Chapter 334: Two Bearded Ones
The restraint of the Qing army made many excited Ming troops feel like a punch in the air, and they had some strength and no place to use for a while.
Yesterday's victory, all those who did not die in the big soldiers, basically entered the promotion sequence, which also made many low-level soldiers find the backbone, have goals, and want to do a big job today and perform well in front of the Son of Heaven.
But at this time, these dog Tartars actually stopped attacking the city......
Emperor Chongzhen and the others were also a little surprised, and they couldn't figure out what the Tartars were going to do for a while.
But at this time, Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
He already understood very well that if the Tartars did not move, they would have a big incident, and they were busy with the troops to strengthen their vigilance.
However, in the morning, many soldiers were still full of energy, but at noon and in the afternoon, they were basked by the warm sun, and the Qing army had no intention of making a move, and their spirits were a little wilted.
They are not elite, and they may not be able to have a drill once a month, not to mention those generals, even the big-headed soldiers at the bottom, and even the bloody big-headed soldiers, all of them are eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
It's like the prosperity is gone, and many essences are beginning to manifest themselves.
The Qing army camp, Dolgon came out to look at it for a while, then smiled coldly and continued to go back to the tent to rest and plan.
As he expected, the strategic goals of the Qing Dynasty at this time have changed!
……
"Haha, brother, I miss my brother!"
Just when the Jingshi side was in a state of confrontation, Pinggu City and Xu Changqing had already connected with the pioneers of the Guanning sequence.
The main force that rushed over first was none other than Xu Changqing's old acquaintance, Wang Tingchen, the former chief military officer of the Tun Guard!
The hour has just come out, and the sky has not yet fully brightened, and this guy is rushing, and the wind and dust that cannot be covered are like running overnight.
As soon as they met, Wang Tingchen came forward enthusiastically and gave Xu Changqing a big hug.
This guy is much older than when they were separated a year and a half ago, his face is covered with wind and frost folds, and he has a thick beard, and his eyes are no longer as swaying and hesitant as before, if it weren't for this official robe, he would be more like a bandit leader!
Goodbye to the old man, and Wang Tingchen obviously followed the strategy he left behind back then, Xu Changqing was also extremely excited, and hugged him hard, "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for many days, and your style is even more prosperous in the past!" ”
"Haha!"
Wang Tingchen laughed, of course he understood the deep meaning of Xu Changqing's words.
Although he is a lot more savage than before at this time, and he no longer has the gentle and elegant way he did back then, but in the past year or so, especially the rapid growth of field experience, he is no longer a marginal person of the Guanning family who has to rely on the two heads of the ancestral family and the Wu family, but has faintly started a sect!
"Brother, if it weren't for your on-demand broadcast back then, my brother would have been reduced to a touch of loess in Liaodi! What do you think? I heard that you are going to Shandong now, how are you doing? ”
"Hehe, it's okay. When my remnants were in Liaodong before, I still have to thank Brother Wang for taking care of me. ”
"Haha, Changqing, it's far away to tell you Brother Wang......"
While the two were chatting, Xu Changqing was also carefully observing Wang Tingchen's subordinates.
Wang Tingchen did not have many troops at this time, only more than 3,000, but they were all elite cavalry, and the equipment was also very different from the traditional Ming army, more flexible, and more like the Qing army's rangers.
However, Xu Changqing quickly noticed that not far from the royal courtiers, there was also a small number of elite horsemen, about a thousand people!
They were equally well-armed, their horses fat and strong, and their military discipline was excellent, but they were noticeably more traditional than those of the royal courtiers.
And the leader is also a bearded man, about in his early forties, his eyes are very resolute, and at first glance he is a fierce man with a strong will.
"Brother Wang, this master is ......"
Xu Changqing looked at this macho brother with a smile.
"Oh, look at my brain."
Wang Tingchen couldn't help but smile and patted his head, "Changqing, let me introduce you, this master is Zu Dabi, the deputy general of Jinzhou, and he is nicknamed Zu Maniac!" ”
As he spoke, he greeted Zu Dabi with a smile and said, "Crazy, don't you often want to meet our Xu Ye?" This is our Xu Ye! ”
Wang Tingchen's words were obviously a little frivolous, but he didn't mean to despise them, and he was obviously very familiar with Zu Dabi.
Zu Dabi didn't care, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and respectfully hugged Xu Changqing: "The last general, Zu Dabi, the deputy general of Jinzhou, has seen Uncle Zhongyi!" ”
Zu Dabi's posture was very low, and he was almost half-bowed.
Wang Tingchen hurriedly whispered to Xu Changqing: "Changqing, the second master is different from the rest of the ancestral family, he is a real man!" In those years, he once rode alone to challenge the Qing army. ”
Xu Changqing smiled and nodded, he naturally knew that Zu Dabi, Wang Tingchen's evaluation was right, this second master was one of the few true men in the ancestral family!
Busy smiled: "Second master, you are polite." Changqing has already prepared a banquet, let's go into the city and talk while eating, okay? ”
"Uncle Xie!"
Zu Dabi replied angrily, but he was obviously still wary of Xu Changqing, and he didn't even hide his distance.
But this made Xu Changqing more at ease, this master is a sincere person.
"Brother Wang, Second Master, please!"
"Haha, let's go, let's go see this Pinggu City!"
……
The originally comfortable banquet was a little embarrassing because of the existence of Zu Dabi.
However, Zu Dabi said very little, let him drink wine, let him eat vegetables, he didn't seem to have much sense of existence, and when he ate and drank, he also said goodbye and left in a regular manner, without the slightest delay.
Watching Zu Dabi leave, Wang Tingchen was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother, don't be angry with a madman, he has this temper." For more than a year, thanks to the madman's cooperation with me, otherwise, my brother's little life would have been taken away by Lord Yama. ”
Xu Changqing nodded, looked into Wang Tingchen's eyes and said, "Brother Wang, did the ancestral family also send troops this time?" ”
Wang Tingchen said: "Of course, the brothers of the ancestral family are better than monkeys, they not only sent troops, but also sent more than 10,000 fine horses!" The main force is led by the second ancestor Da Le, and he should be able to come over with Hong Du and them later. ”
Xu Changqing smiled and picked up the wine glass, signaled to Wang Tingchen, and drank it all.
There is no vanity under the fame!
The ancestral family has been able to mix up until now, and it has always been the leader of the armies on the nine sides, but it is not just luck!
Even though the Wu family has a lot of momentum at this time and seems to have suppressed the ancestral family, but if you really want to talk about the foundation, the emerging Wu family is by no means the opponent of the ancestral family!
The two drank a few more glasses of wine, and Xu Changqing listened to Wang Tingchen talk about the war and layout in Liaodi for a while, and asked: "Brother Wang, when the Tartars entered the customs this time, almost the main force was exhausted, didn't your activity area reach the line of Guangning and Sancha River?" Why didn't you find out? ”
Wang Tingchen was annoyed when he heard this: "Who doesn't talk about this, I have been wondering before." But after listening to Hongdu's military discussion in the past few days, it was only after some were confirmed. The Tartars should not have come from Quang Ninh, but on the Mongolian line! Moreover, Guan Ning's side is a little complicated, and he can't say a sentence or two. ”
As he spoke, Wang Tingchen poured a glass of wine vigorously, obviously very unhappy.
Although he didn't understand what he said, how could Xu Changqing not understand the deep meaning?
In the Guan Ning sequence, there must be a large number of people 'Tongnu'!
Moreover, the position of many people is unimaginable!
In this state, it is almost impossible to clearly grasp the context of the Qing army!
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand the reason.
Whether it is the ancestral family or the Wu family, or other large and small mountains in Guanning, they have already multiplied in Liaodong for decades or even hundreds of years, this kind of major event directly related to the rise and fall of the family, which family is not betting at both ends?
The 'rectum' who is truly loyal to the liver and courage, just like Xu Changqing's father Xu Huchen, has already been washed clean by the big waves.
The two were silent for a while, and Xu Changqing said again: "Brother Wang, what is Hong Du's thinking here?" How do we get in? ”
"Huh?"
Wang Tingchen paused for a moment: "Brother, don't you plan on this?" You shouldn't have to listen to Governor Hong now, right? ”
Xu Changqing smiled, of course he understood the deep meaning of Wang Tingchen, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, Hong Du is the guide of the younger brother." In this kind of war, even if the younger brother doesn't have to obey Hong Du's dispatch, he must listen to Hong Du's opinion. By the way, Brother Wang, when will Hong Du and the main force arrive? ”
Wang Tingchen was already a shrewd person, so he naturally quickly understood Xu Changqing's deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Hongdu should be almost here in the evening, and the main force is estimated to be late, but the main force will definitely arrive tomorrow morning at the latest!" ”
……
Drinking in the morning really made Xu Changqing very inappropriate, even if Xu Changqing was already a 'alcohol' test in later generations.
Sent Wang Tingchen to rest, drank a lot of sobering soup boiled by Wu Sanmei, and smoked most of the bags of cigarettes, Xu Changqing gradually eased up.
At this time, although many things were not explained between Xu Changqing and Wang Tingchen, the strategic alliance had been reached!
Wang Tingchen is actually a time-honored old fritter in Guanning, but compared with his ancestral family and Wu family, it is still too thin.
When Guan Ning had tens of millions of military salaries before, he didn't get much light, and he didn't even have enough small heads, not to mention that the salary had been greatly reduced at this time, and his former guards had already become an abandoned city.
Wang Tingchen came to Qinwang this time, as if he had a strong goal, and cooperating with himself is undoubtedly the best choice!
However, if you think about it, it's best to bring 'one' with you as well.
At this time, because the pattern of Songjin was rewritten, the situation in Liaodong was completely different from another time and space, but it was a bit like the big framework in the early years of Chongzhen.
But there's a lot of difference!
The first to bear the brunt is Hong Chengchou!
Unlike Inspector Yuan, who has a big heart, Hong Chengchou is more sophisticated and smooth, and he is not the kind of Inspector Yuan who can be trusted to open the river alone, although there are not many Qin troops under his command, but after more than a year, there must be at least 18,000 people.
Coupled with the many secret information revealed to Xu Changqing by Wang Tingchen, Xu Changqing was not very easy to judge Hong Chengchou's position for a while.
It must be known that the taste of power is like poison, and Hong Chengchou has a big history of history.
At this time, even if he can't stand on his own, this kind of mysterious anxiety is obviously more in line with his interests.
"Whew."
With a long breath of turbidity, Xu Changqing rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and didn't think about it anymore!
Even though there are countless ghosts and ghosts at this time, the tide is about to recede, who is not wearing the bottom. Pants, which will soon be exposed, too!
Xu Changqing lay on the bed, looking in the direction of the Jingshi in the northwest, now, just wait patiently for the news of the Jingshi!
