Not only Yicheng doubted, but Cui Chengxiu also doubted. The actual number of Jurchen Eight Banners is actually not a secret, three hundred people are a cow. The five oxen are recorded as a Jiala, and the Wujiala is a solid mountain. This number is dead, and the difference is not large.

200,000 ......! Do you believe the number of people that Nurhachi blows out?

"Tell me, is this piece real?" Cui Chengxiu suspected that Wei Zhongxian didn't know whether it was true or not. Due to the limitation of education level, Wei Gonggong has always adopted the opinions of the masses on this kind of matter. Especially Comrade Choi Chengxiu's opinion, who made him the secretary of the military department.

According to the understanding of Wei Gonggong, all the soldiers in the Ming Dynasty should be under the management of the Ministry of War. When it comes to being a soldier, don't ask him, who do you ask?

"Factory father! The cantata can only be true, and it must be true. Since the war between our Ming Dynasty and the Tartars, we have always lost our troops and lost our generals. This time, it was hard to hold Jinzhou City, which is an inspiring thing. So, it has to be true. ”

"Just to be inspiring?" Wei Liangqing, who was beside Wei Zhongxian, picked up an orange and peeled it slowly.

"Mao Wenlong and Li Xiao were recommended to His Majesty by the factory father, and they won the battle, and the factory company also recommended meritorious service."

"Hmm!" When Cui Chengxiu said this, Wei Zhongxian immediately nodded.

It's a matter of inspiration, and the latter sentence is the point. At the beginning, Li Xiao made trouble in the capital, and even Shuntianfu was served. It's not that he Wei Zhongxian has bailed him out, and he also has face in front of the emperor when he talks about this matter.

"Let's go into the palace and report this happy event to Your Majesty."

"It's just that there are people in the military department, and there are people in the Yushitai in Jinzhou. Once there is a difference in the number of enemies destroyed, ......! Wei Liangqing was a little hesitant, he knew too well what the generals on the front line were. Kill one head, and they dare to say five.

If the Ministry of War really asks people to investigate, they will cut off the heads of the common people and pretend to be the heads of the Tartars. It has become an open secret to do this, and there is a special word called killing good and risking merit.

"That's Li Xiao's problem, I think he should be able to handle it. Anyway, it's a big win that can't be run away. This time, in front of His Majesty, the factory will definitely show a big face. ”

After listening to Cui Chengxiu's words, Wei Liangqing did not speak. This is indeed Li Xiao's problem, since he dares to report like this, he has to come up with so many brains to make up the number. It doesn't matter if you kill the common people, or if you really go to trouble the Tartars, anyway, everyone will be happy if they are on the right head.

Li Xiao is also worried about the problem of his head now, and Ao Canghai accompanies Li Xiao to walk on the sea ice.

This place is so weird that the people and horses are frozen in ice. Many people's bodies still struggled, and their hideous expressions looked so exaggerated, like lifelike statues.

couldn't stand the edification of realistic themes, Li Xiao turned his head and walked back.

"I heard from the captives that Yue Tuo was also among them. I just don't know which one is him. His head is very valuable, and he just can't find it. "Ao Canghai can't help it. There were not many captives, and a total of two people were fished out who did not freeze to death, and now they have a fever on the kang, and they don't know if they can live.

"It's not easy to find Yue Tuo, and now it's not realistic to fish up the body. At the beginning of spring next year, the corpses were almost eaten by fish and shrimp. Even if you don't finish it, you won't get any better if you are frozen in ice.

Get one here at random, let's just say it's Yue Tuo's head. It's all right! ”

"Okay?" Ao Canghai's eyes widened, and his mouth said a new word created by Li Xiao. Anyway, whatever Li Xiao says, it is a symbol of fashion. In these years, Li Xiao is definitely a fashion pioneer.

"Rest assured, no one will make any irresponsible comments. Wei Zhongxian wished that we had won a big battle, and he would show his face in front of the emperor Lao'er.

Besides, these tartars all grow a virtue. Look at the grinning teeth, they all look like fucking ones. The gang of fools in the military department, no one has ever seen Yue Tuo.

What does Yue Tuo look like, do you know? ”

"Also, let's kill Baylor, the owner of the Red Banner Banner. This is the largest official killed since the war with the Tartars. I heard that the banner owner Baylor was wearing jade plates, and I really wanted to see what that thing looked like. ”

"Huang Taiji has it on him, just find a jade craftsman to carve one for him. This kind of thing, don't ask too much. I don't believe it, the savages who just came out of Changbai Mountain also know what a good jade is? ”

The place where jade is produced in eastern Liaodong is Xiuyan. It is estimated that these Baylors or something, the jade they got is Xiuyu. It's a big thing, so it's nice to get one or two, it's very easy. I didn't see the later generations, the train stations were sold on the street.

Ao Canghai looked up to Li Xiao's foolish kung fu mountains, and his admiration was like a surging river.

"Yue Tuo's matter is considered to be fooled by you, but what about the gun. I don't even understand what you're talking about. Do you expect the soldier to understand? Now they all say that you offended the crooked necked mother, anyway, you can do it. Such rumors circulate in the army, and morale will be very problematic. ”

Li Xiao straightened his teeth, this is a big problem. It is obviously unrealistic to engage in popular science with soldiers, and only those who are soldiers do not care what is thermal expansion and cold contraction. It is still the Ming Dynasty, and superstition and swords are the main theme of this world.

Science......! Let's talk about it in two or three hundred years.

They are all soldiers, and Li Xiao naturally knows what it means once the soldiers no longer trust the guy in their hands.

"You don't know when the Tartars rushed over. I'm going crazy, but there are only two or three out of ten guns that can be fired. With such a density of firepower, it was simply impossible to block the charge of the Tartar cavalry.

If it weren't for Brother Hugh's timely artillery support from the sea, it is estimated that Juehua Island would have been occupied by the Tartars by now. Thinking about that night, Ao Canghai's heart twitched. It's too dangerous, just a hundred and ten paces away. The cavalry of the Red Banner will rush in, and even if Li Xiu blows up the sea ice, it will be useless.

The soldiers who trained themselves knew by themselves, and they basically didn't train any grappling and fighting after a year's training. Let a peasant become a soldier, and learn to queue up to waste the old nose energy.

They also had to be taught infantry tactics and how to maintain their guns. The most important thing is shooting training, and Li Xiao is convinced that good shooters are fed with bullets. Over the course of a year, each soldier's shoulders were calloused.

Such an army and the notoriously fierce Jurchen cavalry fought hand-to-hand, which was simply death.

"Actually, I said earlier that it is more reliable to fight a war or artillery. If you don't have the red-haired people in the war, trebuchets are also a good choice.

Not now, the damned red-haired man will definitely teach the Tartars the art of making cannons. It is estimated that we will soon face a Tartar soldier with gunpowder and cannons. ”

"That's your business, I'm only in charge of fighting anyway." Ao Canghai glanced at Li Xiao, being the boss has the trouble of being the boss, and now Ao Canghai has some sympathy for Li Xiao.

Now no matter who has a problem that can't be solved, they will habitually push it to Li Xiao. Anyway, Lao Tzu just listens to your orders, and as for how to solve the problem, it is your responsibility.

In fact, this is not because Ao Canghai and Man Gui shirked, but because of the limitations of knowledge and insight. Both of them know that their own ideas or brute force will make things worse, not better.

Li Xiao scratched his head, the legend of the crooked neck old mother actually exists now. His dojo is not far away, it is in Yiwu Lu Mountain, which is not far from Jinzhou.

It is the result of a lack of knowledge, and myths and stories are far more recognized by the broad masses of toiling people than scientific knowledge. Shandong's soldiers believe in the legend of Liaodong, which is not unusual.

We have to find a way, otherwise rumors will spread in the army. The soldiers no longer trusted their weapons, and the battle was not fought.

"Oh, yes! Huang Taiji wants to see you. ”

"What did he see me doing?" Li Xiao actually wanted to meet Huang Taiji and listen to what Ao Canghai said. Turn around and walk towards the island.

"I don't know, anyway, after the battle of Juehua Island. This guy is coiled on the kang, and it seems that he wants to collapse the kang. ”

On the island, Ao Canghai left on his own. Li Xiao was escorted by roast chicken and others and came to the small courtyard of Huang Taiji.

Someone must have reported the news, and Huang Taiji was waiting in the courtyard with his hands in his hands. Seeing Li Xiao, he smiled and nodded, and lifted the door curtain with his own hands to invite Li Xiao into the house.

There is nothing to doubt about your own land. But Li Xiao entered the house, and the roast chicken still ran in first.

On the kang table was a pot of hot tea, steaming. Huang Taiji didn't speak, and after making a gesture of please, he went straight to the kang.

It is said that the three treasures of the Northeast, ginseng, mink, and ura grass. What kind of thing is Wula grass Li Xiao didn't know, but later Ao Canghai found it for Li Xiao, and Li Xiao knew that it was stuffed in his shoes. It is said to have the function of nourishing feet and wicking away sweat!

However, in Li Xiao's view, the biggest treasure in the Northeast is this hot kang head.

In the winter, there is no more comfortable place than a hot kang head.

took off his heavy military coat and handed it to the roast chicken, and Li Xiao also went to the kang. The fire kang burned hot, and the cold ass felt warm all of a sudden.

"Please!" Without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, the emperor picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Li Xiao.

"What's the matter with me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you."

"Oh!"

"That day, when Juehua Island was fighting, I stood on the roof of this house and watched. When it was so dangerous, there were still ten soldiers guarding me. I know that if the Eight Banners break through Ao Ye's defense, I will be killed by them as soon as possible.

Seeing that the cavalry of the red flag had fallen short, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad at that moment. Well, now that both joy and sadness have passed. ”

"That's it?"

"I want to go back to Shenyang." Huang Taiji suddenly came out with such a sentence.

"Back to Shenyang?" The Han Chinese slaves that Nurhachi promised to deliver were only more than 30,000 people, and only half of the silver was paid. Huang Taiji made this request, it was too difficult for the kidnappers.

"I watched the big battle that night, and the two red flags suffered heavy casualties. It is said that Yue Tuo also fell into the sea and died tragically, so it can be said that the two red flags are basically abolished.

The cavalry of the two blue flags, did not participate in the battle. This shows that they also suffered heavy losses in Jinzhou.

Now among the eight flags, the two yellow flags with the smallest loss are the two. The other is the two white flags led by me and Dudu.

If I don't go back, the two yellow flags will be dominant. The end result was that Dorgon became the next Great Khan.

Mr. Li, I can tell you very responsibly. Dorgon is your real enemy, and he's only fourteen years old. But I am ashamed of his strategic ability.

Father Khan is very old, and he has suffered defeat here. The two yellow banners were in the hands of the Dorgon brothers, Azig and Dord. I was afraid that something would happen when I returned to Shenyang. Especially when the losses of each flag are huge, and the two yellow flags are dominant. ”

"What's in it for me?" Li Xiao nodded and asked seriously.

"If I go back and become a Great Khan, I will order the flags to return to Hetuara and Ulanqab. In his lifetime, my emperor Taiji will never step into the realm of the Han people. ”

"Then you'll have to sweat first, as you say. With so many brothers to help Dorgon, how can you be sure that you will be the next Great Khan? ”

"Huh! The Eight Banners seem to you to be monolithic, but in fact, they have their own mountains and contradictions. Mang Gurtai, as well as Amin and Dudu, will never agree to Dolgon as Khan.

Because of their mother, as well as Chu Ying's death, they are more or less related to Abahai. No matter which of Abahai's sons became Great Khan, they would not end well. ”

"You don't seem to be talking about Daizen?" Li Xiao keenly felt that Huang Taiji had missed an extremely important person.

"Dai Shan......! The second brother will not support Dolgon, or because of Abahai. Huang Taiji suddenly became a drifting eye, dodging Li Xiao's eyes.

"Why?"

"This is a secret of our Jurchens, please forgive me for not being able to tell you. Also, Dai Shan will definitely not become the next Great Khan. It's also a secret, and it's not convenient for me to tell you.

Mang Gurtai's personality is too hot-tempered, and Amin is a descendant of his uncle Shulhaqi and is not eligible to inherit the throne. As for Du Du, he can only be regarded as a grandchild, and he is not qualified.

Therefore, the only successors to the throne can be the three sons born to me and Abahai. But among the eight flags, there will be six flags to support me. When the Eight Kings discuss politics, I will gain an absolute advantage.

If you continue to imprison me, you'll end up taking advantage of Dorgon. You'll face a fierce opponent with the help of the Red-Haired Man. There will also be firearms, although not as powerful as yours. ”

"This time I defeated the Eight Banners, how do you think I can't capture Liaoyang and Shenyang?"

"It's very simple, I've been in Phi Dao, Chang Qingdao, and Juehua Island. With your current ability, it is actually the limit to raise these thousands of soldiers. Your soldiers cost money, really money. And you still don't trust the Liao army, from the fact that you don't give them artillery is an example.

You and I both know in our hearts that with these thousands of soldiers, we want to destroy Houjin in a short period of time. It is even said that it is very difficult to conquer Liaoyang and Shenyang. If you had the ability, you would have done it a long time ago.

But you have to think about it, Dorgon's Houjin. They will quickly learn the knowledge of the red-haired people, once they have mastered the secrets of firearms. You need more troops, but I don't know if you have the financial resources to support an army of tens of thousands of people.

According to your philosophy of governing the army, it takes a lot of money, very, very much money. With your current business, it's hard to feed so many people! Very difficult. ”

Damn it! Who the hell locked Huang Taiji in these places, such a thing has long been calculated in his heart. That's it, and it's fucking that the talent and resourcefulness are not as good as Dolgon's. What kind of fucking demon would that be Dorgon?

Although he had never met Dorgon, Li Xiao decided that there was one. That is the guy who left a name in history, and he is definitely a good man and a woman.
