Chapter 822. Extinguish the blindness in the coffin.

After the military meeting of the Mongol coalition army, Wang Quan left the tent and wanted to return to his tent to rest.
However, before Wang Quan had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard someone calling: "Mr. Wang, please stay!" ”
Wang Quan turned around to look, but saw Wang Ying walking briskly towards him.
Wang Quan hurriedly greeted him with a smile and asked, "I don't know what General Wang called me?" ”
Wang Ying walked up to Wang Quan and whispered, "I have something in my heart that I want to talk to Mr. Wang alone. ”
Seeing Wang Ying's mysterious attitude, Wang Quan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "General Wang has something to say, please speak!" ”
After Wang Ying was silent for a moment, he asked, "Has Mr. Wang considered our future future?" ”
"A way forward?" Wang Quan was stunned again, obviously not understanding what Wang Ying meant.
Wang Ying further explained: "I know that Mr. Wang defected to Bagen because he sent Zhao Junchen to destroy the Wang family, so Mr. Wang wanted to use the Mongols to avenge his people...... But has Mr. Wang ever thought about what people like us should do when this war is over? You and I have betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to continue to stay in the territory of the Ming Dynasty...... The most important thing is that when this war is over, the importance of you and me will be greatly reduced, and Bagen may not pay much attention to us...... Therefore, even if Mr. Wang is bent on revenge, he must think more about his future future. ”
Hearing Wang Ying's statement, Wang Quan was a little silent, and his expression was cloudy.
Wang Quan is not a stupid person, he naturally knows that his position is embarrassing and his prospects are unpredictable, but he used to want revenge, but he couldn't take care of these, and now after Wang Ying clarified this relationship, it was inevitable that a shadow appeared in his heart.
After being silent for a long time, Wang Quan said: "Now, I only want to avenge the Wang family, and as for what the future holds, I can only take one step at a time...... I think Bagan still keeps his promise, we have done so much for him, he probably won't abandon us! ”
Speaking of the back, Wang Quan is also a little lacking in confidence.
Wang Ying said: "Actually, I have some thoughts in my heart! ”
Wang Quan hurriedly asked: "If General Wang has a good way, please say it clearly!" ”
Wang Ying said in a low voice: "Actually, I have already inquired, the Dzungar Khanate now seems to be majestic, but in fact it is full of internal and external troubles, and their Great Khan Geldan is said to have taken away his brother's delirious throne!" In addition, the major tribes conquered by the Dzungar Khanate over the years will also rebel from time to time! ”
Hearing this, Wang Quan also lowered his voice and said, "I have also heard about this matter!" You can also see that although the Dzungar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes are now joining forces to deal with the Ming Dynasty, they do not deal with each other, and Sigmu has always been in trouble with Bagan! It is said that the Dzungar Khanate originally wanted to completely conquer the tribes of the Mongolian right-wing, but Geldan's elder brother suddenly led the army to rebel, so Geldan hurriedly returned to the Western Regions to sit in the town and handed over everything to Bagen. ”
Wang Ying nodded and said, "My idea is that now that we have completely taken refuge in Bagen, we can only go one way to the dark!" But if we want to gain a firm foothold in the Dzungar Khanate, we must have a certain strength! So...... The group of Ming prisoners under my command must not suffer too many casualties, nor can they be abandoned by Bagen at will! These captives are the capital in our hands, they are all Han Chinese, and they can only obey your and my orders, and after we go to the Western Regions with Bagen, with such a force, the confidence can be much more sufficient! ”
Hearing Wang Ying's statement, Wang Quan nodded slowly, obviously agreeing with Wang Ying's statement!
Wang Ying continued: "However, Bagen doesn't trust me, and I have repeatedly asked for it in the past few days, and Bagen has been annoyed by me...... But Bagan trusts Mr. Wang very much, and Bagen can listen to your words! Therefore, how we want to keep this batch of Han prisoners depends on Mr. Wang's methods! ”
Wang Quan's expression was a little solemn, and he said: "This matter is not trivial, Bagen may not listen to my ......"
Wang Ying said again: "Actually, I have another way, but Bagen doesn't believe me, and this method is not easy to say in public, it is best for Mr. Wang to secretly go and make suggestions to Bagen!" ”
Wang Quan was stunned again, and hurriedly asked, "General Wang still has a good way?" Say it! ”
Wang Ying said slowly: "Look at several Mongolian leaders under Bagen's tent, such as the Kazakh leader Abai. Haidar, Suhe, the leader of Zhuchagatai, and Amur, the leader of Yarkand, their tribes were all conquered by the Dzungar Khanate, but there would still be rebellions from time to time, but when the Dzungar Khanate attacked the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Bagen still trusted them very much, because after they were far away from their hometown, they were already rootless, so they could only obey Bagen's orders! ”
Wang Quan vaguely guessed Wang Ying's thoughts, and a trace of excitement appeared in his eyes: "General Wang means ......"
Wang Ying said: "I mean, Mr. Wang, you can make a suggestion to Bagan and let the Dzungar Khanate follow the methods of Genghis Khan!" Back then, Genghis Khan fought in the south and the north, and after conquering the Semu people, he let the Semu people attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and after conquering some Han people, he would drive these Han people to attack the territory of the Semu people! Now, the Dzungar Khanate can also do the same, after they captured the Han people, they took the Han captives to the Western Regions, so that the Han captives could deal with the rebellion in the Western Regions, and when they attacked the territory of the Han people, they let the armies of Kazakh, Zhuchagatai, and Yarkand rush to the front, so that they can be much more relaxed whether they maintain internal stability or external expansion, and can also make up for the lack of their own troops! ”
Wang Quan's eyes also lit up, and he said: "The most important thing is that after Bagen accepts this suggestion, he will not drive the Han captives to death at will, and even deliberately expand the number of Han captives, and these Han captives will only be handed over to you and me to command, after we have this force, we can also gain a firm foothold, and even have a status that is not inferior to the tribal leader!" ”
Wang Ying nodded and said, "Mr. Wang is really wise, he can understand it at one point!" That's what I mean! ”
Wang Quan was faintly excited, only felt that his future was already bright, and nodded again and again: "If this is the case, I am somewhat sure that I can convince Bagen!" ”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Wang Ying's eyes, but on the surface, he said solemnly: "Since this is the case, please leave everything to Mr. Wang!" ”
Bagen now trusts Wang Quan very much, and with Wang Quan's suggestion, Bagen may no longer force the Ming prisoners to die in the siege battle, and the Ming prisoners can also ensure a part of the living force.
Then, when it comes to the critical moment, these Ming prisoners can play their role!
*
At this time, in the territory of Hanzhong Mansion east of Gongchang Mansion, a large Ming Dynasty army was marching in the direction of Gongchang Mansion overnight!
The strength of this army is as high as more than 50,000, vast and boundless, and it is divided into three parts: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army.
Most of the former army troops were border army officers and soldiers from Guyuan Military Town, who were familiar with the environment of Gongchang Mansion and were responsible for leading the way at the forefront; The rear army is composed of the elite and logistics teams of the forbidden army, the largest and the largest number of troops, but the marching speed is slightly slower, so it is delayed last; As for the Chinese army, it is naturally the new army of soldiers formed by Zhao Junchen!
During this period of time, under the encouragement of Zhao Junchen's various policies, the morale of the new army was originally high and the fighting spirit was strong, even if they were going to fight hard with the Mongolian coalition army soon, the soldiers of the new army were not afraid!
In fact, the morale of the new army at this time is much stronger than usual!
Because, this time, Zhao Junchen decided to personally lead the troops to fight!
Now, in the Chinese army, Zhao Junchen is sitting on a coffin, hurrying with the soldiers of the new army!
You read that right, Zhao Junchen did not ride in a sedan chair, nor in a carriage, nor on a war horse this time, but rode a coffin and was carried by eight strong soldiers!
Obviously, Zhao Junchen imitated Zuo Zongtang's method of "carrying the coffin into Xinjiang" at the end of the Qing Dynasty, so as to show that he had put aside life and death in this war and wanted to live and die with all the soldiers!
Zuo Zongtang is "carrying the coffin into Xinjiang", and Zhao Junchen is "taking the coffin to destroy Mongolia"!
It's just that Zhao Junchen is even more radical than Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Zongtang is also riding a horse, the coffin just follows behind the horse, and Zhao Junchen is directly riding on the coffin, without any evasion at all!
After the army set off from Haiyuan City, Zhao Junchen didn't say anything, but ordered someone to carry out the coffin, and then sat cross-legged on the coffin and walked with the army, but everyone saw Zhao Junchen's thoughts and intentions!
In this way, not to mention the new army of soldiers of Zhao Junchen's lineage, even the soldiers of the Guyuan Border Army and the Forbidden Army were also demoralized because of this, and everyone admired Zhao Junchen's determination!
But for Zhao Junchen, in addition to boosting morale, his "coffin to destroy Meng" is just a show!
If he can successfully encircle and suppress the Mongol coalition army, it will be a miracle, but Zhao Junchen still feels that he is still insufficient, thinking that this can only prove that his military strategy is good, but it lacks some drama, which is not enough to make the world talk about it, and it is not enough to completely reverse his reputation!
That's why Zhao Junchen created such a show as "Destroying Mongolia by Coffin"!
People in the world are so strange, they always subconsciously deny the complexity of human nature, they think that good people must be pure and flawless, and bad people must be bad everywhere!
Before that, Zhao Junchen in their eyes was a big corrupt official, so they thought that Zhao Junchen must be useless and without merit, and completely did not recognize Zhao Junchen's hard work in maintaining the treasury money and grain!
But if Zhao Junchen successfully exterminated the Mongol coalition army, the deeds of "destroying Mongolia by coffin" would spread, and everyone would have such an idea - how could such an official who gave up his life and death for the people of the country be a corrupt official? Such an official must be an upright and virtuous minister!
There is no logic in this idea, but it is in the hearts of the vast majority of people!
Therefore, with such a show, it will not only completely reverse Zhao Junchen's reputation, but even become an important political capital for Zhao Junchen, clearing all obstacles for Zhao Junchen's next development in the temple!
However, the premise of all this is that Zhao Junchen's plan is smooth and can wipe out all the Mongol coalition forces that invaded the territory!
Otherwise, Zhao Junchen's current show is just a joke.
……
PS: Looking at the comment area, Zhao Junchen learned from Zuo Zongtang to carry the coffin to the battlefield, and the plot was guessed in advance by the one-horned sea cucumber bread cat classmate...... For the author, it is a very embarrassing thing to be guessed by the reader in advance, but the worm hesitated, but still wrote it out, and wrote it according to the original idea - as mentioned in this article, carrying the coffin to the battlefield is not only a show, but also Zhao Junchen's political capital in the future, and it is a key step for Zhao Junchen to reverse his reputation.
