Chapter 163 Happiness comes too suddenly

Chapter 162

Jinzhou, Pingliao General's Mansion.

Zu Dashou also learned from his channels that Cheng Shijie of Ning Haijun had another great victory. He had five battles and five victories, and achieved a record of more than 700 beheadings.

Zu Dashou has not expressed his position yet, but Wu Xiang sighed: "Cheng Shijie still has a way of fighting. He can win such a difficult battle... Zu Shuai, judging from the situation, it will be difficult for Jian Nu to succeed."

Haizhou has taken advantage, should we send some troops there to help Ning Haijun?"

Wu Xiang's meaning is very obvious. This is a good opportunity to gain military exploits. Don't miss it!

Zu Dashou's face was a little gloomy. It wasn't that he didn't want to take advantage of this military merit, but he couldn't trust Wu Xiang. If Guan Ningjun was allowed to go up, Ning Haijun's steady victory would be broken.

Perhaps seeing Zu Dashou's concerns, Zu Dashou said happily: "This battle has attracted the attention of the whole country. It would be inappropriate for our Guan Ning Army to continue to stand aside and watch. Do you think we should take advantage of the empty defense of Jiannu to pull out a few soldiers?"

A stronghold closer to Jinzhou, or let me lead a group of elite troops to Lushun to join the war, so that I can give an account to the imperial court?"

Zu Dashou stood up with a cry and stared at Wu Xiang with sharp eyes: "Fight, fight, fight, you know how to fight, but you don't even think about it. Is Jiannu really that easy to fight? Do you really think that Jiannu is a soft persimmon?"

Wu Xiang hurriedly explained: "Commander Zu, what I mean is that we are not really fighting. We send thousands of horsemen to ride over. Naturally, everyone will be happy to win. The defeat has nothing to do with our Guan Ning Army. Anyway, this battle is between Cheng Shijie and

He has full command, we are just cooperating with him in fighting!"

It was okay for Wu Xiang not to speak. He was so angry that he was celebrating his ancestor's birthday: "How was the Battle of Daling River? The imperial court mobilized no less than 100,000 elites, but in the end, they were enslaved in batches.

They were annihilated on the banks of the Daling River, especially our Guan Ning Army, which suffered heavy losses and has not yet recovered its breath!"

Wu Xiang's head shrank and he did not dare to speak anymore.

The most terrible thing is that taking down this defense line is just the beginning. From Qianshan to Taizi River and then to Haizhou, there is a defense depth of more than a hundred miles. Even if the Qianshan defense line is broken, Haizhou's defense system is still intact.

Well, who knows what evil tricks the Ming army has prepared and waiting for them!

Cheng Shijie's bowl was really big, and he drank the mutton soup, adding a little chili oil, and enjoyed it...

Hearing this, Zu Dalue and Zu Dabi felt their hearts tremble.

Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui came all the way to celebrate their ancestor's birthday and hosted a banquet for Wu Xiang and his son. After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son left Jinzhou.

Zu Dabi felt a little disappointed: "Yes!"

"Of course not! They came all the way and slaughtered many soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty. They have to pay a price, right? The territory of the Ming Dynasty is not their back garden. They can come and leave as they please!"

Yes, Cheng Shijie did not have the military expenditure of the imperial court, but he went to get a total of 2.8 million taels of salt from Emperor Chongzhen. This was a huge sum of money. If placed in the hands of others, these salt citations were worth 1.79 million taels.

A thousand taels of silver, but in Cheng Shijie's hands, the iodized salt he sold was worth 12.6 million taels of silver, which was four and a half times that of ordinary salt.

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "Come here!"

This is the huge profit from technology monopoly. The military expenditure that Guan Ningjun gets is only 30 to 40% from the national treasury, and he has to manage it up and down. But Cheng Shijie doesn't need to manage it. Even if he manages something with high potential, it is basically worthless.

In addition, you can also share some money from high starting and diving.

Song Xiance shook his head: "I don't know!"

So, Chen Dayong's troops may have been working in vain since then.

Zu Dabi was ecstatic: "Brother means..."

"How can I trust you when you're like this?"

Huang Taiji felt that he was becoming less and less energetic.

"There will be a heavy snowstorm within three days."

"Lianghuan, Uncle Zhang, and you all must remember that these soldiers and horses are the capital for us to settle down in this troubled world. Our prosperity and wealth are all dependent on this. Every step must be done with caution. We must be cautious and act on impulse.

It’s undesirable!”

Zu Dabi said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Song Xiance nodded and said: "Commander, if we can really defeat Jiannu in one battle, when the two armies face each other in the future, if Jiannu is timid before fighting, we will be able to shed a lot of blood. Therefore, in this battle

Even if you sacrifice a few more soldiers, it’s worth it!”

Especially after one year of farming, Cheng Shijie's net profit exceeded four million taels of silver. Even if Ning Haijun expanded five times, he could still afford it.

In the Battle of Daling River, the Zu family army suffered heavy losses. It is absolutely impossible to say that they do not want to take revenge. However, Zu Dashou has changed. As the head of the Zu family, they will never face Wu Xiang.

He came to contradict Zu Dashou in front of Wu Sangui and his son.

Zu Dabi angrily kicked the table. This table was made of Qinggang wood and weighed five to six hundred kilograms. Zu Dabi only slightly kicked the table, but his kick was enough to kill him.

pain.

Cheng Shijie said loudly: "I don't want to play tricks with the Jiannu. Instead, I want to fight openly and openly with the Jiannu. I want to use real swords and real guns to confront the Jiannu. I want to smash the myth of the Jiannu with one hammer. What can I say?"

There are less than ten thousand Jurchens and they are absolutely invincible. I will kill these squeamish girls and make them wet their pants when they see our army’s flag!”

Faced with plenty of food and water, six thousand Guan Ning troops plus more than eighteen thousand Dongjiang troops were no small number.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Mongols were good at riding and shooting, Zu Dashou gave these Mongolians excellent armor and equipment, plus their generous treatment. Their combat effectiveness was top-notch among the Guan Ning Army. They followed Zu Dashou in the east and west campaigns.

With the enhanced equipment of the Mongolian cavalry, they can compete with the Jiannu red-armored soldiers on the battlefield. Of course, to be fair, they are even worse than the white-armored soldiers.

Huang Taiji hurriedly reached out and took the letter of war. On the cover of the letter of war, the words "War Letter" were neatly written in official calligraphy. Inside were Cheng Shijie's original words.

"And I!"

Cheng Shijie asked more than one old farmer who had the ability to see the clouds and the sky. In order to avoid accidents, he consulted more than a hundred farmers over fifty years old who had the ability to see the clouds and the sky.

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "What my uncle said is absolutely true. That boy Cheng Shijie just won a few battles by luck. What's so big about it? Once Jiannu gets ruthless and fights to the death with him, he will definitely not be able to hold on!"

Cheng Shijie's generosity allowed the soldiers of Guan Ning Army and Dongjiang Army to enjoy a feast that they might not even be able to eat during the Chinese New Year. During this meal, the soldiers of Guan Ning Army and Dongjiang Army all had round bellies and hiccups.

Cheng Shijie punched the table, looked at Guan Ningjun, Ning Haijun, and the generals of the Dongjiang Army and said: "Mr. Song, write a letter of challenge!"

Zu Dabi looked at the mutton in the bowls of Guan Ning's soldiers. Each piece of mutton was at least half a catty in size. He was shocked. Although Guan Ning was the richest army in the Ming Dynasty, it was inferior to Ning Haijun.

There are too many.

"What Master Zu said is absolutely true!"

Pig teammates.

Zu Dabi asked in surprise: "Could Shuai Cheng want to keep going like this until Jian Nu retreats?"

Meng En said: "Commander, let the brothers of Dongjiang Army and Guan Ning Army live here first, and kill the sheep for meat today~!"

Song Xiance bowed and said: "Yes!"

"Cheng Shuai, you don't know something. Shenyang is now an empty city. Those who can be moved have been moved. Erdeniqiqige (Zhezhe) took Princess Gulun and other children to Horqin in early October.

Save your relatives!"

You must know that Cheng Shijie's guard commander is the commander with the highest firearms equipment of Cheng Shijie. The thunder cannon alone is equipped with 32 whistles, a total of 256, and the flying thunder cannon also has 18 whistles, a total of 72.

.

"Cheng Shuai!"

"Soft?"

The six thousand cavalry are the only family assets that Brother Zu can use today. Most of these six thousand cavalry are of Mongolian origin. After the Jin Dynasty attacked Monan Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan's Ujumqin, Sunit, and Haoqi

In order to escape the war, the special forces defected to Lin Dan Khan's ally and brother-in-law Shuolei Jinong. Some of them defected to Huang Taiji, and some surrendered to Zu Dashou.

"There are plans. I have many plans. The General Staff has no fewer than ten plans for this battle. Why would I rather give up my plans and fight in the wilderness with the Jiannu? Moreover, the terrain is conducive to the Jiannu.

?”

Cheng Shijie feels like this now, but there is no way. Guan Ning's army is still the Ming Dynasty's army, at least it is still a very capable army. However, the uncertainty of this army is too great, so Cheng Shijie must guard against them.

Zu Dabi said excitedly: "Brother, don't worry, there are no cowards in our family!"

Sun Zhiman nodded and said: "Yes!"

Cheng Shijie suddenly realized that this time Huang Taiji was fighting a last-ditch battle. He had moved his family members in advance. In Horqin Mongolia, he and Huang Taiji had the same relationship as wearing the same pants. What's more, the distance was too far, and sending troops to launch a surprise attack would simply cost lives.

"There are no outsiders here, just call me Uncle Master!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a moment and said, "I said, you write it!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "The best way to deal with powerful enemies like Jiannu is to use national power to consume them bit by bit and crush them. Since they can be defeated by consumption, only fools would fight with them in the wild."

!”

While they were talking, a Jiannu scout ran into the big tent rolling and crawling.

Huang Long calmly picked up a large bowl, which could be said to be a basin, and directly filled it with a basin of mutton noodles. He also ordered two pieces of pancakes, crushed the pancakes into pieces, put them into the basin, and started to devour them.

Zu Dabi said uneasily: "Cheng Shuai, you...are spending too much money!"

Sun Zhiman also shook his head.

Song Xiance immediately wrote more than 400 words in a letter of challenge. Cheng Shijie glanced at it and said: "You're weak!"

General Guan Ning was warmly entertained and enjoyed a sumptuous meal. Cheng Shijie also gave each of them a Tang straight knife that sharpened iron like mud, and a set of armor made of fine steel.

These generals of Guan Ning Army were so happy that they could not find the north.

"That's it?"
