Let’s take a detailed look at the wars that broke out between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianlu. Why were they frequently defeated miserably and even large areas of territory were lost?

In addition to official corruption caused by party strife, which in turn induces serious corruption; military decision-making power and military power are all in the hands of civilian officials.

Also, I care too much about some jars and jars.

Afraid of making mistakes, afraid of defeat, and afraid of losing their hat. This mentality of worrying about gains and losses causes many people to hesitate and hesitate even if they see a fighting chance.

Even though some generals went to war, the civilian officials who had the power to make military decisions and military decisions did not send troops to help. As a result, what should have been a great victory often turned into a disastrous defeat...

Emperor Chongzhen was riding on his horse, looking at the heavily guarded streets, frowning slightly. Hou Shilu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, who was following behind him, felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Hou Shilu never thought that today, in such a critical situation, instead of staying in Shenjing, which is heavily guarded by troops and has a high city wall and thick walls, he would make the decision to personally conquer the city.

"Hou Qing, the people's post team organized under the rule of Sanhe Zhongwei are not fooling around, right?" Emperor Chongzhen tilted his head slightly and looked at Hou Shilu and said.

When Hou Shilu heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the order from the Military Aircraft Department, our civilian post teams on the front line of Sanhe Central Guard have been organized, and according to the order from the Military Aircraft Department, they have been registered separately."

"Um."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "After I arrived, Hou Qing sent someone to send all these documents to the military aircraft office.

The transportation of grain, grass, ordnance, etc. by the civilian post team is related to the foundation of our Ming Dynasty's war against the Jianlu, and there must be no mistakes."

"Here!"

Hou Shilu immediately answered with cupped fists.

The soldiers and horses went ahead without using food and fodder. Although the Ming Dynasty's battle against the Jianlu was regarded as a local battle, considering the current situation, Emperor Chongzhen still felt that he would place his hope in the temporary civilian post team and use military law to deter the transferred corvees.

The transportation of grain, grass, ordnance, etc. is far more reliable than that of local governments.

Silently all the way, under the guidance of Hou Shilu, Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage arrived at the Zhongwei Defense Office, which was now being requisitioned by Emperor Chongzhen because of the imperial commander's personal expedition.

"Hou Qing, have you chosen a new location for your Zhongwei Defense Office?" After arriving at the main hall, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Hou Shilu who was accompanying him and asked.

"A new location has been selected."

Hou Shilu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "In accordance with your Majesty's order, the troops and horses stationed in our Sanhe city are building camps in the east and west of Sanhe City."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Hou Qing."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Then Hou Qing, please go and do your work first. Although I have stationed in Sanhe, the defense arrangements for the Sanhe Central Guard are still in charge of Hou Qing. There is no need to ask me for instructions unless necessary."

"Here!"

In the important place of Sanhe, when two teams appear at the same time, the most taboo thing is that one team is heavier and the other team is lighter, which will cause a certain amount of chaos.

The military aircraft that came with them pointed out that they were the team in charge of this battle against Jianlu, and they were at a strategic level.

The temporary Sanhe Zhongwei Defense Office is the team that oversees the first-line defense of Sanhe Zhongwei at the tactical level.

In the current situation, what Emperor Chongzhen needs is stable order, and whoever should be in charge of things should be in charge.

After seeing Hou Shilu leave, Wang Qia stepped forward, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this time you are personally conducting the expedition and leading the military planes to station in Sanhe. Do you want to send manpower to inform Jizhou about this?"

"It still needs to be circulated."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said calmly: "Wang Qing, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, you have issued a clear edict to Jizhou, saying that I, the Military Aircraft Department, and the various departments of the Beijing and Wei Dynasty that accompanied them to the battle, are Sun Qing's

Back shield.

This time Yongwei Battalion won a great victory in Shimen Town, I hope Sun Qing will not be impatient, and calmly deploy the battle situation on the front line, and strive to win this battle with the rebels!"

"I accept the decree!"

What Emperor Chongzhen is most worried about right now is that against the backdrop of the Jianlu invasion, the soldiers and horses stationed in the prefectures and counties under the rule of Gyeonggi may be influenced by Yuan Chonghuan and make rash advances.

Using such a method to show that he was in Sanhe also strengthened Sun Chengzong's confidence in a sense.

What Ming Dynasty needs most now is stability!

Although they are opponents, one thing is undeniable. The Jianlu army is indeed strong. Even though its size is much smaller than that of the Ming army, on the battlefield, the number of soldiers and horses is never an absolute criterion.

Now that the military aircraft are forward, the only strong force that can be mobilized directly is the Yongwei Battalion. However, it will take several days for the Tianxiong Army and the Zhongyong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou to reach Sanhe.

Even if they really arrived, the Tianxiong Army and the Zhongyong Army, equipped with corresponding weapons, armor, and firearms, were after all temporarily mobilized and formed.

It is impossible to say that it showed extremely strong combat power like the army of prisoners led by Huang Taiji.

"Your Majesty, the victory achieved by the Yongwei Camp in Shimen Town this time is indeed inspiring for our Ming Dynasty." Li Banghua stepped forward and cupped his hands to Emperor Chongzhen.

"However, if the main force of Jianlu knew this, they would definitely attack Zunhua City with anger and use Jianlu's power. I am afraid that Zunhua will not be able to resist Jianlu's offensive.

Our military aircraft is pointing this way, are we going to send an express order to the Jizhou side and the Qian'an side, asking them to detach some cavalry to attack the invading Jianlu, so as to relieve the pressure on the Zunhua side?"

"No!!"

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Now we don't know what the situation is in Qian'an, and whether Yuan Chonghuan has led his troops to help the pass.

Issuing this edict rashly at this time will inevitably trigger a series of reactions if the frontline misunderstands.

Sun Qing is here in Jizhou. If it is not necessary, the military aircraft will be directed this way, and orders cannot be issued casually.

Don't be afraid that your altars and jars will be smashed. As long as you can defeat the invading invaders, those broken jars and jars can be rebuilt.

However, the Military Aircraft Department pointed this way and wanted to send people to Qian'an, and issued an express edict to inquire about the specific situation there and whether Yuan Chonghuan's troops had already stationed in Qian'an."

"I obey the decree!"

Li Banghua immediately responded with his hands raised, but at the same time he felt sad in his heart. It was in his heart that the emperor had given up on Zunhua and had three camps in two places.

It's just that you can understand it in your heart, but you can never say it out loud.

Looking at Li Banghua leaving, Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing there, seemed to have guessed what Li Banghua was thinking. He couldn't help but sigh, "If you don't give up on Zunhua, what about the three camps and two places?"

The situation on the front line is not clear now. The east and west defense lines constructed, except for the defense led by Sun Chengzong, are clear. The defense headed by Qian'an has not yet sent anyone to report the situation.
