Of course Zhu Youjian will not forcefully withdraw troops from western Liaoning. The warlords in western Liaoning have been raised... he can only coax and deceive, not act recklessly. Otherwise, if there is a mutiny, it will not end well.
And there is no need to give up Ningyuan. Yuan Chonghuan has defended Ningyuan twice. In the first time, Nurhachi failed to defeat him. In the second time, Huang Taiji still couldn't defeat him... If Yuan Chonghuan is asked to defend Ningyuan again, he probably won't be able to defeat him. The third battle of Ningyuan.
If Ningyuan can be defended, then Shanhaiguan will be safe!
To guard Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, 30,000 "actual troops" in western Liaoning are enough, 15,000 in Ningyuan, 10,000 in Shanhaiguan, and 5,000 in the small fortress between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.
With fewer soldiers, the supply pressure will be much lighter. Moreover, Ningyuan is close to Juehua Island and is easier to supply than Jinzhou and Dalinghebao. Just save enough food for three to five years, so you won't be afraid of siege.
And although Yuan Chonghuan likes to brag, he is still relatively capable among a group of civil servants. He said that he would not be able to defeat Liao in five years, but he would have no problem guarding Ningyuan.
If Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan can be defended with 30,000 people, then Zhu Youjian can draw at least 30,000 solid troops from Liaodong. Jizhou will release 10,000, Xuanfu will release 10,000, and Datong will release another 10,000... Although it doesn't look like much, it is much better than the situation in the previous life.
The reason why Zhu Youjian wanted to chop up Yuan Chonghuan in his previous life was not what the traitor said, but because Yuan Chonghuan deceived himself by bragging - Yuan Chonghuan's bragging was five years after Pingliao, and Zhu Youjian killed him five years earlier. It’s here! How do you know it's a lie?
The reason why Zhu Youjian killed Yuan was because Yuan Chonghuan failed to defend Jizhou's defense line. He was the governor of Ji and Liao, and also the military affairs of Deng, Lai, and Tianjin. Jizhou was his defense area! But how did he defend against it? Huang Taiji was sent to the outside of Beijing. Isn't he too incompetent?
Therefore, in this life, Zhu Youjian will never let Yuan Chonghuan supervise the divisions of Ji and Liao, as well as the military affairs of Deng, Lai, and Tianjin... He does not have this ability!
Moreover, the strategy implemented by Yuan Chonghuan to deploy heavy troops in western Liaoning was fundamentally wrong and just nonsense. In his previous life, when Zhu Youjian was the emperor, he had read the battle examples compiled by Nizi himself in the textbook of the Jiangwu Hall. analyze!
Of course Zhu Youjian will not make the same mistake again.
"His Majesty......"
Sun Chengzong had not yet realized his mistake and wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Zhu Youjian's hand.
Zhu Youjian said: "I already know Sun Zongxian's advice, there is no need to say it again... Compared with Jinzhou, Dalinghebao, Xiaolinghebao and other places, Datong, Xuanfu and Jizhou are more It’s so important! And I can’t let Hutu Dunhan become the second Nurhaci, not even the second Li Yuanhao.
Therefore, I must allocate Guanning's strong force to the west route. Only by defeating Hutu Dunhan first can our country join forces with the Han tribe to fight against the Donglu! "
With a calm face, he first glanced at Luo Yangxing and Liu Chao, and then glanced coldly at the traitorous officials of the court, "What do you think, sir?"
"Your Majesty is wise! I admire you!"
"Your Majesty has a thorough plan, and he will be able to surrender the Han invaders first, and then destroy the Eastern captives..."
Of course, the traitorous ministers firmly support Mingjun... The imperial guards have all returned to work! And there is also Eunuch Liu who specializes in confiscating homes. Who dares to go against Zhu Youjian?
Zhu Youjian glanced at Sun Chengzong meaningfully again - did you see that the whole court was full of treacherous ministers who flattered him? You, a loyal and good man, have to work hard to impeach me, but you should stay away from the war... You don't understand!
Sun Chengzong had no choice!
Zhu Youjian now holds the seven inches of the traitorous officials in the court, and no one dares to go against him. And if you offer a huge reward of 1 million taels of silver at once, you will definitely be able to fool all the elite soldiers in Liao Town.
Seeing that Sun Chengzong was speechless, Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "It will be the New Year's Eve in three days... So I won't issue an order today. Everyone just has an idea. It's about mobilizing the elites of Liao Town. , let’s do it after the New Year! Yuan Chonghuan will almost arrive by then, and then call Man Gui, Zhao Lejiao, He Kegang, Zu Dashou, and Zhu Mei. Let’s discuss it carefully and see how to adjust the defense.”
What Zhu Youjian wants to transfer from western Liaoning is not 10,000 elite soldiers, but 30,000 troops... Oh, it should be 60,000 on the books!
And he also plans to establish a mechanism to temporarily summon the side commander's servants. He estimated that the Bian Shuai in the important Jiubian Town should have no less than 20,000 servants. If he raised another 10,000 servants himself, the total would be quite a lot. Although there are not as many Eight Banners soldiers as Donglu, they are enough to cooperate with the infantry using the Spanish formation.
After Zhu Youjian said this, he smiled again and said: "That's it for today...see you again in the Chongzhen Year!"
Tomorrow is already the Little New Year, and in three days it will be the first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Chongzhen!
By then, Zhu Youjian will be Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty again... It's really exciting!
The Ming Dynasty is about to usher in the first year of Chongzhen. On the side of the Great Golden Khanate, the second year of Tiancong is coming.
The Great Jin Khanate is the "Later Jin", but "Later Jin" is the name in the history books, not the official country name. The official country name is Da Jin or the Kingdom of Jin. And this country is not a kingdom or an empire, but a khanate. Because now the top leader of Daikin is not proclaimed emperor, but khan. Nurhaci said that Dajin restored the wisdom of the nations and changed the destiny of the Yuan Dynasty, so he was also called the destiny Khan. After his son Huang Taiji came to the throne, he changed his name to Tianming, so he was called Tiancong Khan.
Tiancong Khan Huangtaiji came to power one year earlier than Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, who ascended the throne on the first day of September last year. At that time, the Tianming reign name was still used, but starting from this year, it was changed to Yuan Tiancong.
So according to the calendar of the Great Jin Khanate, today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Tiancong.
Just like the Ming Dynasty, all the yamen in Shenyang have been sealed, and everyone is busy celebrating the New Year. Huang Taiji, who has a big red face, fairly regular facial features, and looks like a king, and has been smart since he was a child, which made the old Khan very happy, no longer goes to court to listen to politics today. Instead, he listened to his librarian Fan Wencheng report the news from the Ming Dynasty in his Qingning Palace.
This Fan Wencheng and his brother Fan Wencai were originally students of Shenyang County School. After Shenyang was occupied by the Dajin soldiers, they took the initiative to sell themselves and seek refuge with Nurhachi, hoping to serve for Dajin.
Of course, Nurhachi doesn't have the time to meet the Fan Wencheng brothers...if he really wants to meet them, he won't let them serve as the servants of his son Shuo Tuo.
However, Fan Wencheng was not discouraged by becoming a slave, and continued to work hard to be a good slave. Fortunately, hard work pays off, and with his efforts to curry favor, Shuo Tuo finally recommended him to Huang Taiji as a librarian in the library... It was not considered important, and his identity was still Shuo Tuo's coated slave. , but I don’t have to do the work for Shuo Tuo’s family anymore.
Fan Wencheng cherished this hard-won opportunity. After working very hard in front of Huang Taiji, he finally got the opportunity to read secret letters from the pass to his master. Most of these secret letters were sent from Zhangjiakou, where there were several Shanxi merchants had business relationships with the Inner Khalkha tribes, and through the leaders of the Inner Khalkha tribes who had taken refuge in the Jin Kingdom, they connected with the Jin Dynasty. So I often send some information to Shenyang.
The intelligence sent to Shenyang recently is all related to Zhu Youjian, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty who killed Wei Zhongxian!
This Zhu Youjian seems to be a little more powerful than his brother Zhu Youxiao... Not only can he kill people, but he is also serious about running a pro-army - the pro-army in front of the tent is still in the process of being established, which makes Huang Taiji very wary.
If the intelligence reported back from Zhangjiakou is correct, Zhu Youjian's army in front of the tent is likely to have tens of thousands of cavalry!
Although it doesn't look like much, since the rise of Daijin, it has not fought against the Ming army with this number of retainers... If the ten thousand retainers are really successful, they will not be able to defeat the main force of the Eight Banners soldiers of Daikin. , will also cause great losses to the Kingdom of Jin.
Moreover... the Eight Banners soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom are not unified under the ownership of Huang Taiji, but belong to a group of flag masters Beile and Baile, Beizi. None of the banner masters Beile can produce a single flag. Ten Thousand Iron Horse Riding Armor!
In other words, although this servant of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot defeat the Great Jin Kingdom, he can defeat any of the banner leaders of the Great Jin Kingdom, Baylor.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had no servants, so he probably wouldn't be killed by his subordinates. And if the Great Golden Khan didn't have the two yellow flags... things would be a bit difficult!
