The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 89
Hongxie's route to retreat back to Liaodong is clearly recorded in history.

First, he led the main force to Shanhaiguan in a whimsical way, intending to break through the pass directly to avoid the time-consuming and labor-intensive detour of Mongolia for more than a thousand miles.

But the barbarians had no gunners, and an accident happened when the gunners of the Ming army who pulled the captured Hongyi cannons and threatened to surrender bombarded the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

I don't know whether it was because the gunners of the Ming army refused to serve as slaves and deliberately destroyed the Hongyi cannons and chose to die with the enemy, or the gunners were half-baked and didn't know how much gunpowder was loaded.

All in all, Hong is the reliance on seizing Shanhaiguan. Those who have worked so hard to get a few Hongyi cannons from Shanhaiguan exploded in the first round of firing.

The Shanhaiguan city wall was intact, and more than [-] Jin soldiers died, which caused the barbarians to be afraid of this thing and never dare to use it again.

No way, it seems that Shanhaiguan can't be defeated, forget it, and then make a detour!Hong Xie brought the main force and ran all the way to commit crimes and came to the outside of the capital city in mid-March.

The inability of the later Jin army to break through the Shanhaiguan meant that they could not get the relatively flat West Liao Corridor. The large amount of livestock, carts, and supplies they robbed had to cross the Yanshan Mountains and pass through the prairie before they could be transported back to Liaodong.

Regardless of the state of war, the team transporting supplies is most likely to be attacked by the enemy. In order to carry out the transportation happily, Hong Jie shot again to the capital of Daming, with the purpose of mobilizing the army of Daming Qin and then spending it in the capital.

The princes of Gonggun who thought that the Jin army had retreated were frightened when they saw the resurgence of the Jiannu. The capital was under martial law again. On March [-]th of the third year, I came to Liangxiang to recognize my ancestors.

In Dafangshan, Liangxiang, there is the Gongling Mausoleum of Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng, and the Dao Mausoleum of Jin Zhangzong Wanyan Jing. Hong is actually swaggering and bringing his brothers to worship the mausoleum.

In fact, there are no such Tungus wild species among the descendants of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda. Unfortunately, the dead can't speak, and there is nothing they can do if they are ancestors of Nurhachi's sons.

Daishan's third son, Sahalian, was ordered to preside over the sacrificial ceremony. Hongxie played well with this move, and the ups and downs of the red flag were really very useful.

Huang Han, a traverser, generally knows how to dispatch the Hou Jin army next, so why is he willing to waste his time?
Now it was the end of February, Huang Han had more than [-] cavalrymen, and [-] cavalrymen equipped with full iron armor and iron face armor.

This means that after avoiding the main force of the gold army, the number of targets that can be robbed doubles when the main force of the gold army continues to engage in black and black business. Treasure, it's too late to regret!
Huang Han took his troops to Zunhua, where Liu Zhilun's troops were stationed and there was a large amount of food and grass reserves. Huang Han planned to use this place as a base to attack the Hou Jin army that appeared within a hundred miles.

Presumably Liu Zhilun would be happy to see the success, and he would not be afraid of retaliation from the Jin army after he was attracted. This person is looking for trouble when he has nothing to do.

In fact, there were so many cities controlled by Daming along the way, but Huang Han didn't dare to hand over his back to civil servants and generals who didn't know the basics.

In case he completed the raid with his troops and was chased into the sky by the Hou Jin army, he urgently needed to enter the city to avoid the fate of being besieged.

A civil and military general in a certain city was afraid that the Jin army would retaliate against the city regardless of casualties and harm Chiyu. They followed the example of Zhu Guoyan, the commander-in-chief who was stationed in Santun Yingcheng, and closed the gate tightly and refused to let the soldiers enter the city. Isn't Huang Han going to follow Zhao? Following in the footsteps of rate teaching?

And Liu Zhilun can be trusted, he gave up his good Beijing officialdom, gave up enjoying the good life of scholar-bureaucrats, and he resolutely asked to lead a group of Huazi soldiers to fight the country's enemies in the snowy winter.

Choosing Zunhua to stay temporarily is also forced by the situation. The "Red Banner Army" has thousands of troops, and if they all go to Jiulitai Village, it will not be able to accommodate them.

What's more, if the whereabouts are exposed, it will be difficult to defend, and everyone will flee to the mountains, and it will easily block the sheep intestines mountain road that requires horses to walk.

Knowing that the Jin army began to worry about gains and losses and was unwilling to fight desperately, let alone carry out tough battles, Huang Han led the "Red Banner Army" into the city that had almost been run by Liu Zhilun as a fortress, of course he could sit back and relax.

If you are in an invincible position, you can use your brains to make the enemy suffer more defeats.

Everyone in the "Red Banner Army" had horses to ride and more than 160 spare horses. It took two days to get up and take them to the south gate of Zunhua with ease.

Sure enough, Liu Zhilun was overjoyed when he learned that Huang Han had brought troops to Zunhua again. He thought Huang Han had brought troops to join him.

Zunhua City not only opened the city gates to let the guest soldiers of Huang Han enter the city, Liu Zhilun also led a large group of generals to line up to welcome them grandly, and Zunhua soldiers and civilians also lined up to welcome them.

On that day, Liu Zhilun, who had a good life during this period, threw a big banquet to welcome Huang Han, and also arranged wine and meat to reward all the soldiers.

After drinking for three rounds, Huang Han sincerely told him the purpose of the "Red Banner Army", Liu Zhilun laughed and stood up to salute Huang Han.

He joked: "The red flag is blowing in the westerly wind. With the iron cavalry in hand today, when will we go straight to the Huanglong? Hahaha, General Huang is so brave. The 'Red Banner Army' wants to fight Tartars and slaves. Come here."

Unexpectedly, this poem was also spread to Zunhua, and even Liu Zhilun was full of praise. Huang Han was a little ashamed, and said: "Master Liu has read poetry and books, and he is generous with his axe in the humble class!"

Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian are first-rank military officers, and Ma Shilong is even a super-first-rank official in Wu Jinglue. They may not have much psychological advantage in front of scholar-bureaucrats who came from Jinshi background, but they are unattainable existences in front of other generals. .

But the two of them had heard a lot of rumors about Huang Han in their ears for more than a month, and they also knew about the famous "Red Banner Army".

Those sturdy and mighty armored knights left them with unforgettable memories for life.

Wu Zimian thought that he was already a commander-in-chief who worked hard to get benefits. He already felt that it was too expensive to raise a hundred armored cavalry, and he had to spend a lot of money on food and horses for training.

Huang Han is just a garrison military officer who has just risen to the position, and he barely entered the ranks of generals. How can he afford to support hundreds of armored knights?
Both Ma and Wu made up their minds to invite Huang Han to drink, and wanted to learn more about ways to make money.

The reputation of a military commander is based on his achievements. Ma Shilong is of course very polite to Huang Han. He and Wu Zimian exchanged cups with Huang Han with smiling faces. They are not at all superior to Huang Han by four or five ranks. official airs.
