God fled in a rage.

He didn't know that a pair of eyes were always on him.

When he fled away, the man appeared and walked straight in front of Hong Chengchou.

"Gone?"

"Yes."

"Let's go down."

Hong Chengchou sneered.

It turned out that all this was Hong Chengchou's plan, killing Shen Yiyuan and his henchmen, but leaving Shen Yikui.

After Shen Yikui fled back, he must have rebelled.

As soon as he rebelled, Hong Chengchou had a reason to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Wang Zuohang, who has already surrendered, will also choose to start again because of his uneasiness.

At that time, what did Yang He rely on to be the governor of the three sides.

He Renlong came out and reported: "The governor, including Shen Yiyuan, has killed a total of 320 thieves. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and ordered: "Hang them all on the city wall and show the people what the end of the rebellion is." As for the oneness of God, the head of the owl is shown to the public. ”

"Yes." He Renlong stepped back.

At this time, the servants of the family came and reported in Hong Chengchou's ear that the emperor had a secret decree.

Hong Chengchou was slightly surprised, and hurriedly got on the horse and returned home.

Bathing and changing clothes, wearing official robes, and supervising Hong Chengchou, who is full of style, respectfully leads the order.

After handing over the secret decree to Hong Chengchou, the eunuch added in a low voice: "Your Majesty orders you to reply immediately, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Father-in-law, please use tea, and after the lower official sees it, he will reply immediately."

Hong Chengchou asked the servant to send the eunuch down to rest and offer gold and silver.

Seeing the eunuch leave, Hong Chengchou went into the study, hurriedly opened the secret decree, and quickly browsed it.

"I see."

After reading it, Hong Chengchou immediately picked up his pen and wrote a secret letter, replying to Chongzhen:

The governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, played carefully, and the minister heard that since ancient times, the slave has bullied the master. Although Yang Chengying received the grace of God and was ordered to pass through Liaodong, he was repeatedly unrestrained, which shows that the saying is true.

Chen Wenda has been repeatedly attacked by Lin Dan, so it is better to lead the water to the east.

The minister thought that a messenger could be sent to inform Lin Dan Khan in the name of sending a reward that Yang Cheng should have the ambition to swallow Mongolia.

Drive tigers and leopards to fight with lions, and His Majesty will watch from the wall and benefit from it.

After writing it, Hong Chengchou read it over and over again, made sure that there was no problem, put it in an envelope, sealed it with wax, and then took it out and handed it to the eunuch who passed the decree.

Chongzhen got the secret fold and thought it was true, so he sent someone to inform the governor of Ningxia and ordered him to act according to the plan.

Yang Cheng was still unaware of this, and was already formulating a route to march.

On April 27, the third year of Chongzhen, Yang Chengying held the last military meeting before the competition.

There was an empty silence around the council hall of Jinglufu, and more than 20 steps away, more than 100 guards were on guard with weapons in their hands, and no one was allowed to approach.

"I have 180,000 armored soldiers in 15 counties in six prefectures in eastern Liaodong, of which there are cavalry divisions, artillery battalions and firearms battalions and other heavy troops stationed on the Anshan front, 10,000 standard battalions in Haizhou and Gaizhou, as well as forward battalions and escort battalions stationed to reinforce Anshan at any time."

"The Yongjian Battalion is in Gaizhou, the Tiger Wing Battalion is in Jinzhou, the Zhichong Battalion is in Port Arthur, and the Yingyang Battalion is in Haizhou, all of which are burdened with heavy responsibilities and cannot be withdrawn."

"Xiong Wei Camp guards Guangning, Hubu Camp guards Yizhou, Leopard Tao Camp guards Yingkou, and the only one who can be used as a backup is the Shi'er Battalion."

Deputy Privy Envoy Zu Dashou, shouldering the heavy responsibility of army building and military intelligence staff, stood in the northwest corner of the council hall, facing everyone, and talked about the situation of our army unhurriedly.

Hearing this, most of the people in the hall had already heard the meaning of the words.

The current Liaodong family has a great cause, and it is very difficult to defend it, and the troops that can be dispatched are quite limited.

The Guanning army guarded Liaoxi, and before the Daning Guard played a role, it could not move casually.

Judging from the layout, the south side is fine, and there are naval divisions that can block the sea at any time to cut off the enemy's rear route.

There is a strong enemy in the north, and you must be very careful.

"Our enemies, who seem to be Mongols such as Karaqin, actually need to watch out for the following points."

Zu Dashou continued to increase: "First, our army has not been out of the fortress for many years, and it carries a large number of people and materials, and the Mongols are the best at looting and plundering wars.

Second, in addition to Karaqin, there are also Mongolian tribes and herdsmen such as the Ao Han tribe, the Naiman tribe, the Weng Niute tribe, and the Hongji tribe in Mongolia, which need to be on guard at all times.

Third, Lin Dan Khan, who is far away in the Naturalization City, is also the target of key prevention.

Fourth, it cannot be ruled out that Huang Taiji will attack us with cavalry. ”

Problems such as epidemics, sandstorms, and possible short-term food shortages have been discussed in advance and relevant training has been conducted.

For example, how to find a reliable source of water, what water cannot be drunk, how to make a fire, how to hunt, which prey should not be touched, etc.

Thinking of all these difficulties, the atmosphere in the council hall became a little dull.

"Although there are many enemies, we are not vegetarians."

Zu Dashou's words changed: "Our army is all loyal and reliable soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, have excellent armor, and a large number of artillery. The military formation, which had been practiced for many days, was enough to deal with the Mongol cavalry. ”

"And most importantly, the enemy is not of the same mind. The Mongolian Great Khan Lin Dan did not know how to govern, so that everyone in the steppe was in danger, and the slightest wind and grass would cause them to flee in despair. ”

"The successive years of white plagues have caused a large number of his subordinates to flee, either to the emperor Taiji or to us. Many of us are familiar with the terrain of Mongolia and have a lot of experience. ”

"Huang Taiji has been fighting for many years, squeezing out Big Baylor and Three Baylor, and he has just made a decision. There is no longer the ability to go on an expedition, and even if it is harassed, it is an itch in the boots, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Zu Dashou's words were completely instructed by Yang Chengying.

First of all, we will use the difficulties of the actual situation to let everyone realize the seriousness of the problem, dispel the frivolous mentality of some people, and then encourage everyone's confidence through careful analysis.

"After deliberation with the Privy Council, this time our army will go out of the fortress, and the troops will be divided into two ways."

Zu Dashou took the baton and said to the map: "On the northern road, with Jinglu as the main commander, he led the Guards Division, the First Division and the New First Division, a total of 30,000 soldiers, to escort the people out of the fortress from Dakang Fort and arrive at Daning City. ”

Dakang Fort used to be the mutual market point of the leader of the Ao Han tribe.

After Xiao Qingqing was inadvertently shot by the Ming army, some of his subordinates followed his son to join Houjin, part of it went to Lin Dan Khan, and part of it went to the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, there is no Ao Han Department outside Dakang Castle.

The only thing to watch out for is the sneak attack of Houjin and other tribes.

"On the south road, with General Abatai as the main commander, accompanied by Master Cui and Gao Gonggong, he led the army from Gaotai Fort and went north along the Liuqi River, and under the guidance of Subudi, he wiped out the Karaqin tribe."

Zu Dashou continued.

Karaqin may also evade when he hears the wind, but he must also divide his troops, otherwise the logistical pressure will be too great.

There was an army under the command of Abatai, which was called the First Army of Integration.

The reorganized First Army consisted of the new 2nd, 3rd and 4th Divisions.

With Abatai as the privy councillor and concurrently as the military commander, Heiyunlong as the deputy military commander. Lang Qiu served as the supervisor of the army, and Wang Yining served as the chief of the general staff.

It has Shen Zhixiang, commander of the new second division, Zu Zeyuan, commander of the new third division, and Daerhan, commander of the new fourth division.

After the Battle of Anshan, the Han army and Jurchen bannermen from Jizhen were reorganized, as well as some recruits.
