Internal strife exists everywhere, as big as the Ming court and the Qin army want to fight, the Qin army's internal Shen Cewei and Tian Cewei have to fight, and the two commanders within the Shen Cewei have to fight with Zhiqian Rufang and Cai Xiwen, not fighting means giving up the future, giving up life, once the struggle starts, any loser will end up extremely miserable.

And the same is true of the Ming army, they not only have to fight with their own people, but also with the Mongols, but this time, when they received the news from the Datong secret report, they had to stop fighting, because the large-scale cavalry of the Ming army was contained at the junction of Xuanhua Town and Datong Town, and the foot soldiers of the Qin army were pinned down with cavalry, which was also a spectacle in the history of war, but who made the Ming army's combat effectiveness not work, most of the cavalry were generals and commanders, and their combat effectiveness was okay, if they sent foot soldiers up, It's hard to figure out that it is the Qin army that is now invading Xuanhua in the north on a large scale.

"My lord, 50,000 stone of military rations can support the needs of 100,000 troops for 20 days, and the Qin army's large-scale transfer of grain and grass to the front line is probably a harbinger of preparing for a large-scale invasion." Wan Quanwei's commander has changed a few times, anyway, during the Chongzhen period, these bandits and foreign invaders invaded the place, the generals probably didn't stay long, if they won the battle, they would be promoted, and if they lost, they would go to work, and this Mao Tianbao was already the third Wan Quanwei commander within two years.

"Yes, now they only have ten battalion heads on the front line, and there are only more than 20,000 soldiers, so much grain and grass are sent up, it seems that the increase in troops from Taiyuan Mansion to the Qin army is about to arrive, and these 20,000 people will press my 140,000 troops in Xuanhua Town, if there are another 20,000, I am afraid that Xuanhua Town will not be able to keep it." The imperial history of the capital, the military affairs of the governor Xuanfu and other places and the management of grain and grass, referred to as the governor of Xuanfu, Ma Shiying, has been almost gray since he sent troops.

Without him, don't look at the so-called 140,000 army, in fact, in this place of Xuanfu, you can't even find 140,000 young people on the register, let alone the so-called 140,000 army, and the 70,000 military horses and 600 artillery pieces on the account book are even more nonsense.

Let's take the command of Mao Tianbao, the commander of Wan Quanwei, there are 5,600 people on the register, but except for the cavalry family members who have less than 100 people in his own house, the rest are five or six hundred old, weak, sick and disabled, Wanquan three guards, the total strength is put together, there are only 300 cavalry, 1,500 foot soldiers, that's all, it is estimated that it is barely enough to temporarily recruit people from the station.

Of course, according to Ma Tianbao, because there are many cities and fortresses garrisoned by Wanquanwei, the generals are scattered in various places, and they can't be summoned for a while, not to mention that the rear still has to be defended, otherwise what if the Mongolian Tartars suddenly make a mess.

"My lord, why don't you hurry up and ask the court for help, otherwise we people really don't have enough for the Qin army to eat." Ma Tianbao has no scruples anyway, don't look at the current six guards hoarded in Xuanhua, but the total number of troops is less than 10,000, this is still a new batch of people recruited with military funds donated by businessmen outside Zhangjiakou, otherwise there are 5,000 people who can move?

"Asking for help? You come to tell the official that the 140,000 troops in Xuanhua Town are barely fighting the 20,000 Qin army, what face does the official have to ask for help from the imperial court? As soon as he heard this, Ma Shiying suddenly became angry, pointing at Ma Tianbao who was about to go crazy, the sky was pitiful, the six guards and the generals who were guarding the defense line of the Great Wall had scraped together 5,000 people to fight, except for those family troops, the others were not even enough for a battalion of the Qin army to fight, what kind of face is this, and it has reached the point of eight or nine out of ten to eat empty salaries together?

"How can there be an army of 140,000, Lord Futai, to this day, we are also grasshoppers on a rope, I will also hand it over to you, in addition to the 600 people brought out, there are still 400 generals left behind by our Wanquan Central Guard, this is the whole force, no matter how much one person can't pull it out." Ma Tianbao is also a dead pig now, and he is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, Ma Shiying has already gotten on the thief ship, and he can't get off no matter what.

"You're shameless!" Ma Shiying is also a civilian official, in the past, he was the deputy envoy of Yanghe Bingbei Dao, no matter what, there are still 3,000 people under his command, but now when I look at the boundary of Xuanfu, it is really a despair, is there a Ming army that can fight?

"Lord Futai, what you said, haven't we come here for so many years? Who told the money and grain allocated by the imperial court every year to go to Liaodong? In the territory of Xuanfu, we have to pay food and salary every year, just last year, a total of 147,000 people and horses, each person paid 12 stone of grain tax, more than 1 million, and the local military and civilian consumption, in fact, 400,000 stone of grain, so much grain and grass were handed over, and there were no less than 100,000 military households who fled, and the land was barren, and only the displaced people were sent to farm, how could they have spare strength to fight. ”

Seeing Ma Shiying angry, the security guard Zhizhou under his command could only come up to answer the question, after all, after eating empty food and paying taxes, the remaining grain is barely enough to feed 18,000 people, and any more will be blind, if it is not for the merchants outside Zhangjiakou who are willing to spend military expenses, they will not even be able to assemble 10,000 people, besides, if they can go to the border to hang around, then it is worthy of the imperial court!

"Tell me the truth, how many men do we have?" After Ma Shiying heard this, after looking at the faces of all the commanders and the general soldiers of the Xuanfu, he suddenly understood that the whole Xuanfu, including the predecessor Shen Qi, also knew that he was confused.

"In the west, with the Mongols, there are about 1,500 cavalry, this is the main barracks under the command of the Xuanfu General Army, and it is barely alive to go into battle, thirty miles away, there are 1,600 people and horses in the second battalion of the Strange Soldiers, which is also under the command of the Xuanfu General Army, as for our way, there are only 6,000 elite 4,000 auxiliaries, and another 7,000 people, as the main force, but to attack the Qin army, I am afraid that the strength will not be enough." Commander Huai Anwei doesn't have anything to think about now, anyway, if you count it all, it's only in the early 20,000s.

As for the Huailai army in charge of containment in the east, to put it bluntly, it is a number, and it will be up to the sky if there are 5,000 men and horses, but unfortunately the court does not know that Xuanfu only has this little bit of soldiers and horses, if they knew, maybe they should be on the ground now.

"20,000 horses are all the soldiers and horses in my Xuanfu Town?" Ma Shiying really doesn't believe that there are only 20,000 people in this huge Xuanfu, an important town for hundreds of years? How did you get fooled around in the past?

"That's not it, the six guards and horses are tied together, if you give up all the garrisoned fortresses and cities, get together, and send out another 20,000 people, it's just that the area where we are stationed is too large, and it is on the edge of the Great Wall, if all the defenses are withdrawn, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to explain it." Seeing that Ma Shiying was slightly relieved, the commander of the Longmen guard suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't ask for the crime.

"God is pitiful, I have reached such a point?" Ma Shiying was unstable, did not stand, directly sat on the chair and sighed, and could no longer bring up any thoughts of going south to quell the rebellion and establish immortal achievements, after all, there are more than 1,000 soldiers, and he himself led the 600 marches of the governor's standard battalion to be mighty.

Now when these numbers are reported, they are immediately stupid, Xuanfu Town, with a total of 40,000 people, is dealing with the Qin army with 300,000 military horses? Isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?

"My lord, don't blame the last general for speaking straightforwardly, even if all the elites of Jiliao Town are gathered, don't think about recovering Datong, that is, the princes in the court don't know, otherwise they should be ready to mobilize the main force of the Beijing camp to quell the rebellion at this moment, but they still have more than 200,000 horses, and after two years of fighting, maybe they will be lucky, and they will pacify the Li thief?" Wan Quanwei commanded Ma Tianbao to mutter, anyway, the matter is now, Ma Shiying has to follow, and if he doesn't obey, if he doesn't stand with them, he doesn't even want the Qin army to fight, they will falsely report their achievements and make the court lose a governor.

"It seems that you have also made up your minds, and you know that I am on the same line as you, but why didn't you say it earlier? I said it a long time ago, and the official didn't dare to accept the holy decree. Ma Shiying looked at these commanders and commanders who were secretly allied with, and suddenly said speechlessly, even if he had known, he would not have played the court, after all, the offended people were not one or two, but a whole.

"Do we dare to say it? Anyway, the court doesn't care about our life or death, the military food and equipment allocated every year are all coping, we can barely guard the Xuanfu, even if we work hard for the court, besides, if we talk too much, the princes of the court are also disgusted, and they won't give one more, so why should we be disgusted. "Yao Shengxian, the governor of Baoan Prefecture, pouted, he spent eleven years to achieve this position from the magistrate of Xuanfu, if he hadn't gone to Zhizhou to call the Jurchen Tartars to death, he might not have been able to do it.

"Annoying? Hmph~ha~ The princes of the court, what an eye-opener! If they had been asked to come here to have a look, I am afraid that they would have changed their doors a long time ago. As the saying goes, heart failure is better than death, Ma Shiying's expectations for the Ming Dynasty for many years have come to naught, and he really can't accept it in his heart, but even if it is difficult, he has to make the last desperate fight.

"The Xuanfu General Commander has transferred a battalion of 1,500 cavalry to follow the Mongolian army south to plunder this batch of grain and grass, otherwise let the Qin army put this batch of grain in place, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it anymore." Wang Kun, the eunuch guarding Xuanfu, was even more helpless, if he wanted to change it to a peaceful year, he had no problem fishing in this position, but at this fateful juncture, he had to have a life flower if he took the silver, and he couldn't escape death.

"I'm afraid that the Mongolian Tatars won't agree." Ma Shiying was embarrassed, and they received the news from the carrier pigeons, and the Mongolian Tartars on the west road also received it, but he couldn't stand it and had no right to mobilize these soldiers and horses! (To be continued.) )
