471 Bad news
(Who could have guessed what would happen to Amin?) )
This kind of food is simply unthinkable in other troops. God is pitiful, except for the other guards in the Ming Dynasty, except for the occasional meat star in Beijing, other guards, especially the local guards, after the military salary was exploited by officials at all levels, it was implemented at the grassroots level, and there was not even a little oil in the meal.
Wu Yijun does not have this situation, although the scale of hundreds of thousands of troops is not small, but they are all under Lian Zining's nose, and the officers at all levels do something, and Lian Zining is clear - don't forget, MI6 is not a vegetarian.
Now there is no doubt that the Wu Yi Army is the best treated army among the various sequences of the Ming Dynasty, and with it comes strong combat effectiveness. Under Lian Zining's tutelage, Wu Yijun's individual combat effectiveness and execution on the battlefield have made several great jumps, coupled with all kinds of advanced weapons, with the current strength of Wu Yijun, the most elite management of the Ming Dynasty on the opposite side, a thousand people can fight two thousand, and in the face of the border army, a thousand people can fight two thousand five, and if it is in the face of those weak inland guards, it is not difficult to fight four enemies with one enemy.
The larger the scale, the greater the advantage of Wu Yijun.
Xiong Tingbi glanced at the soldiers on the city wall who were eating heavily, and the food was very sweet, and his eyes turned down again, where he was, the city was unobstructed, and in the military camp around the big school field in the distance, there were already bursts of cooking smoke. On the colonel's field, 150,000 recruits formed a huge phalanx, such a large army. It looks like it's suffocating.
The training period of these recruits has been shortened, and the training intensity has increased a lot, but this batch of recruits is not bad in quality, and they are all from peasant households, and they are very obedient to discipline, so they have been able to survive hard. Months of training. They already have some shadows of veterans of the Wu Yi Army, and all their combat skills are almost proficient, and they lack them. It's just a few real tough battles! At this time, they had finished the day's phalanx drill and walked in a neat pace. Hundreds of households stood in a row and walked towards their respective camps.
Inside, there is endless hot water and endless meals.
Xiong Tingbi's vision was a little farther away, he saw the huge giant city that was more than a hundred miles around, and saw the countless fields outside the city that stretched to the horizon.
Xiong Tingbi's thoughts couldn't help but think of the beginning, two years ago now, he was a bandit in the white-robed army, and it was only two years since he joined the Wu Yi Army, but it was already like a world away.
Unconsciously. This small team of only a thousand people back then has grown into a behemoth under the control of adults!
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and the voice of the pro-soldier came: "My lord, it's time to eat." Is it here or ......"
"Right here!" Xiong Tingbi nodded, and did not enter the city tower, but sat down on the ground, and the pro-soldier put down the painted food box, opened it, and a strong aroma came to his face.
There is a bowl in the food box. Two plates, the bowl is full of a large bowl of braised pork, with three layers of meat flowers, the selection is the best skin with five flowers, the quality of the work is also excellent, the color is extremely attractive crimson, rich and viscous, the soup is only a little bit, all become black, the oil shines, on top of the meat, there is also a layer of green onion rings. The red and white doves complement each other, and the characteristics of "thick oil red sauce" are fully revealed.
Xiong Tingbi was also hungry, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and put a large piece in his mouth to chew carefully, the lean meat was hard but not firewood, the fat meat was fat but not greasy, and the entrance was soft and melting, but the taste was excellent.
He tasted it for a while, and then swallowed it unsatisfactorily, and praised: "It's a lot stronger than before, and the master has changed in the kitchen?" Or is the master's craft improving? ”…,
The soldier smiled and said, "So that your lord will know that the kitchen has not changed the master, and your meal is cooked by Lord Ma Elephant himself." ”
"Horse elephants? How did he get here? Xiong Tingbi said strangely.
The soldier said: "It was ordered by the lady herself, and all the meals of the commanders and envoys who stayed in the city tonight were made by Lord Ma himself." ”
When he said this, his face unconsciously showed a look of respect and admiration.
"Madame let you come?" Xiong Tingbi showed a smile on his face, and secretly said in his heart, not only is the adult a hero, but even the extremely lady in the family is not simple, when he was in Shandong, the two Kang Lady handled government affairs easily, needless to say, this Amber Lady is also very knowledgeable.
Then look at the two plates next to it, one is a fat lobster that is eight inches long, the lobster has been pinched and peeled, it should be fried, the whole has been curled up into a ball, and pepper and other seasonings are placed next to a shrimp ball.
The pro-soldier was very eye-catching, and without waiting for Xiong Tingbi to ask, he said: "These lobsters were also brought by Master Ma from the mansion, and they were given by Mrs. Mada, but we don't have such good things." ”
He pointed to another plate, but in this plate was a whole piece of meat, about five or six inches in diameter, irregular oval, five points thick, with a hollow cavity in the middle, and the snow-white tender meat had been fried to golden brown, and the oil was bubbling outward, and the soldiers said: "This is the meat of a sea fish, what is it called?" The subordinates can't remember clearly. ”
He scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Xiong Tingbi smiled slightly: "I don't know what it's called, but I often eat it when I am in Shandong, and it is the first time I come to the Northeast." ”
He showed a slight hint of remembrance, and then it disappeared in a flash, and ordered his soldiers: "Go and see, what are the soldiers eating today?" ”
The soldiers responded, walked around and came back and said, "If you go back to your lordship, you will eat braised pork today, one bowl per person...... It's about the size of your bowl......"
Xiong Tingbi nodded, but this result did not surprise him, in the Wu Yi army, the food gap between the soldiers and the generals is not large, but it is just more dishes and fewer dishes. He waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated to the side, but Xiong Tingbi stood up, half leaned on the city plate, and picked up the shrimp balls. You took a bite.
The secret letter sent by Lian Zining had arrived at Zhenyuan Mansion three days ago, and the messenger still took advantage of the night to come from the Asu River, and Xiong Tingbi had been instructed by Lian Zining to send people there every day to keep an eye on it, and as soon as the messenger came, he was connected to the city in less than a moment. The secret letter was in Xiong Tingbi's hands.
The fiery red seal on it is impossible to forge it.
Xiong Tingbi read the secret letter, and after receiving Lian Zining's instructions, his heart was settled. In the letter, Lian Zining ordered that if it was discovered that there was a movement between the Jurchens and the Mongol army. The Mongol army did not care, and immediately followed the Jurchens all the way north. In the process of following, you must not rush forward, and you must not take the initiative to engage in battle, but you must bite tightly.
As for the rest, it's up to the moment.
So now Xiong Tingbi has given an order, all the remaining guards are fully armed and ready to attack at any time. And he himself observed from the city walls every day.
But looking at this, it is clear that the Mongols and the Jurchens have not yet received news.
Looking at the coalition camp in the distance, a grim smile crossed the corner of his mouth, just waiting for the Jurchen army to return north. It's their time of death!
Zhenyuan Mansion Outer Mongolia Camp.
In the midst of the handsome account, Ha Bu and Amin were standing in front of a huge map, discussing something in a whisper.
While deliberating, they also reached out to draw dots on the paper, and from time to time a fierce quarrel broke out. …,
If Lian Zining is here, he will definitely be very familiar. Because of what is drawn on this map. It is a topographic map of the surrounding area of Zhenyuan Mansion, and it has been done very accurately.
These days, the Jurchens and Mongol rangers are not only harassing and surveillance, they are also tasked with observing the terrain, and countless messages are gathered every moment of the day, plus the terrain around Zhenyuan Mansion is not complicated, so it took this period of time for the Jurchen and Mongol coalition forces to draw this map.
And now Amin and Ha Bu are discussing how to deal with it once Wu Yijun sends troops, where to set up an ambush and so on. Ever since the map was drawn, this kind of discussion has been going on almost every day.
Amin stretched out his hand and scratched a small mound about ten miles southwest of the west gate of Zhenyuan Mansion, and said, "Ha no Great Khan, in my opinion, the remaining 10,000 cavalry of our Jurchens cannot be all ambushed here. Although it is possible to help the horse by rushing down a gentle slope, it is also very easy to spot, so it is better to do it here. ”
He pointed his finger on the upper side not far away, and said, "There is a forest here, there is a river on the side, the water is not small, the forest area is quite large, and it is not far from here. I mean, six cents out of 10,000 cavalry were set aside to lie in ambush behind the woods, and once Wu Yi's army was exhausted, they immediately rushed out from behind, and the distance between the two was only a few hundred steps, and it was only a few hundred paces away, and it was only a few hundred steps away. ”
Ha couldn't sneer: "You have transferred so many cavalry, do you want to let our Mongolian warriors go to fight alone?" ”
Amin smiled slightly: "The Great Khan misunderstood, I didn't mean that, look here." ”
His hand was again around the river outside the woods, and said: "This river flows through the woods, and no one can see the situation inside, we can block the river in the woods as a dam to make the water level rise, and when the time comes, once Wu Yijun enters this place, immediately dig the embankment." At that time, before the Wu Yi army fought with the Fuyuwei army, it had already fallen into a water country and Zeguo, how could it fight? When the time comes, we will be able to shoot arrows calmly outside and take their lives one by one! ”
He kept chattering on the map, and finally nodded and agreed with Amin's statement.
The two discussed for a full time before they stopped, and it seemed that there was a result.
I breathed a sigh of relief, strode to the back of the small few and sat down, took a cup of tea that had been cold, and drank it all, and said: "After finishing this today, it is already a rough outline, and in the next few days, it will be good to improve one or two, I estimate that if Wu Yijun wants to go out of the city, it will be only a few days." ”
Amin's eyes stared directly at the map, but the focus was suddenly not fixed on it, very sloppy, he suddenly asked faintly: "Ha no sweat, you say, what if Wu Yijun does not go out of the city?" ”
"Wu Yijun doesn't go out of the city? How can it be? He stood up, strode to the door of the tent, opened the curtain and pointed to the large crops in the distance and said: "Amin, what are you called, yes, in the words of the Yonghan people, it is unfounded!" These millions of acres of cropland will be replaced by you. Can you put it down? ”
He laughed and said, "If those Wu Yi troops don't go out of the city, it would be better, let's just collect these corn and then withdraw the troops!" These grains are enough for me to eat for a few years, and without these grains, Wu Yijun will have to go hungry and have no food to eat. When the time comes, we don't need to fight, they will be in an uproar! ”
Amin also felt that his worries were unnecessary, yes. No one else can sit idly by and watch these crops be plundered!
But there are always some inexplicable worries in my heart, and I can't get around. These days, because of this hidden danger in his heart, he always can't laugh. And the resolute general is still in a coma, which also puts Amin under too much pressure, so that his body has lost weight quickly, and he looks a little stubborn. …,
It was only then that he realized the difficulties of being the commander of the First Army.
Amin shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake out this ridiculous idea.
He was about to speak, when suddenly the voice of the Great Khan's guards came from outside: "Great Khan, Lord Amin's guards ask to see you." ”
Amin stood up suddenly. He had always known that his guards were very measured, and there must be something very important to ask for an audience at such a critical moment.
Ha Bu was also a little surprised, but he didn't say much, just said, "Let them in." ”
Less. Amin's personal captain walked in in stride, his face was full of panic, and he walked towards Amin quickly, but he didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet, and he almost fell into a. Seeing his expression, Amin's heart suddenly sank.
Wait until the captain of the pro-soldier walks up to Amin. After whispering a few words in his ear, Amin's face was already white!
His eyes were unfocused, staring at the void in front of him for a few minutes before he came back to his senses, knowing that he was also very human after all, he quickly calmed down, he took a deep breath, only felt that his brain was in chaos, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.
The people who escaped from the Jurchen hinterland in Haixi brought news that Wu Yi's army actually attacked the Jurchen hinterland, from east to west, and the Jurchen hinterland was swept away, and even Yehe City was captured!
God! How did Wu Yijun go to the Jurchen hinterland, hundreds of miles away? Even Yehe City was knocked down? What about the people of the city? What about the officials? What about the soldiers? Also, what about my loved ones?
Amin only felt as if there were thousands of bees flying around in his head, his mind was full of buzzing sounds, and his thoughts were chaotic.
He didn't know how he got out of the tent, but he remembered that he seemed to leave with Ha Bu and bowed his hands, and he didn't care what Ha Bu said.
Walking out of the camp tent, blown by the cool evening breeze, Amin struck a fierce spirit, and his whole body was cold, only to find that he had already broken out in a cold sweat!
There was finally a scene in his eyes, he raised his head, looked at Zhenyuan Mansion from afar, looked at the place that had become a huge black shadow under the sunset, and a thick throbbing rose in his heart.
His thoughts immediately cleared, and countless thoughts flashed through his heart in an instant. Said secretly, no wonder, no wonder he was so calm and kept moving! It turned out that Wu Yijun actually had this killing move! Sneak attack on the Jurchen hinterland and beat the Haixi Jurchens into an uproar, so what's next?
With Amin's ability, he immediately thought of what was waiting for him next - the fall of the Haixi Jurchen, he was already rootless duckweed, and there was only one place to go, which was to take the army to join the Great Khan Wanyan Chen monk, and Lian Zining must have been waiting for him on the road ahead.
And the army in the city must be ready to go out!
Thinking of this layer, Amin suddenly felt cold in his heart, like falling into the abyss.
This Lian Zining is really calculating, step by step, he actually forced himself to die!
Amin took a long breath, facing Zhenyuan Mansion, the corners of his mouth outlined a rebellious arc, and smiled coldly: "Let's see!" Lian Zining, let's see, can you leave me behind! ”
He turned his head and calmly said to the captain of the guard: "Where are those people?" How many people know about this? ”
Amin's calmness also affected the people around him, and the captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, and said: "They were discovered by our people who went out of the camp to patrol, and after I went, I interrogated them, and then ordered someone to take them to your big tent, except for us, no one knows." ”
"Well, you're doing a great job!" Amin nodded and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go back to the camp first." ”…,
Standing at the door of the tent, looking at Amin and his party in the distance, a thick doubt flashed in his eyes.
> but Ren would never have imagined that such a thing would happen in the Jurchen hinterland.
Amin led the people to hurry back to the Chinese army's camp, as the current supreme commander of the Jurchens, his camp is naturally in the Chinese army. After getting off the horse, he strode into his tent, and saw five or six ragged Jurchens standing there tremblingly, and when they saw Amin coming in, they knew that they were great officials when they saw them dressed, and they immediately fell to their knees, and before they could speak, they began to cry one after another.
Amin couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't cry, say slowly, speak slowly!" ”
After everyone finished talking, Amin finally understood what was going on in the Jurchen hinterland most intuitively, and also confirmed his own speculation.
If Lian Zining had a heart, these people would never have been able to come here, but now they are here.
This shows that Lian Zining is in front, waiting for him.
He pondered for a moment, glanced at these people in the tent, beckoned the captain of the personal soldiers, and said with a face as heavy as water: "Look at this tent, no one is allowed to enter or leave." In addition, go and send an order to all the armies and ten thousand households, and the deputy ten thousand households, just say that the general has woken up, gather everyone, and have something to say. ”
The captain of the pro-soldier was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "Yes, my lord!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
