You are not afraid of shocking the master with great achievements

Chapter 177

The addition of more than 20,000 troops did not help much to increase the strength of Jiannu. Back then, Huang Taiji led an army of 100,000, which was more than twice as strong as it is now.

But he is no match for Cheng Shijie. What's more, Cheng Shijie is now stronger. Not only has he received reinforcements from more than 7,000 cavalry from Guan Ning's army, but also more than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry who have taken refuge with him. At least Cheng Shijie can now win

There were as many as 30,000 to 40,000 cavalrymen coming out.

Huang Taiji was not worried about Ning Haijun's cavalry. He was more worried about Cheng Shijie's infantry. Their muskets like exploding beans and the artillery that could kill dozens of people with one shot were what Huang Taiji was most worried about.

.

Huang Taiji dares to fight because he is a trapped beast now and only fights back instinctively. If he doesn't fight, how can he surrender? Even if he surrenders, others may still have a chance to survive. At least he and his son Hauge will only be able to survive.

It's a dead end, or you'll be punished late.

In this situation with no choice, he could only fight with his last resort.

More importantly, it is not that Huang Taiji has no chance of winning, but because although Cheng Shijie has more troops, not any one person is capable of commanding 60,000 or 70,000 troops. What's more, the Guan Ning army commanded by Cheng Shijie has more troops.

, the Mongols are just helpless people, they are the key to Huang Taiji’s victory.

More importantly, Huang Taiji can now obtain supplies from Baiyin Tu. With the food and grass, the soldiers have physical strength. Even if they cannot defeat the Ning Navy, they still have the ability to deal with the Guan Ning Army and the Mongols.

Cheng Shijie's eyelids suddenly jumped up, and he asked in confusion: "Yongyan, do you mean wealth jumps from the left eye, or from the right eye?"

Sun Zhiman smiled and said: "I didn't expect Cheng Shuai to believe this!"

"The end of science is metaphysics, you have to believe it!"

Sun Zhiwan was already used to Cheng Shijie's way of speaking. He knew every word Cheng Shijie said, but when these words were put together, he didn't know what they meant.

He often heard Cheng Shijie say: "It's unscientific!"

What does this science mean? He becomes more and more confused.

Sun Tzu smiled bitterly and said: "Cheng Shuai, as the saying goes, a twitching left eye indicates bad luck to friends, and a twitching right eye indicates good luck to friends. Is Cheng Shuai's left eyelid twitching, or his right eyelid?"

"My handsome eyelids are twitching at the same time!"

Cheng Shijie looked in the direction behind him, a little puzzled: "Normally, Jiannu is just a sick cat now. I will treat them like a toy with them. The only possibility is..."

"Just what?"

"Fire in the backyard!"

Cheng Shijie knew that in the Battle of Daling River, 40,000 Ming troops under Zhang Chun were annihilated. In fact, in that situation, Ming Dynasty did not admit defeat directly, but thought of mobilizing Sun Yuanhua's Denglai New Army and Dongjiang Army to support Daling River City.

, but it is a pity that the people of Shandong went on strike and reduced Shandong to ashes. Sun Yuanhua had troops but was unable to go out.

In the end, Kong Youde rebelled, and the Battle of Daling River ended as Jiannu expected.

If nothing else, there must have been an accident.

At midnight that night, Cheng Shijie was woken up by Meng En.

"Commander, the slave reinforcements have arrived!"

"How many troops are coming? Are there thirty or forty thousand people?"

"No, there are more than 20,000 people. They should all be good soldiers. They broke through the guard circle of the Chasseurs quietly. Five sentries, six to seven hundred people, died silently~!"

"There are only more than 20,000 people, it's okay!"

Cheng Shijie seemed to be awake in his sleep, and said with a disapproving smile: "Come on, come on, it's just more corpses to fertilize the land!"

In Cheng Shijie's view, as long as Jiannu did not find a way to crack Ning Haijun's artillery, the impact of Jiannu's troops would not be too great if there were more or less men.

Since Jiannu dared to come to die, Cheng Shijie dared to bury them.

Burying the slaves was naturally a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. At least without the excuse of establishing slaves, the Liao Dynasty no longer needed to collect wages, and the people had a way to survive.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie's mind suddenly lit up.

Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. Liao's salary not only enriched Guan Ning's army, but in fact, Liao's salary enriched not only Guan Ning's army, but almost all officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, especially civil servants.

Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty began to collect Liao rates from the Wanli period, in fact, the largest collection was actually during the Chongzhen period. In order to cope with the war in Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen raised the original Liao rate of nine cents per mu during the Tianqi period to one cent and two cents.

This operation was also very good, collecting 6.67 million taels of silver in an instant. Coupled with the messy guarantee clauses, after one round of operation, I got 27.4 million taels of silver.

This does not mean that the officials of the Ming Dynasty collected 7.4 million taels of silver in taxes from the people, but it refers to the total amount of taxes paid to the court.

At this point, what those Ming worms want is not to put down the war and let everyone continue to enjoy peace, but that everyone is vying to enrich their own pockets.

The total of Liao's, Suppression's and Training's wages was more than double the official salary expressly stipulated by the Ming Dynasty. The people of the entire Ming Dynasty lived in the sorrow of "paying the emperor food", and the farmers of the Ming Dynasty could not complete their tasks even when they went bankrupt.

the point.

Many farmers had to sell their land to cope with the temporary "three rings", and slowly became tenants, slaves, refugees, hungry people, and finally became mobs until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Liaonan has received a lot of refugees, nearly 400,000 of them, Cheng Shijie often comes into contact with these refugees and knows very well that these refugees have been driven bankrupt by heavy taxes and have to become refugees.

But this Liao salary package was the entire civil servant group of the Ming Dynasty, covering all aspects from the imperial court to local governments.

Therefore, Jiannu put everything aside this time and prepared to stud.

And Cheng Shijie already has the strength to defeat Jiannu, so in this case, there will definitely be people holding him back, and maybe they have already arrived.

Cheng Shijie's face turned ugly: "Our crisis is coming!"

Meng Endao: "What the commander-in-chief means is that Jiannu is preparing for a sneak attack?"

"Their sneak attack is nothing. Although there are still 40,000 slaves now, they have lost a lot of weight. If we don't attack them, they will burn incense. Even if the Mongols provoke them so unscrupulously, they will tolerate it."

How can we launch a night attack if we are down?"

Cheng Shijie looked in the direction of the capital and said: "Our crisis comes from the capital!"

"Capital?"

"Yes, for the sake of their money bags, they will not allow the Ming Dynasty to eliminate the Jiannu slaves!"

Sun Chengzong's fortress strategy, organizing and training the army, using fortress methods to slowly encroach on the strategic space of Jiannu, and coupled with the material blockade, Jiannu was forced to buy eight taels of silver per dou of grain from Shanxi merchants.

In this case, countless people starved to death. However, just when Sun Chengzong's strategy in Liaodong began to achieve results, he was held accountable for the Liuhe defeat and impeached.

The defeat of Liuhe was actually a small-scale battle. Lu Zhijia under Ma Shilong was only a guerrilla general, and Li Chengxian was also a guerrilla general. According to the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty, a general can only command three to four thousand troops, and some only have more than a thousand.

People are guerrilla generals, and the best can command a thousand people.

In fact, Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian led 800 people to forcefully cross the Sancha River in seven fishing boats, which leaked their traces and led to the defeat of the Liuhe Battle. More than 400 people were killed and injured. Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian both died in the battle.

Chinese Army Qian Yingke fell into the water and died. The Eight Banners Army captured 600 war horses.

At that time, public opinion in the court was exaggerated, claiming that the 100,000-strong Liao army had been wiped out. Afterwards, the officials handed over the impeachment report, Ma Shilong was impeached and resigned, and Sun Chengzong and Yu Anxing were dismissed at the same time. Gao Di was appointed as the manager, and Yuan Chonghuan took over.

Not to mention a small-scale defeat of just a few hundred people, even if this number were expanded ten times, seven or eight thousand people were lost. Just like the Ningyuan victory, seven or eight thousand people on Juehua Island were killed by Jiannuo. Not only was Yuan Chonghuan not at fault,

Instead, he achieved great success.

Sun Chengzong's fault was that his existence had seriously threatened Jiannu.

Now Cheng Shijie only needs one blow to beat Jiannu half to death or paralyze him. But the court will never agree to Cheng Shijie continuing to fight. They will do everything they can to stop this war and give Jiannu a breath of relief.

This incident reminded Cheng Shijie of Great Britain's World War I. Germany in World War I was a defeated country just like World War II. According to France, they wanted to dismember Germany, but Great Britain disagreed and wanted to use Germany to contain France. So,

Germany was resurrected in just a dozen years.

It can be said that the UK has contributed a lot to this.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie no longer felt sleepy.

As daybreak approached, the sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the morning.

Sun Chengzong also didn't sleep well. He came to Cheng Shijie's RV early. Seeing that Cheng Shijie didn't look like he had just woken up, but rather like he hadn't slept, he said with some surprise: "Beiping, you haven't slept all night?"

Cheng Shijie nodded: "The sound of horse hooves is coming from the south, it must not be Jiannu!"

"Someone is coming from the capital!"

Sun Chengzong revealed the secret letter in his hand.

Cheng Shijie asked curiously: "Who is coming?"

"Fu Zonglong!"

"If he doesn't stay in Tianjin, what is he doing here?"

"Didn't you guess it?"

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and said: "The whole court has been quarreling over this battle, and you have been implicated by me!"

"Teacher, this matter is none of your business!"

Just as he was talking, Fu Zonglong, Gao Qiqian, came with more than a hundred officials and three to four hundred cavalry in the cold wind. Especially Fu Zonglong, his nose was dripping with snot, and his eyebrows, beard, and hair were all white.

.

Their lips and faces were covered with bloody cuts. It was obvious that they had arrived here at high speed and without stopping.

Gao Qiqian was even more embarrassed than Fu Zonglong. After seeing Cheng Shijie, he cupped his hands towards Cheng Shijie, sat down on the edge of the stove, and stretched out his hands to warm himself up.
