The Ming army victoriously captured Shimen Mountain, completing the first step of the strategy, Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruoqi, Wang Chengen and others were all overjoyed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In addition to immediately ordering the mountain navy and the Miyun army to hold the mountains and valleys and make sure that these important places are firmly in the hands of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou also congratulated Ma Ke, Tang Tong and others in the governor's camp.

For this great battle, his governor Xingyuan had temporarily moved from Songshan Fort to the east of Loess Ridge, just behind the camp of Wu Sangui and others.

The commanders in Songshan, the important lieutenant generals of each battalion, and the staff generals all participated in this feast. During the banquet, Ma Ke and Tang Tong's eyebrows fluttered, obviously proud of their achievements, and in order to appear that they had worked hard, they also deliberately made themselves disgraced, as if they had just come down from the line of fire.

However, there was a farce before the banquet, because the Miyun army did not cooperate in time, and the Shanhai Navy suffered heavy casualties, which made the generals of the battalions in Shanhai Town feel angry. Although Ma Ke still looked intimate when he met Tang Tong, but the generals in his town did not have this city government, and after seeing the officials and generals of Miyun Town, everyone couldn't help but sneer and speak harshly.

The generals of Miyun Town were not willing to be humiliated, and they fought back at the moment, and everyone fought each other from verbal quarrels, almost developing into fists and feet, or the generals of Ning Yuanjun tried their best to persuade each other, so as to avoid a group fight and bloodshed tragedy.

Regarding why the Miyun army did not launch an attack from behind Shimen Mountain, after the battle, when he met Hong Chengchou, Tang Tong defended himself. In other words, although the Tartars of Shimen Mountain were defeated and fled, the opposite side of the Xiaoling River was the main force of the Tartars. If Miyun is not careful. Immediately dig trenches to prevent it, the main army of the Tartars crossed the river and attacked, and the army was defeated, who is responsible for this?

Moreover, there are many soldiers and horses in Shanhai Town, and there are tens of thousands of Wu Sangui's troops behind him, so there is no danger to worry about, and his Miyun army faces the main force of the Tartars, and one carelessness is the result of the loss of the overall situation. It's easy to see at a glance.

He has a lot of words, and he is the first to speak, and Tang Tong has always been able to speak the Tao. is very eloquent, and in a few words, he cleared up the relationship for himself.

In his words, he also faintly pointed out that the mountain navy was greedy for merit, and only then did it result in the loss of the army.

In fact, at the most critical juncture, Ma Ke did not ask for Wu Sangui's reinforcements, was he not afraid that Ning Yuanjun would share his credit?

The battle between Shanhai Town and Miyun Town gave Hong Chengchou and Wang Chengen a headache.

At the juncture of the war, any move to deal with the generals before the battle is unlucky. This time, Tang Tong's achievements are also obvious. The reason is also upright, although there are mistakes, but because of this matter, if the Miyun Army is dealt with greatly, it will inevitably hurt the hearts of the front-line soldiers.

The Jiliao army was one, and Hong Chengchou didn't want to see any splitting between them, so after Tang Tong and Ma Ke returned, Hong Chengchou only reprimanded Tang Tong slightly, telling him to focus on the overall situation and closely cooperate with friendly forces. He comforted Ma Ke and promised to make up for his lost soldiers and horses as much as possible.

The matter was over, Ma Ke showed the style of a general, but spoke for Tang Tong, making Hong Chengchou nod secretly.

Although a few days ago, the mountain navy had the defeat of Matsuyama Fort West. However, in this battle of Shimen Mountain, his military town performance. It's remarkable.

Only Tang Tong was a little surprised, he knew Ma Ke's temperament, when was it so easy to speak?

Although Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and others formed factions at this time, there was no open and secret struggle between them. On weekdays, Ma Ke is domineering in front of him, but today's matter, Tang Tong didn't have the intention of letting Ma Ke suffer a little loss, Ma Ke looked magnanimous, which made him uneasy.

On the bright side, this matter has passed, and Hong Chengchou and others are not even willing to let the contradictions between the Jiliao army be made public and exposed in front of everyone.

However, Shangfeng has a tacit understanding, it does not mean that his subordinates have this awareness, no, the Zhujie banquet has not yet started, and the officials of Shanhai Town and Miyun Town almost fought together, so that Wang Dou, Wang Pu and others watched a lively scene, which made Ma Ke and Tang Tong and others annoyed for a while.

Of course, in addition to this episode, Ma Ke and Tang Tong were in the limelight at this banquet, not only did Hong Chengchou and the officials praise him vigorously, but even Wang Dou went up to toast.

No matter what thoughts they had in the past, at least Ma Ke and Tang Tong performed well today, so Wang Dou did not hesitate to praise them.

"Today, Ma Shuai and Tang Shuai sacrificed their lives to serve the country, fought bloodily, greatly boosted the morale of our army, and frustrated the fierce flames, and should be a model for the generals!"

With such praise in front of Wang Dou, Ma Ke and Tang Tong both felt that their faces were bright.

Ma Ke smiled with an oily face: "Uncle Zhongyong has a good reputation, compared with your department, Ma has a lot of shortcomings." ”

Tang Tong was also a little flattered, he said: "Tang is fortunate not to be dishonored, this is also thanks to the work of the Holy Lord Hongfu, Hongdu and the supervising army, and the last general has a little merit!" ”

He raised his glass and said loudly: "The last general proposes to make a toast to Inspector Hong, Zhang Jianjun, and Wang Jianjun!" ”

Ma Ke glanced at the little white face next to him, but said with a smile on his face: "Tang Shuai is reasonable, let's drink this cup!" ”

For a while, everyone stood up, Hong Chengchou and the others were satisfied, no matter what Tang Tong's level of fighting was, at least he knew things for people, and there was still a set.

Hong Chengchou stood up with a smile and raised his voice in his official dialect with a Fujian accent: "Today's good news is the result of General Ma, General Tang's efforts to serve the country, and General Wu's courage to respond. As long as the kings fight to the death, what are the slaves afraid of? Come, everyone, please drink this cup to the fullest, congratulate the Holy Son of Heaven, congratulate me Daming, and congratulate the soldiers! ”

Everyone shouted: "Congratulations to the Holy Son of Heaven, congratulations to Daming, congratulations to the soldiers!" ”

After that, the tent was very lively, Zhang Ruoqi also stroked his beard and smiled, Ma Ke, Tang Tong and others captured Shimen Mountain, and the flag was victorious, and he could also share a piece of praise for the painting.

This is the case with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the civil officials draw up a strategy, and the military generals will capture the flag, although the strategy is offered by Wang Dou, but the praise and painting will only be recorded on the heads of Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruoqi, Qiu Minyang and others.

During the banquet, the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty were also discussed, and the preliminary strategy had been completed, and tomorrow Wu Sangui, Ma Ke, and Tang Tong only needed to put out the frame of crossing the river to attract the attention of the Tartars. The key is whether the main force of the Tartars will be attracted to the banks of the Daughter River when the main force moves westward. If you can't. Wu Sangui and the others did not dare to cross the Xiaoling River.

It can also be seen from the topography that from Shimen Mountain to the edge of the Xiaoling River, due to the narrow terrain and the lack of Pingchuan, there are not many places in Pingchuan, so their own soldiers and horses cannot be used, and they can only cross the river slowly with waves of thousands of people, which belongs to the tactics of adding oil. The Qing army, on the other hand, can be in the east and north of Jinzhou at one time. Swing several, if not tenfold, troops.

This is also the reason why Wang Dou does not advocate the main force to attack from this side, and no matter how many troops there are, they can't be deployed here. Each time, the Qing army can adopt the tactic of outnumbering the outnumbered.

The combat strength of the Ming army was originally weaker than that of the Qing army, and if it was outnumbered by the crowd, the consequences were unimaginable.

However, Wang Dou believed that the Nu chieftain did not dare to bear the consequences of the main force of the Ming army crossing the Daughter River, so that the threat to the garrisons of Jinzhou South, Jinchang Fort, and Baimiao Fort was too great. Huang Taiji is not an idle person, he will not fail to see this, and will definitely gather heavy troops to intercept it. The two sides fought on both sides of the Daughter River.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Sangui and others can cross the Xiaoling River, although Jinzhou City is now heavily surrounded, but the ancestor Dashou in the city is also an extraordinary person, and he will seize the opportunity to go out of the city to engage in battle, and attack the Qing army in the east of Jinzhou City before and after, increasing the chance of victory for Wu Sangui and others.

The key to this battle is to take advantage of the fact that the Tartars did not react, quickly capture the Twin Mountains and Maojiagou, and clear the obstacles to the confrontation. According to the assumption of the General Staff Department of the Jingbian Army. When the main force of the Ming army moved westward, although the Qing army would be confused for a while, it would soon react, and the heavy troops quickly responded to the reinforcement and wanted to cross the river. It's not that easy, either.

However, for the Ming army, not being able to cross the daughter river is secondary. As long as the main force of the Qing army is attracted and the siege of Jinzhou is relieved, it will be a victory.

The atmosphere in the tent is calm, tomorrow's battle is not trivial, one is not good, it is a decisive battle between the two sides.

On the opposite side is the fierce Tartar, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are torn apart, life and death are unpredictable, and the blessing and misfortune are only in an instant, no matter if you are a general or a small soldier, you may die on the spot, Bai Guangen is a lesson from the past.

Hong Chengchou desperately cheered up the generals, and Wang Chengen also said gloomily, in tomorrow's battle, if you dare to retreat timidly, and if you are not a country, he will truthfully impeach.

Zhang Ruolin also said a lot of words of encouragement, which aroused the morale of the generals, especially Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of the army, who was even more enthusiastic.

After entering the aid of Liaodong, the two generals did not have any outstanding performance, seeing that the generals had a lot of credit, they were naturally unwilling, among which Zuo Guangxian roared like thunder, and he must let the armies see the demeanor of their Qin army.

Although Zuo Guangxian is considered to be Hong Chengchou's descendant, he went out of Shaanxi with Hong Chengchou back then, but now, there is a trend of more and more marginalization.

At present, in Hong Chengchou's eyes, he only values Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, and the less attention he attaches to Zuo Guangxian, which is also related to the combat strength of his department. In history, the Qin army did not have any outstanding performance, they could fight the peasant army, but they could fight the Qing army, but they were a little unable to get on the stage.

Among the generals in Liaodong, Wu Sangui's department was originally strong, and the relationship in Liaodong was even more intertwined, which was also the reason why Hong Chengchou did not reuse Zuo Guangxian but wanted to vigorously envelop Wu Sangui. Zuo Guangxian has a rough appearance, like Zhang Fei, but he also has a delicate side, so he is naturally unhappy and wants to change this situation.

……

Out of the tent, the sun sets, the night gradually falls, look at the past, whether it is Shimen Mountain in the north, or Loess Ridge in the west, or Niangniang Palace in the south, etc., all become the sea of flags and military camps, and the big flags of each camp are hunting in the wind.

The lights of the camps have been lit, and many of these camps are still camps for soldiers and civilians, who are all in full swing overnight to build equipment.

In the battle of tomorrow, whether it is Wu Sangui, Ma Ke and other places crossing the Xiaoling River, or Wang Dou and others crossing the Daughter River, a large number of wooden pontoon bridges are needed, and the more of these equipment, the better. Not only that, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong who was in charge of logistics, under the supervision of Wang Chengen, the superintendent army, also found some fishing boats and went north along the Xiaoling River, so that he could quickly build a pontoon bridge for Wu Sangui and others.

The emaciated camel of the Ming Dynasty was bigger than the horse, and under the high-speed operation of the front-line army, a steady stream of materials was gathered.

Of course, these fishing boats all sailed up along the west and north banks of the Xiaoling River, so as not to be attacked by the Qing army and destroy the boats.

The Tang Tong army camped along the narrow river valley, and in the cautious style of the Miyun army, they sent out many dense patrols on the bank.

A part of the Mako Mountain Navy was camped in Shimen Mountain, and they were also very careful, digging multiple trenches in the area of West Shimen Mountain to prevent the sneak attack of the Qing army in Rufeng Mountain.

Flags were everywhere, and dense tents spread. People shouted that the horses were neighing. There is an atmosphere of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

At the foot of the Loess Ridge, Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Li Fuming, and Fu Ying Chongce quietly looked at Shimen Mountain in the north on their horses.

The war is about to start, looking at Yang Guozhu and Li Fuming. They all looked calm, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, but there was no emotion on their faces.

Only Wang Pu kept rubbing his nose. Looking at his expression, nervous, and even more excited, Fu Yingchong's body trembled slightly, obviously the battle tomorrow will put a lot of psychological pressure on him.

The breeze blows, the weather slowly cools, and during the Xiaoice period, winter always comes early.

Seeing that Wang Pu was sucking and rubbing his nose beside him, Wang Dou smiled and said, "What." General Wang is nervous? ”

Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, immediately straightened his chest and bulged his belly, and said loudly: "Don't be nervous, just a little Tartar, the little brother has seen a lot." ”

Fu Yingchong also trembled and echoed: "At the point of the banner of my god machine battalion, the ugliness of the group will inevitably disappear, and it will be a little Tatar, what a way." ”

The people around him laughed, and Wang Dou smiled: "Indeed, it's just a Tatar." Don't be afraid. ”

After a pause, he said: "Tomorrow's battle, you will definitely go down in history!" ”

Wang Pu smiled on his face: "This is all the promotion of Uncle Zhongyong." ”

Fu Yingchong said: "Yes, it all depends on the promotion and cultivation of the loyal and brave uncle. ”

Looking at Wang Pu's smiling face, Wang Dou's heart swelled with strange feelings. Historically, Wang Pu was a well-known general who escaped after the Battle of Songshan. He was beheaded and abandoned the city for the crime of fleeing for the first time, but this time he went to help Liaodong, and his subordinates performed remarkably. Perhaps, this is the so-called red near Zhu, and black near ink.

He smiled and said, "The two generals are polite!" ”

He looked ahead, his eyes habitually narrowed, and countless memories, like marquees, flashed through his mind.

He remembered his oath to make the land of China a paradise, so that all kinds of regrets in history would not happen again, and the Battle of Songshan was one of his regrets, and he would definitely change it!

……

After Hong Chengchou left, his heart fluctuated, and it was difficult to settle down for a long time, and after pacing back and forth in the tent, he decided to go out for a walk to relieve his nervousness.

He brought his cronies and staff Xie Sixin, and some personal guards to the Xiaoling River, where the cool breeze gusted, and from time to time there was a sea breeze flowing up the river, with a sense of gloom.

As far as the eye can see, the surrounding military camps are lit up with sporadic lights, reflecting the stars in the sky.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was silent for a long time, Xie Sixin beside him said: "Hong Du, are you worried about the war situation tomorrow?" ”

Hong Chengchou sighed: "Yes, the soldiers are in danger, the slave chieftains are powerful, and if they are not careful, they will lose their elites, if this is the case, what face do I have to see the Holy Son of Heaven, and how can I be worthy of the trust of the Holy Lord and the imperial court!" ”

Xie Sixin stroked his beard and said: "Governor Hong doesn't have to worry, the combat strength of our division is between Nu You and Nuyou, as long as we are cautious in using troops and taking every step of the way, our chances of victory are still high." Besides, with the loyal and brave uncle, General Zhenshuo is here, and tomorrow's war will definitely be worry-free! ”

Hong Chengchou sighed: "I hope so." ”

He glanced at Xie Sixin, Xie Sixin in front of him, in his forties, Xin'an people's clan, and Hong Chengchou had a lot of friendship, Hong Chengchou came through Liaodong as the governor of Jiliao, so he used Xie Sixin to join the army, which was quite important. In history, after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, when he led the Qing army south, Xie Sixin rejected Hong's invitation and replied with four poems to express his position.

Because of Wu Sangui's vigorous pull, at this time Xie Sixin also became close friends with Wu Sangui, during the battle of the three feudatories, Wu Sangui's army was strong, the long whip pointed at the point, Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan looked at the wind and surrendered, he sent an envoy to Huizhou to hire Xie Sixin, Xie Sixin also refused, and replied with a poem, accusing Wu Sangui of Qin and treachery.

It's quite a standpoint.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Gong Xie, you see Wang Dou, and the eldest uncle, which of these two people is better or worse?" ”

Xie Sixin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although I am close friends with the eldest uncle, and the eldest uncle is also a young hero, I have to say that the eldest uncle is far from being loyal and brave." ”

Hong Chengchou sighed: "Yes." ”

He knew in his heart that Wang Dou was born out of reckless clothes, no matter what era, the people at the bottom always had a hard time, but if he could be in a high position step by step, he was a resolute and decisive person, in contrast, Wu Sangui came all the way too smoothly. The essential comparison of the two sides is like the difference between an egg and a solid stone.

He sighed in his heart, although in the Liaodong Army, he vigorously supported Wu Sangui to compete with Wang Dou, but I have to say that the effect was too weak. At a critical time, we have to look at the Jingbian Army, and the existence of Wang Dou is also the spirit of the hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong, the pillars of the pillars, and no one dares to disrespect him.

Xie Sixin's eyes were deep: "Wang Dou is this person, a capable minister who rules the world, and a hero in troubled times." ”

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "In the past, Bai Gu once said to me, Wang Dou is a person who looks at wolves and thinks deeply, I didn't take it to heart, Wang Dou was just a guerrilla attack that day, and now he is ......."

He said: "Wan Wangzhong Yongbo should remember the principle of loyalty and righteousness for the country, otherwise, he will be more terrible than Dongnu and thieves." ”

……

The night is quiet, at the foot of Shimen Mountain, in the main barracks of Mako.

Marco got up in his clothes, feeling distraught and unable to sleep for a long time.

In the past, when he was upset, he could often fall asleep soundly under the effect of two flats not as good as one round, but today this effect seems to have disappeared.

Hearing the faint sound of drums outside, he stood up in distraught, lit a candle, and walked back and forth in the tent.

The candle flame swayed, and his heart was also up and down, tomorrow's battle, is it fierce or auspicious?

Today's tragic battle is still fresh in my memory, and thousands of Tartars, many of whom are not yet armored soldiers, have suffered heavy casualties among the battalions in his town. Tomorrow's war, that is, the main force of the Tartars is attracted to the daughter river, presumably it will also be a bloody battle, how many soldiers can be left in the town at that time? He wasn't sure.

Thinking about the dissatisfaction of some generals in the town after today's battle, he was angry in his heart, these Qiu Ba are becoming more and more domineering, and he should find an opportunity to treat them well.

But then he was depressed, and after tomorrow, he didn't know the outcome of his survival in the barracks?

Thinking about today's hard work, I regretted it a little, and under the fear that day, I subconsciously wanted to get a glimpse of the cadres, and by the way, I made some contributions, and raised my face in front of the generals, and let Wang Dou see that he was not a bad seed.

However, the result of hard work is the loss of soldiers, for him, it is not easy to raise soldiers, is this result worth it?

He thought of Tang Tong again, and his heart was even more annoyed, this insidious guy, although he had a lot of words and reasons, but Ma Ke saw through his intentions at a glance, he deliberately wanted to damage his soldiers and horses, so that he could climb on his head afterwards. Thinking of Wu Sangui, he was also dissatisfied, not a single soldier moved, in the mouth of Hong Du, he actually had the credit of responding, which was really unfair.

Hmph, it's not a good thing, you're unkind and unjust, tomorrow's war, if you don't give them a little stumbling?

However, in tomorrow's war, I and them are like leeches on the same rope, and if they lose, their own mountain navy will not be much better.

After the investigation, Hong Chengchou and Wang Chengen will not let themselves go.

Originally, he and Tang Tong had a hat that wore a hat for self-redemption and made meritorious contributions, and then made some mistakes......

Marco had a lot in his heart, and it was difficult to make a decision for a long time.
