In the afternoon of the same day, in the Wuying Palace, Emperor Chongzhen took advantage of the emergency military information from Liaodong successively from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and quickly made the following decisions:

Send people to quickly take Emperor Chongzhen's hand out of Gubeikou and rush to Rehe Fort.

Go to Sun Chengzong, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and the minister of military aircraft, who is sitting in Rehe Town, guarding the mansion, rectifying the border of Jizhen Town, Saibei, Tuntian, armaments and other affairs, and passing on the order.

Ordered him to command all the soldiers and horses within the scope of the envoy in Rehebao, and to command all the soldiers and horses outside the border of Jizhen, outside the border of Liaodong, and Wulahada, and prepare for battle.

At the same time, Zhang Weixian, the British minister of military aircraft, took Sun Yuanhua, the director of the military department, and rushed to the training camp of the new army in Zhuozhou.

With Wang Fu, the chief officer of the training regiment of the Zhuozhou New Army Training Battalion, as the commander of the capital, and the Zhuozhou New Army Training Battalion, the commander of the military Kong Jiong, as the supervisor of the army, the second town of the Royal Guards was inspected, selected and equipped on the spot.

Over the past year and a half, Wang Fu, a veteran who was born in Dongjiang Town's deputy commander-in-chief, has conscientiously trained more than 30,000 qualified new troops in accordance with the emperor's new army drill code for the new army with his cold-bloodedness and cruelty unique to Dongjiang Town.

Now, I have finally ushered in the second spring of my military career and become the capital of the second town of the Royal Guard.

Zhu Mei, a veteran who also served as the chief officer of the training regiment of the Zhuozhou New Army Training Battalion, also came out and succeeded Wang Fu as the leader of the Zhuozhou New Army Training Battalion.

And with the promotion of Kong Zhi, the military supervisor of the Zhuozhou battalion, to the imperial history of the second town of the Guards, Huang Daozhou, the deputy envoy of the Zhuozhou battalion, also followed the tide and was promoted to the Zhuozhou battalion supervisor.

The other generals who had been ordered to train the new army in the Zhuozhou camp for a year and a half are now also facing the selection of the commanders of the Left Association, the Right Association, and the Central Army in the second town of the Guards Army.

In addition to personally appointing Wang Fu and Fang Kongzhi, Emperor Chongzhen handed over the power to elect the deputy commander of the second town of the Guards Army to Zhang Weixian, the minister of military aircraft, and Sun Yuanhua, the director of the military department.

Then the power to select the commanders of the second town left and right associations was handed over to Wang Fu and Fang Kongzhi.

At the same time, there were a total of fifteen positions in the battalion officer class below the standard commander of the left and right associations, but Emperor Chongzhen appointed six people in one go.

With a handful of instructions, the four attendant military attachés He Zan, Hou Gongji, You Yangkun, and Cao Dingjiao, who were already considered veterans, as well as Hui Shixian and Li Hongsi, who stayed in the Jiangwutang as instructors after graduating from the first phase of the lecture hall, were sent to the second town of the Guards Army to serve as the subordinate battalion officers.

Of course, in addition to sending an order to Sun Chengzong to sit in Rehebao to reorganize the army, and to let Zhang Weixian, Sun Yuanhua and others select and equip the second town of the Guards as soon as possible, Emperor Chongzhen also asked Gong Yonggu to send a number of men and horses at the same time, escorting Chongzhen's military salary in the fourth quarter of the second year, rushing to Xuanfu and Datong to the west, and crossing the sea to Denglai and Dongjiang to the east to prepare for war.

At noon on September 12, on the third day when Emperor Chongzhen made these decisions with everyone in the Wuying Palace, the military intelligence report from the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was sent to the military aircraft and was soon sent to Emperor Chongzhen.

and Lu Shanji reported the song, the front and rear feet were sent to the Qianqing Palace, and there was also a secret report sent to the emperor by Zheng Zhihui, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch in Jinzhou, through the Dongchang channel.

Lu Shanji further confirmed the direction of the Jianyu army in the public report of the Liaodong Governor's Office, and the Jianyu did not go north, but detoured to Tieling and Kaiyuan, and converged with the Red Banner Lord Belle Yuetuo stationed in the Tieling area, and then marched all the way to the northwest and went straight to Horqin.

Now that Guangning City is in the hands of Jianyu Angala, and Dalinghe is in the hands of Derge, it is many times more difficult for the night collectors in Liaodong Town to find out the news of Jianyu.

However, the whereabouts of Jianyu could not be concealed from the shepherds of the Kulen tribe, who are now grazing in the northwest of Quang Ninh and west of Tieling.

The army of Zhenghuangqi, Huangqi, Zhenglan and Red Banner led by Huang Taiji, as well as more than 100,000 Qiding soldiers and clothed servants.

With such a large march, and most of them cavalry or mounted infantry, it is difficult to hide their whereabouts in any case.

Therefore, after Huang Taiji's army, Nayan Enkhbayar of the Kulun tribe soon got the tip, and immediately sent people to the south to deliver the news to the city of Yiju.

The Kulun tribe is a small tribe, with a population of only more than 10,000 men, women, and children, and only about 2,000 young men who can play bows and horses to become cavalrymen.

A small tribe like this, in the face of the vigorous and mighty army of Jianyu, is destined to be a vassal of the Houjin State in the past, and there is no other choice at all.

This time, the Nayan of the Kulun Department and the commander of the Kulunwei under the command of the Ulan Hada Command Envoy Enkhbayar, after a short period of vacillation and hesitation, finally chose to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

The fate of the Ao Han tribe and the Naiman tribe made him sincerely afraid, and whenever he thought of the corpse towers standing on the grassland, Enkhbayar felt afraid, if it wasn't for the defection at that time, the weak Kulun tribe would also be the same end of extermination.

Of course, what made Enkhbayar determined to stand on the side of the Ming Dynasty was his impression of the city of Uiju.

For him, the city of Uiju, now known as the Octagonal City, is completely unconquerable, at least a hundred times stronger than the legendary most impregnable mountain city of Geljurgen in the Eastern Mongolian steppe.

When the fort fort on the city of Yiju was trying to shoot the Hongyi cannon, Chen Renxi, the imperial historian of the Liaodong Town Supervisory Army, and Lin Maochun, the commander of the left road of Liaozhen, specially invited the leaders of the Karaqin and Kulun tribes to watch the ceremony, and Enkhbayar was among them.

The shocking scene of the giant red-coated cannons at the head of the city of Yiju, which is known as the invincible general of Shenwei, is still fresh in his memory.

The huge volume of three or four thousand catties, the huge sound of explosions like thunder, and the huge range of a cannon more than ten miles away all made Enkhbayar stunned and dazzled.

The most important thing is that such a powerful invincible general cannon has a total of sixty guns on top of the four gates and eight huge fortresses in Uiju City!

In addition, Enkhbayar's younger brother Hu Helu also went deep into the land of Gyeonggi in the Daming Pass and participated in the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting in the second year of Chongzhen.

Hu Helu's trip, especially what he saw and heard along the way, made this always unruly grassland man, after returning to the Kulun Department, completely become a die-hard supporter of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland.

Of course, the changes of his younger brother Hu and Lu also affected Enkhbayar.

The Jurchens of the Later Jin Kingdom are indeed powerful, but compared with the Ming Dynasty in the south, I am afraid that they are still a lot worse.

The tribes of the steppe have always supported the strong, let alone a weak tribe like the Kulun Tribe?

They had no choice but to choose the strong.

Enkhbayar's timely report to Yiju City made Lu Shanji immediately find out the whereabouts of the Jianyu army.

Huang Taiji, this is going to Horqin!

So what did Huang Taiji do when he went to Horqin with such a huge army, would he take revenge for the defeat of the Horqin people in September last year, and go south to attack the Karaqin tribes that belonged to the Ming Dynasty?

Or, Huang Taiji just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty to conquer Chahar in the west and subdue the entire Monan Mongolia?

Although Lu Shanji did not make a definitive judgment on Huang Taiji's purpose, his suggestion was very sober.

That is, no matter what Huang Taiji's purpose is, the Ming Dynasty cannot stand idly by, cannot let him get his wish, and cannot let him achieve these goals smoothly.

Therefore, Lu Shanji, while thinking that the area around the Xilamulun River had sent a night expedition team from Liaodong Town, on the other hand, he wrote down Jianyu's accurate whereabouts and his own response suggestions into a song, and sent people to send a horse to report to Beijing.

His suggestion was also very simple, that is, to take advantage of the opportunity when Huang Taiji led the main force of Jianguo to expedition to Chahar or to attack Karaqin in the south, and then launched an offensive on the rear road of Jianlu's hinterland in Liaodong, especially in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula and Dongjiang Town.

If the Jianguo army in the area of Guangning and Daling River can be mobilized to the east to rescue, then the Ming army of Liaodong Town, behind the Ningjin defense line, can take the opportunity to attack Shenyang and go straight to the heart of Jianlu.

If it is not possible to mobilize the Jianyu army of Guangning and Dalinghe to return to the east to rescue, then Liaodong Town can also arrange a large encirclement and fight an ambush battle together with Jizhen, Xuanfu, Rehe Town Shoufu and Karaqin.

Lu Shanji's report from Ning Yuan gave the ministers who were qualified to participate in the Jianji Palace's Wangri Dynasty Meeting a relatively clear and accurate judgment on Jianyu's movements, and therefore, they were no longer suspicious of the will of Emperor Chongzhen to reorganize the armament war in the name of the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department.

As for the secret report sent by the eunuch Zheng Zhihui to the emperor, it is about the situation of going back and forth with the envoys Dahai and Kurtang of the Later Jin Dynasty and the envoys.

Huang Taiji has been leading the army to set off for half a month, and the high-level officials of Jianyu, such as Dege, Dahai, and Kurtang, who are in the Daling River, are still quietly arguing with Zheng Zhihui around the demarcation of Daming and Houjin, and they are not affected at all, as if there is no such thing at all.

Correspondingly, whether it is the Jinyi Wei Liaodong Thousand Households Office, or the personnel of the Dongchang Liaodong Station, or the Ningyuan Liaodong Governor's Mansion, no one has leaked any news to Zheng Zhihui.

According to Lu Shanji's order, in order to prevent Zheng Zhihui from having any abnormal performance in the negotiations with Dahai and others, He Kegang, the chief general of Jinzhou, and Guo Guang, the deputy military envoy of Liaodong who was sitting in Jinzhou, deliberately concealed from Zheng Zhihui the imperial court's intention to order him to reorganize the army.
