Chapter 498: Wartime Summary
"The detour into the customs is already under great pressure, if it doesn't work, what should I do?" Huang Taiji was the only one among the Jiannu nobles who did not want to think of a way out, his eyes were red and red, and he could only continue to sleepless.
The master does not sleep, and the defectors led by Fan Wencheng can only be enslaved and continue to stay up late.
In the early morning of the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Huang Taiji suddenly withdrew his troops to a distant part of the Beijing Division, cut down the surrounding trees, and set up camp.
And in the face of the strong opposition of Daizen Amin and other kings, he overrode public opinion, dug ditches like the Ming army, and made a long-term stubborn posture. This is inappropriate both in terms of the terrain and the main arms of the Eight Banners.
"I, Daikin, have never fallen to such a state since the founding of the country!" Amin was outraged.
Dai Shan also persuaded: "This is tantamount to falling into death!" Sweat! ”
Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "The Han family's art of war has clouds - put it to death and come back to life!" ”
Dai Shan said bitterly: "The Great Khan is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and he should also know about the loss of the Ma Tan Street Pavilion!" It is a helpless move to hold on to the city, because the city has all the belongings of the defenders, but those who lead the troops outside, how can they fall to death! ”
"Big brother, is it true that even you can't understand Ben Khan's painstaking efforts?"
There were only two people left, and in the face of Dai Shan's hard persuasion, Huang Taiji suddenly said.
Dai Shan was shocked and said tentatively: "The intention of the Great Khan is...... Lead the Ming army out of the hole and take the initiative to attack? ”
"The father Khan who gave birth to me, the one who knows me, the eldest brother!"
Huang Taiji smiled happily, but Dai Shan only felt creepy.
Huang Taiji's attitude towards the kings under his command is quietly changing, Amin, Azig, and Duoduo may feel that this should be a kind of happiness, but Dai Shan's heart is full of worries - Mang Gurtai is a lesson from the past.
"Has the Great Khan's heart to attack the Ming Kingdom begun to weaken?" He looked at the giant city that sat like a giant beast on the Yanjing Plain from afar, and thought, "But perhaps, the battle between the two countries has just begun!" ”
Jiannu's every move was under the control of Chongzhen, and after receiving the battle report, he discussed it openly in the big study as usual.
An official from the Donglin family immediately shouted: "That's still waiting to be done, quickly besiege it!" ”
Someone chimed in: "Yes, yes, I have millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and one person drowns the Jiannu dog with a mouthful of spit!" ”
"Li Biao, what are you doing with this military department book? Don't you transfer troops and send generals, and finish it in one battle? ”
His eyes gathered on Li Biao, the former neutral Qingliu was still as motionless as a mountain, got up and arched his hand towards his colleagues, and then said to Chong Zhenzuo: "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that this must be Huang Taiji's plan to lure the enemy!" ”
"What a trick to lure the enemy! This is our territory! ”
"yes, yes! Li Biao, are you willing to watch the land outside the city be ravaged by Jiannu? ”
Li Biao immediately squinted over and said, "Is that land the public land belonging to the people, or is it a farm for you?" ”
was shocked, and Li Biao suddenly became the target of attack by officials of the Donglin family.
"You!"
"Li Biao, what do you mean?"
"If you don't make it clear today, you won't want to leave here......"
However, Li Biao smiled, as if watching a group of clowns jumping off beams, and drank tea leisurely.
"Do you still have the heart for tea? Come to Zongdao! Where is the way to come? ”
"The old man is here! What's the point? ”
"What are you doing with this Ministry of Rites book?"
Lai Zongdao was surprised and said: "The Ministry of War dispatches troops, the Ministry of Engineering builds fortifications, the Ministry of Officials coordinates the responsibilities of officials in various ministries, the Ministry of Household coordinates grain, grass and silver, the Criminal Department is in charge of the criminal law and cracks down on those who neglect government and corruption, and our Ministry of Rites is responsible for the security of the people, which has been negotiated in advance under the auspices of His Royal Highness. ”
"This ...... You...... Didn't you and Li Biao always wear the same pants? ”
Lai Zongdao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, likes to drink a large bowl of tea, fills a full pot with a gourd, and always carries it with him, so as not to even take care of saliva when he is busy. Are you accusing me of fighting fiercely in the Ming Party? ”
"You...... Hugh is talking nonsense! In just two words, the few Donglin officials who jumped up and down suddenly died down.
Their eyes focused on Gao Panlong, but the latter was like an old monk, closing his eyes and saying nothing.
Yang He, the first assistant of the cabinet, really couldn't listen to the high-minded talk of his former classmates, nor could he stand the lazy behavior of the second assistant of the cabinet, and shouted angrily: "Enough! Jiannu entered the customs, and the harm was very deep, and anyone wanted to finish their work in one battle, and never suffer in the future! But who will lead the siege? Old man? Tall man? Your Highness? Or wait? ”
"This ......" Everyone was frightened, and they all focused their eyes on the regent Xinwang, who provoked the pillars of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the beginning of the meeting, Chongzhen has never said a word, quietly looking at the Donglin officials who are not doing anything, and making trouble without principle. Those who are really doing practical things, out of consideration for the overall situation, have never really intensified the contradictions.
In the end, who is the one who truly serves the country and the people, and who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact is only for their own selfish interests, or who puts private interests before official affairs, has gradually surfaced in this series of changes in the situation.
However, Daming is a country with sophisticated rules and regulations, and it is impossible for Chongzhen to be like Huang Taiji, looking for a reason at random, perhaps deliberately digging a pit for the reckless Gurtai to jump down, and then sweeping it clean from head to toe.
"Da Ming, the country will be ruled by law."
This is the most far-reaching promise Chongzhen made when accepting the joint consideration of Tianqi and Empress Dowager Liu.
This is difficult to do in the Ming Dynasty, where the rule of officials is becoming more and more corrupt, but Chongzhen is confident that he will set things right.
Chongzhen did not have a heart-wrenching mood to entangle this group of officials to attack each other at this time. He didn't have that spare time. Since the contradiction was caused by Huang Taiji, the spearhead was pointed at Jiannu.
With a hint of a smile, he slowly glanced at the audience and said, "Huang Taiji's intention is to pull our army over to fight. ”
Li Biao stood up and said: "Your Highness Shengming, the old minister also thinks so, Jiannu has lived in the mountains of Liaodong for a long time, although he has even connected dozens of cities in Liaodong, but he is still not good at attacking cities, but he is very good at field combat. If you abandon the reliance on the city wall and venture out of the city to fight the enemy, isn't it precisely because of your own shortcomings that you attack the enemy's strengths? Whew, ridiculous. ”
Li Biao said, and defiantly glanced at the Donglin officials who had attacked him just now.
Gao Panlong finally couldn't sit still, opened his eyes and coughed softly.
His clan brother Gao Fufeng was not qualified to sit down, so he came out at this time and said: "Lord Li's words are wrong! I am dignified and prosperous, so can I let Jiannu gallop back and forth in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but I don't intercept it? ”
Li Biao rolled his eyes as if he had met an idiot and said: "The old man is still the same sentence, the old man's military department is mostly generals who can resist Jiannu in the city, but there is only a lack of fierce generals who can fight in the field!" ”
After speaking, he suddenly took the tea gourd from the hand of Lai Zongdao next to him, poured half of the gourd like drinking, and suddenly sang: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the warriors are fighting in all directions......"
"Is this guy pretending to be stupid?"
"Yes, yes, I've never seen Han Gaozu's Great Wind Song tampered with like this......"
The officials of the Donglin family suddenly spoke out one after another, seemingly talking to themselves, but in fact they pointed the finger at him.
"Isn't Yuan Chonghuan nearby? Huang Taiji was the one he brought in Jingshi, and he should solve it! Someone finally put forward a substantive suggestion, but in Chongzhen's eyes, he still can't get rid of the suspicion of passing the buck.
It was Gao Fufeng who spoke, and Chongzhen glanced at him lightly, still denying it.
This is not a time for who is to take responsibility, but for those who must work together to overcome the difficulties
Li Biao stood in the position of the secretary of the military department, and said angrily: "Whether Huang Taiji attracted the Beijing division by Yuan Chonghuan, the old man doesn't know, but he knows that even if it is Yuan Chonghuan, he may not be able to beat Huang Taiji and his Eight Banners soldiers in the wild!" ”
"Li Biao, you are growing the morale of others and destroying your own prestige! Why can't Yuan Chonghuan beat Huang Taiji? ”
Gao Fufeng's halberd pointed angrily. Li Biao sneered: "Do you know what is the secret of Yuan Chonghuan's defense of Liaodong?" ”
Gao Fufeng said: "How don't you know? It's nothing more than 'fortified city, with cannons'. ”
"In that case, why do you want to be noisy? Could it be that you are a remnant of the eunuch faction, aiming to pull Yuan Chonghuan off the horse? ”
"You...... You husband, don't want to spew blood! Gao Fufeng was poor in words, and he was angry and ashamed.
Li Biao sneered: "If you Gao Fufeng is willing to throw a pen from Rong to imitate Ban Dingyuan, the old man will send you to the expedition, and he will also go to His Royal Highness and ask him to set up a general platform to encourage me to practice the general!" ”
"You...... This official is too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Gao Fufeng's heart suddenly sudden, he peeked at Chongzhen and was defeated.
Seeing this, Chongzhen secretly said: "What is the difference between today's Donglin and the eunuch sect in the past? This group of people who are very selfish and vainly try to control the government of the family and the country with a single academy should be fiercely suppressed in their proudest areas! ”
"Do any other officials want to have a discussion with Master Li Biao of the Ministry of War? Or someone who wants to lead an expedition? Chongzhen took the opportunity to say, and the tiger eyes swept over one after another, focusing on the officials who were talking about it just now.
However, even those who made eye contact with him quickly looked away with him full of anticipation and encouragement.
"The Ming Dynasty is in urgent need of a top-down revolution! Otherwise, even if they repelled Jiannu this time, they would eventually be weakened by their second and third invasions, until they collapsed with a bang!
After this battle, it is necessary to formulate the merits and demerits fairly and justly, and take the opportunity to let these bastards all get out.
As for the invading Jiannu, even if it can't be completely annihilated, it must be hurt and scared, so that it no longer has the courage to enter the customs! "Shigejin made up his mind.
The young man was full of energy, and he was always standing, his shoulders thin and straight, standing straight like a benchmark.
It's been about 20 days, and it's time to summarize the gains and losses before this battle.
