Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 402 I Have an Idea (Add More)

Among the attendees, apart from Du Yinxi, there were also Wang Chengen, eunuch in charge of ceremonies and admiral of Xichang, and Zhongwu Bo Zhou Yuji, and there were no officials from the outer court.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Chengen introduced the latest military situation of the imperial court.

I only listened to Wang Chengen's introduction to Du Yinxi and others: "Before, Jianlu was only active near Jinzhou, and rarely went to Ningyuan. But since last month, he suddenly moved westward on a large scale, not only crossing Ningyuan City, but even As far as Shanhaiguan, several guards and cities were in emergency, and the field grain fields were looted by the Jian captives..."

In the past, Sun Chengzong led the way to build castles and advance to Liaodong.The main force of the Guanning Army stationed in Jinzhou was led by Zu Dashou himself.

This is tantamount to advancing the front line to the east of Jinzhou, and there are castles such as Songshan as frontier cities.

In this way, from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, the production of grain fields can be guaranteed, and the grain and grass logistics of the Guanning Army can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Of course, these places basically belong to the guards and are military settlements.From Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, there are six guards in total.Between Ningyuan and Jinzhou, there are Guangning Zhongtun Office and Ningyuan Zhongzuo Office.Between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, there are Ningyuan Zhongyou, Guangning Zhonghou, Guangning Qiantunwei, and Guangning Zhongqian.

These basic facts are known to everyone here, so Wang Chengen does not need to introduce them, but just continued to talk about other known facts: "After the Jianlu robbed the food, they did not return to Jinzhou, but attacked the cities of the guards. Signs. Among them, the Guangning Central Station and the Ningyuan Zhongzuo Station have been taken away by Jianlu, and now they are threatening other guard cities. According to the conjecture of Governor Ji Liao, Jianlu is trying to encircle and fight for help."

The Guangning Zhongtun Office and the Ningyuan Zhongzuo Office actually existed in name only after the Songjin Battle ended.Therefore, no one cares about losing these two places this time.

When Wang Chengen said this, he paused and then said: "At present, the main force in Shanhaiguan is Zhongzhenhou's white pole army, and they have no field rescue power to face Jianlu. Therefore, Uncle Zhongwu has to be called from the south to return to the north!"

After speaking, he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, indicating that the introduction was over.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the right and left arm below, and said with a serious expression: "I guess, Jianlu is trying to test it. If the court keeps ignoring it, they may take down the city of Weisuo, and then take down Ningyuan City. They may also feel that the capital If the troops in the land are empty, it is possible to think of ways to invade the land of Gyeonggi again!"

Having said that, he paused, raised his voice a bit, and said solemnly: "Nowadays the land of Gyeonggi is in ruins and everything is being rebuilt. We must not let Jianlu have another chance to enter the customs. It is just to strengthen Jizhou. The first line of defense of the Great Wall is not safe. There is no reason to guard against thieves day and night. Therefore, what I mean is that since Jianlu is not safe and wants to make trouble, he will be beaten severely so that he will be honest. When the pass is rectified later, we will send troops to recover Liaodong!"

His words actually carried some habits of later generations, not for other reasons, but because Liu Weichao actually said these words.Emperor Chongzhen felt that it made sense, so he changed it to his meaning and let his courtiers understand.

In the original words, Liu Weichao also said that if you hit with one punch, you will avoid a hundred punches.Beating Jianlu severely again will make Jianlu less troublesome, and it will stop for a while in the future.

At that time, Liu Weichao also introduced the source of this statement to him.However, Emperor Chongzhen felt that this background was different from his.At least he felt that he was strong enough.

Therefore, he did not quote this sentence.

At this time, Du Yinxi heard the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, nodded immediately and said: "Your Majesty, the battle of Jizhou, the imperial court did not have to think about the Liaodong war for a year, and freed up manpower and material resources for countering the rebellion in the pass. Now , at least the rectification of the Central Plains has already had an effect. If we hurt Jianlu again, we can spend a few more years without thinking about going outside the pass, and try our best to put down the rebellion inside the pass.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, that's what he meant.This Du Yinxi, according to Liu Weichao, is strategic.Eyesight is pretty good.He thinks so too, he is indeed a hero who sees the same thing!
Afterwards, he said to Du Yinxi: "I have an idea, please wait and see, is it feasible?"

Du Yinxi and Zhou Yuji looked at each other, and then listened with their ears up.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen then say to them: "Since Jianlu dared to go deep into the hinterland of Guanning, he must have come prepared. If our reinforcements are weak, we will eat them. If our reinforcements are strong, they will be able to return to Jinzhou in time. Therefore, my idea is to lure the enemy to go deep, and then use ships to transport elites to Juehua Island, go ashore and unite with the troops of Ningyuan City to intercept, and wipe out all the Jianlu who have penetrated into Guanning, so that we can rebuild the Jianlu again!"

The strategy for dealing with Jianlu is to eliminate Jianlu. In this way, the population of Jianlu is limited, and if one is killed and one less, the vitality will be damaged.If it is possible to fight a war of annihilation, then fighting the war of annihilation will do the greatest damage to Jianlu.

This idea sounds very good, at least Emperor Chongzhen himself thinks so. Therefore, after speaking, he added: "However, how to lure the enemy to go deep, how to seize the opportunity to annihilate the Jian captives who went deep into Guanning, this is the most important thing. Of course, if there is no such opportunity, I will not force it. In short, I have only one request, not to lose the battle, but to hurt Jianlu!"

If it is possible, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to lead the army to fight in person, and try to lead the army himself.

But fortunately, he also has self-knowledge, even if he has Liu Weichao's golden finger, but he doesn't have the skills of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, he should not play this kind of game, because big things will happen.

This matter has already been taught in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts, Du Yinxi frowned immediately and said: "Your Majesty, transporting troops by ship can be unexpected, but there are no ships in Shanhaiguan! The number of troop transport ships in this kind of war is not enough. decimal."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this ship. After the sea-going ships from Jiangnan Procurement Yamen arrived in Tianjin, I have already asked them to stop there and not return to Jiangnan for the time being. In addition, I will also wait for a month. Before that, let Wang Daban send people to Dengzhou and Laizhou to collect ships capable of transporting troops, and they have already assembled at Tianjin Port."

In the past, Daming had the Denglai Navy in the north.It belongs to the governor of Denglai and communicates with Dongjiang Town.

It's just a pity that Dongjiang Town no longer exists, and even the Denglai Navy suffered a huge loss, and was taken away by Kong Youde and others to join Jianlu.

But no matter what, the Denglai Navy originally still had some ships left, but they were all divided up by the local guards and the rich.

No, Wang Cheng'en sent Xichang fans over there, no matter what the reason, as long as the ships suitable for transporting troops were recruited.If you don't accept it, ransack the house!

Just like that, Wang Chengen quickly brought the boat to Tianjin Port.As for the ownership of these ships in the future, that will be discussed later.It's just that for now, let's finish the Guanning war first.

When Du Yinxi heard that Emperor Chongzhen had already prepared, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately sighed in admiration: "Your majesty is no wiser, and I am really convinced!"

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard this, but on the surface, he just said lightly: "It's just such a trivial matter!"

Meaning, it's common, it's a no-brainer, it's not worth mentioning.

In fact, it is because of this idea that Liu Wei surpassed.

For the people of later generations, the thinking of sea, land and air combat is the most basic common sense.

Regarding the terrain on Guan Ning's side, Liu Weichao subconsciously thought of the idea of ​​the navy's coordinated operations.It's just that there is no air force, or else come, another air force.

In the past, I also talked about balloon airships with Emperor Chongzhen.However, Emperor Chongzhen has too many things to do here. Even if a lot of money is stolen from the house, a strong army requires money, and a thousand things need money. In the end, the actual use of this balloon airship is not high. The content is not considered first.

If it is only people who shake this era, the steam train is enough.

In this era, Liu Weichao's idea of ​​joint water and land operations may not be immediately thought of by people.

Because in this era, the navy is only a vassal of the army and has no status at all.Especially in the north, the status of the navy is even lower.

Therefore, in Du Yinxi's view, Emperor Chongzhen actually thought of this way of fighting, and made preparations in advance, so that he, the coach, could command the war more comfortably. He really admires it very much!
To be honest, if Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, he wouldn't have thought of such a style of play, at least so far, if Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, he wouldn't have thought of it.

In fact, since ancient times, it has been rare to use naval transport and landing to intercept the enemy.And the Ming army never used this method in the war against Liaodong.

Emperor Chongzhen put forward this kind of combat idea under such a background, which made their eyes shine.

At this time, they were discussing, but Zhou Yuji remained silent.After hearing this, he suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, how many troops does Jianlu have in Jinzhou?"

Obviously, compared with Du Yinxi and others discussing strategic issues, he cares more about tactics.Just thinking about this battle, how to fight it concretely?

When Emperor Chongzhen heard his question, he turned to look at Wang Chengen.

This time, Wang Chengen was a little embarrassed, and replied to Zhou Yuji, "The number of Jianlu who ravaged this time is about [-] cavalry. There is no infantry. If we estimate according to the cavalry and infantry of Jianlu in the past, there are about three or four in Jinzhou." Thousands of horses!"

When Zhou Yuji heard this, he frowned and said, "That is to say, the strength of Jinzhou Jianlu's troops is actually just a guess?"
