"Everyone, we are facing a huge enemy. It doesn't matter who is the coach. The key is to win the battle!"
"Personal honor and disgrace are nothing. The most important thing is the meaning of this battle. Isn't it the meaning of you and me to join the army to destroy the slaves?"
"I don't care what little calculations you are making, but I am warning you that if you dare to slip up at this time, don't blame me for cleaning up the house myself!"
"They are all dispersed. According to the established deployment, we will patrol along the Liao River to find out the movements of the slaves and be on guard against active attacks by the slaves!"
After Yuan Chonghuan said this, he waved his hand, picked up the already cold tea and took a sip gently.
When the generals saw this, they wanted to say something but they all shut up. They knew this Lord Manager too well.
Looking at the backs of the departing generals, Yuan Chonghuan put the tea cup on the table and suddenly sighed: I hope the emperor will not completely liquidate it!
On the other side, on the big rock on the beach of Pi Island, Mao Wenlong and other Dongjiang generals gathered together, all with serious faces.
"Father, the imperial edict is very clear that the establishment of slaves must be eradicated. Are you shouting slogans to inspire people, or are you really preparing for a fight to the death?"
"Father, in the Battle of Sarhu, all the elites controlled by the imperial court were lost. Although the emperor made great efforts to govern and rectify his armaments after he ascended the throne, the time was too short.
Although the emperor controlled some elites, the number was too small after all. The three parties of Jiannu, Mongolian tribes, and Fusang combined at least 300,000, mostly cavalry. Will this follow the path of Sarhu? "
"Yes, do we want to retain our strength in the war?"
"Uncles, I think everyone is going in the wrong direction!"
Mao Yongxi (Shang Kexi), who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up and said with a serious face: "Uncles, think about it, the emperor has been on the throne for two years, does he have the bearing of a wise king?"
"Think about it again, are Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong, Han Huang, Li Banghua, Bi Ziyan and others in the court capable ministers and officials?"
Everyone in the lobby looked solemn.
Two years have passed since the Battle of Longjing Pass, and some details of that year have been revealed. The emperor guessed that Jiannu was going to attack, and arranged two large armies to lurk in advance to block the intersection. This incident even caused the cabinet ministers Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong and others to attack. Don't even know.
This shows that the emperor's palace is deep, and it can also be seen that the emperor knows some art of war.
The battle on the grassland, the submission of Tumut, etc. can all show the emperor's magnanimity, and he can listen to the advice of his ministers.
Without Sun Chengzong, there would be no Guanning Defense Line, and without Yuan Keli, there would be no Dongjiang Town. Both of these two people are knowledgeable about military matters. How would they not advise the emperor when they were not sure?
"Uncles, now that the time has come, we can only absolutely obey the military orders and fight wherever they are ordered. Only in this way can we not be liquidated after the war."
"How do you know you won't be liquidated?"
"Based on this statement, if we have 30,000 more slaves and more troops, we will definitely be able to win? If the emperor lacks 30,000 of us, then he can't mobilize another 30,000 or 100,000?
The emperor may liquidate, but our lives will definitely not be in danger. The most likely thing is to give us a fortune so that we can go back and retire!
Although we are ashamed of the imperial court, it is enough for the hundreds of thousands of people in Dongjiang! "
Shang Kexi looked at Mao Wenlong, who was standing with his hands behind his back and facing the sea: "Grandpa, since the slave attack on North Korea last year, we have been working hard to prove ourselves. We have never been ambiguous in fighting.
Now it’s the last moment, we must not waver from the previous direction, otherwise we will really be completely liquidated! "
Mao Wenlong didn't speak, but took a few steps forward, squatted on a rock and stretched out his hand to touch the cold sea water, and his heart became cold.
After a while, Mao Wenlong turned around and looked at everyone, and said in a low voice: "Yongxi's analysis is very reasonable. I have been in the army for 25 years since I participated in the martial arts examination in the 33rd year of Wanli.
After going through hundreds of battles, big and small, with victories and defeats, Liaodong can be said to have fulfilled me, but it also made me fall.
I am fifty-four years old this year. I have been in the army for decades. My body is seriously injured and I don’t think I will live for many more years. What will happen to you after my death?
Based on your daily behavior, as long as the censor impeaches you, you will never be able to escape. In this case, we can only fight to the death.
After the overthrow of Jiannu, if the emperor settles accounts, I will shoulder the responsibility and find a place for you. Although you will no longer be powerful, there will be no problem in spending the rest of your life in prosperity.
Don't go to the dark side on the same road, prepare for the war with peace of mind, maybe if you make great achievements again, the emperor can forget it? "
Mao Wenlong's voice was very calm, but there was a sense of desolation in everyone's ears.
But we have to analyze that what Mao Wendong said is correct.
But they also doubt whether Mao Wenlong can help them deal with the emperor.
"I have a strong premonition that perhaps this time the imperial court goes north to pursue Jiannu, it can really completely destroy Jiannu. If you join Jiannu now, you will definitely kill the Nine Tribes and leave you with eternal infamy. You will stay in the army and fight to the death." Fighting is the right thing to do,
We have no choice. I said I can protect you, so I will definitely protect you. Go get ready. I will stay alone for a while! "
…
At the same time, in the palace of the city lord of Yizhou City on the Yalu River hundreds of miles away from Pi Island, Huang Taiji, Masayuki Hoshina, Munomi Yagyu, Tulu Baihu Khan of the Mongolian tribes and others were sitting around.
Huang Taiji placed Bei Tuo Jiannu's memorandum on the table: "Everyone has read this memorandum. Ming's attitude is already very clear, but we don't need to be afraid.
With the defense of the three rivers of Liaohe, Hunhe and Taizihe, even if they can penetrate the three lines of defense, they will lose at least 30% to 50%, and it will take at least two or three months. The longer they defend, the more beneficial it is to us.
We are fighting on the mainland, and we can supply everything we need in time. However, the Ming army's three to five million soldiers need a lot of food, horses and chews every day, and they all have to be transported from Beijing.
With a supply line of 1,500 miles, problems can occur at any time, and this is our opportunity. "
"But they have a lot of firearms, tanks, etc.!"
"Without the Hongyi cannon, can the range of firearms reach across the Liao River? If deployed more than a hundred meters away from the shore, their firearms are just decorations;
To take a step back, even if they put in the effort to bring 10 or 20 red barbarian cannons, we will continue to provoke and wait for the red barbarian cannons to explode.
Taking a step back, even if they attack across the Liaohe River regardless of the cost, we can use the fire bull charge to break through their chariot battle formation and firearms position, and the cavalry will follow closely to kill them. We can also use chariots and carriages to fight against them. firearms,
Firearms are powerful, but as long as the formation is broken up, the cavalry will only be massacred. As long as they dare to cross the river, we can kill as many as they come. "
Facing Huang Taiji's passionate tactical explanation, except for Yagyu Munenuri who listened with gusto, others such as Hoshina Masayuki, Tulu Baihuhan and others were uninterested.
After hearing the last thing, Yagyu Munomi thought for a while and said with a serious face: "Tian Conghan, you have said so much and you can't verify it now! I just ask you, how confident are you that the Ming Dynasty is coming with such force?"
