Ming politicians

May [-]th, Liaodong, Yizhou.

Since the start of the campaign, Chen Xinjia had never said anything in the army. Even if the imperial decree of the emperor's reward came, Chen Xinjia ordered the army to prepare to attack Yizhou immediately after receiving the decree. But this time, Chen Xinjia suddenly felt that the army The attack on Guangning is about to start, and it is necessary to emphasize that the [-] troops who went out will stay in Heishan City, [-] troops, and [-] troops in Uiju. Except for the casualties, [-] troops will attack Guangning. Both Qianyi and Tang Haitai suggested that [-] soldiers left in Yizhou would be enough to gather as many soldiers as possible to attack Guangning, but Chen Xinjia insisted on leaving [-] frontier troops. He was always worried, fearing that the Mongolian tribes would suddenly send troops to attack Yizhou. In Yizhou, there are more sergeants staying in Yizhou, and they can also control the situation well. At the same time, the emperor's decree requires him to be cautious. Chen Xinjia believes that this is also an expression of his prudence. Heishan and Yizhou have left [-] sergeants , the defense force is sufficient enough.

Because of the victories in the attack on Heishan and Yizhou, the morale of the army was high, and the understanding of the Houjin Tartars had changed a lot. Although Chen Xinjia did not agree with belittling the Houjin Tartars, in his heart, he also had a little bit of respect for the Houjin Tartars. They all say how powerful the Houjin Tartars are, that is probably a thing of the past. Today's frontier troops have greatly improved their combat effectiveness, dare to attack cities and pull out villages, and dare to confront the Houjin Tartars. Morale, why not be able to win Guangning.

As for whether he is going to point his sword at Shenyang, Chen Xinjia is still in the process of considering. This ambition, as the battle continues, has not been able to be defeated, but it has become clearer. Chen Xinjia has made a preliminary decision. Guangning will play to the emperor.I implore the imperial court to deploy troops to strengthen the garrisons of Heishan, Yizhou and Guangning, lead the army by myself, cross the Liaohe River, and attack Shenyang, the capital of Houjin.

Among the army, there are officers with more than a thousand households.All gathered outside the Chinese military tent.

Chen Xinjia looked a little excited looking at the many officers.

"Everyone, I would like to thank you very much for winning Heishan and Yizhou. If you hadn't fought the enemy bravely, the army could not have achieved such a record. I hope you will continue to work hard and take Guangning with all your strength."

"They all say how powerful the Houjin Tartars are. I don't know how brave they are. In half a month, the army fought against the Houjin Tartars several times, and they won all victories. From my opinion, my army can completely defeat the Houjin Tartars. Golden Tartar."

"Ningyuan is about to be attacked. This commander reminds everyone. There is a fierce battle waiting for you. As long as we can win Guangning, we will drive the Houjin Tatars out of Liaodong, and confront the Houjin Tartars in Liaohe. If you have achieved that step, the situation in Liaodong will completely change, and this is a huge contribution. You will become the meritorious ministers of my Ming Dynasty, and this commander will present your contributions to the emperor."

"I know that there will be a fierce battle to attack Guangning. I will be your strong backing. I will fight with you and cheer for you. I believe that you will be able to completely defeat the Houjin Tartars. Complete victory..."

After some agitation, many officers organized a large army to prepare to set off. Qian Qianyi, Tang Haitai and Zu Dashou were left in the Chinese army tent, and Zu Dashou and Qian Qianyi would stay in Yizhou.

This was also Chen Xinjia's decision. The controversy that arose a few days ago still stimulated Chen Xinjia to lead the army to conquer Heishan and Yizhou. , He repeatedly said that he would go to the Emperor Shu to punish this evil situation severely. As for the ancestor's birthday, he went too far, thinking that it might be the Houjin Tartars who voluntarily gave up Heishan and Yizhou. Chen Xinjia's credit was given to him. Chen Xinjia couldn't accept such an understanding.

The responsibility of commanding the army was handed over to Zu Dabi. Zu Dabi, who had been following Chen Xinjia in the central army, was calm and quiet, able to figure out Chen Xinjia's intentions, and also able to act in full accordance with the requirements. Under such circumstances, Chen Xinjia could be more Good command of the army.

"Lord Qian, Zongbing Zu, Yizhou will be handed over to you. This commander has always been worried that if the Houjin Tartars mobilize the Mongolian tribes and launch an attack from the direction of Yizhou, the army will be flanked by front and rear attacks, so [-] soldiers will be left behind. , Strictly guard Yizhou, Yizhou is only [-] miles away from Heishan. The commander has already asked the [-] soldiers stationed in Heishan to keep in touch with Dalinghe City, and you must also keep in touch with the soldiers stationed in Heishan at all times. . . ”

After Chen Xinjia finished speaking, Qian Qianyi answered with cupped fists.

"Don't worry, Marshal, Zongbing Zu and I will do our best to defend Yizhou..."

Zu Dashou did not speak.

As the army set out, Qian Qianyi and Zu Dashou had been standing outside the city, watching the army disappear from sight.

Qian Qianyi was about to return to the city, but saw that Zu Dashou still didn't move, he knew how Zu Dashou felt, as a general who led the army for a long time, he must be in a bad mood if he couldn't participate in the battle of the army. In fact, Qian Qianyi also understood that he was afraid He also raised his opinions. He had a lot of opinions on the frontier army's massacre of the city, which aroused Chen Xinjia's dissatisfaction. As for Zu Dashou, the mistakes were even more obvious. Because of the strategy of the post-Gold Tartars, this is tantamount to completely negating Chen Xinjia's contribution, and it is impossible for Chen Xinjia to tolerate it.

If the army went out to conquer Guangning, it would be a great credit, but if it could not participate in this battle, the credit would be much smaller. Zu Dashou, as the general who commanded the battle, commanded the army and captured the Heishan and Yizhou, but at the critical moment, they stayed in Yizhou.

"Zong Bing Zu, go back, the army has already moved out, you and I need to do a good job in defending Yizhou, and the responsibility is also great."

Zu Dashou shook his head, hesitant to speak, because the last time he was honest, he had already paid a huge price. In fact, he was not in favor of attacking Yizhou, let alone leaving [-] soldiers to garrison Yizhou. It is a pity that Chen Xinjia insisted on his own I know that the location of Yizhou is very important, and I have repeatedly emphasized the threat of Mongolian tribes. These possibilities are actually very small.

"Zongbing Zu, the commander-in-chief has his own considerations, so you and I don't have to think about it. In the past few days, I have also thought about it seriously, and I feel that what the commander-in-chief said is still reasonable. No matter what, the army can be invincible. , The contribution is huge, you and I can defend Yizhou and stabilize the defense, and the same contribution is indispensable."

Zu Dashou looked at Qian Qianyi, but finally did not speak.

Ningyuan City.

Hauge, Azig and the others looked a little lonely. After waiting for such a long time, the day of fighting was finally coming. Unfortunately, their spirits were not very good.

Huang Taiji's expression was very serious.

"Haug, as the former commander-in-chief of the army, you have a heavy responsibility. You must remember that your main duty is to lure the Ming army into the ambush position. I know that you are angry in your heart and think that you must charge as hard as you can and fight with all your strength. There are those who specialize in defeating battles. I once warned you to read more about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and some of the battles there. To win a battle, it is not entirely about fighting on the battlefield. The key is to plan below the battlefield. , A decisive victory thousands of miles away is the key to the victory of the battle. You know the importance of this battle, so I hope you can take good care of it and fight a beautiful battle."

"Azige, as the former deputy commander of the army, you must assist Hauge in the ambush on the road. Hauge leads the retreat, and you meet him halfway. You have to do better to make the Ming army think that you can't Confrontation, forced to retreat, so that the Ming army can pursue closely, to be honest, I am most worried about you, your bravery on the battlefield, it goes without saying, but now you want to lure the Ming army into the ambush circle, It’s not about showing bravery, it’s about using your brains.”

"Haoge, Azig, I have something to say first, no matter what your status is or how noble you are, if you violate the military order, I will not forgive you lightly, and you will do it according to the military law. Go down and prepare."

The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army is Huang Taiji himself. Tony, Obai, Tan Tai and others are all the most valiant generals. The duty of the Chinese army is to encircle and wipe out the Ming army. The Ming army has a large number of people. They want to wipe them all out in a short time. , only the advantage of concentrated numbers, Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners, used to field battles, cavalry is the most elite troops, this time all were dispatched, and those who stayed in Shenyang were mainly infantry.

Haoge, Azige and others quickly withdrew to prepare for departure, leaving Fan Wencheng in the room.

"Wen Cheng, I'm still a little worried. I don't know if Dorgon can go straight to Dalinghe City. This move is very important. No matter how many soldiers the Ming army gathers, Dorgon must hold on, otherwise we will All deployments will be in vain."

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Prince Rui is clear about his responsibilities and will definitely stick to it. Taking down Dalinghe City is temporarily unrealistic, but taking back Heishan and Yizhou and annihilating the vital forces of the Ming army is definitely achievable."

"Well, I'm prepared for this, but I'm still a little worried. If Su Tiancheng, who is far away in Dengzhou, suddenly rushes to Liaodong, I really don't know how to deal with it."

"Your Majesty, according to the information I received from the capital of Daming, Su Tiancheng in Dengzhou didn't move at all. Yizhou is only a hundred miles away from Guangning. The Ming army has already set off, and it will arrive in Guangning in two days. Tian Cheng led the Jiangning Battalion and set off from Dengzhou to rush to help, but it was too late."

After a brief conversation, Huang Taiji's face showed arrogance. Anyway, the army is ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait. For this conquest, the Qing Dynasty has made sufficient preparations and must completely wipe out the intruders. The Ming army dispatched 20 troops to encircle and suppress [-] Ming troops. This was the first time the Qing Dynasty had done so, and it had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. (to be continued..)
