Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 552

The military meeting for the battle to regain Liaodong was held. Many generals, including those from the Beijing Camp, the Third Camp, the Dongjiang Army, and the Guanning Army, gathered together, almost filling the entire lobby of the governor's residence.

Emperor Chongzhen was seated at the throne, and in front of him were two officials in scarlet robes, Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, and Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Baoding.In front of the generals, the emperor's personal servants Lan Tianbao and Chen Baoting were pushing a screen and hanging a huge map of Liaodong on it.

In the lobby, the only solemn voice was Emperor Chongzhen's.I just heard him say loudly: "In this battle, the people in the capital and the people along the way squeezed out their rations to provide the army with food and grass supplies to conquer the Jianlu. Faced with the wishes of many people, the generals must Fight with all your strength, without any slacking off or disobeying military orders. If anyone violates the order, regardless of his previous achievements, I will never tolerate it and will definitely kill him without mercy! Do you understand, sir?"

Including Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, together with all the generals and the supervising army, they all clasped their fists together to salute Emperor Chongzhen, and solemnly and loudly echoed: "This official (the last general) understands!"

Many of them actually didn't need Emperor Chongzhen to say this. After hearing the people of Ming Dynasty respond to the grand occasion of borrowing food from the court for the first time, they were all dumbfounded, and then they understood that this battle must not live up to the expectations of the people. .

Of course, among so many people, I don’t know if anyone thinks that this is likely to be the last battle against Jianlu, and whether they are slacking off and want to support the bandits in self-respect like the former King of Liaodong.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen still had a serious face, got up and strode to the screen map, took a thin stick handed over by Chen Baoting, and then said to the civil and military officials present: "Now the main force of Jianlu's troops is in Liaoyang and Shenyang and Shenyang. Among them, Liaoyang is led by slave chieftain Duoduo, with a total of about 3000 people, and there are more than 3000 people in the city. There are no old or weak, most of them are young and strong, and there are even few children. Therefore, Liaoyang The Jianlu who can fight internally can be regarded as [-] people."

Introducing the situation, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the location of Liaoyang with a thin stick, then continued to point north along the official road, and at the same time continued: "There are about 3 Jianlu in the tiger skin station sixty miles away from Liaoyang. Sixty miles to the north is Shenyang. There are about [-] Jianlu troops in total, including the Zhengbai Banner under the slave chief Dorgon, the Zhenglan Banner under Yuetuo, and the Zhenghuang Banner guarding the imperial city. , these three troops are relatively strongest. In addition, there are more than [-] people in the city, all young and strong men and women of Jianlu, which can also be regarded as Jianlu troops, with a total of about [-]."

The generals have long been familiar with Emperor Chongzhen having such detailed information about Jianlu.It was about the final battle against the captives, and everyone was listening intently.

"At present, the Jianlu is extremely short of food, but the Wa Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Jianlu, and there is grain to be transported to the Jianlu." Emperor Chongzhen announced the news about the Wa Kingdom in public for the first time, and at the same time pointed to the map with a thin stick to introduce, "The grain will be transported here, along the Tumen River and transported inland. Everyone in Jianlu is looking forward to this batch of grain. However, Lu Qing has sent [-] Dongjiang cavalry under Li Dingguo to burn the grain."

Having said that, he put away his thin stick, solemnly swept the faces of everyone present, and then said loudly: "I assume that Li Dingguo's troops failed to complete the task, so I request that this battle must be completed in a short time Or encircle Jianlu, capture Shenyang, and recover Liaodong."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back to the main seat to sit down, glanced at the bottom, and added again: "Jianlu is extremely short of food, and now all the troops are lying dead, but Liaoyang City is a little bit normal. It can be said that Jianlu's Combat power will not be half of what it normally is. Therefore, I request that this battle must be swift and swift. For Liaoyang, we should encircle but not attack. The army divides its forces and quickly crosses Liaoyang to attack Shenyang. It is also encircling but not attacking. If the captives run out of food, they will be able to take the important towns of Liaoyang and Shenyang."

Once the army besieged the city, the defenders in the city must have a full stomach to defend in order to have the physical strength to defend the city.In this way, the consumption of food will increase extremely, and the food of Jianlu cannot bear such consumption at all.Therefore, it will not take long before Jianlu's food will be exhausted.

Compared with forcibly attacking Liaoyang and Shenyang, it has to be said that the strategy mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen is the best countermeasure.After all, Liaoyang and Shenyang are the tallest and strongest cities in Liaodong. Although there are Hongyi cannons, it is not something that can be done in a short time if they want to blow down the city walls.Moreover, the battle of siege also caused much less losses than the battle of siege.

After explaining the overall tactics clearly, everyone will understand that the battle of Liaodong this time is all about the word "quick", that is, before the Liaodong Jianlu reacts, they must surround the city where the main force of Jianlu is located and prevent them from running away. .In this way, the main force of Jianlu was destroyed, so the other Jianlu who were scattered all over the place would not be a concern, and Liaodong would be restored.

The difficulty of this battle was far lower than the difficulty of the decisive battle against Jianlu that many generals imagined, so they all showed excitement.

Make meritorious deeds, seal your wife and son, this is the final battle!

But before they finished their excitement, Emperor Chongzhen added solemnly: "There is another piece of news that the Wa Kingdom has assembled 8 horses and is now ready to go. According to the strategy set by the Wa Kingdom Tokugawa Iemitsu, the Wa Kingdom is going to use Thunder To quickly occupy North Korea, in order to gain a firm foothold in North Korea before I, Ming, can react."

This news came as a surprise to most of the generals.At this time, when they heard that there were such Japanese pirates coming, not only did they not feel dignified, let alone fear, but they were even more excited.From their point of view, it would be great to see that after Jianlu was eliminated, there would still be great battles to be fought and military exploits to be made!
Warriors, how can there be no battles to fight!
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and saw that they were all very excited, so he said loudly: "Therefore, I request that before the Japanese invaders occupy Korea, we should try our best to eliminate the Jian captives in Liaodong. The time left for the ministers is only about one and a half months. Sir, do you remember?"

"The last general will remember!" shouted in unison, loudly responding to Emperor Chongzhen's words, the voice was extraordinarily loud, full of excitement, like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep.

Emperor Chongzhen had already said almost everything he needed to say, and he had also clearly stated the detailed situation of the entire Jianlu, as well as the current international situation, that is, the news that the Japanese pirates were about to attack.I believe that the generals present have understood the current situation.

So, next, Emperor Chongzhen sternly shouted: "All generals listen to the decree!"

Hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and waited for the order. They knew that this was the emperor's official mission.

Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen began to order generals, all the generals were enthusiastic, full of expectations for the upcoming battle.Only the artillery battalion has a lot of regrets.Because the jackpot was taken away by the cavalry.

After the military discussion, the entire army to restore Liaodong, including the Guanning Army, the Hussar Battalion and the Dongjiang Army that stayed in Haizhou last year, totaling more than [-], all moved into action.

More than 5000 cavalry troops were the first to set off.The sound of the rumbling horseshoes shook Haizhou three points, like spring thunder resounding through the land of Liaodong, it was going to chop off all the ghosts and ghosts in the land of Liaodong, and return Liaodong to a quiet world.

Subsequently, the infantry, including the car battalion, also set off.They all started running lightly, and all the luggage was transported by cars.At least within the distance from Haizhou to Anshan Yibao, it is very safe.

Teams of soldiers of the Ming army lined up neatly and ran forward as if they were running a race.Everyone's face is full of excitement.It's as if they're not going to fight, but to claim credit.

Well, in fact, from their point of view, with the emperor personally commanding, and there are so many officers and troops, this war is not a sure win, what else could it be?
Yes, to grab credit!

Sixty miles away, the army arrived not long after noon, and the forward arrived at Anshan Post Castle.

Emperor Chongzhen had rushed to Anshan Post Fort with the cavalry army before, and at this time, he was watching the arrival of the infantry from the top of the city.It has to be said that the speed of this march still exceeded his estimate.

Looking around, the entire Anshan post castle, including inside and outside the city, is already crowded with people. The 5000 cavalry troops who arrived earlier have already rested here.

Today is a little warm-up. Starting tomorrow, after the army sets out from here, there will be no time for a good rest until the war is over.The cavalry army, in particular, had to march hundreds of miles, penetrate deep into enemy territory, and besiege Jianlu's "puppet capital". The task was even more arduous.

As for whether the army will leak the news here, one is that Lu Xiangsheng has already dispatched more nights before, and drove all Jianlu's scouts back to Liaoyang. At most, they can still be seen in the suburbs of Liaoyang. In other places, It's all the territory that the Ming army won't take at night.

Another point is that Duoduo has a Grade A eavesdropping seed on him. Even if Jianlu finds out that there is an army gathering in Anshan Post Fort, the time for Duduo to react is sixty miles away, and the cavalry can rush there in time.

Regarding the sudden increase of the Ming army and not taking it at night, because there were several times before, Jianlu has become a little numb.More importantly, Jianlu couldn't send more scouts to fight because of food and grass problems.

If Jianlu dares to send more scouts, believe it or not, it will eventually turn into a cavalry decisive battle!The Ming army is not afraid of this at all, but Jianlu has no such capital.

So, until Emperor Chongzhen woke up early the next morning, he did not see any news from Duoduo.

"Report, the official road leading to Liaoyang has been filled!"

"Report, the whole army has eaten and is ready to go!"

"..."

Seeing that the troops were already waiting for the order, Emperor Chongzhen shouted, "So, let's give Jianlu a big surprise today!"

Jianlu has been arrogant in Liaodong for 30 to [-] years, and now Daming has come to settle accounts with you!
This day is May 18, 27th year of Chongzhen.In the original history, today last year was the day Wu Sangui introduced the Manchus into the customs.

　There were still more than 500 words that I hadn’t finished writing this morning. I had a meeting all day and forgot to update it at [-] pm. I didn’t remember it until after dinner.One more tonight.
