Ming politicians

(Thanks to Tianhan Hongye for casting a valuable monthly ticket, and thank you for choosing to take the middle route, thank you.)

On July 15th, the 1642th year of Chongzhen, that is, in [-] AD, the decisive battle between Ming Dynasty and Houjin officially started.

Su Tiancheng, who was in Dengzhou, issued an order on behalf of the imperial court. From this day onwards, the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp stationed in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, and Fuzhou, the Yulin Camp and the Frontier Army stationed in Liaodong, and the soldiers stationed in Datong The frontier army began to devote all their efforts to the decisive battle against Houjin.That is to say, from this time on, the imperial court could not directly "intervene" in the battle against Hou Jin. Whether it was the adjustment of officials or the specific combat deployment, it was subject to the orders issued by the Governor's Office.

The time had been determined long ago. After Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu arrived in Dengzhou, everyone discussed the specific schedule. Starting from July [-], the Liaodong Yulin Battalion and the frontier army began large-scale adjustments and deployments, and the Datong frontier army began to enter On the Mongolian grasslands, the soldiers of the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe are ready for all defenses. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion in Dengzhou and Fuzhou began to concentrate in the direction of Fuzhou, and all land and water routes must be fully prepared. .

It takes time to adjust the deployment. In the previous stage, Dengzhou, Liaodong, and Datong focused on logistical preparations. In fact, this is also a part of the campaign deployment, but the momentum is not very big. In addition, these places are in autumn harvest every year. When hoarding a certain amount of grain and grass, it will not attract extra attention from the outside world.

From the moment the army starts to adjust, the outside world will definitely notice the relevant changes, and the news is unlikely to be kept secret. After all, after these years of development, Dengzhou, Liaodong, and Datong are completely different from the previous situation. Especially after the news of the surrender of the Houjin Tartars came, the common people were able to farm in Liaodong and Datong with peace of mind, and the population of these places began to increase slowly, with many people talking.It is impossible for the government to control so many things.

Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze became busier than ever.

The moment the order was issued, they were the busiest. The missions of the two were different. Not only to ensure the mobilization and deployment of the Liaodong army in place, but also to "confuse" and "confuse" the post-gold tartars and let the post-gold tartars It is believed that the direction of the army's attack is in Liaodong.

The situation analysis has already been in place, and the Golden Tartars will be confused.The difficulty is not very difficult. After all, for so many years, the confrontation between the Ming army and the Houjin Tartars has been carried out in Liaodong, and if the Ming army can capture Guangning, after crossing the Liaohe River.It can directly threaten Shenyang. This is unbearable for the Hou Jin Tartars, and it is also something that Huang Taiji is particularly taboo. Total failure. [

But it is precisely because the focus of the offense is too natural.Therefore, the post-gold Tartars are likely to be suspicious. After all, the troops deployed in Guangning and Xipingbao are the most powerful elite troops of the post-gold tartars.

The plan discussed between Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze was aimed at Fan Wencheng.

The two analyzed Fan Wencheng many times. As a Han Chinese trusted by Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng's status is very delicate, and his thoughts are also very complicated.Thinking about problems must be deliberate, which also means that it is very difficult to "confuse" Fan Wencheng with just a few pieces of information. Without actual actions, Fan Wencheng will always be suspicious. When attacking the grassland tribes.Fan Wencheng has already been fooled once.

Wanting Fan Wencheng to be fooled and Huang Taiji convinced that the direction of the Ming army's attack is Liaodong, this requires some practical actions.Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze unified their understanding.

On July [-]th, the Liaodong Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, including the generals, all went to Ningyuan to participate in the pre-war deployment meeting convened by the governor's office. Lu Xiangsheng did not keep this move secret, but the content of the meeting was strictly confidential, and it was divided into two groups. Held at the level.

This meeting aroused Kangtai's great attention. Needless to say, the Ming army might start to attack the Qing Dynasty.

It is impossible for Kangtai to know the exact news, and he can only rely on Tang Haitai for everything.

It's a pity that Tang Haitai is not qualified to participate in such a meeting, and none of the officials of the governor's office can participate, but some news can still be obtained from the relevant preparations.

On the day of the meeting, Tang Haitai took the initiative to go to the store, which made Kangtai break out in a cold sweat. He did not expect Tang Haitai to be so bold. He came directly to the store at such a critical moment. Didn't he tell everyone clearly? If the news leaked 』Yes, the store is the most suspicious place.

The first conversation about the conquest information was carried out in an uneasy atmosphere.

Kangtai's expression was not very good, and he spoke with a serious face.

"Brother Tang, you still seldom come to the store at such a critical moment. If it arouses suspicion from others, you and I will be in huge trouble. I won't tell you the consequences, but you know it."

Tang Haitai had a so-called expression on his face. After such a long time, he had seen through it a long time ago. As long as he had money to spend, he could live in style, and don't think so much about other things.

"Kangtai, what else can I do? If you need information, I must send it in person. Do you need someone else to send it? Wouldn't it be exposed faster? Besides, the colleagues in the Yamen are all You know, I bought shares in the store, and I often come to the store to care about the operation, and nothing will happen."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it's better to be careful." [

"I know this. For a while in the future, I just want to come to the store often. The possibility is not great. The governor has already issued an order. Starting tomorrow, the officials in the governor's office will cancel the rest time .”

Kangtai quickly noticed this point. Although it is said that Liaodong held this meeting, it is basically certain that it was a preparation for the conquest of the Qing Dynasty, but without the support of intelligence, it is still not completely certain.

"There is such a thing, Brother Tang, has such a thing happened before?"

"The governor's yamen also made such a request when we attacked the Mongolian grassland tribes last time, but at that time, I didn't have much to do, and no one noticed me, but this time the situation is different, the requirements are very strict, and everyone It is not allowed to violate, and for how long, no one knows."

"Can it be said that the Ming army is preparing to attack the Qing Dynasty?"

Tang Haitai pondered for a while, and then answered.

"It's very possible. I think that if the attack on Houjin hadn't been launched, the governor would not have been so strict. Moreover, I also think that the attack will start from Liaodong."

"Oh, why does Brother Tang have such a view?"

"Isn't this obvious? Do you still have doubts? From my point of view, taking Guangning and Xiping Fort will directly threaten Shenyang."

Kangtai nodded, his attitude quickly changed.

"Brother Tang, it's up to you to get information. This is how I think about it. The clerk in the store will go to the governor's office to look for you on a regular basis. If you have any information, just hand it over to the clerk. Then you He will not leave the governor's office, and he does not need to come to the store, Brother Tang has some analysis on the Ming army's attack, and these analyzes can also be written."

After Kangtai finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden box on the table.

"It contains 200 taels of gold, specially prepared for Brother Tang."

Holding the wooden box, Tang Haitai also showed a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I will find a way to get all the official documents, but the guys in the shop should not go to the governor's office frequently, as this may cause suspicion. In addition, every time the guys go, it is best to bring some The account books and money are already in the autumn harvest season, and the business of the store is about to start to get busy. The shop assistants bring the account books and money, which means that it is a dividend, and the colleagues in the governor's office have no doubts."

"Okay, okay, brother Tang is very careful. There is no problem. I will definitely implement it. Unexpectedly, brother Tang has already prepared. I was a little anxious before, and my words offended me. Please forgive me."

Tang Haitai didn't speak, and there was a smug expression on his face. In fact, the worry Kangtai mentioned, he had thought about it a long time ago. After becoming one of Houjin's intelligence personnel, Tang Haitai's life would not be so easy. Eating, drinking and having fun became his main pursuit. Why this happened, he didn't think about it carefully, but he knew very well that if such a thing was exposed, not only would he be punished, but his family would also be implicated.

Tang Haitai still doesn't quite understand the concept of drunkenness, dreams and death. In fact, he is already in such a state, escaping from all reality.

The news of Tang Haitai's visit to Kangtai was quickly fed back to Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze.

The meeting was over, and Lu Xiangsheng made a request to all the officials in the governor's office. From now on, all the officials, board and lodging will be in the governor's office, and all rest and bathing will be cancelled. This is to create an atmosphere, the atmosphere before the war, It seems that this atmosphere has already caught Kangtai's attention.

This is something to be happy about, the first step was successful.

Wanting to convince Hou Jin's Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng in a short period of time that the main attack direction of the army is in Liaodong, what Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze can rely on is Tang Haitai. Taiji and Fan Wencheng made mistakes in their analysis, thus strengthening the defense of Liaodong.This matter has become one of the most important things in preparing for the war in Liaodong.

Speaking of this meeting, although the time is not long, it talked about a lot of things. The key point is to ask the army to be ready, and the conquest of the Houjin Tartars will start soon, but those who know the secret letter are the commander-in-chief and above The commander, Lu Xiangsheng, made a clear request that the adjustment and deployment of all the troops should be based on the secret letter. The official seal is the order that really needs to be executed. (To be continued.
