The fifty-seventh chapter Chongzhen on soldiers (1)
Dear sages, Emperor Chongzhen needs support! Please recommend votes, monthly votes, and rewards!
…
In the absence of convenient communication facilities, clinging to military power would undoubtedly be a recipe for death. Emperor Chongzhen knew this very well.
But who should be given power and who should be given power is a profound knowledge, and even one decision can often trigger a collapse across the board.
"With Sun Qing in charge in Jizhou, I believe that Zhou Yuji and the others will be able to grasp the situation on the front line." Emperor Chongzhen said with a firm expression.
"The Yongwei Camp was created by me. How capable they are, Xu Qing and Zhou Qing also saw it at Anhua Temple.
What I want to say now is what the two Qing family members think about Yuan Chonghuan and what they think?"
In this special environment, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, could not be avoided no matter what. He had a profound influence on both the court and the public of the Ming Dynasty.
In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan was a big tiger!
From the cabinet to the Liao Dynasty, there were people who had a close relationship with him. He really had a group of staunch supporters based on his Ping Liao philosophy.
Wang Qia hesitated again and again, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "This... Your Majesty, I believe that if Yuan Chonghuan arrives at Shanhaiguan at this time, he will actively send scouts to the Qian'an City area to understand the actual situation.
At this time, I speculated in my mind that Yuan Chonghuan should have a lot of information. Zhao led the military command department to issue an order. After Guan Jinning's reinforcements arrived at Shanhaiguan, the military headquarters would rush to Qian'an City to strengthen the front-line defense of Yongping Prefecture.
As long as the east and west sides are defended, we, the Ming Dynasty, can firmly control it. Even if Jianlu invades Zunhua and Santun Camp during this period, we, the Ming Dynasty, will still have a certain advantage."
Wang Qia's story was considered the most optimistic situation in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen. Now he was worried that after learning about the current situation, Yuan Chonghuan would make radical measures for some of the ideas he had in his mind.
"Wang Shangshu, I have some different views."
Xu Guangqi frowned and said: "There is one important point that you have never understood. The origin of the current turmoil in the country is Yuan Chonghuan's wrong prediction and Jianlu's attitude towards Liao Qian.
Coupled with Yuan Chonghuan's proposal to reduce the defense of Ji Mi Yong San Xie, our Ming Dynasty did not have any extra troops and horses in the pass area, and they were dispatched outside the Great Wall defense line to give corresponding early warning.
Then we have to pay attention to one thing. After Yuan Chonghuan rushed from Ningyuan City to the front line of Shanhaiguan, we got a grasp of the current situation. Whether he would over-estimate whether His Majesty made the decision to stabilize order in the customs.
The corresponding adjustments and arrangements are actually aimed at his matter."
"..."
Wang Qia was silent, with a somewhat worried look on his brows. In fact, what Xu Guangqi said had been in his mind, but he didn't dare to think about it in detail.
No one in the court currently knows what the emperor's attitude towards Yuan Chonghuan is. If he trusted him, how could he frequently make corresponding arrangements along the route in the name of the Military Aircraft Department?
He asked Sun Chengzong to sit in Jizhou in the name of imperial envoy and take charge of the defense of the front, middle and rear guards. This was clearly a division of Yuan Chonghuan's power.
"What Xu Qing said is true!"
Emperor Chongzhen said sternly: "I have absolutely no intention of blaming Yuan Qing. Since the matter has already happened, it will be useless to pursue too much blame.
For the Ming Dynasty, the top priority now is to solve the Jianlu invasion and ensure the stability of the pass, so we have to carefully consider what we should do if Yuan Qing misunderstands me."
Emperor Chongzhen must deal with Yuan Chonghuan. For such a headstrong official who values reputation more than anything else and uses his power to force the imperial power, even if he does not kill him, he cannot be released.
Liaodong.
Not to mention, it is very likely that there was a private connection between Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji. Even if there was a estrangement between Huang Taiji, or if this was the case, Emperor Chongzhen's trust in Yuan Chonghuan had already been shattered.
"Your Majesty, if I were Yuan Chonghuan, he would definitely lead his troops to Qian'an City first." Xu Guangqi thought for a while, pointed to the map in front of him, and said.
"At that time, we will divide our troops and march towards Fengrun and Santun Camp. This will create an illusion for Jianlu. We, the Ming Dynasty, have formed a complete encirclement and are just waiting for them to enter the circle.
Even in order to create a false impression of luring the enemy, Yuan Chonghuan would use the name of the governor of Liaodong to force soldiers and horses from Yutian, Fengrun and other places to cooperate with his operation.
In this case, the garrison situation on the eastern front will inevitably be affected, resulting in a situation of empty troops in some areas. If Jianlu understands the situation, he will no longer focus on attacking Shenjing, but will turn around and head south. The three guards of Tianjin will
Located at a strategic location, it will inevitably be attacked by Jianlu!
Tianjin, an important thoroughfare, has always been an important place for the imperial government to pay wages. If it is plundered by the rebels, it will have a great impact on our Ming Dynasty!"
Xu Guangqi's words caused Emperor Chongzhen to fall into deep thought. Under his influence, the timeline of the Jisi Incident had actually been deflected.
Blindly taking advantage of foresight and applying it to the existing situation will inevitably lead to big losses. Therefore, it is most important to consider the problem from a higher perspective and consider the problem comprehensively.
"Where are the troops and horses rushing to support from Tianjin currently?"
Emperor Chongzhen frowned, looked at the map in front of him, and said, "Have the troops and horses rushing to help from Denglai arrived in the Dagu area of Tianjin on sea ships?"
Wang Qia said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the military report received the day before yesterday, the 20,000 troops and horses rushing to the rescue from Tianjin were personally led by Wang Hong, the chief military officer of Tianjin, and marched to the Hexiwu area.
In addition, the specific situation of the reinforcements from Denglai is not yet clear, but in my opinion, Zhang Keda, the commander-in-chief of Denglai, will definitely lead the reinforcements to the capital in person after hearing the edict to quell the rebellion and save the country."
"Too slow!"
Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly: "What does Wang Hong do for a living? Tianjin relies on water transportation. It took so long to arrive in the Hexiwu area.
The Military Aircraft Department immediately issued an order, telling Wang Hong to lead his troops to Yutian. They must arrive within three days. If the time limit is exceeded, military law will be engaged!
Send another person to Tianjin Sanwei. If Denglai's reinforcements arrive in Tianjin, they will immediately go north and temporarily station in Baodi, under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou's temporary central defense.
Also, if the reinforcements from Zhenjiang arrive in Tianjin, we will order them to immediately go north to Tongzhou and put them under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou's temporary guard."
"I accept the decree!"
When Wang Qia heard this, he immediately raised his hands in agreement, and then went to the side to recruit the military counselors who were on duty. He immediately drafted the edict and arranged the manpower to prepare to go and read the edict.
Chapter completed!
