The news that Lu Hanqiang was about to deliver millions of silver and millions of grain to the capital on February 25 was immediately reported to Huang Taiji by the Jiannu spy who fled back to the palace of Emperor Taiji in the South China Sea overnight, and it was first transmitted to Huang Taiji.
So he urgently summoned the ministers and ministers of Beile Beizi from all over the country, ordered all the banner troops to shrink to Nanhaizi, ordered all the minions to be armed, ordered Daishan to monitor the Jingshi Jingying, ordered Du Du to monitor the Guanning Iron Cavalry, ordered the remnants of Yue Tuo to monitor the Ming army in the three southern provinces, and ordered his own headquarters two banners and Gil Harang and Sakhalian to resolutely annihilate Lu Hanqiang and his army escorting grain and grass, ordered A real decisive battle began.
On February 25 of the third year of Chongzhen, as soon as the sky was bright, Chongzhen changed into a dark dragon yellow satin robe, and he sat down in front of the imperial case to review the documents.
He has been reviewing various documents on military affairs for four years, and has personally written countless edicts, but every time he faces this imperial case, he is worried.
The various notes and newspapers piled up on the case every day were like a hill, and there was hardly a single document that would make him happy.
Some of these documents report the serious situation of the famine, full of shocking words such as "thousands of miles of red land", "the population is cut off", and "the son is eaten", some report the riots of "thieves" and "bandits", and the tragic situation of the soldiers, and some report on the Qing soldiers after they went deep into Kifu, and then continued to advance, and what prefectures and counties were broken, how heavy the burning and plundering, how many Ding Zhuang and ploughing cattle were captured, and some local officials fled from the wind, and some local officials were martyred.
He had to read documents like this every day, but he really didn't want to read them, he didn't dare to read them.
Sometimes, he wants to kick the case over.
Today, Chongzhen did not immediately approve the documents, but first cleaned his hands and heart, kowtowed to the direction of the northern temple, and then looked down at the bronze incense burner on the imperial case.
A palace maid held a blue and white bowl with both hands and gently walked into the warm pavilion.
Another maid took the bowl off the tray and lifted the lid with her hand.
Chongzhen glanced at the palace maid, and then picked up the silver spoon.
His expression was calm, but his hand betrayed him, for the lid of the teacup he was holding made a crisp clicking sound as he stirred the tea foam.
As a result, Chongzhen impatiently put down the soup spoon and tea bowl, waved his hand, and asked the palace maids to withdraw.
Put down the tea bowl, take a deep breath, and then look straight at the south of the capital.
The south pinned his hopes on the dynasty.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Chengen came in carefully, "Long live, everything is arranged." ” Chongzhen put down the teacup, let out a long breath, was stunned for a long time, suddenly got up, walked directly to the window, pushed the window open, and let the cold wind blow his chest, which was getting hotter and hotter: "Lu Hanqiang, the great cause of recovering Liao depends on you." ” Lu Hanqiang was holding Yao Tongxin's hand tightly at this time, and he really didn't know what to say.
This time, Yao Tongxin took the initiative to ask Ying, with 10,000 disguised soldiers and 1,000 carts, to implement the bait plan.
This is a very dangerous task, in the estimation of Lu Hanqiang and everyone, this time Jiannu Emperor Taiji will definitely do his best to encircle and suppress this convoy.
At this time, in the land of Gyeonggi, how many Jiannu were compressed by the Ming army everywhere was close to 70,000, including 30,000 in the four banners of the regular army and 40,000 in North Korea.
Now when everyone calculates the military strength of Jiannu Emperor Taiji, they have included the clothed minions of North Korea, because in the first few battles, everyone has deeply appreciated the combat effectiveness and death spirit of those minions, although everyone does not understand why a minion would work so hard for the master, but this is an indisputable fact.
And this time, in order to cut off the supply of the capital, in order to hit the morale of the Ming army, and in order to make up for their materials, money and food, he will definitely pour out, at this time, Yao Tongxin's 10,000 brothers must be under the siege of at least 50,000 troops, insist on going to the Beijing camp in the capital to help, and insist until Lu Hanqiang's reinforcements arrive, only in this way can he completely surround Huang Taiji and completely defeat him.
Therefore, this time Yao Tongxin's old brother is really dangerous.
"Big brother, take care, take care."
That's all I have to say, I really don't know what else to say.
Yao Tongxin looked up to the sky and laughed: "My little brother, why did you suddenly become a parrot, can't you say something else" and then his expression was solemn: "Brother rest assured, Gou Li Sheji lives and dies, I want Huang Taiji, the little wild boar skin you said to see, I still have Zheng Chen who are willing to die for the country, and there are 10,000 heroes who are willing to die for this Ming Dynasty." ” Then he shook off Lu Hanqiang's hand, turned over on his horse, and yelled at the 10,000 brothers who were ready to go, "Daming man, we are on the road" With his old and vigorous roar, 10,000 brothers who were willing to die shouted together: "Let's go" According to Lu Hanqiang's plan, this time to transport money and grain, to the north, to the capital's You'anmen, and then to the east, to Yongdingmen after entering Beijing, so there are two reasons, one is to avoid Jiannu's base camp in Nanhaizi, to attract them into the field, second, as long as Jiannu is dispatched, if possible, Yao Tongxin will lead a convoy to Beijing City to assault, and then rely on Beijing's tall and strong city walls to form a formation to resist, if not, the distance between Liangxiang and the capital is seventy miles, think about the greatest possibility of Huang Taiji is to intercept and kill halfway, At that time, whether it was their own or the Beijing camp, they could quickly attack the rescue, and then, they and the Beijing camp and Jiannu were entangled here, at this time, the three provinces of Tongzhou in the south of more than 100,000 troops immediately followed up with reinforcements, and the Guanning iron cavalry was far away from the battlefield, but their task was to surprise Zunhua, cut off the back road of Huang Taiji's retreat outside the pass, and completely lock Huang Taiji in the pass.
Yao Tongxin led the convoy slowly to the north, and on the convoy, there were four banners, which was no longer secret, but ostentatious.
Twenty miles after leaving Liangxiang, Jiannu's mobile sentinels began to appear on the left and right of the convoy, and the further they went, the denser the Jiannu's patrol posts became.
At the beginning, Zhao Xiaoming, who was moving with the convoy, also sent expert patrols to entangle and fight with Jiannu's patrols, but later Yao Tongxin instructed Zhao Xiaoming to give up this method of losing his brother's life, and let Jiannu's patrols patrol left and right, and only sent a group of 100 patrols forward, and every time the 100 patrols came back to report, there were almost no leftovers.
When the convoy was fifty miles away, a bloodied patrol survivor Pegasus ran back and reported before taking his last breath: "Jiannu is ten miles away, and we are coming with all our might." ” t1706231537:
