Chapter 72 Retire

What difference does the country's army have between each other? Self-respect and selfishness are what Zhu Yongxing hates. As long as you fight hard and be loyal to the country, you can make up for the loss, not only in soldiers, but also in weapons and equipment, military pay, and food.

.

Ma Bao, Wei Junzhong, Ma Zide, etc., they led their troops to attack the east and west, and fought continuously. As a result, the troops became stronger and stronger as they fought, the more people fought, and the weapons and equipment got better and better.

The same situation applies to the navy. They fought against the Fujian Navy of the Qing Army, fought against the Guangdong Navy, and fought against the Nanruan Navy. The losses were inevitable, but they surpassed the Zheng family and became the largest fleet in the Far East.

The facts are before our eyes. Zhu Yongxing also said something similar, in Di Bao. Those who followed the investment late may not understand that there is still the old thinking, that is, "the soldiers are the generals", or by extension,

Consider the interests of a group. Wise people see all this clearly, like Pi Xiong, Hu Guozhu, etc. They can look at problems from a higher perspective.

The attack on the Western Liaoning Corridor posed a greater threat to the Qing court. It may certainly cause the Qing court to mobilize troops and increase the pressure on the first theater in the Northeast. But as Pi Xiong said, this news

He said, the Qing government mobilized troops from the front, and the Ming army could also mobilize troops from the front. The troops in the first theater in the Northeast were not strong, not even as strong as an army. However, in response to the Qing government's reinforcements, the General Staff's response plan could be

The strength of the first theater of war expanded rapidly.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the damage to the strength of the first theater. As long as you fight well, whether it is to eliminate the Qing army or to coordinate the overall situation, it is a good choice.

…………

Too many choices will make people think twice and be indecisive; too few choices may not be a good thing. Because it may be a choice between bad and worse, or it may be difficult to make a decision due to uncertainty.

The current situation is like this for the Qing court. It is difficult to win a battle. It is also difficult to retreat. It is also costly and cannot be sustained. Peace talks are sternly rejected, and surrender is absolutely impossible. Oh, there are many choices!

"How can we cowardly give up the empire that our ancestors gained through bravery? Either win or die in battle. I will never be a king who runs away?"

Kang Xiaosan was roaring, Suk Saha had a worried look on his face, Ao Bai was watching with cold eyes, and Yi Bilong responded calmly.

When Zheng Chenggong marched his troops into the Yangtze River and approached Nanjing, Shunzhi lost his composure and planned to escape back outside the customs. Later, the Empress Dowager reprimanded Shunzhi, and Shunzhi became furious again and wanted to conquer the country himself. He also revealed what he wanted to do with Kang Xiaosan now.

Similar words.

But the current crisis is not the same as that of the past. It is already close at hand and will be difficult to resolve.

"Taizu Saerhu defeated the Ming army of 470,000; Taizong Songjin defeated Liaodong in a battle; the late emperor commanded tens of thousands of troops and marched to Xi Kuyuan..." Kang Xiaosan continued to shout about the glorious achievements of his ancestors. Not only did the children

It doesn't seem to be inspiring, but it feels funny.

"This moment, that moment." Obai rolled his eyes and interrupted Kang Xiaosan calmly, "There are only a million Manchus. The reason for sweeping the world was the internal strife of the Ming court and the surrender of the Han people to the Qing Dynasty. Now what?

, the Han people have already launched a massive counterattack, even if the entire clan is armed, even if one is equal to ten, it will not be of any use."

"Although I am not personally in charge, I don't know anything." Kang Xiaosan shouted angrily: "The Ming army only has 200,000 troops, which is as different as our army. The Eight Banners are overwhelming and invincible. It's because of your incompetence and cowardice."

"Your Majesty." Ao Bai raised his head angrily and said loudly: "The Ming army is 200,000 strong. Where did the Ming army in Liaodong come from? Are they advancing from Henan to the north? Are they attacking Shanxi from Shaanxi? There are also those from the sea.

, Tianjin, Shanhaiguan, Liaoxi Corridor, etc. can all be attacked by enemy landings."

Kang Xiaosan was startled, took two steps back, sat in the royal chair, and looked at Obei in astonishment.

Aobai continued to raise his head and said: "The land of Longxing is the foundation of our Manchu people, and we must not miss it. Now the Ming army is densely packed along the river, but they are not in a hurry to advance. In fact, they are containing our army. They continue to use boats

The purpose of transporting troops to Liaodong is to seize the roots of our Manchu people. A tree has roots, and its branches and leaves can survive even if its branches are injured; if the tree's roots die, its branches and leaves will not wither and turn yellow. I have received the favor entrusted by the late emperor, and have fulfilled my duties loyally and conscientiously. How could God not stop me?

Bless me for the great Qing Dynasty, but it is not due to incompetence and cowardice."

Under the resistance and opposition, the huge Yuqing Palace was as silent as an ancient tomb. Only a gold-plated Western self-ringing clock in the corner of the palace mechanically "clicked". The other ministers kneeling in the palace looked at each other and carefully listened for the movement.

Kangxi grabbed the back of the chair with both hands, sweating, and asked with a slight stutter: "Eight, Eight Banners warriors, invincible in cavalry and shooting, first defeat the Ming army in front of them with all their strength, and then mobilize troops to pacify Liaodong, defeat them one by one, Taizu was in Saar

Hu..."

Ao Bai did not kowtow. He knelt down and raised his hands and said: "The Ming army's weapons are sharp and can defeat our Eight Banners cavalry. The enemy is heavily deployed, and our Eight Banners cavalry has no chance to penetrate and roundabout. They have a chance to defeat them. If they fight head-on, they will be dragged down."

It will be consumed. If one Ming army dies, two can be replaced. How many people from our entire Manchu clan can compete with them?"

"Yes, even if we retreat cowardly, the Ming army will still pursue and fight fiercely, and there will be no peace outside the pass." Kang Xiaosan blinked his eyes, "This is a bitter cold place——"

"It is precisely because it is a bitter cold place that the Ming army has difficulty fighting." Obai said in a deep voice: "Look at the Manchus now. They gradually lost their courage when they came to the Central Plains and only cared about enjoying happiness and peace. When they returned to Liaodong,

You can just sit on the firewood and taste your courage, sharpen your body, and be as brave as Taizu and Taizong."

Kang Xiaosan glanced around, trying to find the ministers who could speak for him in order to counter the powerful Obai. However, all the ministers avoided his gaze, and Suk Saha's lips moved twice, but he had no choice.

He lowered his head.

Without the support of her ministers, the Empress Dowager refused to come forward, and even vaguely revealed her intention to retreat outside the customs. Kang Xiaosankong felt angry and depressed, but could do nothing.

Although the princes and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were extremely reluctant to leave the Central Plains, and they once advocated a fight to the death like Kang Xiaosan, they could not come up with any good solutions, they just made empty noises. Among the four auxiliary ministers, Sony was seriously ill, and Obai covered the sky with one hand.

, Er Bilong added, although Suk Saha is at odds with Obai, he is not a stupid person, and he also sees the current predicament.

As Obai said, the martial prowess of the Eight Banners disciples is far less than that of Naizu, let alone the spirit of hard work and hard work. It is also difficult to find famous generals who can be used for great purposes. The reluctantly dispatched Da Su, Suo Hong and Lai Da are not only second-rate figures.

, and there was nothing they could do on the Hejian front line. After a few battles, they complained endlessly, but repeatedly urged the court to send more reinforcements and increase artillery.

The Ding family slaves of the princes in the capital have already been transferred once, and suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jiangnan. Some junior banner slaves are good at being domineering on weekdays, but after experiencing the battle with the Ming army, they immediately

The fear of the enemy is as strong as a tiger. Once it is rumored, people are even more afraid to go into battle. Moreover, now that the situation is unfavorable, the Manchus are also worried that these slaves will turn to the Ming Dynasty and backfire on their masters, so they should not use them with confidence.

As for the princes and nobles, they were clamoring fiercely, but they were secretly making plans and preparations for their retreat. For example, sending their families away, such as moving money... people's hearts were actually broken.

Considering the current financial situation of the Qing court, even if the Ming army does not attack, the two armies can continue to stalemate, and supplies will not last long. In other words, the Ming court is not only competing with the Manchus for manpower, weapons and equipment, but also

Materials and logistics.
