Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 442
The chaotic court suddenly fell into an eerie silence, everyone's eyes were protruding, and they stared at Yang Menglong, as if they were looking at the number one idiot in Tianzi.

In their eyes, the person who took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his troops to Lushun at this juncture was, if not the number one idiot in the world, then the number two.

"Millions of heroes rolled up the white flag, and no one in the world went to the west of Liaoning. The king of Qin didn't use Marshal Yu, and scolded the generals for riding with less horses." Type one word for each of these four lines. What is the answer?
The answer is "one, two, three, four".

Although this crossword puzzle is interesting, it also reveals an embarrassing reality - "a million soldiers roll up the white flag, and no one in the world goes to western Liaoning".After a series of disastrous defeats such as the Saarhu defeat, the annihilation of the Hunhe Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army, the fall of Shenyang, and the Dalinghe defeat, both civil servants and military generals in the Ming Dynasty regarded western Liaoning as a fearful road. When something goes wrong, the first reaction is to hide as far away as possible. Anyone who insists on being the first bird will become a dead person.The situation in western Liaoning is better than that in southern Liaoning. At least western Liaoning has sufficient supplies of materials, and although it cannot be attacked in advance, it can at least defend Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan in retreat. However, southern Liaoning is miserable. It is alone behind enemy lines and relies on an unreliable sea route. Resupply, once Houjin launches a large-scale military operation in southern Liaoning, let alone get reinforcements, it will not even be able to withdraw.Therefore, in the court of the Ming Dynasty, Liaonan has been deliberately forgotten. Of course, everyone is happy that the Ming army defending Liaonan has won the battle, and everyone is calm about the loss of troops and land. Anyway, you can do whatever you like, we I'll give you some supplies when you have money. I'm sorry if you don't. Just rely on your own efforts. No general has ever offered to personally lead troops to reinforce Liaonan. If he does this, everyone will definitely think that he is crazy and his brain is stuck. .It's good for this kind of stupid, as soon as he came up, he said that he would take the initiative to invite Ying, lead troops to southern Liaoning, and reinforce Lushun!
Is he really not afraid of death or really does not know death?

Chongzhen was somewhat excited.Well done, when other people heard that Houjin was moving, their first reaction was to hide as far away as possible. No one thought about sharing your worries. This kind of stupid came forward without saying a word. Really A great loyal minister!But he felt uneasy, such a loyal minister is not easy to find, and it is not worthwhile to put this young general in Lushun, a ghostly place where rabbits don’t shit and birds don’t lay eggs... He also plans to reuse him, not only for himself, but also for others. In the future, when the son ascends the throne, it will be reserved for his son. What if he dies in Lushun!He said hesitantly: "Yang Aiqing is loyal and brave to serve the country and is not afraid of powerful enemies. Of course it is good, but the reinforcement of Lushun has to be considered in the long run... Among other things, the Heluo New Army is far away in Nanyang. How to reinforce Lushun? Ai Qing You can’t go to Lushun alone, can you?”

Yang Menglong said proudly: "Your Majesty, I am not only the commander-in-chief of Heluo Town, but also the commander-in-chief of Denglai. The [-] elite troops in Denglai are also under the command of the minister! This elite army has been training since November last year, and it has been more than half a year now. It’s time to go to the battlefield and see the blood.”

Wang Yingxiong snorted and said: "A group of recruits who have only been trained for half a year dare to go out and challenge Jiannu's hundred-fighting elites. It's really fantastic!"

Yang Menglong glanced at the guy, and said loudly: "A group of farmers who have been forced to die without a day's training can defeat an officer and soldier on the battlefield with bamboo spears and wooden sticks, as long as they dare to go to the battlefield! Even if the troops who dare not go to the battlefield have been training all their lives, they are still a bunch of food-wasting trash, if the Denglai new army has such trash, I will throw them all into the sea without hesitation!"

Sun Chengzong panted slightly and said: "The Denglai New Army has hundreds of officers from the Heluo New Army as the core, and selected veterans who have fought several bloody battles from the Zhejiang Army, Sichuan Army, and Liao People as the main body, and practiced day and night for more than half a year. , the combat power is already quite impressive... It may not be enough for them to confront Jiannu head-on in the field like the Heluo Xinjun and Tianxiong Army, but it is definitely enough to defend the city."

Hubu Shangshu Hou Xun woke up from the sedation state, and said leisurely: "Even if the Denglai new army has the strength to fight, Jiannu dispatched not 2000 people, but [-], a total of [-]! Show off the viciousness of the battle of Daling River, just encircle but not fight, so what?"

When mentioning the Battle of Daling River, both Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong changed their colors.In this battle, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers were defeated, and they were extremely embarrassed. It can be said that they were completely defeated. It was only at the last moment that the Tianxiong Army and the Heluo New Army emerged suddenly, which saved the last bit of face of the Ming Dynasty.Nobody wants to risk the slightest bit of reliving a nightmare if they can!

However, Yang Menglong gritted his teeth and said: "If Jiannu repeats his old tricks, we will waste with them! Lushun is backed by the best port in the world, and Denglai Town has a large number of ships that can transport soldiers and supplies to Lushun at any time. Lushun is not lost, and supplies are endless. However, the supplies for building slaves have to be transported from Shenyang, and to support an army of 10,000 means that [-]+ coated slaves cannot do farm work. If it takes a long time, I will see who can't stand it first!"

Hou Xun snorted: "Will it last for a long time? The Ministry of Households doesn't have so much food and salary for you to consume!"

Yang Menglong said: "When did I count on the transfer department? In Nanyang, I produce tens of millions of stones of potato noodles a year. In Shandong, the wheat planted in military fields also has a good harvest. Coupled with the seafood caught by fishermen, it is enough to support Lushun. The consumption of Jiannu confrontation!" He waved his hand vigorously, raised his voice a little, and said loudly: "Seven days, at most seven days, thousands of elite soldiers from Denglai Town can reach Lushun, turn Lushun into an iron walnut, collapse Lost the big teeth of Jiannu! At most one month, the cavalry troops of the Heluo New Army can arrive in Tianjin and board the ship to enter Lushun by sea. If the cavalry of the Tianxiong Army is dispatched, it will be even faster! Turn into a meat grinder, smash thousands of slaves into pieces, and let them know that the dragon has reverse scales, and you will die if you touch it!"

Chongzhen's chest rose and fell sharply, and he murmured softly: "Dragon has reverse scales, if you touch it, you will die..."

Wen Tiren, Wang Yingxiong, Hou Xun and others saw it badly, but the big boss actually believed the kid's nonsense, something bad happened!At this moment, all civil servants showed a high degree of tacit understanding. These big bosses didn't even have a cough, so they all knelt down in unison and wailed, "Your Majesty, don't do it! The isolated city of Lushun has become Chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, it’s a pity to fill them up, the situation in southern Liaoning is irrelevant, the most urgent thing is to wipe out the rebels in Huguang and pacify the rogues in the northwest, we must not ruin the overall situation for an isolated city!"

"Chicken ribs?" Yang Menglong jumped up, staring at the civil servants kneeling on the ground, his eyes seemed to travel through time and space, and cast his eyes on Nanjing more than ten years later—after the city of Nanjing was broken, and the Hongguang court was destroyed, outside the city of Nanjing Kneeling all over the ground, and prostrate in front of the warriors of the golden age, aren't these scholar-bureaucrats who are invincible in defending against the enemy and skilled in internal fighting?They ruined the Ming Dynasty, ruined the Hongguang court, and ruined the Longwu court. The last ones either had itchy scalp or the water was too cold, scrambling to shave their hair and wear clothes easily. Since then, this ancient land has fallen into boundless darkness, and a miracle has also been created: it turns out that civilization will not only stagnate, but also retreat rapidly!His eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and a terrifying roar came from his throat: "Do you still have a bottom line, even a little bit! Lushun is the last city of Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is also the last hope for the Han people in Liaodong to recover the Liaodong Peninsula." , How can you say that you give up and give up! The land of the ancestors, the people of the ancestors, are all the dragon's scales, and they must be defended with blood, even if there are millions of corpses! If you must give up the land left by your ancestors, give up People who live on that land come in exchange for a moment of peace, so what is the use of this million-strong army, what is the use of the country, and what is the use of us!?”

A childish roar resounded throughout the Qianqing Palace. Many people trembled inexplicably, and the chaotic wailing stopped abruptly. Everyone raised their heads and looked at this brat in surprise.There is always something very special about him that makes everyone feel strange, but no one will feel strange about his anger. Yes, facing this group of ministers who are usually righteous but only talk nonsense when things happen, he is surprisingly angry. up.

Fu Zonglong's beard and hair were spread out, he knelt down heavily, kowtowed to Chongzhen several times, his voice was like a loud bell: "General Yang's words are reasonable. The land of our ancestors and the people of our ancestors must not be given up easily! I sincerely ask the emperor to send Denglai to you as soon as possible." Elite soldiers, reinforce Lushun! Although the old minister is old, he can still keep his spirits up and go with General Yang to the southern part of Liaoning to supervise the division and kill the enemy!"

Sun Chengzong originally sat up to court, but now he stood up tremblingly, and said with all his strength: "The old minister is willing to go to Shandong to mobilize supplies and soldiers to reinforce Lushun!"

Chongzhen's breathing was a little heavy and he asked Wen Tiren: "What do you think, Aiqing?"

Wen Tiren kowtowed louder than Fu Zonglong: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! It's heartbreaking to lose Lushun, but the top priority is to put down the Huguang rebellion..."

Yang Menglong said sharply: "The Huguang rebels can't overthrow the sky! Even if they really overthrow the sky, this world is still the world of our Han family children! If Jiannu grows stronger and seizes this country, our descendants will be killed." Kneeling down in front of them servilely, dragging a pig's tail, calling them master, and be their slave!"

As soon as these words came out, even Fu Zonglong and Sun Chengzong's expressions changed drastically. How dare this kid speak out!Those civil servants were thinking about whether to catch the loopholes in Yang Menglong's words and accuse him of being tricky, Chongzhen yelled: "Yang Menglong!" His voice was so severe that all the civil and military ministers were silent and did not dare to lift their heads.Yang Menglong's face remained unchanged, he still knelt on one knee: "The minister is here!"

Chongzhen's slightly yellow face due to day and night toil was already swollen and red, his eyes were spouting fire, he stared at Yang Menglong, and said sharply: "I give you the Shangfang Sword! I mobilized the Tianxiong Army, the Heluo New Army, The Guanmen Sichuan Army and even the Guan Ning Army are all under your command, do you have the certainty of victory!?"

Yang Menglong said proudly: "There is no certainty of victory, but the determination to die!"

With a wave of Chongzhen's hand, several memorials were swept away, and he said sharply: "I don't want you to die, I want you to live well, no matter whether you win or lose, come back alive to me! If you win, I will be big on the day of your triumphant return!" Open the Daming Gate, and personally lead civil and military officials out of the city ten miles to meet each other; if you lose, you will be escorted to the vegetable market to be hacked to pieces!" Everyone gasped at the words, and after he finished speaking harshly, he stared at Yang Menglong, The expression was almost ferocious: "Do you still dare to lead your troops to reinforce Lushun?"

Yang Menglong looked unruly: "Dare!"

Chongzhen said: "Okay, you have no joke! Fu Zonglong!"

Fu Zonglong responded: "The old minister is here!"

Chongzhen said: "I also gave you the sword of Shangfang, and ordered you to go to Tianjin, mobilize the ships and supplies, and assist the Guanmen Sichuan Army and Tianxiong Army to board the ships and go to sea. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you fail, don't come back to see me!"

Fu Zonglong said in a deep voice: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Chongzhen's eyes fell on Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong said calmly: "The old minister will order the Heluo New Army and Tianxiong Army to gather in Denglai and Tianjin, and go to sea to help southern Liaoning, and ensure that the Lushun defenders have no shortage of equipment and sufficient troops!"

Yang Menglong said: "The biggest shortage in Lushun is musketeers and crossbowmen. The first batch of ships only carry musketeers and crossbowmen. The second batch of ships transports cavalry. As for pikemen and crossbowmen, the best ones can be transported. It’s okay if you can’t.”

Sun Chengzong said: "The old man knows it well!"

Chongzhen looked at Yang Menglong: "When will Aiqing leave?"

Yang Menglong said: "Go back to the post house to pack your luggage, write a few letters, and leave for Denglai, Shandong in half an hour!"

Chongzhen said: "Then Ai Qing hurried back to prepare, and the preparations are ready, and I will personally see the general off at Daming Gate!"

Yang Menglong knelt down on the ground: "Observe the decree!"

Daming Gate is a symbol of the gate of the country, and it cannot be opened on ordinary days, let alone pedestrians.Such a scene where the emperor saw off the generals going out at the Daming Gate was very rare in the more than 200 years of Daming.A group of civil servants instinctively wanted to object, but seeing Wen Tiren's silence, they didn't dare to be the first bird.Seeing that the emperor was determined to fight this battle, they had no choice. They were very clear about Chongzhen's suspicious, violent, and resolute character. It's hard for him to change his mind... Forget it, let Yang Menglong show off the limelight!

When he retired from the court, Hou Xun went to Wen Tiren's side, and asked with some complaints: "The Daming Gate is a national gate, and we, the civil servants, scholars and bureaucrats, can't set foot here easily. How decent is it for the Holy One to see off a warrior at the Daming Gate? What is the chief assistant?" Fighting without reason?"

Looking at Yang Menglong's back, Wen Tiren suddenly wiped off his cold sweat, and cursed: "That guy is a lunatic! Not only does he not leave a way out for others, he doesn't even leave a way out for himself, a pure lunatic!"

Yes, not a lunatic, who would take the initiative to ask Ying to reinforce Lushun at this critical moment?It's not a lunatic, who would know that more defeats are more victories than victory, and that if they lose, they will be hacked into pieces by the emperor, and still accept their orders proudly?
I am used to doing little tricks behind the back to put on small shoes for the other party. Everyone chatted happily on the table, and the scholar bureaucrats kicked hard under the table. I really don't know how to deal with it.The reason why party struggles are so difficult to distinguish between 30 and [-] years is because everyone and every group must first consider the consequences and assess the risks before taking action. But this lunatic doesn't even take his own life seriously, all unspoken rules have no effect on him, what a fart!
