Chapter 1545: Here Comes the Head Giver

"Our family already knows, and we are preparing to play His Majesty. Since Mao Shuai also has news, why don't the two of us join hands to play!" Not all the evil eunuchs led by Wang Chengen stayed in Dongjiang Town, and some sneaked into the sphere of influence of the Tartars to inquire. As far as the news is concerned, how could Huang Taiji not know about such a big commotion.

Moreover, according to Wang Chengen's estimate, His Majesty should have heard the news through several channels. Lu Wenzhao was a survivor of the Saarhu War. He hated the Tartars to the bone. Liaodong; in addition, there are as many as 300 young eunuchs who have learned the evil sword art, and Dongjiang Town only sent a dozen of them, and many of the remaining people must have already entered Liaodong.

In this way, the news from Dongjiang Town, Jinyiwei, the evil eunuch, Sun Chengzong and even North Korea confirmed each other, and His Majesty must be very clear about the situation in Liaodong.

In fact, Wang Cheng'en is one less thing, Shen Long is a time traveler, and he knows the major events during the Chongzhen period like the palm of his hand, and of course he is very clear about the first big crisis after Chongzhen's ascension to the throne - the Yisi change.

In October of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led an army claiming to be more than 100,000, avoiding Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and broke into the pass from Longjingguan, Hongshankou, and Da'ankou in three ways, captured Zunhua, and approached the capital; Going to the capital, but just looting around the capital has already swollen your stomach.

Not only did Yuandudu fail to pacify the Liao Dynasty for five years, but he was also beaten to the capital by the Tartars, so he was imprisoned and executed by Chongzhen. In addition, because of the ferocity of the Tartars and the greed and shamelessness of the civil servants, many troops who came to King Qin collapsed. , This not only caused Daming to lose a large number of troops, but also laid hidden dangers for future refugees.

Ordinary peasants don't know how to fight, but these professionally trained soldiers are different. Many soldiers of the collapsed Ming Dynasty joined the ranks of the refugee uprising, and soon became the backbone, leading the peasant army to attack the city and conquer the land, and eventually perished. Daming.

Counting the well-known leaders of the rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong was born in the frontier army in Yansui Town; the postman Li Zicheng went to Gansu to serve as a frontier army after he lost his job; In order to flee and return to his hometown, he rose up when he encountered a disaster year and couldn't survive it.

The rebellion of these people with professional skills is terrible. On the other hand, the pure peasant uprisings like Baishui Wanger did not cause much movement, but they just turned up and down; If you don't know the geography and roads, you may be able to conquer a city or two at the beginning, but soon you don't know what to do next.

In fact, most of the peasant uprisings from ancient times to the present are like this. Perhaps the main force of the uprising is the peasants, but few of the leaders are pure peasants. Huang Chao and Zhang Shicheng are private salt dealers, Li Zicheng is a postman, and Hong Xiuquan is a failed scholar. You have to see some of the world more or less before you can make things big.

If there is no failure of the Otomi change,

Without a large number of King Qin's army breaking up and joining the peasant army, it is absolutely impossible for Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others to grow to such an extent. Therefore, this battle must not only teach Huang Taiji a lesson, but also prevent King Qin's army from breaking up; compared to the former, perhaps The latter is more difficult to do.

Because it is very easy to defeat Huang Taiji, at least this enemy is on the bright side. Now the four guards of Tengxiang have been trained to some extent. Sun Yuanhua led the military battle and built a lot of ordnance. The combat effectiveness of this army definitely surpassed the Eight Banners , what is lacking now is the experience on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, according to reports from Jinyiwei's spies lurking in Liaodong, this time the slave chief Huang Taiji has 100,000 troops, and the attack is menacing. We must prepare early!" Lu Wenzhao said after handing over the information to Shen Long.

"Sun Dushi also has a report, saying that Ningyuan is heavily guarded, and there is little hope for the Tartars to enter the pass from Ningyuan; but Huang Taiji has just returned from an expedition to Chahar, and he can completely bypass Mongolia and enter the pass through Jimen. Then you can avoid Governor Sun." Shen Long nodded, no one knew this matter better than him.

However, due to the existence of Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji had to prevent Mao Wenlong from attacking the flanks when sending troops, so the number of Eight Banners soldiers sent this time may be less than in the original history.

"Wen Zhao, continue to search for information, and make sure to find out the route of Huang Taiji's march and the number of soldiers." Shen Long waved his hand, making Lu Wenzhao retreat first.

Lu Wenzhao was very worried about this, but Shen Long was very calm. No matter how many Huang Taiji came, it was just a gift of heads. During the past year or so since his ascension to the throne, most of them were just hiding their strengths and biding their time, without doing anything too big. The action is because he has not established absolute prestige, and the arrival of Huang Taiji will undoubtedly help him gain a wave of prestige.

A young emperor who has just succeeded to the throne and an emperor who led the Ming Dynasty to a great victory have different weights in the hearts of civil and military officials and the people of the world. What's more, Shen Long has prepared a special thing. Tai Chi can come in handy after that, and at that time, with the power of great victory, plus the bonus of that thing, it will definitely be able to temporarily suppress the courtiers.

After Lu Wenzhao left, Shen Long went directly to the Four Guards of Tengxiang to inquire about Ding Baiying's recent training situation. Ding Baiying reported, "For more than a year, the soldiers have had enough to eat, and the military pay has not been deducted at all, so the training is very hard. , except that the new armaments are still a little rusty, the rest are not weaker than Hunhe's Zhejiang soldiers back then."

"That's good. The Tartars are planning to enter the customs again. Soon they will have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield. This battle must be won. After winning, I will not be stingy with rewards. Whether it is an official promotion or gold and silver, as long as If they want it, I will give it." After watching the training, Shen Long was very satisfied.

Coming out of the station of the Four Guards in Tengxiang, Shen Long went to the Bingzhan Bureau again, "How many cannons and firecrackers can the Bingzhan Bureau produce within a month?"

"Nowadays, craftsmen are becoming more and more proficient, and the amount that can be produced this month is 30% more than last month, but these are really expensive. A bullet costs one tael of silver, which is really unaffordable!" Sun Yuanhua sighed.

"Haha, as long as fifty bullets can kill a tartar, that's a profit!" Shen Long didn't take it seriously. It was too cheap to kill a tartar with money, let alone with the craftsman's skill. With the advancement of technology and the expansion of production, these costs can be quickly reduced.

After visiting these two places, Shen Long had a solid foundation in his mind. In the early court, he took out Sun Chengzong's memorial, "There is another change in the establishment of slaves. Do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
