Chapter 473: Capturing a team of Jinyiwei!

"Bang!"

In the dark night, a harsh gunshot suddenly came.

The originally quiet night was broken by gunfire. All sentries subconsciously raised their vigilance. Even the cicadas on the trees were shocked by the sudden gunfire and had to pause for a moment. Then there were dense footsteps, which should be the combat duty troops dispatched.

Zhang Zhun subconsciously looked at the south where the gunfire came. It was obviously the sentry who fired the gun. I don’t know where the sentry found what. Could it be that an enemy tried to launch a sneak attack from the south? The possibility seems unlikely!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, another gunshot came.

Zhang Zhun frowned slightly.

Someone actually tried to break through from the south? Could it be that the people of the Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of Scent of

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind, but the soldiers of the sniper team were acting. They obviously strengthened the defense of the commanding heights around Yunfengju. There was a lesson from Zhang Zhun being plotted last time, and Dugu Lie and others did not dare to be careless. Especially at night, they should be cautious.

Not long afterwards, even Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan came out. It turned out that neither Zhang Shenyan nor Gao Hongtu were used to such battlefield nights. After all, they were civil servants and had never brought soldiers to fight before. The gunshots just now woke up the two of them. Moreover, there were thousands of Tartars less than a hundred miles east of Huang County. Their psychological pressure was quite great. Even though they lay down, they couldn't sleep. When they heard the gunshots, they couldn't help but get up to see what happened.

"Yulin, where did you fire the musket?" Zhang Shenyan asked with concern.

"It should be the lurking sentry!" Zhang Zhun replied calmly.

"Is it the Tartars trying to launch a sneak attack?" Zhang Shenyan asked with some concern.

"I don't know for the time being. It may be just a Tartar's horse exploration." Zhang Zhun said in contemplation.

He waved his hand, called Shi Liwei over, and ordered, "Go and ask if the front line has caught the Tartars's horse probing horse. If so, send it here."

Shi Liwei agreed to go.

Gao Hongtu looked at the sky, then the east side, and said with some concern: "Yulin, will the Tartars in Dengzhou City launch an attack tomorrow?"

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "If it were Dorgon, it would not be possible. But it is hard to say that Dodo. After suffering such a big loss, Dorgon would definitely find the reason and plan before acting. Before finding a way to deal with us, he would endure it vigorously. Dodo was young and energetic, prone to impulsiveness, and might rush towards us regardless of everything. If the enemy launches an attack tomorrow, we don't need to worry. If the enemy does not attack for a long time, we should be more careful."

Gao Hongtu said: "Why?"

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "If the Tartars launch an attack tomorrow, it means that the Tartars have been destroyed by anger. Everyone knows that people who have lost their minds are easier to deal with. A day is not enough for the Tartars to reflect on why they failed. They will still just like during the day, just like during the day, and continue to touch their heads and make them bleeding. The enemy who just works hard is the best to deal with."

"If the Tartars are slow to launch an attack, it means that the Tartars are trying to find a way to deal with us. Once the attack is launched, many unexpected scenes may occur. The Tartars' combat power is already very strong, and if they still know how to use strategies, they will be even stronger. Therefore, the brave but not the spouse is not scary at all. For example, Duoduo, such as Mangutai, such as Yuetuo, such as Haoge. What is terrible is the spouse who is brave and wise. For example, Huang Taiji, such as Dorgon."

Zhang Shenyan said in surprise: "Yulin, where did your understanding of slave chiefs come from? Do you know so many slave chiefs? "

No wonder he was so surprised. Although Zhang Zhun's analysis was simple, he caught the key points. Ordinary Ming officials only knew that the Tartars were cruel, that they only knew that the Tartars were fighting, that they were not afraid of death, that they only knew the terribleness of slave chiefs. However, they did not know much about the specific slave chiefs. Even Zhang Shenyan himself was not very clear about the personality traits of slave chiefs, let alone analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.

The main reason for this situation is the lack of the intelligence system of the Ming Dynasty. There were two intelligence agencies in the Ming Dynasty. One was the East Factory and the other was the Jinyiwei. However, both the Dong Factory and the Jinyiwei were keen on fighting for power and profit in the country, keen on plundering money, and keen on persecuting civil officials and officials. They never paid much attention to intelligence work. They were even more afraid of the spy on the enemy situation in Liaodong.

Neither the Dongchang nor the Jinyiwei nor the Jinyiwei had permanent intelligence agencies in Liaodong. Unless it was very necessary, people would be dispatched to Liaodong to spy on intelligence. These people usually set out from the capital, dressed up as merchants, and sneaked into Liaodong. Over time, the Tatars also noticed it and sent people to intercept it. At the same time, they constantly identified the Han people around Shenyang. With their own incompetence and the strong suppression of the Tatars, the Ming Dynasty's intelligence system in Liaodong almost did not exist. It is naturally even more difficult to understand the intelligence of the top Tartars.

Only the Liaodong army can spy on some valuable information. However, the main thing that is to inquire about the two armies is the military force of the battle between the two armies, the most basic information such as the vanguard and commander of the Tartars. There is not much information about Shenyang, the base camp of the Tartars. In other words, what the Ming Dynasty knew was tactical intelligence, but strategic intelligence, but it was ignorant. The most obvious example is that the two invasions of the Tartars were discovered by the Ming Dynasty when the Tartars fought to the edge of the Great Wall.

In fact, every time the Tatars invaded, they had to prepare in Shenyang. These preparations would take at least three months or even longer. Because every time they invaded, the Eight Banners of Manchuria had to fight in concert with the Eight Banners of Mongolia, so it would take a lot of time to communicate. If the spies from the Ming Kingdom were effective, these information could be easily obtained. Even if they could not obtain them from the Tartars, they could also obtain them from the Mongols.

After making preparations, the Taurus cavalry set out from Shenyang, gathered the Mongolian Eight Banners on the grassland, circled the Korqin Grassland, and headed towards the Great Wall. Due to the long journey, even if the Taurus marched very quickly, it would take more than half a month to reach the bottom of the Great Wall. If the Ming army could sense the movements of the Taurus in this half month, they could deploy tight defenses around the Great Wall and give the Taurus a headache.

Unfortunately, the Ming army only realized that the Tartars had arrived after the Tartars broke through the Great Wall. During the half month of the Tartars' march, the Ming Dynasty could not get any information. It must be said that this is definitely an unbearable sadness. It is not that the Tartars are too strong, but that the Ming Dynasty itself is too weak!

Of course, Zhang Zhun could not say that he was a time traveler and had innate advantages. He casually said: "This is what I summarized based on various information."

Zhang Shenyan obviously didn't believe it very much. Judging from the region and personnel that Zhang Zhun had come into contact with, it was impossible for anyone to be so clear about the situation of the Tartars. Therefore, he must have had other sources of information. But since Zhang Zhun said that, he had to think so, nodded and said, "Yu Lin is indeed intent."

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

In fact, after a period of contact, Zhang Zhun discovered that neither Gao Hongtu nor Zhang Shenyan knew very well about military affairs. Most people in the Ming Dynasty only knew the name of the slave chief and had little research on the character, hobbies and characteristics of the slave chief. The Ministry of War did not establish a systematic file, nor did they have a dedicated person to figure out the habits and hobbies of the Tartars, and then judge the possibility of the slave chief's actions based on the character characteristics of the slave chief.

The reason is very simple. They are all civil servants. Their professional field is to rule the country, not marching and fighting. They do not have the professional knowledge of marching and fighting. They are used to using the civil servants' set to measure military affairs. Civil servants pay attention to the doctrine of the mean, pay attention to you and I, everyone, but they don't know that this is absolutely fatal for military affairs. When fighting in a military war, what they need is to find the fatalities of the other party and then launch a fatal blow. Civil servants are not good at doing such work at all.

Zhang Shenyan valued himself so much because he could fight. What the Ming Dynasty lacked was people who could fight. Well, to be precise, the senior management lacked people with long-term strategic vision. When dealing with the strategic issues of Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty was really full of mistakes and omissions. The most effective way to deal with the Liaodong Tartars was actually to kill people with a knife. Borrow the Mongols and the Koreans. How many Tartars were there? There were only hundreds of thousands! At the beginning, there were no more than 100,000 men who could fight!

If the Mongols, Koreans, and the Ming Dynasty army rushed forward, how could the Tartars have the ability to resist? Even if they did not need Mongolians or Koreans to directly join the battle, as long as they seriously implement the strategy of buying the Tartars' heads, they could greatly weaken the Tartars' strength. The Tartars' population is its fatal injury. As long as the Ming Dynasty sees this point and keeps applying hard medicine, the Tartars will not be able to support it.

At the beginning, someone proposed that thirty taels of silver to buy an adult Jianlu head, and the Mongols were very active. They handed over hundreds or even thousands of Jianlu heads every year. Because the Mongols hunted Jianlu heads in large quantities, the relationship between Jianlu and the Mongols was very bad. The two often fought wars, and the hatred became deeper and deeper.

Unfortunately, when Yuan Chonghuan was not happy with the Mongols, he abolished this regulation. At this moment, the Mongols stopped doing it. Since you don’t want the Jianlu leader, what are we going to do when we fight with Jianlu? Just then Nurhaci gradually realized that he could not make too many enemies, and he still had to actively win over the Mongols around him. So he actively established good relations with the Mongols and continued to marry. As a result, the Mongols began to turn to Jianlu. Later, they formed the Eight Banners of the Mongolians. Some Mongolians became loyal thugs of Jianlu since then.

However, even at this time, the Ming Dynasty still had the opportunity to save the situation. Only a part of the Mongols defected to Jianlu. A considerable number of Mongols were unwilling to defect to Jianlu. As long as the remaining Mongolians were held back, the rise of Jianlu could still be effectively curbed. Unfortunately, the Ming court did not realize this.

Especially when it comes to the issue of Lin Dankhan in Mongolia, none of the Ming Dynasty realized the value of Lin Dankhan. In fact, Lin Dankhan was always loyal to the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming army could help him, he could block the Tartars' infiltration into the grasslands. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty people looked down on the Mongols and even used the help of Jianlu's hands to eliminate Lin Dankhan. In the end, Lin Dankhan had to retreat to Guihua City (now Hohhot) and finally died of illness there.

If history has not changed, at the beginning of this year, Dorgon would lead his army to attack the remaining troops of Lin Dankhan. After some straits, Dorgon successfully surrendered to the entire Mongolian tribe. However, a small branch occurred here. The one who went to fight against Lin Dankhan was not Dorgon, but Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge. Dorgon led his army to surrender Dongjiang Town, and led his army to Dengzhou City and set foot on the land in the inland of Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the current Great Jin Kingdom is actually fighting on two fronts. Haoge's expedition to conquer Lin Dankhan's remaining troops on the grassland was as powerful as it was, and it would not take long to submit to all Mongolian tribes. Dorgon's inducement to surrender to Dongjiang Town was also smooth sailing. For the Great Jin Kingdom, everything was so beautiful. However, with Zhang Zhun's time travel, it is hard to say whether the Great Jin Kingdom is still so beautiful.

"Sir, if you catch a small team of Jinyiwei and a small team of official troops on the front line, you will be sent here soon." A moment later, Shi Liwei came back and reported to Zhang Zhun.

"Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

When the three of them heard the name of the Jinyiwei, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Around Huang County, the people from the Jinyiwei were captured. What happened? It was not surprising to capture the scattered official troops. Information has been continuously showing that when Ruan Dacheng surrendered, some of the official troops who were unwilling to surrender ran out of Dengzhou City. However, the situation at that time was very complicated. Not all the officers and soldiers who were unwilling to surrender were able to escape successfully.
