It was probably time for a letter from my uncle, Meng Biao or Wei Zhongxian, but I never expected that it would be Emperor Tianqi who wrote it himself.
Apocalypse’s letter is simple:
Let me first state that I have personally heard from Grandpa Huang. His father told him one after another that Wang Hongyu was a descendant of the founding marquis and a loyal, reliable and ambitious young general who must be reused in the future.
Then he said that in the past six months, the insiders in the palace were complicated and there were no trustworthy ministers outside the palace, so it was really impossible to give Wang Aiqing more support.
Finally, Wang Aiqing said, don’t worry, I will not listen to Yuan Yingtai’s words, and I will carefully analyze the remarks of the court ministers, and will not let the loyal generals and soldiers be suppressed all the time. Under Wang Aiqing’s suggestion, I pursue the achievements of Emperor Chenghua
.
Not bad~
Wang Hongyu was very satisfied that he had read Emperor Tianqi correctly.
The civil servants called him the Carpenter Emperor behind his back, saying that Wei Zhongxian had brought disaster to the country and the people, and that the Ming Dynasty had perished at their hands.
Wang Hongyu doesn't know about other things, but one thing is very clear, that is, whether Zhu Youxiao develops in Chenghua or works hard to become an engineer emperor, this is all feasible. Instead, let the Donglin Party listen to other people's suggestions and change itself
It is impossible to develop towards modern commerce, science and industry.
Who is loyal and who is cheating? Justice and evil are a mess.
What Wang Hongyu needs to be clear about is who can give him resources, who can be used by him, and who can be his help in turning the times around.
Obviously, Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian can do it, but this Donglin Party can’t!
Return to the present moment.
At this time, it had only been 7 days since the battle from Liaoyang.
The defeated troops and refugees in Liaoyang and Shenyang have successfully crossed the Liao River.
The person responsible for responding to the people was certainly not the timid General Li Guangrong of Guangning, nor was it the governor Xue Guoyong who lost confidence after hearing about the loss of Shenyang and Liaoyang, and insisted that the west of the Liaohe River could not be defended.
It was the right councilor Wang Huazhen.
Wang Hongyu looked at this man from across the river and thought that if Zhang Quan could not be kept as the governor, he would eventually become the governor of Liaodong. The ensuing discord in the Jingfu and the defeat of Guangning would be inevitable.
He is a student of Ye Xianggao of the Donglin Party. His ability in recruiting troops is unparalleled, and he has the courage to fight against Nurhachi.
But I am really a layman when it comes to fighting...
In fact, they are very different from Yuan Yingtai. They are both people who have outstanding abilities in a certain aspect, but are really not suitable for fighting.
Because although he did not commit Yuan Yingtai's "fueling tactics", the Ming Dynasty had fewer elites in the field, and its combat power was correspondingly weakened.
Like Yuan Yingtai, he believed in the Mongolian soldiers and easily believed in the Liaodong generals to instigate Han women to rebel, and then the rebels were instigated and sabotaged internally.
Just the same...
This group of civil servants really could not defeat Nurhachi, let alone Huang Taiji.
It must be done by oneself, and to a certain extent, it must be pushed back to the beginning.
But now we really can’t fight.
There are still more than 8,000 elites left before and after the bloody battle of Hunhe River, and half of them still need to recuperate.
The Guangning army only has Liu Qu and Luo Yiguan, who are more capable of fighting with 10,000 troops. The rest of the troops are oily and it would be good if they don't take the lead and run away.
This situation cannot be attacked.
In the past few days, Wang Hongyu not only protected the people and broke up the troops to cross the river, but also personally led people to bury most of the dead soldiers on the banks of the Liao River.
….
The corpses of some generals, including the eldest brother Zhou Dunji, were treated with lime so that the corpses would not rot and be transported back to their hometowns intact.
"My eldest brother's hometown is in Yunyang, so let me guard the coffin and escort him home..."
During these seven days, Jiannu did not pursue him at all, nor did he dare to pursue him.
On the one hand, they were afraid of Wang Hongyu, and on the other hand, reinforcements from Guangning had already appeared in Liaoyang, and Nurhachi did not dare to fight the Ming army again with the Eight Banners losing more than half.
In addition, Zhang Shenwu led people to fight guerrillas and sabotage in Tieling and Kaiyuan areas, plundered the caravans of Houjin and Kormi, and even made a sneak attack on Shenyang Zhou...co
..
The Houjin sentry post on the side.
Nurhaci had to invest tens of thousands of people to protect trade routes and maintain the security of Shenyang, Fengji Fort and other places.

In addition, there were 50,000 Han people and 10,000 Mongolians incorporated into Liaoyang City, and the Eight Banners were needed to reallocate resources.
Therefore, Nurhachi turned from offense to defense.
It won't work if he doesn't defend.
Because the Hou Jin army was already frightened.
Now from Liaochen to Sarhu to Hetuala, the names of the three brothers Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu and Wang Hongyu are like the god of death.
After hearing about Zhou Dunji, every household in the Hou Jin Dynasty wailed in pain.
Hearing Zhang Shenwu, he was so frightened that he dared not speak out, and the child stopped crying.
After hearing Wang Hongyu, everyone gnashed their teeth, could not sleep at night, but felt frightened and discouraged.
In addition to soldiers, Hou Jin suffered huge losses in the army, and also killed a large number of elite middle and high-level officials.
Guarjia Fei Yingdong, Dong E He Heli, Niu Hulu Eyidu, Tongjia Huerhan, and Juercha Anfeiyanggu were all killed by Zhang Shenwu.
Middle-level generals such as Yabahaibuha, Sunzhaqinbayan, Yamubuli, Sirtai, Lange, Dunbu, Dahamu, Bulu, and Wangge were all killed in the battle.
If the Eight Banners are not reorganized and replenished, Houjin will collapse.
This time Nurhaci used all the troops of the eight banners, nearly 30,000 soldiers, and fought several major battles, losing half of his troops and all the soldiers.
After harvesting two big cities, Liaoyang City can be said to have gained the most in the end. Half of the Han people in Liaoyang City were taken into hands. Plus the Han people harvested in Shenyang, it was still not enough for one Han citizen to raise one soldier of the Later Jin Dynasty.
The Mongolian army was also recovered, and half of the Mongolian army harvested in Shenyang was given to Kormi Mongolia as a reward. The remaining 10,000 people were also a considerable force. Nurhachi simply assigned them to various banners for use.
The Mongolian cavalry lacks iron armor and is currently incapable of fighting. If they are allowed to form an army alone, these Mongolian refugees will first defect to the Ming Dynasty and then defect to the Hou Jin Dynasty before the battle. This kind of virtue is like a mother if you have breasts. Maybe when the Hou Jin Dynasty loses
He rebelled.
Nurhachi was not like Yuan Yingtai who suffered from carbuncle. The Mongolian troops could only be treated as semi-slaves when they arrived at each banner, but their treatment was better than that of Bao Yi, and they could also carry the flag after meritorious service.
But Liaoyang has become a pile of ruins. They only snatched less than half of the food and valuables from Liaoyang, many of which were the private property of wealthy households.
These wealthy households will be strong supporters of Houjin in the future. Their food can only be given out voluntarily, and even if it is taken out, it will not be enough to eat.
When the Ming army retreated in Liaoyang City, most of the houses, government offices and all public facilities in the city were burned. Only a small part of the northwest corner of the city remained intact because of the northwest wind blowing at that time.
Now most of it is in ruins. This is the largest city captured by the slaves so far. The wealthy households here are their die-hard supporters, so Liaoyang City must be rebuilt.
We need to win over these big players, but for ordinary people...hehe.
