On the 8th day of November, the Zheng Jiajun of Shaanxi and Huai'an met in Linqing, and on the 10th of November, the Zheng Jiajun of Huai'an, Shaanxi, and Fuzhou met in Tianjin, two days earlier than the expected meeting time. This is not because Zheng Jiajun's movements are fast, but thanks to the dispatch of Hongmen and the superb skills of A Bing and other sailors, there is already a thin layer of ice on the canal in the north, and a delay of a day may cause the boat to be frozen on the river and unable to move, so A Bing and others are driving the boat day and night, winning all the time.

The place of the meeting is not at the wharf in Tianjin, after all, it is 50,000 troops, if it is a mighty disembarkation at the wharf in Tianjin, it will definitely cause a sensation, as for the huge boat, there are not many people paying attention, anyway, the boat from the south, the momentum is very large, and in the past few years, the transport has been very busy, and the grain and other materials from the south are continuously transported to the north.

Zheng Jiajun's choice of disembarkation location, in a temporary wharf about twenty miles away from Tianjin wharf, here used to be the place where the boat chose to stay temporarily, because it was close to the capital, according to the previous rules, the boat needed to contact many officials in the capital, up and down, in order to ensure the smooth unloading of the materials on the boat, but after Zheng Xunrui became the governor of Caoyun, all the complicated procedures were abolished, and this temporary wharf gradually became deserted, which happened to come in handy this time.

The scouts who got off the ship in advance had already reconnoitred the surrounding situation, perhaps because of the invasion of the Houjin Tartars, which led to the fact that Tianjin was also affected, who knows if the Houjin Tartars would ravage Tianjin, so there were a large number of people who fled, and almost all the rich people chose to go to Huai'an and other places in the south, so this area is very quiet, and it is far away from the city of Tianjin, and the population is even more impossible.

After disembarking, many soldiers began to set up camp.

Zheng Xunrui has entered the first Chinese military tent to be built.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao, Hong Xinyu, Counselors Ma Xianglin, Zheng Kaitao, Su Congjin, Su Manzi and others, as well as Wen Kun, Li Panlong, Li Yan, Xu Jikuang and others. All of them are in the Chinese military tent, and the general Wang Xiaoer leads the scouts and is investigating the surrounding situation.

The dark line of the capital sent information in time.

Because of intelligence mistakes. Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and others all severely criticized the dark line in the capital, so the content of intelligence during this period greatly increased and the speed was much faster.

Zheng Xunrui looked at the intelligence carefully, and the rest of the people were very quiet. Zheng Jinhong and other senior officers of the Zheng Jiajun seemed to be very comfortable, while Wen Kun, Li Panlong, Li Yan, Xu Jikuang and others seemed a little excited and a little uneasy.

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Xunrui spoke.

"The battle of Yanqing Prefecture City has changed, Dolgon launched an attack on Yanqing Prefecture City on the fifth day of the first month of this month, and they let 20,000 soldiers of Miyunwei and Yingzhou Wei undertake the task of the main attack, which led to the defection of 20,000 soldiers. The attack on the state city suffered a crushing defeat, and according to intelligence, Dolgon may have changed the plan of the battle, adopting the method of besieging the city of Yanqing, and at the same time sending a large army to continue to plunder the various parts of Beizhili. ”

Zheng Xunrui said it very clearly, easy to understand, and everyone listened very carefully.

"The situation in Beizhili has changed, and we have to make adjustments accordingly, we have arrived in Tianjin, which is only one hundred and seventy miles away from the capital. We have actually entered the war zone, and we may encounter the Houjin Tartars at any time, although the Houjin Tartars are still active in the west of the capital, but I feel. Sooner or later, the Houjin Tartars will have to be brought to Tianjin and Shandong, and since they are so aggressive, they want to gain more. ”

"Along the way, I have already analyzed with Wen Kun and others, if the Houjin Tartars are not able to take Yanqing Prefecture City in a short period of time, they will inevitably adjust their thinking of fighting. There are 150,000 troops under the command of Dolgon, plus 20,000 soldiers who surrendered, such a huge team, the consumption of grain and grass is huge, and the habit of fighting in Houjin Tartars is not to carry too much grain and grass, all of which rely on looting to maintain expenses, so it is impossible for them to spend a long time in Yanqing City, now it seems that our analysis is accurate, and Houjin Tartars will definitely send most of their men and horses to loot everywhere, loot grain and grass, and maintain the cost of the army. ”

"Judging from the marching route of the Houjin Tartars, after they entered the customs in late September, they basically moved towards the west of the capital, I expect them to attack the capital for the time being, after all, the more than 100,000 troops led by Lord Hong Chengchou are stationed in Yanqing Prefecture, and there are many troops from all walks of life stationed in the capital, and the Houjin Tartars are also afraid of being attacked from inside and outside, so the direction of their next battle is Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion and other places."

"The 50,000 former army led by Lord Xiong Wencan suffered a crushing defeat, which also led to the various armies in the capital not daring to start a face-to-face fight with the Houjin Tartars, so the next battle of the Houjin Tartars will be unusually smooth, they can continue to attack the city and pull out the village, loot a large amount of grain, grass and money, and meet the expenses required by the army.

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui looked at everyone.

"I have analyzed all the situations that should be analyzed, and then you will see how the army should act next."

The soldiers had already spread out the map, with many marks made by Zheng Xunrui.

Everyone looked at the map carefully, all pondering, and no one spoke for the time being.

Zheng Xunrui's eyes looked at Wen Kun, Li Yan, Xu Jikuang and others.

For these three people, he is ready to be reused, Wen Kun is his brother-in-law, he can definitely be trusted, and he is flexible, well-informed, and can stand alone, so after this battle, he can be sent to Penglai and Fuzhou and other places to preside over the overall situation, Li Yan has a good vision, and has also experienced battles, loyalty is needless to say, and he is righteous and bold, and he can quickly open up the situation when he enters the Zheng family army, so after this battle, he can enter the Zheng family army and become Zheng Jinhong's main assistant, as for Xu Jikuang, Zheng Jinhong has long paid attention to it, Xu Jikuang is a combination of scholars and righteousness in the rivers and lakes, he can preside over the overall situation of the Shanyin Gang, combine the power of the three sects and nine streams, and can also maneuver between the scholars, the ability is not simple, Hong Mingcheng, who has assisted Hongmen for such a long time, has taken care of everything in an orderly manner, which is enough to be reused, so after this battle, Zheng Xunrui decided to let Xu Jikuang enter the Governor's Mansion and do things by his side.

As for Li Panlong, maybe he has been in the officialdom for too long, and his ideas have been somewhat fixed, but his ability and courage are still good, and he can also be independent, after this battle, he can be sent to Shaanxi and other places to assist Wen Zhenheng in doing things, and he can even prepare to replace Wen Zhenheng in the future.

These are Zheng Xunrui's ideas, and he also needs to find more talents and build his own power framework to counter the imperial court, and once the time comes, he will not be caught off guard.

This discussion, Zheng Xunrui attaches great importance to it, the fighter plane is changing rapidly, any plan must be substantially adjusted with the change of the situation, this battle is very important, Dolgon has an army of 150,000, and the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui is only 50,000 people, and the number is at an absolute disadvantage, so when formulating the battle plan, all aspects must be taken into account.

As the saying goes, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, although some people have raised objections to this sentence, thinking that Zhuge Liang is Zhuge Liang, and other people's temporary improvisation is not as good as Zhuge Liang, but if you listen to it, you will be clear and biased, and this is a wise saying, especially when it comes to major battle plans, it is very important to listen to the opinions of all sides.

Everyone didn't speak for the time being, and Zheng Xunrui wouldn't urge, he knew that everyone needed to think, of course, his focus was on Wen Kun, Li Yan, Xu Jikuang, Li Panlong and others, as for the many officers of the Zheng family's army, they were basically used to obeying his orders to fight, but they rarely thought about it.

Another problem that gave Zheng Xunrui a headache did not exist for the time being, that is, Xu Wanghua mentioned, until the Houjin Tartars took Yanqing Prefecture, the Zheng family army participated in the battle, now it seems impossible, Dolgon has changed the deployment of the operation, Zheng Jiajun can not watch the Houjin Tartars wreak havoc in Beizhili, since they have come to Beizhili, then they need to really fight with the Houjin Tartars.

The inside of the Chinese military tent was quiet, and Wen Kun and the others also saw Zheng Xunrui's gaze, but they would not speak rashly, discussing such a major matter, and opening their mouths without careful consideration, it would be irresponsible.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke.

"You don't need to be so nervous, we have just arrived in Beizhili, and we have not yet started a fight with the Houjin Tartars, and the initiative is in our own hands, so you try to relax, I have long said that the more critical situations and major scenes you face, the more you must be calm, and you must not panic and be confused, today's discussion, I call it the group of heroes, everyone must put forward their own views and suggestions, especially the officers at all levels of the Zheng Jiajun, you must think about every step of the battle plan, You can't always follow orders from above. ”

When Zheng Xunrui said these words, the atmosphere was not eased, and everyone was still thinking seriously.

He shook his head helplessly, he couldn't force everyone to smile, after all, in the face of 150,000 Houjin Tartars, every step of the combat deployment and plan is very important, any link problems, it means to pay a lot of price, in this case, it is a bit reluctant to ask everyone to relax and put forward opinions and suggestions.
