Chapter 292: The Battle of the East River
The people in the imperial study were stunned, Sun Chengzong also glanced at Shen Yongmao unexpectedly, turned to Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, this is a good way, with the Longxiang army, Jiannu will inevitably scruple, as long as the Dongjiang army holds for ten days and half a month, Jiannu will be cold and frozen, and the grain and grass will be insufficient, so they will inevitably retreat."

'It's nice to have someone to help......
Zhu Xu sighed with emotion in his heart, and said: "Well, Sun Ge Lao, you come to arrange, the military department will co-ordinate, no matter what, Dongjiang Town can't be lost!" ”
"Yes!"
Sun Chengzong also knew that at the critical moment, he was in a hurry, and in the imperial study, he began to give orders and arrangements to the three members of the military department.
"Order, Wu Yongxian, the governor of Jizhou, sent people into Duoyan, Xu 300,000 taels of silver, and ordered the north to attack the Inner Khalkha Department to which Jiannu belonged."
"Fate, Zhao led the right tun to attack Xiping Fort, Zu Dashou crossed the Daling River and attacked Guang/Ning."
"Ordered Lu Xiangsheng to reorganize the army and transport it to Pyongyang with the Deng/State Water Division."
"Order Mao Wenlong, defend the righteousness/state/iron/mountain, and the two cities cannot be lost."
"Then the Ministry of War will send a letter to Huang Taiji, and the request for peace can be discussed."
……
Zhu Xu stood there, listening to Sun Chengzong's arrangement, without interrupting a word.
It wasn't until he finished speaking that Zhu Xu turned to Cao Huachun and said, "When will Qin Yiming arrive in Beijing?" ”
Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, there is still one day to come." ”
Zhu Xu looked at the map and thought, "Send a message to Qin Yiming, let him travel lightly and enter Beijing quickly, Lu Xiangsheng will not move first, and transfer Qin Yiming to Pyongyang." ”
Sun Chengzong listened and wanted to object, but it would take a while for Lu Xiangsheng to reorganize the army, so it was better to directly let Qin Yiming's Xiong Qu army board the ship in Tian/Jinwei.
After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he continued, "Send a message to the king of Joseon, Li Liang, I will give him 500,000 taels, and order him to gather another 30,000 troops and hand them over to Qin Yiming for training. ”
Cao Huachun bowed down and said, "Obey." ”
However, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor meant.
Zhu Xu stared at the map, not daring to be careless.
One after another decrees were issued from the celebrant supervisor, and Da Ming knew nothing except for the vigorous and resolute military department, which scared Shen Yang a lot.
In just half a day, a series of actions in the Ming Dynasty reached Huang Taiji's desk.
Huang Taiji called Fan Wencheng and Dai Shan into the palace overnight.
Huang Taiji sat on the golden bed, frowned and said to the two, "Shang Kexi of Guang/Lu/Island went ashore and went north; Geng Zhongming of Pi/Island, Kong Youde went out of Pi/Island and reinforced Tie/Mountain, Yi/Zhou. The Dorot division of the Mongol Chahar also moved north, threatening Yizhou. The front line of the Southern Ming suddenly sent troops, crossed the Daling River, and advanced to Guang/Ning; It is said that the sailors of Deng/Zhou also moved, and it seems that they are going to cross the sea and go north. ”
He synthesized the information from all over the place, said slowly, and finally looked at the two of them and wondered, "Nanming, what is this going to do?" ”
Dai Shan also frowned, the Ming Dynasty has been weakened for a long time, and the defense is already overwhelmed, this time with such a big move, is it possible that you still want to go on another Northern Expedition?
Fan Wencheng sat there, pondering for a long time, then suddenly stood up, bowed down and bowed: "Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan!" ”
Huang Taiji was stunned and said, "Where does the joy come from?" ”
Fan Wencheng stood upright and smiled, and said, "Great Khan, the Ming Dynasty is rotten and financially constrained, not to mention last year's 300,000 army, just this year's tax silver is only a million taels, how can this action last long?" ”
Huang Taiji looked at him, Er laughed, looked at Dai Shan and said, "Fan Qing is right!" The little emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty is willful, and it will not last long! ”
Dai Shan also nodded, the Ming Dynasty from the initial fifteenth army to the north to now have no power to fight back, it has long been shown that the Ming Dynasty is no longer good.
However, he was still puzzled and said, "Then, what does the Southern Barbarian want to do?" ”
Fan Wencheng glanced at Huang Taiji and smiled at Dai Shan: "Big Belle, no matter what Nanming wants to do, they will definitely lose, no silver and no food, what can they do?" ”
Huang Taiji was happy for a while, but also calmed down, nodded slightly, and said, "When Amin returns from the Eastern Expedition, it will be the time when Ben Khan goes south." ”
Fan Wencheng saw that Huang Taiji's self-confidence was undiminished, and further said, "Great Khan, no matter what the Ming Dynasty wants to do, Yi/Zhou, Guang/Ning must not be lost, and cannot fall into the hands of Mongolia or the Ming Dynasty, please send troops to assist." ”
Fan Wencheng's voice fell, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan frowned, there were so many soldiers and horses in Houjin, Amin took away 80,000, Shen / Yang only had 20,000 left, and the others had to be stationed in various places, in fact, there were no soldiers to send.
Fan Wencheng also expected this, and said, "The Great Khan can transfer Mongolian soldiers." ”
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, Ben Khan can order the nearest Khalkha Department, Korqin to aid Guang/Ning, Yi/Zhou." ”
Fan Wencheng smiled, and Dai Shan had no objections.
The Ming Dynasty tried its best to deal with the past in the Later Jin Dynasty with just a few words.
Early in the morning of the third day, Amin led 30,000 troops, all the way south, besieged countless cities, and directly surrounded Yizhou.
Immediately set up ladders and siege equipment, and began to attack the city with ferocious momentum.
Chen Zhong stood at the head of the wall, sneered, and said: "Pass the order, all the cannons will be hidden, and 10,000 people will be ordered to defend the city first!" ”
There were 30,000 people from the city, and the North Korea barely raised 10,000, a total of 40,000 people. North Korea has few people, but it has produced a lot of money and grain, and the grain alone is enough for the city to eat for a month!
Therefore, Chen Zhong was not worried at all.
"It's the general!" The lieutenant next to him is also full of confidence.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the salary is sufficient, the rice and grain are enough, and no one has complained, not to mention, the city wall is tall, 40,000 people guard 30,000 people, what is there to fear!
Amin besieged Yi/Zhou, Belzir Harang led 50,000 troops, passed through Phoenix City, Zhenjiang, and welcomed countless people, and the army drove directly to Tie/Mountain, with horses' hooves like thunder and earthquakes under their feet.
Zhang Pan in the iron/mountain was covered in armor, and his eyes looked coldly at Zilharang on the tall horse, and he slowly pushed out the city wall with a black run.
At the same time, Mao Wenlong personally led 20,000 elites across the Yalu River and went straight to Phoenix!
Amin besieged the city for more than an hour, Yi/Zhou was like an iron tower, not moving at all, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and cut down the two guards around him.
"Attack me, continue to attack, no matter what, take Yi/Zhou for me!" Amin roared.
Zilharang was also in trouble, and the 50,000-strong army surrounded the four gates of the iron/mountain, and attacked at the same time, and the killing sound shook the sky, but there was no progress at all.
On the edge of Zilharang, Azig came down from the battlefield and walked over and said, "Something is wrong, this iron/mountain is wrong, according to the past, either flee or surrender, it is impossible to fight for so long without moving." ”
Zilharang's expression was solemn, and he also noticed that the Ming army in the iron/mountain seemed to be different.
He said, "Who is this guard?" ”
"Yes......" Azig was about to speak, his face changed suddenly, and he looked back.
Bang bang bang
On the gates of the iron/mountain city, the black running halls were blazing, and cannonballs flew out one after another, heading straight for them.
Azig's face changed greatly, and he said loudly: "It's a cannon, get off the horse quickly!" ”
Boom, boom, boom
Before he could finish his words, the cannonballs exploded around them, and the dust rose to the sky, and the screams were incessant.
At the same time, Amin in Yizhou/Zhou received bad news.
Mao Wenlong conquered Zhenjiang and captured more than 60 people, including Tong Yangzhen and his son Tong Songnian!
Zhenjiang and Yizhou, where he is located, are only a dozen miles!
