Emperor Zuwen of the Ming Dynasty, before the end of Jiajing, has never been defined, in order to reward Duoyan Sanwei, that is, Wuliang Ha Sanwei, the reason why there is Emperor Wen is to borrow the soldiers of Wuliang Ha Sanwei to complete the Jingjing, the earliest source is the last year of Jiajing, Zheng Xiao's "Emperor Ming Siyi Examination" and the second year of Wanli Yan Congjian's "Shuyu Zhou Consultation".

In fact, this statement is entirely because the literati do not know soldiers, and they can't understand why Emperor Yongle abandoned Daningwei.

This is not considering the background of the times at the time, completely relying on his own ideas to guess, Qi Jiguang can understand that only the army and no people in Daningwei is actually difficult to last, this is the remnant of the Yanshan Mountains, it is a hilly area, six points of mountains, three points of water, one point of field, and it is not suitable for farming.

Emperor Wen never imagined that his grandson Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen could make a wave of civil fort changes, and he would never have imagined that in the early Ming Dynasty, the civil officials who only dared to whisper would make a whole thing like a civil official who killed the border generals and accelerated the revival of the civil army.

At that time, the strategy of abandoning Daningwei and replacing defense with offense and maintaining stability on the frontier was correct, but after arriving in Yongle, the curtain of Xingwen Kuanwu was opened, and it seemed that it was a stupid decision to abandon Daningwei.

Fortunately, Qi Jiguang came and entered Daningwei.

The dilemma that Emperor Wen faced at the beginning, in fact, Da Ming also has to face it now, this place had no output, it was not suitable for farming, and it was very expensive to maintain the Daning Dusi, and it is the same now.

Therefore, the withdrawal of the barbarian tribes was very decisive, because the Tumen judged that the Ming Dynasty was only to show off its might, and it could not stay for a long time, and when the court's favor arrived, the Ming Dynasty should withdraw its troops.

"Found it, found it!" Chen Dacheng rushed over with two pier marquis, like the wind, and said with excitement on his face: "I found what the court wanted." ”

When Wang Chonggu supervised the Yongding Wool Factory, he found a kind of bentonite clay in the northwest, which can be decontaminated, and people in the northwest often use it to bleach, this bentonite clay has a strong adsorption force, and can absorb various impurities of wool, and the most important thing is to make the wool whiter and more supple.

Bentonite clay was supplied by Altan Khan, and even Wang Chonggu could only buy it from the northwest, and it was expensive.

Fortunately, after this bentonite clay is filtered, it can be used repeatedly and not too passively, but in the expansion of production capacity, it will become constrained because of the supply of bentonite clay.

This made Wang Chonggu very annoyed, in the past, it was the imperial court that stopped him from making money, and now it is Altan Khan who stopped him from making money by using the bentonite white clay to prevent Wang Chonggu from making money.

After Qi Jiguang entered Daningwei, he was also looking for this kind of bentonite clay, and Daming Wuhua Tianbao used everything, but the bentonite was really not found in the two capitals and thirteen provinces.

Activated clay can make vegetable oil, mineral oil, animal oil, monosodium glutamate, sugar, wine, etc. adsorption and decolorization, the decolorized oil does not volatilize acid, nor does it not return color, clear and transparent, the amount of Daming is very large, you want to make sugar, make sweet potato burning, oil extraction, etc., you need to use this adsorption clay, but Northwest Altan Khan is very greedy.

"Where?" Qi Jiguang looked at the white soil recovered by the marquis of the pier, and was sure that it was the kind of soil that could be washed and washed away, and asked where the soil and mine were.

Chen Dacheng hurriedly replied: "Taotu Mountain! ”

"Let's go and have a look." Qi Jiguang took the deputy commander-in-chief and the generals to order 4,000 people, and went straight to the place about twenty miles northwest of Daningwei, and saw the earth mountain, the whole mountain was covered by snow, and an outline could be seen.

The strategic purpose of the wool business is essentially to let the grassland people raise sheep and occupy the water and grass pastures, so that the grassland people can't raise horses, and the grassland people who can't raise horses will lose the mobility they are proud of, so that the Ming Dynasty will be safer, and the wool business needs to use a lot of bentonite, or bleached white clay, and there is a whole mountain in front of it, so that the wool business can expand production.

This is a good opportunity for Daming, Qi Jiguang stepped forward, slowly squatted down, and brushed away the white snow with his hands, under the white snow is already frozen, which is a common phenomenon of snow in October, the ground temperature is high, the snow begins to melt, the temperature continues to drop, and the melting snow begins to freeze.

This is also the reason why the grasslands always choose to move south in autumn, and once winter comes, the mobility of the horses begins to decline.

Qi Jiguang pushed aside the snow, saw the white soil under the snow, and showed a very sunny smile, the Tatars are not stupid, they also need to wash clothes, in fact, there is a small workshop here, which is responsible for mining these white soils, which can be washed and washed away.

"How many captives are there this time?" Qi Jiguang stood up, patted the snow on his gloves and asked.

Ma Fang opened his mouth and said, "Seven thousand captives." ”

"How about digging here?" Qi Jiguang and Ma Fang discussed the disposal of prisoners of war, for these prisoners of war, according to the past practice, they were also castrated as coolies, this method is very common, this era is done, Qi Jiguang plans to let these prisoners of war come here to dig white soil and send them back to Daming.

Then the official road post road from Daningwei to Xifengkou has a practical effect.

If you can resettle people from the mainland, even if you can't farm the land here, you can also raise sheep, the dilemma faced by Emperor Wen during the Yongle period, the same must be faced during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, if the Daning Dusi has a certain economic foundation, it is not a tasteless food, a pity to abandon the chicken ribs.

"Yes." Ma Fang thought for a moment, and chose to agree, he is a military general, he is also a Jin Party, he is in the general army of Datong, because he inspected the Shilang to inspect Datong and the Great Wall of Xuanfu and found problems, Ma Fang was impeached and finally dismissed, and then served as the deputy chief soldier of the Beijing Division.

If the Ming court controls the white soil, then Wang Chonggu's control over the Yongding woolen factory will be further weakened, which is a weakening of the Jin party, and the victory of Jingying outside the Saiwai will also make the Jin party more passive, Ma Fang has 10,000 reasons to prevent Qi Jiguang's victory, and Zhang Siwei has not looked for Ma Fang, but Ma Fang has a reason, he can't prevent Qi Jiguang from winning.

Ma Fang is a military general, no matter what kind of political spectrum, Ma Fang's primary identity is a military general, he fell from a southward return, step by step with his military exploits to climb to today's position, everything he does comes from military victories.

At the age of ten, he was taken captive by the Tumut Department to Saiwai, and he suffered a lot before he fled back to Daming.

Therefore, he agrees with Qi Jiguang's decision, even if it will weaken the Jin Party's voice in the DPRK to a certain extent.

"We may need to change our operational objectives." Qi Jiguang stomped his feet and said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue, go all the way north, hit Quanningwei, and do not withdraw the army, but completely occupy Quanningwei, and force the Tuman Khan to completely drive out of Liaodong." ”

"What does Mr. Ma think?"

Quanningwei is located in the pass of Tianshou Mountain (Great Xing'an Mountains), occupy and restore Quanningwei, Tuman Khan can only go west and Altan Khan continue to bite, for the Ming Dynasty, occupy Quanningwei, which completely cut off the connection between the North and Jiannu, which is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty through Liaodong.

Qi Jiguang planned to change his strategic goal, from the original coercion of Quanningwei and forcing the five Khalkha troops to withdraw their troops, to completely attacking, attacking and occupying Quanningwei.

This step was extremely risky, and Qi Jiguang was also a little hesitant, which was not very much in his military career.

Ma Fang immediately shook his head and said: "It's too far, our logistics can't keep up at all, this time out of the fortress to fight, it is completely enough for us to defeat Daningwei, continue to go north, just drive the Beiyu, and completely control Daningwei in the hands of my Daming, Qi Shuai!" Don't be too aggressive. ”

"Our advantage is artillery, it is firearms, these require logistics, once the northern captives cut off our supplies, the Ming army immediately fell into a desperate situation."

Ma Fang thinks that this is a military adventure, it should not be so radical, this time he took back Daningwei, next time he will go further, it is appropriate to take inches, it is too radical, once defeated, even if the emperor does everything possible to protect him, it will make Jingying fall into a huge passivity.

Ma Fang insisted on his attitude very much, even if Qi Jiguang was the chief soldier, he still continued: "We are a Beijing battalion that has been trained for three years, plus the Jizhou army, the lone army is deep, there is no flank, no logistics, it is too dangerous." ”

"Do we have another chance to attack?" Qi Jiguang looked at Ma Fang and asked quite calmly.

Qi Jiguang is a general who doesn't like military adventures the most, but he must consider whether this is the only opportunity for the Ming Jingying to attack, if so, then the risk is worth it.

"Yes!" Ma Fang said categorically, according to his judgment of the court, he thought that this expedition was just the beginning.

Qi Jiguang wanted to change the battle plan, mainly for two reasons, the first is whether the imperial court will continue to support the Northern Expedition of the Ming Jingying, and the second is the Taotu Mountain in front of him, the appearance of Taotu Mountain is likely to change the extremely fragile balance between the DPRK and China.

Qi Jiguang still has a pessimistic attitude towards the current court.

In fact, this battle, in the eyes of many courtiers, is completely for the purpose of showing off his military might, and under the suspicion of the lord Shaoguo, he really needs a martial power to deter the murderers who are eyeing him around, so the courtiers are also willing to promote martial arts, so it will be a good fight, Qi Jiguang had better lose and impeach Qi Jiguang!

Once or twice, it is okay to mobilize the people, but if the Northern Expedition continues, will the courtiers really support it? Not to mention Huaiyuanren's old-fashioned remarks, Qi Jiguang, as a martial artist, can think that with the eight words of Chen Qiao's mutiny and yellow robe, he can set off a monstrous opposition to public opinion.

Moreover, Daningwei is a land of chicken ribs, and the battle and occupation of the Daming Jingying battle is actually meaningless, and the emergence of the Taotu Mountain bentonite and wool business is likely to affect the wind direction of the imperial court.

Qi Jiguang always held a pessimistic attitude, not that he didn't trust His Majesty, but that he didn't trust the Ming court.

Even this battle, merits and demerits, may become ambiguous, this is the current dilemma of the Ming martial arts, winning is also wrong, losing is also wrong, not losing and not winning, the Great Wall is built, and it is right to make people rich.

"I support Qi Shuai's decision-making, and this time out of the fortress operation, I'm afraid there will be another round of debate, alas." Liang Menglong can understand Qi Jiguang's pessimism very much, and agrees to continue to go north to completely occupy Quanningwei, he is not optimistic about the Ming court, there are too many demons and monsters, even his teacher Zhang Juzheng, can only keep the court situation in a relatively stable state.

"No, no, no, I have confidence in Yuanfu, I believe that he can settle these, we win on the battlefield, then Your Majesty and Yuanfu can win in the court, and if you win, you win, this is an indisputable fact, if the northwest can have a record of winning every battle, can the Jin Party still be like this?" Ma Fang still insisted on her opinion.

Qi Jiguang and Liang Menglong are very pessimistic, but Ma Fang is very optimistic, this is definitely not the end, and the Northern Expedition will definitely continue.

This is a difference in cognition caused by different positions, Qi Jiguang and Liang Menglong have never been Zhang Juzheng's opponents, so it is really difficult for the two of them to understand what a terrible thing it is to become Zhang Juzheng's opponents, especially now under the premise of unlimited support from the imperial power.

As a member of the Jin Party, Ma Fang can feel Zhang Juzheng's horror more intuitively.

On the day Qi Jiguang received Zhang Juzheng's letter, Ma Fang also received Wang Chonggu's letter, Wang Chonggu said very clearly that he must protect the grain and grass to ensure the victory of the war.

"Then let's go ahead with the original plan." Qi Jiguang finally chose a more secure way in hesitation.

He looked to the south, he chose to trust His Majesty, believing that His Majesty would still give him the opportunity to show his ambitions, and His Majesty promised to give him a golden iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

As soon as the news came out that the Beijing camp entrenched in Daningwei was heading north again with 20,000 troops from Jizhou, the Fifth Khalkha Department immediately chose to withdraw its troops.

Once the Khalkha Khan chose to turn west in Quanningwei, then the Khalkha Fifth Division, which attacked the eastern part of Liaodong, was immediately wrapped in dumplings, and was sandwiched by the Jingying, Jizhou Army, and Hakka soldiers in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, and finally became a turtle in the urn.

Khalkha Wanhu's reaction was extremely fast and he ran fast, but he was still bitten by Li Chengliang's tail, chased and killed for more than 30 miles, leaving more than 1,000 heads, and fled in embarrassment, and the Ming army won a complete victory.

Qi Jiguang led his troops to withdraw to Daningwei, and in this battle, the Ming Dynasty completely defeated the barbarian tribes.

The good news was transmitted back to the Beijing Division along the post road that had not yet been fully restored, and was transmitted to the Imperial Palace by the Military Department and the Beizhen Fusi at the same time.

At this time, the Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun listened to the government, worried about the war in the Northeast, he was a little careless about state affairs, Zhang Juzheng, Ge Shouli, Hai Rui, Wan Shi and someone he didn't know died, please give the court a name, the wind power public opinion everyone is called virtuous, the emperor has grown up a few years old, some began to rebel, the more public opinion said that this person is virtuous, the more the emperor feels that this person is not virtuous.

The emperor's rebellion was not directed at Zhang Juzheng, but against these courtiers.

"Report! Jingying Emergency! Ti rode into the Wenhua Hall like a wind, and handed a telegram to Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou, and Zhao Mengyou presented it to the imperial front.

Everyone looked at the little emperor holding the Tang newspaper, and saw a sunny smile on the corner of the little emperor's mouth, everyone knew that the Ming army had won, and it was a great victory.

"Good, good!" Zhu Yijun stood up, took the Tang newspaper and said: "On October 17, Chen Dacheng, the chief soldier of Jizhou on the Western Front, attacked from Xifengkou, went all the way north, won consecutive battles, broke through 14 enemy villages, beheaded more than 1,200 people, captured more than 3,000 prisoners, and joined the middle route army led by Daning Wei and Qi Shuai under the Daning Acropolis on the 23rd. ”

"On October 17, Qi Shuai led the Beijing battalion from Guangningwei, from Guangningwei out of the fortress, successively recovered Yingzhouwei, Fushu County and other passes, and arrived at the Daning Acropolis on the 21st, beheaded more than 2,200 ranks, and captured more than 4,000 people."

"On the 25th, Qi Shuai and General Chen combined to attack, and the next day they recovered Daningwei, beheaded more than 1,800 people, captured 300 people, and fled in despair!"

"On October 20, the five Khalkha divisions, under the leadership of the native barbarian Wanhu Su Jianghai, attacked Yixian and Pingyu Fort, but they were all repelled by Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang, beheading a total of more than 200 people, and entering a stalemate."

"On the 27th, Qi Shuai went north again, the five Khalkha troops were forced to withdraw, Ning Yuanbo led the pursuit, beheaded more than 1,000 levels, my Ming army won a complete victory, show off my Ming army!"

Zhu Yijun focused on explaining the process of this big victory! This round of attack and defense seems to be only ten days, but the battle to conquer Daning is a brilliant victory, which greatly boosts the morale of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy, is not invincible!

The newspaper was circulated to the courtiers, and the courtiers began to talk about it, and everyone was beaming.

Tan Lun stood in front of the official book screen, pointed to Kanyutu and said: "Once we occupy Daningwei, then our battle line in the northeast direction will change from along the Great Wall to the area of Daning Dusi north of the Great Wall, and will change from strategic passivity to strategic initiative. ”

"In the past, Tuman Khan and Altan Khan could go south at any time from many passes such as Beigukou and Xifengkou of the Yanshan Great Wall, and enter the Ming Dynasty and sack the Gyeonggi region, which was done in the 29th year of Jiajing and the first year of Longqing, and it was not alarmist."

"But now, whether it is Altan Khan or Tuman Khan, if you want to enter the Kou, you must conquer Daningwei, this is the strategic initiative."

"The significance of recovering Daningwei is great, it will greatly increase the initiative of the Ming Dynasty in the northeast, please see, take the five major Khalkha battalions as an example, they want to enter Liaodong, then my Ming army, you can attack from Daningwei, coerce Quanningwei, and the five major Khalkha battalions will have to withdraw."

"In the future, if the Tuman Khan wants to attack my Liaodong and Gyeonggi, he must pull out the thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh of Daningwei!"

"I just hate not being able to walk together, not being able to see it with my own eyes."

Tan Lun was very sorry that he didn't see the recovery of Daning Wei with his own eyes, Qi Jiguang continued to fight and win as always, as long as he was given this opportunity, he could help Daming regain everything he lost.

Tan Lun said very easy to understand, in fact, it is very simple and simple, the past wars always happened along the Great Wall of Yanshan, once it was broken, the iron hoof would loot Gyeonggi, but now the Ming has one more line of defense, and in the future, Tuman Khan and Altan Khan want to enter the Ming Dynasty, then they must break through two lines of defense.

"Da Sima, when the front line is stable, I will allow Da Sima to go to Daningwei to have a look, but I can only take a look." Zhu Yijun still disagrees with Tan Lun's personal experience on the battlefield.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Tan Lun bowed his head and said.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "According to the results of the previous court discussion, let the Yongping Town Guards move to the Daning Guard in the spring next year, fortunately, and even be an official in the same dynasty as the princes." ”

Zhang Juzheng's joy cannot be concealed, Qi Jiguang won again, just like he won before, this victory allowed Daming to gain great strategic initiative, even if people die in politics, is it difficult for future generations to spit out what they have in hand? That was Sima Guang's behavior.

"Has this been discussed in court before? Yongping Town moved to Daningwei. Zhang Han frowned and questioned, he didn't have this impression at all.

In Zhang Han's opinion, Da Ming defeated Daning Wei to show off his might, and he came back after the fight, and he still has to occupy it for a long time?

Hai Rui said with a smile: "Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and the people in the Chinese Scholar House have recorded living notes, and you can know it at a glance." ”

Zhang Han was not in the court on the day he passed the court meeting, he asked for sick leave that day, Wang Chonggu was there, Ge Shouli was there, and Wan Shihe was also there, but no one told Zhang Han the content of the court meeting that day, which also exposed a basic fact, on the day Zhang Han asked for sick leave, he didn't pay attention to what decrees were passed by the court at all.

This is a typical corpse vegetarian meal, as a courtier, Zhang Han is very unqualified.

"Shouldn't you give Qian Anbo and Ning Yuanbo world coupons, this is a rare big victory." Wan Shihe looked at Kanyutu, even if he didn't understand military affairs, he also knew the importance of Daningwei, Daningwei abandoned the land, but one of the stains on Emperor Wen's body, a more serious strategic mistake than killing Fang Xiaoru and the ten clans.

"Uncle Zong, will the world bond have the influence of public opinion?" Tan Lun said very worriedly, the courtiers chattered, afraid that Wan Shihe would also be scolded by the time.

Wan Shihe said gently: "Military merits are given to the world, this is a practice for two hundred years, and the ancestors have made the law on the top, and they dare not disobey it." ”

What he means is that if you scold, you will scold, the ancestors have become the law, how can he violate the book of the Ministry of Rites?

"Didn't Ning Yuanbo just behead one thousand or two hundred levels? Why do you want to give Ning Yuan Boshi coupons? Isn't this an unclear reward and punishment? Zhang Han, the secretary of the ministry, raised his doubts, Li Chengliang beheaded 1,200 and gave the world bonds? This is a hereditary reckon, and the name can not be given lightly.

"Qi Shuai's forward is Li Rusong, Li Rusong is like a sharp blade in this battle, tearing apart the defenses of Tuman Khan at a very fast speed, what does Zhang Shangshu mean, let the Li family have two lords? That's not impossible. Wan Shihe looked at Zhang Han and explained calmly.

When Zhang Han heard Wan Shihe's reason, he could only nod and say, "So, it should be." ”

Wan Shihe's reasons were extremely sufficient, so that Zhang Han could not object.

Li Rusong is the eldest son of Li Chengliang, Li Rusong defeated the enemy in battles, and his contribution was indispensable, but one family and two lords, that was the treatment that only Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, had, and it was because of Jing Nan that there was a situation of one Xu and two lords.

According to the primogeniture inheritance system of the Ming Dynasty, even if Li Rusong dies on the battlefield, the title of Earl Ning Yuan is still Li Rusong's son.

Zhang Han's dead face can actually be blocked, for example, this battle took place outside the Saiwai, the battle achievements are unknown, is it an exaggeration, should send the imperial history to investigate.

But Zhang Han really couldn't say such a thing, saying this was to offend Liang Menglong, Liu Yingjie, and the military affairs of the counselors to death, Wuxun Zhang Han was not afraid, but the civil official Zhang Han was still very afraid.

found out that there was no military merit, so Zhang Han used his head to compensate Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang?

"Intended Reward! In addition to the reward, the sergeants participating in the war were given three taels of silver each, and the jacket was purchased, and the silver was out of the inside. "Zhu Yijun is very happy, really happy, and intends to immediately announce to the world that the Ming army has achieved such a big victory outside the Saiwai.

Wang Chonggu finished reading the recital, and said in great surprise: "Bentonite! They found bentonite in Taotu Mountain in Daningwei! ”

"What, Wang Shangshu is not happy?" When Zhu Yijun heard Wang Chonggu say this, his face immediately became a little gloomy, not only did your Northwest Jin Party have bentonite, but the imperial court also had bentonite, is Wang Shangshu so unhappy?

Wang Chonggu didn't pay attention to the change in the emperor's face, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, this Altan Khan asked the third lady to inform Xuanda Governor Fu Wu Dui, next year the price of each bag of bentonite will increase by one silver, and the price of wool will rise to three dollars and four cents, and he will sit on the ground with his mouth wide open!" A pound of wool is a penny and a penny, and I refuse to do it if he rises so much, but there is nowhere else to buy it, and it is a time of sorrow. ”

"He doesn't sell it, we have it too."

"What the Great Sikou is thinking about, it is true, it is all dependent on the supply of Altan Khan, and it is indeed easy to make trouble." Zhu Yijun's face immediately recovered, and even the title was restored from Wang Shangshu to the honorific title of the Great Sikou, don't pant when you speak, it's easy to misunderstand!

Wang Chonggu didn't pay much attention to the change in His Majesty's title, he saw the word bentonite, his mind was on it, and he naturally doubted, what is the reserve of this peach Tushan bentonite, whether it can be excavated, how much it costs to Beijing, and whether the bandits along the way are serious, all of which are questions that Wang Chonggu is thinking about.

The expansion of the Yongding woolen factory has entered a bottleneck period, and Altan Khan not only does not give sufficient supply, but also increases prices. This made Wang Chonggu's head almost scratch bald in the past few days, so Wu Dui kept saying that he would agree for the time being and take the credit for the woolen factory, but Wang Chonggu was not willing to agree.

"Good, good." Wang Chonggu finished reading the Tang newspaper, and praised it again and again, the court asked him to supervise the woolen factory, he was not effective, His Majesty and Yuan Fu would have opinions on him Wang Chonggu.

Zhang Juzheng frowned, looked at Wang Chonggu and asked, "Altan Khan wants to raise the price of wool?" ”

"Isn't it? Tripled. Wang Chonggu shook his head again and again and said: "I sent him a letter, he said that it was the third lady who proposed the price increase, and now the third lady has the final say in the Jin country." ”

Zhang Juzheng's tone became impatient and said, "The rat's eyes are bright." ”

Don't look at the current Ming Dynasty and the previous Ming Dynasty are completely different, Altan Khan Road is narrow.

Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!
