Chapter 342

Li Xiao didn't dare to do the matter of killing officials, after all, Li Xiao didn't want to rebel.

All right! To be honest, it's not that I don't want to, but I don't have the strength to rebel. Counting from Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than 200 years. For more than 200 years, the people of the Ming Dynasty have long recognized the legitimacy of Emperor Zhu. This kind of psychological identification is not something that can be disintegrated in a moment.

"Brother Xiao, let's make two cups." Ao Canghai brought Man Gui and held a wine jar in his hand. As soon as Man Gui waved his hand, someone brought up a fat sheep.

The brothers were in the hall of the governor's yamen, lighting a charcoal brazier to roast the whole sheep.

"God willing, I finally have a queen." Ao Canghai shook the wine bowl into the air and drained the wine in the bowl in one gulp. Perhaps he felt that a glass of wine was difficult to reward God, so he poured it and drank another bowl.

"Planted?" Li Xiao watched the fire of gossip burning in Ao Canghai's chest.

"It's planted, and his mother's work has been busy for two whole months. Damn, it's more tiring than digging trenches. Ao Canghai took a knife, peeled a piece of mutton, wiped it in a salt bowl, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Hey, hey! What's ......! I'm got a good match, too! ”

"Smack!" The bowl fell to the ground and shattered into eight pieces.

Seeing Man Gui's shy appearance, Li Xiao was so surprised that even the wine bowl in his hand fell to the ground. This is the murderous Manye? How could he ...... Shy?

"I said Lao Man, a big man, what kind of dick is a woman every day. Belch......! It's a fucking dick thing! Dry! Ao Canghai happily had a drink with Man Gui, and the two fathers were congratulating each other.

"Don't mention whether it's good to repair trenches, when I think of repairing trenches, I think of that night on the edge of the Hunhe River."

"Hey......! At that time, we were really vulnerable! The white pole soldiers and the Qi family army are all good. In all conscience, they are inferior to us when it comes to firearms. But when it comes to grappling and fighting, they are much stronger than our soldiers in military formation tactics.

But even those strong soldiers are still no match for the Tartar soldiers. Big gold, they died unjustly! Lao Ao was a little melancholy, poured a bowl of wine and spilled it on the ground.

"Lao Ao! No matter how powerful the Tartar soldiers are, they can only retreat to the north bank of the Liao River now. If it weren't for the fact that our troops were too small, we would have gone north to kill them a long time ago. What a pity! Not counting the Third Division, we have a total of less than 20,000 people. This little force has to defend Shandong, Liaodong, and Changxing Island. Overstretched! Man Gui took a sip of wine, his expression very helpless.

"I want to recruit more, but I can't help it. Money, where does the money come from. Over the years, Lao Tzu has been busy with money. But look at it, how much cash do we have in our homes now?

This year, Liaodong has easily achieved self-sufficiency, and finally has been able to free up some money to build the third division. The second child told me eight hundred times that he wanted to build a battleship. But I just pressed it because I didn't have any money. In the huge Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, only three five-masted ships are far from enough. The second child hasn't been ashore much this year, and he is floating on the sea. Thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable.

At the age of eighteen, it's time to start a family. Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, and poured a large sip of wine in one gulp.

"Brother Xiao, this is not bad. Now that you have become the governor of Shandong, the military headquarters of the Third Division has also approved the documents. After the New Year, I took the soldiers to walk around Shandong, and let them see the military might of our Liao army. Save all day and night, this thing and that thing, annoying! ”

"It's just that the miscellaneous county orders, government platforms, and Taoist platforms in the local area are not fucking good things. There are also those big families who dare to fight the idea of our demobilized veterans. I'm tired of living, and I killed less last time. Ao Canghai exuded a strong killing intent.

A few years ago, there would be veterans who would be discharged from the army, and some veterans would be bullied by local bigwigs when they returned home. Breaking the time, such news came back one after another. Li Xiao felt that after a while, Man Gui needed to take the cavalry around Shandong, and when he encountered his own brothers who were bullied, he would also support his waist and strengthen his courage.

"Humph! We are not afraid of Tartars, but are we still afraid of these big families? After the formation of the Third Division, with our current guys. Lao Tzu led his troops to level Shenyang and catch Huang Taiji's bastard again.

It was so good to tell us at the beginning, but now everything has changed. Damn, don't beat him, this kid just heals the scar and forgets the pain. ”

"Yuan Chonghuan has already been asked to send troops to Daling River, let's strike first this winter. Kill a batch of Tartars! ”

"Why did you drink it here?" The brother was talking, when suddenly a voice came from the door. If you look closely, it is Sun Chengzong.

"Old Sun!" The brothers stood up and said in unison.

"Get a chair for the old man, this sheep is good." The charcoal fire reflected Sun Chengzong's face red.

Li Xiao hurriedly moved a chair, found a direction with the smallest charcoal fire, and arranged for Sun Chengzong to sit down.

"I just heard you talk about Huang Taiji, this tartar can't be destroyed for the time being. We have made too many enemies in the court, and the emperor uses us, and at the same time guards us. So, Houjin still has to exist for a while. And......! We have to let Houjin make some noise, otherwise how can we highlight our hard work in the north? ”

"Old Sun! You're ......! Li Xiao looked up sharply, the old guy has unparalleled experience in political struggle. Of course, what he said makes sense, but the question is ......, let Houjin make a fuss, what kind of trouble do you want to make?

"You are good friends with Geritu of Gurko Mongolia, and Huang Taiji's father-in-law is the Great Khan of Horqin Mongolia. I heard that recently, Huang Taiji won the thirteen-year-old granddaughter of Tou Wu Ti Huli, the Borzigit clan. What did he do with the Horqin tribe to the west? ”

"He wants to bypass the Jinzhou defense line and go south to commit the border." Li Xiao immediately thought of what had happened in history, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners to bypass the Guanningjin defense line. Detoured to the Horqin grassland and attacked Xuanfu and Datong. even attacked Juyong Pass and occupied Zunhua to threaten Changping.

"Oh, your kid's brain is pretty bright. It's not bad as the old man expected! ”

"No! Can't let such a thing happen, and immediately ordered Yuan Chonghuan to attack Daling River. Be sure to attract Huang Taiji's attention to Jinzhou. Li Xiao immediately jumped up, not daring to imagine how much damage the Tatars would cause to the local people if they attacked Hebei.

Li Xiao clearly remembers that in history, Dolgon committed crimes. In Zhangjiakou alone, there were 300,000 corpses. The barbaric Houjin, who treats unarmed civilians, has never been merciful.

"Hehehe! Brother Xiao'er, do you know why the old man is so old that he still ties this old bone and the life of the whole family to you?

It's because you can't see the slaughter of our Ming people. From this point of view alone, you are stronger than all the elders of the imperial court who are full of benevolence and morality.

If they're in your position, they'll let the Tartars come in and kill them in the dark. In this way, the emperor could only rely on them more. They will also receive food and baggage from the imperial court.

But you won't agree to do this, and the old man won't agree to do it. Because the old man's hometown of Gaoyang County is on the road of Tatar. In any case, the old man will not exchange the lives of his hometown fathers for his own glory. ”

"Then you mean ......!" Li Xiao was a little puzzled.

"Tell the Emperor about the Tartars' intentions and the information we have obtained. Let the emperor transfer troops and go to have a hard encounter with the Tartars.

Of course, we also have to send troops. As long as you keep the Tartars out of the Wall, you win.

After this battle, the men and horses of the general army of the imperial court must have suffered heavy losses. Let everyone know the combat power of the Tartars, and the emperor will know how difficult it is for us to stay in Jinzhou. In the future, it will be much easier for us to ask for food and salaries or to expand the army. ”

"Hmmm! I think what Sun Lao said makes sense, we have been up to it for so many years. I also have to let the miscellaneous people in the court know that the current Tartars are also changing shotguns, not when they used broadswords and spears in the past. Ao Canghai came out and strongly supported Sun Chengzong.

"When you use a big sword and a spear, you can't do it. If it weren't for Brother Xiao'er, Shanhaiguan would not be able to say it! "Man Gui has always been in the role of mending the knife.

Li Xiao didn't speak, he was still a little worried that the Ming army would not be able to bear it. In the past two years, with the help of the Dutch, I was stimulated by myself. The Houjin army is very different from the previous Houjin army that only knew cavalry and archery.

Now this Houjin army has become a semi-firearms unit. In terms of artillery, it was even more powerful than most Ming troops. If the Ming army encounters the Eight Banners, I am afraid it will also suffer heavy losses.

"Brother Xiao, don't hesitate. The more you hesitate, the greater the damage to Da Ming. The enemy is there, and it's useless to run away. Soldiers always have to go to the battlefield, and it is also a matter of fate. Sun Chengzong held the wine bowl handed over by Ao Canghai and took small sips.

"Old Sun, have you already handed over the excerpt?" Li Xiao remembered that Sun Chengzong was a political envoy. According to the level, there is also the qualification to go to the chapter.

"Not bad!" Sun Chengzong nodded.

"It's all like this, what are you discussing!"

***********************************

Zhu Youzhen's head hurts badly, and the chaos in Shaanxi and Gansu has not yet been resolved. Now the Tartars are going to bypass Jinzhou and join forces with the Mongols to attack Shanxi, and even the city of Beijing. Any emperor would have a headache when he heard such news.

"Hooray, this should be true. The Jinyi guards also heard that the Tartar soldiers were collecting grain and grass. And the grain and grass are not hoarded in Liaoyang, but in Zhangwu. Originally, the ministers didn't understand why they would hoard grain and grass in Zhangwu. Now it is clear that they want to attack Gyeonggi from Beijing through Mongolia. ”

Luo Yangxing saw the recital handed over by the emperor, and immediately said with a sudden understanding.

"No, they shouldn't be able to pass the Juyong Pass, right?" Wang Chengen asked suspiciously.

"Princess, you don't know. Now the Tartar artillery is also very powerful, if they really want to attack Juyong Pass. Our defenders, I'm afraid, really can't stand it. ”

"Hooray! Then hurry up and transfer Li Xiao to the north, no matter what, Gyeonggi can't be disturbed by the Tartars. ”

"Li Xiao said in the chapter that he now has only more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. If you can manage Shandong, you can't manage Zhili, and if you manage Zhili, you can't manage Shandong. It is said that the Wa Kingdom is a little ready to move. This Shandong year is just better, so it's better not to mess up. ”

"That's ......!"

"Yang Sichang, what do you say that you are a soldier of the military department?" Zhu Youzhen looked at Yang Sichang.

"The Liao Army Department really can't cope with so many places. Yuan Chonghuan's department only had more than 9,000 people, and he not only had to hold the Guanningjin defense line. It is already a great thing to have to protect the attack of Houjin and the ability to protect the Ningjin defense line. It is certainly unrealistic to let them help defend it. If Yuan Chonghuan is transferred away, what if something happens in Jinzhou, what if this is the Tartars' plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?

I think! After last year's battle of Liaodong, the Jiangnan Forbidden Army has proven that they are a combatable army. They can be transferred to defend Juyongguan. In addition, Hong Chengchou's department can also hold Datong.

As for Xuanfu, ......! The minister felt that it was better to let Li Xiao send troops to protect it. As long as Xuanfu, Datong, and Juyong Pass are not lost. It was impossible for the Tatars to enter the Gyeonggi Strongland.

Take a step back, even if it's a feint of the Tartars. If we want to attract the Liao army into the customs, we don't use Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers, and the purpose of the Tartars will not be achieved. "Yang Sichang is worthy of being a squire in the military department, and whoever can fight and who can't fight the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are all in his head.

The military system of the Daming Guard has completely collapsed, and the generals who can fight the most. It was also cleaned up in Liaodong by Houjin, and now he looks at the Ming Dynasty. There are only a few divisions that can fight. That's just 100,000 people.

In just a few sentences, the key points were said. Zhu Youzhen nodded frequently!

"Hooray! The old slave felt that Shandong's affairs were inseparable from Li Xiao. It is better to transfer Ao Canghai, the governor of Shandong, into the Xuanfu, so that even if there is something in Shandong, no one will take care of it. Wang Tiqian mended the knife in the back.

The arrangement was perfect, and several important towns of the northern defense line were held. The Tartars could not go straight in, at most they would harass them on the border.

"Good! In accordance with what has just been discussed, it is planned to give Ao Canghai, the governor of Shandong, and let him lead his troops to Juyong Pass as soon as possible. There is also the transfer of the Jiangnan Forbidden Army Shi Kefa Department into the Xuanfu. Hong Chengchou's troops temporarily delayed their entry into Shaanxi to consolidate the defense of Datong. After receiving the order, the troops must not postpone it for any reason, and must rush to the garrison site as soon as possible, and must not violate it. ”

Zhu Youzhen's voice echoed in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, as the Son of Heaven, he believed that this battle would definitely be won. The Tartar is already at the end of the crossbow, even if the Tartar does not come to his own trouble. He also wanted to send troops to attack Houjin and completely pull out the thorn hanging in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty.

But he never expected that he thought that this battle would be foolproof. It actually became the battle that Daming lost the most since he ascended the throne. In this battle, Houjin fully demonstrated their ferocity and savagery.
