Chapter 206 Mao Wenlong's Trouble

Phi Island.

"Although it is a joint battle of four towns, the Dongjiang Army Zuoxie is still the main force." Mao Wenlong patted the document on the table to report victory, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In the battle of Lushun Fort, the slaves were defeated and collapsed, which is really exciting. .”

Chen Jisheng smiled and said: "Just like us, the defense of the position has shown its strength. In the future, we will have more confidence in fighting."

Gou Zhenhuai took the document, read it carefully again, and said slowly: "Jianu has suffered a great loss, and the combat may change in the future. Our army should also train strictly. If you have a short board, you can boldly fight against the enemy."

"Lieutenant General Gou's words are right." Mao Wenlong agreed, and said, "If the Zuoxie is strong in close combat and Jiannu loses in Lushun Fort, it will not be as simple as losing a few thousand troops."

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "As for Jiannu changing the way of fighting, in my opinion, there is only one way to thicken the armor. The eagle blunderbuss breaks the armor and is extremely ferocious. You can apply to the court for more adjustments. "

"There are also Jiannu's shield chariots." Mao Wenlong finally added: "The artillery can be destroyed, but it needs to be manufactured by the imperial court to equip the various armies."

Chen Jisheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "The cost is not small, and it will take time to manufacture. I am afraid that it will not be able to meet the needs of our army in a short period of time. At present, it is better to increase harassment and contain the tired enemy as the main combat method."

Gou Zhenhuai nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "That's right. In less than a year, the officers and soldiers in each town have changed significantly, thanks to the great efforts of the Holy One. We still have to make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and share our worries for Long Live."

"Long live the wise man." Mao Wenlong clasped his hands and said, "Things are well-planned. The equipment of the eagle guns and artillery is proceeding as planned."

Gou Zhenhuai smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Long live is wise and wise, I'm far behind."

Chen Jisheng knew that these two people must have some secrets. When it came to the emperor, he didn't dare to inquire about it, so he also bowed his hands and said a few compliments.

Gou Zhenhuai had the right to play the secret, and he also guessed that Mao Wenlong would have it.

Similarly, Mao Wenlong knew that Gou Zhenhuai had the duty of supervising the army, so he would definitely have the right to play secret.But he also has it, and he deliberately said it to Gou Zhenhuai.

Mao Wenlong believed that after becoming the commander of the town, there was no violation of laws and regulations, and he did his best to lead the army in battle.

To reveal this to Gou Zhenhuai this time is also to remind him that he has the right to defend in secret.If there is any mistake, it is better not to go through the Holy One, it is more appropriate to tell him directly.

How could Gou Zhenhuai not understand what Mao Wenlong meant, but he didn't take it seriously.

In his view, as long as you are loyal to state affairs and don't lie to the Holy Majesty, you won't complain to the Emperor even if you have a little problem.But if you want to deceive the king, even if you take gold and silver treasures, don't blame me for being rude.

Of course, Gou Zhenhuai admitted the responsibility of being the supervisor of the army, and the emperor also gave it to him personally.

Zhu Youxiao didn't like the official position and title of Supervising Army.As part of the reform of the military system, not only Dongjiang Town, but also the whole country is being gradually eliminated.

But in fact, only the powers and names have changed, and the original military supervisor has either been reduced in power or replaced by military judges and supervisors.

For example, the supervising troops of the various armies that suppressed the rebellion in the Southwest, according to the latest imperial decree, are only responsible for food and nuclear crimes, and are not allowed to stop.

That is to say, the position of supervising the army is temporarily reserved, but it is no longer able to control the military command of the generals, which largely avoids the situation of civil and military discord and restraint in advance and retreat.

In fact, the vast majority of people are not aware of the emperor's extreme aversion to "use of literature to control military force", and they only think it is an act of power at the moment of the war.

Even Wang Sanshan, who was transferred to the capital to take charge of next year's Jingcha, didn't know that the main reason why the emperor replaced him was that he ordered the military superintendents to control the generals.

But Fu Zonglong did the opposite when he was playing the right game, and finally made the emperor make up his mind to be promoted, listen to his plan, and entrust him with important tasks.

The sudden launch of the Dongjiang Army and the coordinated actions of various military towns dealt Jiannu a heavy blow by surprise.

The Zhengbai Banner led by Babeile Huang Taiji, who moved to Xiuyan, was about to mobilize troops after receiving an urgent letter from Erbeile Amin, when the news of Zhenjiang being besieged by the Ming army came again.

Judging from the distance, going to Nanguan is twice as far as going to Zhenjiang. Which one to rescue first made it difficult for Huang Taiji to make a decision for a while.

From the analysis of intelligence, although Amin's Xianglan Banner was defeated, there are still a lot of troops, and there should be no problem in defending the South Pass.

The occupation of Zhenjiang means that the Ming army under the banner of Mao Wenlong has got rid of Daishan's two-banner troops.

At least, it will take Daishan a day or two later to lead his troops from Manpu and Changcheng to Zhenjiang than he led his troops to rush to Zhenjiang.

After such an analysis, Huang Taiji changed his original decision and sent someone to send a letter to Amin, telling him to stick to the South Gate and never attack Lushun Fort again.

After stabilizing this side, Huang Taiji led the Zhengbai flag and galloped eastward towards Zhenjiang.

The result is obvious, Huang Taiji came late, Zhenjiang was breached, and the defenders were wiped out.

The Ming army had already retreated, leaving him only an empty city after the war.

Here comes the question again, should we garrison in Zhenjiang, or go back to reinforce Amin in Nanguan?

As for the division of troops, one to defend the city and one to reinforce, Huang Taiji didn't have to think about it at all.Wouldn't such an arrangement give the Ming army another chance to attack again?
Fortunately, after stationing in Zhenjiang City for a day, the inlaid red flag sent by Daishan arrived under the leadership of Yue Tuo, enabling Huang Taiji to withdraw and return to help.

The arrival of Yue Tuo also brought not-so-good news to Huang Taiji, making him more aware of the current combat situation.

Under the repeated blocking of the Ming army, Daishan's two red flags caused more than 3000 casualties.After another two days of preparation by the Yalu River, we crossed the river.There was no expected Ming army to intercept, and Manpu and Changcheng were empty.

In other words, Daishan's team has no record, let alone harvest.Although compared with Amin's defeat, it is already much stronger.

"This is an attack and harassment operation by the Ming army!" On the way to Nanguan, Huang Taiji made a judgment, "Looking at the emptiness of my great gold, attack and retreat quickly, and have no intention of fighting directly."

Luo Xiujin believed it deeply, and said: "Master Baylor's words are very true. It's just that it's really hard to guard against advances and retreats like this. According to someone's prediction, this trip to Nanguan will be mostly useless. The enemy should have abandoned Lushun Fort. Sail away."

Huang Taiji nodded, although he had a judgment, but there was no better way, who let Hou Jin only have so many people, and still occupy such a large space!
If troops are stationed everywhere, it is giving the Ming army a chance to attack each one, which is the real way to death.

With a wry smile, Huang Taiji said: "I'm afraid, Big Baylor is also suffering from a headache!"

Luo Xiujin knew that Huang Taiji was talking about Manpu and Changcheng, Dabeile Daishan must be in a dilemma, it is difficult to choose whether to defend or abandon.

"It's a small town across the river, it doesn't matter if you don't guard it." Luo Xiujin was also very helpless, shaking her head and said: "Dongjiang Mao Wenlong has gradually become a confidant's trouble."

Huang Taiji looked into the distance, narrowed his eyes slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Mao Wenlong's trouble, kill your ears immediately!"

This is no longer just a matter of harassment. With the Dongjiang Army present, Houjin would not be able to concentrate its forces to attack western Liaoning.This battle seems to be a warning to Houjin.

Either shrink in Liaoshen and give up a large area of ​​​​occupied areas, which is as close as waiting for death; or destroy the Dongjiang Army and move westward without worry;

These three roads were placed before Huang Taiji, although the second one was the best, but how easy is it to destroy the Dongjiang army stationed on the island?
……………………… Divider line………………………

Autumn in the north comes earlier than in the south, the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, and the sun is still warm, which makes people feel very comfortable.

The questioning at Caishikou has just ended, and the discussion after tea time will continue, and the imperial court's "unpredictable plan and brave department" will soon begin again.

In the second year of Tianqi, there were actually two martial arts exams, although the first one was a bit irregular, it was enough to surprise the world.

And this second subject was moved step by step, after passing the county and township examinations, the martial arts were selected.

That's right, all those who rushed to the capital to participate in the examination were born in martial arts.It's just that the Holy Majesty attached great importance to warriors, and increased the level of martial arts Jinshi, and, like Wenju, increased palace examinations, added biography and banquets.

Not only did the emperor attach importance to it, but the number of people participating in the martial arts examination also set a historical record.

The reason is very simple. Many martial arts students who have been awarded martial arts background also join the examination, trying to compete for a martial arts Jinshi background, or even a martial arts champion.

Although Zhu Youxiao didn't recognize the background of the students and officers who came out of martial arts, but the concept at the time dictated that having a background made him personally feel honored, and he also felt that he would be looked up to by others.

In fact, this is similar to later generations, holding a prestigious school diploma, proud, proud; if you take another postgraduate entrance examination, you will have a master's title, and you will feel better about yourself.

Such a situation was unexpected by Zhu Youxiao, but after consideration, he did not stop it.Since there is a desire to make progress, why bother to pour cold water on others?

Of course, some changes will be made in the test questions to ensure the greatest fairness.

In the restaurant, the trio of cowards gathered together again to clean up Zhang Zongbao, who had just returned from the Dongjiang Army, to join the battlefield observation group.

"The muskets were fired so fiercely that there was an uninterrupted feeling of taking turns in five rows." After drinking two glasses of wine, Zhang Zongbao blushed a little, gesticulating with his hands, and was telling his two brothers what he had seen on the battlefield.

Zhang Junneng nodded, and said: "You can see the clues during the training. If you shoot with guns, it is not easy for the infantry to rush to the front."

Fatty Zhao chewed the beef in his mouth, and asked a little vaguely: "What about Jiannu's double-layer heavy armor, can it withstand muskets?"

Zhang Zongbao took a sip of his wine and said slowly: "Why do you ask this layman? Whether you can penetrate armor or not depends on the distance and range. If you are far away, let alone heavy armor, you won't be hurt even if you are shirtless!"
