Chapter 104 The Messenger Lu Wanling
(PS: The second one will be delivered, please order tickets with the cheek.)
After Ma Shilong was settled, Young Master Zhang's integration into the role of Jinzhou's military equipment was virtually faster. While ordering Mao Yuanyi, Song Xiance and others to inspect the terrain and formulate a city defense construction plan, Young Master Zhang quickly received all the thousands of households in the Jinzhou Garrison. Generals, when they established a comrade-in-arms relationship with them, and when Young Master Zhang was overjoyed, Zhao Ledjiao, a well-known general in Liaodong in history, was also in the Jinzhou Army. Zhao Lijiao didn't know if he had changed a person, but he took 38 slaves to recover Qiantun, and reorganized a team of 6000 people. During the Battle of Songhe, he was brought to Jinzhou by Ma Shilong. In a daze, it fell into the hands of our Young Master Zhang.At the same time, what made Young Master Zhang dumbfounded was that Wu Xiang, who was also the famous "Famous General of the Ming Dynasty", was also in the Jinzhou Army.

"Generals, Zhang Haogu won't say those empty words, I just want to tell you something." Young Master Zhang was not polite, and said straight to the point at the beginning of the meeting: "I, Zhang Haogu, am not here in Jinzhou this time. We are here to live and die together with you! From now on, we are brothers on the battlefield. We share the blessings and share the difficulties. Whoever kills the enemy bravely and makes military exploits will be honored. Gu will definitely not lose half of his reward! But if anyone dares to be greedy for life and fear death, and escapes before the battle, don't blame me for being so ruthless!"

After finishing speaking, Young Master Zhang waved his hand, and a group of soldiers immediately came up with four large wooden boxes, and opened them in public, revealing four large boxes full of silver. Young Master Zhang pointed to the silver and said, "Look, all generals, this is a request from Mr. Gao." The imperial court paid 500 taels in total to the soldiers in Liaodong for one month, and here is a lot of money, all generals please count the figures to see if there is any shortage."

I have to admit that Master Zhang's two sharp axes were indeed beautiful, which surprised the doubtful generals in Jinzhou—Master Zhang, who was born as a civil servant, came up with a humble tone, not to mention those who are loyal to the king and love the people to help each other in times of trouble Forget about the official rhetoric, but the key point is that it was almost a common practice for the coach to withhold the military salary in those days, especially the civil servants leading the soldiers, who embezzled the military salary even more ruthlessly than generals, and because the official salary was too low, they had to support their wives, children and staff Master, so even Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi have to deduct a little bit of military pay to support their families, but Young Master Zhang actually distributed it to the army according to the prescribed amount. This is definitely the No. 1 in the history of the Liaodong army! ——Of course, different from the shock and joy of the generals, Ji Yong, the eunuch who was also eligible to deduct military pay, looked a little ugly, but after the meeting, Young Master Zhang quietly paid 500 taels of silver to Ji Yong After that, Eunuch Ji immediately became our young master Zhang's best friend and ally again.

After the joy, generals including Man Gui and Hei Yunlong bowed their hands to Young Master Zhang and said, "I would like to serve you, Master Bing Bei." Young Master Zhang waved his hand and corrected him: "Wrong! It is for the imperial court, for the people of Liaodong. Efficacy! This officer is now announcing the first order after taking office. From now on, military orders are as important as Mount Tai. Orders must be executed and must be executed quickly——If anyone dares to neglect and violate the order, this officer will definitely punish him! You go down From now on, I have to arrest the discipline of the army, I will go to your camp to check at any time, if the soldiers violate the military law, you will also be implicated!"

"Follow your lord's order!" Jinzhou generals clasped their fists again and agreed in unison.Young Master Zhang nodded, and said: "Now I am announcing the second order. From today, all the soldiers and civilians in Youtun and Xiaolinghe cities will be withdrawn to Jinzhou and stationed in Jinzhou. Ship them all back to Jinzhou for storage! The third order, from now on, the Jinzhou garrison will make every effort to repair the houses and streets in the city, so that the soldiers and civilians who have withdrawn from the city can live.”

The last two orders of Young Master Zhang surprised the generals of Jinzhou, after looking at each other, Wu Xiang asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Lord Bingbei, why did you evacuate all the soldiers and civilians from Youtun and Xiaolinghe to Jinzhou? If they are all withdrawn, what about the two castles of Youtun and Xiaolinghe?"

"Give up all of them!" Young Master Zhang waved his hand and snorted, "Our troops are not enough. The three cities of Jinzhou, Youtun and Xiaolinghe only have [-] troops. Is there a chance for Jiannu to defeat each of them? Only by concentrating our forces together can we hope to resist Jiannu's attack that may come at any time."

To be honest, Young Master Zhang came down to abandon the two cities as soon as he took office, and if he wanted to replace those officials and censors who did not understand military affairs, his saliva could drown Young Master Zhang to death, but these battle-tested generals knew the correctness of this strategy , so including Youtun guard Zhao Liaojiao and Xiaolinghe guard Wu Xiang, they all agreed happily - after all, they didn't want to be surrounded by Jiannu alone in Youtun or Xiaolinghe.But in this way, Ma Shilong and Man Gui, who are experienced in military affairs, sensed that something was wrong, and asked Young Master Zhang together: "Master Zhang, when the general heard that you were in Shanhaiguan, he promised to capture Haizhou before the beginning of spring." Huh? Why did you take a defensive position when you arrived in Jinzhou?"

"Oops, I almost slipped my tongue." Young Master Zhang rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and he was not completely at ease with the generals present. He didn't dare to reveal the secret, so he had an idea and said: "This is not defensive, it is to defend the granary. We have stockpiled 10,000+ shi of grain, and soon Shanhaiguan will send another [-] shi of grain, if we don’t protect and build the granary in Jinzhou, how will we start future wars?”

"Oh, so that's the case." Ma Shilong, who was eager to make meritorious atonement, believed it and agreed immediately.Man Gui was greatly disappointed, and said in his heart that it seems that the idiot is still an idiot, and this idiot still doesn't understand that he should stick to it now instead of attacking.Over there, Young Master Zhang roared: "What are you still doing in a daze? Executing the military order! I didn't prepare a banquet for you today. If you want to drink with me, you can wait until all the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty in Youtun and Xiaolinghe are withdrawn." !"

Relying on Ma Shilong's full assistance, the military order issued by the young master Zhang who had just taken office was quickly implemented. Xiaolinghe City, which is the closest to Jinzhou, first began to arrange a retreat, transporting the food, grass and military supplies hoarded in Xiaolinghe City back to Jinzhou , stored in the houses repaired by the Jinzhou garrison, and in the cellar dug out by the Jinzhou garrison taking advantage of the warm weather. At the same time, the Liaodong people in Xiaolinghe City and outside the city also began to retreat to Jinzhou, relying on the help of the army And protection, the retreat was fairly orderly, and finally there was no tragic scene in history when Gao Di ordered the retreat.Youtun, which hangs alone in the northwest of Jinzhou, is easier to retreat because of the shortage of people and food. Zhao led the army to move all the people in Youtun back to Jinzhou in just one round trip.But in this way, the city of Jinzhou, which has been abandoned for several years, will inevitably be overcrowded. At the same time, Jiannu's pervasive detectives also quickly noticed the change of Young Master Zhang, and quickly sent the news back to Shenyang City.

Overcrowding is easy to solve. Young Master Zhang, who bought the eunuch and supervising army with money, was lawless. He took out military rations as reward, hired people to go out of the city to cut wood, move stones, rush to build defense equipment, rush to repair the city walls and houses in the city, and soon killed 5 people. The idle manpower of more than ten thousand people was devoured. The army and the people were all happy, and they all raced against time to repair the city wall and build fortifications.However, Jiannu's secret operations were not easy to deal with. After discovering that the number of Jiannu scouts in the east of Dujiabao had increased suddenly, Young Master Zhang immediately understood—Jiannu Nuerhachi also began to doubt his true intentions.In order to buy time to prepare for the battle and build the city, our young master Zhang, who always likes to fight and be cunning, quickly came up with a wicked idea, and called Lu Wanling who he had brought from the capital to him...

…………

As Young Master Zhang expected, Nuerhachi in Shenyang City did become suspicious. One morning in mid-October, after confirming again the news that Young Master Zhang was frantically repairing the Jinzhou City Defense, Nuerhachi grabbed Hua Bai The bearded man began to talk to himself, "That little barbarian, Zhang, actually withdrew the barbarian soldiers and civilians from Youtun and Xiaolinghe, as well as food, grass and military supplies, into Jinzhou? He is still desperately rushing to repair Jinzhou's city defense? What on earth is he trying to do?" ?”

"Ama, I learned about it from Xizuo." Huang Taiji, who was also suspicious, said, "According to the report from Xizuo, there are folk rumors in Jinzhou that Zhang Haogu is building a granary and plans to use Jinzhou as a granary to attack Haizhou. Use it. Ke Erchen always finds it a little strange that building a granary requires so many people, soldiers and civilians? Or, that little barbarian Zhang Haogu didn’t want to attack Haizhou at all, but wanted to defend Jinzhou?”

"Master Baylor, don't worry, the slave thinks that Zhang Haogu, that little savage, doesn't have such a scheming mind." Fan Wencheng first belittled Young Master Zhang confidently, and then said: "But if he repairs the Jinzhou city wall, It will be more difficult for our Dajin to break through Jinzhou, so the slave thinks that Dajin should organize an army immediately, capture Jinzhou at the lowest cost, capture the little barbarian Zhang Haogu alive, cut him into pieces, and execute him lingchi!"

Attacking Jinzhou now is indeed a very easy task for the slave army, but for Nurhachi, there are many issues to consider. The first is that it is now October, and the nomadic people The army that built slaves needed to hoard fodder for the winter; the second was that the army going out needed to prepare food, grass, cattle and sheep, which would take some time; The Chahe River and the Daling River are two big rivers, which are very inconvenient for the Jiannu army that lacks ships and sailors; the fourth is to consider that once Jinzhou is captured, Gaodi will send [-] yuan to Zhang and other little barbarians. The stone grain also came to naught, so even Nurhachi, who has always been resolute and decisive, inevitably hesitated, wondering when to launch troops to attack Jinzhou.

"Report!" Just when Nuerhachi was hesitating, Jiala Ezhen, who was wearing a yellow flag, hurried up to the Dazheng Hall, knelt down to Nuerhachi and said, "I report to the Great Khan, our army is in Sanchahe The scouts caught three barbarians from Jinzhou. One of the barbarians claimed to be Lu Wanling, and he was the messenger of Zhang Haogu, the Jinzhou barbarian soldier. He had a letter to send to the Great Khan. The servants have already escorted the barbarians to Shenyang. Excuse me, Khan, see you or not?"

"That little barbarian named Zhang has the guts to send me a letter?" Nuerhachi was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Well, for the sake of his courage, I will make an exception to meet his messenger. Brought up by the messenger barbarian."

Jia Laerzhen went away at the sound, and after a while, Lu Wanling, who was covered in dust, was bound and taken to the Dazheng Hall.Everyone must know who Lu Wanling is, so when he saw the burly Nurhachi high-seat dragon chair, and dozens of civil and military slaves standing on both sides were murderous, Lu Wanling immediately struggled to his knees and knelt down, forehead Sticking it on the ground of the water-polished blue bricks, he shouted in a crying voice: "Xiaosheng... oh, slave Lu Wanling, khan who saw Dacheng the most holy, Shou and Tianqi Dajin, long live sweat, long live long live! Slave... slave Kowtow to the sweat!"

As he said that, Lu Wanling kowtowed his head a few more times, but he hurt his forehead with too much force, and screamed out in pain, while the civil and military officials and Nuerhachi in the Dazheng Hall burst into laughter, seeing at the same time I know the master, it is inevitable that I will be even more contemptuous of Young Master Zhang.Nuerhachi, who is proficient in Chinese, laughed and asked: "Lu Manzi, are you still very courageous? How dare you come to Shenyang to meet me? Don't you barbarian officials and ordinary people pee your pants just hearing my name?"

"Back... back to the big sweat, the slave is actually the least courageous and dare not come at all." Lu Wanling replied with a mournful face: "It's just that the boss of the slave, Zhang Haogu, put a knife on the slave's neck, saying that if the slave doesn't come, he will come." I was going to be sentenced to death for disobeying the military order, so I had no choice but to come here. Zhang Haogu was afraid that the slave would run away halfway, so he sent two people to monitor the slave and come to Shenyang.” After speaking, Lu Wanling was so frightened that he burst into tears , Kowtowing and crying, he said: "Khan, you must not kill me. The two countries are fighting each other. If you don't kill me, please don't kill me! Killing me will only dirty your body." Knife!"

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm too lazy to kill you." Nuerhachi laughed loudly at Lu Wanling's embarrassing pussy, and asked again: "I heard that little barbarian named Zhang, tell you to give it to me!" I sent a letter, where is the letter?"

"On me." Lu Wanling replied with a sob.With a wave of Nuerhachi's hands, the guards cut the rope off Lu Wanling's body, and then Lu Wanling took out a letter from his bosom, holding it above his head tremblingly.The guard held the letter in front of Nuerhachi again, Nuerhachi took it but was not in a hurry to open it, but asked Lu Wanling: "Lu Manzi, what kind of man are you? How does he treat you? Now What kind of official are you in the barbarian court?"

"Back to the Great Khan, the slave was originally a literary friend of Zhang Haogu. Later, when he got promoted and made a fortune, he called the slave into his shogunate to work as a secretary. Now he recommends the slave to be the governor of Jinzhou." Lu Wanling Not daring to tell a lie, he replied honestly: "At the beginning, Zhang Haogu was kind to the slaves, but later he hired a master named Song Xiance for 300 taels of silver a year, and he didn't treat the slaves well." Well then, now he and Song Xiance are discussing important military matters, and they won't let the servants participate in the discussion."

"You barbarian, don't talk to a slave, you are not worthy of being our Daikin's slave, calling yourself a barbarian." Fan Wencheng interjected impatiently.Lu Wanling repeatedly agreed, kowtowed and said, "Yes, yes, slave... oh no, you bastard, I don't dare to call myself a slave anymore."

"It's okay." Nuerhachi waved his hand generously, then smiled at Lu Wanling and asked, "Lu Manzi, do you want to be my slave like the barbarians here? You know, these slaves are here Here, they are all popular and spicy, gold, silver and beauties can get whatever they want, there are a few servants, and they even married my daughter."

"I think so, you bastard!" Lu Wanling, who had already made up his mind to surrender on the way, was overjoyed, and quickly replied, "Khan, I really want to be your slave so much, I'm dreaming about it! The horoscope of the birth date is born on the day of Geng Zi’s month, and the fortune tellers all say that the horoscope of the minion is good, so if your daughter has a horoscope that matches the horoscope of the slave..."

"Don't worry, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to make great contributions to me first." Nuerhachi blinked slyly, and said with a sly smile: "For example, when I attack Jinzhou, open the gate of Jinzhou for me. Also, honestly report to me the situation in Jinzhou and the plans of that barbarian Zhang."

"Khan, you can ask, you can know anything you want, the servant will know everything, and he will talk endlessly." Lu Wanling replied excitedly.Nuerhachi smiled and asked, "Okay, let me ask you, who is that barbarian named Zhang? Will he lead troops to fight? What exactly does he want to do when he leads the army in Jinzhou?"

"Khan, don't worry, Zhang Haogu is a hundred times more timid than a slave. When he was forced to come to Liaodong by the emperor and Jiuqian, he was so scared that he cried and peed his pants." Lu Wanling exaggerated, and then Answered truthfully: "After arriving in Liaodong, Liaodong Jinglu Gaodi trusted Zhang Haogu very much. He listened to what Zhang Haogu said, but the generals in Liaodong were not convinced, and they didn't like Zhang Haogu very much. There was a man named Yuan Chonghuan. He often quarreled with Zhang Haogu. However, Zhang Haogu seemed to have taken some wrong medicine, and suddenly became extremely rampant, clamoring all day long that he wanted to invade Shenyang and set fire to the Dazheng Palace. In the end, even Gao Di couldn't believe him , only let him conquer Haizhou before the beginning of spring. By the way, Zhang Haogu also said that he wants to capture you Da Khan alive, and a Baylor... Huang Taiji! Yes, it is Huang Taiji Baylor!"

"What is he going to do with me?" Huang Taiji asked with a sneer.Lu Wanling kowtowed and replied: "Master Baylor, Zhang Haogu barbarian didn't say what to do to you, he just said that he would take away your wife named Da Yuer and make him a slave girl! He also said that Da Yuer was born this year. 12 years old is too young, let's train it for a few years before ruining it, I will put a big green hat on you!"
