Blood from Daming

Chapter 413 Majority
With the cooperation of Xue Polu's blasting team, Zhao Lediao's team defeated the Jianlu of Phoenix Fort. However, in the street battle in Phoenix Fort, hundreds of officers and soldiers of Zhao Ledjiao's former guards were killed. Unfortunately, most of the Ming troops who participated in the attack were not Jianzhou Jurchens, but non-Jianzhou Jurchens from Sakhalian Ula (Heilongjiang), as well as Korean and Liao people. Zhao led the way for a while. In a mixture of anger and hatred, they slaughtered all the captives who participated in the fight against the officers and soldiers of the Ming army, even those who escaped home and those family members of Jianlu who participated in the fight against the Ming army were not spared.

Mao Yuanyi listened to what Zhao Rate taught, although he didn't think much of Zhao Rate's actions in Phoenix Fort, but Mao Yuanyi knew that these generals hated his verbosity, so he tried his best to endure these idle things, although Zhao Rate taught was a bit cruel , but those common people living in Phoenix Castle also have their own way of death.

Zhao led the teaching and said: "The last general fought all the way from Liaoyang City to Phoenix Fort, and found that the further south our Ming army went, the more people in these places rejected our Ming army. Many Koreans and Liao people were desperate to join Jianlu .”

Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing were a little sad when they learned that the Liao people of Dongningwei in Liaodong turned their backs to the Ming Dynasty. Man Gui said: "Before going further south, it was the territory of Dongjiang Town. The country is more generous to the various ethnic groups living here, so that the Liao people also forget their ancestors."

Zhao Lengjiao said: "Brother Polu, we are now in the Phoenix Fort area, should we go to Yizhou Prefecture or somewhere else?"

Xue Polu said: "The terrain around Yizhou Prefecture is flat, why don't we cross the Yalu River first, and then make a detour to Yizhou Prefecture, so as to avoid being chased by Jianlu and facing a dilemma on the Yalu River."

Yu Anxing said: "What Polu means is, but going to Yizhou Prefecture from the willow side of Phoenix City, is it impossible to go west to Kuandian and enter North Korea?"

Xue Polu said: "Yes, it is the safest way to go north from Kuandian, let the Yalu River enter North Korea's Ping'an East Road, and transfer to Ping'an West Road."

Mao Yuanyi said: "There may still be our Daming West Route Army on the Shuangtaizi River line. If our East Route Army leaves, won't we be disregarding the life and death of our friendly troops?"

Man Gui said: "Mr. Mao regards the West Route Army as a friendly army, but the West Route Army does not regard us as a friendly army."

Mao Yuanyi said: "No matter what you say, you can't go to North Korea evasively. In this way, not only will the court blame you in the future, but also how to return to Daming is also a problem when the army stays in North Korea, a place of bitter cold."

Xue Polu smiled and said, "Mr. Mao, we will go to the Denglai governor Yuan Keli when we go back to the Ming Dynasty. Isn't our Eastern Route Army's achievements in Anshan Yibao, Liaoyang City, Motianling and Phoenix Fort not enough?"

Mao Yuanyi shook his hand and said, "That's not the case. Our Eastern Route Army's military exploits have been outstanding. It's just for the students to see Jianlu encircling and annihilating our West Route Army. If they don't know it, it's fine. Do you know this? How can you let it go?" Let's go."

Xue Polu said: "Mr. Mao, the enemy's situation is unknown now, and the Three Banners of Huang Taiji will arrive sooner or later. Staying in Phoenix Fort or going south to Liaodong Bay is a dead end. Let's think about it carefully."

Man Gui said: "The Kuandian area used to be Mao Wenlong's territory. The Ming army has a mass base here, and the intelligence is clear. It's not like in the wicker side of Phoenix Fort. They are all Liao people who were bought by Jianlu. Let's take a look." Well, we still have blind eyes, and we don’t know what’s going on around us.”

Mao Yuanyi said: "General Man is going to leave Kuandian for North Korea."

Man Gui replied: "Yes, the final general thinks that brother Polu's plan is the most appropriate."

Mao Yuanyi asked, "Xilong, what do you mean?"

Zhao led the way and said: "The last general, the few obey the majority,"

Mao Yuanyi said: "Then Zhongqing, tell me whether to go to Liaodong Bay in Yizhou, or go to Kuandian to cross the Yalu River."

Yu Anxing smiled and said: "Zhisheng, let's go to Kuandian and cross the Yalu River. If we go directly to Yizhou Prefecture, if we encounter a large group of Jianlu troops, our East Route Army will not be afraid. Liao people think about it."

Mao Yuanyi was a little discouraged and said: "Just act according to your main points, but after the siege of Yizhou Prefecture is lifted, you must go back to Liaodong as soon as you have a chance, and you can't stay in North Korea to play a role in yourself."

Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao naturally agreed, and Xue Polu nodded. The see-saw meeting finally came to an end. Everyone bid farewell to Mao Yuanyi and went back to their residence to rest, but Xue Polu was stopped by Mao Yuanyi. Xue Polu looked at Yu Anxing helplessly, and Yu Anxing patted Xue Polu on the shoulder and left with Man Gui and Zhao Liaojiao.

Mao Yuanyi signaled Xue Polu to sit next to him, and Xue Polu did not disobey Mao Yuanyi's intention and sat next to him. Mao Yuanyi said with a smile: "Polu, the student can see that Liaodong Pingjian is none other than you. This time back to Liaodong, the students will definitely recommend you in front of Mr. Jinglue for your great achievements in defeating the Liaoyang City, I believe that there is no problem in giving you the position of the commander-in-chief."

Xue Polu smiled and said, "Sir, it doesn't matter if you are in charge of the army or not, as long as our common people in Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, we will be satisfied."

Mao Yuanyi praised: "Polu, you really understand righteousness, it's a pity that there are too few generals like Polu who are loyal to the emperor, love the people and have the ability."

Xue Polu said: "Sir, Polu is a rough man, he does whatever he thinks of, and he does everything according to his own conscience."

Mao Yuanyi said: "After saving Yizhou Mansion this time, you should also go back to Shanhaiguan with the East Route Army. Master Jinglue has always been very optimistic about you, and you have lived up to the high hopes of Master Jinglue."

Xue Polu nodded and did not answer, Mao Yuanyi sighed and said: "Polu, Liaodong generals are indeed xenophobic. When your official position is higher than them, these people will not only behave like tails in front of Polu."

Xue Polu already understood what Mao Yuanyi's purpose was, Xue Polu still said patiently: "Sir, Polu came to Liaodong to fight the Tartars, if you go back this time, Mr. Jinglue will take advantage of Polu's meager skills." For the sake of letting my Xue family army return to the Beijing camp, it is better than giving Polu some official rewards."

Mao Yuanyi said embarrassingly: "Polu, you know, now Liaodong is employing people, how can a general like Polu who can win the battle allow you to stay in the pass and enjoy happiness."

Xue Polu said: "Sir, there is nothing to shirk from beating the Tartars. The last general is worried about internal conflict among his own people. I don't know if sir has a solution."

Mao Yuanyi sighed and said: "Polu, I hope that no matter what you do, you will put the Ming Dynasty and the court as the most important thing, serve the country loyally and cut off the Jianlu."

Xue Polu came out of Mao Yuanyi's residence and ran directly back to the camp of the Xue Family Army's Central Army. When he arrived, Lu Yaojin greeted him. Lu Yaojin told Xue Polu: "Second Uncle, Master Yu is waiting in your tent. you."

Xue Polu took three steps and approached his tent in two steps, Yu Anxing was the only one in the tent, after Xue Polu retreated to the left and right, he went to see Mr.

Yu Anxing said, "Polu, how are you talking with Mr. Mao?"

Xue Polu sat opposite Yu Anxing: "Mr. Mao just hopes that the humble official will return to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible to receive the reward."

Yu Anxing said with a smile: "Mr. Mao told Ben Fu that he would recommend you to the Economic and Strategy Master as the Chief Officer of Liaodong Frontier Zhengyin."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, go back and face Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and the others. There is a saying that it is easy to hide an open spear and difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. Rather than defending against bandits every day under the hands of Master Jinglue, I would rather not be the general soldier."

Yu Anxing said: "Polu takes it very seriously. In fact, you are not a fuel-efficient lamp. Polu, are you really planning to stay in North Korea for a long time?"

Xue Polu said: "My lord, I don't want to avoid disaster in North Korea. Why don't I go back to Ningyuan to fight with Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou? Isn't this a way of expressing Jianlu's wishes, and I have a chance to defeat our Liaodong army one by one."
