Chapter 1353 Internal Communication
Although the details of the attack on Majiazhuang were planned by Zheng Ai, it was indeed inspired by Liao Jie.Especially in mobilizing the personnel and equipment needed by Zheng Ai, he gave great convenience, and let the sergeants leave the public eye by retiring from the army, so as not to attract unnecessary attention.But Liao Jie really didn't expect that such an arrangement would still be noticed by someone with a heart, who took the information of these veterans and went to the Haihan people to exchange them for white silver taels.But the Haihan people actually followed the clues, checked the entire sneak attack plan in advance, and set up a trap in Majiazhuang, waiting for Zheng Ai's team to fall into the trap.
However, Liao Jie was not big enough to think that Zheng Ai's actions would be 100% successful. This kind of sneak attack and assassination in enemy-occupied areas has too many uncertain factors. Can ensure success.It's just that the current situation in Dengzhou is increasingly favorable to Haihan, and he can no longer wait patiently for a perfect opportunity.According to his relatively conservative estimate, Zheng Ai's actions have a [-]% to [-]% chance of success, which would be sky-high.So before setting off on Zheng Ai's side, Liao Jie also considered the consequences of failure and made some preparations within his ability.
The first thing Liao Jie had to guard against was of course Haihan's retaliation after the incident was revealed, but he also believed that even if Haihan would impose military strikes on Dengzhou because of this, he should not directly attack Dengzhou City.This is because the Dengzhou military is not ignorant of the strength of Haihan's local garrison. Although it cannot beat the Haihan army, it basically has a grasp of the strength of the Haihan garrison and knows that the Haihan people do not have enough troops. Troops expand the zone of control to a larger extent.
Due to this relatively obvious shortcoming, Liao Jie also realized that Haihan's attitude towards war was not as radical as he imagined. Because of the limited force and being far away from the mainland, the Haihan people's ability to bear the wear and tear of war was far worse than that of Daming.Therefore, after Haihan landed on the coast of Fushan County, he has not implemented such means as attacking the city and pulling out the village. Instead, he has gradually expanded the control area around Zhifu Island, the bank of the Jiahe River, Majiazhuang, and the Fushan Copper Mine. Expanding and connecting together, there is no direct attack on Fushan County, Qishansuo City, or the larger Dengzhou City.
Later, the Haihan people paid more attention to the Yellow Sea area. Liao Jie knew that they were secretly colluding with Pidao, and even provided food supplies to the local area semi-openly.However, this is a good thing for the safety of Dengzhou. Haihan shifted more energy to other places, so his willingness to do something locally would be correspondingly reduced a lot.
Liao Jie is convinced that even if Zheng Ai's action fails, the Haihan people should not directly attack Dengzhou City, but if they want to retaliate against places like Fushan County and Qishansuo City, it will be very difficult for Dengzhou Rescue came in time.
However, Liao Jie did not intend to notify Zhang Pucheng, the magistrate of Fushan County, and Feng Fei, the Qianhu of Qishan Institute, in advance. The reason is very simple. These places are close to the Haihan control area but have never been attacked. Apart from the explanation that Haihan is soft-hearted, The remaining possibility is that they had reached some agreement secretly with the Haihan people in exchange for the safety of the jurisdiction.Liao Jie also wanted to see how far the relationship between Hai Han and them was, and whether he would take his anger on them because of this incident.
It's just that Liao Jie never imagined that Zheng Ai, who he thought had the will to die, couldn't bear the pressure in the end and confessed him.In this way, Haihan will naturally not spread his ignorance on the magistrates who have established friendship, and will not make any tough gestures towards Fushan County and Qishan.Liao Jie wanted to take advantage of the chaos to watch the bustle of these two places, and to rectify the local civil and military officials by the way, this idea is probably going to fail.
However, for the sake of safety, Liao Jie still wanted to say hello to Chen Zhongsheng, the prefect of Dengzhou, even if there were no practical countermeasures, it would be good to be mentally prepared.Of course, it is unavoidable that Chen Zhongsheng will share the credit after the matter is completed, but if Zheng Ai's mistake causes trouble, at least one more partner will be able to take the blame.
Chen Zhongsheng was dealing with official business in the government office. Hearing that Liao Jie came to visit suddenly, he guessed that he might have an urgent military situation to communicate with him, so he immediately suspended the work at hand and welcomed him into the study for an interview.
Liao Jie's description was concise and concise, and it didn't take too long to tell Chen Zhongsheng about the matter. At this time, the handyman had just brought in the hot tea that had been brewed.
Chen Zhongsheng was silent for a while, silently digesting the information Liao Jie said in his mind, and asked after a long time: "How sure is Master Liao?"
Liao Jie understood what he was asking, and immediately responded: "Forty to fifty percent should be there."
In fact, his estimate of the outcome of the action was not so optimistic, but in the face of Chen Zhongsheng, a civil official, he still had to be more confident, lest the other party start to criticize him from now on.
But Chen Zhongsheng was not so easy to be tricked by him. After hearing this answer, he said noncommittally: "Can it be as high as [-] to [-]%? It is really so sure that Mr. Liao will not wait for almost a year before doing it?"
Chen Zhongsheng has doubts about the success probability of Liao Jie's plan. Leaving Zheng Ai's personal ability aside, this team will go deep into the enemy-occupied area to kidnap or assassinate high-ranking Haihan officials. Just this idea of action makes him very uncomfortable. look good.The two countries have not officially declared war at this stage. Even though there were several large-scale armed conflicts and some casualties last year, the two sides still tacitly did not tear off the last layer of fig leaf and continued to maintain the superficial peace.
Different from Liao Jie's view, Chen Zhongsheng believes that the reason why the Haihan people are unwilling to start a war is not because they have limited troops and cannot occupy a large area, but because they want to maintain a stable external environment for the operation of the Fushan Copper Mine.
Ever since Haihan opened mines in Fushan County, Chen Zhongsheng had always suspected that the purpose of the Haihan people coming here to seize the territory was not simply to occupy the land of Dengzhou, but to plunder the local resources of Dengzhou.Of course, Dengzhou after the war in Denglei did not have much private wealth left for the Haihan people to attack, so the resources they collected in Dengzhou were also quite different—population and minerals.
Of course, the Dengzhou government did not want to watch the resources belonging to Daming being plundered by Haihan. Chen Zhongsheng also wanted to expel the Tartars for the country and regain the lost land.But the problem is that the Ming army in Dengzhou has already proved that force cannot be used in actual combat, and Haihan seems to have no desire to further expand its territory. Therefore, in Chen Zhongsheng's view, if there is no strength to expel the Haihan people from Dengzhou at this stage, then It's better to maintain the current peace, and don't take the initiative to provoke those evil stars.
Chen Zhongsheng didn't want to rekindle the war in the area under his rule, and this time the opponent was obviously much more difficult to deal with than the Kong Youde rebels during the Denglai Rebellion.Shandong Chief Envoy has long issued a decree requiring all states to maintain local stability on their own, because most of the elite troops in this province have been transferred to the Central Plains to encircle and suppress the peasant army, so there is no way to ask for help regarding Haihan. If it is not good, it will lead to punishment.
At the moment when it is temporarily impossible to gain an overwhelming advantage over Haihan, Chen Zhongsheng would rather let Haihan continue to absorb the population and mine copper mines locally, rather than take the initiative to destroy the current peaceful situation.Although Chen Zhongsheng's tone was calm, his attitude of questioning Liao Jie's actions was fully revealed.
Liao Jie's complexion also sank: "The Haihan people are entrenched in Fushan County. As a commander, I have the responsibility to guard the land. I can't just sit back and watch the Haihan people grow up here step by step. Even if there is only a [-]% certainty, Then you have to try it to know whether it will succeed or not! Master Chen, do you really intend to surrender without a fight?"
Chen Zhongsheng responded: "Da Ming and Hai Han did not start a war, so why did you say that you surrendered without a fight? Lord Liao, don't lie. You just said this, but you didn't discuss it with me beforehand. Trouble, Mr. Liao, don't try to shirk responsibility on me!"
Seeing that the other party saw through his intentions, Liao Jie laughed dryly and said, "Master Chen, then don't think about it. If this is done, you can drive the Haihan people out of Dengzhou. How much credit is this?"
"I'm afraid you think the Haihan people are too simple!" Chen Zhongsheng shook his head and said: "They opened a mine in Fushan County, and they invested at least a few hundred thousand taels of silver for this alone. Just give up? Do you think they came to Dengzhou from the south by sea for thousands of miles just to attack the city?"
"If Zheng Ai can restrain their high-ranking officials, it will be no small matter. Only when they have bargaining chips can they give up their local industries." Liao Jie still insisted on his opinion: "If you want to win without fighting, it is The only way."
Chen Zhongsheng sighed and said, "Then what if your people miss? Have you ever thought about how to deal with the Haihan people's revenge?"
Liao Jie nodded and said: "Of course I have considered it. The Haihan people have limited strength and will not attack Dengzhou City. Even if they break through Dengzhou, it will not be of any practical benefit to them. On the contrary, it may trigger my Ming's counterattack. I believe this is not the outcome they would like to see."
"that's it?"
"That's it." Seeing Chen Zhongsheng's displeasure, Liao Jie added: "Besides, what else can the Haihan people do? Attack Fushan County or Qishan Suo? These measures will not threaten Dengzhou City. Even if they did, there would be no retaliation."
Chen Zhongsheng stared at Liao Jie and said, "It turns out that you wanted to deal with Zhang Zhixian and Feng Qianhu by the way. This is a good plan!"
Liao Jie sternly denied Chen Zhongsheng's statement: "I have no grievances with Zhang Zhixian and Feng Qianhu, so how can I clean it up? Master Chen, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Zhongsheng sneered and said, "Lord Liao, although Zhang Zhixian and Feng Qianhu did not put up a fierce resistance against Haihan, they managed to maintain the current peace. You are acting like this, are you deliberately trying to trigger a war? What does this do to you?" benefit?"
Liao Jie said: "I just want to expel the Haihan people from Dengzhou as soon as possible. As for other things, Master Chen doesn't think so much."
Chen Zhongsheng was silent for a while before he said: "You and I have different ways, and we don't conspire with each other. When will you hear back from the person you sent to Fushan County?"
Liao Jie replied: "As long as they can return to Guxian Town, we will arrange for them to escape later. If all goes well, there will be a fast horse to report back tomorrow morning at the latest."
"I will report this matter to the Chief Political Officer. Master Liao, please pray for yourself!" After hearing this answer, Chen Zhongsheng was obviously not very satisfied, and finally chose not to cooperate with Liao Jie.
Liao Jie's face became even more ugly. He originally wanted to explain a few words and it would be the end of the matter, but he didn't expect Chen Zhongsheng to have a completely different view on this matter, and he saw through his intention to find someone to take the blame with him, so he left the relationship very clean.Chen Zhongsheng reported the matter to the chief envoy. If the subsequent news was not good, then he could completely shift the responsibility to Liao Jie who planned and directed the operation.
Liao Jie cursed a few words in his heart, but he also knew that it might be difficult to persuade Chen Zhongsheng to change his mind, so he could only stand up and leave now: "In this case, then I will stop talking nonsense, Mr. Chen, please do it yourself."
"No." Chen Zhongsheng cupped his hands calmly, as a farewell.
Liao Jie snorted, turned his sleeves and walked out of the study.After leaving the government office, he went directly to the army.There are still nearly 100 Ming troops stationed in Dengzhou. Although Liao Jie thinks that Haihan will not take action against Dengzhou City, he is not [-]% sure about this matter, so he still has to go to the army to make arrangements. The reconnaissance cavalry has to set off from Dengzhou City today.
The next morning, Dengzhou City did not wait for the fast horse from Guxian Town to return.At noon there was still no news. Liao Jie kept staring at the distance of the official road from the gate tower of the East City Gate until his eyes hurt, but he still didn't see the fast horse galloping.Liao Jie already had some bad premonitions in his heart, but he still refused to give up hope.At dusk, a fast horse finally arrived on the official road, and Liao Jie, who had been waiting for a whole day, finally cheered up and hurried down the gate, wanting to hear the news from the front as soon as possible.
But the news brought back by the messenger did not change Liao Jie's uneasy mood. Zheng Ai and others did not return to Guxian Town within the agreed time.To be precise, there was no news of them at all. Since the convoy entered Haihan's control range the day before, this team had completely disappeared, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
The only sign that may be related to their disappearance is that the Haihan people have stepped up checks on people entering and leaving the occupied area.The official road leading from Guxian Town to Fushan County has been brought under military control again. Unless it is a special case of voluntary registration for immigration, those who have not been issued a pass by the Haihan official will be refused entry.
It is obviously no coincidence that Haihan suddenly tightened traffic control in the occupied area.The reason Liao Jie could think of was probably that Zheng Ai and others had already mobilized in Majiazhuang, but they didn't know what the result would be.
