Beiyang new warlord

Page 385

This Qu Shixu was considered Mao Jue's hole card before, as long as he was talked to, he could dispatch the troops supported by Liaodong, but now?Liao Bing could hardly count on him. What's the use of keeping him as an empty shell?

Seeing that this guy was still bookish, Mao Jue simply waved his hand in disgust.

"Come on, prepare a boat and send Supervisor Qu's army to Lushun!"

He was about to explode with rage, and was dragged by several soldiers to walk backwards, Qu Shixu still howled loudly.

"Mao Jue, you are presumptuous!"

"I am under the command of the Ministry of War to supervise military affairs. If you dare to treat me like this, I will definitely impeach Huang Long with you!"

It's a pity that even if he broke his throat, Mao Jue's attention was no longer on him. Looking at the Pidao Fortress full of vicissitudes, Mao Jue shook his head with a wry smile.

"Thieves go to Loukong, don't be idle here! Order the fleet to dock on Phi Island and respond at any time."

"The last will obey!"

Dongjiang is doing all it can to parry this thunderous blow. On the other side, the dark cloud formed by the Qing army is also condensed in the sky, and it will not disperse for a long time. At the beginning of May, the bustling Yalu Riverside City completely dispersed. After going, the trend of the Qing Dynasty is completely clear.

Dorgon Hauge led the left-wing Manchuria as the vanguard, commanding an army of 15. Matafu, Duoduo, Yuetuo and others led scattered cavalry in multiple routes, and the central army was led by Huang Taiji himself, which was not much different from the previous information. , The Mongolian, Manchu and Han armies totaled [-], plus the innumerable slave coats, a total of more than [-] troops, and they were mighty and mighty to press down on Lee's North Korea.

As for the reinforcements behind?The Ministry of War first quarreled, Huanglong retreated to Lushun, Zu Dashou, who had saved Mao Jue's life before, and Wu Sangui, his superficial brother, all sent a call to action, and everyone inside was in a hurry, but there was no order from the Ministry of War, "we can't send troops"! Let Mao Jue defend the tower by himself and wait for the order from the Ministry of War.

The courier exchange was more than a month ahead of time, and the precious information detected early began to become worthless as every minute and every second was wasted.

It's no wonder that they have been defeated repeatedly. Such friendly towns and friendly troops may have nothing to do even if Sun Wu is still alive.

On May 22, Huang Taiji's crusade was officially sent to Dongjiang. When the call was received, Mao Jue was preparing troops at the Tieshan school grounds.

Seeing the proclamation written in Mongolian, Manchu and Chinese, Mao Jue's face was changing. Wen Meng and other generals were silent and accompanied them there silently. There was a commotion.

This time it really felt like a shotgun change, there were more than a dozen Jinyi guards around to clear the way, and the military supervisor Qu Shixu actually went back and forth, and rushed in arrogantly.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Dongjiang Tieyi Deputy General Mao Jue will accept the decree as soon as possible!"

Chapter 359. Emperor Chongzhen

In the year 90 of the Ming Dynasty, this was probably the most ignorant imperial decree. The Jin Yiwei who announced the decree was shouting there, but Mao Jue, who was standing on the general platform, was still standing and watching him as if he hadn't heard it. Even after reading the call to action, none of the major generals responded to him.

Originally, his face was full of excitement, but seeing this scene, the smile on Qu Shixu's face froze, and the faces of several Jinyiwei who passed the decree couldn't help showing more and more angry expressions. Officials are not allowed to pay tribute like their ancestors. There are still officials who dare to hang up the imperial decree. Seeing that the head of Jinyiwei Baihu put his hand on the handle of the knife.

As expected of a talented scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, he also had some quick wits, and to save face, Qu Shixu suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and shouted loudly.

"The head of the Minister's Military Department, Qu Shisi, the military supervisor of the Dongjiang River, accepts the order!"

This is a step, if the imperial decree cannot be passed on, these Jinyiwei will have to go back and walk around. Anyway, it is awarded to Dongjiang, and it is enough for someone to accept the decree, so this wonderful scene appeared, and the Jinyiwei below opened up. The imperial decree read the emperor's order there, and the Dongjiang generals on the other side watched the emperor's will.

"By God's blessing, the emperor said, a lot of nonsense, General Polu, Dongjiang General Mao Wenlong, who has guarded Pidao for many years, has made many military exploits and made great achievements. Today, he is granted the title of Dingxibo, the governor of the Chinese army, and the governor of the capital. one place!"

"Mao Jue, Deputy General of Tieyi, regained Yizhou, and sent the Japanese leader Toyotomi back to the country. He worked hard to guard the Dongjiang River! Today, the son inherits his father's business and succeeds the position of Dongjiang General Army. I hope he will live up to my expectations and make more contributions to the country. !"

"Hangzhou Chen family, born in a famous family, virtuous and virtuous, famous all over the world, today I have granted the title of third-rank wife, and I will come to Beijing with Ding Xibo today, and enter the palace to meet the queen. I respect you!"

"Minister, I accept the order!"

Qu Shixu obviously stuttered when he heard this imperial decree. He kowtowed his head with difficulty. Although he didn't seem to care, Mao Jue couldn't help snorting when he heard the imperial decree, and immediately threw Haoming in his hand. , turn around and leave.

This shows how incompetent Emperor Chongzhen was, how mean and ungrateful. The previous suspicion of Dongjiang was because he transferred a general from Liaodong to lead Dongjiang, intending to replace the Mao family's ruling position. Now Dongjiang, Liaodong , all the urgent memorials written by Lee's North Korea have arrived in the capital. This is the most critical moment for survival in the Liaodong battlefield!

The most critical mainstay of the entire battlefield is Mao Jue! If it is an enlightened lord like Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Wu of the Han, as long as he can bridge the relationship with Dongjiang at this time, let alone being a uncle, he will not even blink his eyes if he is a county king .It’s all right here in Chongzhen, good guy, after a lot of hard work, I was given the Dongjiang General Soldier, and he didn’t even give the rank of general, and he didn’t even give the vacant position of the governor of the Fifth Army. As long as a commander in chief looks at him that way.

Especially Mao Wenlong and Chen Jiao's conferment of Bofeng! Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is to let them go to the capital as a hostage, forcing Mao Jue to fight to the death. The canonization was so long overdue at this time, can Mao Jue have a little bit of heart? Gratitude is unknown, and if you play this game again, if it is a computer game, Mao Jue's loyalty will probably drop to a negative number in a straight line!

Not only Mao Jue, but before Jin Yiwei let out a sigh of relief and pointed to the stage, Kong Youde had already spit out with a sneer.

"Uncle Dingbei? Tsk tsk, the emperor's kindness is really great! Lao Wen, what did the Qing emperor bestow on our general?"

"It's not high. He's only a king of Zhendong. That old guy still has a daughter who can't get married. He's going to stuff our general's bed in a shameless manner. He's far worse than this Ding Beibo, who is the general of Dongjiang!"

In an instant, Qu Shixu felt that his back was drenched, and he didn't even care about accepting the imperial edict. He rushed up to the general's platform with a single stride, and snatched the copy of Huang Taiji's proclamation with his hands.

Unlike those civil officials in Ming Dynasty who babbled a lot of nonsense, Huang Taiji's call to action kept the simplicity and clarity of the minorities intact, with only a few polite words in the front, and then entered the core of the content.

"I have heard for a long time that the Dongjiang Mao family is famous far and wide, fair and capable, the people are rich, and the place is peaceful. I can't bear to harm it. I would like to welcome him as the king of Zhendong, marry the clan Gege, and carry it into the Zhenghuang Banner. Command the old Dongjiang area and Li's North Korea, I think of General Mao, and I will return as soon as possible, and I will be like the Duke of Zhou, and I will sweep the couch to welcome!"

It has to be said that Huang Taiji has really worked hard in recruiting surrender and accepting rebellion. In history, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are gratifying. Included in the ruling class, there is also Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang, who married Nurhachi's daughter as soon as he surrendered, was named a son-in-law, first-class general soldier, and was also included in the core of the Houjin bandit group.Even if Huang Taiji died, the later Qing court also inherited this point, just like Wu Sangui, the appointment and dismissal of officials in the entire southwestern provinces were in his hands. In the next book, I really got rich rewards. Relying on the descendants of the Xu Dynasty, a small tribe with a population of several 10 people got into this Huahua Jiangshan.

But what happened afterwards, Qu Shixu didn't know and didn't want to know, just looking at what was in front of him was enough to make his back wet and completely drenched in cold sweat.

The meanness and widowhood of the Chongzhen Emperor here, and the magnanimity of the Qing Dynasty Lord, although they are contemptuously called Jiannu Barbarians, but they are also called emperors after all, and they are still the overlord of Liaodong. The gold content of such a king is still extremely high, not to mention, There is also the threat of the Qing army's 20 troops. If a normal person would not hesitate to fall to Jianlu, right?

Moreover, compared to Li Yongfang, Kong Youde and others, Mao Jue's gold content is much higher. Not to mention the tens of thousands of troops under Mao Jue, Dongjiang's rich financial and material resources, plus Mao Jue's management methods, even if it is only The Qing army still made a lot of money by winning the Dongjiang River but failed to win the Lee Dynasty. The entire Liaodong front of the Ming Dynasty was completely disintegrated.

Not to mention those, what Qu Shixu saw in front of him was dozens of Hongyi cannons in the school grounds, coupled with the majestic fleet of the Dongjiang River, the rich warehouse reserves, and the rude and brave Jiannu. Fear of death, Jinzhou Ningyuan Shanhaiguan, which one can resist for a long time, not to mention the Guan Ningjin defense line, even the capital is in danger.

　∧Shisi can see clearly that as long as Mao Jue turns his back, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace!

"Hey, the princes in the court and your majesty, you really made a big mistake!"

With a whoosh, throwing away Huang Taiji's proclamation, Qu Shixu slapped his thigh sadly, but at this moment, the Jinyiwei Baihu who were confused by this series of incidents urged impatiently again.

"A group of lowly warriors who blocked the muzzle and suffered thousands of knives, why don't you come to receive the order?"

The situation in Liaodong is still violently turbulent. The messengers who go to Liaodong to transfer troops from the Ministry of War every day are foaming at the mouth. However, the speed of gathering troops in Liaodong is still a bit slower than that of a turtle, and even Jinzhou and Ningyuan generation The main force of the army didn't move at all, so it was called to prevent the slaves from going south.

The entire Ming court really cared about the situation in Dongjiang, and the only civil servant who understood the importance of Dongjiang was probably Qu Shixu. It is a pity that after such a series of events, the imperial court's majesty in Dongjiang has completely disappeared. Even the small pawns guarding the gate are full of contempt for him, let alone let him go. I met Mao Jue.

Just as the evasives were busy trying their best to evade, and the intriguing ones were busy intrigues with each other, the ministers of the DPRK and China once again regarded the Liaodong battlefield as their famous airport for power and profit, the Qing army was also irresistible, rolling like a tide, pressing down on the bank of the Yalu River.

Success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He, because of Mao Jue, the Qing army at this time is even stronger than at this period in history. After all, there is a city by the Yalu River. In the territory, relying on these, Huang Taiji recruited more Mongolian tribes, and the Liaodong tribes were filled into the army.

Coming from Shengjing, this army of the Qing army dare not say that it is unprecedented, and it is also a rare military force in history. The eight-sided four-color dragon flag of the eight banners has been spreading for more than ten miles, with the strong north wind. , The action is murderous, and it is completely different from the poor troops in those TV dramas in later generations who wear a uniform, a soldier or brave on the chest, most of the Qing army are wearing iron leaf ring armor, tall and heavy Liao horses With these heavy armored knights on their backs, the horses' hooves trampled on the ground, and even the ground seemed to be rumbling.

Especially following these vigorous barbarian knights, the four or five tons of Hongyi cannons heavy in imitation of the red barbarians were dragged by several steers, leaving heavy traces on the ground. , This huge killing machine reflected a cold light that made people feel cold.

Urging this huge military force that broke the heart of countless Ming soldiers, two battles, riding a huge black horse in the center of the Zhenghuang Banner, under the huge yellow umbrella, the fat Huang Taiji is simply full of ambition , while walking, he still raised his head upwards, following the bumps of the horse, his eyebrows seemed to fly up, and there was a deep and majestic smile on the corner of his mouth.

It's just that while walking, there are still nagging complaints buzzing in his ears like flies.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to recruit that Mao, Dongjiang Town is rich, and the slaves have already sharpened their knives, you are not allowed to fight, everyone has a lot of emotions!"

While walking, Fei Yanggu, one of the important ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, complained endlessly, not only Fei Yanggu, Tong Yangzheng, Turge, Sony, Tulai, Tantai and other Manchu ministers were all aggrieved and kept muttering with.

Just as these Manchu ministers were sour, on the other hand, the Han ministers who were far away from the Eight Banners, such as Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian, etc., were all complacent. His eyes seemed to be aimed at these Manchurians with a little provocation.

Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp! Naturally, this traitor has to get closer to the traitor.But in the Qing Dynasty of this era, the strength of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of the same period in history. There was no other reason. Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who originally brought the Daming Firearms Troop to join Houjin, are still devoting themselves to Dongjiang, and there is no one who can support the scene , the Han Eight Banners naturally can't get angry.
