763 Defense Strategy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Today's Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point of exhaustion after the Songjin War. The emperor and ministers are still a little angry, and more importantly - they still have life-saving straw to count on.

    King Qin's edict to mobilize troops was sent to Qiongshifang. He accepted it without saying a word and said that he would immediately contact the headquarters of Qiongzhou Prefecture in the rear. Apart from the magical telegraph transmission ability, this simplicity was enough to make people sigh.  .  So that some officials in the palace began to worry again - did those young short-haired people accept the edict in ignorance?  They discussed it internally, but regretted it, and then procrastinated and played the trick of being obedient and treacherous.  Just like those governors and commanders outside, that would be troublesome.

    ——Qiongzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. The Qionghai navy does not need to delay. It only needs to march normally step by step. I am afraid that it may not be able to arrive after the new year.

    Qian Qianyi, on the other hand, is quite confident in Shorthair, saying that these people are all businessmen and value credibility very seriously.  So far, there is nothing they have clearly promised that they cannot do.  Normally someone would have to argue with him, but now the cannons were rumbling outside, and the ministers in the palace could only listen and hope that what Mr. Qian Ge said was true.

    The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty took this edict of King Qin very seriously, but in fact Lin Hanlong and others did not take it seriously when they received the edict.  As the main person in charge of the current Beijing team, Lin Hanlong only opened it and took a brief look at it after "obeying the imperial edict", and then asked people to send it to the telegraph room and send the contents to the rear.

    "Very good, the title they want has come I said, where are our large troops now?"

    "Yesterday's report, the main fleet has just passed the Zhoushan Islands."

    Next to him, Chen Tao responded, and next to him, Guo Yi frowned:

    "Why are you so slow? Didn't you set off half a month ago?"

    "The wind direction is not too favorable, and the troop transport fleet is still taking the traditional coastal route. It does not dare to go too far into the sea for fear of being capsized by a storm. Most of our main troops are there, in case we encounter a 'kamikaze'  But it’s all ruined.”

    Chen Tao responded, Guo Yi curled his lips:

    "How could it be such a coincidence?"

    "Who knows, we are going to fight Huang Taiji. According to superstition, this guy is very lucky. He is the founding monarch of the Qing Empire. Our battle may directly destroy a dynasty. In all aspects,  It’s always good to be careful.”

    Guo Yi shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking - since the Jin soldiers broke through Juyong Pass and arrived in the capital, Qiong Haijun's staff team immediately judged that this battle must be fought.  Judging from historical records, the Ming Dynasty alone was unable to drive away those invaders. If they were allowed to wreak havoc in the capital and wreak havoc, on the one hand, Qiongzhen's industrial layout in the capital would be affected; on the other hand,  , but there is no guarantee that Chongzhen himself or a certain Ming Dynasty bureaucrat had a temporary fever and really wanted to buy peace with his short-haired head.

    If it really comes to that point, it will be a lose-lose outcome. It will only benefit Huang Taiji in vain, so we must take the initiative to intervene. On the day when the news of the break of Juyong Pass came back to Qiongzhou Mansion, Baiyantan Headquarters did  The decision was made to send troops to the capital, and the vanguard troops were dispatched that day.  After just over ten days of mobilization, assembly and preparation, the subsequent large forces boarded ships one after another half a month ago and headed towards the northern seas.

    At this time, the will of the Ming Dynasty itself is actually irrelevant. Whether there is an edict from King Qin or not, the Qiong Navy has already set off. According to the analysis sent by Pang Yu to the committee, there are only three situations at that time. The first one is also the last.  It is possible that the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to ask Qiongzhen to send troops, and the army went on the road ahead of schedule, just as the other party wanted, without wasting any time.

    The second is that the city of Beijing was destroyed and the center of the Ming Dynasty collapsed. At that time, it didn’t matter whether they had status or not. The army could just kill them directly.

    As for the last possibility - the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were as hard as iron and refused to ask for help from Shorthair even if they were about to perish.  This possibility is unlikely, but if it happens, even if the army stays in Tianjin Port, it can serve as a deterrent to both the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, preventing them from thinking wildly.

    If necessary, just pick up the comrades in the capital, no matter what the situation in the north is like - since the Ming Dynasty is so wary of short-haired people and their hostility is obvious, there is no point in staying anyway.  Taking advantage of Huang Taiji's plan to sow discord, everyone broke up and broke up.

    The decision on the rear has long been made, and even actions have begun. Naturally, Qiongshifangzhong has no expectations for the imperial edict. It is good to have it, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't

    Lin Hanlong and others are now gathering together, and the main thing they are discussing is still an issue related to their own safety: How should they protect themselves if the city of Beijing is destroyed?

    …………

    Xu Lei walked through an alleyway with bright eyes, going around to both sides from time to timeInspections are carried out in the house.  This area used to be a warehouse group, but now it has been vacated to house the people who took refuge in Qiongshifang.

    The empty ground was covered with straw and crowded with people.  There were a lot of people, but the order was good, and there was no sign of chaos. There was a heavily armed short-haired guard at the door of each warehouse, plus the patrol team that walked through the alley outside from time to time, which was enough to scare anyone who wanted to cause trouble.  Give up the idea.

    But the most important factor that keeps this place stable is that the young and middle-aged people here have been dragged out to work - Xu Lei has experienced several operations in Dengzhou and Liaodong, and is very experienced in refugee accommodation.  He knew very well that in order to keep these people quiet, the most important thing was not to let them be idle.

    So even though Qiongshifang takes in many refugees, it will never let them idle.  Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled who can lie in the house during the day, the rest of the young and middle-aged people have to work, including building barricades, digging soil and filling bags Even if they are not used, even if they are working as foreigners, those people must keep working.  state, consuming their energy and occupying their attention.  This way they won't have the time to cause trouble.

    After patrolling around the city as usual to ensure that everything was normal in the city, Xu Lei returned to the original general manager's office, which had been transformed into a war room, with large maps hanging on the walls and various items spread out on the table.  The drawings and plans are full of tension.

    However, there were not many people among them. Only a few people, including Lin Hanlong, saw Xu Lei coming back and greeted him one after another:

    "Xiao Xu is back, how about the inspection?"

    "It's not bad, the order is still good. Food, fuel and medicine are still sufficient, but the mood is a bit unstable. The cannons on the city wall scared many people."

    "There is no way, the Ming army does not allow us to go to the city wall to help defend. Huang Taiji's alienation plan has finally had some effect Grandma, when did the barbarians become so smart?"

    "What kind of barbarians? They are the mighty Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty! Maybe according to some people's point of view, we are the biggest sinners who resist national integration."

    A few people joked for a while, but their eyes were still focused on the capital's defense map on the table.

    "Has the defense strategy not been decided yet?"

    "It's hard to decide. There are too many people. It's not easy to ensure safety in the chaos of the city."

    ——Qiongshifang has hosted at least more than 2,000 refugees these days, not including their original employees and their families.  Strictly speaking, the Hou Jin army did not besiege the city, but only fought under the city wall from time to time to show off their power. However, even so, the gates of Beijing remained closed, and they did not dare to be careless at all, lest they be careless and the Tatars rushed into the city.

    The same is true for Qiongshifang. The Qionghai navy cannot interfere with the defense of Beijing City and can only focus on the defense of Qiongshifang itself. Even if the Jin army invades the city, they will continue to rely on this city to resist.  .  Xu Lei brought a battalion of more than 600 people to the capital, which greatly enhanced their defense strength. It was not only the increase in manpower, but also the large amount of ammunition he brought.

    Although there were more than 200 people in the original escort team, they only considered daily safety in terms of equipment and did not intend to fight a war.  When Xu Lei led his army this time, he brought enough weapons and ammunition, which was enough to last for a long time.

    But now there is a problem - Qiongshifang itself is not a fortress designed for fighting. As a commercial center, it has an extremely huge flow of people during holidays. Considering the evacuation factor, many entrances and exits have been opened around Qiongshifang. Usually only  It can be managed with a fence, but in urban offensive and defensive battles, these are all flaws.

    On the other hand, a large number of simple warehouses in Qiongshifang are not fireproof, and most of the goods accumulated inside are flammable. Once a fight breaks out, the opponent can easily use fire attacks to force them out.

    "So, this city itself is not suitable for use as a defense base."

    Old Jack and Xu Lei are mainly responsible for the combat work. Both of them have military experience of this era - the former was in Luzon and the latter was in Liaodong. They have both fought in real battles.

    At this time, looking at the floor plan of Qiongshifang on the table, Old Jack pointed out many flaws mercilessly, and Guo Yi was helpless:

    "We have converted several masonry warehouses into fortresses, but we can only hold a small area. And there are not many people in them It is very difficult to hold on for a long time."

    "So, if we want to ensure the safety of the entire collective, we have to find another way."

    Lin Hanlong was confident. After looking at the map of Beijing, he smiled softly:

    "With more than 800 of us, we cannot defend the entire city of Beijing. The environment in Qiongshifang cannot be used as a defense."Barrier.  But in this city, there is a fortress that can be defended by only 1,800 people, and it is very suitable for long-term garrisoning"

    Everyone’s eyes were a little dull. They watched Lin Hanlong’s fingers focus on the large square courtyard in the center of Beijing.

    ——Yes, it’s the Forbidden City.  The center of the world, the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty, didn't its original function exist as a fortress to protect the royal members?
