758 Emperor Chongzhen's intentions

However, bows and arrows are different from crossbows, and the rate of fire of bows and arrows depends on the archer itself, and they are much faster than crossbows. These archers in the new army are all selected from the archers in the armies of various borders, and there is nothing to say about their arm strength and bow and arrow skills.

Those who rushed in dodged the first arrow, and even if they dodged the second arrow, they were often overturned by the successive arrows.

At this time, it can be said that the arrows fired by the bows and arrows in front of the Ming army were as dense as the bullets fired by the machine guns of later generations, although they could not last long, but in a short period of time, a large number of Jianyu who were charging were killed and injured, and for a while, Jianyu could not rush over again.

The courage shown by the archers of the Ming army made those Jianyu who rushed over with a roar finally change their faces, and they no longer had that fierce and courageous spirit, after all, everyone only has one life! The morale of Jianyu's charge was immediately suppressed.

This battle situation far exceeded everyone's expectations. Hai Lanzhu excitedly took Bu He's hand and said, "Eqige, look, have you seen it?" Can you imagine that it is so powerful? ”

Most Mongolians have been touching bows and arrows since childhood, and it can be said that everyone is an archer. However, only a small fraction of them were strong and arm-long, capable of drawing a stiff bow and having the strength to shoot as many arrows as possible in a short period of time.

But now that they see that the archers in the Ming army have such ability, it is impossible not to be surprised! Buhe turned his head to look at his daughter, and immediately turned back to look at the battlefield. Seeing that the morale of the Qing army was gone, at this time, he suddenly had a faint feeling in his heart that the Ming army could really win the Qing army in the field!

Hai Lanzhu was very happy at this time, seeing that she didn't respond to her forehead, she really wanted to find someone to share her joy, so she immediately entered the chat group and chatted with Emperor Chongzhen privately: "Your Majesty, the two armies under the earth mountain have fought, and our Ming army shot Jianyu on his back, so powerful!" ”

This war was actually ordered by Emperor Chongzhen, and he naturally has been paying attention to the progress of the war. At this time, when I saw Hai Lanzhu chatting privately, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her say "We are Ming Army", this wife can!

Before he could reply, Hai Lanzhu's next private chat came again: "Your Majesty, do you know that the new army will definitely be able to win the Jianyu?" I'm the same, but I pray that they weren't optimistic at first, thinking that our Ming army would lose, hehe, he has nothing to say now! ”

Emperor Chongzhen saw that this was what he wanted, so he replied to her: "I have a lot of confidence in the new army, and I have selected this time point for battle. You see, there is a shortage of military food on the Jianyu side, so they are all saved. It is estimated that Huang Taiji did not expect that a war would break out at this time. I estimate that it is likely that only those who are on the front line will have enough to eat, and those who stay in the camp will probably not have enough to eat......"

Seeing these words, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but be surprised, because her stomach reacted, and as soon as she heard the word about eating, she "gurgled" in her head.

"I let the new army eat first, and when it was almost rested, I suddenly started this battle just as Jianyu was about to eat, which made the conditions of the decisive battle between the two sides unequal from the beginning, and increased the chances of victory. Coupled with the capabilities of this new army, I have no reason not to believe that the new army will emerge victorious! ”

Hai Lanzhu was surprised when she heard this, and then subconsciously replied: "Your Majesty, you are so cunning...... No, you're amazing! ”

Whether it is cunning or powerful, it is all a compliment, Emperor Chongzhen didn't mind, he then replied to Hai Lanzhu and said: "When this battle is won or lost, there is one thing you need to do, you can discuss it with your father and let your father arrange it." ”

As soon as she heard this, Hai Lanzhu lost the embarrassment of her speech, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, what do you say, I will definitely let me do it!" ”

"Spread the news to the Mongolian tribes, just say that the Mongols who surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not treat them badly, such as the Chahar Department, the Tumut Department, etc., they have a winter warm house and winter food on the side of the Naturalization City, and their lives are very good!"

Hai Lanzhu hadn't paid attention to this matter before, and she was taken aback when she heard this, but since it was Emperor Chongzhen's Chrysostom, she didn't doubt it, and immediately believed it.

Hai Lanzhu is a smart person, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked in a private chat: "Your Majesty, do you want them all to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Well, they only have one way out, that is, to surrender to my Daming, the leaders of all ethnic groups will be like the chief of the Chahar Department, and they can seal the official position of Daming, and they will be prosperous and wealthy. However, the herdsmen at the bottom must accept the reorganization of the Ming Dynasty. If they don't believe me, they can send someone to the city of naturalization to see if what I say is true or not. ”

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen proposed this matter at this time was because on the Hetao side, the governor Hong Chengchou reflected a matter to him, that is, in the big war on the Hetao side, the cavalry of Qin and Jin had to be mobilized in advance every time to make up for the lack of troops in the Hetao area.

It's okay once or twice, but if it continues like this in the future, there will be problems, and if the enemy attacks in advance, then the Naturalization City side will deal with it passively, and this kind of borrowing troops will delay the big thing. Therefore, Hong Chengchou put forward the demand that the Hetao should be expanded.

After Emperor Chongzhen received this request, he also agreed with Hong Chengchou's view. In addition, there are some things that Hong Chengchou doesn't know yet, otherwise, maybe this request would have been mentioned a long time ago.

In Emperor Chongzhen's plan, Guihua City was just a fulcrum of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland, and in the future, he would continue to send troops to conquer the northern Khalkha Mongolia and occupy Siberia, and the western Mongolian Oirat to conquer the Caucasus and occupy the oil and gas fields there. And these wars, if the Han people in the Central Plains do it, it will be very difficult. However, after the reorganization of the Mongols, it was not too difficult to go on an expedition. After all, their ancestors had already done it once, and they were familiar with it.

In the previous time, the conditions were not ripe, and Emperor Chongzhen did not mention it. But now, he can grasp the situation outside Gaizhou City in real time through Hailanzhu, and knows that the various Mongolian tribes have separated from Jianyu, and his hometown has also been copied by the Ming army. Once the myth of the invincibility of the Jianlu field is defeated, let them see with their own eyes that after the Ming army won the Jianyu field battle, as long as the Mongolian tribe does not want the tribe to perish, surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is its best way out.

And this is also the real reason why the new army did not retreat immediately after seizing Tushan this time, but wanted to fight a battle with Jianyu.

After Hai Lanzhu listened to Emperor Chongzhen's request, she immediately agreed and went to discuss with Buhe.
