Chapter 2575 The mainstay of the Guizi scroll

  All eyes are on Zhang Huaichang's face, Zhang Huaichang needs to give a reasonable explanation.

  How could Shenyang be lost?

  What would be the consequences of losing Shenyang? Doesn't Zhao Lijiao know?

   The 100,000 Liaodong Army plus the reinforcements of the Jizhen Army, and the Dongjiang Town that is being formed, are they all clay puppets?

  Unable to give a reasonable explanation, the cabinet may really ask Xiong Tingbi and Zhao Siaojiao to use human heads as an explanation.

"Sun Degong, the general of the Yahuguan Pass, rebelled and conquered the enemy. In addition, Sanyangyu Fort guarding Jinyu and Qinghe Fort guarding the Shi family brothers rebelled together, which directly led to the opening of the entire Eastern Front. Baitapu and Fengji Fort to the east of Shenyang are encircling Shenyang,..."

Zhang Huaichang took a deep breath, "In addition, Li Yongfang bribed the Fan family, a wealthy businessman in Tieling Acropolis who had been providing military supplies for Liaodong Town, and set fire to create chaos in the city when Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai led the army to storm the Tieling Acropolis. At the same time, he colluded with Dai Jixian, the general manager of Tieling Guards, to open the city gate, which led to the fall of Tieling City and the chaos of the entire northern defense system. So, approaching Shenyang,..."

   "So Zhao led the teaching and felt that Shenyang could not hold on, so he abandoned the city and fled?" Li Sancai said coldly.

"That's not the case. If I were in Liaoyang, I would have asked Zhao Lediao to withdraw from Shenyang temporarily, because you don't know how many internal rebels like Dai Jixian, Jin Yuhe, Shi Tingzhu, Shi Tianzhu, and Shi Guozhu are still in your subordinates, and I It is also certain that there is definitely such an internal response in Shenyang City. This time such careful planning, every step is just right. It is definitely designed by Nurhachi with a lot of effort. Once Shenyang City is surrounded by the Jianzhou Army, there will be internal response. Tens of thousands of Liaodong troops were killed because of this, and the consequences would be disastrous!"

  This is also the conclusion Zhang Huaichang came to after thinking about it.

  Zhao Ledjiao was also so worried that he had to simply withdraw from Shenyang City. In this way, all the armies first retreated to Liaoyang one after another, trading space for time, and reorganizing an effective defense system in Liaoyang.

   Only in this way, the situation is quite passive. After losing Shenyang, it may not be that simple to regain it.

  Jianzhou Jurchen won Shenyang, and its power would definitely increase. Once it is firmly controlled, the 100,000 or 200,000 Han people in this area will be digested by it, and its advantage over Liaodong will become more and more obvious.

  The more he thought about this, the more worried Zhang Huaichang became. He was caught off guard by such a strange move by the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the situation turned sharply and became so dangerous.

  Actually, this is not a strange move. I know that there are Jianzhou Jurchen internal support in the Liaodong Army, but from the generals, the guerrillas, the guards to the generals, can you tell which one?

   Acting rashly will only shake the morale of the army, and maybe force those who have not yet made up their minds to turn back. It is precisely because of this factor that no progress has been made.

  Long Jinwei did not open up the situation in Liaodong during Li Chengliang's time. The whole Liaodong was managed by Li Chengliang like an iron bucket. Or how did Li Chengliang's Liaodong King get his name?

   Zhang Huaichang's explanation made some sense, but it was hard for people to let go. Fang Congzhe couldn't help asking: "What about Xiong Tingbi? With such a big matter, he just sits idly by and does nothing?"

   Zhang Huaichang then introduced that Xiong Tingbi suffered from the epidemic and has never recovered.

  People are almost sick, what more can you ask for?

   This climate is not acclimatized to the epidemic, and no one can avoid it. Otherwise, why many officials would rather resign than go to Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi or Ganning.

   Isn’t it just worrying that this official has not been in office for a few days, but his life is gone.

  The level of medical care these days is just like that. Many diseases can only be carried by one's own physical fitness, or by luck.

Zhang Huaichang gave an overview of the situation, and the ministers of the cabinet understood the danger of the situation. Tieling Guard was lost. Although Shenyang retreated voluntarily, Nurhachi personally led an army to pursue him. Zhao Ledjiao and Zu's brothers led the army to fight **** battles. With the full support of You Shilu's department in Jizhen, they repelled the Nurhachi army who was chasing all the way.

In addition, after learning that Shenyang was lost, the Mao Wenlong Department of Dongjiang Town also took the risk of launching an offensive on the front line of Liubao in Kuandian. Even Ke Changdian Fort and Yongdian Fort can be regarded as causing a certain amount of pressure on the southern line of Jianzhou Jurchen and helping the frontline of Liaoyang to relieve the pressure , the two sides confronted each other on the front line of Yongdianbao and Dadianbao.

"If Shenyang is lost, Liaoyang will be in danger. Can it be held?" Fang Congzhe was a little pessimistic. "From Shenyang to the south, I have the impression that it is a flat river. Attack, what should I do?"

   "It's not that dangerous." Qi Yongtai knew that he had to cheer up the people present, otherwise everyone felt that even Liaoyang would give up and simply retreat to Liaoxi, then Liaodong would really be hopeless.

  Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Yongtai, the backbone. It seemed that Qi Yongtai's words were more convincing and more confident at this time.

   "Brother Chengfeng said so, there must be something to rely on?" Tang Binyin asked impatiently.

"The core of Liaodong's defense is still in Liaoyang. Although Shenyang is lost, Jianzhou has not been able to use Shenyang's resources in a short period of time, and this time Nurhachi should also use Li Yongfang's resources in our Liaodong town. It’s almost there, even if there is, we can’t give him another chance, after this time, we must make major adjustments to Liaodong generals, no matter what price we pay!”

  Qi Yongtai's words convinced everyone.

  It was Li Sancai who was hesitant at the beginning, thinking that too large adjustments might affect the combat effectiveness of Liaodong Town. Zhao Liaojiao and others also firmly opposed it, so they failed to implement it.

   Now is good, Sun Degong's rebellion opened the Yafal Pass, directly let the Nurhachi army take a blow, and almost taught Zhao rate to make dumplings.

"We can no longer digest the population resources lost by Shenyang for Jianzhou Jurchen. Once these 200,000 or 300,000 population resources are digested by Jianzhou, we may face an enemy that is several times more vicious than we are now. Pedestrian Si Na Didn’t you say that Jianzhou is actively contacting the Xiyi people through North Korea and Japan, hoping to obtain artillery casting and self-generated firecracker manufacturing technology from the Xiyi people? This is a very dangerous signal. Once North Korea and Japan both Feeling that we can no longer protect their safety, their great tradition of affairs may fall back to Jianzhou, and we must not allow this to happen."

   Qi Yongtai's tone was heavy and firm, which also showed his attitude.

"We must start from now on to strengthen our support for Liaodong in an all-round way. The current Great Zhou court should also understand that if we don't take Jianzhou Jurchen seriously, they will continue to bite us like a wolf that never knows how to eat. Let us lose blood, if we don't deal with this enemy, if there is any trouble, this wolf will jump out and make a fuss..."

Qi Yongtai's point of view won the support of Li Sancai and Gu Bingqian, but Tang Binyin still asked: "Brother Chengfeng, even so, the war in Hebei is fierce, and it may not be resolved in a short time. Pay attention to,…"

"Hebei is a disease of ringworm and scabies. It can be seen from the battle of Baoding. This is a group of mobs. They seem to be powerful, but in fact they lack a rigorous organization. They may be able to toss a little momentum against the Shangwei Army. Come on, as long as you face the army above, you will only be defeated."

  Qi Yongtai patiently explained that he also knew that Tang and Miu were gradually getting closer to him, and he would not treat each other too coldly, and their efforts would be needed for future cooperation.

   "Ziying is now in Zhending, and with the cooperation of the Xuanfu army and the Beijing camp, I believe that the White Lotus Sect in Hebei will not be able to make big waves. What we need to pay more attention to now is Liaodong."

Zhang Huaichang couldn't help but suggested: "Masters, Fei Bai is not in good health now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on the heavy responsibility of the Liaodong war. I suggest that Fei Bai come back to recuperate as soon as possible, but Liaodong needs a minister who can suppress the Jianzhou Jurchen." This person is none other than Feng Keng, so I suggest that Feng Keng go to Liaodong as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation of Liaodong, and we must not let the Jianzhou Jurchens digest the population they took from us this time..."

   "However, the war in Hebei is raging, and the White Lotus Sect in Shunde, Guangping, and Daming Prefectures is also quite rampant, plus the three prefectures of Henan..." Li Sancai hesitated.

"By the way, there is another battle report that I haven't had time to report. The Jiangbei town newspaper has won consecutive battles in Guide and Kaifeng. It has wiped out the Bailian rebel army in Henan south of the Yellow River, and is preparing to march into Weihui, Zhangde and Huaiqing. Sanfu,..."

   Finally heard good news, and the atmosphere in the hall became a little more relaxed.

  Jiangbei Town has dealt with the Bailian rebel army in Guide and Kaifeng, so it can free up its hands to deal with the rebellious army in the three northern prefectures, but the three southern prefectures directly from the north and the three prefectures north of the Yellow River in Henan are intertwined, and the strength of Jiangbei Town is definitely not enough.

   "Let Zhisheng go to Zhending, Ziying go to Liaodong, brother Jinqing, what do you think?" Qi Yongtai looked at the chief assistant Ye Xianggao who hadn't said much, and seemed a little distracted.

Hearing asking for his own opinion, Ye Xianggao woke up like a dream and nodded: "I think it's okay, but I think that since the battle in Liaodong has reached this level, Liaoyang can't be lost for the time being, so I'm not in a hurry. If Ziying can wipe out the Bailian army in the central area, it might be more appropriate for Zhisheng to take over."

  Qi Yongtai thought for a while and nodded.

  This opinion is pertinent. Now that Liaodong has been defeated, it is impossible for Ziying to reverse the situation immediately. Instead, it is necessary to prepare for the conquest of Liaodong in the next few years.
