Chapter 11 The Agitators, Kill Nothing
After the Songshan people were gone, Zu Zerun hesitated, and said to Zu Dashou unwillingly: "Father, this person is too arrogant, too disrespectful to my ancestral family, and he is also heavy on the third brother, why not take this opportunity to take this person and replace it with our people?" ”
"You know what?"
Although the tone was stern, Zu Dashou's face was much gentler, he looked at his eldest son, and said earnestly: "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, now that our army is outside, the grain and grass are controlled by Qiu Hejia, if he takes his people rashly, how can he give up?" If we are stuck with grain and grass, it will inevitably delay the construction of the city, my father and I have set up a military standing in the superintendent, and the city will be repaired before September, if the deadline is missed, how can my father explain to the superintendent? ”
Sun Chengzong's current official position is Liaodong Jingluo, and the position of supervisor is the official position of the Tianqi Dynasty, but this dynasty is not a supervisor, but Zu Dashou still uses the supervisor to call the old boss.
Listening to his father's words, Zu Zerun nodded and did not squeak again. Zu Dashou opened his mouth and said:
"But Qiu Hejia has repeatedly opposed his father, how can his father let him succeed? The duty of Matsuyama's garrison is indeed a key point, and if you don't change the people who are at ease, you will always have a heart disease. Well, when the new city is completed, it is necessary to take down Na Shi Dayong from the beginning. This will be not in a hurry, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, if your father doesn't stop it in time, your kid will cause a tricky problem for your father. In the future, when encountering problems, you must not make decisions without authorization, and now my ancestral family is related to the fate of tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong, and the whole body will be affected by a single hair, and there is no perfect strategy, and the people sent by the imperial court should try not to offend. can be dragged and delayed, can endure and endure, as long as Jiannu is here, no one can move the foundation of my ancestral family, whether it is the emperor or those ministers in the court, they all have to rely on us, do you understand! ”
"What Daddy said is very true, the child understands!" Zu Zerun nodded heavily, in fact, according to his understanding, his father's approach is to raise his own respect.
Seeing that his son understood, Zu Dashou smiled with relief, and said: "You are the eldest brother and the deputy general, and you will take over your father's position in the future. ”
Zu Zerun's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "The child must follow his father's teachings, and his father can rest assured, in fact, the child led his younger brother out of the city today, not to wander around, but to reconnoiter the movements of Jiannu." ”
"Reconnoitering the movements of Jiannu?" Zu Dashou's expression moved, and he was about to say something, but he heard the gong of the warning on the head of the city suddenly sounded, and a soldier shouted: "The Tartars are coming, the Tartars are coming!" ”
The first to discover the Houjin cavalry was the watchtower on the wall of the Daling River, and the first to sound the gong and sound the alarm were also the defenders in the city.
When he heard the alarm, Shi Dayong had already led the convoy out of two miles away.
The news of the arrival of the Tartars soon spread through the ranks, and the faces of the soldiers and men changed, and everyone looked uneasily to the northeast. Some of the timid folks were so frightened that they hid under the carriage and shivered.
In the northeast direction, hundreds of flags can be faintly seen fluttering in the wind, and the sound of hooves can be heard from the distant land in an instant.
The dust driven by the horses' hooves was as black as a rolling rain.
Not good!
Shi Dayong's cheeks twitched, and he took a breath of cold air: Could it be that Huang Taiji is here with an army?!
"My lord, judging by the sound of hooves and dust, there will be no more than a thousand Tartars coming!"
Jiang Wanli was born in cavalry, so he naturally had more experience than Shi Dayong, and the approximate number of Houjin cavalry could be discerned from the dust and hoofs in the distance.
Knowing that there were not many Eight Banner soldiers attacking, Shi Dayong breathed a sigh of relief, Huang An hurriedly beat his horse over, and asked, "My lord, what should we do?" ”
Shao Wu also rushed from the front of the team and asked Shi Dayong with a panicked face: "Withdraw into the city?" ”
Retreating into the city is naturally better, Shi Dayong has not thought of competing with the Houjin cavalry so quickly, and there are five hundred people in the team, and the Houjin soldiers are killed, these people must be in a mess and become the biggest trouble. As long as the Eight Banners cavalry sees the gap, it only takes one round trip, and their own side will be scattered, and then the whole army will be annihilated.
The family background is like this, and it is really painful to not fight in the first war.
Shi Dayong didn't dare to take risks, and without thinking about it, he wanted to open his mouth and order to retreat to Dalinghe City quickly.
Who knows, before the mouth opened, the eyes were straight first-the city gate of the Daling River was actually closed!
…………
"Zu Dashou, who killed a thousand knives, he wants to trap us to death!"
Seeing that the city gate was closed and there was no way out, Jiang Wanli was the first to scold, gritting his teeth and glaring at Dalinghe City, his eyes full of anger. He has experienced the same scene no less than three times, and every time at the most critical time, Zu Dashou will do the same thing - give up his allies!
The sudden appearance of the Houjin cavalry and the firmly closed gate of the Dalinghe City, the Songshan army generally felt uneasy, and the long wood and fire gun in their hands were shaken again and again, and the palms of some recruits were oozing sweat.
Most of the people are natives of Liaodong, and they know that the Jurchen Tartar cavalry of the Daoist Dao is powerful, and often a team of 100 people can defeat thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, so they can't trust the people and horses of Songshan at all. If it weren't for the fact that Matsuyama's soldiers and horses didn't move, they would have shouted a long time ago and dispersed in an uproar.
"Master Jun, run quickly, if you don't run, it's too late!"
"The Tartar cavalry is running fast, if we don't run again, no one will be able to go back when we meet!"
"The little ones are old, and the little ones are small, the family can wait to go back, but you can't ask the Tartars to be caught and become slaves, please beg the military master to do well, let the little ones escape!"
“……”
I don't know who shouted first, and soon, hundreds of people clamored to run, and some of the bold ones even began to push the Songshan soldiers who were supervising them.
"Pass the order, dare to have a riotous agitator, kill nothing!"
The chaos of the people prompted Shi Dayong to issue a strict order, ordering Huang An and Shao Wu to immediately suppress them, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.
The Houjin cavalry is not far away, and at this moment is the time of life and death of the Songshan army, Shi Dayong would rather have a bloody battle with the Houjin cavalry until the last fall, rather than be wiped out because of the chaos of his own team.
Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!
Whether it is a soldier or a people, whoever dares to mess with the Songshan Army will die!
Under the pressure of the two battalions of Wu and Yong, the clamor of the people was quickly suppressed, and under the threat of the bright big knife and the black hole, no matter how bold the people were, they also closed their mouths with interest.
Shi Dayong also ordered the baggage battalion to immediately organize the people to put together 160 carts and connect them into a ring. The 300 soldiers and 500 men of the baggage battalion were all hiding in the chariot formation, and no one was allowed to step out without an order.
The protection of the chariot array is more symbolic, if the Houjin cavalry on that slope really attacked, once the Songshan army outside the chariot array was annihilated, the chariot array was a cage, trapping anyone who wanted to escape.
But at this moment, symbolic protection is far better than no protection, at least, it can stabilize the people, prevent them from fleeing like frightened birds, and thus crush the Matsuyama army.
Sure enough, after the formation was set up, the mood of the people calmed down a little, and they began to slowly come back to their senses. Some people judged from the Houjin cavalry banner on the slope in the distance that there were not too many Tartars, and it seemed that they were more scouting than they were coming to attack.
After there was no imminent danger, the people settled down.
But the danger is still in front of him, and the Houjin cavalry in the distance is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, and no one knows when this sharp sword will fall.
