As soon as they heard this, everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Mingwei.

All the busyness nowadays is based on the premise that the thieves will come to open the seal. Chen Yongfu is right, what if the first-class thieves don't come?

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "It's possible!" But what does it matter? If the thieves don't come, Kaifeng is our base camp and a place where grain and grass are stored. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the others and said confidently: "I learned from the captives that the thieves are no longer thieves, and they will also send people to rule the fallen cities. I guess at this time, they won't be wandering around like before, and they will come to us for a decisive battle. ”

In the original history, Li Zicheng heard that the imperial court officials and soldiers who rescued Kaifeng gathered in Zhuxian Town, which was 180,000 horses at that time, claiming to be 500,000. Both in reality and in claim, it is far more than his current army. But even so, Li Zicheng's final decision was to concentrate the main force, take the initiative to face the battle, and go to Zhuxian Town to defeat the imperial court officials.

Hearing Guogong's analysis, the generals below couldn't help but think about it, today's thieves are indeed not thieves!

Seeing that they were thinking, Zhang Mingwei said again: "In addition, if you don't collect and scatter it at night, you are not investigating the storage place of the thieves' grain and grass and the place where their families are settled. If you can find it, you will be able to save the enemy. ”

Qiao Wannian, who died in the war before, attacked the resettlement place of Li Zicheng's family under the ventilation of the local squire, forcing Li Zicheng to rush to the rescue. Originally, it was to ambush and encircle Li Zicheng and fight a big victory. As a result, his generals did not listen to the dispatch, and even rushed to escape after Li Zicheng's army arrived, and as a result, he was killed.

At this time, when the generals heard that the prince knew everything, they no longer had doubts. For Chen Yongfu, he wished that the thieves could come to Kaifeng again, so that he could participate in the war under the command of Guogong.

As a bystander, he saw it. Although the army led by the Guogong is far less than the army of the thieves in terms of quantity, the subordinates of the Guogong are all elite, and all the generals obey the Guogong, and no one dares to disobey them. This is a prerequisite for being able to fight and win a war.

If you fight under the command of the national prince, you don't have to worry about the merits you have made will be claimed by others, and your promotion will be rapid.

However, he didn't believe that Li Zicheng's troops would come to Kaifeng City and continue to hit him head-on. Therefore, he saw that Guogong was in a good mood, so he said to Zhang Mingwei: "Guogong, there will be a dog in the end, and all eighteen kinds of martial arts are okay, especially archery skills, which have the potential of being better than the blue." He has admired the Duke of the Kingdom for a long time, and is willing to fight on the battlefield under the command of the Duke of the Kingdom and serve the country loyally! ”

When the others heard this, they all smiled knowingly. This Chen Yongfu really has a vision.

It was Bai Guangen, who immediately remembered his son who was captured by Jianlu in the previous Battle of Songjin, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately remembered that there was a saying in later generations that Li Zicheng's eye was not shot blind by Chen Yongfu, but by his son Chen De.

Now, of course, he knew that Chen Yongfu had shot him blind. However, whether it was shot by his son Chen De in the legend, or recommended by Chen Yongfu himself, it shows that his son's ability is also very strong. However, it is a pity that there was no fame in history in the end.

Thinking so, Zhang Mingwei said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will meet you, and if you can, you can be a personal guard by my side for the time being!" ”

As soon as he heard that he was a personal guard by Guogong's side, Chen Yongfu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, which also made other generals envious, and secretly hated his mother-in-law in his heart for being so uncompetitive, why didn't he have a son to serve as a personal guard for Guogong?

In a relaxed atmosphere, Zhang Mingwei suddenly became serious again, and said to them: "If you look at it according to previous experience, July and August are the rainy period in the Central Plains, and when you are training, you must be prepared to fight on rainy days. ”

In fact, there has already been a rain, and in the last few days, although it has not rained, it has only been sunny for one day.

When the generals heard this, they were surprised for a moment, and then they all responded. They all thought in their hearts, it seems that Guogong is really thinking about things comprehensively!

After the meeting was dismissed, Zhang Mingwei himself had a few ideas about fighting on a rainy day, so he was also busy deploying.

At this time, he naturally didn't know that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's troops were already gathering the main force and leading the troops north to Kaifeng for a decisive battle.

However, it is estimated that it will not take much time, and the news can be detected without receiving it at night.

………………

Just when the Kaifeng War was about to break out again, far away in Shenyang, Liaodong, although the condition of the slave chief Emperor Taiji was unstable, but he had improved a lot these days, so he discussed in the Chongzheng Palace, and the first thing was to ask Fan Wencheng: "Why hasn't there been any news from the people sent to Zhangjiakou?" ”

If it was in the past, even if people were not sent to Zhangjiakou, it would have been more than two months since the end of the Songjin War, and those Jin merchants should have sent people to Liaodong a long time ago.

Fan Wencheng was also strange, and when he saw Huang Taiji asking, he hurriedly replied: "The slave has already sent someone to Zhangjiakou again, according to the time, it is estimated that there will be a reply in the next few days!" ”

Duoduo, who played with Fan Wencheng's wife, heard this, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Don't you know the importance of those Jin merchants' grain and grass to my Qing Dynasty?" Why did you send people casually before and delay things, can you be guilty? ”

After the Battle of Songjin, which lasted for half a year, the siege battle that consumed the most grain and grass materials was still used by the Jianyu, so their material reserves were almost exhausted. Although there were also Han slaves cultivating grain fields in Liaodong, they were far from meeting the needs of Jianlu. The grain sold to Liaodong by Jin merchants is extremely important.

In the face of Duoduo's questioning, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to slack off, because he knew that if he provoked Duoduo to anger, believe it or not, he would go back and rob his wife and humiliate him, anyway, there would be nothing to do with Duoduo, at most he would be reprimanded and fined him or something.

"The man whom the slave sends is the trusted man of the slave! The minion felt that something was going to be delayed! ”

Duoduo just looked at him unpleasantly and looked for him, so it was impossible for him to forget it: "You dog slave still dare to quibble, do not do things effectively, and delay the major affairs of my Qing Dynasty, what should you be guilty of?" ”

The other princes of Jianyu, Baylor, looked at Duoduo and was obviously looking for trouble, but no one persuaded him at all. In their opinion, one is a prince and the other is a dog minion, and their status cannot be the same at all, so don't be too normal with a few reprimands.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the main seat, did not stop it immediately. Because he was not satisfied, Zhangjiakou's food was a big deal, and even if something was delayed, he should have sent someone back to report the news, but no. Therefore, he thinks that he should be too good to Fan Wencheng to do his best. It would be good to have Duoduo beat him up.

It wasn't until Fan Wencheng was forced to sweat by Duoduo that Huang Taiji opened his mouth and said lightly: "Okay, I believe that Fan Qing can do things." Since these two days can pay off, I'll wait another two days to see! ”

When Duoduo heard this, he snorted heavily at Fan Wencheng, who was sweating profusely, and stopped talking.

Huang Taiji then turned his head to look at Ji'er Harang and asked him, "Ning Jin, how is the situation?" ”

In the past, it was Jierharang who was in charge of the Jinzhou area of Ningyuan, and at this time, he had just returned to Shenyang under order. Hearing Huang Taiji's question, Ji'er Harang immediately replied respectfully: "The Ming army did not come out of the Shanhai Pass, and the subordinate brother tried to attack the Guangning Zhongqian Station, and the Ming army had no intention of giving up. However, judging from the current situation, they have no intention of recapturing Ningyuan. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then said, "The younger brother also arranged for someone to plant the grain fields from Ningyuan to Jinzhou. If the harvest is good, it should be able to replenish most of the grain and grass needs of the two cities of Ningyuan. However, there is one thing that needs extra attention. ”

"Oh, which point?" Huang Taiji heard this, so he hurriedly asked.

He understood that Zilharang was the most stable prince, and he said that if there was something that needed extra attention, it would definitely be something that needed attention.

The other princes apparently thought the same thing, and they all listened with their ears pricked up.

I heard Ji'er Harang say: "The Ming army on Juehua Island outside Ningyuan City has not withdrawn. The younger brother thought that they would probably have a plan. ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Indeed, if this Juehua Island still has to be uprooted, otherwise, whether it is from the sea when the Ming army counterattacks, or Juehua Island sends troops to invade the Ningjin line, it is a matter!" ”

Speaking of this, he saw the surprised expressions on the faces of Gongshun Wang and the others, and he knew what they were thinking, so he changed his words and continued: "Anyway, in the short term, the Ming army has just withdrawn, and even abandoned the important town of Ningyuan. In the short term, the Ming army will definitely not go out again. Therefore, after the winter freezes, let Ningyuan City send troops to defeat Juehua Island! ”

Jianyu has never been to the sea, and the only landing island to fight is to capture Phi Island and uproot this henchman.

No matter which Jian, including Huang Taiji himself, because after going to the sea, it is not their advantage, if these Han people who surrendered to the past have crooked thoughts, the consequences are unimaginable.

As for the loyalty of the Han people, because of the incident of Liu Aita, it was like a thorn in Jianyu's heart, even if they were very loyal on the surface, in fact, they still had precautions in their hearts.

It is also for this reason that Huang Taiji did not strictly prohibit his clansmen from provoking the Han people. For example, Duoduo vs. Fan Wencheng, in Huang Taiji's view, there is still to be a necessary beating.

Huang Taiji was thinking about it, when suddenly the guards outside the palace came in and told him that Fan Wencheng's family had an urgent matter outside the palace to find Fan Wencheng.

As soon as he heard it, Fan Wencheng guessed that it was probably sent back to Zhangjiakou.
