All Heavens and Worlds Modified History System

Chapter 61 The three camps have long been abandoned

The morning sun in early spring, like a delicate golden ribbon, shines into the house through the glass, casting mottled light and shadows.

Chen Ran removed the slender arm pressing on his neck and opened his eyes. The first thought in his mind was, "A quiet life is really not suitable for me."

As winter turned to spring, he hadn't received any modification prompts from the system for several months.

In other words, during this period of time, life was too boring, dealing with military affairs during the day and bed affairs at night.

I tried to stand up quietly, but someone grabbed my wrist.

"Master." Taohuashan struggled to get up. "I will serve you, Master."

"You continue to rest." Chen Ran comforted the girl, "Losing too much water is not good for your body. I'll ask someone to bring you milk later."

The girl's pretty face was shy and flushed with red, just like the blood-stained peach blossom fan that night.

Raising his hand to tear off the Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce sticker on his lower back, Chen Ran's face fluctuated a little. "I have used up everything I can use. I can't live this peacefully anymore. I want to do something big!"

After washing up, I had breakfast with Qiu Niang.

In the morning, he went to the main hall to handle military affairs and receive visiting generals.

After lunch, they set out to inspect various military camps. Simply put, they showed off their reputation in front of the soldiers and strengthened their control over the army.

After returning before dusk, he would first exercise in the martial arts field, practicing martial arts, archery, etc.

After that, I took a shower and went back to the backyard to have dinner. According to Qiu Niang's arrangement, I went to different yards to rest and take a nap.

Life is too dry, but he has no choice.

Sending troops to Shenyang City was a massive undertaking. It would take several months just to transport the massive amount of supplies from various places.

Fortunately, guest troops from various places gradually gathered and things were progressing in an orderly manner.

With the arrival of various guest troops, Chen Ran's life gradually became lively. Generals from all over the country visited him, hosted banquets, and thanked him for his equal treatment.

The Ming army's guest troops were treated well, but their actual situation was very bad.

Internal conflicts continue, and all kinds of obstacles and dirty tricks emerge one after another.

The reason why the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies on the banks of the Hunhe River went on a rampage was that they were completely enraged by the stumbling block in Liaozhen.

Fortunately, Chen Ran treated the guest troops equally and did not play any tricks in the supply of military supplies, which won the approval of Qin Liangyu and others.

The three main camps also arrived, and the leader was still my father-in-law Zhang Zhiji.

It is obvious that Zhang Zhiji has been much more honest this time and has been educated by the British public.

Qiu Niang went to see him several times, and she didn't look very well when she came back.

"Father treated you badly."

"It's more than just bad." Chen Ran also laughed, "He cursed at me."

"Don't be embarrassed." He comforted Qiu Niang, "This time, we will send troops to give Old Taishan a chance to show his face."

The opportunity will definitely be given, but everyone knows that Zhang Zhiji will not be able to seize it.

The reason why Zhang Zhiji and the three battalions were summoned here was to let them show their poor performance in the battle.

Otherwise, how could the emperor make up his mind to transfer himself to reorganize the three camps?
Without this excuse, how could he reasonably lead his troops to the capital?

Old Taishan? The scapegoat specially summoned to take the blame.

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's organizational and mobilization capabilities were still pretty good.

Unlike many years later, the Ming Dynasty was so riddled with holes that it had lost its ability to struggle and could only passively take a beating.

After several months of preparation and deployment, the preliminary preparations for the attack on the Jiannu were barely completed.

He arranged for Zhao Lushi to go to southern Liaoning as a detachment to threaten Liaoyang from Xiuyan, Fenghuangcheng, Kuandian and other places.

Chen Ran himself led the main force out of Ningjin and went to Guangning, crossing the Liaohe River and Hunhe River and headed straight for Shenyang City.

In order to attack the city, the Ordnance Bureau worked overtime to produce muskets and cannons. Even many cannons used to defend cities were taken away.

After the spring plowing was completed, everything was ready and we were just waiting for Lord Zhou to come.

After all, it is the Ming Dynasty's disgusting tradition to control military power with culture.

For such a large-scale military operation, civilians must nominally be in charge.

By the same token, Song Gaozong, who kept saying that he would not be the emperor, sent his trusted eunuchs to serve as military supervisors.

The eunuch Cao Huachun, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, had no chance because he was too close to Zhou Yanru and others.

The person who came was Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

"Zihou."

At the dinner party to welcome Zhou Yanru, he looked around at the generals and asked in confusion, "Why is General Man Gui not here?"

"He went to Gubeikou." Chen Ran bowed and said, "The Jiannu have also made some moves recently. I'm afraid they are trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west. So General Man Gui went to prepare for it."

The Ming army's confidentiality system was like a sieve, or even nonexistent.

The spies arranged by the Jiannu in the capital could hear court officials chatting about military and political affairs in the Qinlou and Chuguan.

Huang Taiji had known about the offensive, which had been planned for such a long time and was of such a large scale, for a long time.

Chen Ran understood Huang Taiji and Emperor Chongzhen.

He concluded that Huang Taiji, who possessed a strategic vision, would certainly send people to invade the empty capital area via the grassland in order to intimidate the emperor who was easily frightened and would react to stress.

The emperor appears to be powerful but is actually weak. If his strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao succeeds, he may have to issue twelve golden medals to summon the army back to rescue him.

Mentioning the arrangement of Man Gui to deal with it is what should be done.

Zhou Yanru didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

After going through the standard official procedures and waiting for everyone to leave, Lord Zhou and Chen Ran came to the study for a secret meeting.

Don't get me wrong, we're talking about big things.

"Zihou." Zhou Yanru was not vague and went straight to the point. "Do you know what to do after destroying the Jiannu?" "Let's not talk about other things. The Liao army will definitely be gone." After joking, Chen Ran responded seriously, "After the matter is accomplished, transfer me back to reorganize the three camps."

Zhou Yanru, a seasoned man, understood the meaning of the words as soon as he heard them and was horrified.

"You are well-read in history books." Chen Ran stood with his hands behind his back. "You should know how many times the bow is put away after the birds are killed. Instead of waiting for others to make a move, it is better to strike first."

Of course Zhou Yanru understood, especially in the Ming Dynasty.

The civil officials would not allow a strong military general to rise no matter what, as this would affect the efforts of all the civil officials over the past two hundred years!
Although he and Wen Tiren are helping each other openly and secretly in the court now, what can the elder do in the face of the general trend?

Interests, the two hundred years of interests of the civil servants must not be touched.

After defeating the Jiannu, Chen Ran could still live a wealthy and idle life if he handed over his military power.

Otherwise, you might have to go to Fengbo Pavilion.

Zhou Yanru was very conflicted.

On the one hand, he was a civil servant and did not want to betray his group.

On the other hand, he admired Chen Ran, thinking that this man could create a brand new future and would not give up the great opportunity to leave his name in history books.

Confusing, very confusing.

"Please think about this carefully, Lord." Chen Ran left this sentence and turned away.

He believed in the system's ability to hang up his father, and Zhou Yanru could not withstand it.

A few days later, the chief minister of the cabinet mobilized the troops.

Military commanders from all over the country gathered together, Zhou Yanru read out the imperial edict, and then announced that the power to command the front-line troops would be handed over to Chen Ran.

As for the elder himself, he stayed in Jinzhou City, supervising the civilians to transport logistical food and supplies, and waiting for good news from the front line.

Chen Ran naturally took the C position, and his first order was to arrange the three battalions to serve as the vanguard.

Zhang Zhiji was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't dare to fire a thorn after receiving a lesson before. He could only glare at Chen Ran.

There is no point in being angry. Once the military order is given, it must be executed.

There were about 15,000 troops in the three camps this time, most of whom were beggars and ruffians who were temporarily captured and paid to replace them.

Not to mention fighting, even marching was a mess.

In other words, Liaozhen is full of military settlements, and there are no villages or towns for them to harm, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might happen.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhiji had a group of experienced officers under his command, and they finally brought all the troops to Guangning Guard.

Then, trouble arose again.

Ever since the Guangning Guards withdrew their troops that year, this place has become completely deserted. There is no human habitation within a hundred miles, as if it were a wilderness.

These ruffians from the capital had never seen such a horrible place before. They all clamored to return to the capital and took the opportunity to ask for money for their departure.

Zhang Zhiji had a splitting headache, but he couldn't handle it himself, so he simply threw everything to Chen Ran.

"Eunuch Wang." Handing Zhang Zhiji's angry letter to Wang Chengen, Chen Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I thought the three battalions were very powerful, so I arranged them to be the vanguard. I never thought..."

"Three major camps, ah~~~" Wang Chengen sighed repeatedly. The three major camps had long been abandoned.

He also thought that Chen Ran was specially arranged to be a striker who could easily excel in order to take care of his father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, let alone fighting, even the marching became a joke.

"Don't worry, Marshal. We will report these matters to the Emperor."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

This is the effect Chen Ran wanted. He wanted to display all the rotten meat from the three camps to the emperor. Only then would Zhou Yanru and others advise him to reorganize the three camps.

The Beijing camp was in turmoil in Guangning Wei for several days, and there was even a large number of deserters.

This made the Jin soldiers, who had lured the enemy deep into their territory, almost unable to resist the urge to take the initiative to attack.

Fortunately, a few days later, follow-up troops arrived, bringing with them hundreds of captured deserters.

In front of everyone, all the deserters were beheaded, and the Beijing camp finally behaved.

After passing Guangning Wei, the Liao River is ahead.

If we ride faster, we can reach Shenyang City from Liaohe River in one day.

The Beijing Camp, as the vanguard, began to build a pontoon bridge as soon as they arrived at the bank of the Liao River.

After all, it is the job of a pioneer to cut through mountains and build bridges over rivers.

The ruffians in the capital had never done such hard work before, and they were all complaining.

After much difficulty, a floating bridge was built and thousands of people crossed the river. Dozens of Jiannu scouts appeared on the opposite side.

They hadn't even launched the charge yet, they had merely shown up to conduct reconnaissance, and the thousands of Beijing troops that had crossed the river were immediately blown up.

Wang Chengen, who came to the bank of the Liaohe River with Chen Ran, witnessed with his own eyes the thousands of Beijing troops on the opposite bank rushing frantically onto the narrow floating bridge, fighting each other with swords in a scramble for survival.

He watched as more and more soldiers from the Beijing camp fell into the Liao River and soon disappeared without a trace.

Wang Chengen was stunned.

He knew that the Beijing Army was extremely bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad!

There are only dozens of people on the opposite side, but the Beijing troops have at least two to three thousand. Is that all?
"You must tell the emperor that the Beijing camp is no longer able to protect him~~~"

Looking at the Tartars on the other side of the river who were showing off their might and wantonly hunting down ruffians, Chen Ran's mind was not here at all.

Subtitles floated before his eyes again after several months.

"You gather the best troops from across the Ming Dynasty to launch a decisive battle, and Huang Taiji decides to siege the city."

'You can change two of the words.'
