readx; No matter what the courtiers said, Zhu Youzhen's overall strategy of resisting Jin had already been decided. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is also very simple to say, it is the sixteen-character phalanx of the old man!

Again, the strategy is divided into four phases. The first stage was "the enemy advancing and I retreating," and Zhu Youzhen had previously taken the initiative to abandon Dalinghe, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan, which was the main task of this stage. The reason is also very simple, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply impossible to support a long-term war of attrition in Liaodong. Rather than exhausting the national strength there, it is better to take the initiative to give up for the time being, retract your fists, and fight again after accumulating strength.

As for the later Houjin army's breakthrough and entry into the Kou, it was also within Zhu Youzhen's calculations. Although this will inevitably bring great losses to the people, China's vast territory and great strategic depth will not make the Ming Dynasty fall once or twice.

On the contrary, although the Houjin could loot a lot of property and even population, they were far away from the rear and fought deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, which was a great risk in itself. And it can only be fed by war, and if you can't grab enough military supplies, you will immediately get into trouble. Therefore, the Jin army will definitely not stay for too long, and it is still a strategy and tactic to grab a handful and run. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen was actually not afraid that Huang Taiji would break in from Xifengkou, which was still within the scope of "the enemy advanced and I retreated", but he was not well prepared and sacrificed the general Zhao Shujiao, making him regret it.

However, this "retreat" is not an unprincipled escapism, and there are two important strategic fulcrums that Zhu Youzhen cannot give up no matter what, that is, Jingshi and Shanhaiguan. Needless to say, Jingshi is the symbol of the Ming Empire, if Jingshi is lost, people's hearts will be scattered, and the back can only be a rout all the way until it is completely wiped out. The Son of Heaven guards the 'gate' of the country, and this is the significance.

The geographical location of Shanhaiguan is unique, although the Houjin army can bypass it from other places, but Shanhaiguan has always stuck the "neck" between Liaodong and Guannei. There is Shanhaiguan, and Daming retains a springboard for counterattack; If Shanhaiguan is lost, I am afraid that Liaodong will never be able to recover it.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen strictly ordered the defenders of Shanhaiguan not to act rashly, he was really afraid that Zu Dashou, Man Gui and other troops would recklessly raise troops to rescue the Beijing Division, and as a result, they were wiped out by the Houjin Army in the field battle.

As for the Jingshi, the expansion project was not done in vain. Although it has not yet been completed, Zhu Youzhen is confident that he will defend this unprecedented city. Therefore, not only is he not afraid that Huang Taiji will come to fight the Beijing Division, on the contrary, he is afraid that Huang Taiji will not come to the Beijing Division, but will rob other places, which will be really a big trouble.

The first phase is the most important of the overall strategy. The reason is also very simple, if the first stage collapses, there will be no later "enemy stationed and disturbing us", "the enemy is tired and I fight", and "the enemy retreats and I chase".

Now the Houjin army has really come over, and the only thing that Zhu Youzhen expected is that it came too early, and the preparation of the Beijing division is not sufficient. In this case, the firearms brought by the Portuguese were of great importance. Now that Jizhou has fallen, the Houjin army may go south at any time, cut off the official road from Beijing to Dagu, and may even snatch away that batch of firearms, so wouldn't Zhu Youzhen become the captain of the transportation brigade?

Therefore, there is absolutely no room for failure in the receipt and transport of firearms this time. The defenders of Shanhaiguan could not move, and the officers and soldiers of Jizhou lacked effective command because of the death of Zhao Shuojiao, and their combat effectiveness was not strong, so it was difficult to take on a big task. Thinking about it, the only way to do this is to use three battalions of cavalry to accomplish this difficult task.

Why doesn't Zhu Youzhen want to sit in Beijing and control the overall situation? If Li Dingguo is here, he will definitely 'hand' over this task to Li Dingguo with confidence. However, the expeditionary force was still on its way back, and the biography of the flying pigeon also said that Li Dingguo and many of his soldiers were suffering from malaria and could not arrive soon. Xie Sheng is responsible for guarding the Beijing Division, so the only general that Zhu Youzhen can use is Hao Yongzhong, the commander of the 3,000 battalion.

But Zhu Youzhen also knows Hao Yongzhong very well. Although he won the three armies, he was also like a blazing fire, and sometimes he was not calm enough. If he encounters the Houjin army on the way, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight on impulse, and it will delay the big event. And Hao Yongzhong has always only listened to himself, and no matter who the others are, they don't care. After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen still decided to go to Dagu with Hao Yongzhong, although there are some risks, but this risk must be taken.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen would never tell Anna these inside information, so he used "The Art of War" to perfunctory her. Unexpectedly, Anna guessed his intentions, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty the Emperor, since our country and your country are friends, shouldn't friends treat each other with sincerity?" Don't look at me as a 'woman', but I have also received military training, so I can help Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, as long as your aunt's 'milk' and 'milk' don't add 'chaos', you will already burn high incense.

The brigade galloped forward for dozens of miles, and Hao Yongzhong suddenly flew and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a small force of Tartars ahead!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked for details. Hao Yongzhong said angrily: "There is a small village called Xinglongzhuang five miles ahead, and the last general also learned from the people who escaped from Xinglongzhuang. It is said that there are about twenty or thirty people in this Tartar army, and after breaking into the village, they burned, killed, and looted, and now they are 'raping' silver, 'women', and 'women' in the village! ”

Zhu You was furious when he heard the report, so angry that the green tendons on the temples were beating suddenly, and the two beautiful 'women' beside him also changed their colors together. Hao Yongzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Holy Lord, the last general will go and destroy them!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time with a blue face, and finally squeezed out two words with difficulty: "No!" ”

When Hao Yongzhong heard this, he was anxious, and argued with a red face and a thick neck: "But the Tartars are doing those things that are not as good as pigs and dogs, how can the last general sit idly by!" …”

"Shut up!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly said angrily, "Do you think I don't want to break them into pieces!" But the Tartars are all cavalry, and so many of us will be discovered by them; As long as someone escapes and reports to the main Tartar forces in Jizhou, maybe they will come and surround us, and we will not be able to transport firearms! Isn't it clear which is more important than the other, you, who are a general? ”

Hao Yongzhong suddenly woke up, and when he was shocked, he broke out in a cold sweat, and snorted: "The last general is reckless, and he almost delays the great event of the saint!" Why don't the centaurs bypass the village from the south? ”

Reason told Zhu Youzhen that it should be like this, but he couldn't open this mouth anyway! At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was so depressed that his chest was about to burst, he, the emperor, didn't know how to face those people who were tortured and humiliated!

When she was in a dilemma, Anna suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have a way not to 'reveal' our whereabouts, but also to completely destroy this enemy army!" ”

"What's the solution?" Zhu Youzhen asked suspiciously.

Anna didn't answer, slamming her mount's belly with the spur on the heel of her boot. The tall steed was in pain and galloped forward!
