Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 140 Battle Damage
The capital, the Forbidden City, and the Hall of Martial Arts.

There is a military newspaper in front of Zhu Qiyu, and under it is Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War. At this moment, he is serious and reports the report.

"Your Majesty, Zijingguan came to report. Four days ago, 9000 troops were raised to attack Baiyangkou. The defender Xie Zeli was defeated in three days. The city was broken. Xie Ze died in battle. Yang Xinmin, the military counselor, hanged himself after the city was broken. [-] guarding officers and soldiers died, and more than [-] people were killed in battle."

"Pioneer officer Shi Heng led two thousand remnant soldiers and retreated to Zijing Pass. He was captured first by Luo Tong, the right deputy capital of the Zijing Pass, and is being escorted to the capital to be dealt with by the court."

Hearing Shi Heng's name, Zhu Qiyu raised his eyelids and sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, he still has the temperament of greed for life and fear of death!

A cold look flashed in his eyes, and Zhu Qiyu spoke.

"Families of the war dead should be kindly provided with pensions, and they will all be lavish. There is no need to be stingy. The guards Xie Ze and Yang Xinmin will give them back as usual. They will be promoted to a higher rank, and they will be allowed to have a son."

"As for Shi Heng, I have already issued an edict before, and I have been forgiven by the court for fleeing without a fight. This time, the guard died in battle, but he fled and retreated without a fight. You?"

"Order Luo Tong to execute this person on the spot. After that, if anyone dares to flee without a fight, the generals guarding various places can be killed first and then played."

Yu Qian really wanted to say that it was written in the military newspaper that Shi Heng did not flee in the face of the wind, but fought several times under the command of the defender, and finally retreated with the remnant soldiers after the city was broken.

But the emperor's golden words had already determined his sex, so Yu Qian swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Anyway, there are not many people who can see the detailed military report. Since the emperor said that he fled without fighting, let's pretend that he fled without fighting...

At the moment of the war, it is indeed necessary for someone to sacrifice the flag to prevent anyone from daring to retreat without authorization.

So Shi Heng's fate was decided in just a few words. In such a situation, the life and death of a vanguard official could not even make a splash.

After uncovering this section, Zhu Qiyu turned his eyes back to the military newspaper and asked.

"How are the people in Baiyangkou? How is the opponent's battle damage?"

Yu Qian said: "Back to the emperor, after we guessed and attacked the route first, the Ministry of War has ordered all the passes to merge in twos and threes."

"The people in the small passes everywhere moved to the pass near the strong city or heavily guarded."

"Where no one is on duty in the sky, the passage has been blocked with wood and stones. There are a total of [-] Chen Bing Passes. Among them, there are as many as [-] soldiers and horses, and as few as [-]. The equipment and supplies are complete. You should be able to protect yourself."

"Before the war in Baiyangkou, the people had moved to Juyongguan, and the people in Daomaguan and Zijingguan were also moving out one after another."

When it comes to the arrangement of the people and military affairs, what Yu Qian said is more detailed.

After a brief pause, Yu Qian continued after the emperor finished digesting.

"In the Battle of Baiyangkou, our army killed more than 3000 people. According to reports from spies after the war, Yexian's army killed more than [-] people and injured more than [-] people."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help frowning, and asked.

"How can there be such a disparity?"

Daming defended the city, and had prepared in advance. There were still more than 6000 people killed in the battle, and Yexian's battle losses were less than half of the Ming army?
Yu Qian smiled wryly and said.

"Your Majesty, let me tell you that the siege will use [-] elite soldiers, and Baiyangkou has less than [-] defenders."

"It is difficult to have many enemies with few, and half of the 1 people were newly transferred to Baiyangguan after civil engineering, and the soldiers did not get along well enough."

"Such a record can be achieved because the guard of Baiyangkou, Xie Ze, fought the enemy bravely and issued a strict order to fight to the death without retreating."

Although the emperor didn't seem particularly satisfied, for Yu Qian, he was quite satisfied with this record.

After all, the focus of the imperial court's deployment this time is on Zijing Pass and Juyong Pass. Although Baiyangkou and Daomaguan are also very important, they are slightly less important than Bauhinia Pass.

For this dispatch of troops, 4 troops were first mobilized, excluding the 3 who were responsible for logistics transfers, a total of [-] people. Judging from the battle damage, it is estimated that only half of them will be left when the capital is attacked.

This is good news for Yu Qian who values ​​the safety of the capital more than his life.

Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly, because he was a little impatient.

Ten thousand against forty thousand, and there is no strong city like Datong Xuanfu to rely on. With few enemies and many opponents, and the opponent is all elite, it is already a good record to be able to grind out 3000 opponents.

"I remember that during the Civil War, he also led the main force first, with a total of nearly [-]. Even though he suffered losses in the Civil War, after so long of preparations, he has probably recovered his vitality, leaving [-] Where is the army?"

Yu Qiandao: "According to the deployment of the Ministry of War, the nights at various places in the border defense do not receive reports. After the civil war, we also retreated to Haizi, Weining, and indeed recruited troops from various tribes again. The looting of various tribes caused everyone in many tribes in Oara to feel insecure, and they left some young and strong to guard the tribe, so they did not fully recover their vitality."

"Therefore, the troops dispatched this time have been reduced to a total of more than [-] people. First, I personally led the main force of [-], and another [-] stayed outside Datong City, and sent another [-] to attack Gubeikou."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, got up and came to the border defense map hanging on the side.

Ever since the Oala envoys were sent away that day, this frontier defense map in the Hall of Martial Arts has not been removed.

He fixed his eyes on Datong, Xuanfu, Beigukou and other places, walked back and forth, and said.

"Datong retains troops, I can understand that Datong is adjacent to Yanghe, and it is an important place for Ye Xian's military supplies to be transferred. Even though he captured Baiyangkou for backup, the [-] officers and troops brought by Fan Guang must have caused a lot of trouble. Also pay attention first, it’s just Gubeikou, what’s the use of ten thousand?”

After all, because of what he did in this life, not only did he ascend the throne much earlier than before, but also the arrangement and defense of the border defenses were different from his previous life.

Once the measures on Daming's side changed, the measures to be dealt with first were naturally different from those in the previous life.

Here in Datong, Fan Guang's 6000 people are just for show.

After all, Datong is too important to Ming's border defense, if there is no reinforcement, it will be suspicious first.

Zhu Qiyu ordered Fan Guang to break up the 3 people into pieces, apparently to reinforce 6000 people, but in fact, he would dispatch the army first, focus on the capital, and secretly send the remaining 4000 people to reinforce Datong.

It is the best policy to build the plank road openly and keep the warehouse in the dark.

If you don't even repair the plank road, people will find your old warehouse immediately.

So leave 1 troops outside Datong City first, Zhu Qiyu is prepared for this, but Gubeikou is no less than the strong city of Juyongguan, let alone 6, even if it is, all [-] will go first , It may not be possible to attack in a short while.

Why would he do this?
At this time, Yu Qian also followed in front of the border defense map and said.

"Your Majesty, I am also puzzled by this. According to the news from the guard of Gubeikou, it was Yexian's younger brother King Saihan who led the troops to attack Gubeikou this time. Attacking Gubeikou, but retreating after repeated battles, it seems..."

Zhu Qiyu fixed his eyes on a certain place on the border defense map, and said lightly.

"It seems that there is no intention to capture Gubeikou, but a feint, right?"

Yu Qian nodded and remained silent.

Zhu Qiyu let out a long sigh of relief, turned around, looked past the palace gates, looked at a distant place, and sighed softly.

"First of all, if you are a real hero, you actually went with me, then let's see, whose method is better among us..."
