275 It seems to be settled
Those who dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately remembered that Fang Yizao had threatened just now that he would force the ancestral family to rebel. He couldn't help but think in his heart, could the emperor be an uncertain prophet, so he specially sent an angel over to say this? It is a bit ironic that the emperor sent Wu Sangui to arrest the rebel generals. If the ancestral family really wants to rebel, then what should Wu Sangui do?
Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Yizao and shouted coldly: "Aren't you on good terms with Zu Dashou?" Most of the people in his nephew's department are also members of the ancestral family, right? Then you will pass on these letters to them. ”
Hearing this, Fang Yizao came back to his senses, and seemed to be stable before saying: "As the governor of Liaodong, Xia Guan naturally wants to appease his generals and let them be loyal to the monarch and serve the country. ”
"What did the official say? Don't overthink it! When Sun Chuanting heard this, he said expressionlessly, "After you go, by the way, tell Zu Dashou that he has been in charge of Tuntian for so many years, and I hope he can give credit to himself, so that the past grain will be used for the military, otherwise when the official comes to the door in person, the past grain will also be counted!" ”
After listening to this holy decree, he felt more confident in his heart, and he did not hide his words, and explained the conditions directly.
Fang Yizao looked at the angel and found that the angel seemed to be watching a play, so he knew that the angel must be standing on Sun Chuanting's side, so he didn't say anything, let the guards take those packages, and said goodbye to the angel and left.
As soon as he left, the angel said to Sun Chuanting again: "The emperor has another explanation, saying that Jianyu has decided to send troops to Ningyuan, and I hope the governor will prepare early!" ”
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was taken aback: Jianyu has decided to send troops to Ningyuan, can the emperor know such news? How is this done?
He thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of it, but the emperor's warning, he couldn't but be cautious.
However, Sun Chuanting thought about it for a long time, but found that he couldn't effectively use the news. Because, there is no strong army in his hands! Now outside this pass, if you fight in the wild, the Ming army really can't beat Jianyu.
What is an ambush? That's not going to be possible. Jianyu's scouts are all released from afar, and all of them are veterans of war, and they will explore in advance places that may be suitable for ambushes.
Unless they hide the strong army in Jinzhou first, and when the soldiers and horses of Jianyu penetrate deep into Ningyuan, defeat their army monitoring Jinzhou, and then cut off their retreat, so that they will not have the opportunity to retreat to Liaodong and be trapped in this Ningjin corridor. In this way, you may be able to win the war.
However, the strongest army in the Guanning army was in the hands of Zu Dashou. For now, it is absolutely impossible for him to use his men and horses to spend with Jianyu. The most important thing is that even if he is willing, as far as his men and horses are concerned, they may not be able to beat Jianyu. Trapped in the Ningjin Corridor, the builder will jump over the wall in a hurry, and his combat power will be a little stronger than usual.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen has thought of this method. However, the strongest army in his hands is only three battalions.
If you really talk about the strength of the field and fight head-on with the Manchu army, he is still not optimistic that the three battalions can win. First, because many of the three battalions are recruits selected from the refugees, let them bully the Mongol Tartars and those thieves, and it is okay to fight a good battle, but if you really want to fight a hard battle, it is obviously impossible.
The second reason, even if all of them are veterans, they have just returned from the expedition and will drive to Liaodong without resting, which will have an impact on their strength. Originally, it would have been difficult to fight the Jianyu army, so it would be even more impossible to win. Unless the three battalions were rested, trained, and then equipped with ordnance and armor, and fully armed, then they might have the strength to block the retreat of the Manchu army.
Although he couldn't seize this opportunity, in the future, Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was still a chance, so he didn't think of the idea of trying the current three major battalions.
In the future, when the three battalions are almost trained, you can do this. In addition, if Dongjiang Town has been re-established, it can also harass them in the hinterland of Liaodong when Jianyu sends troops to Ningjin.
Besides, Sun Chuanting has been thinking about it for a long time, and there is no particularly effective way to use this news, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't need this news.
So, he ordered the Ningyuan regiment to train the general soldier Jin Guofeng and the Jinzhou general soldier Zu Dashou to change defenses, with Jin Guofeng stationed in Jinzhou and Zu Dashou stationed in Tashan.
The reason for this is because Tashan is the barrier of Jinzhou. If you want to take Jinzhou, it is best to take Tashan, otherwise it will be just across the retreat of Jianyu, and it will be very inconvenient to transport materials in the future, such as artillery gunpowder and food.
At the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when Huang Taiji led his troops to attack Dolgon in Jinzhou Ceying Pass, he attacked Tashan. It's just that this battle was not ideal, but it became the deputy chief soldier Jin Guofeng at that time, and finally promoted to the chief soldier of the Ningyuan regiment because he held Tashan.
Speaking of which, this Jin Guofeng is also a capable general, good at guarding. At that time, he only brought less than 3,000 people, and he defended Tower Hill. Of course, this is also related to Huang Taiji's failure to attack Tashan with all his might.
This is recorded in later generations, it is said that after Huang Taiji retreated, the Jianyu in Shenyang City learned that "most of the soldiers were defeated, and several generals were also killed, and the people walking the street were mostly panicked and unhappy, and in the distance outside the city, between the square songs, the crying was all over the sky", this is an exaggeration. But no matter what, it is indeed capable of holding Tower Hill with less than 3,000 people.
Now, if Jianyu wants to attack Ningyuan again, he must first attack Tashan. Let Zu Dashou lead the troops to garrison Tashan and show his banner, Sun Chuanting doubted that Jianyu would really continue to advance towards Ningyuan regardless of the rear?
If you can drag Jianyu to the side of Tashan, let there be less fighting on the Ningjin Corridor, which is also a good thing.
Of course, Sun Chuanting's purpose for letting them change their guards like this was not all to knock Zu Dashou. But the 3,000 troops under Jin Guofeng have already fought almost, although they were later replenished to 10,000, but they have no combat effectiveness. If he is allowed to continue to garrison Tashan, he will attack again so soon, and I am afraid that Tashan will be lost. Therefore, transferring Jin Guofeng to defend Jinzhou, with the cannons of Jiancheng, can make up for the shortcomings of his recruits.
In addition, Jin Guofeng is not Zu Dashou's person, he is an avant-garde person in Shanxi Xuanfu. It is also necessary to support the military strength of the ancestors and Wu families in the Guanning army.
Sun Chuanting didn't know that after he changed like this, he saved Jin Guofeng's life.
In the original history, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked Tashan again, although Jin Guofeng had more than 10,000 people, they did not dare to fight in the face of the outside captives. And if you only defend and don't attack, it will be a matter of time before the city falls. In desperation, Jin Guofeng took his two sons and dozens of men to attack him unprepared and sabotage Jianyu's intention to attack the city. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by Jianyu, and in the end, he and his two sons and his men were all killed.
A few days later, the military order of the garrison was mobilized, and the governor of Liaodong, Fang Yizao, arrived in Jinzhou.
Originally, Zu Dashou had already heard the news, and knew that Sun Chuanting, the governor of Jiliao, was going to take him under the knife and ask him to spit out all those tuntians, so he was already very unhappy, and he was ready to give Sun Chuanting a little color to see.
After receiving this order to transfer the military again, he immediately became angry.
Although Zu Dashou and Jin Guofeng are both general soldiers, his ancestor Dashou has been there many years ago, while Jin Guofeng is only a newly promoted general soldier. Garrisoning Jinzhou and garrisoning Tashan, needless to say, which errand is better, which general soldier has a higher status!
"Why do you want Jin Guofeng to press me?" Zu Dashou slapped the table angrily and yelled hatefully.
When his brother Zu Dale heard this, he immediately stood up and said to him: "I've said it all, just come as before, find an excuse to make a mutiny, and see what he Sun Chuanting will do?" ”
"Yes, even if you don't kill him, you have to humiliate him, it's better to let him be ashamed of himself, the kind that hangs himself!" Zu Dashou's other brother, Zu Dacheng, also said angrily.
“……”
Seeing that his brothers were shouting, Zu Dashou, who was angry at first, calmed down. He sat back in his seat, frowned, and said, "Mutiny, it's the easiest thing to say. However, now the imperial court has made up for the previous arrears; And what Sun Chuanting is doing now is also under the slogan of Qingtun to make money, which is to find food for the soldiers. In this way, this excuse for the mutiny will not work! ”
He didn't have a conscience to get over it at all, he just thought that if he did it, he couldn't leave a flaw. Therefore, he rejected his brother's proposal in this respect.
After thinking about it, he shook his head again and said, "If we want to make a mutiny that humiliates the governor, it is absolutely impossible to do ordinary things, and even if we want to do it, those soldiers will not follow." ”
If you want to do such a big thing, of course, you can't tell the whole world, but secretly encourage a few people to come forward and encourage others to mutiny. But as Zu Dashou said, unless you owe it for a long time like a salary, you will be hungry and will not be able to live, and the mutiny will be natural.
"What then? Otherwise, he will threaten him and force us to defect to Jianyu! Zu Dale was a little annoyed when he heard it, slapped the table, and said hatefully.
His proposal did not attract the support of the other brothers.
Therefore, none of them were willing to give up the power on Ning Jin's side, but they defected to Jianlu and found a new master. What they want is just to become another force between the independent Ming Dynasty and Jianyu.
There was silence in the back hall for a moment, and then Ancestor Dacheng said, "Is there no way?" It can't be what Sun Chuanting says, right? Are we really going to Tower Hill? Anyway, whoever wants to go, I'm not going! ”
"I'm not going either!" Zu Dabi, who had not spoken, also opened his mouth at this time to echo.
Zu Dashou looked at them, and suddenly sighed and said: "Sun Chuanting is the governor of Jiliao, we are just a mere martial artist, and it is not okay to confront him head-on." Now it seems that the only way to look for Lord Zhongcheng is to take a look. It's best to let the prison army, as well as the lords in the court, impeach Sun Chuanting and remove him, even if it is to transfer him away, we will be fine! ”
"Big brother, Gao Qiqian's eggless person, I don't know how to do it, it's very different from before, I remember that his relationship with Lord Zhongcheng was also very good. But now, he is talking to Sun Chuanting, and he will definitely not play impeachment. Zu Dacheng said helplessly.
After Gao Qi's reign was over, he took the initiative to hand over the dirty silver, which was pardoned by Emperor Chongzhen and sent him to Shanhaiguan to supervise the army.
If in the original history, he colluded with Yang Sichang and Fang Yizao to plot peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
However, in this position, he saw the emperor's methods in King Qin's war, and knew Sun Chuanting's weight in the emperor's heart, so he would embarrass Sun Chuanting for money or something when he was looking for death.
In this way, in the eyes of Zu Dashou and others, Gao Qiqian is to tie up Sun Chuanting and stand on Sun Chuanting's side.
Zu Dabi seemed to be a little calmer, and after thinking for a while, he said to Zu Dashou: "Then big brother, let's see how Lord Zhongcheng is doing?" If he can't stop Sun Chuanting's arrogance, he can also ask him by the way, after all, their civil officials like to fight back and forth the most, and they know what to do in the court, so they can let Sun Chuanting get out! ”
"That's all there is to it." Zu Dashou also sighed, nodded and said, "Go and contact Lord Zhongcheng immediately......"
Speaking of this, he paused, seemed to remember something, and said: "It's a pity that my nephew is not here, otherwise he would have gone and told Lord Zhongcheng that he was the most suitable person!" ”
The nephew he said was naturally Wu Sangui, who was a brother to Fang Yizao's son.
Zu Dacheng was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed and said: "It's a pity that the nephews are all on Jianyu's side, otherwise, it would be more suitable for them to go on our behalf!" ”
During the Battle of the Daling River, several of Zu Dashou's sons surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty with Zu Dashou. However, Zu Dashou then fled back, but his sons did not come back, and made a lot of contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including the original history of leading troops to open up territory for the Manchu Qing in the Guannei.
When Zu Dashou heard this, he was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a family member hurriedly come in from outside and say, "Lord Zhongcheng is here!" ”
As soon as they heard this, Zu Dashou and the others immediately stood up and glanced at each other, all feeling that Fang Yizao had suddenly come over, and it was related to what they were discussing. So, they immediately went out of the house to greet them.
It was indeed Fang Yizao who arrived, and he hadn't arrived so soon. It's just that on the way, he heard that Sun Chuanting had a new military order passed to Jinzhou, so he was a little worried, so he immediately hurried over.
Seeing his dusty appearance, Zu Dashou's heart tightened, knowing that there must be something important. So, they immediately asked Fang Yizao to speak in the back hall.
Fang Yizao nodded when he heard this, turned his head and instructed his personal guards: "Bring these packages!" ”
When Zu Dashou heard this, he turned his head and looked at it, he was a little puzzled, I don't know what Fang Yizao brought a few big packages over, and what he was going to bring to the back hall?
