Chapter 56: Southern Liaoning
At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was still thinking about Sony's words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone says that if you are defeated, how can you be brave. If this is a little more progressive, it will be easy to understand, what kind of courage can the defeated generals of their subordinates say?
This is used to compare the relationship between Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and it is naturally very clear.
Although it was also defeated by the Ming Dynasty, if the Mongols could repel the invading Ming army, then the Qing army would no longer have anything to fear in the eyes of the Mongols. Even, the Mongols will count the new sorrow and old hatred together, and they will be resentful of the history that was conquered by Jiannu.
For the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the Mongols were both reliable allies and a lonely alliance of steppe tribes, and after more than ten years of operation by Nurhachi and Huangtaiji, the Mongols were no longer regarded as rivals that could be compared with themselves in the early morning.
Even now, even if the Qing Dynasty will decline for a while and a half, it is not an existence that the Mongols can humiliate.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was confident enough that if the Mongols dared to rebel, the iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty could still sweep away this group of loose tribal herdsmen who had long been abandoned by the times.
But......
The words of the defeated general completely shook the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
If the Mongols were defeated, the strategic situation of the Qing Dynasty would naturally be even worse.
But if the Mongols won, then the strategic situation of the Qing Dynasty will collapse completely.
If the Mongols tried to break away from the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would have to fall into complete civil strife. Even if the Qing army can finally put down the rebellion with a large army, it will greatly consume its own strength. When the time comes, even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory. Compared with the unscathed Ming people, the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty can only be more weak.
As long as she thinks of this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang can't help but feel a chill in her heart.
It's just that I haven't waited for the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang to say anything. Then he saw a man rushing quickly, and his footsteps did not stop. Even, because he rushed too violently, he couldn't care about the threshold when he entered, and he rushed in but suddenly made a dog eat and fell.
Where have the maids around the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang seen such a scene, they all screamed out in shock, causing the guards outside to rush over, and immediately planned to throw this person to the ground and arrest him on the spot.
Or the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang recognized the person and exclaimed: "Suke Saha, what are you going to do when you ran over in a panic?" I don't know, I thought you were planning to assassinate! ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was angry in her heart, and she didn't care a little when she spoke.
Su Ke Saha was not shocked by the angry words of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, but he was already immersed in another matter, and he saw him grabbing the guards beside him and standing up, and he didn't care about the courtesy, so he immediately spoke: "The Queen Mother!" It's a big deal, the ...... to the south Akito from the south, called! ”
"The Ming army has killed you? That only a female general, but 10,000 soldiers, dare to fight? Sony couldn't help but ask in shock.
"That's it, I'm afraid I have to ask the red lady!" Sukh Saha gasped.
"What is coming, the enemy's soldiers and horses, where are the troops, who is the main general, do you understand the investigation? I didn't understand and came over in a panic, what do you look like? Do you still dare to call myself an important minister of the Qing Dynasty? The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, and immediately patted the table and looked at Suke Saha.
It's just that as soon as she finished saying this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang couldn't help but sit down, and took a deep breath before calming down.
Seeing this, Sonny and Sukh Saha both knelt down silently in unison.
After a long time, Sukh Saha added his words: "The Ming army has left Phoenix City and has begun to mobilize soldiers. This is the information that came back from the front. Looking at the movements of the Ming people, it is not clear where they want to concurrency. However, according to the detailed investigation that infiltrated Phoenix City before, the number of soldiers and horses of the Ming people should be in the scale of 8,000 to 10,000. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked: "Even last year, when the Jingshi was so critical, the Red Lady only chose to secretly bring troops back to Liaoxi, and did not plan to do any tricks to attack the west, and to mobilize troops in Liaodong." I think you panicked when you heard the news, and you couldn't tell the difference between east and west, and you couldn't tell the difference between north and south. This Liaodong is still the Liaodong of my Qing Dynasty. Even if the Ming people are rampant for a while, can they still be arrogant for a lifetime? All around these four sides are the hinterland of my Qing Dynasty. Raise troops and horses here to fight, not to mention that the red lady takes the initiative to attack, whether she can hold the land within a radius of hundreds of miles of Caohe is a question! ”
Speaking of these, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was angry.
Since the loss of Korea, a vassal state, the Qing army has been completely weakened in surface battles. Without the North Koreans to enrich the naval division, the Qing people could not even fight the surface battles on the inland rivers.
A river of grass actually blocked the Qing people like this. Speaking of which, the geographical location of this Phoenix City is quite superior. The grass river made a big circle in the land of southern Liaoning, and the two jumps of tributaries were like a person opening his arms and embracing the land north of Phoenix. It only needs to be stationed in the upper reaches of the two tributaries, and the Grass River is like a moat, guarding the inner area for hundreds of miles. Such superior geographical conditions make the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang angry when she thinks about it.
Suke Saha was reprimanded by Xiaozhuang, so he could only bow his head, consciously taking the blame, and could only say the capital crime repeatedly.
Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang waved her hand, slowed down her tone, and said softly: "Suke Saha, Sony." You don't need to see that the mourners are angry, and say what is a capital crime or not a capital crime. You are the important ministers of my Qing Dynasty to tutor the emperor, and you are all loyal and patriotic warriors and righteous people. Such a person will hear the news, and he will not even notice the threshold in a hurry to come to the mourning home. Such a heart, the mourning family knows. Such loyalty, the mourning family will not lose, and the Qing Dynasty will not forget. The Southern Barbarians have been killed, and the warriors of my Great Qing Dynasty will definitely be able to kill them back. No matter how difficult it is now, how difficult it can be when Emperor Taizu's thirteen pairs of armor raised troops? ”
Sukh Saha and Sonny stood up one after another, and bowed heavily, greatly showing their loyalty.
"The Queen Mother is right. Originally, the land of southern Liaoning was an iron-shelled turtle by a river, but now that the turtle has emerged, the shell is useless. Such a good opportunity is a good time to smash this turtle shell, take back the land of southern Liaoning, and conquer North Korea again! Sukh Saha perked up.
Sonny on the other side opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was speechless for a while, so he had to say: "My Qing warrior will never be afraid of that female streamer!" ”
"With this heart, that is my warrior of the Qing Dynasty!" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang smiled: "Okay, the mourning family knows about the affairs of southern Liaoning." After a while, I will be anxious about the ministers of various ministries, gather troops and horses, select a commander, and pinch my Liaodong in my hands again! (To be continued.) )
