The Qing Dynasty Tartars were preparing for war, and the front line of Guanliao and Hong Chengchou were frightened.

Based on experience, Hong Chengchou judged that the Tatars' actions this time were unusual, and the scale of the troops was probably not smaller than the invasion in Chongzhen in the eleventh year.

Hong Chengchou had almost seen his cold body ravaged by the cold rain and wind.

Three years ago, Lu Xiangsheng was like this, and ten years ago, Yuan Chonghuan was even more miserable. Can he, Hong Chengchou, escape this disaster?

Of course, there was no shortage of elite combat soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately these forces were in the hands of Lin Chunhong, and the court could not help them serve the country.

Even if Lin Chunhong was not considered, the Ming Dynasty did not lack elite troops.

For example, during the 11th year of Chongzhen, the elite troops included the Tianxiong Army, Shaanxi Army, Hong Army, Guanliao Army, etc., with a total of more than 100,000. If the court commanded and dispatched properly and the united forces were united, they could also give the Tartars a devastating blow.

However, for some unexplainable reasons, the Tianxiong Army and Shaanxi soldiers were killed by the imperial court. The Guan Liao soldiers spent a lot of money and food, but stayed on the Guan Liao front line to protect themselves, and the efficiency ratio was extremely low.

Now, Yang Sichang has worked hard to re-establish the three legions of the Imperial Guard, Jingguo, and Jiliao. These three legions generally face the problem of insufficient combat experience and have never experienced the test of fierce battles. No one dares to guarantee whether they can stand up at that time.

Moreover, Hong Chengchou suspected that even if the three legions had extraordinary combat power, according to Zhou Yanru's current gameplay, they would be killed by death, just like the miserable fate of the Tianxiong Army and the Shaanxi Army.

For the country and oneself, Hong Chengchou must do everything possible to stop Zhou Yanru from making trouble.

Hong Chengchou wrote to the court over and over again, saying that the Tartars' actions were extraordinary and requested the court to transfer back to Jingguo, Ji and Liao armies as soon as possible to enrich the Ji and Liao defense line.

Just when Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to the public, the civilians in Tianjin were in chaos and the Jing camp was defeated by merchants. The court ordered the transfer back to the Ji Liao Legion.

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou was very happy. In his eyes, as long as the Ji Liao Legion arrives in Tianjin, the so-called merchant armed forces will be wiped out immediately. The Ji Liao Legion can point swords and guns at the upcoming Tartars.

However, as time went by, Hong Chengchou felt that something was getting worse and worse in Tianjin.

Since Wang Dajun arrived in Tianjin, he not only established a temporary committee to govern Tianjin, but also put forward clear political goals and demanded that the court agree to local reforms.

With the government and political goals, this is not a rebel in the general sense! Back then, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong made such a big fuss, and never reached the current height.

What's more, the merchants in Tianjin are preparing for war, relying on the strong financial strength of the merchants, and relying on the sea, the supply is almost unlimited. It is not easy to wipe out!

The most fatal thing is that Lin Chunhong's shadow appears and disappears!

Hong Chengchou determined that Tianjin's civil unrest can only be pacified, but not suppressed.

This is quite tricky.

After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou thought that Zhou Yanru was not trustworthy and had no ambition or wisdom to do big things. To change the current situation, he could only ask Lin Chunhong to take action.

He called his confidant Liu Zongdai, carefully ordered him to secretly go to Jingzhou to ask for Lin Chunhong.

Hong Chengchou sent people to contact Lin Chunhong, of course, his own Xiaojiujiu. He felt that Lin Chunhong would sooner or later control the Ming Dynasty, and it would be better to contact him earlier and become familiar with him.

After Liu Zongdai arrived in Jingzhou, he was told that Lin Chunhong had already gone to Yangzhou.

Liu Zongdai was shocked. As Hong Chengchou's confidant, Liu Zongdai knew many secrets. He immediately judged that Jingzhou might have a big move in the near future, and the target was either the Tartars or the court!

Liu Zongdai hurried to Yangzhou without stopping and met Lin Chunhong.

Liu Zongdai told Lin Chunhong that the signs of the Tartars' launch of troops were very obvious, and various intelligences showed that the scale of the troops sent this time was no less than that of the eleventh year of Chongzhen. In addition, Liu Zongdai also conveyed Hong Chengchou's intention, hoping that the court and Lin Chunhong would cooperate strategically to kill the Tartars's idea of ​​sending troops.

From Jingzhou to Yangzhou, Lin Chunhong was indeed preparing to do big things, and he was still a little nervous. When he saw Liu Zongdai and heard that Hong Chengchou wanted to work with him, he felt at ease.

Important officials like Hong Chengchou have turned around and the resistance to integrating into the court will be minimized.

Lin Chunhong was happy and said to Liu Zongdai: "Don't worry, the Tartars' movements are under control, and this time they will not let the Tartars have a good time."

Of course, this statement would not satisfy Liu Zongdai. Liu Zongdai tentatively said: "The Ji Liao line is short of troops, and the instability of Tianjin is involved in a large number of troops. It was precisely because the Tatars tried to raise troops when they saw this. I wonder what the Marquis had?"

Lin Chunhong said: "Tianjin cannot keep going like this. When I go back, I tell General Hong that Jingzhou will send the First Army of Xiongwei Army to Tianjin soon. Please don't worry about Tianjin by the Chief Supervisor."

Lin Chunhong told his calculations frankly, which surprised Liu Zongdai: The Jingzhou army was going north? It seems that the Marquis of Jiangling could not help but show up with the court in the end!

"This..." Liu Zongdai suddenly thought of a possibility and reminded him with kindness: "The Marquis sent troops to Tianjin, and the Tianjin Rebellion is naturally not worth worrying. However, should the time for the Marquis to send troops be considered again?"

Lin Chunhong replied: "My dear Lord Liu, I am grateful for the kindness of Lord Liu. Once the Tartars are at the city, they will inevitably suffer from the misfortune, and I am unbearable."

"The Marquis's benevolence, I admire him! But this move may not be good for the Marquis's reputation."

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "I have enough infamous reputation. What's the point of having one more?"

Liu Zongdai suddenly understood: As long as a strong man succeeds, he will always have a way to justify himself. He really won’t take his reputation seriously.

Seeing that Liu Zongdai was quite straightforward, Lin Chunhong was very happy and expressed his plan: "Tianjin Acropolis is too small and cannot accommodate too many troops. After the First Army of Xiongwei Legion went north to end the chaos in Tianjin, the first thing to do was to build a military camp. After that, the Second Army and the Third Army would go north one after another. In addition, the Shenwei Legion has been moved to Chengdu and Chongqing, and the Tiger Roaring Legion will leave Sichuan to Tianjin soon. If the two legions cannot stop the war, they can only let the Dragon and Tiger Legion go north again."

Liu Zongdai carefully analyzed Lin Chunhong's military deployment and suddenly discovered that there were no heavy cavalry inside, whether it was the Xiongwei Legion, the Tiger Roar, and the Dragon and Tiger Legion. Lin Chunhong's goal was obvious: to scare away the Tartars' soldiers without fighting without fighting, and then use force to control the surrounding areas of the capital.

Will the land of North China cause trouble? Liu Zongdai was unable to judge, so he had to say goodbye to Lin Chunhong and quickly return to Jiliao with great confusion.

On the eighth day of December 14th year of Chongzhen, the Marquis of Jiangling of the Ming Dynasty, the former governor of the Governor's Office, and the general of the thief to suppress the bandits, Lin Chunhong, published a signed article in the Yangzhou Times, telling the world that the Manchu Tatars were preparing for war, with Jierharang as the commander and Dorgon as the deputy commander, and brought more than 70,000 soldiers to the north of the Momo, trying to bypass Shanhaiguan to attack the Jiliao line.

In order to prevent the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the court should quickly transfer back to Jingguo, Ji and Liao armies to enrich the Ji and Liao defense line.

Jingzhou has already ordered the Jinwu Army to gather in Lushun and Fuzhou. Once the Tatars launch troops, the Jinwu Army will attack Gaizhou so that it will not dare to go south at will.

At the same time, the Wuwei Army will gather on the front line of Ulanqab and put pressure on the Tatars from the west.

In order to prevent the two armies of Xiongwei and Tiger Roar will soon head north and cooperate with the Ji Liao army to resist the invasion.

Regarding the situation in Tianjin, Lin Chunhong spoke for the first time: Tianjin's chaos is extremely unfavorable to the upcoming war. Although the merchants in Tianjin are excessive, they are in the Ming Dynasty and require that the court should adopt a pacification strategy within a reasonable range.

Local reform is beneficial to the court and the people in the world. The court should put local reform on the agenda with the people’s welfare as the concern.

...

As soon as this article was published, everyone in the world was shocked.

For the people of Shandong and Northern Zhili, the 12-year memory of Chongzhen was still vivid in the eleventh year. Now the Tartars are ready to move troops again, and they used 70,000 regular soldiers in one breath!

Back then, the Tartars sent only 50,000 soldiers to mess up the Northern Zhili and Shandong. Lin Chunhong mobilized more than 200,000 elite troops to wait for their work. During this period, he used countless strategies to drive the Tartars out of the pass. Now that the Tartars have added troops, is it enough to rely on such a few troops?

People were in panic, and Shandong and Northern Zhili were in panic.

As for Jingzhou, the bureaucrats of both sides of the court automatically ignored the threat from the Tartars and instead focused on Tianjin. Lin Chunhong made his first statement, and his intention to accuse the court was very obvious, and it was obviously arguing against him.

Where did the two legions of Xiongwei and Tiger Roar go north? Did they land in Tianjin? If this is true, Beijing is only more than 200 miles apart from the Jingzhou Army. What does this mean?

Moreover, Lin Chunhong openly asked the court to vigorously promote local reform. It seems that Lin Chunhong can't wait to enter the center.

There was panic in the court. The reason was naturally not because of the Tartars, but because of Lin Chunhong's attempt to send troops north.

Zhu Youjian was almost irritated and without waiting for discussion with his ministers, he issued an order, severely reprimanding Lin Chunhong for his ulterior motives and attempting to use the Tartars to invade the court.

Zhu Youjian was quite calm and did not call Lin Chunhong a rebel.

At the same time, Zhu Youjian urgently ordered Cao Bianjiao to attack Tianjin with all his might, trying to cut off Lin Chunhong's foothold in the north.

Cao Bianjiao had already arrived around Tianjin and surrounded Tianjin Acropolis, but he just did not attack the city.

The reason on the surface is naturally that there are too many artillery artillery in Tianjin Acropolis. If you attack rashly, you will suffer heavy losses. In fact, Cao Bianjiao received instructions from Hong Chengchou and surrounded him without attacking.

Now that the Emperor is cruel, Cao Bianjiao has to make the entire army clamor to advance and start attacking the city.

The siege was very turbulent, and the two sides were far apart and only used artillery to communicate. The cannons roared and smoke filled the city. As for casualties, it was minimal.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, they suddenly received an emergency military report: The Tartar vanguard Aobaiye had arrived at Xifengkou and was fighting with Bai Guangen's troops endlessly. Bai Guangen's troops were in short supply and was no longer supported.

Obviously, Huang Taiji's intelligence was a bit lagging behind, and it was not known that Lin Chunhong had announced his plan to send troops to the world.
