The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 311
The night was as cold as water, and the second watch had passed, and the diligent emperor was still thinking hard.

Liaodong Jiannu is eyeing them like a tiger, who dares to manage them now?Who wants to be shorthanded?Who can manage it?
Liu Zhilun?I'm afraid not, his qualifications are too low.There are different opinions on how to promote him to be the Minister of the Ministry of War all at once.

Zheng Guochang?This person's qualifications are sufficient, but it is a pity that he lacks the practice of leading troops, and the ministers may strongly oppose it.

Xu Guangqi?Prestige and knowledge are enough, but he has never led soldiers!
Xiong Wencan?This person is probably just good at consoling, and coming to Liaodong is of no use.

After thinking about it, Chongzhen felt that his head was as big as a bucket, and he really couldn't find a candidate for the Liaodong strategy who was worthy of a big job.

It's really embarrassing for this young emperor. Most of the high-ranking officials and rich people in the court are in their 20s, [-]s, or even [-]s or [-]s. It's not easy for him, a [-]-year-old young man, to think about these people?
Wang Chengen, who had been serving attentively, put a cloak on the emperor and said softly: "Your Majesty, seeing that autumn is getting colder, don't suffer from the wind and cold. It's past the second watch, and the servants will wait for you to rest!"

"I'm so preoccupied these days that I can't sleep. It's okay for the bandits from Shanshan to make trouble. Jiannu sent tens of thousands of horses to surround Dalinghe City. I always feel that rescue is not easy."

"The slaves also know it's not easy. A while ago, Deputy General Huang made it clear in the memorandum that it is true or false that it is true or false that it is true that it is true that it is true that it is true that they took the initiative in the battlefield and waited for work to fight my reinforcements from Daming."

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are not comparable to those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. For example, Wang Chengen is already one of the eunuchs of the ceremonies. He is equivalent to the confidential secretary of Chongzhen. State affairs are also reasonable.

Wang Chengen acted cautiously, never overstepped, often did not criticize ministers in front of the emperor, and tried not to talk about state affairs, so he was one of the most trusted eunuchs in Chongzhen.

Chongzhen has a very individual character, and he is willing to get close to whomever he likes. At this time, he is "difficult to get rid of the melancholy", and he really wants someone to say a few words.

"I am also familiar with military books, so I don't know the dangers involved. However, the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly. Without a fortified city, how can we confront the Jiannu who are good at field warfare?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. It's important to take care of the dragon's body. If Jiannu really has the upper hand in Dalinghe City, then the servants can assert that Vice General Huang and the 'Red Banner Army' will turn the South Four Guards upside down."

"Oh? Wang Banban, how did you see it?"

"My Daming reinforcements plus Jinzhou and Ningyuan have a lot of troops. Those are frontier troops, and their combat power should not be underestimated. So what if the slave chief personally led the troops to besiege Dalinghe City? How can we shake it if we don't have enough troops? Move my Ming Dynasty's [-] to [-] troops?"

Chongzhen said: "It makes sense, let's talk about it with my companion."

Wang Chengen cleared his throat and said: "So the slaves thought that the Liaodong Daming would be invincible this time. If the 'Red Banner Army' attacked the Southern Four Guards and lost troops, it means that they have been hit hard by the main force of slave building.

Then Master Bingbei Dao Zhang will succeed in rescuing Dalinghe City immediately, and the besiegers who repel Jiannu's besiegers into Dalinghe City should get a lot of gains.

On the contrary, Master Zhang will lose his troops and generals, and Deputy Huang will attack Nansiwei several cities to rescue a large number of Ming people. With Deputy General Huang's habit of returning particles to the warehouse, the gains and captures of the 'Red Banner Army' will be even more impressive. "

"Banban actually means that the four or five thousand 'Red Banner Army' can make great achievements, but the future of the Ming army of forty or fifty thousand fighting fiercely in Dalinghe City is bleak?"

"Of course, I have read Vice General Huang's memorabilia many times. He has long explained that Dalinghe City is a conspiracy and a battlefield imagined by the slave chief. Wouldn't it be self-inflicted by Mr. Zhang to rush there?
But just sit back and watch Dalinghe City do nothing, how will the imperial court explain to the people of the world?The servant girl knew that His Majesty was in trouble, so she could only hope that Mr. Zhang's lucky stars would be able to fight this battle well. "

Chongzhen frowned and thought about it, and said: "Wang Banban, immediately plan to send six hundred li to rush to Zhang Chun, ordering him to refrain from haste and be patient, to fight steadily and never to advance rashly.

Clearly told him that the backyard of the slaves who were confronting each other was about to catch fire, and perhaps the situation of the war would change. The longer the battle at Daling River dragged on, the better it would be for Daming. "

"Your Majesty is wise, as long as Mr. Zhang is able to stabilize himself, Jiannu should be troubled from the beginning to the end. I will immediately go to the cabinet to ask Elder Wen Ge to draw up an order."

Wang Chengen went out, the young emperor was still in a trance, he was so aggrieved, he was really looking forward to a big victory...

At this time, the master of Jiannu, Zihong, couldn't sleep anyway, he was wearing a cloak and looking up at the night sky outside the tent of the Chinese army, it was almost the middle of the moon, when the moon was bright and the stars were thinning.

But it's hard to make Hong Zhe feel better in a very good month. He just received the battle report from the Gaizhou defender two days ago.

Gaizhou dispatched more than [-] elites from the Eight Banners to Fuzhou to find out the reality of the "Red Banner Army". Unexpectedly, they encountered an ambush and lost [-]% of their own troops.

It can be seen from this that the "Red Banner Army" attacking the South Four Guards was not a feint, but the same as his starting point, true or false. If the Golden Army rushed to help with all its strength, the "Red Banner Army" would just play a false move and then board the boat and retreat.

If the main force of the Dajin Army did not react, with the greediness of Huang Han, I am afraid that Fuzhou will be ruined for a hundred miles and become a no-man's land nine out of ten.

At this critical juncture when it is difficult to make a decision, Hong is reminding himself to persevere and to respond to all changes with the same, but just got the latest battle report this afternoon, and the hateful "Red Banner Army" actually stormed down to Fuzhou City.

The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh, and Hong Jie's little heart was trembling. He hated the "Red Banner Army" for raiding the Southern Four Guards, and he also hated the Ming army who had come to the rescue before they arrived at the preset battlefield.

But what else can he do now, even though he knows that riding a tiger is hard to get off, he has to persevere, and he must kill the reinforcements of the Ming army to make this trip worthwhile, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

The autumn war in Liaodong was launched by the Dajin Army, and so far no results have been achieved. However, Fang Daming, who was attacked, suddenly broke into the Southern Four Guards and successfully captured Fuzhou City.

This was simply putting the cart before the horse, and the Hou Jin army was in an uproar.Fortunately, because Hong Jie has led the Eight Banners to enter the capital of the Ming Dynasty and win a lot of victories, his prestige is increasing day by day. At present, no military aristocrat dares to jump out and openly oppose it.

Hong Jie really didn't expect that Huang Han, a cunning person, would suddenly appear in Daming, thinking that sooner or later this person would become a serious threat to the Kingdom of Jin, so he always wanted to find a way to get rid of him.

Many soldiers of the Eight Banners who grew up in the South Four Guards were depressed, and had no interest in taking down Dalinghe City, nor did they care about ambushing the Ming army.

They begged the master many times to kneel down and beg the master to send troops to rescue the Southern Four Guards, but the answer they got was that any lobbyist who could shake the Khan's determination would be killed without mercy!
