The so-called current situation and major events sometimes cannot be discussed based on common sense!
Without a beginning or experience, no one knows what tomorrow will bring!
Although Liu Ruyi is a time traveler, he is not absolutely sure that he will win the Battle of Songjin!
Variables will always exist, and dark horses will definitely appear!
However, Liu Ruyi did not know whether the key dark horse that could determine the outcome of this war was in the Ming Dynasty or the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
The Battle of Songjin can almost be regarded as the most critical war in East Asia in the seventeenth century!
It can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had almost all the national destiny staked on it, while the Ming Dynasty also used almost all available troops!
This war is far from the wars Liu Ruyi has experienced before!
This will be a very large-scale group battle!
Both the Ming and Qing Dynasties will use their strongest troops to decide the ownership of this land with their strength~~~~!
However, Huang Taiji was well prepared and sharpening his sword!
As for Emperor Chongzhen, he obviously did not realize how cruel this war would be!
He didn't spend all his capital! So that the whole situation was passive for Daming!
In the Battle of Songjin, generals fell, and the Liaodong defense line that the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty had worked hard for decades was completely destroyed!
This is not just a tragedy for the Ming Dynasty!
This is not just the tragedy of Emperor Chongzhen!
This is actually the biggest tragedy in Chinese history since the Five Husbands!
But in the era of Wuhu chaos, the entire world is in a period of rapid exploration. The Chinese nation can use its powerful integration ability to prosper again!
But at this time, it was already close to the middle of the seventeenth century. The rise of the Age of Discovery and the spark of the Renaissance were about to lead to the arrival of the first industrial revolution!
The next three hundred years will be an unprecedented and pioneering era for the world in hundreds of millions of years!
One step behind, every step behind!
If you want to catch up again, Liu Ruyi, who comes from a later generation, naturally knows how difficult it is!
Even without a decisive war that can change history, the so-called world structure cannot be shaken at all!
In this world, the one with the big fist has the final say!
Thinking of the images of later generations with money pigtails tied behind their heads, Liu Ruyi felt indescribable pain in her heart!
The Manchu Qing brought not only physical harm to the Chinese nation, but most importantly, the Manchu Qing's 'slavery system' bent the backbone of China for five thousand years!
Now, since God has given Liu Ruyi a chance to change, even if he gives up everything, Liu Ruyi will never let history repeat itself!
And Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, plus Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen from Liaodong, these people are already the last elite and the last backbone of the Ming Dynasty!
Coupled with the Zu Dashou clan and Wu Sangui clan in Liaodong, this is the only military force in the entire East Asia that can compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
As for Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu and others, they may all be experts, but when it comes to putting them on the table, they are really not worth mentioning!
The situation has become clear!
Since Liu Ruyi cannot fight against the Manchus with his own strength, making his teammates stronger and more capable is the best choice!
At this time, seeing Liu Ruyi's sincere expression, not only Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and Wang Pu also stood up and looked at Liu Ruyi in a daze, speechless for a long time!
Tears were already shining in Yang Guozhu's eyes!
Only soldiers can understand the heart of a soldier!
In the Battle of Songjin, Yang Guozhu was actually prepared for the worst!
He is the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town. Due to his geographical location, he has fought against the Qing army countless times over the years, but never once has he been able to confront the Qing army head-on!
This time, in the Jinzhou situation, Hu Dawei and Wang Pu may still be holding on to a bit of luck, but Yang Guozhu understands that this battle will most likely be a disaster!
‘Come back alive!’ This is a simple sentence, but who can understand the weight of it!
"Brother Liu..."
Yang Guozhu wiped away the tears in his eyes, and held Liu Ruyi's hand firmly, "I don't need to say anything more! Life is full of grass and trees! In this life, I can meet a person like you, Brother Liu."
, even if my brother dies in battle, he can rest in peace!"
Hu Dawei also nodded with deep understanding, "Yang Shuai is right! It's worth it to me to be able to be friends with Brother Liu in this life!"
Wang Pu was also moved by the current emotions of Liu Ruyi and others. He was born as a merchant. Although he became a general, he was naturally timid! However, due to the geographical location of Datong, he simply avoided the duel with the Manchus.
There is no way around it!
Originally, he just watched and accepted the situation, followed the crowd, and dealt with the emperor's orders!
After all, in Wang Pu's subconscious mind, Liaodong has been fighting for so many years, so what if the Manchu and Qing Dynasties haven't seen it yet! This time, I'm afraid it will be no exception!
But at this time, seeing Liu Ruyi, Yang Guozhu, and Hu Dawei speaking so solemnly, he suddenly realized that this trip to Jinzhou would be much more difficult than he imagined!
"Brother Liu, although I, Wang Pu, am a profiteer! I have done a lot of immoral things! But my eyes are not blind! Brother Liu, what you said makes great sense. I may not be able to understand it for a while! But
Brother, I want you to know that in our Datong Army, you, Brother Liu, are the only ones who follow your lead! Even if you die in battle, being able to be with you, Brother Liu, makes my life, Wang Pu’s, worthwhile!"
"Brothers, you, you..."
Liu Ruyi did not expect that Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, and Wang Pu would express their attitudes like this!
Suddenly, a surge of blood rushed directly to Liu Ruyi's forehead!
Compare your heart to your heart!
Which of these generals, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, and Wang Pu, has not been wronged by the Manchus over the years?
Looking at the group of Manchus with money braids on their heads, showing off their power in front of him, these generals are all capable men, who can really swallow this bad breath?
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Liu Ruyi said three "good" words in succession, "We are all brothers! You are all Ruyi's brothers. Since we have talked about it today! How can Ruyi hide it? Tell these old brothers the truth!"
According to the information I have received now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty invested no less than 150,000 troops in the siege of Jinzhou! They were all the elites of the Eight Banners! If my information is correct, by then, I am afraid there will still be 30,000 to 40,000 Mongolian soldiers and
Ten to twenty thousand Korean soldiers came to support the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Our trip is really extremely dangerous!"
"What? The North Korean soldiers dared to rebel?" Wang Pu immediately became unhappy! There was nothing he could do about the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, but the small North Korea actually dared to make trouble. How could it be tolerated?
Yang Guozhu's face was also a little solemn, "Brother Liu is right! I also got some news in this regard! After the defeat in Pinggu, I heard that in the past year or so, Huang Taiji spent a lot of money, and it was just the elite of the armored men.
So he recruited more than 20,000 more soldiers! I'm afraid the other Eight Banners soldiers have also filled in a lot! He came well prepared!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Yes! The Manchu Qing Dynasty was at its peak, and it was at its peak! The two generations of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji worked hard, and those elite Eight Banners soldiers were almost at their peak, both in terms of martial arts and age! If it were a head-on confrontation,
, we are afraid that we are really no match! But!"
Liu Ruyi suddenly changed the topic, "There is no victorious general in this world! Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful, it is not invincible! In Pinggu, I could severely trample Huang Taiji under my feet. This time, he
Still no match for me!"
Seeing Liu Ruyi's domineering appearance, Yang Guozhu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Brother Liu, does it mean that you already have a clever plan for this expedition?"
"Oh! Brother Liu, we are all brothers! If you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly! But don't whet your appetite! To be honest, I'm really a little scared of that stupid Huang Taiji.
Ah!" Wang Pu also said anxiously.
"Don't worry, you two! Let Brother Liu finish his words first!" Hu Dawei has had the experience of fighting side by side with Liu Ruyi, so he naturally knows that Liu Ruyi's words will never be without purpose! Since he said this, he must
There will be countermeasures!
But Hu Dawei guessed wrong this time!
The scale of the Battle of Songjin was so huge that it would be impossible for Liu Ruyi's original small plans and tricks to come to fruition!
If you want to defeat the Qing army, there is only one word "procrastination"!
Huang Taiji couldn't bear the drag!
The dragging made Huang Taiji feel distressed!
If Dorgon is forced to have a different intention, then Ming Dynasty will have a chance!
After all, Jinzhou has the advantage of a city, and the Songjin Defense Line has been operated by the Ming Dynasty for many years and has many fortresses. As long as the food, grass, and baggage can keep up, the Ming army is fully capable and strong enough to fight with the Qing army!
If it's a tough front, that's not impossible!
However, doing that would be too risky, and even Liu Ruyi was not completely sure!
This kind of critical node naturally focuses on stability!
Undefeated, this is already a victory for the Ming army!
However, now that it has reached this point, Liu Ruyi will certainly not weaken his own morale. He smiled and said: "A few old brothers are flattering me! Is there any way! I really have one now! However, if we want to implement it in detail, we still have to wait until Song.
Let’s talk about the Jin Defense Line! Brothers, you can rest assured that as long as we work together and ensure that everyone will receive a huge gift!”
Seeing Liu Ruyi say this, Yang Guozhu and others were even more certain that Liu Ruyi must have a strategy to defeat the enemy, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed!
At this time, the maid outside the door knocked gently, "General, the dishes are ready, do you want to serve them?"
Wang Pu smiled and said, "Look at us, we are just talking about big things, and we are still hungry! Hurry, serve the food quickly!"
"Yes!" The little maid responded softly and then left!
Soon, exquisite dishes were brought to the private room one after another.
Wang Pu was the first to pick up the wine glass and said with a smile: "The expedition is about to begin. When we get there, we may not be able to enjoy such fine wine and food! Come, brothers Liu, Yang Shuai, Hu Shuai, today, no matter what else, we will
Open up and drink! You must not come back until you are drunk!"
