Chapter 345: The fire of gossip is burning
Chen Xin didn't say anything, nor did he help, just silently watched all this happen.
From Su Zhuang's expectant smiling face, he felt the other party's inner peace and yearning for death.
After a pause, Chen Xin immediately cleaned up his mood, now, time is not so abundant, and it is already the limit to insist on letting Su Zhuang fulfill his last wish just now, so he immediately began to issue various orders.
"The first detachment leads the way, and the search advances."
"The rest of the third and fourth detachments, quickly clean up the battlefield, don't care about the trophies or anything, take away all the wounded and martyrs of our army and friendly troops, and if there are not enough war horses, report to the second detachment for statistics."
"Second detachment, your task is to go to the surrounding small camps to make up for the shortage of war horses, and we can't let any martyr, or the wounded, stay and be ruined by the enemy."
"Gadame, are you with me?"
Gadami agreed without thinking, "Of course." And, this time, he spoke with the honorific "You have the final say." ”
Chen Xin didn't care about the change in the other party's tone, smiled at the other party, and then asked the adjutant beside him, "Do you know where the ancient battlefield of the Hunhe bloody battle was back then?" ”
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, my information doesn't have specific coordinates in this regard, now, I can only guess from the place name, it's on the edge of the Hunhe River, if you need to know more detailed information, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until you return to China, or wait until the heavy snow stops."
Chen Xin nodded to show understanding, after all, it was a big war ten years ago, how long had he only been founded, and there was no record of this, it was normal, and after a little muttering, Chen Xin continued to ask, "Here, how far is it from the Hunhe River?" ”
The adjutant opened the map, found his own coordinates and the identification of the Hunhe River, and after a little conversion of the scale, he gave a rough answer: "At least 50 kilometers." ”
"50 km!" Chen Xin muttered and repeated, regretfully, "Now, it's not under our control!" ”
"Yes, your lordship, the Hunhe River is not under the control of our army for the time being, and the water in the lower reaches of the Hunhe River is not sufficient, and the navy cannot rely on this river for water assaults, so in a short time, we will not be able to get close there." The adjutant obviously understood what his lord wanted to do, so he had something to say in his words, and he vaguely comforted him.
The corners of Chen Xin's mouth grinned, and he whispered, "Don't worry." ”
Then, he silently added a sentence that would never be said on the psychological side: "I won't do it again, this is the last time." ”
At this time, there was a commotion from the fifth detachment, which had been guarding the side and had never left half a step.
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, we have caught a few Houjin officials who are still hiding in the stables and have not moved."
"Oh?" Chen Xin was surprised, the decisive assault just now should be an operation by the guards around Huang Taiji, who wanted to desperately open a passage and escort Huang Taiji's escape.
Generally speaking, this kind of operation should be to send out all the forces that can be used, and complete it at once with the greatest strength, why is it that the enemy has been searched out of the stables now?
"Bring it on." Chen Xin decided to see who it was, who was able to follow Huang Taiji at night, but was abandoned during the assault.
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe with a long beard was escorted to Chen Xin's war horse.
On the way to escort him, he kept begging the two non-commissioned officers behind him, "Two of you raise your noble hands, please loosen up, the old man is really uncomfortable, and look at me as a scholar, I can't resist it." ”
It's a pity that the non-commissioned officers are all veterans and pay the most attention to the rules, and besides, this person still has to be sent to Chen Xin, and there must be no mistakes, so they didn't pay attention to this person's pleas.
Chen Xin tilted his head and looked at the other party's appearance, but he really couldn't remember that there was such a person in the intelligence of the National Security Council, so he could only ask, "Who are you?" can actually hide with Huang Taiji! ”
Facing Chen Xin's question, the other party lowered his head with a wry smile and replied respectfully, "King Mingjian, the junior minister's surname is Fan, his name is Wencheng, and the cursive character Xiandou." ”
Chen Xin felt that this name was very familiar, but he was sure that there was no name of this person in the list of post-Jin Chongchen compiled by intelligence, so where did this familiarity come from?
Chen Xin searched hard for the memories in his mind, and what could make him feel familiar was the important person mentioned in the history books, but how could this kind of character not be valued by the spies lurking in the Later Jin Dynasty?
Suddenly, in a flash of inspiration, Chen Xin remembered who this person was.
In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli (1597), Fan Wencheng was born, a young man who was studious, smart and agile, at the age of 18, he and his brother Fan Wenyu were both students in Shenyang County, and those who could act as students in the county school generally had their own advantages, and Fan Wencheng's early years were not mentioned in the book.
However, in the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618) Fan Wencheng's fate changed completely, and after that year, the Jin Eight Banner Army conquered Fushun, Fan Wencheng and his brother Fan Wenyu took the initiative to ask to see Nurhachi, and surrendered to the Houjin Tartars, but unfortunately, Nurhachi was a racist and looked down on hundreds of Han people, and Fan Wencheng was not reused.
However, he took the initiative to take refuge, and he was still a scholar, and Nurhachi was not too lenient, which chilled the hearts of those who took the initiative to surrender, so he was arranged to be a Zhang Jing.
This was done for many years, until Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he immediately took refuge in the past, and was admitted to the library by Huang Taiji and became a study official, but although this position is close to Huang Taiji, there is no official title.
In the third year of Huang Taiji's succession, he led more than 50,000 Manchurian and Mongolian armies to attack the Ming Dynasty, broke into the Seinai from the Xifeng Pass, entered the Jimen, and conquered Zunhua.
Although Fan Wencheng was a Confucian student, he was not small, and he dared to go out with the army.
Fan Wencheng relied on the advantage of his tongue, and under the deterrence of the Houjin army, he appeased a total of five cities: Panjiakou, Malanyu, Shantunying, Malanguan, and Daankou.
On November 11, Huang Taiji led the army to attack Beijing, leaving the staff generals Ying Erdai, the guerrilla Li Sizhong and Wen Cheng and eight men to prepare for the garrison, leading 800 troops and garrisoning Zunhua. Because of his outstanding military exploits, Fan Wencheng was awarded the post of guerrilla.
Just this year, Huang Taiji attacked the Ming Dynasty again, and led an army of 780,000 to besiege Dalinghe City. During this period, Fan Wencheng was ordered by Huang Taiji to go to the mountain west of Dalinghe City to persuade him to surrender a fort.
The Ming army of the dungeon fort was in danger of defending, and when he got there, he turned on the mouth cannon mode again and flickered, so that the defenders surrendered to Houjin, which had a total of one student, seventy-two men, seventeen women, as well as two horses, twenty-four oxen, and twenty-one donkeys, Huang Taiji immediately rewarded these people and materials to Fan Wencheng.
Chen Xin thought about it, and his thinking deviated again, as if in the original history, after Fan Wencheng was later entrusted by Huang Taiji with an important task and acted as the pillar of Houjin's resourcefulness, his wife was robbed by which Houjin's Baylor.
Chen Xin's gossip fire was burning, and he thought unscrupulously, "Fan Wencheng's wife was robbed now, has it happened?" ”
