Chapter 520: Two Orders

In the month of Layue, there is sea ice on the side of Dengju and Incheon, and it is even more windy and rough, and it is extremely inconvenient for ships to go to sea.

The defense line set up by Wang Hai at the junction of Korea and Liaodong is still very safe, of course, the two small cities of Anzhou and Yanchuan plus the fortifications with firearms, Duoduo and Aobai's army that has been drained of a lot of strength really does not have much way, but Wang Hai's thousands of people cannot attack at present, they can only defend.

However, this news came back in mid-November, and counting the time wasted on the sea route, this should be the situation of the Korean garrison at the end of October.

The spies of the Inventory Division, which is subordinate to the Shandong Salt Gang system, are really racking their brains, and now although the control area of the Manchu Tartars is attacked from the belly and back, or even from all sides, the basic shelf is still there, and the intelligence is not so easy to probe.

On the 10th day of the lunar month, the news finally came from Shanhaiguan with a fast horse that the defense line built by the Korean garrison was still safe and maintained in the state of November, and that about 15,000 Han people had been recruited and settled with the help of the Korean state.

Li Meng's greatest concern is that this lone army in North Korea, the situation on the Korean side, once the sea is cut off in winter, the land route is not opened, if at this time, the Tartar soldiers and horses are not able to lose the onslaught to launch an onslaught, then the Korean garrison is really dangerous.

Since there was nothing to do there, Li Meng also put his mind at ease, in the grasslands around Liaoxi, the Mongols had already stationed nearly 100,000 cavalry there.

The basin of the Xiaoling River is very close to the area of Shengjing and Liaoyang, although the grassland is a heavy snow fiefdom, but if such a force pounces, the Tartars will have to mobilize more than sixty percent of their strength to resist, naturally they dare not move, but Chen Yongfu and they also know that if they rashly drive all the forces to attack, it is not possible that the seemingly powerful Mongolian tribes will fall apart like this.

Each other has scruples and restrains each other, plus Gao Di, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, who was blocked east of Funing by Zhang Jiang, the general soldier of Hebei, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of the Ningyuan regiment training on the other side of the Liaoxi Corridor, in fact, the possible direction of the Manchu Tatars' attack on the Ming Dynasty has been blocked.

The Manchu Tartars have been trapped in the place outside the Guan, and it is impossible to enter the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, since the situation is so stable, Li Meng has no worries.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the Duke of Qi issued an order about Zhao Neng, the general soldier of Denglai, the Denglai army expanded by 20,000, and after the Yellow River could be passed next year, 40,000 soldiers and horses crossed Henan through the Yellow River, and entered Shaanxi through Tongguan to quell the rebellion of thieves.

At present, the biggest thief Li Zicheng has been injured in Henan, and in the land of Shaanxi, a lot of homeless people have gone out, and a lot of officers and soldiers have gone out.

On the three sides of Shaanxi, the border towns of the Ming Dynasty have been defended for three hundred years, and most of the time, the center of gravity is in Shaanxi and Shanxi, but Liaozhen has been peaceful for many years.

As long as Shaanxi is occupied, Shanxi, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, may not be able to hold it, and as long as Shaanxi and Shanxi are in Li Meng's hands, this Beizhili will be in the bag.

Of course, Li Meng also has his own considerations, the green salt in Shaanxi has always been the best quality in the private salt business, the Lingshan Commercial Bank has not cut off this trade route, and the situation in Shaanxi is also correspondingly understood, the army of displaced people has taken away a lot of young and strong, and the officers and soldiers have taken away a lot of border soldiers.

This Shaanxi and Henan are the same, after this successive wars, there will also be a large number of ownerless land vacant, now the year is restored, the weather is gradually normal, after a little management of Tuntian, it is also a huge wealth.

The taxes of Xi'an Mansion are among the top few among the state capitals of the Ming Dynasty, and such a big piece of fat meat cannot be easily given to others.

If you let the Mongolized Turks of Western Mongolia come in, burn and loot, and leave yourself with a land of ruins, which will cost money and effort to clean up, wouldn't it be worth it.

It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot your own troops in, anyway, sooner or later it is necessary to arrange troops to occupy it, Shaanxi and Sichuan are connected to Hanzhong, and it will be much more convenient for the army to enter Sichuan at that time, not to mention that it is already a very empty place in Shanxi.

Qi Guogong also has the commonly known four King Kongs, Zhao Neng, the chief soldier of Denglai, is the oldest, but his ability is very mediocre, he can complete the task given to him by Li Meng very well, but he can't change anything, of course, in many cases, it is enough to have such loyalty.

Now in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and other places, the only thing that can form resistance is some local troops of the Ming army, and the Jiaozhou battalion has advantages in all aspects against such troops.

Zhao Neng's military operations in these three places will certainly be quite smooth, and with Zhao Neng's character, he will also give priority to handling local affairs, and will not cause any backlash against the three sides of Shaanxi, which are already struggling, and the trembling provinces of Shanxi and Sichuan.

For Li Meng, as the Duke of Qi, as the leader of the Jiaozhou battalion system, it is the goal to lead everyone forward, but he also has to balance the various forces under his command, although everyone is loyal, but ambition is not something that a person is born with, but a combination of various conditions that are born and acquired.

If a person has too much strength, it is inevitable that there will be some unrealistic ideas, and Li Meng has also been balancing this matter.

Chen Liu's current expansion of the army has expanded to 40,000, and Ma Gang's side will also expand the army accordingly, after the expansion of the two sides is completed, the two armies of Zhang Jiang of the Hebei Army and Zhao Neng of the Denglai Army can only catch up with them together, and Henan itself is a large province, and Shandong does not have any topographical advantages or convenient transportation for Henan.

Only by expanding Zhao Neng's military strength and placing him in the Shaanxi area can a new balance be formed in the already changed Jiaozhou battalion system.

These words naturally can't be said, they are all imperial tricks, and they are too damning, so everyone can know it.

After the promulgation of this news by the Duke of Qi, it was immediately sent to the heads of the various Jiaozhou battalions and yamen, with the current influence of the Jiaozhou battalion, this move can be regarded as publicizing the world, and it is Li Meng who gave Zhao Neng's official title this time - Shaanxi General.

The general number of the expedition to the west and Pingnan, although it is similar or even the same as the general number added by Daming to the generals of the Nine Border Army, can also be said to be a miscellaneous general, which should not be counted, this Qi Guogong Li Meng is now directly awarded to the generals with the name of Shaanxi General, which is the ambition to show the world.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty did not have this habit of using place names before the general's number, Li Meng's Duke of Qi was just the military affairs of the governor Lu, Yu, Jihuai, and Shaanxi, which was not within the scope of his defense, but he swaggered to take over the military affairs of this place and awarded it to the generals.

After this incident, even a fool can see this Li Meng's disobedience, which is clearly telling the world that the person who speaks effectively now is not Emperor Chongzhen, but Li Meng, the Duke of Qi.

After the people of the world gasped, they all reacted, come on, now that Qi Guogong has made a gesture, those of us who want to bet should also open our eyes and make a clear statement.

After receiving the urgent message from Kuaima, Wang Yiping, the governor of Shaanxi, made a decision almost on the same day, saying that Shaanxi was not quiet and needed to be pacified by the Duke of Qi.

Now the local officials in Shaanxi and Shanxi have already made a statement, and they are also helpless, these two places are chaotic like this, one dies and one dies, and they don't know that they have been photographed here by the court to suffer, and now the displaced people are gone, and there is a bigger guy coming.

Fortunately, Shandong soldiers and horses will not torture and kill, they can give a way to live, and now they don't express their stance to take refuge, and when they express their stance too late, as soon as the Shandong army arrives, then they don't know what the end will be.

The local tyrants in Shaanxi have no one to move, and they will not react, and the Tartars of Western Mongolia are now giving them a headache, and it is good to be able to come over with a force that can fight to share the pressure on them, not to mention Shanxi, the border soldiers of Datong are still a mixed force of thousands of foot soldiers brought by Chen Yongfu from Henan and an infantry regiment of the Jiaozhou battalion, which is the strongest force in Shanxi.

And everyone in Shanxi who has some contact with the grassland knows that the beast-like Tumut Department is actually controlled by Chen Yongfu, and now everyone also understands that Chen Yongfu, the general soldier of Datong, wore a pair of pants with Qi Guogong, and the news that his son was Li Meng's personal guard in Shandong gradually spread, this matter explained a lot of problems, and the so-called "loyalty" aura on Chen Yongfu was also dissipated.

Some people openly and secretly scolded Chen Yongfu for being a traitor, but the massacre in Pingyao made everyone dare not make any rash moves, and it brought about a consequence, that is, there are many young children of generals and military households in Jinan, and these people want to directly enter the pro-military camp to serve, and they can be regarded as begging for a career by the side of Qi Guogong.

When the situation is so clear, everyone's eyes are looking at Shandong, Jinan, and Li Meng, and only a few people with bad tastes are still staring at Jingshi, to see how the "diligent and wise" Emperor Chongzhen should react to this point.

I don't know what Li Meng thinks, as if he was singing for the people of the world, only two days later, the Duke of Qi issued another military order.

This military order is very simple, it is the transfer of Shandong troops, there are many thieves in Beizhili, several times in Hejian Mansion to gather people to loot, Qi Guogong for the people's stability plan, transfer Shandong headquarters 10,000 soldiers and horses into Shuntianfu to suppress bandits, Dacheng, Wen'an, Gu'an, Baodi, Wuqing, Dong'an, Bazhou six counties and one state as the destination of bandits.

The reaction to this matter, the posture of the people in the world was quite strange, as if they didn't know about it at all, everyone was taking care of themselves to show their loyalty to the Duke of Qi, and competing to make sure that they wanted to take refuge.

Nanjing City is naturally miserable and miserable, and after the crown prince Zhu Cihong learned the news, no matter how much the emperor's heart is, he can't help but be afraid and panic.

As for Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, and the civil and military ministers of Nanjing, they were also gloomy, and only Liu Zongzhou, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, shouted loudly there, saying that the thieves were so powerful, and we should be brave enough to cheer up, make every effort to make the country prosperous, and increase our strength as soon as possible, so as to confront the traitors.

It's just that who listens to him, at present, Shandong maintains 20,000 soldiers of the two Huai armies in Jiangbei, and the more than 20,000 troops are not at all what Lu Jiude can gather to fight against.

The only thing that is a little bright is Ma Shiying, the governor of Caoyun stationed in Fengyang, who took the initiative to ask Ying to return to Nanjing to guard when the country was in danger.

Although it is important to say what is the place of the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum, Nanjing is now the key place, and it is the best choice to bring the troops back to defend it.

Civilian officials leading troops is the rule handed down by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Cihong has arrived in Nanjing City, such an embarrassing situation, but the rules that should be obeyed must be kept, Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo can lead the troops, but this military general is not reassuring, but the ministers are very shrewd, at this juncture, who is willing to lead the troops, defeat is almost a certain outcome, and it is too uneconomical to offend the great god of Shandong.

Ma Shiying is also vaguely one of the leaders of Jiangnan Shilin, and his performance over the years has also been made a capable minister, Qian Qianyi and others saw that someone came out to top the tank, and naturally they fully supported it, plus Ruan Dacheng didn't know what nerves he had, and he spilled silver to build momentum for Ma Shiying, and the title of Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department and leading the soldiers and horses everywhere was naturally him, Lu Jiude was positive and he was negative, Lu Jiude controlled more soldiers and horses, and he controlled fewer soldiers and horses, but they also complemented each other.

These are the reactions of the people around them, and the real center of the whirlpool is Kyoshi......

"Lord Governor, Lord Governor, it's not that the little ones don't do things, the unveiling post suddenly seems to be raining everywhere, and it can't be cleaned at all."

Jinyi Wei commanded Luo Yangxing to lose his temper in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and there were more than a dozen fans kneeling below, except for kowtowing, which was the explanation of Liansheng.

The news that the Shandong army was about to enter the Shuntian Mansion to suppress the bandits was naturally sent to the Jingshi, and the hundreds of officials of the imperial court, the yamen, the military camps and those noble and wealthy businessmen all knew the news, but the people of Li still didn't know that if the news spread, it would definitely be a big uproar.

But almost at the same time that the nobles knew the news, the streets and alleys of the Beijing division were full of proclamations, all of which were the news that Shandong soldiers and horses were about to enter Shuntianfu to suppress bandits.

The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven can understand such news, and naturally they can also see the subtext behind this news, but to the surprise of those rich and noble characters, the people of Jingshi have no panic and confusion, and their minds are very stable.

Shandong has tossed so much in recent years, and it is natural for the army to enter Shuntianfu to coerce the Beijing Division, and it is too late to make such a clear statement now.

Hejian Mansion and Yongping Mansion have Shandong garrisons, military discipline is very good, and the local construction is excellent, such troops are not too disgusting, at least with Shandong's soldiers and horses, the people on this side of the Beijing division no longer have to worry about what Tartars enter the customs and coerce the Beijing division.

The streets are full of proclamations, and the content of the proclamations has become a secondary thing, how much strength does Shandong have in Beijing, and how can so many people be mobilized to post this thing.

Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Shuntianfu, Criminal Department, and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses are all angry and abnormal, and those bigwigs are still somewhat useful in the city of Jingshi, and the messengers of each yamen are all in action, but they were invited off on the first day, and the next day they were posted all over the city.

This seems to be a joke, but the yamen can't cry, and the reason why they can't catch people is very simple, the servants of the various yamen are not enough, and a large number of people are out of the city with their families to take refuge.

On weekdays, the yamen of this sixty-nine city is full of people, often an errand under the management of more than 30 helpers, people are not used, but today, not to mention the following help, even the errand of the main organization have run to the countryside outside the city, this Shandong is originally a member of the Ming system, the reputation is also very good, killing the Tartars and flaturs to do Tuntian is the same as impressive, such a force to seize power, everyone's support is also unlikely, but it is unlikely that the same enemy will resist the invasion of the Jiaozhou battalion.

Isn't there still 200,000 Beijing camps outside the city, let these soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp fight, the 200,000 straw bales that can't even hold knives and guns are estimated to be no victory, and after the soldiers and horses of Shandong enter the capital and send a notice to the people, let's come back.

But the things that make people cry and laugh are not only in the city, after the military report of the Jiaozhou battalion Shuntianfu to suppress the bandits was sent to the Beijing Division, the Beijing battalion stationed outside the Beijing Division began to collapse, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, but as long as people with brains understand that this is not the opponent of Shandong's 10,000 soldiers at all.

There are more than 40,000 Tartar troops, just like that, they are wiped out in Hejian Mansion, 10,000 Tartars are more than 100,000 in the Beijing camp, 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Jiaozhou battalion, and more than 20,000 soldiers in the Hebei army, isn't it easy to destroy more than 200,000 in the Beijing camp.

There were 200,000 people in Beijing, and the news was learned on the nineteenth day of the lunar month, and nearly half of them had been dispersed on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and the rest of the departments were also on the verge of collapse, that is, the direct troops of the admiral eunuch Liu Yuanbin were still stable......
