Chapter 221 Amin's decision

Boss Zhao and a group of people looked at each other, and many people couldn't believe their ears.

Although they are all affiliated with the most elite Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years. Both the military discipline and physical fitness have long been corrupted and stiff, and the upward path has been controlled by the generals in the army. It is very difficult for a soldier who has no qualifications and no background to become a hundred households (President). As for the officers who are promoted to more than 1,000 generals, it is impossible. Therefore, Zhao has been a young man for almost five years and is still just a small leader (equivalent to the platoon leader and other officers in later generations). Not to mention Lao Wang, he has been a soldier for decades.

"My goodness, Brother Daniu, you are now well-developed and have become the chief executive." Dazhuang also looked amazed.

"It's a hundred households." Yang Daniu quickly corrected it.

"It's all the same." Da Zhuang said enviously: "And hundreds of households can still be hereditary, but being a military household has been a matter for generations. If you don't have a good time, you will have to be tied to death there."

"What are you afraid of?" Heizi said disdainfully: "If you do it well, do it. If you don't do it well, we will stop doing it in the future. The legs are on our men, and it's not a single word to leave."

"Heizi, don't talk nonsense." Boss Zhao frowned and scolded. He had already seen the faces of the Jiangning Army cavalry next to him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Boss Zhao patted Yang Daniu on the shoulder, "Although I know you don't want to listen, brother, I still want to thank you for saving us today. If you don't have your help, I'm afraid our brothers and others will have to be here today."

Heizi also nodded and said, "Yes, we have been hiding for several days in a row, and even the horses have been killed. If we hadn't met you, we would probably never be able to run again in a while and we could only turn around and fight with them."

Speaking of this, Heizi said with some envy: "Brother Big Niu, your Jiangning Army is too rich, everyone has a three-eyed pistol, which is a rare thing! Can you let me see it?" Heizi rubbed his hands and felt embarrassed.

"Of course, just look." Yang Daniu took the pistol out of the holster and handed it to Heizi.

Heizi took the pistol and looked carefully. Looking at the pistol in his hand with a finely crafted handgun with a dark light, his eyes showed unabashed joy. The biggest difficulty in making a firearm in this era is that it is difficult to build a barrel, such as Lume guns, bird guns, etc. In this era when there were no mechanized machine tools, he had to rely on water grinding to drill the barrel with a drill bit. It not only took a long time but also easily produced waste.

Although the barrel of a pistol is much shorter than that of a infantryman, it is not cheap. A qualified three-eyed pistol costs at least eight taels of silver, and the quality of the materials in this era is not as good as that, so a pistol will be scrapped if it hits about 200 rounds of sperm medicine, so those who can equip the musket are all rich people.

Heizi looked at this musket and liked it the more he looked at it. For soldiers, a good weapon is their second life. "Be good, your pistol is made of steel, it's not cheap. I guess this pistol can at least two or three hundred pieces of medicine, right?"

"Two or three hundred shots?" Yang Daniu hummed and stretched out his index finger: "This musket will never break until one thousand shots of medicine is shot in each tube. How about it, it's amazing."

"One thousand shots, so powerful?"

Now even Boss Zhao and the others couldn't help but be shocked. This is five times the lifespan of an ordinary hand gun. Moreover, this is a three-eyed gun. One thousand shots per barrel is not three thousand shots? I guess you can't get three thousand shots of medicine in your life, right?

"How is it? It's not bad." Yang Daniu smiled proudly: "Our Jiangning Army not only has high military salary and good treatment, but also our commander said, "You can just use this pistol and replace it with new ones if it is scrapped. And each person can get up to two self-defense. How about it, should we come to our Jiangning Army?"

Boss Zhao and the others looked at each other, and they had to say that they were really moved. Although they were known as the most elite, they were just a group of Qiuqiu Bas who were hiding at the bottom and making money. If there was a better place to go, they would naturally not let it go. This was like the white-collar workers in later generations who changed jobs for a high salary, and they had no psychological burden at all.

While a few people were talking, Yang Daniu observed Lao Wang's wrist again and found that he had no allergic reactions and then injected him with penicillin. Half an hour after the injection of penicillin, Lao Wang's face finally recovered. At this time, everyone had enough rest after cleaning the battlefield. Only then did the former seized the horses and spoils on the way home...

"What... those Ming troops actually came out of Jinzhou to help Daling River Fort?"

The news of the dispatch of more than 10,000 troops could not be hidden. In the evening, Daishan, who had just woken up and prepared for supper, finally received the latest news from their whistlebrating.

The blue flag-inlaid whistle kneeling on the ground replied respectfully: "Da Beile, Er Beile, I saw with my own eyes that the Ming army did come out from Jinzhou towards Daling River Fort. There were about 4,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantrymen. I guess I could arrive at Daling River Fort tomorrow."

Amin's face was so angry that he said, "Hehe... I didn't expect that those Mingdogs were quite brave. If they were huddled in the turtle shell in Jinzhou, I would have no choice but to deal with them. Now they dare to come out of the turtle shell, then don't blame us!"

Amin was so angry, but Dai Shan and his friends' faces suddenly changed. Yue Tuo, who was standing beside him, quickly asked, "Do you know which army the Ming army is coming to us?"

"I don't know." The whistle-striking shook his head: "I only recognize that the cavalry is the army of Zhao Shujiao, the deputy commander of the commander-in-chief and general of the Daling River. This is the first time that the infantry soldiers and horses have seen them, but the equipment of this army is surprisingly good, all wearing red iron armor, and all equipped with firearms."

All were covered in iron armor and were equipped with firearms. Yuetuo and several generals with the red flag changed immediately. Gushan Ezhen Enteheng grabbed the collar of the whistle and said sternly: "Does the word Yang be written on their big banner?"

"That's right!" The whistleblower answered affirmatively.

"It's him...it's him! He's here!"

Enteheng's face immediately changed, and he couldn't help looking at Daishan, who had no words in his face.

Amin saw all this in his eyes. After seeing the expressions of Dai Shan and others, he couldn't help but feel contempt. Dai Shan usually relied on his hand to hold the red and red flags in his hands. He was strong and never took him seriously. Unexpectedly, he would be cowardly one day.

While despising the other party in his heart, Amin made up for it in time: "Brother, you have suffered such a big loss. Do you even know the origin of the other party?"

"I……"

Dai Shan only felt that his face was so hot. Amin said that he was simply sprinkling salt on his wound. It would be fine if he lost the battle. No one had ever lost the battle before, but after he lost the battle, it would be too embarrassing that he didn't even know who his opponent was.

Just when Daishan and his men from the Red Banner were ashamed, another whistle-snooping ran in and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Report to Dabeile, Erbeile, our spy in Jinzhou sent a message. Just yesterday, the Ming army commander Sun Chengzong sent nine thousand infantry and four thousand cavalry to help Dalinghe Fort. The leaders were Yang Feng, commander of Jiangning Guard and general of Nanjing East Road, who had just arrived from the pass, and Zhao Shujiao, the commander-in-chief of the Governor and general of Dalinghe River."

"Yang Feng, the gentry general of Nanjing East Road?"

Dai Shan and Amin were stunned at the same time. After a while, Amin asked again with disbelief: "Are you sure that reinforcements came from within the pass?"

The stall said affirmatively: "It's true, this news came from our old friends in Jinzhou!"

After hearing the news from "old friends", Daishan and Amin no longer questioned the news. Although Nurhaci was cruel, he did one thing well. Long before he started the army, he sent many people to sneak into the Ming Dynasty to buy many people, including officials, merchants, and scholars. These people either provided them with the latest news about the Ming court and borders, or purchased important strategic materials such as weapons, iron armor and even food that were urgently needed by the Later Jin Dynasty for them, or informed them of the latest situation of the Ming army.

They even bribed many generals of the Ming army. They were like a group of locusts constantly absorbing the nutrition of the Ming Dynasty to strengthen themselves. This old friend in Jinzhou was a nail buried by the Later Jin Dynasty in Jinzhou City, and specially collected intelligence for them. The source of the information was extremely reliable. It was Daishan, Amin and others who dispelled their doubts when they heard the news from their old friend.

"Yang Feng, commander of Jiangning Guard?" Amin frowned. He stood up and slowly hid in the tent. He shook his head in confusion: "I have never heard of this name. Brother, did you carry it on this person yesterday?"

"If the news came from there is nothing wrong, then they will be them." Dai Shan sighed lightly and smiled bitterly: "I, Dai Shan, fought a war for most of my life, and ended up falling into the hands of an unknown military household."

Yue Tuo and several generals of Zhenghong Banner looked very good. They still knew the Ming Dynasty very well. Once upon a time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, decided to be the foundation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. However, in just a hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty's garrison system had long been rotten. In view of this, the Ming Dynasty had to change the garrison system into a recruiting system. But now someone told him that the army that beat them to the point of garrison yesterday turned out to be a garrison army from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. How could they be proud of their feelings?

Amin and the generals of the blue flags next to him looked at them with a playful look. There were struggles in places where there were people. Dai Shan has been used to being proud of Amin and his blue flags in his eyes over the years. The blue flags have long been discouraged. Now they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to watch jokes.

Amin looked at Yue Tuo and asked, "Yue Tuo, I remember that you are very good at fighting the Red Flag. How could you be beaten like this by a Ming army from the pass? Can you tell me what's going on?"

"I……"

Yue Tou hesitated for a moment and looked at Dai Shan beside him.

Dai Shan closed his eyes slightly and nodded slightly. Yue Tuo then said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll tell you." Dai Shan said everything about the battle yesterday, and finally he concluded: "Looking at the Ming army, they are a unit of full firearms. We don't know how powerful their muskets are, but their guns are extraordinary. Not only are they powerful but also have a fast firing rate. What's more, their guns are very light and can be dragged away by one or two horses. We fell into the hands of these guns yesterday, and there are more than two thousand warriors with the red flag."

Speaking of this, Yue Tuo sighed softly. The Jurchens are small in population, and the total number of them is only hundreds of thousands. Yesterday, they lost 2,000 people, which is one of the few defeats in recent years.

After hearing Yue Tuo's words about this battle, Amin and several generals of the Inlaid Blue Flag began to be serious. Although they didn't like Zhenghongqi, they still knew the combat effectiveness of Zhenghongqi. Objectively speaking, Zhenghongqi's strength is at least stronger than that of the Inlaid Blue Flag. Now Zhenghongqi has suffered such a big loss in their hands, which proves that the Ming army that is coming towards them is definitely not good.

"Brother." Amin looked at Dai Shan and said seriously: "If what Yue Tuo said just now is true, then I think the guard army coming from within the pass is definitely a powerful force. I think our top priority is not to take down Daling River, but to work together to eat this lonely Ming army. As long as this Ming army is eaten, then Daling River Fort will naturally be our bag. What do you think?"

"It's true." Dai Shan nodded. As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom. After suffering such a big loss, he has already listed the Ming army from the pass as the highest threatening army. Now that Amin proposed to eliminate the Jiangning army first, he will naturally not object.

"Second brother, since you said that, where do you think we are going to fight the Ming army?"

"It's here!" Amin walked to a simple map hanging in the tent and pointed to a place and shouted: "Kurcao Ridge fifteen miles away from Daling River Fort!"

After dinner, Yuan Chonghuan, who was inspecting as usual, walked up to the city wall together with Zhou Xian, the former guard of Daling River Fort, and a thousand general came up to report: "Report to the two adults. Just now, our soldiers found that after dinner, many people seemed to have left the camp and walked towards the west."

"Leave?" Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Xian looked at each other and asked in surprise: "Have you seen clearly?"

"This?" The Qiangmaster hesitated for a moment before saying: "Because it was too dark at night, I was not sure. But there were still many people rushing in the dark."
