Chapter 120: Sending Troops

After consulting with Li Fulai, Zhao Changshun left a platoon to continue to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, while the others followed Li Fulai to the ambush site. Before the www.biquge.info set off, the Ming army lit the beacon fire on the north bank in turn, and soon the boundary domain city on the south bank received a large number of attack signals.

Mang Gurtai had already set off with three thousand cavalry, and the officers of the Eight Banners in the city did not dare to slack off, so they lit the beacon fire of the Boundary Domain, and a large number of beacon fires were passed across the mountain, and in less than an hour, the news of the attack reached Hetuala.

The Emperor Taiji of Hetuara had already received a reply from the Fushun Ming Army three days ago. The words "what is the same flow" could not help Fan Wencheng beside Huang Taiji, he explained briefly, Huang Taiji was furious when he heard it, and wanted to dispatch troops and send some color to Fushun City.

Huang Taiji's impulse made Fan Wencheng suddenly startled, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Great Khan, for the sake of the generals, don't raise troops out of anger, now we lack food, and we also need a victory to consolidate your authority." Fushun City looks like we are stuck in the throat, but Tieling is in our hands, and the importance of Fushun City is greatly reduced. If you are not sure of victory, please be cautious and cautious! ”

Fan Wencheng's words were sincere, and Huang Taiji also felt that he was a little impulsive, and he also agreed with Fan Wencheng's thoughts in his heart, but now Huang Taiji, not only considering himself, but also considering the glory and future of the Jurchens, he had to make some gestures to show his toughness. It's just that the posture of those in power needs to be supported by strength, and when the strength is insufficient, it is necessary to lie down and taste courage.

Fan Wencheng didn't want to say too deeply, this kind of thing stopped at the point, and if he said too much, he would cause death. In the Nurhachi era, the old Khan did not believe in the Han people, and even Li Yongfang, the first general of the Han army to surrender, was recruited as a concubine. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, his influence was limited, and he began to use the Huairou policy, actively co-opting the weak Han army, as well as the losing elder brother, to challenge the authority of Daishan, Mang Gurtai and Amin.

Regarding the dirty political tricks, Fan Wencheng thinks that he sees it very clearly. Therefore, he tried his best to avoid getting too deeply involved in the internal disputes of the Jurchens, so that he would die even more miserably.

"Great Khan, in another month, the crops around Fushun will be harvested, we will gather our troops and horses, pour out of the nest, on the one hand, through the field to eliminate the living forces of Fushun, on the other hand, we can plunder the troops to replenish grain and grass."

Huang Taiji was silent for a while, he agreed with Fan Wencheng's opinion, and he began to think about persuading Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan. Since the defeat of Fushun last time, the cunning Ming Dog actually lurked in disguise, and successively destroyed the garrison on the north bank of Salhu, disturbing Daishan and Mang Gurtai were a little uncontrollable, and asked to conquer Fushun again.

After months of military operations, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were already exhausted, and it was not easy to overhaul them in two months, and Huang Taiji was really unwilling to fight a battle with unclear goals. Either seize the grain, or seize Fushun, as for face, that is a dispensable thing. After figuring it out, Huang Taiji began to write letters.

Huang Taiji's abacus beads crackled, but he didn't expect that there were exceptions to everything, and the direction of some things was not under his control.

"Report! There were signs of activity of the Ming army on the north bank of Salhu, a large number of sentry posts were destroyed, and beacon fires were lit in the boundary domain city and the city of Salhu. ”

"Good thief, he deceives people too much, and he even treats my Jurchen as nothing!" The angry Huang Taiji paced back and forth in the council hall, chanting words in his mouth, scolding Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai for one moment, and then showing that the dog was extremely shameless.

Not long after, the next person reported that Amin, Abai, Tanggu, Abatai, Tabai and others asked to see him. Huang Taiji put away his anger, tried to calm himself as much as possible, and then ordered his subordinates to invite the ministers in.

After entering the council hall to meet the Great Khan, Amin spoke: "Great Khan, Ming Dog is unscrupulous, we can't sit still, if this continues, the morale of the clan will be depressed, which will affect our foundation, we must show our strength and teach Ming Gou a lesson!" ”

Huang Taiji raised his head and glanced at Amin with his eyes, he didn't understand why Amin, who had always been known for his calmness, suddenly became impatient today. Abai, who has always had a weak sense of presence in the clan, although he is slightly inferior in military affairs, he has also led troops to fight, and he also echoed: "What Amin said is very true, please think twice about the Great Khan." In the past, his father Khan dominated Liaodong, and the Ming court has been passively beaten, and it has only been less than half a year, and the Ming court actually kicked his nose in the face and hit the door himself, and now the Jurchens also need a victory to strengthen their confidence, I think the Great Khan might as well try. ”

Abai is the third son of Nurhachi, because he is older and has more influence in the clan, and his opinion is obviously not prevaricated by playing Tai Chi alone. Huang Taiji nodded and said: "What the third brother said is extremely true, I also have the heart to fight once, but I am worried about the lack of food and grass, so I am undecided, I don't know what the fourth brother, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother think?" ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji set his eyes on himself, Tang Gu, Abatai and Tabai hurriedly bowed their hands and said: "Everything is subject to the orders of the Great Khan, and we will obey each other to the death." ”

Huang Taiji was relieved that no one in the clan objected to sending troops, but his concerns were never resolved, and everyone present, except for Amin, was not good at military preparations. Huang Taiji lowered his head and was silent, everyone didn't know what Huang Taiji thought, and they all stood aside and watched the incident.

"Great Khan, about food and grass, I have an immature idea, do you want to hear about it first?" Amin's speech attracted everyone's attention, and Tabai was impatient, shouting: "Brother Amin, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up, you don't know the situation in the clan, what is the best way, hurry up and tell the Great Khan." ”

Huang Taiji bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "What the sixth brother said is very appetizing to me, Brother Amin, don't hide it, hurry up and say, I won't blame you for saying something wrong." ”

"Great Khan, in more than half a month, the crops in the field will be harvested. I think now is the opportunity, we set off today, arrived in Fushun is also ten days later, the Ming army is not enough in the field, as long as they dare to come out, we just annihilate one of them, to lift the morale of the army, if the Ming army can't shrink, we will sweep the periphery, collect the people, and when these are completed, just enough to harvest the grain in the field. When we go out to fight, as long as we bring a little food, once the autumn harvest is harvested, we can immediately alleviate the shortage of food in the army. ”

"Okay, Brother Amin said well, I'm in favor of sending troops!" Tabai shouted happily, unaware that this was the council chamber. Abai frowned and secretly tugged at Tabai a few times. Tabai is on the rise, how can he care about this. Huang Taiji is familiar with Tabai's personality, and he is not surprised, but comes over to praise Tabai for his heartiness. Since Huang Taiji's accession to the throne, the status of equality in the past has changed rapidly, and everyone is inevitably a little unfamiliar with Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji did not have a sweaty frame in the council hall, and everyone was a little difficult to adapt to at first. However, Huang Taiji is exquisite, and soon the atmosphere is lively. Huang Taiji put down the identity of the Great Khan, and was approachable when talking, and several people in the hall immediately felt deeply honored and grateful.

Of course, this does not include the treacherous and cunning Amin, who is familiar with military affairs, has insight into people's hearts, and has long been familiar with Huang Taiji's tricks. Amin hid beside him and watched silently.

The play is almost over, and it's time to make a decision. Huang Taiji believed that the Ming army harassed the north bank of Salhu with the intention of the boundary domain, so he first gathered the vanguard to sweep the north bank to stabilize the situation of the boundary domain, and then chose the opportunity to send troops to Fushun, which was just the right time. Huang Taiji saw that everyone was supporting, so he ordered: "Come here, urgently gather 5,000 men and horses and seven days of grain and grass, and set off with me in the afternoon." Erbel Amin, preparing military supplies and grass, ordered 20,000 horses, marched to Fushun three days later, and at the same time flew a pigeon to Tieling, ordering Yue Tuo to send cavalry to harass Shenyang and the surrounding areas of Fushun day and night. The generals must work hard to rejuvenate my Jurchen! ”

"Xing my Jurchen! Xing my Jurchen! The crowd in the chamber was so loud that slogans could be heard from afar.

Fan Wencheng, who was standing in the corner, glanced at Huang Taiji with complicated eyes, he wanted to speak and stopped, but instead shook his head and quietly looked at the ground.

On the north bank of Salhu, after Zeng Shi led the second echelon to arrive, Shen Jia immediately ordered the third and fourth battalions to assemble near the north bank of Salhu Lake and ambush them. An hour later, smoke rose from the north bank, and Shen Jia understood that the battle for Li Fulai to remove the sentry had begun. Shen Jia ordered Liu Wu to lead the only two platoons left of the first battalion and retreat towards Fushun with the captured supplies. Liu Wu muttered, thinking that such a thing as transporting supplies could be done by any person, so why let himself, the battalion commander, do it himself.

Shen Jia thought about it for a while, and simply asked Wu Kuisheng, the commander of the first company, to return with supplies. Wu Kuisheng looked depressed, and finally caught up with a big battle, but he turned out to be an auxiliary.

I didn't sleep well last night, and after arriving at the shore of the lake, Shen Jia plunged into the grass and snorted and fell asleep. Half an hour later, Shen Jia was woken up by Liu Wu.

"Instructor Shen, wake up, there's movement on the other side."

Shen Jia rubbed his sore eyes, walked to the edge of the woods, picked up the binoculars and looked at the other side of the lake. Hundreds of Eight Banner Troops on the opposite shore were boarding the boats, and the huge and brightly colored flags were waving in the wind, which could be seen from a distance across the lake.

"The fish is hooked, go and tell the third company commander Hong Cheng and the fourth company commander Zeng Shi, prepare to fight, the plan has been explained, wait for the enemy to get off the boat, launch an attack, the lake shore is low-lying and muddy, Jiannu moves slowly, pay attention to taking advantage of the advantage, go."

"Instructor Shen, what should we do with our battalion?"

"Your battalion? Either return to the second battalion, or go back to transport supplies, do you have someone? Shen Jia's eyes were full of cruelty, and he looked at Liu Wu with a smile.

"There's also a squad of spies, which hasn't been useful." Liu Wu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"Damn, you have a lot of eyes, hurry up and give orders, come back in a while, stay next to me, watch the battle with me, don't keep thinking about fighting and killing, you are also a battalion commander now, you have to train your ability to control the situation on the battlefield, today is an opportunity."

Hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners rowed towards the north shore with a mighty shout. Although the Jurchens are known as fishing and hunting peoples, they are actually not very good at boating and sailing. The Jurchens used small river boats, which had limited carrying capacity, and today they temporarily sent troops to loot the fishing boats in the villages and towns near Salhu City. With great difficulty, he managed to gather thirty small boats, but he could only carry infantry across the water. As for the cavalry, Dai Shan didn't want to, he thought that the Ming army on the north bank would be two or three hundred people at most. The Ming army was cunning and treacherous, and it was okay to sneak attack the sentry post in the dark, and when they met the Jurchen warriors of the brigade, they only had the life of escaping.

Last time, a small army of Minggou was because he was too cautious and missed a great opportunity, so that the other party could easily slip away, and was ridiculed by the reckless man Gurtai afterwards. Dai Shan has been depressed for several days, and today he seized the opportunity, Dai Shan thought that it should not be difficult for him to send five hundred people to fight with the Yingpanshan garrison on the north bank to intercept the treacherous Ming Dog squad.

Before leaving, Dai Shan specially told Jiala Ezhen and Shuotu that after going ashore, they would block all the checkpoints leading to Fushun, and be sure that not a single bird could fly over. He Shuotu happily agreed, and he didn't even get a single corpse last time he sent troops, which made He Shuotu suffer a lot of criticism, but fortunately, the Great Khan said something for himself, so he barely kept his position. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, He Shuotu is excited, and he secretly vows to behead the Ming troops who broke through to the north shore one by one.

Standing at the bow of the ship, He Shuotu was in high spirits, and from time to time he shouted to everyone to follow the command ship. The scorching summer sun poured down, stabbing people's eyes a little bit. After rowing two miles of the boat, the heavy armor made He Shuotu feel extremely stuffy, he took off his hat and armor, and stood at the bow of the boat against the wind, He Shuotu felt a deep coolness.

"Refreshing! It's so fucking comfortable, you dog minions have listened to me, be careful when you go ashore, not a single bird can be let go! ”

"Master, don't worry, don't say it's a bird, it's a mosquito, Lao Tzu has to drag off his mosquito leg and leave it to the master."

The crowd burst into laughter, and the Houjin soldiers, full of confidence, laughed as they spoke, rowing their boats to the opposite shore.
