The weather is cold and freezing, and the season for plowing with iron tools and oxen is only half a year. The rest of the time depends on food storage, grazing, trade, and most importantly, fishing and hunting to survive.
Nurhachi found another way.
That's robbery!
Rob the peasants, rob the Han people, and rob the Ming Dynasty.
The mere interception in the eastern part of the grassland was not enough to allow Hou Jin to live a good life until autumn.
Once summer comes, Hou Jin's cold resistance advantage will be weakened, and those southern barbarians in the Ming Dynasty will be stronger...
Saarhu was fought in severe cold, and this time is no different.
After convening the four major Baylors and the five major ministers to discuss together, they made a battle plan to attack Shenyang.
"Line the blue flag and obey the order!"
"Amin obeys the orders of the Great Khan."
"Starting from tomorrow, your troops will bluff and approach the east of Liaoyang, replacing the two red flags. But remember not to participate in the war, just bluff."
"嗻!"
This time he did not intend to let Xianglan Banner participate in the battle.
After two defeats, more than half of the Blue Flag was lost, and morale dropped to rock bottom. It was a drag on the battlefield.
Simply let them serve as suspects and wait until the situation is certain to win before stepping forward to "eat meat and drink soup" so that they can regain their confidence in defeating the Ming Dynasty.
The old slave looked at Daishan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji again: "This time the Eight Banners dispatched seven banners to attack Shenyang. We, father and son, are united to defeat the Ming army with thunderous force.
The southern army, especially Zhou Dunji's Sichuan army, was a bit difficult to deal with before, but this time I will show you how to deal with it, and you should learn from it."
"I will definitely follow Father Khan and do my best!"
The four major Baylors and the five major auxiliary ministers took the order and went back to make final mobilization and preparations for the war. This time all the men of each banner were dispatched, which was very different from the previous one or two banners where the main force was.
…
Da Beile Daishan, after returning to Lianghongqi, handed over the mobilization task to his subordinate Jia Laerzhen for execution.
I found out that Nurhaci had gone to inspect the white flag, and he laughed in his heart and quickly ran to the palace of the Khan's father.
The previous year, when Nurhachi went to the grassland and he stayed in Hetunala, he had already arrived at the palace of Nurhachi's wife Fuchagundai.
The guards and maids were not surprised and left immediately as if they had seen nothing.
Fuchagundai was originally married to Nurhaci for the second time. She had been his first wife for more than 30 years. She was already over 50 years old at this time. She also gave birth to sons Manggurtai, Degelei and daughter Mangguji. Her appearance was really ordinary.
She had some ability to handle political affairs, but eventually her beauty gradually declined and she was no longer favored by Nurhaci.
By some mistake, Daishan reached a cooperation with him.
At first it was just about politics, and even Nurhachi knew a little bit about it. He also said that after his death, his younger son and Dafujin would still have to be taken care of by Dabeile.
But when we cooperate, we become green.
Not only did Fu Chagundai fall in love with him, but he also fell in love with Nurhaci's other favorite concubine, the young and beautiful Abahai, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Jin Dynasty.
This could only be done by Daishan, because according to the custom of the Jurchen tribe, after the death of his father Nurhachi, Abahai would follow Daishan no matter what.
…
In fact, Nurhaci had already received reports from the harem.
Sometimes he thought it was some palace fight between women and didn't take it seriously at all. Sometimes he thought that Daishan had so many beautiful girls around him, how could he be good to that old and lustful old woman Gundai? ?
As for Abahai, he should be busy raising Azig, Dorgon, Duduo and others...probably not.
But there were too many reports, and he was quite concerned.
So after returning to Hetunala this time, I secretly arranged for close friends to observe in the palace.
When he came back from Xiangbaiqi and was still thinking that Du Du's grandson's ability was indeed average and he wanted to take care of him, his confidant told him the truth.
"How can it be!"
The old slave's head was so green that his son made him look green, but he still didn't believe it.
The confidant gritted his teeth, blushed and said: "It's all true. I heard it clearly from outside, and heard everything between the two of them...
The interval was almost half an hour...it happened again, but instead..."
Damn it!
The old slave's eyes were full of anger, and then dimmed into disappointment.
It's green...that's not the point.
The point is that he is still here, and he took action directly on behalf of Shan. Are you so worried that I will die early!?
It’s not that I won’t give it to you, but I’m still in better shape now.
It had long been because last year, Daishan treated his eldest son Yue Tuo and his second son Shuo Tuo very badly. He accused them of crimes and even got into a fight over things like the size of the house...
What a short-sighted son, I gave him two red flags in vain!
Because Daishan was not good to his son and had an affair with Fuchagundai and Abahai, Nurhaci no longer considered him as his successor.
I thought about my sons. My favorite Dorgon is 8 years old, and Duduo is only 6 years old. I will be old by the time they grow up.
Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji... I hope they won't disappoint me.
…
Arriving outside Liaoyang City, Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu's two groups of 5,000 people were not allowed to enter the city and camped directly outside the west gate of the city.
Yuan Yingtai and others huddled in the city. The city gates were closed and all people were prohibited from entering or exiting. They could only send messages through hanging baskets.
When Chen Ce led most of the Southern Army to arrive, there was still no one leaving the city. Yuan Yingtai took the lead and patrolled around the city wall wearing armor, fearing that Jiannu would suddenly appear from somewhere.
In addition, the scouts discovered that the soldiers and horses with the two red flags had disappeared and were replaced by blue flags.
Yuan Yingtai judged that this was an ambush set by Jiannu, and deliberately used the defeated blue flag to show weakness to the Ming army, hoping to make the Ming army relax their vigilance.
After waiting for five days, there was no sign of a large-scale attack by Jiannu.
During this time, the Confederate army outside the city was not idle.
Under Chen Ce's encouragement, Wang Hongyu quickly trained with Shizhu and Youyang chieftains.
The two chieftains have a total of 3,000 white-armed soldiers, 3,000 crossbowmen and 4,000 sword and shield bearers. They have previously been trained according to the spear square formation, cooperative combat, anti-archery formation and mountain forest combat.
Now, prepare for the final battle.
The bloody battle at Hunhe River in my memory was when the Sichuan Army, Shizhu, and Youyang crossed the river and defeated the two Red Banners first, and then were besieged by the Eight Banners before they were defeated.
This time we want to reverse the matter.
"An orderly retreat after a bloody battle?" Qin Minping, Lei Anmin and Ran Wenguang, son of Ran Yuelong, the chieftain of Youyang, asked with some confusion.
"Yes, Jiannu is good at luring enemies, we can also use this trick~"
The technique of building slaves is very mature. It can deceive the enemy into defeat and ambush in the mountains, which can often annihilate a large number of opponents at a very small cost. However, the Ming army rarely used this technique in Liaodong due to reasons such as unfamiliarity with the terrain.
Wang Hongyu analyzed it for everyone. In the haste of establishing slaves, he never imagined that the Ming army could also use this move to deal with the enemy.
When encircling, the number of cavalry is insufficient, so you can rely on your feet to outflank.
"But Jiannu is more familiar with the terrain than we are. Where should we ambush them?" Qin Minping asked.
"Only around Shenyang, we are more familiar with the Jian Nu... In other words, even if Jian Nu's spies investigate in every possible way, we can take advantage of this better around Shenyang."
Shi Zhu, the chieftain soldier of Youyang, started targeted training under his arrangement.
After special training in hand-to-hand combat, you can restore your organization and immediately change from a battle formation to a marching formation.
Train them to act in accordance with orders even if the cavalry behind them rushes dozens of steps away, and even dare to penetrate or retreat directly in front of the enemy.
These soldiers, full of blood and courage, were fully capable of fighting Jiannu in hand-to-hand combat, and their ability to march in the field was not weak at all.
As long as it is used in the right place, it can have a huge impact.
At this moment, a fast horse came from Guangning.
Most of them went straight to Liaoyang City to deliver the message, while a few others came towards them.
After taking a closer look, he recognized it as Qin Ling's subordinate.
Wang Hongyu frowned, knowing that this time it was true.
…
"Mr. Fan can take good care of his health first and won't have to participate in this war."
Sibeile Huang Taiji, who was tall and tall with a heroic appearance, personally gave instructions to a scribe.
However, this taller scribe, regardless of whether his injury was fully healed, immediately knelt down and replied: "My life is given by you, Sibeile. This time I conquered Shenyang and Liaoyang, the two largest cities in Liaodong. What did my servant say? You have to work hard."
"Hey, I will need more efforts from you to govern Liaodong in the future. At this time, it is the mission of the military to conquer the city."
Huang Taiji seemed to be persuading from the bottom of his heart, but in fact he was testing whether Fan Wencheng was so loyal.
If he really feels that fighting is the business of warriors and the work of governance should be done by civilians, then he must not stay.
Because to govern Liaodong and even the world, I must be Aixinjueluo!
Fan Wencheng had to work hard to be discovered and appointed, and he had long dreamed in his heart to accompany the most powerful monarch.
Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger. Of course he knew and understood this sentence a lot, so he guessed that Huang Taiji was testing himself.
"I think that the one who can conquer the world must be Aixinjueluo; the one who can rule the world must be Aixinjueluo!"
After Fan Wencheng kowtowed, he continued to add from the bottom of his heart: "In order to prepare for today, I have not only studied the art of war and strategies, but also practiced martial arts day and night. I am still waiting to serve today!"
Huang Taiji pretended to be concerned and said: "You can tell from riding the horse, and you can also tell that the recovery from the injury this time is very fast, but if you are injured, it is better to rest in the rear first."
"Master, I am ready to go to the battlefield."
Fan Wencheng walked out of the camp, first took up his bow and arrow, and hit nine out of ten arrows fifty paces away.
He also wielded his sword, spinning up and down like flying, and ordinary military officials were far behind him.
He can also ride a horse, gallop, ride and shoot. He can even move up and down on the horse.
Even though the wounds on his body were bleeding slightly, he gritted his teeth and persevered, determined to prove that he could stay by Huang Taiji's side.
"good!"
The emperor was so moved that he immediately agreed to let him stay with him this time and rewarded him with two good horses.
Looking at Fan Wencheng, who was half a head taller than himself, standing in front of him, deliberately bending his knees and lowering his head to make him a little shorter than himself. Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, this man really tried his best Thoughts ~
"You are doing all this to become a master, right? But you did not handle the Shenyang matter perfectly..."
At this moment, he looked at Fan Wencheng with a rather cold tone, his eyes showing a light as sharp as a sharp blade.
