Chapter 53 Breaking the game
Walking on this empty royal road, with many eunuchs following him on both sides, Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood. He seemed to have a great family, but in fact he had very few resources and very little power at his disposal.
The Jianlu slaves have been defeated at the doorstep, but he still has to plan various arrangements for the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, so as to be able to lead a personal expedition and fight against the Jianlu slave chief Taiji, Yu Zunhua, and the Santunying area.
Opportunity.
Guarding such a fundamentally rotten Ming Dynasty was definitely not what Emperor Chongzhen wanted. Fighting and winning the battle against the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty was his only chance to break the situation.
If you win, no matter how heavy the price is, you will have a moral advantage in rectifying Beizhili with the remaining power of victory.
After losing the battle, Jianlu used the power of victory to plunder the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and rob the people of the Ming Dynasty. He trampled the last bit of dignity of the Ming Dynasty to the ground and ravaged them.
"Huang Taiji, I will never let you succeed in this battle." Thinking of the pros and cons of defeating this battle, Emperor Chongzhen stopped, looked up at the sky, and muttered with a cold expression.
"You want to rely on your victory in this battle to establish your prestige among the Jianlu, so as to satisfy your ambition to ascend the throne and become emperor. That is pure fantasy!"
At this stage, although Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Lao Nu, he has not fully grasped the general trend of establishing the Eight Banners. The big Beile Daishan, the second Beile Amin, and the third Beile Mang Gurtai still have a deep influence.
For the ambitious Huang Taiji, this was something absolutely intolerable.
Therefore, after he took over the throne of Jianlu Khan, he has been actively looking for opportunities, striving to make breakthroughs in the military, so as to establish his absolute majesty and integrate the Eight Banners of Jianlu.
Emperor Chongzhen, who understood this, would never allow such an opponent who should not be underestimated to achieve a military victory, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would face a greater threat.
"Huang Taiji, speaking of which, we are in the same environment, but I have encountered more troubles than you. This may be the trouble of a big family and a big business."
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated palace wall in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands hanging down, his eyes shining brightly, as if through the wall in front of him, he had crossed the geographical gap and saw his life and death enemy.
"I, a great landowner of the Ming Dynasty, and you, a slave owner of Jianlu, really need the opportunity to meet each other and exchange experiences in killing people."
Wang Chengen, who was not far away, saw his prince standing there, mumbling to himself, with a look of astonishment on his face. He subconsciously looked at the red wall, and saw nothing but dilapidation.
But how could Wang Chengen know what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking?
"Can't wait any longer!"
Huang Taiji, who was riding a horse hundreds of miles away, shouted solemnly with a solemn look on his eyebrows: "This must be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has made some decision in Shenjing.
Otherwise, by now, the Ming army from Shanhaiguan would not come to help Zunhua, and the Santun Camp would instead be stationed in Qian'an City. It would be wrong to say that there are no weird things here."
Fan Wencheng, who was riding by the side, frowned, thinking about what his great Khan said. In the current situation, apart from this possibility, there seemed to be no other possibility.
It's just that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has always been indecisive, suddenly seemed to have changed. This is not in line with common sense. Could it be that someone in the Ming court who they didn't know about was sitting in command of this battle?
"Great Khan, are you worried that Chongzhen might have some back-up plan?" Fan Wencheng, who was thinking deeply, bowed his head slightly to Huang Taiji with a respectful expression.
"Aren't you worried?"
Huang Taiji frowned, looked at Fan Wencheng and said: "For this current battle, I have mobilized all the elites I can.
If this attack on the Ming Dynasty fails to achieve the desired results, do you think Daishan and the others will just give up?
What is this Yuan Chonghuan doing? I have been waiting for him for so long, but he has not yet led his troops from Liaoqian. If he had not come to the pass, how could he have saved his life and made wrong predictions!"
Fan Wencheng was silent.
The current situation was indeed something they had not expected. Yuan Chonghuan had not yet led his troops to the pass, and the Ming army stationed at Shanhaiguan had not arrived before Yuan Chonghuan's reinforcements. This meant that all the previous deployments were in vain.
"Great Khan, if this is the case, you can order Belazig to unite the four banners on the left and the accompanying Mongolian soldiers to guard the direction of the three camps."
Fan Wencheng thought for a moment and said to Huang Taiji: "The Great Khan can personally unite the remaining banners and launch an offensive against Zunhua City. At present, all the banners of Dajin have built siege equipment, and the Ming army defending the city of Zunhua
Facing the siege of Dajin, our troops were demoralized, and the people of Zunhua City were even more demoralized.
Under the power of the Great Khan, we can defeat Zunhua City within ten days. If the Ming army still makes no move, then I, Dajin, can move to Santun camp with the power of victory!
If the Ming Dynasty knows such bad news, it will definitely become restless!"
"Ten days are too long!"
Huang Taiji said coldly: "Come here, send an order to Mang Gurtai and order him to take charge of his troops and command the battle to attack Zunhua City. Within three days, I will enter Zunhua City!"
"twitter!"
The accompanying soldiers of Baiyale responded immediately, and then rode at full speed to convey the order of their Khan.
"Chongzhen, I really didn't expect you to hide so deeply." Looking at Zunhua City in front of him, Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered.
"Before, he showed an indecisive attitude, but now I am leading the elite Eight Banners to attack your Ming Dynasty, but I am showing such a decisive side."
"Great Khan, do you think it was other ministers in the Ming court who advised Chongzhen to make such a move?" Fan Wencheng was still a little suspicious and frowned and said to Huang Taiji.
"I really can't believe that under such drastic changes, Chongzhen's son can make such a decisive decision. Isn't he afraid that Zunhua and Santunying will be conquered by Dajin?"
"No!"
Huang Taiji waved his hand and vetoed: "This Khan's intuition is not wrong. If he is really a minister of the Ming court and someone advises Chongzhen to do this, he will never do it to this extent.
It’s not like you don’t know Chongzhen’s previously indecisive character.
The main force of our Dajin army rested at Hanerzhuang and camped at Zunhua City. During this period, we broke through several important passes. There was such a big commotion, but in the past few days, we did not encounter a single Ming army rushing for reinforcements.
, which itself is wrong.
