The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 625: Battle of Bitijingan

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che was too lazy to even get angry.

"here we go again."

"Unclear rewards and punishments are the root of evil."

"You're not without money..."

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to talk about it."

Liu Che felt that he was one of the more capable people in the 400 years of the Han Dynasty.

I didn’t expect that the emperors of later generations would always be able to “excel their teachers” and then continue to “excel their teachers”.

As to whether the withholding of reward money was the voluntary action of the front-line generals or the intentional act of Emperor Wanli, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the trust is already shaky, so it doesn't matter if it's kicked again or twice.

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan suddenly felt that he, as the founding emperor, was not bad.

“Although it is not as good as the best, it is more than enough compared to the worst.”

Looking at the confused looks on his two sons' faces.

Li Yuan raised his head slightly and said proudly:
"Although I like to do business without any capital, I basically do what I say!"

"At least when it comes to rewards and punishments for employing troops, I will not deduct the reward money!"

The two sons were speechless for a while.

But they all agree with their own Aye's point of view.

Li Shimin thought of Chen Ping's bribery of Yan Shi and sighed:
“Great things are accomplished by people, not by money.”

"To be stingy with money and ruin others is unwise."

……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng was convinced.

"Da Ming... is amazing."

The soldiers risked their lives, and in the end they were sent away with just a few taels of silver.

Liu E held her chin up to her head and looked at the sky, saying quietly:

"I remember that one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty could be exchanged for about three dan of rice, right?"

Zhao Heng smiled and put the wine glass on the table.

"Yes, nearly ten dan of rice."

"Enough to feed a family of four for three months."

"But this happened during the Chenghua and Hongzhi periods."

Zhao Heng sneered:
"But now is the Wanli period."

"During the Longqing period, a large amount of silver poured in, and it was still unknown whether one ounce of silver could buy three dan of rice."

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang held his forehead and closed his eyes.

"Riddled with holes..."

The Ming ship is now full of holes and water is leaking in from everywhere.

He no longer expected Wanli to fill the hole.

He was thankful that there was no more hole!

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Qianlong opened his fan and waved it.

Shaking and laughing.

"Hey! We're just getting started!"

……

[On the 1593th day of the first lunar month in the st year of the Wanli reign (), because the Ming army had captured two cities in succession, Li Rusong began to underestimate the enemy.]

【At that time, someone reported that the Japanese army was about to abandon Wangjing and flee. 】

[After hearing this, Li Rusong led his family servants and more than 3,000 elite soldiers to launch a surprise attack in order to capture Wangjing in one fell swoop.]

[But when they arrived at Bitegwan, 30 miles from Wangjing, they were suddenly surrounded by the Japanese army.]

[At that time, the Japanese soldiers surrounded 30,000 people and attacked fiercely. The Ming army soldiers fought desperately to break through, and the fierce battle lasted for two hours.]

[After the Ming soldiers ran out of bows and arrows, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers.] [Li Rusong was surrounded, and Li Yousheng, a deputy general, blocked the attack with his body and killed several Japanese soldiers. In the end, he was hacked to death by the Japanese soldiers because he was outnumbered.]

[At this time, Li Rusong's trusted general Yang Yuan arrived with reinforcements and defeated the Japanese army. In this battle, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry suffered 1,000 casualties, and the Japanese army suffered 8,000 casualties.]

【Li Rusong retreated to Kaesong. 】

……

{Li Rusong's habit of fighting alone in deep territory is not a good thing to be honest. It is too easy to fail.}
{Li Rusong did not make a rash advance to Bitegwan. He just asked Cha Dashou to investigate the enemy situation. He did not expect that they would be entangled with the Japanese army, and then he went to rescue them.}
{They are all cavalry. If they run, can the Japanese catch up with them?}

{At the beginning, the Ming army had the advantage in numbers, but the Japanese army kept increasing in numbers, and by the time the Ming army realized what was happening, it was too late to retreat.}
{That's just reckless, right? Just lead more people there.}
{This is just an exploratory operation, why bring so many people?}
{Why was it too late? The Japanese army was also gradually increasing its troops. They were all cavalry, so why couldn't they escape?}
{It's not that they didn't run, but the area around Bitegwan was full of valleys and paddy fields, and the ground was muddy. The cavalry was surrounded by the Japanese army and couldn't escape at all.}
{They even said that the Japanese army completely surrounded the Ming army...}
{The two armies fought in a long strip of land between two mountains. The Japanese had a large number of troops but they were unable to surround the Ming army due to the terrain. In order to catch up with the Ming army, the Japanese could only climb the mountains on both sides with their legs. Their marching speed was very impressive.}
{There is a deployment map of both sides in the History University Forum. If the map is not drawn correctly, the Japanese army should not have been able to move to a position that could block the retreat of the Ming army from beginning to end.}
{The Ming army encountered almost no resistance when retreating, and historical records mostly depicted the Ming army fighting the pursuing Japanese army rather than the Ming army fighting the blocking Japanese army when breaking out, so the contact line between the two sides was probably always in a U shape.}
{As for the specific course of the battle, this is too difficult to verify, mainly because the descriptions of the witnesses are too brief, and there is no guarantee that they did not have their own agenda.}
{The historical records of China, Japan and North Korea differ in this historical event. Some say it was an encounter battle, while others say it was an ambush by the Japanese side in advance. The records of the forces and casualties of both sides also vary greatly.}
……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian adjusted his beard and said with a smile:

"It all depends on how Li Rusong performs in the Battle of Pyongyang."

"He is indeed a brave warrior who can charge into battle."

"Do you think all people with the last name Li love to have fun?"

Yang Jian counted on his fingers and said to Dugu Jialuo seriously:

"Li Cunxu, Li Siyuan, Li Shimin, Li Rusong."

"Look! They all have the surname Li!"

Dugu Jialuo rolled her eyes at him.

"nerve."

Yang Jian smiled and didn't care.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at the word "Jia Ding".

"Private soldiers?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a heavy face:

"Dad, I'm afraid the border town's military and political affairs have already been out of the control of the imperial court."

"At least this should be the case in Liaodong."

"Three thousand versus thirty thousand, not to mention the casualties ratio."

"They fought for two hours even though they had a way to retreat. They are definitely the elite among the elite."

"The usual cost of money and food for such an elite force is definitely not a small amount."

Zhu Di licked his lips.

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked."

Qi Jiguang guarded Jizhen and the area was peaceful.

What is the final outcome?
He was transferred to the south, then impeached by the censors, dismissed from his post and sent home, where he died of depression.

Having troops and being independent is an example of a feudal lord.

"The Ming Dynasty is in troubled times."

……

[After the Battle of Bitiguan, the Liaodong cavalry began to refuse to fight, and most of the fighting was done by Qi's army. However, the morale of Qi's army was greatly hit because the court was slow to reward them. ]

[The imperial court was also eager to end the war, so after the defeat at Pyeongyang, Shen Weijing's proposal for peace began to gain attention.]

[At the same time, the Japanese army was also willing to negotiate peace because their food supplies were burned by the Ming army and the Korean army, and because they had lost the battle in Pyongyang.]

[After the two sides came into contact, the Japanese army abandoned Seoul on April 18 and retreated to the seaside as agreed.]

【The King of Joseon returns to Seoul.】

[In June, Shen Weijing and Japanese envoy Konishi Fei came to negotiate peace, and Japan demanded tribute.]

[Wanli urged the King of Korea to train his troops to defend himself, while discussing with his ministers whether to pay tribute to Japan.]

[In December of the 1594nd year of the Wanli reign (), the Ming Dynasty and Japan exchanged envoys.]

【The Ming Dynasty conferred upon Toyotomi Hideyoshi the title of King of Japan.】

[Toyotomi Hideyoshi wore Ming Dynasty hats and clothes to welcome Ming Dynasty envoys. 】

【And the Ming army in Korea began to gradually withdraw back to the country. 】

[In October of the 1595rd year of the Wanli reign (), the Qi family army, which had been ordered to return to China, also returned to their base at Shimenzhai.]
