Xiao Mu did follow Lin Yi's suggestion and summoned Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui and other senior officers who led the troops, in addition to Yuan Chonghuan, the other two border army commanders, Xuanfu, Datong's chief soldier Hou Shilu and Mangui Xiao Mu were all seen for the first time, and in addition to these three commanders, Xiao Mu also saw some other senior generals they brought, such as Zu Dashou, Zhao Shujiao, Cao Wenzhao, He Kegang, etc., a series of names that Xiao Mu had not heard before.

Among them, Xiao Mu is the only one who has heard the name of the least famous, not even on the same level as them, that is, Hou Shilu's son Hou Gongji, because in the previous battle of robbing the camp on the grassland, the son of Hou Gongji, the most Xuanfu chief soldier Hou Shilu, also went to war with the army and made meritorious contributions, which was written in the chapter of retribution, and was read by Xiao Mu.

Of course, Xiao Mu will definitely not be able to remember so many people in one breath, but all in all, for him, it doesn't seem to be very important what the names of these generals are, as long as he knows their existence, they are all the best in the Ming army.

Of course, the most fundamental purpose of summoning them is to guide and understand the policy and plan of the battle, and to confirm the number of military supplies and grass, but since Lin Mu has already reminded Xiao Mu, and it is indeed not difficult to encourage them by the way, Xiao Mu naturally listened to Lin Yi's suggestion, and praised and encouraged Yuan Chonghuan and other generals fiercely, saying that they were all the "pillars" of the Ming Dynasty and his "ministers of the humerus".

Such a high evaluation naturally received an extremely strong response, Yuan Chonghuan and other generals were all grateful, and knelt down and said, "Although you can't repay the emperor's great favor in case of death", everyone seems to be gearing up, and can't wait to go out of the city to fight with Huang Taiji, and repay the emperor's trust with the results of the battle.

Soon, these generals, who had been personally received and encouraged by Xiao Mu, were given the opportunity to repay the emperor's favor, because the war between the Ming and the Later Jin under the city of Beijing had begun. ……

Huang Taiji led the army to the city of Beijing, naturally not for tourism, and for them every day in the pass looting time is very precious, in vain idle time is a waste, so after setting up the camp for a simple repair, the army generals after the physical strength recovered, then tried to start the attack on the capital.

After the war began, even sitting in the palace, Xiao Mu could always faintly hear the rumbling sound of the Hongyi cannon coming from the city wall, and if he was closer, the sound of fighting and shouting outside the city would probably be able to be heard.

However, the rumbling of artillery alone already made Xiao Mu feel very nervous, because the importance of this war was simply self-evident - in fact, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there had not been a few cases of enemy soldiers approaching the capital.

Xiao Mu couldn't think carefully about what the consequences of losing this war would be, because Xiao Mu always couldn't think about such consequences at the beginning of his thinking - first of all, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive, and Lin Yi, as the empress, would have to commit suicide if she didn't want to be insulted by the enemy, so that the life of the child of Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, that is, the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely not be able to be saved.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu felt more and more that even for the sake of the safety of the original owner of the body he trusted, that is, the wife and children of Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely not lose this war.

Of course, although the Ming side was on the defensive, with the fortified city and artillery as the backing, the battle was relatively easy, and Huang Taiji's Houjin army did not have an advantage in terms of numbers and siege equipment, and it was almost impossible for the capital to be lost, but after all, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and this was also Xiao Mu's first personal experience, and as the nominal supreme commander, he personally experienced such a large-scale war that decided the fate of a country, which made him have no way not to feel nervous, and his heart was pounding. In particular, he is very aware of his ignorance of ancient warfare, and he may make a stupid move if he is not careful.

Therefore, Xiao Mu almost never interferes in professional issues such as the specific deployment of operations, and everything is subject to the choices of the following courtiers - in Xiao Mu's view, when it comes to war, ministers of the DPRK and China like Wang Zaijin, and front-line generals like Yuan Chonghuan are experts, and the judgments and choices they make are obviously better than their own laymen among laymen, I don't know how many times.

Moreover, Xiao Mu has heard Lin Ye say many times that he does not have the so-called "protagonist aura" and "luck" at all, since there is no such "luck", then the operational deployment proposed by a layman like himself who knows nothing about military affairs, or the modification of the original combat deployment is undoubtedly impossible to work in a great probability, or it will lead to extremely serious consequences, Xiao Mu also has a clear understanding of this point.

In addition, from childhood to adulthood, Xiao Mu has read a lot of stories and examples of the victory of the war that was buried due to the emperor's excessive command to the generals below, and even directly buried the Jiangshan Sheji, Xiao Mu himself certainly didn't want to be the "pig teammate" who dragged the generals back, and he didn't want to be recorded as a "mediocre" emperor in history in the future.

All in all, Xiao Mu did not interfere in the command of the entire operation, everything is subject to the judgment of professionals, at least in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in this war, Xiao Mu can confirm that the "layman guides the insider" thing has never happened.

However, war is never so simple and easy, even if Xiao Mu has never made random ideas, nor has he ever commanded blindly, everything is left to the best ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty to decide and deal with - but this does not necessarily mean that the final victory of the war will be achieved, or that this is only a prerequisite for the victory of the war, not a decisive factor. On the contrary, failure to do so is undoubtedly the decisive factor in defeat, not a prerequisite.

The current situation also confirms this, in the two days after Huang Taiji began to attack the capital, the Ming army was not able to gain any advantage in this battle, but suffered heavy losses under the attack of the elite Houjin army.
