Chapter 357. Black clouds crush the city

Mao Jue took the initiative to invite, which really made Qu Shiyun and Huanglong feel flattered, just a sea away, Phi Dao and Dongjiang, but one is like heaven, the other is a wild hell, take a carriage to the towering and wide, eaves and arches of the Iron Mountain Governor's Mansion, even if it is Qu Shiyun from a big place in the south of the Yangtze River, his heart can't help but feel a sour feeling of jealousy and jealousy.

However, there is an old saying that if you have nothing to do, you will be a thief! was welcomed to Mao Jue's large conference room, and listening to the information brought by Mao Jue, the faces of the two turned pale again.

"General Mao, is this news reliable?"

"Dongjiang opened Yalu Riverside City, not just to make money! Even in Shengjing Dongjiang, there are informants, the news is conclusive, Jianyu has gathered troops, more than fifteen Jiannu children are all in the army, and at the same time mobilize Horqin, Tumut and other Mongolian cavalry to conscript, Han Eight Banners, Mongolian domineering, full Eight Banners plus conscription Mongolian soldiers, the total strength is not less than 130,000, if you add those clothed minions who do not count the number of heads, I am afraid there are 190,000 to 200,000 people!"

Even Mao Wenlong, who had not shown up for half a year since he said goodbye to his old age, attended the event, which shows the urgency of the matter, listening to Qu Shiyun's gloomy question, Mao Jue's face was expressionless like a dead man, and he replied indifferently.

"Maybe the slaves are still going west to Mongolia, or they are going to Mongolia to enter the customs!"

With a bit of luck, Huang Long said stupidly on the other end, and Qu Shiyun nodded in approval when he heard this.

"General Xiao Mao, how can you be sure that you are here for the Dongjiang River?"

"Because of you!"

The eyes were faint, Mao Jue's eyes were a little annoyed, and they fell on Huang Long and Qu Shiyun.

His words were unkind enough, not to mention Huanglong, Qu Shiyun was choked, but his face changed several times in a row, but the two of them were silent.

Because he is telling the truth.

In this era, there are many top strategists, but in the abundance of talents, Huang Taiji is top-notch, and Houjin can rise from a small tribe to a major power in Northeast Asia today, and even tens of millions of miles of Daming can't raise his head, relying on seizing every opportunity.

Now Dongjiang has exposed a great weakness, and the generals are not in harmony!

It is said that the minister does not lose his body, and the king does not lose his country, but today's Ming Dynasty is really like a sieve, leaking wind on all sides, Wen Tiren fell, and Mao Jue suffered a blow, using Huanglong to the general army of Dongjiang, not to mention the Mao family's operation in Dongjiang for more than 20 years, only the contradiction between Dongjiang Town and Liaodong Town, it is strange that Dongjiang can be stable.

And this time the Dongjiang River is actually not the main target, the biggest prey of Huang Taiji is still Li's North Korea, when Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyin famously said, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch! Although the Qing army entered the customs three times in a row, the Ming army that fought each time could not find the north, plundered millions of taels of wealth, and plundered hundreds of thousands of livestock and slaves.

It can be seen from the first entry of the Qing army into the customs in the third year of Chongzhen that Huang Taiji was ambitious, and after conquering the four cities of Zunhua in Hebei, he still left the Zhenghong Banner Amin to stay, intending to serve as a bridgehead for the next attack.

But as soon as the main force retreated, the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, it was easy to take back the four cities of Zunhua, and the embarrassment of Amin out of the pass, after this attempt, Huang Taiji never tried to occupy the territory in the pass, every time he entered the pass was just plundering, and he left after grabbing.

But now, the Later Jin Dynasty has completely conquered Mongolia and has a strong combat power of 400,000 Mongolian households.

The Guanningjin defense line has experienced Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan several eras of construction, with more than 200,000 troops, sitting on a strong city, Houjin has suffered several times in a row, and it is not cost-effective to fight directly, and there is Dongjiang Town and Li's North Korea behind it, even if Mao Jue has tried his best to dress Dongjiang as a little white rabbit after coming to power over the years, showing harmlessness to people and animals, Dongjiang and North Korea are still a thorn in the heart of Huang Taiji, and he has to leave a hand to guard his hometown when he sends troops to Liaodong.

But if he conquers Lee's Korea, Li Chao will have a nickname of Little China! Here can be like the Goryeo in the Mengyuan period to provide a steady stream of food, strong men, and warships for the Qing Dynasty, and become a large reserve base for the Qing army, from the original containment of the Qing army's 20,000 or 30,000 troops to provide 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, it is simply a godsend pie.

Especially after beating the Li Dynasty once and creating a Ding Mao chaos, the Li Dynasty is simply a soft persimmon in the eyes of all Qing Dynasty princes Baylor, and he is wronged, as long as he frees his hands, he is simply handy.

In the history before Mao Jue crossed, he had just conquered the Mongolian Chahar, and in the winter of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army had already entered North Korea with great momentum, and it was only more than 20 days to approach the city of Wangjing, and besieged the fleeing King Injo in the mountain city of Nanhan, and finally completely forced Li's Korea to submit to Houjin and became the grain base of the Qing army.

In the spring of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army of the division was easily wiped out in Phi Dao, after several tosses of Zhu Gong in the court, the Dongjiang Town that has been dilapidated, the deputy general Shen Shikui did not surrender to the death, and 100,000 people on Phi Island were slaughtered, and then the Qing army broke through Lushun, killed the general soldier Huanglong, and Dongjiang Town was completely destroyed.

Mao Jue in this era is already good, for the sake of the face of the city by the Yalu River, Huang Taiji endured his annexation of Yizhou, and endured it for another year after conquering Mongolia, until there was a flaw in the Dongjiang River this year, he gathered a large army and prepared to end the eastern front.

And at this time, Mao Jue was really annoyed in his heart, as the leader of the Dongjiang River, this time he was unqualified, his eyes were completely covered with anger, forgetting the threat of Huang Taiji, this juncture went to provoke the civil strife in Lee's Korea, and now it is good, it is equivalent to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot and cutting off the reinforcements of Lee's Korea.

So at this time, he needs to try his best to enlist the help of the imperial court.

The deathly silence echoed in this conference room, and after a few seconds of silence, Huang Long's guy actually sneered, looked at Mao Jue coldly, and snorted gloatingly.

"Even if he came to the Dongjiang River, Master Mao has great powers, and he is still afraid of his little Jianyu? What did you invite this little general to do? ”

"Lord Huang, you are the chief soldier of the imperial court, why do you say this! Aren't you afraid of impeachment? ”

Unexpectedly, Qu Shiyun actually stood on Mao Jue's side, and the annoyed first opened his mouth to scold, and glanced at him unexpectedly, Mao Jue didn't take it to heart, and sneered on the side.

"Mr. Huang is the chief soldier of Phi Dao, if Lord Huang thinks that the Dongjiang River is gone, you can still stay comfortably in Phi Dao, the door is there, please!"

Huang Long was choked by Mao Jue and couldn't speak.

"No more nonsense! In today's situation, what suggestions does Vice General Mao have? What do you need to do with Lord Huang? ”

Unlike other civil officials, even the Donglin Party, if you change to an old fritter, you should think about how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the greatest protection of yourself is not to say, no matter whether Dongjiang lives or dies, he will get some benefits, but Qu Shiyun is completely different, he happily put his words down.

Mao Jue didn't talk nonsense, and threw out the request straightforwardly.

"Help! Dongjiang needs reinforcements from Liaozhen to Tieshan, and the general will be in Dongjiang for a long time, I want this command!"

To be honest, this requirement is very harsh, Mao Jue is just a deputy general, and Huang Long is still his boss, not to mention Liaodong, which crosses the town, so that one by one, the general soldiers, the deputy will listen to his dispatch, it is too difficult! But the last battle of Daling River really taught Mao Jue a lesson, if there is another military supervisor Zhang Chunlai to command blindly, it is better for Dongjiang to fight alone.

Huang Long was furious when he heard this, but after his bearded leopard shook like that for a few minutes, the old soldier Youzi actually fell silent and immediately agreed.

"Yes! On the Liaodong side, the general could have said something, but the Liaodong army was also short of salary, and if Liaodong wanted to send troops and efforts, he would have asked for 500,000 stone grains and 1 million taels of silver!"

This is really a lion's big mouth, this amount, even Qu Shiyun couldn't help but look ugly, he couldn't imagine that Mao Jue didn't bargain, and nodded happily.

"Okay, the food will be sent to Phi Island within three days, and this head will write to the court for help, and it will depend on Lord Qu!"

was really impressed by the wealth of the Dongjiang River, and Qu Shiyun also nodded happily.

"General Mao, rest assured, this matter will be handled by the official."

The matter is negotiated, but as for whether it can be done, it can only depend on God's face, seeing the two people who were full of heavy going out, Mao Jue unexpectedly muttered two sentences in a row.

"Qu Shiyun? Qu Shiyun? ”

For the end of the Ming Dynasty, I watched a lot on TV, but for Nanming, I don't know much about Mao's broken friendship, this name is really unfamiliar to him, but today's matter, this person made Mao Jue impressed, pinched his chin and thought for a while, and then Mao Jue tilted his head at Adriana.

"I will ask the account office to send him three thousand taels of silver, and then pick out some silk cloth, and get a few Japanese Korean girls to send it, this person is worth wooing."

…………

Although Li's North Korea is too busy to take care of itself, every bit of strength is precious, and if one more bullet can be fired, there will be one less Jiannu, and after talking to Huanglong, Mao Jue brought Li Shanhai again.

Fortunately, this old man does not have high blood pressure, otherwise he would have to explain here today, this head is still worried about the rebellious Chang army, and the other head is pressed by the big tiger mountain of Houjin, it is simply a disaster!

"General Xiao Mao! The Dongjiang Army retreats! Withdraw to Wangjing, leaning on the wall of Wangjing City, our king will gather all kinds of military forces, and he will also have the power to fight against Jianlu and the thief army!"

This old guy is really a typical slippery head, and he immediately wanted to protect himself and let Dongjiang work hard to protect him from North Korea, but Mao Jue, who listened to this idea, simply sneered. In history, Bingzi was in chaos, less than a month, there was not even a decent resistance, and the Li Dynasty surrendered to others to trap and defend the southern Hanshan City, and went to Wangjing, it was better to have a decisive battle in the iron mountain with high walls and thick walls all over the pillbox.

"Today, I will send Song Xiance to go back with Lord Li to negotiate with the Chang Army, once the difficulty of the Chang Army is solved, the Lord should quickly speed the whole country's army to the Dongjiang River to join the general!"

"As soon as we can't stand it, our division will retreat to the mountainous area northeast of Hamgyong Province, and whether the Dongyu will chase me in the big ravine, or drive straight into the Han River, you can weigh it yourself! That's it!"

The old face was red and white for a while, and Li Shanhai finally hugged his fists helplessly.

"Whoa!"
