Chapter 280 The sword points to the heights of Japan (32)
After explaining this, Gao Wuzheng finally understood what his brother meant, but he still had another question that he didn't understand. He said doubtfully: "Brother is far-sighted, and I admire him very much. But in my opinion, these three major Jurchen parts are obviously also
It’s not really a threat. Is it really necessary that my brother designed such a long-term... uh, long-term weakening strategy for it?"
When Gao Wuzheng said this, another brother-in-law, Gao Wuruo, also raised the same doubt and said: "Yes, brother, the three major Jurchen divisions - or including the Ula tribe, let's take a look at the four major Jurchen divisions.
The strongest one is Ye He, who can usually draw 20,000 troops.
The remaining three armies only have more than 10,000 troops under normal circumstances. The four major armies added together are only 60,000 to 70,000, or 70,000 to 80,000 troops. For the time being, let's think of it as 80,000, and 80,000 Jurchen soldiers.
What's the use? Our Liaodong Army alone has more than 200,000 soldiers. If the Jurchens really dare to have second thoughts, it would be easy for the Liaodong Army to defeat the four armies."
Gao pragmatic asked: "It is true that the Liaodong Army has more than 200,000 troops, but how many of them can fight? If I transfer the Xuanda elites among them back to this town, how many local elites will be left in Liaodong? Among the local elites in Liaodong,
, Li Chengliang, how many direct descendants are Li Rusong and his son?"
The three secretaries from the same family, Gao Pingshi, have not followed him on expeditions once or twice. They still have some understanding of the military affairs of the Nine Borders, especially the intelligence secretary Gao Qi, who knows this very well.
As soon as Gao Pingshi asked this question, he immediately replied: "My uncle asked how many people in Liaodong can fight. My nephew thought that the so-called able to fight should refer to those who can fight in the field with the enemy in a dignified formation. If we divide it according to this, Liaodong
There are about 130,000 to 140,000 capable warriors in the army, and if the Xuanda elite are withdrawn to the town as my uncle said, the local elites in Liaodong who are "capable of fighting" will be around 80,000 to 90,000.
Among the 890,000 troops, there are about 40,000 who are direct descendants of Li Chengliang, Li Rusong and his son. They are also the most elite group in the Liaodong Army. However, after several battle losses, although 40,000 troops have been replenished, the combat effectiveness may be somewhat lower.
decline.
Among the other about 40,000 to 50,000 people, the Li family's military affiliates such as Zu Chengxun, Cha Dashou, Yang Yuan and others each have about 500 to 3000 to 4000 servants, totaling about 30000. The rest are led by Cao Yun
Liaodong, headed by my brothers and others, is under the control of the generals of the Li clan and has about fifteen thousand servants."
After Gao Qi finished speaking, Gao Wuzheng smiled and said: "Brother, look, the Li and Cao families have a total of 890,000 servants. This power is in Liaodong. Even if the four major Jurchen tribes rebelled together, wouldn't it be wiped out in one fell swoop?"
Gao Pragmatic had always regarded Nurhachi as a major hidden danger. Now after hearing these words, he couldn't help but realize: Yes, my efforts over the years have not been in vain!
Internally, Liaodong's strength has not declined significantly, and due to the military reform and the clearing of Mongolia, the weapons and equipment far exceed the original historical level, the supply of horses is also sufficient, and horse breeds are even being improved.
.
Externally speaking, the strength of the Jurchen tribes is relatively more balanced. Nurhaci tried to fish in troubled waters several times but was frightened back by his beatings. Although he still let him make up for it among the Yalu River tribes, he gave up the Jianzhou right guard.
He became independent.
On the whole, Nurhaci is now at least half weaker than at this period in history. Taken together, Liaodong's strength at this time is completely capable of crushing Nurhachi.
As for Ye He and the Hada Division, at least for now, these two families definitely dare not to quarrel - there is no need! Ye He is married to me no matter what, and he can get along quite well in Manchuria. They have bad minds.
Want to rebel?
As for Hada, after some civil strife, the Hada tribe now has eight thousand soldiers and horses. This number of people is enough to suffocate in front of the Liaodong Army. Moreover, if the Hada tribe has second thoughts, I am afraid that the Hada tribe will be the first to attack
It was Ye He who was worried, worried that Ye He would take the opportunity to annex them with the support of Ming Dynasty.
So no matter how you look at it, unless Nurhachi is cheating and relies on less than 20,000 Jianzhou Left Guard troops to sweep across and integrate all the Jurchens in a flash, otherwise as long as it is a little slower, in one or two months, the Liaodong Army will gather eastward to march there.
Everything is over.
No matter how weak the three families of Ye He, Hada, and Jianzhou Youwei are, they can't be settled by Nurhaci in a month or two, right?
Of course, the level of integration of Nurhachigan in the original history was just okay. When Gao Pragmatic thought about this, he thought of the destruction of the Yehe tribe in history and some of the subsequent situations.
At that time, the Ming army was defeated in Sarhu, and the situation in Liaodong was in ruins. The Ming Dynasty was no longer able to protect the surviving Yehe tribe. Nurhaci took advantage of the remaining power of the victory in Sarhu and commanded Yehe City. At that time, Buzhai and Nalinbulu had already
While they were still alive, Jin Taishi and Buyangu guarded the east and west cities respectively. Huang Taiji personally visited the city and persuaded his two uncles to surrender to the city, but they were refused.
A brutal siege began. Later, the Jin army dug underground caves, causing the city wall to collapse, and invaded the east city. Jin Taiji set fire to the city and tried to escape in the chaos, but was captured. Seeing that the situation was over, Buyanggu sent an envoy to ask Daishan for help.
drop.
Since his sister was Daishan's stepmother, Daishan agreed to keep this Yehebele alive and made an oath to Buyangu and his mother. However, this oath was not kept.
After Buyangu surrendered, both Buyangu and Jintaiji were hanged, and Urabelle Buzhantai, who had previously defected to them, had died. All the Belles in the four parts of Haixi had been wiped out, except for Buyangu's younger brother Buer.
Hanggu was spared and was taken back by Daishan.
According to legend, before being hanged, Jin Taiji uttered a curse: "Even if one of my descendants has a daughter, they will overwhelm Manchuria!".
The Yehenara family is an old Jurchen surname, which means rising sun. They have constant entanglements with Aisinjueluo. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the two sides fought against each other to compete for the Yehe River area.
Legend has it that the Aixinjueluo chief pointed at the earth and said arrogantly to the Yehe people: "We are the most noble gold on the earth!" - "Aixin" means gold in Manchu. Hearing this, the Yehenara chief was greatly moved.
Laughing, pointing to the sun in the sky and saying: "This is our last name!"
At that time, Yehenala easily defeated Aisin Gioro. However, time passed and the rise and fall were unpredictable. They were eventually defeated by the defeated generals of the past and had to surrender to the strong rise of Nurhachi and his descendants.
Jin Taiji was killed, and his sons Delger and Niyaha surrendered. Niyaha belonged to the Zhenghuang Banner and was an assistant leader of an arrow. He later married the daughter of Azige, the thirteenth son of Nurhaci. Their son was the Kangxi Emperor.
The powerful minister Mingzhu. Mingzhu's son Nalan Xingde was an outstanding poet, unrivaled in the Qing Dynasty. Regardless of whether he was from the East or the West, he was the son of Jia Niu and Yang Ji Niu of the Qing Dynasty.
Another branch of the Yehe royal family is the descendant of their uncle Nyanyaka. After being merged into the Eight Banners, this branch is also very distinguished, no less than the Jintaishi branch.
Niyaniyaka's grandson Ashdar Khan came from the second house, and Gu Santai came from the third house. They were both important ministers of the Eight Banners. Gu Santai's niece was the concubine of Huang Taiji and the biological mother of Prince Zhuang Shuosei.
Suna, the grandson of Albu, Nyaka's second son, married Nurhachi's sixth daughter and gave birth to Suksaha. Suksaha belonged to Zhengbai Banner and was favored by Emperor Shunzhi for exposing Dorgon. He was the minister of the Kangxi Dynasty.
One of the four ministers.
Generally speaking, the main branch of Yehe tribe is divided into white flag and red flag.
In the original history, Huang Taiji's mother Meng Guzhezhe was the daughter of Dongye Hebeile Yang Jiniu, and the sister of Nalinbulu and Jintaishi. Therefore, the main branch of Dongye Hebei was divided into his Zhengbai Banner, which was later
The step-wife of Daishan, the leader of the two red flags, was the granddaughter of Qingjiali of Hebeile in the west and the sister of Buyangu. Sahalian, their child, later became the leader of the red flag. Therefore, this Yehe tribe entered the Zhengzheng flag.
red flag.
The famous curse before Jin Taiji was hanged led to folk legend that Aixinjueluo would not marry Yehenala as a ban. But this statement cannot withstand scrutiny. Not to mention that Meng Guzhezhe, the mother of Huang Taiji,
From Yehenala, and after the curse of Jintaiji, Kang Mazi's concubine Hui was the granddaughter of Delger, another son of Jintaishi, and the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi's eldest son Yinti. Emperor Qianlong's concubine Shu was also Yehenala.
Ra's.
Later, Cixi stayed behind the curtain to listen to politics, and fell into a coma in her later years, pushing the Qing Dynasty into the abyss. When her niece Empress Dowager Longyu hung up the curtain again, the Qing Dynasty perished, and it was only the pair of Yehenala's aunt and nephew who reminded the down-and-out banner people of this curse. The disaster of the country's subjugation.
Because the curse is obviously nonsense.
The curse of Jintaiji is just a legend, and the only truth is that the Yehe tribe was destroyed. This also marked the end of the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong. The Jianzhou five tribes, the Changbai tribes three, and the Haixi four tribes, or Hu
All four parts of Lun have become history.
After that, they and some wild Jurchens were merged under the Eight Banners. Only some wild Jurchens were scattered in the vast cold forests of the East China Sea - they would later be robbed or recruited one after another and join the Eight Banners. For example, the Qianlong Dynasty's
The famous general Hai Lancha was born into the Sauron tribe of the wild Jurchen tribe.
So what are the specific manifestations of Nurhachi's integration methods? In order to appease the Yehe tribe, Nurhachi treated Burhanggu, the younger brother of Buyangu, the western Yehebele, and Dergel, the son of Jintaiji, the eastern Yehebele.
At that time, in addition to Beile Nurhaci, the ten rulers of the Later Jin Dynasty were Daishan, the leader of the two red flags of Aixinjueluo, Amin, the leader of the inlaid blue flag, Mang Gurtai, the leader of the Zhenglan flag, Huang Taiji, the leader of the Zhengbai flag, and De
Gelei, Azige, Dudu, the leader of the white flag, and then there are Burhanggu and Derger of the Yehe tribe.
Of course, this arrangement was only seen in the Five-Ministry Alliance of Inner Khalkha between the Later Jin Dynasty and Mongolia. The purpose was to show Mongolia that Nurhachi was accommodating. However, in fact, Burhanggu and Derger soon lost their title of ruling Baylor.
, not even Baylor can be mentioned.
Therefore, Nurhaci's display of capacity to accommodate people is nothing more than a temporary measure. His fundamental purpose has always been monopoly-style integration, and such integration relies more on strength than on system, let alone personality charm or political ideals.
Gao Pragmatic can evaluate him as "just okay" only because he has achieved success in history. However, compared with the significance and height of the Gutian Conference, the two are indistinguishable.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic himself could not bring about a Gutian Conference. The highest goal of military reform he could achieve in his life was to turn a feudal army into a modern army, and he did not dare to think about anything further.
Seeing Gao Pingshi deep in thought, Gao Wuzheng and Gao Wuruo looked at each other, thinking that they had stopped their invincible brother from questioning him, fearing that he would become angry without the steps, so they panicked for a moment.
I just hate myself for talking too much.
Unexpectedly, at this moment Gao Pragmatic suddenly came back to his senses and sighed: "What you said is not unreasonable. At this time and at that time, my worries about the Jurchens may indeed be too much."
Gao Wuzheng and Gao Wuruo breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that their backs were soaked with cold sweat. Gao Wuzheng said quickly: "Brother, you are serious. It is precisely because you deal with everything with the most complete plan that you can do this."
All battles are invincible and all attacks are invincible... It's all my little brother Meng Lang, and I know I was wrong."
Gao Wuruo also hurriedly said: "Brother, why do you want me to behave like this? Li Zhi said, 'Zhuge is only cautious in his life, but Lu Duan is not confused in important matters.'" Over the years, you have often taught me and others to be cautious in everything, but it is a pity that we are stupid.
, you can’t even do ‘big things without being confused’, so you just need to wake up more.”
The reaction of the two of them made Gao Pragmatic a little alarmed. It seems that although he is not particularly strict on weekdays, he may have been mythized in the eyes of people around him, so that even if he admits his mistakes, others will find it difficult to accept them.
It's like being pragmatic is definitely not wrong. If they feel that being pragmatic is wrong, they will reflect on themselves and think that it must be their own problem, and it cannot be the problem of being pragmatic.
I have just been granted the title of Marquis, and yet I have already become such a myth. If there is another "progress" in the future, wouldn't it mean that no one around me would dare to dissuade me?
Thinking of this, Gao Pingshi suddenly understood the meaning of the so-called "lonely person", and somehow felt a little depressed, and even lost interest in continuing the conversation.
When Gao Wuzheng and Gao Wuruo saw that their brother was silent, they were even more upset and quickly motioned to Gao Qi for help. Gao Qi was the son of Gao Wuben, the fifth member of the Gao family, and he was a nephew in front of the three of them. If he came to smooth things over,
Being pragmatic and always giving your cousin some face will make it easier to talk things over.
Gao Qi coughed lightly and was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps outside. He subconsciously stopped talking. Sure enough, a report came from outside: "Master, Mr. Liu has sent a message, saying that the whereabouts of the Japanese pirate army going south have been found out and they are requesting to send troops."
!”
Gao Jingshi was silent for a moment and ordered: "Bring it in." If Liu Wei wanted to send troops, he would not just send a verbal message, he would have to write a personal letter, so Gao Jingshi asked his servant to send it in.
After reading Liu Wei's autographed letter, Gao Pingshi smoothly conveyed the news he mentioned to his three secretaries, saying: "Liu Wei said that he had contacted Li Rumei and learned that the main force of the Japanese army going south had been attacked by Li Rumei along the way.
Dozens of small and medium-scale harassment and sneak attacks, although the loss of soldiers was only about a thousand, the whole army was still exhausted, so he planned to go north to meet the enemy near Sanjia. What do you think about this? "
