It was really based on this fact that Jin Zidian said this. It can be said that he despised the Ming army from the bottom of his heart, and completely turned to the Manchu side.
However, as a senior official of Jianlu, Ying Erdai naturally knew about the Battle of Lushun. In fact, it was because of the outcome of the Battle of Port Arthur that Huang Taiji sent him to North Korea.
First, Ying Erdai led the troops to defeat North Korea and made North Korea lose its temper. It can be said that in the eyes of North Koreans, he has a very vicious reputation. With him, it doesn't take much troops to make North Korea obediently hand over the shipyard.
The second is to ask for a batch of grain from North Korea. Anyway, no amount of this stuff is too much. If it weren't for the lack of food in Liaodong now, it would be impossible to plunder some young Koreans and go back. At least during the last Bingzi period, the Manchu Qing Dynasty plundered 400,000 young Koreans and returned to Liaodong.
Third, the Ming army came across the sea again. Huang Taiji was worried that North Korea would secretly defect to the Ming Dynasty again, so he asked Ying Erdai to come and bring back the remaining North Korean main combatants against the Qing Dynasty. In this way, he believed that even if the Ming army came, North Korea would not surrender to the Ming country again for a while.
However, whether it was Huang Taiji or Ying Erdai, they still underestimated the Ming Dynasty's kindness to North Korea for more than two hundred years. Even Cui Mingji, the leader of the Zhuhe faction, actually loved the Ming Dynasty. Not everyone, like Jin Zidian, would devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Manchus.
At this time, when Ying Erdai heard what Jin Zidian said, he frowned slightly and said: "The Ming army is coming across the sea. It must be because the people who come are not good and kind. Don't be careless."
He couldn't say that the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do against Lushun, and he couldn't emphasize the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't ignore the facts and directly belittle the Ming army. Therefore, he reminded the North Korean general from another aspect, hoping that he would not face the Ming army in the future. At that time, he suffered a loss. In that case, the Qing Dynasty would lose a good dog.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, definitely, definitely!" Although Jin Zidian was a little dissatisfied, on the surface, he still agreed, "As long as the Qing Dynasty is here, even if the Ming army comes prepared, it will end up being the same as before. !”
Hearing this, Ying Erdai knew that he didn't really listen, but he didn't say anything. At least it was better to have confidence in the Qing Dynasty than to be frightened by the Ming army!
He looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and then told Jin Zidian: "Let's bury the pot and make rice, it's already midnight time!"
North Korea was invaded by the Manchus several times, and there was a lot of burning, killing, and looting. The smaller towns had long been reduced to ruins, and only the larger cities remained. There were originally few people in North Korea, but now it has become even more deserted.
This army arrived in a place with no villages or shops. If they wanted to eat and drink, they naturally had to do it themselves. Of course, this do-it-yourself approach does not include the Jianlu themselves. They are the uncles, so of course there are people who will serve them.
After the military order was passed, the Korean soldiers put down their spears and guns one after another, then carried food, looked for water sources, and began to bury pots and make rice.
Kim Sang-hyun, who was wearing a North Korean military cap, was not put down in the prison van. He was a little depressed, but when he saw that all the meals cooked by the North Korean soldiers were served to Jianlu to eat and drink first, while all the North Korean soldiers could only watch helplessly, his heart surged again. The meaning of anger.
These days, he has already noticed that the amount of rice cooked in the pot is fixed each time. How much the Korean soldiers can eat depends on how much is left after the captives are full. If you are not lucky enough, the North Korean army will be killed and many people will go hungry. Of course, those who were officers among the North Korean soldiers were able to eat well, because they ate first according to their status. Even Kim Sang-heon, a prisoner, could eat before ordinary North Korean soldiers.
The reason why Kim Sang-hyun was angry was not because he felt unworthy of those ordinary North Korean soldiers. It was the different treatment between the two countries that made him feel humiliated as a member of North Korea, as if they, the North Koreans, were all dogs, waiting for their masters to eat leftovers before they could eat.
Seeing Jianlu eating and drinking there, the stomachs of many Korean soldiers couldn't help but growl. However, they can only look at it, and then imagine that they can have a meal like that. If you really can eat it, you have to wait for a while. And when it came time to eat at the end, there wasn't much time left for them. Jianlu was impatient to wait for someone.
In Ordai's case, he ate a little slowly. But it’s not that the food tastes bad. After years of military career, he is actually not that particular. But he was a little distracted while eating.
There is no way, he is one of the most brave leaders in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the second year of Chongzhen. You can know this person's ability by observing Zunhua.
At that time, Ying Erdai stayed in Zunhua City. He didn't have many troops in his hands, but he was able to take advantage of the situation to recruit and surrender the Luanyang camp. Then, at the beginning of the third year of Chongzhen, Governor Zhang Fengyi of Jiliao, Governor Xie Rulan of Shuntian and other troops attacked Zunhua at night. Eleven castles including Shimenyi that had surrendered to Houjin immediately changed their gates and once again became a member of the Ming army and attacked together. Zunhua only had 800 defenders. Even under such circumstances, the Ming army still could not defeat Zunhua, and among the eleven castles that had surrendered, he was told to return to five.
In addition to fighting, he was also in charge of the Qing Dynasty's food, trade and other matters. Before Korea was conquered by the Manchus, it was Ying Erdai who went to Korea as an envoy to coerce and induce the Korean monarchs and ministers to make concessions to the Manchus. This kind of thing is not something that can be done without thinking.
Just before coming to Korea this time, he led his men to expand the old boundary for hundreds of miles at a time in Fenghuang City, Gaizhou, Xiongyue and other places. If history does not change, next year he will go to western Liaoning to measure land and supervise agriculture and industry.
Therefore, without the blood transfusion from Shanxi merchants, he, Ying Erdai, was much clearer than most people about the difficulties faced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now to add insult to injury, the Ming Dynasty actually reopened the Dongjiang River and sent out elites. This would be a sufficient restraint on the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Ying Erdai also knew this very well.
"What a troubled time!" Ying Erdai suddenly sighed in a low voice.
He was really very sorry for the destruction of Shanxi merchants.
There are some things that others don't know, but he knows. Shanxi merchants not only provided blood transfusions to Liaodong, but also provided military intelligence, and even used various methods to influence the Ming Dynasty's decision-making towards the Qing Dynasty. For example, the nail in the Dongjiang River successively affected the decision-making of the Ming Dynasty, and was finally resolved after the Pidao naval battle in the tenth year of Chongzhen.
Thinking of this, Ying Erdai couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Now the Ming army in Dongjiang is still led by a governor himself. This level is already on par with Guan Ning's. Has the Ming emperor finally woke up? How can this Dongjiang Army be eradicated?
Just as he was thinking this, he was suddenly awakened by the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Ying Erdai looked up when he heard the sound, and saw the detective horse deployed at the front of the team, rushing back quickly, shouting at the same time: "There is an enemy attack, prepare for war, there is an enemy attack, prepare for war..."
If it was not particularly urgent, Tanma would not be so anxious to call the police. Instead, he would report it to the coach, who would then make a decision.
But at this time, Tan Ma shouted directly. It can be seen that the situation must be very urgent. This can be known from the fact that two of the three detective horses who escaped had arrows hanging on their bodies before they had time to pull them out.
However, after hearing these words, almost everyone had a question in their mind: "Enemy attack? There is an enemy attack there, who dares to attack the Qing army?"
You know, since the Pidao Ming army was completely annihilated, there are no enemies of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, including North Korea. As for some Ming and Korean bandit and robber gangs in North Korea, they simply did not dare to touch the Qing regular army.
However, only Ying Erdai stood up in excitement, dropped the bowl in his hand to the ground without paying attention, and immediately asked sharply: "But the Ming army?"
In the past, when he returned to Liaodong from Korea as an envoy, he was intercepted and killed by the Dongjiang Army. But there were few people at that time, so I just killed them.
Although he is leading the army now, he happens to be thinking about the newly arrived Ming army, so he is extra vigilant.
At this time, Tan Ma had already rushed in front of him. As expected of the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he reined in his horse and stopped suddenly, then rolled his saddle and dismounted, and headed towards Ying'erdai. Panting and a little panicked, he reported: "Go back to the master, there are at least two thousand Ming troops heading here." Bian rushed over..."
Upon hearing Tan Ma's words, the Ying'erdai guards and the nearby Tatars, who had been nervous, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said subconsciously: "I'm really scared to death. Why are you so panicked?"
"Yes, there are only two thousand Ming troops. What if tens of thousands of Ming troops come?"
"..."
While they were talking, two other injured Tanma also arrived, but instead of showing their riding skills, they fell off their horses. One died on the spot, and the other only breathed. The arrows on their backs penetrated deeply into their bodies, and it was pretty good that they could hold on and come back.
Seeing this scene, these Jianlu, who were proud just now, suddenly stopped talking. Of course they were discerning, and they could tell at a glance that the Ming army, which was shooting arrows at night, was definitely an elite with strong arms and was difficult to deal with.
The one who spoke turned around and glanced at the corpse of his accomplice, and immediately continued to report to Ying Erdai: "...Master, the Ming Army is all elite, not comparable to the previous Dongjiang Army..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Erdai immediately understood that it seemed that the Ming army from Lushun was coming. I just didn't expect that they would come so quickly! Now that the sea route can transport troops, the Qing Dynasty will really be exhausted!
When he was thinking this, some of the North Korean soldiers looked around, wanting to see what happened? There are Jianlu troops here. To be honest, they won't panic at all if there is an enemy attack. There were even some Korean soldiers who were swallowing their saliva and staring at the rice that had fallen to the ground due to the disturbance just now, with pity in their eyes.
And Ying Erdai responded quickly and immediately ordered the assembly to prepare for war.
As soon as those Jianlu who were still eating heard the military order, without saying a word, regardless of whether they finished eating or not, they immediately threw away their rice bowls and began to assemble.
However, the situation with the North Korean soldiers was completely different. Although they heard the military order, many of them still had their stomachs growling with hunger, and their eyes were fixed on the rice.
Some people have no choice but to pick up their own weapons and gather them together, but others want to take the opportunity to grab a handful of rice, even a rice ball. As a result, you blocked me and I blocked you, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.
When Ying Erdai saw it not far away, she couldn't help being furious. On the verge of battle, with the chaos like this, these Korean troops are really hopeless!
When he was about to call Jin Zidian to give orders, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves in front of him. Hearing the sound and looking around, he saw groups of Ming army cavalry wearing bright red mandarin duck uniforms, galloping over here. Judging from their posture, they seemed to want to rush over directly. I roughly estimated that there were about two hundred riders.
Why are there so many cavalry? After Ying Erdai saw it, a question immediately appeared in his mind. But he didn't have time to think about this problem yet. I saw that behind the Ming Army cavalry, groups of Ming Army infantry were rushing towards this side. From a distance, they seemed endless, which was also very shocking.
Obviously, the Ming army set up a premeditated ambush and waited here specifically. Otherwise, we would not have chosen this time to suddenly launch such a large-scale attack.
Ying Erdai had doubts one after another, but he had no time to think about the answers to these doubts because he had no time.
Looking at this posture, it seemed that the Korean army was unreliable at all, so Ying Erdai ignored it and immediately ordered his men to prepare for battle.
However, sometimes, he thought that it would be impossible to ignore the Korean army.
The Korean soldiers were attracted by the sudden huge movement of the Ming army. They looked forward collectively for a while. After being stunned for a while, they found that the Ming cavalry was speeding towards them. Suddenly, they Everyone panicked. Because many of them don’t even have weapons in their hands!
So, I don't know who took the lead, but the first one turned around and ran towards the Manqing uncles, thinking that the Manqing uncles were very powerful in combat, and as long as they ran to their side, they would be safe.
As soon as the others saw it, they immediately ran after him, so that in the end, almost all the Korean soldiers ran towards the Jianlu army formation that was gathering. Even Marshal Jin Zidian himself, who was yelling and trying to stop him at the beginning, also ran towards the Manchu uncle.
When Ying Erdai, who was still gathering to prepare for the battle, saw him, even though he had been in battle for a long time, his face suddenly turned pale. There are four thousand Korean soldiers. If they attack the Qing army's formation of one thousand, everything will be over.
These pig teammates are really damned. Can't you see that those Ming cavalry are all light cavalry, how can they let people rush at them! Obviously, they just wanted to drive these pig teammates to attack the Qing army!
It was too late to scold, Ying Erdai immediately ordered, the Qing archers gathered in the rear formation immediately stepped forward, passed the pikemen, and directly shot those Korean soldiers who fled towards the Qing army's formation the fastest.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
