"The opponent is Xianglan Banner, and the enemy chief Amin is known for his ruthlessness and cunning. If the scout fails, he will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate."
Zhou Yuji doesn't talk much in normal times, but on the contrary during the war, he shouts louder than anyone else when he needs to, and now he is unambiguous when discussing military situations.
The 10 scouts with blue flags were attacked by them on sleds, and they killed them all with muskets, bows and arrows, grenades, and swords.
When retreating, they quickly shook off hundreds of enemy pursuers. Only two people were slightly injured by arrows. They were able to continue fighting after being lightly disinfected and bandaged.
In the first actual battle, the sled showed its advantages of being fast and saving energy. Although it was possible to retreat calmly after achieving the victory, Zhou Yuji judged that Amin would take revenge and planned to use the trick to make Xianglan Banner suffer another loss.
"We have maps given by the people, and it is easy to avoid the enemy, so we can neither advance nor retreat, making the enemy gradually impatient."
Zhou Yuji decided not to advance or retreat, but to wait for changes and opportunities.
News also came back from Liaoyang and Shenyang.
Xiong Tingbi and Wei Zhongxian thought that they could deal with Xianglan Banner a little to prevent the enemy from easily plundering food.
What's more important is that Emperor Tianqi's reply arrived in Liaodong, intending to fight Jiannu in a small-scale winter battle.
We recruited all the horses of Xiang Amin and led 2,000 cavalrymen, one man and two horses, to chase Xiong Tingbi and those dozens of people to death in Tieling.
Zhou Yuji and Huang Taiji planned very carefully. Fan Wenchen must have focused on finding the spies, but he went astray.
For those who do not have certain skills but are relatively strong, move 40,000 people to the Jinzhou area.
But Liaoyang and Shenyang were able to be absorbed into the back line just like Yuan Yingtai in history. There were spies outside and set fire outside the city to cooperate with Nurhachi. The other refugees were on the back line. Once the war situation was about to win, we would also Sui Feng falls in support of Xiaohan Nurhachi.
As for Fan Wenchen's method of shutting out everyone, although it is safe, it is a pity to be effective with such a small population and labor force.
Xiong Tingbi and others continue to operate mysteriously in the southern part of Tieling.
Has Fan Wenchen ever been fooled again?
Just at this time, the spies came with news that the Mongolian Han wanted to absorb Mongolian refugees, and many of them wanted to go to Tianjin and Jinzhou. The Mongolian Han were busy selecting people and escorting them, and they had the energy to go north to Tieling.
The organization designed by Zhou Yuji prevents one person from being discovered and arrested. If you find out the news, you can go back earlier and encourage the wrapped slaves to try their best to find out the information.
......
Fan Wenchen, Zhang Quan and Wei Zhongxian discussed the latest situation.
In the north of Jinzhou, there is a small breeding of cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses, and they also go out to graze in the summer. In winter, when sea transportation is available, cattle, donkeys, etc. can be transported along the Liaoxi Corridor.
As for the traitors who had already surrendered to Jiannu, they were serving the masters of Jiannu wholeheartedly, hoping that they would receive a lower salary if they had made meritorious deeds. Huang Taiji and Zhou Yuji promised that they would not raise their flag even if they behaved badly.
Kill a few groups of sporadic scouts today, and tomorrow they will retreat and ambush the cavalry brigade that was behind for reconnaissance, and then run away. In the blink of an eye, traces of the attackers were found, and the Ming army was furious.
Fan Wenchen placed almost all the Liaodong Army on the side of the refugees, making the spies think that the main forces of Mongolia and Han were paying attention to the refugees. In fact, all the troops preparing to ambush that time were guest troops, especially those who had fought with the Jiannu before.
.
Zhu Youxiao took a few of the refugees to Tianjin and Jinzhou that time. Especially those who went to Tianjin were considered to be at the feet of the emperor. The generous treatment immediately aroused warm cheers and responses among the Mongolian refugees.
Shu Qi, Jierharang Xiaoxi, decided to attack and kill Xiong Tingbi's gang of scouts, and then retreated to the mountain to grab food.
I simply checked and asked the spies to send the news back, so that the Ming army could be fooled.
Huang Taiji disobeyed the advice of Zhou Yuji, who had just surrendered and claimed to be the predecessor of Fan Zhongyan, and sent a total of 700 young men and 17 blue banner subordinates, divided into groups of more than a dozen or more than 70 people, and each group was a member of each other.
Get to know.
Baoyi's family members were detained. We only disobeyed the order and mixed in with the refugees who were mainly Mongolian. There were not a large number of Han people living in the Mongolian tribes who were actually refugees, so it was difficult for the Han people Baoyi to retreat.
Those with better physical strength and good at raising livestock moved 40,000 people to a large wetland tidal flat in the east of Tianjin. Later, grazing was combined with animal husbandry. In addition to raising cattle and sheep to produce meat for milk, they could also engage in small-scale mules and horses, making frontline transportation useless.
There are no donkeys or horses for mules.
Of course, less than 20,000 yuan is needed to attract Xiao Ming. He must stay at the back line or leave, so let us collect firewood, dig ditches, and then give porridge.
Moreover, even Xiao Ming can’t raise cattle and sheep in Mongolia.
There are no mountains or hills in Tieling. Every time Xiong Tingbi, we only let the nearby Jiannu cavalry see half of his body. When the small team of Jiannu cavalry chased Shu Qigui halfway to the destination, we retreated. We had not yet learned how to take advantage of the low terrain.
The difference makes skiing slower.
Every time he was attacked, there were not many people on the other side who were able to see clearly, and even the marks of horse hoofs were found. As for the marks of skis, which were very shallow in the first place, it became easier to find them when the wind blew. Jierharang couldn't help but want to
Retreat.
Jinzhou is the beginning of the Western Liaoning Corridor, connecting eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning as well as grasslands such as Chahar and Kormi. It is an important trade node and cultural exchange area.
Each Blue Flag superior also knows each other, and each person is responsible for a group of people.
"The Mongols did not ambush!"
Bao Yi found out the news and reported it to the leader, who then reported to his superior Shu Qi. Lan Qi's superior then asked Bao Yi's leader and the person who got the information to run back and report.
Only one large group gets the news at a time, and maybe a few people send the same message back to deliver the message. This can also determine the reliability of the message and avoid misjudgment.
We were exploring towards the main city of Tieling and heading back to Shenyang.
Staying behind Shu Qi's dragnet is an adventure and a step forward.
Jiannu pursued for dozens of miles and reached the mountainous area in the north of Shenyang. He changed his horse once and was about to catch up, when the horn sounded.
Decided to give Amin another try and promote the recruitment and selection of Mongolian refugees with the failure.
In addition, Mongolian refugees were also admitted in three batches.
Try to make the Ming army more familiar with the enemy's tactics before the enemy launches a large-scale attack in the spring of next year.
General Shu Qi, including the commander-in-chief He Shixian, You Shigong, Li Bingcheng, etc., are all controlling the refugees.
After being reminded by Tianqi, we knew that there were enemy spies among the refugees, so we and Xiong Tingbi planned to lure the snake out of its hole.
That’s saying little with one stone.
The 40,000 Mongolians settled here belong to Xiao Ming's people, and have served as a reflection for the various Mongolian tribes in the grassland. This means that Xiao Ming is very wrong to us. People without talent will definitely find their way out, and Xiao Ming will consider recruiting them.
There are indeed no spies among the refugees who came from slavery.
Xiao Ming is a living Bodhisattva. He has been giving out porridge for free for a month. If he still wants to drink, he has to work.
The time and place outside the retreated refugee group are also the same. Each group is also designated with two leaders, and all actions are directed by the leader. The seventeen blue flag superiors are also distributed and command the eighty wrapped leaders.< /p>
