"Hunting with me in Jingshi?"

"Haha, Li Zicheng is so angry."

"What kind of thing is he, and he is worthy of being a master of the Jing Hunter?"

Chongzhen saw Li Zicheng's edict almost at the same time, and was also angry after reading it.

Time goes back three years, Chongzhen may still be interested in Li Zicheng and the snake, but now the industrial development of the Ming Dynasty has begun to take shape, the new army has also become an army, and Guozijian can send 6,000 officers with a good military school education to the new army every year, so it is necessary to curry favor with the hypocrites at this time?

Now it's really tying up the pseudo-shun and Jiannu together, and it's not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, there is a limit to seizing the country between the pseudo-shun and the Jiannu, and they can't be together at all.

At this time, Xu Yingwei, Jiang Tianyi, Zheng Sen and other scholars had also finished reading the edict.

Li Zicheng's edict for capture is not long, and the words and sentences are also extremely simple and easy to understand, so Xu Yingwei and the others quickly read it.

"Pseudo-Shun actually sent troops?"

"yes, it's really the sun coming out in the west."

"However, in my opinion, the pseudo-Shunding is not well-intentioned."

"Needless to say, if the pseudo-shun is really kind, as early as the beginning of our Northern Expedition, we should have sent troops together, and at this time, we obviously wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and reap benefits."

"It's not just as simple as reaping benefits, Li Zicheng may have greater ambitions."

"Yes, this thief must want to take advantage of the defeat of our army and Jiannu to suddenly launch a surprise attack from behind, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

After a dozen scholars discussed, they guessed the intention of pseudo-shun.

Jiang Tianyi finally concluded: "However, if the 250,000 horse infantry army of the puppet Shun really appears outside Beijing, it is still a little tricky, and you have to sleep with one eye open at night." ”

"Indeed." Zheng Sen also said, "Since the defeat of the puppet Shun army in Yishi, its strength has been seriously weakened, but after several years of recuperation, it was able to fight back and forth with the main force of Jiannu personally commanded by Dolgon in Junzijin in Hetao, which shows that it still has a certain combat effectiveness, and we must not underestimate it." ”

"No one underestimates the pseudo-Shun army, but you don't have to scare yourself."

Chongzhen said: "The so-called 250,000 horse infantry army, it sounds scary, but it's useless, if it's really a simple competition in numbers, doesn't Jiannu also have more than 500,000 Lian Yong plus more than 200,000 Eight Banner Army?" The total number of troops in our Ming Dynasty plus the new army is close to one million, but these armies can only scare people. ”

"What the Holy One said is very true." Xu Yingwei said, "Now has entered the age of firearms, the number of troops is no longer the key factor that dominates the victory or defeat of the battlefield, whether the armor is excellent, whether the sword is sharp, whether the sword is sharp, the real decision is the number of firearms on both sides, is whether the armies on both sides have received good training, especially the training of line formations, in these two aspects my Ming army has a decisive advantage." ”

"So it's a good thing that the puppet Shunjun came to Beijing."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Save us from running twice." ”

"Ah......" The scholars present couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.

What does the saint mean by this, do you want to solve the problem of Jiannu and hypocrisy at one time?

That's too reckless, isn't it? It's already quite difficult to deal with Jiannu's family, plus the 250,000 horse infantry army of the pseudo-shun, is it really possible? Don't steal a handful of rice.

……

However, as the old saying goes, plans don't change as fast as they go.

Just when Li Zicheng was ambitiously preparing to hunt with Chongzhen in Jingshi and settle the battle in a battle, Sangar, who was a direct descendant of the Golden Family, made a fuss.

Until then, Sangar had been a puppet of Dashun.

What Dashun asked Sangar to do, Sangar had to do.

Dashun asked Sangar to issue a golden arrow order in the name of the Mongolian communist lord, calling on the Mongolian tribes to form a joint army to protect the Yellow Sect, and Sanggar honestly issued a golden arrow order.

But it was this Golden Arrow Order that made Sangar have a lot of thoughts.

After the Golden Arrow Order was issued, not only the Tumut and Chahar Mongol tribes responded, but even the Khalkha and Oirat Mongol tribes also gathered in Jingcong.

When Sangar saw this posture, he was a little unhappy.

I think Lao Tzu is a direct descendant of the dignified golden family, the Mongolian co-master, why should he be a puppet?

It was also a coincidence that Batur Huntaiji of the Dzungar Department sent his third brother Zhuot Babatur to the Hetao with 3,000 camel cavalry first.

Drot Babatur immediately found a slave who looked like Sangar and exchanged him for Sangar.

Escorted by 3,000 Dzungar camel cavalry, Sangar fled to the southern shore of the Juyan Sea, where he set up a khanate court in a place called Yijinai, and immediately called himself Sangar Khan, officially claiming to be the Great Khan of Mongolia.

After becoming the Great Khan of Mongolia, Sangar Khan once again issued the Golden Arrow Order.

After receiving the second golden arrow order, the Khalkha Mongol tribes thought it was profitable, and immediately rushed to Juyanhai with 60,000 cavalry in four parts of the wind and snow.

At this time, it was only the second day of February, and the weather in the Mobei grassland was still extremely cold.

But the Khalkha Mongols still came with great difficulty in order to share the benefits.

However, the most excited is Batur Huntaiji of the Junggar Department, as the descendant of the Zhuros family, the descendant of Dayuantian Sheng Khan, Batur Hun dreams of restoring the glory of his ancestors.

This time, Zot Babatur snatched Sangar Khan to the Juyan Sea, which was a godsend.

Sangar is the younger brother of Lin Dan Khan's mother's compatriot, and is a true descendant of the Golden Family, if Sangar Khan can be welcomed to the Dzungar Ministry, Dzungar can command all the Mongol tribes in the name of the Mongol Great Khan, although in fact other Mongol tribes will not obey the edict, but at least nominally can command all the tribes.

This is actually a routine with the Central Plains' coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

It was for this reason that Batur Hun withdrew the Dzungar cavalry from the Kazakh steppe.

Then, Batur Hun took all the cavalry that Dzungaria could mobilize, a total of 40,000 elite cavalry, and also braved the wind and snow day and night to come to Juyanhai.

As a result, the situation in the Great Northwest suddenly became treacherous.

Because Sangar, who is out of the control of Dashun, no one knows how to treat Dashun.

It stands to reason that the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant before, and Sangar had no reason to turn against Dashun.

But politics is never right or wrong, only interests, and if the Mongols needed a suitable enemy, then Dashun was the closest to them, and Da Ming was too far away.

So after taking Taiyuan, Li Zicheng was a little hesitant.

Li Guo and Li Yan's rear camp had even reached the Bauhinia Pass, and they were also recalled to Datong by Li Zicheng.

Gu Junen, as the initiator, also had a sense of helplessness and powerlessness to lift a stone and hit his own feet, because at this time, Li Zicheng had already issued an edict in the name of Emperor Dashun.

Therefore, legally speaking, Dashun and Jiannu are hostile relations.

Then the Mongol coalition army, which guarded the Yellow Sect and helped the Qing Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty, also became the enemy of Dashun.

Dashun could not send a special envoy to tell the Mongol coalition army that the gentleman's agreement between us and the Southern Ming was false, and our real intention was to calculate the Ming army, and others might not believe it.

……

The Dashun army was in trouble on its side, and the Ming army was also in trouble.

The matter has to start from seven days ago, after the failure of Hong Chengchou's attack on the Chenguantun camp, he decisively changed his strategy, no longer vainly trying to seize the camp on the grain road of the Ming army, nor did he try to dig a trench or build a camp to counter-encircle the camp of the Ming army, but used the Mongolian cavalry with high mobility to directly launch an unlimited attack on the Ming army's baggage team.

When encountering a baggage team with no infantry protection or only a small number of infantry protection, they will hunt directly.

If you encounter a baggage team protected by a large group of infantry, you will either call in more cavalry to launch an encirclement and suppression, or launch an endless raid and harassment, anyway, you will not let the Ming army transfer military supplies to the front line.

After a few days, the transfer of military supplies from Dagukou to Chenguantun was directly cut off.

After the transfer of military supplies between Dagukou and Chenguantun stopped, the Mongol cavalry did not stop, but took aim at the more than 900 miles of grain route between Dengzhou and Dagukou.

So now, dozens of camps between Dengzhou and Dagukou are already rumors.

Wang Jiayan said: "Shengshang, this matter is still a little troublesome, although the Eight Banners Mongolia is not equipped with flintlock pistols, the weapons used are still only scimitar horn bows, but the mobility of the cavalry is far better than the infantry, so our baggage team and infantry are very passive, fight people don't fight with you, but we can't catch up with the chase, and accidentally turn around and bite you, so far, there have been eight baggage teams have been attacked, and more than 1,000 people have been martyred." ”

"Trouble?" Chongzhen's gaze turned to Jiang Tianyi, "I remember that the staff department did a war game deduction, right?" ”

"Yes, the General Staff Section has indeed done a war game, and not again." Jiang Tianyi, "Through deduction, it can be seen that we actually have a way to deal with the attack of the Mongolian cavalry. ”

Chongzhen said: "You tell Wang Butang, what way?" ”

Jiang Tian replied yes, and said: "The method is actually very simple, that is, to use cavalry against cavalry. ”

"I'm afraid this matter is not easy." Wang Jiayan questioned, "Although my Ming cavalry has the advantage of flintlock pistols, but the riding skills may not be able to match the Mongolian cavalry, and the number of cavalry is only the Mongolian cavalry, I'm afraid it is difficult to deal with, right?" After all, the Mongol cavalry was scattered in units of 1,000 cavalry. ”

"Wang Butang is worried a lot, but he can still cope with it."

"Because my Ming cavalry doesn't have to look for the Mongol cavalry at all."

Jiang Tianyi said with a smile: "As long as we need to guard our own grain routes, the Mongolian cavalry will send them to the door by themselves, and when the Mongolian cavalry comes to the door, we can hunt them one by one and clear them." ”
