Daming wolf ride

Why doesn't the emperor trust his courtiers?Because the courtiers are so powerful that even the emperor can do nothing to them.

Mang Gurtai heard from his father when he joined Khan's father Nurhachi in his early years that the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was actually very pitiful.In order to maintain the operation of the country without increasing the burden on the peasants, Emperor Wanli decided to levy commercial and mining taxes, but to his surprise, none of his officials carried out his will, and instead received countless memorials against it. Only by sending one's own domestic slaves, the eunuchs in the palace, to collect taxes in various places, and withstand the abuse of those civil officials, can it be considered that the normal operation of the country can be guaranteed, and it can also bear the money and food needed for the three major levies.

Why did the courtiers refuse to implement Wanli's will, and even insulted the emperor's will, just because the object of Wanli's taxation was themselves or the gentry families closely related to them.When the meat was cut on them, they didn't feel pain, and how willing they were to be cut, but they never thought about where their meat came from and where it was parasitic. How can insects live.

As a result, after Wanli's death, Taichang, who succeeded him, had no opinion. Like a puppet, he was firmly controlled by the Donglin party members among the courtiers who were closely related to the big landlords and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. He died after less than a month as the emperor.In this short period of one month, the Donglin Party members who counterattacked and recklessly abolished all the measures that benefited the country and the people before Wanli was alive. All the eunuchs who collected the mining tax were driven back to the capital, and even the frontier army's money and food were cut in half by them.On the contrary, the peasants of Ming Dynasty suffered a great disaster. During Wanli’s reign, the peasants’ burdens were light and their lives were well-off. Under these conditions, food and clothing inevitably fall between abject poverty and the front line of life and death.

The succeeding Emperor Tianqi was young, and in the first two years of his reign, he was always deceived by the court of the so-called "All Zhengying Dynasty". Quarreling with the same party and attacking dissidents, he kept asking him to reduce or exempt the taxes of businessmen and big landlords, but the state affairs went from bad to worse, and the treasury was so empty that not even a mouse could be seen. Only then did he wake up, and in order to save the Ming Dynasty, he resolutely followed his example. Grandpa Wanli also used eunuchs to "compete for profit with the people", especially the trust and trust of Wei Zhongxian. Under Wei's strong attack, the power of the Donglin Party was wiped out from the court, and the court's will could be implemented locally. Execution, the taxes that should be collected will be collected again, and only in this way can the precarious state of Ming Dynasty be brought back.

It was also during the reign of Tianqi that the Jin army’s wars outside the customs were not smooth, and the battles against the Ming Dynasty were defeated many times, and the troops suffered heavy losses. It was not the first time that Mang Gurtai heard his father Khan go to prison there, indicating that the carpenter of the country The emperor is much better than his father, and he is no worse than his grandfather. If he sits as emperor for a few more years, the Eight Banners will probably return and be a savage in Baishan Heishui again.

Fortunately, the carpenter emperor did not live long. After his younger brother Chongzhen ascended the throne, the court of the Ming Dynasty was overturned again. Those Donglin party members who were suppressed and exiled by Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty and Tianqi in the dark entered the court again. The new policy brought about by the Ming Dynasty did not make the country peaceful and the people safe, the army strong and the horse strong, but the treasury continued to run out, the peasants continued to revolt, and the border affairs became more and more urgent. It was also in that year that Mrs. Hong led the Eight Banners army into the pass and killed Ming. The whole country is frightened.

Mang Gurtai hated Mrs. Hong, but he was even more jealous of Mrs. Hong, because Mrs. Hong was indeed talented and foresighted. He could see the biggest weakness of the Ming Kingdom at a glance, that is, the hearts of the Ming people were not united. There will be intrigues, and the officials will not do anything except increase taxes on the peasants. This will make the people in the universe boil with resentment, and the people will rise up one after another. Such a Ming country, what is there to be afraid of!

In order to show the difference between himself and his elder brother, the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty vigorously abolished the eunuchs in the palace since he ascended the throne, and also cut more than half of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the institutions that he could control the courtiers. Apart from the price of vegetables, as the emperor, he no longer knows anything outside the palace. The result of this is that his eyes and ears are blind, his information is not effective, and it is inevitable to be deceived.The eunuchs and guard eunuchs sent by his brother to various places were also ordered to return, and all the vacancies left by these eunuchs were filled by civil officials.Such a move naturally won unanimous praise from the ruling and opposition parties, praising him for his "Yao and Shun style", and after kowtowing, he shouted that Ming ZTE is hopeful. [

Now, this young man who was praised by his courtiers as the king of Ming Zhongxing has also begun to realize his mistakes, and no longer trust his gang of ministers who are the worms of the country. He also wants to learn from his grandfather and brother. Did he reuse his own domestic slaves to perform things for him that his courtiers would never do?

That’s right, those civil servants in the Ming Dynasty are really a bunch of trash, pointing to these people being able to defeat Mrs. Hong is just a dream.The emperor of the Ming Dynasty should have reused someone he trusted long ago. Back then, his elder brother would send eunuchs to supervise the army in every battle. Fight to the death with a sword.On the other hand, those civil servants, with one exception, hid behind and prayed for blessings. How dare they dare to face arrows and artillery fire at the top of the city.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty must have known the capabilities of the civil servants, so he reassigned the eunuchs to supervise the army. Well, that’s right, it’s absolutely true. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not bad. He still knows who is obedient and who is not. A person, who is only thinking about himself, who is thinking about his son.No, the Ming army changed its previous decline and swept Lianzhan Lianjie in southern Liaonan. Isn't that just disproving the capabilities of those civil servants, he is a wise emperor.

Appointing one's cronies to lead the army is the only way to ensure that one's orders are carried out to the greatest extent. Mangurtai's Zhenglan Banner, up to Jiala Ezhen, down to Zhuangda, is guarded by his cronies' servants Now that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent his slaves, eunuchs, and supervisors to fight, Mang Gurtai couldn't think of anything wrong, and he couldn't think of anything wrong.

Dayong was originally worried that Mang Gurtai would not believe it, so he planned to spend a few more words, fabricating the reason that the Emperor Ming was extremely dissatisfied with the war outside the pass, so he personally commanded the battle and other reasons. Although it was reluctant, it sounded like that, but He soon found that there was no need to do anything extra, because Manggurtai believed it.But then Mang Gurtai's request gave Dayong a headache again, and he even asked to see Zhao Quan.

Dayongfa agreed to this request, because the imperial envoy representing the emperor was under house arrest in Shuangdao by him.

After babbling all over the place, Dayong said that Eunuch Zhao was supervised by the Son of Heaven, and that the so-called son of a daughter cannot sit still. He is now sitting in the rear of the town to coordinate the army and rush to Liaoyang, and the top priority of the Ming army is to take Shenyang. It is impossible to meet Mang Gurtai's request, but he still agrees to send Tulushi to the rear to meet Zhao Quan, and Eunuch Zhao will affix the seal of the eunuch of the supervising army to show that Ming attaches great importance to the "Anshan Treaty".As for whether Zhao Quan and Eunuch Zhao will cooperate, that's not what Dayong needs to consider.

This statement is upright and justifiable. Mang Gurtai can only accept it even if he is dissatisfied. Although going to see Eunuch Zhao in person can increase the influence of his return to the Ming Dynasty, he can even use the emperor's servants and the emperor to directly To be honest, it would be even better if this Eunuch Zhao could completely speak from his perspective through bribes.But Shi Dayong is right. The most important thing for the Ming army right now is to win Shenyang, so he can't act too hastily. Adding another Shenyang city outside Liaoyang city will also increase his Mang Gurtai. Toss out the weights.Besides, there is not much time left for the Ming army, but there is not much time left for Mangurtai.If it hadn't been for Mrs. Hong to win Shenyang in the gap of the return journey before it snowed, I'm afraid there would be no such good chance in the future.

At the moment, Mang Gurtai solemnly collected the stamped "Anshan Treaty", and then handed it over to Tulushi, ordering him to prepare a heavy ceremony to meet Zhao Quan, the eunuch of the supervising army.Dayong also kept the treaty, and then directly told Mang Gurtai that he was going to march north to Shenyang tomorrow. Before that, he also asked Mang Gurtai to provide the money, food and supplies needed for the Ming army to go north.

This request was expected by Mang Gurtai, and it was also his obligation, so it was naturally a conditional agreement.Liaoyang City is an important place for north-south transportation. These years, the commercial tax revenue has been extremely considerable. This year, all the money and food transported to Shenyang have not yet been shipped, so the savings are very considerable. There is no problem in allocating part of it to supply the Ming army going north.As for how to arrange the remaining money, food and materials, Dayong didn't ask, and Mang Gurtai naturally wouldn't talk too much.Anyway, the "Anshan Treaty" made it clear that the money and food in Liaoyang City could be disposed of by him, Mang Gurtai. Shi Dayong didn't mention it, and the rest would naturally be his Mang Gurtai's.

Dayong asked Mang Gurtai to immediately enlist the bannermen Qingzhuang from Liaoyang City to go out with the army, and asked Mang Gurtai how many bannermen he could recruit.Mang Gurtai had made statistics with Cui Da and the others beforehand. Except for those bannermen who refused to return to the Ming Dynasty in Liaoyang City, they could recruit a total of 1600 bannermen. They are armored soldiers conscripted temporarily.

In order to reduce the unnecessary losses of his subordinates, Manggurtai proposed that the Ming army provide 1000 pieces of cotton armor. After thinking about it for a while, Dayong agreed to this request, but only agreed to give 500 pieces of cotton armor. The reason was that the army’s supplies were still in Anshan. The army can't produce so many cotton armor at once.As for the horses, you don't need to worry about them bravely. There are still a lot of horses in Liaoyang City. These brave people are all in mind, and they plan to expand the cavalry again after returning to the division.

Shi Dayong was able to give him 500 pieces of cotton armor, which is very good. Although the Eight Banners have lived a good life in the past few years, there is a shortage of cotton armor. In the past, each banner had to send people to collect them on the battlefield after each war. The armor on the body, no matter the enemy or us, shows how important the cotton armor is to the Jin army. Even now, there are many unarmored bannermen in each banner to fight with the army. It is second only to the existence of the main soldiers of the flags and the banners of the flags.

Mang Gurtai is not an ignorant person. Now that the two sides are going to cooperate to attack Shenyang, they will naturally not be petty. What happened to the 500 pieces of cotton armor and the Ming army, there is no second word at the moment. Immediately, people went to recruit bannermen, preparing to set off with the Ming army tomorrow.

Mang Gurtai was going to lead his troops to attack Shenyang with the army, so the defense of Liaoyang City was naturally taken over by the Ming army. According to the "Anshan Treaty", Dayong allowed the bannermen in Liaoyang City who were willing to return to the people with Mang Gurtai to move to Liaoyang City. In the south, Daming can temporarily allocate any city in southern Liaoning to Manggurtai for garrison.After Mangurtai had an audience with the Son of Heaven, the imperial court decided where they would be stationed. [

Mang Gurtai’s choice of any city did not surprise Dayong. He chose Jinzhou. Gurtai was still his subordinates, and they all rejected the two cities by coincidence.

Dayong could guess what they were thinking, if they knew that the Ming army would not be able to hold on to Shenyang even if they took Shenyang. The battle with the main force of the Eight Banners was completely a sneak attack war.The Ming army's eagerness to take Shenyang has more political significance than military significance.Mang Gurtai believed that after the Ming army captured Shenyang, they would only burn Shenyang, and then quickly retreat to southern Liaoning. They would never be so stupid as to stay there for a long time.If the Ming army really did this, Hong Tai's main force of the Eight Banners who returned to the division could easily tear them apart. Even if they had Shenyang Fortified City to rely on, they would end up like those who were trapped in Dalinghe City when they were cut off from food roads and reinforcements. Zu Dashou was just as miserable.

The myth of the Eight Banners fielding the enemy has not been broken by any army so far.Last year's Battle of Jinzhou was completely a battle where one's own weaknesses were used to meet one's own strengths, and it did not represent the true combat power of the Eight Banners Army.Mang Gurtai finally escaped from Shenyang with his life, so how could he store his life in a lonely city that was destined to be undefendable.

Mang Gurtai insisted on wanting Jinzhou, and Dayong naturally would not object, so he agreed with a smile, and asked Mang Gurtai to immediately arrange for his troops to move south, while he had to prepare for going north.

Before the expedition, Mang Gurtai proposed that Shi Dayong should kill the white horse to make an oath, and Dayong agreed without hesitation. After the oath, he raised his troops and marched towards Shenyang.Mang Gurtai and his newly recruited 1600 banner soldiers were at the forefront of the army, and the banner they unfurled was also "golden", but the color was the true blue color of his own banner.
