"Colonel, the situation is very critical now, and the villages around Tongzhou have been plundered by the Manchurians. Presumably, the Jurchens have succeeded in besieging Jingshi, and there is no need for us to continue waiting here. And His Highness is still in the capital of Daming, we must take His Highness out of danger. “

Just when Jingshi was besieged, Zhao Hongyu took the opportunity to provide loans to Zhu Shangwu, and began to plan immigration and sell arms, Zhao Hongyu was left in Tongzhou, and there was a heated discussion at this time.

Among them, most of the imperial soldiers thought that they should leave Tongzhou and immediately go to Beijing to rescue Zhao Hongyu, and could not let the crown prince stay in the city besieged by the Jurchen army.

However, there are also a small number of people who believe that it is not appropriate for them to leave Tongzhou and go to Beijing now.

Just like this colonel, he considered that although the Jurchens besieged the Jingshi, he thought that the Jurchens would not be able to break through the Jingshi.

In the end, the Jurchens will still be forced to retreat under the convergence of King Qin's troops, just like the historical development of another time and space.

After all, the Jurchens at this time did not have the strength to conquer the Beijing Division and occupy the Beijing Division at the same time.

It's okay to fight the autumn wind, but it's not very realistic to break through the Jingshi to defend to the end.

In this way, Zhao Hongyu, the crown prince trapped in the capital division, will not be in any danger.

They still have to stay here in Tongzhou.

Besides, it's not much use for them to go to Jingshi.

According to the intelligence of the defenders of Tongzhou, the Jurchen army was about 50,000 to 60,000 people.

And Zhao Hongyu's people left here in Tongzhou are only more than 2,000 people, and the sailors on the three battleships are also counted. ‘’

Although Kyushu could defeat a coalition of 150,000 with 10,000 men, it was based on having a large number of artillery pieces and a basic number of troops.

Now they don't have a lot of artillery, and they have very few troops.

In such a situation, it is simply impossible to do more with less.

It's not good. It is not impossible that their little men and horses will be wiped out.

Under these circumstances, it was not for nothing that the colonel did not agree to the proposal of his men.

In what position, what kind of things should be considered.

Even, you have to think farther and more than your subordinates.

The colonel shook his head and said, "No! We can't leave Tongzhou, now we don't have much advantage in terms of troops, if we leave Tongzhou, once we encounter the Jurchen cavalry. Then the consequences will be catastrophic for us. “

The imperial generals gathered around the colonel, after hearing this, put forward their suggestions again.

"Sir! There is nothing to be afraid of the Jurchens, their weapons are very primitive and backward, and our weapons are much more advanced than theirs. With such an advantage, we can defeat even their troops. ”

"Yes, yes, sir, we have no reason to be afraid of the Jurchens. What are they afraid of, and the Japanese people in Kyushu are also very powerful. But wasn't it still defeated by us in the end? “

"My lord, let's leave Tongzhou. The crown prince is very important to us in the Americas, but there must be no mistakes. ”

Seeing the crowd of subordinates around him, the colonel remained quite calm. I didn't make a decision as soon as my mind was hot, and I responded to this request of the big guy.

After all, his decision is simple, but it is at stake for many people's lives and futures.

It's not so easy to do.

"Everybody be quiet. Be quiet and listen to me. ”

The colonel raised his hand and pressed down on the man, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Wait until everyone is quiet. The colonel said to everyone very seriously and firmly: "I have made up my mind, we can't leave Tongzhou, and I don't think there will be any danger on Your Highness's side." Jingshi is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of defenses and soldiers is not comparable to other cities. The Jurchens killed all the way from Liaodong, wouldn't their rear be empty? “

Speaking of this, the colonel sneered.

"I don't think it's possible for the Jurchens to besiege the Jingshi for too long, because they don't have the strength to break through the Jingshi. It wouldn't be long before they left the outskirts of the capital. “

The colonel had already made some strategic deductions about this, and he and his staff agreed that the Jurchens besieging the Jingshi would take no more than ten days at most, and they would retreat.

The reason is very simple, they have not completely conquered the occupation on the Liaodong side.

In other words, Liaodong was actually still under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

This time, the reason why the Jurchens were able to pass through Liaodong and reach the capital was because of some complicated reasons.

Under such circumstances, weren't the Jurchens afraid?

In case the Ming army in Liaodong rises up once, then the Jurchens' fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses will all have to be handed over here.

No one dared to say that such a thing could not happen.

After all, war matters, it can change quickly.

Even Huang Taiji didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he wasn't worried at all.

The army of the Ming Dynasty is very corrupt and corrupt, but there are also troops and generals who dare to fight well.

If Da Ming suddenly broke out once, it would really be enough to make Huang Taiji and them panic.

For such a thing, Huang Taiji also had to guard against it.

Besides, the capital division of the Ming Dynasty was surrounded, and this matter was not a trivial matter.

It is related to the safety of the Son of Heaven, as well as the safety of the capital and the people, and the Ming army and generals around the Beijing Division must send a large army even if they are pretending.

Once these armies came to the periphery of the capital division, if the Jurchens retreated at that time, they would be counter-surrounded.

It was absolutely impossible for Huang Taiji to let such a thing happen.

Because once such a situation occurs, it will bring a great threat to the Jurchen army.

Especially at this time when Liaodong was not yet under the control of the Jurchens, Huang Taiji did not dare to take too many risks.

Although Liaodong is now said to have lost its elite, and those town generals and officers, one by one, in order to preserve their strength, they are not going out of their own territory and city, and let the Jurchen army of Huang Taiji stay in Liaodong to protect the retreat.

But Huang Taiji didn't dare to say that there would not be a stunned Qing who really went out of the city to fight.

If Liaodong's retreat is blocked, then the Jurchen army that entered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will face catastrophic consequences.

The colonel, and his staff analyzed this.

It is impossible for Huang Taiji to expend too many troops to attack the Jing Division.

At the same time, he did not dare to consume too many soldiers and horses in the siege battle of the Beijing Division.

Because there are many things that Huang Taiji thinks about.

Under these factors, it is impossible for the Jingshi to be breached.

Then, if the Jingshi is not broken, His Highness will not be in any danger.

Those of them who stayed in Tongzhou didn't need to venture to Jingshi.

Moreover, the Jurchens were all cavalry, and they were infantry.

Although it is a little ahead in terms of weapons, after all, it is a bit small in force and cannot give full play to the power of the musket.

And because of the strong mobility, once you encounter the Jurchen cavalry, the outcome of the battle is really hard to say.

The colonel told his subordinates his worries, as well as his own analysis and speculation about the situation of the war.

After listening to the colonel's words, all the officers fell silent.

The colonel's words were not unreasonable, and after listening to them, they could figure it out after a little pondering.

Right now, it's safest to stay here in Tongzhou.

There are 15,000 defenders of the Ming Dynasty in the Tongzhou Canal.

Although the Jurchen cavalry appeared on the periphery from time to time, they did not attack here.

It was just the killing and looting of the surrounding villages.

Obviously, the Jurchens did not want to attack a city with good defenses and a certain number of defenders, obviously not wanting to lose too many troops.

Judging from such a point, then for the Jingshi, the Jurchens will think that it will be like this.

"Colonel! I hope your judgment is correct, and I reserve my opinion. After all, you are the commander, and we still have to listen to your orders. However, I want you to keep control of the situation, and if the situation changes to the detriment of His Highness, then we will go to the rescue anyway. “

An officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel, after a moment of silence, finally spoke to the colonel.

Hearing this, the colonel glanced at the lieutenant colonel.

"Don't worry! The Jurchens wouldn't do that, and I have strong confidence to guarantee it. Of course, if the situation deteriorates, I will not fail to react. “

With that, the colonel glanced around at the officers.

"Well, then, let's all go back to the ship. In recent times, try not to get off the boat. Now on the periphery of Tongzhou, there are Manchurian cavalry haunting, and the ghost knows whether there will be Manchurian spies in Tongzhou City. ”

The officers nodded their heads and left the flagship.

When everyone had left, the adjutant standing behind the colonel whispered, "Sir, are we really going to do nothing?" In this way, I watched the Manchurians kill and loot in the surrounding villages. And we are indifferent? Although we are not people of the same time and space, after all, now we have come to this time and space, and there is also Yanhuang blood flowing in our bodies. ”

After listening to the adjutant's words, the colonel's teeth creaked.

"We can't be so reckless, we have to endure all this at this time. After His Highness gets out of Beijing, I think we will have the opportunity to go to Liaodong. In fact, His Royal Highness has always wanted to go to Liaodong and see the full range of soldiers. At that time, it is time for us to avenge the Ming people who died under the sword of the Manchurians. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and we can't mess up here.
