Yang Zhen also knew that he couldn't tell the truth now, and even if he told the truth, people wouldn't believe him.

The most important thing is that he actually doesn't have much confidence in whether he can do it, but he definitely can't do otherwise.

After so many years of war, the Ming Dynasty's official army, including the Liaodong army, suffered more defeats than the Jianlu troops when facing them. As a result, the vast majority of Ming soldiers were afraid of the Jianlu, especially when encountering the Jianlu in the wild.

.

These soldiers under Yang Zhen have fought against the Jianlu Jurchens for many years. They have survived to this day and have killed the Jianlu Jurchens more or less. They know that the Jurchens are not invulnerable or invincible, but they are not willing to let the peaceful life pass.

I have to go and fight Jianlu.

Yang Zhen is certainly aware of the war-weariness and war-avoidance mentality of the officers and soldiers under his command, and he himself has also thought about pretending to be ill.

However, as a time traveler, he knew even more clearly that in the era of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was no such thing as a peaceful life.

Therefore, after Yang Zhen finished speaking, he saw Zhang Degui and Li Lu, his two loyal subordinates, looking doubtful and even a little disapproving, and he quickly continued:

"Today I made three demands to Governor Fang and Marshal Zu, and they all agreed! With those three demands, when we go north this time, we no longer have to fight according to other people's fighting methods! We can fight however we want.

beat!

"Although the Tatars are powerful, they are not invulnerable! Brother Degui, brother Li Lu, after my father died in the war, you have always believed in me, Yang Zhen, and have followed me without regrets. So please give me the last

A trust and a last chance for me! If I can't succeed this time, I, Yang Zhen, am willing to die to apologize!"

While Yang Zhen was talking, he clasped his fists and bowed towards Zhang Degui and Li Lu.

"Oh my god, Master Zhen, why is this happening! Why is it happening like this! Since the day I followed the old commander, I, Zhang Degui, gave my life to the old commander. Now that the old commander is gone, my life has long been lost.

It belongs to Master Zhen! As long as Master Zhen makes up his mind, we can have nothing to say! Don’t mention any words of apology with death!"

Yang Zhen finished what he said solemnly, Zhang Degui and Li Lu were both horrified and moved.

Although Yang Zhen was close to them in the past, he had never spoken to them like this, nor had he ever spoken such heartfelt words with pleading. They were both surprised and moved, and could no longer object.

.

Zhang Degui was even more sensitive to the politeness in Yang Zhen's words, and kept showing his loyalty, without even considering what Yang Zhen said about other people's playing styles, his own playing style and other topics.

However, when everyone was quiet, Li Lu raised the question tactfully: "Brother Zhang is right! We brothers, who have followed the old commander and your lord for many years, can go up mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire with just a word from lord.

Anyone who frowns is not a child of his parents!"

After saying this, Li Lu paused for a moment, and then said: "But--this time, my lord, you have taken the order to go north to Songshan. What strategy have you thought of? How should we fight?"

At this time, Yang Zhen didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked outside the broken window. He looked at the sky and saw that it was not dark yet. He calculated the time and put it in later generations, which would be six or seven o'clock in the evening.

It looked like that, so he just said:

"It's not dark yet, please ask Yang Zhan'ao to go out and get some food and drink. If you want something better, bring it to my room!"

Yang Zhan'ao was a soldier of Yang Zhen's father. He had watched Yang Zhen grow up. Now he was the commander of Yang Zhen's soldiers. He was also the first person Yang Zhen saw after he woke up from a coma for three days and nights.

Now Yang Zhen doesn't know Yang Zhan'ao very well, but when he was pretending to be comatose, Yang Zhan'ao knelt by his kang more than once, begging Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Gods, Gods and Buddhas to bless Yang Zhen safely and wake up as soon as possible.

This point moved Yang Zhen very much. From this point of view, he concluded that this person was worthy of his trust, so after "waking up", he did not make any changes to the general selection of this crucial personal soldier around him.

.

After hearing Yang Zhen's arrangements, Li Lu knew that Yang Zhen was going to have a long conversation while eating, so he turned around and left to make arrangements.

At this time, Yang Zhen quickly stopped him and said, "Don't leave in a hurry! After arranging Yang Zhan'ao, you can personally invite Zu Keyong and invite him here!"

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhen turned to Zhang Degui and said: "If Zhang Guiyi is tired, I will go there myself and invite Xu Changyong over!"

After Zhang Degui and Li Lu heard this, they knew that they were about to talk about serious matters. They immediately received the order, turned around and went out to make arrangements separately.

Of course, Yang Zhen had seriously considered various ways to save his life when he was ordered to go north to rescue Songshan.

He had also thought about simply getting a boat out to sea as Lieutenant General Ningyuan and escaping. He would flee all the way to the south along the coastline, where he would accumulate strength and then fight against the Tatars.

However, after much deliberation, he still couldn't do it.

First of all, he couldn't leave behind the two hundred men under his command.

If these people are left behind, there is a big question mark as to whether they can successfully run to the south, or whether they can develop in the south.

Secondly, the former Yang Zhen was definitely a tall and heroic image in the minds of his subordinates. If he escaped from battle, whether these people would follow him is also a big question.

Furthermore, in terms of his personal wishes, since he has the opportunity to come to this era and still has the opportunity to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty in this parallel time and space, why not do his best to make changes? Why not work hard?

Why are you just thinking about running away before you even pay?

Yang Zhen knew very well that if he chose to escape by boat, he would neither be able to convince his soldiers nor himself.

At the same time, while he was pretending to be comatose, he thought of escaping by boat. He also thought of another route north to Songshan, a route different from the one in history.

That is to take a boat and go north by sea.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen's reign, the once glorious "Juehua Island" navy of the Ming Dynasty no longer existed, and the Liaodong army no longer had the ability to attack the hinterland of Jianlu from the sea.

But Yang Zhen knew that in February of the sixth year of Tianqi, after the naval station on "Juehua Island" off the coast of Ningyuan was captured by the Jianlu troops across the ice, the Jianlu army killed all the people on the island and robbed all the people on the island.

They burned all the supplies and ships that could not be taken away, but they did not occupy Juehua Island.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan served as the governor of Jiliao. After returning to Ningyuan, he quickly restored the grain-tuning city on Juehua Island and still used Juehua Island as the Ming Dynasty's supply and transportation of various military supplies to the Liaodong Army.

transfer station.

Moreover, the transport fleet on Juehua Island was still able to take Yuan Chonghuan and his party across the sea to the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula - the Shuangdao area. It was there that Yuan Chonghuan corrected the imperial edict and killed Mao Wenlong.

Later, Yuan Chonghuan was killed, but the Tunliang City on Juehua Island and the fleet transporting supplies were not affected by this incident because of their crucial status.

Even in the current twelfth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court's method of transferring Liaodong grain and wages through Juehua Island has not changed much.

But in addition to Juehua Island, there is another Bijiashan Hainan Liangcheng City, which is closer to Jinzhou and Songshan.

However, the Tunliang City on Juehua Island is still in operation, and according to the instructions of the governor, grain and wages are still transferred from Juehua Island to Ningyuan City on a regular basis.

Nowadays, it is no longer important to Yang Zhen whether there is a naval fleet on Juehua Island.

For him, the most important thing is that there are now a group of shipping ships from the Ming Dynasty on Juehua Island, and this is enough.

Yang Zhen was thinking about these things while waiting for the arrival of Zu Keyong and Xu Changyong. Even when Yang Zhan'ao led a few soldiers and placed several plates of beef and mutton and a jar of Shaodaozi wine on the Kang table, he

Didn't notice.

"Sir! The food and wine are all ready! Do you think I need anything else?"

While Yang Zhan'ao was talking, he put a pile of pottery bowls on the Kang table, and at the same time interrupted Yang Zhen's thinking about the route to the north.

"Take a few people and wait at the gate of the courtyard. Wait for Zhang Youyi. When Li Dusi comes back, come in and tell me immediately!"

After thinking about some things just now, Yang Zhen immediately became a little anxious.
