Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 401 Li Cunxu Second

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition this time was actually under a lot of pressure.The reason is just like what other people feared, this battle is not easy to fight.

All this time, he didn't have a special clue, so he used the strategy of mowing grass to scare the snake, let the snake run out of the grass first, and if there was any movement, he would see if he could catch the snake.

It is also for this reason that Emperor Chongzhen's personal conquest this time came with great fanfare, not secretly as before.

Of course, in addition to the reason for scaring the snake, there is another very important reason, which made Emperor Chongzhen give up the stealth as before.

Because this time on the grassland, the Jianlu army was the main force.Leading the army was Jierhalang, who was more famous in the Manchu Qing army.Jianlu is also superb at using spies, and Jierhalang must be very skilled as well.At least half of their wars were won by this method.What's more, the cause of this war was the collusion between the Ming rebel General Chai Shihua and Jianlu.

If you sneaked like before, this time you came out with the Rock Battalion, not as easy to sneak as the cavalry.And at such a long border line, Jianlu's traitors would definitely be able to hear the news.Instead of this, it would be better to scare the snake away.

No, Emperor Chongzhen has already learned about the situation in Guihua City in detail through the Grade A bugging seeds on Ying'erdai and Xilin Jueluo.

The so-called know yourself, know your enemy, and win a hundred battles, this is really true.

Emperor Chongzhen only knew the situation in Guihua City, and he had the idea of ​​dealing with Jianlu and Mongolian Tartars in his mind.

In the important town of Yulin, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been an important border town for defending the grassland.Therefore, here, you can find relevant information on the grassland, such as a rough map of the grassland.There are all of them.

After reading the Class-A eavesdropping seed information on Xilin Jueluo, Emperor Chongzhen drew a route that Jierhalang believed to be foolproof.After verifying it again, he sealed up the map with the route drawn and his will, and asked the commander of Jin Yiwei who was driving him to know Wu Zhong, select a reliable person, and immediately send it secretly to Datong Mansion, and hand it over to him. Aid and suppress Wu Sangui, the commander in chief.

As for Emperor Chongzhen himself, he seemed not to know that Guihua City was eager for him to lead troops to attack Guihua City. The decrees were passed down one after another with great fanfare, just to attack Guihua City.

The important town of Yulin suddenly became very lively, and elites drawn from all walks of life were gathering in Yulin Town.And from Yulin Town to the grassland, Ye Bushou also kept going in and out.There are also grain and grass supplies transferred from neighboring prefectures, which are also transported to Yulin Town one by one.

No matter who it is, even ordinary people who have never fought a war, or passers-by, when they see the emperor sitting in Yulin, the movement of the border troops on the roads, and the non-stop delivery of food and supplies, they all know that the emperor is going to send troops. Attacked Guihua City.

However, there is one situation that is rather strange, at least in the eyes of the person concerned, it is strange.

Those armies on all sides who received the emperor's order will receive a sentence from the messenger angel orally and secretly: "You must be cautious in mobilizing the elite, and everything should be properly arranged. There should be no accidents. It is better to arrive at Yulin Town later. Don't wait because the emperor is in the town." , hurried to Yulin."

Generally speaking, when the emperor is here, the generals in the border armies will never dare to neglect. They will definitely dispatch their elite troops and rush over as soon as they receive the order.However, the decree within the decree seemed to require them to focus on arranging local affairs before going to Yulin.The point of this matter seems to be biased!
However, the oral order was explained, and the generals of the frontier army did not dare to disobey, so they could only arrange everything as much as possible, checked and checked, and rushed to Yulin when they felt that there was no problem.

In this way, those who don't know the oral instructions will think that the emperor is right, and he will go out with peace of mind after he has finished arranging the defense after he leads the army.It can be seen from this that the emperor absolutely wanted to go out to attack the Jianlu in Guihua City.It's just that if you are so cautious, it seems that the speed of gathering the army will be slow.At the same time, I also feel that the efficiency of the Ming army's assembly is really a bit low.

Many people have expressed concern about this situation.

Although the emperor has shown his wise and powerful side a few times before; but what about this time?In this way, although the safety of the rear will be guaranteed after the army goes out, the most important thing is not the matter of the army going out to defeat Jianlu?This is the point!

With such a low assembly efficiency, the principle of war is lost at all, and the Jianlu outside the customs must know it and respond accordingly.The grassland is no different than Liaodong. When the army left the customs, Jianlu must have run away long ago, hiding in the vast grassland, hiding in the dark to harass and attack the army.This kind of coping method can be imagined with your feet!In this way, how else can the emperor deal with it?

The more I thought about it, the more worried the generals and officials of the Ming army became.At first, they thought that the emperor should have his own plans, and with the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, it is impossible not to see this.However, after waiting for many days, the Emperor Chongzhen did not issue a new order, but he was still gathering preparations at a leisurely pace.

Finally, they got tired of waiting.I also remembered that for a long time after the emperor ascended the throne, he did not show any wisdom or martial prowess.Could it be that the emperor has returned to mediocrity?
There have been many such examples in history.For example, Li Cunxu, the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, led the army to fight.Could it be that the current emperor is the second Li Cunxu, right?

Thinking of this, these courtiers were really anxious, and began to find various opportunities to persuade Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, the speed of soldiers is precious, and if they gather so slowly, the news will inevitably leak out, which is not good for the army to fight!"

"Your Majesty, despite such deployment, you are not afraid of Jianlu sneaking into the pass. However, when the army goes out to the grassland, it loses its suddenness. Jianlu is prepared. If they avoid fighting, how will the army deal with it? There will always be a day when the food and supplies are exhausted. What should I do?"

"Your Majesty, I beseech you to think twice. Now that you have left the pass to attack Guihua City, there is no chance of winning. Please call your Majesty to cancel this battle."

"..."

Regarding these remonstrances, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be indifferent, as if he didn't want to pay attention to them, and was really annoyed by the persuasion, so he dealt with it casually.

"I still use Qing and others to teach me how to fight? Don't worry, I have a clever plan to defeat the captives!"

"Soldiers are expensive and quick, and it's just what military strategists say, and you can't believe it all. I did the opposite, and the result must be beyond Jianlu's expectations. This is my way of fighting, isn't it wonderful?"

"Since I led the army to fight, have I ever been defeated in a battle? Don't you have so little confidence in me leading the army to fight?"

"Enough, no need to say more, I know everything in my heart!"

"..."

Emperor Chongzhen became more and more impatient with the advice of his courtiers, and even had a tendency to get angry, which disappointed many civil servants and generals.

But hearing the emperor speak so confidently, they could only take another look.The result was good, Emperor Chongzhen simply hid from them, but his military strategy did not change at all.

As a result, many people became worried about Emperor Chongzhen's performance again, feeling that something would happen to the emperor's personal expedition this time!Could it be that if he really complied with that sentence, the general would inevitably die in battle?Or is it because people have to be smart for a long time, they will be blindly confident?Just like Zhuge Liang, there was the defeat of Jieting?

While they were worried, the news from the Ming army also spread to Guihua City through Jianlu's careful work and scouting.

Hearing this, Azige couldn't help laughing and said: "The dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than that, you really regard him as a wise and mighty emperor, what a joke!"

He said this to Yingerdai.

Ying Erdai was a little suspicious when he heard this. He felt that the performance of the Ming Emperor this time was completely different from the performance of the Ming Emperor in his impression.Therefore, regardless of Azig's ridicule, he turned to look at Jierhalang and said seriously: "Your Highness, is it possible that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is playing some conspiracy?"

After finishing speaking, he remembered Azig's ridicule, and immediately explained: "It doesn't mean that the emperor of the country destroyed Hetao Tumote's troops in one battle, but he just killed more than 1 horses from Prince Rui in one battle. It can be done by luck. Moreover, the general has seen him with his own eyes, he is definitely a very wise emperor, and the eyes that read people's hearts are still fresh in the memory of the general. This emperor of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not a mediocre person!"

"Haha, did you get scared out of your wits after being captured by the Ming Kingdom once?" Azig laughed unscrupulously when he heard it, "Don't talk about the useless things in the past, tell me, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is here. What kind of trouble can happen on the grassland? When he leads the army to attack, in the vast grassland, you can see at a glance what he wants to do, how can he destroy us? "

Although Azig was right, Jierhalang was cautious by nature, but he was still a little worried, just like Yingerdai said.After pondering for a while, he said solemnly: "Ling Tanma and other secret agents in the pass must not slack off, keep an eye on the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and report any changes immediately!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" After hearing this, Ying Erdai thought that the emperor was wise and Prince Zheng should indeed lead the army.Otherwise, if Azig came to lead the army, he would be deceived by the appearance of the Ming emperor, and he would definitely bring trouble to the army.

Azig next to him really didn't think so.But Jierharang is the coach, and Azig doesn't care if he issued this military order.Seeing that his performance was much more relaxed, he almost said it directly.

Jierhalang still frowned, he didn't understand what the Ming emperor did, logically speaking, it absolutely shouldn't be like this.Maybe, something is really going to happen.Therefore, in addition to ordering to step up efforts to investigate the movements of the Ming army, he also issued a new military order.

First, Guihua City must speed up its actions and be prepared to evacuate at any time.All supplies, food, grass, etc., can be taken away, and the Ming army must not be left behind.Using the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field, the Ming army could not get any supplies on the grassland.

Second, urgently order all ethnic groups in Mongolia who have not yet dispatched elites to arrive at Guihua City to remind them again.

Jirhalang believes that as long as he is prepared, he can start a war at any time.In this way, with the buffer of the grassland, no matter how many tricks the Ming emperor tried, I believe he would not be able to succeed.

Therefore, his military orders were immediately implemented in the most severe way.

Here in Guihua City, there was a lot of movement.Food, grass and other supplies are all loaded into the car and can leave at any time.Cattle, horses and sheep are also moved to the foot of the green hills, and they can stay away from Guihua City at any time.There are also those farmlands outside Guihua City, which are no longer cared for, and are ready to be destroyed at any time.

The army of Jianlu, including the elite Mongolian tribes who were ordered to come here, also never took off their armor when they slept, and their horses never took off their saddles.With such a serious battle, let's see what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can do.Even if he sent [-] Ming cavalry to hide the truth from the secret agents in the pass, or dared to raid Guihua City before the secret agents in the pass sent the news, Jierhalang was sure that the Ming cavalry would not get anything in the first place , can only get an empty city.

Haha, that trick of the hussar general in the history of the Ming Dynasty was useless against the Qing Dynasty!
Jierhalang had a vague guess in his heart that the Ming emperor wanted to use this trick.On the surface, they gathered slowly to paralyze themselves, but in fact they used the cavalry as the vanguard to make a surprise attack, and the infantry followed up.Didn't the emperor of the Ming Dynasty have a hussars battalion in the imperial forest army?It can be seen from this that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had ideas about the Hussar General, and he might come to this kind of trick.

Therefore, although the Ming army on the Yulin Town side, and the Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces on the Guihua City side have not started a war.But the confrontation between the two sides has already begun.

But Jierhalang didn't know that his coping methods, through the Class-A wiretapping seeds, were known by the Emperor Chongzhen, and he was relieved, feeling that this Jierharang is really good, and he really has to do what he thinks did it.Yes, wait for a while, if he starts to doubt, he can continue to add more ingredients.

Thinking about this matter, Emperor Chongzhen secretly calculated in his heart again, Wu Sangui's side is about to succeed, right?

…………

Let's talk about Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcement and suppression campaign. When he suddenly received a secret order from Emperor Chongzhen, he couldn't help but be shocked.He was a little confused as to why the emperor could get the route map for Jianlu to escort people and materials back to Liaodong, and even explained who would lead the army and how many troops it would have.I'm afraid only Jianlu's top brass would know such detailed military information, right?Could it be that the top Jianlu officials have spies from the emperor?
Wu Sangui was really shocked, and felt that this was really incredible!Looking back at this moment, I feel that his uncle’s approach to Dashou was really unwise. If the uncle’s spirit in the sky could know that there were spies from the emperor at the top of Jianlu, wouldn’t he have stepped on two boats in the first place? Do you want to have a good idea between Jianlu and Daming?
