The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 389
Knowing that entering the customs and participating in the war would also lead to the loss of troops, Zu Dashou didn't care about it at all at this time.

He was very active, and without a word, he dispatched five thousand cavalry stationed in Ningyuan and Jinzhou to Shandong.

Zu Dabi was the main general and Zu Kuan was his deputy. The history was slightly different from the original history. Zu Dale, who shot and killed Li Jiuzheng, was absent because this kid was beheaded by Huang Hanzhen in the third year of Chongzhen.

The Guan Ning Army of the Ming Dynasty fought repeatedly against the Jiannu and was defeated repeatedly. Entering the pass to fight against the rogues was like a wolf and a tiger with one as ten existences.

The original Dongjiang soldiers rebelled by thousands of people, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty threw up their helmets and armor and fled. It seems that their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of other battalions of the Ming Dynasty.

The Guan Ning Army defeated Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde's rebels with countless casualties and retreated to Dengzhou City and did not dare to fight. This is enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of the Guan Ning Army ranks first in Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng is purely Yelang's arrogant existence. His rogue army should be comparable to Zuo Liangyu's bandit army in combat effectiveness, not as good as Guan Ning's army, and even worse than Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other traitors.

Therefore, Li Zicheng's rogue army was in the strongest state. Under the morale of Ruhong who had just won a big victory and captured the capital of Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, it was defeated by the Guan Ning army and the Qing army, who were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and were defeated for thousands of miles. .

Moreover, after they suffered a devastating blow, they couldn't even make a decent counterattack. The Xiaoqiang-level intruder, who Da Ming couldn't kill no matter what, unexpectedly died for no reason.

Li Zicheng was born to harm the Han people. Daming, who fought with Jiannu to death, was harmed by him. When he was required to face the Qing army, this guy was actually smashed in the head by a farmer with a hoe.

This is not a gangster, because this guy does not recognize himself as a Han at all. He agrees with Han civilization, even if he has a high nose and deep eyes, he can be regarded as a Han nationality. If he does not have a sense of identity, he is a barbarian.

The wretched-looking intruder recognized Li Jiqian, the unbeatable Xia Taizu, as his ancestor, so he was naturally a member of the party. In the future, the "Red Banner Army" would treat this thief like a slave.

Knowing the trend of historical development, if Huang Han met Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other traitors, he would definitely catch them and send them to the court.

The Ming Dynasty continued the national policy of advocating literature and restraining martial arts in the Song Dynasty, but it was no longer feasible at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and military officials gradually became speaking by strength.

No one would dare to offend a commander-in-chief with soldiers in his hands. He lost a battle, robbed the people, even if he lost the civil servants who supervised the division and the eunuchs who supervised the army. Pinch your nose and give rewards and food.

It's no wonder that Chongzhen in history had no choice but to take his ancestor's longevity. Not only did he have to spend a lot of Liao's salary to support him, but he also repeatedly added officials to him.

Zu Dashou also had enough benefits from Daming. He had spent his whole life in Liaodong and knew the organizational structure and economic status of Jiannu well. He would not be so stupid as to surrender to those slave owners.

In Zu Dashou's eyes, there are tens of hundreds of princes and princes who have only tens of thousands of slaves. They have no military salary at all, and it is impossible for them to pay military salary. They all rely on themselves to rob.

Zu Dashou guarded Jinzhou, controlled Ningyuan, and influenced Shanhaiguan. The food and salaries handed over to him every year amounted to one million taels. How could it be possible for Jiannu to give so many benefits? Therefore, unless he surrendered or died, Zu Dashou absolutely refused to be willing to be humble and follow Build slaves.

Facts have proved that this is also the case. In history, after Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the ancestors' family went into decline. Zu Dashou was one of the top generals in the Ming Dynasty, and stood aside in the Qing Dynasty with his tail between his legs.

It can be seen from this that Zu Dashou is really a generation of heroes, and he is very accurate in judging the situation. It is extremely correct not to surrender and build slaves unless he is desperate.

The emperor was discussing matters on the platform, and more than a dozen important officials of the court expressed their opinions. These people were the six ministers and several Wenyuan Pavilion scholars. side.

The drama scene in Dalinghe City was widely spread by the imperial court. This is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty Hall, and there are no secrets.

What's more, Daming knew that there were as many as dozens of people who got away from Zu Dashou, and there were as many as tens of thousands from the Houjin army.

Maybe how Zu Dashou killed Pao Ze and He Kegang played a rogue to deceive Hong, so he fled back to Jinzhou City.

At this time, the important officials of the imperial court are all wary, no one dares to participate in the grand birthday of the ancestors, lose their teachers and kill Zhongliang, and they don't know the morality they usually flaunt, and the integrity they advocate rather than bend?Two standards are evident.

There was one person who stepped forward, he didn't care about whether the Guan Ning army surrendered or not, because Zheng Guochang in history was a hero of the Ming Dynasty who lived forever. The highest ranking incumbent civil servant.

Zheng Guochang had a strong sense of justice and was loyal to Daming. He was full of fighting spirit, and suggested: "Your Majesty, Zu Dashou's crimes are too numerous to record. The veteran knows that it is not appropriate to pursue them at this time. Why doesn't Your Majesty summon Zu Dashou to Beijing to report on his duties and discuss salary?"

Zhou Yanru echoed: "Good! Zu Shaochuan has been promoted to the ranks in recent years. He should have gone to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor. Now is the right time to reward him and call him to Beijing."

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "The cabinet has drafted a decree to confer the title of Grand Tutor to the Shaochuan Crown Prince, so that he will come to Beijing for an audience today."

Xu Guangqi saw that the emperor and the capital were ready to attack Zu Dashou, and suggested: "When Xuanzu Shaochuan entered Beijing, the imperial court should adjust the deployment appropriately. There are [-] white soldiers stationed in Shanhaiguan, so you can rest assured. At this time, you must strengthen the Ningyuan front line. The control can be prepared for any danger.”

Zheng Guochang seconded: "Old Xu Ge's words are true. At this time, the rash faction will take over the defense of Jinzhou, which will definitely scare the snake. The layout of Ningyuan is at the right time."

Wen Tiren said: "The old minister believes that the person who will be the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan must have prestige and strength to turn the tide. The veteran suggests that Dongpinghou be transferred to serve as the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan."

Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant minister, had a different opinion. He said: "The 'Red Banner Army' under the Marquis of Dongping fought fiercely in southern Liaoning for several months, with [-] casualties. Now most of them are newly recruited soldiers. It will take time to form combat effectiveness. How could it be possible to take over Ningyuan while sticking to the front line of Jinzhou?"

Xiong Mingyu, Secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "If there is a 'Red Banner Army' guarding Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan will be solid, but Jinzhou may not be able to hold it, after all, it has been separated from Jiannu several times, and it is really difficult to deploy troops from other border towns. "

Wen Tiren said: "Except for the Guanning Army, the only one who can fight against Dongnu now is the 'Red Banner Army'. At this time, we have to weigh the importance of Jinzhou and Ningyuan."

Hearing this, Zheng Guochang immediately refused to agree, how could he give up lightly after recovering the land for two hundred miles after so much difficulty, besides, this great achievement of restoring the land was built by his son-in-law.
