Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Feng Hou, although Hu Shun felt that with such a capable son-in-law as himself, he would sooner or later be rich, but now hearing these two words, he was still trembling with excitement.

Xie Tianran also looked excited: "Men, it's not that the students are greedy for this peerless achievement. The students are from Shaanxi, and they often walk in the Tatar grasslands and mountains. The students have seen too much of the tragic situation of the people after the war disaster. If you can capture the little prince alive this time, even if you don’t get any credit, the students will be willing to listen to your mentor!"

Hu Jinxue: "Zi Qiao, give the order. I will do whatever you say."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll talk about my thoughts."

Su Mu nodded, and according to the real historical records of the No.13 invasion of the Ming Dynasty by the little prince in his mind, he said: "If there is no accident, after the little prince knows that His Majesty came to Yingzhou to command the battle, he will definitely kill the whole army. Come and attack. The Tatars are good at fighting in the field, so His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom will naturally not go out to fight the enemy waves. Therefore, the situation of this battle is that the little prince will attack and the Datong army will defend."

"When it comes to defending the city, the army of Datong Town has a lot of experience. The Tatars used to only know how to rob, and they rode around like the wind on horseback. They didn't know how to attack a solidly defended camp. This time they will definitely bite a piece Tough bones, within a day or two, we will not be able to break through the old camp of the Ming army."

"Indeed." Both Hu Shun and Xie Ziran were leading the troops, so they couldn't stop nodding.

Su Mu: "Basically, if there are no accidents, the two towns of Taiyuan and Yansui have already been allocated to Dayanmen Pass, relying on the Great Wall to hide. Seeing that the war in Yingzhou is starting, troops must be sent to help, and they can reach the battlefield within two days. However, even if we gather troops from three towns, we may not be able to scare off the little prince. The Tatars are all cavalry, and they are not afraid of field battles. On the contrary, they are very happy to see my Ming frontier army fighting with them. Therefore, in this battle, Taiyuan , Yansui may not be able to get anything good, they will be anxious together. Then, the Ningxia town soldiers will also arrive at the scheduled battlefield as scheduled. Of course, Ningxia has just been pacified for two years, and its combat effectiveness is not enough. It cannot be decisive for the entire battle situation Impact."

Guan Jizong was a little annoyed: "Scholar Su, what you said is wrong. There are only so many Tatars. We have gathered troops from four towns. Why can't we beat the little prince?"

Su Mu also disagreed with this civil servant who didn't understand military affairs, he swallowed a mouthful of water, he was a little out of breath after saying so much just now: "The key lies in the two towns of Xuanfu and Liaodong. As soon as they arrive at the battlefield, the big Even if the encirclement is formed, when the time comes, the soldiers and horses of the six towns will come out together, and we will win this battle."

"That's right, we must win." The other three looked excited.

In fact, even without the foresight of this battle in history, Su Mu and Zhengde have conducted countless war games. No matter what kind of game they are, the results all ended with the victory of the Ming army.

In the deduction, the morale of the Tatars has declined after they competed with the four towns.The Xuanfu Town Army is the strongest and best equipped town in the border. His arrival has become a vital force that can control the situation of the battle.

However, in the final deduction, Su Mu still kept an eye out, and did not tell Zhengde the historical fact that the little prince broke into pieces and broke through the siege. Moreover, the breakout route chosen by his main force was unexpected.

In Zhengde's view, the Tatars have been completely surrounded, and even if the little prince can escape in the end, he will lose all his main force.Perhaps, in his heart, he never thought of killing or capturing the Great Khan of the Tartars alive.

Su Mu: "I don't have any suspense in winning this battle, but if that's the case, we have nothing to do. I'm afraid that the little prince will break out of the encirclement. All we need to do is to stop him halfway."

The map was already filled with red and blue flags, but no matter how you looked at it, it seemed that the little prince had no chance of breaking through.

While he was wondering, Su Mu pointed to the map and asked back: "Okay, now I will ask you again, if you were the little prince, which route would you choose to break through?"

Xie Ranran: "It must be from the right guard in Northwest Datong."

Hu Shun: "The right guard of Datong is certain, but maybe the Tatars will unexpectedly protrude from the direction of Datong in the north, but he can imagine that His Majesty the Emperor must also want it. The right guard of Datong will definitely Arrange soldiers and horses to block it. As for Datong City, there are both rivers and strong walls. It is not so easy for him to pass through here, and the cavalry can't give full play to the advantage. Could it be..." He looked at Su Mu in surprise.

Xie Tianran also immediately understood what Hu Shun wanted to say, and took a breath.

Su Mu nodded, and pointed to the northeast corner of the map with his finger: "Huai'an, Wanquan, we can only go from here. Although this area is the territory of Xuanfu Town, there are castles of Xuanfu along the way. But have you ever thought about it? As the main force of this battle, the whole army has already been mobilized, and the rear is already empty. Moreover, as we all know, that place is a long and narrow flat area, which is convenient for the cavalry to escape. At that time, the little prince will come from behind the buttocks of the Xuanfu army. Breaking out, who would have thought of it?"

Just kidding, the Chinese people know the terrain outside the mouth.

That's right, this is the route the little prince took to break through in real history.

As a modern person, he already knew the result of this battle in advance, and if he didn't use it, Su Mu wouldn't have to hang around in this world anymore, and it would also insult the title of traveler.

As for why he didn't remind Emperor Zhengde in advance, Su Mu wouldn't be so stupid!

At that time, of course the little prince will not be able to leave, and he, Su Mu, will also gain merit for his strategizing, but what should Hu Shun, Xie Ziran, and Hu Jinxue do? Isn't it a waste of time to come to Shanxi?

This world is real, even if you are a high-ranking official, you must have a group of capable generals to help you.

Liu Jin is awesome. It can be said that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, and he controls the entire Ming Dynasty government with one hand.But just because he didn't really have a usable force at hand, he offended too many people, so he was hanged at Caishikou in the end?

Moreover, if Hu Shun is a Marquis, the Marquis will be passed on to Hu Keji, my own son, Su Mu.

Su Mu continued: "Although there is no danger in that place, it is not difficult to ambush the little prince. This time I came to Shanxi from the capital, and the mountains, rivers and landforms along the way are all in my heart. There is a place just right To stop the Tatars fleeing north, at that time, all they need to do is plant an ambush, and the little prince will surely be kept behind."

Xie Ranran was young and impatient: "Master, what is the place?"

Su Mu: "Although the Huai'an Wanquan area is flat and has a wide field of vision, it is not conducive to our army's ambush. But don't forget, there is a river there."

Hu Shun also inspected military affairs in the Shanshan and Shanxi areas for two years. Hearing what Su Mu said, he immediately asked, "Are you talking about Yanghe?"

"Yes, it's Yanghe." Su Mu nodded, and he didn't know whether the later Yanghe Daqu was produced here.

Hu Shun said worriedly: "I'm afraid it won't work. Now is the dry season. Basically, as long as autumn is like autumn every year, the flow will be cut off until the peach blossom flood comes in the next May. There is no water in the river at all. Set up an ambush there. The cavalry can rush over with a howl, and we can't stop it at all."

Su Mu shook his head: "Boss Taishan, you don't know this. Although the weather is very cold this year, there is water in Heyang River, which is not small."

"Ah, is that true?" Hu Shun was taken aback and asked anxiously.

Su Mu nodded solemnly: "A while ago, when I was driving in the capital to deal with government affairs, I happened to see a note on Wanquan's side, which said that the Yanghe River was flooded this year, and it was frozen solid. I'm afraid there will be ice floods next year. Please ask the imperial court to allocate funds to repair the embankment. The imperial court is afraid that the local officials will take the money, so they sent someone to look at it. Now that the weather is so warm, it is estimated that the Yang River has also thawed. It’s impossible to get away.”

"Okay!" Hu Shun called out.

Xie Ziran and Hu Jinxue were also full of excitement, and said in unison: "God bless us."

Su Mu: "Since everyone has no doubts, let me arrange it now. Thank you, Naturally."

Xie Ziran: "The students are here."

Su Mu: "Let me ask you, how many available soldiers do you have?"

Xie Ranran: "The only ones who can come in handy are the Beideng Camp, about [-] people, but the armor is a little short."

Su Mu: "Don't worry, I'll tell His Majesty later that Datong Town will allocate some equipment to you, in the name of strengthening Datong's defense. I am also familiar with the general officers of the towns, and they will sell me some thin noodles .”

In fact, during this period of time, Su Mu served as a military counselor beside Emperor Zhengde, and the trust he received in Zhengde was recognized by the chief military officers of all the towns.Although Su Mu is only a sixth rank, the general officers of the second rank know that Su Mu might be the future minister of the Ming Dynasty, and they are very flattering to him.Su Mu asked them all for something, but it was too late for them to be happy, so how could they shirk?

Su Mu: "When I go to Yingzhou with your majesty tomorrow, you immediately take Bai Dengying and set off to ambush everything."

"Yes, teacher. But, isn't there a small number of people?" Xie Ziran was still a little worried.

Su Mu said indifferently: "Even if the little prince can break out of the siege, there must not be many people around him, and he will not have much fighting spirit after fleeing for a long distance. You don't need to lead troops if you still can't win by half-crossing."

Xie Ranran's expression froze: "Yes, the student will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations. If you can't keep the little prince, I will never come back to see you."

"Mr. Guan, the matter of food and grass has to be shifted from your side. The army will go first before mobilizing troops and horses. If this victory is won, it will inevitably be due to your credit."

"It's easy to say, the money and grain of my Datong mansion are not obtained from the scholar, you ask the court." Guan Jizong: "Just say how much grain and fodder and civilian husbands you need for the emperor's clothes."

The magistrate Guan naturally wants the credit, but the point is, he still wants to be an official for a few more years.If there is no accident, in another year, my term of office will expire, and I will probably retire.If you make more contributions, this official can probably continue to do so.

Xie Ziran: "This time I went to Wanquan, if I send out more civilians, the movement will be louder, and if the news leaks, I'm afraid it will arouse the vigilance of the Tatars. In this way, you give me the money and food, and I will let Bai wait for the orphans near the battalion People from Qianhusuo of the store are responsible for the delivery.”

Guan Jizong: "It's still Junfu who thinks carefully."

Su Mu: "Master Taishan, if you enter school, you will go with Junfu and be responsible for the middle contact."

He stood up and clapped his hands: "As soon as the Yingzhou war is over, I will send you a message. When the time comes, stop the little prince."

"Junfu, it's going to be an unprecedented battle, so calm down and don't think too much. We'll talk about everything after the battle is over." He added one last sentence, thinking of his missing daughter, his heart began to heavy again.
