Chapter 107: Must chase you out

Hetuala is a big city outside the wall. If it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, it might be a third-class county, and there were no bricks and stone buildings, most of which were wood.

The cavalry withdrew, and soldiers carrying grease and gunpowder entered the city and began to pile up. The firewood stored outside the pass was originally enough to deal with the amount of years. There was no shortage of Hetuara City. When the sky was completely dark, the fire was ignited.

Soon the fire reflected the whole night sky, houses, firewood, and walls. Everything that could burn was burning. The fire was so fierce that even people who were dozens of miles or hundreds of miles could see the red light in the night sky.

After the Eastern Expedition Army set up camp at night, except for the patrol troops, there were martial law-breaking curfews inside and outside the camp. However, the soldiers in the military tent looked around secretly in the gaps, and the patrolling soldiers looked blankly. The scene in front of them was really spectacular. Everyone felt that the spring night outside the pass was so cold that it was much warmer. This must be the credit of the flames.

The city of Hetuala was regarded by everyone as the capital of the Jurchens in Jianzhou. After tonight, the capital would become completely ashes and actually participated in a battle to destroy the country. The army of the Eastern Expedition Army joined the army and the people below, and they all felt a lot of mood and could not sleep all night.

Wang Tong's commander's tent was built high in the camp. The gate of the commander's tent was facing the direction of Hetuara. Wang Tong was in the middle, and the generals of each army lined up and looked at the burning Hetuara together.

The handsome tent was also silent. The generals either lowered their heads or looked at the fire in the distance. Such a brilliant victory was obtained so easily, and it was so simple that everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Tong looked at the fire in the distance, but he was a little drunk. He seemed to be very comfortable after drinking carefreely, but the matter was not finished and it was not time to completely relax.

Everyone”

Wang Tong said something, but found that the people below did not react. He raised his voice and said again. All the generals were trembling, trembling all over, and stood up and bowed in panic. Cai Nan, who was on the side, smiled and shook his head slightly. The generals were already shocked by the scene in front of him, and they were all very awe of Wang Tong. Suddenly, they shouted and subconsciously showed it.

"From today, more than a hundred Jurchens with identities were selected from the prison camp and asked them to go to various places to report the news. The Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, and Beishan Jurchens. All the tribes who could pass the words to the Qingxiang of the Jianzhou ministry must have heard of them. I think these people have heard the result of the Jianzhou ministry's clearance. Just say that the commander's orders, if anyone who can tolerate Nurhaci and his soldiers will be punished in this way, and from today on, the surrender and the loss of the tribes will be accepted!"

Everyone bowed and listened to the order, and Wang Tong said again:

"The army of such a large scale was moving slowly and consumed food and money. In the next pursuit, our general decided to lightly wear the Tiger Power Army. Each army selected five hundred cavalry to accompany him, and the rest of the troops were stationed on the spot, clearing the countryside everywhere."

If Wang Tong had said this a few months ago, the rest of the armies would definitely not follow him. He thought that he would have gone deep into the enemy territory, and most of them were infantry. If he went there, wouldn't he seek death?

But now it is different. This is clearly a great achievement to share with everyone. If you don’t go, you will be unable to think about it. Wang Tong saw everyone’s eagerness to try and said with a smile:

"Everyone in this handsome tent is going to go. Do you understand if you select the most elite troops in your family and leave your deputy generals to guard the house?"

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

This time everyone spoke, and the answer was much louder.

The generals said goodbye, but Wang Tong went to the van carriage in the camp. Although civil servants followed this time, they did not have enough status to live in such a carriage. There were two in the army, one was General Guitan and the other was Cai Nan.

Cai Nan has a very high status in Tianjin Wei. Although he lives a simple life, he can provide wealth and support to the eunuchs in the palace at all. He has also developed some habits, such as drinking green tea produced in Laoshan Taoist Temple. This is not available at all. It is entirely the local Taoist priests who grow and drink it themselves, and it is also given to Cai Nan regularly by the sea lord Nie Shi of Laizhou Prefecture.

Wang Tong, Cai Nan and General Tan were both in this car and sent people to call Li Hutou. Wang Tong and others were here. Cai Nan took out his good tea, then prepared the charcoal stove outside, and started boiling water and cooking tea in the house.

Looking at the haggard Tan General again, Wang Tong asked with concern:

"Are the old ginseng sent to you by Dahu and Erhu have been convinced? This is a great tonic and is very good for your health."

"Thank you for your concern. My subordinates have accumulated injuries over the years. This ginseng is of no use, so don't waste it."

General Tan's voice was a little indifferent. Wang Tong sighed. He probably understood what General Tan was thinking, but he didn't make it clear and said again:

"Next, the Huwei Army will continue to pursue the northeast. If you are in poor health, you should stay in Hetuala and keep your health."

Jiang Tan just shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, he refused firmly. Wang Tong did not continue on this topic. Li Hutou also entered the carriage, greeted Jiang Tan a few words, brewed tea, and everyone sat down.

"Sanguang cleared the township and burned the city and villages. Now one-third or even more places in Jianzhou have been completely wiped out and there is no people."

Wang Tong started first, so everyone knew about it naturally. Wang Tong continued:

"Under the city of Shenyang, the Haixi Jurchens suffered heavy casualties and knew that they could not beat us. When we were so deterred, they would not have any hatred of the enemy, but they would be very scared. Nurhaci's plan was very simple, just to hide the main force and harass them with small teams. When our morale was low, he would join forces with various troops to launch a counterattack. Now he has no chance."

"Brother, can this slave chief have such a plan?"

Li Hutou asked with some confusion. He didn't think the other party would have such a judgment at that time. Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Although the barbarians are barbarians, over the past thousands of years, there will always be one or two heroic figures. Moreover, the Jurchens are also farming, fishing and hunting, and they are no different from the Han people. The Nurhaci brothers learned civil and military skills in Liao Town. Look at him, he united Jianzhou, led a large army to attack, formed an alliance with the Korqin tribe, and recruited the Jurchens in Haixi. This step-by-step arrangement is worthy of the word "heroes". But he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would be so strong that we would have our Tiger Power Army!"

After hearing Wang Tong say this, Li Hu's head unconsciously raised his chest, and Cai Nan's face was full of smiles. Wang Tong would not say something in his heart. If the Ming Dynasty did not have the powerful force of the Huwei Army, the financial resources brought by Tianjin Wei, and the strategic advantages obtained by obtaining the Guihua City, it would be hard to say what the situation would be like this time.

It is not necessarily true that the Jurchens and the G-gu will fight to the gate, but two-thirds of the land in Liao Town may be occupied by these barbarians. The western Liaoning Corridor will become a battlefield, and most of the Han people in Liao Town will become the help of the Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty will lose more and more military expenses in the border, and then there will be a chain reaction. At that time, nothing will be said.

"Nurhaci is willing to let Hetuala be the fundamental place. Even if you are forced by him from many ways, will he not continue to endure it? The road to supply is getting longer and longer. Even if the Tiger Power Army is strong, you must be careful!"

General Tan interrupted the incident and said that the food and grass consumed by the nearly 100,000 army every day was quite amazing, and even the supply of Liao Town was a bit difficult. Wang Tong attracted merchants from Liao Town to do business, which relieved a lot of military supplies.

Leading the Huwei Army to pursue the supply line will be longer, and it will have no economic appeal when moving forward, and the merchants will not follow. If there is any mistake in the supply line, it will be a big trouble.

"The big truck brought enough food and grass, and the horse team carried out another plunder along the way. It was not a big problem to support it for a month. Moreover, Hetuala is the relay place to station food and grass supplies. Some of the military forces here must be used to transport grain and maintain transportation lines. I will bring their generals by my side, so I will not be afraid that they will not be careful."

Wang Tong said with a smile, then said with a cautious look:

"If Nurhaci doesn't come out again, he will have no soil for survival in Jianzhou. The Haixi Jurchens and Beishan Jurchens dare not take him in. The power he took away will disappear. If he doesn't come out again, he will have to die in the mountains in obscurity. I don't think of Nurhaci. Such an ambitious and ambitious person will not be willing to disappear like this. If he fights to the death, it will be considered that he will die in the end."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong Youran said:

"Besides, I only led the Huwei Army of six regiments, and it was not a large army. Nurhaci should have some luck."

The combat effectiveness of the six regiments of the Huwei Army cannot be judged just by the number of people. Whoever underestimates will definitely learn a particularly painful lesson. It is not the Ming Dynasty, no, even the people of the Ming Dynasty themselves cannot imagine that this army will have such combat effectiveness. Everyone is accustomed to comparing the number of people and the number of servants. These rules are completely useless on the Huwei Army.

"What the lord said is that Nurhaci is at the end of his journey and gives him a chance to take advantage of it. He will not be unable to catch it. If he doesn't catch it, then he will slowly die."

Cai Nan was also sure what Wang Tong said. Wang Tong drank the hot tea that had turned cold on the table, let out a long sigh, and said:

"Destroy Nurhaci, the next thing is the business of the various merchant groups of the Ming Dynasty. Let them stay here and slowly erode and attack, when will they advance to the beach, and when will the north of the Ming Dynasty be completely free of border troubles."

Everyone was fascinated by the hearing, even Tan Jiang's haggard face was full of spirit, Cai Nan smiled and joked:

"If someone said this ten years ago, our family would probably laugh at him for being crazy, but today, our family believed it."

"There will be no big battle to fight then."
