Zhu Hongsan saw Li Yuanyin's face liking, but when he saw Zhao Hu, who was like a black iron tower, he was full of dislike.

There is no way, Zhu Hongsan is now his father-in-law, Lao Taishan, and there is no father-in-law who likes his daughter to marry a chimpanzee, even if this chimpanzee was still chosen by himself back then.

In fact, according to the aesthetic point of view of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Luo is not good-looking, too tall, still big-footed, and likes to shout and laugh. The beauties of the Ming Dynasty should be like Lin Daiyu, petite and delicate. But that father likes his children and thinks that his children are the best, not to mention that Zhu Hongsan is from later generations, and he likes that kind of beauty like a female man, plus Zhu Luo, as the eldest daughter, has the deepest relationship with Zhu Hongsan, so naturally Zhu Hongsan is the most fond of Zhu Luo.

Zhao Hu and Zhu Luo have been married for more than ten years, and they know that the emperor's father-in-law does not want to see him. So when I entered the house, I didn't dare to speak, but just kowtowed and stood up.

The more Zhao Hu is like this, the more Zhu Hongsan looks down on him, and after glaring at Zhao Hu, he said to Li Yuanyin with a smile on his face: "Virtuous son-in-law, how is it being repaired in the past two months outside the city?" ”

How can it be? I ate and slept every day, slept and ate, and gained several pounds! Li Yuanyin thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that: "Your Majesty, the minister has led the soldiers outside the city to train in the past two months, and his equestrian skills have improved a lot!" ”

"Good! I asked you to come here today, and you can probably guess why! ”

Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu were overjoyed in their hearts, and asked in unison, "Your Majesty, do you want to send us to fight?" ”

"Yes, that's what you guys are going to do!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he said to Li Chengen beside him: "Lao Li, bring the map!" ”

Two little eunuchs took out a topographical map of northern China, opened it, and placed it in front of the emperor.

Zhu Hongsan pointed to the map and said: "According to the secret report of Jinyi Wei, the Manchu Qing Dynasty mobilized 300,000 troops to enter Henan and Shandong in three ways, the east is the main force led by Jierharang stationed in Jinan, and the east is the Shaanxi Qing army led by Man Dahai stationed in Zhangde, and the most critical road in the middle is the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Yue Le, stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion!" ”

Li Yuanyin's eyes lit up when he heard that the middle road was a Mongolian cavalry, Li Chengdong was born in a cavalry, and Li Yuanyin, as a godson, was deeply educated by cavalry since he was a child. But Li Chengdong was full of awe when he talked about the Mongolian cavalry, so in Li Yuanyin's heart, he always wanted to have a cavalry duel with the real Mongolian cavalry.

Li Yuanyin saw that the opportunity was in front of him, stood up and clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead his subordinates to the middle and fight with the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, and see if they are powerful or my Ming cavalry is powerful!" ”

Zhu Hongsan saw Li Yuanyin asking for battle, and nodded again and again: "Okay!" That's why I asked you to come today, the threat of these 50,000 Mongol cavalry is huge. The Daimyo's Mansion was less than two days away from the canal, and Yue Le could completely threaten our supply lines. Our main forces are infantry, and if we lose supplies, it is not good to be surrounded on the North China Plain! So this first step is to defeat Yue Le's 50,000 cavalry! Can you do it? ”

Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu hurriedly stood up and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty is willing to serve the death force and eradicate this group of Mongolian cavalry for Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay, after you go back, you will set off with the cavalry in three days, and camp in Yuncheng along the canal, remember! Along the way, you have to stop and avoid the big towns, you know? ”

Li Yuanyin nodded again and again: "Your Majesty, what about after arriving in Yuncheng?" ”

"You wait here for the information of the Jinyi Guard, and I will take the supply fleet through the canal after you leave, and then come to this place!" Zhu Hongsan stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on the map, "Dongping Prefecture!" I came to this place to lure the cavalry of the Qing army to attack, and it will be up to you when the time comes! ”

There is a famous place here in Dongpingzhou, that is, Liangshanbo in the Song Dynasty is not far from Dongpingzhou. However, Liangshan Bo has disappeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and a small lake was formed here when the Grand Canal was renovated in the Ming Dynasty, called Ansan Lake, and Ansan Lake also became a section of the Grand Canal in the Ming Dynasty.

Dongping Prefecture is the later Dongping County, Shandong, this place is located in the east of the East Henan Plain, a large plain in the west, there is no danger to defend, it is a good place for cavalry raids, so Zhu Hongsan set Dongping here as a rest point, it is to seduce the Manchu cavalry to take the bait.

After the arrangement, Zhu Hongsan said to Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu: "You have to fire the first shot in this Central Plains War, and it is also the most important battle, only if you win, my logistics supply line can be worry-free, and I can deploy artillery to attack the fortified city of Jinan, so you must win this first battle, if you fail, I will fight to make my daughters sad and kill you!" You know? ”

Li Yuanyin and Zhao Hu heard what the emperor said so seriously, and hurriedly swore to the sky that they would definitely be able to win this battle.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and waved them down to prepare.

Yao Qisheng, a military aircraft officer of the Military Aircraft Department, said: "Your Majesty, the middle road is solved, but the west road is solved?" There are still 70,000 or 80,000 Manchu troops on the side of Zhangde Mansion, and they can also threaten the canal! ”

"It's all infantry on the other side of Mandahai, they are easy to say! The Military Aircraft Department sent a message to Ma Kun in Nanyang, telling them not to go to Shaanxi! Now that there is no Qing army in Shaanxi, let them go north to Zhangde, it is best to eliminate the Manda Haibu, if not, they must be contained, wait until Li Yuanyin eliminates Yue Le, and then encircle Zhangde with Ma Kun! ”

Yao Qisheng wrote down the emperor's order, and then asked, "Your Majesty, who is in charge of this side of the canal?" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, if it was all a supply fleet, it would not be much of a temptation for the Qing army, so it was better to go by himself, Yue Le knew that he would definitely be able to come if he followed the fleet north.

"All the other troops will be handed over to Zhao Guodong to command, let him lead the team to Tai'an Prefecture to wait for me, and I will personally lead the Praetorian Guard Division and the supply fleet north along the canal, and use me as this bait!"

Yao Qisheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you don't sit in the hall with a daughter's body, how can Your Majesty take risks on your own?" "Yao Qisheng still hasn't said a word, in case there is an accident that your emperor hangs, then the great cause of the Northern Expedition will be over.

Zhu Hongsan laughed: "Haha, I have fought dozens of battles since I started my army, and there are not ten thousand but seven or eight thousand people who died under my hands, so can you be afraid of war?" Besides, there are Praetorian Guards, they can protect me! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he asked Han Sanqiang, the commander of the Praetorian Guard Division beside him, "Sanqiang, what do you say?" ”

"Please rest assured, please rest assured that Yao Junji will use the whole family to guarantee that His Majesty will be safe and sound!"

Next, the whole army of Zhu Hongsan's group, which had been entrenched in Suqian for more than two months, was mobilized, and all of them were mobilized three days later. And Zhu Hongsan himself sat on the big ship prepared for him with great fanfare, followed by more than 200 transport ships, as well as more than 10,000 slender men recruited in Xuzhou, Suqian, and Huai'an, and went north along the canal together.

Zhu Hongsan's publicity of such a big event is to let the Manchus know that Lao Tzu did not take the land route, but went north by boat, you come and catch Lao Tzu!

The Manchu Qing's reaction was similar to Zhu Hongsan's estimate, and Jierharang, who was far away in Jinan, received a secret report from the spies, and immediately ordered Yue Le of the Daimyo Mansion to find an opportunity to destroy the supply fleet of the Ming army, and it was best to catch the Southern Ming Emperor who was not afraid of death.

The current situation in the Manchu Qing Dynasty is similar to Zhu Hongsan's estimate, except that Zhu Hongsan did not calculate that Yue Le's command was not 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, but 150,000 well-equipped cavalry. If Jin Yiwei's intelligence is more accurate, it is estimated that Zhu Hongsan, who is afraid of death, will definitely not dare to take the risk himself and be some shit bait.

After leaving Beijing, Zilharang knew that his main purpose this time was to defend the city, and it was a pity that the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry were consumed on the city wall. So he ordered Yue Le to bring all the 100,000 cavalry to the Daimyo's Mansion. At the same time, Wu Sangui also had more than 30,000 cavalry, these cavalry were Wu Sangui's old capital, of which 8,000 were the most elite Liaodong iron cavalry. There are also 20,000 cavalry brought out by Man Dahai and Meng Qiaofang from Shaanxi, a total of 150,000 people, all led by Yue Le, and the largest cavalry duel in the late Ming Dynasty will be staged in the land of eastern Henan.

The Manchu Qing side was well prepared and was waiting for Zhu Hongsan to come to his death. But Zhu Hongsan, who didn't know about it, was still grinding north along the canal here in Suqian.

The eastern section of the Grand Canal was the most seriously damaged in the late Ming Dynasty, and the gates have been damaged in many places, but fortunately, there are a large number of lakes in the eastern section of the canal, and as long as the damaged gates are repaired, the canal's transportation capacity will not be lost.

In this way, Zhu Hongsan led people to repair and walk, until the sixth day of the seventh month, and then walked to Jining, Shandong, which is still a few days away from the destination Dongpingzhou.

After coming out of Jining, Zhu Hongsan was very cautious, he ordered the Praetorian Guard Division to stand guard on both sides of the canal, and immediately enter the defense formation as soon as there was any movement, so that Jining was two hundred miles away from Ansan Lake, and Zhu Hongsan walked for ten days. But what made Zhu Hongsan wonder was that the entire Central Plains battlefield was quiet, the information from Jinyiwei that Yue Le's cavalry was still in the Daimyo's Mansion and did not move, Ji'er Harang was also in Jinan and did not move, and the Qing army in Dongchang Mansion did not go south, so wasn't the Manchu Qing Dynasty ready to fight their own supply lines?

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, this was impossible, it must be that Yue Le used some means to hide his Jinyi Wei secret agent, maybe the Manchu army was not far ahead.

As the fleet entered Ansan Lake, Zhu Hongsan was relieved. What he was worried about was that the canal was attacked by the Manchus, the canal was only more than ten meters wide, and more than 200 transport ships were connected end to end. But when you enter the lake area, you will feel much more at ease, although Ansan Lake is not big, but there are dozens of miles in radius, and the transport ships have to leave the shore for hundreds of meters, and the Manchu rockets will not be able to do anything. So when he entered the lake area, Zhu Hongsan put down his heart that had been hanging up in the past few months, although he didn't know that the Manchu Qing was doing it there, but he could sleep well tonight.
