Chapter 222: Upgrade Complete, Human Immortal Daoji!
"Your Majesty's order."
Tang Xiangjin said and did not explain much, in the military regulations of Daqi, unless it is a general who needs to participate in the operation, the military information cannot be leaked to other people, and the violator will be dealt with according to the military regulations.
This is also to ensure that the military information will not be discovered by the enemy, the cost of leaking military information is very great, this time the Jurchens are an excellent example, if it were not for Su Hao to order the news that the Jurchens still have a group of hidden masters to tell Sun Chengzong, the Ming army would have suffered heavy losses in this battle.
"Rest assured, the lower officials will definitely defend the Acropolis of Gaizhou, and the people are in the city."
Hearing this, Wang Lian didn't ask much, just nodded categorically, now there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Gaizhou Acropolis, plus in the past two years, the Gaizhou Acropolis has also expanded and increased a lot, and there is no problem in holding the Gaizhou Acropolis.
"Hmm."
Tang Xiangjin answered, and after arranging the work, he took more than 2,000 personal soldiers to Zhenjiang Fort by boat.
………
The capital city of Jinan.
In the Zichen Palace, Su Hao closed his eyes and practiced, refining his pure yang qi into wisps of human immortal martial arts, and the three natal paper figures on the side were burying their heads in reviewing the book.
At this time, Su Hao's dantian has changed greatly, and the five-colored brilliance revolves around a brilliance in the center of the dantian, and the five-colored brilliance is the unique mana of the human immortal martial arts.
While refining the pure yang qi in the dantian, Su Hao studied the meridians of his whole body, and he didn't know if he was still a human now, because at this time, his eight meridians and twelve meridians had completely disappeared, and only the dantian remained.
The mana of the Immortal Martial Dao is not like before, but wanders between the flesh and blood of the whole body, and every time the mana travels, he can feel that his physical body has become stronger, and now his physical body is no worse than those first-class realm horizontal martial artists.
What's more, he is not like those horizontal martial artists, who rely on external forces to squeeze the potential of the body, and when those horizontal martial artists reach old age, most of them will run out of oil and run out of lamps, resulting in all kinds of diseases, he can feel that his physical body is getting stronger at the same time, and his vitality is also getting stronger.
Thinking of this, Su Hao looked at the system panel:
Host: Su Hao
Identity: Emperor of Great Qi
Natal Exercises: [Human Immortal Martial Arts]
Spells: [Scattering Paper into Arms] [Paper Control Secret Technique] [Paper Man Rune Array] [Paper Man Tracing Technique] [Paper Armor Stomach Technique] [Paper Bird Technique] [Point Spirit General] [Paper Man Formation] [Demon Spirit Paper Armor] [Spirit Treasure Secret Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra] (not practiced)
Meta-mysticism: [Four Books and Five Classics] [Nine-Tailed White Fox View Thoughts] [Distraction] [Huangliang One Dream]
Martial Arts: [Pure Yang Wuji Gong] (not practiced) [Yang Yuan Jue] [Cloud Dragon Trifold] [Paper Knife]
Enlightenment point: 4464
This upgrade of the system is far beyond his imagination, it took half a year to upgrade, and there are also huge changes, not only is there no previous proficiency display, but even the Pure Yang Wuji Gong and the Spirit Treasure Secret Jade Emperor Heart Seal Sutra that he practiced before have turned black, showing that he cannot practice.
He also had some guesses about the reason why these two exercises became unpracticeable, and it was estimated that because his body had changed, he had become a physique that was only suitable for human immortal martial arts, which meant that he would not even have the possibility of changing cultivation in the future.
As for the disappearance of proficiency, he had tried it before, and now he wants to comprehend a spell, and he has directly comprehended the perfection realm of reaching the peak, of course, the consumption is the same, but there is no such staging situation as before.
This is a considerable loss for him, which means that he does not need to learn some skills that are not very important, because he will not be able to do it.
After thinking for a while, Su Hao closed his eyes again and concentrated on refining the remaining pure Yang Gang Qi, now the pure Yang Gang Qi in his body is less than one percent of the original, and there will be ten or twenty days at most, and the remaining Pure Yang Gang Qi will be refined to almost the end.
As for the Human Immortal Dao Ji, it had already been built when the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra and the Twelve Righteous Meridians in his body disappeared, and the essence of the Human Immortal Dao Ji was to change his physique into the exclusive physique of the Human Immortal Martial Dao.
………
Capital.
Qianqing Palace.
"Rubbish! Rubbish! ”
Zhu Youzhen's roar resounded throughout the palace, and all the palace maids and eunuchs held their breath, not even daring to breathe, for fear that they would be angered by Zhu Youzhen in a rage.
"Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body."
Below, Zhou Yanru, the head of the cabinet, said with relief.
"Now that the rogue in Shaanxi has spread to Shanxi, how can you let me be angry?"
Zhu Youzhen's face turned red, he asked Yang He to exterminate the rogues as the governor of the three sides a few years ago, in the past few years, Yang He's good news has continued, either to appease this gang of rogues, or to pacify the gang of rogues, but in the past few years, the rebellion in Shaanxi has not been quelled, but has intensified, and now it has caused most of Shanxi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what should I do in Shaanxi now?"
After calming down a little, Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth and asked, although Yang He has been ordered by him to be put in prison, but the rebellion in Shaanxi cannot be left unhandled, and now it is only a disaster for most of Shanxi, if it cannot be dealt with in time, it will not be long before it will affect Henan, and then it will be really chaotic.
Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren kept silent, now there is a big hole in Shaanxi, whoever is on the road is unlucky, in fact, Yang He is not wrong, because Yang He's set of methods of suppressing and appeasing and appeasing are common methods in the face of natural disasters and rebellions in the past dynasties.
However, Yang He forgot that the imperial court did not have any silver and food to provide disaster relief, and there were three or four hundred thousand people in Shaanxi who participated in the rebellion, and there were many people who did not participate.
The food needed by the victims alone is more than 3 million stones, and Shaanxi is far away, and it takes at least 7 or 8 million stones of grain to send grain over thousands of miles to barely enough for disaster relief.
With so much food, it is impossible to dismantle and sell the imperial court, so Yang He's appeasement has no meaning at all, press the gourd and scoop it up, unless the natural disaster disappears, there is no hope for counterinsurgency, and whoever goes is the same.
"Zhou Aiqing, who do you think should be sent to Shaanxi to preside over the overall situation?"
Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help frowning.
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen had named him, Zhou Yanru didn't dare to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he could only take a step forward and be silent for a long time before he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the situation in Shaanxi is too complicated, and the ministers of the DPRK and China do not understand it, so rashly sending the ministers of the DPRK and China over will only make a mess of the situation, so it is better to select the available materials from the officials who are countering the rebellion in Shaanxi and take over the counterinsurgency matters." ”
Although he also wanted to throw his opponent in Shaanxi into the big pit of Shaanxi, with his understanding of Zhu Youzhen, if the person he recommended could not make a result, then Zhu Youzhen would definitely be angry with him.
"Who does Zhou Aiqing think can take over?"
Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen's face softened slightly, and now he is becoming more and more impatient with the party fighting methods in the court, especially for Zhou Yanru and his ministers, but Zhou Yanru's suggestion is not mixed with too much selfishness.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the cabinet can draw up a list first, and then push it to the court tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yanru bowed and responded, he was not ready to trap people, but he didn't want to take the blame, this kind of thing was still pushed by the imperial court earlier, even if there was a problem, it would be everyone who would take the blame together.
"Then the cabinet will draw up the list first."
Zhu Youzhen said.
…
On the other side, on the battlefield of Liaodong at this time, Sun Chengzong still adhered to Yuan Chonghuan's tactics of advancing step by step and building more castles, and began to build castles at a distance of more than 100 miles between the Acropolis of Haizhou and Liaoyang City.
In the camp of the Ming army, Sun Chengzong looked at the sand table map on the table, his brows furrowed.
"Jinglu, now that we have the advantage, the Jurchens have retreated to Liaoyang City, why are Jingliu still sullen?"
Looking at Sun Chengzong, who was frowning, He Kegang couldn't help but wonder, now that the situation is very good, why did Sun Chengzong frown.
"The battle line is stretched too long."
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong sighed, pointed to the sand table and said: "There were a large number of castles on the Guangningwei side before, although there were more than 200 land, but there were 50,000 people in logistics, plus the cavalry of Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao, they could still defend against the Jurchens. ”
"But now there are more than 100 miles of battle front, and the terrain of the battle line from Liaoyang City to Haizhou Acropolis is vast, and the Jurchen cavalry is not easy to deal with."
It is difficult to hold this nearly 300-mile battle line, especially since the Jurchens have an absolute advantage in cavalry, Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao are definitely not the opponents of the nearly 100,000 cavalry of the Jurchens, once the cavalry suffers heavy losses, the back line of defense will be even more unstoppable.
"Jingluo, what should I do?"
Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, He Kegang also showed a sad face, the cavalry under the command of Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao was defeated by the Jurchens, and then Guangningwei was allowed to come and go freely by the Jurchens, which almost caused problems with the grain and grass on their side.
After that, it took Zu Dashou and Zhao Shujiao more than half a year to make up for the cavalry, and if they were defeated again this time, there would definitely be problems with the grain and grass on their side.
"This official has already asked the imperial court for a salary increase to train cavalry, and the others can only take one step at a time."
Sun Chengzong sighed, although he asked for a salary, he was not sure that the imperial court would agree, because he also knew that the imperial court really had no money, and the 200,000 troops supporting Liaodong now had exhausted the vitality of the imperial court.
………
Phoenix.
At this time, 80,000 troops gathered in Phoenix, and continuous military tents surrounded the entire Phoenix.
In the lobby, Tang Xiangjin and Luo Yi and many governors surrounded the sand table map.
Pan Ping arched his hand and said: "Governor, now Tongyuan Fort, Lianshan Pass, and Weining Camp have been taken, and then there is Fengji Fort, and after Fengji Fort, you will go outside Shenyang City." ”
"Old Tang, do you really want to fight Shenyang City?"
Looking at the twisted official road on the sand table, Luo Yi frowned, although there is an official road from Zhenjiang Fort to Shenyang City, but the distance is too far, more than four hundred miles away.
Although Daqi has opened up a lot of arable land in Liaodong in the past two years and harvested a lot of grain, it can't bear such consumption.
"This is His Majesty's order."
Tang Xiangjin glanced at Luo Yi and said: "Besides, Shenyang City is about whether we can gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, if the Ming army takes here and occupies the vast land on the side of Shenyang City, without logistics worries, it is impossible for us to gain a foothold in Liaodong." ”
The Ming Dynasty has been operating in Liaodong for more than two hundred years, and most of its energy has been in the plain area from Shenyang City to Jinzhou City, which has a large number of rivers and flat terrain.
In the past two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has opened up a large amount of arable land here, and the Jurchens can feed so many soldiers and horses, the main reason is that the large area of arable land, if the Ming Dynasty occupies it, then the grain that the Ming needs to transport from the customs will be greatly reduced.
At that time, Da Ming can use these grains to recruit more soldiers, Daqi's strength is not as good as Da Ming, and if Da Ming is relieved, Da Qi's trouble will be big.
Therefore, Su Hao decided to attack Shenyang City from the other side at this time, and wanted to occupy Shenyang City in advance, so Su Hao also transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses from Shandong to Liaodong again.
You must know that today's Great Qi is only 260,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are 130,000 soldiers and horses sent to Liaodong, and half of the troops are placed in Liaodong, which can be regarded as a big gamble.
After a pause, Tang Xiangjin looked at Jin Haowen of the Black Ice Platform on the side and asked, "Jin Qianhu, how is the situation over there in Daming?" ”
It has been nearly two months since the Acropolis of Haizhou was breached, and the Ming army should have taken action.
"Back to the governor, according to the spies' report, the Ming army has taken Dongsheng Fort, Changning Fort, and Changding Fort, and it seems that they want to open up new official roads along the side wall to transport grain and grass."
Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Jin Haowen replied.
"Monitor closely."
Hearing this, Tang Xiangjin's eyes narrowed slightly, the greater the pressure on the Jurchens from the Ming army, the greater the possibility that they would take Shenyang City.
"Lao Luo, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses to the Weining camp, and be responsible for reinforcing the Weining camp, at least to reach the height of the city wall of the Acropolis of Gaizhou."
After pondering for a long time, Tang Xiangjin continued: "At the same time, let people start to send grain and grass to Weining, at least hoard enough food for our 80,000 people for a year, and then it will be a tough battle!" ”
This time it is not only with the Jurchens, maybe with the Ming army, because it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to sit back and watch them occupy Shenyang City.
"Okay."
Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Luo Yi nodded, this time the main general will be Tang Xiangjin, and as a deputy general, he naturally has to obey orders.
…
Time passed day by day, although the speed of the Ming army's advance was slow, but it never stopped, and it took a full three months to build more than a dozen castles on the 100-mile distance from the Haizhou Acropolis to Liaoyang City, pushing the battle line to Liaoyang City.
At the same time, Tang Xiangjin also rushed to Fort Weining with the remaining 70,000 soldiers and horses.
For a time, the entire Liaodong was surging again!
