The second son is full of shame, and Imagawa Ryojun is like a hedgehog.
Shimazu Motohisa was lucky and became the first high-level prisoner captured during the Ming Dynasty's entry into Korea.
After cleaning the battlefield and counting the results, it was already dawn.
Zhang Fu received the good news from Sheng Yong, and Yang Wen, Mao Zheng, Hua Ju and others were envious.
Damn it, the heads of 15,000 Japanese soldiers are considered a military achievement of the Ming Dynasty, but more than half of them were not beheaded by Sheng Yong. It is really enviable for him to take advantage of this.
The internal struggles between Imagawa Ryotoshi, Shao Er Mansada, Shimazu Motohisa and others caused this team to be destroyed very simply.
Like cutting tofu with a knife.
Zhang Fu and others knew that if Imagawa Ryojun's troops united, Shengyong's troops could still destroy them, but in order to avoid damage, a large number of firearms would inevitably be used.
The internal fighting among the Japanese was covered up, and with a stroke of his pen, Zhang Fu wrote a victory document: "The Japanese army was defeated in the first battle, and more than 15,000 heads were killed." He passed it to the Ming Dynasty sergeants and reported it to Jinling.
Zhang Fu is well aware of the impact of morale on the army's combat effectiveness. No matter how these Japanese soldiers died, the details only need to be told to Emperor Jianwen. There is no need to tell the sergeants other details. They only need to know that the Japanese soldiers can be killed, and Li Fangyuan was almost wiped out. The Japanese army is not that difficult to deal with.
With the belief of victory and high morale, the army began to seize the time to cross the river.
As for the captured Shimazu Motohisa, Zhang Fu kept him alive for interrogation of the Japanese army's movements and intelligence.
After the first battle, Sheng Yong ordered his soldiers to move to Turtle City.
Zhuang, who captured Turtle City yesterday, was very disappointed. He originally thought that the Japanese troops would retreat outside Turtle City and attack from inside and outside, so that he could get more military glory. Who would have thought that this group of people was so unsatisfactory that they were directly defeated by Sheng Yong. Dumplings, no one came over, and I had to wait all night.
Soon after Sheng Yong entered Turtle City, he received some intelligence and military orders from Zhang Fu: stationed in Qinchuan and Dingzhou, waiting for the opportunity, and sent troops to Anzhou.
Sheng Jian, Chu Zhi, Zhuang De, Lu Li and others entered the temporary command area. Sheng Yong spread out the map and stared in the direction of Anzhou: "I'm afraid there will be an unprecedented battle here."
Chu Zhi looked at it with a serious look on his face.
Anju's geographical location is very important. It is located on the south bank of the Qingchuan River and is currently the gathering place for the main force of the Japanese army.
According to Shimazu Motohisa, the three Japanese armies of the Hatakeyama clan, the Akamatsu clan, and the Hosokawa clan gathered in Anju, with a total of nearly 60,000 people. Behind Anju, in Pyongyang, the Saba clan and the Kyogoku clan were stationed. , Renmu clan and other 70,000 troops.
It can be said that once the Battle of Anzhou begins, it will be a large-scale battle!
If Shiba and others send troops to assist Anju, the scale of this battle may reach hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops alone!
"General Zhang asked us to wait for the opportunity. It is obvious that they want us to buy time to contain the Japanese army on the Qingchuan River, and then launch a huge decisive battle here."
Supervisor Sheng said seriously.
Zhuang De knew that Anzhou's geographical location was very important. It was like a key channel, connecting the north and the south. If the bridge in Anzhou was lost, the Japanese army would have no choice but to build a bridge and row boats into the north bank.
"We should immediately send an army to the vicinity of Anju to completely destroy the bridge there and cut off the Japanese army's way to the north. Then send troops to eliminate the Japanese army that has reached the north bank and confront the Japanese army across the river."
Zhuang De put forward his own opinion.
After hearing this, Chu Zhi immediately objected: "The bridge cannot be blown up, it must be preserved."
"Why?"
Zhuang De was a little dissatisfied.
Chu Zhihan smiled and said: "The bridge is destroyed, how can the Japanese army come to the north bank?"
Zhuang De was depressed: "The purpose of destroying the bridge is to prevent them from coming to the north bank."
Chu Zhi shook his head: "Our purpose is to lead them to the north bank, not to let them stay on the south bank. If they stay on the south bank, even if we use firearms to damage them, we will never be able to completely annihilate them. With the Qingchuan River blocking them, It is not something that a large army can do in a short period of time if they want to cross the river to pursue them. In that case, the enemy will flee south. If they merge with the Spo clan,
It's fine here, but it wouldn't be a good thing for us if it were scattered to other places. "
Supervisor Sheng agreed with Chu Zhi's view and waved his hand to Zhuang De, who still wanted to speak: "If the decisive battle is to be fought in Anzhou, the Japanese army should be allowed to mobilize more forces into the north bank. Only in this way can they be annihilated in Qing Dynasty to the greatest extent. North of the Chuanjiang River. Now we need to seize Qinchuan and Dingzhou first, and then look for opportunities to show weakness and feign defeat to attract Japanese troops to cross the river."
Sheng Yong stared at the map, and when he raised his head, he had made a decision: "Chu Zhi captured Qinchuan, and Zhuang De captured Dingzhou. There are not many Japanese troops here. You each lead two thousand people, and then lead the people in the city to the Yalu River." , vacate these two cities, and then obey the order and regroup. This battle is not ours, Zhang Fu will definitely lead his troops to follow."
Supervisor Sheng's eyes were blazing: "Main force vs. main force?"
As Sheng Yong expected, Zhang Fu was indeed planning a large-scale battle, but Sheng Yong underestimated the spatial scope of the battle. There was not only one bridge on the Qingchuan River, although it was a bit far away.
Zhang Fu's eyes never focused on one city or one pool, but on the entire Korean war situation.
When Zhang Fu dispatched troops and generals, the tranquility of Peiping was finally broken.
Six fast horses rushed into the city of Beiping. Yao Guangxiao, Chen Gui, and Zhang Sigong received the order and hurried to the Chief Envoy's Office. Ping An, Zhang Xin and others also arrived. Zhu Di drove the horses to the Chief Envoy's Office and hurried into the room. .
"King Yan, the Chief Envoy of Peking, the Chief of Peking, the Chief of Construction of Peking, etc. will receive the order."
Wang Gen, a doctor in the Ministry of War, took out the imperial edict, looked at the people kneeling down, and read out: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says: There are Tatars, Uliangha, and Oara in the north who conspire to go south and endanger our Ming Dynasty. We specially issue an edict to conquer them!" King Zhu Di of Yan is the general of the expedition to the north... Ping'an is the deputy general of the left side of the expedition to the north, and Xu Huizu is the deputy general of the right side of the expedition to the north..."
"On the day of the imperial edict, the general and the deputy general on the left will be in charge of the military affairs in Peiping. The Peking army will listen to the instructions and order 50,000 elite troops in Peking to be deployed to prepare for the expedition at any time. The deputy general on the right will lead the 100,000 Beijing army and will go out soon... …I hope that you all will work together to slaughter the enemy invaders, clear the grassland, and establish the overall situation of peace for a hundred years in the Ming Dynasty. I admire this!”
"I will receive the order."
Zhu Di, Ping An and others stood up.
After Wang Gen handed over the imperial edict to Zhu Di and Ping An, he took out two more documents from his arms and handed them over: "The emperor has written down many strategic arrangements and relevant information in detail, and I also ask the general, deputy general Zuo and others to understand them carefully. .”
Zhu Di took it and solemnly agreed: "Don't worry, the emperor didn't send me to Peking for Wu Liangha."
Ping An, Yao Guangxiao and others nodded repeatedly.
Everyone in the court speculated that Zhu Di was "transferred" to Peiping. In fact, this was not the case. As early as the beginning of Wu Liangha's change, Zhu Yunwen was already planning to solve the Tatar issue.
Although Wu Liangha was a threat, there was no need to use a figure like Zhu Di. Zhu Di was placed in Peiping. It was obviously for the Tatars who had violated the border several times and refused to change despite repeated admonitions.
war!
Zhu Di's heart was full of fire, and he felt as if his blood was burning. He glanced at Yao Guangxiao, Zhang Bing and others: "From today on, I, the general, will be living in the Peking military camp. I will rely on you for logistics matters."
Zhang Bing solemnly promised: "General, please rest assured that there will be no shortage of military resources."
Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di with a smile: "If it weren't for his old age and the bumpy ground, he would definitely ride on the battlefield with the general. This time the general went on an expedition, the old monk could only leave a message: General Wanwang will completely wipe out the main Tatar force, leaving only one descendant for future generations. Taiping Mountains and Rivers.”
Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao, who was getting older and older. He had stayed in Peiping to supervise the construction of the new capital these years. He had integrated his life into this new capital. All the things he had once had become clouds, and the white hat was no longer there. was mentioned.
He found a path without regrets, and his talents and abilities were demonstrated in this city.
Your own road will be a battlefield!
Use the heads of Benya Shili and Arutai to prove that I, Zhu Di, am the undisputed number one general of this era!
Zhu Di turned sideways to Ping An and others and said majestically: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!"
Ping An solemnly agreed: "Accept the general's order."
The military camp in Peking began to gather troops.
Zhu Di looked at the documents sent by Zhu Yunwen and discussed the military situation with Ping An, Xu Kai, Chen Wen, Xu Yingxu and others.
After Ping An and others saw it, their expressions became quite solemn.
Xu Kai looked at the map and gritted his teeth and said, "It is rare for Uliangha, Tatar, and Wala to move together. Since the emperor has entrusted the Tatar route to us, let's consider how to completely eliminate Benya Shili and Alu. Come on, the general should mobilize troops to deal with it as soon as possible."
Ping An glanced at Zhu Di, who was motionless, and said seriously: "It's too early to talk about sending troops now. Our purpose in this battle is not to defeat the Tatars, but to completely eliminate the Tatars' effective forces! Now the main force of the Beijing army has not yet sent out, and the Tatars We don’t have a clear idea of Tao’s movements, so dividing our troops at this time will make us passive.”
Zhu Di took a deep look at Ping An and said with a smile: "Ping An is right. What we have to do at this time is to wait, wait for the position of the main Tatar force to be exposed, and wait for the Beijing army to arrive in Peiping. The current situation seems chaotic. But as the courtiers and the emperor said, after the clouds are cleared, the only enemies worth paying attention to are the Oara and the Tatars."
"As long as we destroy the main Tatar force, the entire situation will be stable. What needs to be done now is to collect intelligence. Send an order to the city defense front lines in Beizhili and Shanxi, especially the first-line checkpoints of the Great Wall, to keep an eye on Tatar movements. Order people to send out scouts Reconnaissance intelligence. Only when we get accurate intelligence can we use the army. If you are missing and leave the border directly, it will only be in vain."
Xu Kai, Ping An and others claimed that they were right.
Early next morning.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty was a great teaching place.
The 150,000 Beijing troops lined up neatly, each square formation was majestic, and the eyes under the armor were firm and fanatical.
Zhu Yunwen sat upright on his horse and slowly passed by the military formation, inspecting the army that had been tempered for eleven years. A loud voice rang out: "The sun and moon will shine forever, the Ming Dynasty is mighty!"
