Blood from Daming

Chapter 85
After Huang Taiji passed out again, the witch doctor stepped forward and rubbed and rubbed for a long time before Huang Taiji woke up with a sick look.

The slave came up to rinse Huang Taiji's mouth, and after a while of rest, Huang Taiji calmed down and asked, "How many sons have you returned from Datong?"

The servant replied: "There are more than 1000 people, and hundreds of them were captured by Master Seven."

Huang Taiji looked up at Abatai, and Abate said, "Eighth brother, these slaves don't know how to praise, and most of them want to escape back to Mongolia. I chased them closely. Some of them joined Wu Keshan's camp in Horqin. I'm going to ask for help." It's a shame that Wu Keshan doesn't pay any attention, and he refuses to release a single person."

Lying there, Huang Taiji thought, the more than 1000 Mongols would be a big trouble when they came back. The Ming army treated the Mongols kindly because they wanted to divide Mongolia, build a state, and issue an order to kill Tartars to establish a large Mongol state to resist the Jin Dynasty. The army's intentions are even more sinister. Xue Yun of Datong tried to use Mongolia to deal with us and build a state, so as to achieve the goal of using barbarians to control barbarians.

Huang Taiji: "Korqin and Wu Keshan are two-sided people, so don't worry about him for the time being. It may not be a good thing that Brother Seven has come back with two ambitions. I am very weak and want to take a rest. I will be too tired to attack the town and border fort tomorrow. Brother Seven."

Zhenbian Fort is one of the five forts under the jurisdiction of Datong Town. It was originally a non-official garrison castle. In the 18th year of Jiajing, this city was rebuilt for garrison and named after Zhenbian Fort.In the 11th year of Wanli, the fort wall was covered with bricks.There are eighty steps in the city on three weeks, and the height is four feet and one foot. The town border fort is divided into 21 miles of the Great Wall, thirty side piers, and six fire road piers.Now that the combined manpower and material resources of several forts have increased, although it cannot be said to be impenetrable, it is not possible to attack just by attacking.

The Jianzhou Tartars besieged the town and border forts for a long time, and they had no real intention of attacking the city and looting the village. They just wanted to obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

Abate led the five tribes of Khalkha in Mongolia to besiege the border fort, but a large number of siege equipment was lost and destroyed at the north gate of Datong. After picking up the wood, some soft ladders were improvised, and the simple wooden cart commanded the Mongolian soldiers to carry them to the border fort of the town.

Xue Yun chatted with Eunuch Zhang of the Supervising Army and Zhao Zhifu of Datong in the Supervising Army Mansion (General Town Office). Eunuch Zhang highly appreciated Xue Yun's elusiveness when he was fighting Huang Taiji.

Annihilate 8000 enemies, and only dozens of people died. If you fight this kind of battle a few more times, the Jianzhou Tartars will be weak, and the military situation of the entire Datong and even the Xuanda area will be greatly improved. Zhang The father-in-law reported to the emperor and Eunuch Wei about Xue Yun's strategic plan against Mongolia and Jurchen to kill the Tartars and the anti-gold national defense army, together with this time's record.

Eunuch Zhang is in a very good mood. With so many eunuchs coming out to oversee the army, he has almost lost all the battles against the Jianzhou Tartars. Only he has won many battles under Xue Yun's glory. Ancestor Wei has already stated that he will break the rules and be promoted when he goes back.

When it comes to the order to kill the Tartars and the anti-gold national defense army, the magistrate of Datong is a little worried: "In fact, the implementation of these two matters will benefit Datong and the court more than harm, but we should report to the court first so that we can immediately Invincible."

Xue Yun: "Mr. Zhifu, as long as I am a person, I will do things that are beneficial to the court and the people. As for the merits and demerits in the future, I don't think too much. When these things are reported to the court, those literati who have made a fortune by engaging in internal friction are good things. It will become a bad thing, but if there is any disadvantage, I will bear it myself."

Zhao Zhifu of Datong: "General Xue said that we are comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe. I just remind the general to be careful."

Xue Yun: "Please bear with me if Xue Yun, the magistrate, has any wrong language. I just want to do something for the country and the people."

Eunuch Zhang, Supervisor of the Army: "General Xue, you also mentioned to me before that some things have to be done by people. We don't care how the civil servants in the court try to deceive each other. We must believe in justice and feel at ease."

Someone from the Supervisory Mansion sent someone to report: "Deputy General Yu of the North Gate has sent some warriors who killed the Tartars to receive the award."

Eunuch Zhang of the Supervising Army: "To receive the reward, it is natural to go to the Commander's Mansion, why come to the Supervising Army's Mansion."

The officer from the Supervisory Army Mansion said, "Indeed, those Mongolians who claimed to have assassinated Niu Luzhang Jingda Yinbu in Jianzhou sent it here to ask your lords for instructions because the officials under the General Military Mansion did not dare to do it themselves."

Xue Yun, Eunuch Zhang of the Supervising Army, and the Governor of Datong Zhao received several Mongolian warriors in the official hall of the Military Supervising Mansion. He showed it to Xue Yun. Xue Yun looked at it and found that the wound on the skull was shriveled and there was no trace of blood. It was clearly cut off with a knife after a long time of death.

Xue Yun asked the people from the General Military Mansion and Deputy General Yu below: "Has the head been verified?"

At the General Military Mansion, Deputy General Yu and his staff all replied: "It is indeed the leader of Jianzhou Niu Luzhang Jingda Yinbu."

Xue Yun: "Then reward 1000 taels of silver according to regulations, and satisfy him as much as possible if you have any requirements." Several Mongolians were about to thank En and leave. They were only allowed to leave after a reward of ten taels of silver.

Eunuch Zhang, the supervisor of the army: "General Xue, I see that you have asked for a long time to find out anything."

Xue Yun: "As soon as I asked, Huang Taiji was already seriously ill, and Abatay was attacking the border fort, and they were full of internal conflicts, making life difficult."

Eunuch Zhang nodded, the prefect of Datong Zhao hesitated and asked, "Other officials can understand it, but it's just that there are many internal conflicts among the Tartars. I don't know what the basis for General Xue is."

Xue Yun: "The magistrate is a scholar and always likes to be clean. I didn't take a closer look at the fact that the head was chopped off after a long time of death. It can be seen that there are already serious problems inside."

Zhao Zhifu of Datong: "General Xue knows that the person who received the reward is a dead body, so he can completely expose him."

Xue Yun: "Master Zhifu, as long as the head is brought by the Mongols, we will pay according to the head. He doesn't need to care about the source. Maybe Huang Taiji's head will be delivered in a few days." The three laughed loudly. Laughing, Xue Yun went home after discussing the next step to rescue the town border fort.

Abatai led the five tribes of Khalkha in Mongolia to start a large-scale attack on the town's border fort. The two tribes who were most active were the Muboha tribe and the Qibush tribe. On the north side, a soft ladder was set up to climb the wall, and a large area was knocked down by the stone cannons in the fort. Although few people were killed, there were a lot of injuries. Hundreds of corpses.

The Bayuete Division and the [-]nd Division of the Kua'er Division, which attacked the west, had already been frightened and had no intention of fighting. Their confidence in the Jianzhou Jurchen had dropped to the point of failing. In addition, the lack of manpower was chilled by the Datong Ming Army the day before yesterday. Just screaming under the fort wall for a while, grinding foreign workers hastily.

The leader of Jalut's Ji Laxi has seen the strength of the Ming army, and his tribe was held hostage by Nurhachi and he was not willing to do so. Now that the Ming army is not fuel-efficient, his mind is starting to come alive, and the scene is lacking in lively content. They played routines together on and off the fort wall, and after the performance, they withdrew the troops and went back to the camp. At first, the people in the town border fort thought it was a trick of the Tartars. Afterwards, it was confirmed that only the east and north were playing for real, so they adjusted it. The deployment scene looks dangerous, but it is actually very safe.

Abatai led the Jianzhou Tatars to monitor the army around the periphery. He had been busy for a whole day, and when there was no chance, he took the team back to the camp. Abate went to see Huang Taiji to report the battle situation of the attack on the town's border fort. Huang Taiji just arrived today. It is better, and there is no hope that they can capture the town and border fort in one day. They just encourage Abate to continue to work hard tomorrow, with special emphasis on protecting the safety of the Jurchen soldiers in Jianzhou, and not letting them make unnecessary sacrifices.

The next day, Abate was about to issue an order to send troops to attack the town’s border fort. A slave reported that all the heads of the Jurchen soldiers parked behind the barracks at dawn were gone. It didn't work, so he ran to Huang Taiji's big tent without rushing to send troops.

Abatai came in and told Huang Taiji about the missing heads of the Jurchen soldiers. Huang Taiji said that he already knew about it just now and sighed, "This is what I am most worried about. The Mongols are greedy for the Ming Dynasty's huge profits, and they are blinded by their desire to cut off our Jurchen warriors." The person who cut off the head has gone to the Ming country." After speaking, he closed his eyes.

Abatai was so angry that he thumped his thigh and said viciously: "If I want to catch them, I will smash them to pieces, wow."

Huang Taiji closed his eyes and said: "The most dangerous thing now is that the dignity of our Jurchens has been trampled on. How the Mongolian ministries will treat us in the future is the most difficult and thorny thing for us at present. The Mongols in the camp may not I can't stand it anymore."

Abatai: "These Mongolian barbarians are ignorant and clever enough to cut off some dead heads. The officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not fools and may not give them money."

Huang Taiji shook his head: "Today Xue Yun, the leader of the Datong of the Ming Dynasty, although he is very young, he is proficient in culture and martial arts. His thinking is completely different from that of ordinary Ming officials. He only seeks the end and does not care about the means. Maybe it is because his family members died. There are too many in the hands of my Jurchen warriors, and I hate my Jurchen clan very much for wanting to destroy our Jianzhou. If this person is not eliminated, it will be a great harm to our clan, and I will go back and report to the Great Khan to use all means to get rid of Xue Yun as a scourge."
