- Chapter 493: Hong Chengchou is at a loss (third update)
In fact, at this time, Hong Chengchou was not the top official responsible for annihilating the Shaanxi Peasant Rebel Army. He was only responsible for the annihilation of the Peasant Rebel Army because of his ruthless methods and never showed mercy to the Peasant Rebel Army, and he had several military exploits. , so he became famous.
With this sudden change in Liaodong and the fate of Sun Chengzong¡¯s army unknown, the Ming Dynasty really couldn¡¯t find a few people who could take the lead. As for those generals, the civil service system did not allow them to rise to the top, so Hong Chengchou had to be promoted.
As soon as he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Hong Chengchou actively understood the situation in Liaodong and personally went to Yang Guo's bedside to ask Yang Guo for advice.
But Yang Guo didn¡¯t want to leave any clues to others, so he just reported the actual situation to Hong Chengchou and guessed that Sun Chengzong was besieged somewhere.
Yang Guo is indeed guessing. His identity is kept highly confidential. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Mingqian would not send anyone to contact him. However, Yang Guo, who has been in the military for many years and knows a lot about Taiwan, is still somewhat confident in the accuracy of his guess.
"Is the combat effectiveness of Taiwan's army really that strong?"
Although before that, Hong Chengchou had already learned from interviews with soldiers who had gone out to attack the city that Taiwan's firearms were very powerful. Even the artillery was dozens of times more powerful than the artillery on the Shanhaiguan city wall.
However, he still could not believe that there were such powerful firearms in the world. He even thought that these illiterate soldiers were spreading rumors and deliberately exaggerating the power of Taiwanese firearms.
"Master Hong, these Taiwanese muskets can kill people at a distance of four to five hundred steps. I sent people to attack several times, but they were repelled by their muskets.
We originally thought that on rainy days, their muskets would be useless, but some time ago, when we attacked in heavy rain, we were still killed by hundreds of people. Our people couldn't even get within 300 steps of the opponent. If it weren't for the fact that there were only 10,000 people on the other side, Shanhaiguan might have been captured! "Yang Guo lay on the bed and carefully described to Hong Chengchou what happened in the past ten days.
Yes, it has been twelve days since Taiwan established defenses north of Shanhaiguan. In the past twelve days, in order to be able to explain to the Ming court, and also to estimate the attack power of the current Taiwanese army, Yang Guo sent people to fight several times, but in the end he returned to Shanhaiguan after paying dozens or hundreds of casualties. .
"When Yang Guo did this, even Sun Chengzong, who had a prejudice against him, couldn't find anything wrong with him. Of course Hong Chengchou would not blame Yang Guo for not sending troops to Liaodong. What's more, Yang Guo could only lie on the bed and talk to him at this time. Hong Chengchou would not let Yang Guo lead the troops to fight with all his injuries!
"Sir, Governor Sun is very loyal to the imperial court. Now he must be besieged by the Taiwanese army in Jinzhou or some other city. I also ask Mr. Hong to come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy as soon as possible, and bring together Governor Sun and more than 30 people from the imperial court. Save Wan Dajun!" Yang Guo begged Hong Chengchou with a sad expression.
But Hong Chengchou really didn¡¯t know how to reply to Yang Guo¡¯s request. He already had a detailed understanding of the combat effectiveness of Yang Guo's Shanhaiguan garrison.
According to Hong Chengchou's estimation, there are few armies in the entire Ming Dynasty that can match theirs, and those under his command can only bully Gao Yingxiang's weak-legged armies in Shaanxi, and there is no way they can compare with others.
Such an elite army cannot approach Taiwan and intercept the troops within 300 steps. What do you want Hong Chengchou to do? Do you want to use your own life to consume the opponent's ammunition, and wait until the opponent's ammunition is exhausted before attacking? He, Hong Chengchou, has not reached that level yet.
"Commander Yang, thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest. The military situation is urgent and I cannot stay here any longer. Please forgive me, Commander Yang!"
Having gotten all the news he wanted, Hong Chengchou still had something on his mind, so he bid farewell to Yang Guo.
"This is as it should be. Sir, please go slowly. I am sorry that I cannot see you off because of my humble position. Yang Qun, see you off for me!"
After Hong Chengchou left, a six or seven-year-old boy walked in from the back door. He jumped up to Yang Guo and asked in that childish voice:
"Dad, is this person just like that old man Sun Chengzong? They are both bad people!"
If Sun Chengzong were here, his beard would be raised in anger when he heard these words.
"Xiang Xiao, dad doesn't know if this person is a good person, but Xiang Xiao can't say that Sun Chengzong is not a good person. If the bad guys outside find out, dad will be beaten again, you know?" Yang Guo doted on him. Touching his son's head, he said softly.
"You didn't ask for it, you dare to say anything, okay, now?Out of the mouth! "At this time, a woman also followed in from behind.
She is the wife Yang Guo took after he became the commander-in-chief. In order not to have too many relationships with the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, I married the daughter of an old general with whom I had a lot of contact.
In this way, there is no need to get involved in unclear relationships with those officials and get caught up in official battles. Moreover, my wife is not good for those civil servants. As a result, my family does not have a good impression of those officials of Ming Dynasty.
¡°There¡¯s no way, it¡¯s my duty, if I don¡¯t say anything, if something happens, I will be charged with some unexplainable charges.
And this is not very good. If I don¡¯t tell you, I won¡¯t be beaten. If I don¡¯t get beaten, I will probably follow the army northward, and then your husband and I will really be in trouble! "
Yang Guo had a playful smile on his face, which made Yang Guo's wife look both angry and amused.
However, Hong Chengchou really couldn't laugh at this time, because he had just received a tip from the Jin Yiwei that Sun Chengzong and more than 300,000 troops had been besieged in Dalinghe Fort for almost eleven days.
And what troubled Hong Chengchou the most was that the Taiwanese army that besieged the more than 300,000 troops turned out to be only 80,000 people.
Hong Chengchou knew very well who Sun Chengzong was. Although he thought highly of himself, he still had some self-awareness. In front of Sun Chengzong, he, who had only been exposed to military affairs for two or three years, was no match at all.
Now Sun Chengzong is besieged in Dalinghe Fort by Taiwan with inferior forces, and not even a single news can be spread. How high is the combat effectiveness of this Taiwanese army?
What¡¯s more, news from Mongolia, Houjin and North Korea has also come back. A complete failure, really a complete failure. In front of Taiwan's army, whether it was the Koreans, the Mongols, or even Hou Jin, who had beaten the Ming Dynasty before and couldn't hold his head up, they were as fragile as babies. He, Hong Chengchou, admitted that he was not that capable of turning a baby into a giant in a very short period of time.
