How about the one hundred and eight octopus without water

When the army first entered the territory of Jianzhou, it could not get any news, and the villages along the way were either hostile or evasive, which was actually a policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When encountering such a situation, what is said in the book is to buy people's hearts, put benevolence and righteousness first, and maybe capture Meng seven times, so that the other party will open his heart to you and be willing to obey.

Who will conquer the subduation, Wang Tong is too lazy to get these false texts, it is enough for people to know the fear and let people know the consequences, and Wang Tong also did this.

After the burning of Hetuala, everyone was afraid, the Jurchens were not ancient people, they were farming people not nomads, they couldn't pat their butts and ride horses to escape, they couldn't leave the place where they settled, it was difficult to maintain their livelihood without it, the Ming army killed people and slaughtered villages, completely destroyed the foundation of their existence, burned the city and fired, this scene made everyone fearful.

That is, after the burning of the city, the news began to flow smoothly, and after the Eastern Expeditionary Army released more than 100 Jurchen prisoners to pass the news, soon some people took the initiative to come to the door to convey their sincerity and take the initiative to provide supplies for the army.

It was also said that the location of Nurhachi's group, who had stopped about a hundred and twenty miles from Hetuara ten days earlier, but had now left, heading in the direction of the Hercynian Jurchens.

On the 20th of March, the Huwei army left the city of Hetuara and began to continue to pursue northward, and the soldiers and horses brought by Nurhachi were also more than 5,000, so it was impossible for such a team to disappear silently in the mountains and forests, there must be traces to follow, and the Jurchen villages in Jianzhou were already frightened, and no one dared to hide it.

Wang Tong kept releasing news here, for example, if he didn't report it to him, he could report the news, even if he allowed the thief chieftain soldiers and horses, it was also forced.

As soon as this decree said, there was no way to hide Nurhachi's traces, and everyone knew that Nurhachi led the army all the way to the northeast, first passing Hu'er Wenwei and entering the territory of Haixi Jurchen.

Although Liaozhen is the territory actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty, after the border wall, the place names along the way are all names such as guards, which are the relics of the Ming Dynasty when it was in the expansion period, and the backwardness of barbarian culture is directly used.

The soldiers led by Wang Tong are only more than 9,000 foot soldiers, and more than 4,000 cavalry, but the people are also nearly 10,000, in this season, it is easy to get stuck in the mud when the cart full of goods walks on the road, and there are many roads that need to be repaired to pass, and the people are used for this.

In fact, Wang Tong's plan was very large, and through this march, at least a road should be built, as far as possible to the Jurchen hinterland, so that the army could advance on this basis in the future, and the merchant group and the reclamation group could use this to expand to both sides.

It's not that it's not that the terrain here is flat, and there are roads that already exist, and all the people do is simply widen and repair.

Under such circumstances, although the speed of the army was not fast, it was firmly advancing every day, and after Hu'er Wenwei, the front was where Mao Lianwei was.

Mao Lianwei was originally also the sphere of influence of a certain tribe of the Jurchen or Meng Gu, but this place is now a borderless area, and the original owner does not know where he went.

Hu'er Wenwei and Mao Lianwei are large plains near the river, suitable for farming, and they are adjacent places where several forces are intertwined, but because of this, all parties have used this place as a buffer and one of the trade distribution centers before they have the ability to swallow this place alone.

Before the rise of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, this area was the place where the Han merchants from Liaozhen traded, because it was not only possible to trade with the Jurchen and Meng ancient tribes, but also the nearby Goryeo people.

However, the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens blocked the roads here, which was equivalent to monopolizing the trade between the Jurchens and the Goryeo people and the Ming Dynasty, and this area was gradually abandoned.

The march without encountering any enemy was very boring, Wang Tong simply let the cavalry go out to hunt, and the harvest was quite rich at the end of the day, as long as the archery was passable, almost all of them could bring back very good prey, and the worst was a hare.

Although at this time of year, when the wild animals are fatless, it may be a matter of improving morale by simmering the game at night and opening the meat, whether it is the cavalry foot soldiers, or even the people who are assigned to the bones to boil soup, the mood is very high.

The news of Nurhachi's troops and horses was passed on, and after entering the territory of the Haixi Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens were almost besieged by the Haixi Jurchen forces.

Although the troops and horses led by Nurhachi are quite strong, they can't withstand such harassment from the Haixi Jurchens everywhere, otherwise they will simply fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, so that they will not be able to obtain any supplies.

It is indeed a deep feud in the sea of blood, under the city of Shenyang, among the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that were completely annihilated, the young and strong of the Haixi Jurchens accounted for nearly two-thirds, and then from Shenyang to Tielingwei to expel the Tartars from the sweeping battle, the Haixi Jurchens also suffered a lot of losses, and such losses inevitably made the Haixi Jurchens grit their teeth with hatred.

The actions of the Ming army in the Jianzhou Department spread very quickly, and it also spread very widely, and many people in Hetuara saw the fire with their own eyes, Wang Tong's warning, and the Haixi Jurchens also received it, who dared to take in Nurhachi, and they didn't even dare to fight.

In such a situation of attacking in groups, Nurhachi's march was difficult, but the Haixi Jurchens lost too many young men in Liaozhen, and there was nothing they could do in the face of the Jianzhou Jurchens' forces, and they could only harass and clear the wilderness.

Nurhachi was unable to move after two days in this range, although this kind of harassment around him could not cause any big losses, but piecemeal killings were also troublesome, and he could not get supplies, and there were pursuers behind him, and the demoralization was getting worse and worse.

What's even more troublesome is that the Haixi Jurchens have already sent messages from various ministries to gather forces to meet the remnants of the Jianzhou Jurchens, otherwise they will let the Jianzhou Jurchens cross the border, and wait for the fierce Ming army to chase after them, there will still be big trouble.

When Wang Tong was about to leave Hu'er Wenwei, the latest news came again, and Nurhachi had returned from the Haixi Jurchens.

is similar to Wang Tong's judgment, the situation is like this, if he scatters all the people and flees into the deep mountains and old forests with his small family, no one will be able to catch him, or even directly enter Liaozhen to be a Han merchant, he will be rich for a lifetime, and I am afraid that no one will be able to catch him, but people like Nurhachi will definitely not be willing to do so.

The Huwei army has been running for a long time, and it is already a tired soldier, in a sense, Nurhachi is fighting to the death, it is not that there is no chance, rather than despairing, it is better to fight to the death, and the end of the strong crossbow can not wear Lu Min, this is indeed the truth, but the truth is just the truth.

The white mountains and black waters are vast, and the team of thousands of people seems to be able to come and go at will, but in fact there are not many places to go, and the territory of the Haixi Jurchens is already full of hostility, and if they continue to the north, the various tribes of the Meng Gu and the Jurchens over there are also intertwined, and they are becoming more and more unsuitable for people to come and go.

Beyond this wall, the inhabited land is reclaimed and reorganized, and in a few years it will be fertile fields, but where there are no people, either forests or swamp meadows, it is not suitable for deep entry at all, especially in large groups of people.

Besides, the withdrawal of Hetuala was originally intended to prepare for a comeback, thinking that relying on the strong walls and guerrilla harassment would make the Ming army anxious, and there was no way to stand on its feet, but the style of this Ming army was completely different from that of the officers and soldiers in Liaozhen, using the method of uprooting, and the three-light strategy was even more vicious.

Knowing what their hometown was like, especially after knowing that Hetuara had been burned down, the morale of the soldiers and horses led by Nurhachi was extremely low, and they all knew that their foundations had been destroyed.

Traveling all the way north, the rest of the Jurchen tribes who were originally respectful to them changed their faces, did not provide any support, and began to shout and kill.

In the Haixi Jurchen side for a few days, in addition to the battle deaths, there were also deserters who continued to appear every day, which made the army's heart shake even more, and in such a situation, they had to fight back.

It's just that under the cruel high pressure of the Ming army, even the attitude of the various villages of the Jianzhou Jurchens has changed, providing food supplies and recruiting men, all of which are pushing, and even avoided them in advance when the Jianzhou army came.

When I entered Daming Liao Town last year, the men in various villages were scrambling to follow, and each family of Daming had a lot of money and people, but why did they turn their faces at this time.

The people who followed Nurhachi were all the team he brought out, and many of the family members of this team died in the Three Lights Strategy, not to mention the deep hatred, but also loyalty.

The Jurchens in Haixi were fed up with cold words and hostility, and thought that after returning to Jianzhou, they would be like a fish in water, but they didn't expect that this treatment would be even more excessive than that of Haixi, so they naturally became angry in their hearts, this is normal, and the Jurchen people in Jianzhou knew the cruelty and terror of the Ming army up close, and they didn't dare to break any rules.

After catching the person who secretly went out to report the news, this anger was finally aroused, and Nurhachi also knew that if he didn't use ruthless means, not only would the situation be uncontrollable, but he was afraid that his own military spirit would not be able to be maintained.

A village because of the enemy, the whole village was killed by the Jianzhou army, the news spread everywhere, for a time no one was willing to believe, this is the Jurchen people killed the Jurchens, but the next move is to prove the truth of these things, the Jianzhou army began to forcibly recruit the men of each village, looting livestock and grain
