Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 404
Then the Ming army didn't take too much at night, and it doesn't matter if the Daqing Tanma side loses, it's okay, just retreat a little bit, make room, and at the same time, it can be regarded as showing weakness to the enemy, so that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can feel the strength of his side But that's all.

Thinking this way, Jierhalang sent another order, Tanma gradually retreated, the whole army began to prepare for battle, and the Ming army was about to leave the pass!

However, the hematemesis happened again, and the Ming army’s Ye Bu received a large-scale increase. A large area on the grassland was shielded by the Ming state. However, the so-called imperial conquest by the emperor of the Ming state was not seen, and he was still shrunk in Yulin. What about the town?
Jierhalang had to send more scouts to intrude near the border to inquire about the situation.Before the news came back, the leaders of those Mongolian tribes couldn't take it anymore, and came to see Jierhalang again, pleading bitterly, saying that their food and grass were really not enough, and hoped that the Qing Dynasty could provide some support.

Jierhalang had nothing to do about this, saying that he didn't have enough food and grass here, and he might have to collect it from them later!Since there is not enough here in Guihua City, we can just transfer more from the tribe.

In this regard, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes all cried. If there are still in the tribe, then there must be no problem.But the key point now is that the tribe can't survive anymore, and they all count on this side to quickly defeat the Ming Emperor's army, so that they can enter the pass to rob.

At this time, Azig went out again.Roaring loudly, as if wanting to eat people, a big battle is imminent, if anyone dares to lose the chain, he will recognize them, but the knife in his hand will not recognize them!
Then, Ji Erhalang came forward to appease them and said: "This king has already said that there is indeed not much food in Guihua City. Please bear with me, and it will be fine after this battle."

This time, the leaders of the Mongolian tribe did not die down because of their red faces and white faces.

Are they afraid of Azig?Of course I'm afraid!However, there is really not enough food, there is no way, the Mongolian leader mustered up his courage, and tentatively said: "Or, send a fast horse to chase that team back, and there is no need to exchange food for the elite of the Qing Dynasty. We are enough." , as long as we can eat and drink enough, we will definitely defeat the Ming army by ourselves!"

"That's right, as long as we can eat and drink enough, we can definitely kill the Ming army by ourselves!"

"..."

Of course Jierhalang knew that the team they were referring to was the team under Chai Shihua's department that escorted the population and supplies to Liaodong.This is of course impossible, because it was not at all to exchange for the elite of the Qing Dynasty, but to send it to Liaodong, to sort of solve the predicament of Liaodong.

Regarding the insistence of these leaders of various Mongolian ethnic groups, Ji Erhalang had to lower his face and said: "The military order has been issued, how can we go back on our word? Now is the critical moment before the decisive battle. Whoever can persist will win the battle." War. Grit your teeth, what we want is a big victory, not a defeat! That's all this king said, I hope you don't let me down!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the back hall, and left!

Seeing this, Azig threatened them again, and then left too.

On the contrary, Ying Erdai was a good person and comforted the leaders of these Mongolian tribes: "Prince Zheng has said before that we are suffering, and the Ming army is also suffering. To tell you the truth, according to the news in the pass, there are many disasters in the pass. There is also an urgent need for food, and the gathering of the Ming army consumes countless money and food. You are in a hurry, but the emperor of Ming is more anxious than you. I am sure that the emperor of Ming will lead the army out of the customs in the near future. Be patient, be patient Bar!"

That's all there is to say.The leaders of the Mongolian tribe looked at each other, shook their heads and went back with a sigh.They can only pray to Changshengtian in their hearts, hoping that the situation on the Ming side is really like what the Qing side said!

In fact, they guessed correctly, Daming is really short of food and supplies.It is true that on the one hand, it is necessary to fight against disasters, and on the other hand, when the army is assembled, although it does not need to consume food for preparations like Guihua City, when there are more people, it will indeed consume a lot of food.

No, the governor of Yansui, who has been watching the logistics, mentioned this matter to Emperor Chongzhen worriedly: "Your Majesty, the army has gathered, and the food and supplies have been consumed for less than a month. Do you want to order food from various governments?" ?”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "No, in terms of food, we guarantee that the supply will not be collected during the night of the battle, and the rest of the army can be consumed as usual!"

"Your Majesty, this is not the way!" Governor Yansui couldn't help but reminded, "The consumption of food is already done like this."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued with doubts: "Your Majesty, I don't know when to leave the customs? Winter is about to begin. Once snow falls on the grassland, the army will not be able to march, and the war will be delayed until the end of the war." Next year!"

At this time, it was already the beginning of October, but it was still some time before the grassland snowed.Governor Yansui's statement was to count the time it took for the army to enter the grassland and then withdraw, and felt that the time was a bit tight.

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen still just smiled and said: "I know, I hope that the snow on the grassland will be heavier and come earlier this year. As for the issue of food and grass, you don't have to worry, I have already made arrangements!"

Hearing this, Governor Yansui was stunned for a moment. It turned out that the emperor had already made arrangements, so he said no more and had to go and do it himself.

The generals gathered in Yansui always thought that they would leave the customs soon, but they waited and waited, even if they didn't see the customs, they were a little confused, and they didn't know how many times they guessed in private. What kind of medicine do you sell?

They have completely forgotten about the importance of soldiers and speed.The emperor is stationed in Yulin like this, and he never sends troops. Could it be that the enemies on the grassland will attack by themselves?This is impossible!Jianlu is not a fool, no matter how many people come here, it is impossible to defeat the Yulin Town where the army gathers!
Later, they slowly came to a conclusion, could it be that the emperor really had no good way to deal with this battle, so they kept procrastinating?
Thinking about it, it must be the case, because they can't figure out how to win this battle!Can the battle of scouts alone last until the Year of the Monkey?

Just as they were puzzled, on this day, a fast rider suddenly galloped up, and at the same time reported victory loudly: "Marshal Wu, the commander of the aid and suppression army, was ordered to go out of the pass, defeated the rebel general Chai Shihua, killed a thousand enemies, and captured a thousand." , rescued more than [-] people of the Ming Dynasty, and won countless food and supplies!"

The soldiers of the Ming army were doing nothing, when they heard the news of such a great victory, they were all shocked.

"Hey, when did this happen, why did the war start?"

"Isn't Marshal Wu in Datong? He sneaked out?"

"I told you that you are worried too much. If the emperor is not sure, how can he lead the conquest? The battle of the grassland is indeed a difficult problem for you and me, but the emperor must have a solution, see Bar!"

"..."

The public opinion in Yansui Junzhen was completely reversed almost as soon as the news of the victory appeared.Those who had doubts because of the particularity of the grassland warfare had no doubts anymore.

It can be said that in this battle, everyone couldn't think of a way to win, and then saw that Emperor Chongzhen had not moved for a long time, so that they all began to wonder if the wise and mighty emperor had nothing to do?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen also knew about this situation, but he didn't explain it in a word or tell anyone. Directly speaking with facts is the most authoritative statement.

I believe that after this slap in the face, even if they encounter a battle that seems impossible to win in the future, at least the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the Qin and Jin Dynasties will never have doubts about the emperor again, and will firmly believe that the Emperor Chongzhen will make a move. You will definitely win.

Facing the general soldiers and governors from all walks of life in the hall, Emperor Chongzhen said to them at this time: "General Wu's side has escorted food and grass supplies, and the army's food and grass supplies have been settled. A little tighter, until next year. No problem. Jianlu has already lost this battle!"

Hearing this, Zheng Chongjian, the highest-ranking governor of the three sides, immediately came back to his senses, and couldn't help but said with great joy: "Your Majesty, is this battle a logistical battle?"

He has been in Shaanxi for a long time, so he naturally knows something about the situation of the grassland tribes.Knowing that the grassland tribes only know how to herd, they depend on the sky for food more than the farming tribes.Every autumn, they had to enter the Customs to fight grass valley, hoping to grab some supplies for the winter.

Speaking of which, sometimes the Mongol Tartars are not willing to enter the customs to fight grass valley.Especially when their combat power is not strong, they will often be beaten by the Ming army in the pass when they enter the pass to fight Caogu.But, there is no way, if you don't grab it, it will be a problem for the tribe to survive the winter.Grab the best, if you can't grab it, consume the population, and you can also survive the winter.

I have to say that nature is sometimes cruel to grassland tribes!

This time, Jianlu sent more than 1 cavalry troops to Guihua City, and all the food and supplies were borne by the surrounding grassland tribes.This is definitely a very big burden for the grassland tribes.But before winter, this situation is not obvious.

Especially later, Jianlu, led by the rebel general Chai Shihua, ambushed the northwest of Daming and robbed a lot of things.

In this way, after the grassland tribes got the stolen goods, they could still make up for the extra losses they had paid. Maybe they can survive this winter.

However, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial conquest would definitely not be possible for the grassland tribes.

Zheng Chongjian could guess these situations, of course, after the fact.But what he didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen knew that the Jianlu of Guihua City would escort the population and materials looted from the northwest of Daming to Liaodong, and let Wu Sangui go and rob them halfway.

Between this increase and decrease, the balance of both sides of the war immediately tilted.

At this time, even if Jianlu of Guihua City knew how Emperor Chongzhen was going to deal with them, they had nothing to do with it.It can be said that the next step is Yangmou, which is concerned with food and materials as the key.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the bottom, and after knowing what had happened, the civil servants and generals were all convinced and cheerful, and had no doubts about the final victory of this battle, so he also smiled and said: "Next, let's look at the hussars battalion. There should be more cavalry in rotation every day, so as to put the greatest pressure on the Jianlu until they collapse internally!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Dawei and He Renlong, the two commanders of the hussar battalion, immediately dealt with it, accepted the order with clasped fists, and responded loudly: "General, I will obey!"

When others clear the grasslands, they are fighting to the death. In the end, there are often great risks. They may run out of food and grass, they may not be able to find the enemy, they may get lost, etc.However, the emperor led the crusade and only stayed in Yulin Town. While talking and laughing, the Mongolian alliance between the captives was bound to break up.Without food and grass, if they don't roll back to Liaodong in despair, they will be destroyed.

Civil officials like Zheng Chongjian thought a little more.

In the past, such a war could cost countless money and food.If the number of enemies eliminated is not enough, the loss outweighs the gain.

However, although the emperor's personal conquest has consumed a lot of food, he has snatched food from Jianlu, and finally this time the personal conquest of the emperor has become a war that consumes little money and food.This kind of ability is not easy for ordinary famous generals to do.However, the current emperor has done it.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's strategy for dealing with the grassland Tartars can be made public, and it will not affect the war. Even after letting ordinary soldiers know, they can know what is the key to this battle and know that this battle must be won. Therefore, this strategy As soon as the news spread, the city of Yulin was filled with joy, as if it was New Year's Eve.After this battle is over, there should be no military incidents along the Great Wall for a very long time!
As a result, even the soldiers of the Daming Cavalry who took turns leaving the customs all had their morale boosted a lot.This in turn affected the scout battle between the two armies, and made Jianlu's scouts feel tremendous pressure.

However, the pressure on Jianlu to visit the horse was not as great as that of their coach Jierharang.

When he was worried about how long this war would last, Chai Shihua and Xilin Jueluo fled back one after another.

This time, it was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Jierhalang on the top of his head.Even though Jierhalang usually has a relatively deep city and a calm personality, but after knowing that the population and supplies sent to Liaodong were robbed by Wu Sangui's troops, his face was pale, he was stunned, and did not speak for a long time.

As for the leaders of the Mongolian tribe who came here after hearing the news, they were even thinking about the food and supplies. After knowing the situation, some of them were dumbfounded, like Jierhalang, while others were shouting. It was hard to believe this kind of thing happens.

Isn't he fighting for the consumption of food, betting that the emperor of Ming Dynasty can't afford it and will leave the customs immediately?But now it's all right, the Ming country has robbed so much food and supplies, how can they fight?
I don't know when the energy consumption in the Ming Dynasty will be exhausted, and my tribe can no longer survive!Don't talk about this winter, what to do in the next few months is a problem!

Among these people, Azig was the first to recover, and immediately became furious!
