Chapter 9 Wang Jincai's Disposition

I don't know when, Zhang Xuan himself already has political significance.

This is also the reason why Nanjing must designate Ding Chukui as the main culprit.

Zhang Xuan does not represent himself. There are too many halos behind him, and when he enjoys too many halos. Zhang Xuan also has no reason to be capricious.

Rather than wanting to take revenge with his own hands, Zhang Xuan has to bear his own responsibility.

Cao Zongyu listened to Zhang Xuan's words and said, "The general is wise. ”

Zhang Xuan looked up to the sky and said: "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom." I'm not a fool. Therefore I will avenge me, and I will leave it to you. First of all, I don't have a lot of money in my hands, and the funds I give you are also limited, probably only to maintain the supply of the army, and I can't give more. However, in the second half of next year, I can prepare another few hundred thousand taels. ”

"But things on the front line are changing rapidly, and I give you the right to arbitrary. You just have to see an opportunity. You can make your own decisions. ”

Cao Zongyu said: "I don't know how many troops the general is preparing to garrison in Wuzhou. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Prepare to garrison 30,000 troops, under your command." Your headquarters is transferred back from Changsha. The other two are all new soldiers, so you have to take care of them a little more. ”

There's no way around it.

Zhang Xuan is forty or fifty thousand old soldiers. In the current situation, it is impossible to garrison these old soldiers in one place, so they can only be stationed separately. However, Zhang Xuan can trust Cao Zongyu's ability to train soldiers.

Cao Zongyu said: "Please rest assured, the general is in Wuzhou, and I deserve the things in the west." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "I originally intended to mobilize three people after the autumn harvest next year. All the way from Yongzhou to Quanzhou, attack and contain Guilin's troops, all the way from Wuzhou, attack Pingle. The other way attacked Lianzhou by sea, and Wuzhou was the main attack. Quanzhou, Lianzhou is contained. The number of wins and losses is all up to you. ”

It seems that after the defeat of the Western Expedition, Zhang Xuan completely changed his style of doing things, and this kind of three-way attack may shake the army by nearly 100,000. The amount of funds to be prepared is as much as several hundred thousand taels, and it is completely to hurt the enemy at this cost.

Cao Zongyu said: "In this case, the matter of Lianzhou should be mainly based on the water division, supplemented by the land division, and the name is Qifa, but in fact, it is an independent campaign, and I don't know much about the generals of the Guangdong water division." But Yongzhou has to cooperate closely with Wuzhou all the way, whether to let Wang Jin go. ”

Zhang Xuan listened to Cao Zongyu's words and knew Cao Zongyu's original intention, but he actually wanted to intercede for Wang Jincai.

Zhang Xuan sighed and said, "Let Wang Jin come in." ”

"Yes." Zheng Lian said.

After a while, Wang Jincai walked in with his numb legs and feet, knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general will meet the general." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Wang Jincai, do you have anything to say?" ”

Wang Jin opened his mouth, and he had been brewing defense words in his heart for I don't know how many days, and he was about to say it. When he looked up, he saw Cao Zongyu giving him another look. seemed to have figured it out, and said: "The humble position is not good, there is nothing to say, I just ask the general to follow the general for a long time in the humble position, and open the net." ”

Zhang Xuan sighed and said, "Wang Jincai, you were born in the Wanli period, and now. Forty, right? ”

Wang Jincai said: "There are three out of forty subordinates. ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Since you are old, don't fight and kill, I have arranged a position for you in the Privy Council." You go back to Beijing. ”

Wang Jincai was taken aback and couldn't accept it for a while. Said: "The general -----"

Zhang Xuan's arrangement, he has also been thinking about it for a long time.

It is necessary to arrange a manpower in the Beijing Division, just like the Beijing Office in later generations. Although Zhang Xuan's home is in Nanjing, Luo Yujiao is also there, and he will also deliver news to Zhang Xuan. But Luo Yujiao is a woman after all. And they had another baby. Zhang Xuan didn't want to put these troubles on him.

This person needs to be capable, and he can also be trusted by Zhang Xuan.

Wang Jincai is such a person.

And after a long time, Zhang Xuan also understood that Wang Jincai was actually not a qualified general, but he was an experienced general. However, with the increase in the number of generals under Zhang Xuan, Wang Jincai's shortcomings were also revealed in this battle.

Just as Luo Yulong has eyeliner here in Zhang Xuan, can Zhang Xuan still not know what Wang Jincai did at that time?

If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do.

Wang Jincai's biggest problem is that he is too smart and thinks too much.

What is there to fight, in fact, you don't need too smart people. The more active the mind, the less courage they have. And as a general, you can do without anything, but you can't have courage. But Wang Jincai's lively temperament, if he is placed above the officialdom, may be able to succeed like a fish in water.

It's just that Wang Jincai couldn't think about it for a while.

There is no other reason, since the end of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere has almost regarded how many troops at hand is a symbol of strength and status, and now Zhang Xuan has deprived him of his weapons. He couldn't turn his head for a while.

Zhang Xuan said: "After arriving in Beijing, remember to visit Zhang Bingbu. He is my brother and will take care of you. When you serve in the Privy Council, remember what I should have in the Southern Expeditionary Army, I can't miss it at all, and if you have something, go to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess will help you. ”

"However, the eldest princess is better off running less. There's really no way to go any longer. ”

"Also, pass on the news from Beijing in a timely manner."

Wang Jincai listened to Zhang Xuan's words, and slowly turned the corner. Although there is still some discomfort in my heart, it is not unacceptable.

For some people, leading soldiers to fight is a dream of life, and they will be in the army all their lives, and if they leave the army, they will not know how to live, but some people only regard the army as a way to support their families. Leaving the army has never been a psychological burden.

And Wang Jincai is the latter.

Wang Jincai said: "Please rest assured, general, I will definitely do a good job in Beijing." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "That's fine." ”

"General." Zheng Lian said: "Xuzhou good news. ”

Zhang Xuan said, "Oh. Is the Battle of Xuzhou over? ”

Zheng Lian said: "The general is wise, and Duoduo has withdrawn. ”

Zhang Xuan calculated and said: "It's been four or five months since the fight, and the Qing army finally can't support it." ”

It's just that Zhang Xuan miscalculated this. It's not that Duoduo can't be defeated, but that the Qing army's backyard is on fire.

Xuzhou.

The weather was freezing cold, and the Qing army slowly retreated, and countless white gases came out of the Qing army's mouth and nose. Countless ha, almost forming clouds. Duoduo rode on the war horse, looked back at Xuzhou City. Under this small city, the Qing army was stunned for several months.

The two sides fought a lot around Xuzhou City.

Among them, Gao Jie and Yuan Shizhong were both blocked in the south of Xuzhou. The two sides have met several times, but they have not won or lost.

But overall, it was the Xia Jun's side that lost. At least the Xia army did not accomplish their strategic goal, which was to relieve the siege of Xuzhou.

Although the city of Xuzhou is very strong, it is a city after all, when the water of the Yellow River is not frozen. Some supplies were transported into Xuzhou from the waterways, and after the Yellow River froze in winter, nothing could be transported.

In this way, the fall of Xuzhou City will be a matter of time.

Dordor was patient.

At the beginning, Huang Taiji besieged Hong Chengchou for eight months, and there was nothing impatient. In that battle, Dodor was among them. Not to mention that it has been under siege for months now. Even after a few months of siege, the Dordor managed to hold on.

But Duoduo could no longer stay in Xuzhou.

There is no other reason.

A fire broke out in the backyard of the Qing court. Teng Siji rebelled.

Teng Siji is the sixth grandson of Dayan Khan.

At this time, although it was said that the Qing court had conquered Mongolia, this conquest was not stable, such as the Horqin department, which was closest to the Qing court, and its status among the Mongols was not high. The highest status among the Mongols was Lin Dan Khan. After the death of Lin Dan Khan, the Golden Family's rule over Mongolia was severed.

But that doesn't mean that the Golden Family doesn't have anyone left in Mongolia.

Dayan Khan is known as the lord of the Mongol Zhongxing. Teng Siji is also a descendant of the Golden Family, and he has already defected to the Qing court. However, Teng Siji has a grudge against Dolgon, and after Dolgon came to power, he was very unfriendly to Teng Siji.

Of course, this is probably not the most important reason, and the Mongols are dissatisfied with the Manchus.

The Manchus claimed to be Manchu and Mongolian, at least at this time, not all Mongols were willing to speak with the Manchus.
