"Where's Mang Gurtai?! Tell him to get out of here! ”

In Fushun City, when Hu Erhan and others successfully entered the garrison of the Ming army with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji who were lying on the cart, everyone began to scold like crazy.

In their opinion, the reason why the Jin army suffered such heavy losses was because of Mang Gurtai's breach of the covenant, or retreating without a fight.

Hu Erhan, Yanguli and others scolded, and the Zhenglan Banner Jia La, who stayed in Fushun City, led people forward, and then knelt on the ground and replied:

"Darhan, the Ming army gathered 60,000 troops at the Yahu Pass, the first pass was broken, and my master led the troops to help Xingjing after learning about it!"

Darhan was Nurhachi's edict to Huerhan, and when Huerhan heard that the first pass of the Raven Pass had been breached, he instantly understood why Mang Gurtai led the army to withdraw.

Hu Erhan naturally knew the importance of Xingjing to the Jin army, but he knew that the Jin army had lost so badly in this battle, and he had to find someone responsible.

This time in Liao, not only did they not succeed in eating any of the soldiers and horses of the Ming army after the division of troops, but they lost tens of thousands of troops, all of which had to be blamed for Mang Gurtai.

"Ahem—"

Suddenly, at this time, Nurhachi, who was in a coma at the earliest, woke up, his complexion was pale, and he was lying on the cart, with a slight sensation in his thighs, but when he moved slightly, he felt a pain in his heart.

"Have you arrived in Fushun......

Nurhachi moved slightly, and the pain in his leg made him sweat all over his body, but he still insisted on asking.

"Great Khan, it's time to Fushun, it's just ......"

"Say!"

Huerhan and the others didn't know what to say, and it wasn't until Nurhachi questioned them that they told the truth.

When Nurhachi heard that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had been lost, and that the first pass had been breached, the depression accumulated in his chest made him unable to breathe for a while, compared to the physical pain.

At this time, he no longer had the energy to blame Mang Gurtai, because Mang Gurtai did the right thing.

Hetuara is the old nest of the Jin army, not to mention the craftsmen and food, and if the family members of the Eight Banners there are captured, it is enough to tear the Jin country apart.

Once Hetuara is breached, the Jin Kingdom will follow in the footsteps of the Northern Yuan and become a nomadic tribe that cannot even make an iron pot by itself.

"What about Huang Taiji...... "Nurhachi did not give the first order, but inquired about Huang Taiji's situation.

In response, Hu Erhan looked at the cart next to him.

Nurhachi followed his gaze, and on the two carts next to him, Huang Taiji's chest rose and fell, and he could see that he was still alive, but judging from his face, the injuries were very serious......

On the board car next to Huang Taiji, Du Du had already shown an abnormally white color, and some dark red and dark purple marks even appeared on some joints.

"Heralds, Manggultai and Derge, lead everything in Hetuala, and raise an army to withdraw to Huifa City."

Nurhachi did not have time to grieve, and with a pale face and beads of sweat on his face, he uttered this sentence intermittently, and then ordered:

"Ordered Daishan to withdraw to Tieling, and Yue Tuo was stationed in Fushun."

"If the Ming army comes to attack the city, they need to let them break the city walls before they can withdraw."

"Dai Shan led the people, horses, and livestock of Tieling and Kaiyuan to immediately harvest the grain, and the grain that could not be harvested was burned, and the army withdrew to Wuye Wuwei ......"

"Yue Tuo garrisoned and retreated to Fushun, Salhu City, Jiefan City and other cities, and retreated to Huifa City......"

After saying a lot of arrangements in one breath, Nurhachi almost couldn't catch his breath, and after taking several big breaths in a row, he continued to bear the pain, his eyes widened and said:

"All the men and horses seriously injured in this battle will be evacuated to Huifa City......"

"Great Khan, you don't need to say it, the minions know how to do it." Huerhan replied with uneasiness, but Nurhachi glanced sideways at the unconscious Huang Taiji and said:

"If Huang Taiji wakes up, let him temporarily supervise the country, if he can't wake up, let Dai Shan supervise the country ......"

“……”

After saying the order of Huang Taiji to become a prisoner, the seriously injured Nurhachi closed his eyes and didn't want to say another word, but it was his last sentence that made the faces of the people around him change greatly.

Around him, at this time, there were four people, including Yanguli, Huerhan, Abatai, and Zilharang.

Among these four people, Yanguli did not easily stand in line because he saw the fate of Chu Ying and Dai Shan, so he was neutral.

Hu Erhan, Zilharang, and Yue Tuo, who organized the withdrawal of troops on the south bank of the Hunhe River, were all close to Huang Taiji, so the two of them were very happy about Nurhachi's choice, but their faces were still very sad.

Excluding these three people, the one with the biggest change in his heart is Abatai.

As the seventh son of Nurhachi, Abatai participated in the war earlier than his younger brothers because of his age advantage, and made contributions earlier, so Nurhachi still valued him more seriously.

However, due to her mother's humble status, she is just a Baylor at the moment, and her seats on weekdays are even lower than those of Zhuhe Shuo Baylor.

Seeing that his Khan Ama would rather give the position of prisoner to a Huang Taiji who didn't know if he could survive, and was unwilling to say a word to himself, Abatai's heart suddenly rose with resentment.

It's just that Hu Erhan and the others are here, and he doesn't dare to attack, so he can only keep his breath down.

But after glancing at the crowd, Hu Erhan spoke:

"The Great Khan and the prison state have been physically wounded, and now we should send soldiers and horses to send them and the seriously injured soldiers to Huifa City."

"Huifa City is more than 400 miles away from here, and it is inevitable to ride in a carriage, so the situation of the Great Khan and the prince should not be moved lightly, so let the doctor and the chariot serve first."

"I personally accompanied the Great Khan to Huifa City."

When Hurhan's words came out, Yanguli did not object, but nodded.

Seeing that the two ministers were like this, Abatai naturally couldn't say anything, so he could only nod his head.

Taking the opportunity, Yanguli also spoke:

"The minions went to count the casualties of the army, and then you led the soldiers and horses of the two red banners to garrison the city of Salhu, in case the Ming army attacked in the direction of Hetuala."

"Hmm......" Abatai nodded, and Huerhan took the opportunity to say:

"The soldiers and horses in Sanyangyu Fort and other places can also retreat in advance, leaving them there will not make a difference."

Hu Erhan's words won the approval of the three of them, because after this fiasco, they all knew that the Ming army was no longer the Ming army that was once weak in Liaozhen.

The casualties of tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of troops are enough to make the Jin country face an internal turmoil.

At this time, it is necessary to transfer all the soldiers and horses in unimportant places to important places, and then retreat in time to give up the city.

For example, Fushun, a city that is very easy to fight from the inside out, only needs to retreat according to what his own Great Khan just said, let the Ming army use artillery to break it by itself.

Defending it means consuming, and the Jin army can't afford it.

This is only a political defeat, if you want to talk about the military, then this time into Liao, it can be said that the losses are heavy, and such a loss will greatly motivate the Ming soldiers.

The Ming army's "gold phobia" for several years will be completely cured because of this battle, but what about the Jin army?

After experiencing this war, will the surviving soldiers and horses suffer from "phobia"?

No one dared to guarantee it, so after making arrangements, Hu Erhan and the others began to split up, but while they were acting, some people were suffering heavy blows......

"Buzz rumble—"

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded in the dark night, and the Ming army, which had rested for a quarter of an hour on the south bank of the Hunhe River, once again launched a surprise formation.

Seeing this, the Jin army of the blue flag immediately ordered the Han soldiers to defend with spears, and then the headquarters took out the infantry bow with the rout of the Jin army and controlled the string to shoot upward.

Thousands of arrows fell like a shower, and there were no longer a few people who went crazy because of the arrows on the horses of the Ming army, but all of this was not important to the Ming soldiers.

What they care about is the head on Jianyu's shoulder! That head worth a hundred taels of silver!

"Kill—"

The advance of the army and the charge of tens of thousands of iron horsemen were a suffocating terror for the Jin army, which numbered no more than 20,000.

The four cavalry guards and the Daning Iron Cavalry, who acted as the main attackers, raised their horses, and forcibly carried the blow of the four rounds of arrow rain from the foot bow, and rushed to a distance of fifteen steps with arrows all over their bodies, and the next second, the trigger was pulled.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of dense cavalry sounded, and the bullets flew out, and the cavalry in the front row, after pulling the trigger, immediately turned their horses and completed the retreat.

At this moment, the Ming army spread out like a blooming flower on the other side, retreating to the main formation, and at the same time, the soldiers who were shot in the face in the Jin army fell one after another.

The archers were doing their best to meet the attack, and at the same time the Jin artillery was firing.

"Boom—"

Dozens of inferior iron cannons fired scattered bullets, and a platoon of Ming iron cavalry fell, but there was only one round of artillery, and the offensive of the Ming army was like a tide, endless.

Gradually, the Zhenglan Banner Jianju and the Han Pawn Fake Prisoner on the south bank of the Hunhe River as reinforcements also began to waver, and the defeated soldiers who were already restless couldn't help but want to retreat.

"Don't panic! Raise your shield and shoot it up! ”

Yue Tuo was commanding the army, but the Jin army was human after all, and after missing more than a dozen arrows in a row, the muscles in his arms and back were already sore, and the disadvantage of the archers was evident at this moment.

At this moment, more than 30 Jin ships arrived on the south bank of the Hunhe River again, and Yue Tuo immediately commanded the rout troops of the two yellow flags to take the lead in evacuating.

The Ming army's assault also ended after a tea time, and all the cavalry rode their horses and ran a mile away, turned over and dismounted to load their horses.

For tens of thousands of iron horsemen such as He Shixian and Cao Wenzhao, who did not have a gun, they rested after shooting arrows in the face.

"Duogan and Liaoying are resting in place, and the four cavalry guards and Daning Sanwei are ready to face each other!"

Man Gui glanced at the battlefield ground in the distance, under the light of the bonfires on both sides of the Jin army, there were more than thousands of Jin army prisoners and Ming soldiers who fell in front of the battle, most of which were the corpses of the Jin army, and the Ming army only occupied a small part.

"Blow the trumpet!"

Man Gui gave an order to the Tang cavalry behind him, and dozens of Tang cavalry continued to blow the horn of the charge.

At this time, the two yellow flags were offshore and withdrew towards Fushun in the north, and Yue Tuo of the Jin army saw that there was no way, so he could only order:

"The army marched east along the Hunhe River and retreated outside the pass!"

Fushun is an important pass of the Great Wall of Liaodong, located on the commanding heights of the north of the Hunhe River Valley, so it is uphill to go east.

Onigiri Exploration Book

This kind of terrain is very advantageous for foot soldiers, but it is not particularly difficult for the Ming cavalry.

Man Gui didn't care about the retreat of the Jin army, he just numbly gave the order, repeatedly letting the cavalry face the attack, until the army began to appear foaming at the mouth of the war horses one by one exhausted, he ordered to stop the face attack.

The Jin army lost the corpse of six miles, and finally succeeded in withdrawing from the Great Wall with the disadvantage of the artillery at the Fushun Pass and the lack of horsepower of the Ming army.

Seeing Yue Tuo retreating with his soldiers and horses, Man Gui also knew that the cavalry could not cross the Fushun Pass, so he immediately ordered:

"Command the whole army, harvest the heads, and build up the corpses!"

Since the head has to be handed over to the Imperial Horse to inspect the credit, it can't be used to base the Jingguan, but the corpse can.

Under the order of Man Gui, the iron cavalry of the Ming army began to dismount one after another, and a mile away, mended the Jin army lying on the ground and harvested the head.

The corpses of the harvested heads were stripped of their armor and clothes, and after leaving only a pair of pants, they were built up like sandbags.

He Shixian's troops and horses were sufficient, so he took on the task of collecting corpses along the way, and dragged the corpses of the Jin army along the way with lassos around their necks and towards this place.

Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses were skilled at cutting off the heads of Jianlu's corpses, while Man Gui's soldiers and horses were still doing the task of piling up corpses.

All of this was carried out under the noses of the Jin army in Fushun Pass, but Yue Tuo, as the commander, did not dare to continue to go out of the pass after he ascended to the top of the city.

"Send an order to Xiong Jingluo, transfer the Shenyang grain ship to bring enough bean material, and then order someone to bring over the war horse that Lord Wang has cultivated good horsepower."

While Man Gui gave the order, he made a posture to camp here, and the same went for He Shixian and Cao Wenzhao.

As the pond horses were sent out one by one, the camp was set up little by little, and the sky was a little brighter......

At the same time that a touch of fish white belly appeared on the edge of the sky, on the grass on the south bank of the Hunhe River, in front of the Ming army barracks, a hill made of corpses was exposed to the light.

All the corpses were cut off from their heads, and the blood flowed out of the big mouth of the bowl, heading towards the Hunhe River, gradually dyeing a corner red, and harvesting the number of heads pickled by the lime carried by the Ming army made He Shixian and the others laugh from ear to ear.

Except for Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao, everyone else in the whole army was happy, and Man Gui and Cao Wenzhao were waiting for Xiong Tingbi's arrival.

And when Xiong Tingbi led the army to the south bank of the Hunhe River, it was already three quarters of the year (03:45).

Looking at Fushun on the north bank of the Hunhe River, he couldn't do anything at this moment except say "camp".

The only thing to be thankful for is the mountain of Jin army heads, and the captured horses and armor.

The heads of all places were counted, and after the statistics were completed, they were sent to Quang Ninh.

The 800-mile expedited document was sent to Xipingbao, more than 300 miles away, under the gallop of the longitudinal horse of Tang Qi.

Four hours later, when the Ming army on the south bank of the Hunhe River had begun to attack Fushun City, Zhu Youzhen also succeeded in getting a rough beheading estimate of the front line.

In the battle of Mangui, Cao Wenzhao, Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji's camp, the Ming army beheaded more than 4,000 people in total.

After Nurhachi broke through the siege, he was blocked by Xiong Tingbi and others in Chaoyang Mountain, and in the battle of Chaoyang Mountain, the Ming army beheaded more than 12,000 people in total against the Jin army, and the specific number has not yet been counted.

After that, the Jin army broke through the siege and fled eastward, and the general soldiers Man Gui, He Shixian, and Cao Wenzhao led the iron cavalry to pursue, chased to the south bank of Fushun, and beheaded more than 5,000 people.

Man Gui repeatedly confronted the Jin army such as Yue Tuo and Zhenglanqi, and beheaded more than 1,000 real captives and more than 3,000 fake captives.

All this is the statistics of several wars in the Liaoshen Plain, a total of more than 22,000 real captives, 3,000 fake captives, a total of 25,000 levels, and this is still a rough statistics, if you carefully count, it may be higher......

Nurhachi's 40,000-strong army entered Liao, and more than 20,000 people were killed on the battlefield directly, and there may be many wounded.

More than 22,000 true captives, what kind of concept is this?

In history, since the beginning of the 46th year of Wanli, to the 27th year before the Jianlu entered the customs, the total beheading of the Ming army on the Jianyu was only more than 20,000 levels, and the Ming army played such an achievement in the first battle at this moment.

This is only the capture of the Ming army after the failure of Nurhachi's entry into Liao, and the next thing is the main event......

"Is there any news of Huang Taiji and Nurhachi?"

Closing the above book, Zhu Youzhen's eyes were as calm as a pool of water, and Lu Wenzhao, who was standing in front of him, also said:

"The former army has a return, and what has been determined is that Huang Taiji suffered a very serious injury during the battle of Yingpan, and he could only lie on horseback for a time."

"As for the battle of Chaoyang Mountain and the battle of Hunhe, the sky was too dark, and the Jin army did not raise torches, so it was really difficult to see ......"

"......" Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He couldn't be sure whether Huang Taiji was dead or not, which made him feel a little uneasy.

Although as far as the current beheading is concerned, the Jin army has completely broken the ridge bones, and the third and fourth armies of the Ming army are also killing towards Hetuala, he is still not at ease.

Daming needs an extremely stable situation to deal with the next internal turmoil, and if Huang Taiji's guy lives, it will always be a disaster.

Although judging from the current military report, almost all of the two white flags were annihilated, only a small number of people fled, and Huang Taiji did not have any bargaining chips and strength to seek benefits within the Jin army, Zhu Youzhen still had to be on guard.

"The army continues to attack, and at the end of July I will see the whole of Liao recovered, and all the stone forts in the Orthodox period will be rebuilt and recovered within a hundred miles except for Liaodong and the Great Wall."

"Yes!"

Zhu Youzhen ordered, and Lu Wenzhao also responded honestly, and after he responded, Zhu Youzhen did not end the arrangement, but asked about things other than Fuliao:

"What's going on in the Ryukyu Prefecture right now?"

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen asked about things outside Liaodong, Lu Wenzhao hurriedly responded:

"Since the beginning of this year, Fujian, Guangdong and other places have suffered from Longjiao (typhoon) and heavy floods, and the price of rice has risen from 400 wen per stone in February to 700 wen per stone."

"The price of rice is too expensive, so more people are moving to Ryukyu Prefecture."

"As of June 20, there are more than 94,000 households, more than 470,000 people, more than 9,000 cattle, more than 10,000 horses, and more than 600,000 acres of land......

Lu Wenzhao replied honestly, and Zhu You bowed his head very satisfied after listening.

Compared to the land of Liaodong, the reclamation of the Ryukyu Prefecture is indeed too easy.

Coupled with the large number of people, the royal horses supervised the production of grain, farm tools and livestock, so such a speed is not surprising.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Zhu Youzhen got up and said:

"Tell Huanglong that he doesn't have to worry about the grain, first give me the Ryukyu Mansion to develop well."

"Yes!" Lu Wenzhao responded, but soon said tentatively:

"Your Highness, I don't understand that in the land of Guangdong, there are actually a lot of places that can be cultivated, but the people do not have enough money and food to reclaim them."

"Why don't you do the Ryukyus in Guangdong, maybe you can reclaim millions of acres of arable land......"

Regarding Lu Wenzhao's incomprehension, Zhu Youzhen could only explain:

"Guangdong is different from the Ryukyus, although Guangdong is also a vast area, but there are many mountains and few plains."

"In terms of the difficulty of reclamation, it is much more expensive than Yungui, not to mention the places that can be reclaimed, most of them have already been reclaimed, and it is better to move to Ryukyu than to spend energy."

What Zhu Youzhen said was very straightforward, but very practical.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the amount of cultivated land in Guangdong was only about 7 million mu, but the population was more than 3 million, and the per capita cultivated land was only 2 mu.

By the late Ming Dynasty, according to Zhu Youzhen's memory, Guangdong's cultivated land had reached more than 20 million mu, but the population had at least tripled, but the per capita cultivated land area still did not exceed three mu.

In Zhu Youzhen's memory, the peak of Guangdong's cultivated land has never exceeded 45 million mu, and it sounds easy to use more than 40 million mu of land to feed 7 million people, but if this is the case, Guangdong will not have been hungry many times during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years.

Rather than wasting energy on other hard-to-reclaim areas, it is better to relocate the people directly.

Jiangxi, Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Nanzhili......

The population of these five provinces was as high as more than 40 million during the Hongwu period, and even if the population has only tripled, there are now more than 80 million people.

Solving their food problem in the case of an imminent natural disaster is what Zhu Youzhen needs to consider.

Although the drought broke out in the five provinces a few years later than in the north, the time left for Zhu Youzhen was only about 10 years.

In ten years, most of the 80 million people must be diluted, and this place is only the Nanyang and overseas vassals......

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen looked at Lu Wenzhao, and at the same time pulled the topic back to Liaodong, and said:

"The old slave entered the Liao War, which was the first victory for me in Liaodong! The matter should be reported to the royal brother as soon as possible! ”

"In addition, transfer 300,000 taels of silver to the artillery factory and Tianjin Shipyard, and then send the news to Huanglong, preparing to expand the three guards of the navy into seven guards in the Ryukyu Prefecture, and at the same time tell Li Ruolian of the Fusi of Beizhen to give me a good investigation of the news of Nanyang......"

"Your Highness......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Lu Wenzhao first responded, and then said:

"The battle of Fuliao is not over yet, is it too early to inquire about the news of Nanyang?"

When Lu Wenzhao's words came out, Zhu Youzhen sneered, and then responded:

"The land of the South Seas, but tens of thousands of Xiyi, why care? Only the sailors and horses can be leveled, and it can be counted as ......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen remembered the massacre of the Han people in Nanyang by the Dutch and Spaniards in the past four hundred years, and couldn't help but say in an accentuated tone:

"It is also counted as the thirty-first year of Wanli, and tens of thousands of Ming people who died in Luzon have avenged ......"
