Wan Qian refers to whether the peak can bear the worries of the forty-sixth section

December 20, 6th year of the Apocalypse, Kasumigaura

Huang Shi convened all the senior officers under him for a military meeting, Huang Shi's troops have rich experience in land warfare, Huang Shi himself is also the most sure of land warfare, and Changsheng Island Water Camp has not fought a battle for many years, although Shi Ce was born as a pirate in the Fujian Sea, but he is afraid that he has long forgotten his old business.

After discussion, everyone agreed that the rapid development of water divisions was an unrealistic problem. Moreover, the wood used to make the ship needs to be thoroughly dried, otherwise it will deform when the water strikes. Wood such as keels on large warships is believed by shipbuilders to be insured for two to three years, and then it takes another year to two years to build the ship.

Such a long time really makes Yellowstone feel a little intolerable, but the ships made after air drying can sail for more than 50 years, and if they are not completely dried, they can generally sail for five or six years, and the wood that is too fresh may fall apart as soon as it is watered.

Yellowstone suspects that the underlying principle lies in whether all the cells of the tree are dead. Perhaps a thoroughly dried tree has no living cells, and it will not deform when it is naturally watered; And the wood that still has the remnants of living cells either absorbs water or dehydrates, which makes the wood deform. However, this was just an idea, and he planned to find an opportunity to bake the wood and see if he could solve the problem of timing.

Now Yang Zhiyuan is still in Japan, and Liu Qingyang is still in Dengzhou. Among the high-ranking officers who had already come to Funing, He Dingyuan and Li Yunrui firmly supported the pacification of the southwest first, and both of them believed that they could play a greater role on the ground. Zhao Slow-bear has not yet thought about it, so he remains neutral for the time being. Bao Bowen, Hong Antong and Zhang Zaidi all felt that this was not within their scope of responsibility, so they had no opinion.

Although Fan Leyou is somewhat inclined to the navy. But the weight of his words was not enough to confront He Dingyuan and Li Yunrui, and he was not as firm as the latter two. As for Duncan, although he also has a lot of right to speak, he is also very conflicted in Duncan's heart, Duncan's favorite thing is artillery, and building a navy will definitely make more and larger artillery, but Duncan has no experience in the navy, and no matter how many cannons in the navy have nothing to do with him. In the end, Duncan was cautious and silent.

In the end, the town decided to give priority to sending troops to the southwest to quell the rebellion. First of all, the imperial court ordered the town to crusade against thieves such as Yu Chongming and An Bangyan. And the Minhai Kou has always been cleared by General Yu, the deputy general of the South Road. If the town rashly intervenes, it is easy to cause misunderstandings with colleagues, and it may also delay the time to send troops to the southwest, and will be impeached by the imperial historians. ”

Huang Shi then lowered his voice and said to the henchmen in the room: "Secondly, even if we both have to fight, it will be the first Fu'an Rebellion and then the Fujian Sea Wokou. After all, Hao Chongming and An Bangyan have more than 100,000 thieves, and if they can't be suppressed for a long time, the strength of the southwest rebels will definitely increase day by day, and it may become more troublesome to clean up in the future. And the Minhai people are still infighting, and I don't think they can become any climate for a while. ”

He Dingyuan and Li Yunrui naturally shouted loudly, although Jin Qiude still tended to be conservative, but seeing that Huang Shi's idea did not waver in the slightest, he no longer insisted: "Since the marshal has given the order." Then it will be obeyed. ”

Huang Shi nodded with satisfaction, Jin Qiude's habit of saying aloud when he has an opinion, but resolutely executing it after giving an order is very good: "Well, first calm the ** annoyance of the rebellion of luxury, and if the matter of Minhai is not solved after we return to the division, we can also put these pirates down easily, which will take less time than taking care of both." In case something happens in Liaodong, we can also withdraw from Jiangnan. ”

Jin Qiude didn't say anything, but there was still a hint of disapproval on his face, obviously he thought that Huangshi was a little worried. Huang Shi didn't try to convince Jin Qiude, but smiled and said, "We don't have much time to delay." ”

At the end of December of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Jingshi

Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River, sent two urgent reports to Beijing this month, believing that the Later Jin had a major attempt to attack Liaodong, but Mao Wenlong decided that the Later Jin's target was Kuandian rather than Korea, because Mao Wenlong believed that the Later Jin did not have enough time to achieve any results in Korea, and he asked the imperial court for help. On the one hand, he ordered the mobilization of the right association of Dongjiang Town.

After Mao Wenlong went to the Liaodong Metropolitan Mansion. The ministers of the king of Liaodong Jinglu immediately ordered the envoys to set off quickly, and ordered the Mongol tribes to prepare to send troops to Liaodong. In order to contain the strength of the Houjin field to cooperate with the Ming army in the Kuandian area......

"The ministers of the king of Liaodong Jinglu played a sparse: over the years, the slave chieftains begged for peace with the western captives, but the western captives did not obey; Submit to the DPRK, and the DPRK is not. Recently, the governor passed through the general order and whipped him back: "The people of the Han Dynasty have no brains, and they only say that we will not help the soldiers, but you carry a lot of gold and silk, and the lama will hang his filial piety and sue for peace, but he will teach others to be enemies with him. 'What shall I say accordingly?'

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse received the urgent report from Dongjiang Town, he convened the cabinet meeting again, and he personally read Wang Zhichen's recital, and Liaodong Jingluo's recent recitals were full of tears, saying that the Mongol tribes were either bright or dark, and refused to send troops to contain Houjin. Bayan Mongolia and other departments have always been subway poles in the Ming Dynasty, but this time they were also unhappy and felt betrayed by the Ming Dynasty.

When Lin Dan Khan was attacked in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong also shouted after learning about it, "Liaodong is in danger of victory or defeat, in one fell swoop!", so he ordered the soldiers and horses of Dongjiang Town to attack with all their might, storming Haizhou and Anshan, and forcing Nurhachi to return to the division. But this time, even Lin Dan Khan politely rejected Wang Zhichen's call, and Lin Dan Khan was very dissatisfied in his reply: accusing the Ming Dynasty of wanting to abandon him, after Chahar had a conflict with the Later Jin Dynasty for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty wanted to withdraw alone and let Chahar face the enemy by himself.

Although the words of the Mongolian tribes are different, the central meaning is almost the same, that is, they are all here to help, and if the Ming Dynasty itself does not want to fight, then they are not willing to make enemies for themselves. Wang Zhichen was deeply worried about this, so he wrote to the court to ask the court to strictly prohibit peace discussions, so as not to chill the hearts of the vassals.

Wang Zhichen also believed that the Kuandian Ming army would face a very serious situation. In order to salvage the situation, it was necessary to send envoys to pacify the Mongol tribes, and at the same time send troops to support Dongjiang Town, so as to strengthen the bridgehead of the Ming army in Kuandian, Liaodong.

Tianqi explained Wang Zhichen's opinion, and then asked the cabinet: "What do you say?"

"Holy Lord, the governor of Liaodong has also played a role in this matter. ”

Gu Bingqian shook his head and read Yuan Chonghuan's recital, which was very long. But the central meaning is correct, that is, Liaoxi is under the management of his Yuan Chonghuan. The situation is not small good, generally good, but very good, very good, Yuan Chonghuan swore to the imperial court that the Houjin army would never dare to attack Korea, but would definitely attack Liaoxi.

Yuan Chonghuan analyzed the emperor and said: According to his judgment, the current strategic situation is not at all as Mao Wenlong said, if the Houjin army is really mobilized. There is no doubt that the destination is Liaoxi, and Yuan Chonghuan also gave the location: that is, the three cities of Jinzhou, Youtun and Ningyuan. In the end, Yuan Chonghuan further swallowed mountains and rivers and assured Tianqi: "The ministers divide their troops into three ways to fortify, and they will definitely make sure that there is no return." ”

After concluding his analysis of the strategic situation, Yuan Chonghuan immediately exerted his high political sense, believing that Wang Zhichen was jealous of his merits, and Yuan Chonghuan reminded the emperor of the experience of Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen in the past, and begged the emperor to give him full trust and severely crack down on Wang Zhichen's opportunity to frame his colleagues.

Yuan Chonghuan played and wrote with emotion. The cabinet was almost overwhelmingly sympathetic to him, and the cabinet was going to suggest to Tianqi to support Yuan Chonghuan, but they found that there was no need for it, and Tianqi ordered after listening to the recital: "Good words to appease the governor of Liaodong and tell him that I will not listen to slander, well." The next reprimand was given to the Liaodong Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the ministers of the king were instructed to concentrate on their work, not to stare at their own people all day long, and the cabinet should draw up votes. ”

"Yes. Gu Bingqian waited for a while after agreeing, but there was one more thing that the emperor did not give absolutely clear instructions, but Gu Bingqian would never take the risk of making himself a villain, and he asked again: "Holy Lord, how should the Liao matter be deployed?"

"Of course, it is up to the governor of Liaodong to decide. ”

"Yes. Gu Bingqian hurriedly agreed, so that even if Wang Zhichen was not satisfied, he would not be able to complain about Gu Shoufu.

......

The seventh year of the Apocalypse. Xiamen

Huang Shi bid farewell to Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, in the early morning of Zhengdan. Then left Quanzhou and went straight to Xiamen, and in the evening of the same day, Huangshi was already in front of the deputy general army on the South Road.

"Great. Isn't this New Year's Day gift you prepared for General Yu a bit ......" Hong Antong didn't like the Huangshidi gift, and he couldn't help but oppose it again.

"Oh. In addition to other gifts, Huang Shi also carried a bag of pig's trotters in his own hands, he smiled after hearing Hong Antong's worried question, raised the bag of pig's trotters in his hand and looked at it, and smiled without looking back: "It's okay, this is very good." ”

Yu Zhigao has also made a lot of military exploits over the years since he defended Fujian, but he does not have the backstage of the central government, nor does he have any strong Austrian aid. After Huang Shi came to snatch his position this time, Yu Zhigao was naturally angry in his heart, so he simply stayed in Xiamen and didn't leave. After Huangshi arrived in Fujian, Yu Zhigao also used the excuse that he was busy with military affairs and could not go to visit him for a while.

When Huang Shi went to Quanzhou for the first time to meet Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, Governor Zhu also chatted with Huang Shi for a long time, telling Huang Shi not to be as knowledgeable as Yu Zhigao, and to be considerate of the resentment in Yu Zhigao's heart. Huang Shi also expressed his deep gratitude to Governor Zhu for his care, and at the same time generously said that he would never deal with an old man who was not too young.

However, Hong Antong didn't seem to have a very good impression of Zhu Yifeng, and after going out, he secretly reminded Huang Shidao: "Governor Zhu seems to be afraid that the adults don't know that General Yu is not convinced, for fear that the commander will not know that General Yu deliberately did not come to visit the commander, well, his subordinates feel that Governor Zhu seems to have the heart to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"That's right, I think so too," Huang Shi said to the head of the gendarmerie with a grin, "That's why I have to echo him and say a few words to General Yu." ”

When he said goodbye to Lord Zhu Yifeng today, Huang Shi also deliberately explained, saying that after listening to Zhu Yifeng's advice last time, he thought about it repeatedly and felt that what Lord Zhu said was particularly reasonable, and that harmony between colleagues should still be the most important, so he took the initiative to visit Yu Zhigao in accordance with Lord Zhu's teachings.

Huangshi's greeting post was handed in for a while, and the deputy general's mansion was opened. Yu Zhigao, the deputy general of the South Road, snatched out the arrow, saluted Huang Shi and said: "I don't know that Huang Dashuai is coming, and the last general will miss the distance, what a sin." ”

"Old General Yu is too polite, and the younger generation doesn't dare to be it. Huang Shi replied with a flat salute, and when Yu Zhigao invited him into the door, Huang Shi also gave in. Be sure to enter the middle gate side by side with Yu Zhigao.

After entering the deputy general's mansion, Huang Shi saw a large number of Xiamen military attaches waiting for him in the central hall. It's about the same as Yellowstone's estimate. Today, most of the military attaches in Xiamen came to Yu Shigao's mansion early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings. Huang Shi had already made a calculation, Zheng Dan had to rush to Xiamen to pay New Year's greetings to Yu Zhigao no matter what, of course, he must go to visit Zhu Yifeng before coming to Yu Zhigao, so Huang Shi set off in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't have a good year.

After entering the middle hall, Huangshi was on the ground in front of the military attaches in Xiamen. Both hands handed the bag of pig's trotters to Yu Zhigao: "Old General Yu, Happy New Year." ”

Yu Zhigao took Huangshi's pig's trotters with a red face, happily carried the bag to the living room, and handed it to the underground people around him. Yu Zhigao is now the deputy general of Funing Town after all, and in terms of status, he is still a subordinate of Huangshi, if he wants to pay New Year's greetings, it should be him Yu Zhigao who goes to Huangshi instead of the other way around.

And Huang Shi is like a small character, and he hurried to Yu's mansion on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which already made Yu Shigao feel very face-saving. After seeing the gift handed over by Huang Shidi himself. Yu Zhigao was even happier. Xiamen people eat pig's trotters, and when the younger generation goes to visit the elders during the New Year's holidays, they often carry a bag of pig's trotters.

This scene made Hong Antong behind Huangshi look stupid, he always felt that Huangshi's gift was nondescript, and he really couldn't take it. After seeing Yu Zhigao very happy, Hong Antong could only admire his superior, "the sage is omnipotent".

Although Huang Shi insisted on being called by seniority today, all the generals in Xiamen disagreed, and finally Huang Shi took a step back and agreed with Yu Zhigao to call him Huang Shuai, but the word "big" must be dispensed with.

Taste some sweet and salty rice cakes in the door, before the sun sets, Yu's mansion will have a banquet, at the banquet, General Yu and Huangshi naturally sit at a table, and each table also has a "sea cucumber stewed pig's trotters" dish. Although people from other parts of China are also very fond of this food, few of them are as fond of food as the people of Xiamen. Many of the generals who came to visit General Yu today brought pigs' trotters. The chef cooks a dish for everyone. Naturally, the pig's trotters brought by Yellowstone are among them.

When this dish was about to be finished, General Yu suddenly felt that something seemed wrong. Huang Shi gave himself a good face, but he didn't remind the chef just now, and it was a little too disrespectful to the chief to really confuse him with his subordinates. After thinking of this, General Yu's heart was also tight, so he wanted to explain that he was unintentional, so as not to cause any unpleasantness.

However, Huang Shi didn't seem to mind at all, and without waiting for Yu Zhigao to speak, Huang Shi took away the last piece of pig's trotters, and smiled at everyone: "General Yu's cook is really a good skill, I want to grab the last piece regardless of my face." ”

Everyone laughed, and Yu Zhigao also laughed: "Huang Shuai made fun of it, it's just coarse tea and light rice." ”

"I've eaten so much today, I don't know which brother has been wronged, but fortunately I also brought a bag of pig's trotters with me when I came, which can be regarded as a force in addition to a force, otherwise I am really uneasy. Huang Shi said as he ate the piece of pig's trotters cleanly, and he still looked unsatisfied.

"Huang Shuai didn't know, the old man's cook was originally a little famous in Xiamen, in order to invite him to the old man's house......" Yu Zhigao saw Huang Shi's salivating appearance, and his heart was even more proud, and he couldn't help but brag that his cook was coming, as for the apology, Yu Zhigao felt that Huang Shi didn't care at all anyway, so why did he bother to add right and wrong?

The dishes were still being served, and after a few drinks, Huang Shi asked about Yu Zhigao's recovery of Penghu, which was originally the most proud thing in Yu Zhigao's life. In order to monopolize the sea trade from Quanzhou to Manila, the Dutch landed on the Penghu Islands and built cities, trying to force the Fujian merchants to trade with them, and then they went to trade with the Spaniards.

Since the Dutch took control of the Penghu Islands, the risk of maritime trade for the Fujian merchants has increased. At first, the Dutch set up cards along the coast, or forcibly collected taxes from the Fujian merchants who went to Manila to trade on their own, or instigated some Dutch pirates to rob around Penghu, causing a lot of losses to the Ming merchants.

The Fujian authorities had advocated a peaceful settlement of the matter. In the end, the Dutch East India Company advocated the use of force to coerce the Fujian region to recognize their status, and strengthened the piracy based in Penghu, and even attacked the port of Zhangzhou by force.

Yu Zhigao strongly advocated the suppression, thinking that how the Ming Dynasty treated the Japanese during the Qi Jiguang period should treat the Dutch today. After the breakdown of negotiations. Yu Zhigao was ordered to command tens of thousands of Fujian sailors to fight against the Dutch. After three years of hard fighting, Yu Zhigao recovered most of Penghu. The Dutch also accepted the terms of the governor of Fujian, and pledged never to return to the Penghu Islands.

Recalling his hard work back then, as well as the beautiful fruits of victory now, Yu Zhigao became more elated the more he spoke. After General Yu opened the chatterbox, he couldn't close it anymore, his gray beard shook and shook, and his two eyebrows danced up and down as the story progressed, so that Yu Zhigao couldn't even take care of eating.

"The old man has done a great evil to the country. It is enough to shield the peace of Fujian Province for a hundred years, hehehehe. ”

Yu Zhigao laughed for a while, and when he saw that another dish was served, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and put the fish head over for Huang Shi: "Huang Shuai, please, please, this is the habit of our Fujian people, and the fattest fish head must be eaten by the guests, hehe." ”

In the evening, Huang Shi left Yufu and went to live in the Xiamen government office. After saying goodbye and walking for a while, Huang Shi looked up to the sky and sighed: "In this way, I don't have to worry about it." ”

......

At the beginning of the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River, concluded that the Houjin attack on Kuandian was imminent, so he decided to attack Zhenjiang first, which could reduce the pressure on Kuandian. You can also take the opportunity to collect some food for the winter, which can be described as a win-win strategy.

At the same time, in Liaoyang.

The Later Jin regime ordered all the people over the age of 16 in the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the left and right wings of Mongolia to join the army, and those who were willing to join the army of the Han people could also be relieved of their status as serfs and granted private land, and if they could make military achievements, they could even get official positions. This time, Huang Taiji levied nearly 30,000 armor and more than 50,000 unarmored auxiliaries in one fell swoop, and assembled an astonishing number of 80,000 troops, which was also the largest military assembly since the birth of the Later Jin regime.

"It's an unprecedentedly large force. It will definitely surprise Mao Wenlong. "Mang Gurtai stood at the head of the city. Looking at the large number of troops rushing out of the gate of Liaoyang City under their feet, the 30,000 troops of the front army had already arrived in Phoenix City. But the rear army has not yet finished from Liaoyang.

Today, Mang Gurtai will lead the last group of troops to set off, and Huang Taiji, who is ready to sing the empty city plan, will come to see him off. After hearing Mang Gurtai's emotion, Huang Taiji smiled: "Such a good opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if you can't solve the Dongjiang Army once and for all, you will not be able to recover Mao Wenlong within a year." ”

Although Mang Gurtai knew that Huang Taiji was unlikely to change his mind, he still asked with concern for the end: "Are you really not even leaving the guards?"

"Don't stay, the night is long and there are many dreams, we have to defeat Mao Wenlong as fast as possible. Besides, if Liaoxi really dares to send troops, what can I do if I leave a team of white-armored guards?" Huang Taiji and the other three major Baylors have discussed this issue many times, and every time the Houjin army stays outside Liaozhong for more than a month, Mao Wenlong will definitely come to make trouble, so the Houjin has no time to dismantle the strategic encirclement network in other directions.

But if Mao Wenlong is attacked, Mongolia and Liaoxi will pose a mortal threat to the Later Jin, and the main force of the Later Jin army is pinned down by the strategic encirclement network. If you want to disintegrate Mongolia and Liaoxi, you must first defeat Mao Wenlong, and if you want to defeat Mao Wenlong, you must first disintegrate Mongolia and Liaoxi...... It was meant to be an endless loop that could not be unraveled from within.

"This is such a rare opportunity, and we must not hesitate to throw our full strength. Huang Taiji looked at Mang Gurtai, who still had a worried look on his face, and smiled lightly: "Fifth brother, don't worry, I have no problem deceiving Yuan Chonghuan for half a year, the only problem is only grain and grass, you must solve it quickly." ”

"Four months of grain and grass should be enough, and we can still collect some locally in North Korea, but what I'm worried about is not this, but what will happen in the second half of this year?"

In order to make up the military rations for the certificate, in addition to looting the reserves of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the left and right wings of the Mongols, Huang Taiji also swore to the Han people under his rule, saying that as long as they handed over a bucket of rice, they would be exempted from all taxes and labor for this year. Some Han people don't believe a word of Huang Taiji's words. However, some people took out the grain from the hidden land and took away the guarantee that the Houjin regime would be exempted from paying taxes this year.

This time, when Huang Taiji issued a big ticket, the other three Baylors chose to support him, because they all knew that the current opportunity was not to be missed, and this was the only chance to get out of the military predicament. But if Huang Taiji really fulfills his promise, not only will the Eight Banners lose tens of thousands of coats, but also this year's grain tax will be reduced by half.

Although there is only one step at the moment. However, Mang Gurtai is also full of worries about the future, if he can't eat in winter. Then I had to take the Han people again. Everyone knows that the people under his rule will kill fewer and fewer people, and it will be a matter of time before they are destroyed, but this glass of wine is known to be poisonous wine, so it will have to be drunk at that time.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, I have a way. Huang Taiji smiled incomprehensibly and sent away Mang Gurtai, who was full of doubts.

......

In the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Amin led 30,000 former troops from Phoenix City to make a feint attack on Kuandian. After Mao Wenlong learned that Mongolia could not come for reinforcements, he commanded the Dongjiang headquarters to attack Zhenjiang more than once, trying to share some of the pressure for Chen Jisheng. After successfully luring the snake out of the hole, Amin bypassed Mao Wenlong's headquarters and attacked Uiju in North Korea, after which Jinnai should open the city gate to welcome Amin into the city, more than 10,000 Dongjiang refugees were killed in Yiju and its vicinity, Mao Wenlong retreated to Dongjiang Island by sea, and ordered the second line of troops of the Dongjiang Army near Tieshan to be urgently mobilized.

......

At the end of the first month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the Ming court, which received an urgent report from Mao Wenlong, urgently asked the governor of Liaodong that Ji would be released? Yuan Chonghuan told the imperial court that there was no need to panic at all. As long as a messenger is sent with a handwritten letter from Yuan Chonghuan, he can order Huang Taiji to retreat!

Unfortunately, although Yuan Chonghuan ordered it, Huang Taiji refused to withdraw his troops without knowing how to raise it. After Kim broke through Uiju in the middle of the first month, 80,000 troops rolled into Korea. Amin and Mang Gurtai, Zilharang and others immediately divided into two routes, of which 50,000 troops pointed to Tieshan, an important material warehouse for the Dongjiang army, and captured it in February, and the poor reserves of Dongjiang also fell to the enemy.

After the loss of the supplies of Tieshan, the Dongjiang headquarters almost fell into a situation where it could not be maneuvered, Chen Jisheng hurriedly commanded the Right Association to go down the mountain, and launched desperate suicide attacks on the supply lines of the Houjin army, trying to contain some pressure for the headquarters. At present, the Left Association is still in the chaotic rectification period, and there is no ability to attack for a while, Mao Wenlong hurriedly ordered Zhang Pan to transport the grain stored by the Left Association to the headquarters at the same time. Asked the court for help again. It is hoped that the Ming army in western Liaoning will be dispatched to win a respite for the Dongjiang army.

The Ming court again urgently ordered Yuan Chonghuan to send troops to attack the Liaozhong Plain, and Yuan Chonghuan wrote a defense and said: "Mao Shuai has ice every winter. The island is avoided, and the world knows it. Those left behind by Tieshan are old and weak and beautiful!" In short, Yuan Chonghuan believes that the Korean war situation is not at all critical, and Mao Wenlong still has a lot of spare strength that has not been used, so he will not send troops at all.

At the end of February of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jingshi

The cabinet read the latest note of the governor of Liaodong to Tianqi, Yuan Chonghuan said that he "already knew" the plan of Houjin to attack Korea, and the reason why he said last time that Houjin's target was Liaoxi instead of North Korea was not that he Yuan Chonghuan was overlooked, but because he wanted to take the opportunity to build a castle, Yuan Chonghuan also put forward a grand plan to build a city, that is, to repair the fort step by step, "and Jinyi, and Guangning, and Liaoshen, step by step", as long as you can repair all the way to the bottom of Huang Taiji's nose without being interrupted, then "four years before and after, you can win." ”

"Nonsense!" Tianqi stood up from the throne suddenly, and his arms trembled with anger: "Saving soldiers is like fighting fires, I say that the earth is to save soldiers, not to repair the city! ”

"The Holy One is angry. Gu Bingqian and the others thanked each other, and then said hesitantly: "Saint, there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, so let the governor of Liaodong act cheaply." ”

"No, although I don't know how to fight, it is definitely wrong for the governor of Liaodong to do this. The Apocalypse had recovered from his anger, and he took a deep breath and said aloud: "Tell the governor of Liaodong: 'If Korea is not supported, it will become a slave, and the slave will be prosperous, and it will not be my benefit. ’...... Then send a decree to the governor of Liaodong;' And let Guan Ning's division go straight to the tiger's den' to relieve Mao Shuai's predicament. ”

"Yes. ”

......

At the beginning of March of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, resisted the decree for the third time, and said that he was not unaware that the 100,000-strong Jin army attacked Korea, and this time Yuan Chonghuan also admitted that this force was afraid that Mao Wenlong would indeed not be able to resist. However, Yuan Chonghuan argued that he guessed, heard, and estimated that the Houjin army actually only had 200,000 troops, because since Huang Taiji dared to stay in Liaoyang by himself, he must have commanded 100,000 troops to wait for work.

Since Huang Taiji left behind an army that was not inferior to the Guanning army, and he Yuan Chonghuan had insight into the enemy's treacherous schemes, Yuan Chonghuan thought that it was absolutely impossible to attack Liaozhong.

“...... Hearing that 100,000 slave soldiers plundered and 100,000 people lived in guards, how could they see and speculate in vain? No matter if the hanging army cannot go deep, even if it goes deep, it will be detrimental to the ?......"

On the Golden Luang Palace. Apocalypse shook his head and muttered, "This is not right, although I have not fought, it is certainly not right. ”

Without waiting for Gu Bingqian to finish reading, Tianqi said impatiently: "Pick the important thing, what is the governor of Liaodong going to do?"

"Back to the saint, the governor of Liaodong said that he was building three castles: Daling River, Xiaoling River and Xingshan. Gu Bingqian didn't dare to say a good word for Yuan Chonghuan now. The mouth is full of "what the governor of Liaodong said, how the governor of Liaodong said", anyway, there is no responsibility of Gu Shoufu. Gu Bingqian flipped through Yuan Chonghuan's recital, and whispered to the emperor: "The governor of Liaodong said: 'If the city is not finished and the enemy arrives, it will be retreated, and it will be abandoned successfully!', the governor of Liaodong thought that he should not provoke Jiannu, so as not to be beaten. ”

"If you don't provoke Jiannu, won't Jiannu come to fight?" Tianqi shook his head. There was a look of tiredness on his face: "I don't want to argue with the governor of Liaodong anymore, it's only three things, he can't resist the decree anymore, let's make another will, let him send troops immediately." ”

"Yes. ”

......

In the middle of March of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, under the three orders of the imperial court. Yuan Chonghuan sent 500 sailors to support Mao Wenlong, and then ordered Zhao to lead 9,000 troops out of the Daling River and send troops to the Sancha River hundreds of miles away, preparing to cross the river on a pontoon bridge.

At the end of March, after the main force of the Houjin Army penetrated deep into the hinterland of Korea, the Dongjiang Army began to launch a counteroffensive to the flank and rear of the Houjin Army.

At the beginning of April, the Dongjiang Army regained Tieshan, and the Guanning Army had not yet built a pontoon bridge.

April 11th. Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army fought a fierce battle with the Houjin army at Bottle Mountain. It was a great victory for the Ming army, plus the head of Baoyi, Han Army and other places. The beheadings totaled more than 1,000 levels, and after being inspected by Leyden Town, there were more than 500 Houjin armor soldiers, and the Houjin army decided to retire. At this time, the Guan Ning army had not yet built a pontoon bridge......

On 15 April, the Dongjiang Army recaptured Changcheng, and the Guanning Army returned to ......

On 18 April, the Dongjiang Army fought fiercely with the Houjin Army at the Yalu River, and the Houjin Army began to withdraw from Korea, and the Guanning Army ......

At the end of April, Yuan Chonghuan ordered the Guanning army to be squad, and when they left, the pontoon bridge still could not be built.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Jingshi

"Liaofu aid fresh, the arrangement is extremely impressive. It is the officers and soldiers who look at the river and stop, this is really a soldier on paper. Can Liao Bingguo be used?"

Gu Bingqian finished reading the impeachment chapter of Wang Zaijindi, and secretly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, Tianqi tightened the corners of his mouth, and the cabinet knew that this expression showed that the emperor was in a very bad mood, so no one wanted to come out and touch the mold.

"Elder Gu Ge, what do you think?"

Although the voice of the apocalypse was still as kind as usual, when he heard this question, Gu Bingqian's heart twitched fiercely, although he shouted in his heart, "Wronged, what is this for me", but the emperor couldn't help but answer, Gu Bingqian quickly wiped the sweat on his forehead without attracting attention: "Back to the saint, the old minister listened to what the governor of Liaodong said......"

"I don't want to listen to the governor of Liaodong, I want to listen to you, aren't you my Yuanfu?

"Holy forgiveness, forgiveness. Gu Bingqian jumped up from the chair with agility that was not commensurate with his age, knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.

Behind the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian's sleeves were lowered, as if he was staring at the tips of his boots in a daze, and his eyes did not make contact with the ministers at all. The other two pavilion elders also looked at the tip of their noses expressionlessly, deaf to the voices around them.

Tianqi held the armrest of the throne with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and comforted Gu Bingqian in a soft voice: "I just want to hear what you think, Elder Ge?

"Holy forgiveness. ”

"Ge Lao, you are talking, you are my Yuanfu. ”

"Holy forgiveness. ”

"Forget it," Tianqi suddenly snorted coldly, and leaned back heavily: "Elder Ge, did you say what the governor of Liaodong said?"

"Yes. Gu Bingqian replied calmly and forcefully, kneeling straight as if he had been amnestied: "The governor of Liaodong said: 'The three cities have been completed, and the battle defense is four hundred miles away, and the golden soup is solid!', this time taking advantage of the opportunity of the emptiness of Houjin, the three cities were successfully built, so Liaoxi should be worry-free." ”

At this time, Tianxuan's right elbow was propped up on the armrest of the throne, his hand was on his forehead, and he asked a little absentmindedly: "Are the three cities of Daling River sure to be repaired?"

"The governor of Liaodong said that it was repaired. ”

"Well, at the end of last month, Mao Shuai sent an urgent report, saying that he heard that Jiannu was going to attack Liaoxi on the sixth day of the fifth month, that is, tomorrow, Mao Shuai said that he was difficult to separate, so he asked the Liaodong Metropolitan Government to take precautions as soon as possible. I just want to know if the three cities of Daling River, Xiaoling River, and Xingshan have been repaired, and if there will be problems in Liaoxi?"

"The Holy Lord, the governor of Liaodong said: 'If Mrs. Hong does not come, he will be captured by the ministers'. ”

Tianqi sneered lazily: "The governor of Liaodong said, the governor of Liaodong said...... Is that city repaired, or is it not? Is there a problem with the defense of Liaoxi? What does my Motosuke say?"

"Holy forgiveness. ”

"Innocence, innocence. Apocalypse screamed impatiently twice, and then stood up as soon as he stood up, and just now, a deep sense of disgust welled up in the young emperor's chest, making him almost suffocate. After standing up and taking two breaths, Tianqi, who felt a little better, looked down at the three pavilion elders in front of him again, and suddenly that feeling came like a tide, hitting Tianqi's feet and stumbling. He decided to go to the carpenter's job to breathe: "I have a headache, it hurts, your cabinet and the celebrant should discuss this matter, don't disturb me, no matter what you want to do, I agree and agree!"

On April 18, the ink of the contract with Korea was not dry, and on the sixth day of the fifth month, that is, on the exact same day as Mao Wenlong's prediction, the four banners of the army and horses that had just returned to Liaozhong set off. In addition to the 10,000 armor of the four banners, Huang Taiji also mobilized 20,000 coats and bannermen, and asked them to push a cart for every four people to carry grain to Liaoxi.

"Fifth brother, do you know how I solve the grain?" Huang Taiji rode on his horse and smiled at the people around him, Mang Gurtai's rear army had just returned to Liaoyang, and Huang Taiji immediately set off as a whole brigade,

"Are you going to move to Liaoxi?"

"Haha, I've already inquired clearly, Yuan Chonghuan has just repaired three cities including the Daling River, transported a large amount of grain, and stationed tens of thousands of Guanning troops. In addition, Yuan Chonghuan also built several thousand military camps in western Liaoning, and resettled dozens of men and women from military households. Not only can we bring the grain back, but we can also catch hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers to come back to farm, you see, the grain we have free this year, as well as the coats that have been released, aren't they all back? Haha. ”

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Xiapu

Ouyang Xin solemnly put the helmet with a five-inch red tassel on his head and walked out of the tent of the temporary camp. The orderly formation of the firefighting battalion engineer team was immediately displayed in front of them, and on the sea behind them, huge ships were slowly undulating. Ouyang Xin glanced at the feather forest with extremely jealous eyes, took a full breath fiercely, and shouted with all his strength:

"Send troops, our engineer team must be the first to enter Yunnan!"
