Chapter 370: A Different Yuan Chonghuan

Outside the customs.

Yang Liu's entourage had already successfully exited the customs, riding the horse they bought, and rushed towards Jinning. The muskets they needed were in hand, and by the way, the shopkeeper sold them a batch of grenades, which can be said to be a good man to the end.

Song San couldn't put it down, and said with satisfaction: "Sixth brother, look at this house, it's really a good thing, much better than the one we made in Zhenqiang, the thing we beat ourselves, I don't dare to fire, I'm afraid of blowing myself into pockmarks, this thing, look, it's really well done, it's also equipped with lead, gunpowder, and someone teaches us how to use it, tsk...... This big internal creation, it's really a good thing" Song San raised his gun while talking to Yang Liu, and from time to time he aimed at the distance.

Yang Liu was also very satisfied, but he didn't expect that the background of Fugu County was so popular, the shopkeeper gave him a handcuff for nothing, and sold them a lot of grenades, with these things, Yang Liu felt that he was not afraid even if there was a large number of chasing soldiers behind, and he was in a hurry, but still a few grenades went down, and scared the people behind him to death.

Yang Liu didn't speak, but the others followed suit.

"That's, I didn't expect it, the shopkeeper is really good to talk to, this gun, it's really good, fifty steps, I saw it, the cotton armor is the same as paper paste, if that's it, we hunters, we only need to put the gun far away, as long as there is a tartar alone, we have a way...... Hehe...... if we get some of their Baylor's heads, then we'll be developed......"

Everyone talked about it for a while, and found that their boss Yang Liu kept smiling and didn't speak, and was distracted, so everyone coaxed Yang Liu again.

"Sixth brother, sixth brother, you have something to say, you can't miss your sister-in-law, right...... Hahaha......"

Yang Liu didn't care, Meimei looked at the handcuff on his waist, and said: "What do you know, I was thinking, with this extra twelve guns, we can gather some reliable rangers when the time comes, in this way, our strength will be greater, and when hunting Tartar heads, we are not so vulnerable to losses, hehe, I thought it would be difficult to get over, but I didn't expect that the shopkeeper was a good man, and sold us twelve more guns, and now, we are ...... developed."

"That's, that's, Sixth Brother,...... Thanks to the sixth brother's mouth, he can ......" Everyone was very happy, joking wildly, patting horses' ass, and bragging.

"Sixth brother, wouldn't it really be that our Fugu County is famous, so why did the shopkeeper sell me so many guns? Is that kid surnamed Li really an official? The youngest in the team, named Da Mao, asked.

Yang Liu took out a newspaper from his coat and said: "It's really good, I also read the newspaper of the imperial court, Da Mao, you can see for yourself, you are not allowed to call any boy surnamed Li in the future, then it is also our life-saving benefactor, see you in the future, you want to call Brother Li, you know?" Yang Liu taught a lesson while throwing the newspaper to the child named Da Mao.

The child named Da Mao took the newspaper and turned it around a few times in his hand, but he couldn't find where to look at it, and said depressedly: "Sixth brother, aren't you out of my embarrassment?" I knew that I couldn't read, so I gave me a newspaper, and they knew me, but I didn't know them."

The appearance of this kid named Da Mao made the others laugh.

Yang Liuhaha laughed for a while, and said: "Da Mao, it is precisely because you are illiterate that I reported the mansion to you, you see, your brother Li, now they are all officials, and people are literate, if you are illiterate, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to become an official, you must be attentive, prepare to know a few more words, and if you get an official in the future, you will do it......" Yang Liuchun taught.

The child named Da Mao looked aggrieved and said, "Sixth brother, you can't be an official if you can't read?" Then the Liu Baihu and Zhang Baihu in our Qianhu Office are not illiterate, how did they become officials? Da Mao "quibbled" with a serious face.

"They? How can you compare with them? They Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu are all officials, that is from the ancestors, so there are officials, you Lao Tzu did not pass you an official, you are illiterate, you want to be an official, others give you something to sign and draw, are you not blind? Yang Liu continued to teach.

"Hmph~ But ......" Da Mao continued to prepare to quibble, literacy was more uncomfortable for him than killing him, and when he saw those words, he was dizzy.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, Da Mao, have more eyes, scholars, wait for a year or two, wait until you have the experience of killing Tartars, see if I can get you to the new army, I heard that His Majesty's new army, everyone is required to be literate, maybe you can take this path in the future, get an officer in the new army, come out to say less is a hundred households, that future, than in a mountain corner to be a hundred households." Yang Liu sighed and began to plan for the future of their youngest guy. ,

When everyone heard this, they all agreed that it was a good idea.

"That's, sixth brother, or, let's hunt some heads, and tell the person who collects heads, we don't exchange silver, let them send Da Mao to the new army, in this way, Da Mao's future income will definitely be higher than ours, in the future, we still count on Da Mao's brocade to return to his hometown, and use Da Mao as a backer......"

"Hahaha......"

"Haha......"

In the crowd, there was a kind laugh, and Da Mao laughed so much that his head was lowered into the crotch of his pants.

Da Mao is also a guy who is unwilling to be laughed at, he has been looking for an opportunity to fight back, look around, and see the other handcuffs on Yang Liu's waist, so he said: "Sixth brother, the handcuff that the shopkeeper gave you, can you give us a ......, handcuffs are rare things, let's open our eyes......

As soon as Da Mao said this, the others followed suit.

Yang Liu smiled on his face, covered his handcuffs and said, "Do you understand the rules?" This gun is like your own daughter-in-law and wife, who even have to sleep in her arms, and will only listen to your call in the future. Hehe, dare to touch your 'sister-in-law', I chopped off your paws......"

The crowd burst into laughter. "Oh...... Oh ......". Da Mao is even more embarrassed.

……

Liaodong, Shenyang, Shengjing.

Huang Taiji is making final arrangements for this strategy against the enemy.

"In response to the offensive of the Ming Dynasty this time, Amin, leading Zhenglan, inlaid with blue flags, dispatched 8,000 soldiers to the east, specifically to deal with Mao Wenlong; Mang Gurtai led Zhengbai, inlaid with white flags, and dispatched 10,000 soldiers to the south to deal with Yuan Manzi; Ben Khan led Zhenghuang, 10,000 soldiers with yellow flags, and transferred the Mongolian foreign vassal departments to conquer Lin Dan Khan; Dai Shan is leading the red, guarding Shengjing with red flags, and supporting the Quartet at any time...... In addition to the soldiers, as before, each sub-division is responsible for transporting food and materials, and if the war is damaged, the brave and strong will be selected from the clothing in time to supplement the Eight Banners, so as to ensure that the combat strength of our Eight Banners does not lose ......"

In the face of the aggressive situation of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji hurriedly arranged a countermeasure, this countermeasure is not very good, but in this case, it can only be like this, the enemy attacks from all sides, and can only attack from all sides to resist.

……

Jinzhou, Governor Yamen.

Yuan Chonghuan was watching the "game" carefully in front of a huge sand table.

Since Yuan Chonghuan was "abused" by the emperor, he learned from the pain and began to work hard to study the technique of this sand table battle. Not only did he study hard and practice hard when he was in Beijing, but when he became the governor of Jinzhou, he still studied in Beijing, and he got a sand table to practice his combat ability.

Because, by the way, the generals of all sizes in Liaodong felt the feeling of being "abused", and many generals were called to the governor's yamen, and then forced to fight "battles" with the people in the general staff.

For this, Yuan Chonghuan is very satisfied. Watching others being *, very satisfied.

In the big house of the governor's yamen, according to the emperor's arrangement, there is a room in the east and west, and in the middle is a large sand table, and each side marches on its own sand table, but there is only "half of the battlefield", and you can only see the men and horses on your side, and you don't know how many soldiers and horses the "enemy" has, and in what direction the enemy is attacking, and only when the two armies suddenly approach, the "referee" will tell you that your men and horses have been besieged by a large number of enemy troops and have lost everything......

This kind of sand table training in which the enemy cannot be seen really makes the military gate of Liaodong outside the gate suffer a lot.

Yuan Chonghuan stroked his beard and silently watched the battle on the big sand table, although the houses on the east and west sides were "blind battles", but the sand table in the middle was without "battlefield fog", and you could see how the two sides were arranged, how they marched, and attacked.

The east side of the house in order to attack the west side of the house, under the ruthless hand, the family only left two percent * people, it can be said that the nest out, what "explore the horse" "night does not collect" can not be used, the large use of these things, can make their "line of sight" more broad, if lucky, let out of the "exploration horse" "night does not collect" can just "sweep" the enemy's traces, through the referee, you can determine that you are the first to find the enemy, and then, the enemy has not been able to see the "force" before, the referee will put on your side of the sand table, You'll be able to know your enemies' every move, and if you're lucky, you can catch them off guard.

Obviously, today the people in the houses on the east and west sides all want to go to one place, and only a small number of soldiers are left at home, and the large army is pouring out to fight other people's hometowns, one from the south and the other from the north, as if they have been discussed. ,

There was no suspense in the battle, both sides arrived at each other's homes almost at the same time, and then began to siege the city, and when both sides found out that their homes had been attacked, they both withdrew to save them, as if they had agreed on steps.

Yuan Chonghuan looked annoyed and shouted, "Stop"

Then, the people in the east and west rooms all came out and looked down at Yuan Chonghuan.

"You two, you've all discussed, right? One went from the south, the other from the north, and both left a small part of their troops to guard at home, and most of them went out to attack the enemy, and when they found that their homes were attacked by the enemy, they all withdrew. Yuan Chonghuan asked angrily.

The following military gates are very embarrassing.

"Zu Dashou, how can you be a gang, are you perfunctory to me? How to fight blindfolded, you can all fight exactly the same, was it discussed in advance? Yuan Chonghuan asked angrily.

Zu Dashou, He Kegang smiled embarrassedly, they were really afraid of fighting blindfolded, they were too aggrieved, they were too wholesome, and they were too brain-consuming. Looking at the opposite side as if there was nothing, but when you got to the ground, the referee suddenly told you that you encountered the enemy, but the other party was also unintentional, so, it was an accidental encounter, and then both sides set up a position, waiting for the enemy to attack, and waited for a long time, no one came to attack, and then asked the referee, the referee told that the other party was also waiting for you to attack, and then it was ridiculed by the people in the entire governor's yamen, such a joke, I don't know how much trouble. This is not bad, if it is a fight with those people in the staff, it will be even worse, and they are often * decent, so that these veterans can't raise their heads and pick up their faces.

Therefore, they discussed it early, and when they faced each other in the future, they should be "kind" so as not to make jokes, so they had this "identical" style of play.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at his two right-hand men with an embarrassed smile, and knew that they had discussed this matter, and sighed, these people are brave, but they are as stupid as they were at the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan remembered that when he was abused by the emperor, he was crying bitterly, and now, he has grown a little ability, and seeing the people below being abused by himself, that feeling is very different, Yuan Chonghuan feels that he has a feeling of rebirth.

In the big sand table room of the governor's yamen, everyone was embarrassed to hold back a smile, these veterans have not been embarrassed on the sand table once or twice, in order to look better and cheat, it is also within the understandable range.

"Alas...... when Ben Fu received the hadith from His Majesty, he was similar to you, and he was in a mess, I don't know why, but after listening to the hadith more, this level can be regarded as rising, and now the perspective of looking at the war is very different from before, this kind of experience, only I can understand, tell you, you don't understand, forget it, when you are free, let's practice more, this is good for you......" Yuan Chonghuan said.

Zu Dashou, He Kegang and the others hurriedly agreed, as long as they don't let them fight in the sand table, anything can be done.

"Don't be too happy, I will send people from the staff to the ministry, you don't know about the war, you can ask the staff, if you have time, you can have more hands with the staff staff, and it will be beneficial to you." Yuan Chonghuan said again.

Everyone was black again, and it was not enough to be embarrassed in Futai Yamen, and they had to go home to lose it?

"This time, His Majesty launched an offensive in the territory of thousands of miles, and our task in Jinning is the word 'entanglement', to put it simply, it is to drag the enemy down, to show the posture of a decisive battle with the enemy, and drag the forces of Dongyu in our Jinning, this offensive, as you know, in addition to our Jinning, Master Mao of Dongjiang Town is also the elite, and he also uses the word 'entanglement', in order not to let Lin Dan Khan suffer too much damage, and not to let Dongyu advance westward......" Yuan Chonghuan began his final arrangement, and then, These generals are about to go to the front, and he has to take advantage of this opportunity to instill the emperor's combat intentions with these generals again.

"My lord, what is the life and death of Lin Dan Khan, what is the matter with our Daming? Why bother working hard for him? Shed our blood? Zu Dashou complained.

"Don't talk nonsense, Dashou, do you have a little sense of the overall situation, usually let you fight more, you don't listen, Your Majesty's arrangement, how can you question it indiscriminately?" Yuan Chonghuan taught his subordinates a sharp lesson.

Zu Dashou wanted to refute something, but he still didn't speak, against the emperor's arrangement, this sentence is a bit heavy, Zu Dashou wants to refute, but he doesn't have the courage, judging from many situations today, the emperor deserves the three words "Holy Son of Heaven". ,

“…… Your Majesty's arrangement, is to drag the east, do not let the east capture west, otherwise, Lin Dan Khan is too damaged, then lose the power to contain the east, once the east invades the grassland desert, then I thousands of miles of the side wall, it will become a decoration, everywhere a little into the customs, I have no way, except to sit and wait for the east to plunder, can only stare dryly, when the time comes countless casualties, the loss is so big, who can afford it? Yuan Chonghuan knows much more than his subordinates, and it is inconvenient to tell his subordinates about some things, so he can only teach his subordinates a lesson over and over again.

Zu Dashou had no choice but to stare at him a few times, and when he saw Yuan Chonghuan talking about himself, he hurriedly lowered his head, indicating that he knew that Yuan Chonghuan had said this no less than a hundred times.

"Your Majesty's arrangement this time, there is another meaning, that is, to completely eradicate the Hara Shen Department, that is, the Karaqin Department called the Dongyu, we Jinning, Mao Wenlong Mao, Lin Dan Khan, three sides to contain the Dongyu, that Hara Shen Department was blocked by us and Lin Dan Khan, this time, I am afraid it is over, these wall grass, in vain I Daming has been taken care of for many years, but still wants to take refuge in my Daming's mortal enemy, it is really more than innocent......," Yuan Chonghuan said hatefully.

"My lord, we all know what you said,......" Zu Dashou had to remind.

"It's good to know, this attack is completely in the word 'entanglement', how to give full play to the word 'entanglement', depending on your ability, this Fu allows you to lose, allows you to retreat, allows you to escape, and even loses the city and land, it is nothing, there is no limit to your time, not to limit your location, and not to limit the number of enemies you kill, you only need to 'entangle the forces of the Eastern Captives' even if you win, I will give you meritorious service." At this moment when Yuan Chonghuan was about to start, he finally made a promise.

Zu Dashou and He Kegang and other Liaodong generals smiled at this time, this kind of battle is really easy, and the previous order that everything will be wiped out at every turn, it will be defeated, it will be captured, and it will be swept away, but it is not "easy".

The generals smiled happily, and He Kegang asked again: "Futai, when will it be 'entangled' to be considered victory?" A month, or two months, you can't keep 'entangled', right? ”

He Kegang asked, and everyone realized that although this order was so easy that it couldn't be easier, except for not betraying the enemy, there were almost no requirements, not even the requirements for continuous warfare, but this order did not have a time limit.

Everyone stared at Yuan Chonghuan in unison.

Yuan Chonghuan said: "The longer you are entangled, the greater the credit, if you can't persist until the snow closes the mountain this year, even if you fail, understand?" Of course, it would be better if you could go out and 'entangle' when it snowed, and it would be better to let Dongyu live in peace all year round, so that Benfu would give you a great credit, and the reward would not be stingy. ”

Everyone's eyes were red for a while, this was too easy.

"Futai, why is this so? Will you be able to win the battle in this way? A young general asked inexplicably.

"Say you're stupid, you still don't believe it, let you read more military books, you are all like a dead old lady, don't you understand? Is the Dongyu army the troops in the Niu Lu that are drawn? "Yuan Chonghuan has been with these soldiers for a long time, and he is also a little rude. In fact, this problem has to start from the emperor, who was abused too badly by the emperor in Beijing, probably hurt his mind, so that when he arrived in Liaodong, it was like a different person, and his original identity as a scholar was completely different.

"Back to Futai, that's right." The young general replied weakly, there is no need to think about this at all, everyone also knows that although Futai is scolding everyone, he has to agree, as if he is scolding him alone, which makes this young general very aggrieved.

"Dongyu sent troops out to fight, is there less people to grow food? Or grazing? The harvest will definitely be affected, won't it? Yuan Chonghuan has been much smarter after the emperor's "enlightenment", and besides, he knows much more than these generals, so he looks very smart and scolds these "stupid people".

"Go back to Futai, it seems to be ......" the young general replied aggrievedly, Futai didn't ask anyone else, just asked him one, which made him very embarrassed, as if the idiot was scolding him alone.

"Then there is no harvest, and the man will not eat? There are only 200,000 people in total, and 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers have to come out to fight all year round, do you think they are very easy? Do you know how much money Your Majesty spends every year to support you? You think it's easy," Yuan Chonghuan scolded with a look of hatred for iron. ,

"Yes, Lord Futai......" replied weakly.

"In that case, you just have to hold them back, so that they can't go back to production, so that they can't go around robbing, or it won't be long before they're doomed themselves, you know? Don't understand this? Yuan Chonghuan continued to scold.

"Understood......" the young general replied weakly, looking very aggrieved.

"Got it? That's good, everyone has seen what day it is outside the gate this year, although I have done a great job, this grassland, I am also doing a good job, do you think they will be better off? 200,000 people raised 50,000 people to come out to fight, plus Tiangan, hehe, tell me, should this battle be fought as His Majesty arranged? …… Do you understand it all now? Yuan Chonghuan's last sentence was shouted at all the generals present.

All the generals shrunk their necks and replied, "Understood."

"Be louder," Yuan Chonghuan shouted.

The generals immediately stretched their necks and shouted, "Understood"

Yuan Chonghuan nodded with satisfaction, this hand, he learned from the new army, he has been in the new army, and knows how the new army trains recruits. Yuan Chonghuan felt that this was what it looked like, after scolding, after yelling, he comforted softly: "This time, I just let you entangle, you don't have to fight hard with Dongyu, one is afraid of reproducing the events of the past, but also Your Majesty has mercy on you, everyone has wives and children, so, everyone, for your own life, just pay more attention, it doesn't matter if you give your own life, don't put other people's lives into it, other people's fathers, old wives and children are waiting for their men, and finally remind you, pay more attention, explore the horse and go farther, be diligent, Run away and run for your ......."

"Obey" This time, the big and small generals replied in unison, this kind of order full of human feelings, they were very moved, this Lord Futai, since the return of the Jingshi, and before is completely two people, this is the unanimous feeling of everyone, if it was before, it would never talk to them like this.
