Daming wolf ride

More than half of Songshan's generals who followed Dayong had died in battle. For example, the cavalry general Zong Sun Youjin, Wu Tieshan, Li Changhe, Yongziying general Zong Guoer, Wuziying general Wang Zhengqi and others all died in battle.

General Shi Hai of Yongziying even died of illness in Jinzhou Prison. For this reason, Dayong and Liaodong governor Sun Wei almost met each other. Withdraw troops from Juehua Island.

Huang An, Shao Wu, Ma Zhong and others brought from Jinzhou more than a thousand veterans who had participated in the Battle of Daling River and the Battle of Jinzhou, and these veterans then served as officers one after another.

After collecting food and grass, Dayong swore to enter the Central Plains on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Chongzhen to suppress bandits.

It is neither the general army of Liaodong, nor the general army of Dengzhou, nor the general army of Dongjiang, but the general army of Lushun.This appointment caused a lot of commotion in the army. Lushun is a small place, and since the founding of the Kingdom, it has been the Jinzhou Zhongzuo at most. When will Lushun be able to set up a general army.

In this regard, Hou Xun explained that Dayong annexed Dongjiang without authorization, and Shen Shikui complained everywhere in Beijing. Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the army, also interceded for Dayong, and then passed the appointment, otherwise, I am afraid that the Lushun general will not pass.You know, the emperor now hates Shi Dayong more than he loves it. No matter how loyal Dayong is, his lack of authority is always a thorn in the emperor's heart.If the stab is not removed for a day, can the emperor and the court really rest assured that he will entrust him with a heavy responsibility?

The general of Lushun is the general of Lushun, and he is also a general of Lushun. Compared with the long-standing general of Jinzhou, who has not lived up to his name, he is justified.

Dayong became the commander-in-chief, and the deputy general, general, guerrilla, commander, and garrison were naturally appointed, but within the Liaodong Army, they were still called by the military titles of the newly formed army.

The cavalry guards of Cao Bianjiao, the second guard of the army of Huang An, and the third guard of the army of Li Dashan were led by Dayong to fight the thieves in the south.The Fourth Guard of Shao Wu's Army was responsible for the transportation of grain and grass. In addition, the resettlement envoy sent many refugees to take in the envoy to accompany the army, responsible for receiving refugees along the way, and escorting the captured bandits to Dengzhou.The resettlement envoy has already marked out a lot of wasteland, waiting for people to plant it.

In order to ensure that Shi Dayong could join the encirclement to suppress the bandits in the Central Plains on time, Chongzhen ordered Hou Xun Governor Denglai and Shandong Military Affairs to accompany the army as a supervisor.

This is actually surveillance in disguise, and the court still doesn’t believe me. Dayong really doesn’t really hate Master Hou, who is said to have a habit of Longyang, on the contrary, he has a good impression of him, because he is an official who takes money and does things.

Hou Xun is also a good-natured person. Since he joined the army, he has never heard of any military affairs. He only travels how many miles the army has traveled every day, and where he goes, he writes up memorials and reports to the imperial court. Come forward to ask the local government to supply some food and grass, and attend the banquet of local officials by the way. After the big banquet and small banquet, the harvest is also rich.

There were [-] cavalry infantry guards from Liaodong, and all the supervisors and imperial envoys who came with Hou Xun didn't have any fear of going south to fight against the bandits, let alone worry about it. Instead, they all geared up and suggested some clever military strategies to Shi Dayong from time to time. Dayong was very annoying, and he didn't want to offend them. The so-called King of Hades is easy to see, and little ghosts are hard to torture. After all, these people are Hou Xun's disciples, and many of them spent money to make military achievements. If they offend them, Hou Xun will lose face. make life difficult for.If you offend the only important official in the court who is willing to speak up for you because of these trivial matters, the gain will outweigh the loss.So Dayong still has a good attitude towards these little devils, but he responds negatively. He agrees with their strategies, and then pushes it to Jiang Wanli, the town government, and makes Jiang Wanli very anxious. Can handle it now.

After traveling for more than 20 days, the Liaodong Army finally arrived at Weihui Mansion in Henan Province, and the army was stationed in Guangde Town outside the city.

The Ming army in Weihui Fucheng did not like the Liaodong army who came from afar. On the contrary, they regarded them as rogues. furious.

In fact, Dayong didn't want to enter the city either. Henan is a place of severe disasters. It was hit by natural disasters and military disasters. Weihui's mansion was extremely depressed. It made no difference whether he entered the city or not. Annoy him.For this reason, he complained to Hou Xun that Henan officials looked down on people, but Hou Xun sighed and told Dayong that since Chongzhen four years later, the local government garrisons basically have this attitude towards guest troops coming from afar, because they are really They couldn't afford the food and grass of the guest army, let alone the looting behavior of the guest army after entering the city.It would be fine if there were fewer guest troops, but the Liaodong Army dispatched [-] horse infantry troops this time. May I ask which prefecture city in Henan can afford so many soldiers and horses to eat, drink, and scatter, and who dares to guarantee these? The guest army will not loot the city like the thieves.

After hearing this, Dayong was silent, this fire can't be unleashed, and after returning, he strictly ordered the generals to take care of the soldiers under him, and those who dared to leave the camp without permission should be lightly punished with heavy sticks, and those who were serious would be beheaded.

Wei Hui officials did not welcome the Liaodong Army, but they flattered Hou Xun, a senior official who was the secretary of the household department, and sent people to invite Hou Xun into the city. At the same time, he also invited Shi Dayong and other generals into the city. The friendship of the landlord.Dayong declined to enter the city, Hou Xun knew that he did not force his temper, and entered the city with all his entourage in a lively manner.

After resting in Guangde, Dayong decided to set off, but he was not sure which direction to go.The Tang newspaper said that Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong split up and left. Zhang Xianzhong went deep into the Jianghuai area, while Gao Yingxiang went northwest to Guide, met Luo Rucai and Huideng, and returned to Shaanxi.

Hou Xun believed that Gao Yingxiang was a great thief. If he could defeat Gao Yingxiang in one fell swoop, the bandits would be terrified, and the Liaodong Army would become famous all over the world, so he suggested that Dayong lead his troops to march northwest.On the other hand, Dayong decided to go to Jianghuai to suppress Zhang Xianzhong's troops. Firstly, Zhang Xianzhong was famous, and the name of the Eight Great Kings was famous in later generations.

Dayong had suffered enough from food shortages, and in Liaodong he could still cruelly slaughter some Eight Banners women and children for food, but in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, how could he be so ruthless?

Dayong insisted on suppressing Zhang Xianzhong first, Hou Xun thought about it and agreed, because he was not sure whether it would be better to go to the northwest or to Jianghuai.Since Hong Chengchou led the five-province joint suppression campaign, now that Gao Yingxiang is fleeing to Shaanxi, you, Hong Chengchou, are naturally in charge. I am just a temporary warlord, and there is no need to take risks.

At the moment it was agreed to go south to Jianghuai, but bad news came one after another before the army moved.

Knowing that his uncle died in battle, Cao Bianjiao was in pain, and vowed to avenge his uncle by washing the bandits with blood.Dayong was also very sad, and led the whole army to sacrifice to Cao Wenzhao, so he changed his decision to advance to Jianghuai, and ordered Xiao Cao to lead 6000 cavalry to Zhangde day and night, and he led the main force to follow up, intending to encircle The thieves returned to Huihui, Jiutiaolongguo Dacheng, Guotianxing, and Luo Rucai allied forces.
