Attacking Tianjin Sanwei is not a difficult task for the soldiers and horses of Manchuria, and this Tianjin is not a one-time battle, and the fortifications have long been broken and abnormal.

And with the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the city, thousands of cavalry rushed over to catch ducks and chickens, and it was easy to spend effort on Abatai, but to persuade this Belle Turichen, so that this Baylor, who had never fought much, knew that he was not underestimating the enemy, but fighting seriously.

This Tuli Chenbeile, one sister is the favorite concubine of Huang Taiji, and the other sister is the Fujin of Dolgon, the Prince of Rui, no matter who he says a few words to, he will break his muscles and bones!

But in this military camp, it is his own territory, and he is out on the expedition, so he has persuaded and persuaded this Turichen Belle properly, and when the time comes, the gold and silver women who have been captured will give this Baylor some more, although Korqin Baylor is noble, he has never been to the Ming Kingdom, and he has not enjoyed anything.

Presumably, this beautiful woman of the Ming Kingdom, gold, silver and jade, silk and satin, these rich things are all less knowledgeable, more looted, and fed, everyone is naturally one heart.

In this conversation in the military tent, Abatai can be regarded as letting go of most of his thoughts, and this Turi Chenbeile is reasonable and can understand in words.

After talking about the above, the two of them talked about the characters and stories of Hui Shengjing, and they were going to eat and drink together at noon, but they didn't expect Yue Le to walk in at this time, and when they saw Tu Lichen in the tent, they were stunned, but then they lowered their eyebrows and said:

"General, Lord Belle, in the past four or five days, we have captured more than 100 spies and spies of the Ming Kingdom, and tomorrow we will send troops to attack Tianjin.

Sacrificing the flag with blood to boost morale, this is the tradition of the Eight Banners, according to the rules, the main general of the army will be present to watch, Abatai and Turichen both know this truth. Glancing at each other, Turichen first stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, Abatai was heartbroken, got up with a smile, and the two walked out together.

Don't look at this Tu Lichen is a son, but he is a little different from the family in the south and north of the Ming River. To put it bluntly, he is also a barbarian, and on weekdays in the tribe, he doesn't know how many bloody scenes of murder he has seen in Shengjing, and this flag sacrifice is also commonplace, but he is a little excited.

"Yue Le, the order of the attack of each team tomorrow has been scheduled, you can confirm with each battalion and each department before tonight, so as not to make mistakes."

Leading the way in front, Yue Le bowed down and agreed. When he looked up, he glanced at Tu Lichen. That Turichen immediately understood the meaning. He smiled and said:

"General. I'll go back to my tent and get something. Wait for the meeting on the school field! ”

After speaking, he led his own personal soldiers and his entourage to turn around and leave first. Abatai frowned. Yue Le hurriedly walked over. Leaned closer and whispered:

"Amma. Didn't you confess to let the two white flags get more benefits? This time it was two white flags playing forward. But just now, the white flag Huli Haibeizi found the child in private. said that he did not want to be a striker. Willing to be a backteam. ”

Hear this. Abatay's eyes widened in surprise. Assign the task of who rushes ahead of each flag ground. It has always been the most headache for this expedition. Fighting a war is secondary. Anyway, the odds of winning with the Ming army are ten. But each flag also has the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The people on the side of the king of Sanshun. Everyone wants to rush to the front. Everyone wants to reap more benefits. Behind every gang and every team is a big force. I can't afford to offend the ground.

Among these forces, there are only two yellow flags. The two white flags are the second to offend. Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the two white flags are arranged in front. Who would have thought of it to be like this. Unexpectedly, he was unwillingly reluctant to move forward. Willing to be the queen of the palace. It's weird.

"Why don't you want to go!?"

The child also smiled and asked, but Hulihai didn't look like any spirit. He was also muffled and silent. Amma, I remember that last time Prince Rui went to Shandong and suffered a small loss. Did you lose a few hundred people? ”

Hearing this, Abatai's heart sank, that matter was rumored among Dorobelle and the relatives and nobles of the upper level, but the two white flags concealed the matter well, so no one inquired about it, it was just a vague rumor, Yue Le continued:

"Looking at this Hu Lihai, I feel that it is the defeated general, almost half of the bannermen under his hands are Han people who directly carry the flag from the clothes, if they don't suffer a big loss, who wants to use so many Han people."

"A soft thing without bones, this army operation, how can you suffer any losses, and you won't go to him to make money!"

Abatai scolded there in a low voice, and said to Yue Le with a gloomy face:

"It's not clear what to say, he's not willing to go, it's best if he sends out our blue-flag-studded protector flags tomorrow, our own sons can't be mean."

Yue Le's face showed joy, and he hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

The delay was not long, Abatai and Yue Le rushed to the school with the guards, and the lowest rank of the generals brought by the school was also the leader, after the guards passed loudly, Abatai strode to the temporary wooden platform, and all the generals stood up in unison and saluted.

Standing on the wooden platform, Abatai stretched out his hand and pressed down, the generals in the field sat down with a bang, most of the places in the north are plains, and it is very simple to clear a flat land outside the barracks, in front of the position where the Manchu and Mongolian generals are sitting, there are a hundred Han people who are tied up, and behind these tied Han people are Qing soldiers with knives and axes, waiting for orders there.

First the shaman pretended to be a ghost in the room, and the people did the ritual to their heart's content, and Turichen Belle sat behind Abataidi, and they could not say anything in awe of the shamanic ritual, and there they talked in whispers, whispering:

"Lord Belle, look at those Han dogs under the platform, all of them are pigs and sheep, no one dares to move, such a Ming Kingdom, even if it is big, they deserve anything, they are pigs and sheep, our warriors are tigers and wolves, tigers and wolves eat pigs and sheep, don't worry!!"

Looking at the listlessness of those Han people waiting to be slaughtered, and there were no angry expressions on their faces, and sure enough, they were docile, Tu Lichen smiled to himself. laughed at himself for his worries a few days ago, such a Ming Kingdom, even if it is big, is not worth mentioning.

The shaman over there has already finished the ceremony, and he is in front of those Han "spies" and "sentinels", and the Manchurian shaman is in the eyes of the Han people. It was like a ghost, with blood on its face and bones and feathers on its body, and it was there with its teeth and claws, jumping and screaming.

Although the captured Han people knew that the time of death was near, they still did not dare to look up, and sometimes the shaman jumped closer, and the bound Han people shrank back in fear, which made the shaman more majestic. He also deliberately jumped towards the captives a few times.

After the ceremony, the shaman was about to say a few words such as the gods blessing the army to march and win, when he heard a noise behind him. Looking back, a bound Han man jumped up from the pile of people and rushed towards him viciously, this sudden action frightened the shaman, he couldn't take it off guard, staggered back, didn't know what he tripped over, and fell directly to the ground, and the atmosphere that he had just pretended to be a ghost was dissipated by this wrestling.

The Han man who jumped up was quickly caught by the Qing soldiers who reacted behind him. Pressed to the ground, on the wooden platform, the Tartar generals who were originally bored to look at it, all turned their attention to this side, staring at the field, although this ceremony was boring, but it also had other meanings.

Seeing the shaman's embarrassed appearance, some young Eight Banner generals laughed out loud, but Abatai, who was sitting on the platform, had an ugly face and was silent and silent.

The Han prisoner who was suddenly martyred. The treatment of the past few days is not good, Fang Cai's pounce is the strength he has accumulated for a long time, he was held down by the soldiers of the Qing army, and he couldn't move after a few struggles, but his action also brought death to himself first.

The shaman got up from the ground, heard the laughter on the wooden platform, and was also a little annoyed, and jumped to his feet and pointed at the holding Han man and shouted:

"Slaughtered this pig and dog first, slaughtered him first!"

The Qing soldiers in the back looked at the ground order flag on the stage, which was already waving. Whoever dies first and who dies later might as well give this shaman some favors. Several people pressed the Han man down with all their hands, and one raised the big knife in his hand. was about to cut down, but the first Han man to be killed didn't know the strength of the comeback, so he raised his head desperately and shouted in a hissed voice:

"Tartar waits, someone avenges me......"

Before he finished speaking, he was already raising his hand, and a cavity of blood spurted out, and when he shouted, the Tartar generals in the audience could hear it clearly, Abatai's face became even more gloomy, followed by a sneer, and said:

"Who avenged you, joke!!"

After the first person was killed, the rest of the captured Han people all cried, but no one struggled to resist, or even scolded, they were just crying and begging for mercy, and they watched their companions being cut off their heads one by one, and finally it was their turn.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all moving towards the Beijing Division, so who dares to send sentry spies to come, these more than 100 sentry spies and spies are nothing more than Han civilians who have no time to run or look unpleasant.

A white-armored soldier beside Abatai had already run up from below, leaned over to Abatai's side and whispered:

"Master, the one who shouted below just now is from the road guide on his body, it is a person from Shandong, his name is Chenghai, and he says that he is a businessman."

There was no sound here, but Tu Lichen opened his mouth and said, "A knife is cut, I think it's cheaper for him"......

The Han people who were struggling to resist just now were the leaders of the Shandong Salt Gang stationed in the Beizhili area, Chenghai, the Manchu army entered the customs, and the matter was urgent, and the entire Shandong Salt Gang and the Lingshan Commercial Bank were caught off guard by the heads of the people stationed in Beizhili, but the next thing to do was to send the information to Shandong at all costs.

All those who could ride horses were mobilized, and for the sake of insurance, many people had to go from different roads, and the route taken by Cheng Hai was more unlucky, just caught by the Manchu cavalry patrol, and sent directly back to the camp.

Cheng Hai knew that he would inevitably die, but he also knew that the messenger who went in other directions should be able to deliver the news, this time it was a message, the thing that confirmed the identity of the Shandong Salt Gang, the Tartar could not show up at all, and the other party could not know that he was a member of the Jiaozhou battalion, which was enough.

One of the things that the Shandong Salt Gang is most proud of is that except for those who deal with Shandong, except for those who let Shandong know to other places, the rest of the information has always been very good in blockade.

Chenghai's family is living a peaceful and prosperous life in Shandong. And Cheng Hai also knows that with his death, his family's life will be even richer, and the Jiaozhou battalion's compensation for the dead soldiers has always been satisfactory and extraordinarily rich. Cheng Hai was just sorry before he died. If you follow the momentum of the Jiaozhou camp exhibition in recent years, as well as your own position in this Shandong salt gang, you may be able to succeed in a big event, and you can also glorify your ancestors.

But he couldn't see anything, thinking of this, Cheng Hai still couldn't help it.

The process of attacking Tianjin City on the second day was even more boring than the sacrificial flag on the day before the battle, and the Ming army did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the Manchu army, but only dared to defend the fortifications. Waiting for Uzhenha's artillery to set up the artillery, and after firing a few shots, opened the gap in the fortification. Then there is no suspense.

From the siege to the end, it only took half a day, the defenders in the city in the lead of the foot soldiers rushed in, it was completely dispersed, what is even more chaotic is that these routs began to plunder and plague the people in the city, this is what the Manchu soldiers and horses want to do.

It took half a day to fight, but this stable order was tossed for a day, and in the end the city was robbed of what was possible. What can be taken and caught is collected and obtained, this is the reward for the meritorious troops, and the city will be washed for a day.

Washing the city is the most motivating move to motivate the barbarian soldiers, making these people slash and kill in the city, completely turn into beasts, slaughter and plunder, and release everything, of course. This incident was happy for the Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers and horses, but for the Han people in Tianjin, it was a great disaster.

The Manchu Tartars entered the customs several times, all of which were disasters, slaughtering the city and looting, and such animal behaviors are too numerous to mention.

On November 19 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Tartar army that broke through the Tianjin Sanwei was reorganized and began to march along the Caoyun Canal to Hejian Fu.

On November 21, the Manchu army easily broke through the city of Jinghai. Jinghai County ordered martyrdom.

This way to the call. Among the Manchu and Mongolian troops led by the general Abatai, many of them were Mongol stragglers who had only joined the Duoyan Sanwei. Originally, it was trembling, and many of the Manchu and Mongolian troops were recruits, and they had little experience in combat, but the momentum was like a bamboo on the way, and the Ming army was invincible.

But it was to let these Mongolian horse bandits, Manchurian recruits gradually cultivate their own confidence, tempered their combat effectiveness, the originally somewhat unstable army, after entering the Hejian Mansion, but slowly kneaded together, stronger and stronger.

After entering the Hejian Province, Abatai's marching formation has changed again, and it is no longer so casual and disregardful, but a regular marching battle.

Because no matter what kind of scattered position he posed, the Ming court and army ignored it, and just desperately gathered troops and horses towards the Beijing division, and there was no enemy army entering our country at all, scourging and slaughtering my Ming people, and the Ming army should attack and die with the concept or idea of the battlefield.

Time back to a few days ago, November 15, Jinan City, Shandong.

The messenger who sent the letter to Li Meng in Nanzhili had already been sent out, and the army of the Tatar land was in Beizhili, and Beizhili was adjacent to Shandong.

Jinan Mansion was originally the second in Shandong Province in terms of taxation and the second in terms of acres of land, and now it is the administrative and military center of Jiaozhou Battalion, and key departments such as the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau are also in Jinan Mansion, not to mention those large warehouses built on official roads and canals.

Needless to say, the armory and silver vault in Jinan City are also first-class and first-class key locations, and the entire Jiaozhou battalion goes up to Li Meng and down to the squad, and almost all the military families are in this Jinan City, don't forget, when the Jiaozhou battalion was relocated, most of the military households of Lingshanwei and Aoshanwei were moved here.

Whether it is from people, from property, from geographical location, in all senses, Jinan Mansion is a place that cannot be abandoned.

"Since the marshal raised the army, a hundred battles have been won, not a defeat, if you withdraw from Jinan City, go to other state capitals to avoid trouble, not to mention whether so many people and property can go in time, simply this go, I am afraid that the people of Shandong and the people who are close to my Jiaozhou battalion will be in an uproar, everyone will definitely think, Jiaozhou battalion is not strong in the middle, other soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty do not dare to fight Tartars, and I Shandong soldiers and horses do not dare to fight Tartars, isn't this the same straw bale? Now the plan cannot be withdrawn, but can only fight!! ”

The enemy is approaching, and all the people left in charge of the Jiaozhou battalion in Jinan Mansion are concentrated on the side of the general army yamen. Even a few people from the inner house were present, and the housekeeper Rosie commanded the servants of the family to set up a semi-closed screen curtain on the side of the handsome case where Li Meng sat on weekdays, so that several ladies could listen and participate in the discussion here.

This is a discussion between the shogunate and the general army yamen, and of course other civil officials in Shandong are not qualified to participate, but the Shandong patrol, the political envoy yamen, and the Jinan prefect are already in a panic, and they don't know what to do.

When Zhou Yang came over. The prefect of Jinan entrusted him to bring a piece of news, saying that now all the yamen in Jinan in Shandong are thinking of going to Shandong to take refuge, thinking that the three prefectures of Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou are blocked, and second, Li Meng has been operating there for many years, so it is safer to go there.

Zhou Yang, the same governor of Jinan Mansion, came to the main hall of this yamen and said that the first person to oppose it was Ning Qiangui, and Zhou Yang was able to express this opinion, so he naturally had similar thoughts in his heart. Or within the Jiaozhou battalion system, there are also some people who have this idea.

The character of the literati, when encountering such a life-and-death event. It's often a little soft, and it's normal to always want to run away. What's more critical is that Li Meng is not here at this time, he is in Nanzhili, and he has no backbone, and even if he counts this time, the messenger will deliver the news, and I am afraid that it will be too late for the army to rush back.

No matter how you look at it. This Jinan City is an extremely dangerous place, and it is normal for Zhou Yang and his men to have the intention of avoiding war.

Besides, the Jiaozhou battalion was rampant all over the world, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the army of displaced people were not their opponents, but except for the small battle a few years ago, there was no record of fighting.

The Jiaozhou battalion is quite low-key both internally and externally, but the Manchu soldiers and horses are already famous, and countless Ming generals have died in the battle with the Tartars. Recently, the more than 100,000 Ming troops in Songshan were also broken up by the Tartar army, and under this comparison, I still felt that the Manchu soldiers and horses were stronger.

Compared with Zhou Yang, who is a pure scribe, Ning Qiangui is much more single, he is a showman, and he can be regarded as a member of the Wenchen team of the Jiaozhou battalion, but in the final analysis, he is still a businessman with a lot of temperament, and Ning Qiangui can maintain a relatively calm attitude to judge the interests and disadvantages. And argue with reason.

The two collars of the Jiaozhou battalion Wenchen. One is Zhou Yang, and the other is Ning Qiangui. The two of them were arguing like this, and the scene was suddenly a little cold, and others didn't know what to say for a while.

After a little quiet, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Neng, who was sitting on the left, and now Li Meng was not there, and Zhao Neng, the general who was guarding Dengzhou, was the highest military commander, and the 15,000 Dengzhou army he brought was currently the largest armed force in Shandong, and his opinion was of course important.

At this time, Zhao Neng's face was sad and joyless, quite calm, he had always been like this, although his eyes were focused on him, but Zhao Neng didn't want to express his opinion, everyone present, whether it was the master mother or the old lady, or even the Mr. Gongsun with the iron mask, had more say than himself.

Zhao Neng has always been cautious, and in the current situation, if he rashly expresses his opinion, it will not be a good thing to reach Li Meng's ears in the future, although the two sides are like brothers.

This is also the difference in the thinking of the civil and military, Zhou Yang and many officials and literati outside all feel that it is a catastrophe, but for Zhao Neng, it is a troublesome battle, the enemy may be relatively strong, and it needs to be treated carefully, this is the idea of the generals of the Jiaozhou battalion, they are more confident than the literati.

"The current situation is not so bad, the soldiers who stay in Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou come to Jinan Mansion, then Jinan Mansion can have more than 23,000 soldiers and horses, plus Jinan itself, there can be almost 27,000, as long as it can block the Tartars for a period of time, the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou Mansion, the soldiers and horses of Guide Mansion, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Marshal will return in time to help, and this will be a complete advantage at that time, and now we can't panic."

The voice was a little sharp, and everyone listened quietly, because this was the handsome uncle, the old eunuch Liu Fulai was talking, and the old eunuch was the Nanjing town guard eunuch who was in charge of one side back then, and the overall situation of the place was naturally extraordinary.

"The Tartar army is coming south, what we have to do is not only for self-preservation, but also to show the people of the world, the strength of the soldiers and horses in Shandong, the marshal led the army to the south, but there are Tartars who took advantage of the situation, this itself is already a crisis, if you don't use this matter to get some back, then all these years of planning are all empty, how will you deal with yourself?"

The old eunuch Liu Fulai hadn't appeared outside for a long time. His body is also getting worse day by day, but at this time of emergency, he still appeared in front of everyone, and he didn't look confused at all, his spirit was bright, and his voice was firm.

The old eunuch finished speaking. Zhou Yang, who was still blushing and had a thick neck and wanted to argue a few words, also quieted down, and quieted down again, and heard Yan Ruoran in the screen say indifferently:

"My husband's foundation is here, I can't leave lightly, you don't need to worry about a few concubines and sisters, righteousness comes first, which is more important, and the concubines can still be separated."

Yan Ruoran's words set the tone, and even the embarrassed Zhou Yang was awe-inspiring. Zhao Neng, who had always been silent, stood up at this time and said in a muffled voice:

"In Jinan Prefecture, there can be more than 5,000 soldiers and horses that can be gathered in two days. Coupled with the headquarters of the Dengzhou Army, it is more than enough to hold half of this Jinan Mansion. ”

Zhao Neng can be regarded as a promise to everyone present, although they all know that it is a scene, but many people can't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, but Sun Chuanting, who has always been silent, spoke at this time.

On this occasion, Sun Chuanting knew that he was still an outsider, and it was not suitable for him to intervene when there was a dispute between positions and lines, but now it was his scope. The voice under the iron mask was muffled, but everyone in the hall listened attentively, and everyone knew how much the big boss relied on this Mr. Gongsun.

"The places where Jinan Mansion and Beizhili meet are low hills and flat slopes, which are suitable for the action of the Tartar ground horse team, but the foot soldiers of my Jiaozhou battalion are limited, the other party is alone, they can come and go vertically and horizontally, relying on looting and supplies, it is extremely difficult for my Jiaozhou battalion soldiers and horses to preset the battlefield."

The room became quieter and quieter. Everyone was listening.

"The old man talked to the foreigner Ouman, saying that it was in most of the terrain of Jinan Mansion, and the infantry phalanx of my Jiaozhou battalion could not be calmly opened, and they could not fight without formation. Moreover, with my infantry phalanx, the movement must be slower than that of the horse team, and the Tartars can even ignore my Shandong soldiers and horses, and go around to the empty place without soldiers, which is another trouble! ”

Zhao Neng on the side nodded again and again. At present, he has less than 2,000 horses at his disposal. There is too much difference between mobility and the Tartar, if the Tartar goes around it regardless of it. There's really no chance he'll be able to catch up.

"And according to the news reported by Beizhili, the Tartars are going south along the canal this time, that should be to go from Dezhou to Linqing, Jinan City is to avoid, but if the Tartar army breaks through Linqing and enters Yanzhou along the canal, the thousands of soldiers in Yanzhou Mansion are afraid that they will be tight, Dongchang and Yanzhou are the places where Shandong is plastered, if the Tartars are allowed to loot and destroy, I am afraid it will hurt the vitality of my Shandong."

Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui both took out paper and pen to record there, and inside the screen partition, I don't know if it was Gu Hengbo or Liu Ruyi, who was also recording.

"Count this time, it is very likely that when the Tartars' brigade went to Yanzhou Mansion, the marshal's soldiers and horses had just rushed back from Nanzhili, and the Yanzhou army of Zhangjiang and the soldiers and horses of Guide Mansion were rushing back on the border of Yulu, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops in the heart of the heart, and the Yanzhou Mansion was the junction of the four provinces, and the surroundings were unstable, and there were King Lu and Confucius Mansion in Yanzhou Mansion, and the army was fighting, I am afraid that my Shandong soldiers and horses may not have taken advantage of their own territory and battle, and it is not good to move the whole body in front of it, and it is out of control."

Hearing what Sun Chuanting said was so dangerous, Zhao Neng couldn't sit still, stood up and asked solemnly:

"What does Mr. Gongsun mean is that our army should not stick to Jinan, but should take the initiative to meet the battle?"

"General Zhao is right, our army should not only stick to Jinan, but should take the initiative to attack, the Caoyun Canal from Tongzhou all the way to the south, in Dezhou into Shandong and then along the west line to the south, through Dongchang Mansion into Yanzhou Mansion, this Dezhou is the pass, Jinan Mansion is mostly hilly slopes, and Dezhou to the north of a horse Pingchuan, although it is suitable for the Tartars of the horse team vertically and horizontally, but it is also suitable for the formation of my Jiaozhou battalion foot soldiers, the Tartars march along the river, we also guard along the river, if the Tartars want to travel along the river without worry, then they must fight with the troops and horses led by General Zhao, as long as you can buy time and wait for the marshal and the follow-up reinforcements to rush back, then everything will be fine. ”

Sun Chuanting talked eloquently, at length, and after he finished speaking, the room was silent, all thinking about what he said, and the army marched. Even the Manchu army with a large number of horses needs to rely on waterways, even if it is a frozen waterway, needless to say that tens of thousands of horses need ground water sources, and they must rely on the river.

In the same way, as long as the Jiaozhou camp army is also on the side of the Caoyun Canal. If the Manchus wanted to continue southward, they would have to fight a war, because the canal was not only a way to come, but also a back road, and if the obstacles on it were not removed, the morale of the army would have a great impact even if they did not go to war.

Even if the Tatars did not go along the canal, but still attacked Jinan, there was only one Dezhou through the passage into Jinan Prefecture on the 6th, and Dezhou was also on the side of the canal.

This shows that Sun Chuanting's choice is wise. As long as the point of Dezhou is choked, no matter if the Qing army wants to continue to move south, it will still attack Jinan. They must all pass the level of Texas, although there are many Tartar horses, and the mobility is far better than that of the Jiaozhou battalion, which is dominated by foot soldiers, but as long as it is the card owner, then it has to fight.

Unless the Tartars want to go to Henan or wander around in Beizhili, Henan is a mess, and Beizhili has been washed many times, and the Tartar army can only come to Shandong as long as they maintain normal judgment and intelligence. Moreover, Jinan Mansion in Shandong has been looted by Dolgon once, and its vitality is greatly damaged, and its value is also very low, and the Tartar will definitely continue to go south, and the most valuable place in Shandong is the richest Yanzhou Mansion, as well as Nanzhili behind Yanzhou Mansion.

Although the world is big, it seems that there is nowhere to go, and the action is from the heart. Even if the birds flying between heaven and earth are free, they still need a place to perch, and even more so for the actions of the army, the transportation of baggage, the supply of grain and grass, and the purpose of the action can all be inferred.

Sun Chuanting led the Shaanxi border soldiers to fight with the army of displaced people led by Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. Lead the army to meet the attack, set up an ambush and choose the battlefield. The layout is quite concise.

This kind of judgment of the military situation, the prediction of the actions of the great army. The Jiaozhou battalion's generals are indeed deficient, and almost all of the battles around Shandong are encounters after the battlefield is determined, and even if the battlefield cannot be defined in advance, they will preset it through various means to seize the advantageous terrain, and then use their strictly trained arrays and superior weapons to meet them.

However, for example, Sun Chuanting, a kind of general quality that completely belongs to this era, is a little lacking in the general situation of the mobilization of large troops and the judgment of the enemy in this general environment, even Li Meng, the general of the Jiaozhou battalion. Not to mention Zhou Yang and Ning Qiangui, who are literati.

After all, the old eunuch Liu Fulai had been a eunuch in Nanjing, and he was well-informed, and when he heard Sun Chuanting say this, he naturally understood the importance of these words, called a maid, helped himself up, walked to the back of the screen, discussed a few words in a low voice, turned around and said loudly:

"Mr. Gongsun's analysis of this matter is very good, at this time the marshal is in Southern Province, according to the instructions before leaving, please ask Mr. Gongsun to come out with a charter!"

The old eunuch is equivalent to Li Meng's family, and the female dependents of the inner house are not suitable for coming out, and now he is the one who takes the idea, what he said is really heartfelt, but before he said that he went behind the screen once, of course, he wanted Yan Ruoran and Mu Yunyao to have an idea, after all, the relationship between these female dependents and Li Meng is closer, and the insights of these hostesses have to be said separately.

"Just according to what my uncle said, please ask Mr. Gongsun to come out with a charter!"

Yan Ruoran's clear voice sounded behind the screen, which was regarded as a countersignature to Liu Fulai's words, and Zhao Neng, who stood up, heard this voice, and hurriedly bowed to Sun Chuanting with his fists.

Although this etiquette is very simple, it is a gesture, indicating that Sun Chuanting can already issue orders at this time, and Sun Chuanting behind the iron mask is not excited, but he is a little emotional, Li Meng's arrangement when he leaves is really strict, there will be no opportunity to usurp power, and there will be no loss of efficiency in command and delay.

Now that it has been determined, Sun Chuanting has nothing to postpone with hypocrisy, and this situation can't help him to be hypocritical or hesitant, so he smiled at the surroundings and said:

"In this case, the old man has overstepped, madam, may I ask, how many armed Yanding and village guards can be used in Jinan Mansion?"

After a while, someone behind the screen answered:

"Most of the people in Jinan Mansion are relatives of the children of the Jiaozhou battalion army, not as good as other places, but the armed salt ding and the village guard team are both inside and outside Jinan City, and there can be about 7,000 people who can gather here in two days."

This voice was Mu Yun Yaodi, Sun Chuanting nodded, groaned slightly, turned to Zhao Neng and said:

"Although these 7,000 people are slightly less, but it is enough to defend Jinan, General Zhao, you have 15,000 soldiers and horses, plus 2,000 experimental battalions, and 2,000 old battalions left in Jinan City, a total of more than 19,000 soldiers and horses, one day later, go to the north of Dezhou, Jingzhou East, and set up camp by the canal, please General Zhao have a preparation, this is a three-day journey to the east of Jingzhou, and it will take five days for the Tartar army to get there, and it will be a great achievement to hold seven days after three days!!"

On November 17 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, 19,000 soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion went out from Jinan and rushed to the north. It's not the end of the month
