Chapter 407: Twenty Exactly Twenty Years

The Qing army's attack should have been twenty years later, that is, when Mr. Wanli was about to hang, but due to the attack of the second wave and the rebellion of Li Rubai, it was advanced by a full twenty years.

Of course, this is only clear to Chu Fan himself.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and wait for me to think about the countermeasures before making plans." Chu Fan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wanli.

Hey? How is this normal again? Intermittent, right? Wanli thought hard in his heart, can this person still fight?

But now, except for Chu Fan, who is a little crazy, there is really no one who can save the situation, let's be a dead horse doctor.

The entire imperial court was in a hurry, but Chu Fan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

first took Qin Hong home to see Shen Wei.

I haven't seen her for a year, Chu Tingting is more than a year old, and she has learned to babble at this time, and when she saw Chu Fan, she called her father vigorously, and Chu Fan laughed, and the joy of family is really rare for Chu Fan, a busy person.

In the year that Chu Fan left, Shen Wei ran both the Royal Company and Chu Fan's own Yingtian Company very well, and after the second round of stock issuance, now the Royal Company has reached a new level in terms of assets and scale.

Mr. Zhang Sixiu, the old father-in-law, and Shen Wenlin, the second father-in-law, cooperated seamlessly, and implemented a new whip law, so that the whole country was in full swing.

Since the introduction of a large amount of low-rent land by the state, and in conjunction with the tax reform, landlords have not dared to hoard land, and can keep up to five acres of land to ensure that they can eat for themselves, and sell the rest to former tenants.

In the past, tenants used to work for others and receive wages, so they were naturally not highly motivated.

Now it is their own land, of course, they have to plant it well, because the country's grain production has nearly doubled, and the tax revenue of the imperial court has also increased significantly.

Coupled with the income from various projects of the royal company, the Ming Dynasty has successfully lifted itself out of poverty, completely taken off the hat of poverty, and Mr. Wanli is no longer a poor emperor.

Chu Fan flipped through the account book and kept nodding in approval.

With Shen Wei's help, Chu Fan's great cause of reform can be carried out so smoothly, it is really a veritable virtuous helper.

The country has money and food, and as long as it resists the offensive of the second wave of countries, it can develop peacefully, but at this time, it has killed a Chen bite gold, forming a difficult situation in which the northeast is attacked from both sides.

Some dogs, raised to be dogs, but some will be transformed into a wolf.

Whether the ancients rebelled or requisitioned, they had to be famous, just like Zhuge Liang's teacher's list, I must say why I beat you, I can't send troops for no reason.

Therefore, since Nurhachi raised his troops and set off from Liubao, he thought of an excuse and listed the seven deadly sins against the Ming Dynasty under the banner.

The first sin is to kill my father and grandfather for no reason.

refers to the fact that his grandfather Jue Chang'an and his father were mistakenly killed in the village of Atai. As I said before, it was really a manslaughter, and Li Chengliang didn't want to, the culprit was actually Nikan.

The second sin, the Ming Dynasty favored Ye Hebu.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty was not good enough for him, but was more partial to Ye Hebu. This is really a dog biting Chu Dongbin, he doesn't know the hearts of good people, if Li Chengliang hadn't favored Nurhachi over the years, it is estimated that he would have been swallowed up by Yehebu and several other tribes, how could he have the opportunity to bite back today?

For the third sin, the Ming Dynasty forced Nurha Chibu to compensate for human life.

It is said that some Ming Dynasty people crossed the border to Nurhachi's side before, and were killed by Nurhachi's order, and later this matter was reported to the imperial court and ordered Li Chengliang to deal with it, Li Chengliang saw that his little brother provoked this matter, so he said You give us ten lives, Nurhachi did not dare to provoke Li Chengliang, and sent ten captives for Li Chengliang to kill to pay for his life. This matter has actually been operated by Li Chengliang and Nurhachi in the dark box, and this product is actually taken out to talk about things, which is really not authentic.

The fourth sin, the Ming Dynasty helped Yehe resist Nurhachi in Jianzhou.

It is said that when Nurhachi attacked Yehe, the Ming army helped Yehe resist. This matter is even more nonsense, how many times did Li Chengliang, the general of the Ming army, secretly help Nurhachi, as long as his brain is fine, he should remember it, as for helping Ye He, it is purely false.

The fifth sin, the Ming Dynasty supported the transfer of Yehe's old daughter to Mongolia.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty supported the Yehe tribe to marry the old daughter of Yehe (the daughter of the Yehe chief) who had been promised to Nurhachi to the Mongolian Horqin tribe, which humiliated Nurhachi. This matter is relatively complicated to say, but in the end, it was Nurhachi and the Yehe leaders themselves who decided this matter, and the Ming Dynasty was only a booster.

The sixth sin, the Ming Dynasty expelled the people of Jianzhou and destroyed the houses and fields.

It is said that Nurhachi sent some people to farm and station on the border of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, he was tricked to expand his territory, but the Ming Dynasty refused and ordered him to retreat thirty miles. This is even more of a backbite, you Nurhachi played a trick on yourself, quietly pushed forward the border, and then the Ming army asked you to retreat, you said that I have built a house and reclaimed fertile land, how can you let me go? How can this be true? If I plant some green onions in your yard, your land will be mine?

The seventh sin, the Ming Dynasty sent Xiao Bozhi to be a blessing.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty sent Xiao Bozhi, who is equivalent to the Qincha, to be an official in the Jurchen territory, and this person was powerful and oppressive of the Jurchen people. Although there are personal reasons for this, it is too far-fetched as a reason to start a war, and if one person is not good, you will subvert the whole country?

Therefore, except for the first of the seven sins, the Ming Dynasty did have a certain responsibility, and the rest were far-fetched and illusory. Want to hit you, do you have a way?

Looking at the Seven Deadly Sins, Chu Fan shook his head helplessly, but he had been thinking about it in his heart.

This Nurhachi raised troops twenty years earlier than in history, which means that now is the time when he is in his prime, and it is also the most difficult time to deal with, but fortunately, Huang Taiji has not yet been born, otherwise he is more than Nurhachi in terms of strategy and ability, and I am afraid that the Qing army will be more difficult to deal with.

Although it was twenty years ahead of schedule, what I didn't expect was that the route of the Qing army's attack had not changed, and the ghost sent the gods to the capital of Hetu Ala again.

Then, if you follow history, the next step of the Ming army will be in Sarhu and the Qing army battle, the Ming army divided into four elite troops to attack Hetuala, and finally in Salhu was completely defeated, almost all the army was wiped out, only Li Rubai's southern route army escaped back.

But history has changed, if twenty years later, the Ming army can still gather 120,000 troops to besiege Hetuala, the current Ming army has struggled to support the second wave of the army, and then mobilized 120,000 troops.

It's simply not possible.

In other words, the current situation faced by Chu Fan is more difficult than the battle of Salhu in history, not to mention 120,000, and now 20,000 people can't get together.

What can be seen now is that in addition to the thousands of people in Ganzhouwei, there are no soldiers available, not to mention that the mines on Heshuote's territory also need to be guarded by troops, otherwise the previous achievements will be wasted and the gains will outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it, Chu Fan decided to find the military department first.

If it weren't for Shi Xing's demotion, it is likely that the old gentleman would have gone to retire and enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty, but the court looked at it and couldn't find any suitable candidates, so he pushed Uncle Yang, who was about to retire, to the position of Shangshu.

Seeing this antique-level Shangshu, Chu Fan was very respectful, and after giving up his seat, Chu Fan said: "In Xia Chufan, Ganzhou Health Inspection School, I have seen Lord Shangshu." "This is actually very funny, the inspector, the Jiupin official, how could he have the opportunity to come to this Shangshu Mansion to pay a visit, and sit with a big thorn.

Of course, this is not wrong, after Chu Fan came back, the emperor didn't remember that he was still a Ganzhou Health Inspection School at this time, so Chu Fan could only report his family like this.

Although Lao Shangshu is old and his ears are a little deaf, he is not deaf in his heart, he knows very well what status and role he has in front of him, so he said very politely: "Lord Chu doesn't have to be polite, this is a war in Liaodong?" ”

"Exactly, I want Lord Monk Shu to ask, how many troops are available in the Ming Dynasty now?"

"Hey, don't hide it, over the years, there have been constant troubles, almost all the troops in the east are in Liaodong, the west is not peaceful, Dali and other places in the southwest have also been harassed by foreigners, and that little bit of troops is also barely supported, you have been to the northwest, I don't need to say that you also know what the situation is, I am a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice."

Lao Shangshu said the truth, although the economy of the Ming Dynasty has improved for more than a year, but the military strength has not been improved, the tens of thousands of people in the Qi family army can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty with the strength of the whole country, basically has consumed all the military resources that can be used.

At this time, it is really difficult to talk about conscription.

When Chu Fan walked out of Shangshu Mansion, he was a little confused.

It's not that he is not in a hurry, but if he can't help Da Ming, is he sure that he can stop Nurhachi's 200,000 army?

As the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, the military department is empty, and Chu Fan, who has no gain, droops his head and walks back, calculating as he goes.

If you raise troops now, 20,000 elite soldiers should be able to deal with Nurhachi's 200,000 army, after all, the nomads have no superior weapons, mainly relying on cavalry bravery and archers to cover, and they do not have any advantage in front of the enhanced version of the three-eyed god gun, but where to find the elite 20,000 troops?

The so-called elite troops are not only advanced in weapons, but must also be scientifically coordinated and trained in terms of military discipline and training, and it cannot be regarded as an elite unit by an individual with a good gun.

In a short period of time, it was difficult to train elite troops, but the Jurchen troops were already eyeing the tiger and ready to go south at any time, and the two cities of Liaoyang and Shenyang were exposed to the enemy and were extremely dangerous.

As I walked, I came across a couple of men who were fighting in the middle of the road, and a group of people were watching.

"Okay, you second dog, see if I don't teach you a good lesson today."

"Hmph, don't say it's useless, anyway, if you don't distinguish it clearly today, we're not done."

The two of them were like oxen, and they were persuaded by people on the side, but they didn't do anything, and they couldn't say that one of them accidentally injured themselves.

I saw that the second dog suddenly made a force, pushed the other person to the ground, pressed it on his body and scolded: "Where is the silver left by my father?" ”

"You are talking nonsense, how can Daddy have any money? That's old and confused before you die, do you believe nonsense? ”

"No way, no matter how confused you are, it's impossible to talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

The overpowered man twisted Ergou's wrist and scolded: "It's all confused, what can't you say?" ”

Seeing the two brothers fighting, Chu Fan stood aside, touched his chin, and suddenly shouted: "There is!" And he ran back.

Everyone was puzzled, looking at this strange person, what was there? What's up? Two brothers fight, do you have it?

Inspired by the fight between the two brothers, Chu Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and an idea.

The idea also starts with the internal problems of the Jurchens themselves.

The Jurchens, in fact, were nomadic people of the same clan as the Mongols, who later migrated to northeastern China for historical reasons.

According to legend, there were three fairies flying in the sky in Changbai Mountain, and they failed to navigate, got lost and fell, and they found a lake, and then they went to bathe. (Isn't there a bathhouse in the sky?) Why do you have to take a bath when you come to the world? )

At this time, a divine bird flew in and brought a fruit in its mouth, and then one of them was greedy and ate the fruit.

Then, she became pregnant and gave birth to a boy, and then the fairy probably thought that this was a bit too hasty to bring it back, otherwise she would think that she was from the lower realm to steal the man, so the boy became an abandoned baby and was abandoned by the fairy.

Then the foundling got up and walked on his own, and as he walked, he became the leader of a tribe.

The name of this foundling baby is called Aisin Jueluo Bucuri Yongshun.

Although this story is really nonsense, but in general, it gives Aixinjue Luo a special identity, immortal.

In any case, they all have fairy blood, and when they fool the common people, they will have more fear and admiration.

Do you think Aixin Jueluo is the whole Jurchen? No, no, no, they are just a tribe of the Jurchens, not all of the Jurchens.

During the Song Dynasty, the Wanyan family among the Jurchens suddenly rose, they established a powerful Jin state, captured Song Huizong and insulted him to death, and fought with Mr. Yue Fei for many years.

At a time when the Kingdom of Jin was preparing to move south in a big way and occupy the warm regions of the south.

The Mongols next door suddenly came down as well.

It is very cold to live in the north, so they all yearn for a warm place, but both the Mongols in the west and the Han people in the south are not so easy to deal with, and they have been engaged for hundreds of years, but they have not succeeded in settling south.

The Jurchens, who were successively resisted by the Southern Song Dynasty, beaten by the Mongols, and then beaten by Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, and were scared, decided to develop obscenely, nested in the northeast, and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was also not ambiguous, and gave them a formal establishment, which was divided into three major departments, namely Haixi, Jianzhou, and Savage, and the Jianzhou Jurchens were divided into Jianzhou Left Guard, Jianzhou Wei, and Jianzhou Right Guard, and the Aixin Jueluo family was the leader of Jianzhou Left Guard.

When Li Chengliang was just mixing in Liaodong, each Jurchen tribe played its own game, and no one paid attention to anyone, Li Chengliang was also very happy, he beat which one was stronger, and then supported those small tribes, so that the Northeast always maintained a delicate balance.

But since the Atai of the right guard of Jianzhou made trouble, the leader of the left guard, Aixin Jueluo * Juechang'an, helped Li Chengliang to negotiate, and as a result, Oolong died in the barracks, Li Chengliang began to support Nurhachi without a bottom line, so there was a matter of Nurhachi unifying most of the Jurchens and fighting against the imperial court.

However, among the Jurchen tribes, there are still some who have not been unified by Nurhachi, that is, the Haixi Jurchen Yehebu.

Because of the historical hatred with the Jianzhou Jurchens, Yehebu is unwilling to join Nurhachi, so it is still independent, and the imperial court has never had the strength to eliminate Yehebu, and regards them as an important force to contain Nurhachi, so this has also become Nurhachi's seven hatreds for the Ming Dynasty, five of which are related to Yehebu, blaming the Ming Dynasty for not helping them unify Yehe.

The reason why Nurhachi later called the country he established Jin was actually the meaning of inheriting the Jin Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, but they were not really descendants of the Wanyan family, while Yehebe was really a descendant of the Wanyan family.

Therefore, Chu Fan finally found a breakthrough point, yes, it is the Haixi Jurchen Ye Hebu, which can be used by me.

"Liu Dali."

Hearing Chu Fan's call, Liu Dali trotted all the way to the front hall, where Chu Fan was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

"You help me deliver a letter, but keep it hidden, and you need to be safe."

In ancient wars, everyone seemed to be numb to death.

But after Li Rusong and Zha Dashou died in the battle in Liaodong, Chu Fan was actually very sad in his heart, in the modern era of peace, in addition to illness and death, accidental casualties are very rare, people rarely experience the unexpected departure of people around them, so they cherish everyone around them.

Liu Dali is about to ask about your letter? I'll send it to you in the afternoon, but I don't want Chu Fan to say, "You go and prepare your luggage, and you will leave tomorrow." ”

Dare to love or a long distance?

After arranging the delivery of the letter, Chu Fan was not idle, and immediately sent letters to Gugeguo, Ganzhouwei, and Tianshuiwei, it seems that this is going to be played for real.

"Xianggong, guess who I met?"

Zhang Yutong has just returned to the capital, and has taken Chu Pingping to walk around the street for a few days in the past few days, and has been in the small city of Tianshui for a long time, and the children are almost forgetting the prosperity of the capital, so the mother has been with her for the past few days to make up for her daughter.

"Look at your sweat, your body is weak, usually pay attention, don't always be too tired, Ping'er wants to play, let her Erniang Sanniang take her there." Chu Fan held Zhang Yutong's cheek with both hands and said distressedly.

"Oh, I'm fine, I'm more active, and I feel more comfortable, I met Dr. Wan on the street just now."

"Oh? Where is he? Come with me and see. ”

"Hahaha, how dare you bother the officials to come to see me, the old student is not here to visit the officials."

It was Wan Mizhai who spoke, laughing loudly as he walked towards Chu Fan.

Chu Fan turned around to see that it was an old acquaintance, an old colleague, and he was also smiling, and couldn't help it, he hugged Wan Mizhai and said: "Oh, you are really, you came to the capital but didn't come to see me, if it wasn't for Yutong meeting Mr., wouldn't have seen you?" ”
