To be precise, both Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian were determined to lead their troops in a fight to the death, but that was just them. It was difficult for them to effectively control the various ministries under their command against the increasingly powerful generals.
Fu Zonglong fought against the large forces of Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai in Tongguan. However, the three generals, He Renlong, Li Guoqi, and Hu Dawei, played karate and led their troops to escape first, leaving the governor alone on the battlefield.
A year later, Wang Qionian, who took over, led his troops to Xiangyang, intending to besiege the city and call for reinforcements. However, it was still Shaanxi's treacherous general soldiers who sold the governor again, and the bandits also executed Wang Qiaonian by Lingchi.
Sun Chuanting, who was later released by his father-in-law, showed He Renlong's head to the public when he first took office. It was because what he did before was too excessive. If Sun Chuanting didn't kill He Renlong, he would sell him out sooner or later.
Zuo Liangyu did more outrageous things than He Renlong. In the later period, he simply set up his own company and gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. He planned to go down the river and attack Nanjing on the pretext of attacking Ma Shiying. Fortunately, he was killed suddenly before he could leave. .
"Bei He Nan Zuo" is by no means an idle name, they are all white-eyed wolves who have not been raised well.
A certain prince also warned Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou that if these two people behaved improperly, they should kill them first and then report them to avoid endless troubles.
We have already planned to eliminate Wang Shaoyu and Liu Zeqing, so we will have to kill two more general soldiers.
The Ming Dynasty had many generals who were in charge of the army. One of them was killed, and there were a lot of them waiting to fill the gap.
"As for the candidate for the Governor of Western Liaoning, I have already asked Military Advisor Liu Bowen in the Immortal Realm. Wang Zaijin is definitely the most suitable. This man is as famous as Sun Chengzong and is undoubtedly the most talented man in our dynasty today. Although he is older, he has a very good resume and is actually This is the perfect choice for this position.”
According to the original trajectory, the old man will be promoted in four years, but most of it is because he was expelled from his job and returned to his hometown, and was angry and angry.
As long as the old monster is still in a state of being unable to get out of bed, he will probably be relieved when he hears this appointment, not to say he accepts it happily.
Because Wang Huazhen, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong and others who were against him all died one after another, and he was the only one left alive.
According to the "Sima Yi Principle", whoever survives to the end will be the biggest winner.
Since we want to move out this old monster, we have to show off again and use military advisor Liu to pave the way for the old monster, so that the courtiers will have no excuse.
A guy with such high qualifications as Feng Yuanbiao dared to say a few bad words before Wang Zaijin arrived. He had to wait for the right person to come together, and he had to message to calm things down.
A certain prince had already told the Jin Yiwei who were going south, be it begging or persuading, to get all the old Wangtou and his family here. If that didn't work, they could kidnap them. The only thing is, no one could be hurt.
At this time, Lao Wangtou should still be on the boat, and he might even sneeze a few times...
Upon hearing that the prince had moved Wang Zaijin out, the courtiers immediately began to whisper among themselves. This was something that no one had expected.
Wang Zaijin can be said to be as famous a commander as the emperor's master Sun Chengzong at that time, but both Tianqi and Chongzhen trusted the latter and ignored the former.
Although they have serious differences in strategy, both of them are masters of code defense.
One is to build a fortress in Shanhaiguan and fight to the death with Braid under the pass.
The other is to pass diagonally along the Liaoxi Corridor and use castles to maintain the Ming court's territory outside the pass.
If Lao Suntou's strategy is to succeed, it must ensure a prerequisite, that is, the Ming army has the ability to annihilate the enemy in the field.
Only by winning the field battle can the city besieged by pigtails be relieved. Otherwise, the rescue target will fall sooner or later as time goes by.
However, at this time, the Ming army had lost the capital to win in the field and began to rely entirely on the city to defend the enemy.
This caused the imperial division's defense system, which had been built at countless costs outside the pass, to vanish in an instant.
As large as Jinzhou, as small as individual forts, they are all tactical islands that cannot support each other.
As long as Braid has enough patience, he can complete his plan of encroaching step by step without paying heavy casualties.
In less than ten years, all the strategic strongholds of the Great Rebellion outside the Pass will be swallowed up by this method.
The Battle of Songjin is the best example. If the Ming army rushes for reinforcements, they are in danger of being surrounded and annihilated. Without support, Jinzhou will definitely be in danger.
The final result was that Jinzhou was not saved. Except for a few general soldiers who ran away first, the hundreds of thousands of troops were all eaten up by braids, including Hong Chengchou.
This difficulty is now placed in front of a certain prince. The presence of the Ming army in Jinzhou is only symbolic. As long as the emperor is willing, he can send troops to surround Jinzhou at any time.
In order to avoid losing the final mobile strength, Yaoji could not let Hong Chengchou or others lead the army to rescue the siege. If he did not solve the problem, he would lose a city, and if he tried to solve the problem, he would have to pay 100,000 troops.
For this city, the only solution is to drag!
First, he sent food that could last for five years to Zu Dashou, and asked him to squat in the city and work as a fat house.
It doesn't matter even if the mountains near Jinzhou are lost, they can be recovered later.
At critical moments, Jinzhou can give up, but it must be valuable.
The Ming troops stationed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan cannot be withdrawn to Shanhaiguan for no reason, otherwise the pressure from the pigtails will hit the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty.
Ningyuan's role in Shanhaiguan is to contain and disperse the enemy's forces. If Braid does not attack Ningyuan, but directly takes Shanhaiguan, then Ningyuan's role will not be left at all.
Some people would say that you can still farm two hundred miles outside the pass, and you can harvest a lot of food every year. The emperor's economic foresight is enough to surpass Lao Wang by ten blocks.
A certain prince felt ridiculous about this. Pigtail came to harvest crops during the autumn harvest. How dare the Ming army from various strongholds go to war?
As long as you take one step forward, they will definitely beat you out including your intestines and stomach!
Your crops are grown for others. The reason why Pigtail doesn't come to harvest the crops is because he can enter the customs.
Because silver does not grow in the ground, you can rob it at will after entering the customs. How easy it is to buy food with silver.
Facts have proved that Emperor Shi used the same method he used to deal with Nurha Chicken Wings to deal with Huangtai Chicken, but it caused great trouble to the emperor.
Huangtaiji will not fight you head-on. As soon as they take a detour, the Guan Ning Jin Line of Defense instantly turns into the Maginot Line of Defense...
Some people would say that this was the huge deterrent effect of the Guanningjin Defense Line, which frightened Huang Taiji into taking a detour.
Such people have superfluous brains. The head on their neck is just to make them look taller!
The real function of the Guanningjin Defense Line is to attract firepower and annihilate the enemy under the city!
Huangtaiji's detour is equivalent to allowing Guan Nei to attract firepower to Guan Ningjin's defense line!
Whether it was the First Emperor or Li Er, which emperor could withstand such a disaster?
Braid avoids the real and hits the weak, deliberately leaving places with higher defenses, and specifically targets the weak points of the big attack.
This is the brilliance of high-level NPCs, and then they are laughed at by a group of later generations who lack courage...
They don't even fight with you, they just kick you in the crotch.
You managed to stand up, then shook your fist, and then got kicked in the crotch.
Over and over again, after being kicked five times in the crotch, the only one who can still stand up and scream at his opponent is Silk Que!
The Guan Ning Jin defense line cannot move on its own. If you want to annihilate the enemy, you must let the enemy come over on its own initiative.
If the enemy cannot come, then the value of this line of defense is not much higher than one tael of silver.
To take a step back, Huang Taiji really led an army of 150,000 people over and told Mingting that I am going to take over the two cities of Ningjin and Ningjin alone today. Do you dare to send people to fight?
The result of going to war is to be completely annihilated by the pigtails. If you don't go to war, they have the strength to take over two cities of yours. They just let you be a mute and eat Coptis chinensis, and what they eat is the "double huanglian"!
Yaoji had seen the map of Shanhaiguan and believed that Lao Wangtou's suggestion to extend the defense line from the sea to Huanxi Ridge in the north was very correct.
Equipped with three to four hundred artillery pieces of various types, plus 50,000 defenders, and dig four or five wide and deep trenches in front of the pass, Shanhaiguan itself will be considered impregnable.
If there is still money left, several fortresses can be built in front of the pass to turn Shanhaiguan and the surrounding areas into a fortress group. By then, it will not be enough to fill the holes with 100,000 horses.
After that, use the two isolated islands of Ningyuan and Jinzhou as bait to lure Huang Taiji to the bait as much as possible. It will take as long as it takes. It is best to let him start the siege next year.
Braid used 50,000 troops to besiege the second city, which relieved a lot of pressure on the pass. Huang Taiji could only bring a maximum of 100,000 horses into the pass.
If the pigtails who entered the pass were divided up and attacked, the Ming army could concentrate its superior forces and take advantage of the pigtails to kill about 10,000 people.
Yao Ji knew all about the Ming army's field combat capabilities, and he had no confidence in them at all. If the field battles were not completely wiped out by the opponent, it would be considered a success.
Before enough cannon fodder can be mined, we need to adopt huddle tactics outside the customs and try our best to delay Huang Taiji. As long as no one is killed and no one surrenders, any tactics can be used.
Now that things have happened, the Guan Ning Jin defense line built by the imperial division is like a luxury car.
Just drive, something could happen at any time on the road.
If you don't open it, you're burning money every moment.
A certain prince was very angry about the five million taels of silver every year. With this money, he could feed an army of one hundred thousand.
When Lao Wang takes office, he must also give others this number, which cannot be less than the emperor's master, otherwise it will appear that the father and son are passing the blame and favoring one over the other.
Now divide Jiliao and cut it by at most one million taels. If the amount given is too little, Lao Wangtou will not be able to survive.
Liaoxi needs four million taels, Jizhen also needs at least three million taels, Xuanda still needs the same number, and Shaanxi is equal to it.
Just to defend the north requires 13 million taels, and the south gets 7 million taels a year.
Calculated in this way, the military expenditure alone, plus the expenses of the garrison in various places, is at least 22 million taels a year.
Transferring the disaster victims and providing work-for-relief would cost a lot of money. With an annual income of less than 30 million taels, a certain prince had to worry like the blame-shifting father.
The courtiers don't worry, and the same goes for the Minister of Household Affairs. It's useless for them to worry, except for a few tactless nonsense about the annual income, which is of no use at all.
Not to mention the two people in the cabinet. The chief assistant is almost becoming the quasi-father-in-law, and he is a mere pushover.
The second assistant is quite talented, but he is still cautious about taxation and focuses on the Holy Judgment.
All the pressure from the court was placed on a certain prince alone.
At some point, Yaoji even wonders if he should find a chance to wear it again...
"My dear friends, I am very pleased to have put our heads together. Is there any result?"
When I was wandering in my mind, I heard a group of mosquitoes "buzzing". If you don't stop, you will keep "buzzing".
Since Wang Zaijin is too old and has the uncanny calculations of military advisor Liu Bowen from the immortal world, it seems to be a good idea.
Others remained silent about the candidates proposed by the prince. Feng Yuanbiao, Minister of the Ministry of War, relied on the fact that he and Wang Zaijin were peers, so he said: "Your Highness, Wang Zaijin has a good resume, but he is still old. If he goes to Liaodong, he may not be able to stay there for a long time." Bit."
If the prince likes this person, then compared to Fu Zonglong, who is good in all aspects, the one who will be squeezed out is Wang Qiaonian, a colleague of Donglin. Feng Yuanbiao does not want to see this situation, so he can only pick on Wang Zaijin's shortcomings.
Hearing that the Minister of War did not approve of the choice of the prince, the courtiers pricked up their ears and planned to hear up close how the prince would defeat this old minister who disobeyed the holy will.
Yaoji had long known Old Fengtou's little thoughts and didn't point it out. There was no need to make a small sacrifice at the expense of the big one at this time. He said kindly: "I have resisted all opinions and appointed the elderly Feng Aiqing as the Minister of War. It is also informal." The use of talented people is similar to the re-activation of Wang Zaijin now. If Feng Aiqing feels that Wang Zaijin is too old and frail to take charge of border affairs, otherwise, after this person arrives in Beijing, I will order him to compete with Aiqing. Let’s see who eats more rice and who is stronger in arm wrestling. Aiqing and Wang Zaijin are similar in age, so it’s not like who is bullying the younger. The winner goes to Liaoxi to take office, while the loser stays in the capital and becomes the Minister of the Ministry of War. This strategy How is it?"
Xue Guoguan tried hard to keep a serious expression, but his heart was filled with joy. This is the consequences of disobeying the Holy Will. Even if you don't eat locusts, the prince will have a way to deal with you.
Each of his colleagues felt the same way as the Chief Assistant, and they were all waiting to see Feng Yuanbiao's jokes.
Old Fengtou was also choked by the prince. He pondered for a while before replying: "It is a matter of frontier fortress. How can your highness treat it like child's play?"
In fact, he is almost the same as Wang Zaijin. In front of so many colleagues, there is no such thing as openly obeying. If Wang Zaijin does not appear again, then there is no such consideration.
Yaoji was still not angry and said cheerfully: "It was Feng Aiqing who thought Wang Zaijin was not in good health. This is not what I said. Since Feng Aiqing made such a conclusion first, what's the point of letting Wang Zaijin compete with Aiqing?" No? Isn't this a physical test?"
Compared with being a rogue, you are far worse than Yang Shicong.
If you really dare to show your arms and roll up your sleeves, I will let everyone see who is the biggest loser in my court!
In any case, it was a reassurance for the court that the prince could ask Wang Zaijin to come out again.
In addition to physical factors, in terms of ability and qualifications, Wang Zaijin is currently the best candidate for governor of western Liaoning.
Before the Battle of Guangning, Wang Zaijin served as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War, responsible for mobilizing the military supplies needed by Liaodong.
After Xiong Tingbi was convicted for losing Guangning, Wang Zaijin was promoted to Minister of War and began to manage Liaodong.
His entire official career has gone through the four dynasties of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Shigui. He can be said to be the elder of the four dynasties.
Looking at Lao Wangtou's resume, he has served as the first or second leader in all six departments, and he has a clear understanding of the situation in the court and Liaodong.
Its strategy is to shorten its own supply lines, save related resources, and strive to resist Braid's attack within the range that the court can bear.
