Chapter 536: There Are Always Accidents
The arrangement of the combat deployment had just ended, and when the army was about to set off, Wang Xiaoer led the scouts to come.
These scouts are the scouts sent to the Riverhouse.
The two-way army led by Turai and Geng Zhongming attacked Hejian Province, presumably the situation of the common people of Hejian Province was also very miserable, and Hejian Province was close to Shandong, and the rising Turai might enter Shandong to continue the plunder.
But Zheng Xunrui has no energy to deal with Turai and Geng Zhongming for the time being, his goal is Du Du, even after defeating Du Du, he will not be able to turn around and deal with Turai and Geng Zhongming, but will lead the Zheng family army to kill the city of Yanqing Prefecture, and fight Dolgon by surprise, as long as Du Du is defeated and deterred Dolgon, after Turai and Geng Zhongming learn the news, they will become lost dogs, and they will quickly retreat to make peace with Dolgon.
Zheng Xunrui listened to the scout's report in detail, and learned that Turai and Geng Zhongming's movements were also very fast, and they had already taken some cities in Hejian Province, Turai was smarter than Dudu, and he adopted the method of joint operations, and the Mongolian left and right battalions of the Eight Banners Army and the Han army launched an attack together, so as to ensure that the most powerful offensive ability was played.
Zheng Xunrui can only express sympathy for the people of Hejian Province.
Just after the scout left, Wen Kun came in with the paperwork.
Zheng Xunrui saw the document in Wen Kun's hand at a glance, this is the information sent by the secret line in the capital, since the last time he was reprimanded, the dark line in the capital has sent a lot of information.
Opening the paperwork, Zheng Xunrui looked slowly.
Wen Kun found that Zheng Xunrui's face had changed drastically, and there was important information in the document.
"Hong Xinyu, immediately inform Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao and others to come to me, Wen Kun, call Li Panlong, Li Yan and Xu Jikuang also come over immediately, that's right. Inform Ma Xianglin to come over immediately. ”
The crowd rushed over quickly, and it took only a few minutes before and after.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation has changed. Qin Liangyu, the general of Zhendong, led more than 10,000 white pole soldiers and entered Beizhili to reinforce ......"
It turned out that Qin Liangyu led more than 10,000 white pole soldiers. After learning that it was dangerous for the Houjin Tatars to enter the customs and plunder the capital, he resolutely left Sichuan and entered Beizhili. Qin Liangyu is loyal to the monarch, after entering the North Zhili, he led the white pole soldiers to rush directly to the capital, first reported to the emperor and the imperial court, and after the imperial court deliberated and discussed, the emperor issued an order. He actually asked Qin Liangyu to lead the white pole soldiers to rush to Yanqing Prefecture City to fight and rescue the besieged Hong Chengchou and more than 100,000 Ming troops under his command.
This is a major change and a major surprise.
It is said that Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to participate in the battle, which was advantageous for the Zheng family's army, the white pole soldiers had a certain combat effectiveness, and there were only 70,000 soldiers under the command of Dolgon, and more than 100,000 Ming troops besieged Yanqing City. That is Dolgon's courage and good fighting, since such an arrangement has been made, it is already arranged. Dolgon must have been confident in resisting the reinforcements sent by the Ming court.
Qin Liangyu had only more than 10,000 white-pole soldiers under his command, reinforcing Yanqing City, and there were many auspicious ones.
Imagine that the 50,000 former army led by Xiong Wencan also went to reinforce Yanqing Prefecture City, but it led to a fiasco, almost the entire army was wiped out, and the white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu are likely to encounter such a fate.
Zheng Xunrui didn't understand why the imperial court would make such an arrangement. Isn't this a clear request for the white pole soldiers under Qin Liangyu's command to be sent to death, it is undeniable that Qin Liangyu fought bravely. can fight well, but you can really say it. Qin Liangyu is not as good as Dolgon, both in terms of combat ability and operational deployment.
The area around Yanqing Prefecture City is basically a plain, and the white pole soldiers are suitable for fighting in the mountains, especially in the jungle, and can give full play to the best combat effectiveness, which Zheng Xunrui is very clear about, which is also determined by the geographical location of the white pole soldiers, but in the plains, the white pole soldiers do not have the slightest advantage, especially in the face of the magnificent cavalry of the Houjin Tartars, they are at an absolute disadvantage.
Zheng Xunrui has a very good relationship with Qin Liangyu, and the cooperation between them is also very good, not to mention that Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin is already a general in the Zheng family's army.
After listening to Zheng Xunrui's words, Ma Xianglin's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly, he was most familiar with the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers, the white pole soldiers were mainly foot soldiers, and there were very few cavalry, and in the face of the cavalry of the Houjin Tartars, they were only passively beaten.
"Ma Xianglin, tell me what you think."
"My lord, the white pole soldiers are not the opponents of the Houjin Tartars, and my mother can't go to reinforce Yanqing City, the best way is to directly enter Baoding Mansion and unite with the Zheng family's army."
Ma Xianglin forced his composure, and his answer was still good, which was indeed the best arrangement.
However, is this statement effective, Qin Liangyu received the emperor's holy decree, and if nothing else, he will definitely do it in accordance with the requirements of the holy decree, and according to Qin Liangyu's character, he must lead the army to fight with Dolgon, so it is difficult to avoid the tragedy, even if Ma Xianglin dares to persuade him, he may not be able to stop Qin Liangyu, unless Zheng Xunrui comes forward in person, but this is impossible.
Qin Liangyu led the white pole soldiers to attack Dolgon, which will also cause a problem, that is, to arouse Dolgon's vigilance, once the fight is over, Dolgon will definitely send scouts to reconnoiter everywhere to see if there are other Ming court reinforcements coming, in this case, it is impossible for the Zheng family army to launch a surprise attack on Dolgon after defeating Du Du.
This can be described as pulling the whole body.
Ma Xianglin probably also understood the truth, after speaking, he still couldn't suppress the trembling of his body, once the white pole soldiers attacked according to the emperor's holy decree, Qin Liangyu's life was very likely to be in danger, according to Dolgon's character, he would never let Qin Liangyu go.
Zheng Jinhong and the others were also silent, they didn't expect such a situation to occur.
In their hearts, Zheng Jinhong and others admired Qin Liangyu, after the Jin Tatars entered the customs and plundered, all the armies in the south were timid, and basically did not dare to come to reinforcements, especially after the army led by Xiong Wencan suffered a fiasco, and he was imprisoned in the prison, there was no army to come to reinforce, at such a moment, Qin Liangyu resolutely led the white pole soldiers to come to reinforcements, which required great courage.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Xunrui slowly spoke.
"General Qin's attack must be stopped, the white pole soldiers and the Zheng family army jointly fight, this is the only way, otherwise the white pole soldiers will be in great danger, not that the combat effectiveness of the white pole soldiers is not good, but the white pole soldiers are not good at fighting on the plains, in the face of the Houjin Tartars who are used to fighting in the plains, the white pole soldiers do not have the slightest advantage, and the fiasco is inevitable."
"The emperor has already issued an order, presumably General Qin's determination will not change in the slightest, Ma Xianglin, even if you come forward to persuade you, I am afraid that it will not have much effect, and the white pole soldiers will still attack."
Ma Xianglin nodded and did not speak.
"The big war is coming, I can't leave, I want to persuade General Qin to take on the task, or Ma Xianglin to take on it, but you can't come forward alone, I will write a letter to General Qin immediately, Ma Xianglin, you take the letter to General Qin."
After saying this, Zheng Xunrui turned his head to look at Wen Kun.
"Wen Kun, you come forward on my behalf to meet General Qin, and be sure to persuade General Qin to postpone the attack, this time to see General Qin, your responsibility is heavy, you must find a way, the distance between the capital and Yanqing Prefecture is not very far, so you have to work day and night, dare to stop the attack of the white pole soldiers in front."
"Wang Xiaoer, you lead a hundred scouts to escort Wen Kun and Ma Xianglin, you must ensure their safety, I see that you rush directly to Changping Prefecture City, and the white pole soldiers under General Qin will pass through here, you stop the attack of the white pole soldiers in Changping, and at the same time ask General Qin to lead the white pole soldiers and wait in Changping."
"Wen Kun, Ma Xianglin, you can tell General Qin that you must obey my command, so that you can really defeat the Houjin Tartars, Beizhili is already such a chaotic situation, if the imperial court can make a wise judgment, it will not be so, so many garrisons stationed in the capital, all of them are shrunken turtles, and they dare not come forward to fight, in such a situation, they are still blindly commanding, do they really want to destroy the Ming Dynasty."
Zheng Xunrui's words were very harsh, and there was a mockery of the emperor, but at such a critical moment, Zheng Xunrui said such a thing, and everyone felt that it was taken for granted.
However, in half an hour, Zheng Xunrui wrote a letter, the content of the letter was very simple, asking Qin Liangyu to obey his command, not to pay attention to any holy decree for the time being, the battle against Houjin Tatar is a game of chess, and one move is accidentally lost in the whole game, Qin Liangyu is now taking a dangerous path, and it can be regarded as a wrong move, this move cannot go out, otherwise it will threaten the overall situation.
The wording of the letter is very harsh, with the meaning of order and reprimand, the situation is urgent, Zheng Xunrui will not be polite, and he needs to be domineering at this time.
When Wenkun Wang Xiaoer and Ma Xianglin left, Zheng Xunrui didn't give too many instructions, fortunately, it should be safe on the way, the Houjin Tartars led by Du Du were heading in the direction of Baoding Mansion City, Turai was still in Hejian Mansion, and Dolgon was also besieging Hong Chengchou in Yanqing Prefecture City, so Wen Kun and the others would not encounter any danger, the only thing they had to do was to rush to Changping Prefecture as quickly as possible.
In order to be able to ensure speed, everyone is equipped with three war horses, which can ensure that they are always in a hurry at the fastest speed, most of the white pole soldiers are foot soldiers, and the speed cannot be too fast, Qin Liangyu is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he must always make corresponding deployments, and it is impossible to attack recklessly.
Although he thought of everything and did everything, Zheng Xunrui was still worried, he didn't know if Wen Kun and the others would be able to catch up with Qin Liangyu, if Qin Liangyu had already launched an attack, then all the deployment arrangements would be in vain.
Moreover, Zheng Jiajun's operations will definitely be affected. To be continued
