Li Biao winked at Li Banghua. Let him speak. If he doesn't speak, Lao Hahe will retreat.
Li Banghua is in a dilemma. In fact, he is somewhat retreating now. Previously, he supported the deployment of defenses along the river, but with certain conditions. That is, after both Jiannu and Chahar were defeated, they had at least two years to strengthen the castle.
After the castle is repaired, 150,000 troops will gather in Chifeng, Kailu, and Tongliao. Form a deep system. At that time, it will be the same as the Guan Ning Jin line of defense, and it will be difficult for the slaves to gnaw.
But now, the castle is just rammed earth and has not had time to be covered with bricks. Baking bricks also takes time. The army is now gathered in the Yuanbaoshan area. Wait until the castle is repaired before moving in.
But now, plans can't keep up with changes. Huang Taiji acted unreasonably and caught everyone off guard. Huang Taiji is not stupid, he just wants to hit you at this critical moment. Let your castle plans go bust.
Now there are two choices, either a hundred thousand troops are dispatched to rescue Chifeng City.
Either retreat to Chifeng and the defenders of the castle along the river and wait for work in Yuanbaoshan, and actively choose the battlefield for a decisive battle.
Of course, we can't withdraw 50,000 people now. At least the 5,000 people in Pinghu Fort are definitely finished.
Up to now, Pinghu Fort has been fighting for seven days and has not received news of its fall. It really surprised everyone. The Ma family didn't expect there to be such a capable general.
Ma Xi was never well-known. We only knew that he was the leader of Ma Dengyun's personal soldiers.
Ma Xi brought the servants of the Ma family. It can definitely be fought. What else would you do if you didn't support a family?
It is impossible to rescue Pinghu Fort, and it is impossible to save it in this life. Because that is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Now it depends on whether the decisive battle will be in Chifeng or Yuanbaoshan.
Li Banghua intuitively felt that Sun Chengzong was right. Yuanbaoshan has entered the valley exit of Yanshan Mountains, and the terrain is complex. It can offset Jiannu's cavalry pressure to a great extent. Chifeng is a vast grassland.
It's not a good idea for infantry to resist cavalry there before they are outnumbered.
However, is this just a military issue? Li Banghua glanced at the anxious Li Biao and Qian Longxi.
He knows better than anyone else the huge interests and groups involved behind this.
Now looking at the biggest white glove they have supported, Yuandudu has revealed his ambition to be independent. They are not so easy to handle anymore. If he succeeds in forming a complete alliance with the eight major Shanxi merchant groups, he will hold the Guanning Iron Cavalry that he founded and monopolize trade with Liaodong. No one can control him.
He has 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers, 10 ordinary infantry, and is also a legion composed of locals from Liaodong. Yuandudu allocated farmland to them and basically completed localization. No one can touch him easily at this time.
To some extent, he has greater control over the army than Yue Fei.
After Yue Fei was falsely accused and imprisoned, his subordinates may have been forced by the court, or they may have taken the initiative. They wrote letters one after another to expose various situations in which Yue Fei was preparing to rebel. With almost no exception, Yue Fei's subordinates all gave false testimony and forced Yue Fei to confiscate his home and exterminate his clan.
Yue Fei's case has a complete chain of evidence, including both witnesses and material evidence. Follow the legal procedures completely. All fine. The only problem is that these are all fake, forged, and hundreds of people collectively committed perjury. Otherwise, a hero of this level would be able to do it without saying anything.
After Yue Fei was executed, his family was exiled to Lingnan. These generals collectively submitted a letter, believing that the sentence was too light and it would be best for the entire family to be executed. They were afraid that the descendants of the Yue family would rise again and suffer revenge. After being rejected by the court, they bribed Qin Hui privately. Ask Qin Hui to take action and not feed Yue Fei's family on the road, starving them to death.
The extent of their deeds made Qin Hui unbearable. Their request was flatly rejected.
It can be seen that Yue Fei's Yue Family Army is really not a private army, it is the country's army.
Once he was imprisoned, everyone immediately pushed him down.
Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning Army is comparable to Big Tou Ge's small station training. The officers and soldiers cultivated the fields assigned by him and received the military pay he issued. This money was not only issued by the court, but also probably obtained by him in various shady ways.
After he was caught, Zu
Dashou simply refused to abandon the emperor and returned to Liaodong with his troops. In this regard, he is much better than Yue Fei. If Yue Fei's soldiers relied on him like their parents, Song Gaozong and Qin Hui would never dare to attack him.
After Yuan Chonghuan was killed, Chongzhen could no longer mobilize Guan Ning's army. Apart from the fact that Guan Ningjun didn't rebel on the surface, he just fooled him as much as possible. He still has to support these uncles with a million taels a year. If he doesn't pay them, he is afraid that they will vote for Huang Taiji.
After that, Jiannu entered the Pass five more times, and Guan Ningjun all acquiesced.
If Guan Ningjun did not acquiesce, the Qing army would not dare to take a long way to enter the Great Wall. Once Guan Ning's army raids Liaoshen, they will be in trouble. The Qing army dared to do this because it was determined that Guan Ning's army would not attack, so they dared to go south confidently and boldly.
Therefore, it is a joke that the Qing army detoured southward through Mongolia six times in history.
The two armies were originally facing each other on the Jinzhou front line, but they actually sent the main army to bypass Mongolia and go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty regardless of the situation. There has never been any precedent in the past dynasties.
Nothing happened before, but he came out of the Chongzhen Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, it was Guan Ning's army who let the Qing army enter the Pass. It just didn't leave their defense zone. They and the eight major business groups made a fortune by selling stolen goods from the Qing army's robberies.
Whether the Qing army dares to go south or not, the key lies with them. They have the strength to make the Qing army fearful.
This can be seen from the fact that Dorgon led the Qing army to prepare to enter the pass again in 1644. At that time, they did not know that Li Zicheng had occupied the imperial capital and Chongzhen had hanged himself. They didn't find out until they arrived outside Shanhaiguan.
This time they plan to try Shanhaiguan. Because this opportunity cannot be missed, the fastest way is to enter the customs through Shanhaiguan.
Wu Sangui went to Dorgon personally to talk about borrowing troops to destroy the bandits. At that time, the condition proposed by Wu Sangui was to divide the river and rule it. Jiangbei was given to the Qing Dynasty, and Jiangnan was given to the Ming Dynasty. This is more favorable than the Huaihe River in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. But later the Qing Dynasty turned its back and disowned it. This was also one of the reasons why Wu Sangui later rebelled.
At that time, Dorgon was very cunning and careful. He was worried that this was a trap set by Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui. After all, Wu Sangui had surrendered to Li Zicheng before. Who knows if the two of them were playing a double act.
He would only sneer and sneer at the idea of being angry for a beauty.
I believe in your big-headed ghost.
Although he also raised a son for a widow and became a stepfather for a cheap son. But he didn't believe Wu Sangui's nonsense.
Of course, with Prince Rui's ability, he is not even good at being a stepfather. In the end, I cut my leg while hunting, so I took some medicine and it healed. After his death, his grave was dug up by his son. As glorious as the regent and emperor Dorgon was at the time, he is now miserable.
This tells us a truth. If you want to marry a woman with children, you must first evaluate how your own abilities compare to Dorgon. Dorgon is such a hero, but he ended up like this. Ask yourself, if you don't have Dorgon's ability, it would be better not to find such a difficult challenge for yourself.
