In mid-January of the third year of Chongzhen.

The ice on the sea began to melt.

By the end of the month, the ship can be started.

By the end of the second month, Qin Liangyu's men had already boarded the ship in Jinzhou, and all arrived at Sancha River 1, Yingkou 1, by sea.[]

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town team is already ready. The horse team is still mainly used for the troops to be dispatched this time. Their mission is still to serve as Qin Liangyu's horse team.

Also coming was the new Liaodong Governor Hong Chengchou. He also brought Jinning's cavalry and still served as Qin Liangyu's cavalry, just like the last mission.

Although Man Gui also acted as a horse team, his horse team was different from the two horse teams above. These two were added to the extra horse team, and were temporarily organized to deal with the Donglu. In fact, Man Gui's horse team, like the Baigang Soldier, is actually a member of the new army.

This is not the first time Qin Liangyu has been here in Sanchahe. She has been here last year. This year, there have been great changes here. Last year, it was still invented and everything is very simple. When I come here again this year, it has been quite large. The docks, houses, towering watchtowers, and city towers. All of this shows that this is a military fortress. The emergence of all this has a bit of change in the past in just one year.

Watching the ships in the distance shuttle and docking, unloading various supplies, and then leaving, the ships behind can no longer wait to be picked up. This busy scene gives people the first feeling of the wealth and power of the Ming Dynasty.

The tens of thousands of people under her command were transported from Jinning to the Sancha River in just a few days, and they experienced the strength of the Ming Dynasty. The white-rod soldiers under her command have now changed a lot, which is very different from before.

Now, the white-rod soldiers under her command can no longer be called the white-rod soldiers. They should be called the white-rod soldiers of the car camp. The horses, chariots, cannons, and * are all equipped with newly developed four-wheeled carriages. The vehicles are light and flexible and have a large load capacity. They have completely gotten rid of the weaknesses of the white-rod soldiers who were defending in the past. The army now is a strong army that can be attacked and retreated and defended. It can be said that it has reached the extreme and is a first-class strong army on land. This army is prepared to deal with the eastern captains who are about to flee west to the grassland.

"Lin'er, what's the situation everywhere?" Qin Liangyu asked when he saw his son Ma Xianglin coming.

"Mom, everything is fine. It's not the first time I've been here. I'm still adapting, eating full and dressing warmly, and I'm determined to kill my shoes," Ma Xianglin replied immediately.

"Okay, now my white pole soldier has completely replaced the equipment and turned into a chariot camp. This tactic and equipment are very different from before. Although I have been training for a long time, the battle is imminent. I still have to hurry up and try to familiarize myself with the battle of this chariot camp as much as possible." Qin Liangyu said.

Relying on the chariot camp and equipped with a cavalry to sweep the grassland, this has always been Yang Jing's first idea. However, in the first Sanchahe Battle, the tactics of the chariot camp were not used, but the infantry phalanx tactics that the white bars were more familiar with. The reason was simple. The carriage manufacturing technology at that time did not reach the state that Yang Jing wanted. Although there were also carriage camps, they were all old-fashioned chariots, which were far less flexible and light than four-wheeled carriages. Therefore, although there were carriage camps, Yang Jing did not dare to take the risk of using carriage camps rashly.

In the first battle of Sanchahe, the Baigang Bing was newly arrived in the capital. The Cheying Camp's tactics have not been tested in actual combat for many years. It is not clear that they are still in the recovery stage of experiments. The tactics and tactics are mature. Yang Jing did not dare to let the Baigang Bing who had just contacted the Cheying Camp change their tactics rashly change their tactics. The risk is too great.

The first Sancha River Battle was only to understand the siege of Songshan Fort and open up the Sancha River battlefield. It only required offshore combat. It did not think about going deep into the inland to attack the Donglu City and the old nest, and did not require long-distance combat. Therefore, it was still enough to use the infantry phalanx that the white pole soldiers were good at to fight the enemy, which was enough to achieve the desired goal.

The second battle of Sanchahe was completely different. The strategic intention was to fight the old lair of Donglu, and then chase into the grassland and sweep across the grassland. This long journey, relying on two tui to fight, is obviously not possible. In addition, the technology of the four-wheeled carriage has matured, and the new chariot battalion can be rebuilt with the new four-wheeled carriage technology, which can greatly increase the efficiency of the chariot battalion: in addition, the white-bar soldier has more time to train new tactics. Therefore, when Qin Liangyu came to Sanchahe again, the white-bar soldier under his command has completely changed and has become a super white-bar soldier in the chariot version.

"Don't worry, mom, the child has already given instructions and is now stepping up the drill." Ma Xianglin replied.

"That's good. I'm going to come soon. I'll participate in the discussion of war. Remember to learn more about it..." Qin Liangyu said again. She arrived in Sancha River from Jinning. In fact, the chariot camp set out from the capital. She drove the chariots all the way from the capital to Jinning. The continuous chariots and strict military disciplines really caused a sensation. It was to show the strength of the court to the world and the border troops. It was also a field drill for them. On the way, they were basically moving forward in an offensive manner, and they thought they were chasing the Donglu on the grassland. They were quite experienced. When they arrived at Sancha River, they immediately devoted themselves to training. New experiences and experiences must be practiced to be integrated.

"Don't worry, my mother, I understand..." Ma Xianglin said.

Before Chengzong was in the capital for the New Year, he became the commander of the Nine Borders, so he began to inspect the border troops in Jixuan. In addition to inspecting and rectifying combat preparations, he also gathered a group of border troops as mobile forces to cooperate with the new army's operations. In addition to dealing with matters related to the border troops, he also had to assemble, allocate, deal with, and promise the Imperial Army. After handling these two ends, he followed the border to Jinning, appeased and encouraged Jinning's official army, and then went to Sanchahe River to meet with Qin Liangyu. Although they both left the capital at the same time, Qin Liangyu arrived in Sanchahe River for several days first.

Sun Chengzong did not hold a meeting on the warship this time.

When we arrived at Sancha River, we got ashore. The current situation was very different from last year. The Ming Dynasty had an advantage. Sancha River had already become quite large and became a fortress. It was much safer than last time. It was going deep into the inland this time, so the emperor "allowed" him to go ashore.

Sancha River is now a large barracks, with official troops everywhere.

Supervisor.

His main task was to hold a pre-war meeting just after reaching Sanchahe. He had just arrived at Sanchahe. He would immediately coordinate and handle the relationship between all parties on the spot, handle the situation nearby, and decide on emergencies.

This supervisory headquarters was temporarily renovated and not very luxurious. The Biaochengzong did not have high requirements for other places, but the war room had relatively high requirements. The most important requirement was to be large, and it could place various utensils, such as sand tables, and cabinets for storing various materials.

In the war room, except for Hong Chengchou who is a newcomer, they are almost all from last year. They are very familiar with each other. They have cooperated with each other and are quite emotional. When they meet, they can’t help but greet each other. Since they are acquaintances and comrades-in-arms, they trust each other and are full of confidence in the second Sanchahe Battle.

Mao Wenlong looked at the young Liaodong Governor and looked at the new Liaodong Governor. He was not in harmony with Yuan Chonghuan. This was an open matter. Although he had fought together, he still had grudges in his heart. Now Yuan Chonghuan has gone to the capital to serve as the Minister of War and replaced it with a new Liaodong Governor. He heard that it was chosen and trained by the emperor himself, and it was the imperial party. Mao Wenlong felt that this time might be better than the last time. He just didn't know whether this young Liaodong Governor was reliable in his work. Don't be a literati problem again. If that were the case, the emperor would have made a bad move. When Mao Wenlong thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou more.

Hong Chengchou also felt Mao Wenlong's gaze, and returned with a smile. His official position, in terms of power and authority, could control Mao Wenlong, but in fact, Mao Wenlong's official position was much higher than him, and Hong Chengchou did not intend to really control Mao Wenlong. It was no longer easy for him to become the governor of Liaodong. It was not easy for him to be too extravagant. He only hoped that this time, he would cooperate with the elders to fight this battle well. His position in the emperor's mind or in the court would be truly stable.

Mao Wenlong was laughing with Hong Chengchou's kindness and remembered another thing. A few days ago, the capital had a hot discussion about this person's remarks on strengthening military control outside the pass. Mao Wenlong suddenly thought of this and was full of curiosity about the young Liaodong Governor. If it was really the young Liaodong Governor's own thoughts, it means that this young man is not simple and has a gaze that ordinary people do not have: if it was instructed by the emperor, it also means that at least he is an obedient person. Through this incident, Mao Wenlong felt that this young Liaodong Governor might be indeed a good partner and would not commit the problems that the stinky literati in the Ming Dynasty liked to make. The victory of this war should be unquestionable.

Mao Wenlong always believed that if it weren't for the constraints of the literati within the Ming Dynasty, the Donglu would have been pacified and there would be so many troubles there. Seeing Hong Chengchou's kind response, Mao Wenlong also smiled rarely, as if he had accepted this new "teammate".

"I believe you all know the strategic goals of this war, so this cabinet will not be tiring. I just hope that you will unite and live up to Your Majesty's trust and earn a chance for my Ming Dynasty..." Bie Chengzong was also quite moved. From Wang, Ji, Jinning to Sanchahe, it took so long to go on. His expectations for this war are self-evident. He knows what the emperor thinks and what he is worried about. This time he said this a bit.

"The old man is so serious. We should fight to fight the enemy bravely and live up to your majesty's trust." Everyone said quickly.

"good!

General Ma arrives first, so General Ma will introduce the situation here." Sun Chengzong said again that the people here are all big men who lead the troops, and Ma Xianglin can't actually get in. However, Qin Liangyu won this opportunity for him, and Sun Chengzong also gave this opportunity to let Ma Xianglin look lustful in front of everyone.

"Yes, Master... Now the sea surface of Sancha River has been opened, and various combat preparation materials are being received on a large scale, from food, weapons, and equipment to hoard. The food and supplies required for this war are abundant, and the government troops everywhere have also gathered in place. Because this war is deep into the inland and into the grassland, the tactics are different from before, and they are fighting in the chariot camp. Now, there are step-by-step drills everywhere to make the final running-in before the war." Ma Xianglin began to introduce the latest developments in Sancha River.

Don Chengzong nodded while listening. Although Jinning and Mao Wenlong's cavalry also conducted drills for the chariot battalion, in the second half of last year, in addition to suppressing the Donglu and covering the battlefield, they were training this new tactic. Of course, training is training, and actual combat is still in cooperation with the White-Steel Warrior Warrior Warrior Battalion under Qin Liangyu, so it has to be re-worked. I heard that I have been practicing and running in. Sun Chengzong nodded. Now, it is still time to take advantage of the fact that it is still necessary to strengthen the running in this area.

Mao Wenlong, Hong Chengchou, Man Gui and others were listening carefully.

"...As far as we know about the situation of the Eastern Barbarians, there are only one flag-like men, less than 10,000. The banner owner is Amin. Because he was suppressed by our Ming Dynasty, he only dared to hide in the Haizhou Acropolis and did not come out. He seemed to have no intention of a decisive battle with our Ming Dynasty..." Ma Xianglin continued to explain.

Sun Chengzong nodded again. Everyone listened seriously.

"Where is the chief of the throne? Didn't you come?" Don't Chengzong asked.

"Return to the Pavilion Master, according to the spy's return, he didn't seem to come. He seemed to be still concentrating on dealing with Lin Danhan......" Ma Xianglin replied.

"Oh, that's right!" Sun Chengzong nodded. This is indeed in line with the deduction. According to the probability of deduction, even if the Donglu wanted to fight to the decisive battle, they would not be chosen near Sancha River. At least they had to wait until the Ming Dynasty's official army went deep into the inland before finding a way to fight to the decisive battle, or to make food and grass, or to cut off the back road, which was disturbed. However, Sun Chengzong was not afraid of going deep into the inland this time. Last year, the Ming Dynasty had no strategic intention to go deep into the inland, nor did he need to go deep into the inland, nor could he go deep into the inland. This time it was different. All

They are all newly equipped chariots. With chariots, the speed of traveling greatly increases. If a day is forced to march, it can reach a hundred miles. If the Donglu does not want to be under the city, they must intercept the Ming Dynasty's official army within a few days and prepare for a decisive battle. Otherwise, once the Ming Dynasty's troops are under the city, it will be a result of breaking the city. The Ming Dynasty relied on the chariot camp and brought enough food and was not afraid of being out of food in a short period of time. What the Donglu can really do is to continue to delay the progress of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it is foreseeable that the main force does not come to Sanchahe.

"Go back to the Pavilion Master, yes, according to the spies' response, in the second half of last year, the Eastern Barbarian Chiefs were targeting Lin Dankhan, and they had never come to my Liaodong. I think it was the Eastern Barbarian who wanted to escape west," said Ma Xianglin.

"Oh, hehe, is that right? In the opinion of General Ma, what should I do in the Ming Dynasty now?" Bi Chengzong said with a smile. Ma Xianglin is Qin Liangyu's son. Bi Chengzong also has a good impression of this young man. He has the opportunity to cultivate him, so he is not stingy.

"I will return to the Pavilion Master. I thought that my Ming Dynasty should go north and go straight to Haizhou Guards, take the Haizhou Guards in one fell swoop, and use the Haizhou Guards as the support for the army's advance..." Ma Xianglin immediately said with great interest, obviously, he had strong confidence in his idea.

When Bi Chengzong heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Yes, the Donglu did not mean to fight our army in the near sea. Haizhou Acropolis is only a hundred miles away from Sancha River. Our army can indeed suddenly reach Haizhou Guard and catch Donglu off guard." Bi Chengzong agreed with this statement. In fact, the General Staff Department meant this. The Ming army equipped with chariots could indeed reach a hundred miles a day without intercepting it. Moreover, due to the fact that the battlefield was covered, it could reach closer places to prevent the Donglu from discovering it...
