The eighty-fourth chapter of the Ming Dynasty (1)
Wang Qia and Li Banghua were a little frightened. What Emperor Chongzhen said was obviously to cut off the key points controlled by the Jianlu and force the Jianlu to occupy Zunhua. The strategic advantage of the Santun camp would be reduced to the minimum.
If the D'ankou Pass can be recaptured, there will be one less channel for the Jianlu to exit the pass. This will definitely be a big blow to the Jianlu who invade the pass.
However, regardless of the Qian'an aspect, we still have to face the threat of the rebels from Zunhua and other places. We asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead a large army to directly attack the Da'ankou pass. What if we get into a stalemate? What if we attract reinforcements from the rebels?
"Your Majesty, should this matter be discussed again?"
Li Banghua stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Although the army led by Lu Xiangsheng does have some advantages in attacking the Da'ankou area, if there are captives..."
"Li Qing, there is no need to discuss this matter further!"
Emperor Chongzhen interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Since the Jianluo army broke through several important passes and invaded the Ming Pass, except for the battle of Shimen Town and the Yongwei Camp showing the majesty of our Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty has never adopted an aggressive attitude.
This is not good.
However, considering the previous situation and the deployment of various armies, I will not say much else. But now around Zunhua and Santunying, I, the Ming Dynasty, have completed the corresponding control.
Now I think it's time to show my sword to the invading Jianlu!
Lu Xiangsheng and the others had to consider how to attack the important pass of Da'ankou, which had been stolen by the Jianlu.
As for the military aircraft stationed here, what they have to do is to formulate corresponding combat plans around the chain reactions that may occur once the Battle of Da'ankou really starts.
For example, if we know that after this battle, whether the rebels in Zunhua and Santun Camp will dispatch their troops, or sneak attack on Shimen Town, or go straight to attack the elite troops at Da'ankou, in order to solve the crisis, etc.
It must be considered in place and a complete set of plans must be formed.”
Previously, when the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, the situation was turbulent. In order to stabilize the situation, Emperor Chongzhen secured a group of people and made corresponding plans and arrangements.
Now around Zunhua, there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the three camps and two camps, stationed in various cities and on various lines. If you can't defeat the Jianlu in this way, let's go somewhere cool and stay there as soon as possible.
Don’t engage in guerrilla attacks in the future.
"I still say the same thing, don't be afraid of breaking those pots and jars!" Emperor Chongzhen said loudly with his hands on his hips, looking at Wang Qia and Li Banghua who were a little moved.
"If it's broken, we can just rebuild it when the time comes. But if the Jianlu were allowed to ravage the entire Gyeonggi Province, the damage to our Ming Dynasty would be beyond imagination!"
"I accept the decree!"
Wang Qia and Li Banghua were firm in their thoughts and bowed their hands to Emperor Chongzhen. Then they went to the office and began to issue various edicts in the name of the former commander of the Military Aircraft Department.
Looking at the busy people, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, shouted softly, and turned to look at the map behind him. Even if the Jianlu were successfully driven back in this battle, the Ming Dynasty would also suffer in Shuntian and Yongping.
Not a small loss.
'After this battle is over, we must take advantage of the power of this battle to replace all lines of defense under Beizhili, as well as various garrison posts, etc.'
'Jimiyong Sanxie Defense, important areas such as Shunyi, Changping, Xuanfu Town and other places must undergo a major change.'
'If we want to eliminate some forces in the DPRK and achieve political balance, there must not be any more loopholes in the defense around Shenjing!'
Those sharp eyes looked back and forth at the map in front of him. Emperor Chongzhen's hands were hanging down and he clenched them subconsciously. If the Ming Dynasty was in such a state of ruin now, if he wanted to make changes, the first thing he had to do was to seize military power!
Political power emerges from the barrel of a gun. This is an eternal truth no matter in any period.
Only by making changes around this core can we overcome all obstacles and bring the Ming Dynasty's collapsed financial system back on track a little bit.
"Chen Yansheng, with this edict, you have to rush 800 miles to Shimen Town and order Lu Xiangsheng's troops to act in accordance with His Majesty's decree."
"Here!"
Under Wang Qia's arrangement, Chen Yansheng, who was the military counselor at the time, immediately left the main hall with the decree in hand, dispatched a team of Beijing Guards cavalry, and rushed towards Shimen Town.
Since Jianlu conquered important passes such as Da'ankou and Longjing Pass, and successively conquered Zunhua and Santun Camp, the Ming Dynasty, which had been dormant for a long time, finally showed its offensive potential.
"Da da da……"
The chaotic sound of horse hooves resounded in the open wilderness. Chen Yansheng and his party were galloping all the way. It can be said that they were extremely excited. Finally, they were about to launch a counterattack against Jianlu.
The eight-hundred-mile expedited process represented the importance of issuing this edict. Chen Yansheng, who was in charge of this matter, did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
From Jizhou, he rushed to Shimen Town. It took more than an hour and after going through many rounds of interrogations, Chen Yansheng, who was covered in sweat, finally met Lu Xiangsheng.
Since he was ordered to lead his troops to Shimen Town, with the assistance of the Yongwei Battalion led by Zhou Yuji, the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies led by Lu Xiangsheng, with Shimen Town as the core, dug more than ten extremely deep tunnels in the periphery.
This is to prevent the invasion of the Jianlu cavalry.
Even though Emperor Chongzhen had been wandering around in Shenjing, Sanhe, and Jizhou, staying at the rear to take charge, he had not personally arrived at the front line to command the Ming soldiers to fight against the invading Jianlu.
But the figure of Emperor Chongzhen is everywhere!
Out of his own understanding and relying on the advantage of foresight, Emperor Chongzhen could only choose to trust them in coordinating and coordinating various plans and deployments. As for what a certain army should do, Emperor Chongzhen could only choose to trust them.
When it comes to those skills in fighting, he, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is definitely not as powerful as Zhou Yuji, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou, etc., and he may not even be able to compare with Yuan Chonghuan.
But on how to resist Jianlu's offensive and how to make corresponding arrangements, he, the Emperor of Heaven, was much ahead of Zhou Yuji and the others.
Mass-produced thunderbolts, bagged granular gunpowder to reduce the loss of muskets, bagged lead bullets, tunnel defense lines, etc., are all adding to the combat power of the Ming Dynasty's army.
"Send the order and order all the generals to assemble and come to the commander's tent to discuss military affairs!!" After reading the edict issued in front of the Military Aircraft Department, Lu Xiangsheng looked serious and shouted in a deep voice.
"Here!"
Knowing his emperor's plan, Lu Xiangsheng began to think about the matters that must be paid attention to in attacking Da'ankou, and how many troops should be sent to attack Da'ankou.
After waiting for such a long time, it was finally time to launch a counterattack against the invading Jianlu. This was an extremely exciting thing for Lu Xiangsheng. However, if the emperor entrusted such a heavy responsibility to himself, then he must lead his elite troops.
