Zheng Haizhu said: "Nurhachi established himself as Khan last year, and this year there was a famine in Jianzhou, and I feel that after this winter, once the men and horses will not be frozen to death on the way to send troops, they will attack my Daming." And Hetuala went west, after Salhu, that is, Fushun Pass and Fushun City. In the afternoon, I listened to Aya say that Fushun is the largest horse market between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens, and every April, merchants from all over the country with other goods will also gather inside and outside the city, not only trading horses, but also grain and iron tools to cloth and tea. Therefore, if I were Nurhachi, the first battle I would do next year, I would go to Fushun to grab things and people. ”

Wu Bangde listened attentively, turned his wine glass and said: "According to what you say, Li Yongfang, the Fushun guard, should be killed in advance." He will definitely surrender and sacrifice the city. No! In fact, he was already Nurhachi's lackey. ”

Wu Bangde's breath was obviously a little hasteer.

The last conclusion, when Zheng Haizhu heard it for the first time, was in the post station of Yanzhou Mansion.

That night, Wu Bangde called Zheng Haizhu to the courtyard and apologized for his gaffe on the Surabaya Bridge, but at the same time, he also showed Zheng Haizhu an even more shocking object.

It was a blood book he had dug up from the corpse of his fiancée, Amei, who had been mutilated by wild dogs.

Ah Mei's father, who is also a good friend of Wu Bangde's father, Qi Jin, was originally the guard of Qinghe Fort near Fushun.

Five years ago, before Nurhachi turned against the Ming Empire, he had already led the Jianzhou Jurchens with open fire and prepared to attack the Ula Department of the Haixi Jurchens.

The Ula Department asked the Ming Dynasty for help, and the Ming court ordered Fu Shun Shou to mobilize Li Yongfang to mobilize men and horses to the Ula Department to help.

Li Yongfang sent Amei's father to take 2,000 elites out of Qinghe Fort to the north, and on the way, he also called the scout to report that there were secret soldiers in Jianzhou and a sneak attack on the Yahu Pass near Qinghe Fort, and urgently ordered Amei's father to retreat and guard the pass.

After the Ula tribe was bloodbathed by Nurhachi, only the Yehe tribe remained in the four Haixi Jurchen tribes, which greatly weakened the containment of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Ming Ting was furious and blamed Li Yongfang. On the one hand, Li Yongfang presented a letter sent by Nurhachi to Fushun, explaining for the old Tatar chieftain that the Jianzhou Jurchens destroyed the Ula tribe because their leader Buzhantai betrayed the alliance. On the other hand, Li Yongfang took his own soldiers to Qinghe Fort, beheaded Amei's father in the name of disobeying military orders and returning to the army without authorization, and sent his wife and daughter to Beijing. On the way to escort, Li Yongfang's personal soldiers wanted to insult Ah Mei, but Ah Mei committed suicide by hitting their saber and was exposed to the wilderness near Fushun.

When Wu Bangde heard the news, he rushed to Fushun from Jizhen, and after finding Amei's body, he found the blood book left by his father in her underwear. The blood book was actually written by two people, Amei's father wrote about the process of sending troops from Qinghe and returning to the army, and the other person was the old general's personal soldier.

In the courtyard of the Yanzhou City Post Station, Zheng Haizhu, who listened to the original story, asked Wu Bangde, didn't General Qi Jin tell the court when he saw the blood book?

Wu Bangde said, at that time, it coincided with Zhang Quan's performance of the military department, because the Jianzhou Jurchens were getting bigger, please transfer Qi Jin's Zhejiang soldiers as guest troops, and go north to Liaodong to garrison the area from Qinghe Fort to Yahu Pass, and guard the main road of the Jianzhou Jurchens from Hetuala's nest to the west to march to the Ming Dynasty.

However, a local warlord of the Liao people, like Li Yongfang, perhaps fearing that his interests in Fushun would be damaged, immediately operated in the court to prevent Qi Jin from entering Liao, and it was successful, and Zhang Quan's performance finally failed.

In this case, Wu Bangde was worried that after taking out the blood book, with Qi Jin's violent temper, he would have to fight Li Yongfang to the death, and he happened to be slandered by the other party that Qi Jin forged the blood book to avenge the resentment of obstructing military achievements.

The last of the Qi family's army was already struggling to survive, and Wu Bangde was really worried that this incident would make the situation even worse.

Even if the imperial court's letter in blood is true, and the parallel conversation is not ironclad evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, many military generals in Liaodong have "talked side by side" with the Jurchens on some occasions. Li Yongfang can fully say that he is warning Nurhachi.

It's better to find an opportunity to kill him yourself, it's more direct.

Wu Bangde then hid the blood book. But he couldn't let go of hatred. Three years later, when he met Zheng Haizhu, who was about to enter Liao, Wu Bangde frankly confided that he was going to take Li Yongfang's life this time.

At this moment, Zheng Haizhu looked at Wu Bangde's eyes that flashed with anger, followed his words, and said in a harmonious voice: "It is precisely because according to what you know and what I believe that Li Yongfang has more or less communicated with Nurha, and Li Yongfang's dog life will be left until the horse market next spring." You say, what if Nurha was bare-chested and Li Yongfang was about to sacrifice the city, but suddenly fell into an ambush by the other armies of my Ming Dynasty? ”

The anger in Wu Bangde's eyes darkened.

He looked away from Zheng Haizhu's gaze and turned to the reef where the waves crashed against the shore under the moonlight.

After a while, he muttered, "I didn't expect this. ”

Zheng Haizhu didn't speak again, but secretly said in his heart, you didn't expect it, it's normal, I've been thinking about this matter all the way, just because, I, a later generation, have opened the perspective of God and know that Nurhachi will indeed release the news that the Jurchens will go to Fushun to sell a large number of horses next spring, and let the Tartar soldiers pretend to be horse dealers to enter the city first, and then join the Eight Banners Army outside the city.

Historically, on this day, Fushun Shou general Li Yongfang directly opened the city gate and surrendered, although behind him, there were two iron-clad Ming men, ignoring the ugly behavior of their bosses, they still led his soldiers to resist to the death and martyrdom.

They deserve to leave their names in the history: Fushun City Qianzong, Wang Mingyin, Fushun City General, Wang Xuedao.

Fushun is the first Daming city won by the Jianzhou Tartars. In addition to Li Yongfang, the first Ming military attache to publicly surrender to the Tartars, Nurhachi also got a Ming student named Fan Wencheng. This descendant of Fan Zhongyan will become a highly used Hanchen in the Huang Taiji era.

In the battle of Fushun, the Tartars obtained a large amount of supplies and plundered tens of thousands of people, which was more abundant than any previous harvest of "grabbing the west".

The key is that the success of seizing Fushun and occupying Fushun doubled the morale of the Tartars, and then like pruning and pulling poles, it severely damaged many fortresses of the Ming Dynasty at the forefront of Liaodong, including the most important Qinghe Fort, which caused the situation in Liaodong to deteriorate rapidly, prompting the Ming court to launch the Battle of Sarhu.

Zheng Haizhu raised his head and stared at the dazzling Sirius in the sky.

Will pull the withered bow like a full moon, look northwest, and shoot the wolf.

The brightest star in the winter night sky, which people in this world may not know, is actually much larger than the sun.

What seems small is not necessarily weak, and what seems huge is not necessarily strong.

Wu Bond also raised his eyes to the sky.

"Miss Zheng, Li Yongfang can frame others, and we can frame him."

Zheng Haizhu nodded: "True or false, if there are five or six points, go to seven or eight points, we can indeed try." Otherwise, how can other warriors in Liaodong be aware of the crisis? Let's talk about it here today, and let's go to Liaodong and take a look. ”

She said, stood up, and prepared to go back to the cabin.

"You go and rest first, I'm on deck, and have a few more sips." Wu Bangde said.

Zheng Haizhu walked down the wooden ladder and came to the cabin, and saw Aya kneeling behind the half-open door, and kowtowed to her: "The master is back." ”

Zheng Haizhu said softly: "Don't kowtow to me in the future, let alone call me master." I'm not one of those people in the Ministry of Construction, I love to treat people as slaves. Master, are the two words I hate to hear the most. If you really don't get used to calling me Miss Zheng, call me the head of the house first. ”

Ayana said, "Yes, the head of the house." ”

On deck, Wu Bond poured out his last glass of wine, stood up, and came to the side of the ship.

He took a big sip and then threw the remaining half cup into the waves.

"Amei, I'll take revenge on you."
