Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji received a letter from Tian Chuyun, and then suddenly realized: After the Tartars retreated, the Ming Dynasty's orders might not be able to leave Beijing.

Although Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji realized it later, they had to think about the future of the Imperial Guard Corps.

Generals with a little ability, or generals who have led their troops to fight, are all sober realists. Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji certainly knew that the court had no strength to confront Lin Chunhong.

Moreover, military generals like Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji who have pursuits always hope to meet a wise commander, formulate practical combat plans, bring them one victory after another, and finally make great achievements in history. From this point of view, the two hope that the court will command them, or that Lin Chunhong will command them, which is self-evident.

However, Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji were loyal and made them openly betray the court and even turn around to fight against the court. This was obviously impossible.

For the two, the best result was: the emperor was still the emperor, but Lin Chunhong led the court's major strategies.

If these thoughts are used to deal with Tian Chuyun's letter, the key point is whether the court recognizes Tian Chuyun's practice.

Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji were unable to decide, so they finally decided to make the decision by the military supervisor Chen Kui. Chen Kui was originally the representative of the emperor, so who could be more suitable to decide this matter than Chen Kui?

Chen Kui did not hesitate as much as Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji, and decided readily: in the name of inquiring about the news, he sent a military officer to the Polu camp.

After receiving the letter, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and Cao Bianjiao certainly did not dare to make a decision without authorization, and kicked the ball to Hong Chengchou at the feet of the two sides.

Hong Chengchou has been in the officialdom for half his life, and his political sensitivity will only be stronger than Chen Kui. People like Hong Chengchou are quick-minded and smooth. They are neither full of the idea of ​​being loyal to the king and the country like Lu Xiangsheng, nor do they regard fame and fortune as dirt like Sun Chuanting.

Hong Chengchou has fought on the battlefield for more than ten years, suffered countless hardships and worried countless times, and of course he has put the pursuit of fame and fortune first. If he can accompany Guangbiao in history, it would be even more perfect.

The court is in danger, and even if it can continue, it cannot continue to provide a stage for pursuing fame and fortune!

At the same time, Hong Chengchou was afraid of the infamy behind him and did not dare to be openly detrimental to the court.

After considering the left and right, Hong Chengchou replied to the three generals: knowing the enemy and knowing oneself, and he will never be defeated in a hundred battles; knowing oneself without knowing oneself, and one will lose one after another; not knowing oneself without knowing oneself, and he will be defeated in every battle.

Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and Cao Bianjiao were all rough people, and they most likely didn't understand what Hong Chengchou meant. However, they all had masters who caught pens. After some interpretation, the three generals ordered that in the name of inquiring about the news, one of them would be sent to the Polu camp.

Tian Chuyun was overjoyed when he saw that all the four generals had sent to join the army.

During the military discussion, Tian Chuyun made a little discussion, and then directly announced the combat plan:

On the Liaodong Peninsula, the Jinwu Army put pressure on Yaozhou (now Yingkou). In fact, long before the Qing Dynasty's Tatar army headed south, Zheng Fulin closed the trade around Lushun and Fuzhou, and raised troops to the north.

Zheng Fulin's offensive was very fierce, and he surrounded Gaizhou with lightning speed. Three days later, he broke the city and entered Gaizhou.

The north of Gaizhou is full of terrain, suitable for cavalry to gallop. Huang Taiji ordered Duoduo to lead 7,000 cavalrymen to circulate with Zheng Fulin on the plain, and both sides were coming and going, fighting each other happily.

In Xuanfu and Ulanqab front line, Tian Chuyun ordered the Imperial Guards to escort 5,000 stones of grain and grassland archers to Guyuan, gathered the Wuwei Army and the grassland archers, and took Zhang Fengyi as the commander. The two units were supporting each other and advanced together, waiting for an opportunity to attack the Tatars' retreat from the west.

On the Ji Liao front line, Tang Tong, Cao Bianjiao, and Bai Guangen were cautious in defending the defense line, and the First Army and the Second Army of Xiongwei Legion came out of the defense line from Longjing Pass and Qianziling respectively, and launched mobile wars in battalions, regardless of the gains and losses of each city and land, aiming to eliminate the living forces of the Tartars and destroy supplies.

Hong Chengchou was the first to learn about Tian Chuyun’s combat plan, and couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I don’t want to, I’m really powerless!”

Hong Chengchou fought much more battles than Tian Chuyun. Of course, he knew that defending the Qing Tartars with Guanwang was not the best choice.

The Qing Dynasty Tartars had many artillery on hand, and the role of closing walls had been greatly reduced. In addition to extending the preparation time for the Tartars' offensive and allowing the defenders to have a certain advantage in the terrain, they could no longer play a decisive role.

Therefore, the best defensive measure is of course to intersperse widely in the movement to create fighter jets to eliminate the Tartars.

Hong Chengchou wanted to get this, but he did not dare to put it into practice. He suspected that once he ordered his troops to conduct interspersed battles, he might have to run away the team without waiting for the Tartars to attack.

Tian Chuyun obviously has considerable confidence in the intelligence, physical strength and command system of the Xiongwei Legion. Moreover, Hong Chengchou believes that the Xiongwei Legion does have such ability.

Tian Chuyun could send troops out of the border wall to face the Tartars, and also handed over the rear route to him. Of course, Hong Chengchou had no need to object, so he ordered his subordinates to release Longjing Pass and Qianziling and let Xiongwei Legion go north.

After Sun Yingyuan learned about Tian Chuyun's plan, he was wondering where the food and grass came from. Suddenly, Huang Bo sent someone to ask for a meeting and said that the five thousand stones of food and grass had been prepared and was in Xuanfu City, asking Sun Yingyuan to send troops to move as soon as possible.

Sun Yingyuan was shocked and sent someone to look at it. He found that Huang Bo had already hoarded nearly 10,000 stones of grain and grass in Xuanfu through merchants. Sun Yingyuan felt relieved and ordered the Imperial Guards to escort the grain and grass to Guyuan, waiting for Zhang Fengyi to approach Guyuan.

The Xiongwei Legion crossed Hong Chengchou's defense line, obviously caught off guard by Jirgalang's surprise and suffered a great loss. When Jirgalang woke up and sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress Xiongwei Legion, the Xiongwei Legion and the Tartars circled around the mountains.

The predecessor of the Xiongwei Legion, Xiongwei Camp, was the army of the mountains and ridges of Badong, and had a good tradition of mountain combat. Later, after the Xiongwei Legion arrived at Xianxia Pass, it started mountain combat training from time to time. Moreover, their commander Tian Chuxin was a master of long-distance raids and sports warfare.

How did the Tartars be the opponent of the Xiongwei Legion? Under the continuous mobilization of the Xiongwei Legion battalion-level system, they were exhausted. The Xiongwei Legion created several more fighter jets, giving the Tartars a devastating blow.

Jirgalang was unable to do so, so he had to ask Oboi and Junta to temporarily withdraw their troops and break off contact with the side wall.

At the same time, Zhang Fengyi led the Wuwei Army and cooperated with the Imperial Guard Army to support each other, crossed Guyuan, and pressed from the west, vaguely threatening the Tatars' retreat.

Jiergalang reported to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji ordered Jiergalang to withdraw his troops.

Since then, Jiergalang plundered all the Jiliao area and quickly retreated back to Liaodong.

The withdrawal of the Tartars was a good start in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. However, the court was filled with sorrow and mist without any intention of celebrating.

The situation was still serious. After the Tartars retreated, the First Army and the Second Army of Xiongwei Regiment retreated and stopped at Longjing Pass and Qianziling respectively, while the Third Army was stationed outside Jizhou City, without the intention of moving a nest.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of protecting the food road, the Tiger Roar Legion stationed in Xianghe, Baodi, Sanhe and other places. The people in the capital could even vaguely hear the neighing of the Tiger Roar Legion's horses.

Of course, the imperial court could order subordinate troops to attack the Jingzhou army. Regardless of whether they can fight or not, it is still worth discussing whether these troops obey orders.

It is no wonder that the court had such suspicion. After all, these troops did not receive orders from the court some time ago, and cooperated closely with Tian Chuyun and achieved a lot of military achievements.

Just when the court was at a loss, Yang Yiren once again proposed a proposal to join the military joint.

This joint agreement is not the joint agreement between the other party. In the past, Yang Yiren only focused on resisting the invasion of the Tartars, but this time, Yang Yiren focused on the entire Ming Dynasty!

Yang Yiren divided the entire land armed forces of the Ming Dynasty into three levels.

The lowest level and the most basic one are of course the archers scattered in every corner. The archers come from the lowest level people. They train, patrol, maintain rural public order during the slack season, play a role in rural autonomy to a certain extent, and provide excellent soldiers for the rest of the armed forces.

Correspondingly, each county sets up archery offices, each prefecture sets up archery offices, each province sets up archery offices, and finally the Ming military-controlled organs are unified in the jurisdiction.

At the middle level, the local garrison troops are located. Each province garrisons in strategic locations or large cities with large populations according to different situations. The local garrison troops are mostly equipped with light weapons and deploy a small number of artillery and war horses, which are mainly used to deal with various unexpected situations in their jurisdiction.

The advanced level is of course the elite field army spread all over the Ming Dynasty. The field army is divided according to its nature, including Hu Xiao, Wu Wei, Tianwu, Cavalry, Xuanwu, Jinwu, Jingguo, Imperial Guard, Ji Liao, and other nine legions, plus the Divine Blade Army, belonging to the plains, deserts, grassland field army, responsible for the defense of North China, Western Regions, grasslands, and Liaodong, and protecting the interests of the Ming Dynasty deep into the grasslands, deserts and Liaodong.

The three legions of Tiance, Shenwei, and Xiaowei, as well as the Beiwei Army, belong to the jungle and mountain field army, responsible for the defense of the southwest, South China and other places, and extended the interests of the Ming Dynasty beyond Yunnan, Jiaozhi and Guangnan.

Xiongwei, Shenji, and Pili Legions are responsible for the defense of the Southeast and the hinterlands of the Central Plains. If necessary, they can serve as mobile forces to provide support to all directions.

The Dragon Guard and Dragon Tiger Legions belong to the Marine Legion, belong to the Navy, and are responsible for the defense of the Nanyang area.

These contents are fine. What made the court most heartbroken was that Yang Yiren proposed to establish the Privy Council in the Ming Dynasty, as the only military commander, govern all armed forces and issue combat orders.

The Privy Council established a Privy Councilor to be responsible for mobilization, logistics, military affairs, military affairs and other affairs, and to govern the daily construction and operation of all armed forces.

At the same time, the Privy Council also established a joint military agency within the Privy Council, with several personnel sent by major armies and major naval fleets to participate, responsible for formulating combat plans at the battle level and war level and issuing combat instructions.

As for whom the Privy Councilor was responsible to whom the Joint Office of the Military Joint Commission was responsible, Yang Yiren did not say it clearly, but everyone understood that the Privy Councilor, the Joint Commissionor, could only be responsible to Lin Chunhong.

Just when the court was disappointed that Lin Chunhong tried to seize the military power of the court, Zheng Mengfan, Zheng Hongkui, Hong Qiyun and other Guanglu officials jointly issued a proposal to the court and Jingzhou: "Revision of the Central Restructuring of the Ming Dynasty".
