Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

Sicheng is the first city built on his grassland, but it is not the last city. According to Yang Chendong’s intention, we want to build a model here, and if we build a city here in the future, it is enough for everyone to learn from it. In order to make this model as perfect as possible, he had to put in more effort.

In addition to the construction of Sicheng, Yang Chendong was not afraid to inquire about the Mongolian tribe in Mobei.

The Mobei Mongolian subdivisions are the biggest threat to the north of the Western District. They are different from the Huwaier tribe from afar. They originally belonged here and have great survival on this soil. Ability, if it is not suppressed, will sooner or later become a major problem. Not to mention, now that there is a famous general like Fan Yuhai to assist him, it is really uneasy not to destroy him.

If you want to destroy a person, you don’t just kill it, but also maimed it. As the old saying goes, the army will attack the army, then the army will be attacked, then the army will be attacked, and the city will be attacked.

Yang Chendong chose the strategy of enlisting soldiers. This is why he did not order Sude Khan’s life when he implemented the beheading policy in the capital city, but just wanted him to hurt his body. Where.

What he wants is to create opportunities for Fan Yuhai. Faced with an injured Khan, he believes that such an opportunity, smart people will definitely seize the opportunity and know how to do it. It can also be seen from the intelligence sent by the Security Bureau that Fan Yuhai did not disappoint.

After the defeat of the capital city, Fan Yuhai followed the Mongolian army to the Mobei Mongolian tribe, and went home in Xi’an along the Yinma River. In order to stabilize the situation, the injured Sude Khan temporarily handed over the military power to Fan Yuhai, in order to prevent the mercenaries from winning the pursuit.

But as time passed, the mercenaries did not appear. Sud Khan became tense while sighed in relief, because he suddenly discovered that the guards around him suddenly They were all replaced, and the people who used to be with me were gone, replaced by strange faces.

Just ask carefully, and then I realize that these people are Fan Yuhai’s confidants. The replacement was also an order from him. On the grounds of protecting the Khan’s absolute safety, he was completely protected and isolated on the surface, but in fact it was just that’s all under house arrest.

Fan Yuhai is an ambitious person. Yang Chendong knew this very early. He gave him a chance. Sure enough, this person reached out and grabbed it. Su De was placed under house arrest. One holds the emperor to make princes.

But it’s just under house arrest, and there are still too many people who don’t understand, but Yang Chendong knows in his heart that things will be revealed one day, even he has arranged for Director Feng Liang to spread the news. It won’t take long before the civil strife is bound to occur. He wants to see how this famous general decides.

……

Under the city of Dalu, the war is still going on.

After surrendering a loss in the first battle, the Tatar army and the new mercenary army seem to have reached a certain understanding. The two sides are no longer at war, just confrontation.

Speaking of which, both sides have fears. The Tatar army was afraid of the muskets of the new army and did not dare to rush to charge; what the new army was concerned about was the number of cavalry on the other side, which was nearly 40,000. If true battle, the formidable power of the muskets would be limited. , Once the two sides fight together, it will be the ending of the two injuries, which is not what they want.

Because of these scruples, the two sides settled down, so the Northern Ming army who defended the city suffered. When the Tatar army directed all the spearhead and energy to the city of Dalu, Shi Wanshan everyday all with increased pressure is in dire straits.

Previously, the Tatar army only used infantry when attacking the city. These well-trained siege soldiers have already caused a headache for the Northern Ming army. But when the mercenaries just confronted the Tatar army and neither side had any intention to send troops, the Tatar cavalry also came in handy. They came to the city, and they kept releasing bows and arrows upstairs, killing and wounding not at all. Experienced Northern Ming recruits.

The city of Dalu, which was already in danger, is even more dangerous. The number of soldiers’ battle damage is constantly rising every day. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not last long.

It was another tiring day. Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng, all tired, returned to the City Lord Mansion Yamen, sitting in the courtyard while drinking tea while looking at each other speechlessly.

Guarding Court Eunuch, Deng Qiang has returned to the Xuan Mansion, and he also brought back the commander and Zhi Gu Feng. The good name is to bring the general back to recuperate. In fact, he is just trying to find excuses for avoiding responsibility. That’s it.

As long as he is not in the city, once the answer to the fall of Lucheng, this responsibility has nothing to do with him. When the time comes, with the warlord Furukawa in hand, the safety of the Xuanfu It can also be guaranteed.

“If you have a good wishful thinking, I said that you shouldn’t have to answer Lucheng at the beginning. The location of this city is very important. The city wall is not very tall. It is really asking for trouble.” Ning Wenfeng, who was overwhelmed with joy and anger, couldn’t help it anymore this time, suddenly patted the stone table in the courtyard and said.

In the past few days of hard work, even people with good tempers have been run in almost. How can Ning Wenfeng’s performance at this moment not be what Shi Wanshan thought? It’s just that he is more aware that there is no retreat in the current situation.

He once sent 800 Miles to the capital urgently, and asked some officials who had a good relationship with him in private. The answers were almost the same. The Imperial Court attaches great importance to this battle. Once they lose, the Imperial Edict, who is afraid that they are guilty, will immediately issue them. By then, they will be the sinners of Northern Ming.

Today, Shi Wanshan, who was even a bandit, of course didn’t want to lose everything. What he had to do was to try his best to save Dalucheng. Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shi Wanshan asked: “Wenfeng, you said, if we break a blood path, how about sending people to the mercenaries for help?”

“Please help?” Ning Wenfeng heard After listening, I raised my head and looked towards Shi Wanshan shook the head with a look of hope, “Commander, it was not me who attacked you. If you are a mercenary, would you intervene at this time?”

“Uh…this…” Shi Wanshan was speechless for a while. He knew that the proposal just now was a bit idiot, but now he really couldn’t find a better way. Behind him is the Xuan Mansion. There is also a lack of troops there. There may be power to defend the city, but there is absolutely no power to help. Regarding the Imperial Court, although he has issued several emergency documents, they are all like throw a stone and see it sink without trace in the sea. It can be seen that the Imperial Court will not send a large army to come over for the time being. , Except for the mercenaries in front of them, there seems to be no other way.

There is no other way. What I didn’t expect was that Ning Wenfeng rejected it so quickly.

Ning Wenfeng, who was sitting across from him, understood Shi Wanshan’s thoughts, but he couldn’t help but said: “Commander, this idea doesn’t have to go. The mercenaries now are afraid that we and Da Yao Jun hits both sides and suffers, how could he shoot at this time.”

“But… but once Lucheng changed hands, their supply channel would be broken, Duke of Zhongdan Will this be allowed to happen?” Shi Wanshan still wants to fight for reasons.

“What if the supply channel is broken? Isn’t there still the Nuer Gandusi area? This was originally the Duke of Zhongdan’s backup road. At least for this reason, it would have to match 40,000 Elite cavalry, this business is not worthwhile.” Ning Wenfeng shook the head.

With such an attitude and such a decisive answer, Shi Wanshan was speechless. Perhaps he also had this idea in his heart, otherwise, I am afraid that someone would have sent a letter to the mercenary long ago. It’s just that at the moment, other than this, he really can’t find a solution.

With a sigh, Shi Wanshan closed his mouth once again, only when he was drinking tea, would he open his mouth vigorously, a picture that looked like this teacup and this tea.

Silence.

The silence once again represents the suffering and helplessness in the hearts of the two generals. At this moment, a soldier walked in outside the door and knelt on the ground, “My lord, there is a man who claims to be the Duke of Zhongdan messenger outside the house to ask for a meeting.”

“Duke of Zhongdan messenger?” Suddenly heard the sound, the eyes of the two men, who were already decadent, were now shining, and Shi Wanshan suddenly opened the mouth and said after a breath: “Please, please.”

If not I was concerned about my identity. At this moment, Shi Wanshan is afraid that he will just stand up to welcome him. But even if he didn’t do that, the two words “please” could already represent his excitement at this time.

The personal soldiers retired, that is, just 5 minutes of work was not enough, but in Shi Wanshan’s view, it seems that a long time has passed, and finally a man in a cloth walked into the backyard. In, the companionship of the soldiers next to him has already proved his identity.

“This Commoner Yu Can has seen two generals.” The person under cup one fist in the other hand, bends his waist slightly, and stands up again. It’s not humble or overbearing. Look.

It is This Commoner, but how many This Commoner can behave so naturally when they meet the commander? From this perspective alone, this person is quite different from ordinary people.

“It turned out to be Mister Yu, please take a seat.” Ning Wenfeng said with a spring breeze smile on his face. Before clarifying the identity of the visitor, this kind of reception was naturally done by his small official. While speaking, he waved his hand to the soldier on the side to signal him to retreat.

Soon there are only three people left in the small courtyard. Yu Can’s gesture of low grade in Ning Wenfeng started the fragrant tea in front of him. After a light drink, he said, “Yes, good tea.” “

“Hehe, now the war is about to come, and I don’t know that my husband is coming, so I’m a little ill-prepared. But if you want to come to Duke of Zhongdan, there must be excellent tea.” Ning Wenfeng hehe smiled. Don’t forget to point the finger at the topic. Even at this time, he was still very suspicious of Yu Can’s identity.
