Chapter 1026 The first meeting
Seeing that Lin Danhan had been panic and his listless momentum was expanding, Nicklu gradually relaxed.
The Ming Dynasty has always had the most civil strife, and nothing is more important than their struggle for power and profit and intrigue.
Suddenly, Niklu looked up at Lin Danhan and said, "Khan, have anyone from the Ming Dynasty come here recently?"
Lin Danhan was happy and was stunned and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Nicklu smiled confidently and said, "The Ming people have always been disagreeable. If we fight with us, maybe someone will object. If we want to discuss peace with us, this kind of thing will happen again and twice."
Lin Danhan's face was ecstatic and said, "You mean, will the Ming people take the initiative to make peace?"
Nicklu was short of a feather fan in his hand, otherwise Zhuge Liang would be alive. He smiled and said, "Looking at the current situation, another group of people in the Ming Dynasty's court would inevitably have a sharp rise in morale. Before the withdrawal of troops, the peacemakers they sent would arrive. Khan, let's be patient and wait."
Lin Danhan trusted Nikruxiang, and did not think about it carefully. He stood up, turned to look at the south, suppressed his ecstasy, and said calmly: "Okay! As long as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty comes, he will have good food and drinks. Then, wait for Ben Khan to win a big victory, and then talk to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as Lin Danhan finished speaking, a guard rushed in and reported loudly: "Report to the Great Khan, spies have come to report that the Ming army of Tumu Fort has retreated to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is covered with artillery, and they are about to withdraw their troops."
Nikru immediately raised his eyelids and looked at Lin Danhan and said, "It seems that the internal strife of Mingren is even more intense than we expected. Without waiting until April 25, I believe that in a few days, the Jiannu cavalry on Shenyang's side will also retreat into Shenyang City. The Korqin coalition forces will be disbanded. Khan, the opportunity will be in these few days!"
Lin Danhan's chest was undulating, his eyes were full of hatred, and he said, "Okay, this time it's a lesson for Ming people. It won't take long to get my khan to break the Great Wall, restore Dayuan, and reappear Genghis Khan's great cause!"
Nicklu looked at Lin Danhan's wild expression, afraid that he would be impulsive, and hurriedly said, "Khan, the soldiers are too tense these days and have not had much rest. What we have to do now is to let the soldiers relax and have a good rest for a few days. When the Ming army's peace talks arrive, let's fool them first, take advantage of their unpreparedness and have another victory in Tumu Fort! No, we can surround their imperial city again!"
Lin Danhan was not a fool, so he suppressed his excitement and said, "I just listened to the national teacher. He ordered all thousands of households to get off their horses and take off their armor, rest for three days, and have enough wine and meat. Tell them that in ten days, we will have whatever we want!"
"Yes!" A guard turned around and went out to pass the order.
Not long after, the entire Guihua City suddenly became noisy, and strange shouts rang throughout the city, and at the same time they were transmitted to all directions, whistling like thunder.
When Chahar cheered and thundered, it seemed like a great victory, the Ming Dynasty was also in full swing.
Wucheng Pavilion, conference hall.
The basic framework of the Grand Marshal's Mansion has been organized and completed, and the rest is to fill and improve it step by step.
Marshal Sun Chengzong sat on the top, with three major generals of the Ming Dynasty on both sides, Cao Wenzhao, Qin Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of War Shen Yongmao, British Duke Zhang Weixian, and several leaders from the Intelligence Department, Battle Department, and Staff Office, totaling more than a dozen people.
The people in the Nine Departments and Second Bureaus were basically newcomers. In the past, they were all captains and generals from all over the country. They then "study" in the Military Academy and made many military achievements in various places. They were both civil and military, and were attracted by Sun Chengzong and the Ministry of War and promoted them.
Sun Chengzong's eyes swept over a group of people, and his heart was a little excited. In the past, the Ming army was not only controlled by the Ministry of War, but also by the cabinet, the six ministries and the entire court. They were all in all aspects, and they were all in conflicts and secrets, making the army messy and the combat power declined sharply. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's more than two hundred years of war, especially the wars in recent decades, were mostly related to the party struggles of the court.
With this Grand Marshal's Mansion and the strong support of the Ganqing Palace, the influence of the government and the opposition on the army will be greatly reduced!
Sun Chengzong took a deep breath and looked at everyone, saying, "The Grand Marshal's Mansion was first established. There are so many things, but there is one important task that cannot be delayed at all, that is, Chahar. Recently, Chahar has acted unjustly, and our 'new policy' is at a critical moment. Therefore, Chahar is a fish bone stuck in the throat in our Ming Dynasty, and must be pulled out as soon as possible!"
The extermination of Chahar was now a consensus among the whole Ming Dynasty. Everyone listened to it, but they had no objection. They looked at Sun Chengzong and waited for his arrangements.
Sun Chengzong looked around and said directly, "Information Department."
The head of the Intelligence Department is He Xilian, from Liaodong. He is a Confucian general. He was wearing a new military uniform, simple and capable. He stood up, spread out his letters and said to Sun Chengzong: "Marty, sir, the Intelligence Department has taken over all the intelligence agencies and personnel of the Jinyiwei in Liaodong. Judging from the intelligence gathered everywhere, Chahar's troops are about 30,000, and are currently concentrated in Guihua City. There are 40,000 war horses and a population of about 50,000 households. Thirty thousand cavalry were distributed to nine thousand households. In the past month, people have not been lifted out of their armor or horses. From Shanhaiguan to Gansu Town, the westernmost section of the Great Wall, all the big baskets have been taken off to monitor every move in the north. If there is news, they can be passed through the flags of the big basket, and they can basically spread to both sides of the east and west in half an hour..."
Everyone nodded silently when they heard this. The big basket and the telescope were indeed an extraordinary weapon.
Of course, this is also useful on the Great Wall, and other places are basically better than nothing.
After listening to the report from the Intelligence Department, Sun Chengzong looked at the Staff Office again.
The chief officer of the Staff Office was born in Jiangnan and was from Hangzhou. He was named Qian Jinxiao. He made contributions to the Hangzhou Mutiny. He also transferred south to north over the years. He stayed in the Military Academy for two years, which was highly valued by Sun Chengzong.
Qian Jinxiao stood up and said, "Marty, sirs, based on the deduction of the staff office, he made a feasible combat plan. Dorgon's cavalry was the main force to raid Guihua City overnight. If it was the best to succeed in one battle, if it could not win in one battle, it would be surrounded by three missing one. The Chijin Guards were on the side of the periphery, waiting for the iron-armed cavalry and cannons to arrive. At the same time, the Taining Guards and the Korchin coalition forces advanced eastward to block the way to escape in Chahar West..."
There is no map or sand table here, and it is the first time that the Advisory Office has made such a report. Even though Qian Jinxiao was calm, he still felt it was dry.
Sun Chengzong nodded as he heard this and turned his eyes to the combat site.
The head of the combat office was Yao Zhengtao. He was originally a professor in the Military Academy. He had not experienced any battles before. However, his tactical deduction, military arrangements, and arrangements have repeatedly amazed Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Cao Wenzhao, and even Qin Liangyu. His place was originally arranged to be the Staff Office, but in the end he was transferred to the Battle Office.
The Operations Department is the place where the generals responsible for leading the front line troops and implementing the plan of the General Staff Office. It is indeed a bit strange that Yao Zhengtao, a person who has never had the experience in leading troops and has been placed here.
Yao Zhengtao stood up and said, "Marty, sirs, I have no experience in large-scale cavalry operations. I only have recorded in some historical books. Entering the desert requires traceability to the Han Dynasty. There are no other arrangements in the combat. Moreover, those who participated in the battle this time were Zu Dashou, the general of Taining Guard in the West, Mangui of the Chijin Guard in the Tumu Fort, Zhao Rujiao of the Iron Armor Army, Xiong Tingbi and Dorgon in the East, were all people who could conquer and fight well. The subordinates thought that they should let go boldly and not be too restrained, so as to avoid conflicts between the people who led the troops and the actual military situation, which would lead to failure."
Most of the people here are soldiers who are leading the army and do not feel harsh about his words. Sun Chengzong signaled him to sit down and looked at both sides and said, "Everyone, do you have any opinions?"
Cao Wenzhao's quick counter-revolutionary camp had just been formed and had not been trained for long, so he naturally could not participate in the war. He sat upright and did not speak.
Lu Xiangsheng is a person who wants to go to the south and is also not suitable for talking.
Qin Liangyu guarded the important towns on Gansu, Shaanxi and Ning, and had some relationship with Mo Nan. She turned to look at Sun Chengzong and said, "Marcenary, the general of the Mo thought that the emperor was very skillful in the enemy's skills, and blitzkrieg was also very outstanding, suitable for desert combat. The general of the last had another suggestion, that is, the army was directly traversing the mountains and seas, and Chahar had not been prepared, and the general was tired for a long time. Once my king's army attacked, he would definitely flee in a hurry. There was a big basket and set up a net of heaven and earth. The army then chased after it until they were exhausted and gathered to annihilate it!"
Sun Chengzong looked at Qin Liangyu, his expression moved, and nodded secretly.
This female general was not a futile name. Her tactic was indeed very important. If so, the Ming Dynasty basically did not spend a single soldier, and perhaps it would be faster than the first plan.
Sun Chengzong looked at the others again, and basically no one who attended the meeting said anything.
This is the first meeting of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, and everyone is not used to it.
Seeing this, Sun Chengzong said, "No need to delay, the Advisory Office will formulate a combat plan again, and need to backup multiple sets to consider all possible existing possibilities. I will set off for Tumu Fort today. Other matters will be decided when I come back!"
"Yes!" A group of people stood up immediately and said loudly according to the newly established rules.
Chapter completed!
