It was only two or three days ago that Zhu Youjian proposed to open up the Yanshan and Liaoxi mountainous areas outside the border wall for the first time. Logically speaking, such a big matter should wait until he returns to Beijing to discuss it with the cabinet before finalizing it.

Bar?

But Zhu Youjian insisted on leaving the cabinet and doing it on his own. He didn't even wait for Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops, but he had already finalized the plan to break out of the wall and develop.

In this finalized plan, Ming Dynasty will set up 90 thousand-household (sanitary) stations in the mountains of Yanshan and Liaoxi outside the wall... This does not include the two thousand-households in Wuliangha and Duoyan.

The Mongolian Qianhu that Orduo belongs to.

These 90 thousand-household stations will be under the jurisdiction of Liaoxi and Yanshan towns. Among them, Liaoxi Town has 30 thousand-household stations, and a large number of Liao troops will be stationed (at least half of them need to settle accounts). Zu Dashou will serve as the chief military officer.

He Kegang is the deputy.

Yanshan Town has 60 thousand-household (guard) stations under its jurisdiction. Zhao Lijiao serves as the chief military officer, and Sun Zushou serves as his deputy. Fifteen thousand recruited soldiers will also be stationed there.

In addition, the former East Road Association of Shanhaiguan Town and Ji Town will be merged to form the new Ji Town. The former commander-in-chief of Liao Town, Ma Dengyun, will serve as the commander-in-chief, and will be deputy to Wang Wei's son Wang Shiqin. The former commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Town, Zhu Mei,

He was transferred to Changzhen to replace Zhang Weixian, who resigned because Tianshou Mountain was burned down, as the commander-in-chief.

In the towns of Ji and Liao (western Liaoning), Zhu Youjian established a new Ji Liao Governor's Office, with Yuan Chonghuan as the governor - of course, his governor could not supervise Mao Wenlong, but could only supervise Mao Wenlong.

Divisions in Liaoxi and Shanhaiguan.

The former Governor of Ji Liao, Wang Zhichen, was dismissed by Zhu Youjian because of the breach of the Ji Town Great Wall and sent home to retire - he was actually tricked by Yuan Chonghuan, but Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of Liaodong, and there was no such thing in his defense area.

There was a little problem, and he also led troops into the pass and won the battle. It's impossible to take the blame, right?

The Middle Road Xie and West Road Xie in Ji Town merged and established Miyun Town. Miyun's general army was assigned to Hou Shilu, who led his troops into the Wei from Xuan Mansion.

In the two towns of Yanshan and Miyun, there was also a Yanyun Governor's Office, with Gao Hongtu serving as Governor of Yanyun. Gao Hongtu's Shuntian Governor was succeeded by Hong Chengchou.

In addition, due to Hou Shilu's transfer to Miyun, the post of Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief was vacant. Zhu Youjian asked Hei Yunlong, who was born in Xuanfu, to take over. At the same time, he asked Cao Wenzhao to take over Hei Yunlong's position and serve as the commander-in-chief of the Zhangqian Army.

The post of Cao Wenzhao's regimental counselor was taken over by Ji Zhuji, who was originally from the Yingyou (Yu Ma Jian No. 3 Battalion).

The governor of Xuanfu was also replaced by Yang Sichang, who had "contributed to the fight against slavery".

If this dazzling personnel transfer was left in normal times, I don’t know how long it would take for the court to discuss it? But now is an extraordinary period. The emperor is out in person, and he has won a great victory! Therefore, when it comes to personnel transfers involving military affairs, of course, he can monopolize the power

, the cabinet could only cooperate obediently and draw up the decree, and the efficiency was surprisingly high. By the fifth day of October, which was the third day after the first battle of Tang Zhishan, the formal edict (voting draft) was completed.

It was distributed to the civil and military officials who had their positions adjusted.

After some adjustments, Zhu Youjian's "actual control territory" has expanded a lot. Following Datong Town, Xuanfu Town and Miyun Town were also completely controlled by Zhu Youjian. The most important Shuntian Mansion was partially controlled.

into the hands of Zhu Youjian's cronies... As for Yanshan Town, of course it will also be Zhu Youjian's "actual control territory". The reason why it is "will be" is because on the fifth day of October, Zhu Youjian

Youjian's army is still facing off against Huang Taiji's army at Tangzhishan.

Although Huang Taiji's defeat in this entrance battle was certain, he did not lose much after all, and he still had a lot of wheat cut from the farmland in his mouth or looted from the broken manor, which could still support him.

A lot of time.

But Zhu Youjian was not prepared to stay with Huang Taiji at the foot of Tangzhi Mountain for a long time.

Because Zhu Youjian, who is the best in the world in military skills, knows that what the enemy wants to do is usually detrimental to his own side... Since Huang Taiji wants to confront each other at Tangzhi Mountain, then the confrontation must be detrimental to the Ming army.

"Your Majesty," Hei Yunlong, who had just been promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Xuan Mansion but had not yet taken office, now played the role of Zhu Youjian's "senior counselor" and made suggestions at the military meeting on the fifth day of October, "Now our army has gathered together.

, there are already 100,000 people, and they can completely attack Tangzhishan!"

After winning many battles in succession, Hei Yunlong became more energetic.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "A strong attack will cause too many casualties and is not worthwhile. Although our army is numerous, it does not have many elites. If the losses are too great, morale will inevitably be low and it will be difficult to fight again."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yuan Chonghuan said, "Our army has sufficient food supplies and is far superior to the slave thieves. As long as it takes a long time and exhausts the slave thieves' food and grass, victory will be easy."

Haha, now you know that military rations can also be used as weapons? Zhu Youjian smiled inwardly, but shook his head, "There is no way to delay it. It is already October... If we delay it any longer, it will be freezing.

!I want to march to Rehe before the heavy snow closes the mountains and roads, and spend the winter in Rehe."

The Rehe he was talking about was the Zhenwu Water near the Chengde Mountain Resort in later generations. Because the hot springs in the Chengde Mountain Resort flowed into the Zhenwu Water, the Zhenwu Water did not freeze in winter, so it was called "Rehe" by the locals.

In addition to this "Re River" that can provide warm water in winter, there are many fertile valleys around the Chengde Summer Resort in later generations, which can be cultivated for farming, and most of them are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you can spend some time and invest some money

, it will definitely be able to operate.

After Rehe was managed, the Ming Dynasty had a large stronghold deep in Yanshan Mountain.

About 300 miles northwest of Rehe, there is another important place, the highland grassland called Saihanba, which is part of the Bashang grassland and is extremely fertile. Since the Liao and Jin Dynasties, it has been the royal hunting ground of the emperors of the two dynasties.

.Zhu Youjian has asked Princess Ulyanha to gather as many Mongolians as possible in the Yanshan Mountains into Duoyan Wanhu Orduo, and then use Saihanba as a base.

In this way, with Saihanba in the north and Rehe in the south, the Ming Dynasty's situation in Yanshan Town was somewhat stable.

Now that Saihanba is under control, all that is left is Rehe!

"Long live my lord," Yanyun Governor Gao Hongtu was a little confused, "If we want to enter Rehe before the weather gets cold, if we don't attack fiercely now, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "I plan to withdraw our troops and retreat from the enemy!"

"Can you retreat the enemy by withdrawing your troops?" Gao Hongtu didn't quite understand.

"Yes!" Zhu Youjian said, "The man on Tangzhi Mountain has an evil heart! He must be afraid that we will cross the border wall and go around behind him."

Now that most of the openings in the Jizhen Great Wall are still in the hands of the Ming army, it will not be difficult for Zhu Youjian to get out of the Great Wall, and many generals have made such suggestions.

"Your Majesty," Hong Chengchou suggested, "why don't we actually go out of the Great Wall in a section?"

"The Great Wall must be built," Zhu Youjian said, "but there is no need to take detours behind enemy lines. Detours must be made with light troops. Going deep alone is not the opponent of white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers... We should scare Huang Taiji."

Enough!"

He was unwilling to do this because he knew that the Hou Jin Army had a great advantage in mountain warfare. In the Battle of Sarhu, the Hou Jin Army relied on its excellent combat power to make a roundabout attack in the mountains.

Defeat each one?

Zhu Youjian said: "We can do this... first retreat, then lurk, and then use the cavalry in front of the tent to cover Huang Taiji. It will be difficult for Huang Taiji to know the truth. He will definitely move eastward for a few days at most. Then we will make a big move.

After leaving the fortress, west of Mameng Mountain, the world is ours."

...

"Father Khan, Father Khan, the southern troops are retreating!"

The sound of almost cheering came from outside the big tent, waking up Huang Taiji who had just fallen asleep. Huang Taiji was in a daze and did not hear clearly. It was also because the Ming army was about to attack, so he got up from the bed in fright.

Carrying the knife, he was about to leave the tent, but he bumped into a young man who came in from outside.

That young man was Hauge. He said to Huang Taiji urgently and quickly: "Father, the Southern Army has retreated... and is evacuating in large numbers. Should we go after it?"

"No!" Huang Taiji squinted his eyes, "Nan Di is cheating again... If we chase him, we will definitely get beaten!"

"Then what should we do?" Haug said, "The Southern Army's retreat is probably to get out of Gubeikou or some other exit..."
Chapter completed!
