"It's okay, I did what I said......

On March 13, when Jinyi Wei sent the situation of Shenyang City back to the capital in the form of flying pigeons, the capital also quickly transmitted the information to the Yanshan camp.

At this moment, the Yanshan camp is very empty, because of the takeover of the Jizhen border defense, Mangui is in the Shanhaiguan in Yongping, and Sun Yingyuan is in Tongzhou, not far from the capital.

At present, except for the naval army, which has not been trained, the other nine guards and twelve battalions are stationed at the pass gap on the Yanbian side of the Great Wall, as well as in some important places in Shuntianfu.

At present, there are only Jin Wuwei, Shen Cewei and Bao Taowei in the Yanshan camp.

This made the Xinyanshan battalion, which could originally accommodate 100,000 people to train soldiers, very empty, and the people who trained the troops also became Zhu Youzhen himself, plus the assistance of the commanders of the three guards.

Although it was an assist, after more than half a year of study and some experience in his previous life, the ideas put forward by Zhu Youzhen were often adopted and applied at the first time.

The commanders of the three guards were just assistants who helped Zhu Youzhen train his troops, and Zhu Youzhen led his troops to inspect the nearby places where the fields were being divided from time to time.

Right now, he has just returned from Gonghua City in the south, and the people in Gonghua City have been allocated fields according to his policy, and everyone is in full swing.

After he asked Wang Chengen to distribute the ploughing cattle equally to his tenants, he returned to the Imperial Horse Prison.

As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Horse Prison, he got information about Shenyang.

In terms of intelligence, it is basically the same as Zhu Youzhen's thoughts, and even the fact that Nurhachi will drive the people into Shenyang and consume Shenyang's grain and straw, Zhu Youzhen also thought of it early.

Such means were not uncommon in ancient warfare, and it is not surprising.

It's just that he thought that Qin Bangping would ignore it, but he still made a mistake in judgment after all.

The impeachment of military generals by civil officials at the beginning of the Song Dynasty was too prevalent, and even more so in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen supported Qin Bangping to become the chief soldier of Shenyang, and the officials in the court were already unhappy, and they were impeached for a long time, but they were all pressured by Zhu Youxiao.

Qin Bangping should be able to guess these things.

He had no choice but to admit the people into the city for three reasons.

First, if the people are not accepted into the city and the officials are impeached, then if the impeachment is traced, it will inevitably be traced back to Zhu Youzhen's recommendation of him as the chief soldier of Shenyang.

Despite Zhu Youzhen's assurance, Qin Bangping was still unwilling to put more pressure on Zhu Youzhen.

Second, the people of Liaodong originally distrusted the Ming court because of the Gaohuai chaos in Liao, once Shenyang refused to save the people, and the matter spread in Liaodong, I am afraid that the Liao people would really surrender one after another.

Because in this matter, Nurhachi did not send Jianlu to hold the people hostage to attack the city, but drove the people to the edge of Shenyang and left it alone.

This is different from when the Mongols attacked the Southern Song Dynasty and drove the people to attack the city.

If even in this situation, Qin Bangping didn't open the city gate to save the people, then what would the Liao people think?

Third, when the matter spread, the most important thing was the opinion of the Liaodong generals in western and southern Liaoning.

They were already unhappy that Qin Bangping and Qi Jin, the two southern generals, had become the masters of Liaoshen, but if they knew about this matter, they would probably have been impeached one after another.

Behind them are 120,000 Liao soldiers, and this, coupled with the impeachment of the officials, is the pressure that Zhu Youzhen needs to face.

Therefore, Qin Bangping had no choice but to accept the people, and this incident also illustrated Nurhachi's means of attacking the heart.

"More than 20,000 people should be able to survive until July ......"

Thinking clearly about the relationship and the cause and effect of the matter, Zhu Youzhen could only sigh.

Although there were 20,000 more people, Shenyang's food was enough to last until July.

At present, as long as Shenyang is defended, in four months at most, the 16th Guards and the 12th Battalion will be able to initially form combat strength in the form of veterans leading new soldiers.

It may be that they will not be able to fight the Houjin Eight Banners head-on in the wilderness, but at least they will not be as disadvantageous as the guards and battalion soldiers, and they will immediately break and flee.

However, what needs to be worried now is whether Nurhachi will repeat his old tricks and continue to attack the stone fort and drive the people to consume Shenyang's food.

If this is the case, then I need to change my original plan to keep Liaodong.

"Your Highness, what is a siege point to send reinforcements?"

Just as Zhu Youzhen was thinking about things, Wang Chengen looked at the handwriting written by Zhu Youzhen before, and couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

Regarding this, Zhu Youzhen is also happy to explain:

"Encircle the point to send reinforcements, surround the enemy city, and use the enemy army in the city as bait to attract enemy troops from other places to reinforce the city."

"Subsequently, in the process of attraction, we will gradually give full play to the superiority of our own troops, and conduct high-mobility mobile warfare in order to defeat the other enemy forces that have been reinforced, and to achieve the method of annihilating and reinforcing the enemy, and reducing the total number of enemy troops in an area."

"The focus of encirclement and reinforcement is to send reinforcements, so the focus of troop deployment is the strength of reinforcements, and the siege of the city is auxiliary forces."

"But if the strength of the encirclement point is not enough, the enemy's main force will not reinforce it, and the reinforcement force will not be useful, so it is sometimes easy to confuse the encirclement reinforcement with the siege reinforcement."

"Because the two are very close, but the siege of the city and reinforcement must achieve two purposes, both to capture the city and annihilate the enemy, while the siege of the reinforcement has only one purpose, that is, to destroy the number of enemy troops as much as possible."

"However, this method can only be done by soldiers and horses with elite cavalry in their hands."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen also pondered for a few seconds, and then said:

"At present, my Ming elite cavalry is scarce, and the number of people in the country is only fifty or sixty thousand, so we rarely use such a method."

"On the contrary, Nurhachi, although most of the soldiers and horses in his hands are heavily armed foot soldiers, but because of the support of the barbarians, there are enough war horses, and foot soldiers can also be used to complete such a method."

"Then Your Highness means that Nurhachi is to annihilate my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong?" Although Wang Chengen is not very flexible, it is better because Zhu Youzhen explained it clearly enough.

"It's almost ......" Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly, then got up and walked to the window, frowning slightly.

It is not difficult to crack the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and there have been great men in later generations who have made this tactic very clear.

The purpose of this tactic is to mobilize the opponent's army, that is, to mobilize the opponent's army from other battlefields and fight on its own preset battlefield.

So the key to breaking the siege of the city and sending reinforcements is not to be mobilized by it, and even to mobilize the other party in turn.

In martial arts, this is called attacking the enemy and saving him, and the method of later generations is "you fight yours, I fight mine"

You can besiege my city, and I can besiege yours, and you can mobilize me, and I can mobilize you.

If neither side is mobilized, then the result is a game of chess, where the armies of both sides compete to inflict damage on the other side.

As for the reason why the siege reinforcements can be successful, and even repeatedly successful, it is often related to the fact that the teams that come to help come to the aid at different times in batches.

For example, in the battle of Sarhu, there was a serious problem with the coordination of the four divisions, which gave Nurhachi a perfect time difference.

Therefore, the key to cracking the siege and sending reinforcements is to concentrate your own forces and avoid adopting tactics to add fuel, so that the other party cannot easily eat the reinforcements, and naturally you can break the siege and send reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, because such cooperation is difficult in modern times, let alone now.

Therefore, if he wants to break the situation, he can only use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and the place where Nurhachi must save is Hetuala.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen turned around, walked to the desk, and took out the large map of the Northeast that he ordered the craftsman to make.

As this map unfolded, a map very close to the northeast of the later world appeared in front of Zhu Youzhen.

The outline of this map was drawn by him from his own memory, and not only that, but he also drew the Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, as well as Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, North Asia, West Asia and South Asia, and even other continents.

Although he couldn't remember the names and locations of places in this era, he could mark the locations based on the information of the Jinyiwei.

Although there is no guarantee of 100% accuracy, there is an 80% accuracy rate.

Therefore, at the same time as the map unfolded, Hetuala, hidden in the remnants of Changbai Mountain, appeared in his eyes.

This city, hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, if it is threatened by external forces and reaches the level that it cannot resist, then the old slave will inevitably withdraw his army.

However, the forces of Guangning, Shenyang, and Liaoyang in the east could not be moved, otherwise the balance of the tripartite situation would be broken.

But if you don't choose here, but choose other places, then the Kuandian Fort in the north of Zhenjiang Fort in the easternmost part of Liaodong has become a breakthrough.

From Kuandian to Hetuala, although the whole journey is a small road, and there is no way to travel a large team, the distance is only less than three hundred miles.

If the army marched fifty miles a day, it would have reached the south of Hetuara in six days.

Taking a sea boat from Tianjin to Zhenjiang, even if you don't prepare grain and grass, it takes at least five days to arrive.

But this is a little risky in that you need to cross the Bohai Sea, and you can't walk along the coast like Qi Yuanfu and them.

If you are walking along the coast, it will take at least 12 days to arrive.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, because this time plus the distance from Zhenjiang to Kuandian, and then to the distance from Kuandian to Hetuala, it would take at least twenty-five days.

Moreover, to carry out this task, it is also necessary to achieve a certain degree of cooperation, that is, the ability to retreat in an orderly manner at the corps level!

There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary, and once the coordination is not good and the various departments do not trust each other, then it is possible to turn the retreat into a big rout.

With such order and ability, Zhu Youzhen could only think of the seven guards and one battalion that had just undergone training such as Zhengbu and running-in for more than half a year.

But now that the Seven Guards and One Battalion have been split, if they are regrouped, I am afraid it will take a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists, but after a few seconds, a flash of inspiration flashed.

"I don't need to really fight Hetuala, I just need to let the old slave know that I'm going to fight Hetuala!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen had a way.

He looked up at Wang Chengen and said, "Tell Sun Yingyuan and Man Gui to transfer Teng Xiangwei, Yingyangwei, Shenwuwei, and Wuxiangwei to Tianjin, and then transfer Jin Wuwei and Shence Wei from the Yanshan camp to Tianjin." ”

"Finally, transfer the Xiao cavalry guards in the capital to Tianjin."

"Then I will ask the imperial brother for me to allocate 120,000 stone of grain to Tianjin, and on the fifteenth day of the next month, I will depart from Tianjin and go to Zhenjiang by sea."

"In addition, please ask Yuan Keli, the governor of Shandong, to board the naval warship and go to Tianjin Wei, and transport the seven guards and horses across the sea to Zhenjiang on the first day of the fifth month."

"All the new armor stomachs from the armor factory will be transferred to Tianjin first, for the use of the people who have not yet changed their armor in the seven guards."

"Your Highness...... Are you going to send troops across the sea to Zhenjiang to aid Liao? Wang Chengen is not a fool, so he can naturally hear Zhu Youzhen's thoughts.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and then said: "Order Sun Yingyuan to command the Seven Guards and Horses, go north from Zhenjiang to Kuandian, and then go north to attack Hetuala." ”

Seven guards and horses, nearly 40,000 people, if you add one-half of the auxiliaries, it is 60,000 people.

60,000 people coerced Hetuala, this is simply digging the roots of the old slave!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen said to Wang Chengen: "Why are you still stunned? Go for the notification! ”

"This ...... But this ...... Your Highness ......" Wang Chengen said in a hesitant manner:

"The total number of veterans of these seven guards is only more than 16,000, and the other 20,000 people are all new soldiers who have been in the army for less than a month."

"I'm not asking them to go ...... now" Zhu Youzhen frowned: "I only set off in May, and there is still a month and a half, besides, ...... Forget it, anyway, I won't harm them, tell Sun Yingyuan, just lead the troops to Liaodong. ”

"As for the imperial brother, I will give him a handwritten letter, and he will know after reading it."

"The slave and maid received the order...... Seeing that Zhu Youzhen could not be persuaded to do things, Wang Chengen could only do things honestly.

It's just that after he left, Zhu Youzhen chuckled at the corner of his mouth, hummed a little song, and wrote a handwritten handbook himself.

When the ink of his handwriting dried, Jinyiwei sent his handwritten book to the capital and delivered it to Zhu Youxiao's hands before dusk.

"This kid ......"

In front of the imperial eucalyptus, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and looked at the handwriting, then raised his head and said:

"Loyal and virtuous, drafted the holy decree, and Sun Yingyuan was the general soldier of Tianjin, leading Teng Xiangwei, Yingyangwei, Shenwuwei, Wuxiangwei, Jinwuwei and Shence Wei, as well as Xiaocai Wei to Tianjin."

"Then transfer a sufficient number of cloth armor, skulls, weapons, mandarin duck jackets, and cloth shoes from the Ministry of Industry and the armor factory to Tianjin."

"Taicang transferred 260,000 taels of silver, 120,000 stone rice, 30,000 catties of vinegar, 10,000 catties of salt, and 30,000 catties of pickles to Tianjin, and handed them over to Sun Yingyuan."

"Taifu Temple transferred 6,000 horses, and 3,000 military horses were handed over to Sun Yingyuan."

"In the end, the sailors were transferred to help transport the grain, and they were ordered to arrive in Tianjin on the 10th day of April and set off on the 15th."

Zhu Youxiao's royal order, Wei Zhongxian just wanted to make peace, but Wang An said:

"Hooray, I'm afraid that the household department and the military department will not agree to ......"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, while Wang An said:

"At present, the household department and the military department are ready to send the Xuanfu general army ......"

"Dismissed!" Zhu Youxiao frowned and scolded:

"I have my own considerations, and the matter of Xuanfu's aid to Liao has been put on hold for the time being!"

"It will be drafted according to my will, if it is rejected by the cabinet and the six sections, I will directly issue a decree to Sun Yingyuan, and then transfer 400,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury to him!"

Since discovering that he has military power and cronies, Zhu Youxiao's waist has become stiffer and harder.

He dared to do what his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father did not dare to do, and he dared to make a holy decree that they did not dare to make.

"Slave maid takes orders......" Hearing Zhu Youxiao's tough words, Wang An honestly retreated, probably going to draft the holy decree.

However, as Wang An said, when the holy decree was sent to the cabinet, Liu Yixiu, the current deputy assistant to the cabinet, was stunned at first, and then shouted softly: "Nonsense! ”

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Liu Yixie's words, another cabinet minister, Shi Jikai, looked at his side.

"Long live the seven guards who have just been training for a month to be stationed in Tianjin, this posture looks like they want to aid Liao!"

"Aid Liao?" Hearing this, Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the military department under the hall, raised his head and said in disbelief:

"Tune the seven guards? Which Seven Guards? Is it the old team that formed the Seven Guards and One Battalion, or is it ......"

"It's the new seven guards, the old pawns are only fifteen or six, and the new pawns are more than 20,000!" Liu Yixiao was very angry, and even thought in his heart that the emperor was probably taking war as a child's play.

Fortunately, the person who sat in the class today was Yang Lian, and after he heard this, he explained to Zhu Youxiao:

"Banzai's will on side affairs is mostly applied for after consideration by the Fifth Highness, and this time should be no exception."

"Liu Gechen can take a look, is there a time to go to Liaodong written on the holy decree?"

"Huh?" Hearing Yang Lian's words, Liu Yixian frowned and looked down at the Holy Decree, and then saw the time when the grain was transported on April 15 and the soldiers and horses were transferred on the first day of May.

"On the first day of May, although I was given an extra month and a half, this time ......" Liu Yixiao still hesitated.

"Liu Gechen rest assured, His Royal Highness the Fifth has always known the soldiers, and he will not let them go for no reason." Yang Lian used Zhu Youzhen's words to prevaricate Liu Yixie.

Although he didn't know what tricks Zhu Youzhen was doing, judging from Zhu Youxiao's training and his previous control of the battle situation, he could not be analyzed by an eleven-year-old boy.

Zhu Youzhen must have his own considerations, and Yang Lian chooses to believe him.

"Alas......" Hearing Yang Lian's words, Liu Yixiao sighed, and could only put pen to paper.

The cabinet agreed, and the military department did not dare to refuse.

The reason is very simple, Sun Ruyou and Fang Congzhe have returned to their hometowns, and the five parties of Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun, and Kunming, the current forces are no longer good.

Before Ye Xianggao rushed to the capital to serve as the first assistant, they could only clamp their tails and be people.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhu Youxiao, Wang An, and even Zhu Youzhen, a holy decree that would not be passed was actually passed in this way and sent to Sun Yingyuan's hands.

"I'm getting more and more incomprehensible about this situation......

Looking at the holy decree in his hand, Sun Yingyuan smacked his mouth a few times, and then couldn't help but feel empty.

He has never commanded tens of thousands of people, even if he trains the Seven Guards and One Battalion in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, he is also training with Man Gui, and now he is alone, and he must not mess up......

Taking a deep breath, Sun Yingyuan used the Holy Decree to mobilize the Xiao Cavalry Guard, went to Taicang and the Ministry of Industry, the Armor Factory, and the Taifu Temple, and transported all kinds of materials on the Holy Decree back to the Xiao Cavalry Guard Barracks outside the city.

The next day, he began to recruit people and go to Liaodong as auxiliaries.

However, when the people heard that they were going to Liaodong, they all shook their heads like rattles.

There was no way, Sun Yingyuan could only set his target in the north, recruited more than 20,000 auxiliaries in Qinghedian and Hongqiao, and then embarked on the road to Tianjin.

Not only him, but the soldiers and horses of the other six guards also began to move south and east, and their goals were all aimed at Tianjin.

At the same time, a civil servant who had been in Shandong for three months also got an order from the Ministry of War.

At this moment, he was sitting in the governor's yamen of Jinan Mansion, holding the order of the military department in his hand, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was not good-looking.

To be honest, he is not outstanding, if you want to pick out a little, you can only say that he looks thin and has a little bit of a clean official.

However, if people who know him well, they will not say that he has a little bit of a clean official appearance, but will say that he himself is a clean official, and he is still a capable minister!

Yuan Keli, who was very famous during the Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen years, was born in Suizhou, Guide Prefecture, Henan.

His father lived in poverty, but he tried his best to teach Yuan Keli to gain fame and serve the country loyally.

In the seventeenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, with the great ambition of changing the atmosphere of the world, Yuan Keli, who was 28 years old at the time, was admitted to the Jinshi and was appointed as the governor of Suzhou Prefecture in Nanzhili two years later.

At this time, Yuan Keli, who has entered the year of establishment, is strong-blooded, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

At that time, Suzhou was the hometown of Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, the first assistant of the dynasty, and the background was not generally complicated, and the officials who came here to take up their posts were all walking on thin ice.

Yuan Keli's teacher Lu Shusheng was very aware of the complexity of Jiangnan officialdom, so he was very worried about Yuan Keli's future, and reminded him not to offend the civil forces in Jiangnan.

As a result, Yuan Keli was not afraid of power, and he didn't care about the identity of the other party when dealing with the case, even if the other party had a relationship with Shen Shixing, he would still do it.

This kind of behavior made Yuan Keli famous, and his ability was more than that.

However, everything changed after his impeachment of Shen Yiyi, he was deposed, and the ministers of the DPRK and China continued to avenge Yuan Keli for more than a decade.

He was no longer ready to go out, but the Liao incident revived, and Zhu Youxiao gave him the official position of governor of Shandong, so he took office and made a lot of achievements in three months.

First of all, the Confucian Mansion invaded the people's land, and after he knew about it, Yuan Keli immediately ordered someone to take down the head of the Confucian government's occupation of the people's land, and after the other party was imprisoned, the people's land was returned to the people.

Later, he found that the water conservancy project in Shandong had not been repaired for many years, and there were still many people who had no land and had nothing to do all day.

Therefore, he took out the 260,000 taels of silver left in Shandong and spent 100,000 taels to start building water conservancy.

For the remaining 160,000 taels, he first checked the soldiers and horses of the three battalions of Jimo, Dengzhou, and Wendeng, and then recruited new soldiers to replenish them, and soon restored the three battalions to 9,000 people.

After that, he spent a lot of money, and according to the instructions of the holy decree when Zhu Youxiao appointed him as an official, he established the Denglai Naval Division and let people start building ships.

These things were all things that he had already started to do in the first month of the first year of the Apocalypse, and when the time came, the sailor had already launched four lucky ships with 1,200 materials.

No, the ship was built, and the sailors did not use it for a few days, and the decree came down.

"Governor, this ...... Really want to transfer a ship to Tianjin? ”

Standing next to Yuan Keli, one of his staff members asked cautiously.

However, Yuan Keli closed the holy decree:

"Since it is a long live transfer of troops, I will do it, I just hope that the Seven Guards and Horses can make contributions in Liaodong, not send a stomach to the old slave."

Yuan Keli's words are equivalent to saying that he doesn't believe that the Seven Guards Horse, who has only been reorganized and trained for a month and a half, can have combat power.

If it was the soldiers of the Seven Guards and One Battalion under Zhu Youzhen before, Yuan Keli might still take a look at it.

After all, he also learned from other Donglin Wenchen about the immovable demeanor of the Seven Guards and One Battalion.

But for now, even if it is the first day of May, the total time will only add up to three months.

After three months of training, what can a new pawn do after arriving in Liaodong?

Yuan Keli shook his head, and he was very puzzled by the practice of Banzai, and even more puzzled whether this order was issued at the instigation of His Royal Highness the Fifth Dynasty.

"This holy decree, if the Fifth Highness instigates the Long Live Decree, then the reputation of the Fifth Highness Zhibing will probably be ruined."

The staff shook their heads regretfully, and also said that both they and Sun Yingyuan and others were curious.

Without him, this order is really like giving someone a head.

Compared with Zhu Youzhen's previous attack on Jiangnan and the establishment of the southern field of the Imperial Horse Prison, or the judgment of the situation in Liaodong, or Zhu Youzhen's dismissal of the 48th Wei and 6 Institutes, there is a world of difference from this order.

It's as if the soldier immortal Han Xin had a clever plan, but he was suddenly defeated by an unknown young general, which made people lose their eyes.

Thinking of this, Yuan Keli stood up, sighed and said:

"I just hope that this Liao incident can be passed safely, as long as Shenyang holds on until winter, the old slave can only retreat."

"At that time, even if the Fifth Highness buries these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, at least Liaodong can still be preserved, and Daming can still suppress the old slaves."

After that, Yuan Keli sighed and returned to the backyard of the governor's mansion.

There is more than one person like him, and it is not only staged in one place......
