"If you send the order, don't put the grain in the warehouse, all the food will be transported to Tongguan! In addition, you send the order to Yulin, Huamachi, Yan'an, and Yansui towns will gather in Tongguan. Before August 11, this governor will see the army!"

"Supervisor!!!"

I was immersed in joy just now, but these words immediately shocked the young officer and raised his head in disbelief.

"What do you want?"

"Your Majesty's imperial edict, the Shaanxi army will come out to pacify the thieves today, and there will be no delays!"

After staying in Dongjiang for a long time, it seemed that he could get such a reckless problem. Minister Huang Pingpao offered respectful imperial edicts. Yuan Chonghuan casually reached out and threw it to the young officer. He also took it in surprise and glanced at it twice with a quick look. The talent who could be favored by Yuan Chonghuan was naturally not an ordinary person. In just a moment, he had already seen the problem.

There were many imperial edicts before Chongzhen issued an order to urge Yuan Chonghuan to send troops, but in his tone he also sent troops as soon as possible. I gave him a high reputation, but this time he threatened it directly, which was already an ultimatum.

If it is delayed, these threats may become a reality. Yuan Chonghuan, who has been the three-sided governor for two years, may have to be beaten to the end. It is light to go back to Liaodong and continue to grow sweet potatoes. If it is not easy to get it back, he will be imprisoned and held accountable. The city Cao beheaded.

However, personal honor and disgrace are the lightest for Yuan Chonghuan. If he cared about all this, he would have been the emperor in Japan and married Chiyohiko. What he couldn't stand the most was that his hard work was finally put to waste.

However, the contradiction is the current contradiction. Sending troops is not a good strategy! As far as the situation is concerned, Li Zicheng's power has reached its peak at this time. In the name of not paying food, he absorbed tens of millions of disaster victims and millions of warriors, occupying a large tract of territory from Henan to northern Huguang. Moreover, the disaster victims who had just joined the warriors won a series of victories such as the Battle of Kaifeng, the Battle of Baoding, and the Battle of Zhuxian Town. The morale was the most fanatical time.

War is not like a game, two teams of people rush to each other. When they are defeated, they will be killed everywhere. Quantity, equipment, morale, terrain, logistics, and each item affects the trend of the war. Even Mao Jue in Dongjiang has to consider it seriously when fighting with the trespassing army, let alone the Qin army, which is just starting now.

The best strategy is to stick to Tongguan, which is also the best result of several meetings of officers.

After all, fanaticism cannot be eaten as food, and the natural disasters in the Central Plains are not fake. Now the local order has been destroyed by the rebel army. Li Zicheng is not as long-term as Zhu Yuanzhang. Those who can accumulate the foundation of the dynasty will only wait for two or three years to exhaust Henan's materials. The Li Zicheng regime, which has no food to eat, will either collapse or even run away.

At that time, Shaanxi, which is gradually recovering, Li Zicheng's hometown will definitely become his coveted target. Yuan Chonghuan is different from Sun Chuanting. In history, he is good at development and killing Mao Wenlong is also coveting the trade between Dongjiang and Li's North Korea. Three years later, there will be at least a big change in the three sides of Shaanxi. It is no problem to raise 200,000 troops, unlike now, there is only a little more than 80,000.

Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan is best at fighting on the city. He wants to snipe the trespassing army in Tongguan with the dangerous mountains and rivers. He may have to turn the battle into the next Ningjin victory. As long as he defeats Li Zicheng once, he will beat him to cross the street and run around the country. The chances of winning are at least 73.

But now, with 80,000 troops, he went deep into Zhongzhou, Henan for thousands of miles, and fought against Li Zicheng in the heart of the rebel army. It was like a goat breaking into a forest full of hungry wolves to duel with the head wolf, and it was as difficult as it was to penetrate its belly. Sun Tzu's art of war was full of 50 miles to compete for profit, and he would definitely win the general! The chances of victory were only 28.

But even so, Yuan Chonghuan had to take this bad strategy. For him, there was a glimmer of hope for a bet, and if he didn't bet, he would die! I'm afraid no one in the court had the courage to cut the knife on the King of Qin and a series of core local gentry to equalize social material distribution. Shaanxi would eventually go back to the old path. The Qin vassalty and local tyrants once again embezzled the military farm he had cultivated and the salt fields he managed, and the commercial road was occupied by a few people. Most people still had to struggle for survival and became the fuse for the destruction of the imperial server.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to put the treasure on yourself. In just a few dozen seconds, Yuan Chonghuan made up his mind!

Silently handed the imperial edict back to Yuan Chonghuan's table, bowed heavily, and the young officer immediately retreated with anxiety.

…………

After all, it was "investigation" in Dongjiang. In the past year, Yuan Chonghuan has made many decent things in Shaanxi. At least compared with more than a year ago, northern Shaanxi, which was covered in wind and sand, relied on the reclamation area near the river to restore its livelihoods. New villages were embedded among these blocks of farmlands. Immediately afterwards, a truckload of grain harvested by Chetun Village was pushed by a wheelbarrow by farmers. Joy and reluctance were revealed on their faces and pushed to Tongguan.

The military ration warehouses, which had starved rats to death, were once again filled with warehouses.

As for the defeated border troops with low morale and low combat effectiveness, the defeated soldiers of the border were reintegrated, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled were eliminated, and the worn-out weapons and equipment were replaced. Under the dispatch of Yuan Chonghuan's military order, the newly recruited Qin army, carrying muskets and spears on their shoulders, wearing brand new cotton armor, freshly painted helmets and hats, also gathered towards Tongguan with great strides.

According to Yuan Chonghuan's military order, on the tenth day of August, the last possessor of the Ming Dynasty gathered west of Tongguan. It was composed of Shaanxi General Gao Jie, Yulin General Bai Guangen, Yansui General Niu Chenghu, Yan'an General Zuo Guangdou, Huamachi Deputy General Liu Juai and other 21 generals, totaling 80,000 Qin troops.

Among them, Yuan Chonghuan personally led 30,000 Tongguan troops, a large part of which was captured by the former Shaanxi general He Renlong. Liu Yuantu, the lieutenant who followed him out of the Beijing camp, was also considered to be superior and became the general of Tongguan.

Many people believe that killing He Renlong in history was a common failure between Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting, but in fact, he was the only way to lose his head. Even if Yuan Chonghuan came to power, he did not let him go. He Renlong was fierce and good at fighting, but a general escaped twice on the battlefield and abandoned two commanders of the army, causing him to die in battle. He was rebellious and did not obey orders. Such a person was simply a time bomb! If he could not trust him on the battlefield, it was still a hidden danger behind him. He was not in charge of the army! It would be better to kill him and use this to establish his authority to shock others.

At least with Yuan Chonghuan's order, no military general in Shaanxi dared to disobey his orders to delay.

In terms of equipment, Yuan Chonghuan also imitated Mao Jue and attached importance to firearms. Although the caliber is obviously much smaller than the Dongjiang Red Cannon, more than 500 large and small cannons installed on unicycle are also murderous. Such a copycat Dongjiang Army has become Yuan Chonghuan's bet and hope.

Standing on the west gate of Tongguan and looking at a large army with such a lineup, Yuan Chonghuan felt a little confident.

He was wearing a triple armor and a mighty phoenix-winged helmet on his head. He suddenly pulled out the Shangfang sword on his waist. Facing the eyes of tens of thousands of troops gathered, Yuan Chonghuan roared loudly.

"Brothers of the Qin army, this governor is Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides!"

The military discipline is not as serious as Dongjiang. There are so many troops who maintain their formation, and there are some whispers. However, when Yuan Chonghuan roars, the entire playground suddenly becomes silent. Yuan Chonghuan has a personal charm that even Mao Jue admires, just like Zhao Lu Sect back then, even the Qin army is willing to serve him and shed blood and sacrifice for him.

In the eyes, Yuan Chonghuan's voice became louder and more violent, and in the hoarseness echoed over the ancient Tongguan like the long song of an eagle.

"Now the Japanese governor will not talk to you about the great justice of the court, but only about the present! Shaanxi has been trespassing for many years! The places where the bandits pass by, the villages are broken, the city is smoked, and thousands of households are either turned into corpses or are robbed, and they have to embark on the day of escape! I believe that this governor doesn't need to say more about these things, and I believe everyone is also vivid in their purpose!"

"And at this time in the Central Plains, the thief leader Li Zicheng, the bandits among the thieves, has suddenly started to show up. I will not hide it from you. There are millions of thieves, which is very terrible! Even I am afraid of them!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Chonghuan's voice became a little louder again, and he roared out with great anger.

"But finally, the three sides have recovered some vitality in our hands and everyone. The abandoned land has been replanted, and the landlords can rest in peace, and the common people can also rest. The mountainside in front of us is the hard work of our governor and the hometown where you rely for survival! This governor does not allow anyone to destroy it! This governor would rather die than let these treacherous soldiers and soldiers pass through Tongguan! Come and ravage the pearl of our governor!!!"

"Get out of the gate and fight!"

The typical Mao Jue-style speech achieved extraordinary results. With Yuan Chonghuan's unique personal charm, it instantly ignited the ignition of all Qin Zhen soldiers, and in an instant, tens of thousands of Qin soldiers were boiling.

Especially Liu Quai, the general of Huamachi, who was born in a coolie, was like a madman waving his sword desperately.

"Brothers, how did the supervisor treat us? The supervisor is willing to die in battle. I will never let the supervisor die in front of me!"

"Follow the supervisor, come out of the customs and fight!"

Amid the boiling cry, sixteen bronze trombones blew the roaring battle sounds on the ancient city wall of Guancheng. Under the thunderous drum beats of dozens of war drums, the gate of Tongguan, full of war traces, opened, and then, the slender flags were the first to rush out of the closing door.

The Right Minister of the Ministry of War, the governor of the Three Borders of Shaanxi, and the commander Yuan!

The cavalry's agile movements were on both sides, and the sergeant pushing the unicycle in the middle also gritted his teeth and rolled forward. The last climax music of the Ming Empire also ushered in his opening.

…………

Just as the Shaanxi Battle Crown was roaring, the more eternal and wild land of Liaodong, the iron hooves were also banging the earth fiercely. Here, the last chapter of the Qing Dynasty quietly opened.

As the days just came to autumn, the blood-sucking worm carrying the deadly virus, and the rats had not yet disappeared. In the barren rice fields, you can occasionally see a fat rat covered in poisonous sores, crawling out of the rotten skull's eyes and opening its mouth and hissing, but then they were intimidated by the rapid cavalry and hurried back.

More than a dozen fierce horses were galloping like flying, and several layers of thick cowhide stillbirth carried one or two tons of Dongjiang Red Armor cannons, crushing deep ruts on the disrepaired Liaodong official road. There were fifty such cannon cars, and the Dongjiang riders carrying infantry and rifles were also kicking their horses' butts in a hurry.

Fortunately, he robbed a Mongolian coalition. Otherwise, Mao Jue would not be able to repay so many war horses. Now 30,000 people drive more than 60,000 war horses, pulling more than 50 cannons, and moving south quickly.

If this battle is fought after it snows in winter, the threat of the Black Death will be minimized. However, Mao Jue seemed to have the impatient attitude of Emperor Chongzhen, and personally supervised the Chen Rong army. He also rushed to the front line, kicking the belly of the war horse, and he was also anxious to move forward.

Starting from Tieling, it took a day and a night of raids without stopping for a moment. On the same day when Yuan Chonghuan came out of seclusion, the former Shenyang City and the current Qing capital Shengjing suddenly appeared in front of the 30,000 Dongjiang vanguard cavalry.

However, compared with his former glory, Shengjing seemed extremely dilapidated and lonely at this time. The farms of Manchu nobles attached to the bottom of the city were empty, and the fields were covered with weeds. The gates of Shengjing City were open, and the shadows of cannons could be vaguely seen on the city walls, but the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the city could not see any of them. Looking inward along the street, the wide street was also empty, like a ghost city.

Indeed, Emperor Chongzhen used the strategy of expelling wolves and tigers to allow Mao Jue to inherit the throne of the Liao King in Shengjing, but this throne is really optional for Mao Jue. Its greatest significance is nothing more than to show the self-care portal of Dongjiang and to show muscles to the court with old bureaucrats. This strategic goal has been achieved. Mao Jue really doesn't care when he will inherit the Liao King. The bait that Chongzhen likes cannot drive Mao Jue to march forward at the risk of the plague.

The one who can really force Mao Jue is his archenemy Huang Taiji!

Mao Jue looked at this scene in front of him like Sima Yi who was fighting with Zhuge Liang. Looking at the huge city, he suddenly strangled the war horse and looked at it with a telescope uneasy.

In early July, we received news from the imperial imperial guards. The Qing people gathered their main force to approach Shanhaiguan. At the beginning, Mao Jue didn't believe this news at all. Huang Taiji really gave up Shengjing City, gave up the entire Qing Dynasty, and gave up the country that had been conquered for two generations. He fled? It is impossible for a hero to be like him!

Besides, he was going to escape, which was definitely a dead end for the Jianzhou Jurchens. Not to mention whether the Eight Banners slave owners and nobles who were used to farming and the men who were under their command could live a hard nomadic life on the grassland. Just now, at least a half of the Qing army were surrendered by the Guanning Jin defense line. This plan was not advisable. They had betrayed once. How loyal can these surrendered troops be! Even the empire was gone, and there was no hope for a future. These surrendered troops would sooner or later rebel. Once a civil war broke out, no matter who won or lost, the Jianzhou Jurchens would be over.

And there is an old saying that when the tiger falls into Pingyang, he is bullied by a dog! Even if Huang Taiji is reincarnated by Wanyan Aguda, he really brought the Eight Banners to suppress the surrendered army, defeated Shanhaiguan, and fled to the grassland, they still have to face the entire Mongolian tribe!

Back then, the Later Jin Dynasty was powerful on the grassland, making the Mongolian tribe a slave to the Shengjing Khan. Now, these formerly lofty masters fled to the grassland like stray dogs, with the elderly, weak and sick, and it would be strange if the wolf-like Mongolian tribes did not take any harm. Even if they escaped to the grassland, the Jianzhou Jurchens still faced the entire Mongolian tribe.

With strong enemies in front and no reinforcements behind, Huang Taiji took a path of no return.

What's more! After decades of rest and recuperation, the number of people from the Jurchens in Jianzhou in the Qing Dynasty was at least hundreds of thousands, and they had no railway to use. In just two months, it was impossible to escape the entire tribe to the western Liaoning Corridor under the eyes of the Dongjiang Army on the Guangning Front!

With doubts, Mao Jue finally couldn't wait to send troops, but just as he was holding the telescope full of doubts, the Shengjing gate, which had opened most of the time, suddenly started to move.
Chapter completed!
