Chapter 73 Victory Escape 2
"Big Beile, you won't let go if you are a little frustrated." Amin really didn't make fun of Dai Shan. He only had more than 5,000 cavalrymen. If Dai Shan gave up, he wouldn't be able to deal with more than 10,000 Ming troops in Shunyi.
"Er Beile, the previous agreement needs to be changed. Today, the Ming army has thousands of elite cavalry. We two continue to divide the troops to attack. I am afraid that Shunyi will not be able to take it." Dai Shan's proposal is very reasonable. It is normal for the Ming army in the city to retreat and underestimate the enemy. Shenshu Camp came on the stage and sounded the alarm for the two flag masters. Even if they were arrogant, they could not deny that Shenshu Camp was an elite soldier.
"What are the good suggestions for Big Baylor?" Amin is not a fool either. He is more sensitive to danger. Dai Shan spoke up to change the way of combat. Amin raised his hands to agree.
"I will be on standby tomorrow. I will go back to the tent to ask for a batch of artillery. Then I will collapse the city wall and see when they can shrink!" After all, Daishan was very confident in the ability of the Later Jin cavalry, but the Ming army had a nasty turtle shell, which made him unable to start happily.
"Okay, I'm just a little worried. Khan may not be willing to borrow our artillery." Of course, Amin hoped not to attack the city and fight against the Ming army in the field, but his concerns were not aimless.
"The second Beile doesn't need to worry too much. Will my son and I still need to approve the loan?" Dai Shan was confident. His eldest son Yue Tuo had more than ten cannons in his hand, and there were two largest red cannons. Dai Shan thought that it would be enough to get these two red cannons, so he was very confident.
"But that's the case. I'm waiting for the good news from Big Baylor here." Amin felt very uncomfortable. He had a good son to show off. His sons had good skills but their luck was far inferior. They were incomparable to Daishan's banner master's son!
The two banner masters of the Later Jin Dynasty changed their tactics, and corresponding discussions were also held in Shunyi City. "Mr. Man, Jiannu only has 10,000 troops, and we have 20,000 people, why not take the initiative to attack?" Wu Weiying received an unexpected reward for his last military achievements. Emperor Chongzhen promoted the third-class Gongshun Marquis of the Wu family to the second-class. Third-class and second-class marquis were not as simple as higher than the first level. In addition to the improvement of status and increased fief, the improvement of the level also has the benefit of extending the hereditary age.
Originally, the Marquis of Gongshun was a third-class. Wu Weiying passed it to the next generation and had to reduce the time and become a fourth-class marquis, and when his grandsons were born, he would become a first-class marquis. By analogy, if the Wu family could not obtain enough military merit rewards, the Marquis of Gongshun could pass it on for two generations, and the Marquis of Gongshun was four generations. After the sixth generation, the Wu family would no longer be noble.
There are also titles that do not need to be reduced. For example, the titles of founding heroes such as Duke of Wei, Duke of Ding, and Duke of Britain are granted titles. Unless their descendants want to rebel, they will enjoy the treatment of Duke of the country in the next year.
Wu Weiying knew that the second-class marquis came a little unreasonable, and it was probably related to the court's debate over improving the status of a warrior during this period. Therefore, Wu Weiying's desire for military achievements became much stronger. Only after understanding the strength of Jiannu's troops would he make suggestions to take the initiative.
Man Gui did not dare to learn from Zhou Shixiong, so he only regarded Wu Weiying as the Shenshu Camp. "Marty, the lower lord thinks that defending the city is the best strategy." Man Gui was very respectful and refused to agree to the sending troops.
"Mr. Man should explain it clearly. I want to know why." Wu Weiying was a little proud, and he couldn't blame him. After all, Wu Weiying was only in her twenties. It is reasonable to be a little proud at such a young age.
"Mr. Marquis, we have 20,000 people. Marquis and General Hei, and the 8,000 troops under the jurisdiction of Xue Camp are all elite soldiers. Governor Sun also has 2,000 troops who can fight. These are 10,000 troops who can really go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. General You, 5,000 guards can only do the work of repairing bridges and roads. The remaining five thousand old Beijing camps, what do Wu Hou think they can do?" Man Guiban pointed his finger at Wu Weiying to calculate the combat power of the cavalry camp, so that the generals present could understand the actual situation.
Wu Weiying understood that he seemed a little arrogant just now, "Mr. Man is worthy of being a famous general of the dynasty. He is well aware of the three things that know himself and his opponents. He will admire him." Wu Weiying took the initiative to lower his posture and admit his mistake to Man Gui. Man Gui was not a naughty man. He praised Wu Hou Yingming and other words, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious.
Fang Zhenghua kept watching the performance without making a sound. The rushing just now made him feel comfortable. After many years of learning martial arts, he finally found a place to use it. The only small regret was that Zhou Shixiong was not here, and he could not convey the will of Emperor Chongzhen to Zhou Shixiong. Both sides decided to wait and spend the fifth day quietly.
"Sir, I found more than 400 craftsmen. Jiannu detained them alone in the county jail cell. If it weren't for the women who cooked, they wouldn't be able to find them." Zuo Liangyu had a good time last night and returned to Zhou Shixiong as a messenger today. Of course, Liu Liangzuo, who was sympathetic, was indispensable.
"Kunshan, go to the warehouse to pull out all the cloth and wool, and let those women make cotton coats and trousers. If there are too many things, don't waste them. " Zhou Shixiong was writing a plan. Before this retreat, he had only rough ideas before saving the people. Now he must make a detailed plan, especially what needs to be prepared in the early stage, so that he would not find that he would be missing.
The reason why Zhou Shixiong was confident of transferring the people was because he thought of an ice transportation tool, a sled cart. Its load capacity is not limited by axles and wheels. The only thing that limits the cargo capacity of the sled cart is the size of traction. There are almost no technical requirements for converting an ordinary cart into a sled cart. In addition, Zhou Shixiong had conducted a modification test a few years ago. Now, as long as there are enough personnel, it is not a problem to modify thousands of carts within three days.
All the things that foreign races outside the pass attacked the Central Plains were bound to do was to collect craftsmen, and Jiannu was no exception. It was only more than 100,000 people who found 400 craftsmen. The proportion was a bit low! Zhou Shixiong followed Zuo Liangyu to the prison on the west side of the county government. He wanted to talk to these craftsmen to see if there were any masters like Gong Dajiang Iron and Marshal.
Hundreds of craftsmen stuffed the county jail full. The only difference between them and the prisoners was that the prison door was not locked. Zhou Shixiong walked into the prison and retreated. The smell here was even more exaggerated than outside. "Kunshan, I will send all the craftsmen to Xiaoyang Town immediately and arrange for people to bathe and change clothes for them. I have great use for these craftsmen."
After entering the city for a long time, Zhou Shixiong was a little accustomed to the odor in the air. After being fumed by the strong concentration of poison gas in the prison, Zhou Shixiong immediately changed his workplace and changed his office to the mayor of the Liyang Town Town.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shixiong also thanked Jiannu. Most of these people were hungry and cold and were weak and unable to maintain any dissatisfaction. Otherwise, it would be impossible to just send people to protect food and grass to prevent being robbed, more than a thousand people in Zhou Shixiong were not enough. After eating the first meal of porridge, Qingzheng provided Zhou Shixiong with nearly 10,000 labor. Zhou Shixiong arranged for them to cook medicine soup for the weak people to take.
Zhou Shixiong had to admit that women's tolerance is much stronger than men. Most of the more than 40,000 women have recovered a certain amount of physical strength. At the worst, they can eat by themselves without having to arrange for people to take care of them. Zhou Shixiong believes that after the supplement of porridge and medicinal soup, one day is enough to make all women return to normal.
"Sir, a few craftsmen come to thank you." Although Zuo Liangyu was illiterate, he knew the rules very well. Zhou Shixiong did not ask him to find a representative among the craftsmen, he did it first.
"Meet the adults. The young Kuai Fu has met him. Thank you for your life." An old man led five young men into Zhou Shixiong's temporary office. The old man led everyone to kneel down to Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong helped him, "Don't give him a gift, sit."
"The old man's surname is Kuai, is it a descendant of Kuai Luban?" In order to investigate who the secret agent Kuai Shou was, Zhou Shixiong heard Li Fusheng introduce Kuai Xiang and knew that the Kuai family was very famous in the craftsmanship industry.
"My lord clearly sees that the younger one is the one." It is worthy of being from the Assistant Minister of Works. Although the ancestors of this Assistant Minister have been around for a hundred years, Kuai Fu's performance is still very talented.
"Kai Dajiang, Jiannu has always been accusing the Central Plains craftsmen. Why is there only a few hundred people this time?" Hundreds of craftsmen were really not enough, so Zhou Shixiong was so persistent about this issue.
"Ask the adults, in addition to our group of craftsmen from Santun Camp, there should be more than 2,000 craftsmen. If you ask the girl who delivered the meal, you should know where they are." The old man was very calm and showed Zhou Shixiong a clear way.
Zhou Shixiong gave Zuo Liangyu a wink, and Zuo Liangyu immediately went out to find someone. Zhou Shixiong was very interested in these craftsmen from Santun Camp, "Kuai Dajiang, why do the craftsmen from Santun Camp be locked up alone?"
"After my words, Jiannu wants us to offer "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation", especially the manufacturing and use of firearms in "The Real Estate of Military Training" written by General Qi himself." Kuai Fu said arrogantly. No wonder he was so arrogant. It turned out that this old man had a treasure in his hand.
"I wonder what treasures this Fire Dragon Artifact and the Real Military Academy are?" No matter how awesome Kuai Fu is, it is useless. Zhou Shixiong didn't know him or heard of these two books.
"Sir, it is "The Fire Dragon Artifact Formation" and "The Real Document of Military Training". The Red Dragon Magic Formation is a military book for the Ming Dynasty to make firearms and gunpowder. The Real Document of Military Training is a record of the Qi family army summarizing the Qi family army's training methods. They are all amazing books comparable to Sun Tzu's Art of War." Kuai Fu was very dissatisfied with the ignorant adult, and his tone of speaking became much colder.
"It turns out to be a military book. I wonder if any of the craftsmen in Santunying are good at wooden tools?" Zhou Shixiong sighed and immediately changed the topic. He was not very interested in firearms and other things.
"My little nephew Kuai Mu is good at wooden tools." This time, Kuai Fu stopped calling out to the adults. It seemed that the old man had a bad impression of Zhou Shixiong.
"Then please call Kuaimu. I have something to tell him to do." Zhou Shixiong was not interested in paying attention to the old man's psychological changes. He only cared about who could help in the work of renovating the sled car and asked him to put it aside and deal with other issues.
Kuai Fu pointed to a young man behind him, "He is Kuaimu." Zhou Shixiong realized that he was just asking the old man's name, but no one else asked his name, which was really a bit rude. "What are these names?"
