I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"It's time to make a big noise. I want Jiannu to know how powerful the Dongjiang Army is, and I want them to weigh it carefully before sending troops next time!"

"Okay! The handsome said it well!"

The young Kong Youde was very excited and shouted loudly.

Over the past year, the Dongjiang army has won the unconditional trust of Zhu Youxiao in the court, the support of Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong, and Yuan Keli from Denglai across the sea to watch each other. It is not what it used to be.

After a year of dormancy, Phi Island is no longer that lonely island hanging overseas.

Over the past year, Mao Wenlong has used his prestige to continuously recruit exiled Liaoxi and Liaodong people, personally organize training, distribute weapons, and develop rapidly.

Today's Phi Island is guarded by a powerful army. They have a famous name-Dongjiang Army!

The current Dongjiang Army has brand-new swords, guns and armor from the Shandong Military Weapons Department, as well as powerful Suifa guns and Zhenlu guns, which can be described as a facelift.

Kong Youde was summoned to Phi Island this year, because of his bravery and daring to fight, Mao Wenlong chose him as a personal soldier under his tent.

Facing the high morale, Mao Wenlong was relieved, but he didn't speak. He looked at the detailed report in his hand, with a cold light in his eyes.

This is a secret report sent by Xizuo from the city of Hetuala, claiming that the soldiers and horses left by Jiannu in Hetuala city are only [-] Han soldiers and thousands of bannermen.

With such a scale, the Dongjiang army was caught by surprise and took advantage of the sky. In addition, the strong wind and sand in Liaodong at this time is not good for defending the city. You can give it a try!

Mao Wenlong had already expected that Nurhachi would pour out his country and attack Liaoshen.

It is estimated that the slave chief could have predicted that he would send troops, but it is impossible for the slave chief to imagine what the Dongjiang army has become with the help of the imperial court.

Originally, the Dongjiang army was only fighting guerrillas around Phi Island, at most it would send a lone army to go north to make trouble in the depths of the slave land.

But now, the scope of activities of the Dongjiang Army ranges from Phi Island in the south to Fushun in the north, and even the old village of Hetuala where the slaves were built, and spies have risked their lives to break into it.

When the Dongjiang army was besieging Shenyang in Nurhachi and fighting Mangui, they went to Yizhou to cooperate with the imperial envoys who came across the sea to threaten the city and force Jin Jingrui to send troops to assist.

When Nurhachi suddenly went south, intending to attack Liaoyang by surprise, Mao Wenlong swung his army forward and regained the [-]-mile territory of the Six Forts of Kuandian with a thunderous force.

What he has to do now is to attack Hetuala and force Nurhachi to return to the army, and the bigger the commotion, the more disturbing the slave chief's mind.

Once Nurhachi made a wrong decision because of this, it would be good for every battlefield.

What Mao Wenlong is worried about now is that the Dongjiang army, like Jiannu, is going all out in every battle, and can't afford to lose any battle at all.

Behind him is North Korea, and Phi Island is surrounded by the sea. Mao Wenlong is worried that if the secret report is not accurate, the Dongjiang Army will lose its vitality under the city of Hetuala.

I'm afraid that in the future, they will no longer be able to restrain Jiannu from sending troops.

Moreover, the large amount of supplies, food and salaries that the court has transported to Dongjiang for three years, as well as the trust of Emperor Tianqi in the court, will all be burned.

Mao Wenlong remained silent, and made a surprise attack on Houjin's Hetuala village. Looking at it now, this decision was too earth-shattering.

If Mao Chenglu had realized something, he suddenly asked:

"Father, why don't we ask the imperial court for instructions before making a decision?"

Mao Wenlong glanced at him, shook his head and said:

"That's too late."

He knew in his heart that this battle had reached the critical moment for the survival of the whole Liao, the city of Dingliao had been lost, Liaoyang and Shenyang had no connection, and they were all isolated cities outside the Great Wall.

A day's delay may be another situation.

The wind and sand in Liaodong these days are too strong, and I am afraid that it will hinder the reinforcements of the imperial court, so that they will come down from Fuyuwei, but they have not arrived until today.

It seems that you can't wait for reinforcements, you have to plan for yourself!

Thinking of this, Mao Wenlong stood up and said decisively:

"Since Jinglue has no further orders, then the orders at this time are all up to me, Mao Wenlong. If things fail, I, Mao Wenlong, will also bear the responsibility!"

"Remember what I said, in case the surprise attack fails, from Mr. Jinglue to you generals and generals, there is nothing wrong with it. I am the only one to blame."

"Father handsome!"

"Master—!"

Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and other generals of the Dongjiang Army got up one after another, with unwilling expressions on their faces.

"If we lose the battle, we will be guilty of the same crime as the commander in chief!"

"It's difficult to bear, the commander is highly valued by the court, have you forgotten our brother's love for regaining Zhenjiang in the past!"

Mao Wenlong looked at the veteran who was speaking, and said loudly:

"I haven't forgotten, but someone must take the blame for defeat!"

"Master Jinglue is tied to Liao affairs. He has been impeached many times, so he has nothing to lose. You all have family members. Only I, Mao Wenlong, am alone and have nothing to worry about!"

Everyone was silent.

They all remembered that Mao Wenlong's family was slaughtered by the Houjin soldiers and horses led by Amin along with tens of thousands of people in Tieshan in the second year of Tianqi.

Chapter 366 It's Human

Brazier, heated Kang, the house is as warm as spring.

Mao Wenlong sat on the seat beside the heated Kang, wiped off his sweat, took the local map handed over by the servant, and said intently:

"The old walled city of Hetuala is well-defended. There are less than [-] Jurchen soldiers, but there are quite a few traitors."

"Yeah, it's not easy to fight."

Mao Chenglu walked in, sighed, and stood up and said:

"Father commander, what should we do with the Liao people who were captured by Jiannu in this village? There are more than 200 people. Should we send a small team to send them back to their hometowns?"

Now that the Dongjiang army had decided to sneak attack on the old village, all members went northward, and did not leave any defenders in the Six Forts of Kuandian.

In the manor they captured earlier today, there were more than [-] real slaves, hundreds of fake slaves, and more than [-] Liao people.

After the slave soldiers were wiped out with the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, these captive Liao people became a difficult point. This time they did not come to fight guerrillas.

Liaodong also counted on the Dongjiang Army to attract the attention of the old slaves, and could not reveal their whereabouts in advance.

In the past, Mao Chenglu would not have asked this question.

But today is different from the past, sending a small team to take these more than 200 people back, once Jiannu is alerted, it is likely to fall short.

Mao Wenlong was meditating, when he heard that Kong Youde came to report:

"Marshal, there is an old man who wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Mao Wenlong quickly saw the old man, and saw that he was going to salute him, so he quickly stepped forward to support him, and said in a broad voice:

"Old man, why do you need to do such a great gift?"

"Marshal, I came here at the behest of the folks. We can go to Phi Island by ourselves. The army goes north, don't worry about us."

"Death or life, it's up to the destiny."

"This……"

Mao Wenlong looked at the trembling old man, then walked outside the house, saw the Liao people whose eyes were full of hope, and couldn't bear it for a while.

Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde followed out and looked at each other.

"Ugh!"

Mao Wenlong sighed heavily, looked around at the Liao people, clasped his fists and said, "I, Mao Wenlong, am sorry to all of you, and I am ashamed of everyone's hope."

With tears in his eyes, the old man said:

"The commander-in-chief doesn't have to blame himself. This is the decision of all of us. We can't help the commander-in-chief recover Liao, nor can we slow down and interfere with the overall situation."

"Old Mr. Gao Yi——!"

Mao Chenglu couldn't help sighing: "Twenty miles to the west is Wuyun Mountain. There is a dense forest ten miles to the south of the mountain. The slave cavalry team will not go deep."

"When we get to the Six Forts of Kuandian, there will be no more slaves."

The old man took more than [-] Liao people to bid farewell to the Dongjiang Army, supported each other, and went to Wuyun Mountain that Mao Chenglu had just mentioned.

Kong Youde clenched his fists and said:

"Looking at the sallow and thin faces of these people, I'm afraid they have been tortured a lot under the hands of the slave soldiers. When we hit the old village, we will kill them vigorously!"

Mao Wenlong looked at the backs of the Liao people, thoughtfully, and asked with his hands behind his back:

"Tell me, how did the slave soldiers manage to defeat the strong with the weak in the battle of Abdaligang, and defeated the famous Liu Dadao in our army."

The battle of Abu Daligang actually took place in the Battle of Sarhu. Liu Ting was the last famous general in the late Ming Dynasty. He was called "Liu Dadao" by the Ming army because he was good at wielding a big sword.

In that battle, Juniper rushed forward and was defeated by Nurhachi's light cavalry. Then the slave soldiers under Nurhachi, dressed in Ming army armor, approached in the thick fog and raided Abdaligang.

Liu Ting was injured by a sneak attack, and still commanded the Ming army to counterattack with firearms, severely defeating the slave cavalry. However, the weather at that time was unfavorable for firing matchlock shotguns, and he died in a fierce battle.

"The most important thing is to use tricks!"

Kong Youde was still thinking, but Mao Chenglu said directly:

"They defeated Jun Song's troops first, stripped off their armor, pretended to be our Ming army, approached Liu Dadao's troops, and made a surprise attack!"

When it comes to this battle, Mao Wenlong has no regrets.

Mao Chenglu was able to see so thoroughly, which also surprised Mao Wenlong. He glanced over there, nodded and said:

"Although the old village of fake gold is solid, it is man-made."

He paced slowly, holding his saber in one hand, and said:

"If you want to attack the old village, you have to use your tactics."

"Our army continued to go north, collecting Han army uniforms and flags along the way, and when we arrived in Laozhai, we also dressed up as Han soldiers and treated them in the same way as others."

Kong Youde was only in his early 20s this year, and Mao Wenlong chose him as his servant because of his bravery in battle.

Mao Chenglu laughed loudly:

"Father commander is brilliant, I believe that none of the slave soldiers will think that our army will wear the armor of the Han army and attack their old village by surprise!"

Mao Wenlong nodded, still worried in his heart, and said lightly:

"It's best to win the old village in this battle. Even if you can't win it, it will make him fall apart!"

……

Hetuala.

Nurhachi's five founding ministers in the past are now only two. In this expedition, he took away the shrewd Hu Erhan to follow the expedition, and left the most stable He Yili to lead the Zhenghuang Banner Jurchen soldiers to stay in the old village.

He Heli was originally the leader of the Dong'e tribe, one of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and later led his people to join Nurhachi in the early days of the army and acted as a vanguard.

After the Jurchens were unified and the state was established, Nurhachi rewarded He Yili as his wife to his daughter and recruited him as his son-in-law.

After the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, He Heli was called one of the "Five Ministers" of the founding of the country by Nurhaci. He was entrusted with important political tasks.

Right now, He Yili was sitting in the hall of King Khan's Court, receiving an important guest. He never expected that at this time, a Ming army of more than [-] men was marching here day and night.

While thinking about it, a Zhenghuang Banner Jurchen soldier ran over, knelt on the ground and said:

"My lord, Auba is back."

Hearing this, He Yili smiled lightly, showing disdain.

Auba, the leader of the five allied armies of Horqin, and the eternal in-law of the Dajin Aixinjueluo family, was beaten to death in Fuyuwei, and only led hundreds of Qingqi back to Horqin in embarrassment.

In Horqin, Ouba was overthrown by his younger brother Budazi and led by twelve lords of Horqin. He ran back to Hetuala like a bereaved dog, praying that he could send troops to help him regain the power of the Horqin tribe.

After ordering people to bring Auba to the lobby, He Yili still hosted a banquet in honor of Daikin's defeated friend.During the dinner, there was not much mention of Fuyuwei's battle.

After all, Auba is still the well-known lord of the Horqin tribe, so why did he save enough face for him, and after taking a bath and changing clothes, he grandly received him on behalf of Nurhachi.

Auba has followed his father in grazing and hunting on the grassland since he was a child. He is strong and strong, with broad arms and round waist.But now, after several tosses, he has lost the vigor and vigor he had when he was in command of the five coalition forces not long ago.

After the host and guest were seated, He Yili looked at Auba's clothes and said with a smile:

"Looking at your appearance, you were kicked out in the middle of the night, right?"

Auba looked around in embarrassment.

At this time, He Yili smiled and said:

"The patriarch can rest assured. I have already retreated from everyone. The only ones talking here are you and me. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."
