After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 91
As a commander, Tan Deyu is mainly in charge of military affairs, so he naturally has some unique insights.

"It's a matter of fact that the Qing army was not well-prepared for the battle this time, otherwise, it would not be the only way to advance. People such as Ma Guanghui and Yi Yonggui did not send troops to respond, which shows that the Qing army is not monolithic. "

Zhu Yiyuan took it very seriously, "This statement is reasonable, you can see where the Qing army's problems are, why are there conflicts?"

Tan Deyu said with a smile: "Mostly, he was eager to strive for success. Tong Yangliang relied on the power of the Tong family and didn't take the other Qing troops seriously. He suffered a loss in Mengyin again and lost some cronies. The last time he wanted to attack, the food and grass He lost again, so he couldn't wait, so he had to settle accounts with us. Qian Qianyi was not ready yet, so Tong Yangliang simply asked Ke Yongsheng, the general soldier of Jiaozhou, to help him and get rid of Qian Qianyi and others. But in the final analysis, it is still It depends on Tong Yangquan's soldiers and horses."

Zhu Yiyuan paused, and encouraged: "Keep talking."

"Ke Yongsheng sent troops from Jiaozhou. Not only was the journey long, but the roads along the way were also difficult, and the mountains and rivers blocked him. He was helping, and there was no need to sacrifice his life for Tong Yangquan. So he will definitely be late. He will not really contribute. We will wait It's useless to defeat Ke Yongsheng."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Qi Ye, you are becoming more and more like a general now."

Being praised by Zhu Yiyuan, Tan Deyu felt rather embarrassed, "If I'm not in this position, I don't want to do anything about it. I'm in this position, so I have to think a little bit more. Up to now, the really important thing is one thing."

Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said, "It's whether we have the ability to eat Tong Yangquan."

"Yes!" Tan Deyu said: "Originally we had five thousand households, but we added two later, and Wang Jun's troops were reorganized into three thousand households. In addition, we also formed a team of three hundred cavalry. Get up, there are tens of thousands of people. The only problem is that the gunpowder has just started to be manufactured, and there is no time to equip it. However, a lot of gunpowder has been produced in a hurry. I mean to use the gunpowder properly. "

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't think of a better idea, so he nodded and said, "Where should we choose the battlefield?"

Tan Deyu pulled the map and put his finger on an important position.

Gegou store!
This is the main road from Yizhou to Yishui. If you want to reinforce Juzhou, you have to go here.

As long as a team is sent to defend Gegoudian, delay Tong Yangliang's main force, and give the rebels time to spread out, the fate of this Qing army is doomed.

"You thing, let me stay at the Gegou shop!" Tan Deyu asked.

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head and said, "You are not suitable."

Tan Deyu was startled, "Could it be that Prince Zhao is here?"

Zhu Yiyuan pointed to his nose and said with a smile, "Of course it's me."

Tan Deyu was a little dazed, and immediately said: "No, absolutely not. This is too dangerous, no one can let him go."

Zhu Yiyuan waved his hand, "Qiye, I am the most suitable candidate because of the danger. I am in the Gegou store, and the soldiers can defend with all their strength, and the soldiers outside can also attack with all their strength. Qiye is good at fighting, and he is superior to me. , asking you to defend is a waste of talent, Qi Ye still doesn't understand this truth?"

Tan Deyu grinned wryly, not because he didn't understand, but because Zhu Yiyuan took the risk, it was really unreasonable.

"That's how it is, call all the big guys over, let's discuss the matter and have a good discussion."

Then Zhao Yingyuan, Zhao Shizhe, Song Jicheng, Song Lian, Gu Yanwu, Zhang Lin, Jiang Qi, these people came in again, and the big guys discussed together.

In fact, everyone understands that asking Zhu Yiyuan to go to the Gegou store is indeed the best choice, but no one can say it out... After a long silence, Gu Yanwu suddenly said: "It's a matter, no matter what, I plan to stay by my side."

Zhu Yiyuan was surprised for a while, and then smiled and said: "Then it's decided, Mr. Ning Ren and I will bring a thousand households, and together with Wang Jun, we will go to Gegou store to defend against Tong Yangliang."

"General Zhao, you lead a thousand households, plus the militia, to restrain the soldiers and horses in Juzhou. The rest of the people will be handed over to Commander Tan, as the main force, to take the opportunity to wipe out Tong Yangliang's soldiers and horses, let this thing There is no back and forth!"

Zhao Yingyuan pondered for a while, and said: "It doesn't take a thousand households, just give me 500 people. The stronger the troops of Commander Tan, the better!"

Zhu Yiyuan immediately agreed, and then they discussed the details of the deployment and entered the implementation stage.

Bing is expensive and fast, Zhu Yiyuan dare not neglect at all.

He handed over government affairs to Zhang Lin, Jiang Qi, and Song Lian to be in charge, but he specifically explained that Zhang Lin was the main one in daily government affairs. When encountering major events, the three of them could not settle down, and Song Lian was responsible for making the final decision.

At the same time, their decision-making process must be strictly recorded and handed over to Zhu Yiyuan after the war.

This rule became an important rule for Zhu Yiyuan's subordinates to do things in the future. Everything should be clearly stated and put on the table.We have small profits and small profits, so we can't afford the intrigue.

The three took orders, "You must take care of yourself!"

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, and then he led an army of thousands of households, together with Gu Yanwu, to lead the troops southward.

At this time, the troops are dispatched, the first month has not yet come out, and the festive atmosphere has not dissipated.

Especially in the territory of Yishui, the average land has been spread out, and many people have obtained their own land. The big guys are full of enthusiasm, and they are all gearing up and want to do a big job.

There are also many old farmers who hang out in the fields all day long, even if it is not time to cultivate, they are happy to see their land.

All of the dark, wrinkled faces burst into inexplicable laughter at every turn, and they couldn't stand it.

I really have a field, my own field!
It goes without saying that the hearts of the people are so.

Seeing that Zhu Yiyuan led the army to go south, soon some villagers brought food and offered to send it over. Steamed buns, eggs, and red dates are all things that the big guys are reluctant to eat. I originally wanted to stay for a while, but seeing Zhu Yiyuan led the soldiers, All were brought out without hesitation.

"Young Master Zhu, you must win!"

"Yes, the folks are looking forward to it! We will kill all the Tartars."

Zhu Yiyuan thanked the villagers, "Don't worry, everyone, we will return victorious and live up to the big guys."

Then Zhu Yiyuan told the soldiers that they must pay the people, and they must not take it for nothing.

Along the way, people continued to bring food and drink, and more young and strong people helped to transport food and supplies. Gu Yanwu was shocked by the enthusiasm of the people.

"Everyone says how great the Tartars are, and what is invincible. In my opinion, if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in the past could have cared for the people and won the support of the villagers, the Qing army would have been defeated long ago. As for the disaster today!" Gu Yanwu said: "In the final analysis, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and whoever wins the support of the people will undoubtedly win!"

"It's a matter of fact. Originally, I was worried that Tong Yang's elite troops would be difficult to defeat. Now it seems that I was worrying too much. We will win!"

Gu Yanwu's enthusiasm infected Zhu Yiyuan, and the rebel army was immersed in joy, and their morale was quite high.

As he was walking forward, suddenly a group of troops gathered, and the leader was none other than the King of Nine Mountains, Wang Jun.

After a long distance, Wang Jun jumped off his horse and rushed to Zhu Yiyuan.

"Hey, why are you personally leading the army this time?"

Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said, "I'm the leader and don't make the decision, how to fight is up to you."

Wang Jun was startled, showing a look of surprise, "It's not good for you, I'll listen to you."

Zhu Yiyuan waved his hand, "You fought against Tong Yangliang in Da Cang Mountain, and you are familiar with his habits. I'm just helping you. How to fight is up to you."

Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "It's true, to be honest, thousands of my brothers died at the hands of Tong Yangliang, we have a mortal hatred, this time it should be counted as one." never mind."

As soon as Wang Jun turned his head, several generals in strong and sharp clothes gathered around one after another.

"Don't worry, we will fight to the death in this battle, and we will fight the Tartars!"

Unity is strength, hearts are available.

Zhu Yiyuan was overjoyed, "Very good, let's go to Gegou store immediately, and prepare to fight the Qing army to the death."
