Chapter 63: Fortune Zhong Shenxiu
Let the time go back to three days ago, when Hou Guoan had just brought the bad news to Zhifu Island.
Zheng Zhilong also looked worried and pretended.
"Master General, Secretary Jiang Zhejiang asked for a meeting."
After a day of dealing with it, Zheng Zhilong returned to the study, brewed a pot of tea, and quietly outlined his plan in his mind.
He would not really reject Hou Guoan, but he could not agree as soon as someone said that. This would not only seem worthless, but also not get the rights he wanted.
He dared not expect the soldiers and horses of Qilu, but what about the soldiers and horses of Denglai? Zheng Zhilong was always paying attention to Jiaodong.
Therefore, when facing Hou Guoan, his attitude must be well grasped. It is difficult for Hou Guoan to feel that he is "agreeing" so that he can show his value. He can also take the opportunity to seize the rights - to provide conditions.
"Yulong is here, please come in quickly." Zheng Zhilong said.
"Students have met the Grand Marshal." Jiang Zhe, who stepped into the room, had neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
Zheng Zhilong does not know how to read minds. For this person who does not show any leakage in the secretariat, he maintains politeness and respect, which is more of a habit developed in his previous life, rather than a focus on Jiang Zhe's own talents.
But Jiang Zhe was still grateful. Zheng Zhilong was marked as "loving people with kindness, respecting the virtuous and respecting the people" in his heart.
"Why is Yulong coming here at this time?" Zheng Zhilong asked curiously.
Jiang Zhe in front of him is not a talented person, but in the secretary's room, the tasks assigned to him are always completed very well. He is not famous because he doesn't like to make a move, or because he has no background. In Zheng Zhilong's eyes, he is also marked as "low-key duty".
"The students came to meet the Grandmaster to solve the problem."
Jiang Zhe's words made Zheng Zhilong laugh. This was too big. He waved his hand and made a gesture to tell him to continue speaking.
"The general's eyes are lofty, and he may have seen this scene when he was on Juehua Island. Therefore, he led thousands of elite soldiers back to Jiaodong, and as soon as he returned to Zhifu, he would integrate his troops, strengthen training, and prepare for war without stopping."
Zheng Zhilong's relaxed body suddenly sat upright. Can Jiang Zhe, who was "low-key and dedication" in front of him see so deeply?
He was still very good at speaking, and he had already seen this scene when he was on Juehua Island, so he led thousands of elite soldiers back to Jiaodong, saying that Zheng Zhilong was like a loyal minister and general of the Ming Dynasty.
Show, true show, show of flowers.
Zheng Zhilong never expected that there was a person like this lurking in his secretary's room.
And his expression reaction was the best encouragement to Jiang Zhe. "Since Jianlu had to arrange troops before Ningyuan, he would definitely not be able to lead his troops south. However, even if his troops could not be incompetent, it was not that the general was able to compete with the generals. The local people in Qilu recruited civilian troops. As the general said, how could a group of mobs stop this great task?
The superiors were brought into the barrier by Jiangu, which had ruined half of the Northern Zhili and Ludong. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity to enter and wanted to gain the benefits of the previous rebirth, so he could only go west to Hejian, learn from the scriptures and settle down Shunde, sweep the northern part of the Yellow River. Or cross the Dongchang Prefecture and go straight to Yanzhou, and then divide the troops from Yanzhou into two groups, take Qingzhou in the east, Denglai, and go south to Nanzhili."
Baoding is west of Hejian Prefecture. No matter how bad the Ming army is, Baoding will not be lost. The south side of the Yellow River is the territory of the rebel army. Jianlu and Li Zicheng now have the same enemy and are comrades in the same trench. Even if there is no open contact, the necessary tacit understanding will not be missing.
Dongchang Prefecture was in the northwest of Qilu, and last time it was swept away by Dorgon. When he fought to the south of Dongchang Prefecture, although Yanzhou Prefecture was also ravaged by the Qing army, it still saved some vitality. The Ming army not only defended Yanzhou Prefecture City Ziyang last time, but also won a small victory in Zou County. There was still meat to eat there.
But to the west of Dongchang Prefecture, that is, Jinan Prefecture, there are only bones but no trace of fat.
Dorgon led his army to the fortress last time and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Jinan. Because the governor of Qilu Yan Jizu had been ordered to lead troops to defend Dezhou, only 500 rural soldiers and 7,000 reinforcements in Laizhou (paper strength) were left in the city. The forces of the two sides were very different. The Qilu Censor Song Xuezhu, the left governor Zhang Bingwen, the prefect of Jinan Gou Haoshan and the county magistrate of Licheng Han Chengxuan led his troops to resist the Qing army's offensive for nine days and nights, and all died in battle. King De Zhu Youshu and others were either killed or captured. The Qing soldiers burned and killed hundreds of thousands of officers, soldiers, soldiers, and soldiers, and soldiers, and soldiers, and stayed in the city for fourteen days before leaving. Later, Jinan took home in Jiaobi, with deep pits in the room, filled with lake wells, and stairs and alleys. It was a tragic event that had not been seen in thousands of years! The Tatars were there to harvest the most.
The rich Jinan Prefecture was also ruined into a piece of white land. This time, Abatai led his army into the Frontier. Anyone who had some brains would not kill him from Dongchang Prefecture to Jinan Prefecture. Now the governor of Qilu, Wang Guobin, is already so nervous. It can be foreseeable that when the Qing army attacked, he would inevitably inspire the military and civilians to defend Jinan at all costs. That is a hard bone! What's more important is that there is no meat!
Jiang Zhe didn't need to explain this, Zheng Zhilong fully understood. He saw clearly the purpose of the army entering the Frontier, one was to traumatize the war potential and government prestige of the Ming court, and the other was to plunder money, grain and people to provide for their own needs.
Abatai won’t go to Jinan City to chew bones.
"In the battle of Zhuxian Town, 180,000 officials were defeated, and Li Chuang was surrounded by Kaifeng. His Majesty chose Hong Jingluo to make meritorious contributions, and the two generals of the commanders Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen entered Kaifeng. As a result, Kaifeng City came up with a plan to replace military forces with water. Although the losses were heavy, they turned all the entire eastern Henan into a marina, but Li Chuang had to retreat to Nanyang. Hong Jingluo immediately stopped his troops in Daming Prefecture to rest. This time, when the Qing army entered the frontier, His Majesty would let Hong Jingluo coordinate the world's troops to resist. The Qing army wanted to advance west from Hejian, but it was unlikely that it would be for students.
Hong Jingluo has experienced many battles and is one of the few people in the world who know the military. Even if he has the power to command the military, he will definitely not easily fight Jianlu. The two will often reach a stalemate.
The Qing army was also very likely to be divided into two parts, one stayed in Dongchang and confronted the official army. The other went south to Yanzhou and conquered the city and territory.
The place where the commander uses his skills must be in Yanzhou.
There was a lineage of King Lu in Yanzhou City. The emperor suffered a loss from Jinan, which had already caused His Majesty to start a massacre. Governor Yan Jizu and general Zu Kuan, dozens of people fell to the ground. This time, the enemy attacked Yanzhou, and Qilu defended Jinan to the death. In addition, when Yanzhou was in danger, how could he sit down? He would definitely choose generals and lead elite troops to advance to support him.
As for the Qi and Lu realm, who else would be the commander?
There are also Qufu, Zouxian, Jiaxiang and other places around Ziyang, which are the Miao peoples of Confucius, Mencius, Zeng and Yan. Once a frightened battle arises, they will never dare to make mistakes, otherwise they will be alarmed and have no face to face the world.
All places will summon the generals to lead troops to advance and support, but how can one person take care of everything? Once there is any mistake, it will inevitably lead to the old story of Yan Zhongcheng. (Yan Jizu was moved to Dezhou by Yang Sichang. Jinan, the original defense area, was empty. Jizu, given the small front-line strength and long front line, requested reinforcements several times, but Liu Zeqing and Ni Chong, the generals of the generals, could not stay in. In the end, Jinan fell, and King De Zhu Youshu and his son Prince Zhu Ci and others were captured. Emperor Chongzhen was furious and protected Yang Sichang and chopped Yan Jizu's head.)
Even if the commander holds heavy troops, the imperial edict cannot be cured. However, if the guards are asked to destroy the Konglin and destroy the Meng Temple, even if the commander has a reason, the people in the world love to follow others and spread rumors. How can they listen to them? If you are safe, your reputation will be destroyed. Zheng will not escape the world's longing!"
"Master Yu's grand vision and long-term strategy are a big obstacle."
