Liaodong is in full swing, and the Central Plains are also in full swing.
After Nurhaci led a large army to capture Zunhua with the inside and the inside and the outside, although Nurhaci wanted to march into Jizhou as soon as possible and approached the capital, and did not give the Ming Dynasty time to react, although the battle of Zunhua lasted only a few days, the casualties and injuries of his Later Jin lineage were not at all.
The only thing that is thankful is that the person who was ambushed at the East Gate was not his direct elite Jurchens, otherwise, he would have been almost crippled as soon as the battle began.
However, even so, thousands of casualties were killed and injured in this battle, of which half of the elite troops in the Later Jin accounted for.
As a result, Nurhaci had to stop resting for a few days. After resting, he would naturally not forget to clean up the remaining enemies in the city and arrange people to guard Zunhua City, thinking that it would be a way out.
Three days later, the army of the Later Jin Dynasty, which had been resting and recuperating, also marched again under the leadership of Nurhaci, and attacked Jizhou directly.
This time, there was nothing like Jizhou surging, and there was nothing like rushing the enemy to drive forward. Jizhou, which was empty due to Zunhua, was not very effective even if Zhu Youjian repeatedly ordered to defend the enemy, and it was completely destroyed by the attack of the Later Jin army.
Since then, the defense system of the Ming Dynasty, which had been planned for many years, was completely declared collapse!
The fig leaf that was used by the Ming Dynasty officials was also torn apart by the Later Jin soldiers without mercy!
The corruption and declining nature of the Ming Dynasty was also clearly revealed in front of Nurhaci.
Therefore, after breaking the two passes of Zunhua Jizhou and approaching the Ming Dynasty's capital, Nurhaci couldn't help but sigh to the sky, regretting that God could not give him more time!
Otherwise, it would be no dream to enter the Central Plains that once was out of reach!
...
The news that Jizhou broke out soon spread to the capital, but at this time it was difficult to cause any turmoil.
It was well known that Zunhua City was broken, Jizhou was broken, and the Later Jin army arrived at the capital.
Nowadays, the most attention of the capital is already focused on how to defend the capital.
The next day, Qin Liangyu and the Baigan soldiers, who had long been brave, arrived in the capital, which also made Zhu Youjian and the court officials' tense mentality slightly slowed down.
For this reason, Zhu Youjian personally met with Qin Liangyu, the legendary female general, and even broke the tradition that foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter the capital, allowing Qin Liangyu to lead the white-sling soldiers into the city to defend.
As for outside the city, a large camp was quickly driven out, and the soldiers and generals from Zunhua broke out were stationed in it, supporting the capital and supporting each other.
Three days later, the Later Jin army officially entered the center of power of the Ming Dynasty and Shuntian Prefecture!
With Nurhaci's powerful talent, it is naturally impossible for him to rush to the capital of the Ming Dynasty for a temporary pleasure.
After arriving at Shuntian Prefecture, he also divided his troops into several groups, eliminating all prefectures and counties outside the capital that might pose a threat to the Later Jin army.
After all, when Zunhua fell, the Ming Dynasty learned its lesson, but chose to select elite troops and stationed outside the city. The other soldiers and generals were arranged to go to prefectures and counties around the capital to act as the outermost barrier, trying to delay the progress of the Later Jin army.
After a few more days, the Later Jin army was like pulling nails, turning the Ming Dynasty capital into an isolated city one by one!
In this situation, the Ming Dynasty was helpless. There were too few soldiers and generals in his hands, so he could only confirm that all this happened.
So, in the first year of Chongzhen, in late October, Nurhaci broke into the gate of Xifeng. It took less than a month to completely face the capital of the Ming Dynasty!
Of course, the first war in the Later Jin army came to the Ming Dynasty's capital was not a siege, but a fierce attack on soldiers and generals from all over the country, led by the general of Xuanfu Hou Shilu, the general of Xuanfu, made meritorious contributions.
At this point, despite the different processes, the changes in Jisi in history have completely become a fact in this time and space.
At this time of national crisis, the Yongwei Camp, which was entrusted with absolute hope by Zhu Youjian, changed from the previous overload marching to a Japanese marching of only twenty or thirty miles, and almost most of it was resting for twelve hours a day.
At this moment, there was still more than an hour before sunset, and the vast army had stopped moving forward, gathered in an orderly manner, and camped for rest.
In fact, the Yongwei Camp has now entered Shuntian Prefecture, less than two hundred miles away from the capital. If you marching quickly, it will only take one or two days to go.
Such a distance is already the limit. If you move forward, you can say that you have stepped into the battlefield.
After all, in this era, the scope of investigation of the scouts is not small at all.
Just like the Yongwei Camp, the scope of the scouts and scouts has reached a distance of hundreds of miles!
Li Xiu also strictly implemented the system of horse scouts, and made strict regulations on horse scouts on marching, camping, and even combat, as well as differences in time and location.
Later Jin was originally a nation that grew up on horseback. The scouts who explored horses would only be more elite.
In this way, a distance of one or two hundred miles can be said to be a war zone for the two armies.
"The order is sent, except for scouts and horses being investigated, and necessary vigilance, the rest of the troops will rest and make the craftsman camp seize the time, repair the chariots, and maintain the weapons..."
"Let the generals above the General Banner of the Army come to the commander's office to discuss matters!"
Several military orders were issued, Li Xiu stared at the sand table in front of him, and according to the military information sent by Zhu Youjian, his mind also turned rapidly.
Nurhaci claimed to be a 100,000 army, and the main force of the Jin Dynasty was only more than 10,000, among which the Mongolian tribes had a maximum of 50,000. The remaining were Mongolian and Han slave soldiers, with about 10,000.
Of course, there are also the Ming generals who surrendered after the Later Jin entered the pass. Except for some of the city gates captured by the Later Jin, the rest were also wrapped, and there were already tens of thousands of people!
In this way, although it is known as an army of 100,000, it is now a real number!
And the Ming Dynasty...
Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help feeling deeply powerless.
In fact, even now, it is a national crisis, and there are quite a few soldiers and generals owned by the Ming Dynasty, and there are still quite a few troops who serve the king.
But the current situation is very clear.
Nurhaci led a large army and marched straight into the capital in less than a month.
Such a mighty power has already tore open the last fig leaf of the Ming Dynasty, and wiped out the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, the country above the Celestial Empire!
Under such circumstances, if we cannot avenge our shame and power with a great victory, then the country's destiny will be completely declining from now on, and the world will be moved, and people will never be at peace from now on!
But the current situation...
It is no problem to force the Later Jin to leave.
The arrival of the kings and horses from all over the country, and the stalemate will be endless. Sooner or later Jin will retreat.
This result is probably what the court officials are thinking about now.
But if this is the case, that is the real sorrow, the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Xiu naturally didn't want to do this. If it were such a result, what's the point of his existence, his existence would have costed countless efforts?
But if you want to win, you can only fight head-on!
Can………
Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are many soldiers and generals, so where can we find an army that can fight in front of the future Jin Dynasty?
The only Guanning Iron Cavalry is now restrained in Liaodong and cannot move at all.
If other armies cannot fight and dare not fight, they will only be a drag and a loophole!
He Li Xiu, his brave guard camp...
The possibility of fighting alone is extremely great, and the support the court can provide is very rare!
Most importantly, there is no plan in this war!
When the Later Jin army arrived at the capital, he could only run into it!
Fight a real sword and a head-on battle with Nurhaci!
Chapter completed!
