Hanjiawan, a little-known place name, is located between Dongsheng Fort and Changning Fort. The Liaohe River becomes a little wider here, but also a little shallower.
Dongsheng Fort, set up in the Ming Dynasty, belongs to Haizhou Wei, located in Kaihe City, northwest of Haicheng City, Liaoning Province in later generations; Changning Fort, set up in Ming Dynasty, belongs to the direct administration of Liaoyang, and is located in Tangmazhai Town, southwest of Liaoyang County, Liaoning Province.
In other words, this place is either the northern edge of the high-pragmatic area, or it is not under high-pragmatic jurisdiction at all.
Because it is a "bay", the flow rate of the river is somewhat slower than in other places, making it the best place to use a raft to cross the river.
On the night of September 11th, Tumen and Chaohua held a drinking party in the camp. It was said to be to celebrate that a Hatun of Tumen Khan had given birth to a big fat boy. This news was brought back by the fleeing Han people.
.
Gao Jingshi laughed loudly after hearing the news in the water village. In front of the few fleeing Han people, he ordered the people around him: "Tumen, although Chaohua is having a drink and party, you may not take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. I am in the water."
The village camp must still be guarded and guarded to the death, and be sure not to let their treacherous plan succeed."
Then he waved his hand, letting the few Han refugees go down, and ordered his servants to prepare a hot meal and dishes for them as a token of gratitude.
After a few people went down, they quickly had their meals, and the people in the water village were very relieved of Han Chinese people, so they didn't arrange anyone to watch.
Several people observed carefully for a while, and then one of them put away his cautious look after seeing the official, and his expression changed slightly: "Something seems to be wrong. The person who just claimed to be 'the Dao' could be that An Nan Dingbei."
The six top picks are high and seek truth?"
Another person was also a little worried: "Besides him, who else in southern Liaoning would claim to be the Taoist? It must be him. The question is when did he come to Sanchahe?"
Another person said: "Don't worry about when he came. The Sancha River docks on the left and right are his property inside and outside. It's not surprising that he came to take a look. Our trouble now is how to send the news back."
The man who spoke at the beginning smiled and said: "It shouldn't be difficult to send them back. Haven't you seen that these Ming soldiers and servants are completely unprepared for us? Moreover, Gao Qiuzhen is too careful and even worries about sweating and stir-cracking."
It’s a joke that Huataiji forcibly crossed the river to attack him... Later, the Ming army will start to go out to investigate according to Gao Qiuzhen’s arrangement, and the camp will definitely be moved, so we will take the opportunity to sneak out at that time."
"That's true...but why does this person with such a great reputation look like an embroidered pillow, and he fell into the trap all of a sudden? The number one scholar's skills are not very good!"
"Damn it, Duke Zhuangyuan. The study of Duke Zhuangyuan is not about military affairs. What they read is all big principles and nonsense. When it comes to doing things, they are not as good as some masters. Don't you know?"
"It makes sense, it makes sense. But when we came here, it was brought here by Jinghua's ship. What should we do when we go back?"
"Wealth can be found in danger! It's only autumn now, and although the water in the Liao River is a bit cold, it won't freeze us to death. As long as we swim over, we can tell the news that Mr. Gao has arrived at the Sancha River Pier and what he just said.
If we pass the order to the Great Khan and Chaohua Taiji, will we get all the glory and wealth in this life?"
"That's true. If you get cold once, you'll be worth an egg, and if you're so poor that you have to wipe your pocket with cloth, which winter won't get cold? If you get cold once, you can be rich for a lifetime. How can this deal be a good deal?"
"I advise you not to think too much about a lifetime of wealth and wealth. Haven't you seen the kind of life the Mongolians live? It doesn't look good to me. We can pass these two pieces of news back this time, of course.
I have accomplished great achievements, but I think that I may not necessarily be able to become a person above others. What is great is that my daughter-in-law will not be bullied casually, and I can be rewarded with some cattle and sheep, and that will be enough."
"That's better than now! What's the matter, do you not like doing it or what?"
"Okay, okay, shut up, both of you, what are you talking about? You've already done this, and you still have a quarrel? An An Xin and do things solidly. There are always only good things, not bad things.
!”
The person who said this seemed to have some authority. After he glared like this, the two of them stopped talking back. The person breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Eat now. Eat more. It won't be so cold later."
."
About half an hour later, Gao Pingshi stood by the second-floor window of Hegang House with his hands behind his hands. A servant quickly walked to his door, knocked lightly and said, "Master, those people really ran away."
He walked two miles upstream and then jumped into the river and swam to the other side. Our people followed the master’s instructions and did not pursue him.”
Gao pragmatically said "hmm" calmly, and after a while he said: "Has the disguised gunboat gone out?"
"They have already gone out to the river to 'inspect' according to the master's instructions. They all know the mission and will not get too close to the other side. The Tatars will definitely not be able to tell."
Gao pragmatic asked again: "Where's Ma Canrong? Can we get to Hanjiawan in time?"
The servant hesitated for a moment before replying: "The master allowed him to use the Niuzhuang post horses. Now Ma Shenrong has a man and three horses. He should be able to catch up. But these are post horses after all. According to the regulations of the imperial court..."
Gao pragmatic waved his hand: "How can we keep so many rules during a war? Even if someone wants to impeach me, they can only be useful if I defeat them. As long as we win, let alone using some post horses, even if I
What if we transfer all the troops and horses from Yuanma Temple in Liaodong to Ma Chongzhai?"
Seeing that the master had made up his mind, the servant did not dare to say any more. He asked Gao Jingshi if he had any other instructions. When Gao Jingshi shook his head, he left first.
It turned out that although Ma Dong had been stationed at Dongchang Fort according to Ma Fang's wishes, when Gao Pragmatic judged that Tumen and Chaohua's expected crossing point was between Dongsheng Fort and Changning Fort further upstream, he considered
Transferring Ma Dong here - firstly, this will allow Ma Dong to share his military merits, and secondly, it will also test Ma Dong's actual combat level.
After all, they are subjects that need to be cultivated, and they cannot be kept in a greenhouse. Military generals are no better than civil servants, and they must win several serious battles to gain real prestige.
For example, like his father Ma Fang.
Therefore, Gao Jingshi not only gave him the authority to use the horses of Niuzhuang Mayi, but also transferred some of the spare horses from the Gao family's cavalry to help him make up for the shortfall, so that he could catch up with Hanjiawan.
One battle.
Ma Dong, Ma Cheng'en, and Zhang Wanbang, these three generals from Xuanda who were transferred to southern Liaoning by themselves, must make some contributions in this battle so that they can be promoted and reused in the future... After all, according to what Zhu Yijun expressed,
, I should be promoted very quickly in Liaodong, but it seems that I won’t stay for too long, maybe only about three years. If you want to promote several generals in such a tight time, if they don’t have outstanding achievements under their command,
