The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 45: The army is sent to Shandong

Views:

"Military conditions are like fire, General Wang really cares about the people of Shandong! Haha!" Wang Huai'an didn't care about Zhu Youjian's rudeness. "The Japanese pirates used to have more than 2,000 people. After the Shandong army's fight, it is now less than 2,000. They are all samurai, using Japanese swords, fighting valiantly, and not afraid of death. Often a single charge can defeat a thousand families of our army. They do not occupy the city, but enter the city just to pillage. The Japanese pirates have now crossed Shouguang and entered. Qingzhou area." Wang Huaian’s grasp of the situation of the Japanese pirates is similar to Zhu Youjian’s conjecture, but his description is not salty or indifferent. People who don’t know think he is a reconnaissance company commander. He has nothing to do with him.

It's not that there is a relationship, it's a relationship, and he is a man of merit. There were originally more than 2,000 Japanese pirates. After fighting with the Shandong army, there are now less than 2,000. The few Japanese pirates lost are the Shandong army, which is the great feat of his Shandong army.

Qin Yongnian was secretly surprised when he heard that the situation of the Japanese pirates was so similar to that of Zhu Youjian's analysis. Zhu Youjian did not leave the capital, how could he know the specific situation of the Japanese pirates? Could he be able to predict the prophet? However, since the situation is the same as Zhu Youjian expected, Zhu Youjian's strategy for the Japanese pirates should be targeted, and he should be right to hand over the command of the army to Zhu Youjian.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't catch a cold with Wang Huai'an. Niang Xipi, Shandong's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by two thousand Japanese pirates, and he still said how many Japanese pirates were killed? I don't know if it is Wang Huaian's thick-skinned face or treating them as military officers who just came out of the mental hospital. "Zongbing Wang, Shandong has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and a mere two thousand Japanese pirates, how can they kill to the hinterland of Shandong?"

"This..." Wang Huai'an was speechless, wondering if it was because of his dark complexion. Anyway, Zhu Youjian and Qin Yongnian didn't see his complexion turn red, as he deserves to be the old Jianghu! He stared at Zhu Youjian, as if looking at an alien, his lips moved, perhaps forgiving Zhu Youzhen for being too young and not understanding the fighting power of the soldiers, he finally did not speak.

"Yeah, yeah." Lu Chunru coughed twice when he saw that the atmosphere was not right. He planned to make a round. Although he didn't care about the two low-level officers of the Fenwu Camp, at least they were reinforcements from the capital. Now the Japanese pirates have not been eliminated, Jinan The city is also dangerous. If Jinan City is broken by Japanese pirates, he, the governor of Shandong, will also have the responsibility of defending the land. Moreover, even if he can escape from the hands of the Japanese pirates, his floating wealth in Jinan City may not be kept. "It's getting late, General Qin, General Wang, both of you are tired and hungry? Let's talk while eating.

There were only four of them at the banquet. The Shandong chief envoy patrolled Laizhou and encountered a Japanese invasion. The city of Laizhou was broken and the chief envoy was unaccounted for. According to the prosecutor, the army was not concerned about military affairs, but the Shandong army was defeated. It was necessary to gather the routs scattered in various places. The general soldier Wang Huai'an had to make arrangements. To defend the enemy, you must stay on the front line, so Wang Huaian, the representative of the envoy, gathered the defeated soldiers outside and did not return, and the others couldn't reach the level.

Although the number of people is small, Lu Chunru is quite polite in terms of diet. In addition to the common chicken, duck, fish, beef and sheep, there is also a lot of seafood. Jinan is the capital of Shandong. It is located in the middle west of the Shandong Peninsula, quite far from the sea. Now the Japanese pirates are plundering the Shandong Peninsula again. I don't know where so much seafood came from.

Niang Xipi, Zhu Youjian secretly scolded him, saying that "the front is tight, the rear is tight" and you have lost the country. You Lu Chunru and Wang Huai'an are actually tight in the front, and the front is tight. There is really no reason for Daming not to subdue the country. How did the emperor's brother raise these moths

But now that the Japanese pirates are not extinct, Wang Huaian's cooperation is still needed, and Lu Chunru may need to allocate grain and grass. It is not time to settle the accounts, and Zhu Youjian suppresses the anger.

"Come on, General Qin and General Wang, you have come all the way, marching three hundred miles every day, for the people of Shandong, it is hard work, this officer respects you a cup and picks up the dust for the two generals." Lu Chunru took the lead, and Wang Huaian also raised it. Wine glass.

Obviously it was here to destroy the Japanese pirates and save the people. Now I haven’t seen the shadow of the Japanese pirates, but it seems like a triumph. Qin Yongnian's heart is very uncomfortable, but if he reaches out his hand and doesn’t hit the smiley person, the other party is still much higher than himself. The Wenchen, he and Zhu Youjian looked at each other, and still raised their wine glasses, and the four of them touched one.

"Zongbing Wang, the Japanese pirates didn't bring the siege equipment, did they? How did they break the city?" The smiling face and the alcohol obviously couldn't suppress Zhu Youjian's anger, although he also knew that the mildew of the soldiers was not a problem in Shandong province, but In Shandong, he was very annoyed with Shandong's military affairs. He hated the house and Wu, and even brought this ever-defeating general into his eyes.

He is not like Qin Yongnian. He is a prince, supported by the emperor, so he doesn't believe in a few local officials, and it's a big deal to reveal the identity of the king. As long as you can defeat the Japanese pirates, the identity of King Thaksin will be unveiled in Fenwuying sooner or later.

"This..." Wang Huai'an hesitated, this exquisite general soldier, now except for the word "no", it seems that he can't speak anymore. No matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't be embarrassed to say that running away from the wind is a brave fight for the first place.

The four of them talked a few words indifferently. When Zhu Youjian saw that he could never get any useful news again, he took Qin Yongnian to say goodbye: "Master Lu and Master Wang, saving the people is like fighting fire. Fenwuying will pay back tomorrow. To get up early and hurry, we will go back to camp and rest."

Fenwuying is a division of the capital. Although Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youjian are not as good as Lu Chunru and Wang Huaian, they are still independent leaders. They are not controlled by Lu and Wang. As for the exchange of military information, I'm sorry. When I arrived in Jinan, I had not received any news.

"Since the two are busy with military affairs, this officer will not keep you. This officer is here to wish the two generals victory and annihilate the Japanese pirates as soon as possible." Lu Chunru saw that the two of them could not urinate in the same pot, so they did not hold back, but stretched out. He stretched out his hand to give the two of them respectfully. They didn't even bother to leave their seats. It was Wang Huaian. Although Zhu Youjian had repeatedly ridiculed him, he still got up and sent Qin Yongnian and Zhu Youjian off.

Returning to the barracks, Zhu Youjian did not rest. He unfolded the map and immediately studied with Qin Yongnian how to wipe out the enemy.

"Master Commander, the east of Linzi County is a plain, without mountains and forests, which is the place to wipe out the enemy." Zhu Youjian pointed on the marching map and finally determined the main battlefield.

Linzi is Zibo, a little north to the west of Qingzhou Mansion. Zhu Youjian didn't want to hurt the people in the city when the Japanese pirates were annihilated. Therefore, the place for annihilating the Japanese pirates must be outside the city. There are no obstacles in sight outside Linzi City, which is a good place to ambush.

"In this way, Qingzhou will be destroyed by Japanese pirates. The people in the city..." Qin Yongnian believed that since the army has arrived in Jinan, he should protect Qingzhou, the important town of Shandong, as much as possible.

"I hope it will be time to save Qingzhou City." Zhu Youjian had already made calculations at the banquet, "Wang Mujiu?"

"Yes." Wang Mu Jiuyi stood up and came in from outside the account.

"You take the special forces, set off immediately, and rush to Qingzhou. If the Japanese pirates do not break the city, pass an order from the military camp and order the defenders to close the city gates and fight the enemy with all their strength. You personally command the first and second teams of the special forces. Assist the defenders in fending off the enemy and order the third team to quickly return news; if Qingzhou City has been broken by Japanese pirates, there is no need to enter the city, inquire about the news on the spot, and determine the further movement of the Japanese pirates, and try to attract the Japanese pirates to Linzi County." Zhu You Jian didn't know whether the Fenwu Camp's general orders could attack the defenders in Qingzhou City, but the Fenwu Camp's army had not arrived, so the dead horse had to be a living doctor.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Mujiu knew Zhu Youzhen's identity. He saluted a military salute, and then he ran away from the military account and was ordered to leave.

"My lord commander, the soldiers have already rested. Let them sleep well today, right? The soldiers are tired enough for the three-day march. Jinan will arrive in Linzi, less than two hundred miles, and they will be there tomorrow evening. If Qingzhou City Unbroken, you can reach Qingzhou at night, and you can’t see clearly at night, so you can use suspected soldiers to contain the Japanese pirates; if Qingzhou City is broken, you can lure the enemy to the east of Linzi City and enter the ambush circle.” Zhu Youjian also knew that Ci was not in charge, but After all, the training time of Fenwu Camp is not long, the personnel have not been rectified, and the oil in the army has not been eliminated. This is the first time most soldiers have left Beijing, so they cannot be put under too much pressure. Haste is not enough, and training must be done slowly.

"I've already said that this expedition is up to your Highness with full authority. However, I don't understand. Since Linzi City is east of the plain, without mountains and forests, how does Your Highness arrange ambushes?" Qin Yongnian felt that Zhu Youjian had subverted his own. For combat experience, you always have to arrange ambushes, either in dangerous places in mountains and rivers, relying on raised peaks and rocks to hide; or in dense forests, using trees and thorns to provide cover. I don't know how Zhu Youjian deployed ambushes in a plain without mountains, hills, trees and reeds.

"There is no need to arrange ambushes in advance." Zhu Youjian's words made Qin Yongnian more puzzled, but Zhu Youjian did not let Qin Yongnian guess the riddle, "If the Japanese pirates leave Qingzhou City, I will only harass them with a small group of cavalry. The Japanese pirates have always been arrogant and inevitable. I can’t retreat from the dead. My army headed east from Linzi, divided into the north and south, and assembled to the east. All soldiers in the Fenwu camp had war horses, and their marching speed was several times that of the Japanese pirates. They should be able to quickly intersperse and point directly behind the pirates, from north to south. Enclosed on three sides of the east."

That's why Qin Yongnian thought for a while and nodded lightly.

Early in the morning, Zhu Youjian was awakened by the crying outside. He faintly felt a bad feeling when he started doing it out of bed.

"Send Lingbing, go and see what happened." Zhu Youjian ordered while dressing. Isn't it the Japanese pirates coming? Did the Japanese pirates divide their forces? If the Japanese bandits divided their forces, the Fenwu camp would just be defeated individually.

"Yes." The soldiers ran out quickly, and ran back quickly, "Master Hui Tongzhi, last night, a few soldiers climbed the wall and entered the homes of the people in the city, insulting the daughter of a family in the city. The girl committed suicide, and now her The family carried the corpse to the barracks to make trouble."

"Boom." Zhu Youzhen was so angry that he slammed the washbasin to the ground. "These tofu have not been trained to get rid of the bad habits that disturbed the people. The messengers ordered the battalions to conduct a thorough investigation to see who did it."
