Chapter 446: Things Can Be Simple
Mrs. Hong got what he wanted, and Amin's family was buried alive in that dark courtyard, and from then on, he no longer had to worry that this uncle and brother who always wanted to stab him would climb the wall and come out, nor did he have to worry that this unconscious brother would brazenly ask him for meat to eat, let alone have a headache to think about how to give Amin's cub a title or two that was both affordable and unaffordable.
It is said that Amin's performance before his death was really a good man, not only did he not cry and beg for mercy like other men who loved the Xinjueluo family, but he faced death calmly, and the only request was to ask Ming Jun to let his family have a full meal before he died. This request was satisfied, and the Ming army not only prepared a sumptuous meal for him, but also specially gave him a pot of wine, which can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
After Amin had drunk his fill, he didn't even look at his wife and children, and then jumped into the pit by himself, and the last thing he left to the world was, "Today is finally full." ”
Before starting to solve the banner man in the city, Dayong must first do the Mang Gurtai, although this is a bit of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but there is no way, who let this thief not die, always thinking about making a comeback.
Originally, Dayong also planned to support Mang Gurtai and Hong Tai in the confrontation, and for this reason, he also planned to hand over all the territory in southern Liaoning to Mang Gurtai, use Dengzhou's ordnance to arm a Manchurian self-defense force for him, and if necessary, he could also leave a Jinzhou army to assist in guarding southern Liaoning.
However, the greed shown by Turush and Epilon during the negotiations in Anshan, and the stupidity of Mang Gurtai not yet realizing his true situation, made Dayong determined not to keep this man again, of course, the main reason was that he wanted to tear up the "Anshan Treaty", so Mang Gurtai had to die. Only when he died, no one accused Dayong of treachery.
In fact, choosing a puppet from among the Eight Banners magnates to control the southern Liaoning region is actually beneficial to both the Jinzhou Army and the Ming Dynasty, because with the existence of such a puppet regime of the banner people, the legitimacy of the Hongtai regime will undoubtedly be impacted.
In order to prove the legitimacy of his throne, Hong Tai will definitely not allow the existence of this puppet regime, and he cannot and cannot launch any military action against the Ming Dynasty until this puppet regime is resolved.
Time, Daming lacks time, and Dayong lacks time. For a year or two, Dayong believed that he could build the Jinzhou Army stronger and bigger, and at that time, he would definitely be able to fight a dignified decisive battle with Hong Tai's Eight Banners Army, instead of stabbing him from behind the enemy like a thief like a thief, and when he got off the knife, he had to think about when the enemy would turn around and whether he could run away at that time.
Supporting a puppet who can hold back Hong Tai's hands and feet, this idea has always been in Dayong's mind since he crossed the sea, and after occupying Anshan, this plan is still a drawing, because Dayong can't find a suitable spokesperson, but the appearance of Mang Gurtai has made this plan useful. Whether it is status, prestige, or hatred of Hong Tai, Mang Gultai is obviously the best leader of this puppet regime.
But Ji Lu's plan is not as fast as changing, Dai Shan's death angered Dayong, he changed his mind, he doesn't need any puppet regime, let alone a character similar to Hong Tai, he doesn't want to raise a white-eyed wolf for Da Ming.
Dayong is not Li Chengliang, he knows the horror and danger of these despicable races.
Although the Jinzhou army is not yet able to fight a decisive battle with Hong Tai, Hong Tai cannot pose a mortal threat to the Jinzhou army, as long as Dayong is not stupid, Hong Tai can only look at the sea and sigh, as for whether anyone drags Hong Tai's hands and feet, it is dispensable. Compared with the tactics of hitting and running, accumulating enough strength and coming again, the risk and investment of supporting a Manchurian puppet and Hong Tai to do it against each other is too great.
First, whether it is Amin or Mang Gurtai, or even the dead Daishan, it is impossible for Hong Tai to be the opponent, if the investment in supporting them is too large, in the end, it will be a wedding dress for others, and Hong Tai will be cheapened for nothing. Now Dengzhou is still in ruins, and I don't know how much manpower and money will be invested in Ludao, if it is spread on the stall in southern Liaoning, no matter how big the family is, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it.
Second, Dayong realized that the banner people were actually not credible, such as Mang Gurtai in the case of desperation and delusional equality with the Ming army, using the Ming to strengthen himself, rather than completely surrendering. Wu Heyin is right, this is a man-eating wolf, no matter how you guard against him, he is still a wolf after all.
The nature of the wolf will not change, once there is an accident within the Ming Dynasty and the Jinzhou Army, then this wolf will bite the owner at any time. Wasn't Nurhachi the most obedient dog in Daming back then, and he didn't bite the owner scarred when he arrived, and finally succeeded in biting the owner to death, and changed from a dog to a human.
Who dares to guarantee that the imperial court will not trouble him after Dayong returns to Dengzhou, and who dares to guarantee that Chongzhen will definitely hand over Dengzhou to him as Dayong wishes, in case the military department sends an order to Dayong to return to Jinzhou.
Jinzhou, the place of four wars, undefended, unattackable Jedi, Dayong didn't want to go, he didn't want to become Zu Dashou, and he didn't want to let Daming continue to bleed in Jinzhou because of his existence.
Theoretically, Dayong is in favor of giving up Jinzhou to shrink the Ningjin defense line, at least giving up Jinzhou and only Baoningyuan, so that he is not afraid of the danger of being cut off from the grain route and trapped in the isolated city.
The great courage of the gambler in the previous life liked to settle accounts, he calculated the accounts, and the population in the entire Houjin control area was about 800,000, which was confirmed when the Ming army raided the Houjin household.
Han Chinese account for more than half of the 800,000 population, about 600,000, while the banner people are only about 200,000, and the real number of Manchurian bannermen is between 120,000 and 150,000.
Half of these 100,000 people are women and children, and less than 60,000 young people can actually go into battle. Now there are nearly 400,000 Han people in the area controlled by the Ming army, and 40,000 or 50,000 women and children in the Eight Banners, so as long as all the Han people in the controlled area are moved to Dengzhou and all the tens of thousands of women and children in the Eight Banners are killed, the population of Houjin will be less than 200,000.
In other words, Hongtai's expeditionary Mongol army would all be single, with no slaves to cultivate and graze for them, no women to give birth to children for them, and no logistical supplies and sources of supplies to them.
How long can an army with no more supplies exist?
If Dayong can really move all the Han people in the control area inward and kill all the banner people, then on paper, the Houjin will basically be considered to be ruined. Unless Hong Tae is really a son of the plane and can miraculously start from scratch.
Dayong decided, and just did it - move all the Han people and kill all the banner people.
It's as simple as that
Before making a move against the banner man in the inner city, Dayong must first deal with Mang Gurtai and his son. Although Mang Gurtai is already a toothless tiger, after all, there are still hundreds of Liaoyang banner soldiers under his command, and there are more than 1,000 Han people with blue flags. Therefore, Dayong first sent someone to send an order to Ebilun, asking him to lead his troops and horses to the Yellow Banner Station in Nanguan to prepare to receive the bannermen, and then take his personal guards to the artillery camp in the outer city to explain Mang Gurtai.
After leaving the Fengtian Gate, Dayong's face suddenly changed - the sky suddenly gusted with a gust of wind, and with the howling wind fell a goose-feather snow.
