In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), Emperor Taiji of the Great Khan of Later Jin Dynasty unified southern Mongolia and conquered Har for the second time. In the autumn and July of that year, the Houjin army returned to the division, and in the name of disturbing its territory, killing its people, and hiding the fugitives of the Ming Border Generals, it entered the upper fort on the eighth day of the seventh month and entered the siege of Xuanfu. The defenders of Xuanfu shelled it, retreated to Yingzhou, plundered Datong, and captured the victory fort. The Beijing division was shaken, and the edict ordered the chief soldier Chen Hongfan to guard Juyong, and the governor Ding Kuichu and others to guard Bauhinia and Yanmen.

At noon on July 18, the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Datong Governor's Palace

Lu Xiangsheng sat in the front hall, looking at the more than ten generals in front of him, his face sank like water, and Lu Xiangsheng said for a long time: "Everyone, now that the Jurchen Tartars have invaded my border pass and plundered everywhere in my Shanxi, the emperor has decreed that the Tartars will be expelled from the country, I don't know what your good plan is?" ”

At this time, sitting in front of Lu Xiangsheng were more than a dozen military generals such as Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanda, Wang Pu, the governor of the left capital, and Tang Tong, the chief soldier. It's just that at this time, everyone didn't say a word like Xu Shu entering Cao Ying.

"What? Don't you have anything to say? Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Lu Xiangsheng's face became colder and colder.

Seeing the signs of Lu Xiangsheng's work, Yang Guozhu, who has the oldest qualifications and the highest official position except for Lu Xiangsheng, said: "Lu Duchen, it's not that I can't say it, but my Xuanzhen has less than 40,000 troops at this time, and these 40,000 people are already extremely tight to defend Datong and the passes in various places, and it is impossible to divide troops to support various places. ”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed lightly, he had been in Datong for several months, and he naturally understood the troops in the area of Xuanzhen. If it was calculated according to Xuanzhen's roster, he should have 60,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry in his hands, but in fact, the troops in his hands at this time were only more than 36,000 people, and nearly half of them were paid empty salaries by officers at all levels.

This kind of thing has been a very common thing in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, even Lu Xiangsheng, who is the governor, is not easy to say, anyway, this kind of thing is hello, I am good, everyone, there is silver to earn together. Naturally, there is no problem with eating empty salaries in the Taiping years, but once it is time to move seriously, everyone is dumbfounded. Like now. The Tartars have rushed into Shanxi, but Lu Xiangsheng, who is the commander-in-chief, was stunned and couldn't pull out troops to support various places, so he could only watch the Houjin troops wantonly loot in the territory, and this helpless feeling was very worrying.

It stands to reason that in addition to the original more than 10,000 soldiers in Datong City, there are thousands of Tianxiong troops brought by Lu Xiangsheng, who should be able to touch the Houjin Tartars, but the current Tianxiong Army has not completed the training, and it is okay to defend the city, but if it is a field battle with the Tartars, it can only be an egg hitting a stone.

At this time, Wang Pu, the governor of the right capital, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said tentatively: "Governor." Why don't we send an urgent report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to mobilize a large army to help? ”

"You save it." Tang Tong, the chief soldier, glanced at Wang Pu, "Not to mention whether the imperial court can send reinforcements now, even if the imperial court sends reinforcements, the daylilies will be cold when they arrive." ”

Wang Pu hurriedly said: "Then what should I do, just rely on the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in our current Datong Mansion to fight a field battle with the Tartars, that is just to send them to death, let alone drive the Tartars out, I'm afraid even Datong will not be able to keep it." ”

"Reinforcements...... Reinforcements...... Where are the reinforcements? ”

Lu Xiangsheng, who was sitting in the coach's seat, muttered in his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he slapped the armrest of the chair with a snap, and then shouted loudly: "Yes, this officer knows where there are reinforcements?" ”

The sound of Lu Xiang's rising movement startled the generals. Then Yang Guozhu was the first to reflect, his eyes widened and he asked, "Governor, where are the reinforcements?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and said to the generals: "This official went to Yingzhou Mansion before coming to Xuanzhen to take office, and he also met with Yue Yang, who was the garrison of Yingzhou Mansion and a guerrilla general in Shanxi. This Yue Yang is quite a capable person, who has made a small Wuli village impressive, and it is said that there are thousands of elites under his command. That's a good thing! ”

"Wuli Village? Is it the Yueyang who has a good tuntian and a yield of 1,000 catties per mu? ”

Wang Pu, who mentioned this, suddenly came to his senses, nodded and said: "Governor, these days at the end of the day will also hear the name of Yueyang, this person is extremely good in Tuntian, this year also lost his Wuli Village harvest, and collected tens of thousands of displaced people, this only curbed the rise in grain prices in my Shanxi, from this point of view, this person can be said to have done a good thing for my Sanjin land." It's just that...... If you talk about Tuntian, this person is really good, but does he really know how to train soldiers? ”

Yang Guozhu also stroked Hu and said: "Yes, the governor, knowing Tuntian may not necessarily be able to train soldiers." General Yi Mo foolishly saw that this tuntian and fighting a war were two different things, not to mention that a mere thousands of soldiers and horses would not help the overall situation. ”

"This ......"

Hearing the discussion of the generals, Lu Xiangsheng also hesitated in his heart. Although he met with Yue Yang last time and also received Yue Yang's benefits, he was not clear about the combat effectiveness of the army under Yue Yang's command. If he transferred Yue Yang out without authorization and touched the Tartar, it would hurt him.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while and still couldn't pay attention, at this time, he wanted Yue Yang to lead the troops forward to block the enemy and prevent the Tartars from continuing to invade south, but he was afraid that the soldiers in Yue Yang's hands would be too weak and hurt him, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

After a long time, Lu Xiangsheng said slowly: "In this way, this official gave Na Yueyang a military order, and let him decide for himself whether to send troops, what do you think?" ”

"Is that okay?" Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded, what is the situation, the commander actually let the local generals decide whether to send troops or not, how can there be such a war, this is not a joke.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Lu Xiangsheng explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Tartars have invaded our border passes, besieged our Datong without attacking it, and divided their troops to plunder everywhere in our Shanxi, this official, as the governor of Xuanda, naturally cannot ignore it. Although Yue Yang had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, he still had to stick to Yingzhou, and the official was afraid that he would not be able to divide his troops to help, so he issued this order and let him decide for himself whether to send troops to help various places. ”

The generals are right to think about it, Yueyang is a guerrilla on the North Road, although he also has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but the task of defending Yingzhou is already very tight, and it is difficult to have extra troops to reinforce other places, not to mention that Wulizhai has just had a bumper harvest this year, and the Tartars should not know the news, Wulizhai must be a must-go place for the Tartars, so it seems that it is difficult for him to protect himself, and how can he have extra troops to support various places.

Thinking of this, everyone could understand Lu Xiangsheng's order, and just like that, such an incomprehensible order arrived in Yue Yang's hands.

Looking at this somewhat contradictory order in his hand, Yue Yang also scratched his head a little, what the hell is this Lu Xiangsheng doing, let me decide for myself whether to send troops or not? Thinking of this, he stood up and walked over to the map hanging on the wall to take a closer look.

Yue Yang slowly marked the place where the Tartars were infested in the post newspaper and took a look, and now the Houjin army is now divided into two roads and is wreaking havoc in Shanxi. One is the red flag led by Yue Tuo, the son of the Great Belle Daishan, along the Shaguobao and Hunyuan Prefecture towards the hinterland of Shanxi, while the other is led by Rao Yu Belle Abatai to lead the blue flag along the Pingyuwei towards Shaanxi Town, which has the posture of swallowing Shanxi in one gulp.

After looking at it for a while, Yue Yang had some understanding in his heart, and then he ordered the soldiers to immediately hurry up and bring his generals to the general's mansion to discuss matters.

An hour later, all the generals arrived, Yue Yang looked at everyone and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Datong is in an emergency, the enemy chief Taiji led the Tartars to invade our border pass, and now Datong has been surrounded, and more than 20,000 Tartars are advancing towards the hinterland of my Shanxi in two ways, and my Shanxi is in danger." Lu Duchen sent a letter, asking my department to decide for itself whether to send troops to help everywhere, I don't know how you feel? ”

"What? The Tartars actually entered the customs? ”

As soon as Yue Yang's words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

After a while, Feng Xiaoyun, who was still the president of Qian, said: "My lord, it is not trivial for the Tartars to commit crimes, and now that Datong is besieged, there is no way to reinforce all places, so I think we are still pressing the city gate to guard Yingzhou City." As for sending troops to help everywhere, it is not advisable. ”

"Well, Mr. Feng Qian has a point!"

"Yes, we don't have enough troops, how can we rush to the aid of everywhere? Mind yourself! ”

Listening to everyone's discussions, Yue Yang frowned, and he turned his gaze to Hu Laosan and Shun Bao, the two officers with the biggest official positions besides himself, and asked, "Hu Defense, Yue Defense, do you two also see it this way?" ”

Shunbao said without thinking: "My lord, now that the Tartars are powerful, it is no problem to rely on our troops to hold Yingzhou, but the biggest problem now is that in addition to defending Yingzhou, there is another place that must be defended, and this is the most important problem." ”

"That's right, why did I forget, there is still Wuli Village!"

As soon as Shunbao said this, everyone remembered that the current Wuli Village is full of tens of thousands of farmers and merchants, and there are hundreds of thousands of loads of food and materials piled up there.

Thinking of this, everyone gasped.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yue Yang sighed and said: "You have also thought about it, Wulizhai is just a plain without danger to defend, if the Tartars come to attack, we will have no way to resist it, if the Tartars break into Wulizhai, our hard work for several years will be lost, what do you say?" ”

"This ......"

Everyone was silent, and then Hu Laosan took a deep breath and said: "My lord, in this case, we have to take the initiative to attack, otherwise if Wulizhai fails, our years of hard work will be in vain." ”

After listening to Hu Laosan's words, Yue Yang glanced at him approvingly, it seems that this Hu Laosan's military book during this period of time has not been read in vain. (To be continued!)
