Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 176 You hit yours, I hit mine, never be led by the nose by the enemy

Huang Taiji's central army tent, Prince Baylor of the Dajin Kingdom, and Taiji lords from the Mongolian tribe all arrived.

Everyone gathered, but no one spoke, the atmosphere was very depressing, only the sound of Da Zhao being blown by the wind beeping loudly could be heard at the door of the big tent.

The Dajin army, which has always been invincible, has recently been defeated one after another, and even a small Ming army with a thousand-man team can't win.

The deadliest thing is that the army of the Kingdom of Jin is short of food, and the plague broke out again...

This is really a leak in the house and it rains all night!

Seeing internal and external troubles, there is still filth among the Jurchen banners, and those Mongolian Taijis can't sit still.

"Great Khan, we originally took refuge in you to conquer Lin Dan Khan together. Now, Lin Dan Khan has fled to the west, and it is difficult to wipe out for a while.

Pimple disease broke out again in the camp.This pimple disease, the more people gather, the easier it is to infect. Therefore, our Naiman tribe wants to return to the tribe. If there is another war, as long as the sweat is called, we will definitely come to help! "

Naimantaiji first stood up and asked for instructions.

If it were the same as before, he would never dare to say these words.

Huang Taiji's power is too strong.

But it's different now.

The Dajin army was defeated one after another. Huang Taiji led an army of 20, but he couldn't even defeat the 1000-odd Ming army. His prestige had already fallen to the bottom.

In private, some people have been ridiculing Huang Taiji, saying that he doesn't know soldiers.

This kind of thing was unimaginable before.

Moreover, the Eight Banners army suffered heavy losses. The originally mighty Zhenglan Banner had been completely crippled, and those who raised the new flag were unstable.

Other flags also suffered heavy losses.

Naimantaiji was not so afraid.

Huang Taiji's face darkened.

"Bold!"

Jierhalang scolded and glared at Naimantaiji angrily.

"Naiman, don't forget that you were hunted down by Lin Danhan before, if it wasn't for our Dajin Kingdom, if it wasn't for the Great Khan, your Naiman tribe would have been annexed by Lin Danhan long ago, how could you still be alive?
Now, our Dajin Kingdom has just encountered a little setback, how dare you take the lead in betraying the Great Khan?Do you think the knives in our hands are not as fast as before? "

Jierhalang would draw his sword if he disagreed.

"My lord is so majestic! Is this the tradition of your Jurchens to draw the sword in front of the emperor?

Da Khan did help us resist Lin Dan Khan, but we also helped Da Khan drive Lin Da Khan away. This great grassland and the tribe of cattle and horses belonged to Da Khan, and Da Khan did not suffer.

Now we are only worried about the plague and want to return to the tribe. Don't we even have this freedom?Could it be that you want to eat us all, and simply incorporate them into the Eight Banners and make them Aha! "

With a sneer, Aohan Taiji and Alak Zhuoteji stood up together.

Bang!
"Bold dog slave! So what if I accept you as Aha? How dare you refuse to accept it?"

Yue Tuo slapped the table angrily.

Pulling out the sword in front of the imperial court was something that Mang Gurtai of Zhenglan Banner had done before.

For the Jurchens, this is their scandal, and no one dares to mention it in front of Huang Taiji.

Now, Aohantaiji and Alakzhuotetaiji mentioned it openly, obviously not afraid of turning their faces.

Huang Taiji watched this scene coldly.

The Jurchen banner owners all had angry expressions on their faces.

However, Dorgon's eyes were obviously flickering.

Daishan also kept silent.

If he ordered to do it, it's hard to say whether the two white flags and the two red flags will obey the order.

On the other hand, among the Mongolian Taijis, it was Naimantaiji who stood up to speak, but the other Taijis stood behind them, obviously supporting them.

For the Jurchens, the Mongols have always been regarded as enemies.

Now Jurchen is stronger than Mongolia, but it can't be completely crushed.

Huang Taiji's conquest of Lin Dan Khan was also determined by the disunity among the Mongolian tribes. Most of the tribes in the east had been conquered by the Jurchens and took refuge in the Jurchens.

The ministries of Monan and Moxi are also not in one mind.

If the Mongols are united, Huang Taiji will also feel a headache.

"enough!"

Huang Taiji scolded.

He couldn't help but speak, now is not the time for internal strife.

"Taiji, don't get me wrong. We Jurchens and Mongolia have always been like brothers. I have never treated the Mongols any differently from the Jurchens.

I can also understand the feelings of several people.But now we can't leave.How many of you have ever thought about what would happen if we were hit so hard and retreated?
That Ming army had achieved such a great victory, once they were allowed to return to Daming, the Ming court would definitely spread their experience and equipment.

Coupled with their big victory, it will definitely boost the morale of the Ming court.Think about how many people there are in Daming?How many people do we have?
These years, our Jurchen rebelled against Daming, occupied many lands and cities of Daming, and killed many of them;

You Mongolia, and Daming are even more enemies in the world.Once Daming gains power, do you think they will let us go? "

Huang Taiji asked a series of rhetorical questions.

In the big tent, everyone was silent.

"So what? Now we can't do anything to that Ming army. If we get together again, the plague will only spread. By then, our clan's elite will be dead, and there will be no way to survive."

Naimantaiji said loudly.

In fact, he had already thought about the way out.

Their tribe is not strong and has never had much ambition.

Reappearing the glory of Genghis Khan... that is only Lin Danhan's wishful thinking.

Whether it is Naimantaiji, Aohantaiji, or Alakjottaiji, their idea is that they only need to survive in the cracks.

In the past, they surrendered to Lin Danhan, but recently they switched to the stronger Jurchens.

If Da Ming becomes strong and can accommodate them, it is not impossible for them to seek refuge in Da Ming.

At worst, they can move to Mobei.

The Mongols are nomadic people. When they are not strong enough to occupy the places with the most abundant water and grass, they will go to wild places, as long as they can survive.

Anyway, he didn't want to continue fighting here.

That Ming army was terrible.

Naimantaiji was scared out of his wits.

Huang Taiji stood up and paced in the big tent.

"We can enter Xuanfu Town!"

Huang Taiji suddenly spoke.

"March into Xuanfu Town?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Not bad!"

Huang Taiji nodded.

"The combat power of the strong army is indeed strong. But they are strong in defense.

Their number is still too small, only more than 1000.

If we let them attack us, our cavalry will take the opportunity to surprise us and swallow them up.

Now we are not far from Xuanfu Town.As long as our army suddenly switches to battle, we will attack Xuanfu Town at all costs.

Relying on those frontier troops in Xuanfu Town, they will definitely not be able to stop us.

The governor of Xuanfu Town, Shen Chen, will definitely give the garrison surnamed Zhao an order to let him return to Fangxuanfu Town.

At that time, the garrison surnamed Zhao will definitely not dare to disobey the order of the governor of Xuanfu Town. His best choice is probably to attack us from behind.

Our chance has come. "

What Huang Taiji said made everyone's eyes brighten.

"Wonderful! Khan is such a good idea!"

Jierhalang swung his fist violently and let out an admiration.

Even Dorgon couldn't help nodding.

"Father Khan is wise!"

"Khan is wise!"

All the generals praised him one after another.

Huang Taiji's move is indeed very clever.

"The plague is indeed terrible. If it is only us who cause the plague, we will be finished. Instead of doing this, it would be better to smash all the plates.

We broke through the Great Wall defense line with all our strength, swept through Xuanfu Town, marched into the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and went straight to the Ming court.

No matter how provocative the Qiangdi army is, let's ignore him and force them to take the initiative to attack us.

I want to see if this Zhao man really dares to disobey the order of the governor of Xuanfu Town!Do you really dare to disobey the orders of their Ming court emperor! "

The more Huang Taiji said, the more confident he became, and he felt that Zhao Cheng was already settled.

"Khan is wise!"

Whether it is the nobles of the Eight Banners or the Mongolian Taiji, they all bowed to salute Huang Taiji.

For a moment, Huang Taiji seemed to have returned to his former high-spirited state.

"I order that the Eight Banners of Jianzhou, the Mongolian Banner, the Han Army Banner, and all Mongolian ministries, march into Xuanfu Town, break through the city defenses of Xuanfu Town, and point directly at the capital!"

With Huang Taiji's order, the army marched towards Xuanfu Town.

……

Zhao Cheng quickly sensed the intentions of Jin Guo's army.

"Are they going to attack Xuanfu Town?"

They completely ignored the strong army attacking and harassing the Jin army. They would rather bear the loss, or send a small part of the army to the rear, but the main force headed towards Xuanfu Town at full speed.

"Huang Taiji is so ruthless! Knowing that the plague has begun to spread in the army, he still wants to march into Xuanfu Town!"

Zhao Cheng's eyes were cold.

The land outside the Great Wall is sparsely populated.

Knowing that the pimple disease has started to spread, the army should be dispersed. In this way, the source of infection can be easily blocked, and the pimple disease can be eliminated after losing some population.

Daming is different!
Daming is a farming civilization, which has developed for 5000 years and is densely populated.

Once the plague spreads, the consequences will be absolutely dire.

"Huang Taiji, this is a war crime!"

Zhao Cheng's tone was cold.

"My lord, what should we do now? Do you want to hurry back to Xuanfu Town and help defend Xuanfu Town?" Niu Dali asked.

Zhao Cheng hesitated.

This thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head and ruled it out.

Xuanfu Town's line of defense is too long.

This is not a small city.

Although the strong army has strong combat effectiveness, its numbers are too small.

If it is scattered on thousands of miles of defense lines, it will not work at all.

Zhao Cheng has some understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming Frontier Army.

He can exchange some weapons and equipment for the frontier army.

But let Shen Chen command these frontier troops...

No matter how many weapons are given.

The problem of the Ming Dynasty frontier army is not in the weapons and equipment at all, but in the corruption from top to bottom, and the generals have no fighting spirit.

Give the weapons to the frontier soldiers, and it may not take long before they will fall into the hands of the Tartars.

It is even very possible that the Tartars will weave a new Han army flag.

Ultimately, those weapons will be used against the Strongland Army.

Zhao Cheng would not do such a thing that was taken for granted.

"Ignore them! If they dare to attack Xuanfu Town, let's attack their lair! Let's attack their Shengjing.

Don't they like to harm the people of Ming Dynasty?Wherever we go, give them a three-light policy.

I don't believe it anymore, even if Huang Taiji can be ruthless enough to exchange with us, can the nobles of the Eight Banners agree? "

A stern look flashed in Zhao Cheng's eyes.

"Go to Shengjing? The capital of the Kingdom of Jin?" Niu Dali and others were shocked by Zhao Cheng's idea.

It's crazy!
Go to the capital of the Kingdom of Jin!
Since the Battle of Salhu, Daming has switched from offense to defense. Who still has the idea of ​​attacking the capital of the Kingdom of Jin in the past?

Moreover, Shengjing feels so far away to them!

"Yes!"

Zhao Cheng nodded, and took a sip of tea from the big tea mug in his hand.

"This is called you hit yours, I hit mine, you can't be led by the nose by the enemy, we have to lead the nose by the enemy."

"You hit yours, I hit mine, you can't be led by the nose by the enemy, we have to lead the nose by the enemy."

Niu Dali and the other generals all had bright eyes and expressions of adoration on their faces, repeating Zhao Cheng's words.

"Your Excellency is truly a military genius! A casual sentence can be written into the Art of War!"

The team leader Wang Cai sighed with emotion.

Zhao Cheng smiled lightly.

Just a word?

His seemingly random words are actually the crystallization of the wisdom of generations to come.

These are words from the mouth of a great man!

"We have no logistical concerns. This prairie is not an obstacle for us at all. The sky is big and the earth is big, and we can go anywhere. But first, we have to spread the word and let the Tartars know that our goal is Shengjing! It's the Yehe tribe! Let's kill a few tribes and let them see the effect!"

Zhao Cheng has only 700 people under his command.

There are disadvantages as well as advantages.

The advantage is that the boat is small and can turn around quickly. When a decision is made, it is done as soon as it is said.

700 people, one person with three horses, and [-] horses, immediately abandoned Huang Taiji's army and began to march toward the depths of the desert.

"Take down Shengjing!"

"Sweep Yehe's tribe!"

"Liberate the Ula tribe!"

"..."

The soldiers of the strong land army marched all the way, shouting slogans in unison all the way, and their voices shook the sky.

Zhao Cheng even deliberately wrote the banner with a thick brush:
Go to Shengjing and liberate the whole of Liaodong.

Sweep the Yehe tribe and wipe out the Wula tribe!
Banners were thrown on the ground intentionally or unintentionally.

When the Qiangdi army suddenly withdrew, when Huang Taiji heard the news, he was naturally curious and sent a large number of sentries to follow the Qiangdi army.

Soon, news came back one after another, and banners were brought back one after another. Huang Taiji's scalp tingled when he heard it, and the words on the banners made him tremble with fear.

"Go to Shengjing and liberate the whole Liaodong?"

Huang Taiji's hands trembled slightly.

Shengjing, that is the capital of the Kingdom of Jin!

"This Zhao guy is really brave!"

Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could catch Zhao Cheng and chop him with a knife.

"Sweat!"

Outside the big tent, there was a commotion, and several major banner owners Baylor and Mongolian Taiji all came over.

"Khan, retreat! That Zhao guy is going to dig out our lair! We have to go back and defend Shengjing!"

"Yes, Dahan! Shengjing can't be lost! Our wives and children are all in Shengjing!"

"Great Khan, please allow us to return to the tribe and protect our tribe and children!"

"..."
