A rush of footsteps entered the central hall of the Military Department Yamen.
It was almost dusk, and in the middle hall of the Ministry of War, there were only two people, Wang Zaijin, Shangshu, and Zhang Fengyi, the censor of Youdu and the right minister of the Ministry of War. We didn't do any business, we just talked with our hands, black and white were intertwined on the chessboard, and the endgame was reached before our eyes.
The person who came running out of breath was a middle-aged official named Yu Dacheng from the Staff Department of the Ministry of War.
These days, Datong sees that the overall situation has been decided. But the young emperor was still wandering outside the border wall with Princess Wu Liangha, and surrounded himself with such great nobles as Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi, and Luo Sigong. Moreover, he also issued an edict to have the eunuch Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch Bingbi, and the eunuch Shang Fuming, the imperial eunuch, escort Empress Zhou, Concubine Tian, and Concubine Yuan together to the Xuanfu Valley Palace to wait for their arrival (initially they were asked to go to Datong , and later changed to Xuanfu), which imitated Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty in opening a national government office. However, Wang Zaijin and Zhang Fengyi were not in a hurry, because they were both experts in military management, so they could naturally see the emperor's methods of organizing the army and practicing martial arts. Moreover, they did not form cliques, nor did they blackmail thousands of acres of military villages, nor did they take advantage of quota quotas. They did not worry at all about the emperor's methods of punishing people. Moreover, the emperor is now very relaxed about government affairs and obeys the advice of the Ministry of War... As long as Wang Zaijin and Zhang Fengyi report the strategies, they will be approved and will never be rejected.
Therefore, Wang Zaijin and Zhang Fengyi enjoyed their official positions and could give full play to their abilities. They also enjoyed the emperor's troubles in Datong and Xuanfu. After a lot of hard work in Datong, they had more than 40,000 actual troops! The Xuan Mansion might be able to mobilize 40,000 actual troops if they try hard... plus the emperor's army in front of the tent, as well as the Yiding cavalry from Wuliangha Wanhu Orduo, by the end of the year It is estimated that an army of 100,000 can be formed!
With this number, the work of the Ministry of War will be easy... It will not be that easy to recover Liaodong, but at least Liaodong can be trapped to death - for those who know how, there is no difference between being trapped to death and beating to death!
If the three towns of Xuan, Da, and Ji can have 100,000 more capable troops, the defense line of the Great Wall will be impregnable... There is also Mao Wenlong in southern Liaoning to block and harass Jinzhouwei and Pidao. On the grassland outside the Great Wall There is also Hutu Dunhan who is already on the side of Ming Dynasty. The life of a slave will not be easy in the future!
In addition, Wang Zaijin and Zhang Fengyi also hope to send elite troops to northern Shaanxi and Sichuan... The civil uprising in northern Shaanxi is getting bigger and bigger! And the Anshe Rebellion (the rebellion of two chieftains) in Sichuan is endless. These two troublemakers must be eliminated as soon as possible!
If these things can be accomplished, then the days of peace in all directions will not be far away...
The two of them, who were in a good mood, looked up together and saw Lang Zhong from the Staff Department of the Ministry of War, who usually showed a graceful attitude. Yu Dacheng stood there with his face flushed, holding a book in his hand and pointing at it. The two people who were talking were still gasping for air!
Wang Zaijin and Zhang Fengyi looked at each other and frowned. There are a lot of things that make people anxious and angry recently... They are all caused by the little Banzai who is brave enough to win three armies!
Wang Zaijin immediately asked: "Ji Sheng, what happened to Long Live Lord?"
Yu Dacheng just shook his head and said while breathing heavily: "No, it's not Long Live Lord... it's slave chief Huang Taiji!"
Zhang Fengyi smiled when he heard this: "Huang Taiji has begun to attack the border wall of Ji Town? Where is the emergency?"
Don’t be afraid of any emergency!
Zhang Fengyi and Wang Zaijin are both conservatives in the "Ping Liao Strategy" - in their view, the emergency at the Great Wall in Jizhou Town is an excuse to further withdraw defenses from western Liaoning!
Yuan Chonghuan now has 46,000 actual troops on hand. If he is transferred to Shanhaiguan and joins Jizhou Town, the number of defenders in Jizhou Town will be as many as 80,000.
Nothing is enough!
And Long Live Lord will soon be able to raise an army of 100,000. One hundred thousand plus 80,000 equals 180,000!
This is a real force, not a paper force.
With this number, plus a long live master who really understands military affairs, Huang Taiji will die!
Yu Dacheng took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Huang Taiji broke into the Great Wall! He broke the entrance to the Yiyuan... Now there are at least tens of thousands of slave-building troops inside and outside the entrance to the Yiyuan!"
"What?" Zhang Fengyi roared, "Break the entrance to Yiyuan? How is this possible? The entrance to Yiyuan is right next to Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan can be defended by sending thousands of troops there. How can it be broken?"
The terrain of the Yiyuankou Great Wall is very dangerous, which is different from the Datong Border Wall that has been in disrepair for a long time. The Great Wall at Yiyuankou is built on the ridge. They are all tall brick walls with piers and abutments at regular intervals. They were only renovated during the Wanli period. There are thousands of people guarding this kind of defense line. How could Huang Taiji get in? Use the lives of thousands of Tatars to fill a gap?
How can it be! ?
Yu Dacheng continued: "Inspector Wang and Governor Yuan said in the report that they deliberately let Huang Taiji enter the gate of Yiyuan... They and Mr. Zhao mobilized a total of 50,000 troops to prepare to rely on Shanhaiguan. , Tuershan, Funingwei, Funing County and Huang Taiji fight to the death!"
"Then Huang Taiji..." Wang Zaijin didn't have time to listen to Yu Dacheng's words, and quickly waved to him, asking him to bring over the report from Wang Zhichen and Yuan Chonghuan.
Yu Dacheng hurriedly handed over the memorial. Wang Zaijin took it and read it word by word. After reading it, he handed it to Zhang Fengyi to read. After Zhang Fengyi had finished reading, Wang Zaijin asked: "Jiubao, what do you think?"
Zhang Fengyi frowned: "We can fight! Although we only have 50,000 people here, which is less than the military strength of Jiannu, after all, we have a strong city to rely on...Fighting based on the city is Yuan Yuanyu's specialty, even if Even if the war is unfavorable, we can shrink back into the city and defend it. Moreover, the report from Wang Zhichen and Yuan Yuan Yuan said that they are now dividing their troops to guard various fortresses and villages, and they are also clearing the country and confronting the Jiannu. The situation is good!"
Wang Zaijin frowned: "If what is said in the report is the same as the actual situation... then Huang Taiji, the slave chieftain, is far worse than his father, the slave chieftain, and he doesn't know how to fight at all!"
Zhang Fengyi nodded: "Huang Taiji himself is indeed not as good at fighting as his father... Just look at Ning Jin who sent troops on a hot day in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. It will take a long time for the army to cross the Liao River, and Ning Jin will be there early It's ready!" He laughed, "By the way, our emperor knows how to fight... If Huang Taiji confronts Yuan Yuan Yuan at the gate of Yiyuan for ten days and a half, wait for the emperor's cavalry to arrive Yongping, this battle is guaranteed to be won!”
"Let the emperor return his troops..." Wang Zaijin was a little worried.
Zhang Fengyi said with a smile: "My soldiers, the Emperor, are good at fighting, and especially good at using the cavalry army. I am much better than Yuan Yuan Yuan and others."
Wang Zaijin thought for a while and asked, "Who wants to go to the grassland?"
When Yu Dacheng heard this, he volunteered and said, "I am willing to go as an official!"
...
The young emperor, who had won the valor of the three armies, was still on the shore of Daigentala at this time, living in a villa that originally belonged to the Shunyi Prince's Palace.
Daigentala is a good place, with mountains to the north and the Great Wall to the south. It has mountains, lakes, forests, grasslands, hot springs and beaches. It can be called a small Jiangnan in the north of Saibei.
Such a blessed land was favored by the Prince of Shunyi very early on, and was turned into Wangzhuang. A lot of farmland was opened up, and the Prince's Courtyard and the Huang Temple were built.
What a great place, now it belongs to Zhu Youjian and his new favorite Princess Wuliangha. It has become a comfortable place for the two of them, and it has also become a stronghold for Wuliangha's ten thousand households.
Since Zhu Youjian now wants to use Datong as his "second home", of course, this Daigentara will be his summer resort - not only for living with Princess Wu Liangha, but also for contacting and recruiting the former Mongolian Wu Liang The men and horses of Hawanhu (Duoyan Sanwei).
According to the agreement reached by Zhu Youjian and Hutu Dunhan, Daigentala, Jininghai and the area south of it until the Great Wall were owned by Princess Ulyanha. This is a piece of land with Daqingshan on its back and facing the prairie. It is considered a very moist treasure land in the northern grassland. In particular, there are many basins in the Daqing Mountains that can be reclaimed and cultivated, and Han people who migrated from the south of the Great Wall have long settled there. Zhu Youjian only needs to appease them and he can collect rent from them like the Shunyi Palace. With this income, the food problem of Orduo's ten thousand households in Wuliangha can be solved... And the grassland to the north of Daqing Mountain can be used to raise horses. It is really a rare and good place!
