Chapter 980: Enemy Situation Suppresses Bandits

Walking through the mountain customs of Yongping Mansion, the army entered Liaozhen, although the situation in eastern and northern Liaodong was tense, but there was nothing unusual here in western Liaoning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Along the way, the forts and the Thousand Houses, as well as the Acropolis, were respectfully supplied, and from the nervousness and solemnity on the faces of these people, some traces of the war could be seen.

Jinyiwei and Sanjiang System, with the support of Wang Tong, have already laid enough eyeliner and dark piles in Liaozhen, and they have all played a role at this time, and the news has been transmitted continuously.

"It's always been our Liaozhen soldiers and horses who went out to save others, but now it's upside down, what's going on!"

There are also similar words, and everyone laughs and doesn't pay much attention to them.

Originally, according to Wang Xijue's guess, Wang Tong went all the way from Liaoxi to Shenyang, and the elites along the way had to be concentrated, so that there would be a large enough army to confront the Jurchen and Mengu coalition forces.

But he didn't expect Wang Tong to do this at all, and everywhere he went, the quartermaster and several generals posted the list and shouted in crowded places to recruit loyal and brave people.

It is required to bring its own horses and armor, and the supplies can be purchased from the army, but the army will never be supplied, and must accept the command of the army.

Let's not talk about the conditions, if you really follow, this army still has all kinds of ways to test you, and if you can't pass the test, it means that you are not qualified, and you don't want to go.

Such a promise is the same as not saying, who will take it seriously, but those who dare to come under such conditions are all brave people, Liaozhen is a military town, and the martial style still remains, seeing such recruitment conditions, although it is blocking a large number of people, but there are also outlaws and conceited people who come to take refuge.

However, when it came to Ning Yuanwei, such talents had recruited more than 500 people, according to the news obtained by Wang Tong, if it were not for the Xuanfu guerrilla Li Sanshi secretly operating, it would be good to be able to recruit more than 200 people, Li Sanshi was the leader of Li Rusong's personal guard after all, he was a descendant of the Li family's generals, so he was naturally popular, and it could be regarded as a guarantee.

It is a good thing that there are many people, but Wang Tong issued a strict order to strictly take the school examination, and those who do not meet the standards are resolutely not to, which makes it very awkward up and down.

It's everyone who is here to fight for you, and you ask for more than empty promises, and now you still suspect that there are many people who are not good enough, I really don't know what you think.

When I walked through Ning Yuanwei, it was already the eighth day of the first month, and the marching speed of the army was not slow, and after getting along with each other for such a long time on the road, the relationship between Wang Xijue and Wang Tong was also a lot closer, at least to the point where they could chat.

Wang Xijue is almost fifty years old, born rich, since he was a child, he has been pampered since he was a child, outside the gate, the first month is the coldest time, Wang Xijue is not afraid of hardship, the carriage he is equipped with is only going to sleep at night, and the rest of the time is surrounded by several family guards, riding horses and wandering around the army.

After all, it is wartime, and it is on the march, as a superintendent running around, safety is also a problem, Wang Tong must not arrange someone to escort, but when guarding, he specially advised, Inspector Wang can do whatever he wants, you just watch from afar, don't come forward to interfere, so as not to make trouble.

But Wang Xijue didn't incite the morale of the army, nor did he win people's hearts, nor did he talk deeply with the generals, he just watched and asked every day, like an old child who saw new things.

When the army crossed Songshan and arrived at Dalinghe Fort, the atmosphere could be felt, and the forts and walled cities along the way were all in full array.

But after knowing that it was the imperial court's soldiers and horses, the supply and reception were thorough, and the people who guarded the deputy chief soldier Sun Shoulian in southern Liaoning also came here to systematically introduce the situation here.

Now there are 30,000 people in Shenyang City, more than 10,000 ancient people, and the rest are Haixi Jurchens and other departments of non-Jianzhou Jurchens.

If the city can be opened, the women in the city, the Jianzhou Jurchens will not take anything, and distribute them to everyone, and the women of the goods, this temptation makes the ancient people and the Haixi Jurchens all crazy, and they each concentrate their forces on the city of Shenyang Zhongwei to besiege and attack.

Shenyang Zhongwei is the second largest city in Liaozhen, the city defense is solid, and there is enough strength in the city, and the grain and grass reserves are also sufficient.

The trouble now is that the Jurchens and the ancient people used the Han people collected from the surrounding villages as the vanguard, and used the captured Liaozhen soldiers to make siege equipment.

After Li Chengliang and his sons and nephews retreated to Liaoyang for rearmament, Li Chengliang's son Li Ruzhen led 3,000 elites back to Shenyang in Liaoyang.

This also shows that the people besieging Shenyang City are not so tightly besieged, but then Sun Shoulian sent people in several times, but it was very difficult, and some people were even damaged under the city, which can be seen that the level of siege and siege is gradually improving.

The main force of the coalition army of the ancient departments of the gate is placed on the side of Tielingwei and Anlezhou 30,000 guards, sweeping these two obstacles, the grasslands of Liaodong and Liaobei are connected, but Tielingwei and Anle Zhou 30,000 guards still have strength, because when Li Chengliang sent troops, these two places are the key and hold the back road, so they left enough soldiers and horses.

The situation on these two sides can be said to be a slightly weaker stalemate of the Ming army, but if you see the activities of Nurhachi's Jianzhou Jurchen, you will not think so.

Now it is Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhaqi who led 4,000 Jurchens from Jianzhou and 3,000 from the Savage Jurchens to sweep the area east of Shenyang and north of Lianshanguan.

Uproot the fortresses and fortresses of the Ming army in Liaozhen, these fortresses and fortresses are not many defenders, and there are villages around them, it doesn't take much effort to fight down, and they can get a lot of supplies from them, this is actually to consolidate their own occupied areas, there is a very bad news, that is, some local big local tyrants, simply joined the team of Jianzhou Jurchen, and the worse news is that Lianshan Pass is actually already in the south of the Taizi River, and the defense line set up by Sun Shoulian along the fortresses on both sides of the Taizi River has actually been broken, Now the forts have either fallen or become isolated cities.

Nurhachi, on the other hand, was in Hetuala, resting the elite forces of the Jianzhou Jurchens, while using the looted goods in the victory to recruit the savage Jurchens, and constantly strengthening his own strength against the Haixi Jurchens and the Mengu tribes who were still waiting and seeing.

This news is not a secret to Wang Xijue, after hearing this report, Wang Xijue's wandering around to see the fresh mood disappeared all of a sudden, and began to become worried, Wang Tong did not feel much surprised by this, but talked about Nuerhachi when chatting with Cai Nan in private, although this person is not very old, but his mind is not small, this step-by-step operation, the plot is not just what "Wise Khan".

After Wang Xijue was silent for a few days, the army arrived at Haizhou Wei, Haizhou Wei and Gaizhou Wei one north and one south, holding the Liaoxi Corridor, and after passing Haizhou Wei, it was to enter the hinterland of Liao Town.

When he was in Haizhouwei, Li Chengliang sent his son Li Rubai to greet him, in fact, according to the identities of Wang Xijue, Wang Tong and Chen Ju, Li Chengliang did not come in person, which was a big faux pas.

Wang Tong may not pick these, but Wang Xijue and Chen Ju were a little unhappy when they saw Li Rubai, Li Rubai naturally understood this truth, and also gave a heavy gift after explaining the reason, Li Chengliang fell ill after returning to Liaoyang, a generation of famous generals, crisscrossing northern Xinjiang, but was beaten by the original slave in such a defeat, and his spirit and body collapsed all of a sudden.

After entering the hinterland of Liaozhen, I can finally feel the atmosphere of war, the enemy's rangers naturally can't enter, but Liaozhen retreated but there are many routs scattered, some people are collected, some people are scattered as bandits, doing nonsense on the ground, their plan is also simple, first live happily for a while, and then go back to the army, in addition to these people, there are some, that is, local idle people, seeing the situation collapse, no one can take care of local security, they also made a fuss, not to mention robbery, but also colluded with those rebellious soldiers, The calamity is even greater.

The army walked for less than a day, because they saw the strict discipline of the imperial army, and many villages along the way came to cry and complain, all saying that bandits were rampant and asked the army to exterminate them.

For this request, for the sake of the people, it is true that the bandits should be suppressed, and for the sake of the army, it is impossible to delay time here, Wang Xijue thought it was a dilemma, but Wang Tong simply solved it.

Now there are nearly 1,000 cavalry recruited by the army, and Wang Tong calls them "righteous and brave", Wang Tong gathered all these people and sent someone to say:

"A bandit's head is two taels of silver, the property on the bandit belongs to you, the person who kills the good and the impostor is beheaded, and the report of the person who kills the good and the impostor will get the reported goods, the army will not wait for you, after the disposal, catch up!"

These words were also written into a proclamation, distributed in various villages along the way, a head two taels, this is more than military merits, besides, the volunteers are brave and strong, killing the defeated scoundrels is still sure, don't say it's them, even the villages along the way are taking action after getting the news.

The first to hand over the head was the village closest to the army, five heads, ten taels of fine silver hair, everyone's enthusiasm soared, and the bandits that had been rampant for a period of time were quickly eliminated, and Wang Tong's side spent less than three thousand taels of silver.

Liaoyang City, the center of Liao Town, is about to arrive
