Chapter 764: Advance to Fushun for the Moon
After taking down Qinghe Fort, the Ming army immediately headed north to Fushun Pass.
All this went smoother than they thought. He Shouyi and Qian Youren naturally could not miss such a good opportunity. Originally, they were just thinking about threatening the Qing army's back rank, but now it seems that they can completely take Fushun and cut off the Qing army's back.
The power of the Ming army is that it is much more operational than that of the Qing army. The Qing army can only defend passively, and the Ming army can adjust its strategies at any time according to the needs of the battle.
He Shouyi knew that His Majesty the Emperor had already led the army to fight in person, so the army should be about to arrive in Chenyang City?
With His Majesty the Emperor in charge, the morale of the Ming army must be very high. As long as He Shouyi and the main force of the Ming army attacked each other, there was no reason to be invincible.
Of course, the first question he needs to consider at the moment is how to take Fushun.
Unlike ordinary cities, Fushun is definitely a big city in Liaodong.
Such a city wall is extremely strong, and generally no threat is threatened by guns and cannons.
Moreover, He Shouyi did not bring cannons this time, and his ability to threaten the Qing army was really average.
Although he had the savage Jurchen replenished his troops, He Shouyi was still not overwhelmed by victory. He must be very cautious and never be blindly confident.
After all, the lives of the soldiers are in He Shouyi's hands, and his decision-making mistake is likely to directly lead to the annihilation of the entire army, which is absolutely unacceptable.
"General Qian, how should you fight Fushun City?"
In He Shouyi's opinion, Qian Youren is still very thoughtful. It is better to ask Qian Youren's opinions than other people who are worried about it.
"General He, as far as we can see, it is better to send some people to sneak into Fushun City. We should work together inside and outside to take Fushun."
"With the inside and the outside?"
He Shouyi was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about this plan. Is it really feasible?
"But if you want to get into Fushun City, you must at least go through the inspection by the guards. We are neither speaking nor having braids. It is not easy to get into it."
He Shouyi’s concerns are not unreasonable. The soldiers of the Ming army basically tied their hair. Of course, there are also some bald heads. That’s because they are bald, not because they don’t want to tie their hair.
The situation of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town under Qian Youren is basically the same.
Hair binding is something that cannot be easily changed by Han Jialang.
"Of course we are not suitable to sneak into Fushun City. We can be seen with just a look. But did General He forget the savage Jurchen?"
After Qian Youren mentioned this, He Shouyi suddenly realized it.
"So that's it, so that's it. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu because I'm in this mountain. If it weren't for General Qian's suggestions, I would still be in the dark."
"The savage Jurchen not only looks similar to the Jianzhou Jurchen, but also wears basically the same clothes, not to mention that they have braids."
Qian Youren paused and explained: "They were the habit of keeping braids when hunting, which was to prevent their hair from being scratched by branches. Later, the Jianzhou Jurchens became a Chinese version, but this habit was preserved. It can be said that there was no difference between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the savage Jurchens in this regard."
He Shouyi nodded after hearing this.
This is really God helping me.
If you want to sleep, someone is rushing to hand you a pillow. Is there anything more comfortable than this?
"Will they agree?"
He Shouyi was a little confused about this. To put it bluntly, he didn't know how hard the savage Jurchen could do.
Before, they were willing to attack Qinghe Fort and act as vanguards because Qinghe Fort was just a guardhouse after all, and the losses in attacking others were not that great.
But Fushun is a top-notch city in Liaodong.
I don’t know how many lives it will take to force an attack.
The savage Jurchens are not very large now. Are they really willing to fill so many lives for revenge?
"General He didn't ask how he knew. In my opinion, why don't you try their words first, and we won't lose money anyway."
He Shouyi nodded and said, "Okay, then let General Qian handle this matter."
Qian Youren nodded and said, "Abide by the order."
Qian Youren is good at speaking the Jurchens and has a certain understanding of the savage Jurchens, so it is naturally the most appropriate for him to come forward to communicate.
What He Shouyi has to do now is wait quietly and wait for the good news that Qian Youren has to bear.
Half a day later, Qian Youren left and returned.
"General He, they agreed."
Qian Youren brought the good news first, and then changed the subject: "But they also put forward a condition, that is, after the matter is completed, some of the benefits must be fulfilled first."
He Shouyi knew that the savage girl really had no profit to get up early, but this was normal.
People die for money and birds die for food. They are not the same type of people, and they can get together naturally because of interests.
He Shouyi drew cakes for the savage Jurchen before because he knew that His Majesty the Emperor would definitely agree with some of the conditions, and he couldn't grasp the others.
But now the savage Jurchens proposed to fulfill part of the promises after taking Fushun, which made He Shouyi a little embarrassed.
Can he really do this?
As if he saw He Shouyi's embarrassment, Qian Youren cleared his throat and said, "General He is worried that His Majesty the Emperor will blame him later. I don't think it is necessary. When today I am a sage lord who is rare in the ages, it is a perfect match for knowing people and traitors. What is loyalty and treacherous is like him. How can he blame him for being loyal and kind like you, if His Majesty is too late to use it?"
I have to say that Qian Youren's words have the elements of flattery, but He Shouyi thought it carefully and felt that it was reasonable.
At least he has confidence in His Majesty the Emperor.
From several contacts, He Shouyi could feel the feeling of a hero.
"Since that's the case, let them agree. But they can only take a part of their money first, and the rest of the conditions must be made before they can be considered after the court agrees."
In comparison, the risk of giving money is the smallest, and the rest of He Shouyi is really unable to make decisions.
Qian Youren also knows the truth. Although he will not accept the orders of the outside king, he cannot always make decisions for the emperor as a minister, so he still has to grasp the standards.
"Okay, let's go and explain this to them, and I believe they can understand it."
Qian Youren nodded slightly and said.
Negotiation has always been a matter of asking for a lot of money and paying it back locally.
If one side insists on not giving in, there is no need to continue the negotiation.
"Okay, that general is waiting for your good news. As long as the savage Jurchens can accept it, they will be ordered to disguise themselves and sneak into Fushun City."
He Shouyi was very excited. As long as he took Fushun, he would be not far from taking Shenyang.
It seems that the Ming Dynasty really wants to restore Liaodong in this way.
