Not only that, the Korean court also ordered all the volunteers in Yonggushan City to move inland, with the intention of recalling the gold medals and settling scores in the future.
When the rebels heard the news, their hearts suddenly dispersed and they fled away from the city. In order to save their lives, Zheng Fengshou and his family took refuge on Pi Island.
Sure enough, feudal emperors are all virtuous. They don't care about their people or the country. As long as they can sit in the seat under their buttocks and continue to enjoy themselves, they don't care if they lose their power and humiliate the country.
Guo Dajing sighed with emotion, comforted Zheng Fengshou, and invited him and his family to live on Guanglu Island for a long time.
"Thank you, General Guo, for your kindness." Zheng Fengshou neither refused nor agreed immediately. He said, "Zheng will obey orders from Marshal Mao for the time being. He will wait for some time before making any plans."
Guo Dajing did not force himself and asked about the situation of Cui Xiaoyi and others.
Compared with Zheng Bongshou, the situation of Choi Xiaoyi and others was much better. He served under the new Yiju Governor Im Kyungyeop and installed many Korean righteous men.
The key is that Zheng Fengshou accepted Mao Wenlong's appointment and seal. This is probably a matter of principle.
It can also be seen from this that North Korea's attitude is pro-Ming and anti-Mao, and it may not be that they have no intention of driving the Dongjiang Army out of North Korea through the help of Jianlu.
Seeing that it was noon, Guo Dajing warmly invited everyone, and everyone did not refuse. They got on their horses and left the military camp and went straight to the village.
"I thought your marriage had been arranged long ago!" Chen Jisheng said, "I didn't expect it to take so long."
Guo Dajing chuckled and said: "The general is counting on Chen Shuai coming, so he will seize the time and catch the autumn wind."
"The calculation is good." Chen Jisheng was in a good mood and joked, "Then if you calculate again, will Jianlu withdraw his troops from Ningjin?"
Guo Dajing smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, they will definitely withdraw their troops before the summer heat."
After a pause, he added: "Chen Shuai, if your calculations are accurate, please call some craftsmen from Pi Island."
Chen Jisheng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will make this bet with you."
Building captives and attacking fortresses is not his specialty, but there is a stupid way to break the city and encircle it for a long time. As long as two conditions are met, firstly, there will be sufficient supply of food and fodder, and secondly, there will be no worries.
For now, Jianlu has obtained a lot of grain and supplies from North Korea and looted a lot around Jinzhou. The first condition is somewhat barely met.
But the second condition is not met at all. Mao Wenlong is still there, the Dongjiang Army still exists, and the large land in Liaodong ruled by Jianlu is not tightly guarded enough.
Historically, after Mao Wenlong's death, the Dongjiang Army fell apart. How did the Jianlu take action in western Liaoning? Besieging the Daling River, besieging Jinzhou, and besieging for a long time became the common battle plan of the Jianlu.
Western Liaoning and Eastern Liaoning are complementary to each other and respond to each other to fight against the enemy. If the Dongjiang Army disintegrates, the Guan Ning Army will also fall into complete passivity, but the princes in the court cannot see this.
The war was approaching, but Chen Jisheng, Zheng Fengshou and others had never imagined that they would have this rare opportunity to have a hearty drink and talk and laugh.
In the courtyard, there was a small banquet, which was not sumptuous but had plenty of food and wine. They continued to eat and drink until almost dusk, and everyone returned home happily.
"Old Liu, I won't accompany you tomorrow." Guo Dajing helped Liu Xingzuo, who was stumbling and stumbling, out of the courtyard, and he did not forget to tease: "Today we have decided who is superior, and you can't accept it even if you don't accept it."
Liu Xingzuo was still dissatisfied with Guo Dajing, but he had to hold on to the wall. He still tried to show off his strength in a drunken state, and his tongue was hardened: "Good morning, I didn't eat in the morning, I'm empty, I'm on an empty stomach. I let you pick it up, I got the advantage. Tomorrow, I'll spare you first, or,
I can’t get into the bridal chamber, it’s my sister’s fault!”
"Thank you very much!" Guo Dajing arched his hands in a strange manner, called for his soldiers, and sent Liu Xingzuo and others, who were still grumbling, back to the military camp to rest.
When Guo Dajing returned to the inner courtyard, Sister Li Xiu had already prepared the face wash and was waiting on him diligently.
Guo Dajing also drank a lot, but his body was really capable of drinking. At least on the surface, Liu Xingzuo couldn't beat him.
"Then you go to bed early." Sister Li Xiu stretched out her hand to support Guo Dajing, who didn't even wash his face, and sent him into the house.
"It's okay." Guo Dajing sat on the edge of the kang, still shaking a little. He took Sister Li Xiu's hand, patted it and said with a silly smile: "It's only 40 degrees, it's not a big deal. I can still drink two big bowls and knock them all down."
Sister Li Xiu didn't understand what 40 degrees was, so she could only coax with a smile: "Brother Guo is the most powerful, how can they be your opponents?"
Guo Dajing chuckled and said: "You are no match. Tomorrow I will worship heaven and earth, enter the bridal chamber, and let you know how powerful I am..."
Sister Li Xiu was extremely embarrassed, but she still patiently coaxed her until Guo Dajing said he was tired, lay down and fell asleep.
After taking off the man's shoes and socks and covering him with a quilt, Sister Li Xiu was still a little worried. She sat by the kang and listened to the man's even calls before quietly going back to the house to rest.
……………
The battle between Ning and Jin was still going on, but Guo Dajing was supposed to get married and drink wine. Anyway, even if he had thousands of plans, they would not be implemented.
While Governor Yuan continued his performance, memorials were sent to the capital one after another, which made all the ministers in the court criticize him. It also fully exposed that he had fallen into extreme panic, and even lost his mind and talked nonsense.
"However, the barbarian soldiers may not be able to stay for long in this hot summer. I have ordered the boat division to move back and ordered the Western captives to support them. If they retreat, I will invite the emperor's spirit."
Jinzhou is in dire straits and Ningyuan is unable to rescue them. If the Xilu troops are to be forced to retreat, it will only be God's blessing. It all depends on luck.
"If they attack in different divisions, but our troops cannot penetrate through the battle, Jin Wei will be destroyed, and those who are trapped in Jin will be trapped in Ning. Although the city is well prepared, there will be no food and no support..."
Governor Yuan not only has completely lost confidence in Jinzhou, but is also full of worries about Ningyuan's defense. He can defend it, but he will be doomed if he runs out of food!
"Then it is expected that Ningyuan, the mountain and the sea, will be the ones to come to the rescue, and it is none other than Jimen Sanxie and Xuanda Town. But if you have soldiers, you must have pay, and you must not beg for food."
Your Majesty, please quickly mobilize the troops from the Three Associations of Ji Town and the two towns of Xuanda to reinforce Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and at the same time replenish the food and grass supplies in both places.
"Slave, I am arrogant and arrogant. Why don't you succeed? I want to unite with the Western captives and give them a favor, so they attack the Western captives and attack my friends. I use Xianshan to tie them up, but they attack Xianshan and empty my stronghold. I borrow
When Kuan Yu takes advantage of the opportunity, he urgently repairs the left and right sides of Ling Jin to choke his throat, while he invades Xian's troops and attacks my building. He is ruthless in doing so but cannot retreat..."
Is this saying that Jianlu is cunning and clever, or is he a slap in the face, saying that he is stupid and fell behind in Zhaozhao, and Jianlu took advantage of him in Zhaozhao? In other words, Governor Yuan was manipulated by Huang Taiji and why?
Not aware of it.
With such IQ and strategy, Guo Dajing wanted to ask Commander Yuan: "Where did you get the confidence to speak so boldly, and where did you get the confidence to lead the troops in war?"
A gambler who speculated in politics, who gambled with small things to win big, earned the title of a famous general by defending Ningyuan for two days, and suddenly became a person like a great official in a feudal territory.
Amidst the praise, Governor Yuan was carried away. He really thought that he was a military wizard and a famous general. Unfortunately, a battle between Ning and Jin revealed his true colors.
Even with such panicked alarmism, Governor Yuan felt that it was not enough, and his gambler nature broke out again, and he reported to the emperor that he would have a decisive battle with Jianlu in Ningjin.
In order to cope with Governor Yuan's crazy attack without even formulating a specific plan, he asked the court to mobilize the troops from Baoding, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, and even the Beijing camp.
"...At that time, all the power of the world was used to fight against it in front of the pass, but now it is decided against Ningjin...to fight to the death to reach Jinzhou, and to combine Jin's soldiers and horses to fight hard, so that the barbarians and horses will not fight back. Fight this If 35,000 people die for the enemy, then the enemy will be invincible."
In the important town of Jiubian, Governor Yuan wanted to mobilize five towns at once. The four towns of Shanxi, Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu were probably too far away, so Governor Yuan let them go.
"When victory is achieved by surprise, those who lurk in the sky and the earth will be secretly discussed by the ministers and secretly, and they dare not reveal it first. However, the soldiers in each town have been sitting for a long time without food, and each soldier and the soldiers leaving the customs are all going to have food here, so the farmers and Tsube’s appointment.”
The Carpenter Emperor is completely confused. He wants to mobilize all the troops in the world to fight a decisive battle with Jianlu. You still have to keep it a secret. You don't tell me the specific plan. You just ask me to prepare money and food.
He also sacrificed 35,000 people from Ningyuan to die for the enemy. Then the imperial court spent money on it, right?
If Jianlu can be defeated by hard work, then what happened to Saarhu and how did Liaodong fall?
Tianqi is still relatively sober. If he were Chongzhen, he might believe it.
As the top commander on the front line, the imperial court is required to use more than half of the main force in the north for a decisive battle. The battle plan does not dare to be revealed first, that is, there is no one; you also have to guess the specific tactics. Guess, isn't this nonsense?
Yan Mingtai immediately went to court, thinking that Yuan Chonghuan's words could not be believed and that it was nonsense to risk his life.
"Jinzhou is located in a remote place and is not an important place. The construction at that time was a mistake. It disturbed half of the world in this small area and almost endangered the world..."
The Ministry of War later also gave its opinion and considered it a "dangerous move": "The sparseness of the governor is a strange move, but it is actually a danger. If you don't fight to the death, the siege will be insurmountable. The governor's sparseness is also a stable move, fearing that the siege will be insurmountable." We will fight to the death but the siege will be insurmountable."
Does Yuan Chonghuan really want to fight Jianlu and die to serve the country?
Wrong, Governor Yuan did not have the loyalty to die generously, but was looking for excuses for himself and a way out.
You see, it’s not that I have no choice or courage, it’s because the court doesn’t allow it! I dragged most of the troops from the nine-border town in the north to take risks and gamble. What Commander Yuan wants is the court’s rejection.
In order to have an explanation for himself, he lied about war and defense and lied to the court, which shows the dark side of Governor Yuan's heart.
When Ping Liao's lies could no longer be explained in the fifth year, Governor Yuan resorted to his old tricks, even at the expense of national interests and the lives of tens of thousands of people, and tried every possible means to negotiate peace with the rebels in order to achieve the purpose of acquitting themselves.
Character determines destiny. This saying is absolutely true when applied to Governor Yuan.
The battle of Ningjin has reached this point, and it seems that there is only one way left to relieve Jinzhou. Well, it should be two.
The first is God's blessing, Jianlu couldn't bear the coming scorching heat and retreated on his own; the second was the containment of Dongjiang Town, forcing Jianlu to return to his division.
Originally, there was North Korea as an ally. If fighting was not enough, waving flags and shouting could help. But now, only Dongjiang Town is left fighting alone.
The strength of the Dongjiang Army is different from that of the same period in history. The most important thing is that Guo Dajing, a prophet who is familiar with the development of historical events, will win the widest praise from the government and the public at the smallest cost.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning filtered through the window lattice, forming mottled light and shadow on the table, and Guo Dajing opened his eyes.
The biological clock adjusts very quickly, and the wake-up time before and after marriage is slightly different, but Guo Dajing has completely adapted to it.
The person next to the pillow had already put on his clothes, looked at his man and smiled shyly, then hurriedly got off the kang and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Guo Dajing.
Yawning, Guo Dajing also got up and dressed. After a while, he came to the courtyard and washed himself with the prepared water.
The day after the wedding, Guo Dajing returned to the military camp and started intensive preparations with Liu Xingzuo and other officers.
Three hundred elites were carefully selected to form a infiltration commando team, one hundred and fifty sword and crossbowmen, and one hundred and fifty sword and shield bearers. They were personally led by Guo Dajing for intensive training.
Sneaking behind enemy lines requires staying out at night and day, and it is necessary to prepare enough dry food that can be eaten without making a fire. According to the convention at that time, each person with light armor could carry about ten days of dry food.
In order to ensure the speed of crossing mountains and wading rivers, all three hundred elite soldiers were wearing light armor. This was also the reason why Guo Dajing did not bring spearmen.
If the protection is not enough, shields are needed. The commando team is divided into three teams, each team has fifty crossbowmen and fifty sword shield bearers. They cover each other and use a combination of long-range and close combat.
In order to carry more combat supplies, the commando team was equipped with thirty pack horses.
This was only preparation work on the surface. Guo Dajing also stored dry food and ammunition in the space. Not to mention ten days and a half, even two or three months would be enough to support him.
They are all experienced elites. During the training, Guo Dajing mainly trained in night combat, ambush, stealth and other events.
The time was relatively short, but the training intensity was very intense, and Guo Dajing's requirements were also very strict. Although it still did not meet the standards of elite soldiers in later generations, it was already stronger than most of the current armies.
In order to ensure enough physical strength, Guo Dajing was also willing to invest in the food of the commandos. He was full of food and had meat for every meal, whether it was vegetables or soup; whether it was horse meat, pork, or fish.
The preparations are sufficient. Even if Mao Wenlong does not accept Guo Dajing's suggestion, Guo Dajing is still ready to take the team out and practice it through actual combat.
The training was arduous. Guo Dajing did it personally, leading the commando team to crawl through the mountains and forests, practicing camouflage and lurking during the day, and practicing sneak attacks and marches at night.
But through this training camp, these three hundred elites were convinced of Guo Dajing. All their fatigue and complaints were driven away by Guo Dajing's superb skills and good food.
The slogan "sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war" on the training field is no longer an empty slogan, it is gradually being accepted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It was a rare morning to rest today, but Guo Dajing still had to go to the military camp and the workshop to do other work.
Sister Li Xiu is a first-time wife, and her face can reveal shyness and happiness at all times inadvertently. She is trying her best to be a virtuous and gentle daughter-in-law.
No matter how late Guo Dajing comes home, unless someone tells him that he will not come back tonight, Sister Li Xiu will wait for the man, heat up food for him, and fetch him water to wash up.
