Chapter 10 All for Living
"Building Dalinghe City? Later Jin will attack?" In Li Xin's mind, he finally grasped that ray of light, and his complexion changed drastically, turning pale as paper.No wonder, he always felt that Dalinghe was so familiar. After hearing the analysis of the two just now, he suddenly remembered this place. In history, in the past, or for Li Xin, in the near future, In this place of Daling River City, a big battle will break out. The two sides in the battle are the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin. The two sides have been fighting for several months by the Daling River. As the core, the two sides competed for this strategic location, and invested as many as 10,000+ troops. Later Jinhuang Taiji soldiers trapped Dalinghe City, causing countless casualties in Dalinghe City, and in the end it was even prey on people.Outside the city, Huang Taiji used elite cavalry to defeat the Ming army who came to support Dalinghe several times, and finally won the battle of Dalinghe.As a result of the victory, the Ming Dynasty has been completely on the defensive since then, and Jinzhou City was quickly fallen. If there was no Shanhaiguan, the capital might not be safe.The most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, was completely lost. Although Wu Sangui still built a Guanning Iron Cavalry later, it could not be compared with the Guanning Iron Cavalry back then.However, Jin's iron cavalry was outside the Zongheng Pass, and there was no longer any strength that could be resisted.If it hadn't been for Huang Taiji's death from illness not long after, and the internal struggles in Houjin were very fierce, the Ming Dynasty might have been wiped out a few years earlier.

And all of this was not a big deal to Li Xin, but now it is different. He is a prisoner. If there is no accident, prisoners like them may be the main force in the construction of Dalinghe City.If so, he would either be killed by the Qing army, or be eaten up by the soldiers under Zu Dashou's command in Dalinghe City.Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but shuddered, trembling all over, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of horror.

"My lord, what's wrong with you, my lord? Doctor Xin, your lord's illness has occurred again." Gao Meng, who was on the side, noticed the change on Li Xin's face, and hurriedly said loudly.

"Don't talk. Don't shout." Li Xin finally waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Li Xin finally regained his composure, but the frightened look in his eyes was so eye-catching, it was Yang Xiong and Jiang The two of them were also very surprised.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, has the higher-ups agreed to build Dalinghe City?" Li Xin asked with luck.

"That's natural. That's the order of the old governor, Sun Chengzong. Who wouldn't obey it." Zhang Yifu said proudly, "I think that since the governor of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong, he won a battle not long ago, and the Eastern captives were in a mess. If you don’t take advantage of this time to build Daling River City, when will you have to wait? Even the imperial court agreed and increased the Liao’s salary. Many businessmen heard the news and planned to build Daling How about taking some advantage in Hecheng? I heard that Marshal Zu Dashou is personally supervising this time, and those local businessmen in Liaodong may be lucky. Hey! In fact, it is better to use so much money to build iron cavalry with so much Liao pay. , Maybe they went to Shenyang a long time ago. How can we continue to build Dalinghe City like this!" Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi who were nearby nodded in rare ways.It's just that Li Xin didn't care about these.

"That's really the case." Li Xin wished that time would go back again. If he had known that Liaodong would look like this, he wouldn't have stayed in Liaodong and headed to Jinzhou because Yang Xiong, Jiang Yi and others were killed.It's just that Jinzhou is right in front of you, if you want to escape, I'm afraid that Zu Zerun, who has wanted to kill him for a long time, will lead a large cavalry to kill him soon.But in the same way, Liaodong is definitely not a place to wait for a long time.It is necessary to leave here. At this time, personal bravery is nothing at all, and Li Xin can't make fun of his own life.So he has to get out of here.Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but glance at the three of Yang Xiong, Yang Xiong, Jiang Yi or Gao Meng, the three of them are at least temporarily with him, with these three people, there will be more people united Together, emerge victorious in the battles ahead.

"Captain Yang, have you really decided to stay here?" Li Xin thought for a while and asked in a low voice.There was a trace of nervousness on his face, relying on him alone, he could not escape from Liaodong, and one more person could provide an extra layer of protection.And Yang Xiong is good at martial arts, he is a very good helper.

"That's natural." Yang Xiong nodded and said, "If I go back at this time, let alone whether it's my turn to be the headhunter, but always being a headhunter is obviously for me. What's more, Liaodong is a place of war. Even if you can't be promoted here, you can get money if you kill one or two soldiers from the East. I am willing to live this kind of life. I just don't know how to vote. Who is better?"

Li Xin nodded, and then looked at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was naturally calm. If this kind of person was placed in the past, he would have been a general. Unfortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, he could only be a small official, working all day long. Bullied by the superior.At this time, can he still bow down for the wealth and honor in the future?Or will he help himself because of Li Gu?
"Where is the son, I will be there." Jiang Yi's eyes were very flat, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart at all, but the words he said were sonorous and powerful, making people have to believe him.

"Yes, young master, we will be where you are." Gao Meng hurriedly said, not to be outdone.

"That's very good." Li Xin nodded, and then said to Zhang Yifu: "Master Zhang, if you believe Li Xin's words, you should quickly hand over the goods and leave this place. There will be a battlefield after this place. If you are here, He must die." Li Xin didn't know if there was such a small person in history, and he didn't know if Zhang Yifu had caught up with this war, but he did know that if there was such a big war, Zhang Yifu might Can't escape this war, and the fat is eaten by others.

"My lord, you are saying that the Dalinghe City cannot be built?" Zhang Yifu said in disbelief, "As long as there are many people and the current Dalinghe City still has a foundation, the city can be built in two or three months. , At that time, with red cannons, tiger cannons and other weapons on the back, Jinzhou is backed, food, grass and ammunition are sufficient, as long as tens of thousands of horses, it is enough to make Dalinghe City as solid as soup, Donglu just wants to capture Daling River City is almost impossible. As long as Daling River City drags the Donglu army under the city, our army of the Ming Dynasty can take the opportunity to calmly annihilate the Donglu army under the Daling River." Zhang Yifu looked triumphant I don't know where I heard these words, anyway, there is a market, even Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi on one side also nodded repeatedly, but they were willing to listen to Li Xin's orders, and finally their eyes fell on Li Xin. on the letter.

"Hehe, it's so good, so good." Li Xin nodded, but he would not make decisions for Zhang Yifu. Although Zhang Yifu took good care of him along the way, he was not a person who was sincere to him.After thinking for a while, he said: "The Donglu today is not the Donglu of the past. I once heard that Donglu also has red cannons in his hands. If the red cannons are used to attack the city, how will I defend the city? And when it comes to field battles, then my army of the Ming Dynasty is not the opponent of the Donglu cavalry. Although the Guanning cavalry is very powerful, if it is really compared, I am afraid it is not the opponent of the Donglu cavalry! More importantly, Mrs. Sun certainly wants to make contributions in Liaodong and work hard for the king's affairs, but in the court, those high officials probably don't think so! Regarding Dalinghe City, or the territory north of Jinzhou, the court has always been There is no conclusion. The officials in the court have proposed more than once that Jinzhou should be used as the boundary and be stationed in Jinzhou to resist the eastern captive army. Therefore, it is unknown whether the Dalinghe City will be built or not. "What Li Xin said was not a lie. There have been many times in history. For Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty had many countermeasures, or like Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong, they built cities and encroached on Liaodong step by step. This is extremely slow. But it is the most secure. Of course, this is only when the domestic political environment is clear, the treasury is sufficient, and there is no civil strife. Of course, the most important thing is that the enemy is not good at attacking; Jinzhou line, give up the place north of Jinzhou.Both countermeasures have their own advantages and disadvantages.Of course, for Li Xin, both are wrong decisions.Offense is the best way to deal with Houjin.Who makes the current Houjin's methods of attacking the city not inferior to the Ming Dynasty's army at all!Defending Jinzhou is simply a wrong decision.

"My lord, are you saying that Jinzhou cannot be defended, or that Dalinghe City cannot resist the Donglu's attack at all?" Zhang Yifu hesitated.

"You'd better sell the goods and go back to the Central Plains as soon as possible." Li Xin finally stopped talking. It's already very good to be able to talk so much with Zhang Yifu, but it's only because of the help of the other party along the way. Reminder, otherwise, it is obviously not in line with Li Xin's code of conduct to talk shallow and deep. You must know that the so-called construction of the Daling River seems to be a matter of Liaodong, but in fact, it is the two forces in the DPRK and China that are constantly In Liaodong, Sun Chengzong, the old supervisor, obviously advocated the construction of Dalinghe City, and then attacked Shenyang City step by step.This kind of ideal is certainly good, but the reality is different. How could the army of the later Jin Dynasty allow the army of the Ming Dynasty to erode itself step by step?That Huang Taiji is a rare Ming Jun, how could he allow this kind of thing to continue.

"Really want to go back?" Zhang Yifu was a little reluctant.Here, he still needs to buy more furs and ginseng, and then transport them to the Central Plains to earn high profits. If he leaves now, it is obviously not in line with Zhang Yifu's way of doing business.

"Hmph! Since my young master told you to leave here, you must leave here. Could it be that Donglu came to arrest you? Or you are Donglu's spy, and you want to join Donglu?" Yang Xiong was dissatisfied. Said.

"Bah! I am the son of the Han family in the Central Plains, how could I be a slave of the Eastern captives. My body, hair, and skin were given by my parents, how can I go and join the Eastern captives?" Zhang Yifu glared at Yang Xiong in dissatisfaction. But he bowed his hands to Li Xin, and then ordered people to drive the carriage forward.

"That's a man." Li Xin nodded.It is a national policy for Houjin to send out. After Houjin entered the customs that year, the first order given by his subordinates was to send out.I don't know how many Han Jiaerlang rose up to resist because of this incident.

"My lord, is what you said true?" Yang Xiong asked nervously.He was originally from Daming, and although he was dissatisfied with the treacherous officials in the court, he still had feelings for Daming.

"I don't think your son is wrong. My Ming Dynasty seems to have a vast territory, but what have you seen these years? There are so many treacherous officials in the court, and no one is willing to do things for the common people. All of them occupy land, and I don’t know how many people have been displaced. However, the gentlemen of the court are still caught in internal strife. It is said that the matter outside the pass is constantly building cities, or retreating to Jinzhou. There is no fixed number, hehe, according to my opinion, the Liao pay of several million taels of silver is not as good as building an army. But it is used to build the city, and the Donglu will let you build the city with peace of mind? You are really stupid. "

"Then what should we do now?" Yang Xiong glanced at Jiang Yi in dissatisfaction, but he was dissatisfied with Jiang Yi's showing off in front of Li Xin, and said, "Even if we can leave now, my lord can't, so what should we do? "

"I don't know either. We will do what the young master tells us." Jiang Yi opened his mouth, but finally said with his head down.

"Yes, yes, we will do what the young master says. Even if we go back to the Central Plains now, I, Gao Meng, will follow the young master." Gao Meng said indifferently. He never thought that if he went back like this, then tantamount to rebellion.But Yang Xiong looked at Gao Meng with idiot eyes.

"The only thing we can do right now is to wait and see what happens." Li Xin thought for a while, and said to Jiang Yi: "The two of you are good at martial arts, and one Gao Meng is added. In my opinion, I will join Governor Qiu's command. There are very few people who can use you, and he is also a literati, so he must have a little impression of my father. If you join his command, you will trust you and reuse you. You can take the opportunity to recruit others and subdue people's hearts. Once you really want to fight , and also have a chance to protect ourselves. It would be good if we can not go to Dalinghe City. In the future, when His Majesty amnesties the world, we will take the opportunity to return to the Central Plains. Is it a question of whether you will follow me back to the Central Plains?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yi." Yang Xiong and Gao Meng said without thinking.

"What about the young master?" Jiang Yi asked quickly.

"The more people you have, the safer I will be." Li Xin glanced at Jiang Yi, but his eyes were looking into the distance, and said slowly.

"Yes, I understand." Jiang Yi was startled, and quickly lowered his head and said.
