Chapter 417: The Mobilization of the Qin Army

"The situation in Shandong is really exciting, I expected this group of people, not to go directly to the hinterland of the official army, in the past, Hebei Yuan Shao fraudulently claimed 700,000 people, and governed the land of four states to the south, but lost the black nest and was defeated without a fight, and now the Qingzhou Mansion is empty, Kong Youde took advantage of the weakness to enter, and the Ming Dynasty is over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In the palace of King Qin in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Zhang Tinggong, who had just met Li Jing from Datong City to Taiyuan, sighed, after all, he had been a member of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and once he saw the collapse of the society, how could he have a good taste in his heart.

"The defeat of the Ming court, the defeat in the civil and military disputes, the weight of taxes, the disadvantages of military households, and the southern soldiers can not be transferred north, the southern taxes cannot be transported north, the world is so big, there is no available army, the so-called 200,000 Beijing battalions, selected only 10,000 people to go into battle, the rest are all face-to-face, and Anneng is undefeated?" Li Jing said softly, and looked at Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong appointed by the imperial court.

"King Qin decisively hit the nail on the head, when my father was the governor of Beijing, he had already said that everything was bright on the outside, but in fact it was a touch of collapse, the Ming court raised the so-called 200,000 horses, but it was just a fool on the account books, when I was the deputy general of the Beijing camp, I was in charge of 7,500 soldiers and horses, but in fact it was only a little over a thousand, and most of them were old and weak without the power of chickens."

Since Wang Pu is ready to surrender, he naturally knows everything and says everything, and he has leaked all the shortcomings of the entire Beijing camp with one mouth, and what others have heard in their hearts is like a thunderbolt hitting the side, all of them are dizzy and can't believe it, this is the so-called forbidden army of the central Ming Dynasty? If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Li Jing has the strength and opportunity to win the world today?

"Moreover, in the Beijing camp, there are all those who have never seen blood, have not been in battle, and the soldiers and ruffians who have not been in battle, and it is enough to collect a city gate tower on weekdays, if you encounter our Qin army, such as the tiger and wolf division, I am afraid that a drum can break the city, if the king of Qin is interested, you can send a general, command an elite army of soldiers and horses, go to Guangchang through Yizhou, and go straight to the Beijing division, then the world can be determined." Wang Pucai didn't care about so much, he said it anyway, and he simply said it happily, and he couldn't wait to persuade Li Jing to go straight to Beijing.

Because from here, to Guangchang Yizhou, you can go directly to Tongzhou, through Tongzhou is the south gate of the Beijing Division, by the way also cut off the road to Henan and Shandong Ming army to return to help, at present, the strength of the two armies and two brigades assembled in Datong Town is enough to contain the rescue of the Xuanhua army, and the two armies in Zezhou can also quickly attack Kaifeng,

And Kong Youde in Shandong is enough to control the situation, that is to say, at this time, if the Qin army can attack the Beijing division with tens of thousands of main forces, then it only needs to face the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, if Wang Pu personally lobbied the generals he made friends in the Beijing camp, if they can get Li Jing's permission for them to keep their original titles and wealth, then in front of the powerful Qin army.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, even the elite reinforcements outside the Shanhai Pass can't wait, it will fall, and then take the emperor, and it is not impossible to order the ministers with the Son of Heaven, anyway, as long as the Qin army firmly holds the northwest and occupies Henan, it will be able to block all the Ming troops who want to rescue the Beijing Division, besides, if the Ming Court on the nine sides is lost, is there any elite?

"It's not impossible to go to Tongzhou to attack the Beijing Division, now the entire Yizhou, Huaiqing, and Henan Mansion are in our hands, but Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses and Ma Shiying's army are pinned down in the south and north, if we don't free up our hands to eliminate these two soldiers and horses as soon as possible, if we delay for a long time under the Jingshi City, we may not be able to take the Jingshi in one fell swoop." Li Denggao planned the money, food, and time needed for the army to go out, and suddenly felt that it was not very reliable.

After all, tens of thousands of elites are hoarded thousands of miles away from Shanxi, first, the army goes out, it is inevitable that the morale will be damaged, and it is far away from Shanxi to fight, and the logistics may not be able to support it, and the grain road in the rear may not be able to guarantee absolute safety, don't look at the current Qin army has 300,000 people, but in Xuanhua there must be soldiers and horses to coerce or even fight at the same time, and in Henan to deal with Lu Xiangsheng.

In Sichuan, the Fifth Army, which was advancing at the same time, was still on the way to attack Chengdu, and the First Army had to guard against Huguang's troops and horses going north, and the garrisons of Shaanxi and Shanxi had to pacify the localities.

"Yes, we have the advantage now, and we can take over the world by just fighting steadily, so why rush into the army?" Zhang Erma and Chen Da, who were called back from the front line of Beizhili, were also a little surprised, the current Qin army, with a deep heritage, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass, only need to advance slowly, first take Xuanhua Town, can completely sweep away the threat on the northern front, then the Great Wall to establish a defense line to start Xuanhua, west to Ningxia, it will completely isolate the threat from the Outer Mongolians.

And on the southern front, as long as Sichuan is taken and Henan is captured, it will completely close the passage for the Ming army to mobilize troops, horses, grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River, and now Kong Youde has almost occupied Shandong, why not let him go north directly to attack the Beijing division, and fight to the death with the Guanning army?

At that time, the Guanning army in Liaodong, the Mongolian Tatars and Houjin soldiers outside the Saiwai, Lu Xiangsheng in Henan, Kong Youde in Shandong and the landlords who hate us in the Jiangnan region, will attack it in groups, don't think that the Qin army can sweep the world, if you fight alone, these horses are not our opponents, but together, the Qin army is afraid that it will suffer on all fronts."

After analyzing the current situation, Li Jing categorically rejected this risky way of playing, because he had to wait, and there was enough time to wait, as long as the situation in Shandong changed completely, the main energy of the Ming court must go to fight Kong Youde, and the main force of the Guanning army, whether it was to wait and see, or to go south to quell the rebellion, would be contained.

"Therefore, in terms of North Zhili, to Yizhou, don't continue to move eastward, the army in Henan, at the same time, we must maintain restraint, don't continue to fight with Lu Xiangsheng, we must quickly disengage, in the direction of Xuanhuafu, repel the attack of the Ming army, eliminate some Mongolian Tartars, don't wipe out the main force of the Ming army, otherwise, if you lose these two armies, Kong Youde will no longer have a counterbalance, I want the Ming court to quickly feel the threat from Kong Youde, and use the main force to deal with him."

Li Jingcai was unwilling to ignite the fire at the last moment, he arranged the dark line in the Liukou army, and was also ready to encourage Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to continue to lead the troops south, to accept the so-called Caoyun army, sweeping the landlord armament in the south of the Yangtze River.

"But His Royal Highness the King of Qin, now in Datong, the offensive of tens of thousands of Mongolian Tatar cavalry is pinned down in the border area and dare not continue to go south, if we want to eat them, we must transfer the main cavalry to the north, in this way, Lu Xiangsheng has no scruples, and will quickly go east to Shandong, if Kong Youde happens to be still attacking the Ming army in the Denglai territory, and the back is attacked by Lu Xiangsheng's main force, then what should be done?" Li Fugui has already set up the Tuntian Battalion of Huaiqing Mansion in Henan Prefecture, and has also arranged manpower to form the Tuntian Battalion in Yizhou, so he has a good understanding of the situation on the front line.

Now in the direction of Henan, the main force of the 30,000-strong Ming Army is pinned down by the main forces of the Third and Fourth Armies, neither fighting nor retreating, but if according to Li Jing's order, the cavalry will not continue to advance eastward, and the cavalry will be transferred north, and at the same time, the main cavalry will be transferred northward in the direction of Yizhou, then the cavalry that is preparing to attack Dezhou to block Kong Youde's northward movement will not be able to get rapid support.

"It is precisely because there is no news about the situation in Shandong that we must act quickly and strive to completely solve the threat of the Mongolian Tatars on the front line of Xuanhua in the north before Shandong divides the victory or defeat, so that we can quickly grasp the absolute initiative, and at the same time give me the first cavalry brigade stationed in Yulin to quickly attack, defeat the Mongolian cavalry on the periphery of Datong, and then enter the pass from near Xuanhua Wanquanwei to flank the Mongolian Tatars." What Li Jing wants is to win quickly, after all, don't look at the Mongolian cavalry jumping in a panic now, but as long as the Qin army moves north with three or four cavalry brigades of the main force, when both the number and equipment are superior, the Mongols are bound to be unable to bear it.

"Respect the decree of the King of Qin~!" Liang Sijiu has no objection to this at all, anyway, the four brigades of the Second Cavalry Army are assembled, and there are two and a half cavalry battalions of the Shenwu Army and the Tiger Wing Army, which have 24,000 men and horses together, and are supported by nearly 50,000 foot soldiers, it is not too easy to fight the Mongols, this is the best time to take credit, if a large number of military horses can be captured, then the phenomenon of the lack of horses in the Qin army can be quickly solved, and the surplus military horses can also form more cavalry battalions, who will object to this kind of thing?!

"It was decided that except for a cavalry brigade used in the direction of Dezhou, all the rest would go north, but I estimate that this cavalry brigade that has entered Henan will not be able to join the battle for the time being, so I will first transfer this brigade to Yizhou and take over the task of the fifth brigade, because the situation out of Dezhou is that Kong Youde should quickly occupy Shandong and then go north, but now there has been no news, and our plan must also change, and we must not rigidly implement it all the time."

Li Jing is also waiting, because he doesn't know whether Kong Youde has won in Shandong, and after winning, whether his strength can quickly occupy Shandong, and whether Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can grow rapidly, these are all things he needs to consider holistically, not to say that the Qin army will completely eliminate the two armies of Henan and Xuanhua, because in this case, the Qin army will meet Kong Youde first!
