Chapter 112: Haixi Endgame
Chapter 112: Haixi Endgame
The Tile Spur army is equal to the elite of the Ming army in terms of combat effectiveness, and it can be said that it is equal to the top. There is the power to fight.
However, the economic weakness of the tile spur has no way to compare with Daming.
As far as Da Ming is concerned, such war consumption is nothing at all?
Yang Pu has always been opposed to Zhu Qizhen's large-scale use of troops, or rather a cautious attitude, but Yang Pu has never expressed an opinion on the battle of Haixi?
Why?
It is because what Yang Pu opposed was that Emperor Taizong moved 500,000 troops out of the customs, which was a move to burn money. Instead of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and just near the border, the transport line is not long.
The only thing that is a little unhappy with the annual appropriation of Haixi is just that.
The expenditure of this battle, in Yang Pu's view, is not a large-scale use of troops at all. If Zhu Qizhen guarantees that the scale of the war can be maintained at this intensity in the future.
Yang Pu could wake up laughing.
But it's not the same first.
After consolidating his position, why he kept fighting, on the one hand, was to re-establish his prestige, and on the other hand, he was actually fighting to nourish the war.
The products of the Western Regions, the trade of the Silk Road, the products of the slaves, the manpower and material resources of various places, etc., have all been of great help to the fragile economy of the tile spurs.
Not to mention, tributary trade with the Ming in the name of various ministries.
It's also a lucrative deal.
In the face of the long-term attack on Haixi City, the logistical shortcomings of the tile spur were undoubtedly exposed.
With so many mouths, who do you eat?
The Jianzhou Jurchens, who were originally wealthy, have exhausted all the family funds accumulated over the years in this war.
Not to mention, it's already autumn. Winter in the Northeast came very early, and if you didn't prepare well, these hundreds of thousands of troops might not have been defeated by the Ming army, but they were defeated by the weather.
Although everyone is in a bitter cold place, the ability to withstand the cold is relatively strong, but no one underestimates the great power of nature.
It will take time for the army to go back.
So now it's time to make a decision.
I also know that it is difficult to disobey the will of the people, and I don't want to spend it here first.
In fact, if the capital is also invested first, Haixi may not be able to conquer it. But you must know that this is Haixi, not Beijing. It's not worth paying such a big price.
However, the development of Haixi City must also be restricted first.
How to restrict, is to support Li Manzhu.
He also promised Li Manzhu everything he had promised, and migrated from the north, and many tribes gave them the land and pastures here.
Let them obey the orders of Pingzhang, the king of Haixi, who conquered the eastern province.
After adding many tribes, Li Manzhu suddenly had tens of thousands of horses under his command. After all, it is bitterly cold in the north, even colder than in the western part of the sea.
Naturally, they were willing to go south. These people also dare to fight hard. With the deterrence of the tile thorns, they did not dare to disobey Li Manzhu's orders.
However, it is also necessary to make a request for Li Manzhu to give Li Manzhu this lot of benefits, and the requirement is to restrict the development of Haixi Town, and finally block Haixi Town in the corner of Haixi City.
Don't interfere in the war in the east.
In addition to giving such a big benefit to Li Manzhu, he also asked for his own pocket to reward Uliangha, who had already joined the Jurchen tribes.
Although he was arrogant, he also knew that if he was victorious. There is no need to give more of these rewards. But now it's a sandwich meal, and I want to make the people below work hard.
Just give some benefits.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to recruit next time.
Originally, he wanted to stay here for a few days, but at this moment, the war in Gansu reached the ears of Yexian, and he heard that between Hamiwei and Jiayuguan, it suddenly became a no-man's land.
I was also very angry in my heart first.
In his opinion, what the Southern Dynasty did was fundamentally an act that harmed others and did not benefit itself, and these tens of thousands of people were nothing between the two countries?
Even if it has always been said that the people of the grassland are not a county in China, the population under the control of the tile thorn may be less than 10 million, but it is definitely in the millions.
Tens of thousands of people, still not in their eyes.
What he valued was the trade between Hami and Jiayuguan.
The area has become a no-man's land, perhaps not really without people. However, the tributary trade between the Western Regions and the imperial court may be much more difficult.
In Yexian's view, this may be the Ming Dynasty's desire to cut off the tributary trade.
also said secretly in his heart: "It seems that I should really go back." ”
For Watts, any income is precious. First after the Battle of Haixi, I had a deeper understanding of the gap in national strength between the Watts and the Ming Dynasty.
I also have to find a way to repair the relationship first.
Before the time comes, there will be no real decisive battle with Daming.
As for when the time is, no one knows until the time comes.
He also ordered the evacuation of all troops from Haixi City. However, Li Manzhu led the men and horses of various departments and still held the long siege. It seems that the previous situation is to be maintained. Trap Hercynian City in it.
In this way, Shi Heng's voice of asking for war became even more exciting.
Many people feel the opportunity.
Even Jiao Li may not be unmoved, but when he thinks about it, he still gives up.
Without him, Haixi's capital is too weak.
It's just 30,000 soldiers. The other party is a long siege all the way to the seaside, as well as all kinds of siege equipment, those return cannons or anything did not come back, they all stayed here.
It was used by the Jurchens of Jianzhou.
How did Jiao Li appease the soldiers below, he used a trick to ask for orders. A ship was sent to Korea with the causal notes of the battle of Haexi before and after.
The DPRK side did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent it to 800 miles in an expedited manner
Arrived at Jingshi. 、
This is the first letter since the siege of Haixi. Naturally, it attracted great attention from Zhu Qizhen.
For the first to retreat, there are only Jurchen tribes outside Haixi City. Zhu Qizhen sniffed the fighter plane at a glance. The decisive battle between the imperial court and the tile spur may be a bit suspenseful, but can't it beat the Jurchens of Jianzhou?
And for the four words Jianzhou Jurchen, Zhu Qizhen has a knot. Zhu Qizhen has been telling himself not to let superfluous emotions affect his judgment.
Whether it is Jianzhou Jurchen really loves the Xinjueluo family, or not.
As an emperor, Zhu Qizhen cannot condemn the people of the present with the crimes of the future. Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, as long as he is angry in Wang Zhenzhi's case, all the other cases are Ming canonical punishments.
There has never been a lynching, and every person killed has a strong charge.
This is related to the authority of the emperor and the majesty of the court.
Even if Zhu Qizhen has a knot, he won't mess around. As long as the Jianzhou Jurchen lineage is still on the side of the imperial court. also worked for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen pretended that he didn't remember the relationship between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Qing Dynasty.
But now, the Jianzhou Jurchen lineage is still really heaven has a way for you not to go, and hell has no door to break into.
In this way, Zhu Qizhen wants to dispose of the Jianzhou Jurchens and remove the Jianzhou Jurchens from the world.
A traitor is more hateful than an enemy.
It's just the same in ancient and modern times.
"That's good news." Zhu Qizhen said secretly in his heart. How to fight the Jianzhou Jurchen, Zhu Qizhen didn't think much about it, and the British Guild would arrange it properly.
Zhu Qizhen continued to watch, and suddenly his face was a little sad, but he saw the news that Yizha had died of illness.
Jiao Li dared to hide this news in Haixi, but he never dared to hide it from the imperial court.
Zhu Qizhen remembered that the first time he saw Yishiha was when he had just ascended the throne. This old minister has made a lot of achievements. However, what Zhu Qizhen cares about most is not actually the establishment of Haixi Town, which has made the first step in operating the Northeast.
Instead, rice cultivation in eastern Liaodong opened up the situation.
Although rice cultivation is not too common in Liaodong today, some land has begun to grow rice.
It's just that the seeds of this rice are all from North Korea, and the yield per mu seems to be a little worse than that of rice in Jiangnan. But it's still much higher than wheat.
Although better rice varieties are still being cultivated, and such cultivation may take years and decades, even so, some of the conditions for the development of the Northeast Plain have more or less matured.
Zhu Qizhen has always been interested in Yishaha controlling and developing the Northeast, after all, Yishaha is very familiar with the Northeast, and he has done a good job in opening up Haixi.
But Zhu Qizhen forgot the most fundamental law in the world.
People die.
The death of this old minister, Zhu Qizhen only felt that he had a broken arm, and his whole mind was empty. Weisi people, then the northeast?
