One hundred and ninety-two chapters of the self-character volume
Waiting until the Zarut rebels were rounded up and the Bayot tribe's losses were counted, the results brought back made the leaders of the five Nekalkha tribes and the leader of the Horqin tribe Hong Guoer's faces sinking.
The losses are secondary. The key lies in the invasion of more than 50,000 troops from the south. Before the war officially started, they were hit in the head by Da Zhou, who was beaten to the point of confusion. Moreover, according to the intelligence from Chahar and Jianzhou Jurchen, the main force of Jizhen Army was basically
It is not in Yongping Mansion, only a small force is stationed there, and the people responsible for defense in Yongping Mansion are said to be Minzhuang, known as the Yongping New Army.
How could Minzhuang perform at such a level? The five inner Khalkha tribes and the Horqin people didn't believe it at all, and they also had great doubts about the intelligence of Chahar and Jianzhou Jurchen.
The Ye He tribe’s armored cavalry raid also proved that their intelligence was indeed unreliable.
Such a powerful force has sneaked into Yongping Mansion, and the Chahars and Jianzhou Jurchens actually know nothing about it. How dare they claim to know everything about the external affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was a bit dull and depressing, Zhuoli Ketu Hongbatulu took the initiative to raise the topic. He is the nominal coach of the East Route Army this time. Although Hongji Labu of Zai Sai
He is the most powerful, but as the elder, he is still the well-deserved coach.
Everyone was silent.
Retreat is impossible.
Such a loss can only be regarded as a minor setback. Although morale was damaged, it was mainly the Zarut tribe. The most powerful Hongjila tribe and Uziyet tribe did not suffer any losses. The Bahrain tribe was also intact, and the Bayot tribe suffered some losses.
Most of the damage was intact, and the Horqin part was not affected.
If an expedition of this scale ends with such an anticlimactic outcome without any results, let alone the Chahar people and the Jianzhou Jurchens, even everyone here will not be able to explain it to the tribe.
Countless amounts of food and money were spent, and so many manpower and animals were used. If the people did not get some of the goods back, the whole tribe might be disheartened, and there would be no hope of organizing people and horses to go on an expedition in the future.
"Actually, the Great Zhou army is just a common conspiracy. The Zalut tribe is like this because they have no precautions. They only need to re-camp and take precautions. The Great Zhou army will not succeed so easily, and the Bahrain tribe will be repelled.
Is it a sneak attack by the Zhou army?"
The first person to speak was actually Hong Guoer from the Horqin tribe, which made Zhuoli Ketu Hongbatulu and Zasai feel a little strange in their hearts.
"Most of our main force was not affected. Dazhou used this method to launch a sneak attack, but it showed their inner weakness. There was no movement in Qian'an City. As long as Ye He's cavalry was on guard, he would not be able to come and go again!
"
Hongol’s words sounded a little awkward, but they were still encouraging, and the atmosphere in the tent became a little more lively.
"Hong Guoer's words are correct. The Zhou Dynasty's power in Yongping Prefecture is very weak. Lindan Batur's army has broken through the upper reaches of the Bin River and defeated the Ji Zhen Army that was stationed in the Zhenlu Camp area, and is advancing towards Pinggu."
Zhuoli Kethunbatulu announced the news he had received. Chahar's main center army marched slightly faster than the east-west route, and it was the best among all the troops in terms of combat effectiveness and organizational ability. It quickly broke through the border wall.
Then they started a fierce battle with Jizhen Army.
“Although we don’t know what the Transkarkha people are doing in the west, we can imagine that they will not return empty-handed. If we give up here, we will really become the biggest laughing stock on the grassland...”
Zholiktuhunbatulu’s words made everyone look embarrassed, and no one could accept such a result.
"My uncle is right. Although we have suffered a small setback, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Qian'an County is right in front of us. There are tens of thousands of wealthy Han people, wealth, gold and treasures, and women's silk tea, all waiting for us to harvest. They
The defenders are only a few thousand strong. Judging from our early offensive to fill up the moat, they have very few crossbows and no decent defensive facilities. As long as we work harder and attack the wall in one go, victory will be
It belongs to us, I propose that whoever enters the city first can take half of the city's wealth and population!"
Zaisai’s words suddenly made the atmosphere in the tent become very lively.
I came here with the purpose of taking a lot of money from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Twenty years ago, the Chahar people invaded the south and robbed at least more than 30,000 people and countless goods for the Chahar people.
, and the strength of the Chahar people suddenly increased a lot.
Chahar people's saddle and leather armor making technology has improved a lot all of a sudden, and there are even seven or eight more blacksmith shops. This obvious change is the envy of these grassland tribes the most.
Seeing that Zaisai had successfully boosted morale, Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu also struck while the iron was hot: "I agree, the moat has been filled in many places, we will stop today, continue to increase our efforts, and start attacking the city tomorrow.
Our Uziyet tribe has no hesitation and is willing to take the lead in the battle!"
Zoliketu Hongbatulu's attitude made the five tribes and Horqin people look at him with suspicion, and at the same time they were also somewhat moved.
After all, there are only a few thousand Yongping New Army guards in the city. This is an indisputable fact. Although the firecrackers are sharper, as long as they take necessary protection and rush to the city wall to attack, the firecrackers will only become
Burning fire sticks.
Moreover, there are many disadvantages of fire blunderbuss. The Mongols are not without fire blunderbuss. The Chahar people even generously provided various kinds of fire blunderbuss that Zhou Dynasty provided to them last year for various ministries to choose. However, after everyone tried it, they still felt that
Bows and arrows are cost-effective and suitable, and are far superior to those three-eyed blazing guns in every aspect.
"Well, we Horqin people have no descendants. If the Uziyet tribe chooses the north gate to attack, we Horqin people will choose the east gate to fight!" Hong Guoer couldn't help but feel excited.
He is well aware of the strength of the Uziyet tribe, and since Zoliktuhunbatulu has expressed his position in front of so many people, he will not lose his face and will definitely go all out.
Out of the 10,000 elite members of the Uziyet tribe, there are only 3,000 cavalry, and the remaining 7,000 are infantry. They are no strangers to sieges. As long as they launch a fierce attack, they will naturally bring opportunities to their own east city.
"In this case, our Hongjila tribe will follow the Uziyet tribe and attack the north city. Seter, how about your Bahrain tribe follow Hongol and attack the east city?" Zasai was not polite, "The Bayot tribe is here.
We will harass the South City and West City so that they cannot fully respond to our attacks in the North City and East City. Darkhan, is this okay?"
Zaisa's attitude made both Seter and Darkhan a little dissatisfied, but the other side was the strongest, and since they were willing to attack the city with all their strength, they naturally didn't have much objection.
************
Nurhachi moved his body and flew onto his horse. The guards beside him quickly held the reins for him.
"I'm not old yet." Nurhaci raised his head and looked to the west, his tone full of confidence, "Shulhaci has taken people to flee to Fushun? How many days have you been gone?"
"Back to the Great Khan, all the more than 2,000 people under Shuerhaqi's command entered Fushun, and Li Yongfang settled them all outside the city..."
"Daishan, please inform the generals and come to my account immediately. It's time to settle accounts with Shuerhaqi and Dazhou." Nurhaci took a deep breath and turned his attention to himself, who is currently the most outstanding.
Although Chu Ying, Jia's son, is the eldest son, he is too arrogant and has attracted dissatisfaction from some people and needs to be beaten.
“Father Khan, now?” Daishan returned quietly from Chahar. The Chahar people had already mobilized with all their strength, and it was impossible to reverse it now.
“Now, let’s go.”
Nurhachi raised his head proudly and tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart.
Li Yongfang's initiative to get closer made him ecstatic. It is self-evident how important Fushun's geographical location in Liaodong Town is. It directly supports the waist and abdomen of Jianzhou, and Li Yongfang was also a veteran of the Great Zhou Dynasty. During the Li Chengliang era,
Even though he was scheming, this guy seemed to get along well with Feng Tang, and he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to show kindness.
It is not yet certain what kind of price the other party will ask for, but it doesn't matter. As long as the other party is willing to surrender, Nurhachi is willing to agree to it no matter what the conditions are. He is the guard general of Fushun.
But Nurhachi judged that the other party would not make any false surrender.
With Li Yongfang’s identity, there was absolutely no need for him to fake a surrender, and he was not a direct descendant of Feng Tang. Feng Tang did not have the courage to ask Li Yongfang to fake a surrender.
He did not expect that Li Yongfang would be so optimistic about his side. Perhaps Feng Tang wanted to further purge the people Li Chengliang left behind, but according to his understanding, Li Yongfang was not a direct descendant of Li Chengliang. Even Du Song and Zhao Shu
Since all the teachers were recruited by Feng Tang, Li Yongfang had no reason to bet on his side.
Nurhaci’s recruitment of Li Yongfang was originally an inertial move. He would spare no effort to offer extremely high conditions for every side general in Dazhou.
This is a kind of temptation. As long as the other party shows signs of hesitation, it is a good sign, which means that the other party is not strong-willed and may continue to win over you.
For Jurchens in Jianzhou, whether it is fur, gold sand or ginseng, they can be found everywhere in the wild fields. What Jianzhou lacks is the population and the Han men who can farm and make things.
As long as one member of the army is bribed, it means that at least hundreds or thousands of people may join Jianzhou, and their value is simply not comparable to that of some fur ginseng antler.
As for land, mountains and forests, there are everywhere outside the customs. At this stage, these are all benefits and free things for Jianzhou. As long as those Han people are willing to cultivate them, Nurhachi is willing to not pay taxes for three to five years.
As long as they are here, it will be difficult to leave. When the time comes, will they be flat or round, or will they be left to their own devices?
Thinking of this, Nurhachi became more determined to attack Li Yongfang. In any case, this is the best start. As long as Li Yongfang is captured, the significance is extremely huge, even worthy of an army of 10,000!
