Chapter 637: Time is Running Out



Standing on the deck and talking, the river breeze blows, and the wind is refreshing.

Sun Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Yuliang: "Pavilion Elder." ”

"The old man has already handed over his errand, and don't mention the title of the elder in the future."

Sun Yuan: "Yes, Wu Dingbo." Have you already transferred the "Frontier Strategy" made by the last general to Hong Chengchou? ”

Liu Yuliang: "It's already turned around, and I think it's already in the hands of Hong Laoheng at this moment." The article at the beginning of the year was very good, and it can be said that I explained the side matter thoroughly. Although Jiannu is fierce, due to the limitations of population and territory, the national strength is not strong. Moreover, Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and it is okay on weekdays, but in the event of a disaster, it is difficult for Jiannu to survive. Therefore, this is the matter of Jiannu entering the army every year, and this is the fact that Yuan Chonghuan used military rations and Jiannu to plan to benefit the enemy. According to what you said in your border strategy at the beginning, our dynasty actually does not need to be too careless in using troops against Liaodong, but only needs to guard all the obstacles and fight a protracted war with the enemy. After more than ten years of confrontation, Jiannu naturally weakened. ”

"Yes, that's what the last general means. To put it mildly, our border army is not an opponent of Jiannu at all, and if we want to restore Liaodong, we must not be in a hurry, and we must make long-term plans. The only way is to take a defensive position and fight with the enemy for attrition and national strength. When Sun Yuan said this, he sighed: "Taking the initiative to attack, unintentionally is the way to die." However, our dynasty has been hit by disasters every year, and there are thieves and armies in the country, so it is difficult to say how long our dynasty can hold out. The question is, what can you do if you don't persist and don't fight protractedly. The problem is that our Son of Heaven is very careful, and I am afraid that when the time comes, he will urge Hong Hengjiu to use troops against Jianzhou as soon as possible. So, at this point, we have to wake him up. ”

"The old man sent this border strategy over just to wake up Hong Chengchou and let him work on His Majesty earlier. lest the war be together, and as soon as the Son of Heaven urges, he will rush into battle with the army. Liu Yuliang: "I don't know if Hong Chengchou can listen to it." ”

Sun Yuan: "Hong Hengjiu is also a person who knows the soldiers, the reason why the Battle of Baoqiu was lost is because the Qin army has never fought with Jiannu before, and he must have listened to Wu Dingbo's words." ”

Sun Yuan can also affirm this in his heart, Hong Chengchou is one of the few commanders who can still be ranked in the late Ming Dynasty, and he has rich military experience, as long as he sees the "Border Policy" he wrote, he will naturally know how powerful it is

。 The person who can leave his name in the history books is not a hero.

Hong Laoheng will be a traitor in the future, which is despicable. But that was later, after the defeat of Songjin and the capture of the enemy.

If he can help him survive this hurdle, maybe Hong Chengchou won't have to be a prisoner of the enemy.

Judging from the real history, Hong Chengchou did a very good job when he first went to Liaoxi. After all, this person has a very high prestige, and he can shock the group of Qiu Ba of the Guanning Army in Western Liaoning. Moreover, Hong Chengchou during this period was still loyal and patriotic.

With him in western Liaoning, he may be able to stabilize the situation in the northeast.

After the defeat of Songjin and Hong Laoheng became a prisoner of Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty could no longer be able to suppress the commander of the Guanning army. And the military gate of western Liaoning has been inbreeding for a hundred years, and only has their own private interests in their hearts, as for the righteousness of the family and the nation, what is it, can you eat it?

Therefore, after Dolgon entered the customs, Wu Sangui directly shaved his hair and became a slave of others. What is angry and angry, that's just an excuse. A person who can be the chief military officer of a town and wield tens of thousands of lives to kill the power, who is not a generation of heroes, may be dizzy for a woman?

As long as Hong Chengchou reads what he has written, as well as the possible strategy for the construction of slaves in the first battle of Songjin and the countermeasures that the Ming army should take; As long as he can withstand the pressure of Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court, step by step, steady and steady, it is not a problem to defend the Liaoxi Corridor.

As long as Liaoxi can be defended, Jiannu will not burn the flames of war directly under the Shanhai Pass. As long as Liaoxi can be defended, the Ming Dynasty will only retain all the field legions that can fight at hand.

The confrontation situation with Jiannu in the north can also be freed up, and the elite border army and a large amount of grain and grass baggage can be transferred to the domestic battlefield, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will be eliminated.

In fact, the key reason why Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong later sat big and even swept the whole world was that the Ming Dynasty lost all the field troops and the strategic materials accumulated in the next year in the defeat of Songjin.

In the end, the Ministry of War could not even send two soldiers to bring the letter to the front line. In such a bad situation, what else is there to talk about the use of troops internally and externally? At this time, the imperial court and Emperor Chongzhen could no longer do anything, they could only wait for an unknowable fate.

The death of the Ming Dynasty, the death of the Songjin War, the death of financial bankruptcy

Because of such and such reasons, Sun Yuan and the Ningxiang army could not participate in the Battle of Jinsong, which would start a year later. But this doesn't mean that he can't do anything, to be honest, Liu Yuliang transferred the article he wrote to Hong Chengchou, and he was still very happy in his heart.

It is also a very meaningful thing to go through one, if it can have a certain impact on this era, and then change the occurrence of the tragedy at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the city of Beijing that was getting farther and farther away, at the beginning, Sun Yuan still felt that he had left today, and maybe he would never have a chance to return here in the future.

But now he seems to have faith again.

He stroked the side of the boat with his hand, and muttered in a voice that he could only hear: "Hong Laoheng, you must come on!" You are also a character, and Sun doesn't want you to be a traitor in the future! ”

"I also have to work hard, this time to Yangzhou, I have to accumulate strength as soon as possible, use two years to make Yangzhou Town stronger, and then form a battalion of people, and then affect the situation in the world."

"Time is running out."

……

According to Sun Yuan's idea, the future Yangzhou town should form two battalions, each with 4,500 men and horses.

One of the battalions was stationed in the local area, and the first battalion was excited, waiting for an opportunity to join the Central Plains battlefield and wrestle with Li Zicheng, an old friend.

In addition, it was necessary to form a naval division to conduct maritime trade and accumulate funds for the growth of the Ningxiang army.

Sailors are a money-paying job, and it takes a lot of money and time to build a ship to recruit qualified sailors.

As for the field corps, it was not so easy to expand. Officers and soldiers are easy to do, but if you want to make instruments, horses, muskets, and artillery, you have to sprinkle a lot of silver.

If you want to be quick but not in a hurry, you have to take your time.

Looking at the tumbling waves in front of him, Sun Yuan realized that a new era had arrived.
