Chapter 714: Sea Route (2)
Chongming County ordered the city gate to be opened late at night to welcome Gu San Mazi and others into the city.
Rules are dead, but people are alive. The rule of not opening the city gates at night is also a man.
Gu Biao led a group of soldiers to send him to the door and dispersed, and they all had a deep understanding of what the people who often went to sea needed most after they went ashore.
Gu San Mazi walked into the house, said a few words to the lady who came over, and was about to go to the concubine's house. A wife is not as good as a concubine, and his eyes are shining when he sees women now.
"Master, and stop" Mrs. Gu's face was not good-looking.
Gu San Mazi stopped his steps and turned back puzzled, Madame usually didn't dare to go against his will. Mrs. Gu pointed to the hall: "Please go and see a few things."
Mrs. Gu took the lantern from the maid and illuminated the way, and asked Gu San Mazi to go ahead. Walking through the hall, there was a small courtyard inside, and the two of them left their servants and maids outside. Mrs. Gu pushed open the door of the wing room on the right side of the room with her left hand, and in the faint yellow light, Gu San Mazi saw three boxes placed on the ground.
Mrs. Gu pointed to the box: "This is sent by General Shi in the afternoon."
Gu San Mazi stepped forward and pulled open the lock hanging on the box, lifted the lid of the box, and a row of silver ingots was neatly arranged inside.
"So much silver," he gasped.
"I think there is too much silver, I don't dare to call the shots, so I shouldn't accept it, but the housekeeper of the Shi family said that the master is coming back. I put these things here, didn't move at all, and waited for the master to come back and make a decision."
Gu San Mazi opened all three boxes, opened the opening of the boxes and looked at them for a while, and slowly closed them in turn.
"It's all coming to the door, why bother to go back"
There are no good men and women who have been pirates. If he had the opportunity, he would say a few words for Shi Fu, but whether he succeeded or failed did not have much to do with what he said.
Chen Huwei, the general soldier of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese army, was eyeing the northward movement of the unified army, and Chen Huwei could not afford to offend him, so he was taking the risk of saying a few words to Shi Fu
Gu San Mazi lived at home for a day, and the concubine couldn't get out of bed until noon.
In the afternoon, he changed his clothes, ordered someone to find Shi Lang, and ordered the sailor warship to escort the two to Yangzhou. He didn't think about taking Shi Lang with him last night, for the sake of the silver.
The warship arrived at the border of Yangzhou in one day and one night, Gu San Mazi entered Yangzhou City, and when he arrived at the palace of the regent, he learned that the regent went to the camp outside Huai'an City.
He didn't dare to wait stupidly in Yangzhou City, so he walked with the army of government soldiers transporting grain and grass and went to Huai'an.
There was a foul smell in the low tent, and Zhai Zhe endured the nauseous breath.
The man in front of him who was paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were blank, was the fierce general of the Qing Dynasty.
Ao Bai asked, "Are you really ...... Regent? ”
"Who would dare to pretend to be me?" Zhai Zhe looked down at Ao Bai's legs, "You have both broken legs?" ”
Ao Bai's expression was gloomy: "Yes, I only hope that death will be fulfilled by the regent." ”
Zhai Zhe turned around and lifted the curtain of the tent, and a wisp of wind blew in, disturbing the turbid air inside. The guards nearby saw it and hurriedly came over and drew the curtain.
"Death is the easiest thing," Zhai Zhe turned around and walked back, "You lost the battle, Ji'er Harang won't stay in Huai'an City for long, I don't know what capital you two Yellow Banners have." ”
"What do you mean by the prince?" Ao Bai seems to have been stung by a wasp, "The matter of the two yellow flags is not to be worried about by the prince"
"This king wants to negotiate peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty," Zhai Zhe put his hands behind his back and looked down at Aobai, "Let's tell you the truth, the peace conditions between this king and the Qing Dynasty are not Henan and Shaanxi, those are just the king's temptation of Dolgon, I didn't expect Dolgon to have no sincerity." This king must restore the territory of the old Ming Dynasty to the first line of Shanhaiguan. ”
Ao Bai smelled a little special smell and asked, "Why does the prince want to sue me for these o?"
"With Dolgon on the regency throne, the war between the Ming and the Manchus would not end. The enemy of this king is Dorgon, who killed countless Han people and forced the Han people to shave, this king killed Dorgon, but he will not kill you. ”
"Phew" Ao Bai scolded fiercely, "Although I was captured, I am Baturu of the Qing Dynasty, and the prince wants me to surrender, which is wishful thinking." The prince let me go back, and I will meet the Han people on the battlefield. ”
The scolding came into Zhai Zhe's ears, the expression on his face was as hard as a stone carving, he didn't move at all, and said lightly: "Your two legs will have to recuperate for at least half a year before you can go to war, and in this half year, you will stay in my camp, and I will let you see how Dolgon abolished Fulin and sat on the throne himself." ”
"Fart, Dolgon won't do this, he won't dare" The loud roar of Ao Bai showed how frightened he was.
Zhai Zhe gave a smile: "Perhaps, you still hope that Dolgon will do this."
He turned and walked out of the tent, leaving behind a painful, tangled bow.
Ao Bai will understand what he means
He never expected to recruit the Jurchens into the tent. The Jurchens' days in Sene would not last long. The white mountains and black waters outside the fortress, the long supply lines, the unfamiliar terrain and the unkind people were all obstacles for the Ming army to fight outside the fortress. Huang Taiji once showed him that he could not conquer the tribes outside the Saiwai by killing alone.
The cannon roared not far away, and after listening to it for a long time, you would feel that there was a "buzzing" sound in your ears all the time.
The Ming army arranged 50 Hongyi cannons outside Huai'an City, and more than 300 other small siege guns. Every day, from the hour of the hour, the cannon fire continued, until the end of the hour of Shen
When he returned to the Chinese army, all the generals gathered by Fengqin had arrived. The generals of the Chinese army stood on both sides, all waiting for the arrival of the regent.
Fang Jin escorted Zhai Zhe straight to the tiger skin seat.
The majestic voice of "See the Regent" was like a raging wave, and even Feng Qin, who usually seemed listless, was full of vitality.
Zhai Zhe stretched out his arms: "The generals are exempt"
The fur of the tiger skin was silky, and Zhai Zhe sat down.
Feng Qin went out to report: "Lord Qiqi, three days ago, this army and Jierharang fought a big battle outside Huai'an, and a total of 4,800 Jurchen Tartar captives, 220 Jurchen people, and 1,000 Han Chinese were captured. ”
After the news that the Ming army had captured the Jurchen captives and beheaded them spread all over the country, it became more and more difficult to catch the Jurchens.
Zhai Zhe stroked his palms and praised it, and laughed: "From tomorrow, send foot soldiers to attack the city, and within a month, take Huai'an City."
He is not an emperor, but he is also one step away from being an emperor. Every sentence that is uttered does not say golden words, but there is no special reason, and it is not allowed to be discussed or refuted by others.
Feng Qin's face changed slightly, and he said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the losses of the Qing captives are not small, but the main force is not chaotic. Although the city of Huai'an is small, it was built by Dolgon and Jierharang for several years, it is very strong, and the waterway of the Huai River is unimpeded, and the Qing court can send supplies to the city from the waterway. You have to wait for the fighters to break the city within a month. ”
In military matters, what does he have to say. The regent thought that this victory would come easily, but in fact the two sides had been in a stalemate outside the city for a month. Ao Bai didn't know why he dared to attack Li Zhi'an's army, and killed Fengqin's army like a moth to a fire, so he won this great victory. In the final analysis, this victory was based on the stupidity of Aobai, and the regent's request for a month to break through the city of Huai'an was too harsh.
"What, doesn't General Feng have confidence?"
Zhai Zhe's question made the generals in the tent silently nervous.
Feng Qin insisted: "The prince wants to break the city within a month, and the last general is afraid that the soldiers will be forced too tightly, so that the Manchu cavalry will find an opportunity." ”
Zhai Zhe said in a displeased tone: "This king wants to break the city in January, every time the general does what this king thinks, he wants to wait for the opportunity, when will he wait?"
"The last general obeys" Feng Qin bit his lip and retreated.
"Did the generals hear clearly? Within a month, we will go south to Huai'an City and enter Xuzhou."
"Obedience"
The roar of the generals in the tent was like the sound of cannon outside the city.
Walking out of the tent, there was a lot of discussion among the familiar generals.
"The city was broken within a month, and the prince came to Huai'an, not to celebrate the victory, but to be very dissatisfied with the progress of my army."
Feng Qin walked at the forefront, and everyone's eyes were on his back. The most glamorous people of the previous days are now under the most stress.
Several general soldiers walked out of the camp of the Chinese army, Li Zhian couldn't help but say: "Judging from the previous war, the Qing prisoners are nothing remarkable, General Feng is too cautious, if we engage the Qing prisoners as soon as possible, we will be able to attack Huai'an City a long time ago."
He lost more than half of his troops and horses, and although he could replenish the government soldiers, it would take at least two or three years of battlefield training to restore his former combat strength. Feng Qin was not satisfied with his performance on the battlefield this time, and only gave him a third credit.
"It's also" Yuan Qizhou grinned and agreed, "Qing Yu is nothing more than that"
Fang Yuanke pondered all the way and said, "Is there progress on the battlefields everywhere, and the regent is not satisfied with the battle in Huai'an, so he personally came to supervise the battle." Li Laiheng has just captured Luzhou, General Xiao has recovered most of Henan, and General Zuo seems to be making good progress in Shaanxi. ”
"It is long overdue to fight with the Qing captives" Li Zhian is still regretting.
On that day, Zhai Zhe stayed overnight in the Chinese army. Early the next morning, he personally led his own guards to Huai'an City to supervise the siege of the city.
The Ming army bombarded the iron artillery for a whole day, and the government soldiers and people carried sandbags to fill the moat. It is close to the Yellow River, and the underground water is densely undercurrent, so it is impossible to dig tunnels to attack the city
In front of the gates of the four cities, there was a day of fighting in the dark, with the south gate being the most intense. The Ming army destroyed the iron gate of the south city with iron cannons, and cracked the gatehouse of the south city gate. Yuan Qizhou commanded the armor soldiers to fight for the south city gate, and after two hours of fierce fighting, they were defeated and returned.
When Gu San Mazi came to the Huaiyang military camp, the siege had already lasted for three days.
The moat had just been filled, and the real bloody battle had officially begun.
Hearing that Gu San Mazi asked to see him, Zhai Zhe immediately left the battlefield in full swing and returned to the barracks.
Gu San Mazi and Shi Lang met the regent in the Chinese army's tent.
"You're back, how's it going?" Zhai Zhe made no secret of his excitement and expectation.
Gu San Mazi said: "All the way is smooth, and the routes to Shandong, Gyeonggi and Liaodong are clearly explored."
"Okay" Zhai Zhe felt the uncontrollable throbbing in his chest, the battlefield was under control, he was going to give Dolgon the last punch, "You two are worth the trip, the opportunity for meritorious service is right in front of you"
