I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 261

In the second year of Chongzhen, after a continuous autumn rain, the eagle flew high, and the snow fell.

The first of October.

It's time to send cold clothes.

In the capital, there was joy, every household was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and all the shops stayed open all night, especially those restaurants, restaurants, brothels, and various food stalls and barbecue shops, which were open for three consecutive days and three nights.

The emperor was overjoyed.

Marrying [-] brides at a time is equivalent to the common people of the Ming Dynasty, suddenly there are [-] more "mothers".

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian issued a decree to amnesty the world.

As long as they were not the kind of criminals or those who colluded with foreign enemies, they all opened the prison door, distributed a few Daming gold coins and half a bag of dry food to each of them, and rushed back to their hometown.

As for those who cannot be pardoned, Zhu Youjian said lightly: "If you kill them, please."

So, kill them all.

Even the court’s felon, the second slave, Bel Amin, who was taken as a hostage, was brought up to Caishikou, and his head was beheaded with great fanfare.

Those civil servants Qingliu learned how to behave this time, and they didn't dare to "cry for blood" or "admonish at the risk of death" again, because Zhu Youjian made it very clear, who would dare to intercede for Erbeile Amin, Who is the traitor.

Zhu Youjian has never been soft on traitors.

No matter how big or small the crime is, it will be executed promptly...

……

"It's still not as good as the Qinhuai River in Jinling," the idiot emperor sighed with emotion as he rode an improved version of the steam locomotive with a loud rumbling noise and glanced at the bright lights on the surface of Zhonghai and Nanhai.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished his words, Zhang Yan, the emperor's wife who was sitting beside him, said back with a single sentence: "These are all His Majesty's concubines, not those who play and sing on the Qinhuai River!"

Sitting next to the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan, there are also the mother and daughter of Queen Zhou and Princess Anna.

These people looked at Zhu Youjian with a cold light, as if they were about to kill someone.

Zhu Youjian immediately felt a little guilty, laughed, and said, "Forgive me, sister-in-law, I made a mistake."

"Humph!"

Huang's sister-in-law Zhang Yan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Queen Zhou dared not speak.

But Princess Anna and Princess Catherine, the two foreign women, don't care about Zhu Youjian's face, twittering, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. "some type of.

Zhu Youjian pretended not to understand the 'foreign language', and calmly introduced the 'steam locomotive' to a few people:
"It's rare that Song Yingxing winks. I heard that there are many concubines that I want to marry, and the scale of [-] royal villas is so huge that it takes seventeen or eight miles to walk around;

Therefore, he and the disciples of the Ming Dynasty specially designed a special train, so that it will be convenient for me to pamper all my concubines at any time..."

Sister-in-law Zhang Yan: "Hmph!"

Empress Zhou: "Hmph!"

Princess Anna: "Scumbag!"

Princess Catherine: "Oh...yeah!"

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, with a triumphant expression on his face: "I came to Daming's first prodigal son, didn't he just marry ten thousand concubines? Mang Gurtai who was a slave, isn't that old thief very capable of fighting?
What, dare to compare with me?
If I dare to marry ten thousand concubines, will he dare?Tell me, does he dare?
Destroy his ass..."

As he was talking, Zhu Youjian was still a little bit aggrieved, stood up, pointed at the north and scolded: "Believe it or not, within a year, I can beat Jiannu and Beiman's bow-legs to the ground?

And the local emperors in the southwest and northwest, I teach them to be human! "

Empress Zhang Yan, Empress Zhou, Princess Anna, and Princess Catherine silently stared at His Majesty the Emperor without making a sound, which made Zhu Youjian a little dull.

Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi and other ministers of civil and military affairs were not there, so he scolded him for being lonely.

"Princess Anna, after I have pacified the Nine Sides, I will help you to avenge my hand and support your son as the emperor. Believe it or not, I can come and go among thousands of armies alone?"

Princess Anna: "I don't believe it."

Zhu Youjian sighed, and turned his head to threaten Princess Catherine: "Catherine, before September next year, I will build you a thirty-story castle on the banks of the Volga River, and make you the first princess to see the sunrise every day. Believe it or not?"

Catherine: "No!"

Zhu Youjian: "..."

Forget it, these two foreign women have been following the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan recently, and they are almost out of school...

……

The idiot emperor sat down in a dispirited manner, took a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said in a hateful voice: "I will favor a hundred concubines tonight!"

"My general Qin killed three thousand Jiannu pigtails at night, congratulations from afar!"

He added.

The idiot's words of the emperor did not attract the attention of the emperor's wife, the empress and the two foreign women. What they cared about was the emperor's body after all.

"Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon body..."

Queen Zhou said softly.

In the soft and clear voice, mixed with a hint of sour rice wine, it sounds very, very resentful.

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, jumped off the running steam locomotive, and walked straight to a 'royal garden'...

……

To the north of Liaodong, through twelve rivers, 75 snow-covered mountains.

At the foot of the ancient and mysterious Luding Mountain.

Black Dragon Gorge.

The snow is covered, the mountains and forests are silent, and occasionally a few small animals such as roe deer, roe deer, squirrels, ferrets, etc., leap over the bushes, and dozens of snowflakes are startled, shining in the bright and clean sunlight, which is really beautiful.

There are also some skylarks, snow chickens, etc., singing in a low voice in the deep mountains and dense forests in the distance.

Winter here comes nearly a month earlier than on the grasslands eight hundred miles away.

In Jierhalang's central army tent, a large pot of firewood was burning vigorously.

The flickering firelight illuminated He Shuobeile, who was under 30 years old, looking a little tired. On his purple-red face, a thick wild goatee beard hung straight down, adding a special power.

He is not Nurhachi's biological son.

However, he has a close relationship with the "princes" such as Huang Taiji and Azig. Now that Mang Gurtai claims to be emperor, his situation is more or less embarrassing.

This time, the person who rushed to the front line of Luding Mountain for a long distance was not him, He Shuo Belle, but another confidant of Emperor Mangurtai, Lord Baylor.

For this reason, he knelt at the gate of the Shengjing Imperial Palace for five or six hours, and finally fought for a chance to lead troops to fight.

He used to be smug, thinking that a mere Cao Wenzhao was nothing to worry about.

His [-] iron cavalry should have rolled over like thunder, trampling those Ming Han people into pieces of rotten flesh, and being forced into this piece of black land belonging to Jiannu by the powerful hooves of their horses...

……

At this moment, he and his [-] cavalry have been shrinking their heads for seven or eight days in this cold and cramped Black Dragon Gorge.

More than 1000 scouts and scouts were dispatched.

The news sent back made him feel more and more heavy, and his face became more and more ugly.

everything is normal.

calm as one.

Is this the news from snooping?
Could it be that those Han people didn't find this cavalry?
No, absolutely impossible.

Judging from his many years of battlefield experience, although the Ming army was not good at field combat, once they got out of the tall and thick city walls, it would be difficult to confront Jiannu cavalry head-on.

However, in terms of information and intelligence, the Ming army is extremely good at it.

"Twelve brothers, look..."

Finally, Jierha asked in a harsh voice.

"Don't worry, let's make a decision before moving. Cao Wenzhao's step-by-step tactics are not indestructible. As long as we find their weaknesses, [-] cavalry will have a [-]-[-] chance of winning against the Ming army with [-] cavalry. "

Azigbeile appeared fierce on the surface, but in fact he was extremely calm. He was especially familiar with the military tactics of the Han people, and he was a rare general in the Jiannu clan.

Therefore, Jierhalang Baylor still trusts his words very much.

"Twelfth brother, there is a flying report from Shengjing, let us dispatch troops as soon as possible to crush Cao Wenzhao..."

"Don't worry about this, the Han people have a good saying, the general is outside, and the emperor's orders are not accepted. The emperor's uncle is more than 2000 miles away, and the situation in this place is definitely not clear. It is just a little anxious to urge you to send troops.

Heshuo Baylor, I have a general idea, I don't know if I should talk about it or not? "

Azigbeile is not the chief general, so he can only make suggestions, but cannot direct orders.

"What do you want to say, Brother Twelfth? I, Jierhalang, am not the kind of idiot who can't listen to good advice." Jierhalang said with a smile: "Among us banner people, there are many idiots who think that a word A team of [-] people can conquer the world, what a pig!
At the beginning, if Dabeile Daishan, Erbeile Amin and others were not self-willed, how could Huang Taiji fall into the mouth of Xifeng..."

Azigbeile nodded and said, "Don't mention that sad thing."

"This time, the Cao Wenzhao we faced was originally just a guerrilla general in Shanhaiguan. He didn't have much military exploits and had never shown his edge on the battlefield;

We are not familiar with his tactics.

This is one of them.

Second, I have personally visited the places where the Han people reclaimed wasteland and stored grain. Those Han farmers were indeed real farmers, and they were not pretended by the Ming army, so there is nothing to worry about;

Third, the city walls of the Han people are very strong. I have personally tested them. They are poured with a new material that has never been heard before. Stones and iron bars are mixed inside. Ordinary artillery can't blast the city walls;

Therefore, we can only concentrate our artillery fire and attack their city gates.

In this way, our warriors and sons are bound to be forced to gather together and become the targets of the new firearms of the Ming army. "

Azigbeile took a sip of wine before continuing to analyze and said: "We can avoid these advantages of the Ming army, as long as we don't face the Ming army head-on.

As for the others, let's not talk about it.

Today, what I want to say is that even if we are at a disadvantage, it doesn't matter. After my detailed investigation, I found that Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses have a fatal disadvantage.

That is, they are full of battles and calculations, and they are only [-] soldiers and horses.

Moreover, most of the soldiers are over 50 or [-] years old. It can be said that they are just a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are simply incomparable with our iron-blooded men.

Therefore, in terms of field battles, we can completely suppress the Ming army and fight to the death..."

Hearing this, Jierhalang Baylor silently nodded in agreement.

These factors, which he has analyzed in detail, are nothing.

He looked sideways at Azigbeile, hesitating to speak.

Azigbeile smiled lightly, and then analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each other: "The Ming army has less than 2 troops, and they are currently mainly concentrated in Kuwu Island and No. 1 city of Shit Youjian. If you want to fight in the field, you must use their railways to transport .

Therefore, our next plan, first and foremost, is to find a way to destroy their railways.

Let their bullshit steam engine train become a pile of scrap iron!
Secondly, Lord Heshuobeile didn't know if he noticed that the Ming army built a small castle every fifty miles or so. Although the walls of these castles were strong, there were not many defenders inside.

According to my younger brother's observations, and friends from the Savage Tribe, most of the people living in those small castles are land reclamation farmers, and there are less than a hundred soldiers in each castle. "

"The number of soldiers in each castle is less than a hundred?"

Finally, Jierhalangbeile became interested, and there seemed to be a cold light in his eyes: "Even if there are a hundred guards, in front of our ten thousand soldiers, they are nothing more than a few ants, just a few horseshoes stepping on them." , It is estimated that it will become a lump of mud!
This news is really important! "

Ji'erhalangbeile was in a good mood, and poured a bowl of wine for the twelfth brother Azigbeile with his own hands, and fished out a large piece of venison from the copper tripod, and said with a smile: "Twelve brothers, come, come, drink Eat meat!"

Azigbeile said with a smile: "How, isn't this the analysis of Mingzhu's Achilles' heel?"

Jierhalangbeile laughed out loud.

"However, this is only one aspect. According to my younger brother's observation, the Ming army has another fatal weakness, that is, their troop deployment is too dependent on railway transportation. If we can remove their railroad tracks, what will happen?"

Azigbeile chuckled lightly.

"What else? Once there is no railway transportation, dozens of castles guarded by less than a hundred people will be nothing more than pieces of venison scattered on the ground under the fierce attack of a team of ten thousand people!" Jierhalang Baylor laughed wildly , continued:
"The Ming army relies on the firearms in their hands, and at the same time relies more on the city walls and bunkers they built. On the surface, it is very unfavorable to our cavalry.

Don't you know that since the first Emperor Khan Nurhaci, we have already mastered a lot of siege tactics, but it's just that our Jurchen population is too small, we don't have enough warriors, and we don't want to easily expand our territory.

The emperors and civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty thought that our cavalry could not deal with their guns and city walls. They were really stupid enough, hahaha! "

Azigbeile was so passionate that he couldn't help but also burst out laughing.

Speaking of which, Jiannu Iron Cavalry really mastered a lot of siege warfare techniques, a large part of which came from the Chahar Grassland, Horqin Grassland and Waikalka Grassland.

Three or four hundred years ago, the grassland people's siege warfare technology was already mature. There was a glorious battle record of a team of ten thousand people destroying dozens of countries within ten years.

You know, in the past on the European continent, the nobles relied most on various fortified castles...

……

"Twelfth brother, how about this, my brother will assign you 1 troops to destroy Cao Wenzhao's railway, and at the same time, try to find a way to suppress him in Youjian No. [-] City and Kuwu Island.

Ben Baylor personally led the main force of [-] troops, step by step, and broke through the castles they built one by one, how about it? "

Jierhalang Baylor let out a long laugh and said.

Azigbeile: "Okay, step by step!"

"To paraphrase an old Chinese proverb: use the way of others, and treat the body of the person!"
