    On the afternoon of the same day, the Hou Jin Army cleared the remaining Ming army resistance along the Xifengkou line, and the Huang Taiji Army began to enter the border wall. If based on the principle of two points and one line, a line is drawn from Xifengkou to the capital of the Ming Dynasty on the map.  , then Zunhua, an important border fortress town of the Ming Dynasty eighty miles southwest of Xifengkou, is the first stop from Xifengkou to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. On the straight line from Xifengkou to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, including Zunhua, there are  Behind the three points is Jizhou, then Sanhe, and Tongzhou is the last barrier of the capital, with a total length of 350 miles. In addition to the key point of Zunhua, there are three transportation hubs of Jizhen and Liaozhen.  The camp is only fifty miles away from Xifengkou. The distance from Santun camp to Shanhaiguan is 260 miles, passing through Qian'an and Funing in the middle. The Santun camp is the closest to Jimen from Liao Town.  Once this route is captured, the high-level channel for Shanhaiguan reinforcements to Ji Town can be cut off, and the threat from the flanks can be eliminated. After the Jin army entered the border wall in large numbers on the 27th, the two important military points of Zunhua and Santunying were  It had been exposed to the front of the troops of the Hou Jin Army. But throughout the day on the 28th, the Hou Jin Army only marched to Hanerzhuang, twenty miles away from Xifengkou. All the troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty strangely stopped advancing. It seemed that  What are you waiting for? ¡­ On the same day, across thousands of miles of land and oceans, there was a fleet in the distant East China Sea galloping towards Shandong. Huangshi held another military meeting on the flagship. The preface was Jin Qiude, Huangshi and  The three battalion officers all sat down and waited for the staff's deduction report. "Commander, colleagues, the commander's flagship will arrive in Dengzhou within three days. According to our estimates, Jiannu may have completed the breach by this time. If  If not, we can also find some reasons to delay for a period of time. Once the news comes that Jiannu has breached the news, we can take the initiative to ask for help and go to fight against Jiannu. Below is the battle plan made by the Staff Department. Please  The commander-in-chief and his colleagues took a look at it." Jin Qiude handed the four briefings to Huang Shi and the three front-line commanders, then raised his pointer and began to explain in front of the map: "In this deduction, the Staff Chief  It is based on Yuan Chonghuan's treason. As we all know, Zhao Shuai was transferred from Jizhen to Shanhaiguan by Yuan Chonghuan, so this person must be an unreliable candidate in Yuan Chonghuan's mind." Jin Qiude turned around and clicked Xifeng on the map.  This point: "Judging from the previous deployment, Jiannu will almost definitely break the news through Xifeng Pass. Mao Shuai also wrote to the court several times before his death, saying that Jiannu had plans to invade the territory from now on. So after Jiannu breaks the news, he will  There is only one route to the capital, and that is from Xifengkou to Zunhua, from Zunhua to Jimen, from Jimen to Sanhe, and finally to Tongzhou, and then directly to the capital city." Jin Qiude spoke quickly.  The whip in his hand drew a straight line along the official road on the map. Then Jin Qiude looked at this straight line and sighed: "Zunhua is the entrance. Jimen is the back door. After passing through Jimen, there is  Entering the Gyeonggi Plain. But if the officers and soldiers stick to Sanhe and Tongzhou, Jiannu will still not be able to attack the capital. In this way, Yuan Chonghuan and Jiannu will not be able to achieve a decisive victory. " " Running all the way, Jiannu will definitely not be able to carry siege equipment.  As long as Zhao Shuai can stick to Jimen or Zunhua, the breach of establishing slaves will not be able to go deep. If Zhao Shuai can stick to Sanhe or Tongzhou, then the progress of establishing slaves will still be limited, so" Jin Qiude made a crisp decision  He made a judgment: "Shuai Zhao must die, and his troops must also be eliminated." Jin Qiude looked around the people in the room. All the people looked very serious, but did not raise any objections, so Jin Qiude said again  Looking back at the picture, he drew a straight line along the official road on the right side of Ji Town and said: "From Shanhaiguan. Take Fuping, Yongning, Qian'an, Santunying to Zunhua. This is the shortest road from Liao Town to assist Ji Town.  .Yuan Chonghuan will definitely let Zhao Shuai take this path." "Ah!  "Jia Minghe and Yang Zhiyuan exclaimed at the same time. Jin Qiude immediately closed his mouth and turned around to look at the two men intently. Jia Minghe first raised his hand, then pointed at the picture and asked: "This  Aren't you going to die?  Xifengkou is only fifty miles away from Santun Camp, and the cavalry arrives day and night. However, it is more than 250 miles from Shanhaiguan to Santun Camp. Even if one person has two horses, and they keep changing horses and supplies at the stations along the way, the cavalry will take three days and three nights.  If you can¡¯t get to Santun Camp from Shanhaiguan without sleeping, San Tun Camp must have fallen long ago.¡± ¡°Yes, this is to die. However, the staff does not think that San Tun Camp will fall prematurely, because once San Tun Camp falls, it will never fall.  The shortcut from Liao Town to Zunhua is blocked." Once Hou Jin took control of the Santun camp, the Liao army could only retreat to Yongping Prefecture along the same route, then take Huizhou and Kaiping Zhongtunwei to enter the Gyeonggi Plain, and then  Then go around in a big circle to Bao, Xianghe, Sanhe, Jimen and then go to Zunhua. Jin Qiude said with confidence: "Although Santun Camp is only fifty miles away from Xifengkou, Zunhua is only eighty miles away from Xifengkou.  However, if you want to annihilate Zhao Shuai, it is absolutely impossible to capture Santun Camp and Zunhua prematurely. If I were a slave chief, I would deliberately leave Santun Camp and Zunhua undefended and let them go.  Zhao Shuai passed the Santun Camp towards Zunhua, so that his troops would run sideways in front of our main army formation. At this time, I led the Santun Camp to Zunhua's official road and pinched both ends at the same time. Zhao Shuai and  Only one of his pro-soldiersDon't even think about running away." "It's too natural to take for granted," Yang Zhiyuan also shook his head, and he said to the picture: "Didn't Marshal Zhao understand the map? How could he take this path?  Jiannu is eighty miles away from Zunhua, and Shanhaiguan is more than three hundred miles away from Zunhua. Moreover, Jiannu came out first, and Zhao Shuai came out later. How could he compete with Jiannu?  Moreover, there are only thirty or forty miles between Santun Camp and Zunhua. The cavalry can rush over in a blink of an eye, and they can quickly retreat when encountering enemy troops. How could Jiannu capture Commander Zhao?  "Jin Qiude smiled faintly: "Of course it would be impossible if there was no Yuan Chonghuan, but the premise of our hypothesis is that Yuan Chonghuan is treason. First of all, he can force Zhao Shuai to take this shortcut to die, and at the same time, the Slavery Association has a tacit agreement not to attack the Three Kingdoms.  Tunying and Zunhua. If Commander Zhao refuses to go, he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and Yuan Chonghuan can capture him on the spot. If Commander Zhao goes, and the three camps and Zunhua are not lost, then why should Commander Zhao withdraw?  Come?  He Dingyuan, who had been silent all this time, began to express his opinion: "If you think about it carefully, it's not all about dying. If I encountered this situation, I would have to rush over three hundred miles as fast as possible.  The road is only thirty miles away from the target, so I have to try it no matter what. Well, according to common sense, even if I am discovered by Jian Nu, I am a cavalryman. When Jian Nu reports back and the army is dispatched, I will be there early.  It has already rushed in front of Jian Nu." "That's right. This is the most reasonable judgment." Jin Qiude immediately picked up what He Dingyuan said, and then sighed: "But I don't think Jian Nu came by spying on horses.  When investigating the movements of Marshal Zhao, they had known for a long time that Marshal Zhao would definitely take this route, so they had already set up an encirclement with both ends blocked. Waiting in front of Marshal Zhao must be the ambush of Jian Nu!  " Seeing that there was still a look of doubt on someone's face, Jin Qiude strengthened his tone and asked: "Speaking of which, the distance from Xifengkou to Santun Camp is fifty miles, and the distance from Xifengkou to Santun Camp is eighty miles, and the distance from Zunhua to Zunhua is 80 miles.  If they can't finish walking in four days, are they still slaves as we know them?  " The room fell silent again. Huang Shi looked around at his confidants and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?  ¡± Everyone was silent, only Yang Zhiyuan complained softly: ¡°Incredible idea, all this is based on Yuan Chonghuan¡¯s treason.¡± ¡°Vice General Yang, you also agreed that day,¡± Jin Qiude smiled.  , and said loudly: "The Chief of Staff thinks this plan is perfect. Even if Zhao Shuai was killed, Yuan Chonghuan can say that he was too impatient to pay attention to the investigation." Huang Shi scanned the people around him again, and this time there was no objection.  Huang Shi turned back to Jin Qiude and said, "Okay, let's continue talking about what's relevant to us. Where is our expected battlefield?  " "It should be under the capital. Maybe the capital has fallen." "Nonsense," Jia Minghe was shocked, and then objected fiercely: "How could the capital have fallen?  It is impossible for Jiannu to attack the capital city. Once our main force arrives in Shandong, we can quickly go into battle. Zunhua is already an important town. The Jimen natural barrier is also known as the line of sky. Jiannu's large-scale westward movement will definitely not be able to build siege weapons in time.  .There are Sanhe and Tongzhou behind. How could they all fall so quickly?  " "You can use internal support." "One or two fortresses are possible, but it is impossible to use internal support for all four fortresses." Jin Qiude said categorically: "If this internal response is the governor of Jiliao, then everything is possible."  Everyone fell silent again and waited for Jin Qiude to write. Jin Qiude continued: "Annihilating Zhao Shuai should be only the first step. Next, we should take down Zunhua and Santun Camp. They are useless.  In this way, the threat from Houjin's side and rear has been completely eliminated, and at the same time it has taken a big step forward. But under normal circumstances, Ji Town should have been mobilized by this time, not just Ji Town. Zhending Town's army and border troops  It will also move towards Jimen, and soon the ground troops will gather in Sanhe, Tongzhou, and Jimen." Once Beijing is under direct military threat, emergency ground troops will be issued immediately, and an urgent mobilization order will be issued within a few days.  The news will spread out of Beizhili, and the ground troops of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shandong will immediately set out. At this time, there was still peace in the Ming Dynasty, and the border armies had not yet joined forces with the peasant army, so King Qin issued an order  The armies of each army will definitely respond immediately. After receiving the order from King Qin, the generals will rush to the capital as quickly as possible with their servants and troops. "This is the first time that Jiannu invaded the invaders, and the Mongols who came with them came together."  Most of them still have doubts. It's okay to expect them to rob and fight with the slaves, but it's absolutely impossible to expect them to fight against the Ming Dynasty's fortress. Even if the Mongols suddenly become ill and are willing to attack the fortress with all their strength, don't worry about it yet.  Even if they can defeat them, by the time Jiannu has reached Sanhe one by one, it will not be possible for even a month. By then, the Qin and Lu armies will have arrived in the Gyeonggi Plain.  ." The audience below nodded repeatedly. What Jin Qiude just said was a normal deduction of war. Then Jin Qiude changed the subject: "But we assume that Governor Ji Liao has committed treason. In that case,The situation will be completely different. First, he will take the safe Changli and Huizhou lines to avoid the danger of confrontation with the Hou Jin Army, and then go straight to Sanhe through the Xianghe River. Well, the General Staff believes that under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that Jiannu will attack by force.  Jimen is naturally dangerous, so Jimen is likely to be still there at this time, and Governor Ji Liao will rush to Jimen in person and take over command of the battlefield in Jimen's natural danger." "Next." Jin Qiude turned around again and gave instructions.  The three positions of Sanhe, Tongzhou and Jingshi are shown in the map: "The governor of Jiliao commanded three towns and one guard, and Jizhen was a military town directly under his jurisdiction. When the Staff Department deduced the role of building a slave party, it was determined that Jimen and Sanhe would be attacked by force.  It is very unreasonable and the losses will be very large, so the best plan is to order the Governor Ji Liao to transfer the ground support troops gathered in Jimen, Sanhe, and Tongzhou away from this invasion route." "Where?  "Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help shouting stop. He asked loudly: "Where will he be transferred?  Shunyi?  " Jin Qiude stopped and looked at the map where Yang Zhiyuan mentioned the location. He shook his head and objected: "Well, I'm afraid Shunyi is too close. It's dozens of miles away. If the capital is in danger, you can rush back immediately." " Is Shunyi still close?  What about Huairou?  "Yang Zhiyuan raised his voice an octave. "I'm afraid it's still close." Huairou was fifty miles farther from the capital than Shunyi, but Jin Qiude was obviously still dissatisfied. "Then where will he be transferred?  Changping or Miyun?  "Yang Zhiyuan's tone became higher and his words became more urgent. This time Jin Qiude seemed satisfied. He nodded in agreement and said: "I think Miyun seems to be a good place, so I will leave far away.  Sanhe and Tongzhou are on the front line, and it is easy to make excuses, such as preparing for Hou Jin to attack the capital from the direction of Miyun." "Nonsense!  "Yang Zhiyuan stood up angrily, pointed at the picture and shouted: "How can you express such a reason!  Jiannu has arrived in Zunhua. If they want to attack Miyun, they need to follow the path they came from and exit the border wall from Xifengkou, then detour hundreds of miles in Monan, and then attack Gubeikou. After Gubeikou is breached  Only later can Miyun be threatened. Is Jiannu so stupid?  " Jin Qiude held the pointer in both hands and faced Yang Zhiyuan and said without changing his expression: "Jian Nu should not be so stupid, but you can't deny the possibility that they are stupid. Such a transfer is at least more reasonable than transferring Huairou.  Some, and it can also be adjusted further away from the capital." Yang Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment, so Jin Qiude ignored her and turned to look at the picture again: "Well, in fact, Changping is not bad. After all, it is the country's capital.  The imperial tombs of all dynasties are located here, so we must not make any mistakes. I think we can also transfer King Qin's army from around Zhili to Changping. This reason is also very good." "This is even more nonsense. Jiannu is east of the capital. You  But he wants to transfer King Qin's army to the west of the capital." Yang Zhiyuan became angry again when he heard this. He retorted angrily again: "Guarding the line of Jimen, Jiannu can't peek at the Three Rivers, guarding the line of Sanhe, and Jiannu can't peek  You can't spy on Tongzhou, and if you guard the capital of Tongzhou, you will be safe. And as long as the capital is not lost, there is no need to worry about Changping further west." "I didn't say that I was worried about Changping, I wasn't worried about Changping at all, I just said that this reason is completely  Isn't it the first thing a loyal minister and adopted son should consider to take action to protect the imperial mausoleum from being disturbed?  "Jin Qiude still had a calm expression on his face: "You are commanding the Ming army from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty. What I am talking about is how to command the Ming army from the perspective of the slave land. Of course, there is a huge difference between the two.  Big." "You are delusional!  " "The Chief of Staff conducted the deduction based on the premise that Yuan Chonghuan was treason. You, Vice General Yang, agreed to this premise that day." Yang Zhiyuan sighed and sat down slowly: "Vice General Jin, please continue, but I think this is still the case.  No. If Yuan Chonghuan wants to transfer King Qin's army, then he will have to send troops to defend Tongzhou, Sanhe, Jimen, or Zunhua. So after King Qin's army is transferred, unless he directly rebels, Jianu will still be  It is impossible to invade the Gyeonggi area." "This is a better solution. I can use the excuse to defend the enemy from outside the country, transfer King Qin's army, and then transfer all the Liao army to Jimen, leaving no soldiers in the middle, and then  Just turn it on and off." "Switch?  " "Yes, it is best not to rebel immediately. The Chief of Staff believes that turning the enemy on and off is the best way. Since all the troops in the middle have been transferred, the slaves will definitely be able to drive straight into the capital city. Yuan Chonghuan will lead an elite group of confidants to drive away  Catch King Qin before other King Qin's troops arrive. After entering the capital, he will cooperate with Jiannu inside and outside." Jin Qiude saw that Yang Zhiyuan's face was starting to gather anger again, so he got ahead of him and said: "The Chief of Staff considers Yuan Chonghuan to be treasonous.  Based on the premise for deduction, Deputy General Yang, you already" "Yes, yes, I agreed that day," Yang Zhiyuan interrupted Jin Qiude impatiently, and he asked loudly: "But now I  I would like to ask a question. What do you think Yuan Chonghuan wants?  " "This is not supposed to be part of the work of our General Staff Department. We just put forward hypotheses and then started to deduce." Jin Qiude shrugged and said with an expression that it was no big deal: "But since YangWhen asked, I will give you two personal opinions. First, the emperor is still young. Judging from his performance in the past two years, he is probably not a saint." Jin Qiude originally wanted to Chongzhen.  Compared to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he thought about it but still did not say such disrespectful words: "Yuan Chonghuan may have thought that the emperor was easily intimidated and easily deceived. A young emperor who grew up in the palace might be surprised.  Agree to negotiate peace. And if Hou Jin really agreed to negotiate peace, then Yuan Chonghuan's reputation would probably be almost the same as that of Guo Ziyi, who retreated the Hu cavalry alone, right?  " Yang Zhiyuan feels that this statement is not unreasonable. Chongzhen's performance over the past year has indeed been inconsistent. Whether it is taxing the disaster area or conniving Yuan Chonghuan to kill Mao Wenlong, it shows that this child does not understand the basic essentials of governing the country. The most important thing for an organization is  It is order. There should be a cause-and-effect relationship between the actions and outcomes of people and places in the organization. Those who abide by order must at least have a way to survive. Emperor Chongzhen collected taxes from disaster areas. This was challenging the bottom line of law-abiding people. In the past, regardless of whether China  No matter how hard the local people are oppressed, as long as those who respect the government can barely survive, most people will not risk their lives to go against the government. The same is true for allowing Yuan Chonghuan to kill Mao Wenlong. In the past, no matter how military attach¨¦s were oppressed by civil servants,  But at least they know that as long as they abide by some rules of the game, their lives are always safe. But now that Chongzhen does not punish Yuan Chonghuan who blatantly violated the law, then he will not blame the military generals for starting to play the role of self-respect and obeying orders instead of propaganda.  "In my opinion, the emperor will probably agree to negotiate a peace." Jin Qiude felt that such a soft-eared emperor was probably a weakling, and Chongzhen had no insight or opinion. Therefore, Jin Qiude estimated that once the Jin army came to the city, Chongzhen would probably be frightened.  He compromised: "If the emperor still refuses to compromise, then Yuan Chonghuan will have no choice but to side with the emperor." He Dingyuan and Yang Zhiyuan roared at the same time: "Then he is the most rebellious in the world!  " "It's just a dead end. Anyway, Yuan Chonghuan knows that his five years of peace and Liao is a lie, and he will die no matter what, so he might as well give it a try. Well, maybe he can establish a new king and see if he can become Cao Cao." He Dingyuan shouted.  Get up: "Why?  Rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished by everyone." "Sigh. There are many things here. He will definitely not say that he and Jiannu cooperated internally and externally. Most likely, he will say that he killed Jiannu and took back the capital.  "Well, let's leave the charge of cooperating inside and outside to someone else." Jin Qiude rolled his eyes and said casually: "For example, the Eunuch Cao Huachun who is next to the emperor, I think it would be good to blame him, um. Let's say Cao Huachun opened the door.  The enemy soldiers came in. Anyway, what these scholar-bureaucrats like to do most is to rely on the emperor if the country is destroyed, and rely on the father-in-law if the war is defeated." In fact, Jin Qiude's words did not slander the gentlemen of the Donglin Party. In the original  In local history, when the Shun Army captured Beijing and they were demoted, 90% of the Donglin Party members went to ask to continue serving as officials. When the Shun Army officials saw that many senile bureaucrats also came to apply for employment, they asked the white-bearded people to return.  Of course, the Donglin gentlemen refused to go home to provide for themselves, saying, "As long as you use me, your beard will turn black." These Donglin gentlemen also rushed to flatter Shunjun's men, saying that Chongzhen was "given by a single husband, punished by heaven."  "Destruction". Before Chongzhen died, he rang the Jingyang Bell to let the ministers enter the palace to protect him. None of the Donglin Party members went. Later, when Li Zicheng asked about this matter, they said that it was not that they did not go, but that Chongzhen's eunuchs were blocking the way.  The ministers were not allowed to enter and die to serve the emperor. These gentlemen knew clearly that Wang Chengen, who was in charge of palace confinement, had hanged himself with the emperor, but they still wanted to pour black water on the heads of the princes. Later, the Donglin Party discovered that Cao Hua Chun was not dead.  They began to make up lies and said that it was Cao Huachun who opened the gate of Beijing. However, at that time, Cao Huachun was in mourning in his hometown and not in the capital at all, but they didn't care. In short, the civil servants are all good, and the country is all ruined by eunuchs.  , it was all eunuchs, not civil servants, who betrayed the emperor. "Therefore, the Chief of Staff suggested that we rush to the aid of the capital as quickly as possible and fight Jian Nu at the gates of the capital. Otherwise, if the emperor agrees to the peace negotiation, or Yuan Chonghuan takes action to clear the emperor, we will be lucky.  If Ning Jun fails, he will become a rebel." Jin Qiude said as he handed the final plan drawn up by the Chief of Staff to Huang Shi. "There is also a Manchu commander," Jia Minghe looked at Jin Qiude's plan.  . Suddenly asked: "I have seen Man Shuai, a man who is upright and has a grudge against Yuan Chonghuan. He will neither be rebellious nor listen to Yuan Chonghuan's blind orders." "Well, he always likes to charge and kill the enemy first.  A local hero." Jin Qiude said disapprovingly: "There are too many ways to defeat a hero. A glass of poisoned wine, a dagger, and a cold arrow. It is too easy to create an accident on the battlefield. The commander-in-chief cannot guard against it all day long.  Are you guarding Guan Ningjun like a thief?  "  On the second day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, Dengzhou Prefecture Huang Shi led the leading troops to arrive in Dengzhou by fast boat today. He immediately went to visit Zhen Yucun, the prefect of Dengzhou. After hearing that Huangshi suddenly arrived, Zhen Yucun was very surprised.  , hurriedly left the Yamen to greet him.  "Master Zhen, I was ordered to go to sea to fight against thieves. Unfortunately, the army encountered storms at sea, so I came to Shandong to take shelter." As Huang Shi said this, he took out the military edict and the order from the Ministry of War, and handed them to Zhen Yucun for verification.  Zhen Yucun nodded in agreement, invited Huang Shi to the Yamen Hall to serve tea, and began to inspect Huang Shi's ground defense. Huang Shi sat in the guest seat and drank tea while patiently waiting for Zhen Yucun to go to work. After verifying that the imperial edict was correct, Zhen Yucun  Yucun also asked someone to take out the inspection seal from the Ministry of War for verification, confirming that the documents Huangshi gave him were genuine. The Ministry of War indeed allowed Huangshi to send troops, and also asked several inland provinces, including Shandong, to assist Huangshi in military operations. "Yeah. Documents.  There is no problem, the official knows, but there are still a few documents that need to be troubled by Huang Shuai." After Zhen Yucun carefully copied a copy of the document, he asked Huang Shi to stamp it with his seal, which can be used as Huang Shi's seal in the future.  Evidence of stopping at Dengzhou Prefecture. In addition, Zhen Yucun also ordered the account books to be served. If Huangshi wants to transfer money and food from Dengzhou Prefecture, these will also need Huangshi's seal before they can be recorded in the account for the court's inquiry.  After stamping a document happily, Zhen Yucun put the document away solemnly and asked with a smile: "Huang Shuai is going to Ryukyu this trip. Wouldn't it be closer to go to Jinghaiwei or Weihaiwei to allocate money and food? Why?"  Are you coming to Dengzhou Prefecture, which is located in Xiaguan? " Jinghaiwei and Weihaiwei are both on the top of the Shandong Peninsula. And Dengzhou Prefecture is in the Bohai Bay. Huang Shi clapped his hands and sighed: "Master Zhen doesn't know anything.  I also wanted to go to Jinghai and Weihai to replenish food and fresh water. However, the army was sent out this time. There were so many soldiers and horses that the reserves of these two guards were simply impossible to use. So I had to come to Dengzhou Fucheng to ask for help. I guess I have to engage in business.  It will be enough for the people to buy some." Zhen Yucun was surprised when he heard this: "I wonder how many troops Marshal Huang will send this time?" Huang Shi stretched out two fingers and shook it. He sighed sadly: "  There are 20,000 horses, infantry, and naval forces. I wonder if the money and food in Dengzhou are enough? " "Hiss¡ª¡ª" Zhen Yucun immediately gasped after hearing this. The scale of Huangshi's troops was beyond his imagination. He hurriedly  He asked the master next to him to open the account book and flip through it with his fingers hurriedly: "Huang Shuai, calm down a moment, let me take a good look at it." After a while, Zhen Yucun sighed softly again and asked without raising his head.  : "I wonder how much food Huang Shuai needs?" "Twenty thousand horses, infantry, and navy, enough for thirty days." Hearing this, Zhen Yucun was shocked again: "Why do you need so much?" "These days, to avoid the wind.  We have gone through a lot of unnecessary journeys, and we have also thrown away a lot of fresh water and food to save the ship, so the army's land reserves are running low." "I see." Zhen Yucun slowly closed the account book, raised his head and said apologetically: "  Huang Shuai, the treasury doesn't even have half of it. I'm afraid it needs to be allocated from surrounding counties and Laizhou Prefecture." "It doesn't matter, our fleet has been scattered anyway, and I have asked them to come to Dengzhou Prefecture one after another.  It will probably take some time on the road. When the Funing navy gathers again, well, it will take more than ten days anyway. Master Zhen should have almost enough food in twenty days, right?  " Zhen Yucun did some mental calculations and felt that time was still a bit tight, so he smiled and said: "I will do my best, but Huang Shuai had better go to Laizhou Mansion and allocate more food there, otherwise Huang Shuai may be hindered.  Shuai¡¯s itinerary.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to Lord Zhen.¡± ¡°Huang Shuai is too polite, this is also the duty of a lower-ranking official.¡± Before leaving, Huang Shi handed Zhen Yucun a gift of gold, which contained fifty taels of silver. Zhen Yucun Su  Knowing that Huang Shi was generous, he happily accepted it. He politely sent Huang Shi out of the yamen, and at the same time ordered the yamen servants to prepare the post house. According to common sense, there are not many typhoons in October of the lunar calendar, but who knows how the weather changes outside the sea?  Can you explain it clearly? Except for Huang Shi and other core members, the ordinary officers and soldiers in the fleet did not know what the upper management was doing. They were all told that there was a wind on the sea at the outpost, so the entire fleet had to avoid Huang Shi.  I'm a little worried that He Dingyuan's loud mouth will cause trouble, but this time He Dingyuan also knows the seriousness of the matter. Entering other military towns without purpose is tantamount to conspiracy and rebellion. Once this crime is confirmed, a lot of people will lose their lives. So He Dingyuan  He repeatedly promised Huang Shi that he would keep this secret in the coffin. Huang Shi felt more at ease with the staff officer group. Pan, who was under the jurisdiction of Jin Qiude, never gave Huang Shi any trouble; Jia Minghe's thoughts were all devoted to consolidating.  He chose the top of Fengying Mountain to follow Huang Shi closely and would never cause trouble for Huang Shi. Yang Zhiyuan was both an old brother and the boss of the military law department. He knew best how serious the crime of leaking military secrets was.  The factions in Funing Town were gradually established unknowingly. Within the existing system, He Dingyuan is the boss of the Military Academy Department, Jin Qiude is the boss of the Staff Department, and Zhao Manxiong seems to have a very natural position.  In fact, she has connections with Li Yunrui, Bao Bowen and Liu Qingyang, the people she recommended to Huangshi.  In the past two years, Li Yunrui and his three brothers seem to be planning to form their own group and draw a clear line with Zhao Manxiong. Huang Shi is not sure whether this is Zhao Manxiong's self-protection strategy or the three of them.  Self-protection strategy. But since they can see the situation wisely, Huangshi pretends to be deaf and dumb, as if they are not aware of the factional divisions in the land. Starting from Huangshi, every hilltop in Funing Town knows how to pretend not to understand.  , Shi Ce seems to think that Huangshi¡¯s true attitude is to encourage factional differentiation, so he has recently started to engage in the Northern Fujian Navy Sect. Although these people are all careless on the surface, even if they are as straightforward as He Dingyuan, they will never dare to go inward.  At least he never mentioned that Funing Town¡¯s Teaching Department would train the internal guards and those priests. According to Huangshi¡¯s plan, the Funing Town Marine Division would continue to come to Dengzhou to stop.  Judging from the deductions of the General Staff Department, Hou Jin's invasion of Ji Town in the Ming Dynasty is imminent. Huangshi plans to find excuses here to delay for a while. Once Hou Jin enters the pass in a large scale, Huang Shi can immediately send troops to reinforce Gyeonggi and repel Huang Taiji.  The invading troops tried to inflict heavy losses on them. On the same day, outside the Santun Camp, "I reported to the commander that the Santun Camp is safe and sound. It is reported that the slave slaves have approached Zunhua, but Zunhua has not fallen yet." "What a good luck. We were actually allowed to fall."  We've caught up." After hearing the good news, Zhao Shujiao really didn't believe his luck. After Yuan Chonghuan received the order from Houjin Army to invade Ji Town, he immediately asked Zhao Shujiao to go out. He took the route of Funing and Qian'an.  Route to Santun Camp. He must finish the 260-mile road before Houjin completes the fifty-mile road from Xifengkou to Santun Camp, and rush through the soon-to-be-closed terrain before Houjin.  Blockade line, directly enter Zunhua City for defense. "Jiannu's movement is really slow this time, I thought I couldn't catch up." Zhao Shujiao felt that he was one day later than Hou Jin, and he was five or six years away from the enemy.  times, so I was always worried that my trip would be in vain. But I didn't expect that Hou Jin didn't even cover the fifty miles in four days. The Ming army was able to knock Hou Jin's defense line open and close it again: "Look  We came to build slaves because we ran out of food and grass, so we walked so slowly.¡± ¡°For three days and three nights, Zhao led his four thousand servants and soldiers without taking off their armor or unsaddled their horses. They drove all the way from Shanhaiguan to Shanhaiguan.  Come, more than half of the horses have been killed. Now they are only thirty miles away from the goal: "My sons, we don't have to care about horse power anymore. Go ahead and rush into Zunhua City!" Zhao led the teacher with full confidence.  He led his troops out of the official road of the Santun camp and headed straight for Zunhua. Although it was dangerous to pass by the enemy's formation, if you didn't care about the horse power, you could cover the thirty miles in the blink of an eye.  It's over. Afterwards, the Jin Army's scouting horses will return to the camp to report the enemy's situation. The other party will ask about the situation before organizing troops to attack. It's too late anyway. Besides, the other side may send another scouting horse to verify the number and flag of their own army. The second day of the lunar month  , the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, Zhao Ledjiao, was ambushed between Zunhua and Santun camps, and the entire four thousand cavalry army was wiped out After annihilating Zhao Ledjiao's army, the Jin army reversed the situation of standing still for four days, and the main force quickly advanced westward.  . In the early morning of the third day of the lunar month, the Hou Jin Army arrived at the foot of Zunhua City. The city gates should be opened immediately to lure the Hou Jin Army into the city. Ming Governor Wang Yuanya committed suicide and died for his country. At the same time, the Hou Jin Army also launched a thunderous offensive against the Santun Camp, and in a  The city was broken within a few hours, the gap in the front flank of the rear road was closed, and then it expanded to the west, rushing along the road where Zhao led the teaching, and the movement no longer seemed slow at all. On the fourth day of the lunar month, the Jin Army was two days old  They marched one hundred miles westward for two nights and captured Qian'an. The front threatened Yongping and Funing. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had already led 20,000 Guanning cavalry into the pass. He did not even look at Yongping and Funing, whose right flank was under threat.  With a quick glance, Ning took the route of Changli and Huizhou and headed straight for Bao and Xianghe.  On the same day, the capital. Chongzhen urgently summoned Zhang Heming, a scholar of Wuying Palace.  From the 28th to the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Jin army had no further military operations for four consecutive days, so the emperor's heart gradually calmed down. King Qin's troops around the capital were coming, and it seemed that the gap in the border wall was very large.  It would be closed soon. But in the past two days, the situation took a turn for the worse. Wang Yuanya, the governor of Jizhen, committed suicide, Zhao Lianjiao, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan Pass, died in the battle, and all the Zunhua and Santun camps fell. The situation near Xifengkou collapsed rapidly. Zhang Heming was just one  Entering the house, Chongzhen hurriedly shouted without waiting for the old man to slowly kneel down and salute: "Old Zhang, no courtesy!  Please give me a seat." "Thank you¡ª¡ª" As soon as Zhang Heming started talking, Chongzhen shouted impatiently: "Mr. Zhang, how did this situation become so bad?  " Zhang Heming had already read some memorials before his Majesty saw him. The alarms near the border wall came like snowflakes, and there were calls for reinforcements everywhere. The magistrates in every place thought that they were in charge of the Later Jin Army.  An attack target underground. When Zhang Heming began to twist his beard, Chongzhen shouted anxiously again: "Mr. Zhang!"  ¡±  "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the art of war: Those who are good at fighting will be invincible without losing the enemy. Therefore, the victorious soldiers win first and then seek battle, and the defeated soldiers fight first and then seek victory. Therefore, the old minister believes that the current plan is  , the only way to cope with the changes is to remain unchanged, and wait and see the changes for the time being." Chongzhen originally stood up to listen to Zhang Heming's words. After hearing this answer, he walked slowly back to the throne, sat down slowly and asked again  : "Now that the Donglu invaders have invaded the border, Governor Yuan may not have entered the pass yet. Is Mr. Zhang willing to share my worries and supervise Ji Zhen for the time being?" "This" Zhang Heming twisted his beard again: "Your Majesty, I heard this.  There is something about the art of war" "Sun Chengzong, the great scholar of Wuying Palace, has arrived." A eunuch outside the door shouted in a long voice. Before the voice ended, an imposing old man in red walked into the palace. Sun Chengzong walked into the palace.  He bowed neatly: "Long live my emperor" "Sun Qing's family is safe!" Chongzhen shouted hurriedly. He had also sent people to find Sun Chengzong. In Chongzhen's mind, he believed that Sun Chengzong, Zhang Heming, and Yuan Chonghuan  Among the three, Yuan Cong Huanping is the tallest, and Zhang Heming is a little behind, but Sun Chengzong can also listen to his opinions. After all, Sun Chengzong also directed Liaodong for several years, and he is not completely ignorant. "Long live my emperor, long live,  Long live." Sun Chengzong lowered his head and shouted long live indifferently. After finishing, he said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After Sun Chengzong stood up, Chongzhen ordered again: "Give me a seat." "Thank you, Your Majesty!"  Sun Chengzong shook his sleeves and waved his right fist like a bell: "Your Majesty! There is a saying in the art of war: if you attack, you must take it, and you cannot defend it. If you defend it, you must consolidate it, and if you defend it, you must attack it!" At this time, the little eunuch was already there!  He moved the bench behind Sun Chengzong, but he did not bother to sit down. He looked directly at the emperor on the throne and said sonorously: "If Jianqi invades this time, then Jimen, Sanhe, and Tongzhou will be attacked."  Also, if we want to defend it, we must station heavy troops in Jimen, Sanhe, and Tongzhou, and defend the places where the captives must be attacked. Then the capital will be worry-free." Chongzhen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked Zhang Heming: "  What do Mr. Zhang think?" "Master Sun's words are very good." "Well." Chongzhen lowered his head again after listening, as if he was thinking about something. "Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong thought that Chongzhen was still hesitating whether to stick to Xi with all his strength.  From Fengkou to the official road to the capital, he shouted anxiously again: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Jimen to supervise the Ji army and King Qin's army to fight." "Otherwise." Chongzhen seemed to have made up his mind, and he rejected it loudly.  Sun Chengzong proposed: "If Mr. Sun leaves the capital, who can help me with military affairs?" On the fifth day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong mobilized troops on behalf of the emperor. The famous general You Shiwei hurriedly sent troops to Tongzhou and organized a defense line along the river.  , and sent out sentries to both wings to spy on the ferries from Shunyi to Xianghe, and mobilized rural soldiers to prepare to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in martial law. Since Liu Ce, the governor of Jiliao, took office, Yuan Chonghuan did not allow him to get involved in the military affairs of Jizhen, so  In the past seven months, Liu Ce has been staying in Baoding and has never gone north to Jizhen. After hearing that the Jin army entered the pass from Jizhen, Liu Ce thought it was his defense area, so he hurriedly ordered the troops in Baoding and Xinle.  , rushed to King Qin of the capital at starry night. Sun Chengzong ordered Liu Ce to immediately rush to Jimen to hold on and make up for his mistakes. At the same time, he assigned troops to garrison in Sanhe and organized another river defense line in front of the Tongzhou defense line. Sun Chengzong also specifically asked to send out reconnaissance cavalry to search.  The ferry between Pinggu and Bao. At the same time, Sun Chengzong also explained that if Jimen was not lost, then Liu Ce should lead the main force to defend Jimen. After receiving the order, Liu Ce hurried eastward to set up defenses at Jimen and Sanhe.  , after Sun Chengzong arranged everything, Chongzhen also said generously: "Thank you, my dear, for living up to my expectations." "It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the Holy One, but arranging troops and formations is really not what I am good at.  I don't know if this is appropriate." Sun Chengzong looked at the picture again with a serious expression, and said honestly to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to say whether I will be able to hold Jimen or not.  I don¡¯t know if the Sanhe defense line is safe, so I will deploy a few more lines. This way, although the troops are somewhat scattered, it will still be easier to defend. And with three lines of defense in a row, even if there is an emergency, you will not be caught off guard.¡± ¡°Well, then.  Does Sun Aiqing know who is good at using troops?  " "Your Majesty, I recommend Ma Shilong." After hearing Sun Chengzong mention this person, Chongzhen suddenly became unhappy. The defeat of Ma Shilong in Yaozhou could be regarded as a drag on Sun Chengzong. It also caused him to lose his official position. Sun Chengzong wanted to keep Ma Shilong.  He did not hesitate to resign in order to save his life and official position, but Ma Shilong immediately changed his family and went to Wei Zhongxian after the fall of Sun Chengzong. Ma Shilong not only bribed Wei Zhongxian, but also worked with other generals to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian. What is particularly abominable is that Ma Shilong  Seeing that Sun Chengzong seemed to be in trouble, he defeated his benefactor and blamed Sun Chengzong for the failure of Yaozhou and other places. This was regarded as giving Wei Zhongxian a letter of nomination, thus saving himself.Tianqi died unexpectedly at an early age. When Chongzhen came to power, Ma Shilong was immediately relieved of his military duties. Guards in royal robes arrested him and brought him to Beijing, where he was thrown into prison to face charges such as defeat, corruption, bribery, and the establishment of a shrine. He was finally sentenced.  A prisoner-killing prince is now waiting to die in prison. Ma Shilong, the emperor's wife, will be sent to the execution ground to be executed. "How could Mr. Sun protect such an unscrupulous villain?" "Your Majesty, Ma Shilong was born in a general family and has never been taught by a saint.  "There are countless scholar-bureaucrats who have joined the eunuch party, so how can we demand so much from him as a general?" Sun Chengzong paused and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the battle in Yaozhou was not Ma Shilong's fault. The main reason was the incompetence of the old minister.  There were disagreements and discord in the army. Ma Shilong was a veteran general in Ningxia, and he had accumulated merits until he was the governor of Tongzhi. Later, the old minister personally invited the right governor, Shang Fang Baojian, for him. He was interested in his talents rather than his virtues." "In this case,  I will follow what Sun Qing's family said and let Ma Shilong come out and make meritorious service." "Old minister, Ma Shilong, thank the Lord for his grace. He will definitely be able to contribute to the country." In history, Ma Shilong never let Sun Chengzong down again. He was released from prison.  Soon after, he began to advise Sun Chengzong, and he also contributed a lot to re-stabilizing the situation in the capital. After the Zunyong Battle, Sun Chengzong recommended Ma Shilong to return to Gansu to resist the Mongolian invaders. There, Ma Shilong also made great achievements one year ago.  After three great victories, a total of more than 1,800 tools were killed. When Ma Shilong died of illness a few years later, he had already accumulated merit and became the crown prince Shaobao and the governor of the left. If Sun Chengzong did not have such ambition, how could Marshal Ma be able to regain his official reputation?  What about enjoying life in peace?  On the fifth day of November, Chongzhen ordered the troops in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong to serve the king. At this time in Dengzhou, the Funing military and local fleets were arriving one after another, and 16,000 troops had already arrived. Huangshi used the excuse to replenish supplies.  , stayed in Dengzhou, waiting for news from Zhili. "Brother Yang, are you still doubting the Chief of Staff's inference?" In private, Jin Qiude talked about this issue again, and Yang Zhiyuan said calmly: "It's really too much.  Unbelievable." "How about a bet? I bet Yuan Chonghuan can turn on and off the enemy." Jin Qiude smiled. He had also heard about the bet between Yang Zhiyuan and Zhang Zaidi. Jin Qiude shook his finger: "If you really  If you don¡¯t believe me, do you dare to bet a hundred taels of silver?¡±
