Chapter 862 Evaluation of the War

"The strength of the Eight Banners is really unique in the world. When our Ming Dynasty fought with them, it was natural for us to fail. It was really not unjust." Shen Qirong and Yuan Keli stood on the tall and handsome boat on the coast and watched the thrilling battle. The battle finally gave this evaluation to the enemy and one's own people.

However, Yuan Keli proudly refuted the veteran for Mao Wenlong: "Shuai Shen is overgeneralizing. Look at the Fu Liao Army in Zhennan. During the entire battle, it was really remarkable. The Eight Banners Jiannu encountered It will be extremely difficult for the Liao Army to achieve complete victory."

Shen Yourong deeply agrees with this: "Although Xu Jie took advantage of Liu Xingzuo's opportunity to set up a trap and obtained the key to encircling Zhenghongqi Daishan, no matter how good the plan is, it must rely on If this plan is to be executed by ordinary people, if the people blocking Daishan are ordinary Ming troops, the Ming army will be defeated with this charge."

Yuan Keli nodded in agreement: "I think back then, during the Battle of Saarhu, the Ming Dynasty mobilized the most elite troops in the country, from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, to the Shanshan-Shaanxi border army, and the servant country North Korea and Mongolia, almost all of the Ming Dynasty. It was an elite force with 110,000 soldiers, and it was said to be 470,000, but it turned out that it could not face a mere 20,000 to 30,000 slaves, and was completely wiped out in one battle. This is a pity, a pity."

The Battle of Saarhu was an eternal pain for the Ming Dynasty and for all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. When this battle was mentioned, everyone's hearts became filled with panic.

Shen Yourong was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "Actually, in the battle of Saarhu, we lost not because of the lack of troops, nor because of the enemy's strength, but precisely because of the elite troops we mobilized from all over the country. Will, this is the biggest failure.

These so-called elites from all over the Ming Dynasty all believed that they were the best in the world. They were different and disagreed with each other. You can get in and I can't. Yang Hao was still a scholar. In addition to understanding things like offering sacrifices to heaven, he had no understanding of the war between the two armies. If you don't know anything, you will inevitably give blind orders.

What's even more terrible is that the generals in the army from all over the country are mixed, good and bad. They all have their own personal ambitions and have strong regional concepts. Everyone thinks that I am an official from Shanxi and I am an official from Yunnan and Guizhou. Why should I fight for you in Liaodong? That’s why the general of Shanxi Province fled, and the whole army immediately fell into pieces, trampling on each other and dying far more than were massacred by the enemy. Now in summary, this is the most fundamental reason for defeat."

It is not appropriate to accuse a civil servant in front of a civil servant, but Shen Yourong has his capital and Yuan Keli has his tolerance, so the two get along well.

"The old general is right, so from now on, our Ming Dynasty will never make such a mistake again. Instead, we will spend all our money and food to reorganize our own army in Liaodong." Then he pointed to the smoke-filled battlefield: "Look at it. The current Fu Liao Army has grown from small to large, from scratch, united internally, and focused on facing the enemy externally. How can it not win in this way? As a commander-in-chief, Mao Wenlong did not do it just for himself like other generals. To get promoted and make a fortune, he invested all his hard-earned money, which originally belonged to him, into the bodies, hands, and bowls of the soldiers. With such a commander, the soldiers would of course be willing to die, and this would last forever. If we go down, an invincible iron army will be born from here. I have a hunch that the Liao Army will transform from restraining slaves in the rear to the main force to regain Liaodong in the near future. The hope of Ming Dynasty depends entirely on it. Already."

Shen Yourong deeply agreed with this conclusion: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty and for the sake of our ancestors, we should have the courage to take responsibility." Then he smiled and said to Yuan Keli: "I hope that the old man can secure this position of Denglai. , I will go all out to support Zhennan, and I am getting old and will soon ask for a job."

Yuan Keli was shocked at that time: "The country still needs veteran generals, how can you say such a thing?"

Shen Yourong couldn't help laughing: "I will definitely become an official, but I will come to Dongjiang Town to retire in Baiyi."

Yuan Keli suddenly realized it. He pointed at Shen Yourong and said with a smile, "You are really scheming. Not bad, very good."

What Shen Yourong meant was that Denglai controlled Dongjiang Town's retreat. This position, which was very critical to Dongjiang Town, could never be left to others. Therefore, he firmly demanded that Yuan Keli would die in this position even when he was old. , to stabilize the rear foundation of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town. But he was unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to kill the enemy again to serve the country and help Dongjiang Town. But his qualifications were too old and his rank was too high. Once he came to Dongjiang Town, he would let Mao Wenlong Being tied up will lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble.

And as long as he becomes an official, he will become an aide of Mao Wenlong as a commoner, and that will be a mutually beneficial outcome.

"Then let's make it a deal. I will die in office as governor of Denglai."

Historically, Yuan Keli's premature departure from Denglai was the direct cause of the premature defeat of Ming Dynasty Liaoxi and Mao Wenlong. During Yuan Keli's administration, Mao Wenlong's achievements were very brilliant, and the two men cooperated tacitly, but later he succeeded Yuan Keli's hope of ascending to Fuwu. He was a famous doctor, but he was too good at politics. He had a very bad relationship with Mao Wenlong during his tenure, and the two interfered with each other many times. Wu Zhiwang supported Wei Zhongxian's adopted son Denglai General Yang Guodong, and supported Yang Guodong's annexation of Dongjiang Town. He also deprived Mao Wenlong of his power many times. The military salary amounted to 440,000 taels, which made the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang suffer from hunger and cold. Mao Wenlong demanded an audit, while Wu Zhiwang forced the relevant financial officials to stay. As a result, the two became in conflict, causing the premature decline of Dongjiang Town, and later even impeached each other. Centrifuge the school.

As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. A person with great ability cannot achieve great things without the help of wise men. Today, Yuan Keli expressed his stance, and history began to be rewritten. Yuan Keli finally died of old age and took office, becoming Dongjiang Town and achieving one glory after another. Cornerstone.

"I'm going to write a summary of my official career now."

"I will now let the Lone Minister Party in the capital go up and down to ask the emperor to approve your request."

Shen Yourong laughed heartily: "This world is really interesting. I've heard of people traveling around in order to get promoted and make a fortune, but this is the first time I've heard of people working around in order to become officials. But I like it."

In fact, Shen Yourong sincerely wanted to help Mao Wenlong and didn't want him to ruin it.

Zhang Pan suddenly attacked and killed one battalion leader, and then used forceful means to remove two battalion leaders from their posts. It happened that these three people were all Dongshan miners. As soon as this news came out, Li Guangchun Bo Ran was Anger, scholarly anger, and the kind of things in a scholar's bones burst out, and other camp leaders who were former miners were also filled with resentment.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Dongjiang Town is not monolithic. If it were not for the two elders who are here, no one would dare to touch it. It would have been an uncontrollable ending. Therefore, Shen Yourong wanted to use his senior qualifications , To suppress those factions and party struggles for Mao Wenlong, they must not appear in Dongjiang Town again. This is a cancer that destroys the country and the army.

Just as the two were discussing the future of Dongjiang Town, the battlefield situation changed again. Daishan began to fill the trenches with the bodies of the soldiers who died in the battle. Even the wounded ones were thrown into the trenches without mercy, leaving them alone.

Howling and screaming.

In the eyes of the Han people, the Jurchens are really barbaric and unkind, but in the eyes of those Eight Banners disciples, this is normal. In their rules, there is no difference between battle injuries and battle deaths. In Houjin, who lacks medical treatment and medicine,

, being injured is equivalent to death. Instead of dying in pain, it is better to die happily, so it appears that once the Jurchens are injured, they are not thinking about how to withdraw from the battle, but to fight to the death more crazily in order to gain more

Seize more dividends after the war to exchange for greater benefits for your family or family.

When the trench was being filled, Xu Jie, who was far away on the command tower on the opposite mountain, knew the result, so he immediately ordered the suona trumpeter to blow the suona.

The suona is simply a devilish musical instrument. It can imitate human speech realistically, which is simply a miracle in this era. Therefore, the Fu Liao Army used it to transmit messages and orders, which is comparable to flag language or drum sound.

Conveying orders is much more accurate.
