Chapter 1060 Winning(1/2)
The earth-shaking guns and cannons inside and outside the Ming army camp on the east bank of the Yajiang River undoubtedly shocked Fei Yangwu and other Qing troops in Jiulian City.
The two places are across the river, and the straight line is only a few miles away.
Both sides could even see each other's flags and camps.
In fact, before the war between Engetu led his army to raid the Ming army camp, Fei Yangwu, the Qing army's Duke, had already held the Qianli Miles Miles and kept paying attention to the movements near the Ming army camp in Jiangdong.
But what he wanted to see was that more than 2,000 vest soldiers led by Erosaichen and Engetu broke through the Ming army camp, and then killed all directions to win a refreshing victory for him.
However, the final result not only disappointed him, but also made him feel a pain of being cut off his arms, but also made him frightened.
He and Tong Shounian, who were accompanying him, stood at the highest point at the head of Jiulian City and watched almost the whole process of Engetu leading his army to rush into the camp, then falling into a trap, and then being quickly wiped out.
At the same time, they also witnessed the tragic ending of Erosaichen and his troops who were under the throne and evacuated in a hurry, but were blocked near the Ming army camp and finally attacked from front and back, resulting in the entire army being wiped out.
Of course, Fei Yangwu, who was standing at the highest point of the city of Jiuliancheng, held a thousand-mile mirror in his hand, also saw the bloody scene of the blue flag captive who was caught falling off a horse and being bound in an open area, beheaded one after another.
What made him so furious that he was furious was that he recognized the executioner in Qianlijing. He knew that the man was Niulu Zhangjing under Engetu Mongolian Jiala.
Although he couldn't call out the name of Niu Lu Zhangjing for a while, he knew very well that Niu Lu Zhangjing was a submissive slave in front of him, the royal family, and in front of Jiala Zhangjing Engetu.
This made him feel particularly chilled by the backlash from his slaves.
Because he knew very well that the real Jianzhou Jurchens did not have many young and strong Dingkou.
Once the Eight Banners and Mongolia are alienated from the Manchu Eight Banners, the end of the Jianzhou Jurchens will be really not far away.
Of course, the betrayal of the Mongolian Niulu Zhang Jing does not mean the alienation of the Eight Banners Mongolia, but it is a dangerous precedent.
In previous wars, there were many Niulu Zhangjing who died in battle, and many of them had higher levels, but few of them turned against each other or rebel after being captured.
However, now, not only is the Eight Banners Han army no longer as reliable as before, but even the Niulu Zhangjing under the Eight Banners Mongolia has begun to become unreliable.
In this way, after witnessing the entire battle that was suddenly launched by his own command near the Ming army camp in Jiangdong, but was quickly extinguished by the Ming army, who had already prepared it, Fei Yangwu, who was frightened, was bedridden that afternoon.
In April, it was hot at noon and cold in the morning and evening. Fei Yangwu had not had a rest for several days. He was also frightened by the wind at the top of Jiuliancheng. He was also frightened. In the afternoon, he had a headache and felt dizzy all over. At night, he started to have a high body and heat. Sometimes he was awake and sometimes he fell asleep, and could not see things.
Suddenly, the Qing army in Jiulian City was immediately panicked and fell into chaos.
As a person with a high status left by Fei Yangwu, Tong Shounian was glad to abandon the Hushan Fortress and retreated into the city-consolidated Jiuliancheng defense. On the other hand, he sent people out of the city overnight to attack Jiuliancheng Qing army and failed to attack the Ming army camp. Erosechen and Engetu were killed. Fei Yangwu, the Duke of Zhenguo, urgently reported to Phoenix City that he fell ill.
On the morning of April 15, the 15th year of Chongzhen, that is, on the morning of April 15, the seventh year of Chongde, Prince Zheng, who was in charge of Phoenix City, had just woken up and received an emergency military information from Jiuliancheng.
"What is Fei Yangwu doing?! I have repeatedly warned him that he should focus on guarding and the entire army as the best. We must not act rashly, why just refuse to listen?!"
Facing the new assistant general Babutai, the third-class assistant general of the Lanqi Zuoli Banner who rushed to the prince's mansion to report the military situation in Jiuliancheng, and the Han army in the Lanqi Mangushan Duojili, Jiergalang was even more angry when he was shocked.
"It's really a waste of money. I repeatedly praised him to the emperor's master, praised him, saying that he was mature and polite, understood the overall situation, and was able to take on a great task. Now, he is simply a waste!
"That Engetu has always been impulsive and reckless, and it is not worth mercy to die. But when Erosaichen was the first to be a knight, he played under his command. How many battles have been fought between big and small, but why are he still so frivolous and unstable!"
While looking at the urgent news from Jiuliancheng, Jirgalang cursed Fei Yangwu who was ill in bed, Engetu and Erosechen who had already died.
Babutai, who was only appointed Minister of the Left Lishu Banner at the end of last year, and Duojili, who served as the Mangushan Army of the Han Army of the Lan Banner at the beginning of this year, bowed and the other knelt on both knees, endured Jirgalang's sudden anger together.
This Babutai is the son of the concubine of the old Nunuerhaci. Although he is one of Huang Taiji's many brothers, he has no status and no sense of existence.
When Huang Taiji just succeeded to the throne, he wanted to differentiate the powerful gangs of the Great Bele Daishan, the Second Bele Amin and the Third Bele Manguertai by winning over and reusing his brothers who were never valued during the period of Nurhaci, to consolidate his position. Therefore, he once entrusted important tasks to Babutai and asked him to be the banner of the Zuoli Zheng Huangqi.
However, Babutai was soon caught and sued for the mistake of making a mistake.
Since then, Babutai, who has insufficient experience in fighting, has basically been idle.
If Huang Taiji hadn't felt that the prestige, ability, and trustworthy characters in the royal family had too many prestige and trustworthy in recent years, they wouldn't have thought of this somewhat mediocre Babutai and made him the Minister of the Left Li Banner of the Inlaid Blue Banner.
Although Babutai is the son of an old slave, he is still alive because he is a concubine, so he has only received the title of a third-class general of the auxiliary country at such age.
As for the title itself, Babutai is really apart from his cousin Jirgalang.
But in terms of his background, Babutai is one of the sons of Nuerhaci. He is still very decent in front of Jirgalang, and at least he has to kneel down without any movement.
As for the new Han army in the Inlaid Blue Banner, who had many rituals in Mangu Mountain, no matter how powerful he was in front of Jiergalang, he was just a servant. When he reported the matter in person, especially when reporting bad news, he had to kneel down.
"This, the prince calms down. Fei Yangwu is still young after all, and he has some inadequate things in his work. It is understandable that Jiuliancheng is still in our hands."
Babutai is very thin and not tall. He is completely opposite to the short, fat and rich Jirgalang, and looks very weak.
He was several years older than Jirgalang, and he was considered Jirgalang's cousin. At this time, he was furious when he heard the news and hurried out to smooth things over.
"And, no matter how powerful that Yang Zhen is, he is just stationed in Jiangdong at the moment, and he only dares to look across the river from Jiuliancheng! Next, as long as Fei Yangwu and the others know their shame and then bravely defend Jiuliancheng, the overall situation will still be under the control of the prince."
Babutai touched the sparse beard on his long chin and talked freely, and for a moment he looked like a literati and poet giving advice.
"Yes, Prince and Tong Liushi's various Han army Niulu have retreated into Jiulian City. Although the Niulu led by Engetu and Erosaichen were damaged, at this time, there were at least eight Niulu available soldiers in Jiulian City, and there were two thousand followers. Relying on the city, it would not be too much risk in the short term!"
Duojili was the second son of He Heli, the former leader of Dong E's tribe, the later Jin Zhengzheng general of the Nurhaci period. He is about fifty years old now, but the little braid behind his head is gray and he kneels on the ground and talks, looking like a dry old man.
He was one of the former sons of the yen masters whom Huang Taiji appointed at the end of last year to further consolidate his authority and to better control the Eight Banners.
In the original history, due to age, these people had already begun to stand aside and had already begun to give up space to the newly emerging younger generations in the royal family.
However, in this life, the rise of Yang Zhen and Jinhai Town changed this.
Because many outstanding figures among the younger generation of the Qing royal family, including many young and promising sons of the heroes, were broken into Yang Zhen's hands.
Huang Taijis thought about it and chose it again and again, but in the end he could only choose some people like Babutai and Duojili.
However, these people are reliable, but they have never fought directly with Yang Zhen and the soldiers of Jinhai Town. They thought that Yang Zhen and the soldiers of Jinhai Town were the same as the soldiers of Ming army they had known before.
This is also one of the reasons why Prince Zheng Jirgalang has been afraid to act rashly for a long time.
To put it bluntly, Jirgalang does not have much confidence in these people he is currently under.
At this moment, it was exactly that, he had just heard Duo Jili say that Jiuliancheng would not have much risk in the short term. He glared and threw the military intelligence report in his hand at him, and shouted angrily:
"Fart! Jiuliancheng leans against the Yalu River. Once the fleet of Jinhai Town enters the sea and reaches the river near Jiuliancheng, sets up heavy artillery bombardment. Without Engetu and Erosechen's vest soldiers, how long can they hold on to the city?!"
Jirgalang's actions and rebellious questions suddenly stopped Duojili.
Including Babutai, who was standing aside, was also stunned for a moment.
"The fleet of Jinhai Town?"
“From the current from the sea?”
The two of them whispered, as if they were talking to themselves, but were full of questions.
However, when Jirgalang saw them like this, he ignored them at the moment, but instead shouted at the group of Bayala who were guarding outside the door:
"Go and call Gong Adei and Xindali!"
"Yeah!"
Bayala, who was outside the guard gate, immediately took the order and left.
Next, Jirgalang closed his eyes and rested, and stopped talking.
Babutai and Duojili were still standing and the other kneeling. They were afraid that they would be in trouble again, and no one dared to say anything. The scene fell into an awkward silence.
Fortunately, Melezhang Jinggong Ade and Xindali knew that there was an emergency pond to report to Jiuliancheng. They had already arrived at the prince's mansion and waited for the summons in the front yard, so they rushed over soon.
As soon as the two of them quickly walked into the house and knelt down, Jirgalang opened his eyes and said to one of the burly strong men:
"Xindali, I heard that there will be a tide around the Yajiang River Road every month. Is this rumor true?"
"If you go back to the master, this is not a rumor. There will be a tide around the Yajiang River every month. At that time, the sea water will rise sharply and the river surface will rise. Marine warships can travel in the opposite direction along the river estuary and reach the river surface north of the Dazhe River estuary!"
Xin Dali was born in a dynasty and is now Meile Zhangjing, who is the chief executive of Goryeo Niulu under the Inlain Lanqi. However, he had been living near the Yajiang River before, so he was still very clear about the hydrological situation of the Yajiang River. He now said what he knew and his words were particularly clear and firm.
This man is tall and has a good appearance. Unfortunately, the rat tail on his head is too ugly, which destroys his majestic appearance.
"You all heard it?"
As soon as Cindali finished speaking, Jirgalon immediately turned his gaze to the standing Babutai and the kneeling Duojili.
At this time, the two of them nodded with concern, especially Babutai, who obviously realized something, so after nodding, he immediately continued:
"If there will be a tide when looking at the sun, it will be today, because today is April 15th, and this month's sun is the sun!"
"That's right, it's either today's night or tomorrow's night. I think that the reason why Yang Zhen stationed in Jiangdong must be waiting for this opportunity!"
"Prince, if this is the case, wouldn't Jiuliancheng be in danger?"
Duojili had obviously understood it, so he changed his attitude that was a little slow and anxious just now.
After all, he has been in Phoenix City for several months. Although he has not fought directly with Yang Zhen and his troops, he has also heard that the navy in Jinhai Town is quite powerful.
However, Jirgalang just glanced at him with a sinister face and did not answer the conversation.
The answer is obvious, and Jirgalang doesn't need to say anything else.
However, at this moment, Gong Aday, who had not spoken since he came in, suddenly said:
"The danger is of course danger, because if you are not careful, Jiuliancheng will fall. But if you say that danger is in danger, it will not be."
As soon as Gong Ade said this, Jirgalang, Babutai, Dojili and Sindari's eyes were all focused on him.
Jiergalang frowned even more, thinking about something, then picked up the covered tea on the small table beside him, took a sip, and found that it was already cold, and then vomited back. He looked at Gong Aday and said slowly:
"Get up and talk about it, what do you think?"
Gong Aday also came from a royal family, and his father was Bayala, the youngest younger brother of Old Nunuerhaci.
Gong Adei, who is in his thirties, is the fourth son of Bayala. He is not as good as Babutai. He has not even obtained the title of a third-class auxiliary general. It was not until the end of last year that he made a Melezhangjing under the Inlain Lan.
