Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1000 Doing the tricks (Part [-])
Sanchahe Wharf, a place called a wharf in name but actually a water village.

The water village is flying Jinghua's "Two Swords Protecting the Scroll" pennant, but due to the Ming Dynasty's regulations, the entire water village only has this flag on weekdays, similar to the "Xinglong" and "Xingsheng" triangles hung by merchants. The meaning of the flag is a "trademark" to some extent. As for other types of flags, they are not allowed to hang casually.

But it’s different now. Ever since Tumen and Chaohua dispatched troops, the Jinghua gunboats at the Sanchahe Wharf have raised the “Gao” flag besides the pennant of “Double Swords Protecting the Scroll”—this means that they are now Has been requisitioned by the imperial court, and the current commander is surnamed Gao.

Jinghua belongs to the private property of Gao Pragmatism, and there are a lot of people with the surname Gao who basically changed their surnames after becoming servants, so even if the banner with the word "Gao" is hung, outsiders can't figure out who the commander is at all.

But in fact, the "Gao" referred to by the "Gao" flags in the Sancha River Wharf are all Gao Yushi himself.

Yesterday, Gao Wushi had rushed from Gaizhou to the Sanchahe Wharf in person. Along with him, there were a thousand pacers transferred from Jinghua earlier to Liaodong and eight hundred riders brought by himself.

Originally, these batches were scattered and arranged at several key nodes in Liaohe and Taizihe. The main task was to guard storage and transport goods. Now he has transferred them to the front line.

In this way, coupled with the "amphibious troops" with hundreds of people in the water village itself, Gao Yushi has more than 2000 available armed servants on hand, which is not weak.

At the same time, Gao Yushi also arrived with Ma Chengen and his 3000 Majiada soldiers, as well as more than [-] guard soldiers belonging to the Fuzhou Guard—in fact, Gao Yushi himself was hidden in front of Ma Chengen's team. Those who came, on the contrary, were some members of the Gao family, who entered the water village in batches through various hidden channels.

From this arrangement, it can be seen that Gao Pragmatism is concealing his strength. He wants to give the Tumen and Chaohua coalition forces on the other side a false impression that the reinforcements of the Ming army at the Sanchahe Wharf are from Fuzhou Guard, and the number is about four. Thousand or so.

When Zhang Wanbang attacked the logging team, Tumen and Chaohua Daying were slow to respond. One of the reasons was that they had received news of the increase in the Ming army's strength at Sanchahe Wharf and were discussing countermeasures.

Night, at the second quarter of Xu time.

The small building in the river port where Gao Yushi lived was brightly lit, and Zhang Wanbang was describing in detail the various news he had obtained from the seven crossings of the river in the past few days, including the wave of ambushes just now.

Outside the small building behind him, several large bamboo baskets were filled with the heads of the Mongolian Tartars brought from the opposite bank. The Gao Jiajia Ding was helping him to deal with them—in fact, it was to keep them fresh, so as not to cause them to rot and not be recorded in the account. ".

Sure enough, Gao Yushi did not blame Zhang Wanbang for attacking the Mongol team on his own initiative, but he was not angered by the Mongols' actions, so he agreed that it was reasonable for Zhang Wanbang to be angry, but because of his commanding habits Has always been more hands-off shopkeeper style.

Now that the task is entrusted to you, as long as you complete the task, everything else is easy to talk about. As for whether you choose to use tricks or "force" in the process of carrying out the task, that is your business, as long as it does not violate military laws.

Killing the Tartars obviously did not violate the military law, so Gao Yushi didn't say a word. Instead, he asked someone to help him deal with the head, and recorded it in the book, so that he could discuss his achievements after the war.

Zhang Wanbang's investigation was very meticulous, Gao Wuquan listened for half an hour, and of course he asked a lot of questions himself, and Zhang Wanbang answered them all.

From Gao Yushi's point of view, this guy who has been the chief soldier by his own ability in history does have some skills. The investigation is very detailed. In terms of content, his investigation is also relatively in-depth. All Mongols with cavalry.

Although the terrain near the Liaohe River is conducive to the concealment of a small group of elites like him, as the son of a general and a promising young general, it is a kind of courage and wisdom to dare to take only a few dozen people to investigate the Mongolian army at close range. It was a double test, and Zhang Wanbang clearly passed it.

"So, they cut trees only by size, not by species?" Gao Wushi asked at this time.

Zhang Wanbang replied without hesitation: "Yes, Bing Xian. I have seen with my own eyes that the trees they cut down can be of any type. The only thing they have in common is that they are all a bit thicker."

"Very good, Sanxi has worked hard." Gao Wushi nodded with a smile, then turned to Ma Chengen who was standing aside and said, "How is it?"

Ma Chengen cupped his hands with a smile, and said: "Bing Constitution has eyes like a torch, and this shipbuilding is indeed a fake. If they want to build a ship, even if the time is urgent and there is no time to dry the wood, at least the materials must be selected. Like this It doesn’t matter what kind of tree it is, but it’s not for building ships.”

"Then guess what they will use the wood for?" Gao Wushi asked with a smile.

"It's a bit difficult to guess." Ma Cheng'en thought about it: "If you want to attack with fire, these thick logs are not easy to use, and they are not as good as ordinary twigs... However, if you just make them according to the habits of the Mongols. A leather raft doesn’t seem to need so much wood.”

Gao Wushi waved his hand: "Don't guess, they probably want to make some wooden men to play tricks... Ha, if it wasn't for late autumn and the windy Liaohe River, I think they might be able to save some trouble. That's it."

"Cross the sea?" Ma Chengen and Zhang Wanbang asked at the same time.

Gao Wushi nodded: "In general, it should be the same. It's nothing more than cheating the sky and pretending to be the same. It's just building plank roads openly and crossing Chencang secretly."

He paused, and then said: "Didn't Sanxi just say that in addition to cutting down trees these days, the Chaohua Department sent people to stroll upstream. Judging from the scope of their main 'walking', it is estimated that they want to Suddenly crossing the river somewhere between Dongsheng Fort and Changning Fort... As for Daying, it was nothing more than a cover.

Just wait and see, whenever they light a big bonfire in the big camp, or even hold a high-level drinking party and chatting, it means that they plan to launch a raid across the river. "

Zhang Wanbang asked in surprise, "Why do you light a big bonfire and even play blowing?"

Gao Wushi laughed, and said: "Because they are not confident, some people use tricks, it's not that the tricks are wrong, it's just that the fire is not well controlled.

This is like someone learning cooking. When they first learn, they always think that they can cook some water, land and eight treasures to be a master chef.

Little do they know that the real cooking skill is that any ingredients can be used for you, not only can be used, but also used to the extreme, and the most common ingredients can be used to make delicious dishes, which is worthy of being a chef. "

Zhang Wanbang suddenly said: "Bingxian means that they are afraid that we will not be fooled, so they want to make some big noises to attract our attention, but this instead reveals the time when they launched the surprise attack?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said: "That's right, so let's make a plan. When they make a big noise, the water village will be brightly lit, and people will be sent forward to 'investigate'... By the way, I asked you to do it." Are the wooden cannons ready?"
