Author: There are dragons in Nanshan

Zhu Qizhen stared at the map with a very ugly face.

Yang Jun directly gave up Badaling Chengguan and chose to station troops in Juyongguan, which obviously made sufficient preparations.

If the army wants to attack, it must be in a forty-mile-long Guangou. The terrain here is narrow and the formation cannot be expanded. Even if there are thousands of troops, it will be futile.

The Beihai Guards only had rifles and light cannons, while the Tatar tribe and Mobei Guards were mainly swords and bows. It was almost impossible to attack Juyongguan forcing them.

Moreover, the defenders of Juyong Pass had heavy firearms, and rushing directly to it was almost equivalent to dying.

Just as hesitating, Yuan Bin came to report, and Tuotuobuhua came to ask for a meeting.

Zhu Qizhen agreed, still staring at the map, thinking about a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Tuotuobuhua is a rough man, so he said straight to the point: "Master, why haven't you attacked?"

Obviously, he can't wait.

Only by helping the emperor take back the capital can he attack the Oirat and seize the place of survival.

Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, running over with less than 2,000 people alone would be equivalent to dying.

He didn't want to stay in the bitter and cold place in the extreme north for a moment, and it was not a place for people to stay!

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and signaled him to come forward.

Tuotuobuhua walked closer and said, "Master, why..."

"You should know the terrain here!"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said, "Yang Jun gave up Badaling and defended Juyongguan to the death. This means that we can only attack from Guangou. With the danger of Juyongguan and the firearms in their hands, this battle cannot be fought at all!"

Tutuobuhua has been studying the map of the Ming Dynasty all year round, especially the northern border towns, so he naturally knows the terrain of Juyongguan.

However, he had no choice because his tribe members were still starving and frozen in the snow.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take the lead!"

Kill now, even if you die, you have to give it a try.

Although the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been fighting for a hundred years, he believed that the Ming emperor in front of him would not be untrustworthy.

Zhu Qizhen looked at him and asked, "You are going to die!"

Tuotuobuhua laughed and said, "If you die, you will die. Please agree to me, those tribe members..."

"Okay, you can't die now!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Juyongguan is a difficult bone to crack. You cannot attack forcefully, you can only take advantage of your wits!"

Tuotuobuhua breathed heavily and said, "These gangs of southern barbarians..."

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and his face turned pale.

Tuotuobuhua realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his words: "No, Your Majesty, don't think too much, I... I don't mean to be disrespectful to the emperor. I am talking about those officials who are officials who take the emperor's salary and still have to plunder the people's wealth and ointment. The family's money can't be spent in several lifetimes. I'm not satisfied, and I actually want to control the government and openly rebel. Damn... it's really not a thing!"

"Of course I know that they are not things. When I return to the capital, I will kill them all!"

Zhu Qizhen felt angry and secretly swore that this time, there would never be another word for kindness.

What kind of benevolence and righteousness are all he can get out of here!

He finally understood why Emperor Taizu loved killing so much, and he killed tens of thousands of people at one time.

Because if you don't kill them, they will kill you.

In the so-called four major cases of Hongwu, none of them died unjustly.

Tuotuobuhua still didn't dare to say something. He thought that the Mongols went south to hunt Caogu, burn, kill, loot, and had a lot of evil deeds. However, the money they plundered was nothing compared to the officials of the Ming Dynasty court.

These people don’t need a knife to kill, it’s too cruel!

Zhu Qizhen didn't live around Juyong Pass to find a suitable offensive point.

When Tuotuobuhua saw Liaodong, his eyes lit up and he said, "I will take someone to Shanhaiguan and attack the emperor in front and back!"

"Shanhaiguan is more dangerous than Juyongguan, and it doesn't even need heavy troops to guard it. You are not enough to see a little bit of people."

"Or... the emperor will give me some more people?"

Zhu Qizhen gave him a blank look and said dissatisfiedly: "I have only a few people in my hands. Where can I steal them for you?"

Tuotuobuhua smiled awkwardly, then thought about it, and said, "Is there any Duoyan Sanwei and Mohe Wei there, you can all be transferred here."

"I have sent out the elite of Mohe Guards. As for the three Duoyan Guards, I have sent them a decree to serve the king. However, their troops are still in the extreme north. I don't know how long it will take to wait. There will be no reinforcements within at least ten days and half a month."

"What about... what about the soldiers and horses in Liaodong?"

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "It has been replaced by those bastards. The people I sent to deliver the letter can't even send them to the city gate!"

Tuotuobuhua was helpless. These people were prepared so well that they had thought of what they could think of.

But the dignified Emperor of Ming Dynasty was "dead" like this?

Now people are in front of you, but the guardian of the city turns a blind eye and insists that the emperor is gone, and there is really nothing we can do!

"Have it!"

Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen pointed to a map and said, "You take people to detour Xifengkou. There are not many defenders here. Follow the Luanhe Ancient Road all the way south to reach the capital!"

Tuotuobuhua stared at the map and studied it for a while, and asked, "From the picture, they are all small paths in the mountains, and I am carrying cavalry..."

Zhu Qizhen nodded with certainty and said, "The Luan River floods every year, and the people around him have moved away. Taking advantage of the freezing surface of the river, you can pass through the surface."

Tuotuobuhua agreed, "Since that's the case, I'll set off now!"

"Wait a moment!"

Zhu Qizhen took out the prepared edict and said, "This is my own edict. If you hold it on your body, you can show it when you meet officers and soldiers along the way. If someone says it is fake, it must be a rebel, and there is no mercy to kill him!"

"I obey the order!"

Tuotuobuhua put away the edict, turned around and left, rectifying the troops and horses and storming towards Xifengkou.

Seeing this, Aturu couldn't sit still and asked his brother-in-law Usak to meet the saint.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "What's wrong with you?"

When we were drinking together, Aturu was able to let go. Now that the two have become king-subject relationships, things have become a bit subtle.

Especially when I saw the emperor worried, it seemed that the situation was not good.

"Your Majesty, are you here to ask, when will you attack?"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I haven't thought of a good plan to defeat the enemy yet."

Aturu asked again: "I just saw the Tatar tribe heading north, but I don't know..."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Juyongguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so I ordered the Tatars troops to find another offensive route."

Aturu thought for a while and said, "I ask the emperor to send a route to Mobeiwei!"

Zhu Qizhen was just thinking about this, so he carefully searched on the map, and finally...

"You take my edict and detour to Wei County!"

Aturu didn't know where Wei County was, so he looked at the map and said, "I'll set off now."

Wei County was once the first pilot of the new policy. Local officials were selected from the grassroots level, and some even did not even have fame.

Most of the rebels in the court formed gangs and factions, and most of them were gentry families, and perhaps had a smaller influence on Wei County.
