Chapter 054: Turning the clouds and raining and waiting for leisure
Isn't that? Now he is pragmatic and pragmatic, and he is a fire captain, and he cares where he is troublesome.
After his death, in order to ensure that Tumut continued and became more and more loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Gao Shishi sent an all-out envoy, and then commanded the Battle of Monan, which established a strategic advantage over the left wing of the Mongols.
After being transferred to Liaodong, due to the Tumen contacting the fried flowers to launch an attack on southern Liaoning, Gao pragmatic commanded the battle of southern Liaoning, not only captured the fried flowers, but also recaptured the Liaohe Hetao, completely connected Liaodong and Liaoxi, and also expanded the strategic depth of Liaodong, so there is no need to worry that the Tumen can easily cut off the connection between Liaodong and Liaoxi in the future, and lay the advantage of taking the initiative for the battle of Chahar.
Immediately afterwards, he carried out a "decapitation tactic" against the rising Yehe Department, and directly ambushed and killed Yehe Erbeile. It is foreseeable that for a certain period of time, Ye He will not be able to expand externally, and can only be busy cleaning up the internal situation. Even in the process, he divided the relationship between Yehe and Aisin Jueluo, and made Nurhachi bear the charge of killing his father-in-law, making them less prone to unexpected alliances in the future.
Then he was recalled to Beijing because of the financial difficulties of the Yunnan-Burma War, and relied on the magic of the Yunnan War to cover the military expenses, and even used the power of Annam to completely collapse Burma, creating conditions for the imperial court to concentrate on the Mongolian left flank and forcibly pinch a stable southern Xinjiang.
Finally, in order to ensure the military superiority over the left wing of the Mongols, he was used as the squire of Rong Zheng, completely integrated the Beijing camp, and newly organized the Praetorian Guard, so that the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty regained combat effectiveness, especially field combat capabilities, and strengthened the military superiority over Chahar.
Looking at all of the above, even Zhu Yijun, who has always recognized in his heart that "those who can work harder", feel a little embarrassed, worried that Gao Pragmatism will be overused by him - Zhu Yijun is afraid that Gao Pragmatism will be used as Zhuge Liang, but don't be so tired that the stars fall into the original five zhangyuan.
I don't know if it's because Zhu Yijun has a tendency to get rich, he looked at Gao Pragmatic, and always felt that his former classmate seemed to have lost some weight, and couldn't help but care: "Pragmatic, I see that you seem to be thinner?" You have to take care, what we agreed on back then has just begun, and your burden in the future is still very heavy, don't pick on me. ”
This is not like an emperor, but the care in his words is sincere, even a rational person like Gao Pragmatic can't help but be a little moved, smiled and comforted in his unique way: "Your Majesty, this is not thin, this is a more well-proportioned body." ”
"Nonsense, I think you were well-proportioned when you won the Toad Palace in the eighth year of Wanli, and now you are thin." Zhu Yijun's symmetry seems to be a little different from Gao Pragmatic, and he doesn't care whether Gao Pragmatic is against it or not, and shouts outside: "Chen Ju, remember, I will give Gao Gong two fat sheep and twenty catties of bacon later." Outside, Chen Ju immediately responded.
Gao pragmatic couldn't cry or laugh: "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of ...... in the courtier's family"
"I know you don't lack these sheep and a few catties of meat, but you have to eat these ingredients, right?" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not mention these gossips...... Where did we just go? ”
Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to thank him first, and then replied: "Speaking of Nurhachi, although he doesn't dare to go against Da Ming on the surface, he may consider doing something in private to add to my Da Ming." ”
Zhu Yijun snorted lightly: "I don't really believe that he has such vision and ability, but since you think you should guard against him, it's not impossible, just think it's all right." But...... What to do? You're not Liaofu now, after all. ”
Gao pragmatic pondered for a moment and replied: "Cao Yan, the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Ma Chengen, the general of Kaiyuan, Qi Jin, the guerrilla in Shenyang, and Cao Jian, the guerrilla in Tieling, and other generals in northeastern Liaoning, are all generals who dare to fight and can fight. In particular, Ma Chengen is a person who has made great achievements in the battle of southern Liaoning, and he may as well use his department as the main force to patrol the northern border of Liaoning in the name of inspecting defense. At the same time, Cao Yan came to Fushun Pass in person, summoned Nurhachi to lecture him, told him the decision of the imperial court, and ordered him to immediately withdraw his troops and return all the cities and cottages belonging to the Hunhe Department of Nikan Wailan. ”
Zhu Yijun was a little surprised, and even a little surprised: "Will Nurhachi agree to this condition?" ”
Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows and snorted lightly: "The emperor may not know that although Jianzhou has three guards, there are actually five departments, namely the Sukesu Hu Department and the Hunhe Department, the Wang Jia Department (Wanyan Department), the Zhechen Department, and the Dong E Department. Although Nikan Wailan came from an ordinary background, he became the lord of Tulun City in his early years because of his good management, and later because of his meritorious help to Ning Yuanbo, he built a new Jiaban City, which actually controlled the Hunhe Department, and based on the Hunhe Department, he collected the defectors of other Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou and became the number one strong chief in Jianzhou. In today's situation, I can temporarily let Nurhachi keep some of the spoils, that is, the walled cities outside the Hunhe Ministry, but the Hunhe Ministry, itself, must ask him to return Nikan Wailan......"
Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "If Nurhachi refuses, shall we fight or not?" ”
"Try to get Nurhachi to agree by all means." Gao pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly: "But if you can't convince him in the end, I'm afraid it's going to be a small fight." ”
Zhu Yijun's brows furrowed even deeper: "A small fight? How to control the scale of this 'small fight'? ”
Gao pragmatic said: "Send troops to escort Nikan Wailan to Jiaban City, and garrison protection, in addition, I will not compete with Nurhachi for other places for the time being." ”
Zhu Yijun muttered: "You mean that our approach is to put Nikan Wailan in the Hunhe Department, so that people feel that the Hunhe Department still exists and has not been annexed by Nurhachi?" ”
Gao pragmatic said: "It can be roughly understood in this way. ”
"If there is only one Jiaban City in Knikan Wailan, is it enough to make people admit that the Hunhe River Department is still there?" Zhu Yijun hesitated.
Gao pragmatic replied: "Enough, as long as Nikan Wailan can continue to get the support of the Ming Dynasty, others will recognize him." ”
Zhu Yijun thought about it and felt that this was reasonable, after all, as long as the Ming Dynasty admits it, it is righteousness in hand - who made the leaders of the Jurchen tribes need to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty to be legitimate?
But he still hesitated: "Even if he is nominally recognized by the Jurchen tribes, but at that time he only had one Jiaban City in his hands, and this strength is probably no longer enough to be an enemy of Nurhachi, do my Ming officials and soldiers still have to help him defend the city?" ”
Gao Pragmatic thought for a while and said, "It's best to help him guard it, but this matter doesn't need too many people to do it." ”
Zhu Yijun was a little surprised: "Really? Since Nurhachi's troops are quite capable of fighting, how can they hold on to it when there are fewer men and horses? "Heshun
"Keeping is an attitude, and whether you can keep it or not is not the key." Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Our people only need to do one thing well, that is, no matter whether Jiabancheng can be defended or not, we must ensure that Nikan Wailan himself is alive." ”
Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Pragmatic suspiciously, and muttered, "Are you deliberately luring Nurhachi to send troops?" ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "Not really, in fact, the minister's original intention was to think ...... As long as the banner of the Ming Dynasty is planted on the tower of Jiaban City, Nurhachi will not dare to act rashly now. As for what I just said about the need to ensure the life of Nikan Wailan himself, this is really just in case. ”
Zhu Yijun didn't answer immediately, but thought about it carefully, and then asked: "In addition to being afraid of the Ming Dynasty, what other reason makes you feel that Nurhachi does not dare to act rashly?" ”
"Not the cause, but the means." Gao pragmatic said: "Actually, I can produce a lot of leaves (leaf cards) now, for example, the minister ambushed the two chieftains of Yehe before, but in the end, it was Nurhachi who completed the final blow, so the Liangzi of Yehe and Su Ke Suhu is concluded." In this case, if Da Ming is suddenly willing to support Ye He's revenge, will the emperor think Ye He's new Baylor will be very happy? ”
"Well......" Zhu Yijun muttered: "If Yehe Xinbeile wants to sit in his position as soon as possible, it is indeed a good idea to take revenge on Nurhachi, but there is a problem here - the death of the second chief Yehe was done by you before, and that is also the handiwork of my Daming, now how do you know that they will not settle the account on my Daming, but only hold on to a Nurhachi?" ”
"Your Majesty, this issue is actually not that complicated." Gao Shishi smiled slightly: "Look at the original matter of Nurhachi looking for Nikan Wailan for revenge - Jue Chang'an and his son actually died at the hands of Ning Yuanbo, Nikan Wailan is just an unlucky guy with a black cauldron, but Nurhachi has ever mentioned from beginning to end that he and Ning Yuanbo have a grudge against killing their father and ancestors?"
Of course not, how dare he list Ning Yuanbo as an enemy of the common heavens? Since Ning Yuanbo can kill Wang Gao and Atai, he is not afraid to kill him one more Nurhachi! Persimmon to pick up the soft pinch, playing Nikan Wailan can not only unite the inside, but also expand the strength, why not? Beating Ning Yuanbo is just committing suicide, of course Nurhachi will choose to fight Nikan Wailan!
And for the current Ye He, just like Nurhachi before, they have just been taught a lesson by Daming, how dare they fight Daming's idea now? Even if you want to unite internally, even if you want to expand your strength, you can only go to Nurhachi for trouble. Because Da Ming is not a soft persimmon, but Nurhachi is very likely to be in their eyes! ”
Now that the reason is clear, Zhu Yijun understood, and said with a smile: "It's thanks to you that you are not a Jurchen, otherwise, if you don't talk about anything else, I am afraid that you will cause big trouble to Daming with this ability to be vertical and horizontal." ”
Gao pragmatic said casually and humbly, but Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "But...... Can Yeh beat Nurhachi now? They were newly defeated by my Da Ming, and now it is not clear what the internal situation is, but Nurhachi is in full swing, in case Ye He is also defeated......"
That's a good question. Gao Pragmatic actually didn't dare to guarantee whether Yehe would be able to beat Nurhachi.
Although according to the current strength of the two sides, Yehe's advantage over Nurhachi is still quite large - even after the new defeat, Gao Pragmatic believes that Yehe can at least easily gather more than 10,000 people, and Nurhachi only has more than 3,000 troops under his hands, and there are definitely less than 4,000.
But judging from the situation in the original history, even if Yehe's troops were twice or even three times that of Nurhachi, they would eventually be defeated and lost, and it is actually a bit difficult to say what the reason is here.
After Nurhachi annexed Yehe, the soldiers and generals from the original Yeh were also quite capable of fighting, and their performance on various battlefields was not much worse than Nurhachi's old subordinates, but at the moment when the two sides were in the Jurchen Championship, Yehe was just beaten by Nurhachi.
What's the problem?
Generals can't do it? There may be this factor, but as I said just now, the generals from Yehebu did not perform badly later, so it can be seen that the gap is at least not big.
Soldiers can't do it? What's more, after the Jurchen departments were reorganized into the Eight Banners, although the two flags of the Nurhachi era were indeed the most capable of fighting (Su Ke Suhu's old foundation), the disparity between the strength and weakness of the flags was not very large, and the reason why the two yellow flags could be fought and the advantage of equipment was in it - the lineage, it must be the best equipment.
It seems that the biggest possibility is the institutional problem. Not to mention the system of the Eight Banners, at least under the circumstances at that time, it was indeed able to significantly improve the combat effectiveness of an army, and the reason why Ye He obviously had an advantage in strength but was still continuously beaten by Nurhachi should be mainly because the system was inferior to people.
However, Gao Pragmatic thought about it and felt that if it was really institutional factors that led to the difference in combat effectiveness, then in fact, the gap between the two sides would not be too big now-Nurhachi has not yet engaged in the Eight Banners.
With this judgment, Gao pragmatic said: "Yehe may indeed be unstable internally now, but as long as the war against Nurhachi is launched, then this instability will be suppressed temporarily." No matter what the people under the command of the East and West Belle thought, they had to put aside other thoughts first, and wait until they defeated Nurhachi.
And generally speaking, the two new beylers may even compete with each other - whoever becomes the main force to defeat Nurhachi will be the only leader within Yeh in the future, changing the situation of the two beyles in the east and west cities standing side by side, and may even dominate Yeh and dominate the Jurchens. ”
As soon as Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but be cautious: "Then aren't we driving wolves at the front door and tigers at the back door?" ”
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Don't worry, first of all, this situation is just speculation, and it is only one of many possible scenarios; Secondly, even if it really develops like this, there are still a lot of means that I can use - if Ye He wants to unify, is the Hada Department in a hurry? Urabe is not in a hurry? In that case, these tribes have become a force that my Ming can use at any time.
All in all, I Daming controls the Jurchens, and if it is not necessary to personally attack at all times, as long as I maintain the huge advantage of the Ming over the Jurchens, and always insist on helping the weak and attacking the strong, there is any trend of 'unification' within the Jurchens, and I Daming will respond positively, and create internal enemies for it as quickly as possible, so that I can always be invincible, and I will be able to turn the clouds and rain and so on. ”
