If you think so, you really wronged President Wei.

Wei Bao is not so stingy.

Eating a few more meals is nothing, Wei Bao's family has a big business, and it needs to be lacking, and what is lacking now is also a lot of money, and I don't care about the expenses of eating.

The main Wei Bao felt that Sun Chengzong should not be troublesome, should not ask about the war horse, let alone want to know the details of his army, and his specific combat goals against Jiannu in the next step!

If you want something, go and seize it yourself, since you know in your heart that in this war, all the people are from me by myself, all the armaments are from the treasure army, and no one from the Jiliao Governor's Mansion has ever been out, why do you want to take a hand?

"Wouldn't this be a little bit like that to Inspector Sun?" Wu Xuexia couldn't help but ask.

"What?" Wei Bao smiled: "Too mean? ”

Wu Xuexia shook her head and said: "I didn't say that, I'm worried about giving people a handle, when reporting military merits, I must not only report the killing of more than 8,000 Jiannu, but also the capture of so many war horses, I will definitely mention it." ”

"Don't be afraid." Wei Bao smiled confidently: "The emperor and Wei Zhongxian will not care about this, they are not leading troops, how can they pay attention to war horses." If someone impeaches me for this, I don't even have to bother. ”

The Bao army had its own cavalry units, most of which were Mongols, and they had been strengthening their training, mainly ideological training.

Otherwise, if the Han people were used to train cavalry, it would be difficult to train cavalry units that could compete with Jiannu in another ten years.

The cavalry of the Bao Army is 5,000 people, and because of the shortage of war horses, only more than 1,000 people can actually be used for battle, and now it is considered to solve the problem of war horses.

Just as Wei Bao was sending the delegation away, Nurhachi met with Yanguli at the head of Shengcheng City.

Yanguli told him about the current situation, and Nurhachi was furious: "Who gave you the courage to give up the camp? You also gave a huge amount of grain, grass and fire to Wei Bao, but you can't do it with Wei Bao? ”

The others were also furious, shouting and insulting Yang Guli, scolding Yang Guli for being a coward and a bad seed.

Yanguli was not particularly surprised, and was mentally prepared for the attitude of Nurhachi and the generals.

"Great Khan, I have no face to live in the world, I was on the battlefield, I wanted to wipe my neck! But I agreed to the peace request of the Heaven and Earth Society, in order to protect the remaining elite of the Great Khan Iron Cavalry in the residence! I can't let the remaining 20,000 or so troops be wiped out in my hands! In addition, the reason why I gave up the grain and grass, the big camp, and the fire is definitely because I fornicated with Wei Bao, let alone Wei Bao, have any of you seen me see outsiders in private? I haven't even seen a few Han people, and if I want to see them, I will see them on the battlefield, so I don't talk about fornication. I think Wei Bao's army is indeed capable of fighting, and their firearms superiority is incomparable to my army. The battalion only had some wooden fences, which were not vulnerable at all, and they would definitely not be able to hold it. We are going to fight against Wei Bao's army, and there are only two scenarios that have the advantage! Yanguli said.

"What two cases?" Nurhachi said angrily.

"One, either rely on a strong city like Shengjing City to maneuver with the enemy, and second, with the power and speed of my iron cavalry, I will fight in circles with the enemy in the field, instead of confronting it head-on." Yangguli Road.

Nurhachi was silent, he himself ordered Yanguli to take the initiative to attack Wei Bao, and now it seems that all mistakes started from him.

"Then according to what you say, when Wei Bao's army wants to come to our territory in the future, can come when it wants? Now that Wei Bao's men have occupied your camp, there is no way we can drive them away? Mang Gurtai said angrily.

"So I think it's good to make peace! Even if we can't drive the other side away, as long as we maintain the decisive battle posture and keep sending troops to attack and harass, it is impossible for Wei Bao's soldiers and horses to gain a foothold in our territory. Yanguli said.

"Even if you think the peace negotiation is good, you shouldn't give up the grain, grass and fire!" Nurhachi's anger came up again, shouting at Yanguli.

"The men they sent were in a hurry, saying that they would not retreat within two sticks of incense, and that they would attack. Moreover, the other side pointed out that they wanted our grain and grass and fire, saying that it was sincere as a peace talk. Yanguli sighed.

Nurhachi rubbed his hands angrily at Yanguli, but he didn't yell at Yanguli anymore.

"Father Khan, Wei Bao is too arrogant, please let me lead the troops to battle!" Mang Gurtai said loudly.

Huang Taiji also said: "Father Khan, Wei Bao is a tiger and a wolf, and he cannot negotiate peace with him. ”

Nurha's brain was down again, groggy and groggy, not knowing what he was thinking.

Today's Nurhachi seems to have completely lost the decisiveness of the past, Nurhachi knows Yanguli's loyalty and bravery, and knows that Yanguli feels that he can't fight head-on, but he really can't beat him.

But if you want to compromise with Wei Bao on this, you must not say it, not to mention, Nurhachi also knows that Huang Taiji is right, and if you negotiate peace today, giving Wei Bao a few years will definitely be a big trouble for Dajin Guo.

"Let the mage do the divination!" Nurhachi was powerless.

Everyone was silent for a while, although the Manchurians had the habit of letting the mage divinate when they couldn't decide on something important.

But when it came to military matters, the Great Khan had never been so hesitant.

So he invited the mage, and the divination took more than an hour.

The result of the mage's divination is that it is better to negotiate peace than to use force.

"It's all providence, so let's talk about it first! Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai, you go and negotiate peace! "Nurha equator.

Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai glanced at each other, they had just made it clear that they would fight Wei Bao's army to the end, but they didn't expect the Great Khan to let the two of them go.

"Yes, Father Khan." Both of them agreed at the same time.

Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai said that they would leave, and sent people to Yangguli's former camp to find the people of the Baojun army and say that they agreed to negotiate peace.

Madman Tan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately let people pass on President Wei.

Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia were playing against each other in a tent by the river.

When Wei Bao passes the time, he can play two chess, because Wei Bao does not like to play Go, the rules are complicated, and he does not have the leisure to study.

Or you can also let Wu Xuexia teach herself to play the erhu, Wei Bao is also quite interested in musical instruments.

"Jiannu asks for peace." After Wu Xuexia saw the signal soldier, she said to President Wei.

"Oh? What do you think? What are we asking for? Wei Bao asked.

Wu Xuexia had thought about this question for a long time, but neither she nor Wei Bao thought that Nurhachi would really agree to negotiate peace.

"Compensate four million taels of military expenses, and let Jiannu open up the Qinghe River as a treaty port, and allow our army to camp at the Qinghe port." Wu Xuexia said.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, four million taels is an astronomical amount for Da Ming, how could Jiannu agree?

"You're too ruthless, you're not sincere at all." Wei Bao laughed.

"How ruthless? Every time Jiannu robbed Daming, which time would cause losses to Daming to be less than one million taels? Wu Xuexia said: "As long as Jiannu agrees to our request, we will strike with them and agree not to invade each other." ”

"Okay, you can arrange it." Wei Bao smiled.

"Well, I'll write the terms, and the president wants to use the seal, do I have to sign it?" Wu Xuexia asked.

"With the big seal of the Heaven and Earth Society, you won't sign it, just let the madman Tan sign it." Wei Bao Road.

"I'm afraid it won't work, Jiannu will definitely think that we are insincere." Wu Xuexia said.

"Send the treaty over first, Jiannu won't agree, such a big thing, at least a few back and forth." Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Xuexia nodded, she agreed with this, it would definitely not be that simple, it was estimated that Jiannu just wanted to see their attitude first.

Wu Xuexia quickly drafted the treaty, and after showing it to Wei Bao, she used the seal of the Heaven and Earth Society, and then asked the messenger to send it to the madman Tan.

Madman Tan signed according to Wu Xuexia's request for a message and handed it over to the person sent by Jiannu.

Jiannu's messenger immediately flew back to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji immediately took the treaty and sent it to Nurhachi.

"Bastard, how can this be reasonable, hit immediately!" Nurhachi reacted quickly this time.

This may be the first time that the Ming side has negotiated with Jiannu in the real sense.

Although President Wei can't represent Daming, he doesn't want to represent Daming.

Wei Bao did not see the Ming Dynasty as the most failed dynasty in governance.

The demise of a dynasty is caused by a complex variety of comprehensive contradictions, and it is by no means caused by one person or one thing.

It is by no means explained by a simple monarch and a mediocre minister.

There is growing dissatisfaction with the practice of finding the economic root cause of all historical phenomena.

Several main reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The financial crisis and the destruction of the military cantonment system, the dilemma of a two-front war, the conflict between the new economic factors and the old national capital, and the eunuch dictatorship and party struggle.

The financial crisis and the destruction of the military tun system were first of all the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty or the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty.

In Wei Bao's view, all problems were rooted in the economy, but the Ming Dynasty's poor finances were indeed one of the reasons for its demise.

The land tax of the Ming Dynasty was low for a long time, which was the same as that of the Han Dynasty, and the tax rate of less than 20 percent in the Ming Dynasty was not high compared to the surrounding countries at that time, while the tax rate in Japan was as high as 50 percent in the same period.

However, as in the Han Dynasty, the low tax rate only led to a decrease in state revenue, but did not benefit the people, because the lower taxes were attributed to the landlords and wealthy families, and in essence the burden changed hands.

The exploitation of the landlords made low tax rates meaningless.

However, it caused a shortage of national use, and later Chongzhen was repeatedly trapped by financial problems.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the failure of the appeasement policy was due to the lack of money and the lack of money to resettle the rebel refugees, and the refugees had to surrender and rebel in order to survive.

During the Chongzhen period, natural disasters and droughts caused by ineffective disaster relief led to a great peasant uprising, which was also related to the lack of treasury.

As for the "three salaries" such as "Liao Salary", "Suppression Salary", and "Training Salary" in the later period, which led to the intensification of contradictions and accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty, all of them were related to the financial crisis.

As for what some people said that there were tens of millions of taels of silver in Chongzhen's inner mansion, it was really nonsense, and it had been identified as a false rumor, so there was no need to distinguish it.

That is, from a common sense point of view, Chongzhen at the critical juncture when Li Zicheng's troops were forcing the Beijing Division, and on the day when Sheji was about to die, if he had surplus wealth, why did he need to ask hundreds of officials to "donate", and finally delay the transfer of troops.

The reason why the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty was so serious was largely due to the loss of an important source of finance, that is, the destruction of the military system.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the military cantonment system had a strong guarantee of military spending.

In the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 23 million stones of grain in the country's military tun fields, but the national tax grain was only more than 31 million stones, and the income of the military tun fields accounted for more than 70 percent of the national tax grain.

Unfortunately, the military tun system has been gradually destroyed since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, as early as the Hongzhi period, the military department Shangshu Ma Wensheng pointed out, "Tuntian government abolished, the register does not exist." Up and down, no official inspection. As a result, the official flags of the guards, the powerful soldiers and civilians invaded and stole and sold five or six of them, and Tuntian was in name only. ”

The military expenditures that were originally responsible for the military tun have been spent from the treasury since the Ming Dynasty Wuzong Zhengde, which means that since then, not only has a huge fiscal revenue been reduced, and military expenditure has become a heavy burden on the state finance, but also after that, because the military salary needs to be allocated by the state and cannot be paid on the spot (the military salary under the military tun system mainly comes from the harvest of the military tun field. The reliability of the timely payment of military salaries has been greatly reduced.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has often had the worry that "it can't afford to fight".

The "Three Great Expeditions of Wanli" cost 7 million taels for the battle of aid to Korea alone, 2 million taels for the battle of Ningxia, and at least 2 million taels for the battle of Zhuozhou. Later, the Liaodong War and the domestic civil uprising all consumed a large amount of military spending.

During the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, due to the fact that the military salary could not be paid in time, the mutiny occurred from time to time, and the soldiers demanded the salary and mutinied, all over the military guards.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful "King Chuang" Gao Yingxiang's troops in the early stage of the peasant uprising were mostly defected by the Ming army, which was the evil result of the lack of military salaries. The arrears of military salaries even affected Liaodong, and in the first year of Chongzhen, the Liaodong mutiny was caused by military salaries.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, because he could not make up one million salaries for the army, and delayed the transfer of Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry into Beijing, it was the last life-saving straw for the Ming Dynasty. Imagine that if the military cantonment system is not abolished, and the military expenditure is abundant enough to be self-sufficient, how can there be such a worry?

The evil consequences of the abolition of the military camp a hundred years ago were finally reflected in the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years.

In any case, the orthodox dynasty of the Ming Dynasty directly perished at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the remnants of the forces perished at the Qing army.

The long-term two-front battle with the peasant rebel army and the Qing army was the direct cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen's dreaming of sleeping at night and being diligent in political affairs is not a typical image of the "king of the dead country" in traditional Chinese historiography.

However, the reality of internal and external troubles was met with natural disasters and droughts, as well as the peasant rebel army that arose as an inducement, and the iron cavalry of the Houjin Eight Banners in Liaodong.

In the wars of the late Ming Dynasty, there were often two major sorrows. When the Ming Dynasty fought against the Later Jin alone, it achieved certain victories and strategic advantages, such as the "Ningjin Great Victory" during the Apocalypse. However, with the continuous development of the peasant army on the Loess Plateau and the development and growth of the peasant rebel army in the late Ming Dynasty, there was no doubt that there were factors such as the additional dispatch of "Liaotai", "training and salary" and "suppressing salary", and the "three salaries" undoubtedly greatly increased the burden on the people at the bottom, and the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed in order to support the war in eastern Liaodong will eventually be passed on to the people at the bottom.
