Chapter 403: Wu Sangui
The long-legged general Wu Xiang lost his headquarters a few months ago due to the defeat of Changshan, and fled back to Jinzhou with only a few dozen families and more than 200 cavalry, and was convicted.
Fortunately, his son Wu Sangui performed prominently under the city of Jinzhou, and he still fought to the death when his nose was slashed by a Tartar, not only saving his father but also getting dozens of Tartar heads.
The emperor admired Wu Sangui's filial piety, so he did not arrest Wu Xiang and kill him.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the troops lost their own still alive chief officers, and most of them ended badly.
Emperor Chongzhen basically took the style of killing him, the relationship network between the chief military officer and the king and servant in Shanxi was complicated, and the strength of the consortium that supported him was inevitable Chongzhen's butcher's knife, Zu Kuan was able to conquer the habitual war, and the force value was bursting, and the army was also beheaded by Chongzhen for the crime of losing the feudal domain.
In fact, Chongzhen's ruling is a bit inexplicable, giving people the feeling that those who should not be killed are killed, and those who deserve to die are living well.
Zhang Xianzhong, who shouldn't have let go, actually gave him the opportunity to surrender and re-sentence again and again, you must know that the thief broke the Zhongdu Fengyang and dug up the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family! It is completely possible to leave Sun Yuanhua alive, after all, he refused to defect after being captured, but unfortunately he was killed by the cold Chongzhen.
All in all, Chongzhen, the emperor, is unreliable, handles major affairs inexplicably, and gives people a nervous feeling.
This time, the emperor was really merciful and gave Wu Sangui a promotion of one level, and only gave Wu Xiang the punishment of dismissal.
Chongzhen began to cultivate a big traitor who buried the Han people, and Wu Sangui in history was also the only life-saving straw that Chongzhen was looking forward to at the most critical moment, and Wu Sangui received the holy decree and did not move back to the capital for a long time, just to wait for the price to sell.
Now I am afraid that it will not be Wu Sangui's turn to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, because from now on Ningyuan is the base where Huang Han will never give up, and the control of Shanhaiguan within three years is already being planned.
Wu Xiang is not good at fighting, but he can be the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, naturally he has his uniqueness, he is actually a figure with hands and eyes in Liaodong.
In addition to being inferior to Zu Dashou in the war, he is stronger than Zu Dashou in other aspects, Zu Dashou surrendered in history, and he is a repeated villain who surrendered twice, Wu Sangui is a big traitor who is spurned by everyone.
But Wu Xiang did not lose his temperament, he never surrendered to Jiannu, and later did not surrender to the thief, and the final ending was that he was cut off by the old embarrassed and angry wedding dress king Li Duyan.
For Wu Xiang, the days of not being an official and being a rich idler are really not enjoyable, so he used his connections to dredge up for himself.
The adults in the court gave a clear answer, the emperor had long forgotten that he had abandoned Zhang Chun and fled, and now as long as he took his son to take the initiative to attack Jiannu and cut dozens of levels, the official would be reinstated.
Wu Xiang has the position of a chief military officer, and with soldiers and horses in hand, he can not only eat empty salaries, but also do business much easier.
The Wu family trafficked a large amount of ironware, tea, salt, silk, cotton cloth, etc. into the steppe to trade with the Mongols, in exchange for horses, cattle and sheep, furs, gold and silver, and the profits were doubled or several times.
In addition to the benefits of giving Zu Dashou up and down, the Wu family's profit is more than 100,000 taels of silver every year.
In order to be able to become an official again, Wu Xiang really worked hard.
Wu Sangui led three or four hundred ironclad family members to go out of Jinzhou many times to find opportunities to attack Jiannu, but unfortunately his luck was a little worse.
On two occasions, after discovering the enemy, they rushed up and fought in groups, and they had to run desperately before they had time to harvest the heads, because the Jiannu reinforcements who got the news arrived immediately.
Wu Sangui is not a bad breed, it is possible that it is not yet the time for him to take good fortune, and there are casualties in the fight with Jiannu, and in the end, Jiannu has reinforcements to come, causing him to fall short.
Even so, when Sanguizi calmly retreated with the ironclad family, the Houjin army was unwilling to chase after him, and most of the Jiannu were actually masters who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and they cared too much about casualties.
took the initiative to attack a few times, and the Wu family's ironclad family killed dozens of people, and the number of Jiannu killed was also dozens of levels, but so far only the third level has been killed, and the other heads have not had time to harvest at all.
This is also the characteristic of Jiannu, if the Ming army kills someone and cuts off his head and escapes, often the Houjin army will be anxious and put on a desperate posture and bite hard.
Because Jiannu is very superstitious and believes that a dead corpse cannot be turned around and reincarnated, one of the reasons why many Jiannu are afraid of the "Red Banner Army" is that they are basically annihilated when they fight with the "Red Banner Army", and only a smooth headless corpse will be left on the battlefield.
The ironclad family who dares to fight is the capital of the Wu family, and they are equipped with these people, they eat and drink well all day long, and they are given a monthly salary of one stone of wheat and two taels of silver every month, and they are also rewarded every three or five times, and people eat horses and chew clothes for four seasons, and the Wu family will not spend less than one hundred taels of silver a year to raise a family.
Dozens of families died, and the pension to be given would cost thousands of taels of silver, and the cost of getting the third-level harvest was too high, and the shrewd businessman Wu Xiang thought that this business could not be done, and he had to change the way he played.
The professional counterpart is very important, the Wu family is very good at doing business, and it is obviously not possible to cut off the head of Jiannu, so he made up his mind to find the help of the "Red Flag Army", a professional household of Jiannu, and he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the head of the Houjin Army with a money rat tail.
Wu Xiang's father and son ordered a hundred general ironclad Ding to gallop to visit Huangyizhou, and he even fantasized that he might be able to meet General Pingliao for an interview.
The "Red Banner Army" operated the Liaoning West Corridor and adopted a decree that it was allowed to enter and not to leave, and the materials transported by the imperial court out of the Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou were now contracted by the "Red Banner Army".
Originally, how much cost should be paid for Jinzhou to get military rations and military supplies, but now as long as those losses and strength money are given to the "Red Banner Army", the Jinzhou defenders can get the materials given by the imperial court as quickly as possible.
Because the "Red Flag Army" does not need to go through the western Liaoning corridor for land transportation at all, it can be directly transported by ship from Tianjin Wei and Tiger's Den City to the wharf close to Jinzhou, and then pay the money to hire Jinzhou soldiers and civilians to carry it to the seaside.
In the future, the blockade of the Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan section of the Liaoning West Corridor will be implemented, and there will be no idle people except for the "Red Banner Army" and the Qiantun Guard Army.
If it grows to 100,000 households, there will be at least 100,000 guards, all of whom will have spears and will be able to participate in holding the fort and the Ningyuan defensive line.
Their children will be organized to pick up red tassel guns and stand guard, and those who are found to be outsiders will be interrogated and charged to the small flag officer and the chief flag officer.
The blockade of the western Liaoning corridor began in the spring of the fifth year of Chongzhen, and the imperial court sent troops out of Shanhaiguan naturally by official roads, and there were only official roads to go, and even a few camping "Red Flag Army" had been stipulated.
This is completely to prevent the Ming army from disturbing the people, and when marching, there will be a "Red Banner Army" to supervise openly and secretly, and if the Ming army deviates from the official road, it will be arrested or even killed.
