The victory of the ambush shocked Shen Jia, he didn't expect that in just a few months, a group of farmers who had just put down their hoes, after simple training, took weapons and almost captured the senior generals of Houjin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although there is a lot of luck in this, and there is also the reason for the death of the enemy army, it still cannot erase the excellent command of the commander of a regiment, and Shen Jia has great praise for the Ming army who returned to the division.

All the soldiers in a regiment were excited about this. The fifth and sixth battalions that came later showed a strong desire to fight, which once gave Shen Jia a headache. At present, the situation is delicate, and calming the restless military spirit has become a top priority.

The activities of the Ming army on the north bank were successively known by the local people, and many Han people who were eager to see the king's division were not afraid of the long distance, and trekked more than ten miles on foot, bringing the only prey and grain to visit the Ming army. Looking at Hermes-Epitek, who were in rags and cheering with joy, Shen Jia felt that he should do something for them. The Han people in the plains were either slaughtered by Jiannu or captured as slaves, and most of the Han people who escaped were hiding in inaccessible valleys, struggling on the line of death, and staying strong. The people spontaneously came to meet Master Wang, and asked Shen Jia how long he stayed here from time to time. Shen Jia was speechless, the protection of the Ming court was extremely important to these Han people, but Shen Jia could not make a commitment.

In order to continue to lure the Eight Banners Army to attack, the Ming army burned a large number of ships on the north shore, thick smoke billowed and flames raged, and the movement on the north shore could be seen from a distance across the lake. Houjin was unmoved, as if he had completely disappeared. Shen Jia was a little helpless, the ball had already been kicked over, and the next thing was to see Commander Houjin make a move. If they avoided the battle, Shen Jia had to wait quietly until the crops on the north bank were ripe, and bring them back to Fushun after the harvest was completed.

The retreat of the Ming army was inevitable, and the Eight Banners Army would then vent its anger on the innocent Han people. Before that, Shen Jia decided to move the people of the north bank back to Fushun. For those Han people who voluntarily retreated with the Ming army, Shen Jia distributed part of the captured grain and told them to withdraw to Fushun in advance. There were also some Jurchens who resolutely resisted, and Shen Jia ordered the Ming army to escort them to the Fushun Quarry.

In order to allow the captured Jurchens to arrive in Fushun alive, Shen Jia asked the Ming army to vacate part of the rations. Regarding Shen Jia's approach, Zeng Shishi, Liu Wu, and several other battalion commanders expressed strong opposition. They believed that the Ming army had limited food and had to distribute it to prisoners, which would seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

"Stone, tell me the fuck, is it easier to raise a person or kill someone?"

Zeng Shi showed great dissatisfaction with Instructor Shen testing him with such a low IQ question. He replied angrily: "Needless to say, of course it's easy to kill someone." ”

"Isn't that enough, let's make cement, repair the city walls, we urgently need coolies, we kill those captives, where can we find coolies?"

Hong Cheng was puzzled and asked, "Instructor, there are many homeless people in Fushun City, why do we still use Jiannu?" If these bitches are cheating and cheating, wouldn't we be even more troublesome? ”

"There are many displaced people, but a considerable part of the displaced people are women, children and the elderly, who are engaged in some garment making and washing work, but heavy physical work such as coal mining and quarrying is really not good."

Shen Jia raised his head, looked at the other side of the lake, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Counting on killing, it is impossible to wear out a nation's will to resist in a short period of time, if Jiannu can survive, and work hard for the slave chieftain with his head, after all, he is still a minority, these few people with a tough attitude are what we want to focus on, and at the same time, we must also put on an accepting appearance and gather the surrender elements of the Jurchens, so that we can pull a wave to fight a wave, and if we do it well, maybe we can also let the Jurchens fight themselves." ”

He Dong, the commander of the fifth battalion, thought for a while, plucked up the courage and asked, "Instructor, but as Hermes-Epitek, we can't survive, so what can we do to let them live?" ”

Shen Jia smiled slightly: "I can't make you believe it now, wait for another half a month, maybe it won't be long, I can not only let my brothers live, but also let everyone have meat to eat and wine to drink, but you definitely don't believe my words now, isn't it He Dong?"

He Dong is a newly promoted battalion commander, and he doesn't have many opportunities to get along with Shen Jia, he is a little restrained, his face is flushed, and he doesn't know how to answer.

Shen Jia laughed and said: "Everyone is ready to prepare, as soon as possible, all the people who are willing to move away, bring all the food, don't leave it to Jiannu, if it goes on like this, Jiannu may not be fooled, and we should also go back and prepare for the next stage." ”

In addition to the six battalions in charge of vigilance, the others quickly mobilized and went door to door to inform them that if they were willing to go to Fushun, the Ming army would escort them to the west and provide some food. The battalions sent eloquent Ming troops to explain why, and at the same time volunteered, explaining incidentally that Jiannu might retaliate against the local people.

The Chinese have a very strong sense of homeland, and unless they encounter irreversible natural disasters, ordinary people are very reluctant to leave their homeland. Shen Jia had no intention of using strong measures, he tried his best to let the Ming army communicate and persuade. After trying to fulfill his obligations, Shen Jiafang felt at ease. For those who refused to leave, Shen Jia secretly distributed the seized grain to the Han people to take away, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Jurchens.

During the attack on Yingpanshan, the Jurchens of a village took the initiative to come to help Jiannu, and Shen Jia forcibly took all of them away. Sooner or later, these people will become members of the Eight Banners, and the best way at present is to convert them into labor.

After waiting for two days, Houjin did not see any movement. Shen Jia was a little depressed, everything that should have been moved had been moved, and there was not much food in the army, so Shen Jia planned to withdraw to Fushun early tomorrow morning. After a night's rest, in the early hours of the morning, the spies reported that the Houjin army was forty miles away. Shen Jia was shocked, and news also came from the other side of the lake that the Eight Banners Army was about to move.

Shen Jia understood that Jiannu wanted to give himself a surprise attack, but there were many people, and it was too easy to expose his whereabouts, which was why Shen Jia used small-scale refueling tactics to act in the first place. Shen Jia decided to wait a little longer, he wanted to know the exact number of people on the other side. However, in order to control the speed of the opponent's march, the dozens of mines brought by the third echelon can be used on the way of the enemy's attack.

Landmines first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and in 1130 AD, the Song army used "gunpowder cannons" (i.e., iron-shelled mines) to inflict heavy losses on the Jin army attacking Shaanzhou. Practical landmines appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and the "Ming History Chronicle: The Rise of King Yan" recorded that during the battle of Baigou River in the second year of Jianwen, "the firearms were hidden in the ground, and the people and horses encountered them, and they were rotten". Early mines were relatively simple in structure, mostly stone shells, filled with gunpowder, sealed and buried in the ground after the fuse was inserted, and camouflaged. When the enemy approaches, the fuse fires, detonating the mine. In the eighth year of Wanli, when Qi Jiguang was guarding Jizhou, he made a steel wheel flint detonation device. When the enemy steps on the machine, the falling stone in the box falls, driving the steel wheel to rotate, and the flint is sharply rubbed and ignited, thus causing an explosion. Such a device increases the accuracy and reliability of the timing of mine firing.

However, the mine is a double-edged sword at present, and the Ming army needs to continue to operate in this area in the future, and the detection means in this era are limited, and a large number of buried mines will lift stones to shoot themselves in the foot, so Shen Jia is cautious about the use of mines. In the afternoon, the forward spies came to report that the mines planted on the road had been stepped on by the Houjin forward troops, and the enemy stopped thirty miles ahead and did not move. Shen Jia couldn't understand the other party's intentions, so he sent cavalry to continue to lure.

Shen Jia's repeated actions frightened the Eight Banners Army. A few days ago, 3,000 people of the Eight Banners were lured by the Ming army and almost annihilated, at this time, no matter how weak the Ming army behaved, the commander of the Eight Banners resolutely believed that this was the Ming army's move to lure the enemy. The Houjin Forward troops stopped and stopped, and when they encountered the valley and woods, they sent a large number of detectives to investigate, and many people complained about this. However, after stepping on a few mines, the soldiers of the Eight Banners stopped complaining and began to obediently carry out military orders step by step.

Hundreds of meters away, there were always scattered cavalry of the Ming army wandering around, and the Eight Banners forwards did not pay attention, they moved forward unhurriedly at their own pace. For a whole day, the Ming army did not take any advantage. Shen Jia felt that it was not good to go on like this, the atmosphere was too weird, and he was completely caught in the rhythm of the other party, and the situation was a little bad.

Just when Shen Jia couldn't figure it out, in the Houjin military camp, Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, Dai Shan, and Amin were arguing about the defeat three days ago. Huang Taiji believed that Mang Gurtai was rash and rash and did not organize the pursuit according to the previous strategy of the Eight Banners Army, which resulted in the defeat of the army, and Mang Gurtai should be fully responsible for this. Huang Taiji suggested that Mang Gurtai be removed from the qualification to discuss politics together.

After a few seconds of silence, the irascible Mang Gurtai roared: "Great Khan, I am not convinced! ”

Huang Taiji's face sank like water, turned his head to look at Mang Gurtai and asked, "Is what I said wrong?" ”

"Great Khan, you are right, I have lost the battle, but I am not the only one who has lost the battle? Of course, if you have to count from three days ago, I am the only one on the scale! ”

When Dai Shan and Amin on the side heard this, they immediately understood that Mang Gurtai's vigor had been committed again, and hurriedly said in unison: "Sanbeile, talk to the Great Khan well, don't be vindictive." ”

Huang Taiji turned his back, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "If you have any grievances, you might as well say it, just let the Baylors comment." ”

Dai Shan and Amin desperately glanced at Mang Gurtai, but at this time, Mang Gurtai was furious, how could he care about this. Mang Gurtai gradually understood that Huang Taiji was going to use himself to make a knife so that the other two could restrain themselves. Both horizontal and vertical were the chickens that were about to be killed, and Mang Gurtai was heartbroken, and said loudly: "Who was responsible for attacking the city of Shenyang that day?" As a result, I lost the battle, and even my father Khan was gone, so I could be better than me, why didn't anyone bring it up? ”

The battle of Shenyang has always been a pain in everyone's hearts, and no one wants to mention it. At this time, being turned up by Mang Gurtai was tantamount to uncovering the scar and sprinkling a handful of salt, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly changed. Dai Shan not only participated in the Battle of Shenyang, but also instigated and commanded the Battle of Fushun, and lost nearly 500 people three days ago. Thinking of this, Dai Shan roared angrily: "Mang Gurtai, shut your stinky mouth, the battle of Shenyang was not expected by everyone, will we not be able to push our father Khan to the fire pit without our eyes?" Do you say that worthy of the heroic spirit of your father Khan? ”

Amin stood aside and didn't say a word, no matter how he stood there at this time, he couldn't get any benefit, so Amin decided to watch from the sidelines and try to persuade as much as possible to avoid causing a bigger dispute. Huang Taiji thought about it from beginning to end with the three of them on his back, and felt that he was in a bit of a hurry. His mind wandered, and he quickly thought of a new way.

Huang Taiji turned his head, held back his anger, and said lightly to the three of them: "Second elder brother, Brother Amin, since it is a joint discussion of politics, I will not say anything about the family, you can also talk about it, how should this matter be handled?" With the loss of more than 2,000 warriors, our Jurchens are only 100,000 when they are full, how can it not be heart-wrenching? Will the great inheritance left by Father Khan be lost in vain to our hands? ”

As he spoke, Huang Taiji's eyes turned red, and his voice was a little choked.

Dai Shan and Amin were shocked, and hurriedly pulled Mang Gurtai and bowed his hand and said: "Great Khan, we are willing to follow the Great Khan and join the great cause." ”

Huang Taiji wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said with red eyes: "When I first ascended the throne of Khan, I swore to discuss national politics with you, and I will abide by this, but the world is difficult, and the Eight Banners military system is in an eventful season, and some measures cannot be changed. ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji did not mention Mang Gurtai, but turned to the Eight Banners military system, everyone was immediately a little curious, and looked at Huang Taiji with doubts on their faces.

"Father Khan created the Eight Banners military system, in order to go out for the soldiers, into the people, peacetime farming, wartime expeditions, after so many years, some new problems have also been exposed, some Eight Banners generals are good at fighting, but not good at farming, fishing and hunting, and not good at organizing business, and good at these people and steal important positions in the Eight Banners Army, resulting in laymen commanding insiders, the result is naturally not good, I think the right people in the right position, is what we have to do next."

Dai Shan, Amin was silent, and Mang Gultai asked fearlessly: "Dare to ask the Great Khan how to change the law?" ”

Huang Taiji's face was indifferent, and he said slowly: "I think this matter is in charge of the second elder brother and Brother Amin, and they will be able to be fair and convincing to everyone." With that, Huang Taiji set his eyes on the two of them.

Dai Shan and Amin hurriedly bowed and said, "Obey the orders of the Great Khan!" ”
