Nanming Engineer

Chapter 390
The leaders of the rebel army were a little confused, they lowered their heads to ask each other, but they didn't quite understand what "surrounding the spot to fight for aid" meant. Fortunately, Wang Huan explained the term in his next words.

"When you attack the enemy, you must rescue them. This is an important basis for encircling and aiding. The so-called encircling and aiding means that the besieged Tartars must be rescued, and it means setting up an ambush to attack their reinforcements." Wang Huan said eloquently, and said to the crowd: "Everyone, It is true that the soldiers of the Eastern Captives are ferocious. The elite soldiers who have been trained in the bitter cold outside the pass are beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers. In the Ming Dynasty, all the soldiers of the poor country and those who were able to fight gathered in Liaodong, and they could not stop their soldiers. Feng, it is evident."

He changed the topic and added: "But Donglu also has a weakness. If you grab its soft spots and beat it hard, no matter how strong the behemoth is, it will fall one day. And Donglu's weakness, do you know what it is?"

Everyone in the audience shook their heads, and some impatient people shouted loudly: "Master Hou, don't be fooled, please tell me quickly!"

Wang Huan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "The weakness of the Eastern Captives lies in its population! Outside the pass, there are white mountains and black waters, and the climate is harsh. It is a very livable place. Jiannu lives there all the year round. The population is not prosperous. These years of fighting Conquering east and west, they won a lot of Ming land, and the number of immigrants lived and increased, but there were only more than 30 people, of which there were only more than [-] in the Eight Banners, and the rest were Mongols and Han people who carried the flags. Most of them are Han Chinese, and more than half of the banner people are actually Han Chinese.”

His smile became slightly ferocious, and the corner of his mouth was raised like a scimitar: "Everyone, the Tatars' strongest fighting force is the Eight Banners soldiers. These soldiers are all Jianzhou Manchus, and they are the foundation of Nurhachi's career. The army and the people are united. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have a strong record. The Tatar generals are all from among them. If all the Eight Banners Jianzhou soldiers are slaughtered, then the remaining Mongolian and Han troops of the Tatars are not of concern, and the 4 Jiannu Dingkou, according to the regulations of establishing slaves integrating the army and the people, only has [-] soldiers. As long as these [-] people are killed, what can the Jianzhou Tatars be? Maybe the Mongols they raised will turn around and destroy them. Got it!"

"The purpose of encircling the spot is to use Taiyuan as a bait to attract the elite Jianzhou Tartars under the city of Datong to come over, set up an ambush on the road, and cut off the flesh with big knives! Cut off the soldiers of Jiannu one by one like cutting flesh! The mountains and forests and plains between Taiyuan and Datong have become a burial ground for slaves!"

Like a thunderstorm in summer, this sentence stunned everyone in the tent, including Li Dingguo and Li Tingyu, who stared at Wang Huan dumbfounded like a stranger they didn't know.

The sound of gasping continued to sound, as if everyone was in an ice cave, and their whole bodies were shivering.

After a long time, someone stammered and asked, with trembling voice, as if he was quite frightened: "Hou, Lord Hou, you, you mean, you want to kill all [-] Tartar soldiers in Shanxi?"

"It also depends on whether Jian Nucong is smart or not! If they foolishly refuel and send troops over one by one, let us eat them one by one, let alone [-], we can eat any more." Wang Huan laughed. Dao, the arc of the corner of the mouth became even higher: "But Dorgon and his like will not be so stupid, it is very likely that after we eat one or two shares, they will not be fooled."

The leaders of the rebel army looked at each other with surprised expressions, but they gradually recovered from the shock, and immediately asked, "Master Hou, although this plan is good, but the Tartars will reinforce Taiyuan, it will not be hundreds or hundreds of dollars." Come over, it must be tens of thousands, and there are more than 2 Han troops and more than 5000 Mongols under the false Shanxi governor Zhu Shichang in Taiyuan City. , how do we deal with ourselves?"

Everyone below nodded their heads, thinking that what this person said was reasonable, it was too idealistic to encircle and fight for aid, Taiyuan City was besieged, but could it really stop the Qing army rushing to help?The city of Datong is really full of the Eight Banners. At that time, don’t steal a lot of rice and take the Shanxi rebels into it.

Even the hard-core Yu Yin and Han Zhaoxuan remained silent. Although there was no doubt on the surface, they secretly felt that this method was a bit risky.

Wang Huan stood quietly behind the long case, his eyes scanning everyone's faces one by one, his eyes were so piercing that everyone was a little frightened.

He sat down slowly, holding the case with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you think that if the Great Unity is broken, everyone here will be safe? Tartars are cruel and hate those who betray the most. I can say for sure that even Tartars At first, I was worried that the law would not blame the public and would not wantonly strangle everyone, but it would be settled after the autumn. One year, two years, three years, five years, none of you can escape the fate of beheading and exterminating the clan. Look at Sanhe and Changping in Beizhili, and think again Think of Kunshan, Jiading, and Shanyin, where the local people rose up to resist after the hair-shaving order, and were finally massacred by the Qing army? You cut your braids, tantamount to tying your wealth and life to the opposite side of the Tartars. In this case If you don’t think about fighting to the death with Jian Nu, but you still think about how to deal with yourself, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?!”

Wang Huan's voice gradually became high-pitched, with an unquestionable seriousness in his tone, and the light in his pupils was like a burning flame: "This Marquis is a guest army, and he is not afraid of the power of the slave army. All Shanxi natives, the elders are behind you, and the responsibility is to protect you." With the important task of defending the family, how can you be afraid of the head and the tail, and dare not fight to the death?"

Everyone blushed, not daring to look at Wang Huan, they shifted their eyes and looked around.Han Zhaoxuan said hesitantly: "Master Hou, it's not that we have no determination. Everyone has already cut their braids and killed officials to rebel. This decision must not go away. It's just that the Jianzhou Tartars are too powerful, so we have to intercept and kill them while guarding against them." The Qing army in Taiyuan City is a little nervous."

Wang Huan smiled calmly and said: "There is no need to worry about this. I will leave it to me to deal with the matter of setting up an ambush to intercept it. All of you can gather together and trap Taiyuan City firmly. Don't worry about the rest."

"What?" This answer made Han Zhaoxuan and others even more worried. He suddenly raised his head and asked: "Master Marquis, can you stop the slave reinforcements just by relying on your people?"

Wang Huan squinted at him: "What? Are you worried?"

The sharp eyes made Han Zhaoxuan's heart suddenly jolt, and he immediately recalled in his mind the scene of the Kuizhou army attacking Pingyang Mansion described by Yu Yin. The pictures he made up from his words made him hurriedly wave his hands and said: " No, no, I'm just worried that the Marquis has insufficient military strength."

Wang Huan waved his hands lightly, and said with a half-smile: "Don't worry, if we can't hold back, if we can't eat, then I invite you to come."

Han Zhaoxuan was startled, turned his head and glanced at the leaders behind him, all they saw were glaring eyes at him, he quickly turned his head, and said awkwardly: "Where is it, Master Hou's elite soldiers must be enough. "

However, Wang Huan's face twitched, and he said with a sinister smile: "Naturally, I came from a long way to kill the enemy and restore the land. This plan was also proposed by me. To face the enemy head-on, I am duty-bound, but, I really have something to do, please help the leaders."

When everyone on the horseback heard this, as long as Wang Huan took over the stubble that blocked the Daizhou gap in Shanxi's inner Great Wall, the rest shouldn't be a big deal. Han Zhaoxuan almost hit everyone just now, but too much stupid.

So all the leaders stood up one after another, clasping their hands and expressing their opinions loudly: "Master Hou, you are welcome. Shanxi is my hometown, and Master Hou is here from afar. If there is anything wrong, it's okay to say."

Wang Huan smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "Please help me with some food and grass to help the military. Don't worry, I will record all these food and grass one by one. Whoever pays more and who pays less will care about it in the future."
