After listening to Li Ruolian's analysis, Chongzhen, who had been looking forward to this moment, calmed down and paced slowly in Dongnuan Pavilion.
Jiannu has indeed gone back to the route that he had changed in history, and he was forced to do so by himself.
Once the slaves enter the pass, the villages, towns, etc. from Longjing Pass to the surrounding Zunhua City may be occupied by the slaves.
According to historical records, there was no mass killing of Jiannu after entering the customs, but it is hard to say this time.
Once massacred, thousands of people would die.
"There is no war without bloodshed and sacrifice. Without my intervention, they would still have to enter the border. It's just a matter of sooner or later!"
Chongzhen murmured a few words to himself, and then his eyes became completely firm.
"My lord, arrange for Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, and Sun Chuanting to come see me immediately!"
"Take a few more blank imperial edicts and the seals as well!"
After Wang Chengen left in response, Chongzhen stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of thinking.
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, the three people arrived in a hurry.
Looking at the guards in front of Dongnuan Pavilion, the three people's faces suddenly became serious, something big was going to happen.
After the three people saluted, Chongzhen looked at the three people and said in a deep voice: "Jian Nu is preparing to detour to the Haraqin tribe and attack the Ming Dynasty from Da'ankou and Longjing Pass.
At present, a small force of the slave-building coalition has been found operating in Xinglong Black Pigeon Summit. "
"What?"
"How can this be?"
The three of them suddenly exclaimed, and Yuan Keli rushed to the map on the table in an instant, and immediately saw the place Li Ruolian had just marked: "It's only twenty miles away from Longjing Pass?"
The expressions of Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong, who were a step behind, changed dramatically again. They were already at the doorstep.
"Your Majesty, please go to Santun Camp and take command personally. I will definitely keep Jiannu out of Longjing Pass!"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the imperial army to reinforce!"
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, we must notify the Xuanfu and Shanhaiguan to reinforce the Santun camp."
"Don't be impatient and listen to my thoughts!"
Chongzhen waved his hand at the three people's suggestions.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, they were all on fire, why don't they just calm down?
If Santun Camp (Jizhen) cannot stop the Jiannu coalition, then the Jiannu coalition can attack Zunhua, then attack Jizhou, Tongzhou, and go straight to Beijing.
It would be a shame for the Ming Dynasty if the capital city was trapped.
If it is broken, the Ming Dynasty will be doomed.
But seeing that there was no panic or impatience on the emperor's face, we knew that the emperor must have had an idea or made arrangements.
The three of them relaxed their hanging hearts slightly and looked at the emperor with burning eyes.
"My idea is to let Jiannu enter the pass, then cut off Jiannu's retreat, and mobilize a large army to surround and kill him!"
Listening to the emperor's thoughts, the three of them were so shocked that they almost jumped up.
"Your Majesty, no, once the slaves enter the pass, the people in the villages and towns around Longjing Pass will be displaced.
With the temperament of the Jian slaves, they would massacre and plunder wantonly. Even if they evacuated and the houses could be rebuilt, people would still die if they died! "
"Your Majesty, I think this is not possible. If it is the slave-building alliance in the battle of Guihua City, there should be about 60,000 soldiers left.
If we add a few more, it would be about 60,000 to 80,000. The garrison of Santun camp is absolutely unstoppable.
Even if there were only 60,000 troops, they were all cavalry. According to past experience, the Ming Dynasty would have to mobilize at least 300,000 troops to besiege.
Outside Liaodong Town there were Jiannu, and outside Xuanfu and Datong Town there were Chahar Lindan Khan and other Mongolian tribes.
Taiyuan, Guyuan Town and other northwest border towns are too far away. By the time they mobilize their troops, Jiannu may have already laid siege to Beijing. This is too risky.
Moreover, I am even more worried that Jiannu will not retreat entirely, but will occupy Zunhua, Yongping, Qian'an, Luanzhou and other cities as a stronghold for Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty.
With these strongholds, they can enter and leave whenever they want in the future.
What's even more terrible is that these cities are located on the land supply line from Beijing to Shanhaiguan.
They can rob it at any time, and if the frontline supplies are robbed, then the Guanning defense line will be in danger. "
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yuan Ge's analysis is reasonable. Even if you want to implement the siege plan, Zunhua is only more than a hundred miles away from Da'ankou, Xifengkou, etc.
By the time we mobilize our troops, they will have been able to withdraw long ago. Your Majesty, please think twice! "
After listening to the analysis of the three people, Chongzhen was filled with emotion, especially for Yuan Keli's analysis, which he admired greatly.
In the Jisi Incident in history, although the Jiannu retreated, they still occupied some cities and defended them, such as Zunhua, Yongping, Qian'an, and Luanzhou.
Chongzhen re-employed Sun Chengzong and led soldiers from various places to attack the Jiannu sergeants guarding the city. Amin, who was in charge of guarding, could not stop him and had to abandon the defense.
Amin abandoned these cities. Huang Tai was very angry and summoned the Baylors to discuss Amin's crime.
In addition to abandoning the four cities this time, the charges include having different aspirations and seeking independence in North Korea.
Although Amin was not killed this time, he was completely imprisoned and most of his property was confiscated.
"My dear friends, since the slave-building coalition forces dare to come, it means that they must achieve some purpose, such as plundering, attacking the city, or even besieging the city of Beijing.
Therefore, it is impossible to give up easily. What if I have the troops to quickly blockade Da'ankou and Longjing Pass? "
The three of them looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. They really didn't know where to mobilize their troops.
Sun Chengzong said in confusion: "Your Majesty, I forgive you for being so presumptuous. The closest place to Da'ankou is Santunying (Jizhen), but directly opposite is Jiannu, and you can't get around it at all.
Secondly, there are only about 400 miles away from Da'ankou in Shanhaiguan, but a large number of troops went there, and the marching speed was slow. In five or six days, Jiannu had already withdrawn.
The number of people is small. If you go there, you will only die.
Xuanfu is more than 600 miles away, so it won’t work. There are soldiers in Beijing, but they are about the same as Shanhaiguan, and there is no time at all, so..."
"Sun Aiqing answered correctly. I really mobilized troops from Beijing."
Without waiting for the three people to refute, Chongzhen walked to the map, picked up the ink pen and circled two locations on the map.
The three of them looked at the circle drawn by Chongzhen with doubts in their eyes. In their impression, there were no garrison troops in these two places, but there were guard posts.
But with the level of corruption in these guard posts, it is hard to say whether they can gather 50,000 people, let alone stop the enemy.
"A few months ago, I ordered Teng Xiang's left guard and eight thousand white pole soldiers to be broken into pieces and hidden in these two caves."
The emperor's next words left the three of them completely confused.
After being confused, he looked at the emperor with a puzzled look on his face. How could Teng Xiang's left guard and eight thousand white pole soldiers hide there a few months ago?
They can understand that Tengxiang Zuowei is the emperor's personal soldier and they have no right to interfere.
But the Baigan soldiers were under the command of the Fifth Army Commander's Office, and there was no proposal from the Ministry of War or the Cabinet for the transfer. Even if the emperor could transfer them, it would be known to the whole court. But now that they have been transferred for several months, they don't even know.
Why would the emperor be transferred out in pieces a few months ago?
Could it be that a few months ago, the emperor knew that Jiannu would attack in a detour?
