Chongzhen Undergraduates

But what Cao Xi didn't know was that his whereabouts every day had been watched by special personnel sent by the Tiandihui.Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather was such a famous person, and he was also a top technical talent in the post-jin heavy artillery. His daughter-in-law was also Da Yuer's personal maid and Kangxi's nanny. Zhu Youjian couldn't forget it.

"What, he didn't say anything?" Da Yu'er never thought that Azig didn't send any words, and he didn't even fart.

As a woman, Da Yuer has no idea now.She really couldn't find support this time, and couldn't find a sense of security.If these Jurchen nobles are no longer reliable, she will have to find a new way to survive.

Da Yuer is not a person who will die for the sake of status, she will only dedicate herself to the sake of status and will not think of death, it is useless to die for status.

Everyone in the capital knew about the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army, and the flames of war were getting closer and closer to the capital.Da Yuer, who lives in the palace, has never seen what war looks like in her whole life, but there are few women who are not afraid of war. She is not Qin Liangyu, nor is she the strong woman boasted in "Kangxi Dynasty".

In this spring, the capital city was full of yellow sand, and the gray sky covered the sun.When I was in Shengjing, it was said that the sky in the south is bluer than that in Liaodong, and the moon is rounder than Liaodong.

Da Yuer looked up at the sky, it turned out that she hadn't adapted to the sky here, she just liked the big house here.

"Sun, do you think Aijia is old?" Da Yuer looked left and right in the mirror, and she found that she didn't seem that old.

After years of being pampered and pampered, even though he is in his 30s, he looks graceful and charming.Especially when she put on the sultry eyebrows, biting her lip and so on, even she can be fascinated by her.

"The Empress Dowager looks younger than the servants." Sun was not completely flattered, if Da Yu'er was really ugly, she wouldn't be able to charm several men.Under the fine makeup, Da Yuer really does not show her age.

Sun's words gave Da Yuer confidence, but this confidence made her unable to find her target.Women want to please themselves, but Da Yuer can't find someone to appreciate this beauty, what a waste!

Suddenly, Da Yuer thought of that man, and she wondered if her appearance could impress several strong men in this era, would she also be able to impress another king?

"Ah!" Zhu Youjian sneezed several times while riding on the horse. He thought it was a cold.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Li Yan asked with concern.

"It's okay, I guess little Ake misses me." Zhu Youjian smiled awkwardly.

"Hong Chengchou really took action on the military situation that was sent just now, it was very ruthless." Li Yan said.

"Really? What crazy thing did he do again?" Zhu Youjian was really curious about how crazy Hong Chengchou could be.

Chapter 5 Eleven: The two masters line up

Before the Ming army arrived, the city of Taiyuan was already crowded like a market. Not only was every house and room full of people, but also every place that could be filled was full of people.

As long as there are people who don't obey, the army will argue with you with swords and guns.

The walls of Taiyuan City were already full of young and strong people. The weapons in their hands were not firearms or knives at all, but sticks and hoes.

"Report to the army commander that the siege troops encountered difficulties and said they couldn't attack. They resisted the attack." The signal soldier sent Li Laiheng a strange military situation. There were actually some subordinates who directly disobeyed orders on the battlefield. .

"What's going on? The difficulty is that Taiyuan City can't be made by a whole stone?" Li Laiheng still couldn't believe it. There was still a city that couldn't be captured in front of the Ming army's artillery.

"The commander of the [-]st Cavalry Division said that the commander should go to the front battalion to have a look in person."

"Notify all the staff officers of the military department, and go to the forward position with me." Li Laiheng said angrily, he was really angry, and this was the first time he encountered disobedience before the battle after many years in the army.

At the frontier observation post, Li Laiheng had been watching the time with a binoculars for a long time, his face was frozen, and he said nothing.

A bunch of staff members were chattering, and no one could come up with a solution.

"The people standing on the city wall are not all young people, there are also children of a few years old and old men with white beards. Many people will die in one shot." Li Laiheng's chief of staff reminded him for fear that he would order an attack.

The Emperor Ming emphasized time and again that the Northern Expedition was a battle to win the hearts of the people, and that as few deaths as possible, as few people as possible should be killed.The north has been corrupted for decades, and if a large number of people die, how many years will it take for a piece of open land to recover?

"I can't fight this battle, so I'll send someone to report it to the emperor. Besiege the city first." Li Laiheng dropped the binoculars, sat down on the chair and sulked.

In terms of ruthlessness, it is already ruthless enough to break into the army and drive out the people to attack the city.But I have never heard of people who drove out the people to guard the city. It is an anecdote in the world.

……

"Hong Chengchou has figured out what I'm thinking!" Zhu Youjian was helpless.

If it was a foreign invasion, I'm afraid they would have fired without hesitation. Like the Tartars attacking Ming Dynasty, they never cared about civilian casualties.But Zhu Youjian can't do it, he is regaining lost ground, how could he do this.

Is it possible to kill a city just to get an empty city?

"I thought I had to make a quick decision. It would take several days for the military situation to go back and forth. The food in these cities must not be enough for so many people. No one knows what kind of order Hong Crazy will give. I am afraid..." Li I don't say anything under the rock, but anyone can guess what it is.

Zhu Youjian thought of the Scorpion Clan, thought of the Wuhu xx, and thought of the battle of Xinhui in the official history.

"Did I push these people too hard?" Zhu Youjian asked back.

Zhu Youjian thought that it was his own pursuit and liquidation that made these traitors jump over the wall in a hurry and use all means.But in this situation, no one would believe that Zhu Youjian would be lenient, especially Hong Chengchou and other big traitors.

"If it doesn't work, let's give up these cities first and let the troops attack the capital directly." Li Yan looked at the map and thought, time really waits for no one, he must come up with a safe solution for Zhu Youjian.

"Bypassing these cities, what about our army's supplies?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"Two supply lines: one is to pass through Shanhaiguan and supply from Liaodong; the other is to supply from Tianjin Weihai." Li Yan continued: "The supply of these two lines needs to be shipped by sea, which may be very difficult."

Liaodong now has many ports that can land, and the efficiency is naturally much higher than that of Tianjin Wei.But this is hundreds of thousands of combat supplies for the army, not a small amount.Even Midi, who is as strong as the later generations, cannot supply hundreds of thousands of troops by sea for a long time.

Li Dingguo's attack on Liaodong last year was delayed for two or three months because of the problem of landing supplies.

"I just figured out that our army can only advance but not retreat, and we are already in a dilemma." Li Yan said with a bitter face.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Youjian couldn't turn around and play, and when he was with these people who could see three steps with one step, he always had to slow down.

"Crazy Hong is too ruthless. Our army is attacking Taiyuan City now. If we retreat, the defenders of Taiyuan City will not open the city and let the people go. Only when our army really leaves, they will feel relieved." Li Yan said.

"XX, it's really impossible to retreat, and you have to eat people in the city after a few days." Zhu Youjian scolded.

"Order all the armies to spare these cities, bring sufficient supplies, and drive past the defenders of the cities under the noses of the defenders. You must reassure them." Zhu Youjian said helplessly.

"What if these offal don't let people go?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"No. These cities echo the capital. Once the main force of our army enters the capital, a huge fighter will appear in front of Madman Hong.

It is obvious from the situation that our army has been surrounded.This is Hong Chengchou's only chance to make a comeback. He needs the troops from these cities to coordinate operations.Out of the consideration of combat power, how can you fight with so many people?

The minister judged that the enemy troops in these cities would soon release the people.They will pay close attention to the situation of the battle, and if they are favorable, they will immediately rush to our army.The current situation is critical for our army. "

Li Yan's words are not exaggerated, because in the millennium war, how many people really defeated their opponents by fighting?Fighting is actually the most uneconomical battle.

Unless the party with an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment chooses to fight, otherwise it will kill one thousand enemies and injure eight hundred.

Throughout the ages, how many armies have been defeated because of food shortages, fires, floods, internal disintegration, and morale loss.

The Ming army has already entered a tight siege, and the food supply is the top priority. Without food, the army can't last for a few days without cannons.

"How long can the northward army last?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"The first cavalry army can last for ten days, and Gao Yigong's side can last up to five days. In addition, it depends on whether the armies can find food supplies. I estimate that this is unlikely. Hong Chengchou has controlled Beizhili for several years. It is said that the food in the north is already tight, and the current situation of the war alone is probably within Hong Crazy's expectations.

This opponent is too powerful. "Li Yan praised Hong Chengchou severely.
