"Wen Daxing, ambassador of the Intelligence Department of Xuanfu Town, Huangming, hereby submits that Jing Nanbo and Ning Nanbo were defeated in Germany, lost their teachers and lost the public, and the Central Plains was turbulent. On the seventh day of the ninth month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Rogue Thieves Section received a whistle report from Xia Yizhen, a sergeant in the lurking camp: On August 21, the thieves Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and He Yilong joined forces with millions of people, and they besieged Jingnan and Ningnan 25 miles from Guide Mansion near Xiayi. At noon, the thieves used the big Buddha Lang machine to fight together, the officers and soldiers were defeated, except for the cavalry, the new army did not have one out of ten, when the staff was chased and killed with the thieves and horsemen, only Jing Nanbo fled to Guide after receiving Ning Nanbo, only the remnants of Cao Zhen were 1,000 horsemen, and Wang Zhen was more than 2,000 ......"

Xia Yizhen's more detailed handwritten whistle is attached below, it can be seen that the handwriting is hurried, and there are still a few traces of blood left on it, the Intelligence Department has noted on it, note: The hidden identity of the officer is the horseman of the right battalion of the thief, the fifth battalion of the thief patrols closely, Xia Yizhen accidentally leaked his traces when he went out, and died in battle.

The following is another intelligence officer Zheng Wenzhi lurking in Guide: "On the evening of August 22, according to the agreement five days ago, I went to Ma Muji to meet Xia Yizhen, and when I handed over the information, Xia Yizhen looked hurried, and said: 'His ancestors', now the thieves are watching the grass more and more closely, Lao Tzu can't stay longer, he has to go back quickly. 'The sudden thief rode more than ten people to follow, Xia Yi really died in battle, Yu escaped by luck, fortunately the information was not lost, may the heroic spirit of Sergeant Xia live forever, and the sun and moon will shine forever. ”

Zheng Wenzhi filled in the blank under Xia Yizhen's intelligence: "...... On the 23rd, Cao and Wang fled to Guide Mansion. Cao Bianjiao only had 1,100 cavalry cavalry in the remaining Zheng barracks, 2,300 cavalry in the Yuzheng barracks of Wang Tingchen, and about 400 new troops in the second town, and more than 10,000 troops in the south of the second town, with less than 4,000 horses left, and the rest were killed or missing......

After this information was sent away, in the following days, Zheng Wenzhi also wrote some whistles in the Guide Mansion one after another, first of all, Cao and Wang were defeated, and the palace was shaken. Li Zhenting, the governor of Guide Prefecture, stepped up the city defense day and night. Prevent thieves from attacking.

However, on the third day of the first month of September, when the thieves camped for dozens of miles through the Guide Mansion, they did not make any action against the city, and they ignored Cao and Wang in the city. Go directly to Kaifeng Mansion.

It seems that after the defeat. The two counts were quite decadent. There was no action against the thieves outside the city.

This information also contains the observation reports of several sentinels lurking in Henan, as well as intelligence samples of the military observation group in Xuanfu Town, Kaifeng Prefecture. The ambassador and chief of staff of the Observer Mission praised Wen Shiyan.

“…… On August 18, when it was close to the unitary, the courtiers of Ning Nanbo asked for help and the messenger suddenly sent a messenger, saying that he was ambushed on the way to Yongcheng in the two towns of Yutian and Zunhua, and Ning Nanbo led the barracks to break through first, thinking that it was for the purpose of asking for help. Jingnan Bocao changed Jiao, led the Yutian Town Barracks, the new military camp, and the new military camp of Tongzunhua Town 7,000 people to return to Xiayi, the messenger said, when the soldiers and horses broke through the town, tens of thousands of thieves and horses have been encircled, the thieves are on foot, the hungry people are rushing, Jingnan Bo is in danger, and he requests Kaifeng Prefecture for emergency support......"

"The Ministry is what I saw, the people of Kaifeng City were panicked, and the people of Kaifeng City were panicked, and the people of Kaifeng City were frightened, and all the gates were closed...... During the meeting, Hu Dawei said to help, Chen Yongfu was silent, Zuo Liangyu was pretending to sleep, Yang Dezheng, and Fang Guoan were indifferent, Ding Qirui hesitated, and when it was late, Ding Governor asked for his own post to discuss the matter, and his own post was impassioned, painfully stating the interests and disadvantages, and strongly advocating the rescue of ......"

“…… On August 21, Hu Dawei, Chen Yongfu, and Jiang Mingwu rode 5,000 horses, went to Guide, and rushed back on the 23rd, Chen Yongfu was in the morning, and Hu Dawei and Jiang Mingwu were in the afternoon, and they all said that Jing Nanbo was defeated, and the thieves gathered millions of people, and the three towns did not dare to enter the ......."

In the intelligence, Wen Shiyan said some of his own judgments and observations, which attracted Wang Dou's attention, and was also cited and analyzed by the Intelligence Department.

"The thieves' tactics are outstanding, make good use of ambushes, Cao and Wang light the enemy's rash advance, unfortunately there is this defeat, our army needs to be taken as a warning, and the information is not clear, and must not enter......"

"There are many thieves and horse troops, and the infantry and horses are combined, and it is difficult for officers and soldiers to break through, if you want to exterminate the thieves, you must first exterminate their horse thieves......"

"The thieves attach great importance to firearms, every next city, must first collect cannons, the artillery is blazing, the Central Plains officers and soldiers fall behind, according to the collection of information from all sides, the defeat of Cao and Wang is also defeated by the artillery fire of the thieves, and the thieves' Buddha Lang machine, I Hongyi cannon can be overcome, and it takes a lot of artillery ......"

"In the Central Plains operation, the officers and soldiers are difficult to support logistics, and the thieves are mainly anti-guest, this time, Cao and Wang, in order to lighten the burden of baggage, light cavalry, and war, put the Franc machine and the tiger squat cannon in Kaifeng City without bringing it, and our Jingbian army needs to adhere to the principle of carrying a month's rations, preferring to walk slowly, and the artillery does not leave their bodies......

"Cao and Wang were defeated, the soldiers and civilians of Kaifeng were panicked, the thieves were arrogant, the battle situation in the Central Plains may change, and the staff department needs to set up a strategy to deal with it!"

"I heard that Cao and Wang were defeated and fled back to Defu, and all the generals under their command were lost, they were killed, captured, or surrendered? If there is a great general, who will it be? In addition to the intelligence department and the investigation, according to the temperament of each person, the staff department needs to correspond to the layout one by one! ”

Wen Shiyan's information was sent to the beginning of September, and it was also determined that the thieves were forced to Kaifeng Mansion, but the rest of the follow-up was gone, and it must have not been sent yet.

At this time, the army is in chaos, the wanderers are wandering everywhere, it is quite difficult to transmit information, and the Daming Post Station is in ruins, and it is difficult to use a lot of forces.

Originally, at this time, the news that Han Chao led the Xuanwu army to capture Guihua City came, and the victory outside the Saiwai was great, the Beijing division was excited, and the people were excited, but after the news of Cao and Wang arrived, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the people were turbulent.

No one could have imagined that the new army of Erzhen, which had fought with slaves in Liaodong, would be annihilated, which was really an uproar.

The little eunuch who was on good terms with a certain intelligence officer in Beijing revealed that Long Live Lord had wept bitterly in the palace that day, shouting: "The ancestors and the ancestors are on the ......."

In this information, the Intelligence Department also excerpted some of the contents of Emperor Chongzhen's urgent order to Kaifeng Prefecture to step up defense. The military department is anxious to stop the Tang text fragment, and finally the summary and analysis of the division, many views coincide with Wen Shiyan's description, Wen Daxing said that the follow-up will be continuously delivered after the information of all parties is summarized.

In the end, Wen Daxing wrote: "The war situation in the Central Plains is as above, pay tribute to the general, pay tribute to the tens of thousands of soldiers who conquered the fortress, the sun and the moon will never set, and it will always shine on me." ”

After watching it a few times, Wang Dou finally sighed, and the faces of the generals were not good-looking.

Li Guangheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, said sadly: "Chongzhen is thirteen years old. The last general once accompanied the general to fight the thieves. After the battle of Luoyang, the thieves were even more defeated, and the troops were injured if they were not killed. The two marshals were even defeated miserably. Daming, what's wrong? ”

Han Chao said: "The information on the cause of defeat is clearly written. Jing Nanbo and Ning Nanbo went deep alone, the grain and grass were not continuous, and there were many thieves and horsemen. And with artillery, so there is this defeat! ”

Zhong Tiaoyang also agreed: "Although the new army under the command of the two marshals has outstanding combat strength, the cavalry of the department is only higher than the thief horsemen, and there are tens of thousands of thieves and horsemen. ”

Gao Shiyin muttered: "Lao Tzu just doesn't understand, why the thieves are always inexhaustible, the thieves have been defeated again and again, and they have risen again and again, how can his millions of soldiers and horses come so easily?" ”

Wen Fangliang had a deep look on his face: "The general once said that the people are thieves, mostly because of hunger and cold, and the soldiers are thieves, mostly because of lack of salary. The thieves have not been extinguished repeatedly, that is, the court has no food, and it cannot settle the hungry people well, so the thieves rise again, and the hungry people are willing to be instigated by them. If Li Chuang's matter was placed in the early period of the dynasty, in the middle period, he only needed to be defeated once, and he would have died without a place to bury. ”

Praise painting Qin Yi said lightly on the side: "Suppressing thieves, the most important thing is civil affairs, military affairs are only supplemented, if there is no food in your hands, you can't draw wages from the bottom of the thief's cauldron, and the officers and soldiers come and go, and they are just tired of running for their lives!" The defeat of Jing Nanbo and Ning Nanbo is unexpected, but it is reasonable! ”

Li Guangheng snorted violently: "Do you just let Li Chuang run arrogant?" ”

He hugged his fist at Wang Dou and said: "General, the last general is willing to lead the cavalry battalion straight to Henan and beat the thieves!" ”

"Ridiculous!"

Han Chao and Wen Fangliang shouted in unison, then sighed and shut up again.

Gao Shiyin looked at Li Guangheng: "Lao Li, it seems that you are still in charge of the war, don't meddle in the affairs of the military strategy in the future, it will kill people!" ”

He yelled at Li Guangheng: "Although Lao Tzu is a rough man, he also knows the importance of grain and grass, you think it is refreshing to lead the cavalry battalion, but I don't know how many things the brothers behind have done silently...... Your camp is full of war horses, do you know how much grain and bean you have to eat in a day? If you go to Henan, how can you keep up with the logistics supply? Counting on the local government? The generals didn't dare to look forward to ......"

He shouted: "Also, the thief is used to running, when you arrive in Henan, he doesn't fight you, he just runs all the way, thousands of miles, do you have to chase thousands of miles?" How many thousand miles of grain and grass will be transported in the rear? …… Logistics is difficult to support, there is no food and grass, let my Jingbian army brothers drink the northwest wind! They are also human beings, not made of iron, they all have to eat and drink, you speak happily, and what do you care about the safety of my soldiers? ”

Xie Yike interjected on the side: "Yes, back then, the officers and soldiers chased Zhang Xianzhong, this guy ran from Huguang to Sichuan, and then ran back, if it wasn't for the general who set up an ambush in Xiangyang to destroy the thief, I don't know what about the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue, and now Luo Rucai, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and other remnants are still left." ”

Gao Shiyin continued to roar: "Also, Daming is not our family, we are not an emergency team, we always run from the southeast and northwest, doesn't this army need to rest, the brothers have just finished fighting the Eastern Tartars and the Northern Tartars, and they are going to fight the Liukou again, and they have fought before...... And then where do you go after beating the rogue? This monkey is endless. Besides, when you say you're going to Henan, are you going to ask for an order, or are you going like that? No order is tantamount to rebellion, even if you don't care about reputation, no one dares to care, but this sneaks around, it looks like being a thief, we are soldiers, not thieves! ”

"Enough!"

Han Chao burst into a shout: "Don't make any more noise!" ”

Wen Fangliang saw that Wang Dou's face was quite sad, and said softly: "Don't say it." ”

Gao Shiyin apologized to Li Guangheng: "I'm sorry Lao Li, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and I am a little anxious to speak." ”

Li Guangheng snorted and did not speak.

Wang Pu's expression changed uncertainly, in order to avoid suspicion, he took the initiative not to look at the core information of the Jingbian Army just now, but when the audience spoke like this, of course Cao and Wang knew about it, and he was just glad in his heart.

He thought: "What kind of thief to fight, thankless, I'd better stay in Datong and live a peaceful life...... Of course, if you follow the Jingbian army, it doesn't hurt to follow and fight anyone. ”

……

With the war situation in the Central Plains, the Intelligence Department still has several more pieces of information, Du Du led the Manchurian army to Liaoxi, to the surprise of all parties, Liaodong General Wu Sangui seemed to be beaten to the point of no power to fight back, many castles in Liaoxi were broken, everywhere was smoked, Du Du grabbed a lot of money, after Zierharang joined, Wu Sangui was even more anxious.

Zhong Xiancai, the general of the White Tiger Army, also proved this, when Du Dudong went, he was responsible for guarding Xuanzhen and did not move, but when Jierharang led thousands of Manchurian elite cavalry and rushed back to Liaodong, Zhong Xiancai seized an opportunity and suddenly rushed hundreds of miles to make a side attack.

Zhong Xiancai did not follow again, but only sent some night spies to send back a series of information.

After seeing the battle situation in western Liaoning, Gao Shiyin said: "Wu Sangui has become a silver-like wax spear head?" ”

Wang Pu also sneered, to Wu Sangui, he has always looked unpleasantly, the sense of superiority in his bones is more than him, think about last year in Liaodong...... What the hell!

Wang Dou was thinking deeply, in the end, the warlord is easy to transform, Wu Sangui, has become bad.

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to pay for it.

In the face of the controversy over the imperial court's Liao salary in the past year, Wu Sangui made a move, but this move was too vicious, ignoring the fire and water of the army and the people.

Wang Dou remembered that Wu Sangui was a hot-blooded young man before the Battle of Songshan in history, and after the defeat of the Ming army in Songshan, Zu Dashou was captured, Wu Sangui guarded Ningyuan alone, responsible for the affairs of the entire Liaodong, and from that time on, he needed to bear the interests of the entire Liaodong group, and perhaps slowly transformed into a warlord.

Now that Wu Sangui controlled Liaodong earlier, and was responsible for the interests of the generals of Liao Town such as the Wu family and the ancestral family, this change may be even earlier.

Warlord...... Woe to the country!

There is also a news from Liaodong that attracted Wang Dou's attention, not long after the Jingbian army left the fortress, Dolgon ordered Duoduo and Abatai to be commanders, and waved 20,000 troops to invade Korea, which was like a bamboo, and there was a danger of destroying his country......

It is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves, butterfly wings are flapping, all parties are changing, Wang Dou looked up at the clouds, just thinking.

The army set off, passing through a mountain peak, the clouds were sinking, the risk was strong, and the wind was fierce, looking at this majestic mountain scenery, Gao Shiyin suddenly sighed: "Ah, Daqingshan, Daqingshan, how many joys and sorrows of the children of Hanhu have you witnessed!" ”

Wang Dou, who was groaning, almost fell off his horse. (To be continued.) )
