Huang Shi held the military intelligence report in his hand, and secretly laughed and scolded himself for being too worried. Originally, he wanted to provoke the Ming army to fight a little bit and make excuses for not going out to fight, but now it is obviously no longer necessary.

"Go and call Li Chengfeng, Mao Youjie, and Mao Kexi, and let them go to Lord Sun's mansion immediately to have an emergency military situation. Huang Shi immediately gave an order to Hong Antong, and then took Jin Qiude and Zhao Slowxiong to meet Sun Chengzong.

For guys like Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, who have good faces and don't have much belly, if Huang Shi really wants to resolve it for them, the correct action should be to praise the two on the surface, and to reprimand them fiercely behind their backs. In this way, they have earned enough face in front of their soldiers and subordinates, and they will also understand that Yellowstone will not shelter them forever.

It's a pity that Huang Shi did the opposite, for the friction between the two people, Huang Shi simply used the method of playing fifty boards each to deal with it, and in private, he comforted the two of them warmly, so that both of them believed that Huang Shi was on his side in his heart. The two of them became more unscrupulous, and they always wanted to find an opportunity to earn back the lost face. In the past two days, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi have all embraced: "If you don't kill this time, you bastard, Lao Tzu will take your surname." "This way of thinking to carry out exchanges, and yesterday even broke out a large-scale fight.

Shang Kexi's subordinates were indeed more elite as he said, but the Geng Zhongming brothers gradually overwhelmed their opponents by relying on the large number of people. By the time Huangshi arrived at the bomb press, Geng Zhongming had already made a good exchange, and there were only about ten of them compared to them, and he was beaten so much that he couldn't get out of bed, but he seriously injured more than 20 of Shang Kexi's water battalion soldiers. Of course, this made Sun Chengzong angry, but Huang Shi persuaded Sun Chengzong to let them make meritorious contributions under the pretext that "now is the time to employ people".

"Ge Lao, this is the Jiannu banner of Tanmaxian. Huang Shi handed the military information to Sun Chengzong with a relaxed face, and the latter didn't seem to be very nervous when he saw Huang Shi, so he didn't particularly care, but when Sun Chengzong only looked at it twice, he immediately became very strict.

Sun Chengzong looked up and saw that Huang Shi still had an indifferent expression, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Huang Shi, is your military situation accurate?"

"How dare the last general lie and deceive the elder. This military situation is very true. With an innocent face, Huangshi's tone was still so steady and powerful, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Then why don't you seem to be in a hurry at all?" Sun Chengzong always felt that Huang Shi's expression was a little weird, and he couldn't see any nervousness and uneasiness from this person.

Huang Shi smiled slightly, and explained softly to Sun Chengzong: "If Jiannu only comes with a white flag, the last general will let Mao Youjie and Mao Kexi take their own troops and Xuanfeng battalion to defend the city, and the last general will lead the fire battalion to defeat the Jiannu reinforcements." If Jiannu Zhenghongqi also comes with a few Niu Lu, the last general can also bring Mao Kexi to help. Even Jiannu inlaid with red flags also followed south. The last general can still wait in the city to find a flaw in Jiannu. But now..."

Speaking of this, Huang Shi shook his head and said that he was powerless: "Since there is only one way to defend the city, what else is there to worry about?"

Hearing Huang Shi say this, Sun Chengzong just sighed deeply, and then the old and young looked at each other and laughed. Huang Shi laughed a few times, and then secretly turned his face away, and secretly admired the courage of Sun Chengzong, a civil official, in his heart. He has been on the battlefield many times, and it is good to say that this old grandson has never seen the enemy, but when he saw the strength of the enemy army at first glance, he did not mean to panic. There was no hint of fear or retreat.

Soon, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and Li Chengfeng all came, and the three of them were nervous and restless after reading the military situation, especially the Jinzhou garrison, Li Chengfeng, who was already colorless. After the report of the horse exploration appeared, the banners of the four flags of Jin Zhenghong, red, white, and yellow appeared, and the leading place seemed to be Nurhachi himself, and there were at least 60 Niu Lu reinforcements.

Huang Shi estimated that the Houjin army in Nanguan would soon abandon the baggage and come to join the reinforcements, because Nurhachi's reinforcements had brought a lot of supplies, and since they came out empty, they would definitely be in a hurry to return to Liaoyang, so it was impossible to push the cart near Jinzhou. After not dragging down Nanguan without baggage, the Jin army will soon be able to merge with the reinforcements. Then the entire army of Houjin will have at least more than 8,000 armored soldiers. There may even be tens of thousands.

In the face of such overwhelming strength, Huang Shi believes that how to play strategy is also a word - let alone death, he may not be the opponent over there when he plays strategy...... Far from enough classes to be precise.

"Jiannu mobilized the Six Banners to come, and he really looks up to us," Huang Shi smiled lightly. The bandit gang of Houjin came to southern Liaoning to rob and found nothing. This large-scale mobilization is estimated to have made their modest reserves even more embarrassing. I think Nurhachi's economy is hurting this time.

The empty country is out of the country, the food and grass are not enough, and it is estimated that the troops will be withdrawn soon-Huang Shi repeatedly pondered the other party's possible actions, and he blurted out for a moment in his heart: "The general has already decided, I will lead the fire battalion to stick to the garrison of Jinzhou, Mao Kexi will lead the headquarters to protect Lord Sun and go to the dock fortress." ”

A castle was also built at the wharf of Golden State, and this fort was covered by the sea, so there was only one side against 6 places, and this side was also hidden behind Fort Golden State, which was well covered, so the dock fortress was really a very safe place. Let Sun Chengzong hide in the dock, not only is it not easy to encounter danger, but it is really not possible, and you can also use the ship to retreat, so that the arrangement is foolproof.

But since Sun Chengzong is sitting here, this kind of military deployment is not Huangshi's turn. After Huang Shi, who was distracted for a while, finished speaking, several generals around him were looking at him with strange eyes, Zhao Slow Xiong was also frantically throwing over, his eyes were like a dream, Huang Shi hurriedly turned around and apologized to Sun Chengzong: "Lord Sun, the last general is rude, please forgive me." ”

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and laughed: "Innocent, innocent, you continue to read and say." ”

Huang Shi and Sun Chengzong have been together for a long time, and he has never felt that the old Sun Tou is overpowering him, so he gradually let go, and now since he heard Sun Chengzong say this, Huang Shi has unceremoniously deployed all military affairs. After this busy time, after making everyone clear about their tasks, Huang Shi repeatedly finalized the details with them.

"Master Sun, do you have anything else to advise?" When Huang Shi arranged all the work places, Sun Chengzong never bothered him, and when all the qiē was over, Huang Shi asked symbolically.

"Very well, let's do it. Sun Chengzong agreed without hesitation. But then he added: "But the official is not going to the port fortress, and the official is going to stay in this Golden State Fort." ”

If it were someone else, Huang Shi would definitely say two sentences. But the former was not any other scholar, but Sun Chengzong, who was a typical Chinese scholar, the kind of scholar who could no longer be traditional, and what he paid attention to was "living in the temple and the high of the people, and living in the distance of the rivers and lakes was worried about the king." ”

In history, after Sun Chengzong was suspicious of Chongzhen, he returned to his hometown and returned to his hometown Gaoyang, and after Sun Chengzong donated most of his ancestral property to build the city wall of Gaoyang. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, nearly 10,000 pigtailed soldiers entered the pass again and plundered, and when more than 100,000 Ming troops rushed to enter Sun Chengzong's Gaoyang hometown, the defenders also dispersed in a hurry.

At that time, a friend persuaded Sun Chengzong to take refuge in the strong Baoding, and said that Sun Chengzong had retired and no longer had the obligation to defend the land. However, Sun Chengzong was indignant at the timidity and incompetence of the officials and soldiers, and used the truth that "the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband" to inspire his children and grandchildren to lead them to resist. In the defense of Gaoyang, not a single soldier of the Ming army was seen. At the head of the city, only Sun Chengzong's descendants, relatives, friends, and neighbors were beating drums and cheering behind them, and it was the seventy-six-year-old man who was cheering......

Huang Shi had read this history in his previous life, that is, three hundred years later, so he knew that it would be an insult to the old grandson to say to Sun Chengzong: "How can the body of an adult's daughter stay in a dangerous place" or "dare to invite an adult to sit in the rear, so that the last general and other generals can have no worries", etc.

"In this way, please ask Lord Sun to sit at the north gate of Jinzhou Fort and defend the enemy tower, and when the last general dares to ask Lord Sun to cheer for the whole army. ”

Huang Shi's request was very rude, which made several other generals uneasy. But the old grandson laughed and said, "It's just what the ministry wants." ”

February 19 of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

Nurhachi's royal banner was three miles away from the north gate of Jinzhou, but Huangshi didn't have the slightest interest in going to shoot it. First, his six-pounder cannon couldn't hit that far, and second, even if Huangshi had a cannon that could hit three miles away, he didn't have that character to hit the boar's skin. Three miles away, people seem smaller than ants, and they can hit it with one shot, which is really a good man of the ninth world...... It takes not 900 generations of good people to create the miracle of zào.

Wu Mu and the two brocade guards hid far behind. The eunuch was the emperor's domestic slave, and Sun Chengzong was the emperor's teacher. Therefore, since Sun Chengzong came, Wu Mu has never appeared in front of Huangshi's eyes again, and the situation is so grim today, but Wu Mu still does not dare to come forward to perform his duties as a military supervisor.

Nurhachi's reinforcements formed a semi-encirclement posture against Jinzhou, and 16,000 soldiers of the Later Jin, Manchu and Han tribes, who had been trapped for nearly a month, staggered around Jinzhou Fort and walked in the direction of Nurhachi's banner, and they ate almost all the horses and plundered livestock. They also snatched a lot of cloth and farm tools from Lushun, and now these goods and all the vehicles have also been burned down with Nanguan.

Most of these Houjin soldiers who were sitting in Nanguan were unkempt, and those unarmored auxiliaries and Han soldiers were all in rags, and they wept excitedly when they saw the Houjin brothers' troops coming to reinforce them. These guys know that when it comes time to break out, they will definitely be cannon fodder and a burden.

For the first time since the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens, they have tasted this despair and felt this experience of escaping death.

Standing at the head of Jinzhou City, Huangshi watched this touching scene coldly, the Houjin bandit group under the city has always relied on invincibility to maintain morale and prestige, and has never been forced into this dilemma by the Ming army. In Huangshi's design for the future of southern Liaoning, he also planned to use Zhang Pan's old technique to transfer the main force back to Changsheng Island and make every effort to build Jinzhou into an impregnable fortress. Presumably, after this battle, the Jin army would never dare to go deep into Lushun again before uprooting Jinzhou. If Houjin really plans to play this kind of long-distance raid again, Huangshi doesn't mind playing a few more times, closing the door and beating the dog, Nurhachi can't expect to have this good luck in the future and rescue his subordinates in time.

At this time, Sun Chengzong hugged the Houjin officers and soldiers who were crying under the city, and he was also full of emotion in his heart: "Huangshi, you only have four battalions, and Jiannu has to mobilize six banners to retreat with his whole body." ”

As long as Huang Taiji does not take office for a day, then Houjin will still be a gang of thieves, not a state. Huang Shi hurriedly said modestly: "The last general is a Ming officer, the last general's subordinates are Ming officials, and the army is just a robber." Master Sun praised it falsely. ”

"If every general of the Ming Dynasty is like Huangshi, how can you let Jiannu run rampant so much. When Sun Chengzong heard this, he just sneered: "That Liaoxi generals are favored by the country, but every time the headquarters wants them to fight, they cry to me, 'slave cavalry shoots unequaled wild waves, and it is absolutely impossible. 'Hmph, I should have called them all to this Golden State. ”

This "riding and shooting" theory suddenly made Huang Shi burst into a sneer, he never believed in anything, "riding and shooting is invincible in the world" said. In the neighbors of Chinese history, from the Xiongnu, Rouran, Turkic to Mongolia, there have been waves of cavalry and archery for thousands of years, but from the beginning of the Warring States period, the Qin, the strong Han, and even the Wei, Jin, Sui, and Tang dynasties, 99 times out of a hundred times were Chinese infantry, and the archery and herdsmen were beaten all over the ground with bows and crossbows. In these 5,000 years of history, it was only a few decades when the riding and archery was majestic. As a result, the Han people who won 99 times in 100 battles were said to be a cowardly race, and those nomads who could only be majestic once in a hundred years were "invincible in the world", which is really unreasonable!

"It's just that Meng Yuan boasted of his strength and wanted to use this to deter my Chinese people. "In Huangshi's impression, the Mongols have been slaves for thousands of years, not to mention that the Han people are Turkic, Goguryeo, Liao, or whatever, anyone can bully them, not so much that they Mongols have played for thousands of years, and they are powerful in riding and archery, but rather because Temujin is powerful. But it's a pity that many Han people don't have self-confidence. On the contrary, they think that their ancestors are not as powerful as these slave races for generations...... The invincible cavalry and archery people in the world have been hiding in the grasslands for generations, wandering, eating sand, blowing blizzards, and allowing the cowardly and incompetent Han people to occupy all the plastered lands of East Asia.

These theories of "mounted archery" or "Mongol" invincibility have always made Huangshi angry and funny, and before the first Genghis Khan became famous, there were at least a thousand Genghis Khans who were shot pigs' heads by the Han Chinese. It was this Mengyuan who also took advantage of the civil strife in China to rise, and in less than a hundred years, millions of Mongolian horsemen who were "invincible in the world" were driven out of the Central Plains by the bamboo pole soldiers of Ming Taizu. Of course, some Mongolian compatriots argued that in the late Mongol Yuan Dynasty, they were beaten into pigs' heads by the Ming army, and the Mongolian iron cavalry did not show their real strength. But what makes Huangshi strange is that the Han Mongols bullied and bullied the cowardly Song can show that they are "invincible in the world", and the Ming army has been winning the Mongols for 300 years?

After escaping, the Jin soldiers quickly regained their sense of strength, and after they were frightened, they flocked to the edge of Jinzhou City and began to curse. Later, Jin Jun also took out a lot of flags, painted various portraits of pigs and dogs on them, and shouted the name of Huangshi, saying that he was a timid livestock.

"The donkey is poor. Huang Shi just sneered at this and stopped talking, Hou Jin Jun's method is like Huang Shi urinating under Gaizhou City, at this time, if the fire battalion goes to war, it will be a fool - scold, scold, I will go to Liaoyang and Shenyang sooner or later to scold back. Boar skin, let's see.

But after a while, Huang Shi's relaxed and happy expression became solemn, and the soldiers of the Golden Three Banners pushed the women they had taken captive to the city, and they wantonly despised them in front of the defenders. As soon as one of these Han women was slightly unhappy, the Jin soldiers did not hesitate to swing their knives and cut off the heads of those women.

In the end, those women forced their faces to laugh, and in front of the Ming army of Jinzhou, they frolicked with those robbers, and many guys who were obviously Han soldiers also laughed loudly at the city, and sent bursts of vicious words that could not be heard in the ear. Many of the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Battalion and the auxiliary soldiers of Nanguan who defended the city recognized their wives and sisters from the suffering women, and the low roars of the soldiers and the cries of the angry hearts gradually sounded over the Golden State Fort.

"Hey, hey, good means, good means. Looking at the unbearable scene under the city, Huang Shi also sneered miserably, he shook his head, his face sank, and said to Hong Antong: "The order is that those people will cry under the city and cry." And let the guards of the city gates open their eyes wide and dare to fight privately!"

It was in front of Sun Chengzong that Huang Shi dared to be so presumptuous, this old Sun Tou was a rare open-minded Wenchen in the late Ming Dynasty, Huang Shi remembered that during the Zunyong Battle in history, Qin Liangyu had twice disobeyed Sun Chengzong's orders, and repeatedly raised objections to Sun Chengzong's deployment. Sun Chengzong, a military general, a woman and a minority ethnic minority, as an important minister of the Three Dynasties, did not mind, but defended Qin Liangyu in front of a group of indignant ministers, and repeatedly emphasized that he attached more importance to the opinions of the first-line military generals.

If it was other Wenchen, Huangshi would definitely not dare to do so. With his current status as a third-grade general, let alone a cabinet minister, even the seventh-grade imperial history Huangshi can't afford to provoke it.

For example, if Yuan Chonghuan, another famous Liaodi border minister, was in front of him, then Huangshi would definitely not dare to talk nonsense. When he was in Ningyuan, a guerrilla was beheaded after Yuan Chonghuan said a word, and Sun Chengzong also accused him of this. Yuan Chonghuan also said at the time that he would be more tolerant of generals in the future.

Full of Gui. That was a life-and-death friendship with Yuan Chonghuan, during the Battle of Ningjin, Man Gui was just not very obedient, and Yuan Chonghuan immediately swept him out of the house. Later, during the Battle of Beijing, Man Gui was shot and wounded by the rout of the Guanning army, and Man Gui insisted that it was Yuan Chonghuan's instructions without thinking. He also untied his armor in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong and other ministers in the main hall, pointed to his wounds and complained about Yuan Chonghuan - this is also one of the important reasons why Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned. Although it turned out later that Man Gui seemed to be wrong to blame Yuan Chonghuan, this incident is enough to show what kind of contradiction and misunderstanding between Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui has reached.

As for Mao Wenlong, who robbed Yuan Chonghuan twice, Huang Shi remembers his fate clearly.

In short, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the civil servants lacked the grace of accommodating people, as the so-called "Wen regards martial arts as slaves, and martial arts regard literature as hatred".

When Huang Shi gave the order, Sun Chengzong's eyes were already red, and when he heard Huang Shi actually give such an order, his eyes also showed some disappointment and dissatisfaction: "Old man Huang Shi thinks that the morale can be used to attack with this army, and he can't break the Jianjiao?"

Perhaps morale was hard to come by for the feudal army. But what Huangshi is most afraid of in governing the army is that he is hot-headed and undisciplined: "The elders don't know, the army pays attention to 'orders and prohibitions', if the army is allowed to go to war, I am afraid that they will not know how to advance and retreat, and it will be difficult to restrain them." There is a cloud in the art of war, and 'soldiers will not be raised out of anger'. The time has come. ”

Sun Chengzong was silent when he heard this, and only after a while did he reluctantly nodded: "Old man, this is the first time to watch the battle formation, of course, Huangshi you say the land." ”

Huang Shi sighed secretly, those who know people are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. Sun Chengzong has prestige, qualifications, and is a doer who has walked from the bottom to the center step by step for decades, and he has a tolerant mind and is loyal to the Ming Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, he is a minister of Zhongxing. It's a pity that the apocalypse has such a teacher, but it can't be used, and Chongzhen Tianzi may have been stimulated by the Battle of Beijing, and Sun Chengzong was also restrained everywhere, so why should the Ming Dynasty not die?

"Then Huangshi, why don't you open fire?" Sun Chengzong pointed to the Houjin soldiers under the city, who had already entered the range of the six-pounder cannon.

"Ge Lao Mingjian Jiannu is so far away, and the formation is evacuated, and the general is afraid that the cannon may not be able to hit people. Huang Shi has never had much confidence in his character, so he never gambled: "And if Jiannu intends to attack the city, it is always good for Jiannu not to know the range of our army's artillery." ”

Sun Chengzong had already closed his eyes, and the Houjin soldiers under the city were still humiliating women with impunity. When he opened his eyes again, Sun Chengzong said in an irrefutable tone: "How can you calm the hatred in the old man's chest without shooting a few Tartars." Huangshi, you are the old man's school cannon, and the old man has to fire the cannon with his own hands. ”

Huang Shi silently calibrated the muzzle of the cannon, and then personally presented the torch to Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong raised the torch and stood solemnly for a few seconds, and finally threw it from the city with a long sigh: "The Holy Lord, Longen, appointed the old man to shepherd the side, like a Liaodong living in misery, but the old man can only fire a few cannons indiscriminately to vent his anger. ”

Huang Shi was trying to comfort him, but Sun Chengzong turned around suddenly, looked at Su Junzhang, and his eyes were like electricity: "Old man Huang Shi wants to go back to Beijing for you, and in front of the saint, I will promote you as the commander of the military affairs of Liaoxi." The five general soldiers and the forty battalions of the Guanning army in Liaozhen are all under your control, and there are three million taels of military salaries every year. ”

"Give you another three years to train the army, three years is enough. When the forty battalions of soldiers are trained, the old man will ensure that you are the general manager of the whole army for Wu Jinglu. Sun Chengzong's arm stretched out and pointed at the Houjin army under the city and shouted: "Destroy this dynasty for the old man!"
