Chapter 230 If you want to be a high official, you have to be bold
Before my great-grandfather died, he once said to me that the essence of civilization in this world is based on barbarism and is transformed from barbarism. If you want to keep civilization forever, civilization must always be more barbaric than barbarism.
At the critical moment, our citizens must be brave enough to take off the cloak of civilization on their bodies and reveal their inner barbaric muscles. Only in this way can the civilization of the empire be preserved forever and the military fortune of the empire will flourish forever.
Excerpted from the imperial imperial decree of the Emperor of Asahi Province, Prince Wei Sanbao of the Japanese Emperor, "The Spirit of the Great Grandpa Never Forget"
Killing slaves is not about treating guests to dinner.
These simple eight words are by no means as simple as the surface meaning. They are the complete idea of Wei Gongliangchen, the admiral and eunuch of the Ming Emperor's personal army, and are also what every officer and soldier of the newly formed Jianzhou Advance Team of the Dali Aha Defense Battalion must know.
After Du Song was killed in Jilin Cliff, more than a thousand officers and soldiers were successively in charge of guerrilla affairs under the strategic standards of the right wing battalion, and Liu Yujie, the Du Si Zhang Daji, fled to the defense camp under the leadership of the Du Si.
After Liu Yujie learned that Du Song had been killed, General Wang Xuan and others burst into tears. Soon, the entire defense camp cried.
At the critical moment, Xu Xianchun stepped forward to stop the defeated soldiers crying, and ordered his troops to rectify and restrain Jilin's retreat from defeated soldiers and promptly treat the wounded.
General Wang Xuan, Dushi Liu Yujie and others also reacted, knowing that it was not a crying sound at this time, and they asked their subordinates to obey Xu Xianchun's command. In this way, the people in the defense camp were calm.
However, given that Jilin Cliff has been defeated, Jiannu will attack at any time. Although there are thousands of people gathered in the defense camp, they are all defeated soldiers. It is impossible to resist the Jiannu army with this small defense camp. Therefore, Wang Xuan repeatedly thought about it and asked Zhou Tiexin to immediately order the entire camp to retreat from the south of the Hunhe floating bridge to Chenyang.
At this time, Xu Xianchun insisted that he could not cross the south. He told everyone that Taoism was to march into Jiannu's nest in four directions. Therefore, although Jiannu defeated me, there were still three other routes.
Therefore, Jiannu must have sent troops north to deal with the Marin tribe that came from Kaiyuan, and the Sarhu area was empty, so this time was God's best opportunity to give the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Xianchun suggested that elite forces should be organized immediately and use surprise troops to raid the remaining troops of Jiannu in Jilin Ya and Sarhu when the main force of Jiannu was advancing north. This would cause great trouble to Jiannu and restore the impact of Du Song's defeat to a certain extent.
The military supervisor Zhou Tiexin supported Xu Xianchun's suggestion, but Wang Xuan, Liu Yujie, Zhang Daji and others were doubtful about this bold idea. They were not sure whether the main force of Jiannu really went north as Xu Xianchun judged. If the facts did not match, wouldn't they finally escape and wanted a sheep to the tiger's mouth again?
Seeing that all the generals were ruling, Xu Xianchun knew that it was difficult to convince them by verbal talk, so he proposed that he organized a capable commando from the defense camp and touched Jilin Cliff after dark to find out whether the situation was as he expected.
"There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!"
Just when Wang Xuan and Zhang Daji were still discussing whether Xu Xianchun's proposal was feasible, Zhou Tiexin took out his identity as a military supervisor and ordered the general Gong Niansui to take out the 50,000 taels of silver from the governor Yang Hao to Du Song's troops before the battle, and selected 10,000 taels from them to offer a reward for recruiting death-seeking soldiers in the entire camp.
Under the stimulation of the silver reward, more than 200 officers and soldiers of the defeated soldiers took the initiative to stand out, and more than 100 combat soldiers brought by Xu Xianchun from Yizhou formed a 360-person commando.
After the team was formed, Xu Xianchun ordered the reward silver to be sent directly to the soldiers, and then equipped each person with double armor to explain the significance of going to Jilin Cliff. He repeatedly stated that he had gone voluntarily, and the matter was very risky. If he was unwilling, he should not force himself and do something that would be ruined by the person.
The soldiers of Xu's army were naturally strict, and no one retreated in the face of the 200 defeated soldiers. Most of these people were servants under the generals, and the young army was even more desperate. The army was defeated like a mountain, and they had no choice but to go with the flow and protect their lives first.
Now, it is really money and silver that can fight to the death. If you succeed, you can avenge your dead compatriots. If you fail, you will be able to run away again.
Just like that, after drinking Zhuangxing, Xu Xianchun personally led the team to set out from the camp in the dark. In order to avoid being discovered by Jiannu spies, they did not dare to ride horses or light turrets. They tied each other in the dense forest with strings of ropes and carefully groped forward.
It was only ten miles from Duli Aha to Jilin Cliff. Even if the mountain road was difficult to walk, it took one or two hours during the day to walk. However, Xu Xianchun and the others forced to walk for nearly three hours, and they had already faintly turned white to the east of Jilin Cliff.
Along the way, they did not meet Jiannu, and only met a dozen wounded Ming soldiers hiding in them in a few hidden places.
These wounded soldiers revealed a message that Jiannu did not send anyone to search for the hidden Ming army in the mountains and forests.
This message made Xu Xianchun firmly believe that he was eager to solve the problem of Jiannu from the Malin tribe on the North Road, no time to clean up the end of Sarhu.
It was like a very hungry man who suddenly had a few vegetables and buns to eat. When he was eating voraciously, he found that there was a pot of braised pork not far away. So he stopped eating the buns and went straight to the braised pork.
Xu Xianchun, who was born as a martial artist and the princess's grandson, was the first to hold a knife and touch the cliff. The death-threatening people behind him did not follow him when they saw him.
Everything was as Xu Xianchun judged. There were indeed not many Jiannu on Jilin cliffs, only two Niulu from the Red Flag were stationed. In addition, there were some Han Baoyun slaves they brought.
The purpose of these Jiannu defending Jilin Cliff was not to guard against the Ming army's attack, but to take care of the seized materials and a small number of Ming army prisoners that Shang had not yet transported back to Heituara.
These braided soldiers who were extremely lacking in sleep due to days of fighting were awakened by the shouts of killing from their ears in their sleep.
When Niu Luezhen Hada ran out of the tent, he found that Ming soldiers were everywhere on the cliff. His sons were blocked by the Ming army and chopped them up in the tent. He was shocked at that time.
The first instinctive reaction was that the main force of the Eight Banners led by King Khan was asked to defeat the Ming army in the north! Otherwise, how could the Ming army be under the nose!
Under the leadership of Xu Xianchun, the Ming army, who succeeded in the sneak attack, blocked the braided soldiers in the tent, and chopped them up, and the cliff was chaotic.
When those Han people who helped to carry the coolies found that the Ming army was coming, they all showed fear. Some wanted to use weapons to resist, but more people looked confused and then knelt on the ground.
"Unreliable man!"
Hada was so angry that he stomped his feet by the Han people Aha. These Ahamo usually only served as slaves for the armored people and helped to do auxiliary soldiers and chores during the war, but there were still a large number of people, with only three or four hundred people.
As long as these Han people Aha did not surrender, the Ming army would have to leave people to deal with them, so that Hada could still take the opportunity to organize his subordinates to fight back.
But the Han people Aha and the others were really disappointed Hada. There were hundreds of Ming troops captured by the Jin army on the cliff, all of which were relatively strong because the Jin army needed them to carry the spoils.
When the prisoners heard the movements from outside, they must have known what happened, and they did not need to take the lead and started biting each other's ropes and then fighting with the braided soldiers who were watching over them.
Hada was quite rational and knew that it was impossible for him to not run away now. However, the dozen braided soldiers around him betrayed his identity.
Xu Xianchun snatched the longbow from a braided soldier and shot a Hada's left thigh with one arrow. The crossbow arrow pierced through Hada's artery, and blood continued to surge.
Hada was in pain, and screamed and threw herself to the ground, and was cut off by a Ming soldier who rushed over.
As soon as Hada died, the panicked braided soldiers had no idea and could only run around.
A Korean husband soldier in the Ming army took a musket of a dead companion because of the blade rolled up in his hand. But he had never fired a gun before, and never thought that a blind cat hit a dead mouse. He even hit a braided soldier with one shot. The black bird hanging under the braided soldier instantly flew out of his body, causing him to faint on the spot.
The remaining soldiers were brave and brave. They did not retreat or surrender in front of the Ming army, which was much more numerous than them. They only had red eyes and roared to die with the Ming army.
However, the Ming army on the opposite side were all desperate people who survived death. They had a surprising advantage of military strength, so how could they turn the tables?
It didn't take long for the last braided soldier to fall into a pool of blood. At this time, the sky in the east was already white.
While Xu Xianchun asked someone to go back to report the news, he asked someone to rescue the captured Ming army, and at the same time ordered the surrendered Han people Aha to help clean up the mess.
On the other side of the defense camp, the general Zhou Tiexin and general Wang Xuan and others were waiting for the letter. Wang Xuan and the others had made preparations. If Xu Xianchun could not succeed, they would persuade the supervisor to cross the south immediately. If Xu Xianchun succeeded, there was really no Jiannu army in Sarhu, then they would immediately take action to capture the Jiannu checkpoints and fortresses where only a small number of braided soldiers were stationed.
During the conversation with Wang Xuan, Zhou Tiexin told the other party that he had sent someone to report to the Malin division of the North Road, asking Malin to lead his troops to retreat from Shangjianya to Sanchaer Fort, and then go east along the Hunhe River to meet them.
Wang Xuan was not optimistic about this. Although he had never met Ma Lin, he knew that this kind of general who was born in a general was very arrogant, so Ma Lin would rather fight with the main force of Jiannu in Shangjianya, and would not be able to meet with the defeated Du Songyu.
Zhou Tiexin couldn't say anything, in fact, he didn't believe that Malincoln met him and could defeat the main force of Jiannu.
Therefore, he only needs Ye He's troops to be able to follow Eunuch Wei's arrangements and advance eastward. In this way, Du Song's military supervisor may be able to be as Eunuch Wei's secret letter said two months ago, and his unparalleled achievements in establishing a state, thus rising to the top and the governor is expected to be.
"The greater the official, the greater the courage you are."
