Thinking of this, Wang Dou smiled and said, "General Wu is a young hero, and his future is limitless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

He boldly toasted Wu Sangui three times in a row, but he always felt that Wu Sangui was faintly jealous of himself.

Perhaps because of his family background and countless connections, his achievements are not as good as his own, and he has jealousy in his heart.

However, this kind of psychology is extremely subtle, and idlers can't feel it.

After Wu Sangui, the generals of Liaodong rushed up and toasted Wang Dou one after another, making the elegant table noisy.

Wang Dou did not refuse to come, and everyone shouted for loyalty and bravery.

For these Liaodong generals, Wang Dou also collected intelligence, and after Chongzhen went to the East Road to observe the training in the thirteenth year, they set up comfort officers in the army, and the rest did not change.

Because Liaodong is different from other towns, the military households of each fort are tenants under the names of each general, and it is needless to say that they are loyal to the main general, which is also the reason why the Liao army is more outstanding in combat power when defending the territory. Of course, they have outstanding combat power, but they only listen to the main general, which is also the reason for the formation of the warlords of Liaodong Jiangmen.

Since then, the general soldiers have come to toast Wang Dou, such as Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun. Everyone admired and admired Wang Dou very much on the surface, and they didn't toast, which was not enough to show their respect.

The psychology of the martial arts, Wang Dou has always understood, and dealt with them one by one, in his feelings, Ma Ke is slippery, Bai Guangen is arrogant, and Tang Tong is a bit of a white-faced scholar.

He can speak well, and his eloquence is on par with Chen Jiugao, the general soldier of Liugou, and Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion. But according to their own information. This man has no courage to argue. The guts are very small, but there are a lot of flowers.

A big feast, many people are drunk, and no one is subservient.

There was nothing to do today, everyone went to rest after the banquet, but before leaving, Wang Dou always felt that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, was depressed and anxious in his heart.

Sure enough, the next day, Hong Chengchou couldn't wait and summoned all the generals and officials to discuss the matter.

……

July 18, 14th year of Chongzhen. It was punctual in the Governor's Hall.

The generals and officials sat separately, and Hong Chengchou, as the governor of Jiliao, nominally reinforced the army and the Liaodong army. are all controlled by it, and they are sitting at the top in the middle of the danger, and the left and right staff stand solemnly and wait.

In the lower left position, the first one sits the prison soldier Wang Chengen, and the second sits the prison guard Zhang Ruoqi. Subsequently, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, was seated, Zhang Dou, Yao Gong, Wang Zhizhen, Cai Maode, and Yuan Guodong, Zhu Tingxie, Zhang Weimin, Yan Jixian and others were also judged.

Bottom right. Wang Dou, as a loyal and brave uncle, sat in the first place.

Subsequently, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, Li Fuming, the general soldier of Shanxi, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, Zuo Guangxian, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, the chief soldier Cao Bianjiao, and the general soldier of the Qiantun Guard, Wang Tingchen. Miyun General Soldier Tang Tong, Ningyuan General Soldier Wu Sangui and others sat according to the identity of the shift.

Those who can enter the governor's affairs today, the military generals are at least at the level of the general soldier, and only Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion of the Shenji Battalion, has a special identity and sits at the end.

Looking at the loyal and brave uncle Wang Dou who is on the top of the throne. It is not known what the general soldiers are thinking.

Hong Chengchou watched everyone take their places one by one. Especially the martial artists, his demeanor could not help but be a little too rude, he coughed lightly, stroked his beard and smiled: "The battle situation in Liaodong has affected the minds of the saints and the government and the opposition. There are also Shenwei generals of the Shenji Battalion coming, and sharp weapons such as divine fire flying crows will definitely frustrate people's momentum! ”

There was a bang in the hall, and everyone was gossiping, especially the generals of Liaodong, who had suffered enough of the Qing Hongyi cannons, and at this time they also had a large number of Hongyi cannons, how could they not like it?

Although the Shenwei General Artillery of the Shenji Battalion moved slowly, the artillery battalion set off early, but it arrived in Ningyuan early. After these artillery pieces arrived, Ning Yuan was regarded as treasures up and down, and the gunners were better fed and drunk. After Fu Yingchong arrived in Ningyuan, these artillery pieces returned to his command and control. …,

Moreover, not long ago, the military department allocated 3,000 of the 5,000 fine bird guns purchased from the East Road to the various armies in Liaodong, and equipped them with powerful medicine, and the equipment of all parties was greatly strengthened. Now more than 100,000 reinforcements have gathered, and the chances of victory for the Qing troops in Jinzhou have been greatly strengthened.

Most of the equipment on it came from the front camp of the Shenji Battalion, and everyone attached so much importance to it that Fu Yingchong couldn't help but be proud, but on the surface, he looked calm as if nothing had happened.

"Our division now has a sharp artillery battalion of loyal and brave uncles......"

Hong Chengchou continued to praise, and when he saw that everyone was happy, he said: "But ......"

He sighed: "Since the rebellion against Nutun Yizhou and the siege of Jinzhou, the governor led the people to the rescue, and the officers and soldiers fought hard to defend the defense, and killed many thieves. However, the slaves and thieves are powerful, and the siege of Jinzhou cannot be lifted for a long time. Now the Song and Xing forts are more urgent, and the anti-slaves are rushing to attack, pushing the Hongyi artillery carts, and beating them with cannons, and the Song and Xing forts are in danger! ”

Wang Dou suddenly realized, this is the reason why Hong Chengchou was worried yesterday.

Zhang Dou said worriedly: "The thief slave suddenly attacked Songjin very urgently, obviously to force our division to send out the army as soon as possible, and he was suspicious. ”

Yao Gong, the soldier, said: "The captives are attacking urgently, the situation in Jinzhou cannot be delayed, and the reinforcements need to go as soon as possible." ”

Wang Zhizhen disagreed: "The thief and slave must have a plan for this, and we need to be careful not to fall into the thieves' tricks." ”

Cai Maode said: "Tang newspaper came that there are more and more slave troops everywhere in Songjin, are they increasing their troops? ”

If this is the case, then the battle will not be easy to fight.

Wang Dou's eyes were even colder, he knew that in the battle of Songjin in history, the army gathered by the Qing State eventually reached 240,000.

In fact, after many raids and raids, the capture of population, in the era of Huang Taiji, they reached the highest peak. The strange thing is that when entering the customs, the Eight Banners Dingkou was reduced a lot, and historians estimated that it may be due to war, epidemics, etc.

Of course, a large part of the Qing people who went to Songjin were not dressed in armor and banners, and they were coated slaves, and their combat power was not as good as that of the regular army, but the prestige caused was still very great.

He spoke: "Now the Songjin Slave Army. How many are there? ”

All the commanders here listened carefully. Hong Chengchou just shook his head: "The sentry has a rough estimate that it has exceeded 80,000, and the actual number is difficult to investigate." ”

Wang Dou shook his head in his heart: "In terms of intelligence, the Ming army has not done enough." ”

Zhang Ruoqi, the supervising army, paid attention to the expression of the head Hong Chengchou, and at this time he coughed lightly, turned everyone's attention to himself, and said: "Master Wang has arrived, Jinzhou is in danger now, and my reinforcements need to go to Songjin as soon as possible." If Jinzhou is captured by slaves, then everything will be over. ”

Speaking of which, everyone in the church is equally worried, they are here to help. Ruojinzhou and other cities were captured by Qing soldiers. Then this huge support action became a joke, and everyone not only did not succeed, but had it, and there were many people who joined it for a while.

Hong Chengchou shook his head: "The current layout of the slave and thief forces has not yet been clarified, and the parties are unknown, how can we rush to advance the army?" ”

Zhang Dou, Wang Zhizhen, and Cai Maode are all conspirators, believing that the soldiers are in danger of war, and they should not act in a hurry, so as not to fall into the tricks of thieves, and all parties must find out clearly.

The audience was controversial. Zhang Ruoqi frowned, he stood up suddenly, and shouted: "I am afraid of wolves and tigers, and I am afraid of war!" Dare to ask the princes, if the delay in marching and the fall of Jinzhou will lead to the fall of Jinzhou, how can the princes explain to the saint? Confess to Lord Chen? If the princes cannot make a decision, they will submit a letter to the court, and the saint will decide it! ”

When he drank this, the hall immediately became solemn. The previous friendly and relaxed atmosphere is gone.

Hong Chengchou's eyes were cold, Zhang Ruoqi, a mere soldier, actually yelled at his own big people, it was really rude! He is a few pins. What kind of product are you? …,

However, Hong Chengchou thought about it. Now Zhang Ruoqi, as the supervisor of the imperial court, represents the meaning of Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and may even be the meaning of the emperor. If you are against the court......

His mind moved slightly, and he didn't speak for a while, as if he was oppressed by Zhang Ruoqi, a small supervisor, in the position of a supervisor. Everyone in the hall was shocked and turned their minds, only Wang Chengen strictly adhered to the principle of not meddling in the strategy, closed his eyes and sat silently.

Hong Chengchou looked at Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, Qiu Min nodded slightly, and Hong Chengchou looked at Wang Dou again.

Not to mention that Wang Dou is a loyal and brave uncle, and his noble status is that Wang Dou was majestic back then, especially in Tongzhou, and the situation of forcing the Qing army to retreat is vivid, which left a deep impression on Hong Chengchou, so Wang Dou's opinion is very important to him.

Hong Chengchou said gently: "What do you think of Uncle Zhongyong? ”

For a while, the eyes in the hall were focused on Wang Dou, and the civil officials planned the strategy, which was the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and at this time the superintendent did not ask the rest of the general soldiers, and even Wu Sangui did not ask, only asked Wang Dou, which shows that Wang Dou is different from the past.

However, in terms of strategy, it is the shortcomings of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and it is okay to fight on the battlefield, let them give them strategies and draw up a few strategies, and they can't say that they are ugly, and they have the heart but are powerless.

Wang Dou pondered, according to the current situation, the Qing people increased their troops earlier than in history, and the butterfly effect of himself became bigger and bigger. It is indeed necessary to march, lest Jinzhou be captured in advance, and the reinforcement of the army will become an empty talk.

He said: "Hongdu, ladies and gentlemen, I think that the plan of the thieves is obvious, that is, to force our division to march in order to achieve an ulterior purpose on the way. Their plan is nothing more than to take advantage of our division's urgency to set up an ambush to send reinforcements. So what? As long as our division is cautious, marching step by step, and sending more sentinels, the possibility of being ambushed is extremely rare. They have a lot of soldiers, just to fight, and few soldiers to come, just to plan and frustrate their morale! ”

Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong applauded first, Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen then agreed, and a group of veterans such as Liu Zhaoji, Li Fuming, and Zuo Guangxian all nodded and thought it was feasible. This is also the best of both worlds, which is controversial between the two sides.

Zhang Ruoqi laughed: "That's right, the words of the loyal and brave uncle are very much in line with my heart, my teacher must not rush forward, nor be afraid to advance, but the class teacher will march immediately, that is for sure." ”

He saluted Hong Chengchou and said: "Fang Cai is a little anxious about his job, but he is also a public heart, and I hope that Inspector Hong will not mind." ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "There is Zhang Langzhong's praise for the painting strategy, which is the blessing of the governor and the blessing of the king, how can the governor mind?" Zhang Langzhong, please take a seat. ”

The two were in harmony again, as if the conflict did not exist.

After that, when it came to the opening of the army, according to the current situation, the main dangerous place for the Wang division to march was the pine and apricot area of Tashan City. According to Hong Chengchou's arrangement. There are many hilly mountains in the Xingshan area. It is feasible to walk the battalion and the chariot battalion, and the road to Songshan is flat, which is conducive to the travel of cavalry.

Hong Chengchou has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he understands the local situation, and everyone has no objection to this arrangement, but ......

Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong couldn't help but look at Wang Dou, as early as when they were in Beijing, the two of them were pale by Wang Dou's vision of the broken grain road, and the big mouths of the two of them made Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen worry about it.

At this time, I saw that Hong Chengchou was slow to talk about the back road. For example, how to arrange the defenders in Xingshan and other places, Wang Dou also sat upright and was silent, Wang Pu coughed, and finally couldn't help mentioning the matter: "There is a matter to ask Hongdu." If the thief copies the back road, how can the army ensure that the grain is perfect? ”

Hong Chengchou's expression was gentle, and he didn't seem to mind Wang Pu's interjection, but he hadn't answered questions yet, but a yin and yang weird voice sounded: "What does General Wang mean, is it that the army will divide the troops after it arrives at Xingshan?" ”…,

Wang Pu looked at it, but it was Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, he smiled, but his tone was unbearable: "There are more and more thieves." If you force the car battalion, the whole division will gather, and you can also defend the battle. If the troops are divided and the thieves are broken, will this responsibility be borne by the general soldier Wang? ”

Wang Pu was angry in his heart, damn Ma Ke, when he drank with him yesterday, he called him a brother, and his face changed in a blink of an eye. Villain!

Wang Pu was also smiling on his face, he took off his helmet, flicked the dust that didn't exist on it, threw the few hairs that fell in front of him to the back of his head, and slowly put on the helmet again. said: "General Ma's words are inappropriate, and his duty is also to consider the safety of the army. Why did the trumped-up accusations pile up on my Wang Pu's head? There is no Qin Hui here! ”

Ma Ke stood up suddenly, and said Sen Ran: "Wang Pu, are you saying that I am Qin Hui?" ”

Wang Pu relied on his friendship with Wang Dou and others, and was not afraid, he squinted at Ma Ke: "I didn't say that, it's hard to say that someone has a ghost in his heart." ”

Ma Ke was furious, and then Fu Yingchong said: "Yo, everyone is angry, Wang Zongbing is also thinking about the big guys, there is no food and grass, everyone has to eat the northwest wind." ”

The generals in the hall were also persuaded, and Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, came over to the round, and finally Ma Ke sat down angrily, but looking at Wang Pu's eyes, they were still fierce.

The civil officials turned a blind eye to the strife between the warriors, in fact, they were also happy to see it, and the superintendent Zhang Ruoqi said at this time: "General Wang Pu pointed out the matter of the back road of grain and grass, I don't know if Hong Du has relevant arrangements?" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled: "Naturally, the governor's proposal can order Qian Youlu, the general of the right battalion of the front of the agency, Dou Chenglie, the general of the general patrol, Zheng Yilin, the deputy general of Xingshan Road, and the deputy generals of the Songxing Defense Battalion, such as Xia Chengde, Chi Fenggao, Tong Hanbang, Wang Jiaji, and Yu Yingxuan, and supervise Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, and stationed in the forts of Xingshan, which will definitely protect the back road and prevent the slaves and thieves from attacking from the northwest wilderness of Xingshan. ”

Everyone pondered, Wang Dou shook his head, there are too few soldiers, most of these battalions are one or two thousand people, although there are many generals, the total number of sergeants is less than 30,000, and they are not strong enough, they are all local guards, some battalion soldiers. In history, Hong Chengchou also arranged it in this way, but under the fierce attack of Huang Taiji's army, he did not hold on for half an hour, and the connection between Songshan and Xingshan and other places was immediately interrupted.

Zhang Ruoqi also saw this, frowned, and said, "The generals who came to the aid, don't arrange a few?" ”

On that day, Wang Dou was talking to the emperor, and he was also listening, and his memory was still fresh, and he felt that there were too few troops to protect the back road.

Although he urged the army, he was equally concerned about the problem of the grain route behind him. The meaning of this soldier Chen Xinjia is to let himself cooperate with Zhongyongbo. Wang Dou cares about the back road and hopes to leave heavy troops to guard, of course he has to pay attention to this, after all, he wants to win, but he doesn't want to lose!

Hong Chengchou was displeased, he had been in the position of supervisor for a long time, and he was very confident in his strategy, and led his troops to rescue several times, most of them were safe and sound, which enhanced his confidence. In his opinion, Xingshan and other places have arranged it like this, and Zhang Ruoqi is still questioning himself in front of everyone?

However, Hong Chengchou was as gentle as ever, and patiently explained: "Jin Shou is quite strong, not easy to shake, and now the slaves and thieves are even more powerful. The Xingshan garrison is enough, the pine and apricot are not far away, if the captives take advantage of the void to enter, it is easy to return to the army to rescue. If the troops are divided everywhere, will they not hear about the changes in Sarhu? ”

Zhang Ruoqi was dumbfounded for a while, he didn't know much about military affairs, and he didn't know much about the terrain and war situation in Liaodong, how could he say anything about Hong Chengchou? The goal of urging the army has been achieved, and Hong Chengchou has indeed arranged a large number of defenders in Xingshan and other places, but ...... He couldn't help but glance at Wang Dou.

At this time, Zhang Dou hesitated and said: "Governor, whether to arrange more defenders in Xingshan and other places, I think that the troops inside and outside Xingshan Castle are still weak." ”…,

Hong Chengchou suddenly became violent, and shouted at him: "I am a twelve-year-old superintendent, I don't know if the army is weak?" You are a scholar, and what do you know to teach Bendu? ”

Although he didn't dare to be angry with Zhang Ruoqi, but the accumulated fire in the inside, all of a sudden, vented to the heads of the officials, he has a great prestige in Liaodong, and usually treats people gently, at this time he suddenly lost his temper, and immediately shocked Zhang Dou, he stammered: "The governor is angry...... Under the office, under the office ......"

Hong Chengchou continued to shout at him: "Empty talk, no practice, what use does this governor want you?" Get out! ”

Zhang Dou was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground, he kowtowed again and again, there was a sound of pouting, and blood was dripping on his forehead, which made people frightened.

Everyone in the hall was frightened all of a sudden, and even Wang Pu and the others were silent and didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Ruoqi's face is ugly, Hong Chengchou is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, openly to Zhang Dou, secretly to himself, he scolded Zhang Dou for being a scholar, why not scold himself?

Wang Dou coughed and said, "Governor Hong, Zhang Bingxian is also an unintentional mistake, so don't be too demanding." ”

Hong Chengchou snorted and said to Zhang Dou: "Even if Uncle Zhong Yong intercedes, he will spare you, so remember to be cautious." ”

Zhang Dou got up and said again and again: "Yes, yes, remember it." ”

He stroked his forehead, his hands were full of blood, seeing him like this, all the officials in the hall had a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Only Wang Chengen continued to sit upright, as if he didn't see the scene in front of him. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
