Chapter 349: Giving Someone to Help
can be called "handsome", and the surname is Ma, in addition to Ma Gui, Liangchen can't think of a second person.
And that "General Yang Bing", if the history of Liangchen is not mistaken, it should be Yang Yuan, who was called an immortal famous general by the people of the time, but was cut off by Ma Gui.
Listening to Yang Hao's tone, and then looking at Wang Weidong's reaction, it seems that they are talking about the Battle of Nanyuan that year, and Wang Weidong is one of the dozens of Ming troops who escaped with Yang Yuan.
Speaking of the Battle of Nanyuan, it was really a bloody battle, which ended with a crushing defeat of the Ming army and almost the annihilation of the entire army.
But this battle is not a war.
In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was well prepared, issued an order to invade the dynasty again.
120,000 Japanese troops rushed to Korea on the left and right.
The commander of the Left Route Army and the commander of the Japanese First Army, Konishi Yukinaga, personally led 49,000 men to attack Namwon, an important town in Jeolla Province.
The commander of the Right Route Army and the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Kato Kiyomasa, led 65,000 men to attack Jeonju.
The defenders of the Ming army in Nanyuan were only 3,500 people, and the defender was Yang Yuan.
The Ming army defenders in Quanzhou were only 2,500 people, and the guard general Chen Yuxin.
On the Korean side, because the naval army of the Qichuan Liang Naval Battle was ambushed by the Japanese army and annihilated, it had no military strength to cooperate with the Ming army at all, and only summoned more than 1,000 Korean soldiers to help defend Namwon City.
The huge disparity in the strength of the two sides doomed the Ming army to be impossible to win, but after receiving the information that the Japanese army was attacking, Yang Yuan did not lead his troops to evacuate Nanyuan, but immediately strengthened the defense, organized manpower to dig a moat outside the city, and placed the only three cannons above the city gate.
Nanyuan City was built on the plain, and there was no geographical advantage to take advantage of, so it was only trapped in a lonely city and fought to the death.
The battle soon began, and in the face of the holding Ming army, the Japanese army began to attack the city under the command of Konishi Yukinaga. They attacked the defenders with arquebuses, while the Ming counterattacked with cannons and muskets.
Yang Yuan's department was a cavalry, and the defense of the city made it impossible to give full play to the cavalry advantage, and from the beginning, it fell into a disadvantage.
As time passed, the defenders of Nanyuan Castle continued to die, and their morale gradually declined.
Yang Yuan decisively sent people to ask for help from Chen Yuji, the defender of Quanzhou, but Chen Yucheng did not move, and then led his troops to flee directly.
There were no defenders inside, no reinforcements outside, and Nanyuan became a Jedi.
On the fourth day, the Japanese filled the moat and stormed the walls using siege ladders.
Yang Yuan saw that the general trend had gone, and decided to break through with the remaining Ming and Korean troops.
However, the North Korean side refused to break through, so Yang Yuan fought out of the south gate and fled in the direction of Hanyang, and then the Japanese army attacked the city and slaughtered the city.
In the end, Yang Yuan fought his way out of the encirclement, and only forty-three of the 3,500 soldiers remained.
Inside, there is Wang Weidong.
At that time, he escorted Yang Yuan all the way to the death, and he still gritted his teeth and insisted on several wounds in his body, in Yang Hao's words, he was really crawling out of the pile of dead people.
After the Battle of Namwon, the Japanese army drove straight in, broke through Jeonju, and threatened Hanyang. The commander of the Ming army, Ma Gui, was forced to gather the defenders from all over the country to Hanyang, and the situation did not change until the Battle of Jishan broke out.
After Yang Yuan, who was covered in blood, fled back, Ma Gui personally met him and said to him: "The defeat of Nanyuan is not a crime of war."
However, at the same time, Ma Gui suggested in his document to the Ministry of War that Yang Yuan should be beheaded in accordance with military law.
A few months later, Yang Yuan was taken to Liaoyang and beheaded before the army.
Wang Weidong is still unhappy about this, he always thinks that Yang Yuan is wronged, and it is difficult for Ma Gui to convince the public when he killed him by military law.
Liangchen also felt that it was a pity that Yang Yuan died.
3,500 people against 50,000 people, Yang Yuan fought to the death, and finally successfully stood out from the heavily surrounded Japanese army, no matter how you look at it, this is a hero, a great hero!
But such a big hero died at the hands of his own commander, no matter how you look at it, it's a tragedy.
Yang Yuan did his duty, if he wanted to run, he could run without a trace at the beginning, and no matter how many Japanese troops tried to intercept him.
Because, Yang Yuan's subordinates are all cavalry.
If Ma Gui can give Yang Yuan the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, perhaps, a brand-new handsome star is in full swing at the moment. Just like Li Rusong back then.
Whether it is Li Rusong or Yang Yuan, but only one of them survives, and the sky outside the gate will not become so fast.
But when a person is dead, what is the use of more regret, and what is the use of more deduction!
Wang Weidong's life was picked up from the pile of dead people, and it was also picked up by Yang Hao.
Back then, if it weren't for Yang Hao's timely rescue, Wang Weidong might have been killed by Ma Gui.
In Ma Gui's eyes, anyone who loses can be killed. If you don't kill them, it's not enough to enforce military discipline.
Judging from the military law regulations, what Ma Gui did is understandable.
However, judging from the favors, the facts, and the results, Ma Gui is inevitably a little harsh.
This led to the fact that twelve years have passed, and Wang Weidong has always hated Magui in his heart.
He didn't hate Ma Gui and wanted to kill himself, but hated Ma Gui for killing Yang Yuan indiscriminately.
On the way from Nanyuan to Hanyang, he watched how many good men fell under the Japanese sword, he watched Yang Yuan, an iron-blooded man who never cried, kneeling in front of the corpses of his subordinates and crying bitterly, and then kowtowed a few times and continued to break through with the rest of the people.
Before Yang Yuan's execution, Wang Weidong went to see him with his comrades who had escaped together.
He remembered that when Yang Yuan saw them, his lonely expression immediately became happy.
"As long as you are alive, I Yang Yuan will not be wronged if he dies."
Yang Yuan died generously, and died peacefully, because he left some seeds for his subordinates.
Twelve years have passed, and the seeds that Yang Yuan had left behind when he desperately broke through are germinating one by one, but the hatred of these seeds has never faded.
Wang Weidong hates Ma Gui.
Therefore, he couldn't accept that Lao Jingluo wanted to invite Ma Gui to the imperial court to come to Liaodong, which was more resolute than he couldn't accept the fact that Li Rubai had revived.
Yang Hao knows what Aijiang experienced back then, and he also knows that this grievance cannot be resolved by himself in a few words. There are some things, he can't patronize these old subordinates, and it is certain that Ma Gui will come to Liaodong, because Yang Hao can't tolerate the slightest mistake in the battle of the barbarians.
"You go and rest first, and everything must focus on the overall situation. You don't have to think too much about Ma Shuai, just listen to orders. On the Li family's side, you have to bear with it, and you must not spoil a big thing because of a momentary mood. ”
Yang Hao sighed and asked Wang Weidong to go back and rest. Wang Weidong was a little unwilling and wanted to fight for a few words, but seeing that Lao Jingluo's expression was also a little painful, he finally endured it.
"Daqing, you have done a good job in Jianzhou, I have asked the court for credit for you." After Wang Weidong left, Yang Hao asked about Wei Liangchen's affairs in Jianzhou.
The good ministers said it one by one, no matter how big or small, and the death of Altuna was also said. Of course, although Shulhaqi was also dead, he still didn't dare to speak out about the Guerga clan.
Yang Hao couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and then said directly: "The matter of Jianzhou, for now, I will put it aside, and let you wait in Shenyang for a while, I want to ask you for help." ”
Liangchen noticed that Yang Hao called himself "Sheren" instead of "student", and immediately understood what the other party had in mind.
Sure enough, after Yang Hao proposed to let Wei Liangchen return to Beijing, he foreshadowed his expedition to the barbarians in front of the emperor after the year.
How to foreshadow, that's the matter of the good minister.
In short, Yang Hao hopes that he can get the emperor's unconditional support and trust, including the matter of inviting Ma Gui out of the customs.
