Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 494 A Powerful Offensive

After a pause, he seemed to be drooling and added: "There should be no mistake, it's the smell of mutton!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Jianlu was still hesitating, but most of the Jianlu became excited, and many of them shed tears!
The Jianlu who was so excited was actually not a real Jianzhou Jurchen, but a member of the Eight Banners of Mongolia.In the past, they were used to eating beef and mutton, and they didn't think it was a big deal at the time.But ever since they didn't have to eat, their desire for beef and mutton has been dreaming day and night, and it's understandable to be so excited when they hear the aroma of mutton.

Among the horse scouts of Jianlu, the leader is the real Jurchen of Jianzhou, but most of the scouts are Mongols, because their riding skills are superb.

Most of the people coaxed together, and their leader couldn't hold back anymore, so he agreed and rushed over.Anyway, as long as the situation is not right, just run.

There are no restrictions on the scout battle, and it is entirely up to them to decide whether they want to run or fight.

After approaching the top of the mountain, these Jianlu began to dismount and touch over.One thing that's strange is that I didn't see Tan Ma responding here: something fishy!
Even so, at this time, they also smelled the faint aroma of mutton in the air, and immediately, the saliva came down again.In their minds, they automatically imagined that the mutton was boiled in water, right?The most practical way, the soup can still drink a few big bowls!
Smelling this fragrance, many people's stomachs let out an unsatisfactory "cuckling" sound.

Mongolians, those are all carnivores.But they haven't eaten meat for a long, long time. If they were not selected as scouts and had to go on missions, if they just stayed in the camp, they could only eat wild vegetables and thin soup.Even if there is a mission, there is bun, but as for the meat?That thing is only the meat of the two-legged sheep!
The desire for mutton kept these Mongolians vigilant, but the foot touched it uncontrollably.

After turning a corner, the front suddenly opened up, and they discovered that in their open space, on the upwind side, there was indeed an iron pot, and the water in the iron pot was boiling with firewood burning.Visible to the naked eye, there is mutton in the pot.

The number of people who were not accepted by the Ming army on the opposite side was about the same as them.This made them bolder.However, they were very surprised. They saw Tanma, two Mongols who stayed here, their weapons were confiscated, and they were eating voraciously by the side of the iron pot, among the piles that the Ming army did not collect at night. A piece of sheep bone, when they saw them coming, they didn't say hello, and regardless of the hot soup, they raised their necks and poured it into their stomachs.

This scene made the eyes of those Mongolian explorers straighten!
However, the few Jianzhou Jurchens among them still maintained their rationality, gripped their knives and guns, and shouted in a low voice: "Prepare to fight, everyone will have something to eat!"

The temptation of mutton is not as obvious to them as it is to those Mongolians.

The Ming army did not take over there at night, and also saw them appear, and they all raised their bows and arrows, or raised their muskets, etc., and began to be on guard.One of them said a few words to the two Mongolian explorers who were eating and drinking.

Then, here I saw the two Mongolian explorers reluctantly put down the sheep bones and soup bowls in their hands, and yelled at this side in the native language of the Mongolian tribe.

"The Ming army said that as long as you surrender, everyone will have meat to eat, and you don't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

"Yes, this mutton tastes so good. It's from the Aohan tribe. It's all mutton from our grasslands. It tastes the same, and it's definitely not the mutton from Guannei!"

"The Ming army also said that you have to hand in the nomination certificate and kill those Jurchens, and you will be like us."

"In a fight, they will definitely not be opponents of the Ming army. Their firearms are all very powerful, and they can't beat them!"

"..."

As the old saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food!This sentence, sometimes it can be said that birds die for food, and people are also crazy for food!

Under the temptation of the same clansmen, watching the Ming army Ye Bu accept the weapons aimed at them, suddenly, many Mongolians looked at each other and began to communicate with their eyes.

Although the Jurchens didn't understand, they were not stupid. They obviously felt something was wrong and panicked a little. Just as they were about to order to retreat, a Mongol stabbed him in the back right behind him.

At the same time, a voice filled with hatred sounded: "Go to hell, I will avenge my family!"

Some people were startled, while others followed, swiping their knives and killing several Jurchens one after another.

Suddenly, they were stabbed by one of their own. Not many of them were prepared, and they were chopped to the ground in an instant.

The Jianlu leader looked unwilling and said with hatred: "You... you Horqin tribe..."

Before he finished speaking, he was beheaded by the impatient Mongols.

That's right, these people who did it were all Mongolians of the Horqin nationality.Moreover, most of these Mongols were starved to death by their families, or were suppressed by Jianlu.No matter how they died, they all attributed their tragic fate to Jianlu.

Originally, the seeds of hatred were planted, but there was no chance.At this time, under the constant confrontation with the Ming army, under the temptation of mutton, under the persuasion of the tribe, the hatred burst out, and they rebelled.

And those Mongolians with family members were dumbfounded when they saw this situation.

Although they have family members, they are all on the verge of starving to death.Therefore, for the scene just now, they didn't have a very firm will, so they didn't have time to stop it.When they reacted, the heads of those Jurchens were even chopped off.

The Ming army stared at Yebuye, the Jurchens were dead, and the people around them were unreliable. In this situation, they were at a loss.

The Ming army did not take over there at night, and they seemed to be very skilled in this situation, so someone shouted to this side: "What are you doing here? Come, come, come, come here, each person has two bowls of mutton soup, one piece of mutton bone, and two pieces of meat. Mutton. If you want to eat, drop your weapon and come here."

This speech is the native language of the Horqin nationality.I didn't say it before, I just asked their companions to say hello, not because they didn't want to say it, but to relax their vigilance.Now that the Jurchens have been killed, there is no need to talk about relaxing their vigilance.

Hearing the Ming army's cry of not accepting the night, the stomachs of these Mongolians responded again without disappointment.They looked at each other, and someone dropped their weapon first.

With a "bang", it landed on the ground, making a magical sound of metal collisions, which immediately attracted other Mongolians, who involuntarily dropped their weapons.

First, I walked slowly, and as I walked, the pace became faster.

At the beginning, they were a little scruples about the Ming army not taking away the weapons in their hands at night, but the smell of mutton became stronger and stronger, and their scruples became less and less. In the end, they ignored the fact that the mutton soup in the soup bowl was hot. , Immediately drank "snoring".It was so hot that their mouths hurt, but no one wanted to stop and wait.

After a while, except for the Manchus whose heads were missing, all the other Mongolians in this team of soldiers and horsemen were gathered in a circle, eating and drinking under the watchful eyes of the Ming army who stayed at night. .

Ming Junye didn't take over here, obviously experienced. When they first started eating and drinking, they didn't speak, just watched them talk.Because they know that speaking at this time, it is estimated that these Mongolians have one ear in and one ear out, and they will not hear anything at all.

Therefore, when these Mongolians drank a bowl of mutton soup, ate two pieces of mutton, and gnawed and gnawed on the mutton bones, the Ming army who spoke the Horqin dialect began to speak at night: "If it weren't for you Reinforce Jianlu, but Jianlu refuses to send troops to help you, you will not be defeated by me, Ming Dynasty, and you will not fall into the situation you are now..."

When they heard him speak, these Mongolians were soft-spoken at first and nodded politely. But after they understood what he said, they immediately felt the same. In fact, they thought so too.

Ming country is an enemy, and it is impossible to say that it was defeated by him.Jianlu is an ally, and his tribe's kindness in reinforcements, but the good intentions did not return the same rewards, but they were treated harshly by Jianlu. How many people were starved to death, and how many people were on the verge of starving to death?

"...Jianlu is a rabbit whose tail can't grow. As long as I, Daming, fight it seriously, I will definitely destroy Jianlu. Do you believe it? If nothing else, Jianlu will starve to death!"

The reaction to the word "hungry" was the strongest. Upon hearing this, the Mongolians nodded quickly.

"I, Emperor Ming, is merciful and doesn't want to watch you exterminate your clan. Therefore, I have a decree. As long as you can kill Jianlu to show your determination, you will be allowed to surrender and I will give you food. Of course, if any of you If it is inconvenient to surrender, we will not force it, and we can go back. But we must tell your other clansmen the will of my Emperor Ming. This will also give them a way to survive, and they don’t have to die with Jianlu! If you bring Jianlu Head, if you bring your family to join you, that’s fine too, at least we, Daming, can guarantee that you won’t be hungry anymore..."

Of course, this mutton is not that delicious. The Ming army launched a powerful psychological offensive. With the help of mutton, the effect is generally very good.

Seeing the Ming army abandoning their well-equipped troops at night, looking at the pot of mutton with not much left, and recalling the happiness of eating mutton just now, who would still be willing to feel confrontational?

After a ideological education, there was a small Mongolian family, and the Ming army sent them back if they didn't take them back at night, leaving only the Mongolians with names.These people are generally those who have no family and no scruples.

Until this time, these Mongols understood why in the recent scout battle, the Qing side lost more than they won, and every time they lost a battle, the Jurchens in the scout team almost all died.

Although they understood this secret, none of them went back to report this secret, but only secretly told their best friends, or simply told no one.

Because they know that if they report, or if this matter gets out, the Jurchens will not trust them, the Mongols. Maybe, inside the Qing Dynasty, there will be another bloody rain of Jianlu suppressing their Mongols fishy.

Thus, in the scout battle between Gaizhou and Haizhou, such similar scout battles were repeated again.The Ming army's night does not collect is different from before. It has an extra weapon called food.This "weapon" was very effective against the Mongols, often allowing them to win scout battles without breaking a sweat.

Unknowingly, the main battlefield of the scout battle moved to Haizhou.

"Hahaha..." He Renlong was at the top of Gaizhou City, watching another group of people who stayed at night, bringing a few Mongolians back with the heads of Jianlu, and couldn't help laughing happily for a while. After that, he turned his head and said to Cao Bianjiao who was beside him, "I didn't expect that the emperor's trick is really useful!"

"That's for sure, when has the emperor's move not been used?" Cao Bianjiao said with emotion after hearing this, "Only the emperor can come up with such a move! Jianlu looks like a powerful cavalry army. It is estimated that when the war starts again, it will be the silver gun candle head!"

The ancients may be aware of similar methods, but they are definitely not as clear as Emperor Chongzhen for this kind of psychological offensive.This point, as long as it is a person who grew up under the red flag in later generations, it is actually very clear.

Don't be reluctant to part with the mutton. When it accumulates to a sufficient extent, the effect will be unpredictable.He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao were a little bit reluctant to part with the mutton from the beginning, but now they see the results of the battle every day, no matter how slow they are, they also know the impact of this mutton offensive on the cavalry on Jianlu's side.

To be honest, the only thing that Daming is more scrupulous about facing Jianlu now is Jianlu's cavalry.If even Jianlu's cavalry can be disintegrated, if it's just an infantry army, come, come, and ammunition will be enough!
Since the beginning of this year, Emperor Chongzhen has successively transported ammunition and firearms from the capital, and started to store them again, waiting for the war to come again.

In the last battle in Gaizhou, He Renlong and Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional about spending firearms and ammunition without spending money. They may not have much use for their martial arts from now on!

But at the same time, they also secretly rejoiced that they were not on the opposite side of the hail of bullets, otherwise, they really didn't know how to fight!

Thinking of this, He Renlong suddenly turned to look at Cao Bianjiao and asked: "Old Cao, when do you think the war will start again? My hands have been itchy for a long time!"

"I reckon, it should be soon!" Cao Bianjiao said uncertainly after hearing this, "We have more firearms and ammunition than when we attacked Gaizhou before, and the Governor Xingyuan has also moved to Changsheng Island. Maybe, It’s just a big counter-offensive, to completely recover Liaodong, right?”

Hearing this, He Renlong remembered his own doubts, and asked, "Why did the Governor come to Changsheng Island? If this is the case, what if the Jian prisoner escapes to North Korea?"
