Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Goshawk
Nurhachi also launched a war - just when the news that the local barbarians gathered hundreds of thousands of people and formed a camp hundreds of miles away, and planned to invade Liaodong on a large scale, reached his ears, he made up his mind: "This is a good idea. The timing must be grasped accurately!"
He believed that if the barbarians invaded, the Ming Dynasty would inevitably send heavy troops to guard Liaodong, and would also fight for a long time with the barbarian army in Liaodong; So he just took advantage of the opportunity of "two tigers fighting each other, and there is no time to care about each other", and strengthened his own strength.
This set of "fisherman's profit" strategy, he had learned as early as nineteen years old when he started to enter and leave Li Chengliang's mansion - at that time, one of the methods that Li Chengliang was best at using to attack the enemy was to provoke a conflict between two enemies. The contradictions and conflicts between them caused them to fight, and he took advantage of the two enemies fighting to reap the benefits; In his method of annihilating and destroying the enemy——
The past came back to his heart, and his emotions became a little more excited. The sense of mission in his heart once again spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body, and the blood in his whole body was burned instantly. He shouted to himself He wrote: "I was born to bring order to peace and stability—grandfather and father will not die in vain, and every drop they shed reminds me that I must lead all the Jurchens to the road of prosperity!"
Fifteen years have passed by the count; for these fifteen years, he has been working hard all the time to win the fight—but he still feels burned all over because of the strong impact of his inner voice , Pain all over his body, so he simply took a big stride and rushed out of the house, without ordering the guards to lead the horse, he ran out of the gate by himself, and pulled a horse tied outside the gate, regardless of whether it was Whoever wants to fly up.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a child voice full of excitement called out to him: "Ama——"
At first glance, it was Huang Taiji, still holding a small bow and arrow in his hand, as if he was practicing archery outside the door just now, and he wanted to praise him a few words, but his emotions were all agitated, When he was soaring, he didn't want to speak; so he simply bent over, hugged Huang Taiji with one arm, and then flew onto the horse.
He put Huang Taiji's back against his chest, and the father and son rode the same horse, galloping against the flying snow.
In the middle of winter, the sky and the earth are all silvery white, and the wilderness is even more vast and majestic, and it is so beautiful that it is heart-pounding; Nurhachi galloped wildly, and the blood in his whole body was violently pulsating, but the pain of the fire gradually dissipated, and he galloped away. After most of the day, his mood gradually calmed down; but Huang Taiji encountered the first unforgettable experience in his life——riding a tall horse with his father, galloping forward in the roaring wind and snow, Leap through the magnificent heaven and earth together——
The wind and snow hit his face and body, but he didn't feel cold at all; he was so close to his father, he could clearly feel his father's heartbeat, and he could also clearly feel the heat of his father's breathing—— He feels warm.
Therefore, although his childish face closed his mouth subconsciously because he was facing the wind and snow, his mouth naturally raised upwards, forming a pleasant line, and when the horse stopped, he was caught by Nurhachi. When the strong arms wrapped around the horse, he also felt that he stretched his arms around Nu Erhachi's neck.
But Nuharchi couldn't help feeling hot in his heart, and even the corners of his eyes were slightly sour; he remembered that when he was young, his father had done similar actions, and even his grandfather, who personally carried him on and off the horse, taught him various martial arts ;Now, holding my son in my arms, standing on the snow, I almost burst into tears!
He let out a long breath, and simply walked with Huang Taiji in his arms; he walked aimlessly, and Huang Taiji also obediently kept silent, only leaning his cheek against his, and then Follow him forward, there is no distance between father and son.
As he was walking, suddenly, a whirlwind passed over his head, and with a loud "hoo", Huang Taiji immediately shouted: "Ah—Eagle!"
Sure enough, it was a goshawk that flew over the two of them at low altitude, flapped its wings and made a loud noise, then circled and flew into the sky; Huang Taiji was no stranger to eagles—he had a lot of them at home. They are all used for hunting, but this eagle appeared unexpectedly, which caused him to call.
But Nurhachi stopped because of this, looked up at the goshawk soaring in the sky, watched it break through the wind and snow, fly higher and farther, and slowly become a small black spot in his sight, Then the whole thing disappeared; he could see clearly, his eyes were looking at the high and far sky, and his heart was also soaring in the vast and boundless sky; it took him a long time to come back to his senses, watching Huang Taiji treat him Said: "Has your mother told you the story of the eagle?"
"No—Emiang only told me stories about people, there are great heroes and saints—but she never talked about eagles!"
Nurhachi smiled and said, "Then, Ama will tell you a story about an eagle. Do you like it?"
Huang Taiji clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I like it—I like it. The eagle that Ama talked about must also be a heroic eagle. I like to hear it!"
Nurhachi was surprised, tilted his head and asked, "How do you think the eagle Ama mentioned is a heroic eagle?"
Huang Taiji answered him solemnly: "Er Niang said that Ama is a hero, and everything she does is a hero's work; then, the eagle that Ama wants to talk about is of course a heroic eagle!"
Nurhachi laughed and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, Ama will tell you the story of a 'heroic eagle' - do you know that hundreds of years ago, one of the ancestors of our Jurchens appeared? Great hero, because of an eagle named 'Haitongqing', all the Jurchens have been united and a great country and dynasty have been established!"
He asked Huang Taiji this question, of course Huang Taiji shook his head; so he went on to say: "The surname of this great hero is Wanyan, and his name is Aguda—"
He told Huang Taiji the story that happened among the Jurchens hundreds of years ago in simple language: At the end of the Liao Dynasty, Emperor Tianzuo was licentious and innocent, obsessed with hunting. The Ministry paid tribute to the famous eagle "Haitongqing" that must be used to catch swans every year; it made the Jurchen Ministry unbearable, so they rebelled under the leadership of the Minister Wanyan Aguda, and finally defeated Liaoche, eliminated the Liao Dynasty, and established the Jin Dynasty. towards.
For a piece of history, he said it in an extremely simple way to suit Huang Taiji’s age, but Huang Taiji forgot to blink his eyes, and listened intently until the story was finished, he was still in a daze—that appearance was similar to that of Huang Taiji. His expression was very much like his own when he was young, so Nurhachi reached out and touched his cheek, and asked him expectantly: "Huang Taiji, do you also want to be a hero like Wanyan Aguda when you grow up?" ?”
Hearing his father's question, Huang Taiji came back to his senses, and after vigorously nodding his head twice, his little face turned red, and he replied solemnly: "Yes. A hero like Yan Aguda - also want to be a hero like Ama!"
Hearing this answer, Nurhachi's heart was aroused with warm currents, and many complicated feelings were mixed. While making many voices in his heart, he also gave Huang Taiji a thumbs up in a gratified tone. Praise: "Good! Good boy! Ambitious! You are worthy of Ama's 'Huang Tai Chi'!"
But on this night, after everyone including Huang Taiji fell into a dream, the voice in his heart was so passionate that it shook every drop of blood in his body—he sat alone under the lamp, facing the Your own voice and feelings.The prosperity seen during the day appeared again and again in front of my eyes. It was an eagle soaring in the wind and snow between the sky and the earth, flying high into the sky.
"Jurchen Wanyan Aguda—Genghis Khan of Mongolia—"
When everything is silent, the historical heroes in his mind are no longer stories to tell his children, but a role model for himself—he has not forgotten himself many years ago, and he was once the same as Huang Taiji , looking forward to being a big hero when I grow up.
Therefore, his emotions calmed down, and his sense of mission became stronger; he no longer ran out excitedly, but told himself clearly: "I was born to stabilize chaos in Anbang—"
Then, he began to fall into thinking and work with a high degree of rationality—before dawn, he completed a new campaign plan.
The goal of this campaign was set on Anchuraku Road—the purpose was actually to give Ye Hebu a warning.
It turned out that Anchulaku Road originally belonged to Jianzhou, but recently under the operation of the Yehe tribe, it began to move closer to the Yehe tribe; moreover, the information he collected also showed that the Yehe tribe has recently been actively carrying out Taking some actions that are not conducive to Jianzhou, especially to win over some small ministries that originally belonged to Jianzhou, and Mongolia, which has begun to establish diplomatic relations with Jianzhou-all kinds of news show that the Yehe tribe has begun to move around again .
"Maybe, Ye He's tribe is ready to start a big war—"
He is clear in his heart. Even on the day when Gule Mountain was defeated, the Yehe tribe never gave up their ambition of annexing Jianzhou; they have been quiet for several years, and even sent envoys to make peace and marry them with a daughter. It's because the Yehe tribe has no ability to start another war for the time being; now, after a few years of rest, the Yehe tribe probably thinks that their strength has been raised enough and they can take action.
Thinking about it, he clenched his fists subconsciously: "Bring back Anchu Lakulu first, and show Ye He some color!"
He also has a plan for the chief general of the expedition. The candidates are his younger brother Bayara and his eldest son Chu Ying; Bayara is steady and brave, and he has great confidence in this younger brother; After all, he is an "adult" after all, and he should have practiced in many ways-the next day, he found the two of them and assigned them this task, and specifically asked Chu Ying: "Follow Uncle Wu, and everything will be heard In addition to his command, you have to lead the way, the more dangerous the place, the more you have to fight ahead of others, and the better you get, you have to wait for others to get it - the more you are my son, the more you must understand this truth ; and when you can really achieve this point, I will let you lead the troops to fight alone!"
Chu Ying hurriedly said "yes" to him respectfully, and then followed Bayara to order troops and prepare everything needed for the war-three days later, the two uncles and nephews led a thousand soldiers and set off.
As they expected, the war went very smoothly; Jianzhou's army captured more than 20 villages on Anchulaku Road with great force, and all the people who conquered them returned soon. .
However, the war in North Korea, which is just across the Yalu River from Liaodong, was fierce and caused countless casualties. Countless lives were lost from land to sea——
Under Xing Jie's vigorous planning, the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty combined with the North Korean official army and civilian rebels began to launch an active offensive against the Japanese army. The goal of the first stage was to recover Pyongyang.
The war was delayed until the beginning of September. In the first battle, the two sides faced each other in Jishan. The first to fight was Jiesheng, the deputy commander under the command of Magui, who met the troops of Hidemoto Mori and Nagamasa Kuroda from Japan; Jiesheng The troops were divided into three associations, left and right covered and killed, and a big victory was won; the next day, a larger-scale war unfolded on the outskirts of Pyongyang City.
The combined armies of the Ming and the Dynasties were divided into three groups, each attacking three sides of Pyongyang. The mobilized number of men and horses was of course magnificent, and the armors reflected thousands of silver lights under the scorching sun. The raised silt piled up into layers of yellow mist; the Japanese guarding the city erected various flags, spears, and knives on the city—among the thunderous shouts of killing, the Ming army took the lead in firing artillery, "Boom!" ", almost collapsed a corner of the city wall; then, not to be outdone, the Japanese army released rockets and projectiles; in an instant, the smoke and flames filled dozens of miles, and the killing sound was like thunder, shaking everything else in the world. All covered up.
An hour passed, and the two sides fought inextricably. At this moment, the army of the Ming Dynasty was helped by the heavens—a westerly wind suddenly blew up in the sky. Of course one side took advantage of it—the strong wind rushed into the city with gun smoke, and the fire was so strong that the city was on fire everywhere. Xi Xingchang had no choice but to lead his cronies to escape; after the Ming army launched another artillery attack, the few remaining Japanese troops who resisted were all wiped out.
The victory of this battle boosted the hearts and morale of the Korean people, so the wars in various places continued all the way, and the cities that had been occupied for seven years began to recover one by one.
However, the scope of Xing Jie's planning and responsibility is still to annihilate the main force of the Japanese army. After the Japanese army retreated from Jishan and Pyongyang, they retreated to the sea, but they were intercepted and killed by the naval forces he sent in conjunction with the elite Korean navy.
In November, a fierce naval battle took place in Luliang.
The Ming army was led by Chen Lin, and the Korean naval army was led by Yi Sun-shin. They were divided into left and right armies, and they lay in ambush between Puyu and prepared for battle. At night, more than 500 Japanese warships came from Guangzhouze as the information indicated. When they sailed to the surface of Luliang Sea, the two ambushing armies broke out from left to right, scattered the entire Japanese boats, and threw a large number of torches to burn the Japanese boats. Unable to support Deripan, he withdrew into Guanyinpu Port.
After daybreak, the Japanese army saw the situation in the port clearly and considered that there was no way out, so they had to bite the bullet and fight. So the two sides launched a desperate battle, killing the entire sea red——
Although Yi Sun-sin and Chen Lin were determined to wipe out the enemy, the Japanese army was dying, and both sides fought with all their strength; especially the famous North Korean general Yi Sun-sin, who was in the internal struggle of the North Korean government several times, and almost became political enemies. Fortunately, he returned to lead the army, but his mood was still filled with grief and indignation. When he encountered the invading enemy army, his agitation in his heart became even more vented, and he took the lead even more; he personally shot the enemy, strong and vigorous Under the cover of the choppy white waves, his figure became more and more like a god, which made the Japanese soldiers feel terrified and fearful, and most of them did not dare to confront him; thus, these people and boats turned to surround him Chen Lin surrounded the main warship where Chen Lin lived like an iron barrel.
Chen Lin had experienced hundreds of battles, and faced with such a siege, he did not mess up his position at all. He calmly responded to the battle, ordered the soldiers to stand still, and clamored to attack with cannons; They lay down under their shields, and waited until the Japanese army thought that the Ming army had been hit by a projectile, and when they crossed the boat to attack, they all jumped up, killing half of the Japanese army and falling into the water; then, he ordered the troops to withdraw and suspend the attack, and waited until the Japanese army became suspicious. However, he gave an order and fired tens of thousands of rockets. As soon as they hit the Japanese ships, they caught fire and burned countless Japanese ships.
And Li Shunchen also fought hard to kill the enemy, and joined hands with Chen Lin in a bloody battle. His archery skills were excellent, and he saw a large ship among the Japanese ships with three Japanese generals commanding the battle on it, so he concentrated his target on that The building boat rushed forward, and when he got close, he shot an arrow with all his strength, and hit the head of a Japanese general. When he fired, his soldiers cheered, and the morale once again rose to the peak.
However, in this way, it also attracted the Japanese ships to rush to surround him and surrounded him. Chen Lin fired the cannon and smashed several Japanese ships to break the siege. , He was unfortunately hit by a Japanese projectile in his right armpit.
His body shook for a while, but he managed to straighten up and still maintained a standing posture, while blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain; the soldiers on the left and right came to help him when they saw it, but he only ordered people to use shields to cover him. Holding his lower body, he tried his best to order: "The battle is urgent now, don't tell me about my death, so as not to affect—"
Before he finished speaking, he was out of breath, but his eyes were wide open, and he was still alive; the guards on the left and right understood his intentions, and knew the severity, so, according to his instructions, treat him as if he was still alive, and still treat him with his strength. The flag commanded and supervised the battle——It wasn’t until the end of this war that the North Korean Navy, which had won a great victory, learned of the bad news. Therefore, the whole army was ashamed——
At noon, in the middle of the day, the Luliang naval battle wiped out the main force of the Japanese navy, sank more than 300 ships, and killed more than 20,000 people—this was the last battle of the Japanese invasion of Korea.
