the rescue? β
Amin glanced at him, and there was something strange in his eyes.
He let out a long breath and said resolutely, "Save." Must be saved! β
"Huh?" I didn't expect him to be so happy as he agreed, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
Amin smiled bitterly in his heart. Like the baby, he had a reason to be saved. And it's all because of that guy - but unlike my baby, my child is bent on getting his uncle out. And what Amin is most afraid of is that Fortitude falls into the hands of Wu Yijun, with the prestige of Fortitude among the Haixi Jurchens, the moment he escapes, it is the time of Amin's defeat. From then on, among the Jurchens, there was no place to stand!
So he must come back to help, save Fortitude if he can, and if he can't save him, he must kill him! Kill him with your own hands!
Amin, who has never regretted it, now regrets his indecision a little.
"Not only to save, but also immediately, the heavy rain doesn't know how many days it will be, the heavy rain has stopped, it is when the Wu Yi army is attacking the city, their firearms are too powerful, and they can't support it for much time." He commanded, "Go down and count the full number at once, and tell the men that in an hour you will set off at once!" β
Amin's decision was so refreshing, so that the child who had already been prepared to persuade and even turn his face was a little drummed in his heart, but at this time he was a little hesitant, and he said: "Amin, you say, will this be a trap...... In case ......"
"Impossible!" Amin said categorically.
He smiled deeply, "Why do you think I didn't retreat after so much time in Partridge Town today?" β
"Ever since I learned that Partridge Town was a trap, I have known that King Liang must not be dead, and those Liang King's guards are just bait, and they have been used as bait, and it is impossible to say in my heart that there is no resentment. I deliberately left a few live mouths, and people tortured them, and those few cowards were recruited after a while. They said that on the day they first arrived in Partridge Town, a team of Wu Yi troops left the army and headed north, and was nowhere to be found. I still don't believe it, and I tortured a few more Wu Yi army sergeants, hehe, aren't these Wu Yi soldiers all hard bones! Those soldiers didn't know much, but they could also tell that there was a large army leaving that day, after all, such a big movement could not be hidden from others. β
"Looking down at the comparison between the two, presumably the Wu Yi army who are now besieging Jiahewei are secretly leaving. From the confessions of these captives, I deduced that the part of the army that left did not exceed 30,000, which was not much different from the number of people besieging Jiahewei. Just such a small soldier, how can he ambush, what to ambush? If there are fewer people coming, I'm afraid it's just to deliver food to us. β
Amin bared his teeth and smiled fiercely: "Lian Zining has been calculating me and playing with us between applause, this time he didn't expect it, Lao Tzu is not a fool, and he can't be played by him again and again!" Lao Tzu will also collect intelligence and analyze the battle situation! He must have thought that we couldn't and didn't dare to come back to help, but this time, I wanted to take him by surprise, not only to relieve the siege of Jiahewei, but also to wipe out his Wu Yi army besieging Jiahewei! β
"Let him too!" He tapped his chest: "It's so distressed once!" β
This inference is meticulous and rigorous, and it is even more reasonable, and I also admire it in my heart. Although he has long been dissatisfied with Amin, he still has to admit that Amin's talent is the first person in the entire army. Even if the general is resolute, he may not be able to match him.
He nodded heavily: "I'll go down and make arrangements!" β
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
The war was over for a while.
Exactly. It's this big battle that takes place in Partridge Town.
The battlefield that once shouted and killed the sky was silent again.
Heavy clouds obscured the afternoon sunset. The sky gradually became gloomy, and a gust of wind blew, with a heavy dampness, and the sound of the forest was like waves.
For several miles, the large and solemn camp of the Wu Yi Army had been reduced to ruins at this time, and the entire camp was almost made of wood and cloth, in the fire that had been burning all night. Not surprisingly.
The ground was full of charred wood, and the camp tent turned into ashes was black and black, and the ashes were scattered everywhere.
This battle. Wu Yijun invested three cavalry corps, a personal battalion, and an infantry guard, a total of more than 45,000 cavalry. Seven thousand foot soldiers, plus a hundred prohibitions, of course. They are also indispensable.
The Jurchen army was about 23,400, and the Fuyuwei Mongols were about 16,700. The total is around 40,000. The disparity in strength is not extremely large, if it is replaced by ordinary people. It's almost a fierce battle of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself. And because both sides are cavalry, even if they can't fight, they can still run through, so they may not be able to leave a few opponents behind.
However, the Haixi Jurchen and Fuyuwei coalition forces, because they wanted to win against the king of Liang, had to divide their troops into seven routes and attack six fortresses and palaces in the camp respectively, which fell into Lian Zining's plan to induce him to divide his troops. Then Wu Yi's army suddenly covered up, concentrated on destroying one first, won a partial victory, and turned a small victory into a big victory. Coupled with the low morale and exhaustion of the coalition forces, this big victory was expected.
This battle, which lasted almost a whole morning, 40,000 allied troops, almost more than 15,000 were killed, and the rest, except for a part of those who escaped with Amin and Ha Bu, most of them were wounded, of varying severity, and exhausted. After these soldiers were divided and surrounded, they saw that there was no hope, and if they continued to fight, they would wait for death, and they were still preparing to fight to the death at the instigation of the generals, but they did not expect that after fighting for a while, the news came that their own General Amin or the Great Khan had fled in embarrassment - you can flee, why don't you take me with you? As soon as the news spread, they lost their hearts and surrendered.
After surrendering, it was to be taken care of on the spot, and Wu Yijun was still unable to solve them, for fear that something would go wrong, and he would repay Lian Zining to make a decision.
These surrendered people may not really want to fight to the death in their hearts, after all, it is normal for people to be greedy for life and evil to die. It's just that he didn't dare to surrender if he didn't surrender, but as soon as everyone surrendered, they immediately surrendered. But they all sprinkled their anger and resentment on the heads of the two big people who carried them away, at the beginning, no one dared to beak with them, and then there was the first one, many people scolded behind their backs, but the voice did not dare to amplify, those Wu Yijun who guarded them were not good at stubble, as soon as they heard the movement, they immediately came over to punch and kick.
King Liang walked all the way, and carefully reviewed the process in his heart all the way, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Lord Wu Yibo not only grasped the overall situation very well, but even every little detail in this war was done perfectly, no wonder he won many battles. Originally, I didn't feel much when I heard it in Beijing, but now I witnessed this great victory of Xuan He, and the shock in my heart is really indescribable, and it is difficult to describe in words.
As soon as the war ended, Lian Zining took King Liang, Cui Wanrong, Ye Nai and others to the battlefield surrounded by a group of guards.
Seeing their entourage, both officers and soldiers knelt down to greet them.
Amin entered the chime, and it was one after another, seeing that this battle was not only not the end, but the beginning of a series of big victories. Lian Zining was in a good mood at the moment, and said with a smile: "Brothers, today's big victory, you are all meritorious people, and you will be rewarded with three taels of silver per person tonight!" All the soldiers of the Twelfth Wei Qin Liren were doubled, six taels per person. The commander has another reward."
When the news of the reward spread, the crowd roared with joy. In this day and age, three taels of silver. But it's a huge amount of money!
Especially the soldiers of the twelfth guard, they were stunned when they heard the news. Then there is a heart full of excitement and gratitude, the adult is so kind, it is really not in vain that he fought desperately, and never slackened. There are heavy rewards for death battles, and the rewards and punishments are really clear for adults, which is the fairest. As for emotions such as resentment, it is impossible for them to appear in their hearts, after all, people in this era pay the most attention to loyalty and righteousness, and they are paid as soldiers. is a desperate job, fighting and dying, the right ancestors, the right robes, worthy of Wu Yibo, what is there to say?
The soldiers stood up, knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed in thanks.
Wang Dachun followed Lian Zining's side, and when he heard this, his face suddenly turned into a bitter melon. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, he quietly stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "My lord, you are so generous." Even though we still have a lot of money, it's not like this!. β
"Haha, Wang. You, little family! Lian Zining heard this. nodded Wang Dachun and scolded with a smile.
In fact, what Wang Dachun said was the truth.
Wu Yijun's progress is extremely large. Not only did they have the rich money they saved from selling corn last year, but every month, the Lian's chaebol and the chamber of commerce in Shandong sent over a large amount of money, and each time they used the number of fleets to calculate. Sometimes, Lian Zining was still troublesome, so he repaired the books to them, and directly exchanged the silver money for the required materials and transported them. And every quarter, the commercial tax of Hizen Port in Fuso and the income of Iwami Silver Mountain are also from across the ocean, and the amount in the first quarter is calculated in millions of taels.
This is a stable source of money, and there are some unstable ones -- war money, for example.
Two expeditions to the north, first to the Jurchens in Haixi, and then to the Dajin Kingdom, the soldiers pointed directly at the Khan's court, forcing Wanyan Yeping to sign an alliance under the city. After these several wars, it is needless to say that the city is conquered, but also looted and looted a large number of gold, silver, pearls and jade, mountain treasures and wild goods and other treasures, every time a city is captured, it is a grand carnival harvest. People have no windfall and no wealth, horses have no night grass and no fat, and the amount of these war treasures is huge and astonishing.
Because the amount was too huge, Jingzhong only sold a very small part, but this part was enough for Lian Zining to surprise. With this, presumably, the indemnity of the Jin country can be said to be better than nothing.
But with more inputs, more expenses.
Speaking of daily expenses, Lian Zining's army of 2440,000 people spends more than 500,000 taels in all aspects every month.
In addition, the Wu Yi Army has newly formed 12 new guards, merged into a military unit at the army level, and formed 12 new guards, those weapons, equipment, armor, fat jackets, clothing, grain and grass, and even tents, carts, shovels, iron hammers, iron nails, kitchen knives and other messy things used in marching and fighting.
Of course, now Wu Yijun has formed an extremely complete system, and in order to establish this system, it also costs a lot.
Some time ago, the Yamen of the General Office was restructured into the Senate and the Senate, and many new departments were established. There has to be an overhead, right? You have to have a monthly payment, right? Moreover, the reason why Lian Zining wants to set up these many departments is to have more jurisdictional scope, strengthen the construction of all aspects, and have to build a lot of things, and the investment will naturally increase in a straight line.
Take the salt yamen as an example, if they want to do a good job, they have to find inland salt wells and coastal salt ponds, right? After finding it, you have to develop and mine, right? You have to ship it back after mining, right? After shipping back, you have to sell it before you can get the funds back, right? This series of procedures requires a considerable number of people and institutions, as well as storefronts, equipment, and so on.
Now Wu Yijun's investment in all aspects has exceeded one million taels.
In addition, there are some huge projects under construction, such as the outer city of Zhenyuan Mansion under construction, which is conscripting hundreds of thousands of laborers, and the estimated cost has already exceeded 2 million taels. In the case of concrete roads that are being built everywhere, for example, the long-term investment is even more than five million - that's still too little. In Lian Zining's words, he couldn't even hear a sound when he threw it in.
Including the forty counties established in Jiangbei, the houses, land, grain seeds, and cattle of those people were all given by Wu Yijun, and they have not been repaid a penny so far!
Truckloads went inside. I can't stand the mountains of gold and silver to go out!
really responded to that sentence, and the landlord's family has no surplus food!
Lao Wang is careful with his calculations. Naturally, it makes sense.
Lian Zining patted Wang Dachun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Wang." Didn't you just sell a batch of goods to the lord of Ewha County some time ago? β
"You're right." Wang Dachun said with a bitter face: "But if you dig out the capital, you can't stand such a spending!" β
"You, don't worry, we won't have a few days, and there will be a batch of big gains!" Lian Zining patted Wang Dachun's shoulder and smiled.
Wang Dachun was stunned: "Entry? What's in it? β
He thought about it for a long time, suddenly patted his head, and scolded secretly: "Look at my memory, how did you forget that stubble?" β
Heard the news that Lian Zining was coming. Shi Dazhu, Azig, Helian Leopard, Dong Laohu, Qin Liren and other generals all rushed over, and their descriptions were different. Azig and Helian Leopard had won such a big victory in the first battle since they joined the Wuyi Army, and their hearts were happy, so they also showed their faces, and their emotions were very high and beaming. Dong Laohu and Qin Liren both suffered heavy losses from their subordinates this time, but they both proved themselves, and they breathed a sigh of relief, but they were both descended generals. is used to being low-key, and the city is quite deep, with no sadness or joy on his face, as if nothing has happened.
Shi Dazhu was full of exhaustion. The brows were tightly twisted together, and his face was full of shame and shame.
He fell to his knees with a thud, despite the fact that the ground was soaked in blood. He said loudly: "My lord, the command under the mark is not effective. The reaction was slow, and he couldn't get out of it. If you have failed the trust of adults, please punish them! β
There was a sudden silence in the field, and everyone's eyes turned on Shi Dazhu's face, and then fell on Lian Zining.
They had never seen such a scene before, and they all knew in their hearts that Shi Dazhu was one of the people closest and most trusted to Lian Zining. If it were an old brother like Zhao Nanjin, who came out of the Chen Zi Institute, maybe he would go up and plead, but the relationship between these people and Shi Dazhu was just average, and they were just thinking about it.
Wang Dachun hesitated, but didn't move after all.
Lian Zining looked at Shi Dazhu, suddenly laughed, and picked him up from the ground: "You are at fault, this is true, but do you know that if you let it go, it may not be a great achievement!" β
When he said this, everyone was stunned, and Shi Dazhu was moved in his heart, thinking that this was an adult deliberately protecting himself.
"It's not easy for you to command such a big war for the first time, and it is not easy to do it to such an extent, but ......" Lian Zining changed his words: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and this official will punish you with three months' salary!" Any objections? β
"Thank you, sir." Shi Dazhu was stunned, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
This kind of punishment is no different from nothing, and I am even more grateful to Lian Zining in my heart.
"Get up, get up." Lian Zining laughed, kicked him, and said, "How is the errand handed over to you?" β
He had just informed Shi Dazhu to count the battle damage and prisoners.
"It's been counted." Shi Dazhu hurriedly said: "In this battle, we killed a total of 8,437 brothers, including 4,320 in the three cavalry armies, 693 in the pro-army battalion, and 3,424 in the 12th guard infantry. In addition, more than 5,000 were wounded, 7,300 Haixi Jurchens were killed in battle, more than 2,000 were taken prisoner, and the rest escaped. More than 8,000 were killed in the battle and more than 7,000 were captured. β
He glanced at Dong Laohu and added: "Lord Dong's department is chasing the remnants of the Jurchens, and it is impossible to count them yet. In the previous interception battle, 2,317 people were killed and 849 were wounded, and 4,490 people were killed and more than 6,000 wounded by the Tartar coalition army, and all the wounded were captured by our army. β
"Brothers killed in battle." Lian Zining took a deep breath and said to Shi Dazhu: "We already have a rule, the brothers who died in battle are dealt with according to the past specifications, and they must not be neglected, and the seriously injured brothers are also general, ask where to go." For all minor injuries, the reward will be doubled, and the time should be healed. You and Wang Dachun will do this together. β
The two hurried to be.
"As for these corpses, burn them, the weather is getting hot now, if they are not disposed of properly, it will inevitably be a plague." Lian Zining commanded. (To be continued.) )
