Chapter 1736 Where is the blind commanding court?
To be fair, Fan Wencheng's strategy of "attacking Changping, attacking the imperial mausoleum, and luring the capital camp" is still very clever. As long as the Ming Dynasty court can perform normally, it will definitely fall into a trap!
That's the Changping Imperial Tomb! The ancestral tomb of the Zhu Ming Dynasty is located. Within the capital, apart from Beijing, the Changping Imperial Tomb is the most important, right?
Now Huang Taiji, the great gold-finding khan of the Great Jin Kingdom, and Dorgon, the Faqiubele Lord, are going to Changping Tianshou Mountain to dig tombs and retrieve treasures. Can the Ming court not be in a hurry? Can the young emperor Zhu Youjian not jump? Impossible! They are too small.
In the event of chaos, of course the Liao Zhen Army and the Jingying Army must be forced to give up their turtle tactics and quickly move forward to find Huang Taiji for a decisive battle!
Once the Beijing camp's false account soldiers advance quickly, they will no longer be able to continue to advance in a car formation to cover each other and advance alternately. The Dajin Heavenly Soldiers will have the opportunity to take advantage of it!
Because infantry operations rely on forming strong formations and fortifying strongholds to defend dangerous points, it is difficult for infantry to march in hard formations. If they want to march quickly, they must form columns and take the official road. For example, the fake account soldiers of the Beijing Camp formed thirty
A phalanx of six car camps cannot take the official road. How can a phalanx of one or two thousand people take the official road? So it can only march in wheat fields, so the speed cannot be fast.
Although the infantry formed in columns and took the official road were fast, it was difficult to organize resistance in the face of a surprise attack by the enemy's cavalry group. It takes time to set up formations and build fortifications! Moreover, the car formations used by the Ming army's infantry were very troublesome to arrange.
, not as easy to unfold as various Western-style square arrays and horizontal arrays.
Therefore, when the infantry brigade is marching, it may require a small number of elite cavalry to cover and conduct reconnaissance at the front, rear, left and right to prevent it from being attacked or ambushed by the enemy.
However, Houjin's white-armored soldiers are too powerful. Their individual soldiers and small groups are extremely powerful. The Ming army's night guard is no match for them. They can easily be killed and run away. The Ming army's infantry has lost the protection of the cavalry.
, naturally became blind and deaf, and there was no way to form a strong formation or occupy favorable terrain in time when the Houjin Eight Banners soldiers came over.
In addition, the Jingying Army and the Jiliao Army that are now on the battlefield have adopted a step-by-step approach, walking six or seven miles every day, and setting up camp after walking. They are not starting from scratch, but looking for ready-made Zhuangzi villages to rebuild.
Gyeonggi is a prosperous place after all. There are many villages, towns and manors, and it is easy to find one for renovation.
After the reconstruction is completed, there will be a stronghold that can be used to protect the rear road and the grain road. If a few hundred elite soldiers are left to guard it, the grain road and the rear road will be stable. If the large army is frustrated during the advance, it can also retreat to the stronghold and hold on.
.It can be said that we are fighting steadily and remain invincible.
However, the "invincibility" of the Ming army was based on the Jin army's sudden defeat under the fortified city of Shunyi.
Now the Hou Jin army suddenly marched 80 miles westward and headed straight for Changping, where the imperial mausoleum of Tianshou Mountain is located. The Ming army, which was fighting steadily, should be anxious, right? Even if the Ming army was not in a hurry, the imperial court hiding in Beijing should jump, right?
?
"My soldier, have you received an urgent report from Changzhen? The Jiannu army has approached Changping County and the Imperial Tomb of Tianshou Mountain!"
"My soldiers, please quickly give the order to Duke Cheng Guo and Yuan Yuan to have them travel day and night to aid Changping!"
"Yes, we must not let the Changping Imperial Mausoleum make any mistakes!"
"My soldier, please give the order quickly!"
In the imperial city of Beijing, the yamen of the Ministry of War outside the Meridian Gate was in a state of panic this morning. A large group of ministers arrived, all clamoring for the Minister of War, King Zai Jin, to give orders to Zhu Chunchen, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zhang Fengyi.
Although this group of laymen all know that this kind of rush to fight may very well turn into an act of urging someone to die... But defending the imperial mausoleum is politically correct, and no one dares to make a mistake on this issue!
And Wang Zaijin’s answer was three words—you must ask for an order!
Wang Zaijin glanced at the ministers who were hurriedly showing political correctness, and said unhurriedly: "The Xuanfu Branch sent a message yesterday, saying that the Long Live Lord returned to the town the day before yesterday, and will lead three troops today.
Wan leaves Xuanzhen and heads to Juyongguan... Once Long live Lord arrives, the battle in Kinei will be fought by Long live Lord himself. Whether it is the Changzhen army, the Jingying army, or the Jiliao army, they are all troops led by Long live Lord himself. The Ministry of War only
You can ask for orders, but you can't directly give orders to urge war."
The politically correct ministers were all stunned, and after careful consideration, it seemed that this was what happened!
Now the little emperor is personally conducting the military expedition... Of course the troops outside Beijing must obey the emperor's orders. How could the Ministry of War mobilize troops without an order?
No! This is not Wu Zhi deploying troops, but Wu Zhi taking the blame!
What kind of soldiers in the Beijing camp are the king in Jin? Doesn’t Wang Zai know? Even if they put up a cautious and slow-moving turtle formation, they may not be able to protect themselves. Let them rush to Changping... they may break up halfway!
Once the Beijing camp is dispersed, if the Ji Liao army marches alone again, they will definitely be defeated miserably if they run into the army of slaves and thieves.
If the two armies in the Gyeonggi area are defeated miserably, then Huang Taiji will be happy, and he can rob wherever he wants! By then, Wang Zaijin's own soldier will not be sent to prison, but will lose his head.
This king in the Jin Dynasty is worthy of being a veteran of the four dynasties who became an official in the 20th year of Wanli. He is so smart!
It is related to the safety of the imperial mausoleum and the Gyeonggi region. If there is even the slightest mistake, the head will have to be removed... If you can, throw the blame away!
Huang Liji, the chief assistant, stroked his beard and frowned: "My soldier, it is 200 miles from Xuanzhen to Juyongguan. How long does it take to get there? How long does it take to get there? What are the precautions for the imperial mausoleum on Tianshou Mountain..."
Wang Zaijin thought about it seriously and said: "Long live the emperor is the emperor, and he is also the most filial king. When he heard that the imperial mausoleum was in trouble, he must have traveled thousands of miles to return home. Now he is probably in Juyong. Now the emperor is leading the troops outside."
We live inside... If we mobilize our troops without asking for orders, wouldn’t we be depriving the emperor of his right to command on the battlefield?”
This hat is big enough, the level of blame-shifting is high enough, and the words are watertight!
Wang Zaijin paused, and then said: "But this order still needs to be requested... The chief assistant, the Ministry of War has already prepared a memorial for the urgent transfer of the Beijing camp, and the Ji and Liao armies will go to aid Changzhen. The only thing we need is the cabinet.
That’s the decree.”
This fox is no ordinary cunning person!
Wang Zaijin knew clearly that he could not let the Jingying and Jiliao troops die, but in order to shift the blame, he still drafted a memorial to urgently mobilize the two armies to send reinforcements.
It's just that it's more than a hundred miles from Beijing to Juyongguan, and there is a possibility of encountering Tatar white-armored soldiers. It's hard to say whether the memorial can be delivered! Even if it is delivered, the little emperor will approve it and send it back to Beijing.
The Ministry of War will then give orders to Zhu Chunchen, Yuan Chonghuan, and Zhang Fengyi... How many days will it take to come and go? It is almost time for the Jingying Army and the Jiliao Army to climb to Changping!
I just wonder if the imperial tomb in Tianshou Mountain has been dug up by Dorgon?
If Dorgon knew that the Ming Dynasty called him "Master Faqiubele", he would definitely complain. Because he had nothing to do with the incident of disturbing the imperial mausoleum in Tianshou Mountain. It was Fan Wencheng who had Changping's idea.
Out! And Dorgon didn't follow him to Changping. Huang Taiji gave him a rearguard and the task of monitoring the two "tortoise armies", so he and Duoduo led more than 2,000 riders with two white flags in Shunyi.
Wandering between County, Changping Prefecture and Beijing City.
On September 22nd, Huang Taiji, who had set up camp ten miles west of Changping Prefecture City, was a little impatient and waited for news that the "tortoise army" had turned into a "rabbit army".
Ergon had hundreds of Karaqin Mongolian cavalry and a mission to lure the enemy. Huang Taiji wanted him to fake a few battles to see if he could attract the inexperienced soldiers from the Beijing camp.
As a result...the time has come for Dorgon to leave his name in history!
"Come, come, Commander-in-Chief...the slave-building brigade has finally arrived. It looks like there are thousands of people!"
In the early morning of September 25th, after leaving the earthen wall of Beijing and crawling along the Wenyu River (this river turns westward to Changping to the west of Shunyi County) for almost ten days, the Beijing camp army finally waited until they arrived.
The long-lasting "army" of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Zhu Chunchen, who was having breakfast with several lieutenants and Zhang Fengyi, the right servant of the Ministry of War, in an unknown mansion, heard the urgent military situation reported by Uncle Ning Yuan and Li Zunzu (Uncle Ning Yuan's family still has some useful servants who can be around the army).
Realm), he suddenly stood up, the expression on his face was one of surprise and joy.
To his surprise, Jiannu came to kill him!
Chapter completed!
