407 Strain by Change (I)
In front of the apocalypse, Sun Chengzong has more face than others, because of the teacher-student relationship, he is blessed and others are not envious, which is also Sun Chengzong's self-confidence in daring to take responsibility. Many times we can see such a person, that is, when everyone is undecided, he stands up, although his idea is not necessarily very clever, but his courage to stand up and dare to be the first in the world will be extremely admirable ♀, such a person is either more perceptive than the average person, dare to decide, or have a particularly hard relationship, can afford to fail, do it right, he is a well-deserved hero, even if he does wrong, he can get away.
It's a pity that many people don't know the reason to do imitation, which is purely gambling on their own future, and even if the bet is right, there is no good end, the superior will say that you have no leader is personal heroism, and colleagues will think that you love to be in the limelight and draw a line with you. Once a person who has no strong relationship loses the gamble, he is a scapegoat that everyone likes to see, and at this time, no one can speak for him and the one who can not fall into the well is his benefactor. Cats fall from a high place and shake their fur nothing, if a person falls from a high place will not die or be disabled, the results are different due to different conditions, so the average person should think twice when he can't see clearly.
Everyone was deeply impressed by Sun Chengzong's self-confidence, and even Wang Zaijin, who had always been dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong, rarely praised him twice, making Sun Chengzong's old face bloom with a slight smile and a little light. After discussing for a while, everyone decided to immediately order Hou Sui, the supervisor of the Bohai Naval Region, to transfer ships to Jinzhou, and at the same time let the general army of Dengzhou transfer ships to go with them, so as to rescue all Mao Wenlong's people as soon as possible. He also ordered Huang Daozhou, the superintendent of the Northeast Military Region, to go to Xipingbao to stop Yuan Chonghuan's sneak attack on Shenyang, everyone knew that Yuan Chonghuan was a little tempered, and asked Huang Daozhou to point out that even if Shenyang was captured, he would not be able to hold it, and he might even have no return, so that Yuan Chonghuan would hold on to Xipingbao and Guangning for at least a month.
Let Yuan Chonghuan hold on to Xiping Fort and Guangning for a month, so that the Ming army has time to build infrastructure in Dalinghe Fort, since it was decided to advance the defense line to Jinzhou, then it was necessary to block the Jurchens' approach to avoid Jinzhou being surrounded. Sun Chengzong had a plan to expand and strengthen the Dalinghe Fort a few years ago, and he also wanted to advance the Songshan Fort to the Xiaoling River, and then connect the two places with side walls. In this way, it is equivalent to following the mountain situation of Yiwulu Mountain, making use of all the small hills along the way, and organizing a defense line until the seaside, and the enemy does not need to fight desperately and only needs a few troops to resist the enemy outside the border wall.
Chen Qiyu and they suggested that the people who built Huining City should build Dalinghe Fort and build a few passes in front of Yizhou, but Sun Chengzong and they did not agree after discussion, first, because Huining was too far away from Jinzhou, and second, most of those builders had another identity, that is, the reserve force defending Huining City. Once the Jurchens and Mongols had bad intentions and wanted to capture Huining, it would be difficult for Lu Xiangsheng and Mangui's 40,000 cavalry to defend it, and Mangui's 20,000 men would have another use. After discussion, everyone decided to select people from among the people between Ningyuan and Qiantun, find some experienced people to organize these people, and start working immediately.
Because these people can't fight, they have to find someone to protect them, Yuan Chonghuan can stop the enemy from advancing westward for a month in Xiping Fort and Quang Ninh, but in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the loophole, he has to send people to guard the construction site of Dalinghe Fort. There are only 10,000 people in Jinzhou, which is only enough to defend the city, and the division of troops to go to the Daling River can only be said to increase the confidence of the people who repair the city, and it will not help to encounter a large number of enemies. So Sun Chengzong and they gave an order to Man Gui, once they found that the battle between Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan had stopped, they should be ready to defend the city or transfer, the so-called transfer is that if they find that Huang Taiji returned to the master to make trouble, they will immediately go to help.
More than 40 miles west of Yizhou, there is a mountain in the shape of a pig's kidney, which limits the width of the Daling River, which flows through to only a few miles wide, which was originally more than 20 miles wide, and Sun Chengzong plans to build a side wall here. In the past, there was also a Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to the east, which surrounded Uiju and Quang Ninh along the ridge to the east, turned south and then meandered north through Xipingbao until Sanwanwei, and then turned around and went south through Salhu, Fushun Pass, and Dangerous Mountain Fort, until Sinuiju in North Korea. Tianqi's concession to Huang Taiji refers to the restoration of this line of defense, Huang Taiji did not agree with Sun Chengzong and wanted to forcibly build it, whether it can be done depends on whether Yuan Chonghuan can hold Xiping Fort.
After the military affairs committee discussed it, it was immediately sent to Ningyuan and Dengzhou with 600 li in an expedited manner, but the next afternoon a bad news came back, saying that Yuan Chonghuan had transferred all the big boats before leaving, saying that if he wanted to rescue Jinzhou, he had to cross the Sancha River, and he wanted to use the big boat to transport all the soldiers across the river, and he didn't want to lose the battle because of the boat like the sneak attack on Yaozhou four years ago. Fortunately, Hou Sui is a capable person, he suggested that since he can't withdraw together, he simply don't withdraw, he has been in the army for many years, and he knows that the soldiers are not afraid of dying in battle, but afraid that everyone else will run away and be left as a substitute for the dead, and he does not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year, which is quite marketable in the army.
Hou Sui said that there were 20,000 soldiers in Dengzhou, and they had been trained under the auspices of Yuan Keli and Liu Xingzuo last year, and that they might not be able to do it on horseback on the plains, but there should be no problem in defending against danger, at least they would not abandon the pass when they saw the enemy, and the training in the past six months was not in vain. Hou Sui suggested that 10,000 Mao Wenlong, who had been defending in Nanguan in the past, and fought and retreated, because there was no way to run so that the soldiers could be put to death and then raw food supplies could be sent from Huangcheng Island nearby, and the terrain of Nanguan was dangerous if it was a choke point that was conducive to defense, if Yuan Chonghuan could deal with it, of course, if he couldn't, he could transfer troops from Laizhou, Weihai and other places one after another.
Everyone was very dissatisfied when they heard that Yuan Chonghuan had transferred the ship away without saying hello, and even Sun Chengzong shook his head slightly, and Wang Zaijin was even more angry and said, "What does Yuan Chonghuan mean by doing this?" Is he trying to put Mao Wenlong to death? A while ago, his recital said that he wanted to adapt to the situation and put Mao Wenlong under more pressure, did he have such a vicious idea as soon as he opened the mission? Using someone else's life to earn credit for himself, is he the way of a saint from elementary school? Lord Sun didn't say you, he is more accustomed to this problem! ”
Sun Chengzong persuaded: "Don't be angry, Lord Wang, Governor Yuan is also in order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, more than 50,000 people should be careful, his mistake is that he should not be the master of the news privately, so that we don't even have room for maneuver." When the war is over, I will personally write to rebuke him, now let's discuss Hou Jianjun's suggestion, what do you think? ”
Wang Zaijin said angrily, "What else is there to discuss?" There are not so many ships, and now they can only increase the troops in batches, and the big ships in Dengzhou are not many, and at most two or three thousand people can be transported at one time, and if you transport 20,000, you will have to transport ten times, so I am afraid that the situation ♀ will be delayed, so I immediately ordered the governor of Dengzhou and the general army to increase the troops to Lushun, so that they can occupy Nanguan and build a protective wall after they arrive in Lushun, and then transfer some soldiers from Tianjin. ”
Zhu Xieyuan didn't speak much after arriving at the Military Affairs Yuan, and seeing that Wang Zaijin was a little angry, he said at this time: "I'm afraid it's too late to concentrate in Lushun, there is still some distance from Dengzhou to Lushun to delay the time back and forth, it is better to transport the soldiers to Huangcheng Island with a large boat, and then use a big boat to send Nanguan directly from Huangcheng Island." In this way, it is equivalent to changing long-distance round-trips into short-distance round-trips, saving time and reducing casualties. ”
Wang Zaijin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said approvingly: "Lord Zhu is worthy of being experienced in the battlefield for a long time, but the big fishing boats that fish in the summer have been transferred away by Yuan Chonghuan, where can you requisition so many fishing boats?" ”
Zhu Xieyuan said: "It seems that Lord Wang does not care much about the affairs of the imperial court, and it is said that last year, someone proposed to the emperor that the ban on opening the sea is to allow private individuals to go to the sea to catch seafood and go to the sea for trade. The emperor did not agree, but allowed private individuals to form a company first, and then attached to the name of the big iron company, which is equivalent to taking out the emperor's privileges and sharing them with the people, which not only satisfies everyone's wishes but also does not overthrow the ancestral system, and it is also convenient to manage ♀ these people, some people want to catch seafood, and they must have boats to trade at sea. ”
As soon as Wang Zaijin heard that there was a door, he immediately turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong, thinking about how to soften his tone to let Sun Chengzong go to the apocalypse, probably because he felt that it was too arrogant to start talking, and he coughed a few times but did not find a suitable starting tone. Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "In this case, we will go separately, I will go to the emperor and tell the emperor to find the internal affairs government to ask for a list, and Lord Wang will immediately notify Tianjin, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Weihai and other places, these are all within your control to transfer troops, and strive to transport people over as soon as possible." I remember that the emperor ordered a red-coated cannon to be taken from Beijing City to fight Lushun, and later this cannon was placed in Dengzhou or Huangcheng Island, and then it was pulled to Nanguan. ”
Wang Zaijin said: "This is very good, that red-clothed cannon is made by Taixi, and it has a long range and strong lethality, and it has added a little certainty to hold Nanguan." Beginning with my Mao Wenlong's safety, I am afraid that he will die and the Bohai Naval Region will lose a pillar, and if the language is offended, please ask Sun Daren Haihan. ”
Sun Chengzong's flattering words in the past few years can be said to be countless, but it is the first time he has heard such polite words from Wang Zaijin's mouth, and he laughed and said: "They are all in the same dynasty as officials, and they should be in the same boat, Lord Wang's words are too polite." After speaking, he immediately entered the palace to see the apocalypse.
But it is said that on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Huang Daozhou came to Xiping Fort with his entourage, and Yuan Chonghuan heard that Huang Daozhou was coming, and he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly took Huang Daozhou to his big tent and asked him why he came in person. Huang Daozhou saw that Yuan Chonghuan had a worried look between his eyebrows, and he didn't say much else and asked directly: "Is Lord Yuan going to fight Shenyang?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was taken aback, waved his hand to let the left and right guards go down, and then whispered: "Xia Guan has this intention, I don't know where the Lord of the Prison Army knows?" ”
Huang Daozhou laughed out loud with a "hey", shook his head and said, "Lord Yuan thinks that you are doing something hidden, but in fact, many people know about it, including the emperor. ”
Yuan Chonghuan asked in surprise: "Where does this start?" ”
Huang Daozhou said: "You transferred the boat and said that you want to cross the river, but you have not crossed the river and have been waiting, if you really want to cross the river, I am afraid that you have already reached Gaizhou or Fuzhou, right?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan took a breath and said: "If that's the case, once the attack can't be attacked for a long time, and then someone kills from behind, or even burns the ship first and then attacks from both sides, our army will be in danger." ”
