When Wang Haoran saw Yu Guozhen, he was very excited
For the first time, he commanded the battle alone, and although the process was somewhat tortuous, and the war changed from the positional warfare he had first expected to be a flooded battle, it was still victorious, and it was a great victory
"Brother Zhengzhi, you have done a beautiful job this time, if you play chess, your ability to adapt to emergencies can be called first-class" Yu Guozhen gave him a thumbs up
Originally, Yu Guozhen thought that Wang Haoran could hold out until his reinforcements arrived, so even if the task was completed, he never thought that when he arrived, he just came to clean up the battlefield, and he naturally did not hesitate to praise him
This matter cannot be delayed, and in Yu Guozhen's view, it is as important as the war
Especially in the summer mud and drowning people and animals, it is easy to cause plague, and they must be properly disposed of Wang Haoran heard him say this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I have made a plan, and when the soldiers go to clean up the battlefield, I am not idle, but I am afraid that I will break my promise and gain weight."
"Oh?"
"I said that all Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo were executed, but it was only for their slaughter of the people, it was wartime, I am afraid that this is not the case, the number of surrenderers has exceeded 20,000, I am ready to organize these captives, dredging and burying the corpses"
"You did the right thing" Yu Guozhen thought for a while: "However, the previous order cannot be canceled immediately, so that the people of the four towns and the captives will be sued, and all those who slaughter the people will be punished by the officers, and the sergeants will be punished with hard work, and the rest will be replaced by hard labor."
The whole mountain's eastern peninsula is now a huge construction site, but it must be admitted that now this construction site does not have much output, it can be said that whether it is to build a railway, or to build an ordinary road, the construction of Xiang on the peninsula only has long-term strategic significance, but the immediate practical benefits are not much, Yu Guozhen has received a notice, many factories and farms under the Xiang system, the people began to complain, feeling that the local infrastructure that Xiang actually controls now is not complete, and there is no need to be in the mountain. The Eastern Peninsula has invested so much human and material resources
This is human nature, Yu Guozhen knows that it is impossible to completely suppress this kind of voice, and only relying on reasoning to guide is also to draw cakes to satisfy hunger, and the most important thing is to let the people know that all this has real benefits in Shandong's east
Since ancient times, the Chinese people have the traditional virtue of being anxious for justice and righteousness, which is also one of the core factors that constitute the Chinese Taoist system, but the Chinese people are limited to their right to survive and develop because of their impatience for justice and righteousness, especially those who are hostile to the Chinese race, Yu Guozhen does not want to raise the Xiangren into Song Xianggong, so he replied to Zhang Chi in the letter, one emphasizes the need to carry out the propaganda of righteousness, supporting the east of the mountain is the great righteousness of the nation, and the other is to publicize the great benefits that the east of the mountain can bring to Xiang
Righteousness and profit should always go hand in hand, and the choice of sacrificing profit and righteousness can only be done when it is really impossible to have both, and it can only be a short-term choice
Shandong's east coal mine has been developed very early, quartz stone ore is also very much, graphite, gypsum and other Xiang is now needing mineral reserves are very large, this is a mineral resources, in addition, Shandong's climate is suitable for cotton planting, potatoes can also grow well here, so as long as the transportation is convenient, here can become a model of Xiang system in the north
Moreover, when the world is always at peace, with the east of the mountain as the base, the products of Xiang will penetrate into all corners of the north with the extension of the road, stimulate the activities on the land of the Central Plains, and turn them into endless wealth - both material and spiritual
"Who is this one?" Wang Haoran happily accepted the order, and then he saw Yan Yingyuan, who was escorted by the tiger guard, and asked with some curiosity
"This is Mr. Yan Yan Yingyuan, the word Liheng, originally from Tongzhou, Beijing, and later lived in seclusion in Jiangyin, but was invited by Liu Liangzuo to think that he was the mastermind" Yu Guozhen smiled: "The plan to irrigate Yanzhou with water is from him, fortunately, you think it is early, and you will plan it, otherwise this battle will have to be fought"
"Even if he flooded Yanzhou, he wouldn't want to break the city for a while, the lord should have arrived in this vicinity, and it would not be a problem to hold on for two or three days" Wang Haoran smiled: "However, this Mr. Yan just looked around in front of the battle, and he could think of the plan of flooding, but he was a resourceful and wise person."
"Hmph," Yan Yingyuan snorted coldly
"It seems that Mr. Yan is still not very convinced?" Wang Haoran is also fierce, or he would not abandon his identity as the county lord and guest of honor and go to Xiang to seek refuge with Yu Guozhen, and he would not have left his leisure scientific research work and had to join Huwei
"If the soldiers I lead have half the elite of the Tiger Guard, and the equipment is comparable, I will defeat you" Yan Yingyuan was of course unconvinced
"Our lord often hangs on his lips, war has always been a contest of comprehensive strength" Wang Haoran said proudly: "My comprehensive strength is stronger than yours, if you are not convinced, it is very simple, come and help our lord, see if under the same environment, you have made more merits or I have made more merits"
Yan Yingyuan was about to say "good" at that moment, he was already easily provoked, but he immediately realized that Wang Haoran said this in front of Yu Guozhen, but he was afraid that he had another intention
"Hmph," he simply responded with a cold snort
"I'm going to go to Liaocheng immediately, Li Chuang has already begun to besiege the city" Yu Guozhen said: "I'll leave the matter here to you, Brother Zheng, and this Mr. Yan, also hand it over to you to take care of, let him meet the families of the people who were slaughtered by Gao Jie, and know what kind of goods he helped, and send him to Qingdao Kou when it's almost over, and put him in Yicheng first."
"Jiang'an will definitely nag, and everyone will stuff him," Wang Haoran said with a smile
"Wait a minute, Shogishi?" Yan Yingyuan didn't want to deal with it, but when he heard this name, his heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Jiang'an...... But the one who is the word frost? ”
Yu Guozhen was a little surprised, although Jiang'an was very famous in Xiang, how did Yan Yingyuan know his words?
"It's him, Mr. Yan has an old relationship with Jiang An?" Yu Guozhen's heart moved, if the two had a relationship, it would be convenient to arrange
"Chongzhen met once in Beijing when he was nine years old...... No wonder, no wonder, at that time he was selling Di Gong liquor, which is said to be produced in Jiaozhi......"
Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but think of what happened seven years ago, and he never thought that the young man he met in Beijing at that time turned out to be Yu Guozhen's subordinate, listening to Yu Guozhen and Wang Haoran's tone, his status was quite high
"Oh, since the ninth year of Chongzhen, Jiang'an went to Tamna, and has been operating on Tamna Island so far, and now he is the governor of Tamna under the rule of Xiang, and Yicheng is under his rule, since Mr. Yan has an old relationship with him, it would be better to meet the old man over there"
Although Yan Yingyuan is stubborn, he is not a fool, and this person is extremely discerning in China, Yu Guozhen is convinced that although he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not be loyal to the small court of Jinling, of course, this person still has the ability, send him to Tamluo Island, and he can't let him meet Chongzhen for the time being, otherwise he will be excited for a while and encourage Chongzhen to flee, it will not be good
The military situation was urgent, and after the matter was decided, Yu Guozhen was about to leave to chat, when at this moment, a sudden and rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded
"Lord, captured Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie alive"
It was Li Qingshan who came, his face was full of joy, and he was far away with two guards, so he raised his voice and shouted that he heard the news from him, and the whole city was full of joy and thunder, not only the tiger guards, but also the people in Yanzhou City, who were also happy from the bottom of their hearts
Huwei and the small court of Jinling, who thinks about the people, the people have their own name in their hearts
Yan Yingyuan originally wanted to sigh when he got the news, this was something he expected, after this fiasco, it was a miracle that Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie could escape, but before the sigh came out, he was blocked by the thunderous cheers of the people all over the city, he looked at the ecstatic people around him in a daze, this is what he saw with his own eyes, without any Huwei force, not even a hint, the people began to cheer for Huwei's victory
At this moment, a sentence suddenly floated in Yan Yingyuan's mind: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world
He raised his eyes to look at Yu Guozhen, and Yu Guozhen also had a look of joy on his face, but it was very light, as if he had caught only two ordinary generals, not the two important generals of the small court of Jinling who provoked the war this time
"The verdict was pronounced after the public trial" Yu Guozhen said: "I won't see them, and I will strive to keep Li Zicheng this time."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and led the guards out of the city, and he really didn't stop for a moment Yan Yingyuan knew that he was definitely not because of the military emergency, because he just said that Li Chuang's demeanor was still very relaxed when he attacked Liaocheng, and it was obviously because he didn't care about the four towns of Jiangbei in his eyes
It is no wonder that he only brought more than 20,000 troops to the east of the mountain and began to build a relief organization for the victims in a big way
Yu Guozhen is in such a hurry, it is indeed not because he is afraid that Li Chuang will attack Liaocheng, the terrain of Liaocheng is better guarded than Yanzhou, although the troops are not too many, but it is relatively close to Jinan, when Li Chuang's reconnaissance cavalry appeared on the side of the canal, Zhang Bingwen in Jinanfu had already organized the nearby tiger guards and militia together, and asked them to go to Liaocheng
Whether it is Li Chuang, Zu Kuan, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo, they all made a fatal mistake in strategy, that is, to attack the fortified city with heavy guards, in fact, although Yu Guozhen's troops were scattered, but because of the effective intelligence and transportation, they gathered and reacted very quickly, so the attack on the fortified city lost its suddenness, and it would be faced with a defense that was armed to the extreme, unless Yan Yingyuan came up with a strategy to flood the city, the coalition army lacking heavy artillery would still run into a bloody battle in front of the city defense
When Li Zicheng got the news of Yanzhou, it was already four days later, he angrily threw the military newspaper in his hand on the ground, opened the curtain and strode out of the camp, and scolded angrily: "Waste, waste"
He knew what situation he was going to face, the defeat of the Three Towns meant that he would face Yu Guozhen's anger alone and looked at Liaocheng in front of him, and he suddenly remembered Li Yanlai in his heart.
"Fight, or retreat?"
