Blood from Daming

Chapter 349
Xue Si discussed secretly with Xue Polu and Lu Yaojin in the big tent, Xue Polu asked Xue Si, "Is there any new information from the young master's side?"

Xue Si said: "The young master did have news that the second brother should be especially vigilant in Liaodong and start to implement the "Condor Plan". However, what I saw in Shanhaiguan and the military camp these two days, this "Vulture The plan "is about to undergo major adjustments."

Xue Polu asked in surprise: "How should this "Condor Plan" be adjusted?"

Xue Si said: "Originally, the young master's "Condor Project" was to let our Xue family in Liaodong find a support point along the coast, and they were optimistic about the seaside south of Ningyuan, but since the incident of Jianlu peace talks, Xue's family suffered terribly from Jianlu and the imperial court. Not only the young master's life is sad, but the capital is also in a mess. I was nakedly bought by Mr. Sun Chengzong of Liaodong Economic Strategy in Shanhaiguan Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion yesterday, and today I saw Yu Dahui, President Ma Ba Liaodong and Li have betrayed us, and now the Liaodong side is also targeting our Xue family, so Liaodong cannot stay in this place."

Lu Yaojin heard Xue Si's words and said: "A few days ago, Mr. Sun helped us and jointly signed a letter to the court to appeal for Xue's family with the officials of Liaodong. The officials came up with our idea."

Xue Polu said: "Isn't it? A few days ago, the imperial envoy of the imperial court and the eldest son Xue Jie of the Dafang came here. It turned out that they were all playing tricks."

Xue Si said: "Based on strategic analysis, Ms. Xue Zhuang Chen's intelligence department believes that the plan to build a support point on the seashore south of Ningyuan is outdated. Your troops entered North Korea to establish an anti-Jian captive base."

Xue Polu asked: "Establish a base in North Korea, oh, this is Miss Chen's meaning."

Xue Si said: "According to Ms. Chen, this plan is the young master's backup plan. It is considered to wait until Mistress Yan finds a seaport in Hangzhou and establishes a sea line of communication. I didn't expect the situation in Liaodong to change too fast. You stay The risk in Liaodong is very high, so Ms. Chen revised the plan to allow Xue Jiajun to enter North Korea in advance."

Xue Polu said: "So the young master has already had the idea of ​​entering North Korea."

Xue Si replied: "Young master, what you mean is that the Xue family army united with the army of the Korean royal court and nailed a nail on the side of Jianlu, so that North Korea was tied to the chariot against Jianlu by us, and the Xue family army in Liaodong also got rid of it." The danger of being annexed by the imperial court."

Xue Polu said: "Once our army goes deep into North Korea alone, it may arouse the resentment of the North Korean side. In this way, there will be many problems with my army's food, grass, supplies and soldiers."

Xue Si replied: "Don't worry, these second brothers, Mistress Yan has already controlled a sea terminal in Hangzhou. It is only a matter of time before the communication line from Hangzhou to Liaodong or North Korea is established. Once the sea communication line is established, Xue's family in the south of the Yangtze River will I have continuously sent personnel and various materials to you, second brother."

Xue Polu said: "This is great, just to get rid of Mr. Yu Qian, Mr. Ma Ba, and Mr. Li..."

Xue Si said: "Your team will play by ear in Yizhou. If you have any difficulties, you can also consider "Operation God Condor". Take the team to the extreme north of Horqin, and the young master will respond, but this road is very dangerous. .”

Xue Polu nodded happily and said: "Korqin will not consider it for the time being. I want to take the team to North Korea. If Jin is asked, we will prepare to transfer the whole army."

Lu Yaojin nodded in agreement, and then the three discussed the specific steps to go to North Korea, as well as the arrangement for the recruits and supplies brought by Xue Si. After discussion, the three decided that there was no shortage of weapons and armor in the military camp. Armors were issued to the thousand recruits, and the thousand recruits were quickly dispersed and placed in the team.

What Xue Polu lacked the most were firearms, gunpowder, and grenades. Fortunately, Xue Zhuang knew the dangerous situation of Xue Polu in Liaodong, and made the greatest effort to replenish Xue Polu with firearms, gunpowder, and grenades, including 150 new models. Fire system, this batch of fire system can shoot farther, the shooting accuracy is higher, and the life of the fire system is longer. In addition, there are more than 3000 grenades, and for the first time, [-] finished explosive packs have been delivered. A thousand catties, including a batch of fuses, iron nails, kraft paper, small hemp rope, silk cloth and other materials for the production of explosive kits.

This time, most of the food that Xue Si brought could not be taken away. They had to be left in the barracks. The rest were those fishermen who were considering defecting to Xue’s army. Xue Polu asked Xue Si to bring these fishermen who were willing to leave Liaodong into the pass. However, these Liao people want to leave Liaodong, without the guide issued by the governor of Shanhaiguan, it is not an easy task to cross the pass of Shanhaiguan.

The small meeting of Xue Polu, Xue Si, and Lu Yaojin was over, and then the three held an enlarged meeting of General Xue. In addition to Xue Polu, Xue Si, and Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming and Zhang Sanzhu , Yan Laoyao, Wang Ping, Tao Yaofu and other confidant generals also participated. Xue Polu asked all generals to mobilize at this military expansion meeting to prepare for a thorough strategic shift.

Except for Zhang Sanzhu who raised a few small questions among these generals, the other generals unconditionally expressed their execution of the order, and then they went to the outside of the account to distribute the recruits. Xue Si walked behind and handed a letter written by Xue Aoren to Zhang Sanzhu. Seeing that it was the master's letter, Zhang Sanzhu tore open the letter and read it. The content of Xue Aoren's letter was very simple, which was to ask Zhang Sanzhu to obey Xue Polu's order unconditionally.

Zhang Sanzhu heaved a sigh of relief after reading the letter, turned sideways and said to Xue Polu who was walking behind: "General, don't worry, although my subordinates don't understand your plan, I, Zhang Sanzhu, will carry out your orders unconditionally."

Xue Polu and Xue Si both secretly thought, it is really a dog who takes a trap, this Zhang Sanzhu is taking Xue Aoren's package of medicine, as long as Xue Aoren orders, Zhang Sanzhu will resolutely carry out.

Soon Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, Zhang Sanzhu, Yan Laoyao, Wang Ping, Tao Yaofu and other Xue family generals divided up the thousand recruits, and the thousand sets of armor were taken away with the recruits, 150 The new firearms were handed over to Zuo Ming, and the explosive kits, grenades, gunpowder, and materials for producing explosive kits, together with food and other supplies, were sent to the rear battalion for custody.

What Xue Polu is most worried about now is that there is too much food, and the team is about to leave Qiantun. He has kept more than 2000 shi of grain and five or six hundred shi of beans, and will leave them to Yu Qianzong, Ma Bazong, and Li Bazong for free in the future Or those Liaodong troops, Xue Polu felt a little unwilling.

Xue Polu called Lu Yaojin to come to discuss, Xue Polu said: "I want gold, I want to exchange some flat vans with Lao Zhao in Qianweitun and Zhongqiansuocheng for some extra grain, please work hard to take care of this matter. "

Lu Yaojin asked: "How many vans are you going to exchange for the general?"

Xue Polu said: "Our entire team plus new recruits is only more than 3000 people. There are nearly [-] flat vans in the battalion. It is okay to form a long snake formation. If we build a round formation or block the four sides, we will lack a lot of flat vans. Vans, it is estimated that at least two hundred flat vans are barely enough."

Lu Yaojin said: "General, how much grain do we plan to exchange?"

Xue Polu said: "It's about a thousand shi of grain. If they think it's not enough, ask them if they want weapons and armor. Anyway, we can't take these things away, so don't worry too much about the exchange price with them."

Lu Yaojin said, "Okay, I know how to deal with it."

As soon as Lu Yaojin left the tent of the Chinese army, Xue Polu's soldiers accompanied Wen Bo to the front of the tent. Xue Polu said, "Uncle Wen, you are here, hurry up and sit in the tent."

Wen Bo asked: "Master General, what can you do with this old man?"

Xue Polu welcomed Uncle Wen into the tent of the Chinese army and said, "Uncle Wen, I do have something to tell you, my senior."

Xue Polu, Xue Si, and Wen Bo came to sit down in the big tent. Xue Polu said, "Uncle Wen, our team is about to set off. I would like to ask Uncle Wen the wishes of the fishermen who drive our team." I don't want to go in."

Wen Bo asked in surprise: "General Xue, don't you come back to Qiantun?"

Xue Polu nodded heavily and said: "Uncle Wen, our Xue family army will not return to Qiantun for this expedition, so this junior wants to bring the fishermen who work for us into the pass."

Wen Bo was silent for a while and said: "In the middle, the old man's family will go with you, and the other fishermen will go to mobilize, but there is no problem with what they promised them at the beginning."

Xue Polu smiled and said: "No problem, isn't it just a big boat for each fisherman, Uncle Wen, let them choose freely to stay, but the fishermen who don't go to the pass can come to the military camp tomorrow to receive double the supplies. .”
