Chapter 845: Guan Ning Army

Qi Jiguang also saw these problems when he was stationed in Jimen, so he wrote to Zhang Juzheng and proposed a solution to the unified training of the national army, and suggested that the national army should take turns to come to Jizhen for training, but unfortunately this plan that was extremely beneficial to the Ming court was not implemented for various reasons, and the control of the Ming court over the generals was getting weaker and weaker, and now it has made a monster like the Guanning army.

They held the highest silver in the Ming Dynasty and the most advanced weapons in the whole East Asia, and confronted the Jurchens behind the Ningyuan Jiancheng City in Shanhaiguan, which was built with astronomical amounts of silver, to maintain the war situation.

As soon as someone wanted to put an end to their incomparably comfortable life, they and the civil and military officials behind them, who had also benefited a lot from the Liao, would resort to all kinds of means to completely defeat these people, and their desire to fight these battles was much more resolute than fighting the Jurchens.

Sichuan Army, Qi Family Army, White Pole Army, Xuan Army...... Countless Ming troops who were worthy of a war were buried in the land of Liaodong by them in various ways, but their Guanning army survived again and again, and finally caused the available soldiers of the imperial court to continue to decrease, and they could no longer balance the Guanning army, so they could only let this monster continue to absorb nutrients from the body of the Ming Empire, until the end of the empire, they surrendered to the Manchu Qing without hesitation.

And the Ming Dynasty has continued to bury the elite of the Ming army in the Liaodong area since the first battle of Salhu, so although he knows that the Guanning army is not of the same heart as the imperial court, he can only continue to feed this monster, because once the Liao salary is cut off, these Guanning troops will not hesitate to lead Jiannu into the customs and completely bury the Ming Dynasty, so they have to continue to drink to quench their thirst.

But Li Youke didn't have this kind of thought, the 50,000 New Song Army he collected in the Tiger Talisman was enough to completely solve the Guan Ning Army and Jiannu, the two parasites that constantly damaged the Ming Dynasty to strengthen themselves, so he did not hesitate to order Yuan Chonghuan to be recalled after Mao Wenlong was killed, and let him enter Beijing to distinguish.

No matter how much controversy there was about Yuan Chonghuan in later generations, at least in Li You's opinion, there was no way to solve the problem of Guanning's military tail with his personal ability, and as the governor of Jiliao, the imperial court handed over all the financial rights, personnel rights, and military command rights outside Shanhaiguan to him, but he could not prevent Jiannu from entering the army, which proved his disqualification.

Fortunately, the displaced people in the northwest are only beginning to emerge, Sanshui County was besieged by the displaced people at the beginning of the year, the guerrilla Gao Conglong was defeated and died, and more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were wounded, but the situation here has not yet reached the point of no return, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other well-known leaders of the displaced people have not yet appeared, as long as the two tumors of Jiannu and Guanning Army can be solved before this, Daming may still have to be saved.

The envoy of Jinyiwei sent Li You's holy decree to the hands of Yuan Chonghuan of Ningyuan with an eight-hundred-mile fly, this decree really exceeded the expectations of Yuan Chonghuan and the generals of the Guanning army, in their opinion, after the death of Mao Wenlong, the affairs of Liaodong can only rely on them, according to the temperament of Zhu Youzhen and the princes of the imperial court, it will definitely turn a big matter into a small matter, but they don't want to let Yuan Chonghuan return to Beijing to distinguish.

"Supervisor, right now, Jiannu is reorganizing his troops and horses, and he may go south at any time, you really can't leave Ningyuan." Zu Dashou, the leader of the Guan Ning Army, hurriedly said, if Yuan Chonghuan goes back like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to come to Liaodong again, and it was not easy to get along with this supervisor. It's not worth it.

Zu Dashou is the chief military officer, and his brothers Zu Dale, Zu Dacheng, Zu Dabi, and his nephews Zu Zeyuan, Zu Zepei, Zu Zesheng, Zu Zefa, Zu Zerun, Zu Kefa, etc., are all officers at all levels, from the general army to the deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrillas, and are stationed in Ningyuan, Dalinghe, and Jinzhou Zhucheng, and the warlordization of the Guanning Army can be seen from this.

"Yes, Master Inspector, that Mao Wenlong is domineering and domineering, and he is entangled with Jiannu, you decisively killed him to eliminate harm to the court, and it has been clearly written on the previous fold, so why do you need to explain it again? Besides, the capital is far away, and it will take months to come and go, so how about Jiannu coming and conquering during this time? Wu Xiang, another powerful figure in the Guanning army, also tried hard to persuade him, and his excuses were equally high-sounding; Although he is not surnamed Zu, he is Zu Dashou's in-law.

Then the rest of the generals also advised Yuan Chonghuan not to leave Ningyuan, and after careful consideration, Yuan Chonghuan still accepted their suggestion, "This official originally said to His Majesty that it was five years of Pingliao, but now that five years have not passed, it is really not necessary to return to Beijing to invalidate all the previous operations." ”

"The Inspector is wise!" Zu Dashou and others praised in unison, but they sneered in their hearts, five years of Pingliao? Does Guan Ningjun really have this ability? And even if they can really get Jiannu in five years, they don't want to, when Jiannu is flattened, will the Guanning Army still exist? What do we eat without Liao?

Subsequently, Yuan Chonghuan wrote another letter, explaining why he killed Mao Wenlong, and made a heavy analysis of the current situation in the Jiliao area, indicating that he was very happy to go back to Beijing to explain the matter to His Majesty, but the military situation was really urgent, and Jiannu could go south at any time to invade the border, so at such a critical time, he could not leave Ning Yuan no matter what; And sent someone to deliver the letter to the capital unhurriedly.

In the eyes of the generals of the Guanning army, Huang Taiji will definitely go south in the near future, and at that time, the emperor is afraid that he will not have the heart to pay attention to these small things anymore.

"As I expected." Li You didn't get angry after receiving the recital, he also gave Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ning a chance, as long as he could go back to Beijing to explain the matter, then maybe he would be spared, but obviously they had nothing to fear about their situation and didn't take it to heart.

"Since Jiannu may go south at any time, let Yuan Chonghuan continue to guard Ningyuan, and explain this matter after understanding it at this time." Li You will not echo Yuan Chonghuan's statement like Zhu Youzhen, and confirm Mao Wenlong's crimes, and after repelling Jiannu, he still wants to use Mao Wenlong's rehabilitation to win over the military morale of Dongjiang Town.

More than a month has passed since such a back and forth, and it is getting closer and closer to Huang Taiji leading the army south, maybe it's time to see what Wang Qia has made the Beijing camp look like.
