The sun was rising again, Xu Lang had just gotten up and finished breakfast, and before he could go to work in the General Staff, a second lieutenant from the Military Commission came to the door: "Sir, the Military Commission ordered, please go to the Military Commission for a meeting immediately." ”

Xu Lang asked while getting dressed: "What happened, why did you go to the meeting early in the morning." ”

"Report to the sir, I don't know about it."

Xu Lang followed the second lieutenant to the conference room of the Military Commission, and found that almost all the senior officers at home had arrived, including Ye Zhan, who was also sitting in the conference room.

Xu Lang sat down beside Ye Zhan and Leng Tianbing: "What's so urgent, why did you call it early in the morning." ”

"We don't know." Leng Tianbing replied in a low voice, "We also just received a notification, and we don't know what happened." ”

The room of people waited for a while, and Zheng Jiang, Zhang Guodong, and Wang Hua walked into the conference room with serious expressions.

"All stand up." Han Wantao, the highest-ranking officer in the room, shouted, and all the officers stood up.

"Please be seated." Zhang Guodong waved his hand, "I called everyone here so early because there was a sudden situation, the Ministry of Security received news from Xi'an, Xi'an has been attacked by Li Zicheng, and let Chairman Zheng tell you about the specific situation." ”

Before Zheng Jiang could speak, Xu Lang shouted first: "Wang Hua, Li Zicheng has broken Xi'an, is there any movement on Tao Min and Huang Taiji's side?" ”

As soon as Xu Lang shouted, everyone in the conference room shouted, and Han Wantao asked: "Two chairmen, does Bei Ming know about this situation, has he pulled out?" ”

Xu Tianbin then asked: "What is Beijing's reaction, have they transferred troops, and where are Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou now?" ”

Leng Tianbing also followed: "What about Zhang Xianzhong, is he also in Xi'an?" ”

Zheng Jiang looked at everyone: "Everyone, can you let me finish the situation first and then ask, I will answer your questions." Rest assured, Beiming is still in Datong and has not been opened. ”

The conference room fell silent, and Zheng Jiang continued: "According to the Ministry of Security, Li Zicheng has attacked Xi'an more than half a month ago. Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and some other peasant armies are also moving closer to Xi'an, and although the peasant army has not yet made the next move, their total strength is likely to reach more than 100,000 troops. Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou have retreated in the direction of Weinan County, and the specific situation is still unclear. ”

"About the situation in Beijing and Huang Taiji." Wang Hua took over the conversation, "The news of Huang Taiji and Tao Min has not yet come back, it should be soon, they will not be without action." The news from Beijing also returned, the government and the opposition were shocked, Chongzhen was transferring troops, but there was no final decision on how to arrange it. However, there are rumors in Beijing that Chongzhen wants to reactivate Sun Chuanting. ”

Because of the contradiction with Yang Sichang, and the same as the original history, Sun Chuanting was removed from office by Chongzhen and sent to prison pending sentence.

"Where is Lu Xiangsheng now?" Xu Lang asked again, "Is he with Yang Sichang and them?" ”

"Lu Xiangsheng is not with Yang Sichang." Zheng Jiang replied, "He should be in the area of Yan'an Mansion." ”

Xu Lang stood up and walked around the conference room a few times with his hands behind his back: "Chairman Zheng, do you have a map of Shaanxi?" ”

"I have it there." Zhang Guodong replied, turned around and walked out of the conference room.

After a while, Zhang Guodong took back a huge hand-drawn map and spread it on the table: "This is based on the expanded scale of the map we brought, with Henan as the center, including Beijing and Shaanxi." ”

Xu Lang and Leng Tianbing picked up some small red, yellow and blue flags together and put them on the map, and soon, the situation in the north was clear at a glance.

"Look, everybody." Xu Lang pointed to the small blue flag and said to the officers who surrounded him, "The area around Xi'an is Li Zicheng's territory, the small yellow flag represents the Ming Dynasty, and the small red flag is the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty." ”

"Sir." Halfway through Xu Lang's words, Ye Zhan suddenly interjected, "We can enter Xi'an from the south." ”

The people in the room all turned their heads to look at Ye Zhan, and Xu Lang asked with a smile: "Ye Zhan, how to advance from the south, talk about it." ”

"Chiefs." Ye Zhan's finger drew a line on the map, "There are only six or seven hundred miles from Hanzhong to Xi'an, and we can assemble in Hanzhong." As long as Lord Yang and Lord Hong stabilize their positions, we can attack from the north and south. ”

"But we only have two divisions in Yulin Bay." Xu Tianbin said, "And Sichuan is mountainous, there are no roads, it is not easy to start from Hanzhong, and it will take a long time for us to get to Hanzhong." ”

"Sir Xu." Ye Zhan said with a smile, "There is a strong army in Sichuan, the white pole soldiers of Qin Liangyu's general army. ”

Han Wantao looked at Ye Zhan in surprise: "You can do it, Ye Zhan." How do you know about the White Pole Soldiers? ”

Ye Zhan smiled embarrassedly: "I heard about it when I was in Beijing, and I also asked Gao Chen, and he introduced some things about the white pole soldiers to me. ”

"Ye Zhan, your idea is very good, but we may not be too late in time. Xu Tianbin is right, the road in Sichuan is too difficult to walk. Xu Lang shook his head and moved his gaze to the map again, "I think so, Li Zicheng captured Xi'an, it seems that he has won, but Xi'an will also trap him." In the past, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others basically fought on their own, and they ran away if they couldn't fight, and they were very mobile. Now all their people will go to Xi'an to gather, so that the contradictions between them will be aggravated, and secondly, the main forces of all the peasant armies will be gathered in Xi'an. Don't look at the large number of them, but there are not many of them who really have combat effectiveness. As long as the imperial court is properly dispatched, Li Zicheng can be blocked in Xi'an and slowly grinded him to death. ”

"But." Leng Tianbing only said two words, but Xu Lang stopped him, "Tianbing, I know what you're thinking, I'm also worried about this." Once the imperial court sent all the main forces to Xi'an, what would Huang Taiji and Tao Min do, they would never stay in Liaodong and Korea honestly. ”

"yes." Zhang Guodong took a small red flag in his hand, "How should the Manchu Qing Dynasty deal with it?" ”

"Principal Wang, Xu Lang." Han Wantao suddenly asked, "What is Zheng Zhilong's situation in Japan now?" ”

"No play." Wang Hua knew what Han Wantao meant by asking, "According to our information, Zheng Zhilong is only engaged in commerce and trade in Japan, and he has no ability and no way to attack North Korea. ”

"No, Lao Wang, it's not necessarily that there is no play." Xu Lang seemed to suddenly remember something, but after saying this, he didn't speak again. "Xu Lang, what do you want to say, why do you say half of it." Zheng Jiang asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, I've just heard Lu Lao talk about this matter, let me think about the specific situation." Xu Lang thought carefully for a while, "Do you know if Bomu Bogol is a person?" ”

"What's Bo?" The people in the conference room looked at each other, and no one knew who Xu Lang was talking about.

Xu Lang explained with a smile in Mandarin: "Bomu Bogol is the leader of the Sauron tribe in the area of Heilongjiang now. The Solon tribe was later known as the Evenki, Daur and Oroqen tribes. Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that the Sauron tribe has not returned to Emperor Taiji so far. ”

Zheng Jiang also asked in Mandarin: "Xu Lang, be simple, what do you want to say." ”

Xu Lang said: "I heard Lu Lao say that in 1637, Bomu Bogol led 8 people to Shengjing to meet Huang Taiji for the first time, and the tribute was horses and mink. Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty gave him saddle horses, python clothes, armor, etc. Under his influence, the cities on the north and south banks of the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River were attached to it. Among them, the cities of Yaksa, Dojin, Duochen, Azazin, and Ertu are the most famous. Last year, Bomu Bogol led 9 people to pay tribute to the Manchu Dynasty again, and Huang Taiji gave a banquet in the Chongzheng Palace. After that, Bomu Bogol's power grew and he severed contact with the Manchus. Huang Taiji decided to strike first. This year, Huang Taiji mobilized his army to attack the Sauron tribe led by Bomu Bogol, and finally truly unified the northeast. Of course, this is all the previous history, but at present, the Sauron Sect may not be attached to the Emperor Taiji, can we use their power? ”

Wang Hua patted his head: "Yes, the news that Liang Er sent back also mentioned this Sauron Ministry, we may consider using this force." ”

Zhang Guodong discussed a few words with Zheng Jiang in a low voice, and Zheng Jiang got up and said: "In this way, Xu Lang and Tianbing, give you two days, and the General Staff will come up with a comprehensive plan." The day after tomorrow at this time, we will meet here again to make a final decision. You must hurry, time waits for no one. ”

"Yes, Chairman Zheng." The two replied together.

Zheng Jiang said to Han Wantao and the others: "Don't be idle, don't wait for the first day of June, make all preparations for the pull-out, and start at any time." ”
