Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 507 Going to Salhu
"Later, because Xuanzhen didn't have enough soldiers and horses, I was added to Xuanzhen." Li Xiaosan became depressed when he mentioned his two older brothers.

When his two elder brothers went to Salhu, Li Xiaosan was only two or three years old.Originally, the family relied on the support of the two elder brothers, so I dare not say that I have no worries about food and clothing, at least I will not be hungry often.

But since his elder brother went to Sarhu, the family has become more and more impoverished.

Most of the pension money given to his family by the imperial court was deducted by the Shangguan, leaving only a little.

When he was in his late teens, the army chief incorporated him into the frontier army.

"Do you want to go to Saarhu to see your brother?" Zhao Wen walked up to Li Xiaosan, patted Li Xiaosan's shoulder, and asked in a calm tone.

"I think, even in my dreams!" Li Xiaosan said with a wry smile.

"Pass my order, let's break out of the camp tomorrow, stay in Shenyang City with 2000 troops, and leave the rest.

All the Jiannu in the city, except the Jiannu people, and the Jiannu captives were dragged to Saarhu by me, together with Huang Taiji and others.You go arrange it! Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan and said.

Li Xiaosan cupped his fists at Zhao Wen and shouted, "Obey!"

……

The sun was hanging in the sky, and Zhao Wen rode his horse at the forefront of the army.

Li Xiaosan followed conspicuously, looking around vigilantly with a pair of eyes.

Bu He walked beside Zhao Wen and chatted with Omu Bu who was beside him.

Huang Taiji and Hauge were loaded into a prison cart, right in the middle of the team.

Huang Taiji was sitting in the prison car, with iron chains on his hands and feet.

He looked at the surrounding scenery with a dull expression on his face.

"Father Khan, isn't this the way to Sarhu? Why are these people dragging us to Sarhu?" Haoge looked at the scenery on both sides of the road and quickly understood that this road is the road to Sarhu .

Huang Taiji glanced at Hauge lightly, did not speak, and quietly looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

Obai and Azig were imprisoned in a prison car. He looked at the scenery on both sides of the road and understood that this was the road to Sarhu.

Because of identity issues, Huang Taiji and the others were imprisoned in a prison van and pulled by horses.

As for the Jiannu captives, they were threaded into a string with ropes, and they followed the rear of the team like ducks on the shelves.

Zheng Yiguan and the others also escorted the Jiannu soldiers captured from Liaoyang City to move in the direction of Sarhu.

Shenyang City is about 200 miles away from Sarhu, and if you go fast, you can get there in about a day, but it takes a little more time because the Jiannu captives are being escorted.

It took nearly three days to walk on the road, and when Zhao Wen came to Sarhu, it was already the afternoon of the third day.

At this time, Mao Wenlong and the others hadn't arrived yet.

Liaoyang City is farther from Saerhu than Shenyang City, so it takes more time.

Zhao Wen controlled the horse and stopped. He looked at the sun in the sky and the surrounding scenery, and said, "Stop moving forward, and camp here, we are here."

The battlefield of Saerhu is very large, and the place where Zhao Wen arrived is only the edge of Saarhu.

The messenger who followed Zhao Wen ran towards the rear with Zhao Wen's order, and conveyed Zhao Wen's order.

When the sun set on the western mountain, the camp had already been set up.

Zhao Wen brought Li Xiaosan and a dozen or so personal guards to a small hillside. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the pitch-black land in front of him in the night without saying a word.

It is already summer now, but for some reason, standing on the hillside, Zhao Wen still feels cold, and it is still bitingly cold.

A gust of night wind blew, and the leaves of the big trees in the distance were rustling.

"My lord, about fifty miles ahead will be the main battlefield of Salhu." Standing behind Zhao Wen, Li Xiaosan pointed forward and said.

"At that time, Yang Gao was in command of Shenyang, and the commander-in-chief Ma Lin led an army of [-] to Kaiyuan, passed through Sancha'er Fort, entered the upper reaches of the Hun River, and attacked Nurhachi from the north.

The commander-in-chief Jun Jun led the main force of 3 people to take the main attack, starting from Shenyang, leaving Fushun Pass and entering the Suzi River Valley, and attacking Nurhachi from the west.

General Li Rubo led 5000 troops to attack Nurhachi from the southwest.

Liu Ting, the commander-in-chief, led the main battalion of more than 4 troops, plus more than [-] Korean troops, a total of [-] people. They went north along the Dongjia River via Kuandian and attacked Nurhachi from the south.

In addition, the commander-in-chief Bingzhong, Liaodong generals Zhang Chengji, Chai Guozhu and other troops were stationed in Liaoyang as mobile reinforcements.

Li Guangrong, the commander-in-chief, led a part of his troops to garrison Guangning County to ensure rear traffic.Dou Chengwu, the deputy general, was stationed in Qiantun to monitor the various Mongolian ministries, and Wang Shaoxun, the governor of the capital, was in charge of transporting grain, grass and supplies.

The total strength of all troops is 11, and it is said to be 47. If I remember correctly, there are 11 of the Haixi Jurchen Yehe tribe in the [-] army.

It's a pity, one general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies to death, Yang Gong doesn't know how to fight at all, plus Juniper and Yang Gong are at odds. All were eaten by Nurhachi.

In the end, Nurhachi's soldiers joined together and defeated the soldiers and horses attacking Sarhu one by one. "

Looking at the night ahead, Zhao Wen recalled the historical battle of Saarhu.

"My two elder brothers died in the battle in Saerhu, but I don't know where they died in the battle. As Saarhu is so big, I have no way to find out the real place where they died in the battle." Li Xiaosan Looking at the land in front of him, he said in a low tone.

"No matter where it is, in short, he died in the battle of Sarhu.

Let's build an altar here. I want to use the lives of Huang Taiji and others on this hillside to commemorate the heroic souls who died in Liaodong. "Zhao Wen pointed to the hillside where he was standing, and said to Li Xiaosan.

Li Xiaosan said to Zhao Wen, "Follow your lord's order!"

When the sun rose again, Li Xiaosan led his soldiers and horses, pulled out more than 1000 Jiannu captives, and began to cut down trees in the surrounding forests.

After the trees were cut down, they were asked to transport the trees to the place where Zhao Wen stood last night.

Because trees are used, the altar was built very quickly, and it took almost three days to build it.

After the altar was successfully built, Mao Wenlong and Zheng Yiguan also led soldiers and horses to escort the Jiannu prisoners to Zhao Wen's place.

……

Zhao Wen sat in the big tent, looked at the people in the big tent, and asked, "Is everyone in place now?"

Mao Wenlong stood up, looked at Zhao Wen, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, according to your order, we have brought all the people you want."

Zheng Yiguan also stood up hastily, and said: "I also brought the person my lord wants."

Zhao Wen nodded, "The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day. After you go down today, select all the slaves from the Yehe tribe among your captives. I still have use for these people."

The Yehe tribe is a branch of the Haixi Jurchen, and they have a blood feud with the Jianzhou Jurchen where Nurhachi is, and the two have been fighting continuously all year round.

In the end, because Nurhachi hugged Li Chengliang's thigh, relying on Li Chengliang's protection, Nurhachi often pressed Ye Hebu on the ground and rubbed it, and was finally unified by Nurhachi.

Yehe tribe and Aiqinjueluo, where Nurhachi belonged, had a deep hatred, and the two often attacked each other. During the battle of Sarhu, Yehe tribe gathered [-] soldiers and horses with the strength of the whole family. The Ming army attacked Nurhachi.

After the defeat of Saerhu, Nurhachi felt that he was played by the Yehe tribe. You must know that before Nurhachi was in Saarhu, Nurhachi had already annexed the Yehe tribe.

However, in the battle of Sarhu, the Yehe tribe not only failed to help Nurhachi, but even cooperated with the Ming army to attack Nurhachi.

Nurhachi, who became angry from embarrassment, made an oath that he would never give up on Yehe.

Because of the huge disparity in strength, the Yehe tribe was not Nurhachi's opponent at all, especially in the absence of reinforcements, the Yehe tribe was not long before Nurhachi broke the city.

After the city of Yehe tribe was conquered, Jintaishi, the great Khan of Yehe tribe, refused to surrender, and finally scolded Huang Taiji angrily, and died by self-immolation.

Before dying, Jin Taishi made an oath: "The one who destroys the Empress Jin must be a member of my Yehe tribe."

Later, the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty came from the Yehe tribe, and it was precisely because of Cixi that the Qing Dynasty perished so quickly.

Therefore, the oath made by Jin Taishi has finally come true.

Seeing that the city was broken and the city was helpless, Buyangu, a general under Yehe tribe Khan Jintaishi, went out of the city and surrendered Nurhachi after receiving a guarantee that he would not be killed.

In order to prevent the Yehe tribe from making a comeback, Nurhachi did not fulfill his promise this time, and directly ordered people to behead Buyangu, and the Yehe tribe was declared dead.

After exterminating the Yehe tribe, Nurhachi moved the civilians of Yehe to Jianzhou, naturalized and weaved the flag, and became his own subjects.

Although they are all subjects of Nurhachi, in terms of status, the Yehe tribe has no way to compare with the orthodox subjects of Nurhachi. Even if they are incorporated into the army, the people of the Yehe tribe are basically auxiliary soldiers and infantry. That is to say, their status is higher than Ming people.

Although Zhao Wen had told Huang Taiji before that the Jurchens should disappear.However, it is impossible for Zhao Wen to kill all the Jurchens.

This is not 1 to 10, but tens of thousands of people.What's more, not all the Jurchens are with Jiannu.For the Jurchens who are not of the same mind as Jiannu, there is really no need to kill them all.

"The captives of the Yehe tribe? My lord, the Yehe tribe used to be a feud with Jiannu. During the Battle of Sarhu, they even sent troops to help the Ming army, and the Yehe tribe has always been dominated by the Ming Dynasty. If we take Yehe All the captives in the department were killed, which is unreasonable."

Mao Wenlong thought that Zhao Wen was going to select and kill all the prisoners of Ye He's tribe, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
