Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 663: The Rear Area, Hidden Worries
Nurhaci did not dare to think any further.
How many Jurchens were there in Jianzhou and how many Han people were there?
Just a few hundred thousand people can annihilate the Jianzhou Jurchens. And if this trend continues, if two to three million people come, will there be any Jianzhou Jurchens?
If this situation continues, Jianzhou Jurchens will have no chance of survival.
But if you want to break the situation, when the opponent has such an advantage, if you just lay out some tricks and traps, they will definitely not fall for the bait. You must have something that can impress the opponent.
There is also a hidden secret line in Jianzhou on the Zhou side. Nurhaci has known about it for a long time. Otherwise, Shuerhaqi and his son would not be easily bribed by the other side. A Jianzhou right guard commander coaxed Shuerhaqi and his son into ignorance.
Last name.
After finally getting rid of Shuerhaqi and his son, Chu Ying was targeted by Da Zhou again, and could not hide Nurhaci.
Even Chu Ying frankly stated that someone had indeed contacted him quietly and wanted to support him in escaping from imprisonment. However, firstly, the risk was too great and the conditions were not mature. Secondly, Chu Ying never gave up on the idea that he could take over his father's position.
, so the negotiation failed.
It was precisely because of this reason that Nurhaci wondered whether he could use Chu Ying to fish out Dazhou.
But if Chu Ying is suddenly released and entrusted with important tasks, he will definitely not be able to hide it from the other party, so this still needs a step-by-step process.
Using his own defeat in these two games as an excuse, he pretended to make people internally dissatisfied with him, and various "contradictions" and "internal strife" began to appear. Some people even began to think that Chu Ying was more capable than Daishan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.
He was better able to lead troops and started to appeal in front of himself. He was under pressure or felt a little "guilty", so he released Chu Ying again and slowly granted certain positions to create this situation.
It's just that such a process really takes too long, and Nurhachi doesn't dare to put all his hopes on such a seemingly weak "trap plan". What if Dazhou doesn't believe it or doesn't take the bait?
This can only be said to be a possibility. It would be best if it could be possible, but if it could not be possible, there must be other backup strategies.
Nurhachi was a little disappointed with the Chahar people. In fact, the Chahar people were the greatest threat to Liaodong. In the Western Liaoning Corridor, apart from the Horqin people, they were within the Chahar people's sphere of influence. As long as they were willing to contribute, they could defeat them.
The roar of wind, cranes, and soldiers in the western Liaoning Corridor can make it impossible for the Liaodong side to drag on in such an orderly manner.
In fact, the Inner Khalkha people are located further away than the Chahar people, but Lindan Batur has too weak control over Chahar. On the contrary, Zasai has great control over the five Inner Khalkha people. If
If Zaisei Ken joins in, there is still room for the situation to be reversed.
The North Koreans have become cowarded and ignore the people they sent there. No matter how they lobby, they remain silent, neither agreeing nor objecting. However, it is absolutely impossible to get them to take action.
The Japanese also responded, but Nurhachi knew very well that water far away could not quench the thirst of the people nearby. No matter how cheerful and enthusiastic the Japanese were, they were alone on the sea and could not help Liaodong at all.
Inner Khalkha people are the key.
But the key point is that the Inner Khalkha people are not willing to get on the boat easily.
He knew clearly that once Zhou really defeated the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the Khalkhas would not fare well in the end, but Zasai was unwilling to change his current attitude easily.
Nurhachi also had a rough idea of what was going on inside. The Great Zhou Dynasty had used material trade to bind the Inner Khalkha people together in the past few years. Those Inner Khalkha people could no longer afford to lose all kinds of supplies that were constantly being transported from the pass to the grasslands.
Supplies, iron materials, ironware, tea, ceramics, cotton and silk, spices, salt, and various southern goods. Without the supply of these supplies, the Inner Khalkha people will be in chaos.
Even Zaisai did not dare to ignore the attitude of the five Inner Khalkha tribes. There were still many people among the five Inner Khalkha tribes who were not convinced by it, so he had to reconsider it again and again.
The problem is that Jianzhou Jurchen feels like she can't wait any longer.
Even if it was a risk, he still had to take action.
*********
"Is Ziying's style of play too slow to take effect?" When Guan Yingzhen stepped into Wenyuan Pavilion, he heard Li Sancai discussing this issue with Tang Binyin.
"It has been a year and a half. Four border towns have been mobilized for reinforcements. The loss has exceeded 40,000 troops. The cost is huge. Last year, Dongjiang Town and Denglai Town had already reached Gushan Fort, but a year later, the battle line is still there.
In the battle between Gushan Fort and Jiachang Fort, Datong Town lost more than 4,000 people in the last month alone..."
"The cost is also quite huge, the Ministry of Revenue..."
Guan Yingzhen frowned, Li Sancai was showing signs of breaking up more and more, and he was a bit out of tune with Qi Yongtai.
It turned out that the two could still maintain a basic harmony, but as Gu Bingqian became more and more powerful after becoming the second assistant, Li Sancai became more and more angry, thinking that Qi Yongtai deprived him of the opportunity of the second assistant, and Gu Bingqian did not have it at all.
The qualification to take over as the second assistant was purely given by Qi Yongtai privately.
Ziying is Qi Yongtai's favorite disciple. This time he went to Liaodong to relieve the imperial court's worries.
When he first went to Liaodong, Li Sancai also supported it with both hands, and when Feng Ziying went to Liaodong, he had already explained the strategy, which was that it would take three to five years to see results, and we should not expect to achieve the goal in one or two years.
We all knew it, but I didn't expect that Li Sancai would start acting like a monster again.
Li Sancai was not like this in the past, Guan Yingzhen knew very well, but now Li Sancai, who had an unbalanced mentality, seemed to be a little careless.
Seeing Guan Yingzhen come in, Li Sancai didn't care, "Dongxian, I'm afraid it's not possible to continue the stalemate in Liaodong. Tens of thousands of troops have passed through Ganning Town and Datong Town, and Denglai Town has not withdrawn. Now
There are two hundred thousand troops pressing down on Liaodong, and every day people eat horses' chews. I'm afraid the court won't be able to bear it."
Before Guan Yingzhen had time to respond, Huang Ruliang stepped in at the door and continued: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is indeed in difficulty, but Liaodong is still allocating money according to the standards set at the beginning, without giving an extra penny.
As for Liaodong's current huge expenditure, Ziying will find a way herself, which is what she promised at the beginning, otherwise she will give up halfway or interfere with the front line rashly, and I am afraid that the gain will outweigh the loss."
In fact, Huang Ruliang was not too optimistic about Gu Bingqian, but after all, Gu Bingqian was a scholar from Jiangnan, and he had been the minister of the Ministry of Rites for many years and had very senior qualifications. Even Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe could only recommend Fang Congzhe when they became officials. Huang Ruliang also just joined the cabinet, so naturally he would not.
Maybe he got there before Gu Bingqian, so he had to maintain this scene.
Li Sancai snorted softly, "I can't say that tomorrow. I know that Ziying benefited from the help of those businessmen in Liaodong. He organized chaos, relocated people, and built bridges, paved roads, and built workshops. He did a lot of things.
, but this is also a policy given by the imperial court. I heard that he stated that the rebels will divide the land in Liaodong. They will be tax-free for five years and cultivate it continuously for ten years. The land will be owned by the rebels. This may be a bit inappropriate. This is the land of the imperial court.
,…”
"Daofu, yes, these lands theoretically belong to the imperial court, but the imperial court has too much land, and the land in Dongfan also belongs to the imperial court, but is anyone willing to go? The Anfu merchants are not willing to pay to transport people there.
.Also, in the west, Guazhou and Hami are theoretically the land of the imperial court, but so what? The Yarkand people occupy it, or there is no one to cultivate it at all. Is that okay?"
Huang Ruliang was extremely disdainful of Li Sancai's views.
The sovereignty belongs to the imperial court, but no one has cared about it for decades, so what are you doing with it?
Now that we have finally coaxed these rebels to settle down and reclaim wasteland in Liaodong, what if they are exempted from tax for five years and belong to them for ten years?
The land rent was gone, but the taxes were indispensable. Huang Ruliang wished he could bring dozens or millions of people to cultivate land, whether it was Liaodong, Dongfan, Luzon, Kuwu, or Ezo.
Don't worry about the small profits in front of you, as long as people gain a foothold there and take root, the source of tax revenue will naturally and gradually develop.
Would Li San not understand such a simple truth?
Huang Ruliang didn't believe it. This was just a deliberate attempt to pick a fight against Feng Ziying.
"Tomorrow, Dongfan, Western Region and Liaodong cannot be compared..." Li Sancai did not expect Huang Ruliang to be so serious, and argued with some reluctance: "That is the land that has always been in the hands of the imperial court..."
"It has always been in the hands of the imperial court, but has it ever been used by the imperial court? In the past, Ming Nuer Gandusi was the governor. This dynasty simply set up military towns, and the garrison was limited to the western Liaoning corridor. Eastern Liaoning and southern Liaoning were basically a wilderness.
, this also led to the fact that the logistics support of Liaodong had to be transported from within our customs, which consumed a huge amount of money. Now that Niuzhuang and Jiuliancheng ports have been opened and completed, and maritime transportation has developed, things have come back to life. The road from Niuzhuang to Liaoyang has been completed.
These rebellious people can rely on roads to reclaim wasteland and the promotion of potatoes. Without these, southern Liaoning would still be thousands of miles of wilderness. If Jianzhou Jurchens were to be wiped out, the land would be expanded for thousands of miles and it would be a wilderness. The court still lacked that kind of wilderness.
A little bit?"
Huang Ruliang was rude and used every opportunity to attack. Li Sancai's words were full of loopholes. He wanted to use this to target Feng Ziying's strategy in Liaodong, but Huang Ruliang could not agree.
"But starting tomorrow, do you know that for more than a year, the war in Liaodong has been continuous, with huge casualties among soldiers, and the people in Beijing and Jiangnan have reacted. There is no war that has been fought for one or two years without an outcome, and nine people have been mobilized.
There are six border towns on the border. How long will it take to fight like this? There is a general saying that we can't keep fighting like this endlessly. Even if those businessmen support Ziying, Ziying also regards the land of Liaodong.
The various exclusive rights used as collateral for the issuance of Liaodong bonds will ultimately fall on the court to repay the principal with interest..."
Li Sancai dared to make such an attack, so he naturally relied on him.
