Chapter 12 Target, Shengjing City

"Since we are colleagues in the Ming army, let the leader come in and see him." Zhu Yunfei was able to avoid killing the Han people who surrendered and became slaves, which was the utmost benevolence and justice.

Now that he is deep into the Jurchen hinterland, if he takes the people on his way, not only will he not be able to save them, but he will harm others and himself.

As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die. The people are already suffering enough.

Zhu Yunfei could not ask them to be as loyal to the Ming Dynasty as soldiers.

Being a slave in Jiannu, Liaodong, although life was poor, there was still a way to survive.

If you follow yourself, it will definitely lead to death.

Although Zhu Yunfei hated the Jiannu, he did not hate the Han people at the bottom. It was not their fault that they worked for the Jiannu.

Because they have no choice, people always have to live.

What is really at fault is the current Ming Dynasty, those corrupt and polite scum in the Forbidden City.

It was the self-righteous Emperor Chongzhen, although Zhu Yunfei was not a historical expert.

But he also knew some of Emperor Chongzhen's evaluations. Although he was diligent and honest, he was also mean and unkind and self-willed.

Because of suspicion, the wrong use of sycophants, and the unjust killing of loyal ministers, the treasury was empty, the people were in dire straits, and refugees were everywhere. In the end, the Ming Dynasty was ruined and ended up hanging on a mountain of coal.

Although natural disasters continued in the late Ming Dynasty, how could they not be man-made disasters?

Take Liaodong, where the Jurchens live, as an example. Both the climate and the geographical environment are much worse than those in the Central Plains.

But Nurhaci raised an army with thirteen pairs of armor, and through the hard work of his father and son for two generations, he unified the Jurchen tribes step by step, and the population steadily increased from hundreds of thousands to half a million today.

Coupled with the efforts to win over and unify Monan Mongolia and regain the Han population in Liaodong, the current population of various ethnic groups under the rule of the slaves has already reached three million.

Looking back at the Ming Dynasty, from the end of Wanli to Emperor Tianqi and then to Chongzhen for several decades, the battles at the center of the imperial court never stopped.

What Donglin Party, eunuch Party, it is you who sings, I will appear on the stage.

Let's take a good Ming Dynasty and deal with the internal and external troubles.

Zhu Yunfei was a martial artist who lived for decades in his previous life. Except for the period when he was young and studying, he spent all his time in a hail of bullets.

Therefore, fighting has become the meaning of his life. Back in the late Ming Dynasty, for him, it was undoubtedly a fish in water.

"I'm Zhao Yue, I've met General Zhu." Zhao Yue, who is about 1.8 meters tall, is about thirty years old. Due to years of hard work, his complexion is dark and his appearance is desolate. He looks like a little old man.

Not only does he have a sallow face and thin muscles, he is also very thin in body shape. It seems that it is caused by long-term fatigue and malnutrition.

But Zhao Yue, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, has perseverance in his eyes, which shows that he is a determined person.

Otherwise, after being captured, he would not be willing to farm the land as a slave, rather than surrender and work hard to build slaves.

"No need to be polite, I heard from Tianfu that you and your brothers want to come with us?"

Zhu Yunfei looked at Zhao Yue and asked with sharp eyes.

"I would also like to ask General Zhu to help me. These brothers under me are all hereditary military households. Their ancestors came from the Qi family army in Dengzhou. Although we were captured, we did not dare to surrender, lest we humiliate the heroic spirits of our ancestors."

Zhao Yue raised his head and replied with firm eyes.

"It turns out he is a descendant of Qi Shaobao, no wonder he is so loyal." When Zhu Yunfei heard about Qi Jiajun, he couldn't help but stand in awe.

Qi Jiajun was founded by Qi Jiguang and was an iron-blooded force that resisted Japanese pirates in the middle of Ming Dynasty.

Because Qi Jiguang later became an official in Shaobao, later generations respectfully called him Qi Shaobao.

After praising him, Zhu Yunfei said solemnly: "Since he is a descendant of the Qi family army, he is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and I should help him."

"Now I give you two choices. One is that if you join us, you must obey my orders unconditionally. My orders are military law, and those who violate them will be killed!"

"Second, you can leave on your own. I can give each of you a horse, and some of the weapons, grain, grass and money captured in Black Mountain City can be given to you in part."

Upon hearing the conditions proposed by Zhu Yunfei, Zhao Yue had almost no hesitation.

"My subordinate Zhao Yue is willing to obey General Zhu's military orders."

Zhao Yue was obviously a smart man. He had been a prisoner for more than a year. Although he planned to escape many times, they all ended in failure.

The fact that Zhu Yunfei was able to lead his troops to fight here shows that he is exceptional. If you follow him, your chances of survival will obviously be greater.

"Very good, you are a smart man." Zhu Yunfei affirmed the other party's decision.

"Tianfu, I will give you an hour to help Zhao Yue and the others eat, take a bath and change into the military uniforms of the slaves."

"I humbly obey my orders." Zhang Tianfu and Zhao Yue bowed their hands and retreated.

"Li Hu, lead the troops to guard and prevent slave-building spies from leaving the city."

"As ordered." After Li Hu left, only Zhu Yunfei and Yi Yonggui were left in the lobby.

"General, what's the next step?" He was shocked at first by Zhu Yunfei's strategic plan of not retreating but advancing.

But practice has proven that Zhu Yunfei’s decision was obviously the right one.

Now the main force of Jiannu is concentrated on the Songjin battlefield, and the cities in the rear are empty of troops and weak in defense. With the troops and horses they have in hand now, they are enough to cause an uproar.

Zhu Yunfei looked at the map in his hand repeatedly, desperately searching for memories in his mind to make his ideas clearer.

"Immediately move towards Shengjing. I think by this time, the soldiers and horses intercepted and pursued by Jiannu must have reached Yizhou and cut off our retreat."

After Zhu Yunfei thought about it, he clenched his fist and landed on the location of Shengjing on the map.

Shengjing is the capital of Jiannu and the current center of Jiannu. Even if Zhu Yunfei cannot defeat Shengjing.

As long as the news spread that he was leading an army to attack Shengjing, the slave army would surely be mobilized and rush to Shengjing's aid like crazy.

As long as the slave-building army moves, his opportunity will naturally come.

More than a hundred miles north of Heishan is Shengjing City.

With a full day's work, you can reach the city gates.

The most important thing is that from Heishan to Shengjing, there is only Liaobin City on the way.

Judging from the current situation, Liaobin City must also be weakly defended.

For the sake of safety, when Zhu Yunfei withdrew from Heishan City, he deliberately asked the newly joined Zhao Yue's troops, all 620 soldiers, to put on the military uniforms of the slaves.

In addition, they were all forced to cut their hair, and now they put on the Jiannu military uniforms, wouldn't they look like Jurchen soldiers?

Just as Zhu Yunfei expected, when the 620 Ming soldiers led by Zhao Yue arrived outside Liaobin City, the Liaobin County magistrate and the soldiers in the city did not doubt their identities at all.

It wasn't until Zhao Yue led his army into the city and suddenly showed off his weapons that the slave soldiers in the city, Ding Yamen, woke up like they were dreaming.

The soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yue pretended to be a slave-building team and captured Liaobin County without any blood.

This made Zhu Yunfei accidentally discover that this trick had such a miraculous effect, and he immediately came up with a bold idea.

That is to take a gamble, falsely open the gate of Shengjing, and rush into Shengjing City.

Zhu Yunfei said before that he would attack Shengjing City, but it was just to lure the slave-building army to return for reinforcements.

In this way, we can do our best to relieve the pressure on the Ming army on the Songshan front line and try to change the ending of history.

For example, he saved the life of his cheap cousin Cao Bianjiao and allowed Hong Chengchou, a big traitor, to escape from trouble and return to the court to stand trial.

After all, a Hong Chengchou who returned to the court for trial was far less harmful to the Ming Dynasty than a Hong Chengchou who surrendered.

You must know that Hong Chengchou, a great traitor, became a leader after surrendering, making suggestions for slave creation, which greatly boosted the ambition of slave creation to join the invaders.

"General, are you really going to attack Shengjing City?"

Yi Yonggui swallowed his saliva and asked with some fear in his heart.

"I'm afraid of you, I just broke into the palace and snatched his mother." Li Hu, a guy who is not stingy, shouted with joy instead of surprise.

"Yes, it just so happens that we are still short of a wife, maybe we can snatch a concubine back." Zhang Tianfu followed Zhu Yunfei all the way, and now his confidence is also swelled.

"Whatever the general says, we will do it." Zhao Yue was now wearing a Jiannu cloth armor with a yellow flag, and a helmet and gun cap on his head. He was already tall.

It's quite majestic to stand there.

"Rest for an hour, set off immediately, and try to get to Shenyang City before dawn tomorrow."

Zhu Yunfei said with a nod.

Before setting off, Zhu Yunfei rode his horse to the front of the team and glanced at the more than 1,600 soldiers who were neatly lined up.

He raised his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, Shengjing, the capital of the slaves, is ahead. I will lead you into Shengjing, kill all the slaves, and rob all the wealth of the slaves."

"Of course there are also beauties with strong drinks, they are all ours."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
