Chapter 169: Life is not easy
Shanhaiguan.
Wang Zaijin, who had long been lifted by Emperor Chongzhen from Nanjing to Shanhaiguan to serve as the governor of Jiliao, looked at the captain of the Jinyi guard in front of him with a solemn face, that is, Sun Chengzong, who had always been holding a pearl of wisdom beside Wang Zaijin, also had a dignified face.
Six of the entire Jiannu Eight Banners have been dispatched and rushed straight to the Dongjiang River. In the whole of Shenyang, only the blue flag and the inlaid white flag remain.
In Wang Zaijin's opinion, this matter was like a big pie, and it was directly on Da Ming's face. As long as Zhao led the Hui army to Liaodong as the vanguard at this time, and then the army of Shanhaiguan went straight to Shenyang, then the old nest of Jiannu could be taken down in one fell swoop.
Sun Chengzong, however, had a different idea.
Shenyang City is not big, but it also depends on who you compare it with. Compared with the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, Shenyang is a small city, but for the entire Liaodong, there is no way to find a stronger city than Shenyang, after all, Jiannu is to operate Shenyang as an old nest.
If you raise a large army to attack Shenyang, you can't beat it for a while, not to mention, and don't mention the Tartars of Horqin, who is dedicated to being a dog for Jiannu, just if Jiannu returns to the division to save it, it will easily become a field battle.
For the Ming army at this time, it was obviously unrealistic to fight a field battle with Jiannu. The elite of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong had already been lost in the Battle of Shenliao and the Battle of Sarhu. The rest of this, to say that they are all rubbish, is indeed excessive, but to say that it was the former elite is pure nonsense.
Sun Chengzong looked at Wang Zaijin with irrepressible excitement in his expression, for fear that Wang Zaijin's head would be hot and he would dare to raise an army to attack Shenyang, so he immediately said: "Doesn't Yunmo want to raise troops to attack Shenyang?" ”
As soon as Wang Zaijin heard the opposition in Sun Chengzong's words, he immediately said: "Yes, that's what the lower officials think." If you can defeat Shenyang, it is the best, but you can't beat it, and you can also force Jiannu to return to the division and solve the crisis of the Dongjiang River. ”
Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "It's a good Wei to save Zhao, but it's just that the fake drama is really done, but it can't be done." ”
Wang Zaijin said: "Shenyang has Jiannu's blue flag and inlaid white flag, this is the time when its troops are the most empty, if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find such a good time in the future." ”
Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said: "According to Yunyun's opinion, how long can Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang River hold on?" ”
Mao Wenlong? The armament on the other side of the Dongjiang River is not as good as that of Shanhaiguan, and how long it can last is really a question. After a little muttering, Wang Zaijin said: "In the opinion of the following officials, with the combat power of Dongjiang Mao Wenlong, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it for a month." ”
Sun Chengzong nodded, and then said: "This little brother in the brocade position will send the information from Shenyang here, no matter how fast it is, it will take seven or eight days. With this time, I'm afraid that Jiannu is already about to arrive in Benxi. When we are ready, we will fight all the way to the city of Shenyang, but I am afraid that it will be a month later at the earliest. Let's not talk about how much I want to lose when I hit Shenyang, that is, I will defeat Shenyang, but I'm afraid it will be useless. ”
Wang Zaijin was puzzled, so he said to Sun Chengzong: "I still hope that Sun Ge will give advice." ”
Sun Chengzong stroked the long beard on his chest, and then stretched out his hand to point on the map: "When Sun went to Korea and the Dongjiang River a while ago, he carefully observed the armaments of the Dongjiang River and North Korea. If Jiannu arrives in Dongjiang and North Korea, he is afraid that he can go down to Dongjiang in half a month and North Korea in January. ”
Seeing that Wang Zaijin was silent, Sun Chengzong continued: "When the time comes, Jiannu will get the Dongjiang River and North Korea, and I will have a city of Shenyang in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is not enough to defend it." If the army is constantly increasing, the imperial court may be able to afford it? When the time comes, the treasury will be erosive, and you and I will be sinners of the Ming Dynasty. ”
When Wang Zaijin heard this, he sighed and said, "How come the lower officials don't know about this joint? But if you don't fight Shenyang, how can you get Jiannu back? If the Dongjiang River is lost, Korea will inevitably be forced to surrender by Jiannu, just like the seven years of the Apocalypse. At that time, there will be no Mao Wenlong and North Korea to contain Jiannu from behind, and then there will be Horqin's dog Tartar to fight for the tiger, I am afraid that the grassland will also be eroded at that time, and in the end, I will reverse the current situation of encircling Jiannu, but will be surrounded by Jiannu. ”
Sun Chengzong was silent. How can he not see this joint? Originally, I thought that it would be best to besiege and kill Jiannu, but I didn't want to force Jiannu to jump over the wall in a hurry, and desperately wanted to solve Dongjiang and North Korea first.
Zhao Shujiao had never spoken out, but seeing that the two officials were frowning, for fear that these two would finally decide to defend Shanhaiguan, he simply said loudly: "Elder Sun Ge, Lord Dudu, in the opinion of the last general, as long as we can't give up Dongjiang and North Korea, then we and Jiannu must have a fight, and in order to force Jiannu to return to the army, we must not only fight, but also fight." ”
Wang Zaijin was curious: "What does Mingshan think?" ”
Zhao Shujiao bowed and said: "If Jiannu is really determined to get rid of General Mao, I am afraid that if we can't fight Shenyang, they will continue to march towards the Dongjiang River." ”
Sun Chengzong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Now there is no way to judge how big Huang Taiji's heart is, whether he wants to get rid of Mao Wenlong, or he wants to take the opportunity to annex North Korea." It seems that this battle must be fought. It's better for us to jointly fold the book, take the post station 800 miles to expedite, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision. ”
Wang Zaijin said: "If this is the case, the lower officials are willing to attach their names." ”
Zhao Shujiao also said: "The last general is also willing to attach his name." ”
When Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin sent out an eight-hundred-mile urgent military report, Chongzhen was also pinching Liaodong's secret report and had a headache.
Jiannu put on a look that his life was over, and he used six of the eight banners to fight the Dongjiang River, which was calculated to have more than 40,000 people, plus 60,000 horses and horses in the Han Eight Banners, which was more than double the 50,000 when Jiannu besieged Jingshi last time.
After thinking about it, Chongzhen found that these pits were all dug by himself.
First of all, he deliberately put Jiannu to besiege Jingshi, and pit Jiannu for a while, and then he continued to blockade and blockade, and then Mao Wenlong continued to make trouble for Jiannu, and now Jiannu who has not stopped in winter is now looking at the first year of Chongzhen, that is, the harvest of the second year of Mites Qing Tiancong, there is no hope, Huang Taiji Xiaoer is also a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and it is estimated that he will go to fight Dongjiang and North Korea if he borrows a name.
If Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town is defeated, then he can directly force North Korea to surrender, and then plunder it from North Korea to make up for his losses.
If you can't defeat Wen Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, then it doesn't matter, as long as you fight, people will die, right? As long as the Han Eight Banners are sent out to be consumed as cannon fodder, and some mites are killed, after the population is reduced, the remaining materials can still wait until next year's harvest.
Secretly admired Huang Taiji's ruthless Chongzhen, and now he was numb. Enko will be held tomorrow, and Jiannu will have fun for himself today, and there is no way to live this day.
