(PS: The second update has been delivered, please continue to ask for tickets.)
"Hahahaha...! Tanhualang, Tanhualang, you really didn't disappoint me! It was thanks to you that you hurried back to the capital from Shandong, otherwise I would have to come to Liaodong alone to take up the post, I really don't know what to do!"

The day when the mistake happened was the day of eating Laba porridge in the fifth year of Tianqi. At that time, Master Zhang had just sent a letter to Shanhaiguan about the layout of Jinzhou city defense and his plan to urge Jiannu to slow down the attack. Knowing that the Jiannu army had fallen into the trap jointly set up by him and Young Master Zhang, Gao Di Gao, the governor of Liaodong, who had cried and dared not come to Liaodong to take up his post, was unavoidably excited, knowing that he might be the first one in Liaodong. The Liaodong Economic Strategy made this court official who had retreated from this unlucky position.But at this time, the soldiers came to report, "I want to report to Master Supervisor, Mr. Yuan Chonghuan, Mr. Yuan Chonghuan and Mr. Jin Qiyu, the general judge of Jinyou Liangtun, have come and said that they have something to see."

"Let them in." Mr. Gao, who was in a great mood, agreed without hesitation.The soldiers led away, and after a while, Yuan Chonghuan and Jin Qiyi were brought in angrily. As soon as they met, Yuan Chonghuan didn't salute, and asked angrily: "Master Gao, I heard that Zhang Haogun The kid went up to impeach Mr. Jin, saying that the amount of grain stored in Jinzhou and Youtun did not match the accounts, and he wanted the court to hold Mr. Jin accountable? Is there such a thing?!"

"There is such a thing." Gao Di admitted with a nod, and explained with a smile: "Jin Qizheng reported to the imperial court that the grain in Jinyou Tun was 20 shi, but Zhang Haogu went there and found that there were only more than 12 shi. Nearly 4000% of them are gone, so of course Zhang Haogu has to go to court for impeachment."

"Master Gao, you are wronged!" Jin Qizheng rushed to Gaodi and knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and cried, "Jinyou's grain storage is indeed 20 shi! Except for being taken to Liuhe by Ma Shilong After losing seven or eight thousand shi, there should be about 19 shi left! Even if the humble official eats the guts of a leopard, he wouldn’t dare to covet a piece of rations from Mo Jinyou’s army! Senior Governor, you have to make the decision for the humble official!”

"Governor Gao, please don't listen to one-sided remarks!" Yuan Chonghuan also roared angrily: "Tens of thousands of shi army rations are not a small number, who is playing tricks in the middle, please investigate carefully! Jinyou's rations have successively Jin Qizheng, Ma Shilong, Zhao Liaojiao, and Zhang Haogu are all suspected of being greedy for ink, how can you insist that it is Jin Qizheng who is greedy for ink? I hope you will investigate carefully, and don't just listen to Zhang Haogu's words!"

"Don't worry, I will never wrong Mr. Jin just by listening to one side of the story." Gao Di comforted him with a smile: "That kid Zhang Haogu is meticulous in his work. When he found that Jinyou's army rations were missing, he immediately sealed up the Jinyou granary. Mr. Jin’s original food officer Zhang Haogu ordered them to be detained. I heard that some of them planned to escape, but they were caught by Ma Shilong himself. They are now locked in the Jinzhou Prison. The people in the factory are dedicated to guarding. When the time comes, the imperial court will send people down to investigate, who is right and who is wrong, and the truth will definitely be revealed."

Yuan Chonghuan and Jin Qizheng's expressions changed slightly, and when they exchanged glances, they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.Just at this time, another soldier came in and reported, "Master Supervisor, the father-in-law sent by the imperial court has arrived, saying that it is about Lord Yu, Governor of Liaodong." Gaodi knew that it must be the order to dismiss Yu Anxing When he arrived, he didn't dare to neglect, so he got up quickly and said, "Quickly, follow me to meet the imperial envoy, and then send someone to deliver a letter to Mr. Yu, and ask him to meet him too." Then, Gaodi asked Yuan Chonghuan and Jin Qiyi again: "Yuan My lord, my lord Jin, are you going?"

"The lowly officials are former Ning officials, so I won't go." Yuan Chonghuan was still in the mood to flatter the eunuch who passed the decree, but he just refused.Gao Di was weak and easy-going, and he didn't care about it, he just nodded and said: "Okay, then you all sit here and wait a while, I will come when I go, and I will talk about it later if there is anything to do."

Gao Di led his soldiers out, Jin Qizhen's face became even more ugly, and he said to Yuan Chonghuan in fear: "My lord, I can't imagine that Zhang Haogu is so ruthless, and he is sealing the account and arresting people. The officials have arrived in Jinzhou, then..." Yuan Chonghuan kept silent, after a long silence, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly caught a glimpse of the letter just sent by Young Master Zhang on Gaodi's book case, and seeing that there were no one around, Yuan Chonghuan took courage In the past, I picked up Young Master Zhang's letter, opened it and read it with Jin Qizheng.

Of course, Young Master Zhang did not hide anything in his letter to Gaodi, so Jin Qiyi immediately came to his senses after only a few glances. Didn’t the little eunuch shout to attack Haizhou? Why did he try his best to reinforce the city walls? He made Gao Diguang shout the slogan of transporting grain and not move? Does he want to attack the city or defend it?”

"We may have all been tricked by Zhang Haogu and Gao Di!" Who is Yuan Chonghuan, and how could he be as stupid as Jin Qizhen?So after reading it quickly, Yuan Chonghuan's black face turned white with anger, and he said through gritted teeth: "That little dog didn't intend to attack from the beginning, but just wanted to defend Jinzhou, but the city wall of Jinzhou is dilapidated and needs time to repair and strengthen it." , so he deliberately played a play with Gaodi, not only deceiving us, but also cheating the Jiannu in Shenyang, making Jiannu covet the military supplies that Gaodi sent him, so he stopped the troops and freed up Xiucheng Time! Damn it! This little dog is not only more hateful than I imagined, but also more sinister than I imagined!"

"Master Yuan, what should we do then? If that little dog wins the battle in Jinzhou and blocks Jiannu, wouldn't the Jinyou grain harvesting matter be more dangerous?" Jin Qizheng asked with a pale face after a whirl of dizziness.Yuan Chonghuan remained silent with a livid face, but he was thinking nervously in his mind, and Jin Qizhen jumped the wall in a hurry, and said with an idea: "Master Yuan, if we are like this, we might as well leak Zhang Haogu's plan to Jiannu secretly. Once Jiannu knows this This matter, Jinzhou will definitely be attacked immediately, as long as Jinzhou City is captured by Jiannu, the imperial court will never want to know about Jinyou's food storage!"

Yuan Chonghuan didn't say a word, but slowly put the letter of Young Master Zhang back to its original place, while Jin Qizhen understood it, and smiled triumphantly...

"Fuck you!" Nuerhachi jumped up and kicked the dragon case in front of him, and yelled at Huang Taiji, who was kneeling in the middle of the great government: "Are you sure this news is true? That little barbarian Zhang what?" , really just intend to defend Jinzhou, that's why you acted with Gao Di, tricking us into not attacking Jinzhou immediately?"

"Ama, this news was sent by a barbarian merchant." Huang Taiji knelt down in front of Nuerhachi with a gloomy face and said slowly: "In order to send this news to Shengjing as soon as possible, the messenger of the barbarian merchant ran away Two fast horses died. Although he did not say the source of the news, I can guarantee it with my life. The news is absolutely reliable! We were indeed fooled. Not only did we miss the best time to attack Jinzhou and capture Jinyou Tun’s grain, Moreover, the messenger Zhang Haogu Manzi sent last time was actually a counterintuitive, he misled us with a series of false information, and caused us to waste a lot of precious time." (Note)
"What day is today?" Nuerhachi asked with a livid face.Huang Taiji replied: "Back to Ama, today is the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Then why are you still standing there?" Nuerhachi roared angrily: "Immediately pass the decree, within three days, all the Eight Banners troops will be assembled, and within ten days, the Eight Banners troops will come to the city of Jinzhou! I want to capture that little barbarian alive." Capture him alive and boil him alive in a big iron pot!"

I have to admit that in this era, in all aspects, the Jiannu Eight Banners is indeed the most powerful army in the world—no one, in just three days, more than 13 Jiannu Eight Banners have assembled (Note), the siege weapons required for various sieges have also been prepared adequately.Nurhachiliu's third son, Aixinjueluo Abai, took Tabai and Babutai to guard Shengjing. Under the personal leadership of Nuerhachi, they crossed the Sancha River by way of Haizhou and went straight to Jinzhou!At the swearing-in meeting, Nuerhachi blatantly clamored, vowing to crush Jinzhou and Ningyuan, capture Shanhaiguan, and take all the Han people in the Central Plains as slaves!The Jiannu army preparing to go out and the Jiannu old and weak women who saw them off cheered happily, as if this trip was not a battle, but a hunt. The joy came from the heart, like a group of demons dancing wildly!
Limited by the ability of scouts and the lack of detailed intelligence support, it was not until the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month that the vanguard brigade of the slave-building army led by Mang Gurtai, the fifth son of Nurhachi, appeared on the other side of the Sancha River, and Master Zhang learned about it from Jinzhou scouts. News that the slave army has arrived.When the scout covered in slush stumbled up the city wall to report, the faces of the Jinzhou generals who were accompanying Young Master Zhang to inspect the construction of the fort, including the battle-tested Ma Shilong and Man Gui, all changed their faces, and Mao Yuanyi was even more so. The sketch of the city defense was so frightened that it fell to the ground, and screamed: "Only two of the four forts have been repaired, and the other two are only half repaired. Why did Jiannu come here? How can this be good?"

"Jiannu came so quickly?" Young Master Zhang was also a little surprised, but at this critical moment, Young Master Zhang showed unimaginable courage and composure, and asked the scout with a smile: "How many Jiannu have come? Do you know? When did you arrive at the Sancha River? Is the Sancha River frozen?"

"The villain was discovered by Jiannu's scouts, and he was in a hurry to report back, so he didn't have time to investigate carefully, and a war horse ran and died on the road." The scout replied panting, "But the villain clearly saw that Jiannu The main banner of the slaves is the Jiannu Zhenglan Banner, and there is also a Mongolian Niulu Banner! Also, the villain found the army of Jiannu soldiers in the Sancha River the night before yesterday. no problem."

"Thank you for your hard work. You bought Jinzhou at least one day. Go back and tell your superiors that you will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver." Young Master Zhang calmly praised the scouts, and calculated the enemy's strength: "Jiannu Zhenghuangqi , Mang Gurtai, the banner owner, commanded 21 Niulu, each with 500 slaves, plus officers and generals, a total of about 8000 people. Now there are only two Niulu flags in the Jiannu army, each about 500 People, that is to say, the number of Jiannu's army is about [-]. If this is just Jiannu's vanguard army, it seems that Jiannu's army this time is at least more than [-], Nuer Hachi old slaves are on the move."

"It should be like this. Master Bingbei remembers the establishment of Jiannu very clearly." Ma Shilong agreed, wiping cold sweat—even though snowflakes the size of duck feathers had already fallen in the sky, Ma Shilong's forehead was still dripping with cold sweat, and the other generals also Not much better than him.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in all battles." Young Master Zhang boasted without blushing, and then ordered loudly: "Wu Xiang obeys the order, I order you to be in charge of scout dispatching from now on, and closely monitor every move of the Jiannu army. If you make a move, if there is any situation, please report to me immediately! Commander Zhao listens to the order, and I order you to dispatch the army immediately, and organize the people outside the city to log and transport rocks to return to the city to avoid the flames of war! Wu Liuqi listens to the order, and I order you to lead five hundred soldiers immediately, Immediately capture the found slaves in the city and hand them over to the Dongchang slaves brought by the official, torture your accomplices, and make sure to wipe out all the insiders of the slaves in the city! Ma Shilong obeys the order, you immediately dispatch troops to garrison the streets in the city and the granary arsenal , Strictly prevent turmoil in the city! At the same time, send troops to the city walls, prepare for battle at all times, and strictly control the city gates!"

"The final general obeys orders!" The four generals, Wu Xiang, Zhao Liaojiao, Wu Liuqi and Ma Shilong clasped their fists together and agreed.Ma Shilong asked again: "Master Zhang, the people outside the city are mixed, and the newly arrived Jinzhou slave spies may take the opportunity to sneak into the city. Are the people selected to enter the city?"

"I don't have time to come. I can't let the people outside the city lose their lives because of a few Jiannu spies, and put them all in the city." Young Master Zhang replied in a deep voice.Ma Shilong respectfully agreed, and Young Master Zhang turned to Mao Yuanyi and ordered: "Lord Mao, the vanguard of Jiannu arrived at Sancha River the night before yesterday. With their usual marching speed, if there is no accident, they may arrive at the city of Jinzhou before sunset tomorrow. I order you to command the minfu to complete the remaining two forts within this time! It doesn’t matter if the repair is rough, and it can be used while watering and solidifying. You can tell the minfu that these four forts are Jinzhou City The key to whether they can keep it, if they want to survive, they have to work hard for me!"

"I will do my best." Mao Yuanyi also knew that time was running out, so he reluctantly agreed.Young Master Zhang turned to Man Gui, the main force of the battle who had not received the order, and said very seriously: "General Man, you take Hei Yunlong and Ma Dengyun, and come with me into the tower. There are some things and some things to say." , now is the time to tell you."

Note: In Chapter 1634, Pure Wolf mistakenly wrote Shengjing in Nuerhachi's mouth as Shenyang. Taiji changed Shenyang to Shengjing', so it made a mistake.After being pointed out by a book friend, Pure Wolf consulted the book "The Complete History of the Qing Dynasty" by Jilin Literature and History Publishing House, and found that Shenyang was indeed renamed Shengjing by Nuerhachi, a slave in 1625. I hereby correct and apologize, and I must pay attention to it in the future. .

Note: In 1625, the establishment of the slave army consisted of only the Eight Banners and two Mongolian cattle records, which were created by the slave Nurhachi.The Eight Banners of Mongolia began in 1629, the third year of Tiancong's founding, the Eight Banners of Han began in 1642, and the seventh year of Chongde was established by Jiannu Huang Taiji.
