I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Huang Taiji looked at a Jurchen woman, and said with a smile: "This Ding Bi spends all day drinking and having fun, and doesn't repair military equipment. He didn't even know that you were my Dajin's secret agent until his death, right?"

The woman shook her head, with extreme disgust for that person in her eyes, knelt on the ground and said:

"He doesn't know that the servants are looking forward to the night market day by day, and they are waiting for Dajin to send troops to kill these Ming dogs."

"You did a good job. You have endured humiliation for many years in Liaodong, and this time it is your credit." Huang Taiji laughed loudly, helped the girl up, and said:

"This Ding Bi is really a lustful drunk, he deserves to be defeated by Ben Khan!"

"Mr. Fan, what should we do next?" Huang Taiji sighed with worry on his face:

"I heard that Cao Wenzhao, the commander-in-chief of the Six Forts in Kuandian, is a famous general of the Ming Dynasty and Xiong Tingbi's right-hand man. He and his younger brother Cao Bianjiao are both brave and resourceful, and difficult to deal with."

On the one hand, Fan Wencheng felt a little vanity that Huang Taiji was the first to ask him, and on the other hand, he thought carefully, saying:

"The Six Forts of Kuandian are not monolithic. The guards of Xindian Fort and Changdian Fort, Chai Rong and Li Xijue, will not listen to Cao Wenzhao's orders, because they are both old generals of the Li family just like this Ding Bi! "

"The old general of the Li family is still in charge of the army?" Huang Taiji laughed again when he heard the words, "Mr. Fan, this is God helping me!"

"These old generals of the Li family have made great achievements on their own, and they have not been armed for a long time. I, Da Jin, will start with Chai Rong and Li Xijue's Xindian and Changdian cities first. The six castles of Kuandian can be broken!"

When mentioning the veteran generals of the Li family with outstanding meritorious service, what Huang Taiji aroused was not fear, but deep contempt, because this group of people, since Li Chengliang, has become a mess that cannot be supported.

When Li Rusong was there, he was still able to restrain them, but after Li Rusong died of illness in the second year of Tianqi, the current Li Ruzhen's civil and military strategies are not very good.

The management of the Li family's old generals is also a freeing, which leads to these people actually becoming the king of the mountain in one city and one place.

When the imperial court issued orders, they often listened to the orders and did not listen to the announcements. They behaved like self-sufficient martial arts. Once a war broke out, they would all abandon the city and flee in a hurry to save their lives.

To deal with the Liao army of Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, Huang Taiji still needs to be cautious, but when he heard that the old general of the Li family was guarding the city, everyone in Houjin laughed.

During the Wanli Dynasty, the ministers of Donglin in the Ming Dynasty actually thought that the appointment of Li Shijiu would scare them, and they don't know what they thought.

Chapter 731 Frustrated

Just as he was talking, there was a loud noise outside the door.

Huang Taiji touched his brows, "Who is it?"

Leng Sengji, the commander of the first-class bodyguards, took a person with him, threw it on the ground, and said respectfully, "Khan, this is the Niulu Zhangjing Sonomu with the yellow flag!"

"He raped and murdered the people in the city with his soldiers, causing people to panic, and everyone scolded us Dajin!"

Sonomu seemed a little indifferent, he stood up and said:

"Great Khan, enter the city to loot for three days. This is the rule set by Destiny Khan. It's fine if the Khan doesn't allow us to destroy the city, and even this is not allowed?"

"Those Han people, whose lives are not as good as pigs and dogs, need to win them over?"

"As long as Da Khan gives an order, the army will move forward, and it will not take a few days to flatten the six fortresses of Kuandian and eight hundred miles of clear land!"

"I think it's superfluous to win over the Han people!"

Huang Taiji didn't speak for a while, this order was indeed given by him, and it was also to win over the hearts of the Han people so that he could use it for himself.

In his heart, Huang Taiji also looked down on the Han people.

But he knew that if Dajin wanted to grow, it would not be enough to rely on the Jurchens alone. There were many Han people with a large base, and there were also many traitors.

If all these traitors can be used for themselves, it will be a great force!

It’s fine that the offenders were ordinary people this time, but Suo Nuomu, Niu Luzhangjing with the yellow flag inlaid, members of the Aohan tribe, his absolute confidants!

Huang Taiji's face was ugly, but he didn't say anything.

Killed, Xianghuangqi's strength was damaged, and one of his confidantes was missing.

But if you don't kill them, it's like slapping yourself in the face. Not only the Jurchens won't take it seriously, but even the traitors won't believe it.

Ning Wan and I waited for the opportunity, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Khan, let me tell you the truth. Right now, Dajin and Ming have just started a war, and it is time to employ people."

"Sonomu lost his morals after drinking for a while, and I asked the Great Khan to recite his meritorious deeds to avoid this crime!"

When one person came forward, the rest also joined in.

"Yes, profusely, forget it!"

"Suo Nuomu has a straight temper. Those Han women must have seduced him. We Jurchens are honest warriors!"

After a while of effort, Huang Taiji still made up his mind, he raised his eyes and said:

"Han women seduce him? Do you know that those Han women all regard chastity as more important than their lives, and it's clear that Sonomu can't control the thing under him!"

"Sonomu, Ben Khan's order, haven't you seen it?"

"You are not allowed to burn, kill and loot in the city. Why do you want to do it again? If you don't kill you, how can you ask Ben Khan to convince the crowd?"

"How can a Han named Liaodong believe in the sincerity of my heart?"

Sonomu was taken aback when he heard the words, but he was not afraid, but laughed loudly, "What, Da Khan wants to kill me because of a few Han women?"

"Hahaha, well said!"

"Khan, you can kill me, but I don't accept it. Even if I get to the bottom, I have to shout a few more words, and the Han people should be killed!"

"This will never change!"

Huang Taiji frowned, waved and said:

"Take it down, cut it off!"

Suo Nuomu was taken down, and he didn't make a sound when his neck was attached to his body. Huang Taiji looked at the head on the ground, with mixed emotions in his heart, and deliberately said coldly:

"Bring it to the city and show it to every Han Chinese in every household."

"Let them see that Dajin is different from the previous one. Under Dajin's rule, they can live and work in peace and contentment better than the decaying Ming Dynasty!"

Leng Sengji nodded, "Hey!"

Huang Taiji was well prepared, leaving behind a Jurchen Niulu and three Han Army Banner Niulu, and then continued eastward, offering sacrifices to heaven again.

……

Xindian Fort was built in the early years of Wanli. The perimeter of the city wall is 300 meters, and the watchtower is [-] meters.

However, the soldiers of the Houjin Eight Banners are all over the plain west of Xindian, in an endless stream, with no end in sight, and the banners are also surging like a tide, rushing straight towards them like a hurricane.

Chai Rong, the guard general of the Ming army, was holding the city wall with one hand, his eyes were as big as copper bells.

He retreated a few steps hastily, was supported by his servants, but he shook his hands and broke free, and subconsciously said: "Head the order, defend the city, and swear to defend the city to the death!"

After all, he stumbled down to the city.

Xindianbao has only one south gate, surrounded by rivers on both sides, and the west side is full of soldiers and horses of Houjin. It was originally a fortified city that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, no one expected that this veteran who had made great contributions with Li Chengliang had long since lost his bravery in the past, and had become greedy for life and afraid of death, and loved power.

Chai Rong rode out alone from the south gate and fled desperately.

In the eyes of the Ming army defending the city, the morale of the army suddenly became cold, and when looking at the Hou Jin army who was crossing the moat to attack and kill, they scattered even more.

Huang Taiji was almost bloodless, and made another victory.

But he is still not very happy, so far, he still has not met the Liao army under Xiong Tingbi's command.

The Liaodong New Army, which is said to have cost the Ming Dynasty tens of millions of taels of military expenditure every year, was the one that defeated the Liaodong Army of the Eight Banners led by his father Khan Nurhachi.

After Nurhachi's defeat in Liaoyang, he was depressed all day long, committed gangrene again, and was so frightened by Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang.

This is the eternal pain in Huang Taiji's heart, and it is also the reason why he pays so much attention to the strategy of dealing with people's hearts.

After capturing Xindianbao, Huang Taiji was still the same, issued a notice, left behind three Niulu Han army flags, and then crossed the river to the east without stopping.

The Hou Jin army flew towards the Six Forts of Kuandian like a tidal wave, connecting heaven and earth one after another, and the sound of killing was still clearly audible several miles away.

Within three days, the two forts had fallen, and the next one was Changdian Fort.

But here, a small fort that Huang Taiji thought could be captured in an instant turned into a turning point in the entire Kuandian battle.

Chai Rong, the guard of Xindianbao, fled here. Unexpectedly, within a day, the Jin army came after him, and he wanted to flee again.

As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Li Xijue, the guard of Changdian Fort, holding a knife and saying:

"Brother Chai, are you going to flee east again?"

At this moment, Chai Rong became a frightened bird, and nodded quickly, not seeing the murderous look in Li Xijue's eyes at all, so he nodded quickly:

"Flee quickly, it will be difficult to leave when the Tartars are killed."

Li Xijue shook his head, "I really feel sorry for Li Shuai!"

The Li Shuai in the words is naturally not Li Ruzhen, the current general soldier of Liaodong, but Li Chengliang, who once killed all the Jurchen tribes.

Before Chai Rong understood what was going on, he saw that the knife was on his neck, and he immediately took offense, saying angrily: "Li Xijue, you want to die, don't stop me!"

"Do you think this was when Li Chengliang was alive?"

"Take your knife away from me, who do you think you are!"

Li Xijue looked at Chai Rong who was frightened into such a state, and sneered: "I am ashamed to be with you, Changdian Fort defenders listen!"

"Repair the armament and fight the Tartars!"

"General Cao, big and small, in Kuandian Fort, will definitely not give up on us. If we hold back the Jiannu army for a moment longer, the loss of the people in Liaodong will be reduced by a few households!"

"Your Majesty is watching us from behind, the whole of Daming is watching us!"

"Daming will not be defeated by the Tartars twice. We are men, and we must be bloody if we are men. I, Li Xijue, swear to survive and die together in Changdianbao!"

After saying that, as soon as he exerted force on his hands, his head slipped to the ground.

Li Xijue held up Chai Rong's still bleeding head, and said loudly: "Anyone who dares to speak out and retreat will be the same! Cut it off!"

Chapter 732 The Great Victory of Xindian

After all, Chai Rong was also a general who guarded the Six Forts of Kuandian. Even if he feared the enemy and avoided fighting, he couldn't just be killed like this.

What's more, the Li Xijue who killed him was also good at killing Shangguan. He was just a guerrilla general, and his rank was no higher than that of Chai Rong.

Some of the civil servants around were stunned and didn't know what to say for a while, but the Li family's army guarding Xindian Fort all had their morale boosted.

"Send someone to persuade you to surrender!"

Huang Taiji was on the horse, looking at the only quadrangular building on Xindian Castle.

His thinking was completely different from those reckless Eight Banners generals around him.

Huang Taiji knew that the biggest enemy was not the Li family army, but the Liaodong new army under Xiong Tingbi. Before seeing the main force of the Ming army, Da Jin could not lose too much.

Therefore, if you can play one less game, you will play one less game.

To show his sincerity, Leng Sengji, the commander of the first-class guards, sent a Ba Yala guard in white armor to persuade him to surrender, and he also understood what Huang Taiji was thinking.

Unexpectedly, before the white-armored soldier rode a few steps closer to the city gate, Li Xijue at the head of the city took a quick-fire blunderbuss from his back and pulled the trigger at him.

"boom--!"

"what!"

With a loud bang, the white armored soldier fell to the ground.

At a distance of more than a hundred steps, the guards of Ba Yala, who were surrounded by three layers of heavy armor, also fell on this blunderbuss, which made the faces of the Eight Banners generals behind them all look ashen.

No one expected that in just two years, the firearms of the Ming army had improved so much!

That is the bravest and most well-equipped Ba Yala guard of Da Jin at the moment, and one person can easily kill five existences of the Ming army.

Huang Taiji naturally knew how difficult it was to cultivate such a brave and skilled "white armored soldier" as the Ming army said.

Before he had time to react, Li Xijue at the top of the city laughed loudly:

"I want to persuade you, Grandpa Li, to surrender me, in the next life! Tatars, even if you are tigers now, you will have to break a few teeth in Xindianbao!"

"Brothers, fire at me and beat them hard!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the firearms of the Ming army at the head of the city began to fire.

Lead bullets and projectiles were fired from hundreds of guns and more than a dozen cannons, roaring towards them. The Eight Banners soldiers in the formation uttered several shouts and fell off their horses one after another.

Then came the next round.

This round of firearm attacks was more violent. Gathering around the Huanglong umbrella facing Huang Taiji, more Eight Banners soldiers fell off their horses and scrambled and crawled away.

"The firearms of the Ming army..." Huang Taiji also felt a little strange.
