Chapter 764 The Grassland Conquest Begins Again (Second Change)

He Jinzhao opened the bamboo tube, poured out the letter, and first looked at the wax seal, it was very complete.

After he opened it, it was a message from Princess Wuliangha, and Hou Jin made a move.

Huang Taiji ordered the Mongolian tribes who surrendered to Houjin to meet quickly.

Taiji from Horqin, Zalut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Harqin, Tumot (migration), Alu Horqin, Ongniud, Asut and other ministries will be on the bank of the West Ramulun River. At around 10, it is said that they want to avenge Sanbeilemangurtai and attack Jizhen.

Princess Wuliangha felt that Huang Taiji knew who the real murderer of Mang Gurtai was, so she thought it was for He Jinzhao.

The news is that two Mongols from Houjinxianghuangqi stole their horses and sent the news of the army's suppression to Princess Wuliangha.

She has sent the news to Na Muzhong, Wu Guojun, Lin Danhan and He Jinzhao respectively.

Judging from the distance, He Jinzhao was the slowest to receive the news.

"Designed to kill Uncle Jingliao and Wu Guojun?"

He Jinzhao shook his head, and he didn't feel that Huang Taiji came after him.

The main goal of Hou Jin is Lin Danhan, who wants to unify Mongolia, so as to turn the long defense line of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty into a place where he can attack everywhere.

Houjin's policy has completely changed, instead of fighting in Liaodong, it will give full play to its advantage of being good at raiding.

"This should be Huang Taiji's second expedition to Chahar Lindan Khan, and he really couldn't bear it anymore."

He Jinchao put away the letters first, and then discussed with several of his advisers after the inspection.

When the brother-in-law saw that there was an urgent military situation, he just stood aside and said nothing, and at the same time told several craftsmen to stay away, especially the Xiyi man, don't look around and carefully cut off his head.

"Brother-in-law, how long will it take for our Hongyi Cannon to make one?"

"Then Tang Ruowang said that the government recruited 240 skilled craftsmen to build a new iron furnace, smelt iron and make utensils. It takes two months to make a cannon, which consumes [-] catties of iron and more than [-] taels of silver. Yi Cannon weighs a thousand catties, is seven feet eight inches long, and two feet four inches in circumference."

Brother-in-law said this with a smile on his face: "Just now what I said was the government's method. We don't need to build a new iron furnace, we don't need sixty craftsmen, we don't need to consume so much iron, and we don't even need to spend so much money. many.

With only [-] craftsmen, we can make a Hongyi cannon that is longer, heavier, and more powerful than the government's cannon in one month. "

As a professional blacksmith who earned his living by blacksmithing, He Jinzhao was convinced by his brother-in-law's words.

He Jinzhao believes that his brother-in-law is very clear about the tricks of the government.

Now He Jinzhao can't find this kind of treatment for the craftsmen under his hands in the whole world.

Naturally, they would not come here with the government's methods, and the person in charge is also a professional, so doing these small tricks is obviously ruining their own future.

Most craftsmen can clearly distinguish which is more important.

"That's great." He Jinzhao laughed twice:

"I'm not in a hurry to use it. Even if I go out this time, I will still use the General Cannon as a field vehicle. My brother-in-law can help me grasp the quality of the cannon."

"I just need to call out a brigade of cannon-casting craftsmen, and build five additional iron-making furnaces, [-] furnaces a month, no problem with the designation."

"Well, the brother-in-law can make the decision on his own. In the end, he will bring more apprentices and train more technical talents. In the future, he will have to make new cannons, and he has to continue to develop new cannons."

He Jinzhao raised the letter in his hand: "Go ahead, I have to call everyone for a discussion."

"The commander-in-chief can leave."

He Jinzhao ordered the guards around him to call people to Piantouguan to discuss Huang Taiji's plan to attack Chahar.

When everyone rushes to get here.

He Jinzhao has already gathered people to watch on the sand table of the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty and Xuanfu in Datong, Shanxi.

"Master, everyone is here."

Only then did He Jinzhao raise his head, saw a few people coming, and said with a smile, "Staff Zhang, please sit down first and have a sip of tea. It won't be a short while."

"No need." Zhang Fuzhen rubbed his butt: "I'm riding a horse all the way, and I don't want to sit for a short time."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed, for the Jurchen Tartars and Mongol Tartars came together, they didn't have much danger.

The dog tartars ran thousands of miles to the grassland, trying to cut off his food and grass, which was enough for him to drink a pot.

This year, the Mongolians outside are so poor that they can't afford to eat. It is almost impossible to support war with war.

He Jinzhao asked military advisor Ji Gui to read the letter from Princess Wuliangha, and after reading it, distributed the copied ones, one copy for each.

After all, it is impossible for everyone to remember it after listening to it once. The main reason is to let everyone know the reason.

"Marshal, that Huang Taiji wants to march thousands of miles with 10 horses. The Mongols can eat beef jerky and drink mare's milk, but they also need more food."

Zhang Fuzhen pointed to the terrain on the sand table: "The best supplementary locations are Jizhen, Xuanfu and other places, so that he can support him to run across Datong and come to Shanxi to fight against us."

"Well, if there is no accident, the Shanxi merchants entrenched in the Zhangjiakou mutual market this time have raised enough food to supply Huang Taiji's people with food and drink."

He Jinchao asked, "Governor Zhang Zongheng of Xuanda, has he returned to Xuanfu after he wiped out the bandits?"

"Back to Commander." Qiu Zhitao stood up and said, "Since King Gao Chuang and others entered the hinterland of Henan and were about to march towards Huguang and other places in Sichuan, Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen returned to their respective residences together."

"Release the news that the Shanxi merchants at the Zhangjiakou Mutual Market have hoarded a large amount of grain and grass for the Jurchen Tartars."

He Jinzhao thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "However, with the attitude of Ming officials, I wish that the Mongol Tartars would be beaten up by the Jurchen Tartars and fight each other so that they could watch the excitement on the Great Wall.

It was wishful thinking to ask them to support Lin Danhan. He called Jiang Xiang back and asked him if he dared to send troops to Zhangjiakou to plunder food and return to Datong. "

"My lord, I suggest that it is better to wait for the Jurchen Tartars to arrive at the Xuan Mansion, and they will not bring the grain of the [-] army in one go.

Why not tell them to attack Datong with peace of mind, and even let them attack Shanxi with the intention of avenging Mangurtai. Only at that time can they better cut off their food roads. "

Zhang Fuzhen didn't have a good opinion of the Jurchen Tartars: "Doesn't he, Huang Taiji, like to run for thousands of miles?

Let's give him a hard blow, so that he will not dare to come to our Shanxi in a short time, and he will be hurt in one breath.

In case we fight in the Central Plains in the future, he will go to Shanxi or Datong, break through the city wall of Ji Town, and sneak attack our army from behind! "

"Let Shanxi merchants provide him with some food and grass, and then lure the enemy to go deeper?" He Jinzhao immediately looked at the sand table.
