Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 156

Liaodong is fighting fiercely, and the Central Plains is also in full swing.

After Nurhachi led the army to capture Zunhua with internal and external cooperation, although Nurhachi wanted to enter Jizhou as soon as possible and approach the capital without giving Ming the time to react, the battle of Zunhua lasted only a few days, but his descendants of Jin Dynasty There were not many casualties at all.

The only good thing is that the one who was ambushed at the east gate was not the elite of his Jurchen direct line, otherwise, he would be crippled at the very beginning of the battle.

However, even so, thousands of people were killed and injured in this battle, among which the elite of the late gold accounted for less than half.

Under such circumstances, Nurhachi also had to stop and rest for a few days. After resting, he would naturally not forget to clean up the remnants of the enemy in the city and arrange people to guard the city of Zunhua as a way out.

Three days later, the Houjin army, which had been rested and reorganized, marched again under the leadership of Nurhachi, attacking Jizhou directly.

This time, there is no Jizhou sneaking in, and there is no need to let the enemy drive away. Jizhou, which was empty due to Zunhua, even if Zhu Youjian repeatedly ordered to defend it, it did not have much effect. In less than a day, it completely fell!

Since then, the Gyeonggi defense system planned by the Ming Dynasty for many years has completely collapsed!

The fig leaf that was used by the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty to cover it up was also mercilessly torn to shreds by Hou Jin Bingfeng!

The decadent nature of Daming was also clearly revealed in front of Nurhachi.

Therefore, after breaking through the two passes in Jizhou in Zunhua, Nurhachi couldn't help but sigh to the sky after the soldiers were approaching the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and he only hated that God couldn't give him more time!

Otherwise, it is definitely not a dream to enter the Central Plains once out of reach!

……

The news of Jizhou's collapse soon spread to the capital, but at this time, it was difficult to cause any turmoil.

As early as Zunhua City was broken, Jizhou was broken, and the later Jin soldiers came to the capital, it is already known.

Nowadays, most of the attention in the capital is on how to defend the capital.

The next day, Qin Liangyu and the white-armed soldiers who had long been known for their bravery arrived in the capital, which also eased the tension of Zhu Youjian and the courtiers a little.

For this reason, Zhu Youjian also personally met Qin Liangyu, a legendary female general, and even broke the tradition that foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter the capital, and asked Qin Liangyu to lead white soldiers into the city for defense.

As for the outside of the city, a big camp has been rushed out, and the soldiers from all over Zunhua who broke out from the siege are stationed in it, and the capital and the capital are mutually supportive.

Three days later, Hou Jin's army officially entered the power center of Ming Dynasty, Shuntian Mansion!

With Nurhachi's talent, it is naturally impossible to rush directly to the capital of Daming for a moment of pleasure.

After arriving at Shuntian Mansion, they also divided their troops into several groups, and removed all prefectures and counties other than the capital that might pose a threat to the Hou Jin army.

After all, when Zunhua fell, the Ming Dynasty Hall also learned a lesson, and only selected elites to station outside the city, while the other generals were all arranged in prefectures and counties around the capital, acting as the outermost barriers, trying to delay the return of Jin soldiers. Front process.

A few more days passed like this, and the Houjin army was like pulling out a nail. With one click, it completely turned the capital of the Ming Dynasty into an isolated city!

In such a situation, the Great Ming Dynasty Hall is also helpless, with too few and weak generals in hand, so it can only sit back and watch all this happen.

Ever since, in the first year of Chongzhen, in late October, Nurhachi broke through the Xifeng Pass and entered. It took less than a month, and he was completely under the capital of Daming!

Of course, the first battle of the late Jin army when it came to the Daming capital was not to attack the city, but to launch a fierce attack on the soldiers from all over the place outside Deshengmen, led by the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, Hou Shilu, who had done his crimes.

At this time, although the process is different, the historical changes have completely become a fact in this time and space.

At this time of national calamity, the Yongwei Battalion, which Zhu Youjian placed absolute hope on, has now changed from an overloaded march to a daily march of no more than [-] to [-] miles, twelve hours a day, and almost half of the time. In the midst of a rest.

At this moment, there was still more than an hour before sunset, and the mighty marching team had already stopped advancing, gathered in an orderly manner, and set up camp to rest.

In fact, the current Yongwei Battalion has entered Shuntian Mansion, and it is less than two hundred miles away from the capital. If it is a quick march, it is only a day or two away.

Such a distance is already the limit, and if you go any further, you can say that you have entered the battlefield.

After all, in this era, the detection range of scouts is not small at all.

Just like the Yongwei Battalion, the detection range of the horse scouts has reached hundreds of miles away!

Li Xiu also strictly implemented the system of horse scouts, and made strict regulations for horse scouts in terms of marching, camping, and even combat, as well as the time and place.

Houjin is a nation that grew up on horseback since childhood, and scouting horses will only become more elite.

In this way, the distance of one or two hundred miles can already be said to be the scope of engagement for the two armies.

"Order, except for the scouts and horses, and the necessary guards, the rest of the ministries should take a rest, let the artisan battalion hurry up, repair the chariot, and maintain the ordnance..."

"Let the generals above the general banner of the army come to the commander's account to discuss matters!"

After several military orders were issued, Li Xiu stared at the sand table in front of him, and according to the military news sent by Zhu Youjian, his mind was also spinning rapidly.

Nurhachi claimed to have an army of [-], but the main force of the Jin Dynasty was no more than [-], of which the number of Mongolian tribes was as high as [-], and the rest were Mongol and Han slave soldiers, about [-].

Of course, there were also Ming soldiers who surrendered after Houjin entered the customs. Except for some guarding the city gates that Houjin seized, the rest were also taken with them. There are already tens of thousands of them!

In this way, although it is said to be an army of [-], it is already a real number now!

And Daming...

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel deeply powerless.

In fact, even now, in the face of national calamity, there are not a few generals in Ming Dynasty, and there are still quite a few divisions of King Qin.

But the current situation is very clear.

Nurhachi led the army, drove straight in, and arrived at the capital in less than a month.

This kind of power has already torn away the last fig leaf of Daming, and made Daming, the kingdom of heaven, lose its majesty!

Under such circumstances, if one can't show shame with a big victory, then the fate of the Ming Dynasty will completely decline from now on, and the world and people's hearts will be moved, and it will be difficult to rest from now on!

But the current situation...

It's not a problem to force Houjin away.

Qin Wang's soldiers and horses from all over the world came to a stalemate, and the Houjin would retreat sooner or later.

This result is probably what the courtiers are thinking now.

But if this is the case, then that is the real sorrow, the sorrow of Daming.

Naturally, Li Xiu didn't want to do this either. If that was the result, what's the point of his existence and the countless painstaking efforts he had expended?

But if you want to win big, you have to fight head-on!

Can………

Now that the Ming Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, where can we find an army that can fight head-on with the current Jin Dynasty?

The only Guanning iron cavalry is now restrained in Liaodong, unable to move at all.

And other armies, if they can't fight, if they dare not fight, it will only be a drag and a loophole!

He Li Xiu, his brave guard battalion...

The possibility of fighting alone is extremely great, and the support that the imperial court can give is very little!

The most important thing is that there is no trick at all in this war!

When Hou Jinbing came to the capital, he could only bump into it abruptly!

With Nurhachi, fight a real battle with real swords and guns, head-to-head!

……

Chapter 157

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

In the Palace of Qianqing, which had been suppressed for more than a month due to the unfavorable battle, Wang Chengen's hasty shout suddenly sounded.

Zhu Youjian, who had been fascinated by the defense map of the capital in the palace, frowned subconsciously after hearing the hurried voice, but then, as if thinking of something, he quickly walked towards Wang Chengen!

"Brother Li is here?"

"Your Majesty! Here we come. General Li sent someone to report that he has arrived at Shuntian Mansion!"

"Good! Good!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian's gloomy face disappeared, and he showed a rare smile.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian seemed to have found the backbone, and his mind, which had been tense for several months, suddenly relaxed.

In fact, it does.

From the time when he was the King of Xin, when he first met Li Xiu, to a large extent, it was Li Xiu who had been influencing this ten-year-old boy.

When he ascended the throne as the emperor, the young man was terrified, and it was Li Xiu who had been behind him all the time. But this time, Li Xiu had been away from the capital for so long, and although he had never lost contact with letters, there was no sense of security that he could rely on at any time.

Now, after all, even though I don't know the result, my heart is at ease!

……

"Yongwei Battalion... Li Xiu..."

At this time, outside the capital city, in the Houjin camp, Nurhachi frowned as he took the military situation that the scouts had detected.

He is naturally no stranger to this name, since the new emperor of Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, this name has come into his sight along with the Yongwei Battalion.

And after the turmoil caused by that letter, the importance he attaches to this name has increased by more than an order of magnitude.

With his attention, he can see clearly all the information about Li Xiu and the Yongwei Camp in Daming's dilapidated house exposed to the wind on all sides.

Even when Li Xiu was in Shaanxi, the several turmoil against Li Xiu in the court was all fueled by Nurhachi.

Rival!

"Decree, let Huang Taiji lead the iron cavalry of the headquarters, let Balin Khan accompany him, and stop Li Xiu's department! Never let a single soldier enter the Ming capital!"

Nurhachi gave an order, and turned his eyes to the capital in front of him again.

If it was at the beginning, his strategic plan was just to plunder the territory of Daming, and use Daming's wealth and population to fill the foundation of a solid Houjin and give his successor a stable Houjin.

But now, all the way is overwhelming, and the Ming generals are looking forward to the wind all the way, and there are almost no major obstacles and twists and turns. Nurhachi's mind is a little uncertain.

perhaps……

He can do more!

For example, the Tanyuan Alliance...

Even... the shame of Jingkang?

If he can achieve it, Nurhachi, this life is enough!

Such a great cause is so close at hand, even though he is a soldier and has killed countless people, at this moment, Nurhachi is still unable to suppress the agitation in his heart.

But Nurhachi quickly calmed down with the mind sharpened by iron and blood.

He knew that if he wanted to achieve what he wanted, the first thing he had to do was to make the emperors and courtiers in the capital despair!

The most feasible way to make them despair is to destroy their hope directly.

Nowadays in Daming, there are not many troops who can come to King Qin in a short time.

But once Da Ming is fully mobilized, regardless of the country's turmoil, and completely mobilizes troops from all over the north, no matter how strong he is, he can only leave Daming in despair.

What he had to do was to take advantage of this time difference, and before Da Ming was fully mobilized, he would defeat the Qin King's troops who came and completely destroy their hopes.

As a result, Da Ming was forced to sign a covenant under the city, and even, if possible, to repeat the grand feat of the previous Jin Dynasty, destroying the city and destroying the country!

Although the possibility of these two ideas is extremely small, even a little carelessness will ruin this army entering the pass!

But once it succeeds, the harvest... It is not an exaggeration to say that it will skyrocket!

Undoubtedly, this is a big gamble!

Just like this time I decided to take a detour to enter the customs!

"bet!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Nurhachi made a decision.

If the bet is lost, it is nothing more than ruining the army that entered the pass. The main force of Houjin still exists and cannot shake the foundation of Houjin, but if the bet wins...

Just thinking about it, Nurhachi trembled a little. Taking control of the Central Plains will no longer be within reach!

……

In the commander's tent, after Li Xiu finished his military mission, all the low and mid-level generals retreated. In the tent, only Er Wazi, Zhou Yuji, and Yan Shun stood there.

"Xu Feng, you lead the cavalry army, Zhou Yuji, you lead the rear army, Yan Shun, you lead the front army, and you will be in the middle army!"

"In this battle, the general has only one request for you, and that is to execute every military order of the general at all costs!"

"The military order is strictly enforced. Even if you lose, you are still heroes. If the military order is not strictly enforced, even if you win, you will only be sinners!"

"Understood!"
