Chapter 189: Will Hunting Jurchen 9
After entering Liaoyang City, Nuerhachi was still at a loss. Although he had already made arrangements, the city's defeat must have been too smooth. It was almost done with just some internal help. He just came here to go to the fruit farm.
This seemingly fantasy thing made Nuerhachi unable to accept it for a while.
But he is not an ordinary person after all. After seeing the scene specially arranged by Sun Chengzong before leaving, he thought of his title, Destiny Khan. I am indeed a person favored by destiny. Liaoyang's easy defeat made Nuerhachi completely convinced.
The saying that one's destiny has been given to oneself.
"Great Khan, are you chasing the Governor of Liaodong? He has just left." Suddenly, Amin ran over and suggested. He also got this news from some hungry Mongolian people who were lucky enough to survive.
This suggestion made Nuerhachi's heart beat. If Sun Chengzong could be defeated, it would bring him great prestige and spread his name as Tianming Khan throughout the Ming Dynasty.
"Poor Khan, you must not do it." Before he could say anything, Huang Taiji stopped him and said, "Although the Eight Banners disciples have won consecutive battles, they are still exhausted and should not fight again. Besides, the Ming army was burned down when they withdrew.
We have captured some food supplies, but we still seized a lot. The top priority is to transport all these seizures back so that the tribe can survive this winter."
When there was a famine among the Mongols, the Jurchens were not much better off. If not for this, they would not have taken the risk of attacking Shenyang while Xiong Tingbi was still in power. Such a risky move was just to plunder enough supplies for the tribe to survive.
This bitterly cold winter.
"This..." Huang Taiji's suggestion made Nuerhachi hesitate. He seemed to be a little dizzy from the stimulation of the continuous victories and huge gains, and he had forgotten the original purpose.
"You can't sweat profusely, and you can't miss an opportunity again. Now that the governor of Liaodong is running away in confusion, there must not be many soldiers around him. If you don't take this opportunity to seize it, it will never be possible again." Nuerhachi seemed to want to give up.
Amin shouted hurriedly as they pursued him.
"This is the governor of Liaodong, and he is also the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty. He has a distinguished status. If the Great Khan can capture him, he will definitely be able to spread his prestige far away, and people in the Ming Dynasty will never dare to look down upon him."
Amin's suggestion once again shook the chord in Nuerhachi's heart, proving to the people of the Ming Dynasty that he was no worse than them. This was an unspeakable secret buried deep in his heart. And now, he is the best
To prove the opportunity, all we need to do is send troops to capture the Liaodong Governor.
"Khan, no! This battle is full of doubts. It might not be a conspiracy of the Ming people." Huang Taiji shouted desperately. Perhaps because of the sincerity of his voice, Nuerhachi's somewhat confused mind suddenly woke up.
"Okay, give up the pursuit, transport supplies and slaves to Hetuala." Nuerhachi took a deep breath and finally made a decision. He was not an ordinary person after all, and finally restrained the thoughts that were about to move in his heart.
"The Great Khan is wise!" Huang Taiji said with a smile, but in contrast to him, Amin's face was twisted.
At this time, Sun Chengzong was evacuating the remaining 10,000 people to Guangning. The entire team was silent and the period was low. After all, Liaoyang was lost from their hands. Even if it was because of internal cooperation, they could not shirk their responsibility.
Of course, some soldiers frowned. They kept thinking about the stop just now. There were too many things in it, and there were all kinds of show-off elements. People couldn't help but suspect that it was entirely their own abandonment of the defense.
Liaoyang.
"Luo Yiguan, Zu Dashou, don't go back to Guangning, and evacuate directly to Ningyuan. Remember, take good care of your soldiers and never leak any information." Looking at the two generals following him,
Sun Chengzong calmly ordered that they would be kept secret for a period of time.
"The last general has received the order!" The two of them clasped their fists and took the order and left.
Soon, the troops began to split up, and most of them turned around and entered the Liaoxi Corridor directly, heading towards Ningyuan. His son Chengzong also headed towards Guangning with more than a hundred guards, and he was not worried about his own safety.
, not far ahead, someone will meet him.
And this man's name is Sun Degong.
"When we get to Guangning, we can send him out to contact Li Yongfang. Then we need to be ready to retreat. We should not only let the Jurchens chase them, but also not let them eat too much and return directly.
." Looking at the clear face of the protagonist Sun Degong, Sun Chengzong secretly made plans in his heart.
At Tianjin Port, Zhu Youxiao had received the battle report from Liaodong, and along with it came some secret documents from Sun Chengzong, which recorded in detail the process of executing his plan.
Seeing this, he just smiled faintly, not too nervous. This entire plan was calculated by him based on the historical trends in the book. If the general trend remains unchanged, the plan will never go wrong.
"Since Sun Chengzong has arrived in Guangning, the second phase of the plan must have begun, and it's time for me to set off." Zhu Youxiao roughly estimated the progress of the plan, and then knew that he should take action.
The second stage will be over in about ten days. If I don't set off, I won't be able to catch up with the final battle of Ningyuan.
"Imperial Navy, set off!" With an order, the gunboats that had just been outfitted and launched set sail one after another. Their white soft sails were like white clouds, floating on the sea.
At the forefront were two clipper ships with a displacement of 800 tons. The hollow bows allowed them to hold their heads high, and the sharp and sharp lines allowed them to effortlessly cut through the waves and move forward quickly, up to twelve knots.
The speed made them like sea elves, constantly jumping and crossing white lines.
Behind the clipper ship is the Galen ship. The double deck makes these gunboats look very refreshing. The gun windows on the side of the ship, although closed, are invisibly intimidating.
Using the large thousand-ton Galen ship as an arrow, the entire fleet of ten gunboats sailed forward rapidly in a herringbone formation. However, they did not increase the speed to the maximum. On the one hand, it was to facilitate the sailors on the ship to familiarize themselves with the square sail and the jib.
The operation, on the other hand, is to allow the Fuzhou boat behind to keep up.
The Fu Chuan section at the end of the entire fleet is the largest. This section can be roughly divided into two parts. In the middle are more than thirty large Fu Chuan ships carrying supplies of more than 2,000 materials, and are surrounded by about 300 large Fu Chuan ships.
Medium-sized fortune ships worth about a thousand materials. These fortune ships were converted into passenger ships and used to transport soldiers.
At this time, the Fu Ship was sailing hard, but the slow speed still slowed down the speed of the entire fleet. Due to material and technical problems, the hard sails at this time could not be made very large, resulting in the Fu Ship's speed
I can't get up either, it's always running at 4 or 5 knots, which is still far behind the average speed of Galen boats of 8 knots, let alone clipper boats.
These lucky ships were collected by Zhu Youxiao after collecting the entire Southern Navy. They were also the elite of the entire Ming Empire's old navy. However, they can only be used for transportation. After all, times have changed. From now on, firearms will be king.
era.
