Chapter 203 Planning for Liao, each for the future
With a large number of baggage and grain across the Liao River, into the Haizhou Wei boundary, the frame of the Ming Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi also arrived in Haizhou Wei in mid-September.
This also marks that the ultimate battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens is about to officially begin.
The soldiers and horses of the entire Ming Dynasty and Liaodong have begun to cross the Liao River and assemble towards Haizhou Wei.
In addition to the soldiers and people, most of the people are also looking forward to it, hoping that the officials and soldiers can sweep away the accumulated shortcomings, directly plow the court and sweep the holes, and uproot the Houjin.
In fact, before the war began, the imperial court had already ordered that all the people had been required to leave the east of the Liao River and move to Ningyuan City and Guangning Zhucheng, so that the imperial court could fight without worries.
As for the people under the control of Houjin. In the war, who dies and who lives, it depends on fate.
At the defense site of the Haizhou Acropolis, a large number of people are still preparing for the upcoming war, and countless arrows and defenses and siege equipment used in the war are all being urgently controlled.
"In this battle, Lang Guogong is not here, I always feel a little flustered," During the break, Niu Erdan sat in the shade, nibbling on dry food with his brothers.
"It is said that the Jing is slightly more than a princess, and he has obtained a warrant from the Duke of Langguo, and there should be no problem in this battle," my brother Niu Bao felt that the hard chaff he had just swallowed was blocked in his throat, and hurriedly raised the kettle next to him, and poured water into his throat with a gurgling grunt.
"Slightly fair?" With a croak, Niu Erdan chewed the dry food in his mouth, showed a touch of disdain in his dim eyes, and said silently: "Liaodong people only recognize Lang Guogong!" ”
Since Wang Qi rescued tens of thousands of refugees from Liaodong in Jizhou Mansion, most of the people in Liaodong have regarded Wang Qi as a life-saving benefactor, not to mention his exploits in Liaodong to turn the tide.
Many people in Liaodong didn't understand why the imperial court didn't send Wang Qi over because this battle was so important.
Niu Bao glanced at his family and muttered: "Having said that, but now that the prime minister is in Haizhouwei, and the grandfather of the country is coming, isn't this a credit grab?" These people won't want to."
"Grab a fart! Who created such a good situation? Without the grandfather of the country, what can they do with their civil, military and beasts? Who is still robbing the credit! Niu Erdan was obviously unconvinced, and scolded with a suppressed voice.
"However, I heard," Niu Bao also lowered his voice when he saw this, and whispered: "The prince has been in poor health recently, and I heard from the family who worked in the Jingluo Mansion that I saw the Bupa who coughed up blood from the Jingluo room. ”
"Huh?" Niu Erdan was stunned: "Won't it?" That kind of big official, can he still get sick? ”
"He's not a martial artist," Niu Bao shook his head: "Why can't you get sick?" ”
At this moment, the soldier who supervised the work in the distance began to urge: "Work hard, work hard!" Don't lie around and wait for the war to stop, you will have to rest! ”
Niu Erdan and Niu Bao in the shade glanced at each other: Let's work, eating a full meal is the main thing, and the big guys are only talking about it.
Haizhou Wei, temporary passage of the Yamen, the main hall of the meeting.
"This time, I have gathered a total of 130,000 horses, including 15,000 cavalry, archers, infantry, shields, and armor soldiers, and the rest of the pack horses, people, and transport soldiers," Xiong Tingbi sat on the wide Huanghuali chair, looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, arched his hand to the south, and said solemnly:
"The will of the imperial court this time is very clear, the army will press, plough the court and sweep the holes, crush the Houjin forces, and restore my homeland in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The lower official (the last general) obeys the order!"
"Ahem, cough, cough," Xiong Tingbi covered his mouth and nose with the brocade handkerchief in his hand, coughed violently twice, and slowed down for a while before continuing: "You must understand that this time our army can only succeed, not fail, before there was Lang Guogong for us to sweep away the accumulated evils, crush the main army of the Houjin, and then the imperial court gathered the strength of the whole country to raise food, soldiers, people, and grain for us, so 130,000 people faced the participation of the Houjin people, we had other options except the power of thunder to sweep away!" ”
Listening to Xiong Tingbi's words, everyone in the hall nodded yes.
In this battle, only success is allowed, not failure.
For Xiong Tingbi, this battle was the battle of his own name, and this Liaodong economist wanted to prove that without Wang Qi's command, he could still lead the army to victory and win in the face of Houjin.
For Zu Dashou and other local generals in Liaodong, this war is for the next few decades, but it is the foundation of the family for more than 100 years, the ancestral family of Liaodong, the Zhao family of Liaodong, the Cao family of Liaodong, and so on, all for the future of the family.
And for Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng and others, this is the road to heaven for them to advance in the court, and the road has been paved for them by Lang Guogong in front.
As for Yuan Chonghuan and other civil officials, as long as this battle can be won, then it is just around the corner for the feudal officials to be promoted to the cabinet in the future.
Therefore, the Great War of Liaodong is not only a matter of national fortune, but also a battle of the fate of everyone.
"Elemental, let's get started," Xiong Tingbi nodded at Yuan Chonghuan, signaling that he could start.
Yuan Chonghuan, dressed in a black brocade robe, got up and bowed to Xiong Tingbi, and then walked to the sand table in the hall: "This battle against the final game of Houjin, combined with the will of the imperial court to Liaodong, after discussion between the Yamen and the generals, it was decided to send troops to fight the Jurchens in three days. ”
Everyone in the hall was looking fixedly at the sand table in the field.
In fact, these days, Xiong Tingbi has convened everyone to discuss matters no less than ten times, and Zu Dashou and others are already familiar with the strategy of this battle
"On September 17th, the military council decided to take Zu Dashou, Cao Wenzhao, and Zhao Shujiao as the left, center, and right vanguard battalions, leading 50,000 people, and launching an attack on Liaoyang City, Luo Yiyi, and Man Gui led more than 20,000 people to exert pressure on Liaoyang City from the flank, and at the same time swept the front line of Anping Mountain, Qianshan, and Changning Fort, and blocked the Jurchen soldiers and horses who came to help! In addition, Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng led 20,000 horses, and responded in the center, dispatching and supporting everywhere at any time, in case of emergency! ”
Yuan Chonghuan used the small flag in his hand to insert various key points in the sand table to tell the entire strategic deployment.
"After the start of the entire war, all soldiers and generals must obey the dispatch of the Chinese army, and everything is subject to the strategic warrant, and no troops are allowed to be sent out of the plan without permission!"
"The last general will obey!" In the whole council hall, everyone stood up and made a promise.
Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, turned his head to Xiong Tingbi in the top position, and bowed: "My lord." ”
"Well," waving his hand slightly, Xiong Tingbi slowly got up, looked at everyone in the hall, and his eyes swept over the faces of Zu Dashou, Luo Yiyi, Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng and others one by one: "This official has never liked those lies, this battle, not for anything else, just for your future, please fight!" ”
"If the Houjin is extinguished, I will lead the horse and whip for the monarchs in Shenyang City, and ask for meritorious deeds for the monarchs to the court one by one!"
"Die for the Adults!"
The entire hall of the council was silent.
This battle, if not for anything else, is just for the sake of their own future, and everyone must do their best.
