In the partial hall of the Qianqing Palace, there is a wide map on the wall, and a huge sand table is placed on the ground.

Of course, it is obviously a bit inappropriate to say that the meeting is a little inappropriate, and it is more appropriate to say that the military intelligence briefing.

It's just that what should be said becomes what is heard, and what should be listened to becomes what is spoken.

In the middle of the side hall, Emperor Chongzhen held a stick, pointed to the sand table and said to the military bosses around him:

"Zhuqing, according to the intelligence of the factory guard, I judged that the Tartars would pass through the capital from the north, and divide the troops from Zhuozhou into eight routes, one along the mountain, the other along the canal, in the middle of the mountains and rivers, and advance in columns."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words fell, the sound of cold air sounded in the hall.

Because if the situation is true, the Tartars will go thousands of miles inland, and the Ming court will suffer a major blow and suffer heavy losses.

In their hearts, from the moment Huang Taiji strategized and Dolgon and Yue Tuo commanded the Qing army to break through, they were doomed to the fate of defeat for the Ming court and the Ming army. The Ming court was unaware of the Qing army's entry into the fortress, unprepared, and inappropriate decision-making.

It is estimated that the Ming court still thinks that this time is the same as Azig in 1636, wandering around Beijing for a few days and leaving, no one would have thought that the Qing army would go deep inland for thousands of miles, burning and looting in Hebei and Shandong, "Jinan City alone, the dead bodies reached 130,000 bodies, and the whole city was burned and looted." From Qingdu, Xinle, Zhending, Luancheng, Baixiang, Neiqiu, to Shunde, a journey of thousands of miles, a look at the wattle stick, the four suburbs of rubble", the entire Jinan County, the nineteenth of the people.

The Ming court did not know anything about the situation of the Qing army.

First, I don't know the strength of the Qing army. There is no record of the strength of the Qing army in historical materials, but from the analysis point of view, Manchurian, Mongolian Eight Banners, Han Army Banners and Mongolian departments are involved, according to the usual saying, before entering the customs Manchuria Niu Lu 308, Mongolian Niu Lu 76, a Niu Lu standard Ding 300 people, taking into account the dissatisfaction, all calculated according to 200, a total of 76800, and then refer to the fourth Abatai into the Sai "rate of Manchuria, Mongolia, Han people 24 solid mountains each solid mountain Zhen official army half, half of the Mongolian soldiers to conquer the Ming State" with half of the force calculation, 38,400, plus the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Mongolian departments of the Outer Domain, there are at least 50,000 people, excluding the artillery team, all cavalry. Second, I don't know the movements of the Qing army. The history of the Ming Dynasty recorded: "The Qing army went south, and the division was sent out in three ways: one was attacked by Laishui, one was attacked by Xincheng, and the other was attacked by Dingxing." "Chongzhen Record" recorded that "in November of the eleventh year, the Qing soldiers from Liangxiang, Gaoyang, state by state to the river, broke into the plug, divided into four roads, one to Cangba, one to Jinan, one to Linqing, one to Zhangde Weihui." The Manchu Qing Dynasty's "Donghualu" recorded: "The left wing Rui Prince Dolgon: the ministers destroyed the Ming border pass, the two wings of soldiers and horses, rendezvous in the west of the Tongzhou River, from the north through Yanjing, from Zhuozhou to divide the army into eight roads, one along the mountain, one along the canal, in the middle of the mountains and rivers, the column advances." The movement of the Qing army to the south should be based on the historical materials of the Qing army, and the records of the Ming history and the "Chongzhen Record" should be the judgment of the Ming court, and it is obvious that the judgment is biased. In fact, the Qing army divided its troops into eight routes to the south, giving the Ming army an excellent fighter, which will be analyzed later.

The emperor doesn't understand soldiers, he abandons martial arts, and the military department doesn't understand either?

The most incredible thing is not the paralysis of the intelligence system, but the Ming court's ignorance of the Qing army's entry into the fortress. Why? Of course, some people will say that the defense line of the Great Wall for thousands of miles cannot be prevented, yes, it cannot be prevented, since it cannot be prevented, then it cannot be prevented.

The Tartars would not carry food on their backs to fight, so they would evacuate the people and defend the city in the Gyeonggi area, so that the Tartars would have to pay a heavy price every time they attacked a county town.

At the same time, a mobile combat corps will be reserved in depth to attack again when it is sleepy and lacking in personnel.

If there is a more advanced military vision, then we should use the sea to control the land, land in the rear of the Qing army from the sea, and constantly implement the tactics of containment and harassment, so that the Qing army can also supplement the defense everywhere and contain his few troops everywhere.

This is not only reflected in spy warfare, but also in the battlefield.

The Ming army completely relied on Mongolia for where the Tartars would run and where they would fight next.

2. The failure of intelligence led to a serious error in the judgment of the Ming court on the situation of the Qing army

Judging from the goals achieved by the Qing army after the attack, the Qing army's strategic purpose of entering the fortress this time was threefold: first, to grab money and people, and to go back to farming (a total of more than 460,000 people were captured). The second is to conduct strategic reconnaissance and destroy the hinterland of the Central Plains by the way. The third is to consume the strength of the Ming army and resolutely eliminate the military forces that dare to confront the Qing army. In 1636, before Azig entered the fortress, Huang Taiji summoned Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Su Haoge, Prince Cheng Yue Zuo and the commander of the expedition, King Azig of Yingjun and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and told the use of troops: "If the city can be taken, if it cannot be taken, it will not be taken, the people and animals plundered shall not be contested, and the division shall be divided evenly, and the division should be carried out quickly and not slowly.

Decisive in battle, I am not as good as Qing and so on. Staying in the army will only get in the way, let the Qing be tied, ask for instructions everywhere, and delay the fighter!

Pointing to the summary of the prisoners on the imperial case, he said, "I said that Qing and others are conservative,"

From the moment when Huang Taiji strategized and Dolgon and Yue Tuo commanded the Qing army to break through, it was doomed to the fate of the defeat of the Ming court and the Ming army. The Ming court was unaware of the Qing army's entry into the fortress, unprepared, and inappropriate decision-making.
