Chapter Twenty-Five

() Yuan Chonghuan did not explain or complain. He curled his lips and the guard holding Shang Fang's sword stood forward and raised the sword.

It's okay, it's okay, it's just a joke with the supervisor, we'll set off right away. The generals don't make any noise anymore, joke, keep making trouble, this supervisor Yuan has a criminal record, he still wants his head.

After the meeting ended, Yuan Chonghuan took a shower and immediately began to inspect the city defenses. This was the key to preventing Jianlu, and it was also his specialty.

The result is that if you don’t check, you won’t know. When you check, you will be shocked to see that Jizhou city wall is tall and majestic, with tall arrow towers standing on the wall, and a moat surrounding the city. These are all fine, but the key is that there are no cannons, or in other words, they are useless.

gun.

There are only six imitation Hongyi cannons in the entire Jizhou City, and only one of them is functional. The others are useless due to poor maintenance.

What does our Grand Governor Yuan rely on? A strong city, well, we have this, but we also need sharp artillery. How can we not have this!

What should I do? Jianlu will arrive at some unknown time. Building artillery now is a joke. If we transport it from the rear, we may not have enough time, and whether the rear can provide it or not is still one thing.

After much thinking, he finally came up with a solution that was not a solution: "Come here and find all the carpenters and painters in the city for the supervisor."

Where did Jianlu go?

Zunhua Governor's Yamen has become the residence of Emperor Taiji of the Great Jin Dynasty. There are heaters in the back hall of the Yamen in all four corners. You can't feel the biting north wind outside the window in the house. It's so warm that there's no need to wear thick clothes.

, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.

But Huang Taiji was not happy at this time. It had been two days since the end of the military meeting. The personnel and materials in Zunhua City had already begun to be escorted back to Shenyang, but Amin's troops who attacked Santun Camp had not returned yet.

, Logically, he should be back, but there is no news. Even if he is not defeated, or if he encounters strong reinforcements, he should send someone back to report the news.

Fan Wencheng's performance impressed Huang Taiji, so he kept it with him these days. At this time, he saw the worry in Huang Taiji's heart, so he stepped forward and bowed: "Master, why don't you let me come over and take a look?"

Looking at the respectful Fan Wencheng, he thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, the other Baylors don't want to see you Han people. I'd better send someone else over to take a look."

Fan Wencheng's face turned red, not as if he was ashamed, but as if he had been insulted. He replied to Huang Taiji: "Master, this slave is the bones of the Han people and the flesh of Dajin."

"Oh, haha, it's me, isn't it? I forgot. You have done a lot of credit this time. When you go back, I will carry the flag for you, and enter my yellow flag."

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly knelt down and thanked him: "My master is so kind to my slave, and I will live up to my master's kindness again." In the original plane, Huang Taiji died suddenly, and Fan Wencheng didn't say anything.

Ergon seized power from Huang Taiji's son, but Fan Wencheng didn't show any sign of it, he was just like that.

Another day later, news came back from the Santun Camp. It was said that the Santun Camp had captured the city on the same day as the siege. After two days of looting, they found that the city gates were blocked and no one who entered could get out.

, everyone was busy indulging. It took another long time to open the city gate. Now we are escorting people and supplies, and we estimate that we will arrive in Zunhua in one day.

Huang Taiji was speechless. He was so selfless in his efforts and his spirit was commendable.

On the seventh day of November, the large troops of the Santun Camp finally arrived outside Zunhua City. The dense crowds of prisoners, civilians, and endless convoys of supplies made the Jianlu here in Zunhua extremely happy. This was much better than struggling outside the customs before.

Well, the Great Khan is really wise! Many Jianlu thought so in their hearts.

That night, Big Beile Daishan, Second Beile Amin and Third Beile Mang Gurtai met secretly and took a thousand-mile detour to attack the Ming Dynasty. The victory made Huang Taiji's prestige unprecedentedly enhanced. Especially among the younger generation of Jurchens, many people were lucky to have one.

The wise Great Khan. This situation put unprecedented pressure on the three people who still coveted the position of the Great Khan, forcing them to give up their competition with each other and join forces.

The three met and attacked Huang Taiji collectively, especially Daishan and Mang Gurtai, who had just been tricked, and they attacked even more fiercely.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army, as all three Baylor could see, was not as good as that of the Dongjiang beggars in Liaodong.

The next step is to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If we want to achieve a big victory along the way, we are afraid that we will never be able to be on an equal footing with Huang Taiji in the future. Therefore, we must hold back Huang Taiji.

About a hundred miles ahead is another important town of the Ming army, Jizhou. However, looking at the situation in Zunhua, it is estimated that Jizhou's defense is also worrying. The three big golden belles began to carefully defend the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers.

This hundred miles distance can be reached in a day and night if the army rushes. In order to give the Ming army time to prepare and build a good defense, the three Baile decided to delay the journey and walk slowly, taking one day's journey as two days. During the day

If you can walk, never walk at night.

It is best when the army reaches the gate of Jizhou City and finds that the Ming army has gathered in Jizhou. Those who cannot defeat them should turn back and go home. In this way, you are good, I am good, and everyone is good.

The three Belles thought this was a good idea, so they went back to prepare their own tricks to hinder Huang Taiji.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, the gun robbery team finally set off.

With the Mongolian tribes as the vanguard, Amin's tribe as the vanguard of the army, Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, Daishan's tribe as the middle army, and other tribes as the rear army, they marched towards Jizhou in a mighty manner.

About half a day's journey from Zunhua, far away from the official road, there is a large village. I heard that there was a war in the north, so I was timid and ran towards Jizhou. Those who have family matters can't run away if they want.

, and I feel that Zunhua is the place where the governor is, so there should be nothing going on. There has been no war for so many years, so everyone is careless about it.

Zunhua fell in one day and night, and Jianlu was besieged again. Very few people escaped, and they all ran directly to Jizhou. They still wanted to go to the village to report the news.

The person running at the front of the team during the gun robbery was a small tribe in Mongolia. When they ate meat before, they didn't even get the soup, so this time they volunteered to run in front of the team.

After walking for about a day, the north wind blew loudly in the afternoon, making it even colder. The Mongolian Tatars did not hold the reins of their horses, but shrank their hands inside their sleeves. The robes on their bodies were made of sheepskin crudely sewn together and drooped.

Walking with your head down to avoid the wind.

Suddenly, a Tatar shouted. Everyone looked up and saw that there was a village with several hundred households not far away on the right side of the road. Green smoke curled up, and it looked like they were lighting a fire to cook dinner.

All the Tatars looked at each other, then cheered. They could no longer feel the cold. They stretched out their hands, manipulated the reins, roared, and began to rush towards the village, leaving only one Tatar to follow the big ones behind.

Troop returns.

The left-behind villagers who were not sensitive to war were in trouble. These Mongolian Tatars did not rob people, but only property, so they killed everyone they saw and robbed things they saw.

There were two Mongol Tatars who were smarter. After arriving at the village entrance, they didn't go in with the large army. There were too many people and they wouldn't be able to grab much. Instead, they went around to the back of the village, picked a house that looked like a big family's house, and rushed in.

In the village, there were no armed servants at all. The two Tatars charged in fiercely with knives. Most people would be their opponents, and no one dared to resist. They were hiding everywhere. They were killed by these two Tatars.

The elderly and children are not spared.

After killing the whole family, they started to rob their property. After packing a big bag, they found that there were a lot of new clothes. One of them had an idea and tried to put them on, but he couldn't put them on. Nonsense, you were wrapped up in everything.

Sheepskin, and then wear clothes made by people from the Central Plains, can they fit in?

After wearing many pieces of clothing, I couldn't fit them in, so I started to take off my clothes.

Another person saw it and asked: "Why are you taking off your own clothes? These clothes are not warm. Why don't you put them on and you are not afraid of getting cold?"

"Silly, if you wear these clothes inside and put sheepskin on the outside, you can keep warm!"

As soon as I heard it, I also started to take off my clothes.

After everything was done, the two Tatars looked at each other and burst into laughter. They were wearing colorful clothes and wrapped in gray sheepskins, which was quite funny.

The two Tatars looked at each other's trophies again. One of them was a little strange and asked: "Why did you take so many women's clothes?"

"Go back and dress the women and children at home."

"Haha, don't you see that you pity your sister-in-law?"

If the women and children in his family knew that the clothes he brought to them were clothes stolen from other people's women and children after killing them, I wonder if they would be comfortable to wear. Anyway, civilized people should not dare to wear them.

The Tatars behind arrived too late, so they started stripping the clothes of the villagers who were killed on the ground, grabbing pots and pans along the way, and almost demolishing the beams of the houses.

Those who came later began to turn over the deceased's hair to see if there were any missing silver hairpins or silver hair pins.

A village with hundreds of households is home to thousands of Tatars, and more and more people are gathering together. People are like this. They flock to wherever they see excitement. The envy that comes later comes first. Those who arrive first are given to those who arrive last.

Show off what you grabbed.

After Amin, who followed closely behind, learned about this situation, he drove all the Mongolian Tatars out of the village, and then started to camp in the village. Then he reported that it was getting dark and the road was difficult to walk, so we should eat first.

And I don’t know why, the vehicles of Mang Gurtai’s and Daishan’s troops walking in the middle always take off their wheels and turn over, often blocking an official road tightly, which is the traffic jam that later generations are used to.

No one has ever seen such a tight blockade.

Although Huang Taiji is sweating profusely, according to the rules left by Nurhachi, they are equals and must discuss everything together. Now that there is no threat, the weather is almost the same. The ones in front are not camping, and the people beside them are overturned.

It's really hard to use military law to deal with them all if they make a fuss together. He also saw through what these elder brothers were thinking, so everyone just waited and watched.

On the second day, having set an example on the first day, those in the front just grabbed things, and it took half a day to grab them. Those in the middle were stuck in traffic jams, maybe because the cars outside the wall were not acclimated to the customs in the pass. Anyway, they couldn't go very far in one day.

, it passed.

No matter how slow you go, the road will always be completed. As I walked, I was thinking on one side that the Ming army should not have gathered in Jizhou yet; on the other side I was also thinking that the Ming army should have gathered on Jizhou.

If Jianlu attacks Jizhou as quickly as possible, he can capture Jizhou before King Qin’s army gathers. The worst thing is that when King Qin’s army first arrives in Jizhou, it will be very difficult for Jianlu to arrive in Jizhou.

. Now being delayed again and again by Zhu Beile, the result is that the Ming army gathered in Jizhou has been dispersed. It seems to be God's will!
