Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 216
On the east bank of the Kamian River, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion have deployed thousands of chariots and blocked them on the river bank near Shuangchengwei. Under the command of officials from the Ministry of Industry, the young and strong men of the [-] vassal states are also cleaning up the ruins, harvesting stone and wood, and preparing Build walls.

In the middle of Haishen Port, huge wharves have already been outlined, tens of thousands of vassals are also laying piles and pillars under the command of officials from the Ministry of Industry, and they are very busy.

In front of the temporary pier, hundreds of naval warships were like solitaires, continuously unloading supplies such as food and ammunition, and then immediately turned around to transfer more supplies to Rajin Port or even Denglai Water City.

Taichang brought people here to make a fuss, but there was no movement at Jianu's side, so what's going on?
In fact, Nurhachi knew that the Ming army was coming.

Because Luojin Port is less than a hundred miles away from the border of Jianzhouwei, the Shenji Battalion keeps gathering there, so naturally they cannot escape their eyes and ears.

However, Nurhachi misunderstood what Taichang meant.

He thought that the Ming army wanted to move north from Luojin Port and attack Jianzhouwei!
After all, with a distance of less than a hundred miles, even if the mountain road is winding, it would take at most two or three days for the pawns to rush over.

To be honest, he was really taken aback. In the battle of Fort Tingbo, he was overwhelmed by the Shenji Battalion.

At this moment, the Shenji Battalion has come to a place less than a hundred miles away from Jianzhouwei, so he naturally wants to try his best to resist.

He recruited almost all the young and strong who could go to the battlefield, and only then did he make up [-] infantry. Except for the [-] stationed on the line from Sarhu to Hetuala, he pulled all the other [-] to Luojin In the mountains between Hong Kong and Hetuala.

These days, he has been commanding [-] infantry to build various fortresses frantically.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army did nothing but thunder and no rain. The army had gathered for nearly a month, but there was still no movement at all.

At this time, Nurhachi was already a little confused.

What exactly is the Ming army waiting for?

Could it be that they waited for the Ming army in the direction of Fushun Pass in the east to attack and then attacked on both sides!
He quickly dispatched scouts to cover the area between Fushun Pass and Sarhu to monitor closely.

As a result, the Ming army at Fushun Pass remained silent.

He also knew that the Ming army always sent clippers to explore in the direction of the Haixi Jurchen Department in the east, but he also sent scouts to investigate.

The problem is that the scouts ran for a hundred miles, two hundred miles, and three hundred miles and found nothing.

The time spent going back and forth is not a day or two.

Therefore, when he ordered the scouts to run three hundred miles away to investigate, the Shenji Battalion had already set up a formation on the east bank of the Mumian River.

At this time, he realized that the Ming army had gone to Shuangchengwei.

When the scout sent back the news, he was even more confused!

If the Ming army wanted to engage in a two-sided attack, wouldn't it be closer to start from Rajin Port?

If the Ming army wanted to use the navy to land a sneak attack, there are many beaches to the north of Rajin Port. Why did the Ming army run so far?
At this moment, he was really psychologically shadowed by the Ming army, and he no longer had the arrogance he had before.

If a few years ago, he had discovered the traces of the Ming army, he would have rushed there without hesitation, but now he did not dare to act recklessly.

He didn't dare to attack without knowing what the Ming army was doing there.

He thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he finally had to find the old man from the Haixi Jurchen Department and let them take scouts to investigate.

There is no way, almost all the Haixi Jurchen Department has moved south at this moment, because it is too cold there, and it is getting colder and colder.

More than [-] years ago, there were no problems living there, but people in the back were cold to death in winter. Most people could not bear the fire in the simple wooden houses. Only the houses with brick and stone structures were sealed Strictly, and keep burning the kang.

The question is, how can ordinary people afford to build such a good house in the mountains?

Therefore, the Haixi Jurchen Department could only move south to avoid the severe cold.

It has been nearly 30 years since he conquered the Haixi Jurchen Department, and only the elderly over 50 years old in the Haixi Jurchen Department are really familiar with the terrain there. As for the speed at which they lead people to investigate, there is no way promise.

In short, after Nurhachi made such a toss, when he really understood the purpose of the Ming army, almost 20 days would have passed.

It turns out that the Ming army is building a port to the south of the Haixi Jurchen!
And the Ming army is still repairing the abandoned Shuangchengwei Acropolis!

Now, he can no longer just sit back and watch.

Although it is not suitable for people to live there in winter, it is not too cold to be unbearable at other times. It is not cold over there at the moment, and it is no problem how many people the Ming army can gather there!

Of course, he couldn't let the Ming army gather behind him. If the Ming army really attacked from both sides, he didn't know which side to defend, because he had a total of 6 troops under his command, and he didn't follow the Ming army at all. The strength of the army to fight on both sides.

In desperation, he could only leave the most clever Huang Taiji to guard Hetuala, while he took [-] fine cavalry and headed straight for Shuangchengwei.

Unfortunately, when he led his army to the west bank of the Mumian River, the acropolis of Shuangchengwei was almost completed, and the arrow stacks on the city wall were all repaired, leaving the gate tower unfinished.

Under such circumstances, would he dare to lead an army to attack?

Just kidding, the opposite is the Shenji Battalion equipped with muskets and artillery!

Now he also found out clearly that Taichang had merged the Qi Family Army into the Shenji Camp, moreover, the Shenji Camp had a frighteningly large number of muskets and cannons than the original Qi Family Army.

To attack the city guarded by the Shenji Battalion would be courting death!

He had already tasted the bitterness once in Fort Dingbo, and naturally he would not foolishly lead people to attack the city guarded by Shenjiying.

The only thing he could hope for at the moment was to go around the upper reaches of the Mumian River, to the place where the Ming army built the port, to see if he could destroy the Ming army's port, cut off the food for the Shenji camp, and let them starve to death.

It's a pity that the scout finally went around to check, but the news that came back was enough to make him despair.

The Shenji Battalion has already built a city wall to block the access to the port. Moreover, there is a towering fortress guarding the hill next to the city wall. He led the army to run there and was either shot or shot. It was useless at all. .

When Nurhachi heard the news, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

Reluctantly, he led his generals to the beach on horseback. Looking at the looming mountains and the warships strung together like ants, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a warship under his command. Otherwise, he might think of a way to sneak attack or intercept the Ming army's grain ship on the way.

Now he can watch from a distance and stare blankly.

The Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that he is a little desperate.

How to do?
Could it be that the Ming army was allowed to gather here and then attack him on both sides?
If the Ming army really assembled more than 20 troops to attack him on both sides, it would be over!
At this moment, he had long since lost the arrogance he had once looked down on the world. He sighed for a while like an old man in his twilight years, and then waved helplessly: "Let's go, let's go back."

Nurhachi just ran over to take a look, and then led the army back without looking back!
Taichang really didn't expect this, let alone that Nurhachi fell ill as soon as he returned.

Perhaps it was because of too many old injuries left by successive years of fighting, or because the setback of failure was too severe, Nurhachi never recovered from his illness.

The same is true in history. Nurhachi fell ill less than half a year after his defeat in the Battle of Ningyuan, and he couldn't afford it.

Some historical materials record that he was injured by the shotgun of the Hongyi cannon in the Battle of Ningyuan, some historical materials record that he relapsed from an old injury, and some historical materials record that he was depressed because of depression.

Perhaps, the biggest reason is that I can't accept failure and feel depressed.

In short, a generation of heroes ended up with such regret, leaving only a helpless sigh.

His death was simply worse for Jiannu.

Because none of the four major Baylors died at this time, and no one was abolished.

Nurhachi appointed Dorgon, who was only in his teens, to succeed him, but none of the four major Baylors accepted this brat.

Soon, they secretly formed gangs and were ready to fight for the position of Khan.

Dabeile Daishan probably knew that he couldn't grab the three younger brothers, so he simply turned to support the most capable Huang Taiji to inherit the Khan throne, while Erbeile Amin and Sanbeile Manggurtai joined forces to fight against Dabeile's support. The fourth child.

At this time, Taichang didn't know. He wanted to know that Nurhachi was dead, and the four major Baylors were fighting among themselves.

Unfortunately, the news of Nurhachi's death did not come out, and the four major Baylors did not fight immediately.

There seems to be no movement on Hera Atu's side, and a great opportunity to clean up the slaves has been missed in vain.
