Chapter 428: The Empire Strikes Back
Boar Skin finally made his wisest choice.
He personally led 30,000 Eight Banners of Manchuria, 20,000 Eight Banners of Korea plus 30,000 Green Flag Army, and 40,000 of them called the puppet Korean Army by the Ming Dynasty, and dealt a thunderous blow to Li Liang, who had always insisted on being in Jeonju.
The latter can only run away.
The 20,000 most loyal Korean troops under Qi Jinsuo and Yi Liang, a total of 30,000, can be said to be the last resistance of North Korea to retreat south to Naju.
Then call for help.
Shen Shikui was returning from the trade of the Japanese Kingdom and passed through Mokpo Port, and happened to come directly with the envoy.
But Li Kun's main purpose is not to ask for help, but to ask for ......
It is good that Tianqi is willing to increase troops, Tianqi is unwilling to increase troops, and he does not want to stay in North Korea anymore, so he simply gives him a small fief in Daming, even if it is Daming's in the future, Tianqi can take it back, and North Korea will directly become Daming's North Korean political envoy, at that time, Li Liang will no longer expect anything, he will be honest and honest in Daming like those vassal kings of Daming.
In short, he doesn't want North Korea.
Of course, this is not a no-go.
"My Ming Dynasty survives, how can it be reasonable to take advantage of people's danger."
Yang Dudu, who returned together, said righteously.
Regarding this point, Ye Xianggao, the first assistant who had just been appointed by Tingtui, agreed very much.
This is not the first time, when Li Liang and his grandfather also asked to be attached, the Ming monarch and ministers also refused, not to take advantage of the danger of people just to say, the main thing is not to raise idlers, the king of Korea is equivalent to the king of the county, the Ming Dynasty to the county king fief on a Jingjiang king, a year of more than 50,000 taels, but also so that the entire Guangxi finance can not be self-sufficient, must be Guangdong and Huguang two provinces to help.
Let the Li family attach?
Add another burden to yourself?
"But we can't sit idly by, the current situation must increase the number of troops in North Korea, or attack Jiannu, but in any case, we need to supervise the horse."
Sun Chengzong said.
He was also a scholar and secretary of the military department, and the de facto number two person in the cabinet.
"Then a two-pronged approach, Liaodong will feint and contain, and Phi Dao will attack the Yalu River Estuary and Ganghwa Island, I will take a group of soldiers and horses to North Korea to rescue, but it will take some time for the army to be mobilized, I will first transfer a part of it to help them hold Luozhou, and then go to North Korea to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu when the army gathers."
Yang Xin said very happily.
Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Yang Xin goes to North Korea, where this scourge stays, there will be an accident, but it doesn't matter if he goes to North Korea, he can play with the Li family as much as he likes, of course, they don't know that Yang Dudu promised so happily just because he was not prepared to go at all, at least not this year. In other words, Yang Xincai doesn't care if Li Liang lives or dies, and there is still a sailor there, and there is also a small base in Naju, and the surrounding mountains are used as barriers, if they can hold Naju, they will hold it, and if they can't hold it, they will go to Jeju Island, in short, they will wait there slowly.
As for the feint attack in the direction of Liaodong, let Sun Chuanting be responsible for it.
It is also a good test of the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army, saying that it is a feint, but if the Ming army's combat effectiveness is enough, it can completely turn into a real large-scale attack.
During this time, the armies of Liaodong were also considered elite, Zhao led the Ministry of Education to 15,000, which is a real number, and Cao Wenzhao's Department expanded to 150 million, and actually annexed He Shixian's Department, he and Lu Xiangsheng This combination is very good, Zu Dashou Department 10,000, of course, there are actually 5,000 empty heads. Chen Ce's department is 10,000, and part of his Sichuan army has been withdrawn, after all, the Sichuan army that first arrived in Liaodong has been fighting for five years, and it is impossible to continue to let people stay there, including the white pole soldiers who have also been transferred back, and the white pole soldiers have also been in Liaodong for almost five years, they are not the same as recruiting soldiers, and the remaining white pole soldiers in the north are those assigned to Qi Jin.
There are also Sun Yuanhua's 20,000 new troops.
The other generals have about 20,000 more to fight after deducting the false head.
In addition, Sun Chuanting focused on cultivating 10,000 Zhang Shenwu's department, in short, Liaodong can invest 100,000, and they are all really able to fight.
In addition, there is the Mangui of Shanhaiguan.
He also has fifteen thousand real numbers there.
In other words, Sun Chuanting can gather more than 110,000 field troops, which is not counting Jin Taiji, who is sure to be mobilized, the latter can also contribute at least 10,000, as for fried flowers, he doesn't need to stare at Lin Dan Khan, in fact, Zhao Shujiao can't all be dispatched there, and he also has to guard against Lin Dan Khan. Man Gui didn't dare to go out completely, he also had to keep an eye on the Great Wall line, the famine in the Mongolian steppe has become more and more serious in recent years, and he is no longer as honest as Yang Xin was after he was shocked.
In the final analysis, only fried flowers are truly preferential.
Others are not so well treated.
Including those Taiji Nuoyan people in the Shunyi King system, they don't even care about the Shunyi King, of course they have to find a way to make a living in this famine situation, do they have any other choice but to rob? Even before, the imperial court thought about transferring Mangui to Xuanfu, so he was choking and moving.
But in any case, Sun Chuanting was still able to dispatch more field troops than Yang Hao last time.
Last time, Yang Ho actually had more than 80,000.
The loss he reported afterwards was 45,000 and 42,000 remaining, and there were more than 10,000 in North Korea, 10,000 in Yehe, adding up to 110,000, but in fact this is false, it is impossible for the Ming army and the Korean army to have no empty salary, and no one knows how much, for example, Juniper sent nearly 40,000 troops, but the eunuchs who accompanied the army secretly reported that he was less than 20,000. It is impossible for Ye Hebu to dispatch 10,000, and the total number of young men in Jin Taiji's hands is this, he can't go out all, in short, how much the Ming army invested in Yang Hao's battle of Salhu is a secret, and it is estimated that Yang Hao himself is not clear.
At most, he knew a rough proportion of empty salaries, how much those generals ate, and how much of them were hastily recruited cannon fodder, and he himself didn't know.
Later, when Xiong Tingbi first went, he quarreled many times because of the big gap between the actual number of troops mobilized in various places and the military headquarters.
But Sun Chuanting will definitely be able to invest 80,000 real numbers this time.
And there are no hastily recruited cannon fodder, even if they are not elite, they have undergone a certain amount of military training.
And what he needs to deal with is only Daishan who stayed behind in Hetuala, the latter has no more than 40,000 troops in his hands, and in fact does not have the ability to fight in the field with the Ming army, the most likely thing is to defend to the death, after all, it is difficult for the Ming army to maintain the offensive logistics line of Hetuala. In the past two years, the wild boar skin was actually mainly defense, not only rebuilt the city wall of Hetuala, but also established a real defense system based on Salhu, Yahu Pass, Sanyang, and Fengcheng, and even repaired the original Liaodong border wall.
It's just that the side wall used to defend against them, but now it has been changed to defend against the Ming army.
The offensive and defensive situation of the two sides in Liaodong reversed, and even if there was no eastward advance of the wild boar skin this time, Sun Chuanting was ready to take the initiative to attack.
In this case, Yang Xin doesn't care.
It was no longer important to him, and the most important thing for him now was to go all out to dig deep and accumulate food, ready to face the next famine.
All that remains is the composition of the future support for the North Korean army.
"The Bandits?"
Sun Chengzong asked tentatively.
"Most of the Dangkou army is currently for the people, so there is no need to move anymore, but those regimental exercises in the south of the Yangtze River, now that the Red Turban Army has been solved, it is useless to keep them, and it is easy to disband those soldiers directly, it is better to form a reinforcement army to go to North Korea, and they are all from Nanzhili like Qi Jinsuo, and they are also adapted to the climate in southern Korea."
Yang Xin said.
"These are regimental exercises formed at the expense of the gentry, and it is not appropriate for the imperial court to directly requisition them, right?"
Ye Xianggao said.
This is definitely not good, those group exercises are the backing of Donglin Qunxian, he, the boss of the Donglin Party, has increased his voice in the imperial court now, relying on the fact that the Donglin Party finally has force, if Yang Xin gets to North Korea, all the operations are gone, then there is no play. This is absolutely not good, and besides, what if the regiment is trained and the Red Turban Army does things again? At best, the two sides are holding a truce, and it would be a joke to say that peace would be restored and the two sides would continue to coexist peacefully.
Why did you get Yang Shin to North Korea?
Isn't it just that he went to North Korea and then made it convenient for the regiment in Jiangnan to practice?
If he is asked to take all the team exercises away, it will be a fart.
"Do you just keep these regiments training there? This is not in accordance with the rules of the court, are they soldiers or people? What if an ambitious person uses this to plot something wrong? ”
Yang Xin said.
"Yang Dudu laughed, it was just some loyal gentry who shared their worries for the country, but the loyal and brave army after the reorganization of the Red Turban Army was regarded as the imperial army, and it was just right to use this army to go to North Korea, and at most recruit more, such as those who surrendered to the army brought by the governor, or simply transfer some Tusi troops from Sichuan and Guizhou, such as Zhenxiong, so that the army of 350,000 is gathered, and the commander of the governor will be enough to solve the problem of Jiannu."
Ye Xianggao said.
"What can these do, they don't even have decent weapons."
Yang Dudu said.
"Weapons are easy to say, it's a big deal to spend some silver to match them."
Sun Chengzong said.
"No, no."
Yang Xin said.
"Yang Dudu, this is not easy to do, there are no more soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, so you can't let those guards go to the battlefield, right? In fact, the old man felt that the governor might as well go to Liaodong and take the Liaodong soldiers to attack the Jiannu lair, if he could defeat Hetuala, then Jiannu would not dare to continue to wreak havoc in Korea. ”
Ye Xianggao said.
"This kind of miraculous feats should be handed over to the soldiers of Liaodong, as for the reinforcement of the Korean army, if it really doesn't work, recruit another one, in the final analysis, it's just silver, let's recruit another 350,000 new troops to hold on."
Yang Xin said.
Ye Xianggao and the two looked at each other.
Yang Xin is unwilling to send his minions, and they are unwilling to use regimental training, so there is indeed only one option to recruit a new army, but it will take time to recruit a new army, and it is obvious that Yang Xin is not ready to rescue North Korea this year. But they can't force him, so they can only let the Li family hold on first, fortunately, they haven't thought about solving the Red Turban Army this year, and those regimental exercises will not be really available until next year, as for the Li family, who cares about them.
