Chapter 334: Bai Qi's War Strategy
In that battle, corpses were killed all over the field, and blood rushed to the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Three months later, the Ministry of War received the good news from Bai Qi: defeat all the rebel forces, behead more than 20,000 ranks, and solve the hidden danger of rebellion in the Qiangui Mountains once and for all.
The problem of the rebellion was solved though.
However, the problem of white rise has come.
He presented the impeachment of Bai Qi to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, saying that Bai Qi brutally killed the court officials (Tusi were all court officials) and indiscriminately killed innocents (most of the mountain people were killed after they fell), and regarded the king's law and the benevolence and righteousness of heaven and earth as nothing, which was equivalent to evil demons and ghosts, and asked the three law divisions to arrest Bai Qi immediately and punish him for treason.
The war has come to this point, there are so many killings, and the rebellion has been quelled, but the trouble caused by Bai Qi is indeed not small.
was impeached by a large number of officials, Bai Qi did not sit still, he directly defended himself to the apocalypse.
It's a long twist.
The meaning of the whole excerpt is summed up: "The rebellion of Qiangui has been suppressed repeatedly for decades, just like the epidemic of plague, the rebellion is carried out at the time of rebellion, and the rebellion is suppressed, and the cycle is endless, and the reason for this is nothing more than two points, that is, the officials are greedy and ignorant, and the people are cunning and cruel. When the entire counterinsurgency army was at stake, the minister used this power to quell the bandits once and for all, although the means were fierce, but instantly turned the entire tide of the war, so it was not only innocent, but meritorious. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will be able to see clearly. ”
This reason is a bit far-fetched, to be honest. However, the apocalypse is secretly happy in the heart.
Because the rebellion on Qiangui's side, as Bai Qi said, is indeed a stubborn disease, which will recur every once in a while, and each time it is more powerful than the previous one, and it is not to suppress it, and it is not to suppress it, which makes Tianqi have a headache.
Although the method used by Bai Qi was very extreme, it was useful, and it removed a piece of Apocalypse's heart disease.
It is precisely because of this that Tianqi is noncommittal about the impeachment of Bai Qi by the officials. In addition, the emperor's teacher, Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the East Pavilion University and a scholar of the Ministry of War, took pity on Bai Qi's talent, and the Shangshu Tianqi interceded for him. The apocalypse pushed the boat smoothly, ordered Bai Qi to scold him a few words, and then dismissed him from his post as the chief soldier, and transferred back to the military department in the capital to take up an idle post with nothing to do.
Bai Qi was handsome, and was suddenly transferred to a position where he didn't have to worry about anything, and the depression in his heart can be imagined. Therefore, when he met Yan Long alone, the first thing he said was: "Childe, please give Bai Qi a soldier, Bai Qi can help you seize the world." ”
Bai Qi is tall and thin, his facial contours are like knives and axes, the bridge of his nose is high, straight as a sword, and his eyebrows are like blades flying straight to his temples.
His eyes were sharp, but when he looked at Yan Long, he was extremely respectful.
Yan Long pulled up Bai Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Bai Qi, you expect the enemy Lily, surprisingly endless, with your talent as a commander, I believe that in time, it will be able to shock the world." ”
Bai Qi sighed: "It's a pity that in the court, there are very few people who know me." Only if I can win the world, can I show my life's ambition. ”
Yan Long laughed and said, "Then you don't have to wait so long, now that there are frequent wars in Liaodong, your great talent will soon be displayed." ”
Bai raised his sword eyebrows, and he said to Yan Long: "In the area of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong's superintendent is based on the fortified city to hold on, although it can gain an advantage in strategy, but the Jurchen war horses come and go like the wind, and although they can resist the enemy only with defensive fortifications, they cannot take the initiative to kill the enemy, and tactically speaking, they are sluggish and not enterprising. My tactics do not fit Inspector Sun's routines. He doesn't need me, it's understandable!"
Yan Long said: "Inspector Sun Chengzong was ordered to be in danger and stick to the danger, but he just took measures according to the time and local conditions. The field troops of the Ming Dynasty have been abandoned for many years, and if they rashly gather heavy troops to fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens, they will only incur the defeat of the second Salhu. Moreover, Inspector Sun prepared the Guanning Iron Cavalry in Liaodong, and faced the iron cavalry charge of the Later Jin Dynasty with the iron cavalry charge, and was often able to win, which shows that he has also been cowardly and quit the war, and one day, the Ming Dynasty will fight to the death with the Jin State. ”
Bai Qi smiled indifferently: "Inspector Sun is too cautious, and the root cause is that the imperial court is too weak. ”
It was the first time for Yan Long to hear such remarks, so he asked Bai Qi: "The imperial court is weak, why do you say this?"
Bai Qi said: "The so-called wealth of the country is strong, and the border soldiers have always been weak, in fact, because the country is not rich, and the country is not rich, because of the inaction of officials, resulting in the withering of people's livelihood." If we don't change the pattern of the imperial court, we will never be able to defeat Houjin. ”
Yan Long's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "Bai Qi, what you said is beyond the scope of the general's consideration!"
Bai Qi said: "As a general, you don't know the national situation, don't know politics, don't understand the people's livelihood, it's the way to defeat, and you don't even have a chance of winning." ”
Yan Long greatly appreciated Bai Qi's remarks, and he smiled and said to Bai Qi: "In your opinion, what conditions does the Ming need to have if he wants to win the battle against the Jurchens?"
"First secretly train a field army that can compete with the Jurchen Eight Banners in the field, then lure the enemy deep, raise half a country's troops to trap them, use this field army to frustrate their spirit, and then use the city fortifications to consume them, and finally encircle and annihilate them. Bai Qi said.
Yan Long retorted: "If half of the country's troops are used to deal with Houjin, what if there is another war in other places?"
Bai Qi said: "In the current war of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the fact that the Jurchens are a big trouble, the Mongols are divided and do not form a climate, so it is not enough to be troubled. Because of the political turmoil in the country, the Japanese could not organize a large-scale army, so they could be put aside for the time being. All that remains is sporadic rebellions of displaced people, all of which are diseases of scabies and are not to be feared. Half of our taxes in the Ming Dynasty come from the south of the Yangtze River, and as long as we hold there, we don't have to worry about the soldiers' salaries. At this time, it was a great drought outside the Guan, the grass and trees were disadvantaged, the Jurchens were in urgent need of all kinds of materials, and they all wanted to enter the customs to loot, it was a good time for us to lure the enemy into the depths, if it was delayed any longer, once the Jurchens breathed a sigh of relief, strengthened the operation outside the Guan, and consolidated the rule of Goryeo, and once the internal strife in the Ming Dynasty intensified, the entire war situation would take a sharp turn for the worse, and the decline would be irreversible. ”
Yan Long sighed: "I am afraid that there are many people of insight in the military department who understand this truth, but who can make the emperor put this idea into reality?!"
Bai Qi smiled and said: "If you are the emperor, it will be different!"
