Chapter 226: Four Provinces Attack Hubei 3
    Whether it is a modern war or an ancient war, as long as it is a war, it is a systematic project. 【Reading.com】
    Wei Zhongxian wanted to help the Emperor of the Apocalypse be a good family in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, standing on the high plane of the country, he must consider all the issues as a whole.
    Wuchang Rebellion, because of the fall of the Chu Palace, the cause of such a serious event as the extinction of the Chu domain became important. However, this matter is still not the most important thing at the level of the country. For a whole year in 1625 AD, the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty was still the attack of the Dongyu and the war in Liaodong.
    So, whether it is the eunuch party that is in power, or the Donglin party that has not been completely cleared, they have been busy with party disputes and Liaodong affairs all year long.
    In the first month of 1626, the famous battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Jurchen Ningyuan Dynasty, which was called "Ningyuan Great Victory" by later historians, officially came to an end.
    In this great war, which made Yuan Chonghuan a heroic figure in later generations, famous, known as the first victory between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty as the victorious side stored 300,000 stone (about 20,000 tons) of grain stored in Youtun was given to Houjin as a greeting gift. To the east of Ningyuan, all the "Fang Valleys" of Tun and Fort have become ashes. The grain of Hedong Fort, Bijia Mountain, Longgong Temple, and Juehua Island were all burned. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians on Kyaw Hwa Island were killed.
    As the Houjin side of the defeated side, in addition to the battle losses of less than 500 people, only two guerrillas and two reserve guards were killed.
    From then on, the entire Liaodong region was really in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and only a few isolated cities such as Ningyuan and Jinzhou remained. The rest of the surrounding area has become the territory of the Houjin Nuzhen.
    The feudal dynasty was able to last on the land of China for more than 2,000 years, and in the original history, it continued to last for about 300 years. This shows that the feudal system is like what "Chairman Chen" said in "Red Dawn", and there is a set of rational things behind it to support it.
    Today's people look at the feudal system, or today's people who hold the concept of scientific sociology look at the feudal system, and everyone will think that the feudal system is actually a lie system.
    The feudal rulers used a set of feudal ethics combined with Confucianism, plus feudal superstitions such as demons, monsters, Buddhas, and immortals to instill lies into the ruling class. Within the feudal ruling class, they deceived each other with fully tampered Confucian doctrines such as courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame.
    Low-level feudal rulers lie to higher-ranking feudal rulers, and high-ranking feudal rulers fool low-level feudal rulers. In short, the entire feudal society was built on the basis of such a set of lies.
    For the group of rulers of feudal society, it doesn't matter what they do (it really doesn't matter, under the long-term stagnation of the level of productivity, how to toss and turn), what matters is how to lie, how to tell the lie more truthfully, how to make this lie self-justifying in the whole feudal society's lie system.
    Yuan Chonghuan is obviously a master here. He has reached the level of specialization, specialization, and art in lying. So much so that in the life-and-death feudal power struggle, he can actually be left and right, and he is equally comfortable between the eunuch party and the Donglin party.
    (Yuan Chonghuan gave Wei Zhongxian a shrine on the one hand, and on the other hand, he could pretend to be Donglin Qingliu, and both sides benefited. It is indeed a master of masters. )
    Wei Zhongxian is not a fool, although he has not seen the truth in the comprehensive lies of the clumps and lumps, but his vision of things is from a realistic perspective.
    In Wei Zhongxian's view, the so-called "Ningyuan Great Victory" this time must be the product of the Liaodong military gate lords and the Liaodong civil official group fooling the imperial court together. For Wei Zhongxian, he didn't need to bother to understand the details of the war. He only needs to understand the expenses on the Liaodong side to make a judgment.
    Before the war, the imperial court allocated a lot of food and materials to Liaodong. During the war, the imperial court still allocated a lot of food and materials to Liaodong. After the war, Liaodong instead asked the imperial court for more food and supplies.
    Wei Zhongxian has not dealt with wars. In 1625, the imperial court put down the rebellion of Hao'an. The imperial court's military spending on the southwest region fell by a large proportion that year. It was a great war that wiped out thousands of traitors at every turn. Now, Liaodong says that it has won the battle. However, after the victory of the enemy, which was actually not 500 men, the Liaodong side asked the imperial court for the allocation of military rations as if it were crazy.
      How much grain the imperial court has transferred to Liaodong in recent years, Wei Zhongxian has a good idea in his heart. Even if there are all the book troops with all kinds of empty quotas and empty salaries, the Liaodong army of no more than 150,000 people will fight 10 major battles of this scale, and there should not be a shortage of military rations.
    Moreover, if it is really a big victory, now Liaodongfang should ask for silver and rewards for the imperial court, rather than asking the imperial court for food at a gallop. Obviously, this "great victory" fought by these bastards wiped out the hundreds of thousands of stone of grain that the imperial court had allocated to Liaodong in the past few years.
    The characteristic of the feudal system of lies is that all people in this system must be held accountable for all the lies in the system. Wei Zhongxian just knew the truth, and he felt really distressed in his heart for the Ming Dynasty and for the loss of the carpenter's family, and he couldn't expose this lie.
    What is even more depressing is that Wei Zhongxian not only can't expose this lie, as the current helmsman of the Ming Empire, he also has to help this group of bastards to fulfill their lies, help them wipe their butts, and fool with them that there is at least a sixth-level carpenter who is not so lacking in heart, the legal representative of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
    Zhu Youxiao's own work (carpenter) is also more related to national affairs. When he heard the news of winning the battle, he was naturally very happy.
    He excitedly issued a decree and said: "I read the Tang newspaper, the thief is very urgent to attack Ningyuan. When the ministers of the city tried to artillery, the thief camp retreated, and the danger was safe, and the grain and rice in the temple were burned, not for the thieves' capital, and the ice near the shore was dug all over the shore to eliminate the danger of crossing the river. ”
    "Yuan Chonghuan's blood oath is among the soldiers and soldiers who work together to plan the plan, and there is a law in dispatching, and Man Gui and others defend the lonely city, and they are determined to fight bravely. It seems that this loyalty, I am happy. Today, the special award is given, and the ministry is still promoted from the top to the top, and it will continue to serve as before. The second department of the household and the soldiers issued 100,000 taels of silver as a reward, and used the drum to fight the spirit. ”
    "The ministers of the town and the province also want everyone to be more careful, and the camera responds, thinking that Ning Yuan is in solidarity, and the mountains and seas are secured. The military department immediately sent someone to go, and Silver then arrived. Oh yes! Encyclical. ”
