Speaking of grain transportation, it is really a bitter tear.

Since there were no concrete roads in ancient times, when the snow melted, the ground became muddy.

It can't be transported by sea, the ice period has just thawed, and Liaodong Bay is full of ice floes.

As a result, the Jinzhou Army once ran out of grain.

Fortunately, Yang Chengying had the usual means to deal with hunger, eating and drinking with the soldiers, and not engaging in specialization; The grain was distributed to the soldiers and the common people who escorted the grain and grass, and to the sentry in charge of the guard.

As winter turns to spring, shipping becomes smoother, and grain can go through Port Arthur, which is much smoother.

Coupled with the 10,000 bags of grain sent by Li Chao, the worry of running out of cooking was finally solved.

Yang Chengying knew too well what the situation was in the gate, so he didn't dare to let go.

Constantly piling up food and other materials, waiting for the will of the imperial court.

"Carefully report that Guan Ningjun and Tartar are fighting outside the Guangqu Gate."

Ning Wanme, who was in charge of intelligence work, reported: "Both sides began to probe and did not fight a fierce battle like outside the Guangqu Gate. ”

"The terrain of Guangqumen is special, which is not conducive to cavalry, which makes the Guanning army play with its back against the city wall."

Yang Cheng should know the terrain of the Beijing division well: "The purpose of Huang Taiji is to plunder, and Yuan Inspector is self-aware, so the two sides have a tacit understanding to turn into mutual temptation." ”

Although I don't know the specific details, based on my own historical records and combined with the situation detected, I can still deduce the general thoughts of the commanders of the two sides.

"This is beneficial to Huang Taiji and greatly disadvantageous to Inspector Yuan."

Ning Wan, what I am best at is grasping people's hearts: "When the people of Jingshi saw Inspector Yuan like this, they must have thought that Inspector Yuan was deliberately cowardly, so they hated Inspector Yuan very much. ”

"It's not surprising that people are suffering from war."

Yang Chengying sighed with emotion and said, "It's a pity, but I have to wronged Inspector Yuan because of this." ”

Historically, it was Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru who took advantage of this emotion to slander Yuan Chonghuan on multiple charges, so that the suspicious Chongzhen put Yuan Chonghuan in prison and sentenced Ling Chi.

When Inspector Yuan died, the people of Beijing rushed to buy his meat, dip it in sauce and wine, and eat it.

"Marshal, why don't we lead the army to the king!"

Chen Xuance, the commander of the Dongjiang Battalion, asked urgently.

Chen Xuance's real name is Chen Liangce, and he admired Wang Xuance of the Tang Dynasty and changed it to his current name.

"Although we are not afraid of the imperial court, we don't need to rush to turn against the imperial court."

As soon as the words fell, I grabbed the voice.

"We are the king of Jingqin, how can we be like a rebellion in your mouth." Chen Xuance was a little angry.

"Alas, what a pitifully stupid loyal servant!"

Ning Wan sighed in my heart, and sneered: "If you have no intention to enter Beijing, don't say that you can't enter Shanhaiguan, we can't even get through Liaoxi." ”

Then, he told Chen Xuance that the imperial court sent an envoy to comfort the marshal and praise him for his meritorious deeds in recovering his homeland.

"That's a good thing, what's the problem?"

Chen Xuance looked puzzled.

Not only him, but many generals in the tent looked at Ning Wan me with some doubts.

"A good thing? It's the worst thing in the world! "Ning Wan, I glanced at them blankly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Chen Xuance scratched his head.

"Hey, Gyeonggi has been invaded by the Tartars, and it is in danger."

Ning Wan rubbed my temples, and there was no way to take these big bosses: "The envoy never mentioned the matter of aid, but only emphasized that the commander should settle the people and beware of the Mongols, what does this mean?" ”

"This shows that the imperial court does not trust the marshal, and is afraid that the marshal will take the opportunity to steal and occupy Liaoxi."

The person who took over the conversation was Yan Mingtai, who managed Yizhou Wei.

At the behest of Yang Chengying, he led a group of Mongols to settle in Qianyang Town near Yizhouwei, and had just returned.

Yan Mingtai had previously served as the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Jiliao, and had accompanied Yuan Chonghuan to Ningyuan and other regions, so he was very familiar with this area and was very suitable for this job.

What's even more interesting is that it was the Donglin Party - Huang Zhengbin who gave him a hand, nicknamed "Earth Dog Star Golden Retriever" in the Donglin Point General Record.

Huang Zhengbin is a native of She County, and his official is Shangbao Si Shaoqing.

He was not born as a jinshi, and he was not a lifter, but an official position he bought.

Shang Baosi Shaoqing is not an important position, but an honorary position for the children of noble ministers.

But because he had a good deal with Li Sancai and Gu Xian, he was beaten into the "Donglin Party", dismissed from his post and cut his nationality, and was killed in Datong.

After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he was exempted from criminal responsibility.

He wrote to accuse Xu Dahua and Yang Weiyuan, but Chongzhen angrily reprimanded him and ordered him to return to his hometown.

Cui Chengxiu, who used to compile the records of Donglin Point Generals, learned about this incident and asked Yang Chengying to invite Huang Zhengbin to Liaodong.

Huang Zhengbin is also a very ambitious figure.

Because Huang Zhengbin worked at the bottom level in Datong, he quickly adapted to the local environment when he arrived in Liaodong.

Choosing a candidate to garrison Yizhouwei, the first thing that came to mind was Yan Mingtai, and the deputy recommended by Yan Mingtai was Huang Zhengbin.

After Yan Mingtai sat down, he said: "Our recovery of the old lands such as Yizhou Wei, Guangning Wei, and Guangning Youtun Wei is not only not a good thing for the Guanning army, but a bad thing. ”

"This ......" Chen Xuance was so surprised that he couldn't be more surprised.

"The Ningjin area is no longer the front line, and the front line has become us."

Ning Wan explained: "Whether there is Guan Ningjun or not, the imperial court doesn't care, and the situation of Inspector Yuan is even more worrying. ”

"The imperial court also doesn't want us to lead an army to help, for fear that we will take the opportunity to occupy Shanhaiguan."

Yan Mingtai has been in the court after all, "Therefore, the envoy has only one purpose here, to stabilize us, and at the same time to restrict our entry into Beijing." ”

Many generals who were loyal to the imperial court in their hearts all showed horror on their faces.

"The court won't be so mean, you must be talking nonsense here."

Chen Xuance Huo Ran got up: "Your eunuchs were attacked by His Majesty, so you have a grudge against the imperial court. ”

"General Chen Xuance, pay attention to proportions when you speak!"

It's normal to argue with each other, but revealing old scars and engaging in personal attacks, Yang Chengying will never allow it.

Chen Xuance sat down angrily and turned his head not to look at Yan Mingtai.

"Marshal, General Chen Xuance has been on the side for a long time, and it's normal that some things can't be figured out."

Yan Mingtai smiled bitterly: "He's just straightforward, please don't blame him." ”

"I'm not rebuking him, I'm just reminding him to get things done."

Yang Chengying said, looking at Huang Long: "General Huang, you seem to have deeper worries about the Jingshi?" ”

He changed the subject without missing a trace.

Huang Long hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, my subordinates have been under General Peng's command for many days, and I heard General Peng say that in Jingying, they are all a group of poor slaves, and it is completely impossible to march and fight." Without the Guanning Army, the Beijing division was in danger. ”

"How bad can it be, is it worse than the soldiers of the Li Dynasty?"

He Bin led the sailors to have contact with the Li Dynasty many times, and he despised the combat effectiveness of the Li Dynasty soldiers.

"It's all half a pound and eight taels."

Huang Long smiled bitterly: "The soldiers of the Li Dynasty are half a catty, and the Beijing camp is eight taels. ”

All the generals said "huh", can it be so bad!

"In addition to training, the soldiers of the Beijing camp do all kinds of dirty work every day. If you don't do it, you won't have enough to eat. Huang Long sneered.

"It's the reality."

Yang Chengying took the opportunity to say: "All of you must be prepared, in case the imperial court is confused, we have to be on top!" ”

"Yes, Marshal." The generals said.
