Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1344 Nancha Disturbance ([-]) Strategy
Can Brihatu see through this strategy?The answer is yes.

For the highly pragmatic military style, Brihatu has done sufficient research in recent years.Except for the time he visited Ping'an South, Brihatu really couldn't get detailed information, so he could only use the battle report submitted by Gao Yushi to the court and the mansion report issued by the court to get scraps of information. During the three wars, Brihatu has repeatedly studied it many times.

Brihatu even confidently believes that he is the person who knows the high-level practical combat style best.

In Brihatu's view, although high-level pragmatic command operations may sometimes be bold in the eyes of others, for example, he will use weak infantry to face superior cavalry head-on, but he is not an adventure in itself, but he clearly understands these new techniques. Tactics, infantry with new weapons can do this.

Correspondingly, Xin Ai, Chaohua, and Bo Shuo Ketu can only know themselves but not the enemy. They are completely unclear and unaware of the changes that have taken place in their enemies, and they still think that the cavalry In the face of desperation, rushing regardless of casualties is enough to defeat all infantry who dare to stop.

This is the key to the victory of the three battles in Monan, Liaonan, and Northwest because of the high-practice "riding with steps".

In addition to this seemingly magical "riding with steps", the highly pragmatic combat style has become very common, and its deployment of troops can even be called conservative.

Of course, although the highly pragmatic formation of troops does not seem to have any genius, Burhatu still found two other advantages of being highly pragmatic.

One is that he is extremely accurate in predicting the enemy, and can always judge the opponent's intentions, and then take advantage of the situation.Sometimes he would even deliberately set up a trap, letting his enemies get into the trap along the way he wanted, and let him manipulate him.

The second is that his use of arms and weapons has never been limited to routines.For example, naval forces were rarely used in northern battles in the past, but Gao Pragmatic used "naval forces" in the Battle of Southern Liaoning.In fact, most of the failures of frying flowers are due to ignorance of the navy and lack of resistance.

Another example is that Gao’s pragmatic use of cannons is different from that of any Ming general in the past. He seldom used cannons scattered, and he would never equip an army with only a few hundred people with artillery.The artillery in the high-level pragmatic army has always been used intensively, and every time the artillery is fired, it is earth-shattering and invincible.

Under this approach, although the Ming army did not have artillery on all fronts like in the past, the pressure on the enemy in front of it has increased exponentially, so that it is impossible to block it with flesh and blood.Often after a artillery bombardment, the enemy army is either severely damaged or collapsed, and has no power to resist the next infantry assault.

Brihatu already knows himself and the enemy, but that doesn't mean he can crack it easily, let alone be victorious in all battles.

When the Mongols traveled all over the world, after their opponents suffered one loss, two losses, and three losses, didn’t they still know themselves and their enemies?Of course it does.

So have they turned the tables?Obviously not.

They were still beaten to the north by the Mongols. Except for the Southern Song Dynasty who relied on strong city defenses for so many years, almost all other enemies could only be defeated all the way to subjugation in front of the Mongols.

When a certain military tactical advantage is so great that the opponent cannot find a suitable means to deal with it anyway, "Unrivaled Under Heaven" appears.

To deal with this kind of absolute "invincibility" at the tactical level, in most cases, we can only rely on strategic coverage or national strength.

The Southern Song Dynasty resisted Mongolia for many years, which is a typical example of reckless national power. Although it failed in the end, its failure was not the failure of this strategy, but the combination of various internal and external factors, which made the strategy unable to continue to go smoothly. The execution continued, and at the same time, some unexpected factors caused the crash to accelerate.

However, the reckless struggle of national power has always been only the Central Plains against the nomads, and it is absolutely impossible for the nomads to the Central Plains.The total population of the tribes under Tumen's command is far less than that of Liaodong, a mere "large land and sparsely populated", what kind of national strength can they use to compete recklessly with Daming?Don't even think about it.

Therefore, Burhatu can only think of ideas from the strategic level.

In terms of big strategy, Burihatu has already thought of ways, such as creating a rebellion in the Northwest, mobilizing the main force of the Ming army to suppress the rebellion, and delaying the Ming army's decisive battle preparations. This is one of the big strategies.

But now, the battle situation in Liaodong has reached this point, and Brihatu has to make a smaller strategy so that Mongolia will not continue to suffer in the "high pragmatic style" war like the previous three battles. Big loss.

What is Liaodong's grand strategy?It is to compete for trade routes.

Whether it was for Daming or the Mongolian left wing, the reason why they came to Yehe to fight this battle was ultimately for the Beiguan trade route.

As for Ye He... Although it is a powerful Jurchen, in the eyes of Daming or Mongolia, it is just a man who is guilty of committing crimes.Its strength lies in its mastery of the Beiguan trade route, and this time it was beaten for the same reason.If we have to look forward, Gao Wushi killed Qing Jiani and Yang Jipi to warn Ye He not to make mistakes for the sake of the Beiguan trade route.

The highly pragmatic move is actually the embodiment of Daming's attitude towards Beiguan trade route: Ye He can master this trade route, but you must have a code of conduct, that is, listen to Daming's words honestly.Once you start to behave disobediently, I'm sorry, the fate of Qing Jia Niu and Yang Ji Niu is a lesson for you.

Daming is the center of the entire "business", and it can also be regarded as the end point, so it doesn't need to control this business route by itself, as long as it has an obedient younger brother to control it.After Daming ate the meat, he didn't mind giving his younger brother a sip of soup.

Mongolia and China are obviously different.No one cares about the trade between Jurchen and Mongolia, and they can do whatever they want, so Mongolia's attack on Yehe is obviously not a trade dispute.

Mongolia came to take Yehe for two main purposes: first, try to replace Yehe, control the trade in Beiguan, and then replenish blood for Chahar; The situation around Eastern Liaodong is in turmoil, attracting the attention of the Ming court. It is best for the Ming court to invest heavily in the Jurchen tribes around Eastern Liaodong—whether financial or military, so as to continue to delay the Ming Dynasty’s preparations for the war against Chahar.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the first item is the most impossible to achieve, because according to the habits of the Ming court, you can do business with anyone, but you can't do business with Chahar, the "Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty".

But Brihatu knows that this is a bit tricky. For example, Daming was not willing to do business with Chahar before, but they can do business with various tribes around Chahar, and these tribes turned to Chahar. Daming doesn't care about trade anymore.In other words, anyone can act as a second-hand dealer between Daming and "Great Yuan".

This is a very interesting approach, which reflects a characteristic of Ming Dynasty: I only need to "be in China" and I can "govern all nations" naturally, and I don't bother to care about it when I am out of the Ming Dynasty.

From Da Ming's point of view, Ye He belongs to the half Ming realm, so Da Ming doesn't care about it.But Brihatu believes that as long as Yehe is no longer Yehe, such as becoming Chahar, Daming will definitely take care of it from the beginning, but once he finds it too difficult to help Yehe "restore the country", especially if it costs too much Sometimes, Daming will most likely choose to acquiesce to the situation in front of him.

This situation, of course, is that Chahar annexed Yehe.So what then?

Yehe's Beiguan trade route is so important, Daming also needs it.Moreover, not only the imperial court needs it, but the generals of Liaodong need it even more!Without the Beiguan trade route, what will the generals of Liaodong do?Is it the royal salary?That's just enough food and clothing!
Therefore, Liaodong generals will definitely find ways to continue to open up this trade route, first from the imperial court to find a way-this is also Buri Hatu's main purpose, that is, to strive for the "tribute market", even if it is for this purpose. .

But this one may not be so easy, then we have to go through another channel, that is, maintain trade through the private market - Li Chengliang definitely agrees.Even if the imperial court knew about it, they would probably not say anything about it, because the imperial court also had an irreplaceable demand for the products traded in Beiguan.

In this way, Brihatu's plan was considered a success.

At the same time, no matter whether this plan is successful or not, it will not affect his second purpose, which is to attract the attention of the Ming court and pour power into the surrounding areas of Liaodong, especially the Jurchen ministries.

Yehe is actually the most powerful chieftain of Jurchen at present, and his real strength must surpass that of the nominal "Manchurian lord" Hada, so once Yehe suffers a devastating blow, it doesn't even need to be "destructive", as long as it is a serious blow , will lead to an imbalance in the strength of Jurchen's ministries.

At that time, Hada would remember that Ye He had poached many people from him, and Nurhachi would remember that the feud between him and Ye He to kill his father was always a hidden danger, and even Huifa, Ula and other ministries might covet him. heart of.What's more, if Hada goes north, it's hard to say whether Nurhachi will sneak attack Hada.

All in all, Liaodong is likely to become a pot of porridge.

Under this situation, Daming is in an embarrassing situation where the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.Daming definitely hoped that the Jurchen ministries would be as safe as possible, at least until it had a showdown with Chahar, the Jurchen ministries must not be chaotic.

However, Ye He's loss will inevitably lead to Jurchen chaos. At this moment, Daming can't stand still. He has to show the posture of the kingdom of heaven, and ask the ministries not to use force easily, or simply redistribute benefits or something.

But no matter what Da Ming did, he had to show the strength to sweep the entire Jurchen, so as to deter them.In this way, Daming can only be forced to pour power into Liaodong, and Chahar will naturally be able to take the opportunity to recuperate and start a career.

The above are Buri Hatu's strategic ideas in Liaodong, and now facing the Ming army that has already pressed up, his tactics must also be unified under these strategies.

From strategy to tactics, in terms of strategy, Yehe has actually reached the minimum standard in Brihatu's plan after taking the west city, that is, Yehe has been severely injured.

Although this "heavy injury" does not mean that Ye He's main combat power no longer exists, but Ye He's strength is in the two cities of the east and the west. Withdrawing now, it will take a long time for Ye He to recover his strength.

Although Bu Zhai himself lost not a lot of troops, he lost a lot of people.If Tumen could take away these leaders, or even take away only [-], for the Jurchen tribe with a small population, it might not be easier than losing three to five thousand soldiers directly.

According to Yehe's tradition, Dongcheng will definitely support Xicheng at that time, so the whole Yehe will be transferred to a recuperation period, but Hada and Jianzhou may not be willing to let him rest.

It's okay for Hada, after all, I got news today that Menggebulu was beaten up by Nurhachi. It seems that Hada's strength has dropped significantly. It is good to be able to maintain the current situation, but Nurhachi may find it difficult to be honest.

From the overall situation, if Daming only needs to subdue Nurhachi's family, then of course it will not be difficult, but as long as Nurhachi is not stupid enough, he will not jump out to make trouble alone at this time.He will definitely find a way to "cooperate vertically and horizontally" to attract or instigate more tribes to jump out of troubled waters to fish in troubled waters, and to make trouble for Ye He. At this time, the Jurchen tribes will not talk about the friendship of the same clan.

In this way, Daming will definitely be very annoying, and at the same time, he can only mobilize more forces in Liaodong to maintain order.

So Brihatu was not in a hurry at this time, he could "guarantee the bottom line" not to fight this battle, the whole army withdrew from the east city and returned to the west city to wait and see.

As for the Ming army and Ye He, even if they immediately turned around and attacked Xicheng, Burihatu didn't have to rush - fight if you can, and leave if you can't.Don't you rely on things like bayonet formations and cart camps to ride in steps?Then if I don't fight with you, what else can you do, if you have the ability to catch up with me.

However, this is only the "minimum". If the Ming army was led by Gao Yushi himself this time, Brihatu will definitely accept it as soon as it is good. It is completely enough to achieve this goal, and it will be fine to withdraw.

But this time Gao Yushi did not come, it was only Cao Yu who came, and Burihatu could not withdraw so easily. He felt that the Liaodong Ming Army must understand the strength of Mongolia, and don't think that relying on Gao Yushi A few victories can underestimate the Mongols.

"Great Khan, the Ming people are coming up." Brihatu rode on the horse, and according to the usual habit, immediately stood on the left side of the Khan Tumen, watching the battle formation of the Ming army slowly approaching.

Of course Tumen saw it too, but what he said was more direct: "The infantry came, and their cavalry didn't move."

Brihatu just said "hmm" and didn't say much.

Tumen turned his head subconsciously and asked, "Do they have any tricks?"

Burihatu shook his head: "Cao Yu doesn't know whether he was afraid of being beaten in the battle of Chang'an Fort, or he deliberately imitated Gao Yushi. His arrangement completely copied Gao Yushi's thinking, but he just planned to entangle the main force of our army with the infantry of the Chinese army. , and then look for an opportunity to let the elite servants launch an attack from a certain flank of our army, intending to cut off our army, and then encircle and wipe out part of it, it is not a trick."

Tumen didn't care about what happened to Cao Yu, he only cared about how to fight, so he directly asked, "How to break it?"

Unexpectedly, Brihatu said: "There is no solution to this method."

Tumen was stunned for a moment, his brows were wrinkled, and he was even sullen: "What did you say?"

Brihatu sighed: "Although there is no trick in this style of play, it is difficult to handle because it is upright... Khan, do you know why Gao Wushi likes to play like this?"

Tumen remained silent, obviously unconvinced.

Brihatu smiled wryly and answered by himself: "Because this style of play is the one in which the Ming army can give full play to its advantages. If our army confronts him head-on, it will be in his favor, because it is difficult for our army to break through his artillery circle. With the bayonet formation, we can only be restrained by his infantry. And if our army goes around the flank, because they have the advantage of the inside line, they can change direction at any time, never giving us a chance to sneak attack on the flank, and even... Sweaty look, Today they have their flanks on the defensive."

Tumen took a look and found that the flanks were indeed on guard, with the character "Zhang" vertically on the left wing and the character "Pu" vertically on the right wing.

"Zhang Wanbang and Pu Yuanyi." Tumen narrowed their eyes slightly: "The left wing is definitely not allowed to go, that little bastard Zhang Wanbang is very powerful."

That is, Chaohua was held by Zhang Wanbang forcefully and dragged to death in front of his bayonet formation, isn't it very powerful.

Brihatu didn't speak, Tumen couldn't help frowning and said: "Why don't you speak, it's all right?"

"There is no way to fight directly." Brihatu shook his head and said: "Khan, we are different from the Ming people. We can't afford to lose, so we can't fight like this. They want to use their skills in a highly pragmatic style of play. Advantage, how can we let them do so easily? We have to have our own style of play."

After hearing this, Tumen realized that there was still a solution, and couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope: "How to fight?"

Brihatu said: "Let's pretend to be defeated for a while and withdraw immediately."

Tumen was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "You mean to let them move, and after they can't form this broken bayonet formation, let's kill him back to the carbine?"
