Mao Wenlong knew clearly what his mission and purpose were. After clearing several military forts with soldiers in several Jiannu villages in the surrounding area, he temporarily stopped the attack.
Instead, he asked his adopted grandsons to divide their forces, with the mouth of the pine tree as the center point, and attack from all directions to raid the villages where slaves were built and the fields used to grow food.
Then he led a force as the main force and marched towards Weizi Valley.
In the middle of the night, Mao Wenlong gathered two thousand soldiers and attacked Weizi Valley at night. He killed more than 80 slave soldiers and surrendered more than a hundred soldiers.
After taking Weizi Valley, Mao Wenlong was no more than a hundred miles away from Hetuala, Lao Nu's base camp. It only took him three days to reach Jian Nu's rear base camp.
Mao Wenlong began to gather the scattered troops. After resting for half a day, he was preparing to attack Jiannu's last line of defense, Crow Falcon Pass, when he received important information.
Mang Gurtai led a slave-building army to Qinghe Fort, and the old slaves had returned to support from the front line.
After learning about this, Mao Wenlong did not take advantage of the situation, but decisively issued an order for a complete withdrawal of troops, and withdrew rapidly.
After his conquests and destruction in the past few days, Zhenjiang troops had killed all the chickens and dogs within a radius of dozens of miles, and all the cultivated land and fields had been burned cleanly.
This winter, I don’t know how many Jiannu will starve to death and freeze to death, but this is not what Mao Wenlong cares about. He is only responsible for lighting the fire, and everything else is borne by the Jiannu himself. Its human body.
When Mang Gurtai hurried to the entrance of the pine tree, Mao Wenlong was nowhere to be seen. All he saw were the villages and fields burned to the ground by the Zhenjiang army.
On the dilapidated city wall at Songshukou, Mao Wenlong deliberately left a door panel with a passage written in Manchu and Chinese.
"Don't chase me, slave chief. I'll keep your dog's head for now. When the general is short of silver to exchange for wine, I will come and get it!"
Seeing the gloomy expression on Mang Gurtai's face, several discerning servants were preparing to move the door panel away.
But Mang Gurtai had already drawn the saber from his waist, and was slashing at the door panel, cursing Ming Gou, Nikan and the like.
"Mao Wenlong, you despicable Minggou, Ben Beile will definitely kill you, keep chasing you!"
How could Mang Gurtai, who had always been arrogant, stand this anger? Although he didn't even see Mao Wenlong's flattery, he resolutely gave the order to continue the pursuit.
But every time he passed a military fort captured by the Ming army, a similar door panel stood in the most conspicuous place, and the words left on it were all words that insulted and ridiculed the slaves.
Mang Gurtai chased him for fifty miles, but he still didn't smell Mao Wenlong's flattery, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
Although Mao Wenlong had captured Zhenjiang again, and was appointed by the emperor as the deputy garrison general of Zhenjiang Fort, he did not garrison here. Instead, he led his troops to Pidao, across the sea from North Korea, which was his base camp.
…
…
When the good news from Liaodong came to Beijing, the whole country was shocked again. The people of the capital spontaneously took to the streets, beat gongs and drums, and set off firecrackers to celebrate the imperial court's victory.
The officials immediately presented a congratulatory memorial to Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiaolu read the good news of Li Songping, Xiong Tingbi, and Mao Wenlong one after another, and he kept shouting good things.
His hanging heart could finally let go.
After all, he won the bet, and the old slave actually dared to go out again regardless of the cost just because of a letter from these generals.
It seems that his gambler mentality is much stronger than his own, and Liao Chen's temptation towards Jian Nu is too great.
I have to say that Lao Nu is indeed very courageous. Even Zhu Youxiao admires Lao Nu's boldness this time.
Jiannu has experienced successive wars in the past few months, and he has not had time to rest and recuperate, and his morale is far lower than before the Battle of Shenyang. Under so many uncertain factors, he actually dared to act recklessly.
But Lao Nu had to pay a heavy price for his recklessness this time. After another disastrous defeat, Jiannu had basically lost the capital to capture Liaoshen.
The old slave's fantasy of taking over Liaoshen was completely shattered.
Zhu Youxiao did not be stingy with rewards, but generously rewarded all the sergeants and generals who participated in the war. It can be said that this was the most generous he had done in the past year since he took the throne.
Xiong Tingbi was awarded the title of Prince, Taishi and Taibao for his meritorious command and dispatch, and was rewarded with three thousand taels of silver and fifty pieces of silk.
Li Songping was promoted from General Xiaoqi to General Pingliao, and continued to garrison Liaoyang and control all armaments in Liao.
Pidao was also officially established as a military town in the Ming Dynasty, named Dongjiang Town, with Mao Wenlong as the chief military officer, and his three adopted grandsons, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, as three-way guerrilla generals and separate guard generals. Not for now.
Although these three people were the biggest accomplices of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in taking over the Central Plains, that was a mistake caused by another time and space. Putting aside these, the three of them are all generals who can conquer and fight well, otherwise they would not be the famous Sanshun. Your Majesty, how could Zhu Youxiao let it go?
Mei Chun, the guerrilla general of the Left Guard Army, was promoted to the general of Guangning Military Preparation Road Branch Guards and led his troops to garrison in Guangning City.
You Shigong was promoted to General Zhaoyong and Prince Shaobao. Zu Dashou was promoted to General of Staff and led his troops to follow Xiong Tingbi to garrison in Shenyang.
Other generals and civil servants with outstanding military exploits were rewarded and promoted according to the rules. Among the sergeants, there was an extremely young sergeant who was appreciated by Xiong Tingbi for killing the heads of seven slaves. He was promoted several levels in a row, and was directly promoted from a soldier to a general. , this young man’s name is Huang Degong.
The Ming army lost more than 3,000 people in this battle. In the name of replenishing the armaments of the Liao region, Zhu Youxiao transferred another 5,000 troops from the Yulin army to the Liao Dynasty and put them under the command of Meichun.
Then all the Liao generals and Liao soldiers in Guangning were transferred to Shenyang and returned to Xiong Tingbi for control.
Although the half-hearted and disobedient generals in Liaoyang were wiped out by this, the civil servants who were complicit with them are still there.
Jin Yiwei has already mastered most of their evidence. The main reason why he has not taken action is because he is worried about those generals.
But things are different now. Those generals cannot protect themselves, so how can they still protect them?
Zhu Youxiao immediately drafted an edict in person, asking Tiqi from Fusi in Beizhen to set off with the 5,000 Yulin troops who went to Liao to arrest all those merchants and civil servants who were corrupt, engaged in slavery and betrayed the country.
Zhu Youxiao thought of Hong Chengchou who was ordered to go to the Three Guards of Liaodong to persuade him to surrender. He didn't know how his mission was completed. He hoped that he could bring him another piece of good news.
Things in Liaodong have been temporarily stabilized. As long as I don't make serious mistakes and maintain the current situation, I will never have a chance to turn around.
And I can also concentrate on rectifying the country.
