Chapter 102: The Expedition

After Zhu Youzhen's crazy shopping, he breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

Since the system was upgraded, he built a large warehouse in the outer city, and sent heavy troops to guard it, specifically to store all kinds of things he bought from Xixi, which was much more convenient than finding a place to store it himself.

After pondering for a while, he gave a few more orders:

Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Phi Dao, was ordered to lead the army to attack the rear of Jiannu.

Ordered Zu Dashou and Mangui to attack Shenyang in one place, only killing people, not occupying the city.

Ordered Yongping Zhao to lead his troops to Qingshankou to station, and when Jiannu retreated, he blocked his retreat.

Hou Shilu of Xuanfu, Cao Minglei of Baoding, Liu Guozhu of Tianjin, Sanhe, Tongzhou and Juyongguan were ordered to lead the troops to defend the capital.

After all this, Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair.

The key to victory or defeat lies in whether the three major battalions of the Beijing Division and the Yongwei Battalion can harden the Eight Banners of Jiannu. The rest of the soldiers, he didn't trust at all.

It's impossible to say that he's not nervous.

Everything, it depends on the Beijing camp and the Yongwei camp!

"Long live, Fan Jingwen asks to see you."

The eunuch's report interrupted Zhu Youzhen's contemplation.

"Let him in."

Not only Fan Jingwen, but also none of the cabinet ministers.

"Your Majesty, the minister learned that His Majesty wants to transfer the camp out of Beijing, but there is an accident?"

Fan Jingwen asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the house.

Fighting such a big thing, don't you discuss it with our cabinet? Have you taken us into account? If you don't give a reasonable reason, I'm going to die in front of you today!" Let you know what it means to die!

"Your Majesty, there are many people and horses in the Jingying, and they are in a hurry, where will the money and food be withdrawn?" This is self-discipline.

"I have received news that the Nu chief Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners to pass through Mongolia, and has advanced from Hongshan Pass, Da'ankou, and Longjing Pass, and now Xifeng Pass has been lost."

Zhu Youzhen deliberately exaggerated a little.

Fan Jingwen and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly asked:

"How many people are there in Jiannu?"

"One hundred thousand!"

"Your Majesty has transferred all the camps out of the capital, what about the defense of the capital?"

"I have already ordered Hou Shilu of Xuanfu, Cao Minglei of Baoding, Liu Guozhu of Tianjin, and the guards of Sanhe, Tongzhou, and Juyongguan to lead the troops into Beijing."

Fan Jingwen's brows furrowed even more when he heard this.

These places can just make up some people, but is the combat effectiveness guaranteed?

"I beg Your Majesty to leave 30,000 Beijing battalions to guard the capital."

"That's not good, Jiannu is good at fighting, and the soldiers sent are too few to fight!"

"The twenty thousand."

"No way!"

In the end, it was decided to leave 15,000 soldiers in the barracks.

"In a hurry. I'm afraid that the food is not good for requisition! Bi Ziyan also expressed his concerns. At this time, he didn't dare to say that he had no money and food. Besides, I'm afraid I'm going to die!

"Bi Qing don't worry, I've got a plan. The grain comes out of my royal estate, and the money comes out of my inner money. Zhu Youzhen immediately blocked Bi Ziyan's mouth. This is all what he thought, if he takes money and grain from the household department at this time, with the efficiency of the household department, I am afraid that the Jiannu will hit Tongzhou and the Beijing camp has not yet set off.

The corners of Bi Ziyan's mouth twitched, and he forcibly held back a smile.

He knew that His Majesty was rich, and now no one in the upper class of the entire Jingshi knew that Global Premium and Global Bank belonged to the emperor, and no one said it. Since the emperor was willing to bleed, he was naturally happy to be idle.

There are so many places to spend money right now.

Promote new grain, dig wells and repair rivers, which does not cost money, if he doesn't tighten his money bag and instigate a little, his life will not be able to go on.

After getting a satisfactory answer, several people quit and left, and went back to get busy.

As soon as the battle was fought, there were more things in all aspects.

After a day of emergency dispatch, early the next morning. There were 75,000 people in the three battalions of the Beijing Division and 10,000 people in the Yongwei Battalion, totaling 85,000 people. Except for the 10,000 Beijing battalion to defend the Beijing division and the 3,000 Yongwei battalion to surround the palace, all the armed forces in the capital were dispatched.

This time, Zhu You checked the blood capital and armed these soldiers to the teeth.

A full set of explosion-proof armor from Qingyishui.

The infantry is equipped with blast shields, steel knives, spears, and compound bows.

Musketeers with Mineer rifles.

Cavalry with sabers and short-barreled rifles.

At this time, he didn't plan to climb any more tech trees, so he agreed to this battle first.

Outside the Desheng Gate.

Zhu Youjian stood on the temporary platform and looked excitedly at the soldiers in the audience.

Right! It's exciting.

More than 80,000 soldiers in red armor are standing in a neat queue waiting for your speech. It was originally black, but at his request, the armor was deliberately dyed red.

Zhu Youzhen held a microphone in his hand, and there were four super-large speakers in front of the stage.

"Ahem!"

The deafening sound came from the stereo, like the roar of rolling thunder, which could be heard for miles.

"Warriors! Today is the day it was meant to be! Jiannu entered the customs. Our great rivers and mountains will be exposed to their iron hooves! Our people will be mercilessly slaughtered by them. What are we going to do? Are we going to surrender to them? Are we going to offer our possessions, even our wives and daughters? Are we going to be cowards who tremble under their iron hooves? No! I don't think any of you want to live like this. Our enemies are waiting to die, and it would be rude to keep them waiting. So, we should let them taste our Mingren swords and guns! Let them know what it is called, Da Ming mighty! ”

"Daming mighty !!" The cries of the soldiers in the audience came like a sea of mountains, echoing in the sky, as if to sweep away the clouds in the sky.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen pressed it, and the scene was quiet again.

"Here, I promise. Kill a Tartar and reward him with ten taels of silver. Kill a cow Lu Ezhen, reward 500 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to one level. Kill a Jia Lae Zhen, reward 2,000 taels of silver, and promote the official to two levels! Kill a solid mountain Ezhen, reward 5,000 taels of silver, and promote the official to the third level! Warriors! Let's go to battle! Honor to the brave soldiers! To our motherland! ”

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

Listening to the sound of the audience shouting long live, Zhu Youzhen's bones were about to be crispy.

At this time, Xifengkou is hundreds of miles away.

was captured by Huang Taiji without much effort.

Huang Taiji was discussing his next action with Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai looking at Yutu.

"Great Khan, I think we should continue to divide our troops, advance in three directions, grab supplies, and make the Ming people tired of coping." Mang Gurtai was very excited, and the victories in the past two days had wiped out his first two grievances. At this moment, his broadsword was already hungry and thirsty.

Huang Taiji was not carried away by this small victory, but calmly thought about the next strategy. Hearing Mang Gurtai's words, he shook his head.

"Although our Eight Banners are strong in combat, the strength of the Ming people is still not to be underestimated. If you continue to divide the troops, I am afraid that there will be a danger of being broken by the Ming people one by one. With our current 70,000 soldiers and horses, as long as we don't divide the troops, where can't we get them in this pass? ”

"The news of our invasion of Guannei will reach the capital tomorrow at the latest, and then the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely order the troops from all over the country to serve the king. The closest to us at the moment is Zhao Shujiao of Yongping Mansion. I had dealt with each other during the battle of Ningyuan, and I would definitely be the first to come to support after getting the news. But he did not have many troops under his command, only more than 10,000 points. followed by Xuanfu and Datong, there are also not many soldiers and horses available. And we can't form a scale, we can take the opportunity to break them one by one. ”

"So what's our next goal?"

"Zunhua!"
