Chapter 750: Zu Dashou’s Wish

In Haizhou City, Liaodong, General Zu Dashou has been full of energy since the end of last year. In the past, he had never experienced that when fighting against the captives, he would be so eager to fight against the captives.

It's not that the Jianlu have become weaker. The Jianlu are still the Jianlu, but the Ming army is not the original Ming army. After the fusiliers were trained, under the leadership of a thousand veterans of the new army, the scouting battles began from small to large.

When fighting in Dali, nine out of ten times he would return victorious, which made Zu Dashou more and more courageous.

Zu Dashou had reason to believe that if Jianlu appeared again, as long as the difference in strength was not too far, he would definitely lead the army out of the city to fight in the field.

He is also a general who is experienced in military affairs, and he is well aware that the changes on the battlefield will be fatal to Jianlu. He believes that it will not be long before, under the leadership of Zhongxing Hou, the day of recovering Liaodong is not far away.

.

Perhaps Zu Dashou had his own little thoughts in the past, such as cultivating bandits and respecting himself, but that is absolutely gone now.

Because he was no longer the only capable Ming army in Liaodong, and there was someone above him that he did not dare to fool.

Zu Dashou's current idea is to do his best in the future war to exterminate the captives, strive for military glory, and secure a future for himself and his descendants.

Years ago, the Pili Brigade, which was directly under the command of Zhongxing Hou in the capital camp, suddenly arrived at Haizhou City and disappeared on the land of Liaodong after replenishing supplies. This made Zu Dashou realize that the war against the captives might start earlier than imagined.

Sure enough, not long after the Liaohe River thawed, he received a notice from the Clippers and immediately began to conduct battlefield shielding.

In other words, let Zu Dashou increase the intensity of the night harvest to prevent the appearance of captives in the wild.

For the sensitive Zu Dashou, he knew what was going to happen next.

So, he quickly sent out his fusilier brigade and drove Jianlu's detective horses back to Anshan Posthouse sixty miles away. There was no trace of Jianlu's detective horses in the Haizhou City area.

The Pili Brigade, which had disappeared for a long time, returned to Haizhou City a few days ago. Seeing the smiles on their faces, Zu Dashou guessed that what they were doing should go smoothly.

However, the people in the Pili Brigade didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask. Although his rank was much higher than the people in the Pili Brigade, the Pili Brigade was now directly under the control of Zhongxing Hou, and he had no right to ask for anything.

Not long after, the Ming army flying horses from Niuzhuangyi reported back, saying that Marquis Zhongxing had arrived with his army.

As the general of Haizhou City, Zu Dashou could not go out to greet them. Therefore, He Kegang, the representative, and the New Army guerrilla Huang Degong galloped to Niuzhuangyi.

Before arriving at the destination, I saw from a distance a dense number of ships parked on the Liao River, and the soldiers and supplies on board were being unloaded in an orderly manner.

While secretly marveling at the huge number, the two people hurried to see Marquis Zhongxing.

As a result, before they even got close, they saw Zhongxing Hou leading the death camp out of Niuzhuangyi and heading towards them.

The two of them quickly dismounted and stood on the roadside. When Zhong Jinwei's horse galloped closer, one clasped his fists and the other saluted the new military salute.

"Oh, you came very quickly!" Zhong Jinwei had obviously mastered his horse riding skills. After running in front of them, he halted his horse skillfully and said to them with a smile.

Huang Degong was a direct subordinate of Zhong Jinwei and had much more contact with him than He Kegang, so he first asked with a smile: "Master Marquis, has the fight begun?"

Zhong Jinwei looked at the expectant expressions on their faces, laughed and said: "Yes, let's do it, give Jianlu a hard time."

He Kegang didn't expect that Marquis Zhongxing would say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment and then started laughing.

"Let's go to Haizhou City." Zhong Jinwei said to them after a few pleasantries.

It's obviously not cost-effective to stand outside and chat in the cold wind.

The cavalry immediately galloped towards Haizhou City. As for the follow-up troops, Cao Wenzhao was naturally in charge.

The soldiers and civilians in Haizhou City already knew the news of the arrival of the army, so they all waited eagerly at the west gate. When Zhong Jinwei led the death camp and appeared outside Haizhou City, deafening cheers rang out, and the enthusiasm was beyond words.

Zhong Jinwei was very satisfied when he saw that the morale of Haizhou's soldiers and civilians was so high. However, he did not stop, but slowed down his horse speed, passed through the city gate, and headed for the city accompanied by Zu Dashou and others who had been waiting for a long time.

.

It was almost evening at this time, but Zhong Jinwei still immediately convened a military meeting. The people in the regular meeting were naturally Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Huang Degong, Hu Hao and others.

After the salute, Zhong Jinwei said to the generals: "The war planned last year has finally begun. The goal of this war is to regain Shenyang. In this war, the main force will be to annihilate the main force attacking the Jianlu."

To be honest, Zu Dashou and He Kegang thought that the target of this war was Liaoyang. After Liaoyang was captured, Shenyang would be exposed to the front of the Ming army, and they would only attack Shenyang after the army was repaired.

But after Zhongxing Hou's announcement, they stimulated the two of them, making them more eager to start the war as soon as possible. After all, Zhongxing Hou had been to Shenyang and left an inscription "Visit here", and they

The two of them haven't been there yet.

However, he was excited. As a qualified subordinate, He Kegang reminded Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, the main force of Jianlu is still there. If we want to attack Shenyang, we must first overcome the dangerous barrier of Anshan Posthouse and then conquer the important town of Liaoyang."

..."

Zhong Jinwei nodded approvingly to He Kegang, then turned to ask Hu Hao: "Have you verified it?"

This question was so confusing that Zu Dashou and He Kegang didn't know what it meant.

But Hu Hao knew what Zhongxing Hou was asking, but because Zhongxing Hou held a military meeting as soon as he arrived, he had no chance to report it to Zhongxing Hou before.

Now when he heard the question, he turned around and walked out of the queue, took out something from his arms, and presented it to Zhong Jinwei with both hands. At the same time, he reported: "It has been verified. It is basically true, but there are minor changes in some places."

This is equivalent to saying that the Jianlu troop deployment map provided by the Horqin tribe is true and will be of great help to the Ming army in deploying troops.

Zhong Jinwei took it with a smile, glanced it over, and said to Hu Hao: "Send a copy of this deployment plan to Jinzhou Yuan Zhongcheng and Denglai Lu Zhongcheng as soon as possible. It is estimated that they are almost ready now."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Hu Hao agreed and immediately left the lobby to explain the matter to his deputy.

Zhong Jinwei saw that Zu Dashou and He Kegang were both curious, so he smiled and said to them: "The former Horqin tribe, now most of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, detoured to Zhangjiakou two years ago to express their intention to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and

We presented Jianlu's troop deployment plan. When war breaks out, they will also serve as internal support to support our army."

The reason why they were not informed until now was because they wanted to confirm whether the Horqin tribe truly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
