Chapter 1352: Zhao Jin's Decision
Different from what Phi Dao thought, the ship for help was smooth sailing at sea, and arrived in Dengzhou in the fastest time, notifying Yunshanxing and Zhao Jiajun over there, and sending fast horses to Jinan and Xuzhou to send a message, and then a few ships went to Haizhou after a little supply, this news is important, and more backups must be made.
Whether it was the fast horse from Dengzhou Military Port or the ship to Haizhou, the journey was also smooth, and it even arrived earlier than expected, and the military situation also arrived at Zhao Jin's side in time.
"Big brother, there are more than 100 ships available in Dengzhou Port, if all the baggage mules and horses are used, there will be three regiments concentrated in Dengzhou Port in six days, even if there is no way to destroy the Tartars on Phi Island, it is not a big problem to rescue Zhao Songlai." When the news arrived, Wang Zhaojing immediately made a judgment based on the situation of all parties.
"There's no hurry, I have to think about it." Zhao Jin was very cautious.
"Big brother, the rush to rescue is not because Zhao Song's surname is Zhao, but this battalion is likely to be annihilated by the Tartar soldiers and horses, the Zhao family army has not even lost a complete company since it started, if a battalion is eaten, the army's heart will definitely be turbulent, and the forces of all parties who are already waiting and watching will also be ready to move." Wang Zhaojing said very directly.
Zhao Jin nodded first, shook his head again, and said solemnly: "What I want to think has nothing to do with his surname, one day sooner or later, it will not affect the overall situation, I want to think about it quietly, you go and bring someone who is familiar with Liao Town, and prepare for my consultation at any time." ”
Having said that, Wang Zhaojing had nothing to refute, but just issued an order for Haizhou Port and Dengzhou Port to start counting ships and start hoarding supplies, grain and grass, and make more sure of the earlier preparations.
Zhao Jin didn't think about it for too long, the news came at noon, after dinner after dark, Zhao Jin called Wang Zhaojing, Ji Xiang and Ruhui to his study, and the core people in Xuzhou are these people.
"After we forced the Ming Dynasty to negotiate peace in the Northern Expedition, we obtained Shandong and Nanzhili Jiangbei, let's say that we want to accumulate grain and slowly become king, eat these two places thoroughly, and then do big things, but inside the pass is inside the pass, and outside the pass is outside the pass." Zhao Jin explained in a deep voice, and after listening to a few words, Wang Zhaojing took a pen and paper and began to record non-stop.
Zhao Jin spoke quickly, and his voice was solemn: "The military and civilians of Liaozhen have already fled, and only a few of them can escape, most of them have stayed in Liaozhen and become the leaders of the Jianzhou Tatars, according to all parties, the Jianzhou Jurchens have been fighting since the beginning, and there are a small number of Han people in Liaodong in the ranks, they live in the border areas, and the interests of Jianzhou are intertwined, and they have long shared honor and disgrace, and now, there are more than 10,000 Han soldiers in Jianzhou Soldiers and Horses, it is conceivable that the longer they stay in Liaodong, the more the military and civilians of Liaozhen will be used by them, This principle is the same as what we have done in Shandong and Nanzhili. ”
Everyone can understand this statement, although it is not so good to compare yourself to the Tartars, but the reason is not bad, the longer you operate, the more the resistance consciousness of the enemy army and people will be weakened, and the more power you can mobilize.
"Half a year ago, the soldiers and civilians of Liaozhen were still rioting and fleeing, but now there are fewer and fewer, we can only know a few remnants are still insisting, why is so, on the one hand, the Jianzhou Tartars have tighter and stricter control over the locality, on the other hand, the Liaozhen soldiers and civilians have been dead to the Ming Dynasty and the Guannei, and began to consciously or unconsciously obey the Tartars, people always have to live, as long as the Jianzhou Tartars are not real beasts, it is not much different from before, if the conscience is extinguished and things are done together, there may be wealth and nobility, so on, Millions of Han people in Liaozhen will become the power of the Jianzhou Tartars, and these millions of Han people will become millions of Jurchens and millions of Tartars. ”
Everyone was moved, if it was empty and white-toothed, it would only be regarded as sensational, but Xuzhou did exactly that, and the Jianzhou Jurchen could naturally do it.
"I want Liaozhen, I want Baishan and Heishui, we are now developing steadily, step by step, and after annexing the world, we have to face the establishment of a state with a population of tens of millions, so it will be difficult to gnaw, and there will be unnecessary killings, I estimate the situation, I feel that it is better to move at this time than to move at that time, it is better to move at this time, the Ming Dynasty can not save the people of Liaodong and the danger of water and fire, then we Zhao Jiajun to rescue, we rescue them, then there is a righteous name, take the territory from the hands of the Ming Dynasty, I always have to fight with those stubborn strength who cherish the homeland, and I can take the territory from the hands of the Tartars, that is, the righteousness is mine, upright, and millions of Liao people are my Xuzhou people! ”
When Zhao Jin said this, it was inevitable that his voice was a little high, Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui were both excited, and Ji Xiang also couldn't hold back the excitement, Wang Zhaojing said loudly: "The reason why this Ming Dynasty can have two hundred years of country is because Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tartars, and with this righteousness, he naturally has the destiny of heaven. ”
"There are millions of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong, there are fertile fields that are larger than Shandong, and there are several good ports in the inland sea. Zhao Jin spoke his judgment.
"If Liaodong is taken and Liaoxi is swept away, and Beizhili is clamped down by Shandong and Liaozhen, it will be impossible to resist anymore!" Yoshika immediately understood the intention.
Zhao Jin nodded, picked up the cold tea and drank it all, and then said loudly: "Zhaojing, you come to draw up a military order, the first brigade, the second cavalry regiment, and the military barracks stationed in Dongchangfu form a provisional first division, Chen Sheng is the division of the first division, immediately pull out the camp and go to Dengzhou Port, cross the sea and land in Lushun, sweep away the Tartars, and seize Liaozhen, the second brigade immediately goes to Jinan Mansion, guards the original first brigade station, and fully cooperates with agriculture, commerce, craftsmanship, and foreign affairs. The 3rd Brigade and all the reinforced regiments and regiments are in a state of imminent battle, ready to repel the invading enemy! ”
Wang Zhaojing used his pen like flying, quickly wrote it down, and after the record was completed, he was stunned for a little check, hesitated, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, have landed since Lushun?" To save or not to save Phi Dao? ”
"Rescue, order Qi Erkui, deputy of the Haizhou garrison regiment, to recruit a regiment on the spot, carry Haizhou casting artillery and artillery, and set off for Phi Dao in Haizhou Port, if Zhao Song is here, if the Phi Island battalion is there, then converge to block the Tatar soldiers and horses, in order to annihilate them, if Zhao Song is not there and the Phi Island battalion is destroyed, Qi Erkui's regiment will go to Liaodong and cooperate with the first division to fight against the enemy." Zhao Jin has already had a belly case.
However, after saying this, Zhao Jin groaned for a while, and added another sentence: "If Zhao Song is here and the Phi Dao battalion is here, the Liao people will be recruited on the spot to supplement the Dingliao Independent Regiment, and they will march westward from Phi Dao, and the first division will respond in both directions." ”
"Big brother, Zhao Song is our battalion, if he goes one day early, his hope of survival will be one day greater, and the first division will take out a regiment to go to Phi Dao first, and he can take care of it completely." Ji Xiang couldn't help but speak, Zhao Song and Zhao Wan had been on the side of the Guards Brigade, Ji Xiang and them had a deep affection, but they couldn't help it when they heard this.
Zhao Jin pondered for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "Since his surname is Zhao, he must have the consciousness of the surname Zhao!" ”
The atmosphere in the room became dull for a while, Wang Zhaojing sighed, transcribed the general order again, and then asked Zhao Jin to use the seal, so that the orders involving the overall strategy of the Zhao family army must be treated solemnly, and he went to the teaching brigade to arrange for Sun Dalin to pass the order on the road.
After expounding the afternoon's thoughts, Zhao Jin's mood also eased a lot, and began to add the corresponding details: "The first knight regiment was sent to Shandong, and the teaching brigade and the personal guard brigade divided part of the riding company to maneuver around the north bank of the Yellow River. ”
After Sun Dalin set off with the military order, the entire Xuzhou system began to operate, the craftsmen began to recruit laborers, commerce and trade began to purchase materials, and the general's mansion sent the account office to check the treasury, and at the same time, Zhao's own fleet, the Zheng family's fleet and the Yu family's fleet all received orders and orders, requiring that they should not leave after unloading the goods, and they should cooperate with the Zhao family's shipping.
For this request, the Zheng family and the Yu family's fleet have nothing to say, and now the benefits that Xuzhou can give them are too great, everyone wants to make money along the coast north of the Yangtze River, and they can only beg for a living under Xuzhou, and such cooperation will naturally agree.
The artillery factory set up in Haizhou began to rush to work overnight, and their newly produced artillery had to be transported to Liaodong, and the Haizhou Port battery was even being dismantled, and half of the amount was to be supplied to the First Division.
Liu Yong and Ma Chonghao have rushed back to Xuzhou, the internal security and intelligence departments, to carry out all the spies arranged in Liaozhen, to provide intelligence and response to the landing soldiers and horses as much as possible, and then to keep an eye on the activities of the Ming Dynasty, not to let them get into any loopholes, and Ruhui took people to start running one by one, recruiting young people who are willing to kill back to Liaodong, these people are full of hatred, and they are familiar with the terrain and terroir of Liaozhen, and now they are also very needed.
Such an action can't hide people, and Zhao Jiajun didn't plan to hide anything, the transfer of more than 5,000 people in the first brigade couldn't be concealed at all, but when Zhao Jiajun made such a big move, Beizhili was already in chaos, and everyone's reaction was that the Xuzhou thieves were really going to rebel this time, and the ministers of the DPRK and China had clearly put forward the request to move the capital, and there were currently two places, one was Xi'an, and the other was Wuchang. But it soon proved to be a false alarm
