Two flowers bloom, one on each side.狏
For the rest of this month, the situation in North Korea was constantly changing, and the border with Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away, was also very unstable.
Ningyuan City, the isolated city outside Daming Pass at this time, was also the forefront of resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This place had never been peaceful, not before, and even more so now.
After Zu Dashou took control of Ningyuan, he worked hard to build fortifications in preparation for the recovery of Jinzhou.
But Dorgon, who avoided internal strife in Jinzhou, would not let him go smoothly. The two sides sent detectives to each other, harassed them, and chased and intercepted them within hundreds of miles between the two cities, which lasted for more than a year. It doesn't stop, and the conflict becomes more and more intense, and the war is about to break out.
At this time, Chang Yu, the governor of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty, arrived in Ningyuan, and the border became even more unstable.
Why do you say that?
The government and the public have said that wherever the great eunuch goes, there will be nothing but chaos!狏
The implication is that any place with this kind of thing will be in chaos, let alone a place that is already in a mess, not to mention that he is here to cause trouble.
There was chaos outside the pass, and Ningyuan was even more chaotic. The most chaotic place in Ningyuan was the Tashan Fort at the forefront. It was said that people died there every day, and there were no less than ten frictions every day. It was the place where the most intense friction between the Ming and Qing armies occurred.
Many people knew that the great eunuch had arrived in Ningyuan, even Dorgon knew about it.
So everyone thought that the great eunuch would go to Tashan Castle immediately after arriving in Ningyuan because he likes adventure, excitement, and the smell of blood. However, everyone guessed wrong. He has been in Ningyuan for more than half a month, and he lives in a shallow place. Out, beyond everyone's expectations.
Could it be that he is afraid?
The word fear does not exist in Chang Yu's dictionary.
He's observing his words and expressions
What is the most important thing on the front line, military morale!
Inspect fortifications and observe military morale
The foundation of the Ningyuan garrison was the all-powerful Guan Ning cavalry, and it was also the only Guan Ning cavalry. It was originally in the hands of Wu Sangui, but later Wu Sangui was deceived into the pass by Chang Yu, and Zu Dashou took over the military power of Ningyuan.
One year has passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, although there were Jin Yiwei in Ningyuan paying attention to every move of Zu Dashou and others, Chang Yu never had any instructions on them. Zu Dashou had absolute rights in Ningyuan.
So when Chang Yu came to Ningyuan this time, he wanted to test and see what Zu Dashou was capable of.
Another point is that Zu Dashou did not come back alone at that time, but also had a large family of his. Some of these people had been in the Qing court for several years. The possibility of being brainwashed cannot be ruled out, and these people are now He served as a general in Guan Ning's army, ranging from high-level to mid-level.
If these people have been brainwashed but serve as officers in the Guan Ning Army, it will have a certain impact on the morale of the military. Therefore, Chang Yu needs to find out whether the morale of the military has been affected. This is the key point.狏
So for more than half a month, he has been staying in Ningyuan City to inspect the city fortifications, summoning some officers to discuss business matters or chatting about home affairs. He also often goes to the military camp or to some sentries to chat with the soldiers. These things happen almost every day. The soldiers in the city once Having participated in the Ningyuan War with him, I admired him very much. Now I feel more and more that he is approachable and has no airs of a high official. He even calls the soldiers brothers, so the soldiers are willing to chat with him about anything.
It didn't take long for the eunuch to become good buddies with many soldiers. He also got to know the situation, and he admired Zu Dashou more and more. At least Zu Dashou was very strict in terms of emotional intelligence.
Why do you say that?
According to Chang Yu's personal investigation for more than half a month, he did not find any lack of morale among the soldiers, nor did he find any officers brainwashing them. He even heard that Zu Dashou once scolded one of his nephews. Matters concerning the Tatars are not allowed to be mentioned in the army...
Zu Dashou may also know that the eunuch will first take the basic test when he comes to Ningyuan, so in order to avoid suspicion, he stayed in Tashan Castle without coming to see Chang Yu even if he knew that Chang Yu arrived in Ningyuan. For most of the month, Ma Ke accompanied Chang Yu.
Speaking of accompanying him, it was the only few times he went hunting in the countryside. Most of the time, Ma Ke was busy with his own affairs, training troops and surveying the terrain. Occasionally, he would drink some wine with Chang Yu at night to chat about the situation.
So even though the eunuch has been here in Ningyuan for more than half a month, Ningyuan is not chaotic at all. At least there is no chaos in Ningyuan City. If you have to say chaos, it is Tu Yuan and his gang who are fighting every day, but these belong to them. A private fight with Ning Yuan's army.狏
Private fights are prohibited in the army but fighting is encouraged. Soldiers must be bloody and have a temper. What they want is to fight if they don't accept it. They will not accept it even if they lose. They will bring out what kind of soldiers they will be. Dongchang Wei's Soldiers have this kind of urine. Coincidentally, there are many soldiers with this kind of urine in the Ningyuan Army, and the Dongchang Guards are stationed in the military camp, so this kind of friction is inevitable, so they started to fight.
This is a fair fight, no group fights, no weapons, no one should show off their status to overwhelm others, just punch to the bone, if you lose, you won't be convinced, the next one...
So after fighting, from soldiers to generals, Tu Yuan and Ji Jike and Zu Dashou's nephews all started fighting, but they couldn't resist Tu Yuan and Ji Jike because they were too brave and really unbeatable, so Ning Yuan's army He was not convinced, but admired him very much. In just half a month, Dongchang Guards had made a name for himself, which made Ningyuan Army sigh with emotion. Thinking back to the Ningyuan War, he still didn't think Dongchang Guards were so awesome. How come he was so good? In just two years, he has been completely transformed!
But Chang Yu never stopped this kind of thing. Sometimes he would go out and have a few fights in person when he got tired of it. Every time, thousands of troops would leave the camp. Who the hell had ever seen such a great eunuch of Dongchang? No one would come over to see him. A real one.
At first, when some people saw him winning several games in a row, they thought that Tuo had let him win on purpose. After all, he was the eunuch of Dongchang. Then they were unconvinced and wanted to challenge him, but...
Only then did we know that the great eunuch's reputation for bravery was not just blown away, but he was really capable.
Not only is he capable, but all the people under him are also capable. Not to mention the brave generals like Tu Yuan and Ji Jike who can be defeated by thousands of people, but the most eye-catching one is actually the monk under the great eunuch, who is dressed in all his clothes. He has copper tendons and iron bones, and you can break your own bones if you hit him... It's quite scary, and the bald donkey is also very aggressive, which makes people angry and helpless.狏
Of course, this kind of chaos is not called chaos, it is called lively, and it has become a fixed program. There are battles and competitions every day, and mutual victory has become the most talked about program among soldiers every day.
However, this little peace was quickly broken by a piece of news.
The grain truck was ambushed!
Tashan Fort is located in the north of Ningyuan City, nearly a hundred miles away. There is a mountain range in the middle. It is the same mountain range where Chang Yu ambushed the vanguard of the Qing army during the last battle of Ningyuan. The Ming army's grain truck was ambushed here.
Originally, there were only a hundred troops stationed in Tashan Fort. However, as the situation became more tense and the fortifications were gradually improved, the number of troops began to increase, from more than a hundred to hundreds, and now it is nearly two thousand. The demand for supplies is also increasing, and Tashan Fort The fort's supplies naturally come from Ningyuan City, and they need to be replenished almost every half month. Because the supply direction is in the rear and escorted by soldiers and horses, although there have been occasional encounters with Tatar horse exploration, it has always been safe and without any trouble.
But I never thought that I would be ambushed by the Tatars this time!
The Tatars actually bypassed Tashan Fort and ambushed the supply team under the nose of Ningyuan City, killing more than 60 Ming troops and burning more than ten taels of grain trucks!狏
This is more than just provocation!
It’s not that the tentacles are too long.
But the other party is already extremely vicious and uses all possible means, which also shows that the situation has reached a fever pitch!
In the evening, after Chang Yu heard the news, he said to Ma Ke: "There is a bit of chaos ahead, and the governor has to go take a look."
Marco sighed and nodded. He knew that it would be okay if the eunuch didn't look at it, but it would be even more confusing when he looked at it!
