Win the Ding 1617

"Princess! The general is incompetent, please save my miserable uncle for the sake of being a courtier of the Ming Dynasty who has also fought bloody battles with the Liao bandits!"

When he said this, Wu Sangui, the dignified general of Ningyuan, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and a powerful figure in Liaodong who is also a well-connected and powerful figure, knelt down on the ground, his face was full of tears, and bitterly complained to Li Huamei, who was sitting in the chief seat. plead.

Such a move immediately shocked the people present so that their jaws almost dropped, only Qiu Minyang, who was accompanying him on the guest seat, snorted in his heart, "Warrior has no virtue, especially shameless!"

But no one paid attention to him, and people's attention was focused on Wu Sangui.I just heard him continue to cry with snot and tears.

"Poor old man who has been guarding Jinzhou for several months. Just a few days after the siege was released, he was surrounded by Jiannu like an iron bucket! Princess, there is no one who leads soldiers in this world, and his life is more miserable than General Mo's miserable uncle." Is it? When the siege was cleared at the beginning of the day, the general was ordered by the supervisor to deliver supplies to Jinzhou City. He also specially sent dozens of jars of shochu he liked to drink to the old man, as well as a lot of pigs and sheep. Accompanying him that day When the old people drink, the old people say, let’s keep the wine today, and when Liaoshen is recovered and the old territory is restored in the future, I will drink with you and other children and nephews in Shenyang. As a result, I am trapped inside and out again. . "Mr. Wu, why bother! This princess came here under the imperial decree and my father's order to break the siege of Jinzhou, and together with my great Ming and Liaodong Jianer, gather and wipe out Huang Taiji's bandit slaves in Jinzhou, Guangning Between. Why do you have to do this?" Li Huamei signaled two guards to help Wu Zongbing, who was kneeling in front of the crowd, to his feet.

"Princess! But you don't know the suffering in the siege of Jinzhou!"

Wu Sangui is a bit like a drunken person getting more and more drunk, and even started to play a rogue.

"How dangerous is Jinzhou City?"

The generals of the Southern Guangdong Army who were present Qiqi stopped drinking, and hundreds of eyes were fixed on Wu Sangui.

"Wu Zongzhen, didn't you just say that during the days when the siege was relieved, supplies were continuously delivered to the city, because of the affection between you and Lord Zu's uncle and nephew. I think there will be no danger of food shortage in Jinzhou City in a while."

A person sitting next to Li Peiting suddenly spoke to Wu Sangui to comfort him.As for Li Peiting himself, it seemed that because of the drunkenness, he lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

"This general. Although there are many soldiers and horses in Jinzhou City right now, there is not little food, grass, gunpowder, oil, salt, meat, beans, etc. Even normal consumption is enough to support the army for more than three months. However, this general, you are Southerners, I have overlooked one thing." Wu Sangui smiled wryly, and began to explain to everyone present.

It is already October weather, and Liaodong has entered winter.In the usual years, the officers and soldiers of the garrison will prepare charcoal and fodder for the winter as soon as autumn comes.Organize a brigade to go into the mountains to cut trees.As charcoal for overwintering.If it is to use the so-called willow hairs in the loops of several large rivers near Jinzhou as firewood, then it is necessary to start planning and preparations in summer.But no matter what kind of material is used as fuel for heating and cooking, the firewood, fodder and charcoal should be ready before the first snowfall, otherwise, the heavy snowstorm in winter will teach you how to behave.

"At the beginning of the siege that day, I only thought about transporting food, grass, weapons, gunpowder, etc. into the city, but never thought of transporting coal and the like into the city. My uncle was also negligent for a while, and never sent troops out of the city to buy firewood. Although there is plenty of food and grass in the city, But there is a lack of charcoal for heating and cooking..."

"General Wu. I do have some ideas. Let's discuss it."

Li Huamei expressed her plan.

This time the Southern Guangdong Army came here because they also knew that Liaodong was cold, so they brought a lot of cotton clothes.As for the stoves of various colors for heating, they are even assigned to each armor.Together with these stoves, there was also a lot of coal transported to Ningyuan, mostly from various coal mines in the Gyeonggi area. The Southern Guangdong Army was not so rich that even coal had to be transported from Taiwan.

"My palace ordered people to take out half of the stoves and charcoal, and your department also took out some coal and firewood from its own reserves. Your army and our army will go northward together, and go to Jinzhou. I don't want to break Jierhalang's plan. The siege is tight, as long as a hole can be torn open, the charcoal will be transported into the city. What does General Wu think?"

"This method is a perfect solution! General Changbo, you might as well send someone to go to Songshan. Let the general Wu Biao there get ready to receive the reinforcements. The Fubiao soldiers from Futai are also willing to go with the army of the princess. trip!"

Accompanied by the elite of Li Huamei's brigade.They can also take the opportunity to look for opportunities in Qiu Minyang's Fubiao camp, spreading the word that such an act is no different from rushing into battle to save his father back then.Who in the world does not say that Wu Sangui is a man of filial piety, righteousness, loyalty and courage?He nodded very satisfied.

"Just as the princess and Lord Futai said. In the end, I will order people to plan it."

Wu Sangui nodded in agreement.

"However, as far as the general knows, the general has joined forces with General Songshan Wu several times, but he found something strange. Among the slave-building bandits who dealt with the general, it is rare to see the slave chief Dor The Two White Banners of the Dagon Brothers. According to the night investigation, there has never been a large group of Two White Banners in the direction of Jinzhou and near Guangning. Princess, this department has always been called sturdy, and we have to be careful, in case suddenly from a certain Uncle Ning Yuan's prestige is extremely detrimental to the morale of the Southern Guangdong Army."

Soon, the envoy who went to Songshan to get in touch with Wu Biao rushed back.

In the letter, Wu Biao was also quite excited about the arrival of the Southern Guangdong Army, and he was quite embarrassed to say hello to his former colleagues.However, an extremely important military situation was also revealed in the letter.

"The establishment of slaves this time is different from the past. The enemies besieging Jinzhou are all well-equipped and fearless slaves, and there are many artillery guns, and the sharpness of the artillery fire is not inferior to mine. In order to isolate the communication between Master Zu's troops and our troops, The slave thief drove a large number of Baoyi Aha and others to dig ditches on the Songshan-Jinzhou Avenue and the wasteland, built a large number of trenches, and densely deployed firecrackers and artillery. At the end, the general tried to attack several times, but was repelled. The slave thief This is a tactic that the last general has never seen before. According to the investigation of the horse, the slave thief Dorgon brothers are lurking and waiting on the front line of Tashanbao. It seems that they intend to prevent our reinforcements from going north. When the enemy's situation is unclear, don't act rashly, be careful, and don't act rashly!"

I heard that Wu Biao's letter was read to the end.The people present were completely silent.

There are dense trench fortifications in Jierhalang, and Dorgon's whereabouts are unknown.Like a hungry wolf hiding in the dark, it may jump out at any time and bite your throat.

"Ah! What a pity, Brother Wu Biao! We are under heavy siege, yet you still remind us not to act rashly." Wu Sangui didn't know whether he said it from the bottom of his heart, or if he meant it to be heard by the generals of the Southern Guangdong Army present. The color of the land and water general of the Southern Guangdong Army changed.Wu Biao's betrayal is a taboo topic among the Southern Guangdong Army, and everyone is reluctant to mention it on weekdays, as if this person never existed.

but.When it comes to fighting in Liaodong, this matter must be faced.And Wu Sangui made no secret of his affection for Wu Biao several times.

"However, General Wu's elite troops dare to fight. Even if they confronted Jierhalang and Dorgon, they would be able to retreat unscathed. In Songshan City, there are three hundred brothers who have shared life and death with the last general for many years. Originally, the last general sent him to practice the cavalry's tactics of advancing like a wall, if that day comes, these three hundred fine cavalry will also protect him from the encirclement!"

Returning to Ningyuan along with the letter that the envoy finished reading, there are also spoils of war after Wu Biao had several small contacts with Jierhalang.

"Damn! This bastard. He is full of loyalty, why hasn't he mentioned such things at all?"

After everyone saw the trophy, they all cursed Wu Sangui secretly.

Those were a few firecrackers that were the same as those equipped by the Southern Guangdong Army.Flint from the dragon's head.As for the socket bayonet on the muzzle, if not everyone is so familiar with their own equipment, they would almost think that Jiannu bought it from Long Shengxing!

"The gun barrel is made of high-quality wrought iron, which is much heavier than our fire guns."

"The bayonet bayonet is also made of refined iron. Compared with our bayonets, it is bulkier and bulkier, but it is suitable for Liaodong Tatars to use."

Different materials, different shapes.Li Peiting's suspicion suddenly disintegrated.

The enemy's situation has changed, so naturally the original plan needs to be readjusted.At the very least, the Ningyuan Army should send more cavalry as scouts around the marching brigade.Thus.The mobilization and preparation of troops takes a lot of time.

On the night of early winter, it gets dark early, and people who have been busy all day can finally go to the bunk to rest amidst the sound of horns one after another.

"Second Young Master, why are you doing this? We have been old friends for so many years, and we have made such extravagance that it seems out of place!"

In Li Peiting's residence, Mo Yu, the brigade commander of the guard brigade, happily looked at the whole table covered with various seafood, vegetables, and beef and mutton, which is relatively rare in Ningyuan, with his mouth wide open and his hands on the thick padded jacket Rubbing.

Li Peiting came here this time, in addition to escorting military supplies and winter supplies for the troops, such as padded jackets, stoves, and snake ointment for preventing frostbite and frostbite, he also had his own purpose.

He didn't say much at the moment, he just ordered someone to pour a jug of shochu into the copper pot, put it in boiling water and scald it.

"Okay, the wine is hot, the soup is boiling, we can start!"

With the help of the tumbling red soup, Mo Yu ate a few red shrimps, crabs and shellfish boiled in the chopsticks, drank a few glasses of wine, and his face began to turn slightly red.

"Sure enough, the second son is still thinking about us! This trip is to deliver antifreeze ointment, and to deliver wine, meat and food. Knowing that this is a small hobby of the general, he likes to eat crabs, fish and shrimps. After looking for so many fresh and fat ones, the Second Young Master has to worry about it!"

"Hey! Brigadier Mo, where do you come from? Since our family first arrived in Hejing, we have been together, how many years have passed. Not to mention a few crabs, just get some flat peaches from the Queen Mother , and it should be!"

"The queen mother's flat peaches? I don't know if it's easy to find them, but it's not easy to find these seafood on this freezing seaside."

"As long as you think about it, it's not difficult. In this day and age, people who have money can buy guts, not to mention a few crabs and prawns? Throw a few stones of rice out, and someone will naturally deliver it to your door."

Li Peiting added a boiled red prawn to Mo Yu's bowl, and raised his glass again, "I would like to congratulate you, Brother Mo, for leading thousands of tigers to Liaodong. Can be sealed as a marquis or something."

Mo Yu's expression changed upon hearing this.Seriously said: "Second son, don't make such a joke. Without the promotion of the lord, Mo Yu is just a savage struggling for his life in the mountains. We brothers only have the lord in our hearts. What is the title of a marquis? Even Chongzhen in Beijing will take off his robes and give way to my emperor at this moment. I won’t do it either.”

Li Peiting took a sip of his wine, sighed and said, "That's a pity, I don't even want to be a Marquis, but since that's the case, why are you coming to Liaodong? You just want to be loyal to the lord, and you don't want to be a Marquis. It would be nice if you went back to Nanzhong. "...

Hearing this, Mo Yu was taken aback and said, "Second Young Master. You scholars just like to talk in a corner, and Mo Yu is a rough person. He doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart, so he speaks directly." Li Peiting secretly rejoiced: "Get the bait! So, Li Peiting took a sip of his wine and said slowly, "Let me tell you, for my lord and our Nanyue army, victory is worse than defeat in this battle in Liaodong, and a small victory is worse than a big victory. Winning quickly is worse than winning slowly."

Mo Yu became even more confused. He said, "Second Young Master, Mo Yu couldn't understand what you said. What a mess. Explain clearly."

Li Peiting then analyzed with Mo Yu unhurriedly: "You also know what happened before. The lord was very loyal and offered two strategies to increase income and reduce expenditure to Chongzhen, and he was willing to donate He Jing's taxes to Chongzhen. I, Li Peiting, don't agree. Dare to say anything else, in the books I have read, a loyal minister like the lord is not unprecedented, at least unprecedented. We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our hands, and the gold and silver in the treasury are inexhaustible. The lord did not say that he would march into the Central Plains to rule the world , It is already very rare. You can even voluntarily donate taxes to Chongzhen, you say. There are a few loyal ministers in the dramas you have seen."

"However, what is the ending? Except for the opening of the customs, the old man of Chongzhen just ignored the kindness of the lord. Moreover, the affairs of the customs are full of ugly things. A bunch of bastards who can't wait to eat the lord's meat and drink the lord's blood. The two customs offices are arguing. You say such a court, what is the lord doing defending him, if it were me, it would have been overthrown long ago."

"However, since the lord does not want to be overthrown, but also wants to rejuvenate Daming, we must obey as subordinates, but the real obedience to the lord is to realize the ideal of the lord. If we easily defeat the Donglu, then the old Chongzhen will definitely send us back. In Nanzhong, the lord's love for the people will never be realized. But if, I say yes, the battle in Liaodong has been fought for a long time, what do you think will happen to the old Chongzhen? For the lord's greater support, he must agree to everything. At that time, the Lord's second policy of increasing income and reducing expenditure will be implemented smoothly."

"What does Second Young Master mean?"

Mo Yu moved her head closer and asked Li Peiting in a low voice.

"Brother, I will give you a six-character mantra. It was used on the Liaodong battlefield. Before the lord arrives, you should remember a sentence, walk slowly, and wait and see."

"Go slowly, wait and see." Mo Yu slowly chewed the taste of Li Peiting's six-character mantra in her mouth, and gradually tasted some flavors.His dark face gradually glowed red.

"Sure enough, scholars are more powerful. Second son, I heard people say that every time righteousness slaughters more dogs, most of them are scholars. I didn't understand it at the time, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with this statement!"

"Doo! Nonsense! Are you praising someone or scolding your second son?!"

Li Peiting smiled and teased Mo Yu's use of idioms indiscriminately, raised his glass, "Do it!"

Outside Guangning city, inside Huang Taiji's big tent.

He was holding a Chinese version of "Hong Wu Bao Xun" carefully on the desk next to him, and there was also a large stack of Central Plains classics such as "Historical Records" and "Han Shu".

"Master, Mr. Fan is asking to see you outside." Gebush's virtuous soldier on duty whispered in front of him.

"Mr. Fan, please come in." Huang Taiji didn't lift his head, his eyes were still fixed on a certain position on the Hong Wu Bao Xun, as if he wanted to find the key to solve the problem in front of him.

"Your Majesty, my servant Fan Wencheng kowtowed to the Emperor!"

"Hey! Mr. Fan, this place is not above the court at this time, why should you, my monarch and my ministers, stick to etiquette?"

Huang Taiji struggled to move his fat body, got up and greeted Fan Wencheng, and ordered someone to bring him a big horse and sit down beside him.

"Mr. Kui Ye came here, is there any urgent military situation?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Zheng of Jinzhou sent someone to send a secret report that reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived!"

"The elites of the Ming Kingdom have been divided and surrounded by me, like a fish swimming in a pot. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the son of Chongzhen, has to face the Rao Yubeiler I sent out to fight across the capital, Zhili, Shandong, etc. In the meantime, Li Chuang and other rogues made rebellions in Henan, Huguang and other places. Where would he go to gather reinforcements? Could it be that he transferred troops from the south of the Yangtze River? If the elites from the Nine Frontiers are not afraid, what are the soldiers and horses from Nanzhili? What the hell? Could it be that there were Zhejiang soldiers and white pole soldiers in the Southern Dynasty?" Huang Taiji threw the Hongwu Baoxun in his hand aside, and stretched.

"Master! Don't be careless! Prince Zheng said that it is the Nanyue Army under the command of Uncle Ningyuan Li Shouhan! The land and water troops are all here! Judging from the banner of the reinforcements, it is Li, the owner of Daming Hejing County, who is the leader of the striker." Li Huamei's eldest daughter!"

Fan Wencheng's words almost made Huang Taiji's fat waist flash.
