Chapter 998 Happy and sad

   After the Zarut rebels were collected and the losses of the Bayue Special Department were counted, the results brought back made the leaders of the five Nekarka tribes and the leader of the Horqin tribe, Hongguoer, all face sinking.

The losses are secondary, and the key lies in the southward invasion of more than 50,000 troops. Before the official start of the attack, they were hit by Da Zhou, and they were beaten dizzy. It is not in Yongping Mansion, only a small department is stationed, and in Yongping Mansion, it is said that Min Zhuang, who is known as the Yongping New Army, is in charge of defense.

  Can Minzhuang play at such a level? Neither the Five Ministries of Neikarka nor the Horqin people believed it at all, and they also had great doubts about the intelligence of the Chahar people and the Jianzhou Jurchen.

  The armored cavalry raid of the Yehe tribe also proved that their intelligence was indeed unreliable.

  Such a powerful force sneaked into Yongping Mansion, and the Chahar people and Jianzhou Jurchen didn't know anything about it. How dare you say that you know everything about Da Zhou's external affairs?

"Let's talk about it, what should we do next?" Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu saw that the atmosphere in the tent was a bit dull and depressed, so he took the initiative to raise the topic. He has the strongest power, but as an elder, he is still a well-deserved coach.

  Everyone is silent.

   Retreat is impossible.

Such a loss can only be regarded as a small setback. Although the morale is damaged, it is mainly the Zarut department. Like the most powerful Hongjira and Uqiyet departments, there is no loss. The Bahrain department is also intact, and the Bayuete department has some However, most of the losses were intact, and the Horqin Department was not affected.

  If an expedition of this scale ends with such an anticlimactic outcome without any results, let alone the incident between the Chahar people and the Jianzhou Jurchen, even the people here will not be able to explain to the tribe.

   It cost countless food and money, and used so many manpower and animals. If there is no money and people to take it back, maybe the whole tribe will be discouraged. If you want to organize people and horses to go out in the future, you will never think about it.

"Actually, the Great Zhou is nothing more than a usual conspiracy. It is only because there is no defense on the Zarut side. You only need to re-campaign and take precautions. The Great Zhou army will not succeed so easily, and the Bahrain will be repelled. Is it a sneak attack by the Great Zhou Army?"

   It was Hong Guoer from the Horqin Department who spoke first, which made both Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu and Zaisai feel a little strange.

"Most of our main force has not been affected. Da Zhou's sneak attack in this way shows their inner weakness. There is no movement in Qian'an City. As long as Ye He's cavalry is on guard, they will not be allowed to come and go! "

  Although Hong Guoer's words sounded awkward, they were still encouraging after all, and the atmosphere in the tent was a little more lively.

   "Hong Guoer's words are correct. Da Zhou's strength in Yongping Prefecture is very weak. Lindan Batur's army has already broken through the upper reaches of the Yi River and defeated the Jizhen Army deployed in the Zhenluying area, and is advancing towards Pinggu."

Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu announced the news he had received. The central army of Chahar's main force marched slightly faster than the east-west army, and it was also the best in terms of combat effectiveness and organizational ability. It quickly broke through the side wall. He started a fierce battle with the Jizhen army.

   "Although we don't know what's going on in the west of the Waikha people, we can imagine that they won't return empty-handed. If we stop here, I'm afraid we will really become the biggest laughing stock on the grassland..."

   Zhuoli Ke Tuhun Batulu's words made everyone look embarrassed, and no one could accept such a result.

"Uncle is right. Although we have encountered a small setback, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Qian'an County is right in front of us. There are tens of thousands of wealthy Han people, wealth, treasures, women's silk tea, all waiting for us to harvest. They The defenders are only a few thousand strong. Judging from our previous offensive to fill up the moat, they have very few crossbows and no decent defensive facilities. As long as we work harder and go up the wall with all our strength, then victory will be For those that belong to us, I suggest that the first to enter the city can take half of the wealth and population in the city!"

  Zai Sai's words made the atmosphere in the tent suddenly much warmer.

This time I came here with the purpose of taking a lot from Dazhou. Twenty years ago, the Chahar people invaded the south and at least took away more than 30,000 people and countless wealth for the Chahar people. , It also made the strength of the Chahar people rise a lot at once.

  The saddle and leather armor skills of the Chahar people have improved a lot at once, and there are even seven or eight more blacksmith shops. This obvious change is what these grassland tribes are most envious of.

Seeing that Zai Sai had successfully boosted morale, Drake Tuhunbatulu also struck while the iron was hot: "I agree, the moat has already been filled in many places, we will stay here today, continue to increase our efforts, and start to attack the city tomorrow. My Uziyet Department has no hesitation and is willing to take the lead in the battle!"

  The attitude of Zhuoli Ke Tuhun Batulu made Wubu and Horqin people look sideways at him, and at the same time, they were a little moved.

After all, there are only a few thousand soldiers of the Yongping New Army in the city. This is an indisputable fact. Although the firecrackers are sharper, as long as they take the necessary protection and rush under the city wall to attack, the firecrackers can only become Fire stick.

And there are many disadvantages of firecrackers. The Mongols are not without firecrackers. The Chahar people even generously took out all kinds of firecrackers that Dazhou assisted them last year for use by various ministries, but after everyone tried it, they still felt It is cost-effective and appropriate to use bows and arrows, and it is far better than those three-eyed firecrackers in every aspect.

   "Okay, we Horqin people don't have any descendants. If Uziyet chooses the north gate to attack, we Horqin people will choose the east gate to fight!" Hong Guoer couldn't help but be moved.

  He is clear about the strength of the Uqiyet Department, and since Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu has expressed his opinion in front of so many people, he will not lose face and must go all out.

  The 10,000 elite middle cavalry of Uziyet's troops are only 3,000, and the remaining 7,000 are infantry.

"Since that's the case, our Hongji tribe will follow Uqiyet's tribe to attack the northern city. Seter, how about your Bahrain tribe follow Hongguoer to fight the east city?" Zaisai is not polite, "Bayuete's army is here The South City and the West City are being harassed so that they cannot fully respond to our attacks in the North City and the East City, Darkhan, is this okay?"

  Zai Sai's attitude made Seter and Darkhan a little dissatisfied, but the opponent was the strongest, and since he was willing to attack the city with all his strength, he naturally had no objections.

  ********

  Nurhachi moved his body, flew onto the horse, and the guards beside him hurriedly held the reins for him.

   "I'm not old yet." Nurhachi looked up to the west, his tone full of confidence, "Shuerhaqi has fled to Fushun with his people? How many days have you been walking?"

   "Back to the Great Khan, more than 2,000 people from Shuerhaqi's troops have all entered Fushun, and Li Yongfang has settled them all outside the city..."

"Daishan, go and inform the generals, and come to my account immediately. It's time to settle accounts with Shuerhaqi and Dazhou." Nurhachi took a deep breath, and turned his attention to himself, the most outstanding person at present. Although Jia's son, Chu Ying is the eldest son, he is too arrogant, which has also attracted some people's dissatisfaction, and needs to be beaten.

   "Father Khan, now?" Daishan quietly returned from Chahar.

   "It's now, let's go."

  Nurhachi raised his head proudly, trying his best to suppress the joy in his heart.

Li Yongfang's initiative to get close to him made him ecstatic. It is self-evident how important Fushun's geographical location in Liaodong Town is. It is directly on the waist of Jianzhou, and Li Yongfang is also a veteran of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though he was scheming, but this fellow seemed to get along well with Feng Tang, but unexpectedly, he would take the initiative to show kindness.

   It is still uncertain what kind of price the other party will ask, but it doesn't matter. As long as the other party is willing to surrender, Nurhachi is willing to agree to any conditions. That is the guard of Fushun.

  But Nurhachi judged that the opponent would not make any false surrenders.

  With Li Yongfang's status, there is absolutely no need for him to make a false surrender, and he is not a direct descendant of Feng Tang, and Feng Tang does not have the guts to make Li Yongfang make a false surrender.

He didn't expect that Li Yongfang would be so optimistic about his side. Perhaps Feng Tang wanted to further cleanse the people left behind by Li Chengliang, but according to his understanding, Li Yongfang was not Li Chengliang's direct descendants, even Juniper and Zhao led the way. Feng Tang had recruited all the teachers, so Li Yongfang had no reason to bet on her side.

  Nurhachi's recruitment of Li Yongfang was originally an inertial action. He would spare no effort to offer extremely high conditions to every side general in Dazhou.

   This is a kind of temptation. As long as the other party shows signs of hesitation, this is a good sign, which means that the other party's determination is not firm, and there is a possibility of continuing to win over.

  For Jianzhou Jurchen, fur, gold sand, and ginseng are all in the wild. What Jianzhou lacks is the population, and what is lacking is the young Han who can farm and produce.

  As long as one member is bought and brought in, it means that at least hundreds of thousands of people may belong to Jianzhou, and its value is simply not comparable to that of a few fur ginseng.

  As for the land, mountains and forests, there are everywhere outside the customs. For Jianzhou at this stage, these are all benefits without cost. As long as those Han adults are willing to come to cultivate, they will not pay taxes for three to five years, and Nurhachi is willing.

  As long as they come, it will be difficult to leave in the future. Shouldn't they be flat or round by then?

  Thinking of this, Nurhachi became more and more determined to attack Li Yongfang. In any case, this is the best start. As long as Li Yongfang is taken down, it will be of great significance, even worth 10,000 troops!
