Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

This counterattack was disastrous, as Iron Blood successfully opened the pocket before it could be opened. After that, he could not escape even if he wanted to, and was forced into the river and drowned, or shot into pieces.

Shengjing was in a hurry and Huang Taiji was in trouble too. He was having a great time fighting in the front, but in a blink of an eye his house was robbed. You destroyed three of my mines and slaughtered the farmers in two of my mines. How could I continue to play if you continued to steal?

But here comes the problem. I have already made my promise. Now a prince and a beile have died in Yangzhou, and I have to avenge them. However, the problem in Liaodong is extremely urgent. An army of 20,000 has been annihilated. This is no longer an ordinary bandit army. I have to deal a heavy blow. If I want to go back, I have to bring all the enemies back.

After much thought, Huang Taiji made a difficult decision. Forget about the peace agreement. He would go to Shandong and rob some of them and come back to provide support immediately!

A gentleman's revenge is never too late. This time he was too hasty. He did not expect that this dog Jiang thief actually had such advanced foreign firearms. No, I have to think of a way! I can't beat you, but can't I steal? Learn from you, and it will be mine. Next time, when I learn it, I must massacre Yangzhou with blood!

I sent a message to Hedgehog Cat, wanting to change Smecta to Xiaoxiba Banner, and Cat Cat replied, saying no! The review must have seen that I am becoming more and more powerful in the meme world, so they deliberately rejected my request!

Volume 357: Chapter Chapter : New Samsung

Huang Taiji was ready to retreat, but with such a large army marching south and suffering so many casualties, now he had gained nothing, tens of thousands of people had died, and the emperor's brother was also gone. Such a result was undoubtedly unacceptable.

For Huang Taiji, such an action was a huge failure. As an emperor, he had to stop the loss as soon as possible, or even make up for it. Then, Dai Ming, the only victim in the late Ming Dynasty, became the Qing army's only choice.

You are the weakest among the three people present. Who should I fight if not you? If I can't beat Jiang Han, can I still beat you? As for the peace agreement, I am a barbarian, I have already entered the country, why would I bother with that nonsense?

Therefore, Huang Taiji immediately decided to split the troops into two groups. Jirgalang would continue to stay in Yangzhou to confront Jiang Han, showing that he was determined to attack Yangzhou. He could not let the Ming Dynasty see that he wanted to withdraw, otherwise they would definitely be prepared. He and Dorgon would personally lead people to Shandong to rob money, food, and people.

Huang Taiji was a master at this maneuver of pretending to build a stronghold while secretly attacking Chencang. In history, there was an action in which Huang Taiji led the Qing army to gallop 500 miles to cut off the Ming army's food supply, thus turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

However, Yangzhou had well-developed waterways and was backed by the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, so the frontal bastions could not be breached. The Qing army's navy knew everything, so there was no way they could carry out the previous operations and could only fight hard. The former Yangzhou city was only captured by the Qing army by relying on artillery to blow down the city walls.

But you ask, can Huang Taiji really swallow this anger? If he can't swallow it, what should he do? Since he can't win the battle on the front line, Huang Taiji has a way.

"Call my fourteenth brother over here."

Who is the Fourteenth Master? Dorgon, upon hearing Huang Taiji's call, was also confused. What does that mean? What's going on?

Dorgon has been keeping a low profile these days, as steady as an old dog. He does whatever his superiors ask him to do and takes the initiative to take on the most difficult tasks. Of course, a few days ago, it was very "unfortunate" that a large number of soldiers in the army were infected with the epidemic and could not go to the front line to attack Jiang Han, so Dorgon had been dealing with the epidemic problems of the soldiers in the rear. The source of this epidemic was discovered by him.

While Dorgon was secretly thinking about whether he had revealed any clues in the past few days, he quickly rushed to Huang Taiji's military tent. After entering the tent, he slapped his sleeves and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Fourteenth brother, please stand up."

After Huang Taiji asked Dorgon to stand up, he asked, "How are the poisoned soldiers in the army doing now?"

It was previously thought to be caused by an epidemic, but now that it has been determined that there is a problem with the food, it is clear that the cause is poisoning, which also made Huang Taiji breathe a sigh of relief.

"Reporting to the emperor, at present, the situation has been basically stabilized with the decoction prescribed by the military medical official and proper measures. The problematic food has also been collected and destroyed."

"Um"

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "I believe you, my fourteenth brother, also know that Liaodong is in danger and the army must go back to rescue it. I plan to divide the army into two groups and go to Shandong to raise money and food first..."

Dorgon lowered his head and listened to Huang Taiji chattering to him, muttering to himself, why are you telling me this? I'm not the commander-in-chief now, so just make the decision yourself, right?

"But..." Huang Taiji changed the subject, and Dorgon perked up, knowing that the serious business was coming. "The body of the old twelfth is still warm. If he leaves like this, wouldn't it make the world laugh at him?"

"Your Majesty means..."

"I want that thief Jiang's head." He patted Dorgon's shoulder and said, "My brother has always been quite capable. After thinking it over, I think the only one who is suitable for this matter is you, my fourteenth brother. I wonder if you have the confidence?"

As he spoke, Huang Taiji came to Dorgon and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Dorgon was shocked when he heard this! He didn't dare to look up, but saw his brother's meaningful expression from the corner of his eye. He knew that he could no longer hide his own affairs.

What happened? The Manchus loved to use spies, and they used them very well. In the late Ming Dynasty, the Manchu spies infiltrated the country like a sieve, and many officials and generals were turned against the government. Dorgon also had a spy unit in his hands, which he carefully trained and secretly trained. The name of the spy was Musen.

Musen is Manchu, meaning tomb. Dorgon had high hopes for this army, and they did not disappoint Dorgon. They were the most elite spies and were led by Dorgon's trusted personal guard, Suksaha, the Bayarahu Zhangjing of the Plain White Banner. Many people are not familiar with this team, but it has another famous name: the Guillotines.

Huang Taiji's performance and letting Dorgon be responsible for the assassination meant that Huang Taiji had known about the Blood Droplet Unit. At the same time, Dorgon also understood that no matter whether the mission was successful or not, after it was over, if he was smart, this unit would no longer belong to him. If he was not smart...

Raising assassins is not a crime that can be easily forgiven.

"Don't worry, my dear brother. I will do my best!"

"Well... go ahead."

The Qing army no longer launched a swift attack, but instead began to confront and fight outside the city. The person who was most anxious about this situation was not the people of Yangzhou, but Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was not only good at fighting, but also good at being an official. His political IQ was only higher than his ability to lead troops in battle. Otherwise, when they were both suppressing bandits, he also contributed half to Sun Chuanting's capture of Gao Yingxiang, the King of Rebellion, and the defeat of Li Zicheng. However, only Hong Chengchou was rewarded and appointed as the commander-in-chief of the three armies. You can think about the twists and turns here carefully.

Hong Chengchou knew very well that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders this time he went south. On the one hand, he had to recapture Yangzhou, and on the other hand, he could not lose face for the Ming Dynasty in front of the Tartars, because Yangzhou was more or less Ming territory. It would not sound good to let the Tartars take it down at will and let them wreak havoc on it.

The initial plan was to send 200,000 Tartars to capture Yangzhou in one fell swoop. He was leading his troops to confront the Tartars. Now you have avenged yourself and got the money, so that's enough. It's a win-win for everyone. You have gained substance and I have gained face. I will report to the court myself, and the emperor will be happy.

But now, the situation is not right. This bunch of useless people have been fighting for Yangzhou City for a month and are still wandering outside the city gate. They have not been able to take it down. Not only that, it seems that these Tartars are planning to set up camp outside Yangzhou City to waste time. How can this be acceptable?

The longer the time goes, the more people will pay attention to it, the more right and wrong will arise, and the more gossip will arise. Will the rebels not seize this kind of handle and make a big fuss about it? When the emperor loses face, it will be like a father who gets hurt when he goes out. Who will be the first one to be punished when he gets home?

It’s him, Hong Chengchou!

Hong Chengchou was anxious, but what could he do? Could he go up and fight the Tartars? Not to mention that he could not possibly defeat the Tartars' 200,000-strong army. If he took action, he would be charged with disrupting the peace talks, and he would never be able to bear the consequences. Hong Chengchou was very careful about his reputation and would not make such a mistake.

So now I can only walk around in the big tent every day, banging my head on the table and muttering, "Damn it, beat him! Why not beat him!"

This is not the end, there are even more outrageous things.

"Today, I received a letter from Tartar"

Sitting in the military tent, Hong Chengchou looked at the generals he had just summoned: "The letter said that the Tartars have sent the Grand Tutor to lead a large army to attack Yangzhou, and hope that I can send troops to help. They only ask me to kill Jiang Han, and they will not take a penny from the city. After the success, they are willing to appoint me as the Grand Tutor. The words in the letter are almost pleading. How about it? Let's take a look? How should I respond?"

"No, absolutely not!"

A general immediately stepped forward and said: "How can the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty make peace with the Jiannu? It is simply a pipe dream!"

"Yes! Have a sweet dream!"

The military officers were filled with indignation and spoke out one after another.

"Yeah," Hong Chengchou nodded, "That's what I mean. The Jiannu, who have been attacking Yangzhou for a long time but failed, actually asked us for help. It's really a fantasy. But now my army is stationed here and has made no achievements. If the court blames us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain."

"Ah... this..."

The generals looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this situation. Just when everyone was at a loss, Cao Bianjiao stepped out and saluted: "General Hong, I have a plan, is it possible?"

"Oh? Do you have a plan too?"

Hong Chengchou looked at Cao Bianjiao and motioned him to continue. It wasn't that he was suspicious of him or anything. Cao Bianjiao had never shown any signs of extraordinary wisdom under his command. Most of the time he was just a good warrior in the front lines. Hong Chengchou didn't have much expectation for such a reckless man to have a plan.

"Why don't we open our sights and take Yangzhou, but instead attack the rebel Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang?"

"Huh?" Hong Chengchou's eyes widened when he heard it. Yes, why didn't I think of it?

"That's interesting. Go on!"

"Yes, Marshal Hong, in my humble opinion, the Jiannu's attack on Yangzhou was blocked, and they asked our army for help, which is enough to show that they are weak. With the current situation, it will take a long time to take Yangzhou. It is meaningless for our army to confront them again. On the contrary, if we can raid Huguang and wipe out Zhang Xianzhong, it will be a great achievement for Marshal Hong. By then, even if Yangzhou is not favorable, Marshal Hong will have room for mediation when facing the emperor's questioning."

"Well, very good, but I would like to make a slight modification. I have been thinking hard, and I am suffering from the fact that I cannot repay the emperor's grace. When the army marched south, I could only watch the Tartars wreak havoc. But in the blink of an eye, I heard that the great thief Zhang Xianzhong was wreaking havoc in Huguang, causing the people's livelihood to wither. I couldn't bear it, so I ordered my subordinate Cao Bianjiao to be the left lieutenant general and lead the troops to wipe out the thief leader Zhang Xianzhong. We must eradicate all evil and live up to the court's cultivation!"

Although Cao Bianjiao couldn't understand why his plan had become the result of the Marshal's hard thinking, he was actually promoted, and the important task of destroying Zhang Xianzhong actually fell on his head! He was so excited to have such an opportunity to earn fame and said, "I obey your command!"

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction. What a good seedling! You go and die, but you take the blame. What a good subordinate! When it comes to rewarding people for their merits in the future, I must include him in the list!

Jiang Han is still unaware of the changes in the outside world. Now he is working at full speed with red eyes, sacrificing resources and drawing cards desperately.

[Capture Success! Congratulations, you have captured the military unit: Zhiling]

Zhuo, it's so hard to ship! ! After all the hard work, I got a widow mine!

Cursing inwardly, Jiang Han continued to pour resources into the pool. The Zhiling was a small self-propelled minelayer of the military. It moved very quickly and carried several mines of different specifications. The steel claws under its body could help it dig and lay mines quickly. It was nicknamed the Widow Mine by Jiang Han, a dual-role commander in StarCraft.

“Go, go, go! I must draw the good stuff this time! Ten in a row, give it to me!”

[Capture successful, congratulations on obtaining the unit: Wolf Spider]

Suddenly, a purple light flashed [Congratulations on obtaining the military unit; Otreus]

Image url: "Images/1664318151-100274913-109406072.jpg

Image information: "Euterus",

Otreus? Jiang Han turned the name over in his mind and suddenly remembered: "Oh! Iron Dog!!"

This thing in the game looks a bit ugly, with a big square head and a short body like a Chow Chow. It looks stupid and has very low damage. Its only feature is that it is very fleshy.

In fact, this is very reasonable. Otreus is a heavy tank melee unit of the military. As a front-line unit that crushes the enemy camp, it is equipped with super high-strength armor all over its body, to the extent that shells will ricochet when they hit it. The size of this thing is not as small as seen in the game. On the contrary, it is very huge and ferocious, just like the villain in Transformers.

"This... is also okay, but didn't we agree that the chance of summoning a three-star leader would increase? How come I haven't seen one in such a long time? Is this a scam?"

“Aaaaaaaaah!! Ten consecutive hits! Charge!”

Jiang Han was already cursing in his heart. This bastard fusion pool is really stinky. What a lousy thing. How many resources did it cost me? Not only is it easy to draw low-level combat units, but it also fails to capture them. Failure to capture is fine, but you still don't return the resources to me! Are you stupid?

"How about a three-star leader? Qiu Li Gao!!"

Ding ding ding three times, and a golden light flashed. Jiang Han was stunned on the spot. Is it really that effective? It comes as soon as I say it?

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Jiang Han forced himself to suppress his excitement and began to check the harvest of the tenth batch.

[Capture failed...]

Once you get used to it, as long as you are happy, move on to the next one.

[Congratulations on obtaining the unit; Dragoon swap]

Volume 358: Chapter : On the Eve of the Battle

The area of ​​Yangzhou is now extremely busy, with large amounts of goods entering and leaving the port, and freight logistics in the city are endless.

Large amounts of goods and supplies from all over the place were transported to the port by large ships, unloaded, and then set off again. The destination of these goods was all a base in the city with a name prefixed with the character "Jiang".

The security here is tight. Not only are there volunteer soldiers guarding it, but there are also Iron Blood units on duty here. In order to facilitate the throughput of resources, Jiang Han specially set up an entrance to his base near the river.

A large amount of resources are unloaded here and then transported to the warehouse by workers. The robotic arms and tracks inside the warehouse will automatically transport the materials in. This thing took Jiang Han a lot of effort at the beginning.

Although I don't understand why the gentleman needs such a large amount of supplies, it is different from working for the Ming Dynasty court, working hard but not getting a penny. Whether it is a canal worker along the way or a boatman transporting goods, as long as you work, you will get paid. It is fair and just. Isn't this much better than that damn Ming Dynasty? Many people are trying their best to take this business, and Jiang Han also accepts everyone. As long as you transport, I will take it. Anyway, he is short of everything now, but he has a lot of money.

A few days ago, the silver in these banks had been counted. Eight banks had a total of 27 million taels of silver, as well as large and small fields and various real estate. All of these belonged to Jiang Han. It can be said that Jiang Han is now at his richest stage.

Of course, this money will soon be distributed to various industrial projects, and a portion will be retained for the official bank's turnover. Nowadays, Yangzhou is very short of money in all matters. Education, industry, construction, freight, breeding, and agriculture are all huge money-eating beasts. All things are difficult at the beginning. If we want to make new buds sprout from this mess at the end of the Ming Dynasty, huge investment is needed.

The land in Yangzhou is actually not very good for grain cultivation. It is too scattered and has many water systems. Jiang Han decided to let these farmers switch to growing rice. It is better to plant less wheat and corn as they damage the land.

It is said that the black soil in Liaodong is the most suitable for farming, but due to climatic reasons, nothing can be grown there. Perhaps it is for this reason that the Liaodong land, which has been cultivated for hundreds and thousands of years, is so fertile.

And today, among this huge transport fleet, an engineering transport ship slowly approached the base water port.

The scout in the air slowly approached the transport ship. Seeing this, a volunteer stepped forward and raised a piece of iron in his arms high. This was the port entry pass given to them when they set out.

A laser beam was emitted slowly from the camera hole of the scout. After it swept across the iron sheet, a prompt sounded: "Transport ship No. 0742, welcome back. Please enter the port at Gate No. 2. Please pay attention to transportation safety. I wish you a happy journey."
