Chapter 95 Don't care about black cats and white cats, just catch the mice!
Since the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, some strange behaviors of Yuan Chonghuan, consciously amplified by Emperor Chongzhen, also made Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua gradually realize that something was wrong.
In particular, Emperor Taiji, the leader of the Jianlu slaves, sent Ya Le under his command, posing as a so-called envoy team. Under Qian Longxi's unauthorized decision, he went to Sanhe where the imperial commander was and sent a letter saying that Yuan Chonghuan and
The Eight Banners secretly cooperated.
According to common sense, this time the Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor set up a special military aircraft office to oversee the Ming Dynasty's fight against the Jianlu. Yuan Chonghuan, as the governor of Liaodong and the chief official of the Ming Dynasty, should obey unconditionally.
But what did Yuan Chonghuan do again?
Wang Qia and Li Banghua, who had read the letter, were increasingly suspicious of Yuan Chonghuan, especially after they arrived at the front line of Zunhua City with Emperor Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, you should not have come to the front line in person."
Lu Xiangsheng looked serious. He cupped his hands to Emperor Chongzhen, who was holding a cup of tea and taking a sip. "Of course, before this, our Ming Dynasty won two great victories and recovered the Da'ankou pass, but the Jianlu were powerful and..."
"Okay Lu Qing, I know what you mean."
Emperor Chongzhen put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his sword eyebrows, looked at the people in the tent, and said loudly: "This is a battle that our Ming Dynasty must win!
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, do I have to hide in the rear and watch you, good ministers and generals, and my good sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty fight with the rebels on the front line, while I just shrink my head?
In order to plan the encirclement of Jianlu, I stayed in Sanhe and Jizhou and asked you to fight with Jianlu on the front line.
But now that we are in this situation, everything that needs to be planned has been planned. If I still stay in Jizhou and do not move forward, it will be unreasonable."
When Emperor Chongzhen said these words, he called Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Zushou, Fang Zhenghua, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhu Chunchen, etc., all with different expressions.
In fact, everyone present knew clearly that the emperor led his imperial guards, led military planes to the front, and stationed in Zunhua. This was purely due to Yuan Chonghuan's obedience.
Especially the group of distinguished relatives headed by Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo had scolded Yuan Chonghuan countless times and wanted to chop him with a knife.
What a shame, you are so dishonest in staying in Qian'an and presiding over defense matters on the eastern front, yet you insist on resisting the edict issued by the Military Aircraft Department.
It's all right now. All of you who have been harmed should follow the emperor and rush to the frontline battlefield.
It's just that in the current war situation, Yuan Chonghuan cannot move yet. Once he does, or is captured, it will definitely cause a series of changes, leading to a complete collapse of the defense on the eastern front, and thus threatening the stability of Shanhaiguan.
If Shanhaiguan ordered Jianlu to be defeated, the joke would be really big. Not to mention that the territory before Liao Dynasty was not secure, and even the Ming Dynasty would be in crisis.
"Why are they all looking so sad?"
Emperor Chongzhen pretended to be puzzled and looked at the crowd and said: "Currently, the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies led by Lu Qing, Sun Qing, and Zhongyong have dug wide ditches on three sides of Zunhua, and they are still widening them.
.
And the Ming Dynasty's Central Army is located five miles away from Zunhua. Are you worried about a sneak attack by the rebels from Zunhua? Or are you worried about a sneak attack by the rebels from the Santun Camp?"
In the general situation of the Ming Dynasty, we must grasp this main contradiction and get rid of that short-sighted guy. We must find the right opportunity to continuously magnify this person's shortcomings and even make people around him hate him.
In this way, you don't have to take action yourself, someone else will jump out and mess with them.
Make friends with a lot of friends and enemies with a few. Concentrate your energy first to eliminate those stubborn imperial rebels who are doing great harm and use political means to eradicate them one by one, so that they can have a relative say in the future.
Just repeat this method.
Kill a group, defeat a group, pull a group, and seize the initiative in the struggle. This is what Emperor Chongzhen wants to do. This time when the captives invaded the Ming Dynasty, they first used Yuan Chonghuan to practice their skills.
Sun Zushou stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted Emperor Chongzhen, and said: "Your Majesty, we are worried that the Jianlu who invaded Qian'an will rush back desperately to help after learning about the situation in Zunhua.
If the main force of the invaders in the pass is concentrated on Zunhua, then..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he interrupted what Sun Zushou was saying and said: "So our first priority right now is not to gather our troops to attack Zunhua City where Jianlu is guarding it in vain.
Instead, we must take advantage of the advantages we have to dig many wide ditches around the outer lines of Zunhua City. We must make sure that the cavalry team under Jianlu's command cannot jump over them one after another even if they are galloping into the formation.
The front line guarded by our army.
It doesn’t matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
Since there are Mongolian soldiers accompanying the Jianlu invaders this time, and our Ming Dynasty does not have an overwhelming advantage in cavalry at the moment, then we will use this stupid method, adopt a non-stop rotation method, dig more wide ditches, and also
There are many horse pits dug around the perimeter of the front. When I arrive, I want to see how the soldiers can break in in such a way."
"..."
Many of Lu Xiangsheng, Wang Qia, and Li Banghua nodded slightly in approval. Although they were under Yuan Chonghuan's command, they were ambushed by Jianlu's partial division, which caused a great threat to the defense on the eastern front and forced the original good situation to be weakened.
.
However, in the previous battles, the Ming Dynasty still had certain advantages. In the past two days, the Tianxiong Army and the Zhongyong Army dug two wide trenches around the north, west, and east sides of Zunhua City, and some locations were covered with trenches.
It was opened, and stones and sacks filled with soil were piled up to block the gap.
In order to enhance the efficiency of digging wide ditches on the frontline battlefield, Emperor Chongzhen also specially called the military aircraft to forward the command and issued an explicit edict to the three temporary defense positions of the front, middle and rear guards.
He ordered the generals stationed in the city to collect various agricultural tools, register them, and then return them to the farmers after the war, so that the frontline soldiers could all have them.
Since the Ming Dynasty is not the opponent of the Jianlu in a head-on confrontation, then I will fucking kill you. You have traveled a long distance and fought in a different place. At present, the Ming Dynasty has closed its city gates in various places to do its duty to defend the land. There is no way to plunder.
The route of food depends on who can't hold on first.
If your main force of building captives does not return reinforcements for one day, I, the main force of Ming Dynasty, will not attack the city for one day and then devise a conspiracy to besiege the city and mobilize reinforcements. Let’s see what you, Huang Taiji, will do.
