For a moment, Gao Pingshi wanted to give a direct order and ask Ye He's Yang Ji Niobele to send his little daughter named Meng Guzhezhe directly to Liaoyang.

Of course, Gao Futai was not shameless enough to ask such an eight-year-old girl to warm his bed. He was mainly afraid of the child Meng Gu Zhezhe would give birth to in the future: Huang Taiji.

In Gao Pragmatic's view, if there was a hero in the East during the hundreds of years between the Qing Dynasty, this person was not a Burmese white elephant, a Japanese turtle, Mughal Shah Jahan, Chongzhen, or Lao Nu Boar Skin, but It can only be Huang Taiji.

The "name" of Huang Taiji is very problematic. As mentioned in the previous article, maybe his name is actually Abahai, maybe Hei Huanbulie, but no matter what his name is, this person is an unparalleled figure in the world.

Compared with his father Nurhaci, the battle of Sarhu fought by Lao Nu was indeed remarkable, and his level of performance can be said to be far superior to that of several Ming Dynasty generals. However, if the actual military strength is considered, the Ming army has more than 80,000 people and the Eight Banners have more than 60,000 people. small differences.

And the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army, Liaodong Manager Yang Hao, was already a notorious figure on the Korean battlefield, and was beaten by Kato and others. To put it simply, he was a scholar who did not understand military affairs at all, and he was still able to decide the points. With the deadly encirclement and suppression strategy of joint attack, if Yang Yao didn't underestimate the enemy, it was because he was really bad at his level.

The quality of the Ming army that went out at that time was uneven. For example, Liu Wei failed to bring the Sichuan army that he had clearly designated. The combat effectiveness shown by Nurhachi during the unification of the Jurchens was enough to alert the Liaodong military.

But Yang Hao was not alert, and he still divided his troops into several groups. Then there was also a problem with the Ming army's main force, Du Song. Du Song might have really underestimated the enemy - because he actually grabbed the credit and advanced rashly.

Under this situation, it is really unreasonable for the boar skin to win.

After that, in the battles in Liaoyang, Shenyang and Guangning, Lao Nu did command it well, but there were also traitors and spies, and he often did things like sneaking in the city to open the city gates.

It's really speechless here. How come the Jinyiwei, who was active in the Korean battlefield, completely lost his presence in Liaodong? You have to let the old slave teach you how to behave.

However, even so, Nurhaci also had a bloody battle in Hunhe. He used tens of thousands of Eight Banners cavalry to attack 4,000 white-pole soldiers under Grandma Qin's command, but failed. He was also counterattacked several times by the Sichuan army. Finally, the traitor Li Yongfang pulled the Ming army's artillery to blast away. Sichuan Army array.

After that, the main force fought a bloody battle with 3,000 Zhejiang troops. As a result, the Zhejiang troops ran out of ammunition and were still unable to capture them. As a result, reinforcements had to be continuously called in. In the end, the Zhejiang troops who were out of ammunition, out of food, and camped in the wild were killed by their numerical superiority. As a soldier, at this level, he really can't be called a genius. At most, he can only fight. As for the fact that four people from Hunhe broke through 800, don't make fun of it.

The reason why Gao Pragmatic has always been "concerned" about Nurhaci, but not actively intervened, is because in Gao Pragmatic's view, Nurhachi is just a general, and his strategic vision and mind are at best that of a chief.

The reason why Huang Taiji is paid special attention to by Gao Pragmatic is precisely because of his ultra-high level of strategic vision. For example, they traveled thousands of miles and smuggled tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian troops into the Jimen natural barrier that was defended personally under Yuan Chonghuan's nose. In addition, in the battle of national destiny, Huang Taiji sent old Manchu soldiers and young men to the battlefield in person, making a huge gamble, which finally overwhelmed Hong Chengchou.

Even if the military level shown here is not as good as his Ama, it is not much different, right? And the political level shown here...forget it, does Nurhaci have political level?

In his later years, the old slave did not even believe in veteran traitors like Li Yongfang, and began to clean up the Han people in the Eight Banners. At the same time, under the blockade of the Ming Dynasty, the Houjin Dynasty starved for years. was sacrificed, and a vicious cycle began. By the time the old slave died, Hou Jin had been trapped in a large siege network by North Korea, Dongjiang, Liaoxi, and Lin Danhan. As time went by, Hou Jin, a tribal alliance that was still in slavery, , is there another ending besides collapse?

However, he died, and Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne and began to reverse the situation.

Influenced by the old slaves, the Hou Jin Dynasty at that time was very anti-Han. Huang Taiji actively promoted the integration of Manchu and Han in the tribe and reused a large number of Han traitors, such as Ning Wanwo and Fan Wencheng. He also tried to win over and divide Mongolia. In Mongolia, Lin Dan After Khan's death, Zongheng took in Lin Dan Khan's wife and son, and even served as the Great Khan of Mongolia.

Then, through a battle of wits with Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan was allowed to sell military rations to alleviate the disaster in Liaodong. He also killed Mao Wenlong and abolished Dongjiang Town. This was also directly related to the Wuqiao Mutiny and King Sanshun's surrender to the Qing Dynasty. After the Dongjiang Rebellion, the three of them returned to Dengzhou Town, feeling depressed. After the rebellion, they were directly crowned king by Huang Taiji against all objections. More importantly, they brought the most in-demand navy and red-coated soldiers to Hou Jin. Artillery and Portuguese shooters (including shooters trained by Portuguese instructors) also invaded North Korea, forcing North Korea not to supply supplies with Dongjiang.

After this operation, Daming's encirclement network against Hou Jin was completely broken, and it even surrounded Daming in turn.

At the same time, not long after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Huang Taiji led his army thousands of miles in. As mentioned above, he infiltrated Yuan Chonghuan, killed Zhao Lijiao, and swept across the capital, which ultimately indirectly killed Yuan Chonghuan.

But more importantly, this wave of looting inside the pass completely unified the originally divided situation of Mongolia and Manchuria. It also killed Sanbeile Manggurtai in the internal fighting, defeated Daishan and Amin, and by the way He rectified his "smart brother" Prince Rui and made a major contribution to the transformation of the Tatars from a tribal alliance to a nation.

Prince Rui won't go into details. The world, which was originally determined by the public, was forced to rebel with a haircut order. It was very powerful and extraordinary. Moreover, he actually allowed his sister-in-law to successfully play. It was really far worse than his elder brother.

Therefore, Gao Pragmatic has always believed that Huang Taiji's ability far exceeds that of Nurhachi, especially in terms of strategic overall view. Although Huang Taiji did not live until the day when the Qing army entered the Pass, he was the true founder of the Qing Dynasty who established a foothold outside the Pass, put the regime on the right track, and made all preparations for the Qing army to enter the Pass.

If we want to summarize his several contributions to the post-Jin Tatar Qing regime, Gao Pragmatic feels that there are at least the following:

First, it carried out certain reforms on Nurhaci’s tyranny of the serfdom system in the Liaodong region, which alleviated the fierce ethnic conflicts between Manchu and Han and stabilized the fundamentals.

Secondly, the two Eastern Expeditions forced North Korea to sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty and instead surrender to the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, North Korea was forced to import rice, cloth and other annual tribute to the Jin Dynasty every year, which gave the fragile economy of the Qing Dynasty a blood transfusion.

Since Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan's fortress system in western Liaoning was basically completed, during the Huang Taiji period, the Ming Dynasty's war against the fortress in western Liaoning was based on long-term encirclement and reinforcement. Without the supplies squeezed out of North Korea, the Qing army's own logistical supplies alone would certainly not be able to sustain it.

Especially during the Battle of Songjin, at the request of the Tatar Qing Dynasty, North Korea provided rice and other military food assistance to the Qing army. It was with the food provided by North Korea that the Qing army on the front line could resist. Otherwise, the Tatar Qing army would probably be more vulnerable than the Ming army. Early collapse.

The third is to complete control of Monan Mongolia. Huang Taiji launched many Western expeditions, wooing those who followed and suppressing those who rebelled. He destroyed Chahar and conquered Tumote. All tribes in Monan submitted to Huang Taiji and had no choice but to respect him as the Great Khan of Mongolia.

When Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, he established the Mongolian Yamen, which later developed into the Lifan Yuan of the Qing Dynasty. The "Manchu-Mongolian Alliance", a national policy that lasted almost throughout the Qing Dynasty, was formed during the Huang Taiji era. The territory of the Qing Dynasty also expanded from Liaodong in the Nurhaci era to the northeast to Hetao in the Huangtaiji period, which in turn completely surrounded the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

Economically, the Qing army could go to Xuanhua, Zhangjiakou and Datong, Shanxi, to do trade with the local Ming army and Shanxi merchants.

Militarily, the Qing army could pose a threat to the northeast and northwest of the Ming capital from two directions: Liaoxi-Jizhou and Hetao-Xuanda, and the strategic initiative became more obvious.

In the winter of 1629, when Huang Taiji invaded the enemy for the first time, the Qing army entered the fortress from Zunhua, northeast of Beijing. By the middle and late Chongzhen years, the Qing army invaded the Ming Dynasty several times, and had entered the fortress from Yanqing, Beijing, and Datong, Shanxi.

Fourth, Huang Taiji completed the reform of the Qing army's military system and military equipment. By establishing eight banners of Manchu, Mongolian, and Han, wooing the Han generals of Geng, Shang, and Kong, King Sanshun, and absorbing cavalry from various Monan Mongolian tribes, the Qing army during the Huang Taiji period had developed into a force with infantry, cavalry, and artillery that could coordinate operations. A capable field army group.

The fifth is to implement the reform of the bureaucratic system based on the Ming Dynasty. Especially after Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, he imitated the Ming Dynasty and established six ministries to recruit scholars.

In the Nurhaci era, Houjin still retained the legacy of a large number of tribal blood relatives. Under the transformation of Huang Taiji, it was gradually built into the prototype of a feudal centralized power state.

Therefore, Huang Taiji was the most outstanding talent in the sixty years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty used 200,000 men to swallow up the fat elephant of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji's achievements should be said to be second to none.

However, his nectar is my arsenic.

Gao Jingshi can almost ignore Nurhachi, but it does not mean that he dares to ignore Huang Taiji, because in Gao Jingshi's view, no matter how powerful a simple general is, there is only one limit. Even if this general also serves as the king of a country, there may be more. The disadvantages arise internally.

However, a king of a country with a very high strategic vision and an army that is accustomed to fighting must not be taken lightly. It must be taken seriously, and it must be taken seriously.

Paying high attention does not mean that you have to wait for him to become powerful before having a fair duel with him - Mr. Gao is not that chivalrous.

What Gao wants to do now is, how can I prevent you from getting out?

I haven't recovered from my cold and I have a bit of a headache. I'll post a chapter on anti-theft for a while to fill up the word count, and then refresh it in about one hour or so. There's nothing I can do. But think about it, the frequency of my anti-theft chapters is still very low, so it shouldn’t have much impact.
