Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 877 Battle of Jinzhou (4) (fourth update)

The 13-year-old Xiao Shunzhi already has the brains of a politician and military strategist. The current situation has forced him to do nothing without this brain, because this heavy burden has been placed on his immature shoulders prematurely.It is also appropriate to describe the current Xiao Shunzhi as the child of the poor who has already taken charge of the family.

Emperor Shunzhi was unfortunate and lucky.When he was six years old, his biological father left him, and he was forced to sit on this chair that was eye-catching and that no one wanted to sit on, but he couldn't easily sit on it.

Fortunately, with the fatherly love of the regent Dorgon, and the legendary Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang as his biological mother, the emperor Xiao Shunzhi was lucky to have them both to shield him from the wind and rain.

However, Zhu Yousong's time travel, the Ming Dynasty's restoration of the country backlash, and Dorgon's premature death, this little Shunzhi emperor of the Northern Kingdom is unfortunate.

Now, in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Xiao Shunzhi's mother and son, there is a thorny problem.

Emperor Shunzhi's thinking was not wrong. The two castles of Xiaolinghe and Nuerhe in front of Jinzhou City had been captured by the Ming army.

In this case, we can only increase troops to Jinzhou City. How can we send troops from here to reinforce other places?Isn't this the way of self-destruction?
However, his mother seems to have seen further. If there is no reinforcement, the consequences of Dalinghe City being taken by the navy of the Ming army will be quite serious.

Emperor Shunzhi was a little confused and didn't know where to go, so he asked his mother for advice, but at this moment the bad news came that Dalinghe City had been captured by the navy of the Ming army like lightning. Empress Dowager Zhuang and all the officials present were all shocked and at a loss.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has already made it clear what it means that Dalinghe Castle was captured, and everyone present is very clear about it.What is dead end?What is the grasshopper after autumn?What is besieged on all sides?

It took a long time for Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to calm down.

"A big Linghe city, if you lose it, it's no big deal, as long as Yizhou and Heishan are still in our hands. This Hongguang is a ruthless man. The fighting intention of the Ming army is obvious. They will soon send people to attack Yizhou and Montenegro. Your majesty, you sit here, and the Ai family will guard those two places for you."

All the civil and military officials present felt that they were not as good as a woman, especially the emperor Shunzhi who was ashamed.

"The queen mother is far-sighted, and the children are very grateful. It's just that the queen mother needs to bring more soldiers and horses. There are not many troops in Yizhou and Heishan."

"The Ai family will bring 3 troops, and I will leave 7 for you. We need more soldiers and horses here. Zhu Yousong will attack Jinzhou soon. Xingshan, Tashan and Songshan must not be lost."

Emperor Shunzhi resolutely said: "Please rest assured, queen mother, Jinzhou must be there if there are sons and ministers! It's just that the terrain of the Black Mountain in Yizhou is complicated, and our army is not as good as the Ming army now. The mother only brings this little force, so how can the sons rest assured? Let the queen mother lead 5 horses, and leave 5 horses and sons to be sure enough to defend Jinzhou."

"The emperor might as well talk about how to defend Jinzhou?"

Emperor Shunzhi walked around the room a few times, thought for a while, and said: "There is Xingshan Mountain, Tashan Mountain and Songshan Mountain are the horns of each other, and the Ming army will definitely not be able to attack them in a short time. After weakening their spirit, I can launch Jinzhou City's attack." The common people defend the city, there are at least 10 ordinary people in the city, and 1 strong people count as one-third, and then I personally lead the team to defend the city."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang smiled and nodded, "It seems that the emperor has really grown up, and the Ai family can really rest assured."

Ning Wan, a group of civil and military officials present at the scene, all complimented: "The emperor has strategized, and he is sure to win a thousand miles away. We will protect the emperor and Jinzhou City to live and die together. If we are heartbroken, we will die. Please rest assured, Queen Mother."

"Please don't worry, Empress Dowager!" They shouted again in unison, and the trembling hall hummed continuously.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang gave everyone a satisfied smile, and then passed down a decree for Ling Ningwan and me to wait outside the hall, while the rest of the people asked them to disperse.

Only their mother and son were left in the room, and the other two court ladies and eunuchs were also sent away.

"My son was wrong, how can you reassure the queen mother like this?" The empress dowager Xiaozhuang looked solemn.

Emperor Shunzhi was still somewhat smug. He felt that he had learned a lot from his military strategies and cultural relics strategies over the years, and he could use them today.But I don't know why my mother's queen suddenly said this, she looked at a loss.

"The emperor guards the city like this, Jinzhou City must be in danger!"

"Why did the queen mother say that, the emperor is confused."

"Emperor, think about it. This way of defending the city can only add 3 troops at most. Even if the emperor comes in person to boost his ambition, he can still reach tens of thousands of troops? ?The ships of the Ming Dynasty were strong and powerful, and the expeditionary force was invincible in the world. With an increase of 3 such troops, even if the mother and queen did not bring a single soldier, the city would only have 13 horses at best. According to my mother's investigation, the Ming army has at least 15 soldiers and horses stationed outside the city. If they divide into three groups and attack the three cities at the same time, their horns will lose their power and they will be unable to care about each other. In this case , how sure is the emperor to defend Jinzhou?"

The little Shunzhi emperor who said these words was speechless. If the Ming emperor Zhu Yousong really sent troops like this, he would undoubtedly lose everything, and Jinzhou City would definitely not be able to defend for a few days.

Shunzhi felt that his mind was too simple, and his thinking of war was too simple. Things were far more complicated than he imagined. His mother was really a person who thought for a long time, so he quickly knelt down and asked for advice, "Please teach my son."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang suddenly lowered her face: "Get up! You are the king of a country now, how can you kneel down so easily? Only others bow down to you!"

Emperor Shunzhi felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. It turned out that it was not easy to be the king of this country, and he was really not as good as his mother in this respect.Looking at Empress Xiaozhuang's majestic face and deep eyes, Emperor Shunzhi felt ashamed.

"Empress mother, son-in-law realizes his mistake."

"Your Majesty, you will call me Zhen in the future, because you have already ruled in person, and even the queen mother is your subject. You should be like your ancestors, with the ambition to conquer thousands of miles, and the indomitable heart. If your heart is broken, you can't have a state."

"My queen, I understand, thank you for your teaching, I will definitely keep it in my heart, and I won't let my mother down."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked at the determination on Emperor Shunzhi's face, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is the descendant of my Ai Xinjueluo. Remember that if you want to keep Jinzhou, you must rely on the Han people. The emperor will not forget, you back then His ancestors, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, including the regent Dorgon, failed to enter the customs several times. It was because they did not make full use of the Han people. Only by governing the Han Dynasty can we make our Qing Dynasty invincible."

Emperor Shunzhi seemed to be enlightened, and he was overjoyed and said: "I understand, thank you Queen Mother, come and pass it on to Ning Zhongtang."

　The fourth one was delivered, it's gone tonight, see you at seven tomorrow morning.Thank you for your support and recommendation.Good night.
