【0858 Mine Warfare】
Wei Bao didn't hesitate much when he was considering peace talks with Jiannu, Wei Bao really wanted the peace talks to succeed, he didn't want Jiannu to hinder his own development, and he didn't want to fight with Jiannu.
Because Wei Bao knows the historical process, the point of worry is not on the Jiannu side, but within the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the Ming Dynasty's two-front battle made it impossible to focus attention on one place.
The resources were not enough to support the country, and the two sides were bloodletting together, and no matter how strong the physique was, it had to fall.
The peasant army was on the verge of despair several times under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, all of which coincided with the Qing army's attack on Jingji again, so it was able to resume development, and finally the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the peasant army to break through the capital.
On the battlefield of Liaodong, Chongzhen's fourteen-year defeat in the Battle of Songjin made it "lose the elite of the Nine Stops".
More than 100,000 elite troops were killed on the battlefield, and only the 30,000 infantry and cavalry mixed formation belonging to Wu Sangui was left in Liaodong, and the Guanning defense line completely collapsed.
Only the lonely Shanhaiguan remains.
It also made the Ming Dynasty lose the last complete elite troops.
Of course, under the circumstances at that time, it was difficult to avoid a two-front battle. Lack of financial resources, unable to appease, and negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty, a violation of the ancestral teachings.
Second, the sincerity of the Qing side is also questionable.
Song Yin Jian was in front of him, so there was probably no way out for peace.
The conflict between the new economic factors and the old national capital is also becoming more and more serious, with the implementation of the "One Whip Law" and the pacification of the Japanese and the relaxation of the "sea ban".
In the late Ming Dynasty, new economic factors continued to develop in the southeast, the so-called "germ of capitalism".
The vigorous development of industry and commerce in the Jiangnan region will inevitably exist in conflict with the traditional agriculture as the foundation of the country.
During the Wanli period, Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong solved the problem of insufficient treasury and insufficient consumption of the court. The predatory taxation of "mine tax inspectors" to collect wealth in all directions, which brought disaster to the country and the people, was strongly resisted by industrialists and businessmen in the developed areas of the southeast.
The resistance of the industrialists and businessmen and the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has even reached the level of armed confrontation.
The popular uprising that broke out in the Suzhou area of Nanzhizhili in the 29th year of Wanli is one example.
The rise of the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty supported the development of the new economy to a certain extent.
Among its ideological propositions, there is also "industry and commerce are all the foundation", and they oppose the large-scale taxation of commerce.
Li Sancai, the prefect of Fengyang, a member of the Donglin Party, strongly opposed this kind of behavior.
In the later period, the Donglin Party demanded a reduction in taxes on industrial and commercial workers, which on the one hand protected the development of industry and commerce, but on the other hand, it also indirectly moved the "national capital".
The country is the foundation of the feudal system, that is, the country is based on agriculture.
The reduction of taxes on industry and commerce, resulting in a single type of tax, inevitably reduces the revenue of the state treasury and increases the taxation of agriculture.
The later "three salaries" accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
"If the tax is not levied in the southeast, it must be taxed in the northwest", the popular uprising on the Loess Plateau is not only caused by natural disasters, but if the country is strong and the policy is appropriate, it will never cause such a large-scale uprising.
The results of the Ming and Qing dynasties eventually led to the setback of the new economic factors in Jiangnan.
Although the Manchurians still developed after entering the customs, they were subject to many fundamental restrictions on their development.
This involves the cyclical rate of economic development in ancient China.
This phenomenon of new economic factors emerging and prospering and eventually failing to break through the shackles of agriculture and dying has occurred at least three times in China.
For the first time, during the reign of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, under the high development of the traditional economy, many new economic factors were produced in all walks of life.
However, Tang Xuanzong failed to make use of it and failed to give it a systematic supporting construction that was adapted to the system.
Rather, it is just a hasty response and the setting of taxes for the corresponding industries.
The ensuing outbreak of the "Anshi Rebellion" caused social and economic regression, and the new economy was greatly weakened in the war. The possible contradiction between the new economic factors and the agricultural capital has been eliminated in the bud.
The Anshi Rebellion was also a turning point in traditional Chinese society.
The second appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, the social and economic development of the Song Dynasty was good, the citizen economy was quite developed, and various trades and new things to serve the citizen class continued to appear and develop.
The emergence of Jiaozi, Feiqian, and Wazi, the popularization of movable type printing, the prosperity of the storytelling industry, and the emergence of the "Fangguo household" as a separate household in the corresponding household registration system.
The great prosperity of the city and the prosperity of overseas trade all reflect the arrival of new economic factors.
The "Law of Exemption from Military Duty" and the "Law of Equal Loss" that appeared in the "Wang Anshi Reform" all reflect the requirements of the new situation.
The "Market Change Law" can be said to be the prototype of the state's use of the financial industry.
This change can be said to be an opportunity for China to enter modern times.
However, after all, the timing is still not very ripe, and agriculture is still absolutely dominant in the economy.
The provisions of the law are old-fashioned, the conservatives and reformers are old-fashioned, the emperor is old-fashioned, and the ideology is old-fashioned, and the original system, ideology, and socio-economic conditions of the entire society are generally in line with the old system, and a small number of immature "emerging" ideas are quickly submerged.
As for the problems that have arisen in the practice of changing the law, it is even more obvious that they bear the deep imprint of the old system.
It is also extremely inappropriate to expect the ancients to transcend the limitations of the times. It can only be said that this is the inevitability of the historical environment.
After the failure of Wang Anshi's reform, the Jingkang Revolution led to the entry of backward nationalities into the Central Plains, which made the contradiction between agriculture and the new economy once again forcibly resolved.
Because the new economy was greatly weakened by the long war and the subsequent rule of backward peoples, its cornerstone, agriculture, also suffered a temporary decline.
The second new economic factor failed to break through the agricultural economy.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the third new economic factor once again developed to the point of conflict with the agrarian economy, and this time it was the most acute, because it produced the germ of capitalism, but after all, it did not break through the agrarian economic system.
Because the development of the traditional economy is divided into two lines.
The new economic factors are built on the basis of the highly developed agricultural economy, and according to historical experience, the development of the agricultural economy will inevitably lead to a high concentration of the means of production and the annexation of land, and the emergence of the new economic factors is nothing but a by-product brought about by the development of the agricultural economy.
The great land annexation led to social unrest, and the result of social unrest was the destruction of the fragile new economy.
The subsequent entry of the Qing army into the customs once again exacerbated this result, and the new economy was once again restricted.
In short, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was, to a certain extent, a cyclical contradiction in the agrarian economy.
Economic development, land annexation, intensification of social contradictions, turmoil, economic recession, and redevelopment.
The result is the same as the cyclical rate of the capitalist economic crisis.
Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty became another applicator of this law, the last victim of this chain.
"The indemnity is four million taels, and the Qinghe River must be opened for trade purposes, and Wei Bao's army will be allowed to be stationed, what should they be? Are we the masters of the Manchurians? Huang Taiji said angrily: "Father Khan, when I got this treaty, I didn't plan to show it to Father Khan." ”
"No more talking!" Nurhachi said decisively: "Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, I order you to lead 30,000 elite iron cavalry, with Huang Taiji as the commander, and then fight Wei Bao's soldiers and horses, you must defeat them and let them know that we are full of people!" ”
"Yes, Father Khan!" Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji agreed together.
The three of them immediately received the order and left Shenyang City, each with their own elite soldiers.
"Huang Taiji, you have always been resourceful, how can we fight this time?" Dai Shan asked worriedly.
The three of them were very brave in front of Nurhachi, and they all had the attitude of fighting with the treasure army.
But now there is no need to pretend, the biggest contrast in performance is Mang Gurtai.
Mang Gurtai sighed and said, "Ask Huang Taiji, what good ideas can Huang Taiji have?" Rush with the troops! Our three-way army will fight together from three directions, as long as one of them breaks through the defense of Wei Bao's army, it will win, and if it can't be broken, it will be the same fate as a living target. ”
Although neither Mang Gultai nor Dai Shan had much experience fighting the Bao Army, they were not ignorant of the Bao Army's firearms.
As long as the firearms of the Ming army are calculated with thirty times the power, the combat effectiveness of the treasure army can be obtained.
The breech guns of the Ming army were all stone-fired and iron-egged, and they didn't know if they could kill a person if they could be killed when a cannon was fired.
As long as the treasure army hits the dense crowd of Jiannu with one shot, it is really not impossible to kill thirty people.
Huang Taiji thought about it, and he really didn't have any good way.
"You can't rush hard, the facts have proven it, it's not a way to rush head-on, our soldiers and horses are not as good as Yang Guli, and Yang Guli is definitely not bad at fighting, you all know this!" Huang Tai Chi Dao.
"So what do you say?" Mang Gurtai glared at Huang Taiji.
"Brother, Father Khan asked us to fight this time, and he didn't clearly say how to fight, let's keep in mind that this trip, there must be no more dead people." Huang Tai Chi Dao.
"Undead, a long siege? I'm afraid that my father Khan will think that we are not doing things well. Dai Shan said: "I actually agree with Yang Guli's statement, to deal with this kind of army with powerful firearms, it is not a way to fight head-on, you can only send a small group of elite cavalry to attack on the periphery and trap them!" ”
"You can't afford not to fight." Mang Gurtai said: "Father Khan is under the fury of the long-term attack, this must not be hit until the Year of the Monkey?" ”
"It's like playing chess, we have a team on the front, and the two groups of people are camping on the flanks! Besiege the enemy in a zigzag pattern, and wait for them to come and fight us! Set up camp now. Huang Taiji smiled and said, "In this way, I will see how they can replenish their supplies, and my Tanma has reported that Wei Bao's army has already transported most of the grain, grass and fire after taking Yanguli's camp." If they are to hold out for a long time, they must wait for the people by the river to deliver supplies. ”
"This one is fine!" Dai Shan responded: "That's it." ”
"We'll have to wait a few days, right? What if we set up camp and Wei Bao's men and horses are not in a hurry to attack? Can Father Khan wait," Mang Gultai asked.
"Father Khan can definitely wait!" Huang Taiji replied firmly: "As long as we don't die, as long as we win." Moreover, within three days at the latest, Wei Bao's people will definitely not be able to wait to open up the supply line. If my judgment is correct, they will attack us as soon as we show signs of camping. ”
Mang Gurtai nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, you are the commander, listen to you." ”
Dai Shan also nodded, and the three of them agreed.
Dai Shan is the most stable in doing things, Huang Taiji let Mang Gurtai be responsible for the front camp, and he led people and Dai Shan around, and let Dai Shan listen to his orders.
Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan also have no opinion.
"Brother, if we don't fight with Wei Bao's soldiers and horses, you must not rashly attack the enemy army, you know?" Huang Taiji said uneasily: "If you attack rashly, we have to come to the rescue, and then the formation will be chaotic." ”
"Then if the enemy doesn't fight you two and comes to fight me, will I stand still?" Mang Gurtai didn't have a good airway.
Suspecting that the emperor Taiji was too wide, he actually came to command himself.
"If Wei Bao's people don't beat the two of us, but instead beat my brother, please lead my brother to retreat to Shengjing City!" Huang Tai Chi Dao.
"That must not! Let me retreat without a fight, I can't do such a thing as a reckless Gurtai! Mang Gurtai said angrily.
Huang Taiji was helpless, and deliberately let Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan be exchanged, but he was afraid that Mang Gurtai would also not obey his orders when the time came.
Dai Shan said to Mang Gurtai angrily: "If you want to withdraw, you will withdraw!" Dealing with the enemy, how can you retreat without a fight? ”
Dai Shan was older than Mang Gurtai, and Mang Gurtai didn't dare to reply, and hummed sullenly.
Huang Taiji sighed, and it could only be like this.
Instead of letting Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan switch places, it is better to let Mang Gurtai himself.
Huang Taiji felt that Wei Bao's army was unlikely to attack Mang Gurtai first.
The trio split up.
Madman Tan immediately received the news.
The sentinel reported the movements of the Jiannu Three-Way Army to the madman Tan.
Madman Tan thought about it in front of the map and said with a smile: "Jiannu is Jiannu, the idea is really simple, how can I let them surround it?" ”
The chief of staff of the madman Tan said: "Master, you can't be careless, Jiannu's trick is quite tricky, it seems that we are afraid of being beaten in the front, and we dare not attack our camp head-on." ’
Madman Tan smiled: "I wish they were playing tricks, our ammunition is already insufficient, and there is no heavy artillery in the camp, only a small number of grenadiers, if the enemy's 30,000 troops attack head-on from three sides, we are really not good at defending." It's an open field, not as good as a river, and you just have to think about the enemy forces in front of you. ”
"What are you going to do?" The chief of staff asked.
Madman Tan said to Wan Daxi: "Daxi, you can talk about it." ”
Wan Daxi has been promoted from company commander to regiment commander, and he is already a middle and senior commander in the treasure army.
"Fight this way, make a posture of attacking Jiannu Shenyang City, and force the other two ways to come to the rescue. We don't have enough ammunition and no artillery, so we can only use the black fire we have brought, and we can create a minefield. Wan Da said with joy.
Madman Tan was very happy after hearing Wan Daxi's words, and praised: "There is progress, which is similar to what I thought!" However, instead of creating a minefield, it is a minefield on all sides! Let's go in and out slowly, be careful, as long as Jiannu dare to enter our minefield, we will beat them! You're in charge! ”
After that, Maniac Tan marked four areas on the map.
