Chapter 327: Before the Decisive Battle of the Main Force

Naked strength is the most profound essence in this world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If the imperial court had enough to quell the so-called 200,000 elite soldiers and horses in Beijing, and the 300,000 elite border troops that were still preserved on the paper of Xuanda, or if it was replaced by Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, during the Yongle period, Li Jing would not dare to do such a blatant rebellion.

It's a pity, look left and right, the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the last layer of face-covering clothes, can it really cause a finger of damage to Li Jing?

No! Even if Emperor Chongzhen was in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, when he scolded in the court, he lost the etiquette of the monarch and the minister; When he angrily scolded the generals of the Beijing camp as the son of the great tomorrow; When he slammed his favorite jade into the main hall with all his might.

None of them can cause even the slightest damage to Li Jing, at least the two are thousands of miles away, and in person, Emperor Chongzhen may be able to spit and disgust Li Jing, but unfortunately, he doesn't even have this opportunity.

Henan, Shandong, Caoyun's Nanzhili, Shanxi, which was completely occupied by Li Jing, the Xuanda line where the Tartars were raging, the Jiliao line, which was loosely defended, and the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty and the northern provinces, have been completely finished.

The nine-sided military town, at this moment, has been in vain, the main force of Jiliao, went south to quell the Caoyun Rebellion and the Denglai Rebellion, in Shandong, now gathered two governors of the imperial court, a military squire, with twelve military town commanders, seven local commanders, the total strength in the account books reached 100,000 people.

These 100,000 horses are the last mobile field forces that the Ming Dynasty can mobilize in the north, but unfortunately Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know what the troops on paper are deceiving people after all, according to the secret statistics of Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, who commanded the overall situation of the Shandong Rebellion, the total army of the twelve towns, except for Zu Kuan and Wu Ping, who entered the pass from Liaodong, and the Huanglong Department, the rest of the departments are only two or three thousand people.

Those commanders are even more nonsense, bringing three or five hundred people to converge, and they dare to call the elite of the entire guard, they simply didn't make Zhu Dadian angry, just like this, they can't stand in a queue, and they should call themselves elites, so the world of the Ming Dynasty is not the elite everywhere? Can it still be so noisy?

According to the personal entourage and soldiers sent by him, the twelve departments were sent out with seven guards, and the total number of soldiers and horses was only 40,000, but these 40,000 people were already the last field mobile forces that the Ming Dynasty could use.

But these 40,000 people have to deal with the Denglai Liaodong rebels with a strength of 35,000 cavalry, and they have to divide their troops to deal with Kong Youde, who has already gone south and has pulled up a full 10,000 people near Xuzhouwei.

If there is no continuous flow of logistical reinforcements, Zhu Dadian even doubts who is encircling and suppressing whom, anyway, counting on such a force, after fighting Denglai, exterminating the Confucian thieves, and then returning to Henan to solve the Liukou, and finally entering Shanxi to fight a decisive battle with Li Jing, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, unless the 40,000 army is still the ace iron cavalry in the Hongwu Yongle period, otherwise, the three heads and six arms of the man will not be used.

In short, the chaotic situation in Shandong can only be completely quelled without millions of money and grain and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it will take even more than three or four months to completely calm down, at least until August, Shandong will have to increase its troops, and it will not be able to send troops to reinforce other places.

Shandong gathered the last main elite of the imperial court, and if this is the case, let alone Henan.

Anyway, the governor Fan Shangyu (take the homonym chu, pass the fake word. There is nothing else to ask for, whoever comes to be this official will become a success, anyway, don't look for him, he would rather go to the Jinyi Wei prison than be this governor, Emperor Chongzhen did not force it, immediately dismissed his position, and promoted Lu Xiang with a big name, and the official was promoted to three levels,

With the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Henan and other places, the abbot suppressed bandits in Henan.

But the situation in Henan is also grim, with the Zijin Liang King for his own use, the king Gao Yingxiang, and the rest such as Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other departments, or tens of thousands, or more than 10,000, a total of 230,000 people.

When Shaanxi and Shanxi were in turmoil, Henan Province, which is separated by a province, often wrote letters to impeach officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi for their ineffective efforts in suppressing bandits, and even those who had sinister intentions thought that the people of Shanxi and Shaanxi had a bad conscience.

But when it was their turn, they found out that in fact, the people of Henan were not as good as those in Shanxi, and they were loyal to the country, what kind of joke? What did the imperial court give them? In the year of the disaster, he fled the famine, and in the year of the harvest, the officials went to the countryside, which is all obvious, who is willing to work for the court.

Therefore, when hundreds of thousands of people came with great power, the officials who usually acted as a prestige on the heads of the people were suddenly dumbfounded, and millions of peasants, overwhelmed, rose up to resist one after another, which only exacerbated the chaos of the situation, and even the newly appointed governor of Henan, Lu Xiangsheng, sighed with joy.

Anyway, whether it is Shen Qi, the governor of Xuanfu, or Zhang Tinggong, the governor of Datong, without him, just sit back and wait to listen to the ginseng, anyway, there are more people who have lost the city and land, and they don't care about the lice on this nod.

Even Gao Xun, the chief soldier of Datong Town, had begun to collude with Zheng Renbao, who had changed to the governor of the Tiance Army in the south, and secretly gave some necessary support to the cavalry town through Chen Mingquan, under the command of Liang Sijiu, the cavalry general.

Military generals can be different from civilian officials, civilian officials commit crimes, as long as there are people in the court, say peace, sooner or later they will be dismissed, and there will be hope of recovery in the future, but military generals, then I'm sorry, once desecrated. Duty. The lightest crime is also to defend the border, and if you don't do it well, you will be beheaded.

The fate of the first two years is still a warning.

"What does Mr. Gao mean, do you want to be with my lord?"

Under the pretext of returning to Datong Mansion from Yanghe and Gaoping, Gao Xun, and under the pretext of transferring troops to recover the lost territory, he left the Datong garrison and went to the Yunchuan Wei garrison, and finally asked him to send someone to find more than 2,000 cavalry led by Chen Mingquan who went north, so on a dark and windy day, he personally took his own self, with the cronies of the two clans, and met Chen Mingquan himself in a fortress of the Ming army.

"The last general, Gao Xun, is willing to send to the Lord!"

Gao Xun couldn't care about the fact that Li Jing was the chief soldier of the imperial court, he was also the chief soldier of the imperial court, and the position was the same, and even after seeing Chen Mingquan, he turned to the south and bowed down, and after kowtowing three times, he said that the last general would bow down.

"Why?" Chen Mingquan was also born in the Shanxi clan, and now he is a cavalry town, and he was the first to encounter the general soldiers of the imperial court, so he was shocked and asked.

"Without him, for survival!"

Gao Xun is not a literati with crepe, but I can't say that my special mother was Chongzhen in the second year, the Mongolian Tartars broke Datong, and the fate of his predecessor's chief soldier scared him.

"The chief soldier is here too?"

Chen Mingquan's side, just convened the generals to discuss, there were thousands of households from Datong who were born in Datong and were bought, originally hiding in the shadows, afraid of being discovered by Gao Xun, but now seeing that the general soldier had also surrendered, he was immediately overjoyed and came out with a smile.

"You, aren't you here too?"

Gao Xun said angrily, and then stared at Chen Mingquan, wanting a definite answer.

Chen Mingquan pondered for a while, called the first Qianhu to the side, asked carefully, but also heard some details, Gao Xun, this person, is to see that Li Jing already has the capital to unify the world, ready to change the skin to serve, one is lucky, maybe in the future to open the king, second, he is on the side of the Ming Court, discarded the responsibility of Datong, and immediately no one will be held accountable, isn't it happy.

But the trouble was very big, he did not dare to accept it without authorization, so he first stabilized Gao Xun with words, and then passed the book with flying pigeons, and quickly reported to Li Jing when he went south, and after a day and a night, Li Jing replied to the letter and arrived, and promoted Gao Xun to the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, with the second rank column, General Jia Fenwei, and so on, immediately went to the post.

This is also well thought out, after all, Gao Xun still has about a thousand elites in Datong Town, and similarly, as the chief soldier of Datong, he can control the field soldiers and strange barracks in Datong Town, and he is also a big Buddha, and taking him is equivalent to taking half of Datong.

No one will dislike the lack of people in their own camp, even if Gao Xun himself is not enough, but Datong Town is so important, taking Datong without effort is equivalent to saving troops, and more soldiers and horses can be vacated for the direction of the Beijing Division, and even taking the Xuanfu by the way, it is not a difficult task.

In addition, he was the first chief military officer of the imperial court to defect to Li Jing, so Li Jing even wanted to buy horse bones with a thousand dollars, so that the world could see how broad-minded Li Jing was.

After Gao Xun received this news, Chen Mingquan's large army was already in the hinterland of Datong Town, attacking everywhere to attack the Tartar convoys and raiding teams, but this would not hit Gao Xun's confidence in the slightest, he pinched this paper document, and was ecstatic in his heart, and it was done.

It's even better than he expected, the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, General Jia Fenwei, this is a position he can't even think of, at least it is much better than the treatment given to him by the Ming Dynasty!

"Let's go, let's go back to Datong Mansion, gather soldiers and horses, cooperate with the cavalry town under the command of the lord to fight, and kill all the Tartars!"

As a courtier, you must have an example, Gao Xun didn't dare to fight before, because he had no confidence, if he was defeated, maybe the court would clean him up, but now, Li Jing is such a great god behind him, what he wants is military merit, he still wants to take advantage of this kung fu to have a little more credit, and it will be easy to meet in the future, right?

Just when Gao Xun returned to Datong and scattered his own wealth, encouraging the three armies to go out of the city to find the Tartar rear team to start the war, the east and west roads faced the Tartar soldiers who were going south, and concentrated the main force of the red, blue, and blue flags and the two white flags, which were located in the area south of Yingzhou and north of Yanmen Pass, ready to fight a decisive battle with the Shence army at any time!
