Chongzhen Chat Group

Cao Bianjiao looked at the Jianlu Tanma scattered in twos and threes outside the city, with a sneer on his face, thinking to himself, come on, the show has just begun, I'm waiting for you to come and kill them!

With this thought in mind, he turned to face Gao Yingyuan who was standing behind him and ordered: "Report to the emperor that all our troops have withdrawn into the city without closing in at night, and Jianlu's patrol horse has appeared outside Gaizhou City."

Emperor Chongzhen had requested that the progress of the war must be reported to him immediately. Therefore, Cao Bianjiao would immediately report everything to him through Gao Yingyuan at every stage.

Emperor Chongzhen also put aside other things and focused on the Battle of Gaizhou. As long as this battle is fought successfully, Jianlu's national strength will be greatly depleted, and the New Army's passing through the battle of Jinpu Town in North Korea, coupled with the victory of the Gaizhou Battle, is enough to prove that the New Army's formation model is effective, and it can The Ming Dynasty promoted it throughout the army, thereby achieving the most important military reform.

Emperor Chongzhen's plan was to carry out other major reforms on the basis of taking control of the military. Some early policies that were not implemented smoothly could also be implemented by force.

For example, regarding the establishment of a maritime ban, judging from the current feedback from Governor He, we have encountered a lot of hidden resistance. Moreover, since the Fujian Navy was away, pirates became rampant again, especially those led by Liu Xiang, who continued to rob ships at sea. There is also the tax collection of the Municipal Shipping Department. Although it has not officially started to operate as envisioned, there is also a lot of overt and covert obstruction by local officials and squires.

Emperor Chongzhen himself believed that the matter of pirates was actually very easy to handle. Zheng Zhilong should not have any trouble. He has his Fujian navy at sea, Sun Chuanting has military power on land, and he has the trusted army he brought from Shanxi at his disposal. I don't believe that Liu Xiang and other pirates can turn the world upside down. Even worse, these pirates also harmed the interests of Portugal and the Netherlands, and they would definitely be happy to participate in the encirclement and suppression.

Unless one day, when the interests of Portugal and the Netherlands conflict with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, if they join the pirates, it is not certain whether the Fujian Navy, which relies only on Zheng Zhilong, can win. But until then, he will have other cards to play. If you can still be bullied by these Europeans while fighting in your own country, then you are really sorry for the opportunity you had to travel through time!

Thinking a little too far, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts turned back to the current battlefield in Liaodong. Further down, with the coldness of the Little Ice Age, it is very likely that the sea will be frozen, and even the Phi Island will be frozen. Therefore, there are not many people left on Pidao, and their understanding of North Korea's information is somewhat limited. Dorgon, a capable man who built the captives, is still there, and he also has a multi-banner force in his hands. I wonder how he will move?

Thinking of this, he reminded Lu Xiangsheng through the chat group to be wary of North Korean rebels. As he was talking, he heard the system prompts, and Hai Lanzhu sent a private message: "Your Majesty, your inference is really amazing! Huang Taiji indeed sent someone to ask our Mongolian tribes to send troops. You have to provide food yourself. If you can’t send troops, you can’t have less food. Otherwise, Jianlu will suspect that the tribe has connections with the Ming Dynasty and wants to betray Jianlu, which will definitely be the fate of the Aohan tribe!”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed secretly in his heart after hearing this. He had directly obtained the conclusion of Huang Taiji's imperial meeting. How could this inference not be powerful?

He was thinking about it, but before he could reply, he saw Hai Lanzhu sending another message in succession. He was obviously very excited and kept talking.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the surprised expression on Jianlu's messenger's face when he knew that our Horqin tribe had sent troops to the north made me extremely happy!"

"Also, and ah, I, Eqi Ge, agreed with my previous proposal, so I told the Jianlu envoy that our two families have such a good relationship, even if the elite goes out to fight, your requirements must be met. Therefore, I ordered two thousand old and weak people to prepare to go to the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty, don’t worry, I will go with you. I will attend every military meeting, and if anything happens, I will report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible! "

"..."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled happily. As Hai Lanzhu, she could probably participate in any level of military discussion. Even if she couldn't come forward, as long as Bu He came forward, she would definitely follow. In this way, everyone in Gaizhou City will know everything about Jianlu's actions. Haha, there will be greater certainty of winning this battle!

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Emperor Chongzhen replied to her. When praise is due, you still have to praise it.

At the same time, at Ningyuan Yamen, Sun Chengzong was talking to Zuo Yingxuan. I heard Sun Chengzong ask Zuo Yingxuan: "You defended very well in the battle of Changli. What do you think of the current battle in Gaizhou?"

"Lao Hui Ge, in fact, Changli's victory is due to the emperor's greatest contribution!" Zuo Yingxuan replied with admiration, "If the emperor hadn't come up with many good ideas and sent troops to rescue and defend the city alone, we would have won in the end. Negative, it’s hard to say!”

At this time, he naturally already knew that the person who gave the idea through Liu Wang was the current emperor. Facing the siege of more than 7,000 soldiers, all he could do was to mobilize the people and defend the city as a soldier.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was still watching, he knew that Mr. Ge still wanted to hear his experience in defending the city, so he pondered for a moment and then continued: "Now in the battle of Gaizhou, the new army will have to defend at least until the spring of next year. Although the material preparations are It’s enough, but if you have to defend it for such a long time without reinforcements, I think it’s still not easy!”

After a pause, he continued: "In my opinion, if we know how Jianlu will attack the city, know ourselves and our enemies, and our army can defend the city in a targeted manner, we can minimize the consumption of city defense. In this regard, my official I think it is necessary to test the general's judgment ability. We must judge Jianlu's true intentions from Jianlu's clues, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort in defending the city."

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong finally reacted. He nodded and agreed: "I think so too, but the new army commander Cao Bianjiao is Cao Wenzhao's nephew. He is very young, which is a bit worrying! What if it were replaced by Cao Bianjiao? Cao Wenzhao, I can feel relieved!"

At this point, he thought for a while and said to Wang Liu who was sitting there listening quietly: "Report to the emperor and explain what was discussed just now. Suggest to the emperor that over Gaizhou, every time Jianlu wants to attack the city When it comes, it’s best to convey the situation in as much detail as possible, so that we veterans can also make a judgment, which should be of some help to the new army commander!”

"Yes, Mr. Ge!" Mrs. Liu agreed in a low voice and entered the chat group.

What Sun Chengzong didn't expect was that in just a moment, Mrs. Liu would reply. She said: "The emperor said, Mr. Ge, don't worry. There are insiders on the Jianlu side, and their military discussions will be carried out first." It came all at once!”

There are 800 more recommendation votes, so I should pay them back in the evening.
