(Gentlemen, the pronunciation of Wang Dou is the fight of struggle, not the fight of a bucket of rice.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info returned to the south to the traveler brother, Wang Dou's range of activities is mostly in the north, and he has little intersection with the white pole soldiers and Qin Liangyu, so there is no relevant plot in the book. ）

On the afternoon of 15 April, the entire Jingbian Army arrived at Juyong Pass.

In fact, the cavalry of all armies arrived at Guancheng as early as half a day ago, and the night guards of the sentry camp arrived even yesterday. And as early as the time of mobilization, they went out to Xuanfu Town to investigate, and at this time, most of them came out together, and they were full of firepower.

The rest of the infantry and baggage, because most of the artillery baggage was transported to Juyong Pass in advance, they marched all the way, and were taken care of all the way to eat, drink and sleep all the way, and they could concentrate on hurrying. Therefore, on the afternoon of the 15th, 230,000 people, regardless of cavalry, artillery, arrows, etc., all arrived at Juyong Pass.

Like Shanhaiguan, Juyong Pass is actually a systematic defense project, and the whole pass is built on the ditch, with a total of four passes. The northernmost is Badaling Pass, also known as Beikou. Then some south is Shangguan. Then there is Juyong Pass Pass, and finally Nankou Pass.

From north to south, the four passes are lined up in a large canyon, one or twenty miles apart from each other.

Juyongguan Guancheng is built in the middle of this valley that is nearly 40 miles long, guarding the north to enter the gate of the Beijing Division, and there is the momentum of "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not opened". In particular, the mountains on both sides are majestic, the green peaks overlap, accompanied by clear flowers and trees, it is known as one of the eight views of Yanjing, and is called "Juyong Stacked Cui".

Juyong Guancheng has two gates in the north and south, all have the urn city, the whole city is elliptical and closed, and the circumference is about eight miles. Half of the city lies on the Golden Cabinet Mountain in the west, and the other part winds around the Cuiping Mountain in the east, and then the north and south gates are located on the flat platform in the valley, and the two gates are about two miles apart.

In addition, there are nearly 30 buildings such as the attached enemy platform, the corner tower of the east and west mountains, the sluice tower of the water gate, the shop house, the fort, the beacon tower, etc., and there are two holes in the north and south water gates in the Yong'an River valley on the east side of the city.

Wang Dou's later generations once took a plane to pass by, and at that time all he could see was the vast and continuous mountains, and then he saw a canyon cutting through the mountains, which was like a ghostly workmanship. This canyon is 100 miles away from the capital, so it is called Juyongsai or the military capital, which is the Great Wall of Juyongguan at this time.

It is also because of the place where the throat is guarded, and the situation in Juyongguan is dangerous, it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Of course, even if the world is dangerous, there must be a capable person to defend, in history Li Zicheng approached Juyong Pass, the guard Tang Tong, the eunuch Du Zhizhi and others surrendered, and the governor He Qian fled with a false death. Such a majestic pass, without much effort, fell into the hands of Li Zicheng.

After the Jingbian army arrived at Juyong Pass, it went to Badaling in the north and Nankou Pass in the south, and was stationed along the valley of the Guangou River, and the military horses stretched for dozens of miles.

Wang Dou and others went straight into Guancheng, Juyong Guancheng is similar to a military town, there are granaries, armories, government offices, Confucianism, martial arts arenas and other buildings, the scale is not small. There are also palaces, dense archways, numerous temples, etc., the inner city god temple, Guanwang temple, Guandi temple is even more indispensable.

When Wang Dou and others entered from the north gate of the urn city, they saw that there was a Zhenwu temple in the urn city, and there was a rebuilt stele, "Juyongguan rebuilt the Zhenwu Temple stele".

"I went to my Taizu Emperor Gao Long Fei Huaidian, fought to save the Central Plains, expelled a hundred years, restored the Gangchang of all generations, and ordered the general Wei Guogong Xu Da to march north, and there were many real martial arts to help...... In order to set up a temple, then the shrine of God in the north urn city of the important land, the spirit should be incense, protect the protection, the north town desert through the Xuanda, in order to control the three sides, the south Gongjing Shiyi Emperor Mausoleum, and lay the country. ”

Juyongguan has built a pass defense in all dynasties, but now Guancheng is planned and created by the general Xu Da and the deputy general Chang Yuchun in the first year of Hongwu. Then later generations continued to renovate, but this tablet was rebuilt during the Wanli period.

Wang Dou and others put on incense, reminisced about the sages, and then went into the city to cruise, and went up the city wall to the Golden Cabinet Mountain and Cuiping Mountain. The city walls are all made of granite and thick city bricks, some stone strips even weigh more than a ton, and the joints are filled with mortar, which is integrated and solid.

Wang Dou stood on the enemy platform of the Golden Cabinet Mountain and looked out, the willow smoke was weaving green, the blue waves were surging, and the ditch was vivid. At this time, flags were everywhere at the waterside of the river valley, and the dense camp tents meandered southward, disappearing on the other side of the mountain, and spreading to the Nankou Pass more than ten miles away.

People shouted horses, the voices of Jin Ge resonated, and then looked at the mottled cornerstone of the city in front of me, and the feeling of time and history increased sharply. This war is about the rise and fall of history, I wonder how future generations will evaluate this war? Will a commemorative stone monument be erected at the place where you stand and become a famous tourist attraction?

The crown prince and the civil officials who followed him were arranged to rest in the palace and the government office and Confucianism, and Wang Dou set the south gate tower of Juyong Guancheng as the line and summoned the officials to discuss here.

In fact, in addition to the government office, the city tower is not far from the city wall, there is also a household Cao Xing office, a wide and spacious courtyard, red pillars and green tiles wide eaves corridor, the scale is not small, but Wang Dou prefers to stay in the city tower, he likes the feeling of climbing high and looking far away.

On the second floor of the city tower, a huge battle map was hung out, and a detailed sand table of the Beijing division was launched, and the officers and generals, the generals of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes who came to participate in the war were densely surrounded in a large circle. There were also Wang Zheng, Wang Ying, Wang Xiong, Wang Hao, Zhong Yiyuan, Han Hou, Han Si, Wen Wentao, Gao Dexiang and other children standing on the sidelines to watch.

In this operation, the students of the military academy all went out to experience the military story on the spot, of course, they did not have the right to speak, but just stood aside and watched and felt it carefully.

"Our army has reached Juyong Pass, and the next step is to capture Changping and control Chaozong Bridge, Gonghua City, Anji Bridge, and ...... Barrier Ridge."

Chief of Staff Wen Fangliang pointed to the sand table and said, he said: "The Shahe River originates from the Guangou River, which is twenty miles away from Changping City. There is Gonghua City on the side, on Tuesday, there are four gates, known as the place where the emperor marched north and patrolled the tomb. Then the south five miles is the Nansha River, there is the Anji Bridge, which is also the stone arch bridge built in the orthodox years. ”

He said: "Anji Bridge is about ten miles south, that is, Bao'er Ridge, and there is Tangjialing paving. Historically, when the army went north, they were stationed in Tangjialing, such as Chengzu's expedition to Arutai and camping in Tangjialing. Yingzong's personal expedition to Warat was also stationed in Tangjialing. This is also the main place where our army's combat formation is located. ”

Wen Fangliang said: "Tangjialing shop is about ten miles south of the Qinghe store, and there is also a shop on it. Not far from the south of Qinghedian, there is also a stone arch bridge, named Guangji Bridge, about 30 steps long, and it is also the bridge that Jingshi must pass through to the northwest and the imperial tomb. This is the main place where the thieves are deployed to fight. ”

Wen Fangliang said: "Compared with Baoerling, it is more important to control Chaozong Bridge and Anji Bridge in advance, because it is related to the travel of my army, as well as drinking water. According to the collection of information from all sides, from Changping to the south, all the way to the end of Bao'erling, there are 23 large fort towns in the east, west, north and south, and there are 97 large-scale pools and wells in them. They are the willow pond and the Kunhua pond of Shi Kezhuang. The uncle's pool, the second master's pool, and the third master's pool. The ...... of Wangjiazhuang"

He came one by one, and the wells and pools of each village and fort were like a few treasures.

You Shiwei and the others stood aside, and everyone listened to it and admired it, this is the battle to fight.

Wang Dou also nodded, he could take into account all the details of the operational layout, and the staff department was really trained. In particular, they also take into account the meticulous water problem of the army, which is very rare, after all, this is not a trivial matter.

According to Wang Dou's knowledge, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the climate in Beijing was dry, the rain was scarce, and draft has always been a big problem.

According to historical estimates, the urban population of Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty was about 800,000 to 1 million, and there were more than 1,200 wells.

At that time, because there were many officials in the rich room of Jingshi, a huge water porter was born, most of whom were from Shanxi, and at this time, most of the Jingshi wells were public wells, and the residents were more free to draw. In the Qing Dynasty, each well was controlled by the Shandong fireman who accompanied the camp of the Eight Banners, and sold it for money according to the well, and counted it with a bamboo brand.

Generally, a load of water costs 80 yuan, which refers to sweet water, bitter water is halved, and a load of water in drought costs 160 yuan, and the bucket is still very small.

Therefore, it was very difficult to use water in Jingshi at that time, especially the water was sweet and bitter, and the bitter water could not be drunk, so it could only be washed.

And placed in the suburbs of the capital, people say that "twenty miles in the suburbs, there is no river irrigation", the moat water is filthy, can not be used at all, all edible water, Xu Yang to the earthen well.

However, in this part of North China, there are few rivers after all, and even if wells are drilled, there are many problems of bitter well water. Not only Gyeonggi, but also Shandong and Henan, are mostly bitter and salty wells, and those who drink for a long time will suffer from ruffians. That is, people become stupid and sick.

And the well water is quite good, the soil is thick and the water is deep in the north, the soil is thin and the stone is thick, it is very difficult to draw the well, the south of the Yangtze River excavates five feet to see the spring water, the north of the Huai River, it takes two or three zhang to dig the well at every turn. In those loess plateau areas, such as the southwest of Shanxi and the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi, groundwater is buried even deeper.

At the time, people said that "there is a plain in the north of Chang'an City, and the well is 50 zhang deep", "Bi Yuan, the well is 50 zhang deep", "Chengcheng, Shaanxi, the well is 30 zhang deep", "Wanquan County, Shanxi, the water well in the county is 890 zhang deep, and the shallow one is also 50 or 60 zhang. ”

Why are there so many beautiful women in Gangnam? It is only because of the water that Pu Songling told the story of Henan Yetao Town in the early Qing Dynasty. The shopkeeper's wife was in her twenties, but her face was as dirty as a ghost's drawing, and the mud on the back of her hand was an inch thick.

However, there is no water in the area, and the residents rely on rain to get by, and the water used is very expensive, and her husband is reluctant to spend this money. Or the guest spent two cents of silver to buy a basin of water, and after the shopkeeper washed her hands and face, her face was like a hibiscus, her arms were like lotus roots, and she was a beauty who did not wear light makeup.

If you don't wash your face and clean your body, no matter how beautiful you are, you will become ugly.

Therefore, in the North China Plain, near Gyeonggi, the well water is brackish, or there are no river springs, and the villages that cannot dig wells are mostly used to store rainwater for food. Generally, there will be one or two pools in each village to solve the daily water supply of people and animals.

In fact, even if there is a river near the village, the pool is also a necessary source of water for each village and fort, after all, it is too difficult to fetch water from the river. No matter how big the cost is, no matter how long it takes time, each village should also dig ponds and repair canals, accumulate rainwater in summer and autumn, sweep snow in winter and autumn, and store rainwater and spring water.

Some literati also like to store plum rainwater, prepare hundreds of large urns, burn them with coal after receiving water, seal the mouth of the urn tightly, take it can cook tea, can make wine, eat and drink for a year without worry. Residents of Jinan like to store snow water, which is also disinfected with charcoal fires for use in the coming year.

In short, at this time, all kinds of things in the north were extremely inconvenient and inconceivable for future generations who were accustomed to running water, but the army had to use water. Therefore, in addition to controlling the Sand River, the pools and wells of nearby villages are also under the consideration of the General Staff.

It is not easy for the villagers to store water, and how much compensation should be given must also be taken into account.

In fact, it is best to control Fuhai and Kunming Lake, the two lakes are wide enough for the army to use, but that side is a front reserved for thieves, but it cannot be lost because of a small one.

The General Staff arranged meticulous logistical problems, taking into account all aspects, which was enough to make the army invincible. There are also detailed personnel arrangements for the generals, such as who the thieves are and which armies. Who are the slaves and thieves, and which armies.

Who led the army to attack on the side, the arrangement of troops, the placement of equipment, etc., the plan layout was very large, and finally reported to Wang Dou for approval.

You Shiwei and the others stood aside, and they were very happy to see that their own people were also arranged in, but in the early stage, Changping, Chaozongqiao, Gonghua City, Baoerling and other places were ......

You Shi stood up fiercely and said to Wang Dou: "Marshal, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, leading the army to capture Changping City, so as to strengthen the momentum of our army!" ”

When he made this sound, he immediately shouted as if he had pierced a hornet's nest, and the generals of Shaanxi and Gansu, as well as those Mongols, shouted loudly, hoping to make meritorious contributions in battle.

They all said: "Marshal, the last general is also willing to go." ”

"Marshal, the last general is willing to go with Old General You."

"Marshal, give the last general this chance."

"Marshal, the last general will go and take Shunyi City."

"Marshal, the last general and his sons will definitely be able to take Gonghua City."

Among them, Chen Yongfu and Gao Jie shouted the loudest, obviously very eager to make meritorious contributions.

Everyone shouted, and many of them fought and almost scuffled.

Wang Dou looked at everyone, smiled and nodded, morale was commendable, this is a good thing.

He groaned slightly, it would be better to let them fight in advance, compared to the Jingbian Army, their military strength will not be too strong, but it will not be too weak. They are elite in the Ming army, so after the thieves face them, they can feel their toughness, and they will not have the powerlessness of using the mantis arm as a car.

In particular, it is indeed feasible for anyone to capture Changping City and let them fight.

Of course, those who belonged to the Mongols were excluded first, and Wang Dou mainly let them fight the Manchurians and the Mongols of the Eight Banners.

He looked at You Shiwei and said, "Okay, General You, General Chen, General Gao, you all go to war, and General You will be controlled by Old General You." ”

He took out an arrow and gave it to You Shiwei, and explained: "Although Changping City has arranged for our division to respond internally, it is best not to attack the city and lure the thieves out of the city to fight. After the thieves defeated Liu Zeqing, Qiu Lei and others, they drove them all the way to the direction of Jingshi. After the recovery of Changping City, soldiers and horses can be arranged in Baifuquan, Donglongshan, in the east of the city, to prevent thieves from coming from Shunyi and other places for reinforcements. If they come to help, they will also be defeated and driven in the direction of Jingshi, but they will not take the two cities of Shunyi and Huairou. ”

He pondered for a long time and said, "As for the captured thieves and soldiers, they are all at the disposal of the local people. ”

You Shiwei received the order loudly and took the order impassionedly, and Chen Yongfu, Gao Jie and others all showed joy on their faces.

Wang Dou also arranged for the Xuanwu Army's center, left, and right battalions to respond, and the Chinese army and the general of the middle battalion, Lei Xianbin, controlled it, and immediately launched various arrangements after the army took control of Changping City.

In the end, Wang Dou said to You Shiwei: "You and other soldiers and horses will all be concentrated at Nankou Pass today, and when the sky is bright tomorrow, they will attack immediately and seize Changping City!" ”

You Shi bowed to Wang Dou fiercely, he knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, the marshal will supervise the soldiers and horses to successfully capture Changping City." ”

Wang Dou picked up You Shiwei and said with a smile: "Ben Shuai is convinced of this. (To be continued.) )
