Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Glancing at the two guarding eunuchs who were looking at each other, Zhao Youhu swallowed hard, and finally said firmly: "The regent means that I will go to war, and you will defend Shanhaiguan without losing anything, right?"

He Wenzhao nodded: "Yes."

"Since as long as Shanhaiguan is not lost, then if you occupy Jinzhou and hold on to it, will you also ensure that Shanhaiguan is not lost?"

"Yes."

"Then take another step forward. As long as we take Beining, the key to Liaoxi, Shanhaiguan will not be lost, right?"

He Wenzhao slapped his thigh: "That's right."

"You defended Shanhaiguan without any fault or merit, but you occupied Beining, recovered the entire western Liaoning, and changed the entire strategic pattern of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Isn't it a huge achievement?"

He Wenzhao slapped his thigh so loudly that it made a loud noise: "That's right."

"In this case, I think that if I leave with 2 cavalry, General He's soldiers will guard Shanhaiguan alone. It is not safe, and I can't rest assured. And I led the troops into Liaodong, because there is no way back, I There is no return, so why don't we mobilize the entire army for the sake of my retreat and the safety of Shanhaiguan, first capture Jinzhou City, and then attack Guangning with heavy troops.

General He, you must know that Guangning is the key to the strategic position of the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. That is self-evident. As long as we capture Guangning, from then on, western Liaoning will completely return to the Ming Dynasty, and Shanhaiguan will become a safe inland rear area.

And as long as we have this base and face the unobstructed plain east of Beining, we will threaten Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, at any time.

It doesn’t take much at ordinary times. As long as a warrior runs to the gate of Shengjing with a banner and a war horse, he can scare Dorgon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty three times a day and make that shitty little Shunzhi emperor piss himself. How great would that be? ah. "

He Wenzhao punched the map: "As long as we take advantage of the enemy's empty strength this time and capture Beining, Jinzhou, then no matter how big-hearted Dorgon is, no matter whether you can attack Shengjing or not, he will still have to withdraw his troops. , come and compete with us for Guangning, the only gateway to Shengjing.

So, instead of leaving 2 soldiers with no chance of returning and mobilizing the Manchu forces, why don't we be here, not only can we mobilize the Manchu forces, but we can also push the front line in western Liaoning forward three hundred miles, so that we can move forward in the future Strategically, is it in a favorable position? "

Zhao Youhu was overjoyed: "General He has actually seen this step. It's really gratifying."

The two guarding eunuchs looked at each other and smiled: He Wenzhao could not figure this out. It was Zhao Youhu who was so persuasive and persuasive.

"Does General He dare to implement this change plan with me?" Then he added: "I am the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and you are under my control. If my strategy fails, I will take full responsibility and fight with you, General He." It’s irrelevant.”

Then, for fear of scaring He Wenzhao, he weakly explained that it was actually necessary for the guarding eunuch to record and report: "Actually, when we did this, we did not change the regent's grand strategy, we just made some fine-tuning internally. "

He Wenzhao laughed loudly: "Master General, you underestimate my responsibility. Since I agreed to this new plan, I have the responsibility. If you make a mistake, we will take responsibility together."

Then he also glanced at the eunuch of the Supervisory Army beside him: "Besides, it is military common sense to implement the original regent's plan and capture Jinzhou and Guangning. It's just to save some time by going around, and waste some time by capturing these two places. When we occupy Guangning, we will be in a position where we can advance, attack, retreat and defend. This will greatly change the strategic pattern of the Ming Dynasty against the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. If the enemy has not sent back reinforcements, your commander will bring your 2 troops. Isn’t it the same for Warrior Wan Guan Ning to continue to carry out the regent’s orders and enter the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty?”

The two eunuchs who were recording quickly smiled at each other, and then said deliberately: "quibble." The meaning was very clear. We don't care about your business, we are just recording, but you two, don't treat us as fools. .

However, this sophistry also showed that the two of them had no intention of stopping Zhao Youhu and He Wenzhao's action plan.

We are just faithfully recording and conveying it, and we will never over-interpret your plans. He Wenzhao calmly reminded Zhao Youhu: "According to the actual situation, it is not strange for the regent to change the battle plan, but it must be reported. If the regent agrees, then we will continue our plan. If the regent does not agree, then we must follow the original plan. Execution. This point must not be overstepped.

According to the regent, he doesn't do micromanaging, but he must grasp the overall dynamics. Then provide control and adjustments in the general direction. To this end, we can take Jinzhou first, and in the meantime we will report and wait for the regent to make a decision. "

"This is what it should be. I will report the plan now at eight hundred miles."

He sat down and wrote a battle report carefully, then signed his name and sealed it.

He Wenzhao laughed and said, "Pull me into the water, but you won't let me share in this incredible victory. Commander-in-Chief, you are not kind." Then he took the battle report and signed his name without hesitation.

After eight hundred miles of expedited delivery, the two people took action urgently.

With such a big change in the army, Shanhaiguan Liaodong Manager hurriedly came to ask for details.

Now, under Lu Mou's strict regulations, civilian officials are only responsible for local government affairs and are absolutely not allowed to interfere in the military. Civil servants are not allowed to dictate military matters to generals. Of course, the civil servants are no longer responsible for the failure of the war and the loss of the city.

But this time, Zhao Youhu and He Wenzhao's Third Army planned to leave only one battalion of 1,000 soldiers to guard Shanhaiguan, and Liaodong Manager panicked. Then he came to ask about the reason for the plan.

Zhao Youhu confessed his plan, and then said: "As long as we capture Jinzhou, Shanhaiguan will no longer be the front line, and if we capture Beining, our general military office will be moved there, then Shanhaiguan will be the rear, and there will be no need for any more The soldiers defended it. Shanhaiguan will become a peaceful place for merchants to gather. "

He Wenzhao smiled and joked: "Sir, Mr. Li, you have been doing the Liaodong business strategy for two or three years. In the end, your control is just a small Shanhaiguan town. You are not worthy of your name. This time we will take over Liaoxi for you and let you do it." A veritable experience, aren’t you satisfied?”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li was so excited that he trembled all over. For two or three years, I was wearing a big hat, but in front of a Shanhaiguan County Magistrate, I felt so depressed. Now it's good. Although it's not the whole of Liaodong, it can at least manage a few counties in western Liaoning. Why isn't it exciting?

At that time, he patted his skinny chest and promised: "I immediately mobilized the common people to help the two generals transport food and supplies and go all out to support the front line."

The three people held their hands together. When three people work together, they become tigers.

Time was running out, so they did what they said. Zhao Youhu and He Wenzhao dispatched their entire army. Li Jinglue mobilized the civilians, and then followed up. They attacked the first target - Jinzhou City, the throat of western Liaoning, and vowed to defeat it at all costs.

Zu Dale never expected that Guan Ning, the shrunken turtle who had always only attacked in small groups to harvest people's heads for harassment and destruction, would suddenly send out an army of 50,000 men and attack his own Jinzhou in a fierce manner.

Jinzhou now only has 5,000 defenders with white flags under its control, and they are not elite. The elites have been transferred to the Great Wall battlefield by the regent. How can we defend this city?
Therefore, Zu Dale was also a decisive person. He risked being punished by Dorgon and losing his city and his land. When Guanning was still far away, he led the entire army and rushed to Beining with his family property. Another group of 5,000 troops from Beining gathered together.

He knew that as long as he defended Beining, the regent would not punish him.

Then he began to write memorials and asked Dorgon for help.

Dorgon was horrified when he heard this. Beining must not be lost, so he immediately sent an order to choose multiple front lines, and mobilized the Han army to set up white flags. The total number of Han troops with white flags was 50,000, to rescue Beining.

Zhao Youhu finally mobilized a Qing army to leave the Great Wall battlefield and achieved the original strategic goal. (End of chapter)
