I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 133 Emergency Military Information (Please subscribe)
The battle was still going on. When He Shixian saw that Daishan wanted to run away, he was furious. However, he was restrained by the Zhenghongqi ginseng leader and was unable to escape for a while. He could only watch as Daishan quickly evacuated under the cover of his subordinates.

He immediately took out his anger on the person in front of him, and immediately swung an iron whip at the counselor leader, trying to knock him to the ground, and then chased Daishan.

It's just that the counselor was also a person with strong martial arts skills. He turned sideways and avoided He Shixian's attack, and also slashed at He Shixian with his own bodyguards.

There were more and more Ming troops fighting with He Shixian inside the fence. Seeing this, He Shixian's servants also came over to help. The military commander was unable to resist for a moment. He Shixian caught an opening and hit his arm with an iron whip, which caused splitting pain. , suddenly unable to bear any strength, he was slashed by the servant, his blood burst and he fell to the ground.

"Horse, bring my horse and chase it quickly."

Upon seeing this, all the servants wanted to find horses and chased with He Shixian. However, You Shigong, who was fighting at this time, heard that He Shixian was about to charge, and hurried over and shouted:

"Commander, no. I see that Daishan retreated in an orderly manner. Don't pursue them blindly. You forgot the imperial envoy's instructions and don't pursue them in depth. It's better to clear out the soldiers in the fence and reorganize the defense to prevent the enemy from attacking." The army of prisoners invaded again."

He Shixian seemed a little jealous now. He didn't want to listen to You Shigong's dissuasion at first, but when he mentioned Yang Lian's instructions, he calmed down instantly. What happened today was really thanks to Yang Lian's instructions, otherwise he would have made a big mistake. , His instructions must be obeyed now.

"Okay, just follow what the deputy commander said, quickly clear out the captives outside the city, don't neglect it."

Seeing this, all the servants obeyed the order one after another. You Shigong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Shixian obeying the advice.

The Jianlu soldiers behind the fence saw the dead leader of the Zhenghong Banner, and their morale suddenly plummeted. However, most of them were elite Baja soldiers of the Eight Banners, so naturally they would not surrender and would fight to the end.

He Shixian and others also spent a lot of time dealing with these people, and then began to clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and repair the fence and camp again, which was also a lot of work.

Yang Lian was not idle now. He could clearly see the battle situation of Heshun on the city wall. When he saw He Shixian leading his servants to attack, he quickly had Heshun brought to the city for treatment, who was seriously injured.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I just led people to stare at the mansion of the Liaozhong clan in the city. I found that one family was taking advantage of the military turmoil outside and moving around in the mansion abnormally. So I led people in and found that they were preparing weapons. So I respectfully followed your order and led people to Their house was confiscated."

At this time, Lu Guangguo, a member of the Jinyiwei family, was reporting to Yang Lian about the spies.

"Very well, don't show mercy to these people. It will serve as a warning to the monkeys. Also, who arranged the spies at the south gate? Have you found out?"

Looking at Lu Guangguo, who still had blood stains on his body, Yang Lian nodded with satisfaction and then asked again.

"Hmm, I sent someone to the garrison to check the city patrol arrangements for tonight. I found that the Baha tribe of Mongolian soldiers who will help defend the south gate today. I have sent someone to capture Baha. They haven't returned yet. If I have any news, I always report it to you."

"Well, now that Jianlu can't make a sneak attack, I'm afraid he will gather a large army to attack again, so you must pay attention to the spies in the city. Not every time you will be as lucky as this time."

Lu Guangguo nodded, what happened today was too dangerous, and he was also sweating.

Watching He Shixian and others cleaning the battlefield below, Yang Lian started busy arranging things after giving instructions, helping to treat the wounded and counting casualties, which was a lot of work.

Early the next morning, garrison mansion.

"Has the messenger asking for help left?"

"There was a war last night, so the beacon fire was approaching, and a messenger was sent out. If you hurry, we will return to Hupiyi tonight, and we can reach Liaoyang tomorrow."

"That's good. Daishan's raid may be just a prelude. Lao Nu may lead a team to follow closely. I'm afraid there will be a big war in a few days."

Yang Lian, He Shixian, You Shigong and others were discussing matters in the main hall of Shenyang.Seeing He Shixian's analysis that there would be war ahead, Yang Lian nodded in agreement.

"Then we still need to continue to repair the fortifications. The fences and trenches outside the city were burned last night and are already somewhat damaged. The repairs now can be regarded as repairs. It is not too late and it can still have some effect."

"Yes, I have ordered people to repair it."

You Shigong is a very attentive person. He seems to have thought of this and made arrangements in advance to do it.After saying this, he glanced at He Shixian, and immediately stood up with He Shixian and other generals, bowed to Yang Lian and said:
"Your Majesty, please accept my respect. It was true that we were greedy last night and almost missed a big event. If you hadn't done your duty and found out the clues, it's not certain whether Shenyang can be saved now, and we would have been punished with death." ”

After saying this, all the generals bowed to Yang Lian.

"Oh, what is this?"

Upon seeing this, Yang Lian stood up quickly, helped He Shixian and You Shigong up, and asked everyone to get up quickly.

"We are all in Shenyang. Now that the war is about to begin, we must work together. After the war, I will definitely ask for credit for you."

Seeing that Yang Lian did not blame them, the generals breathed a sigh of relief. They thanked Yang Lian and stood up and sat down.

"How were the casualties last night? I said I would pay heavily for the soldiers last night. We will do it today. The war is about to begin. We must not make a mistake now."

Seeing Yang Lian asking like this, He Shixian also smiled.

"The imperial envoy did not know that Daishan not only failed to succeed last night, but also suffered a lot of casualties. In order to attack the city in one fell swoop this time, he brought all the elite Baya soldiers. If he returns with such casualties, he will definitely be reprimanded by the old slave. In the future The strength of the combat troops will also be reduced a lot."

"Oh?"

These words instantly made Yang Lian interested.

"Yesterday, the main casualties of our army were the Jing'an Camp and Wusheng Camp stationed outside the city. They were successfully attacked by Daishan, killing and injuring more than 200 people. However, the casualties of Jianlu were also heavy. According to the identification of corpses on the battlefield, one person died in the battle. There are more than 600 people, including [-] white Baya soldiers, more than [-] red Baya soldiers, and more than [-] other armored soldiers."

Yang Lian now also knows about the organizational system of Jianlu, and understands that Jianlu has a basic unit of 300 people per Niulu. Each Niulu has only ten Bai Baya La soldiers and 40 Red Baya La soldiers. It can be seen that it is a Niulu army. The best part.

Now, 200 white Baya soldiers died in the battle, and more than [-] red Baya soldiers died in the battle, not counting the remaining armored soldiers, which means that at least twelve Niulu soldiers have lost their fighting strength.

You must know that the current Eight Banners only has 230 Niulu, and now more than ten Niulu have been abolished in one battle, which will definitely make Nurhaci feel distressed.

"It's a pity that Yue Tuo is gone. He Shun said that he has already pushed Yue Tuo into a desperate situation. He is just missing the last point. Otherwise, capturing Yue Tuo will be a great achievement."

You Shigong regretfully added that Yue Tuan was Nurhachi's grandson. If he killed him and reported it to the court, the reward would be generous.

"It's okay. He was lucky yesterday, and his father will definitely not be able to get away from it in the future. However, you all made outstanding achievements in battle yesterday. I will report to the court and report your merits to you. At the same time, I will prepare a treasury to reward everyone." Yang Lian Seeing this, he nodded happily, but when he mentioned the reward, He Shixian frowned secretly.

There was no other reason. Naturally, he had calculated it. According to Yang Lian's original reward standard of 30 taels of silver for killing a person, double the amount for general officers, 20 taels for injury, and 50 taels for death in battle.

The amount of this amount of killing enemies and pensions is about 25 taels. This money can't help but make He Shixian feel distressed. If it is paid out like this, what will happen to the rewards originally planned for the Shenyang soldiers.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, after a rough calculation, the amount of the pension is as high as 25 taels, so the general feels that we should postpone the payment or discount it in half. This was also the case in the past, and there were even cases where there was no payment. If we have this money, we might as well give it Distributing rewards to the entire army can also encourage war.”

As soon as these words came out, You Shigong and others nodded. That is, the pension was only given to the soldiers who fought, and many troops who did not fight could only watch. Moreover, the money was not enough, and the New Year's Day rewards could not be distributed, and other soldiers would definitely be dissatisfied.

Yang Lian stroked his beard when he heard this, his face was solemn, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly answered:
"No, the war is coming, and now is the time for the soldiers to work hard. If they break their trust now, they will be disappointed, and they will no longer expect any rewards in the future, which will affect their morale."

"But now Shenyang's treasury is only 40 taels, including the full salary you brought over. If the pension is given, what about the New Year's Day reward?"

Yang Lian waved his hand.

"This matter is not urgent. If I don't have the money, I will ask Governor Xiong for it. If Governor Xiong doesn't have it, I will ask for it from His Majesty. In short, don't worry about the money. I will take care of it myself, and I will definitely not chill the hearts of the soldiers."

These words made You Shigong and others look ashamed, and they respected Yang Lian even more.

At this moment, Lu Guangguo, a member of Jinyiwei Baihu, walked in. Upon seeing this, Yang Lian greeted him directly.

"If the thorough investigation of spies has come to fruition, let's talk about it in this hall."

Lu Guangguo nodded when he saw this. He only took orders from Yang Lian in Shenyang. Since Yang Lian said it, he had nothing to do.

"I found out that it was more than 200 taels of gold from the spies who had collected money before and after the Mongolian army surrendered to Baha. I took seven spies in and arranged to guard the South Gate with the Zuo Banner Battalion. That's why this big incident happened. disaster."

"That bitch Baha, it's a shame that I trust him so much, and he's cheating on me like this."

He Shixian was furious when he heard this and immediately cursed. Although Xiong Tingbi warned repeatedly not to blindly trust the surrendered Mongolian tribes, He Shixian still reused him in order to supplement his combat power. It was just Baha, which almost caused a catastrophe.

"Forget it, now that I've caught you, let's take this as a warning and be more careful. Don't do it again in the future."

Yang Lian didn't want to care about this matter, so he waved his hand and dismissed it, and immediately continued to discuss the city defense matters with He Shixian and others to see if there was anything missing.
-
After the messenger from Shenyang left Shenyang City, he traveled through the starry night and rushed to Liaoyang.When passing by Hupiyi, he also informed Chen Ce and others about the attack in Shenyang, so that they could prepare in advance.

Chen Ce also received the beacon warning and knew that Liaoyang was under attack. He immediately ordered his troops to prepare for war and prepare for war. He was ready to wait for orders from Liaoyang and march to Shenyang.

In Liaoyang City, the atmosphere of the New Year is still there. People on the street meet and congratulate each other, and the joy of the New Year is still beyond words.

There were also children playing and setting off firecrackers on the street, and there were people selling food and New Year's goods, which was quite lively.

"Get out of the way~ Get out of the way~ Shenyang emergency military situation!"

A fast horse passed quickly on the street, shouting for pedestrians to get out of the way.Passers-by quickly ducked away, looking at the messenger speeding by, and started talking about it.

"The Chinese New Year is still uneasy, so why is there such an important military situation that we are so urgent about?"

"Needless to say, it must be the Jianlu invaders. The Jianlu are not here for the New Year. It's not a good time to attack. It's really unlucky to attack at this time. It's unlucky to live in the New Year."

A middle-aged businessman sighed when he saw this.

"This is not a common thing. The war has not stopped in the past few years. It is better to make plans early and leave this place of trouble."

A man dressed as a scholar had long thought of leaving Liaodong and made suggestions.

These words opened up the conversation, and everyone stopped thinking about celebrating the New Year and started talking one after another.

In the Liaodong Dusi Yamen, Xiong Tingbi looked at the report in his hand, his face wrinkled, he looked at the messenger and asked:

"How was the situation in Shenyang when you left?"

"Reporting to the governor, when I was leaving, I saw Daishan, the leader of the captives, retreating with the captives. General He said that thousands of enemies were injured in this battle. Further reports will be coming soon."

"Okay, I understand, you can go down and rest for now."

The messenger immediately left, and Xiong Tingbi began to pace in the main hall and think about it. Li Bingcheng, the commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, stood up and said:
"Sir Governor, Jianlu actually sent Daishan to attack in a sneak attack. Although it failed, the old slave will not give up. The plan for now is to have Fengjibao and Hupiyi send troops to join forces in Shenyang to prevent Shenyang from being lost."

Xiong Tingbi thought for a moment, shook his head and said:

"Now that there is no trace of the old slave, it would be inappropriate to hastily send troops from two places. For the current plan, only Hupiyi will send troops. Fengji Fort is also at the forefront and cannot be moved lightly. In addition, Liaoyang will send another [-] troops to garrison at Hupiyi. To prevent the rebels from cutting off their retreat."

Li Bingcheng nodded when he heard this. Hupiyi's troops are also elite. With him, Shenyang will be fine. If Lao Nu attacks Fengji Fort, then Liaoyang and Hupiyi's soldiers will go to rescue them, and everything will be fine.

"Yes, Jianlu will not let go if he suffers a loss, but Shenyang Yishou is in for a good show. As long as he can defeat Jianlu, he will be safe for at least half a year."

Li Bingcheng continued to analyze, and Xiong Tingbi remained silent. He knew the result of victory, but he also knew the result of failure. Once Shenyang was lost, Liaoyang would be in ruins, so Shenyang could not lose.

So he immediately followed the plan just now and asked Li Bingcheng and others to quickly go and make arrangements without making any mistakes.

And he also returned to the document and began to write the memorial with his head down.

He understood that Zhu Youxiao attached great importance to the war in Liaodong, so he wrote down the information in his hands in detail and told the full details. Of course, in the end, he had to cry to the emperor for his poverty. The money was spent on military pay last time, and now there is another war. It’s not time to send more.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who had no idea that someone would report to him that the war was about to start and asked him for money, was entertaining courtiers in the Forbidden City to spend New Year's Day together.

　I'm really sorry. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I've been busy all day, so I can only update once. Normal updates will resume tomorrow!
