Chapter 192 One year Pingliao? Is the emperor anxious?
"Yang Yan Wang is here." Kong Youde suddenly reminded Zhang Pan with a little nervousness, and subconsciously called out the nickname he gave Yang Jie privately.
Zhang Pan doesn’t have the mentality of Kong Youde. Although Yang Jie is vicious, he doesn’t deal with others to his own people, or to others for no reason.
Don’t do bad things, don’t be afraid of ghosts calling. Zhang Pan is conscious of his actions and walking in a straight manner, so why should you be afraid of him?
"Mr. Yang." The two bowed and bowed to see each other first.
"Two generals, polite and courteous." Yang Jie also bowed back and looked at the horses in the circle, nodded, and said, "This batch of horses is good. After autumn, they will be even fat and strong and can gallop on the battlefield."
Zhang Pan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang knows how to use horses? You can tell at a glance that it's good or bad."
"I know a little bit." Yang Jie said modestly and turned to the important matter. "The spy sent by a certain group has already paid off. The Liao people in Shutun rebel against the Jin Guiming, and asked the two generals to send troops to respond."
Zhang Pan's face turned upright, looked at Kong Youde, and reached out to ask, "Mr. Yang, please discuss the military affairs here."
Kong Youde followed and said, "Just just wanted the recruits to go out for exercise, Lord Yang brought a great opportunity."
Yang Jie smiled and was not polite, so he followed the two to the command center to plan a plan.
As Liu Aita came back to the Ming Dynasty in Fuzhou, Nurhaci, who was hit, became increasingly crazy and brutal. The resistance and riots of the Han people in Liaodong also broke out one after another, and many Han officials and Han generals even participated.
The spy sent by the headquarters of southern Liaoning and Dongjiang have become increasingly in-depth and bold.
The Han soldiers captured and surrendered in several previous battles, or voluntarily, returned to the Later Jin occupied areas after a period of special training, inciting and inciting the Liao people to riot and resist the Jin.
For example, Zhao Huaiyi, the former Baoyi slave who killed the Later Jin official under Ningyuan City and surrendered voluntarily, was scanning the group of villagers with a cold expression.
This is his hometown and the occupied area of the Later Jin Dynasty. Among those who look at him with awe or fear, several of his fellow villagers are among them.
Raising his hand, Zhao Huai inserted a short gun with his left hand back to his waist, skillfully loading ammunition for another flintlock gun. Within his eyes, he fell to death two corpses.
The thick one is the Jurchen Guna, who is also the slave owner of these "Tokeso". The slightly shorter one is the son of Kena.
Toksor, translated as "manor" in Chinese, is called "agricultural mat" by the Koreans. In fact, it is the collective production labor of slavery, and the head of the Jurchen family was the slave owner.
A Toksor had at least three or four people, and at most seven or nine people. The powerful slave owner occupied many Toksors, with the largest number of more than fifty.
The slaves in Toksone were called Aha, and their human body was completely occupied by the head of the Jurchen family. The head of the Jurchen family treated Aha as if they were livestock, cruelly exploiting and brutally ravaging them.
Aha can be traded by the head of the family, given away to others, or distributed to his descendants. As for abuse, insult, vicious whipping, or even torture to death, it is not uncommon.
Moreover, according to the Later Jin Dynasty, Aha could not leave the Lord and flee, and Aha would be killed and kept without leaving any trapped escapes.
Kena once fought in all directions and made military achievements before he was rewarded with several Toksors.
But he was brave enough to rush to the front of Zhao Huai's body ten meters and was knocked down with a shot. His son was also killed by Zhao Huai without any mercy.
Zhao Huaiyi was abused, and neither father nor son was good. When he was sent, he thought about killing them countless times to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After loading the short gun with quick and skillful movements, Zhao Huaiyi saw several companions also completing the task and gathered.
"Sir." Zhao Huaiyi bowed to the captain who was running over.
The captain nodded, just glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked up at the surprised or happy people, and said loudly: "If you don't say much, we are the Ming army in southern Liaoning, who are to rescue everyone from the sea of suffering. Those who are willing to leave, hurry up and clean up and set off with us in two quarters of an hour. Tomorrow morning, a large army will come to pick us up."
After pausing, the captain's voice was a little sarcastic, "Of course, I want to continue to be a cattle and a horse for Jiannu, so I will stay with you."
When Zhao Huaiyi saw the captain's gaze signaling, he hurriedly shouted to the people: "Hurry up and clean up. The most important thing is to eat. Bedding and clothes are good. Heavy ones, don't bring large ones. When you go there, the court will distribute them. Don't buy them with your own money!"
Several villagers believed in Zhao Huaiyi and took the lead. With the lead, the remaining people were fed up with the pain and hurried back to clean up.
"Send them away and go to your village. It's not far away, right?" The captain looked at the people leaving and reached out to pat Zhao Huaiyi.
Zhao Huai smiled, but with a little bitterness. After being away from home for so long, they must have thought they were dead and didn’t know how their relatives were doing?
In fact, Zhao Huaiyi and others were just one of the squads that sneaked into the occupied areas of the Later Jin Dynasty to incite and incite. In addition to these small groups, the spontaneous riots and fleeing in Liaodong also started one after another.
The Han people from Zhangtun, who belonged to Haizhou secretly contacted the Ming army in southern Liao to send troops to attack the Jurchens in native gate, and then fled to southern Liaoning. More than ten places including Fengcheng, Xiuyan, Shuangshan, Pingdingshan, Anshan, Shoushan, Zhangyi, etc. also broke out an armed struggle against the Jin Dynasty.
The headquarters of southern Liao and Dongjiang launched a timely attack, constantly harassing Jiannu, and repelling Liao people and fleeing.
The summer is hot, Jiannu is not very adaptable, and strategic adjustments are underway, so he has no energy or mood to get entangled with the Ming army anymore.
All units of the Ming army were also garrisoning food, grass and ammunition to supplement the training of soldiers, and it was impossible to launch a large-scale operation.
There was no big war, but there were no small wars. Although the land of Liaodong was not calm, neither side had the intention of making a big move or launching a big move.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Pi Island.
Although Zhenjiang Fort has been stable and the situation of guarding the river has been formed, the headquarters of Dongjiang Town is still located on Pi Island and has not been replaced.
Mao Wenlong sat in the study, reading the emperor's secret decree.
The secret memorial system not only makes the emperor clear-headed, but also gives his ministers a unique sense of trust and respect. He can communicate with Long Live, and feel proud and superior.
Although it was just midsummer, the emperor had already reported to Mao Wenlong that he went to Beijing to report his work after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was not a matter of three to five years to pacify Liao, but only one or two years.
The emperor's impatientness was reflected in the secret memorials. Without concealment, Mao Wenlong felt that the emperor's trust was extraordinary.
A year is probably not enough, this is Mao Wenlong's judgment. But he did not defeat the emperor's prosperity. Although the year is tight, there is hope.
Long live with such hope, then let’s work hard to achieve or not to achieve this goal.
Mao Wenlong thought for a long time, held the pen in his hand, wrote while thinking, and wrote the reply to the emperor carefully and seriously.
The current Dongjiang headquarters has three teams. According to the standards of the mixed association, each team will be expanded to eight thousand by the end of the year. One thousand flying cavalry, two thousand dragon cavalry, three thousand infantry, and one thousand artillery.
This is already the largest amount that the imperial court can supply. Together, the three alliances alone have 12,000 horses, and the food, grass, and beans needed are also quite amazing.
After reporting on the situation of Dongjiang headquarters, Mao Wenlong dared not falsely report it. Others don’t know that Gou Zhenhuai must have the right to report secretly, and maybe he is writing secretly now!
Next, Mao Wenlong reported the latest news about North Korea to Long Live.
As Zhu Youxiao expected, after the North Korean delegation of Li Qingquan returned to China with the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict, it immediately caused an uproar.
The Korean monarch and ministers believed that the Ming Dynasty's enthronement in history must have been a formal envoy. Now there are only imperial edicts. The so-called "In-zu" and the legitimacy of the throne of In-zu cannot be finally recognized.
Li Wu was also very anxious. If he could not get the official enthronement of the Ming Dynasty, he would provide an excuse for opponents to raise troops and cause chaos. He had just tried his best to calm Li Shi's rebellion, and if he did it again and twice, the throne was in a bad state.
So, after listening carefully to Li Qingquan's report, Li understood. He immediately decided to send another mission to ask the Ming Dynasty to send envoys to formally enthrone the enthrone.
At that time, the Korean monarchs and ministers also saw changes in the situation in Liaodong. They believed that the Later Jin Dynasty had been suppressed and the threat was greatly reduced. It turned out that the strategy of "being close to the Ming Dynasty but not being angry with the Jin Dynasty" could be completely changed.
The North Korean mission had just passed Pidao and went to Dengzhou to pay homage to Yuan Keli, then went to Tianjin to land, and rushed to the capital.
From Mao Wenlong's perspective, he wanted to make this happen and get more material assistance from North Korea, regardless of whether he usurped the rebellion or not!
After saying good things to North Korea, Mao Wenlong felt that it was not enough, especially Long Live and told me to pay special attention to the secret memorials and must not be disclosed.
"I am grateful and frightened by the holy grace. I am so grateful and frightened. I can only do my best to repay the loyalty of the people and horses. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with what I have reported to you, even if I am as close as my father, son and brother, I will never tell you."
Mao Wenlong put down his pen, stroked his beard and checked and considered it repeatedly, and then he felt more satisfied. Especially in the end, he showed his loyalty and made a guarantee, which should make long live and feel at ease.
At this moment, the personal soldiers reported that Grandpa Shen came to ask for a meeting.
"Let him stay for a while." Mao Wenlong frowned and quickly put away the secret memorial box before letting his father-in-law come in.
In fact, Mao Wenlong also guessed a little about the purpose of Mr. Shen’s visit.
With the consolidation of Zhenjiang Fort, the Ming army used this as a basis to continue to deepen and restore more lost land. The production of ginseng in Kuandian, Xindian and other places was the characteristic operation of Shen Taiye’s wealth.
But how can military operations be aimed at digging ginseng? Even if Mao Wenlong wants to take care of his father-in-law, there must be a suitable excuse for the two deputy generals!
"I've met Mr. Mao!" Shen Shikui didn't dare to regard himself as a great master, and he bowed to his son-in-law.
Mao Wenlong stood up to greet him, smiled and helped him, and asked Shen Shikui to sit down, but he felt very unhappy.
I don’t know that your son-in-law has received the letter of long live, and is working hard to win his wife and children? Just staring at the yellow and white things and short-sighted, you can’t ruin a certain path to becoming a marquis just because you make you rich.

Guangning, western Liaoning.
The warm atmosphere of escorting the captives of the Korqin tribe, as well as Jiannu two Beile Amin and others who came to Beijing to offer prisoners, had not yet dissipated. The reinforcements from the two associations arrived again and joined the Liao Town sequence.
As the governor of Liaodong, as soon as Guangning was stabilized, Xiong Tingbi moved his residence here and personally took the front line. He believed that this was his responsibility.
The secret memorial to the emperor has been written. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I secretly went to Beijing to report my work and discussed the plan to pacify Liao, which is the same secret decree as Mao Wenlong.
Although I am a little anxious, from the current supplementary training of troops and the supply of equipment and materials, there is no hope of sank Liao in one year.
Lao Xiong sealed the secret song and came to the sand table to study it carefully. He thought about where should he choose the first place to cross the Liaohe River to counterattack after the winter freeze?
The fastest route is naturally to travel from Zhenwubao, Xixingbao or Xipingbao, cross the Great Wall, pass through the Liaohetao, and reach Huangniwa.
This was also the attack route adopted by Jiannu during the Guangning War. It caught the Ming army of Guangning off guard, resulting in the loss of Xiping Fort and the defeat of Shaling.
If it were just the Ming army in Liaozhen, such a direct attack would be slightly insufficient. You should know that Huangniwa is closer to Liaoyang and not too far from Shenyang. Jiannu is now shrinking here, with many people.
The closest friendly army is the three alliances in Dongjiang Town in southern Liaoning. If they coordinate operations, they can form a pincer attack on Liaoyang. Their forces will be comparable to those of Jiannu.
But this is obviously not enough, and Long Live must know this. With Long Live's cautious attitude, he will definitely increase his troops to ensure his advantage in combat.
Just like what Long Live said in the secret memorial, "no battle without any grip", in order to meet this requirement, at least two additional forces must be added to the forces of the cooperative.
When Dengzhen and Jin Town, Xiong Tingbi immediately thought of these two friendly forces. Not to mention two associations, even four associations, these two towns also have them.
Anyway, Liu Aita, the ones who went to support Dengzhen were the people in Jinzhen, and there were also experienced combat troops who participated in the rotational battle raid.
In this way, the counterattack from western Liaoning alone could be dispatched at least ten cooperatives, with 60,000 or 70,000 troops, which exceeded the number of Jiannu who could be dispatched to fight.
This number is calculated based on mobile troops. Jiannu could have about 60,000 before. After the setbacks and consumption over the past two years, Xiong Tingbi estimated that at most only 50,000 remained.
Based on Jiannu's population base, it is difficult to supplement it. Even if the conditions are relaxed and all the transfers are taken, the combat power will also decrease.
That's it, Xiong Tingbi felt that he was not sure. Of course, he had not included the Dongjiang headquarters. If the Dongjiang headquarters coordinated the action and the Dongjiang headquarters restrained 10,000 or 20,000 Jiannu, there would be a fundamental change.
It can be seen that the emperor had high hopes for Liao Town. In terms of the Ming army's strength in several aspects, only Liao Town's troops were able to fight against Jiannu alone.
This does not include strong support to Liao Town. Whether it is manpower or material resources, Liao Town has gradually become the absolute main force of Pingliao.
Old Xiong didn't know that after the autumn, he rushed to the aid and joined the battle sequence of Liao Town, and the flying cavalry from Jingying were also there.
The emperor's confidence in pacifying Liao in one year was to train more than 10,000 cavalry, who was much more skillful than naturalized cavalry.
The prelude to the war has begun, and the emperor has set a small goal, at least to destroy Jiannu; the big goal is to destroy Jiannu and completely relieve his heart.
Chapter completed!
