Blood from Daming

Chapter 81
Commander Luo of Datong Wei introduced the real situation of the five forts in the north of Datong Mansion to the officials present. According to Xue Yun's deployment at that time, the five forts in the north belonged to the scope of withdrawing into Datong City, but such a retreat has never happened in the history of Datong. Most of the officers and soldiers and their family members are unable to move from their homeland, so a compromise method was finally found to concentrate manpower and material resources in larger and stronger forts, so that the officers and soldiers of the five forts passed through the command of Datong Weiluo and called them five forts. They all retreated, and received a large amount of housing expenses. Now that Huang Taiji attacked, Datong Weiluo commanded this group of people to shine.

In fact, there are not five forts but two forts now. The five-fort guards in the north gave up the relatively small and difficult to defend Zhenchuan Fort, Zhenlu Fort, and Zhenhe Fort, and concentrated their manpower and material resources on Zhenbian Fort and Hong Kong Fort. Given the two forts in the fort, the first thing Huang Taiji faced when he attacked the five forts in the north was the Zhenbian Fort.

Deputy General Yu Dacheng made a speech: "The five forts in the north originally belonged to my defense area. In the Datong Defense War, our troops retreated to Datong City, and the defense was handed over to Datong Zhenyang Hewei. A small number of our officers and soldiers also stayed in the local forts. Now The strength of the five forts will be combined into the strength of the two forts, and I believe that there will be no problem with the defensive forces in the short term."

Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army: "General Xue still needs to be rescued, otherwise we will not be able to bear the blame if the court finds out about it in the future."

Xue Yun: "Eunuch Zhang, this is obviously Huang Taiji's strategy to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements. If he wants to rescue him, he needs a lot of mobile troops, so he must organize a large-scale cavalry unit."

Deputy General Yu Dacheng was the first to speak: "The five forts in the north are the foundation of our Datong. Our troops have been stationed for a long time with great affection. The rescue of the five forts and our troops are at the disposal of General Xue."

General Liang Shen has just been promoted, of course he has to give Xue Yun face, anyway, he belongs to the cavalry of the left-behind army, so he has less power and treats it as a favor. General, Fei Qian, Lu Yao Jin Qian, Wang Qian, Yang Zhenlei Qian, Wang Qian, You Qian, Ji Tianen, Li Xiaoyong, Li Xiaoyong and the other four responded one after another. Only Zhang Seeing that everyone responded positively with a bitter face, the general had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army: "The record of the defense of Datong City has been reported to the imperial court. I hope everyone will make more military exploits. I believe that the imperial court will not begrudge rewards."

Xue Yun: "The officers and soldiers who participated in the concentrated battle will return to their headquarters after the battle. The losses in the battle will be made up for everyone. Please rest assured."

After the meeting, eunuch Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of Xue Yun's supervisory army, the prefect of Datong Zhao, the deputy general Yu Dacheng, the commander of Datong Wei Luo, General Zhang, general Xue Liu, general Liang, and the leader of Li Zhi County of Datong County held a small meeting together.

A detailed analysis of the entire defense area of ​​Datong Mansion was made, and a comprehensive battle plan was formulated: roughly, the prefect of Datong Zhao, the two deputy generals Yu Dacheng were responsible for defending the city, and General Liang Shen assisted in the defense.Xue Yun, Datong Wei Luo Commander, and Zhang Shen will gather Datong cavalry cameras to save Zhenbian Fort and Hongci Fort.

Xue Yun's troops consisted of generals Xue Liu and Lu Yaojinqian with a total force of more than 500 people.Lieutenant General Yu Dacheng sent 1000 troops, and Miss Yu led 500 family members, a total of 300 troops.Datong Wei Luo commanded [-] soldiers and generals to cooperate, Zhang Shen led [-] soldiers and horses from the headquarters, and Liang Shen general You Qian led [-] cavalry to listen to, a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses at any time Get ready to go out of town to the rescue.

Xue Yun finally put forward solemnly: "Everyone is concerned about the issue of medicine kits, and President Yang Zhen Lei Qian of the General Military Mansion dispatched them to use them. The defense of the Datong Mansion should let go of any thoughts about the Xuan Mansion and base itself on its own survival."

Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army: "Does Xuanda dare to ignore the court's laws and regulations? Isn't he afraid that the national law is ruthless?"

Xue Yun: "Eunuch Zhang, the last time the merchant rebellion in Datong hit Xuanfu, the two sides have long regarded it as fire and water. The last time Abatai invaded Datong was the disaster of Xuanfu moving eastward. The news of Xuanfu's closure of Datong made our Datong side Hurry up and fight, although we were lucky enough to win, Fei Qian's headquarters almost lost all casualties." Everyone agreed with Xue Yun's point of view.

Xue Yun: "The magistrate of Datong, Deputy General Yu, and General Liang Can not only rely on the Xuanfu, but also focus on prevention. Historical experience proves that the most terrifying enemy comes from within. General Liang Shen, you are in charge of the Dongmen Xuanfu. You plan for the worst. , we must treat no news as bad news, ignore any orders from the Xuanfu, and prohibit any Xuanfu personnel from entering the city, General Liang Shen and Mr. Wang Qian, do you understand?"

Liang Shenjiang hesitated for a moment: "Master Xue, I can do it."

Mr. Wang Qian: "I understand."

Xue Yun decided to transfer Chief Fei Qian to guard the south gate and Xiong Wei to assist in the defense, Wang Qian's remaining four generals in Ximen to assist in the defense, Li Xiaoyong to serve as the chief, and Ji Tianen to stay in the general's mansion as a maneuver.Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army, encouraged everyone to separate and leave after killing the enemy and making meritorious service.

Wu Keshan caught an opportunity to escape back to his camp and never came out again. Wu Keshan's mind has become more active these days.

Bayar came back to report: the eldest sister Harijula ​​and Xue Yun have accomplished their good deeds.

Wu Keshan himself was not at ease and sent people to see Harijula ​​many times, and found that Harijula ​​was really a young melon, and the two were very affectionate.Between the two daughters of Harijula ​​and Bumbutai, Wu Keshan prefers the younger sister Harijula, so when Nurhachi proposed to Huang Taiji, Wu Keshan persuaded his father to give it to Bumbutai in pain. In fact, he was not very optimistic about Huang Taiji future.

Now that Wu Keshan and Huang Taiji are very good in-laws, and Xue Yun has a brother-in-law, he has the idea of ​​stepping on two boats. No matter how good Huang Taiji is, he is no more than a Baylor. Robbing for a living, I was originally a bunch of savages, why not Wu Keshan, I am also a descendant of the golden family Genghis Khan, now I have the opportunity of Xue Yun, Xue Yun promised the largest trade rights outside the mouth of the Ming Dynasty, think about the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty to earn money in the future Daming sea-like money, sitting at home counting money and still thinking about fighting, can get it from the negotiating table, which fool would joke about the lives of the clansmen.

With Xue Yun's support, Wu Keshan is not as afraid of Lin Danhan as before, and looks down on the five parts of Khalkha even more.

Huang Taiji actually let me sit on an equal footing with the five Khalkha tribes. Did Huang Taiji make a mistake? Most of the five Khalkha tribes escaped from the Bayuete, Kuerga, Zalut, Muboha, and Qibush tribes Most of the branches are still in the hands of Lin Danhan. The five people who followed Huang Taiji were all split or abandoned by the tribe. Now they are attached to Jianzhou Jurchen and are completely slaves of Nurhachi.

Wu Keshan had nearly 4 troops in his retreat camp, Huang Taiji originally had more than 7000 soldiers, but fewer than 8000 soldiers were killed, wounded, and able to fight. The five divisions of Khalkha had [-] soldiers, but most of them came out to rob The refugees could not fight against the Ming army at all. The other seven or eight thousand soldiers were brave, but they were deceived by Huang Taiji from a remote and barren land, thinking that in the Ming Dynasty, the ground was full of gold, and their own weapons and armor were not uniform. The consequences for the Ming army can be imagined.

Wu Keshan has been hiding from Huang Taiji for several days, and today Huang Taiji called someone to remind him, Wu Keshan is a dwarf who has become determined after eating weights, so he asked his subordinates to block the coming, only saying that the master is seriously ill and no one will be seen.

But now there is a lot of commotion outside the door, and his subordinates reported to Huang Taiji to forcefully ram into the big tent. Wu Keshan ordered that only Huang Taiji be allowed to come to the big tent. He suffered a loss last time and immediately arranged personal guards to take strict precautions this time. After getting ready Only then did the servants let Huang Taiji enter the account alone.

When Huang Taiji came alone, he was furious: "Why did you hide for a few days and refused to meet me?"

Wu Keshan said sadly: "It's really because the people of the clan were killed and injured too much and fell ill with sorrow and anger. There is still a mood to receive outsiders."

Huang Taiji was extremely angry: "You and my family have become outsiders. At the beginning you agreed to send troops together, but now you have to go back on your word."

Wu Keshan: "Sit down and talk first. There are too many casualties in the tribe. The Southern Dynasties and the Ming Dynasty are not as easy to fight as you said. We can't deal with that firearm alone. No matter how many people go, it's useless. If everyone dies, I will be Horqin." The orphans and widows in the Ministry became the food on Lin Danhan's plate."

Huang Taiji saw Wu Keshan's many people and knew that using violence would not work, so he sat down and persuaded him: "You and I will work together to defeat the Ming army in Datong. When the time comes, our Jurchen will only need Xue Yun's head on the neck, and open the whole city of Datong." Property and people are all up to you.”

Wu Keshan laughed: "If you don't want Jurchen, why don't the five tribes of Khalkha follow you to drink the northwest wind?"

Seeing that Wu Keshan had seen through his own lie, Huang Taiji was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, so he held back his anger and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Wu Keshan: "If you go to fight me, I won't take your life to go in, but I have killed tens of thousands of people and you broke the city. You can't lose me for the share you promised me."

Huang Taiji laughed angrily: "Wu Keshan, you are such a scoundrel, you are so disrespectful to my Jurchen today, won't you be afraid of our Jurchen's revenge in the future?"

Wu Keshan: "Huang Taiji, you sent troops without permission, and you lost your troops and lost your generals. You escaped and blamed your brothers. You have to go through the Ming Dynasty and your father Khan first." Wu Keshan couldn't help sneering.

Huang Taiji: "Okay, okay, I can still defeat Xue Yun without you, and you will regret it when the time comes."

Wu Keshan: "Don't talk big, Huang Taiji, I'm sitting here watching now, and it won't be too late for us to say regrets after you defeat Xue Yun."

Huang Taiji left in a huff after hearing this, and Wu Keshan sneered as he sat there.
