Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Spy Chief
In fact, these officers don't look at the cultural Cheng dù is not high, but once they use their brains, they are still quite thoughtful, a stinker can't do it, but a group of stinkers get together, pick up the missing and fill in the gaps, but they can come up with a lot of good ways, Yu Xiaotian is very willing to let these guys think of more ways by themselves, it's just the beginning, for a long time in the future, these people will set foot on their own stage, if they don't let them develop the habit of using their own brains, they will listen to the orders of others, When the time comes, it will be difficult for them to train them to be independent talents.
In this way of collective discussion, everyone has the opportunity to express their opinions and fully use their brains, even if they are not right, at least they can use guò to improve their knowledge.
After discussing with the generals for a while, Yu Xiaotian nodded, and roughly sorted out a preliminary battle plan in his heart, as for the staff officers attending the meeting, according to the opinions put forward by the generals and their topographic survey, they also quickly formulated several sets of siege plans and handed them over to Yu Xiaotian for review.
Yu Xiaotian watched several sets of siege plans, and immediately selected a set of siege plans that he thought were most suitable, so he coughed and said: "It's all right, it seems that this time the big guys have used their brains!" Then do as you say.
This time, we will focus our offensive on Chaoyangmen and Dongzhimen, with the 1st and 2nd Brigades responsible for attacking Chaoyangmen, and the 4th and 7th Brigades responsible for attacking Dongzhimen.
The 9th Brigade was on standby as a reserve, responsible for defending the large camp and providing support on both sides at any time, while the cavalry was responsible for attacking and harassing and protecting the flanks of our army.
The siege heavy artillery battalion is placed outside Chaoyang Gate, taking Chaoyang Gate as the main direction of attack, and the Dongzhi Gate side is mainly responsible for diverting the attention of the defenders, but it does not mean that your Fourth and Seventh Brigades can be lazy!
The engineer battalion will divide a company to support the Dongzhimen side, and the rest will cooperate with the first and second brigades to attack Chaoyangmen, so much for the time being, you each go down to prepare, give you a day, and prepare for the siege!
Remember, don't overlook the role of a sniper, sometimes a sniper can be on top of a cannon! It may even change the tide of the battle! Make the most of them, and if you don't get them, they will help you a lot! ”
After the generals listened to the order, the brigade commanders immediately jumped up and shouted the order, and the officers retreated and dispersed in a hurry.
At this time, a person walked into the big tent from behind the big tent, this person has been in the family army, and he has not shown much dew, but no one dares to say that this person has influence on the family army.
It turned out that this person was Liu Tong who first followed Yu Xiaotian to get into trouble, and now Liu Tong is nearly forty years old, from the first small pirate to the present, Liu Tong has been silently doing things for Yu Xiaotian behind his back for so many years, and he has not held a too conspicuous position all along, but Yu Xiaotian knows that Liu Tong has done too many things for him over the years.
Since Liu Tong led his troops to occupy Weitou Bay, broke through Yuegang, and destroyed Yuegang, he withdrew from the army sequence and began to transfer to the underground full-time and did the work of a spy leader.
Sea wolf for so many years, the intelligence network laid throughout the country is from the hands of Liu Tong, don't look at Liu Tong's young age, but his vision is not low, his mind is quite meticulous, these years with the full support of Xiaotian, the intelligence work has been done quite well, so that Yu Xiaotian has grasped a lot of information in time and can respond in advance.
In addition, this time to the north, Yu Xiaotian and the imperial court had a big war of words, always controlling the direction of public opinion, constantly spreading all kinds of rumors about the black court in various parts of the north, and hyping up Yu Xiaotian's character, now the common people in the north, basically most of the people for Xiaotian's rebellion, is to maintain a sympathetic attitude, this aspect of Liu Tong can be said to be indispensable.
And because Liu Tong did these things, he was not famous in the family army, but the sand he had in hand made many people very frightened, and some people who were not mentally strong or had half-heartedness for filial piety could not gain a foothold in the family army at all, and always let Yu Jiajun be in a state of monolith, which Liu Tong also contributed to.
Over the years, the spy organization controlled by Liu Tong has at least detected dozens of cases of attempts to rebel by officers in the Yujia army, basically discovered and stopped in advance, and did not cause a major disaster.
There were even several times when some hostile forces in the government or local government tried to send people to buy the personnel within the Yu family army and assassinate Yu Xiaotian, but Liu Tong was cracked in advance and successfully protected Yu Xiaotian's safety.
Therefore, Liu Tong is quite trusted by Yu Xiaotian at the moment, and this time in order to coordinate the connection with the intelligence system on the ground in the north, Liu Tong also secretly followed Yu Xiaotian here.
Seeing Liu Tong come out, Yu Xiaotian ordered someone to give Liu Tong a seat, threw Liu Tong a cigar cigarette, and asked Liu Tong to light it himself, he took out his beloved heather pipe, filled a bucket of cigarettes, sat down and asked Liu Tong, "How is it?" Is there any news from the city? What is the situation in the city now? ”
Liu Tong smiled indifferently, took a puff of his cigar, and said with a smile after spitting out the cigarette: "Of course, there is news that the city has already become a pot of porridge now, and the current emperor has not slept well in the past few days, and he stays in the Qianqing Palace all day long, constantly issuing orders and ordering officials and soldiers from all over the country to enter the guard."
As for the courtiers, now that Liu Yuliang has been arrested by us, Xue Guoguan has replaced Liu Yuliang and become the first assistant, but Xue Guoguan is not a good bird at all, after taking the throne, he just gave the emperor a way to find money, as for the matter of city defense, Xue Guoguan has no way.
Now the city defense in the city, the current saint is mainly handed over to Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian, although this time we are not light on the black high dive, but I didn't expect this guy to run back to the capital Qinwang with 20,000 officers and soldiers at this juncture.
This guy is very good at exploiting loopholes, Chongzhen was very happy to see him lead his troops back to King Qinwang in Beijing at this critical juncture, and he only reprimanded him for what he had done before, and did not take anything of him, but also handed over the defeat of more than 10,000 remnants of Xuanda and Shanxi who were transferred to Beijing in Baoding and handed them over to Gao Qiqian.
This time, we are attacking the city, which is the main defense of Gaoqiqian, Dongzhimen, which is mainly guarded by the soldiers of Xuanda and Shanxi, and the two gates of Chaoyang Gate and Guangqu Gate are mainly guarded by Zhending Mansion and part of the Guanning army.
Cao Huachun led the three battalions of the Beijing Division and the Yongwei Battalion to be responsible for the defense of the other city gates, and on the whole, the defenders in the city have now panicked, on the surface, it seems to be a strict defense, but in fact, the army has no will to fight, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, just empty appearance!
These officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp are all some old soldiers, who can't train twice a year, and they are usually busy with their own soldiers, just the private soldiers of some generals, which are not enough to hold at all, so the imperial court is now estimated to understand this relatively well, and dare not count on them.
I am afraid that this is also the reason why today's saints, instead of grasping the high and the dive, but entrusting them with a heavy responsibility! Just because Gao Qiqian once supervised the army to quell the Denglai Rebellion, he was the only person who knew the soldiers among the inner servants of the Beijing Division.
Now no one in the saint believes in it, only these inner servants, so this is also the reason why Gao Qiqian is reused.
But as everyone knows, the imperial court is so heavy on the use of high diving, is committing a big taboo, Lu Junmen is very prestigious in the army, those Xuanda generals, used to be his subordinates, Xuanfu general Yang Guozhu respected Lu Xiangsheng the most, this time Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian divided Lu Xiangsheng's military power, and transferred Yang Guozhu's department to Chen Xinjia to listen to it, so that Lu Xiangsheng was forced to die on the battlefield.
Yang Guozhu was extremely angry about this, and my subordinates inquired that Yang Guozhu had privately scolded Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian in the army, including Chen Xinjia, Yang Guozhu hated him very much.
Yang Guozhu even tried to write a bullet chapter to impeach Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian and others, but was persuaded by his advisers, so he did not challenge them, a few days ago Chen Xinjia supervised me and Yang Guozhu avoided the battle, and as soon as the ferry was lost, Yang Guozhu led the troops to retreat sharply, ignoring Chen Xinjia, so that Chen Xinjia was defeated and returned, and Chen Xinjia was finally arrested and questioned by the imperial court.
It can be seen how Yang Guozhu hates these people who harm Lu Junmen, it can be said that in a certain way, the battle of the Daqing River crossing, the reason why our army was able to win so happily, Yang Guozhu played a great role in avoiding the battle.
Otherwise, once Yang Guozhu led his troops to defend the north bank of the Daqing River crossing, even if General Meng defeated the Hu Dawei troops on the south bank, he would not necessarily be able to attack the north bank lightly, and the generals would be defeated and lost.
Therefore, Chen Xinjia's defeat is largely due to the deliberate actions of Yang Guozhu's subordinates!
Now the emperor is eager to recruit soldiers and horses to defend the city, and he actually reuses Gao Qiqian, and puts Yang Guozhu's department under Gao Qiqian to obey orders, this is really a stupid move!
Yang Guozhu and his subordinate Xuanfu soldiers and generals all hated Gao Qiqian very much, and now they want them to listen to Gao Qiqian's orders and give Gao Qiqian their lives, you can imagine what these Xuanfu soldiers have in their hearts.
After learning of this incident, the day before yesterday had already sent someone to contact Gao Minghu, a general under the command of Yang Guozhu, Gao Minghu was a general pulled up by Lu Xiangsheng, and was favored by Mr. Lu.
After Lu Xiang was promoted to Xuanfu as the governor of Xuanda, he inadvertently found that Gao Minghu was a tiger general, not close to women, and brave and good at fighting, so he vigorously promoted Gao Minghu and promoted him from a small thousand generals to the position of general.
Gao Minghu was deeply grateful to Lu Xiangsheng, and once vowed to follow Lu Xiangsheng to the death, but after the Xuanda soldiers and horses entered the guard, the Xuanfu soldiers and horses were assigned to Chen Xinjia by Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian to obey the order, Gao Minghu could not follow Lu Xiangsheng, after the news of Lu Xiangsheng's defeat and death spread, Gao Minghu cried in the army when he heard it, scolded Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and even after getting drunk, he said wildly, he wanted to go out of the army, fall into the grass, and sooner or later one day, he would kill Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian to avenge Lu Xiangsheng.
But later, Yang Guozhu learned the news and called him to reprimand, which suppressed Gao Minghu! But the hatred in Gao Minghu's heart for Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian is by no means as simple as ordinary words.
Beizhi has been paying attention to this Gao Minghu, and originally thought that one day when we attacked Baoding Mansion, we might use this person, but now I didn't expect the imperial court to transfer them to Jingshi.
And they were actually assigned to Gao Qiqian's subordinates to obey orders, so hehe......"
