Chapter 436 Hong Chengchou's Little Abacus

After Ma Tianjun finished his kind words with the generals, he returned to his seat and sat down.

"That's it, Ma County is happy to be promoted, you can find time to celebrate again, we still have military affairs to talk about now, General Li, please tell General Liu about the enemy situation intercepted by our army to General Liu, General Li, General Yang, General Zhang, General Liu, General Wang." Hong Chengchou said to Lee Ming-che.

"Yes, commander," Li Mingzhe first agreed, and then said to the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army: "According to the information intercepted by the border army, this time Koubian is the Chahar Department entrenched in Qinghai, and its leader is Lin Dan Khan, and the army he brought out of Koubian this time has 50,000 people.

If you just listen to this number of troops, it seems that the Chahar Department is still very difficult, but in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Chahar Department may not be very strong. Because the Chahar Department was originally nomadic in the Liaohe Hetao, when the Wanli Emperor was still in power, he once attacked and harassed the military towns of Gyeonggi and Liaodong, and his strength was quite strong.

Later, the old slave got into trouble, and Jiannu gradually grew bigger in Liaodong, Lin Dan Khan was afraid of the power of Jiannu, so he moved all the way west, first to Hetao to suppress the Tumut Department and the Ordos Department, but the Tumut and Ordos Ministries, Taiji was not convinced, so he secretly communicated with Jiannu and asked Jiannu's troops to attack the Chahar Department.

The Chahar tribe was defeated by the Jiannu soldiers, fled westward again, abandoned the land of the Hetao, and transferred to the pasture of the Tumut tribe in Qinghai. Under the attack of Jiannu, the livestock and people of the Chahar Department suffered heavy losses, and according to the Mongols who surrendered to the Chahar Department captured by the border army, the Chahar Department has now fallen into famine and is very short of food.

Because of this, Lin Dan Khan came out with 50,000 soldiers who could still control the strings, intending to obtain food from our Ming Dynasty in order to relieve them of the danger of food shortage. Li Mingzhe was full of joy and revealed the information obtained by Daming.

Liu Renyu and other generals all nodded their heads again and again, and they all felt that this was called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and they would not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Hong Chengchou waited until Li Mingzhe finished talking about the enemy's situation, and then took over the conversation and said: "General Li is right, the Chahar Department is already at the end of the road, and they are now extremely short of food, so the main purpose of this operation is, of course, to plunder.

Qinghai is close to the military town of Gansu, this place in Gansu is barren, there is no wilderness, the small villages and towns are not strong and clear, and Lin Dan Khan can not get too much food. As for the big cities with grain, the official has ordered all states and counties to strictly guard the cities and not to fight, and the northern captives are all cavalry who come and go like the wind, and field battles are their strength, but attacking fortified cities is not their forte.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan led 100,000 troops to attack Datong, there were only 1,000 defenders in Datong City, Lin Dan Khan could not conquer it, now he only has 50,000 tired and difficult divisions, and its siege ability is bound to be more weak.

This strategy of war and defense was originally quite stable, but there was still a suspicion of showing weakness to the enemy, increasing the enemy's morale, and destroying his own prestige, so the official decided that all the fortified prefectures and counties in Shaanxi Province would be firmly defended and the enemy army would be exhausted.

Thinking that there are only 50,000 soldiers left in the northern Chahar tribe, if all of them are explained to my Daming, he Chahar is afraid that it will definitely be annexed by other tribes, or be destroyed by Jiannu. Therefore, this official expects that Lin Dan Khan has no determination to fight to the death, and I have a great chance of winning against 15,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty against 50,000 hungry and desperate soldiers of the Northern Captives. I don't know what Liu Zongzhen and General Li think, and whether they are willing to fight. Hong Chengchou said a big call, and then asked with a smile.

Liu Renyu, Li Jiye and other cadres saw that Hong Chengchou said such a big reason when he got started, and he also said that the head is the Tao, which is really reasonable, and they are all admired.

It was Liu Renyu who immediately said with a look of sincere admiration: "There are really thousands of ravines in the commander's chest, the slightest analysis of the enemy's situation, and the strategy of battle defense is very appropriate. According to the commander's statement, the 50,000 captives in the north are just a rabble, and our army will attack with all its might, and the chances of victory will be very great, and the mark is willing to fight. ”

Liu Renyu on this side of the carriage had such a resolute attitude and expressed his attitude so quickly, and Li Mingzhe on the other side naturally replied in a voice not to be outdone: "The last general has nothing to say, the last general just wants to make a statement, where the commander's whip is pointed, the last general will lead the troops to rush there." ”

Hong Chengchou saw that the generals of the two mobile legions under his command were willing to attack, so he was naturally relieved and unhappy.

In fact, if you simply use the tactics of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, it is enough to get through the northern captives, as long as there is no big city in Shaanxi that has fallen, it is not very important, if you use this method, it is okay to fool the first emperor, but the current emperor Chongzhen is really not a master with sand in his eyes.

In the first year of Lin Dan Khan Chongzhen's invasion of Shanxi, 100,000 people did not defeat Datong, who only had 1,000 defenders.

As a result, the imperial court officials and imperial historians actually seized on the stain that Lin Dan Khan killed tens of thousands of Ming people, and repeatedly accused this Datong guard of failing to defend the territory and watching the northern captives brutalize the people.

The poor Datong guard was arrested and imprisoned because of this, and died unexpectedly.

This bloody fact told Hong Chengchou that if he boiled Beiyu away like this, he was afraid that Jinyiwei would come to lock him up and take him into Beijing to ask for his guilt. So he made such a genius plan.

The vast majority of the Ming army is already rotten, and the field combat capability is basically zero, so it is better to simply stay in the city and defend the city.

Hong Chengchou believes that the Jingbian Fort Army plus the 5,000 relatively elite soldiers under Li Mingzhe are enough to defeat the 50,000 soldiers of the Northern Captives, because after all, the Northern Captives are only here to rob, and these 50,000 people are the last seeds of the Chahar Department, and Lin Dan Khan is definitely not willing to squander them.

Shaanxi is currently strong combat effectiveness of the two armies to attack the Beiyu, that is, there is no big victory, and will definitely succeed in repelling the Beiyu, if they take the initiative with their men and horses to attack and repel the Beiyu, then in the eyes of the good-faced court princes and emperors, this is also enough to demonstrate the Ming national prestige of the action, the Beiyu killed the Ming people This little problem can be completely covered up.

Hong Chengchou finished his small abacus crackling in his heart, then waved his hand and said to Li Mingzhe: "Mr. Liu, General Li, the northern captives are currently looting in the Gansu military town, and this official now orders you to prepare and set off tomorrow to go to Gansu for a decisive battle with the northern captives." ”

"Yes, Commander." Liu Renyu and Lee Ming-che stood up and responded in a sonorous voice.
