Chapter 520 Two Orders

It was the twelfth lunar month, and there were sea ice in Dengzhou and Incheon, which was even more windy and waves. It was extremely inconvenient for ships to go to sea. In this current situation, civilians had to be mobilized to smash troops and dig the sea every day to prevent the sea ice from damaging the ships docked in the port.

The defense line set up by Wang Hai at the junction of North Korea and Liaodong is still very safe. Of course, with the two small towns of Anzhou and Yanchuan, combined with fortifications with firearms, Duoduo and Oboi were drawn away by the army with a lot of strength. However, Wang Hai’s thousands of people cannot attack at present, they can only defend.

However, the news was sent back in mid-November. Including the time wasted on the sea route, this should be the situation of the North Korean garrison troops at the end of October.

The investigation of spies belonging to the Shandong Salt Gang system was really racking their brains. Although the area controlled by the Qing Tartars was attacked from both sides or even from all sides, the basic ambition was still there and the intelligence was not so easy to investigate.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, news came from Shanhaiguan with a fast horse, saying that the defense line built by the North Korean garrison was still safe and maintained in November. Almost 15,000 Han people have been recruited, all of which have been resettled with the help of the North Korean country.

What Li Meng was most worried about was this lonely army in North Korea. When the situation in North Korea was cut off in winter, the land route was not opened. If the Tartars launched a fierce attack without losing enough, the North Korean troops would be very dangerous.

Since there was nothing wrong there, Li Meng felt relieved. On the grasslands in western Liaoning, Mongolia had already stationed nearly 100,000 cavalry there.

The basin of the Linghe River is very close to Shengjing and Liaoyang. Although there is a heavy snowy land on the grassland, if such a force pounces on it, the Tartars will have to mobilize about 60% of the forces to resist, so they naturally dare not act rashly. Chen Yongfu and the others also knew that if they rashly drive all forces to attack, the seemingly powerful Mongolian tribes would fall apart like this.

Both of them were concerned about each other and restrained each other. In addition, Gao Di, the general of Shanhaiguan, who was blocked by Hebei General Zhang Jiang, and Wu Sangui, who was trained by Ningyuan regiment on the western Liaoning Corridor, were actually blocked by the Qing Tartars' possible strategy direction for the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Tartars were already enclosed in the area outside the pass, and it was impossible for them to enter the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time. Since the situation was so stable, Li Meng had no worries.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Duke of Qi issued an order about General Zhao Neng, the general of Denglai. The army expanded 20,000 troops. After the Yellow River could be passed through next year, 40,000 troops would go through the Yellow River and pass through Tongguan to quell the Dingli bandits' rebellion.

At present, the biggest thief Li Zicheng was injured by the vital energy of the beaten country in Henan. In Shaanxi, there were many refugees and many officers and soldiers. After so many people were plundering, no one was coming to make trouble. Now there were only a few big cities surviving. In addition, there were still some local local tyrant chiefs in Zhangye, Shaanxi. In fact, the situation was quite stable. Li Meng sent General Zhao Neng, the Denglai Army, to go there, but what else could he do besides occupying territory?

The border towns in Shaanxi and the Ming Dynasty have been in defense for three hundred years. Most of the time, the focus is on Shaanxi and Shanxi, but Liao Town has been peaceful for many years.

As long as Shaanxi is occupied, Shanxi, which is in the forefront of the mountains and rivers, may not be able to defend it. As long as Shaanxi and Shanxi are taken into the hands of Li Meng, Northern Zhili will be the one in his pocket.

Of course, Li Meng also has his own considerations. The Qingyan in Shaanxi has always been the best quality product in the private salt business. Lingshan Commercial Bank has never cut off this trade route and has a corresponding understanding of the situation in Shaanxi. The refugee army has taken away many young and strong men, and the officers and soldiers have taken away many border soldiers. Shaanxi is now extremely empty. If it weren't for the local tyrants in Zhangye, they still have some combat effectiveness, I'm afraid the tribes in West Mongolia would have rushed in to pick up the cheaper ones.

The same is true in Shaanxi and Henan. After these wars, a large number of unowned land will be vacant. This year, the scenery has recovered and the weather has gradually become normal. After a little operation of military farming, it will be a huge fortune.

The taxes of Xi'an Prefecture rank among the various prefectures in the Ming Dynasty, and such a piece of fat cannot be easily given to others.

If the Mongolian Turks in West Mongolia were allowed to invade, burn, kill and loot, and leave them a ruined land, and it would cost money and effort to pack them up, wouldn't that be worth it?

It would be better to take this opportunity to capture your troops. Sooner or later, we will have to arrange troops to occupy it. Shaanxi is connected to Sichuan and Hanzhong, so it will be much more convenient for the army to enter Sichuan, not to mention that it is already a very empty place in Shanxi.

The Duke of Qi also has the four great kings commonly known as the ones. General Zhao Neng, the general of Denglai, is the oldest, but his ability is very mediocre. He can complete the tasks assigned to him by Li Meng very well, but he must not change any changes he has. Of course, in many cases, it is enough to have such loyalty.

Now, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and other places, the only thing that can form resistance is some local troops of the Ming army. Jiaozhou camp has advantages in all aspects against such troops. Except for some of the Ming army who have an official status, those Ming army will surrender according to their own style. If they meet the Shun army, it will not work. It is a life-and-death enemy that cannot coexist between the two sides.

If Zhao Neng goes to these three places, his military operations will definitely go quite smoothly. Moreover, with Zhao Neng's personality, he will be safe first in handling local affairs. He will not cause any rebound for the three borders of Shaanxi, which are already surviving, and the trembling Shanxi and Sichuan provinces.

As Duke of Qi, Li Meng, as the leader of the Jiaozhou Camp system, he wanted to lead everyone forward. This was his goal, but he also had to balance the strengths under his command. Although everyone was loyal, ambition was not something that was born with a person, but that the various conditions of innateness and acquired nature were superimposed together.

If a person has too much power, he will inevitably have some unrealistic ideas, and Li Meng has been balancing this matter.

Chen Liu's army has expanded to 40,000, and Ma Gang's army also needs to expand accordingly. After the expansion of the army on both sides is completed, the two armies of Zhang Jiang of the Hebei Army and Zhao Neng of the Denglai Army can catch up with their one army. Moreover, Henan itself is a major province, and Shandong does not have any terrain advantages over Henan or convenient transportation.

Only by expanding Zhao Neng's military power and placing him in the Shaanxi area can we form a new balance for the already changing Jiaozhou Camp system.

Of course, these words cannot be said. They are all emperors' minds. They are too heartbroken, so everyone can know it.

After the announcement of this news, it was immediately sent to various Jiaozhou camps and yamen. With the current influence of Jiaozhou camps, this move was also publicized. What made people feel that they breathed was the official title that Li Meng added to Zhao Neng this time - General Shaanxi.

Although the general's name in the expedition to the west and Pingnan was similar or even the same as the general's name added to the Nine-Border Generals, they could still say "Mr. The Duke of Qi Li Meng is now awarding the title of Shaanxi General to his general. This is ambition that shows the world clearly.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of using place names before using generals. Li Meng's Duke of Qi was just the commander-in-chief of Lu, Henan, Hebei and Huai. Shaanxi was not within his defense scope, but he took over the military affairs of this place and awarded it to his generals.

After doing this, even a fool could see Li Meng's unjust intentions. This was clearly telling the world that the person who spoke now was not Emperor Chongzhen, but Li Meng, Duke of Qi.

After taking a breath of air, the people of the world reacted. Well, now the Duke of Qi has made a gesture. Those who want to place bets should also open their eyes and make clear statements.

After receiving the rush to send a message from the fast horse, the governor of Shaanxi Wang Yiping made a decision almost on the same day, saying that the Shaanxi area was unstable and that the Duke of Qi needed to send troops to pacify it.

Now the local officials in Shaanxi and Shanxi have made statements, and they are helpless. These two places are so chaotic that one dies. They don’t know that they have suffered for eight lifetimes. The court has photographed them here to suffer. Now that the refugees are destroyed, another bigger guy is coming.

Fortunately, Shandong soldiers and horses will not torture and kill people, and can give them a way out. Now they don’t express their support. When it’s too late to express their opinions, the Shandong army will not know what will happen.

The local tyrants in Shaanxi were acre of three-point land and no one could move, and they would not react. Moreover, the Tartars in West Mongolia are now giving them a headache. It would be good to be able to come over to share the pressure on them, not to mention Shanxi, the border soldiers in Datong were the mixed forces of thousands of infantrymen brought from Henan and an infantry regiment of Jiaozhou Camp. This is the strongest force in Shanxi.

Moreover, anyone in Shanxi who has some connection with the grasslands knows that the Tumote tribe, which is now like a giant beast, is actually controlled by Chen Yongfu. Now everyone understands that Chen Yongfu, the general of Datong, wore a pair of pants with the Duke of Qi. The news that his son was Li Meng's personal guard in Shandong gradually spread. This incident explained many problems. The so-called "loyalty and righteousness" halo on Chen Yongfu was also dispersed.

Some people scolded Chen Yongfu as a traitor in public and secretly, but Pingyao's massacre made everyone dare not act rashly, which brought about one consequence, that is, there are many young children from generals and military households in Jinan. These people want to go directly to serve in the personal military camp, which can be regarded as seeking a background with the Duke of Qi.

With such a clear situation, everyone's eyes were looking at Shandong, Jinan, and Li Meng. Only a few people with bad taste were still staring at the capital. Seeing how Li Meng had already achieved this, the "diligent and wise" Emperor Chongzhen should react.

I don’t know what Li Meng was thinking, it seemed like she was performing for the world. After only two days, the Duke of Qi’s Mansion issued another military order.

This military order is very simple. It was mobilized by the Shandong troops. There were many thieves in the Northern Zhili period and gathered people to loot in Hejian Prefecture several times. The Duke of Qi transferred 10,000 troops from Shandong headquarters into Shuntian Prefecture to suppress the bandits. Dacheng, Wen'an, Gu'an, Baodi, Wuqing, Dong'an, and Bazhou as the destination for the bandit suppression.

The reaction to this matter was quite strange, as if they didn't know about it at all. Everyone expressed their loyalty to Duke Qi and competed to make their own efforts to surrender.

The other side of Nanjing City is naturally miserable. After the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang learned the news, no matter how the emperor is, he can't help but be afraid and panic.

As for the eunuch Lu Jiude, the governor of Nanjing, and a group of civil and military ministers in Nanjing, they were all sad. Only the new Minister of Rites Liu Zongzhou shouted loudly there, saying that the thief was so powerful that we should cheer up and work hard to govern, increase our strength as soon as possible, and fight against the traitors.

But who would listen to him? Currently, Shandong maintains 20,000 troops from the Two Huai Army in Jiangbei. These more than 20,000 troops are not something that Lu Jiude can gather to fight. Even if he works hard to govern, it is difficult to collect taxes in this Jiangnan area. How can he fight?

The only bright one is Ma Shiying, the governor of the canal transport stationed in Fengyang. At this time of crisis, he volunteered to return to Nanjing to guard the country.

Although it is important to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, Nanjing is the key place now, and bringing troops back to guard the city is the best choice.

Civil officials are the rules passed down by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhu Cilang has arrived in Nanjing City and is so embarrassed, the rules that should be followed must be kept. Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo can lead troops, but this general makes people feel assured. But the civil officials are very smart. At this critical moment, who is willing to lead troops is almost a sure ending, and it is really unprofitable to offend the great god in Shandong.

Ma Shiying was also vaguely one of the leaders of Jiangnan Shilin. His performance has been a capable minister in recent years. When Qian Qianyi and others saw someone coming out to fight, they naturally supported him with full support. In addition, Ruan Dacheng didn't know what he was angry about, and he sprinkled silver to build momentum for Ma Shiying. He was naturally the one who was the Minister of War in Nanjing who also took charge of the military and horses everywhere. Lu Jiude was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one

These are the reactions of people around you. The real center of the vortex is the capital...

"Governor, Governor, it's not that young people don't do anything. The letter suddenly became everywhere like raining, and it was not clean at all."

Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, lost his temper in the Jinyiwei yamen. He knelt down below and kowtowed, but he explained it repeatedly.

The Shandong army was about to enter Shuntian Prefecture to suppress bandits, so it was naturally sent to the capital. The officials of the court, various yamen, military camps, and those who had a way to know the news, but the people still didn't know it. If the news spread, it would definitely be a mess.

But almost as the nobles learned the news, the streets and alleys of the capital were covered with notices, all of which were news that Shandong soldiers were about to enter Shuntian Prefecture to suppress bandits.

The people at the foot of the emperor could understand such news and naturally they could see the subtext behind the news. However, what surprised those wealthy characters was that the people in the capital were not panic or confusion, and they were very calm.

Shandong has been so frustrated over the years, and it is natural for the army to enter Shuntian Prefecture to threaten the capital. It is only now that it is a bit late to make such an explicit statement.

Hejian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture all have garrisons from Shandong. The military discipline is very good and the local construction is excellent. Such troops are not very disgusting. At least with Shandong's troops, the people in the capital no longer have to worry about the Tartars entering the pass and threatening the capital.

There are pronunciations all over the streets, but the contents on the pronunciations have become secondary. How much power does Shandong have in the capital? How can it mobilize so many people to post this thing?

The Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Shuntian Prefecture, Ministry of Justice, and the five cities of the military and horses were all extremely shocked and angry. Those big guys were still useful in the capital city. The police from all the yamen took action, but they were invited to the first day, and the next day they were posted all over the city.

This seems like a joke, but the reason why it can't cry in each yamen is simple. There are not enough servants in each yamen, and a large number of soldiers take their families out of the city to escape temporarily.

On weekdays, the yamen gates of the six or nine cities are filled with people. Often, there are more than thirty gangs under one job, and people cannot use them. But today, let alone the gangs below, even the regular gangs have gone to the countryside outside the city. Shandong is originally a member of the Ming system and has a good reputation. It is also very exciting to kill Tartars and refugees to do military farms. It is unlikely that everyone will support them wholeheartedly when they seize power, but it is unlikely that they will unite to resist the invasion of Jiaozhou Camp with the same hatred.

Isn’t there still 200,000 Beijing camps outside the city? Let these Beijing camps fight. The 200,000 candids who can’t even handle swords and guns will probably not win any battles. After the Shandong soldiers enter the capital and send an announcement on the people, we will come back.

But the things that make people laugh are not only in the city. After the military newspaper of the bandit suppression in Shuntian Prefecture of Jiaozhou was sent to the capital, the Beijing camp stationed outside the capital began to collapse. More than 200,000 soldiers, but as long as anyone with a brain understands, this is no match for the 10,000 soldiers in Shandong at all.

The Tatar army was more than 40,000, and it was destroyed in Hejian Prefecture. The Tartars fought against the Jing camp with 100,000 yuan in 100,000 yuan. The Jiaozhou camp had 10,000 troops and more than 20,000 Hebei soldiers. Isn’t it easy to destroy the Jing camp with more than 200,000 yuan?
