Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

Chapter 152: important town

The world is so helpless, being held tightly in Shaanxi by the court, not allowed to move in the slightest.

No matter how well prepared Li Xiu was and how much resources he expended to speed up the march, the capital of Shaanxi, with a distance of more than 2,000 miles, was still an insurmountable journey.

After all, the roads of this era are not as well-connected as in later generations!

There are only a few official roads, seven detours and eight detours, and several important towns are connected. In some places, there are even no official roads at all. This is why the wars of this era are important fortresses.

Because if you don't seize those heavy cities on the main roads, you have nowhere to go!

The estimated distance of more than 2,000 miles was actually far beyond this distance.

In addition, Ningyuan goes to Shaanxi, which is a long way for messengers to travel.

In fact, since Li Xiukai pulled out his troops, he has fallen behind the Jin army by a lot.

Li Xiu led the Yongwei Battalion and was still in a hurry on the way, while Nurhaci had already integrated all the Mongolian ministries.

But for the imperial court, only at this time did they know what it meant to be a soldier when it was time to use it!

The main force of Houjin was eyeing the tigers in Liaodong. The elites of Liaozhen, who had always been regarded as the confidence of the courtiers, were not dared to do anything at this moment.

In fact, after Yuan Chonghuan's military intelligence report was sent to the capital, the courtiers who had been shouting to Yuan Chonghuan to quickly lead troops to stop Nurhaci suddenly shut their mouths.

The courtiers naturally knew the role of Liaozhen. Even if Liaozhen was there, even if Nurhaci pierced the sky, he would not be able to stay in the Central Plains for a long time in the end, and he would have to go back sooner or later.

But if Liao Town is lost, it will be completely over. Shanhaiguan is only a few hundred miles away from the capital. In the future, Jin's soldiers will be able to reach the capital in a few days. Nandu, repeating what happened in the previous dynasty.

Daming has to become Nanming, that is a big disaster!

Daming's most elite frontier army in Liaozhen could not move, so before the arrival of the King of Diligence in the world, they had to rely on the frontier army in Jizhen, and... um, Jingying...

It's just that the courtiers are naturally very clear about what kind of rotten things they are in the border army in Jizhen and Jingying.

Although there are preparations in advance, the decay and decay can not be solved in a short time!

Since then, the will of urging the army of Qin Wang from all over the world is like snowflakes, which are scattered everywhere every day, urging, urging, and urging.

And this time, the courtiers finally stopped thinking about keeping Li Xiu and Yongwei Camp in Shaanxi.

In fact, when the news of Houjin's dispatch came to the court, everyone knew that this time, it was impossible to hold the Yongwei Camp again.

It is inevitable that the Yongwei Camp will return to Beijing.

And the fact is also true, out of bad taste, Li Xiu led the army back to Beijing, and every day he did not forget to report the progress of the march to the Ministry of War.

This has disgusted many courtiers.

Everyone knows that you, Li Xiu, have never been in the Ministry of War, and now you report every day, what a fuss!

However, the speed at which the Yongwei Camp marched really surprised many courtiers.

The rest of King Qin's army could walk fifty or sixty miles a day, so it was still the result of hurrying and slowing down, under the constant urging of the imperial court.

Judging by the progress of the march, this brave guard battalion seems to be marching for at least eight or ninety miles every day. This speed is almost catching up with the marching speed of the cavalry!

Sun Chengzong, who was temporarily appointed by Zhu Youjian to coordinate the defense of Jingji, after learning about the flying speed of the Yongwei Battalion, he said in public that if the marching speed is so fast, the Yongwei Battalion can still maintain a complete organization and will fight. To meet Nurhaci, the Yongwei Battalion should be the absolute main force.

The courtiers naturally cannot deny this evaluation. Although after several battles to pacify the thieves, the courtiers also know that the Yongwei Camp is by no means a weak team, but its true quality is still something that needs to be studied.

But in the current situation, it is also a good thing to have a strong army to help.

It's just that Li Xiu's maverick attitude made many courtiers worry.

As a result, there were a lot of remarks above the court, saying that the war is now, and when the Yongwei battalion returns to Beijing, the Yongwei battalion needs to be incorporated into the battle sequence, unified orders, and unified command.

Such remarks, Zhu Youjian naturally ignores it.

Although it is a good thing to have unified orders and unified command, he knows the minds of these courtiers too well. If he dares to issue an order for the Yongwei Battalion to obey the commands of the courtiers, they will absolutely dare to bury the Yongwei Battalion as cannon fodder!

He, Zhu Youjian, wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but these old foxes couldn't think of it.

Obviously, this war has not yet officially started, and the Ming court seems to be divided, and it is even difficult to unify the orders.

In fact, Li Xiu also ignored this point.

He ignored how much Zhu Youjian valued his only military power.

On this point, Li Xiu was the exact opposite.

The casualties of war are unavoidable. In this war, if he wants to show his style, he must choose the most difficult fight!

To achieve the desired result, you must face Houjin's most formidable front!

As long as he wins, what if the Yong Guard Camp is disabled?

In this era, the most indispensable thing is people!

And while Li Xiu was still rushing towards the capital, Nurhaci's soldiers completely tore the fig leaf of the Ming court.

At the beginning of October in the first year of Chongzhen, Nuerhaci led an army of more than 100,000 troops, divided into three routes, and entered through Xifengkou.

Daming Hongshankou participated in the general, Hanerzhuang deputy general led the army to help him, and the army was defeated and died.

Panjiakou guards Jin Youguang, Daankou guards Zhang Zhiming, guerrilla general Zhao Tianfu... Many Ming generals look down at the wind and change their bodies, from the frontier army of Daming to the general of Houjin, guarding the back road for Houjin, suppressing the military and civilians, and forcing them to shave their hair!

The will of each city under the Son of Heaven will be strictly adhered to, in this corrupt environment, it seems that it has no effect.

Of course, this is also normal. After all, Jizhen is the only danger of the hero of the Nine Sides, but the poverty of the Nine Sides should also be headed by Jizhen.

The rise of Houjin and the growth of Liaozhen swallowed up too many resources that should have belonged to Jizhen.

Therefore, it can be said that the army of Houjin entered the customs without any hindrance. It was wrapped in the frontier soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers were approaching the important town of Zunhua!

This time, it was different from history. Under the coercion of Jin Bingfeng, the rear of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan did not dare to move.

Therefore, Zunhua City in this time and space did not have the support of the elites of Liao Town. Of course, the support in history was a tragedy.

Of course, Zunhua is not without support. After Jin entered the customs through Xifengkou, the court also urgently ordered Miyun and other border troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and Shanxi Xuanfu and other troops to enter Zunhua City. , and in Zunhua City, a large amount of food and grass has already been prepared.

Moreover, under the forcible impetus of Zhu Youjian, Jin Yiwei had already hunted down in the city and made a fine work, strictly guarding against it.

Today's Zunhua city is undoubtedly strong and strong, with sufficient food and grass, which is enough for a battle.

Nurhaci apparently saw this too, and many times he wrote letters to surrender, but was categorically rejected.

Therefore, one day after Houjin Bingfeng arrived outside Zunhua City, under the order of Nurhaci, Houjin entered the Guan army and started the first real siege battle.

The outbreak of this war has undoubtedly attracted the attention of the court and the opposition.

The soldiers and horses of Qin Wang from other places are on their way. As long as Zunhua can keep this empty window period, it means that the court has enough troops and time.

At that time, whether it is to support Zunhua or strengthen the defense of Jizhou after Zunhua, it will be more than enough.

If Zunhua cannot be held, then Jin Bingfeng will go directly to Jizhou and threaten the capital!
