Chapter 1412: The Great General Leads the Soldiers Hanging Alone
People who are familiar with the topography of Liaozhen know that between Fuzhou and Gaizhou is a flat terrain, only a small hilly area in the middle, a flat area between the west coastline and the mountains, and fortress villages of different sizes along the way.
And Gaizhouwei is the throat of the whole Liaozhen, after Gaizhouwei, to the west is Guangning and Jinzhou, and then straight into the Liaoxi corridor, to the northeast is Liaoyang and Shenyang.
Guangning and Liaoshen are the two centers of Liaozhen, an important node of the Liaohe River system, Guangning is the gateway to Mongolia and the grassland, and Liaoshen is the center of gravity of the entire Liaozhen, where most of the fields and population are concentrated. 、
If Gaizhou Wei is taken, then he can calmly threaten the east and west of Liaozhen, that is to say, the two most important situations in the Jianzhou Jurchen Jin Kingdom will become tense, and there is even the possibility of being cut off by things.
After Zhao Jiajun beheaded nearly 10,000 people in Fuzhou, most people in the world were shocked by the strength of Zhao Jiajun, and felt that the number of Heavenly Mandate Qi had been attributed to Zhao Jin in Xuzhou, and the characters who really knew the overall situation of the Art of War would not be in a hurry to make a judgment, they felt that there was still a big battle between Fuzhou and Gaizhouwei.
Now that winter is approaching, the sea area of Liaozhen is frozen in winter, and there are no ships to enter and exit, and the Zhao family army on the Liaonan Peninsula has become a lone army.
In winter, the land is hard, after the autumn harvest, the treasury is full, the cattle and horses are strong, and the men will not be involved in farm work, which is the right time to mobilize the army.
That is to say, not long after, there will be a big war between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Zhao Jiajun crossing the sea, and there will be a lot of things that will be clear after this war, and it will really be possible to judge at that time, but some people don't think so, for example, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Datong and in charge of Shanxi, after confirming that the first level of Tianjin is true, will speed up the reorganization of the new army in the two places of Datong and Shanxi, and the pace of reform and innovation.
According to the news from the Jiangmen of Liaoxi, this time the Jianzhou Jurchens are afraid to mobilize an army of 30,000 to 40,000, which is already a very terrible number, almost the entire strength of two to three banners, plus the soldiers and horses of the Mongol, Goryeo and Xinfu Han armies, and the most terrible thing is that the horse team will have almost 10,000 horsemen.
The Ming Dynasty said that the Tartars were the first to bow and horses, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses that were previously defeated by the Zhao army were mainly foot soldiers, supplemented by a small number of cavalry, so now I am afraid that the capital will be used, and these cavalry are all earth-shaking and mighty.
Moreover, the firearms of the Zhao family were superior before, if the Jianzhou Jurchens brought Goryeo and the new Han army, then the firearms may not be able to take advantage of anything, the cannon Liaozhen is not nothing, the general cannon and the general cannon are in the hands of the Jianzhou Jurchen A lot, and the Goryeo people on the fire gun are not bad.
Then Feiyangu, the head of the five ministers, was killed by the fire gun in Goryeo, so the Jianzhou Jurchen is now fighting with Goryeo fire guns, this force is more than the Zhao family's army, the firearms are not bad, and there are so many cavalry, this time the Zhao family's army will be tested to be really good.
There are also people who say that the Jianzhou Jurchen is going to move the main force this time, and the Zhao family army is only a partial division there, such a life-and-death battle, shouldn't the commander Zhao Jin lead his brigade and regiment to go in person, he Zhao Jin is not there, but a big leader is below, and less than a quarter of the soldiers and horses are there, this is not what a partial division is.
The enemy is outnumbered, and in such a situation, there is really no chance of victory, so everyone has a judgment, if the Zhao family army does not increase its troops, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious.
Zhao Jiajun did not have a stubborn opinion, at the head of the Tianjin exhibition, he had already begun to increase troops to the Fuzhou side of Jinzhou in southern Liaoning, and the Fengpei regiment led by Lu Da rushed to Dengzhou Military Port and crossed the sea by boat.
The Fengpei regiment is a reinforced regiment, this time in order to cross the sea to support, the original regiment plus a brigade was changed to two regiments, and each regiment is full of ten companies of spear soldiers and four companies of musket soldiers, the original reinforced regiment only had four artillery, this time it was also increased to ten.
But no matter how you look at such an increase in troops, it is a drop in the bucket, and Zhao Jiajun did not hide his intentions, and there was news from Tianjin Port and Dengzhou Port, saying that there would be no more battalion heads to be transported there this year, and the next step was to hurry up and transport grain and grass over.
Such frivolity, such arrogance, is really the way to defeat, this Zhao Jiajun inevitably sees the Tartar too simply.
Interested people have already wondered by this time, it turns out that the Jingshi Imperial Court is in a fog about the details of the Jianzhou Jurchens, many details, and even many fundamental things are not clear, where did so much clear news come from.
After being noticed, it is easy to find out that the dare is that Liaoxi Jiangmen has been fanning the flames everywhere, and after this detail was lifted, more and more things came out.
For example, there were rumors that Zhao Jiajun's Jingguan was a good killing, and many villages in Shandong and Nanzhili were slaughtered, and then some people wanted to mix the people's heads into the Jingguan of the furnishings, but because of the strict guards there, they were directly pulled out, and then the next thing is to say that the reason why Zhao Jiajun won this battle was because he took advantage of the Tartars' loopholes, and the next prospect was not good.
What's even more laughable is that Liaoxi Jiangmen has always wanted to buy the heads of the Zhao family's furnishings and buy them back in exchange for their military exploits and rewards.
As soon as these details came out, everyone figured out the cause and effect, it was nothing more than that the Guanning border army in western Liaoning was completely suppressed by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and every time the war started, it was defeated and lost ground, but the Zhao family army had such a big victory, which set off their incompetence to the extreme, and even the imperial court continued to reprimand, if it was in the past, I am afraid that it would have been threatened with the mutiny of officers and soldiers, but the army stationed in Beizhili there, and the Zhao army landed in Liaozhen, and the center of the imperial court was ready to give up on Liaozhen, and I am not afraid that you will mutiny in the customs, so what do you care? Even the supply of food and grass with military salaries is not as priority as before.
From the heart of the imperial court to a state of not relying on both sides, how can this panic and loss be bearable, not to mention that it has been pampered by a large amount of silver over the years, once the supply is short, the reaction is even more intense.
There are rumors that Liaoxi Jiangmen is currently fighting fiercely, divided into several factions, some people want to vote for Jianzhou Jurchen, some people want to vote for Zhao Jiajun, and some people want to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it is said that there are still people who want to stand on their own, but Liaoxi really can't hold up, so the voice of this faction is very weak.
When these details were constantly lifted out, the chicken feathers and duck blood were all over the place, making Liaoxi Jiangmen disgraced, and they were also wondering how they spent money to spread the news with human hands, why did they not slander the other party, but were lifted out of the old bottom.
Some people vaguely guessed that it was the Xuzhou forces behind the manipulation, when they guessed that at this time, all kinds of suspicions and rumors disappeared, thinking that those who can can do anything, not only training and doing business, how can they even spread rumors so strongly.
When the rumors dispersed, there was only a calm and sober judgment left, whether Zhao Jiajun could survive until the second year on the Liaonan Peninsula was not optimistic at present.
There is another voice, that is, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are hanging overseas, if the commander of the soldiers and horses has any self-reliance thoughts, or wants to save themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to take care of it in winter, and this hidden danger should also be paid attention to.
Ma Chonghao's intelligence bureau collected a lot of such news, and sent it back to Xuzhou with a first-class encrypted urgent letter, and then there was no news from Shi Shenhai, and it took a few months for Zhao Jin's message to come back "do something useful", and everyone understood how to deal with it.
"Second master, since the beginning of the army in Xuzhou, you have led the troops to fight the big battles and victories, and now there are more than 10,000 strong soldiers in Liaodong, all of whom are the descendants of the second master, this is the capital that can make great things!"
The person who said this was also from Liaozhen, but he did not take refuge in Liaodong, but in Shandong.
Only Chen Sheng and this person were in the room, the man spoke slowly and earnestly, while Chen Sheng wiped the long knife, as usual, with an expressionless face.
"As long as I can capture Liaoyang and gather the Jianzhou Jurchen and Liaoxi Ming Army for my use, there will be 100,000 people in an instant, millions of people are strong, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, this is where the emperor's industry is, second master, this is a God-given opportunity!"
"Now everyone hasn't considered anything other than Gaizhouwei, but you said Liaoyang, you are so sure of Zhao Jiajun?" Chen Sheng asked.
"Second master, why are you not sure, our cannon, our firecracker, our elite, that is enough to run rampant in the world, in the past, the students thought that the Tartars were strong, and the Tartars were tigers and wolves, but today I only knew that they were sitting in the well and watching the sky, they were in front of the Zhao family's army, at best, they were like pigs and dogs, and they were all lifting them."
Chen Sheng looked at the master and shook his head, and asked, "Are you finished?" ”
The master felt bad, but saw Chen Sheng make a gesture, but there were three people dressed as ordinary soldiers walking out of the screen behind him, one of them was holding a special hard pen made in Xuzhou, the paper was full of words, and the soldiers sent the paper to Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng probably glanced at it a few times, covered his private seal, and someone brought an iron box, and sealed a few gaps with fire paint after loading this paper, and then bowed down and retreated.
After seeing this scene, this master was already as pale as earth, his body trembled like chaff, and he knelt directly on the ground, his lips trembled, and he couldn't even say a word of spare.
"I won't kill you, and when the sea opens next year, someone will go to Xuzhou with you with this confession."
"Second master, don't forget Han Xin's lesson, the birds are good and the bow is hidden, and when the world is peaceful, it is the end of the second master, this is a great opportunity, send **** to Jiangshan Sheji" The master suddenly came to the spirit, his face was full of resentment, and his face was full of resentment, and he shouted there.
The soldiers who wanted to step forward to arrest people all subconsciously took a step back, for fear that Chen Sheng would pull out a long knife and cut people, and the second master would be like a thunderbolt when he came out with a knife, but he never thought that Chen Sheng looked at the master and just shook his head, sighed and said: "You think you are smart, but in fact you are stupid!" ”
