Chapter 1011 Jizijuan has no choice but to join the trap
If what Bushiya Mara said is true, it means that the Yongping Mansion is by no means limited to the three Liaodong elite fire gun battalions, and even includes some naval battalions.
No one knows what the origin of this naval camp is, how many people there are, and what the equipment is. It would be tragic if they were hit and kicked onto the iron plate.
The war commission of Qian'an really hit the people of Inner Khalkha. The army of more than 50,000 people lost 10,000 to 20,000 people, and they didn't even understand the origin of the enemy.
Other than knowing that the opponent was mainly composed of firecrackers, with ferocious firepower and tenacious fighting spirit, they knew nothing else. The intelligence from Jianzhou Jurchen was also obviously wrong, which led to such a disaster.
Hong Guo'er was speechless when asked by the two men, and had to stammer: "Zhuoli Ketu, Seter, the opening of the Yuguan port has only happened in the past two months. Indeed, many goods in the tribe come from Yuguan." I came over there, but I didn’t know about the Zhou Navy fleet until I set off this time, but I don’t know anything about the naval camp. How can this navy go ashore to fight?”
Busia Mara sneered, "Who said the navy can't go ashore? How do we grassland tribes know this situation? The naval camp of the Zhou Navy is specially used for landing operations. They all use fire guns, and they are the most popular. A useful self-generated fire gun!"
The noble chiefs on the grasslands are no strangers to self-generated fire guns. Although the people on the grasslands are still unfamiliar with fire guns due to various reasons, these upper-class nobles can still see some new things. Self-generating fireguns do not require a match rope, but use a serrated wheel and flint friction to generate sparks to trigger the gunpowder, thereby achieving the purpose.
However, this kind of thing is complicated and delicate, easy to damage, and very particular about its storage. It is also inconvenient to operate and requires special training, so it is not very popular among people on the grassland.
However, they also know that if this kind of thing is equipped on a large scale and used together, it will be even more powerful than ordinary firecrackers because their shooting frequency is much faster.
Bushiya Mara's words shocked all the leaders of Khalkha. If such sailors had entered Yongping Mansion, no matter which county they deployed their defenses in, they would cause great trouble to the attackers.
"Bushiya Mara, you said this is the Denglai Navy. Denglai is far away in Shandong. Why do you want to come to Yongping Mansion to fight? As far as I know, the armies of the Zhou Dynasty are responsible for their own affairs, just like Liaodong. The Jizhen army rarely goes to support Ji Zhen, and the Jizhen army will never go to fight in the Xuan Mansion if it does not receive orders from the Zhou court." Zaisai questioned.
"Zaisai, there are some things that you just don't know." Busia Mara smiled contemptuously: "You only know that Mr. Feng is the only son of Governor Feng and a well-known scholar in the capital city, but you He didn’t know that the uncle of the woman he was engaged to was Prince Teng, the governor of Denglai, and he didn’t know that Shen Yourong, the naval admiral of Denglai, was recommended to Prince Teng by him!”
"..., his father, Prince Teng, the governor of Denglai, and Niu Jizong, the governor of Xuanda, are all descendants of the group of heroes who followed the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to conquer the world. In their Zhou Dynasty, such people were called Wu Xun, something like Do you understand the descendants of Muhuali, Borhu, Borshu, Chilaowen, and Zhebie who were under your command under Genghis Khan?"
"…, they will all support and help each other, or it may be like the relationship between the five departments among you. If you are attacked by outsiders, Zhuangtu, will Manggu Da and Bilingtu help? Definitely, now Feng Ziying When I am a co-president in Yongping Prefecture and am attacked by the Mongols, do you think the Denglai Navy and the Liaodong Army will help? Of course they will within their ability. The reason is that simple."
Busiya Mara talked so eloquently that all the noble chiefs from Nei Khalkha and Horqin were dumbfounded.
They didn't know much about Da Zhou, that is, they only knew the situation of the frontier army commanders and generals they were facing head-on. They focused more on what Da Zhou's caravan could bring to the tribe, and the tribe's What kind of good price can local products be sold at the Great Zhou Caravan?
The complex relationships between these officials and military generals in Da Zhou have neither channels nor energy and thoughts to explore. Where can they know?
I am afraid that only the Jianzhou Jurchens under Nurhachi would have such thoughts and energy to inquire about these things. Even Lin Dan Batur did not have the "leisure and ease" to understand these things.
If it were purely because Ye He's tribe needed the support of Liaodong Town, it would be very interesting to have three thousand elite armored cavalry of Ye He to assist in the battle. But to have Busia Mara, a person who usually has a higher level of vision, as a lobbyist, it would be very interesting. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know what kind of ecstasy the man surnamed Feng gave Busia Mara.
Zaisai took a deep breath, looked directly at Busia Mara and said: "Busiya Mara, what are your intentions in coming to tell us today? If you are here to be a lobbyist for someone named Feng, then tell the truth. If They are here to remind us to be careful when attacking prefectures and counties like Yongping Prefecture. We accept your kindness and you can leave. We know what to do. A naval camp will not let the warriors of Nei Khalkha and Horqin Just hold back.”
Bushiya Mara nodded slightly, "Zaisai, I have long warned you, Hongji Labu, not to listen to the slanders of Lindan Batur and Nurhaci. I know it is not that simple to go south to fight against the Great Zhou Dynasty, but you are still riding a tiger, losing troops and generals, and you have to sacrifice You have paid such a heavy price, and now you have to go back in such a dejected manner. I cannot explain it to the tribe, but I would like to ask, what is your purpose of going south this time?"
Bushiyamala's question caused a burst of ridicule. Seter, Zhuantu, even Mangguda and Hongguoer all looked disdainful. Finally, Hongguoer answered: "Busiyamala, could it be that Have you Haixi Jurchens ever plundered the Great Zhou? You have become a little more peaceful in the past few years. You got some leftovers from the Great Zhou to eat, and are you pretending to be innocent in front of us?"
"Yes, our warriors on the grassland, if they want to survive, they can only come to Dazhou. Hasn't it been like this for thousands of years?" Seter also said with a serious face.
“Well, that makes sense, but what’s the purpose of going south?” Bushiyamala didn’t feel dissatisfied and still asked calmly.
"Of course gold and silver, silk and cloth, tea, porcelain, iron and copper materials, and of course people..." Manggu said impatiently: "Bushiyamara, what do you want to say, while everyone is here, Just say it directly. You are not from the Zhou Dynasty. At most, you just want to do a favor for Feng in Yongping Mansion out of face. If Zaisai can do it, he will definitely help you. If he can't do it, you can tell him. The sky is useless."
I didn't expect that a rough man like Mang Guda could say such a thing. Zaisai even looked at Mang Guda a few more times, but he added than Lingtu: "It should be said that if it is good for our inner kalkha and Yong Everyone is happy to see that things are going well in Pingfu, but if we are to go back with nothing, Bushyamara, although you saved the lives of our two brothers, I still have to say, this is not Maybe, our five inner Khalkha tribes and Horqin have paid tens of thousands of lives in this expedition, and nothing can be worth so much!"
Both Zaisai and Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu heard the meaning of Bi Lingtu's words. Zaisai nodded: "Busiya Mara, did the person named Feng ask you to come and negotiate terms with us? That's fine. How much are they willing to pay to get us out of Yongping Mansion?"
As soon as Zaisai said this, everyone else became agitated. If you can't get what you want without fighting, that's great, but is this possible?
Bushiyamala laughed and said, "Zaisai, you sound like Dazhou has lost the battle and you are begging you?"
Zaisai sneered, "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. This is an old proverb of the Han people. We still have enough strength to win the next battle."
"Really? Are you so sure?" Busia Mara sneered in return, "Three gun battalions, plus a sailor battalion, do not count the three thousand armored cavalry of our Yehe tribe, nor the Jizhen cavalry. The battalion is still wandering in the north, and Chai Guozhu's soldiers from Shanhaiguan can go south at any time. Zaisai, which county are you planning to attack? Luanzhou or Changli, or simply go further away and attack Leting? Do you know their muskets? Where is the camp deployed? Aren't you afraid that after Ji Town gets the news, they will use their hands to cut off your retreat?"
The last sentence of Busiyamala got to the point, which was also the most difficult for Zasai to make up his mind.
Lulong is difficult to fight, and Funing is more dangerous. Only Changli and Luanzhou are left, but Changli has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yongping. South of Jieshi Mountain, Luanzhou is better, but according to the Jurchen intelligence of Jianzhou, the city wall of Luanzhou It has also been strengthened, raised and repaired like Qian'an, making it difficult to fight.
The key is that we still don’t know which county the Liaodong Town’s Fire Gun Battalion is deployed in. Maybe the Great Zhou showed weakness and deliberately lured his side to attack Luanzhou or Changli. As a result, they were all over the place, and even ended up with them. It might be possible to attract a pincer attack from the Zhou armies from Jizhen and Shanhaiguan, which would really result in more losses than gains.
Zaisai's face was so gloomy that he was about to burst into tears, and he stared at Busiamala: "Busiyamala, don't say this, just come up with the conditions! I don't believe that you came to us for our own good. After such a long time, I only have one sentence: If I don’t offer enough conditions, I would rather die another ten or twenty thousand people to attack Luanzhou or Changli. You know I am telling the truth, and none of us here have a choice!"
On New Year’s Eve, I wish all my brothers and sisters a prosperous future, good health, and happy families. I wish all my brothers and sisters who are forced into marriage a happy partner!
