"Jiannu enters Kou Xuanda!" Wen Tiren immediately stood up and took the Tang Newspaper in Liang Tingdong's hand, the Tang Newspaper only wrote the two roads of Xuanfu, and the third road of Datong was launched a little later, and it was not yet in the first Tang Newspaper.

Wen Tiren doesn't have much to do about fighting, but after many years of ups and downs, he will not mess up in the face of anything. This year, the world is eventful, after the Liukou crossed the pond in Henan, scattered and plundered, the urgent reports from all over Henan flew like snowflakes, the cabinet did not even have a good New Year, and a large number of military officials in Henan have been punished, and they have not stopped, and now Jiannu has entered Shanxi again.

At that moment, Wen Tiren asked Liang Tingdong, who sent the Tang newspaper: "How do you think the soldiers should respond?" ”

Liang Tingdong said calmly: "Zhang Zongheng said that there are 100,000 Jiannu, and the lower officials think that there are not so many, plus the Mongols are also at most 50,000 or 60,000, and they suffered heavy losses in Lushun last year. The lower officials thought that it was a top priority, and first strictly ordered Xuanda to hold the city in all parts of the city, and secondly ordered Baoding and Changping soldiers and horses to reinforce the Inner Great Wall passes such as Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass to prevent Jiannu from breaking into Gyeonggi. Fourth, it is necessary to send the soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the Liukou to return, especially the border cavalry of Xuanda, Shanxi and Shaanxi. ”

Wen Tiren listened to Liang Tingdong's words, and also nodded approvingly: "The soldiers are worthy of the reputation of border talents, and they can see through this place of Gyeonggi at a glance that it is the core, but if Jiannu comes with a large army, it may not be able to repel it by relying on the border army temporarily transferred, and it still needs a soldier and horse as the pillar." ”

Liang Tingdong knew that Wen Tiren was talking about Dengzhou Town, and the main force of Dengzhou Town was in southern Liaoning. At this time, the root can't come to Xuanda, and some of them are in Denglaiqing, but Denglai is more than 2,000 miles away from Xuanda, and it takes at least forty or fifty days to walk, according to the state of ordinary soldiers and horses, and he can't fight any battles when he arrives, he hesitated and said: "What the old gentleman said is the right thing for soldiers, but Denglai is too far away, maybe the Jiannu has retreated when he comes." It is better to order them to attack Nansiwei in southern Liaoning, and force Jiannu to ask the slave chief for help, so that the slave chief has to withdraw in advance, tired of the enemy and not tired of me......"

Wen Tiren interrupted with a slight move: "It is not bad for the soldiers to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but how do you know when Jiannu will retire." Now Jiannu is weak in southern Liaoning, in case its troops enter Gyeonggi and force our emperor to negotiate peace, then the court will not save face, and then transfer Dengzhou Town, then urge the urgency of Xinghuo, Chen Xinlao Shi hit far. And Jiannu waited for work, how could it be better to let Chen Xin raise troops to Beijing in advance, which would be beneficial to the imperial court and Chen Xin, but it was not necessary for them to go to Xuanda. It's still important to protect the Jingshi. In the meantime, it is inconvenient for the military department to explain, and the soldiers should write privately and make it clear to Chen Xin. ”

"This. Xia Guan understood. Liang Tingdong replied helplessly after hearing this, this Wen Tiren thought that the army's action was as easy as walking as a businessman. And he didn't open his mouth himself, and asked Liang Tingdong to tell Chen Xin, so as not to owe Chen Xin a favor.

At the end of last year, the emperor once said that Dengzhou Town had fought a series of battles, and should not be dispatched too much, and Liang Tingdong also sent a letter to Chen Xin at that time, saying that he would recruit fewer Dengzhou soldiers in the future, and now he had to choose them when the war started.

Liang Tingdong also understands Wen Tiren's difficulties, no matter how bad Shanxi is, there are Xuanda Governors, Xuanfu Governors, and Datong Governors on top, and there are a bunch of military commanders below that can be dealt with, and there is no shortage of people in the black cauldron, once Jiannu breaks into Gyeonggi, it is a national-level problem, the influence is completely different, and it can be held accountable to the head of the first assistant, and the imperial history must be a bunch of bullet seals.

Wen Tiren finished the matter, and said to Liang Tingdong: "Yesterday, the emperor said about the Qingzhou military preparation, this position has been abolished before, and now since there is a Qingzhou general soldier, then this military preparation is also wanted, you are in charge of the military department, this person must not use Donglin's people, lest they be embarrassed by Chen Xin." ”

"The lower officials will understand, this military equipment will definitely not let those who are disobedient go." Liang Tingdong responded in a low voice, Qingzhou's military preparation road is very important, Chen Xin gives a lot of benefits every year, whether it is money or political interests, what is needed is Liang Tingdong and Wen Tiren to take care of the DPRK and reduce the trouble for Dengzhou, if you can't even get a military preparation road now, it will not be so convenient to deploy in the future.

The current difficulty is that the official department is no longer Wen Tiren's descendant, the former official department secretary Min Hongxue and Wen Tiren are fellow villagers, relying on the merits of the governor of Yunnan to be promoted to the Beijing official, with the help of Wen Tiren became the official of the ministry. This person is very capable, but Yu Wen Tiren is too close, and his position is too conspicuous, and everyone who attacks Zhou Yanru and Donglin is secretly promoted and has become a thorn in Donglin's side. Donglin saw it very accurately this time, Zhang Jie and the servant Shaoqing He Shishou gathered a group of imperial history and gave the matter, and repeatedly impeached Min Hongxue and Wen Tiren for treachery, the emperor out of the need for checks and balances, left Wen Tiren and dismissed Min Hongxue, and cut off Wen Tiren's arm, which was a big victory for Donglin.

So later, Wen Tiren was also secretly reviewing himself, although Liang Tingdong belonged to his faction, the two would occasionally make some small contradictions in front of the emperor. But what Liang Tingdong is worried about is not the checks and balances, but Wen Tiren can't recruit factions now, the emperor wants him to be a lonely minister, and the people who were involved in the reverse case in the past can't be used, and most of the students from Jiangnan, Jiangxi and other places come up in the imperial examination every year, and most of them tend to Donglin and Fushe, Wen Tiren can only pick up a few, so from the perspective of the strength of the faction, Wen Tiren is not dominant, and the affairs of the DPRK and China are far from being able to say it alone.

Liang Tingdong couldn't quite understand the emperor, if the emperor wanted to check and balance the Eastern Forest, he should send the official department Shangshu to Wen Tiren's lineage, so as to effectively control the scale of the Eastern Forest of the Zhanì Dynasty, and the most important thing should be to replace the military department Shangshu with other factions. Now it's just the opposite, so he thinks that the emperor's power is actually not mature, but he can't tell the emperor about it.

After sighing in his heart, he went to see Chongzhen with Wen Tiren, and explained the meaning of the discussion, although the emperor was shocked, he generally agreed with their opinions, and only made one request, that is, not to relax the encirclement and suppression of the rogues.

Back in his office, Liang Tingdong told his subordinates the orders that the military department needed to convey, and then he sharpened his ink for a while, picked up the pen, and thought for a moment before writing. "Governor Chen respectfully opened, the previous letter was received, a few years ago, Zeng Tuo Daoshi brought a letter, saying that he would recuperate with Dengzhen, and less requisition, but the police at the border of Xuanfu were as anxious as a spark, and the emperor was worried like a fire............

"Jiannu arrived in Karaqin, did he go to Jizhen or Xuanda?"

Dengzhou General Military Mansion, Chen Xin frowned as he looked at the information in his hand. This is the first Mongolian information on the movement of the main force of the Later Jin, which is very certain, but in this era of backward communications, there are all kinds of rumors, and at the same time, the information that comes back also believes that Jiannu is just a division of troops. After attracting Liaozhen to rescue Xuanda, the main force of Jiannu will attack Jinzhou and other places in western Liaoning.

Every month, the Liaoning West Intelligence Station receives many specious reports, which they have to pre-screen and analyze before sending them to Denglai.

Zhou Shifa said softly beside him: "If this news is true, Huang Taiji chose a very good time at this time, although we have buried some threads in Houjin, but Houjin is tightly guarded." The roads are impassable on weekdays, and in winter, there are almost no people walking, so it is even more difficult to get the message out. He took this opportunity to lead an expedition with his troops, and if his subordinates guessed correctly, it was not bad. He will return in March, when the coast of Liaodong will freeze, and we will be able to launch an effective offensive in southern Liaoning, and his main force will not be far from Liaodong. ”

That is to say. Huang Taiji beat me for a time difference, and waited until Lushun froze in February and March. They are also on their way home, and the Mongolian intelligence is also slow to transmit, we can't know when they will return to Liaodong, and the strength of the attack will not be too large, and he is also very good. ”

Chen Xin walked around the house twice, and Liu Minyou, who happened to be here, couldn't put forward any opinions, so he had to ask Zhou Shifa: "Is there any news from Lushun coming back?" ”

"There are, but the news is mixed, and the Houjin soldiers also have white-armored soldiers deployed in Fuzhou, and it is inconvenient for the scouts to come and go in winter, and Zhu Guobin can't judge the authenticity."

Liu Minyou didn't speak after listening, the military situation in this era is always like this, it is difficult to confirm which one is true, maybe it is a strategy such as Houjin luring the snake out of the hole.

The three of them had never spent the winter in Lushun, but they were all familiar with the situation in Liaodong. The military port over there is frozen, and the coastal miles are frozen, if you only send a message out, you can send someone to risk coming out along the ice, take a small boat to turn on the sea ship outside, and when you reach the sea off Dengzhou, you have to turn it again, the message can be used, but the transportation of troops is absolutely impossible, even if this is the message, it is dangerous, and the floating ice in the Liaohai Sea is also a potential danger, so Lushun does not have a heavy military situation, and will not send people to send a message.

Chen Xin had no choice but to let Zhou Shifa leave and confirm the news as much as possible.

After Zhou Shifa left, Liu Minyou looked at Chen Xin and said, "The imperial court estimates that we will be requisitioned in Dengzhou Town again, do you want to make preparations in advance." ”

Chen Xin waved his hand a little bored: "It's okay to prepare, but the cavalry are in Lushun and Henan, Denglai is only less than a thousand, and the people from the martial arts cavalry department have just made up a batch and went to Zhu Daichun, I knew that Huang Taiji was going to fight Xuanda, and Lao Tzu should let Zhu Daichun leave all the cavalry." Now the infantry has traveled more than 2,000 miles, even if there is no worry about tobacco along the way, at least 40 days in the ice and snow, and they still have to rest before they can go into battle, and Xuanda is not southern Liaoning, so we can't go over with a whole group of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. ”

"Then we can't do it if we don't listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, after all, there are still five or six hundred thousand taels in hand every year, besides, don't you like to fight Jiannu the most?"

"That's our own hands, now it's going to other people's territory, that place in Shanxi, there are many traders who collude with Jiannu, the intelligence advantage is not big, the risk is very great, I am absolutely unwilling to fight with Jiannu in Shanxi, Beizhili is much better." Chen Xin rummaged through the table as he spoke, found the sequence list submitted by the Military Affairs Department, and said while reading: "There is one in the first battalion and two in southern Liaoning, and two in the third battalion and the second battalion are in southern Liaoning. ”

Liu Minyou asked in a low voice: "Then you moved the guard battalion so far, who will hold it down here in Dengzhou Mansion?" ”

Chen Xin was also a little hesitant when he heard this, although the situation in Dengzhou was stable, but after all, there were forces from all sides, Wang Ting's Fubiao battalion had now changed the middle battalion officer, and the right battalion was Lu Zhi's person, and he was always worried that there were no soldiers by his side.

He thought for a while and finally said: "Add the newly formed Guards Thousand Headquarters to it, and let them practice long-distance marching, so that the First Guards can stay in Dengzhou, and with the First Guard, it will be enough to suppress the other battalion heads." ”

Liu Minyou bowed his head and sighed: "The young soldiers you have trained are better than a juvenile battalion, they are all sixteen or seventeen years old, so don't be dragged to fight so early." ”

"There's no way, they're the only ones who have completed the training." Chen Xin quickly picked up the pen and ticked the sequence list, this young thousand headquarters was compiled and trained during the battle of Lushun, when many young students asked to join the army to fight Jiannu, Dengzhou Town recruited nearly a thousand young soldiers, and expanded to the fourth thousand headquarters of the guards after supplementing some non-commissioned officers.

Liu Minyou said to him: "They are all from the Tunpu literacy class, they have a chemical foundation, they have the enthusiasm of teenagers, it is good to be a soldier, but I always think it seems better to use it in other places, maybe there will be Newton, Riemann ...... among them."

Chen Xin shook his head and interrupted, "It's best to be a soldier, this team will continue to expand, they are the real future of Dengzhou Town, much stronger than those farmers." I also worked hard, the non-commissioned officers and officers in it were all drawn from the Guards Battalion, but when they became soldiers, they had to go to the battlefield, and when these young soldiers became non-commissioned officers and were dispersed to various battalions, the entire combat strength would rise a lot. ”

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he ticked again, "The Qingzhou General Soldier is transferring a thousand headquarters to accompany the barracks, so that there are five or six thousand people, and Wang Changfu will lead the troops to rescue Xuanda." Anyway, most of them are empty, I will also tell him to go slower, and he must not rush to go deep into Xuanda, with the urine nature of those magistrates, we can't fight hard for them, and it is not child's play to hang the teacher to attack far away. Then send an order to Zhu Guobin to fight Fuzhou in southern Liaoning, if you can recover Fuzhou, you can make a deal with the imperial court. ”

"You've forgotten about a team."

Chen Xin looked up and said in surprise: "Who?" ”

"The dragoons of Zhong Lao Si of the fifth battalion, they were thrown in Linxian by Zhu Daichun, and they did not go south with the team."
