Entering the governor's yamen, Hong Chengchou found that in addition to Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, all the chief officers of the border army and the commanders of the Yulin battalion guards were here, and many officials from the governor's yamen were also here.

There will not be too many people participating in the discussion, after all, it is March, according to the time planned by Chen Xinjia, the attack will start in May, and there are about two months to go, of course, this attack time, there are even fewer people who know the way, all of them are counted, and there are no more than ten people.

Because it is to discuss the matter of the Golden Tartar after the attack, the governor's yamen is heavily guarded, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, and it is impossible for ordinary people to approach, Liaodong as a military important place, after Chen Xinjia arrived here, he strengthened the management of the governor's yamen and the military camp, which is also to prevent the occurrence of leaks.

After all the participants in this meeting arrived, Chen Xinjiaken was about to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we will focus on discussing the matter of the Golden Tartars after the attack, and the relevant preparations, this official and Lord Qian, Lord Hong, and Gonggong Qin have already discussed, and today's focus is on the implementation of the task, and the official hopes that after all the matters are decided today, you will all do it according to the requirements, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise the official will not be polite."

"The emperor's holy decree, you all know, the Houjin Tartars are rampant, not only rebellion, but also the establishment of the so-called Qing Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty to fight against the court, such heinous acts, must be dealt with severely, now my Liaodong soldiers, high morale, looking forward to the extermination of the Houjin Tartars, you are all important officials in Liaodong, vital officers, to maintain the morale of the sergeants, is your responsibility. Morale is the greatest guarantee for the victory of our Ming army. ”

"There are no rules, you can't make a circle, today you all gathered together to discuss the matter of the Golden Tartar after the attack, that is, to unify your understanding, according to the requirements to do things, we must not live up to the emperor's trust. It is extremely necessary to strike hard at the Houjin Tartars, and finally exterminate the Houjin Tartars. ”

After saying these words, Chen Xinjia looked at everyone, and everyone's expressions were very serious.

This meeting, on the surface, was to discuss how to attack, how to deploy and other matters, but in fact, Chen Xinjia directly made the arrangement, and everyone carried out it according to this arrangement, such a major matter. It is definitely unrealistic for so many people to participate in the discussion, besides, Chen Xinjia is the governor of Liaodong, so he needs to make decisions directly and make decisions directly.

Everyone also understands this truth, including Qian Qianyi and Hong Chengchou, and they will not raise any objections.

Chen Xinjia began to deploy the task. First of all, it is a request to prepare grain and grass and other matters, these things. Qian Qianyi is responsible for the specifics, and the responsibility is mainly on the governor's yamen, which is also the result of previous discussions, and Hong Chengchou did not feel anything strange.

Next, Chen Xinjia began to arrange the troops to participate in this attack, which is also the most critical. The army in Liaodong is divided into three parts, the border army, the Yulin battalion and the Jiangning battalion, so the relevant combat missions need to be made specific deployments.

"This officer has carefully considered it. The following deployment was made, Liaodong had a total of 130,000 border troops, 20,000 sergeants of the Yulin battalion, and 30,000 sergeants of the Jiangning battalion. ”

"After the army attacked the Golden Tartars, the guards of the Guanning Jin defense line are even more important, if the Houjin Tartars ignore everything and suddenly attack Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City, and even Shanhaiguan, they must be defended, and there can be no slightest mistake, otherwise the people here and this official are the sinners of my Ming Dynasty through the ages, and I can only apologize to the emperor by myself."

"This official has carefully considered, the task of sticking to the Guanningjin defense line is very important, this task, please ask Lord Qian to be in charge, and Lord Hong to assist." ……

Hong Chengchou couldn't listen to the later arrangement, he didn't know what to do, why there would be such an arrangement, and what was the most courageous Jiangning battalion in Lu, would stay at home, stick to the city, and watch the border army fight, but at this time, it was impossible for him to raise any objections, because this was in the governor's yamen.

Chen Xinjia's arrangement will definitely set off a storm in Liaodong, everyone knows that the Jiangning battalion should be the vanguard of the indisputable and undertake the main offensive task, but I can't imagine that the arrangement is like this, of course, there will be no discussion at present, and in May, when the army sets out, at that time, the discussion will come out.

What Hong Chengchou was left in his heart was anger and desolation, Su Tiancheng left Liaodong, everything changed, and he even asked Tang Haitai to help him, hoping that the Jiangning battalion could go to the front line and fight with the Houjin Tartars face to face, but unfortunately in today's situation, the Jiangning battalion is regarded as a second-line army, and the large-scale battle has nothing to do with the Jiangning battalion.

"The official emphasized again after the most reluctance, Liaodong is tight inside and loose outside, and the matters arranged today must not be leaked out, if anyone leaks out, the official must take his head, no matter what your identity is, everyone must act according to this deployment, if there is a disobedience and disrespect, the official will be punished as severely, and the monarch will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch, at this time, the official will not care what you have to do with the court."

These few sentences were originally a general emphasis, but Hong Chengchou listened to them with a particularly harsh sound.

After the meeting, the governor's yamen arranged a banquet, Hong Chengchou was not feeling well, and left the governor's yamen directly, Qin Sande stayed in the governor's yamen, with a smile on his face, it didn't matter at all.

Back at the barracks, Hong Chengchou asked the sergeant to stay outside and not allow anyone to disturb him.

Hong Chengchou in the house, fell into pain and anger, since he came to the Jiangning camp, he has never suffered such a bird spirit, the Jiangning camp is the absolute main force, whether it is in the battle to exterminate the Liukou, or in the battle to recover Dalinghe City, what is the absolute main force, that is, when encountering a large-scale battle, always charge at the front, always complete the most difficult task, this is the main force, but Chen Xinjia's arrangement this time is really inexplicable, and he actually regards the Jiangning camp as a second-rate team, Even stationed in the city, he needs to assist Qian Qianyi.

This situation, Hong Chengchou can't bear it, but the situation in Liaodong has changed, it is difficult to speak alone, and he has no good way, of course, there is still a way to do it, Chen Xinjia's combat deployment needs to be played by the imperial court, and it needs to be approved by the imperial court, maybe in this process, the imperial court will make certain adjustments.

Hong Chengchou knows very well that he will not have the slightest effect if he goes directly to the fold, and he will also give Chen Xinjia and Qian Qian the truth, once they know, they will definitely be reprimanded, and in the imperial court, they will not be supported, and if there is such a situation, they will have no place in Liaodong.

Hong Chengchou cherishes his reputation very much, and his heart is also eager to make contributions, when he is by Su Tiancheng's side, these wishes can be realized, and he didn't care much about it before, Hong Chengchou's character is actually a very selfish character, because Su Tiancheng's ability is too prominent, Hong Chengchou is convinced, willing to follow Su Tiancheng to do things, and willing to obey the command, but when facing Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, it is not necessarily.

Hong Chengchou's qualifications are far stronger than Chen Xinjia, although Qian Qianyi's reputation is very great, and even in the first year of Chongzhen, he almost entered the cabinet and became a cabinet minister, but Qian Qianyi's time as an official in the imperial court is too short, and he can't talk about any qualifications, so Hong Chengchou's qualifications are the oldest among the people with the highest positions in Liaodong.

The orders of the imperial court, the emperor's holy decree, Hong Chengchou still has to obey, the so-called in his position to seek his own government, since Chen Xinjia is the governor of Liaodong and is responsible for all matters in Liaodong, Hong Chengchou must obey the command.

At this time, Hong Chengchou finally understood Chen Xinjia's ability, when Chen Xinjia first arrived in Liaodong, he did not exert his authority, many things, and asked for his own opinions, giving people a sense of humility, and it was in this process that Hong Chengchou praised Chen Xinjia to both sides of the court and Su Tiancheng, and a year has passed.

Chen Xinjia unconsciously changed the situation in Liaodong, the Jiangning battalion in Liaodong, slowly lost its status, I believe that after this expedition, after the Golden Tartars, many problems will be exposed, such as the Jiangning battalion's military salary, the Jiangning battalion's command issue, etc., will follow one after another, I am afraid that before Chen Xinjia speaks, someone will come forward.

Hong Chengchou knows Su Tiancheng's temper, and Su Tiancheng will not give in to some principled issues, and Su Tiancheng's analysis is very accurate.

After being annoyed, Hong Chengchou, who came to his senses, turned out Su Tiancheng's letter, looked at it carefully, at this time, he found that Su Tiancheng seemed to have foresight for many things, in fact, in the letter, arrangements were made for many things, and from the perspective of the development of Liaodong, Su Tiancheng's arrangements were just right.

Hong Chengchou was unwilling, he forced himself to calm down, and began to write a letter to Su Tiancheng, this letter was written for a long time, including the situation in Liaodong, all the arrangements of Chen Xinjia, the position of the Jiangning camp, his own requirements, etc., all of which were written, and this aspect was written for two hours.

After writing it, Hong Chengchou called his own soldiers around him and asked them to send the letter to Dengzhou as quickly as possible, and he must hand it over to Lord Su Tiancheng in person, and wait for Lord Su Tiancheng's reply in Dengzhou.

Hong Chengchou specifically asked for secrecy, the previous letters were sent through specific channels, this time, Hong Chengchou arranged for the soldiers around him to send the letter in person, which shows the reusability of this letter. (To be continued......)
