Chapter 683: Anger and Remorse
(Thank you to the Imperial Sun for voting for the precious monthly ticket, Xie Lu thanks.) )
Su Tiancheng punched the table, the back of his hand was bleeding, he never imagined that Huang Taiji was really a Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, ostensibly attacking the Mongolian Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, but actually attacking Dengzhou and Laizhou, what he didn't expect was that Houjin actually owned a warship.
Su Tiancheng can't forgive his mistakes, the information is very clear, Houjin Tatar arrived in Dengzhou on July 20, and took Dengzhou Mansion on the same day, today is July 24th, Dengzhou Mansion is more than 2,000 miles away from Ningyuan City, and the news can be sent over so quickly, it can be seen that Jinyiwei is desperate.
It's been five days, I don't know what the chaos of Dengzhou and Laizhou has become, and I don't know if the Jingshi of Ludao has been shaken, the capital of Dengzhou is less than two thousand miles away from the Jingshi, if the Houjin sergeant is crazy and is ready to attack the Jingshi, the shock caused will be very unusual.
Hong Chengchou, Qin Sande, Xu Eryi, Sun Chengzong, Qu Qingze, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others all sat down, and the color on their faces was also not good-looking, this time, they were played by Huang Taiji, especially Qu Qingze, his face was unusually ugly, as a person in charge of intelligence work in the Governor's Mansion and Jiangning Battalion, and even in the border army, he felt that this was his own major mistake, and even an unforgivable mistake.
After a while, Su Tiancheng finally spoke.
"Huang Taiji is worthy of being a generation of heroes, dare to do things that people dare not think, I never thought that Houjin actually owned a warship and could go directly from Lushun to Penglai, it seems that our view of Houjin will undergo some fundamental changes, those previous understandings. I can't keep up with the situation. ”
Xu Eryi, who was specifically in charge of the work of the Governor's Mansion, spoke first.
"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that this is a very accidental thing, no one would have thought that Huang Taiji actually built a warship and directly attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou. Adults have no responsibility, for the sake of today, it is necessary to consider how to rescue Dengzhou and Laizhou, these two places, close to Beizhili, if the Houjin Tartars want to raid the capital, it will be a headache, even if the Houjin Tartars can't really threaten the capital, they can also return the same way. Board the ship from Dengzhou and leave, this time they attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, and they had the advantage. ”
Xu Eryi's words made the lobby even quieter, this is also a question that everyone thinks of, it has been five days, who knows what happened in Dengzhou and Laizhou, even if the Houjin Tartars do not attack other places. It is estimated that after this looting, Dengzhou and Laizhou were also completely destroyed.
Su Tiancheng kept pacing. He had to figure out how to deal with it.
Hong Chengchou then spoke.
"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that he still has to go to reinforce Dengzhou and Laizhou, so he can make the army set off immediately, rush to Laizhou as quickly as possible, and block Houjin Tartar. In any case, it is necessary to rescue Dengzhou and Laizhou. ”
Qin Sande looked at everyone and felt that he also needed to make a statement.
"My lord, our family also thinks so, the Jiangning battalion has mobilized at least 20,000 horses. If the Tartars dare to attack the Jingshi, then don't think about going back, stay near the Jingshi. ”
The rest of the people didn't speak, and it was probably the same opinion.
Su Tiancheng shook his head.
"This attack on Dengzhou and Laizhou, is the Eight Banners Army, combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, we can not be too confident, 20,000 troops, how long does it take to arrive at Laizhou, even if it is tomorrow to set off, it will take at least five days, rushed to Laizhou, it is already July 30th, long-distance attack, sleepiness is indispensable, Houjin Tartar recuperates, we may not be able to achieve victory, if only the Houjin Tartar is driven out of Dengzhou and Laizhou, is it necessary to move the people like this, it took a huge amount of energy, I also think, When the rescue army arrives, I am afraid that the Houjin Tartars are also ready to leave, their purpose must be to loot property and food, the loss in Dalinghe City, they must be recovered, through this attack, they can boost their morale, kill two birds with one stone. ”
After Su Tiancheng said this, everyone was dumbfounded, the army was pulled out, it was not as simple as sending a letter, the person who sent the letter could work day and night, through the post stations along the way, constantly changing the mount, and also constantly changing the person who sent the letter, so that the daily journey could reach more than 800 miles at most, but it was almost impossible for the army to launch a thousand-mile attack as a last resort, which was also possible with a small force, and the army of tens of thousands of people had never heard of such a speed. Jiang Ningying should not expect to be able to do it.
Speaking of which, everyone understands that the possibility of rescuing Dengzhou and Laizhou is not very large, that is to say, in the process of this round of calculations, Huang Taiji won the victory, the previous discussion, Su Tiancheng calculated accurately, and easily won Dalinghe City, and then, Huang Taiji easily attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the two were tied.
There are many similarities in the actions of the two, and they have kept a lot of news secret, the Jiangning battalion has kept the artillery battalion secret, and the Huang Taiji has kept the warship secret, which can really be regarded as a chess opponent will meet a good talent.
But it can't be done without action, I'm afraid that at this time, there is already an uproar in the capital.
After being silent for a while, Su Tiancheng finally spoke.
"Immediately issue an order to the governor of Shandong, the army of the guard in Shandong, stop the invasion of the Houjin Tartars at all costs, and keep the city in the case of field battles, and not let the Houjin Tartars break through too many cities and continue to cause heavy losses, if there are officers and sergeants who escape from the battle, they will be punished according to the crime of collaborating with the enemy, Qu Qingze, this order, send it to Shandong as soon as possible."
Qu Qingze left and stood up, went out of the gang to arrange, and Xu Eryi also stood up, this order must be stamped with the big seal of Jiliao Governor in order to have an effect.
A few minutes later, Xu Eryi and Qu Qingze came in.
"My lord, the lower officials have already made arrangements, and the order has been issued."
Su Tiancheng nodded, did not speak, he had already walked in front of the map, staring at the map deadly.
Xu Eryi spoke again.
"My lord, the lower officials still feel that something is wrong."
"What's wrong, Lord Xu just said it."
"My lord ordered the Shandong Guards army to resist, which is certainly as it should be, but the combat effectiveness of the guards army is really not flattering, if this order arrives in Shandong, and I know that the Jiangning battalion will not go to reinforcements, I am afraid that the soldiers and civilians of Shandong will be even more desperate, and even lose the confidence to resist, if the whole Shandong is defeated, then there will really be a big problem."
Su Tiancheng's eyes shot a light in his eyes, this question, he had already thought of it, if there was no action on his side, this situation would definitely appear, and there was nothing unusual about abandoning the city and escaping, the people in the city, if they ran out, there would be a greater threat and become an easy target for the Houjin Tartars.
Therefore, it is not too late for your side to take action and make amends.
As soon as Xu Eryi finished speaking, Hong Chengchou also spoke.
"Xiaguan thinks what Lord Xu said is very reasonable, if there is a rout, the court will also blame, I'm afraid that some people will make a fuss, so that the Guanningjin defense line will also be unstable."
Hong Chengchou's words aroused everyone's worries, the losses of Dengzhou and Laizhou must have been formed and irretrievable, in this case, the Guanning Jin defense line and Datong, Ningxia and other places can not have any problems, if the imperial court really blames it, Su Tiancheng is punished, then the loss caused will be irreparable.
Of course, there must be people in the court who want such a situation, so that someone can go directly to the governor's mansion and pick up ready-made peaches.
Just when everyone was talking, Su Tiancheng spoke again.
"Everyone's worries are reasonable, but we are all for the sake of the court, for the emperor, don't think too much about this, no matter what kind of discussion in the court, we have to think of a good way to deal with such a situation."
After saying this, Su Tiancheng walked to the front of the sand table.
Everyone also left their seats and came around, and they knew that when Su Tiancheng said such a thing, he must have thought of a way to deal with it.
Sure enough, Su Tiancheng pointed to the location of Montenegro against the sand table.
"Didn't Huang Taiji attack Dengzhou and Laizhou, and also sent the Eight Banners Army to Mongolia, then we will attack Montenegro and raze Montenegro to the ground, so that we can make a posture of pointing at Shenyang, I want to see, how Huang Taiji will deal with it, the Eight Banners Army is scattered all over the place, Daishan took some of it to Mongolia, the intelligence shows that it is 20,000 people, then the Houjin Tartars who entered Dengzhou and Laizhou must be no less than 20,000 people, and they are elite troops, Shenyang City suddenly took away 40,000 Eight Banner Army, There are not necessarily so many troops, at this time, we don't care about the situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou, with the fastest time, take Montenegro, make a gesture to cross the Liao River, if Huang Taiji is ready to hold on, then we really fight over, if Dengzhou and Laizhou's Houjin Tartars, and Mongolia's Houjin Tartars retreat, we will also retreat. ”
Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng, a little incredulous, they couldn't imagine that Su Tiancheng actually thought of such a way.
"This is the so-called you fight yours, I hit mine, no matter how Huang Taiji arranges, we do it according to our own ideas, we will definitely be able to get results."
After saying this, Su Tiancheng began to issue an order.
"Lord Hong, quickly mobilize 100,000 troops, assemble them within two days, and start attacking Montenegro on the 27th, and be sure to blow up Montenegro City within one day and exterminate the Houjin Tartars stationed in Montenegro." (To be continued......)
