Chapter 906

Liu Zhongyong, the No. 2 figure of the Chinese army, is also one of the founders of the Chinese army. His prestige in the army is second only to Liu bu.

Although he is not as famous and invincible as Liu Bu, his ability is quite strong. It can be said that most generals come from his family and are loyal to the Liu family.

Long ago, even before the Liu family started fighting, he was the head of the Liu family's yard guard and privately trained the army for Liu Yuanqiao, which was already a job of chopping heads in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Yuanqiao dared to hand over all the work of his head to him, which shows his trust in Liu Zhongyong. At that time, Liu Bu had to get the consent of Liu Yuanqiao if he wanted to lose a soldier.

Of course, after Liu bubing and the establishment of the Ministry of national defense, there will be no problem in this regard. It can mobilize all the troops, while others are convinced of him and dare not do anything.

This time, they organized the Shandong battle, which was also the result of several discussions. They chose Jinan as the main battlefield of the decisive battle between them. Liu Zhongyong did not refuse any, and carried out all battle orders to the letter.

Now, compared with the Chinese army, Daming has few advantages in other aspects except military strength.

Moreover, since the large-scale implementation of the use of firearms by the Chinese army, the advantage of this number is no longer the main factor determining the success or failure.

The Chinese army has many ways to deal with the enemy's crowd tactics. Now both sides are at a critical time. After withstanding the first wave of attack of the Ming army, it is time for the Chinese army to counter attack.

It can be said that when they resisted the enemy's attack on Jinan, it was time for them to counter attack.

According to the current situation, the Chinese military has become a confrontation between the north and the south.

However, Daming could not be defeated. Daming would certainly be defeated and it was estimated that the country would be subjugated. Emperor Chongzhen was aware of the great impropriety, so he promised such a high reward and organized the army to fight a decisive battle at all costs.

This is because he knows that if he doesn't play now, he probably won't have a chance to play in the future.

Hundreds of thousands of troops began to move to Jinan. This scene was really overwhelming. Jinan is the first important town of Qilu and the absolute core of the six governments in Shandong, with official roads and rivers extending in all directions.

This means that the officials and troops of the imperial court can use official ways to mobilize troops on a large scale.

With such a large number of enemy troops, the Chinese army also understood that except Jinan Prefecture, the remaining prefectures and counties were unable to resist the enemy's invasion, so they all followed the strategy of Dongchang Prefecture, that is, evacuating most small counties and concentrating their troops in several major cities and towns, the most important of which was Jinan and Liu Yuanqiao.

The garrison of Jinan City is close to 100000. Liu Zhongyong brought 20000 people and Liu Yuanqiao brought 50000 people. The local people formed tens of thousands of troops, and their military strength is still quite strong. This time, they didn't go out to fight in the field. They chose to stick to the city and work with ease, which also guaranteed the greatest power of their firearms output.

Now they can see clearly that the reason why they dare to challenge the Chinese army this time is that they are now in the rainy season. Fighting in the rainy season is not conducive to the firearm forces, but also the most detrimental to the almost all firearm forces of the Chinese army.

That's why the Ming army considered taking advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Chinese army. If the weather clears up and the roads solidify after the rainy season, it's time for the Chinese army to clean them up.

However, even in the rainy season, even when the Chinese armed forces could not exert their full power, Daming's army did not take advantage of everything they wanted.

That's why they took the risk and concentrated their troops to besiege Jinan mansion. Although the battles of other governments and battlefields continued, Jinan mansion became the key to the battle of Shandong,

In order to win the battle of Jinan mansion, Emperor Chongzhen once again copied the homes of a group of wealthy businessmen and officials in the capital and brought a large amount of silver and grain?, Sent to the front-line army, let them as the cost of development.

Moreover, the troops that can be deployed in the important towns on the nine sides are basically deployed. Except guanning army, which is the Gongwei mountain customs, other places, such as Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi, are basically transferred. If the Mongols come to invade the border at this time, it is estimated that the Imperial court can't resist it, and can only watch the enemy break through the customs and rob.

In recent years, however, the Mongols have been fighting against JianNu, and as a result, they have almost been cleaned up by JianNu. They all have little strength and dare not attack Daming. That is why the imperial court dares to continuously dispatch elite border troops from the Jiubian central station to suppress the rebellion of the exiled bandits and the Liu family, One is to win the battle of their destiny. The other is to draw out the main troops and rush to the battlefield of Shandong.

The Ming Dynasty took out the main troops and concentrated on killing them in Shandong battlefield, which also reduced the power of other battlefields. For example, the imperial court's officers and soldiers have been cleaning up the remnants of Li Zicheng in Zhongnan mountain! As a result, with the continuous deployment of troops, their encirclement power has been greatly reduced.

This led Li Zicheng to lead thousands of people to escape from the encirclement and return to Shaanxi. When he left Zhongnan mountain, there were only thousands of troops, but when he returned to Shaanxi, tens of thousands of troops began to act as demons again.

However, the current rogue bandits are no longer the number one enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The number one enemy to deal with in the Ming Dynasty is the Liu family in Shandong. They believe that as long as the Liu family is destroyed, everything else will come naturally. As for the rogue bandits, scabies.

The leaders of the previous roving bandits died in the hands of the imperial court. Gao Yingxiang, their chief leader, was publicly executed by the imperial court. Therefore, the imperial court also looked down on them. They thought that these people were farmers who revolted because they were hungry and didn't have enough to eat. It was not difficult to deal with these people, which made Li Zicheng pull up his team again and become stronger.

The strategy of the Ming Dynasty was that the three armies went hand in hand to encircle Jinan, strive to win Jinan in one fell swoop, and complete their whole feat in the first World War.

For Daming, winning the war in Shandong can stabilize their situation in the north and at least strive for the result of the North-South confrontation. If Liu Yuanqiao can be won in Jinan, the Liu family can be destroyed and the world can be unified.

So before we set out, the imperial court gave a big reward to those who broke the Jinan government for the first time, and those who killed Liu Yuanqiao were granted the king. Such a reward was very high and amazing, but the morale of the troops involved in the siege was quite high.

Of course, Hong Chengchou's and Yang Sichang's troops were mainly stimulated. As for Zhu Xieyuan's troops, their morale was already quite high. Because they had money, their military salaries were paid on time, and they obtained a lot of things through looting in the war. Therefore, in terms of morale, they were the best of the three major armies.

This time, Zhu Xieyuan jumped from Yanzhou mansion to Jinan. He didn't go for the things appreciated by the imperial court, but really hated the Liu family and Liu Yuanqiao. If he killed Liu Yuanqiao, he would calm the chaos in the world.

Zhu Yuan regarded himself as a loyal minister and a good general. At that time, he hated Liu Yuanqiao, a disorderly official and thief who sought to usurp the throne. He thought, if Liu Yuanqiao hadn't started a rebellion, why would the Ming Dynasty today have fought everywhere and lost so many lives? He wanted to capture Liu Yuanqiao alive on the day he conquered Jinan, Dig out his heart and see if he is red or black.

Of course, he thought this way, not only because of national hatred, but also because of family hatred. If the Chinese army destroyed Zhu Xieyuan's ten ethnic groups, he was not angry or hated. It is estimated that no one would believe that he really hated. He hated to the point that his teeth would be broken and killed the ten ethnic groups. What a terrible revenge. It is estimated that all his relatives and friends in his hometown died.

Zhu Xieyuan wanted to help the Ming Lord, help the world and benefit Sangzi. As a result, his relatives and friends in his hometown suffered for himself. This made him very guilty. When he offered incense to these people, he cried bitterly and apologized again and again. After calming the chaos of Liu thieves and killing all the disordered subjects and thieves, he committed suicide and apologized in person, Apologize to these relatives and friends.

The battlefield in Shandong became tense again because of the strategic mobilization of the Ming army. This time it was a total decisive battle between the two sides. No matter who the two sides were, they didn't dare to take it lightly.

In fact, the Chinese army also intends to lead the other party into Jinan to fight here, because in this way, it can reduce a lot of pressure on other governments, while the Ming army alone will bring greater pressure on his food, grass and logistics supply. It is estimated that this army is exhausted when it arrives here.

If the Chinese army is lucky enough to defeat the enemy here in one fell swoop, it is estimated that the other routes are running away from the wind. Therefore, after knowing that the other party is going to besiege Jinan, they begin to evacuate the people of several Fucheng urgently, move them to Fucheng, and then try their best to strengthen the defense of the city.

Liu Zongyong still has rich experience in guarding the city. Jinan City is also one of their old nests. Its operation is watertight. As early as the imperial court was ready to enter Jinan, it sent a large number of spies. These fine works can seize the opportunity to seize the city gate and create greater chaos in times of chaos.

However, when these spies seize the city gate, they are often easily discovered by the intelligence bureau of the Chinese army. They are found out and executed in public, which does not play a role. However, the upcoming war in Jinan will be a hard war. This is what everyone knows. Let's call it the war of national movement.
