Chapter 203: Who Takes Ye He
"The moon is bright, and the clear light shines on the Liaojie. The clouds are temporarily hidden, and the flowers are dotted across the trees. The spirit is full of laurel branches, and the wheel is lacking. The city is scattered, with a halo and a heavy encirclement. Stand on the pill capital and watch the demon atmosphere disappear. ”
"You're writing poetry again?"
"I didn't write it, it's Tang Taizong Li Shimin's "Liaocheng Looking at the Moon", and this poem was written in Liaoyang City."
"No wonder, I just said how there is such a word as 'stationed'." Huang Zhiting stepped on the snow and said with a smile: "However, the demonic atmosphere he said should be Goryeo, right?" Isn't Goryeo North Korea now, and you're going to destroy North Korea? ”
Gao Shicheng shook his head: "In the past, the demon atmosphere was naturally Goryeo, but today the demon atmosphere is another person, I am so dignified, what are you doing to destroy North Korea?" After all, it is also a country not to be conquered by Emperor Taizu. ”
But the "country that is not conquered" could not convince Huang Zhiting, she shook her head and chuckled: "The country that is not conquered? Annan is also a country that does not conquer, and I didn't consider this when I saw you send troops to Annam. ”
Gao pragmatic said: "China's conquest of the Quartet, all of them are famous, you know about Annam, if it is not for the revelation of his assassination, how can I have a conquest?" ”
Huang Zhiting said with a smile: "Annan is to blame, I naturally know this, but you said that China's conquest of the Quartet, all of them are famous, I don't know very well, let's just say North Korea, or Goryeo, could it be that the teachers were famous back then?" ”
"Yes, Emperor Taizu has statistics." Gao pragmatic said: "In the past, Emperor Taizu treated Goryeo well, but at that time, Goryeo still refused to completely sever the relationship with the Northern Yuan, not only that, but also killed the Ming envoy and spying on the military situation, so Emperor Taizu once issued an edict to ask, do you know what Emperor Taizu said?" ”
Huang Zhiting shook her head and asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”
"From the Han Dynasty to the present, the monarchs and ministers of Goryeo have not been thoughtful, but they have made great troubles. In the former Han Dynasty, the Gao clan lost his lordship, and Guangwu restored his king's name, and then Koubian, which was greatly defeated by the Han soldiers. Tang has the world, and he also tastes the seal, and betrays with it, so that the father and son are captured, and the family name is extinct. In the Song Dynasty, the Wang family was in charge, forced to the Khitan and Jurchen, and was willing to be a slave. Yuan Shizu entered the Central Plains, when he saved his country from the king, but he was vainly suspicious of the two, stole and killed the messenger, and repeatedly surrendered and defeated, and suffered several military disasters. Now that the king has been killed, the traitorous ministers have stolen their lives, and they will do what they want, and the first structure will complain to me.
…… Looking at the amount of this treachery, I will rely on the sea to ring the frontier, carry the heavy mountain and the danger, and intend to be fierce and stubborn to jump off the beam, and regard our dynasty as the Han and Tang dynasties. And the generals of the Han and Tang Dynasties, long cavalry shooting, short boats, so the sea is hard, and the soldiers are composed. I have been from Pinghuaxia, Hu Lu, water and land expeditions, and the generals of the cavalry and archery divisions are not better than the Han and Tang Dynasties. ”
Huang Zhiting said suddenly: "Emperor Taizu said this because of the power of the water master, thinking that if he conquered Goryeo, it would not be as laborious as the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, this does not seem to indicate that the expedition to Goryeo is completely famous. ”
"I'm not done yet." Gao pragmatic said: "Taizu said again: Goryeo is separated by the sea, limited to Yalu, and it has been a vocal religion since ancient times. However, the number of Chinese conquests was covered by the end of the plover.
Those who conquered Goryeo in the Tre Dynasty: the Han Dynasty invaded four times, and it was reduced by the number of Kou borders. Wei Fa was twice a time, for his yin and two hearts, and Wu Tong was good, so he slaughtered his capital. Sui felled twice, for its Kou Liaoxi, Que Fan Li, so he surrendered. Tang Fa four times, for its murder of the king and the brother to fight, so the rest of the peace, placed as the Nine Capital Governor's Mansion. Liao invaded four times, killed the king for him and repeatedly rebelled, so he burned his palace and beheaded tens of thousands of people such as Kang Zhao. Yuan attacked five times, fled for it, killed the envoy and the official placed by the court, so the teacher went to beg, and its king fled to Tanluo, and hunted and killed it. Originally, it was all taken by Goryeo, and it was not the Chinese emperor who wanted land to annex it. ”
Huang Zhiting was stunned and said, "Gao Li has been beaten so many times? ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "So now I'm honest." ”
Huang Zhiting said: "It seems that this country is not levyed, that is to say, if you really take the initiative to seek death, the court should levy or will levy, is that what it means?" ”
Gao Pragmatic pondered for a while, and said: "Taizu's original words are like this: all the four sides are limited to mountains and seas, and they are isolated in a corner, and their land is not enough to supply, and their people are not enough to make orders. If he doesn't think about it and scratches me, it's ominous. He is not a problem for China, and it is also ominous for me to raise troops and commit minor offenses. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for a moment of military exploits, and raise troops for no reason, resulting in injuries to people's lives. ”
He paused for a moment and explained: "That is to say, Taizu's original intention is not to rely on China's wealth and strength, covet temporary military achievements and raise troops for no reason, but if these countries that do not conquer take the initiative to disturb the border, it is the other side's fault. ”
Huang Zhiting said: "Got it." However, you say that North Korea is honest today, and the demonic atmosphere of Liaodong is someone else...... Is it the Mongols, or the Jurchens? ”
"What do you think?" Gao asked rhetorically.
"Where do I know about Liaodong?" Huang Zhiting shook his head and said: "However, Mongolia has just invaded southern Liaoning, and you have also been promoted to governor because of the battle of southern Liaoning, presumably you are talking about Mongolia?" ”
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "For the time being, it is Mongolia, but in the future, it may be Jurchen." ”
"Jurchen?" Huang Zhiting was surprised: "I heard that the Jurchens are divided into many tribes, and the strength of each family is almost less than 10,000, and even 3,000 is a big tribe, do you think the Jurchens can also become a 'demon atmosphere'?" ”
Gao pragmatic said: "The Jurchen is brave and not inferior to the wolf soldiers." Zhiting, imagine that if there are sixty or seventy thousand wolf soldiers in hand, wearing the armor of the Han army, taking the weapons of the Han army, and its generals are quite familiar with the battle array, can such an enemy be called a demonic atmosphere? ”
Huang Zhiting groaned and said, "How many Han troops are there in Liaodong?" ”
Gao pragmatically said: "There are 1780,000 in the register, and it may not be this number after removing the lack of personnel, and the part that can be used for field combat may only be about 50,000, and nearly 40,000 of these 50,000 are the family members of Ning Yuanbo and Li Chengliang." ”
"I heard that you have a bad relationship with Ning Yuanbo?" When Huang Zhiting heard about this troop situation, he immediately became a little nervous and asked, "Do you want to transfer some troops from Annan?" There are 80,000 soldiers in the two major garrisons of Annam (Thang Long and Jingang), and I heard that they are still engaged in that 'reserve', so I think it would be okay if you transferred all the entire Jingang garrison to Liaodong in the north. ”
Gao pragmatic waved his hand and said, "No." ”
"Not really?" Huang Zhiting was a little anxious, and said: "In case the Mongols are crazy and have to find you to avenge the enemy, then Li Chengliang and you have a bad relationship, once you sit in Guangning and do not move, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous for you in Liaoyang?" ”
Gao pragmatically said: "First, the Mongols have suffered great losses this year, and they do not have the ability to raise troops on a large scale in the short term; Second, do you know why Tumen only brought 8,000 people with them when they came to southern Liaoning last time? Because he didn't dare to bring too much, Tumut Chechen Khan said that Hannaji was my answer, if the Tumen went south, I was sure to persuade Hannaji to send troops to directly occupy the Tumen's lair, and then cooperate with Qi Nantang in Daning, the Tumen would not even be able to keep Chahanhot. ”
"Oh?" Wong Tsz-ting seemed a little surprised, indicating that she really did not know much about the situation in the north.
Gao pragmatic said: "Besides, even if I want to strengthen Liaodong, I don't need to transfer troops from Annan." I still have more people in Daming's family, but ...... It's not good, it's just transferred to Liaodong. ”
Gao Pragmatism does want money and money, and he wants people, and his current problem is that he doesn't dare to adjust.
The situation in Liaodong, as I have already said, has its own uniqueness, the governor, the general army and even the governor are stationed in three places, if the geographical location alone, the vast area east of the Liaohe River is all under the "direct jurisdiction" of the governor, and the general army is in charge of the defense of Liaoxi in the vast majority of cases, and the governor is not to mention, Miyun, which is far away near the Beijing division.
In this way, if Gao Shishi wants to mobilize a large number of families to Liaodong, he will definitely be mainly arranged on the line of Gaizhou, Haizhou, Liaoyang, Shenyang and Kaiyuan, and this line is east of the Liaohe River, and it happens to cut off Liaoxi and Liaodong. In this way, it is very dangerous in the eyes of the imperial court - there is a tendency to divide one side!
With high pragmatism and prudence, even if he thinks that according to Zhu Yijun's "generosity" on these issues in history, he may not necessarily have other ideas, but Zhu Yijun doesn't think much about it, it doesn't mean that no one thinks much about it.
Therefore, even if Gao Pragmatic could easily mobilize tens of thousands of families to come to Liaodong, he would not do it. Besides, mobilizing tens of thousands of families to come to Liaodong is itself a loss-making business.
When these families are scattered in various places, they have their own tasks and livelihoods -- the cavalry is responsible for the transportation and escort outside the Saiding, the infantry is responsible for the domestic transportation and escort, and the various mine protection teams and factory protection teams are not to mention the nature of "enterprise garrisons" - so they basically do not lose money when they are raised.
But if all these people are transferred to Liaodong, it will be different, first of all, it will increase the food burden of Liaodong, which does not need to be explained; Secondly, they have nothing to do in Liaodong, so they can only sit and eat, which also increases the burden on Jinghua.
The reason why Annan's 80,000 garrison troops can be raised is because of Jinghua's special status in Annan, and the two garrison armies are equivalent to Annan's "Imperial Forest Army", and Jinghua itself is only responsible for providing weapons and equipment, and the usual army raising is paid for by the Annan Metropolitan Commander.
Of course, this account is very magical, and the Annan Metropolitan Department will give the money to Jinghua first, and then Jinghua will be responsible for the salary.
Obviously, Gao Pragmatism is to avoid the two garrisons not being able to recognize the situation and not knowing whose soldiers they are.
At this time, Huang Zhiting suddenly asked, "How long do you expect to stay in Liaodong?" ”
Gao was stunned, shook his head and said: "It's not easy to say, I estimate that it should be done in at least three years." ”
According to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, as well as Gao Gong's examination method that year, there will be a big exam for three years in office, so to some extent, three years is considered a term of office.
"I ...... If I come to Liaodong, can I also bring some family members? Huang Zhiting lowered her head and asked.
Gao Pragmatic was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "You have a special status, no matter what position you hold in Annan, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, you are the toast of the court." Since you are a toast, your wolf soldiers are counted as the same as the entourage of other generals, and where you go, of course, you can take them wherever you go. ”
"Haidong's troops are very sufficient, and I can transfer thousands of wolf soldiers to Liaodong when the time comes." Huang Zhiting said.
But Gao Pragmatic shook his head: "What is the difference between you transferring wolf soldiers to Liaodong and me transferring Shenglong and Jingang garrisons to Liaodong?" If you transfer it, you will not be in Liaodong, and the court will not pay the wolf soldiers, and you will lose money and die when the time comes. ”
Huang Zhiting said: "But the wolf soldiers don't pay in the first place, not only do we not pay the wolf soldiers, we take the wolf soldiers to go out with the court, and the court doesn't pay them, just eat." If you don't care about food, then it doesn't matter, Annan has a bumper harvest this year, there is no shortage of grain in Haidong, I can feed these people myself, you just need to go out to ship and transport grain. ”
Gao pragmatically quipped: "Zhiting, you don't want this thinking. ”
"How?" Huang Zhiting was a little inexplicable.
Gao pragmatic smiled: "When you marry me, the money and food you waste is the money and food I waste, you have to be careful in your calculations." ”
Huang Zhiting was speechless by him for a while, and her face was a little red, and she said for a long time: "What should I do then...... I, I don't think it's safe for you to do this. I heard what you said before, the few people you can use are still in southern Liaoning, even if Liaoyang can be transferred over if something happens, there will be more than 2,000 less than 3,000 people, plus your own 3,000 people, this is only five or six thousand people. ”
Gao pragmatically said: "Cao Yan still has more than 5,000 dings left in his hand, I guess he will think of ways to make up the original 6,000 dings, don't I have more than 10,000 dings available?" ”
"I still don't think it's enough." Huang Zhiting shook his head and said: "Since Li Chengliang is unreliable, he has to make the worst estimate, just like the battle of southern Liaoning, in case there is another situation where he does not move, what should I do?" You said that the Tumen have no spare strength to dispatch in the near future, which may be true, but didn't you still receive news yesterday that the braised rabbit from the original fried flower department and the Jurchen Yehe department were mixed together? This Yehe Department seems to be quite powerful, and the Hada Department can't resist it at all, if Yehe is in trouble in the future, you will only have more than 10,000 people available......"
Ye He is indeed a Jurchen powerhouse, especially in the hands of the two brothers Qingjia and Yang Jitong over the years, Ye He's strength can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, and there may be about 8,000 troops at present, which is considered to be very strong, much stronger than Nurhachi at this time - even if the current Nurhachi takes Tulun City, and by the way, Salhu City is also yin, but the actual strength is only five or six hundred, and there are about more than 100 pairs of armor, compared with Ye He, it is completely incomparable, only the part that is crushed.
If Ye He gets Hada again, it is entirely possible that his family's strength will exceed 10,000.
The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible. Although this is definitely an exaggeration, even Huang Zhiting has heard it, so she still can't help but take precautions.
However, Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the two Ye He brothers, I have already prepared and will deal with them soon...... Are you going to come with me? ”
Huang Zhiting was surprised: "You want to recruit Ye He? ”
Gao pragmatic shook his head and smiled: "It's not a requisition, this time it's outwitting, and it's ...... It's not up to me to take it. ”
