"The minister thinks that Huang Taiji will use Zunhua as a breakthrough." Li Xin pointed to the map and said in a deep voice, his face looked quite solemn, as soon as the emperor mentioned this, he looked at the map for a while, and immediately felt a little bad.

In March 1629, Huang Taiji decided to make the third expedition to Chaharindan Khan, and ordered the leaders of the Mongol tribes who had surrendered to lead the army to assemble, and in April, the chiefs of the tribes such as Korqin, Zalut, Balin, and Naiman led their troops to gather on the banks of the Xilamulun River, with a total strength of 100,000.

In late April, Huang Taiji led the army to cross the Xing'an Mountains, Lin Dan Khan led 100,000 troops to retreat while fighting, Huang Taiji soldiers pursued 41 days in three ways, stationed in Hohhot in late May, Lin Dan Khan led the remnants of the army to cross the Yellow River in the south, retreated to Guihua City, Huang Taiji stopped pursuing, since then, Huang Taiji unified the vast steppe, the Jin army bypassed the Shanhaiguan, and the road to attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty was open.

Huang Taiji defeated Lin Dan Khan, conquered the Mongolian tribes, and occupied the vast steppe, which required a certain amount of time to digest the occupied territory, and at the same time accumulated the energy to attack the Ming Dynasty, and military materials such as weapons, grain, and grass needed to be stored.

Zhu Jian and Song Xiance thought that Lin Dan Khan could at least hold out for a while longer, but they didn't expect to be defeated so quickly, during this period, he also issued an order to order Shanhaiguan, Zunhua and other Ming troops to strengthen their precautions and closely monitor every move of the Jin army, but the holy decree was issued, but it is difficult to say whether the generals stationed at the border pass took it seriously.

Zhu Jian also remembered this at the beginning, but there were too many things, and the people's livelihood problems alone had made him anxious, and this person was busy, so he forgot about it, and now he suddenly remembered it, and scared him into a cold sweat, he is now making up for it, but I don't know if it's too late, and now it's nearly October.

He is now very awake in his mind, and clearly remembers that the Jin army was raided on three roads in October, breaking through Da'ankou, Hongshankou and Longjing Pass north of Zunhua with lightning speed, and encircling the military town of Zunhua.

Zhao Shujiao is a brave general with the same name as Mangui, and it is also the only Ming army that dares to come to reinforce, but its subordinates are only 4,000 people, outnumbered, and died in battle, on the fourth day of November, the important town of Zunhua fell, and Wang Yuanya, the governor of Shuntian, and Zhu Guoyan, the chief officer of Jizhen Town, were killed, and the Beijing division was shaken.

Although it is not yet October, it is not many days, even if the three new armies of the Wolf Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the Phoenix Legion are in a hurry, it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up with Zunhua, what he can do is to send fast cavalry to Zunhua and other places to warn, and order the city guards to take strict precautions, and at the same time order the three new armies to be ready to go, weapons, ammunition, grain and grass must be prepared.

The Jin Army's Iron Cavalry is indeed very powerful, Zhu Jian doesn't want to spend tens of millions of dollars to build the three new armies to lose the battle, so he would rather be slow, but also let them bring enough ammunition and sufficient food and grass, even if they can't save Zunhua, at least they must block the Jin Army in the area of Jizhen, and they can't let the Jin Army's Iron Cavalry come to the city of Beijing, otherwise the impact will be too serious.

Generally speaking, moving these important military materials needs to go through N more procedures, and when the civil officials vote to pass, the daylilies are cold, fortunately, Zhu Jian has a small arsenal privately, and has accumulated a lot of ammunition, which is enough for the three new armies to support for a while, and Li Jingbai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is responsible for transportation, which is equivalent to him spending his own private money to take the lead, and smashing a lot of snowflake silver into the water, which makes him very painful, but helpless.

Fortunately, Li Jingbai is a faction of the imperial party, even if there is no legal procedure, he can use his power to oppress people, and transport military supplies out first, as for the saliva and scolding of the Donglin Party, I will bear it later, anyway, with the support of the Son of Heaven, he sits more firmly than anyone else.

Of course, the first use of the private small arsenal is urgent, and the final normal procedure still has to go through a bit before the empire's arsenal can be used, and now the situation is critical, the Son of Heaven This is a special treatment, however, he still has doubts in his heart.

"The Emperor's ......"

Li Jingbai exchanged glances with Wang Chengen and the others, and stopped talking, he and the others had exactly the same idea, there was no 800-mile urgent military intelligence report from the border pass, are you too nervous, Your Majesty?

"Prevention is better than prevention." Zhu Jian explained, he really wanted to knock a few times on the heads of Li Jingbai and others to make them sober, but he just thought about it, the reason for sending troops was a bit far-fetched, that is, Huang Taiji had been digesting the occupied territory for a while, and he had to make some preparations in advance, which is called prevention before it happens, understand?

Li Jingbai had nothing to say, just glanced at his son Li Xin, the sword has no eyes, son, be careful, the burden of our Li family is waiting for you to pick it, by the way, you haven't married a wife and had children, the Li family's incense can't be broken.

Li Xinhui smiled confidently, the Shenji battalion he trained with his own hands was no worse than Cao Bianjiao's wolf battalion, and the soldiers were high-spirited, and besides, although he was not as aggressive as Cao Bianjiao, he also wanted to make meritorious contributions, and his subordinates wanted to be promoted through meritorious service, not to mention that it was the duty of a soldier to protect the family and defend the country, and various advanced ideas and concepts that the Son of Heaven had lost had taken root in his mind.

The emergency small imperial party meeting ended soon, Cao Bianjiao grinned, strode out of the palace, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and now, the opportunity has finally come, don't slaughter the Jin army, I'm sorry for the emperor's favor and reuse.

The glamorous and moving Lu Hongniang walks of course not as tiger and dragon as Cao Bianjiao, but she is also heroic, and the thoughts in her heart are the same as Cao Bianjiao, the difference is that Cao Bianjiao is for military exploits, and she is doing her best to help the minister defend the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xin was also full of ambition, even if he commanded the new army that had never been on the battlefield, he was confident that he would be sure to fight this battle, and the three of them returned to the barracks, immediately beat the drum and opened the account, and announced that the whole army was fully equipped for battle.

In fact, the reorganization of armaments means that the soldiers organize their personal belongings, pack up the things and weapons and equipment they want to carry, and they can set off in half a day, and the rest of the time is basically waiting for the people of the Ministry of Industry to bring in ammunition, grain and grass, and distribute them to various units and individuals.

Lei Yin and Wang Chengen each went back to their own official offices, gathered all their henchmen, and repeatedly confessed, and all the Jinyi guards and Dongchang secret spies were dispatched and scattered in all corners of the Beijing Division, closely monitoring all movements in and out of the city.

During the preparation of the three new armies, Zhu Jian sent people to rush to Fujian quickly, and asked Song Xiance, the dog-headed military division, to hand over the affairs of the Sea Wolf Fleet to a more reliable person, and then rushed back.

If you receive the news of the Jin army's raid on Zunhua, you don't have to lead the army to reinforce, in addition to sticking to the Ningjinshan Customs and other dangerous passes, you can move appropriately and press Huang Taiji's lair, and at the same time order Mao Wenlong, who is stationed on Phi Island, to be more diligent and go to the hinterland of the Jin army to burn and loot, so that Huang Taiji can not attack the important town of Zunhua with peace of mind.

Different from the original history, the Liaodong Governor is not Yuan Chonghuan, but the scheming, known for his stability Hong Chengchou, Mao Wenlong stationed on Phi Island was not killed by Yuan Chonghuan, although this guy is arrogant and annoying, but the role can not be ignored, the Phi Island garrison is like a sharp knife, on the belly of the Jin Army, if Huang Taiji wants his hinterland not to be harassed by Mao Wenlong, he can leave an elite to prevent Mao Wenlong.

In the eyes of Jin Jun, Mao Wenlong is a complete big villain Da Jin Gen, who sneaks across the river to sneak attack, burn, kill and loot, so that they can't produce with peace of mind, can't invade the Daming border with peace of mind, and enter the Central Plains, so he naturally hates him to the bone, chops up and feeds the dog to relieve the hatred.

Huang Taiji didn't think about slaughtering Mao Wenlong, digging N back to the pit, but Mao Wenlong is like a hound with a keen sense of smell, cunning and big, you dig a pit in the west, he runs to the east or south to burn and kill and loot, you mobilize an army to set up an ambush, he hides in the nest and sleeps, you fall asleep, he kills coldly, you lead the army to cover and kill, he runs faster than a rabbit, and he tosses you so that you don't have a temper.

After Zhu Jian explained some important matters, he set off for the Phoenix Legion camp, and he had to tell Lu Hongniang alone for some words.
