Chapter 249: The Great Net

Tianlang nodded, but he was not agreeing with Qin Liangyu's self-humility, because in that battle, Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu were the first in the military merits of Nanchuan Road in the Eighth Route Army, but he and his wife did not report their military merits.

Those generals who fought for a little military merit after the war later guessed that Qin Liangyu probably felt that Yang Yinglong's rebellion was a little helpless, and felt that she and Ma Qiancheng were overflowing with sympathy.

Yang Yinglong, like Ma Qiancheng of Shizhu, is the hereditary Tusi of Banzhou, and like Ma Qiancheng, he is too fat to be targeted by Emperor Wanli.

Yang Yinglong made military exploits for the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli Dynasty, but he was also a murderous and tyrannical man, and even killed his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.

But although he has many crimes, none of them include rebellion, according to the custom, the local Tusi does something that is out of line with the law, and most of the court will turn a blind eye.

Speaking of which, Yang Yinglong's final rebellion was completely forced by those officials and people with ulterior motives in Sichuan and the imperial court.

Yang Yinglong was viciously accused by the Yanguan many times that he was plotting to rebel, if it weren't for the Sichuan Governor Li Hualong's heart to suppress the Yanguan's requisition and suppression again and again, the imperial court would have sent troops to recruit him.

Although Yang Yinglong felt that he was wronged, the situation was stronger than people, after all, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had no choice but to send his son to Chengdu as a hostage.

But this son who was a hostage went wrong, and died inexplicably shortly after arriving in Chengdu.

Who killed this proton and for what purpose is worth pondering.

Yang Yinglong didn't think deeply, but really reversed in anger.

Qin Liangyu's role in pacifying Yang Yinglong's battle has always been very low-key.

Hearing what Qin Liangyu just said, in the Battle of Banzhou, she only led the 500 jade battalion to escort grain and grass to the southern Sichuan army of Sichuan Governor Li Hualong, Tianlang pulled the corners of his mouth noncommittally and said to Qin Liangyu:

"Shangzhu Kingdom, if there is a team that can use you to escort grain and grass, it will really be their greatest luck.

Regarding the Battle of Banshu, I have actually done some understanding.

At the beginning of the war, you led 500 heavy men and horses to hold Dunkan, a key transportation point, so that the rebels abandoned their plan to cut off food.

Therefore, Yang Yinglong had a second plan in his heart.

He launched a sneak attack when your southern Sichuan army had just arrived and had not yet gained a firm foothold.

And you led 500 firehead troops to a counter-sneak attack, broke the enemy army and chased all the way, even breaking through seven rebel camps such as Jinzhuguan.

It is rumored that if it weren't for Yang Chaodong's guards who were not afraid of death to open a way for him, even he, Yang Yinglong's own son, would have become your prisoner in the first battle.

For example, I have as many baggage troops as the Shangzhu Kingdom, because as long as the Shangzhu Kingdom is there, the rest of the men and horses can eat and drink like Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, and treat the war as a wandering, and there is nothing else to do with it. ”

Qin Liangyu was silent after hearing this, the battle of Banzhou lasted more than eight years, and the reason why it dragged on for so long was that when Yang Yinglong rebelled, the Ming army under the leadership of the famous general Li Rusong pacified the Ningxia Bibai Rebellion in the northwest, and then Li Rusong led the elite of the Ming Dynasty to turn the edge again.

The Ming army fought twice against the Japanese in Korea under the command of Li Rusong and Chen Lin, and in a few years, 140,000 Japanese were wiped out, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's rule was overthrown, and Japanese history was rewritten, and in the two wars, the Ming army only killed 30,000.

Between the three major campaigns of Wanli, time had no respite for the Ming army, and the two battlefields in the northwest and northeast fought one after another.

And when Lulianghai fought the first battle, the main force of the Japanese was almost completely annihilated, and the campaign to aid Korea was completely over.

The Wanli Emperor immediately sent elite soldiers to Sichuan to conquer Banzhou with all his might.

In the face of the vast net of the 240,000 Ming Army of the Eighth Road, Yang Yinglong's first battle was a fiasco.

Yang Yinglong's fiasco in the first battle was not because of the other armies of the imperial court, but because he chose the wrong target for attack.

In horizontal comparison, in the face of 240,000 heavenly soldiers and fierce generals, he really does not have the command ability of Nurhachi.

However, if Yang Yinglong's command ability is scored, it will be at least seventy points or more, and this person is still very capable of fighting.

It's just that he is facing a Ming army that can be rated at least ninety.

And the ninety Ming army, under the leadership of Yang Hao, met the Jianzhou Jurchens who could fight ninety-five points in Sarhu.

Let's talk about Yang Yinglong, speaking of facing the Ming army's eight-way attack, Yang Yinglong found out that the commander of the Ming army in southern Sichuan, and Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, was about to extend in the barracks, so he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack.

As a result, he didn't take advantage of it, but he was chased by Qin Liangyu and Ma Qiancheng for dozens of miles with a five-hundred-hundred-headed army, and even his own son was almost lost.

Tianlang talked to Qin Liangyu about the war that people personally experienced:

"Seeing the records of that war, I found that in the previous Battle of Banzhou, Yang Yinglong had always fought well.

Yang Yinglong rebelled in anger in the twentieth year of Wanli because his son died in Chengdu, which was in the middle of the war in Ningxia.

In the eight years since, the imperial court has sent troops to encircle and suppress Yang Yinglong many times, but none of them have won a single victory, and they have all lost very completely.

Until the 28th year of Wanli's campaign, you and General Ma's counter-sneak attack was probably the first victory of our army.

Then the two of you took advantage of the victory to pursue, and successively broke through seven camps including Jinzhu Pass. ”

Qin Liangyu still listened silently, as if he didn't want to say anything about the war he participated in.

Tianlang couldn't help but sigh, "If it weren't for the large number of Ming Liang generals at that time, especially with you and General Ma, just talking about the deployment of our army in that war, if you face a strong enemy like Jiannu, it can be said to be useless." ”

Qin Liangyu's eyes flashed, looking squarely at Tianlang, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"In terms of campaign deployment alone, the Eighth Route Army is attacking and suppressing, and Yang Yinglong can almost completely break through.

It was the terrible plan of the Eighth Route Army in the Battle of Banju that became the prototype of our army's offensive plan in the Battle of Salhu not long after.

However, in the battle of Salhu, the 140,000 men and horses of our army's four-way army were defeated, Nurhachi almost won completely, and our army lost 50,000 people. ”

Tianlang has been talking, and Qin Liangyu has been listening.

In Tianlang's heart, the Eighth Route Army of the Battle of Banzhou, if there was no Qin Liangyu and Ma Qiancheng, it was likely to lose even worse than the Battle of Salhu.

And the defeat of Sarhu, it was precisely because there was no general like Qin Liangyu and a handsome talent like Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, that led to the battle not to lure the enemy to attack, but to go deep alone, and finally failed in the first battle, thus rewriting the history of the Ming Dynasty and sending countless military funds to Nurhachi.
