Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 1040

The grand strategy was decided by Emperor Chongzhen.His decision was either arbitrarily determined by Qiankun, or he held a joint military meeting of the Ming Dynasty, or he came to it after hearing the opinions of several frontline generals and commanders.But as far as war is concerned, Emperor Chongzhen didn't worry about how to fight, it was up to the leading generals to decide how to fight.

Due to the existence of the chat group system and the deployment of "humanoid radios" in all Ming armies, Lu Xiangsheng not only knew the whereabouts of the Manchu and Qing grain guards, but also the situation of his own army.

After Lu Xiangsheng took the overall situation into consideration, he decided to set the battlefield between Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort.In fact, he didn't have many choices.The Manchu Qing reinforcements in Liaodong set off before the second batch of troops in Haizhou, and the distance between the two sides to North Korea was about the same.If the Ming army forcibly marched to North Korea, it would be a bit unrealistic to fight against the Manchu and Qing grain guards.And at that time, we had to guard against whether the troops from Liaodong would hit the battlefield.

If the Liaodong reinforcements receive the food protection team, Duoduo leads the army back, and there will be less worries.Although it is said that on the road from Liaodong to North Korea, the Manchus and Qings stationed a relatively large number of troops, and it would be correspondingly more difficult to fight.But as long as the battle can be resolved in time, even if the Manchu Qing army comes to help, it is not afraid.

After choosing the battlefield, Lu Xiangsheng led the two armies to join together, and no longer dispatched Yebugao, trying to minimize the traces of the Ming army, as if Da Ming didn't know about the food delivery in the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't even think about it. generally.

One day, two days, three days... At the beginning, especially in the inaccessible places in northern North Korea, Doduo's spirit was very nervous. woke up.Walking on the road, if you hear the sound of the wind blowing through the forest on both sides of the official road, you will also suspect that someone is hiding inside.Regarding this, Azig was also nervous at first, but later he became numb, and later became a little disdainful and suspicious of Duoduo.

At this time, the two Manchu chiefs showed a different attitude.

The more there was no movement of the Ming army, the tighter Doduo's nerves jumped, like a spring, the more it was pressed, the tighter it was, and he always felt that the Ming army was about to appear.But Azig is getting more and more relaxed, where is the Ming army?It is impossible for the Ming army to appear!

On this day, when the food protection team arrived at Sinuiju on the banks of the Yalu River, the Liaodong reinforcements who came to welcome them also arrived here, and the two sides can be said to have met victoriously.It wasn't until this time that Duduo's nerves relaxed.This relaxation made me feel very tired immediately.He didn't go to courteously, rested by himself, and prepared to return to Seoul.

The leader of the reinforcements was Shu Mulu Yangguli, who was over 60 years old at this time, but he was still young and strong, and it was not a problem to lead the army to fight.In the original history, during this period of time, he, together with Azig and Abatai, led an army to attack the Daming Pass, conquered twelve prefectures and counties in Ginei, won all 58 battles, and returned with more than [-] prisoners.It's just bad luck that when he accompanied Huang Taiji to attack North Korea, he was ambushed by the North Korean army, and eventually died of serious injuries, and was posthumously named King Wu Xun by Huang Taiji.

The reason why Huang Taiji sent him here was because he was the founding hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so mature and prudent.This batch of grain and grass materials is too important, so I am a little worried about Azig's youth, so send Yangguli to match it.

Sure enough, when he heard Azig mocking Doduo's cowardice in front of him, he began to persuade him: "Master Belle, there is nothing wrong with being careful. No matter what, it is the best way to send this batch of grain to Shenyang safely." OK "

Yang Guli's official position at this time is still one level lower than Baylor's, but his wife is the daughter of Boarpi, who is considered Azig's brother-in-law, and has senior qualifications, so it's okay to persuade him.

Azig didn't expect that he wouldn't cooperate, and there was an unpleasant scene, so he didn't bother to see Yang Guli, and went to rest by himself.

One day later, Li Deming saw through the binoculars on a distant mountain outside the city of Sinuiju that Duoduo's army was heading south from the city, so he immediately sent the news to the group: Duoduo led the army back to Seoul! "

Not long after, he sent out another message: "The Food Guard Army has also started to leave the city and set off for Liaodong."

After finishing speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, put down the binoculars, and said to the companions around him: "Okay, our mission has been completed. Take a good rest, and we can return to Jinzhou after Lu Zhongcheng informs us."

The reason why there is no need to follow here is that if they continue to follow, they will have to cross the Yalu River, which is easy to be discovered by the Manchu Qing army.And after crossing the Yalu River, this food protection team must go to Zhenjiang Fort to rest and recuperate, and then go to Tangzhan Fort to rest and recuperate the next day, otherwise they will have to camp in the wild, which will not only suffer but also be unsafe!

The [-] cavalry led by Lu Xiangsheng, and the [-] infantry who came later by Cao Bianjiao, were hiding on the mountain where the battlefield was scheduled.No one was sent to Ye Bu Receive until after receiving the news from Li Deming that Lu Xiangsheng asked Gao Yingyuan to go to the top of the mountain to monitor the movement on the official road at the foot of the mountain.

As expected, before evening, the grain protection team from the Qing Dynasty had already arrived at Zhenjiang Fort.Azig looked at the sky, felt that it was still early, and wanted to lead the army to continue walking for a while.But Yang Guli immediately advised safety first.

Hearing this, Azig felt a little helpless, so he had to rest in Zhenjiang Fort.But this is not over yet, Yanguli continued nagging, asking Azig to send scout horses to investigate the front and rear official channels.

At this time, Azig became a little impatient, and he said to Yang Guli: "It's only a day's journey from here to Tangzhan Fort, and the Ming army would only rob food on this road if they wanted to die. Besides, it is even more difficult to come this way. In precipitous places, even more desolate and inhabited places, the Ming army has not appeared, and it will not appear here!"

"Lord Baylor, be careful!" Yang Guli continued to advise, "It doesn't take too much supplies to send out scouts. Before leaving, the emperor repeatedly told us that we must ensure the safety of these supplies. Whether we can get through it, and whether we can slow down in the coming year, all depends on this batch of food and grass supplies..."

Hearing that he moved out of Huang Taiji again to suppress him, although he was annoyed, there was nothing he could do about it. Therefore, between Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort, Manqing Tanma began to appear, and there was an endless stream of contacts.As long as traces of the Ming army are found on this road, the news can be spread to Zhenjiang Fort and Tangzhan Fort immediately.

On Lu Xiangsheng's side, after Gao Yingyuan reported the abnormal situation on the official road, he knew that the grain protection team was not far away.So, the military order was passed down and preparations for battle began.

After the military order was issued, he said to Cao Bianjiao: "Whether you can deal a heavy blow to the Manchu Qing army this time depends on your new army!"

His own battalion of hussars only totaled eight hundred.As for the infantry of the Dongjiang Army, it is still somewhat difficult to take the initiative to attack the Jurchen elite and win them in field battles.Therefore, this time it was not dispatched at all.

Among the [-] Ming troops sent out, apart from the hussar battalion, there were also [-] elite cavalry troops from Guan Ning, and the rest of the horse infantry were all members of the new army.Therefore, the army used for field battles against the Manchus was mainly composed of new troops.

"Lord Zhong Cheng, don't worry, the new army trained by the emperor is to fight in the field and win battles." The supervisor Feng Dehua did not wait for Cao Bianjiao to speak, but he said with a smile first, "There is no problem in dealing with these Jian captives!"

Cao Bianjiao also nodded and said: "Master Zhongcheng, please don't worry, the general will personally lead the army to fight, and will definitely defeat the enemy immediately. Jurchen elites are also human, and their morale is premature. The army is here!"

Seeing that both of them were full of confidence, Lu Xiangsheng was very satisfied.At the same time, he was also slightly envious. He had seen the military discipline and combat effectiveness of the new army with his own eyes. Commanding such an army is really the wish of every leader!
Early the next morning, the gate of Zhenjiang Fort opened, and groups of scouts roared out, along the official road, heading for Tangzhan Fort.At the same time, on the side of Tangzhan Fort, Tan Ma, who stayed here last night, also roared towards Zhenjiang Fort.On the official road, every few quarters of an hour, you can see a team of Manchu scouts passing by like thieves.

In fact, the speed of these scouting horses is much faster. When they were in North Korea, these Manchu scouting horses searched all the way. .

They, of course, knew that when the Ming army ambushed the grain transport team in the past, they would dig holes or set up obstacles on the official road, and they would choose a place where there was no Qing army in the surrounding area to rescue them in time.But now this section of road, this place, is different from what it used to be. No matter what the Ming army is, it is impossible to set up an ambush here!
All the way from Seoul, no trace of the Ming army was ever found, not even a single Ming army was found at night.They were a little sloppy, and their speed on the road was much faster.If the Ming army had the idea of ​​harvesting these grains, at least they would have discovered the traces of Yebu Harvest first, right?
"Master Yangguli is getting old after all, and his courage has become weaker. He insists on urging our master to send us out!" A scout looked around boredly, and said to his accomplice while urging the horse to go fast. .

Apparently, all of these scouts are from Azig, and they have a problem with Yanguli.Hearing his words, another inspector smiled and said, "Forget it, at least we can have a full meal first, and it's worth it!"

"That's right, if I don't go on missions, I'm always hungry. Look, I've lost a lot of weight!" No.3 Manqing Tanma also said with emotion, and even patted his thigh.

Hearing his words, the other Manqing Tanma couldn't help feeling the same way, and they all said that they had lost a lot of weight.These Manchu scouts mainly talked and joked along the way, while perfunctorily walking along the official road to the ground to complete the task.

When the first batch of Manchu explorers from Tangzhanbao arrived at Zhenjiangbao and said that there were no accidents on the way, Azig said to Yangguli in a provocative tone: "Why, can we hurry? We are here One more day of lingering on the road will consume one more day's worth of food! If there is less food to bring back to Shenyang, the emperor will be unhappy!"

"Be careful, there is no big mistake!" Yang Guli insisted, but there was no reason to stop him at this time. After saying this, he nodded and said, "It's the best if there is nothing wrong."

Hearing this, Azig didn't bother to talk to him. He was an old man who had lost all his courage when he was young. He could die sooner and waste Qing's food while he was alive.

With that in mind, he gave the order to set off.

All of a sudden, the food guards, who had waited impatiently for a long time, escorted carts of grain and supplies, and under the envious eyes of the Zhenjiang Fort defenders, filed out, forming a long snake, along the official road, towards Tang Fort forward.

On the originally sparsely populated Liaodong official road, the popularity suddenly became active, the sound of horseshoes sounded from time to time, and the dust brought up by the grain guard army could be seen from afar.

Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Denglai, saw the movement from a distance, and asked Wei Mulan next to him again: "Contact North Korea, is there any sign of the thousand troops who have been watching too much returning?"

After hearing this, Wei Mulan immediately agreed, and then entered the chat group to ask Li Deming.After a while, he withdrew and said, "Since Duduo's army returned to Seoul yesterday, they haven't seen each other again. They probably won't return suddenly."

Ambush this food protection team, whether it is Tangzhan Fort or Zhenjiang Fort, it is not a big deal. After all, the army in this kind of place is probably hungry every day. the difference.The only thing to worry about is Duduo's army. They are all Jurchen elites, and they are full of food every day along the way, so they still have fighting power.

After everything was confirmed, Lu Xiangsheng made a decision. Looking at the generals around him, he ordered with a serious face, "According to the prior arrangement, attack!"

"The last general obeys orders!" Cao Bianjiao and the others clasped their hands into fists immediately after hearing this, with a hint of excitement and high morale, they responded loudly.

On the official road, sitting on a slow-moving war horse, Azig turned his head to look down the road, but he could no longer see Zhenjiang Fort behind him.He looked back and forth at the long line of grain carts, not without complacency in his heart.At the beginning, the emperor told him that the more food he brought back from Seoul, the greater his contribution.

What made him happy was that Dorgon didn't make it difficult, and really gave a lot of food.Along the way, except for the first few days when Azig fed his troops enough food, at other times, he thought about bringing more food back to Liaoyang, so he reduced the food supply for the Han army.

After arriving in Sinuiju, Azig saw that he was "safe", so he also reduced the supply to his tribe members, only about two-thirds of the previous one.Even the thousand troops that Yanguli brought, he actually didn't supply them in full.This army is used to being hungry in Liaodong, even if they are given less, they are still grateful, which is really funny.Only running back and forth to explore the horse, still did not reduce the weight.

Now, looking at the carts of food, Azig has a smile on his face.When I returned to Shenyang this time, the food I brought back would definitely surprise the emperor.Hehe, some people always think that they are simple-minded, this time, they want to prove to others, who is the simple-minded!
