Chapter 322

Qiao Zhaolin struggled hard: "You can't catch me, I'm ...... I ......"

Qiao Zhaolin was about to move out of Wu Zongda's backer, however, he found a brocade guard holding a brush, ready to record.

Qiao Zhaolin immediately woke up, Jinyiwei is not Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, let alone according to the judge, when encountering an ordinary big case, whether it is Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, for fear that if the big guy above is implicated, it will be a big thing and a small matter.

But Jinyiwei is different, these guys are the emperor's captive hounds, specializing in biting big guys, the world-famous Yu Qian Yu Shaobao, the official to the military department of Shangshu, Hu Zongxian, who served as the governor of Zhejiang during the southeast war. Whether it is the cabinet boss of the famous ministers, or the six ministries and halls, don't talk about it far, just say the near, in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Yang Lian, the minister of Gu Ming, and the left temple of Dali Temple Chengzuo Guangdou, they all died in the edict of Jinyiwei.

Qiao Zhaolin knew very well that he bit Wu Zongda out, and the fart was useless, but he would let Wu Zongda go to prison with him, thinking of this, Qiao Zhaolin didn't struggle anymore, if Wu Zongda was willing to save him, he would do everything he could to save him, if he was unwilling to save him, then it would not be too late for him to confess Wu Zongda.

The Jinyi Wei Baihu, who was in charge of arresting Qiao Zhaolin, was very happy, and almost effortlessly completed the errand ordered by the above.

Qiao Zhaolin was then loaded into a carriage, transported out of the capital, and sent Qiao Zhaolin to Cheng Shijie, three thousand taels of silver was in hand, and cooperated with Jinyiwei, Cheng Shijie's reputation has always been good, saying that it is three thousand taels of silver, in fact, it is far more than that, and Cheng Shijie is very generous in bribing Jinyiwei.

An ordinary two-wheeled carriage, all the way to the bank of the Baihe River, after leaving the city, Qiao Zhaolin obviously felt that something was wrong, this was not the direction to go to Jinyiwei's prison, but unfortunately, he shouted and broke his throat and no one paid attention to him, those Jinyi guards were annoyed by Qiao Zhaolin, so they took off their socks that had not been washed for three months and stuffed them directly into Qiao Zhaolin's mouth.

……

Liaoyang, Sun Zhili looked at the latest information sent in front of him, Huang Taiji really didn't have a good heart, he just cut off the heads of the Mongols who froze to death or starved to death in Jiannu and sent them to Liaoyang for food.

Sun Zhilan smiled faintly: "Huang Taiji is smart, he will definitely lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot!" Don't you know that our handsome man has been prepared for a long time! ”

"What about the notice? Let's do it? ”

"Let's act!"

If Huang Taiji simply used military means to solve the problem of insufficient food for Jiannu, in fact, neither Zhou Ning, chief of the general staff of the Ning Navy, nor Sun Zhili, director of the Liaodong Management Committee, had enough experience to deal with Huang Taiji.

However, Huang Taiji is clever and wants to take advantage of it without suffering, so this time, it is exactly in the arms of Sun Chengzong, in the battle of the Daling River, Sun Chengzong originally thought that after Zhang Chun's troops arrived in Jinzhou, he would rest for a period of time, and then wait for the 8,000 men and horses of the Guanning Army, the 9,000 Sichuan Army, and the 3,000 Zhejiang Army in Shanhaiguan to arrive in Jinzhou, and there were 20,000 more horses.

In order to eat the 40,000 horses under Zhang Chun's command, Jiannu lost nearly 10,000 and won a miserable victory. But the problem is that Huang Taiji made a yin trick for Sun Chengzong, which can also be said to be a yang scheme.

Huang Taiji asked a merchant in Dalinghe to let him go out and let him walk in Jinzhou City to spread rumors, which was actually not a rumor, but what he saw and heard in the city. In July, when the city of Dalinghe was rebuilt, the city had not yet been built, and the army of Jiannu came to the city and surrounded the three outer layers of the city tightly. As the food ran out, the cannibalism began to spread in Jinzhou City.

At this time, the people of Jinzhou City couldn't sit still, and began to force Sun Chengzong to order Zhang Chun to reinforce Dalinghe City, but the result was an ambush, and the 40,000 Ming army went through a fierce battle, and finally more than two-thirds of the men and horses were killed, and more than 10,000 people surrendered to Jiannu.

Now Sun Chengzong gave the same trick to Huang Taiji, which can be said to be his own way, and he will give back to him.

In a dilapidated courtyard in the city of Shenyang, several Mongolian generals chatted together.

"Have you gotten food?"

"It's divided, each family is divided according to the head, and each person has a bucket!"

"Me too, I've also been given food!"

"Well, you know what? Where did this food come from? ”

"How?"

"It is said that the heads of our Mongolians were exchanged for the Ming people!"

"Ah, it's really fake, don't talk nonsense, if this word gets out, you're going to lose your head!"

Can this be said nonsense? Last night I was on duty, out of tolerance, to send a batch of things to the city outside the ten miles shop, in the middle of the road, a big car axle broken, the things on the car fell off, guess what? ”

"What?"

"Human heads, densely packed with human heads!"

"Then it can't be concluded that it is the head of our Mongols, right? Besides, what does the Ming want to do with his head? ”

"You don't know that, do you? One of Jiannu's heads was worth fifty taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming people bought the head from Jiannu as a military merit. So, a while ago, we were all short of food, and now we have food again! ”

"Hiss......"

A Mongolian general took a deep breath: "Don't mention this, I don't know yet, I haven't seen them for a while, it is said that the whole family has frozen to death, we Mongolians have never been afraid of the cold, even if every family freezes to death, you heard that there are nine people in a family, and all of them are frozen to death?" ”

"This is to exchange our Mongol heads for food for the Ming people......"

"Be careful!"

I don't know when some things about exchanging Mongolian heads for food spread in Shenyang. At first, it was just circulating in the streets and alleys, but soon it spread to every corner of Shenyang City, and then spread to the rear like a plague, and it was out of control in the blink of an eye.

The Mongolian tribes who originally took refuge in Huang Taiji were all soldiers in an instant, and the wind was loud, and their eyes when they looked at the Jurchens became unkind.

The crowd in the entire city of Shenyang was indignant, you must know that the Manchus and Mongolians intermarried with each other, and there were almost no pure Jurchen magnates, just like Huang Taiji and his fifteen concubines, seven of them were Mongols. Dolgon's ten wives and six Mongols, like Daishan and Yuetuo, are almost all in the same situation.

Queen Zhezhe, the daughter of the Mongolian Korqin Bel Mangus, faced with this rumor, naturally wanted to ask clearly, and she asked directly in front of Huang Taiji: "King Khan, did you exchange the heads of our Mongols for food with the Ming people?" ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he was furious and said, "Who is spreading rumors and disturbing the morale of the army? Thorough investigation! Be sure to check it out! "The Khan King was angry, and naturally it was not trivial, and the people below immediately dispatched and began to investigate thoroughly.

The process of investigation was not smooth, and the Mongols thought that the Jurchens were going to gag their mouths, and reacted very violently, and even started to fight with the Jurchens, and the situation was almost out of control.

In desperation, Huang Taiji had no choice but to convene a meeting of the leaders and ministers of the Mongol and Han Jurchen tribes in the Jin State to truthfully inform everyone of the details of the transaction with the Ming Dynasty, including how many Mongol heads were exchanged for how much grain.

At this time, the Mongolian generals simply believed that in the past, the head of the Jiannu belonged to the head of the real slave in the Ming Kingdom, with the highest grade and high rewards, followed by the Mongolians, why did the Ming army want the head of the Mongols and not the head of the Jurchens?

It wasn't until now that Huang Taiji came to understand that Ning Haijun gave him a yang scheme, and he had no way to quibble, such a large-scale transaction could not be concealed from people at all, even if Huang Taiji explained that the heads of these Mongols were all frozen to death, or starved to death, and they were just waste.

When a leader loses credibility, it is the time to perish, Huang Taiji is helpless, he knows that sitting on the wall and watching, sitting and watching the Ming army fight with Mobei Mongolia, his idea of taking advantage of the fisherman is shattered.

……

The news that Jing'anbao had been conquered by the Mongol army spread quickly. After receiving this news, the surrounding Mongol troops, who were storming in front of various passes, quickly moved to Jing'anbao.

At this time, Jing'an Fort seems to be the embankment that bursts, and the Mongol army in Mobei flocked to Jing'an Fort like a flood, and when the Mongolian army arrived at Jing'an Fort, Jing'an Fort was seen burning with smoke from a distance of more than ten miles, and the smoke was a signal, which made the Mongolian army feel very excited.

In the eyes of almost all Mongol soldiers, as long as they broke through the defense line of the Great Wall, they could successfully enter the pass, killing the cowardly Han people with their heads rolling and bleeding like rivers.

Along the Jing'an Ancient Road all the way to the south, after more than ten miles, it is the bank of the White River, if it is usual, crossing the White River, it is not easy, but now the White River has been frozen, the Mongolian warriors can rush over smoothly.

However, when the Mongol army arrived on the banks of the Baihe River, they were surprised to find that there was a field defense line on the banks of the Baihe River, and about two or three thousand Ming soldiers in black armor were using shovels to build a snow wall, and the snow was slapped with shovels, and the boiling snow water was poured on it, and it would freeze into an ice wall in an instant. This kind of ice wall is actually not very high, it seems to only reach a person's chest, that is, more than four feet.

Among these Ming troops, there were also many peasants dressed in the clothes of the common people, and they were busy burning snow water and building snow walls.

The most incredible thing for the Mongol army was that the Ming army's defense line was extremely long, and this ice wall stretched from east to west, spanning various river valleys, and it looked like it was five or six miles. More than 3,000 soldiers of the Ming army were arranged on a position five or six miles wide, which looked very thin.

Originally, the Ning Navy should have dug trenches and arranged barbed wire, which was the trench defense system of the Ning Navy, but it was a pity that the weather was too cold now, and the soil was frozen, so it was impossible to dig trenches.

Therefore, in this case, this is the only way to deal with it.

The cold wind is like a knife, and the twilight is like iron.

Thin snow flakes fell from the cracks in the clouds, adding a bit of snow white to this vast white world. Mountain dance silver snake, original Chi wax elephant, waterfall broken Qiong splash jade, if it is a peaceful year, invite three or five friends, bring a pot of spirits to the wilderness, enjoy the snow scene, it is a great pleasure.

However, in this chaotic year, this picturesque beauty is an out-and-out hell in the eyes of the fleeing people, the thick snow makes them unable to eat even the grass roots, the biting cold wind makes the birds and beasts flee away, the prey is nowhere to be found, and the human body is cut, cutting bloody wounds, making them cry in pain.

At this time, Jin Yiwei sent Qiao Zhaolin to Cheng Shijie.

"Spare your life!"

The moment Qiao Zhaolin saw Cheng Shijie, he knew his fate, Cheng Shijie was extremely strict in governing the army, since the establishment of the Ning Navy, there has never been a general in the Ning Navy who abandoned the city and fled, let alone a general who fled without a fight.

"I spare you, who spares these people!"

Cheng Shijie grabbed Qiao Zhaolin's sideburns and pointed at the refugees who were ragged and their feet were red from the cold: "Are you worthy of them?" ”

Looking at these people, Qiao Zhaonian clenched his fists. In a trance, he remembered his grandfather again. His grandfather Qiao Rui was born in the border army, brave and good at fighting, and fought with the Mongolian Tatars, and the most bullish one was to enter the enemy line alone, cutting back the heads of eight Tatars, which shocked Shangguan.

This old man is in his sixties, and every day he still wields guns and sticks, fiddles with stone locks, and works hard, and is very disdainful and even disgusted by his grandson's hollowing out of his mind to shoot horses and drill camps. He often said to Qiao Zhaolin: "Wearing this robe, you should work hard in the barracks, train soldiers, repair armor, and drill the camp to take advantage of the tricks!" ”

Qiao Zhaolin disagreed with Qiao Rui's teachings, Qiao Rui spent his whole life, I don't know how many battles he has fought with the Tartars, and how many times he has crawled out of the Ghost Gate, but he is only a vice president until he dies.

However, he relied on the upper and lower points, and became the garrison of Jing'an Fort before he was thirty years old, in fact, when he served as a garrison, he was six years older than Cheng Shijie when he served as the garrison of the Ning Navy.

"The Last General ......"

Qiao Zhaolin didn't have the heart to beg for mercy at this moment, he knew that Cheng Shijie would definitely kill him, in fact, Cheng Shijie would indeed not spare him.

Cheng Shijie said: "As a soldier, the enemy is currently abandoning tens of thousands of Li people and fleeing south, what face do you have to let Ben Shuai spare you?" If Ben Shuai spares you, how wronged are the people who died under the iron hooves of the Mongol Tatars? ”

"I'm following orders from above!"

"The order from above, the people above let you eat, do you eat it? Why don't you do it if you are asked to be a traitor? ”

"I follow orders!"

"Humph!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the admiral Ning beside him and said: "It's right for soldiers to obey orders, but do you listen to the chaotic orders of your superiors?" ”

"Don't listen!"

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Make a wooden donkey cart, let Qiao Zhaolin ride a wooden donkey, entertain you with good wine and food, and let all the towns and forts on the nine sides take a look, this is the end of abandoning the city and escaping!!"

Qiao Zhaolin's face was as frightened as earth, the wooden donkey was a kind of punishment, its shape was more than three feet high, as short as a bench, four feet down, and under his feet there were four rolling wheels, and on it there was a horizontal log more than four feet long and six inches wide. In the middle of the face, there is a willow donkey saddle, on which is tied a wooden pestle with a round head, but it can be up and down, as long as the wheel goes, the pestle will agitate. A donkey's head and tail were made at the front and back......

This kind of punishment is to punish women who do not abide by women's morals and cheat and commit adultery, and it is actually possible to use it on men.

Cheng Shijie's order was issued, and many Jinyi guards got this kind of torture instrument over, and put Qiao Zhaolin on the wooden donkey cart, Qiao Zhaolin's dung door was bloody, and he howled, not like a human voice.

Looking at this scene, the members of Jinyiwei felt a chill in their crotch.

If you want to say that they are ruthless, but compared with Cheng Shijie, it seems to be a little bit meaningless.

Of course, Qiao Zhaolin's fate was that he suffered by himself and couldn't complain about others.

Cheng Shijie then said to Zhao Wencai, who had just arrived on the bank of the Baihe River: "Zhao Wencai! ”

"The last general!"

"The reconnaissance cavalry, the guards cavalry and all the cavalry of the cavalry division have all been handed over to you, all the cavalry of the Ning Navy, listen to your command, immediately cross the pass of the Great Wall, and when you reach the Great Wall, it is all up to you to fight independently, don't care what happens in the pass, destroy the Mongolian Tartars you can see, this commander wants to see if the Mongols are hard-hearted, whether they can ignore the family and relatives behind them!"

"Whatever? Marshal, if the last general takes all the cavalry, there will only be five or six thousand people around you! ”

"Ben Shuai has the most elite infantry in our Ning Navy, and besides, Ben Shuai doesn't always hold on, Ben Shuai only needs to hold on for half a month, which is enough to let the Tartars know that their rear is facing a huge threat, forcing them to withdraw, can't five or six thousand elite soldiers even hold it for half a month!"

Zhao Wencai found out that Cheng Shijie was not only ruthless in governing the army, but also ruthless to the enemy, in fact, he was also ruthless to himself, more than 3,000 Ning Navy Guards infantry, plus some artillery, wanted to deal with tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, and there was no danger to defend, this difficulty ......

"Leave the Great Wall defense line alone and attack the follow-up troops of the Mongol army until the Tartars retreat!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Shijie's expression was a little hideous, revealing a chilling smile: "Ben Shuai wants to see how they break through the defense line composed of our army's breastwork, minefields, muskets and cannons in the wilderness!" ”

This is the battle between the chariot and the horse.

Cheng Shijie didn't have a better way, because the cavalry of the Ning Navy was limited after all, and the Mongolian army was too much, relying on more than 10,000 cavalry. The cavalry was unable to hold the Great Wall at all, and the only way was to attack the follow-up forces of the Mongol army and force them to come back to help.

If the cavalry is divided into small firefighting teams, it is really hard to say whether they can defeat the Mongolian cavalry that is several times more than them, even if they can win, it is estimated that they will kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000 themselves, and the Ning Navy cannot afford to fight this kind of battle, and after losing the cooperation of the cavalry, the infantry corps will be harassed and attacked by the Mongolian cavalry from all directions when they are trapped in the grassland, even if they are well-equipped and have powerful cannons, it is difficult to get out of the endless attacks, and it is not impossible to be dragged to death by the Mongols.

Thousands of knights galloped along the official road, black helmets, black military uniforms, black battle flags, and grim faces, all of which have long been famous in the land of Shenzhou, even children can call their names Ning Haijun!

They all carried oily Chongzhen eight-year-old rifles, with a narrow cavalry version of the Miao knife at their waists, cowhide bullet bags bulging, filled with pointed bullets and paper shells of gunpowder, the bayonet with four chilling blood grooves pinned to the thighs, the sharpness was completely according to personal preference, some sharpened it sharper than a razor, others were too lazy to sharpen, and they couldn't cut their fingers with it.

In addition to this, on their horses hung an ammunition pouch with ten bullets and some spare ones. The few weapons on these guys are all extremely sophisticated, and it must be very expensive to raise such a force, and everywhere they go, all the generals salivate and call them "good soldiers".

With the dispatch of the Ning Navy cavalry, this could not hide the observation of people with a heart at all, and not long after the Ning Navy cavalry was dispatched, Meng En reported to Cheng Shijie: "Marshal, if nothing else, the Mongols will soon get the information, and our Baihe camp has become an empty camp!" ”

"You come to command this battle, tell the brothers, give me a leisurely fight, don't open fire all at once, give hope to the Mongols, let them see that as long as you work hard, you can break through our defense!"

"Yes......"
