Chapter 197
Tobacco is spreading at an unstoppable speed. It is estimated that at the next meeting, there will be an ashtray on the table.
He had to leave for the capital this time, and he would not be able to get back the 300,000 taels of silver in the face of others. At the same time, Li Xiao was also sure that neither Wei Zhongxian nor the emperor could do anything to him.
After all, the Tatars are still in Liaodong, and this time they just defended Jinzhou. Everyone knows that the Tatars' comeback is inevitable. Since Li Xiao is easy to use, let Li Xiao stay in Jinzhou. The empire needs a barrier, so this
Very important.
Li Xiao now finally understands what it means to be self-respecting when raising bandits. The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked. The birds are gone and the good bow is hidden. Li Xiao still knows what will happen to Han Xin.
This time Li Xiao brought thousands of people to Beijing. For the generals stationed abroad, this was shocking. There was no way, 300,000 taels of silver was enough for many people to take risks and forget that the opponent was the Baizhan army.
Fact: The Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty never knew how to keep this kind of matter secret.
Of course, the grandsons under Wei Zhongxian were also deliberately spreading the news to let everyone know that Li Xiao was the person favored by Eunuch Wei.
Once the officialdom thing is labeled and branded by someone, everyone will think you are even if you are not. Wei Zhongxian wants to create such an atmosphere so that everyone will recognize that Li Xiao is his person. Especially after the Sun Chengzong incident!
Wei Zhongxian is uneducated, but he is not stupid. People who lack IQ will never be where they are today.
The Ming Dynasty is where he makes money. If he wants to make money well, he must keep the Ming Dynasty. As long as the emperor is still the emperor, the Ming Dynasty will still be the Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian's wealth in this life is a sure thing.
So although he didn't like Li Xiao and was dissatisfied with Li Xiao for allowing Sun Chengzong to stay, he still tolerated Li Xiao. After all, there was only one general left who could compete with the Tatars. He didn't want the Tatars to come to the capital and talk about the people outside the city.
He also owns several manors, and if they are robbed by the Tatars, the losses will be huge.
Li Xiao left Shanhaiguan with his troops in a mighty manner, and a man also left his station with his troops in a mighty manner.
Looking at the mutilated corpses on the grassland that had been eaten by wolves, Mang Gurtai felt that his own blood was about to lift the Tianling Cap. One can imagine the tragic scene of the Mongolian cavalry chasing down the Jurchen shepherds on the grassland.
The once prosperous Ulanqab was now devastated. Mang Gurtai did not even dare to recognize that this was the original Ulanqab.
The Two White Banners left. After Hauge and Dudu saw that the Mongols had escaped, they left. They were here to help with defense. Since the Mongols had escaped now, there was no need for them to stay. In the Jinzhou battle, the Two White Banners also
There were many casualties. Now it would be better to return to the lair and lick your wounds.
"Amin! I'm going to invade Horqin, will you come with me?" Mang Gurtai's eyes were like a wolf.
"Go, the descendants of Shuerhaqi are not cowards." Xianglan Banner also suffered heavy losses this time, with not many herders and livestock left.
"The warriors of the Two Blue Banners, the loyal and brave Jurchen Baturus. Mongolian wolf cubs attacked our home while we were hunting. Those mutilated corpses are evidence of their perfidy.
Warriors, the descendants of wolves have transformed into jackals and went to the grasslands to kill them. Use sabers to bring them iron and blood. Kill every Mongolian herdsman and rob their women, cattle and sheep. With their blood,
Pay homage to dead brothers.
kill!"
Mang Gurtai drew his saber and cut his cheek. Blood immediately flowed down. Tens of thousands of taels of blue flag cavalry also drew their sabers and slashed his face.
Some guys didn't hear clearly what Mang Gurtai said. After quickly giving their faces a slap, they asked the people next to them why they did this.
The cavalrymen of the two blue flags marched on the ice and snow of the grassland towards Qianli Horqin.
Nurhachi was lying on the kang, with a thick blanket spread under his body, and his whole body was about to sink into the blanket. The shrapnel embedded in his body had been dug out, and the price was a big hole in his shoulder.
"Hiss...!" The corner of Nurhachi's mouth twitched. The wound from the strong alcohol sting was really painful.
"Sweat, please bear with it. Although this strong drink will make you very painful, it can help your wounds recover. This method was passed down by the Ming army under Li Xiao. Dorgon spent a lot of effort to do it.
I think I got this kind of strong liquor." Abahai carefully dipped cotton in the strong liquor and helped Nurhaci wipe the wound.
This is the kind of thing Abahai dares to do. Yesterday, a concubine hurt Nurhaci. The angry Nurhaci casually picked up a meat-eating knife and stabbed him. Now he is so feverish that he is confused, and he doesn’t know what to do.
Can't live.
"Damn it, I've never been injured all my life in the battlefield. I didn't expect that I was almost killed by such a little thing." Nurhachi held a piece of walnut-sized shrapnel tightly in his hand, which was ejected from his body.
After coming here, Nurhachi liked to play with it for a while, but he didn't know what it meant.
"The blood of dragons on the battlefield is black and yellow. Your life on the battlefield is God's. This time, Dahan is just injured, which means God is still caring for you." Abahai threw away a cotton ball dipped in blood and pulled out a strand of cotton again.
Keep wiping.
"What is Dorgon doing? Why don't you see him coming in with a sign?" Nurhaci was quite dissatisfied with Dorgon's disappearance these days. I almost lost my life in order to conquer the country, but you didn't even come to serve me personally.
.
"Dorgon is currently...!"
"Great Khan, Fourteen Baylor requested an audience." Just as Abahai was about to help his son cover up, a little maid came over and reported to Nurhachi softly.
"Huh! I'm still a little filial, let him in." This is how the old man loses his temper, especially when he loses his temper with his beloved little son. When he loses his temper, he scolds so hard that when he sees someone, his anger immediately flies out of the sky.
.
"Amma! Are you feeling better?" Dorgon walked in and took a sign on the ground with one knee.
"You're not dead yet. What have you been doing these days? I can't see you anywhere?"
"Back to Ama, I have been learning about firearms from the red-haired man Kuiyi these days. We have improved the red-haired man's cannonballs, and it is estimated that we will be able to test qualified shells in a few days. And Li Xiao
It's like the kind of artillery shells. This time we suffered the loss of exploding shells.
As long as we also have explosive ammunition, we can definitely defeat the Ming army easily."
"Really!" Nurhaci wanted to sit up, but Abahai's finger touched the wound, and Nurhaci fell down helplessly.
"We are stepping up experiments, and we estimate that the results will be available in a few days. When Amma's health is better, I would like to ask Amma to go and see for herself."
“I’ll definitely go there then!”
"Great Khan, Great Beile requests an audience." The maid came over again, this time it was Daishan.
"Oh, let him come in too." Upon hearing Daishan's arrival, Nurhaci signaled Abahai to stop.
Abahai helped Nurhachi get dressed, then bowed and bowed and left. When he went out, he saw Daishan. The moment their eyes met, Abahai immediately lowered his eyelids.
"My son, I pay my respects to Amma. I have been in poor health for a while, so I have not been able to come to greet you. Please forgive me, my father." Daishan was very respectful. When he saw Nurhaci, he knelt down without saying a word.
"Are you feeling better?"
"If you go back to Amma, I will come and say hello to Amma as soon as I see you."
"It's hard for you. We are attacking Juehua Island this time. Your two red flags suffered the most heavy losses. Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo were both killed. Li Yongfang has been asked to contact Li Xiao to see if their bodies can be recovered."
"Thank you, Father, for your mercy!" Thinking of the tragic death of his two sons, Daishan's eyes began to turn red.
"Dorgon and the red-haired man Kui Yi have already produced explosive bombs. After the Eight Banners have recovered a bit, we will go and get the place back. The hatred between Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo must be repaid a thousand times by the people of Ming Dynasty.
.”
Daishan took a sharp look at Dorgon next to him. He had recovered from his illness and heard that Dorgon had taken away Kui Yi, so he came to Nurhaci to complain. Unexpectedly, Nurhaci said this. It seemed that this matter had been resolved by Nurhaci.
Recognition.
The boat has been built, and in Daishan's heart there are ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.
I've really had a hard time with you.
"I have to congratulate my little brother for making another great contribution to our Eight Banners. We have cannons, and if we have explosive shells, we don't have to be afraid of Li Xiao's barbarians. Next time I lead an army to go on an expedition, I will definitely lead the battle and report to Hua Hua.
The hatred of the island.”
"Okay! This is like a big Baylor, and you can also set an example for your younger brothers. This time you two red flags suffered heavy casualties, so you don't have to pay for this year's flag rations. After you go back, you have to train your flags well.
Ding. Next year, let’s get the place back.”
"Hey! My son, please remember your father's teachings."
"I heard that my elder brother was ill a few days ago, and I originally wanted to visit him. I didn't want to study firearms with Kui Yi, but I lost track of time for a while. Brother, please don't be picky!" Dorgon always knew when to say something.
.
After Nurhaci finished his explanation, he immediately put on the face of a good brother and greeted Daishan.
"Brother, you are serious!" Although he wanted to kick this kid to death, Daishan still smiled and spoke to Dorgon.
If you don’t look at the monk’s face, you should look at the Buddha’s face. For the sake of my father, I have to take a look at my mother’s face.
"Dorgon, from now on you should discuss things with your eldest brother more often. Before you were around, your eldest brother followed his father Khan to fight on the battlefield. Do you understand?"
Nurhaci knew very well about Kui Yi. Dorgon dug into Daishan's corner. It's not good for the young man to be too proud. He needs to be beaten.
"Hey! I will definitely remember my father Khan's teachings."
"Great Khan, Li Beile wants to see you."
"Tell him to come in, it's really lively today."
