Chapter 515 The Temple of the Prairie Jackal The Battle of Guangning (2)

Although Yang Lian, a veteran of the Ming Dynasty official, came to Ponucheng for a long time, but he saw it with his own eyes that Ponucheng Zhang Ping'an was not keeping his word. Originally, Zhang Ping'an promised to establish Ponucheng Legal Affairs Office and Ponucheng Supervision Office, but after Zou Yuanbiao died of illness, Zhang Ping'an issued a command order, only mentioning the establishment of the legal affairs office and Yang Lian was the leader in preparing, but the inspection office was not heard. When Yang Lian asked Wang Qinghe, the supervisory yamen left behind in Ponucheng Supervisor Office, Wang Qinghe clearly told him that Ponucheng did not plan to establish the inspection office.

The officials of the inspection yamen who had not yet been established wanted to spread errands of civil yamen, causing extremely bad influence to the rear baggage supply of the Ponu Army fighting on the front line. For this reason, Ponu Bo issued a special order, and the two officials of the yamen merged. In addition, an education agency was established in Jinlang Camp to educate the children of Jinlang Camp to study and divert Donglin officials. The officials of Donglin came to Ponu City were extremely pleased. They believed that Ponu Bo educated the people not only on their own words, but actually implemented them into the action.

Only at this time did Yang Lian realize Po Nubo's cunning. As a veteran in the officialdom, Yang Lian certainly saw through Po Nubo's intention to attack the east and west to sack the Supervision Office. But Po Nubo's plan was far-reaching. Before revealing the sacking the Supervision Office, he just described Zou Yuanbiao's death as escorting military capital to death on the front line for Po Nu's army, so as to force the Ming Dynasty to rehabilitate Zou Yuanbiao. According to the latest court report, Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to commend his merits and posthumously named Prince Zou Yuanbiao's Shaobao Guanglu Dafu, which was basically considered to be a rehabilitation of Zou Yuanbiao.

Po Nubo also commended the criminals from the Donglin City of Po Nubo in an earlier memorial. Although the rehabilitation of other officials from Po Nubo in Po Nubo was not mentioned in the mansion newspaper, these demoted officials saw hope. All this was thanks to Po Nubo's generous plan. When they learned that Po Nubo was going to lay off the inspection office, they were not embarrassed to object. Originally, Yang Lian came to persuade Zhang Ping'an not to send troops to Guangning this time, because he considered the financial resources that Po Nubo had been overwhelmed.

But Po Nubo was too wise to be too wise this time, which made Yang Lian very suspicious. So Yang Lian asked: "If Po Nubo conquers Guangning this time, will he advance to the hinterland of Liaodong?"

As soon as Yang Lian asked this question, Zhang Ping'an had a premonition that something was wrong. Yang Lian seemed to have guessed his next plan. Zhang Ping'an quickly thought about countermeasures, and soon he found a way to deal with Yang Lian's military. Zhang Ping'an said sincerely: "Mr. Wenru, the Ming Dynasty's official army has been cowardly for a long time. If the Pou Nu Army captures Guangning, can the Master help Ping'an give a memorial? Please send the Ming Dynasty's official army to accept Guangning's defense. My Pou Nu City Xuanwei envoy is a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty. It is natural to occupy the Mongol land. If the Ming Dynasty's homeland, wouldn't it be lost all your face!"

Yang Lian was convinced by Zhang Ping'an's promise, and he immediately agreed to the sincere request of Po Nu Bo. When Yang Lian left the General's Mansion with a full face, Chen Liangcai, the Prime Minister of the Civil Affairs Office, asked: "Boss, where are you singing? The inventory of Po Nu City has bottomed out, and you are not allowed to use the * from Ping'an City. The silver and money are not enough to support this protracted battle. Why do you still insist on fighting Guangning so much?"

Zhang Ping'an is always so casual about his family. Although he has not yet achieved the moral character of washing his feet in front of Chen Liang, it does not prevent Zhang Ping'an from crossing his legs in front of them. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip and said, "I have read all the newspapers issued by Gu Xin? Sometimes wars do not necessarily have to solve military problems, and political problems are sometimes more important than military. Our Po Slave Army's main combat goal in the future is Lin Danhan and the Battle of Hasensumu Grassland, which may be able to establish that the direction of Po Slave City will not be attacked by the Jurchen army in the next few years."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ping'an looked at the two people standing and listening to him, pointed to the two rows of chairs at the head, and then said, "Sit down! Don't be polite to your own people. Through this battle, I have understood a truth that it is not realistic to destroy the Jurchens in one breath. If my Slave Army concentrates all the main forces in Liaodong, Lin Danhan will likely take advantage of the empty defense of Ping'an City to attack our northern defense line. At this time, the Slave Army has no time to return to Ping'an City in time, and the millions of people there are in danger. Among them, the Slave Army is my biggest concern.

If I lose Ping'an City, how can I gain a foothold in the grassland if my army loses its foundation? Therefore, I transferred Wu Tianxing, Zhu Youqian, Qi Heng and other troops back to Ping'an City in advance. Speaking of this, I will give you a clear idea. This time I attacked Guangning for a political consideration. After Guangning was captured, it was handed over to the Ming government army. There was no barrier to Xiping Fort. It would be strange if they could defend Guangning. If Guangning was lost in the hands of the Liaodong government army, the Ming court would be held accountable. Yuan Chonghuan, who was old for my army against him, would definitely be dismissed and investigated, and no general in the Liaodong border army would run away.

On the other hand, my voluntary withdrawal from the Liaodong war can morally gain wide support from the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty court does not support my voluntary army, it will be scolded to death by scholars in the court and the military supplies of the ruling army will have no worries. Secondly, dragging the Ming Dynasty into the front line of the battle with the Jurchens. Even if the official army fails, it will further highlight that the victory of my voluntary army is hard-won. The situation I have deployed this time is not small, and Xu Yian will go to the capital to preside over the cooperation with our army's action to recover Guangning. At that time, you will fan the Donglin officials and let them write more letters to contact their colleagues in the capital, and force the court to send troops to take over Guangning as soon as possible."

Chen Liang and Long Tao were impressed by Boss Zhang's layout. Their thoughts were similar to Zhang Ping'an and they no longer had any good feelings for the Ming court. But Long Tao was still a little worried. He asked: "Boss, now that Boss Sun Chengzong is in charge of the Ministry of War, if Guangning loses, he will definitely be punished together. Do you want to get him off together?"

"This old fox is a potential threat to me, Po Nu Army. Even if he is punished, it is nothing more than retiring and returning home. Anyway, he has retired once, and he doesn't care about going back to his hometown to cultivate again. However, you all underestimated one person, that is the Emperor of the Heavenly Qi of the Ming Dynasty. I think that even if the Ming Dynasty truly understands, even if a person is the emperor, I guess Sun Chengzong will not leave the capital even if he retires. The emperor still expects the old fox to deal with me! I have said everything I should say. Don't disturb me recently, I have to think about the subsequent development of Po Nu Army. This... this...ah, you... I haven't finished speaking yet, why have you all gone?"

When Zhang Ping'an talked about considering the subsequent development of the Slave Army, Chen Liang and Long Tao looked at each other and ran away. They also knew that once Boss Zhang finished his official duties, he would immediately take advantage of the civil yamen for his shameless self-interest. If he didn't leave the civil yamen, he would definitely have to bleed heavily. Seeing Chen Liang and the others fled in panic, Zhang Ping'an felt humiliated. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and instantly changed his mood and asked Hao Yidao to call his student Ye Yuxuan. This student named Ye Yuxuan was the head of his secret laboratory.

As Ye Yuxuan, who is the same age as Luo Tian, ​​although his existence is not familiar to the people of Ponu City, his name is well known to everyone in Ponu Army. Many of the standard weapons of the Ponu Army were designed by Zhang Dashuai, and Ye Yuxuan completed the final shape. This time, when Zhang Dashuai returned to Ponu City, he summoned Ye Yuxuan. At first, Ye Yuxuan thought that Zhang Dashuai was going to check the latest muskets, but Zhang Ping'an asked him to bring two play equipment. This was a wooden bird with wings designed by Zhang Dashuai and had no substantial purpose, but his husband insisted that he bring this thing.

But Zhang Ping'an suddenly became excited when he saw the bird in his hand. At this time, Gu Xin, the chief of staff of the Po Slave Army who was commanding the retreat, also came to the commander's mansion to hand over the order. When he saw the bird in Ye Yuxuan's hand, he joked: "Xiao Yuxuan has started playing with birds?"

"You little white face, get away! When did the things I made have not been useful? They either brought white money to the Po Nu Army or the powerful weapon in the hands of the Po Nu Army soldiers! Yuxuan, how effective is the large-size model I asked to do?" Zhang Ping'an proudly told his achievements, and asked Ye Yuxuan.

"After the teacher, we have made more than ten models as required by the teacher. After testing, the swept-winged 50 kilogram bird you said can reach six miles with a crossbow, and this triangular winged bird can fly for seven miles. But the triangular winged bird has a disadvantage, which is that it is a little bit bad. When ejected, it either falls halfway or flies very crooked. Relatively speaking, the swept-winged bird must be much more stable, at most it can fly dozens of feet apart."

Ye Yuxuan's answer made Zhang Ping'an make up his mind. He gave up the triangular wing bird model and held the swept wing model in his hand and said to Ye Yuxuan: "Then focus on testing the swept wing! Remember, don't shoot the crossbow shells, load the * in the back half of the flying bird, and let's use * to push the flying bird."

After saying that, Zhang Ping'an took out a stack of drawings he had drawn from his arms and handed them to Ye Yuxuan. At the same time, he also took out a gold medal and said, "What I draw may not be accurate, you can try it more, and ask Wang Qinghe for how much it will cost. I have already greeted Wang Qinghe. The Supervisory Office of the General Office must cooperate with you to get this weapon out. Go back and tell the children that as long as this bird can make hundreds of kilograms, the propulsion will fly out of six miles, I will upgrade you to one level! The main participants in the finalization will each have a third-class gold medal, and a second-class gold medal will be given!"

Zhang Dashuai's promise made Ye Yuxuan's little face flushed. The clever Ye Yuxuan looked at the sketch Zhang Dashuai and instantly understood what Zhang Dashuai was going to do with this bird. From his gentleman's sketch, Ye Yuxuan saw the shadow of the new weapon of the Po Slave Army. This was a bird for play, and it was obviously a cannonball that could fly. If there were such a cannonball that could fly for six miles, the po Slave Army had used the crossbows for several years, it would be eliminated from the battlefield. (To be continued)
