Chapter 182: The Dilemma of Jianshou, Mashi
Liaochen and Jianzhou's old nests obviously became the two weaknesses of the Later Jin Dynasty, or two must-have places.
At least from the moment, the Later Jin Dynasty had no intention of giving up any of the plans. It was precisely because of this that the Ming army was quite correct in focusing on these two places to write articles.
The military books contain the saying "It is necessary to rescue the enemy when attacking the enemy." The Ming army wanted to separate Jiannu and form a local advantage in the military force and gradually consume it.
The advancement of western Liaoning, the stability of southern Liaoning, and the re-occupation of Zhenjiang Fort in the Dongjiang headquarters formed three major constraints, making it difficult for Jiannu to concentrate all his troops to carry out operations.
If the great strategy arranged by all parties is included in the very weak North Korean army, it should have been formed and is very stable.
However, the fall of the Korqin tribe actually destroyed the northern buffer and barrier of the Later Jin Dynasty. Not only did the Mongolian tribes that were hostile to the Later Jin Dynasty, the Ming army would not miss the opportunity to directly attack the Later Jin Dynasty's side.
Therefore, what is more accurate should be the arrangement of the five parties, and the strategic situation of the Later Jin Dynasty is already very bad.
Take advantage of your illness and kill you. There is nothing benevolence and righteousness between the enemy and us, but the Ming army did not continue to attack, and seemed to be waiting for something.
Of course, the Later Jin side would not know that the reasons why the Ming army was waiting in each unit were different.
The Ming army in southern Liaoning suffered heavy casualties and consumed a lot of ammunition and medicine, so they had to recover and rest;
Because of geographical relations, the Ming army in western Liaoning did not easily enter Liaoze and waited for the freezing time in winter;
The Dongjiang headquarters is waiting for equipment. The flintlock rifle has not been fully renovated, and the training of the troops that have replaced their weapons is also in full swing; there are not many artillery.
The Later Jin side felt a chance to breathe because of this, but they certainly would not have thought that the Ming army would have more equipment and stronger combat power when it launched again.
Just like a break in the boxing match, although Hou Jin was beaten to the point of a blue nose, he was still breathing heavily and staring at his eyes, trying to get the venue back.
Ming Jun was drinking water to recover his energy, preparing to beat the opponent again in the next round, or directly knock down and win.
Due to the limitation of communication speed, the achievements made by the Ming army in attacking everywhere have not been known to various departments. The re-evaluation of the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty and the focus of the next stage of combat have not been re-planned.
Only the Later Jin Dynasty was heartbroken by the failure of this chaos and began to re-formulate plans and adjust its troops to deploy troops.
Daishan's two red flags lost more than 5,000 in southern Liaoning, which was already a loss of damage. When news came from Nong'an, Er Beile Amin was not only wiped out, but even he was not spared.
In addition, the news of Liu Aita's rebellion in Fuzhou confirmed that it gave Nurhaci a heavy psychological blow.
The sons and nephews were seriously injured or killed, and the men and horses were seriously injured. The most trusted son-in-law rebelled and returned to the Ming Dynasty. The enemies from all directions were eyeing each other, and the people in the ruling area were in chaos and rebellion continued.
Such a bad situation made the old slave feel bad and angry. The officials and generals below were also worried, for fear of making some mistakes and being angry.
"It's broken, it's broken!" Li Yongfang got the information he had just sent back, and just looked at the "Ming Ming Forum" and his face changed drastically, and his hands trembled.
For the sake of loyalty and reliability, I sent all my son-in-law out and lurked in the Ming Dynasty. But something happened, which was a bit difficult to argue.
If Wu Changchun was killed by the Ming court, Li Yongfang would not be afraid. Even if he was cut into pieces, he would show his loyalty.
But the Ming court did not kill him and even gave Wu Changchun an official position. Wu Changchun, a bastard, really looked like he woke up and published an article in the newspaper to scold himself.
It's terrible to think about it carefully! It's not serious if you persuade yourself to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but it's easy to make people suspicious if you scold me. Isn't it a suspect that your father-in-law is white?
Li Yongfang rubbed his eyes, looked at the newspaper carefully again, and lamented and threw the newspaper on the table.
Nurhaci was already extremely dissatisfied with Liu Aita's rebellion and the defection of Liao people and Han officials in the ruling region.
Now that this incident happened again, Li Yongfang dared not think about how much Nurhaci's suspicion would accumulate? It is unlikely to kill him, but it should not be an accident.
After deducting the newspaper, this idea flashed in Li Yongfang's mind and was completely denied by him.
If you can hide it for a while, but it can't be hidden for a long time, will the leak prove that you have a ghost in your heart? Wouldn't you tell yourself?
After thinking about it, Li Yongfang decided to report it to Nurhaci in truth. But before reporting it, he ordered someone to invite Fan Wencheng to come.
Nurhaci's attitude towards Han officials was getting worse and worse, and Li Yongfang was neglected, let alone Fan Wencheng.
But Li Yongfang still wanted to do his last loyalty and put forward his own opinions on the current situation, and asked Fan Wencheng to discuss it.
When time was not long, Fan Wencheng rushed to meet him, his expression was depressed, and he looked like he was unsuccessful.
I feel that I have read poetry and books, I feel that I have a literary and martial arts strategy, and I feel that I can be valued in the Later Jin Dynasty. After all, among a group of barbarians, I am outstanding in talent.
If you say that you are not only working hard, but you can even work hard. But you are not valued. You are just a small official and are discriminated against and sometimes even insulted by the Jurchens.
But Fan Wencheng's endurance and shamelessness are famous in history. Even his wife was occupied by Mangourtai and he dared not fart.
"I have met Mr. Ei Fu." Fan Wencheng went into the house and respectfully bowed to Li Yongfang.
Li Yongfang nodded, reached out and gave in, and said, "Wencheng, don't be too polite, sit down and talk."
After Fan Wencheng sat down, he took the newspaper "Da Ming Forum" handed over by Li Yongfang. He just glanced at it and then looked at it and frowned.
After a while, Fan Wencheng put down the newspaper and said in a deep voice: "This is the Ming court's conspiracy against the Lord."
Li Yongfang smiled bitterly and said, "I know, but so what? If this trick had not hurt a hair in someone before, but now--"
Fan Wencheng naturally knew that the situation had changed drastically, and Nurhaci was angry. This prosecutor was like adding fuel to the fire. Li Yongfang's prospects were not good.
"Let's put aside this for the time being." Li Yongfang was helpless, waved his hand and said, "You know the current situation if you don't tell me. After being defeated, the military strength will be greatly damaged. You can no longer distribute the deployment of troops."
Fan Wencheng agreed and said slowly: "It is a good plan to shrink to Liaoshen, but in Jianzhou, King Khan probably won't give up either."
Li Yongfang pondered and said, "There are two banners in Jianzhou, so it should be safe. Liaoshen gathers six banners, and the Ming army may not dare to invade easily. If they can survive for a year or two, the situation may change."
It turned out that it was a desire to retreat and wait for change, but this coincided with myself.
Fan Wencheng gently bowed his head and bowed his hands, "The prince's plan is very good. In terms of strength, the Jin Dynasty is indeed far from the Ming Dynasty. To put it pessimistic, if the Ming Dynasty did not have a deep accumulation of problems, the king was stupid and ministers, the court struggled endlessly, and the general was exhausted, and the soldiers were exhausted, the early victory would not be achieved."
After pausing, Fan Wencheng added: "Temporary contraction and waiting for changes are the tricks to deal with the Ming Dynasty. How can the accumulated ills be changed in a short period of time? How can the monarchy, the official, and the private ones be changed every day? Whenever the situation in Liaodong is stable or there is a chance of victory, the Ming court will inevitably have party disputes, and this unchanging rule."
Li Yongfang smiled and nodded, saying, "Wencheng is willing to speak to King Khan with someone?"
Fan Wencheng shook his head unexpectedly and said, "I don't agree with the advice of the prince."
"Why is this?" Li Yongfang was a little surprised and looked at Fan Wencheng with some displeasure.
Fan Wencheng was not panicked and said slowly: "At this time, the advice of the Em-sun and the Hu-yeon will be counterproductive. If it is said by others, the Khan can be obedient."
Li Yongfang stroked his beard and pondered, and understood Fan Wencheng's meaning. Nurhaci was extremely suspicious of the Han officials, and he could not listen to the correct opinions, which would arouse rebellious mentality.
"The most suitable person nowadays praises me. Bei Zhi thinks that he must be the Four Beile." Fan Wencheng did not hide it and directly spoke out the candidate in his heart.
Li Yongfang thought about it and agreed.
It is not difficult to guess that Dai Shan, the four major benefactors in the Later Jin Dynasty, had not healed seriously, and Mangguertai became half a useless man. Amin probably died, leaving only Huang Taiji.
Li Yongfang and Fan Wencheng didn't know that Huang Taiji was defeated at Zhenjiang Fort, and Huang Taiji really didn't want to publicize this matter, but Nurhaci still knew it.
Are you a traitor? It’s right! Although the four major belles are quite harmonious on the surface, who doesn’t covet the Khan position in secret?
Let’s talk about Daishan. Although he was abolished, he had the strongest power, his highest prestige, and his oldest age. He was the only prince born to Nurhaci’s first concubine (his brother Chu Ying is dead). He was the most likely to inherit his father’s throne and ascend the throne as Khan.
There is no need to think about Manguertai. He has no flag of people in his hand, and he is like a useless person.
Amin is finished. Although he has not seen his body, it is no different from death.
In this way, it is a competition between Daishan and Huang Taiji. There must be those who tend to Daishan in the Zhengbai Banner. The secret disclosure of Huang Taiji may be caused by Daishan, or they may be selling good things to Daishan.
No matter what the inside story is, Nurhaci learned about this through Dai Shan.
"This is a trick of the Ming court. I want to get rid of my father and son?" Nurhaci thought about it and responded, sneering at it.
But when Nurhaci was the only one left in the house, his face became gloomy and he fell into long thoughts.
……………………
Guangning, Tuanshan Fort.
A long mattress was built on the open space five or six miles away outside the fort. The mattress was separated from the middle by a horse, leaving only a narrow path to walk. The Mongolians were the ones in the north, and the Han Shangs were the ones in the south.
The goods from the Han merchants have been placed in the mat sheds, including silk, cotton cloth, iron pots, tea, spices, etc., and there are quite a lot of varieties.
As the Chinese Chamber of Commerce that monopolizes northern border trade, the more horse markets the imperial court opens, the more they earn. Not to mention transporting goods from thousands of miles away, even if the distance is longer, merchants will also rush to it.
The goods from the Mongolians seemed relatively simple, except for cows, horses, and sheep, they were just crude blankets, felts and other items.
Those who followed the Mongols naturally also received the Han people who were sent back, as well as Hai Lanzhu, who pretended to be Han people, and others.
After the Mongolians handed over these Han people, regardless of whether they were true or false, to the Ming army here, they hurriedly occupied the mattress in the north and waited for the horse market to trade.
Opposite the mattress, there are several big signs with the rules of transactions written on them and the price of transactions. You can barter with goods, but you can exchange them for money first and then buy them.
There are people who are familiar with Mongolian and Chinese language on both sides, so they come to trade, so they can’t do without translation.
Daerhan had worked in this profession before, and he suddenly felt a lot of emotion when he looked at the bustling market.
"June, can we go to the market to buy things?" Daerhan looked at the leather jacket on his body and bowed to the Ming army soldier next to him and asked.
The Ming army soldier was quite kind and said, "When you issue a license plate, you can go to the market. Then you will gather at the fort gate to register."
After saying that, he looked at Daerhan and the two girls behind him, and said, "Even if you have money, you don't have to hurry to buy clothes. You will send them to you after entering the fort."
"Thank you, Jun Ye." Daerhan bowed and thanked him, and said with a smile: "I don't buy clothes, I want to see other applications."
The Ming soldiers nodded, and when they heard the officers not far away issued orders, they hurried over to get the license plate, and after they came back, they sent it to these Han people.
According to the rules of the Ma City, the Ming army was responsible for maintaining order, and the Mongolians were not allowed to bring weapons into the market. Therefore, these Han people were very safe in the market.
Daerhan had seen the big brand and asked the general translator in the market. After knowing the rules, he took Hailanzhu and Bumubutai to the large mattress at the market separation area, took out a piece of gold and exchanged it for a small bag of silver coins.
"It's so embarrassing to be so embarrassed that he nodded and bowed his head and was anxious to do business with the Ming people." Bumubutai seemed to be disgusted with the Mongolian style and said with a lip.
Hai Lanzhu didn't say anything, but Daerhan said, "There is nothing to do. The clothes you wear and the iron pot for cooking and cooking meat can only be traded from Mingren."
"With more people, talk less, and don't always tell people who are wise." Hai Lanzhu calmly reminded, "Let's go, hurry up and register."
Several Ming soldiers came towards him with a general interpreter, staring at the horses brought by the Mongolians, and passed by the three Daerhans.
The three of Daerhans took the license plate and walked through the obstacles in the middle of the market, and came to the Han merchants. They were soon attracted by the numerous varieties of goods here.
Gorgeous silk, exquisite cloth, dark iron pot, rouge lipstick, and beautiful wine fragrance...
Daerhan sniffed and his eyes lit up. Looking at the price of various wines, he couldn't help but walk over.
"Sister, why do you want a silver coin? Do you want to buy something?" Bumubutai asked in a strange way.
Hai Lanzhu lowered her eyes, paused for a moment, and then replied in a low voice: "There is a picture of the dog emperor on it. How can I find him if I don't recognize him?"
Bumubutai suddenly realized and lowered his voice and said, "Then I want one too. Remember it firmly and you can recognize it at a glance."
Hai Lanzhu smiled bitterly, knowing that the girl was too naive. When she looked up, she saw Daerhan walking back with a bottle of wine, she didn't want to say anything, so she closed her mouth.
