Chapter 31: Liaodong Han is as fierce as iron
Guljang gave the task of delivering the news to a man named Choi Young-hyun.
Cui Yingxian, who was on August 25 in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, was about forty years old and was already a father of two children. Although, the two sons feel that his father is incapable and a little unfilial, the older one is better, and always says that he remembers his father's birthday and wants to think about a big birthday. Every time Cui Yingxian listened, he said that he couldn't remember it, and he didn't do it, as if he had forgotten his life more than 20 years ago.
At this age, it is remarkable that a person can live to be forty years old. Especially in Liaodong, especially his eldest son always said that he was a Han in private, so he was not a North Korean as his father said.
But every time Cui Yingxian listened to it, he rewarded his eldest son with two ear scrapers, and he beat them very lightly, but his tone of voice was very deep: "You are not allowed to say this in Phoenix City in the future." ”
The youngest son, who had heard of this scene, looked down on his father even more, and ran away to North Korea to do business with his eldest brother. They were buying and selling for the Jialazhang Jinggul Zhanga of the Phoenix Mountain, but they were not in the city.
So Cui Yingxian stayed alone in Phoenix, and ran errands in Gulzhang's house every day, Gulzhanga said that he was a North Korean, or an old man who had lived in Liaodong for 26 years, and he had not died for 26 years.
So the task was given to Choi Young-hyun.
Cui Yingxian, who was carrying the envelope of Gulzhang'a, didn't ask for a horse, so he found a tunnel and withdrew from Phoenix City. No one knew how he found a tunnel in the old barracks of Dingliao Right Guard.
Cui Yingxian, who entered the tunnel, went out of the city, and then saw the flames everywhere, and Phoenix City was burned down. The unsuspecting Gulzhanga was conquered by the Ming army without organizing enough remaining strength.
"Twenty-six years, twenty-six years! Dingliao right guard. There are Ming soldiers again! Choi Young-hyun burst into tears, happily feeling that at this moment, he seemed to have returned to the age of fourteen or fifteen all at once.
The children were full of energy. I have the dream of a teenager, and when I grow up, I always feel that I can be a big hero. Carrying the gun of the Ming Dynasty, he was the general of the Liao Patriotic State.
But there was a chaos, Nurhachi led the Jurchens to slaughter left and right, and the entire Liao became the world of the Jurchens, and how many relatives and friends fell under the barbarian swords and guns. Choi Young-hyun, who has a big pie face, was instead treated as a North Korean and survived.
Seeing the fire rising in Phoenix, Choi Young-hyun wiped away his tears, clutched the letter in his hand, and a thought came to him. It was unprecedentedly strong, and he trembled in his heart: I want to do a big vote, I want to do a big vote!
"I'm going to do a big vote to avenge my father!" Cui Yingxian returned to Zhuangzi outside his city, took a hoe, and dug a pit in the backyard, in which the oiled bag was rudely torn open.
A mountain armor was taken out, and next to it was a long knife that had been rusted.
Sharpened the knife. Sticking the armor in his coat, Cui Yingxian got on the horse, looked at Phoenix City in the south, and galloped wildly. Gallop north.
The wind was fierce, blowing in the ears, and it seemed extremely lonely.
But at this moment, I only felt that there was a golden light around me. Choi Young-hyun told himself: I am the general.
The general who led the revenge of thousands of innocent and martyred compatriots!
……
Follow the official road of the Ming Dynasty from southeast to northwest. Out of Dingliao, the right guard is the oblique station. There are several cultivated fields, a village. There are also a few cows on the left and right. It is located at the fork of the main trunk of the grass river and the main stream, and it is the best watering ground.
Cui Yingxian, who went alone, carefully avoided the avenue, relying on more than 20 years of knowledge and familiarity with the trail, bypassing the Xilie station and finding a shallow place in the tributary to rush to the crossing.
All the way to the north, I found an old acquaintance who didn't know about Phoenix City in Tongyuan Fort, looked for some food, changed horses, deviated from the avenue, ran northwest, crossed Lianshan Pass, went north through Tianshui Station Fort, and went all the way for dozens of miles, and finally saw a big mountain rising from the flat ground in Liaodong when I was about to collapse.
Here, it is Anping Mountain.
There are steep mountains in Anping Mountain, and several passes can be called a one-man pass, and there are some ruthless characters who hide them.
At that time, the great rebellion in Liaodong caused some robbers who pulled poles up the mountain to grow stronger. It's a pity that they are not facing the Ming army who are not good at fighting, but the Jurchens who make a living by fishing and hunting.
After several rounds of suppression, the big poles on Anping Mountain dissipated one after another. There were only about 100 or so families left to learn martial arts, and the Han people with complete blacksmiths, carpenters, and peasant households hid in the remote mountains and valleys.
The most important thing is that they have found some more partners. So that he did not step into the footsteps of those big bandits who were wiped out.
These partners were the Shengjurchen captured by the Qing people from the depths of the Northeast, and most of the Shengjurchen were the descendants of the Hezhe and Oroqen people who were in a primitive state of fishing and hunting in the Northeast. Dissatisfied with the king, the degree of civilization is very low, most of the bone arrows are used, but they are extremely fierce, dare to hunt tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, and have extremely high combat effectiveness.
After being captured by the Qing State with its powerful sword soldiers, some people were naturally happy to be commanded, and some ran out without being disciplined.
Those who did not obey the discipline of the Qing Dynasty fell into the grass, and did not do anything to cut the path and rob the merchants, but only hunted bears and tigers in the mountains and sold them to Korean merchants, which was also considered to be happy.
These daughters have always been fierce, and there are two or three hundred people nested in the ravines, but the situation is different from before. The ferocity is still the same, but the combat effectiveness has changed greatly, and it is no longer an existence that Jiannu can catch at will.
Because there are Han people in Anping Mountain.
These Han Chinese have blacksmiths, carpenters, and the ability to build armor. This place is quite close to Benxi in later generations, and a small amount of iron ore coal mines have been found in the ravines and ravines, which can be used to make iron to build armor and prepare for war.
So, with the armor repaired by the Han people, these Jurchens, who were quite simple in nature, also formed an alliance with the Han people, but the Jurchens couldn't say it.
At this time, if the Qing State sent a large army to kill the past, it would not suffer hundreds of casualties and gain nothing. If you send a small force of troops, it is even more like sending food to people for training. After all, it has been twenty-six years since Jiannu was founded, and there are not so many strong soldiers and generals who can waste it on a small pole that is not dangerous.
Anping Mountain stayed here all the way.
Until Choi Young-hyun came here.
By this time it was already sunset, and it was dark and drizzling. Tranquility in the mountains. The sound of birds and beasts chirping, if not sweating profusely. The tired Cui Yingxian broke in, and Anping Mountain also felt a little like a paradise.
But. Cui Yingxian did not relax after entering Anping Mountain, he was very uneasy in his heart.
He glanced at the dense forest in the mountains, looked at the mountain road that did not know where to begin, groped for the traces of the human path washed by nature, and began the road up the mountain.
He was not familiar with An Pingshan, but he had heard a few friends hear about the situation here, and knew that there was once a Niu Lu Zhangjing who led 300 people into the suppression, but in the end, more than 200 people went back naked. For the sake of more than 200 people, I heard that some Jurchens sent the iron pot and salt at home to the mountain, so that they could be exchanged for people back.
So far. An Pingshan's impression on Cui Yingxian is only two words: strong.
And now, he is going to talk to such a group of people about life-and-death matters.
Creak......
Cui Yingxian's steps were gentle, but he still couldn't bear the complicated road in the forest, and a crisp branch was trampled off. Almost at the same time, Choi Young-hyun tensed like a cheetah, and slammed into a forest rock in the distance. Then he pulled out the long knife in his waist, clenched his hands, and looked around with suppressed heavy breathing.
At this moment, the mountains and forests were extremely silent, and there was not a single sound.
But Choi Young-hyun didn't dare to let his guard down at all. Leaning against the rock, he looked left and right, lest a bunch of people come out of nowhere and rush over. Nearly a hundred breaths of time passed in such a high level of mental tension, and there was still no sound in the entire forest.
Seeing this, Cui Yingxian couldn't help but think: Maybe I'm too nervous.
Think of it this way. Cui Yingxian looked at Lin Zhongshan Road and prepared to move on.
It's just that just when he just wanted to get out of one.
Suddenly. Above the huge rock, a gray figure fell like a wild goose. The cold light appeared and was heading towards Choi Young-hyun's neck.
"I'm Han!" Between urgency and urgency. Cui Yingxian only had time to shout this!
……
Phoenix.
"We're still moving a little bit slower. There is not much food, only enough for thirteen days. Departure on September 23 means that an attack will be launched in Shenyang by October 3 at the latest! Jiulian City and Phoenix City are too poor, the Manchurians are really a group of humanoid manure machines, and they have no habit of storing grain at all, if we don't collect their rations, I'm afraid we won't even be able to raise horses. And that means...... The food stock in the army still can't span the maximum time of thirteen days, and even less than six days are left for me......" Zhu Cihong wrote this paragraph in his diary and put away the notebook in his hand.
The army was taking a rare break, and after the military aircraft department of the army had finished sorting out the captures, officers at all levels began to hold regular meetings. This is an important channel for Zhu Cihong to grasp information in the army.
The diary was also written because the generals at all levels gathered to ask for time.
It's a regular meeting, but it's actually very simple. Ni Yuanlu insisted on keeping up with the army, and Xie Hongyun slowly marched towards Jiulian City with subsequent recruits and Korean soldiers.
A map of Liaodong was spread out on the ground, and everyone sat in a circle, and Ni Yuanlu began to speak: "The terrain of Liaodong is generally flat, and our current march is quite fast. Thanks to the siege and annihilation of Jiulian City, as well as the strong news of the blockade of the cavalry battalion. The attack on Phoenix City went very smoothly, then, according to the raid plan of Liaodong, it was roughly in accordance with the official road of the Ming Dynasty to attack Shenyang. Now, the raid is very efficient, and Phoenix is unplugged. The two big cities located on the border of Liaodong have been settled, and the back road is worry-free for the time being, and the march can be continued. All the way north, we soon entered the defensive circle of Shenyang. ”
"Follow the official road and continue north. The advance regiment had already moved towards the Xilie station as planned, there were not many people there, and the breakthrough was easy. Then there is Tongyuan Fort and Lianshan Pass. There was no Manchu Qing along the way, and even if there were, they had already been consumed by Chahara and Keel in Korea. But ......" Ni Yuanlu paused and said, "Our difficulty is here!" ”
As he spoke, Ni Yuanlu pointed the branch in his hand at the Weining Camp located north of the Taizi River.
"The Weining camp is a small place, and there are not many soldiers. But...... The Prince River is a nuisance. Ni Yuanlu said, and couldn't help frowning: "Actually, the Hunhe River in Shenyang is also a trouble, but it is the moat of Shenyang." Our strategic goal is not to be completely conquered, and the pontoon bridge can be built a little more slowly. ”
Xu Hong groaned and said, "We don't know the situation of Taizihe yet, but according to the torture of some captured prisoners, we can know that it is comparable to the scale of grass and grass. If you want to prepare a pontoon bridge for the army to force the crossing of the Grass River, it will take seventeen days, and the time required to remove the preparation tools will take ......"
Zhu Cihong said: "I'll solve things like logs." Now fully prepare and tell me how long it will take to build the pontoon. ”
"A day and a half!" Xu Hong took a deep breath: "Day and night, build a pontoon bridge for the army!" ”
"The Military Aircraft Department made a note of it. In terms of military merit. Zhu Cihong didn't say much.
Xu Hong's eyes turned red.
"It's a day and a half very fast, but it's still a little late if you don't disturb your opponent at all." Ni Yuanlu said in his heart, but he didn't say it. It is not easy to carry out the baggage battalion, and it is also desperate to make military merits, and it can only be in vain to pressure if you continue to say this kind of thing, thinking about this, Ni Yuanlu changed the topic and said: "The cavalry battalion has set off first, sweeping any human beings near the official road who can find the movement of the army." The advance regiment is used as a fortification, and it should have reached the vicinity of Xiliebao at present, and it should not be a problem to conquer it. Even the mountain pass is a little troublesome, but it doesn't matter. So... Your Highness, the plan is to be changed slightly. ”
"Weining Camp ......" Zhu Cihong frowned: "This is the first line of defense. If the Qing army is no longer surprised by our surprise attacks...... That's it, the effect of the raid is probably achieved, and I don't think I can do the kind of raid that the other party can't even close the city gate. ”
Zhu Cihong is talking about Huangzhou City, but the people here basically don't need to ask much about the scale of the North Koreans' combat effectiveness. Otherwise, why do North Koreans take Lin Qingye so seriously?
can loot the elite of North Korea, and only Lin Qingye with 300 people can get into the eye.
"The role of the raid is more to suspend the in-depth mobilization of the other side, and the kind of situation that completely allows the other side to enter a state of war at the level of peacetime is still too rare. Let's talk about some good news! Zhu Cihong said and looked at Li Dingguo. He was in charge of logistics.
"Your Highness, Generals. The Military Aircraft Department has already counted it. There are 17,000 horses, which can reach the level of one person and three horses! It's all war horses! There are not many other dogs in this group of Tartars, but there must be no less horses! Li Dingguo shouted loudly, smiling happily.
Zhu Cihong said with emotion: "We have also entered the situation of mules and horses." Finally, you don't have to follow the advance regiment and the cavalry battalion to eat dirt. ”
"Haha......" everyone laughed happily. (To be continued.) )
