Ming politicians

Yang Sichang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, felt irritated. In his opinion, Liaodong’s attack was necessary. This at least shows that Liaodong has completely stabilized and the imperial court has taken the initiative in Liaodong. Tartars, the days when the post-gold Tartars were allowed to be arrogant are gone forever.

However, Yang Sichang was not satisfied with Chen Xinjia being the coach and leading this attack. He had exactly the same understanding as Liu Zongzhou. For such a large-scale attack, the coach should be Su Tiancheng.

Yang Sichang is no layman, he has a wealth of military knowledge. Under the influence of his father, he has read military books since he was a child, and after his father was dismissed from his post because of his wrong decision to conquer bandits, he also conducted various analyzes and believed that The appeasement policy adopted by my father is not completely wrong, but when dealing with the bandit leaders, we should adopt a different approach. If we follow Su Tiancheng's approach, we will never forgive the bandit leaders, and adopt a policy of appeasement for the sergeants below. The ending will be completely different.

On this basis, Yang Sichang was not unfamiliar with military deployment at all.

It is a pity that he, the chief assistant of the cabinet, cannot be compared with the former chief assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong has rich experience and prestige that can be reached by others. He once fought in Liaodong and created the Guanning Jin defense line single-handedly. After so many years, Sun Chengzong spared no effort to support Su Tiancheng and let Su Tiancheng lead the Jiangning Battalion to completely wipe out the rogue bandits who had troubled the emperor and the court for many years, stabilizing the interior of the Ming Dynasty.In terms of these contributions, Sun Chengzong can be regarded as the No.1 cabinet. [

It's a pity that it is such a meritorious minister as Sun Chengzong.In the end, he also resigned from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet.

After Yang Sichang took office, he had to be extra careful.

Tang Shiji, the second minister of the cabinet, has received the attention of the emperor. In the cabinet, he is the only person who can compete with Yang Sichang. This is what Yang Sichang said, if the power in his hands is too great, people can compete.I am afraid it is also time to resign from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Yang Sichang carefully studied all the deployment and arrangements of Liaodong. Some of his suggestions also reached Liaodong through the emperor's will. For example, Yang Sichang's opinions played a decisive role in the cautious offensive .

Yang Sichang knew Chen Xinjia very well.As far as Chen Xinjia is concerned, his original intention was not to allow Chen Xinjia to completely govern Liaodong. In terms of decentralizing Su Tiancheng's power, Yang Sichang's views were consistent with the emperor's. For public and private purposes, Yang Sichang felt that there was no problem with his actions.It's a pity that the development of the matter is beyond his control.

Yang Sichang will never forget his father's dying entrustment all his life. His father believes that leading the army to fight and fight is no child's play.As the coach, Wenchen has too many flaws.Therefore, when a civil servant is the commander in chief, he must have a general who has experienced many battles by his side, so as to ensure the victory of the battle. Otherwise, scholarly anger will kill people.

It's a pity that the current situation in Liaodong has such a danger.

Chen Xinjia's ability is recognized by Yang Sichang, but unfortunately Chen Xinjia is also a standard civil servant. He has never experienced large-scale conquests, let alone led so many troops to conquer. Originally, there was Hong Chengchou in Liaodong, and Lu Xiangsheng in Yulin. These people could become Chen Xinjia's right-hand man. Unfortunately, Chen Xinjia was useless, instead he brought Qian Qianyi with him, and the two civil servants led the army together. Who knows what will happen.

The chief minister of the cabinet is by no means omnipotent. Over the years, the emperor has strengthened his imperial power and gained a lot of prestige. The power of the cabinet has been weakened to a certain extent. Although Yang Sichang has a great voice, he cannot oppose the emperor. He has a gentle personality and is not used to such an approach.

Chen Xinjia was directed by Yang Sichang. If there was any problem in Liaodong, Yang Sichang could hardly absolve himself of the blame.

When the urgent memorial from Liaodong arrived, Yang Sichang couldn't wait to open it.

After reading the memorial, a smile appeared on Yang Sichang's face, and he let out a long sigh of relief. He immediately summoned many cabinet ministers to report the situation of the memorial.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'm just waiting for the news from Liaodong. Chen Aiqing won the first battle, which is worthy of congratulations. In just over an hour, he took down the city of Heishan and wiped out two thousand Tartars. From this point of view, the big thing in Liaodong can be settled. .”

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, everyone had smiles on their faces, and Tang Shiji, who insisted on Chen Xinjia's expedition as the coach, was even more happy, which proved that his actions were extremely correct.

"I think we can issue an order to encourage the army. I hope that Chen Aiqing will continue to work hard and win Yizhou and Guangning in one fell swoop. In this way, our strategic plan for the decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Tartars in Liaohe will be realized."

The first battle was won, and it was only natural for the imperial court to issue a decree. Liaodong was not far from the capital, and the decree could be reached soon, but Yang Sichang had a different opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think that this will not go on for the time being. The frontier army has just started, and the first battle is a joy to behold, but there are only two thousand post-Gold Tatars stationed in the city of Heishan. Perhaps the post-Gold Tatars were caught off guard and caused us The army's attack is going smoothly, under such circumstances, Mr. Chen should be more cautious, and must not act too hastily, if an order is made at this time, I am afraid that it will backfire." [

Just after Yang Sichang finished speaking, Tang Shiji spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think this imperial decree can be issued. Chen Xinjia led the army and won the first battle. The second is the gospel of our Ming Dynasty, and it is also a manifestation of the emperor's wisdom. The emperor's decree can boost morale and promote Master Chen to achieve greater success." As for being cautious, I believe that the emperor can specifically mention it in the imperial decree."

Yang Sichang looked at Tang Shiji, but did not refute. The reason he put forward for not being able to issue the imperial edict was a bit far-fetched. It was the most important thing. Yang Sichang had a feeling that Chen Xinjia might not be satisfied with taking down Yizhou and Guangning. If such a move really happened, it would be no small matter.

Zhu Youjian nodded.

"I have won the first battle. I still want to congratulate. However, what Yang Aiqing said is also reasonable. The battle in Liaodong must be cautious and not negligent..."

Liaodong, Daling River City.

Hong Chengchou received letters from Chen Xinjia and Zu Dale.

In fact, he already knew about the victory of the frontier army's attack on Montenegro, and the scouts of the Jiangning Battalion had already detected it.

In Chen Xinjia's letter, he didn't mention much about the battle to capture Montenegro, but only mentioned that [-] frontier troops were stationed in Montenegro to stabilize the defense of Montenegro.

Hong Chengchou just finished reading Chen Xinjia's letter in a hurry, and focused on Zu Dale's letter.

This was Qu Qingze's arrangement. Back then, Qu Qingze specially met Zu Dale and made a request, asking Zu Dale to report every battle situation to Hong Chengchou in detail, whether it was victory or defeat, seek truth from facts.

Looking at the letter from Zu Dale, Hong Chengchou's face turned dark, and his smile disappeared long ago.

The frontier army captured the city of Heishan in an hour and a half. There were only 2000 Houjin tartars stationed in Heishan city. There are at least ten thousand post-gold Tartars defending the city, but now there are only 2000 people, which is unlikely.

Hong Chengchou walked up and down the room, and began to think about why this happened.

The attack of the army has a great relationship with the defense of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and even the defense line of Guan Ning Jin. Su Tiancheng said in his letter that the more intense and cruel the initial battle, the more stable the defense line of Guan Ning Jin would be. The easier the initial battle, the greater the pressure on Guan Ningjin's defense line. The reason is simple. The initial battle is easy, that is, the Houjin Tatars are preserving their strength and have not let go. They may have bigger plans. The battle was cruel, that is, the Houjin Tartars made up their minds to fight with the frontier army, but judging from the current situation, the battle to attack the city of Heishan was too easy.

Hong Chengchou has his own analysis. No one dares to underestimate the strength of the Houjin Tartars. After so many years of competition, everyone knows that the strength of the Houjin Tartars is much stronger than that of the rogues. When Tiancheng came to Liaodong, he would not be so cautious. After capturing Dalinghe City, he could take Heishan, Yizhou, Guangning and other places, but Su Tiancheng did not do so. Facts have proved that Su Tiancheng's decision That's right, Dorgon led more than 1 post-gold tartars to rampage in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and there was no army to stop them.

Victory in the first battle is a good thing. Ordinarily, there shouldn’t be much worry. If you can step by step, attack and defend well at the same time, then no matter what plans the Houjin Tatars have, they are all so-called. Change, this is the kingly way of fighting. As for the post-Gold Tatars' field combat ability is not ordinary, the frontier army trained for many years is not weak.

But after working with Chen Xinjia for more than a year, Hong Chengchou felt that Chen Xinjia might not take a step-by-step strategy. Not only Chen Xinjia, but also the imperial court would not agree to such a slow conquest, so in the future, Chen Xinjia would definitely attack righteousness immediately. Zhouzhou and Guangning, this is shown in the letter written by Chen Xinjia. The city of Heishan is a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City. It is unlikely that the two places can take care of each other. Occupied by the Houjin Tartars for a long time, it is impossible for the local people to know who the "spies" are, and it is impossible to screen them out. There are not many soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City, and it is impossible to pay attention to the situation in Heishan City.

Chen Xinjia entrusted the safety of Heishan City to Dalinghe City, how could this be possible. (To be continued. If you like this work, () vote, monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to m to read.
