Chapter 301: The Great War is about to begin
The dispute between the DPRK and China gradually arose, and the situation in Liaodong, which had been stabilized for nearly two years, also underwent drastic changes.
Wei Zhongxian restarted the Tao Xian case in the second year of the Apocalypse, but somehow, the Donglin moderates began to join forces with the eunuch party to jointly deal with the Imperial History of the Imperial Inspectorate.
When the latter learned of this, they even teamed up with a group of radical civilian officials, like a group of mad dogs, to bite everywhere.
Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of Zuodu, promoted his protégés to enter the Ministry of Rites, and the left temple of Dali Temple was left Guangdou, and he cheated during the invigilation of the township examination, so that a large number of Donglin scholars were evaluated for their studies.
There are also officials from all over the country, large and small, who filled their pockets and embezzled public funds when the imperial court built water conservancy in Jifu in the 37th year of Wanli, and all of them were brought to the surface.
Overnight, the government and the opposition were shocked.
Officials are either panicked all day long, Xu Tu protects himself, or like You Shiren and others, they break the jar and break down, and rely on exposing others to keep themselves out of the public eye.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian and Dongchang also put all their attention on the Tao Xian case in the second year of the Apocalypse, and prepared for the trial of the three divisions with Han Yi and others.
With the tacit consent of the presiding judge Zuo Guangdou and others, the preliminary trial results of Tao Xianxian's case were completely overturned in the third year of the Apocalypse, and Tao Xianxian, You Shiren and others all became the culprits who swallowed the Dongjiang Army's military supplies.
Wei Zhongxian immediately sent a soldier to the door to arrest the wanderer and put him in prison.
When the momentum of the battle arrived, the wanderer Ren Zheng sat in the main hall, as if he had expected it, and when he saw the Dongchang team that broke through the door and entered, it is said that he did not have the slightest fear and fear, but laughed heartily.
Naturally, when this news reached Wei Zhongxian's ears, he was furious again, and ordered to gather evidence of the crime, and he was bound to punish his nine clans.
Although You Shiren has been imprisoned, his impact on the court is still indelible.
There was chaos in the DPRK and China, and Liaodong was no better.
Nurhachi gathered a force of 140,000 Eight Banners, personally cut off the Ming Banner in Shenyang, and told the story of his deeds of winning a hundred battles with the armor of his ancestors so far, so as to boost the morale of the army.
Later, the Jin army invaded the important town of Shenyang again, encircling but not fighting, which was intended to encircle the point and send reinforcements, consuming the vitality of the Ming border army.
Man Gui, the general responsible for guarding Shenyang, insisted on Xiong Tingbi's unfortified battle strategy, and personally patrolled the city wall day and night to stabilize morale.
On the other hand, the four major tribes of the Korqin and Inner Khalkha tribes also received a letter from Hetuala, and the lords of the five tribes met in the Horqin steppe, gathered a large army, and waved their troops south.
The five allied forces are known as 200,000 iron cavalry, and the front of the troops is directly aimed at the strongest of the five major tribes of Inner Khalkha, and they are attached to the Fuyu Department of the Ming Dynasty.
The lord of the Fuyu tribe, the sixth son of Dayan Khan, also ordered that all men who were higher than the head of the horse in the Fuyu tribe should participate in the battle.
He gathered a large number of small tribes attached to the Fuyu tribe, declared to them that he was determined to fight to the death, and sent light cavalry to Quang Ninh to ask for help.
After Quang Ninh received a call for help, he quickly sent a fast horse to report to the Beijing division.
Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, attached great importance to this matter, and was promoted to the ministry after receiving the Tang report.
During the ministerial meeting, Cui Chengxiu took out the edict sent back to Beijing by the Emperor of the Apocalypse not long ago, and on this basis, ended the dispute between the officials of the military department over it, and summoned the soldiers and horses from all over the nine border towns and Gyeonggi to defend the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
At the same time when the document was issued, the letter of state was sent by the envoy to Chahanhot, the "capital" of the Chahar Department, with one meaning, the Ming court asked Lindan Batur of the Chahar Department to immediately lead the Chahar Department and the Mongol tribes in southern China to participate in the war.
Lin Dan Batur was kind to the envoy, but his meaning was unclear, and for several days, there was no news, Zai Sai was furious, and angrily scolded Lin Dan Batur for his treachery and being a direct descendant of the Golden Family.
But what made him happy was that Daming entered the war.
It's not just about participating in the war, this is the largest military operation of the Ming Dynasty since the Battle of Salhu, and the soldiers and horses of the Nine Border Military Town and Jifu all need to be reinforced.
The mobilized troops even exceeded the battle of the southwest.
This news not only made Zai Sai quite excited, but also made the people of the Fuyu Department deviate from the Chahar Department and be more loyal to the Apocalypse Court.
The news of the mobilization of the army in the Guannai and the desire to have another "battle of Sarhu" with the rear army soon reached Nurhachi's ears through the mouth of the fine work.
Houjin urgently convened the Baylor meeting, and many people did not understand Daming's attitude this time.
It is said that this is not the first time that Daikin has entered Shenyang, could it be that another purpose this time was discovered by them?
Indeed, after Nurhachi realized that it was no longer useful to storm Shenyang, he changed his tactical intentions, and this time they were actually just pretending to be in Shenyang.
Nurhachi's real purpose is to destroy the Fuyu tribe and connect the Korqin tribe and the Inner Khalkha tribe, so that the land of Quang Ninh and Liaoshen Guangrou will be exposed to their iron hooves!
But he didn't expect that when the sentinel to Horqin was still on the way, Xiong Tingbi quickly recognized his tactical intentions, and used the right of Liaodong to play the Emperor of the Apocalypse in Nanjing.
This time, Da Ming's reaction to Houjin's action can be described as swift.
Zhu Youxiao sent an edict to Beijing in advance, and determined the will that once the Houjin was in trouble, the Fuyu Department would ask for help and be sure to gather a large army to participate in the war.
When Cui Chengxiu later convened the ministerial meeting, it was with this edict that he skipped the complicated verbal disputes in the past, and sent a letter the day after receiving the Guangning Tang Newspaper.
This speed is faster than ever.
From the third day, the Ming army of Kifu and the important towns of the nine borders has begun to assemble in Beijing, and it is expected that within half a month, an army of nearly 200,000 people will be formed in the north.
Therefore, at present, there are also many contradictions within Houjin, and several factions have been formed.
Some people say that since the Ming Kingdom mobilized its troops so quickly, it was because they already knew their thoughts and needed to discuss it calmly.
Some people also said that they Dajin don't need to be afraid of the Ming troops at all, the Horqin five-part coalition army has several times more strength than the Fuyu Division, and the Horqin cavalry combat effectiveness is also good, and they will be able to destroy the Fuyu Department in one fell swoop.
At that time, the initiative in the war will be completely in the hands of Dajin, and if the Ming army comes to help, then fight another battle of Sarhu and destroy their main force.
Fan Wencheng also pointed out that after many years of war, Daming is actually already a paper tiger, and the troops mobilized this time are undoubtedly their main force in Jiubian and Kifu.
Eliminate the Ming army in this pass, Dajin will completely occupy the initiative strategically, and Liaodong will become a chicken rib for the Ming Dynasty.
Refused, without soldiers and money, Xiong Tingbi was difficult to support alone.
Give up, they will fight each other internally, unwilling to give up the land of their ancestors, no matter what, as long as this Ming army is eliminated, the Ming Dynasty can no longer confront Dajin.
I have to say that Fan Wencheng still knows the inside of Daming very well, and his words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, almost persuading all the Eight Banners Baylor of the entire main retreat faction.
Azig, Turg and others were all excited, wanting to use this second "Battle of Sarhu" to completely defeat the Ming Dynasty and tear apart their seemingly powerful camouflage.
And Nurhachi, knowing that he is old and decrepit, can go on the horse to fight, and one day will be one less day, and he will miss the opportunity for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to take the Yongwei Battalion to the south, and I don't know if I can wait for the next time.
In the end, Houjin still decided to fight this battle.
They were prepared to act according to the original plan first, and the success or failure of the entire battle would depend on whether the five major allied forces could successfully defeat the Fuyu army within the specified time.
At the same time, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong, and Sun Chengzong, the senator of Guangning, learned of the news of participating in the war, and they also raised their accounts in Liaoyang, Haizhou, and Guangning respectively, and convened the generals to lead the army.
The generals and governors in Liaodong are making every effort to straighten out government affairs, issue documents on the imperial court's northern expedition, pacify the Quartet, and comfort people's hearts.
The mountain rain is coming, and the second battle between Mingjin and Ming is about to start!
