At Zhenjiang Fort, Hong Chengchou had been looking forward to it, hoping for good news.
You must know that the complete annihilation of the Dongjiang Army was planned by him.
At that time, Dorgon, one of the regents, sent someone to ask him for advice. It has to be said that compared to Jianlu, or anyone else, Hong Chengchou's former high position allowed him to be sure of the situation of all forces in Liaodong. This was unmatched by others.
For others, if no warship can attack Pi Island, it seems that the Dongjiang Army has nothing to do with it.
However, for Hong Chengchou, he was able to start from the situation of all the forces, and he was able to formulate such a perfect plan that others could not.
He could grasp that Jin Fulai, the leader of the Korean rebels, probably wanted to be the king of Korea; and he also knew that even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to establish the king of Korea, it would be more likely to find another person from Korea, no matter how far away, to be the king. I will never appoint a rebel as the king of North Korea.
Of course, because Zhang Mingwei traveled through time after he was captured, he didn't know Zhang Mingwei at all. But this does not affect his plan. Because Zhang Mingwei did not want to establish the king of Korea at all, but brought Korea under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty for the future.
Later, Hong Chengchou learned that after the White Disaster, the various Mongolian tribes must want to enter the pass and plunder. However, if it were just them, they would not have enough troops and probably not enough courage. They would have to follow the Qing army into the pass.
Based on these two points, Hong Chengchou's plan was formulated.
He is indeed a capable person. After having this plan, details were even added. For example, letting Hauge act as bait would minimize the possibility of being considered a bait by the Dongjiang Army.
For another example, he considered the possible actions of the Dongjiang Army, which would probably take the retreat route of Hauge's troops. In this way, Zhenjiang Fort was unable to learn the situation on the battlefield immediately, so it took a long time to prepare and made up its mind from the North Korean rebels.
With all this, Hong Chengchou carefully laid this trap. Naturally, he was very eager for his prey to fall into the trap. And he, Hong Chengchou, can prove that he can do what others cannot!
In this way, his status in the Qing Dynasty will definitely be very important, and he will not be in such an embarrassing situation!
In this way, although he seemed calm and calm on the surface, he was actually very concerned about the war situation in North Korea. I often unintentionally inspect the city defenses and patrol the area near the Yalu River for a long time.
In addition to him, there is another person, there is another person in Zhenjiang Fort, who is also very concerned about the war situation in North Korea. This person is naturally Jin Fulai's brother Jin Gui.
If the Qing army could destroy the Dongjiang Army, then the Ming army's power in North Korea would be almost wiped out. Only with its navy, it would not be able to make any trouble.
With the support of the Qing Dynasty, Jin Fulai can successfully become the king of North Korea. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed! Whoever supports it will be appointed as an official! From then on, the North Korean surname was no longer Li, but Jin!
By then, he will be titled as a great king. If possible, it would be best to get the support of the Qing Dynasty, then it is not impossible to inherit the throne from Jin Fulai!
Thinking of this, Jin Guidao even more eagerly hoped that the good news from North Korea would come to him as soon as possible. So much so that in the past few days, he didn't sleep well at all, and he had panda eyes every day.
On this day, he was accompanying Hong Chengchou on patrol on the top of the city. Suddenly, he saw movement coming from the direction of the Yalu River. He quickly turned his head to look and shouted in surprise: "Here he comes, he comes, he comes back, he comes back!"
For those who didn’t know better, when they heard his movements, they thought it was his parents who were here!
When Hong Chengchou heard the sound, he immediately looked up. Sure enough, he saw groups of Qing troops approaching from the direction of the Yalu River. The two leaders, judging from their attire, are not Prince Hauge of Heshuosu and Prince Azig of Heshuoying of the Qing Dynasty.
Upon seeing this, Hong Chengchou quickly said to Jin Guidao: "Let's go and greet your two highnesses!"
While they were talking, they both walked briskly down the city wall and headed out.
After Hong Chengchou left the city and saw the expressions of the Qing soldiers coming over, he was stunned.
Why do they all look ugly? Aren't they supposed to be happy?
Could it be...
A bad thought immediately popped up, and the smile on Hong Chengchou's face suddenly disappeared.
When he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember what was wrong!
The money was so valuable that I came here to report it, and the Mongolian cavalry also sent reinforcements as quickly as possible. Everything was perfect. What could go wrong?
To be honest, Hong Chengchou looked confused at this time.
As for Jin Guidao next to him, he didn't have his eyesight at all. He didn't care about his identity. He passed Hong Chengchou and others and ran over happily, facing Azig's horse head, imitating the Qing Dynasty's understanding. He patted the non-existent horseshoe sleeve twice, slapped it down with a thousand strokes, and said excitedly: "Congratulations to His Highness on your triumphant return, Congratulations to Your Highness on your triumphant return..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard the sound of wind. Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He couldn't bear it any longer and pounced forward, falling to the ground like a dog.
"Come on, catch and skin this bitch!" Azig withdrew his whip, stared at Jin Guidao lying on the ground, and shouted sternly, "Remember, don't let him die, make his life worse than death!"
After he finished speaking, Jin Fugui on the ground could clearly be seen twitching. But the whip on the back of the head was probably so severe that he couldn't even struggle.
Haug, who was next to Azig, came to his senses as soon as he heard what he said, and shouted angrily: "Is he two-faced?"
"It was either him or his brother. Only they could have done this!" After hearing this, Azig pointed at Jin Guidao on the ground with his riding crop and said in a hateful voice.
The Zhenjiang Fort guards who had come over, including Hong Chengchou, were very surprised when they saw Jin Gui being knocked to the ground. When they heard their conversation again, they were all stunned: What is going on?
Therefore, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort quickly asked about the situation. Because as long as they are Jianlu, they are all very concerned about whether the Dongjiang Army has been eliminated!
After hearing this, Azig said bitterly: "The Koreans are not good people, and they defected to the Ming army again, leaking the news in advance, so that when the king arrived with his troops, the Ming army just got on the boat and ran away! "
Hearing this, everyone who was Jianlu felt very sorry, and then became angry. They rushed forward one by one and angrily kicked Jin Guidao who was lying on the ground.
Only Hong Chengchou looked puzzled after hearing this.
To be honest, he doubted Azig's statement.
There was no reason for Jin Fulai to miss such a good opportunity?
Even if the Ming army finally agreed to him becoming the king of North Korea, he would definitely have scruples when his brother was in Zhenjiang Fort, fearing that the Ming army would be suspicious.
It can be said that when Jin Gui arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, it was destined that Jin Fulai would never join the Ming army again.
But the problem is, Azig just said that when he arrived, all the Ming army just got on the boat and escaped. If Jin Fulai hadn't snitched, what would have been the reason?
You know, among the troops led by Haug, the only ones who knew the entire plan were Haug and the few generals leading him. No matter what, it is absolutely impossible for them to reveal this plan to the Ming army.
For a moment, he was also confused!
But even though he felt something was fishy, he didn't mean to say anything because the gold on the ground was so valuable.
The plan had failed, which was what he regretted most. If you are too rich to speak out and question Azig's words, you will only do it if you are mentally ill!
In fact, this plan failed. In addition to traitors such as Jianlu and Hong Chengchou, the Mongols were also very sorry.
The failure to completely annihilate the Dongjiang Army meant that the Qing Dynasty could not send troops to bypass the Mongolian grassland to attack the Ming Dynasty. But if they cannot attack the Ming Dynasty, their tribes will not be able to make up for the losses caused by the White Disaster, which means that their tribes will suffer from famine.
The only way to avoid famine is to seize resources. The Qing Dynasty couldn't rob it, and the Ming Dynasty couldn't rob it, so it had to be robbed among the various tribes on the grassland!
Unless the Qing Dynasty can help them solve this problem, in order to survive, they will have to eat the weak and the strong!
Thinking like this, they didn't want to stay in Zhenjiang Fort, so they all said goodbye to Azige and went to Shengjing. Let’s see if the Qing Dynasty can give another explanation!
Seeing these Mongolians acting like this, Hauge could no longer stay in Zhenjiang Fort and could only accompany the Mongols back to Shengjing. If they are not accompanied, even if these Mongolians are allies, they will be worried that something will happen to them on the road!
As for Azige, he is only focused on the matter of making money so expensive that life is worse than death. He is failing and failing. If he doesn’t say this, he will not be able to live this life!
………………
On the Dongjiang Army side, the army has returned to Pi Island to rest.
In this battle, some Jianlu were killed and wounded in the initial battle. However, almost all the soldiers who went on the expedition were very excited. Even when they went to Pi Island, they were still very excited and talking about the war!
"I'm not afraid to tell you that when I received the military order to retreat, I thought the commander's heads were caught in the door, but it turned out that it was my head caught in the door, haha!"
"Yes, the commander is really awesome! If we don't withdraw, the Jianlu reinforcements will arrive and our entire army will be wiped out!"
"No, they are all cavalry, one person and two horses, we will definitely not be able to defeat them!"
"..."
Rejoicing and admiring have become the main themes on Pidao. Everyone is talking about this battle.
But the people they admired, sitting in the lobby at this time, were all afraid.
After a long while, Li Guo frowned and raised his doubts: "Why did the Jianlu reinforcements suddenly appear, and most of them are Mongolian cavalry, one man and two horses? They obviously got the news and wanted to raid us?"
