Seeing Zhu Cihong's decision, a word popped up in Li Dingguo's heart: Be honored!

It was a great moment, a young genius commander made a brave choice to live up to expectations! At this moment, a sentence quietly popped up in Li Dingguo's heart: Those who are confidants die for them. He, Li Dingguo, must use all his talents in this life to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to accomplish such a great cause!

Thousands of miles to the north, smashing the thief's nest.

Seal the wolf Juxu and go on an expedition to Shengjing!

When the military meeting in Yiju ended, everyone in the conference room dispersed, and when they walked out of the door, I don't know who was suddenly surprised: "It's clear." ”

Li Dingguo looked at the sky and smiled slightly: "Then let us go all out!" ”

After saying this, Li Dingguo fell into the military rations battle. Since it was an expeditionary raid, it was obvious that the army could not rely on the carts to move north slowly, waiting for the slower army food and baggage teams. If it was an ordinary march and military stations were established along the way, I am afraid that after Zhu Cihong entered Liaodi, the Manchu army would have made all the preparations. In this way, it will not be able to achieve the effect of the raid, and it may even be blocked in the road.

Therefore, such an expedition requires all the military rations to be prepared at once.

To this end, the Military Aircraft Department requisitioned all the horses from all over the DPRK, and asked the officials of Uiju to cooperate in organizing the people of Uiju to start making marching rations.

Since it is a march ration, of course, it is not enough to prepare firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and dried meat on the road. Where there are no full-fledged barracks in the field, there is not even room for these things to be played. Even, it is impossible to set aside an hour for chopping firewood and cooking for cooking in a hurry and in an emergency.

Let's talk about it. The Military Aircraft Department decided to find the old wisdom, and finally chose to learn from Grandpa Qi: making light cakes.

Reportedly. During the Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang led his troops into Fujian to fight against the Japanese invaders, and of course there was no way to bury the pot and cook during the march. Meals can only be cooked in advance for wartime. As for the goal, after thinking about it, eventually the soldiers of the Qi family army from the north began to make homemade northern baked cakes as dry food. Slowly, the soldiers found that although baked cakes could satisfy hunger, eating too much food was easy to catch fire and was not easy to digest, which affected their combat effectiveness. Later, it was improved by adding salt to the dough to increase the taste. Adding alkali can help digestion, and patting sesame seeds can moisten the stomach and intestines, and can remove dryness. The improved baked cake is golden and pleasing to the eye, crispy and palatable, leaving a hole in the middle and can be hung on the body for easy carrying, many conveniences, which solved the logistics and food problems of the Qi family army, and became a famous light cake later.

For the Military Aircraft Service, there is a goal. Of course, you can't draw a gourd the same way.

Soon, the Military Aircraft Division began to discuss how to make the best military rations for the expeditionary corps.

Just being able to string it together and make it easy to carry is just a reason to get started, wanting to ensure the physical strength of the army and maintain the combat effectiveness of the army to the greatest extent. The military rations are obviously very particular. The improved salt, alkali and sesame seeds were used in military supplies.

Considering the difficulty of entering the follow-up of a supply, it is obvious that the cake alone cannot be as tasteful as a snack. So the Military Aircraft Department made the light cake dry and hard, enough to last for a week. Meantime. In addition to adding salt, alkali and sesame seeds, the process of making the light cake is carried out. Add stir-fried sauce and pickles to provide nutrients. And both of these are preservatives that can be eaten for a long time.

After solving the recipe and goals, the subsequent organization and implementation were much smoother. Under the efficient organizational capabilities of the Military Aircraft Department. Thousands of North Korean women happily found themselves in a part-time job: making light cakes for the Ming Heavenly Soldiers.

For a while, the whole city of Uiju was filled with the smell of making light cakes.

On September 23, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, only three days after the decision to go on an expedition, the Military Aircraft Department prepared all the military rations needed by the expeditionary corps.

On this day, the weather was a little gloomy and unspeakably depressing. However, when the expeditionary corps of the Royal Guards and the combined Japanese and Korean forces marched out of the city, the weather began to turn clear.

Here, all the elite troops in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Kingdom were gathered.

Xu Wen had already led an advance group consisting of marines, Japanese mercenaries, and the Korean Lin Qingye Department out of the city three days ahead of the other troops. Xu Wen is a marine, and Matsui Matsui's Japanese mercenaries are also proficient in water. As for Lin Qingye, his last position was the commander of the North Korean naval army, and the elites under his hands were all amphibious elite soldiers.

So today, the first to go out of the city was the 1st Regiment of the Royal Guards Regiment of Hu Dawei, who quickly recovered from the losses after the war, and replenished the new recruits who came from the follow-up, and they were full of vitality and energy.

The first regiment was followed by the battalions directly under the Royal Guards. Including the Flying Bear Battalion of Xu Yanqi's Division, the Independent Cavalry Battalion of Liu Zhen's Division, as well as the Military Hospital, Military Aircraft Department, and Baggage Battalion. It is worth mentioning that Liu Quan threw everything at hand to his deputy, and he selected a soldier who was also skilled in firearms and artillery and insisted on following the army.

Zhu Cihong thought about it for a while, and couldn't bear Liu Quan's several pleas, so he agreed.

In this way, the expeditionary corps, which gathered three battalions with a total of 10,000 people, prepared to gather and be inspected by the crown prince at the Changting Pavilion outside the city of Uiju.

At this time, on the surging Yalu River, the engineer battalion of the baggage battalion was in full swing to inspect the final improvement of the pontoon bridge.

The carpenter of the baggage camp found Gumu-ri, the narrowest part of the Yalu River. Under the hard work of the soldiers of the baggage battalion, they began to build long before Zhu Cihong decided to go to war. Eventually, the pontoon bridge from Uiju to the village of Bird's Nest opposite Liaodong was built, and in order to build the pontoon bridge, Ann carpenter built a total of 6 piers, which were made of 10 to 30 cm thick logs, each pier was made of 26 logs, 5 horizontal rows, 3 longitudinal rows, and 2 left and right bridges, and each pier was reinforced by stone piles under it. Let people walk on the pontoon bridge as if it were a solid iron bridge.

The entire pontoon bridge is a mile long and one zhang wide.

When the army arrived at the pontoon bridge and began to cross the river, the advance regiment began to enter Jiulian City at this moment.

Jiulian City is a famous city in Liaodong, which was originally an important military base of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. But at this moment, Jiulian City has fallen into the hands of Jiannu and has become a camp of Liaodong Jurchens. Since Phi Dao Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan, Dongjiang Town has declined. There has been no military threat here for several years. As for North Korea, which was once an enemy in the east, facing the weak North Koreans. The Qing people have the same condescension as the Ming people.

In the current Jiulian City, it is only a slightly larger Manchurian village compared to other places. It is no different from the other villages scattered in the expanding Liaodong Plain. It's just that, compared to the county capital of the Ming Kingdom, Zhou Province, Manchuria is implementing cattle recording.

Relying on the captured Koreans, Han Chinese, and even Mongol serfs, the Jurchens maintained their status as landlords and devoted all their energy to archery. In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, almost every Jurchen was required to grow up to be a warrior.

Only by becoming a warrior with a good bow and horse can you make a difference in the Qing Kingdom. For example, he entered the Ming Kingdom and captured countless men there as slaves. Hold countless women as their own servants to vent on.

For the Jurchens in Jiulian City, there are almost no Han people, but they have made more achievements in conquering Korea several times or following the army into Korea to defend it, and brought back a lot of Korean slaves and maids. Bingzi messed with the two wars and didn't say anything, but he could be plundered at will when he went to North Korea with the keel, as long as he didn't target the wealthy families there, the North Koreans didn't even dare to say a word.

In this way, every year the dragon bones and Chahara maintain these three thousand men and horses each.

It's a pity that in this way, the 6,000 pure Jurchen army was defeated by the Ming army in the Shali Courtyard of Huangzhou.

After this news reached Jiulian City. All the Jurchens panicked.

Countless Jurchen old and weak gathered in Jiulian City to discuss countermeasures, and finally all Jurchens gathered in Jiulian City according to their respective Niu Lu, inlaid with blue flags, Lazhang, Jingjing Guji.

Jing Guji is a cautious veteran who retreats to the village to recuperate because of the wounded. Therefore, this is why it is Keel Da and Chahara who are stationed in North Korea instead of him. Huang Taiji prefers enterprising people.

This time, Jing Guji was no longer cautious. He glanced at the eyes of the leaders in the various cattle records, and sighed helplessly.

Here, there is not even a cow record chapter in Kyoto. Of course, it's not that there are so many Niu Lu here, and there is no Niu Lu Zhangjing. But at this moment, the military chiefs of these villages have already made an expedition to Korea and are buried on Korean soil.

Hwangju Sariwon is located in the central region of North Korea. Across the Jiulian City, there is not only a big river, but also countless Koreans who are angry with the Qing people. Lonely North Koreans are left alone on the hills and on the grass. Otherwise, the North Koreans on the road will be beaten to death.

There were not enough military cadres, so they could only rely on these old veterans to lead the twelve or thirteen-year-old children in the cattle records to organize themselves, scavenge all the armor at home, and even pick up the hoes used by the serfs, and retreated into Jiulian City one after another.

In this context, Xu Wen's advance group came to Jiulian City.

Xu Wen looked at the sky and determined the time with the military advisors beside him.

"September 24th, the hour of the hour." Xu Wen held his breath slightly, and made a decision: "Order all departments to attack Jiulian City!" ”

The war has begun!

At this time, an asymmetrical siege battle.

Although Jiulian City is a city, after being abandoned for several years, the function of defending the city has long been lost. After Xu Wen, the leader of the team, gave the order to attack, sixty grenadiers ran quickly and accelerated, throwing more than 100 earth-shattering thunderbolts into the city. At the same time, Matsui Masayuki and the others rushed up with simple ladders one by one.

After the earth-shattering thunder started, the ladder was almost erected by colleagues. Another time, Lin Qingye shouted jerky Chinese, and led three hundred North Korean veterans to pick up longbows and stare at the Jurchen soldiers outcropping in the city to shoot.

The screams came and went, but almost all of them rang out in the city. After the Earthquake Thunder took effect, almost no one in the city had time to reorganize its defenses.

At this moment, the Japanese samurai rushed forward brandishing their swords.

"Yahi should be!"

……

There was a cheer, and the walls fell immediately.

The soldiers of the advance regiment quickly understood what their so-called asymmetric warfare was, and there were very few men in the prime of life in the city.

There were thousands of people in the city, but there were only a hundred strong men.

Now in a collision, most of them died in the aftermath of the earth-shattering thunder, and even if they reacted, it was difficult to survive under the swords of the Japanese samurai.

Without these strong warriors, the resistance in the city would be tragic and fragile.

One by one, the old Jurchen old men picked up their longbows, and most of them only sent an extremely accurate arrow to the throat of the enemy army and lost the strength to fight again, and even more, in the face of the enemy army that came in formation, they could only hide in the streets and alleys.

A quarter of an hour later, there was no longer the strength to continue to resist in the Nine Links City.

At this point, the advance group withdrew from the city and cheered.

After the cheers of victory, the whole city seemed like hell on earth, dead and silent.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong's expeditionary force crossed the Yalu River in a mighty way, and Zhu Cihong rode his horse to take a look at Jiulian City.

After a while, Zhu Cihong said: "Let's prevent fire, don't stay in these nine cities." ”

The fire was ignited, and the screams of immaturity continued to be heard in the silence of the city. Not long after, more than a dozen children and teenagers with money rat tails rushed out.

Zhu Cihong resolutely made a downward cutting gesture.

Hu Bo, the accompanying doctor, showed a little unbearable: "Your Highness......"

Zhu Cihong sighed slightly and said, "I only thought about how many young men of the Han family were killed by their fathers. Besides, if I don't kill them, how many Han compatriots will they kill when these children whose whole families were killed by my revenge division grow up? Unless the Jiannu country is destroyed and its army is completely overthrown, I am qualified to be a little more unbearable and exile them to the bitter cold, not subject to sword soldiers. ”

Liu Zhen silently received the order, and hundreds of horses rushed out.

A quarter of an hour later, the army continued north.

After the fire, there was no sound in Jiulian City.

September in Phoenix is gloomy, as if it's the twenty-fifth day of the month.

All along, the blue flag armor Lazhang Jinggul Zhanga has been a tolerant and generous person. But he always felt that at the end of every month, especially on the twenty-fifth day, God had never forgiven him, and he had encountered many hardships.

Every month, he could feel dislike on this day, but only on this day did such dislike turn into sorrow and anger.

"Tens of thousands of fellow clansmen in Jiulian City were killed by the Han Chinese! The Great Han killed the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, but the prince of the Ming Kingdom crossed the river from North Korea and entered the Jiulian City! Now, I'm afraid I'm going to enter Phoenix City too......"

Phoenix City is the right guard of Dingliao for the title of the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that at this moment, it has become the station of the blue flag armor Lazhang Jinggul Zhang'a.

He received the information in time, but he was not prepared to resist.

Because......

Shortly after he received the information, a shout of killing rang out.

Phoenix, whose city had been demolished, could not even resist when a passionate charge was heard.

"Go and spread the news to the big man!" Guljana shouted.

He wouldn't know that it had become an undesirable thought. (To be continued.) )
