I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 143 Only by setting a long line can you catch a big fish

Chapter 142

"Really?"

When Huang Taiji heard it, he stood up suddenly, short of breath: "Is there really 30 shi of grain?"

Fan Wencheng put the note in his hand with both hands: "Fan Yongdou, the Patriarch of the Fan family, will report by Haidong Qingfei letter and letter, there will be no mistakes!"

Huang Taiji snatched the note, first read it quickly, then turned around and read it carefully several times, with an extremely excited expression.

Huang Taiji let out a long sigh of relief, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, okay! It's really great! The Fan family has made a great contribution to my Dajin!"

Fan Wencheng was also very happy. With the 30 shi of grain, Dajin could survive this most difficult time.

During this period of time, more and more people complained about the Seven Great Haters raising troops, especially the 4000 million taels of silver for disaster relief, which put Huang Taiji on fire.

The truth about the mansion banknote incident in the 17th year of Wanli is actually quite simple. This is just a misunderstanding. In fact, the disaster relief incident by the imperial court in the 17th year of Wanli is true, and it is indeed the same thing. The relief money is 40 taels, not 4000 million. Two, because the thousand and ten in the Ming Dynasty are only written as thousands or ten when keeping accounts, and in the record form, they are written as thousands or ten.

Since the banknotes were manually transcribed, there was a word error, and the same incident can be found by looking for the same event in the 17th year of Wanli, but the problem is that it says 40 taels of silver.

40 taels of silver and 4000 million taels of silver are completely different.Millions of people were affected by the disaster, and 40 taels of silver was used for disaster relief. On average, each victim received less than three taels of silver.This is a completely different concept from 4000 million taels of silver for disaster relief and an average of 30 taels of silver per person.

But the problem is that they don't believe it at all when they show evidence and give a reasonable explanation.

Because the language is pale, cattle and sheep died in every household, and all suffered heavy losses. The food purchased was only for the people of the Kingdom of Jin to eat, but it could not fill the big hole caused by the snowstorm.

If Huang Taiji said that he was not worried about rumors shaking the foundation of the Dajin Kingdom, he would be lying.Ordinary people are ignorant and ignorant. Once ordinary people are deceived by rumors and take risks, he can only send troops to suppress the rebellion. However, the population of Dajin Kingdom is small, and if one more person dies, the strength of Dajin Kingdom will also be weakened.

Ordinary people are illiterate, and those who can get the Wanli mansion banknotes must be the dignitaries of the Dajin Kingdom. Is this because someone is dissatisfied with him?
Who is this person?
The three Dorgon brothers?

Armin?

Mangurtai?

or……

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, let's stare at him first. In this regard, Huang Taiji did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Huang Taiji finally saw the essence of the problem. The 30 shi of grain could not be bought with silver alone. It also needed Shuangchengwei and five towns and forts near Meituo Lake.

In fact, Cheng Shijie guessed wrong. Ordinary Jiannu really had no sense of territory. As for Shuangchengwei, the hometown of Jianzhen Jurchen, many people had left there long ago. It was too bitter and cold there.

But the problem is that no matter how bad Huang Taiji is, he is still the Khan of a country. The position he sits in is destined to have a different structure, a different vision, and a different way of thinking about problems.

Cheng Shijie could see the importance of the strategic position of Shuangchengwei, and Huang Taiji could also see it.

Huang Taiji looked at the note and said with a sneer: "This Cheng Shijie has some bad intentions, he is quite capable of seeing stitches!

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The person Cheng Shijie relied on was nothing more than the navy of the Ning Navy. He thought that our Dajin Kingdom is not good at water warfare. With a navy, we can defend the Meituo Lake. In fact, he is short-sighted!"

"Short-sighted? These words..."

Huang Taiji quickly realized that Meituo Lake was different from Jinzhou and Lushun Port. It was a natural ice-free port. It did not mean that the temperature in Lushun could not reach below zero, but because the salinity of seawater would affect the freezing of seawater.

The higher the salinity, the lower the temperature that needs to be frozen.

But Meituo Lake is different. This is a freshwater lake. The temperature will drop rapidly in September every year. Generally, it will freeze in the first ten days or late October. Starting in November, the ice surface of Meituo Lake can be used for horse racing, that is, It is said that from November to the end of February of the next year, the entire ice surface is frozen for more than three months, nearly four months.

Just like Dajin took advantage of the frozen opportunity to cross the Yalu River and kill North Korea.

Freezing in winter is a natural boost for Jianu.

Battle of Juehua Island,
As long as the battle of Phi Island involves an attack on the sea, Jiannu can only use his strength to attack along the ice surface.

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "What Master Fan said is very true! Through this transaction, Ben Khan can see his quality clearly. He is nothing more than a warrior, brave but not resourceful, greedy for money and lustful. It's a headache, but it won't be a big deal in the end!"

Fan Wencheng said: "It's nothing more than people like Yingbu and Peng Yue!"

Huang Taiji laughed loudly: "Yes, yes! Let the Fan family continue to trade with Cheng Shijie, and King Ben Khan agrees to give the land of Shuangchengwei to Cheng Shijie for farming!"

"The more he farms, the better the income, which is more beneficial to King Khan!"

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The pigs must be fattened before they are killed!"

"Let the Fan family try to bribe him."

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "King Khan, don't worry, it's not difficult to deal with such an inexperienced, greedy and lustful guy. With the strength of the Fan family, it is too easy to win him over!"

Huang Taiji laughed heartily.

Facts have proved that he underestimated Cheng Shijie.

This is a very terrible mistake, he underestimated no one can underestimate Cheng Shijie.

……

"There are sixty out of three hundred feathers and insects, and Haidongqing is the most handsome. The nature is golden, the spirit is full of fire virtue, and the different talents show Yaoguang star."The author of this poem is Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and the content is to praise a majestic Costinus.

Costin has a flying speed that is rare among birds. It can exceed 140 kilometers per hour in high-altitude level flight, and even exceed 200 kilometers per hour in submersion, and its flight altitude can reach more than 5000 meters.Most birds and some small beasts are included in its attack range.

Using Hai Dongqing to send a message is a very effective method. Even if it is more than 800 miles from Shenyang to Jinzhou, it only takes two to three hours for Hai Dongqing.

Fan Yongdou had two eagle slaves who built slaves by his side, and was responsible for training and feeding the pair of Hai Dongqing. It took only one night for his news to spread, and at dawn, Fan Yongdou received a secret order from Huang Taiji. He agreed to Ning Haijun's request and negotiated with Ning Haijun with Bao Chengxian as the plenipotentiary representative.

Huang Taiji agreed to give the land of Shuangchengwei and the land of more than 320 miles from the south of Meituo Lake to the sea, a total of [-] miles from east to west, or about [-] square kilometers, to the Ning Navy for garrison.

However, Huang Taiji made another request, that is, Ning Haijun must sell them 40 shi of grain instead of 30 shi. In addition, the grain in the Shuangchengwei area will be sold at the price of ten shi. Acquired from Ning Haijun.

When Xie Jinglin reported the latest negotiation results to Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie did not hesitate, taking advantage of the Ning Navy generals around him.

Cheng Shijie held a small meeting, and also cut to the chase: "Now the commander-in-chief needs to make temporary adjustments, and needs a task to set up a military control committee. The level... is temporarily set to the level of the executive committee."

The executive committee, in the Liaodong system, is lower than the management committee, but it is a sub-level of the management committee. In fact, it is already equivalent to the level of the guard. People like Jinzhou, Haizhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou are all executive committee members. Council level, although Zhenhai and Lushun are also at the level of the executive committee, but at this level, the deputy presides over the work, which is equivalent to a lower level.

But it is higher than the management committee and the grassroots organization work committee.

To set the tone of the working committee, there is actually not much choice within the Ning Navy. Apart from Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu, Li Zhixiang, Zhao Wencai, etc., only generals at the level of Liu Qingsong and Zhou Ning are eligible .

At this moment, Chen Dayong raised his hand and said, "How about I come!"

Chen Dayong's rank is said to be on the same level as Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu, and Li Zhixiang, and one level higher than Li Fang, Liu Qingsong, and others. Being the director of the Military Management Committee is considered a condescension.

In fact, Chen Dayong has no choice, because his official script is a naval system, and he usually has no combat missions, just like workers in a factory go to work, to complete their own work, do not need to live in a military camp, and can return home.

But the question is, how dare he, Chen Dayong, go home?
His old father gave him 53 concubines. The Chen family is now thriving, owning more than 860 acres of land. Every concubine wants to give him a son and a half daughter.

In this situation, as long as he goes home, the group of concubines will swarm him, eager to squeeze him dry. Naturally, it is very enjoyable at the beginning, but after a long time, his waist can't stand it anymore.

False footsteps, weakness in limbs...

In the past, Chen Dayong was a training pacesetter. With his extraordinary stamina, he often won the top five in the armed cross-country of the Quanning Navy, but now, let alone the top five, it is good to be able to keep up with the team.

Now, he is terrified of going home.

But is it enough if you don't go home?
Whenever he was on duty, his adopted sons and daughters would wait outside the barracks, waiting for his father to come home?

Under such circumstances, Chen Dayong decided to carry out the task. He would rather face the fierce Jiannu than face the 53 concubines in his family.

Cheng Shijie nodded when he heard Chen Dayong's registration: "You are also very suitable for this military control committee!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Shijie pointed to the huge map, which was a high-definition map that Cheng Shijie enlarged and printed from later generations. He specially hired a Russian translator and spent more than 3000 yuan to draw it again. The excuse was film and television props.

"This is Meituo Lake. Along the lake, I plan to build five cities, namely East Lake City, West Lake City, North Lake City, Shuangcheng City, and Xiaodong City."

Cheng Shijie pointed to the [-]-square-kilometer Maetuo Lake and said: "If you want to defend these five cities, you need the cooperation of the navy. The commander plans to send [-] ships with [-] guns. , plus [-] transport ships to form the Meituo Lake Naval Force. If there is a case over there, Chen is sometimes transferred there, and Chen is sometimes transferred to the deputy director of the Shuangcheng Military Management Committee!"

"What about the soldier?"

Chen Dayong said urgently: "The five cities, especially the three cities north of Meituo Lake, are under heavy defense pressure!"

"As our troops move northward, the defensive pressure on the 68th castle in Fuzhou City will not be too great. From the 68th garrison bureau, we will deploy four outposts each, for a total of 400 outposts. The total strength of these 400 outposts is 3000. [-] troops, with these [-] troops as the old base, I will recruit another [-] troops as the basic guard force."

Cheng Shijie estimated that he said to recruit 3000 troops, and estimated that the number of people joining the army may exceed 8000, or even [-].In this era, as long as there is money and people, it is really easy to train the army. For a soldier who has not received training, it takes two to three months from the beginning of training to the completion of all training subjects.

The field troops of the Ning Navy are all drawn from the garrison. This is also to give the garrison a room for advancement and meritorious service. First, 400 people are drawn from [-] second-line garrison areas, and then new recruits are added to the garrison. More than [-] troops were transferred from the Defense Bureau for the second time. In this way, the [-]th Defense Bureau will complete a major change of nearly half of its personnel.

In this way, when recruits join the army, the first step is to enter the garrison capital and take on basic garrison tasks. Of course, while performing garrison tasks, they also need to strengthen training.

Troop training is a never-ending process.

Cheng Shijie said: "Although Jiannu promised not to attack this place, we don't have much time, and there are still more than two months before the ice is frozen, which is at least half a month longer than our place to Shuangchengwei. In other words, your time will be less, only about fifty days. To build five cities in more than fifty days, the time is tight, the pressure is great, and the task is heavy, do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

"It's just the task of building the city, it depends on how many people the commander gives to the general!"

"Three hundred project hundred households, each city has sixty hundred households, at least 3 people!"

"I will have the confidence to complete the task when the supplies are sufficient!"

"That's good!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "To survive in Liaodong, it is completely different from outside the customs. You need to store a lot of food and coal. Every newly built house needs to build a fire pit, and you don't need to build a fire pit room. You also need to build a fire wall. The amount of food reserves needs to be at least five liters per person per day. The freezing period of Meituo Lake is about 120 days. We need to store enough food for everyone in the cities of Shuangchengwei for at least 150 days. We need to store coal for half a year We must not repeat the mistakes of Dalinghe City."

"Yes, the task is guaranteed to be completed!"

Cheng Shijie's order was in quadruplicate, with Cheng Shijie's name signed and a big seal used, and it was sent directly to the commander of the Ning Navy's garrison capital, the management committee, and the Ning Navy's navy.

After receiving Cheng Shijie's order, the garrison divisions immediately began to mobilize elites, and 400 troops began to board the ship at Haizhou Port, and the management committee began to ship the hundreds of households that were prepared and ready to be distributed to Mae. Tuo Lake.

After this major change happened, Song Xiance also came to the Ninghai Navy Camp by the Taizi River. When he saw Cheng Shijie, he asked with some concern: "My lord, only [-] people went to Shuangchengwei, is it... ..."

"Is it what?"

"It's a little risky!"

Song Xiance smiled wryly and said: "It is the hinterland of Jiannu after all, I am afraid that Jiannu will break his word and break his promise!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "I have never believed in Huang Taiji. I will not believe a word of his words. Now there are only more than 50 days before Meituo Lake is frozen. Do you think Huang Taiji will believe that this commander will stop now?" Send troops over there?"

"probably not!"

Song Xiance said: "Then if Chen Dayong leads the troops to arrive, wouldn't Jiannu find out right away?"

"It's easy to go from thrifty to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant to frugal!"

Cheng Shijie said with a faint smile: "After the Jiannu rebellion, a large number of Jiannu left the left and right guards of Jianzhou, of course including the Shuangchengwei where they lived for generations. The winter there is very difficult. Huang Taiji should not find out, even if They found that it might not be easy to mobilize the troops there again!"

The source of Cheng Shijie's confidence was that Huang Taiji needed food, even if he turned his face immediately, he had to wait until the food was available before doing anything.

But what Cheng Shijie and Huang Taiji were playing was actually a conspiracy, and the food was the bait.

For the sake of food, Jiannu will definitely not move lightly. Even if Jiannu wants to send troops, the focus will be in the southern Liaoning area, not Shuangchengwei.

The Shuangchengwei will have a year or more as a buffer time.

When Jiannu draws his hand, the five cities of Meituo Lake will be completely constructed. With Jiannu's ability, it is almost impossible to break through the five cities of Meituo Lake. Break through the well-defended, powerful firepower of the city.

Cheng Shijie's troops sent to Shuangchengwei in advance have strengthened 130 and six thunderbolts. That is to say, Chen Dayong's troops have more than [-] people and have the ability to shoot [-] lead bullets at a time.

Cheng Shijie also has a serious fear of insufficient firepower. In addition to 130 six thunderbolts, he also strengthened [-] flying thunder cannons.

On the basis of the tripping mines of the Ning Navy, a small thunderbolt was developed, which can also be said to be the grenade of later generations. This kind of tactical defensive grenade with a shell made of pig iron has a total weight of 550 grams. One hundred grams of granular black powder is equivalent to sixty grams of TNT in power.

Why did Ning Haijun achieve a grenade that is obviously not too heavy, but can have a larger charge?This is actually a simple coup.

The grenades manufactured by later generations have complex safety devices, but Ning Haijun's grenade does not have this kind of grenade, and it is not even a finished product. It is just a pig iron shell, a wooden handle, and pre-packaged granular black powder.

When they arrive at the battlefield, they are assembled by the soldiers themselves, and then in battle, they can be detonated directly by lighting the fuze. The equipment of the trip mine is too heavy, although it should be as small as possible, but it weighs about 160 grams, plus this With the string-pull fuze device, the total weight of the entire grenade will be as high as 710 grams, which is about one and a half catties. Even a man with amazing arm strength can hardly throw it 50 meters away.

In this case, Jiannu still wanted to attack the five cities of Meituo Lake, so he could only use his life to fill it.Without the death of tens of thousands of people, Jiannu would never want to gnaw at the five cities of Meituo Lake.

When Cheng Shijie and Song Xiance were discussing the five cities of Meituo Lake, they had inspected the Hu Erqi Department of the Ning Navy at the foot of Qianshan Mountain, and found a slave cavalry in front of them.

I don't know which department this belongs to, but as long as it is a slave, then you are welcome.

Hu Erqi excitedly said: "It's our man's great contribution, Su Wannayan rushed forward!"

Although Hu Erqi speaks Chinese very fluently, if you don't consider his appearance, it is difficult to hear Hu Erqi's accent.

Su Wannayan was born in the Guerjia family, and the Guerjia family is one of the eight Jurchen surnames, the first family in the founding of the country, and its prestige and power are slightly inferior to the Aixinjueluo family.Su Wan Guerjia has: the first hero of the founding of the country, the third-class Xinyonggong Fei Yingdong, the [-]th Minister Yang Shan, the [-]th Minister Yisun, the Shangshu and the Minister of State Lang Ge, the [-]th Minister Wei Qi, Gu Mingfu Minister of Political Affairs, first-class Gong Oboi, University scholar Che Ke, University scholar of National History Academy, Bashike Ganglin, Minister of Industry Shi Guozhu, Ministry of Punishment Chengzheng Shi Tianzhu, Minister of Military Affairs Shi Tingzhu, Minister of the Interior Hua Shanhe Shuo's son-in-law, third-class uncle Shi Wenbing , Guan Xifu, Director of the Ministry of Industry, Minister, Third Class Bo Santai, Governor of Liangjiang Ma Jile, General Zaobao of Xi'an.

In terms of blood relationship, Su Wannayan is still related to the great name Fei Yingdong. His father is Huerhaqi Bayan, the third son of Suo Erguo, the leader of the Suwan tribe. Fei Yingdong is his uncle, and Fei Yingdong is his uncle. Obai is his cousin.Because Su Wannayan's mother was from the Ming Dynasty, following Jiannu's previous victories against Ming Dynasty, Su Wannayan was not only not valued in the family, but was excluded by everyone.

In particular, Su Wannayan did not have the opportunity to marry a widow who had lost her husband until she was 35 years old. After marriage, the couple did not live in harmony.

Small horses and large carts, it is strange that they can be harmonious.

In the fifth year of Tianqi, during the Battle of Liuhe, he went out with the army. Although he did not have the merit of beheading, he snatched two horses and gave them to his superiors, so he became a red armor soldier.

However, when he came home, he found his wife and his cousin Tulai in his home...

This matter is actually very common in Jiannu, but because of the education he has received since childhood, he can't bear it. However, the problem is that Tulai's father is Fei Yingdong, and his own father is Huer Haqiba Yan...

Although both of them have become ghosts, the disparity in status is too great. He punched Tulai, but was beaten by a group of Tulai's servants... he was beaten to death, but was accused of being a cheapskate.

Until more than half a year ago, Su Wannayan followed Azige to attack southern Liaoning, Azige was defeated, and Su Wannayan, who had been treated unfairly all his life, took the opportunity to desert.

Later, Su Wannayan hid in the pig cage mountain.

In February of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Hu Erqi made great contributions to the victory in Haizhou, and led his subordinates to pursue Duoduo's troops, and found Su Wannayan who was almost frozen to death in Zhulong Mountain.Hu Erqi wanted to cut Su Wannayan's head off as a military exploit, but Su Wandayan hugged Hu Erqi's thigh and cried...

Su Wannayan, who was living away from himself, finally hunted some prey, but met Jiannu's rout, not only took all of Su Wannayan's jerky, but also his only horse. horse.

Su Wannayan was proficient in hunting methods, and led Hu Erqi to catch up with the dozens of rout soldiers... In this way, with Hu Erqi's guarantee, Su Wannayan became a member of the Hu Erqi Department of the Ning Navy.

The hunting cavalry battalion under Hu Erqi is a unique establishment of Ning Haijun. All the troops are Jurchens, 12 people form a team, and a captain is set up.The four teams form a post with a post chief.The three posts are a division, with a hundred chiefs.The two divisions form one bureau, with a commander in chief.The two bureaus are one total, and a thousand total is set.

Now Su Wannayan is one of the four thousand generals under Hu Erqi's command. In a short period of time, he is proficient in hunting, setting traps, and bowing horses. Su Wannayan quickly became one of the four thousand generals under Hu Erqi's command.

When Hu Erqi sent troops, there were only more than 800 people, but the more he fought, the more people he fought, and he expanded from the original two rounds that were not full of the number to four.

Regardless of the reason these Jurchens took refuge in Hu Erqi, it was actually because of dissatisfaction.

Especially those Haixi Jurchens who were captured by Jianzhou Jurchen, their status and treatment were poor. Although they were better than the Han army, they were still dissatisfied.

Being a Ning Haijun is better than building a slave army, that is, you can eat enough.

After a while of fighting, the Jiannu cavalry found that they had been surrounded, and they had no chance to run again. More than 2000 Ning Navy cavalry hunters, these more than 100 Jiannu consciously raised their hands.

"Surrender, surrender to your mother, now that you have surrendered, what have you been doing?"

Hu Erqi pointed at Su Wannayan and said, "Let them rest assured of their bows and arrows and weapons, and all get off their horses!"

The more than 100 Jiannu dared not resist, so they put down their weapons, bows and arrows, and jumped off their horses.

Hu Erqi took a tin trumpet snatched from his subordinates and shouted: "Take off your pants!"

These encircled slave cavalry looked at each other, a little hesitant.

Does this nobleman have special hobbies?
Now they have no choice but to unbutton their belts.

Hu Erqi waited for the Chaser to laugh: "Haha..."

The besieged Jiannu realized that they had been tricked.

Hu Erqi shouted with a tin horn: "Because you don't know, I won't kill you today. You have to remember that from now on, the south of Qianshan Mountain is our Ning Haijun territory. If you want to come here, Apply to this garrison in advance, if you don't ask for instructions, you are good at provocation, you... will be hit hard by this garrison, get out, I won't kill you!"

Hu Erqi waved his hand, and the hunting cavalry really dispersed, leaving a big opening, and the more than 100 enslaved cavalry who were surrounded hurriedly ran towards the distance as if they had received an amnesty.

Half a day later, these more than 100 slave cavalrymen returned to their camp after running with their legs broken.

If these Jian slaves had read books, they would not have returned directly to their camps.

Just as they were about to report the situation to their leader, there were bursts of hurried hoofbeats in the valley.

When the more than 100 Jiannu cavalry looked back, their faces changed drastically.

Hu Erqi led his cavalry hunters to surround the valley. These cavalry hunters killed Jiannu more ruthlessly than soldiers of the Ming army. They could be killed with a single knife, but if they had to chop more than a dozen knifes, it would be a mess. The blood was flowing, it was horrible.

Hu Erqi laughed and said, "You can't be too greedy. You have to set a long line to catch big fish. There are more than 1000 horses, five or six hundred cows, and more than 2 sheep. Let's get rich!"
