Chapter 11 Guerrilla War? (2)
Chapter 11 Guerrilla War? (II)
A flagpole about ten feet high stood outside Huang Taiji's golden tent. The fierce cold wind blew the golden dragon flag in the wind and snow. Water dripped outside the tent into ice, large flakes of snow fell, breathing into fog, but inside the tent was as warm as spring.
The princes and princes from all Mongolian tribes who came to discuss the withdrawal of the army had long dispersed, and only Huang Taiji himself was left in the tent, as well as several confidant officials left by Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng was listed.
On the table table randomly placed in the tent, after the princes and princes of Mongolia left, there were still all the horse breasts left in the cups. Fan Wencheng frowned slightly. The Mongolians themselves had a moderate taste. With this horse breast, which had a strong smell, he was a Han man, no matter how he did, he would not change his living habits, especially the horse breasts that were the most unacceptable to drinking, so the cup in front of him had the remaining warmth that had not moved at all.
"Ben Khan got the news from the inside that a sea ship loaded with this weapon and armor started anchoring from Dengzhou, and its destination was North Korea." Huang Taiji slowly revealed the information he had just received.
In the golden tent, several confidant officials were silent all the time, and no one wanted to be the first to take Huang Taiji's words.
"Mr. Fan, what do you think?" Huang Taiji's eyes looked at him were much more friendly than his younger brothers. What's more important is that he could get what he wanted from Fan Wencheng's mouth.
Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly and looked up and said, "The Ming court's intention is very obvious, that is, to use North Korea to restrain our eastern front, so that our backyard may catch fire at any time, and to force the Khan to conquer the Mongolian tribes slow down!"
"According to Mr. Fan's meaning, how can I resolve this?" Huang Taiji asked impatiently.
"North Korea and our Dajin are brotherly countries, and North Korea is also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court provided them with weapons and armor, and even sent troops to North Korea, so our Dajin had no right to interfere."
"Mr. Fan, you're probably wrong. North Korea is a vassal state of my Dajin. How could it be the vassal state of Mingdo?" Dai Shan slapped a few times, interrupted Fan Wencheng's words, and stood up and pointed at Fan Wencheng's nose and refuted loudly. If Huang Taiji hadn't been present, he would have changed "Mingdog" to "Han Dog".
"Have Big Baylor forgotten the last article of the Jinzhou Treaty?" Fan Wencheng asked slowly and calmly with an aggressive look at Dai Shan.
"What is the purpose of Ben Belle's record of such a treaty that is powerless and humiliating?" Daishan said disdainfully.
Huang Taiji's face turned pale and shouted, "Daishan, you're drunk too much! Come on, carry Da Beile down to rest!"
Several personal soldiers rushed in and spoke nonsense and shouted "I'm not drunk" and carried out the Big Belledan.
How could Dai Shan get drunk? He pretended to be drunk and expressed his dissatisfaction with Huang Taiji. As soon as he arrived outside the golden tent, Dai Shan broke free from the arms of the four personal soldiers, slap at Huang Taiji's golden tent, and whispered, "Coward, Huang Taiji, you are not worthy of being the descendant of I Aisin Gioro, and you are even more worthy of being the great sweat of my Jurchen!" Then he rubbed his hands, looked back and took a few glances, and then left angrily.
After leaving a big Bellard Daishan, no one in the golden tent dared to interrupt Fan Wencheng.
"Mr. Fan, continue talking." Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan being taken out and his face turned a little better.
"The last article of the Jinzhou Treaty means that Korea and our Dajin are both vassal states of the Ming Dynasty and must pay tribute. Originally, Korea was devoted to the Ming Dynasty, and the current king of North Korea was also personally enthroned by the Ming court. For more than two hundred years, North Korea has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and our Dajin Yingming Khan also accepted the ban on the Ming Dynasty. In name, our Dajin is naturally also a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Ming Dynasty became the nominal state of our Dajin, let alone the Ming Dynasty's sect leader, not to mention North Korea, which has always been the leader of the Ming court. Therefore, even if the suzerain state is stationed in the vassal state, it is in accordance with etiquette, let alone transporting weapons and armor to help them train their army."
"According to Mr. Fan, what do you think, isn't Ben Khan helpless with those Korean sticks?" Huang Taiji said in confusion.
"Although my Dajin and North Korea both regarded themselves as vassals of the Ming Dynasty, my Dajin and North Korea were brothers, my Dajin was brothers, and North Korea was brothers, so as my brother, he naturally had the responsibility to discipline his brothers. Therefore, in terms of justice, my Dajin garrison in Korea was also in accordance with etiquette and law." Fan Wencheng explained with a smile.
Huang Taiji was confused when he heard this. This was the "brother" and the "brother" again, and it was a mess, but he understood one thing. Fan Wencheng was making excuses for him to send troops to North Korea again, and it was a very reasonable excuse.
"Khan, since we cannot take care of each other from the beginning and end, we should simply include North Korea in my territory of Dajin!" Fan Wencheng scared Huang Taiji very much. Huang Taiji just wanted to teach Goryeo a lesson so that they could be more at peace and obedient in the future, but he did not expect that his chief adviser would actually have the idea of annexing North Korea.
The matter is very important. North Korea is different from Mongolia. There are still many blood ties between the Jurchens and Mongolia. However, North Korea is an independent nation. It is not difficult to conquer the entire North Korea, but it is definitely not easy to incorporate it into its own ruling territory. Huang Taiji really dared not make such a decision. Even Amin and other belles in the golden tent and Fan Wencheng, several Han officials beside him stared at Fan Wencheng in a daze, unable to speak.
"Khan, in the future, I, the Jurchens, the Mongols and Han people, but also more ethnic groups kneel down at the feet of the Khan. Among the ethnic groups, the Han people are the most difficult to conquer. Therefore, to conquer the Han people, we must first conquer the Koreans who admire the Han people the most!" Fan Wencheng's call completely aroused Huang Taiji's ambitions. Even the Jin generals such as Amin were excited by Fan Wencheng's words, and the golden tent was immediately filled with the aura of killing.
"Okay, Mr. Fan said, to conquer the Han people, you must first conquer the Koreans who admire the Han people the most! Hahaha!" Huang Taiji stood up and laughed to the sky.
"My minister Fan Wencheng is willing to assist the Khan to become a famous Khan in the world, God Khan!" Fan Wencheng stood up and walked to the middle of the golden tent, and was the first to kneel down for Huang Taiji and said!
"I am willing to follow the Khan to become the most famous Khan in the world, God Khan!" Whether the civil servants or military generals in the tent stood up, knelt at Huang Taiji's feet, and said loudly in unison.
"Okay, okay, all my dear friends should be calm, hahaha!" Huang Taiji was so happy that he gave Fan Wencheng a look of mutual affection. Fan Wencheng drew a huge cake to the ministers of Belle, which not only aroused the blood of their hearts that was eager to make achievements, but also temporarily suppressed the internal conflicts that were about to break out, and at the same time laid the tone of expedition to Korea in the east. If North Korea was included in the territory, no one could shake his position with such achievements.
The Later Jin Dynasty was not a single piece. Huang Taiji's Khan's position was inappropriate. Although Dorgon, the heir of the Khan throne, was highly regarded, he was highly warned by Huang Taiji. Especially after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he was defeated twice in the hands of the Ming army. His personal prestige had dropped to the lowest point. If it weren't for Zhu Beile's oath, it would be hard to say whether his Khan's position could be firmly settled. Fortunately, he had advisers like Fan Wencheng, and had large-scale reforms, using the Han people's method of governing the country, implementing the three provinces and six ministries system, and adopting the method of differentiation and wining, maintaining a fragile balance. Huang Taiji urgently needed a war victory to establish his personal prestige and shock those with dissent. Unfortunately, Lin Danhan was abnormal.
, to mobilize troops to fight against it, the Mongolian cavalry against the Eight Banners Cavalry, Huang Taiji tried all the ways he could think of. Lin Danhan just didn't fall for it, and fought steadily and advanced step by step, and made up for the counter-trend that was not as strategic as Huang Taiji in terms of strategy. The two sides fought three times a day, in the morning, noon and evening, and there were countless other small-scale battles, and the wars triggered were common. In the past two months of confrontation, the number of deaths on both sides has risen sharply, and there has been no decisive victory. If we continue to fight like this, Huang Taiji received a lot of internal pressure. I have to thank the heavy snow these days. If God hadn't helped, Huang Taiji wouldn't know how to end this war?
Maintaining this unbeaten situation, coupled with the previous victories, several Mongolian tribes surrendered to them. In fact, Huang Taiji won the battle, but there were too few Jurchens and could not withstand the consumption. Otherwise, if this battle continues, victory will be inevitable.
Huang Taiji retreated, and he retreated neatly. Overnight, more than 100,000 troops seemed to have never been stationed here. Lin Danhan was afraid that Huang Taiji would be tricky and dared not send troops to chase him too far. Then he also pulled out his camp to retreat. Both sides seemed to be fine, and went back to their own nests to cultivate and recuperate.
Compared with the Mongolian grasslands becoming increasingly calm, while the Zuo Liangyu army in western Hunan was in dire straits. Wu Heimiao knew that the decisive battle was not the opponent of the officers and soldiers. He made full use of the characteristics of the Miao people's familiar terrain and adopted the fighting method of the enemy coming and going, the enemy going and going; the enemy advances and hides, and the enemy retreats and we retreat; the enemy is strong and retreats, and the enemy is weak and attacks. Cao Hu led people to fight several times, and they all came back in a mess. There were several times if his subordinates had not tried to save them to death, Cao Hu would not have escaped the Miao people.
The strange poisonous arrows, the Miao people had few weapons, the earth-made wooden guns, and the most wooden thorns were painted with their homemade poisons. They were extremely poisonous, and the military doctors in the army were helpless. Even the Han doctors familiar with the Miao people who were invited to Yuanling City were helpless and could only save a very small number of people. Because there were too many poisons in the Miao people, some of them were mixed with several poisons, and they could only watch the brothers who were infected with the poisonous arrows closed their unwilling eyes in the howling of pain.
Zheng Nansheng was also in a state of great trouble. The harassing style of the Miao people was too troublesome. Small groups of reconnaissance scouts dared not send them out. With too many people, they could not achieve the concealment of scouts and reconnaissance. The army had no idea about the movements of the Miao people. It was simply passively beaten and had to be guarded against the sporadic night attacks of the Miao people. The army was exhausted by tossing and exhausted. After only two days, the morale was sluggish and the hearts of the people were fluctuating.
When talking about Miao in the army, Zuo Liangyu didn't seem to be pretending to have a stroke. Several doctors invited to the city of Yuanzhou diagnosed it and confirmed that it was a poison called "Cicada" of the Miao people. This poison is very rare and cannot be made by ordinary Miao people. At least the "Miao witch" among the Miao people has the ability to create this poison. Moreover, the ones made differently and rarely used. Several doctors have only heard of this magic poison. They thought it was just a rumor among the Miao people. They didn't expect that there was such a poison. It was the first time they saw it with their own eyes.
