Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 551 The future of the Qing Dynasty depends on me

On the Liaodong side, Lu Xiangsheng had already returned to Haizhou, and did not stay in Anshan Yibao, let alone continue to attack Liaoyang.The reason is very simple, there is not enough food, grass and materials for him to attack Liaoyang with enough troops.

If there are fewer troops to attack Liaoyang, although the Jianlu troops are already declining, they still have fighting strength. Maybe they have to sacrifice their lives, which is obviously not possible.

But no matter what, the Yebushou of the Ming army began to appear near Liaoyang, and the area from Anshan Post Fort to Liaoyang became a battlefield for scouts from both sides, at least for now.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng was standing in front of a huge map of Liaodong in Xingyuan, the governor of Haizhou. He said to Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan, who had been promoted to generals, "The emperor has sent reliable news that the country of Wa has negotiated with Jianlu." Forming an alliance will not only send troops to North Korea, but also transport food to Jianlu. They will transport food from here to here..."

While talking, he pointed at a certain point in the northern waters of North Korea on the map, and then continued: "In order to save food as much as possible, the Jianlu don't want to waste it on the road. Therefore, they have decided to pass the ship from the Tumen River. If you want to transport inland, you can never take the land route if you can take the water route..."

Hearing this, both Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan showed surprise.However, Li Dingguo, who went to participate in the military parade before the Chinese New Year, was better, because he knew that the only gold medal of the Great Ming Hero was obtained by the secret agent of Jinyiwei.And this Jinyiwei spy even became the son-in-law of the former slave chieftain Huang Taiji for a while.He had to admit that Daming's spying ability was really strong!
While they were thinking, Lu Xiangsheng had already solemnly announced: "Therefore, it is the emperor's order to send a cavalry army to secretly go to the mouth of the Tumen River to burn the food that the Japanese country gave to Jianlu. This official decided to send You two go. How about it?"

Li Dingguo's combat command ability has been recognized by everyone in the battle of Yaozhou Station. He leads the army and can adapt to changes. Lu Xiangsheng is relieved.And Chen Shao'an is a Han from Liaodong, and he has been with Jianlu for a long time, and he doesn't know as many people as Kong Youde. Therefore, if he leads the way and cooperates with Li Dingguo, Lu Xiangsheng is most at ease.

"The last general obeys orders!" Li Dingguo and Chen Shao'an heard this, and they clasped their fists in unison to accept the orders.

At this time, almost everyone knew how fatal it was to grab Jianlu's seven-inch punch!

After listening to their reply, Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "Now Jianlu has shrunk a lot due to lack of troops. I have thought about it carefully. If you walk along this road, you should be able to avoid Jianlu's eyes and ears. In the battle, there are not many troops, but surprises. Therefore, it is enough to lead the cavalry from the headquarters of the Dongjiang Army."

The Hussars Battalion has [-] troops left in Liaodong, but relatively speaking, the Dongjiang Cavalry Army is more adaptable to the climate and environment of Liaodong.Furthermore, if there are too many people there, it will be easy for Jianlu to find them. Without the suddenness, it will not be easy to destroy Jianlu's food, which is not good!
Seeing Li Dingguo and Chen Shaoan listening carefully, Lu Xiangsheng continued to explain: "In addition, in order to cover you, I will strengthen the harassment of Liaoyang to attract the attention of Jianlu. After you burn the food of Jianlu, Just act according to the actual situation. If you can harass Jianlu in the north, it is best to make a big noise; if you don’t have a fighter, don’t force it, just come back..."

Having said that, he raised his voice and emphasized solemnly: "The main purpose of this battle is to burn the food. In addition, to minimize the casualties of the soldiers, this is what the emperor emphasized, remember?"

"The last general obeys orders!" Li Dingguo and Chen Shao'an immediately replied with the same seriousness after hearing this.

As for the news that Emperor Chongzhen was coming to lead the army to recover Shenyang, Lu Xiangsheng had already mentioned it to the two of them.This is also the reason why Lu Xiangsheng wanted to explain to the two of them that if there was a chance, they would make a commotion in the north of Jianlu.

On the third day, Li Dingguo, who had finished his preparations, and Chen Shaoan led three thousand Dongjiang cavalry, quietly left Haizhou and disappeared on the land of Liaodong.

As soon as they left, Lu Xiangsheng went to sit in Anshan Post Fort, and intensified the harassment of Liaoyang according to the agreement.Although the food and grass are not enough to support the army to attack Liaoyang, it is no problem to send more nights without harvesting.

Regarding the reaction of the Ming army, Dorgon in Shengjing was very relieved after learning about the situation.He explained to Bumbutai, who had been worried: "After the Ming army captured Anshan Posthouse, at most they only sent troops to harass Liaoyang at night. It can be seen that the Ming army must also be short of food and grass, so they missed the opportunity."

Speaking of this, he raised his voice a little, and said decisively with more confidence: "With the shrewdness of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will never fail to see that the Qing Dynasty is at its weakest, but still did not send troops to attack. There is also no surplus grain in the country. If the grain from the Ming Kingdom is harvested and shipped to Liaodong, I will get the grain from the Wa Kingdom early in the morning, and I will already be relieved."

"That's very good, I will feel at ease now!" Bumbutai was greatly relieved after hearing this.She still believed in Dorgon's judgment.

After Dorgon saw her reaction, he turned his head to look at Hauge, and told him: "The food of the Japanese country is related to the future of our Qing Dynasty. You must bring back as much food as possible when you go."

When the Qing Dynasty needed unity the most, Dorgon finally handed over the matter of transporting grain to Hauge, which could be regarded as compensation for suppressing the Hauge family before.

In fact, he also hid his thoughts on this matter.

It's Hauge, a reckless idiot. If he gets the food but has other intentions, Dorgon will not be afraid. He believes that he can defeat Hauge.

In addition, after Hauge left, only the guards led by Aobai remained in the line left by Huang Taiji, and his strength would be greatly weakened, making Dorgon's authority even more difficult to be challenged.Coupled with the fact that Bumbutai wore a pair of trousers with him, the regent was almost equal to the emperor.

Duoduo is in Liaoyang, only Yuetuo is still in Shengjing.

For Yue Tuo, although from the current point of view, he has already supported Dorgon, but Dorgon is still worried about him.If Yue Tuo had any dissatisfaction with getting the food, he would still be afraid.

Based on the above reasons, it was Hauge who finally went to pick up the food.

At this time, Haoge heard Dorgon's advice, and immediately patted his chest and said: "This is so important, do you think I am a three-year-old child, I don't know?"

"Okay, don't be nagging, I'll set off early tomorrow morning!" Haug didn't want to look at the couple in front of him anymore, turned around and left, and said at the same time, "The future of the Qing Dynasty depends on me, just look at it!"

Seeing him walk out of the Chongzheng Hall, Dorgon turned his head and said to Yue Tuo kindly: "Now Shengjing has squeezed out food and sent it to Liaoyang. The situation of the people below still needs us to comfort them more." Take a moment. Here in Shengjing, if you can save more food, save more food. When Hauge comes back, you will no longer be hungry!"

"Uncle, don't worry!" Yue Tuo was very respectful to Dorgon. After replying, he left.

As soon as he left, there was no one in the Chongzheng Hall.Dorgon looked at Bumbutai, sighed and said: "The palace still has to be an example, just bear with it for a while!"

There is no way, what is most lacking right now is food.Duo ErGun had to urge everywhere to appease people.Otherwise, if you are in a hurry, there will be trouble.

Bumbutai was relatively calm, and said to Dorgon with a smile: "Don't worry, with the hope of Japanese food, I believe everyone will be able to bear it!"

She was really sure about this.She doesn't understand the war, but she still has a little confidence in the hearts of the people.

Dorgon listened, nodded, and listened carefully. Shengjing City is very quiet now, not even the sound of birds.If it was the past, maybe I would be happy with this tranquility.But at this time, Dorgon sighed, thinking in his heart: Shengjing is like a dead city, I hope to get through this predicament soon!

…………

Compared to Shengjing where all the birds were eaten, Ningjin was very lively.

On the coastline, transport ships formed a long line that could not be seen at a glance, heading north.

On land, Emperor Chongzhen's chariot led the imperial army in a mighty march.Hong Chengchou has already made arrangements here. The camp for the army is properly arranged. Once the army arrives, they can eat well and sleep well.

It has to be said that Hong Chengchou really spent a lot of energy to arrange this.Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the people in Guan Ning.

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the news that the people in the capital were eager to borrow food to support the imperial court in fighting Jianlu had already spread here.Driven the common people here, also learned from the common people in the capital, and actively participated in this action of conquering Jianlu.

When Hong Chengchou reported these things to Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen saw it with his own eyes, he happily issued an order that the people of Ningjin could also enjoy the benefits of the people of the capital.In other words, their efforts will be greatly rewarded.

Immediately, this news made the people of Ning Jin even more enthusiastic.Emperor Chongzhen's expedition against Jianlu this time is really a bit like when later generations fought in the Huaihai Campaign, and it has won the enthusiastic support of the people!

In this way, in the middle of May of the 18th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen led the army to Haizhou.

Before the arrival of the army, Lu Xiangsheng's additional Yebushou had not been reduced, which also played a role in blocking the news.

While the army was resting in Haizhou, Emperor Chongzhen listened to the details reported by Lu Xiangsheng to Liaodong, and combined with the feedback he received from the eavesdropping system, he began to make plans in his mind.

Five days later, the Liaodong War officially began!
