Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 232

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had discussed with Liu Weichao how to fight this battle.

However, Liu Weichao also reminded him, saying that neither of them had actual experience in leading troops and fighting in war, they were just talking about it on paper.It is the safest way to gather generals who have experience in leading troops and discuss with them.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to this suggestion, and only then did this military meeting take place.And all the generals he trusted participated in the meeting.

Otherwise, with the pissing nature of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it is basically not for the generals to discuss such important military affairs, but for a group of civil officials to discuss.

The only difference may be whether the civil servants have experience in leading the army.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Sun Chuanting to discuss military affairs, and Zhou Yanru to discuss military affairs, both may happen, and the effect will be different.

At this time, after Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others all subconsciously turned their heads to look at Du Yinxi.Obviously, they believed that Du Yinxi should be qualified to answer the question of Emperor Chongzhen on their behalf.

Du Yinxi also took it for granted, so he replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "I think that the key to this battle is that Jizhou must hold on for about half a month, at least until the reinforcements arrive..."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly, affirming Du Yinxi.

Seeing this, Du Yinxi continued quickly: "Secondly, the warning message must be sent back to the capital as soon as possible, so that the Yongwei camp and the Beijing camp can provide reinforcements as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, he looked at the generals present, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "I think that in terms of military strength alone, the Jingying and Yongwei battalion will definitely defeat the Jianlu. There are three reasons!"

"Then three points?" Emperor Chongzhen subconsciously asked after hearing this.

When Du Yinxi heard this, he immediately answered, obviously thinking about it long ago: "First, the Jian captives must be exhausted when they come from a long distance, and the long-distance battle must not last long."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly.Because he thought that Jianlu's previous invasions of the pass did not come from afar, but they were like entering an uninhabited land. For this reason, it does not seem to prove that Jianlu can be defeated.

So, he interrupted Du Yinxi's words and raised this question.

When Du Yinxi heard this, he immediately replied: "I have carefully checked the details of Jianlu's previous invasions of the pass. The reason why, as your Majesty said, is that the elite of the imperial court are either stationed on the front line of Ningjin, or encircling and suppressing the bandits. The land did not have a strong army, so that at the beginning of the Jianlu invasion, the elites of the imperial court could not be dispatched in time, and the city was captured by the Jianlu and obtained supplies. In addition, the elites of the court at that time were also afraid of fighting the Jianlu due to various problems. As long as there is a The elite of the imperial court can fight Jianlu to the death and hold him back. Then the disadvantages of Jianlu coming from afar will definitely be exposed!"

Emperor Chongzhen had already revealed that the Jianlu would invade in the second half of the year. No matter whether it was true or not, he went to the capital and served as the chief of the Beijing camp. Naturally, he was very concerned about this matter. process.

The same is true, only Du Yinxi can talk freely at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded, sighed and said: "What Du Qing said is very true, the fact that the Jian captives can wreak havoc is because the imperial court has no elites to stop them!"

Having said that, he waved his hand again to let Du Yinxi continue.

Therefore, Du Yinxi continued: "Secondly, the Yongwei Battalion was originally the elite of the imperial court, an army that could fight to the death with Jianlu. Now, His Majesty is wise and equipped with excellent armor and ordnance, and the army has sufficient food and grass. Two more Because, even if there are new recruits in the army, I still think that the current Yongwei Battalion, as well as the Jingying Battalion, must be stronger than the previous Yongwei Battalion. In this way, it is not difficult to win a simple battle against Jianlu!"

Hearing this, the three generals of the Yongwei Battalion subconsciously nodded with pride on their faces.

This time, without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask questions, Du Yinxi continued to say: "In addition, His Majesty ordered to keep it secret from the very beginning. In this way, in the eyes of Jianlu, he must not realize that the Yongweiying and Jingying The elite is far better than before. There is a saying in the art of war, knowing yourself and the enemy can win every battle, but Jianlu underestimates the court officers and troops, and he will suffer a big loss!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he laughed silently.

This is something he wanted to see at the beginning, because it was ordered a long time ago to keep it secret, and there are heavy guards on the side of the military battle bureau, and no one can enter or leave without Fang Zhenghua's handwriting.

When the Yongwei Battalion and the Beijing Battalion began to be equipped with flintlock guns for live ammunition training, they also began to be closed, and soldiers were no longer allowed to leave the camp.

All of these are in the hope of preserving the true combat power of the Yongwei Battalion and the Beijing Battalion, so that the enemy will suffer a big loss by being caught off guard.

Du Yinxi waited for a while to make Emperor Chongzhen happy, and then he continued: "Therefore, as long as Jizhou can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, then this battle will be won, and I have no doubt about it. But to achieve The only thing that needs to be considered about the battle situation His Majesty mentioned is that there are unexpected circumstances."

"What kind of accident?" Emperor Chongzhen asked immediately after hearing this.

After Du Yinxi heard this, he continued to report to him: "First, the beacon tower must be unobstructed, and be able to send back the warning of Jianlu's invasion to the capital at the first time, and it is even better to send it back to the Jianlu in the first time." In this case, we must monitor the Beacon Tower in the capital, and make sure it works!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said: "It's okay. I sent someone to verify it a few days ago, and asked the beacon tower to be vigilant and send a message at any time. After the person comes back, I will send someone to verify it. In short , to ensure that the Beacon Tower can pass on the warning message smoothly!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Du Yinxi immediately replied after hearing this.

After hearing this, the others, including Zuo Maodi and those generals, also echoed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hand to signal Du Yinxi to continue.

When Du Yinxi saw it, he continued to play: "Secondly, I am afraid that Jianlu will not attack Jizhou, so I will attack other cities and plunder supplies to supplement the needs of the army. Therefore, I think that the land of Jingji Cities, especially along the Great Wall in the north, must also be prepared to defend themselves firmly, so as not to give Jianlu the opportunity to replenish supplies, it can also reduce the court’s losses.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled again.Because of this, when he discussed with Liu Weichao, he had already discussed it.It was also for this reason that he passed on Zuo Maodi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to participate in this meeting.

Originally, if no one mentioned it, he would have said it himself.

However, Du Yinxi also thought of this now, so he took the opportunity to say: "Zuo Qing, the Ministry of Officials, in the name of assessing the local officials in the capital, sent people to inspect the prefectures and counties to verify the combat readiness and city defense. The government can stick to it for a while! But we can’t reveal what Jianlu will commit at the end of the year.”

When Zuo Maodi heard this, he suddenly realized that it was because of this that the emperor asked him to come.

So, he quickly received the decree and said: "My minister obeys the decree!"

Participating or not participating in this military meeting will definitely have an impact on his confidence in deploying the staff of the bureaucracy to prepare for the battle.

When other people saw this, they couldn't help admiring Emperor Chongzhen. Obviously, they realized that Emperor Chongzhen had actually thought of it, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials would appear here.

After hearing Zuo Maodi's words, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look at Wang Chengen and Li Ruolian in front of him, and ordered them to say: "The factory guards should also send people down separately, don't reveal their identities, verify Readiness of state capitals."

This can be regarded as two lines, one bright and one dark, just to ensure that the people below really do it!
It's not that Emperor Chongzhen's suspicions are serious, it's that he has been harmed a bit too much by this kind of obedience and transgression.It can be said that the Emperor Chongzhen at this time did not believe that the local government could follow his will.It can be said to be an example of being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of well ropes!
"The slaves obey the orders!"

"The commander's decree!"

Hearing the words of the admiral of the East Factory and the Commander of Jinyiwei, Zuo Maodi felt a little uncomfortable, but only slightly.After all, this was the emperor's confession in front of him, that is, he did not hide it from him.

This and doing it behind his back still made him feel a little better.

Emperor Chongzhen obviously did not comfort him or explain anything, because he is the emperor and there is no need to do so.

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look around the crowd, and then asked with a serious expression: "I will say it again, this time against Jianlu, we must not only win, but also win a big victory with great pride! What do you think you need to do?" ? As long as I can do it, I will say it and prepare more."

He couldn't let God rain meteors and fire to kill Jianlu, even with the help of immortals.However, for other things, as long as it can increase the winning rate of this battle, he will definitely do it.

If the king of Chu Zhuang doesn't make a name, he will be a blockbuster!
The same is true for me, Emperor Chongzhen. A battle against the captives will definitely shock the world!
Feeling the decisiveness of Emperor Chongzhen, the people present looked at each other, wondering what else needs to be added?
After a while, Yuan Shizhong, who hadn't spoken all the time, felt a little lack of confidence, and said, "Your Majesty, the general has an idea!"

He really didn't have much experience of this kind of scene, don't look at the thick and thick, but he is still a little timid.

After all, he was born as a commoner and became a thief, but now he is discussing matters with the Chinese officials and generals of the court, and with the current emperor.This change is so big, it is a bit much!

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Yuan Shizhong, who had been silent all this time, also spoke, seemed to have some additional thoughts, and was very happy, so he said in an encouraging tone: "If Yuan Aiqing has any thoughts, feel free to tell me!"

Du Yinxi had the best relationship with Yuan Shizhong, after all he was the one who recruited Yuan Shizhong.Therefore, when he heard the sound, he turned his head and looked over, his eyes were full of encouragement.

Yuan Shizhong heard the words of Emperor Chongzhen and felt the encouragement of Du Yinxi. After seeing the three famous generals in the capital camp, he expressed his own opinion.
