Chapter 893

He won the first battle, but Yang Sichang was not happy.

Even his soldiers were unhappy.

Cangzhou is an important town connecting beizhili with Shandong. It is a magic claw for the Chinese army to go deep into beizhili. With it as a forward position, the Chinese army can spy on the capital at any time.

But after conquering this important town, they didn't gain as much as they thought. It was agreed that this is a rich place. What about Jinshan and Yinshan? They just laid down a city that was burned and burned into a white land.

The four walls are still good, but most of the buildings inside have burned down, leaving only thousands of hungry people who want to extort some money and food from here. These people also take the initiative to beg the officers and soldiers to give them some rations and let them live.

This made his soldiers have an idea, that is, they planned carefully and prepared to do a big deal. Who knows, they robbed a beggar, penniless and wasted their rations.

Moreover, their war reports are not easy to write. They did capture Cangzhou City, but they did not have much booty, nor did they cut off many enemy heads. They only had more than 200 heads, but it was difficult to make a job.

When they report to the military headquarters, they are afraid that they will say that it was not you who attacked, but the enemy who took the initiative to retreat because of the prestige of the imperial court. This credit is in vain.

Such a situation made Yang Sichang and his men frown.

One of Yang Sichang's generals said: "it's not like what the imperial court promised. The imperial court asked the brothers to fight desperately? They didn't even give the starting fee. They were allowed to raise food locally, but there was no food in this place. What should we do?"

Yang Sichang said angrily, "did the imperial court ever owe you an army ring? Did you say such a thing?"

The general said angrily: "up to now, the imperial court has not owed the army, but we all know that the rules of the imperial court, double military pay in wartime, as well as the promotion fee, resettlement fee and so on, these money have not been found, and the brothers have no bottom in their hearts."

Yang Sichang said, "it's clear in the imperial edict that all these things are raised in Shandong."

The generals didn't like to hear it. He said, "what if Shandong is like this?"

Yang Sichang said, "then we will continue to pursue, to Shandong, Jinan and Nanjing, to see where Liu thief can escape. After the war, the imperial court will reward you with merit and give you all these fields, luxury houses and beautiful women? Isn't it fast?"

This officer is an old Youzi who has been a soldier for more than ten years. He hasn't seen any big cakes. Others want to deceive him by saying a few words in vain? Now the imperial court just draws a big cake, which makes him work hard easily?

If they didn't want to take the opportunity to make a fortune, they wouldn't be cheated at all. Now they see that the Chinese army is not easy to fight. If they don't make a good trip to Shandong, it may not be as easy to earn as they imagined.

At this time, an aide around Yang Sichang also pointed out his concern. This is that they have too few heads, only a mere 200 heads. They are embarrassed to report military merit. They dispatched 300000 troops to storm a city, but they have only captured more than 200 heads. This military newspaper is not easy to write. It will say that the other party's people escaped, right? This war report is really hard to write.

Yang Sichang asked, "brother Li, what do you think we should do?"

The aide surnamed Li said, "there are thousands of people here in the city. If you cut off all these heads, the number will be very good. The officials in the court can't find any problems."

Yang Sichang's face changed. He said, "these are the people of Daming."

Li Congyun, the staff member, said: "they are all anti people from thieves. Who knows if there are spies and dark piles ambushed by the Chinese army to spy on the military situation of our army, take the opportunity to spread rumors and disturb the morale of our army. This is the specialty of the Chinese thieves

When Li Congyun said this, Yang Sichang was silent.

Yang Sichang was silent. His men immediately understood. Li Congyun made a gesture to the leaders, and they nodded and went to do it immediately.

This kind of thing can only be understood, unspeakable, and there can be no formal order. If you drop the handle and fall into the hands of political enemies, it's a great crime to lose your head.

Pity these people. In line with the complex of hard to leave home and cheap people, no matter how intimidated and lured by the Chinese army, they are not willing to follow the Chinese army. They are only willing to stay in their hometown and guard this land and ancestral graves. They are thinking that we are not officials in China and have never eaten the food of the Chinese army. We are all honest people. We have no money, and those who are officials can make money How are they?

What can officials do to them? They have no money, but in the eyes of officials, as long as they are people, there will always be a way to make money.

Since the generals under Yang Sichang had acquiesced, they ordered all the thieves to be cut off. If there were women in the crowd, young and beautiful, they would all be distributed to meritorious men, which could be regarded as a little booty.

In the first World War of Cangzhou, the important town of Cangzhou almost became a white land. Yang Sichang took Cangzhou and didn't get what he wanted, so he had to order the troops to continue to move forward.

Yang Sichang also understood that what is called speed of arms. It was not easy to wait until this day. He could not give up this great opportunity. Moreover, there was another problem. If he could not seize the opportunity and let the Chinese Army counter attack, they would be bored.

More importantly, they also found out that the Chinese army has not deployed its troops at all. Taking advantage of the other party's failure to deploy its troops, they may be able to win Jinan before the enemy's army arrives.

They captured Cangzhou and eradicated the claws of Liu thieves who went deep into the land of beizhili. They began to order to send troops to attack Dezhou. As long as they captured Dezhou, they could follow the official path and directly attack Qingzhou mansion and the third east mansion.

Among the tasks assigned to Yang Sichang by the imperial court, he was also responsible for attacking Dongsan mansion. Their plan was that Yang Sichang led his troops to attack Dezhou of Dongchang mansion, while Hong Chengchou led his army to attack Liaocheng and Linqing frontline in the West. They invaded Shandong from Dongchang mansion, and then divided their troops into two routes, one to attack Dongsan mansion, Liu thief and Lao suppression, and the other to Jinan mansion, If successful, the two sides will join forces in Jinan, and then go south on a large scale along the official road. After flattening the enemy in Shandong, they will directly enter the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, hoping to flatten the enemy in the north at one fell swoop.

They have a million troops in their hands. Of course, they are full of confidence, but they have a million troops. They dare not say they have crossed the Yangtze River to calm the world, because they all know that the Yangtze River is a natural danger. They don't have enough sailors and ships. If they cross the river, they can easily destroy the Warsaw army.

Unfortunately, the most powerful Chinese army is their navy. Now the officials of the Ming Dynasty are still celebrating. These stupid losers of the Chinese army have invested so much resources and strength in the investment of the Navy.

The officials in the imperial court knew that the navy was very expensive. A main ship could feed many people. The imperial court was so greedy because of the Navy's corruption that they wanted too much money. Therefore, they gradually reduced their expenses and restrained their development, so that they had no chance to ask for money and corruption.

Anyway, even if you are the most powerful Japanese pirates and pirates, you can't hit the land. Now, the imperial court has sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the south to attack the Longxing land of the Chinese army and their confidants.

The imperial court had a large number of troops and a wide range of generals. It invaded Shandong from several directions. The first to send out was Yang Sichang's department. After hearing that Yang Sichang's Department was sent out, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate and sent his army to besiege Hejian mansion.

Zhu Xieyuan was even more fierce. Guide's house in Pro Free Henan stormed Yanzhou's house in Shandong, and sent a general to lead 100000 troops south to Xuzhou, attacking in two directions. For a moment, there were wars in Shandong.

When the emperor was rehearsing military chess in the imperial study, he was elated to see that hundreds of thousands of troops of the Imperial Court went out and made such a big scene. It was really overwhelming and invincible.

Moreover, the officials of the whole court are still laughing at the stupid losers of the Chinese army. They have invested so much money and resources to build their navy. In the South and by the sea, they are really arrogant and arrogant. The officials and troops of the court are not their opponents, but now they are playing on land. Are they stupid? They sit on a huge Navy, but they can't go ashore. They can only worry and stare at the sea.

In this decisive battle, the imperial court was also considering the threat of the enemy's navy. On the one hand, they bought the Cao Gang and paralyzed the canal, so that the other side's navy could not go out, transport materials, send troops and provide firepower for the army along the canal, so that their powerful navy could not play a role at all and became a role in the theater.

It can be said that the rebellion of the Cao Gang was equivalent to cutting off one arm of Liu Jiajun, making them have powerful naval divisions in the battlefield of Shandong, but they can't be used, which makes many officials of the imperial court proud.

The officials of the imperial court also know the power of the Chinese navy. Their main naval gunboats are equivalent to a mobile small city and a mobile battery group. They can flatten a city wherever they go, but what can you do if we don't fight you in the sea? In the first stage of the war, they didn't capture and occupy the coastal cities. What else can you look like outside the range of your artillery?

In the general thinking of the imperial court, they understood very well that Navy Liu Jun had no way to face it for the time being, so they first calmed the land, and then drove these people to the sea. They either became dans on the sea and drifted all their lives, or they took refuge in the Imperial court. This was also the means of Taizu emperor to deal with Fang Guozhen and others.

At this time, the officials of the imperial court were also very proud. Fortunately, they didn't invest so much money to build a navy, which made these officials and maritime businessmen earn money for nothing.

Now there is a world changing war, but these sailors can't provide any help. They can only worry and stare at one side.
