"You are really a bad boy. It only took you a few days to solve such a difficult problem as Zhao Shujiao. I am very suspicious of what is growing in the melon seeds in your head." Mao Wenlong walked up to Li Xiao, very surprised.

I have the urge to pull Li Xiao’s head and take a good look.

But seeing the wolf-like look in his eyes, Mao Wenlong immediately gave up the idea.

"After spending five thousand taels of silver, Cui Yingyuan still doesn't behave obediently? Besides, Zhao Shu teaches those bad things to check for sure. He is not clean, and he still dares to cause trouble everywhere. This kid just wants Cui Yingyuan to enforce the law impartially.

!

This is about doing things by unspoken rules and punishing people by explicit rules. If you dare to challenge me, you will not be able to kill him." Li Xiao shook his clothes and said nonchalantly while picking chestnuts.

"Haha! It's just that the land outside Shanhaiguan is technically the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If you divide it like this, I'm afraid the officials will sue in the future...!" Mao Wenlong said with a sneer.

In his opinion, Li Xiao was still too young. Such things had to be reported to the court no matter what. With the court's approval, it would be reasonable to do anything.

"There is nothing we can do about this. Report it to the court. Who knows when it will be approved. Those soldiers are not easy to coax. If there is a mutiny, I will not be able to kill them cruelly.

After all, they are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Although the fighting is not good, the generals who lead the troops are not good. One soldier is raging, and the generals are raging. It is not as good as expecting Zhao Lijiao to bring out any good soldiers.

Farm the land honestly. In a few years, you can still pay money and food to the court. This can be regarded as making the best use of one's talents!"

"Okay! You have a lot of skills, I'm convinced by you. It's just five thousand taels of silver, which may not kill Zhao Shujiao. If he comes out of the prison...! The first thing he will do is seek revenge on you."

"Just him? Let's wait until he is released from prison. He is just a general soldier in a court without a backer. Will you let him go as a royal guard? Squeeze him dry, and then eat him clean.

These guys are very successful at blackmailing people and killing people.

Even if Zhao Shujiao's family members find out, they will only suffer the consequences of being dumb. What can they do to Jin Yiwei? If they get anxious, they will even deal with your family."

"That's cruel! If you put a tail on your kid, you will be a wolf. What kind of regulations do you have regarding Jinzhou? Do you really want Yuan Chonghuan to guard there? When they enter Jinzhou, it is no different than giving it to a wolf." Mao Wenlong gave a thumbs up.

He praised Li Xiao. But he soon became worried about Yuan Chonghuan in Jinzhou.

"I just asked them to feed it into the wolf's mouth. This time, they were equipped with 500 muskets and more than 2,000 grenades. These are all weapons for defending the city!

What's more, they also have trebuchets that can throw gunpowder packets. Although the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder is not very good, throwing a thirty or fifty kilograms of medicine packets is still very lethal. I don't believe that the Tatar's leather armor can withstand

It can withstand steel balls and shrapnel flying everywhere.”

"Haha! If you give Yuan Chonghuan and the others arms, it will be no problem if they persist for two days. If they persist for three days, they will have to use human lives to fill the gap. As long as they resist for one day, you can calmly land on the coast of Jinzhou and cut off the Tatars' retreat in one fell swoop.

, the Tatars want to break through your defense line. But they have to lose some men. This trick is quite poisonous.

Forget it, I don’t worry about it. Even if I do, I can’t afford it. I’m still sitting here in Shanhaiguan. If you win the battle, I will take advantage of it. If you lose the battle, I will be unlucky along with you.”

Li Xiao put down the chestnuts in his hand and looked at Mao Wenlong carefully.

The gray-haired Mao Wenlong, standing under the willow tree in flowing Confucian robes, looks like an old scholar. This man will become a spirit when he gets old. Li Xiao now feels that this statement is not false at all.

Just by looking at the arms he gave to Yuan Chonghuan, he could see his plan for the campaign. He was not a fucking human being, he looked like a monkey with hair on his head.

Yuan Chonghuan had no consciousness of being betrayed, and marched day and night with Zu Dashou and others to Jinzhou.

Jinzhou City has become an empty city after being looted by the Tatars. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere in the city, and dead people's bones can be seen in some places. The city gate is dark, and the dilapidated city gate that was burned by the fire is tilted. On one side.

Nurhaci and his sons were very capable in fighting, but their ability to govern the country was seriously lacking. Except for the cities such as Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Fushun, which were completely captured.

All the remaining cities that were conquered were looted and abandoned. Originally, Liaodong was a vast area with few people. The Tatars simply couldn't take care of them, so they simply killed the old and the weak. Packing up the remaining young and strong people, this is the best option. Slaves. To them, slaves are also property!

Seeing the dilapidated Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou's eyes turned red. He was born and raised in Jinzhou. When the Tatars broke the city, many people in his family did not escape. Now I don't know where they were plundered by the Tatars. Thinking of his relatives who were killed and enslaved, Zu Dashou would feel like the blood all over his body was rushing to his forehead!

The officers and soldiers consciously cleaned the streets, and some veterans found their former barracks. The houses were almost burned, and you could see the blue sky outside when standing inside the houses.

Autumn is crisp and the weather is neither hot nor cold. The weather is fine, but the soldiers, including the officers, are not in a good mood.

He brought more than 10,000 civilians with him. From the moment he set off from Shanhaiguan, Yuan Chonghuan never had any idle time. Especially when it was time to camp, the whole camp was full of people running around. Let all the soldiers see that this commander was there with them. around.

A person who cannot be idle himself will naturally not let others idle either.

Having just arrived in Jinzhou, there was no time left for Zu Dashou to pay his respects. Everyone was involved in laying bricks!

In Jinzhou, the Tatars only burned the city gate. The city wall was still intact, at least there were no gaps. This gave Yuan Chonghuan a lot of comfort. He originally thought that building the city wall would be more laborious. Now it's better. There is no need to build the city wall. Just look for it. Just use wood to build some city gates!

Because the amount of work was drastically reduced, Yuan Chonghuan decided to build an urn city outside the city gate. As long as there is an urn city, the city gate can be well protected. Moreover, the urn city can also kill a large number of enemy troops.

I was originally worried that the Tatars would come to harass me, but I didn't expect that the Tatars didn't seem to see it. They just came over a few times, stood on the hillside and watched for a while, and then left.

The frightened Yuan Chonghuan couldn't sleep well every night. If there was any sound of farting, he would get up and take a look. Tatars are very good at night attacks. If they are taken advantage of in the dark, they will die forever. .

It wasn't that Nurhachi didn't want to kill these bugs under his nose, but Daishan's words made Nurhachi change his mind.

"Father Khan, it is a good thing that the Ming Dynasty suddenly sent troops to Jinzhou City. So what if we let them build the city there? After they have garrisoned the city, they will move all the grain, grass and money to Jinzhou City, and then move some people here.

When that time comes, let's give them a steamed bun." Daishan stood in front of Nurhachi and made an impassioned speech, spitting stars flying everywhere.

"Second brother, this allowed them to repair the city wall. It took a lot of effort for us to attack the city. We captured Jinzhou City last time. Brother, my Xianglan Banner lost a lot of men, and Niulu alone suffered three injuries.

One is still disabled!

Khan, I suggest we go and capture Jinzhou now. Don’t let Ming Dynasty set up such a nail in front of Shanhaiguan." After Daishan said this, Amin immediately stood up to object.

Amin's friend is Mang Gurtai. Naturally, there is a squeeze on this powerful heir to the Khan throne. His identity is very embarrassing. The leader of the Eight Banners, Baylor, is both the son of Nurhaci. Only he, Amin, is Nurhachi's younger brother Shu.

Erhaqi's son.

The gap in status made it impossible for him to inherit the throne. Therefore, he formed an alliance with Mang Gurtai of the Zhenglan Banner. The current Eight Banners are two blue flags against the two emperors. The two white flags stand aside to watch the fun, and the two white flags stand aside to watch the fun.

The yellow flag is in the hands of Azig and Dodo, but Nurhachi's will is followed.

Now that Daishan is showing off in front of Nurhachi, Amin will naturally not let him focus on his beauty.

"Haha! Brother Amin, it was really difficult for us to break through the city wall in the past. It took the soldiers setting up ladders and pushing heavy siege vehicles.

But there’s no need this time, I’ve already contacted the red-haired people. They are willing to sell us the Folang machine gun, but the price has not been negotiated yet.” Daishan was waiting for Amin to speak, and when he saw him standing up, he immediately laughed in his heart.

Like a fox that stole a fat chicken.

"Have you contacted the red-haired man? No matter how much money it costs, we must buy that Folang machine gun." Before the others could speak, Nurhachi had already stood up.

Of course Nurhaci knew the power of the Franco machine gun. When he faced the Japanese warriors in Korea, the Franco machine gun was extremely powerful.

With such a big iron ball, no matter how powerful the city gate is, it will become a mess after just a few shots. Nurhaci has been thinking about how to get a few Franco cannons.

There were originally a few statues at the head of Liaoyang City, but they were later exchanged by Li Xiao for Jueluo Baishan. Nurhachi was really in pain for several days, but he had no choice but to do it for his old brother.

Now that he has the opportunity to own a Franco machine gun again, Nurhaci can't bear to worry about the price.

He is willing to buy it with gold!

Houjin had no shortage of gold, but what he lacked was cannons.

"Hey! I'll contact the red-haired man when I get back and get the issue of the Folang machine gun done as soon as possible. Please don't worry, Father." Daishan agreed generously.

"Okay! If you do this, you will definitely get a reward." Nurhachi is still relieved that his second son is doing things. Since his eldest son Chu Ying died, Nurhaci has been paying attention to his second son, and it seems that he is still paying attention to it.

Yes, I didn’t follow the old path of the boss Chu Ying.

"Hey!" Daishan saluted again, and when he stood up, he smiled mysteriously at Mang Gurtai and Amin.

"Let's just leave the Jinzhou issue and let the Ming people build the city. As long as we have the red-haired men's Fo Lang machine guns, we can destroy Jinzhou City again.

Li Yongfang's report on the disarmament along the Shanhaiguan line in the Ming Dynasty is true. As long as we eliminate the Jinzhou defenders or kill the reinforcements that reinforce Jinzhou, the Ming Dynasty's Shanhaiguan defense line will be full of holes. At that time, we can go to Beijing.

Come on." Nurhaci was obviously very happy when he heard the good news about Daishan. He opened his mouth so big that he could see his little tongue!

Amin and Mang Gurtai were so angry that their heads were smoking, but there was nothing they could do. Others had access to the red-haired people, but they did not have such access. When we go back and mobilize those idiots under our command, we will also look for ways to see if we can buy arms.

"Father Ma, my mother has been in the Japanese country for some time. Why hasn't any news been sent back? Something happened. How about we ask Li Yongfang to look for it?" Instead of Huang Taiji, who was in charge of the Zhengbai Banner, there were only ten people.

Four-year-old Hauge suddenly spoke.

He came to this meeting today just to beg his grandfather to send someone to the Japanese country to find Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji has been gone for more than half a year, but he hasn't even received a letter. Logically speaking, he shouldn't, and everyone at Zhengbai Banner is going crazy.

.

"Well! Myna has been gone for a while. Father, we should send people to look for Myna." Dorgon, who was sitting next to Nurhachi, suddenly spoke.

Dorgon is one year younger than his nephew Hauge, and he is not the banner leader, so he should not have appeared here. But his mother Abahai was favored, and Nurhaci also looked at this fourteenth son differently. Therefore, he also appeared here.

At the meeting, he usually didn’t speak and others didn’t pay attention to him.

"Well! Huang Taiji has been gone for six or seven months. We should send someone to look for him. How can a majestic banner leader, Baylor, always stay in the Japanese country?" Mang Gurtai and Amin looked at each other.

Said with one glance.

It would be the best thing to be able to provide some eye drops to competitors at this time.

"Eighth brother has been away for too long this time. The flag affairs will be left to Hauge. How can a half-year-old child take care of the flag affairs?" Daishan glanced at Hauge, his face full of disdain.

"That's right!" Yue Tuo said nonchalantly, without even looking at his cousin. He is also the leader of the red flag. Hauge is just in charge of the flag for his father Huang Taiji. He doesn't even have the title of Baylor.

Didn't even get involved.

"Cough!" Seeing that there were a lot of chatter below, Nurhachi coughed. Everyone immediately stood still and stopped talking.

"Laoba has been away for six or seven months. It's time to send someone to check. Let Li Yongfang send someone to find out what happened. The Japanese country has to cross the sea, so don't let anything go wrong.

"Nurhaci also valued this eighth son very highly.

When Huang Taiji was only twelve years old, Nurhachi asked him to take charge of the family affairs. At that time, Huang Taiji managed the huge mansion in an orderly manner. From then on, Nurhaci valued Huang Taiji very much.

"All banners should take advantage of autumn to prepare more food and fodder. This year we have concluded an agreement with the Ming Dynasty. In the past few months, we have deliberately paralyzed the Ming Dynasty court. We are just waiting for winter to come, and we will launch another attack. This time, we must attack

Crossing the Shanhaiguan defense line.
