Chapter 714 Entering Shanhaiguan
Youji is the first pass from the east, connected to the sea and pillowed by the green mountains.
The Great Wall is divided into upper and lower parts from far away, and the bright moon and cold waves come and go together.
Shanhaiguan is the first pass at the eastern starting point of the Great Wall. It is surrounded by mountains and the sea. It is a majestic pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The perimeter of the pass is about eight miles, and its size is no less than that of some large cities in the pass.
When Wu Shigong looked at this magnificent pass, his first impression was that he was like the hostess of a modern food show, stuffing food in her mouth without being able to tell the difference between sweet, sour, bitter and spicy. She could only say: "Yummy! Yum!". But now.
Wu Shigong felt that Shanhaiguan was "so big! So big!" It was difficult to describe his feeling in words.
The Zhenyuan Tower facing Wu Shigong's east gate of Guan City is also known as the No. 1 Guan City Tower in the world. On this tower, there is a large plaque with black characters on a white background, which reads five characters - The No. 1 Guan City Tower in the world. And surrounding it
There are overlapping military buildings such as Jingbian Tower, Linlu Tower, Wengcheng, and Dongluo City built around Zhenyuan Tower. Moreover, Guancheng is located with Yanshan Mountain in the north and Bohai Sea in the east, so the defense system is quite complete.
At this time, Wu Shigong was completely immersed in the mentality of traveling. He came to a tourist attraction, and it was a tourist attraction that had not been damaged by later generations. This gave Wu Shigong a feeling of excitement like visiting ancient times.
.In addition, the scenery in Shanhaiguan is really good. The Yanshan Mountains to the north are lush and green, and the Bohai Sea to the east is rippling blue waves. Even though Wu Shigong felt a sense of comfort in embracing nature, it also made Wu Shigong feel that he had saved a lot of money on travel tickets.
Seeing his elder not moving for a long time, just watching Guan Lou constantly stroking his hands and praising him, Yu Ji, who thought he understood Wu Shigong's thoughts, immediately approached him and said, "Sir! According to what I saw, although this Guan City looks like
Yes, a frontal attack will cost a lot of lives, but as long as we attack the peaks of Yanshan Mountain, and then pull up the artillery of our Runing army, and bombard them for a long time, we will beat the Guan army without fighting spirit. The city wall is in ruins, and after an attack
We can capture Shanhaiguan once we reach the city. It is not difficult to solve the problem, it just takes some effort and time."
Wu Shigong was dumbfounded as he listened to Yu Ji burning the harp and cooking the crane. He felt as if he had swallowed a fly. He was admiring the beautiful scenery, but he was thinking about destroying it. After being hurt internally for a while, Wu Shigong finally uttered two words: "
You bastard!" Then he walked towards the city gate without looking back.
Yu Ji was confused by the scolding, but he also knew that he was flattering the horse. In order to make up for it, he immediately grabbed Chi Ming, who was about to follow Wu Shigong into Guancheng, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Chi
Brother! Did you say something wrong? You must teach me a lesson, thank you in advance."
Chi Ming rolled his eyes at Yu Ji with disdain and lectured: "Brother Yu! What do you think you are doing? Your Excellency is both civil and military, and he is a scholar. If he had not been bullied out of Beijing by the imperial court, he might have won the first prize and married.
Princess. Just now, my lord was about to write a poem. He was just thinking of a few sentences when he was interrupted by you. Do you think your lord will be angry?"
Chi Ming's extreme personal admiration for Wu Shigong was combined with folk rumors, the influence of drama, and his imagination. This led to a logical conclusion.
When Yu Ji heard this, he felt that Chi Ming's statement was quite reasonable. So he immediately slapped his thigh and regretted it, and then he was so excited that he decided to take action.
Seeing that Wu Shigong was about to walk away, Yu Ji immediately shouted: "Sir! I'm going to prepare my pen and ink immediately. Your Excellency, please wait for me..."
…
After passing the city gate road that was more than ten feet long, and then passing the Wengcheng, Wu Shigong and the others finally entered the Shanhaiguan City. There was a counselor from the governor-general's shogunate, Hong Chengchou, a local sixth-grade civil servant from Liaodong, and a local general stationed at Shanhaiguan.
.Accompanied Wu Shigong into Guancheng.
This reception standard was quite reciprocal, and Wu Shigong was not left out. But Wu Shigong always felt that it was too reciprocal. He came as a guest army to support the Liaodong campaign, and he was personally ordered by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, so Liaodong's
Officials should be more hospitable no matter what. But the current rather routine reception always makes people feel a little cold from the civil and military officials of Liaodong.
In fact, Wu Shigong didn't know that the reason why Hong Chengchou sent out such a reception lineup was because of the painstaking efforts he took. Of course, Hong Chengchou welcomed the help of the powerful force of Runing Army, and with Wu Shigong, a fierce general, joining him, he was also sure of the Qing army's victory in the battle.
Three points added. Not to mention that Hong Chengchou himself admired Wu Shigong quite a lot.
But now Hong Chengchou is the governor of Jiliao. He already has nine generals under his command, so he cannot treat each of them favorably. In addition, the local Guanning cavalry generals have a bad relationship with Wu Shigong. Therefore, Hong Chengchou
Therefore, we cannot provide an extra-standard reception for fear of causing discord in the military.
"General Wu! Your subordinate will arrange for someone to take your troops to the military camp in the north of the city. The camps, ditches and water collection there have been arranged for you. Today's hot meal and hot water are also ready for your troops. Mr. Wu
I'd better follow the officer to your residence in the city first and wash up. The superintendent will arrange a welcome banquet for you tonight." Zhang Counselor of the governor-general's shogunate said with his hands.
It is definitely impossible for so many Runing troops to be arranged in Guancheng. Therefore, the large group of troops will pass through Guancheng and arrive at the camp arranged by Hong Chengchou, two miles north of Guancheng. This is not a response to the Runing army.
All the transferred general soldiers will be treated differently, and they will not be stationed in the city. Otherwise, there will not be so many places to place them, and it may cause conflicts between different armies, so Wu Shigong also does not like this arrangement.
Not opposed to it.
For military commanders like Wu Shigong, their treatment is very good. Although it is impossible to set up a temporary general military office for them in Shanhaiguan Pass City, the wealthy businessmen in the city are "encouraged" to donate their houses and arrange for Wu Shigong and other general soldiers to move in.
That is absolutely no problem. And as long as Wu Shigong and other generals are in Liaodong, these houses will always be used by them.
But after Wu Shigong heard this, he immediately frowned. He was unwilling to trap himself in Guancheng. Wu Shigong himself had been assassinated and was also threatened by Shang Fang's sword in military discussions. Now his relationship with the imperial court was different.
Not good, so at this time, he is absolutely unwilling to leave the protection of his own army.
So Wu Shigong smiled, bowed his hands, and excused himself: "Thank you for your trouble, sir! But I came to Liaodong to fight, and I have to share the joys and sorrows with my sons, so from now on I will live in the barracks and give me my house, so forget it.
