There are many foreign forts in Shanhaiguan, and the only one nail in Qiantun Guard was probably the last resort. After all, the troops were insufficient, otherwise, a military force could be stationed in Zhongqiansu. It would be nice to add more congestion to the Tartars.

However, before that, the troops gathered in the capital, only two general-level personnel were left in Shanhaiguan to guard the army. Later, Zhu Bingkun led his headquarters to build the Liaodong War Zone, and there were only 12,000 more people.

With 6,000 troops stationed in Qiantun Guard, one-third of the troops were already stationed.

There are not many troops, so you should not divide the troops too much.

When a new recruit was sent to Shanhaiguan, the Tartars' vanguard had already arrived in Ningyuan.

Of course, there is another reason for self-confidence. There is no need to garrison troops everywhere and cause trouble. There is no need to do so. Just one Qiantun Guard must be nailed tightly, and the others are temporarily dispensable.

Zhu Bingkun's proposal to train troops in actual combat has been approved by many generals and officials. Ying Yi also agreed with this.

After the Ming Dynasty, Ying Yi expanded his army vigorously and the number of people increased, but the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers who came from Henan was not guaranteed in this regard.

The combat effectiveness of the army is not only the excellent military preparation. Those who have experienced the test of blood and fire and fight from the war are ultimately elite soldiers.

And there is another issue of morale.

The recruits did not experience war and were suspicious of their own combat effectiveness. Most of them were confused about the upcoming war.

To correct this mentality, they must let them know how strong they are.

Since the Tartars sent vassals to occupy the Four Village Forts, it is necessary to train troops. The confidence of the army is achieved by fighting. Only victory can bring about the military spirit.

Of course, the total number of new recruits under a lieutenant, plus the two general-level troops under Bai Guangen and Ma Ke who were reorganized from the Ming court, reached 18,000, which exceeded half of the troops of Shanhaiguan and Qiantun Guard.

Of course it is impossible to pull it out to practice all of it.

One and a half lieutenant and six generals are organized, with three thousand generals as a unit, and they are rotated every day. Just choose the four villages and forts and attack them.

"Change troops and train troops so that the generals of all departments will not fight in a vain, so as not to avoid the Tatars' way. The investigation should be carried out in time, and any movements and movements of the Tatars must be grasped."

Ying Yi said: "Dorgon led hundreds of thousands of troops to compete with me for national destiny and was rushing in Sanshan Camp. It was not that he shrank, but that he was waiting for an opportunity."

He said, "This man's mind is obvious at a glance, just a plot. He is nothing more than waiting for the Tatars to enter the pass from the north, shake the situation, and give Shanhaiguan a knife behind his back, so that Shanhaiguan will be defeated without fighting. But he wants to teach him to be disappointed. If he can wait, I will wait for him. It depends on his mere foundation and how long can the food and grass last."

He also said: "The entire army has not yet been fully in office. The more patient Dorgon is, the better the outcome of this king will be."

How could Ying Yi forget the Tatars of Korqin and Tumot? Whether it was Zheng Jiu's Northwest War Zone or Qian Yue's Miyun Defense Line, the Tatars were waiting for them.

For this reason, even the cleaning work in Shanxi and Shaanxi was temporarily terminated.

"Dorgon is waiting for news from the Tatars, and I am also waiting for news from Zheng Jiu and Qian Yue. Haha, it depends on who's news coming soon, and it's better."

...

When Dorgon and Ying Yi fought at Shanhaiguan and the two sides fought on a small scale, Zheng Jiusou's troops on the northwest war zone on the front line of Xuanda took the lead in attacking.

Zheng Jiu took over Datong, executed Jiang Guan, and after reorganizing the surrendered troops, he focused on the cleaning of the northern part of Shanxi and Shaanxi. However, the abnormal movements of the Tatars caused this work to stagnate.

Now that the Northwest War Zone has not yet been fully organized, there are two lieutenant-level ranks. One is the lieutenant to which Zheng Jiu originally belongs, and the other is the lieutenant.

After the purge of Shanxi and Shaanxi, two lieutenants were stationed in Datong and Xuanfu. After a period of preparation, after news of abnormal movements came from Tumote's side, Zheng Jiu took the lead and started attacking.

Xuanfu Town, the governor was in the camp. Zheng Jiu summoned the generals and officers of various ministries and decided to send troops.

"The significance of the Northwest War Zone is currently in the Tatar tribes."

Zheng Jiudao: "Since the rise of the Eastern Barbarians and the defeat of the Tatar Lindan Khan, the left-wing tribes of the Chahar tribe directly under the Lindan Khan tribe and Xitumot surrendered to the Eastern Barbarians."

The war between the Eastern Barbarians against the Tatars began since Nurhaci's wild boar skin. When Lin Dankhan succeeded to the throne, he established his capital in Chahanhot, and his main force was in the eastern part of the southern part of the desert. The tribes in the southern part of the Tatars nominally surrendered to him and respected him as a khan.

Lin Danhan wanted to unify the Tatar tribes and restore Temujin's glory, so he joined forces with Ming to resist Jin and fought against Nurhaci. Later, he was defeated and driven out of Chahanhot by Nurhaci and Korchin tribe. Lin Danhan withdrew to Guihua City, subdued Tumote tribe and continued to confront the Later Jin Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Lin Dankhan was defeated and fled to Qinghai. The Chahar tribe and Xitumot, directly under the Lin Dankhan tribe, turned to the Later Jin Dynasty, and became their vassals in name.

To this day, the core of Xitumot and Chahar tribes are one of Guihua City and the other is Chahanhot. Guihua City is located on the border of Datong.

"The Eastern Barbarians came to attack, and Tumot and the Tatar tribes of Chahar are their vassals. We must observe. The emperor ordered our Northwest War Zone to deal with the Tatar tribes. I would like to take the initiative and defeat their tribes."

"I am the governor, and the new captains came out of Datong to attack Tumote. The governor personally led the captain's headquarters to attack Chahanhaote, the southern part of the desert. This army is very fast, so it is better to be fast and fast. The soldiers of each unit only carry half a month of dry food and eat the enemy. The more they can achieve the results they can achieve."

"Tang Sanjin, you can return to Datong quickly and send troops at night, so don't neglect."

The captain Tang San entered and left the lien and beat his chest: "Abide by the governor's order!"

Turn around and leave.

Tang Sanjin was a newly promoted lieutenant this time, and the establishment was completed half a month ago and was under the command of Zheng Jiu, the acting governor of the Northwest War Zone.

Its name is ordinary, but it is because the family is poor. My father hopes to have a house with three in and three out of the house one day, and he named it after it.

Although he was from a poor and humble background, he dared to fight and had great military achievements. He joined the army from Henan and cut down countless heads along the way. The military culture training was excellent. So he was promoted one after another, and he was promoted less than a year after joining the army, and he was already a general of the lieutenant.

Heroes are out of the wild, and there is nothing else.

Then Zheng Jiu said to a scholar beside him: "The slave labor camp has a high responsibility. The allocation of military supplies and the transfer of captured supplies are all in one. Mr. Song should not neglect it."

Mr. Song is also an acquaintance. It turned out to be Song Xiance, who was under Li Chuang's command.

This person was captured on the battlefield of Kaifeng and threw him into the slave labor camp. With the advantage of being able to read and write, he made his mark again. He was gradually promoted by Lian Biao from the Auxiliary Soldiers Department, and now he is on the Humanitarian List.

Song Xiance was unwilling to accept Li Chuang's defeat at first. He also repeatedly complained in the slave labor camp. However, this person is not a person who is content with the status quo. No matter how much he complains, he can be considered hard work.
