550 Armageddon
The military proposal to restore Liaodong was held, and many military generals, including the Jingying, the Three Major Camps, the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army, gathered together, almost filling the entire lobby of the Governor's Headquarters.
Emperor Chongzhen sat in the main seat. There were two officials in the red and red robe on the left and right side, namely the Governor of Ji Liao, Hong Chengchou and the Governor of Baoding, Lu Xiangsheng. In front of the generals, the emperor's personal eunuch Lan Tianbao and Chen Baoting were pushing a screen, hanging a huge map of Liaodong on it.
In the lobby, there was only Emperor Chongzhen's voice. He only heard him say loudly: "This battle was the people of the whole city in the capital and the people along the way. They squeezed out their food and provided the army with food and supplies for the army to fight against the enemy. Faced with the wishes of many people, the generals must do their best to fight and not be slackened or violate the military order. If there is any violation, no matter what their previous achievements are, I will never tolerate them and will not be punished! Do you understand?"
Including Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, all the generals and the military supervisors all bowed to Emperor Chongzhen together, and replied seriously and loudly: "My minister (the last general) understands!"
Many of them actually didn't need Emperor Chongzhen to say this. After hearing the Ming people's response to the grand occasion of the imperial court's borrowing of grain, they were all dumbfounded, and then they realized that this battle must not let the people down.
Of course, among so many people, does anyone think that this is likely to be the last battle against Jianlu, and will he be slackened. He wants to raise the enemy and respect himself like the previous Liaodong King, then he doesn't know.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen still looked serious and stood up and strode to the screen map. He took a thin stick handed over by Chen Baoting, and then said to the civil and military officials present: "Now, the main force of Jianlu's troops is in Liaoyang and Shenyang. Among them, Liaoyang is the leader of Duoduo, with a total of about 23,000 people. There are more than 10,000 people in Jianlu people in the city. There are no old and weak, most of them are young and strong, and even fewer children. Therefore, Jianlu can be regarded as 33,000 people in Liaoyang."
Introducing the situation, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the location of Liaoyang with a thin stick, then continued to point north along the official road, and continued to say: "The Tiger Skin Post 60 miles away from Liaoyang has about one thousand Jianlu. Sixty miles north, it is Shenyang. There are about 32,000 Jianlu military forces, including the Zhengbai Banner of the slave chief Dorgon, the Zhenglan Banner of the Yuetuo, and the Zhenghuang Banner of the Imperial City. These three divisions have the strongest combat power. In addition, there are more than 20,000 people in the city, all of which are young and strong men and women of Jianlu. They can also be regarded as Jianlu military forces, with a total of about 70,000."
It is no longer surprising that the generals have learned so much about Emperor Chongzhen's Jianlu. It is related to the last battle against the enemy, and everyone is listening with all concentration.
"At present, Jianlu is extremely short of food, but the Japanese have formed an alliance with Jianlu and have transported food to Jianlu." Emperor Chongzhen announced the news about Japan in public for the first time, and pointed to the map with a thin stick and introduced, "The grain will be transported here and transported inland along the Tumen River. Jianlu are all looking forward to this batch of food. However, Lu Qing has sent 3,000 Dongjiang cavalry troops under Li Dingguo to burn the food."
Speaking of this, he put away his thin stick, swept the faces of everyone present seriously, and then said loudly: "I assume that Li Dingguo's troops failed to complete the task. Therefore, I require that this battle be completed, or encircled Jianlu in a short time, seize Shenyang, and restore Liaodong."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his main seat, sat down, and added again: "Jianlu was extremely short of food. Now all the troops were lying on their bodies, but the city of Liaoyang was slightly normal. It can be said that the combat power of Jianlu would not be half as good as usual. Therefore, I require that this war should be carried out quickly. For Liaoyang, the army would divide its troops and quickly cross Liaoyang to attack Shengjing. It would also be siege but not attacked. When Jianlu had no food, he would be able to capture the important towns of Liaoyang and Shenyang."
Once the army besieged the city, the defenders in the city must have enough food to defend the city in order to have physical strength. In this way, the food consumption will increase greatly, and the food of Jianlu cannot bear such consumption at all. Therefore, it will not take long for Jianlu to be exhausted.
Compared with forcibly attacking Shenyang in Liaoyang, it has to be said that the strategy mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen is the best countermeasure. After all, Liaoyang and Shenyang are the tallest and most sturdy cities in Liaodong. Although there are red and barbarian cannons, it is not something that can be done in a short while if you want to collapse the city wall. Moreover, the battle of siege is much less loss than the battle of siege.
After explaining the overall tactics, everyone understood that the key to this battle in Liaodong is to "fast" that before the Liaodong Jianlu reacted, they would have to surround the city where the main force of Jianlu was located and prevent them from running away. In this way, the main force of Jianlu was destroyed, and other Jianlu scattered everywhere would be no longer a concern, and Liaodong would be resurrected.
The difficulty of this battle was far lower than the difficulty of the decisive battle against Jianlu as many generals imagined, so they all showed excitement.
To make achievements and win a wife and a son, it is the last battle!
However, before they were excited, Emperor Chongzhen added seriously: "There is another news that Japan has gathered 80,000 troops and is now ready to go. According to the strategy set by Tokugawa Iemitsu, Japan wants to quickly occupy North Korea with the thunder force in order to gain a foothold in North Korea before our Ming Dynasty reacts."
This news was very unexpected for most generals. At this time, when they heard that the Japanese pirates would fight, they not only had no solemnity, let alone anything else, but they were even more excited. In their opinion, it would be great to destroy the Jianlu, there would be a great war to fight, and military achievements to make!
As a warrior, how can there be no war to fight?
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and saw that they were all very excited, so he said loudly: "So, I ask that before the Japanese pirates occupy Korea, they should try their best to eliminate the Jianlu in Liaodong. The time left for the nobles is about one and a half months. Do you remember it?"
"I will remember it!" shouted in unison and responded to Emperor Chongzhen's words loudly. His voice was particularly loud and his strong excitement was like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep.
Emperor Chongzhen had already said almost the same thing. The details of the entire Jianlu, the current international situation, and the news that the Japanese pirates were about to attack, were also clearly stated. I believe that the generals present had already understood the current situation.
So, next, Emperor Chongzhen shouted seriously: "All the generals obey the order!"
Hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and waited for the order. They knew that this was the emperor's official mission.
So, when Emperor Chongzhen began to call on generals, the generals were enthusiastic and were full of expectations for the upcoming war. However, there were many regrets on the cannon camp. Because of the first prize, they were all taken away by the cavalry.
After the military agreement ended, the entire army that revived Liaodong, including the Guanning Army, the Cavalry Camp and the Dongjiang Army who remained in Haizhou last year, had a total of more than 100,000, and all of them started moving.
More than 35,000 cavalrymen were the first to set out. The rumbling sound of horse hooves shocked Haizhou three times, just like spring thunder resounding across the land of Liaodong, and they wanted to chop all the demons and monsters on the land of Liaodong, and to restore a quiet world in Liaodong.
Then, the infantry, including the chariot camp, also set off. They all ran lightly, and all their supplies were transported by chariots. At least within the distance from Haizhou to Anshan Yibao, it was very safe.
The Ming soldiers in groups were lined up in a neat line and ran forward. Everyone's face was full of excitement, as if they were not going to fight, but to grab the merits.
Well, in fact, in their opinion, the emperor personally commanded and there were so many official troops. This war was not a sure win, so what else could it be?
Yes, it's just to grab the credit!
Sixty miles away, the army had arrived at Anshan Post Fort not long after the afternoon.
Emperor Chongzhen had followed the cavalry to Anshan Post Fort before. At this time, he was watching the arrival of the infantry on the top of the city. It has to be said that the speed of the march was still beyond his estimate.
Looking around, the entire Anshan Post Fort, including inside and outside the city, was already crowded with people. More than 35,000 cavalrymen who arrived first had already rested here.
Today is a small warm-up. From tomorrow, after the army set off here, there will be no time to rest, and it will be until the end of the war. In particular, the cavalry will have to rush hundreds of miles to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory and besiege the "pseudo-capital" of Jianlu, and the task is even more arduous.
As for whether the army will leak news when resting here, Lu Xiangsheng had already sent more troops to Ye Wusheng before, and drove Jianlu's provocation back to Liaoyang. At most, traces could be seen in the suburbs of Liaoyang. Other places were all areas where Ming army did not take nights.
Another point is that Duoduo has Class A eavesdropping seeds on his body. Even if Jianlu discovered that there were armies gathering in Anshan Post Fort, Duoduo had to react and the sixty miles of journey, the cavalry could still rush over in time.
Regarding the sudden increase in the Ming army's dispatch of the night, Jianlu was already a little numb because there had been several times before. What's more important is that Jianlu could not send more explorers to fight because of food and grass.
If Jianlu dares to send more horses to the horse, believe it or not, it will eventually turn into a decisive battle between the cavalry! The Ming army is not afraid of this, but Jianlu has no capital.
So, until Emperor Chongzhen woke up early the next morning, he did not see any news from Duoduo.
"Report, the official road leading to Liaoyang has been filled!"
"Report, the whole army has finished eating and is ready to go!"
“…”
Seeing that the army was already waiting for the order, Emperor Chongzhen shouted: "So, let's give Jianlu a big surprise today!"
Jianlu has been arrogant in Liaodong for twenty or thirty years. Now the Ming Dynasty is here to settle the accounts with you!
This day was May 27, the 18th year of Chongzhen. In the original history, last year's day was the day when Wu Sangui led the Qing Dynasty to pass the pass.
Chapter completed!
