In August, Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, the Japanese army withdrew, and the Sino-Korean coalition forces took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Japanese army was defeated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But Yi Sunsin and Deng Zilong, a veteran of the Ming army, also died in the battle of Lulianghai with the Japanese army. In November, the war was largely over. The main battles include the Battle of Bihokwan, the Bloody Battle of Nampyeong, the Offensive and Defensive Battle of Busan, the Battle of Royang, and so on.
This war played the momentum of the Ming Dynasty, played the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and the RB of the fight cowered on the island, and no longer dared to invade. It was not until the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that RB once again dared to mention the invasion of China.
The Battle of NX is to suppress the rebellion of the Beyers.
NX was one of the nine important military towns on the border of the Ming Dynasty, mainly to defend against the MGZ people. The rebellious Bibai was originally a Mongolian Tatar, and during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, because he offended the chieftain, his father and brother were killed, and he joined the Ming army. In the seventeenth year of Wanli, he was promoted to the deputy chief soldier, and after the Zhishi, his son Bi Chengen took the throne.
Bibai was originally a MGZ person, and he was in Jiajing and was promoted to command. Wanli was a guerrilla general at the beginning of the year, and there were more than 1,000 pacesetters in the army, and ****nx was more than desperate. In the seventeenth year of Wanli, he was appointed as the deputy chief soldier, and his son inherited his post. In the nineteenth year, Huoluochi and other departments committed Taohe in an emergency.
Bai asked himself to lead 3,000 people to help, to Jincheng, and saw that the soldiers of all towns were out of it, and on the way back to take the road plug, the soldiers also avoided it, because of the arrogance, there was a light heart at home and abroad. On February 18, 20 years, Bi Baiyin entangled his son Chengen, Yizi Biyun and Tu Wenxiu, etc., to instigate the military Feng Liu Dongyang to rebel, kill Dang Xin and his deputy envoy Shi Jifang, set fire to the office, collect the seal, and release the prisoners.
coerced the commander-in-chief Zhang Weizhong to report the "drastic change of salary" with the party's Xin, and asked for the imperial seal, but Weizhong hanged himself.
After that, Dongyang called himself the chief soldier, with worship as the mastermind, with Chengen and Xu Chao as the deputy commanders on the left and right, and Tu Wenxiu and Biyun as the left and right generals, occupying NX Town, and punishing sacrifices. Troops were sent to Zhongwei, Guangwu, Yuquan Battalion, Lingzhou (now NX Lingwu) and other cities, but Pingyu could not hold on.
The rebels also used the Xuhua Machi area to listen to their herdsmen as bait, and with the help of the Mongolian leader Zhu Litu, the stronger the power became, and the whole Shaanxi was shaken.
On 4 March, the deputy commander-in-chief, Li Yun, was sent to the governor Wei Xuezeng, and the commander-in-chief marched to suppress it, but the rebels were very strong with the support of the Mongols. After that, the Ming Dynasty specially dispatched the deputy Ma Gui to help, and Gui led the Cangtou army to attack the city at the same time, blocking the set of Mongolia, and won a lot.
In April, Li Rusong was transferred to the NX General Army, and the ZJ Daoyu Shimei Guozhen supervised the army, and commanded the Liaodong, Xuan, Da, SX soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, Miao soldiers, etc. to encircle and suppress.
In July, Ma Gui and others destroyed the camp of the sleeve department, chased them to Helan Mountain, and drove them all out of the fortress. Under the command of Ye Mengxiong, who was the governor of Dai Xue, the reinforcements from all walks of life surrounded NX City and flooded the city. The rebels lost foreign aid, ran out of ammunition and food in the city, and at the same time there was a fire inside.
On September 16, Liu Dongyang killed Tu Wenxiu, Chengen killed Xu Chao, and then Zhou Guozhu killed Liu Dongyang. The morale of the army is weakened. After Li Rusong broke through the city, he surrounded the house of Bibai, committed suicide by closing the door, and Chengen and others were captured, so far, the rebellion of Bibai has all subsided.
The last war of the three major expeditions was the Battle of Banshu, which was located between the scgzhbs, with dangerous mountains and rivers and vast thousands of miles. Since Tang Yang Duan, the Yang family has ruled the area for generations, receiving appointments from the central imperial dynasty.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Keng was attached, and Ming appointed him as the envoy of Banzhou Xuan. At the beginning of Wanli, Yang Yinglong was the envoy of Banzhou Xuan, arrogant and domineering, doing many evils, and openly rebelling in the seventeenth year of Wanli. The Ming court was indecisive in response to Yang Yinglong's rebellion and did not take effective countermeasures. Therefore, Ying Long himself pretended to the Ming Dynasty to pay money to atone for his crimes, and on the other hand, he led Miao soldiers to invade dozens of forts and towns in Huguang, SCGZ, and killed residents and plundered.
In the twenty-sixth year, the SC governor Tan Xisi fortified the Qij Hejiang River (now the east of SC Luzhou). In the following year, Yang Guozhu, the commander of the Jiangdong Governor of GZ, led an army of 3,000 to suppress it, but failed, and Yang Guozhu was killed. The Ming court dismissed Jiangdong and replaced it with Guo Zizhang. He also used Li Hualong, the former imperial historian of the former capital, and the squire of the military department, to control the military affairs of Sichuan, Hu, and Guizhou provinces, and transferred Liu Wei and Ma Gui, Chen Lan, Dong Yiyuan and other southern expeditions.
In the twenty-eighth year, the conscription was gathered, and in February, under the command of Governor Li Hualong, the Ming army marched in eight routes, each with about 30,000 people. Liu Wei marched into the army and broke through Nanmu Mountain, Yangjiantai, and Santong natural hazards. He also defeated the Miao army commanded by Chaodong, the son of Ying Long. The heroine Qin Liangyu and her husband Ma Qiancheng also led troops to capture Jinzhu and other seven villages, and together with Youyang and other Tusi troops, they captured Sangmu Pass, which was the first in the battle of Nanchuan Road, and several other Ming armies also won victories.
At the end of March, Liu Wei captured Loushan Pass, and in April, Yang Yinglong led Zhu Miao to fight to the death, and was defeated again. Occupy the dragon claw and sea clouds in the dangerous places where Yang Yinglong depends, and go to the sea dragon hoard (now northwest of Zunyi), and encircle it with the Zhulu army. In June, Liu Wei broke the city again. Ying Long knew that the general trend had gone, and hanged himself with the second concubine, Zi Chaodong and others were executed, the Ming army entered the city, and Banzhou was flat.
Many people in later generations believed that although the three major Ming armies were victorious, the military expenditure was very huge, which caused a heavy burden on the finances of the late Ming Dynasty. But in fact, in the late Ming Dynasty, the war against the Later Jin Dynasty alone cost more than 60 million taels, far exceeding the three major expeditions. The actual military expenditure of the three major levies was allocated in full by the silver of the Inner Treasury and the Tai Warehouse, and after the end of the three major levies, there was still silver in the Inner Treasury and the Tai Warehouse, which was far from reaching the point of breaking the muscles and bones.
It should be said that the three major campaigns are all battles that have to be fought, and if they are not fought or even defeated, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger of losing the country.
Emperor Chongzhen drank a glass of wine, looked at Sun Chengzong, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Aiqing, there were three major expeditions during the Wanli period, and there was another war, right?" Why didn't Xu Aiqing say it, and you didn't mention it? ”
The three of them are a little embarrassed, a war in the late Wanli period, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were exhausted, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and the country was also swept away, it can be said that it was the turning point of the Ming Dynasty from victory to decline, and this war was the famous Battle of Sarhu!
The Ming army was divided into three routes, and the strength was far superior to that of Houjin, but this battle was lost, not only the elite was annihilated by 50,000, but also lost a lot of baggage. The Houjin, who was originally just a nomadic rebellion, became a fairly formal regular army.
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen staring at him, Sun Chengzong sighed helplessly and said, "Lost a battle that shouldn't be lost, Yang Hao is a sinner!" ”
Several people were silent for a while, the battle of Salhu was an eternal pain in their hearts, and they all felt distressed when they mentioned it.
"If you don't say it, then I'll say it!" Emperor Chongzhen put the wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice: "I don't know how to fight, but I know that the reason why Wanli has Zhongxing is because of a person, this person is a model for many Wenchen, a model for Wenchen, he is Zhang Juzheng!" ”
