Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 347 Mutiny

As we all know, our Young Master Zhang is a vicious character who can say what he can and can do it. If he said that Jiannu would not go to the decisive battle in the camp, he would go to the gate of the Jiannu camp every day to smash the field. In the end, the next day, On October [-]th, the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, Young Master Zhang really led a large group of accomplices and lackeys to make trouble in front of the gate of Jiannu Camp.What's more ruthless and vicious is that Young Master Zhang even asked the soldiers of the Ming army to shout slogans this time, directly shaking off the news that the troops of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong of the Ming army had rushed into the hinterland of Jiannu to kill and set fire, threatening that if Jiannu didn't If you come out to fight yourself, then you will order Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to create ten more Shengjing massacres in Liaodong, kill the parents, wives and children of the soldiers and generals who built slaves, and peel off the scalps of their families to make cold-proof leather shoes!As a result, the enslavement camp immediately became lively...

"Master, master, the barbarian army has sneaked into our rear again, is it true?" Countless slave soldiers rushed to their respective generals, and asked their master for news in fear, "Master, where did the barbarian army go?" " "Master, this news can't be true, right?" "Master, does the Great Khan know about this?" "Master, is our family okay?"

There are many similar problems, overwhelming the mid-level generals at the grassroots level of Jiannu. Under nervousness, many Jiannu soldiers simply forgot the current danger of the enemy, and left their posts to inquire about the news. The scene that the young master created in Shengjing was really terrifying, and the aftermath has not dissipated until now. Whenever Jiannu soldiers recalled the astonishing and miserable scene in Shengjing, they still feel lingering fears. The wolf-like Ming army marched into Liaodong, and once again raised the butcher's knife against the parents, wives and children of the Jiannu soldiers.The generals who built slaves were sweating profusely. While they were busy waving their horsewhips to beat the soldiers who had left their posts to reorganize their military discipline, they had to explain earnestly, "Don't listen to the barbarians' nonsense, Zhang Haogu's favorite thing is to spread rumors Sorry, our rear is safe, very safe."

Explanations belong to explanations, but most Jiannu generals are still very guilty. They are not sure whether the news that the soldiers of the Ming army shouted outside the camp is true, and they are extremely worried about the safety of their wives and children behind. Don't force yourself to be calm and perfunctory to your subordinates, so as not to collapse the morale of the army. Only a small number of slave generals at the rank of participating in the leadership are eligible to run in front of the banner owner and quietly inquire about the truth of this matter.After a little half an hour of commotion, Huang Taiji, who had already been designated as the prince of Jiannu, walked out of the Jiannu tent and announced the situation to the generals of the Jiannu soldiers, "Soldiers of Dajin, don't listen to the barbarian's rumors! We stay behind The Fourth Prince sent a report this morning, saying that our rear is extremely safe. Mao Wenlong's barbarians attempted to attack Tieling, but the ship was repulsed by our red flag before it landed! Our wives and children in the rear, all Very safe!"

Shouting, Huang Taiji also showed a so-called report sent by Yaerhaqi to calm the morale of the army.Not to mention, after Huang Taiji adopted Fan Wencheng's suggestion and dispatched messengers to each battalion and team to announce the news, the commotion in the Jiannu camp really calmed down a lot, and most of the soldiers who established slaves believed it was true, and their morale rose again. .Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huang Taiji took the opportunity to spread the news that Young Master Zhang was seriously ill and was about to die, announcing in public the next step of Jiannu's strategy, which is to wait for change, and wait for Young Master Zhang, the perverted demon king, to die before going to the arrogant and domineering Ming army. The result was just as Nuerhachi had expected. After hearing the news, the Jiannu soldiers who were terrified of Young Master Zhang immediately burst into cheers and their morale was boosted. Without a trace - after all, the essence of Jiannu is to bully the weak and fear the strong, so it would be better not to mess with Young Master Zhang, a monster who has never been defeated.

The heart-to-heart battle was still going on, and just as Nuerhachi and his son were secretly delighted that their trick to boost morale had succeeded, Amin, the inside line that Young Master Zhang had arranged in the slave camp, also started to attack, ordering four or five thousand soldiers to fight against them. The enslaved soldiers of the Xianglan Banner who obeyed their orders spread gossip, secretly made public the fact that the Yalhaqi messenger was captured by Ming army scouts, and exposed the fact that Nurhachi and his son deliberately concealed the emergency in the rear , and planted the blame, saying that Huang Taiji urged Nuerhachi to block the news, and Nuerhachi decided to deceive the entire army.As a result, although the credibility of the gossip passed in secret was insufficient, it also made many soldiers who established slaves suspicious, and the morale of the army began to waver again.Although Daishan, the regent of Jiannu who was responsible for the defense of the Jiannu camp, was aware of this, but in order to attack his political opponent Huang Taiji, Daishan turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, and missed the last chance to stop the spread of rumors. good chance.

A piece of news that shook the minds of the Jiannu army was spread. After noon, Master Zhang commanded the Ming army to launch a strong attack on the Jiannu camp as usual, and learned the lessons of the previous storm, and asked the Slaughter Army to cover the artillery team. The guns and cannons had the advantage of the range to bombard the Jiannu camp, while the Jiannu side used the sack earth fortress built overnight to defend and resist the Ming army's offensive. The Ming army launched a fierce artillery battle.It wasn't until the artillery bombarded until it was getting dark that both sides had casualties of more than a hundred people, then Young Master Zhang shouted gold and retreated back to the camp cursing.

For the next three days, the Ming army, which was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, kept occupying the main offensive, blocking the army of founding slaves several times its size in the camp and beating them wildly. Entering the Jiannu camp and cursing the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Nurhachi and his son, they did everything possible to provoke Jiannu and lure Jiannu to leave the camp for a decisive battle; It's ugly, like a tortoise hiding in a big camp protected by fortifications. The envoy of the Ming army came to scold him and greeted him with a smile. He suppressed his anger and served tea and water to the envoy of the Ming army. , This is relying on fortifications to guard against death and resist desperately.In this way, in this era when firearms and heavy artillery were still very primitive, the Ming army, which was not dominant in military strength, really had nothing to do with the well-fortified Jiannu camp. The Jiannu side also felt extremely useless. , to express the uselessness suffered in the past two days.

On the afternoon of October [-]th, seeing that it was getting dark, the Ming army, who had failed to attack the camp again, finally rang the gong to withdraw troops. When the slave camp was cheering, the situation changed a little. A group of Ming army soldiers fought Holding a white flag, a Jiannu messenger came to the Jiannu gate, and the Jiannu messenger cried out as soon as he arrived at the door: "Brothers, I am the third rescue messenger sent by Lord Yalhaqi. It's dangerous. The Ming army has already reached Ximu City, killing countless family members of our Dajin soldiers! The Fourth Prince asked the Great Khan for help twice, but the Great Khan didn't send any reinforcements back. This time, the Fourth Prince sent me again. You must tell the Great Khan that if you don’t send reinforcements back, even Haizhou and Tokyo (Liaoyang) will be in danger!”

When the two armies are at war, the chances of the patrolling scouts intercepting and capturing the enemy's messenger are very low. Whether they succeed is basically a matter of luck, and Young Master Zhang has always had mediocre luck on the battlefield. The men of Zonomu, the son-in-law of Manggurtai who had been captured before, went to the gate of the Jiannu camp to spread rumors in order to survive and be bribed by the Ming army.However, the sky was dark, and the Jiannu soldiers and generals couldn't see the messenger's appearance clearly. In addition, the previous rumors were foreshadowed and there were precedents, so even Nuerhachi and his son believed it was true, thinking that they were too unlucky to be arrested by Ming army scouts Arriving at Yalhazi's messenger, his face was extremely ugly for a while, and he felt a little caught off guard. After hearing the news, ordinary Jiannu soldiers and generals at the grassroots level of Jiannu immediately confirmed the previous secrets in the army. The rumors, the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken and low.

"Dog Jiannu, do you hear that?" The Ming army's hundred households leading the team shouted proudly: "You have all been deceived by the wild boar skin old Jiannu, our Daming army has already killed your Haizhou, If you are smart, run back and save your wives and children, as well as your immortal parents! Otherwise, our Ming army will kill all your parents and sons. As for your wives and daughters, Warm the blankets for our Ming soldiers too!"

The answer to the hundreds of households of the Ming army was of course Jiannu's overwhelming feather arrows and shells, but the Ming army's goal had been achieved, so naturally they quickly withdrew from the Jiannu gate with a big smile, and returned to the main force to return to the camp together.And Jiannu is very lively here, no matter how Nuerhachi and his son refuted the rumors and explained that the messenger captured by the Ming army was actually just a counterfeit-in fact, it was true, but the soldiers of Jiannu still couldn't believe it completely. All kinds of rumors are popular in the army, and there are even exaggerated rumors that the Ming army’s surprise soldiers have already attacked Hetuala. Although this statement is obviously too exaggerated, many soldiers who have been frightened into frightened slaves still believe it , morale was low to the brim.

Talking to countless soldiers in the barracks had little effect. The three brothers Daishan, Babuhai, and Lai Mubu who were ordered to refute the rumors had to go back to the big tent to hand over their orders, ready to re-discuss the countermeasures.However, when the three Daishan brothers just entered the big tent, Ningyuan sent another urgent report with a carrier pigeon. Nuerhachi also ignored the matter of the three Daishan brothers for the time being, and turned his attention to the progress of the war in Ningyuan .

"Ama, that barbarian Yuan Chonghuan really has skills." After reading the Ningyuan battle report, Huang Taiji smiled and said to Nuerhachi: "After two of the three forts in Ningyuan were blown up by Sun Chuanting's barbarian digging tunnels and buried gunpowder, Yuan Chonghuan's barbarian He worked overtime day and night to repair two new forts, and blocked Sun Chuanting's barbarian's six sieges. Today, Sun Chuanting's barbarian attacked the city for the seventh time and was repelled by Ningyuan's army. Yuan Chonghuan is now full of confidence in stopping Sun Chuanting's barbarian The only thing is that I am worried that Xiong Tingbi's barbarian army will also join the Ningyuan battlefield, so I hope we can defeat Zhang Haogu's little barbarian as soon as possible, and go south to Ningyuan to relieve the siege, or let us send him a support army with the water army, so that he can hold Ningyuan for a long time. "

"You can't believe the words of the barbarian Yuan Chonghuan, and you will suffer a loss if you believe in him!" Nuerhachi waved his hand decisively, and then sneered: "However, this barbarian has been guarding Ningyuan, which surprises me a little. It's amazing that Yuan Chonghuan, an idiot, can survive 20 days in front of Sun Chuanting's barbarians. Unexpectedly, he not only survived for nearly a month, but also restrained a large number of barbarian troops for us in disguise. It seems that this dog slave is also somewhat useful .”

"Indeed, with Yuan Chonghuan's little fighting ability, it's quite remarkable to be able to hold on to such time." Huang Taiji nodded with the same feeling, and said with relief: "Now it seems that the situation on the battlefield is slowly turning to our advantage. Well, if Yuan Chonghuan can hold on to Ningyuan until Zhang Haogu's little barbarian dies of illness, then even if Xiong Tingbi's old barbarian takes over the command, there will be many problems and hidden dangers in the command, then we will completely eliminate the unfavorable situation on the battlefield. It’s not impossible to reverse it.”

"Never underestimate your enemy, Xiong Tingbi is not that easy to deal with." Nuerhachi taught his son a lesson, then frowned and said: "At least, our current situation is very bad, that idiot Yarhaqi The messenger who came was even stupider than him. He was captured by the barbarian scouts twice in a row. It is difficult to keep the news of the barbarian army attacking our rear. It's completely broken." Speaking of this, Nuerhachi finally remembered the existence of the three Daishan brothers, and then pointed to Daishan and asked: "Second brother, you brought people to refute the rumors, how is the effect?"

"The minister is incompetent, so the effect doesn't seem to be great." Daishan said helplessly: "The generals and soldiers just dare not refute in person, but in private, rumors are spreading very violently, either that the barbarian army has captured Haizhou or has To win Tokyo, what’s even more exaggerated is that there are rumors that the barbarian’s army has already entered Hetuala—these idiots don’t even think about it, in such a short time, even if all the barbarian army has wings, it won’t be so fast.”

"Rumors are so rampant, there must be traitors behind it." Nurhachi said calmly, "It's all those troops spreading rumors, have you found out?"

Daishan's heart trembled, knowing that Nuerhachi must have found out some clues about Amin's little tricks, but he didn't dare to admit it, so he could only bite the bullet and replied: "Back to Ama, my son didn't find out. Someone deliberately fanned the flames and spread rumors."

"Is that true?" Nuerhachi sneered, hooked his fingers to Fan Wencheng, and ordered, "Fan Wencheng, tell your second master, what did you find in the barracks?"

"Zha!" Fan Wencheng slapped Qian'er smartly, and Lang said: "Back to Dahan, back to the second master, the slaves have recently made a secret investigation and found that the generals and soldiers who deliberately spread rumors in the barracks this time were mainly from the Xianglan Banner and the Zhenghong Banner. Many masters also participated in spreading rumors, and besides spreading rumors that the barbarian army had entered Liaodong, they also spread many rumors that were extremely unfavorable to Si Baylor, and almost all the faults were pushed to Si Baylor. Others say that if Sibeile really succeeds to the throne of Emperor Dajin, then the Kingdom of Dajin will be completely over, and every subject of Dajin will die without a place to bury him! Only by letting Dabeile succeed to the throne can Dajin be saved. gold!"

"Is there any evidence?" Nuerhachi deliberately ignored Daishan's swollen face, and said with a smile: "You dog slave, what you say is unfounded. If you can't produce evidence, I will punish your following." committed the crime."

"Back to the big sweat, of course the slave has evidence." Fan Wencheng's nose was flattened with a smug smile on his face, he took out a thick stack of lists from his arms, knelt down on both knees, raised one hand above his head, and shouted Said: "This is the servant and the servant of the servant. The list of the soldiers who spread the rumors of the Xianglan Banner and the Zhenghong Banner was secretly recorded. Please check them out one by one. The crime! The slave will be hacked into pieces and executed Ling Chi!"

"Don't give it to me, give it to your second master." Nuerhachi waved his hand and said deliberately: "Daishan, I will leave this matter to you to investigate, and you will be punished as you find out!" Fan Wencheng also Kneeling up in front of Dai Shan, he raised the list above his head and said respectfully, "Second master, please accept it."

Facing Nurhachi's knocking on the mountain, Daishan's face was of course blue and white, and he wished to find a crack in the ground to get in. He hesitated for a long time before taking the list and agreeing to Nurhachi's order.Nuerhachi said casually again: "Second brother, I understand your thoughts, but do you understand mine? Have you really not seen the gap between you and Lao Ba in all aspects over the years? ?And the old man is kind-hearted and open-minded. It is a good thing for you to be succeeded by him, at least you will not be able to escape the glory and wealth of a prince in the future, understand?"

"My son... I understand." Daishan took a lot of effort to squeeze out these four words from his throat.Nuerhachi pointed to the humble Huang Taiji again, and said solemnly: "Originally, I really wanted to deal with you again for these days, but I decided to forgive you once because I begged for you. You have a chance to get this matter done, and I will not pursue the past. As for Amin, you have to hurry up on the merger and reorganization of the Zhenglan Banner and the Xianglan Banner, even if he didn't betray us and join the barbarians , But what he has done these days has also proved that he is a young man with ulterior motives. Such a person can no longer be kept. When his army is incorporated and his military power is taken back, he should be sent He's gone to see his Ama. So don't get too close to him, you hear?"

"My son, I heard it." Daishan's face turned pale and pale, and he said with difficulty after a while: "Ama, please rest assured, my son knows what to do."

"Very good, you go do what you need to do." Nuerhachi waved his hand, Daishan agreed, turned around and left with heavy steps, and when he walked out of the tent, Daishan vaguely heard Nuerhachi say this again One sentence, "...This is the last chance for him, if he disappoints me again..." Hearing these words, Daishan suddenly seemed to have aged ten years, and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Ama, Ama." He staggered and didn't know how he returned to his general tent. Lying in the general tent and thinking desperately for a long time, Daishan suddenly heard the voice of his fourth son Wakda, and Wa Keda The tone in Keda's voice was still very panicked, as if a catastrophe was imminent, and Dai Shan, who was in an extremely bad mood, couldn't help shouting angrily: "Why are you shouting? I'm not dead yet!"

"Ama, something is wrong!" Wakda stumbled towards Daishan, wiped the sweat off his face and drove away all the Daishan soldiers in the tent, took out a thick envelope from his arms, Trembling, he said: "Ama, take a quick look, the elder brother (Yue Tuo) just sent someone from Yizhou, North Korea, and two of the best horses ran to death along the way, because the matter was too big, so the elder brother sent People who don’t dare to send it directly to Grandpa, so they must give it to you first.”

"What's the big deal?" Dai Shan, an illiterate man, asked impatiently.And the next two words that Wakda said in a low voice made Daishan jump up straight, like falling into an ice cellar, and almost fainted on the spot.After helping Wakda to stand still, Daishan hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Is the matter sure? Could it be Zhang Haogu's scheming again?"

"It's absolutely true!" Wakda whispered in despair: "This envelope contains the marriage letter that the second cousin married his cousin Yaliqi to Zhang Haogu. In addition, there are the handwritten bets of Uncle Ertang and Manzi Song Xiance! If this thing is handed over to Grandpa, Uncle Ertang will be finished, and so will our family!"

"Amin, you traitorous dog who should be put to death by a thousand swords!" Daishan almost went mad, lowered his voice and roared with bloodshot eyes: "If your daughter really can't get married, you can marry me. Why do you want to marry that little barbarian Zhang Haogu? Fortunately, I also vouched for you in front of Ama, guaranteeing that you are not a traitor bought by the barbarian. This time, I am really going to be killed by you! Killed! ——!”
