979 The big picture
When Huang Taiji received the first group of old and weak who had entered North Korea safely, and had passed Tieshan, and was almost at Seoul, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that all the previous preparations were useful.
Thinking of this, he issued an order, and the second wave of old and weak set out again to Seoul, North Korea. Then, the third wave, the fourth wave... The Qing Dynasty's move to relocate old and weak must be completed before the Ming Dynasty came to its senses. Therefore, this requires the movement to be fast.
So, from Tongyuan Fort, Phoenix City, Tangzhan Fort, and Zhenjiang Fort, to Shinyiju, North Korea, and to the official road of Seoul, countless old and weak people, with limited food, left their hometowns and left their hometowns.
Along the way, the elderly and weak were constantly eliminated, starving to death but exhausted, but helpless. On both sides of the official road, the dead people were buried early, attracting many wild dogs and digging soil to eat people.
Yue Tuo, the leader of the Inlaid Red Flag, personally led his troops to escort the old and weak in the Inlaid Red Flag to North Korea. Along the way, seeing all kinds of tragedies, he had no choice but to accept the reality. If Liaodong had enough food, he would not have to go to North Korea, and there would be no tribe who died on the way to migrate.
When they discussed this matter in Chongzheng Hall, the senior officials of the Jianlu had already made an estimate of this. Compared with the fact that the tribe members all starved to death in Liaodong, they could survive at least most of them when they went to North Korea, which was an acceptable price.
This major migration is based on the banner, giving priority to the Manchus themselves. After all, there is not much food in North Korea, and one person can live, one person can live. The first group of people who went to North Korea were Zhenghong Banners. Dai Shan, as the banner owner, was already a little older, so the escort was actually something that his son Yue asked to do on his behalf.
The Ming army controlled the Anshan Yibao and could attack Liaoyang at any time, so they had to send troops to garrison. What's more important is that Jianlu had no food left in his hands, because even if he sent troops to escort, he could not send many soldiers. Yue Tuo led a thousand people to complete the migration of the old and weak in the two flags. Once the troops were distributed, they could only guard against North Korean rebels and those wild dogs on the way.
Kaesong in Korea is not far from its capital, Seoul. It was the capital of the former Goryeo Dynasty. It was moved to Seoul in the first few years of the Li Dynasty. This Kaesong is an important town in Korea. Therefore, Dorgon also had heavy troops here. Among the old and weak Jianlu, only a small part of them were placed in Seoul, and most of the others had to settle in Kaesong first and then accept the arrangements. In other words, this migration of Jianlu took Kaesong as the end.
What everyone could not imagine was that on a mountain that was only about twenty miles away from the city, there was a unit secretly ambushed. Everyone had a war horse and was full of morale. The main flag was embroidered with the Chinese characters "Cabinet". This unit was nothing else, but it was the cavalry camp led by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai.
Judging from the camping situation, Lu Xiangsheng had obviously been stationed on this mountain for several days. In the camp, he looked in front of a map, pointing his fingers from time to time, thinking about something in his mind.
The petite Wei Mulan standing beside him was the petite Wei Mulan. However, compared to before, Wei Mulan in front of him seemed to have grown a little taller and had a little more heroic spirit.
"Master Zhongcheng, the new cavalry has been fully deployed, they are here..." Wei Mulan suddenly spoke, then skillfully stretched out her jade hand, pointed to several places on the map, and reported to Lu Xiangsheng, "This place, here, and the places responsible are already in place."
Lu Xiangsheng was delighted when he heard this, and then immediately asked, "Where is the Guanning Cavalry?"
"Wait!" Wei Mulan replied, and began to daze. Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew that she was going to contact Guanning Army.
The emperor knew the entire plan of Jianlu in advance, so he naturally would not make small fuss, but would make a big arrangement and prepare to deal with Jianlu once. Therefore, this operation was completed by the Dongjiang Army, the Xin Army and the Guanning Army.
On the entire migration road from North Korea to Liaodong, each of them was in charge and was responsible in sections. The existence of the chat group system and there was no problem with communication. We could do it together and take action to get rid of the entire Jianlu migration.
"Master Zhongcheng, Guanning Cavalry replied that they were a little late because they were afraid that Jianlu would find out." Wei Mulan came to her senses and immediately reported, "Now they are already moving quickly, and they will probably be able to reach their destination as planned tomorrow. At that time, they can do it together."
The Guanning Army is responsible for a section of the area in Liaodong, close to Chenyang. Relatively speaking, Jianlu has a relatively powerful force and there are many horses to explore in the wild. Although the Guanning Army is not stupid enough to ambush near Chenyang, even if it is far away from Chenyang, it is easier to be discovered by Jianlu than other sections of the road.
It is for this reason that in the joint operation of the three armies, Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry camp set out first, while Guanning Army was the last one to set out.
Therefore, when Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was not dissatisfied. He looked at the map and nodded and said, "It's so good. If you send the order, all the soldiers will have a good rest and take action on time tomorrow."
In fact, with the communication methods at this time, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t take action at the same time. After all, Jianlu’s transmission of enemy situation was delayed due to distance. But now the three armies have Tian-level Jinyiwei, so naturally they can do the best if they can do the best.
Although Lu Xiangsheng went deepest into the enemy territory, he entrusted Jianlu's blessing to make North Korea free of chickens, making the transition of the Cavalry Camp very smooth. He stayed not far from the city for a few days, but Jianlu still knew nothing.
After Lu Xiangsheng looked at the map, several generals under him came to command the war tomorrow against Liu Xingzhi, Mao Chengzuo and others.
Before their military negotiations were completed, suddenly one night rushed to the front of the army and rolled in and fell off the horse. He quickly walked to Lu Xiangsheng and reported: "Master Zhongcheng, thirty miles away, the banner of escorting Jianlu's old and weak Jianlu is Yue Tuo himself."
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was a little surprised and excited. He immediately asked, "How strong are the troops on his side?"
"When I go back to Master Zhongcheng, it seems that there are only personal guards around me." Ye Bushou was also excited. This was a big fish. "My comrades have gone forward to continue to investigate. If there is any situation, they will be rewarded immediately."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Xiangsheng heard this and said three times in a row, then looked at the map, asking Ye Bushou to mark the current location of Yue Tuo. After careful consideration, he started to assign tasks again.
Ye Bushang continued to investigate, and reported the news related to Yue Tuo to Lu Xiangsheng from time to time. Before he knew it, an operation to catch big fish was about to begin.
