The Jinzhou Camp in Liaodong Town is located at the junction of the West Road Defense Zone and the Middle Road Defense Zone in Liaodong Town. It has always been personally commanded by the general soldier of Liaodong Town and is the base camp of Liaodong Town.
During He Yu's tenure as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, in order to better control the various defense areas, most of the food and salary materials in Liaodong Town were hoarded in the Jinzhou Camp. When Wu Yingxiong led his army to rush north for reinforcements, it was indeed necessary to A big shot with enough weight personally sat in Jinzhou Camp, allocated military supplies for Jinzhou Camp, and provided logistical supplies for the reinforcements.
In Zhao Junchen's original plan, this task should be handed over to the governor of Liaodong, Wang Shizhen, while he would accompany the army to the north to help, taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and gain greater benefits, and even wait for the opportunity to unite with Liaodong Town to oust Wu Yingxiong in one fell swoop.
But Zhao Junchen still underestimated Wu Yingxiong after all, and he never expected that Wu Yingxiong would suddenly declare that he would take full responsibility for the logistics supply task.
For a moment, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but frown.
Jinzhou Camp is too far away from Shenyang and Fushun, which completely cuts off Zhao Junchen's opportunity to intervene in the situation and fish in troubled waters.
After seeing the change in Zhao Junchen's expression, Wu Yingxiong became more sincere and a little aggressive, and asked: "Zhao Junchen, you don't want to see the frontline soldiers fighting against the Jianzhou Jurchens when the logistics are unstable. Bar?"
As Wu Yingxiong's words fell, Wu Shilin, Wu Yinglin and others also brought a group of supporters of the Wu family in Shanhaiguan. After standing up, they "pleaded" in unison: "I also hope that Minister Zhao will obey his authority in an urgent matter, put the overall situation first, and help me and others on the front line." Soldiers stabilize logistics!"
After seeing this scene, many people in the camp were moved in their hearts.
When the two armies are fighting, logistics supplies have always been the top priority, which is directly related to the outcome of the battlefield. Zhao Junchen has been in charge of the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs all year round, and is best at the methods of money and grain turnover and material allocation. If Zhao Junchen is allowed to take charge personally Logistics matters are undoubtedly guaranteed and worry-free.
At the same time, once the Jinzhou Camp receives the news of He Yu's death, it will inevitably fall into chaos. With Zhao Junchen's status, he has the best chance to stabilize the chaotic situation in the Jinzhou Camp and make the logistics supply problem smoother. Affected.
Therefore, under the leadership of the Wu family in Shanhaiguan, many people came forward one after another to express the same attitude. They all hoped that Zhao Junchen could go to Jinzhou Camp in person to take charge of logistics matters. It was widely expected.
But Zhao Junchen's expression became increasingly ugly.
At this time, Zhao Junchen had already figured out Wu Yingxiong's real plan.
In Wu Yingxiong's view, Ximen Sheng was already under his own house arrest, and the other generals in Liaodong Town were short-sighted and fearless. Therefore, he only needed to further eliminate Zhao Junchen, the biggest variable, and the Wu family in Shanhaiguan would have a higher chance of winning. Liaodong Town can be annexed smoothly.
For this reason, it is undoubtedly the best choice to arrange for Zhao Junchen to go to Jinzhou Camp to take charge of logistics matters.
In this way, Zhao Junchen and the senior officials of Liaodong Town will be separated and unable to continue to exert influence on Liaodong Town. Maybe as long as they wait patiently for a period of time, the generals of Liaodong Town will spontaneously fight among themselves, fall apart, and resist the Wu family in Shanhaiguan. The will and determination will also be significantly weakened.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen personally took charge of logistics matters, so Zhao Junchen had to bear the relevant responsibilities. He was not as careless as Liaodong Town when doing things, so he did not dare to easily reduce the military supplies of Guanning Cavalry under Wu Yingxiong. , which also resolved to a certain extent Liaodong Town’s plan to restrict the logistics supply of Guanning Cavalry.
More importantly, once Zhao Junchen is asked to personally take charge of logistics supplies, it is equivalent to forcing Zhao Junchen to step down personally and move from behind the scenes to the stage. He can no longer hide in the shadows and fish in troubled waters - you know, Jinzhou There is also a military eunuch arranged by Emperor Deqing over at the camp. He will definitely be watching Zhao Junchen's every move!
In short, this arrangement is Wu Yingxiong's strategy of killing three birds with one stone. It can not only eliminate the huge variable Zhao Junchen, but also stabilize the logistics supply of his Guan Ning cavalry. It can also prevent Zhao Junchen from hiding in secret. It’s simply a huge benefit with no harm at all!
Zhao Junchen was naturally unwilling to let Wu Yingxiong succeed.
However, because Wu Yingxiong deliberately guided the situation, this request was not only well-founded, but also a public request. It also moved out of national justice and turned into a situation that was favored by the public. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for Zhao Junchen to refuse.
At the same time, on the surface, Wu Yingxiong’s approach can be regarded as a sign of “sincerity”.
Arrange for Zhao Junchen to go to the Jinzhou camp and let Zhao Junchen be responsible for logistics under the supervision of the eunuchs. After the war is over, Zhao Junchen will not only be able to maintain harvests despite droughts and floods and gain military merit, but he will also not trigger Emperor Deqing's anger. Suspicion, if Zhao Junchen really has no greater ambitions, this arrangement is the best choice, so Zhao Junchen can't even accuse Wu Yingxiong of being unkind!
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but be in a dilemma, so he turned his attention to the generals of Liaodong Town.
Under the current circumstances, only the statements of the generals of Liaodong Town can break the situation.
Either Xu He suddenly changed his rhetoric and said that Liaodong Town has enough ability to provide stable logistics for the reinforcements, so there is no need for Zhao Junchen to go to the Jinzhou camp in person; or someone among the generals in Liaodong Town stepped forward. He volunteered and expressed his willingness to go to Jinzhou Camp to take charge of logistics supplies in place of Zhao Junchen.
However, when Zhao Junchen glanced over, all the generals in Liaodong Town lowered their heads and remained silent. No one was willing to take the initiative to help Zhao Junchen resolve the current problem.
Obviously, the generals in Liaodong Town still hope that they can use the means of restricting logistical supplies to blackmail Wu Yingxiong, and no one is willing to go to Jinzhou Camp and miss out on the subsequent distribution of benefits.
Zhao Junchen sighed secretly, knowing that he should not have had illusions about these short-sighted people from the beginning.
Zhao Junchen's influence on Liaodong Town is still too weak after all. Unless the situation is at a stalemate, or Zhao Junchen can provide more benefits, it is impossible to interfere with the decisions of the generals in Liaodong Town.
Finally, under the attention of everyone in the tent, Zhao Junchen pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Since everyone hopes that I will go to Jinzhou Camp to take charge of logistics and supplies, and it is also related to the important matters of border defense of the imperial court, I Of course, the pavilion has its unshirkable responsibility, but..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen also put forward his own conditions, saying: "I am not familiar with the situation in Liaodong, so I hope that the Governor of Liaodong, Mr. Wang, can accompany me to Jinzhou Camp and assist me in handling logistics matters."
Wu Yingxiong hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Of course!"
After Zhao Junchen goes to the Jinzhou Camp, he will be monitored by the eunuchs, so Wu Yingxiong is not afraid that Zhao Junchen will make more troubles.
Later, Zhao Junchen said: "At the same time, I also hope that Governor Wu, General Xu, and the generals of Liaodong Town will jointly sign a warrant and hand it over to us, so that we can more easily stabilize Jinzhou City." The chaotic situation in the camp... Of course, out of consideration for avoiding suspicion, if I have to use this warrant in the future, I will also seek the consent of the eunuch overseeing the army of Jinzhou Camp, and will never easily interfere in the military affairs of Jinzhou Camp!"
