Chapter 367
"Fuck grandma! What does Yuan Chonghuan do for a living? I told him to attack Dalinghe a long time ago. Now, the damn Tatars have gone to Shaanxi." Ao Canghai stood in the handsome tent and jumped on his feet and scolded his mother.
Ao Canghai had a premonition that something was not good from the first news that the troops broke out and brought the Tatars.
The Tatars have sent out troops. How many are there? Will they attack Xuanfu?
Ao Canghai felt dizzy at the thought of hundreds of thousands of rioters making trouble with the Tatars. There were hundreds of thousands of people, and one person could be shot out with just one bullet. What to do with the rest? With the Tatars
A pair of chops?
The problem is that you want to fight the Tatars with bayonets now, but the Tatars are not willing yet. The Liao army understands better than anyone else the progress the Tatars have made in the application of firearms in the past two years. With the help of the Dutch, the Tatars are even more powerful.
A step up. According to Yuan Chonghuan, the Second Division is now increasingly unable to deal with the Tatars. In the past, there was almost no suspense in the battle at the company and battalion level, but now it has reached a 50-50 split.
There is no way, in fact, this is all forced by the Liao army after firearms were turned into weapons. You hold a musket, and others wait for you to kill them with swords and spears. The Tatars of the ethnic minority are more practical, but they are not stupid.
"Commander, I'm afraid this battle will not be easy. The Tatars will definitely not come to Shaanxi as just two kittens, and the rebels can't tell clearly. But at least they can be sure that they came with cannons. Although the Xuanfu city wall is strong, it is
If they really surround us, we won't be able to leave even if we want to." The person who spoke was the leader of the regiment, Nie Dahu.
"You mean to give up Xuanfu?" Ao Canghai frowned. Xuanfu is an important town in the north, and the court will definitely pursue him if he abandons Xuanfu.
"If it's close to Shandong or Liaodong, we can definitely defend it. But now that our Xuanfu is far away from Shandong and Liaodong, the biggest problem is supplies. Once the war breaks out, there will be no ammunition supply...!" Nie Dahai did not continue. The officers in the commander's tent
We all know the consequences of that.
Ao Canghai rubbed his head. The situation was indeed very bad. Moreover, he had to make a decision quickly. Time was most precious now.
"Even if we want to leave now, the Juyong Pass guard will not let us go without the transfer order from the Ministry of War." The transfer of troops requires the compatibility of the Ministry of War. How can Ao Canghai be suitable now?
"We can't enter Juyong Pass, so we can't lead troops to fight in...!"
"Bring the map!" Ao Canghai suddenly spoke, and several staff officers immediately brought the map. Mr. Ao looked at the map carefully and made gestures with his hands from time to time.
"The whole army is ready! We are not going back to Shandong, we are going to Liaodong." I looked at the map for a long time and estimated the distance. If I walked through the Great Wall, it would be about a thousand miles away.
"Going to Liaodong?" Nie Dahai blinked and didn't understand why the teacher wanted to take the big guys back to Liaodong. But from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to go back to Liaodong, which was his hometown.
"Yes! Go to Liaodong! This time the Tatars made a long-distance attack and reached Shaanxi. They must have brought a lot of troops! All the damn Eight Banners soldiers went to Shaanxi, leaving Liaodong empty. Let's go to Liaodong and join forces with Yuan Chonghuan
, took over Huang Taiji’s old nest. It’s time to take back Liaoyang and Shenyang!” Ao Canghai was also from Liaodong and had great objections to the Tatars occupying Liaoyang.
"Yes! Go back to your hometown!" Nie Dahai, who was also from Liaodong, was excited.
"Go back home!"
"Take this damn Huang Taiji home!"
Due to historical reasons, many of the officers of the First Division were from Liaodong. Now that they heard that they were going to fight back to their hometown and snatch their hometown back from the Tatars, they were all very excited.
The first division prepared quickly!
While Ao Canghai was still packing, the messenger who almost died after running brought a shocking news. Hong Chengchou had surrendered to the enemy!
There was a "buzzing" sound in his head, and Ao Canghai felt that his vision went dark. The two most important defense areas in the west of the capital were Xuanfu and Datong. Hong Chengchou who was in Datong actually surrendered to the enemy, then...! Then damn Hou Jin
The army will either attack Zijingguan or go north to attack them.
"The entire army will prepare dry food for four days, take ammunition and equipment and set off." It was too late to pack up, Ao Canghai ordered the next division to set off quickly. Anyway, I won't enter Juyong Pass, I, the emperor, will handle the matter of dealing with the Tatars.
A long time ago, Ao Canghai stopped paying much attention to the emperor. He only had eyes for the Liao army led by Li Xiao. As for whether the emperor's capital city would be captured by the Tatars, I didn't bother to worry about it.
How to take back Liaodong from the Tatars more realistically?
Hong Chengchou's surrender to the enemy turned Shanxi into chaos. At the critical moment, the Liao army guarding Xuanfu was nowhere to be found. The general of the Xuanfu army only reported that they were attacking the grasslands to cut off the Tatar soldiers' retreat. Because there was no
Due to their affiliation, the Xuanfu General Soldier could not do anything to the Liao Army.
However, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu was still relatively down-to-earth. When he saw the surging mob and Tatar soldiers, he led his team into Juyong Pass without saying a word.
The western defense line of the capital has been completely lost, and now the front lines are Zijingguan and Juyongguan. As long as one of these two passes is breached, hundreds of thousands of rebels plus Tatar soldiers will attack the capital.
The situation is not very urgent, but extremely urgent.
"When the hell is it that you still have time to engage in party disputes?" Looking at the thick stack of memorials on the desk, Zhu Youjian felt the urge to kill someone.
These memorials all impeached the Liao army for its failure to suppress bandits, and demanded severe punishment for the Liao army generals Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou, as well as the memorial tablet at Shanhaiguan, Ji Liao Governor Mao Wenlong. Each memorial listed many crimes, and there were bloody murders between the lines.
Character.
According to the charges in the memorial, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zu Dashou should all be cut into pieces. If they were not cut into pieces for half a month, they would have failed the emperor and the people.
Zhu Youjian's nose was so angry that he was a sensible person. According to Yuan Chonghuan's current strength, it was good to be able to maintain the Guanning Jin Defense Line. Maybe Hong Chengchou should have been left in Liaodong, so that Yuan Chonghuan, who was not under each other's control, could watch
, he dared to surrender to the enemy rashly.
"Damn Hong Chengchou." Hong Chengchou's defection to the enemy stabbed Zhu Youjian hard in the heart. He originally had high hopes for Hong Chengchou, but unexpectedly he betrayed him at the critical moment.
"Long live! Hong Chengchou also has his own difficulties. Most of his subordinates are from Shaanxi, including his own family members. One or two Hong Chengchou can still suppress them, but with so many people united, he can't suppress them at all."
Yang Sichang had a good relationship with Hong Chengchou, so Lao Tie would not have dared to openly defend Hong Chengchou at this time.
"We all have difficulties that need to be understood. Who will understand my difficulties?" Zhu Youjian swept all the memorials on Long's desk to the ground.
The emperor became angry, and the eunuchs and maids in the Qianqing Palace knelt on the ground. Wang Chengen bent down and quickly picked up the memorials on the ground.
"Yang Sichang! You said, you are the new Minister of War. How should you deal with it now?" Zhu Youjian pointed at Yang Sichang and yelled.
"Uh...! Now we should strengthen the defenses of Juyong Pass and Zijin Pass as soon as possible, and at the same time mobilize troops to the capital to serve the King."
"Transfer troops! Where to mobilize troops? Are you looking for Li Xiao?" When Li Xiao was mentioned, Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth with hatred.
As soon as this guy comes to him, he starts asking for money. To get the money, he needs policies, and to get the policies...he's going to be cunning. This time, that guy Ao Canghai under him just takes the initiative, and God knows Where did the attack go?
"Shandong has been relatively peaceful recently, and Li Xiao defeated Kong Youde and Geng Zhong to successfully suppress the bandits in Shandong during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now that the area around Jinan has begun to undergo major reforms, it is indeed the fastest and most convenient way to build a strong army by deploying troops from Shandong.
