1452, Defend the enemy outside the country's gate 2
If the Qing Dynasty were to send out troops rashly and be overrun by Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry and Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, the Qing Dynasty would be finished.
It can be seen that Guan Ningjun's strength is actually very strong.
If Guan Ning's army was dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and fought against the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly, there would be no such thing as the Qing army detouring through Mongolia six times to enter the pass. There would be no situation where the rogue bandits and the Qing army cooperated and supported each other. Every time
If the rogue bandits were to be wiped out, the Qing army would inevitably enter the Pass in large numbers.
After the Qing army was defeated, the rogue bandits started a prairie fire again. This was how the Ming Dynasty was consumed. This was also a good thing done by Guan Ningjun. They were directly responsible.
From this perspective, Chongzhen's killing of Yuan Chonghuan was out of consideration.
A disobedient army would be better off than not having one at all. It would be a threat to the emperor.
Chongzhen needed to deal with the entire Guan Ning Army instead of killing Yuan Chonghuan. Killing Yuan Chonghuan would make this kind of private army extremely difficult to deal with.
He also had no money. Soldiers would sacrifice their lives for whoever received their food and salary. This was an eternal truth. His ability to make money was not as good as Yuan Chonghuan's.
Killing is a pleasure, but what to do next?
When I was dealing with Wei Zhongxian, I could be so patient and wait for the right opportunity to kill him with one strike. How come I was able to sit on the throne but it was useless.
There are still many ways to deal with this kind of elite army that has a base and has taken root in the country. Chongzhen's problem is that he acted too hastily. In his whole life, except for defeating Wei Zhongxian, which was remarkable, he did everything too hastily.
Had he not been eager to take over Liaodong and misplaced Yuan Chonghuan, what would have happened later.
He spent a lifetime on this mistake, but still could not solve it. It is true that the iron of all nine states cannot make this big mistake, and one mistake will lead to eternal regret.
He made too many mistakes in his life, and played his good cards to pieces. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were many famous generals, and loyal ministers and wise men were like crucian carp crossing the river. If Emperor Taizu were replaced, even if it was Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji would definitely
This is not the ending.
Even Emperor Chenghua was not like this. At least Emperor Chenghua could recognize and employ people.
Dorgon fully agreed to Wu Sangui at that time, but just stood still and let Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng fight fiercely. Wu Sangui kept asking for help. Even though Dorgon could see that Wu Sangui was sincerely cooperating, he did not send troops until Guan Ning's army was completely defeated.
Dorgon doesn't trust anyone. What he trusts is that you didn't plot against him.
It was only then that he was sure that Guan Ning's army had lost the strength to attack him from behind, and then the whole army pressed forward and made a desperate move.
Dorgon was a person who never made bets easily, but once he made a bet, he dared to risk all his wealth. As a result, he won a huge future for his tribe.
The success of the Qing Dynasty was due to the combination of a queen mother, a regent, and a young emperor at the founding of the country. The key was Dorgon's ability.
When the Qing Dynasty fell, there was also a combination of a queen mother, a regent, and a young emperor. But these three were tied together, and they were not worth a toe of Dorgon.
Historical coincidences are often stranger than any drama.
It seems that Wu Sangui was lucky. When the whole army collapsed and was defeated like a mountain, a strong wind suddenly blew.
For a time, the sky was filled with dust, and nothing could be seen in the sandstorm. He easily escaped with his defeated troops. At this moment, the Eight Banners army suddenly rushed out of the sand. One hundred thousand troops defeated Li Zicheng in one battle.
Li Banghua hesitated for a long time and said: "My suggestion is to keep the enemy outside the country's gates."
As soon as this statement came out, Li Biao and Qian Longxi were overjoyed. Li Banghua was the Minister of War, and his speech had great influence.
Sun Chengzong sighed and remained speechless.
Today's Donglin is no longer the Donglin of his generation. Now the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. At that moment, he seemed to be a lot more desolate and older.
"Your Majesty, ministers, a small Pinghu Fort can still withstand the Jiannu army for seven days, and it has not been breached until now. It can be seen that Jiannu's ability is mainly in field battles, and siege is not their strong point. Just like Yuan
The commander-in-chief is the same as in Liaodong. Use cannons to fortify the city and wear them down. If they cannot defeat them, they will naturally retreat."
This is true, this is how Yuan Chonghuan fought in Jinzhou and Ningyuan.
The Guan Ning Jin Defense Line is impregnable. It has been decades since Sun Chengzong took charge of its construction, and Jian Nu has been blocked by force. Regardless of whether this statement is correct or not, at least it is the truth. For a while, Chongzhen was also a little shaken.
After all, he now has 150,000 troops in the capital, and he is still an elite soldier who has been brought to the battlefield by Yang Fan personally. He was also sorted out by Sun Chengzong and reorganized. This eliminated the possibility of becoming a warlord, while retaining
increased grassroots combat effectiveness.
Officers at the mid-level and above were still selected by Chongzhen himself. Senior officers were all distinguished. Now the Beijing camp is completely in the hands of the emperor.
Soldiers are the courage of generals and the courage of emperors.
Now his confidence has grown. Even without Yang Fan, he is confident that he can handle everything. No matter how powerful Jiannu is, can he still be worthy of two Mongolians?
Because of the presence of the Beijing camp, Chifeng's army was not his only asset, so he dared to take risks. If he only had one army, he would most likely listen to Sun Chengzong.
Moreover, Yang Fan is similar in age to him, not a few years older than him. He always feels in his heart that you can do it and I can do it too.
Yang Fan's series of previous victories actually made him feel a little unhappy. Probably because of jealousy towards his peers.
He always wanted to prove that he knew the military, and he always jumped over the level and gave blind orders. In the original history, many times in the history, he failed to achieve success against the peasant army, which was all caused by him jumping over the level and giving blind orders.
"My suggestion is to use the existing forts to gradually consume the slaves. Therefore, not only the garrison of the forts cannot retreat, but also more troops should be added to the castles outside Chifeng. While Pinghu Fort has not fallen, we must step up
Deployment, with Chifeng as the center, and 50,000 additional troops in the surrounding forts. The remaining 50,000 troops will be lurking in preparation. Wait until the Jiannu army is exhausted in the battle, and then make a sudden attack. The Jiannu army will be defeated.
." Li Banghua said plausibly.
He had no choice but to choose the decisive battle in Chifeng instead of going to Yuanbaoshan to choose the battlefield.
Chongzhen was immediately tempted. What Li Banghua said was reasonable and well-founded. This was how the Ningjin victory was won. It made no sense to move to Chifeng because there was a precedent. Therefore, Chongzhen was immediately tempted.
"Master Sun, what do you think?" Chongzhen turned to Sun Chengzong and asked.
"I am old, and my energy and brain power are not what they used to be. Let the Ministry of War make the final decision on frontline matters. I have no objection. I would like to ask your majesty to send the veteran to Tongzhou to coordinate the capital camp to defend the capital."
Li Biao and Qian Longxi looked at each other and it was done.
They also believed that Chifeng and the surrounding small fortresses could be enough to consume Jiannu. After all, a hundred thousand people defending the city were not that easy to fight.
