Chapter 273: History Returns to the Beginning
Hearing Wen Tiren's words, Yang Sichang did not retreat, but shook his sleeves and said loudly: "Yang Sichang is open-minded and not afraid of others' comments. ”
He turned back to Emperor Chongzhen and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng has achieved an unprecedented victory in Nanzhili, it can be said that today's thief army has reached the point of exhaustion, and with just a little more strength, it can cut off the great trouble that has plagued our dynasty for many years." However, when the minister entered Xiyuan just now, he heard that Jiannu was frequently transferred, and there were signs of southern aggression. Nowadays, my Ming Dynasty has few victories against the north, if this time Jiannu comes to the south, try to ask, who can resist? Looking at the world, the only people in our dynasty who have the talent to unify the army are Hong Hengjiu, Lu Jiandou, and Sun Chuanting. Now, Hong and Sun can't get out of Shaanxi. With troops in the north, I am afraid that Lu Xiangsheng can only lead the way. Otherwise, once Jiannu comes south, who can resist? The thief army is far south of the Yellow River, but it is only a long-term concern; And Jiannu is in Liaodong, and the fast horse can run to the city of Beijing in a few days, which is a worry for the henchmen! ”
Wen Tiren was refuted by Yang Sichang, and he didn't like it in his heart, and said: "Alarmist, even if Jiannu wants to come south, is it possible that my Guanning army in western Liaoning, and the defense line that cost tens of millions of taels of silver and went through the two dynasties of Tianqi and Chongzhen are all decorations?" ”
Several other ministers nodded slightly, but Zhou Yanru looked thoughtful.
Yang Sichang shook his head: "Shoufu's statement is ridiculous, Jiannu may not enter the Kou through Liaoxi, can't they come from the Horqin grassland?" You must know that the slave chief Huang Taiji has just taken the Horqin grassland, and if he wants to plunder my Daming Jinggi, can't he come over there? As long as the Great Wall is broken, the morning can come. When the time comes, how will you deal with yourself? Is it possible, but you have to repeat the old things of Chongzhen's second year, where will you put your father at that time? ”
The so-called old incident in the second year of Chongzhen refers to the late October of the second year of Chongzhen, because the Mongolian tribes suffered serious disasters and suffered huge losses. Taking advantage of the weakness of Mongolia and its inability to resist Jianzhou, Huang Taiji of Jianzhou divided his troops into three routes, detoured through the Mongolian steppe, and raided the side walls of the Great Wall from Da'ankou, Longjingguan, and Hongshankou respectively, and hit the Beijing area in only ten days.
The entire Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty was trampled by the iron hooves of the Jianju people, and it was impossible to resist.
After desperation, Emperor Chongzhen could only issue an edict ordering troops from all over the country to enter the king of Beijing. But the final result of this battle ended with the unprecedented defeat of the Ming Dynasty, and the swaggering return north after the looting of Jiannu.
After the war, Emperor Chongzhen was afraid of the enemy because of Yuan Chonghuan
。 When he went to the battlefield, not only did he not fight bravely to kill the enemy, but asked Emperor Chongzhen to open the city of Beijing and let him take the army into the city to hide, suspecting Yuan of colluding with Jiannu, and sentenced him to a sentence.
Hearing Yang Sichang's words, Emperor Chongzhen was like being poured a basin of ice water on his head, and his heart was suddenly cold. The ecstasy brought about by capturing Gao Yingxiang alive was also diluted a lot.
This is the most embarrassing thing that Emperor Chongzhen has ever experienced after he first ascended the throne for three years. Back then, he had just killed Wei Zhongxian, and he held great power, and Shenggong was arbitrary, which can be said to be high-spirited. I only feel that I am another Ming Jun in history, except for Yao Shunyu Tang and Tang Zong and Song Zu. The great tomorrow power of revitalizing Taizu and becoming an ancestor is not a problem.
But Yuan Chonghuan, who was supported by his trust, and the Guanning Army, which he spent millions of dollars to arm every year, were like paper paste in front of the Jiannu army. If they are willing to fight the enemy's bloody battle, even if they lose this battle in the future, it is easy to say. But Yuan Chonghuan was afraid of the enemy, making Chongzhen lose an adult in front of the world.
At this time, the people suddenly discovered that Emperor Chongzhen, who seemed to be a saint and innocent on the surface, actually had no ability. Otherwise, how could he be bullied like this by Jiannu and not dare to fight back?
This is also the main reason why Yuan Chonghuan was executed by Chongzhen back then.
On the surface, Yuan Chonghuan was a spy on Jiannu, but afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen also calmed down and thought about it. In fact, even if it is not Yuan Chonghuan who commands the Guan Ning army, if it is replaced by Sun Chengzong or others, with the strength of the Ming army, if he encounters the main force of Jiannu, he is afraid that it will collapse at the first touch.
To tell the truth, the gap in the combat effectiveness of the border army of the Ming Dynasty and the main force of the Jiannu Eight Banners is like a moat.
By now, Jiannu has completely occupied the strategic initiative. And Gyeonggi seems to have become an undefended area, and the Eight Banners Army can come and go whenever they want, as long as they are happy, or Liaodong is affected.
Hearing Yang Sichang's words, Wen Tiren's face changed, and he wanted to scold him again.
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, turned his head and asked Zhou Yanru: "Old Zhou Ge, how is the harvest of Liaodong Jiannu this year?" "Unlike steppe Mongolia, the Jiannu are not a nomadic people like their other northern neighbors. In fact, in the past few decades, Jiannu has gradually changed fishing and hunting to farming, and implemented the Han cultural system in the Central Plains, which is no different from the Ming Dynasty in Shanhaiguan.
Zhou Yanru: "Your Majesty, it has been very cold in the past two winters, and the life of Jiannu over there in Liaodong is not easy. Recently, Jiannu has gathered a large number of troops on the border with our DPRK, and it is possible that they will go south to plunder on the days when there is no success. The minister thought that Yang Ge Lao's concerns were somewhat reasonable
。 ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Wen Tiren provocatively, and said slowly: "The minister thinks that Lu Xiangsheng's Xiongjun can be urgently transferred to the Xuanfu and take up the post of Xuan and the Great Governor." ”
Wen Tiren was annoyed in his heart, and interjected: "Your Majesty, if Lu Xiangsheng and the Tianxiong Army are transferred back to Gyeonggi, what will happen to the Southern Suppression Bureau?" Now, the thief is about to be wiped out by me, how can he relax at the critical moment? ”
Zhou Yanru sneered: "Shoufu's words are so good, it doesn't make sense, is it possible, the Southern Suppression Bureau will not be able to do it without him, Lu Xiangsheng?" Could it be that Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are all decorations? Shousuke had never fought and did not know soldiers. In this war, if an army fights continuously for a year, it will naturally be tired and have no fighting spirit, so it will have to withdraw and recuperate. If the Xiong army has just gone through a bloody battle today, it should also retreat. Let others also get some military merits, and there is a chance to serve the monarch. Lu Xiangsheng has now been named the crown prince Shaobao, if he completely annihilates the thieves, how should he be rewarded. Moreover, he is the commander of the army, so it is impossible for him to make a festival envoy and make a feudal town, right? Shoufu spoke for Lu Xiangsheng like this, what was his intention. Oh, but I forgot, during the Spring Festival, Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to send five thousand taels of charcoal to Shoufu. ”
Wen Tiren didn't expect Zhou Yanru to even know about this kind of thing, his face was red with anger, and he shouted angrily: "Zhou Yanru, you spew blood!" Lu Xiang's promotion is in the community, and the benefits are in the future, but you slander him for An Lushan and Shi Siming, and the affairs of the country are all bad in the hands of traitors like you. ”
The two began to quarrel fiercely, and Emperor Chongzhen only felt a headache. What happened to a good success, but in the end it became like this?
Rubbing his faintly swollen temples, ignoring Wen and Erren, who were attacking each other, Emperor Chongzhen asked Yang Sichang: "Elder Yang Ge, you go on." ”
Yang Sichang's face was calm, and he only said one sentence: "The thief army is far away in Henan, but Jiannu is kicking the door of the Son of Heaven." ”
Chongzhen straightened his chest suddenly, and said, "Zhou Yanru." ”
Zhou and Wen immediately closed their mouths.
Chongzhen: "Draft, order Lu Xiangsheng to immediately go north to take up the post of Governor of Xuanda." Ordered all the generals of the Tianxiong Army and Ningxiang to lead their troops into Beijing to participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony. As for the southern suppression bureau, in accordance with Yang Sichang's method of four squares and six corners, and ten sides of the net, the governors and governors of various places will assist in suppressing it. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In this way, after a circle, history returned to the original point of truth.
