Chapter 1196 Liaoyang has a high emperor
The Liaoyang Imperial Palace is surrounded by walls and water, and it is quiet.
Guo Yaoshi followed an old eunuch in Bohai and walked under the eaves of the palace. This palace was the original palace of the Liao Kingdom. Although it was not magnificent, it was very large. The palace was filled with silent eunuchs and palace maids. Guo Yaoshi didn't have the heart to think about where these eunuchs came from?
How many days has that guy Gao Yongchang become the emperor? Where did he find so many people to serve him? Could it be that he was from the original Liao emperor palace?
I don’t know how long it took to work, even when Guo Yaoshi, who was born in the army, had a little sore legs, he came to a building before. He almost ran into the old eunuch inattention.
When I looked up, I found a plaque hanging under the roof of the building, with three big characters written on it!
Is this Chongzheng Palace correct?
Emperor Gao Yongchang is almost dead, and he is still so particular... There is also a Chongzheng Hall!
This is not a good phenomenon!
The more refined Gao Yongchang is, the more he takes the emperor seriously.
The emperor has no reason to abandon his country and go abroad, right? After going to a foreign country, the emperor's airs are still so arrogant? Can he still be demoted to a minister?
But now the Yuan Dynasty is in trouble, can it still not run away? If you don’t run away, you will die.
While Guo Yaoshi was thinking about it, the old eunuch had already walked around the Chongzheng Hall and came out again.
Seeing that Guo Yaoshi was still in a daze, he walked up and said, "Guo Du, Your Majesty announces your visit, and don't lose your etiquette before the emperor, so as not to be impeached by the censor in the palace."
What? Even the censor in the palace has it? He is doing the whole set of acting! Gao Yongchang is quite good at playing!
Yaoshi Guo smiled bitterly and had to follow the old eunuch into Chongzheng Hall.
The light in Chongzheng Hall was very dark, and Guo Yaoshi was not used to it. He squinted his eyes and looked for Gao Yongchang everywhere. Finally, he saw a figure wearing a yellow robe and a crown behind a large table.
Is this Gao Yongchang?
Why does this outfit look like it was brought from the stage?
"When I see the emperor, I still can't bow and bow to you?"
Someone in the hall shouted, "It should be the censor in the hall."
Yaoshi Guo had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow to Gao Yongchang, and then shouted: "Gao...Gao, the big thing is wrong! Youzhou soldiers are coming, let's quickly decide on the strategy of fighting and defense!"
Gao Yongchang said calmly: "Does Guo Qing have any plan to get rid of the enemy?"
Guo Yaoshi said: "There are three strategies for the present. The best strategy is to abandon the city and go to the Jurchens; the middle strategy is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and defend Liaoyang to the death; the worst strategy is to gather the army to attack the whole way."
Gao Yongchang narrowed his eyes and just looked at his important officials one by one with the dim light in the hall.
Of course he knew what the Republican Army had come from the branch. The right-road army led by Wu Haogu was slow to operate. The left-road army in the north had broken Liaozhou and Shuangzhou one after another. The middle-road army led by Zhao Zhongge also broke Guangzhou.
The two defeats were reported. Gao Yongchang scolded Wu Haogu in the palace for betrayal, but also knew that something was wrong.
But his dream of emperor has finally come true...but the price is a bit high.
First of all, the best strategy for Guo Yaoshi to abandon the city and go to the Jurchens is not suitable for him as the emperor.
When I got to the Jurchens, could there be an emperor? Not only could the emperor fail to do it, I am afraid that he would not even be a proper official, so he could only be a "Pingding Marquis".
The reason is very simple. There are few Jurchens and many people in the Bohai Sea. If Jurchens want to turn the Bohai Sea for their own use, of course, they cannot allow an emperor of the Bohai Sea to survive.
However, Guo Yaoshi's Zhongce, it is not very feasible to defend Liaoyang Prefecture with a strong wall and clear the world.
He became emperor with the support of the surname Zhuyou of Bohai. How could he immediately send someone to burn their farmland and walls?
Moreover, Gao Yongchang has just become an emperor and is just when he should show off his skills. How can he be a turtle with a headscared turtle?
"I don't think it's a good way to escape or defend the enemy!" Gao Yongchang gritted his teeth, "For the sake of the present, we should concentrate our troops and defeat the enemy."
Yaoshi Guo thought for a while, "Then go north to defeat the enemies of Shuangzhou."
His idea was that if he was defeated, he could also vote for the Jurchens nearby.
"No." Gao Yongchang shook his head, "Shuangzhou is too far away. If the war is delayed and the army cannot come back for a while, Liaoyang will be empty."
"Then let's fight the way to Guangzhou."
"No." Gao Yongfu stood up again to object, "According to the defeated soldiers, the enemy troops who captured Guangzhou had dozens of artillery pieces and a large number of iron cavalry."
It's also a cannon and an iron cavalry, so it's definitely not possible to beat it.
Guo Yaoshi said: "But the enemy from Yaozhou is the elite who defeated Yelu Yanxi in Lushun..."
It turned out that Guo Yaoshi didn't know that Wu Haogu also led all his troops to join Ma Zheng, and he thought that the Republican army that captured Chenzhou and Yaozhou was all the way.
"The Lushun battle was both defeated, and the Youzhou thieves have been attacking the Bohai people's walls after the Lushun battle. After the continuous battle, they have long been a tired army."
Gao Yongchang shouted: "So I have decided to do it! I will lead the army in person! Tomorrow, I will launch a large army and go south to fight against the Youzhou thieves!"
Master Guo sighed, his mind had already started to turn... Gao Yongchang is already dead, he can't be buried with him, right? No, why do you have to find a way out!
...
"The messenger of Pharmacist Guo?"
"He is a man named Zhen Wuchen."
"Zhen Wuchen? Is he a Han? Brother Ximen, have you heard of this person?"
"I have heard that this person was a horse thief from Tiezhou area and had some skills. I don't know how he joined Guo Yaoshi's command. It's a pity."
"Oh, then meet me."
Wu Haogu learned the news that Gao Yongchang led his troops to the south in Yaozhou City. The person who sent him this news was not the scout of the Republic Army, but the confidant Zhen Wuchen of Guo Yaoshi.
The news sounds a bit scary to the layman! But Wu Haogu is an expert now, and he just listens to it.
Gao Yongchang, the Bohai Emperor, actually had many subordinates, and there were no less than 250,000 troops near Liaoyang City alone. Most of them were brought by a group of Bohai right surnames who defected to Gao Yongchang, and about 50,000 were brought back by Gao Yongchang from the battlefield of Lushun. Now he is his personal guard of the imperial guards.
Now he has pulled so many mobs out of Liaoyang Prefecture to die.
"Twenty-five thousand? Most of them are mobs, right?" Wu Haogu asked Zhen Wuchen with a smile.
Zhen Wuchen replied respectfully: "Duo of the Bohai soldiers were farmers. The original Tokyo-Daojingzhou soldiers were hard-working, but they didn't have many weapons. Except for Gao Yongchang's personal soldiers, there was no training."
Ximen Anguo reminded: "Tokyo people have few Taoists and vast land, and these 200,000 are powerful, but they are valuable... If you can capture them, you will be 200,000 tenants and long-term workers who are familiar with the climate and land of Liaodong!"
Although he did not study military affairs seriously with Murong Wangyou, because he had trafficked medicinal materials between Song and Liao in his early years, he knew the situation of Tokyo Road in Liao Kingdom and the situation of the Bohai people.
Tokyo is vast and sparsely populated, with some land, but few people farm.
If Wu Haogu wants to place 200,000 knight households and military households here, he will inevitably prepare at least 200,000 long-term workers to carry the work...
Otherwise, relying on poor and lower-middle peasants in Youzhou who are not familiar with the situation in Liaodong, many people must starve to death and freeze to death!
"Okay!" Wu Haogu nodded, "Then we will catch more... The upper class's powerful surname is powerful. What are the differences between the Bohai and Han people below? They are all good people."
The Bohai Youn surname must be driven away! But ordinary Bohai people should stay as much as possible.
Anyway, they were Bohai slaves who were borne by the powerful and powerful surnamed You and the Khitans, but now they just change their masters.
But how to catch it? This is a problem!
"Zhen Wulang," Wu Haogu turned his eyes to the handsome Zhen Wuchen and asked with a smile: "What do you care about Guo Du?"
"Report to the rule," Zhen Wuchen said quickly, "I just want a prefecture and county that I have to guard all over the world. I hope the rule will be fulfilled."
"Okay!" Wu Haogu smiled and promised, "He will choose the prefectures and counties outside of Lushun, Liaoyang, Xianzhou, and Chenzhou."
Wu Haogu has a good reputation! At least in the eyes of the powerful people in the Liao Kingdom, he never broke his promise to agree to other people's conditions.
So Zhen Wuchen immediately bowed and bowed, "The little deceased has thanked the ruler and offered a plan for the ruler."
"Is there a plan?" Wu Haogu and Ximen Anguo exchanged glances with each other and waited for his words.
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Tell me, if it is available, your reward will be indispensable."
"Thank you for your ruling," said Zhen Wuchen. "Gao Yongchang has become the emperor now and has begun to pay attention to it. If he can give up Yaozhou City to him, he will definitely bring 50,000 imperial guards into the city. He will let Guo Duguan and other soldiers led by the right powerful men in Bohai be stationed outside the city. When the ruling comes back, he will lead the troops and bombard the camps of the right military soldiers with cannons. Guo Duguan will take the lead in escaping. The mobs under these powerful men in the right military will definitely follow them. Most of them are infantry, and only the children of the right military soldiers have horses. As long as they catch up with 100 miles, the infantry will be the ruling stewards."
Not to mention, Zhen Wuchen's wild path of military strategy is still very powerful.
If you ask Ma Zheng, Chen Jian, Xue Ding, Luo Gang, Yu Yongfu, and Wang Yan, these professional military strategists, you will definitely not think of such a trick.
"Okay!" Wu Haogu slapped Ximen An Guodao beside him, "This is the seed of a famous general! If he can be admitted to the Knights Academy for training, he will be a famous general in the Republic in a few years!
Brother Zhen Wu, our Youzhou does not receive official positions as rewards. We usually give real estate gold and silver, but we can get the soldiers who have made contributions to the Knights Academy for training.
Chapter completed!
