Because it is not that capitalism is inherently strong and inherently stronger than the feudal system.

It still depends on the degree of matching between the system and the current social situation.

Rigidly fitting a tractor with an airplane engine is not necessarily good.

In addition, the relationship between Heaven and Earth and Daming is not that of parents and children.

Heaven and Earth will be created by Lord Wei, and it has nothing to do with Da Ming.

The capitalist system of the Tiandihui and the highly centralized system of the monarchy of the Ming Dynasty have no such generative relationship, and it is not the relationship between parents and children at all.

Heaven and Earth will be something that has been made out under the strong rise of Lord Wei.

It's like the Monkey King born out of thin air.

The rights, contracts, and awareness of the rule of law required by the market economy are the natural enemies of authoritarianism, and the premature death of the "budding capitalism" in the Ming and Qing dynasties is inevitable.

Since the society of the Ming Dynasty could not produce capitalism, it naturally could not produce the bourgeoisie and the burghers, and the bourgeoisie.

Naturally, bourgeois democratic constitutionalism could not be produced, which shows from the composition of social classes that there is no soil for democratic constitutionalism in China's highly centralized system of monarchy.

It is impossible for those in power to hand over power.

Seeing that Liu Dahe was very happy, Zhuo Li Ketu agreed to be willing to join the Ming border army, and was very happy, and hurriedly asked his son Zhuo Temur to invite Cao Wenzhao's men and horses over.

Cao Wenzhao didn't know Liu Dahe, and Liu Dahe didn't know Cao Wenzhao.

Liu Dahe had heard of Cao Wenzhao because Cao Wenzhao had a certain reputation among the Ming border army.

Cao Wenzhao has never even heard of Liu Dahe, that is because the Bao Army is relatively low-key, not to mention the generals at the level of the regiment commander, not to mention the generals at the level of the head of the Bao Army, that is, to Tan Madman and Hou San, this kind of generals at the level of army division commanders, most of the generals of the Daming Border Army, and the people in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion have not heard of it, only the people in the Tiandihui or the areas under the rule of the Tiandihui know some.

The people in the area under the rule of the Heaven and Earth Society have at most heard of generals at the level of Tan Madman and Hou San, and they don't know it when they reach the level of brigade commander and regiment commander.

The general reason is that Lord Wei advocates a modern army building system, highlighting the team, focusing on logistics support, and not highlighting individual heroism.

"The two generals must know each other, right? You two are both under the control of Lord Wei, right? Zorictu laughed.

Liu Dahe smiled, didn't say anything, and hugged Cao Wenzhao.

The Baojun only has insiders to greet and salute, and it is still in line with the Ming Dynasty externally.

Tiebatu and the rest of the generals of the treasure army also bowed their hands.

Cao Wenzhao and several of his subordinates also bowed their hands.

Cao Wenzhao himself is just a guerrilla general, and Cao Wenzhao's subordinates are all at the level of ten chiefs, and they are not even generals.

The temperament of the two sides is also very different, and the generals of the Baojun generally appear to be more energetic and energetic.

Cao Wenzhao and his subordinates are also good, especially Cao Wenzhao, who has a mighty general's demeanor.

But people on both sides stand together, and without looking at the clothes, it is easy to distinguish which are the generals of the Bao Army and which are the generals of the Ming Border Army.

Zhuo Liktu looked at the appearance of the two sides, and felt that he had said something wrong, the people on both sides should be very unfamiliar, and they didn't know each other, so he hurriedly said: "If you can come to help us, we are all good friends, General Cao, please take a seat." ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded and sat down with his subordinates.

Zhuo Liktu hurriedly helped introduce the two sides: "This is General Liu of the cavalry of the Bao Army, and this is General Cao of the Jizhou Army." ”

"I have admired the daimyo for a long time." Liu Dahe smiled at Cao Wenzhao.

"Don't dare to be, I know that there are not many people in the treasure army, I only know Lord Wei, Lord Wei has the grace of knowing the soldiers and horses guarding Qian'an, and gave us a lot of silver and food, so I have thousands of people, otherwise it has not been full, there are only three or four hundred people. So this time Lord Wei has an order, and we respond immediately. Cao Wen said.

Liu Dahe smiled and nodded, "I'm afraid you are the only one in the Jizhou Army who responds to the lord's order." Admire. ”

Zhuo Liktu also sighed: "Thank you General Cao for coming over the long journey, we are very grateful. ”

"You can't blame the other armies, after all, we are the only ones who have a few cavalry." Cao Wenzhao said: "The others are just infantry troops, and there are a small number of chariots, and when they go out of the Great Wall, they are useless, and they are not necessarily Jiannu's opponents." ”

"You can't say that, it's courage that counts." Liu Dahe said with a smile.

Liu Dahe's original intention was to praise Cao Wenzhao for his courage.

But Cao Wenzhao was not very happy after hearing this, "General Liu, your treasure army is well-equipped and brave in battle, which is admired below, but if you want to look down on the courage of my Jizhou army, you can't say it." ”

Liu Dahe was stunned, is there something wrong with your brain? When did I say that the courage of the Jizhou Army is gone? Didn't I praise you for your courage? Co-authoring your courage is to belittle the courage of the Jizhou army?

"General Cao, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Liu Dahedao: "The border army is all good, we are all under the same lord, we are all our own people, how can I look down on the Jizhou army." ”

Cao Wenzhao didn't want to have a dislike with the generals of the Baojun army, so he pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, but he was very unhappy in his heart.

Cao Wenzhao was a little unaccustomed to Liu Dahe, but it was not all because of Liu Dahe's words.

But Cao Wenzhao and others were a little unhappy when they saw Liu Dahe and other generals of the treasure army, which can be seen from the costumes of both sides.

The generals of the treasure army were dressed in thick cotton clothes and long riding boots, all of which were leather, as well as belts around their waists.

Anyway, if you look at it, you know that it is a rich army.

And on Cao Wenzhao's side, even Cao Wenzhao's pro-soldiers and cronies are very shabby, and even the cloth armor is patched.

The people on both sides are put together, which clearly reflects the gap between rural and urban areas.

Coupled with the Baojun Lianke Jiannu, it was the time when the momentum was strong.

In recent years, the Ming border army has been defeated repeatedly against both the Jiannu and the Mongols, and there is no comparison between the two sides in terms of fighters.

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao will naturally have preconceived ideas and feel that the other party looks down on him.

Cao Wenzhao has no resume, no background, from a small soldier to a generation of generals, from Xiong Yanbi to Sun Chengzong, from Nurhachi to Amin, and finally killed himself surrounded by the rebel army, and his nephew also died in the battle for the country later.

Lord Wei knew Cao Wenzhao in modern times, mainly because he admired his belief that the national crisis was at the head and the eldest husband should be shrouded in horse leather.

To borrow a sentence from Hong Chengchou's evaluation, the good generals in the world are unparalleled in the world.

Of course, powerful people are generally more arrogant, so they will unconsciously reveal it.

After all, Liu Dahe is the commander of the Bao Army, not only has some ability to lead troops to fight, but also observes words and feelings, and is not bad at interpersonal relationships.

When Liu Dahe saw Cao Wenzhao bowing his head and drinking and no longer talking, he knew that he had inadvertently offended Cao Wenzhao.

Liu Dahe had to smile bitterly, he didn't think he had anything wrong, but he secretly thought that the other party was really too small-minded, isn't this nothing to do?

Not to mention that Liu Dahe couldn't figure out why Cao Wenzhao was suddenly unhappy, even the Mongols such as Zhuoliktu and Zhuotemur, who were watching from the sidelines, were inexplicable, and they couldn't figure out why the two sides had just met, so why did it seem a little unpleasant?

Originally, whether the Bao army and the generals of the Ming army dealt with each other or not, it was not about Zhuo Liktu.

But Droiktu thought that he would have to rely on these two support armies to help defend against the enemy tomorrow, so he had to speak, "Two generals, can you discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy tomorrow?" Tomorrow, the Eight Banners will definitely continue to hunt down and kill the various tribes of our Inner Khalkha. ”

Liu Dahe originally wanted to speak, but he was afraid that this Cao Wenzhao would be idle, so he simply smiled and said: "Let General Cao say it, I can say it here, you and General Cao can say whatever you think, everyone is under the command of Lord Wei, if there is any difficulty, try your best to help." ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Liktu hurriedly nodded, secretly thinking that this General Liu had the bearing and could speak.

Cao Wenzhao was also not polite, and asked Zhuo Liktu: "How many of you can resist Jiannu?" ”

"Twenty-five or six thousand people who can fight." Zorictu said honestly.

"Why are there only so many people? When I came here just now, I probably looked at your tent, and it wasn't difficult for you to make up 1230,000 people, right? With so many people, it takes an army of 30,000 or 40,000. Jiannu came to chase you, there are more than 10,000 people, 30,000 or 40,000 people fight more than 10,000 people, even if there are no reinforcements, there is no big problem, right? Cao Wen said.

Hearing this, Zhuo Liktu frowned, not knowing what to say, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and felt that the other party was too polite to speak.

In fact, Cao Wenzhao's estimate was good, at the beginning of the Inner Khalkha there were 30,000 or 40,000 strong men who could defend against the enemy, but after a day of fighting, nearly 10,000 people died. It was only after so many people died that two or three thousand Jiannu were killed or injured is a very shameful thing.

Originally, Zhuo Liktu didn't plan to say this, but Cao Wenzhao asked so directly, and people came to help, so he couldn't get around it without saying it.

Not only was Zoriktu unhappy, but so were the leaders and generals of the Inner Kharkha.

Cao Wenzhao is indeed a person who can't speak, and it is easy to offend people, otherwise there would be no tragic ending.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, in the first month of 1633, Cao Wenzhao arrived in Huozhou, defeated the peasant army in Fenhe and Yuxian, and pursued to Shouyang with victory.

Governor Xu Dingchen sent his adviser Zhang Zai to try to fight the peasant army before the army arrived, but the thieves were frightened and retreated.

In February, Cao Wenzhao pursued them and killed the king of Chaoshi in Bixia Village, and the remaining peasant army was driven away by a fierce tiger, and met Cao Wenzhao's army at Fangshan, and was defeated again, and the thieves in Wutai, Yuxian, Dingxiang, and Shouyang were all pacified.

Xu Dingchen ordered Cao Wenzhao to garrison and defend the eastern part of Taiyuan, and ordered Zhang Yingchang to garrison Fenzhou and defend the western part of Taiyuan. Cao Wenzhao successively defeated the peasant army in Taigu, Fancun, Yushe and other places, and the peasant army in Taiyuan was almost wiped out.

Because Cao Wenzhao made the most meritorious contributions, Zhu Youzhen ordered the areas he passed through to accumulate more grain and grass to reward his soldiers and horses, and ordered Cao Wenzhao to suppress the peasant army as soon as possible.

Liu Zhongyun, a eunuch in Shanxi who monitored the military situation, wrote to him: When Cao Wenzhao encircled and suppressed the thieves in Xugou, Yuxian, and Dingxiang, the competent authorities in these places not only did not give them rice, but wounded their soldiers with artillery.

Zhu Youzhen handed over the matter to the imperial historian for questioning.

In March, the peasant army ascended the Taihang Mountains from Hanoi, and Wen Zhao defeated them at Zezhou. The thieves fled to Lu'an Cao, and Wen Zhao went to Yangcheng and encountered the peasant army instead of attacking it, but secretly sent troops from Qinshui to abduct it.

attacked them in Qindi and Liu Village, and captured more than 1,000 heads.

In April, the peasant army garrisoned Runcheng, and the other team fought Pingshun and killed Xu Mingyang, the magistrate.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao arrived, the peasant army retreated, so Cao Wenzhao attacked Runcheng in the middle of the night and captured 1,500 peasant troops. Zijin Liang and Lao Huihui fled from Yushe to Wuxiang, and Guotianxing fled to Gaoze Mountain, and Cao Wenzhao rushed to defeat them.

Other thieves besieged Shexian, and when they heard that Cao Wenzhao had captured Licheng, they hurriedly broke the siege and left.

In May, Zhu Youzhen sent the eunuch Sun Maolin to be a Chinese officer in Cao Wenzhao's army.

The peasant army attacked Qinshui, and Cao Wenzhao defeated them, captured their leader Dahu alive, and defeated them in the west of Maoling Mountain in Liaocheng.

In the case of repeated defeats, the peasant army avoided Cao Wenzhao's main force and mostly flowed north of the Yellow River.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen then ordered Wen Zhao to move his troops to the crusade. The peasant army had defeated Deng Xi's army in Linxian County, and Cao Wenzhao led five battalions of troops to attack at night and defeated them.

In July, he defeated Huaiqing's peasant army in Chailing Village, killed its leader Rolling Dilong, and pursued Lao Huihui in Linyuan.

When Cao Wenzhao was in Hongdong, he was at odds with Liu Lingyu, the local imperial historian who was at home.

By this time, Liu Lingyu came to inspect Henan. The army of Ma Fengyi, the chief local official of Sichuan Shishi, was defeated at Houjiazhuang, and relied on Cao Wenzhao's fast horse to arrive to repel the peasant army. After the battle, Cao Wenzhao had just disarmed and rested, and met with Liu Lingyu, and he did not talk speculatively. Cao Wenzhao brushed his clothes and reprimanded him to his face. Liu Lingyu was annoyed, and took Fengyi's defeat as Cao Wenzhao's sin. The military department thought that Cao Wenzhao was proud after winning a few battles, so he transferred him to Datong.

In July of the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), the Qing army entered the Guanxi to conquer the Han Dynasty, and when he returned to the division, he casually entered the territory of Datong, captured the victory fort, and the general Li Quan committed suicide, so he besieged Huairen County and Jingping Fort, Yingzhou and other places.

Cao Wenzhao and the governor Zhang Zongheng were first stationed in Huairen to hold on.

In August, Huairen relieved the siege and moved his troops to garrison in the town to challenge the Qing army, but failed and returned.

Later, most of the castles of Lingqiu and other garrisons fell, and the Qing army returned triumphantly.

In November, the imperial court assessed the guilt of the generals, and Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Zongheng, and the governor Hu Zhan'en were convicted and sent to the border guards.

As soon as the order was issued, the governor of Shanxi wrote a letter recommending Wen Zhao to know the soldiers and ask him to be arranged to come to Shanxi. So the imperial court ordered him to be the chief military officer of the aid and suppression, and let him make meritorious service to atone for his crimes.

At this time, the war disaster in Henan was particularly severe, and Zhu Youzhen had already agreed with the opinion of the Ministry of War, and ordered Cao Wenzhao to lead his troops to Henan urgently to suppress the thieves.

The governor of Shanxi protested and wrote a letter to fight for it, asking Cao Wenzhao to pacify the thieves in Shanxi first, and then march into Henan, but Zhu Youzhen did not agree.
