Chapter 484: The Return of the Old Man in Blood (1)

More than half of the generals who followed Dayong in Songshan have been killed in battle, such as the cavalry generals Sun Youjin, Wu Tieshan, Li Changhe, Guo Er, the commander of the Yongzi battalion, and Wang Zhengqi, the general of the Wuzi battalion, have all been killed in battle.

Yongzi battalion general Shi Hai is sick and died in Jinzhou prison, for this matter, Dayong and Liaodong governor Sun Ying almost met each other, if it were not for Hou Sui in the middle to say peace, Sun Ying knew that he was at a loss, where would Dayong easily withdraw his troops from Juehua Island.

Huang An, Shao Wu, Ma Zhong and others brought more than 1,000 veterans from Jinzhou who had participated in the Battle of Daling River and the Battle of Jinzhou, and these veterans then came to serve as officers one after another.

After gathering all the grain and grass, Da Yong Chongzhen swore to enter the Central Plains on the fourth day of the seventh year of the lunar month to suppress thieves, and the court's reward for this was to award Da Yong as the chief soldier of Lushun.

It is neither the Liaodong General Army, nor the Dengzhou General Army, nor the Dongjiang General Army, but the Lushun General Army. This appointment caused a lot of commotion in the army, and the land of Lushun projectiles, since the founding of the country, is at most the center and left of Jinzhou, when this Lushun can also set up a general army.

In this regard, Hou Sui's explanation is that Dayong annexed the Dongjiang River without authorization, Shen Shikui complained everywhere in Beijing, and the cabinet and the military department were able to pass Dayong for the Lushun general army for the sake of the plaintiff's urgent need for reinforcements, and Zhang Chun, the old supervisor who was rescued from Shenyang, also interceded for Dayong, so he passed the appointment, otherwise, I am afraid that the Lushun general army will not pass. You must know that the emperor now hates Shi Dayong more than he loves, no matter how loyal Dayong is, his unauthorized power and non-obedience to the edict is always a stick in the emperor's heart. If this is not pulled out for a day, can the emperor and the court really rest assured that they will be entrusted with important tasks?

The Lushun General Soldier is the Lushun General Soldier, and the size is also a General Soldier, which is justified compared to the Jinzhou General who has long been out of character.

Dayong became the commander-in-chief, and the deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, and garrisons were naturally appointed, but within the Liaodong Army, they were still called by the military titles of the newly formed army.

Dayong led the thieves south to the south with Cao Bianjiao's cavalry guard, Huang An's second army guard, and Li Dashan's army third guard. Shao Wu's Fourth Army Guard was responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, and the Settlement Embassy Department sent many people from the Embassy Department to accompany the army, responsible for receiving the displaced people along the way, and escorting the captured thieves to Dengzhou. The resettlement envoy has already set aside a lot of wasteland, waiting for people to plant it.

In order to ensure that Shi Dayong could join the encirclement of the Central Plains thieves on time, Chongzhen ordered Hou Sui to be the governor of Denglai and Shandong Military Affairs, and to accompany the army as a supervisor.

This is actually surveillance in disguise, the court still doesn't believe me, and Dayong really doesn't dislike the Hou Inspector who is said to have a habit of Longyang, on the contrary, he has a good impression, because this is an official who takes money and does things.

Hou Sui this person is also a good character, with the army but all military affairs are never heard of, every day only how many miles the army marched, where to write a song to report to the imperial court, in addition to passing through the prefecture and county, as a supervisor to come forward to the local supply of some grain and grass, by the way to attend the banquet of local officials, the big banquet and small banquet, the harvest is also abundant.

There are 30,000 horse infantry guards in Liaodong, and the entourage of the superintendent Qin who came with Hou Sui did not have any fear of the thieves who went south, and they were not even more afraid, but they were all gearing up, and from time to time put forward some clever strategies to Shi Dayong, which made Dayong annoyed, and did not want to offend them. If you offend the only important minister in the court who is willing to speak for you because of these trivial things, the gains outweigh the losses. Therefore, Dayong's attitude towards these little ghosts is still good, but he responds negatively, and the strategies they put forward are all good, and then he pushes it to the head of Jiang Wanli, the town government, and makes Jiang Wanli anxious, but fortunately, he can still deal with it.

After more than 20 days, the Liaodong Army finally arrived at Weihui Mansion in Henan, and the army was stationed in Guangde Town outside the city.

The Ming army in Weihui Mansion City did not have a good impression of the Liaodong army coming from afar, but on the contrary, they regarded them as the same as rogues, and the city gate was closed to death, and there was no intention of letting the Liaodong army enter the city at all, which made the Liaodong generals angry.

Dayong actually didn't want to enter the city, Henan was a place of serious disasters, even suffered from natural disasters and military disasters, and the city of Weihui Mansion was even more depressed, and it made no difference whether he entered the city or not, but Weihui's official mansion was so chilling, but he couldn't help but annoy him. For this reason, he complained to Hou Sui that Henan officials looked down on people, but Hou Sui sighed and told Dayong that since Chongzhen four years later, the local government garrison basically had this attitude towards the guest troops who came from afar, because they really couldn't afford the food and grass of the guest army, and they couldn't bear the looting behavior of the guest army after entering the city. If there are fewer guest troops, it will be fine, but the Liaodong Army will send 30,000 horse infantry troops to help this time, and ask which city in Henan except Kaifeng and Luoyang can afford so many soldiers and horses to eat, drink and Lazar, and who dares to guarantee that these guest troops will not loot the city like thieves.

After hearing this, Dayong was silent, this fire could not be sent, and after going back, he strictly ordered the generals to take care of the soldiers under him, and those who dared to go out of the camp without permission were lightly punished with a heavy rod, and the heavy ones were killed.

Wei Hui officials did not welcome the Liaodong Army, but they flattered Hou Sui, a senior official who supervised the division with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and sent people to invite Hou Sui into the city, and also invited Shi Dayong and other generals to enter the city, which was also regarded as the friendship of the landlord. Da Yongwan refused to enter the city, and Hou Sui knew that he did not force it, so he entered the city with a group of attachés.

After the rest in Guangde, Dayong decided to set off, but he was not sure which direction he would go. The Tang newspaper said that Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong divided their troops and left, Zhang Xianzhong went deep into the Jianghuai, and Gao Yingxiang went northwest through Guide, and after meeting with Luo Rucai and Hui Deng, he took advantage of the false killing to return to Shaanxi.

Hou Sui thought that Gao Yingxiang was a big thief, and if he could defeat him in one fell swoop, he would be able to make the thieves frightened, and the Liaodong Army could also become famous all over the world, so he suggested that Dayong lead his troops to march to the northwest. Dayong decided to go to Jianghuai to suppress Zhang Xianzhong's department first, firstly, Zhang Xianzhong's name was famous, and the name of the eight kings was famous in later generations, and secondly, because it was convenient to raise grain and grass between Jianghuai, so there was no danger of running out of food.

Dayong has had enough of the hardships of running out of food, and he can still ruthlessly slaughter some women and children of the Eight Banners as food in Liaodong, but in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, how can he be ruthless, until he has no choice, he doesn't want to repeat the scene of Pingdu.

Dayong insisted on suppressing Zhang Xianzhong first, and Hou Sui thought about it and agreed, because he was not sure whether it was better to go to the northwest or to Jianghuai. Since this joint suppression of the five provinces is led by Hong Chengchou, and now Gao Yingxiang is fleeing to Shaanxi, naturally you Hong Chengchou is responsible, I am just a temporary overseer, I can't take risks, it's okay to win, if I lose, it will be a self-defeating future.

At the moment, it was agreed to go south to Jianghuai, and the army did not want to move, but the bad news came one after another, and the soldiers of Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the reinforcement and suppression, were really killed, and the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum fell.

Cao Bianjiao knew that his uncle was in pain after he died in the war, and vowed to avenge his uncle by bloodbathing. Dayong was also saddened, personally led the whole army to sacrifice for Cao Wenzhao, and then changed the decision of the advanced army Jianghuai, and ordered Xiao Cao to lead 6,000 cavalry to Zhangde day and night, and he led the main force to follow up, wanting to encircle the thief army Lao Huihui, Jiutiao Longguo Dacheng, Guotianxing, and Luo Rucai.
