Chapter 438 Discovery

The army headed north and opened up a broad road. The weeds, tidal flats, woods, etc. along the way were cut down one by one, clearing out a large open space. Then simple cement roads were built, and guard posts were dotted along the way.

, to ensure the safety of the back road.

Zhu Youxiao rode on his horse and looked at the original features of the Northeast. However, as he gradually approached Qiqihar, some things began to change. The original landscape began to gradually decrease, and the human atmosphere gradually increased. Many habitable places stood empty.

camps and houses, and even a small vegetable plot in some places.

This is a vegetable garden opened by Han craftsmen who came here. The farming habit of the farming people has been deeply rooted in their bones. No matter where they go, the first thing is to check the local land for farming. Needless to say, the land in the Northeast is

It's really black soil, especially the land we're on now, it's really fertile and flowing with oil.

It was the discovery of the Han people that gave Huang Taiji the idea to learn farming techniques. If such a treasured land was not used, he would be punished by God. Of course, this was also a decision he made under forced circumstances. Who knows

The enemy who wants to destroy you at any time will attack you, and everything will change like this.

"I don't know if Fan Wencheng's persuasion is of any use." Riding on the horse, Zhu Youxiao thought silently.

After the Jurchens lived there for more than a year and opened up a large area, Qiqihar laid the foundation for resettling immigrants. They knew that if the Jurchens were driven away, the place would be repaired and repaired, and it would become a good gathering place.

Moreover, it is located in the center of the Northeast. In later generations, it was a sub-central city with a developed economy and influence throughout the entire nearby area. It has a superior natural geographical location and can become the core area for local ruling indigenous tribes.

In addition, across the Daxingan Mountains here is the Hulunbuir Grassland, where Zhu Youxiao has not yet touched the enemy. If he takes Qiqiha'er and uses this place as a base, he can expand the grassland like the other party, plus the erosion from the direction of Baicheng

, both parties work together, and the land can be captured without Zhu Youxiao leading an army to fight.

Of course, the premise is that the Jurchens successfully moved away and started to move westward, otherwise they would have to fight only one battle in the end. However, Zhu Youxiao didn't really want to fight this battle. People would die in the battle, and his soldiers were very precious.

In addition, it takes a long time to train, so he doesn't want to fight even if he can use other strategies to solve it.

"Forget it, let's go slowly. If it doesn't work, putting a knife on Huang Taiji's neck will force him to move west." Zhu Youxiao really hates the Jurchen branch of Jianzhou. He doesn't want his descendants to end up in the end.

It will be integrated into the blood of the Han people.

"Perhaps we can start with Hailanzhu." Thinking that Huang Taiji loved women the most, Zhu Youxiao really had to think about the feasibility of this method.

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking, on the road transporting food and grass from behind, at the top of a hill, several panting Jurchens were looking at a concrete road not far away.

"Are you sure that a large number of carriages pass through here every day?" Obai asked again with confirmation. He finally found a road with his men and horses and found the route for the other party to transport supplies. Naturally, he had to confirm clearly, otherwise

When the time comes and the army takes the wrong path, it will really be over.

"Yes, yes, there are many carriages passing here every day." In front of him, a man with a bow hanging on his body and his clothes in tatters said impatiently.

"By the way, we found the place, where is my reward?" the man asked.

"Here, here." Seeing the other party's confirmation, Obai was not stingy. He untied the money bag from his waist and threw it over.

"Thank you very much." The man took the bag, opened it and carefully counted the Ming Dynasty silver coins inside, and then left with a face full of joy. Now these indigenous tribes also know the great use of silver coins, and they can use them to exchange for many things from the Han people.

.

"General, would you like..." Seeing the man walking away unprepared, Obai's subordinate suddenly made a gesture towards his neck with his palm like a knife.

"Forget it, don't create unnecessary complications." Looking at the outpost below, Obai slowly shook his head and rejected the idea.

After that, the group of them stopped talking and stood silently on the top of the hill to observe. The person thought that he had indeed not deceived Obai. This was really the logistics transportation route of the Ming Dynasty army. In the afternoon, a large number of carriages often passed through here from time to time.

.

It was said that a city was going to be built near here, so there were often carriages transporting various supplies. However, this was not what Obai wanted to see. What he really wanted to confirm was where the Ming team was transporting grain and grass supplies this time.

Fortunately, God may have seen how hard he was working and didn't let him wait too long. When the sun was about to set, the baggage team of the brigade came over, and perhaps seeing that it was getting late, he didn't wait too long.

Instead of walking down, we set up camp where we were and prepared to spend the night here.

"This scale of baggage!" Oboi looked carefully. Even though it was getting dark, based on his experience, he could still judge that the troops transported by the Ming Dynasty were blocked by more than 10,000 people.

"This is it." Obai waved his horsewhip excitedly, and then said to several of his men, "You go back and report to the Great Khan and ask him to send troops and horses over. He discovered the Ming army's logistics team."

"General..." Several of his men hesitated, as if they wanted to say something, and then Obei kept shouting, "Go quickly."

"Yes, General."

Soon, only Obai and one of his deputies were left, monitoring the logistics team.

"What, have you found the opponent's logistics line?" Qiqihar, hearing the report of the panting soldiers, Huang Taiji's face was full of surprise, God really helped me.

He quickly recalled the baggage team and where Daming was currently marching to, and found that there was still some distance between the two. If the baggage team could be eaten up, the frontline army would not have much food left, and the local area itself was difficult.

No food could be found at all.

At that time, the Ming army will die without burial!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's heart was completely excited. He couldn't suppress his joy and shouted loudly, "Gather your troops and go to war!"

Soon, after a flurry of excitement, the Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers gathered together, all got on their horses, and galloped out. After stationing troops in Horqin, the Jurchens did not stop their horses now, so all the soldiers had a war horse to conduct mobile marches.

When they reached their destination, they dismounted and fought on foot.

The rumbling army took advantage of the darkness and set off, then followed the safe passage opened by Obai, bypassed the Ming army sentries that kept moving on the front line, and attacked towards the rear.

Target, Ming army baggage!
Chapter completed!
