At dusk on December 26th, the fifth year, the victorious Ming army basically completed the cleanup of the battlefield. A total of more than one thousand and five hundred sets of swords, guns and halberds were seized. There were also more than two thousand pieces of equipment. General Guan Ning did not seem to be too big. Interested and embarrassed to be separated from Huangshi, they all belonged to the Dongjiang Army. Forget about those swords, guns, swords and halberds, but armor is really a good thing. It is a weapon of the military. In theory, frontier soldiers can only be given per head. Even in the warehouse center of Juehua, there is no reserve of armor. After nightfall, in Huangshi's camp, the staff officers of Changsheng Island tested weapons, including various types of firearms from Guan Ning's army. Juehua Guan Ning's army had some bird guns in stock that were not of use in Huangshi, so he asked his men to take a look at these firearms. What is the quality of the gun? The Ming army's muskets were imitations of Japanese matchlock guns. They were not very heavy and did not require brackets. If they could be used, Huangshi planned to transport them back to the auxiliary troops for use. Based on the experience of the last test of Lushun bird guns, the staff officer of Changsheng Island tried his best to escape after igniting the bird guns. The three bird guns tested in succession lived up to expectations and exploded. As a senior firearms expert on Changsheng Island, Duncan carefully inspected the bird muskets and reported to Huangshi that these bird muskets were even more jerry-rigged than the last time they encountered them. The inner diameter was only rotated and bored once, not twice at most, so it must be greatly reduced. The amount of charge is sufficient, otherwise it will explode at one point. "Scrap products are completely useless. All the officials of the Ministry of Industry of Ming Dynasty should be hanged." When they heard Duncan use the three words "I Ming Dynasty", no one around them had any special reaction because it was not uncommon for Duncan to use this title. thing. Huang Shi also brought back some three-eyed blunderbuss. This equipment was the favorite weapon of the Ming army. General Yao Shen generously offered Huang Shi five hundred of them. The three-eyed gun has a thick outer wall. The possibility of the barrel exploding is relatively small, but the iron it uses is directly cast from pig iron smelted from coal, so the quality is worse than the wrought iron barrels currently used on Changsheng Island. For the sake of safety, Duncan thought it was best not to charge according to the quota. Moreover, the barrel of this thing is short. The power is pitifully small. "When using a safe charge, the lethality is similar to that of a bow and arrow, but far from being comparable to a crossbow. It has the ability to cause slight damage to cotton armor at a distance of 40 meters, but has no ability to damage iron armor at a distance of 20 meters. Its use It's better to equip the auxiliary soldiers with hoes and daggers that can at least be used for work. "Duncan's opinion represents the views of most test officers. This made Huang Shi give up the idea of ??taking some three-eyed cymbals for nothing. Huang Shi had this money. I plan to build a new charcoal-fired hydraulic furnace on Changsheng Island to smelt wrought iron and then forge the charcoal-fired wrought iron to make gun barrels. Since this three-eyed gun is rated so low, it's better to politely decline Yao Shenjiang's kindness. At the same time, in Jin Guan¡¯s camp, General Yao Shen was watching General Jin Shen direct a few of his confidants to play with a secret weapon Peng! Today Jin Guan asked Huang Shi for a Changsheng Island fire gun as a souvenir. Now he was showing this weapon to his old brother Yao Yuxian. General Yao walked towards the shield car ten steps away with a sullen face. This kind of equipment is suitable for Houjin. Changsheng Island's fire cymbals have always been pierced with two holes. There are several bows and arrows on the same vehicle. Most of the heads are shallowly pierced into the shield, indicating that they can be pulled off with a strong force. The crossbow arrows specially dragged here for the experiment only shot into one head and were far from penetrating. This kind of city-defending crossbow machine was used by Zhang Pan during the Lushun Defense War. Hou Jin's shield car was almost designed to defend against this kind of crossbow machine of the Ming Army. Yao Yuxian stroked the muscles on his face as he stroked the big holes in the shield car. He couldn't believe the terrible damage caused by the violently shaking firecracker in front of him. After a long time, General Yao Shen raised his head and looked at General Jin Shen. They both nodded in unison, with expressions of enlightenment on their faces. ¡¡ In the early morning of December 27, the fifth year of Tianqi¡¯s reign, a tent was set up in Shenyang on the official road facing the city gate. The tent was lifted up and you could see a thick blanket spread at the door. Kong Youde lay lazily on the blanket, supporting his head with one hand and half on the blanket. The other arm waved feebly: "Keep scolding me." Around the tent, a group of Dongjiang refugees were sitting or lying on the ground under the city. Weapons and flags were thrown to the ground in large pieces. Their horses also took off their reins and saddles, allowing them to dig grass roots under the frozen soil on the roadside. The Dongjiang refugee armed forces planted many wooden sticks on the ground and stuck banners and slogans made of white paper on them to show them to the defenders in the city. These slogans and banners were filled with pigs, dogs, rats, frogs and grasshoppers. The soldiers of the Ming Army pointed at the objects on them with sticks and kept explaining loudly to the Shenyang defenders. They insisted that these objects were from Jilharang. Starting yesterday, Kong Youde also asked a few sergeants to sing a big show under the city gate and ridiculed Jierhalang to the point of being completely scratched. This morning, Kong Youde also found a few women from the women's camp and asked them to hold weapons made of paper and call out to Jierhalang under the city. These women put on colorful skirts and cotton wool and showed off in a pretentious manner under the city. After some styling, they started toHe indicated that he would challenge Jierhalang in a duel and ask him if he dared to come out to fight. The Ming soldiers who were watching all took off their armors and started cheering for the women who were calling the formation. Historically, during Nurhachi's expedition to western Liaoning, the two blue banners of Liaodong and the Mongolian right wing faced the Dongjiang refugee armed forces from the entire army. The fierce general Mang Gurtai also cowered in Shenyang City and did not dare to test his front lightly. This time Zhenglan Banner was no longer with Xianglan Banner and the Mongolian right wing was even more weak, so no matter how much Kong Youde yelled at Jierhalang below the city, he would never step out of the city gate. On the top of the mountain next to Shenyang City, Pingluo General Mao Wenlong quietly watched the performance in front of the city gate. The Xianglan Banner used part of its troops to defend Shenyang and could not leave. The rest gathered in Liaoyang with the Mongolian right wing. After Amin completed his military buildup, brother Geng Zhongming, who was covering the left wing of the Dongjiang Army, suddenly felt the pressure doubled. He had no choice but to retreat to the headquarters for protection. Now Amin's army of more than 10,000 troops has left Liaoyang and advanced northward to Hupi Fort, where they camped and responded to the Shenyang defenders from a distance. This field force existing behind the Dongjiang Army posed a great threat to Mao Wenlong. Under their influence, the small group of Dongjiang refugees did not dare to stray too far from the large army. This further affects the efficiency of Mao Wenlong's land threshing. After entering the Liaozhong Plain, the material capital collected by the Dongjiang Army has always been far greater than the consumption. However, starting yesterday, the grain officer of the Dongjiang Headquarters reported that the income has begun to decrease seriously. Judging from the professional perspective of Pingliao General Mao Wenlong over the years, within a few days, income will drop sharply to cover expenses. Then the net loss period will come. If you start walking home at that time, the grass and grain you managed to get by the time you walk home will be eaten to pieces again. The direction from Shenyang to Liaoyang is filled with pillars of blue smoke during the day and balls of fire at night. The Houjin army in western Liaoning should have also received the news. If the Dongjiang refugees leave late, Amin will not mind making some sacrifices to delay them. They stayed with them for a few days so that Jin's army could come back and give Gang Leader Mao a good punch. It¡¯s just that Amin¡¯s plan this time is destined to fail again. Every time at this time, the star guiding Zuo Dudu and Dongjiang Commander-in-Chief will silently remind him that it¡¯s time. Let's go and take a step back. The sky is brighter "Retreat." Mao Wenlong sighed and said softly. With his innate intuition, Governor Zuo thought that it was just right to retreat now. He turned around and strode down the mountain path. At the same time, he became heavier. The tone commanded: "Retreat immediately." "I obey, Commander." Chen Jisheng and other Dongjiang officers clasped their fists and bowed. He respectfully sent Mao Wenlong away. When he was still the captain of Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers, Chen Jisheng admired the old commander's strategic sense. Other officers were also very superstitious about Marshal Mao. General Ping Liao's feeling was as accurate as divination. . After Mao Wenlong left, Chen Jisheng and others ordered without hesitation: "Withdraw the troops and return to North Korea." "Withdraw the troops and return to Kuandian." "This general will order everyone to return to the division." The Liaodong Ming army set off in groups. The Sun brothers also packed their bags and prepared to return to Yiju, North Korea. The place where they lived now was originally a blacksmith shop. Nurhaci built a large number of such handicraft workshops around Shenyang. This time, they became a temporary cold shelter for Dongjiang refugees. Since I came in. The Sun brothers have carefully inspected the entire house and now they are doing the final cleaning. The third and fourth children were cleaning up the tables in the house. These tables were originally used for sleeping but are no longer needed. They took out the iron pieces from the tables with bamboo pieces and threw them into the bag one by one. good. The eldest brother had already torn off all the window paper, rolled it into a roll and stuffed it into his backpack with the leather. The second son carefully wrapped the straw in the porcelain bowls and plates, counted them once, and then packed them up and took them away. After they went out, they lit a fire and happily dragged their big and small bags towards the team. "Brother Sun." There was a shout of joy from behind. The second brother turned around and saw that he had met his neighbors from Yizhou, the Bai family and his grandson. These days, when the Sun family boys go out to take turns on guard duty, Grandpa Bai is digging in the fields. In just a few days, the vole nest contains the winter food for nearly a hundred vole families. Needless to say, the boy from the Bai family also had a mountain-like burden on Grandpa Bai's back. The four brothers from the Sun family hurried up to support the old man: "Grandpa Bai, please take it easy and be careful!" "Boys, don't look down on your strong back! "The journey from Uiju, North Korea to Shenyang was rough and rough, but Grandpa Bai became more energetic day by day. He left behind the Sun brothers and quickly followed the team, showing a few incomplete teeth and laughing heartily: "Grandpa, I am so happy in my heart!" At this time, Juehua also had the same sunny morning in Huangshi early in the morning. I walked up to the podium. Most of the bonfires that had been burning on the ice all night were almost extinguished. Only wisps of green smoke were left. The guards on the morning shift were methodically doing their jobs with the sentry who was on duty at night.The night of handover work passed peacefully again. Huang Shi felt that Hou Jin had basically grabbed what he wanted, and in theory it was time to leave soon. Besides, Ning Yuan and Jue Hua were obviously not easy to chew on, and robbers always have to calculate the cost. What's more, Huangshi still remembers that Mao Wenlong would go to Shenyang City to grab a handful at this time. Now the defenses in the Liaozhong Plain are weaker than in history. It would be strange if Mao Wenlong didn't make a big fuss. Nurhachi won't have much time to spend with him here. . Although due to various reasons, Huangshi's plan to find an opportunity to defeat Nurhaci and reverse the strategic situation in Liaodong suffered certain setbacks. But after all, tens of thousands of lives in Juehua were saved. The tragedy here was changed just like Guangning. Huang Shi's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, his mood became very happy, and he whistled softly in his mouth. When Hong Antong came up, Huang Shi quickly stopped whistling. No matter what, you still need to show some dignity in front of your subordinates. Yesterday he gave Hong Antong a task. Hong Antong came here to report the result: "Sir, the second girl from the Zhao family is now living in her brother-in-law's house. His brother-in-law is a clerk of Juehua and works in General Hu Yining's old camp." Huang Shi glanced at Hong Antong and asked softly: "Her brother-in-law's surname is Chen, right?" Hong Antong reacted after being stunned and nodded quickly, "My lord, Mingjian." "Then do you know why Miss Zhao wants to live in her brother-in-law's house?" Without any hesitation, Hong Antong blurted out: "It seems because all the maids of Mr. Zhao's family have gone to Ningyuan Fort. Mr. Zhao has been busy with official duties these days and has been eating and sleeping in the Yamen. His subordinates speculated that he must have felt that it was not appropriate for Miss Zhao Er to be alone at home. So I went to live with my sister. "Yesterday, Huang Shi asked Hong Antong to try to find out the whereabouts of Miss Zhao Er, but after hearing this this time, he fell silent. Since there was no trace of the enemy, Huang Shi would not blow the cold wind on the command tower. After he walked down the control tower, he motioned to Hong Antong to walk side by side with him. Hong Antong has been following him for many years. They are all very familiar with each other. Hong Antong will definitely go back and do the things that Huangshi handed over. But when I went to Hong Antong to report to him, I rarely hesitated like squeezing out toothpaste. Hong Antong's brain was also very good at analyzing problems, and he always spoke clearly. He rarely kept his words in his heart and did not say anything. Huang Shi clearly remembered the other times because Hong Antong was resistant to the tasks he assigned. When Huang Shi asked him what he thought, Hong Antong began to comment: "I think it is very inappropriate for you to spy on this woman. If it is leaked, it will be extremely harmful to your name" Zhao Manxiong's foresight has been greatly improved in recent years. After this period of experience, Zhang Zaidi and Hong Antong have also grown a lot, but Zhang Zaidi always obeys Huangshi's orders unconditionally and executes them to the letter. Hong Antong often has his own ideas and is even dissatisfied with Huangshi's orders. Such as now. " Your Excellency is responsible for the safety of the entire Juehua Island and the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. At this time, we don't need the internal guards to conduct multiple investigations. At least we should let them rest. How can we spy on a woman from a good family?" Hong Antong became more and more excited as he spoke. Huang Shi was very disgusted with this order. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of Hong Antong¡¯s practice of boy skills. Huang Shi feels that this person is becoming more and more extreme. As the military situation on Changsheng Island continues to improve, the hatred towards the slaves makes Hong Antong seem to be unable to bear it for even one day. Now in Hong Antong's description, Huang Shi is simply a bastard who is greedy for women and despises the lives of soldiers: "My subordinates think it is inappropriate to put the troops in danger for a woman." Although my mood was suddenly affected by Hong Antong's words. It was extremely bad, but Huang Shi still managed to show an expression of approval on his face and nodded frequently, saying: "Okay, okay, I am indeed wrong about this. Thank you, Mr. Hong Qian, for speaking out." "My lord, you are serious." Hong Antong could hear the tone in Huang Shi's tone. His impatience and arrogance suddenly subsided a lot, and he hurriedly added: "This is also a piece of stupid loyalty among my subordinates." Huang Shi sighed after hearing this: "I know that loyal words are hard on the ears, so go ahead and say it." "There's nothing more to say." Hong Antong successfully drove away Huang Shi's good mood and then rambled on about some of the news he had found out about Miss Zhao Er. If he put this in front of him, maybe Huang Shi would listen. De was relishing it, but as soon as he gave him some "loyal advice" righteously and awe-inspiring, Huang Shi became less and less interested in the news. On the 27th, the day passed peacefully again, and there was no more gunfire in the direction of Ningyuan. The exploration horses sent by Huangshi were intercepted on the ice and unable to land. The Hou Jin Army still continues to discharge intelligence from Detective Jue Hua, but now their number has been greatly reduced. The staff officers all believe that this is an intelligence barrier rather than an intelligence tentacle. They also generally believe that the Hou Jin Army is preparing for a retreat. Huang Shi also expressed his approval of the judgment of Jin Qiude and his group. Since then the Jin army did notSpending more horsepower on continuous reconnaissance work shows that the enemy has little interest in attacking. Furthermore, Huangshi believes that without a detailed exploration of the weaknesses of the Ming army's defense line, Nurhachi would be unable to attack even if he wanted to. The three thousand Changsheng Army will definitely not be able to fight against the Houjin Seven Banners troops on the plains. The Juehua Guanning Army cannot count on the Ningyuan garrison and will definitely not leave the city. The current results are not unsatisfactory. After Huangshi sent an order to the entire army to stand firm, he took the initiative to invite the civil and military officials on the island to discuss matters. After the discussion was completed, it was natural to drink some wine to keep out the cold. Huang Shi paid tribute to General Yao Shen and Zhao Tongpan and left after a round of drinking on the pretext of being busy with military affairs. Walking to the canyon between the two mountains of Juehua, Huang Shi waved to the accompanying inner guards to retreat. After walking a short distance, Huang Shi saw a lone figure standing in the cold wind, his head and face covered tightly with winter clothes. Grizzly Panda saw some rumors about himself on the Internet. A certain netizen who loves Tatars and governors saw that this book is a "braid play." Some anonymous netizens argued that the author may be Japanese, Japanese, permanent resident in Japan, or studying in Japan. Wait, there is a saying from a certain Baidu forum that loves the Tartars and hates the Ming Dynasty that the author's ancestor should be surnamed Mao, or was once surnamed Mao. At least the author's real name should be "Mao Xionghui" or someone from Hangzhou Well, the author is here I took a look at this post and most of the people who spoke in it were very kind. Some of them advocated that the slave chief Hongli was "one emperor through the ages." There was also a compatriot of a certain ethnic group who once verified that "The Ten Days in Yangzhou is a lie by you Han people." Because there is no record in "History of Ming Dynasty". The editor of Qidian suggested that the author should adopt the attitude of "don't blame yourself if you don't blame others" for these rumors. A senior writer also comforted the author by saying that he was once accused of being a "Taiwanese, Hong Konger, and Japanese". They all told the author that they were slanderous. It cannot be denied and will only be denied more and more. The good-natured Grizzly Panda decided not to deny it, but it was just a casual observation: When an ordinary person born and raised in Tianjin discovered that he was a Japanese, a Chinese-Japanese, a student studying in Japan, a migrant worker in Japan, etc. When I suddenly found a group of people with the surname Mao in Hangzhou, and this bloodline had three origins: direct descendants, concubine descendants, and sworn brothers Well, it felt like a group of women I had never seen before with seven different skin colors. The children asked them to hug my thighs and shout at the same time.
