Chapter 276: Recovering Liaodong
"Accurate!"
"The last general is going to prepare!" Hu Daxi was allowed to do so, a smile bloomed on his face, he saluted Sha Yuliang, turned around and arranged for the soldiers to act.
Sha Yuliang looked at the excited figure running away, raised his eyes and looked at the city tower of Zhenbei Pass, this time Dayu is coming to Zhenbei Pass and the Jurchens who occupy this area, there is a way to capture this city, do you need to hesitate?
Now as long as there is a way to capture Zhenbei Pass, you can try it, and it is best to wipe out all the forces of the Jurchen town in Zhenbei Pass.
If they don't be brutalized and injured this time, they won't know that it hurts, and if they are greatly injured, even if some of their clansmen escape, at least for a few decades, they will not be able to gather troops to attack.
"General, the Jurchens on the city wall are resisting stubbornly, I see that this batch of escapes and throws them up, we can almost attack!" Yuan Mingxian said.
How could Hu Daxi take the credit for capturing Zhenbei Pass, they must go together to share the share and share the credit, otherwise he is worried that the emperor will not know how to reward him.
You see that he shares his worries for the emperor a lot, and thinks a lot about Hu Daxi!
How could Sha Yuliang not guess the thoughts of the generals under his command, leading the troops to fight, and rewarding meritorious service is the hope of all soldiers.
Of course, he will not deliberately prevent them from making military achievements.
"In this case, everyone is ready, and when the Jurchens in Zhenbeiguan are in chaos, we will attack!"
The generals who were observing the battle situation listened to Sha Yuliang's order, and their faces showed joy, and even their fallen war horses couldn't wait to stand still.
When the Jurchen leaders on the city tower saw the Dayu soldiers and horses running back again, they stomped their feet with hatred, thinking that they would shoot again, so as to let the soldiers on their side hide as soon as possible, so as not to expose their bodies to danger.
Not to mention that in the face of the Dayu army and their firepower, the Jurchen soldiers and horses were scared from the heart.
As the Jurchens who think they are the most warlike in this continent, they have the most arrogant army even if they have the least troops, and now in the face of the Dayu army that can completely crush them, they don't want to admit it in their hearts, let alone say it.
"We hid this time, why didn't we hear Dayu's soldiers and horses shooting?"
"Hmph, now that we've figured out their routine, as long as they run under the city walls, we'll hide, I'd like to see what they can do with us?"
"Yes, even if their muskets have a long range, as long as we don't show up, they can't do anything about us."
Some Jurchens couldn't suppress their curiosity and secretly looked outside the city wall, wanting to see how Dayu's soldiers and horses would respond.
Just what did he see just now?
"Haha." The Jurchens pointed to the black bumps thrown by Dayu's soldiers and horses, and laughed sarcastically: "Dayu has no way to take us, but to hit us with stones?" ”
When his words fell, many girls looked out cautiously, it didn't matter if they saw it, they really saw Dayu's soldiers and horses throwing stones on the city wall.
The soldiers on the Jurchen side looked at the stones thrown in the air, and couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh, not to mention hurting people, this stone is almost itchy.
As if to confirm this sarcastic laughter, the first earth-style grenade to land erupted into sparks.
When the Jurchen soldiers saw the sparkling lead, they were collectively stunned, and they didn't understand what this was for a while?
“???”
Time was of the essence, and before they could react, the 'stone' that fell in front of them suddenly exploded!
"Boom, boom!"
The surrounding Jurchens were affected, and their flesh and blood were blown up, and their eyes were embedded in stone fragments, and their faces were covered in blood.
It was just a moment of effort, a round of bombardment, and the city wall of Zhenbei Pass was a wail, which can be called purgatory on earth.
Even the Jurchen chieftain, who was hiding on the city tower, was not spared, and his arm was injured by a fragment.
Seeing such a powerful weapon, the leader was also frightened, and he didn't dare to take chances anymore, he covered his injured hand and immediately ordered: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”
If he didn't retreat quickly, he was really afraid that the entire Jurchen soldiers and horses would all fold here.
As soon as the order was passed down, the sound of the trumpet of the charge and the sound of the horse's hooves of 'booming' came from outside the city.
"This is the signal of Dayu's cavalry attack, everyone evacuate quickly!"
After the Jurchen leader gave the order, he ran down the city tower in embarrassment with the support of his own guards, and ran to the war horse tied to him.
Population is the Achilles' heel of the Jurchens, who occupied Liaodong for more than ten years but once returned to the pre-liberation period.
was beaten back to its original form, and returned to the tribe that lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests.
Maybe this time it is not as good as the original appearance, the initial appearance at least the tribal population base is larger than now, after this battle, I am afraid that there will be no two or three men in the prime of life.
Two rounds of earthen grenades were thrown down, and when Hu Daxi was happily preparing to order the siege of the city, he found that the Dayu soldiers and horses behind him were all assembled, preparing to attack the north pass of the town.
“.”
"Damn! You don't talk about martial arts! Hu Daxi waved to his soldiers: "Siege!" ”
Since you don't talk about martial arts, how can he occupy the first place to attack Zhenbei Pass, even if the emperor and Niangniang discuss meritorious deeds, the first one should reward him.
Not to be outdone, several other generals led a team of cavalry to rush towards the city, the cavalry in strong gear held their whips tightly, their horses trampled on the ground, and the sound of hooves was deafening.
Sha Yuliang's staff saw the scene in front of him and said with emotion: "It's still the general who leads the troops well, and a move that doesn't emphasize martial virtue will make the soldiers under his command go down the mountain like tigers, which is fierce and abnormal!"
Such a wolf-like army will be frightened by any enemy on the battlefield.
Sha Yuliang raised his head and laughed heartily when he heard this: "Their wildness was trained by Niangniang, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
The staff nodded: "That's what the general said." ”
Shouts of slaughter arose from the castle towers, and the mixed smell of blood and dust filled the air.
The city gate was opened violently, and the war horses galloped through the gate into the north pass of the town, and the muskets rang out one after another, and the Jurchen soldiers who were hit fell one by one.
Dayu's soldiers wore armor, held swords and guns, and slaughtered the Jurchen team fleeing everywhere like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The Jurchen team was chased and killed until they fled northward, escaping the remaining remnants of the Zhenbei Pass and fleeing into the primeval mountain forest.
"General, are we still chasing?" Hu Daxi's subordinate generals asked.
Hu Daxi tightened the reins and stared at the primeval mountain forest with no road, "There is no road on the mountain, and we are not familiar with this area, so it is not beneficial for us to rush into the mountain forest." ”
Yuan Mingxian also rode his horse and trotted over, and sincerely agreed: "General Hu is right, although the other party is small in number, but we rushed in, and the loss of any one of us is a great loss for us, for the sake of these Jurchens who are struggling to survive, it is not worth putting the soldiers in danger, I think we should wait for General Sha to come." ”
"We just let them go?" Zhu Wei was a little unwilling, and watched the Jurchen team escort their leader into the mountains and forests, and now let him let the tiger return to the mountain, he was unwilling.
If you want him to say, what is there to be afraid of in the mountains and forests, when they used to be mountain bandits, they didn't run in the mountains all year round.
Even if he is unwilling, it will be useless, Sha Yuliang will not let his elite be wasted in this mountain forest, not to mention, the hard-hit Jurchens have returned to the tribal era, and I don't know how many years it will take for them to recover.
Rather than expend the troops here, and the Jurchens who have no threat, it is better to exterminate the remnants of the Beidi tribe as soon as possible. Arresting the thief leader Qin Lang hiding in Goguryeo as soon as possible is the most important thing they should do at present.
By eliminating all unstable factors in the Liaodong and grassland areas, Niangniang can take over a series of policy rules over these regions.
And these people are the heroes who have made great contributions to Dayu's expansion of territory, and the marquis is just around the corner.
Dayu's palace, the cold previous dynasty, this morning the good news of the recovery of Liaodong came to the capital, into the palace, placed on Li Jingfu's imperial case.
Anu read the contents of the good news to the Manchu civil and military officials.
"Your Majesty." Hubu Shilang stood up, "Now that Liaodong has recovered, the Liaodong region that has been plagued by the Jurchens for more than ten years, how should we settle the people in these areas?" ”
Li Jingfu saw that the position where he was supposed to be standing was still empty, and asked, "Has the will for Yuan Rujiang been issued?" How long will it take to be delivered to Jingzhou? ”
Yuan Qian said loudly: "Your Majesty, the will has been sent for more than ten days, and it should be sent to Jingzhou in a few days, and I think Lord Yuan should be able to reach the capital within a month." ”
Li Jingfu bowed his head, hoping so, let a feudal official enter Beijing as a Beijing official, or one of the six household department Shangshu, I don't know if Yuan Rujiang is willing?
I only hope that Yuan Rujiang can be willing to give up the military power of Jingzhou, return to the capital to take charge of the important yamen of the imperial court, and take charge of the money and grain of the imperial court.
"Liaodong is recovered, and then officials must be sent to govern, so that the people of Liaodong can resume production and life as soon as possible, and the officials sent to Liaodong must have strong action ability, if you have a suitable candidate, you can recommend it to Yuan Qian, and then I will screen suitable candidates."
When the courtiers heard that the emperor handed over the recommendation of Liaodong officials to them, they all had some plans in their hearts, and they wondered who was more suitable to recommend to the emperor among their family members and friends.
Li Jingfu is in a good mood today, Liaodong fell at the hands of Emperor Huiyuan, and it was recovered in his hands, this is his merit, and he will leave a strong mark in the history books in the future.
Thinking of this, his brows furrowed, and he said: "The warlike Jurchens in Liaodong drove out of Zhenbei Pass, and the remaining remnants of Beidi and Goguryeo on the Liaodong Peninsula are not enough to fear, and it won't take much time or difficulty to clean up these two remnants. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the military department: "The military department, while the army led by Sha Yuliang has not yet returned, you should first draw up a list of rewards, and then draw up a battle plan for Annan and other places." ”
On the border of Annan, Annan took advantage of Dayu's heavy troops to be stationed along the Great Wall in the north, and they often committed borders, and now that the north is pacified, it is time to draw troops to solve the problem of Annan.
"Your Majesty, it is not advisable to be reckless, if you are calm today, the north and the east are all predetermined, it is a better moment to govern this Dayu with your heart, how can the imperial court launch a war against Annan again?"
Li Jingfu listened to the only voice that dared to refute, followed the prestige, and looked at the old imperial history who dared to be tough, "It is precisely because of the peace in the world that we should take advantage of the good situation to solve the unstable factors around Dayu, wouldn't it be better!" ”
"Leading the troops to fight, the most consuming grain and grass, Dayu now wants to restore the production and life of the people in the recovered land, and it costs more money and food. And the money and grain of the treasury"
Li Jingfu didn't wait for the old imperial history to continue, then interrupted him and said: "It is precisely because the treasury is empty that we should take the opportunity to solve the problem of Annam, do you know that there are iron mines and gold and silver mines in Annam?" And there are still a lot of reserves, so do you still think that the empty treasury of Annam is a problem? ”
Old Imperial History: "."
The emperor is panting for breath, why didn't you say it earlier that Annan has minerals, so that he stood up like a clown and let everyone watch the show.
Yuan Qian glanced at the old imperial history of the dead society, and said another thing to the emperor, "Your Majesty, now that Dayu's territory has expanded, the number of officials who want to be sent to various places has increased dramatically. And Dayu has broken the imperial examination for several sessions, is it time to open Enke this year and select talents? ”
Li Jingfu has a good attitude towards the officials who really mean to do practical things for Dayu, and after listening to Yuan Qian's proposal, he bowed his head: "The matter of the imperial examination is very important, and the selection of talents for the country, character and ability are the most important, and you will preside over this year's imperial examination." ”
In the future, if the officials sent to govern are insufficient, it will seriously affect the progress of the army's expansion and the rule of the imperial court over the region.
"What the emperor said is very true, according to Weichen's estimate, when the imperial examination is held, the capital will usher in many students from all over the world, at that time, the capital's security and reception capacity will be tested, and Weichen hopes that the soldiers and horses of the five cities can help!"
The Governor of the Five Cities Terracotta Division stood up, "This is the duty of the minister, even if you don't say anything, we will actively cooperate with all aspects of public security in the capital." ”
"Okay, I am very relieved that all of your yamen can work together."
Li Jingfu looked at the courtiers below with a smile, in today's court, the officials who are reused are basically promoted by him and Xia Jing, and the other officials are very bureaucratic and are very uneasy to use.
In fact, the most convenient ones are the officials brought out by Lingnan.
All of them are ruthless people, such as Sha Yuliang and others who are now on the expedition, Long Yutian and others in Beijing, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and the enemy is terrified when the battle starts, and they flee in the wilderness.
——
Besides, Yuan Rujiang, who was far away in Jingzhou, had already known the emperor's will through his friends in the court when the emperor's will was sent out of the capital.
To tell the truth, let him give up Jingzhou and give up the military power in his hands, he is full of reluctance, and the prosperity of Jingzhou shows that he is a parent official and has a good ability to govern the local area.
The strength of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses proves that he is both civil and military, and he can protect the people of one side by killing the enemy on the horse, and he can govern the state capital when he dismounts and writes with his pen.
But being a Beijing official is the desire of every official, not to mention the household department in charge of one of the six departments, Yuan Rujiang fell into a tangle for a while.
It's just that the changes in the situation in the world didn't make him entangled for long, and when the news of Liaodong's recovery came, it was equivalent to God helping him make a decision.
The imperial court has the ability to recover Liaodong, not to mention Beidi and the surrounding small countries.
And he is only a state assassin, although he has military power in his hands, the strength of the army is weak, and it is impossible to compete with the imperial court's troops.
"My lord, have you figured it out?" Staff asked.
Yuan Rujiang put down the good news of Liaodong's recovery and sighed: "Think clearly, I have been nesting in Jingzhou all these years, it's time to change places." ”
The staff only nodded when they heard this: "If the adults are going to enter the capital, then some arrangements should be made here, so as not to be in a hurry when you receive the will." (End of chapter)
