Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 177
Chapter 177
The Liaodong generals expressed their dissatisfaction with Li Xian's concession.
They don't care about political deals, they only want military exploits.
They believed that Liaodong was on the defensive and could not defeat the enemy head-on because of the crisis in the capital.
It was because of the need to defend the capital that the Liaodong Army was delayed, and the feat of conquering Bolai should belong to Liaodong Town.
Yu Qian knows people's hearts deeply, and he sees the care of the Liaodong Army in his eyes.
"Li Xian, I know your ability well."
"Don't be too self-effacing."
Yu Qian asked: "The commander-in-chief asks you, do the Jurchen and Wuliangha tribes have the intention to take advantage of the fire?"
"Back to Commander, these two films are still quite obedient."
"They are willing to exchange the heads of the Karaqin tribe for weapons."
"However, we all hope that Daming will expand the horse market and increase transactions."
Li Xian smiled wryly: "The lower official reported to His Majesty, but the court completely delegated power to the lower official, and the lower official didn't know how to make a decision."
It is not a good thing for the emperor to trust too much.
Li Xian encountered happiness troubles.
He was grateful to the emperor in his heart. The Tatar soldiers besieged Daning City. The emperor knew that Liaodong was in trouble, so he gave him the greatest tolerance, and the court gave him the greatest autonomy.
Even if Li Xian breaks the post road, he can establish himself as king.
Visible central support.
"Marshal, I don't want to expand the horse market!"
Li Xian gritted his teeth and said: "The war will end sooner or later, but the scale of Kema City will expand, and there will be endless troubles."
"It will make it difficult for Wuliangha and Jurchen to Sinicize."
"Your Majesty wants to send an official here, it's from Huairou Wuliangha, not from strong Wuliangha."
"The Jurchen Ministry can support it. Using Jurchen to check and balance North Korea and force North Korea to surrender, we can work out a countermeasure."
"That's why the lower officials have not allowed the expansion of the horse market for a long time."
After listening to Li Xian's words, Yu Qian nodded lightly: "Don't pay attention to them, let's break through first, clean up Liaodong, and then deal with Wuliangha and Jurchen!"
"Your Majesty wants to push the border to the north, set up two capitals in Mobei, and change the capital to Liaoning Province in Liaodong."
"What I mean by this commander is to take Liaohetao and push it to Zhangwu!"
"Let Liaoning's territory be perfected!"
"So, the task of besieging the Harqin East Route Army in Fushun is entrusted to you, Li Xian."
"The Central Route Army of the Liaoyang Department will be swept away by Lu Yuan."
"This commander sits in Shenyang and cheers for you!"
Li Xian's eyes lit up.
Yu Qian understands people's hearts. He exchanged military exploits for the hearts of the Liaodong army.
Wait for Li Xian and others to go out.
Hu Bin cupped his hands and said, "Commander, Liaodong soldiers can't fight tough battles, why let them fight?"
Gu Rong and Niu Zhen, who was recuperating, also followed suit.
Only Zhang Gu did not speak.
"You all think so?"
Yu Qian frowned: "Have you ever considered the problem from the perspective of the handsome?"
Hu Bin was stunned: "The commander-in-chief means...the Liaodong soldiers are holding back their breath, should they let it out?"
"Half right."
Yu Qian looked at Lu Yuan and Zhang Gu.
Lu Yuan said earnestly: "The commander-in-chief sent a humble officer to lead the first army to share the pressure on the Liaodong army."
Yu Qian was noncommittal.
Zhang Gu interjected: "In addition to being concerned about the emotions of the Liaodong Army, the commander-in-chief thinks that the Liaodong Army can't take down [-] soldiers from Karaqin. We sit in Shenyang and wait to eat the remnants of Karaqin soldiers?"
"Justice (Zhang Gu's words) these words, penetrated into the heart of this commander!"
Yu Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "That's right, the Liaodong Army can't take down [-] elite soldiers from Harqin."
"Don't look at Cao Yi's self-confidence, the Liaodong Army is also full of energy."
"But in terms of strength, is the Liaodong Army really the opponent of the Harqin Department?"
"If so, how could it be possible that they were suppressed and beaten by the Harqin Department, and they dare not even go out of the city gate?"
Yu Qian sneered: "Worrying about the safety of the capital is all an excuse, it's nothing more than being inferior to others!"
"The safety of the capital is naturally controlled by the commander-in-chief and Liang Pangxie. Why should the Liaodong Army worry about it?"
"Liang Ping led [-] Henan military preparation troops... Oh, now it's called the Henan Army, and now they are stationed in Jinzhou for training. They can support Daning and Liaodong at any time."
"The Liaodong Army is nothing more than seeing that the military exploits are at their fingertips, so they strive for it."
"This commander is the commander in chief."
"They want to strive for merit, so I will give them a chance."
"If the skills are not as good as others, they can't blame others."
Yu Qian is willing to teach those around him.
The military and political level of Hu Bin and Zhang Gu has grown visibly with the naked eye.
On the other hand, Lu Yuan, obviously has excellent aptitude, but he fell into the trap of fame and fortune, only thinking about military achievements, but neglected to study.
"The next official (under the bid) is waiting to be taught!"
After appeasing the headquarters.
Yu Qian issued an order to Liang Pang's troops to enter Liaohetao, set traps on Liaohetao, open his pockets, and wait for the Karaqin tribe to come in.
Anyway, Liang Ping was going to set a trap outside the Great Wall. If the Harqin tribe crossed the Great Wall and returned to the grassland, they would fall into Liang Ping's pocket.
As the commander in chief, he not only needs to be able to fight, but also to appease the emotions of all ministries.
The military merits of the Liaodong Army should also be given to Liang Ping's Henan Army.
Yu Qian wanted to eat [-] soldiers from Harqin.
You have to be fully prepared to get it done once and for all.
Exit the yamen.
Li Xian discussed the war with Shang Ren and Cao Yi.
"Governor Li, don't worry. Although Bolai is strong, our Liaodong soldiers are not bad."
Cao Yi was full of confidence: "I have to go back to prepare for the humble job, and Governor Li and Governor Shang have to speak a few words of kindness for the humble job in front of the commander."
Although he spoke respectfully, he didn't have the slightest respect for Li Xian.
He thinks he has guarded Liaodong for many years and has worked hard, so why is Li Xian stepping under his feet?
Therefore, in this battle, he will fight desperately, and fight an earl out.
Seeing Cao Yi leave, Li Xian knew that Cao Yi didn't pay much attention to Bo Lai at all, and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated.
Yu Qian defeated the Tatars in a big victory, but it also gave Cao Yi great confidence.
Of course, he also wanted to subdue Cao Yi as his lackey.
However, Cao Yi was old and favored by the emperor, so he was reluctant to be subdued by him and became a lackey of civil servants.
Li Xian looked worried: "The commander-in-chief gave us a chance for Liaodong soldiers, if we can't grasp it, how can we explain to the commander-in-chief?"
"General Cao has his own thoughts." Shang Ren smiled wryly.
After returning home, Li Xian was still worried.
Simply go to visit, go to Cao's house to visit Cao Yi.
Cao Yi was in the army, so Li Xian rushed to the barracks again.
The military camp was crowded at the gate of the city, and Yu Qian's troops were stationed outside the city.
Li Xian frowned. The barracks was cramped and crowded, with tens of thousands of soldiers crowded together. In this hot day, once a plague broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
Building a camp in the city was out of help, but Li Xian ordered to demolish the nearby houses and expand a large area. Why is the military camp still so crowded?
After passing the barracks, I saw a spacious court hall, where all the high-level officials of the Liaodong Army were located.
The barracks and the courtroom have almost the same area.
The generals live a good life, but the soldiers are not as good as dogs.
Li Xian's eyes were gloomy, he walked into the camp, but he heard Cao Yi's hearty laughter, he was having a banquet.
The sergeant waiting outside the door wanted to speak, but when he saw Li Xian's official robe, he had to shut up.
Li Xian pushed open the door.
A group of big bosses were eating happily, their mouths were full of swear words, and they reeked of alcohol.
"Governor Li is here?"
Cao Yi didn't think there was a problem, and asked sleepily, "But the commander has a new arrangement?"
The battle is imminent, but you, as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, are still eating, drinking and having fun?
Are you also qualified to be the commander-in-chief?
Li Xian walked over to the wine table with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, with a lift of both hands, the wine table was directly overturned!
"There's a war going on outside, but you're drinking and having fun?"
Li Xian hoarsely said: "Cao Yi, don't you dare to kill you as the governor?"
Plates and bowls hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Cao Yi sobered up.
Seeing Li Xian's furious face, he trembled all over: "I know I'm wrong!"
He instantly understood that Li Xian was trying to show him off.
This banquet is very normal, which general should not win over the generals below by eating, drinking and having fun, otherwise why would they work for you?
You, Li Xian, don't know how to fight, but you want to intervene, because you want Lao Tzu to submit to you.
no way!
"Cao Yi!"
"The commander-in-chief handed over Yingkou to you, because he valued you!"
"It's your chance to be knighted!"
"The battle is imminent, and we will march tomorrow. You are not watching in the army, but drinking and having fun here?"
"If I hand over a memorial to you, Cao Yi, don't talk about the title, even the position of the commander-in-chief will be lost!"
Li Xian roared.
Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, yes, there is Yu Qian behind Li Xian?
Gollum!
He swallowed.
Glancing at the furious Li Xian in horror, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground: "I know I'm wrong! I'm going to reorganize the army now!"
Since Li Xian entered Liaodong, although he came here with the imperial decree, he was gentle and drizzled, and he turned a blind eye to everything.
Everyone in Liaodong laughed at Li Xian as the old man of Dian Dian Ge.
This is the first time Li Xian got angry.
But he wanted to take off the head of Cao Yi, the general soldier of Liaodong.
The most frightening thing is that he moved out of Yu Qian.
In terms of official rank, Yu Qian is higher than Cao Yi, and in terms of military exploits, he is much more than Cao Yi.
If Yu Qian speaks for Li Xian, is Cao Yi still alive?
"Is it wrong?"
"Can a sentence of acknowledgment be exempted from guilt?"
Li Xian glanced at the Liaodong generals: "There are you! The battle is coming, why gather people to drink?"
The soldiers all knelt on the ground.
Naturally, the other generals did not dare to disobey, and knelt on the ground to report: "Before the expedition, the comrades gathered for a banquet. This has been a rule for many years."
"How many years of rules? Does the center know? Does your majesty know?"
Li Xian was furious: "If the Harqin soldiers attacked you while you were drinking, how would you feel?"
"Besides, you have a banquet by yourself, but let the soldiers eat porridge. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will rebel?"
"Mark your mistake!" What did the generals dare to say?
This kind of thing happens all the time, don't you, Li Xian, know?
But today, relying on Yu Qian's power, he dared to attack!Just take it easy on us!
That's right.
Before each battle, the Liaodong Army would have a banquet, and Li Xian was angry in his heart and dared not express it.
Today he will take power.
By the way, he won the heart of the Liaodong general.
Let you know who to rely on.
Li Xian sat down slowly, looking down at Cao Yi, who was kneeling at his feet, and the generals of Liaodong.
Beads of sweat dripped from Cao Yi's nose on the ground.
He understood Li Xian's deep meaning.
Things like banquets can be big or small, the main thing is whether Yu Qian will support Li Xian?
Once Yu Qian backs him up, he won't be able to be the commander-in-chief, and the credit he is about to get is gone, and the title he has been thinking about is completely gone.
In the courtroom, inexplicably fell into a cold silence.
"If you know you're wrong, you have to change it!"
Li Xian said indifferently: "Everyone, hit [-] big boards and demote one level!"
The Liaodong generals opened their eyelids, and some morons wanted to jump up and beat Li Xian to death.
If Li Xian was really beaten to death, it would be a joke.
Cao Yi's whole family will die.
So he kept winking at his subordinates, telling them to be patient for now.
"Master Governor, our army is about to go to the front line."
"If the board is hit, if the general does not charge forward, how can the soldiers behind be willing to sacrifice their lives?"
Cao Yi said urgently: "What's more, this banquet is a feast of beheading!"
"How many people have fought in ancient times!"
"The humble staff is worried about us people. This is the last time we can use and eat well."
"So please, Lord Governor, hold your hand high and give us one last chance to reunite!"
This is bullshit!
How can a general rush to the front in a war?
In that case, the general would have died long ago.
Li Xian stared at Cao Yi, seeing his white hair.
Such a person can put all his eggs in one basket for the title.
If he could be wooed a little bit, this person would be able to help him, and with his help, Cao Yi would be honored as Duke of the State.
"Cao Zongbing, can't the governor punish you?" Li Xian asked.
"My lord governor can be punished or punished, but please put it on the account for the time being, my lord governor. When we come back alive, if we want to be beaten or beaten, we will follow the governor!" Cao Yi said grandly.
What does Li Xian mean, can he not understand?
Even though he is in Liaodong, Shi Ju and Jiao Li will write to him about the affairs in central Beijing, and he knows everything about it.
Shi Ju and Jiao Li were appointed as the generals of the Xuanjia Army.
But he was not allowed to leave Beijing for a long time.
It shows that the emperor was worried about Cao Yi, but his generals Shi Ju and Jiao Li suffered disaster.
Why is the emperor worried about Cao Yi?
Cao Yi has guarded Liaodong for many years and has worked hard. Why did the emperor suspect him?
Cao Yi thought over and over for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that the emperor was worried that he would draw closer to the civil official group.
At the beginning, it was because of business affairs, but the level of business affairs was average, so he didn't deal with business affairs at all.
Li Xian is different. Li Xian does things quietly, quietly, but secretly.
The emperor was worried that Cao Yi would get close to Li Xian and be taken under Li Xian's command.
From the letters sent by Shi Ju and Jiao Li, the two generals did not hesitate to praise the emperor. It can be seen that the emperor is another Yongle Emperor.
How dare he cross the threshold?
Therefore, even if he was caught by Li Xian, even if Li Xian might have Yu Qian's backing behind him, he would never dare to vomit.
Once surrendered.
The Emperor will surely replace him.
His title will be indefinitely!
The emperor would never promote a military general who took refuge in civil servants, and the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of military generals.
See why Liang Pang is stationed in Jinzhou?
That is to guard against Liaodong.
Once the capital changes, Liang Pang will never return to Beijing, but will only be stationed in Liaodong, making Liaodong as stable as Mount Tai.
The emperor's moves are interlocking.
He, Cao Yi, is just a pawn on the chessboard, dare to change the color of the pawn by himself, and defect to the enemy?
Tired of living!
Cao Yi just kept his head sullen and said nothing.
"I just found out today that the governor has a sharp tongue." Li Xian sneered.
He is a majestic governor of Liaodong, but he can't even eat Cao Yi?
Shang Ren has no ability.
But Li Xian is not an ordinary person. The emperor kicked him to the place because he was afraid of him.
He was in the center, and the emperor never had a day of peace.
"Don't dare!"
Cao Yi is also gambling.
Bet, if Li Xian reports this matter, the emperor will not blame him.
It’s different in the past.
In the past, if you wanted to be knighted, you had to go through the civil service.
Now, the emperor rules the world, the imperial power is in his hands, and it is only necessary for the emperor to move his lips.
"The Governor has learned a lot today!"
Li Xian was furious: "This governor will write a letter to His Majesty, and let His Majesty make a decision!"
"Acknowledge the punishment!" Cao Yi actually didn't want to get so stiff with Li Xian.
We will continue to work together in the future.
The civil and military forces are at the same level, and sooner or later they will be reprimanded by the central government. When the time comes, one of them must be transferred out of the two of them.
Thinking with my toes, I also knew that Cao Yi had been transferred.
Li Xian was indignant.
Whenever Chen Xunshi spoke, these generals would obediently kneel down. Where is it like now, they don't pay attention to his majestic governor at all!
"Cao Zongbing, the commander-in-chief gave you a chance, you have to seize the opportunity, and don't spoil the commander-in-chief's good deeds!" Li Xian left the table angrily.
He is also kind.
In the end, Cao Yi didn't appreciate it, and he didn't want to be his lackey.
Just wait and see!
At dawn the next day, Cao Yi led his army out of the city.
There were still 12 soldiers left in the Liaodong Army, and Li Xian wanted to take some of them away, except for those who were defending various places. Cao Yi could only mobilize 8000 people. It was very difficult to form an encirclement network.
Among the 8000 people, there are [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] Shenji Battalion.
Cao Yi did a detailed sand table exercise.
Split the soldiers into five groups.
Forming a siege net to surround Yingkou, he personally led [-] cavalry and [-] Shenji Battalion, as the central army, to eat the main force of the Karaqin tribe.
Outside Yingkou city.
Bo came to sit in the big tent and drink wine.
"Boss, this city is a tough nut to crack." Bolai's general Gabia said.
Gabia advised in a low voice, "It's better to bypass this city and go to Gaizhou."
Bolai looked unhappy.
Sitting at the bottom, a handsome young man said drunkenly, "Why do you have to go to Gaizhou? We've almost finished the fight. The tribesmen already hate this damn summer and want to go back to the cool grassland."
"What do you know!"
Bo Lai glared at him. This is his cousin Badalkin, who was born in a noble family and is also his confidant.
"Boss, Daming placed Kong's family in Gaizhou, so you want to go to Gaizhou."
Badalkin said with a sneer: "The Kong family is no more than a family slave of three surnames. When I was in power, I bowed my knees to my Kong family."
"Now that Daming has been in the country, he has transformed into a loyal dog of Daming."
"Hmph, now even Daming hates them, so he put them in Liaodong."
"But we have to kill half of Liaodong before we can go to Gaizhou, which is not a shit. What are we going to do? Are we going to kill those trash?"
Bo Lai's eyes were gloomy and cold.
Walking slowly in front of Badalkin, someone brought up a washbasin, and then poured the wine from the jug into the washbasin.
"Boss, these are enough to drink, really enough." Badalkin said with a smile, thinking that this was the good wine given to him by the leader.
Bo Lai suddenly grabbed his head.
Press his head into the basin.
"Woooo!"
Bada screamed incessantly, the more he yelled, the more wine he choked into his mouth.
He coughed, and the wine that choked his nose choked into his lungs, making him even more uncomfortable.
Bada gradually stopped thumping!
Bo Laicai lifted him up and threw him on the ground, his eyes were cold: "Are you awake?"
Bada coughed violently.
Choking blood from the nose.
He quickly knelt on the ground: "Your servant is clear, clear!"
Shivering.
"Get your brain back if you are clear!"
Bada kowtowed non-stop.
After a while, Bo came to let the waiter go down, leaving only his confidant.
Slowly said: "Actually, this leader came to Liaodong."
"The most important thing is not the bitter cold place of Liaodong, let alone the crap of Liaodong."
"It's someone contacting this leader who is willing to pay a higher price."
Bo Lai said slowly.
Bada woke up instantly, and exclaimed, "The Kong family?"
"Yes."
Bo Lai nodded: "It's the Kong family. They found this leader and are willing to pay a high price to save them from the fire."
"What's the price?" Bada asked.
Snapped!
Bo Lai smashed the jug: "The price was negotiated, but the leader entered Liaodong, and they disappeared instead!"
"This leader has been tricked!"
"They don't really want to negotiate with our Harqin Department at all!"
Bada looked at him with "you're so stupid" eyes.
Bo Lai said that the Kong family sent him a thousand iron pots.
"So much?" Bada was dumbfounded.
"They promised that after the matter is completed, they are willing to pay 100 million taels of silver and a large number of firearms. Do you think this leader can not be tempted?"
Bo Lai was indignant: "But the Kong family has disappeared, and we can't contact them no matter what!"
"So, this leader wants to break Gaizhou."
"Catch Kong and force them to come up with something!"
Bada understood: "Why didn't the leader say it earlier?"
Bo Lai's eyes flickered: "Ming people are weak, and Liaodong is empty. Let's grab enough. When we go back, we can take down the Kong family and extort 100 million taels of silver. Why not?"
"Chief Shengming!" Bada cupped his hands.
"Leader tell me how to fight, my Gabia's life is the leader's!" Gabia didn't understand twists and turns, and laughed strangely.
Bo came to the sand table and looked at it for a long time: "Yingkou is the only way to Gaizhou. If you can't break through Yingkou, you can't enter Gaizhou."
"Gabbia, this leader will give you one day."
"At all costs, break Yingkou!"
"Break Yingkou, you are allowed to have fun for a day and a night, and the knife will not be sealed."
Bo Lai said coldly.
Gabia said happily, "Thank you, Chief, for your kindness!"
The brothers held back for a long time, and wanted to go in and kill a pass.
"Tell the brothers, everyone save some energy. After breaking through Yingkou, then break through Gaizhou. The saber will still not be sealed. In the end, we will go home!" Bo Lai said harshly.
Yingkou was stormed.
Shi Jia, the city guard general, is Shi Ju's younger brother.
Because Gaizhou was guarded, Jiao Sheng was stationed in Gaizhou, Jiao Qian was guarding Shimen Pass, and Shi Yu was guarding Yingkou, which can be regarded as surrounding Gaizhou into an iron bucket.
After the Liangfangkou Pass was conquered, the city of Yingkou was exposed to the enemy's soldiers.
Shi Jia knew that Yingkou was in crisis.
However, Liaodong was cut off, and Yingkou's support came from the sea. Shi Zhen deliberately divided his troops to garrison the mouth of the Liaohe River, and the support from the sea must not be cut off.
Yingkou can hold on for such a long time.
All by sea support.
A steady stream of ordnance from Shandong was transported into Yingkou.
But starting early this morning, Yingkou encountered an unprecedented onslaught.
"The Tartars are in a hurry!" Shi Geng's mouth was full of foam, and he was in a hurry.
His official robe is full of dirt, and he has no time to deal with it.
He traveled to and from the four walls, and he felt at ease after seeing the defense of the walls himself.
Sitting in the tent covered in sweat.
Regardless of the heat, Yingkou crisis, he must hold on.
"Master Tongzhi, the north city wall is in danger!" The messenger came to report.
"Take people from the southern city wall!"
The commander next to him, Shen Si'en, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the southern city wall is not guarded by many troops. If the Tartars go around the southern city wall, the city will be destroyed in an instant."
"What can you do?" Shi Zheng looked at Shen Sien.
Shen Si'en was a Jurchen, whose father was naturalized in the Yongle Dynasty, and after his father's death, he assumed the position of commander.
"The general is willing to lead people to defend the city!" Shen Sien knelt on the ground.
Defending the city, I'm afraid it's a narrow escape.
But as long as the city is defended, they are all great achievements.
Li Xian kept sending orders to appease them, telling them that the central government had sent troops to rescue them. They had learned from the waterway that Liang Pang's army was in Liaodong and was looking for the main force of the enemy.
Even, the emperor personally sent an imperial decree, telling Yingkou to guard, Liaodong to guard, and the court reinforcements will arrive soon.
The imperial decree written by the emperor is hung on the city gate tower, where all soldiers can see it.
Therefore, Yingkou and the cities of Liaodong can still persevere.
Just because there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Shen Si'en, as long as you survive, you will be my life-and-death brother Shi Zhen!" Shi Zhen was also ready to die for the country.
His elder brother Shi Ju wrote to him saying that his two sons have both entered the lecture hall, and their future prospects are limitless.
Others can surrender, but he must not surrender!
"Thank you Tongzhi for your promotion!"
Shen Si'en went out of the account and ordered troops from the city to support the north wall.
But when he reached the city wall, he found that the urn had been broken.
He had to organize the retreating people and defend the inner city wall.
Yingkou is not under the enemy's front.
So the city fell into disrepair for a long time, and the Wengcheng was only built.
Before that, the Karaqin tribe was reluctant to take their lives.
So it can't be conquered for a long time.
Now, Bo Lai has become ruthless, and has changed his riding into a step, filling his life, and conquering Yingkou is just around the corner.
Shen Sien stood on the city wall and directed it himself.
Still maintain the morale of the army.
But the defenders felt the enemy's firm confidence and vowed to break through the city.
"Brothers, hold on!" Shen Si'en was hit by an arrow.
"Don't be afraid of them all, they are attacking and we are defending, so be afraid!"
Shen Sien yelled: "As long as you hold on, everyone will be meritorious!"
"The emperor's grandfather's imperial decree is watching us!"
but.
The enemy attacked too hard.
Filled the moat with human life, then climbed up the city and conquered the urn.
Now there are warriors, regardless of life and death, climbing to the top of the city.
Bolai looked from behind.
Every time a pawn died, he was in pain.
These are good cavalry.
But died on the siege.
In this battle, more than 3000 people may be killed or injured. This is the worst battle he has fought since his debut.
This is also Bolai's first time to siege a city with his life.
He also wanted to drive the nearby people to attack the city.
But his subordinates had already killed all the people in the village. Apart from the city, Liaodong was deserted for thousands of miles, only flies wandering around countless corpses.
"Master Tongzhi, a section of the east wall has collapsed!"
Shi Jing stood up abruptly.
Looking at the general field, there are very few soldiers who can be transferred.
All the generals around him were dispatched.
"Put armor on this fellow!"
Shi Jian's eyes were firm: "If the city is here, I know that I am here; if the city is dead, I will know that I am dead!"
He led the last remaining twenty or so people to block the collapsed part of the city wall with arrogance and arrogance.
There are 7000 soldiers guarding the city of Yingkou.
After fighting for more than two hours, there were only more than 4000 people left, all of whom were injured.
A section of the city wall collapsed, and a section was blocked.
It's all filled with life.
Finally waited until the enemy temporarily retreated.
The Huotou army distributed dry food to them, all of which were white flour steamed buns.
This is a decapitated meal.
Shi Zheng opened the warehouse, let people cook all the good things, and gave the brothers a last meal.
After eating, die for the country with the city!
However, no soldier in Yingkou wanted to surrender.
Because on the top of the city gate, there is an imperial edict written by the emperor's grandfather. The emperor's grandfather told them that I am watching you from the center, and you are all heroes of Ming Dynasty!
After the war, I will reward you all!
In the entire Liaodong, only coastal cities such as Yingkou and Gaizhou can still communicate with the central.
The emperor issued an imperial decree in his own handwriting, ordering Liaodong to stick to it.
"My lord!"
There was a burst of mournful crying in the army.
When Shi Geng was carried out, he was covered in blood. There was a big hole in his stomach, and the blood flowed continuously.
"Why the hell are you crying? I'm not dead yet?"
Shi Geng grinned at them: "There is no need to treat Lao Tzu's wounds, just carry Lao Tzu to the city wall. If I die, I will die on the city wall!"
The soldiers on the east wall cried bitterly.
Shi Jian is not a general, but he has a good reputation in the Yingkou army, and the whole army is willing to listen to his orders.
Because he likes to gamble, he lost all his monthly salary, and then he tried to get money, and all the money he got went into the pockets of soldiers, because he would lose every bet, and he gambled every day.
In this way, Wei Wei formed a good reputation, and the whole army was willing to listen to his orders and obey him.
"Do it!" Shi Geng was in too much pain and didn't want to speak.
He wanted to die on the wall.
Let the emperor's grandfather take a look, I am worthy of the emperor's grace to sacrifice my life for the country!
Just after taking a bite of rice, the soldiers from the Karaqin tribe came over again.
A completely reckless onslaught.
"A bunch of useless Tartars! Hahaha!"
Standing on the city wall, Shi Geng laughed loudly, and pushed away the soldiers supporting him:
He shouted loudly: "I'm dead, and I won't let you conquer the city! The emperor's grandpa's decree is not worthy for you to read! Hahaha!"
The laughter went straight to the sky.
But it also angered the Karaqin tribe, and the soldiers attacked Shi Jia like a tide.
"Don't worry about me, defend the city! Defend the city!"
Boom!
Shi Jian's voice stopped abruptly.
The eastern wall was captured.
Harqin soldiers poured into the city like a tide.
Shi Geng was buried in the ruins, but stared blankly at the imperial decree on the gate tower: "I, I am guilty..."
Da Da Da Da!
But at this moment, the urgent sound of horseshoes came from the sky.
The sound of hooves was messy and hasty.
The Harqin soldiers who had rushed into the city wall looked back as if they were frightened.
At the same time, horns sounded from the Harqin camp, ordering the whole army to return to the camp.
The Harqin soldiers didn't know why, so they all cursed the camp in a low voice, and then reluctantly withdrew from the city.
"Same knowledge!"
The soldiers who were still alive dug Shi Jia out of the bricks.
"Tell the city walls that reinforcements are coming!" Shi Zhen held his last breath.
"Physician! Physician, come to save people!" The soldiers cried loudly.
Shi Geng's eyes were fixed on the outside of the city.
The gap in the collapsed city can be seen rolling up dust and smoke, which is the cavalry reinforcements.
He just watched steadily.
Want to know, who is coming!
When a figure approached this section of the city wall, he saw clearly that it was Cao Yi, General Soldier of Liaodong.
A smile curled up at the corner of Shi Jian's mouth, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
Your Majesty, Yingkou, I have defended, and I have lived up to your high expectations...
Shi Yu lost his breath.
"My lord!"
In Yingkou City, there were mournful cries.
The Harqin tribe harassed Liaodong, and the commander Tongzhi who died in battle, Shi Jia was the fourth.
A total of 12 commanders died in battle.
"Shi Jia!"
Cao Yi pushed away the surrounding soldiers and walked in front of Shi Jia, tears streaming down his face: "Where is the doctor! Treat him, treat him quickly! After he is cured, I will give you the position of Liaodong General Soldier." Let me do it for you!"
Brothers Shi Ju and Shi Jia, he was the one who watched them grow up.
He also picked it up with one hand.
Cao Yi thought that although Shi Ju and Jiao Li were aliens, they had a heart of loyalty. After his death, these two people would be able to guard Liaodong for the court.
Shi Geng doesn't have much talent, that is, he is a commander.
But he is loyal and reliable, and what is told to him can be done even in death.
Cao Yi stood up slowly, and the wind blew away his tears: "Send down the order to attack the Karaqin camp. I want to kill the Tartars and bury my Ming soldiers!"
The cavalry is like the wind, attacking and killing those soldiers who abandon their horses and change their steps.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bo Lai ordered the cavalry to confront the Liaodong cavalry.
The two cavalry were like a torrent.
The unlucky one was the infantry, who was sandwiched between two groups of cavalry and instantly became flesh.
At least a thousand people died in this rush.
"Where did the Ming army come from?"
Bo Lai yelled, "Didn't you fucking eat? Gabia, bring troops to charge me! Kill them!"
but.
The Liaodong Army may not be much worse.
Especially when the Liaodong Army is fighting against the same enemy, morale can eliminate the difference in riding skills.
At least one for one, one for one, one for life, one will still be able to.
In an instant, outside the city of Yingkou, it became a pool of blood. Countless horses fell to the ground, and the cavalrymen were thrown away, and finally they were trampled into flesh by the horses behind.
"Quick, build the city wall, quick!"
Cao Yi is not crazy.
It was the city of Yingkou that Shi Geng saved with his life.
He would never allow Shi Jia's life to be lost in vain.
When he saw the city of Yingkou being rebuilt, Bolai knew that he had hit the trick, but at this time Mingjin would withdraw his troops, and he might suffer a huge loss.
I can only grit my teeth and fight.
Bo Lai couldn't figure it out, where did the strong army come from?
This group of cavalry, with slightly poor riding skills, is also an elite unit of the Ming army.
The Ming army had only [-] cavalry in Liaodong, how could it be willing to spend it?
Moreover, these Ming troops were all trapped in the city, how could they suddenly leave the city?
Could this be reinforcements from the Ming army?
Where did it come from?
Bolai couldn't understand it.
And on the battlefield, there is a new turning point.
Just when the Karaqin army broke through the cavalry formation of the Ming army, it was at a critical moment.
The Shenji Battalion of the Liaodong Army went around behind the Karaqin cavalry, fired at the cavalry, ran away after the fight, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
Directly overwhelm the Karaqin army that overwhelmed the Ming cavalry.
Bo Lai can only call gold to withdraw troops.
Not to mention the useless fight in this battle, the losses were heavy.
At least eight thousand soldiers were lost.
He had only 5000 people in total, and lost 8000 in one breath, leaving only [-].
But the Ming army was not feeling well either.
This new cavalry was almost washed out and lost.
When Cao Yi withdrew his troops, he almost choked on tears. He gathered [-] cavalry, but all of them were wounded and could not fight at all.
Fortunately, the Ming army was defending the city.
Injuries can be transported into the city.
Fortunately, Yingkou has stockpiled a large amount of medicinal materials, all of which were transported from Shandong, and can be used to treat wounded soldiers.
With [-] cavalry, the battle was defeated.
Fortunately, the city was re-fortified, and the Karaqin tribe had to weigh it if they wanted to break the Yingkou city again.
Cao Yi still has [-] Divine Machine Battalions available.
"Bolai is indeed here!"
Cao Yi ignored the sadness, walked to the sand table, and began to ponder.
"Why do they insist on Yingkou?" Cao Yi couldn't figure it out.
"Master Chief Soldier!"
Shen Si'en was covered with injuries, but he was still holding on. He had tears in his eyes: "Master Shi Tongzhi once found a large number of iron pots on a group of bodyguards. It is said that they were transported to the north."
Cao Yi's face changed slightly, smuggling in the army has been repeatedly prohibited.
Could it be that the general of the Liaodong Army did it?
"Tell me in detail."
According to Shen Sien's knowledge, these iron pots came from the sea.
shipped to the north.
Shi Geng began to suspect that this was transported to Fushun Mashi.
Cao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't as good as the Liaodong Army's, it would be difficult to save him.
"As a result, not long after these iron pots were transported, the Harqin tribe came to Liaodong!" Shen Si'en cried.
"What did you say?" Cao Yi exclaimed.
"The person from the Escort Bureau was originally detained in the camp. Later, someone had a warrant from the governor of Liaodong and asked us to release him. We were forced to release him."
Governor of Liaodong?Li Xian?
Cao Yi's eyes lit up, Li Xian actually participated in smuggling?
This is a good opportunity.
Didn't Li Xian want to pinch him? Couldn't he take the opportunity to pinch Li Xian instead?
Li Xian is the representative of the Civil Service Group, with his help, coupled with the favor of the Holy One, maybe he can be directly crowned Marquis.
During his lifetime, that's all he wanted.
"Have you ever seen an iron pot after that?" Cao Yi asked again.
"That Escort has been transporting iron pots all the time."
"What bodyguard?"
"Changfeng Escort."
Cao Yi ordered someone to write it down. He wanted to check with his colleagues in Shandong, and then see where the iron pots went, and what did they have to do with Li Xian?
"Don't tell anyone else about this matter. The commander-in-chief suspects that these iron pots were transported to Tatar, so you have to report to the Holy Majesty before you can act!" Cao Yi threatened Shen Si'en.
"Mark compliance."
When Shen Sien heard the Holy Majesty, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and repeatedly said yes.
However, Cao Yi thought about it. Can he use this to handle Li Xian?
"You go to rest and recuperate first, there may be battles to be fought!"
Cao Yi snorted coldly: "Bo came to kill the old man's nephew, and the old man will kill him with his head!"
in fact.
His plans had gone awry.
It was originally intended to encircle the Harqin tribe.
He got hot in the head and avenged Shi Jia, but he knocked himself down first.
As a result, his Liaodong army was stretched. When the encirclement was completed, he didn't have enough cavalry. How could he eat up the main force?
You can't use the Shenji Battalion to chase the cavalry, that is to deliver food to the cavalry.
But Cao Yi was so focused on bringing down Li Xian that he didn't notice this loophole at all.
There is a monthly pass plus update this month!Wait for the author to collect manuscripts and add updates!
(End of this chapter)
The Liaodong generals expressed their dissatisfaction with Li Xian's concession.
They don't care about political deals, they only want military exploits.
They believed that Liaodong was on the defensive and could not defeat the enemy head-on because of the crisis in the capital.
It was because of the need to defend the capital that the Liaodong Army was delayed, and the feat of conquering Bolai should belong to Liaodong Town.
Yu Qian knows people's hearts deeply, and he sees the care of the Liaodong Army in his eyes.
"Li Xian, I know your ability well."
"Don't be too self-effacing."
Yu Qian asked: "The commander-in-chief asks you, do the Jurchen and Wuliangha tribes have the intention to take advantage of the fire?"
"Back to Commander, these two films are still quite obedient."
"They are willing to exchange the heads of the Karaqin tribe for weapons."
"However, we all hope that Daming will expand the horse market and increase transactions."
Li Xian smiled wryly: "The lower official reported to His Majesty, but the court completely delegated power to the lower official, and the lower official didn't know how to make a decision."
It is not a good thing for the emperor to trust too much.
Li Xian encountered happiness troubles.
He was grateful to the emperor in his heart. The Tatar soldiers besieged Daning City. The emperor knew that Liaodong was in trouble, so he gave him the greatest tolerance, and the court gave him the greatest autonomy.
Even if Li Xian breaks the post road, he can establish himself as king.
Visible central support.
"Marshal, I don't want to expand the horse market!"
Li Xian gritted his teeth and said: "The war will end sooner or later, but the scale of Kema City will expand, and there will be endless troubles."
"It will make it difficult for Wuliangha and Jurchen to Sinicize."
"Your Majesty wants to send an official here, it's from Huairou Wuliangha, not from strong Wuliangha."
"The Jurchen Ministry can support it. Using Jurchen to check and balance North Korea and force North Korea to surrender, we can work out a countermeasure."
"That's why the lower officials have not allowed the expansion of the horse market for a long time."
After listening to Li Xian's words, Yu Qian nodded lightly: "Don't pay attention to them, let's break through first, clean up Liaodong, and then deal with Wuliangha and Jurchen!"
"Your Majesty wants to push the border to the north, set up two capitals in Mobei, and change the capital to Liaoning Province in Liaodong."
"What I mean by this commander is to take Liaohetao and push it to Zhangwu!"
"Let Liaoning's territory be perfected!"
"So, the task of besieging the Harqin East Route Army in Fushun is entrusted to you, Li Xian."
"The Central Route Army of the Liaoyang Department will be swept away by Lu Yuan."
"This commander sits in Shenyang and cheers for you!"
Li Xian's eyes lit up.
Yu Qian understands people's hearts. He exchanged military exploits for the hearts of the Liaodong army.
Wait for Li Xian and others to go out.
Hu Bin cupped his hands and said, "Commander, Liaodong soldiers can't fight tough battles, why let them fight?"
Gu Rong and Niu Zhen, who was recuperating, also followed suit.
Only Zhang Gu did not speak.
"You all think so?"
Yu Qian frowned: "Have you ever considered the problem from the perspective of the handsome?"
Hu Bin was stunned: "The commander-in-chief means...the Liaodong soldiers are holding back their breath, should they let it out?"
"Half right."
Yu Qian looked at Lu Yuan and Zhang Gu.
Lu Yuan said earnestly: "The commander-in-chief sent a humble officer to lead the first army to share the pressure on the Liaodong army."
Yu Qian was noncommittal.
Zhang Gu interjected: "In addition to being concerned about the emotions of the Liaodong Army, the commander-in-chief thinks that the Liaodong Army can't take down [-] soldiers from Karaqin. We sit in Shenyang and wait to eat the remnants of Karaqin soldiers?"
"Justice (Zhang Gu's words) these words, penetrated into the heart of this commander!"
Yu Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "That's right, the Liaodong Army can't take down [-] elite soldiers from Harqin."
"Don't look at Cao Yi's self-confidence, the Liaodong Army is also full of energy."
"But in terms of strength, is the Liaodong Army really the opponent of the Harqin Department?"
"If so, how could it be possible that they were suppressed and beaten by the Harqin Department, and they dare not even go out of the city gate?"
Yu Qian sneered: "Worrying about the safety of the capital is all an excuse, it's nothing more than being inferior to others!"
"The safety of the capital is naturally controlled by the commander-in-chief and Liang Pangxie. Why should the Liaodong Army worry about it?"
"Liang Ping led [-] Henan military preparation troops... Oh, now it's called the Henan Army, and now they are stationed in Jinzhou for training. They can support Daning and Liaodong at any time."
"The Liaodong Army is nothing more than seeing that the military exploits are at their fingertips, so they strive for it."
"This commander is the commander in chief."
"They want to strive for merit, so I will give them a chance."
"If the skills are not as good as others, they can't blame others."
Yu Qian is willing to teach those around him.
The military and political level of Hu Bin and Zhang Gu has grown visibly with the naked eye.
On the other hand, Lu Yuan, obviously has excellent aptitude, but he fell into the trap of fame and fortune, only thinking about military achievements, but neglected to study.
"The next official (under the bid) is waiting to be taught!"
After appeasing the headquarters.
Yu Qian issued an order to Liang Pang's troops to enter Liaohetao, set traps on Liaohetao, open his pockets, and wait for the Karaqin tribe to come in.
Anyway, Liang Ping was going to set a trap outside the Great Wall. If the Harqin tribe crossed the Great Wall and returned to the grassland, they would fall into Liang Ping's pocket.
As the commander in chief, he not only needs to be able to fight, but also to appease the emotions of all ministries.
The military merits of the Liaodong Army should also be given to Liang Ping's Henan Army.
Yu Qian wanted to eat [-] soldiers from Harqin.
You have to be fully prepared to get it done once and for all.
Exit the yamen.
Li Xian discussed the war with Shang Ren and Cao Yi.
"Governor Li, don't worry. Although Bolai is strong, our Liaodong soldiers are not bad."
Cao Yi was full of confidence: "I have to go back to prepare for the humble job, and Governor Li and Governor Shang have to speak a few words of kindness for the humble job in front of the commander."
Although he spoke respectfully, he didn't have the slightest respect for Li Xian.
He thinks he has guarded Liaodong for many years and has worked hard, so why is Li Xian stepping under his feet?
Therefore, in this battle, he will fight desperately, and fight an earl out.
Seeing Cao Yi leave, Li Xian knew that Cao Yi didn't pay much attention to Bo Lai at all, and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated.
Yu Qian defeated the Tatars in a big victory, but it also gave Cao Yi great confidence.
Of course, he also wanted to subdue Cao Yi as his lackey.
However, Cao Yi was old and favored by the emperor, so he was reluctant to be subdued by him and became a lackey of civil servants.
Li Xian looked worried: "The commander-in-chief gave us a chance for Liaodong soldiers, if we can't grasp it, how can we explain to the commander-in-chief?"
"General Cao has his own thoughts." Shang Ren smiled wryly.
After returning home, Li Xian was still worried.
Simply go to visit, go to Cao's house to visit Cao Yi.
Cao Yi was in the army, so Li Xian rushed to the barracks again.
The military camp was crowded at the gate of the city, and Yu Qian's troops were stationed outside the city.
Li Xian frowned. The barracks was cramped and crowded, with tens of thousands of soldiers crowded together. In this hot day, once a plague broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
Building a camp in the city was out of help, but Li Xian ordered to demolish the nearby houses and expand a large area. Why is the military camp still so crowded?
After passing the barracks, I saw a spacious court hall, where all the high-level officials of the Liaodong Army were located.
The barracks and the courtroom have almost the same area.
The generals live a good life, but the soldiers are not as good as dogs.
Li Xian's eyes were gloomy, he walked into the camp, but he heard Cao Yi's hearty laughter, he was having a banquet.
The sergeant waiting outside the door wanted to speak, but when he saw Li Xian's official robe, he had to shut up.
Li Xian pushed open the door.
A group of big bosses were eating happily, their mouths were full of swear words, and they reeked of alcohol.
"Governor Li is here?"
Cao Yi didn't think there was a problem, and asked sleepily, "But the commander has a new arrangement?"
The battle is imminent, but you, as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, are still eating, drinking and having fun?
Are you also qualified to be the commander-in-chief?
Li Xian walked over to the wine table with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, with a lift of both hands, the wine table was directly overturned!
"There's a war going on outside, but you're drinking and having fun?"
Li Xian hoarsely said: "Cao Yi, don't you dare to kill you as the governor?"
Plates and bowls hit the ground with a crisp sound.
Cao Yi sobered up.
Seeing Li Xian's furious face, he trembled all over: "I know I'm wrong!"
He instantly understood that Li Xian was trying to show him off.
This banquet is very normal, which general should not win over the generals below by eating, drinking and having fun, otherwise why would they work for you?
You, Li Xian, don't know how to fight, but you want to intervene, because you want Lao Tzu to submit to you.
no way!
"Cao Yi!"
"The commander-in-chief handed over Yingkou to you, because he valued you!"
"It's your chance to be knighted!"
"The battle is imminent, and we will march tomorrow. You are not watching in the army, but drinking and having fun here?"
"If I hand over a memorial to you, Cao Yi, don't talk about the title, even the position of the commander-in-chief will be lost!"
Li Xian roared.
Cao Yi was stunned for a moment, yes, there is Yu Qian behind Li Xian?
Gollum!
He swallowed.
Glancing at the furious Li Xian in horror, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground: "I know I'm wrong! I'm going to reorganize the army now!"
Since Li Xian entered Liaodong, although he came here with the imperial decree, he was gentle and drizzled, and he turned a blind eye to everything.
Everyone in Liaodong laughed at Li Xian as the old man of Dian Dian Ge.
This is the first time Li Xian got angry.
But he wanted to take off the head of Cao Yi, the general soldier of Liaodong.
The most frightening thing is that he moved out of Yu Qian.
In terms of official rank, Yu Qian is higher than Cao Yi, and in terms of military exploits, he is much more than Cao Yi.
If Yu Qian speaks for Li Xian, is Cao Yi still alive?
"Is it wrong?"
"Can a sentence of acknowledgment be exempted from guilt?"
Li Xian glanced at the Liaodong generals: "There are you! The battle is coming, why gather people to drink?"
The soldiers all knelt on the ground.
Naturally, the other generals did not dare to disobey, and knelt on the ground to report: "Before the expedition, the comrades gathered for a banquet. This has been a rule for many years."
"How many years of rules? Does the center know? Does your majesty know?"
Li Xian was furious: "If the Harqin soldiers attacked you while you were drinking, how would you feel?"
"Besides, you have a banquet by yourself, but let the soldiers eat porridge. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will rebel?"
"Mark your mistake!" What did the generals dare to say?
This kind of thing happens all the time, don't you, Li Xian, know?
But today, relying on Yu Qian's power, he dared to attack!Just take it easy on us!
That's right.
Before each battle, the Liaodong Army would have a banquet, and Li Xian was angry in his heart and dared not express it.
Today he will take power.
By the way, he won the heart of the Liaodong general.
Let you know who to rely on.
Li Xian sat down slowly, looking down at Cao Yi, who was kneeling at his feet, and the generals of Liaodong.
Beads of sweat dripped from Cao Yi's nose on the ground.
He understood Li Xian's deep meaning.
Things like banquets can be big or small, the main thing is whether Yu Qian will support Li Xian?
Once Yu Qian backs him up, he won't be able to be the commander-in-chief, and the credit he is about to get is gone, and the title he has been thinking about is completely gone.
In the courtroom, inexplicably fell into a cold silence.
"If you know you're wrong, you have to change it!"
Li Xian said indifferently: "Everyone, hit [-] big boards and demote one level!"
The Liaodong generals opened their eyelids, and some morons wanted to jump up and beat Li Xian to death.
If Li Xian was really beaten to death, it would be a joke.
Cao Yi's whole family will die.
So he kept winking at his subordinates, telling them to be patient for now.
"Master Governor, our army is about to go to the front line."
"If the board is hit, if the general does not charge forward, how can the soldiers behind be willing to sacrifice their lives?"
Cao Yi said urgently: "What's more, this banquet is a feast of beheading!"
"How many people have fought in ancient times!"
"The humble staff is worried about us people. This is the last time we can use and eat well."
"So please, Lord Governor, hold your hand high and give us one last chance to reunite!"
This is bullshit!
How can a general rush to the front in a war?
In that case, the general would have died long ago.
Li Xian stared at Cao Yi, seeing his white hair.
Such a person can put all his eggs in one basket for the title.
If he could be wooed a little bit, this person would be able to help him, and with his help, Cao Yi would be honored as Duke of the State.
"Cao Zongbing, can't the governor punish you?" Li Xian asked.
"My lord governor can be punished or punished, but please put it on the account for the time being, my lord governor. When we come back alive, if we want to be beaten or beaten, we will follow the governor!" Cao Yi said grandly.
What does Li Xian mean, can he not understand?
Even though he is in Liaodong, Shi Ju and Jiao Li will write to him about the affairs in central Beijing, and he knows everything about it.
Shi Ju and Jiao Li were appointed as the generals of the Xuanjia Army.
But he was not allowed to leave Beijing for a long time.
It shows that the emperor was worried about Cao Yi, but his generals Shi Ju and Jiao Li suffered disaster.
Why is the emperor worried about Cao Yi?
Cao Yi has guarded Liaodong for many years and has worked hard. Why did the emperor suspect him?
Cao Yi thought over and over for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion that the emperor was worried that he would draw closer to the civil official group.
At the beginning, it was because of business affairs, but the level of business affairs was average, so he didn't deal with business affairs at all.
Li Xian is different. Li Xian does things quietly, quietly, but secretly.
The emperor was worried that Cao Yi would get close to Li Xian and be taken under Li Xian's command.
From the letters sent by Shi Ju and Jiao Li, the two generals did not hesitate to praise the emperor. It can be seen that the emperor is another Yongle Emperor.
How dare he cross the threshold?
Therefore, even if he was caught by Li Xian, even if Li Xian might have Yu Qian's backing behind him, he would never dare to vomit.
Once surrendered.
The Emperor will surely replace him.
His title will be indefinitely!
The emperor would never promote a military general who took refuge in civil servants, and the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of military generals.
See why Liang Pang is stationed in Jinzhou?
That is to guard against Liaodong.
Once the capital changes, Liang Pang will never return to Beijing, but will only be stationed in Liaodong, making Liaodong as stable as Mount Tai.
The emperor's moves are interlocking.
He, Cao Yi, is just a pawn on the chessboard, dare to change the color of the pawn by himself, and defect to the enemy?
Tired of living!
Cao Yi just kept his head sullen and said nothing.
"I just found out today that the governor has a sharp tongue." Li Xian sneered.
He is a majestic governor of Liaodong, but he can't even eat Cao Yi?
Shang Ren has no ability.
But Li Xian is not an ordinary person. The emperor kicked him to the place because he was afraid of him.
He was in the center, and the emperor never had a day of peace.
"Don't dare!"
Cao Yi is also gambling.
Bet, if Li Xian reports this matter, the emperor will not blame him.
It’s different in the past.
In the past, if you wanted to be knighted, you had to go through the civil service.
Now, the emperor rules the world, the imperial power is in his hands, and it is only necessary for the emperor to move his lips.
"The Governor has learned a lot today!"
Li Xian was furious: "This governor will write a letter to His Majesty, and let His Majesty make a decision!"
"Acknowledge the punishment!" Cao Yi actually didn't want to get so stiff with Li Xian.
We will continue to work together in the future.
The civil and military forces are at the same level, and sooner or later they will be reprimanded by the central government. When the time comes, one of them must be transferred out of the two of them.
Thinking with my toes, I also knew that Cao Yi had been transferred.
Li Xian was indignant.
Whenever Chen Xunshi spoke, these generals would obediently kneel down. Where is it like now, they don't pay attention to his majestic governor at all!
"Cao Zongbing, the commander-in-chief gave you a chance, you have to seize the opportunity, and don't spoil the commander-in-chief's good deeds!" Li Xian left the table angrily.
He is also kind.
In the end, Cao Yi didn't appreciate it, and he didn't want to be his lackey.
Just wait and see!
At dawn the next day, Cao Yi led his army out of the city.
There were still 12 soldiers left in the Liaodong Army, and Li Xian wanted to take some of them away, except for those who were defending various places. Cao Yi could only mobilize 8000 people. It was very difficult to form an encirclement network.
Among the 8000 people, there are [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] Shenji Battalion.
Cao Yi did a detailed sand table exercise.
Split the soldiers into five groups.
Forming a siege net to surround Yingkou, he personally led [-] cavalry and [-] Shenji Battalion, as the central army, to eat the main force of the Karaqin tribe.
Outside Yingkou city.
Bo came to sit in the big tent and drink wine.
"Boss, this city is a tough nut to crack." Bolai's general Gabia said.
Gabia advised in a low voice, "It's better to bypass this city and go to Gaizhou."
Bolai looked unhappy.
Sitting at the bottom, a handsome young man said drunkenly, "Why do you have to go to Gaizhou? We've almost finished the fight. The tribesmen already hate this damn summer and want to go back to the cool grassland."
"What do you know!"
Bo Lai glared at him. This is his cousin Badalkin, who was born in a noble family and is also his confidant.
"Boss, Daming placed Kong's family in Gaizhou, so you want to go to Gaizhou."
Badalkin said with a sneer: "The Kong family is no more than a family slave of three surnames. When I was in power, I bowed my knees to my Kong family."
"Now that Daming has been in the country, he has transformed into a loyal dog of Daming."
"Hmph, now even Daming hates them, so he put them in Liaodong."
"But we have to kill half of Liaodong before we can go to Gaizhou, which is not a shit. What are we going to do? Are we going to kill those trash?"
Bo Lai's eyes were gloomy and cold.
Walking slowly in front of Badalkin, someone brought up a washbasin, and then poured the wine from the jug into the washbasin.
"Boss, these are enough to drink, really enough." Badalkin said with a smile, thinking that this was the good wine given to him by the leader.
Bo Lai suddenly grabbed his head.
Press his head into the basin.
"Woooo!"
Bada screamed incessantly, the more he yelled, the more wine he choked into his mouth.
He coughed, and the wine that choked his nose choked into his lungs, making him even more uncomfortable.
Bada gradually stopped thumping!
Bo Laicai lifted him up and threw him on the ground, his eyes were cold: "Are you awake?"
Bada coughed violently.
Choking blood from the nose.
He quickly knelt on the ground: "Your servant is clear, clear!"
Shivering.
"Get your brain back if you are clear!"
Bada kowtowed non-stop.
After a while, Bo came to let the waiter go down, leaving only his confidant.
Slowly said: "Actually, this leader came to Liaodong."
"The most important thing is not the bitter cold place of Liaodong, let alone the crap of Liaodong."
"It's someone contacting this leader who is willing to pay a higher price."
Bo Lai said slowly.
Bada woke up instantly, and exclaimed, "The Kong family?"
"Yes."
Bo Lai nodded: "It's the Kong family. They found this leader and are willing to pay a high price to save them from the fire."
"What's the price?" Bada asked.
Snapped!
Bo Lai smashed the jug: "The price was negotiated, but the leader entered Liaodong, and they disappeared instead!"
"This leader has been tricked!"
"They don't really want to negotiate with our Harqin Department at all!"
Bada looked at him with "you're so stupid" eyes.
Bo Lai said that the Kong family sent him a thousand iron pots.
"So much?" Bada was dumbfounded.
"They promised that after the matter is completed, they are willing to pay 100 million taels of silver and a large number of firearms. Do you think this leader can not be tempted?"
Bo Lai was indignant: "But the Kong family has disappeared, and we can't contact them no matter what!"
"So, this leader wants to break Gaizhou."
"Catch Kong and force them to come up with something!"
Bada understood: "Why didn't the leader say it earlier?"
Bo Lai's eyes flickered: "Ming people are weak, and Liaodong is empty. Let's grab enough. When we go back, we can take down the Kong family and extort 100 million taels of silver. Why not?"
"Chief Shengming!" Bada cupped his hands.
"Leader tell me how to fight, my Gabia's life is the leader's!" Gabia didn't understand twists and turns, and laughed strangely.
Bo came to the sand table and looked at it for a long time: "Yingkou is the only way to Gaizhou. If you can't break through Yingkou, you can't enter Gaizhou."
"Gabbia, this leader will give you one day."
"At all costs, break Yingkou!"
"Break Yingkou, you are allowed to have fun for a day and a night, and the knife will not be sealed."
Bo Lai said coldly.
Gabia said happily, "Thank you, Chief, for your kindness!"
The brothers held back for a long time, and wanted to go in and kill a pass.
"Tell the brothers, everyone save some energy. After breaking through Yingkou, then break through Gaizhou. The saber will still not be sealed. In the end, we will go home!" Bo Lai said harshly.
Yingkou was stormed.
Shi Jia, the city guard general, is Shi Ju's younger brother.
Because Gaizhou was guarded, Jiao Sheng was stationed in Gaizhou, Jiao Qian was guarding Shimen Pass, and Shi Yu was guarding Yingkou, which can be regarded as surrounding Gaizhou into an iron bucket.
After the Liangfangkou Pass was conquered, the city of Yingkou was exposed to the enemy's soldiers.
Shi Jia knew that Yingkou was in crisis.
However, Liaodong was cut off, and Yingkou's support came from the sea. Shi Zhen deliberately divided his troops to garrison the mouth of the Liaohe River, and the support from the sea must not be cut off.
Yingkou can hold on for such a long time.
All by sea support.
A steady stream of ordnance from Shandong was transported into Yingkou.
But starting early this morning, Yingkou encountered an unprecedented onslaught.
"The Tartars are in a hurry!" Shi Geng's mouth was full of foam, and he was in a hurry.
His official robe is full of dirt, and he has no time to deal with it.
He traveled to and from the four walls, and he felt at ease after seeing the defense of the walls himself.
Sitting in the tent covered in sweat.
Regardless of the heat, Yingkou crisis, he must hold on.
"Master Tongzhi, the north city wall is in danger!" The messenger came to report.
"Take people from the southern city wall!"
The commander next to him, Shen Si'en, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the southern city wall is not guarded by many troops. If the Tartars go around the southern city wall, the city will be destroyed in an instant."
"What can you do?" Shi Zheng looked at Shen Sien.
Shen Si'en was a Jurchen, whose father was naturalized in the Yongle Dynasty, and after his father's death, he assumed the position of commander.
"The general is willing to lead people to defend the city!" Shen Sien knelt on the ground.
Defending the city, I'm afraid it's a narrow escape.
But as long as the city is defended, they are all great achievements.
Li Xian kept sending orders to appease them, telling them that the central government had sent troops to rescue them. They had learned from the waterway that Liang Pang's army was in Liaodong and was looking for the main force of the enemy.
Even, the emperor personally sent an imperial decree, telling Yingkou to guard, Liaodong to guard, and the court reinforcements will arrive soon.
The imperial decree written by the emperor is hung on the city gate tower, where all soldiers can see it.
Therefore, Yingkou and the cities of Liaodong can still persevere.
Just because there is still a glimmer of hope.
"Shen Si'en, as long as you survive, you will be my life-and-death brother Shi Zhen!" Shi Zhen was also ready to die for the country.
His elder brother Shi Ju wrote to him saying that his two sons have both entered the lecture hall, and their future prospects are limitless.
Others can surrender, but he must not surrender!
"Thank you Tongzhi for your promotion!"
Shen Si'en went out of the account and ordered troops from the city to support the north wall.
But when he reached the city wall, he found that the urn had been broken.
He had to organize the retreating people and defend the inner city wall.
Yingkou is not under the enemy's front.
So the city fell into disrepair for a long time, and the Wengcheng was only built.
Before that, the Karaqin tribe was reluctant to take their lives.
So it can't be conquered for a long time.
Now, Bo Lai has become ruthless, and has changed his riding into a step, filling his life, and conquering Yingkou is just around the corner.
Shen Sien stood on the city wall and directed it himself.
Still maintain the morale of the army.
But the defenders felt the enemy's firm confidence and vowed to break through the city.
"Brothers, hold on!" Shen Si'en was hit by an arrow.
"Don't be afraid of them all, they are attacking and we are defending, so be afraid!"
Shen Sien yelled: "As long as you hold on, everyone will be meritorious!"
"The emperor's grandfather's imperial decree is watching us!"
but.
The enemy attacked too hard.
Filled the moat with human life, then climbed up the city and conquered the urn.
Now there are warriors, regardless of life and death, climbing to the top of the city.
Bolai looked from behind.
Every time a pawn died, he was in pain.
These are good cavalry.
But died on the siege.
In this battle, more than 3000 people may be killed or injured. This is the worst battle he has fought since his debut.
This is also Bolai's first time to siege a city with his life.
He also wanted to drive the nearby people to attack the city.
But his subordinates had already killed all the people in the village. Apart from the city, Liaodong was deserted for thousands of miles, only flies wandering around countless corpses.
"Master Tongzhi, a section of the east wall has collapsed!"
Shi Jing stood up abruptly.
Looking at the general field, there are very few soldiers who can be transferred.
All the generals around him were dispatched.
"Put armor on this fellow!"
Shi Jian's eyes were firm: "If the city is here, I know that I am here; if the city is dead, I will know that I am dead!"
He led the last remaining twenty or so people to block the collapsed part of the city wall with arrogance and arrogance.
There are 7000 soldiers guarding the city of Yingkou.
After fighting for more than two hours, there were only more than 4000 people left, all of whom were injured.
A section of the city wall collapsed, and a section was blocked.
It's all filled with life.
Finally waited until the enemy temporarily retreated.
The Huotou army distributed dry food to them, all of which were white flour steamed buns.
This is a decapitated meal.
Shi Zheng opened the warehouse, let people cook all the good things, and gave the brothers a last meal.
After eating, die for the country with the city!
However, no soldier in Yingkou wanted to surrender.
Because on the top of the city gate, there is an imperial edict written by the emperor's grandfather. The emperor's grandfather told them that I am watching you from the center, and you are all heroes of Ming Dynasty!
After the war, I will reward you all!
In the entire Liaodong, only coastal cities such as Yingkou and Gaizhou can still communicate with the central.
The emperor issued an imperial decree in his own handwriting, ordering Liaodong to stick to it.
"My lord!"
There was a burst of mournful crying in the army.
When Shi Geng was carried out, he was covered in blood. There was a big hole in his stomach, and the blood flowed continuously.
"Why the hell are you crying? I'm not dead yet?"
Shi Geng grinned at them: "There is no need to treat Lao Tzu's wounds, just carry Lao Tzu to the city wall. If I die, I will die on the city wall!"
The soldiers on the east wall cried bitterly.
Shi Jian is not a general, but he has a good reputation in the Yingkou army, and the whole army is willing to listen to his orders.
Because he likes to gamble, he lost all his monthly salary, and then he tried to get money, and all the money he got went into the pockets of soldiers, because he would lose every bet, and he gambled every day.
In this way, Wei Wei formed a good reputation, and the whole army was willing to listen to his orders and obey him.
"Do it!" Shi Geng was in too much pain and didn't want to speak.
He wanted to die on the wall.
Let the emperor's grandfather take a look, I am worthy of the emperor's grace to sacrifice my life for the country!
Just after taking a bite of rice, the soldiers from the Karaqin tribe came over again.
A completely reckless onslaught.
"A bunch of useless Tartars! Hahaha!"
Standing on the city wall, Shi Geng laughed loudly, and pushed away the soldiers supporting him:
He shouted loudly: "I'm dead, and I won't let you conquer the city! The emperor's grandpa's decree is not worthy for you to read! Hahaha!"
The laughter went straight to the sky.
But it also angered the Karaqin tribe, and the soldiers attacked Shi Jia like a tide.
"Don't worry about me, defend the city! Defend the city!"
Boom!
Shi Jian's voice stopped abruptly.
The eastern wall was captured.
Harqin soldiers poured into the city like a tide.
Shi Geng was buried in the ruins, but stared blankly at the imperial decree on the gate tower: "I, I am guilty..."
Da Da Da Da!
But at this moment, the urgent sound of horseshoes came from the sky.
The sound of hooves was messy and hasty.
The Harqin soldiers who had rushed into the city wall looked back as if they were frightened.
At the same time, horns sounded from the Harqin camp, ordering the whole army to return to the camp.
The Harqin soldiers didn't know why, so they all cursed the camp in a low voice, and then reluctantly withdrew from the city.
"Same knowledge!"
The soldiers who were still alive dug Shi Jia out of the bricks.
"Tell the city walls that reinforcements are coming!" Shi Zhen held his last breath.
"Physician! Physician, come to save people!" The soldiers cried loudly.
Shi Geng's eyes were fixed on the outside of the city.
The gap in the collapsed city can be seen rolling up dust and smoke, which is the cavalry reinforcements.
He just watched steadily.
Want to know, who is coming!
When a figure approached this section of the city wall, he saw clearly that it was Cao Yi, General Soldier of Liaodong.
A smile curled up at the corner of Shi Jian's mouth, and then he slowly closed his eyes.
Your Majesty, Yingkou, I have defended, and I have lived up to your high expectations...
Shi Yu lost his breath.
"My lord!"
In Yingkou City, there were mournful cries.
The Harqin tribe harassed Liaodong, and the commander Tongzhi who died in battle, Shi Jia was the fourth.
A total of 12 commanders died in battle.
"Shi Jia!"
Cao Yi pushed away the surrounding soldiers and walked in front of Shi Jia, tears streaming down his face: "Where is the doctor! Treat him, treat him quickly! After he is cured, I will give you the position of Liaodong General Soldier." Let me do it for you!"
Brothers Shi Ju and Shi Jia, he was the one who watched them grow up.
He also picked it up with one hand.
Cao Yi thought that although Shi Ju and Jiao Li were aliens, they had a heart of loyalty. After his death, these two people would be able to guard Liaodong for the court.
Shi Geng doesn't have much talent, that is, he is a commander.
But he is loyal and reliable, and what is told to him can be done even in death.
Cao Yi stood up slowly, and the wind blew away his tears: "Send down the order to attack the Karaqin camp. I want to kill the Tartars and bury my Ming soldiers!"
The cavalry is like the wind, attacking and killing those soldiers who abandon their horses and change their steps.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bo Lai ordered the cavalry to confront the Liaodong cavalry.
The two cavalry were like a torrent.
The unlucky one was the infantry, who was sandwiched between two groups of cavalry and instantly became flesh.
At least a thousand people died in this rush.
"Where did the Ming army come from?"
Bo Lai yelled, "Didn't you fucking eat? Gabia, bring troops to charge me! Kill them!"
but.
The Liaodong Army may not be much worse.
Especially when the Liaodong Army is fighting against the same enemy, morale can eliminate the difference in riding skills.
At least one for one, one for one, one for life, one will still be able to.
In an instant, outside the city of Yingkou, it became a pool of blood. Countless horses fell to the ground, and the cavalrymen were thrown away, and finally they were trampled into flesh by the horses behind.
"Quick, build the city wall, quick!"
Cao Yi is not crazy.
It was the city of Yingkou that Shi Geng saved with his life.
He would never allow Shi Jia's life to be lost in vain.
When he saw the city of Yingkou being rebuilt, Bolai knew that he had hit the trick, but at this time Mingjin would withdraw his troops, and he might suffer a huge loss.
I can only grit my teeth and fight.
Bo Lai couldn't figure it out, where did the strong army come from?
This group of cavalry, with slightly poor riding skills, is also an elite unit of the Ming army.
The Ming army had only [-] cavalry in Liaodong, how could it be willing to spend it?
Moreover, these Ming troops were all trapped in the city, how could they suddenly leave the city?
Could this be reinforcements from the Ming army?
Where did it come from?
Bolai couldn't understand it.
And on the battlefield, there is a new turning point.
Just when the Karaqin army broke through the cavalry formation of the Ming army, it was at a critical moment.
The Shenji Battalion of the Liaodong Army went around behind the Karaqin cavalry, fired at the cavalry, ran away after the fight, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
Directly overwhelm the Karaqin army that overwhelmed the Ming cavalry.
Bo Lai can only call gold to withdraw troops.
Not to mention the useless fight in this battle, the losses were heavy.
At least eight thousand soldiers were lost.
He had only 5000 people in total, and lost 8000 in one breath, leaving only [-].
But the Ming army was not feeling well either.
This new cavalry was almost washed out and lost.
When Cao Yi withdrew his troops, he almost choked on tears. He gathered [-] cavalry, but all of them were wounded and could not fight at all.
Fortunately, the Ming army was defending the city.
Injuries can be transported into the city.
Fortunately, Yingkou has stockpiled a large amount of medicinal materials, all of which were transported from Shandong, and can be used to treat wounded soldiers.
With [-] cavalry, the battle was defeated.
Fortunately, the city was re-fortified, and the Karaqin tribe had to weigh it if they wanted to break the Yingkou city again.
Cao Yi still has [-] Divine Machine Battalions available.
"Bolai is indeed here!"
Cao Yi ignored the sadness, walked to the sand table, and began to ponder.
"Why do they insist on Yingkou?" Cao Yi couldn't figure it out.
"Master Chief Soldier!"
Shen Si'en was covered with injuries, but he was still holding on. He had tears in his eyes: "Master Shi Tongzhi once found a large number of iron pots on a group of bodyguards. It is said that they were transported to the north."
Cao Yi's face changed slightly, smuggling in the army has been repeatedly prohibited.
Could it be that the general of the Liaodong Army did it?
"Tell me in detail."
According to Shen Sien's knowledge, these iron pots came from the sea.
shipped to the north.
Shi Geng began to suspect that this was transported to Fushun Mashi.
Cao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't as good as the Liaodong Army's, it would be difficult to save him.
"As a result, not long after these iron pots were transported, the Harqin tribe came to Liaodong!" Shen Si'en cried.
"What did you say?" Cao Yi exclaimed.
"The person from the Escort Bureau was originally detained in the camp. Later, someone had a warrant from the governor of Liaodong and asked us to release him. We were forced to release him."
Governor of Liaodong?Li Xian?
Cao Yi's eyes lit up, Li Xian actually participated in smuggling?
This is a good opportunity.
Didn't Li Xian want to pinch him? Couldn't he take the opportunity to pinch Li Xian instead?
Li Xian is the representative of the Civil Service Group, with his help, coupled with the favor of the Holy One, maybe he can be directly crowned Marquis.
During his lifetime, that's all he wanted.
"Have you ever seen an iron pot after that?" Cao Yi asked again.
"That Escort has been transporting iron pots all the time."
"What bodyguard?"
"Changfeng Escort."
Cao Yi ordered someone to write it down. He wanted to check with his colleagues in Shandong, and then see where the iron pots went, and what did they have to do with Li Xian?
"Don't tell anyone else about this matter. The commander-in-chief suspects that these iron pots were transported to Tatar, so you have to report to the Holy Majesty before you can act!" Cao Yi threatened Shen Si'en.
"Mark compliance."
When Shen Sien heard the Holy Majesty, she was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground and repeatedly said yes.
However, Cao Yi thought about it. Can he use this to handle Li Xian?
"You go to rest and recuperate first, there may be battles to be fought!"
Cao Yi snorted coldly: "Bo came to kill the old man's nephew, and the old man will kill him with his head!"
in fact.
His plans had gone awry.
It was originally intended to encircle the Harqin tribe.
He got hot in the head and avenged Shi Jia, but he knocked himself down first.
As a result, his Liaodong army was stretched. When the encirclement was completed, he didn't have enough cavalry. How could he eat up the main force?
You can't use the Shenji Battalion to chase the cavalry, that is to deliver food to the cavalry.
But Cao Yi was so focused on bringing down Li Xian that he didn't notice this loophole at all.
