Chapter 369: The Wind Outside the Gate

At the beginning of September, the weather outside the gates, which had been gradually getting cooler, became hot again because of the war.

From the Yalu River to Jinning, from Jinning to Shanhaiguan, from Shanhaiguan to the Yellow River, thousands of miles away, there seems to be the shadow of war.

Liaodong outside the Guan, Shenyang, that is, Shengjing.

Huang Taiji was discussing matters with the Baylor and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Although Huang Taiji is the Khan of Dajin, however, due to previous reasons, so, there is more than one person who "sits in the north and faces south" with him, in addition to him, there are three other major Baylors, Le Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, these three people, according to different months, can also "be on duty", the power is very large, after Huang Taiji came to power, although there are some achievements, but last year's attack on the Jinning defense line, it is considered a loss, so, the position of this Dajin Khan, sitting is not very stable, encountering major events, must be discussed, can not be decided alone.

"When I formed an alliance with Karaqin last month, I said that we would help them fight Lin Dan Khan this month, but this month, it seems that the Ming Dynasty suddenly became bolder, and ...... started a war with us first, then Mao Wenlong seems to be pouring out, everyone says what to do." Huang Taiji said with a bitter face.

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted: "Those crappy lambs of the Ming Dynasty, what is there to be afraid of?" Come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair, as long as you give me 10,000 iron horses, they will come 100,000 and I will not be afraid......"

"Good"

"Kill"

"That is, the people of the Ming Dynasty are all lambs ......, and they should be killed......"

Everyone shouted to cheer for the person who had just spoken, and the scene was instantly chaotic.

Huang Taiji's usual emphasis on several Hanchens did not dare to intervene on such occasions, for fear of being troubled by those barbarians.

Huang Taiji took a look at those "think tanks", the think tanks all lowered their heads and didn't speak, Huang Taiji had to come out and say it himself, they Jurchens looked down on them, and it was not a matter of a day or two to bully Hanchen, although those people had achieved the top level of Hanchen, but they Jurchens could insult and bully those Hanchens if they found a few people, and those Hanchens were afraid of being bullied, and they didn't dare to argue with the Jurchens when they encountered something, and they were more serious.

"Those lambs in the Ming Dynasty are not afraid, but this month they are going to fight Lin Dan Khan, and they have agreed with Karaqin, Mao Wenlong's guy is pulling his hind legs in the back, which is more or less a little affected, I heard that Mao Wenlong divided his soldiers into three classes, first-class field soldiers, second-class garrison soldiers, and third-class township soldiers? This time his field soldiers seem to be pouring out of the nest, and we have to pay more attention, Mao Wenlong, this guy, slippery and hands-free, if you are not careful, you will suffer his ......loss...... I heard that Yuan Manzi of Jinning also made a move, and also poured his field soldiers out of the nest, and there is a posture of fighting with us "Although Huang Taiji is a khan now, the rules are far less big than in the future, and there are bandit groups everywhere.

Speaking of Mao Wenlong, this "Manchu Dynasty civil and military" have quieted down, Mao Wenlong is a scourge, this is their unanimous understanding, this scourge is specially taking advantage of your inattention, secretly come up to bite you, bite and run, you don't care about him, he just bites hard, tears off a piece of meat from you, and compares with him, but he retreats to the sea again......

"Phew...... Mao Wenlong, this dog mongrel, I led the soldiers to destroy him...... "A big Baylor couldn't stand this nest of gas, and roared loudly.

"Yes, go and destroy him......"

"That's right, kill Mao Wenlong, a dog mongrel."

Everyone shouted again, and it seemed that Mao Wenlong was about to be destroyed.

Huang Taiji hurriedly suppressed it and said, "If Mao Wenlong is so easy to destroy, there is still Mao Wenlong?" Amin, Mao Wenlong has 20,000 elite soldiers pouring out of the nest this time, you have dealt with him the most, what do you think is different this time, or how to deal with it? ”

Among the few people who sat "facing south" with Huang Taiji, one of them was Amin, and said: "Khan, this is easy, as long as you give Amin 8,000 iron horses, you can guarantee that Mao Wenlong will be beaten all over the ground to find teeth, and he will die as many as he wants...... Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed again, as if Mao Wenlong was just a clown.

Huang Taiji is more sensible, knows the most about the Ming Dynasty, and has analyzed it for the longest time, so he didn't say much, and said: "Mang Gurtai, Yuan Manzi is almost 20,000 elites, what do you think, how many troops do you need to settle down?" ”

is also a person in the "Face South": "Khan, Yuan Manzi, if it is 20,000 capable soldiers, I am afraid that it will take 10,000 iron cavalry to be sure, and if I am less afraid, Yuan Manzi still has a ruthless hand, and there are so many generals under him, I will not hold it ............ manggultai this person, his voice is a little smaller, and when it comes to Yuan Chonghuan, he is also quite respectful. ,

Everyone listened to his words, and they didn't make much noise, and Yuan Manzi had a lot of tricks, although he had the upper hand, but Yuan Manzi also had a few generals who could fight, this was indeed a trouble, and it was not a shame to take one against two.

"Okay, Mang Gurtai needs 10,000 there, Amin needs 8,000 there, so this goes to 18,000 elites, Ben Khan promised the Karaqin Department last month, to fight Lin Dan Khan, how can he get tens of thousands, otherwise there is no certainty, Lin Dan Khan is now mixed with the Ming Dynasty, and has received a lot of support from the Ming Dynasty, so he went to nearly 30,000 elites, does this Shengjing still have to be guarded? How many elites are we in total? With such a point, people are not enough to see. This time, the Ming Dynasty suddenly made a move, and the timing was very good, which was quite unfavorable to our Dajin...... "Huang Taiji's mood has been getting worse and worse recently, originally at the beginning of this month, it was discussed and ready to fight Lin Dan Khan, however, the Ming Dynasty seems to have known the news for a long time, and launched a war in front of him, trying to drag him down, so that his idea of fighting Lin Dan Khan failed.

Hearing Huang Taiji's analysis, in this "big hall", the civil and military ministers of "Dajin" were not very silent.

"Khan, what are you afraid of what they will do? We defeated 100,000 people back then, and we are still afraid of his 30,000 or 40,000 people today? ”

"Ben Khan is not afraid of them, but he feels that things are a little strange, the famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, Man Gui, and Zhao Shujiao seem to be no longer under Yuan Manzi, nor are they in Jinning, so where are they? The Ming Dynasty won't use them, right? Huang Taiji asked.

"Regardless of where he is, are you afraid that they won't make it?"

"Alas......, this time, I'm afraid Karaqin won't be able to please him......" Huang Taiji said suddenly.

Everyone looked at Huang Taiji in surprise.

"Khan, what does that mean?" Someone asked puzzled.

Huang Taiji had a bitter face and said: "This time, the Ming Dynasty has such a big movement, Mao Wenlong's soldiers are pouring out, Yuan Manzi is also average, even Lin Dan Khan seems to be ready to move, such a big move, it has already shown a situation of surrounding my Dajin, Lin Dan Khan and the Ming Dynasty are back to back, connected in a line, which is equivalent to cutting off part of my Dajin and Karaqin, I am afraid that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is going to make a move on Karaqin in Monan......"

"Ah" everyone was surprised, it was always the Mongols who harassed the Ming Dynasty, and now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dared to send troops out of the pass to fight the Mongols' idea, which was indeed unexpected by many people, and also subverted the common sense of many people.

"Khan, won't you, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dare to do this? That little emperor who has not dried up? Someone who did not believe evil asked.

Huang Taiji continued to have a bitter face, and said: "Now, the situation is already obvious, several sides are entangled in my Dajin, cutting off the connection between my Dajin and the Karaqin tribes, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, these generals who can fight have entered the customs early, isn't this a conspiracy?" What's more, most of today's Monan Mongolia was killed by Lin Dan Khan's idiot, and it is almost not as good as before, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty saw it very accurately, and the layout was early, I was afraid that as long as he sent an elite, he could easily take Karaqin ......, I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also made a Mongolian imperial alliance army, specifically to gather the Mongolian tribes...... "The more he said, the more Huang Taiji was not confident, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty saw it, and went much farther than him, and when it came to the end, he only had to parry.

"Ahh

"That khan, doesn't it mean that the Karaqin tribes are not dead this time? Didn't the alliance with us blow ......"

Huang Taiji still had a bitter face, and said: "It's almost gone, now I can only send a fast horse to Karaqin to wake up, I hope it can be ......a little useful" Huang Taiji still has a few cards in his hand, and he is also ready to play them together, in addition to sending someone to inform the Monan Karaqin tribes to be careful of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji is also ready to contact the Mongolian right wing of the Tumut tribes and the Wo'er Dusi tribes, so that they can send troops to contain the Ming Dynasty and buy time for themselves.

Huang Taiji calculated, the south is blocked by the Ming Dynasty's Jinning defense line, to penetrate the Jinning defense line, quite difficult, I tried it once last year, the result failed, the Jinning defense line is too hard, it is really not good to eat, can not go south, then can only go west, fight the idea of the Mongols, by bypassing Mongolia to attack the interior of the Ming Dynasty, so that he can plunder more property, in this way, he can live, westward, has become his only choice, Lin Dan Khan is just a small pebble on the road to the west, kick away, Once Lin Dan Khan kicked away, the Ming Dynasty people wanted to defend against his iron cavalry for thousands of miles, it was really a fool's dream, casually attack at one point, plunder and run, the Ming Dynasty people had no time to react, there was almost no risk, if they couldn't rob, they Dajin would be dangerous, so a little population raised so many soldiers, there was a war every year, if you can't strengthen yourself through plunder, it won't be long before Dajin himself will collapse. ,

In this "big hall", everyone finally felt a little pressure, the people of the Ming Dynasty dared to launch an attack on thousands of miles of territory, several lines, which is beyond the understanding of most people, is this still the Ming Dynasty?

Huang Taiji because he knows a lot, so the pressure is even greater, just the Ming Dynasty emperor can accurately know the day he sent troops, and launch an offensive before he sends troops, just this one, it makes him feel a lot of pressure, that is to say, his every move, the Ming Dynasty emperor knows, the previous kind of "transparent" sight, now it has become blurred, thinking of this, Huang Taiji is very irritable, a bad omen shrouded in his heart.

"Mang Gurtai, take a handful of the Ming Dynasty's Da Nei Zao and show it to everyone, in addition, get a few grenades from the Ming Dynasty, and let everyone take a look......" Huang Taiji was very sad, and at this juncture that was about to start, he remembered something, and was ready to give everyone a reminder first.

After a while, Mang Gurtai came in with a large internal building, and a few grenades were twisted in his hands, which Huang Taiji specially asked people to get, today, just to remind everyone, don't suffer the loss of the new weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji explained while fiddling with Ouchizao: "This kind of musket, in the Ming Dynasty, is called Ouchizao, it can fire without a fire rope, and within fifty steps, it can penetrate cotton armor, everyone should be careful......"

Everyone didn't talk much, everyone had heard of this great internal creation, but it was now a first-class good musket, and even the Mongols, who "didn't like muskets", were full of praise for this musket, praising this musket for its good quality and great power. A dark cloud shrouded in this hall, their Dajin relied on a brave charge, and now this kind of musket is out of the way, which is a great threat to them, even if they are brave men, even if they wear armor and are hit by this gun at close range, they are afraid that they will not be killed, which is not a good news for them who need to take the lead in rushing and killing.

"This, called a grenade, is specially used to defend the city, when you use it, you have to unscrew this cover, light the fire rope and then throw it out, it is said that the power is also quite large, when everyone attacks the stockade and fortress, you can be careful, don't surround too many people at a time, I heard that this kind of grenade, throw hundreds at a time, if the people are too dense, I am afraid that this kind of thing will be ruined......" Huang Taiji was very depressed, this kind of thing is specifically aimed at them, they have no artillery, no long-distance siege things, to attack the city, you can only set up ladders, The thought of hundreds of these things flying out of the stockade made Huang Taiji's heart palpitate

Everyone's face is darker, this thing, they have also heard of it, and some people have seen it, in the recent confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, there are people in the Ming Dynasty who use this kind of thing, not to use it when defending the city, and if they don't chase it at night, they will suddenly throw out a few iron bumps, and then there will be a few loud noises, and then the chasing person will be gone, or the horse will be frightened and suffer a big loss, how can you not be familiar with this thing.

Huang Taiji was very depressed, seeing that everyone's faces were not good, knowing that the weapon he showed hurt everyone's confidence, this matter should not be said at this time, but if he didn't say it at this time, he didn't give everyone a reminder, and when he arrived on the battlefield, he didn't know how many people had to die, Huang Taiji was so depressed that he wanted to smash the grenade in his hand.

Although this incident hurts everyone's emotions, however, this matter is not over yet, and the latest news has to be told to them, Huang Taiji only begged, and after he finished speaking, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty still have a little courage.

"Recently, I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty made a large Kong Ming lantern that can carry people to the sky, on the large Kong Ming lantern, if you use a clairvoyant mirror to observe the situation, then you can see the whole picture of dozens of miles, so, everyone, in the future, and the Ming Dynasty people, if the other party releases a large Kong Ming lantern, there are people on it, don't make too much fuss, understand? It is even more important to pay attention to the fact that the other party can see us through ......" After speaking, Huang Taiji wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Everyone's faces were even darker by what he said, and the "big hall" that was very lively just now became lifeless, and even the few people who liked to go against themselves and raise the bar stopped talking, their faces were black and silent, and many people looked at themselves with surprise and shock.

Huang Taiji didn't want to announce the news, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was good to give everyone a foundation first, Huang Taiji was afraid that he didn't have a foundation, and everyone went out to fight and suddenly encountered someone "flying" in the sky, afraid that the blow to morale would be greater, and he was afraid that he would collapse on the spot. After thinking about it, Huang Taiji still told the news, at least he was prepared. ,

In the "main hall", everyone strained their faces, and the clamor just now was gone. Many people still can't understand why Kong Ming lanterns can carry people to the sky, what if they fall?

……

"No, no, no......" In Shanhaiguan, a "weapon store" specializing in selling guns, Yang Liu was bargaining with the guy who sold guns.

"Little brother, please, although we only have twelve people, we are really getting twenty-four guns, we are all veterans of playing with guns, two guns per person is no problem, we have few people, two guns per person, this can also be used as two small flags, right? Little brother, please, be accommodating, be accommodating, we are going to fight Tartars, hunters' heads......" Yang Liu said endless good things to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper did not agree to the twelve people to give twenty-four guns.

"Little brother, little brother......" Yang Liu is inexhaustible good words.

"What's making a fuss?" A shopkeeper-like man came out of the inner room, hearing the quarrel between the guys and the guests outside, and came out to see what was going on.

"Shopkeeper, that's the case, these people, a total of twelve people, according to the regulations, the small ones can only sell them twelve guns, and they dare not sell them more, they just want twenty-four guns, saying that they are two guns per person, and they are entangled here......" The shopkeeper hurriedly explained to his shopkeeper.

"Oh? Is that the case? The shopkeeper's eyes glanced at Yang Liu's party.

"Hehe, this shopkeeper, it's like this, we want to use two guns for one person, so that we can have a greater grasp when hunting heads, and please be accommodating." Yang Liu said, they were playing with muskets back then, they were masters of playing with guns, not many people came this time, and after referring to the performance of the new Ouchi, they decided to have two guns for one person, so that when fighting, they could save the trouble of filling guns, so that they could quickly kill a group of people, and then cut off people's heads and run.

"Hehe, brother, it's not that we are not accommodating, there are roads, there is a household registration, and there is a license issued by the local government, so that we can buy a gun here, one person and one shot, real-name registration, never sell more, brother if you want to get a few more shots, hehe, to put it mildly, brother is not famous now, and he has not hunted any heads, if he is famous, he can hunt many heads, not to mention two shots per person, even if it is other good things, I will sell you some, it is okay, but unfortunately, brother is not famous, and ...... is difficult to , If everyone is like you, and they buy two guns for each person as soon as they come, hehe, to put it mildly, we are afraid that you will sell this gun monopolized...... This gun is now on the grassland, but it is worth ......, hehe, okay, listen to my brother's words, don't make trouble here, it's still important to hunt the head, it's easy to talk with a head......" The shopkeeper may have experienced a lot of such things, and said disappreciatively.

Yang Liu listened to the shopkeeper's words and felt that there was no hope.

However, the shopkeeper looked at Yang Liuyi and said, "Looking at my brother's body, I'm afraid he is also in the army all year round, right?" Just now you said that you are all veterans of making guns, could it be that you are border soldiers? Is that the land? "The shopkeeper is interested, this line of people, all of them are strong, and there is a big difference between them and ordinary people, at first glance, they are perennial soldiers, and they may still be veterans, so they are also interested in Yang Liu.

"This shopkeeper, we are all from Fugu County, Shaanxi, hehe, it is true that it was also a border army, and it is perennial in the army, so I dare to boast that I am familiar with the gun, and the shopkeeper has probably heard that our place has suffered a disaster this year, and we can't survive, thanks to the kindness of the Son of Heaven, we have caught up with the immigrants, so now it is not a army, it was originally going to the south, and it is on the road, but I heard that the Son of Heaven set up a reward in Liaodong outside this pass, and asked for the head of the Tartar, so I want to take advantage of the young and have the strength, Let's see if we can get two dollars to spend. Yang Liu roughly explained where they came from, this is not a fabrication, it is basically true.

"Well, no wonder, looking at my brother's posture, I know that my brother has been on the battlefield, not bad, not bad, Fugu County? Fugu County, Shaanxi? Oh...... But Fugu County, Shaanxi? Shi Kefa, Lord Shi, that Fugu County? The shopkeeper seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked.

"This shopkeeper, indeed, is Fugu County, Shaanxi, our immigration officer, indeed the surname is Shifa, I don't know the shopkeeper ......" Yang Liu asked strangely.

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder, man, show me the household registration and certificate license...... "The shopkeeper didn't pay attention to Yang Liu, but instead asked the guy for the household registration, the road, and the license slip, because there was the official seal of the government and the signature of the official on it. ,

The shopkeeper carefully looked at the handwriting on the slip for a while, and then said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's Lord Shi, Shi Kefa, Shi Xianzhi, not bad, not bad, hehe, this Lord Shi is now a celebrity, I heard that in your county, all the officials are promoted to the next level, and those who have no official are given officials, I heard that a guy surnamed Li, who doesn't even have a meritorious name, has also made an official to do, and your county is now famous......" The shopkeeper's gossip broke out in his heart and began to dig out the hottest gossip in the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

Yang Liu was shocked, there is still such a thing in Fugu County? Then he said: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, we came out early, and I still haven't heard of this, but Master Shi knows each other below, has had several faces, and talked a few times, the surname Li, the one who has no merit, is probably Li Hongji, that kid is strong and strong, and he has indeed contributed a lot to immigrants, and we are all from him......" Yang Liu began to gossip with the shopkeeper.

After talking for a while, the shopkeeper almost completely recognized Yang Liu's identity, and said enviously: "This brother, for the sake of you being from Fugu County, for the sake of Lord Shi, my brother will be the master, give you some care, man, sell them twenty-four guns, in addition, give this Yang brother a handcuff, the account will be calculated on my head, in addition, prepare a batch of grenades for them, and let them teach them how to use them......" This shopkeeper is extremely generous and sends guns and grenades, the reason why he is so enthusiastic, It is completely due to the Di Bao, these days' Di Bao, is to praise Shi Kefa, and to introduce Fugu County, all of a sudden, this Fugu County and Shi Kefa have become "stars", this shopkeeper for the sake of the "star", gave Yang Liu a lot of discounts, although this gun shop is a "shop", but it also has a background, and it is also necessary to order the Di Bao.

Yang Liu was so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, he was born in Fugu County, and there were still so many discounts? In this case, you should bring more people over.
