Anyone can see that the new construction of the Beijing camp is to guard against the Tiance army. In the past few years, the military strength in the Jingshi region has been seriously unbalanced, and the new Beijing camp is to balance the Tiance army.

Cao Bianjiao's face froze, and he knelt down and said: "Back to the saint, if the Tiance army dares to rebel, Cao Bianjiao will definitely lead the army to be the vanguard to pacify it." is to break the bones, and resolutely defend my Ming Dynasty. ”

"If Cao Bianjiao has the slightest idea of attaching a thief, he will die with five thunderbolts!"

The new army's shotgun replacement gave Cao Bianjiao great confidence. Now that the various divisions of the Beijing Division are being equipped with new artillery, with the high walls of the Beijing Division and the powerful firepower of the new army, he is confident that he will repel any invading enemy.

"Ministers serve the emperor, and they will never give up!" Huang Degong and others also hurriedly followed to show their loyalty.

Chongzhen helped the beard and said: "Okay, the Qing family is loyal, and I am very comforted." Cao Bianjiao, you will command the formation of the new army, and let me see the performance of the new firearms and artillery. ”

"Obey the order!"

……。

The establishment and preparation of the new Beijing camp took several months, which was not a secret to Wang Yue.

If you are Chongzhen, you will also rebuild the Beijing camp, after all, the Tiance Army is not in the hands of the imperial court, and it has a history of rebellion, so it is difficult to fully believe it.

The total strength of the new army is close to 70,000 in the new Beijing camp and the new army in the Xuanda area, and most of the new army's funding sources come from Chongzhen's internal funds, of which 50,000 have been converted into pure firearms troops. This is a huge expense, which shows Chongzhen's determination to build a new army.

However, Wang Yue did not pay too much attention to the new army, after all, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, the equipment of the new army is not as good as the foreign trade version of the Tiance army.

"Commander, according to the Air Force's reconnaissance, there have been signs of large-scale transfers in Jiannu since last month. In recent days, the Jiannu in Liaodong have taken turns harassing and attacking our forward positions in Fuzhou, but they have all been repulsed by our Third Brigade. Li Zixuan called for instructions, hoping to lead his troops north to sweep the defense line of the Qing army in Gaizhou. ”

The No. 1 dock landing ship, the combat conference room, Li Zixiong, chief of staff of the Tiance Army, made a report on the battle situation.

Most of the Tiance Army of the Eastern Expedition to Japan has begun to evacuate one after another, and the two brigades of the Public Security Army that remain in Japan for the time being have returned to Tianjin in advance.

Wang Yue asked, "Chief of Staff, tell me in detail about the specific movements of Jiannu." ”

"Yes!" Li Zixiong walked to the big map and introduced: "The movement of Jiannu's troops involves the entire area under the jurisdiction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it can be divided into three parts from west to east. ”

He pointed to the map with his whip and said: "To the west, the Ao Han Division, the Naiman Division, the Karaqin Division, the Tumut Division, the Tushetu Division, the Zasaktu Division, and so on of the Outer Mongolian Domain are all massing troops along the Great Wall in the direction of Xuanda, with a forecast of 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

In the direction of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, Duoduo, the prince of Jiannuyu, led 80,000 troops and attacked Songshan again on May 10.

The commander of Songshan guarded the capital with Jin Guofeng, commanded an army of nearly 10,000 people, and fought hard with Jiannu in Beishangang, and died after exhausting his efforts. After that, the Jiannu army approached Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

On the line from Shengjing to Gaizhou, the old nest of Jiannu, more than 300,000 troops gathered in the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, pressing in the direction of Fuzhou, which can be described as violent. ”

Wang Yue did not express his opinion, but looked at the generals present and said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

Feng Yuanshan said: "What about Jiannu's gathering of 300,000 troops in Liaodong, with the combat strength of the third brigade and two public security army brigades, Jiannu will not be able to break through our army's Fuzhou defense line at all.

Ningyuan was blocked by the Ning army, and Jiannu was unable to break through Shanhaiguan.

What we really have to worry about is the passes along the Xuanda Great Wall, although Xuanda has 30,000 or 40,000 new troops, but only 20,000 people have been equipped with new firearms, and the defense line is too long, once it breaks through at one point, Jiannu may enter the pass again. ”

"Jiannu's real intention should be the headquarters of our army's third brigade in Lushun, because Huang Taiji is like a mang on his back." Wang Hongwu, commander of the Fourth Brigade, said slowly.

"Our army has become a thorn in Jiannu's eyes, and if we don't pull out this nail in Lushun, Huang Taiji will definitely have trouble sleeping.

Huang Taiji invested a lot of manpower and time in the construction of the Nu trench fortress on the first line of Gaizhou, and the long-term preparation was to give the Third Brigade a fatal blow.

The harassment operations in recent days were aimed at luring the 3rd Brigade to attack the Gaizhou defensive line, trying to inflict heavy damage on the 3rd Brigade with trenches and fortresses, and finally recovering Lushun. ”

Wang Yue nodded in agreement and said: "What Hongwu said is very reasonable, Huang Taiji must have dreamed of defeating our army, and in order to achieve this goal, the top management of Jiannu must have racked their brains." ”

All the generals laughed when they heard this, the Qing army did suffer too much in the hands of the Tiance army.

Wang Hongwu continued: "It is very intriguing that Jiannu launched an offensive at this point in time.

Since last year, the Central Plains Liukou rebelled again, and the imperial army successively went to Henan, Shaanxi and other places to quell the rebellion. Judging from the situation this year, the official army's crackdown on bandits has been quite effective, and Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng and others have been driven away.

He thought that the movement of Jiannu along the Xuanda Great Wall and in the direction of Shanhaiguan was to contain the officials and troops and respond to the Liukou, after all, the war within the Ming Dynasty was the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Since the end of February, our army has been conquering the Japanese state in the east, and in early May, all sides of the Japanese state have been defeated, and the speed of the end of the war has exceeded the expectations of the imperial court, and it must have also exceeded the expectations of Jiannu.

The means of communication of Jiannu are still very primitive, and they are usually counted in months. He believed that Jiannu should have learned from some channels that the main force of our army was going east to conquer the Wa State, and believed that this war would inevitably be protracted, and the main force of our army was dragged in the Wa State, which was the best time to launch an offensive. ”

Wang Yue smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Hongwu's analysis is very reasonable, but it's a pity that Huang Taiji miscalculated the progress of our army's war. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Gu Xiuquan, the director of the Investigation Bureau: "Xiuquan, our army's eastward expedition to the Japanese country has not been hyped up, how could Jiannu find out about the movements of our army?" ”

Gu Xiuquan thought for a while and said: "Commander, Jiannu has spies in all parts of our Ming Dynasty, including North Korea, and it is not difficult to know the general movements of our army." In particular, the fact that North Korea was able to set foot on the territory of the Japanese nation as a victor was widely spread in North Korea. ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Well, that's probably it." ”

He said to Li Zixiong again: "Zixiong, you call Li Zixuan in the name of the headquarters and ask him to launch a tentative attack in the direction of Gaizhou to find out the true intentions of Jiannu." ”

"Yes!" Li Zixiong said.

Then Wang Yue said: "From now on, the six army brigades of our Tiance Army will be upgraded to six army divisions, and according to the principle of the three-three system, each Tiance army brigade will be mixed into two public security army A brigades, and the six brigade commanders will be upgraded to division commanders with the rank of major general. ”
