Chapter Twenty-Six: Jingying Training


On June 1, Xiong Tingbi was recalled from his hometown, and the emperor gave him the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of War.

After returning to the court, he first asked to stop demoting officials who had attacked him, but Zhu Youxiao ignored him.

Then he proposed the famous tripartite deployment strategy: deploy heavy troops at Shanhaiguan, increase troops at Denglai and Tianjin, send troops to Guangning to contain them, and send troops at sea to attack the rear of Jiannu.

After Zhu Youxiao read it, he summoned Xiong Tingbi alone and asked him directly: "I have some questions after reading Xiong Qing's strategy.

The main question is whether we focus on defense or offense."

Xiong Tingbi Khan appeared immediately.

Although his strategy was vague, the emperor directly saw his plan.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I plan to focus on defense first, and then wait for the appropriate opportunity to attack again."

"His ideas are not tolerated by the ministers, because the ministers want to regain their old territory, but he wants to defend first and does not think about attacking, just like the former Yan Guan attacked him.

In his deployment plan, he said that he would deploy heavy troops in Shanhaiguan and increase troops in Denglai, Tianjin.

In fact, he wanted to stick to the turtle shell tactics first and then develop.

Although in the memorial, he first said that "Guangning used cavalry to fight against the enemy."

On the river, he uses the situation as a grid and embellishes it with all his strength."

This is just to cover up.

"I don't understand warfare.

However, if Xiong Qing wants to deploy heavy troops at Shanhaiguan and inside the pass, there will inevitably be few troops outside the pass.

If the slaves come to attack, how will we deal with it?"

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of reprimanding him, Xiong Tingbi calmed down: "I am guilty, I think about it.

If the enemy comes to attack, you can move with your camera.

If the enemy is numerous and fierce, you can withdraw your troops first and wait for the enemy to retreat."

Then take advantage of it.

If the enemy is few, you can attack it.

When reinforcements come, you can retreat."

After saying this, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Zhu Youxiao thought that if it were another emperor, of course he would not agree to this, and neither would the ministers, because it was a naked fear of the enemy.

But he knew that it would be difficult for the Ming army to defeat Jiannu in a field battle.

In this case, of course we should avoid his sharp edge.

He knows about guerrilla warfare, and it should be a good way to use guerrilla warfare to deal with the slaves.

"I have heard a saying, if the land is lost and the people are lost, the people and the land will be lost.

If the people lose the land, the people and the land will be saved.

Xiong Qing seems to understand this truth very well, so I am relieved.

However, the imperial court has purchased a large amount of red wine from Macau.

The barbarian cannon is actually the ultimate weapon for defending the city.

After the cannon is delivered, you can choose a strong city and place a large number of red barbarian cannons for solid defense. " "Your Majesty is wise, I thank you for your kindness."

Xiong Tingbi understood that the emperor wanted to use this method to silence the ministers.

"I have promoted you to Minister of the Ministry of War.

I will conduct a military expedition in Liaodong.

You should guard the line of Guangning for me.

Guangning must not be lost.

I have my own arrangements for the rest of Tianjin and Denglai.

Whoever you want to use can be rewarded by me.

I give you Shang Fangjian and the power to do your job, I hope you will not disappoint me."

Xiong Tingbi asked the Taoist ministers Gao Gao and Hu Jiadong, who were the supervisors of the army, and Fu Guozhaoxue, the supervising doctor, to resume their official positions and let them serve as directors.

It is recommended that Liu Guojin, the original chief of the Liao people who praised paintings, be appointed as the deputy envoy for recruitment and training in Denglai.

Tong Bunian, a fellow magistrate of Kuizhou, was appointed to supervise the military affairs in Denglai.

In order to win the hearts of the Liao people, Zhu Youxiao all agreed and decreed that Xiong Tingbi be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War and right deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stationed in Shanhaiguan to manage military affairs in Liaodong and other places.

He also ordered Bi Ziyan, the censor of Qiandu, to patrol Tianjin, and Tao Langxian, the censor of Dengzhou Road, to serve as the censor of Qiandu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and to patrol Denglai and other places.

Shen Yourong was promoted to commander-in-chief and governor-general, and took charge of Denglai coastal defense affairs.

The third day of July in the first year of Tianqi was the day Xiong Tingbi set out for his journey.

Zhu Youxiao gave him a unicorn suit, four colored coins, and a banquet in the suburbs.

He sent ministers of civil and military affairs to accompany him for a farewell party, and sent Yang Guanggao and Zhou Yuji to take two An infantry battalion, a cavalry battalion, and an artillery battalion escorted him to his post.

After explaining to Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Youxiao called Yang Guanggao again and said: "Remember what I said to you the day before yesterday.

You can take a closer look at what the soldiers in Liaodong are like and whether they can fight against Jiannu.

This time Camping and training, as much as possible To be able to get close to actual combat, the main thing is to let the soldiers adapt to the climate and terrain of Liaodong, test command, marching, and coordination of arms, and try to get as close to the front line as possible, but not to cross the river and fight with Jiannu."

Yang Guanggao nodded happily.

On the fifth day of August, Qin Liangyu returned to the capital from Shanhaiguan with only two female guards and her injured son Ma Xianglin.

Zhu Youxiao summoned her again and once again rewarded her with many gold and silver cloths and Ma Xianglin's colored coins.

Both the queen and the pure concubine gave her some gifts, and Zhu Youxiao ordered Lu Qin to lead two infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion to escort her back to the southwest.

In addition to three battalions of regular soldiers, Lu Qin also had a supply camp.

Zhu Youxiao ordered him to collect food and grass from the local government office according to the number of soldiers wherever he went.

I am afraid that officials from various places would not cooperate.

Zhu Youxiao He gave Lu Qin Shang Fang Jian and asked him to issue a receipt after receiving the grain and grass.

In the future, the receipt could be used as evidence of tax payment.

This method was formulated after discussion between him and Xu Guangqi.

Let's try it first to see how effective it is before deciding whether to implement it nationwide.

Just as Xiong Tingbi set out, Wang Huazhen's memorial came.

He deployed his generals and set up six military camps along the Liao River.

Each camp was assigned one general and one guard, and each camp was divided into separate areas.

Defense posts were set up in Xiping, Zhenwu, Liuhe, Panshan and other key places.

The memorial was published in the residence newspaper.

Xiong Tingbi disagreed after reading it, and wrote: "The river is narrow and unreliable, and the castle is too small to accommodate the garrison.

Now we should only defend Guangning firmly.

If the troops are divided and garrisoned on the river, the strength of the scattered troops will be weak."

The enemy sneaked across the river with light cavalry.

If we focus exclusively on one barracks, our army will inevitably lose strength.

If one battalion is defeated, all other battalions will be defeated, and the defense posts in Xiping cannot be defended. , You should not gather in one place to give the enemy an opportunity to attack. " Zhu Youxiao affirmed Xiong Tingbi's opinion, but also issued an order to Wang Huazhen, who was promoted to governor of Liaodong and ordered the original host and guest troops in Liaodong to focus on defending Guangning.

On July 12, Xiong Tingbi arrived at Shanhaiguan.

Yang Guanggao and others bid farewell to the governor and began to march towards Guangning.

According to the emperor's request, they marched for thirty miles every day.

As a result, they only walked fifteen miles before it became dark on the first day.

In the evening, the Beijing Camp convened a meeting of officers above the divisional level.

Dozens of people crowded the big tent.

Everyone was saying hello and saluting, making it very lively.

Yang Guanggao patted the table, and there was a sudden silence.

"Brothers, the emperor attaches great importance to the Beijing camp.

Everyone knows that today is the first camping training.

The emperor said that it should be thirty miles a day, so that we can reach Guangning in ten days.

Now we only go fifteen miles a day. , that’s half the rate.

Why does this happen?
