Chapter 196 I go all the way, you come all the way

After agreement, Yang Hao decided to concentrate in Liaoyang.

After the order was issued, the troops aided Liao from within the pass to Shanhaiguan were immediately heading to Liaoyang.

The first person to arrive in Liaoyang was Du Song, the new general of Shanhaiguan. As soon as he arrived in Liaoyang, Du Song told his left and right that this time he came to wash away the shame of ten years.

It was originally ten years ago that Du Song had replaced Li Chengliang to guard Liaodong, but the battle was unfavorable. Du Song was furious and ordered all his food and grass to burn, but was sentenced to prison.

While in prison, Du Song woke up and felt ashamed of his arbitrary behavior. He destroyed his armor several times, claiming to cut off his hair and become a monk.

At that time, the court officials all regretted Du Song's courage, but because Du Song's character was no one to speak for him, he was abandoned after being released from prison.

In the 43rd year of Wanli, the Mongolians entrenched in Hetao invaded the mainland in a large number of ways. Du Song was re-activated as a deputy general and led the light cavalry to rush the fire and fell into the Chi Camp, killing more than 200 enemies.

But this person has a really irritable temper and cannot get along with his subordinates or make friends with his superiors, so he was abandoned.

This time, Du Song was officially launched and took over as the General of Shanhaiguan, so Du Song had the idea of ​​being ashamed of being cleansed.

Du Song had more than 20,000 officers and soldiers including Wang Xuan's army, Zhao Menglin, Liu Yujie, and Gong Niansui, along the way.

According to the court rules, all troops must have the position of supervising the military. When Yang Hao and Ji Liao Governor Wang Ke were discussed with the candidates for military supervision by Du Songlu, Liaodong Governor Zhou Yongchun recommended one person to them.

This person is the one who guards Zhou Tiexin, Dongning Road, Liaohai.

Zhou Yongchun's opinion was that Zhou Tiexin was an official in Liao for many years and was familiar with Liao affairs. He also participated in the war between the emperor's personal army against Jiannu in Yizhou last year, which was quite a contribution.

"Mr. Zhou did not receive a clear order from the court and his personal army took action without authorization. The Ministry of War did not reiterate his merits. I think it was disappointing. This time, he would be the supervisor of Du Song's army to make new contributions."

Yang Hao agreed with Zhou Yongchun's opinion, not because he gave the new Liao Fu a lot of face, but because Zhou Tiexin was also the person recommended by his student Wei Liangchen.

In a secret letter to the teacher, Wei said that there were several officials from Liaodong available, one was Zhou Tiexin, the second was the Ningqian army's preparatory Ma Xiangde, the third was the Yizhou general He Shiyi, and the fourth was the guerrilla Shang Xueli and his son Shang Kexing.

In addition, Yang Hao's former generals Shang Bozhi, Wang Weidong and others. These people are now gathering in Liaoyang and are always sent to the Lord Hou to be sent.

In addition, Xu Xianchun, a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, had arrived in Liaoyang and obeyed Yang Hao's tent. Jiang Fangyin, formerly Yang Hao's aide and now the general affairs officer of Pidao, is also vigorously reorganizing the Pidao garrison and allocating food and grass for the old master to dispatch at any time.

Wei Liangchen's deployment on Pi Island and Yizhou in Liaodong was entrusted to Yang Hao, and Chen Mo from the capital provided Yang Hao with 130,000 taels of silver as military pay.

Wei Liangchen himself also led his army from Japan to return to China through North Korea. As a student, he did his best to revive Liao from Dongshan.

Students are like this, and teachers should be self-definitely, so Yang Hao obeys all the people mentioned by Wei Liangchen.

Yang Hao has been studying the specific strategy for attacking Jiannu for more than two years. As early as more than two years ago, Yang Hao had already decided on the strategy of sending troops from the terrain area, which was also recognized by student Wei Liangchen.

On the topographic map drawn by Wei Liangchen's mission to Jianzhou and his later secret missions, there were 100 miles around Heituara, and the unique rock texture of Liaodong along the way caused the ground to be covered with gravel along the way, and there was no possibility of joining troops to roll forward in one place, so he could only split the troops and attack together.

In the secret letter, Wei Liangchen repeatedly mentioned the place name Sarhu to Yang Hao, hoping that Yang Hao could set the gathering place of the two troops in Sarhu instead of Heituala when planning a division of troops.

And I hope that Yang Hao can leave some spare time for each department on the date of the dispatch, either set out in advance or postpone the departure, and establish a fast and effective channel between each department to maintain the contact between each department.

"Especially, there must be mistakes in flood prevention roads, and the Jurchens use the mark of our army in detail."

Because he was afraid that Yang Hao would not pay attention to the problem of the flood road, Wei Liangchen specifically asked Xu Xianchun to go to his tent to help coordinate the establishment.

Yang Hao can listen carefully to this.

After all, this Liaodong Strait, who was the third comeback, did not want such a big battle to pacify Liao to make mistakes in his hands.

Although Wang Keshou was the governor of Ji Liao, the battle to aid Liao was entirely dominated by Yang Hao. He, the governor, was responsible for the logistics of the logistics of the logistics of the supplies, so he had no objection to the candidates for military supervision.

At this moment, Zhou Tiexin was decided to serve as the supervisor of Du Song's army, while Du Song's army rushed from Liaoyang to Chenyang, then went out of Fushun Pass, along the right bank of the Hun River (north bank), into the Suksuhu River Valley, and attacked Heituara from the west.

After Du Song's tribe, the Malin tribe, which first arrived at Shanhaiguan, also arrived in Liaoyang.

The troops had more than 20,000 officers and soldiers including Kaiyuan's deputy general, and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, including Zheng Guoliang, and Ge Shifeng, who were the former guerrillas.

Yang Hao appointed Pan Zongyan, the Kaiyuan Army, as the supervisor of the army, and Dong Erli, the governor of Xiuyan, as Zanli. He ordered the Marin troops to leave from Qing'an Fort, go to Kaiyuan and Tieling, and attack Heituara from the north.

The third person of Li Rubai arrived. His troops led more than 20,000 officers and soldiers including He Shixian, Deputy General General of Liaoyang, Zhang Yingchang, and Guerrilla You Shigong.

With Ningqian troops, Ma Xiangde, as the supervisor, he exited Yajuan Pass from Jinghe and attacked Heituara from the south.

The last journey was Liu Jingmen.

Liu's troops led more than 10,000 officers and soldiers including Zu Tianding, Nanjing's Sixth Camp, Yao Guofu, Shandong's Ministry of Management, Zhou Wen, Zhejiang's army, Zhou Yiming and other officers and soldiers, and Kang Yinggan, deputy envoy of Haigai army, was the military supervisor, and Huang Zongzhou, the co-magistrate, was the praising.

Among the four armies, Liu Ji's troops had the least number. In order to strengthen Liu Ji's troops, Yang Hao ordered Jinzhou guerrilla Shang Xueli to bring more than 1,500 Jinzhou soldiers and more than 2,600 soldiers from Pidao East Village to be transferred to Liu Ji's command.

When Wang Ke asked where the troops came from Pi Island and why the leader was a Japanese from the East Village, Yang Hao smiled and said to him that this troops were controlled by his student Wei Liangchen, and were under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Inner Court, so it was not organized in Liaodong.

Wang Keshou seemed to understand but not understand. Later, the imperial court issued an edict to order the governor of the maritime eunuch Wei Liangchen to be the eunuch of Liaodong. After asking again, Wang Keshou found out who Wei Liangchen was.

At the same time, news came from North Korea that Marshal Jiang Hongli and Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui led 13,000 troops, and were controlled by the eunuch Wei Liangchen, the governor of Liaodong, crossed the Yalu River from Yizhou, North Korea to attack Jianzhou.

There was also news from Ye He's troops that would send thousands of troops to assist the Ming army in attacking the flanks of Jianzhou.

The four armies, including North Korea, Ye He, and the Imperial Army who had fought with Jiannu, were assisted by the Liaoyang army. The whole country and the Liaoyang were full of confidence in this war.

Even so, Yang Hao did not dare to take it lightly. Liaoyang and Guangning were the fundamental important towns in Liaodong. He sent former former general Shang Bozhi to lead troops to guard Liaoyang; and also sent former general Wang Weidong to guard Guangning to prevent Mongolian troops.

After everything was ready, Yang Hao submitted a memorial to "capture slaves and rewards", and was reported by Huang Jiashan, Minister of War, and Emperor Wanli, and was approved by the emperor, and was issued to the world.

The reward rules: Those who capture and behead Nurhaci are rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and those who are promoted to the commander-in-chief;

Those who captured and killed the eight major belorates in Jianzhou were rewarded with two thousand taels of silver and promoted to commander;

For example, if rebel generals such as Li Yongfang and Tong Yangxing can capture Xiannuerhaci, they can avoid death.

He also ordered Yehebeibulebuyangguruo and others to capture and kill Nurhaci, and to give Jianzhou imperial edict and grant him the title of General Longhu, the second rank of the scattered rank.

If the other twelve relatives, uncles, brothers and nephews of Nurhaci, as well as the army, vanguard, the leader of the army, and the trusted persons who lead troops, they will be rewarded and awarded the title of the vassal.

At the same time, news came from North Korea that the newly appointed eunuch of Liaodong, Wei Liangchen, told the Ming army that he did not ask about the official ranks, but those who captured Nurhaci would be rewarded with an additional 50,000 taels. Those who captured his sons, nephews and brothers would be rewarded with 10,000 taels. Those who captured the leader would be rewarded with 5,000 taels.

He also reported to the Jianzhou tribes, and those who were in front of the battle would make great contributions, pardon their past, rewarded tens of thousands of taels of silver, and awarded the title of "Hero of the Ming Dynasty".

We also told the people of Liaodong that they did not care about their origins or their clans. However, those who helped the Ming army to suppress the rebels and those who were given the heads of Jiannu would be given gold and silver.

He also told the coalition departments that in this case, the stones must be cut by swords, the thatch must be fired, and the thieves must be replaced.

After the court learned that the four armies had gathered in Liaoyang, Yang Hao had formulated a specific combat plan and issued a military reward quota, the Ministry of Revenue proposed that if the army delayed for too long, the meeting would be held.

Grand Secretary Fang Congzhe also considered that the national finance could not bear the long-term battle, so he wrote a book to urge Yang Hao to start his army as soon as possible.

"I will destroy the enemy and settle the border, and this will be the first to take action."

The seriously ill Emperor Wanli also sent an oral order to Yang Hao.

Zhao Xingbang, the chief minister of the Ministry of War, repeatedly urged Yang Hao to go out immediately in the name of the Ministry of War.

Therefore, Yang Hao had to change his previous combat plan and led all generals to worship the earth. However, when slaughtering cattle and horses, the slaughter knife was not sharp. It was cut three times in a row before the trachea was cut off, which made the officers and soldiers very disappointed.

On the eve of his departure, another secret letter from North Korea arrived. After Yang Hao received the letter, he sent one of the Jurchen soldiers from the army to Jianzhou to issue a letter of war the next day.

Zhan Shu said that the army dispatched 470,000 to advance in different directions, and met with Heituara on March 15th.

This move confused the army. Yang Hao claimed that this was a sign of Jiannu, which made them afraid to go out everywhere and be trapped in Heituara and wait for death.

When there was no one, Yang Hao and his aide Jiang Fangyin said: "The Qing Dynasty asked me to do this seemingly foolish thing. Can Nuerhaci be fooled?"

Jiang Fangyin said: "Don't worry that Nurhaci will not be deceived. There are only 70,000 or 80,000 people from other troops. I will tell him to march in four directions. In order to break the siege of Heituara, he will have to take his main force to attack me. The so-called "I go to the four directions, and he will come all the way. However, Nurhaci does not know that there is still one way outside my four directions. If he leaves the nest, my fifth direction will go straight to Huanglong. If Jianzhou is completely lost, Nurhaci will leave but never return."

"I hope the Qing Dynasty can live up to expectations, otherwise, I, Yang Hao, will become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty for the eternal period!"

Yang Hao sighed lightly, but there was a noise from soldiers outside. When he came out of the house, he saw heavy snow falling from the sky.
