Upon hearing that the enemy was approaching, the generals in the fort mobilized their troops to assemble, and even sent additional detective horses out of the city to detect the enemy's movements.
In the command room, Chang Yu was deep in thought while holding a teacup. Only Li Muchian and Wang Zhengnan were sitting in the corner silently. Kuang Ren was walking around anxiously outside the door. Fan Seng was puzzled: "What are you so anxious about?" "
"The Tatar army is pressing down on the border. There are only about ten thousand soldiers and horses in our fort. We can only defend it. The reinforcements will be passive every day." Kuang Ren stamped his feet anxiously: "General Zu knows that the situation here is urgent, how can he still do this?" . "It's enough to be defensive. Let's close the door and watch how those bastards fight." Fan Seng looked indifferent, and Kuang Ren was so angry that he cursed: "You know what the heck, once we are besieged, we will be even more passive." , and not
He said that Lord Governor's strategy this time is to strike first and then retreat... Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, I'm telling you why, you know nothing..."
"Dorgon struck first. This is a glimpse into our family's thoughts." Inside the room, Chang Yu took a sip of tea and put it down gently. He glanced at Li Muchian, who had narrowed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows in the corner: "If he takes the initiative, how can we break the situation?"
"If reinforcements from General Ancestor arrive today, we can hold off the enemy to the north. Even if we cannot take the lead, we will not be too passive. If reinforcements do not arrive today, we may be besieged and become passive." Li Muxian was stunned. lift. "Then our trench digging was in vain." Chang Yu smiled faintly, and Li Muchian snorted: "It's not in vain. We can still stop him." He took a long breath and said, "It's just... I'm just saying this as an afterthought." What shouldn’t be said…
"
Chang Yu interrupted him: "Don't you want to say that our trench was not dug in the right place?"
Li Muxian nodded: "Back then, they used this method to divide us and defeat us one by one. Now the Governor wants to retaliate with others in his own way. It should be dug between Songshan and Jinzhou."
Chang Yu smiled: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Because Pindao knows that Obai in Songshan City and Dorgon in Jinzhou City will not stand by and let us dig, and we don't have that much force to surround them." They have different times and different situations. If we are here,
Tens of thousands of troops first surrounded Songshan and then dug trenches, which was natural."
Chang Yu chuckled: "The Taoist priest said some nonsense that shouldn't be said."
Li Muxian smiled bitterly: "I know that the purpose of this trench is not to follow the gourd but actually to draw a line. In addition to resisting the enemy, it also has the meaning of a bottom line." "The line has been drawn and the people are here. Let's see if we can hold it." Chang Yu sighed and stretched. Wang Zhengnan, who had been silent, couldn't help it anymore: "Master Governor, we have been planning for so long. The first mover is Forget it like this? Wouldn’t that be
Fell into passivity? "The situation is changing rapidly, and strategies and tactics must also be changed randomly. Since people see through our intentions, we have no choice but to take advantage of our tactics." Chang Yu let out a laugh, stood up, walked to the sand table and stared at it for a long time: "Do you know the biggest thing in this battle?"
Where are the variables and crises? "
"Ningyuan" Wang Zhengnan blurted out without thinking: "I'm afraid the Tatars will pretend to besiege Tashan Fort to lure our reinforcements, and then go back to attack Ningyuan!"
Chang Yu extended his thumb, gave him a thumbs up, and then said loudly to the door: "Kang Ren, now you know why General Zu is working hard in Ningyuan."
Kuang Ren pushed open the door and scratched his head in embarrassment: "A layman with a humble job, just listen to the excitement..."
"Then come in and listen," Chang Yu said casually, and Kuang Ren walked in with a groan. Monk behind him muttered: "Master monk, listen too..." He was about to get in, but Kuang Ren kicked him in the back and rolled away. Calf.
Fanseng couldn't avoid it and was kicked to the ground, and he suddenly became angry: "You're so damn meow..." Before he could finish his words, he was restrained by Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan: "Hey, Brother Kuang can't speak well, so he can't..." …”
Chang Yu ignored the commotion outside and turned to ask Wang Zhengnan: "Which way will the enemy take if they attack Ningyuan in a roundabout way?" Wang Zhengnan walked to the sand table and stared at it for a while: "There are two ways, one is along the east coast, but there is no road there. It is easy to be exposed if there is no cover. The other way is to go to the mountains to the west. However, there are no roads and snow in the mountains and it is difficult to travel. If you want to take the main road,
If we go further west, I'm afraid there won't be enough time."
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "The soldiers act in deceitful ways. The more impossible a place is, the more likely it is that the enemy will take advantage of it. Our family is usually the best at this, but Dorgon will surprise us, so we have to be on guard." .
"As long as we don't give him a chance to set fire in our backyard, Dorgon can only fight us head-on, and then he has to rely on his true ability!" Li Muxian also came over.
"What the Taoist said is absolutely true." Chang Yu smiled faintly: "But if we do it head-on, from the Taoist's point of view, who will win this battle?" "Fifty-five" Li Muchian said without thinking: "In terms of military strength and geographical advantage, Tatar He had the advantage, but he suffered a big loss mentally." Seeing Wang Zhengnan's puzzled face, Li Muchian quickly explained: "This battle is related to the national destiny of the Tatars, and he dare not
If you are careless and careful everywhere, you will be restrained everywhere. To put it bluntly, you cannot let go. On the other hand, although we have few soldiers and horses, we are better than others. Moreover, with the governor personally taking charge, our morale will be boosted and we can fight one against ten." "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your advice." Wang Zhengnan He arched his hands and said: "The Tatars are in trouble both internally and externally. North Korea is turning their backs on the outside, Duduo is imprisoned, and Hauge and others are pressing down on him inside. He feels like he is being roasted on a fire and is in urgent need of a fight. Victory in the battle to save the situation. This battle is extremely important to him. If he wins, many problems will be solved easily. But if he loses, his life will be a complete mess. Not only will he lose power in the government, but the Tatar country will no longer be able to win. Also powerless to deal with
Resist us! "Yes, yes." Li Muxian stroked his palms and said with joy: "On the other hand, if we take ten thousand steps back, even if we lose this battle, we can still retreat to Ningyuan City, but we will only lose a Tashan Fort. At most..." As he said this, Look at Chang
Yu: "At most, Lord Du Gong and General Nazu will suffer more from the spitting stars." Chang Yu smiled, shook his head and smiled: "Do you know what paper talk means? You two are so pissed off right now. A battle related to the destiny of the country is so easy for you to say. Also, if we lose in this battle, Yes, you think it’s just
Is it a matter of being spit on a few times?"
Li Muchian and Wang Zhengnan couldn't help but blush. "Our family is thick-skinned and doesn't care about the Tumo Star. However, if we lose this battle, we will not only face the Tumo Star. There will also be many shocks that you can't imagine. Our family is favored by the Emperor. If we fail, we will not be trampled under his feet."
, but General Zu is in danger." Chang Yu sighed, and his expression gradually became serious: "This is what our family least wants to see. If he loses, the sign of the last general family in the Ming Dynasty will be gone! "
What is a general?
Not only the family of a certain general can be called a general, but it specifically refers to a family that has three generations of generals, many members of the family have joined the army and have great military exploits, compared to the generals of the Yang family in the Song Dynasty!
This kind of general is usually a noble who is stationed at the border to guard the country and is favored by the emperor.
Why the emperor likes to use generals to guard borders? To put it simply, it is because when one is prosperous, everyone will be prosperous, and when one is destroyed, they will be destroyed. A single general guarding the border may surrender or defect due to interests or circumstances, but generals from general families usually defend the city to the death, because behind them are the glory of the entire family and hundreds of families.
life!
The Ming Dynasty also had generals. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were many general families, but they were gradually eliminated by the years, and the old ones were replaced by new ones.
Zu Dashou is also a general family, and his ancestors have guarded the border for several generations. Chang Yu said that he is the last general family in the Ming Dynasty, which is actually not accurate, because there is also the Mu family in Yunnan, which is a family with hundreds of years of history.
But to be precise, the Mu family belongs to the same noble family and is not an ordinary general. In addition to the Mu family in Yunnan, the only real generals in the Ming Dynasty are the ancestral family, including Wu Sangui, who all belong to the ancestral family line. Generals like Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Ma Ke, etc., at most, can be counted as warlords.
Not from a family of generals.
The most famous general before the ancestors was Dongli Xima.
Li is a family general headed by Li Chengliang, Li Rubai, Li Rusong and his son, who is located in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. Nurhachi was a wild boar skin under his command! Ma, that is, the northwest frontier defense force headed by Ma Lu, Ma Jin, Ma Gui and his son. There are more than 30 generals in the family, and they have high official positions. The Ma family has guarded several border passes for generations and participated in the late Ming Dynasty. The three famous battles are
, the Battle of Ningxia, the Battle of Boshu and the Battle of Korea. Yes, I also fought against the Japanese and beat Toyotomi Hideyoshi until he screamed "Dad!" However, as the years passed and dynasties changed, although these two generals cannot be said to have disappeared in smoke, However, it has also slowly withdrawn from the stage of history from the highlight moment. After that, the Li family has almost no one on the stage. The Ma family now
There is only one clan member serving as deputy general in Jizhen.
After decades of glory, the ancestors of late-stage talents eventually came to a miserable end.
Fortunately, Chang Yu replaced the person again.
Do you think he just changed into a different person?
No, what he got back was a family of generals, a door god who guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty!
Again, to guard the border, a family of generals must be reliable.
Having said this, can you already understand why Zu Dashou pretended to surrender repeatedly and ran back from there with the doves of Huang Taiji in mind? Was it just loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor?
I'm afraid it's not just that.
Because in addition to his loyalty to the court, he also has more considerations, that is, the glory earned by a profession for generations, and the lives of hundreds of people by a profession!
One will be prosperous, one will be destroyed.
When Chang Yu exchanged Zu Dashou back, there were many complaints in the court.
When Chang Yu helped Zu Dashou to ask for money, food and equipment, there were many blames in the court.
Zu Dashou kept silent, immersed himself in the border for more than a year, and turned a deaf ear to the scoldings from the court, all in order to regain Jinzhou. His original intention was to fight steadily and make progress step by step.
But I don’t know what happened, but the big eunuch came here for a walk and disrupted the rhythm. The two sides immediately started to fight, and they were going to fight hard!
This is Zu Dashou's first battle after his return. If he wins, all the doubts and scoldings will disappear, and his family can once again become the gatekeeper of the border.
If you lose...
From a young age, I would say that I was making all sorts of sarcastic remarks.
To put it more seriously, it means being held accountable...
But no matter whether it is going big or small, as long as it fails, the ancestral family will never stand up again, and it will never be able to regain its former glory and glory.
And it will also implicate Chang Yu.
Although Chang Yu doesn't care and is not afraid, he is rarely attacked by political opponents. Therefore, no matter how difficult this battle is, we must win it, not for anything else but to preserve the plaque of our ancestral family as a general family!
