[0894 The army of 60,000 entered the customs]
The reason why Wei Bao would not consider letting Wu Xuexia take the position like Fan Xiaolin was mainly because the Wu family was a big family in western Liaoning, and they had very strong strength in the local area, so they didn't trust Wu Xuexia or anything.
Mainly because of Wu Xuexia's character, no matter how strong Wu Xuexia's ability is, she is still more suitable for doing some overall planning secretarial work by his side.
is really placed in a position like Fan Xiaolin, Wu Xuexia is estimated to be crazy in a few days.
Specific management is very boring, but it requires a lot of energy and drive, and you have to constantly use wisdom and keep learning and improving.
"Nurhachi is getting smarter and smarter, and besides, our combat strength has not reached the point of crushing Jiannu. The cavalry was inferior to the other side. As for the army, as long as Jiannu does not die and does not charge head-on, there is really nothing we can do. Wei Bao laughed.
Chang Wuye, Zhang Meiyuan, Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya, Princess Zhenming and others present actually did not know as much about the military strength of the Baojun as President Wei.
Mainly because of the previous battle on the edge of the Hunhe River, tens of thousands of Jiannu were easily killed, which really left a deep impression on everyone.
Everyone felt that when Baojun met Jiannu, they could win the battle casually.
This is also the reason why it is clear that the Baojun cavalry regiment's sneak attack on Jiannu has achieved certain results and has taken advantage of it, but the Baojun cavalry regiment is not happy.
It also did not cause any repercussions within the treasure army.
Because everyone thinks that when the treasure army fights Jiannu, it should win, and it should win every time.
Big wins are normal, otherwise, small wins are not normal, or even a failure.
This is a very bad mood, and Wei Bao doesn't know how to cool down the inside.
You can't deliberately let everyone want to come and come in order to cool down, and also give Jiannu a big head, right?
President Wei asked everyone to step back first, and one person quietly thought about countermeasures against the map.
Wei Bao still wants to achieve peace at the lowest cost.
Until you can easily crush the opponent in the future.
In order to break up the Jiannu offensive, the first thing is to give a group of Mongol tribes controlled by Jiannu the courage to betray Nurhachi.
Not to mention betrayal, at least these people can remain neutral, and it is good to withdraw and send material resources to Jiannu, and manpower to Jiannu.
At the very least, let these people free themselves from the control of the slaves.
This is mainly a psychological getaway, these Mongolian tribes are very close to Jiannu, and they are all tribes that have been chilled by Lin Dan Khan.
In fact, as long as these tribes are united, there is nothing Jiannu can do with them.
Wei Bao also had a headache, hoping that Lin Dan Khan's ability was poor and he couldn't control the situation, and the Mongolian side was scattered.
I also hope that the Mongols will be a little more united, a little stronger, and will not be controlled by Jiannu.
The confrontation between the three parties is very easy to have such entanglements.
In the twenty-first year of Wanli, in September 1593, the 4 divisions of Haixi Yehe, Hada, Wula, and Huifa, combined with the 3 divisions of Horqin, Xibe, and Gualecha in Mongolia, as well as the 2 divisions of Zhusheli and Neyin in Changbai Mountain, gathered more than 30,000 troops, and attacked Jianzhou in three ways.
The Nine Coalition Forces camped on the north bank of the Hunhe River and advanced south to the area of Zakhaguan and Gule Mountain.
Together with his younger brother Ming'an and Hunger, Manggus followed the chieftain of the Korqin tribe to participate in the battle of the "Nine-Part Coalition Army Crusade against Nurhachi".
After the defeat, he was forced to negotiate peace with Nurhachi.
Nurhachi then adopted the "Huairou policy" and sent a special envoy to communicate with the Horqin Mongols, so the Mongol Belmanggus came to meet with Jiannu.
In order to strengthen their will, the concubines selected beautiful women as their wives and married them.
Manggus also married his daughter Erdun Qiqige, commonly known as Zhezhe, and later became the first mother of the Great Qing Dynasty, Empress Xiaoduanwen, married to the eighth son of Nurhachi, Emperor Taiji, and further married his sons and daughters.
Buhe's two daughters are: the eldest daughter Hai Lanzhu, commonly known as Hari Zhula, Wu Youdai, married to Huang Taiji at the age of 26 in 1634, and was named the concubine of Guan Ju Palace in 1636.
The second daughter Bumu Butai, known as her great jade in the wild history, is the Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, one of the "Chongde Five Palaces" of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, the biological mother of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, and the grandmother of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, assisting the two emperors of Shunzhi Kangxi, and making a certain contribution to the stability of the early Qing Dynasty.
Wei Bao had already seen Da Yu'er before, and his impression of him was very average, and his main appearance was not high, hehe.
And the personality is a slightly northern woman, and she speaks very directly, like a sharp knife.
Wei Bao doesn't like this way of getting along, it's better to beat around the bush between people, it's better to be mellow and secretive.
These Korqin and Nekhalkha tribes are not on good terms with Lin Dan Khan, in addition to Lin Dan Khan's domineering, internal harshness, and weakness towards Jiannu, they have no responsibility, and because of Lin Dan Khan's sectarian problems.
Wei Bao couldn't figure out why Lin Dan Khan was converted, at least from the perspective of a political figure, Wei Bao couldn't figure it out.
As a political head, you must be thinking about how to maintain your rule, you are not a small person.
You can't just change what you want, you can do whatever you want, and you can only do things according to your personal preferences.
Political leaders need to give more consideration to the will of the people.
Gelugpa, Yellow Sect, founded in 1409, was formed by Tsongkhapa, a famous religious reformer in the history of Tibetan Buddhism in the 15th century, in the process of implementing religious reform, and it is also the latest sect to form in Tibetan Buddhism.
When Tsongkha Kham's Pazhu regime replaced the Sakya regime in Tibet, the upper-class monks not only directly participated in the struggle for political and economic power, but also lived a decadent life and gradually lost the support of the people in society.
In response to this situation, Tsongkhapa called for attaching importance to the precepts, preaching the scriptures and teachings everywhere, writing books and sayings, criticizing monks for not keeping the precepts, and actively promoting the reform of Tibetan Buddhism.
In the first month of the Tibetan calendar in 1409, he initiated the Great Prayer Festival at the Jokhang Monastery in Lhasa, which is the Great Prayer Ceremony that has been handed down to this day.
After the puja, Tsongkhapa built the famous Gaden Monastery and established the Gelug sect that strictly observes the precepts.
Gelug, the Tibetan word means good law.
Because Tsongkhapa and his followers wear yellow monk's hats, it is also commonly known as the Yellow Sect.
After the establishment of the Yellow Sect, Drepung Monastery, Sera Monastery, Tashilhunpo Monastery, Taal Monastery and Labrang Monastery were established one after another, and they were called the six major monasteries of the Gelug sect together with Ganden Monastery.
In addition, the Yellow Sect also created the two largest systems of reincarnation of living Buddhas in the Panchen.
The Nyingma sect, the Red Sect, was formed in the 11th century A.D. and is one of the earliest sects of Tibetan Buddhism.
Because the sect absorbs and retains a large number of its own religious colors, attaches importance to finding and excavating the scriptures hidden by the Buddhists when Langdarma destroyed the Buddha, and believes that the Buddhism it promotes is handed down from the Tibetan era in the 8th century AD, so it is ancient, so it is called Nyingma.
Nyingma, Tibetan means ancient, old.
In addition, the monks of this sect only wear red monks' hats, so it is also called the Red Sect.
The Red Sect is mainly based on tantric practice, and its thinking is influenced by Chinese Buddhism, which is similar to the mainland Shan Buddhism's "clear mind and insight" theory.
Lin Dan Khan believed in Tibetan Buddhism and devoted his life to the cause of Buddhism, which not only promoted the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the left-wing 30,000 households, but also made certain contributions to Mongolian culture.
In 1604, Lin Dan Khan, who had just ascended the throne, received the ordination of the Gelug sect and the Yellow Sect from the Yellow Lama such as Maidali Hutuktu and Choni Kuierji, who were sent by the Fourth Dalai Lama to Mongolia to take charge of the teachings.
In 1617, the Tibetan Sakya monk Shalkhutuktu arrived in Mongolia to find his supporters, and Lindan Khan was impressed by the magic of Shalhutuktu, and made him a national teacher, and received the empowerment of the Esoteric Tantra, so Lindan Khan converted from the Yellow Sect to the Red Sect.
In the narrow sense, the Red Sect refers only to the Nyingma sect, and in the broad sense, it includes the Sakya and Kagyu sects.
In order to gain the trust of Lin Dan Khan, Shalhu Tuketu took the Maha Kala Golden Buddha cast by the Sakya Lama of the Sakya Sect of the Yuan Dynasty from Wutai Mountain, also known as the Great Black Heaven, which was the protector of the country of Mengyuan.
Lin Dan Khan built a golden-roofed white temple in Chahanhot and offered the golden Buddha to it. Lin Dan Khan tried to emulate the story of Kublai Khan and Phags-pa, using his relationship with Shahrhutuktu to establish his authority.
However, it backfired, exacerbating the centrifugation of the Mongol tribes who believed in the Yellow Sect and weakening the appeal of Lin Dan Khan.
Obviously, there are far more people who believe in the Yellow Sect than those who believe in the Red Sect, and this kind of change of sect does not push most people out.
If Wei Bao chooses, he is willing to be neutral, respects both the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect, and does not show his personal beliefs, it is estimated that it will be much better than the current situation.
The next day, President Wei sent all five infantry brigades of the Shanhaiguan Military Region out, and transferred a brigade from Weijiazhuang to guard the Shanhaiguan City.
More than 30,000 people, the pace was neat, and the mighty exit attracted a large number of onlookers.
"I've never seen so many people out of the gate, Lord Wei is different."
"If you want me to say, only Lord Wei in the Ming Dynasty is really for the court and the people, these people are all Lord Wei's people, and the guards in the past did not have so many people, and they were reluctant to send them out."
"I'm afraid there are fifty or sixty thousand people here, right?"
"Seventy or eighty thousand is less."
"It feels like there are 100,000 troops!"
Five brigades, and one cavalry regiment that had already been out of the customs ahead of schedule, was actually only a little over 30,000.
But the Baojun marched neatly and majesticly, giving the impression that there were many of them, and they were endless.
This kind of momentum, not to mention that the common people have never seen it, nor have the officials and generals of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion seen it.
Before, they privately discussed that Wei Bao controlled military power just for personal gain, but now these people have nothing to say.
Because Wei Bao really took out men and horses to fight, fighting a war is burning money, and the imperial court is most afraid of raising an army, raising a lot of troops, but often does not dare to move.
Because in the old days, the army, no matter which dynasty, had a bad habit, that is, to mobilize the army, you had to first pay a large amount of money.
This was the case until the Republic of China.
But the Baojun does not have this problem, whether the Baojun is in wartime or peacetime, the soldiers have a salary income, and they are never in arrears.
There is no extra money to be given for fighting, but if you fight, it is easy to make meritorious service, and military merit medals come with rich rewards.
Generally, individual honors are not emphasized, and collective meritorious service is generally awarded at the company, battalion and regiment levels.
For individuals with outstanding performance, regimental or brigade-level units will be rewarded for individual contributions.
"Xiaobao, how many people have you sent out?" Sun Chengzong watched it for the first time this time, and accompanied Wei Bao to see off the army.
"All the troops! I also dropped the Zhuang Ding of Weijiazhuang to protect Shanhaiguan. Wei Bao said.
"All the people were sent out? That's not sixty thousand? Sun Chengzong was secretly surprised.
Wei Bao didn't say tens of thousands, in Wei Bao's opinion, his more than 30,000 people far exceeded the 100,000 people of the Ming army!
In Wei Bao's view, one treasure army is worth four to five Ming troops.
Even in cold weapon battles, Wei Bao is confident that the treasure army also has this quality advantage.
Except for a small number of troops in the Ming army, such as the men and horses led by Cao Wenzhao, they can be closer to the quality of the Bao army.
But this kind of is very rare, and there is still a gap in proximity.
Wei Bao believed that there would be no problem in casually transferring 500 people from the garrison headquarters level of the Bao Army, and fighting Cao Wenzhao's army of 1,000 people.
In ancient times, wars still relied on the quality of the troops themselves, not as filmed in film and television dramas, where a general coaxed him, he killed wherever he went, followed by a bunch of small soldiers who were only responsible for waving flags and shouting and cheering.
As for the troops, these five brigades are uniformly armed with shields and spears, and there are basically no archers.
The treasure army does not practice bows and arrows.
Among them, the direct guard units at the brigade level carried a small number of grenades.
"Xiaobao, you sent everyone out, this is to find Jiannu to fight to the death?" Sun Chengzong asked. Seeing Wei Bao's attack on Jiannu like this, Sun Chengzong let go of some of Wei Bao's feelings in his heart, and used Xiaobao's close name.
Wei Bao glanced at Sun Chengzong and said with a smile: "Otherwise, is it true that I sent out the army in the past?" ”
"What you said, I have never thought about it like this, and you don't want to be swayed by those gossips, Daming is like this, there are few people who do things, there are many people who gossip, and there are fewer people who are talking about it in the past? You can do it yourself with a clear conscience. Sun Chengzong said.
"Teacher, you are still in office. In addition, I am just a prison army, I do this, not for a clear conscience, I am worthy of anyone, I only hope to reduce the burden of the court, reduce the burden of the common people, and use the least amount of silver to stabilize the frontier. Since it is not possible to solve the problem of Jiannu at one time, it is better to be content with the status quo. Spend a lot but not much, a little and a lot of silver, except for fattening the wine bag and rice bag that fishes in troubled waters, what is the use? Wei Bao's voice was not small, and the officials and generals behind Sun Chengzong heard it.
Even the few big eunuchs and Gao Di who had just rushed over heard it.
Wei Bao's words were actually deliberately said to everyone.
Wei Bao is not so great, he took out five brigades to fight with Jiannu, and Wei Bao let these brigades go out and pretend.
Didn't Jiannu go out together with the four-way army?
Wei Bao simply sent a five-way army to go out together.
Let's not talk about whether you can fight or not, anyway, you won't lose to Jiannu in terms of momentum.
Wei Bao knew that Nurhachi wanted to use the long-term promotion of force on the ground in Liaodong to restore his hegemony in the region, so that the Mongols and the Ming army and the border army could see his strength.
Wei Bao sent out five brigades, and if Jiannu didn't dare to fight, it would mean that Jiannu's hand was pretending.
Wei Bao didn't feel how ashamed it was to be beaten into the house.
Moreover, Wei Bao believed that as long as his army was sent out, he could exert strong psychological pressure on Jiannu.
Although he handed out a message from his side, saying that he only used grenades, not rifles and artillery, this initiative was always in his own hands.
Just like in later generations, the big countries that possess nuclear weapons cannot use nuclear weapons casually, although they have entered into various agreements to restrain each other.
But when a nuclear-armed power and other countries get up, they will certainly be full of confidence.
If there is only one big country in the world that has nuclear weapons, then there is no need to ask, it must be the boss of the bosses, and no one will shake the status.
Wei Bao's current rifles and cannons, although they are not very powerful, the number is not large, and the ammunition is even more scarce, but no one has a more powerful weapon than him.
And both rifles and cannons have already shown their power in real combat.
Otherwise, Jiannu would not have spent money and sent so many cavalry over in the winter, just to show off his strength, which is completely inconsistent with the style of Jiannu sending troops just to loot in the past.
"Yes, if this battle is won, no one will ever say anything about disarmament again. Moreover, no one will have any doubts about your Lord Wei as Ji Liao's home. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Sun Chengzong said.
"Hehe, teacher, Ji Liao is the master of you and Lord Gao, don't you dare to say that, isn't it, Lord Gao?" Wei Bao smiled at Sun Chengzong and Gao Di respectively.
"Don't say that, the lord's words are serious, I can't afford it. I completely rely on Lord Wei and Master Overseer, and I'll just give you two a shot. Gao Di hurriedly said humbly: "Inspector Sun is a famous teacher and a high apprentice, Master Inspector is a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and Lord Wei is the most convincing rising star in the Ming military circle." ”
If you don't want to be humble, you can't do it, Gao Di knows that he has neither the prestige of Sun Chengzong nor the strength of Wei Bao, what is he?
However, Gao Di was in a very good mood during this time, and he was originally a little dissatisfied with Wei Bao, but seeing that Wei Bao was so powerful, there was nothing to be unconvinced, and Wei Bao has always been not fighting for credit, and he respects him very much.
At least in Gaudí's opinion, Wei Bao respects himself.
"Master Gao, when you say this, I have no place to be ashamed." Wei Bao said with a smile: "Don't say polite words, I invite you adults to drink, the battle ahead must be fought, and we can't leave behind eating and drinking." ”
Several big eunuchs said yes again and again, and they all said that Lord Wei was the most general, and he should be the most handsome.
Sun Chengzong felt that a few eunuchs were insinuating him, and snorted unhappily.
Wei Bao really doesn't understand these people, he doesn't know what to fight, he fights all day long, is he getting money or how to drop?
With so much effort, it's better to think about doing things well, getting more money and power, and enjoying life more.
