I am the king of the dead

"Your Majesty, what's the pity?" Xing'an asked with a cup of tea.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu never wanted the war to happen within the country, which was a devastating blow to people's livelihood.

For example, when Duke Ming sent his wife and children to the south, countless people fled south. On the road to the south of Daming, every road was crowded with people fleeing. The merchants left with their families and even lost their property. No matter what, the two big collections of things in the capital are already crowded.

This phenomenon, Yu Qian used military disaster to describe.

He actually discussed with Yu Qian the possibility of retaking the Bauhinia Pass, but Yu Qian rejected it.

If it is possible to fight in the wild, Yu Qian will not risk his life, but no, the sequelae of the loss of the six divisions are gradually spreading.

The subjects of Daming, even the civil and military officials in the court, have lost certain confidence in the strength of Daming.

"Lack of horses." Zhu Qiyu said helplessly.

The Daming army's battle formation can be said to be first-class, but the lack of a horse army is an indisputable fact.

During the Orthodox years, Hetao was actually controlled by the Oirat people, and the phenomenon of lack of horses in Daming became more and more serious.

Daming also gradually reduced from a field army to a defending army. The prefects of Daming, the biggest achievement of the frontier now, is how many city walls they have built.

"Building the city wall, instead of fighting fiercely, this is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu looked at the map with emotion. This is a systemic problem.

Xing'an put down the tea cup and grinded it silently. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, it's not the minister who talks too much."

"Why do the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty like to build the city wall? The reasons are complicated, but it is true that building the city wall is the easiest."

"The confederates are military households, and the gentry are unhappy and have all gone to serve as soldiers. Who will farm for them?"

"Training troops is time-consuming and laborious, but it's not thankful. If you practice well, the Ming Gongs in the court are not happy, and some people say that they have self-respect for their troops. After impeachment, the officials of the Supreme Court heard the wind and started to impeach the generals. Who can stand it?"

"If you don't practice well, not to mention it, it's even more thankless, and you'll be ridiculed by others."

"I thought that this matter should be taken care of slowly, and I'll talk about it when the Oara people have been repelled."

Zhu Qiyu stared at the map for a long time and said, "Xing'an, do you think this battle can be won?"

"I don't know, I have no idea in my heart." Xing'an chose to tell the truth. This is his true opinion. He is just a fast eunuch. How can he understand military affairs?

Why was Chen Xun reading the article "Buren Xinghuiyi" by Fengyang Poetry Society?

Because it is very widespread.

Like Xing'an, in fact, most people do not have any confidence in the upcoming battle to defend the capital.

Zhu Qiyu asked Lu Zhong to arrest [-] people from Fengyang Poetry Society, but instead of calming down, the matter became more and more intense. Similar opinions were clamoring in the community, and there was a tendency to intensify.

In this battle of the capital, it is not only necessary to win, but also to win!

"Where did the Oara go?" he asked worriedly.

Xing'an hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we may arrive at Bauhinia Pass tomorrow."

Where did the Oara go?

Faster than Xing'an had estimated, they had already entered the Bauhinia Pass.

Standing on the top of Bauhinia Pass, Taishi Wata also looked at Guangou not far away, the smile on his face could not be suppressed no matter what.

"Emperor, do you know where that place is?" He also patted the city wall forcefully, and asked with a big smile, pointing to the distant Guangou.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head: "I don't know."

He also pointed to the ditch in the distance and said: "This place is called Guangou, and Juyongguan has two passes, north and south, called the north and south passes, and on both sides are lofty mountains and valleys about forty miles, called Guangou."

"And Juyongguan stands on the top of the Guangou, extending the Great Wall from east to west. It has been difficult to capture since ancient times. It can be described as impregnable."

"Your Majesty, if you were from Oara, how would you break through Juyongguan?"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Juyongguan in the distance and shook his head and said, "There is no king in the world. I don't need to break it. When I go there, I will naturally worship everywhere, and I will break it without attacking."

Hearing Zhu Qizhen say this first, he was dizzy and laughed again and again.

Chapter 44 Expansion first

"Pfft, hahaha...cough!" Yexian finally couldn't help laughing out loud, he laughed so wildly that he coughed out of breath.

He had a reason to laugh at Zhu Qizhen.

In fact, before going to Xuanfu, he also thought so, the emperor naturally obeyed all over the world.

But under the Xuanfu city, Yang Hong didn't pay any attention to his emperor at all. When he arrived in Datong, the city gate was closed, and only Liu An went out of the city to say hello.

I also knew at that time that the emperor Zhu Qizhen was in his hands, and he was afraid that he could no longer threaten Daming.

He also shook his head first and continued: "Look at the north entrance of Juyongguan, pour iron juice, cast the city gate, and sprinkle tribulus terrestris over a hundred miles outside the north entrance. No one can enter.

"It is absolutely impossible to win Juyongguan without tens of thousands of people dying."

"But the terrain of the south entrance is flat, and the food and firewood roads are all in the south entrance. It is absolutely impossible to close it, but the south entrance is within the customs. How can we win it?"

"To win the mystery of Juyongguan, it is at the Bauhinia Pass under our feet."

Ye Xian's eyes are full of nostalgia, nostalgic for the invincible Dayuan, and all kinds of things when Dayuan was founded.

He also first supported the city wall of Bauhinia Pass and said with a smile: "In those days, I went to Emperor Genghis Khan and led the army before Juyong Pass."

"Before Genghis Khan attacked Juyong Pass, General Zhebie, the arrows of my Dayuan, had already led people to fight Juyong Pass once. He used tricks to capture it, but he was unable to occupy it for a long time, because the Great Wall of Yehuling in the Jin Kingdom was still in the hands of the Jin people. , Under the situation of the encirclement, Wanhu Zhebie had no choice but to retreat."

"But this time is different. Genghis Khan has already captured Yehu Ridge and won Xuande Mansion, which is now the important town of Xuan Mansion. But when he came to Juyongguan, he was helpless in the face of natural dangers."

"Wanyan Gang, the generals defending the city, and Gao Qi, the war tiger, are both capable of fighting. An army of [-] is enough to withstand [-] soldiers."

"And at this time, I, Dayuan sent a gold envoy, Alaqian. When Genghis Khan married the princess of Qiguo, he walked here once. He knew a path that could break through the south entrance of Juyongguan."

"And the exit of this path is the Bauhinia Pass under our feet, so does the emperor know why we are here now?"

"As long as the Bauhinia Pass is taken down, Juyong Pass is at your fingertips!"

"The inner three gates are the line, and if you cut off the connection between the Kyushu outside the Daming Mountain and the capital, you can attack the capital of Daming, and you can hunt in the Kyushu outside the mountain when you retreat."

"The two towns of Xuanfu in Datong! It will become an isolated city! Even if the wall is high, there will still be a day when it will be broken!"

The more he talked, the more excited he was, and he explained to Zhu Qizhen his way of using troops, but Zhu Qizhen watched and pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't get the point.

But he was stunned and said, "Is Juyongguan so easy to take?"

"Teacher is really like a god." Xi Ning hurriedly gave him a flattery.

As for his own emperor, how could he question the Grand Master at this time?

He also laughed firstly, his eyes turned to the direction of the capital of Daming, a kind of ambition called ambition was restless in his heart.

Before the sudden change in Tumubao, he did not expect to capture Zhu Qizhen. After capturing Zhu Qizhen, his ambitions swelled violently.

Genghis Khan's general Zhebie used a strategy to take Juyongguan, but because Yehuling (near Zhangjiakou) was still in the hands of the Jin people, he could not occupy it for a long time and had to retreat. He knew it.

At this time, the important town of Xuanfu was still firmly in the hands of Daming, and what he should do most at this time is what he said.

Occupy the inner three passes, completely cut off the connection between Xuanfu and Daming Gyeonggi, break through the Kyushus outside the mountains one by one, completely occupy the Kyushus outside the mountains and the Hetao Plain, and then plan to march into Daming.

This is also the strategy of Genghis Khan against Jin at that time. He has always been the first to restore the glory of Dayuan, and he knows this in great detail.

But the capital at this time was right in front of him, and the restlessness in his heart was already hard to contain, otherwise, he would not have gathered in Bauhinia Pass.

The idea of ​​destroying the country in World War I has wiped out his sanity, and he thinks he can!

Did Genghis Khan destroy the Jin Kingdom?not at all.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty decided not to be comparable to the Jin Kingdom, which was hanged and beaten by Meng Gong of the Southern Song Dynasty in the south, and was beaten by the Menggu people in the north.

Genghis Khan spent his entire life thinking about how to avenge his ancestors' revenge on the Jin people, but he was still not blinded by hatred, but chose to fight steadily.

However, when Xuanfu and Datong were still in the hands of Daming, he chose to advance rashly, intending to attack the capital. Why was he so arrogant and even a little over-the-top?

In fact... it was because the battle of the civil fort was too brilliant and too easy to win, so that he had an illusion that Daming was nothing more than that.

As long as you use a little force, you can defeat Daming's illusion.

Isn't that the Ming Army?

I can defeat 20 with [-]. Now that I have an army of [-], won't it be easy to win a Great Ming capital?

But he seems to have forgotten that even in the Orthodox years, Daming's three northern expeditions all ended in great victories.

The combat effectiveness of the Daming army was only under the leadership of Zhu Qizhen that it seemed so weak.

It is a pity that at this time, there is no one who can stop him and he will take the Oara people first and enter Gyeonggi.

In the early morning of the next day, he led 3 cavalry, 10 infantry, and hundreds of thousands of civilians to pass through Yizhou, Liangxiang and stationed near Lugou Bridge.

The weather in October has become very cold, the beginning of winter has passed, and the weather is slowly getting cooler. There are many oak trees planted in the capital, which were transplanted by Zheng He's seven voyages to the West. Now there are not many branches of the oak trees. leaves.

When the winter wind blows, the capital is finally covered in frost.

The Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty hurriedly returned to the Tenth Regiment Camp after a short stay in the Mansion of the King Yu, because Yizhou had returned from the visit to the horse, and Ye Xian's pioneer had already passed through Yizhou to Liangxiang.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu was sitting in the tent in the tenth regiment camp.

Yu Qian, Shi Heng, Fan Guang, Liu An, Sun Tang and other generals gathered in the tent. In front of them was a large sand table. Above the sand table was the city defense of the Ming capital.

Shi Heng, in full armor, stepped out and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the last commander thought that the Oirat people came from a long way. Before, all the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi carried out a fortification of the walls and clearing the fields, and the Oirat people must not be able to carry enough food and grass. Our army can wait for it."

"The soldiers are stationed in nine gates, and the walls will be old. After the Wara people attacked the city and suffered a lot of casualties, our army will attack and annihilate it in one fell swoop."

Fan Guang, who was transferred from Liaodong, immediately echoed and said: "General Shi's words are reasonable. Our army is not well trained. If we attack rashly, it may be unknown. The general thinks that the strategy of General Shi is the best policy."

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "It's not right."

"I also don't think it's right." Zhu Qiyu said with an embarrassed expression: "Shi Zongbing, what's the difference between this and sitting still?"

"I don't know anything about military affairs, but I don't have enough food and grass. They will go out to snatch them. If the walls are clear, they will go to Hebei and other places to snatch them."

"You can always grab it. This kind of play that waits for work, seems to be easy, but it puts the towns of Daming in the fire."

"Yu Shangshu, what do you think it should be?"

Chapter 45 Crying at night and at dawn, can the Wala people cry to death!

The food and grass issue raised by Zhu Qiyu is not without a purpose.

In fact, the Oara people really do this. As one of the three giants of the Mongu, the Oara people have established a vast area from Central Asia in the west, North Korea in the east, Siberia in the north, and north of the Great Wall in the south.

At this time, the Oirat people were the largest Mongolian government after Beiyuan. They had a vast territory, a strong war background and an organizational ability that was not inferior to Beiyuan.

The result of strong walls and clear fields to defend the city is that the entire North China Plain is devastated.

This is a scene that Zhu Qiyu absolutely does not want to see.

Even if he wins in the end, Daming still loses in a mess. He can't accept such a result. Fortunately, he is not just talking nonsense on paper, and Yu Qian also supports his point of view.

Yu Qian said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of private houses in the city, and the people of these houses have already entered the city and placed them in the official buildings, but the houses can be used! "

"King Yang organized mourning soldiers in Xuanfu, and Guo Deng organized defeated soldiers in Datong. As long as King Yang and Guo Deng can free up their hands and retake Bauhinia Pass, it will be like a fight between beasts, and then Jieshi will be able to win a big victory, and it will also be avoided. Life is charred."

Shi Heng sighed and asked in a low voice, "How long? How long will it take for Yang Hong and Guo Deng to organize the defeated army? If Yang Hong comes out lightly and the defeated army mutines, the Xuanfu will not be guaranteed, the Datong will not be guaranteed, and the capital of Ming Dynasty will always be under the iron hoof. Under the circumstances, what is the point of a great victory!"

Shi Heng is a fool, and he is good at flattery.

When he was in prison, Yu Qian recommended him. He never said bad things about Qian's predecessors, but this time his attitude was very firm.

Yu Qian said calmly, "Someone believes in King Yang, just like he believes in you Shi Heng."

"Someone thought that King Yang and Guo Deng would not be unaware of the importance of Xuanfu and Datong. If they were not completely sure, they would never send troops to retake Bauhinia Pass."

"As for how long, I think it will be three months."

Shi Heng closed his eyes for a long time. After thinking about it, he took a deep breath and said, "Three months is three months! The last general has no opinion, it is all up to Yu Shangshu to do the main military affairs."

"Can the military reserve army and the Japanese army be able to withstand three months?" Zhu Qiyu asked his own question, fighting outside the city for three months, is it really okay for those reservists who seem to be a little immature?

"Yes." Yu Qian said very precisely: "Your Majesty, this minister guarantees that the Ming will win this battle with the head of the item."

This is Yu Qian's military order, Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "My Jinyiwei can obey the dispatch at any time and fight the enemy."

"Jinyiwei is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and Yu Shangshu should not have any scruples."

Jin Yiwei only obeyed the emperor's orders in the 22nd guard of the capital. Zhu Qiyu's words were very clear, he would not interfere with Yu Qian's command, and all the command and dispatch were decided by Qian alone.

What is the most taboo in the military?

Zhu Qiyu was training in the [-]th regiment camp this month, and there was only one feeling that it was the biggest taboo of the army to go out to many places.

The army can only have one brain and no other voices.
