Li Biao and Qian Longxi looked at each other. This time it was an accident.
They did not expect that Jiannu would really go south at this time. Because in the past year, Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan fought in a lose-lose manner. Although Lin Danhan had basically lost his offensive ability, Jiannu still had to repair for a year before he could return.
war.
Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji was so courageous that he would mobilize directly.
However, the castle on the front line of the Liaohe River cannot be repaired in a year. And for the part near the north, in the second half of the year, Jiannu will retreat from Chahar before he dares to start construction. Otherwise, it is close to the battlefield, and who dares to build the fortress. Jiannu is divided into
They will come over and bulldoze you in a matter of minutes.
Isn't it the original Daling River City? Several attempts were made to build a city in the north of Jinzhou, but it just couldn't be built. It was always attacked by the slaves.
However, at this time, we cannot retreat. Because this is Donglin's strategy that he has risked everything to promote. We are only halfway through it now, so we must not retreat. Now, except for Shaanxi because of the suppression of the civil uprising and Shanxi, there is no need to retreat.
, several other towns have begun large-scale layoffs.
After all this tossing, all the elite soldiers who had eliminated the weak and retained the strong fell into Dong Lin's hands. Several general soldiers on the front line were able to take command of the troops only through Dong Lin's connections. Ma Dengyun even personally ran the money for the department.
Jin, working as a lackey for Li Banghua, got the military power of Chifeng Commander-in-Chief.
In addition, Ningcheng and Yuanbaoshan each have two general soldiers, each commanding 50,000 troops. Ningcheng's general soldier is Tan Shide, and Yuanbaoshan's general soldier is Hei Yunlong. Tan Shide is transferred from Ningxia Town, and Heiyunlong is
Transferred from Xuanfu Town.
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the sand table. He never spoke, but his face was very gloomy. From the beginning, he was reluctant to go forward and set up a defense line, because he was afraid that if Jian Nu came, he would not be able to defend it. But Dong Lin
I don’t know what their intentions are, but they insist on setting up defenses along the upper reaches of the Liao River.
He said that he wanted to strictly guard against it and not give Jian Nu any chance to get involved in Monan. He drove Yang Fan to Guihua City in the west.
Originally, it was considered that after the war between Jiannu and Chahar, it would take a year to repair it. In two years, the castle was built. Unfortunately, God is not as good as God. Jiannu did not even have a year before he sent out troops.
Li Banghua, the Minister of War, held a bamboo pole, pointed at Pinghu Fort and said: "The enemies seem to be many, but in fact there are only 50,000 or 60,000 slaves. The rest are more than 40,000 Han army flags and about 100,000 rabble-rousers from various Mongolian tribes.
.Our armies in Yuanbaoshan and Chifeng are all elite, and they are still capable of fighting."
"My suggestion is to hold fast at Pinghu Fort and Chifeng to wear down the Jiannu. When the Jiannu are tired, then dispatch the two armies of Yuanbaoshan and Ningcheng. I have a hundred thousand fresh troops to attack the tired army. I will definitely defeat the enemy and win."
On his left stood Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Rites, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Hubu, Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Punishments, Zhang Fengxiang, the Minister of Works, Nan Juyi of Zongcangchang, and Cao Yubian, the Yushi of Zuodu of the Supervisory Yuan.
On his right stood the elders of the cabinet. After being supplemented, the cabinet is now full again. The first assistant is Li Biao, the second assistant is Qian Longxi, and the elders are: Han Xu, the Taibao, Cheng Jiming, the bachelor of Dongge, and Zhou Yan, the bachelor of Dongge.
Confucianism, Dongge University Scholar, He Ruchong, the Minister of Rites, Qian Xiangkun, Dongge University Scholar.
Because Wen Tiren was plotted by Li Biao and others, he lost the qualification to join the cabinet this time. That is to say, the former Wen Donglin tried to use prisoners instead of reinforcements in order to trick Yang Fan in Jiuyuan City. Xiao Niangpi asked Lin Yueru to reveal the inside story of this matter to
Wen Tiren, create a big problem for Donglin.
Sun Chengzong had also joined the cabinet as the cabinet minister at this time. However, he was an old man from Donglin and had a transcendent status. He stood on the left hand side of Chongzhen, preparing for consultation. He was the emperor's master, with the title of prince and grand master, and was the bachelor of Zhongji Palace.
The governor of Jingying Rongzheng is in charge of military training in Jingying, and also supervises the affairs of soldiers, horses, money and food.
Sun Chengzong originally worked in Tongzhou. Today's meeting is very important, so he came to the meeting.
On the emperor's right is the British Duke Zhang Ji, Dingxi Marquis Jiang Bingzhong. Next to him is a young man in military uniform, who is Chongzhen's cousin Liu Wenbing. Liu Wenbing is only fourteen years old this year. However, Chongzhen has already begun to train him.
Chongzhen's biological mother was Empress Xiaochun Liu. The Liu family had a younger brother, Xinlehou Liu Xiaozu. Liu Wenbing was Liu Xiaozu's son, which was Chongzhen's cousin. He was five years younger than Chongzhen. Liu Wenbing was cautious and kind, and did not make friends casually. He only made friends with Wan.
He made good friends with Shen Zhanran, a student of Pingtai, Huang Nilu, a commoner, and Gong Yonggu, the prince-in-law.
Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and asked: "Master Sun, you are a man who is experienced in military affairs. Do you think Chifeng City should be defended or withdrawn?"
Sun Chengzong hesitated for a long time and could not answer.
Li Biao and the others decided on the strategy of building forts along the river without consulting him. He had been away from the court for a long time and had passed away. His right to speak within Donglin was far less than that of Li Biao and Qian Longxi. They just planned
Listen to his opinion. Although they are all from the Donglin lineage, his prestige is very important. Li Biao and Qian Longxi were worried that Chongzhen would use him as their chief assistant.
There is obviously a problem with this arrangement. That is the dispersion of troops.
The reason for this arrangement was to silence the emperor and ministers so that they could appropriate half of Yang Fan's victory and cut Rehe out of Monan Mongolia. According to military considerations, it should actually be in Yanshan
It is more advantageous to build strong fortresses at various mountain passes and take advantage of the favorable terrain.
With this arrangement, if the enemy is strong, he will defend according to the danger. If the enemy is exhausted until the soldiers are tired, the army will move out to counterattack. In this way, the initiative can be in the hands of Ming Dynasty.
However, this abandoned the eastern grassland and opened up the entire Monan Mongolia. The slave-building society took the opportunity to snatch Monan over. If you don't want to cause problems in Haraqin's hometown, the best way is to hand over Monan to Yang Fan.
Defense is the best option.
But Monan was handed over to Yang Fan. What to do with the smuggling of the eight major merchant groups of Shanxi merchants? Donglin could no longer hope to benefit from the dividends of Liaodong and Jiannu trade. Only by controlling the places bordering Jiannu could they protect smuggling.
Although Sun Chengzong became an official during the Tianqi Dynasty and had been away from the court for a long time, he still knew the tricks here.
"There is a saying in the art of war, which is to strengthen the small enemy and capture the big enemy. This is the current situation in Chifeng." Sun Chengzong still decided not to endorse Li Biao and Qian Longxi.
This matter is no small matter. If something goes wrong, I will not be held responsible.
Li Biao and Qian Longxi glanced at Sun Chengzong in surprise. Unexpectedly, Master Sun actually put forward a different opinion.
Chongzhen mentally agreed with Sun Chengzong's statement that if 30,000 people defended a city and it was besieged by 250,000 people, it would definitely not be able to defend it. Moreover, Chifeng City was not completed at all, and many places were not covered with bricks. The wells and houses inside were
The gunpowder reserves are insufficient.
Li Biao became anxious when he saw that the emperor planned to retreat from the castles along the Laoha River.
