1049 Signs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty
When Eziertu heard this, he was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Uncle Khan, can you pacify Qinghai-Tibet soon?"
Gushikhan's ability is obvious to all. Although it cannot be said that he is invincible in the battle, his ability to lead troops to fight is indeed very strong. Therefore, he firmly occupies the position of leader of Weila Mongols, and the Lama is named "Great National Master", and the northern Mongolia dare not attack again.
But what Eziertu did not expect was that Gushihan shook his head and said, "I cannot take away all the elites of the tribe when I go to Qinghai-Tibet. The situation in Qinghai-Tibet is complicated and the terrain is even more complicated. I am not sure how the war will end and how long it will take to complete it."
"Then..." Eziertu couldn't understand after hearing this. Since that's the case, why did you say that just now?
Gu Shihan seemed to know his inner thoughts and said with a smile: "What I mean is the Ming Empire! The Ming Emperor can let you learn the new military law and provide you with important military and national weapons. If there is anything, if you ask the Ming Emperor, you will definitely make the decision for you, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Eqiertu couldn't help but realize it. He remembered that after he arrived in the capital, he was kindly received by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and allowed him to train with the new army to teach him all the methods of training in the army one by one. Even the newly built military and national weapons were the first to sell them to him...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to pat his thighs and thought to himself: Yes! He was confused for a moment, why did he forget the Emperor of Ming Dynasty? He is younger than him. If he has the Emperor of Ming Dynasty as his backer in this life, even if Uncle Khan really can't come back, there is no problem!
Seeing his happy expression, Gu Shihan sighed slightly in his heart. Although he could find Mingguo as the backstage, if Mingguo made any request, Heshuo Special Forces would not allow him to refuse.
But if you don’t treat the Ming Kingdom as the backstage, there will be difficulties, and many problems cannot be solved. Wei Lat Mongolia has so much strength. The Ming Kingdom is strong, so naturally there is only one who can surrender. Otherwise, if you become enemies with the Ming Kingdom, Wei Lat Mongolia may be under the siege of Tsarist Russia, the northern Mongolia and the Ming Kingdom.
Although he thought so in his heart, Gushi Khan would not tell Eziertu. Then he began to arrange the expedition. He ordered the rest of the tribes of the Urat Mongolia to hold a meeting and each of them would send troops, especially the Junggar tribe, which had more quotas for the troops. After all this was arranged, he handed over the Khan position and then led the army away.
One thing he did not expect was that the northern Mongolian, namely the Khalkha tribe, soon learned about Gushikhan's troops. These two major tribes were originally feudal, but later they fought to the death due to religious beliefs. Before Gushikhan, the northern Mongolia was dominant. It was only after Gushikhan was suppressed after his birth that he maintained peace for many years.
Now, Gushihan, who was afraid of them, has left, and they have also guessed that Gushihan sent troops to Qinghai-Tibet, probably to do what he did, and immediately had various ideas.
Before we knew it, a storm on the grassland was brewing.
Although Emperor Chongzhen had a chat group about the matter on the grassland, the news was lagging behind because the people from these two major tribes were not added. However, even if he knew, he would not care much at this time. Because his attention had been diverted by other things.
Since Zheng Zhilong reported to the war in Japan last time, Emperor Chongzhen asked the commander of the Jinyiwei Liu Xingzuo to arrange an Jinyiwei to Japan, named Liang Zhen, and was also in the chat group. Now, news has just been sent back.
"Your Majesty, in the war in Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate sent an army to attack and was unexpectedly defeated. Now most of the Kyushu Oshima has been occupied by Toyotomi Kyushu. The Tokugawa Shogunate issued a strict order and is gathering troops and preparing to send them to Kyushu to suppress them again."
Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised and replied, "Didn't the Tokugawa shogunate already know that there were 1,000 Qing Dynasty fighting for Toyotomi Kōtsuka? Didn't the troops sent this time be defeated by the Qing Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty, according to the information found by his subordinates, the Tokugawa Shogunate was already prepared. At the beginning of the war, it was indeed because of its defense. When the Qing army raided, it was surrounded by three times the strength of the Tokugawa Shogunate's army, and it did not destroy the Tokugawa Shogunate's military formation!"
Liang Zhen did not dare to keep half of it and said half of it, and immediately continued: "But just when the two armies were in a stalemate, another army suddenly came out behind the Tokugawa Shogunate army. Because of the large number and the huge momentum, the Tokugawa Shogunate army suddenly collapsed!"
"This army is actually the Japanese people on Kyushu Island. They believe in the Western sect and were suppressed by the Tokugawa Shogunate army. They colluded with Tokugawa Komatsu at some time and suddenly killed the Tokugawa Shogunate army and suffered a great defeat!"
In the original history, as the Portuguese and Spaniards arrived in Japan one after another, Catholicism began to spread in Japan. By the 1680s, the number of churches reached more than 200 and the number of churches was about 150,000, which made the Tokugawa shogunate feel pressure.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was very dissatisfied with the Catholic Church's promotion of God's omnipotence and thus undermining the authority of secular lords. Later, many Kyushu princes obtained a large number of supplies and weapons through trade with Western, Portuguese and other countries. In addition, there was a lobbying from Protestantism, namely Britain and the Netherlands. He believed that if he allowed it to develop without restrictions, it would shake the foundation of the shogunate's rule. It happened that at this time, the famous "Okamoto Daiyasu Incident" occurred, so Tokugawa Ieyasu issued a ban to suppress the Catholic Church.
Therefore, in 1637, a large-scale Shimahara Rebellion broke out in Kyushu. The Catholic army had about 30,000. The Tokugawa Shogunate failed to suppress the two consecutive suppressions. Later, more than 100,000 troops were dispatched to suppress the Shimahara Rebellion.
Due to the butterfly effect, the Qing Dynasty was involved in Japan, and Toyotomi Kyotomi Kyotomi began the battle to restore the country. The Catholic army of the Shimahara Rebellion was able to appear in advance and formed an alliance with Toyotomi Kyotomi Kyotomi. The fact that the Tokugawa shogunate had almost formed a policy of closing the country in history was delayed due to the war on Kyushu Island. Now, Japan has entered the era of war again.
After seeing this news, Emperor Chongzhen frowned. One thing he didn't want to see was that the Qing Dynasty and the Western Barbarians colluded with each other. But now in Japan, the Qing Dynasty and the Western Barbarians are already in the same trenches. If the Western Barbarians in the Catholic army see the strength of the Qing Dynasty and strongly support them in exchange for the Qing Dynasty's belief in Catholicism, it is likely to bring great resistance to the elimination of the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen understood that the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves is not so easy to play. One is not good. Although there is no wolf, it will grow stronger. This will cause more trouble to kill tigers in the future.
Thinking of this, he asked Liang Zhen: "How strong is the Tokugawa Shogunate? What news is there to spread about the war on Kyushu Island?"
Liang Zhen was a little stunned when he saw this question, but then he understood what the emperor wanted to know, so he immediately replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, the strength of the Tokugawa Shogunate should not be underestimated. Although the Kyushu War was defeated, it did not hurt the fundamentals. Now he is mobilizing a new daimyo and preparing to go to Kyushu Island again. At least on Edo, most people do not think that Tokugawa Komatsu can turn the tables. They are just worried that the Qing Dynasty will increase its troops to help Tokugawa Komatsu. Therefore, the Tokugawa Komatsu has decided to send a navy to patrol the Korean Strait and cut off the possibility of the Qing Dynasty's reinforcements to Tokugawa Komatsu."
Seeing this news, Emperor Chongzhen agreed in his heart that if the Qing Dynasty continued to increase its troops to Japan, the Tokugawa Shogunate would be in trouble. However, the Korean Strait was very large, and the navy of the Tokugawa Shogunate had no Kyushu site. It would be impossible to completely separate the connection between North Korea and Kyushu Island. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty's reinforcements, the Qing Dynasty just wanted to obtain food and other supplies from Kyushu Island, which would inevitably cause the Qing generals on Kyushu Island to request the opening of the Korean Strait.
At present, he will be much behind in understanding Japan's intelligence and cannot grasp the core secrets. After all, Liang Zhen is just staying in Edo to inquire about the news. Although there are channels left by Zheng Zhilong, the information he may have been found is really limited. It seems that the situation in Japan still needs to be paid attention to and predicted.
Thinking of this, he was about to contact Liaodong to discuss matters about Japan, Wu Daji, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly sent a private chat: "Your Majesty, I have returned to Seoul. Along the way, I found that the Qing Dynasty was vigorously farming. Especially near Seoul, the water conservancy facilities were much better than before. The slave chief Dorgon ordered the officials to be responsible for a specific area of farmland, and even inspected them personally every once in a while, severe punishment was given to officials who did not do their best, and those officials who did their best would immediately give rewards. According to Weichen, after the grain harvest this year, the Qing Dynasty, at least these Qing Dynasty in North Korea, will not have any worries about food."
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked. He had always lacked control over Dorgon, North Korea. His focus was on the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong. Although he had already estimated, he still did not expect that Dorgon would attach so much importance to agriculture. However, it seems nothing strange to think about this matter. After all, whether it is Liaodong or North Korea, all the places occupied by the Qing Dynasty were affected by food, which seriously restricted the strength of the Qing Dynasty. A slave chief with a little knowledge would definitely seriously solve the food problem.
Emperor Chongzhen knew very clearly not only about North Korea, but also about Liaodong. To the north of Shenyang, the grain fields that the Qing Dynasty reclaimed last year were growing grain again this year. Without the Korqin people as an internal force, it was unrealistic to send troops to bypass Liaoyang, Shenyang and other places to carry out damage.
Thinking of the few messages I just received, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the time to solve the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong must be advanced, otherwise, once North Korea's food is harvested, it will cause some trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he immediately convened a joint meeting of the Ming Dynasty, brought Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Huachun, Wen Tiren, Liu Xingzuo, Hong Chengchou and other agents into the temporary group, announced the latest information, and finally said: "What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Master Cao is asking for an order, and he is willing to lead the new army to conquer Liaoyang, conquer Shenyang, and destroy the Qing Dynasty." Gao Yingyuan, on behalf of Cao Bianjiao, responded first.
Wei Mulan said almost at the same time: "Lu Zhongcheng thought that the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong was already weak, and it was time to recover Liaodong. On the other side of North Korea, Pidao was to be repurposed, and the navy kept attacking, harassing the Qing Dynasty in North Korea and destroying the grain fields."
The only one of them was the first reply, and the others didn't say anything. When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he asked Liu Wangshi: "How are the materials reserves on Sun Qing?"
On the battlefield of Liaodong, the military was mainly led by General Lu Xiangsheng, while the logistics was unified by Sun Chengzong. The two of them, one on the front line and the other on the Ningjin line in the rear. Of course, the Liaodong materials were hoarded at this time, and they were transported too far on the Ningjin line. They had been transported directly to Gaizhou for storage, and some of them had even been transported to Haizhou.
Sun Chengzong was named and immediately reported the details of the stockpiling of materials. After nearly a year of preparation, a batch of food was recently robbed from the Qing Dynasty, and the materials were abundant.
After Emperor Chongzhen learned the details, he announced in the temporary group: "I decided to personally conquer Liaodong at the beginning of next month and recover Liaodong in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren hurriedly replied: "Now that the battlefield in Liaodong is Sun Ge Lao and Lu Zhongcheng are there, it is not difficult to recover Liaodong. If Your Majesty personally commanded the expedition, if it is not going well, it will be for my Ming Dynasty and your Majesty's reputation..."
Without listening, I knew that the chief minister still wanted to advise. Emperor Chongzhen immediately interrupted: "Does Wen Qing want me to be a emperor who has no faith?"
"I don't dare!" Wen Tiren replied immediately as soon as he saw it, "I am just worried. After all, Your Majesty is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and he will touch his whole body..."
"Enough!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and interrupted directly, "I have decided. What Wen Qing wants to do is to check for my omissions and make up for me, do my best to recover Liaodong, and not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"
Wen Tiren sighed in his heart when he saw this. Knowing that the nine cows could not pull the emperor back, he had to reply: "I obey the order!"
He was the least willing to see Emperor Chongzhen’s surprise, because his position as the chief minister was promoted by Emperor Chongzhen’s special order. Without the support of the emperor, so many innovations he made would inevitably attract counterattacks from those who lost their interests. Not to mention anything else, just being ordered by the emperor to return to Jiangnan Zhou Yanru, he would probably make efforts to replace his position. Previous news said that Zhou Yanru was very close to Fushe in Jiangnan, and very close to the big salt merchants there. He had financial resources and had a basis for connections, so he should not be underestimated.
Seeing that Wen Tiren no longer objected, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "This battle cannot give Liaodong Manchu Qing any chance, so I decided to destroy Liaodong Manchu Qing with a thunderous blow!"
