"Alas!" After learning about the defeat of the Ming Army's Northern Route Army from Buyangu, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. (2) (5) (8)

He has always wondered that the Ming army's three-way army was defeated by the Houjin army in just five days and fled, and now it seems that the Ming army was defeated unjustly, in addition to the weather, command and other factors, the Houjin army's tactics will restrain the Ming army to the death.

This made the Ming army, which relied too much on firearms with great limitations in actual combat, like prey, and was beaten by the hunting attacks of the Houjin army with a hard bow and was powerless, but it was the cold weapon troops of the Ming army that caused a lot of trouble to the Houjin army.

If the Ming army's firearms troops and cold weapons troops could cooperate closely, it would not be easy for the Houjin army to win the Battle of Sarhu.

It is a pity that there was no cooperation between the arms of the Ming Army's Southern Route Army, the Northern Route Army and the Western Route Army at all, and the firearms troops and cold weapons troops even fought separately, and were finally broken by the Later Jin Army.

In the final analysis, Li Hongyu believed that the most important reason for the failure of the Battle of Sarhu was that the Ming army was too light on the enemy, and believed that the Houjin army was just a group of barbarian soldiers on the frontier, and it would definitely collapse in the face of the Ming army's attack.

Therefore, the Ming army did not understand the tactics and advantages of the Later Jin army at all, and at the same time underestimated the determination of the Later Jin army to resist.

As a result, under the combined action of many internal and external factors, it eventually led to the defeat of the Ming army in Sarhu, so that the Houjin army opened the channel to the west by virtue of this great victory, and then swept Liaodong and Liaoxi out of control, and the troops pointed directly at the Shanhai Pass.

"Buyangubel, do you think the Jurchen tribes under Nurhachi who were annexed by him are of the same mind as him?" In addition to the tactics and combat effectiveness of the Houjin army, Li Hongyu was also concerned about one thing, so he looked at Buyangu and said in a deep voice, wanting to know if Nurhachi could control the tribes that he had annexed.

"Humph!" Buyangu immediately sneered when he heard this, and said with a disdainful face, "The people of those tribes are just afraid of Nurhachi's obscenity, Nurhachi killed their leader and incorporated them into his own tribe, and let the people of his tribe rule them, they are forced to obey, and if they have the opportunity, they will definitely rebel." ”

"What was your relationship with those tribes before?" Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, and then asked quietly.

"In order to suppress Nurhachi's brutal expansion and bully other tribes, our Yehe tribe has fought with them for many years, and many of the Nuzhen tribes have allied with us Yehe."

Hearing this, a look of pride suddenly flashed on Buyangu's face, and then he said with regret, "It's a pity that God has no eyes, Nurhachi's luck is too good, so I can't kill him, so that it has become today's disaster." ”

"Buyangubel, Nurhachi's good fortune will come to an end, as long as you Yehebu are in those tribes that are annexed by Nurhachi, the Jurchens will not really submit to him."

Li Hongyu knew that Buyangu hated Nurhachi because his father was killed by Nurhachi, so he smiled and comforted, "We have an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, called 'Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood' and 'It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years', and this official believes that your Yehe Department will destroy their Jianzhou Department sooner or later!" ”

"I will accept the auspicious words of the governor, and I hope that the adults will take care of me in the future." Buyangu smiled slightly when he heard this, and raised his wine glass to Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu is not only the highest-ranking Ming official known to Ye Hebu, but also the best Ming official to Ye Hebu, so Buyangu and Jin Taishi naturally want to make friends with Li Hongyu, they will send people under the fence after they move like this, so they need to find a backer, and Li Hongyu is undoubtedly the person who is worthy of their trust and reliance.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that Li Hongyu was able to come to Yehebu's station to persuade Jintaishi and Buyanggu to migrate is enough to show that Li Hongyu attaches great importance to Yehebu, which is completely different from other officials of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.

If Dong Ge is twenty years younger, Bu Yanggu will definitely marry Dong Ge to Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu is the new champion of Daming, the red man in front of the emperor, it can be said that he is both civil and military, and he will definitely be able to conquer the arrogant Dong Ge.

A few days later, Tieling.

After the fall of Kaiyuan, Tieling became a lonely city in northern Liaoning, this Ming Dynasty in northern Liaobei second only to Kaiyuan military town known as Shenyang "the key to the north gate" said, only one hundred and thirty or forty miles away from Shenyang, which shows the importance of its geographical location.

At this moment, the four gates of Tieling City are closed and heavily guarded, and since the Houjin army captured Kaiyuan, the soldiers and civilians in the city have been shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Kaiyuan and Tieling are the two important towns of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, once lost, not only made the Houjin open the way to the south, but also endangered the safety of Shenyang.

During the Ming Dynasty, the military castles in the area of the nine important towns were divided into five types, namely: town city, road city, acropolis, city and fortress city.

Among them, the city where the seat of the important town of the Nine Sides and the capital division and the capital division is located is called the town city, and the road city is the city where the government of each "road" below the "town" is located, and the acropolis is the city of the key area.

As for the castle and the fort city, it refers to the two regular cities in the local area, the city where the guard is located, of which Qinghe Fort belongs to the fort city.

There are two towns in Liaodong, one is Guangning City, where the Liaodong Town Governance Office is located, and the other is Liaoyang City, where the Liaoyang Metropolitan Governance Office is located.

Shenyang City and Kaiyuan City are the first of the Liaodong Zhulu City, and the city defense of Shenyang City is the most strong, because it bears the heavy responsibility of monitoring and resisting the Jurchens in Liaodong, and guarding the safety of the northeastern region of Liaoning, so after years of construction, its city defense is even stronger than Liaoyang and Guangning.

The ministers of the court also knew the importance of Kaiyuan and Tieling, but due to the lack of troops in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers of civil and military affairs had nothing to do for a while, they could not let the reinforcements fly over with wings, but Houjin would not give the imperial court time to mobilize troops, and would definitely take the opportunity to take Kaiyuan and Tieling.

Therefore, in the case that the reinforcements could not arrive in time, the imperial court could only make up their minds from the generals who guarded Kaiyuan and Tieling.

As we all know, Li Chengliang Jiuzhen Liaodong has a very high prestige in the hearts of the Liao people, and the Jurchens were even more frightened when they heard his name, and now although Li Chengliang has died, his descendants are still there, so Li Chengliang's descendants have become the last line of defense to protect Kaiyuan and Tieling in the eyes of the officials of the imperial court.

Li Chengliang has nine sons, and his military attainments are the highest among the eldest son Li Rusong, followed by the fifth son Li Rumei, but it is a pity that the two have died in battle, especially the eldest son Li Rusong is most like Li Chengliang and can be called a generation of fierce generals.

Therefore, after the deliberation of the court officials, it was decided to transfer Li Chengliang's third son Li Ruzhen to Liaodong to guard Shenyang, as the general army of Zhenliao, once Kaiyuan and Tieling changed, he would especially lead the army to support, so that maybe things could take a turn, after all, the Jurchens were afraid of Li Chengliang before, maybe Li Ruzhen went to make the Houjin army fearful.

It's a pity that Kaiyuan has been lost on Li Ruzhen's way to Shenyang, and the court's decision is still a step too late after all.

Except for Li Rubai, who retreated without a fight in the Battle of Salhu, Li Ruzhen's qualifications and official position are the highest among the living children of the Li family.

Because of Li Chengliang's outstanding achievements, Li Ruzhen was able to enter the Jinyi Guard when he was young, and in the past 40 years, he has been promoted to the right governor of the pro-army capital by virtue of his father's merits, and has become the head of the Jinyi Guard, which is also often called the Governor of the Jinyi Guard.

In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, the highest official position of Jinyiwei was the commander of Zhengsanpin, but after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the expansion of the functions of Jinyiwei, the official position of Jinyiwei began to change, and the commander and governor were established to be responsible for the affairs of Jinyiwei.

Moreover, the official position of Jinyiwei has gradually become a reward given by the emperor to meritorious people and close people, especially the sons and daughters of the nobles, there are many people who are suspended in Jinyiwei, that is, there are officials without positions, and they can get the corresponding salary but do not work as errands in the Jinyiwei yamen.

In some historical materials of later generations, there are often several incumbents in the same official position of Jinyiwei in the same period, in fact, except for one person in charge, the others are all suspended people.

This is like the title of Daming, which is easy to cause confusion to people.

For example, during the same period, there were several different Rite Books, except for one who held a substantive position in the Ministry of Rites and was responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Yamen, and the other people's Rite Secretaries were only titles, intended to indicate the owner's rank and status, not in the Ministry of Rites.

This is most prominent in the cabinet members, because the cabinet bachelors are the five grades, so in order to make the cabinet members can compete with the six ministers, so the cabinet members will have six books or six squires to the title.

According to the regulations, cabinet members cannot be in charge of the yamen of the major ministries and courts of the imperial court, which is an institution specially used by the emperor to check and balance the major ministries and courts.

Historically, the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries was one of mutual checks and balances, and they were not subordinate to each other, but sat on an equal footing, and there would not have been a situation in which someone was both a cabinet member and an official of the six ministries.

The head of the six ministries, the secretary of the ministry and the head of the cabinet, who has the highest voice in the court, will compete for seniority, and whoever has the highest seniority will have an advantage in the confrontation, but it is only an advantage.

The only period when the cabinet can suppress the six ministries is the time period when Zhang Juzheng is the first assistant of the cabinet during the Wanli period, during this time, the six ministries were eaten to death by the cabinet, but after Zhang Juzheng's death, the cabinet can no longer suppress the six ministries, but the six ministries have become stronger.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Zhang Juzheng was able to suppress the six departments was because he had a good relationship with Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, and he was supported by the Queen Mother.

This made the decision-making power originally exercised by the celebrant on behalf of the emperor, the suggestion power of the cabinet and the administrative power of the six ministries all belonged to Zhang Juzheng, and the power was monopolized, becoming the uncrowned minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why the Wanli Emperor later wanted to liquidate Zhang Juzheng was closely related to Zhang Juzheng's arrogance when he served as the first assistant of the cabinet, after all, the monarchy was the emperor's forbidden body in feudal society, whether Zhang Juzheng was selfish or determined to reform, it violated the emperor's "reverse scale", and it was definitely a "big rebellion" in feudal society.

It can be imagined how cautious the young Wanli Emperor was in front of Zhang Juzheng, who monopolized the military and political power, and maybe he would be scolded for doing something wrong.

Although the young Wanli Emperor was helpless about this, the situation was different when he was in power, especially after Zhang Juzheng's death.

The so-called people go to tea and cool, Zhang Juzheng's death means the end of an era, and it is also the time for his political enemies to blow the horn of counteroffensive, so Zhang Juzheng's fate can be imagined.

Therefore, the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries is not a subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels, as is rumored among the people, but a relationship of checks and balances at the same level.
