Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

At the same time in Shengjing, Liaodong.

Li has "fleeed" back to Shengjing with more than a dozen attendants including Park Dongxi and Kim Jaeyu.

Upon receiving the news, General Ye Keshu of Shengjing immediately sent troops to take Li to his residence, and more than a dozen attendants including Pu Dongxi and Jin Zaiyu were also detained.

"My Lord Linping, how did you escape?"

"As far as I know, the Ming army of Gaizhou Guard is heavily guarded, and there is almost no weakness."

Ye Keshu looked at Li and the others with scrutiny, and his tone was full of suspicion.

Regarding Ye Keshu's reaction, Xu Yingwei had expected it long ago, and had already prepared a countermeasure.

Li directly told the truth: "Reporting to the general, it was the Ming army who deliberately let the minister back as an internal response, and it was not the minister who waited for him to find a way to escape."

"Huh? The Ming army deliberately let you back as internal response?" Ye Keshu was really caught off guard.

"That's it." Li said sincerely, "So the general should lock us up quickly."

Ye Keshu originally planned to lock Li up, at least for ten days and a half a month, but now that Li took the initiative to admit that it was the Ming army who released him, it seemed inappropriate to keep him locked up again.

Anyway, Lee is the prince of Joseon.

If Li is really to be locked up, it will definitely affect the morale and morale of the [-] Korean troops.

In case the [-] North Korean army mutinied due to this, the gain would outweigh the loss. If the Ming army took advantage of the mutiny of the Korean army to attack Shengjing, it would be even more troublesome, so it must be handled carefully.

At that moment, Ye Keshu waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty Linping is joking, North Korea is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and you are the prince of North Korea, how could this general lock you up for no reason, but since the Ming army is willing to release Linping When you come back, Jun, you must have a follow-up plan, but you don’t know what the Ming army’s follow-up plan is?"

Li didn't hide anything: "The plan of the Ming army is to let the ministers secretly instigate a mutiny against the Korean army, seize one or several city gates, and let the Ming army enter the city."

"This..." Ye Keshu's face became a little embarrassed.

Several Jiannu generals on both sides of the separation also looked at each other in blank dismay.

To explain the army's plan, it may not be clever at all.

Even an idiot can easily guess the Ming army's plan.

But being able to guess is one thing, how to deal with it is another.

After a long while, Ye Keshu asked dryly, "How did Lord Linping reply to the Ming army?"

Li said with some guilt: "Reporting to the general, in order to get out as soon as possible, the young minister had to pretend to agree to the conditions proposed by the Ming army, but the young minister could not prove himself, so I asked the general to detain the young minister and the accompanying attendants. It’s not too late to release him until it’s verified that the minister’s words are true.”

"It's not necessary." Ye Keshu could only wave his hands and refuse.

The more Li asked to lock him up, the more Ye Keshu couldn't lock him up.

Because paper cannot cover fire, every word Li Zai general Xingyuan said will reach the ears of North Koreans, and North Koreans have always been inferior and sensitive. Ye Keshu detained Li and the dozen or so attendants who accompanied him without any conclusive evidence. , it will definitely offend the sensitive self-esteem of the North Koreans, and it will leave hidden dangers.

To make matters worse, North Korea has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. From the king of North Korea to the people at the bottom, the favor and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty are deeply rooted. For example, the [-] Korean troops temporarily stationed in Shengjing In addition, there are not a few people who are close to the Ming Dynasty. Adding the fact that Li was detained, it is really possible to lead to a mutiny.

Therefore, Ye Keshu could only let Li and his attendants leave.

Even if they monitor, they can only monitor Li secretly from behind.

After Li and the others left, Ye Keshu called his eldest son Daola to him.

"Dao La, you send a few people to watch Li secretly, especially the dozen or so servants who follow him. Once you find someone sneaking out of the city or sending news outside the city at night, arrest them immediately."

"Hey!" Daola agreed, turned around and left quickly.

……

Early in the morning, Xu Yingwei and Zhu Cijiong led more than a hundred riders to the north.

More than 100 scout cavalry were divided into a dozen scout squads, scattered in all directions, and searched along the great plain.

When Xu Yingwei first arrived in Gaizhouwei, there were only mules and horses in the army, but no war horses. However, after more than a year in Liaodong, no large-scale war broke out, and the outpost battle between scouts and Yebushou never stopped.

At the beginning, the Ming army was at an absolute disadvantage in the outpost.

The reason why they couldn't fight was because of lack of actual combat experience, and second, because they didn't have war horses.

But with the passage of time, the actual combat experience of the Ming army gradually improved, and some war horses were also snatched from the Jiannu Ranch, and the situation became a little better.

But it is only slightly better, and it is still at a clear disadvantage overall.

Because in small-scale skirmishes, the flintlock guns of the Ming army have no advantage over Jiannu's large bows. The most fatal flaw is the poor continuity of firepower.

Although a well-trained scout cavalry can also complete loading on horseback, the speed is extremely slow. Normally, the loading operation can be completed in a dozen seconds, but it takes a minute or more to complete the loading operation on galloping horseback.

However, Jiannu's big bow can shoot more than a dozen heavy arrows in half a minute.

Therefore, in the skirmish battle, the scouts of the Ming army only had one chance, and the error tolerance rate was extremely low.

However, the accuracy of the flintlock gun is not good enough, so it is difficult to seize this only chance.

Therefore, in the small-scale outpost battles, the Ming army's scout cavalry has been at a disadvantage and suffered a lot.

While riding his horse forward, Zhu Cijiong asked Xu Yingwei, "Remonstrance Xu, if your formation is so scattered, aren't you afraid of being suddenly attacked by Jiannu?"

"Why not be afraid." Xu Yingwei said helplessly, "but it is more dangerous not to pull away."

Xu Wuniu next to him went on to say, "King Ding, we didn't pull away when we were on patrol before, but we were ambushed by a brigade of Jiannu cavalry, and we were almost wiped out."

Xu Yingwei said: "Although this side is all plains, the grass grows too high. Thousands, eight hundred or even tens of thousands of cavalry are hidden in the grass, and they cannot be found unless they approach."

Speaking of this meal, Xu Yingwei said again: "In order to avoid being encircled by the large Jiannu cavalry, our scout cavalry can only widen the distance between each other, even if they suffer a surprise attack at Jiannu night, we will not hesitate. This is probably the lesser of two evils that His Majesty often said."

Zhu Cijiong asked again: "Then you must have suffered a lot from the hands of Jiannu who refused to accept you at night, right?"

"That's needless to say." Xu Yingwei's face collapsed, and he said in a deep voice, "During the half-year skirmish, we sacrificed more than 200 scouts."

"Xu Gejian, you will no longer have to suffer from this loss in the future."

Zhu Cijiong said: "Because Gu brought you a good thing."

"Good thing?" Xu Yingwei asked doubtfully, "What good thing did King Ding bring?"

While he was talking, there was a sudden hiss of a horse in the wilderness ahead, followed by two gunshots, with a faint grunt of pain mixed in with the gunshots.

Xu Yingwei and Zhu Cijiong hurriedly raised their heads and looked forward,

I saw a few hundred paces ahead, a cavalry of Jiannu Yebuyi came out from the grass at some point.

That cavalryman Jiannu Yebuyan seemed to have just fired an arrow, and now he took another heavy arrow from his back quiver, and was about to snap it onto the bowstring of his big bow.

Almost at the same time, a scout from the Ming army in front fell off his horse.

Obviously, the scout from the Ming army had already been hit by an arrow, so he didn't know whether he was just injured or shot to death.

"Damn it!" Xu Yingwei clapped his fists bitterly, and shouted again, "Come back, don't chase after me!"

Xu Yingwei summed up a bloody lesson from countless outpost battles, don't chase Jiannu and refuse to take him overnight, otherwise he will only shed more blood and suffer even greater losses.

However, as soon as Xu Yingwei finished speaking, Zhu Cijiong rode his horse and chased after him.

"Remonstrance Xu, look at it." Zhu Cijiong shouted loudly, "Look at how Gu kills this Jian slave and does not accept him at night."

"Prince Ding, come back quickly!" Seeing this, Xu Yingwei was shocked, thinking that if King Ding had something good or bad, how could the Holy One spare him?This is the golden branch and jade leaf of the Ming Dynasty, absolutely nothing can happen.

However, Zhu Cijiong turned a deaf ear and just urged his horses to chase him forward.

Seeing that Zhu Cijiong could not be stopped, Xu Yingwei quickly ordered Xu Wuniu and Xu Yinglong to lead a team of scouts to protect the two wings, and then personally led a team of scout cavalry to follow and chase after him.

However, Zhu Cijiong's war horse was a BMW brought from Nanjing.

The Mongolian horses captured by Xu Yingwei and the others couldn't catch up at all.

After a while, Xu Yingwei and the others were left far behind by Zhu Cijiong.

Seeing this, Xu Yingwei was in a hurry to shit, and immediately took a whip to beat the horse's ass desperately, but the horse under his crotch ran off the horse's hoof, and still couldn't catch up with Zhu Cijiong.

Xu Yingwei could only watch helplessly as Zhu Cijiong passed the scout cavalry ahead.

At this time, there were no Ming army cavalry between Zhu Cijiong and Jiannu Yebushou, and Jiannu Yebushou in front had already spotted Zhu Cijiong who was chasing him, so he immediately buckled his bowstring and slowed down his horse.

Jian Nu Ye Bu Shou turned his head to look at the pursuers from time to time.

Those who can take over the night are the elite of Jiannu.

Therefore, the effective range of the Dashao bow can reach eighty steps.

Zhu Cijiong also has a clear understanding of this point.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was only a hundred steps.

One hundred paces, this distance is already beyond the effective range of an ordinary flintlock gun, even standing up and shooting is impossible to hit accurately, especially on the back of a galloping horse.

But what Zhu Cijiong was holding was not an ordinary flintlock, but a rifled flintlock!

While the horse was galloping, Zhu Cijiong had already got up from the horse's back, with his hips hanging in the air, and only his legs were clamping the horse's belly. The whole body rose and fell with the rhythm of the horse, achieving the perfect integration of man, horse and spear.

At a certain moment, Zhu Cijiong lightly pulled the trigger, followed by a bang.

When he looked closely again, he saw that Jiannu Yebushou, who was a hundred paces ahead, had already fallen off his horse.
