Zhu Qizhen stared at the map closely, his expression very ugly.
Yang Jun directly gave up Badaling City Pass and chose to station troops at Juyong Pass, which was obviously fully prepared.
If the army wants to attack by force, it must be in a forty-mile-long pass. The terrain here is narrow and the formation cannot be deployed. Even if there are thousands of troops, it will be in vain.
The Beihai Guard only had rifles and light cannons, and the Tatar and Mobei Guards mainly relied on swords and bows. It was almost impossible to storm Juyong Pass.
Moreover, the defenders at Juyongguan have heavy firearms, so charging directly at them is almost equivalent to death.
When he was hesitating, Yuan Bin came to report, and Tuotuo Buhua came to see him.
Zhu Qizhen agreed, still staring at the map, thinking about strategies to defeat the enemy.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua was a rough man and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, why don't you attack?"
Obviously, he couldn't wait any longer.
Only by helping the emperor get the capital back, can he attack Oara and seize the place of survival.
Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, and with less than 2,000 men in his hands, running over would be equivalent to death.
He didn't want to stay in the bitter cold land of the far north for a moment. It was no place for people to stay!
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and motioned for him to come forward.
Tuotuo Buhua walked closer and said, "Your Majesty, why..."
"You should know the terrain here!"
Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said: "Yang Jun gave up Badaling and defended Juyong Pass, which means that we can only attack from Guangou. With the danger of Juyong Pass and the firearms in their hands, this battle is impossible.
beat!"
Tuotuo Buhua has been studying the maps of the Ming Dynasty for many years, especially the northern border towns, so he naturally knows the topography of Juyongguan.
However, he had no choice because his people were still starving and freezing in the ice and snow.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take the lead!"
Kill now, even if you die, you have to give it a try.
Although the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia lasted for hundreds of years, he believed that the emperor of Ming Dynasty in front of him would not break his promise.
Zhu Qizhen looked at him and asked: "You are going to die!"
Tuotuo Buhua laughed and said: "If you die, you will die. Please agree with me, Your Majesty, those tribesmen..."
"Okay, you can't die now!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "Juyong Pass is a tough nut to crack. You can't attack it by force, you can only outwit it!"
Tuotuo Buhua took a deep breath and said: "These Nanman..."
Zhu Qizhen turned his head, his face ashen.
Tuotuo Buhua realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words: "No, Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. I...I don't mean to be disrespectful to Your Majesty. I am talking about those officials who receive the Emperor's salary."
, on the one hand, they have to plunder the people’s wealth and wealth, and the family’s money can’t be spent in a few lifetimes. If you are not satisfied with this, you actually want to control the government and openly rebel. Damn it... you are really not a thing!”
"Of course I know they are nothing. When I return to the capital, I will kill them all!"
Zhu Qizhen felt angry and secretly swore that this time, there would never be any mercy.
What kind of benevolent king, what kind of righteousness, let him go away!
He finally understood why Emperor Taizu loved killing people so much, killing tens of thousands at a time.
Because if you don't kill them, they will kill you.
In the so-called Hongwu Four Major Cases, no one died unjustly.
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua still had some words that he didn't dare to say. He recalled that when the Mongols went south to clear grass and valleys, burned, killed, and looted, they committed numerous evil deeds. However, the money they plundered was nothing compared to the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
These people kill people without using knives, how cruel!
Zhu Qizhen did not stop gesturing around Juyongguan, looking for a suitable attack point.
Tuotuo Buhua's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Liaodong, and he said: "I will take the people to Shanhaiguan and attack the emperor from both sides!"
"Shanhaiguan is more dangerous than Juyongguan. It doesn't even need to be heavily guarded. You are not enough to watch."
"How about... the emperor allocates more troops to me?"
Zhu Qizhen rolled his eyes at him and said dissatisfied: "I only have so many people in my hand, where can you steal them from?"
Tuotuo Buhua smiled awkwardly, then thought about it and said, "There are still Duoyan Sanwei and Mohewei, who can be transferred here."
"I have already dispatched the elite Mohe Guards. As for the three Duoyan Guards, I have sent them an edict from King Qin. However, their troops and horses are still in the far north. I don't know how long they will have to wait. It will be at least ten days and a half.
There will be no reinforcements inside."
"Then... where are the troops and horses in Liaodong?"
Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "They were all replaced by those sons of bitches. The people I sent to deliver the message couldn't even get through the city gate!"
There is no choice but to take off without flowers. These people are too well prepared. Everything they can think of has already been thought of by others.
However, the mighty Ming Emperor was "died" just like that?
Now the people are right in front of us, but the city defenders turn a blind eye and insist that the emperor is gone. There is really nothing they can do!
"Yes!"
Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen pointed to a place on the map and said: "Take a detour to Xifengkou. There are not many defenders here. Follow the Luanhe River Ancient Road all the way south to reach the capital!"
Tuotuo Buhua stared at the map and studied it for a long time, then asked: "From the map, it looks like they are all mountain trails, and I am leading the cavalry..."
Zhu Qizhen nodded affirmatively and said: "The Luanhe River floods every year, and the surrounding people have moved away. Now that the river is frozen, you can pass through it."
Tuotuo Buhua agreed: "In that case, I will set off now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Zhu Qizhen took out the prepared edict and said: "This is my own edict. You can take it with you and show it to the officers and soldiers you meet along the way. If anyone says it is a fake, he must be a rebel and will be killed without mercy!"
"I obey the decree!"
Tuotuo Buhua put away the edict, turned around and left, marshaling his troops to attack Xifengkou.
When Atulu saw this, he couldn't sit still and took his brother-in-law Usak to ask for a face-to-face meeting.
Zhu Qizhen asked: "What do you want?"
When they drank together in the past, Arturu was quite relaxed, but now that the relationship between the two has become a monarch and a minister, things have become a little more subtle.
Especially seeing the emperor worried, it seems that the war situation is unfavorable.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to ask when we will attack?"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "I haven't thought of a good way to defeat the enemy."
Arturu asked again: "I just saw the Tatar tribe heading north, I don't know..."
Zhu Qizhen said: "Juyong Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I ordered the Tatar tribe to find another attack route."
Atulu thought for a while and said: "I would like to ask the emperor to send a route to the Mobei Guards!"
Zhu Qizhen had this intention, and searched carefully on the map, and finally...
"You take my edict and take a detour to Yu County!"
Atulu didn't know where Yu County was. He looked at the map and said, "I'll set off right away."
Yu County was the first pilot project of the New Deal. Local officials were all selected from the grassroots level, and some even had no meritorious titles.
The rebel parties and factions in the DPRK were mostly from gentry families, and may have less influence on Yu County.
