Chapter 684 Countermeasures

It is true that the emperor was discussing the important matter of fighting against the prisoners. He himself did not know what he was thinking, but he deserted.

This is the common sentiment of the ministers in the Wenhua Palace. As for those far away in other places, they naturally don't know. Wang Cheng'en and Liu Xingzuo who conveyed the message will not tell them that the emperor is in a daze. Those of them were a little strange at best, why no information came through.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the faces of his ministers, and he could guess a little bit of their thoughts. I guess I have been meditating for too long! Haha, who calls me the emperor? What's wrong with being in a daze? What's more, I'm not in a daze!

Thinking at random, he suddenly smiled and said: "I have decided, no matter what conspiracy and conspiracy Jianlu has, our Ming Dynasty only needs to follow the method that is most beneficial to Ming and least beneficial to Jianlu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't expect the emperor to say such words after being in a daze, which meant that he had been thinking about this matter. To put it this way, the emperor was wrongly blamed!

With this thought in mind, Wen Tiren first asked: "Your Majesty, what is the most unfavorable way to build the Ming Dynasty and the best way to benefit the Ming Dynasty?"

Other ministers were also paying attention, wondering what good idea the emperor had come up with?

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen stated his thoughts, and then emphasized: "My dear friends, please don't forget that the most lacking thing for Jianlu is food. When the army moves, Bi Qing should know how much food and grass will be consumed... "

Bi Ziyan nodded, thinking in his mind, Jianlu had to consume food, but Ming Dynasty also had to consume food! Fortunately, a lot of food was snatched from Jianlu this time. It was considered as using Jianlu's food to consume Jianlu's food, which was okay!

"... Therefore, no matter what happens here in Jinzhou, we must fight the battle of Gaizhou. The new army is the strong army of our Ming Dynasty, and it must be used here. And after the Jianlu were recovered by our Ming Dynasty in Gaizhou, they will inevitably We have to fight back, otherwise when we, the Ming Dynasty, gain a firm foothold, the consequences will not be something Jianlu can bear!" Emperor Chongzhen spoke resolutely, saying categorically, "As for Jinzhou, since it's on your lips, let's eat it. Okay. I don’t believe it anymore. With Jianlu’s little wealth, how can we support it to fight on two fronts!”

After he finished speaking, Cao Huachun immediately said: "Lu Zhongcheng thinks that your majesty's plan is wonderful and is closely linked with the previous plan. He can guarantee that Jianlu cannot afford to attack Gaizhou, let alone Talk about sending another army to attack Jinzhou!"

Lu Xiangsheng was the executor of a series of previous battles against the captives, so he knew how heavy a blow those battles would have on Jianlu. It was also for this reason that he was the first to express his agreement.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao immediately expressed his intention and expressed his firm support for the emperor's decision. Why not just defend Gaizhou? There is no problem!

After hearing this, the ministers in the palace immediately imagined that according to what the emperor said, maybe by next year, not only Jinzhou would be recovered, but they became excited when they thought about it. For them, the recovery of Liaodong seems to be more promising than imagined and will be realized sooner!

Ning Yuan, Sun Chengzong and others were listening to Liu Wang's recounting of the contents of the imperial meeting, and Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but be filled with emotion. He remembered the time before, when he didn't want Cao Bianjiao to give up his official position in Guan Ning's army, leave his protection, and participate in the selection of a new army. It was Cao Bianjiao who insisted on going and insisted on his own opinion, and finally forced himself to agree.

Now it seems that my nephew is still discerning! Although he was already the commander-in-chief of one side, he did not dare to say anything in this imperial meeting. But his nephew kept talking. In comparison, the Cao family was better than the others!

While he was distracted, several points of agreement had been reached at the imperial meeting.

1. The Gaizhou Campaign was launched and held by the New Army as usual according to the original plan.

Second, on the Jinzhou side, the Dongjiang Army is stationed. This winter, the Dongjiang Army no longer huddles on the island for the winter, but places its main force in Jinzhou.

Third, if Jianlu besieged Gaizhou but did not attack, and used his main force to attack Jinzhou, then Guanning's army would be dispatched to cooperate with Gaizhou's new army to attack from inside and outside, and defeat the enemy besieging Gaizhou in one fell swoop. If his troops were directed towards Liaoyang, then Jianlu would The captives will definitely come back to rescue them, and the siege of Jinzhou will be solved.

Fourth, if Jianlu leaves Jinzhou alone and only concentrates its main force to attack Gaizhou, if necessary, Lu Xiangsheng can lead the Hussars battalion to respond in Jinzhou. Guan Ning's army can also be dispatched to support Gaizhou and prevent Jianlu from attacking the city with all his strength.

This response plan, if replaced by the previous one, may not be easy to implement, and it is likely to become a paper idea. But now there are heaven-level secret agents who can communicate in real time between the three places, so that the three places can cooperate closely with each other. This response plan has the possibility of being truly executable!

The imperial meeting, which was held in the Wenhua Hall, finally ended with the final decision. When the ministers dispersed, everyone was excited. Everyone can see that as long as the purpose of this campaign can be achieved, the strength of Jianlu will be effectively consumed. Next year's war against the captives will greatly benefit the Ming Dynasty. The recovery of Liaodong is no longer just a matter of words!

Emperor Chongzhen watched them all exit the palace. In fact, he still had a trump card that he didn't reveal. Qian Fugui can also find out some of the news from Jianlu's side. If the battle really doesn't go well, you can also use means to force Horqin to stab Jianlu in the back.

But this is a last resort, and he doesn't want to do it just in case. After all, the main reason for Horqin's side was Hailanzhu's closeness to the Ming Dynasty, while Bu He's attitude was still a bit wavering, and he did not really lean towards the Ming Dynasty and could be used by the Ming Dynasty.

With the response plan in place, the new army also arrived in Lushun to rest and regroup, while the Dongjiang Army, which arrived earlier, all headed towards Jinzhou and began to consolidate the city's defenses. He went out everywhere at night, erasing Jianlu's traces in Jinzhou, and shielding Jianlu's detective horse from spying on Jinzhou.

From the intensity of the Ming army's persistence at night, Jianlu Tanma could infer some military information. After the feedback was sent to Shenyang, Huang Taiji was naturally secretly proud. He thought the Ming army had fallen into his plan, so he sent an order to Xiao Hei. The Jianlu on the other side of the mountain should not provoke the Ming army.

The Ming army is preparing for the battle before attacking Gaizhou. This will be a large-scale war. It must be fully prepared, with personnel and supplies in place, etc. During this period, there was no doubt that Duo had conflicts with Jianlu.

For a moment, Liaodong seemed to calm down. But both parties know that this is just the calm before the storm! In this confrontation, Huang Taiji concealed his purpose of dealing with domestic political enemies, while Emperor Chongzhen also concealed his intention to improve the status of military commanders.

The wheel of history is rolling forward!
