In June 1630, Shenyang, Liaodong, was also as hot as Guannai. Huang Taiji originally led his troops into the customs for the first time, and the soldiers forced to the city of Beijing, and returned to Shenyang outside the customs with countless booty.

When I returned to Shenyang, I learned that Gaizhou, Haizhou, and Anshan had been looted, and Qiding had lost more than 10,000 people. When Huang Taiji heard this, his eyes turned black and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

There are only a few flags in the Jurchens, and there are more than 10,000 at once. More than 2,000 soldiers died in the forehead alone, and the rest were men, women, and children. How can the Jurchens withstand such a toss, they have fought with the Ming army for so many years, and only how many people have died.

Huang Taiji was immediately furious, and immediately summoned the Liaoyang guard general to inquire about the details. Only after this question did I know that it was Dongjiang Town who took advantage of the main force of Houjin to enter the customs and stabbed them in the back of the waist.

Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong died, Dongjiang Town did not fall into chaos, and he was able to gather troops to go ashore to attack southern Liaoning. Huang Taiji did not blame the Liaoyang guards. When encountering such a thing, the first thing to be responsible for is that he did not arrange the defense of southern Liaoning before leaving, and he deployed less than 1,000 soldiers in Gaizhou, Haizhou, Liaoyang and Anshan.

It's just that heavy troops were deployed in Shenyang, and the power of Allah was placed on the front line of Ningjin to defend against the Guanning Iron Cavalry. He still underestimated Dongjiang Town. He calmed down while he was angry, it seems that Dongjiang still has to be eliminated.

But when they attacked Dongjiang Town, they first had to solve the problem of warships. The Jurchens were mainly cavalrymen, and they did not know how to build ships or sailors who were good at handling boats. Huang Taiji knew that these had to be considered in the long run, and it was not the best policy to rush to send troops. In the face of the tragic situation in Gaizhou and Haizhou, he had to be pacified first, and a large number of people and animals were allocated to move to the area of Gaizhou and Haizhou.

Now the shape shì is still more beneficial to Hou Jin, according to Beijing's informant, Chongzhen has already murdered Yuan Chonghuan. As soon as Yuan Chonghuan died, the Guanning army he built up single-handedly would inevitably be weakened, at least in the short term, and it would not be able to pose a threat to them. Although Dongjiang Town is troublesome, without Mao Wenlong, it will collapse sooner or later.

Moreover, at this time, Huang Taiji completely gained a foothold in the post-Jin regime, and his power was monstrous for a while. Since Huang Taiji carefully fabricated 16 charges and imprisoned Erbeile Amin, his power in the Eight Banners has been further enhanced, and now even Sanbeile Manggultai, who has always been at odds with him, does not dare to stab again.

Just when Huang Taiji was busy in Shenyang, another news came, which made Huang Taiji extremely angry. The Ningguta guard Sagar Eli reported that a group of pirates had come to the south of the Kalka Department in the East China Sea and had occupied Vladivostok for more than a year.

This group of pirates was extremely brutal, hundreds of surrounding tribes were slaughtered by them, and there were no chickens and dogs left within a radius of hundreds of miles, and they also took the opportunity to sneak attack Ningguta, and Sagari led hundreds of his soldiers to rush into battle.

But the pirates bought off the surrounding indigenous tribes and infiltrated Ningguta City in advance, catching them off guard. These pirates were armed with sharp firearms, and they were surrounded by thousands of natives to attack fiercely, and they held out for several days before finally breaking through. Hundreds of banners and armor soldiers in Ningguta City were wiped out, and this group of pirates slaughtered all the bannermen, young and old, and burned Ningguta City with fire, and then walked away.

Huang Taiji knew that this matter was serious, and immediately met with Sagar. It had been a few months since Saga Eli came to Shenyang, and Huang Taiji had been busy with the war at the customs, so he didn't have a chance to meet Huang Taiji until Huang Taiji returned from Shenyang.

When Sagari saw Huang Taiji, he immediately knelt down, buried his head deep in the ground, and said in a choked voice: "Great Khan, you must avenge the old and young masters of Ningguta, they died too miserably." ”

Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "You talk about those pirates first, what is going on with them?" ”

Sagari kept his head buried and said hatefully: "The place occupied by those pirates is Vladivostok, which is relatively remote in the East China Sea, and the minions have not found out. It wasn't until the Urgu tribe of the Kalkha tribe discovered them and clashed with them that these pirates took advantage of their firearms and slaughtered all the tribes within a radius of more than 100 miles of the Urgu tribe.

One of their tribesmen who had escaped carried a captured firearm, and last year I had someone report to the Great Khan with the Urgu tribesmen and the firearm, but I never received a reply. ”

Huang Taiji listened to Sagary's words, thought for a while, and vaguely seemed to have some impressions.

The big Belle Daishan next to him immediately said: "I also remember that there was such a thing, but after the firearm was handed over to the craftsman, I didn't figure it out, according to those Nikan craftsmen, this firearm came from the Western Franco, and even the best craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty couldn't make it, so we didn't take it seriously." At that time, we were busy with political affairs, so we never asked. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Since you have discovered the pirates, have you sent someone to investigate?" ”

The minions waited for the will of the Great Khan, but they still did not dare to relax on these pirate minions, and sent people to lurk in the pirates' garrison and investigate them. These pirates did not know where to recruit hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese Nikan, and they opened up a large number of wasteland there. Now it has opened up dozens of miles of wasteland to the north along the seashore. I knew that I was no match for them, and I had been guarding Ningguta, but they actually bought some tribes, blended into the city, and opened the gates at night, and we ...... Whining....... ”

Huang Taiji and the big Belle Daishan beside him, when they heard that there were more than 100,000 Han Nikans there by pirates, and they were still cultivating dozens of miles there, their eyes suddenly lit up.

They glanced at each other, and Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice, "You said that you sent someone to investigate those pirates, so what is their strength?" ”

When Sagari heard Huang Taiji's question, his heart suddenly sank. He remembered the iron birds that night, the monsters that ran like flying, and the blackened corpses of Ningguta, and he still had palpitations when he thought of it.

But his family can't just die in vain, and they must not let the Great Khan know the strength of those people in the Far East, if the Great Khan knows that those people are extremely strong, he will definitely not send troops to recruit them, then the blood feud of more than 1,000 old and young masters in Ningguta will never be avenged.

Thinking of this, Sagari buried his head and said, "Great Khan, the minions have sent people to probe them for several months, and they are extremely familiar with the terrain there. These pirates had more than 3,000 soldiers, all of whom were equipped with firearms and countless artillery, and their strength was comparable to that of the Guanning Ming Army. They also bought thousands of surrounding tribes to serve them, and their strength was very strong. But these pirates did not build forts, and they were not good at fighting in the mountains. ”

Huang Taiji listened to Sagari's words, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. The strength of nearly 10,000 people, although it is enough to dominate the tribes in the East China Sea, but Huang Taiji is not afraid, no matter how strong the firearms are, what is the use, as long as they do not rely on the advantages of firearms to defend the castle like the Ming Dynasty, if you want to fight a field war, look at the world who can beat their Jurchen iron cavalry.

Dai Shan smiled and said, "Eighth brother, these pirates can't stay, if they are allowed to gain a foothold in the East China Sea, they will become a big disaster in the future." Troops should have been sent to destroy them, and by the way, some disobedient tribes to the east of the Kalkha tribe should have been swept away. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, and then thought for a moment and said: "Let Lao Qi go, he went to Suifen Road a few years ago, and led troops with Fei Yingdong and An Feiyangu to capture the two places of Wuerguchen and Mu Ling of the East China Sea Woji Division. He knew the place there, and it was just right for him to go. ”

This old seventh is Nurhachi's seventh son Abatai, who is also a tiger general who has experienced a hundred battles and has outstanding achievements among the brothers of Huang Taiji, but he is not only from a partial family, but also brave and unscrupulous, and has never entered the core of the Houjin regime.

Huang Taiji turned his head and said to Sagari who was kneeling below: "Okay, I should have beheaded you." Now spare your life, I hope you will be able to atone, you will lead the way for the army, and lead the army to pacify the pirates. ”

Sagari was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground with a "bang".

"Thank you for the great khan's grace of not killing, the minions must lead the way for the army and assist the army in destroying those pirates."

Huang Taiji waved his hand and sent Sagari away. Then he turned to Dai Shan next to him and said, "As long as those pirates are destroyed, hundreds of thousands of Han people Nikanke will help us a lot, haha......"

Dai Shan also smiled and said: "Eighth brother, this time the loss of Gaizhou Haizhou Qiding is relatively large, by the way, move the tribes of those tribes in the east of the Woji Department, and merge them into the two white flags with heavier losses, and add more than 100,000 Han Nikan, and the loss of this Qiding can be filled." ”

Listening to Dai Shan's words, Huang Taiji's face became gloomy again, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang to die, and they actually dared to gather troops to attack, I was really angry." This time we must destroy the Dongjiang River, otherwise we will always have a thorn in our waist and eyes, and we will not be able to do anything we want to do in the future. ”

Dai Shan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Dongjiang River is not easy to fight, there are dozens of islands in the Dongjiang River, and hundreds of thousands of people are gathered." But our flag men are not good at handling ships, so we can't attack them. ”

Just when Huang Taiji and Dai Shan were worried about Dongjiang Town, a Tartar outside ran in and said a few words in Huang Taiji's ear. Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he heard this, patted the armrest of the chair, and laughed: "God really help me, haha......"

He turned his head and said excitedly to Dai Shan next to him: "It's really dozing off, someone will send a pillow!" Liu Xingzhi, the one we have been recruiting, sent a letter to say that he was willing to surrender to us. He now killed Chen Jisheng, the deputy chief soldier of Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty, and 21 officials of the Ming Dynasty, launched a mutiny, and took possession of Phi Dao alone. ”

Dai Shan was also very happy to hear this, but he thought for a moment and said, "It can't be Dongjiang Town's trick to surrender, we have to figure it out." ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "I have already been inquired, because his brother Liu Xingzuo died in battle and was martyred, and the court suspected that Liu Xingzuo faked his death and betrayed us without compensation, Liu Xingzhi has always been angry, so he was angry with Chen Jisheng, who was acting as the agent of the affairs of Phi Island, and deliberately did not report it. He usually doesn't get along with that Chen Jisheng, and this time it's true. ”R1152
