Chapter 174: Liaohe Ambush (I)
Hanjiawan, a little-known place name, is located between Dongsheng Fort and Changning Fort, where the Liao River is a little wider, but also a little shallower.
Dongshengbao, Mingzhi, belongs to Haizhou Wei, is located in the northwest of Haicheng City, Liaoning Province, Kaihe City; Changning Fort, Mingzhi, belongs to Liaoyang direct management, in the later generations of Liaoyang County, Liaoning southwest Tangmazhai Town.
In other words, this place is either the northern edge of the high-pragmatism jurisdiction, or it is simply not under the jurisdiction of the high-pragmatism.
Since it is a "bay", the speed of the river is also somewhat lower than in other places, and it is considered a good place to cross the river on a raft.
On the night of September 11, Tumen and Fried Flowers held a wine party in Daying, which is said to be to celebrate the birth of a big fat boy by one of the Hatun of Tumen Great Khanβthe news that the fleeing Han people brought back.
Gao Pragmatic laughed after learning the news in the water village, and ordered left and right in front of the fleeing Han people: "Although Tumen and fried flowers are set up for wine, they may not take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. β
Then he waved his hand and asked the fleeing Han people to go down, and instructed his subordinates to prepare a hot meal for them as a token of gratitude.
After a few people went down, they quickly ate their meals, and the people in Shuizhai were very relieved of them Han people, and they didn't arrange for anyone to watch from the side.
Several people carefully observed for a while, and one of them put away the cautious appearance of the old man who saw the official before, and said with a slight change in his face: "Things seem to be a little wrong, just now this person called himself 'Bendao', could it be that the six champions of Annan and Dingbei are Gao Qiuzhen?" β
The other person was also a little worried: "Apart from him, who else in southern Liaoning will call himself Bendao?" It must be him, the question is when did he come to the Sancha River? β
Another person said: "It doesn't matter when he came, the left and right Sanchahe wharves are his property inside and out, and it is not surprising that he came to see it, our trouble now is how to send the news back." β
The man who spoke at the beginning smiled and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to send it back, haven't you seen it, these Ming soldiers and family members are defenseless against us, and Gao Qiuzhen is too careful, and he is actually worried that the Great Khan and the Fried Flower Taiji will forcibly cross the river to attack him, it's a joke...... Later, the Ming army will start to go out of the river to investigate according to Gao Qiuzhen's arrangement, and the big camp will definitely move, so we will take the opportunity to sneak out at that time. β
"That's right...... But this high-minded and huge name, how can it look like an embroidered pillow, and suddenly hit the scheme? This champion is not very good! β
"Fuck the champion of the princess, the champion is not reading military books, they are reading some big truths, all of them are bullshit, if you really want to do things, you might as well be some masters, don't you know?"
"Justified, justified. But when we came over, it was sent by Jinghua's ship, what should we do when we go back? β
"Wealth is in danger! It's only autumn now, although the water of the Liao River is also a little cold, but it is not enough to freeze to death a few of us, as long as we swim over and relay the news of this old man's arrival at the Sancha River Wharf and the order he just gave to the Great Khan and the fried flower Taiji, will we have all the glory and wealth in this life? β
"That's the same, being frozen once is considered an egg ball, and the days when you are so poor that you wipe the cloth in your pocket, which winter will not be frozen? If you are frozen once, you can change a lifetime of wealth, how can this transaction be cost-effective? β
"I am rich or something, I advise you not to think too beautifully, what kind of life the Mongols themselves lived, haven't you seen it? I couldn't look at it. We can pass these two news back this time, of course, it is a great achievement, but I think that I may not be able to be a human being, the great thing is that the daughter-in-law will not be bullied casually, and then I can more or less reward some cattle and sheep or something, it will be about the same. β
"That's better than it is now! What's the matter, do you not like to do it or what? β
"Okay, okay, you both shut up, what are you talking about? It's all on this, and you're still arguing? Do things with peace of mind, there are always only good things, not bad things! β
The person who said this seemed to have a bit of prestige, and when he glared at him like this, the two of them didn't talk back. The man breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Now hurry up and eat, eat enough, and it won't be so cold later." β
About half an hour later, Gao Pragmatic stood by the window on the second floor of the small building in the river port and stood with his hands in his hands, and a family member walked quickly to his door, knocked lightly on the door, and said: "Master, those people really ran away, and after walking two miles upstream, they jumped into the river and swam to the other side. β
Gao pragmatic let out a calm "um", and only said after a while: "Did the disguised gunboat go out?" β
"I have already gone out of the river to 'patrol' according to the master's orders, they all know the task, and they will not get too close to the other side, and the Tartars will definitely not be able to see it."
Gao pragmatic asked again: "What about Ma Shenrong?" Did you have time to get to Hanjiawan? β
The family hesitated for a moment before replying: "The master allowed him to use the Niuzhuang stagecoach, and now the horse is already a configuration of one person and three horses, so he should be able to catch up, but these are postcoaches after all, according to the regulations of the imperial court......"
Gao pragmatic waved his hand: "How can I keep so many rules and regulations when I fight, even if someone wants to impeach me, it must be useful under the premise that I am defeated, as long as I win, let alone use some stagecoaches, even if I transfer all the military horses of the Yuanma Temple in Liaodong to Ma Chongzhai?" β
Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, he didn't dare to say more, and asked Gao Pragmatic if he had any other instructions, and when he saw Gao Pragmatic shaking his head, he retreated first.
It turned out that although Ma Dong had been in Dongchangbao according to Ma Fang's intentions, when Gao pragmatically judged that the expected crossing location of Tumen and Fried Flower was between Dongshengbao and Changning Fort further upstream, he considered transferring Ma Dong over - this was to let Ma Dong share his military merits, and secondly, to see Ma Dong's actual combat level.
After all, it is the object of key training, and it can't just be kept in the greenhouse, the military generals are not as good as civilian officials, and they must always fight a few big battles seriously to have real prestige.
Like his father, Ma Fang.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic not only gave him the permission to use the stagecoaches of Niuzhuang Horse Station, but also transferred some of the insufficient horses from the spare horses of the Gao family rider to help him make up for it, so that he could catch up with the battle of Hanjiawan.
Ma Dong, Ma Chengen, and Zhang Wanbang, the three Xuanda generals who were transferred to southern Liaoning by themselves, must make some credit in this battle, so that they can be promoted and reused in the future...... After all, according to the meaning revealed by Zhu Yijun, his promotion in Liaodong should be quite fast, but it doesn't seem to stay too long, maybe only about three years, if they want to promote a few generals in such a tight time, they can't do it if they don't have strong merit under their hands.
