Chapter 199 Those who obey me will prosper (Part 2)
As expected, Cao Yu's troops arrived at Hetuala in the morning of the next day and stopped on the other side of the river in the west of the city to set up camp. As expected, the Sukesu River was still frozen at this time, the ice surface was very thick, and the river itself was not frozen.
It constitutes a serious obstacle to the advance, and the great thing is that the "road surface is slippery".
Of course, both Cao Yu and Nurhaci knew that setting up camp here did not mean they would launch an siege in this direction. Cao Yu stayed here just to wait for Yang Yuan to arrive. After the three armies successfully joined forces in Hetuala, the Ming army
The deployment will definitely be adjusted - most likely the offensive will be launched in the south and east of the city.
Cao Yu had just inspected the temporary camps and carefully arranged various arrangements to prepare for a sneak attack. He was very satisfied with his choice to camp in Hexi first, because although Hexi was inconvenient to directly attack the city, Nurhaci could not easily cross it either.
Binghe comes for a sneak attack.
This is easy to understand: firstly, the glacier is "slippery", and although it can be crossed, it is difficult to cross it quickly; secondly, there are no obstacles on the glacier, and the view is extremely clear, even at night, so
This position can basically eliminate the possibility of being attacked by sneak attacks.
After Cao Yu finished these things, he called Qi Jin, and sent someone to notify Ma Chengxun to come to discuss military affairs. This action was a bit redundant, because Ma Chengxun had already arrived when the people he sent had just left the camp.
"Hahahaha, Ma Shenrong is really impatient." Cao Yan was quite polite to Ma Chengxun. Although he was a Shangguan, he would not go out to greet Ma Chengxun, but he also walked outside the commander's tent to greet him.
Ma Chengxun knew what Cao Yun's move meant, not because he, Ma Chengxun, was a junior in the army, but because he, Ma Chengxun, represented General Xuanda, and General Xuanda was Gao Situ in the army.
The most die-hard group of cronies.
The person Cao Yu respected was not him, but Gao Situ, the man behind him.
People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot. When Ma Chengxun saw Cao Yu coming out to greet him, he quickly knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Ma Chengxun will be the commander of the general army."
Cao Yu wanted to stop him, but he was too far away and had time to help him up. After helping him up, Cao Yu looked at him and asked with a smile: "You can wear armor so soon? How is the injury? The smell of medicine on him is not light.
.”
Ma Chengxun laughed and said: "The military doctor said that the bidder was very lucky and did not hurt the vital parts. It's just that he can't use his left hand temporarily. As for this medicine, General Rong should also know that it was presented to him by the Liu family.
Nong’s golden sore medicine is now divided into Wanying Baibao Dan and Wanying Baibao Powder.
The bidder passed out at that time, and his subordinates immediately stuffed an all-purpose elixir into his mouth and gave it to him with drinks. Not to mention, this thing is really powerful, not to mention the flesh and bones of the living dead, but a pill
As long as the Baibao Dan goes down, any injuries such as blood loss or death will be fine."
That's natural. The main ingredient of Yunnan Baiyao is Panax notoginseng. Li Shizhen also said in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that this medicine "stops bleeding, disperses blood and relieves pain. It can be used to treat wounds caused by golden-edged arrows, stick sores from falls, and bleeding that does not stop."
If it's rotten or mixed with water, the bleeding will stop."
Although the folk prescription that Liu Xian got by chance in the southwest may not be exactly the same as the Yunnan Baiyao of later generations, it is also a medicine for golden sores based on Panax notoginseng. After this medicine was dedicated to Gao Pragmatic, the Department of Medicine of Jinghua Artisan School has passed it through in recent years.
Numerous improvements have been made in practice, and now it is basically similar to Yunnan Baiyao, so there must be no big problem.
In later generations, Yunnan Baiyao became famous both at home and abroad. Earlier, the public only knew that it was "made from several precious medicinal materials". It has the effects of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, activating blood circulation and relieving pain, detoxifying and reducing swelling. It is mainly used clinically to treat bruises, gunshot wounds and knife wounds.
Injuries, sores, swelling and pain, stomach pain and dysmenorrhea, etc.
Anyone who has used this medicine in the early years must have noticed that when you open the bottle cap of Yunnan Baiyao, you will find a red particle the size of a Po Chai Pill "lying" on it. That is called an "Insurance Pill", and the people directly give it
A common name: life-saving pill.
Although this insurance pill is small, it may actually be more valuable than the medicinal powder inside. This insurance pill is for emergency use. Because the medicinal properties are relatively strong, it is generally only used for serious bruises or internal injuries and bleeding. Moreover, this insurance pill can and
You can only take one pill orally, and the method of taking it is quite strict: it is best to take it with rice wine.
In Gao Pragmatic's previous life, his father worked as a demolition soldier in the northwest frontier, and had the experience of saving a life with Yunnan Baiyao Insurance Pills, so that whenever the drug was mentioned later, he could not help but act as a free salesman of the drug in front of his son.
, so Gao Pragmatic was extremely impressed.
For this reason, when it was later exposed on the Internet that the medicinal ingredients contained in the formula of Yunnan Baiyao were announced abroad, Gao Pragmatic was very concerned about it. Among them, the most impressive ones were Artemisia annua and Cao Wu.
Modern medical clinical research believes that Artemisia vulgaris is warm in nature, bitter and pungent in taste. It is highly toxic. It can dispel wind and dampness, reduce inflammation and analgesia. It is used for rheumatic bone pain, swelling and pain from falls and toothache, etc., with significant curative effect.
It is also clearly pointed out that most of them are for external use and should be taken internally with caution and under the guidance or supervision of a physician.
This product was officially included in the "Drug Standards of Yunnan Province" in 1974, and in the "Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China" in 1977. Because of its severe toxicity, the therapeutic dose is similar to the toxic dose, it is listed as a national special management drug.
Aconite also contains aconitine, which is a highly toxic substance. Once used improperly, it can easily cause poisoning.
However, although Gao Qingshi is a medical layman, he also knows that talking about toxicity without dosage is a hooliganism. Moreover, Chinese medicine is quite special. Different combinations of medicinal materials and different production processes will completely alienate the final medicinal properties or toxicity.
The same is true for Yunnan Baiyao. The reason why that insurance pill is extremely effective but cannot be taken too much is actually the balance between controlling the toxicity and taking the medicinal properties.
Ma Chengxun came forward to speak out and told Cao Yun: "After I woke up, I only felt numbness in my shoulder socket, but I didn't feel any pain. I could even move and there was no blood. I felt fine after three days. If the military doctor hadn't told me, I would have even thought about it."
Try your hand at shooting a bow."
Cao Yan had actually seen many wounded people and was very familiar with the efficacy of Wanying Baobao Dan. Hearing this, he just laughed and said: "That won't work. Although this medicine is analgesic and can stop bleeding, but your...
The injury is still there. You must rest when you need to, otherwise the wound will still open if you exert force."
After Cao Yu finished speaking, Qi Jin also showed concern, and the three of them entered the tent talking and laughing.
After sitting down, Cao Yu said: "Ma Shenrong, you came here a day early, have you noticed anything strange in Hetuala?"
"I was about to talk to the commander-in-chief." Ma Chengxun said sternly: "Nurhachi seems to have done nothing, but Shuerhaqi has. He quietly sent someone to see him."
Cao Yu also straightened up his face when he heard this, and asked attentively: "Oh? What does he want to see you for?"
"Shulhaqi said that Nurhachi was suspicious of him, and he is quite passive in the city now." Ma Chengxun's right hand was intact, he took out a sketch from his arms, and with the help of Qi Jin, he showed it in front of Cao Yun
He spread it out on the commander's desk and said: "This map is the defense map of Hetuala City. It was sent by Shuerhaqi."
Cao Yu glanced at it, shook his head and said: "The picture may be true, but this defense map is not very useful."
This seems strange to say. The enemy's defense map should be a very important military secret anyway, so how could it be of little use? However, both Ma Chengxun and Qi Jin understood the intention of Cao Yu's words.
In the current situation, all the opponent's troops are in the city, and because of the glacier, it is impossible for the west and north sides of Hetuala to be used as the launching point for the siege - the artillery battalion cannot be placed on the glacier to fire, because the artillery is all over the city.
The shock force when shooting was too strong, even stronger than thousands of cavalry galloping past. God knows whether it would collapse the ice surface.
In this way, Nurhachi only needs to leave a very small number of troops in the west and north for "battlefield surveillance" to ensure that the Ming army does not have a sudden "attack". Most of the remaining troops must be in the east.
, South City Gate.
Cao Yu can basically guess the number of troops Nurhachi currently has. It is only about 7,000. Seven thousand people can only be placed at the two southeastern gates. No matter what the ratio is, Cao Yu will not be able to deal with it.
There are too many changes because they are not needed. In this case, what is the point of the defense map?
To put it bluntly, if Cao Yu decides which city gate he will use as the main attack direction, Nurhachi must direct more troops in that direction - that's what it means to have the initiative on the battlefield.
But Ma Chengxun's behavior was rather strange. He smiled and said, "That's not the case. Mr. General, just draw a line on this picture and you will know the meaning of this picture."
Cao Yu was really surprised, raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? Okay, then you draw."
Ma Chengxun took out a Jinghua charcoal pencil commonly used by military scouts, drew a circle on the south side of the city of Hetuala, and at the same time said slowly: "The soldiers led by Shuerhaqi,
They are all in this circle, about three thousand in total."
Cao Yu and Qi Jin stared at the map at the same time. Not long after, Qi Jin said "Huh", frowned at Ma Chengxun, and asked: "Shurhaqi's troops are all in this area, and the surrounding areas are all
They are Nurhachi's soldiers... What's the matter, do they want a brother to fight against the enemy to help them?"
It happened that Cao Yu also noticed it at this time, frowned and said: "It is a good thing that their brothers are fighting against each other, but if it happens now, I feel that it does not meet the expectations of Da Sinong."
If Gao Pragmatic were serious about this, he would definitely appreciate Cao Yan's overall view, because he really did not want to see Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi brothers turning against each other at this moment.
In the original history, Shuerhaqi and his brother Nurhaci depended on each other since childhood. When they grew up, they lived and died with their brother and became his brother's assistant and main general on the battlefield. In the battle to unify the Jurchen tribe, Shuerhaqi
With his bravery and resourcefulness, he became the second-largest figure after his elder brother, and even stood on equal footing with his elder brother on many occasions. Whether it was the chief's visit or the North Korean envoy's visit, the two brothers were congratulated at the same time and sat down separately.
Just like Baylor, the two cities east and west of Yehe.
The story of the falling out between the two brothers has been mentioned in the previous article, so I won’t go into details here. What Gao Pragmatic is more concerned about is what happened after Nurhaci imprisoned and killed Shuerhaqi, and what can be deduced from these events.
Nurhaci first imprisoned Shuerhaqi, and then beheaded his two nephews. Later, he wanted to kill his brother's second son Amin, but was stopped by others. Although Nurhaci killed countless people during decades of fighting on the battlefield,
But then he also relented.
In order to make his nephews surrender to him wholeheartedly, Nurhachi still shed tears and killed his younger brother two years later. But he never expected that with this sword blow, he would bury two Aixinjueluo clan for three hundred years.
of hatred.
The descendants of his younger brother Shuerhaqi have always remembered the hatred of that time. Amin, who once survived at the hands of his uncle, even though he later became the second in the top four Baylors, he still cannot forget the hatred.
Hatred could not allow him to work with his uncle's descendants. Even if he did not fight with each other, he would have to establish another family. Therefore, after Amin led the army to defeat North Korea, he once wanted to occupy North Korea, live here for a long time, and establish himself as king. Unfortunately, he
His father also failed and was eventually assassinated by his cousin Huang Taiji.
However, Shuerhaqi's son did not withdraw from the political arena, because he still held one of the Eight Banners in his hands. After Amin's death, his sixth brother Jierharang replaced his elder brother and entered the political arena.
Jierhalang was very self-aware and knew that he was no match for Huang Taiji, so he kept suppressing his hatred. However, after Huang Taiji died, Dorgon suppressed Jierhalang again, so that he never dared to reveal anything.
It was not until Dorgon's death that Jierhalang's hatred broke out. He accused Dorgon of being domineering and arrogant, which eventually led to Dorgon being whipped to death.
Although Jierhalang was named Prince Heshuo Zheng and was the only person in the history of the Qing Dynasty, besides Dorgon, to be titled "Uncle King", he never forgot the hatred of his father's murder.
Later, after the death of Prince Zheng Jierharang, his descendants were named Prince Jian. The reasoning of the Tatar and Qing court at that time was that Prince Zheng was given the title because of his outstanding military exploits, and his descendants did not have such great merit.
Even if he was given the title, he still couldn't withstand the title, so he was replaced by Prince Jane.
It was not until the Qianlong Dynasty that Prince Zheng's title was restored and he was listed as one of the eight hereditary and irreplaceable princes. However, his descendants have always kept in mind the hatred for their ancestors, so they still wanted to serve the Qing court.
They contribute because they believe that they are not working for their enemies, but for the world of Manchu people.
After the Xinyou coup, Prince Gong Yi? and Cixi ordered the death of Prince Zheng Duanhua, and beheaded his brother Sushun. It can be said that old hatreds were added to new hatreds.
The final result is even more bizarre: Shuerhaqi's descendants don't know what they think. They will worship Chongzhen Mausoleum during the Qingming Festival after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but they have never had any contact with Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It seems that they have no contact with the emperor.
It is no longer relevant to be Aixinjueluo.
Gao pragmatic reversed these situations and believed that the root of the problem lay with Shuerhaqi himself - he probably sincerely believed that Ming Dynasty's support for him at that time was from the heart, so he believed that he was the legitimate Jurchen Jianzhou
"Baylor" should replace Nurhachi.
When Shuerhaqi was strong, his sons were influenced by him. When he "rebelled", his sons Amin and Jierhalang were already adults and had already formed their own three views - they must have believed that the Ming tendency was their father.
The Ming Dynasty is the orthodox one, and the Jurchens regard the Ming Dynasty as the main one. Since my father has the trust of the Ming Dynasty, he should naturally be the one who obeys and prospers. You, Nurhachi, go against the will of heaven, and you are really a slave who betrays your master!
