Chapter 155 Dorgon: Why did Ming Gou attack outside his mouth?
Using a combination of business and warfare to pull the Mongolian forces onto the Ming chariot was the only way Zhu Youjian could think of to solve the northern border issue.
Logically speaking, the relationship between the Mongolian tribes in northern Miyun and the Ming Dynasty was relatively good in history, but after the Qing Dynasty defeated the power of Lin Dan Khan, this relationship no longer exists. Of course, from Gubeikou in the north of Miyun, Baima
You can see how strong this so-called good relationship is by looking at the solidity of the border wall.
In the nearly three hundred years since the founding of the country, the issue of the northern border has not been effectively resolved. In the past two or three hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has thought of various methods, including suppressing it with force, dividing it and drawing it together, and imposing economic sanctions, but these methods were all in vain in the end.
.
Maybe it’s because both the Manchus and Mongols belong to the border tribes. Anyway, the results achieved in the past ten years are better than those achieved by the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. Today, Zhu Youjian is somewhat skeptical of a historical point of view, saying that the Han nation has a strong ability to assimilate.
What's so great about this? The tribes on the northern grasslands have existed for thousands of years, and the assimilation of culture seems to have had no effect at all.
We cannot use old methods to solve the problem of border residents. After thinking about it, we can only use economic colonization! Although the grassland is relatively barren, it is not without products. Wool and fur are resources that are easy to obtain and use at this stage. We will find a way later.
It may be a way out to check the mineral resources in these places and make the use of troops on the grassland profitable.
We can learn from the methods of Western colonists, build some military settlements and support points, and then develop some local aristocratic compradors, so that the colonies can become cheap industrial resource production bases and become economic vassals. This may be a way out.
After Yu Liancheng came out of the palace, his mind was always on where to find an understanding person to clarify the matter explained by the emperor.
There were a lot of people, but where could he find them? Finally, he thought of Ruan Dacheng, whom he just met today. Isn't this man a world-famous talent, and is he highly regarded by the emperor? He is asked to spend one hundred thousand taels of silver a year.
He should be a sensible person.
Most of the night, Ruan Dacheng was in the room of the post house, using a newly purchased alcohol lamp to write the words for the plaques of Xinmin Times and Xinmin Drama Society. He wrote several words, but Lao Ruan felt that he was not very satisfied and the rhyme of his writing was not smooth.
.This will be your main battlefield in the future. The plaque must be written in a grand and not too delicate way.
While he was thinking about how to write the plaque more grandly, the doorman knocked on the door and came in to announce that the eunuch in charge of the supply and marketing cooperative had come to visit him at the inn.
Why does this person come to me in the middle of the night? We just met today. It seems that this person can't have a deep friendship with him.
The disciple Yu Liancheng was brought to the room relatively coldly, and Ruan Dacheng did not even put down the brush in his hand.
"Liancheng is really sorry that I came to bother you sir late at night. However, Liancheng really has something big going on here, so I came to seek advice from you sir, and please give me your advice without hesitation." Yu Liancheng expressed his apology to Ruan Dacheng with great embarrassment, and he also
It can be seen that Lao Ruan's attitude towards him at this time is not enthusiastic. But there is no way, if you want to ask for help, you have to correct your attitude.
"My father-in-law, what's the matter here? I don't know if I can do my best."
"It's like this. Your Majesty asked me to enter the palace today and told me to organize a caravan from Miyun North to cooperate with the new army coming out of the customs. He said that this is the so-called commercial war. It is clear that business affairs are connected, but commercial war is
It's a bit difficult to understand, I wonder if sir can give Liancheng some pointers."
"Business war? Eunuch Yu, can you tell me in a little more detail what the Holy One said?" Yu Liancheng came over in the middle of the night to ask questions, and Ruan Dacheng became interested. As a scholar, he must be particularly interested in giving advice and making suggestions. I like to blend in because it shows my level of ability and I don’t have to take responsibility.
Seeing that Ruan Dacheng was interested, Yu Liancheng quickly told Ruan Dacheng exactly what the emperor had said before. Comrade Ruan was also an important person who could participate in the emperor's secrets, so telling him these words was not considered a leak.
After listening to Yu Liancheng's detailed introduction, Ruan Dacheng fell into deep thought. This is not a simple business war. It feels that the emperor wants to use Yu Liancheng's supply and marketing cooperative system as an opening to play a big game against the north. Such a big chess game, Letting a eunuch take charge is really a waste of money. But this eunuch actually came to me to ask for advice. Doesn't this mean that we are the ones who really want to play chess? In an instant, Lao Ruan felt that God had given this man a great responsibility. feeling.
When Zhu Youjian was preparing to continue his efforts in the northern grasslands, the Manchu and Qing nobles far away in the northeast were also discussing this matter in Shenyang City.
In the Manchu and Qing Palace in Shenyang, Dorgon was sitting next to the dragon chair. Together with his nephew, he was listening to several other speakers discussing the next strategic direction.
The integration speed of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's internal forces far exceeded Zhu Youjian's expectation. That is, more than a month after Huang Taiji's death, they had reached a consensus on the division of power. They had even begun preparations to continue launching a war before this year. The wars of the Ming Dynasty.

Their initial plan was to send troops to Ningyuan Shanhaiguan area in the near future to further reduce the Ming army's power outside the customs. If the situation was good, they could occupy Ningyuan City or even break through Shanhaiguan.
The reasons for this arrangement are quite complicated. The operations around the pass to attack the Ming Dynasty from the end of last year to the beginning of this year were not considered successful. They did not gain much but suffered huge losses. This made the Manchu nobles have doubts about continuing to circumvent the border. The Jinzhou area was newly attached soon. , some people who have surrendered in the past year are eager to move, and sending troops to the Ningyuan area can deter these dishonest people. There is also the inertial military thinking. In these years, the Qing troops have always detoured once and attacked the Ningjin line of defense. Everyone feels that this rhythm has been used all the time and the effect is very good, so there is no need to change it.
Just when they were ready to implement the plan, the Ming army actually made a strange move and ran outside Gubeikou to attack the nearby Mongolian tribes. Faced with this sudden change, the Manchu and Qing officials had to hold a meeting to discuss whether to follow the original plan. to start the war.
"Hong Chengchou, tell me why the dogs are attacking outside the mouth? What is their intention in making such an abnormal move?" Dorgon listened to other senior executives arguing noisily for a long time, but no unified opinion was formed. So he thought Ask Hong Chengchou, who knew the situation in the Ming Dynasty, what he said about this matter.
Hong Chengchou was standing at the edge of the hall. When he heard Dorgon's roll call, he quickly stepped forward and said: "Prince Regent, in view of the guilty ministers, they should be trying to prevent our army from entering the pass and wanted to pass the patrol outside Miyunkou." , to keep our army out of the border wall."
Lao Hong's current situation is quite delicate. Dorgon is not like Huang Taiji. He has no good impression of Ming ministers like Lao Hong who surrendered, so his attitude towards him is far less enthusiastic than Huang Taiji. Now Lao Hong is completely A fringe figure! That is to say, he must be used as a staff member today, otherwise Lao Hong would not be able to participate in a meeting of this level.
Hong Chengchou also couldn't understand the Ming Dynasty's strange move to use troops outside the country this year. This was not the Ming Dynasty's usual style of doing things, and it was also not in line with Lao Hong's own military thinking. The only thing he could think of was to prevent the Qing army from entering the pass.
