Chapter 283: Ming State Strategy
With a loud bang, the first cannon fired, raising a large cloud of dust four miles away, but the target's sandbag was not hit, and a little later, just over the overhead. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tong Yangxing, who was accompanying Huang Taiji, was sweating profusely, Nima, it was too a slap in the face, such a big sand platform couldn't hit, what use do you want, "Your Majesty is guilty, you failed to hit with one shot, I hope the king will punish you." "Tong is a loyal slave, although he is old and frail, he still bows down very neatly, and hurriedly asks for sin.
"Okay, there's not so much etiquette, when the cannon has too much accuracy. Let's read on. "Huang Taiji knows that these minions want to have a good start and have a good time, but not to mention the target of this cannon, what he cares about is not the target, but the power range, the range is still good, but you have to see the power.
When the third artillery hit Shatai, there were bursts of cheers all around, and it was finally hit, otherwise Tong Yang and Ding Qiming would not have spared these gunners afterwards.
Tong Yangxing and Ding Qiming, who supervised the battle in front of the cannon, both breathed a sigh of relief.
After more than ten cannons, four cannons hit the sand platform, at this time the artillery stopped, and the temperature had to be lowered, otherwise there was a risk of exploding, in fact, a few more cannons, this is not the king here, safety first.
Huang Taiji came to the sand platform with great interest surrounded by everyone, only to see the piled up sandbags being hit and scattered everywhere, the sandbags were broken, and the yellow sand was splashed everywhere.
"Tong Yang, Ding Qiming, what is the weight of this cannon." Huang Taiji asked with a smile, in a very good mood.
"King Bing, this cannon weighs more than 4,000 catties and can be shelled for five or six miles, and it is very powerful." Tong Yang hurriedly returned.
"Well, that's good. Powerful good. Although it is slightly inferior to the big gun of the Furlong machine. It's also worth fighting. Cast thirty of these cannons. You must wait until next spring to complete the work, and do not delay. "Huang Taiji Dao.
"The minions obey." Two hurriedly answered.
"King Bing, it's just that the cannon consumes a lot of fine iron, and there is a shortage of personnel, money and food here, and the minions are afraid that they will miss the king's major affairs." Tong Yangxing peeked at Huang Taiji and was in a good mood, so he boldly replied.
"The scarce objects and personnel will be reported after integration, and the lonely king will find a way." Huang Taiji, who was in a good mood, waved his hand, and the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver stolen by the Ming State made him full of confidence.
"You're the cannon maker." Huang Taiji looked at the ragged Mingren craftsman in front of him and asked.
"Back. Return to the king. Small.. The small one is exactly. Craftsman Meng Chunru replied tremblingly.
"Well, don't panic, you lead people to cast cannons, this king will not hesitate to reward, reward Meng Craftsman with 100 taels of silver, and other craftsmen 10 taels of silver each." Huang Taiji smiled.
"Thank you, Great King, for the reward." Lao Meng knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He was taken captive from Sanchatun and thought that he was the life of a serf, who would have thought that within two days of opening up the wasteland, he would be transferred here to cast cannons, and he was rewarded by the Jurchen king, which is really like a dream.
The other craftsmen are also three hoorays.
"The other soldiers will each be rewarded with five taels of silver." Huang Taiji then rewarded.
The cheers of thanksgiving were even louder.
"In addition. Tong nourishing sex, when will the Mingren fire gun that the Lone King ordered you to make be made? Huang Taiji turned his head and asked. This is the flintlock of the Breakers captured from the scout battle. After Huang Taiji and the others saw it, they immediately knew his magic and ordered it to be imitated together with artillery.
"Your Majesty, one of the shrenchnel in this firearm is the key to the ignition of gunpowder from sparks, but now the minions are searching for the fine iron of my Dajin, and they have not found such a tough material, so the minions are guilty." Tong Yang is afraid of pleading.
"This is not in a hurry, make it slowly," Huang Taiji thought that the flaws were not concealed, and he rewarded him in a good mood. "Tong Yangxing was promoted to Angbang Zhangjing, and Ding Qiming was promoted to third-class general."
"Thank you, Lord Long." The two knelt down happily, and the pig's tail flicked and flew wildly.
On the top of the main hall, Huang Taiji sat high, and Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Yuetuo, Haoge, Zilharang, Azig, Dolgon, Duoze, Dudu, Shuotuo and others gathered together.
Huang Taiji made a majestic round, and everyone looked up respectfully, including Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, who also bowed down. He smiled with satisfaction.
"Summoning us and other Aixin Jueluo people today is a major military situation. Come and pass on Li Yongfang. "Huang Taiji Dao.
Li Yongfang respectfully bent down and walked in, kneeling on the ground, "Meet Your Majesty the King." ”
"Get up and tell me all the news you have found." Huang Tai Chi Dao.
"Weichen obeyed the order, since Sun Chengzong took over as the governor of Jiliao, and the emperor of the Ming State set a strategy to build a city on the bank of the Daling River, and start construction this summer, now the infrastructure is completed, the moat is completed, and it is estimated that it can be completed next summer." Li Yongfang came one by one.
When everyone heard about it, there was a lot of discussion, and the Daling River was further northeast than Jinzhou, close to Yizhou and Guangning, which also threatened the Jurchen to detour through Mongolia and enter the pass, and the intentions of the Ming monarchs and ministers could be seen at a glance.
"The big guys are talking about how to deal with this." Huang Taiji smiled.
"The minister invited the king and more than 10,000 elite soldiers to go out to the Daling River, and the minister will destroy the Dalinghe Castle and go to this trouble." Du Du stepped forward.
"Well, Du Du is loyal and brave, step back for the time being." Huang Taiji was noncommittal.
The proposals put forward by Haoge, Shuotuo, Dolgon and others to seize the Daling River and defend Jinzhou were also rejected by Huang Taiji one by one. Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai are cold bystanders, and the only thing they can do at this time is to keep a low profile.
"Please also ask the king to make it clear." Zilharang said knowingly.
Huang Taiji's head is still the best thing in Zilharang.
"In the past, my Dajin attacked Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places were siege on the top, but the Liaozhen army was the elite of the Ming Kingdom, and most of the small families were in Liaodong, fighting to the death with my Dajin, our army could not attack repeatedly, and the casualties were not small, therefore, this time our army did not take the siege of the city as the top, but after the completion of the Dalinghe City, raised troops to besiege the Dalinghe, forced the Ming reinforcements to come east, and our army broke it in one fell swoop, and the Dalinghe River did not fight." Huang Taiji said his plan.
After thinking about it, they found that Huang Taiji's plan was very feasible.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the Ming army and reinforcements in Dalinghe City will cooperate with each other, and our army will suffer from the enemy." Mang Gurtai still couldn't see Huang Taiji so proud, so he stepped forward and poured cold water.
"This king ordered someone to explore the size of the Dalinghe Castle, which can only accommodate about 30,000 people at most, of which there are only 20,000 soldiers, so there are less than 10,000 field soldiers who can go out of the city, do you want to." Huang Taiji asked.
Everyone nodded, a big castle can not be all soldiers, it must have people and merchants to serve it, if the Ming army is 20,000, go to its old and weak auxiliaries, only half of them can fight in the field, and the other defenders can also go out of the city to deliver food. Even Mang Gurtai has no objection, this is obvious.
"In this way, as soon as our army arrives at the Daling River to dig a long trench to besiege the Ming army, if a large number of reinforcements from the Ming army arrive, the main force of our army will meet the enemy, and it is enough to leave 5,000 elite soldiers to monitor the enemy in the Daling River." Huang Tai Chi Dao.
Everyone nodded, 5,000 elite soldiers against 10,000 Ming troops all looked down on the combat power of the Ming army, even 5,000 against 20,000 Ming troops can also go down with one drum.
"The king is wise, as long as the Ming army is defeated by our army in the field, our army will be invincible in the Daling River, and through this battle, tens of thousands of Ming troops can be eliminated, making the Ming country even weaker, the king can be said to be far-sighted." The five-body throw that Zilharang admired.
The others all bowed to him, and Huang Taiji laughed, he firmly believed that he was scheming, and in the past, it was just someone who hindered him, and from now on, he could really let Dajin move forward with his wishes.
Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai also knew that they were far from Huang Taiji, far from Huang Taiji's opponents, and they could only retreat to protect themselves in the future.
After everyone left, Huang Taiji left Li Yongfang alone, because he still had important matters to discuss.
"Li Yongfang, you can find out clearly about this Ming army that hurt thousands of my clansmen this time." This is what Huang Taiji is extremely concerned about, if the combat power of the Ming army can be known at a glance, this Ming army is a mystery.
The abrupt appearance of his leader and soldiers caught Dajin off guard, and as a result, all the soldiers who fought with him were defeated, and even the sixth brother was defeated by his hands, causing the Jurchen's biggest loss and the biggest stain on the trip.
Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he hated everything that was out of control, and if he couldn't know himself and the enemy of this Ming army, then he would lose control, which made him extremely uneasy, kings have obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially promising kings.
"King Bing, in the past few months, the servants have sent a large number of people to explore the eastern area of Gyeonggi Mountain, and the news has been coming back some time ago," Li Yongfang knelt on the ground, as well-behaved as a domestic cat, "This army calls itself the Broken Army, and his leader is Zhao Lie, a thousand households of Denglai Jinghaiwei of the Ming Kingdom. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Huang Taiji was extremely surprised, Li Yongfang hurriedly explained, "This person's father is Zhao Haiming, the commander of the Da Ming Wei Sea Division, this person is quite brave, and he also has a vendetta against my Dajin, his second brother died at the hands of our army, as early as the summer of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, it was this person who caused hundreds of soldiers to be injured in the first battle of Lushun. ”
Huang Taiji squinted his eyes, he still remembered the scene when Mang Gurtai was whipped by his father Khan, it turned out that this Zhao Haiming had a grudge with me Dajin at that time. "Go on."
"This person's son Zhao Lie was only sixteen years old at the time, but he personally came to the battle array to kill and injure several of my soldiers, which can be described as bravery, however, this is just what the Ming Military Department said about the merits, and the truth must be explored. After all, it is common for the Ming army generals to lie about their military exploits. Li Yongfang peeked at Huang Taiji, only to see Huang Taiji nodding slightly, so he continued with relief,
"Before this campaign, Zhao Haiming didn't know if he knew anything, scattered his wealth to recruit family Ding warriors, and raised more than 3,000 family members, including more than 1,000 cavalry, the purpose of which was to protect his son Zhao Lie, sure enough, after Denglai sent troops, Zhao Lie was called to be subordinate to Zhang Keda, the general soldier of Denglai of the Ming Kingdom, to enter the king of Jingqin, and successively engaged our army in Gu'an and Zhuozhou, so that our army suffered a lot of damage."
Huang Taiji looked at Li Yongfang hesitantly, could it be that Zhao Haiming had heard about the entry into the customs, it is said that the mobilization of the Eight Banners into the customs is huge, and it is not strange that someone in the Ming Kingdom noticed it, but this time it can be seen that the Ming army is completely defenseless, but this Zhao Haiming is in Denglai but reacts like this, which is really puzzling.
"Moreover, the minions found out that the Zhao family seems to be related to the Jeju Ming people who damaged our army a lot in the Battle of Iron Mountain." Li Yongfang reported again.
"What." Huang Taiji was inexplicably surprised. (To be continued.) )
