Chapter 55: War Clouds Surging Blood Rain in Liaodong (9)

Long Tao stood up and asked, "Boss, why can't we build our own territory in Guangning as the center! After all, Guangning has a lot of room for activities."

Zhang Ping'an smiled bitterly: "You think I don't want it! Guangning has complete facilities, so you can avoid many detours if you want to develop it. But have you ever thought that if we occupy Guangning, the old Jurchen slaves will just withdraw their troops and release the Thirteen Mountain Post. We will be surrounded by the Ming army in the west, the Jurchen Tartars in the east, and the Mongolian Tartars in the north. We will die without a burial place!"

Zhang Ping'an stood up and pointed to the map: "As long as we build Xinponu City, at least we have to defend in the east and south. The Jurchens are semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral production methods, and their army will have supplies to fight! Of course, their mobility is much stronger than that of the Ming army. If they attack Xinponu City, there must be a long supply line, and their supply line is our fighter jets. Our food and sheep are enough for us to eat for more than a year. We build bases in Xinponu City, train troops, and cultivate farmland to ensure that the food is self-sufficient. In a year, we can sweep the Korqin Mongolian Tartars and destroy the Duoyan Tartars depending on the situation! In about ten years, we will completely destroy the Jurchen Tartars!"

Zhang Pingan paused and said to the old brother: "I haven't told anyone about this idea yet. I have only thought about it recently. So, brothers, please keep it confidential! Don't spread it! We are all people who cannot return to the Ming Dynasty. Only by standing firmly in Liaodong can we negotiate conditions with the court! But ten years later, we can only talk about what the situation will be at that time!"

"Tell me, what else is there to do when evacuating the people."

Chen Poe stood up and suggested to the map: "Little boss, I suggest that Huang Zhi's troops are stationed in Yizhou Post, Huang Wei's troops are stationed in Yizhou, and the people are walking along the line of Yizhou."

Long Tao stood up and came to the map: "Commander Chen is right! We will use this time to make a sledge. Only the families of the new recruits will be in Ponu City, so we are not afraid of their rebellion. However, the families of the deserters who were executed last time were also in Guangning. What should we do with these people?"

Zhang Ping'an said: "Chen Pie's suggestion is correct. After the meeting, he will be transferred to Yizhou. As for the family members of the deserter, we pretend not to know. If they don't want to follow us, they will leave them in Yizhou."

Zhang Li stood up at this time: "The area I patrol here is too big. Boss, you have to transfer someone to help me."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "I am not considerate about this matter. Let's do this. After the meeting, I will send Li Chen's army to support you. The most veterans of his troops are, and one thousand guarding the Qing Fort is enough. Li Chen's army now has 7,000 people, and there are 3,000 veterans. I will ask him to send 2,000 veterans, and 2,000 new soldiers to support you. But next time the battle, all his veterans will be restored. Please choose the available new soldiers and stay!"

Zhang Li said excitedly: "Boss, can you let him send a thousand veterans and three thousand new soldiers, so that I can choose more!"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "No problem, but the same thing is true. The veteran will return to Jian! I will give it to you after the warrant!"

Long Tao suggested at this time: "Boss, I'll give you a suggestion. You'd better engrave a handsome seal of a handsome man. Many of our commanders don't recognize words. Next time they pass the order, they will know who issued the order by reading the seal!"

Zhang Ping'an pointed at the commander below and laughed and scolded: "I have asked them to recognize words for a long time, but the war has been too tight recently. Long Xiucai is right! Not only should there be a commander's seal, but each commander must also have a seal! When the war is no longer urgent, I will personally train them, such old military gangsters! If they are not qualified, I will feed them to me! Also, after the meeting, the soldiers I selected from the Golden Wolf Camp, each of which is 50 people. These people are children who recognize words and can also draw simple drawings. You must take good care of them, especially the children of the fallen soldiers, and you must not be wronged. If anyone dares to bully them, I will bully you!"

Hu Ming said: "No! Don't! We treat them as ancestors! Young and old, you might as well give us a teacher. Let's fight and recognize both words!"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Hu Ming is right! When we settle down, I will give you a battlefield rescue doctor. In this way, our veterans will not die too much due to injuries. It is okay in winter, and there will not be too many wound infections. This problem must be taken seriously in summer. But it is not possible for the time being."

Liu Chong stood up and said, "Master!"

As soon as he said that, he saw Zhang Ping'an frowning, so he quickly changed his words: "Little boss, I don't have many iron armors, look..."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and ordered Long Tao and Xu Yi'an without hesitation: "Download all the iron armor! Especially the war soldiers, so it is more convenient for us to transport supplies! After we left Guangning City, nothing was left except stones and wood! Yi'an also had to inspect the city walls, and there were weak areas to be marked clearly! Chen Po's troops destroyed it when we evacuated!"

……………………………………………………

When he fled to Shanhaiguan, Guangning Mansion, experienced Zhu Zhengshan, sat in a carriage, wrapped in a thick fur coat. When he recalled the scene of escaping from Guangning City, his heart trembled.

When the whole family brought their guards and held Zhang Ping'an's warrant and was about to leave the city, they were stopped by Zhang Ping'an's hardcore Lu Deyin. When he took the 500 taels of gold from Zhang Ping'an from Ru Deyin, he was moved. But Ru Deyin's subsequent words immediately made him fall into the ice cave. Ru Deyin took out Zhang Ping'an's receipt and asked him to sign, and said that if he didn't sign, he would not be allowed to leave.

Zhu Zhengshan took the receipt and looked carefully. It was the receipt, which was clearly the contract of selling the body. The receipt was filled with all the details of their transactions, and even the time for the weapons transaction was written in detail. But he couldn't leave without signing it. In desperation, he could only sign and seal each page of the receipt as required by Zhang Ping'an, and press the handprint. This was not the end. Zhang Ping'an also asked him to bring five people and their two carriages. He said that he was Zhang Ping'an's relatives and wanted to go to the capital to do business.

Zhu Zhengshan immediately understood that this was not a relative, it was simply a detailed work sent by Zhang Ping'an to the capital. But his handle was in Zhang Ping'an's hand, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize it.

The only thing that made him feel good was that Lu Deyin gave him a letter from Zhang Ping'an after reading it. The letter said that Wang Huazhen would be captured by the court and imprisoned, so that he would not stay anywhere, nor would he find any friends before entering the capital, so as not to be implicated by Wang Huazhen. He took the seal of the Liaodong Governor's guard and went to the capital for activities. He also pointed out that the eunuch Wei Zhongxian must be held tightly. If the money is not enough, he can borrow it from his relatives.

Zhu Zhengshan, a bureaucrat who has been struggling in the officialdom for many years, thought he was right about Zhang Ping'an's guidance. At the same time, he understood that the so-called Zhang Ping'an relatives who followed him must have enough money.

He then thought that if Zhang Ping'an was seeking out the news in the capital, he would have to use him. Maybe he could ask for some more money from the so-called relatives.

What Zhu Zhengshan did not expect was that after Zhang Ping'an captured Guangning, he released five gentry families with good people. At the same time, he seized the legitimate sons of these families as hostages. He arranged other spies from the detective offices of the Five Routes and his confidant of the personal military camp. He and Zhu Zhengshan all the way to the capital.

Zhang Ping'an knew the importance of intelligence in his previous life, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to send intelligence personnel out. This time, Zhang Ping'an spent a lot of money and allowed these six spies to bring 5,000 taels of gold and valuable jewelry. The task he gave these spies was to lurk first, then develop, open up connections in the capital, speak good things for the Slave Army, and convey the trends of the imperial court to the Slave Army. It is best to provide scarce supplies for the Slave Army and provide scarce materials in the future.

These intelligence personnel have received short-term training from Zhang Ping'an. In particular, the Arabic numerals taught by Zhang Ping'an. Each intelligence personnel brought different books. They found the words to be written in the books and used the Arabic numerals to standardize them. In this era, outsiders could not crack them at all. Even if they were arrested, as long as others sent back the information of the arrested along the way, the password book would be immediately stopped. The secret would not be leaked.

With money, these intelligence personnel, with the help of Zhu Zhengshan and the gentry family who fled to the capital, took a very short time to trap in the capital.
