Chapter 157
"You kid is really a bad billet, Zhao Shujiao This kind of problem, you actually solved it in just a few days. The old man is very suspicious, what is growing in your head? Mao Wenlong walked in front of Li Xiao, and had the urge to hold Li Xiao's head and take a good look.
But seeing the eyes like a roast chicken wolf, Mao Wenlong immediately gave up this idea.
"Five thousand taels of silver were smashed out, and Cui Yingyuan still didn't do it obediently? Besides, Zhao led to teach those things, and checked them one by one. His butt is not clean, and he dares to cause trouble everywhere. The kid is just buying Cui Yingyuan to enforce the law impartially!
This is the unspoken rule of doing things, and the clear rules are the whole person. Dare to argue with Lao Tzu, you can't kill him. Li Xiao shook his clothes, and said indifferently while picking chestnuts.
"Huh! It's just that the land outside this Shanhaiguan is also the land of the Ming Dynasty in principle. You just give it like this, I'm afraid that the officials will sue ...... in the future! Mao Wenlong said with a sneer.
In his opinion, Li Xiao is still too young. Such a thing has to be reported to the imperial court. With the approval of the imperial court, it is reasonable to do anything.
"This is also something that can't be helped, report to the imperial court. Hell, I don't know when I'll be able to approve it, and those GIs aren't that easy to coax. If there was a mutiny, I wouldn't have been able to kill them.
In the final analysis, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Although the war is not good, it is not good to be a general with troops. A soldier bears a nest of bears. Counting on Zhao Shujiao to bring out any good soldiers, it is better to farm honestly. In a few years, you can still hand over money and grain to the court. This is also considered to be the best use of talents! ”
"Okay! You kid has wrists, and the old man has obeyed you. It's just a mere five thousand taels of silver, and it may not kill him Zhao Shujiao. If he comes out of prison......! The first one is to seek revenge on you. ”
"Just him? Let's wait for him to come out of prison when he is killed, a general soldier who has no backers in the court. Will you let him go when you are a brocade guard? Eat and squeeze his oil and water dry, and then eat dry and wipe it clean and blacken. Murder and extermination, these guys are doing it easily.
Even if Zhao Shujiao's family knew about it, they could only suffer dumb losses. What can they do with Jinyiwei, and they are in a hurry to clean up with your family. ”
"Ruthless! You kid is a wolf with his tail on. Jinzhou affairs, what kind of charter do you have? Do you really want Yuan Chonghuan to stay there? When they entered Jinzhou, it was no different from sending a wolf to his mouth. Mao Wenlong gave a thumbs up and praised Li Xiao. But he soon became worried about Yuan Chonghuan in Jinzhou.
"It was for them to send it into the wolf's mouth, and this time they were given five hundred muskets and more than two thousand grenades. These things are sharp weapons for defending the city!
What's more, they also have trebuchets that can throw gunpowder packs. Although Daming's gunpowder is not very good, it is still very lethal when thrown out of a medicine bag of thirty or fifty catties. I don't believe that the leather armor of the Tartars can withstand the steel balls and shrapnel scattered in all directions. ”
"Huh! You give Yuan Chonghuan their arms, and it's no problem to hold on for two days. If it lasts for three days, then it will be filled with human lives. As long as they resist for a day, you can calmly land on the coast of Jinzhou. Cut off the retreat of the Tartars in one fell swoop, and the Tartars want to break through your defenses. It's a good loss of some manpower, and this trick is quite poisonous.
Forget it, the old man doesn't worry about this. Even if it's, you can't afford it. Still sitting in this Shanhaiguan, you won the battle, and the old man followed you. If you lose the battle, the old man will be unlucky with him. ”
Li Xiao put down the chestnuts in his hand and looked at Mao Wenlong carefully.
The gray-haired Mao Wenlong, standing under the willow tree, is dressed in fluttering clothes, much like an old pedant. This person will become a fine when he is old, and Li Xiao now feels that this is not false at all.
Just through the arms he gave to Yuan Chonghuan, he could see his campaign concept. This is a human, this sticky hair is a monkey.
Yuan Chonghuan did not have the slightest consciousness of being betrayed, and took Zu Dashou and others to Jinzhou day and night march.
After the ransacking of the Tartars, the city of Jinzhou has become an empty city. The city was littered with dilapidated houses, and in some places the bones of dead men could be found. The hole in the city gate was black and rumbling, and the broken city gate that had been burned by the fire fell to one side.
Nurhachi and his sons are very capable of fighting, but they are severely incapable of governing the country. In addition to Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun and other cities that have been taken down completely.
The remaining cities that were breached were all looted and abandoned, and Liaodong was originally vast and sparsely populated. The Tartars couldn't take care of them at all, so they simply killed the old and weak. The rest of the young men were packed and taken away, this is the best slave. For them, slaves are also property!
Seeing the dilapidated Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou's eyes turned red. He was born and raised in Jinzhou, and many people in his family did not escape when the Tartars broke the city. Now I don't know where I was looted by the Tartars, and I think of my loved ones who were killed and enslaved. Zu Dashou will feel that the blood all over his body is on the door of his head!
The officers and soldiers consciously cleaned the streets, and some veterans found the former barracks. The house was almost burned down, and you could see the blue sky outside when you stood inside.
Autumn is crisp, and now the weather is neither hot nor cold. The day was a good day, but the mood of the soldiers, including the officers, was not good.
With the army, he brought more than 10,000 people, and since he set off from Shanhaiguan, Yuan Chonghuan has no time to be idle. Especially when it came to camping, it was all over the camp. Let all the soldiers see that this commander is right there for them.
A person who can't be idle himself will naturally not let others be idle.
Just arrived in Jinzhou, and there was no time for Zu Dashou to hang himself. Everyone threw themselves into the brick-laying operation!
In this place of Jinzhou, the Tartars just burned down the city gates. The walls are fairly intact, at least there are no gaps. This gave Yuan Chonghuan a lot of comfort, and he originally thought that it would take more effort to build the city wall. Well, now there is no need to build walls. Just find a few gates of wood!
Because the amount of work was sharply reduced, Yuan Chonghuan Jue decided to build an urn city outside the city gate. As long as there is an urn city, the city gate can be well protected. Moreover, this thing of Urn City can also kill and injure a large number of enemy troops.
Originally, I was worried that the Tartars would come to harass me, but I didn't expect the Tartars to seem to have seen it. Just came over a few waves of rangers, stood on the hillside and watched for a while, and then left.
Yuan Chonghuan, who was trembling, couldn't sleep well every night. When there was a fart, he would get up and look at it. Tartars are very good at night attacks, and if they take advantage of the darkness of the night to be taken care of, then they will die without redemption.
It's not that Nurhachi doesn't want to kill these bedbugs under his nose, it's just that Daishan's words made Nurhachi change his mind.
"Father Khan, it's a good thing that the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent troops to Jinzhou City. Let them build a city there, until they have set up a city. Move all the grain, grass and silver to Jinzhou City, and then move some people over.
When that time comes, we'll give them a roll and a bun. Dai Shan stood in front of Nurhachi and made an impassioned speech, foaming at the stars.
"Second brother, this allowed them to repair the city wall. It's hard for us to attack the city, and we took Jinzhou City last time. Brother, I lost a lot of manpower in my blue flag, and Niu Lu alone was wounded three. One of them is still crippled!
Great Khan, I suggest going and taking Jinzhou now. Don't let Daming set up such a nail before Shanhaiguan. After Dai Shan finished speaking, Amin immediately stood up and objected.
Amin's friend is Mang Gurtai, and for this powerful heir to the throne, it is natural to run on it. His identity is very embarrassing, and the Eight Banners Banner Lord Beile is the son of Nurhachi. Only he, Amin, is the son of Nurhachi's younger brother Shulhaqi.
The gap in status made it impossible for him to inherit the throne. Therefore, he formed an alliance with the Mang Gurtai of the Blue Banner. The current Eight Banners are two blue flags against two emperors. The two white flags stood aside to watch the excitement, and the two yellow flags were in the hands of Azig and Dord, but Nurhachi obeyed his will.
Now that Daishan is shining in front of Nurhachi, Amin naturally won't let him be beautiful.
"Huh! Brother Amin, if we used to want to break through the city wall, it was really difficult. The soldiers set up ladders and pushed heavy siege engines.
But this time, no, I've already contacted the red-haired man. They are willing to sell us the Franc cannon, but the price has not yet been negotiated. Dai Shan waited for Amin to speak, and when he saw him stand up, he immediately laughed in his heart like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken.
"You're in touch with the red-haired man? No matter how much money it costs, you have to buy that Franc cannon. Before the others could speak, Nurhachi had already stood up.
Of course, Nurhachi knew the power of the Franc cannon, which was infinitely powerful when he faced the Japanese samurai in Korea.
Such a big iron ball, even if it is a powerful city gate, it will be rotten after a few shots. All along, Nurhachi was thinking about how to get a few Furlong cannons.
Originally, there were a few statues in Liaoyang City, but they were later replaced by Li Xiao with Jue Luobai Mountain. Nurhachi really hurt for a few days, but there was nothing she could do for the sake of her brother.
Now that there is a chance to regain possession of the Franc cannon, where can Nurhachi still care about the price.
He is willing to buy it with gold!
Houjin is not short of gold, but it is cannons.
"Huh! When I go back, I will contact the red-haired man and complete the matter of the Franc cannon as soon as possible, so that my father Khan can rest assured. "Dai Shan's big package has been accepted.
"Good! If you do this, you will be rewarded for doing it well. "Nurhachi is still relieved about this second son, since the death of the eldest son Chu Ying. Nurhachi has always been paying attention to this second son, and now it seems that he is not bad, and he has not followed the old path of the boss Chu Ying.
"Huh!" Daishan saluted again, and when he stood up, he smiled mysteriously at Mang Gurtai and Amin.
"Let the matter of Jinzhou be left like this, let the Ming people build the city. As long as we have the red-haired man's Franc cannon, we can break Jinzhou City again.
Li Yongfang's report on the disarmament along the Daming Mountain Customs is true, as long as we eliminate the defenders of Jinzhou. Or kill the reinforcements to reinforce Jinzhou, and the Shanhaiguan defense line of the Ming Dynasty will be full of holes. At that time, we will be able to go around Beijing. Hearing the good news of Daishan, Nurhachi was visibly happy. The big mouth is wide enough to see the little tongue!
Amin and Mang Gultai were so angry that their heads were smoking, but they couldn't help it. People have a way to get in touch with red-haired people, but they don't have this way. Go back and mobilize those fools under your command, and let's find a way to see if we can buy arms.
"Father Ma, I've been going to the kingdom of Wa for some days. Why didn't any news come back, is something wrong? Or, let's let Li Yongfang find it? Instead of Huang Taiji in charge of the Zhengbai Banner affairs, Haoge, who was only fourteen years old, suddenly spoke.
He came to this meeting today to beg his grandfather to send someone to find Huang Taiji in the Wa Kingdom. This Huang Taiji has been gone for more than half a year, and he hasn't even sent a letter. It stands to reason that it shouldn't, and the whole white flag is crazy.
"Hmmm! Starling has been gone for some days, father Khan, we should send someone to find starling. Dolgon, who was sitting beside Nurhachi, suddenly opened his mouth.
Dolgon, who was a year younger than his nephew Hauge, and was not the banner owner, should not have been here. But his old lady Abahai was favored, and Nurhachi also looked at this fourteenth son differently. So, he also appeared at this meeting. It's just that usually he doesn't speak, and others don't pay attention to him.
"Hmmm! Huang Taiji has been gone here for six or seven months, and he should send someone to look for him. A dignified banner lord Baylor, always staying in the Wa Kingdom, what's going on. Mang Gurtai and Amin looked at each other and said.
It's a good thing to be able to give your competitors some eye medicine at this time.
"The eighth brother has been gone for too long this time, and the flag affairs will be handed over to Hauge, what flag affairs can he take care of as a half-old child." Dai Shan glanced at Hauge, his face full of disdain.
"That's it!" Yue Tuo said nonchalantly, without even glancing at this cousin. He is also the owner of the Red Flag Banner, and Haoge is just in charge of the flag affairs for his father Emperor Taiji, and he doesn't even have the title of Baylor.
"Ahem!" Seeing that there was a tendency to gossip below, Nurhachi coughed. Immediately everyone stood still, and said no more.
"The eighth child has been gone for six or seven months, so I should send someone to take a look. Let Li Yongfang send someone to find out what happened. The place of the Wa Kingdom is going to cross the sea, but there is nothing wrong with it. "For this eighth son, Nurhachi is also very important.
When Huang Taiji was only twelve years old, Nurhachi put him in charge of household affairs. At that time, Xiaohuang Taiji managed the huge mansion in an orderly manner. Since then, Nurhachi has held Huang Taiji in high esteem.
"All flags should take advantage of the autumn to prepare more grain and grass. This year, we have concluded an agreement with the Ming Dynasty, and we have deliberately paralyzed the Ming Dynasty in the past few months. Just wait for winter to come, let's launch another attack. This time, we must break through the Shanhaiguan defense line.
Even if you can't capture the capital, the capital is surrounded by the industries of court officials, and they are all rich. ”
