Chapter 905

Zhu Xieyuan firmly opposed such a strategy. He knew that the Chinese army was the most dangerous enemy. To deal with such an enemy, we must concentrate, use all our energy and spirit, and fight steadily and firmly is the king.

Any risky move will easily lead to his own defeat and death, and the great situation will be destroyed once.

But the emperor forced him into a corner. The emperor said everything and put his face on the ground. If he didn't implement it, what should he do? Should the monarchs and ministers do it? Some people will say that this army belongs to the Ming emperor or your Zhu Xieyuan?

Zhu Xieyuan has long been famous all over the world. He is a great minister. He doesn't attach great importance to civil rank and salary. What he attaches great importance to is the views of people all over the world on themselves and their evaluation after death.

Zhu Xieyuan wrote to the imperial court many times. In addition to asking for military pay and food from the imperial court, what he discussed most was to test the tone of officials in the imperial court. What posthumous title he could get after his death, he knew he could not get Wenzheng's posthumous title, but it would be quite good to get Wenzhong and Wenyi.

Now, the emperor took out something he didn't dare to have in his imagination, but it was too hot and too cruel. Zhu Xieyuan was worried about how others would evaluate him if I accepted such conditions. Others would only evaluate him as a mercenary who respected himself and raised the enemy.

So, what's the difference between him and Li Chengliang? He denounced Li Chengliang in public as an animal inferior to pigs and dogs. If it were not for his indulgence and cultivation, how could JianNu be as powerful as today and endanger the Ming court.

He Zhu Xieyuan is not such a person, but the emperor and the imperial court have offered such a price, which shows that he has no choice but to retreat. What should he do.

Finally, Zhu Xieyuan was forced to divide his troops again.

He ordered his general Lu Baqun to lead his troops to attack Jining and capture the city. He made a promise to Lu Baqun: "as long as you take this place, the children, women and silk in the city can be taken by you, fame and wealth are not worth mentioning."

Lu Baqun was greatly moved and vowed: "I swear to heaven that I will not take Jining and I will not be a man!"

After receiving the other party's oath, Zhu Xieyuan had no choice but to divide the troops. He ordered Lu Baqun to lead some people to continue the siege of Jining and strive to pull out the nail in his back as soon as possible. He led 100000 troops north to attack Tai'an and participate in the siege of Jinan.

Before he made up his mind, he also received military reports from the imperial court. The other party has said that Yang Si and Hong Chengchou have agreed to such a strategy and will send troops within half a month.

That's why he made such a bad decision.

However, Zhu Xieyuan wrote to the imperial court again. According to the wishes of the imperial court, he would send troops to besiege Jinan within half a month and strive to capture Jinan and capture Liu Yuanqiao alive in the fastest time. However, he would not receive the reward from the princess. As an orphan Minister of Daming, he should fight for Daming. It is the duty of soldiers and dare not ask for additional reward.

Zhu Xieyuan was actually very dignified and admirable. He spread to the court and shocked the civil and military officials in the court. Such dignified people are really rare. They praise each other. Such talents are the model of literati. If they don't get the posthumous title Wenzheng after death, they simply don't deserve the old God.

This can be regarded as a good story for the monarch, the minister and the court.

However, the news reached Yang Sichang and Hong Chengshou, who were preparing to send troops, which made them fall into an embarrassing situation of being in a dilemma.

To be honest, they decided to besiege Jinan regardless of the danger. This is called seeking wealth and wealth in danger.

Now, people surnamed Zhu don't want it. It's like the two of them ask the emperor for credit and the villain of the county king. Hong Chengchou was so angry that he scolded Zhu Xieyuan: "it's a typical villain. He sold his name, but let us make a fool of ourselves and become a laughing stock in the world."

Yang Sichang was also angry and ashamed. He said, "Zhu's move is where I am equal. Is it difficult that he is a gentleman in the world, and we are greedy villains?"

It may not be what the imperial court wants to see. According to the temper of emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court, it naturally hopes to calm the anti thief with the least cost. It's better not to use a ingot of military pay. It's better for Liu Yuanqiao to be killed by a drought thunder. If these soldiers don't want food and the army doesn't ring, the imperial court won't refuse. Like Zhu Xieyuan, it's a model of Wen Chen, I don't deserve Confucius Temple after death. I'm sorry for God.

However, Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou, who are also greedy for rich rewards, are very embarrassed, which highlights that they are villains. Before the war began, the generals of the three armies began to disagree and mutual suspicion, which is probably not what they saw.

Even the ministers of the court quickly discovered this, so they immediately sent envoys to comfort the two generals. Anyway, on the eve of sending troops, the emperor was worried that these people would have any bad ideas, so he repeatedly told them that this was an imperial edict written in black and white, and the court had no intention of going back, As long as they can capture Jinan, calm Liu thieves and seal the border and crack the soil, it's nothing to say.

After the fierce operation of the imperial court, they changed their strategy again.

In the past, their strategy was to push the army all the way, then attack cities and seize land, take all the cities along the way and surround Jinan.

After seizing Jinan, he went south on a large scale. Anyway, he formed a heavy army group. Wherever he passed, God blocked and killed God and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha.

This is also a strategy of their all-round attack. After all, they have a large number of soldiers and a wide range of generals. They can play as they want.

However, after entering Shandong and the war was unfavorable, the Imperial Court changed from an all-round attack to a key attack and won Jinan because of the lack of food.

There is no need to emphasize the importance of Jinan. Everyone knows that if Liu Yuanqiao is not in Jinan, the importance may be reduced a little. However, when Liu Yuanqiao is also in Jinan, the imperial court sees an opportunity. They can kill Liu Yuanqiao while besieging Jinan. If they can kill it or drive it away, The Chinese army is facing collapse.

So they decided to ignore the immediate difficulties and take risks and attack Jinan with heavy troops.

Of course, their current strength is still quite sufficient, several times that of the Chinese army. Even after controlling so many sites, they are still in a state of attack.

They sent a large number of troops to attack Jinan, which does not mean that they gave up the siege on the cities in front of them. What they pulled out is surplus troops. As for the troops to attack these cities, they did not reduce at all. Even because some troops were transferred from the rear, they became more. This is also the case that they dare not win these cities, Also dare to attack Jinan alone.

Of course, they don't think it's going deep alone, but they think it's called taking the first among millions of troops, which can also be called central flowering.

The imperial court made a strategy, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops began to pack up and prepare to start.

The change of his strategy in the Ming Dynasty has also changed the way in the past. In the past, the Ming Dynasty always discussed strategy openly when fighting in disorder. This is called Temple calculation, and even published it in the Tang newspaper to let the people know and the enemy's spies know.

Since they knew that the Chinese army had a national security bureau, they did not dare to make such a public statement. They only planned in a very small range and knew little about it. Those who knew about it did not know it except cabinet members and ministers. Therefore, they did a very good job in confidentiality this time, This is also from Xu Jianqiang's suggestion.

However, despite Xu Jianqiang's ability, there is one thing he can't do. This is to shut up hundreds of thousands of troops. After all, they want to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and change their strategies to fight in another place. After reaching the army under the command, basically the whole army knows.

Since the whole army knows it, it naturally means that the Chinese army also knows it. In this way, the intelligence collection ability of the Chinese army is quite strong. When several marshals agreed to such a strategy and prepared to dispatch troops to attack Jinan, Liu Yuanqiao, who is far away from the German palace in Jinan, also received the news.

Liu Yuanqiao said to Shandong governor Wang Wendong, "let them come? Let them see the power of our Chinese army."

Liu Zhongyong, the senior general of the Chinese army, is responsible for guarding Jinan City. As the old head of Liu Huaxia army, he vowed to the prison King Liu Yuanqiao this time: "Jinan City is an iron wall. The Ming army will certainly hit his head and blood under the city. Anyone who wants to hurt his highness must step on the body of the last general."

Liu Zhongyong made such a guarantee, and several of his generals also swore allegiance to Liu Yuanqiao one after another.

Liu Yuanqiao was very happy to see that the morale of the army was available. He gave a military salute and said loudly, "the Chinese army is powerful!"

Liu Yuanqiao, also known as the octahedral Buddha, is famous for his kung fu in his sleeve. This means that he is good at calculations and power in officialdom. He has no outstanding performance in marching and fighting. Almost all people are not optimistic about his personal expedition.

Many people even advised him to sit in Nanjing and wait for the enemy to attack, but Liu Yuanqiao was stubborn. Today, he wanted to personally come to Jinan to supervise the war, drive the expedition, show his strength and convince the three armed forces.

The Chinese army is now almost in trouble at home and abroad, but their morale is good. After all, they control the best territory, and the food is distributed on time. The soldiers also know that everyone is prosperous and lose. Even if they throw in the enemy, there will be no good results. You know, the Chinese Army surrendered under Yiling city, Finally, he ended up beheaded.

All are dead. Why not fight to the death? Therefore, the morale of the Chinese army is not as bad as the imperial court estimated.
