I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Ding Bi's unstoppable salty pig's hand, in his heart, such a happy life, he is as happy as an emperor!

However, he didn't know that since Zhu Youxiao became the emperor, there was never a day when he was truly happy and carefree.

Not long after, there was a rush of shouts from outside the tent:

"I have something urgent to report to General Ding. If you want to stop me again, I will force my way!"

The servants outside the tent did not retreat an inch, and shouted: "How dare you be so presumptuous! Is it possible for you to see a dignified general?"

"Go away, or Lao Tzu's knife will not recognize people!"

Chapter 729 The Fall of Dadian Fort

The third day of April in the sixth year of Tianqi.

The noon sun swayed on the black land of Liaodong. After three years, the golden soldiers came out again and attacked south like a swarm of bees.

Just a few days ago, Horqin, Dongtumot, Yanzha and other Mobei tribes all received the edict of Huang Taiji and sent their troops south.

More than [-] Mongolian coalition forces moved southward, and the frontier defense was exhausted.

As a last resort, Xiong Tingbi had no choice but to order Xue Laiyin, the commander-in-chief of Fengji, to lead the [-] Liao army assembled on the Fushun-Fengji line to the north.

Sensing that the time had come, Huang Taiji immediately led the 16-odd people from the Mongolian, Han, and Jurchen Eight Banners, who had assembled long ago, and marched southward, pretending to be a [-]-strong army.

Dust was flying, people were walking and horses were neighing, and the Eight Banners cavalry of the brigade was rolling towards the Six Forts of Kuandian.

The Baya La soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner are Huang Taiji's Khan tent guards. Everyone wears three layers of heavy armor around their bodies, and they all ride tall horses of the same color.

The Yellow Dragon Banner fluttered in the wind, and the rest of the Houjin Banners were colorful and brilliant like clouds. Under a huge yellow umbrella, Huang Taiji was riding majestically on a horse.

Behind him, followed by a large number of confidantes.

Leng Sengji, the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, Tong Tulai, Gushan Ezhen of the Han Army Zhenglan Banner, Fan Wencheng, Sony, Ning Wanwo and others.

Further back, there are guard cavalry in yellow jackets.

This is another personal guard unit directly under the Great Khan established by Huang Taiji after he succeeded to the throne. It has the same meaning as Zhu Youxiao's Yongwei Battalion. The armor and weapons used are different from the general Eight Banners.

Surprisingly, this time, there was one more arm in the Later Jin Army-artillery.

Since Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he has paid special attention to firearms, arrested a large number of Han craftsmen, and used various means to force them to work for Houjin.

A craftsman surnamed Zhang who once made Hongyi cannons was the head of the household, and Huang Taiji got the method of making Hongyi cannons.

Based on this, a red-clothed artillery team with ten Hongyi cannons and dozens of various artillery pieces was formed.

With this artillery team, Huang Taiji believed that he would be hopeless and disadvantaged.

That's why he was full of confidence this time. He had seen the power of firearms to conquer cities and conquer lands when he fought with Nurhachi back then.

This time, it was my turn to use it.

It is nearly a hundred miles away from Hetuala to the Six Forts of Kuandian. Hearing that the commander-in-chief of Kuandian is Cao Wenzhao, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji dare not be careless in the slightest.

Since the Hou Jin army left Hetuala three days ago, it has been marching non-stop for three days.

This journey coincided with the arrival of the summer heat, and the few days when Huang Taiji had just left for the expedition was cool, so most of the people wore an extra coat under the armor to prevent the sudden turn of the cold.

Who would have thought that on the second day after the expedition, the sun would hang overhead all day long.

The red sun is scorching hot, the heat is unbearable, and the physical strength of Hou Jinjun is very high. They are already sweating and exhausted!

Huang Taiji has been tall and burly since he was a child, and he is a round bigger than the Han people of the same age.

After inheriting the position of Khan, his arms became wider and his waist was rounder. He looked like a big mountain with thick calluses on his fists.

After putting on the heavy armor and marching for a few days, Huang Taiji was no longer majestic.

Right now, even the most elite cavalrymen of the Eight Banners can only travel twenty or thirty miles a day while conserving some energy of their horses.

The Six Forts of Kuandian was an important military town set up in the southeast of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. It was set up by Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in his early years.

Later, Li Chengliang was old and dizzy, and demolished all the six forts in Kuandian.

When Xiong Tingbi regained Liaodong, he ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead the Ming army to build a city and build a fort, moved people to Kenbian, and built this important town again.

Leading the army and walking for a few more miles, the turret at the head of Dadianbao finally appeared in front of my eyes.

Everyone was in high spirits immediately, and Huang Taiji also forcibly pulled out his tiger-headed sword: "The whole army will attack Dadian Fort immediately, and we will repair it in the city tonight!"

With an order, the cavalrymen of the Eight Banners screamed.

For a moment, the horseshoe shook the ground, and the sound of shouting and killing shocked the sky, and countless Houjin troops rushed forward like a tide.

……

Since the reconstruction of Dadian Fort, there has never been a smoke-free police. The general stationed here is the old general of the Li family in the past, and now Li Ruzhen's general, Ding Bi.

In the Wanli year of Ding Bi, his father was a guerrilla general, and he followed Li Rusong into the court to support him and fought against Japan, with some meritorious service.

But after that, he took credit for his pride and indulged in drinking and sex all day long, rarely sober.

Huang Taiji led the Hou Jin army to rush from Hetuala for three days, and when they arrived at the city of Dadian, the guard Ding Bishang couldn't get drunk.

The servant rushed into the big tent and forcibly dragged him onto the horse.

However, the city was in chaos at this moment, and a hundred thousand golden soldiers entered the city like a flood. Ding Bi was so shocked that his soul flew out of the sky, and he turned and left without any fighting intention.

Azig led the cavalry in pursuit, raised his knife and dropped it, Ding Bi's head fell to the ground, and he died without any pain.

Afterwards, the Hou Jin army and the participating defenders fought fiercely in the city. The [-] Ming army was outnumbered and all died in battle.

Dadian Fort fell, and the other five forts heard the police, and each began to take strict precautions.

Cao Wenzhao took advantage of the fact that the Houjin army had not besieged the city, and reported the news of Houjin's sudden attack to Liaoyang.

When the news reached Liaoyang, it was already a day after the fall of Dadianbao.

Xiong Tingbi has always been calm and capable, but his face turned ugly when he heard the words. He immediately declared martial law in Liaodong, and summoned generals and generals to discuss raising their accounts.

However, the morale of the Liao army is high right now. Although the first pass was defeated, no one thinks that they will lose this time.

Zuo Liangyu, the battalion officer of the car camp, is a young general who has made many meritorious deeds and gained fame recently. He said:

"Jianlu always likes to attack suddenly when he fights."

"It's okay to lose the first few battles. What matters is how our army responds to the counterattack of the Mobei tribes!"

"Mobei and Jianlu attack at the same time, it should be a plan for many years!"

Xiong Tingbi was not in a hurry either. The Liaodong front line was too long, and there was no way to defend against it. He had built slaves and raised them for many years. If there was a sudden attack, he would definitely capture some towns at first, which he expected.

In his mind, he already had a countermeasure.

Xiong Tingbi looked coldly to one side and asked:

"Ding Bi, the guard of Dadian Fort, is the old general of Li Zongbing. He feared the war and avoided fleeing, humiliating the country. Doesn't Li Zongbing have anything to say?"

The person who was asked was naturally Li Ruzhen, Liaodong General Soldier, the third son of Li Chengliang.

During the Wanli period, the Liaodong Ming army suffered repeated defeats. After Li Rusong was dismissed, he still relied heavily on the remaining prestige of the Li family in Liaodong.

Later, Li Rubai and Li Rumei, who took over as the generals of Liaodong, each suffered a series of defeats and were impeached by the six departments of speech officials, so they were dismissed.

Finally, Li Ruzhen was revived and Li's old generals were summoned.

When Liaodong was just recovered in the fourth year of Apocalypse, Li's status in Liaodong was still very high. His old generals held military power and were stationed in one place all year round, scattered all over Ning, Jinzhou and Jinzhou.

Even Xiong Tingbi had to slowly shed his wings, not daring to touch Li Shi lightly.

Up to now, Xue Laiyin, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Mao Wenlong and other court upstarts are famous successively, and Xiong Tingbi has secretly planned to eradicate the Li family.

The eradication of the Li family will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the old generals of the Li family and cause turmoil in Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi painstakingly planned, but before he could do anything, Jiannu attacked first.

Chapter 7 Thirty Liaodong Li Group

"Ding Bi?"

Li Ruzhen muttered, he was familiar with this name.

He could also guess what Xiong Tingbi meant by saying this, so he decided to reply as calmly as possible. After all, the other party is the Liaodong Economic Strategy, so he still has to give him some face.

"I know him, he will definitely not be the kind of person who fears war and runs away!" Li Ruzhen looked up indifferently, "When I was still young, Ding Bi had followed his father to fight and made many military exploits."

"This time something like this happened, there must be something hidden."

Xiong Tingbi chuckled, and retorted:

"Ding Bi drank all day long and didn't care about the military equipment. As a result, the morale of Dadian Castle was weakened, and he was attacked by Jiannu. The evidence is solid, and you still want to quibble?"

"Then I dare to ask, is it true that in the future, if you, the old general of the Li family, make mistakes, you will have to rely on the achievements you have made?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I don't know how many people have made meritorious deeds by rectifying the guards. If they are all like you Li from Liaodong, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"Xiong Tingbi!" Li Ruzhen stood up abruptly, stared at him closely and said, "I'll give you face by calling you out. Liaodong can do without you, Xiong Manzi, but not without me, Mrs. Li!"

"The reason why Jiannu dare not come to commit crimes right now is because of my remaining prestige from the Li family!"

"It's ridiculous..." Xiong Tingbi looked at the man who was still living in the past with pity, "The current situation in Liaodong is all due to the hard work of our Liao army soldiers to repel Jiannu and defend the country!"

"As for Erli's group of old generals, they are domineering all day long, relying on their meritorious arrogance, and defiant. If there is no trouble, the Governor is already thankful!"

"Li Ruzhen, the governor wants to ask you, where do you have the face to dare to say such words in front of me, Xiong Tingbi?"

Ever since the governor of Liaodong was dismissed by Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, and Li Ruzhen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, have been very gunpowder, but they have never reached this point.

Right now, both of them are staring at each other closely, and it seems that they can fight at any time.

Seeing this, everyone quickly acted as a peacemaker.

"Forget it!"

"At this time, we can't make trouble on our own!"

"Taiwan, Li Zongbing, Wanwang takes care of the overall situation..."

After all, the general situation of building slaves is coming, and it is not the time for these two to be at odds. Whether it is Xiong Tingbi's Liao army or Li Ruzhen's Li family army, they are the main forces that the imperial court relies heavily on to guard Liaodong.

At this time, internal fighting broke out, and the great situation in Liaodong was all in vain.

Xiong Tingbi had a violent temper, but he understood the truth, took the overall situation into consideration, glanced again, then turned and walked back.

After all, Ding Bi, the guard of Dadian Castle, has committed a thousand crimes, and now he has died in the city, and it is meaningless to continue to struggle with punishment.

Li Ruzhen also snorted coldly, and sat down angrily.

Xiong Tingbi stood on the general case, with Shang Fang's sword hanging behind him, looked around at the generals and said: "Now that Jiannu is coming to attack, Mobei Mongolia is also sending troops southward, approaching the border."

"The six fortresses in Kuandian are short of troops, so we need to send troops to rescue Cao Wenzhao."

As he spoke, he looked to one side and said:

"Mr. Li is so relying on his own Li family army. This time he went north to attack Mobei Mongolia. This governor thinks you are doing your part?"

Li Ruzhen didn't commit any cowardice, she clasped her fists and said with a sneer:

"Don't be afraid, governor. My Li family army will definitely defeat Mobei Mongolia directly, and then come south to help you resist Jiannu!"

Hearing these provocative words, Xiong Tingbi just looked at him for a while, but didn't say any more tit-for-tat words.

"Then the governor is waiting for Li Zongbing's reinforcements?"

"That's natural! The person Jiannu fears the most is me, the Li family of Liaodong!" After Li Ruzhen finished speaking, he got up and left without saving the former.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen old generals of the Li family also followed out.

Looking at their backs, Xiong Tingbi clenched his fists secretly.

……

After taking Dadianbao, it was surprising that the Later Jin army did not continue the previous policy of destroying the city and leaving. Instead, they stationed in the city.

Not only that, Huang Taiji also intends to occupy this place for a long time. After continuing to march, there will be one Niulu Jurchen Eight Banners and three Niulu Han Eight Banners left behind.

Not only because of its geographical location, but also because of the current Houjin, which needs to expand its territory. The former Nurhachi policy is no longer applicable.

If you want to attract more Han people to Houjin to contribute, you have to work hard on these.

After entering the city, under Fan Wencheng's suggestion, Huang Taiji ordered to set up a list to calm the people, and strictly ordered the Hou Jin army not to carry out the killing and looting after entering the city in the past.

"The six forts of Kuandian are placed here alone, and it is not difficult to defeat them, but the arrangement of the six forts is very good. Li Chengliang's thoughts are far away!"

"Being able to win Dadian Castle so smoothly is firstly the reason for my decision-making in Dajin, and secondly, thanks to the mediocrity of Mingjiang who stayed behind."
