Chapter 138: The Chaotic Imperial Court
Speaking of this, the middle-aged military advisor persuaded again: "Lord Belle, the slave implores Lord Belle to give an order to withdraw immediately. It is necessary not only to withdraw from the battlefield, but also from the barracks. โ
"Otherwise, when the Haw Par Army forces attack our barracks, under the blow of the Haw Par Army's secret weapons and muskets, what awaits us will be an unprecedented catastrophe. As long as the main force is there, we can go back and equip ourselves with firearms, train our own firearms troops, and then come to fight a decisive battle with the Tiger and Par Army. โ
The men standing behind Dolgon also felt that danger was coming to them step by step. As soon as the military advisor finished speaking, he impatiently persuaded Dorgon: "Lord Belle, you can't fight anymore, if you continue to fight, the warriors with white flags will be wiped out." You must know that, combined with the previous losses, more than 5,000 of our warriors have died in the hands of the Haw Par Army, which is almost a quarter of our total strength under the White Flag. โ
"Please give the order to withdraw from the army immediately for the sake of our white flag future......"
"Please give the order to withdraw immediately......"
With the voices of his subordinates behind him, Dorgon had to lower his head. After letting out a sigh full of helplessness from his mouth, he ordered with a face full of unwillingness: "Since this is the case, then retreat the army......
Speaking of this, Dolgon suddenly thought of something, changed his words, and continued: "After we go back, we will also train our own firearms troops with white flags. As Mr. said, when we have our own firearms unit with a white flag, we will come to the Haw Par Army for revenge. โ
Under the cover of night, Dolgon left tens of thousands of corpses behind him. Wolf Bรจi withdrew from the barracks and returned to Zunhua.
And this time. There are less than ten days left before the Tartars withdraw to the gates.
Facing the victory of the Tiger and Par Army again, facing the corpses everywhere outside the Mushroom Yu City. Wei Zheng didn't do the same as the others. Loud cheers of excitement.
After a mere flash of a smile on his calm face, he regained his composure.
Because he knew that after the Tartars left Zunhua, they had an even more powerful and cunning enemy to face, that is, to reoccupy the court of Zunhua.
The imperial court, which had already been controlled by the literati group, would never allow itself, a person who did not obey orders, to command a strong army on the border and threaten the security of the border and the court at any time.
Wei Zheng was not wrong, just when he was thinking about the imperial court, he was far away in the Ming Dynasty Hall in Beijing. Several powerful factions who published the entire Ming Dynasty are arguing loudly about what under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfied eyes?
And at the heart of this dispute is the Hawpan-Panther Army, who have just defeated Dorgon.
It turned out that after Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree on rewarding the tiger and leopard army was issued, the prestige of the tiger and leopard army began to spread rapidly in Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
For such an army with strong combat effectiveness, which even the fifteenth Beyler of the Tartars could capture, some ministers were jealous, and some ministers were red-eyed. Of course, there are also ministers who are very dissatisfied with this sudden rise of the Haw Par Army.
Among them, the most dissatisfied with the Haw Par Army are the generals at all levels of the imperial court.
Hundreds of thousands of well-armed officers and troops at the border pass failed to defeat the Tartars, a makeshift army of tigers and leopards. Not only defeated the Tartars, but also captured the fifteen Beledodor of the Tartars, this is not a slap in the face to the high-ranking generals of the imperial court. Sue Emperor Chongzhen. The reason why the officers and troops at the border pass were defeated again and again was not because the fighting power of the Tartars was too strong. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers is too low, but the commanders are too incompetent. Not even a small hundred households in Jinyiwei can compare.
In addition to the generals of the imperial court, the literati group, which had already dominated the imperial court, was very jealous of this sudden rise of the tiger and leopard army.
It should be clear that since the establishment of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, the literati group of the imperial court has been hostile to Jinyiwei and tried every means to weaken the power of Jinyiwei. Especially after Chongzhen became emperor, the actions of the literati group became more intensified.
In the eyes of these literati, although Jinyiwei hangs the brand of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, there is nothing that Jinyiwei has done that can be put on the table, and he can be called an eagle dog in the hands of the royal family, and he will do some unsightly things for the royal family.
If the literati clique wanted to stabilize their position in the imperial court, they would certainly not allow the royal family to hold such a powerful institution that could threaten their position and even their lives at any time.
Therefore, during the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei and the civil officials of the imperial court have been in a state of opposition, and the relationship between the two can be said to be intensifying.
Finally, with the trust and support of Emperor Chongzhen, the strength of Jinyiwei was suppressed to a historical low. Now there is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, set up an army at the border pass, defeated the Tartars many times, and captured the Tartars fifteen Belle Duoduo, so that Emperor Chongzhen is full of trust in Jinyi Wei again.
Although the literati clique of the imperial court were not good at fighting, they were very good at fighting for power and profit, and engaging in political struggles.
In their eyes, with the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, plus thousands of strong Haw Par troops joined Jinyiwei. Jinyiwei, who was finally suppressed, will definitely rise rapidly in a very short period of time.
Such a result is absolutely unimaginable for the imperial court's Wenren group.
Changing Emperor Chongzhen's mind, so that Emperor Chongzhen no longer trusts Jinyiwei and trusts Luo Yangxing, these literati think that they can't do it. So, they naturally thought of the Haw Par Army, which was still locked up in a bloody battle.
Therefore, the establishment of the Haw Par Army by Jinyiwei has just spread in the imperial court. The generals who were hostile to the Haw Par Army joined forces with the literati group who controlled the imperial court to deal with the Haw Par Army and the Jinyi Guard, and found a way to separate the Haw Par Army from the Jinyi Guard, and defeat the foreign aid that the Jinyi Guard used to find a strong force.
When the court fell into silence again, a civil official who was the vanguard of the literati group stood up from the rank with a determined face. After making a big salute to Emperor Chongzhen, he said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play......
"Wang Aiqing, please speak...... Chongzhen waved his hand impatiently, and said to the civil official who was still kneeling on the ground, without even saying the word flat.
"Emperor Xie...... The minister thought that since the establishment of Jinyiwei in our dynasty, Jinyiwei has no history of holding military power. Therefore, regarding the establishment of Jinyiwei Jinyiwei, first of all, it does not conform to the legal system of the imperial court. โ
"Second, the main role of the Jinyi Guard is to guard and inspect and patrol, if the strong combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army is merged into the Jinyi Guard, it can be said that it is overkill, and it is a waste of the Tiger and Leopard Army, a strong army that can fight well."
"Third, according to intelligence, most of the soldiers of this tiger and leopard army are from the officers and soldiers who were captured by the Tartars on the battlefield, so it is reasonable that this tiger and leopard army should be merged into the official army of the imperial court and handed over to the imperial court to command the battle."
