Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 980 Laying out the overall situation

When he received the news that the first group of old and weak people had safely entered North Korea, passed Tieshan, and were now approaching Seoul, Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it seemed that all the previous preparations were still useful.

Thinking like this, he decreed that the second wave of old and weak people would set off again to Seoul, North Korea. Then, the third wave, the fourth wave..., the Qing Dynasty's move to relocate the old and weak people must be done before the Ming Dynasty came back to its senses. Finish. Therefore, this requires the migration to be fast.

So, from Tongyuan Fort, Phoenix City, Tangzhan Fort, Zhenjiang Fort, to Sinuiju in North Korea, and then on the official road to Seoul, countless old and weak people, one after another, left their hometowns with limited food. Go far away.

Along the way, the old and the weak were constantly being eliminated, dying of starvation and exhaustion but having no choice but to do anything. On both sides of the official road, the dead were buried early. It attracts many wild dogs, which dig into the soil and eat people.

Yue Tuo, the leader of the banner with the red flag, personally led the troops to escort the old and weak people with the red flag to North Korea. Along the way, seeing all kinds of tragedies, I had no choice but to accept the reality. If Liaodong had enough food, there would be no need to go to North Korea, and no tribesmen would die on the way to migration.

When this matter was discussed in the Chongzheng Hall, they, the senior officials of the Jianlu, had already predicted this. The relative clan members all starved to death in Liaodong, and at least half of them could survive in North Korea, which was an acceptable price.

This time the great migration was based on banners, with priority given to the Manchu people themselves. After all, there is not much food in North Korea, so if you can survive, you can live as a member of your own tribe. The first batch of people to go to North Korea were the Zhenghong Banner people. As the banner leader, Daishan was already a bit old, so he actually asked his son Yue Tuo to handle the escort.

The Ming army controlled the Anshan Posthouse and could attack Liaoyang at any time, so it had to send troops to garrison it. More importantly, the Jianlu troops no longer had food in their hands, because even if they sent troops to escort them, they wouldn't be able to send many troops. Yue Tuo led a thousand people to complete the relocation of the old and weak from the two banners. Once this force is distributed, it can only guard against North Korean rebels and wild dogs on the road.

Kaesong in North Korea is not far from its capital Seoul. It was the former capital of the Goryeo Dynasty. It was only moved to Seoul in the first few years of the Lee Dynasty. Kaesong is an important town in North Korea. Therefore, Dorgon also has heavy troops stationed here. Only a small part of the old and weak Jianlu people were resettled in Seoul. Most of the others had to settle in Kaicheng first and then accept the arrangements. In other words, Jianlu's migration ended in Kaicheng.

What no one expected was that an army was secretly ambushing them on a mountain only twenty miles away from the city. Each man has a war horse, and the morale is high. The main flag is embroidered with the two Chinese characters for "骠 riding". This troop was none other than the Hussars Battalion personally led by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai.

Judging from the situation of the camp, Lu Xiangsheng had obviously been stationed on this mountain for several days. In the camp, he looked at a map, pointing with his fingers from time to time, thinking about something in his mind.

Standing next to him was still the petite Wei Mulan. However, compared to before, it seemed that the Wei Mulan in front of her was a little taller and more heroic.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the New Army cavalry has been fully deployed. They are..." Wei Mulan suddenly spoke, then skillfully stretched out her jade hand, pointed to several places on the map, and reported to Lu Xiangsheng, "Here , and here, the responsible places are already in place.”

Lu Xiangsheng felt happy when he heard this, and then immediately asked: "What about the Guan Ning Cavalry?"

"Wait a minute!" Wei Mulan replied and started to feel dazed. Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew that she was going to contact Guan Ningjun.

The emperor knew the entire plan of Jianlu in advance, so naturally he would not make a small fuss, but had a big plan, and was prepared to attack Jianlu severely. Therefore, this operation was completed by the Dongjiang Army, the New Army and the Guan Ning Army together.

On the entire migration road from North Korea to Liaodong, everyone was responsible for the entire migration and was responsible for each section. Thanks to the existence of the chat group system, there was no communication problem. We could work together and handle the entire Jianlu migration in one go.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the Guan Ning cavalry replied that they acted a little late because they were afraid that Jianlu would find out." Wei Mulan came to her senses and immediately reported, "Now they are quickly dispatching, and they are expected to be ready tomorrow. Arrive at the destination as planned. Then we can start working together."

The Guan Ning Army is responsible for a section of Liaodong, close to Shenyang. Relatively speaking, Jianlu's forces were relatively strong, and there were many scouting horses in the wild. Although Guan Ningjun was not stupid enough to ambush near Shenyang, even if he was far away from Shenyang, he would be more likely to be discovered by Jianlu than other sections of the road.

It is for this reason that in the joint operation of the three armies, Lu Xiangsheng's Hussars Battalion set off first, while Guan Ning's army was the last to set off.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng was not dissatisfied after hearing this. He looked at the map and nodded and said: "That's very good. Pass on the order. All the soldiers have a good rest and we will start on time tomorrow."

In fact, with the communication methods at this time, it doesn't matter even if they don't take action at the same time. After all, Jianlu's communication of the enemy's information is also delayed due to distance. But now that all three armies have heaven-level imperial guards, they naturally have to do their best.

Although Lu Xiangsheng's side was the deepest into the enemy's territory, thanks to Jianlu's blessing, Korea was completely silenced, making the transfer of the Hussars battalion quite smooth. They had been stationed not far from the city for several days, but Jianlu didn't know anything about it.

After Lu Xiangsheng looked at the map for a while, several of his generals came to tell Liu Xingzhi, Mao Chengzuo and other generals about tomorrow's war.

Before they could finish their military meeting, one night suddenly came galloping in front of the army. He rolled his saddle and dismounted his horse in front of the army. He quickly walked to Lu Xiangsheng and reported: "Lord Zhongcheng, we are thirty miles away from here to escort Jianlu." Judging from the old and weak flag, it is Yue Tuo himself, the leader of the flag with a red flag."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng felt a little surprised, but also a little excited, and immediately asked: "How about the strength of the troops with you?"

"Returning to Mr. Zhongcheng, it seems that there are only personal guards around." Ye Bushou was equally excited. This is a big fish. "My colleagues have already gone forward to continue their investigation. If there is any situation, they will report immediately."

"Okay, okay, okay!" After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng said hello three times, then looked at the map and asked Ye Busuo to mark the current location of Yue Tuo. After careful consideration, he started to assign tasks again.

Ye Bushou also continued to investigate, and from time to time reported information related to Yue Tuo to Lu Xiangsheng. Before you know it, an operation to catch big fish is about to begin.
