In Nalan Jiancheng's opinion, if he can take down the camp of the Wu Yi Army, he will naturally have the upper hand, and it is possible to defeat the Wu Yi Army in one fell swoop. Even if this plan fails, it is necessary to annihilate the attacking Wuyi Army, and not leave a single one to return to the camp, it will be a brilliant victory, and it is also the capital to ask the Khan Court for merit, officials, and rewards!

It's a good wishful thinking.

Although the reason why Nalan Jiancheng formulated this plan was because he concluded that Lian Zining had colluded with the Russians, and that an agreement had already been made, and there would be action in the near future, so he decided on this plan, and he completely misexpected Lian Zining's intention to send a thousand-man cavalry, but he really guessed one thing correctly - Lian Zining did make an agreement with the Russians, and he was indeed ready to make a move. So his arrangement can be said to be murderous.

If Nalan Jiancheng was in charge of the army, Lian Zining's attack last night, due to Wu Yijun's excellent tactical literacy, although it would not be directly defeated or completely annihilated as Nalan Jiancheng thought, but it would definitely not be beneficial. At least, this military operation of Wu Yijun can be regarded as a failure.

It's a pity that Nalan Jiancheng never expected that the plan had been fully formulated and was only waiting to be implemented, but suddenly an edict came, and he went directly from a commander to a prisoner.

That vicious and complete plan was already dead before it was released.

And then again, the reason why he fell into such a situation was also because of Lian Zining's conspiracy, if he didn't take office, Lian Zining would not have sent troops to attack.

As for the paper pact with the Russians. In Lian Zining's view, it's just a fig leaf for a bitch, use it when you want it, and kick it away when you don't want it.

This time, the confrontation between Nalan Jiancheng and Lian Zining can be said to be a defeat both from the tactical level and the strategic level. And the saddest thing is that he himself is completely unaware of it. At this time, Lord Nalan, who had already left his post, was wrapped in a shabby sheepskin jacket and depressed, thinking about how to defend himself to the Great Khan after returning to Beijing.

Yesterday's battle. Of the 40,000 Jurchen army, more than 20,000 were killed alone. And the rest, most of them are injured, ranging in severity. After these soldiers were divided and surrounded, they saw that there was no hope, and if they continued to fight, they were waiting for death, and they were still preparing to fight to the death under the instigation of the generals, but they didn't expect that after fighting for a while, the news came that the marshal had surrendered after Yan Wushu, and when he heard this, he no longer had the heart. They surrendered one after another.

After surrendering, he was taken care of on the spot, and Wu Yijun did not dare to make any moves, for fear that something would go wrong, so he just waited for dawn.

These Jurchens. In his true heart, he may not be fighting to the death, but he doesn't dare to surrender if he doesn't surrender, and as soon as Wanyan Wushu surrendered, they immediately surrendered, but they all sprinkled their anger and resentment on Wanyan Wushu's head, and many people scolded behind their backs. However, the voice did not dare to be amplified, those Wu Yijun who guarded them were not good at stubble, as soon as they heard the movement, they immediately came over and punched and kicked.

As soon as the sky showed a little light, Lian Zining took Shi Dazhu, Ye Nai and others and came to the battlefield along the boardwalk.

Seeing their entourage, both officers and soldiers knelt down to greet them.

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 tenth guard were divided in half, and each person was one or two and a half cents. The commander has another reward."

When the news of the reward spread, everyone was thunderous, and in this era, three taels of silver is an out-and-out huge amount of money!

Especially the Jurchen slave soldiers of the tenth guard, they were stunned when they heard the news, and then they were full of excitement and gratitude, they never thought that they would have a day to get a reward, they really had mixed feelings, but they also felt in their hearts that the adults were so kind, and they really did not follow this Wu Yijun in vain. …,

Many of the female real slave soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted the kindness of the adults, which made the captives who were also Jurchens full of feelings, and wanted to scold, but they didn't dare.

Wang Dachun followed Lian Zining's side, and when he heard this, his face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd, and while everyone was not paying attention, he quietly stepped up, lowered his voice and said: "My lord, even if we have a lot of money, we still have a lot of money, but it is not such a flower!" ”

"Haha, Lao Wang, you, little family!" When Lian Zining heard this, he nodded at Wang Dachun and scolded with a smile.

A while ago, I bought corn, and I earned six or seven million in income, which can be said to be Wu Yijun's pocket, and it bulged up all of a sudden, and even because of the arrival of this batch of money, Lian Zining always transported the mountain treasures and wild goods and other things in the northeast to Jingshi and handed them over to Cheng Yu to sell, but she did not want her to transport the silver to the northeast, but stayed in the Lian chaebol to expand the use of business.

But to be honest, the expenses these days are also a lot, the formation of ten new guards, those weapons, equipment, armor, fat jackets, clothing, grain and grass, and even the tents used for marching and fighting, carts, shovels, iron hammers, iron nails, kitchen knives and other messy things, you know, marching and fighting, fighting on the battlefield, it is not a matter of a group of people, a few knives, it is a very complex body type. Fortunately, Wu Yijun has now formed such a perfect system, and there is no shortage of anything.

But correspondingly, the expenses also went up, ten new guards, close to 70,000 troops, and the total expenses were close to one million taels of silver.

And the next expedition to the north cost countless people, and fighting a war has always been a money-burning business-of course, burning money may not be able to win.

And we have to resettle the 300,000 refugees who have already arrived, and we have to resettle the million refugees who are about to come.

Lao Wang is careful in his calculations, which naturally makes sense.

Lian Zining patted Wang Dachun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, you can relax and tell you that it won't be long before we will have another entry." Just wait! ”

After that, it is to move forward. Wang Dachun was stunned: "Entry? What's in it? ”

Shaoqing, hearing the news of Lian Zining's arrival, Xiong Tingbi hurried over, although he is still just a commander, but his prestige is also high, and his combat exploits are even more impressive, Wu Yijun is already the second person in the Wu Yi Army who is only taking a bath in Lian Zining. Therefore, he was also very busy, and he was busy directing everyone to put out the fire and clean up the camp just now. The prisoners had not rested at this time, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

I met Lian Zining. Ignoring the dirty mud on the ground, he knelt down and saluted: "I've seen an adult under the mark." ”

Lian Zining took two steps forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Tingbi, it's really hard for you." ”

"How dare you say that you are working hard for an adult?" Xiong Tingbi said respectfully: "Come here and ask your lordship, we fought for a day last night, and the casualties on both sides have been counted." ”

Lian Zining waved his hand, and he said it.

"We lost 1,437 brothers killed in the battle, more than 3,000 wounded, and 19,300 Jurchen killed in battle. All but 2,000 escaped, and all the rest were captured. Subordinates, how to deal with it. ”

"Brothers killed in battle." Lian Zining took a deep breath, turned back to Shi Dazhu and said, "We already have a rule, brothers who died in battle. It is to deal with it according to the specifications of the past, not to be lazy, and the seriously injured brother is also in general, and asks where to go. For all minor injuries, the reward will be doubled. Hurry up and heal. You and Wang Dachun will do this together. ”

The two hurried to be.

Lian Zining glanced at Xiong Tingbi, but he knew that for the soldiers and seriously injured soldiers who died in battle, there were already rules in the Wu Yi army, in fact, Xiong Tingbi could have made the decision without asking for instructions, but his caution made Lian Zining very comfortable. …,

"Those corpses, burn them, this winter is frozen hard, and the summer melts, and it is inevitable that there will be a plague. As for these captive Jurchen soldiers. Lian Zining pondered for a moment, he wanted to say that he would send them to the tenth guard, but thinking about it, it was not appropriate, the soldiers of the tenth guard were from civilian backgrounds before, and there were almost no soldiers, so it was better to control them, and they were all tamed at this time.

But these newly captured Jurchens are unruly and unruly, and if they are put in the tenth guard, maybe they will be the core and form a resistance group one by one.

He thought for a moment and ordered, "Call Wang Ji." ”

A guard answered, and after a while, Wang Ji hurriedly followed him, saluted, and said, "What do you have to tell your lordship to find the mark?" ”

Lian Zining said with a warm smile: "Wang Ji, the credit of your department yesterday is remembered by this official, and he will definitely not forget it." ”

Wang Ji was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said humbly: "How dare you dare to worry about the merits of the small end?" ”

Wang Ji's eighth guard and Dong Hanchen's ninth guard paved the way for the army yesterday, which can be said to have made great contributions, if it were not for them, yesterday's raid would have been just a vain talk, and it would not be an exaggeration to say this to Lian Zining.

"Hey, you deserve it, why don't you deserve it?" Lian Zining smiled slightly and said, "Now, this official still has an errand for you." ”

"Your Excellency, please command."

Lian Zining pointed to the piles of Jurchen soldiers who were being guarded, and said: "These people are unruly, take them to the camp for the time being, and then send one to escort them back to Zhenyuan Mansion, this official is with you." How? ”

Naturally, no one wants to do such an errand.

Seeing that the Jurchens in front of him had been swept away, the next thing was Pingchuan, and the army was directed at the Jurchen Khan's court, and it was just around the corner to level the Jurchens. At this juncture, he was suddenly sent to perform another task, and the great credit was all wasted, which must have made the heart unhappy. Lian Zining also knows that it is not easy to do this, it is a direct and tough order to manage his subordinates, and he can't blindly force it.

But he didn't expect Wang Ji to be also a thoughtful person, but he thought that his eighth guard was ranked at the bottom of the Wu Yi army, and even if he followed, he might not be able to get a fight, and if he went back at this time, it would be better for the adults to remember him, but it would be better than running along.

Therefore, he simply agreed, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the task!" ”

This attitude made Lian Zining a little impressed with him.

Lian Zining snorted and said, "When I go back later, the official will personally write a letter, and you give the letter to Lord Hong Chao, and he will arrange these Jurchens." ”

Lian Zining's idea was to disperse these Jurchens into small strands, and throw some of them into his own grange - at this time, Su Li's subordinates were short of people, and the other part. It is to give them the fields, and scatter them to the vast countryside south of the Songhua River, so that they can live together with the Han people, with the strong inclusiveness of the Han nation, let alone three generations, I am afraid that after a few years, they will forget that they are a Jurchen.

Wang Ji hurried to be. I retired and went down to do business.

The soldiers were given orders, some of them to escort the captives back to the city, and others to stay. Dragging the corpse, he walked not far away, where a clearing had been cleared. There were high stacks of firewood on top, and there were already a lot of corpses on top of it. The number of corpses was still growing, and some of the soldiers stood by the pile, torches in hand, and their faces were ugly.

These corpses are naturally the corpses of the Jurchens, and the soldiers killed by Wu Yijun have long been reined in, wrapped in reed mats, and packed in simple coffins - Lian Zining will never allow his brothers to bury their bones in the wilderness. These thin pavilions were only stored temporarily, and when the eighth guard returned, they would be transported back together, and then packed into a coffin made of fine thick wood in the Zhenyuan Mansion. Buried together. Lian Zining will take all the soldiers of the Wuyi Army and see them off together! …,

After turning around, it was already sunday, it was time for lunch, and the soldiers had almost cleaned the battlefield, and there were few people on the battlefield.

A huge pile of corpses was piled up in the distance. It is more than ten meters high, and the area is very vast, and it looks like it is panicked from a distance.

The soldiers poured fire oil on the pile, threw tattered tents and other bits and pieces, and then threw the fire on the pile.

When the oil rubbed against the spark, it immediately burned violently, and in a short time, it all spread out, and in a few moments, the oil in those corpses burned out, and it became combustible.

The more it burned, the more prominent it became, and finally it became a huge torch, and a disgusting smell of burning began to fill the air.

Ye Nai didn't know where to take out a small fan, it was a very exquisite Fuso specialty, and a large number of paper fans were exported to the Ming Dynasty in this era, and they were busy fanning the wind in front of Lian Zining's nose.

Lian Zining smiled slightly: "Go back, we should also take a look at the prime minister." ”

After Yan Wushu surrendered last night, Du Xinwu was like a treasure, and hurriedly sent him to Lian Zining, but he didn't expect that Lian Zining didn't see him at all, so he directly ordered him to be escorted to a camp tent to watch and detain, and he was offered with good food and drink, but he just didn't meet.

This is Lian Zining's usual trick, and he treated Xiong Tingbi like this after capturing him. The captive's mentality is very delicate, the longer you drag it on, the more worried he is in his heart, when Lian Zining captured Xiong Tingbi, he didn't see him for a few days, Xiong Tingbi was going crazy. This Yan Wushu is even more unbearable, I don't think about tea and dinner, I shout vigorously to see Lian Zining, and when I came out this morning, I heard that my voice was hoarse.

I'm afraid I can't take it anymore.

After Lian Zining and the others returned to the camp, they saw that the soldiers looked quite relaxed, after the battle, many people fought for a whole night, they were extremely tired, almost fainted, after coming back at this time, except for those who had errands and needed to stand guard on duty, most of them were sleeping in the camp tent, but the camp was very quiet, and there were few people on the road. Those who are particular about it stand by the snowdrift in front of their tent, wearing only a pair of shorts with their noses and calves, and they stand there, with snow in their hands, and rubbing their bodies.

Although it was icy and snowy, extremely cold, and the snow was even colder, they were not afraid at all, and their strong muscles were steaming hot, and they exclaimed with joy.

Smoke billows from the kitchen in the backroom, and the cooks who accompany the army prepare lunch and wait for the soldiers to wake up before eating. The most lively place is the infirmary under the logistics department, many wounded soldiers were carried in on stretchers, a strong smell of wine came out of the courtyard, that is the medical soldiers are using spirits to kill the wounded soldiers, the smell of liquor is also mixed with a burst of crying dad and shouting mother's miserable howl, the infirmary has temporarily built a lot of wooden board rooms, and the hot kang is burned below to ensure the temperature inside, otherwise, it is really impossible to take so many wounded, Rao is so, There were also many lightly injured people who limped to their tents with the help of the robes of the same team.

After Yan Wushu was imprisoned in a small tent near Lian Zining's mansion, although he didn't seem to value it, in fact, Lian Zining was still very tight, and the soldiers on the third floor and the outer three layers were guarding him, and when he saw Lian Zining coming over, a group of people knelt down and saluted: "I've seen my lord!" ”

"Get up!" Lian Zining waved his hand, turned back to Ye Nai and said, "Wait for me here now." ”

Lian Zining opened the door curtain and walked in, the furnishings in the tent were very simple, just a bed, a small few futons, and the small table was full of chickens, ducks and fish, which was very hearty, and there was even a pot of wine. It's just that the wine and food have not moved at all, and a man in his fifties is sitting in the back, wearing a luxurious brocade robe, and at a glance he knows that it is not an ordinary identity, but a complete face vulture. …,

He drooped his head and seemed to be napping, but as soon as he heard the movement at the door, he immediately straightened his waist, perhaps because he hadn't slept all night, a pair of eyes were red and red, like an old rabbit, the corners of his eyes were covered with eye feces, and he suddenly jumped up, which startled Lian Zining, but he didn't see that the old man was quite energetic.

He shouted at Lian Zining in jerky Chinese: "Go and call your Uncle Wu Yi to see me!" ”

Lian Zining glanced at him up and down, smiled faintly, walked to the edge of the kang and sat down: "I'm Lian Zining, do you want to see me?" ”

"You are Lian Zining?" Wanyan Wushu's eyes immediately straightened, and those eyes were like a brush for Mongolian herdsmen roasting whole sheep, brushing Lian Zining over and over again, as if to confirm the truth of these words.

Suddenly, he pounced forward, lying in front of Lian Zining in a five-body posture, hugging Lian Zining's legs, and howling wolf: "Uncle, uncle, you are finally willing to come, small investment, sincere investment!" ”

Lian Zining startled him again, thinking that this old boy was pretending to be a grandson before, and he wanted to stab him now, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the three-foot Qingfeng on his waist.

When he heard what was going on, he suddenly laughed, his hand was released, and he kicked Wanyan Wushu away, and said with a smile: "What, you want to serve me?" ”

Wanyan Wushu kicked it away, and immediately pounced again, crying with snot and tears on his face, I am afraid that they were all wiped on Lian Zining's dark blue bottoms.

When encountering such a scoundrel, Lian Zining was also a little helpless, so he had to say: "Get up and speak, get up and speak!" ”

Motionless.

Lian Zining kicked it down and shouted, "Silence! ”

After finishing Yan Wushu, he suddenly got up, stood honestly in front of Lian Zining, and wiped his tears with a sob.

Lian Zining really lost his temper, so he had to say: "Say it!" How do you serve the officer? I don't want waste here. ”

Wanyan Wushu glanced at Lian Zining with a sneaky look, a cunning light appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly knelt on the ground again: "My lord, the little one has gone through the eunuch journey in the Dajin Kingdom, and he has been an official of all sizes, and he has been a shy prime minister in the past few years, and he can handle big and small affairs for the adult!" ”

"This old man's heart is quite big!" Lian Zining smiled faintly: "There is no shortage of prime ministers here. ”

Wanyan Wushu smiled and continued: "The little one knows the Jurchen domestic situation, the distribution of forces, the documents and classics, the upper and lower tribes, and the large and small rivers and mountains! Adults march to war, and small ones are always needed! ”

But he put his attitude very low.

He is an extremely wise person, knowing that he is now a prisoner, if he annoys Lian Zining, wouldn't he be whining and mourning? And although he is not very good at leading his troops to fight, his vision is indeed extremely vicious, and he can see at a glance that in the current situation, these troops under his command have been defeated by Lian Zining, and now the Wu Yi army can drive straight into the army, and directly take the Jurchen Khan's court!

When the time comes, the army of Yan Yeping is hanging alone, what kind of wind and waves can it turn over?

If it doesn't work now, when will it wait?

Lian Zining smiled coldly: "Your big golden kingdom is almost gone, what's the use of asking for these?" ”

Wanyan Wushu trembled, and his voice was several degrees lower: "The little one is familiar with the distribution of the wild Jurchens and other tribes in the Dajin Kingdom, if the adults destroy the Dajin Kingdom, oh no, after the Jurchens, they will definitely take these tribes into their pockets, and I am afraid that they will be able to use the villains at that time." ”

"Hmm." Lian Zining nodded; "Go on." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
