"With these things, I can defeat those savages."
Mang Gurtai felt that he could do it again.
It is true that the weapons provided by General Wu and Liang Fa are too luxurious.
Not to mention five hundred flintlock muskets, a sufficient amount of gunpowder and projectiles, there are also three hundred sets of chainmail and thousands of various finely forged cold weapons.
These things may not count for much when taken to Liaodong and the Central Plains. It can be used to deal with the small tribe of savage Jurchens in the north, which is really devastating and invincible.
"Who the hell are you? Southerners don't have such blazing guns."
After the excitement, Mang Gurtai couldn't help it.
It's not like he hasn't fought against the Ming army. The firearms used by the Ming army are no better than those of Hou Jin.
He was 100% sure that the Ming army definitely did not have such good firecrackers.
Now that the matter has come to an end, General Wu won't hide it from him anymore.
"Do you know how Amin died?"
Mang Gurtai's expression changed when he heard him mention Amin.
"Are you from Zuo Mengeng, Shandong?"
Wu Jiang pursed his lips and smiled.
"I didn't expect your Jurchens' intelligence to be quite powerful."
Mang Gurtai looked very bad.
Because among the brothers, he and Amin have the best relationship.
When Amin died at Qingshui Pass, he was the angriest and wanted to raise troops to avenge Amin.
Unfortunately, times have changed and he is now unable to protect himself, and even has to rely on the help of the enemy who killed Amin.
"Humph, Huang Taiji has been plotting against you, be careful."
Liang Fa was full of confidence.
"It's a pity that we moved faster."
Mang Gurtai had nothing to say and finally paid attention to this group of people.
"You are quite powerful. You are actually able to transport so many things."
Since Mongolia took refuge with Hou Jin, everything outside the Great Wall was under Hou Jin's control. And I don’t know what means Wu Jiang and others used to transport so many things.
Wu Jiang snorted: "You know, four years ago, you and Huang Taiji had a dispute at Daling River, and we started planning this matter."
As soon as these words came out, Mang Gurtai and the others felt chills all over their bodies, and the last trace of malice towards General Wu and others disappeared.
Mang Gurtai originally thought that when he reached the far north, he would find an opportunity to kill these southern barbarians who did not take him seriously, and then he would be the only one to dominate.
It turned out that these southern barbarians had been planning for today's event for more than a year and a half, and the whole process was uneventful and no one noticed.
These methods are like gods.
Wu Jiang revealed this in order to dispel the unrealistic illusions of Mang Gurtai and others.
Returning to the map again, General Wu said: "Zhang Chun, Hei Yunlong and Gong'a will arrive tomorrow, and we will set off immediately. As long as we pass Zhenbei Fort, the sky is high and the sea is vast. At least Huang Taiji will not try to catch up with us this winter."
Mang Gurtai was shocked.
"Zhang Chun was also kidnapped? Didn't Heiyunlong run away?"
Liang Fa laughed and said: "We are not in exile when we go to the north. We have to establish territory and build up power before we can compete with Huang Taiji. We don't understand the administration of Jianyuan. With Zhang Chun and Hei Yunlong here, whether it is building a yamen or Building an army is no problem."
Mang Gurtai was silent again.
Let him fight, he is not afraid, and he doesn't think he will lose to anyone.
But without the current political system of Hou Jin, if he wanted to set up his own business, he would never be able to do all the complicated things with his simple mind.
This is also the reason why the Intelligence Department wanted to get Zhang Chun out.
Since Zhang Chun would rather die than surrender after being captured, it shows that his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen was very stubborn.
The Ministry of Intelligence does not believe that it can induce him to defect.
In this case, let Zhang Chun assist Mang Gurtai.
I believe Zhang Chun will be willing to do anything that can cause trouble for Hou Jin.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Chun, Hei Yunlong, and Gong'a arrived hand in hand.
Like Mang Gurtai, they were also confused along the way.
When did the security at Houjin's headquarters become so lax?
In fact, it is not that today's Houjin is not as good as before. The main reason is that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and it is inconvenient to move in the field. Secondly, the Intelligence Department has been conducting reconnaissance for more than a year, and all routes have been planned in advance.
Apart from anything else, the supply of materials along the way cannot be done in a hurry.
Zhang Chun sat opposite Mang Gurtai, feeling very complicated.
I never thought that one day I would fight side by side with the Jurchen's Great Belle.
But Wu Jiang made it very clear that Mang Gurtai has now defected.
Since he is Huang Taiji's enemy, he can become Daming's friend.
"If you want to leave, you can't delay. You must start immediately. Otherwise, if Huang Taiji bites you, if there are any obstacles to your future, I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated."
Everyone agreed, and that day they destroyed the camp and began to move north.
The group of people and horses crossed the Xiaoqing River between Liaohaiwei and Jingan Fort without alerting Liaohaiwei who was close at hand, and went straight to Zhenbei Fort.
That night, we walked outside Weiyuan Fort.
Leng Sengji and his men pretended to be from the Liaohai Guards and successfully entered the city. Together with Mang Gurtai, Zhang Chun, Wu Jiang and others, they broke through Weiyuan Fort.
After killing all the people in the fort and loading the looted supplies into the truck, General Wu gave the order.
"set fire."
Mang Gurtai hurriedly stopped him and said, "No. Zhenbei Fort is not far away. Setting fire at this time will remind that place."
Wu Jiangxiao is mysterious and unpredictable.
"Baylor, please be patient and wait patiently."
As he spoke, flames burst out everywhere in Weiyuan Fort, and soon, the raging fire reflected half of the sky.
Carrying the fire on their backs, the group rushed to Zhenbei Fort.
Zhenbeibao was indeed alarmed by the fire in Weiyuan Fort.
"Uh-huh, something happened to Weiyuan Fort. It's estimated that the savages from the north are attacking us again. We should quickly reinforce them."
The people below actively asked for a fight, but Niu Lu'erzhen from Zhenbeibao said "hmm" with no meaning and remained motionless.
The people below were stunned.
"Um really?"
The sword flashed and the man's neck was sliced open. The people nearby were shocked, and when they tried to take action, they were all hacked to death by Ezhen's henchmen.
Niu Lu'erzhen looked at the people walking from a distance and murmured to himself.
"I've been waiting for this fire for a long time."
"You...are you Hunta?"
Niu Lu Ezhen from Zhenbeibao actually knew Mang Gurtai.
Hunta sneered.
"Master Beile, you didn't expect that the descendants of Hu Erhan would be sent here?"
Mang Gurtai looked at General Wu with a strange expression, and finally understood why General Wu was so confident when he burned down Weiyuan Fort.
It turned out that these Nanmanzi had already bribed Hunta, the guard of Zhenbei Fort.
Mang Gurtai was not surprised at all that Hunta would rebel.
Because Hunta was the eldest son of Hu Erhan, the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The five ministers are Nurhaci's loyal friends, and each of them has prospered. Not only them, but their descendants are also among the high-ranking officials of Hou Jin Dynasty. They control the government and influence the situation with unparalleled glory.
Only Hu Erhan.
Because of the dispute over the succession to the Khan throne, Hu Erhan was demoted and expelled from the rank of five ministers.
Adun was also killed at this time.
Hunta was originally a third-class general soldier, so he was implicated and was eventually expelled to the remote and remote Zhenbei Fort to guard the border.
Once full of glory, now that the tiger is in peace, how can Hunta not hold a grudge in his heart.
When the Intelligence Department began to operate in Liaodong, it conducted very detailed research and sorting out the senior figures of Houjin, and finally found Hunta.
Hunta had long been unwilling to accept the current situation and immediately agreed.
With him as an internal agent, Zhenbeibao, which Mang Gurtai regarded as a natural danger, suddenly became a smooth road.
"Burn Zhenbei Fort and move on."
General Wu and Liang Fa distributed the flintlock guns that had been brought.
Going further north from here, there are no more Eight Banners, and the scattered tribes along the way are all their supplies.
The sky in the northwest became increasingly gloomy, and the goose-feather snowflakes gradually became denser. The traces left by the large group of people were quickly buried.
It was as if no one had ever been here under this sky.
