Chapter 37: Wolf Smoke Spreads
Ning Yuan, Liaodong Governor's Mansion.
Yuan Chonghuan was woken up by his own soldiers while he was still asleep, and said that the Jinzhou front line was urgent.
"What did Wu Xiang report in the military intelligence?"
Yuan Chonghuan buried himself in his clothes and opened his mouth to ask.
Because Cao Wenzhao was transferred to Beijing by Zhu Youzhen to serve as the governor of Beijing, it is now Jinzhou General Wu Xiang and Deputy General Zu Tianshou who are guarding Jinzhou.
When the soldiers saw Yuan Chonghuan asking, they dared to open the military letter and check it, and reported it while reading it.
"General Wu said in the letter that the Houjin army raised 60,000 soldiers, led by Heshuo Belle Amin himself, bypassed Jinzhou on Dinghai Day and attacked the four towns of Hexi, Gaoqiao, Zhujiawa and Tashan, and now the troops have surrounded Daxing and Camel Forts, and the general Hu Renfan was killed and martyred in Gaoqiao, and Zhu Mei, the general of Daxingbao, defended for help."
Yuan Chonghuan, who was getting dressed, stopped moving, but quickly recovered, and just silently recited Renfan.
It was his own soldier who followed him for nearly ten years.
After getting dressed, Yuan Chonghuan strode out of the bedroom and went straight to Shuaitang.
The generals and schools with more than 1,000 households in the Guanning army have all arrived at this moment, and now they are waiting for Yuan Chonghuan.
"The military situation is urgent, let's get straight to the point."
Yuan Chonghuan stood by the huge sand table in the center of the Shuai Hall, and a group of generals came up.
"After Jin Tuxing's army attacked, what do you think Huang Taiji wants to do."
Governor Liaodong Imperial Shi Bi said: "I heard that there was a great hunger in Jin, and the rice rose to eight taels, and the hunger was everywhere, and there were many bandits. ”
This was approved by everyone.
Even Yuan Chonghuan felt the same.
He has dealt with Houjin for so many years and knows Huang Taiji's temperament.
Fight with his father Nurhachi, and grab whatever he lacks.
"Fortunately, we have a strong wall, except for Ning Jin, there is nothing to grab." Bi Zisu said lightly: "Unless he has the ability to capture Ningjin, but there are only 60,000 people, I'm afraid he is dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival." ”
"Hahahaha."
There was laughter in the handsome hall.
Yuan Chonghuan also smiled.
Yuan Chonghuan was quite confident in the Ningjin defense line he had created.
He is not his teacher Sun Chengzong, compared to Sun Chengzong, who always wants to eat a fat man in one bite, Yuan Chonghuan is more pragmatic, he spent all his resources on the construction of two fortified cities in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and created two impregnable fortifications.
Before the Guan Ning army was only 50,000, he Yuan Chonghuan was able to put Hou Jin Shou's temper, and he killed Nurhachi with one shot, and the battle of Jinzhou made the emperor Taiji who poured the strength of the country back with a big defeat, this is a real record.
Now, with Zhu Youzhen's successive financial and food support, the Guanning army has gathered the defeated troops and the Han people who fled from southern Liaoning, and now there are more than 70,000 soldiers, and he Yuan Chonghuan has no reason to be afraid of Huang Taiji.
"When we expand our army to 100,000 in Guanning, Huang Taiji doesn't come to us, we still have to look for him!"
Yuan Chonghuan looked at the sand table and said with a smile: "Then reply to Wu Xiang, don't care about them, just keep Jinzhou and don't lose it, it is a great credit." ”
"The Inspector is wise."
As soon as the herald in the hall was about to leave to deliver the letter, he heard an urgent cry from outside the house.
"Eight hundred miles expedited! Eight hundred miles expedited! ”
Everyone raised their heads in unison, and saw that in the middle of the night, a soldier covered in blood rushed in: "Supervisor, Camel Fort and Daxing Fort have been lost, the chief soldier Zhu Mei has died in battle, and now the Jin army is storming Jinzhou, General Wu asks for help!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan's body shook suddenly.
Fortunately, the soldiers around him quickly helped him, so he didn't make a fool of himself.
Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and victory and defeat are common things in soldiers.
Yuan Chonghuan took two deep breaths to calm down and responded as quickly as possible: "Since Huang Taiji wants to fight a big fight, then let's accompany him to the end, where is Wu Sangui!" ”
"The last general!" A young general stood up, energetic and heroic.
"Rubu is the elite of my Guanning army, and it is an iron cavalry, so it is impossible to immediately pull out the camp and send troops to aid Jinzhou."
Wu Sangui responded excitedly, turned around and left.
Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, is Wu Sangui's father, and sending Wu Sangui to rescue must be extremely attentive and not delayed.
"The rest of the generals will rectify the three armies, and send troops with the commander to pull out the camp early in the morning to relieve the siege of Jinzhou, Ningyuan will leave 10,000 troops, and Bi Yushi will guard Ningyuan to protect my rear."
And they were commanded to leave.
Yuan Chonghuan immediately looked at Bi Zisu: "The matter here, when you quickly inform Your Majesty with an expedited 800 miles, Cao Wenzhao has gone to Beijing for three months, and I think I have also practiced some eyebrows, if possible, please send your Majesty to the Beijing camp to help." ”
"Jingying is only afraid of some ......"
"No matter how weak it is, it's still a soldier, and if you can't defend the city in the field, it's still okay." Yuan Chonghuan said: "Look at this posture, Huang Taiji is afraid that he wants to fight a big battle, Houjin is now short of food, this battle will not last long, as long as we can hold it for half a year, the Houjin army will collapse without a fight." ”
Bi Zisu immediately clenched his fists and responded.
-----------------
I don't know if it's a coincidence, when Ning Jin's military intelligence was sent to Beijing, the time happened to be late at night, and Zhu Youzhen was woken up just after he fell asleep.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan has 800 miles to expedite the military situation, and after Jinlianke, I have four towns and two forts in Daming, and the troops are besieging Jinzhou."
Zhu Youzhen sat up suddenly.
Turned over and got out of bed to grab the military newspaper, his face was cloudy.
Wang Chengen took off the ermine fur on the hanger and put it on for Zhu Youzhen, and carefully asked: "Do you want to summon General Cao, the commander of the Beijing camp." ”
In today's capital, Wuxun has long been slaughtered, and the only person who can speak in the military is Cao Wenzhao.
Oh yes, there are also two Liaodong governors who have long been dismissed and abandoned, Sun Chengzong and Wang Zhichen.
However, Zhu Youzhen has not seen these two people once since he ascended the throne.
Too lazy to see.
The Battle of Jinxing.
This is the Battle of Jinxing in history!
Zhu Youzhen doesn't know if his memory is wrong, because of his crossing, history seems to be a little unrecognizable.
Originally, the person who served as the governor of Liaodong at this moment was Wang Zhichen, but now it is Yuan Chonghuan, which is the biggest difference with history.
In the battle of Jinxing in history, the Ming Dynasty was defeated, losing Jinzhou, the only two important towns in eastern Liaodong, and the defense line was compressed to a city in Ningyuan.
And outside the battlefield, Daming lost even more.
Because this battle was just a smoke bomb thrown by Huang Taiji from beginning to end.
Huang Taiji's strategic focus is not Jinzhou, maybe he didn't even think that he could take Jinzhou, Huang Taiji wanted to fight Chahar, who would have thought that Amin and Abatai were so fierce, obviously just a feint attack was stunned to beat Wang Zhichen without the power to fight back.
The battle of Jinxing attracted all the strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty, and then the Emperor Taiji conquered Chahar, Chongzhen two years that is, next year, Houjin will send troops from Chahar to capture Xifengkou, and the war will be burned into North Zhili and Shandong.
And the defeat of the Battle of Jinxing also made Mao Wenlong, who was lonely on Phi Island, begin to have the idea of collaborating with the enemy to protect himself.
Everyone will lose faith in the central court after this war.
Before Zhu Youzhen could think of a countermeasure, a small eunuch rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Datong 800 miles to expedite the military report, insert the Han troops to surround Datong, and ask for help on behalf of His Royal Highness!"
