After listening to Zhu Youjian's words, Zhu Chunchen felt a little relieved.
But he still didn't believe that Yuan Chonghuan could beat Huang Taiji to death... Liao Zhendu had been fighting Donglu for so many years. If he could beat the Donglu chief to death, he would have beaten him to death long ago. How could he still keep him in Shanhaiguan and beat him to death again?
The last battle of Ningjin was called a great victory, but weren't the Liao Zhen soldiers commanded by Yuan Chonghuan still pinned down in the castle by Huang Taiji and beaten? Only at the end of the battle, Huang Taiji's army was exhausted, so Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui took the opportunity to fight in the city formation and drove away the Donglu soldiers. However, not many Jiannu were actually killed. If many were killed, Jiannu would not dare to come this time.
Therefore, there is still a big gap in the combat power between Liaozhen and Donglu. If the Liaozhen army can fight fiercely based on the city, it will be considered a great victory if Donglu is driven away.
Beat Huang Taiji to death? This is a dream!
However, Zhu Chunchen did not dare to tell the little emperor if he was so disappointed, so he could only agree happily: "With Yuan Chonghuan's Liao Town elite soldiers laying a dragnet, the battle inside Shanhaiguan will be won without a doubt... I congratulate your majesty, I would like to congratulate you on the great Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as he took the lead, a group of traitorous ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the courtyard also joined in and started talking nice.
"There is no doubt that we will win the battle inside Shanhaiguan. The slave thieves will definitely be severely injured after this battle. The recapture of Liaodong is just around the corner!"
"I am invincible in the world tomorrow, long live you invincible in the world!"
"Long live Lord Shengming, long live Lord lead us to fight Shanhaiguan first, and then Shenyang City..."
"The Ming Dynasty will win, and the Eastern captives will perish..."
Of course Zhu Youjian didn't believe a word of the flattery of the traitorous ministers. In my previous life, I was almost beaten to death by Li Zicheng just because I believed in them!
However, he will not expose these traitors, and the scene of kindness and loyalty must still be maintained.
Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded. The traitorous ministers in the courtyard were speechless. They all had confident smiles on their faces. They looked treacherous!
"Of course the battle inside Shanhaiguan is bound to win," Zhu Youjian said, "but the Donglu captives have many cavalry troops, and the Jiliao soldiers are mainly infantry. It is easy to win, but it is difficult to chase and annihilate the poor bandits! Okay! I have a lot of cavalry on hand, and I can also use cavalry.
Therefore, I will not go to Shanhaiguan to join in the fun. I will go to Xuanfu first, and then go out of the Longmen Great Wall to outflank the Donglu's retreat, and rob and kill Huang Taiji halfway! "
What? You won't go? Zhu Chunchen was not stupid. He felt something was wrong as soon as he heard this. Since it's a sure win, why don't you join in the fun? Isn't it okay to follow the defeated Donglu and chase them? Why do we have to leave from Xuanfu? What kind of half-way robbery... The terrain to the east of Xuan Mansion is so complicated, with mountains and forests all over it, and it is not a place where cavalry can roam freely. Moreover, the land was huge and there were many passable roads. If these 20,000 or 20,000 cavalrymen are scattered, there will be no trace of them. How can they be robbed and killed? Where to go to rob and kill?
"Your Majesty is a master of troops, and I admire him greatly." Zhang Weixian, who had just been dismissed from the post of commander-in-chief, took the lead in flattering him. "It's a pity that I am old and can't lead troops in battle. Otherwise, I would have wanted to follow your majesty to charge into battle."
He was so proud. He had been the commander-in-chief for decades, and now he was about to go to the battlefield and was killed by the enemy, but he was thrown out of the blame.
In fact, people like him and Zhu Chunchen don't want to make meritorious deeds at all, they just want to make some money. Because he is the British Duke, Zhu Chunchen is the Duke of Chengguo. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not granted the title of king while they were still alive, and the Duke of the country came to an end. Moreover, these two princes are still hereditary princes with iron-clad alchemy certificates. If they can't be promoted anymore, what kind of merit can they do? If you have done good deeds, will you go to achieve great results and shock the master?
Zhu Youjian nodded with a smile, "The British master is old and strong! Although you can't charge in front of the battle, your old reputation is still there, enough to sit on one side and intimidate the Hulu..."
His tone had become serious, "I heard from Princess Wu Liangha that Huang Taiji's younger brother Dorgon was the best at attacking Qiu, and he was awarded the title of Faqiubele. Every time he sent out troops, he would lead a group of Tatars along the way. Look for the emperor's tomb, the tomb of a wealthy family, and dig the tomb to get treasures. This time the slaves came to the country with the intention of plundering property, and they will not let go of the late emperor's tomb in Tianshou Mountain. If the king's ministers and Yuan Chonghuan can't block them in Tu'er To the east of the mountain. The Jiannu Brigade will definitely attack Tianshou Mountain to excavate the tombs of our Ming Dynasty emperors. And the chief military officer of Changping Town who guards Tianshou Mountain... I want to ask the British Duke to take over, and there is a British Duke here. Changping, if you want to go to Faqiu Beiledorgon, you will definitely not dare to go there."
What? Fachubeile? real or fake?
The nobles in the courtyard all heard for the first time that there was something about Lord Qiubele, but they did not dare to suspect Zhu Youjian of lying. The little emperor already said that this was the news he got from Princess Wuliangha. They are Mongolians who joined the Han tribe. The relationship between the Mongols and the Jianzhou Jurchens can be said to be that there is me in you, and you are in me. You should know the Jianzhou Jurchens better than the Ming Dynasty, right? Maybe there really is a Tatar from Faqiu!
Many nobles are beginning to worry about their ancestral tombs... They are all aristocratic and wealthy families. Their ancestral tombs are luxuriously built, and there are many good things buried with them. If the slaves are to dig them up, they will Sorry, ancestors!
Most of the ancestral graves of these nobles in Beijing are also within the defense area of Changping Town!
This Changping Town is one of the so-called Jiubian Thirteen Towns. Jiubian was originally nine towns. Later, Shanhai, Changping, and Zhenbao Town were separated from Jizhou Town, and Lintao Town was separated from Gansu Town, forming the Nine sides and thirteen towns. In addition, in the Ming Dynasty, there were also the sayings of nine sides and eleven towns and nine sides and sixteen towns, which were nothing more than the division and combination of border towns. When Zhu You inspected and transferred the Liao army into the pass, he merged Yongping and Miyun (one of the sixteen towns) into Ji Town, but retained Changping Town, which was dedicated to guarding the imperial tombs - he was also called upon to do so. The treacherous son deceives me, I really believe that Dorgon is Lord Faqiubele!
Zhang Weixian was forced by Zhu Youjian, and his good mood disappeared instantly. But he couldn't push away the glorious mission of guarding the imperial mausoleum and fighting against Lord Faqiubele. Because the ancestral grave of his British prince is also in Changping. If Dorgon digs it, will he be worthy of his ancestors?
Moreover, the general soldier of Changping Town is in charge of the Tianshou Mountain garrison, and there are thirteen mausoleum guards under the Tianshou Mountain garrison. These mausoleum guards have always been lacking for the nobles of Beijing. Zhang Weixian is the leader of the nobles of Beijing, and he has to guard them for everyone. .
If he doesn't take up this burden, others may not be able to take it up. Looking back, Dorgon really dug up the imperial mausoleum in Tianshou Mountain. Even if he only dug out a corner, Zhu Youjian would have an excuse to clean up Changping Town and Tianshou Mountain garrison office.
However, he cannot easily fill this hole. The reason is very simple: Changping Town is empty! This Changping town has a salary of 360,000 yuan a year. The number of host and guest troops on the books should be 30,000, but in fact, I don’t know if there are 10,000? And the ones that can really fight are probably not even worth 3,000!
"Your Majesty," Zhang Weixian reported, "Changping Town is a military town with no real territory. If I become the commander-in-chief, I can only manage the army but not the people...and Changping has very few places under its control. The Ming Tomb Guards They are all in the mountains, and I’m afraid they can’t be controlled by just 30,000 soldiers. We must mobilize the strong men of the people to help fight.”
"Divide the land for you!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "Changping Prefecture, Huairou County, Yanqing Guards, Baiyangkou Office, and Zhenbianbao Office are all under the control of Changping Town... I will not send a governor. I will give you the British public administration! In addition, you will also be responsible for guarding Tianshou Mountain."
This is about taking charge of the army and taking charge of the people!
And the British public can really take care of it!
"Your Majesty," the British Duke gritted his teeth and said, "Changping Town has been at peace for a long time, and there are too many soldiers and horses to fight. I want to mobilize the elite troops of Xuanfu into Changping."
He didn't dare to ask for the Beijing camp, and if he didn't come to Datong town troops and Zhangqian troops, he could only rely on the Xuanfu. Although Xuanfu soldiers are not as good as Liao soldiers and Datong soldiers, they are border troops after all and can still fight.
"Here you go!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "Except for Hou Shilu's retainers and Zhenbiao, all other Xuanfu soldiers, regardless of host or guest, will be transferred to Changping. I will lead the Zhang Qian army and Datong soldiers to Xuanfu, which is enough to ensure the safety of Xuanfu. Lord British, I will leave the town of Changping to you! Don’t let Dorgon’s Faqiubele disturb the purity of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!”
