Wu Zongrui relied on his familiarity with history to make the judgment that Dorgon and others would attack Shandong. However, strictly speaking, history has changed. It will take time to test whether Dorgon and others will truly attack Shandong.

But it is definitely good to prepare for a rainy day, but this time the troops are deployed, Liaodong's defense will be slightly weaker.

There were too many things that Wu Zongrui needed to do, so he made arrangements as soon as possible.

Shi Kefa, Liao Wenru and others stayed in Liaodong. Liu Ning, Zu Dashou, Jin Guofeng, Wu Sangui and others followed him on the expedition, and transferred 20,000 Denglai New Army officers from Liaodong, 10,000 Liaodong Frontier Army, and 10,000 officers from Dengzhou and Laizhou.

A total of 40,000 soldiers rushed to Liaodong, set up an ambush circle, and severely defeated the Houjin Tatars.

In this battle, the artillery battalion is the key. Using sharp artillery to disrupt the formation and deployment of the Houjin Tatars can not only ensure a quick victory but also ensure a complete defeat of the Houjin Tatars.

The mobilization of the Liaodong Frontier Army was deliberately done by Wu Zongrui. Although the sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army had been fully trained by the Denglai New Army, they had no experience in joint operations with the Denglai New Army. He wanted to fully integrate the Liaodong Frontier Army into Denglai.

In the new army, it is necessary to integrate all aspects, and joint operations are the most critical.

As the governor of Jiliao, Wu Zongrui's jurisdiction covers Liaodong, Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places. In an emergency, he can take charge of the entire border, but does not include Jinan and Qingzhou in Shandong. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, Denglai New Area

The army and the Liaodong frontier army were unable to enter places such as Qingzhou and Jinan. This was the first problem facing Wu Zongrui.

Secondly, how to allow the Denglai New Army and the Liaodong Frontier Army to smoothly enter Jinan and set up an ambush depends on whether they can defeat the Hou Jin Tatars. Once Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, notices the movements of the Hou Jin Tatars, he will definitely send a large army to Dezhou to resist the Hou Jin Tatars.

son, to prevent Houjin Tatars from entering Shandong. If the Denglai New Army and the Liaodong Frontier Army enter Jinan, alerting Zhu Dadian and massing heavy troops in Jinan Fucheng, then all Wu Zongrui's arrangements will be in vain.

Jue Hua Island.

The warship has made all preparations, and the sergeants, horses and artillery are all on board.

Wu Zongrui looked at Shi Kefa, Liao Wenru and others and spoke.

"I leave all matters in Liaodong to you. Let me emphasize one point. Dorgon, Haoge, Yue Tuo and others will lead troops to attack the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji in Shenyang will not be idle and will always pay attention to what is happening in Liaodong.

The situation, once we draw a large number of troops from Liaodong, resulting in Liaodong's defense being empty, Huang Taiji is likely to personally lead the troops to attack Liaodong, disrupting our painstaking layout. The Houjin Tatars are capable of attacking in two directions, so Xipingbao, Guangdong

Ning, Yizhou and Dalinghe City did not deploy any troops, and Qiao Mingjun, Niu and others also continued to be stationed, just to prevent the Later Jin Tatars from launching an attack on Liaodong."

"Your focus is not only on Xipingbao and other places, but also on the development of merchants. We cannot disrupt our pace just because the Houjin Tatars invaded the pass."

...

The powerful navy has become the biggest advantage of Wu Zongrui and Denglai's new army. It can completely avoid the detection of Hou Jin's Tatars, mobilize the army without anyone noticing, and can transport grain, grass and ordnance for the sergeants, etc. The original Battle of Liaodong

, the Denglai New Army intercepted the food and grass transported by Jin Tatar, which was the contribution of the Navy.

The warship formation headed towards Laizhou as quickly as possible.

On the deck, Liu Ning looked at Wu Zongrui and spoke.

"Sir, my subordinates feel that it is better to send scouts to the Dezhou area to investigate and make corresponding arrangements based on the intelligence detected. If you lead the troops directly to Jinan, will Master Zhu report to the court..."

Wu Zongrui looked at Liu Ning with a serious expression.

"Liu Ning, I understand what you mean. It's just that I'm worried that the emperor and the court will punish me. But now that the matter has come to this point, it can be said that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. It is no longer possible for us to consider the emperor's thoughts and the court's reaction."

"In this battle, the role of the artillery battalion is crucial. The Houjin Tatars are marching very fast. After they capture Tianjin, they will not have any stop or delay and will quickly march towards Shandong. We also need to use the best possible method."

Arrive in Jinan as quickly as possible, make all arrangements, and deal with the Houjin Tatars calmly."

"So we can't waste time. It's necessary to send scouts for reconnaissance, but we can't wait until the scouts conduct reconnaissance. Otherwise, it will be too late."

"You don't need to worry too much about the attitude of the emperor and the court. As long as we completely defeat the Houjin Tatars, no one will dare to talk nonsense and no one will dare to impeach us at will. Our position will be more stable."

...

Shandong, Jinan Fucheng, governor's office.

Zhu Dadian's face turned pale and he stared blankly at the map on the desk.

The Tatars of Houjin have already rushed towards Tianjin, and it is only a matter of time before the city of Tianjin is captured. Once the city of Tianjin is captured, the next target of the Tatars of Houjin is likely to be Shandong.

Texas has been beaten several times by Zhu Dadian.

When the Denglai rebels were wiped out, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian joined hands to achieve a complete victory. From that time on, Zhu Dadian stayed in Shandong. A few years later, with the help of the vigorous development of Dengzhou and Laizhou, Jinan and Qingzhou, etc.

The land has also developed rapidly. At least Zhu Dadian did not worry about the lack of money and food.

Both the emperor and the court knew that Shandong was prosperous and stable, and because part of the Denglai New Army was stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, rogue bandits did not dare to enter Shandong, which made Shandong completely different from other northern provinces.

But the Tatars of the Later Jin Dynasty were different. They just focused on the rich places.

What Zhu Dadian was even more worried about was that the Denglai New Army was stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the Houjin Tatars were attacking Dezhou, Jinan and other places. The Denglai New Army was beyond its reach and could not rush to rescue, and the defense range of the Denglai New Army did not include Jinan and Jinan.

Qingzhou and other places.

The governor entered the wing, clasped his fists and spoke to Zhu Dadian.

"Sir, I have just received news that the Houjin Tartars have captured the city of Tianjin, and their leading troops are heading towards Dezhou..."

Zhu Dadian stood up immediately, looked at the governor, and spoke urgently.

"Is the news accurate? Are the Houjin Tatars really heading towards Texas..."

"Replying to your lord, the Houjin Tatars are coming towards Dezhou. As for whether they are preparing to attack Dezhou, I dare not judge arbitrarily..."

Zhu Dadian snorted, looked at the governor, and waved his hand.

"Have General X come to me immediately."

The army of Shandong Town had already made all preparations and gathered between Jinan and Dezhou to resist the attack of Houjin Tatars at any time. It must be said that Zhu Dadian also had selfish motives. As long as he defended Dezhou to the death, he could repel the Houjin Tatars.

The attack prevented the Hou Jin Tatars from entering Shandong, and all problems were solved. As for whether the Hou Jin Tatars entered Henan after leaving Dezhou, it has little to do with Zhu Dadian.

For the current plan, heavy troops must be dispatched to Dezhou to defend the city of Dezhou and let the Tatars of the Later Jin Dynasty retreat in the face of difficulties.

Comparatively speaking, the army in Shandong Town has stronger combat effectiveness than the armies in other towns. This is also the result of the help of the Denglai New Army. Zhu Dadian once specially sent military officers to join the Denglai New Army and participate in many campaigns.

Training, after these officers returned to the army, they trained their sergeants according to the training methods of the Denglai New Army.

Zhu Dadian also found Lu Faxuan, the governor of Denglai, and asked for several red barbarian cannons, which he placed on the cities of Jinan and Dezhou. Although the number was not large, it still played an important role in resisting the Houjin Tatars who attacked the cities.

When the commander-in-chief entered the wing, Zhu Dadian did not waste time and immediately began to make arrangements.

"General Soldier

It's up to you to wreak havoc."

"It is enough to station five thousand sergeants in Jinan City, and all the remaining sergeants will rush to Dezhou."

The commander-in-chief responded with clasped fists.

"My lord, I will set off immediately and rush to Dezhou. However, I have a suggestion. Is your lord asking Mr. Lu, the governor of Denglai, for help? If Mr. Lu can send Denglai's new army to participate in the battle, we will be more likely to win.

Maybe we can defeat the Houjin Tatars..."

Zhu Dadian shook his head slightly and asked the Denglai New Army to rush to Jinan and Dezhou. How could it be such a simple thing? Zhu Dadian needed to report to the emperor and the court, and Lu Faxuan also needed to report to the emperor and the court. After receiving permission, the Denglai New Army

Being able to enter Jinan to fight, of course, if cities such as Jinan and Dezhou are in danger, Denglai's new army can also rush to help.

That was a situation Zhu Dadian didn't want to see.

"Okay, I understand. You can lead the troops to Texas with peace of mind. I will make arrangements for the rest."

It was quiet in the wing room. Zhu Dadian thought for a moment and wrote a letter. This letter was not written to Lu Faxuan, the governor of Denglai, but to Wu Zongrui, the governor of Jiliao. He had to prepare for the worst.

, if the city of Dezhou is captured by the Houjin Tatars, the city of Jinan will be difficult to defend and must get the help of Denglai's new army.

Deep down in his heart, Zhu Dadian was not particularly pessimistic and disappointed. Not to mention the Shandong Zhen sergeant’s combat effectiveness, Dezhou and Jinan were backed by the powerful Denglai New Army. If there was danger in Dezhou and Jinan, Wu Zongrui could not sit idly by and watch.

Literally, the Denglai New Army cannot sit idly by and ignore it.

The governor entered the wing.

Zhu Dadian handed the sealed letter to the governor.

"Send this letter to the governor's office in Dengzhou within two days. Remember, this matter cannot be delayed. It is related to the safety of Dezhou and Jinan..."

After the governor turned around and left, Zhu Dadian looked at the map on the desk again, feeling a little more at peace.

It's a blessing, not a curse. Disasters cannot be avoided. What is supposed to come will always come. If it were not for Denglai's new army, Zhu Dadian would have chosen to leave Jinan Fucheng long ago to avoid disasters.

Focusing on Dezhou, Zhu Dadian murmured something.
