178 Great Time
Will Jiannu really go to conquer the Mongolian Yuan tribes at this time?
There is no doubt about this, because Nurhaci and Huang Taiji are both ambitious people, and they seem to have one belief, that is, expansion, expansion, and expansion!
This is true in history. They have never stopped expanding. The Ming Dynasty in the south cannot be beaten, so they will fight against the Mongolian and Yuan tribes in the west. It is really not possible. The Ming Dynasty in the east will send people to beat them and take them down.
Nurhaci had long had ambitions against the Mongolian and Yuan tribes, but because the Ming Dynasty was easy to bully, he made great progress, from Fushun to Jinzhou, and he couldn't stop feeling happy, so he had no time to conquer the Mongolian and Yuan tribes.
In fact, as early as the 40th year of Wanli, he married Borjijit from Korchin as his concubine and set up a springboard for himself to move westward.
His dozens of sons had frequent marriages with the Korqin tribe, and their power had long been slowly penetrated into the Korqin grassland through this method.
For example, Huang Taiji's Empress Zhezhe, Yongfu Palace Zhuang Concubine Bumubutai, Guansui Palace Chen Concubine Hailanzhu, all of them are from Borjijit's clan in Korqin.
It can be said that he had already made sufficient preparations to conquer the Mongolian Yuan tribes.
At this moment, Daming suddenly became so hard that he could not bite it. He naturally turned his attention to the Mongolian Yuan tribes in the west.
As for whether the Ming Dynasty would take the opportunity to counterattack, he was not worried at all.
Because the rebellion of the southwest chieftains in the Ming Dynasty was out of control, Taichang, who was in charge of the army in person, was so scared that he immediately withdrew his troops and went back to wipe his butt.
He naturally heard about such a big thing. The Ming Dynasty wanted to deal with more than 200,000 chieftain soldiers in the southwest, so where could there be enough troops to attack Liaodong?
Therefore, he was very relieved to take 40,000 cavalry to the west of the Korqin grassland and conquer the Khalkha tribe of the Mongolian Yuan.
Of course, he was not at all prepared for the Ming Dynasty. From the Southern Four Guards to Shenyang, he arranged enough troops to guard them.
Liu Aita, the commander of the Southern Four Guards, was his son-in-law, and he also had nearly 20,000 infantry and navy under his command.
He directly left the Great Beile Daishan to guard the garrison in Liaoyang and Shenyang. Daishan not only had nearly 30,000 infantrymen of the Eight Banners, but also 30,000 generals commanded by Li Yongfang and Tong Yangxing.
He believed that with these 80,000 people, there would be no problem with resisting the little people in Sun Chengzong's hands.
Even if he can't stand it, it doesn't matter much. As long as he receives the news, he can lead the cavalry back in one month. At that time, the infantry under Sun Chengzong's command will not be a dish in front of him!
How could he have imagined that as soon as he left, Da Beile Daishan had a falling out with Liu Aita, the commander of the Southern Four Guards.
This is equivalent to the series of defense lines between the Nansi Guards and Shenyang and Liaoyang, and they were torn in half!
This situation was extremely dangerous for Jiannu, and Da Beile Daishan knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not dare to send anyone to inform Nurhaci. In the dark, he was like helping Taichang a lot.
Taichang naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. When he heard that the Jiannu cavalry was not present, he immediately ordered people to 800 miles to send back the 10,000 Shenwu Camp Iron Cavalry far away in Xi'an Prefecture and Hanzhong Prefecture. At the same time, he ordered Wang Chengen to find a way to transport the food collected from Nanzhili to Denglaishui City.
At this moment, he was determined to bet on this, so he bet that Liu Aita would really lead the Navy of the South Four Guards to vote.
As long as Liu Aita really throws it over, the Nansi Guards will be nothing in their pocket.
So, how can we quickly defeat the Nansi Guards?
In the Governor Denglai's yamen, Taichang specially ordered people to arrange a combat command room.
The walls around the command room are full of maps, including full maps of the entire Liaodong, as well as local maps of the South Four Guards, Liaoyang, Chenyang and other places.
Originally, Liaodong was one of the nine major towns in the Ming Dynasty, and the maps of these places were naturally very detailed.
In the middle of the war room is a huge sand table, with the topography overview centered on the South Four Guards, including the Daliao River, Denglaishui City, Chenyang City and Liaoyang City.
Taichang looked at the series of small islands between Denglai Shui City and Jinzhouwei for a while, then asked, "Liqing, are these islands under our control?"
Yuan Keli quickly explained: "Originally, these islands are under our control, because these islands are all on our side of Denglai Shui City, which is more convenient for us in the past. However, there are more warships from the South Four Guards Navy than us, so we basically gave up the northernmost part of the Temple Island."
Taichang said in confusion: "Why should I give up such a good place? Miao Island is only a hundred miles from the southernmost end of Jinzhouwei, right?"
Yuan Keli said helplessly: "Yes, the Miao Island is only a hundred miles from the southernmost end of Jinzhou Guard. It is precisely because it is too close that the Navy of the South Four Guards often comes to attack, and we don't have many warships, and the city of Lai Shui City is more than 200 miles away from Miao Island, so there is no time to support it. Therefore, in order to avoid losses, the Wei minister had to give up."
This is not a big problem. If Liu Aita leads the Navy of the Four Guards of the South to join, the Miao Island will naturally be recovered.
Taichang stared at the temple island for a while, and suddenly had an idea and said, "What do you mean, Liu Aita often leads the South Four Guards Navy to attack the temple island?"
Yuan Keli nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, this guy is actually quite powerful. He knows the location is important. Therefore, as long as we send people to occupy Miao Island, he will lead the Nansi Navy to attack."
OK!
Taichang couldn't help but say excitedly: "This means, if Liu Aita led the navy to fight in the name of attacking Miao Island, Jiannu wouldn't have doubted it at all, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Keli nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, he doesn't know how many times he has led the navy."
Taichang thought about it and asked again, "How long does it take for him to come?"
Yuan Keli estimated: "This depends on the situation here. Once we climbed to the Temple Island, he would usually lead his army to come in about five days. If we retreat after hearing the news, it would take ten days to go back and forth. If we resisted, it would be hard to say. I remember that the longest time he fought with us on Temple Island for more than ten days. In this way, it took him at least twenty days to go."
Very good, this time difference is enough.
Taichang said decisively: "Go and ask Liu Xingren to come."
When Yuan Keli heard this, he couldn't help but look around.
This is their combat command place. Can Liu Xingren come here?
He carefully dissuaded: "Master, those who know how to fight after reading these will roughly know how we want to fight!"
Taichang said confidently: "From Liu Xingren's performance these days, they should be sincere in their votes. Besides, even if they don't really vote, they are not afraid. If they dare to play any hard tricks, the Temple Island will be their burial place!"
This, OK.
Yuan Keli had no choice but to order someone to call Liu Xingren.
To be honest, Liu Xingren is so nervous now.
Because he had been waiting for more than ten days, the emperor still did not order anyone to inform his brother to come and surrender.
He suspected that the emperor had already returned to Beijing and no one was in charge of this matter!
Unexpectedly, the Emperor suddenly summoned him again.
What's going on?
He walked into the combat command room and saw it, and he immediately understood.
It turns out that the emperor is planning this way.
He was also from a corps, so he naturally knew that this sand table was not that simple to make. It would be good to be able to make such a large sand table in ten days.
After the monarch and ministers met, Taichang said bluntly: "You have sent the news and asked your brother to pretend to lead the Navy of the South Four Guards to attack Temple Island. Is it okay?"
Liu Xingren thought for a while and then bowed: "Emperor, as long as Lord Yuan sends someone to the Temple Island and pretends to be stationed, the elder brother of the criminal can lead the Nansi Navy to surrender with justification."
Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, in half a month, you can send the message back."
ah?
I'll have to wait half a month!
Why have to wait half a month?
There is no way, the Shenji Camp and the Shenwu Camp have not arrived yet.
Although Taichang had ordered the cavalry of Shenji Camp and Shenwu Camp to divert the route and rushed directly to Denglaishui City, they were already thousands of miles away from here, so they only changed the route to avoid going to the capital city, and they could not shorten the distance.
There were also 30,000 Shenwu Camp infantry in the capital. They rushed over from the capital with a new batch of equipment from the Shenji Camp and couldn't run fast.
