Section 53: Countermeasures

The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer

Advance and retreat in a degree, well-organized, talented!

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Qin Haoming was not yet weak, but he was not shocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When a governor asked him about his plan, he did not have the slightest ambition and was arrogant, but asked himself carefully.

This is obviously to know oneself and know the other before making a plan, and this steadiness alone makes him secretly admire in his heart!

"Don't you think about anything else, how do you fight back if you want to drive out the Tartars?"

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were shining, and his heart was full of pride, could it be that he was not as good as a scholar after many years of fighting?

Yang Wei wants his own life, I'm afraid it's not so easy?

"The Tartars have two purposes this time. The first is to punish the failure of the peace talks and show their strength.

Second, weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty, promote peace by fighting, and nourish the war with war, killing three birds with one stone.

What the enemy wants, we want to destroy.

So we just need to start with these two aspects. ”

Qin Haoming raised his hand and analyzed the root cause of the problem to Lu Xiangsheng one by one, but his eyes were still full of deep worry.

Without it, it's easier said than done.

Historically, in order to further weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji led Qing troops from Mongolia to cross the Great Wall and enter the Ming Dynasty four times after Chongzhen refused to negotiate peace.

As far as Shandong, he broke through Jinan and captured King De.

Wherever the Qing soldiers went, they burned, killed, looted, destroyed cities and villages, plundered large quantities of livestock, gold and silver, and brought the captured population to the outside of the customs as slaves or as soldiers in the banner of the Han army.

It not only destroyed the productive forces of the Ming Dynasty, but also enhanced the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, and fed the war with war, killing two birds with one stone.

On the Ming side, although there are people who dare to fight such as Lu Xiangsheng, they are restrained and constrained, and the battle will be lost.

Most of the Ming army did not have the ability to fight against the Qing army, and could not defend the city, so they could only "follow and dare not attack" from afar, watching the Qing soldiers loot and calmly get out of the fortress.

At the same time, the peasant rebel army in Shaanxi became more and more suppressed, pinning down a large number of Ming troops, making it impossible for the Ming army to concentrate its forces against the Qing army.

Especially after Lu Xiangsheng was killed, Wang Erxiao celebrated the New Year, and every year was not as good as the year.

In the contest between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming Dynasty gradually had an absolute disadvantage.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, bowed his head and pondered.

Qin Xiucai's thoughts coincided with what he originally thought, if the Tianxiong Army and Guan Ning Tie Cavalry were in hand, plus the other Qinwang teams, they would definitely not be able to please the Tartars.

It's a pity that the emperor wants to fight for a while, and wants to make peace for a while, but he has no plan.

Nowadays, the people and horses are divided and distributed in various counties and prefectures in Hebei, which is difficult to use in a centralized manner, and the fighters are wasted in vain.

"It's a pity that the holy order is difficult to disobey, and the old man Julu has to go, so what can I do?"

Thinking of Emperor Chongzhen's suspicion, Lu Xiangsheng's mood was a little gloomy, and he was powerless, which was really aggrieved, and he couldn't help but sigh for a long time!

"Alas! Emperor Chongzhen is too diligent and too eager for quick success, so he has today's situation! ”

For an emperor like Chongzhen, apart from admiring his backbone, Qin Haoming has no good feelings and awe.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's emotion, he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

Chongzhen was too "diligent" to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

The primary quality of an emperor is to know people and be good at their duties, and rely on a group of talented people to govern the country and level the world.

From this aspect, Qin Haoming believes that Chongzhen is not a good emperor, and he is not as good as Liu Chan.

As an emperor, he has no experience in leading troops to fight, just play with his woman, but he commands the generals in front from the deep palace, how can he be undefeated!

On the contrary, the three generations of leaders of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon, who were the top decision-makers of the Later Jin regime, all had experience in leading troops to fight, and were able to appoint a group of traitorous intellectuals to give them advice.

During the Battle of Songjin, Huang Taiji knew that this battle was related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty, so he not only "learned about the people of Shenzhong", mobilized the military and civilians of the whole country to go into battle, but also dragged the sick body to drive the expedition in person, and commanded from the front to stimulate morale.

"Qin Xiucai is talking nonsense, be careful that trouble comes out of his mouth."

Lu Xiangsheng said lightly.

For Chongzhen, he is still grateful. So knowing that he would die, he still resolutely rushed to Julu.

That is, he appreciates Qin Haoming, so he doesn't say a word lightly. If you change someone else, you might have to make a big move.

"Governor Shelu is kind, and Xiaosheng obeys the teachings!"

Qin Haoming was shocked, he was a little carried away, the purpose of this time was to save Lu Xiangsheng, there was no need to punish him in vain.

"Governor Lu, the only way to do this is to minimize the losses.

If you can concentrate 3,000 elite people who dare to die, take advantage of the Tartars' surprise and destroy their living force with fast fighting.

It really can't be done, and a small group of elite fighters will find out the location of the enemy chieftain and carry out the "beheading" plan, so that there is no possibility of peace talks between the two sides.

If Emperor Chongzhen can make up his mind and fight with all his might, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, it is possible to organize an army to rescue them from the looted property and personnel of the county capitals, so that they will not achieve the goal of feeding the war with war. What does the Governor think? ”

Qin Haoming was a special soldier in his later generations, and he was the best at the concept of small special operations.

Now the Manchu Tartars have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, which is conducive to the Ming army and convenient for the implementation of the special operation plan in terms of geographical advantages.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say a word after hearing this, but his heart was turbulent.

The plan Qin Xiucai said was much the same as his original tactics, and even more innovative.

On April 15, the 10th year of Chongzhen's reign, Lu Xiangsheng gave a recital, "The Selection of Strange Soldiers," in which he called for the establishment of a special force of 1,500 men to be used for raiding camps and surprise attacks.

This exemplifies his tactical thinking. The success of appeasing Yunyang relied on long-distance travel.

Luoyang defeated the Baili joint camp of King Chuang with thousands of cavalry, and Chuzhou ravaged the hundreds of thousands of troops of King Chuang with 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, relying on long-distance attacks.

Field battles and surprise attacks are his favorite tactics.

If Qin Xiucai can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. If you join the domestic anti-thief team, it will be the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty.

For a while, his heart was suffering from gains and losses, and it was difficult to make a choice for a long time.

"What does Qin Xiucai think about the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty?"

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it for a long time, and the bull head asked such a sentence without saying to the horse's mouth.

"Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others did not get the support of the scholars and the people in the Jiangnan area, and were repeatedly hit by the devastating blows of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Later Jin Tartar army was fierce, it was limited in number and could not withstand a long war of attrition.

As long as the Shanhai Pass is not lost, even if they can cross the Great Wall from Mongolia and enter the Guannei, they will not be able to occupy the territory of the Ming Dynasty because the supply line is too long.

The only thing to worry about is ......"

Qin Haoming said that when he talked about the back, he really didn't know how to say it to Lu Xiangsheng.

What he said was the truth, and although the current situation was so unbearable, the Ming court still had the possibility of winning the war.

The problem is that Chongzhen and the "pig prince" of the imperial court are wrong again and again at the strategic level.

In general, when the situation is favorable, it is necessary to actively attack to avoid future troubles, and when the situation is unfavorable, it is necessary to actively defend to wear down the opponent's strength.

When fighting on two fronts, it is common sense to temporarily make peace with one side in order to preserve strength, but the elites of the Ming Dynasty made mistakes one after another like idiots, how do you let Qin Haoming say.

Even Lu Xiangsheng is not without mistakes.

"Qin Xiucai might as well speak bluntly, no need to scruple."

Qin Haoming's words made Lu Xiangsheng greatly agree, this son is a rare person who understands in the Ming Dynasty, and hurriedly asked.
