Chapter 185 There is always something going on in Liaodong (Part 2)
The determination was made, and in Nurhachi's style, of course, he just started doing it. Various preparations were immediately taken into action, including gathering food and grass. However, in addition to his own preparations, Nurhachi learned a lesson this time and sent people to Liaoyang separately.
He and Guang Ning made a report on the war they were about to launch.
Liaoyang is the residence of the governor of Liaodong, and the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang is also stationed in this city, while Guangning is the residence of the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
Due to the previous victory in the Battle of South Liaoning, the Ming Dynasty took back the Liaohe River Hetao area that was originally occupied by speculation. Therefore, the defense zones of the Liaodong General Army and Deputy General Army are now pushed northward from Dongchang Fort in the past, along the Liaohe River
It is divided into two parts, east and west.
Relatively speaking, due to geographical reasons, the vast majority of the Liaohe Hetao area, which was the victory in the Battle of Southern Liaoning, has been transferred to western Liaoning, which has become Li Chengliang's defense area.
Li Song, the governor of Liaodong, had launched a campaign for this not long ago and believed that a border wall should be built along the line between Zhenjingbao in western Liaoning and Pinglubao in Liaodong to protect the entire Liaohe River Hetao.
Zhu Yijun was quite interested in this idea and summoned Liang Menglong to the Wenhua Palace to question him. Liang Menglong himself agreed with this idea, but he emphasized the current financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty and reminded the emperor that he should first ask Gao Pragmatic.
Zhu Yijun said that he definitely needed to ask, but there was a lot of noise now about the Ministry of Household's tightening of financial power, so he planned to ask after this period of time.
Judging from the current actual situation in Liaodong, it is natural for Nurhachi to send troops to use force against the Dong'e tribe of his own Jianzhou Left Guard, and to report to Liaodong Governor Li Song, but to report to Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Li Chengliang but not to Liaoyang Deputy Commander-in-Chief Cao Yu, which is a bit strange.
It's weird - after all, Cao Yun is now fully responsible for the defense east of the Liaohe River.
Of course Nurhaci is not confused, on the contrary, he is extremely sober. Gao Pragmatic means that his disciple Cao Yu obviously has a repressive attitude towards him. Although Li Song and Li Chengliang cannot see a clear attitude, "not seeing a clear attitude" is a problem in itself.
Kind of ambiguous.
According to Nurhachi's understanding, as long as he showed his sincerity, Li Futai and Ning Yuanbo would most likely side with him. Therefore, Nurhachi spent a lot of money, prepared generous gifts for Li Song and Li Chengliang, and went to "report"
went.
Next, Nurhaci turned his attention to Wengguo Luocheng of Dong'e tribe.
An episode happened to occur at this time: a man named "Sun Zha Qin Guanggun" who was born in the Wanyan tribe of Jianzhou was one of the small leaders of the tribe.
During the battle, he was captured by the Wengguoluo soldiers. After being captured, he was humiliated by the Wengguoluo tribe, but he luckily escaped.
He heard that Nurhachi had failed to use troops against the Dong'e tribe last time and returned without success, so he had been secretly thinking about opportunities. This time Nurhaci wanted to raise troops again, so he immediately came from the Wanyan tribe to see him.
Sun Zha Qin Guanggun said to Nurhachi: "The lord of Wengguo Luocheng is my enemy. I ask Beile to lend me an army to help me capture Wengguo Luocheng to relieve my hatred."
Nurhachi thought, the last time I sent troops was unlucky and failed to capture the city of Qijida. This time I sent troops to seize the enemy first. The city of Qijida is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we can leave it later. If we can capture the city of Wengguo first, not only can we
By weakening Dong E's effective strength, he can also avenge Sun Zha and Qin Guanggun, and become an ally with Wanyan tribe, killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it.
Therefore, Nurhachi readily agreed to Sun Zha Qin Guanggun's request.
Sun Zha Qin Guanggun had a nephew named Daidu Mergen. He had a close relationship with the city lord of Wengguo Luocheng. When he learned that Sun Zha Qin Guanggun was looking for Nurhachi, he guessed that his uncle must
He wanted to borrow troops to avenge himself. So he sent people to Wengguo Luocheng to inform the city lord of the possible situation and let him prepare in advance.
The Lord of Wengguoluo City was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly sent out spies to find out Nurhachi's movements, and assembled his troops to defend the city.
Nurhaci led his troops to Wengguoluo City. Seeing that the city gates were tightly closed and the city was well-defended and in order, he could not find a breakthrough for the city. So he ordered to continue the fire attack strategy and used archers to fire a large number of rockets into the city.
Burning the city tower and village shops.
Nurhachi said in his heart: "This strategy was already effective when I attacked Qijida City, but God did not bless me and forced me to withdraw my troops. If I use this method to attack Wengguo Luocheng today, God will never go against me again!"
When Nurhaci saw thick smoke rising from several places in the city and fire on the city tower, he seemed to have seen the hope of victory. Looking at the charging soldiers, he couldn't help but jump off his horse and walk towards the outside of the city.
He walked to a cottage. He personally found a ladder, climbed up to the roof, used the chimney as a cover, bent his bow and shot an arrow into the city.
At this moment, Nurhachi is still in his thirties, and he is at the peak of his bravery. He has almost forgotten his identity as Baylor and is just a warrior.
However, Nurhaci's attire was quickly noticed by a guard in the city. The guard concluded that this man was definitely not an ordinary soldier, but a general.
The guard general's name was Orgoni, and he was an expert archer. He wielded a hard bow and could pierce through poplars with a hundred steps. He fought bravely and steadily. He used the battlements as cover, fully drew the bow and shot a powerful arrow at the target.
Nurhaci was caught off guard and was shot in the head. The arrow penetrated his helmet and pierced his scalp nearly a finger deep. Nurhaci said "ah" and instinctively reached out to hold the arrow shaft and pulled out the arrow with all his strength. I don't know if it was right or not.
With the blessing of anger, he endured the pain and shot towards the city again with this arrow.
However, the arrow did not hit Orgoni, but a small leader next to him. Nurhaci sneered, then took out the arrow and shot again. By this time, his own blood was already flowing down from his head.
When it reached his feet, the wild boar skin was really brave at this time. He didn't bother to care about it at all, and fired arrows in succession to kill several soldiers of the opponent.
Wengguoluo City may be rich in sharpshooters. There was a young general named Luo Ke on the city tower who was also a good shooter. He saw a general on the rooftop opposite who only used a chimney as a cover. He shot and killed several soldiers on the city in succession.
Hate. He hid aside and observed calmly, catching the moment when Nurhaci stretched out his head to look left and right after shooting an arrow, and suddenly shot an arrow.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This arrow was more powerful than Orgoni's arrow. It penetrated the collar of the chain armor and hit the lower left side of Nurhachi's neck, only more than an inch away from the middle of the throat.
Far.
Nurhaci followed suit and reached out to pull out the arrow again. However, this arrow was different from the previous one. There were barbs on the arrow like hooks. The pulled arrow not only had bright red blood, but also a small piece of torn...
Meat.
Fu Yi, who was commanding the soldiers to fire arrows into the city under the house, saw the scene that just happened. He shouted out loud: "No, Da Beile (Da Beile is a relative term. At this time, Jianzhou's subordinates called Shuerhaqi
Erbeile was hit by an arrow!" He hurriedly called on several soldiers to run down the house, trying to climb up the ladder to help Nurhachi down.
Nurhaci was very sober at this time and knew that he could not let the enemy know that he was injured, especially not let them know that he was injured in such a vital part as the edge of the throat. He had to act as if nothing was wrong. So he waved his hand to prevent the soldiers from coming up: "Don't panic, don't make a mess.
, It doesn’t matter to me, let me go down slowly.”
Er Yidu was a general after all, and he knew what the chaos meant at this time, so he ordered all the archers to shoot arrows at the city to cover Nurhaci.
At this time, Nurhachi was bleeding from his head and neck, and his armor was almost dyed red, but he was still conscious. He covered the wound on his neck with one hand, and used the bow as a staff with the other to support his body, and slowly moved from
After walking off the roof, several soldiers immediately went up to help him. Not far away, Nurhachi suddenly lost strength in his legs and fell to the ground with a "bang". Everyone hurriedly lifted him up and moved him to a safe place.
This arrow almost sealed Nurhachi's throat, almost killing him on the spot. After being hit by the arrow, he fell into a coma for a long time, but his stubborn temper that refused to admit defeat supported his will to survive. He struggled to wake up and used
He stared at the subordinates around him with firm eyes, but soon fell into unconsciousness.
He woke up, fell into coma, woke up again, and fell into coma again. It went back and forth four times. The generals took turns waiting around Nurhachi. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the bleeding on Nurhachi's neck stopped.
Nurhaci returned to the earth from the god of death. After he woke up, he reached out for water. The soldier brought him a bowl of water. He opened his mouth and drank it all. When his subordinates saw this, their hearts were hanging.
After they put him down, everyone told Nurhachi that they had sent someone to notify Erbeile and that the old camp was safe and sound, so there was no need to worry.
Nurhaci nodded, but didn't say much. Although the wound on his neck was covered an inch thick, blood was still oozing out. Sun Zha Qin Guanggun felt very unhappy when he saw that Nurhachi was so seriously injured in revenge for him.
Tears flowed down his face. He knelt in front of Nurhachi and kept blaming himself: "You blame me! Dabeile, you must come through!"
Nurhaci glanced at him, waved his hand, and still said nothing.
The commander was injured, and the attack on the city was fruitless. Although there were several fires in the city, there was no chaos. It was impossible to capture the city of Wengguo. Nurhaci then ordered the withdrawal of the troops. The generals took advantage of the night and quietly evacuated with Nurhachi.
Wengguo fell into the city and once again left the territory of Dong E's tribe.
The attacks on Qijida and Wengguoluo failed one after another, which made Nurha, who had won more victories and lost less in the past few years, very unhappy. However, because he was injured, he had to focus on recuperating from his injuries.
During the month of recuperation, Nurhaci quietly reflected on himself: Our Jurchens are now divided into three parts (referring to Jianzhou, Haixi and Donghai), and each major part is divided into many small parts. Take Jianzhou for example.
As far as the prefecture is concerned, it is divided into seven small tribes: Sukesu Huhe tribe, Hunhe tribe, Wanyan tribe, Dong'e tribe, and Changbai Mountain Nayin tribe, Yalujiang tribe and Zhusheli tribe (Zhechen tribe has been destroyed, otherwise it should be
eight).
In each small tribe, the village leaders are not convinced by each other and work on their own. To unify so many large and small tribes, is the only way to conquer them by force? In the Suzi River (i.e. Sukesu River)
Within the ministry, I have conquered Tulum, Sekeji, Mardun, Sarhu and other fortified cities by force, but there are also two strongholds in Jiamuhu and Zhanhe who can voluntarily surrender and become my allies.
So, through appeasement, will other people submit? It should be possible. Since appeasement can also unify, I should not just think about fighting every time. I must adopt two methods of moral submission and military presence, that is, submission.
Those who are defeated by virtue will be conquered by virtue, and those who rebel will be attacked by soldiers - isn't this the case for Ming people? If they can do it, so can I!
Thinking of this, Nurhaci slowly calmed down.
It seems that the name "Wild Boar Skin" was not given for nothing. Nurhachi's arrow injury improved in only about a month. He was very tenacious and led his troops to raid Wengguo Luocheng again.
It is now the coldest time of the year in Liaodong. The north wind is strong, the mountains are high and the snow is thick. Most of the mountain people are at home and preparing to welcome the New Year. Wengguo City is also shrouded in the atmosphere of cat winter.
The soldiers and civilians in the city never expected that anyone would send troops to fight in such bad weather, especially since the news that Nurhaci had been seriously injured had spread, leaving them completely unprepared.
Nurhachi's soldiers suddenly pressed forward and launched an attack on the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city were in chaos. Nurhachi broke into the city without much effort. The two sharp archers who almost killed him - Orgoni and Roko
Both were captured.
When the two of them were brought to Nurhaci, the generals unanimously demanded that they be pushed out of the tent and beheaded in public to relieve their hatred. The two men also expected to die at this time, and looked at each other with expressions on their faces.
Decisive.
Unexpectedly, Nurhachi actually smiled and said to his subordinates: "The two armies were fighting with the determination to win, and the ultimate goal was to achieve final victory. At that time, we were attacking the city, and they were defending the city for their master. It was reasonable for them to shoot me with arrows. If possible,
It would be unreasonable to shoot but not shoot."
Then he paused and smiled again: "But if they are used by me, then won't their arrows shoot at my enemies? Brave and mighty people like them, even if they die in the battle between the two armies,
Before, people felt pity for them. Now that they are captured by me, how can I kill them just because they shot me in front of the battle?"
Orgoni and Luo Ke couldn't believe their ears. Is there really such a magnanimous person in the world? They looked at Nurhaci blankly, and saw that Nurhachi was smiling, with kindness in his eyes, and ordered his men to help the two of them.
Untied, the two realized that all this was true.
The two men were so excited to have escaped death that they both knelt on the ground and expressed their willingness to surrender. From now on, they would be driven as they were without any complaints.
After hearing this, Nurhachi laughed loudly and said: "Ever since I was lying on the fire bed to recover from my injuries, I have been looking forward to hearing what you said soon!" After saying that, he immediately announced: "From today on, Orgo
Ni and Luo Ke both served as Niulu Erzhen and served with the army."
In this battle, Nurhachi finally achieved his wish and captured the city of Wengguo, but he knew that in order to capture the city, he had spent too much financial resources and was temporarily unable to continue the conquest of Dong E's tribe.
But it's just right that in more than a month, we can see what the Ming army in Liaodong has to say about their actions.
Amid the joy of his subordinates, Nurhachi withdrew his troops unusually calmly and returned to the old village of Hetuala.
