"General Man, how far is the Daling River from here?"
In front of the foundation of Daning Acropolis, which was almost completely buried in snow, Zheng Haizhu faced southeast and asked Mangui.
"About thirty or forty miles."
"There should be thousands of households in Daling River, right?" Zheng Haizhu asked again.
"Ah, yes, it is the Qianhu Residence in Zhongzuo, Guangning. Some old people in our frontier army still call it Dalinghe Fort. Back then, it was under the control of Guangning Zhongtun Guards. Now..."
Mangui took a look at the desolate scene around him and continued with a sneer: "There are still people farming outside the pass. Dalinghe Fort is only one breath away from the ghost of Daningwei."
Ma Xianglin looked at Zheng Haizhu: "It was more than half a year after I was in Shanhaiguan that I heard Jun Jun talk about Daling River Fort for the first time. How did you know about it when you first came back to Beisei?"
Zheng Haizhu thought to himself, as a traveler who studies the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, just like I am not ignorant of the battles of Fushun and Sarhu, I naturally am not ignorant of the Battle of Daling River.
Historically, in another ten years, during the Chongzhen period, Huang Taiji, whose father had died, suppressed Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and other big Baylor forces in Hou Jin Dynasty, while recruiting large armies including the Mongols, through the
Passing through western Liaoning, they pounced on the Ming army who were repairing Dalinghe Fort, a military fortress outside the Pass.
At that time, it was Zu Dashou who was in charge of the Daling River and repairing the city battlements. He watched helplessly as Huang Taiji adopted a new tactic of "siege the city and fight for reinforcements." Although Ming troops came to rescue one after another, they were all defeated by the powerful Eight Banners.
After the army was defeated, the Ming army in Dalinghe City, due to lack of food, successively killed the civilians who built the city to satisfy their hunger, or ate the flesh of those who starved to death first.
In the end, Zu Dashou did not wait for the reinforcements from the pig teammates of the Ming Dynasty to show their wolf nature, so he killed He Kegang, who would rather die than surrender, and welcomed Huang Taiji into the city.
At present, although the historical context of another time and space cannot be fully explained, Zheng Haizhu's plan for Ma Xianglin and Mangui's journey must definitely include the crossing of the Daling River.
She then spoke solemnly to the two generals: "Although I have never been here before, I have always known about the Daling River outside the Pass. When Cao Wei conquered Wuhuan and Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo, they marched along the Daling River.
.Since this river is the only route from the land under our Han people's jurisdiction to the Eastern Yi and Northern Barbarians, and Taizu and Yongle are well aware of the severe border dangers in the north, they must regard the area from the Daling River to Ningjin as
It is an important strategic point for military strategists. Chongming in the south of us already has a thousand-household residence, so how could there not be a thousand-household residence in the Daling River?"
Hearing this, Mangui gave Zheng Haizhu a thumbs up with conviction, and then said with some annoyance: "Daningwei and Dalinghe should not have been abandoned in the first place. It is better now. Nurhachi has taken over Yehe's tribe, and there are so many in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning."
What's the use of our Ming Dynasty's garrison and fortification? The Tatars circled around from Yehe tribe and Horqin, and then went around to grab things outside Xuan Dakou? Damn it, I didn't even see Ning Jin.
People came out of seclusion to deal with the Tatars."
Zheng Haizhu lowered his eyes and looked at the several important places drawn by Man Gui with tree branches on the snow, and said thoughtfully: "Even if we go around, the Tatars won't be willing to go around for too long."
She picked up the branch and said to Ma Xianglin while drawing: "We have both been to Fushun, so that General Man can know that Fushun is much further away from Yuan than Ye Hebu left Yuan. You are both generals, if you are
Nurhaci, you can't take Fushun and Liaoyang for the time being, but in order to avoid detours in your march, will you definitely take Ye He's tribe with you and take Kaiyuan to the north of Liao Town first? With Kaiyuan and even Tieling, you can directly insert
Go to the Liao River Hetao where Horqin in Mongolia is located, and follow it down to Daningwei and the Daling River."
Ma Xianglin pondered: "Tieling is Li Chengliang's hometown. The Li family there has deep roots. How can he teach the Tatars to take advantage?"
Zheng Haizhu said firmly: "Have you forgotten? During the Battle of Fushun, Li Rubai couldn't seize the opportunity to take the lead with you, so he could only stop the Mongolian army. Your father-in-law did not dare to use
You use him the same way. You are afraid that he has a concubine in Jianzhou. This is certainly a reason, but it is also because the Li family's soldiers are indeed not very good. And precisely because Tieling Kaiyuan was the place where the Li family made their fortune in the past, Liaodong President
Zhang Chengyin is not very good at managing soldiers, so I am very worried that Kaiyuan and Tieling will be lost one day. Therefore, Xianglin, you and General Manchu should not stop at Longmen Guards. The imperial court should send you to rebuild
Daning Guard, then guard the Daling River. Yes, the new Daning Guard should be guarding the Daling River, not the Guangning garrison in the pass. In this way, if we join forces with Lin Dan Khan, we can go from Shanhaiguan to Daling River
, to Daningwei, and then to Chahanhot, the entire defense line is intact from south to north. Even if the Tatars pass through Horqin, how can they go west? Are they going to go around the fishing sea, no matter how far away they are? "
Mangui rubbed his cheeks, which were still stiff from the northwest wind even under the sun, and grinned: "Hey, dear, how many troops are needed? Even if General Ma recovers all his property, he will only have a few thousand troops."
?”
Zheng Haizhu smiled, rarely showing amusement to this big boss: "Do you want to have fun training the clan members?"
"What do you mean?" Mangui looked confused.
Ma Xianglin continued: "General Man, before Mrs. Zheng came to Xuanda, she gave the idea to Long Live Lord to pull out the descendants of the sects and vassal families from the fiefdoms of King Dai and King Qin to serve as soldiers. After a few years, they can lead the army.
Zong Lu."
Mangui couldn't help being surprised.
Although he was in Xuanda, he always guarded the border and did not go to the Datong area very often. He only thought that the Zhu family lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. Today, after hearing Zheng Haizhu explain a few more words, he realized that the original life
Those who are extravagant are only princes and princes. The more children surnamed Zhu not only have no land, but even their clan salary, silver or grain and rice are owed by the local and state capitals just like they poor soldiers.
Then, Man Gui's face changed from surprise to joy, and he smiled evilly and said softly: "That's good, I love to torment the recruits the most. What's more, if I'm not afraid of beheading, they still have the blood of the great ancestor in their bodies.
Well. Hey, that’s like, without having to pay for it, I slept with the courtesan’s wife who served the general manager in Xuanfu City, right? General Ma, you know..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Shut up." Ma Xianglin scolded this rude subordinate with a cold face.
In fact, Man Gui had a clear mind and knew that Zheng Haizhu didn't mind these details at all. Zhenghun curled his lips and turned his eyes to the side. When he saw the visitor, he immediately said in an increasingly playful and languid tone: "General Bima has a more handsome face."
Leng’s ancestor is here.”
He Zhuo crossed his arms, stopped opposite the three people, stared at the marks on the ground, and asked: "What is this?"
It was in Mongolian.
The three Han people's eyes, which were slightly lowered by the simple salute, returned to her face.
It’s not that this Ye He woman doesn’t speak Chinese well.
But Zheng Haizhu quickly figured out what He Zhuo was thinking, and said to Man Gui, the only one among the three who understood Mongolian: "Nanny Ke Dun is asking you, please tell her too. Unite Mongolia to fight against the Jin, and then
Build a trade road from Daning to the fishing sea like the one outside Zhangjiakou, I have also mentioned this matter to Aunt Kedun."
"oh."
Man Gui responded and began to explain to He Zhuo the idea of rebuilding the Daning Guard and competing with Lin Dan Khan's Chahanhot.
He spoke in Chinese so that Ma Xianglin and Zheng Haizhu could understand him, but He Zhuo still asked him in Mongolian.
Man Gui was confused. After talking for a long time, he finally couldn't bear the awkwardness. He raised his hands and said to Ma Xianglin: "Mo, I'm going to go to the wilderness, what about that."
Ma Xianglin waved his hand and asked him to leave quickly.
Zheng Haizhu smiled and was about to continue talking about plans with He Zhuo, but He Zhuo turned around calmly and left.
"What's wrong with this Ye He woman? No one has offended her today?" Ma Xianglin didn't even bother to glance at the back wrapped in a big cloak. He just murmured in a low voice, "It's not as good as that bastard Unger. At least the Mongolians don't know how to do it."
Showing off face for no reason."
Zheng Haizhu didn't think she was dissatisfied and said: "Actually, she didn't really fall out. It was good to let us go with her to Chahanhot. She has a weird temper this time, maybe because she misses her hometown."
