I'm really not the carpenter emperor

The joint attack of the three parties cannot be done without the efforts of any party, and North Korea's attitude is the most important thing.

As a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, North Korea does not expect them to win the war this time. As long as the formation is large enough and cooperates with Mao Wenlong, Denglai, and Tianjin Port's navy, it will be enough to succeed.

"Is there any news about Mao Wenlong?"

Cao Wenzhao sneered and said:

"Back to Taiwan, Mao Wenlong had a quarrel with Marshal Jin Jingrui of the Eighth Route of Korea in Uiju. Regardless of the date we set, he went to Kuandian five days ago."

Xue Laiyin said: "Taitai, Dongjiang Army Songshan can't afford to lose, their position is right behind Jiannu, should we urge Jin Jingrui?"

The meaning of these words is obvious, Daming has to protect the calf, let's not ask why the quarrel started, just reprimand Jin Jingrui, and comfort Dongjiang's army is the most important thing.

After these words fell, Xiong Tingbi's expression immediately became a little strange, and he said:

"If you don't know, check it out!"

"Whoever made a mistake in this matter, we have to help them. Besides, at this critical moment, the troops of the Eighth Route Army of North Korea are very important, and their hearts cannot be chilled."

"Mao Wenlong sent troops without authorization, and the military law is merciless. After this battle, the governor will personally ask him why he didn't obey the military order!"

……

Mao Wenlong didn't know what had happened with Jin Jingrui in Uiju. North Korea, which had promised to send troops, was silent. Mao Wenlong also sent troops a few days in advance, which completely disrupted Xiong Tingbi's deployment.

Because of the importance of this matter, Xiong Tingbi wrote a rush note that night, telling people to hurry up and present himself to the Emperor Apocalypse, saying that there is no room for loss.

Due to the distance, when Zhu Youxiao, who was in Xinuange, received Xiong Tingbi's urgent performance, it was already a day later.

This prelude is very comprehensive, Xiong Tingbi listed all his deployment and worries about this battle, as well as the current changes.

In the end, a series of demands were made to the court.

Xiong Tingbi had already prepared the deployment of the three-party joint attack half a month ago. He first discussed with Zhu Xieyuan and decided on an approximate time for the joint attack.

Then for Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou in Guangning, as well as Jin Jingrui, Marshal of the Eighth Route Army of Korea, and Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of Zhenjiang, a strict joint dispatch time was specified.

Xiong Tingbi has also stressed several times that the implementation of the three-party joint attack strategy requires contact with North Korea. He has already sent a messenger to Jin Jingrui, telling him to send troops in a timely manner.

Due to the change of Mao Wenlong this time, North Korea did not send troops to assist as agreed, which greatly increased the pressure on Liaoshen.

Xiong Tingbi recommended Liang Zhiyuan, Deputy Superintendent of the Army, as the imperial envoy in the urgent performance, saying that he grew up by the sea and was familiar with Korean language and culture, so he could take on important tasks.

Naturally, Zhu Youxiao had nothing to say, so he played everything on time.

Xiong Tingbi's three-party arrangement was based on his own instructions in advance. Xiong Tingbi ordered North Korea to send troops to assist with his letter of credence, but North Korea actually let go of the pigeons.

It seems that if they don't send an imperial envoy, they don't know Daming's attitude on this matter!

Chapter 353 Arresting Yuan Chonghuan

"The decree was issued to order Liang Zhiyuan, deputy envoy of Shenyang Youtun Supervising Army, to go to Korea as an envoy. Everything will be done in accordance with the practice of envoys, and a first-rank official uniform will be given to emphasize the right to speak."

Let the matter of Mao Wenlong and Jin Jingrui be a headache for Liang Zhiqiao, who was sent to North Korea this time. Zhu Youxiao tilted his head and put Xiong Tingbi's melodies aside feebly.

commanded:

"If Liang Zhiqiao had asked for something before going to North Korea, tell Wei Zhongxian that it will be agreed, and there is no need to send it to Qianqing Palace."

Wang Chaofu is Wei Zhongxian's man, so when Emperor Tianqi said this, he naturally understood.

Not surprisingly, Liang Zhiqiao, who is on an envoy to North Korea this time, will definitely ask for something, it is all troublesome things, and there is no need to bother this master.

Although the capital is now ruled by the emperor, there is nothing wrong on the surface, but in the dark, there are always turbulent waves.

Moreover, recently, Emperor Tianqi frequently summoned the British Duke Zhang Weixian, who commanded the five armies, to discuss matters, as if he was planning some big move again.

Zhu Youxiao has more important things to attend to, and it is safest to entrust Wei Zhongxian to handle such trivial matters, as others cannot achieve the desired effect.

Putting it aside for now, North Korea's refusal to send troops to assist is a slap in the face of Daming.

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao issued a decree to approve the strategy of "three-party joint attack" requested by Xiong Tingbi's memorial, and the day after the decree reached Shenyang Youtun Acropolis, Liang Zhiyuan's request was sent to the Supervisor of Rites.

The content of the request is all about the imperial court's need to strengthen the authority of the mission to North Korea this time and determine the responsibilities and other requirements. It is troublesome to do, but the reason is very simple.

As the suzerain country's envoy minister, Liang Zhiyuan's task was to urge North Korea to enlist soldiers of the Eight Paths to assist in the war in Liaodong, so he had to have an absolute right to speak in front of North Korea's monarchs and ministers.

This requires a lot of things, such as the court uniforms of first-rank officials bestowed by the imperial court.

During the recent period, the imperial court is also analyzing the war in Liaodong on a daily basis.

Cui Chengxiu and the officials of the Ministry of War are discussing with Yousi about the payment of Dongjiang Army, Liaodong County soldiers and the distribution of new ordnance and armor.

In the past, the imperial court also had some problems.

For example, after the order from above was issued, the local officials all waited and watched, so that they could not follow suit and delay the war.

Now, Xiong Tingbi's Liaoshen Ming army has begun to fight with the Houjin army. This battle almost determines the offensive and defensive situation of Liaodong in the next few years, and the whole court is very nervous.

On the one hand, Zhu Youxiao ordered North Korea to conscript soldiers of the Eight Ways, and poured all the strength of the whole country into support;

The Ministry of War quickly issued an order.

Shangshu Cui Chengxiu bribed a young eunuch under Wei Zhongxian to find out the tone of Emperor Tianqi, and then the final decision was made at the ministerial meeting, and Yuan Chonghuan was ordered to lead [-] Ningyuan soldiers to occupy the river and threaten Houjin Northeast.

In the current Ministry of War, although Zhu Youxiao seldom directly orders them to do what to do, all orders are issued according to his wishes.

What happened between Wang Huazhen and Zhang Heming in the past will never happen again.

In the three days after the order was issued, Yuan Chonghuan, the military garrison of Ningyuan, was still standing on the sidelines, refusing to march on the grounds that the general was away and the emperor's order was not accepted.

The Ministry of War repeatedly issued orders to let him go north, but Yuan Chonghuan ignored them, and his arrogant attitude made Cui Chengxiu very angry.

The news of Yuan Chonghuan's continued disobedience was sent back to the Ministry of War again, and the entire Ministry of War was outraged.

Cui Chengxiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, considered that Yuan Chonghuan was Sun Chengzong's confidant, and Sun Chengzong was the emperor's teacher of the current emperor, so he did not directly deal with Yuan Chonghuan.

After deliberation, the order was issued the next day.

The order of the Ministry of War was quickly sent to Ningyuan City outside the pass. Cui Chengxiu knew the seriousness of the situation. Although Yuan Chonghuan was not punished, he was deprived of his command over Ningyuan's troops.

According to the order of the Ministry of War, Zu Dashou was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard, assigned the title of Tongzhi to the commander of Ningyuan Zhongzuo, and was responsible for leading the troops northward to assist Xiong Tingbi.

The Ministry of War has extremely strict wording in this order.

How strict is it?

Cui Chengxiu not only limited the number and time limit of Ning Yuan's soldiers, but also strictly ordered Zu Dashou to immediately detain Yuan Chonghuan and return him to Beijing for his rest.

"If there is disobedience, after three days, the commander-in-chief of the vanguard will be replaced, and Zu Dashou will not be pardoned!"

These are the original words in the order of the Ministry of War, Zu Dashou has no doubts about the authenticity of these words.

He is not Yuan Chonghuan, he has Sun Chengzong's relationship, beheading himself can just shock Ningyuan's army, Cui Chengxiu has nothing to fear.

Ning Yuan is also a very important part of Xiong Tingbi's tripartite arrangement.

Zu Dashou also understood that if he followed Yuan Chonghuan's disobedience, the Ministry of War might ask the emperor to deal with it. At that time, the situation would expand and the entire Ningyuan army would be severely punished.

The biggest possibility is that their ancestors will suffer disaster, and the entire Ningyuan army will be replaced and reshuffled.

The generals here in Ningyuan have not once or twice resisted the orders of the Ministry of War. This is something that cannot be tolerated by the court and the Ministry of War.

If they have developed a resistance to the imperial court from top to bottom, then they need to replace the generals in batches to guard against mutiny.

Cui Chengxiu has prepared for the worst, that is, ordered the arrest of Zu Dashou.

Surprisingly, as soon as the strict order was issued, Zu Dashou immediately ordered his former boss Yuan Chonghuan to be imprisoned, and led Wu Sangui and other generals to cross the Liaohe River and stationed in Anle Prefecture.

The speed is astounding.

The actions of Zu Dashou's [-] Ningyuan Army soon spread to the Houjin Camp outside Shenyang City, and Nurhachi immediately called Zhubeile to discuss countermeasures.

For them, the current situation is not optimistic.

……

At three o'clock in the morning on April [-]th in the third year of Tianqi, the whole army of Hou Jin crossed the Pu River, only [-] miles away from Shenyang, the important town of Liaodong.

The sun gradually rose, illuminating the Eight Banners troops galloping on the ground like a gust of wind.

Nurhachi was wearing armor, looking at the Ming Dynasty city on the other side of the horizon with eagle-like sharp eyes. He was eager in his heart, and he waved his big knife and shouted:

"Children of the Eight Banners, tonight we will drink and eat meat in Shenyang City, and enslave the Han people!"

"Drink and eat meat, and enslave the Han people!!"

The Eight Banners soldiers waved their knives and guns one after another, shouting wildly.

The refraction of the weapon is a bit dazzling.

At this time, a white-armored sentry cavalry rushed back, dismounted and knelt down and said:

"Reporting to the Great Khan, all the Ming troops in the surrounding ten miles have been transferred back to the city. Man Gui is leading [-] Ming troops at the top of the city and vowed to defend it to the death!"

Nurhachi laughed loudly, turned around and ordered Mangurtai and Turge, one of the four Baylors, to lead 3 people to support Daishan from the side and attack the city together.

Nurhachi galloped forward on his horse, followed by his so-called invincible Eight Banners cavalry, sweeping across the plain like a strong wind.

Soon, they came to a place only two or three miles away from Shenyang and set up camp.

Chapter 354 Huang Taiji's Suggestion

"Father Khan!"

Half an hour later, Huang Taiji took a step forward in the Houjin army camp outside Shenyang City, and said loudly:

"The bravery of our Great Gold and Eight Banners warriors is by no means comparable to that of Ming people, even Man Gui's subordinates. It is easy for us to take Shenyang again, but the problem is how to stay for a long time."

"Don't tell me you want to take Shenyang after taking time and effort, and then be taken back by Xiong Tingbi in a year or so?"

"Since we have spent a lot of trouble this time, when we win Shenyang, we must quickly capture Liaoyang and bring the entire Liaoshen Plain into Dajin's territory!"

Originally, everyone was happy that Shenyang was about to be captured, as if the Ming army in the city were all local chickens and dogs, and it was not worth fighting in front of them.

Hearing this, Nurhachi's face became a little dignified.

Indeed, he had never thought of this.

Among the crowd, Dorgon looked at Huang Taiji who had spoken, and thought in his heart that his elder brother had such a long-term mind.

After a while, Nurhachi said in a deep voice:

"My lord, tell me what you think."

Now that Kundulun Khan had spoken, all the Baylors were silent and looked at Huang Taiji who was served by Baylor with a yellow flag.

Of course Huang Taiji understood the meaning of Nurhachi's words. After returning home last night, he went to Fan Wencheng again and thought about the whole battle situation.

He sorted out his thoughts, and then said:

"Father Khan, for many years, the Ming Dynasty has used the border wall as its boundary. Even if my people cross the border wall, they are just killing and looting. If I do this, the Liao people will be afraid when they see my big golden banner. How can we do it for a long time?"

"Father Khan should issue a clear order to tell those bannermen who own slaves and manors to treat the Liao people well, recruit more Liao people to serve as officials in Dajin, and win people's hearts."

Nurhachi has never thought about it so much, although sometimes he also thinks about what he wants to fight Xiong Tingbi in Shenyang again and again.

Even though his eyelids twitched when he heard the words of emphasizing the Liao people and treating the Liao people well, he was still happy in his heart and said happily:

"Look, everyone, this is the son of my Kundulun Khan Nurhaci!"

"With such a son, why can't you take Liao Shen down?"

After Nurhachi finished speaking, everyone laughed and praised Huang Taiji's long-term vision and wisdom.

Huang Taiji was a little relieved, but still eagerly said:

"Father Khan! My son is not thinking of Liaoshen, but with the help of Liaoshen to make my Dajin stronger, and then spy on Ning Jin, and seize the Han family's hundreds of thousands of years of history!"

"This is what I deserve from Aixinjueluo's family. Father Khan, you should also sit on the dragon chair in the capital!"

After hearing this, Nurhachi could no longer remain indifferent, the smile on his face froze for a moment, he stood up abruptly, and said loudly:

"well said!"

"However, Ben Khan is not uncommon for the dragon chair of the Ming people. Ask my sons who are brave and good at fighting, and the descendants of the Aixinjueluo family to sit on it!"

The crowd continued to congratulate and applauded.

Fan Wencheng found an opportunity when his voice was slightly weaker, and said rightly:

"Khan, I think that the Ming Dynasty likes to use the side wall as the boundary. Although we captured Liaoshen last time and plundered a large amount of property and Liao people, we did not destroy the side wall."

"After re-entering Shenyang, the Great Khan must remember to destroy all the forts in the area from Shenyang to Fushun. Breaking down their side walls can remove the obstacles for our army to enter Liaodong. While the Ming army is still in Fuyuwei, the Great Khan can send troops. Go south, straight to Liaoyang!"
