Ning Wan is more concerned about these practical matters. He knows that Kong Youde led his troops to escape from Dengzhou without much military rations, and they have been floating on the sea for so long. They may have run out of food, so compared to those false welcomes, this directly gives Food can definitely win over the hearts of the people in Kongbu and make them determined to be used by Dajin. Imagine that a group of Ming soldiers who have nowhere to go at sea can smell the aroma of food as soon as they step ashore. , enthusiastic cheers, and the sound of gongs and drums that move the sky, this is definitely a shock to their hearts, and they will feel grateful to Daikin.[
Zhou Wuchang didn't know who Ning Wan was, but seeing that he could come with Mr. Manzhou, he naturally didn't dare to neglect and answered them one by one.
"Well, that's right. You've done a good job, and you'll be rewarded later." Ning Wanme nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Dasu and said, "General, let's go to the beach to meet them."
Da Su was just showing off his teeth, and he was just a general at best, but Ning Wan and I started calling Shenyang one after another. This was very helpful to Da Su, and I became even more fond of him. point.
Dasu asked Wu Rigeng, the Mongolian leader next to him: "Are the horses prepared for Kong Youde and the others ready?"
"We have prepared them. They are all high-quality Mongolian horses. Even the generals are a little reluctant to part with them." When Wu Rigeng spoke, there was indeed a look of pain on his face. These two hundred horses were not Tadashi's from Shenyang. What he brought was not allocated from Balla, but from his cattle records.
Each Niulu in the Mengba Banner is assigned based on their strength. Before Wurigen joined the Jin Kingdom, it was a small tribe that relied on Horqin. There were not many people, so naturally there were also few war horses. One Niulu had more than 500 horses in total. , now he gave two hundred horses to those generals who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, how could he not feel distressed.
"The general wants to give Kong Youde and the others two hundred horses?" Ning Wan and I were a little surprised, but I was not as distressed as Wu Rigeng. Instead, I looked at Dasu with admiration and said with admiration: "The general's move is better than what I have done." These are much more advanced, and I’m totally ashamed of myself.”
After finishing my flattery, Dasu laughed and said happily: "You are allowed to be given food by the bachelor, but you are not allowed to give me horses? Didn't you Han people say that you use one thousand taels of gold to buy a horse bone? Now I am giving two taels of gold." A hundred horses come out, how do you calculate the account?"
"General is really interesting, haha." Ning Wan and I laughed along with him.
Dasu turned to Wu Rigeng and said, "You feel sorry for just two hundred horses. Don't forget that they brought us hundreds of cannons and more than a hundred naval warships. , compared with these, our two hundred horses are nothing to mention. You should take a longer view, and don't always worry about this small profit. When our big gold takes over the country of Ming Dynasty in the future, what do you want? What’s not there?”
"Yes, yes, the last general is confused, the last general is shallow-sighted, the general teaches you this." Wuri couldn't afford to offend Da Su, a personal soldier in the Khan's tent, so he just said what he said.
Seeing that Wu Rigeng still had a serious look on his face, Dasu smiled and said, "Tell Balla to call you some more Aha later, so that you won't feel that it's not worth it."
Aha are slaves. Those Han aha are very strong and good at hard work. With these aha helping to farm the land, the life of the tribe will be much easier. Wu Rigeng smiled happily and said thank you repeatedly : "Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"
After Ning Wan and I saw that the sun had risen in the east, I said, "General, it's already broad daylight. Let's go to the beach and wait."
"Okay!" Da Su pulled the reins of his horse and took the lead in running towards the seaside. Behind him were ten yaalas with yellow triangular flags on their backs, following closely behind.
After Ning Wan, the two war officials and I also rode our horses and ran towards the seaside. Wu Rigeng came out of the fort and ordered the tribesmen to lead 200 horses and run towards the seaside. Two Han troops, Ge Mingchang and Li Peiguo, had already been ordered.
First, they went to the seaside to make arrangements. Zhou Wuchang handed over the gongs and drums troupe in the fort to his subordinates, and then went to ask people to boil hot water for cooking. After hearing the announcement, Balla also rushed to the seaside with his 80 cavalry.
.
When the sun fully rose, the whole sky above Wanghai Fort was filled with a strong scent of beef and mutton. In addition to the fort soldiers, all the Aha were mobilized. It was not easy to cook meals for more than 10,000 people. In order to prepare such a good meal
For a welcome meal, Zhou Wuchang found all the iron pots from more than ten miles around, and recruited all the wives of the fortress soldiers and the Aha people. It was a big fuss.
In order to show the majesty of the Jin army to the Ming army, Zhou Wuchang put up all the big and small flags that Li Peiguo brought from Jinzhou. From a distance, the flags were fluttering very majestic. This move made Da Su waiting at the beach
He was also very satisfied and repeatedly praised Li Pei for his work in the Congress and that he must ask for credit from the King of Khans. Hearing this, Ge Mingchang was filled with jealousy.
[
At first Dasu was worried that Kong Youde and the others would not be able to make it in the morning, but after waiting for half an hour, he saw large ships appearing on the sea.
When the ship appeared, Ning Wan and I also breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was patting his chest in front of Da Su and said that Kong Youde and the others would definitely come, I was also very uneasy. What if Kong Youde and the others went in the wrong direction because they were not familiar with the waterway?
Or be intercepted by the Ming army in Dongjiang. The former is easier to say, but the latter is like a cooked duck!
In order to prevent accidents, Dasu ordered Balla and Wu Rigeng to lead the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to stand ready. Once they discovered that it was not Kong Youde's fleet coming from the sea, they must prevent the Ming army from landing.
Balla had 80 real Manchurian cavalry, and Wurigeng also had 300 Mongolian cavalry. In addition to the 10 Paiyala he brought, Dasu was confident that the troops coming were really from the Dongjiang Ming army, and he could make the opponent turn around and leave.
.
Ge Mingchang and Li Peiguo also led their troops to be on guard. There were real Manchu soldiers. Ge and Li were not worried about the Ming army at all. They had dared to chase thousands of Ming troops after seeing a few real Manchu soldiers.
.
"Flag!"
According to the agreement with Zhao Deqing, if it is really Kong Youde's fleet that comes, if the red flag is hoisted on the shore, the same red flag must be hoisted on the ship. If the flags hoisted by both sides are different, the Jin army will immediately enter combat readiness.
The person who was ordered to carry the flag was Balla's personal bodyguard, Geshhar. He climbed onto the highest rock on the shore, and then waved a red flag vigorously.
As the flag was waving, the people on the shore had their eyes raised to their throats, and they were all staring at the sea intently, especially Ning Wan, whose face was tense and my heart was beating "thumping."
"Red flag, it's a red flag!"
Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, a red flag on a large ship at the front of the sea was waving in the sea breeze.
