The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 31 The Great Opportunity
"Xu Dabao victory report: On the 1st of this month, hundreds of thieves and slaves attacked Daxing Fort, and the fort was broken. Leading to the Liugu River, the dead soldiers Song Fei, Zhao Dashan, Li Zhongyi, etc. ambushed, attacked the bandits halfway across, and won a complete victory. Unexpectedly, the bandits and slaves came to help—"

Yuan Chonghuan watched it from beginning to end with a look of disbelief.

He stood on the spot holding the military newspaper, unable to recover for a long time.

Fang Daren was a little strange, he stood up cautiously, poked his head for a few glances, but he didn't understand.

"Who is Xu Dabao guarding?" Fang Daren asked softly after reading.

Yuan Chonghuan let out a long sigh of relief, raised his head, frowned and said, "Xu Dabao and Zhang Cheng are serving as the defense officer with the position of a thousand households."

"It's the defense officer?" Fang Daren was also unbelievable. Xu Dabao is a big castle, so it stands to reason that there should be defense.

"Zhang Cheng didn't have many soldiers, they were all defeated soldiers from Juehua Island back then, and most of them were sailors," Yuan Chonghuan explained.

"Ao" Fang Dayi responded with a deep meaning, as if he had realized something.

It was Yuan Chonghuan who was in charge of the great victory in Ningyuan that year. The later gold slave chief Nurhachi was defeated at the city of Ningyuan.

Unexpectedly, Hou Jin suddenly stormed Juehua Island, smashed it, and beheaded more than 7000 soldiers stationed on the island, plus more than 7000 civilians, totaling [-] people.

Big wins turned into big losses.

Yuan Chonghuan was furious at the time, and he was shocked and frightened, for fear that someone in the court would say that the machine would make trouble.

Fortunately, not long after Nu Chief went back, he died suddenly.

So Yuan Chonghuan turned the crisis into safety and turned into a great victory.

Of course, so many people died in Juehua Island, and Yuan didn't get much benefit, so he was transferred away soon.

So Yuan must be very upset about the matter of Juehua Island.

Zhang Cheng was the only well-known general who escaped from Juehua Island, and was later assigned to garrison Xu Dabao. In fact, it was a dangerous place, far from the front line of the Jin army.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng had his own boat, and he was going to run away if he couldn't beat him, but he stayed there for several years with peace of mind.

When he was appointed at the time, Yuan Chonghuan said that he didn't have many soldiers and horses, so he gave them to the defenders but not to the garrison.

The battle of Juehua Island affected Yuan's future, so Yuan didn't like the defeated troops on Juehua Island.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, when Yuan returned to Liaodong, the first good news came from the defeated soldiers of Juehua Island.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, what stunned Yuan Chonghuan was his content.

"What did Zhang Cheng write?" Yuan Chonghuan finally came to his senses.

"The soldiers of Daxing Fort killed more than a dozen Tartars and ran east for dozens of miles to Xu Dabao?"

"He also appointed this Ding Yi as the acting defense officer without authorization?"

It's so messed up, Zhang Cheng thought he was the supervisor?
According to the early Ming Dynasty, at the level of a defensive officer, at least Yuan Chonghuan had to be appointed and reported to the Ministry of War for approval and verification.

There is no way to talk about Zhang Chenglai's appointment.

Zhang Cheng said in the military newspaper that the Tartars were about to attack, the military situation was urgent, he was seriously injured, and Ding Yi was good at fighting, so he was entrusted to act as a temporary defense officer.

The reason sounds good, but Yuan Chonghuan cannot accept it.

"It's a jerk, who does Zhang Cheng think he is? Someone--" Yuan Chonghuan was furious after watching it.

"Master Supervisor." Fang Daren pressed him fiercely: "If it's true, this is an opportunity."

Fang Daren said, he glanced at Shang Fang's sword in the hall from the corner of his eye.

Yuan Chonghuan came back to his senses in an instant, he was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Tell Xu Dabao's soldiers."

This time Zhang Cheng sent three cavalry to report victory in three directions, and two of them finally arrived in Ningyuan.

One of them came in with a long, thin needle in his hand.

After it was handed over to Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan realized that it was the tip of the helmet on the back Jinbaijia soldier.

Zhang Cheng was afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would not believe him, so he deliberately asked someone to fold off the tip of the Duoge Iron Armor and bring it back.

"Did you two see fourteen real Tartar heads?" Yuan Chonghuan sternly said, "There is no joke in the army. If any fakes are found, the headquarters will chop off your heads."

The two families kowtowed at the same time and shouted: "It is absolutely true, the villain has seen everything with his own eyes, and has seen everything."

After the other servant finished speaking, he added: "The villain is willing to guarantee it with his head, it is absolutely true."

Well, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes lit up and his face showed joy.

"This Ding Yi is indeed a talented person. It's no problem to behead the fourteenth grade and confer the third grade. Deputy Qianhu will be the team officer." Fang Daren said with a smile.

Of course there is no problem, but a good person was done by Zhang Cheng. Originally, I should do this, Yuan Chonghuan thought to himself.

He rolled his eyes and asked again: "How is Zhang Cheng's injury?"

The eyes of the two families were red, and one of them choked up directly: "My lord is seriously injured, I'm afraid-I'm afraid I won't survive for a few days."

"Otherwise, Master Ding will not be the defense officer." Another servant Ding cried bitterly: "Master Supervisor, please send troops to rescue."

"Tartars will definitely attack again in the next two days."

The two kowtowed desperately, begging Yuan Fabing to rescue them.

In fact, Zhang Cheng didn't ask them to ask for help, but just asked him to send a good news.

But what Zhang Cheng meant was that it was obvious that Ding Yi was a talent. If you want to take a fancy to Mr. Yuan, you'd better save him.

"A thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." Fang Daren whispered beside him.

He also wanted to remind Yuan Chonghuan that right now, it was time to send troops to save people, so he took advantage of the opportunity to accept Ding Yi, an officer who could fight.

If you send troops now, Ding Yi must be very grateful, why don't you join your sect?
Yuan Chonghuan didn't think so.

The headquarters is now sending troops to rescue Ding Yi, he may be thanking Zhang Cheng.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the fort?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

"There are less than three hundred soldiers." The servants deliberately said that there were fewer.

Yuan Chonghuan thought to himself, the Hou Jin army came in to sweep this time, there were not many people, only a few Niulu, divided into each fort, and each time they attacked a fort, there was at most one Niulu. Given the terrain of Xu Dabao, it should be Keep it up.

Zhang Cheng said that Ding Yi is so good at fighting, I will see if he can defend Xu Dabao, if he can defend, he knows how to play, so why not take him under his command.

Yuan Chonghuan actually has another thought.

If Houjin really attacks again, no matter whether Ding Yi defends or not, there will definitely be deaths.

Regardless of whether Ding Yi died or not, as long as Hou Jinbing died, the more heads he had, the greater his contribution.

He was originally worried that if he wanted to kill Mao Wenlong, he would be pursued by Chongzhen afterwards, and he hated him.

But if he made a great contribution and beheaded a large number of Houjin soldiers, it would be too late for Emperor Chongzhen to be happy, and he would be blamed.

"Okay, the headquarters has its own arrangements, you go down first." Yuan Chonghuan thought about the pros and cons, and finally made a decision: "The two of you rest in the city for a day and set off the day after tomorrow. If the Tartars retreat, let Ding Yi send someone to The heads of the Tartars were escorted to Ningyuan."

The two families didn't dare to say anything, so they could only resign.

As soon as the two families left, Fang Daren laughed loudly: "Congratulations to the supervisor, congratulations to the supervisor, this is really a great opportunity."

Yuan Chonghuan sneered, and looked towards Xu Dabao through the window: "A dozen heads are nothing, if he is really capable, killing dozens more will be considered a chance."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, understood each other's thoughts, and smiled together.

　Tomorrow's war is coming, and the most tragic offensive and defensive battle in the history of Ming Dynasty is coming.Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for investment.This book will never be a eunuch, everyone trust me.
