Chapter four hundred and eighty-eighth discussion on the island
When they met on the first day of the New Year, the two sides were at odds. However, after Lin Chunhong said haha, Shen Shikui suffered a secret loss, but he had to go down and laughed: "Brother Lin is right, brother, how can he pay so much attention?"
The two of them exchanged a few greetings and said some scenes. Shen Shikui said goodbye and left, and Lin Chunhong entered the Jinwu Army camp.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Lin Chunhong rode a war horse full of black. As soon as he stepped into the camp, the etiquette soldiers lit the cannons and set off three cannons in succession. The sound of the cannons stopped, and the etiquette soldiers raised the three-foot-long horns, bulged their cheeks, and made a sound of "Woo...woo...woo..."
The ox horn was long, and Lin Chunhong grabbed the reins of the horse, straightened his chest and abdomen, and sat straight on the horse. After a while, the ox horn rested, and asked the drummer to pick up the drumsticks and beat the war drum.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The frequency of the drum beats is not high, which is similar to the frequency of walking on weekdays. Lin Chunhong raised the reins slightly, and the dark horse stepped on the drum beats, step by step towards the soldiers standing upright.
"salute!"
When Lin Chunhong walked to the soldiers, the whistle commanders shouted loudly, and the soldiers moved one after another, and they knew that they had undergone strict training at a glance. The spearmen held guns in their left hand and placed their right hand in front of their chests. The muskets had already been bayonetized. After receiving the order, they held the muskets tightly in their hands and stood them upright on their chests.
The sword and shield hands had nothing to do, but could only look at Lin Chunhong, and their heads slowly turned until Lin Chunhong disappeared from sight.
When Lin Chunhong walked to the reading stand, he jumped off the horse and handed the reins to Yu Ze. He surrounded by a group of senior generals, he climbed onto the reading stand.
After a necessary etiquette, when it was Lin Chunhong's turn to speak, the soldiers under the stage, led by the officers, burst into violent shouts: "Governor... Governor... Governor..."
The spear tip and the musket bayonet tip keep rising and falling, reflecting dazzling cold light, making people excited.
Lin Chunhong stepped forward, put his right hand on his chest, and saluted the soldiers. The cheers from the audience became even more intense. As a last resort, Lin Chunhong pressed down with both hands and signaled the soldiers to be quiet.
On the field, it gradually became quiet. Lin Chunhong shouted at the top of his voice: "Thank you for your hard work, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army! You are the warriors of the Ming Dynasty and the warriors of the Han people. You use your courage and blood to tell the Tartars: The Han people are full of blood and will never tolerate foreigners..."
Speaking of excitement, another burst of fanatical cheers from the field forced Lin Chunhong to pause, with a smile on his face, and looked at the soldiers affectionately.
After some scenes, Lin Chunhong recounted his family affairs with the soldiers of the Jinwu Army: "... The father of this governor, who fought in Liaodong during the Wanli period, was from Tieling, Liaodong. He was considered half a Liaodong person. His governor's heart was always connected to Liaodong..."
These words undoubtedly narrowed the distance between Lin Chunhong and his soldiers. Most of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army came from the Liaodong Peninsula, or had lived in Liaodong for several years. After hearing that Lin Chunhong's mother was from Liaodong, they were all excited and their chests kept rising and falling.
"The Jinwu Army was formed on Pi Island, with the purpose of regaining Liaodong and avenging the compatriots who died under the Jurchen Tatar sword! In the future, more soldiers will fight with you, ambitions to eat the meat of the barbarians in hunger, laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns, and finally attack Huanglong, so that the Jurchen Tatars will pay the blood debt of blood!"
"Blood debt and blood payment...Blood debt and blood payment..."
...
After the ceremony of the Great Reading, Lin Chunhong immediately summoned Zheng Fulin, Zhou Linlao, Chen Huan, Wang Dagui and Dou Shiwen in the central army tent and said bluntly: "The Tartars will soon be divided into two routes, one route will be the commander of Yuetuo, and choose Qingshan Pass in Qian'an County as the breakthrough point; one route will be the commander of Dorgon, and directly attack Miyun!"
Zhou Linlao and Wang Dagui had already heard the news and their faces were calm. However, it was the first time that Zheng Fulin and others could not help but be shocked, and they were furious for a moment and were full of grudges.
Zheng Fulin slapped the table with a palm and said furiously: "The dogs and Tartars are too bullying, and they are so bold!"
Dou Shiwen even jumped up and shouted: "The Ji Liao defense line of the imperial court is like paper. Now, the people near the capital are going to suffer again... Governor, take advantage of the Tartars' forces to move south, we will land in large quantities and force the Tartars to return!"
Lin Chunhong waved his hand and said, "This time he went south, the Tartars brought more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and more than 20,000 Han troops. Except for the second year of Chongzhen, the troops were the most powerful. The elite troops of the Ming border were all concentrated in Guanning and Xuanda, and the elites in the mainland, such as Hong Bing and Sun Chuanting's Shaanxi soldiers, were far away in Guanzhong. Therefore, the Ming army was probably unable to resist the Tartars' going south! This governor estimated that the surrounding areas of the capital might not be able to satisfy the Tartars' appetite this time, and they might even rob the south to Shandong!"
Chen Huan said anxiously: "Governor, has the court ever known? The military situation is urgent, so we must inform the court immediately and let the court gather heavy troops to resist the invasion of the Tartars!"
Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "It's useless. Xuanda, Guanning elites cannot be used easily. Shaanxi soldiers are busy suppressing bandits, and they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. How can they arrive around the capital in time without two months? So, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are no soldiers to be sent except the Jingzhou army!"
As Dou Shiwen listened, his blood surged, and he didn't care about the etiquette before the coach, stood up suddenly and said viciously: "It can be considered that he has found a chance to fight the Tartars! This time, you must kill them happily. You must use your blood to make the Tartars understand: Those who violate the strong Han Dynasty in a wise way will be punished even if they are far away!"
Dou Shiwen dug a mine for several months and has already tempered his mind and nature to be very different from the past. But now when he hears the opportunity to fight, he can't help but make an old problem. When it comes to wind, it's rain.
On the contrary, Zheng Fulin calmed down from the initial shock and asked: "Governor, soldiers are major issues of the country, and they are related to the life and death of Jingzhou. They should be treated with caution. Jingzhou has a subtle relationship with the court, and willful advance troops will probably arouse the court's doubts!"
Lin Chunhong nodded and said, "The Muslims of the Pavilion Gu's rank also think so. This governor estimates that Huang Taiji does not lack food. The population he plundered last year has not been completely digested yet. He actually sent a large army to plunder the capital, and there may be a consideration of killing three birds with one stone. Among them, Jingzhou was also regarded as a bird by Huang Taiji!"
As he said that, Lin Chunhong pointed to the location of Yangzhou on the map and said, "Originally, this time I came to the north and planned to build Jeju Island into our stronghold in the north. Then see if there is any chance to find a chance to start in North Korea and use North Korea as a springboard to insert the back of the Tartars. However, when we arrived in Yangzhou, we received news of the Tartars invasion. It seems that the original plan has to be delayed. The most important thing at present is to deal with the Tartars invasion!"
"In the Wuchang Prefecture, this governor has ordered the Southeast War Zone to be prepared. Once the imperial court issues a decree to serve the king, Tian Chuyun can lead an army of 50,000 along the canal to arrive near the capital within half a month!"
When Dou Shiwen heard this, he shouted: "This delayed time, when the army arrived around the capital, the Tartars might run away! From my perspective, I don't have to pay attention to the fact that there would be no imperial edict and let the commander Tian enter the army directly!"
Lin Chunhong's face darkened and rebuked: "Nonsense! The 50,000 troops are advancing, how could the court ignore it? If the court misunderstood and withdraw all the troops from the Ji Liao defense line to the south, wouldn't the Tartars be in a long journey without any obstacles?"
Dou Shiwen was very upset and said with hatred: "It's not a good time to fight a war!"
Lin Chunhong said: "There is no time to fight. You don't have to worry about the Southeast War Zone and the Central Plains War Zone. How to use troops depends on the situation. However, this time, the Jinwu Army and the First Army of the Dragon and Tiger Legion can give it a try and fight with joy! You must first find a way to control Pi Island in your hands, and then land on the Liaodong Peninsula in large quantities to attract the attention of the Tartars as much as possible and kill the Qing Tartars in large quantities!"
When the generals heard this, they were all shocked. Even Dou Shiwen was stunned, his eyes full of incredible.
Zheng Fulin finally recovered from the shock and hesitated: "Governor, Shen Shikui has been in Dongjiang for more than ten years, and his power is deeply rooted, and he has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. Once the swords and weapons are facing each other, even if he can win after the war, how can he have the energy to land in Liaodong?"
Lin Chunhong said coldly: "I am planning to cooperate with the Dongjiang army to advance to Liaodong this time. But today, Shen Shikui is quite resentful towards our Jingzhou army. Once the army lands in Liaodong, the island is empty, and it is difficult to ensure that Shen Shikui will not have any unfavorable intentions! If this is true, everything will be over. The rear is unstable, how can we fight?"
"Pi Island is a small land, and it is not worth much, but we currently have no foothold near Liaodong, so we have to make it. Once we have Dengzhou or North Korea in our hands, Pi Island is not even worthless!"
Zheng Fulin said: "Although that being said, it is really difficult to digest more than 10,000 soldiers in a short period of time!"
Lin Chunhong sneered: "It's okay! It's natural to have a bad plan to face each other. This governor once heard that the morale of Pidao's military is unstable, and Shen Shikui's uncle and nephew cannot win the morale of the military. He must start from here to achieve the effect of defeating others without fighting!"
When Zheng Fulin heard the morale of the army, he understood Lin Chunhong's plan. He finally felt a little clear-headed and said, "You have to make a good plan for this matter. If you don't do it well, you will lose a lot of rice!"
Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "That's natural! Put on the map of the island!"
...
After some discussion, Lin Chunhong finally ordered: "I am on the island, which is inconvenient. I will take this policy after I leave for a few days!"
After saying that, Lin Chunhong ordered: "From today, the First Army of the Dragon and Tiger Legion will be temporarily included in the Zheng command sequence and will be unified in command by Zheng!"
Wang Dagui still had that cold face and shouted: "I will accept the order!"
Lin Chunhong turned to Zhou Linlao and said, "Before the Tartars retreated, the northbound fleets were all under Zheng's command."
Zhou Linlao also shouted: "I will receive the order."
Lin Chunhong nodded with satisfaction and said to Zheng Fulin: "The Tartars' invasion will never be able to retreat in a short period of time, so there is no need to rush to land on the Liaodong Peninsula. It is not too late to use troops after rectifying the Dongjiang Army and completely eliminating hidden dangers!"
After saying that, Lin Chunhong glanced at the generals with a sharp look and shouted sternly: "The Liaodong confrontation is probably a head-on battle. The losses of soldiers and military supplies must be large. The loss of the losses will be made up for the number of losses. However, if anyone is afraid of the enemy and fights, it will ruin the reputation of the Jingzhou army, don't blame me for taking mercy!"
