Tianjin Wei, the Qing Emperor is here.

In the imperial study, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was walking around a long table covered with a large topographic map, walking in a circle, and he was almost dizzy.

It's not about going around in circles, it's about looking at the map.

Ancient Chinese maps did not have the rules of going up and down the north, going down to the south, left and west to the right east (the Ming army already had this rule now), and they were limited by surveying technology, so they were not very accurate, and sometimes they looked like a landscape painting.......

But this is not the most dizzying thing, the most dizzying thing for Shunzhi and a group of Qing Dynasty military strategists is that no one told him where Shi Kefa's main force is?

No one even knows if Shi Kefa's army left the boundaries of Shandong Province?

This is because Shi Kefa scattered about 3,000 black guns and mule soldiers in the south of Beizhili, half of which were concentrated under Li Yuanyin's command and pulled cannons to cause destruction, and the other half continued to shoot black guns in platoons...... That's dozens of platoons! How do you let the sentinels of the Qing Dynasty live? If they go out in a team of three or five people, wouldn't they be in a hurry to send them to death when they encounter this group of living Hades who are fighting black guns? Even if a team of thirty or fifty people goes out and encounters a platoon of black guns, they will also suffer heavy casualties!

Those gang of black guns are not dignified, either ambushes or night attacks, no matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of black guns!

If a team of 1,200 people goes out, if it is old Manchuria, it is not easy to deal with, if it is a group of Mongolian warriors who eat fasting and pray Buddha, they meet a team of 40 black spearmen, and they will still be beaten all over the ground to find teeth!

And how many old Manchurians are there? How could it be possible for half a cow to record a cow and a cow to go out to investigate? How many teams can this be divided into? How much territory can be searched?

Therefore, Emperor Shunzhi is now as if he has been blindfolded with a black cloth, and he doesn't know the reality of his opponent at all.

You don't know anything, and you still want to use soldiers like a god?

Emperor Shunzhi was a military strategist who was familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and was also familiar with all the battles and battles fought by Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Duoduo, Azig, and Abatai...... Thanks to reconnaissance and espionage, the Qing Heavenly Soldiers were able to know the battlefield situation well in the past, and there was no such situation as now.

And in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are military advisors who can pinch and calculate to solve this situation...... But here in the Great Qing Kingdom, who can pinch it?

Thinking of this, Emperor Shunzhi stopped and looked at the group of scholars and ministers standing beside him.

There are a lot of people like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and there are characters like Zhuge Liang...... It seems to be Sony! He looked most like Manchurian Zhuge Liang.

"Sony!"

Sonny hurriedly responded: "The minion is here." ”

"You do the math, has Shi Kefa moved?"

"Count?" Sony was stunned, how could it be an arithmetic problem if Shi Kefa didn't move?

"That's right, just like Zhuge Liang did the math!" Shunzhi said.

Sonny understood: "What does the emperor mean to let the minions guess?" ”

In the case of a black eye, you can only guess......

"Guess? Guess right? Shunji is a little skeptical of Sony's skills.

"This ...... Minions don't dare to guarantee. ”

Sure enough, it's not Manchurian Zhuge Liang!

Shunzhi sighed: "Then guess what." ”

"Shi Kefa has moved!" Sony said.

"Why?" Shunzhi asked.

"Because the elite cavalry of the southern army encountered by the Mongols in Dacheng did not break through and escape, but withdrew to Qingxian to hold on." Sony analyzed, "The combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry is sparse, and with the strength of the Ming army's mule soldiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to go?" Didn't they leave just to attract the Mongols to besiege Qingxian and gain an opportunity for Shi Kefa's army to go north for a decisive battle? ”

It seems like...... Makes sense!

Emperor Shunzhi nodded, and said in his heart: Although you are not Manchurian Zhuge Liang, you are also a Manchurian Xu Yuanzhi!

"So does Shi Kefa march all the way, or several ways, step by step, or a long drive?"

Shunzhi threw out several questions again.

Sony, just keep guessing......

"The minions think ......," Sonny said, "Shi Kefa must have marched in separate ways, because although the Mongols are sparsely powerful, they are very fast. If you march all the way, you will probably not be able to catch anything, and you will be able to get a lot of money if you go north in several ways, as long as you can bump into one of them.

As for the speed of the march, it should be fast. It's impossible to do it one step at a time...... Although Shi Kefa liked to fight like this in the past, the Mongols were too difficult to catch, and if he took every step of the way, people would slip away. ”

Shunzhi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay! Sony, you are really Xu Yuanzhi of me! ”

Shouldn't it be Zhuge Liang? Sony is a little disappointed, he works so hard, why is he still a Xu Shu?

Shunzhi said with a smile: "If Shi Kefa drives forward, he will also disperse his troops...... Then there is a chance that we will win! Let's learn from Emperor Taizu, no matter how many ways he comes, I'll only go all the way! ”

How to learn?

The bachelors and ministers present were confused, and Sony guessed a rough idea, he didn't know the opponent's marching route and the distribution of troops, how could he go all the way? Where to go?

Shunzhi looked at the group of "fierce Guan Yu and fierce Zhang Fei" figures in front of him, "Which of you wants to be the main general?" ”

No one answered, because no one was sure.

Shunzhi was a little disappointed, it seems that he doesn't have characters like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his hands!

"Well, I'll go myself!" Shunzhi is also born with a calf and is not afraid of tigers, and Shi Kefa, Huang Degong, and Gao Jieke opposite him have all improved!

"Your Majesty, you are a golden body, how can you go to danger in person?"

Immediately, a loyal minister stood up, and Shunzhi saw that the loyal minister was the veteran Aixin Jueluo. Baiyintu, now there are not many "Aixin Jueluo" around Shunzhi who can fight, so Baiyintu and his brother Gong Adai are also the number one people.

And since Shunzhi had an imperial uncle, he began to read Dolgon's good...... Therefore, looking at the Baiyin Tu and Gong Adai who are attached to Dolgon, it is also much more pleasing to the eye.

"Good! Sure enough, it's the warrior who loves the Xinjueluo family! Emperor Shunzhi praised, "Bai Yintu, since you have come forward, I will order you to be the general of the barbarians, commanding the four battalions of the vanguard, firearms, Xiao cavalry, and cowardice, plus 2,000 soldiers of the Tianjin Weibu Army, and 10,000 Horqin Mongolian iron cavalry, and go south to copy Shi Kefa's back road!" ”

Now I'm a little dumbfounded, what a mouth!

Now, it's time to lead 20,000 people south to fight Shi Kefa!

If "Suo Yuanzhi" guessed correctly, it's okay, if he didn't guess correctly, Shi Kefa came to fight Tianjin with the main force, then wouldn't his more than 20,000 people be sent to the whole army to be wiped out?

......

In this battle that took place in the south of Beizhili, Shunzhi was "blind", and the war was all up to Sony to guess. And his opponent Shi Kefa is not much stronger - Shi Kefa has a total of 4,000 black spearmen in his hands, and he has too many things to do, and he has no energy left to spread out to investigate, so he has to guess now!

Let's guess together!

First of all, Shi Kefa did not guess that Shunzhi was out of Tianjin. Have you guessed what other Mongols he was fighting? Texas is no longer surrounded, and if you concentrate your forces and beat Shunzhi to death, you will win! Even if you can't beat Shunzhi and surround Tianjin, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch Manchurian fish?

But he is not an immortal, how could he guess that Shunzhi would sneak to Tianjin Wei with so many people?

Secondly, he did not ignore the existence of Tianjin Wei Fortress. On the side of Beizhili, the fortresses of the Qing army were Beijing and Tianjin, and Shi Kefa knew this situation. So he guessed that there might be a Qing army brigade on Tianjin's side, and the defeated Mongols might also retreat to Tianjin.

Therefore, he asked Huang Degong to take 8 infantry regiments, 1 cavalry battalion (black spearmen), and 2 artillery battalions (36 3-pounder guns) from the east side of the canal to the north to outflank the Tianjin Guard.

It is impossible to defeat Tianjin, Huang Degong only has more than 20,000 people on hand, and he does not have such strength, but it is still possible to threaten Tianjin, block the Mongolian cavalry from retreating to Tianjin, and sweep the periphery of Tianjin by the way.

Therefore, in this great battle, known as the "Battle of the River", there were two armies of more than 20,000 people who marched face to face...... And neither of the commanders of these two armies knew about the existence of the other!
