Chapter 159: Anyway, the field battle again
The Shuowang Dynasty meeting was over, and the relatives were trembling, and those who had dealings with Zhu Chunchen even returned to their homes to introspect. Under the surveillance of Dongchang Fanzi outside the mansion, it is good to recall what other rebellious remarks and actions Zhu Chunchen has.
If it is just a verbal deterrent, it is obviously not enough. The emperor was furious at the court meeting and directly removed Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, from the court.
Yangwu Marquis Xue Lian has a violent personality, is good at taking away people's wealth, and is quite notorious. With the emperor's eyes and ears, it is impossible to know just now.
But the emperor has always forbeared, and finally seized this opportunity to impose severe punishment, which undoubtedly had a stronger effect than verbal deterrence.
When Xue Lian cried and was dragged out of the hall by the guards, the relatives were so frightened that their faces turned white. The emperor's merciless handling really frightened them.
The news will soon spread to all parts of the country as it is published in the newspapers. Especially for the relatives living in Nanjing, it is also a loud alarm bell.
Don't think that you can sit back and relax by relying on the merits of your ancestors, although the emperor is young, he has learned some of the essence of Taizu.
In fact, Zhu Baba's killing of heroes is not a very uncommon thing in history. The so-called "generals can be abolished, and the country cannot die" is the best explanation for the feudal emperor's "rabbit dead dog cooking, bird bow hidden".
No matter how much credit you have and how high your skills are, as long as it is not conducive to the inheritance of the throne and the stability of the country, you are all people who can be killed.
Analyzed in this way, what is the current Xun Qi? It's already seven or eight generations later, no matter how meritorious the ancestors are, so many years have passed, can they still overdraft the court's preferential treatment of meritorious heroes?
The gentleman's ze, the fifth and beheaded. In terms of the regularity of inheritance, the blessings and blessings left by the ancestors to the descendants are almost consumed after seven or eight generations.
And this sentence also applies to Zhu Youxiao, the ancestral Jiangshan Sheji is no longer thriving when it was first built. In the situation of declining rivers and diseases, he can only rise up to reform and repeat the past glory of the Ming Dynasty.
Dumb Monarch, or Tyrant? It's nothing to Zhu Youxiao, what kind of posthumous name, close your eyes, what's the matter with him!
Of course, he still paid attention to the war in eastern and southwestern Liaodong. Constant victories are also the confidence of his promotion of reform; The increasing improvement of the military situation has also lowered the resistance to reform and reduced a lot of gossip.
Counting the days, Liu Xingzuo's anyway action in southern Liaoning is about to start. Whether it can succeed or not, and how much success will be obtained, Zhu Youxiao is very worried and looking forward to it.
Walking around in front of the sand table, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to fly to the front line and directly understand the actual situation. But in the end, he could only accept the ancient communication speed, smiled bitterly and walked to the window, looking into the distance.
A soft crisp laugh attracted the emperor's attention, and when he turned his gaze, it turned out that it was Li Chengcheng and Fan Xiaohui, two best friends, who were teasing a few kittens.
Beautiful women playing?! Zhu Youxiao smiled, lined with the red flowers and green trees in the palace, two young and beautiful women laughing, and a few hairballs crawling and meowing all over the ground, it was really a pleasing picture.
Li Chengcheng stopped his movements, took out a small telescope, and beckoned his good sisters to come and play.
Fan Xiaohui really got this novel toy for the first time, and after learning how to use it, she held the telescope and looked around, making exclamations from time to time.
No matter how good the telescope is, you can't see the battlefield in Liaodong! Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes and sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed through the emperor's mind. This telescope seems to be able to be used to increase the speed of communication, right?
......................... divider............................
The waves were constantly surging in, crashing against the reef of the cliffs, rolling up countless sprays and foam.
Liu Xingren raised his eyes to look at the sea, ignoring the mercury floating in the wind.
Today is the day when the agreed army arrives, and their Liu brothers raise their flags anyway. After a difficult day of worry, he finally waited for this day, and his mood became apprehensive.
In fact, it is said that it is to raise the flag anyway, and the Liu brothers' preparations are not sufficient. After the landing of the Ming army, the military operation was basically fully undertaken.
But when it comes to the probability of success, the Liu brothers think it is quite large.
The reason is very simple, people's minds have changed, the Liao people have suffered from the rule of Jiannu for a long time, even the Han soldiers, because of the drag of their families, and they have to work against their will.
It may be too much to say that it is a call to ascend and gather many responders. However, with tens of thousands of Ming troops lined up in front of them, coupled with the suppression and incitement of Liu Xingzuo and others, I believe that few diehards dare to resist.
As for the primary targets such as Li Yongfang's eldest son in Fuzhou City, they have already been seen to death, and they will be captured in one fell swoop just waiting to be launched.
Since the big plan to cover the three states of the sea cannot be implemented, it is also a great achievement to catch these big traitors, and Liu Xingzuo is very concerned.
"Brother Liu." With a greeting, a telescope was handed over, and Zhang Zhenben, the Jinyi guard, said with a smile: "Use this to see clearly." ”
Liu Xingren thanked him, took the binoculars, only looked at it for a while and then put it down, smiled at Zhang Zhenben with self-defeat, and said, "Let Brother Zhang smile." A certain was a little uneasy, but it can be seen that Brother Zhang is calm and calm, and he is not so nervous. ”
Zhang Zhenben smiled and said: "Human nature, how can you laugh?" After planning for so long, today is the time to see success or failure, and everyone will be a little apprehensive. ”
After a pause, Zhang Zhenben comforted again: "Brother Liu can see the sea, there are no waves, starting from Lushun, there will be no accidents in the army." ”
Liu Xingren really looked at the situation on the sea, as Zhang Zhenben said, the sky is beautiful, the wind and waves are not big, and his heart immediately let go of most of it.
It's just that Zhang Zhenben was shocked in his heart, realizing that he blurted out but was suspected of leaking secrets. The Ming army was going to land on a large scale, but the Liu brothers did not know that it was starting from Lushun.
The secrecy work in the Luda area was very perfect, and the two associations in Dengzhen and the two associations in Jinzhen, a total of 25,000 or 6,000 people, secretly assembled in the Luda area, but avoided the eyes and ears of Jiannu.
Most of the intelligence deficiencies on the Houjin side were caused by the naval blockade. The board was not allowed to go to the sea, and the brigade defense line was heavily defended, where did they find out the information on the movement of the Ming army?
Starting from Port Arthur and arriving at Changsheng Island, it can be seen from the map that it is a short distance to the shore. Even if it is a strong wind and waves, it will not have much impact.
Moreover, in order to cope with this anyway, the Dongjiang headquarters, the brigade Ming army, and even the Liaozhen people have already begun to take action to firmly contain the Eight Banners of Houjin.
In western Liaoning, after the Ming army first took the right garrison to build and consolidate the defensive position, thousands of cavalry went out to Guangning City to try to build a city defense.
Under the influence of fake newspapers and false news, Nurhachi did not dare to move, and while stepping up reconnaissance and spying, he commanded the four banners to deploy along the Liao River, preparing to meet the powerful combination of the elite Jialiao Town on the nine sides.
In Liaodong, one of Mao Wenlong's co-leaders with Chen Jisheng tentatively occupied Zhenjiang Fort. Without Huang Taiji paying attention, the army suddenly crossed the Yalu River and built a strong defensive position in one day and two nights.
Huang Taiji miscalculated, the Ming army took Zhenjiang Fort as the core, and the position built by him was not something he could capture with one banner.
Moreover, the formation of a position to defend the river is equivalent to stabilizing the guards of Zhenjiang and firmly laying a nail in the land of Liaodong.
With Zhenjiang as the base of the land, and then using the advantages of the naval division, the people of the Dongjiang headquarters can expand to the west and form a horn with the Ming army.
The Dongjiang Headquarters also sent a small team to go up the Yalu River to make an action to attack the Jiannu Nest, and the Zhenglan Banner was so immobile that it could not move.
Now, the Ming army of Luda is attacking northward, and there are confrontations with Daishan's two banners from time to time, and the battle situation is stuck in the Xinjin area.
As long as Fuzhou succeeds anyway, the landing Ming army can directly advance eastward and deploy defenses along the Shahe River to cut off the retreat route of Daishan's two banners.
Anyway, the successful plan is not limited to this, taking advantage of the fact that the Houjin departments are contained, the landing Ming army will also split a group, led by Liu Xingzuo, and go north to attack Gaizhou.
If people are clear-minded, Liu Xingzuo, as the chief military officer of the three guards in southern Liaoning, still has a good chance of persuading the Gaizhou Guards to defend and get another guard without a fight.
The whole plan was formulated in this way, using Fuzhou as a breakthrough to completely smash the deployment and defense line of Houjin. Of course, now even Cao Zhenghua, Liu Xingzuo and others don't know everything.
Liu Xingren suddenly raised his binoculars and looked at the sea. First there was a small black shadow, then it got bigger and bigger, and then I could see the flag on the ship clearly, it was the Ming army.
In the field of vision of Liu Xingren's slightly trembling telescope, countless ships jumped out of the sea level and sailed towards the shore in the wind and waves.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Liu Xingren handed the telescope back to Zhang Zhenben, his lips moving, both excited and a little nervous.
Zhang Zhenben nodded and said solemnly, "Brother Liu, please calm down." The army has arrived as scheduled, and it is already half of the success anyway. Next, blocking the news and acting as soon as possible is the top priority. ”
Liu Xingren nodded vigorously, waved his hand and called his cronies to the soldiers, gave orders one after another, and got busy nervously.
………………
The waves crashed against the side of the ship, turning into a chaotic splash that scattered in all directions.
Holding the binoculars, Zhang Keda, the chief soldier of Dengzhen, stood on the shaking boat, as if a nail had been nailed under his feet, and looked at the big island that appeared in the distance.
There are flags and soldiers on the island. But in the field of vision of the telescope, they were not flustered, and they did not have the movements and preparations to face the battle. Busy and busy, they are preparing to take the ship to land.
At this point, if you want to stop the landing of the army, you can't. But Zhang Keda knows the importance of having someone answer and block the news.
If this side lands, there are already people who fly to retaliate against the state, and then fly to report to Jiannu. It will be very difficult to achieve goals such as copying the back road of Jiannu and taking Gaizhou without a fight.
Therefore, Liu Xingzuo's role cannot be erased anyway, Zhang Keda also got Yuan Keli's advice, long live Liu Xingzuo very much, and asked him not to be arrogant and rude.
From Yuan Keli's voiceover, Zhang Keda also guessed that the emperor wanted to make a fuss about Liu Xingzuo. If it were him, he would probably do the same.
The bigger Liu Xingzuo's trouble is anyway, the more courteous it is, and the greater the impact on Houjin. From the analysis of the psychology of the old slave, the people who value and promote them so much have rebelled, and how many Han people can be trusted?
In other words, as long as Liu Xingzuo succeeds in returning to the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big or small his merits are, there will inevitably be a wave of suspicion and purges of Han officials and generals in Houjin.
Traitors, deserve it!
Zhang Keda scolded angrily in his heart, in the field of vision of the telescope, the forward ship had anchored, put down the small boat, and transported the soldiers to the shore.
One, two, three......
As more and more Ming soldiers landed ashore and formed a formation, Zhang Keda was relieved and knew that great things could be accomplished.
…………………… Divider....................................
Boom, boom, boom...... The sound of continuous explosions echoed through the field, like thunder and thunder in the sky.
With the car formation in front and the soldiers behind, the Ming army and Jiannu had another head-to-head confrontation, starting with the fierce bombardment of the new artillery, the Ming Dynasty, which opened the curtain of fierce battles.
It is not the first time that the Ming Army and Jiannu have fought in a field battle. At that time, Sakhalian led the army to fight, but failed to break through the battle formation of the Ming army, and suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of muskets and grenadiers.
In the past few days, he has fought against the Ming army again, and it is still Sakhalian who is in command, who makes him experienced! Albeit a failed experience.
But Sakhalian reluctantly found that the Ming army had become stronger again.
Not only were there more and more sturdy tanks, but many of them also had Fran cannons on them, and the rate of fire of the Ming musketeers had also increased significantly. Moreover, Sakhalian found that the battle formation of the Ming army had also changed.
The equipment of the flintlock pistol was not all, and the Ming army of the brigade still retained all the heavy arquebuses, and the Ming army that stayed behind in the brigade did not change its equipment.
Even so, the rate of fire of the flintlock pistols, as well as the dense arrangement of musketeers, showed remarkable power.
Relying on a large number of chariots and strong firepower, the Ming army of the brigade thwarted several attacks by Sakhalian one after another, occupied Shiheyi, and advanced to the area of Xinjin and Hongzuibao.
At this point, the Ming army slowed down its advance and became cautious and serious, as if it had some scruples.
From the geographical point of view, after Xinjin, it is the vast land of southern Liaoning. In the field, the vast battlefield is exactly where the cavalry can play.
Jiannu's step by step retreat did not seem to be really invincible, but consciously and planned, wanting to lead the Ming army to a place that was conducive to their strengths to fight.
Therefore, the brigade Daming army slowed down the speed of advance, step by step, cautiously passed the new gold, and finally confronted the main force led by Dai Shan on a vast battlefield.
But times have changed, and the battle between the two armies that Dai Shan and others wanted to see was expressed in another form at the beginning.
Obviously, Dai Shan and the others did not know the type and power of the artillery that the Ming army had. They only judged that the brigade Ming army was not equipped with that kind of powerful Hongyi cannon.
Therefore, when the more than 20 heavy forces behind the Ming army suddenly became powerful, Dai Shan and others were completely blinded.
"Boom, boom, boom......" After the test-firing, the Ming Dynasty continued to exert its might, and the huge cannonballs flew over a distance of more than 1,000 meters and fell into the battle formation of Jiannu.
An explosion sounded, and clouds of smoke rose up in the Jiannu array, and under the continuous bombardment of artillery, the Jiannu array became less and less neat.
