Three hundred and eighty third chapters embrace it with caress and prestige it with peace
I have to say that Ning Wan and I worked hard to meet Kong Youde this time. When Dayong got off the boat, when he heard the "welcome" mixed with the Liaodong dialect and the loud sound of gongs and drums coming from the shore, he intuitively returned to his previous life.
When I was studying, I came across "Welcome leaders to come and inspect". The hands that were holding the saber couldn't help but folded back together, and walked to the shore with head held high.
Cao Bianjiao was not surprised. When he followed his uncle Cao Wenzhao to conquer the northwest, every place he passed, local officials always brought gentry and common people to reward the army. It was probably no different from what the Manchu Tatars did before him.
Jiang Wanli, Song Qing and the others did not pay attention to the welcome formation put up by the Jin Army. They were sniffing the air with their noses one by one, as if there was something particularly fragrant in the air.
Dayong felt strange, and after sniffing hard, he discovered that there was indeed a strong scent of beef and mutton in the air. He couldn't help but be touched: "Ning Wan, I am so considerate, but I wonder if there will be a lady who will give me one as a gift."
Guo Yi led his guards and gathered behind Dayong. Guo Cheng, Li Gu and others also disembarked one after another. However, in order to prevent the navy from Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty from landing, the Jin army destroyed the original dock, so the navy's battle
The ships can only dock directly at the shore and can only use small boats to transport them to the shore in batches. Fortunately, preparations have been made in advance and many new boats have been built in Shuangdao that can carry ten people and three horses at a time. There is no need to worry about the soldiers coming ashore.
If there are fewer horses, the Jin army will counterattack.[
The intelligence obtained from Zhao Deqing showed that there were more than a thousand Jin troops in Jinzhou. Among them were only 80 soldiers from the Manchu Eight Banners and 300 soldiers from the Mongolian Eight Banners. The rest were soldiers from the Han Army Banners. Naturally, Dayong did not take these soldiers seriously.
.But for the sake of safety and to reduce unnecessary losses, he decided to go and meet Ning Wan and I first, and wait until most of the main force landed ashore before turning against him and taking action. Anyway, no one of the Jin troops on the shore recognized Kong Youde.
Mao Da, Mao Chenglu, and Kong Youde are dead. Of the three lowly guests who surrendered, only Geng Zhongming is left. This is a treasure. Dayong will take him with him in case anything unexpected happens, such as a sudden appearance of a man in the Jin army.
As someone who knows Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming can come forward to prove something.
"Damn it, Shi Dayong took people to eat meat and left me here to enjoy the sea breeze?"
The one who made this complaint was Shang Kexi, the "forced conscript" of Shuangdao Guerrilla, who was busy lifting cannons off the warship with his soldiers with a sour look on his face.
After confirming that it was Kong Youde's fleet, Da Su and Ning Wanwo were completely relieved. Balla and Wu Rugeng were also relieved, but they still stood there tall and tall, matching their red flags.
It looks majestic.
To caress them with one's heart and calm them with authority. Da Su, who often listens to the teachings of Tiancong Khan by the Khan King, naturally knows that in order to win over the hearts of others, in addition to making them shed tears of gratitude in terms of rewards, he must also make them feel the great wealth.
Only in this way can they be grateful and not dare to have second thoughts. The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry with bright armor are the most direct manifestation of the majesty of the Jin Dynasty. With such a powerful army, how dare Kong Youde not bow his head and obey orders.
There were more than a hundred large ships of the Ming army, and small boats were lowered on each ship. Looking from a distance, there were actually war horses on board. This surprised Da Su, but considering that Kong Youde had been making trouble in Denglai for so long, it was impossible.
Not even a single war horse could be found, and he was immediately relieved. No matter how many horses there were, there could be more horses than the Kingdom of Jin. Besides, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Kong Youde was stronger, at least he could invest less money in them.
Ge Mingchang reminded Dasukong that there were cavalry in the Kong tribe, so he should be more careful. Regarding this suggestion, Ning Wanme smiled and rejected it, "Kong Youde came back sincerely. There is no doubt about this. How can we guard him like a thief?"
What if Kong Youde becomes disloyal and does not come to join me? The King of Khan often said that if you trust someone, do not use him, but if you employ someone, do not trust him. Now that I, Dajin, have taken Kong Youde in, I should not be wary of him. This is not the way to handle things.
"
"Yes, Kong Youde has been drifting on the sea for so long. What he hopes most is to have a foothold. Now that I have given him a lot of money, he will only be grateful, so how can he have any dissatisfaction? Haha, don't say that he only has cavalry.
So what if there are several times more? With these Eight Banners men here, no matter how many cavalry they have, they will only add to the meager military exploits of our men."
Dasu agreed with Ning Wanwo's opinion, but Ge Mingchang just said it casually and had no doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers. Dasu said this again, so naturally he did not dare to mention it again.
After watching Kong Youde's fleet transporting people and horses to the shore for a while, Dasu stared at the group of generals who were landing and asked Ning Wanwo next to him: "Which one is Kong Youde?"
Ning Wan, how can I answer? He has never met Kong Youde, but Da Su's question cannot be ignored, so he said: "The one walking at the front is." According to common sense, the commander of an army must be at the front.
In the front, it was as if Da Su was standing in front of everyone instead of side by side with them.
Dasu hurriedly looked at the general Ming who was walking at the front. He was bearded, tall and brave. He was walking in front with a swagger, and there were many soldiers behind him. He must be Kong Youde. No.
Who dares to take the lead?
"Let's go and meet them, so as to show our sincerity."
Dasu threw the riding whip in his hand to Bai Yala next to him, and led Ning Wan and the two military officers forward to greet him. Li Peiguo and Ge Mingchang also followed behind with their soldiers. Zhou Wuchang met them over there.
, and quickly asked the drummers to play more cheerfully.
"When I heard that General Kong was returning with his troops, my king was very happy. He specially sent my general Da Su and the university scholar Ning Wan to come and greet me!" Da Su's voice was loud so that the Ming generals on the opposite side could hear it.
See.
Ning Wanwo clasped his fists with a smile on his face and said, "Welcome, welcome! General Kong has returned from hiding and led his troops. It is really gratifying!" [
Both of them were waiting for "Kong Youde" at the front to salute them. Unexpectedly, "Kong Youde" stepped aside and revealed a ferocious face behind him.
, gave me a place to stand, and sent General Da Su and Lord Ning Wan to greet me, Kong is really grateful!"
This ferocious face startled Ning Wanwo, and soon he returned to normal. He thought that Kong Youde had suffered a lot in Dengzhou, and it was a great fortune to see him still alive with such injuries. At a glance, he saw Zhao
Deqing was right next to Kong Youde, with a smile on his face. He smiled knowingly at him. He looked left and right but didn't see Mao Chenglu. He secretly wondered if Mao Da had not disembarked?
Dasu was not frightened by Dayong's face. He had seen all kinds of dead people, so how could he be frightened by a disabled face.
"General, the one among them is Hong Tai's Zhuang Dasu. Next to him is Ning Wanwo. Following behind him are Ge Mingchang and Li Peiguo, the assistant leaders of the Han Army Banner. The man on the horse over there is the Manzhou Zuo.
Leader Balla and Mongolia Zuo leader Wurgeng, they all belong to the red flag of Dai Shanzheng." Zhao Deqing whispered to Dayong on the side and introduced the generals of the Jin Army.
Da Su was Hong Tai's tent-pole, Da Zhuang, and together with Obai, he was known as the Batulu Warrior of the Two Yellow Banners. His stature was naturally the same. In the Ming Dynasty, Da Su's body would have been a fierce general. Da Yong was more intimidating than him.
He should also be shorter. In terms of strength, I am afraid that only Cao Bianjiao can match him. It seems that Dasu will be the first to be eliminated later, but we can't let him run away, Da Yong thought.
Looking at me again, I saw that I was about thirty-six or seventeen years old, with a fair face and elegant manners. Unfortunately, the pigtails on the back of my head were a bit distracting.
After sizing it up, Dayong took a breath, grabbed Geng Zhongming and suddenly stepped forward a few steps, and then bowed deeply to Da Su: "General, I'm here, I bow to the last general Kong Youde (Geng Zhongming). The last general has heard about King Khan for a long time.
Shenwei, I have long wanted to surrender, and it has been until now that I got my wish. From now on, I hope that the general and Mr. Wanga will take good care of me!"
Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli, Guo Yi and others also hurriedly bowed down.
"Hey, from now on, you and I are both from the Kingdom of Jin, and we are both ministers of King Khan. You can't say whether you care about me or not, haha."
After successfully reaching Kong Youde, he saw that as mentioned before, Kong Youde had brought more than a hundred warships to surrender. Dasu was in a good mood, and stepped forward to help Shi Dayong and Geng Zhongming, and asked, "I wonder where General Mao Chenglu is?"
Dayong said hurriedly: "General Mao is commanding his subordinates to unload the cannons from the ship. He will come ashore to see the general in a moment."
"Oh, I see, thank you for your hard work, General Mao." Dasu and Ning Wan, I have no doubts. Kongbu on the warship is indeed unloading the cannon. With so many warships and so many cannons, without a general in charge, things will really go wrong.
Ning Wanmei said: "General Dasu knows that the general has been wandering at sea for a long time, and it must be very hard, so he specially prepared a small amount of wine for the general to catch the wind. From now on, we will be a family, and there will be no distinction between you and me."
Da Su pointed his left hand backward at the temporary tent that had been arranged and said, "Please, General Kong!"
After Ning finished, I added, "In addition, we have prepared food and wine for the general's men to eat. They will be provided when the general's men land ashore."
Hearing this, Dayong looked surprised: "Sir, you have thought so carefully. I really don't know what to say."
"It should, it should." Ning Wan was very happy. He just saw the officers behind Kong Youde sniffing their noses constantly, with a look of anticipation on their faces. It seems that these thoughtful arrangements have not been in vain.
, Since ancient times, the most popular person is good wine and good food.
Seeing that hundreds of wolf cavalry were coming ashore, Dayong no longer had any worries. He was about to follow Da Su into the tent, and planned to delay for some time. After all the wolf cavalry came ashore, he would capture and kill Da Su in the tent.
After He Ning and my group were finished, the rest of the Jin Army leaders were ordered to take care of themselves without any trouble, but they saw a group of Eight Banners soldiers running over with hundreds of war horses. Those horses were soaring and leaping, and they looked like top-quality Mongolian war horses.
Dayong was surprised. He didn't know which drama Da Su and Ning Wan Wo were acting in. He saw Da Su and Ning Wan Wo looking at him with smiles on their faces, knowing that it couldn't be a bad thing.
Da Su pointed at the horses, and then said: "General Kong, General Geng, I thought you had no horses, so I specially allocated 200 horses for the soldiers to ride. But now it seems that this move is a bit redundant.
"
After Ning finished, I also pointed to the wolf cavalry troops gathering on the shore and said: "Look at the general's cavalry, their horses are all of the best. They are really a rare and powerful force."
"How can these cavalrymen compare with the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin? It made General Dasu laugh." Dayong was not polite at all, and immediately bowed to Dasu, "General, I am very grateful for your kindness.
." When he returned, he told Cao Bianjiao, "Take your men and pull these war horses down." [
"Yes, General." Cao Bianjiao was smiling in his heart and on his face, not hiding his great joy at all. His grin was so big that it could fit into a fist.
These two hundred war horses belong to Wu Rengeng anyway, and Dasu just used them as a favor. Now he can't refuse to give them away just because they have war horses. What's more, Wu Rengeng's subordinates are idiots and took the horses without his own orders.
When he came, he couldn't regret it even if he wanted to. However, seeing that "Kong Youde"'s subordinates were very happy, he felt that this strategy of winning people's hearts was still useful.
Seeing that "Kong Youde"'s subordinates were very happy for these horses, Ning Wan also thought that Dasu had done a good job. He smiled and stepped forward to ask Shi Dayong and Geng Zhongming to enter the account. After entering the account, Dayong was polite and then accepted
Sit down with your subordinates.
The banquet was very rich, including beef, mutton, fish, seafood, and fruits and vegetables. Dayong and his generals, who had not indulged in a feast since leaving Dengzhou, burst into laughter and ate happily.
Naturally, Dasu and Ning Wanwo would not be as ruthless as Dayong and the others. At first, they were a little amused. "Kong Youde" did not know etiquette, but later they became sympathetic. It seems that these wise generals really suffered a lot at sea.
, maybe I have been hungry for several days.
During the dinner, Da Su, Ning Wan and I asked some more questions about the sea situation. Of course, Dayong grinned and made a fuss. Geng Zhongming was also very cunning. In just a few words, he was driven to the sea by the Ming army, wandering without knowing where he was going.
The words of pain made both Da Su and Ning Wan feel sorry for each other. In the end, they even said it until their eyes turned red. With a "plop", they bowed towards the north in the direction of Shenyang: "King Khan has been so kind to me, I will never forget it for the rest of my life."
!”
Dayong was dumbfounded by this heartless performance. Before landing, he only told Geng Zhongming to be more involved when he met people later, but he didn't let him be so involved. He even knelt down to thank Fatty Hong.
Naturally, Da Su would not let Dayong and Geng Zhongming kneel for too long. He stepped forward to help them up with a look of regret on their faces, patted his chest and reassured them, and then the guests and hosts toasted to celebrate again.
Outside, Zhou Wuchang had been ordered to take the prepared beef, mutton and white rice to the shore. The Jinzhou Army who had already landed naturally rushed forward to take a look at them. The speed at which they destroyed the food made Zhou Wuchang sweat with fear.
Zhidi, it's better to be more prepared, otherwise the Ming army, which was reincarnated as starving ghosts, would cause trouble, and the Manchu masters would definitely not be able to spare themselves.
After drinking and eating, Dayong wiped his mouth and complimented Da Su and Ning Wanwo with a smile on his face. A hundred households outside were ordered to come over and report to Dayong: "General, all the brothers have eaten."
"Are you full?" Dayong said, smiled sheepishly at Da Su and Ning Wan, then turned to the hundred households and said, "Since you are full, let's take action."
"Do it? What hand?" Da Su was confused and looked at Dayong in confusion.
Dayong chuckled, kicked the table in front of him violently, drew out his sword with a bang, and shouted: "Of course I'm going to attack you!"
