Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Qianqing Palace.

Chongzhen looked at the military report sent by the Ministry of War, the Qing army had broken through 27 cities in just a few days after entering the customs, the Ming army was defeated and retreated again and again, without a single good news, and the sense of powerlessness in the previous ten years of power came to his heart again.

Sometimes, he really feels a little powerless, although he works diligently every day and tries his best, but Chongzhen is really powerless, although he doesn't want to admit it.

"Yang Sichang, the squire of the military department, and Chen Xinjia have suggestions for peace.

Chongzhen suddenly picked up the two booklets, opened them, and suddenly had a feasible idea in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

"What did the prince say?"

But he wanted to think about it, but there was also an inexplicable sense of irritability, he was really tired, so tired, in the face of such a predicament, Chongzhen was exhausted!"

"Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rejected the proposal for peace, and His Royal Highness has already transferred 40,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to go out to meet the battle, His Royal Highness mentioned in the transcript that he has already made arrangements, please rest assured that His Majesty the Father."

Wang Chengen took out a booklet and handed it to Chongzhen.

"Well, anything the prince does will be sent to me, and during this time, the prince is in charge of the country, and it is very stable, and I also believe in him, whatever the prince says, do it, go and tell Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia and the two, I am not feeling well, and I don't see anyone.

"Yes. "

This is a soldier trained by the prince, it should be no problem.

Chongzhen took the booklet and looked at it casually, he suddenly found that he didn't have to make his own decisions on major matters, and he didn't have to deal with troubles and distress things by himself, which was really refreshing.

"What about

the prince?" he asked, realizing that he hadn't seen the prince for several days.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness sneaked around a few days ago and went out of the city with soldiers.

Wang Chengen said cautiously.

"Ridiculous!" Chongzhen

heard this, immediately slapped the table and shouted angrily: "How fierce the Jiannu army is, how can he risk his life, as the prince of a country, what if there is any danger, it is too reckless, immediately issue an edict and pass on the prince to come back!" "

Your Majesty, this is the good news sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, saying that he completely annihilated the enemy army in the Agricultural Affairs Division with 2,000 elite cavalry. Wang

Chengen deliberately put this good news at the end and said that it was to block the anger of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after he personally led his troops out of the city and was known to His Majesty.

"Really?"

Chongzhen's face immediately turned from anger to joy, this is the third time since he ascended the throne, the first time was to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, the second time was to capture Gao Yingxiang and enter Beijing, and the third time was this time, the prince field annihilated the elite of Jiannu.

The rest of the time, he spent all his time in failure, miserable!"

"The prince is really a prodigy, far better than me, let him go." So

saying, he turned and walked into the inner sanctum.

Two days later.

Gao Yi had already led a large army to the outside of Tongzhou City, Yang Guozhu heard the news and naturally came down to open the city gate to greet him, and when he learned that there were 40,000 troops, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and in the face of the main force of Jiannu, he finally didn't need him to go out to top.

In the northwest, it's okay to fight the peasant army, but it's okay to fight a field war with Jiannu, forget it.

Gao Yi faced Yang Guozhu's warm greetings, he always had a cold face, did not talk, but directly brought 5,000 cavalry into the city for martial law, and then walked directly into the Tongzhou Yamen

, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered!"

Gao Yi didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the golden book.

"Minister Yang Guozhu took the order. "

The ministers took the order. Yang

Guozhu and a group of officials in Tongzhou knelt on the ground to receive the order.

"Yang Guozhu falsely reported the number of soldiers and ate empty salaries, disobeyed the military orders of the military department, disobeyed the military orders of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Jiliao, seriously delayed the military aircraft, and made a decision!" Gao

Yi finished reading, he pointed at

Yang Guozhu and shouted: "Take it!" "Wronged!"

As soon as Yang Guozhu heard this, his face immediately changed greatly, and he shouted in panic: "There are more than 10,000 people in the main force of the Qing army, and there are only 3,000 people in our department......!"

before he could finish his sentence, he was dragged down.

"Chen Peng!" Gao

Yi shouted again.

"The last general!" "Immediately go and receive all the defenders in Tongzhou City, under your command, and when you are ready, immediately gather outside the city

!" "The last general will take orders!" After

Gao Yi finished speaking, he walked out of the yamen directly, leaving behind a group of terrified local officials.

......

Langfang.

Gao Qiqian took this military order, and the seal on it was no longer the seal of the Ministry of War, nor the seal of the governor of Lu Xiangsheng, but the golden seal of His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace!

And the content was nothing more than the same, let him send troops to Daxing to encircle the main force of the Qing army with the three parties.

"Gao Gong. The

general next to Gao Qiqian took the military order and looked at it, and said with a little hesitation: "Do we really want to go out of the city to fight the main force of the Qing army?" "

This is the military order of His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the prince is in charge of the country, even if our family is deeply trusted by His Majesty, we dare not openly disobey the prince's order."

Gao Qiqian stood on the city gate, looked into the distance, and let out a soft sigh.

The general next to "that ......"

didn't understand.

"Let's do it when the opportunity comes.

Gao raised his eyes and swirled, and immediately had an idea in his heart, and said: "Let's go out of the city to Daxing, after we get to the place, don't make a move first, see how the other two are, if there is a chance of winning, we will attack, and if there is no chance of winning, we will retreat."

"Then when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks, how will we answer?" When

the general heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, but he quickly thought of this.

"That is to say, Lu Xiangsheng's troops and Yang Guozhu's troops attacked in advance, resulting in our army being unable to reach even if they were able to make peace, and they were intercepted by the Qing army halfway, and they fought a big battle and retreated to Langfang. Gao

Qi laughed, fighting with the Qing army in the field, or the main force, this is not looking for death, the Guanning defense line is mainly defensive, and it is okay to fight the peasant army, but in the field battle with the Qing army, the Ming army does not dare, and it cannot win.

Otherwise, how could the Qing army enter the customs and rob four or five times before and after, as if it were no one, because the Ming army in the territory would not dare to go out of the city to intercept the Qing army!"

"

......

Zhu Cihong was holding a map to check the terrain around Daxing, the Qing army was camped in front of Daxing City, fifty miles away, so it was impossible for Gaoyi's reinforcements to fight the Qing army head-on under the city, and the whole shape could not be opened.

Gao Yi's 30,000 army must open up the formation, arrange it layer by layer according to the tactics, and fight one by one, and cannot fight with the Qing army, otherwise that set of tactics will be practiced in vain.

Fortunately, Daxing was wide and flat all around, and Gao Yi's 30,000 troops could completely set up a formation on the side to engage the Qing army.

"I hope that Gao Yi can command smoothly and the whole army is like an arm.

Thinking about it, Zhu Cihong wrote down an order, so that Gao Yi did not have to enter Daxing City, but went around to the right side in front of the city gate and started a formation battle with the Qing army.

"Report!"

At this time, a soldier came in from outside, who was sent by Gao Yi.

"Inform Your Highness that Governor Gao's 40,000 troops have set out from Tongzhou to Daxing.

"Eight hundred flintlock muskets of the Shenji Battalion, two thousand tiger squat gunners, three thousand battalions of five thousand cavalry, five thousand army battalions of five shield soldiers, five thousand bow and crossbow battalions, two thousand heavy crossbowmen, twenty thousand soldiers, and ten thousand logistics troops!" the

soldier said loudly on one knee.

"Okay, you tell Gao Yi that after arriving in Daxing, watch the wolf smoke and act with signal flares!" Zhu

Cihong handed over the written order in his hand to the other party.

"Command

!" the soldier took the order with both hands, immediately stood up, and ran out as fast as he could.

"Report!"

Before the soldier could go out, he immediately came to scout again.

"Report to Your Highness, the Qing army has begun to attack the city!"

"What?"

Zhu Cihong's face changed, the Gaoyi army had not yet arrived, at this time, if Daxing was breached, I am afraid that it would immediately become purgatory.

"How many defenders are left in

the Qing army's camp?" he suddenly thought about it and immediately asked, at this time, there was only a surprise attack on the Qing army's rear camp, forcing the Qing army to obey the order to attack the city and return to support.

"Back to His Highness, the main force of the Qing army poured out, and there were only a few thousand logistics guards and auxiliaries.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Cihong suddenly decided on this bold idea in his heart, that is, to sneak attack the camp of the Qing army, the gold and silver, grain and grass they robbed were fixed in the camp, and it was impossible for the Qing army to throw them away!

"How are they guarding?"

With a plan in mind, he asked directly, Zhu Cihong walked to the table, picked up the heart armor and put it on, put on the helmet, and walked outside.

"Back to Your Highness, the Qing army camp is not strictly guarded, and there are no sentinels fifty miles away.

Seeing this, the scout immediately followed.

"Herald!" Zhu

Cihong shouted!

"Herald is here!"

Immediately a big man in black armor walked out of the outside.

"Pass the order, the whole army will go out and attack the Qing army camp!" Zhu

Cihong walked out of the yamen, got on his horse directly, and galloped towards the barracks.
