Chapter 125: Calling the door is a technical job
Wang Wu didn't know that Niu Qi had lost his heart for the sake of his position, and he wanted to use him to kill his old boss Dong Xueli.
For this reason, he also gave Mulima's defeat a "secret mourning" in advance.
In an era when there are no instant communication tools and all kinds of information have to be transmitted by people, getting stuck in the channel can delay the message for at least a few days or more.
By the time the Qing troops in Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces realized that something was wrong, it was estimated that Wang Wu would be able to run two hundred miles.
Therefore, Niu Qi's trick is really harmful to others and self-interested.
How to describe Niu Qi's work style?
A typical Ming army general dressed in the clothes of the Qing army.
Actually, this is not wrong.
On the archives, Niu Qi was also a veteran of the three dynasties of the Ming Army, the Shun Army, and the Qing Army, and even followed Dong Xueli in Huaiqing for a few months, and also made a cameo appearance as a bandit.
The kind with full skill points.
However, even if Wang Wu knew that Niu Qi was using him, there was nothing he could do, because he had to take Xingshan, otherwise he would not be able to rush out of the mountain at all and go to various places to "call the door" one by one.
Xingshan City is indeed the residence of Dong Xueli, the old boss of Niuqi, the governor of Huguang, and it is also the former enemy headquarters of the 60,000 Huguang Green Battalion soldiers who surrounded Maolu Mountain.
It's just that Niu Qi is careless, or that his news is a little behind.
Two days ago, Dong Xueli personally supervised the troops to attack Tianyan Village, an important stronghold of the Ming army's eastern front, and also successfully captured Song Duan, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and occupied Tianyan Village.
In the next step, Dong Xueli will organize soldiers and horses to launch an offensive against the large and small strongholds leading to the main village of Maolu Mountain, such as Phoenix Village and Shamao Village, to ensure that Li Laiheng is firmly trapped to death.
This is the difference in strength.
Dong Xueli, who had been defeated repeatedly, made a breakthrough on the Eastern Front with heavy troops, but the famous Manchurian Eight Banners were wiped out by the Ming army on the Southern Front.
As soon as the two are compared, the problem comes to the surface.
What's the problem?
Anyone who understands understands.
I am afraid that not only Wu Sangui sent a large number of secret military observers to Kuidong, but also Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, including Kong Youde's son-in-law Sun Yanling, all have secret agents operating in Kuidong.
Whether it was being used by Niu Qi to borrow a knife to kill people, or Dong Xueli's breakthrough through Tianyan Village, Wang Wu didn't know.
He was in a hurry to rush to Xingshan City.
At the same time, there is a tricky matter that needs to be dealt with urgently.
Even Mu Lima refused to cooperate with him to "call the door", and the rest of the captured Manchurian deputy capitals also looked like you should kill us quickly.
The angry Wang Wu really wanted to slaughter these people, but he really couldn't do it.
I feel distressed.
It has been more than 40 years since the old slaves were beaten and made trouble outside the customs, and the Ming army has never caught so many Manchurian officers at one time.
What a waste of slaughter.
The Manchurian officials refused to cooperate, and Wang Wu wanted to make a fuss about the captured Huguang governor Yang Maoxun.
Kindly invited someone here, and personally picked up the cloth for the other party, but if he hadn't moved quickly and blocked it back in time, Lord Futai would have bitten off his tongue raw.
Iron-blooded man.
Wang Wu snorted, with this blood, you are a traitor!
This is a traitor who should be a loyal minister and a righteous man, and it really makes people have nothing to say.
The problem is troublesome.
Calling the door sounds like a rough job, as if it is enough to shout two voices under the city gate, but it is actually a complex technical job.
Technical work is about a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation between each other.
Mulima and Yang Maoxun refused to cooperate, and they had to bring them forward, which gave Wang Wushi a headache.
He was sure that as long as one of these two people was brought to Xingshan City to take off the cloth group, they would never be shouting to open the door quickly, but to shoot at me!
In distress, I asked fifteen foreign language talents brought from the mountains to come over.
It's really please, very polite.
These Manchurian sons had not been mistreated since they were captured, and they had not even been beaten or scolded.
It's not that the soldiers don't want to beat these Tartars, but Wang Wu is not allowed.
Serving people with force is his main tone, but sometimes he also talks about convincing people with reason, and even convincing people when necessary.
As long as he can continue the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, he is still very accommodating.
If he hadn't had too many worries, and he couldn't really be the master of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, he would even want to use these Manchurian generals and his sons to negotiate secretly with Ao Bai and give each other face.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Wu asked about the two cousins, Nu Dahai and Anergen.
Due to their good performance and enthusiasm, the brothers took on the position of squad leaders of two Manchurian special squads.
"General Yu, if you really can't do it, you will be tortured, and the little ones don't believe that Mulima can survive it!"
The first to speak was his cousin Nu Dahai, who had long been unaccustomed to the dictatorship of the Aobai brothers, especially his cousin's Fei Yanggu family, who was formerly the deputy commander of the Yellow Flag, was wiped out by Aobai a few years ago.
The reason is that Feiyangu's son Uhe, who was a first-class guard by the emperor's side, was very unaccustomed to Aobai, and was not very polite to this traitor in front of the emperor, and Aobai held a grudge for this.
Last year, Ao Bai then executed Wu He and others on charges of riding a royal horse and shooting a deer with a royal bow.
As Amma, Feiyangu hated Aobai so much that he was executed by Aobai on the charge of "resentment" and his two other sons, Nikan and Saharen.
The family property was not fully given to his younger brother Mulima.
Nikan and Sakhalian, two brothers, grew up together with Nu Dahai, and their relationship is deep.
But in the face of the tragedy of his cousin's family, Nu Dahai was powerless.
Now that he has the opportunity, will he not take revenge on Mulima to the death.
As soon as his sleeves were fished, he asked General Daming to give him a chance to perform, even if he pulled Mulima's tendons, he had to ask him to cooperate honestly.
"People are not afraid of death, so why should they be forced to die?"
Wang Wu denied Nu Dahai's proposal to torture him.
In conscience, it is not good for Ao Bai to fight this younger brother, but he still has blood and energy, and his son asked the Ming army to kill him, so it is basically impossible to expect to use torture to force him to cooperate.
I can't help but feel that there is no master of acupoints in folklore around him, otherwise just order a few acupoints to make Mulima unable to move, but he is just like a normal person.
His cousin Ergen had a nimble head, and suggested that if he could not be tortured, he would break Mulima's legs, and cut off his tongue and carry him to the city on a stretcher.
At that time, the battalion soldiers of Xingshan City asked, and they could just come forward and shout.
Wang Wu thought it was a good idea, but he could only break Mulima's legs, cut off his tongue, and find another way to make him unable to make a sound on the stretcher.
The reason is that he feels that there is still greater value waiting to be discovered in this younger brother.
If it's scrapped, it's worthless.
It doesn't matter if your leg is broken, you can pick it up again if it is broken.
The tongue is broken, but it can't be connected.
To do the whole play, more than a dozen Manchurian staff leaders and co-leaders were proposed, including two deputies who were unified and discounted.
It was up to Nu Dahai and Angen to do this work with their Manchurian translators and thugs.
Immediately, the screams rang out.
Mulima was really tough, and when his leg was broken, he didn't say a word, but his eyes stared at the boss, oozing sweat.
Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, sat motionless and watched the Manchurian generals who were beaten and broken, with both hatred and despair in his heart.
He knew what the Ming army wanted to do.
However, it is impossible to warn Xingshan City, which is dozens of miles away.
I can only secretly pray that the green battalion in Xingshan City can have a police officer, and see through that these Manchurian soldiers are all pretending to be the Ming army!
