"Your Majesty think twice!"

He Liusan also hurriedly stepped forward and said, before Su Hao chose to negotiate peace, let Yuan Chonghuan take 200,000 troops north, they can understand, as people who practice martial arts, they also have their own blood, rebellion is just for self-preservation, but also for the future, since ancient times, the prince will Xiangning has a kind of, who said that this world can only be the old Zhu family.

But now Su Hao still wants to capture Liaodong, which is the territory of the Jurchens, if the Jurchens can escape from the Guannei, then they are equivalent to attracting the Jurchen firepower for the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't worry, I'm not prepared to attract the attention of the Jurchens for Daming."

Seeing the expressions of Tang Xiangjin and the others, Su Hao also knew what a few people were thinking, so he waved his hand and said: "This time, Yuan Chonghuan is going north with an army of 200,000, even if the Jurchens who enter the customs can leave, they will definitely suffer a lot of casualties, whether they can continue to hold Shenyang City is a question, and they definitely don't have the energy to deal with us again." ”

According to the information sent back by the spies, Amin, Daishan, Mang Gurtai, and Huang Taiji, the four major Baylors, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Zilharang, have all been dispatched, and there are more than 10,000 personal soldiers of these eight people alone, all of whom are the absolute elite of the Jurchens, and the other Eight Banner soldiers who can be selected by Huang Taiji to attack the pass cannot have weak people.

It doesn't take much, as long as half of the death, or even a third, is enough for the Jurchen people to be greatly injured, and then block the Ming army and hold Shenyang City, but it is impossible to divide the troops to deal with him.

And the trouble of the Jurchens is not only the Ming army, but also the Mongols, the grassland only talks about strength, before the Jurchens were strong, those Mongolian tribes had to give in, but this time if the Jurchens suffered a big loss of strength, those Mongolian tribes would definitely resist as soon as possible.

Compared with the importance of Mongolia to the Jurchens, Liaodong is much inferior, otherwise the Jurchens would not have left Mao Wenlong, a nail that could threaten Liaodong at any time, if the Jurchens were asked to choose between Liaodong and the Mongolian steppe, the Jurchens would definitely choose the Mongolian steppe.

This is also the conclusion he came to after careful consideration in the past few days, and he is also ready to train with the Jurchens, and now the soldiers and horses under his command have been trained for more than half a year for a long time, and there is no problem in terms of combat power, but the actual combat experience is extremely expensive.

And in Shandong and the Ming army training is too risky, unlike the Jurchens, the Ming army has always been known for its large number of people, and Shandong is not in danger to defend, once defeated, it will be a thousand miles of collapse, so this is also the reason why he chose to defend although he was not much less than Yuan Chonghuan in terms of troops.

Because of the war with the Ming army, it is a decisive battle, either a big victory or a big defeat, and the Ming can afford to lose, even if Yuan Chonghuan is defeated, it is difficult for him to expand how much territory, because in the big cities around Shandong, the Ming Dynasty has stationed at least twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses, and if he wants to capture it, it is not a matter of time and a half.

So Da Ming can recruit new soldiers in other places at any time and make a comeback, but he can't, once he is defeated, it will be a situation from which he will never recover.

However, it is different on the Liaodong side, there is the sea as a barrier in the middle, even if it is defeated, it will not have the slightest impact on the base camp of Shandong, and he does not plan to send too many troops to Liaodong, thirty or forty thousand people at a time, this time the Jurchens will definitely be damaged, and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably seek to recover Liaodong, and the Jurchens will defend Shenyang City and the Mongolian steppe, even if they have to deal with him, they will not be able to send many troops.

However, his main purpose is still for the land of Liaodong, and now the land on this side of Shandong has reached its limit, and more than 200,000 people have fled from Beizhili before, and he knows very well that there will be more and more natural disasters in the future, and there will be more refugees pouring in.

More importantly, he had to recruit more soldiers in the past five years, but to expand his troops, he needed more food, and more food required more territory, and it was difficult for the Central Plains to expand his territory.

That's why he will take a fancy to the land of Liaodong, as long as the Jurchens are driven to the grassland, he can have more territory, although Liaodong is cold, but it is a treasure land, and no one occupies it, he can completely build the entire Liaodong into a huge military cantonment, within five years, Liaodong can provide him with a lot of food, so that he can recruit more soldiers.

After thinking for a while, Su Hao continued: "The reason why I want to capture Liaodong is mainly because I am worried that the Jurchens will really be severely damaged by the Ming Dynasty and will no longer be able to hold Liaodong, so we must occupy Liaodong before the Jurchens flee and contain the Ming Dynasty's forces in Liaodong." ”

Although he didn't think that Huang Taiji would be planted in Daming so easily, he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if this unlucky child of Huang Taiji was really planted in Chongzhen's hands, he could also seize the opportunity and get Liaodong into his hands.

In the past few months, because of the deal with Mao Wenlong, the navy has also been improved a lot, and after going out to sea a few times, he has also selected a group of useful sailors in the army, and sea transportation is still guaranteed.

"Wait for me."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Tang Xiangjin and the others could only give up, Daqi was created by Su Hao, and now Su Hao has made up his mind to open up territory in Liaodong, and they have no choice.

"Governor Tang, I order you to lead 40,000 troops to Liaodong to recover Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei."

Su Hao said in a deep voice: "I will send people to Liaodong again to recruit local Han people and build a stone fort." ”

"Obey."

Hearing Su Hao's order, Tang Xiangjin answered.

…

After waving off Tang Xiangjin and the four of them, Su Hao asked Liao Qing to come over.

"I asked you to go to other prefectures to recruit masters, how is the situation?"

Su Hao asked, in addition to the lack of troops on the Daqi side, the master is also a big weakness.

"Back to Your Majesty, the spies of the Black Ice Platform have infiltrated other mansions, but now they are only second-rate or third-rate martial artists, and no first-rate martial artists are willing to join us."

Liao Qing replied.

Hearing this, Su Hao was not surprised, although there are many folk masters, but those who can reach the first-class realm are at least one party of heroes, and they want people to abandon their families and come to Daqi, and the current Daqi is not enough to see, since ancient times, there are many icing on the cake, and there are few charcoal in the snow.

"Get the spies up to speed."

After thinking about it for a while, Su Hao said: "Now that Daqi and Daming have made peace, Daqi's prestige has risen greatly, and it should be able to attract some masters to come over." ”

"Obey."

Liao Qing replied.

Su Hao continued: "In addition, Wu Shi and them are ordered to go back to Shandong, there is no need to stay in Huai'an Mansion." ”

"Minister, let people go to Huai'an Mansion."

…

Not to mention that Su Hao's side was preparing to capture Liaodong, at this time, the news of the Jurchens entering the customs had gradually spread, and countless people in the Jiliao region had fled.

………

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, has recaptured Xifengkou and is leading troops to the capital."

Liu Hongxun bowed and said: "In addition, the minister of the king of Liaodong is leading 9,000 troops to Tongzhou, preparing to slow down the march of the Jurchens, in addition, Wang Zhichen also sent Zu Dashou, He Kegang and others to lead the cavalry, galloping into the pass, to defend the Beijing division. ”

"Let them do what they planned."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Where did Yuan Chonghuan's army go?" ”

For Wang Zhichen and Liu Ce, he was already extremely disappointed, a Ji Liao Governor, a Liaodong Jingluo, couldn't even hold the side wall, let Jiannu enter the pass, after this incident, both of them were inevitably questioned.

The most important thing now is when the 200,000 troops led by Yuan Chonghuan will arrive, and if they come faster, then the impact on Beizhili will be even less.

"Back to Your Majesty, the vanguard sent by Yuan Chonghuan, Guo Qin, the general soldier of Shandong, has led the army to Cangzhou, and the general Deng Kui has led 30,000 soldiers and horses to the north by boat, and it will reach Beijing in two days at most, and the soldiers and horses led by Yuan Chonghuan have just left the boundary of Shandong and are advancing towards Cangzhou."

Liu Hongxun bowed and said, guarding the Jingshi is the most important thing, and the second is to exterminate the Jurchens, otherwise once the Jingshi is lost, the Ming Dynasty will be over.

Hearing Liu Hongxun's words, Zhu Youzhen's always gloomy face finally showed a smile, with these 200,000 troops, plus more than 100,000 troops in Shanhaiguan and Liaodong, as well as tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Xuanfu, these 300,000 soldiers and horses are enough for the Jurchens to come and go.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen asked again: "What about Jiannu?" ”

Liu Hongxun replied: "It has passed Jizhou, Yongping, Funing and other cities have fallen, and at present, according to the report of the reconnaissance cavalry, Jiannu has been divided into two routes, all the way to Shunyi, all the way to Tongzhou. ”

"Rubbish!"

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but scold again, he ordered the cities along the way to defend to the death, but he didn't expect to let Jiannu approach Tongzhou.

"Your Majesty is angry."

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen seemed to have signs of making a fortune, Liu Hongxun could only hurriedly persuade: "This is not the fault of the soldiers defending the city, after Jiannu captured Yongping City, he sneaked through the area of Jixi and did not attack the city. ”

Zhu Youzhen has been on the throne for so long, and he also knows Zhu Youzhen's temper, if he doesn't persuade him again, maybe Zhu Youzhen will do something like a general who is on the verge of war.

"How many Qinwang troops have arrived in Jingshi now?"

Hearing Liu Hongxun's words, Zhu Youzhen restrained his anger a little and asked about King Qin's army.

"Back to Your Majesty, the chief soldier of Datong Man Gui and the chief soldier of Xuanfu Hou Shilu have already led their troops to camp outside Desheng Gate."

Han Yi on the side arched his hand and said: "In addition, the minister has also ordered the king's ministers to immediately garrison the Guangqu Gate if they can't block the Jiannu in Tongzhou." ”

Hearing Han Yi's words, Zhu Youzhen was silent for a moment before he said: "Summons the officials and nobles in Beijing, and let them lead their families to the city wall to help defend the city." ”

The nobles and officials in the capital are also a very strong force, especially the nobles, in addition to the masters enshrined in the family, their families are all veterans recruited from the battlefield in Liaodong, although the number is not much, but the personal strength is still above the elite of Liaodong, and they are proficient in battle formations, and they are enough to deal with second-rate warriors after the formation.

"Obey the order!"

Han Yi bowed in response.

………

The other side.

More than ten miles away from Shunyi City, a huge cavalry force was encamped.

In the camp, Huang Taiji and Daishan, Jierharang, Yue Xuan, Du Du and other Eight Banner generals gathered together, and an extremely simple hand-drawn map on the sand table in the middle, except for the location of the capital is still clear, other places are blank.

"Now we are less than a hundred miles away from the Ming Jingshi."

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Where are they now?" ”

Yue Zhen said: "Back to the Great Khan, according to the report of the scouts, Sanbeile and they have already arrived near Tongzhou and are rushing towards this side. ”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but complain to the Mongolian generals on the side: "Olgrad, don't you have a better map?" What do you think of this map? ”

Without a map, it's not easy to move forward, once you go the wrong way, it's troublesome, and it's easy to fall into the trap of the Ming people, and it's also not easy to send scouts to reconnoiter the terrain, this side is already the capital of the Ming people, and there are scouts everywhere, and there is a high probability that you will be killed if you send out a scout.

"Yue beles forgiveness."

Hearing Yue's words, Olgrad could only say with a bitter face: "It has been more than two hundred years since we were driven out of the Central Plains, and there is no map left at all. ”

"Yue Xuan, don't blame Olgrad."

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said: "Besides, even if there is a map left, the vicissitudes of more than two hundred years will not be used." ”

"Thank you Khan for your understanding."

Hearing this, Olgrad hurriedly saluted.

"Yue Xuan, let people order Mang Gurtai to go slowly, and after three days, gather in the Ming Jingshi."

After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji said.

Yue Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, Great Khan." ”

…

Time passed little by little, and as the Jurchens got closer and closer, the breath of war became stronger and stronger.

At this time, Deng Kui also rushed to the capital with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then merged into the Qinwang troops of the general army of Datong Mangui and the general soldier of Xuanfu Hou Shilu.

………

Capital.

Outside the Desheng Gate, Man Gui and Hou Shilu stood on the building car and looked into the distance, at this time more than 30 miles away was dusty, obviously a large army was approaching.

"Brother Man, how is the strength of the Jurchens?"

Looking at the dusty sky in the distance, Hou Shilu frowned, although they had 30,000 more people brought by Deng Kui, but the Jurchens were all cavalry, and it was not easy to hold the undefeated.

"According to the spies, there are probably more than 10,000 Jurchens on this road, as well as tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry."

Man Gui's expression was solemn: "This battle is not easy to fight." ”

"If it's not good, you have to fight."

Hou Shilu shook his head: "Listening to Deng Kui, General Guo has already arrived with the remaining 70,000 people, and he should be able to reach the capital in three days, and Governor Yuan is also coming with an army of 100,000, as long as we drag the Jurchens, we can finish our work in one battle and completely destroy these Jurchens who have entered the customs, and at that time, the Jurchens will not be troubled." ”

"There's not much hope."

Hearing this, Man Gui shook his head and said, "The Jurchens are all cavalrymen, and it is not easy to block them. ”
