Chapter 205 For the Disaster of Liaodong, Bi Nuerhachi
Warmly congratulate the big guy "Wu Dao Chang" for being promoted to the twelfth leader of the store!
Guest officer, third floor please!
.......
The news about the founding of Nurhachi on New Year's Day was transmitted back to Yeh from the Khalkha Department of Mongolia by Dongge, and then sent to Shenyang by his brother Buyangu.
Dong Ge is married, and her husband is Mang Guldai, the eldest son of Darkhan Beyler, one of the five Khalkha tribes.
Dongge didn't like Mang Gurdai, and he agreed to this marriage only because Jianzhou's suppression of Ye He had reached the extreme, and Ye He was in urgent need of foreign aid. The strong soldiers and horses of the warm and free department became the lifeline of the Yehe department.
It's a pity that although the Warm Immunity Department, which has a large number of cavalry and a large number of livestock, is the strongest of the five Khalkha Divisions, they are no longer the eagles that used to fly in the sky and the tigers roaring in the mountains and forests.
Nurhachi took advantage of the internal and external difficulties of the five tribes, as well as the contradictions between them, to divide and disintegrate, weaken the Khalkha step by step, and finally forced the rest of the Khalkha tribes except for the warm and exempt department to submit to him, and gave him the honorific title of "Kundulun Khan".
But even so, Darkhan Belle and his son Mang Guldai of the Ministry of Warmth and Immunity still did not choose to submit, and they repeatedly attacked the cantonment of Jianzhou to make their attitude and position clear to the Ming Dynasty and Yehe.
But that's all there is to it.
At the time of writing this letter, Dong Ge was already seriously ill.
In the letter, this poor "old woman" begged in an extremely sad and pitiful tone for Gonggong Wei to immediately tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty the truth about the imminent rebellion in Jianzhou, instead of allowing those officials and lords in Liaodong to be deceived by Nurhachi, or not to report it, or not to pay attention to it at all.
Although his husband and father-in-law are still enemies of Jianzhou, Dongge knows that the Ministry of Warmth and Exemption is difficult to support alone, and if the Ming Dynasty does not show his sword to Jianzhou, he does not need to do anything in Jianzhou at all, and the Ministry of Warmth and Immunity will also be eliminated by the remaining four departments of Inner Khalkha. Immediately afterwards, it was Ye He who was eliminated, and after that, it must be Da Ming!
Dongge's Chinese characters are not very well written, and there are many typos and wrong words in the letter, at first glance, many words are not smooth, and it is also a little confusing, but Wei Gonggong can see it clearly, and he also knows Dongge's urgency.
Judging from what Brother Dong said in the letter, Nurhachi's founding Dajin also has a lot to do with his Wei father-in-law, and even said that it was completely forced out by his Wei father-in-law.
The reason is that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Kuandian Liubao were swept away by Gonggong Wei.
This incident disrupted Nurhachi's ten-year layout and dealt a heavy blow to its strength in southeastern Liaoning.
At that time, Li Chengliang gave up the six forts to Jianzhou, and it was just as Xiong Tingbi said in the impeachment that he was the enemy. is not only an enemy, but also a tiger entering the house.
What hundreds of kilometers of soil and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians mean to the establishment of the state, Li Chengliang could not have known it at the moment when he made his decision.
The rise of Nurhachi has never been inseparable from Li Chengliang's help, and the Kuandian Six Forts is the heaviest gift that Li Chengliang gave to Nurhachi.
Even if Li Chengliang's original intention may just be to let Jianzhou get involved in North Korea with Kuandian Liubao and cut off the communication between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, so as to help him realize his long-cherished wish in his heart for many years - to become the king of North Korea.
For the control of Jianzhou, for Nurhachi, Li Chengliang is confident.
There was never anything wrong with this, Nurhachi was afraid of him, really afraid of him.
But the old lady forgot that he was already very old, and the old one would die at any time.
If it weren't for Gonggong Wei's sweep in Kuandian, it would only take a few years for tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to be completely digested by Jianzhou, so that Jianzhou would not only have hundreds of kilometers of more land, but also realize Li Chengliang's original intention.
However, this incident also completely freed up the Jianzhou soldiers and horses to deal with their old enemy Yehe, as well as conquer Khalkha, Korqin, Chahar, and even Monan.
That's how things evolved.
A dog becomes a wolf, then a tiger, and finally a dragon.
At the beginning, when Gonggong Wei and Xiong Mingyu were ordered to go to Jianzhou to investigate the matter of Kuandian Liubao, why did Nurhachi behave so low-key and deferential, and even endured the killing of his son Taizhu Hong, in order for the imperial court to acquiesce in Kuandian Liubao to Jianzhou.
The relationship of interests, the black-faced old man knows better than anyone else, and he knows how to weigh it better.
In fact, he did just that.
Although Gonggong Wei, who was only a small two-hall house at that time, knew the consequences of the occupation of Jianzhou by Kuandian Liubao, he was powerless to change this fact.
He could only combine his own ability to play a hand of chess in Jianzhou, and this idle chess hand was Zhenying.
Whether this move has any effect or not, and whether it can be played at a critical time, Wei Gonggong does not know. But he knew that Zhenying, who was supposed to die last year, was still alive and was still Nurhachi's nominal heir.
And Zhen Ying's filial piety to his Ama and all kinds of contributions to the establishment of the state are all the guidance of Teacher Wei.
For example, persuade his Ama to change the four flags to eight flags, pull all the younger brothers below up, everyone has a flag leader, and everyone has a soldier belt.
This certainly seems like a good thing, but it is not a good thing for those ministers who have historically contributed to the rise of the Later Jin.
When do good things become bad things, whether father and son can really kill each other, Grandpa Wei is not an immortal, he can only do it, but he can't decide the result.
But in any case, Zhu Ying is definitely much easier to deal with than the adult Hong Taizhu.
In addition to this idle move, it is a ruthless sweep in the first half of the year.
In the first half of the year, the imperial army's sweep of the six forts of Kuandian was ruthless, iron and blood, and more than 60,000 Kuandian soldiers and civilians and thousands of Jianzhou soldiers were probably only removed, and most of the remaining were reduced to bones.
The hundreds of square kilometers of Kuandianliubao have become an uninhabited area, and it is no longer a base that can continuously provide food for Jianzhou, nor is it an advance base for Jianzhou's troops to face Liaodong.
The importance of a buffer of several hundred miles to the heart of Liaodong is obvious.
Subsequently, the "border wall offensive" against Jianzhou burned a large number of Jianzhou tun villages, and also cut down Nurhachi's uncle, killing and plundering three or four thousand Jianzhou people one after another.
This move made the Abba Taiwanghe, who then galloped with the main force of Jianzhou, sigh, and made Nurhachi, who was far away in Heituala, look up to the sky and cry out: "Wei Eunuch burned me Jueluo, killed my uncle, and hated me in this life!" ”
To be honest, if Nurhachi was angry at that time, whether it was the seven hatreds or the eight hatreds, Gonggong Wei would be happy to see it.
He wished that the black-faced old man could be angry and become a thief.
However, the old tortoise had more endurance than him.
After scolding, Nurhachi only protested to the imperial court, and this protest did not seem too reasonable in legal theory, after all, the imperial court did not officially say that the six forts were built by you.
The matter of the war of words was unclear, and Gonggong Wei was too lazy to fight, he just sent some money to the emperor, and the matter dragged on and on, and there was no hope of dragging it to Nurhachi.
Gonggong Wei didn't care about him, and after shaking around the northern part of Korea and Phi Dao, he happily went south, thinking that the loss of Kuandian Liubao was enough for Nurhachi to slow down the pace of his rebellion, however, the black-faced old man did not do what he wanted, but turned his grief and anger into strength, silently led the troops to conquer Khalkha, and dug the corner of Lin Dan Khan in southern Mongolia.
Now, the strength of Jianzhou has not only recovered to before the six forts of Kuandian were swept away, but has even increased several times, with more than 80,000 soldiers under eight banners, including nearly 50,000 people in armor. If all the people are mobilized, Aha and the servant army will be brought along, and the strength of the army can even reach 1340,000.
Obviously, there is no need for all the people to mobilize, just these 50,000 or so armored people are enough for Nurhachi to show his sword to the Ming Dynasty.
The restoration of strength, the expansion of territory, and the submission of large and small tribes made Nurhachi no longer able to swallow the evil anger in his heart.
He really wants to rebel.
So, on New Year's Day, he will officially establish his Dajin Kingdom, and it will be the Dajin Kingdom with the era name.
Statehood, era name.
This is a prerequisite for rebellion, and it is also the basic condition.
..........
New Year's Day is the first day of the first lunar month, and when fighting Emperor Wudi of Han, it is the traditional festival of the Chinese, also called the Spring Festival. It's just that in my father-in-law's previous life, because of the cultural invasion of Westerners, this New Year's Day was decoupled from the Spring Festival.
On New Year's Day, the Ming Dynasty was on holiday, and the old Khan founded the country, and there was no conflict in time. When Liaodong reacts, it will be at least February for the first-level report. At that time, even if the imperial court receives the news, I am afraid it will not send troops to attack.
After all, the efficiency of the court and the place is not too fast, and the court may think more about whether to appease it first.
Since ancient times, it has not been the only means to appease the. That is, the so-called noisy children have candy to eat.
When it is determined that a few pieces of sugar cannot be appeased, the princes of the court will start to solve the military problem, dispatch troops, arrange money and food, and they will not be able to move at all for a year and a half.
Gonggong Wei is very clear about this, isn't the battle of Salhu just prepared for more than half a year.
Moreover, it was only three years later that Nurhachi officially launched his army with the "Seven Hatreds".
Li Chengliang is not dead, and the old man will not move lightly.
However, Dong Ge is going to die.
Thinking of the night at the post station, Gonggong Wei's heart was very heavy, he was sorry for Brother Dong, he was just like the negative person described in the book, he was a saint when he put on his pants, or he didn't remember people if he gave money.
From the beginning of the encounter to the present, Gonggong Wei thought about it carefully, and his help to Dongge was almost none, because those help could not actually solve the problems of the Yehe tribe.
If you want to solve the problem of the Yehe tribe, there is only one way, and that is to send troops to Heituala and eliminate Jianzhou in one fell swoop.
Gonggong Wei is not without this idea, but unfortunately, he can't decide the pattern of Liaodong, and his Ming Emperor's personal army can't be the opponent of the Eight Banners with tens of thousands of elite cavalry at the moment.
In terms of strength alone, the imperial army was in a weak position.
Compared with the Eight Banners, the number of battles and combat experience of the imperial army, as well as the scale of battles, are significantly lower by several levels.
At least, until now, the Imperial Army had no experience in engaging large-scale cavalry.
Gonggong Wei didn't think that he could take the newly formed Guards Division to compete with the old slave with a slap on the head, in that case, his old man was likely to be broken.
Therefore, if you want to eliminate Nurhachi and the reactionary clique in Jianzhou headed by him, you must at least be able to mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, and get the full support of the civil and military forces of Liaodong and the imperial court.
But this is obviously not something he can do.
Although both inside and outside are the imperial court, there is a difference between inside and outside.
His father-in-law Wei was able to influence Zhejiang and Fujian, relying on the Zhejiang Party, relying on the collusion of interests, and relying on the emperor's desire for "foreign wealth".
But in Liaodong, there is no foreign wealth, and some just throw money into it. There is no collusion between his father-in-law Wei and the officialdom of Liaodong, and it can even be said that he is still an enemy. Because the relationship between his old man and the Li family was very stiff, and he made a big fight.
He was Dongge's last hope, but he could not be that hope.
The father-in-law let out a long sigh, he couldn't do what Brother Dong wanted, but he couldn't do nothing. These three years are certainly an opportunity for him to strengthen the imperial army, but it is also an opportunity for the Eight Banners to grow.
"It is said that when Nurhachi unified the eight departments of Jianzhou and conquered the four departments of Haixi, the prime minister of Shanyin once played to the emperor, saying that the chieftain of Jianyi was very arrogant, close to Zhuyi, and most of them were annexed, and they were strong and did not pay tribute......"
Li Yongzhen knew that Xiao Wei's father-in-law had always had no good impression of Jianzhou. The Sanyin Xianggong he was talking about was Zhu Geng, who had been a university scholar.
"There are not many people who can see it as clearly as San'in Xianggong." Gonggong Wei said in a deep voice.
At that time, the emperor had asked Yu Xiyuan to send an envoy to Jianzhou to see if Nurhachi had any objections, but Nurhachi swore to Yu Yushi: "I have been in charge for thirteen years, guarding the border of the Celestial Empire for nine hundred and fifty miles, and I have never had two hearts." , and called Yu Yushi the lord of the Heavenly Dynasty, and Li Chengliang libao, so that the emperor believed him. ”
Li Yongzhen was talking about the old things from twenty years ago, and Gonggong Wei nodded, he also knew about it. If it weren't for Nurhachi patting his chest like a grandson, how could Li Chengliang alone help him get to this point.
"If my father-in-law wants to make a difference to Jianzhou, I think there is someone who can help my father-in-law." Li Yongzhen obviously knew more about things in the court than Gonggong Wei.
"Who?"
"This soldier."
"Li Hualong?"
Father-in-law Wei was stunned.
Li Yongzhen said: "When I was in the clerical room, I saw a note by Li Benbing, which said that Jianzhou was like a cloud, the army was like rain, the daily practice was to fight, and the high city was fortified, so Li Benbing asserted that the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do and would not move lightly. Once something happens, the one who is the culprit will also be Nurhachi! ”
"In this way, this soldier has long expected that Jianzhou will be opposed, if he can come forward to ask for Jianzhou, maybe it can really be done, at least let the court know the ambition of Jianzhou, so as to prepare early, so as not to cause a big disaster."
Speaking of this, Gonggong Wei paused, and said with a headache: "It's just that this soldier is afraid that he doesn't have a good impression of us." ”
At the beginning, Xiong Mingyu went to Liaodong to trouble Gonggong Wei as a member of the military department, and without the consent of the secretary of the military department, Xiong Mingyu would not have been able to become this deputy envoy.
