Chapter 274: Entering the Prison in a Big Way
After reorganizing the 300,000 iron cavalry that had been assembled, the Warat Taishi also held a pre-war mobilization meeting with the Great Khan of Warat.
At the meeting, he also gave orders to the generals who were full of tents, and divided the 300,000 Warat iron cavalry into four roads to prepare to attack the Ming in the south.
Although the Great Khan of Warat was very dissatisfied with Yexian's style, and the supporters of Tokhtar Buhua were also a little annoyed, in the face of the humiliation of the killing of more than 2,000 people and the huge benefits brought by the southward attack on Ming, everyone, including the Great Khan of Warat, chose to remain silent.
At this time, Yexian's impassioned voice continued to echo in the big tent, and everyone listened attentively, discussing the details of the southward battle with Yexian from time to time.
For everyone, defeating Daming is the most important thing at this time, and the power struggle within Warat is no longer the most critical contradiction!
According to the battle plan made first, and after the arguments and mutual compromises of everyone, the 300,000 Warat Iron Cavalry Army was finally divided into four routes, and at the same time went south to attack all parts of the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty.
Among the plans also specified earlier:
The 100,000 iron cavalry of the Khan and the Uliangha led by Totokh Buhua attacked all parts of Liaodong and was responsible for containing the forces of the right wing of the Ming Dynasty;
The army of Wara West Road was led by Yexian's general to flank Ganzhou (Zhangye, Gansu) with 30,000 iron cavalry, and was used as a suspicious soldier;
The middle of the Warat army was the focus of this attack, and at the same time it was divided into two ways to attack:
One route was led by the Alazhiyuan to lead 50,000 iron cavalry to attack Xuanfu and besiege Chicheng, responsible for containing the main army of the Ming Dynasty in Xuanfu Town;
The other way is to lead 120,000 iron cavalry to attack Datong Mansion by the Wara Taishi first, this road is also the top priority of this battle, and also prepare to break through Datong Mansion under the condition that all sides of the Ming army can not support each other, and march east through Datong, Jingcheng Pass or Yanmen Pass, and approach the land of Jinggi in the Ming Dynasty!
After the battle plan was formulated, the 300,000 Wara Iron Cavalry army began to mobilize, and the troops were divided into four routes to gallop in the north of the nine sides, Shanxi Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Liaodong Town, and other nine border places were all shocked three times a day, and for a while, the smoke of the Ming Dynasty was everywhere, and the generals stationed in various places were also panicked.
The army of Tartars, which has been pressing on everyone's hearts for more than a year, has finally begun to act, and a bloody storm is coming!
The beacon fire in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty from Shanxi all the way to the east, until Liaodong is the beacon smoke billowing out, the surrounding area of Beijing is also full of beacon smoke, the land of Jinggi has begun martial law, and the Ming troops stationed in various places have also mobilized, ready to mobilize at any time.
However, compared with the efficient mobilization of the Ming official army, the speed of action of the ministers of the DPRK and China is many times slower!
In the face of the large-scale invasion of the 300,000 Wara Iron Cavalry, the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK have already quarreled with the sky, and the orthodox emperor is also very troubled by this.
At this time, the ministers of the DPRK and China were basically divided into three factions:
First of all, the Zhuhe faction, which was all civil officials, especially those who were imperial historians, advocated that the imperial court severely punish the eunuch Wang Zhen and try to counteract the anger of the Warat people.
"The sword soldier is an ominous thing, the gentleman has to do it, now the south has just ended a peaceful war, the dynasty should no longer fight, should try its best to resolve the war, this is the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
Listening to the clamor of these civil officials, not only did Wang Zhen, the eunuch who wrote the pen, immediately scold these imperial historians above the court, but even the upright and capable ministers such as Yu Qian, the squire of the military department, were also frowning and were very dissatisfied with these remarks.
The second is the radical faction in the main battle faction, the officials of this faction are civil and military, but most of them are still civilian officials, and there are few military generals!
However, the loudest shouting among this faction is the eunuch Wang Zhen of Bingbi!
At this time, Wang Zhen pointed at those imperial historians and scolded for a while, and then said loudly: "I am dignified in China, how can I be afraid of those Tartars!" This time, the Warat mission deceived His Majesty, deceived me of the Ming reward, and also acted recklessly in Changping Prefecture, the land of Gyeonggi, what is it to kill a few people in Wara! ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhen snorted coldly and continued: "My Ming Dynasty has never compromised with those Tartars, I didn't do it before, and I won't do it now!" Kill! This time, the dynasty should gather the Tiger Ben army to march north, start a decisive battle with the Wara army, and then hit the Tartars, sweep the desert, reproduce the exploits of the emperor, and raise the prestige of our emperor! ”
Seeing that Wang Zhen had actually brought out the previous emperors, all the civil and military officials were angry, and they all opened the topic and accused Wang Zhen, a eunuch, of interfering in politics, but the orthodox emperor ignored it, obviously trusting Wang Zhen very much.
The representative ministers of the conservative faction in the main battle faction are Yu Qian, the squire of the military department, and others, and these ministers are all practical ministers and ministers of the central government without exception.
Yu Qian and others believed that the invasion of the Warat army to the south was clearly a long-planned conspiracy, and the Warat army was very sharp and imposing, and the defenders of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were scattered and unstable, so they should not have a hard time with the Warat army.
"The 300,000 Tartar cavalry are attacking in four directions, and the defenders in various places are insufficient and demoralized, so the national dynasty should not rush to attack, but should order the defenders in various places to defend the city and hold the dangerous points, curb the offensive of the four-way Warat iron cavalry, and buy time for the national dynasty to mobilize reinforcements to go north!"
Yu Qian's impassioned voice echoed above the main hall, and the orthodox emperor was silent when he heard it.
At this time, Wang Zhen sneered and asked, "Could it be that my Ming Tiger Ben can only hide within the city wall to defend, and let the Tartars run rampant everywhere?" What kind of countermeasure is this! ”
Yu Qian immediately replied: "My Ming soldiers should accumulate strength when blocking the Tartars, and then launch a counterattack after the military strength is gathered, this is the right way to use troops!" ”
"Humph!"
Wang Zhen no longer paid attention to Yu Qian, but saluted to the orthodox emperor and said, "Your Majesty! At this time, the Warat army has been divided into four ways to penetrate into the hinterland of our nine sides, if the imperial court does not mobilize the army to take the initiative to attack and kill the Tartars, then how will the people of the world view the imperial court? What will you think of me! ”
As soon as the words fell, the orthodox emperor suddenly stood up with a bookcase and said, "Okay! The Tartar army is slaughtering my Ming people, and you are still arguing here, and you can't come up with a way to deal with it, it's really a strange news in the world! ”
However, as soon as the words of the orthodox emperor fell, the entire hall exploded, and almost all the civil and military ministers argued loudly towards the orthodox emperor, so angry that the orthodox emperor almost kicked the bookcase in front of him.
At this time, the ministers of the three factions who disagreed with each other and the angry and corrupt orthodox emperor quarreled with each other, and the originally serious hall instantly became like a folk vegetable market, which looked very funny.
Until sunset, the orthodox emperor and the courtiers did not quarrel and came to a conclusion, and the ministers of the three factions still couldn't sleep with anyone, and in the end everyone still broke up unhappily.
After returning to the harem, the orthodox emperor was so angry that he trembled, and in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the courtiers of the past dynasties would not give the emperor a good face, and even many courtiers were proud of angering the emperor in exchange for the court staff, who could be angry with the emperor in the court, it would become the idol in the minds of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.
Therefore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not so good!
At this time, the orthodox emperor was sulking in the palace, and the eunuch Wang Zhen also followed, and after a while, the orthodox emperor withdrew the eunuchs and palace maids who served left and right, leaving only Wang Zhen alone in the palace, and the two discussed for a long time, until Wang Zhen hurriedly left the palace of the orthodox emperor at the beginning of the lantern.
It didn't take long for the news that the 300,000 Varat Iron Cavalry were going south in four ways reached Yushan Town, and Liu Juntao was taken aback when he heard the news, and immediately ordered the battalions of the Yushan Town Guard, the Yanzhou Mansion Zheng Barracks, and the Qi Barracks to rearm for battle.
At this time, Liu Juntao had been busy preparing for the war, and he didn't care about the assessment of Lan Siqi, Zhao Ling, and Zhang Yuqing, and even the reorganization of the two battalions of soldiers and horses in Yushan Town and Yanzhou Mansion, which was prepared to be completed before the war, did not have time to be carried out.
"Things are moving so fast!"
Liu Juntao originally thought that he would not go south to attack Ming at least in three or two months, but he didn't expect that after only half a month, he led his army south, which really caught Liu Juntao off guard!
Therefore, Liu Juntao hurriedly ordered Hu Dexing, the director of the new recruits, and Zhang Baigui, the director of the equipment department, to prepare for the reorganization of the army, and he asked Liu Zi'an to send the background information of Lan Siqi, Zhao Ling, and Zhang Yuqing over within three days, and prepare to complete the assessment of the three first.
