Chapter 334: Urging to Fight

Xiaoguanzhuang, the big camp of the Ming army, Gao Qiqian sent away the eunuch with a gloomy expression, this is the third messenger to urge.

The first one was the one who was the imperial eunuch, the second one was the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, and the third one was the one who was the celebrant eunuch. The eunuchs who came to deliver the decree were more important than the other, which showed that the emperor was really anxious.

The military department also came to urge, but Gao Qiqian was unmoved, but the inner court came to urge one after another, and he didn't dare to stand still. But Gao Qiqian is still waiting, he is waiting for Zhu Dadian and his Lu soldiers.

The decisive battle of the army is not child's play, there are tens of thousands of rebels outside Laizhou City, and there are more than a dozen cannons in Guanghongyi, not to mention that the backbone of the rebels is all Liao soldiers from the Dongjiang River.

Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui were eager to fight, saying that the rebels were not enough to fear, and the supervising army could rest assured that the three thousand cavalry of the ancestral family could sweep them away. But Gao Qiqian just couldn't believe it, when the rebels rose up that day, there were only 800 Liao soldiers, but they were all over the north and Zhili, killing the officers and soldiers to flee in despair.

Gao Qiqian also saw the rebels with his own eyes, at that time, he led the 5,000 Beijing battalion out of Beijing in high spirits, thinking that a battle could defeat this group of lawless rebels, but he didn't expect that the result was driven into the county seat of Shangxian by hundreds of rebels behind his ass. Since that battle, the Beijing camp has mentioned that they are going to fight, and their faces have changed greatly, and none of the generals dare to take the initiative to fight.

Lin Qingxun, the commander of the Beijing camp, was born as a noble son, and he has been peaceful for a long time, and there are only yellow and white things in his eyes, how can there be the bravery of his ancestors, and he doesn't know anything about marching and arranging, but he is a good hand at doing business, deducting salaries and grain, and reselling military rations is even more enjoyable. If it weren't for his own family and sharing profits, Gao Qiqian would have gone to him a long time ago.

The main general is like this, and the following is unbearable, there are 15,000 people in the famous Xiaoguan Zhuang Guangjing Battalion, which is both the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion, all of them are brightly dressed and armored, and the weapons are conspicuous, but Gao Qi knows in his heart that 1,000 people can have 1,000 people who dare to fight, even if he is a high eunuch who burns high incense.

The soldiers and horses transferred from all over the country are Deng Yu's Chongqing soldiers and Wang Hong's Chengdu soldiers, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under the second general, but those soldiers are dressed as if they want to eat and flowers, and they are not much better than the homeless people outside the city wall of the Beijing Division. Counting on them, it is better to count on those ruffians in the Beijing camp.

After all, in addition to the 1,000 warrior battalion officers and soldiers brought by his own family from the Imperial Horse Prison, that is, Jin Guochen's Jizhen soldiers and the 3,000 cavalry of the ancestral family were able to fight.

The warrior battalion is the elite of the Tengxiang Four Guards, the soldiers are all Han young people who fled from the north, and all the expenses are directly allocated by the inner treasury, which is not much deducted by those civil officials, and it is the most powerful force that can be relied on in the imperial city, more than 200 years down, it can still be used, not as erosive as the Beijing camp, but the number is too small, only a thousand people, and it is not of great use.

Jin Guochen's Jizhen soldiers are all foot soldiers, Jizhen is also an important town on the nine sides, and the combat power of the soldiers here can also be, second only to Liaozhen, when Chongzhen entered the east in the second year, the Jizhen soldiers were under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, but they also fought several hard battles, overall, it is still reassuring. Jin Guochen is also loyal, although he also drinks the blood of the soldiers, but the amount of food is acceptable, and many of the 5,000 foot soldiers brought this time are pro-soldiers drawn from the hands of military generals from all over the country, and they can all come in handy.

Although the elite of the Liaodong Army died in Dalinghe City, the ancestral family has been operating outside the pass for many years, although these 3,000 cavalry are cobbled together, and the batch of Dalinghe cannot be compared, but no matter how you look at it, they are all first-class strong soldiers.

Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui said that the rebels were not fearful, and Jin Guochen also said that the rebels were mostly a rabble, and as long as the officers and soldiers dared to fight, it was nothing great. But Gao Qiqian didn't dare to take this risk, he asked the prison army to send out in order to seek wealth, not really to sell his life. Otherwise, he should have fought when the army gathered last year, so why bother to do something with the officials in the court.

Now that the appeasement is a complete failure, the death of Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian made the Son of Heaven very angry, if it wasn't for the consensus with Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua, he would have cut a lot of meat, and it was difficult to say whether he could reincarnate this army. Rao is like this, the Son of Heaven is also very to blame, and the edict was lowered, Zhu Dadian was responsible for the conquest of friendship, Gao Qiqian was only responsible for logistics grain and grass, and the former supervisor Liu Yulie returned to Beijing to ask for the guilt.

After getting the will, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Gao Qiqian is also relieved, and then put his mind at ease, since the emperor wants Zhu Dadian to supervise this division and not let him interfere in military affairs anymore, the success or failure of the rebels has little to do with him. In line with this method, Gao Qiqian was eager, and sent people to Shandong to urge Zhu Dadian to come quickly, and just waited for Zhu Dadian to come, and handed over military affairs to him. But Zhu Dadian replied, saying that the road was difficult, and there were rebels cutting off, so it was difficult to come in a short time.

On the Jingshi side, the young Son of Heaven was also anxious, and a few days ago he sent an edict to Gao Qiqian not to take care of military affairs, but a few days later, he sent a eunuch from the imperial prison to use Gao Qiqian to quickly dispatch troops, and he was no longer allowed to stand still. This urging is three times in a row, Gao Qi knew that if he didn't move, the emperor would definitely not be able to spare himself, but he really didn't dare to take risks, but if he didn't send troops, he was worried that the next time he came to deliver the decree, it would not be the internal official but the envoy of Jinyiwei.

Lin Qing, Pei Shaokuan, Jin Guochen, Le Guoqi, Zu Dabi, Wu Sangui, Deng Yuan, Wang Hong and other generals have been ordered to come, after listening to the will, Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui were overjoyed and ready to fight again.

The ancestral family and the Wu family are no longer the same as before in Liaodong, and the two of them are eager to make military achievements and prove to the court and the Son of Heaven that Liaodong cannot leave the ancestral family.

There is already news in Jingshi, the blood book written by the lady has been presented to the emperor, and the Son of Heaven is shocked, and has sent someone to Liaodong to investigate thoroughly. originally thought that Shi Dayong was plotting rebellion, and the ancestral family would be able to redress the grievances of the marshal, but who knew that Shi Dayong would go to occupy Dengzhou silently, so things would be a little tricky.

If Shi Dayong is not removed, the wrongs of the ancestral family will not be washed, and the unjust deaths of Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang will not be revealed, which is already the consensus of the ancestral family.

Shi Dayong must not be allowed to take all the credit for counterinsurgency, and now, the credit comparable to the recovery of Dengzhou is to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop and kill the heads of Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng.

Fight, must fight!

Zu Dabi and Wu Sangui glanced at each other, and were about to open their mouths to ask for battle again, but as soon as their mouths moved, they saw exclamations coming from outside the camp.
