I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 524 each with their own minds

The army is now stationed in Fushun. If they must attack, Mang Gurtai will not be able to hold out for long with weapons like the Krug Cannon.

But Chen Liangbi was not in a hurry, and felt like he was ready for a protracted war.

This is mainly because time is on their side, and they might as well take this opportunity to consume the Jianlu troops. Since they can hone the strength of the Beijing camp, they can also get in touch with the Han army.

Of course, he actually has unspeakable reasons or selfish motives.

The righteous words he said before, what he said about saving the Liao people from fire and water, these words were true and sincere at the time.But when he went to Shenyang and thought about it slowly, his mind gradually changed.

The Liao people in Jianlu did not respect kings, and most of them came to Jianlu from the Ming Dynasty.Now we build captives, remove mills and kill donkeys, exploit these people in every possible way, and even abandon them.

Now that the imperial court knew about it, in order to win over the Liao people and improve their prestige, it was not impossible to save them.

But if you save everything wholeheartedly, it will actually be a troublesome matter.

Not to mention that there might be some Jianlu spies inside, but even though the Jianlu were short of food and grass, the Ming Dynasty was not very rich in money and food either.

Liaodong suffered a severe drought last year, and a lot of grain and grass still needed help from the customs.

There were no fewer than 10 Liao people in Jianlu. If all these people were rescued, it would be equivalent to hundreds of thousands more mouths to eat.

This is really a troublesome matter for both the Liaodong Dusi and the imperial court, not to mention the countless issues such as public security, resettlement, and land.

Therefore, Chen Liangbi would never do anything like converting Jianlu's troubles into Ming Dynasty's own troubles.Even though he knew that the emperor would not hesitate to save these Liao people if he knew about it, but as a "close minister" of the emperor, he must definitely solve this trouble for the emperor and not let the emperor worry too much about this matter.

So now he seems to be going all out to attack, but he is not in a hurry at all.

Now we are attacking Mang Gurtai in Fushun. I hope Mang Gurtai can be more forceful and delay the attack as long as possible.Anyway, he had already sent troops, under the pretext of saving the Liao people, so the Liao people had no way of blaming the imperial court.

The longer the "Liao Massacre Order" of Jianlu lasts, the fewer the number of Liao people in Jianlu will be, and the deeper their resentment towards Jianlu will be.In the future, it will be easier for the imperial court to govern Liaodong. Chen Liangbi will naturally not give up such an opportunity to win three birds with one stone.

Of course, if the Liao people who were building the captives could resist the rebels, they might come over and join the imperial court themselves.Then he will not only save, but also entrust him with important tasks, and the rest can only be left to fate.

Chen Liangbi was very patient, but the soldiers and horses in Saarhu were not.

After hearing Mang Gurtai's report, Nurhachi was also secretly shocked that the Ming army had arrived so quickly.

Therefore, Mang Gurtai specifically mentioned that when the Ming army had artillery to attack the city, he made a prompt decision and immediately asked Li Yongfang to lead the Han army and Zhenghongqi to form the first wave of reinforcements and rush to support.

This is also the opportunity he has dreamed of. The terrain of Fushun is high in the southeast and low in the northwest. Fushun City is built on the high southeast slope.He believed that it would not be easy for the Ming army to attack.

After the Han army arrived, they cooperated with Zhenglan Qi and others, and they could delay the attack for at least seven or eight days.This is enough for him to assemble the army and lead a large army to rescue. When the time comes, he will cooperate with Mang Gurteri to reverse the situation and recreate the victory of Sarhu.

It's just that this is not only the opportunity that he dreams of, but also the opportunity that the Han army dreams of.Liu Xingzuo and others originally thought that the imperial court would not send troops, but they did not expect that just two days later, they received Nurhachi's military order.It is said that the army is attacking and has already arrived at Fushun City. They are now required to set off quickly and set up a red flag to garrison Fushun.

Upon seeing this, Chen Liangce immediately discussed with Liu Xingzuo and decided to go to Fushun first and contact the imperial troops.

"This time the Khan has ordered that all Han soldiers will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. If they can capture the heads of Ming soldiers, there will be additional rewards. Please do your best and don't betray the Khan's trust."

Listening to Liu Yongfang's words, although Chen Liangce and others sneered in their hearts, they had smiles on their faces.

"These rewards must have been invited by Li Efu. Once the news spreads, the morale of our Han army will be greatly boosted. We would like to thank Li Efu very much."

"No, you can talk. This is the first time that our Han army has sent troops. If you try your best and do not bring down the reputation of our Han army, not only the Khan, but I will also give you another reward."

Chen Liangce's words obviously greatly benefited Li Yongfang.

Now the situation of the Liao people in Dajin is not good, and the Han army is his biggest support.He naturally hopes that the Han army can achieve some results. The greater the contribution, the higher his status. He still understands this truth.

The military situation was urgent, so Li Yongfang and others did not waste any time. They immediately organized their troops and horses, and left the Jiefan camp the next day for Fushun City.

Fushun is only fifty miles away from Sarhu, so the distance between the two places is not far.

As soon as they passed the Fushun Great Wall, they encountered scattered cavalry of the Ming army.What's strange is that the Ming army didn't stop them when they saw them. Instead, they scouted and watched from a distance and did not engage in battle.

Although Li Yongfang didn't understand what this meant, rescuing Fushun was the most important thing now. As long as these Ming troops didn't harass them, he didn't bother to care about these Ming cavalry.Heading directly south from the south bank of the Hun River, it only takes two days to arrive in Fushun.

But when he wasn't paying attention, a few people in the team quietly fell behind.

"The soldiers of Liu Xingzuo, the infantry commander of the Han army who was a low-ranking official, finally saw the official army today."

In the large tent of the Ming Army's Central Army, Chen Liangbi and the general soldiers of the Beijing camp were stationed in different places. They looked at the Jianlu Han soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with expressionless faces.

"Why haven't you contacted the court during this period, and why has it taken so long?"

Seeing that Chen Liangce and others from the Jianlu Han Army finally sent people over, Lu Dongjie breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked about the reason.

"I would also like to ask you to be clear-minded. Nowadays, the "grain payment order" is implemented for the internal funds of the captives. All Liao people below Wu Dou Valley are executed, and all Liao people above Wu Dou Valley pay rations and are sent to the farm as slaves.

Both the artillery commander Chen Liangce and the infantry commander Liu Xingzuo hated what they had done to build the captives, but they could do nothing.Our Han army was also closely monitored by people sent by Lao Nu, and we did not dare to make any changes at all.Thanks to the imperial army's arrival at Fushun City, the old slave was forced to let us send troops to rescue Fushun.

We also know that this is an excellent opportunity. Now Mang Gurtai is in Fushun City, and there are also elites from Zhenglan Banner and Xianghong Banner in the city.Therefore, Commander Liu asked us to secretly meet with the Governor on the road and ask for instructions on how to cooperate with the imperial army inside and outside to capture Fushun City.
