Chapter Seventy-Eight: Breaking the Game (I)

Two days later, the shopkeeper of Jinmen Wu came to Lushun with two boats of grain, he was happy to transport away the copper materials infinitely, and also paid the deposit for the next sea trade, which made Yang Bo's constraints on hand a little relieved, but it was not cost-effective for him to control the sailor but to do transportation for others.

Just when Yang Bo was about to convene the people of the Commerce and Trade Department and the Maritime Trade Department to discuss, Xiao Wu came to report that Wen Fang, the manager of the Wen Mansion, had arrived.

"Go and ask the eldest lady!" Yang Bo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, what was the matter with Wen Fang running in such a hurry?

"Meet my father-in-law" Yun Niang invited Wen Fang to sit down and saluted respectfully.

"Good"

Wen Fang smiled and held his hands weakly: "Get up, Yun Niang is good!" Zhixian, this kid doesn't know where he got the blessing to marry you."

Yun Niang faked: "Father-in-law! ”

"Good! Father-in-law don't say it, where are you two, it's a perfect match, right? Wen Fang has no children and no daughters, but he pities this righteous daughter very much, and he usually has a lot of correspondence.

Yun Niang was well-behaved, pulled Wen Fang to say something about the family, and coaxed Wen Fang to smile, she knew that her father-in-law had private things to talk about with Yang Bo, so she just right to say goodbye.

"Zhixian, the old man doesn't hide it from you, there are two things to come to Dengzhou this time entrusted by the master, and Zhixian should know those two things, right?" Wen Fang got straight to the point

Yang Bo nodded, he naturally knew that Wen Tiren was nothing more than a battle merit and filial piety, but he didn't understand why Wen Tiren was so urgent, and even a little anxious, which was very inconsistent with the image of the first assistant.

Thinking of this, Yang Bo deliberately hesitated and said: "Lushun is not evenly staffed, the equipment is not neat, and there are indeed difficulties in haste, but I have promised the adults that there will be gains within two months, and these are all wrapped up in Zhixian, and I hope that Wen Bo will teach me, why are the adults so urgent?" ”

Wen Fang asked a little confusedly, "Didn't the master tell you?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head, will Wen Tiren's heart tell me?

Wen Fang thought for a while, picked up the teacup and looked at the pattern on it for a while before he said slowly: "Knowing that you know that Da Linghe is defeated?" ”

Yang Bo nodded stunnedly: "I have also read a lot of Tang Bao, but the details are not clear, Zu Dashou lost his soldiers and only took the idle position of a Taifu, but what does this have to do with adults?" ”

Wen Fang nodded and said: "There are many untruths in the Tang newspaper, as long as you know it, Your Majesty is already extremely disappointed in the Guanning military horses."

Yang Bo silently, after taking Yuan Chonghuan in the change of his own life, Emperor Chongzhen was worried that the army was unstable, not only did not blame Zu Dashou, but also relieved him, as a result, this person returned to the camp not long after, he fled to Jinzhou with the Liao army without showing his head, Emperor Chongzhen pinched his nose and persuaded him, and also added him the title of Prince Taibao, this is the first time that Emperor Chongzhen learned the Guanning warlords' dominance, the battle of the Daling River, the Guanning army with an annual fee of millions of silver once again gave Emperor Chongzhen a vivid lesson, the 50,000 army fled back to Jinzhou except for thousands of people, the rest of the army was wiped out, The city of Dalinghe, which cost countless silver taels to build, was dug into ruins, and the people who were still alive in the city were all slaughtered along with the surrendered Ming army. Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he knew that Zu Dashou was watching his attitude, as long as he reprimanded him slightly, maybe he would vote for Tartar and not be able to deal with Zu Dashou, then the other transfer masters Qiu Hejia, Wu Xiang, Song Wei and others were naturally safe and sound, and after the battle of Dalinghe, the war underwent a qualitative change in surname. Since then, many of the Tatar wars against the Ming have actually been presided over by Han Chinese. Most of these Han Chinese are Liaoyang indigenous border people who have served the Ming Dynasty for generations, and they are professional soldiers. These people are the Liao people in Yuan Chonghuan's so-called "guarding the Liao land with Liao people". After surrendering in the Battle of Dalinghe alone, there were: Zu Zerun, Zu Zepu, the son of Zu Dashou, Zu Kefa, the nephew Zu Zehong, and a number of ministers such as Liu Liangchen, Liu Wu, Sun Dingliao, and Zhang Cunren. As the war progressed, more and more similar personnel joined the ranks of the surrendered Jin, becoming the vanguard of the war against the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the country, and made great achievements. It was these Han people, coupled with the peasant army of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in Guannei, who finally defeated Emperor Chongzhen, overthrew the Ming Dynasty, and created conditions for the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Wen Fang arrived: "The lord has always had no good impression of the Guanning military horses, after the victory of Lushun, he wrote a book to re-mention the tripartite checks and balances, but the resistance is too great, the lord is just picking up some crumbs from the Liao, Lushun and Jinzhou victories are not enough, far from enough, the master's goal is very clear, that is, he wants to support the forces that can fight against the Guanning military horses, Zhixian, you must not let the master down!" ”

Yang Boqi said: "Didn't your lord take a fancy to the position of the secretary of the military department? ”

Wen Fang sneered: "Zhang Dasheng's surname is weak, and he has never dared to disobey the master, why did the master change him?" Isn't it necessary to change a disobedient person to go up to the ring with the master? ”

Yang Bo heard him say the words disobedient too seriously, and knew that he was talking about himself, so he laughed and didn't answer. In my heart, I was thinking, the court bigwigs fought back and forth, fighting for the dominance of a strategy, when Sun Chengzong squeezed out Wang Zaijin, the strategic policy of the entire Liaodong was completely different, and whether this strategy is good or bad, it is profoundly affecting the historical process, the so-called guidance of the country is like this, right?

The Ministry of Officials, Wen Tiren of the Ministry of War has been held in the palm of his hand, the Ministry of Rites has just collapsed Qian Shisheng, and the vacated position will not fall into the hands of outsiders, Bi Ziyan of the household department is not a member of Wen Tiren's family, but Bi Ziyan has won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren will not rush to start, the Ministry of Industry is weak, and there is no need to use any brains, calculate it, Wen Tiren wants to be a minister, what is lacking is military support for him, it is estimated that Wen Tiren realizes that now is the best opportunity, Emperor Chongzhen has been frightened by Guan Ning, It also reveals the search for a balance that can balance Guanning......

Wen Fang said again: "Zhixian now knows the purpose of the old man's visit this time, right?" ”

Yang Bo nodded: "Prison Army!" ”

Wen Fang laughed and said: "Yes, the prison army, the old man told me a thousand times before leaving, how to fight, you can make your own ideas, the old man will thread the needle and lead you, only one point, no matter what, let the old man go back with the good news paperwork!" ”

Yang Bo continued to be silent, Wen Tiren can be described as benevolent and righteous to him, and he trusts his military ability very much, although there is some persecution in it this time, but war is originally for politics, Wen Tiren's specialty is to fight in the court, and he is on the battlefield, since he has chosen Wen Tiren as a political ally, what else is there to complain about......

Breaking the game, what he urgently needs now is to break the current predicament!

Xiao Mochou received Yang Bo's order, did not dare to delay at all, and took the craftsman camp Chen Jianghu, Lu Ruohan and others to Dengzhou, and without taking a breath, they got on the sailor boat waiting to pick them up at the ferry, and got on the boat, and the sailors set sail overnight despite the fact that the sky was getting dark.

Several of Xiao Mochou's aides were puzzled, and one of them boldly asked, "What is the purpose of the adults being so eager?" ”

Xiao Mochou shook his head but didn't speak, but another graduate of Maojiatun Private School was much bolder and said, "Mr. Zhao, you didn't know when you first came, right?" If you're so nervous, you're definitely going to have to prepare for war again, you can't be wrong, I remember that the atmosphere was like this before the extermination of the Wenxiang Sect, and the atmosphere was like this before the rescue of Lushun, and this time I should be preparing to fight Tartar again! ”

Xiao Mochou's face sank, and he said, "What are you guessing nonsense? Don't you know when you arrive? ”

A few of the staff did not dare to say any more, and only cared about enjoying the scenery on the sea......

When Xiao Mochou arrived at the meeting hall of the Adjutant General's Mansion under the guidance of his personal guards, almost all of Yang Bo's chief officers were there, and even the logistics departments were sitting, and these people saw that Xiao Mochou, the third person under Yang Bo, who was regarded as his right-hand man, had all come to Lushun in person, and immediately turned their heads and ears, it was obvious that this time it would be a big move, otherwise Xiao Mochou would never easily leave the base camp of Shijiu.

Yang Bo was talking with a whip in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Mochou coming in, he nodded slightly: "Sit!" ”

After looking around again, the whispering in the conference room suddenly stopped.

“…… In October of the eighth year of Hongwu, Liaodong was placed in command of the envoys, belonging to the Left Army Governor's Office, and its coastal guards were from the coast of the Bohai Sea in Shanhaiguan through Jinzhou until the mouth of the Yalu River: Guangning Qiantun, Ningyuan, Guangning Zhongtun, Guangning Zuotun, Guangning Youtun, Haizhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou and other nine guards, among them, Jinzhou Wei as the focus of defense.

“…… During the Yongle period, increase the eastern Liaodong Jinzhou Lushunkou, Wanghaipot, left eye, right eye, Sanshou, Hand Mountain, Xishazhou, Shantou, Guayashan enemy Taiwan seven, Jinzhou Wei has a total of 4 cities (the city, Lushunkou, Muchangyi, Shiheyi) and five forts (Wanghaipot, Hongzui, Guifu, Huanggudao, Yanchang), under the jurisdiction of 95 piers. ”

"And our main goal this time is to be!" Yang Bo pointed to the place marked on the map with the whip, and did not stay long, the whip was pulled, and finally landed on Lianyun Island.

The roar from the audience was like an explosion of the pot, and the commanders of the battalions were all talking to each other.

"Next, the Chief of Staff will explain to you the intention of the adults to plan this battle, if you have any opinions, please keep them first, and then focus on the discussion" Tie Niu stood up, and the venue was suddenly silent.

"Ladies and gentlemen"

Wang Xiaoyu walked up with a document in his hand, cleared his throat and began to say: "According to the instructions of the adults, this battle is called breaking the game, the purpose is to break the shackles of the Jinzhou Tatars and the Dongjiang troops on Lushun, the whole plan is as follows, the whole brigade of the Thunder Brigade will be in a month later, with the cooperation of the naval division, to clear the Tatars stationed in Changsheng and Lianyun on the second island, and attract the attention of Fuzhou and Gaizhou Tatars, and create conditions for the Dongjiang troops to attack, the general plan is like this, and please explain the intention of this battle below."

In the sparse applause, Yang Bo got up again, glanced at the crowd and said slowly: "I know that you are all emphasizing difficulties, but I want to tell you that no matter what difficulties there are, they must be overcome!" I won't say it a second time, but for now, I'll explain my intentions this time. ”

“…… Everyone here has seen the plan for the first year of the strategy in southern Liaoning, but I am sorry to tell you that we are currently in a predicament, what predicament? No one! Lushun can't recruit enough Liao! No one can not grow, can not grow as we are now, in addition to the hard defense to do anything is powerless, it is no exaggeration to say, we are caught in a cycle of strange circles, you don't need to know what is a cycle, you just need to know, we have to break, and then stand! ”

“…… Although we attacked the Tatars this time, the main purpose was to rely on the Dongjiang troops to break the blockade of the northern Tatars on Lushun.

Yang Bo pointed to Yangguan Fort with a teaching whip, and went through Lushunkou, Muchangyi, Wanghaipot Fort, Hongzui Fort, Guifu Fort, Huanggudao Fort, Shiheyi, Yanchang Fort, to Zhenjiang Fort on the Yalu River, and then east to Sudianzijiang Fort, and Kuandian Luying continued to say, "The Tartar slaves control the fortress in this area, the Liao people can't walk, and the shipping capacity is not enough, what should I do?" You can only take the initiative! The purpose of planning this campaign was to break the blockade of Arthur by the Tatars."

“…… To make trouble, we will continue to make trouble for the Tars, and we will be stationed in this area of the Tarslaves, and the grass and trees will be frightened, and the night will not be peaceful! Although the current strength of the Thunder Brigade is not enough to counterattack, and even Golden State cannot be defeated, it is still no problem to keep causing trouble for the Tars."

“…… Navy! That's our advantage, so why not get up? I'm going to make the coastal states scared when they see the sailors of our Thunder Brigade! ”

“…… I'm not afraid of Huang Taiji's revenge, if he has the determination to lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Lushun City, then I will accompany him to the end, if this is the case, our five-year plan will be reformulated! ”

There was silence in the audience, no one echoed, no one laughed, and everyone was heavy-faced. (To be continued.) )
