Chapter Forty-Three: The Old Slave is Stunned, and Loyalty is Promoted Again (Asking for Double Monthly Pass)

Li Xianzhong used the "Hongyi Cannon" to attack the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, mainly to try his luck.

Because he found himself in this world, although the situation is completely different from the original, history is often amazingly repairable.

After changing the course of events, the fate of many people did not change, but instead ushered in their own deaths ahead of schedule.

For example, He Shixian was killed by an arrow in an ambush while drunk, Yuan Yingtai committed suicide in defeat, and Ma Xianglin was shot in one eye.

So he wanted to see if Nurhachi would be seriously injured by the "Hongyi Cannon" as he did in history.

After being subjected to two rounds of artillery bombardment, the Jianzhou Eight Banners only retreated 500 meters in an orderly manner, keeping their formation outside the range of the Ming army's artillery, and there was not much confusion.

It is clear that this spell has not been fulfilled in Nurhachi.

After all, it has been six or seven years since he was shot in Ningyuan, and the role of finishing his life ahead of schedule is basically one or two years in advance.

Or maybe he has never been seriously injured by the "Hongyi Cannon" in history.

However, this solid bullet is indeed thunderous and rainy.

This is also a common problem of artillery at present, which seems to be amazingly powerful, but actually causes limited damage to the enemy.

It can be said that the blow to the morale of the enemy is far greater than the actual damage.

After all, the loud roar of artillery and the tragic situation of being hit by shells will cause a lot of pressure on the hearts of soldiers.

It seems that it is time to give some direction to the firearms craftsmen and let them try the study of flowering shells.

Don't look at the menacing Eight Banners soldiers under the city, Li Xianzhong is almost sure that they will not dare to attack the city easily.

Now there are more than 20,000 banners left in the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, and they can only rely on the Han army with low combat power to replenish the number.

Under the control of its own arms embargo and strategic materials, the number of war horses in Jianzhou is already difficult to maintain, let alone the quality of soldiers.

At this time, Nurhachi under the city was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and it seemed that the Ming army in the city was well prepared.

Although there may only be a few thousand people, they are all the main ironclad forces of the Ming army, and if he wants to storm the Boundary Domain, I am afraid that all his troops will be consumed here.

It is also unrealistic to take a siege, I have prepared a lot of food in the Boundary Domain City before, and it is estimated that it has all fallen into the hands of the Ming army at this moment.

The Ming army in the city was not short of food, and if their main force was consumed in the Boundary Domain City for a long time, the Kuandian area and Hetuara in the south would definitely be raided by the Ming army.

But now Zilharang is still in the hands of the Ming army, and the blue flag can be said to be almost wiped out except for the few hundred bannermen who remained in Hetuala.

Withdrawing troops like this will have a great impact on one's morale and prestige.

Seeing Nurhachi's face embarrassed, Fan Wenyu knew that his opportunity to perform had come again.

As one of the most important undercover agents in the Intelligence Department today, his first task is to protect himself.

So after proposing a plan to go south to Korea, he rarely interfered in the decision-making of the state again.

This is also a requirement of the Intelligence Department, so that it will not easily expose itself and arouse the suspicion of the old slave.

But he couldn't let go of this opportunity to solve the problems of the Great Khan.

So Fan Wenhuan said: "Qi Great Khan, the Ming army has already occupied the Boundary Domain City first, and we have lost the first hand, so it may not be a good strategy to attack at this time." ”

Fan Wenyu's words spoke Nurhachi's heart, and someone finally gave him a step.

He quickly said, "Does Mr. Fan already have a plan to deal with it?" ”

Fan Wenhuan hurriedly said: "It has been nearly 3 months since my Dajin fought with the Ming army in Kuandian, although we gave up Hongtou Mountain and lost the Boundary Domain City, but we only lost the barren land of the original Hada hometown. ”

However, he seized the territory of 600 li of Kwandian and the vast territory of Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in Korea. My Daikin has seen unprecedented growth in terms of territory, population, money and food. ”

"At present, we urgently need to recuperate and transform these resources into the national strength and strength of our Dajin."

"Therefore, the minions suggested that we could exchange the remnants of Ma Xianglin who were surrounded in Kuandian Fort for Zilharang, and the two sides would temporarily suspend their troops on the southern front with the eastern border wall of Liaodong and the northern line with the boundary of the feudal city."

"In this way, we can completely control the Kwandian region and consolidate our rule over North Korea. The loss of the Boundary Castle has compressed our space on the northern front. ”

"However, there are still many places between Fushun Pass and Hetuala, which are suitable for building cities to block the Ming army, and as long as I levy a large number of laborers from North Korea, I can build a city in a short period of time to ensure the safety of the northern front."

Fan Wenhuan's opinion was quickly recognized by everyone, and under the current circumstances, Daikin really needs to recuperate and regain his strength.

If they continue to fight, their Jianzhou bannermen will be wiped out.

But Daikin wants to make peace, but Daming is willing?

Daming did not recognize Dajin at all, and it was impossible for Li Xianzhong to make peace with Dajin in private.

The previous resumption of trade with Jianzhou was tacit between the two sides, and Li Xianzhong did not come forward at all.

Nurhachi said: "I wonder if Mr. Fan has a way to negotiate peace? ”

Fan Wenyu said: "It is impossible for Li Xianzhong to negotiate peace with us, so I think he will use negotiation to exchange prisoners, and he will tacitly agree with both sides of the peace negotiation!" ”

Soon, Fan Wenyu took two retinues and marched towards the Boundary Domain.

When the Ming army saw that they were only three horsemen and did not carry weapons, they let them come to the city.

I saw Fan Wenhuan clear his throat and shouted: "This envoy is Fan Wenhuan, the third-class deputy general of Dajin, who came to negotiate the exchange for Zilharang on the order of the Great Khan, and please let me enter the city to discuss in detail?" ”

Li Xianzhong can basically guess the meaning of Fan Wenhuan, and it seems that Nurhachi doesn't want to fight.

He occupies the two lands of Kuandian and North Korea, and now he wants to settle in his pocket, how can there be such a cheap thing?

Although he also needs time to develop his armaments and reorganize the army, he can't tell the truth, and if he openly contacts Houjin, he can't let those Donglin Party members spray to death.

So he had an idea and said to Mao Yuanyi: "I want to write a document to denounce Jianyu, and ask Brother Mao to write a record for me." ”

Mao Yuanyi originally thought that Li Xianzhong would let him write a copy for him, but he didn't expect him to say a "Discussion for Construction" in one go.

Although this article is based on King Luo Bin's "Seeking Wu Cao", it is really surprising that it came from the mouth of a military general.

Unexpectedly, this Ning Yuanbo is actually both civil and military, and his achievements are probably far better than Li Chengliang and Li Rusong back then.

Fan Wenyu waited anxiously under the city, but in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart now.

After all, this peace negotiation was his own temporary idea, not an instruction sent to him by the Intelligence Department using Fan Wencheng's family letter.

The Intelligence Department had given him instructions to try to preserve the White Pole Army at Kuandian, which is why he offered to exchange Zilharang.

However, the Ming army did not seem to give him the opportunity to put forward this condition at all.

I saw the Ming army in the city say: "I am the same Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou, and I swear not to stand on both sides, and I will not die!" Uncle Ning Yuan has nothing to say to you, this is my uncle's "Asking for the Capture of the Building". ”

Then the sergeant read aloud: "The thief chief Nurhachi, who is not harmonious in nature, is really cold, and used to be the slave of Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaodong!" I remember that his ancestors are all my courtiers, so they are quite preferential, and have successively awarded him the positions of commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, the governor of the city, and the governor of the capital. The Ming Dynasty treats the establishment of the state, like a monarch and a father treats his courtiers, and his grace is like the sea. ”

"However, he is a jackal, close to the evil and evil, mutilates his fellow clan, kills his son and slaughters his brother, so Ye He and other Haixi Jurchens have used nine coalition forces to fight for it."

"All the tribes of the Jurchen are all subordinates of my Ming Dynasty, so I don't want to see their fellow tribes killing each other and bleeding like rivers, but they are reconciled with them. Although it was taken in the power of my Celestial Empire, it was temporarily restrained. However, he is obsessed and does not repent. He took advantage of my unpreparedness to openly annex all the ministries. ”

"Such acts are the envy of man and God, and the heaven and earth do not tolerate them; It is still hiding evil intentions, stealing artifacts, and raising troops to invade Liaodong, so the Ming Dynasty has done its best to ask for it. ”

"Li Shi is loyal, behind the gate. The success of my grandfather, the kindness of the Dutch Dynasty. It is to use anger and anger to Zhi'an Sheji. Because of the disappointment of the world, Shun Yu pushes the heart. Raise the battle flag to clear the captives. ”

"The sound of the class is moving, the north wind is rising, the sword is rushing and the south is flat. If you woo, the mountains will collapse, and if you scream, the wind and clouds will change color. Use this to control the enemy, and the enemy will not be destroyed; With this effort, why not? ”

"I, the Ming Dynasty, have hundreds of millions of subjects, and I have a million. Liaodong soldiers, the same enemy! Xianzhong led the Liaodong Iron Cavalry into Jianzhou and attacked the thieves. Although I didn't do all the work, I also gained a lot. ”

"The thieves Amin, Abatai and the like were all beheaded, and Zilharang was also captured. The Eight Banners of Jianzhou, which Jianyu relied on, are now gone. ”

"If Nurhachi obeys the destiny of heaven, he should bind himself to the capital master to apologize, or he may be able to save his clan. If you are still obsessed, go against the sky. Dedication to the three armies, and then enter Jianzhou, destroy its city, kill its head, and destroy its clan! ”

"Let's look at today's Jianzhou, whose family is in the world!"

This "Discussion of Jianyu", angrily reprimanded Jianyu, and the Ming army in the city was all enthusiastic after listening to it!

The Ming army shot this inscription under the city with an arrow, and said loudly: "My Uncle Ning Yuanbo said that if Nurhachi has the courage to attack the city, he will let the horse come, and he promises not to kill Jilharang." If only you could go up to the top of the city, you would save him. ”

Then there was a burst of laughter in the city!

As soon as Fan Wenhuan saw this posture, he quickly picked up the text on the ground and left.

Although he couldn't hear what the Ming army said, Nurhachi also knew that this peace negotiation was basically no fun.

Looking at the grizzled Fan Wenhuan, he asked, "What did Li Xianzhong say?" ”

Fan Wenyu hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave should die for betraying the trust of the Great Khan, Li Xianzhong let us attack the city and relieve Erharang by ourselves!" ”

"I also wrote a text for the minions to bring to you!"

At this time, Fan Wenyu looked flustered, sweating like rain, and Huang Taiji knew at a glance that there must not be anything good to say in this article.

So he said: "Great Khan, we don't have to pay attention to Li Xianzhong, I think he wants to provoke us to attack the city!" ”

Nurhachi said calmly: "Mr. Fan, just read it out loud, Ben Khan wants to hear what Li Xianzhong said?" ”

Where did he dare to read this?

Fan Wenyu kowtowed vigorously and said, "This text is so offensive to the Great Khan, the minions don't dare!" ”

Nurhachi said with some anger: "Read, Ben Khan is not guilty!" ”

Fan Wenyu had no choice but to tremble and say, "The thief chief Nurhachi."

Huang Taiji saw that Nurha's red brows were deeply locked, his face was cloudy, and his secret way was not good.

The Great Khan will not be angered by President Li Xian, and now the Eight Banners really can't afford to toss!

Du Du and the others were furious when they heard this, if they hadn't taken care of Nurhachi, I'm afraid they would have made Fan Wenyu shut up a long time ago.

In the end, Nurhachi still couldn't hold back, he pulled out his sword and scolded angrily: "Li Xianzhong's child insulted me too much, the Han army is preparing to attack the city, Jianzhou Eight Banners bow and arrow cover, we must break through the boundary domain city and capture Li Xianzhong alive!" ”

It is true that Nurhachi was not an impulsive person, on the contrary, he was very patient.

Once in front of Li Chengliang, and even in front of Li Rusong, Nurhachi was very good at forbearance, and it was these forbearances that created the rise of Jianzhou.

But now that he has become the Dajin Khan, he still has to be wronged in front of Li Xianzhong, the third generation of the Li family, which makes him a little unacceptable.

Now that Nurhachi has stood up, he is no longer afraid of the Li family.

In this era, the good is not in the camp, and only Huang Taiji can prevent this tragedy.

He knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The Great Khan is familiar with the art of war, and he should know that 'the Lord should not raise a division out of anger', and he must not impulsively fall for Li Xianzhong's treacherous scheme!" ”

Just when Huang Taiji's persuasion was fruitless, the sentinel arrived on a flying horse and said: "Not long after the army of the Great Khan returned to the division, a 3,000-strong Ming army ironclad cavalry appeared near Kuandian Fort. The defending Han army was no match for them, so they had to give up the encirclement of Kuandian Fort. ”

"At present, this Ming army has evacuated Kuandian Fort together with the remaining Ming troops in the fort, and Kuandian Fort has been recovered by our army!"

Nurhachi, who heard the news, was even more furious, and he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he actually fainted.

This frightened the Jianzhou ministers present.

The Great Khan was unconscious, and the Great Belle Daishan and the three Beyler Mang Gurtai were not here, so naturally they could only listen to the Four Beyler Emperor Taiji.

He hastened to order the retreat of the army on the grounds that the Great Khan was unwell, and the army turned around and slowly retreated to Hetuala.

In order to prevent the Ming army from pursuing him, he also left Du Du Palace.

In fact, Nurhachi woke up very early, but at this time he could only return to Hetuara in the chariot pretending to be seriously ill.

Why didn't he understand what Huang Taiji said?

But the dignified Dajin Khan was so humiliated by a child of the Li family, he couldn't be indifferent, right?

His nephew Zilharang was captured by the Ming army, he must try to rescue him, right? His fainting this time was also a half-truth, nothing more than to find a suitable step for himself to retreat.

Fan Wenhuan on the side said with relief: "Don't worry, I think the peace has been made this time!" ”

Nurhachi asked excitedly, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Fan Wenhuan said: "The ironclad cavalry of the assault should be Li Xianzhong's 'assault battalion'. Li Xianzhong insisted on the city of the Boundary Domain and gave up Kuandian Fort, isn't it the tacit understanding we are pursuing? ”

"If it is really like what he said in the text, he will not share the sky with my big gold. So how could he just raise the prices of all kinds of goods and keep cutting off our trade routes? ”

If it weren't for Mr. Fan's reminder, he would have almost been deceived by his letter.

But he felt a deep fear of deceiving the world and stealing his name, and he was loyal to him.

Although this Li Xianzhong is young, his methods are more ruthless than the original Li Chengliang, and I hope he will not become the gravedigger of Dajin.

It is a pity that the Qiding of Jianzhou has suffered heavy casualties, and it is necessary to arrange for the descendants of the Jurchens of Korea to join Jianzhou, as well as to build new cities and train the Han army as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Daikin now has sufficient supplies, and as long as it takes time, it can still recover quickly.

Daikin's policy also had to be readjusted, and both the Han Chinese, the Koreans, and even the Mongols had to include them in the Eight Banners in order to maintain enough banners.

At this time, Zhao led 3,000 "assault battalions" and Ma Xianglin and more than 300 remnants of the White Pole Army to return to Yahu Pass.

Zhao Shujiao was originally a general of Yansui, but was later impeached and dismissed by the imperial history, and during the Battle of Salhu, he joined Juniper's Western Route Army with his uncle Zhao Menglin.

originally wanted to make a comeback with military exploits, but unexpectedly, the Western Route Army was wiped out, and he himself was seriously injured.

Like Man Gui, he was directly transferred to the Kaiyuan Army by Li Xianzhong, and Li Xianzhong restored his status as a general.

Originally, the assault battalion was personally led by Li Sanshun, but Li Sanshun was responsible for attacking the Boundary Domain City this time. Therefore, let Zhao, who has rich combat experience, lead the troops to rescue Kuandian.

When they returned to the Yahu Pass, Yan Mingtai, the governor of Liaodong, personally came to greet them.

Due to the heavy casualties of the men and horses of the Xuanwei Division in the southwest, the white pole soldiers who were also the Tusi army in the southwest fell into a heavy siege again.

Li Xianzhong has always refused to go out of the customs to rescue, which makes these southwest Tusi quite dissatisfied with the imperial court, if it is not for the timely payment of the imperial court's pension, they are afraid that they will have to pick their sons and leave.

This time, Zhao Shujiao's rescue of Ma Xianglin and others can be regarded as fulfilling Li Xianzhong's promise.

In the face of the encirclement of tens of thousands of Jianzhou's main forces, the white pole soldiers could hold out for nearly three months, and also annihilated thousands of enemy troops, which made the white pole soldiers famous.

In particular, they were able to ride on foot outside the city, and the re-creation of captured cavalry was an incredible achievement.

The battle of Kuandian was a heavy loss for the Ming army, with 12,000 defenders in Kuandian, and in the end, only 8 Qijia soldiers and more than 300 white-pole soldiers survived.

And He Shixian even broke 16,000 Ming troops in one battle.

The Ming army lost nearly 30,000 people and lost the six forts of Kuandian.

Although they also annihilated more than 20,000 Jianzhou captives, most of them were Han troops, and their annihilation of the enemy basically did not have a first-level seal.

Of course, this pot has to be carried by Liaodong Jingluo Yuan Yingtai.

But fortunately, Li Xianzhong finally turned the tide, although the Ming army lost the land of 600 miles of Kuandian.

Li Xianzhong captured the city of the Boundary Domain, annihilated 3,000 defenders of the Blue Banner and beheaded 1,800 people, and captured the banner lord Qierharang alive, which can be regarded as saving a trace of face for the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of land, it is explained that the army lost Kuandian Fort and obtained the boundary domain city, which can be regarded as "the lost east corner and the harvest of Sangyu".

Moreover, Li Xianzhong's Liaodong Iron Cavalry conquered Wuji Pass all the way, approached Hetuala, destroyed Gule Village, and captured the Boundary Domain City.

In particular, the story of him angrily reprimanding the Tartar envoy with "Asking for the Capture of the Prisoner" under the Boundary Domain, and was so angry that Nurhachi vomited blood on the spot and withdrew from the army, which is already a household name under the promotion of the Intelligence Division!

And the version is more exaggerated than the other, and there are even rumors that Nurhachi is already so angry that he is whimpering!

Not only Liaodong, but also the capital was boiling under the impetus of the Intelligence Department.

Especially when Zilharang was escorted to Beijing, the people of the capital all stopped to watch.

I saw him wearing heavy shackles and being locked in a prison car.

A pigtail was tied to the prisoner's car, making it impossible to move at all.

And his face had already been smashed with stones by the angry people, and his head was covered with bruises, and he was purple and blue.

Of course, the saddest thing is the soldier in charge of the escort, who was greeted by rotten vegetable leaves.

Even the Donglin Party, who has always been incompatible with Li Xianzhong, also gave a high evaluation to this "Discussion of the Prisoner".

Soon, Li Xianzhong once again became a household name in the capital with this wave of publicity.

Objectively speaking, the Ming army must have suffered a loss in exchanging Kuandian Fort for the border domain, and the loss of the Ming army's strength was greater than that of Jianyu, which was a proper defeat.

However, since this defeat was mainly caused by Yuan Yingtai, a member of the Donglin Party, they chose to lose their voices collectively.

And Li Xianzhong's "Discussion of the Prisoner" made all the people think that the Ming Dynasty had achieved an unprecedented victory.

Next, the issue of Li Xianzhong's reward stumped the cabinet chief assistant Fang Congzhe.

The Ming governor in Korea that Li Xianzhong hung did not affect his military position in Liaodong.

This time I made such a great achievement, and it is impossible to say that I will not be rewarded.

After all, now his "Discussion of the Prisoner" has become a household name, and it is said that he made a lot of money for His Majesty in North Korea. Even if Fang Congzhe wants to fool the past, I'm afraid Wanli will eventually ask.

So Fang Congzhe asked Xiong Tingbi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, for his opinion.

Xiong Tingbi believes that in terms of ability, Li Xianzhong is actually the most suitable commander of Liaodong.

However, with the influence of the Li family in Liaodong, if Li Xianzhong is appointed as the governor of Liaodong, I am afraid that Yan Mingtai, the governor of Liaodong, will eventually be emptied.

Moreover, Liaodong Economic Strategy often has to hang the title of the right attendant of the military department, and the authority is too heavy, and he is afraid that one day in the future, Li Xianzhong will even replace him as the secretary of the military department.

Therefore, in any case, Li Xianzhong cannot serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong.

In the end, after repeated weighing, the two finally finalized the list of rewards this time.

Li Xianzhong's capture of the Boundary Domain City was naturally a great achievement, but Yuan Yingtai made a move after hearing that He Shixian was defeated, and it was all thanks to Yan Mingtai, the governor of Liaodong, who took over the command, so that the situation in Liaodong could be stabilized.

Therefore, the promotion plan of the cabinet this time is that Li Xianzhong, the chief soldier of Kaiyuan, will be promoted to the deputy envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy.

Due to the fact that Liaodong has now added two sites, Hongtou Mountain and Jiefan City, Fushun Pass, which was originally subordinate to Shenyang, was separated from these two sites to form a new Fushun Road.

Li Xianzhong, the deputy envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy, controlled Kaiyuan, Tieling, and Fushun.

Yan Mingtai was promoted to the governor of Jiliao and concurrently served as the governor of Liaodong.

In this way, Yan Mingtai is still the highest military and political chief in Liaodong, of course, in the case of a vacancy in Liaodong, Li Xianzhong can also meddle in the military affairs of the entire Liaodong, but he must be restrained by Yan Mingtai.

The vacant Liaodong Economic Strategy can also be used as a backhand to contain Li Xianzhong in the future.

Surprisingly, Wanli did not object, but approved the reward plan.
