"Brother, long time no see, I've lost a lot of weight."
In the main hall, Huang Taiji set up a banquet to entertain the guests.Six of the eight dishes are made of mutton.In order to entertain Li Peiting's arrival, Huang Taiji ordered someone to slaughter a sheep.
After seeing the dishes on the table, Li Peiting curled his lips and ordered people to go out and take out the ingredients from the baggage he brought, and let the chef he brought cook.
"Second brother is a lucky person. He drinks and eats virtues, and he thinks he is rich. But it makes you, a poor starling, far behind."
Facing Li Peiting's extravagant lifestyle, Huang Taiji didn't think he was disobedient, but just teased himself a little, which was to explain the ridicule to himself.
Looking at the loose skin on the fat black face due to the sudden weight loss, Li Peiting could see that this battle spread almost throughout the Liaoxi Corridor, and the pressure on Huang Taiji was also enormous.
The two chatted for a while, and the chef prepared a sumptuous banquet.Wu Bai and others wanted to make some gestures to check, but they were stopped by Huang Taiji. "The second younger brother of the Li family is my old acquaintance with Emperor Taizu Gao, and he is even more like a brother of flesh and blood. If he wants to harm me, there are plenty of opportunities to do it, so why take such a risk in the midst of food and drink? Hands and feet? Back off, and you guys go to rest too!"
Wu Bai and Tu Lai had no choice but to turn around and leave in resentment, but Li Peiting's voice came from behind: "Myna, how do you treat such a loyal and brave man like this? Two generals, I have a habit of eating and drinking. , each meal must be one style and two bowls. If you are worried about your master's safety, you might as well go outside and taste the chef's skills."
"My second brother rewarded you with food and drink. Thank you quickly!"
Huang Taiji ordered Wu Bai, Tulai and others to lead more than a dozen generals with two yellow banners down to enjoy the extremely rich food and wine.After a while, there was a faint sound of gobbling from the back of the hall.Hearing this voice, Li Peiting couldn't help but secretly happy.
"In order to fight this big war, you black fat man, the army is so embarrassed. I don't believe you didn't jump into the pit I dug for you!"
Regarding Li Peiting's appearance on the battlefield of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huang Taiji also knew that there must be a big conspiracy behind it.Otherwise, how could this unprofitable guy be willing to cross the line of fire to come to himself?It should be noted that judging from the current battle situation, the Qing army is showing signs of decline in all battlefields, and almost all of them belong to the situation of being suppressed and beaten by the Ming army.If there were no miracles, or if the Ming army failed in succession, fools would know the outcome of this battle.
As long as the Ming army is undefeated, it is a victory, and if the Qing army is undefeated, it is a big defeat.very simple.The soldiers and supplies of the Ming army were able to guarantee that they could afford them. Although wars were raging all over the Central Plains, bandits and bandits were everywhere, but generally the imperial court was able to raise food, grass and money to supply the army.But the Qing army is different. If they can't support war with war, if they use spoils to make up for consumption, they will definitely not be able to fight.According to the secret report obtained by Huang Taiji, some Mongols have quietly contacted the Ming army through the channels of Shanxi merchants.What is the purpose, you can figure it out with your heels.Don't tell me, you are trying to persuade the Ming army to surrender!
but.Huang Taiji couldn't retreat. Once he retreated, what awaited him was a complete collapse of the army's morale and a collapse of morale.In that case, the decades of painstaking efforts of his and his father Nurhachi's two generations will fall into an unmanageable situation.
He is waiting.Wait for the Ming army's actions to show flaws, and wait for the weather to become colder.In that case, Liaodong's harsh weather and icy storms would be his natural allies.
"Second brother, why did you come here to see you, a starling who is about to be imprisoned and brought to Beijing for interrogation?" Half teasing, half serious, Huang Taiji covered his face with a few glasses of wine and finally began to inquire about Li Peiting's purpose.
The meat is here!Li Peiting couldn't help but feel happy.He designed the strategic layout of the Ming, Qing, and Nanyue armies on the battlefield in the Liaoxi Corridor.A crucial step is about to be taken.
"The younger brother is a merchant, but he is also a wild crane. It happened that the merchants arrived in Liaodong. Hearing that the starling was leading the army here, he was overjoyed for a while, so he came here rashly. I happened to meet the subordinates of the starling who were transferred from Jinzhou to Guangning. Thinking of what happened back then, it is not surprising. It’s very touching.”
Guangning is the former residence of Li Chengliang, and Li Peiting's ancestral house is here. The prosperity and splendor of Li's family in those days is like a passing cloud.
"Second brother, after Brother Yu takes Guangning City, how about packing up the uncle Ningyuan's mansion and returning it to Zhao? On the day of the siege, Brother Yu will pass down an order to prohibit the destruction of every plant and tree in Uncle Ningyuan's mansion, and not to damage uncle The archway back then."
The two old and cunning guys were playing there, and they explained the two performance system theories from the outside to the inside and from the inside to the outside.The facial expressions, language and movements are all in place, but they are not artificial, so as to conceal their true purpose.
"Brother, why did you say such an unlucky word?"
Li Peiting pretended to be surprised.
"Brother Yu, don't pretend to be confused anymore. What is the situation in the Liaodong battlefield right now? You can hide it from Chongzhen in Beijing, but you can't hide it from you. Brother Yu, the army is in short supply of food and materials. Otherwise, it won't happen. You have come here, brother Yu, the emperor who is not worthy of the name can only slaughter a sheep to entertain you!"
"On the other hand, the Ming army is full of men and horses, with sufficient food and wages, and fine equipment. Not to mention anything else, just the three Pingliao cannons that Hong Chengchou placed at the head of Guangning City at this moment gave Brother Yu a headache. Originally I can still get some supplies from merchants in Shanxi, but now, the sea route is controlled by Uncle Ningyuan’s navy, and the land route is full of troops, where can Brother Yu get food to feed these 10,000+ people?”
Finally it came to the point.
Li Peiting picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and began to consider his words.
"Hey! Myna's words are not bad, but there are some mistakes. It is not bad to say that the Chongzhen children in Beijing did their best for this Liaoxi war, and they did everything they can. But what you said, myna, is not true It makes my younger brother dare not agree."
"Brother here, a word of decree is spoken, and millions of people sing promises in unison. Death will never die. However, in Chongzhen, the civil officials have the plans of the civil officials, and the generals have the ideas of the generals. The old man and the eunuch will never cheer each other up. If this battle is defeated, I'm afraid Chongzhen's family fortune will come to an end."
"As for my younger brother, I used this stall to sell some food, grass, weapons, armor, gunpowder and other things to earn some money from the children of Chongzhen in order to support my family."
Hearing Li Peiting frankly admit that he was providing grain and other things to the Ming army, Huang Taiji was not surprised at all. He could see such a businessman's behavior of running back and forth on both sides and earning money on both sides.What's more, Li Peiting has long had continuous business dealings with him.
"A few days ago, the garrison locations of the various ministries of the Ming Army were adjusted. The Shanxi Town, Datong Town, and Model Brigade of the Ming Army that were originally stationed in Songshan were stationed in Jinzhou. As a result, the supplies in Jinzhou City dwarfed by comparison. My younger brother took over and became Jinzhou This is a business of supplies for the Ming army. After the delivery of the supplies is completed, the little brother came to visit the starling."
Hearing Li Peiting's triumphant voice from inside the hall, Tulai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but touch the handle of the knife at his waist.
Huang Taiji in the room was not as excitable as his courtiers. He was so friendly to Li Peiting, who was obviously a pillar of the Ming army, and he just tried to persuade him to drink.Outside the hall, Wu Bai, Tulai and others could only hear bursts of laughter and the sound of wine glasses clinking.
"Second brother. It's such a windy and snowy weather, and it's transporting food, grass and supplies. It's really hard work to think about it. Come on, Brother Yu borrows flowers to present Buddha, let's have another drink!" Huang Taiji began to persuade him to drink frequently.
"Eight, myna, what you said is right! How can you not work hard!? But if you don't work hard, where will you go to make money? It's not a brother bragging with you. Without you brother and me, the Ming court has been 10 years old. Tens of thousands of horses have to drink the northwest wind!"
"Without my surname Li, where can these officers and soldiers in Jinzhou City find the 25 shi of high-quality grain, [-] barrels of authentic Nanzhong gunpowder, [-] high-quality refined firecrackers, and [-] cannons of various colors?" Door, [-] sets of cotton-padded clothes, [-] pairs of armor, and life-saving kits and knife wound medicines enough for tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, as for the grass, beans, salt, and meat, I won’t talk about it!”
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Li Peiting was obviously a little excited.He transported himself to Jinzhou Zu Dashou and Wu Biao's soldiers and horses to supply food, grass and weapons. He made it clear. I don't know if he was showing off his ability in front of Huang Taiji. Anyway, the voice was very loud. The people heard it clearly, and couldn't help but make the eyes of Wu Bai, Tulai and others burst into flames.
"There are a lot of things, second brother, you are more capable." Huang Taiji's words really came from the heart.Being able to quickly mobilize so much food, grass, weapons, ammunition, armor and medicine in just a few days changed the eight Shanxi merchants under Huang Taiji, something that could not be done even if they were killed.
However, this batch of supplies has obviously attracted Huang Taiji's great interest!For Huang Taiji right now, the first thing he lacks is food, and the second thing he lacks is troops!In order to ensure that the front-line soldiers can eat enough, Huang Taiji has taken the lead in eating only one dry meal a day, and at most they will have some gruel to satisfy their hunger at night.If we can seize the many supplies that Li Peiting mentioned, not to mention that the whole army can let go of their stomachs and eat them for a few months, but those life-saving kits and medicinal materials can pull many wounded soldiers back from the death line and turn them into dragon spirits again. A fierce warrior?
Based on the consumption of 1500 grams of food per person per day, the tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and their families and common people in Jinzhou City, based on the total number of troops of the Ming army at the moment, would consume 13 stones a day for a total of 2500 horses (78kg for one stone, One catty takes 650g) of grain, and one month is 75000 shi. In other words, you have to prepare grain for three months?In this way, at least 225000 shi of grain must be stockpiled in the stronghold.If the 25 shi of grain mentioned by Li Peiting was obtained by Huang Taiji, the Qing army could eat it openly for at least two months.
"Second brother, how did you transport all these supplies of food and grass to Jinzhou City? Let me tell you about it?" Huang Taiji's fat face was full of sincerity.
However, Li Peiting had a smirk on his drunken face, "Brother, I understand what you mean, you are going to ask, ask, is there a loophole in your Jinzhou Changhao from my mouth?" To tell you the truth, I am not so bold as to transport so many things to the city of Jinzhou! Those things, all, are piled up in Xiaolinghe City at the mouth of Xiaoling River! I just took the delivery certificate and went back to get it My price is that. We bachelors continue to make money! Now that I’m gone, those guard officers and soldiers can rest assured and make a fortune boldly!”
The ground is wet after the water has passed, which is for the grain and grass that were handled by the Ming army.Not to mention that Huang Taiji knows the shady joints in these errands in charge of the warehouse, he knows it well. These things are piled up in Xiaolinghe City. I am afraid that the officers and soldiers there will eat their mouths full of oil. Arrived in the city of Jinzhou.It would be nice to have 25 stones.
"20 shi? Myna, you are so kind! My fleet just arrived at the water of the Empress Palace, and the guards sent people to take away nearly [-] shi of grain and rice from the four large ships, and put them in Xiaoling at this moment." In the Guandi Temple in Hecheng, it is said that the military rations were borrowed in advance. Damn, your subordinates are only more than [-] people, and more than half of them are guard soldiers. There are only a few hundred soldiers and servants. Where do you go to eat? Finish the ten thousand shi, grain and rice? This is the obvious thing. It is an open fire to grab!"
After a few glasses of wine, Li Peiting was obviously overwhelmed and fell asleep on the table.
Huang Taiji greeted Li Peiting's followers to come in, and helped "my brother" to the side hall to rest.With a dignified expression, he glanced at Wu Bai, Tulai and others who rushed in one by one.
"Did you hear what he said just now?"
"Return to the master, the servants can hear clearly!"
"Master, according to what the second master of the Li family said, there are only more than [-] Ming soldiers guarding the city of Xiaolinghe. The surrounding city is [-] mile and [-] paces away, and there are still many supplies to be guarded. Just a city gate in the east, there are still more A large number of ships guarding the Niangniang Palace to Xiaolinghe City along the river, how can this small force be my opponent? Master, give this servant a force, and the servant will bring Xiaolinghe City and the food and materials in the city to you! "
The generals of the two yellow flags were also very hungry.There is a large pile of grain and grass in front of them, and these grains and grass are guarded by the bean curd troops in the Ming army. This is clearly sending a large amount of supplies to the Qing army. How can we not excite them?
The Qing army was also very familiar with the terrain and geography from the Niangniang Palace to Xiaolinghe City.
The estuary of Xiaoling River in Jinzhou Bay is called Donghaikou by local people.At this time, the section of the Xiaoling River, below Jinzhou, can be accessed by boats, and the geographical advantages are very obvious.
Since the Song Dynasty, the sea area of the Empress Palace has been a bustling port. In the Ming Dynasty, it was even a race with thousands of sails. A large number of commercial goods were directly transported to the city of Jinzhou through the Xiaoling River.Several Ming army reinforcements.A large number of luggage was transported into Jinzhou City through the Xiaoling River waterway.
The Qing army hated the Xiaoling River with red Suaeda salsa on both sides.
After the hustle and bustle in the camp for a while, Tulai and others led more than [-] soldiers and horses under the leadership of Hauge who was sent by Huang Taiji flying overnight. Yes, set off with vehicles, mules and horses.
"gone?"
In the side hall, Li Peiting, who was soundly asleep under several statues of Arhats, suddenly asked in a low voice to his confidant who was guarding Zuo Fentian by the bed.
"The shopkeepers are all gone. The leader is Huang Taiji's eldest prince Hauge, and there are more than a dozen generals from Zhenglan Qi and Zhenghuang Qi. If that Oboi hadn't recovered from his leg injury, I'm afraid he would have brought him with him. Soldiers go. However, their flags and armor are all inlaid with blue flags. But I don’t know why.”
Huang Taiji's little tactic could not deceive Zuo Fentian, who was born in the year when Shou Han divided the land, but it could not be deceived by Li Peiting, who has traveled north and south for many years and experienced the dangers of the world. He lay on the couch and pondered for a while, and Li Peiting was already But in the chest.
Order these more than 1 people to appear under the Xiaolinghe City in the name of the Xianglan Banner soldiers and horses who besieged Jinzhou, and let those defeated soldiers escape into Jinzhou City to report.Zu Dashou and others in the city will definitely think that the main force of the besieging army is still there, so they will not dare to go out of the city to fight easily.This approach can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only robbed food and supplies, but also intimidated the Jinzhou defenders, making them unclear about the reality of the Qing army in the outer city.
I have to admire that Huang Taiji is able to achieve today's achievements, and he is also a momentary hero.
"Boss, your hand is extremely beautiful! You also gave food to the imperial army, and gave Huang Taiji favors. In this way, Huang Taiji can also have the strength to fight."
The two just communicate in Fujian Mandarin in a low voice, and don't have to worry about leaking secrets.In the anti-thief camp in Liaodong, there are very few people who can understand the official dialect of Nanzhili. Where can I find someone who can understand the Fujian accent?What's more, there are quite a few dialects in the South and Central China in the conversation between the two.It's like talking to two Inuit at the equator.
For Zuofentian, the second generation of Nanzhong who was born after Shouhan took over the family business, Emperor Chongzhen was a very illusory existence, and they only had Li Shouhan in their hearts.As for the title of Li Shouhan, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Such a group of young people happened to be the best development targets for Li Peiting and the Conglong faction.Tune in a little.A large number of young people, such as Zuo Fentian, have become fanatics who support Shou Han to become a great treasure as soon as possible.For such people, Li Peiting naturally gave them the strategic concept of poaching the corners of the official army and letting the Ming army end in a disastrous defeat in this Ming and Qing war.
Only when the Ming army is defeated, can the lord hope to ascend to that supreme position.This is the attitude of almost all the South China Conglong faction on the issue of the decisive battle in Liaodong.
There was nothing to say all night, and the two just slept soundly with their heads covered.I'm not worried about changes in the battle situation outside.If more than 1 elite descendants of Huang Taiji and his son still couldn't deal with more than 2000 guard soldiers, mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, there would be no such battle in Liaodong.
On the mountain road of Yiwulu Mountain, knights came and went to report their victories one after another. The whole camp was filled with joyful atmosphere. A large number of food, grass, gunpowder, weapons and artillery were brought in, especially cotton clothes, meat, food and medicines. For the Liaodong rebel soldiers, it is a good thing that can greatly boost morale.
It seems to be successful!Zuo Fentian, who was waiting for Li Peiting to clean his face and wash his face, smiled at each other with several cronies, without saying anything.
but.When Huang Taiji ordered someone to bring a sumptuous breakfast, Zuo Fentian also raised a little concern.
"Boss, if our actions are discovered and the news leaked, what should we do if the lord blames us?"
Holding a bowl of fragrant rice porridge, Li Peiting, who was enjoying the wonderful combination of Jinzhou side dishes and rice porridge, pouted dismissively.
"We shipped the grain, rice, materials, armor, sticks and medicines in full amount according to the contract. There is also a delivery certificate, and the officers and soldiers can't guard it by themselves. It's none of our men's business?" He rolled his eyes and despised Zuofen's many fields consider.
"Then if someone says that we deliberately leaked information to Huang Taiji, what should we say?"
"I'm a businessman who met Huang Taiji for business, chatted after drinking, and didn't say anything. What does he do is none of my business?"
"Besides, even if someone finds out about this and accuses us, I can still yell at us. He said that we were framed by others, otherwise we are just common people, why would Huang Taiji invite us to his camp for a while?" Gathering? And set up a banquet for entertainment? Isn't this a conspiracy?"
"I didn't say anything, so how can I be held accountable? What's more, even if I said something, I'll just call it "Bang Tianqu" and don't accept it. Do you still cry in public and say that you have been wronged? Then we spend money to hire some shameless scumbags to write articles in the newspaper, saying that we have not been paid, that we have not finished the work, and that the amount of bodhi water has not been poured on the two petals. Red lotus can’t be considered prostitution.”
For Li Peiting's innocent face, Zuo Fentian could only give a thumbs up, secretly admiring in his heart: "Sure enough, he is the major shareholder of Southern Commercial Daily. This brazenness is natural, and it cannot be made by the day after tomorrow."
This day passed quietly in the constant busy atmosphere of Huang Taiji's camp.
At night, Huang Taiji didn't come, but his eldest son Hauge came here according to his father's order. As soon as he entered the door, he took his head and bowed, and he kept calling him second uncle.
"My father has some military affairs to do, so I specially ordered my nephew to come and have dinner with my second uncle. My father said, the friendship of my second uncle will be engraved in my heart from all over the Qing Dynasty. As long as my second uncle says something, everyone in the Eight Banners will be happy." Willing to go through fire and water."
"Hey! Nephew, where does this come from? The certain family is just a businessman. As long as they can do a good job in business, they will be satisfied with being Tao Zhugong."
Hauge is completely different from his father's Chengfu. It is undoubtedly a painful thing for him with a violent temperament to deal with an old stick like Li Peiting.After a hasty dinner, he praised that some military affairs in the battalion had to be done and got up to leave.When he left, he left behind a key to the warehouse, claiming that his father ordered his nephew to give it to his uncle, and it was regarded as a gift to his uncle for Cheng Yi, who was on this trip to western Liaoning.In addition, there is a gold-woven dragon banner with a yellow flag left behind. As long as they enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty, they can fight. Under the dragon banner, no one dares to interfere with uncle's business.
Li Peiting was clear in his heart that Huang Taiji must have collected Liaodong production and various property in the warehouse to pay the price of the funds, and this dragon banner was a reward for his achievements.
"Keep it! In the future, the guys can play it when they are walking around in Liaodong." After leaving Yiwulu Mountain, Li Peiting indifferently ordered Zuo Fentian.
There were a few sharp chirps of eagles in the air, and an accompanying attendant looked into the red clouds, and saw a few crinoids hovering in the air, hurriedly took out a red ribbon from his waist, and waved it in the air.
After a while, a sea dongqing landed on the guy's arm, gripping the arm sleeve made of raw cowhide tightly.Someone took out a note from Haidong Qingying Claw and handed it to Li Peiting.
After reading the few lines written on the note, Li Peiting's expression changed involuntarily.
"Let's go! Hurry up and go back to Hongluoshan camp!"
"Boss, what happened?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, something big happened this time! I can't keep my head if I delay you!"
Li Peiting whipped the whip fiercely on the head of the unknown relative, the second monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, but he had no choice but to urge the horse to follow Li Peiting's mount and park the boat towards the sea ran away from where he was.
"Boss, what happened to the sky?" In the cabin, Zuo Fentian, who was still panting, took a moment to ask Li Peiting in a low voice.
Seeing the strong sea breeze and no one around, Li Peiting lowered his voice and told Zuo Fentian the earth-shattering bad news.
"The eldest lady was injured during the general attack on Tashan!"

"Brother, long time no see, I've lost a lot of weight."
In the main hall, Huang Taiji set up a banquet to entertain the guests.Six of the eight dishes are made of mutton.In order to entertain Li Peiting's arrival, Huang Taiji ordered someone to slaughter a sheep.
After seeing the dishes on the table, Li Peiting curled his lips and ordered people to go out and take out the ingredients from the baggage he brought, and let the chef he brought cook.
"Second brother is a lucky person. He drinks and eats virtues, and he thinks he is rich. But it makes you, a poor starling, far behind."
Facing Li Peiting's extravagant lifestyle, Huang Taiji didn't think he was disobedient, but just teased himself a little, which was to explain the ridicule to himself.
Looking at the loose skin on the fat black face due to the sudden weight loss, Li Peiting could see that this battle spread almost throughout the Liaoxi Corridor, and the pressure on Huang Taiji was also enormous.
The two chatted for a while, and the chef prepared a sumptuous banquet.Wu Bai and others wanted to make some gestures to check, but they were stopped by Huang Taiji.

"My second brother rewarded you with food and drink. Thank you quickly!"
Huang Taiji ordered Wu Bai, Tulai and others to lead more than a dozen generals with two yellow banners down to enjoy the extremely rich food and wine.After a while, there was a faint sound of gobbling from the back of the hall.Hearing this voice, Li Peiting couldn't help but secretly happy.
"In order to fight this big war, you black fat man, the army is so embarrassed. I don't believe you didn't jump into the pit I dug for you!"

"As for my younger brother, I used this stall to sell some food, grass, weapons, armor, gunpowder and other things to earn some money from the children of Chongzhen in order to support my family."
Hearing Li Peiting frankly admit that he was providing grain and other things to the Ming army, Huang Taiji was not surprised at all. He could see such a businessman's behavior of running back and forth on both sides and earning money on both sides.What's more, Li Peiting has long had continuous business dealings with him.
"A few days ago, the garrison locations of the various ministries of the Ming Army were adjusted. The Shanxi Town, Datong Town, and Model Brigade of the Ming Army that were originally stationed in Songshan were stationed in Jinzhou. As a result, the supplies in Jinzhou City dwarfed by comparison. My younger brother took over and became Jinzhou This is a business of supplies for the Ming army. After the delivery of the supplies is completed, the little brother came to visit the starling."
Hearing Li Peiting's triumphant voice from inside the hall, Tulai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but touch the handle of the knife at his waist.
Huang Taiji in the room was not as excitable as his courtiers. He was so friendly to Li Peiting, who was obviously a pillar of the Ming army, and he just tried to persuade him to drink.Outside the hall, Wu Bai, Tulai and others could only hear bursts of laughter and the sound of wine glasses clinking.
"Second brother. It's such a windy and snowy weather, and it's transporting food, grass and supplies. It's really hard work to think about it. Come on, Brother Yu borrows flowers to present Buddha, let's have another drink!" Huang Taiji began to persuade him to drink frequently.
"Eight, myna, what you said is right! How can you not work hard!? But if you don't work hard, where will you go to make money? It's not a brother bragging with you. Without you brother and me, the Ming court has been 10 years old. Tens of thousands of horses have to drink the northwest wind!"
"Without my surname Li, where can these officers and soldiers in Jinzhou City find the 25 shi of high-quality grain, [-] barrels of authentic Nanzhong gunpowder, [-] high-quality refined firecrackers, and [-] cannons of various colors?" Door, [-] sets of cotton-padded clothes, [-] pairs of armor, and life-saving kits and knife wound medicines enough for tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, as for the grass, beans, salt, and meat, I won’t talk about it!”
Maybe it was because of the alcohol, Li Peiting was obviously a little excited.He transported himself to Jinzhou Zu Dashou and Wu Biao's soldiers and horses to supply food, grass and weapons. He made it clear. I don't know if he was showing off his ability in front of Huang Taiji. Anyway, the voice was very loud. The people heard it clearly, and couldn't help but make the eyes of Wu Bai, Tulai and others burst into flames.
"There are a lot of things, second brother, you are more capable." Huang Taiji's words really came from the heart.Being able to quickly mobilize so much food, grass, weapons, ammunition, armor and medicine in just a few days changed the eight Shanxi merchants under Huang Taiji, something that could not be done even if they were killed.
However, this batch of supplies has obviously attracted Huang Taiji's great interest!For Huang Taiji right now, the first thing he lacks is food, and the second thing he lacks is troops!In order to ensure that the front-line soldiers can eat enough, Huang Taiji has taken the lead in eating only one dry meal a day, and at most they will have some gruel to satisfy their hunger at night.If we can seize the many supplies that Li Peiting mentioned, not to mention that the whole army can let go of their stomachs and eat them for a few months, but those life-saving kits and medicinal materials can pull many wounded soldiers back from the death line and turn them into dragon spirits again. A fierce warrior?
Based on the consumption of 1500 grams of food per person per day, the tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and their families and common people in Jinzhou City, based on the total number of troops of the Ming army at the moment, would consume 13 stones a day for a total of 2500 horses (78kg for one stone, One catty takes 650g) of grain, and one month is 75000 shi. In other words, you have to prepare grain for three months?In this way, at least 225000 shi of grain must be stockpiled in the stronghold.If the 25 shi of grain mentioned by Li Peiting was obtained by Huang Taiji, the Qing army could eat it openly for at least two months.
"Second brother, how did you transport all these supplies of food and grass to Jinzhou City? Let me tell you about it?" Huang Taiji's fat face was full of sincerity.
However, Li Peiting had a smirk on his drunken face, "Brother, I understand what you mean, you are going to ask, ask, is there a loophole in your Jinzhou Changhao from my mouth?" To tell you the truth, I am not so bold as to transport so many things to the city of Jinzhou! Those things, all, are piled up in Xiaolinghe City at the mouth of Xiaoling River! I just took the delivery certificate and went back to get it My price is that. We bachelors continue to make money! Now that I’m gone, those guard officers and soldiers can rest assured and make a fortune boldly!”
The ground is wet after the water has passed, which is for the grain and grass that were handled by the Ming army.Not to mention that Huang Taiji knows the shady joints in these errands in charge of the warehouse, he knows it well. These things are piled up in Xiaolinghe City. I am afraid that the officers and soldiers there will eat their mouths full of oil. Arrived in the city of Jinzhou.It would be nice to have 25 stones.
"20 shi? Myna, you are so kind! My fleet just arrived at the water of the Empress Palace, and the guards sent people to take away nearly [-] shi of grain and rice from the four large ships, and put them in Xiaoling at this moment." In the Guandi Temple in Hecheng, it is said that the military rations were borrowed in advance. Damn, your subordinates are only more than [-] people, and more than half of them are guard soldiers. There are only a few hundred soldiers and servants. Where do you go to eat? Finish the ten thousand shi, grain and rice? This is the obvious thing. It is an open fire to grab!"
After a few glasses of wine, Li Peiting was obviously overwhelmed and fell asleep on the table.
Huang Taiji greeted Li Peiting's followers to come in, and helped "my brother" to the side hall to rest.With a dignified expression, he glanced at Wu Bai, Tulai and others who rushed in one by one.
"Did you hear what he said just now?"
"Return to the master, the servants can hear clearly!"
"Master, according to what the second master of the Li family said, there are only more than [-] Ming soldiers guarding the city of Xiaolinghe. The surrounding city is [-] mile and [-] paces away, and there are still many supplies to be guarded. Just a city gate in the east, there are still more A large number of ships guarding the Niangniang Palace to Xiaolinghe City along the river, how can this small force be my opponent? Master, give this servant a force, and the servant will bring Xiaolinghe City and the food and materials in the city to you! "
The generals of the two yellow flags were also very hungry.There is a large pile of grain and grass in front of them, and these grains and grass are guarded by the bean curd troops in the Ming army. This is clearly sending a large amount of supplies to the Qing army. How can we not excite them?
The Qing army was also very familiar with the terrain and geography from the Niangniang Palace to Xiaolinghe City.
The estuary of Xiaoling River in Jinzhou Bay is called Donghaikou by local people.At this time, the section of the Xiaoling River, below Jinzhou, can be accessed by boats, and the geographical advantages are very obvious.
Since the Song Dynasty, the sea area of the Empress Palace has been a bustling port. In the Ming Dynasty, it was even a race with thousands of sails. A large number of commercial goods were directly transported to the city of Jinzhou through the Xiaoling River.Several Ming army reinforcements.A large number of luggage was transported into Jinzhou City through the Xiaoling River waterway.
The Qing army hated the Xiaoling River with red Suaeda salsa on both sides.
After the hustle and bustle in the camp for a while, Tulai and others led more than [-] soldiers and horses under the leadership of Hauge who was sent by Huang Taiji flying overnight. Yes, set off with vehicles, mules and horses.
"gone?"
In the side hall, Li Peiting, who was soundly asleep under several statues of Arhats, suddenly asked in a low voice to his confidant who was guarding Zuo Fentian by the bed.
"The shopkeepers are all gone. The leader is Huang Taiji's eldest prince Hauge, and there are more than a dozen generals from Zhenglan Qi and Zhenghuang Qi. If that Oboi hadn't recovered from his leg injury, I'm afraid he would have brought him with him. Soldiers go. However, their flags and armor are all inlaid with blue flags. But I don’t know why.”
Huang Taiji's little tactic could not deceive Zuo Fentian, who was born in the year when Shou Han divided the land, but it could not be deceived by Li Peiting, who has traveled north and south for many years and experienced the dangers of the world. He lay on the couch and pondered for a while, and Li Peiting was already But in the chest.
Order these more than 1 people to appear under the Xiaolinghe City in the name of the Xianglan Banner soldiers and horses who besieged Jinzhou, and let those defeated soldiers escape into Jinzhou City to report.Zu Dashou and others in the city will definitely think that the main force of the besieging army is still there, so they will not dare to go out of the city to fight easily.This approach can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only robbed food and supplies, but also intimidated the Jinzhou defenders, making them unclear about the reality of the Qing army in the outer city.
I have to admire that Huang Taiji is able to achieve today's achievements, and he is also a momentary hero.
"Boss, your hand is extremely beautiful! You also gave food to the imperial army, and gave Huang Taiji favors. In this way, Huang Taiji can also have the strength to fight."
The two just communicate in Fujian Mandarin in a low voice, and don't have to worry about leaking secrets.In the anti-thief camp in Liaodong, there are very few people who can understand the official dialect of Nanzhili. Where can I find someone who can understand the Fujian accent?What's more, there are quite a few dialects in the South and Central China in the conversation between the two.It's like talking to two Inuit at the equator.
For Zuofentian, the second generation of Nanzhong who was born after Shouhan took over the family business, Emperor Chongzhen was a very illusory existence, and they only had Li Shouhan in their hearts.As for the title of Li Shouhan, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Such a group of young people happened to be the best development targets for Li Peiting and the Conglong faction.Tune in a little.A large number of young people, such as Zuo Fentian, have become fanatics who support Shou Han to become a great treasure as soon as possible.For such people, Li Peiting naturally gave them the strategic concept of poaching the corners of the official army and letting the Ming army end in a disastrous defeat in this Ming and Qing war.
Only when the Ming army is defeated, can the lord hope to ascend to that supreme position.This is the attitude of almost all the South China Conglong faction on the issue of the decisive battle in Liaodong.
There was nothing to say all night, and the two just slept soundly with their heads covered.I'm not worried about changes in the battle situation outside.If more than 1 elite descendants of Huang Taiji and his son still couldn't deal with more than 2000 guard soldiers, mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, there would be no such battle in Liaodong.
On the mountain road of Yiwulu Mountain, knights came and went to report their victories one after another. The whole camp was filled with joyful atmosphere. A large number of food, grass, gunpowder, weapons and artillery were brought in, especially cotton clothes, meat, food and medicines. For the Liaodong rebel soldiers, it is a good thing that can greatly boost morale.
It seems to be successful!Zuo Fentian, who was waiting for Li Peiting to clean his face and wash his face, smiled at each other with several cronies, without saying anything.
but.When Huang Taiji ordered someone to bring a sumptuous breakfast, Zuo Fentian also raised a little concern.
"Boss, if our actions are discovered and the news leaked, what should we do if the lord blames us?"
Holding a bowl of fragrant rice porridge, Li Peiting, who was enjoying the wonderful combination of Jinzhou side dishes and rice porridge, pouted dismissively.
"We shipped the grain, rice, materials, armor, sticks and medicines in full amount according to the contract. There is also a delivery certificate, and the officers and soldiers can't guard it by themselves. It's none of our men's business?" He rolled his eyes and despised Zuofen's many fields consider.
"Then if someone says that we deliberately leaked information to Huang Taiji, what should we say?"
"I'm a businessman who met Huang Taiji for business, chatted after drinking, and didn't say anything. What does he do is none of my business?"
"Besides, even if someone finds out about this and accuses us, I can still yell at us. He said that we were framed by others, otherwise we are just common people, why would Huang Taiji invite us to his camp for a while?" Gathering? And set up a banquet for entertainment? Isn't this a conspiracy?"
"I didn't say anything, so how can I be held accountable? What's more, even if I said something, I'll just call it "Bang Tianqu" and don't accept it. Do you still cry in public and say that you have been wronged? Then we spend money to hire some shameless scumbags to write articles in the newspaper, saying that we have not been paid, that we have not finished the work, and that the amount of bodhi water has not been poured on the two petals. Red lotus can’t be considered prostitution.”
For Li Peiting's innocent face, Zuo Fentian could only give a thumbs up, secretly admiring in his heart: "Sure enough, he is the major shareholder of Southern Commercial Daily. This brazenness is natural, and it cannot be made by the day after tomorrow."
This day passed quietly in the constant busy atmosphere of Huang Taiji's camp.
At night, Huang Taiji didn't come, but his eldest son Hauge came here according to his father's order. As soon as he entered the door, he took his head and bowed, and he kept calling him second uncle.
"My father has some military affairs to do, so I specially ordered my nephew to come and have dinner with my second uncle. My father said, the friendship of my second uncle will be engraved in my heart from all over the Qing Dynasty. As long as my second uncle says something, everyone in the Eight Banners will be happy." Willing to go through fire and water."
"Hey! Nephew, where does this come from? The certain family is just a businessman. As long as they can do a good job in business, they will be satisfied with being Tao Zhugong."
Hauge is completely different from his father's Chengfu. It is undoubtedly a painful thing for him with a violent temperament to deal with an old stick like Li Peiting.After a hasty dinner, he praised that some military affairs in the battalion had to be done and got up to leave.When he left, he left behind a key to the warehouse, claiming that his father ordered his nephew to give it to his uncle, and it was regarded as a gift to his uncle for Cheng Yi, who was on this trip to western Liaoning.In addition, there is a gold-woven dragon banner with a yellow flag left behind. As long as they enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty, they can fight. Under the dragon banner, no one dares to interfere with uncle's business.
Li Peiting was clear in his heart that Huang Taiji must have collected Liaodong production and various property in the warehouse to pay the price of the funds, and this dragon banner was a reward for his achievements.
"Keep it! In the future, the guys can play it when they are walking around in Liaodong." After leaving Yiwulu Mountain, Li Peiting indifferently ordered Zuo Fentian.
There were a few sharp chirps of eagles in the air, and an accompanying attendant looked into the red clouds, and saw a few crinoids hovering in the air, hurriedly took out a red ribbon from his waist, and waved it in the air.
After a while, a sea dongqing landed on the guy's arm, gripping the arm sleeve made of raw cowhide tightly.Someone took out a note from Haidong Qingying Claw and handed it to Li Peiting.
After reading the few lines written on the note, Li Peiting's expression changed involuntarily.
"Let's go! Hurry up and go back to Hongluoshan camp!"
"Boss, what happened?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, something big happened this time! I can't keep my head if I delay you!"
Li Peiting whipped the whip fiercely on the head of the unknown relative, the second monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, but he had no choice but to urge the horse to follow Li Peiting's mount and park the boat towards the sea ran away from where he was.
"Boss, what happened to the sky?" In the cabin, Zuo Fentian, who was still panting, took a moment to ask Li Peiting in a low voice.
Seeing the strong sea breeze and no one around, Li Peiting lowered his voice and told Zuo Fentian the earth-shattering bad news.
"The eldest lady was injured during the general attack on Tashan!"
