Chapter 124 The Wind Blows and Strikes Halfway

In July, the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent troops to attack the upper fort, waved the Xuanfu, and tossed the Beijing division to martial law, which Yu Feng knew, but at that time, he was painstakingly trying to expand his territory little by little. The Manchu Qing Tartars who are far away in Xuanfu seem to be a very distant term for him, and since the Tartars entered the fortress, as always, Shi Shiran went home after grabbing a large number of votes, this thing seems to be very normal, except for His Majesty the Emperor who is high above and those who are unfortunately named by His Majesty the Emperor to go to war, the Ming Dynasty seems to have been numb.

If you want to blame, only blame God, finally last year's annual situation improved a little, and the famine in various parts of the world seemed to have stopped for a short time, but this year it has intensified. Take Dengzhou, where Yu Feng is located, for example, compared with Chongzhen's five years, it is especially inferior. Fortunately, at the beginning of spring, the imperial court ordered that Dengzhou's arrears of taxes over the years were exempted, and it also sent a special staff to Dengzhou Laizhou to relieve the famine, which calmed the people's hearts a little and did not immediately provoke a popular uprising. This Daming is still like this, and the Manchus outside the customs are so good, it is not strange to enter the customs and loot, if they can withstand it themselves, and do not enter the customs to find some subsidies on the Daming, it will be a strange thing.

Sandwiched in the middle of the team, Yu Feng's gloomy face did not have any expression, and he even wondered if it was the Tartars outside the Guan, after snatching Daming, they hit North Korea again. At this time, nominally Korea and the Manchu Qing Dynasty were both subject countries of the Ming Dynasty and a state of brothers.

Calling the Manchu Qing at this time the Manchu Tartars, in fact, it is still the thinking of Yu Feng's later generations, and it is now the seventh year of Chongzhen, you know, until the tenth year of Chongzhen, that is, the tenth year of Emperor Taiji Tiancong of the Qing Dynasty, there is the name of the Great Qing Dynasty, that is, don't look at Nurhachi for a lifetime, but he has not been the emperor for a day, and his Qing Taizu is still his descendants who gave him the title.

Before the official founding of the People's Republic of China, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, said to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, was actually an armed bandit group, everywhere to rob for a living, to rob for fun, the Ming they robbed, Mongolia they robbed, for this close North Korean little brother, they really have no reason to let go. It is normal for Yu Feng to have this idea, in fact, in the north of Korea and the Manchu Qing Dynasty border Ping'an Road, Ning'an Road, simply became the back garden of the Manchu cavalry, they can come when they want to, go if they want to, this Korean king Li Cong only has dry eyes, he wants to fight, but with the weakness of the Korean soldiers who "don't know about the military for two hundred years", and the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry who sleep on horseback in the field, he himself feels a little unreliable, it is not bad to be able to hold a few big cities, as for the field battle, it is better to save it!

As for the nominal alliance with North Korea, that was what Huang Taiji did as soon as he came to power, when Huang Taiji sent Amin to walk around North Korea, North Korea was busy handing over the alliance letter, but this alliance and annexation, but two different things, who stipulated that the alliance could not grab the allies, allies, you and North Korea can ally over Mongolia? Not to mention grabbing points, even if Mongolia later helped the Manchus to take over the world, the Manchus still implemented the policy of "reducing Ding" from time to time, which shows that the fine style of the Manchu Qing still has a long tradition.

I don't know how many people have added to Velasco's Fanren training camp since the last report came back, Yu Feng thought to himself. However, according to the speed at which the training camp recruits soldiers, the strength of Yu Feng in North Korea will definitely not exceed 1,000 people, if such a thing really happens, it is understandable that Yun Qingshan and Velasco will shrink their forces and stick to this new city.

Thinking of this, the nameless fire in Yu Feng's heart calmed down a little, and now he is also a superior person, at least he did not make up his mind without careful consideration, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will be him who will be embarrassed, no matter how he remedies, it will be a big blow to his prestige.

After walking for about three or four miles, the team in front suddenly stopped, and a river more than ten zhang wide appeared in front of Yu Feng. And the original wooden bridge on the river, it can be seen at this moment, has been broken by life, on the other side of the river, there are some banners and horses waiting there.

There is no need to scout, Yu Feng can see clearly, that flag is the banner of the Fengzi Battalion, he suddenly understands a little in his heart, the reason why no one intercepted them along the way is that they are waiting for them here? It seems that this Yun Qingshan still has a bit of a plan, at least, he knows that if he is really a pirate or something, in front of the fire gun equipped by the Fengzi Battalion with a longer range than the ordinary firecracker, I am afraid that this river is really not so good.

"Be on guard in place, and each battalion will play its own banner!" Since this is the case, Yu Feng even sent people across the river to contact the province, as soon as this flag is played, the people on the other side of the river will always have a flag bearer to contact it, no matter which hundred households, the flag bearer in this army is customized, if you can't understand the flag language, don't say anything, get ready to fight!

With Yu Feng's order, the flags of each hundred households were played, and some flag-bearers even ran to a higher open point, and waved the flags towards the other side of the river.

This flag is not Yu Feng's handwriting, but the entire Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers are familiar with something, Zhaojiazhuang's group of veterans, for these knowledge that must be understood in the army, it is all Menqing, which is equivalent to the command system of later generations, many people think that the ancient marching and fighting, but to hear the drum and retreat, and that's it. This is a big mistake, the ancients are not stupider than modern people, although there is no telephone and telegraph computer command system of later generations, that is the condition of the time, but this does not mean that they can not be allowed at the time, to create a unique command system to come, just imagine, the ancients often tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, if you can not timely pass the intentions of the commanders and generals to the soldiers, so many people, simply do not have to fight themselves in chaos. Therefore, this relying on the flag to command the army, it has become a very systematic military skill, the ancients often have examples of beheading generals to capture the flag to achieve victory, in fact, this is no different from the modern special forces decapitation operation to end the enemy's command.

It's just that Yu Feng added some very personal flags to the flag language of the Fengzi Battalion, and it is not enough for outsiders to be specific, but it is certain that the officers and soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion may be able to fully understand the flags of other Ming officers and soldiers, but other Ming officers and soldiers may not be able to fully understand the meaning of the flag of the Fengzi Battalion.

Sure enough, as soon as the flag of the flag bearer identified himself and asked the identity of the other party passed, on the other side of the river, it didn't take long for there to react, and the reaction was still very intense, the flag bearers on both sides were still gesturing in their own ways, and someone over there carried out two wooden rafts and threw them into the river.

"Report to the general, it is the first brother of the Shenji Battalion, and the brother of the second hundredth household is on the other side, teaching the camp to assist in defense!" The standard-bearer came to report directly, Yu Feng nodded, now there is no need for the standard-bearer to say, the two hundred households of the Shenji Battalion on the river and the faces of Yun Qingshan behind them are already vaguely distinguishable here, these people, Yu Feng knows them.

A few people came ashore, and immediately trotted towards Yu Feng's side, as soon as the flag in the army came out, it was clear where the lord was, and they didn't need to ask anyone, they directly knew who should be under the banner.

"The deputy of the Shenji Battalion, Yun Qingshan, the hundred households Mu Shi, and the hundred households Han Meng see the general!"

"Get up!" Yu Feng snorted slightly, and asked sharply: "Yun Qingshan, what the hell are you doing, what do you say about today's move?" ”

Yun Qingshan didn't wait for Yu Feng to attack, his heart was already extremely worried, at this moment, Yu Feng's face was flat, it was really a shock to the tiger's body, and the evil spirit was exposed, where did he still have the majestic momentum that he had cultivated in the past few months, he just stood up, his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down on one knee again.

"The last general heard the warning and didn't know the reality of the enemy, so he could only wait for the enemy here in accordance with the defense method rehearsed in advance, so as to plan the safety of the new city!" He stumbled, and his voice was a little quieter: "I just didn't know that the general would personally lead the army here!" ”

"You know what I didn't ask, this new city port, how important a place it is, why don't you see a single soldier?" Yu Feng asked, and the meaning of asking for guilt between the words was quite obvious,

"Your Excellency!" This Yun Qingshan is really anxious, I don't care if it is in this army, even Ping Sujian called out in order to show that he is close to Yu Feng: "The last general received a secret letter from the fine work placed in Changyuan a month ago, this right road in the Yellow Sea, there have been a number of Tartars appeared, and the Korean army, a thousand miles away, the high-ranking officials and important ministers of Changyuan, all with their families and wives and children, far away from Seoul, my new city is lonely overseas, so the soldiers who rely on it may not be able to compete with the Tartars, so the last general concentrated the soldiers in the new city, the surrounding places, dare not place a soldier, Strengthen the city defense every day, and look forward to the reinforcements of adults! ”

The poem behind Yun Qingshan, Han Meng's two hundred households, also knelt down, and said in unison: "What the thousand households said, every sentence is true, I hope the adults will see it!" ”

Yu Feng sighed slightly in his heart, his previous guess came true, and it was indeed because of the Tartars. If you want to say that this Tartar is still famous, he has not seen a human figure, so he will be his elite subordinates, so frightened, he vaguely remembers that even if the Manchu Qing later conquered and annexed Korea, it did not take much effort, and the soldiers sent were only a few thousand, and at present, the mason of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, who demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, was doing a good job, saying that this Tartar was raising troops to annex Korea at this moment, he did not believe it.

Since it is not a national war, then, the great thing is that these Tartars who plundered and beat the grass valley were a little happy, ran a little farther, and actually scared away the military and political local officials of North Korea, which is not necessarily too jaw-dropping, and his subordinates seem to have been affected by this atmosphere, and they even gave up the places around the new city, and gathered their soldiers to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.

"Get up, I will verify this matter, if it is true, you have done a steady job, if you lie about the military situation, hum, you will not be spared!"

The three of them saw that Yu Feng could listen to their explanation, so they got up in a panic, the weather in October was not hot, but they still found themselves in a cold sweat.

"Yun Qingshan, you are familiar with the terrain here, lead the way in front, find a shoal to bring the sons over, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when you get to the new city!"
