In the sixth month, the emperor left Fengtian and moved to Jinan.
With great fanfare and without concealment, the slogan of marching to Beijing was openly shouted all the way. The first town of Yuwei was stationed in Jinan, the second town was stationed in Dezhou, the third town was stationed in Xuzhou, the fourth town was stationed in Daming, the fifth town was stationed in Kaifeng, and the sixth town
Stationed in Luoyang.
The six reorganized new town imperial camps advanced from east to west. The four towns of Zheng Zunqian, Liu Guangshi, Liu Mu, and Liu Shixun were reorganized into the seventh and eighth towns in Jiangbei to surround Yingzhou.
The Henan camp in the newly compiled 18th town also goes south from the Runing area of Guide to the line of Yingshui and Rushui.
Tu Guobao Zhili Town, the first provincial-run town, Ma Guozhu, the second provincial-run town in Shanxi, the third provincial-run town, Lihuajing Town in Shandong, and the fourth provincial-run town, Xu Dingguo Town in Henan, plus group training
The first town, Liang Min Town, the second town, Ding Qiguang Town, the third town, Ding Weiyue Town, the fourth town, Zheng Longfang Town, the fifth town, Li Jiyu, etc. all crossed the Yellow River and gathered in the Zhending Mansion area.
Ma Guozhu also sent troops to capture Guguan and Niangziguan in Jingxing, and marched into Shanxi. He was appointed governor of Shanxi by the emperor's special decree.
The provincial camp was established in the Taihang area, and the regiment training was called nine towns gathered together with 100,000 troops. The troops frightened Taiyuan and threatened Beijing.
······Chen Qianfu, the governor of Huanghuai and governor of Henan, rushed to the outside of Yingzhou City, raised the banner of governor, and came to supervise the battle.
Qian Sule, the governor of Jiangbei, also arrived early. At this time, Yingzhou had been newly transferred from Jiangbei to Henan, exchanging Guangzhou Prefecture. However, this battle was important, so the emperor specially set up a Central Plains camp, and the three provinces of Henan, Jiangbei and even Hubei were included in it.
The 7th, 8th and 18th towns of the imperial camp were the main attack, and the local team training and others fully cooperated.
The emperor handed over the overall command of the Battle of Yingzhou to Zheng Zunqian, the admiral of the seventh town. He had great trust in the Yixing County Duke and appointed him the commander of the camp. Liu Mu, the admiral of the eighth town, and Zhu Zhongyi, the admiral of the 18th town,
Each camp will be given the title of deputy governor.
Chen Qianfu, the governor of Huanghuai, and Qian Sule, the governor of Jiangbei, assisted in the battle and also managed food and wages. Chen Qianfu was not appointed as the commander-in-chief of the war zone. It was also the emperor who broke the old tradition of the Ming Dynasty and no longer used civil servants to command the army. Chen Qianfu was mainly responsible for coordinating food and wages, and at most supervised the military.
, but has no battle command authority.
There were no eunuchs to supervise the army in this battle. Outside Yingzhou City, it was besieged for nearly two years and there were many trenches. Outside the camp gate, there was a forest of guns and countless officers and soldiers.
Two large flags were erected at the camp gate, with one side embroidered with the Central Plains Camp and the other side embroidered with the Governor of the Three Towns. Several cannons were fired, and the camp gate opened wide.
Civilian and military officers entered one after another and sat in rows on both sides. Zheng Zunqian and Chen Qianfu greeted each other and then took their seats.
Although Chen Qianfu was the governor of the two provinces, Zheng Zunqian was the commander-in-chief in the military camp, so he took the main seat, while Chen Qianfu sat at the head of the civil service.
Generals Liu Mu, Zhu Zhongyi, Liu Shiguang, and Liu Shiyun also led a group of generals sitting opposite. There was a row of people standing behind Zheng Zunqian. A Chinese guerrilla was holding a Shang Fang sword, and another Chinese soldier was holding him.
The commander-in-chief seal of the governor, and an officer holding the seal of general Zuo who conquered the captives.
Behind the three Chinese guerrillas holding sword seals are eight flag officers, each holding a king's order flag. In the late Ming Dynasty, king's order flags were proliferated, from the military governor to the governor-general, and even the military preparations were divided.
Every garrison has flags and generals, and even the garrison in Jinan has it.
Up to now, the emperor has also rectified the formulation of flags. The maximum number of flags ordered by the king is eight. Among the civil officials, there are only governors, governors, inspectors, sub-inspectors, and military censors. Among military generals, there are governors, admirals, and generals.
Only then can I be taught.
There are eight deputies for governors and governors, six deputies for governors and admirals, four deputies for patrol commanders, two deputies for division patrols, two deputies for general soldiers, and one deputies for supervisory censorship.
The royal flag actually represents military power. In the past, a governor had to hold the title of Minister of the Ministry of War or Minister of War to have the power to control the military. However, now Zhu Yihai directly assigns the responsibilities of patrols and even patrols to the governor, and it is clear that there are supervisors of the army, and even emergency
At that time, the military power of the provincial battalion was mobilized, so the concurrent title was no longer added to the unified army.
It does not have the title of the Ministry of War, but the military authority is still there. The important way to express it is the king's order flag. When the flag is used, it is called respectfully to ask for the king's order, so it is called the king's flag. Each flag has a different number, and even a seal.
.
This kind of flag is itself an evolution of the previous Tiger Talisman. The biggest function of the flag is to supervise military affairs and kill people in front of the army easily.
Supervising an army before going into battle must rely on flags. Especially civilian officials, whether it is Governor Chen Qianfu or Governor Qian Sule, or the sub-inspectors in the war zone, or even the inspectors of the two provinces, without flags, they have no military power in the army.
As soon as Zheng Zunqian came up, three Chinese soldiers were holding Shangfang swords, the governor's seal, and the general's seal of conquering the left. This was the authority of his camp commander.
And the eight sets of flags reminded everyone that he, the governor, not only had a sword seal, but also a flag. With these eight flags, he could kill anyone in the army who did not have a flag first and then display them.
"Everyone, sit down!" Zheng Zunqian went to that seat, with swords, seals, and flags surrounding him, showing his majesty. He was a tall man, and although he was only in his thirties, he had the heroic spirit of a young man, and he raised an army as a volunteer society.
Since then, he has also made great military achievements.
Dressed in iron armor, with a flying fish robe draped sideways on the outside, with a red face and long beard and silken eyebrows, it looks like Guan Yu is resurrected and Yue Fei reappears.
Zheng Zunqian did not speak in a hurry, but sat for a while, then stood up again, led everyone to salute in the direction of Jinan, and then took out a copy of the emperor's edict and read it to everyone.
Finished reading.
"This governor has been appreciated and trusted by the saint, and has been entrusted with the important task of commanding the camp in the Central Plains. He will definitely destroy the city and destroy the thieves. I dare not let down the kindness of the king. All the princes, whether they have received the country's favor in this life, or they are pulled out of the grass for the sake of today's knowledge, should all unite to kill them.
Use your strength to repay Your Majesty."
"I am the commander-in-chief of the army, and the most important thing is military discipline. Any meritorious service must be rewarded, and any fault must be punished!"
"Your Majesty pays the army generously. As the saying goes, raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a short time. Yingzhou has been besieged for almost two years. Your Majesty cherishes the lives of the soldiers and is not willing to use their lives to fill trenches. He would rather spend more time, money and food. But we are soldiers
, when it’s time to fight, you can’t be afraid of death, otherwise you’ll be sorry for the food and salary, let alone the Holy Emperor.”
"The siege has been going on for two years. Although Luckdhun in the city is tenacious, there has been a tip-off that the Tatars have long been out of food. They have been surrounded by us and have no help. When the food is gone, they eat horses, and the horses are gone.
In order to eat mice and birds, in the end, all the grassroots and village skins were eaten up, and they cannibalized people. But they refused to surrender. Now Yingzhou is like a ghost town, and not a single sound can be heard. That is because they have eliminated all the Tatars in the city.
Except, everyone else almost ate them all." Zheng Zunqian's instructions were also very simple and direct.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The Tatars sent the auxiliary king Nikan south to Guanzhong to invite Wu Sangui, Meng Qiaofang and others, preparing to fight again, gathering soldiers from Shaanxi and Hubei to first save Nanyang, and then come to Ying
States, can we give them that opportunity?"
"Three days, I only give you three days. Now that all the armies have gathered, it's time to take Yingzhou."
"There are several people from the imperial camp who are coming here, rushing to Xuzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang. They can't come all the way from Shandong. We can't even capture Yingzhou in two years, right? We still have to wait for them to come.
Help, even let Wu Sangui and others come to Yingzhou? What about our face?"
"The mission deployment for the battle has been set. All towns and leagues have received missions. If they complete the mission, if anyone ignores military orders and fails to fight effectively, the governor will have a sword seal flag on him. All the commander-in-chief and below will be
You can kill them first and then report them, and those above the rank of commander-in-chief will be severely punished and will not be lenient."
"Fighting is the duty of our military personnel, but for food, wages and logistics, although there are dedicated personnel in the army, they also need local assistance and cooperation. Governor Chen and Governor Qian are also requested to give their full assistance and support!" Chen Qianfu stood up and handed over his hand.
A gift was returned.
"Please rest assured, Governor Zheng. Yingzhou has been besieged for two years. Although Qian Gong and I have just taken office, the previous governors have also done a good job. There is a castle and military warehouse outside Yingzhou City. I have just inspected it.
There is sufficient food and grass, and the weapons are complete. As for wages and rewards, Governor Zheng does not have to worry." Chen Qianfu was not dissatisfied with the fact that the power of the camp was in Zheng Zunqian's hands, and professional matters were left to professional people.
The military camps were not under the governor's jurisdiction, and the provincial camps in Jiangbei and Henan were either reorganized into the new imperial camps, or they went to Hebei with the regiment training.
They do not have an army under their command that they can directly command, only some second-line regiments training civilian bravery. In fact, Yingzhou is already ripe with melons, and they are here to pick melons. Zheng Zunqian deliberately waited for everyone to arrive before starting together, and he also intended to share the work.
Everyone, he got all the credit for nothing, and of course he still has to thank Chen Qianfu for his kindness.
The meeting ended and everyone returned to their camps. Zheng Zunqian specially stayed with Liu Mu and Zhu Zhongyi, and discussed the battle plan. The main force of the three towns were all new imperial camps that had been reorganized. Each town had 15,000 people.
The men and horses each have a cannon mark, and the battalion's artillery has also been strengthened. It can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong.
Even if they are newly merged and reorganized, it will take some time to get full combat effectiveness, but at this time, the three towns have more combat effectiveness than the original six towns.
"This battle is extremely wealthy. There are 45,000 elite imperial battalions. There are three heavy artillery battalions and eighty-one twelve-pound cannons. In addition, His Majesty directly set up a cannon foundry here and also transferred
Soldiers from the Artillery Academy directly forged 24-pound siege guns here. This battle was a matter of pinching a snail with three fingers. Let's not say that we won it in three days. It was just a slightly unsightly fight with slightly more casualties.
, are all serious dereliction of duty." Zheng Zunqian's newly established seventh town was responsible for the main attack in the south, and Liu Mu's eighth town was responsible for encircling and feigning attacks from the east and north to provide support and countermeasures.
Zhu Zhongyi's newly organized 18th Town was responsible for ambush and interception in the western suburbs. They surrounded three buildings and concentrated their heavy artillery to the south.
Zheng Zunqian and the others have already dug tunnels in Nancheng. They even dug trenches in front of Nancheng. They also built many forts and mounted many siege guns. As long as the general attack order is given, they can blast the tunnels and blast the forts.
, blasted Nancheng away.
So this side is the main attack. Underground tunnels have also been dug in the other two directions, but not many. The main purpose is to provide cover and containment there.
Zheng Zunqian still hopes to leave a gap in the west, so that Luck Dehun can abandon the city and flee, so as to avoid street fighting in the city. Such street fighting will increase many casualties. But if he leaves the city, a fleeing army will ambush him along the way.
It's easier to fight more and cause fewer casualties.
"Please rest assured, Commander, although our Eighteenth Town is reorganized from regiment training, we promise to complete the interception and ambush mission and never allow a Tatar who leaves the city to escape!" Zhu Zhongyi said to Zheng Zunqian, patting his chest.
"I absolutely believe that your Majesty's five righteous sons are all fierce generals. Your heavy artillery battalion in the 18th town will attack the city for me, and the rest of the artillery will be kept. Don't worry, I won't use your artillery in vain. Liu and I will
The two cavalry battalions of the Admiral's two towns and a total of six cavalry battalions will be lent to you to intercept and ambush." One heavy artillery battalion in exchange for six cavalry battalions is certainly a good deal, and Zhu Zhongyi readily agreed.
