847 Change of Mindset (3rd Shift)
In the new gold ruined city, an army separated in the early afternoon. In fact, it can't be regarded as an army, except for a small number of people, most of them are like beggars, not even beggars, all of them are hungry and tired, using the knives and guns in their hands as crutches, and when they see the city wall, they can no longer walk.
When Duoduo saw this, he was also very helpless. He also had to rely on these North Korean officers and soldiers to dig up the earth and build the wall, and it was impossible to summon them to death on the way. Therefore, he had to rest temporarily in Xinjin, and at the same time sent a horse to send a messenger to Shenyang to guard in the direction of Jinzhou, saying that he had arrived in Jinzhou and needed Shenyang to send troops to besiege Jinzhou together.
However, it was only in the evening, and one of the people sent out to Shenyang galloped back.
At this time, Duoduo was still in a slightly better big house, watching the Koreans renovate there, preparing to spend the night here. When the messenger found him, he told him the news he had heard halfway through, in a state of panic.
In ancient times, if not first-hand, news was often misrepresented by those who spread it in the middle. Even if someone says that they saw a chicken with a long tail, it will later be said that they saw a phoenix.
The news of the fall of Haizhou was exaggerated by the panicked Jianyu, but when Duoduo heard it, it was the Ming army that fell from the sky, and it was invincible, not only with countless cavalry, but also with invincible artillery. As soon as the Ming army arrived, Haizhou had fallen. Today, Anshan Post Fort is in danger, and Liaoyang is in danger. There is also news that after the Ming army occupied Haizhou, the troops went out to the east and were attacking Fuzhou, so they were ready to connect with Jinzhou.
Regardless of the rumors, there is one basic common denominator, which is that Haizhou has fallen in a short period of time.
Duoduo was shocked when he heard this, the past that he was originally stabbed by the Ming army had been buried in his heart, but he was engaged in it and was re-revealed. He remembered that it was good, but suddenly, there was a powerful Ming army, and it was still in ambush and waited for him to attack after entering the urn. At that time, the scene of the cannon roaring and the flesh and blood of his men appeared in his memory again. By analogy, it seems not uncommon for a powerful Ming army to appear in Haizhou.
At this moment, he was afraid. Because he understood that among the troops he brought this time, those Korean officers and soldiers did not have any combat power at all, and they were definitely not the opponents of the Ming army by themselves with more than 1,000 Qing troops.
He hurriedly ordered a large number of scouts to be sent to guard in all directions. At the same time, he was a little undecided, what should he do next?
A man like Dord, who was rampant when he was young, abused his opponents, and killed countless people, if he could continue to go on well, I am afraid that he would also be trained by him to experience a set of fighting skills, and be able to lead an army to fight a world alone; But such people often collapse after experiencing major setbacks. Unless he is restored to confidence by victory.
It's a pity that the battle of Jin Puzhen made him almost annihilated, and he fled in embarrassment, and the example of escaping his life by luck is engraved into his bones. Originally, Dorgon's enlightenment thought that he had forgotten it, and he had come out of it. But as soon as I heard the rumors of Haizhou today, I knocked him back to his original form. So much so that he forgot that there were still North Koreans building houses at the scene, and forgot that the blockade would disturb the morale of the army.
Before the exact news could be heard, the next morning, Duoduo suddenly found that most of the officers and soldiers he had brought with him from Korea had run away. Even the more than 1,000 Qing troops were also in panic, for fear that the Ming army's divine soldiers would descend from the sky and suddenly appear in this dilapidated Xinjin.
So, Duoduo ran away, and he ran away with more than 1,000 of his people, and he left behind what siege of Jinzhou and what atonement for his crimes, and now he feels that North Korea is safe.
However, when some Koreans fled to Jinzhou and surrendered, the Ming side learned that the North Korean side of Jianyu also ran over. It's just that with about a thousand prisoners, there is not enough food and grass, and just by virtue of this, he dares to come to besiege Jinzhou. The generals of the Dongjiang Army, who had been holding back for a winter, asked the governor of Denglai to fight.
Lu Xiangsheng had Wei Mulan by his side, so he naturally knew that Jianyu had already taken care of one thing and the other, and he didn't have time to react to the fact that Haizhou was recaptured by the Ming Dynasty, so how could he send troops to besiege Jinzhou. Therefore, he didn't have any worries, and immediately ordered five hundred cavalry troops, and asked Mao Chengzuo and Huang Degong to lead the troops to Xinjin's side to meet the army of Duoduo for a while.
The number of people is smaller than that of Jianyu, and they have to go out to fight in the field, which is almost unimaginable if it were replaced by before. However, at this time, the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army took it for granted one by one. After more than a year of victorious watering, the soldiers of the Ming army have a psychological advantage and are no longer afraid of the Manchus. On the contrary, Jianyu has suffered successive defeats, and the psychological advantages they have accumulated have been lost unconsciously.
For this point, Lu Xiangsheng, who watched the hussar camp go away from the city, had a feeling. Yes, he is very pleased. The most important thing in this war is people, it is morale. He had enough reason to believe that the Ming army would become stronger and stronger against Shang Jianyu, and there would be more and more victories. Therefore, this potential has been dispatched by the emperor in the middle and has taken a year to create it.
When he learned that Duoduo on the Xinjin side had led his troops back to Korea, he couldn't help but be very excited, and after looking at the map of Liaodong, he immediately instructed Wei Mulan beside him: "Play to Your Majesty, just say that Fuzhou Jianyu has become a lone army, and I can send troops to eat it in the encirclement of Haizhou, Gaizhou's army and Dongjiang army." This battle is fully assured by this official, and I ask Your Majesty for permission. ”
Wei Mulan was very happy to hear this, Daming continued to recover the lost city, I am afraid that it will not take a few years to recover the entire Liaodong.
Thinking so, she immediately responded and entered the chat group to report to the emperor.
What they didn't expect was that after Emperor Chongzhen saw this private chat asking for war, he finally refused.
"Why?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out, and immediately asked, he was completely sure that he could win!
Wei Mulan looked at Lu Xiangsheng and replied: "Your Majesty said that the recovery of Liaodong is not a gain or loss in one city or one place, so what about taking Fuzhou?" Now that the imperial court is not ready, the forces of Liaodong must be used in a centralized manner, not dispersed to various places! ”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly remembered the sixteen-character art of war that Emperor Chongzhen had taught him before.
"Your Majesty also said that at present, our grain and grass materials are not enough to support the continuous war, and it is not difficult to take the coastal areas of Fuzhou. The focus now is to hoard enough troops in Haizhou and put enough pressure on Jianyu. ”
