Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 111 Fight Again! (1)

National strength is fought in war, and mobilization is fought, especially when the two armies are at a stalemate, whoever can grit his teeth and persevere to the end will win the final victory.

Although the current Daming, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, is considered a rotten existence, compared with Jianlu who fought in different places and was far away from the base area, Daming still has a relative advantage.

There was the Military Aircraft Department staying behind in Shenjing, the assistant ministers like Zhang Weixian and Zhou Yanru, the inner court eunuchs like Cao Huachun, and Luo Yangxing who was in charge of the Jinyi guards. Their lives were all controlled by Emperor Chongzhen.

One by one checks and balances each other, cooperates with each other, confronts the group of courtiers who are retreating in the court hall, and protects the military aircraft to the greatest extent.

The essence of fighting for power and profit, for what?
Don't you just want to let yourself take control of the power, so that the background of the family you belong to can become stronger?

If everyone is really old and extinct, even if they become the supreme emperor, what's the use of it?

Even if you want to enjoy yourself, you are afraid that the people under your command will think about how to rebel against you.

"Lu Qing, how are the disciples of the military's avant-garde group doing under your command?" Emperor Chongzhen said as he gestured for Lu Xiangsheng to sit down and talk, "How many of them do you think are worthy of great use? "

Lu Xiangsheng bowed his hands to express his gratitude, then he sat down with his armour, but he only sat for a while, and he could stand up at any time to answer.

After pondering for a while, Lu Xiangsheng leaned slightly and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, I think their performance is quite good. Among them, Zhang Shize, the grandson of the British Duke, is quite capable. If he can practice military martial arts, given time, he will surely relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Ah."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "I think so too, these sons and daughters of honored relatives, capable people, must no longer just sit around and wait to die.

After experiencing this Jianlu invasion, I want to understand a lot. The Jingying guarding Shenjing must have the strength of the Tianxiong Army and the Zhongyong Army.

I knew before that the capital camp was unusable, and that it was a serious trend to eat empty pay and drink blood from soldiers. Li Qing had been ordered by me to rectify it before, but the effect was minimal.

This time when Jianlu invaded Ming Dynasty, although Zhang Weixian, governor of the Beijing camp, except for the elites who were organized into the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies, I still don't think highly of the other soldiers in the Beijing camp. "

Lu Xiangsheng was silent, and he didn't talk to him. It was such an important matter related to the Beijing camp, and it was not something that he could intervene too much now.

Although before that, the Tianxiong and Zhongyong armies under his command had a good record, but officially, he did not confer corresponding official positions.

"My lord, grandson and the others are here."

Wang Chengen walked into the commander's tent and reported to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Quick announcement."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand, and then stood up. Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly stood up, but doubts arose in his heart.

The Son of Heaven summoned Sun Chengzong and Sun Zushou who were in charge of the left and right armies in the middle of the night. Could it be that they have some urgent military affairs to talk about?

"My minister, Sun Chengzong, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"The last general, Sun Zushou, pays homage to His Majesty!"

When Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled, Sun Chengzong and Sun Zushou walked into the commander's tent, and when they saw the Chongzhen Emperor standing up to greet him, they hurriedly bowed their hands.

"You two lovers don't need to be polite."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Tonight I summoned all the ministers to come over to discuss something with you."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the hanging map. Seeing this, Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly followed.

"Affected by today's World War I, most of the main forces of Jianlu who invaded our Ming Dynasty retreated to Santunying City." Emperor Chongzhen pointed at the map with a serious expression.

"And the Yongwei Battalion led by Zhou Yuji has arrived at the rear of the left wing and merged with the left-behind Zhongyong Army. Now the connection between Hongshankou and Santunying has been severed by the main force of the Ming Dynasty.

So according to my thoughts, tomorrow, we will fight Jianlu again in Ming Dynasty, Zhou Yuji's troops will attack Hongshan Pass, and our main force will attack Santun Camp.

In this way, even if the Santun camp cannot be captured, the Hongshan Pass must be captured and removed from Jianlu's hands. In this way, there will only be Longjing Pass and Xifeng Pass left for them to enter and exit the pass.

I summoned all the ministers here just to ask you, whether the soldiers and horses under your command can carry out a high-intensity siege battle tomorrow, and once again severely damage the morale of the Jianlu? "

The battle has come to this point, and at the strategic level, if he can try not to give Jianlu a chance to breathe, then Emperor Chongzhen will not waste a day.

But when it came to the tactical level, Emperor Chongzhen had to listen to Sun Chengzong's opinions to ensure that there would be no surprises in the follow-up war.

"Your Majesty, I think you can fight."

Sun Chengzong stepped forward and said with a serious expression: "In today's battle, I, the Ming Dynasty, fought with various troops and horses, and fought bloody, so that Jianlu knew how powerful my Ming Dynasty is.

However, after tomorrow's battle, if the Santun camp cannot be successfully breached, then if we want to launch a large-scale siege, we must wait for enough thunderstorms in the rear, as well as bags of granular gunpowder and bagged lead bullets.

Otherwise, if we only rely on the lives of the soldiers under our command to fight, the casualties will be too great, which is contrary to the advantage that my Ming Dynasty has obtained now. "

Sun Chengzong was not afraid of tomorrow's battle, but he was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would be blinded by today's victory, and felt that Jianlu's strength was nothing more than that.

"My minister agrees!"

"The last general will second the proposal!"

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Zushou followed closely behind.

Seeing Sun Chengzong and the others like this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "You guys, don't you think that I've been dazzled by today's victory?

If that's the case, I wouldn't take the risk to summon you, Master Sun, don't worry, I understand your scruples, and I also know the price I, Da Ming, paid for gaining the current advantage.

I still say the same thing, the battles that should be fought must be fought, but the battles that should not be fought will never be fought. Some civil officials in the court do not take the life of my Ming soldiers, but take their lives as their orders.

But I am not like that!

Since you all agree to the battle tomorrow, then return to your respective fronts as soon as possible, gather your generals and schools, and discuss the three-sided attack.

Remember, you can't take the lives of the soldiers under your command to fill in for me. The purpose of tomorrow's battle is to disperse the attention of Jianlu, and Hongshan Pass must be recaptured.

If you have the opportunity to take down Santunying, take it, if the time is not ripe, then wait! "

"I will obey your orders!"

Looking at Sun Chengzong and the others who were leading the order, Emperor Chongzhen felt emotional. Fortunately, he had such a group of pragmatic talents under his command. Otherwise, the difficulty factor would be even higher if he wanted to defeat the invading Jian captives.

Calling Korean and Chinese officials who don't understand military affairs to help me share my worries, I am afraid that I will die without knowing how to die. The civil servant's set of teachers of benevolence and righteousness should fight the battle of benevolence and righteousness. Thinking about it, I feel so horrible.
