The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 328 Voting can also be played like this
After all, Huang Long is the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, and it stands to reason that he has the highest position among the military attaches sitting here.

But he can clearly recognize his situation. First of all, there is an angel here and it is Fang Zhenghua, the chief eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor.

Secondly, there is also the emperor's pro-army here. The chief general is Beizhen Fusiqian Li Ruolian, who actually gave Qianhu Li Ruolian, and his right to speak is beyond doubt.

Furthermore, Huang Han, the chief general of the "Red Banner Army", was responsible for the plan to counterattack the Southern Four Guards this time, and he was also the one who executed the plan. Even Shenshuying and Jinyiwei were sent by the emperor to cooperate.

His decision is a military order, and Huang Han has personal charm, basically there is no general here who refuses to obey his command.

Therefore, Huang Long placed himself in the fourth place. He looked at Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian and saw that they were all looking at Huang Han and had no intention of speaking. He cleared his throat and said:

"Generals, although Phoenix Fort was built by Lord Wanli for many years, it is not comparable to Xiuyan Fort. This official suggests that our army should plunder around the fort and give up attacking this castle."

Huang Han raised his hand and said in agreement: "I agree with Huang Zongbing's opinion. Who else agrees, please raise your hand."

All the generals are not people who talk about war on paper, they all have actual combat experience. Everyone has personally visited the defense of Phoenix Fort, and they know that it is difficult to make a quick victory, and even a cavalry raid cannot be done.Everyone raised their hands and voted to give up the city.

Huang Han continued: "Now our army is faced with two choices. The first choice is to retreat back to the Jinzhou camp. The second choice is to bypass Phoenix Fort and advance to the northeast. There are many slaves living in that direction. In three or four days, you can reach the area of ​​Kuandian Wubao, and it is estimated that the gains and seizures will double."

This is the truth. The Ming army felt that the further north, the closer to Shenyang, the denser the villages where slaves were built. It is possible that this is the inland and rear that Hou Jin believed.

Another show of hands voted, and this time there were big differences. A dozen generals from Dongjiang Town, headed by Shen Shikui and Li Weiluan, thought it was time to go back. , they vehemently opposed going back.

The eldest brother Shang Keyi spoke as a representative: "Generals, the people of Dongjiang Town have been beaten to death by Jiannu in the past few years, and they have nowhere to hide. In the end, they had to hide on the island with nothing to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies."

The generals of Dongjiang Town remembered the past, everyone nodded in agreement, many people chattered, and some people began to complain about how Yuan Chonghuan ruined Dongjiang Town.

Everyone thinks that in the early years of Dongjiang Town, there was Yizhou farming and smuggling Korean ginseng, bear's paw, Dongzhu and other Liaodong specialties in Dongjiang Town, everyone thought that life was not bad.

Ever since Yuan Chonghuan took control of Liaodong, Dongjiang Town has been in trouble, and many people died of starvation or cannibalism for a bite of food.

Shang Keyi saw that his speech aroused the sympathy of his robe and continued: "Now is the time for us to land in Liaonan to avenge our revenge. The people and horses in Dongjiang Town have lived a very happy life, drinking small wine every day, eating beef and mutton, and white flour. Cooking cake tube is enough.

All of this is nothing, the key is that every day they can kill dozens of hundreds of young and middle-aged slaves, and they can take at least one or two hundred war horses and draft horses.Wouldn't it be a waste of money to give up such a good situation and go back at this time? "

Shang Kexi interjected: "It's more than that, in just a few days, the sons and daughters under the command of the subordinates have all mended their iron armors, and each one of them is blushing.

You should also know that if you seize a slave village, at least one or two thousand taels of yellow and white objects will be found. Although the gold and silver treasures seized have not yet been distributed, the sons and daughters know it well, and they have more than a dozen taels of silver in their hands. Not surprising, Dongjiang soldiers are suffering!When will I be able to receive my brother's one-year military salary at one time? "

Shang Kejin stood up and said: "It's a pity to give up when the battle is easy to fight. Can such a good opportunity appear after this period of time? I think that we should attack as many Jiannu villages as possible. When you get money, you won’t regret why you didn’t make more.”

Shang Keyi said: "Thus, the three of us believe that when we know that the main force of slave building is about to fight fiercely with the Guanning Army and the Daming Frontier Army that aided Liao in Dalinghe City, we must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In the absence of any intelligence that there will be thousands of Jiannu troops coming to aid in the short term, our army can get more gains and captures by looting the hinterland of Jiannu for one more day, which undoubtedly weakens Jiannu and strengthens our army.

Besides, everyone has seen what kind of life those enslaved Han Chinese lived. Rescuing them should be like rebuilding a seven-level pagoda. "

Fang Zhenghua has been listening carefully. The words of weakening Jiannu and strengthening our army have touched his heartstrings. He is loyal to Chongzhen and Daming, and hates Jiannu. Of course he is happy to see the results if he can weaken Jiannu. The casualties of Heshenshuying and Jinyiwei were not spared.

He didn't think that Huang Han would suffer a loss, so he didn't consider increasing the casualties of the "Red Banner Army". If it was really dangerous to stay and continue fighting, Huang Han would definitely not want the "Red Banner Army" to lose, and he would always have a way to deal with it.

Fang Zhenghua saw that the generals who were drinking and drinking around the bonfire had a lively discussion. They each expressed their opinions and explained the pros and cons of whether to stay or not. If this continues, no decision will be made until dawn.

He stood up and said seriously: "Our proposal should be voted by a show of hands. Everyone needs to express their attitude, and they can't be vague. There are only two choices: go or stay. The general who decides to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, please vote." hand."

There are quite a few generals who are ready to take them back as soon as they are ready. Jinyiwei is a special group. Those who are above the small flag officer can participate in the gathering of generals. The Shenshu Camp also has special privileges. Those with more than [-] households can discuss affairs here. Half of them hold hands up.

Fang Zhenghua looked at it, and it seemed that more than half of the people had voted to withdraw and return to the Jinzhou camp.

Huang Han saw that Fang Zhenghua's original intention was to gain the support of the generals to stay and work for a few more days, causing as much damage to Jiannu as possible.

Playing the trick of voting by show of hands, which seems to be democratic but is actually very random, Huang Han has seen it a lot in his previous life, changing the order may change the result, and the charismatic leader who votes first will drive the fence-sitting faction.

Huang Han, who knew how to control democracy, said loudly without losing the opportunity: "Those who are willing to stay and make persistent efforts to cut down slaves, rob gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep and horses please raise your hands."

After finishing speaking, Huang Han raised his right hand high, followed by Hanzi and Yang Danian, and then all the generals present of the "Red Banner Army" raised their hands high.

It turned out that voting with a show of hands can be played like this, Fangzheng was overjoyed, and quickly raised his left hand.
