Chapter 821: Why is it so powerful
As for how Xiang Minxin raised donations, maybe it relied on the connections he had accumulated in the city, maybe it was coercion and intimidation, or it was playing the emotional card: if it weren't for the soldiers and horses outside the city to come to help in time, what would be the consequences after the Tartars broke the city, and now people came to ask for something to eat......
No matter what he does, Chang Yu doesn't care and won't interfere, and he believes that Xiang Minxin will definitely do his best, and for him, this is the opportunity to atone for his sins.
And the little eunuch still has a more difficult thing to deal with, these 50,000 soldiers and horses stay in Tianjin Wei just eat, drink, and have fun and wait?
Naturally impossible!
You must know that in addition to the less than 10,000 Huang Degong troops, the remaining 40,000 troops are rookies from the Beijing camp and the personal guards.
So you have to train and train hard!
But if you want these rookies to change their faces in a short time, you must have a general with rich battlefield experience to be the head of the coach, thinking of Chang Yu's gaze, he couldn't help but look at Huang Degong.
"What are you looking at" Huang Degong blurted out almost subconsciously, and then felt inappropriate: "Why does the factory supervisor look at me like this, no!" The humble post will definitely not stay, Zhou Zongbing must be very tired from traveling thousands of miles from Taiyuan, so leave him behind."
Huang Degong raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Yuji.
"The end will not obey, and the death will not obey......" Zhou Yuji's attitude was very firm.
Chang Yu's head was as big as a drum suddenly, he didn't say anything, the two generals under his command began to tear up, in fact, he also knew Zhou Huang's thoughts, firstly, the two of them were loyal and brave and did have the intention of killing the enemy, if other generals were eager to stay, secondly, the two also had selfish intentions, that is, following the little eunuch to chase the enemy, although it was inevitable that the vicious battle was also the time of meritorious service, almost in just a few months, many people saw a doorway: the little eunuch was invincible, but all those who followed him to participate in the war made meritorious contributions!
It is said that the two of them followed the little eunuch in Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion a few days ago to fight hard with the thief army and finally repelled Li Zicheng, but they were picked up by Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing, and chased all the way to the other side of the Yellow River to build a great achievement of chasing thieves, and the two were extremely unconvinced!
Just imagine that Huang Degong went north from Luzhou Mansion, and Zhou Yuji traveled thousands of miles from Taiyuan to the east.
Even if he doesn't care about it, the morale of the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command is difficult to calm down.
Therefore, the two of them were determined to take advantage of the encirclement and suppression of Dolgon to make meritorious contributions, so as to give an explanation to those desperate brothers under their hands.
Why not keep Li Yan?
Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji tore apart for a while, no one could convince anyone, and seeing that the little eunuch had been smiling bitterly, he suddenly thought of Li Yan.
Li Yan is good at planning and training, and he was injured the day before yesterday and just stayed in the rear to recuperate and train his troops.
"No!" Chang Yu finally spoke, flatly rejecting the proposal of the two.
First, he knew that Li Yan would never agree, otherwise he would have been left in Xianghe to recuperate, and second, he needed Li Yan by his side.
Although Chang Yu is good at scheming, but he is happy to deal with Dolgon with his own strength, so many old fritters have a faint sense of being outnumbered, although Li Muxian can always make up for his leaks at critical moments, but there is no experienced Li Yan who can give him more advice.
After all, Li Yan is a professional military advisor, Li Muxian is just an amateur, and he lacks actual combat experience, and Li Yan can propose multiple countermeasures when encountering emergencies, while Li Muxian can only Chang Yu propose remedies when there is a loophole when there is a loophole, this is the gap between the two, but they are extremely important.
On the military general Chang Yu, it can be said that he is a fierce general, but the strategist ...... At the beginning, he relied on his own crossover to know the advantages of history, racking his brains and resisting alone, but with the change of historical trajectory, he also became passive and often made mistakes, at this time the strategist was extremely important, which is why he reacted so much when he learned that Li Yan was in distress, which is also the reason why Li Muxian, a wandering Taoist, was so favored by him.
At the end of the day, he needs someone to help him figure it out.
Seeing that it couldn't be forced, the proposal Li Yan was categorically rejected by the little eunuch, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji simply spread their hands, what do you like, anyway, the two of us will not stay.
Of course, if Chang Yu used a military order to force the two of them, he would have taken the order, but he also informed the two of them that they were enthusiastic, and Zhou Huang and Zhou Huang were both veterans with rich experience in the battlefield, and daring to fight was an extremely important right-hand man.
The big guy can't move, so it's not enough to leave one of his subordinates to train here. The authorities were fascinated, but in the end, it was Li Muxian, a Taoist from Youfang, who broke the situation.
Chang Yu was suddenly embarrassed, how could he have drilled the tip of the horns, Zhou Huang and his subordinates were all fierce generals who fought with him in the south and the north, whether it was marching or fighting, they were experienced and experienced, and it was more than enough to leave the training soldiers.
So after a little discussion, Zhou Yuji left his subordinate general Niu Yong, and Huang Degong's subordinate general Zhang Jie was responsible for training troops in Tianjin Wei to form a defensive line, so as to meet the attack when the Qing army returned to the north.
After noon, after the resettlement was completed, Chang Yu led the main cavalry force to cross the camp to the south to chase the enemy, and took all the grain and grass away, after all, after Tianjin, the logistics of the capital were beyond the reach of the whip, and then south had to be solved by themselves.
As for how to solve the problem, Chang Yu already has a plan in his heart, there is still enough grain and grass on hand for three or five days, and he can almost reach Shandong, and he will have to beg for food at that time, but he has already thought about repeating his old tricks like in Datong and Taiyuan.
Target the King of De in Jinan!
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), the Qing army broke Jinan, and the German king Zhu Youshu was captured and lost the news, and a year later his cousin Zhu Youli succeeded to the throne, which was the last German king of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Qing army looted the Dewang Mansion when the Qing army broke Jinan City four years ago, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it should be no problem to donate some grain and grass, Chang Yu believes so in his heart, but he is not too worried about the future of grain and grass, he believes that with the shadow of the former King De, Zhu Youli and the people of Jinan City will try their best to support him.
After the Qing army entered Shandong, it was bound to plunder, Chang Yu planned to use Jinan as a base to entangle with it, so that it had no time to focus on plundering and forcing it to go north to get out of the pass, and give him another heavy blow in Tianjin on the way.
This is the agreement of the little eunuch and Li Yan and Li Muxian, in short, to concentrate on the Qing army at the moment, and put aside the rest of the cumbersomeness.
The main force of the cavalry crossed the river, and the little eunuch was lying in the car looking at the roadside scenery, and the little Taoist boy stared at him on the opposite side full of curiosity: "Brother Daguan, are the Tartar soldiers very powerful?" ”。
Chang Yu, who was in a trance, smiled bitterly and withdrew his gaze from the car window: "It's very powerful."
"Then you're even more powerful," said the little Taoist with a grin.
"Oh, what's wrong with me?" Chang Yu was praised by a little kid and felt a little uncomfortable, and a little confused.
"I heard the master and those generals say that the Tartars are very powerful, but you can beat the Tartars everywhere, so aren't you even more powerful, and they said that in previous years, there was a big official who fought the Tartars outside the gate for two years and failed, but you not only beat the Tartars but also the thieves in a few months, but it was very powerful" Xiao Daotong's face admired, three or four-year-old children's language organization skills are not particularly good, but the little eunuch has already heard it clearly.
It must have been listened to by Li Muxian, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others when they talked about themselves in private, but a few people were not criticized, and their words were full of appreciation for Chang Yu.
The so-called big officials in previous years must have said that Hong Chengchou led the most elite Ming army with a total of 130,000 soldiers to confront the Qing army outside the pass for two years, but in the end, he lost the last bit of capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Perhaps Li Muxian's appreciation of Chang Yu is actually more of a puzzle, why is Hong Chengchou's kind of big guy like a fierce general, who wants soldiers and food but has been pulling with the Qing army outside the gate for two years without success, but the little eunuch has always done it when he gets to the ground, and he wins when he does it, and the work of half a month is never delayed to a month, why is this!
They don't understand, but the people in the court understand but won't admit it: Hong Chengchou was defeated by the court and was restrained everywhere.
In the face of the judgment of the situation, the imperial court often tears for months before making a decision, but the battle situation is changing rapidly, and even Hong Chengchou can't be the master of the front-line battle situation, and the eunuchs sent by Emperor Chongzhen to supervise the army are brainless but like to point fingers, and even dare to overstep their authority to transfer troops to mess around, and then even the imperial court doesn't know what the situation on the front line is, so it keeps ordering you to rush me, rush hard.
But once it came to the critical moment, everyone, including the emperor, hesitated, no one was willing to give orders, and they were unwilling to resist responsibility, and they passed the buck and pulled each other endlessly, delaying the fighter.
Although the little eunuch is not as experienced as Hong Chengchou in terms of battlefield experience and behavior, he has taken advantage of the time and place.
He is the commander of Dongchang and the overseer appointed by the emperor, how to fight, how to fight, when he is up to him, and he is responsible for what happens, no one in the court dares to point fingers indiscriminately, otherwise you will do it, and this gang will be cowardly.
The soldiers are adjusted by themselves, the grain and grass are raised by themselves, how to decide by themselves, and Emperor Chongzhen bet on him with all his might, giving him unprecedented autonomy, so that he has no worries, and there is no trouble of constraints, and he concentrates on fighting, and the thinking of later generations is not as rigid as the ancients of the world, and he does not use extraordinary means to deal with problems, and even uses everything to achieve the goal, so that he has today's achievements.
