The poem was given to Qin Liangyu by Zhu Youzhen many years later to show his merits, and Zhu Youxiao crossed over, only remembering the last two sentences, which were written under Xing Cijing's suggestion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The handwriting on the paper is like a child's book, if it weren't for the seal 'Treasure of Qinwen', Qin Liangyu would not dare to believe that this was the imperial pen of the Son of Heaven.

"My emperor praises falsely, and the last general will not dare to bear it."

"If General Qin does not deserve this honor, who in the world would dare to accept it? Long live the Lord wrote and sighed 'The people of the Ming Dynasty are thousands, but the aid to Liao is too weak, the guards are negligent in drilling, and the empty let Jiannu laugh at me The Ming Dynasty has no one, if all the generals are like Qin Liangyu, bravely go to the country, why worry about the injustice of Liaobian. ’”

“…… The last general thanked the Lord Longen. ”

After some humility, the three of them sat down again, and Gao Shiming asked Xiong Tingbi, "Xiong Jingluo, our family has seen more than a thousand Tatars outside the city, but why?" ”

Xiong Tingbi knew that Gao Shiming was referring to the Mongolian refugees who camped on the east bank of the Taizi River, so he told the reasons one by one.

……

Tatar is Mongolia, after more than 200 years of suppression by the Ming Dynasty, the headquarters are all over the north of the Great Wall. It is mainly divided into three parts, Mobei (in Mongolia) Khalkha, Monan (east of Inner Mongolia, north of the Great Wall) Mongolia, Moxi (west of Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and other places) Oirat, the three are aimed at each other, independent and the internal departments do not belong to each other.

Monan Mongolia includes Chahar and Korqin, Inner Khalkha, Tumut and Ordos in the Liaohetao region in the northwest of Liaodong. The nominal co-ruler of the tribes was Khutuktu Khan, whose name was Rindan Batur, or Lindan Khan. Lin Dan Khan established Chahanhot (present-day Alu Korqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia) as a khan tent in the Abaga Hara Mountains in Bahrain.

Lin Dan Khan, now 28 years old, was the 35th Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Mobei did not recognize his status, and Moxi was still his enemy. He was able to control the Chahar tribes of Mongol in southern Mongolia, which were divided into eight tribes, including Haozit, Naiman, Keshiketeng, Uzhumuqin, Sunit, Aohan, Alakzhuot, and Zhuxiti.

After Lin Dan Khan ascended the throne in 1604, he led 30,000 troops in 1612 and tens of thousands of troops in 1615 to plunder the Ming border in an attempt to obtain trade rights.

By 1617, when Jiannu Nurhachi had been established, the Jin Dynasty officially rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and the DPRK and China believed that they could not be caught in a two-front war, so they agreed to exchange markets with them.

In 1618, the imperial court also invited the Yehe tribe (in the northeast of Jiannu, one of the four tribes in western Haixi) distributed in the Yehe River (around Lishu County, Jilin Province) to help the Ming attack Jiannu, and the Yehe tribe was defeated. The following year (1619), Kennu took a frenzied revenge. The imperial court saw that Jiannu was becoming more and more powerful and too rampant, so it urged Yang Hao to attack Jiannu, which was the famous Battle of Sarhu, and Yehe also participated in this battle.

After the war, the imperial court lost its division and land, and in order to return to the Liaodong war situation, Xiong Tingbi was sent to pass through Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi's stubborn strategy gave Jiannu a chance to breathe, and Nurhachi turned his troops and concentrated his forces to attack Yehebu, who were outnumbered and finally destroyed, and the herdsmen of the department were incorporated into the Jiannu banner.

After Jiannu annihilated Ye Hebu, forced by the situation, Huang Jiashan and other ministers of the Ministry of War suggested 'attacking Yi with Yi', which was exactly the same as Yang Hao's previous "Controlling Dongyi in the first section of the West", which was adopted by the temple.

Therefore, in July of last year (1619), when Jiannu and the remnants of the Salhu War attacked Tielingwei, they invited Zaisai, the strongest of the Nekhalkha tribes, to help. On the day of the arrival of more than 10,000 Mongolian soldiers, Tieling had been lost, and almost all the troops were wiped out after the battle with Jiannu, and Zai Sai and his two sons were captured and pledged to Jiannu.

Jiannu knew that the Five Leagues of Inner Khalkha obeyed the orders of Lin Dan Khan, and Nurhachi used Zaisai as a threat to form an alliance with Inner Khalkha and seek to jointly deal with the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the imperial court also sent the overseer Wang You [yóu] to Chahar in September last year, promising 4,000 taels of coins and 3,000 people a year to pay tribute, so that Lin Dan Khan could help defend the city of Guangning (Beizhen). Lin Dan Khan agreed to form an alliance with the Ming and raised the annual coin to 40,000 in order to strengthen his own strength.

After Lin Dan Khan formed an alliance with the imperial court, he sent 'Kangkar Baihu' to Jiannu with a letter of state. In the book of the country, Lin Dan Khan regarded himself as "Baturu Genghis Khan, the lord of 400,000 Mongolians", and contemptuously called Nurhachi "the lord of the 30,000 Jurchens on the waterfront", and warned Nurhachi not to conquer Guangning, if he is conquered, I will contain Yuer'.

On February 29 of this year (1620), Nurhachi formed an alliance with the five tribes of Nekharkha under the threat of Zaisai. As early as the seventeenth day of the first month, Nurhachi restored the letter of the Lin Dan Khanate, in which he first counted the dilemma of the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, and then said: 'Although the languages of the Ming Kingdom and the Korean Kingdom are different, their uniforms are the same, so the two countries intersect like one country, and the two Chinese languages are different, but the clothes are the same... Brother Khan... The city of Dokchi... Isn't it good? 'To instigate Lin Dan Khan to attack the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the letter, Lin Dan Khan was unmoved by interests, but this year Nurhachi got rumors from Inner Khalkha that the messenger had been killed by Lin Dan Khan. Then he sent an envoy to Chahar, and promised to 'send the news by the twentieth day of July, and if it does not arrive after the deadline, I will think that I have been killed.' ’

Later, for unknown reasons, the envoy did not return as scheduled, and on August 18, Nurhachi beheaded the envoy 'Kangkar Baihu' sent by Lin Dan Khan to take revenge, and three days later (that is, on August 21), sent troops to attack the two cities of Yilu and Puhe.

At this point, Jiannu and Lin Dan Khan fell into a hostile relationship.

To sum up, Liaodong can now be divided into three forces, one of which is the imperial court, the second is the Chahar of Lin Dan Khan, and the third is Jiannu, Korqin (maintaining an in-law with Jiannu), and Nekhalkha.

……

At the moment, the Mongol refugees outside the city belong to the Chahar tribes.

In the spring and summer of this year, there was a great drought in the northeast, and in the winter, there was snowfall one after another, and countless cattle and sheep were frozen, and the people who had no food and clothing in various departments went into the customs to beg for food, and because Shenyang and Liaoyang were important towns, they gathered the most refugees, which were nearly 10,000 people, and they were still increasing.

Gao Shiming was not short-sighted, realized the seriousness of the problem, and said dissatisfied, "Why don't you go to the court." ”

Qin Liangyu heard the implication of Gao Shiming's request for the imperial court to allocate grain, and said, "Jinglu has already submitted this matter to the Chen Military Department, but now that it is winter, it is inconvenient to transport grain from the mainland. As a result, the refugees were resettled outside the city and provided only two meals a day, one dry and one thin, to maintain only their food rations. When spring arrives, they can be repatriated. ”

In order not to destroy the honeymoon relationship with Lin Dan Khan, Xiong Tingbi had to take in the refugees who entered the customs, seeing Qin Liangyu defending himself, he handed over a grateful look, and then explained, "In order to prevent spies, this official has killed dozens of *** people who pick quarrels and provoke trouble. And Liaoyang and Shenyang cities are newly built, and the situation outside the city is just as seen by the father-in-law, as long as our army holds on, not only refugees, but even Jiannu can do nothing. ”

When Gao Shiming entered the city, he saw that the city wall had indeed been rebuilt, and there was a wall outside the city, which was more than eight zhang wider than the original city wall, and outside the wall, there was a moat and a deep moat that should be the water of the Taizi River.

And Gao Shiming did not know that Shenyang is more solid, outside the city wall, 'dig ten layers of trenches, one person is deep, the bottom of the trench is inserted with sharp wood, a stone's throw in the trench, a layer of dredging trench, the inner side of the trench is a big wood that can be lifted by one or twenty people as a fence. In the fence, dig two layers of big trenches, five zhang wide, two zhang deep, and the bottom of the trench is inserted with sharp wood. The inside of the trench is arranged with two cannons, four small cannons are placed in each car, each car is spaced one zhang apart, the soil is built as a barrier, as high as the navel, and five cannons are set up between the barriers. ’

Although the two are fortified cities, no one dares to guarantee whether they can hold them. Gao Shiming saw that Xiong Tingbi was full of confidence, so he got up and said to Xiong Tingbi Zhengse, "Pass on the message of the Son of Heaven: Xiong Tingbi, the weak soldiers in Liaodong have been transferred away, and they have also increased their troops by 50,000. ”

Xiong Tingbi and Qin Liangyu knelt down when they heard the 'Word of Heaven', and after listening to it, even if they knew that it was the method of agitation, their faces were still red.

Xiong Tingbi knew that after the reduction and conscription, there were still 120,000 people in Liaodong, and half of them could become elites with diligent training. These 120,000 are distributed in the two cities of Liaoshen and the six forts (Puhe Fort, Fengji Fort, Hupiyi, Qinghe Fort, and Kuanjiao), and cooperate with the Liaodong Minzhuang and auxiliary armies.
