Chapter 054 The clouds and rains are waiting for a while
Isn't that right? Now that he is so pragmatic, he is like a fire captain, and he doesn't care where there is trouble.
After Anda's death, in order to ensure that Tumut continued to be more loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Gao Pragmatic was sent as an envoy with full authority, and then commanded the Battle of Monan, establishing a strategic advantage over the Mongolian left wing.
After being transferred to Liaodong, because Tumen contacted Chaohua to launch an attack on southern Liaoning, Gao pragmatically commanded the battle of southern Liaoning. He not only captured Chaohua alive, but also regained the Liaohe River Loop, completely connecting Liaodong and Liaoxi.
At the same time, it also expands the strategic depth of Liaodong. There is no need to worry that Tumen will be able to easily cut off the connection between Liaodong and Western Liaoning in the future, establishing an advantageous situation for taking the initiative in the Battle of Chahar.
Immediately afterwards, he used a "decapitation tactic" against the growing Ye He tribe and directly ambushed and killed Ye He's second beile. It can be predicted that within a certain period of time, Ye He will be unable to expand externally and can only be busy cleaning up the internal situation.
In the process, the relationship between Ye He and Aixinjueluo was even alienated, and Nurhaci was charged with killing his father-in-law, making it less likely for them to have an unexpected alliance in the future.
Then he was recalled to the capital because of the financial difficulties caused by the Yunnan War. He used the magic money of the Yunnan War to pay for the military expenses. He even used Annan's power to completely destroy Burma, creating an opportunity for the court to concentrate on the Mongolian left wing.
conditions to forcibly create a stable southern Xinjiang.
Finally, in order to ensure the military advantage over the Mongolian left wing, he was appointed as the Minister of Rongzheng, completely integrated the Beijing camp, and established a new imperial guard, so that the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp regained its combat effectiveness, especially its field capability, and strengthened its defense against Chaha
Your military superiority.
Looking at all the above, even Zhu Yijun, who has always recognized that "the capable are more diligent", feels a little embarrassed and is worried that he has overused his high pragmatism - Zhu Yijun is afraid that he will use his high pragmatism to Zhuge Liang, but don't be tired when the time comes.
It would be better if the star falls five feet wide.
He didn't know if it was because Zhu Yijun had a tendency to put on weight. He looked at Gao Pragmatic and felt that his former classmate seemed to have lost some weight. He couldn't help but expressed concern: "Pragmatic, I see you seem to be getting thinner? Can you?"
You have to take care of yourself, what we agreed upon back then has just begun, and your future burden will still be very heavy, so don’t let me take the lead."
These words did not sound like an emperor, but the concern in the words was sincere. Even a rational person like Gao Pragmatic could not help but be a little moved. He smiled and comforted in his own unique way: "Your Majesty, I am not thin.
This makes the body more symmetrical.”
"Nonsense, I think your body shape was well-proportioned when you won the title in Toad Palace in the eighth year of Wanli. Now you are thinner." Zhu Yijun's understanding of symmetry seems to be somewhat different from that of Gao Jingshi. He didn't care whether Gao Jingshi objected or not, and looked outside.
He shouted: "Chen Ju, please remember, I will give Gao Gongbao two fat sheep and twenty pounds of bacon later." Chen Ju outside immediately agreed.
Gao Pingshi couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, there is no shortage in my family..."
"I know you are not short of these few sheep and several kilograms of meat, but you have to eat the ingredients given by the emperor, right?" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, let's not mention these gossips... we just talked about it.
Where is it?"
Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to thank him first, and then replied: "Speaking of which, although Nurhaci does not dare to go against the Ming Dynasty on the surface at the moment, privately he may consider doing something to join forces to create trouble for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yijun snorted: "I don't really believe that he has such vision and ability, but since you think you should guard against him, it's not impossible, just treat it as a foolproof plan. But... what should we do? ?You are no longer Liao Fu after all."
Gao pragmatic pondered for a moment and replied: "The deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Cao Yan, and his Kaiyuan general Ma Cheng'en, Shenyang guerrilla Qi Jin, Tieling guerrilla Cao Jian and other generals in the northeastern part of Liaoning are all generals who are brave and capable. Especially, especially Ma Chengen was a man who made great achievements in the battle of southern Liaoning. He might as well use his unit as the main force to patrol the northern border of Liaoning in the name of inspecting defense. At the same time, let Cao Yu visit Fushun Pass in person, summon Nurhachi to lecture and tell His court decided to order him to immediately withdraw his troops and return all the cities and villages of the Hunhe tribe that originally belonged to Nikan Wailan."
Zhu Yijun was a little surprised, even a little surprised: "Will Nurhaci agree to this condition?"
Gao pragmatic raised his eyebrows and snorted: "The emperor may not know something. Although there are three guards in Jianzhou, there are actually five tribes, namely the Sukesu Hu tribe, the Hunhe tribe, the Wangjia tribe (Wanyan) and the Hunhe tribe under the command of Nurhachi. Department), Zhechen Department, and Dong E Department. Although Nikan Wailan was of ordinary origin, he became the lord of Tulun City in his early years because of his good management. Later, because of his contribution to helping Ning Yuanbo, he built the new Jiaban City and actually controlled Hun. He tribe, and based on the Hunhe tribe, gathered the surrenders of other Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou and became the most powerful chieftain in Jianzhou. Under today's situation, our Ming Dynasty can temporarily let Nurhachi keep some of the spoils, that is, the cities outside the Hunhe tribe , but the Hunhe tribe itself must ask him to return Nikanwailan..."
Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "If Nurhaci refuses, should we fight?"
"We must try our best to get Nurhaci to agree through various means." Gao Pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly: "But if we can't convince him in the end, then I'm afraid we will still have to fight a small battle."
Zhu Yijun's frown deepened: "A small fight? How to control the scale of this 'small fight'?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Send troops to escort Nikan Wailan to Jiabancheng and garrison troops for protection. Apart from that, my Ming Dynasty will not compete with Nurhaci for other places for the time being."
Zhu Yijun pondered: "You mean, our approach is to place Nikan Wailan in the Hunhe tribe, so that people will feel that the Hunhe tribe still exists and has not been annexed by Nurhaci?"
Gao pragmatically said: "It can be roughly understood in this way."
"But if there is only one Jiaba City in Nikanwailan, is it enough for people to admit that the Hunhe tribe is still there?" Zhu Yijun hesitated.
Gao pragmatic replied: "That's enough. As long as Nikanwailan can continue to receive the support of Ming Dynasty, others will recognize him."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and felt that this was reasonable. After all, as long as the Ming Dynasty recognized it, it would be a great cause of justice - who said that the leaders of the Jurchen tribes need to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty to be legal?
But he still hesitated: "Even if he was nominally recognized by the Jurchen tribes, at that time he only had Jiaban City in his hands. This strength was probably not enough to be an enemy of Nurhaci. Could it be that our Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers Do you still want to help him defend the city?"
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said: "It's best to help him guard for a while, but this matter can be done without too many people."
Zhu Yijun was a little surprised: "Really? Since Nurhachi's troops are quite capable of fighting, how can they defend it with so few men and horses?"
"Defending is an attitude. Whether you can defend it or not is not the key." Gao Pragmatic shook his head and said: "Our people only need to do one thing well, and that is, regardless of whether Jiaban City can be defended or not, we must ensure that Ni
Guan Wailan himself is alive."
Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Pragmatic suspiciously and said thoughtfully: "Are you deliberately trying to lure Nurhaci into sending troops?"
Gao Pragmatic smiled: "That's not true. In fact, my original intention is that... as long as the flag of the Ming Dynasty is planted on the tower of Jiabancheng, Nurhaci will not dare to act rashly now. As for what he said just now, Nikan Wailan himself must be guaranteed
Stay alive, this is actually just in case."
Zhu Yijun did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Besides fear of the Ming Dynasty, is there any other reason why you think Nurhachi dare not act rashly?"
"It's not the reason, but the means." Gao pragmatically said: "Actually, my Ming Dynasty can play a lot of leaves (leaf cards) now. For example, I ambushed the two chiefs of Ye He last time, but in the end it was Nurhachi who completed the final blow.
, In this way, the relationship between Ye He and Su Kesu Hu has been forged. In this case, if Ming Dynasty is suddenly willing to support Ye He in revenge, does the emperor think Ye He’s new Baylor will be very happy? "
"Well..." Zhu Yijun muttered: "If Ye He Xinbeile wants to secure his position as soon as possible, it is indeed a good idea to take revenge on Nurhachi, but there is a problem here - the death of the second chief Ye He was your fault.
That is the handiwork of my Ming Dynasty. Now how do you know that they will not put the blame on my Ming Dynasty, but just hold on to Nurhaci?"
"Your Majesty, this problem is actually not that complicated." Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly and said: "Look at the incident when Nurhachi sought revenge from Nikan Wailan - Jue Changan and his son actually died at the hands of Uncle Ning Yuan, and Nikan Wailan
Lan was just an unlucky guy who took the blame, but did Nurhachi ever mention that he and Uncle Ning Yuan had a grudge against killing their father and ancestors?
Of course not. How dare he list Ning Yuanbo as his sworn enemy? Since Ning Yuanbo can kill Wang Gao and Atai, he is not afraid of killing Nurhaci! He has to pick the weak persimmon and beat Nikan Wailan.
It can not only unite the internal forces but also expand the strength, why not do it? Fighting Ning Yuanbo is just suicide. Of course Nurhaci will choose to fight Nikan Wailan!
As for Ye He now, just like Nurhachi before, they have just been taught a lesson by the Ming Dynasty. How dare they dare to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty now? Even if they want to unite internally, even if they want to expand their strength, they can only trouble Nurhachi.
.Because Ming Dynasty is not a soft persimmon, but Nurhaci is very likely to be in their eyes!"
Now that the truth was explained clearly, Zhu Yijun understood and immediately said with a smile: "Thankfully you are not a Jurchen. Otherwise, if you don't say anything else, with your ability to control things vertically and horizontally, I am afraid that you will cause big trouble for the Ming Dynasty."
.”
Gao pragmatic casually humbly said, but Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "But... can Ye He beat Nurhachi now? They have been defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and they don't know what the internal situation is now, but Nurhachi is
The military is at its peak, what if Ye He is also defeated..."
This is a good question. In fact, Gao Pragmatic cannot guarantee whether Ye He can beat Nurhachi.
Although according to the current strength of both parties, Ye He's advantage over Nurhachi is still quite large - even after the new defeat, Gao Pragmatic believes that Ye He can easily gather at least 10,000 people, and Nurhachi's men count
After all, there are only more than 3,000 troops, definitely less than 4,000.
But judging from the original historical situation, even if Ye He's military strength was twice or even three times that of Nurhaci, he would be defeated in the end. What is the reason here is actually a bit difficult to say.
After Nurhaci annexed Ye He, the soldiers who were originally from Ye He will be equally capable, and their performance on various battlefields will not be much worse than that of Nurhachi's old subordinates. However, when the two sides were engaged in the Jurchen Hegemony Tournament, Ye He was the one who was defeated.
The existence of Nurhachi hanging.
What's the problem?
Generals are not good? Maybe there is this factor, but as mentioned just now, generals from Yehe tribe did not perform badly later, which shows that the gap is at least not big.
Can't the soldiers? It's even more wrong. After the Jurchen tribes were reorganized into the Eight Banners, although the two banners of Zhenghuang and Xianghuang in the Nurhaci era were indeed the most capable of fighting (Suke Suhu's old foundation), the disparity in strength between the banners was not very big, and
The reason why you can fight the two yellow flags and have the equipment advantage is because of your direct lineage, you must have the best equipment.
It seems that the most likely problem is the system. Let’s not talk about other things about the Eight Banners system. At least under the circumstances at that time, it can indeed significantly improve the combat effectiveness of an army. The reason why Ye He clearly has the advantage in strength but is still continuously defeated by Nurhaci
The main reason for fighting is that the system is inferior to people.
However, Gao Pragmatic thought about it and felt that if the difference in combat effectiveness was really caused by institutional factors, then the gap between the two sides would not be too big now - Nurhaci has not yet established the Eight Banners.
With this judgment, Gao Pragmatic said: "Ye He may indeed be unstable internally now, but as long as a war against Nurhachi is launched, this instability will be temporarily suppressed. Regardless of the people under Baylor's command in the east and west,
No matter what I was thinking, I had to put aside other thoughts first and wait until Nurhaci was defeated.
And generally speaking, the two new Baylors may even compete with each other - whoever becomes the main force in defeating Nurhaci will be more likely to become the only leader within Yehe in the future, changing the situation where the two Baylors coexist in the East City and the West City, and may even unify
Ye He, the domineering Jurchen."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but cautiously said: "Then we are chasing wolves through the front door and letting in tigers through the back door?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Don't worry, first of all, this situation is just speculation, and it is only one of many possible situations; secondly, even if it really develops like this, there are still many methods that I, Ming, can use - Ye
If He wants to unify, will the Hada tribe be in a hurry? Will the Ula tribe be in a hurry? In that case, these tribes will become a force that our Ming Dynasty can use at any time.
All in all, my Ming Dynasty controls the Jurchens, and it is not necessary to take action personally at all times. As long as the Ming Dynasty maintains its huge advantage over the Jurchens and always insists on supporting the weak and defeating the strong, if there is any trend of 'unification' within the Jurchens, I, the Ming Dynasty, will respond positively and use the fastest speed to
If you use the speed to create internal enemies for it, you can always be invincible, and it can turn clouds and rains easily."
