Zhu Linmiao's expression remained unchanged when she heard this, and she only said, "Go on." ”

Arjuna fell to the ground and spoke very quickly, "The tribes of the East China Sea were defeated by Nurhachi, and my grandfather, as a protector, died in front of the battle. At that time, my father asked the imperial court for help, but the reinforcements did not arrive, and my father was trapped for several months, and the clansmen suffered many casualties, so he had to surrender to Jianzhou.

"The twelve tribes of the East China Sea secretly discussed, wanting to raise the clan to flee to the north, but unexpectedly the matter was revealed, and was intercepted by the Huang Taiji army, nearly half of the clan was taken into slavery, and the rest were hostages.

"For more than ten years, my father led the army to fight for them under the pressure of the Ministry of Jianzhou, and the people's daughter was also summoned by Huang Taiji to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a mission.

"Later, the Minnu had a secret discussion with Haoge, and he promised me that as long as I could save him from his predicament, I would no longer be embarrassed by the Twelve Divisions of the East China Sea. Later, the people mobilized all forces, and when Dolgon went to Xingjing, she entered the palace to rescue Hauge. ”

She paused again, "The people are deeply sinful, and I don't ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, but the Twelve Divisions of the East China Sea have always been committed to the imperial court. ”

"Warning? In detail? ”

"Yes." Arjuna said, "Haoge is coming with 5,000 Beijing camps, and he will be able to reach Songshan the day after tomorrow at the latest. There are nearly 10,000 Jianzhou soldiers on the Songshan line alone. They relied on the mountain fortresses to hold on, just to hold back the imperial army.

"By the way, does Your Majesty know that this kind of fortress built by Hauge is extremely strong, with two layers inside and outside, and many guns in the inside, and there will be heavy casualties in the attack."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it out, "This is the structure of the fortress that I bought with a lot of money, and Your Majesty will know it at a glance." ”

"Get up and speak." Zhu Linmiao asked people to put away the pattern, smiled and shook his head, "This fortress was built by me first, Haoge just stole the teacher, and the heat is still far away." To tell you the truth, in a few months at most, I will be able to defeat the Songshan captive. ”

At this time, he was not completely sure that Arjuna had no problem, so he deliberately exaggerated the combat strength of the Ming army to deter the enemy army. In fact, he discussed with Zhang Jiayu and others, and it would take at least two months to take Songshan.

Arjuna hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, what Hauke is using is a delaying trick. After Songshan, he also repaired the fortresses in Dalinghe, Jinzhou, and Yizhou, and strictly ordered him to only defend to the death, and not to go out of the city to engage the imperial army. If this continues, even if His Majesty uses soldiers like gods and soldiers serve their lives, it will be difficult to attack Shengjing for more than half a year...... No, it's Shen Yangwei.

"Even if the troops come to Shengjing, Haoge will continue to retreat to Xingjing, and then retreat to Ningguta...... He had ordered all men over the age of sixteen to be recruited from the Han Banner, and had made Han and Korean slaves serve as soldiers to restore their freedom. Another 4,000 Korqin cavalry were also coming.

"It is because the imperial army will be struggling in Liaodong, but Haoge's men and horses are increasing. The imperial court transported grain and grass from afar, and the cost must have been very great, and if it dragged on like this, it would inevitably not be poor in food and wages, or there was negligence, and the grain and grass would be attacked by Haoge. Such an unfavorable situation is to be caught in a quagmire. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded slightly, it turned out that Jianyu relied on the remoteness of Liaodong and the freezing weather, and fortified everywhere along the way, in order to drag down the Ming Dynasty. That's the only way they can do it right now.

But Hauge's strategy was doomed to fail. Mo said that with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and the super-large caliber artillery that was about to be built, the entire Liaodong could be bulldozed in half a year at most. Even if it really becomes a protracted war and falls into a situation of attrition, with the terrifying financial resources brought to the Ming Dynasty by the supply lines of the wooden track deep into Liaodong and overseas trade, it is not a piece of cake to drain the captives.

Of course, Zhu Linmiao's eyes have never been limited to Liaodong, the vast Siberia is still borderless, and it is waiting for the Ming Dynasty to go to pick up, so the war in Liaodong should not drag on for too long.

Arjuna said again: "Your Majesty, the people have the courage to admonish, and now the imperial court should be based on Ningyuan to operate, expand the military town, and collect grain and grass. The East China Sea Department acted as an internal response, saying that the various departments of Liaodong would be surrendered, and the Han and Korean people who had been taken captive were scattered. She said and took out another piece of paper, "This is the deployment map of the strength and grain and grass of the Liaodong Jianzhou Army." After the soldiers of the imperial court have enough food, and then a thunderous blow is struck, then Liaodong will be ......"

Zhu Lin said in her heart, if she didn't have her own experience in later life, what this woman said was indeed the most prudent strategy, but it was of little use at the moment.

He took the deployment map and was about to let Arjuna go back, but suddenly remembered something and asked her: "By the way, you just said that Haoge transferred all the troops in Liaodong to the Songjin area?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, not only soldiers, but almost all men."

Jinzhou is the only way to go north to Shenyang, as long as it can be blocked here, it can block the Ming army from going north, and Haoge's deployment can be said to have no problems.

But for Zhu Linmiao, who is familiar with the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties and even World War I and World War II, the loopholes are very obvious!

He tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair and whispered to himself, "There are even Horqin Mongol soldiers, as well as Han and Korean slaves. In other words, the entire central and northern parts of Liaodong is an empty shell......"

He pondered for a moment and said to Arjuna: "The Twelve Divisions of the East China Sea are loyal to the imperial court, and I am very relieved. As for the previous things, they were all done as a last resort, and I forgive you for not doing any wrong.

"I will send two people back with you, and then we will agree on the contact information. In the future, I have my own instructions for the East China Sea Department. ”

Arjuna was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank her. Subsequently, Jinyi Weibei Town selected two capable people according to the order and went north with her the next day.

Zhu Linmi's side handed over the deployment of Arjuna's Jianyu to Beizhen for verification. As for the structure of the fortress, he went to Baitai Mountain the day before yesterday to see it, and it was indeed the same as the real thing.

A few days later, it was successively discovered that at least the movements of the central and southern Liaodong Jianyu were basically consistent with those on the deployment map.

At this point, Zhu Linmiao has been roughly sure that what Arjuna said should be true. However, if you want to be completely sure, you have to wait for the news from the internal line of the Northeast Liaoning and the East China Sea Twelve Divisions to send back the news.

He immediately convened a meeting of the General Staff Division, first told Haoge about gathering the strength of the whole state, fortifying at all levels, and preparing to drag down the Ming Dynasty, and then took out the deployment map sent by the East China Sea Department to display it.

"If Jianyu wants to hold us down on the front line of Songjin, we might as well plan it." Zhu Linmiao looked around at the generals in the tent, and slowly spit out six words, "Open up the second battlefield." ”

Thanks: One Yuan Taichu, bili8021, November smile for my generous tip! Under the thanksgiving, thank you!
