Faced with the harsh conditions given by Wang Bing, Nuerhachi made a decision.

At this time, Wang Bing, who was slow to escort the Tatar prisoners due to the construction of the Beijing-Liaoning Straight Road, also entered the Crow Falcon Pass in Liaodong Town with 10,000 feathered forest guards!

Crow Falcon Pass was built in the fourth year of Chenghua by Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Liaoyang, Han Bin, in order to restrict the Jurchens from Jianzhou and prevent envoys from the Bangzi Kingdom from peeking into the reality of Liaodong. Because the pass is so dangerous, it looks like a bird of prey overlooking the mountain, so it is named Crow Falcon Pass!

There are three barriers in the entire city, and each barrier is one mile apart, so it is also called "Three Passes".

About seventy miles south after entering the customs, you will find Qinghe Fort, an important town in Liaodong. Its geographical location is crucial and it has always been an important place guarded by military strategists.

After leaving the customs, walk about eighty miles northeast to Foala, the current headquarters of the Jianzhou Department. This is also one of Wang Bing's reasons for choosing the Yulin Guard station here, in order to frighten Nuerha.

red.

"Alas, cities and fortresses are being built all over Jiubian, and they are passively defended everywhere. No matter how rich the imperial family is, they can't withstand such a torment!"

After sending the former guards back to Liaodong Town and taking over the entire Crow Falcon Pass, they closed the first pass and looked at the land outside the pass that was locked by the city walls connected to the ridges on both sides. However, Li Zunzu and others couldn't help but shake their heads.

Li Zunzu and others, who had long been accustomed to attacking in the ten years since the Yulin Guards formed the army, were not accustomed to being responsible for defending the city for the first time.

In fact, speaking of it, not only the generals of the Yulin Guards like Li Zunzu, but also the ordinary sergeants of the entire Yulin Guards have never had the concept of occupying the city and defending themselves.

"Haha, don't worry, maybe it won't be long before these castles will be repurposed!"

Looking at the land outside the city gate, Wang Bing, the de facto commander of the Yulin Guards, smiled confidently.

"Lao San, have you changed your mind?"

The generals who thought that Wang Bing had changed his mind and were now going to attack the Jianzhou Department were all looking at Wang Bing with joy on their faces.

"Don't worry, you will fight the battle, but now, haha, the time has not come yet! What's more, it is just a small Jianzhou Department, how can it be enough for our Yulin Guards?"

Seeing the hopeful expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Bing couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

"That's true. It's just that the Jianzhou Department has a small number of people who can't even feed the ten thousand of us. If you want to fight, just fight the big ones. If you take down all the Jurchens in Liaodong, it will be enough, hahahaha!"

I thought Wang Bing was talking about the entire Nuergandusi people, but they didn’t know at all that the big battle Wang Bing was talking about was to deal with those little Japanese who wanted to annex the Ming Dynasty in a few years!

…

"Boom boom boom boom..."

After a loud noise, behind the Crow Falcon Pass that had just been taken over by the Yulin Guards, gravel was flying everywhere and smoke was billowing!

"Uncle Guo, using this method to dig mountains and build roads will not only save time and effort, but also prepare the gravel for road construction at the same time. It really kills multiple birds with one stone!"

Seeing the huge rocks and some hills vanishing into thin air in an instant with the sound of the explosion, several craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry to build the road couldn't help but look happy.

Needless to say, the purpose of this excavation and rock blasting was to widen and rebuild the road from Crow Pass to Liaodong Town.

There is no way, unlike the flat land in western Liaoning, the walls of the castles from Liaodong Town eastward to Crow Falcon Pass are basically hilly and mountainous.

Therefore, the roads that originally led from Liaodong Town to the castles on the east side were mostly narrow and winding, making it difficult for large armies to pass.

Therefore, after taking over Crow Falcon Pass, rebuilding the road became a top priority.

It's just that in this era without mechanical help, the time and difficulty it took to open the mountain in the past were unimaginable.

Therefore, in order to shorten the distance between Crow Falcon Pass and Liaodong Town as much as possible, and at the same time to facilitate the passage of the army, almost all the roads that were curved in the past to avoid the mountains were marked by Wang Bing, preparing to let everyone

Use gunpowder to blow it flat and straighten it.

"Haha, I will leave the task of opening the mountain to the Habayashi Guards, and the rest will be left to you. I have only one request, and that is to build this road for me as quickly as possible."

As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first! What matters in war is logistics. If the logistics cannot keep up, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be useless.

Especially for an army like the Habayashi Guards, which is fully equipped with firearms, if they lack ammunition, the fire blunderbuss will really become a fire stick!

Therefore, Wang Bing, who suffers from "insufficient firepower syndrome", naturally puts road construction and ensuring smooth logistics at the top of his priority list.

…

"General!"

Just when Wang Bing returned from inspecting the Yulin Guards' use of gunpowder to help build roads by blasting rocks at Changshan Mountain, Shuerhaqi, who had previously asked Wang Bing for leave to return to the Jianzhou Department, also rushed back.

However, after seeing Wang Bing, Shuerhaqi knelt down in front of him without saying a word.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Shuerhaqi who was kneeling in front of him but said nothing, Wang Bing couldn't help but his face condensed.

"Please general, please open your eyes and leave a way for the Jianzhou Department to survive!"

After a long time, Shuerhaqi, who was kneeling on his knees, finally spoke, but he begged Wang Bing to let the Jianzhou Ministry go.

"So Nuerhachi is determined not to live a peaceful life? Haha!"

Naturally, Wang Bing had already expected Shuerhaqi's failure to return without success.

After all, in the original history, this slave Haci was also the founder of the Braided Dynasty. How could he give up the hegemony so easily?

"I beg the general to give the Jianzhou Department a chance of survival. Shuerhaqi is willing to go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty..."

Seeing Wang Bing's cold smile, Shuerhaqi couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Get up! It's your misfortune that the Jianzhou Ministry has Nurhaci in the Jianzhou Ministry. But fortunately, the Jianzhou Ministry still has you Shuerhaqi, so you don't have to worry about Jianzhou following in the footsteps of the Bahrain Ministry!"

Looking at Shuerhaqi who was being cultivated by him as a chess piece, Wang Bing couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

In Wang Bing's original plan, Shuerhaqi was simply used to replace Nuerhachi and take charge of the Jianzhou Department for the Ming Dynasty. But now, Wang Bing has some vague ideas.

"Thank you General for your kindness!"

Although he didn't quite understand what Wang Bing said, Shuerhaqi heard the words "I won't follow in the footsteps of the Bahrain tribe" very clearly at this moment.

"Haha, the champion came to Liaodong and actually passed through the city without entering. Could it be that he looks down on me?"

Just when Shuerhaqi knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Wang Bing for his promise that Jurchens in Jianzhou would not be annihilated, a burst of laughter came from outside the door, but it was Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, who came in person.
