Seventy-eight bitter Nurhaci
This person is indeed not simple!
Yuan Huang praised secretly. To be honest, he himself had a little doubt about the information and all the situations provided by the North Koreans, but considering that this is a life-and-death battle, the North Koreans dare not hide it, so they have not studied it in depth. However, when they think about it carefully, there are many suspicious points, so Yuan Huang has been uneasy and is also worried while planning the marching route of the army.
Now the general has thought of this and decided to catch this matter in person, which is enough to see that this person is well versed in military tactics and the way to win. He is quite rigorous and gentle, not as ostentatious as a young man, nor is he an ordinary martial artist. He has ink in his stomach and should be able to match it. Thinking of this, Yuan Huang decided to extend an olive branch.
"Since that's the case, if Xiao Pinggu does not abandon it, I am willing to follow Xiao Pinggu and not hide it from Xiao Pinggu. I will understand the matters such as the logistics supply and food and grass settlement."
Yuan Huang recommended himself with confidence.
With the help of this top scholar, Xiao Ruxun was naturally happy and said, "That's the best. Please ask Mr. Yuan to bring more people who are good at arithmetic, as well as Deputy General Wu and General Luo Shen, please select 300 elite soldiers. The general will take them across the river. Then, Deputy General Wu, you must prepare more vehicles, horses, cows, and donkeys here. Anything that can be used to transport supplies will be better. General Luo Shen, collect more ships for the army to cross the river."
Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi clasped their fists together: "I will obey the order!"
Just as she was about to enter the city, Xiao Ruxun found that Wu Weizhong seemed to have something to say, so she asked strangely: "Deputy General Wu? It seems that you have something to say?"
"General, the last general... the last general does have something to report."
Xiao Ruxun frowned: "Say."
“…This…General, actually…”
Wu Weizhong stammered, as if he had something to say. Xiao Ruxun was about to ask questions, Yuan Huang spoke: "Xiao Pinglu, this is the case. The group of Liaodong cavalry stationed with Vice General Wu and others before learned that the emperor ordered them to be recalled. He was crazy and had many disrespectful words. Before leaving, he also plundered a group of soldiers under Vice General Wu's command and took them away. He acted arrogantly. Vice General Wu did not fight with them in the overall situation, but those Liaodong soldiers were really arrogant."
It’s the Liaodong Army again!
"Hmph! I had heard the people of Liaodong complaining about the arrogant Liaodong soldiers all the way! Even if such an army can be fought, it is definitely not a qualified army! Vice General Wu happened to go to the warehouse with me to take back the stolen rations and military salaries. After defeating the Japanese invaders, we will settle the accounts with those people!"
Wu Weizhong Luo Shangzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General!"
Xiao Ruxun took this group of people to the army's granary storage warehouse to check the current grain storage situation, carefully checked the grain storage account book, then carefully checked the situation of this batch of grain to see if there were any mold or other situations. Then he went to the arms warehouse to focus on the quality of the batch of about two or three thousand bird guns that have arrived.
When the person was in the test firing, he found that with the emperor's high pressure, the quality of the bird guns had greatly improved. Ninety-eight of the 100 pieces were good products, and the remaining two were slightly flawed, but it was not as good as the blow-off. It seemed that the quality of the bird guns was not enough, but someone made a hindrance from it to the best, resulting in the majority of waste products. Now that there is a system of accountability, the Shangshu directly held accountable, and no one dared to do it in any aspect.
This is the case now, and then make a decision later.
Finally, Xiao Ruxun came to the place where the artillery was managed.
Xiao Ruxun knew that the Japanese invaders at this time were good at using iron cannons, and they were also a three-stage attack method, with sharp shooting, while Xiao Ruxun was even better at bird gun tactics, and planned to meet the so-called elite soldiers of the Warring States Period for a while.
When Song Yingchang learned that the Japanese were good at using "iron cannons" to fight, he decided to use artillery to teach the Japanese a lesson. He collected more than 300 artillery pieces of various types, including twenty of the general cannons, such as 20 thousand pounds of heavy cannons. It was really terrible. Although such cannons were powerful, they were too inconvenient to move. With the steep terrain of North Korea, it was very unfavorable. There were only more than 40 cannons like Ye Gong Shen Gun, and more than 180 franc guns had not yet carried a car.
Xiao Ruxun immediately sat down, found paper and pen to draw a drawing of the Fran motorcycle cannon improved by Ningxia craftsmen, and then called Wu Weizhong.
"Deputy General Wu, this is the Franco motorcycle cannon transformed by Ningxia craftsmen when I was in Ningxia. North Korea has many mountains and rivers and few flat grounds. It is rainy season and the ground is muddy. It is afraid that heavy artillery such as the General's cannon is difficult to operate, so these heavy artillery are not cared for now. Now, medium artillery such as the Franco gun is transformed into a car cannon. It is at least one month before the war begins. I want you to drive out at least 200 car cannons within a month. Can you do it?"
Xiao Ruxun handed the drawing to Wu Weizhong.
Wu Weizhong took the drawing and looked at it, with a look of thought on his face, and then nodded affirmatively: "This will be done for the general within 20 days!"
"Okay!" Xiao Ruxun smiled and said, "Deputy General Wu has accomplished this matter, and I will remember you for the reward of 500 silver!"
Wu Weizhong, Luo Shangzhi and the other two looked happy and thanked each other repeatedly. They asked Xiao Ruxun to cross the river to North Korea after dinner. Xiao Ruxun touched his stomach, looked at the sky, nodded. After the military camp used up supper, he took a batch of military Chinese documents and 300 Zhejiang soldiers to cross the river with Yuan Huang while it was not dark.
Xiao Ruxun was calculating the future battle situation and planning everything for the future. To the east of the Ming army base of Zhenjiang Fort, the Jianzhou Guardian Jurchen headquarters, Nurhaci was facing Li Rusong's endless talk.
To be honest, Nurhaci did not have the disobedience to the Ming Dynasty at this time, and in fact he did not dare to have it. Although his grandfather and father died at the hands of the Ming army, he was raised in Li Chengliang's family since childhood. He was very respectful and afraid of Li Chengliang and did not dare to have hatred. Therefore, Li Chengliang secretly supported him to unify the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe as compensation for the man-killing of his grandfather and father, and also to reduce his own troubles.
In Li Chengliang's view, Nurhaci was a loyal dog under his command. This loyal dog could help him deal with the brave and fierce Haixi Jurchens, use Jurchens to control Jurchens, and make himself easier to deal with the Mongols. This strategy of using barbarians to control barbarians is not wrong. The mistake is that Li Chengliang did not see Nurhaci's own talent clearly, nor did he notice that a person's personality will change with his status.
Nurhaci, who had eliminated the Haixi Jurchens, was no longer the "slave" that Li Chengliang knew. In addition, Li Rusong died early, many of the Li family's sons died, and Li Chengliang had no successors and was old. Nurhaci's fear of the Ming Dynasty was greatly reduced. Li Chengliang still had concerns when he was alive. Once Li Chengliang died, Nurhaci immediately took action!
Xiao Ruxun believed that Li Chengliang's vitality must have discovered Nurhaci's changes in the last few years, and must have realized that he was not actually using barbarians to control barbarians, but raising tigers as a disaster. Nurhaci's ability and ambitions far exceeded Li Chengliang's psychological expectations. Li Chengliang could even foresee what Nurhaci would do after his death!
But he was too old and he was powerless, so he ignored it, regardless of the flood behind him. He gave up his final efforts and began to make money to protect the wealth of his descendants. He gave up his efforts to limit Nurhaci, and even destroyed the Great Wall by himself. He might even reach a secret agreement with Nurhaci. He ignored Nurhaci's behavior, and after his death, Nurhaci swept across Liaodong, he should treat the descendants of the Li family well.
Nurhaci did this, but Li Chengliang probably didn't expect that his slaves would harm the entire Han family and would be invincible.
But at least at this time, Nurhaci was afraid of Li Chengliang, Li Rusong, Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and the entire Ming Dynasty. He did not dare to be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty at all. Moreover, Nurhaci also knew that he was committing his own death and could not tolerate others to take advantage of the situation.
