Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

After nightfall, the bunker hall is brightly lit.

As Chongzhen's presence, the bunker of the No. [-] gun platform on the Ninth Peak of Yunlong Mountain was expanded again, dug deeper and larger, with a length and width of ten steps, almost half the size of a basketball court.

In the center of the hall is a huge sand table.

What is imitated on the sand table is the mountains and rivers of Xuzhou.

Zheng Sen led people to add a lot of war games to the sand table.

Looking at the wargame model added to the sand table, the scholars of King Qin, generals of the frontier army, several eunuchs, Li Xiangjun, and Ruan Dacheng all surrounded the sand table with dignified faces.

Because Jiannu sent more troops to the Xuzhou battlefield to adjust food supplies.

Zheng Sen said: "My lord, if the Jiannu who arrived today didn't follow Dong Zhuo's example of going out at night and going in during the day, then the number of Jiannu gathered in the Xuzhou battlefield at this time is close to [-]!"

There were at least [-] Jiannu who came to Xuzhou for the first time.

This time, more than a hundred thousand were transferred, which added up to almost [-].

"[-], this is already very close to the limit of the army that Jiannu can recruit."

Chongzhen said: "The total number of slaves built is only [-], and the maximum number of real slaves that can be recruited is [-]. The Eight Banners Han Army plus Eight Banners Mongolia is at most about [-], and the Outer Fan Mongolia is almost [-]. There are [-] coats, but there are also a few women and children among them, so the coats that can be collected are about [-]!"

After this pause, he added: "Add two hundred thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand, and four hundred and fifty thousand is the limit."

Hearing this, Jin Shenghuan, Ma Huabao and other frontier generals didn't have any special reaction. These frontier generals have already scared Jiannu, and they have completely lost their offensive thinking.

But the eyes of those Prince Qin and Li Xiangjun lit up.

Zhu Cijiong blushed even more with excitement: "In addition to conscripting troops to Xuzhou, Jiannu will definitely need to keep some defenders in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and even Liaodong. This means that Beijing has become an empty city!"

"The empty city should not be there." Chongzhen said, "but there are some guards in the palace, and there are a small number of guards on the princes, county kings, and Baylor's mansion. The rest are the Han army and the coat, and there are not many. There will be too many, and all of these will definitely not exceed five thousand people!"

"Five thousand people!" said Huang Zongxi Chijie, who had been to Beijing once, "Across the nine city gates, there are only about [-] defenders at each gate, and even the battlements are not enough!"

Xu Yingwei immediately said: "In this case, you don't even need to build a large ladder, you can just set up a simple long ladder to attack the city and attack Beijing!"

Jin Shenghuan and other frontier generals were dumbfounded.

What's the meaning?Do you want to fight Beijing City together?
Are you all stupid?We are now being trapped in Xuzhou by Jiannu.

Even if we have the guts to attack Beijing, we can't fly out of the city with our wings, can we?
Wang Fuzhi, a scholar from Hunan, said, "It doesn't really matter whether we attack Beijing or not. As long as my Ming army appears outside Beijing and assumes the stance of attacking the city, Jiannu may have to retreat."

"That's it." Gu Yanwu, a scholar of Nanzhi, said, "Because Jiannu dare not take the risk of losing Beijing."

Zhang Huang, a scholar from Yin County, said: "So, as long as a large army appears outside Beijing, Jiannu's siege of Xuzhou will be broken by itself." …

Chongzhen nodded and said: "If you miss this time, Jiannu will no longer be able to send all the soldiers of the country to the south, and the Huanghuai defense line will be considered to be truly defended."

There was still half a sentence Chongzhen didn't say.

As long as the Huanghuai defense line is stabilized, he can slowly rectify the government, develop the economy and climb the technology tree, and after three to five years of accumulation, he can launch the Northern Expedition.

So the question now is, from which direction will the troops be transferred to Beijing?
The scholars of King Qin who surrounded the sand table expressed their opinions one after another.

Gu Yanwu said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Jingnan's ten frontier towns are all elite, and Xia Town is north of Xuzhou, so we can take advantage of Jiannu's unpreparedness to go north day and night."

Zhang Huang said: "No, Jingnan Hou's Ten Town Frontier Army once recreated slaves in the Xia Town War last year, so Jian Nu will definitely leave a team to monitor Xia Town, so Jingnan Hou's Ten Town Frontier Army unless Come out in full force, otherwise the number of troops dispatched will be small, and they will not be able to break through Jiannu's block at all."

After a short pause, he said again: "So the frontier army from Pizhou should be used!"

"That's right, use the frontier army from Pizhou." Xu Yingwei said loudly, "And you can't go northward along the canal, you have to go along the Yishui River through Yizhou to enter Qingzhou Prefecture. Qingzhou Prefecture is still under my Ming's control at this time. , so you can avoid Jiannu’s eyes and ears, cross Qingzhou Prefecture, then go north out of Jinan Prefecture, and go straight to Beijing!”

"At that time, our Da Ming soldiers suddenly appeared outside the city of Tianjin, and the Qing court would definitely be shaken."

"If there is no accident, the Jiannu who stayed in Beijing will definitely send their horses to Xuzhou for help."

Speaking of this, Xu Yingwei said again: "The slaves of Xuzhou will definitely come back to help every night."

"Hey, your methods are not safe. The frontier troops of the ten towns in Xiazhen are under the supervision of Jiannu, so aren't the frontier troops of the ten towns in Pizhou under the supervision of Jiannu?" Zheng Sen said, "I'm afraid it's the Lubu As soon as the hall led the army to set off, the Jiannu cavalry chased after him, do you think Lu Butang needs to bring a few towns of frontier troops with him to have the confidence to fight a field battle with Jiannu?"

The dozens of scholars present were suddenly dumb. The frontier soldiers of a few towns had the confidence, and the ten towns might not have the confidence.

After a while, Xu Yingwei frowned and asked, "Brother Damu, what's your opinion? Let's hear it."

Zheng Sen said: "I don't think the frontier troops in Xiazhen and Pizhou should move lightly, because if they don't move lightly, Jiannu needs to set aside enough troops to monitor these two frontier troops!"

Chongzhen nodded, Zheng Sen's judgment was still reliable.

There are [-] frontier troops in Xiazhen and Pizhou. Jiannu must set aside special troops to monitor them. Otherwise, the troops from Xiazhen and Pizhou will come to Xuzhou every now and then to make trouble, and Jiannu will never even think about farming.

……

At the same time, Dorgon also arrived at the gate of Xiangbaiqi.

Duo Duo ordered Wa Xing'a to move a screen, then pointed to the map of Xuzhou hanging on the screen, and introduced Duo ErGun's military strength and field deployment in Xuzhou.

"Brother Fourteen, come and see the map of Xuzhou."

"Zhengbai Banner is stationed in Xin'an Town, responsible for monitoring the Ming army in Pizhou."

"The Zhenghong Banner and Zhenglan Banner are stationed in Pei County, and are responsible for monitoring the Ming army in Xia Town."

"The Xianghong Banner is stationed in Dangshan, and is responsible for guarding against the puppet Shun army who invaded from Henan."

"The Xianglan Banner is stationed in Xiao County, and is responsible for guarding against the Ming army that may go north from Fengyang Mansion." …

"The Xiangbai Banner, Eight Banners Mongolian, and Eight Banners Han armies are responsible for blockading Xuzhou, and the Mongolian cavalry of the Outer Domain are responsible for protecting the farmland. As for the coated slaves, they only need to be responsible for farming."

"Between Xiaoxian, Dangshan, Peixian and Xin'an Town, at least [-] million mu of land is consumed, which is enough for more than [-] troops to coat and cultivate. Moreover, the land in Xuzhou is fertile and has been re-cultivated last year, so the output should not be high. Low, just one thing, if you want to catch more coats, it will be a bit troublesome."

"Because there are no civilians within two hundred miles of Xuzhou, but only the army."

From this deployment, we can see that it is not easy for Jiannu to farm in Xuzhou.

Because Xuzhou is really the place of the Four Wars, there are enemies in all directions, and the enemies in every direction should not be underestimated, and enough troops must be reserved to prevent their harassment.

It was also because of this that Dorgon couldn't make up his mind before.

Because the risk of farming in Xuzhou is too high, it is very likely that there will be no harvest.

But then again, even if Xuzhou's farms are really fruitless, Dorgon actually has a way to raise food, but it's not a last resort, he doesn't want to do it.

Because the price of doing so is too heavy.

It may even shake the foundation of the Qing court in Beizhi.

In this case, the hope of dominating the world will be gone.

While Dorgon was thinking, Dodo went on to say:

"Among them, I am most worried about the two directions of Dangshan and Xin'an Town."

"Because in the direction of Xin'an Town, in addition to the Ming army in Pizhou, we also need to guard against the hundreds of thousands of townspeople in Huai'an Prefecture."

"If Yan Yingyuan led the hundreds of thousands of towns in Huai'an Prefecture to help Xuzhou bravely, or if the puppet army from Luoyang also made a large-scale invasion, the two red flags plus the blue flag may not be able to stop it."

"I'm not worried that the two red flags and the Zhenglan flag will be defeated, but I'm worried that the two red flags and the Zhenglan flag have too few troops, and the strength of the Xiangyong and Puppet Shunjun in Huai'an Prefecture is at least more than [-]. If they can't be stopped Let the Xiangyong or Puppet Shun troops from Huai'an Mansion rush into the vicinity of Xuzhou, and a fire can burn our wheat."

Having said this, Duoduo said again: "Fortunately, the fourteenth brother came with the bordered yellow flag. With the thirty Niulu elites of the bordered yellow flag, plus [-] newly recruited Han troops, there will be no There is a problem, this time we will definitely be able to kill Chongzhen in Xuzhou, and we will definitely be able to ruin the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty in one battle!"

At this time, Hong Chengchou suddenly interjected: "Master, we still need to send a cavalry to patrol the embankment on the north bank of the Yellow River, to prevent the Ming army from digging the embankment on the north bank of the Yellow River. Even the Eight Banners troops stationed north of the Yellow River will be threatened."

"Ah?" Duoduo said in horror, "Dig the Yellow River? Minggou wouldn't be so mad, would he?"

"Don't be afraid of anything, just in case." Dorgon said, "Fifteenth brother, you are responsible for patrolling the embankment yourself. Don't make mistakes this time, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

"Hey!" Dodo knelt down on one knee and yelled.

……

In Yunlong Mountain.

Chongzhen asked: "So, Zheng Sen, what is your solution?"

Zheng Sen said: "Your Majesty, the student's opinion is to directly transfer the township warriors from Huai'an Prefecture to the north via Qingzhou Prefecture. After these township warriors have undergone the tempering of the Sanyang War, they already have a tenacious will and strong combat effectiveness. The students think that their combat effectiveness It has not lost to the border troops of the towns at all!" …

Hearing this, Jin Shenghuan and other generals looked a little unkind.

Who do you look down on, and actually say that Xiangyong's combat effectiveness can compare with our frontier army?If the Holy Majesty hadn't called to stop in Anqing Mansion back then, we would have killed all of you scholars long ago, let alone Xiangyong?

However, no military commander dared to speak out what was in his heart.

Because even a fool can see the majesty's preference for these diligent princes.

Besides, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to argue with these scholars?
As soon as Zheng Sen finished speaking, Huang Zongxi said again: "Brother Damu is still small."

"I'm out of character?" Zheng Sen refused to accept, "I don't know what advice Brother Taichong has?"

"Students think that my Ming Dynasty can force Jiannu to retreat without a single soldier." Huang Zongxian smiled, then pointed to the sand table and said, "Look at Luoyang, what is there in Luoyang?"

"There are more than [-] troops of Pseudo-Shun in Luoyang City!" Zheng Sen frowned and said, "Brother Taichong, you mean to send someone to persuade Pseudo-Shun to send troops? I'm afraid this is just your wishful thinking? If Pseudo-Shun is willing to send troops to help, How could they wait until today? When Duoduo divided his troops to loot Huai'an Mansion, Pseudo-Shun already sent troops."

"Brother Damu is ridiculous." Huang Zongxi waved his hand and said again, "If you want to send troops to help us Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that even a single soldier will not be willing to send out, but if you want to expand the territory for the pseudo-shun family , Pseudo-shun is bound to be unwilling to be left behind, especially the coach of Pseudo-shun in Luoyang is Niu Jinxing. If it can be taken easily, this person will definitely send troops!"

The entire bunker hall immediately fell silent, and everyone was thinking about the possibility of sending out troops in a false order.

Even Chongzhen was seriously thinking about the possibility of this proposal, because Huang Zongxi's analysis was really reasonable, and with the virtue of Niu Jinxing, it was really possible to send troops.

At this time, a weak voice sounded: "However, Xuzhou City is now completely surrounded, and even the waterway of the Yellow River has been blocked by Jiannu with forts, and naval warships can't get in. How should we pass the news on?" Go out, and then pass it on to Niu Jinxing, the pseudo-shun prime minister?"

A group of scholars were a little stunned.

Chongzhen also scratched his head subconsciously, this is really troublesome.

In the past few months of being blocked by Jiannu, Chongzhen did not know how many messengers he sent out, but in the end, without exception, they were all hunted and killed by Jiannu's Yebushou.

How did he know that the messenger was hunted down by Jiannu?
Because after Jiannu Yebushou hunted down the messengers of the Ming army, he would chop off his head and put it on a spear to show off to the Ming army. This is also a bad habit retained by Jiannu.

So it was really troublesome to send the letter out.

At this time, Jin Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you lead the cavalry to protect the messengers and forcefully break into the Jiannu blockade?"

"Inappropriate." Chongzhen waved his hand, "Jianu built a large number of docks along the blockade ditch, and the distance between the docks was no more than a hundred steps. The slaves have already rushed over, and then there will be a steady stream of horsemen from the Eight Banners Mongolia and Outer Domain Mongolia, and you will not be able to get out."

Jin Xuan didn't make a sound when he heard the words.

Because he really didn't have much confidence.

"Come here first tonight, go back and think about it."

Chongzhen said: "I always believe in a famous saying that there are always more solutions than difficulties. We have so many scholars, we can always think of ways to break through the blockade of slavery."
