Laizhou.
Huang Fei, commander-in-chief of the navy, stepped into the Dengzhou military camp.
After arriving at the military camp, he glanced around and asked the soldier next to him, "Where is Yang Yufan?"
"Lord Yang is ill and is resting in the tent."
"Are you sick?" Huang Fei had a bad feeling.
It would be bad if Yang Yufan became ill from overwork like his father Yang Zhaoji.
Yang Zhaoji was a very famous military general during the Chongzhen period.
Fight the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, fight the Mongols in Gansu, and fight the Jiannu in the capital.
Win every battle!
He was recuperating in his hometown in Shandong during the Ji Si Rebellion.
Upon hearing that the Jiannu had besieged the capital, Yang Zhaoji became furious and led hundreds of his family servants and more than 2,000 militiamen to attack the capital in a mighty force.
At that time, Daishan and Jirgalang were attacking Deshengmen.
Hou Shilu was defeated, Man Gui suffered heavy casualties, and the imperial court had no troops available.
Yang Zhaoji led his troops to meet the enemy in formation outside the city and engaged the Eight Banners soldiers head-on.
result.
This makeshift team was better at fighting than the regular army. They were not at a disadvantage even when outnumbered two at one, and they simply stunned Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji had no idea where these 3,000 elite soldiers came from, and was so frightened that he retreated twenty miles.
At that time, some people said that although this team did not have the name of Qi's Army, it was as brave as Qi's Army.
Therefore, Chongzhen appointed Yang Zhaoji as the Left Commander-in-Chief, General of the Palace Guard, Grand Tutor, and Right Pillar of the State.
Unfortunately, Yang Zhaoji died of overwork in the fourth year of Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was in great pain after hearing the news, and posthumously conferred the title of Shang Zhuguo, Guanglu Dafu, and granted Yang Zhaoji the title of Tai Shi, the posthumous title of Wuxiang, and granted him an imperial funeral (state funeral).
Although Yang Yufan is not as famous as his father, his contributions are also considerable.
His greatest achievement was defending Laizhou when Kong Youde rebelled.
You should know that in order to capture Clayton State, Kong Youde transported all the red cannons to the city and bombarded the city walls day and night.
As a result, after fighting for seven months, during these more than 200 days, Kong Youde failed to capture Laizhou.
Yang Yufan became famous in one battle.
Huang Fei wanted to go in and see how Yang Yufan was doing, but he had an imperial edict in his hand that had not yet been read.
In desperation, he could only shout to the military tent: "Yang Yufan, come out and receive the order."
Hearing someone outside the tent shouting to receive the decree, Yang Yufan ignored his physical discomfort and ran out to kneel down: "Your Highness Yang Yufan receives the decree."
Huang Fei opened the imperial edict and read: "The Jiannu invaded the pass and plundered money and food, slaughtering the people. They deserve to be executed. As a military commander, Yang Yufan should charge into battle and kill the enemy to serve the country."
"Yang Yufan of Jin is now the general of Shandong, and is appointed as the vice governor, to guard Deng and Lai. I decree this."
Yang Yufan kowtowed: "Your servant Yang Yufan accepts your order and thanks you."
After receiving the imperial edict, Huang Fei reached out and helped Yang Yufan up and asked, "Old Yang, are you feeling better?"
Huang Fei's navy was stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and was quite familiar with Yang Yufan.
"It's still the same."
The two of them came into the tent and sat down.
Huang Fei looked at the haggard Yang Yufan and sighed: "What has the Jiannu done recently?"
"Scouts just sent news that the Jiannu are heading north, and their main force has already reached the Weiyang area." Yang Yufan said, looking at Huang Fei: "Where are you from, Brother Huang? How did you become an imperial envoy to deliver the imperial edict?"
"Don't mention it. I took the navy to Liaonan first, then stopped in Tianjin to report to the capital. Then I took the job of delivering the imperial edict and came to Laizhou from the sea."
"Recovered southern Liaoning..." Yang Yufan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How is that possible... It was just a feint to tie down the Jiannu troops."
"That's right," Yang Yufan's bright eyes dimmed again.
"Oh, right," Huang Fei suddenly remembered something, "Before I left, His Majesty asked me to tell you that the Jiannu army is at its peak, so we cannot confront them head-on. We must strike them when we have a chance, while preserving our strength."
Yang Yufan's eyes lit up again: "Your Majesty really said that?"
"Of course. Would I dare to pass on a false order?"
Yang Yufan was greatly encouraged.
This oral order was a great blessing to these military generals.
"Order Yang Cai, Yang Zhen, and Yang Yan to come to the tent!"
......
Texas.
Wang Yongji, who had just been transferred here, took the military transfer order and read out the words on it: "Follow the Jiannu and attack them when we get a chance."
"Preserve your strength and don't rush into any attack."
He was neither forced to fight against the Jiannu nor set any goals.
Let him fight however he wants.
This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in all my years of leading troops in battles.
Wang Yongji smiled and looked at the guards outside the door: "Where is the main force of the Jiannu army?"
"Reporting to the Governor, the Jiannu's camels stretch over a hundred miles to the north, and the main force is divided into three parts: the front, the middle, and the rear. The vanguard has reached Guangrao County, and the rear is the largest, with about 30,000 to 40,000 people, wandering around Weiyang."
"Okay, I'll report back if you continue to investigate."
......
Tianjin.
Bakyong met Luo Yangxing outside the city.
"Governor Luo, how are you?"
Luo Yangxing was stunned. He previously served as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei's motto was "I hope you are well."
"I hope you are well!" Luo Yangxing laughed, then took out the imperial edict and read it word by word.
"Deputy General Bake bravely conquered the Jiannu and made many military achievements, especially the battle of Wenyu River, where he killed countless Jiannu and won my heart. He is now promoted to the rank of a thousand households of Jinyiwei, granted the title of Wuhua Imperial Edict, and appointed as the deputy governor... When the Jiannu return, they will definitely cross the Haihe River and head north. You and your Guanning Army should attack them when they are halfway across the river. Fight quickly and make a quick decision, and do not linger in the battle."
"After the attack, we immediately retreated to the city of Tianjin, and then took a detour to Tongzhou to meet up with Liu Wenyao."
"I hereby order."
