Chapter 203: The full lineup of the late Ming Dynasty

The time entered June, when the entire Ming Dynasty was mobilized, its hidden war potential exploded in full force.

Sun Chuanting and more than 30 other generals arrived in Guangning City on the eve of the first day of the sixth lunar month, and their arrival would also announce the countdown to the battle for the recovery of Liaodong.

More than 146,000 regular soldiers arrived in Tianjin 10 days ago, and then began to board ships and rush to various parts of eastern Liaodong.

The auxiliaries of the accompanying army also took sea ships together and went to Gaizhou, Kuandian and other places.

The 1,000 300-material grain ships, 300 1,000-material grain ships, and more than 200 3,000-material, 6,000-material, and even 9,000-material merchant ships were all recruited and transported.

For a time, the whole north was turbulent, and under such turmoil, Zhu Youzhen met with the commanders of the various ministries he recruited in the Guangning Jingluo Mansion......

During the two years of counterinsurgency, Sun Chuanting, Wu Aheng, Yang Wenyue, Hong Chengchou and others have all tanned a lot and become a lot stronger.

In the hall of the Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion, there are hundreds of chairs, all of which are the generals of each battalion, the commanders of each guard, and the general soldiers of each department

Sitting on the main seat are the King of Qi and Zhu Youzhen, who are the general managers of Fuliao.

On Zhu Youzhen's left and right, it was Sun Yingyuan, who commanded the Three Guards Army, and Cao Wenzhao, who commanded the three battalions of Duogan.

The two of them are like King Kong on the left and right, guarding Zhu Youzhen, and the two on the left and right under Zhu Youzhen are Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo, and Yuan Yingtai, one of the political envoys of Liaodong.

Next to Yuan Yingtai is Sun Chengzong, who is also a political envoy.

Sun Chengzong's six people were Qi Jin, the chief soldier of Liaoyang, Qin Bangping, the chief soldier of Shenyang, Qin Liangyu, the wife of Zhengyipin, Ma Xianglin, the chief soldier of Zunyi, Qin Minping, the chief soldier of Zhenjiang, and Qin Banghan, the chief soldier of Jinzhou.

As for You Shigong, Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi Yuanbi and other five people stayed in Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Zhenjiang.

As for the left head and Xiong Tingbi down, there are the same six rows of chairs, and the people sitting on the chairs are Daning General Soldier Man Gui, Kaiyuan General Soldier He Shixian, Aid Liao General Soldier Sun Chuanting, Aid Liao General Soldier Hong Chengchou, Aid Liao General Soldier Wu Aheng, Aid Liao General Soldier Yang Wenyue......

It is not difficult to see from the official positions that the imperial court has not yet decided on the official positions of some of them.

The reason is very simple, that is, the battle of Fuliao is about to start, rather than canonizing now, it is better to wait for the war to end, and after Zhu Youzhen returns to the capital, he will be canonized.

Zhu Youzhen knew everyone in the hall very well, but for most of them, Zhu Youzhen was very unfamiliar.

Although they all knew that Zhu Youzhen had defeated the Bayo tribe, set up the Daning Sanwei outside the Great Wall, made the Karaqin tribe submit through trade, and crushed the rebels of the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect internally.

But in any case, these exploits can hardly hide his age.

In terms of merit, although Zhu Youzhen is not as good as the generals, don't forget that the credit that the generals can get is based on his transfer.

When Zhu Youzhen did not mobilize troops and horses to the southwest, no one believed that Yu Chongming would rebel.

However, the fact is that he not only rebelled, but also succeeded in leading the Tusi in the southwest to rebel together.

At present, the rebellion still shows no sign of ending, and perhaps Zhu Xieyuan still needs to be busy in Guinan for a while.

The generals were silent, all because they didn't know how to speak, and Zhu Youzhen, as the general manager of Fuliao, can be said to have set a precedent.

If it is said that the children of the Ming Dynasty, the prince, and the emperor led the troops, it is not without precedent, whether it is the king of the Ming Dynasty, or Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Houzhao later, they are all examples.

In terms of age, Zhu Zhanji was taken by Zhu Di at the age of thirteen to conquer the north and south, and at the age of fifteen, he personally led the iron cavalry to pursue the northern captives, which is already a representative of a heroic boy.

But if you talk about the level of position, Zhu Wenzheng is undoubtedly a model for the sect.

When Zhu Wenzheng followed his mother to his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang, he was only a teenager, but he was brave and good at fighting, so that the generals of the army did not dare to underestimate him.

Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to attack Jiqing (Nanjing), Zhu Wenzheng took the lead, won Jiqing at the age of 20, and was promoted to the Privy Council for his military exploits.

Five years later, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Privy Council to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and appointed Zhu Wenzheng, a fellow member of the Privy Council, as the Metropolitan Governor to control the Chinese and foreign military, and Zhu Wenzheng was only 25 years old at this time.

In contrast, when Zhu Di was twenty-five years old, he only commanded more than 10,000 troops and trained in Beiping.

However, this time is good, Zhu Wenzheng's record is about to be surpassed by Zhu Youzhen......

"The sand table is here, you can speak freely if you have any ideas."

In the hall, Zhu Youzhen took the initiative to speak, and did not despise the generals because of his past achievements, but humbly accepted advice.

To be honest, he didn't think that with his current level, he would be able to decide the direction of such a big battle.

There were 400,000 soldiers on both sides of the Ming and Jin sides, and such a scale is also a page worthy of strong ink in the entire military history.

Zhu Youzhen used to command hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the south and north, but it was a remote command, and the actual commanders were Zhu Xieyuan and Xiong Tingbi.

Now that it is practical, he can put forward opinions and listen to opinions, but he cannot insist on doing his own thing.

Therefore, when he glanced at the people in the hall, it was Xiong Tingbi who took the lead in speaking:

"As far as I can see, the heavy troops should be placed in Shenyang and divided into two roads."

"Attack Tieling and Kaiyuan all the way, recover the Great Wall of Liaodong in the north, and go east along the Hunhe River to recover Fushun."

"If we can recover Salhu City on this basis, then it will be enough to severely damage the old slave."

"As for the two roads of Liaoyang and Kuandian, with the terrain of the high mountains and dense forests in the east and the rugged areas of the roads, we should still fight steadily and steadily, and use five-pound cannons to gnaw down the stone forts built one by one."

"At present, Liaoshen and Zhenjiang have abundant military food, even if they fight for a year, they have capital, and the old slave can never afford it."

Xiong Tingbi's words were here, and he had actually explained the tactics in great detail, so everyone couldn't help but nod in approval.

Zhu Youzhen also knows that this is the safest and most secure tactic, after all, the flying dragon rides the face game, and you can win by fighting hard and dumbly, so there is really no need to go too risky into Hetuala.

"After a while, the lower official has a question......

Suddenly, someone spoke, and Zhu Youzhen and Xiong Tingbi, as well as everyone looked over, and what they saw was Hong Chengchou, who was making a fuss.

"Mr. Hong said that he had doubts." Zhu Youzhen is very concerned about Hong Chengchou's opinion, after all, aside from those things after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou's ability in history is definitely at the level of the top three in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first.

Lu Xiangsheng died early in battle, Yuan Keli was also refrigerated, and Sun Chuanting was imprisoned......

The potential of these people has not been brought into play, and the historical record is naturally not as beautiful as Hong Chengchou's.

"The subordinate thinks that with the old slave's previous method of using troops, he may use light cavalry to go around the mountain road, and take advantage of the arrival of our army's artillery to the front line, and make a detour in the rear to disrupt the layout of our army."

Hong Chengchou accurately said that Nurhachi might implement a tactic of avoiding and not fighting against the Ming artillery, and once this tactic was proposed, everyone was vigilant.

Only Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Youzhen, they had long guessed that Nurhachi might do this, so they also made preparations early.

Zhu Youzhen answered Hong Chengchou's questions and said:

"When the war started, the Four Cavalry Guards would always be stationed in Quang Ninh, and once they found that Jianyu rode into our Liao land on a bypass, they would run overnight and encircle and suppress this army with garrisons from all over the country."

"In addition, the grain routes of Liaoyang, Shenyang and other roads that are most likely to be disrupted will go with the army by water, and once the situation is not good, the artillery on the grain ship will open fire, so don't worry."

"If that's the case, then there's no doubt about it." Hong Chengchou heard the arrangement of Zhu Youzhen and Xiong Tingbi, and also withdrew his hand.

"Still have questions?" Zhu Youzhen glanced at everyone and asked, but no one answered this inquiry.

To put it bluntly, it is because the tactics of this battle are very simple, because every soldier who comes out is the main force, and it is the number that Nurhachi can't eat in one go.

So no one has an opinion at all, and Zhu Youzhen saw this scene and said the route he and Xiong Tingbi reformulated:

"The battle of Fuliao is divided into four roads, Shenyang occupies two roads, and Daning can't defend it."

"The nine battalions of the Zhejiang soldiers are under the command of General Qi Jinlao, the nine battalions of Shenyang are under the command of Xiong Jingluo, and the six battalions of the Liao soldiers are under the command of He Shixian's general army, and the twenty-four battalions are stationed outside the north city of Shenyang......"

"In addition, Yang Wenyue's general army headquarters, Wu Aheng's general army headquarters and other eleven battalions are also stationed outside the northern city of Shenyang, this road is the first road, under the general leadership of Xiong Jinglu, the northern expedition to the Pu River, the railway, the reopening of the original, the record of 35 battalions, 106,000 people."

"The second way, by Sun Chuanting's general army to control the headquarters, control Sun Yingyuan's general army headquarters, Cao Wenzhao's general army headquarters, remember the three guards and thirteen battalions, more than 56,000 people, set out from Shenyang East, break Fushun, wait for the opportunity to recover Salhu, if it cannot be recovered, do not force it."

"The third route of soldiers and horses, by Hong Chengchou General Army under the command of the headquarters, control the six battalions of You Shigong's General Army Headquarters, Ma Xianglin's General Army Headquarters four battalions, a total of 19 battalions, more than 57,000 people, take the Liaoyang Taizi River waterway to the east, recover Qinghe Fort, and join the Yaque Pass."

"Fourth Road Soldiers and Horses...... Speaking of this road of soldiers and horses, Zhu Youzhen looked at Qin Liangyu, who was sitting on a chair, five feet two or three inches tall, and had a well-proportioned body.

Although she is nearly fifty years old, she can still see that she is the kind of person who was heroic when she was young.

"Old Madam Qin, this Fourth Road soldier and horse, I want you to rule it with Old General Qin Bangping, what do you think?"

Zhu Youzhen used the self-title of "I" to express closeness, and even used the title of respect like you.

Such a posture made Qin Liangyu a little restless, and hurriedly got up and saluted in return:

"Your Highness arranged, how could the old woman be unconvinced? The brother and Jianyu have been facing each other for two years, so they are naturally more familiar than the old woman, and the soldiers and horses of the fourth road are still under the control of the brother. ”

Qin Liangyu was not polite, but she felt that it should have been arranged like this.

Zhu Youzhen saw her serious appearance and understood that this was not a joke, so he said to Qin Bangping:

"Old General Qin, the fourth road, by Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qin Minping three generals of the headquarters of the Liaodong seven battalions, as well as the old general's headquarters two battalions of Sichuan soldiers, the old lady Qin's six battalions of Sichuan soldiers, the fifteenth battalion soldiers, more than 45,000 people, go north to Kuandian, and join the third route soldiers at Yaque Pass."

"The last general commands!" Qin Bangping got up and solemnly bowed, while the other generals also got up and shook when they heard this.

As a result, the four-way army of soldiers and horses, a total of 3 guards and 82 battalions, and more than 265,000 soldiers and horses was formed.

Behind them, there were also the ten battalions of Liaodong, the three guards of Daning and the four cavalry guards to protect the rear, a total of nearly 70,000 soldiers and horses.

However, this is a transfer of troops and horses, so it will not be discussed.

"People from all walks of life, report it after you have calculated it."

Zhu Youzhen continued to speak, and this is the big head.

At present, the population of Liaodong has exceeded 2 million after the people of Henan Province have moved in, and most of them do not have their own arable land.

Zhu Youzhen has even figured out how to recruit people at the lowest cost.

Naturally, this price cannot be forced labor, but ......

"Recruit people's husbands, in addition to the rice of the disaster victims every day, another three catties of rice will be issued, and then the disaster victims will come to recruit people's husbands, and after laying Tieling and other places, one person will be given three acres of cultivated land."

As soon as Zhu Youzhen spoke, everyone's hearts tightened.

This is a big deal, a real hair, and they all know why Zhu Youzhen dares to make such a hair.

Very simply, the Tang cavalry of the Ming army had already found out about the forced relocation of the Han people in Fushun, Puhe and other places.

Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land in these two places alone, which can be distributed to nearly 100,000 people.

In terms of the current means of the old slave's migration, it cannot be ruled out that he will move the people of Tieling and Kaiyuan to the rear in the future.

Where is this rear? Zhu Youzhen didn't know, but he knew which way this guy was going.

It's just that this matter can't be said, so Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Do you still have something to understand?" ”

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth to ask, and the generals, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to speak.

"In that case, then ......"

"Ahem......"

Zhu Youzhen was about to say that the meeting would be dismissed, but he didn't want to sit in the back row, and a general suddenly coughed, and Zhu Youzhen and everyone also looked at him.

This general was strong, and when everyone looked at him, he still couldn't stop hiccups, and his face turned red.

"Wang Pet! This is to discuss the resumption of the Liao war, if you want to burp, go out! ”

Lu Qin, the chief soldier of Taiyuan in the crowd, frowned and spoke, and he could see that this Wang Pet was his person.

Wang Pet was scolded, and immediately knelt down on one knee, and while making a gesture, he hiccuped and said:

"Your Highness...... Belch...... Weekend...... Belch...... The last general ate too many pastries and choked. ”

"Hahahaha......" Hearing Wang Chong's words, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing, and the generals also snickered.

Lu Qin also looked embarrassed, and Wang Zhong was about to choke to death.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen picked up his tea, got up and walked in front of Wang Pet, and handed out the tea with one hand:

"Drink, don't let others say, the generals of Fuliao don't have water to drink."

"Thank you...... His Royal Highness Xie ......" Wang Chong thanked him hurriedly, then took the tea and drank it all, and only calmed down his breath after a while.

When Zhu Youzhen saw him like this, he didn't blame him, but patted him on the shoulder, and then said to everyone:

"Okay, the discussion is over, let's all step down, Mangui, you stay."

Zhu Youzhen's words, the discerning people knew that there was something to explain to Man Gui, but they were not good at staying to listen, so everyone saluted in return, and after singing His Royal Highness's thousand years old, they withdrew from the hall.

Zhu Youzhen watched them exit the hall, and then smiled at Man Gui:

"How? I didn't arrange things for you, depressed? ”

"If you want to say that you are not depressed, it is a fake ......" A bitter smile appeared on Man Guiao's dark face, and Zhu Youzhen also smiled when he saw this:

"I didn't let you participate in the Battle of Fuliao because I had more important things for you to do."

After that, Zhu Youzhen pointed to the Kaiyuan Road north of Tieling:

"Beizhen Fusi has investigated the news, and the old slave is currently in Wuye Wuwei Tuntian, thinking that he is preparing to build Wuye Wuwei into the second Hetuala."

"In this way, the old slave will inevitably move more than 100,000 Han people from Tieling Kaiyuan and other places to this place, and if they go out of the grassland of the Horqin Department at that time, then I need you to lead the iron cavalry to pursue."

"From Daning?" Man Gui's eyes lit up, and his heart itched, after all, he had been resting for almost three years.

"No, from Quang Ninh!" Zhu Youzhen measured the sand table with his hand and said:

"The distance from Kaiyuan to Wuyewuwei is five hundred and twenty miles, and if they move the people, they will walk at most fifty miles a day."

"You and I are in Guangning, if they really move the people, then even if Guangning is a thousand miles away from Wuyewuwei, but at the moment, the four cavalry guards and the Daning Sanwei iron cavalry in your hands, more than 30,000 iron cavalry are all one person, four horses and one horse."

"In terms of horse speed, there is no need to be as fast as the last attack on Bayo, you only need to attack and kill Xiang Wuye Wuwei within ten days, and it is best to take back the people of Liaodong."

"If these people are relocated to Wuyewuwei, I am afraid that more than 100,000 people will not be able to survive even 10,000 people in the end."

Zhu Youzhen's words made Man Gui's heart sink, and he immediately said with a heavy chin:

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general knows!"

Man Gui's reaction made Zhu Youzhen a little satisfied, he patted Man Gui's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Keeping you down, the main reason is that you will be discouraged by thinking that this battle is without you, now that you know everything, you should prepare well, eat more during this time, don't rush back like last time, thin into a bamboo pole."

"Hehe, that's not going to happen." Man Gui grinned, and then made a gesture to retire, and Zhu Youzhen also waved his hand to signal him to step down.

Seeing this, Man Gui also turned to leave, and Zhu Youzhen looked at his back, sighed, and looked up at the sky outside the courtyard of Jingluo Mansion:

"It's finally time to start ......"

——————

"Hurry up!"

"Smack-"

Tieling, when Zhu Youzhen still thought that Nurhachi would wait for the autumn harvest to harvest the grain, and then move the people, but he didn't want Nurhachi to choose to leave the soldiers to harvest, and drove most of the people to the outside of the pass.

The destination where they were driven away was also the Wuye Wuwei that Beizhen Fusi had discovered.

Several of the captives took four or five women with them, two of whom wept incessantly, while two of the younger ones were unimpressed and laughed freely.

Two of the Jianyu caught up with them and wanted to rob the women, so that several Jianyu fought against each other and tore each other......

"Don't fight for women!"

The behavior of several Jianyu was seen by a general, who whipped several people on the backs with a horsewhip, and several people nodded frantically like chickens pecking at rice.

But after the general left, one of the builders carried a young woman to the tree and Yehe, and the other two daughters were also raped, the old woman cried and begged not to, and the two young women also cried and wailed.

But even so, it can't stop the strength of the captive, and it can't break away after all.

Seeing this, the Jianyu who followed behind them smiled and surrounded them, and in a short time they gathered more than a dozen Jianlu, and pulled several people from among the women who drove them away.

Half an hour passed, and Jian Yu slowly left this place, and after another half an hour, only a dozen or so female corpses were left on the side of the road......

Seeing this, the Han people passing by sighed and hid their faces and sobbed......

It was just that while they were sobbing, the atrocities were smiling and discussing what the women had just died, as if such acts were commonplace for them.

Naturally, as they committed these atrocities, a general in red armor on a low hill in the distance took off his helmet, revealing his face hidden under it.

"How many acres of land have you reclaimed now......

This red-armored general is Dai Shan, and the person he asked about is naturally Amin who is responsible for reclamation.

In the face of Daishan's inquiry, Amin only felt bored, so he responded:

"120,000 acres have been reclaimed, but more than 20,000 people have died, which is a pity......"

The pity in Amin's mouth is that these people died too early and too quickly, and it would be better if they could cultivate more before they die.

"It's not bad, the stone fort in the north mountain has also been reclaimed more than 20,000 acres one after another."

"Not counting Kaiyuan and Tieling now, my Dajin has more than 700,000 acres of land."

Dai Shan didn't care about the life or death of the Han people, but just glanced at the Han people who were being driven and relocated:

"Wuye Wuwei is still a little unsafe, you take this batch of slaves back this time, remember not to use it too much."

"After reclaiming the Wuye Wuwei, you can try to move them north again to the Piercing Luwei, which is smoother than the Wuye Guard."

Dai Shan was explaining to Amin, but Amin frowned and said:

"Thorn Luwei is too far, there are still five hundred miles away from Wuye Wuwei, and when it comes to fighting the Ming Kingdom, it is not easy to mobilize grain and grass......"

"Call back?" Hearing Amin's words, Dai Shan frowned.

To be honest, he didn't think that Dajin could easily fight back to Liaodong, and even in his opinion, the most important thing to do at the moment was to move all the craftsmen of Hetuara to Wuyewuwei or Thorn Luwei.

Although the merchants in Liaodong could not move around, they still had other means to obtain some unimportant information, so Dai Shan also knew that the current Ming Dynasty was still continuing to transfer troops.

At present, there are enough soldiers and horses in Liaodong, almost three times that of Dajin, and in this situation, the Ming Dynasty is still continuing to transfer troops......

When he learned the news, Dai Shan felt an unprecedented pressure.

Being able to mobilize so many soldiers and horses can only show that Daming's "change" has been successful, and Dajin's advantage has gradually become smaller or even disappeared under the transfer of troops by the Ming army.

Small kiosk

Daishan didn't know what his Khan Amanurhachi thought, but judging by his intelligence, it was almost impossible to win this battle.

The Ming army prepared enough grain and grass and mobilized enough soldiers and horses.

Although Dai Shan did not know the specific plan of the Ming army, in his opinion, the railway and Kaiyuan must be the main direction of attack, otherwise his own Khan Ama would not let him move the women and children of Tieling and Kaiyuan in advance, leaving only men.

Leaving only men means that it needs to be harvested at the necessary moment.

Daiseon, a member of Daikin's family, knows that since trade with North Korea was cut off a few months ago, Daikin's grain has basically fluctuated up and down the red line.

The reason why there is still room for floating is also because Dajin took the path of Horqin and bought grain at a high price from Karaqin.

As for the money for the purchase of grain? Since they are not ready to enter Liaodong, then those Han gentry living in Dajin do not need to be compassionate.

It was the bloody silver found from them that helped Daikin survive until now.

It's just that now it seems that the Ming army is not even ready to give them the opportunity to harvest in autumn.

Looking at the posture of the troops, it is obvious that the troops will be moved before the autumn harvest begins, and if the Ming army wants to move troops before the autumn harvest, then all of Dakin's plans need to be overturned and restarted.

It's just that this plan has nothing to do with me, and I only need to be responsible for the relocation of women and children at the moment.

Thinking of this, Dai Shan exhaled a breath of turbidity, and clenched the reins of the horse in his hand, and murmured:

"After this battle, I don't know how many sons will survive......"
