Chapter 381: Before the war, Zhenjiang Fort
Chapter 381 Before the war, Zhenjiang Fort
Guanwai, Liaodong, Zhenjiang Fort.
Mao Wenlong scolded his children, grandchildren and generals, and finally got his wish, to attract the main force of the Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort, create opportunities for other roads, and drag and collapse the Tartars as much as possible.
The generals were almost gone, and Mao Wenlong looked at the gate a little lonely. Looking at the gate for a long time, Mao Wenlong said: "Mao Da, you go and see how you are prepared, urge the brothers to repair the city wall, dig the bunker deeper, do a good job of moisture-proof, the grenade sent by His Majesty, remember to hide it, don't be given a point by the Tartar, then we have to be immortals, in addition, look at the food, but also dig the bunker deeply, do a good job of moisture-proof, if the food is gone, we have to ...... again, go go, go quickly......" Mao Wenlong scolded the generals, He began to tell his personal general to inspect the fortifications.
"Father, the child is going to ......" Mao Da is the first person among Mao Wenlong's many sons and grandchildren, in charge of Mao Wenlong's personal general, is the elite of the entire Dongjiang Town, heard his own handsome's orders, and immediately went to do it, he is Mao Wenlong's personal general, naturally followed Mao Wenlong.
Mao Da is gone.
Mao Wenlong looked at the gate again stupidly, and it was very silent, but soon there was a smile on his face.
"Staff Officer Zhang, Staff Officer Zhang, come here...... Mao Wenlong shouted happily with a smile on his face.
A young staff officer came at the call.
"Dashuai, your name is Xiaguan?" Zhang Heng was sent to Mao Wenlong's side as a staff officer, and when he heard Mao Wenlong calling him, he hurriedly replied.
"Staff Officer Zhang, you are sent by Your Majesty, although Your Majesty did not explicitly say that you have the right to act on behalf of the heavens, but we, the subordinates, also understand the taste, hehe, I have a letter, I want to trouble you......" Mao Wenlong fought with the new emperor a few times, and took the emperor's hand short, so now he is obedient to the emperor and is in awe, even if Zhang Heng, the little staff officer, is a small official who is not even a thousand generals, but Mao Wenlong is also quite "face-giving".
"The marshal really killed the lower officials, the lower officials really can't afford it, if the marshal wants to have any faith to work for the subordinates, just tell the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will definitely do it." Zhang Heng hurriedly excused himself, a handsome person was so polite to a little shrimp who was not even a thousand generals, Zhang Heng couldn't stand it, the emperor had never said openly and secretly that the people in their staff were acting for the sky or something.
Mao Wenlong smiled, took out a letter from his arms, and said, "Staff Officer Zhang, take a look at this letter first, see if there is anything wrong, help me, the old man, correct it, and then trouble Staff Officer Zhang to copy a copy and send it to His Majesty......"
Zhang Heng looked at the letter suspiciously, and saw that Mao Wenlong was very sure, so he involuntarily took the letter, the opening of the envelope was not sealed, Zhang Heng pulled out the letter inside and read it.
The more Zhang Heng looked at it, the more frightened he became
After reading the first few lines, I felt a chill all over my body, and I felt like I was in the abyss of hell, as if I was in a cold pool ice cellar.
This is clearly a letter of "rebellion", and it is clearly a letter of evidence of rebellion, and now the person who wrote the letter of rebellion asked him to read the letter, Zhang Heng felt that he might be about to enjoy the knife and axe immediately.
Looking at Mao Wenlong's "kind" and "gentle" gaze, Zhang Heng felt that this was a man-eating beast. It's definitely not the ordinary-looking old man in front of him.
Zhang Heng finished reading the letter with a cold breath, and seeing that Mao Wenlong hadn't made a move yet, he barely cheered up and said, "Dashuai, this is a counter-letter...... Zhang Heng felt that since he was in Mao Wenlong's handsome tent, it was better to simply point out the center of the topic.
"Hehe, Staff Officer Zhang, it's really good, this is a letter' Rebellion's letter, however, this is just a trick, it is shown to the Tartars, the Tartar leader who came to attack this time is called Amin, is the big leader of the Tartars, I sent a letter to him, just to let him know that I Mao Wenlong is in Zhenjiang Fort, so that he can attack, hehe, just want to deceive him, this letter, is indeed a bit rebellious, hehe, therefore, I asked Staff Officer Zhang to copy a copy and send it to His Majesty's hands to show Wenlong's intentions, if someone talks about this matter in the future, Wenlong will have a rebuttal, and His Majesty will naturally protect Wenlong。 Mao Wenlong explained.
After listening to it for a long time, staff officer Zhang Heng understood that the reason why Mao Wenlong wrote this "counter-letter" was just to attract the attention of the Tartars and lead the Tartars to attack, not that Mao Wenlong was really going to rebel. This is about the same, Zhang Heng came back to his senses. ,
"What the marshal means is that the lower official understands, so he will copy a copy for the marshal and send it to the Beijing division, but the marshal, let the subordinate say something that should not be said, the marshal is so fake and true, I'm afraid it's not a matter if someone has a heart to attack the marshal, I'm afraid this is the ironclad evidence that can't be washed away, it's a little bad, I'm afraid that the marshal will ......" Zhang Heng was frightened in vain, but he still reminded Mao Wenlong that writing this thing was very unfavorable to him.
"Hehe, it's okay, I think about the consequences of this matter clearly, so, before writing letters, I copied a copy and sent it to Jingshi, in case it was liquidated in the future, writing these letters is just to confuse the Tartars, make the Tartars suspicious, suspicious of each other, and kill each other, hehe, just use a few pieces of paper, a little ink, you can make the Tartars kill each other, why not? These letters written by the old man have received a lot of results, hehe, the old chief has killed a lot of people for this......" Mao Wenlong said this, quite complacent, what he couldn't get on the battlefield, but he could easily get it by writing a few letters.
Zhang Heng saw that it was useless for him to say more, so he agreed to come down and copy the letter for Mao Wenlong.
……
Phoenix.
"Master, master, someone sent a letter, saying that it was sent by Mao Wenlong......" shouted a servant-like householder.
"What's the matter? Mao Wenlong's letter? Amin also just arrived in Phoenix, and before he had time to rest, he encountered Mao Wenlong's letter and felt strange.
"Master, yes, someone just sent it, and the slave asked someone to see the seal on the envelope, and there is no doubt that it is indeed Mao Wenlong's......" The self-proclaimed slave took the letter and said with a smile.
"Mao Wenlong's? What did he do when he sent the letter? Open it and take a look......" Amin didn't think much about it, and immediately called someone to open it.
"Chirp ......"
When the servant heard his master's words, he immediately opened the letter and read it.
"Stop, stop, don't be so troublesome, just say what Mao Wenlong means......" Ah Ming didn't know a few words, and when he heard the letter from the clothed servant reading him in classical Chinese, he also had a headache, so he immediately shouted to stop and asked someone to directly say the content of the letter.
"Twr, master......" The slave who read the letter stopped, began to read the letter, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, Mao Wenlong said in the letter, he was waiting for the master in Zhenjiang Fort, and went to conspire to plot Nanming......"
"What, what did Mao Wenlong say? A total of Nanming? Amin was taken aback by the news, if this were the case, he wouldn't have to fight this battle, and he would have directly solved the big scourge of Mao Wenlong.
"Yes, master, Mao Wenlong said in the letter that he wanted to work with his master to map Nanming, and let the master go to Zhenjiang Fort to conspire with him......" The slave smiled even more flatteringly.
"That's it" Amin was ecstatic for a while, but he was not completely carried away by the "good news", and said: "Quickly blow the horn and gather the generals...... Amin remembered the death battle with Mao Wenlong in Tieshan and Yuncong Island last year, thinking of it, Mao Wenlong is the first scourge of their Dajin, how could he betray Daming so easily and get involved with them.
"Wait, wait until I think about it, think about ......it, or blow the trumpet, gather the ......" Amin thought for a while, couldn't make up his mind, and decided to see what the others had to say.
……
Two days later, a small group of cavalry rushed towards Phoenix City, they were assigned by Amin, to Zhenjiang Fort to see Mao Wenlong's reality, to see if this is a scam, if Mao Wenlong is really in Zhenjiang Fort, then, "conspiracy" is somewhat credible, if Mao Wenlong is not in Zhenjiang Fort, it must be a scam, why should I go.
……
Phoenix.
Amin consulted with Bel and Kala.
Those present were Baylor, as well as the big and small Jiala.
"Hardo, you mean, you really saw Mao Wenlong in Zhenjiang Fort?" Amin sat on the handsome chair, tilted his head to look at the people below, and asked the leader of the cavalry who had been running wildly for a few days.
The cavalry leader who had been running wild for a few days had a dusty face, and his face was dark, and he said: "Back to the master, the slave did see Mao Wenlong in Zhenjiang Fort, and Mao Wenlong also received the slave, saying that he wanted to talk to me about Dajin and the master to talk about the Nanming of the Gongtu...... " The cavalry leader who had been running wild for a few days opened his mouth and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lamas began to talk about it. This matter is even more uncertain, everyone believes that Mao Wenlong is lying to everyone, but Mao Wenlong just received their envoy, and talked with the envoy about "Gongtu Nanming", to say that Mao Wenlong has no sincerity, and he will not be so serious, if it is really ......, but no one present can be sure. ,
"Lord Belle, according to the slaves, this matter is afraid of deception, then Mao Wenlong and us are dead, but the scourge of our Dajin, will he reconcile with us so easily? Don't forget, he fought us to the death last year, and besides, we killed his whole family, and he reconciled with us so quickly? Slaves don't believe ......," said a Houjin general.
"Lord Belle, the slaves don't believe it, don't forget, last year, Mao Wenlong's family died in our hands, I'm afraid that Mao Wenlong made us deceive......"
"Lord Belle, I think, this Mao Wenlong is really annoying, since he said that he wants to 'conspire with Nanming', the slave sees, it is better to spread this news everywhere, so that the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty are suspicious of Mao Wenlong, and kill each other, that is the best, but even if Mao Wenlong cheats, we can also go and see, there are tens of thousands of troops in hand, are you still afraid of Mao Wenlong's fraud?" Another person also suggested.
Amin thought for a moment and said, "Aldo, let me ask you, what else did you see in Zhenjiang Fort?" Can you see Mao Wenlong's troops? Is there a soldier hidden? ”
"Back to the master, the slave is in Zhenjiang Fort, in addition to meeting with Mao Wenlong, but also with Mao Wenlong's permission, deliberately walked around Zhenjiang Fort, the slave found that although Zhenjiang Fort has a city wall two or three zhang high, but Zhenjiang Fort is not big, it can hide five thousand people and horses at most, and no more, there is no place to squat, so the slave is sure that the strength of Zhenjiang Fort will not exceed five thousand ......" The cavalry leader of this horn Hardo is also a perennial horse explorer, and these things can be seen at a glance, and they can be estimated at a glance.
Amin seemed to believe in his subordinates, nodded after listening, and said, "What else do you have to ask?" I believe that everyone believes what Halldo said. ”
"Lord Belle, Hardo's words can be trusted, and the slave still wants to ask, what weapons does Mao Wenlong's family make, and how do they ...... the clothes they wear" In Houjin, there are not many people with high culture, but they have their own understanding of war, and many things are asked to the point.
After listening to this, Amin also felt that the question was a good question, and waved his hand at Haldo. Hardo said: "Back to the master, the slave looks at Mao Wenlong's family, what he wears and takes is good, it seems that he is made in the big house, and the clothes are all new ......, it seems that it is not bad, it should be Mao Wenlong's family That's right, by the way, the slave also saw Mao Da, it should be his family, otherwise, it is impossible to afford such a good guy's ......" Hardo said everything he saw one by one, these are things closely related to the military, he took a look, and he paid attention.
As soon as everyone heard about it, they talked about it again, and the reputation of Ouchi was spread throughout the prairie and in the entire Houjin, and it spread early. Hearing that Mao Wenlong's family was all made of Da Nei, many people were so envious that their eyes were red.
"No wonder Mao Wenlong is so bold and dares to wait for us in Zhenjiang Fort, it turns out that he also has something to rely on," a Houjin general said with envy and hatred.
"That's it, how much silver has to be piled up, so how can Mao Wenlong get so much silver?"
"Where else can I get it, except for Emperor Nanming, who can make ......it?"
Amin listened to everyone's discussions, and was very irritable, and said: "Okay, don't say anything about the big internal creation, let's talk about Mao Wenlong, whether to believe or not to believe, whether to go or not to go?" Amin yelled a little angrily. The enemy's guy is good, that means his guy is bad, and when he fights, it's all human life, and it's all capital.
"Lord Belle, let's go and take a look, let's go and see it, our soldiers are pressing, and I'm afraid that he Mao Wenlong won't be able to cheat? Even if it is a deception, our army can immediately set foot on the small Zhenjiang Fort, and the Zhenjiang Fort just said that Hardo can hide 5,000 men and horses at most, what are you afraid of? ”
"That's it, we came this time, anyway, it's for Mao Wenlong, this Mao Wenlong happens to be in Zhenjiang Fort, and we are exempted from looking for ...... everywhere."
There was an uproar among the crowd and this conclusion was reached.
"Well, in this case, then early tomorrow morning, the army will go to Zhenjiang Fort, camp outside Zhenjiang Fort, and then look at Mao Wenlong's tricks, if it is true, then I can't wait for my big gold to add wings to a tiger, and it is easy to plunder Nanming; If Mao Wenlong cheats, we will set foot on Zhenjiang Fort and live Mao Wenlong's sacrifice flag......" Amin shouted irritably.
"Chirp......" everyone shouted together.
……
Two days later, Amin took nearly 20,000 horses and horses to Zhenjiang Fort, originally, he was going to take Phoenix City as the center, strangle Mao Wenlong's harassment everywhere, but since Mao Wenlong invited him to Zhenjiang Fort to "plan the great cause", whether it is true or not, he has to go and see. ,
To the periphery of Zhenjiang Fort, although it is to "plan the great cause", but it is still a march and camp, not sloppy at all, Mao Wenlong's slippery head, in Houjin is also famous, for Mao Wenlong with "seeking tiger skin", many people in Houjin will still be suspicious.
After resting outside Zhenjiang Fort for the night, the next day, Amin set up a position, and if he didn't agree with him, he immediately attacked the city.
Zhenjiang Fort, after waiting for a few days, finally ushered in the long-awaited "guest".
Mao Wenlong stood on the wall of the West Gate, smiling and looking at a camp tent in the distance. He was followed by a group of personal generals, personal attendants, and staff officers.
"Father, clairvoyant mirror" Mao Da followed Ming Mao Wenlong's side, and saw Mao Wenlong looking at the tent in the distance with a "mysterious smile", and immediately handed over the clairvoyant mirror.
Mao Wenlong took the clairvoyant mirror, didn't say anything, and continued to look at the tent.
After watching it for a while, Mao Wenlong's "mysterious smile" ended, and he said with a smile: "Mao Da, look at that tent, estimate how many people are ......"
Mao Da had seen that place countless times a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "Father, it is estimated that there are at most 20,000 people, and it is impossible for a Tartar to conjure a human ...... out of nothing."
"Hehehe, yes, but I'm asking you, how many people can you estimate in that tent?" Mao Wenlong asked with a smile.
Mao Da was confused, and the tent could also see part of it, this Zhenjiang Fort is surrounded by hills, can people's eyes still see behind the hills?
Mao Da was confused for a long time, and said confusedly: "Father, that tent is covered by the hills, and you can't see it, how can you estimate this?" Could it be that the father meant that the Tartars were deceitful and did not bring 20,000 men, so he set up some tents in the mountain nests and did not let us see them? How about the brigade go somewhere else? Mao Da thought about it for a long time before he came up with this possibility.
Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Mao Da, it seems that there are still many places you need to learn, hehe, that hill is certainly covering part of the tent, but it is difficult for me to ...... now, hehe, forget it, it is not suitable to use it at present, Staff Officer Zhang, I will let you put it later, you will let it go, you know?" Mao Wenlong finished talking to Mao Da with a smile, and then said to Staff Officer Zhang.
Mao Da touched his head, not knowing why.
"Yes, Marshal." Zhang Heng agreed lightly.
Suddenly, a young general on the city wall shouted: "Look, big handsome, there's someone over there......"
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the past, and they saw a few horses coming in the distance.
Mao Wenlong hurriedly pulled out the clairvoyant mirror, observed it, glanced at it and said, "It's Hardo, hahaha...... Did the Tartar really think that the old man would 'conspire' with them...... Hahaha......" Mao Wenlong suddenly laughed.
