() After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he took out a map (provided by Han Dynasty official Fan Yongdou) and said: "I have a detailed map of Jizhou here. The east of Jizhou City is about five miles away from Yanshan. The river is usually large and not good.
Passed, but now it is winter when the water is dry. I will rush to Jizhou City before noon tomorrow to observe the formation. If the defense strength in the city is not as strong as that of Jinzhou and Guanning, then we can capture it if we can. If we suffer more losses, we can leave.
Passing by the foot of Yanshan Mountain, I forgive Yuan Chonghuan for not daring to leave the city to intercept him. What do you think?"
"The Great Khan is wise!" the Mongols were the first to shout.
"What if Guan Ning's army cuts off my retreat?" Dorgon had some doubts.
Huang Taiji nodded and explained: "If the army still takes this way to return in the end, it can also take a detour. If the Ming army dares to leave the city, I am willing to fight in the field!"
Furthermore, when Yuan Chonghuan received the report of Ye Bushou and saw the two captured Mongolian Tatars, he secretly sighed at the bad luck and ordered the whole city to mobilize to prepare to defend against the enemy.
After Ye Bushou's men finished their report, they settled the two injured brothers and went to the quartermaster to receive their rewards. Before leaving, the two injured brothers asked Hu Hao to collect them on their behalf.
But who would have expected that what he received in his hand was only one tael of silver. Hu Hao got angry on the spot. Supervisor Yuan said it was thirty taels of silver. How dare you deduct it?
The quartermaster had seen this kind of scene so often that he didn't like Hu Hao at all. He said: This is not a place for you to run wild. I am just following the orders from above.
Thirty taels, but only one tael was given. The gap was so big that it could be spent with just one sentence. Hu Hao definitely refused to do it, so he led his brothers and quarreled with the quartermaster.
You wouldn’t be a member of the Celestial Dynasty if you didn’t watch the excitement. A crowd of people soon gathered around.
Some helped Hu Hao, and some helped the quartermaster.
It happened that Lieutenant General He Kegang came here on an inspection tour and saw that it looked like a vegetable market. This was what it looked like before the enemy came. His personal guards used whips to clear the way and walked over.
When the onlookers saw the senior officer approaching, they dispersed into the distance and stretched their necks to look at this side.
Once the onlookers dispersed, only the Quartermaster and Hu Hao were fighting like cockfighting cocks.
He Kegang, who was over 1.8 meters tall and dressed in robes all over, accompanied by his personal guards, walked over with sonorous force, putting invisible pressure on the people on both sides, so both parties had to come to see He Kegang first.
"What's the fuss about? Don't you know where the enemy is? Do you know what military law is?"
Hu Hao first complained: "General, in order to detect the traces of the main force of Jianlu, Hu Hao, a small bannerman who captured two Tatars at night, came here to collect the reward. The reward given by the supervisor before was thirty taels per person;
But this guy dared to deduct the reward and only gave us one tael of silver each. The villain is really angry because we still have two brothers who are injured."
Before He Kegang could say anything, the quartermaster also started complaining: "General, I am the only one who dares to deduct money. I am also acting under orders from above."
He Kegang was startled: "Who gave you the order?"
The quartermaster looked around and saw that everyone around him was looking at him. He said to He Kegang: "General, please step forward and speak."
He Kegang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "If you can't tell people anything, just say it!"
The quartermaster looked embarrassed: "This, this..."
"This, this, this, say."
The quartermaster looked at Hu Hao and they all looked at him as if they wanted to eat people. He simply ignored it and said directly: "Commander Zu ordered!"
When the people around him heard this, they were stunned. He Kegang did not expect that it was his superior who ordered it, but now that the enemy is facing a powerful enemy, the morale of the soldiers must be appeased.
So he said: "You must have misunderstood. According to the instructions of the supervisor, thirty taels were distributed one by one. I will communicate with the commander. I am definitely not what you meant."
The quartermaster also wanted to say that when he saw He Kegang, he stared at him with a threatening aura that frightened the quartermaster. He knew that if he didn't do what He Kegang said, he would not be able to pass this level now, so he had to settle for thirty-two pieces.
It's been posted.
When Hu Hao and his party saw this result, they quickly thanked He Kegang.
He Kegang helped them up with a smile and said: "Thanks to you for finding out the movements of the main force of Jianlu, and the Superintendent has already mentioned the silver reward in advance, so the reward is yours in the first place, no need to thank me.
"
Hu Hao and the others felt warm after saying this, so they took the silver reward and thanked them before leaving.
After handling the matter here, He Kegang went to find Zu Dashou. He vaguely felt that this was true, but he was facing a powerful enemy and wanted to go over and give the commander some advice.
Unexpectedly, when this matter was brought up, Zu Dashou, who had been smiling when he received He Kegang, immediately darkened his face: "The money you get to be my commander fell from the sky, thirty taels for each, and for fifteen people it is four hundred and fifty taels.
If you give it this time, will you give it to others next time? How many times can you give it?"
Just as He Kegang was about to speak, Zu Dashou interrupted him again: "Don't make your own decisions next time. If this happens again, your salary will be deducted."
"The enemy is at hand. The commander gave a reward in front of the whole army. Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of the commander by doing this?" He Kegang was finally able to speak and directly began to question Zu Dashou.
"I told you to leave it alone. If you dare to disrupt the distribution of military supplies without permission, don't blame me for being rude." Zu Dashou's face was as cold as ice.
"The governor is my benefactor. Without the governor, the general would not be where he is today. The commander-in-chief has damaged the credibility of the governor, which I cannot bear to see. I will report it to the governor."
"Stop, do you really want to report it to the Superintendent?"
He Kegang straightened his back, stood still, and persisted silently.
Zu Dashou saw that this stubborn subordinate would probably report it to the Superintendent, so he said softly: "I just accepted the Superintendent's order."
He Kegang was stunned, turned around slowly, and stared at Zu Dashou: "Why?!"
"Humph, the supervisor is just talking. You are really like those Qiu Ba people. You really believe it." After saying that, he was too lazy to pay attention to He Kegang and went out by himself, leaving He Kegang in the tent.
Zu Dashou went to see Yuan Chonghuan. After meeting him, he told the story. Yuan Chonghuan smiled at Zu Dashou and said, "Don't be the same as him. He is a straight person and doesn't know how to go around.
Accompany me to inspect the lower city defenses, Huang Taiji is coming fiercely this time, so we must not be careless."
During the inspection of the city defense, Yuan Chonghuan was quite satisfied with the newly added cannons, but he was very dissatisfied with the soldiers dressed as minzhuang. They had no military momentum at all, and they were also wearing crooked melons and inferior jujubes. He asked Zu Dashou to send someone.
Let them make corrections before going back to rest.
Soon, the Ye Bu Shuangs outside the city fled back to the city one after another. After a short time, Jianlu's scouting horses began to appear outside the city, but they did not approach, they just drove Ye Bu Shuang back to the city.
On November 13th of the second year of Chongzhen, the main force of Jianlu appeared in the north of Jizhou City. It was so vast and dense that one could not see the end. There was only one thought: they were all human beings.
Huang Taiji led Zhu Beile and the Mongolian leaders to observe beyond the artillery range of Jizhou. He was not worried that the Ming army would leave the city to attack.
Huang Taiji watched for a while and burst out laughing. The others didn't understand why it was funny and asked questions one after another.
Huang Taiji smiled and pointed his riding whip at them. Many soldiers on the Ming army's city wall were frightened and shivering. They were either new soldiers or military households who had never been on the battlefield. What should they fear from such an opponent?
Others also understood and laughed together.
But there are indeed a lot of artillery in Jizhou City. If they were attacked, they would probably suffer a lot of damage.
Therefore, Huang Taiji ordered the entire army to take a detour at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.
Yuan Chonghuan on the Jizhou City Tower saw Jianlu's posture and knew that he would not attack the city. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he was worried that Jianlu could capture Jizhou, but that he was afraid that if Jianlu attacked Jizhou, he would bring it himself.
Guan Ning's main force will suffer too much loss. The cavalry is not so easy to replenish.
He Kegang, who was on the side, was very excited when he saw Jianlu's movements, and suggested to Yuan Chonghuan: "The supervisor is really smart. These wooden cannons scared Jianlu away from attacking the city. Looking at Jianlu's posture now, he is afraid that he will go around Yanshan."
Passing by the foot of the mountain, the general thought that when the Jianlu were halfway through and could no longer take care of the head and tail, they would gather all the Guan Ning cavalry and attack them at their weakest point, and then drive the defeated troops to roll up to both sides. A good opportunity to defeat the Jianlu would be right in front of them.
, Supervisor."
"Childish!" Before Yuan Chonghuan could express his stance, Zu Dashou on the side spoke first.
"Why childish?" He Kegang was unconvinced.
"What if Jianqiu ignores the attacked part, cuts off the strong men's wrists, and sends the main force to attack the city?"
"Isn't there still Baoding Commander-in-Chief Cao Minglei's command?"
"Just like a bear, huh!"
Cao Minglei, who was standing in the other corner, pretended not to hear. Guan Ning's troops were all above and below him.
In fact, according to what He Kegang said, there was still a chance. Jizhou City was so easy to capture, but Zu Dashou felt sorry for the ace troops in his hands and was afraid of excessive losses and was unwilling to take risks.
He Kegang stopped arguing with Zu Dashou and directly shouted: Supervisor?
Yuan Chonghuan looked at Jianlu in the distance, and then said to He Kegang: "What Fu Yu said makes sense."
He Kegang became impatient and said: "Supervisor, if the main force of the Jianqiu passed through Jizhou safely, why should they explain it to the court and the emperor? What's more, after Jizhou, the cities and villages are densely packed, and I fear that more people will be poisoned by the Jianqiu."
Yuan Chonghuan's face suddenly sank: "I have my own considerations, so there is no need to say anything." Nonsense, if you really want to rush out and use up all the troops in your hand, it will be difficult to explain and protect yourself.
"Superintendent, if the entire Jianlu army passes through Jizhou and invades the capital, there will be a loss of life wherever they go, and the disaster in Liaodong will definitely happen again. Superintendent, please send troops?" He Kegang was a little unwilling.
Yuan Chonghuan was very unhappy, ignored him, turned around and left. Zu Dashou and Cao Minglei followed, leaving He Kegang standing blankly.
The Jianlu vanguard quickly crossed Jizhou City and set up camp five miles south of Jizhou. They sent their elite troops to monitor Jizhou City and cover the follow-up troops' detour.
That night, the entire Jianlu army crossed Jizhou City, and the Jianlu and Ming armies were in peace. However, the mood of Dajin Beile and the Mongolian leader was not comparable to that of the Ming army in the city. They were like ghosts seeing half-undressed clothes.
The beautiful girl, the person who loves food sees a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the person who loves money sees a house full of gold, silver and jewelry, and is ready for a big fight.
