Chapter 979 (1/2)
Not long ago, Chen Zhong's deputy commander, Qianhu Zhangqiu, was led to Li Yuanqing's big tent.
Zhang Qiu reported to Li Yuanqing in detail the achievements of his trip and the surrender of the native tribes by Chen Zhongbu.
What they paid away was a large tribe with a population of nearly one thousand, which was located on the Bank of the duoerbi river.
However, although the tribe of Ayan duoding is a large tribe known as a thousand people, its actual combat strength is only two or three hundred people. It has been nearly ten years since the Jin Dynasty after the surrender, which can be regarded as the mixed blood Department of Jurchen and natives.
In fact, Daming used ”Nuzhen” to refer to the natives of Northeast China. This range is actually very wide, and many of them have been classified into the order of Nuzhen.
If we divide them carefully, I'm afraid we can still distinguish more than ten or twenty nationalities.
With Chen Zhong's excellent combat power of nearly 2000 people and basically all firearms, it is not necessary to spend much effort against these Tu people.
However, the complex terrain and bad weather in the settlement area of ayandoding brought a lot of trouble to Chen Zhong and his family.
Even though Chen Zhong was extremely well prepared, the children still paid dozens of casualties, and the number of dead in the battle was more than ten.
In particular, there were many Han women and slaves plundered by the later Jin Dynasty in the old nest of Ayan duoding. Under the dual effects, Chen Zhong was very angry and slaughtered most of the men, and almost all the men were killed.
Zhang Qiu quickly explained to Li Yuanqing: ”Li Shuai, the native of Ayan duoding tribe, is very similar to the Nuzhen Tartars. Chen Shuai Yan can reward the 600 or 700 chieftains to the imperial court.”
After Zhang Qiu finished, he looked at Li Yuanqing respectfully and carefully.
In fact, they have violated Li Yuanqing's original intention to clear up the natives
But with Chen Zhong's position, he still has the right to decide. Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not care about such a small matter.
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly. For a moment, Li Yuanqing laughed: ”when can Chen Shuai arrive here?”
At this time ~, because of the inconvenience of communication and transportation, Chen Zhong did not know the result of the imperial court at this time. Since Chen Zhong went out to the army, Li Yuanqing had not contacted Chen Zhong.
Fortunately, Chen Zhong didn't have a love for war. After he had paid up a Yan duo Ding tribe, he went back directly. Even if he had slaughtered the clan, it was still within the scope that Li Yuanqing could bear.
Zhang Qiu said respectfully: ”back to Li Shuai, there will be no accident. We can arrive tonight.”
Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, ”brother Zhang Qiu, you have worked hard. However, you can't rest at this time. I want you to find Chen Shuai's main force immediately and tell him that he must come here before tonight. I'm here to meet Chen Shuai. ”
”Yes.”
Zhang Qiu did not dare to neglect him. He kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, saluted him, and left quickly.
Watching Zhang Qiu leave, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
Chen Zhong's return is like giving Li Yuanqing a reassurance
………
When Chen Zhong was approaching Zishi, he arrived at the iron ore camp where Li Yuanqing was pinned on the mountain.
It snowed again in the afternoon. Chen Zhong had planned to camp by the river and cross the river again tomorrow. However, when he received the news from Li Yuanqing, he rushed over directly.
When old brothers meet, naturally there is not much nonsense.
Accompanied by Chen Zhong, he roasted the fire for a while, and drank some hot wine to warm himself. Li Yuanqing directly told Chen Zhong about the information he had received from the imperial court during this period.
Chen Zhong was stunned for a long time. Then he reacted and spat: ”Yuanqing, this This is to rebel! The big masters of the imperial court are trying to force us to death! Yuanqing, we can't swallow it! ”
At this time, Daisy had already warmed up a pot of mutton. Li Yuanqing said with a smile, ”brother, you should eat something to cushion your stomach. Let's talk while eating. ”
Accompany Chen Zhong to eat a lot of meat, and drink some wine, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: ”brother, this matter, what do you think?”
At this time, Chen Zhong had calmed down a lot. He had already figured out that ”people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.” the emperor, the imperial court and governor yuan are really going to attack southern Liaoning this time.
”Yuanqing, it's really hateful! We brothers, we fight for life, how many years, how many good guys, died in battle, only to return to our foundation today. The emperor and the imperial court should open their mouths like this. We can't swallow it in any case! ”
”Yuanqing, if there is one, there will be two; if there is two, there will be three! If we step back, there will be no room for our brothers in the whole Daming. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, handed Chen Zhong a cigar and lit one himself. He said slowly, ”brother, truth is really such a truth. But at this time, the emperor and the imperial court, including yuan Manzi, are in charge. We are very passive. ”
Chen Zhong took a deep breath of his cigarette butt and said, ”Yuanqing, passive, we can't bow our heads easily! This is our bottom line. We can't shake it! By the way, Yuanqing, what's the attitude of the commander. ””The commander-in-chief hasn't written back yet. I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months to hear from you. ”
