Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although it is only October, the weather in Liaodong can already be described as freezing cold. For some unknown reason, winter in Liaodong has come very early and left very late since last year.  Although there are fine snowflakes floating in the sky and the temperature is very low, the Ming army camp is in full swing.  The soldiers were constantly busy, building camps and digging trenches. They were all busy.  There was a rich aroma floating in the air. This smell was familiar to the soldiers. It was the meat boiling in the cauldron.  Lamb, pork, and all kinds of meat are cooked in one pot.  For soldiers in the past, such food was unimaginable, but now the food in military camps has begun to get much better.  Although the meat cooked in the big pot has little spice, there is always plenty of salt.  For soldiers, a big piece of meat and a jar of strong wine is the best life.  "You bitches, hurry up, I want to eat meat. If you are slow and I don't have any meat to eat, you guys will wait for me!" A general held a request in his hand.  The swordsman who saw him shouted loudly to the soldiers who were digging trenches. Although his tone was stern, there was a smile on his face.  The soldiers didn't seem to regard this as a military order, and laughed loudly. Some even said loudly: "Don't worry, General, we are determined to eat this meat!" I don't know when there was such a rule in the military camp.  The good ones, those who work quickly, get meat to eat, and the bad ones don't even get to drink the soup.  Whether it is ordinary training or daily operations, the entire army follows this policy.  Although it was just for the sake of eating meat at first, the more meat you eat, the less precious it becomes.  But things about face are not so easy to talk about. Watching others eat meat, you don't even have to drink the soup, and you can't show anyone's face.  Especially those generals who led the army, their own people lost.  It's really shameless.  Since that time, the entire military camp, both generals and soldiers, have been fighting bravely to be the first. This trend has been established for some time.  There were scenes like this everywhere in the camp, but they never imagined that Sun Chengzong¡¯s handsome tent would be the first tent to be set up.  Everything is ready here.  There were not many people in the big tent, there were only three people, one of them was Sun Chengzong, the other was Xiong Tingbi, and the rest was a personal guard who was waiting.  He made the brazier in the tent more prosperous and burned a pot of hot water for the two adults. The guards respectfully withdrew.  After the guards left, two groups of people came outside, one of which was the Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms.  Another group was dressed in the clothes of the palace servants.  The Jinyiwei leader was Liu Chengzhi, a Jinyiwei Qianhu, who replaced the Baihu who originally protected Sun Chengzong, and also gathered intelligence for the army.  Needless to say, the leader of the chamberlain was Chen Hong, the eunuch of the Liaodong army. However, the status of this eunuch of the army was too high, and he did not dare to be provoked by anyone.  The four people sat down separately, and Sun Chengzong said with a serious face: "Everyone, after several days of marching, we have arrived at Tieling City. I have invited you here today. It is also to discuss with you." "Sun Dare, when leading the troops to fight.  How many times have we talked about your matter! We don¡¯t understand how to fight, so you don¡¯t have to call us every time!" Chen Hong said with a smile as he looked at Sun Chengzong.  Although what Chen Hong said was just and righteous.  But no one takes his words seriously. If you don't invite him, it will be trouble.  "Eunuch Chen's words are wrong. The emperor asked Eunuch Chen to come to Liaodong to serve as military supervisor, but he trusted him very much. Eunuch Chen should know this. How dare I hide it?" Sun Chengzong also had a smile on his face, but when he spoke,  You're not welcome.  Chen Hong raised his hands to Sun Chengzong and said nothing. For Chen Hong, Sun Chengzong was someone he could not afford to offend.  His power comes from Emperor Tianqi, and the family members of Sun Chengzong, the emperor's master, are beyond his comparison.  Xiong Tingbi and Liu Chengzhi sat there, as if they had not heard the conversation between the two people. They were not Sun Chengzong, and they were in great awe of Chen Hong, the eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies.  Turning his gaze to Xiong Tingbi aside, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "Fei Bai, I remember you asked me last time, why didn't you attack Fushun and go directly to Hetuala?" He nodded slowly, Xiong Tingbi really thought so.  Yes, but he knew that Sun Chengzong must have a deep meaning in attacking Tieling, but he didn't know it.  Chen Hong on the other side also sat up straight, waiting for Sun Chengzong's answer. This was also a question he was thinking about.  After all, directly attacking Jiannu's lair sounds more exciting than attacking Tieling.  "I attacked Tieling because this was mentioned in the emperor's secret decree. This can be said to be the emperor's intention. However, the emperor did not insist on his words. I also decided to attack Tieling first." Sun Chengzong breathed a sigh of relief and said a  The reason no one thought of.    On one side, Xiong Tingbi frowned slightly. He didn't know why Emperor Tianqi had such a secret decree, let alone why Sun Chengzong agreed with Emperor Tianqi's strategy.  After pondering for a moment, Xiong Tingbi frowned and said: "Taking Tieling and Kaiyuan first can stop the collusion between the Jiannu and the Tatars, and at the same time, it can also communicate with Ye He and other Mongolian tribes who are opposed to the domestic slaves. This is also true for the lower officials.  Can you imagine that this has other meanings? " Looking at Xiong Tingbi with admiration, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "As expected of Fei Bai, I can draw inferences from one instance, but I can think of another reason!" "Please enlighten me!"  His attitude was very respectful. In fact, he had always treated Sun Chengzong as a disciple.  Waving his hand, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say whether to teach or not. Since the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming Dynasty has always adopted a defensive attitude towards domestic slaves and Tatars. This time to recover Tieling and Kaiyuan, the emperor wants to tell  People, the Ming Dynasty swept away the decline of the Battle of Saarhu. I always thought that the Battle of Saarhu was a humiliating battle for the Ming Dynasty. This time we are fighting for revenge!" Sun Chengzong's face was serious, with a tone of voice.  Excited, with the same blush on his face, he was a little excited at this time.  He looked outside with bright eyes and his body was trembling.  Xiong Tingbi on the side suddenly understood, with unprecedented perseverance on his face, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will pass your plan to all the soldiers during dinner, and strive to win Tieling in one go tomorrow!  " Sun Chengzong nodded slowly, and said to Liu Chengzhi, the Jinyi Guard Qianhu on the side: "Liu Qianhu, do you have anything to say? " "My lord, I have some information about the battle in Tieling City!  , Liu Chengzhi is not qualified to speak, but intelligence is his expertise.  Sun Chengzong was naturally very clear about the importance of the information and said quickly: "Liu Qianhu, please speak!" "Yes, sir! The person who built the slaves to guard Tieling and Kaiyuan was Nurhaci's third son Abai. This Abai is not famous.  Compared with the other sons of Nurhaci, he is not good at charging into battle. However, according to Jin Yiwei's intelligence, Abai is highly regarded by Nurhachi because he is good at planning logistics and the main city, and Abai is proficient in Ming culture.  A difficult character to deal with!" Liu Chengzhi said the information about Aixinjueluo Abai without expression.  He nodded with a slight frown. Sun Chengzong never thought that he could easily capture Tieling and Kaiyuan. After all, the geographical location here was too important, and it was impossible for Jiannu not to send elite soldiers to take charge.  Nodding, Sun Chengzong said: "What about the soldiers and horses in the city?" "Sir, there are about ten thousand defenders in Chengli. Most of them are elite infantrymen who established slaves and were specially trained by Abai.  Although the time is short, the combat power is also extraordinary. After being reinforced by Abai, it can be said that Tieling City is very strong!" After Liu Chengzhi finished speaking, he just sat quietly and waited for Sun Chengzong to make a decision.  Sun Chengzong was relieved when he heard that there were only 10,000 defenders in the city. Although Tieling City was not big, at least 20,000 troops were needed to defend it.  Now there are only 10,000 troops, which is useless among the elite. After all, this is to defend the city and not to fight in the field.  However, Sun Chengzong would naturally not be careless, and he would definitely be cautious.  "Send the order, recharge your batteries today, and tomorrow morning, we will take Tieling City!" Sun Chengzong had a confident smile on his face. He believed that Jiannu would suffer a big loss this time.  The Ming army was ready, but Tieling was not. At this time, Nurhachi's third son Abai was standing on the top of the city.  Holding the crenellations of the city wall with both hands, Abai's mouth was filled with a bitter taste. What on earth was going on?  Father Khan led the army into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army could only take care of itself. How could it still have the strength to raid Tieling?  Looking at the flags outside, this is Sun Chengzong's troops from Liaodong. Maybe it was Sun Chengzong who led the troops.  Looking at the number of people, there were seventy or eighty thousand people.  No matter what he looked at, Abai had a feeling of despair. Although he was better at defending the city among the brothers, he didn't think he could defend Tieling against the Ming army who was very good at attacking the city.  The Ming army has too many people and is well-equipped. I'm afraid it will suffer disaster this time!  Although Abai couldn't understand why the Ming army was able to come to Tieling City, there was no need to think about it anymore.  Looking back at the soldiers around him, Abai said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Fushun and Hetuala to deliver the message, and another person to Kaiyuan. Call all the generals in the city, Ben Beile is going to hold a meeting." "Yes,  Lord Beile!" The soldier did not dare to delay at all, turned around and left quickly.  Abai has been standing on the top of the city, his brows furrowed tightly, thinking about what other omissions there are in the city.  After a long time, Abai turned around and slowly walked down the city. When he returned to his residence, the first thing Abai did was to write a letter.  This letter is written toMy father, Khan Nurhachi, must let him know about the situation in Tieling no matter what.  (To be continued)
