1451, Defend the enemy outside the country's gates
Li Biao winked at Li Banghua and asked him to speak. If he didn't speak, Lao Hahe would retreat.
Li Banghua is in a dilemma. In fact, he is somewhat retreating now. Previously, he supported the deployment of defenses along the river with conditions. That is, after both Jiannu and Chahar were defeated, they would have at least two years to strengthen the castle.
After the castle is repaired, 150,000 troops will gather on the front lines of Chifeng, Kailu, and Tongliao to form a deep system. By then, it will be the same as the Guan-Ningjin line of defense, and it will be difficult to build slaves.
But now, the castle is only rammed earth, and there is no time to cover it with bricks. It takes time to bake the bricks. The army is now gathered in the Yuanbaoshan area. They will wait until the castle is repaired before moving in.
But now, the plan can't keep up with the changes. Huang Taiji acted out of common sense and caught everyone off guard. Huang Taiji is not stupid, he just wants to hit you at this critical moment and make your castle plan go bankrupt.
Now there are two choices, either to send out a hundred thousand troops to rescue Chifeng City.
Either retreat to Chifeng and the defenders of the castles along the river and wait for work in Yuanbaoshan, and actively choose the battlefield for a decisive battle.
Of course, we can't withdraw 50,000 people now. At least the 5,000 people in Pinghu Fort are definitely finished.
Up to now, Pinghu Fort has been fighting for seven days, and there has been no news of its fall. This really surprised everyone. The Ma family did not expect that there would be such a capable general.
Ma Xi was never well-known. We only knew that he was the leader of Ma Dengyun's personal soldiers.
Ma Xi brought the servants of the Ma family with him. He must be able to fight. What else would he do if he didn't support the servants?
It is impossible to rescue Pinghu Fort, and it is impossible to rescue it in this life. Because it is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Now it depends on whether the decisive battle will be in Chifeng or Yuanbaoshan.
Li Banghua intuitively felt that Sun Chengzong was right. Yuanbao Mountain has entered the valley exit of the Yanshan Mountains, and the terrain is complex. It can offset the pressure of Jiannu's cavalry to a great extent. Chifeng is a vast prairie.
It's not a good idea for infantry to resist cavalry there without having a numerical advantage.
But is this just a military issue? Li Banghua glanced at the anxious Li Biao and Qian Longxi.
He knows better than anyone the huge interests and numerous groups involved behind this.
Now looking at the biggest white glove they have supported, Yuandudu has revealed his ambition to be independent. They are not so easy to control. If he succeeds in forming a complete alliance with the eight major merchant groups of Shanxi merchants, he will have Guan Ning in his hand.
The iron cavalry monopolizes trade with Liaodong. No one can control him.
He has 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers, 10 ordinary infantry, and is an army composed of locals from Liaodong. Yuandudu allocated farmland to them and basically completed localization. At this time, no one can easily touch him.
To a certain extent, he has greater control over the army than Yue Fei.
After Yue Fei was falsely accused and imprisoned, his subordinates may have been forced by the court, or they may have taken the initiative. They wrote letters one after another to expose Yue Fei's preparations for rebellion. There were almost no exceptions for Yue Fei's subordinates, who all gave false testimony and led Yue Fei to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan.
force.
Yue Fei's case has a complete chain of evidence, with both witnesses and material evidence. The legal procedures are followed completely. There are no problems. The only problem is that these are all fake and forged, and hundreds of people collectively committed perjury. Otherwise,
How can a hero of this level just do it with just a few words?
After Yue Fei was executed, his family members were exiled to Lingnan. These generals collectively submitted a letter, believing that the sentence was too light and it would be better for the whole family to be executed. They were afraid that the descendants of the Yue family would rise again and suffer retaliation. After being rejected by the court, they privately bribed Qin Hui. Let Qin Hui
They took action and deprived Yue Fei's family of food on the road, starving them to death.
The extent of their deeds made Qin Hui unbearable and flatly rejected their request.
It can be seen that Yue Fei's Yue Family Army is really not a private army, it is the country's army.
Once he was put in jail, the walls would be thrown down and everyone would push him away.
Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army is comparable to Big Tou Ge's small station for military training. The officers and soldiers cultivate the fields assigned by him and receive the military pay he gives. This money is not only issued by the court, but also probably by himself.
Got it by light method.
After he was captured, Zu Dashou did not abandon the emperor and returned to Liaodong with his troops. In this regard, he was much stronger than Yue Fei. If Yue Fei's soldiers followed him as his parents, Song Gaozong and Qin Hui would never dare to attack him.
.
After Yuan Chonghuan was killed, Chongzhen could no longer mobilize Guan Ningjun. Apart from the fact that Guan Ningjun didn't rebel on the surface, he just fooled him if he could. He still had to support these uncles with a million taels a year without giving him any money.
I was also afraid that they would vote for Huang Tai Chi.
After that, Jiannu entered the Pass five more times, and Guan Ningjun all acquiesced.
If Guan Ning's army did not acquiesce, the Qing army would not dare to take the long way into the Great Wall. Once Guan Ning's army raided Liaoshen, they would be in trouble. If the Qing army dared to do this, it was determined that Guan Ning's army would not attack.
Go south confidently and boldly.
Therefore, it is a joke that the Qing army detoured southward through Mongolia six times in history.
Originally, the two armies were facing each other on the Jinzhou front line, but they actually sent the main army to bypass Mongolia and go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. There was no precedent for this in the past dynasties.
Nothing happened before that he came out of the Chongzhen Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, it was Guan Ning's army who let the Qing army enter the pass. They just didn't leave their defense area. They and the eight major business groups made a fortune by selling stolen goods for the Qing army's robbery.
Whether the Qing army dares to go south or not, the key lies with them. They have the strength to make the Qing army afraid.
This can be seen from the fact that Dorgon led the Qing army to prepare to enter the Pass again in 1644. At that time, they did not know that Li Zicheng had occupied the imperial capital and Chongzhen had hanged himself. They only found out when they arrived outside Shanhaiguan.
This time they planned to try Shanhaiguan. Because the opportunity was not to be missed, the fastest way to enter the customs was through Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui personally went to Dorgon to talk about borrowing troops to destroy the bandits. The condition Wu Sangui proposed at that time was to divide the river and rule it. The north of the river would be given to the Qing Dynasty, and the south of the Yangtze River would be given to the Ming Dynasty. This was more favorable than the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty with the Huaihe River as the boundary. However, the Qing Dynasty later turned its back.
He refused to admit it. This was one of the reasons why Wu Sangui later rebelled.
At that time, Dorgon was very cunning and careful. He was worried that this was a trap set by Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui. After all, Wu Sangui had surrendered to Li Zicheng before. Who knows if they were playing a double act.
He would only sneer and sneer at the idea of being angry for a beauty.
I believe in your big-headed ghost.
Although he also raised a son for a widow and became a stepfather for a cheap son, he didn't believe Wu Sangui's nonsense.
Of course, with Prince Rui’s ability, he was not good enough to be a stepfather. In the end, he cut his leg while hunting, and he died with some medicine. After his death, his grave was dug up by his son. There were many regents and royal fathers at that time.
As beautiful as Ergon was, it was miserable at this time.
This tells us a truth. If you want to marry a woman with children, you must first evaluate yourself to see how your own abilities compare to Dorgon. No matter how heroic Dorgon is, he has ended up like this. Ask yourself, if you didn’t have Dorgon’s ability, what would you do?
It’s better not to find such a difficult challenge for yourself.
