Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 178 Good time
Will Jiannu really go to conquer the Mongolian and Yuan tribes at this time?

There is no need to doubt this, because Nurhachi and Huang Taiji are both ambitious people, and they seem to have one belief, that is to expand, expand, and expand again!

This is the case in history. They have never stopped their expansion. If the Ming Dynasty in the south can't be beaten, they will go to the Mongolian and Yuan tribes in the west. One meal, take it down.

Nurhachi had long had ambitions for the Mongolian and Yuan tribes. However, because Daming was easy to bully, he made great strides all the way from Fushun to Jinzhou, and he couldn't stop at all. Therefore, he didn't have much time to conquer Mengyuan. various ministries.

In fact, as early as the 40th year of Wanli, he married the Borzigit family of Horqin as the side Fujin, setting up a springboard for his westward advancement.

More than a dozen of his sons have frequently married with the Horqin tribe, and their influence has slowly penetrated into the Horqin grassland through this method.

For example, Queen Zhezhe of Huang Taiji, Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace Bumbutai, and concubine Hai Lanzhu of Guan Sui Palace all came from the Borzigit clan of Horqin.

It can be said that he has long been fully prepared to conquer the tribes of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

At this moment, Daming was suddenly too hard to bite, and he naturally turned his attention to the Mongolian and Yuan tribes in the west.

As for whether Daming will take the opportunity to counterattack, he is not worried at all.

Because of the rebellion of the chieftain in the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty, it was out of control, and Taichang, who was personally conquered by the imperial driver, was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his troops and went back to wipe his butt.

Of course he had heard about such a big event, Daming wanted to deal with more than [-] chieftain soldiers in the southwest, how could there be enough troops to attack Liaodong?

Therefore, he was very relieved to take [-] fine riders to the west of the Horqin Grassland to conquer the Mongolian Khalkha tribe.

Of course, he wasn't completely defenseless against Daming. From the South Four Guards to Shenyang, he had arranged enough troops to garrison him.

His son-in-law, Liu Aita, the guard general of the Fourth Southern Guard, had nearly [-] infantry and sailors under his command.

In Liaoyang and Shenyang, he directly left Dabeile Daishan to garrison. Daishan not only had nearly [-] infantry from the Eight Banners, but also [-] Han Eight Banner infantry from the generals under the command of Li Yongfang and Tong Yangxing.

He believed that with these 8 people, it would be no problem to withstand the little people in Sun Chengzong's hands.

Even if he couldn't stand it, it didn't matter much, as long as he received the news, he would be able to lead the cavalry back in a month or so. By that time, Sun Chengzong's infantry would be nothing to him!

How could he have imagined that, as soon as he left, Dabeile Daishan had a falling out with Liu Aita, the fourth guard of the South.

This is tantamount to tearing the series of defense lines of the South Four Guards, Shenyang and Liaoyang into two halves!
This situation was extremely dangerous for Jiannu, and Dabeile Daishan knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to send someone to inform Nurhachi. In the dark, he was doing Taichang a great favor.

Naturally, Taichang would not let go of such a good opportunity. Hearing that the Jiannu cavalry was not there, he immediately ordered people to summon the [-] Shenwu Battalion iron cavalry who were far away in Xi'an and Hanzhong. He ordered Wang Cheng'en to quickly find a way to transfer the grain collected from Nanzhili to Denglai Water City.

Now he was determined to take the gamble, and he bet that Liu Aita would really lead the South Four Guards Navy to vote.

As long as Liu Aita really casts his vote, the Southern Four Guards will be in their pocket.

So, how to quickly win the South Four Guards?
In the governor's yamen of Denglai, Taichang specially ordered someone to set up a combat command room.

The walls around the command room are full of maps, including a full map of Liaodong, and partial maps of Nansiwei, Liaoyang, Shenyang and other places.

Originally, Liaodong was one of the nine border towns of the Ming Dynasty, and the maps of these places were naturally very detailed.

In the middle of the war room is a huge sand table, on which is an overview of the terrain centered on the Southern Four Guards, including the Daliao River, Denglai Water City, Shenyang City and Liaoyang City.

Taichang looked at the series of small islands between Denglai Water City and Jinzhouwei for a long time, and then asked: "Li Qing, are these islands under our control?"

Yuan Keli quickly explained: "Originally, these islands were under our control, because these islands are all on the side of our Denglai Water City, and it was more convenient for us to go there, but the Nansiwei Navy has more warships than us, so, We basically gave up on the northernmost Miao Island.”

Taichang was puzzled and said, "Why did you give up such a good place? Miaodao is only a hundred miles away from the southernmost tip of Jinzhouwei?"

Yuan Keli said helplessly: "That's right, Miao Island is only a hundred miles away from the southernmost tip of Jinzhouwei. It is precisely because it is too close that the South Four Guards navy often comes to attack, and our warships are not as many as others. , and Denglai Shuicheng is more than two hundred miles away from Miao Island, and it is too late for support, so in order to avoid losses, I have to give up."

This is not a big problem. If Liu Aita leads the South Four Guards Navy to vote, Miaodao will naturally be recovered.

Taichang stared at Miaodao for a while, and suddenly had an idea: "What do you mean, Liu Aita often leads the South Four Guards Navy to attack Miaodao?"

Yuan Keli nodded helplessly and said: "Yes, this guy is actually quite powerful, he knows that the location is important, so as long as we send people to occupy Miao Island, he will lead the South Four Guards Navy to attack."

OK!

Taichang couldn't help but excitedly said: "This means, if Liu Aita leads the navy to attack Miaodao, Jiannu won't doubt it at all, right?"

Yuan Keli heard the words, nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, he doesn't know how many times he has led the navy to come."

Taichang thought for a while and asked again: "How long does it usually take for him to come here?"

Yuan Keli reckoned: "This depends on our situation. Once we land on Miao Island, he will lead his army to come over in about five days. If we hear the news and retreat, it will take ten days to go back and forth. , If we resist, it will be hard to say. Weichen remembers that the longest time he fought with us back and forth in Miaodao was more than ten days. Calculated from this, he spent at least more than 20 days on that trip. days."

Very well, this time difference is enough.

Taichang said decisively: "Go, call Liu Xingren over."

Yuan Keli couldn't help but look around when he heard the words.

This is where they command the battle, can Liu Xingren come here?

He carefully dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, a knowledgeable person can roughly know how we want to fight after reading this!"

Taichang said to himself: "Judging from Liu Xingren's performance these days, they should be sincere in their votes. Besides, they are not afraid even if they are not sincere in their votes. If they dare to play tricks, Miao Island will be their burial place!"

This, all right.

Yuan Keli had no choice but to order someone to call Liu Xingren.

To be honest, Liu Xingren was very nervous right now.

Because he had been waiting for more than ten days, the emperor still did not order anyone to notify his elder brother to come and surrender.

He even suspected that the emperor had already returned to Beijing, no one cares about this matter!
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly summoned him again.

What is going on here?
When he walked into the combat command room and took a look, he immediately understood.

It turned out that the emperor was strategizing here.

He was also from the army, so he naturally knew that the sand table was not so simple to make, and it was not bad to be able to make such a big sand table in ten days.

After paying respects to the princes and ministers, Taichang said bluntly: "You pass the news to let your elder brother pretend to lead the South Four Guards Navy to attack Miaodao. Is it okay?"

Liu Xingren thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as long as Master Yuan sends people to Miao Island and pretends to be stationed there, the elder brother of the guilty minister can justifiably lead the South Four Guards Navy to vote."

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Okay, in half a month, you can send a message back."

what?
We have to wait half a month!
Why wait half a month?

There is no way, the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion have not arrived yet.

Although Taichang had already ordered the cavalry of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion to divert and go directly to Denglai Water City, they were thousands of miles away from here, and the diversion was just to avoid going to the capital, and it would not shorten the distance much.

There are also [-] infantry from the Shenwu Battalion in the capital, and they can't run fast when they come from the capital with a new batch of equipment from the Shenji Battalion.

There is no way, the number of wheels and boats is simply not enough to transfer the army, and it will take time for nearly 10 people to come here.
