Chapter 10 All for Living
"Build Dalinghe City? Come to attack the Later Jin?" Li Xin finally grabbed the light from the line, and his face suddenly changed and turned pale as paper. No wonder, he always felt that Dalinghe was so familiar. He had just heard the analysis of the two people, so he suddenly remembered this place. In history, in the past, or for Li Xin, in the near future, a great war will break out in Dalinghe City. The two sides fought by the Dalinghe River for several months. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be with Dalinghe City as the core, and the two sides fought for this strategic location, investing more than 100,000 troops. The Later Jin Emperor Taiji soldiers trapped Dalinghe City, causing countless casualties in Dalinghe City.
Later, he was even more fed by people. Outside the city, Huang Taiji defeated the Ming army that came to support Daling River several times with elite cavalry, and finally won the victory of the Daling River Battle. As the result of the victory, the Ming Dynasty completely fell into a defensive situation, and Jinzhou City was soon captured. If it weren't for Shanhaiguan, the capital might have been in danger. The most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanning Iron Cavalry, was almost completely lost. Although Wu Sangui later built a Guanning Iron Cavalry, it could not be compared with the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. However, the Iron Cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty had no strength to resist. If Huang Taiji had not died of illness soon after, the internal struggle of the Later Jin Dynasty was very strong, I was probably destroyed a few years ago.
All of this was not a big deal for Li Xin, but it was different now. He was a prisoner. If nothing unexpected happened, prisoners like them might be the main force in building Dalinghe City. If so, he would either be killed by the Qing army or in Dalinghe City, eaten by the soldiers under Zu Dashou. When he thought of this, Li Xin couldn't help but shudder, his whole body trembled, his face pale as paper, and his eyes were full of fear.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you? Doctor Xin, your son's illness is offended again." Gao Meng, who was on the side, noticed the changes in Li Xin's face and quickly said loudly.
"Don't talk. Don't shout." Li Xin finally waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Li Xin finally recovered, but the terror in his eyes was so eye-catching. Even Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi were very surprised.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, has the upper party agreed to build Dalinghe City?" Li Xin asked with a lucky heart.
"That's natural, that's the order of the old general Sun Chengzong, who doesn't follow it?" Zhang Yifu said proudly: "Thinking that since Sun governor Liaodong, he won a battle not long ago, and the Donggu escaped in a panic. If he didn't take advantage of this time to build Dalinghe City, what time would he have to wait? Even the court agreed and added Liao pay. Many merchants came here and were preparing to gain some benefits in the construction of Dalinghe City? I heard that this time it was supervised by the Grand Marshal Zu Dashou, and those local merchants in Liaodong might be lucky. Alas! In fact, if you increase so much Liao pay, it's better to use such a lot of money to build an iron cavalry, and maybe you've been fighting to Shenyang long ago. How could you continue to build Dalinghe City?" Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi in the surrounding area nodded rarely. But Li Xin didn't care about these.
"It's true." Li Xin wanted to retreat again. If he had known that Liaodong would be like this, he would not have stayed in Liaodong because Yang Xiong, Jiang Yi and others and went to Jinzhou. But Jinzhou is right in front of him. If he wants to escape, Zu Zerun, who wanted to kill him for a long time, would soon lead a brigade of cavalry to come. But in the same way, Liaodong is definitely not a place for long. He must leave here. At this time, personal bravery is nothing at all, and Li Xin cannot joke about his life. So he must leave here. Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but glance at Yang Xiong and the other two, Yang Xiong, Jiang Yi or Gao Meng. At least the three of them are with him for the time being. With these three people, more people will unite and win in the future battle.
"Captain Yang, have you really decided to stay here?" Li Xin thought for a while and asked in a low voice. However, a hint of nervousness appeared on his face. With him alone, he could not escape from Liaodong. One more person can only provide more guarantees. Moreover, Yang Xiong's martial arts are good and he is a good helper.
"That's natural." Yang Xiong nodded and said, "If I go back at this time, not to mention whether it's my turn to do this captain position, but always being a captain is obviously a waste of my martial arts. What's more, Liaodong is a place of war. Even if we can't be promoted here, if we kill one or two Donglu soldiers, we can get the money. I am willing to live such a life. I just don't know who should be cast into it?"
Li Xin nodded, and then looked at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was calm by nature. If this kind of person was put in the past, it would be a general's material. Unfortunately, in the Ming Dynasty, he could only be bullied by a minor official and was bullied by Shangguan all day long. At this time, can he still bow down for his future wealth? Or will he help himself because of Li Gu?
"I'm wherever my master is." Jiang Yi's eyes were dull, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart, but his words were powerful, which made people convince him.
"Yes, young master, we will be wherever you are." Gao Meng said quickly without being left behind.
"That's great." Li Xin nodded and said to Zhang Yifu: "Shopkeeper Zhang, if you believe Li Xin, then hand over the goods and leave this place. After this place, there will be a battlefield. If you are here, you will definitely die." Li Xin did not know if there was such a small person in history, nor did he know whether Zhang Yifu had caught up with this war, but he knew that if there was really such a war, Zhang Yifu might not be able to escape the war and be eaten by others.
"Young Master, can't build Dalinghe City?" Zhang Yifu said in disbelief: "As long as there are a large number of people and the current Dalinghe City still has a foundation, the city can be built in two or three months. At that time, we will put on red cannons, tiger cannons and other weapons, and be backed by Jinzhou, with sufficient food, grass and ammunition. As long as tens of thousands of people, it is enough to make Dalinghe City become a solid foundation. It is almost impossible for the Donglu to capture Dalinghe City. As long as Dalinghe City drags the Donglu army under the city, our Ming army can take the opportunity to calmly annihilate the Donglu army under the Dalinghe River." Zhang Yifu looked proud and didn't know where these words came from. Anyway, there is a market. Even Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi on one side nodded repeatedly, but they were willing to listen to Li Xin's orders, and finally their eyes fell on Li Xin.
"Haha, so good, so good." Li Xin nodded, but he would not make a decision for Zhang Yifu. Although Zhang Yifu took good care of himself along the way, he was not a person who sincerely thought about it. He thought for a moment and said, "The Donglu is no longer the Donglu that he was the one who was back then. I once heard that the Donglu also had red cannons in his hands. If he used red cannons to attack the city, how would my Ming Dynasty defend the city? If it were a field battle, then my Ming Dynasty
The army is not the opponent of the Donglu cavalry. Although Guanning Iron Cavalry is very strong, it is probably not the opponent of the Donglu! More importantly, although Mr. Sun is thinking about making achievements in Liaodong and working hard for the kingly affairs, the officials in the court probably did not think so! There has been no conclusion on Dalinghe City or the territory north of Jinzhou. The officials in the court have proposed more than once.
We must use Jinzhou as the boundary to station Jinzhou to resist the Donglu army. Therefore, it is unknown whether this Dalinghe City is built or not." Li Xin said it was not a lie. In history, there have been many times in the Ming Dynasty that there were many countermeasures for Liaodong, or for Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong, building cities and eroding Liaodong step by step. This speed is extremely slow, but it is the most guaranteed. Of course, this is also the domestic political environment is clear and the treasury is sufficient, and there is no
If there is any civil strife, of course, the most important thing is to make the enemy not good at attacking; and some people say that they occupy Jinzhou, defend the front line of Jinzhou, and give up the place north of Jinzhou. The two countermeasures have their own strengths and weaknesses. Of course, for Li Xin, both are wrong decisions. Attack is the best way to deal with the Later Jin Dynasty. Who made the current method of attacking cities not under the Ming army at all! Defending Jinzhou is simply a wrong decision.
"Young Master said that Jinzhou cannot defend, or Dalinghe City cannot resist the attack of the Donglu?" Zhang Yifu hesitated.
"You'd better sell the goods and return to the Central Plains as soon as possible." Li Xin finally stopped talking. It was already very good to be able to say so much to Zhang Yifu. Instead, he would remind him like this when the other party helped him along the way. Otherwise, if you talk to him in a deep manner, this would obviously not conform to Li Xin's principles of being a human being. You should know that the so-called construction of the Daling River seemed to be just a matter of Liaodong, but in fact, the two forces in the court were constantly colliding. In Liaodong, Sun Chengzong, the old supervisor, obviously advocated the construction of the Daling River City, and then attacked the city of Shenyang step by step. This ideal is certainly good, but the reality is different. How could the army of the Later Jin Dynasty allow the Ming army to erode him step by step? Then Huang Taiji is a rare wise ruler, how could he let such things continue?
"I really want to go back?" Zhang Yifu was a little reluctant. Here, he had to buy more fur and more ginseng, and then transport it to the Central Plains to make a high profit. If he left at this moment, it would obviously not be in line with Zhang Yifu's business practice.
"Hmph! Since my young master asked you to leave here, you must leave here. Could it be that the Donglu will still be able to capture you? Or you are the Donglu's spy, thinking about joining the Donglu?" Yang Xiong said dissatisfied.
"Bah! I am a Han family in the Central Plains, how could I be a slave to the Donglu? My body, hair and skin are taught by my parents, how could I go and surrender to the Donglu?" Zhang Yifu glared at Yang Xiong dissatisfiedly when he heard this, but he bowed to Li Xin, and then ordered people to drive the carriage forward.
"That's a man." Li Xin nodded. The withdrawal of the Later Jin Dynasty was a national policy. After the Later Jin Dynasty entered the pass, the first order from his subordinates was to withdraw. I don't know how many Han men fought back because of this.
"Young Master, is what you said true?" Yang Xiong asked nervously. He was originally from the Ming Dynasty. Although he was dissatisfied with the treacherous ministers in the court, he still had feelings for the Ming Dynasty.
"I think the young master is not wrong. My Ming Dynasty looks vast, but how are you like these years? There are many treacherous ministers in the court, and none of them are willing to do things for the people. They only know how to plunder the people's wealth and ointment. The royal princes all occupy land and do not know that there are a few people displaced. But the gentlemen in the court are still trapped in internal struggles. Just say that the matter outside the pass is to constantly build cities or retreat to Jinzhou, there is never a fixed amount. Hehe, according to my opinion, the Liao salary of millions of taels of silver is better than to build a surprise soldier. But it is used to build a city. Will the Donglu make you feel at ease to build the city? It's such a stupid person."
"Then what should we do now?" Yang Xiong glanced at Jiang Yi dissatisfiedly, but was dissatisfied with Jiang Yi's appearance in front of Li Xin and said, "Even if we can leave now, the young master can't leave. What should we do?"
"I don't know, we will do whatever the young master told me." Jiang Yi opened his mouth and finally lowered his head and said.
"Yes, yes, we will do whatever we say. Even if we go back to the Central Plains now, I, Gao Meng, will follow you." Gao Meng said indifferently. He did not expect that if he went back like this, it would be equivalent to rebellion. Yang Xiong looked at Gao Meng with an idiot's eyes.
"The only thing you can do now is to wait and see what changes." Li Xin thought for a while and said to Jiang Yi: "You two are good at martial arts, and with a strong man, in my opinion, you will join Governor Qiu. There are very few people who can use them. In addition, he is also a literati, so I must have some impression of my father. If you join him, you will definitely trust you and use you more. You can take the opportunity to attract others and win people's hearts. Once you really want to fight, you can also have a chance to protect yourself. If you can't go to Dalinghe City, it will be good. When Your Majesty approves the world in the future, we will take the opportunity to return to the Central Plains. If you don't do it well, you will be all officials. Whether you will go back to the Central Plains with me is still a problem?"
"Yes, yes, just follow the young master." Yang Xiong and Gao Meng said without thinking.
"What should I do if the young master?" Jiang Yi asked quickly.
"There are more people on your hands, the safer I will be." Li Xin looked at Jiang Yi, but looked into the distance and said slowly.
"Yes, I understand." Jiang Yi's body shook and he quickly lowered his head and said.
