Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1407 There is always something going on in Liaodong (Part [-])
The determination was made, and Nurhachi's style of course was to do what he said, and all kinds of preparations were taken immediately, including the concentration of food and grass.However, in addition to his own preparations, Nurhachi learned a good lesson this time and sent people to Liaoyang and Guangning separately to report the war he was about to launch.

Liaoyang is the residence of the governor of Liaodong, the deputy general of Liaoyang is also stationed in this city, and Guangning is the residence of the general of Liaodong.

Due to the previous victory in the high-practical Liaonan battle, the Ming Dynasty took back the Liaohe Hetao area that was originally occupied by Chaohua. Therefore, the defense area division of the Liaodong General Army and the Deputy General Army has been pushed all the way north from the former Dongchang Fort, along the Liaohe River. It is divided into two parts, east and west.

Relatively speaking, due to geographical reasons, the Liaohe Hetao area, as the result of the battle of southern Liaoning, is now overwhelmingly owned by western Liaoning, which has become Li Chengliang's defense area.

Not long ago, Li Song, the governor of Liaodong, made an appeal for this, thinking that a side wall should be built along the line of Zhenjingbao in Liaoxi and Pinglubao in Liaodong to protect the entire Liaohe River loop.

Zhu Yijun was a little moved by this idea, and called Liang Menglong to the Wenhua Palace to question him.Liang Menglong himself agreed with this idea, but he emphasized the current financial difficulties of Ming Dynasty and reminded the emperor that he should ask Gao Pragmatism first.

Zhu Yijun said that it is definitely necessary to ask, but now that the Ministry of Household Affairs is arguing about the acquisition of financial power, he plans to ask again after this period of time.

Judging from the current actual situation in Liaodong, it is only natural for Nurhachi to send troops to use force against the Dong E tribe to which his Jianzhou Zuowei belongs. It's weird—after all, Cao Yu is now fully responsible for the defense of the east of the Liaohe River.

Of course Nurhachi was not confused, on the contrary, he was sober.Gao Pragmatism means that Cao Yu, his disciple, obviously held a repressive attitude towards him, while Li Song and Li Chengliang did not see a clear attitude, but "not seeing a clear attitude" itself is a kind of ambiguity.

According to Nurhachi's understanding, as long as he showed his sincerity, Li Futai and Ning Yuanbo would stand on his side in all likelihood.Therefore, Nurhachi spent a lot of money, prepared generous gifts for Li Song and Li Chengliang, and went to "report".

Next, Nurhachi set his sights on Weng Guo Luocheng of the Dong'e tribe.

At this time, there happened to be an episode: a person named "Sun Zha Qin Guanggun" who was born in the Wanyan Department of Jianzhou was one of the small leaders of the department. During the battle, he was captured by Weng Guoluo's soldiers. After being captured, he was humiliated by Weng Guoluo's tribe, and escaped by luck.

He heard that Nurhachi failed to use troops against the Dong'e tribe last time, and returned without success, so he kept secretly calculating the opportunity.This time Nurhachi wanted to raise troops again, so he immediately came from the Wanyan tribe to ask for an interview.

Sun Zha Qin Guanggun turned to Nurha Chidao: "The lord of Wengguo Luocheng is my enemy. I ask Baylor to lend me an army to help me take down Wengguo Luocheng to relieve my hatred."

Nurhachi thought, the last time I sent troops was unfavorable, I failed to capture Qijita City.This time the troops need to be the first to win. Qijida City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it can be put on the back burner. If Weng Guo Luocheng can be defeated first, it will not only weaken Dong E's vitality, but also avenge Sun Zha and Qin Guanggun. Becoming an ally with the Wanyan Department can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

Therefore, Nurhachi readily agreed to Sun Zha Qin Guanggun's request.

Sun Zha and Qin Guanggun had a nephew named Dai Dumergen.He has a very close friendship with Weng Guo Luocheng City Lord. When he learned that Sun Zha and Qin Guang had gone to find Nurhachi, he guessed that his uncle must have borrowed troops to take revenge.So he sent someone to Weng Guo Luocheng, and informed the city lord of the possible situation, so that he could prepare early.

The city lord Weng Guoluo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly sent out spies to find out Nurhachi's movements, and assembled a team to defend the city.

Nurhachi led his troops to the city of Wengguo Luo. Seeing that the city gates were closed and the defenses on the city were strict and orderly, and he couldn't find a breakthrough to attack the city for a while, he ordered to continue to adopt the fire attack strategy and use archers to launch a large number of rockets into the city. Burn the towers and shops in the village.

Nurha Chixin said: "This strategy has already worked when we attacked Qijida City, but God didn't protect me and forced me to withdraw my troops. I still use this method to attack Weng Guoluo City today. God will never fight against me again!"

When Nurhachi immediately saw thick smoke rising from several places in the city and flames were already seen on the tower, he seemed to have seen the hope of victory.Looking at the soldiers who were charging into battle, he couldn't help jumping off his horse, and walked briskly to a hut outside the city.He found a ladder himself, climbed up to the roof, used the chimney as a cover, and shot towards the city with a bow and arrow.

At this moment, Nurhachi was not in his thirties, and it was the time when he was brave. He almost forgot his identity as Baylor, as if he was just a warrior.

However, Nurhachi's attire was quickly noticed by a guard on the city, who concluded that this man must be no ordinary soldier, but a general.

The name of this guard is Ergoni, he is a good archer, he holds a hard bow, can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, and he is brave and steady in battle.Taking cover from the battlements, he drew his bow at full strength and fired a powerful arrow at the target.

Nurhachi was caught off guard and was shot in the head. The arrow pierced through the helmet and pierced his scalp nearly a finger deep.With a sound of "ah", Nurhachi instinctively stretched out his hand to hold the shaft of the arrow, and pulled out the arrow with all his strength.I don't know if it was the blessing of anger, he endured the pain and shot towards the city with this arrow.

However, the arrow did not hit Ergoni, but a little leader beside him.Nurhachi sneered, then took another arrow and shot again.At this time, his own blood had already flowed from his head to his feet, but the wild boar skin was really brave at this time, he didn't bother to care about it at all, and shot and killed several soldiers of the opponent.

Weng Guo Luocheng may be rich in sharpshooters, and there is a young general named Luo Ke on the tower, who is also a good shooter.When he saw a general on the opposite roof shoot and kill several soldiers in the city with only a chimney as cover, he felt great hatred.He hid aside and observed calmly. He seized the moment when Nurhachi stretched out his head to observe left and right after shooting an arrow, and suddenly shot an arrow.

This arrow was more powerful than Ergoni's arrow. It penetrated the collar on the chain mail and hit the lower left side of Nurhachi's neck, only an inch away from the center of his throat.

Nurhachi did the same, and stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow again. However, this arrow was different from the previous one. There were barbs on the arrow like hooks. Meat.

E, who was directing the soldiers to shoot arrows into the city under the house, also saw what happened just now, and he shouted: "No, Big Baylor (Big Baylor is a relative term, at this time the Jianzhou Ministry is called Shuer Haqi) Erbaile) was shot!" He hastily called several soldiers to run to the house, trying to climb the stairs to help Nurhachi down.

Nurhachi was very sober at this time, knowing that he should not let the enemy know that he was injured, especially not let them know that he was injured in a vital part such as the edge of the throat. He had to act as if nothing happened.So he waved his hands to prevent the soldiers from coming up: "Don't panic, don't mess up, it doesn't matter to me, let me go down slowly."

E Yidu was a general after all, and he knew what the chaos meant at this time, so he ordered all the archers to shoot arrows at the city to cover Nurhachi.

At this time, Nurhachi's head and neck were bleeding outwards, and his armor was almost dyed red, but he was still conscious.He covered the wound on his neck with one hand, supported himself with a bow as a stick with the other, and slowly walked down from the roof. Several soldiers immediately went up to support him.Not far away, Nurhachi suddenly lost strength in his legs and fell to the ground with a "bang". Everyone hurriedly lifted him up and retreated to a safe place.

This arrow really almost blocked his throat with one arrow, and almost killed Nurhachi on the spot.After being hit by an arrow, he was in a coma for a long time, but his stubborn temper of not admitting defeat supported his will to survive.He struggled to wake up, staring at the subordinates around him with firm eyes, but soon passed out again.

Woke up, passed out, woke up again, passed out again, and went back and forth four times. The generals took turns to serve Nurhachi. It was not until the next afternoon that the blood on Nurhachi's neck stopped.

Nurhachi returned to the world from the side of the god of death, and after waking up, he reached out for water.The soldier brought him a bowl of water, and he opened his mouth wide and drank it all in one gulp.Seeing this, Zhong's subordinates were relieved one by one, and they told Nurhachi that they had sent someone to notify Erbeile that the old camp was safe and sound, so there was no need to worry.

Nurhachi nodded, but didn't say much.Although the wound on his neck was over an inch thick, blood continued to ooze out.Seeing that Nurhachi was injured so badly for his revenge, Sun Zhaqin Guang rolled down his tears.Kneeling in front of Nurhachi, he kept blaming himself: "It's all my fault! Dabeile, you must survive!"

Nurhachi glanced at him, waved his hand, and still said nothing.

The coach was injured, and the siege was fruitless. Although there were several fires in the city, there was no chaos.Taking advantage of the darkness, the generals quietly evacuated Wengguo Luocheng with Nurhachi, and once again left the territory of Dong'e tribe.

The successive defeats in attacking Qijida and Weng Guoluo made Nurha, who had more victories and fewer losses in the past few years, feel very unhappy, but because of his injuries, he had to focus on recuperating.

During the month of recuperating, Nurhachi quietly reflected on himself: Our Jurchens are now divided into three major parts (referring to Jianzhou, Haixi and Donghai), and each major part is divided into many smaller parts.Taking Jianzhou as an example, it was divided into seven small tribes: Sukesu River Hu, Hunhe, Wanyan, Dong'e, Neyin, Yalujiang and Zhusheli in Changbai Mountain (the Zhechen tribe was extinct, Otherwise it should be eight).

In each small tribe, the various village owners are not convinced with each other and act independently.If we want to unify so many large and small tribes, is the only way to conquer by force?In the Suzi River (i.e. the Sukesu River Moat), I used force to conquer Tulun, Sekeji, Mardun, Sarhu and other strongholds. Be my ally.

Then, through appeasement, will there be other people who will submit?Should be able to.Since recruiting can also be unified, I shouldn't just think about fighting every time. I have to adopt two methods of virtue and soldiers.They can, and so can I!
Thinking of this, Nurhachi's mood gradually calmed down.

It seems that the name "wild boar skin" was not taken in vain. Nurhachi's arrow wound improved after only about a month.

It was the coldest time of the year in Liaodong.The north wind is harsh, the mountains are high and the snow is thick, and most of the mountain people are at home in winter, preparing to welcome the new year. Weng Guo Luocheng is also shrouded in the atmosphere of winter.

The soldiers and civilians in the city never expected that anyone would send troops to fight in such bad weather, especially the news that Nurhachi was seriously injured before had spread, which made them completely unprepared.

Nurhachi's soldiers suddenly attacked the city, and the army and the people in the city were in chaos. Nurhachi broke into the city without much effort.The two sharpshooters who almost killed him --- Ergoni and Rocco were both captured.

When the two of them were brought in front of Nurhachi, all the generals unanimously demanded that they be immediately pushed out of the account and beheaded in public to relieve their hatred.These two also expected to die at this time, and they glanced at each other with determination on their faces.

Unexpectedly, Nurhachi smiled and said to his subordinates: "The two armies are fighting each other with the determination to win, and the ultimate goal is to win the final victory. At that time, we attacked the city, and they defended the city for the master. It is reasonable to shoot arrows at me. If possible It’s unreasonable to shoot without shooting.”

Then he paused, and then smiled again: "But if they are used by me, wouldn't their arrows be shot at my enemies? Brave and mighty people like them, even if they die in the battle between the two armies Before, people still felt sorry for it. Now that they are captured by me, how can I kill them just because they shot me before the battle!"

Ergoni and Rocco couldn't believe their ears. There really are such magnanimous people in the world?They stared blankly at Nurhachi, seeing that Nurhachi was smiling with kindness in his eyes, and ordered his men to untie them.Only then did the two realize that all this was true.

The two were so excited that they narrowly escaped death, they both knelt on the ground, expressing their willingness to surrender, and from now on, no matter what they were ordered to do, they would never complain.

After hearing this, Nurhachi laughed loudly and said: "I have been looking forward to hearing what you said as soon as possible since I was recuperating on the kang!" After speaking, he immediately announced: "From today, Ergo Niu and Luo Ke both served as Niu Lu Ezhen and served in the army."

In this battle, Nurhachi finally got his wish and took down Wengguo Luocheng, but he knew that he had spent too much financial resources in order to take down the city, and he was temporarily unable to continue to conquer Dong E's tribe.

But it just so happened that in more than a month, it was time to see what the Ming army in Liaodong had to say about their actions this time.

Amidst the elation of his subordinates, Nurhachi withdrew his troops unusually calmly and returned to the old village of Hetuala.
