Chapter 426 Here comes

"Everything must be done through the rain!"

Early in the morning, Yang Jie came to the platform. Last night, he woke up after only half of his nightmare. Yang Jie, who was in a sensation, probably it was raining in Zhenjiang Fort, or he had half of his nightmare? In recent days, the nightmare he had was more or less related to Zhenjiang Fort. According to the previous arrangements, these days will be the key to determining the winning or losing of the Zhenjiang Fort Battle. If it rained these days, then with the help of the power of the rain, the battle of Zhenjiang Fort can be said to have won 80% of the battle. The winning or losing of Zhenjiang Fort is related to the winning or losing of the entire battle against the Donglu, and this battle involving thousands of miles of fronts

The war will have a considerable connection with Yang Jing's future eradication of salt merchants and Shanxi merchants. What Yang Jing still lacks is the huge military victory and great military prestige. If there is not enough military victory and sufficient military prestige, then once he launches this action to change the pattern of the late Ming Dynasty, it is likely that some people will have some "distinct" thoughts, and may even have some "out of control" scenes. Yang Jing does not want to see the situation out of control, does not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and does not want to see things like "clearing the monarch", "establishing another" and other things.

Yang Jing understood that he had only one chance and missed this opportunity. In the late Ming Dynasty, where natural disasters were continuous, internal internal strife, and external strong enemies were under pressure, he might not have another chance. For the many factors that led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Jing felt a deep sense of powerlessness. If he could not succeed this time, then faced with those bureaucrats who were more righteous and did not cooperate and pulled their backs, or internal divisions, civil strife; faced with the doomed natural disasters; faced with the increasingly bigger wildness in history.

In pig skin, he can only vomit blood except vomiting... Yang Jing has only been doing this kind of life as a emperor who makes people vomit blood for less than a year, and he is about to vomit blood. With his financial resources, he is transfusion of blood to an empire that is about to collapse. This kind of thing that is overwhelming with the country, even if he has more gold fingers, Yang Jing feels that he can't continue to do it and will really vomit blood. If he loses this time, Yang Jing feels that he can find an opportunity to try it to see if he can travel back in time, so as not to follow the old path of history.

"Reply to Your Majesty, yes, everything must be done by rain. If there is no rain, I don't know how many people will die in this battle of Dongjiang Town to send reinforcements to Zhenjiang Fort..., and Zhenjiang Fort's persistence will be the key to maintaining the entire front..." Sun Chengzong was standing aside, and the emperor's sigh was sighed by the serious answerer.

"Yes! Winning and losing will only take these few days! If you win, everything will be easy. If you lose, hehe..." Yang Jing smiled and said twice, but did not continue. If you really fail in the battle, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to his prestige. Especially military prestige, it is said that power comes from the barrel of a gun. If the barrel of a gun is unstable, it is very likely to cause irreparable losses in such a big action that goes against fate.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to deduce it for Your Majesty?" Sun Chengzong said that the plan to act with the rain has been deduced by the General Staff Department and has been revised countless times. Logically speaking, the deduction has been relatively complete. However, when Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor seemed to be a little confused, he prepared to deduce it for the emperor again.

"Forget it, there is no need to deduce it... By the way, is the central island of the Yalu River really that wide?" Yang Jing was confused. He had already seen the deduction process well, but perhaps, when deducing it again, he would find some new problems... Yang Jing was puzzled and still didn't plan to watch the deduction, but he still asked questions about his actions this time.

"Your Majesty, this is not wrong. There are two relatively large river islands from Dongjiang Town to Linjiang Village. The first one is located at Zhenjiang Fort, which is formed by the intersection of the Dazhe River and the Yalu River. It is ten miles long and three to four miles wide in the north and south. Once the water rises, the river island will be isolated from the two sides. If you want to cross the river, it is impossible... After the water rises, the river island is located at least three to four hundred steps away from both sides of the river. "

"...The river island below is much larger and more fragmented, but once the water rises, it will become an isolated island like the one above, and it will never be possible to cross the river... Your Majesty, don't worry, this kind of thing will never go wrong..." Sun Chengzong comforted the emperor and said, "Sun Chengzong naturally understood the importance of this war and knew the emperor's pressure.

"Will the heavy rain flood the Jiangxin Island?" Yang Jing didn't want to ask, but the uncertainty in his heart still made Yang Jing ask.

"Your Majesty is worried that Jiangxin Island will be flooded and cannot be stretched? This should not be possible. Such a large Jiangxin Island cannot be flooded. There are houses built for decades on Jiangxin Island, which are all residential for many years, and there is also a small fort. This is enough to show that Jiangxin Island will not be flooded when the flood comes. Therefore, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the problem of pulling and pulling..." Sun Chengzong continued to comfort the emperor and said that this reinforcement of Zhenjiang Fort was based on Jiangxin Island. If Jiangxin Island is flooded, reinforcements will be troublesome.

"Well, I know..., I know, but, in my heart...ah..." Yang Jing was hesitant, confused, and confused. Winning and losing was so important to him that he had nightmares, saying he was relaxed and calming was a lie.

"Your Majesty, just wait until it rains, everything will follow the strategy and will definitely be foolproof..." Sun Chengzong could only continue to calm the emperor's heart.

"Well, I know..." Yang Jie agreed, and said randomly: "...By the way, Master Sun, it's mid-October, I find it a little cold. Zhenjiang Fortress can be worn on rainy days, can the soldiers bear it?" Yang Jie agreed to Sun Chengzong not to worry too much, and then turned around and asked about Zhenjiang Fort again.

Sun Chengzong also felt a headache. The emperor's condition today... Is it really as the emperor said that it was already raining in Zhenjiang Fort? That's why the emperor was so anxious. Isn't this? The capital is still foggy, and seeing that there is still sun in the sky, it will really rain in Zhenjiang Fort? How did the emperor know?

"...Your Majesty, haven't you said that Zhenjiang Castle is close to the sea, and the weather is warmer? Is it late for winter? Even if it snows here, Zhenjiang Castle may just wear a jacket?" Sun Chengzong asked back when the emperor was here. Didn't the emperor say that Zhenjiang Castle is warmer than ordinary places? So, even if it is raining in the rain, it is worth a try.

Yang Jing sighed. It seemed that he was really worried. He wanted to fight in Zhenjiang Fort and specifically checked the origins of Zhenjiang Fort. Zhenjiang Fort has a warm monsoon climate. When will it rain every year and the temperature it will be every year, Yang Jing made these things clear. Otherwise, he would not dare to be arrogant and do anything to pull in the rain in October, because by mid-October, it was already snowing in some places outside the pass... According to the situation this year, winter will definitely come very late, which is why Yang Jing dared to do this in mid-October. This is also the reason why Yang Jing used information asymmetry to deal with the Tartars. Yang Jing believes that no one in this world can understand what a warm monsoon climate is and the impact of this thing.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm too worried! Alas, forget it, don't care..." Yang Jing sighed and decided not to care. He was really too worried. If his dream came true last night, it means that it had started raining in Zhenjiang Fort. If it started raining, it was obvious that this plan had already started. Since this plan had been started, it would be obvious that he was worried that he would be useless. Even if he discovered any major loophole, it would be useless. In just a few days, his news would not be delivered to Zhenjiang Fort. In these few days, all the battles were finished, just like a bird that was released. How to fly depends on the birds.

...

Zhenjiang Castle.

The wind is still blowing, and the dark clouds in the sky tell people that it is about to rain.

The Grand Camp of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the Khan tent, Huang Taiji was discussing with his advisers what to do. The heavy rain was coming, which was obviously quite unfavorable to the Later Jin Dynasty. There was always an idea to go wherever he went.

"...It's going to rain! What should I do?" Huang Taiji asked his adviser indifferently. Rain is quite unfavorable to Dajin. As long as everyone understands it, it's impossible to understand. Once it rains, the siege will be delayed all at once. The situation that has been hard-working these days will probably be ruined. Huang Taiji looked sad.

"... Da Khan, Wen Cheng thought about some things that were not good for me Da Kin. Please consider it..." Although Fan Wencheng is very smart and has a high strategy, he has no choice but to face the disadvantage of rainy days on Da Kin. Not to mention anything else, it will rain, Mao Wenlong's warship will definitely come up. When it thinks of water kung fu, Fan Wencheng feels pain in his forehead. Da Jin is not only riding and shooting, but also riding and shooting. He knows nothing about fiddling with the boat and has suffered a lot in this regard.

"Xiandou just say that Ben Khan is just confused, and Xiandou has to plan for Ben Khan..." Huang Taiji felt extremely unhappy when he thought of his efforts over the past few days.

"First, Khan, once it rains, the water will surely rise, and the two sides of the river will be separated. Khan see, will the people on the east bank withdraw? Or will they continue to stay on the east bank?" Fan Wencheng said carefully.

"Retreat? Xiandou, what is this saying?" Huang Taiji asked in confusion.

"Shanks, once it rains, the river will rise, and the east and west banks will be separated. Wen Cheng is afraid of the people on the east coast..." Fan Wencheng still thought of many things and made many plans, but these plans. Now it seems that it is a bit of a big deal or unimaginable. Fan Wencheng always reminds himself that this time the Ming Dynasty is different from the past, and it is coming in a fierce manner, and he always feels a little uneasy, so it's better to be careful.

"Oh! Haha, Xiandou, it's not Ben Khan's boast. My Dajin is on the east coast. No matter how many Mao Wenlong has, I Dajin is not afraid of him..." Huang Taiji is not making big talk. Judging from his many battle records, they can really say such words. Of course, if this is more reasonable to say to Guan Ning, but if he talks to Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji's heart is also in a strife.

"Da Khan, once the water rises, the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are separated. Didn't Dahan realize that the Jiangxin Island stationed now is too narrow? The widest place is only three or four miles, and the narrow place is only one or two miles. Wencheng calculated accurately. Once the water rises, Mao Wenlong's water camp will definitely drive some warships up. The warship must have red cannons and thousand-jin Folang machines. In that case, wouldn't my Dajin be beaten?" Fan Wencheng said.

"Well, Wen Cheng makes sense, but even if some big warships can be brought up, the cannons on them are limited. When we attacked Jinning the year before yesterday, Yuan Chonghuan had only one or twenty red cannons in his hand. Even if his big warship could be launched, how many cannons could there be? I only need to disperse people from afar. With Mao Wenlong's cannon, it is difficult to pose any threat to my Jiangxin people! However, Wen Cheng makes sense, and it is not a matter of being beaten..." Huang Taiji made a detailed work in the Ming Dynasty, and knew that the Ming Dynasty was casting powerful weapons such as red cannons and thousand-jin Folang machines, but he still didn't believe how many red cannons and thousand-jin Folang machines could be used. However, Huang Taiji said that, and there was a faint voice in his heart that told him that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not short of money.

"Da Khan, Wen Cheng feels that there is no place to hide on this Jiangxin Island. If the house is destroyed after rain, wouldn't it be..." Fan Wencheng thinks that it is better for Da Jin to stay away from water. This water thing is that Da Jin cannot be short on the short side. In short, don't expect anything on the water.

Huang Taiji was stunned. This was indeed a troublesome thing. Squatting on Jiangxin Island and waiting for Mao Wenlong to bang, and then making a drop of chicken. This would undoubtedly be a huge blow to morale.

"Well, Khan, Wencheng thought that on a rainy day, the disadvantage of my Dajin was that my Dajin's riding and shooting could not be performed. I guess Mao Wenlong had expected this, so it rained this time, Mao Wenlong's reinforcements must arrive!..." Fan Wencheng continued to say that it was Huang Taiji's business whether to withdraw or not. He could only make an opinion. Seeing Huang Taiji hesitate, he said directly what was below.

"This is not bad. This rain is the most unfavorable thing for me. I think I started with riding and shooting. If I am a rainy day, the kung archery skills cannot be exerted, and the combat power will be greatly reduced! It is even more difficult to deal with Mao Wenlong's warship on rainy days!" Huang Taiji said discouragedly. This problem is Huang Taiji's most troublesome problem. If he cannot use riding and shooting on rainy days, he should not be able to use firearms. Unfortunately, this time the other party is a warship, and the rain has no effect on others at all. It is impossible to use other people to attack other people's firearm troops as before. Huang Taiji began to pray that the rain could be finished as soon as possible.

"Shank you, Wen Cheng asked someone to prepare some fire boats and logs, I hope it will be useful at that time..." Fan Wencheng said that the Later Jin did not have the trick to deal with the warships, that is, to make some small boats and some wood, and release them when other people's ships arrive. It is a one-time transaction.

"Well..." Huang Taiji fell into pain.

"Well, Khan, whether Mao Wenlong's reinforcements can come up this time depends on God's intention. If there is no strong enough wind, it will be difficult for Mao Wenlong's warships to come up... Just a few centipede ships, I'm not afraid of how much he can transport..." Fan Wencheng finally said this.

"Well..." Huang Taiji just said no, which was considered a reply.

...

After discussing for a long time, a drizzle began to fall outside the tent.

Huang Taiji had enough estimates about Mao Wenlong's reinforcements and determined that they would definitely come. However, Huang Taiji had no good idea about how to deal with reinforcements. He was hesitating, so hesitating that it was raining. He was still hesitating whether the troops on the island of Jiangxin should avoid it. If it was avoided, it was obvious that it would be impossible to block the river surface. If the river could not be blocked, Mao Wenlong's reinforcements could easily reach Zhenjiang Fort. Such efforts over the years were in vain.

However, don’t give up Jiangxin Island, as Fan Wencheng said, are you squatting there and being beaten? This is based on the speculation that Mao Wenlong has not many cannons. If Mao Wenlong has enough cannons, then squatting in Jiangxin is really waiting to die. The people in Jiangxin may be able to disperse, but if the house collapses, will it be like a chicken falling in the rain?

Facing these problems, Huang Taiji was very difficult to make a decision and was hesitant. Fan Wencheng felt that he had said everything he should say and thought of everything he could think of. As for the rest, it depends on how Huang Taiji made the decision and was waiting for Huang Taiji there quietly.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent!

"Report..." a burst of anxious shouts.

Huang Taiji hurriedly drank: "What's the matter?"

A knight was wet all over came in outside. He walked along the way, and the sweat was still dry and clean, dragging it out all the way.

"Report! Khan, a large group of Ming Dynasty warships came downstream of the river, densely packed, large and small, afraid there were hundreds..." The knight quickly fell to the ground and reported his important information.

Huang Taiji's heart skipped a beat, and the situation was much more serious than he had expected.

"Tell me clearly, how many warships are there? Or are they all warships? Are they one hundred, two hundred, or three hundred? What size warships are they? Is it a good wind now?" Huang Taiji asked sternly.

"After the khan, according to the observation of the slave, there are warships in the front, no less than forty large or small. The ships behind are probably not warships, but many of them also have cannons... The khan, the slave is in a hurry to come back, so I don't know how many ships there are behind. I guess it's at least two hundred, and those ships are all flying. It's probably not long before they can arrive in Linjiang Village..." The knight did not dare to wipe the water beads on his face. When he heard the knight's questioning, he immediately told what he saw.

Huang Taiji pinched his palm and secretly complained that this Ming Dynasty made hundreds of ships rescue at one time. The size of the fleet made Huang Taiji, who had never seen a sea boat, feel a little daunting. A few days ago, the two "big warships" collided with his team crossing the river. That kind of scene shocked Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji walked back and forth in the tent of Khan, and hesitated even more whether to withdraw the troops on Jiangxin Island, or not?
