On the night of June 15 in the sixth year of Chongzhen and the seventh year of Tiancong, Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Khan was thinking at night in the study of the Shenyang De Dormitory, and there was a bowl of steaming ** on the bookcase, and several maids hid behind the curtain outside the study, waiting for the call of the master to serve.

The forty-two-year-old Huang Taiji is a little fat, with a square face, and the freshly shaved hair stubble on the top of his head reflects the color of dark green.

In April, the desperate Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming surrendered from Zhenjiang Fort to Houjin, and the letter said: "The commander has tens of thousands of armor soldiers, more than 100 light boats, cannons, and firearms. With this weapon, and the Ming Khan work together, land and water go hand in hand, the momentum is like a bamboo, who in the world dares to be the enemy of Khan? ”

At that time, he heard the ecstasy, laughed a few times, in order to give the Ming Dynasty all the way to ride the wall to watch the sincerity of the gold to buy horse bones, he first sent three belles to set up a banquet to entertain, at the end of May, Kong Youde and so on to Shenyang, he personally led Fan Wencheng, Dun Duohui and others out of the Desheng Gate Shili Hun River to meet, and personally poured wine for Kong Youde with a golden cup, and gave python robes, mink fur, etc., the rest of the generals and officials, all have gold and jade rewards, after two days, and sealed Kong Youde as the marshal of the capital, Geng Zhongming as the chief military officer, give the seal, other orders, advocacy, honor guards as before, Huang Taiji could see that Kong Youde and others were extremely grateful for such courtesy, and today's recital was exactly what Kong Youde was doing.

“…… Ruitu is deeply favored by His Majesty, gold beads and jade, undressing and pushing food, there is virtue tossing and turning every night, often thinking of repaying His Majesty's great kindness, only hating useless places, only diligent training of soldiers and horses, police and military preparation, for His Majesty to drive also, recently said that the Dongjiang River General Soldier Huanglong sent a sailor to chase the thief Yalu River, Lushun is unprepared, there is virtue to think hard for a long time, there is a strategy to be presented, to wait for the other ships are gathered on the north bank, there is virtue from the lead of the navy to hit it, the other navy along the coast, the advance is easy, retreat is difficult, when it can be broken by a drum, the minister dares to ask His Majesty to raise a Biao army horse out of Fuzhou, straight to Lushun, There were also ten red-clothed cannons that broke through the wall, and the battlements had nowhere to stand, and nothing was lost."

"Huanglong is a strict person, the emperor is harsh, and his surname is greedy, Dongjiang is very bitter, Your Majesty ......"

Huang Taiji put down Song Shu when he saw this, and couldn't help but smile slightly, there is no need to look at the back, Kong Youde hated Huanglong to the core, he knew, but Kong Youde's suggestion made him tempted,

Lushun!

In fact, ten years after the Mandate of Heaven, Jin got Lushun, but at that time, Houjin was attacked on all sides, Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang River frequently harassed the rear, both ends of the Korean snake and rat, Lin Dan Khan of Mongolia, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Liaoxi, who were forced to give up Lushun helplessly under the pressure of the Dongjiang River, but now the situation is different.

Since the death of Mao Wenlong, according to the Dongjiang refugees, Dongjiang fell into a situation of struggle for power and internal strife, and was no longer able to take the initiative to attack and harass, although the situation of the Houjin belly and back to the enemy should not be underestimated, but to take Lushun and deter the surrounding area, the current strategic situation immediately changed greatly.

When he said that he greeted Kong Youde and others, he proposed to meet Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others with the highest Jurchen etiquette "hug the ceremony", but I didn't expect the ministers, Baylor was in an uproar, among them, he jumped the highest with Dai Shan, completely ignoring his own embarrassment and Kong Youde's sincere fear, saying that he should not make such a grand and intimate gift with the generals of the Ming Dynasty, just according to the general etiquette of receiving his subordinates, although he tried his best to persuade him, he still succumbed to the opinions of the Baylor, and one person took a step back, Kong Youde finally met the king with the etiquette of the Han dynasty, knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, and then he and Kong Youde and others "hugged and greeted"

"These things without vision"

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but snort coldly.

Did he just take a fancy to the more than 10,000 people brought by Kong Youde? In fact, Dai Shan and these people all know the meaning of Kong Youde's surrender in their hearts, if he sits in his position, I'm afraid he will do the same thing, right? But they just want to jump out and drag themselves back, everyone knows the little Jiujiu in their hearts, but they just want to pretend to be righteous......

Huang Taiji actually still has some envy in his heart for the young man who is sitting in the capital to give orders, without the constraints of the Eight Kings Discussion System, how many big things can he do as he wants?

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji took a sip of ** with a little irritability, stood up and came to the map, stared at the terrain around the Dongjiang River for a long time, and finally set his eyes on Lushun.

On June 19 of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji and Cherge, Fan Wencheng, Kamutu and other people finally made up their minds after discussion, and sent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the military department Beile Yuetuo and Hubu Beiledege, of which there were almost more than 5,000 people in armor, divided into left and right wings, and sent the sailors to flank the Yalu River Shen Shikui Department, Kong Youde took the headquarters of 5,000 men and horses as the lead to take Lushun, at the end of June, the 500 cavalry of the Houjin outpost first arrived at Lushun Hebei, occupied the Golden Mountain and other mountains, and set up artillery to start bombarding the outer city wall of Lushun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang Bo had no idea about this, although he had been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Dongjiang River, but due to the slow transmission of news, the news he often got was something that happened a few days or even a dozen days ago, and Yang Bo was helpless about it.

On 28 June, Yang Bo quietly returned to the Shijiu Institute to inspect the preparations for war......

Since the issuance of a series of orders, the atmosphere in Santun has obviously become tense, the teaching camp is even more busy, and several grievance meetings have been organized, and those refugees who fled from Liaodong took turns to come to the stage to tell the tragic fate of themselves and their families, but the situation of mutual hostility between the Liaodong people and the Dengzhou people in Santun has been greatly improved, and the training camp has successfully transferred the target of hatred to Tatar and Kong Youde, and the big stage is noisy with gongs and drums, and Shi Jinhua's crying and singing every day is out of breath.

On July 3, Yang Bo was discussing with Bi Fangji, Han Yan'er, Xiucai and other absolute henchmen to recruit a group of Langzhong to enrich the medical department in Qingzhou Mansion, and finally received an urgent report from Dengzhou Kuaima, and on June 28, the Tartar brigade of military horses was found in the area of Jin and Fu, and the banner covered the sky and said, the target was Lushun, but the number was unknown.

After reading the letter, Yang Bo was silent for a long time, handed the letter to Bi Fangji, and motioned for him to pass it on to others after reading it, and soon, continuous exclamations sounded in the venue.

The Tartars are finally here......

Yang Bo has been working hard for a year, and what he is waiting for is this time, after a year of hard work, there are only less than 3,000 soldiers in his hands, and nearly half of them have just turned into official soldiers, can he get by? Yang Bo had no bottom in his heart.

In fact, Yang Bo knew that his wisest choice should be to watch the tiger fight across the mountain, sit and watch the Dongjiang people and the Tartars consume each other, hide on the side and develop desperately, and prepare for picking peaches in the future, but he can't do this, he doesn't care how the history books will record himself in the future, he has to be worthy of himself,

That's enough......

After the people in the conference room circulated the emergency report, they all raised their eyes to look at Yang Bo, and everyone was in a different mood.

"Urgent mobilization of the whole army!" A few words popped out of Yang Bo's mouth.

Just as the guards were about to go out to give orders, Tie Niu suddenly rushed in: "Brother, there is a deputy general who claims to be under the account of Huang Long, the commander of the Dongjiang River, who wants to see you?" ”

"What?"

Yang Bo was stunned......

After a while, a man covered in blood stumbled in with the support of his personal guards, and as soon as he saw Yang Bo, he stepped forward and knelt down and cried:

"Lord Yang, Lord Yang, please hurry up and send troops to rescue my family's general soldiers......"

"This lord, please, my lord's position is higher than mine, how can I bear such a great gift?" Yang Bo hurriedly stepped forward to help the lieutenant general, this person's face was covered with blood, and the helmet didn't know where it fell, his dry lips cracked several times, the armor blade on his right shoulder rolled up to both sides, and the flesh and blood on his arm were blurred.

"Come, bring a bowl of water first," Yang Bo asked him to sit down and shouted to the guards.

The man trembled and took it out of his arms for a long time, took out a crumpled letter, and cautiously handed it to Yang Bo: "The little one is Tan Yinghua, the deputy general of the Dongjiang General Army, my Lushun has been surrounded for four days, and the situation is extremely critical, my lord, Lord Yang, please send Jimo to rescue my family, right?" ”

Seeing that Tan Yinghua was about to struggle and kneel down again, Yang Bo was not in a hurry to read the letter, and said, "General Tan got up first, can you tell me more about what happened?" ”

Tan Yinghua shook off the guards who were supporting him, and said loudly to Yang Bo: "The letter from the Lord to Lord Huang once said that if Lushun is in danger, he can send someone across the sea to ask the Lord for help, and said that the Jimo Camp will arrive within two days. ”

Yang Bo nodded and picked up Huang Long's letter and said: "With Lord Huang's handwritten letter, there will be no obstacle to Jimo Ying's rescue of Lushun, if you drag back and forth and delay the rescue opportunity, don't blame me Yang someone."

Tan Yinghua didn't dare to say something tentative, the situation of Lushun was told as it was, it turned out that on the 28th, the Houjin vanguard arrived under the city of Lushun, they first occupied the mountain, shelled the city wall, and bombarded it for two days in a row, Huanglong organized officers and soldiers to go out of the city to counterattack, and wanted to knock out the Hongyi cannon with the greatest threat on the mountain, but the disparity in strength was huge, and they counterattacked three times in a row, but they were forced back by the Houjin army, Huanglong had few soldiers, and did not dare to divide the troops again, so he could only endure the artillery bombardment.

On the first day of July, the Houjin rear army arrived one after another and began to attack the city with all their might, the Houjin soldiers set up cloud ladders and swarmed up, while the Ming army defending the city threw fire pots and shot arrows and stones to deal with the Houjin soldiers who attacked the city. The two sides fought from day to night, and in one day of fierce fighting, Huanglong broke nearly half a horse.

Seeing the fierce Houjin offensive, Huang Long knew that Lushun was in danger, but Kong Youde's sailor entangled Shen Shikui on Phi Island, Shang Kexi had just returned to Guanglu Island, even if he asked them for help, Lushun would not be able to hold on to that time, the Guanning military horses on the other side had withdrawn, and there were no soldiers after the Dengzhou rebellion, thinking about it, Huang Long suddenly remembered that the commander of the Jimo battalion who wrote him two letters inexplicably.

Holding the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Huang Long wrote a letter to Yang Bo and said to the general Tan Yinghua: "The enemy is outnumbered, the Tartar artillery is fierce, I am afraid that Lushun will be broken within two days, and we will be soldiers to eat food, and now we can only sacrifice this body to do our duty for the country, I am afraid that there are still 5,000 men, women and children in Lushun, and the city will not be spared after the city is broken, you take a letter from me and hurry to the Jimo camp for help, I will hold on here to look forward to ......it."

Yang Bo nodded and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the Tartars?" ”

Tan Yinghua didn't dare to deceive, and said honestly: "More than fifteen thousand." ”

Yang Bo turned his head to Bi Fangji and said, "Priest, you take him to the Doctor Department to treat the wound."

Tan Yinghua took two steps, suddenly turned around and knelt down, walked to Yang Bo's side and hugged his leg and cried: "If Lord Yang refuses to save him, then General Huang will be on vacation, and Lushun will be on vacation!" ”

Yang Bo ignored Tan Yinghua and said to Tie Niu: "Order! All the Jimo camps, eat at the time of the unitary, get on the boat at the end of the day, and I will arrive in Lushun at noon at the latest! ”
