"What is Zug doing? I have to make the decision on everything, so what does he do as a commander? Tell him that as long as the goal is basically achieved, he can make his own judgment on the changes in the plan! If he continues to be so mother-in-law, let him go back
Go home and take the baby!" Wu Shigong threw away the urgent report from Zug and said impatiently.
Wu Shigong has been in a bad mood these past few days. When he led his people to Xinye County, he and Yu Zilian have been in a stalemate.
When King Guabei and Yao Liang led the troops out of the city, they formed a formation to occupy the city and fight the Ruzhou Army. Suddenly, his flanks were attacked by "friendly forces", and the Ruzhou Army also took advantage of the situation and rushed into King Guabei.
Fortunately, King Guabei was also an old rebel leader. He reacted quickly and ran away immediately. But he only escaped alone. The number of peasant troops who escaped with King Guabei was less than a thousand.
But before the battle was over, Yao Liang took his troops and retreated into Xinye County. Yao Liang thought very clearly: Although he had some friendship with Yu Zilian, when snatching the spoils, friendly troops would also become enemies.
Army, not to mention that there were so many refugees who took refuge with Yao Liang, and they might be killed by the Ruzhou Army for military merit.
In this regard, Yu Zilian's reaction was a bit slow. When he discovered Yao Liang's unusual movement, Yao Liang had already pressed close to the city gate and was ready.
So the negotiations between Yu Zilian and Yao Liang began. First, Yu Zilian used his official position to press the order: let Xinye County open the city gates, and let Xinye County Magistrate enter the city to regain control of the county.
Yao Liang could not refuse this very reasonable request. He could only delay the arrival of Magistrate Xinye into the city by using the excuse of "waiting for orders from above!"
In this regard, Yu Zilian was also a little helpless. Although his relationship with Wu Shigong was very bad, Yu Zilian did not want to fall out with the Runing Army. Besides, in order to consider the marching speed this time, the Ruzhou Army did not carry any siege equipment. So it was also
You cannot attack the city directly.
So over time, the matter was delayed. Yao Liang did not dare to offend Yu Zilian too much, so he also transported nearly a thousand dan of grain outside the city as a reward for Runing's army.
But when Wu Shigong arrived, Runing's army was unavoidable. When the negotiations began, Wu Shigong found himself in a very passive situation.
Logically speaking, the food and supplies in Xinye County belong to the Xinye locality, and the only one who can dispose of them is the magistrate of Xinye. But now Yu Zilian controls the magistrate. Besides, whether the magistrate should be held accountable for abandoning the city and fleeing.
They are all in Yu Zilian's pen, so now Yu Zilian is a bit like "holding the emperor to order the princes". He proposed that the food in Xinye County should be given to the Ruzhou army at least 30,000 shi.
Of course Wu Shigong refused to give up the meat he had already eaten, but it was unrealistic to give the Ruzhou Army some food without dividing the profit. Therefore, Wu Shigong's bottom line was to give the Ruzhou Army 10,000 shi of food.
But a problem arises at this time: If the relationship between these two people is acceptable, they can sit down and bargain calmly to reach an agreement. But these two people have old grudges, so neither one is willing to meet the other and be abused.
.Therefore, the person who passed the message between the two people ran away and broke his leg.
But Wu Shigong could not stay in Xinye County indefinitely, because in this way he would be inexplicably restrained by Yu Zilian to teach a regiment and a cavalry battalion of the legion. In addition, Wu Shigong was not responsible for this matter. If he waited until
After the court learned about it and issued an order, Wu Shigong would suffer no matter what. So Wu Shigong was feeling a little irritable these days.
As for Wu Shigong's personal expedition, Chug must have moved the focus of Runing's army to Wu Shigong, in order to ensure Wu Shigong's safety. Therefore, the plan made before the war also had to change a lot. But Chug did not dare to make a decision on his own.
, so he kept asking Wu Shigong for instructions, but Wu Shigong, who was in a bad mood, was used as a scapegoat.
The big tent was also silent, and Wu Shigong knew that his inexplicable anger was unreasonable. So he waved his hand and asked everyone in the big tent to leave.
But at this moment, a soldier came in and reported: "Sir! Master Yu has arrived in front of the camp. He asked you to come out of the camp to discuss."
Wu Shigong immediately let out a long sigh, then Yu Zilian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he finally had a step to step down!
When two people in military uniforms met each other on horseback outside the camp, they both bowed their hands in a perfunctory salute, and then became silent. No one was willing to say the first word. This scene also seemed very strange.
.
It was Yu Zilian who couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't waste any words and said, "Give me twenty-five thousand dan!"
"Fifteen thousand stones at most!" Wu Shigong also gave in, hoping to resolve the current stalemate as soon as possible.
Yu Zilian hummed, and without saying a word, he took out a few pieces of paper and asked the soldiers around him to send them to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong took them and took a look, and his pupils suddenly gathered.
These pieces of paper are the latest battle situation and orders issued by the imperial court.
In May, Huang Taiji sent Azig as the commander, together with Beile Abatai and Yangguli Mining, from Diaoyubao into Chang'an Mountains. After that, they divided their troops in several groups and headed straight for Yanqing Prefecture, starting the first entrance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
battle.
This time the Manchus entered the border completely beyond the expectations of the Ming Dynasty court and the border customs, because in the past, the northern barbarians invaded the border in autumn and winter, which was also determined by the grazing laws of the nomadic people.
Therefore, it can be seen from this sudden entry that Huang Taiji has achieved initial results in the national construction of the Qing Dynasty, and can already rely on its own production to supply the army's expedition.
Therefore, the unsuspecting Ming Dynasty's border gates and military towns were in chaos, and Yanqing Prefecture was about to be destroyed. Yanqing Prefecture was one hundred forty or fifty miles northwest of Beijing, and there was a smooth road to the capital, so the court
He immediately closed the city gates of the capital, consolidated the city's defenses, and issued King Qin's order to all directions.
The armies in other places have their own tasks and cannot be moved in a big way. The Shandong Ming Army in Henan, which is relatively peaceful now, is within the scope of this mobilization. Of course, the Runing Army, which has not had any prominent battles in recent times, is also included.
on the call list.
What's even more ominous is that Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army is not on the list of mobilized troops this time because they want to encircle and suppress the peasant army.
Therefore, if Wu Shigong continued to delay like this, he would really miss something important. So Yu Zilian took advantage of this good opportunity to meet with Wu Shigong in person to put pressure on him.
As a civil servant with direct contact with the imperial court, Yu Zilian has this information advantage. Therefore, in any era, information is the most valuable! (To be continued...)
