Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 719 King, let's vote

Now Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui have been out of food for a long time. During the long winter, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and the others have wandered around Changbai Mountain for a long time, getting out all the edible things they can get.

But even so, many people were frozen to death or frostbite due to hunger and cold.

After all, Changbai Mountain is not any other place. It is not so easy to survive without the materials to keep out the cold.

Non-combat attrition has reached a very serious level, and more than half of the manpower has been lost.

Spring is very far away for Changbai Mountain.

The white snow cannot melt for a long time, and Changbai Mountain is still a world of ice and snow.

Wu Sangui and Wu Xiang's soldiers wandered around the Changbai Mountain along the garrison, looking for anything to eat.

In an open space in Changbai Mountain, simple tents stretch here.

This is the camp of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, where Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui are stationed.

The camp is surrounded by a fence built of wood. Although it is not high, it can also stop wild animals.

Wu Xiang stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the lack of warm sun in the sky, with a sad face.

Wu Sangui stood quietly behind Wu Xiangfeng, and kept cursing: "Disgusting, disgusting, really disgusting. Horqin and his gang are really disgusting. They chased us, and we are not Jian slaves. Catch it, what good is it for them? They are chasing after me, I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out."

Wu Sangui really couldn't understand why people like Horqin chased them so hard.These people are not Sun Chengzong's main force, nor are they Jiannu, they are just some wandering soldiers, there is no need to chase after them.

"Hey!" Wu Xiang sighed, "If it weren't for Horqin and his bastards, we might have entered North Korea by now.

North Korea's armaments are weak, and its soldiers and horses are not our opponents at all.With our ability, we can take North Korea down by watching the market, and maybe we can dominate one side by then.

But now, those bastards like Horqin are hot on their heels, and they just chased us into Changbai Mountain.In one winter, I don't know how many people died of freezing.It's disgusting, it's disgusting. "

When Wu Xiang mentioned Horqin and his gang, she also cursed indignantly.

Originally, Wu Xiang wanted to rush into North Korea, take it down, and then claim land as king, but Horqin messed up all of this.

"How many people do we have left?" Wu Xiang asked.

"Father, there are only [-] people left!" Wu Sangui said dejectedly.

"At the beginning, we had more than 2 people and nearly 3 people, but now there are only so few left, alas!!!" Wu Xiang shook her head, and sighed long and far away.

……

"Taiji, should we search the mountains?"

In an open space outside Changbai Mountain, continuous camps are stationed here.

The largest tent in the middle was full of officers.

In the center of the tent, a bearded man stood there, looking at Wu Keshan who was sitting on the main seat.

Wu Keshan sat on the main seat, pinching the beard on his chin.

As the saying goes, living in Yi Qi nourishes the body, and now Wu Keshan has a vague majesty that cannot be offended.

Of course, this majesty is only limited to the grasslands.

"Soushan? Not right!" Wu Keshan shook his head. "Although our army is majestic, our manpower is still too small. Changbai Mountain is so tall and vast that we can't do it if we search the mountain. One is that the snow in Changbai Mountain does not melt all year round, the road is difficult, and wild animals are rampant. The other is that the place is too large and our manpower And too little, it doesn't work at all."

"Why don't we burn the mountain directly?" A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stood up, his eyes were full of brilliance.

This person is not from the Horqin tribe, but from a thousand households of the Khalkha tribe.

This time chasing and killing Wu Xiang, Wu Keshan not only brought Horqin's soldiers and horses, but also a group of soldiers and horses from the grassland tribes.

"Burning the mountain? What is this method? This method will not work, not to mention whether the snow-covered Changbai Mountain can be burned well. The source of wood for the shipyard on Phi Island is Changbai Mountain. If Changbai Mountain is burned, what will happen to the shipyard on Phi Island?" manage?
What's more, Changbai Mountain has such a large area, and the impact of burning the mountain is too great and inappropriate. "Wu Keshan shook his head and vetoed this method.

"Taiji, I think we should have gone to a misunderstanding." A strong man stood up.

This person is a general under Wu Keshan, called Gerba, who used to be the commander of Wu Keshan's personal guards, and was later promoted by Wu Keshan to become a thousand households because of his meritorious service.

In recent years, Galba has often traveled between Xuanzhen and Horqin, responsible for transporting Horqin's goods.

After staying in Xuanzhen for a long time and encountering many things, Gerba's mind became more and more flexible.

Wu Keshan looked at Gerba and asked, "How do you say that?"

Galba said: "Taiji, the most anxious people should not be us, but Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui.

Behind us is the grassland, and behind the grassland is Xuanzhen.When we blocked Changbai Mountain, the food supply never ran out. All the soldiers could eat well and wear warm clothes. Even if they were sick, they could receive timely medical treatment. "

Gerba stopped for a moment, changed his tone, and said sarcastically, "But what about Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui? What do they have? They have nothing. They fled to Changbai Mountain for a whole winter. They lack food and clothing. , It is estimated that non-combat attrition has reached an incredible level.

Now that spring is here, aren't they in a hurry?Do they want to stay in Changbai Mountain forever?So, the person who is most anxious right now is not us, but Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui. "

Listening to Gerba's voice, Wu Keshan kept nodding his head.

Indeed, the most anxious people now are Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui. After all, they don't have a strong logistics force behind them, and they can only rely on them for everything.

"You're right, so what do you think we should do now? Do we just wait? Waiting like this is not an option." Wu Keshan asked.

Wu Keshan has been waiting here for a long time, and now he can't wait any longer.

Now the grassland is calm and there is almost nothing happening. Wu Keshan also has a lot of time, but these times are also scored.

If nothing happened, Wu Keshan could do some other pastimes.But here, too much time is also a torment for Wu Keshan.

This feeling is like a carrot hanging by the donkey's mouth. I can only watch it quietly, but I can't eat it. Although I have a lot of time, I just can't eat it, so I can only worry.

Since returning to Zhao Wen, there have been fewer and fewer wars on the grassland, Wu Keshan has become more and more idle, and his credit has become less and less.

Although Wu Keshan is Zhao Wen's eldest brother-in-law, who would dislike his lack of credit?

"For the current plan, the best way is to wait until next winter. I personally think that we should send some soldiers into the mountains and look for them along the mountains." Gerba said.

"You've been talking for a long time, but it's as if you didn't say anything!" A young man stood up and looked at Gerba dissatisfied.

He felt that Gerba's words were like taking off his pants and farting, without any effect.

Gerba didn't refute or curse, but just took a quiet look at the man, "In my opinion, Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and the others will definitely come out of the mountains this spring. If they don't, there is only one road waiting for them." , that is waiting to die.

We don't need too many people to send in, only two or three hundred people are enough. Now Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui are in the dark.When they see our personnel entering the mountain, the pressure will definitely increase, and they may come out by then.If they don't come out, they will be gone when winter comes. "

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Wu Keshan thought for a while, and finally made up his mind to do what Gerba said.

"Come here!" Wu Keshan sat up straight and looked around. "Give me orders and do what Gerba said. Starting today, all checkpoints must be strictly guarded. At the same time, the defenders from all over the country will send a certain amount of soldiers and horses into Changbai Mountain. Remember, you can't stop. Someone must enter every day. Mountain."

In the following time, the soldiers and horses outside Changbai Mountain followed Wu Keshan's instructions, while strictly guarding against death, they kept entering Changbai Mountain.

……

"My lord, General Mao is less than two days away from us." He entered Wu Keshan's tent overnight.

Zhao Wen asked the Military Academy to draft an imperial decree, asking Mao Wenlong to lead [-] troops to approach the Liaodong and North Korean borders.

This time, Mao Wenlong personally led [-] soldiers and horses.After all, there is not much movement in Nuer Gandusi today, so Mao Wenlong personally led the troops to come.

When he came here, Mao Wenlong also knew that Wu Keshan was here in Changbai Mountain, so he sent a message to Wu Keshan.

Wu Keshan was standing by the table in the middle of the big tent, looking at the map of Changbai Mountain on the table.

Wu Keshan raised his head, looked at the soldier who came in, and asked, "Two days away? That's not far! Inform all the officers and let them build a camp nearby to prepare for General Mao and the others."

The messenger standing in the big tent hurried out with Wu Keshan's order.

Wu Keshan is not a stupid person, but a person who can see the essence of things clearly.

Although Wu Keshan is Zhao Wen's eldest brother-in-law, in Wu Keshan's opinion, to some extent, his own brother-in-law is not as good as Mao Wenlong.

After all, Mao Wenlong is Zhao Wen's direct descendant, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are all Zhao Wen's direct descendant soldiers and horses.Compared with the Central Plains, Nuergandusi is equivalent to that kind of enclave. The people who can be stationed here must be the people Zhao Wen trusts most.

Wu Keshan understood all this in his heart, so he lowered his posture and built a camp for Mao Wenlong and the others.

Two days later, Mao Wenlong finally arrived at Changbai Mountain with his troops.

Among Mao Wenlong's 5000 soldiers and horses, there are 4000 infantry and [-] cavalry.

The remaining 1000 were basically artillery and soldiers assisting the artillery.

Mao Wenlong sat in a wood-burning car, looking at the road ahead through the windshield.

Ten miles in front of Wu Keshan's camp, Wu Keshan led his personal guards and various officers.

While Wu Keshan and others were looking forward to it, Mao Wenlong's team appeared in Wu Keshan's field of vision.

The first one was Mao Wenlong's firewood car.

Wu Keshan looked at the wood-burning cars coming towards him with a look of envy.

"Firewood cars, this is a good thing. Unfortunately, the current output is still too low, so we can only supply the army first. When the output increases in the future, I will get one anyway." Wu Keshan's eyes lit up.

Wu Keshan also knows about wood-burning cars, and has ridden in a wood-burning car several times in Xuanzhen.

However, the production of wood-burning vehicles is still too low, and Zhao Wen gave priority to supplying the produced wood-burning vehicles to the army, so there are almost no such vehicles on the grassland today.

Mao Wenlong's firewood car stopped one mile in front of Wu Keshan.

Mao Wenlong got off the wood-burning car, and Wu Keshan hurried up with the people behind him.

"I've seen General Mao!" Wu Keshan came to Mao Wenlong and cupped his hands at Mao Wenlong.

"Haha, Taiji is being polite!" Mao Wenlong also bowed back.

"General Mao, the camp has been arranged for the general, and the general is invited to settle in!" Wu Keshan said with a smile on his face.

Mao Wenlong nodded, "In that case, thank you Taiji."

Mao Wenlong then arranged for the soldiers he led under Wu Keshan's arrangement.

At the same time, in the imperial palace in Seoul, the Joseon King Li Ji looked at the officials standing in the hall with a panicked expression.

Fenglin Maharaja Li Hao and leader Yizheng Jin Yan stood inside, with their heads lowered, not daring to look at Li Zhen.

Li Hao and Jin Yan have been back for several days. After they came back, they repeated all the words Zhao Wen said to Li Zhen.

During the few days when Li Hao came back, Li Hao held a court meeting almost every day to discuss how to deal with Zhao Wen.

"What should we do now? What should we do now? Lord Fenglin and Jin Aiqing have said about Xuanzhen's strength before, and I don't need to repeat it. My dear friends, do you have any way, how should we deal with Xuanzhen? Are you really letting Xuanzhen do this?" Li Zhen frowned tightly, and said in a panic.

The words brought back by Li Hao and Jin Yan were like a huge stone of ten thousand tons, pressing on Li Zhen's chest, making him breathless.

The officials in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them spoke.

These officials are not stupid. North Korea can't stop Zhao Wen at all. What can they do to deal with Zhao Wen?

Even if all the people in North Korea are added, they are not Zhao Wen's opponent.

Looking at the silent hall, Li Zhen asked irritably: "Is there really nothing you can do? Can we just watch North Korea lose from our hands?"

Li Zhen's voice echoed in the hall, and suddenly, a thin official stood up.

This official is one of Li Zhen's most important officials, named Zheng Jingshi.

"My lord, North Korea was originally a vassal state of Ming. Now, Xuanzhen replaces Daming and dominates the artifacts of the Kyushu. Xuanzhen belongs to Daming. It came from Daming. Logically speaking, it should be counted as the same lineage. They belong to the Yanhuang Miao family, and the Chinese orthodox. "
