Chapter 48 The hero returns to Beijing in triumph
The old slave used the art of acupuncture to break through Yehe City, which is recorded in historical books. Kaiyuan City has not yet been lost, and it may have a certain deterrent effect on the Jianzhou Jurchens, so it depends on how Xiong Tingbi arranged it.
If Kaiyuan did not lose, Wild Boar Skin would risk launching the battle of Yehe City in order to unify the Jurchens. Malin of Kaiyuan is now very reluctant to protect himself and it is impossible to send troops to reinforce Yehe's troops. According to the original time and space, Xiong Tingbi, who was conquering Liaodong, would send three armies of Li Ruzhen, Li Guangrong and He Shixian to attack the Xinzhai of the Later Jin Dynasty, and rescue Yehe's troops by besieging Wei to save Zhao.
However, except for He Shixian's active advance and being blocked by the Later Jin army, Li Ruzhen and Li Guangrong were just playing tricks. Li Ruzhen was afraid of the enemy and was no longer as powerful as his father Li Chengliang. The main general was like this, and the soldiers under his command did not have much training, so naturally he could not defeat the Jianzhou Jurchens, and from then on, Ye He's tribe was destroyed.
This is the only way Gao Shixin can do about the situation outside the pass. He is not an invulnerable god. He will die if he fights thousands of troops alone. If the generals are not strong and the soldiers are not strong, it will be useless to fight no matter how hard they are.
Besides, after Xiong Tingbi was in charge of Liaodong, although he did not lose territory, Xiong Tingbi was a qualified commander, but his soldiers were not strong enough, so he could not take the initiative to send troops to stop Jianzhou from destroying Yehe's tribe. Later, the old slave unified the Jurchens and launched a large-scale war. In the battle of Guangning, Sun Degong was also a traitor.
Sun Degong had to find an excuse to get rid of it, and Wang Huazhen also had to be replaced. The soldiers and generals in Liaodong even needed a major change. Only in this way can they not lose Liaodong. This is a grand project, and Gao Shixin's current position cannot do this at all.
In fact, it was because the situation in Liaodong was so frustrating that Xiong Tingbi's ability could not be restored that he submitted a memorial to the court, saying that he would give up Liaodong and just guard Shanhaiguan. This memorial also laid the disaster for Xiong Tingbi's death later. In fact, Xiong Tingbi's proposal was correct. If he continued to fight with the Later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, he would waste a lot of money, waste a lot of money, and lose his troops. With the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, he would not be able to make any trouble at all, so it would be better to shrink his troops.
Later, Sun Chengzong was replaced and went to Liaodong, and adopted the fortress tactics, trying to build the fortress all the way to Shenyang! Unfortunately, this method was doomed to fail, and the Ming Dynasty's economy could not afford such consumption at all. Sun Chengzong built many fortresses, but they were eventually defeated by Huang Taiji, resulting in a series of miserable defeats in Liaodong.
However, Sun Chengzong was much better than his student who only played the role of praising Liao for five years. At least there was no problem with Sun Chengzong when he was in Liaodong. When that guy went to Liaodong, he cut Mao Wenlong. As a result, he pacified Liao for five years and reached the foot of the capital.
Gao Shixin took Man Gui, Huang Degong, Scarface and more than 100 people out of the city, preparing to walk towards Liaoyang.
"Oh," a low cry came from not far away, and a brown and black beast was running towards him.
"Xiong Da!" Gao Shixin shouted.
Xiong Da ran to his master happily like a dog, put his huge head close to Gao Shixin, and made a low "whip" cry from his mouth, like a huge docile dog.
"General Gao Qi is amazing. This big bear is actually scolded like a dog by you." Huang Degong said with a smile.
"Actually, animals also have feelings. Xiong Da was subdued by me and gave it food to eat, so it was obedient. But it could only follow me to Chenyang. I couldn't take it to the capital, unless I had a large area of my own, I could take it back." Gao Shixin stroked Xiong Da's huge head and said.
A group of people took a huge brown bear and marched south along the vast grassland.
From Kaiyuan to Chenyang, it was about 250 miles. There was no war anyway. A group of cavalry walked slowly with a big brown bear. They walked 80 miles a day. It took only three days to reach Chenyang.
When you arrive in Chenyang, you will continue to move forward, and it will be a densely populated area. When you arrive here, Gao Shixin can only release Xiong Da to the grassland again.
"Xiong Da, there are more people going forward, so you can go here. Go to the wilderness to find something to eat. Don't worry, I will come back to find you in a while." Gao Shixin said to Xiong Da.
Xiong Da made a "whimper" sound like he could understand his words. After a long time, he turned around and walked away slowly, took a few steps, and turned around from time to time to look at his master.
"Don't underestimate this thing. His intelligence is similar to that of a three-year-old child. This bear may be smarter." Gao Shixin said, pointing to the brown bear who was leaving.
Nonsense, this kind of big guy is raised by a dog in the 21st century. As long as it is not hungry, there will generally be no problem. Of course, some Russians even have their own dogs eaten by the brown bears they raise, which is not fed.
When he arrived in Chenyang, Gao Shixin did not return to his home in Shenyang. There was no one at home anyway. Zhang Yong had already returned to Beijing, so it would be meaningless to go back to see it. If Yang Hao's people saw it and asked him to stay, he would not know when he would return to the capital.
The capital city is his real home, not only his parents, but also his brothers, but also his dream of becoming prosperous.
"Brother, when you arrive in Chenyang, you won't go home to see you?" Man Gui asked.
"There is no one here anyway. My parents and good brothers are in the capital, so I'd better go back to Beijing directly." Gao Shixin said.
From Shenyang to Liaoyang, it is about 160 miles away. This cavalry traveled 80 miles a day, and it took only two days to reach outside Liaoyang City.
Man Gui, Scarface and the newly recruited Jurchens must have entered Liaoyang City to report to Yang Hao, but Gao Shixin did not let Huang Degong enter the city. He said to Huang Degong: "Brother Huang, you will follow me anyway in the future. You can go back to Beijing with me. Brother, I will give you a position as an Embroidered Uniform Guard. After you become an Embroidered Uniform Guard, you will be glorious."
Huang Degong said: "General Gao Qi, Bei Zhi's mother is in Liaoyang City. Can I let Bei Zhi take her mother to the capital together?"
"Of course there is no problem. You and I are good brothers. Your mother is my mother. Of course I have to respect her. Brother, I want to go back to Beijing to enjoy my happiness, so I naturally have to take her with me with me." Gao Shixin laughed.
Huang Degong's face was in a difficult mood, and his mouth squirmed a few times. After a long time, he spoke as if he had made a great determination: "But the journey to the capital is long, and my mother is old, so she may be slow to move, which will delay General Gaoqi."
Gao Shixin smiled and said, "Don't worry, you go to hire a car, and the travel expenses to the capital will be covered by my brother!"
Huang Degong's mother, Xu, was originally from Kaiyuan. Because after the Battle of Sarhu, the military situation was urgent, Huang Degong arranged for his mother to escape to Liaoyang with a group of Kaiyuan people.
Huang Degong, who was originally in time and space, found an opportunity to escape and flee back to Shenyang since the failure of the Battle of Kaiyuan. Later, he became Yuan Yingtai's personal soldier. Because of his military achievements, he was promoted from a soldier to a general step by step, and then to one of the four towns in Jiangbei.
In this time and space, Gao Shixin wanted to bring Huang Degong by his side, and this was a gold medal thug. No matter how powerful he was, he was still weak. Can one person beat a large group of people? He dealt with the people in front and the few people shooting cold arrows from behind, which was difficult to defend against. With one person helping, the two of them were back to back, and the power increased a lot.
Gao Shixin waited outside the city for a while, but it wasn't long. After about an hour, he saw Huang Degong riding a horse out of the city, and a carriage was followed by.
"Brother, let's go and go back to Beijing!" Gao Shixin rode his horse to meet him and patted Huang Degong's shoulder excitedly.
The two rode horses in parallel, and the carriage Huang's mother was riding followed behind.
If you hire a car alone to return to Beijing from Liaoyang, the travel fee is not cheap.
During the Ming Dynasty, there were already long-distance passenger buses. A carriage could take seven or eight people, which was equivalent to modern buses. They would buy tickets and get on the bus, and there was a certain time to leave every day.
But it is not cheap to pack a carriage alone, which is equivalent to taking a taxi from Liaoyang to Beijing. However, Gao Shixin still has a lot of money in his hand, and in addition to the expenses, most of the money he received was taken back to Beijing by Zhang Yong. However, when he ransacked the Jurchen village in Jianzhou, he killed people and set fires and naturally grabbed a lot of money.
Now Gao Shixin has more than 1,600 taels of silver and more than 200 taels of gold leaves on him, as well as valuable goods such as Dongzhu, ginseng, mink, etc., so he doesn't have to worry about money at all.
After taking an old man with him, it was impossible for him to sleep in the wilderness. Gao Shixin controlled the speed of the march and ensured that he could find an inn to rest at night.
But Gao Shixin never expected that a group of people would quietly follow them on the territory of Daming.
