Borrow the day to change the day

In the early morning of this day, it was just dawn, and in Jinzhou City located in the Liaodong Corridor, most people were still asleep except for the soldiers on duty at night.

But the highest official in Jinzhou City, Yuan Keli, the governor of Liaodong, has already gotten up.After he had an early breakfast, he began to patrol the city.

Yuan Keli was different from ordinary civil servants, he was a practical man, and that's why he was able to do a good job in the position of governor of Denglai.

Waking up so early to inspect the city is something he has insisted on doing every day since he took the position of governor of Liaodong.

Yuan Keli did this on the one hand to establish his reputation as a governor in Jinzhou City as soon as possible, and to gain the morale of the army; on the other hand, he also had to be familiar with everything in Jinzhou City, so as to avoid being too unfamiliar to respond in time when something happened.

The soldiers on duty at the head of Jinzhou City survived the whole night, and their bodies were exhausted, waiting for the comrades on duty to come and hand them over.

But when they saw the governor approaching, they cheered up and stood up straight to salute Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli nodded and continued to patrol along the city wall while smiling.

He is quite satisfied with the current situation in his heart. It has been less than two months since he came to Jinzhou City. The soldiers and civilians here already know him and respect him from the bottom of their hearts. He can feel this.

Moreover, as soon as he arrived in Jinzhou, He Kegang, the deputy commander, moved closer to him and obeyed his orders.

Yuan Keli knew that He Kegang was a pawn arranged here in advance by Ji Liao Governor Sun Chengzong, and he had also received secret instructions from his friends before.Therefore, he regards He Kegang as his new confidant.

Another point, as expected before coming here, the one who least welcomes him to Jinzhou City is Chief Soldier Zu Dashou.

In fact, this is also conceivable. The Liaodong governor who had been removed by Yuan Chonghuan was restored and moved to Jinzhou City.In this place where Zu Dashou had the final say, there was another immediate boss who had to obey Yuan Keli's command, which made Zu Dashou dissatisfied to some extent.

As a result, Zu Dashou often did not cooperate or resisted the military and civil affairs meetings held by Yuan Keli.

No matter what, Zu Dashou is also an old man in the officialdom, and he knows how to do these things that make Yuan Keli unhappy without leaving any excuses.Moreover, this place was originally his territory, and most of the army generals in Jinzhou City were either members of his family or servants of his family.Therefore, the means used by Zu Dashou were even more complicated and diverse.

Even so, Yuan Keli had a higher official position than Zu Dashou after all, and he was directly in charge of Zu Dashou.He himself is not an ordinary person, and he has his own means to slowly seize the right to speak in Jinzhou City.

Yuan Keli was thinking about these things while walking, unknowingly he had walked a long distance.At this time, he felt a little tired, so he stopped and looked out of the city.

The direction he was looking at was east of Jinzhou, the direction of Jianlu's sphere of influence.

In the past month, Jianlu's scouting horses have appeared frequently, and even bypassed Jinzhou City to go to Ningyuan.

Yuan Keli once asked Zu Dashou to send elites to fight with these scouts and shield Jianlu's intelligence, but every time Zu Dashou shied away on the grounds that he was afraid that Jianlu would ambush him.

He Kegang was willing to go, but Yuan Keli didn't want him to go.The elite sent out to fight Jianlu's scout horses, and the casualty ratio was very high.

He Kegang had too few troops, and if the loss was too great, there would be one less available troops in Jinzhou City, which Yuan Keli didn't want to see.

Later, under Yuan Keli's repeated requests, Zu Dashou still sent Ye Bushou to go to the direction of Jianlu to investigate the military situation. After finding that the main force of Jianlu, namely Dorgon and Duoduo's army, was stationed in front, he no longer wanted to No charge at night.

Yuan Keli understood that the Jianlu army would be stationed here, it should be a response to Daming's military situation on the front line of Ningjin.They probably didn't expect that they would serve as the re-established governor of Liaodong, let alone set the governor's office at the forefront of Jinzhou.

However, he didn't want to see such a big reaction from Jianlu. He didn't expect Jianlu to take him so seriously, and sent two Heshuobeiles to take precautions, which would be very detrimental to future plans.

Thinking of this, Yuan Keli remembered what Sun Chengzong said to himself.

There is no doubt that Sun Chengzong meant to attack Jianlu.

However, because he was worried that Jianlu's field combat ability was too strong, he planned to take steps at every step and use the method of building a city to encroach on Jianlu's territory.

Sun Chengzong also admired something called cement very much, saying that this material can build a city quickly, but it is very strong.

Yuan Keli was amazed and even more curious about the inventor of the material, but it was a pity that he missed it for a while.

But no matter how miraculous this material is, there is no way to build the city under such precautions.

The place Sun Chengzong chose to build the city was the Daling River, more than [-] miles east of Jinzhou City, and Yuan Keli had no objection to this.

Because this is an important line of defense shielding Jinzhou, as long as the Linghe and Linghe can be built like Ningyuan, it will be equivalent to another important pass in front of Shanhaiguan.

If the Ming army wanted to consolidate Liao, it had to build this city; if Jin wanted to attack Ming, it had to demolish the city.Since Yuan Chonghuan's period, the two sides have competed fiercely for the two cities of Linghe and Linghe. It has been two constructions and two demolition.

According to the past situation, with the miraculous materials for building the city, Sun Chengzong is very sure that he will build the city before Jianlu reacts.

But what he didn't expect was that because of Yuan Keli's appearance, Jianlu's overreaction caused the Ming army to have no time to build the city.

However, the imperial court is not in a hurry to win the Liaodong side. According to Yuan Keli's understanding, the reason is that there are many things happening in the imperial court. That's it.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the slave chiefs were killed alive in the pass, and a Beijing camp called the death camp went out to retaliate and relieve the pressure.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ke immediately remembered that all these things had something to do with the sudden emergence of Marquis Zhongxing.Sometimes, he really believed that the rumor was true, otherwise, who would have such great ability to influence so many things.

Yuan Keli looked at it for a long time, and felt his neck was a little sore, so he twisted his neck, thinking that it's a pity that the death camp was blocked.

To really hurt the Mongols outside the pass, it is not an easy job to go out for a walk and come back.Yuan Keli was not optimistic about this attack on the death camp. In his opinion, this military operation for political purposes was more like beating dogs with meat buns, and there was no return.

He thought again, Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the death camp, was originally a member of the Guanning Army.If he was still in the Guanning army, he would be transferred to assist him. With Cao Wenzhao and He Kegang by his side, it would be much easier to deal with or recover Zu Dashou.

Thinking of this, Yuan Keli sighed in his heart for the death camp, and then prepared to continue patrolling the city.

At this moment, it seemed that there was a faint movement in the distance outside the city.Not only Yuan Keli found out, but many soldiers also found out.All of a sudden, the people on the top of the city became tense and looked towards the east of the city where the movement came from.

It is also inevitable that the Ming army at the head of the city will not be nervous. There is a large army of Jianlu stationed in that direction.

After about a while, a soldier not far from Yuan Keli, who may have more sensitive ears or a better sense of smell on the battlefield, only heard him shout: "It is the voice of the cavalry army, Jianlu is coming! "
