I haven't seen him for a few months, and Yuan Chonghuan is completely like a different person. The original fair face is now the same as that of an African chicken.

can be so tanned in Liaodong, it can be seen that this guy is really working hard to train his troops.

The training method in "Ji Xiao's New Book" surprised Yuan Chonghuan. He was a little confused, obviously Daming had such a good military book. Why save it and not let the generals who led the troops at the front take a good look.

In addition to not understanding the queue training, Lord Yuan, who is familiar with the "New Book of Ji Xiao", broke out with outrageous enthusiasm.

From shooting to grappling fighting, as long as it is necessary to practice on the battlefield, everything is done over again. In particular, he is very fond of the three-kilometer obstacle course arranged by Li Xiao, and he believes that this is a magical body forging technique.

Compared with Phi Island, Changxing Island has the advantage of being a large place. The huge arena covers two miles of land, in which soldiers are constantly running, rolling, climbing, crawling, crossing ditches, climbing ropes and ladders to drill holes, and walking on balance beams to climb over obstacles.

The size of the guy with a great body runs around like he was fished out of the water. Looking at the salt on their training uniforms, if they don't work hard, they are talking nonsense with their eyes open.

"The soldiers have practiced hard! This sturdy cotton dress was worn out in more than a month. Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the soldiers who were dressed like flowers, more like soldiers, and sighed.

Li Xiao knew that this was Yuan Chonghuan complaining, and the weaving technology in these years was like this. And the price of a suit of clothes is not cheap, and the female workers in the quilt factory are rushing to work day and night, and they can only change into a suit of clothes in two months now.

Sister Qiao is now the director of the quilt factory, and Ao Canghai can't get it as a training uniform, so it can be seen that this is really out of line.

"The training was a bit harder, so the clothes and shoes wore out a lot. I'm asking Ai Husheng to organize, and he should come in a few days. You can rest assured that you will not let the soldiers go out to fight like this.

If you really go out like this, not only will you lose face, but also mine. We are all face-saving people, but we can't afford to lose this person. ”

"Adults love soldiers like children......."

"Pull it down! We don't like this, these soldiers are bigger than me. In the barracks, you will call me sir. When you get along privately, you can call me Brother Xiao like Lao Ao.

The set in Shanhaiguan, we are not in fashion. ”

It's all a bad habit developed in the bureaucracy, and if you flatter you, you will open your mouth. But it's also understandable, you won't be able to do this in that kind of system, and you won't be able to get over it for years.

"Got it, sir!" Yuan Chonghuan is as good as a stream. The so-called listening to people's advice to eat enough is a Lord who listens to people's advice. Li Xiao likes this character very much!

"Boy, you said there was going to be a war?" Ao Canghai keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes! It's going to war!

It's not possible to always let Nurhachi recuperate in Liaodong, and now I'm ready to tell him that Huang Taiji is in my hands. If you want a son, you will rescue it yourself.

Do you say that Nurhachi, who knows that his son has been kidnapped, will attack Shanhaiguan like crazy? Especially after I heard that Shanhaiguan had just carried out a round of major disarmament. ”

"You're crazy! The 300-mile defense line of Shanhaiguan is only garrisoned by a mere 70,000 people. A sieve-like line of defense can't hold up the Tartars, you know.

Don't blame me for not reminding you, behind Shanhaiguan is the capital. In case the Tartars hit the city of Beijing, those guys in the court will definitely want your head. The factory man surnamed Wei is definitely the first. Ao Canghai's eyes were about to fall out, he didn't understand that at this time, Li Xiao wanted to stimulate Nurhachi for Mao.

"Put it in Shanhaiguan to fight them, that's what that fool Wang Zaijin did. What we have to do now is to move forward.

Shanhaiguan is just the bottom of the entire defense line, and this time we are going to Jinzhou. As long as Jinzhou is stuck, Nurhachi will die if he wants to attack Shanhaiguan.

Even if he slipped over the mountain bag with someone, he came back with something grabbed. Is it possible to go to the mountains and bags?

The most important thing is that Jinzhou has a port. We can rely on the port for supplies, even if Nurhachi does not fight. We're not afraid of him!

Don't worry about Nurhachi blocking the passage between the port and Jinzhou City. If they dare to do this, they will definitely be a target for artillery.

It's September, and the weather is starting to cool down at this time next month. After the grain is harvested, prepare for another month. In November or December, they should attack!

Anyway, Huang Taiji is in our hands, and we have the final say when we want to provoke Nurhachi. Hey! In the first battle of Jinzhou, I want to completely break the backbone of Houjin. ”

"You're talking inside and out, there are a lot of Tartar cavalry. People are not stupid, they can't run if they can't fight? ”

"They can't run, and this time we have cavalry too."

"Cavalry, where did you get the cavalry. Just the fifteen hundred people under Man Gui? I said, you're all right. Even if they could cut it, it would only be 1,500 people.

The cavalry of the Tartars also has at least tens of thousands of people, don't you let them die? ”

"Sent to death? Man Gui's brother, that is, my brother. I'll send them to death? Remember Geritu? ”

"The Mongol head?"

"I asked Master Man to go on a trip to Mongolia and discuss it with Geritu. Although the Mongols have declined, one or two thousand people can still make up for it.

The terms of exchange were glass, matches, and the spirits that the Mongols loved to death. As long as Geritu has enough men to send troops, the distribution rights of these things on the grassland will belong to him.

How much is at stake in this, Geritu will understand.

In addition, I will promise to share the loot with Geritu. Among other things, Jurchen prisoners of war could be slaves. The property of the Jurchens can also be divided into a part of him.

If we do it well this time, we can wipe out most of Nurhachi. The rest of Nurhachi can only run back to Hetuala. Keep being their savages! ”

"Are you sure?"

"Gritu is a businessman, and he knows how to maximize his profits. The Jurchens have always thought about conquering Mongolia, and they have been grabbing pastures with the Mongols on the steppe over the years.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, when we met Gritu. Isn't he also looking for Yuan Yingtai for help?

Now that we send it to the door, there are so many benefits. You will definitely send troops, and besides, how many people you will capture and how much property you will capture. He has a share here, you said that if you were replaced, would you not be tempted? ”

"You kid, count people's hearts to the bone. You're right, Nagritu is a money-seeker. If you do that, I think this guy will say yes nine times out of nine.

As long as we have cavalry, the Tartars will not be a problem at all. "Ao Canghai still understands the soldiers he trained.

This army of 5,500 people dare not say anything else. It is no problem to sweep the Ming Dynasty, and to deal with the Tartars, it depends on the Tartar cavalry. It comes and goes like the wind, and you can run if you can't beat it.

Now that you have the help of the Mongol cavalry, even if you can't beat it, you don't want to run away.

Li Xiao and Ao Canghai spoke, Yuan Chonghuan could only nod when he stood on the side, and there was no chance to speak at all. In the final analysis, he is still a little restrained about Li Xiao.

In these years, there are not many good officials who can devote themselves to the people and pull down their faces to bow down to Li Xiao. Even if there is no high evaluation in history, Li Xiao will look at Yuan Chonghuan differently.

Yuan Chonghuan's heart is very complicated now, he knows the combat effectiveness of this army better than Ao Canghai. For the past few months, he has been eating and living with these soldiers all day long. has an unparalleled affection for this army trained by his own hands.

However, the training method of "Ji Xiao Xinshu" also made Yuan Chonghuan the most hated person in the barracks.

When many soldiers mentioned Yuan Chonghuan, they gritted their teeth with hatred. If this product appears on the battlefield, the chance of being shot by someone must be very high.

After only two days on Changxing Island, Li Xiao heard of Yuan Chonghuan's several nicknames. One of the loudest is that it is forced!

Although he is a southerner, Lord Yuan still knows that this is not a good word. But he still didn't bother with those big-headed soldiers, even if he accidentally heard them. It's just a kick!

If this is in Shanhaiguan, the head will definitely be hung on the flagpole and so dried.

Although Yuan Chonghuan didn't speak, he was also enthusiastic in his heart. didn't hide such a confidential thing from himself, which shows that Li Xiao really doesn't treat him as an outsider.

"Old Yuan, you may have to take some risks when the time comes." As soon as the conversation turned, Li Xiao suddenly spoke to Yuan Chonghuan.

"But according to your lordship's orders, as long as you can save the people of Liaodong from fire and water. Yuan did not hesitate to do this! ”

"Don't let you go to death, Jinzhou City is still very broken. It's September, and you'll follow me back to Shanhaiguan tomorrow.

I'll give you 30,000 horses, and my subordinates have Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and He Kegang. You need to march into Jinzhou City immediately, not only to occupy Jinzhou. Moreover, it is necessary to ensure that the reinforcement of the Jinzhou city wall is completed before the winter freezes.

Because in the future, you 30,000 people may be attacked by the Houjin army. You have to pretend that you can't fight hard, and the city may be broken at any time. I'll give you grenades, they're very useful when defending a city.

Whether you can annihilate Nurhachi this time depends on whether you act realistically or not. ”

Ao Canghai's face was a little ugly, Li Xiao obviously asked Yuan Chonghuan to take the soldiers of the Liao army to be bait.

This bait is very risky, you must know that Nurhachi is definitely at the level of a great white shark. If something goes wrong, the bait of more than 30,000 people is likely to be swallowed in one bite. When the time comes, Yuan Chonghuan can't even find a grave to cry.

"Brother Xiao, you ......!" An old comrade-in-arms for several months, Ao Canghai wanted to say something good for Yuan Chonghuan. After all, this guy fooled in on his own.

"Your Excellency commanded, and the subordinate officials should do their best. Not only me, Yuan Chonghuan, but even Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, He Kegang and others, the lower officials also dare to protect it.

Over the years, people have been fleeing back to Shanhaiguan from the territory of Houjin, and the Jurchen Tartars have done things in Liaodong. It's not human!

Let the people of the Ming Dynasty be ravaged, and the Liao army should die. When the battle came to this point, no one in the Liao army was innocent.

Even if the adults are misappointed, we will not be able to wait for the adults to fall into the siege of the Tartars. Yuan will also live and die with Jinzhou together with the soldiers of the Liao army.

It's just that there is one thing that requires adults to agree. Yuan Chonghuan bowed deeply to Li Xiao, and his attitude was extremely solemn.

"Say!"

Yuan knew that although this time it was not a life of death, it was also quite risky. Don't ask the adult to have other promises, only the adults need to promise Yuan.

As long as the Ming officers and soldiers who fled back from Jinzhou at that time came, they would be killed and decided. ”

Yuan Chonghuan's two sentences were sonorous and powerful, which made Ao Canghai and Li Xiao stunned. didn't expect this kind of thing, and Yuan Chonghuan didn't shirk it.

Now Li Xiao is a little embarrassed, and the determination to live and die with Jinzhou is not something that anyone can have.

Jinzhou is stuck on the road leading to Shanhaiguan in eastern Liaodong, and Nurhachi knows that his son was caught by Li Xiao and sent troops. will definitely take people to storm Jinzhou!

At this time, Jinzhou City is still a dilapidated city, and everyone knows what virtue can be repaired in two months.

With such a city defense, it resisted the attack of the Jurchens. Everyone knows the risks here.

is willing to take risks like this, Li Xiao and Ao Canghai both wrote a big word in their hearts.

"Lord Yuan!" Li Xiao bowed deeply to Yuan Chonghuan.

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty, if they are all like you. Not to mention the Tartars, even if they are visitors for nine days, there is no way to defeat our Chinese nation. said that the alien Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand, so he simply said that he was a visitor from the Nine Days. This time, Li Xiao truly identified with Yuan Chonghuan from the bottom of his heart.

"The battle has reached this point, and the only way to serve the country is to serve the country with your body." Yuan Chonghuan, a bastard, actually received a big stab from Li Xiao. What a mess of impassioned words!

Even if this matter is decided, it will be after the promise that Ao Canghai will be served in winter next month. Li Xiao left Changxing Island with Yuan Chonghuan, and the five-masted ship captured by the Dutch sailed at full speed. Quickly transport the two people to Shanhaiguan!

On the warship, Yuan Chonghuan admired Li Xiao's five-masted ship. When I heard that it was captured from the red-haired ghost, I was even more excited.

Yuan Chonghuan was born in Dongguan, Guangdong, and grew up in Tengzhou, Guangxi.

Although these two places are not good places these days, they are very close to Macau.

These red-haired ghosts usually dress up like dogs to do business. But when I got to sea, I just showed my gold teeth to you. The ship's boss, who treats you like a brother, may immediately turn his face.

They will kill the owner of the goods and swallow large quantities of goods and money.

After so many years, they have become familiar with the matter of black eating black. Along the coast of Guangzhou, I don't know how many Ming ships suffered from them.

Now that the tools of the crime have been confiscated by Li Xiao, the people must have suffered heavy casualties. For the red-haired ghost to be unlucky, Yuan Chonghuan raised his hands in approval.

Li Xiao can be seen that this is a standard nationalist. As long as the Chinese people are bullied by outsiders, he will count this account on his head. It was decided that it was not strong enough to protect the people in need of rescue.

Now Li Xiao has given him an army, not only can he take revenge, but he can also hate!
