"What's wrong? Are you struggling? Sullen Geger's pretty face immediately skimmed with melancholy.

"There are two major power groups between us, which are too heavy, and if we were just ordinary people in the people, we wouldn't have so many difficulties. I asked for silver from the golden people, not for me personally, but for the Heaven and Earth Society, for the treasure army, and for the common people under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society. Moreover, you have taken out a large sum of silver, which is bound to be weakened, and you will not start wars frequently in the future, which can also be said to be for the stability of the situation in Liaodong, do you understand? Wei Bao said.

Cong Gulenge sighed: "I understand, I understand, but this is going to be bitter for the people of our Jin country, they are really miserable." ”

"You shouldn't say this to me, but you should say to your father Khan, let him lead the people to live and work in peace and contentment, encourage farming, and don't always think about plundering through war." Wei Bao Road.

Cong Gulen Gege was silent.

Wei Bao comforted: "You don't have to be so unhappy, if your father Khan can really come up with 12 million taels of silver, if the life of the Jin people is really unbearable, my Heaven and Earth Association will definitely provide some assistance, otherwise, if they are forced to live by looting, it will also cause instability in Liaodong!" If they want to plunder again, after being weakened, they will not be the opponent of the treasure army. Besides, 12 million taels of silver is definitely not much for the Jin people, in the past few decades, which year did you not loot the Ming Dynasty, which dignitaries did not have hundreds of thousands of taels at home, even if the Jin people took out 50 million taels of silver, you may not be able to take it out! By my estimation, I only want one-fifth of you. ”

Cong Gulenge was a little nervous when he heard this, "You won't want to go back on your word and increase your demands, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Wei Bao smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" You're starting to get worried, aren't you? Upset, aren't you? Therefore, the marriage between the two of us is very painful, and there are two major power groups involved between us, and a slight movement between the two power groups will affect our feelings. ”

"Maybe that's the case, but with my relationship, when you have any decisions about our Dajin Kingdom, as long as you think of me a little, you should be merciful, right? My father Khan should be the same, in short, since I like you, I can also provide a foundation for the friendship between the two families by marrying you, and there are still more benefits. Cong Gulen said softly.

Wei Bao looked at Cong Guren Gege, who was about the same height as himself although he was only thirteen years old, and couldn't help but gently stroke Cong Gulen Gege's hair, this is a sensible and cute girl.

After meeting Cong Gulen Gege and taking Cong Gulunge with him, Wei Bao wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and return to Liaodong, or go to Hejian Mansion, in short, he wanted to leave the capital and hurry up to develop his power.

The capital is a beautiful place, but the capital is not its own territory, and there are too many factors that cannot be controlled.

For the current Wei Bao, as long as that place does not have its own absolute force, Wei Bao is not at ease.

If Wei Zhongxian forcibly killed himself, in the capital, the strength of the Heaven and Earth Society was far from being an opponent, only a few hundred agents of the Heaven and Earth Society Statistics Bureau and a few hundred accompanying president's guards hiding in the suburbs.

Not counting the Beijing camp of the old father-in-law, the British Gong Zhang Weixian, the tens of thousands of armed eunuchs who can be directly mobilized in Wei Zhongxian's hands, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the officials of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and the men and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, total, are close to 30,000, which is a very large number.

It may not be useful to pull it out, it is more than enough for the strategic defense of the city and the control of the capital, as well as the perimeter of the capital.

The downsizing and unified management of the Daming Naval Division, as well as the opening of the treaty ports, went very smoothly as Wei Bao expected.

After the emperor issued a decree that if the yamen and other localities opposed the Yamen of Haiphong to raise six million taels of silver, they would be asked to pay a tax of six million taels of silver.

The opposition of the yamen and the gentry in various places immediately became much smaller, especially outside the coastal provinces.

What do they think it has to do with them that the Governor of Haiphong, Yamen, is doing so many things, and Wei Bao is doing so many things?

Before, it was just a red eye Wei Bao to make money, but they were afraid that sea trade would affect their money, and if you think about it carefully, there is not much involved.

In addition, the opposition of the various yamen and gentry in the coastal provinces was also much smaller, on the one hand, because of their weak strength, and on the other hand, because they found that if they continued to oppose it, they were likely to face pressure from the emperor, and the gentry and yamen in the provinces outside the coast would put pressure on them.

They realized that it was the emperor who supported Wei Bao, and they couldn't help Wei Bao by relying on the impeachment of the upper notebook and various protest letters.

If you want to oppose it, you can only wait until Wei Bao implements sea trade and try to obstruct it.

In fact, this is not the main reason.

The yamen and gentry in the coastal provinces knew that the sea trade would have an impact on them, but they could not conclude that it would necessarily have a bad influence, at least some of them knew that the profits of the sea trade were very large, and they knew that if they did it well, they could make a lot of money by colluding with the government.

You don't have to lose money.

Therefore, one came quickly, and the opposition that went quickly became weaker and weaker.

On the occasion of the New Year, the big families in the capital have begun to put up lanterns and paste Spring Festival couplets to prepare for the arrival of the New Year.

At this time, something unexpected happened to Wei Bao, and the party struggle in Daming became fierce again.

The reason was that Gao Di suddenly ordered to abandon the entire Guanwai and retreat to Shanhaiguan on all fronts.

In fact, this point has been raised a long time ago, and it was raised in the era of Wang Zaijin.

This is not the first time to come.

Gao Di is the person who Wei Zhongxian got to Liaodong, but he does not belong to the eunuch party, at most he is a wall grass.

The Donglin Party was originally suppressed by Wei Zhongxian, and it was crawling, and there was only one day left to live.

The death of the Ming Dynasty was mainly due to the fact that the entire officialdom was like a shopping mall, and the traditional idea of serving the country with loyalty to the monarch was changed to loyalty to money and party interests.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the "commercial ideology" of the whole folk customs was too strong, and the "abnormal economy" of the whole country developed obviously.

In addition, the tax system is unreasonable, and a whip law has led to a large increase in the number of displaced people.

For these, the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to the cabinet to the officials, did not want to change but felt that it was normal.

These are the keys, resulting in the strength of the Ming Dynasty is quite large, but there are more and more problems.

There are also a lot of Weibao factors in this.

Although there is no talent as outstanding as Wei Bao among the Jin merchants, his strength is still the most powerful in the Ming Dynasty.

From the economic point of view, the Tiandihui, which has been developed for two years, even if you add the controlled Liaonan, Weijiazhuang, and North Korea, the total economic volume of the Tiandihui cannot be compared with that of the Jin merchants.

The gap between the two sides cannot be calculated, Wei Bao estimates that the gap is at least thirty times or more, and may even reach fifty times!

Because Jinshang Group can represent the financial resources of the entire Ming Dynasty to a large extent!

Don't say that businessmen don't have such great skills, what role can the old Jin merchants play in the late Ming Dynasty.

Wei Bao believes that it is a decisive role, and the most important thing is that the people who hold the view that "the Jin merchants collaborated with the enemy led to the destruction of the Ming Dynasty" did not know who the Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty were.

The so-called Eight Imperial Merchants were mainly trade merchants, and they were not "big people" or "big merchants" at all among the Jin merchants, and they had no contact with "major affairs of the imperial court" at all.

Including the uprising of Li Zicheng, which was remembered by many people, can businessmen make a noise.

Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, was it instigated by businessmen?

Killing Wei Zhongxian, was it instigated by businessmen?

Similarly, the "Eight Great Imperial Merchants" brought food and weapons to Houjin mainly through trade.

The question is how much of a role these play.

Just like firearms, firearms in the Ming Dynasty were very good, and they were considered to be an important reason for the extinguishment of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty played itself to death and picked up a bargain.

is the demise of Nanming, all because of internal discord, and it is because of his own incompetence.

Businessmen do not play a decisive role.

Jin Shang also didn't have that much courage, and there was no one like Wei Bao, but these people were definitely good at sabotage.

The mainstream of the Jin merchants was bureaucratic merchants, and the real merchants did not enter the stream at all.

The Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty were completely different from the Jin merchants of the Qing Dynasty, and the Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty were mainly salt merchant families who were power families who used their power to monopolize the salt industry, such as the Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu families.

The Jin merchants of the Qing Dynasty were traders, silver trumpets, etc.

The Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty relied on power and monopoly, while the Jin merchants of the Qing Dynasty relied on power and through their own efforts.

As a result, there is a difference between old and new merchants.

There have been several changes in the reform of the salt industry, but on the whole, the old Jin merchants and Hui merchants have become "the leading salt industry".

The old Jin merchants are represented by the Zhang Siwei family and the Wang Chonggu family.

Wang Chonggu once served as the secretary of the military department and the governor of Shaanxi to control the military, and Wang Chonggu's nephew Zhang Siwei became the first assistant of the cabinet.

Zhang Juzheng relied on the economy of Zhang Siwei's family, and Zhang Siwei's second brother Zhang Sijiao and fourth brother Zhang Sixiang were all famous salt merchants.

Wang Chonggu's father Wang Yao, elder brother Wang Chongyi, younger brother Wang Chongxun, uncle Wang Wenxian, brother-in-law Shen Tingzhen and nephew Shen Jiang were also big salt merchants.

Zhang Siwei's father Zhang Yunling, uncle Zhang Yaoling, father-in-law Wang En, and brother-in-law Wang Yu are also big salt merchants.

At the same time, the Wang family and the Zhang family also married the Ma family, a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, Ma Ziqiang, and the three monopolized the entire salt market.

Yushi Yonggao Chun said angrily about this, "The bad salt law is due to the tendency to run rampant with big business patents", referring to the two major families of Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu.

The Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty were completely different from the Jin merchants of the Qing Dynasty, and the old Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty were mainly bureaucratic merchants, and they were both the largest vested interests of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it was precisely because of their existence that the Ming economy was in a deformed state.

In this sense, it is okay for the Ming Dynasty to die at the hands of bureaucrats and merchants.

Wei Bao was in a hurry to leave the capital, and as soon as he heard the news, he was even more anxious.

Because Wei Bao knows the battle of Ningyuan.

Although Wei Bao is not familiar with history, he still knows such an important war as the Battle of Ningyuan, after all, he is half a Ming fan.

The Battle of Ningyuan was in 1626, the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, the eleventh year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven, the first month, and the battle between the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty in Ningyuan.

The Ming Dynasty called it "Ningyuan Great Victory".

In this battle, the Ming army was victorious, and the Houjin army was defeated, which was also the first time that the Ming army defeated the Houjin army.

In 1621, the first year of Ming Qi and the sixth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven, after the Later Jin army won the battle of Liaoshen, it conquered more than 40 castles such as Guangning and attempted to enter Shanhaiguan.

When the news of the fall of Guangning, an important town in western Liaoning, reached Beijing, the Ming court was shocked, and there was a panic up and down, but Yuan Chonghuan was very calm, and rode out of the pass alone to inspect the situation. ”

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Later Jin, Ming Liaodong Jingluo Wang Zaijin and others advocated retreating to Shanhaiguan, while Yuan Chonghuan, the former military commander of Ningqian, advocated that the inside of the customs must be guarded outside the customs, and the outside of the customs must be guarded Ningyuan, which was supported by Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the Ming Dongge University and a scholar of the military department who went to inspect the Shanhaiguan.

Soon, the Ming court appointed Sun Chengzong to replace Wang Zaijin.

In 1623, in September of the third year of the Ming Dynasty and the eighth year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate, Sun Chengzong ordered Yuan Chonghuan and the deputy chief soldier Man Gui to lead more than 10,000 troops to garrison Ningyuan.

Yuan Chonghuan paid close attention to the training of troops in Tuntian, and built the castle in accordance with the principle of protecting the city with Taiwan, protecting the city with the gun, and protecting the people with the city, and set the rules in person, the city is 3 zhang 2 feet high, the pheasant is 6 feet high, the site is 3 zhang wide, and the upper width is 2 zhang 4 feet.

Ningyuan City was built, and then it became the military town of the barrier Shanhaiguan.

Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan spent a lot of effort and painstaking management in Liaodong before they began to reverse the precarious situation.

In 1625, in the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty and the tenth summer of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate, Sun Chengzong adopted Yuan Chonghuan's suggestion and sent troops to defend Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Youtun and Da and Xiaolinghe, and pushed the defense line of western Liaoning forward 200 li, so that Ningyuan also had a barrier.

In October, the Ming court sent the eunuch Gao Di to replace Sun Chengzong.

In the original history, as soon as Gao Di took office, he had to remove the defensive equipment in Jinzhou, Youtun and other places, and drove all the defenders into the pass.

Yuan Chonghuan resolutely opposed, and Gao Di not only did not listen to Yuan Chonghuan's advice, but also planned to further abandon the two castles of Ningyuan and Qiantun.

Yuan Chonghuan resolutely said: "My official position is Ning Yuandao, if I want to die, I will die here, and I will never leave Ning Yuan!" ”

Gao Di had no choice but to let him lead a small part of the Ming army to stay.

Then Gao Di hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the Ming army and city defense equipment in Jinzhou, Youtun, Da, Xiaolinghe, Songshan, Xingshan and other places, and retreated into the pass.

This retreat order came very suddenly, and there was a lack of careful organization work in advance, so on the way to retreat, the men and horses scrambled to be the first and became a mess, and even the more than 100,000 stone military rations that were piled up in various places on weekdays were discarded.

Ordinary people suffered the pain of fleeing and exile for no reason, many died on the way, and miserable cries were heard everywhere. The people were resentful, and the army was even less motivated.

Castles in Jinzhou, Youtun and Da and Xiao Linghe were all abandoned. Only Yuan Chonghuan affirmed the interests and swore to defend Ningyuan.

Ningyuan City is located about 100 kilometers outside Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan small city in 1428, Xuande three years before setting up "Wei".

The whole city is square in shape, with a total of four gates; The circumference is six miles and eight steps, and the height is two feet and five feet; The pond is one zhang deep, two zhang wide, and has a circumference of seven miles and eight steps, but it is only slightly larger than the "place".

Such a small city, in any case, cannot be compared with Shenyang, Liaoyang and other important towns outside the Guan, which are guarded by elite Ming troops.

When Western cannons were transported to Ningyuan, they were also placed outside the moats outside the city.

Yuan Chonghuan gave up the formation of a fortress outside the city and a horn with the city, and withdrew all the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of Ning Yuan, such as the left and right tun, together with the Western cannons, various city defense equipment and people outside the city, and the houses outside the city were burned.

The rebuilt city wall of Ningyuan City has a square enemy platform at each of the four corners, which extends out of the city on three sides, and is connected to the city on one side, and the most advanced red-coated cannon in China at that time was placed on the special artillery carriage of the enemy platform.

The artillery is rotated, and the fire can cover a range of 270 degrees outside the city walls; The cannons between the enemy platforms at the corners of the adjacent city walls can also shoot at the enemy troops under the city, which to a certain extent fills the dead end of the artillery that the Jin army used to dig the city after the past.

According to the record of "Ming Ji Beiluo", Yuan Chonghuan owned a total of 11 Western cannons in Ningyuan City at that time, and Peng Qi, who had been trained by the Portuguese, served as the chief firearm commander, specializing in training gunners to use red-coated cannons.

And Luo Li, a soldier recruited by Yuan Chonghuan as early as Fujian, became one of the launchers of the red-coated cannon.

Nurhachi took the opportunity of the easy marshal of the Ming army in Liaodong and the hasty withdrawal of the army, personally commanded the Eight Banners Army of about 60,000 people, known as 130,000, in 1626, the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, the 11th year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven 14th out of Shenyang, the 17th west crossed the Liao River, and approached Ningyuan.

At this time, the defenders of Ningyuan in the lonely city were less than 20,000, there was a strong enemy in front of them, and there were no reinforcements in the rear, and the situation was sinister.

Yuan Chonghuan was not afraid of danger, convened the generals to discuss the battle and defense, and decided to adopt the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, and organized the whole city to defend the city together. He stabbed blood in front of all the soldiers and swore to live and die with Ning Yuan, and the soldiers and people were moved by it.

Yuan Chonghuan Xuan guarded the east, west, south and north of the city with the general Mangui, the deputy general Zuo Fu, the general Zu Dashou, and the deputy general Zhu Mei, and supervised the whole city with Mangui.

Eleven Western cannons were installed in the city.

The east and north sides and the west and south sides are respectively commanded by Peng Haigu and Luo Li.

Mobilize the merchants and people of the city to enter the city, burn all the houses outside the city, and accumulate them, so that the Houjin army will be exposed in the cold and wilderness.

Yuan Chonghuan also made good use of spies against Nurhachi, personally supervised and inspected the spies with Cheng Weihao, sent people to patrol the streets and alleys, and mobilized the people on the street to cooperate with the soldiers to search and arrest from house to house. Ling Tong sentenced Jin Qiliang to send people to provide food for the soldiers defending the city.

He also sent officials to lead the merchants and people in the city to prepare materials, transport arrows, stones, gunpowder, etc.

The soldiers and civilians also poured water and ice on the outside of the city wall to prevent the Jin army from landing in the city.

All preparations for defense were made on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, which stabilized the morale of the army and the people.

On the 23rd day of the first month, the Houjin army entered Ningyuan, crossed the Shanhai Avenue five miles away from the city, set up camp, cut off the connection between Ningyuan and Guannei, and set up a large camp in the north of the city.

Nurhachi sent the captives into the city to persuade them to surrender, but they were sternly refused.

Yuan Chonghuan ordered Luo Li and others to set off Western cannons at the Houjin army camp in the north of the city, and the Houjin army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to move the camp west.

On the morning of the 24th day of the first month, Nurhachi launched a siege of the city, ordered the Jin army to push the carts, transport hooks and ladders, and the cavalry swarmed to attack the southwest corner of the city, and ten thousand arrows shot at the city.

Yuan Chonghuan ordered Western cannons to be fired, and the Jin army was killed and wounded.

Zuo Fu led the army and civilians to rely on the fortified city and fought to the death without retreating; Zu Dashou led the army to help, the guns and cannons were fired in unison, the medicine jars and thunder stones were all down, and the Houjin army was killed and wounded.

Nurhachi ordered to move troops to attack the south of the city, using the chariot as a cover, and digging a big hole two zhang square between the two guards at the corner of the city gate, and the city of Ningyuan was in danger.

At the critical juncture, Yuan Chonghuan personally carried the soil and moved stones, plugged the gaps, and stained the battle robes with blood, but he was still calm and calm, supervising the soldiers and civilians to bind firewood and pour oil and mix gunpowder, and hang down the iron cable to the city to burn; He also selected 50 Jianding to reel in the city, and burned all the Houjin chariots that arrived under the city with cotton, gunpowder and other materials. The battle lasted until late at night, and the Houjin army did not break the siege, so they withdrew their troops.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, Nurhachi continued to command the siege, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day from morning to evening. The Ming army unleashed artillery fire on the city, killing and wounding a large number of Houjin cavalry.

The Houjin army was afraid of artillery fire and did not dare to approach the city, and its generals drove the troops with swords, only to return to the city, snatched the corpses, and transported them to the brick kiln outside the west gate of the city for incineration. Nurhachi had no choice but to retreat to the Nine Dragons Palace, which was five miles away from the city, and set up camp.

On the 26th of the first month, the Houjin army continued to besiege the city, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were good at cavalry and archery, were blocked in front of the deep ditch and high fortress, and under the fire of arrows and stones, it was difficult to give full play to their cavalry combat expertise, and they suffered heavy casualties and were forced to withdraw.

Nurhachi attacked Ningyuan and raided Juehua Island.

It was the middle of winter, the sea was frozen, there was no danger to defend, the Ming general Yao Fumin and others led the officers and soldiers to chisel a 15-mile ice wall, on the 26th of the first month, Wu Nage attacked Juehua Island with cavalry, the Ming army because of "chiseling the ice and cold, neither armor, weapons, nor sailors, can not withstand the war, and is outnumbered", and finally all the troops died, and the gold soldiers burned the city to hoard grain.

At that time, the guard general Jin Guan had just died, and his son Jin Shiqi and 800 people went to Juehua Island to welcome the coward, and also fought against the Houjin army, and all of them were killed.

More than 10,000 soldiers and civilians on the island were killed by the Houjin army, more than 80,000 stones of grain and grass and more than 2,000 ships were burned, and the logistics base outside the Ming Dynasty was also destroyed by the Houjin army.

At this time, Mao Wenlong sent troops to attack Yongning, the rear of Houjin, and Nurhachi led his troops back to the army, and returned to Shenyang on February 9.

After the defeat of this army, Nurha died of illness in 1626, the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty and the eleventh year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate.

In this battle, Yuan Chonghuan organized the army and the people to clear the wilderness, work together to defend it, eradicate the spies, and use cannons and fire attacks to kill and wound tens of thousands of Houjin troops, thwarting Nurhachi's attempt to occupy Liaoxi and Shanhaiguan, which was a major victory for the Ming Dynasty in the Houjin war.

The soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty re-established their confidence in defeating the Houjin army.

"Records of Ming Xi Zong" recorded: "Ning Yuan's cannon passed everywhere, and it was useless to kill the northern cavalry", "The attack equipment was burned and lost." ”

"Records of Emperor Taizu Gao of the Qing Dynasty" recorded: "Our army on Juehua Island seized the mouth of Hao, attacked it, defeated its soldiers, and beheaded it. There are also two battalions of soldiers, standing on the top of the mountain on the island. Our army rushed in, defeated its soldiers, and annihilated them. burned more than 2,000 of his ships; and the grain that has been accumulated, and there are more than 1,000 houses and houses. ”

"The Later Collection of Shikui Books" recorded: "The cannon passed through, killed the northern cavalry, and the Yellow Dragon Curtain, and injured a king." The northern cavalry said that it was unfavorable to send troops, wrapped the body in leather, and ran away crying. ”

"Ming Ji Beiluo" recorded: "As far as Mars reaches, (the Later Jin Army) is all erosive. ”

"Chunpotang Sun and Moon Record" records: "Han Ming, the translator of our country, entered the court with his mission. It is appropriate to see Chonghuan, Chonghuan is pleased, please borrow the envoys, bring it into its town, and see its battle. Military moderation, though unknown, is quiet in the army. Chonghuan and the three staff members are just chatting with each other. Chonghuan immediately sent an envoy, and prepared Xie said: "The veteran has been rampant in the world for a long time, and he will be defeated by the kid every day, how can he count it!" 'Nurhachi has been seriously wounded, and he is a gift and a famous horse to thank him, please take the opportunity to fight again, and die because of fear. ”

Gao Di Recital: The Battle of Ningyuan "The slave thieves attacked Ningyuan, killed a big leader, wrapped it in red cloth, and carried it away by the thieves. "The four battalions were all defeated, and the Dusi Wang Xiaxe, Ji Shideng, Wu Guoxun, Yao Youxian, the general ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shiqi, Wu Weijin, and the front, left, and rear battalions were all killed."

Cheng Wei reported: "When the captives are coming, every person is broken, and the seven or eight thousand generals and seven or eight thousand businessmen are all ruined. Wang Ao, a new arrival, with a broken bone; The golden crown, the coward of death, has been cut. The hoarding of grain has been burned. ”

The Battle of Ningyuan, on the whole, in terms of tactics, the conclusion of history is that Nurhachi's army defeated Ningyuan.

The battle of Ningyuan between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin ended with the victory of the Ming Dynasty and the defeat of the Later Jin.

The Ming Dynasty went from "Ningyuan was besieged, and the whole country was turbulent", to the news of Ningyuan Jieyin, Jingshi Shishu, and the empty alleys celebrated.

Ningyuan's victory was the first victory of the Ming Dynasty since the fall of Fushun; Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the military department, praised Yuan Chonghuan's exploits to the emperor, saying that "Liaozuo was in trouble, the cities were defeated, and the thieves began to fall in eight years"; It is also a great victory to "curb more than 100,000 strong captives and revitalize the decadence of eight or nine years".

Tomorrow, Emperor Qi said: "There has been nothing in the past seven or eight years, and it is enough to breathe out for the feudal territory!" ”。

On the contrary to the Ming, Nurha Chiyuan discussed Ningyuan City and captured Shanhaiguan, but was unexpectedly defeated by Yuan Chonghuan.

At that time, Yuan Chonghuan was forty-three years old and had his first experience in battle; Nurhachi is 68 years old and riddled with injuries.

Nurhachi suffered the worst defeat in Ningyuan in the 44 years of his army.

In the battle of Ningyuan, the Ming army won a great victory, and Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the military department, praised Yuan Chonghuan's exploits to the emperor.

Liaozuo is in trouble, and the cities are rushing to the wind. Gaiyuan Taoist minister Yuan Chonghuan's usual grace and power are also maintained with deterrence. Otherwise, He Ningyuan is the only one who has no traitors who have seized the door, and there are no treachers who should be inside. This official is wise and brave, and it is advisable to give him an excellent rank, and all foreign affairs are related to the right to be entrusted to him.

After this incident, Yuan Chonghuan was the direct beneficiary, Yuan Chonghuan became a hero of the world, Gao Di asked the court to resign one after another, and it didn't take long for Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, to agree to Gao Di's resignation.

Then Yuan Chonghuan began to rise steadily, and was suddenly promoted to the governor of Liaodong, and then the position of Jiliao Jingluo has been suspended, and Yuan Chonghuan is already the actual governor of Jiliao.

As for the original history, Yuan Chonghuan opened a dynasty in Chongzhen, bragged in front of Chongzhen for five years, and was promoted.

Wei Bao believes that this kind of cowhide is definitely not only blown by Yuan Chonghuan alone.

The reason why Yuan Chonghuan was promoted to become the Jiliao Inspector was an important reason, but if Yuan Chonghuan himself did not occupy this position and did not reach the second-in-command position, the Jiliao Inspector would still not be Yuan Chonghuan's turn.

Since a second-in-command is so confident, then Chongzhen, as the emperor, must have no reason not to let your second-in-command be promoted to one of the first-in-command.

Therefore, Wei Bao is now in a hurry to leave the capital and go back to Liaodong, such a good thing must not be robbed by Yuan Chonghuan.
