Chapter 367
Outside the pass in early September, the weather that was already cooling down gradually became hot again because of the war.

From the Yalu River to Jinning, from Jinning to Shanhaiguan, from Shanhaiguan to the Yellow River, over thousands of miles, there seems to be the shadow of war.

Liaodong outside the pass, Shenyang, which is Shengjing.

Huang Taiji is discussing matters with Zhong Baylor and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Although Huang Taiji is the Khan of Dajin, due to previous reasons, there are more than one people who "sit north and south" with him. Apart from him, there are other three Baylors, Le Daishan, Amin, and Manggur Tai, these three people, according to different months, can still "be worth the month" and have great power. After Huang Taiji came to power, although he also had some achievements, he suffered a loss when he attacked the Jinning line of defense last year. Therefore, this Dajin Khan The seat is still not very stable, and when encountering major events, it must be discussed, and one cannot make the decision alone.

"Last month when we formed an alliance with Harqin, we agreed that we will help them fight Lin Danhan this month. However, this month, it seems that the Ming Dynasty suddenly became bolder and started fighting with us first... Mao Wenlong seems It's coming out in full force, let's talk about what to do." Huang Taiji said with a bitter face.

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted: "Those poor lambs of the Ming Dynasty, what are you afraid of? Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair, as long as you give me [-] iron cavalry, even if they come to [-], I will pay you." Don't be afraid..."

"it is good!"

"kill!"

"That's right, the people of the Ming Dynasty are all lambs... they should be killed..."

Everyone clamored to support the person who spoke just now, and the scene was chaotic in an instant.

Huang Taiji usually valued a few Hanchens, but on this occasion, they didn't dare to intervene, for fear of being troubled by those barbarians.

Huang Taiji looked at those "brain tanks", all of them lowered their heads and didn't speak, so Huang Taiji had to come out and say it himself, the Jurchens look down on them, and it's not a day or two to bully Han Chen, even though those few people do At the top of Hanchen, however, their Jurchens can find a few random people to insult and bully those Hanchens. Those Hanchens are afraid of being bullied, and when they encounter problems, they dare not argue with the Jurchens. They are serious.

"The lambs of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of Ben Khan. However, I have agreed with Karaqin to fight Lin Dan Khan this month. That guy Mao Wenlong is holding back his legs, which is more or less affected. I heard that Mao Wenlong Divide his soldiers into three classes, first-class field soldiers, second-class garrison soldiers, and third-class rural soldiers? This time his field soldiers seem to have come out in full force, and we have to pay more attention. Mao Wenlong is a slippery guy. Hand, if you are not careful, you will suffer from him... I heard that Yuan Manzi of Jinning has also made a move, and he also sent out his field soldiers, and he is going to fight us..." Huang Taiji is now It's Khan, but the rules are not as big as in the future, and there are shadows of bandit groups everywhere.

Speaking of Mao Wenlong, the "Manchu civil and military" are all quiet, Mao Wenlong is a scourge, this is their unanimous understanding, this scourge is specially taking advantage of your inattention, sneak up to bite you, bite you and run away, you don't care about him , he took a hard bite, tore a piece of flesh from your body, and got serious with him, but he retreated to the sea again...

"Bah...! Mao Wenlong, that bastard, I'll lead the soldiers to kill him..." A big Baylor couldn't bear the fuss and yelled loudly.

"Yes, go and kill him..."

"Yes, kill the bastard Mao Wenlong."

The crowd clamored again, it seemed that Mao Wenlong was dying.

Huang Taiji quickly suppressed it, and said: "If Mao Wenlong is so easy to destroy, there is still Mao Wenlong now? Amin, Mao Wenlong has [-] elite soldiers this time, and you deal with him the most. What do you think is different this time? Or How should I deal with it?"

Among the few people who sat "facing south" like Huang Taiji, one of them was Amin, and said: "Khan, this is easy, just give Amin eight thousand cavalry, and guarantee that Mao Wenlong will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, so many people will die." How much...hahaha..."

Everyone laughed again, as if Mao Wenlong was just a clown.

Huang Taiji was more sensible, he knew the most about the Ming Dynasty, and had analyzed it for the longest time. Without further ado, he said: "Mang Gurtai, Yuan Manzi is almost [-] elite. What do you think, how many troops are needed to settle it?"

The same person in "Facing the South" said: "Khan, Yuan Manzi, if you have [-] soldiers capable of fighting, you may need [-] cavalry to be sure. If you don't have less, you will not be able to do it. Yuan Manzi still has a lot of strength." Yes, there are so many generals under him..., I, Mang Gurtai, don't worry about it..." This person spoke in a softer voice, and when he talked about Yuan Chonghuan, he was quite respectful.

After listening to his words, the crowd didn't make too much fuss. They fought many tricks with Yuan Manzi, and although they were able to gain the upper hand, Yuan Manzi still had a few capable generals under his command. This was indeed troublesome. Two, it's not a shame.

"Okay, Manggurtai needs [-] yuan, and Amin needs [-] yuan. This is the elite of [-] yuan. Ben Khan promised the Karaqin Ministry last month to fight Lindan Khan. No matter what Wan, otherwise there is no certainty. Lin Danhan is now mixed up with the Ming Dynasty and has received a lot of support from the Ming Dynasty. In this way, nearly [-] elites have gone to Shengjing. Does Shengjing still need to be guarded? How much do we have in total? Elite? Such a score, there are not enough people to watch. This time, the Ming Dynasty suddenly made a move, and the timing was well chosen, which is quite unfavorable to our Daikin..." Huang Taiji's mood has been getting worse and worse recently. At the beginning of this month, it was discussed and planned to fight Lin Danhan. However, Ming Dynasty seemed to have known the news a long time ago, and started a war before him, trying to hold him back and make his idea of ​​fighting Lin Danhan come to nothing.

Hearing Huang Taiji's analysis, the civil and military ministers of the "Great King" in the "Great Hall" were silent.

"Khan, why are you afraid of them? We defeated 10 people back then, so why are we afraid of his 4 or [-] people today?"

"Ben Khan is not afraid of them, but feels that things are a little strange. The famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, Man Gui, and Zhao Lijiao seem to be no longer under Yuan Manzi, nor are they in Jinning. Where are they? Will they not be used?" Huang Taiji asked.

"Don't care where he is, are you afraid they won't succeed?"

"Ah..., this time, I'm afraid Harqin won't be able to please..." Huang Taiji said suddenly.

Everyone looked at Huang Taiji in surprise.

"Khan, what does this mean?" Someone asked in confusion.

With a bitter face, Huang Taiji said: "This time, there was such a big commotion in the Ming Dynasty. Mao Wenlong's soldiers came out in full force, Yuan Manzi was the same, and even Lin Danhan seemed to be about to move. Such a big move has already surrounded me. Lin Danhan and the Ming Dynasty are back-to-back, forming a line, tantamount to separating me from Dajin and Karaqin, I am afraid that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will attack Karaqin in Monan..."

"Ah!" Everyone was surprised!It was always the Mongols who harassed the Ming Dynasty, and now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dared to send troops out to fight the Mongols.

"Khan, no way, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dared to do this? That young emperor?" Someone asked incredulously.

Huang Taiji continued to make a bitter face, and said: "Now, the situation is very obvious. They have entangled my Dajin from several sides and cut off the connection between my Dajin and the various tribes of Karaqin. The generals entered the customs early again. Isn’t this a conspiracy? What’s more, most of the Monan Mongolia has been killed by that idiot Lin Danhan, and it’s not as good as before. I'm afraid that as long as we send out an elite group, we can take Karaqin lightly... I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also created a Mongolian Imperial Army to gather the Mongolian tribes..." The more he said, the less confident Huang Taiji was, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty You can see that he has gone farther than him, and when the situation comes to an end, he can only resist.

"Ah!" Everyone was surprised again!
"Then Khan, didn't you say that the Kalaqin tribes are doomed this time? Didn't the matter of forming an alliance with us just blow up..."

Huang Taiji still had a bitter face, and said: "It's not too far away. Now I can only send a fast horse to remind Karaqin. I hope it will be useful..." Huang Taiji still has a few cards in his hand, and he is also ready to go. And fight out, in addition to sending people to inform the tribes of Karaqin in Monan to be careful of the Ming Dynasty people, Huang Taiji also plans to contact the Tumed tribes and the Mongolian right wing of the Wordus tribes, and ask them to send troops to contain the Ming Dynasty and defend themselves. To gain time.

Huang Taiji calculated that the southward advance was blocked by the Jinning defense line of the Ming Dynasty, and it was quite difficult to penetrate the Jinning defense line. He tried it once last year, but failed. If he goes south, he can only go west and take the idea of ​​the Mongols. By bypassing Mongolia and attacking the interior of the Ming Dynasty, he can plunder more property. In this way, he can survive. His only choice, Lin Danhan is just a small stone on the way to the west, just kick it away, once Lin Danhan kicked it away, the side wall thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty wanted to defend his iron cavalry, that's really The most common thing is that idiots talk in their dreams, attack at any point, and run away if they plunder. The people of the Ming Dynasty have no time to react, and there is almost no risk. Fighting soldiers, there are wars every year. If you can't strengthen yourself through plunder, it won't be long before Dajin himself will collapse.

In this "great hall", everyone finally felt a little bit of pressure. The people of the Ming Dynasty dared to launch attacks from several fronts on a territory thousands of miles away. This was beyond most people's understanding. Is this still the Ming Dynasty?

Because Huang Taiji knew a lot, the pressure was even greater. Just because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could accurately know the day when he sent troops, and launched an offensive before he sent troops, this alone made him feel a lot of pressure, that is, Said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knew his every move, and the "transparent" vision before had become blurred now. Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was very irritable, and a bad omen hung in his heart.

"Mang Gurtai, bring a handful of the Ming Dynasty's internal construction and show it to everyone. In addition, bring a few hand grenades from the Ming Dynasty, and let everyone have a look..." Huang Taiji was worried Very soon, at this juncture when the fight is about to start, I remembered something again, and I am going to remind everyone first.

After a while, Mang Gurtai came in with a big gun and a few grenades in his hands. This was specially made by Huang Taiji. Today, I just want to remind everyone, don't eat it The loss of the new weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji explained while fiddling with Da Nei Zao: "This kind of musket was called Da Nei Zao in the Ming Dynasty. It can be fired without a match, and it can penetrate cotton armor within fifty steps. Everyone, be careful... "

Everyone didn't say much. Everyone has heard of this big internal construction. It is a first-class musket nowadays. Even the Mongols who "don't like muskets" are full of praise for this musket, praising this musket Good quality and great power.A cloud of darkness shrouded the hall. Their Dajin relied on their brave charge. Now that this kind of musket is released, it poses a great threat to them. If you hit them, you may die. This is not good news for generals like them who need to take the lead in charging.

"This is called a grenade. It is specially used to defend the city. When you use it, you have to unscrew the cover, light the matchstick and throw it out. It is said that it is quite powerful. When you attack the stockade or fort, be careful, don't throw it once." There are too many people around, I heard that this kind of grenade can be thrown hundreds of times at a time, if the crowd is too dense, I am afraid that it will be ruined by this kind of thing..." Huang Taiji was very depressed, this kind of thing was specially aimed at them. Jin didn't have artillery, and he didn't have anything with a long range to attack the city. To attack the city, he had to build a ladder. When he thought of hundreds of these things flying out of the village, Huang Taiji's heart palpited!
The faces of the people were even darker. They had heard of this thing, and some people had seen it. In the recent confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, some people from the Ming Dynasty used this kind of thing. It was not used when defending the city. Suddenly, a few iron bumps will be thrown out, and then there will be a few loud noises, and then the chaser will disappear, or the horse will be frightened!How can I be unfamiliar with this thing after suffering a great loss.

Huang Taiji was very depressed. Seeing that the faces of the people were not good, he knew that the weapons he displayed had hurt everyone's confidence. This matter should not be said at this time. However, if he did not say it at this time, he would not remind everyone. On the battlefield, Huang Taiji was so depressed that he didn't know how many people would die. He wanted to smash the grenade in his hand.

Although this matter hurt everyone's emotions, this matter is not over yet, and the latest news has to be told to them. Huang Taiji only begged and finished it by himself, as long as the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty still have a little courage.

"Recently, I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty made a large Kongming lantern that could carry people to the sky. On the large Kongming lantern, if you use a telescope to observe the situation, you can have a panoramic view of dozens of miles around. , So, everyone, in the future when we meet people from the Ming Dynasty, if the other party releases a large Kongming lantern and there are people on it, don’t make too much fuss, understand? You should pay more attention, the other party can see us clearly... After finishing speaking, Huang Taiji wanted to slap himself in the mouth.The complexion of everyone was darkened by what he said. The "main hall", which was very lively just now, became lifeless, and even the few people who liked to contradict him the most, stopped talking, and kept silent with dark faces. Many people looked at themselves with surprised and shocked eyes.

Huang Taiji didn't want to announce this news at first, but after much deliberation, he still felt that it would be better to give everyone a basic idea first. Huang Taiji was afraid that he didn't have a good foundation. When everyone went out to fight and suddenly encountered someone "flying" in the sky, he was afraid that it would damage morale. The blow was even greater, and I was afraid that it would collapse on the spot.After much deliberation, Huang Taiji still told the news, at least he was prepared.

In the "main hall", everyone sullenly, the clamor just now disappeared.Many people still can't understand why Kongming lanterns can carry people to the sky, and what to do if they fall?
……

"No, no, no..." In Shanhaiguan, a "weapon shop" specializing in selling guns, Yang Liu was bargaining with the gun sellers.

"Brother, please, although we only have twelve people, we really need 24 guns. We are all veterans of guns. It is no problem for one person to have two guns. We are small, and one person has two guns." Gun, this can also be used as two small flags, right? Brother, please, be lenient, be lenient, we are going to hunt Tartars, headhunters..." Yang Liu had endless good things to say to that The shop waiter, however, the shop waiter disagreed with twelve people giving 24 guns.

"Brother, brother..." Yang Liu had endless good things to say.

"Who is making such a fuss?" A man who looked like a shopkeeper came out from the inner room. He heard the quarrel between the outside staff and the customers, so he came out specially to find out what happened.

"Shopkeeper, it's like this. These people have a total of twelve people. According to the regulations, the small ones can only sell them twelve guns. They dare not sell them more. They just want 24 guns, which is two guns per person. , I am entangled here..." The shop assistant hurriedly explained to his shopkeeper.

"Oh? Is that so?" The shopkeeper glanced at Yang Liu and his party.

"Hehe, this shopkeeper, it's like this. We want to use two guns per person. In this way, we can be more sure when hunting heads. Please be more flexible." Yang Liu said, they were playing with muskets back then, so it was considered Experts with guns, not many people came this time. After referring to the performance of the new Ouchi, it was decided that one person would have two shots. Batch people, then cut off their heads and run away.

"Hehe, brother! It's not that we are intolerant. Only when we have roads, household registration, and a license issued by the local government can we buy guns here. One shot per person, real-name registration, and we will never sell more. Brother, if you want more Get a few shots, hehe, to put it bluntly, brother is not famous now, and he has not hunted any heads. If he is famous, he can hunt many heads, let alone two shots, even if it is other good things, I decide It’s okay to sell you some, but unfortunately, my brother is not well-known and has no head. I sold this gun exclusively... This gun is now on the grassland, it is very valuable..., hehe, okay, listen to my brother, don't make trouble here, the hunter's head is the most important thing, and you can talk when you have a head..." The shopkeeper may have experienced many such things, so he said disapprovingly.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Yang Liu felt hopeless.

However, the shopkeeper sized Yang Liu up and said, "Looking at my brother's physique, I'm afraid you must have been in the army all year round, right? Just now you said that you are all veterans of using guns. Could it be that you are a frontier soldier? Are you from that place?" The shopkeeper came Interested, all of this group of people are strong and strong, and they are very different from ordinary people. It seems that they have been in the army all year round, and they may be veterans. Therefore, they are interested in people like Yang Liu.

"This shopkeeper, we are all from Fugu County, Shaanxi. Hehe, it is true that we used to be frontier soldiers and served in the army all the year round. That's why we dare to boast that we are familiar with guns. The shopkeeper has probably heard of it. Our place has suffered a lot this year. We were hit by a disaster and couldn’t survive. Thanks to the kindness of the Holy Son of Heaven, we caught up with the immigrants, so we are no longer in the army. We were going to the south, but we are on the way, but I heard that the Holy Son of Heaven is outside this pass. Liaodong set up a bounty for the heads of the Tartars, so I wanted to take advantage of my youth and strength to see if I could get some money to spend." Yang Liu gave a rough account of their origins, this is not a fabrication. Basically true.

"Well, no wonder. Looking at my brother's posture, I know that my brother has been on the battlefield. Yes, yes, Fugu County? Shaanxi Fugu County? Oh...but Shaanxi Fugu County? Mr. Shi Kefashi's Fugu County?" The shopkeeper seemed to think of something, and asked suddenly.

"This shopkeeper is indeed from Fugu County, Shaanxi. Our immigration officer is indeed surnamed Shi Kefa. I don't know the shopkeeper..." Yang Liu asked strangely.

"Oh, no wonder, no wonder, buddy, show me the household registration, road slip, and license certificate..." The shopkeeper ignored Yang Liu, and instead asked the buddy for the household registration, road slip, and license slip, because It has the official seal and signature of the official on it.

The shopkeeper looked carefully at the handwriting on the receipt for a while, and then smiled and said: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Shi, Shi Kefa, Shi Xianzhi, yes, yes, hehe, this Mr. Shi is a famous person now! I heard that in your county, all the officials are promoted to a higher level, and those who have no official titles are given to officials. I heard that a guy named Li who didn't even have any official titles was appointed as an official. Now I'm famous..." The shopkeeper's gossip broke out in his heart, and he began to dig out the most popular gossip in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Liu was shocked, Fugu County still has this thing?Then he said: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, we came out early, and we still haven't heard of this matter, but Mr. Shi knows me, we have met several times, and talked a few times. That surname is Li, The one who has no fame is probably Li Hongji, that kid is strong and strong, and he has indeed done a lot for the immigration, and we are all his successors..." Yang Liu began to gossip with the shopkeeper.

After talking for a while, the shopkeeper almost completely agreed with Yang Liu's identity, and said enviously: "My brother, for the sake of you coming from Fugu County and for the sake of Mr. Shi, the elder brother is the master." , to give you some care, buddy, sell them 24 guns, and in addition, give this brother Yang a pistol, the account will be on my head, and in addition, prepare a batch of grenades for them, and let them teach them how to use them ..." The shopkeeper is extremely generous in giving guns and grenades at the same time. The reason for his enthusiasm is entirely due to the Dibao. , Fugu County and Shi Kefa have become "stars", and the shopkeeper gave Yang Liu a lot of discounts for the sake of "stars". It was reported by the mansion.

Yang Liu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. How could he still have so many discounts from Fugu County?To know this, you should bring more people over.
