Chapter 0621 - Serving Life with Death

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded and sighed slightly, "Only five thousand people?" Five thousand is five thousand, and the soldiers are fine but not many! These 5,000 people are all pulled to Zhao Shujiao's Jimen camp, Zhao Shujiao, you transfer 1,000 new troops to Cao Wenzhao. ”

Zhao Shujiao has no opinion, although Cao Wenzhao is a little dissatisfied with the emperor's approach, but he doesn't dare to show it, if the emperor abandons it now, he will really not be treated anywhere!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen glanced at Cao Wenzhao's expression, and he was quite satisfied, at least much better than when Yuan Chenghuan begged for power from himself, "What?" Are you dissatisfied? ”

Cao Wenzhao was shocked, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The last general has no such meaning, but this Jiaoshan Great Wall connects Guanningjin and Jimen Daying, and between the important town of Zunhua, the geographical location is very important, only 1,000 people, and the last general is afraid that it will ruin the emperor's affairs." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen laughed, "You don't have to worry about this, I told you, I will directly give you a thousand new troops trained by Zhao Shujiao, and that is not for you, you also go to Jimen with your five thousand people to train, and these thousand people will be ruled by Lord Sun Zushou at the pass of the Great Wall of Jiaoshan!" By the way, Zhao Shujiao, is the old general Sun Zushou here? ”

Zhao Shujiao was stunned for a moment, didn't sue me? How do I bring it? "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, you didn't come, you didn't have a will, and the minister didn't let Sun Zushou follow."

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "It was I who was negligent and asked him to bring a thousand people to change guards with Cao Wenzhao!" After Cao Wenzhao's 5,000 people went to the Jimen camp with you, you should step up your training and first pick out those who have a strong style from among these 5,000 people. A thousand people who were able to give priority to joining the party were singled out. The remaining four thousand will be practiced again. I guess there will be a war soon, so I can't be negligent! ”

Zhao Shujiao and Cao Wenzhao nodded, and wrote down the emperor's words one by one, in fact, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen originally wanted Cao Wenzhao to take a thousand new troops to defend the pass of the Jiaoshan Great Wall, but after all, he was still not at ease, and transferred Cao Wenzhao to Zhao Shujiao's side! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still has his own set of methods for dispatching generals and officials!

He was a seasoned politician.

The emperor doesn't care what his subordinates think, he only needs to care about what he wants to do. This is the most important thing for an emperor!

After dealing with these military affairs, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen talked with Zhao Shujiao alone for a while, and exchanged views on the grasp of the entire battle situation. Both of them thought that Huang Taiji would take the lead in attacking the Chahar Department of Mongolia, after all, it was unrealistic to come from Guan Ningjin!

"I'm afraid that the area around Zunhua Jimen will become the main direction of Huang Taiji's attack, and I have the intention to withdraw the army to Beijing, but I can't do this, and I can't afford this infamy." Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said that Zhao Shujiao was a friend of the year. Actually, his age. It's about the same age as Zhao Shujiao.

Zhao Shujiao nodded, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister will serve his life with death!" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen also firmly determined that an important goal of his northern tour was to inspect Liaodong again, even if he no longer took their army, because he couldn't afford to raise so many people, in fact, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen wanted to seize the military power of Liaodong generals such as Zu Dashou, it was unrealistic!

Because of two things, he had to terminate this northern tour!

After staying at the pass of the Great Wall of Jiaoshan for three days, watching Cao Wenzhao and Sun Zushou's army complete the change of defense, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was originally going to tour Liaodong north according to the original plan! And let Man Gui come over and meet him in the area of the Daling River, if Li Liang of North Korea can come, it will be better! However, this qiē was disrupted by the battle report he received, so that the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen had to return to Beijing in advance!

Houjin trained 100,000 soldiers, built armor chariots, and wanted to send troops on the three roads of the Sancha River, cross Ningyuan to encircle Tun, and attack the mountains and seas, Shimen, etc. The Ministry of War replied to the border ministers to spy on various sides, fortify everywhere, and clear the field to hold on to it as a foolproof strategy. Emperor Chongzhen obeyed.

Houjin committed a yellow mud puddle. The chief soldier Zu Dashou struck Hezhi, cut one hundred and eighty ranks, and won one hundred and twenty horses and mules.

Huang Taiji sent Bel Azig and the upper reaches of the Laoha River to join forces with the Karaqin tribe ruled by Lin Dan Khan to attack Lin Dan Khan.

Huang Taiji personally led a large army to Qiuluoguoer, and banqueted the leaders of the Ao Han, Naiman, Khalkha, Zarut and Karaqin tribes under the control of the Chahar department. Lin Dan Khan's painstakingly gathered force was completely disintegrated, and he had to lead the remnants to Naturalization City to hold on. In this series of events, there is not the slightest shadow of the Ming court. Houjin had no worries, and the road to bypass the Shanhaiguan Pass and enter the hinterland of the Ming Empire was open.

Huang Taiji defeated Jinzhou and Ningyuan, so he changed his strategy and led an army of 100,000 to attack the Great Wall from the direction of Mongolia and fight until the city of Beijing.

When Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was still touring the north, Huang Taiji personally led an army of 100,000 troops to detour through the Horqin grassland with lightning speed, breaking through Da'ankou (now the north of Zunhua County, Hebei), Hongshankou (northeast of Zunhua) and Longjingguan (northwest of Qianxi County, Hebei) north of Zunhua, and surrounded the military town of Zunhua of the Ming Empire!

Zhao Shujiao, the commander of Jimen, heard the alarm, and immediately led his troops to rush to Zunhua to rescue, and fought a fierce battle with the Houjin army outside the city, which was the only force that dared and had time to come to the rescue.

Zhao Shujiao is a powerful general on the same level as Man Gui, but the troops he can command are only 3,000 people! Because he had just been dispatched by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen to send 1,000 people to the pass of the Great Wall of Jiaoshan! And Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was not worried about Cao Wenzhao's army, which had just thrown himself into his side, and temporarily on the way back to Beijing, he asked Cao Wenzhao's army to go to the Royal Forest Army camp on the outskirts of Beijing to accept Lu Xiangsheng's adaptation!

Zheng Yuelin looked at Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's worried look, and she was so distressed, "What's wrong?" Aren't they all deployed? Your Majesty, don't worry. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, "It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty doesn't have the strength!" Cao Wenzhao's army has just surrendered, and I don't worry about letting them fight, I'm afraid that they will defect! If this army had completed its reorganization, Zhao Shujiao would not have only 3,000 people to meet the old generals! I'm worried! ”

Zheng Yuelin was also curious, "Why didn't Lin Dan Khan's 20,000 troops hold three important passes?" Da'ankou, Hongshankou and Longjing Pass were all broken in just one day? There's something strange about this. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, he was still too whimsical, where was this broken in one day, and handed over the defense line to Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan must have fled west because he had preserved his strength and did not fight at all! That's what he guessed! (To be continued......)
