Yuan Chonghuan was glad in his heart that he was awake in this world.
He started planning early on to build his own armed force. After he left the border alone, he obtained permission to train an army independently. From that time on, he truly took control of an armed force. He
It is easy to enjoy the shade with the big tree in Donglin at your back. Guan Ningjun is developing rapidly.
After Li Chengliang was overthrown, Donglin set his sights on Liaodong and Jizhen. They needed an army that was completely in Donglin's hands. This was a lesson learned from the massacre by Wei Zhongxian because he had no military power. At the same time, it was also a lesson for them
Greedy for money and military expenses.
After all, if this money is to be paid out in advance, there must be someone who spends it. Without Guan Ningjun, how could the Ministry of Household Affairs budget this amount? With an army in its own hands, how would it do the accounting?
Neither is convenient.
The Guan Ning Army developed with the strong support of Dong Lin under the background of Sun Chengzong's high-wall-building policy and Dong Lin's push to raise Liao's wages. Among them, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji's father and son also played a crucial role.
effect.
It's like when a bodyguard encounters a robber. The robber will loudly ask, whose food are you eating?
The head of the bodyguard stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Eat your friend's food."
This is the truth. If there are no thieves, what would we need bodyguards for?
In the same way, without Nurhachi and his son, what would the imperial court do to support Guan Ningjun with millions of taels a year?
Before, Yuan Chonghuan was driven home by Wei Zhongxian, just because Donglin people eat alone. With such a huge benefit, you are not afraid of choking to death. You never showed any sign to our family. You just thought of building a living shrine.
You can fool around with it. What you think is beautiful.
As soon as Wei Zhongxian fell, why did Dong Lin have to bring Yuan Chonghuan back from his hometown in Dongguan? It was because, like Yuan Gongbao, he had a private army that only listened to his orders. He could not survive without him.
And the reason why he can still control this army after leaving the army is very simple. If you want to control the army, there are many conditions. But the most important thing is that you have to have enough money. Whoever pays the soldier's salary depends on
Who you fight for is an eternal truth.
At this time, the crisis was approaching. Yuan Chonghuan was fortunate that he was awake in the world. If he had not had his own team, he would have been able to immediately develop relationships with some people in the eunuch party and develop relationships with the eight major Shanxi merchants. Successfully achieved
The secret passage to Liaodong trade.
One step too late, one step too late.
Having a father and a mother is not as good as having one yourself. He will never pin his future on the support of others.
Liaodong's trade is too rich. The money he received is enough to support Liaodong's most elite cavalry of ten thousand people, and there is still a lot of surplus. As long as the Liaodong cavalry is in hand, he has the final say here.
Even if he resigned and returned home, his family and subordinates are still running this line. Don't forget, the Yuan family is a business family. His brothers, nephews, and nephews are all businessmen.
The Guan Ning cavalry knew from top to bottom who was raising them. It was Governor Yuan, not the court. Didn’t you notice that the court’s military pay had been delayed for more than a year? The cavalry couldn’t afford to keep the horses, so they
Have all the horses been sold?
Even though Yuan Daotai (Ningyuan Bingbeidao) returned to his hometown, the money and rice grains were still sent out. Not a grain of rice or a copper coin was missing from them. Naturally, they knew who to listen to.
If he had not thought of being independent and established this cavalry, he would not have caught the attention of the eight major Shanxi merchants. He would not have had the capital to play both sides between Donglin and the eunuchs.
This was the right move. Later Donglin had no choice but to recommend him as the governor of Jiliao.
Donglin recommended him not because he was a student of Sun Chengzong and had an upright Miaohong background, nor because he, Yuan, was so talented. It was simply because this, the most powerful cavalry in Liaodong, could not be commanded without him.
.
If the cabinet wants to take care of this place, it must use Mr. Yuan.
Yuan Chonghuan was born in a business family and was born with a business mindset. He deeply understood that eggs must not be put in one basket. He could not just rely on Dong Lin, because sooner or later this would cause trouble.
I have to say that his knowledge is outstanding.
The reason why Yuan Datou of later generations betrayed his relatives and suffered a complete defeat was because he relied too much on the Beiyang Army he had built with his own hands.
Excellent political leaders have their own fundamentals, but they will never rely solely on their own fundamentals.
Because everything has two sides.
Although he had started to make plans early, paying more visits to the court and paving the way. But now, the situation took a turn for the worse, and he found that he still couldn't get out. He was still trapped in the crisis and couldn't extricate himself.
This gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.
This time, Qian Longxi secretly sent someone to recruit him to lead troops to the imperial capital. He knew in his heart that the big guys in Donglin were all anxious. Maybe this time, he would suffer.
However, just when he was hesitant, Sun Chengzong issued an order from the Ministry of War to recruit him to go to Jizhou to intercept the Qing army. Qian Longxi's plan was in vain. Because conspiracy cannot resist conspiracy.
If he didn't go, everyone in the world would see clearly.
The army accelerated its march all the way, but it was still moving very slowly. After all, the infantry and grain carts were heavy, and they couldn't move faster even if they wanted to. Yuan Chonghuan was anxious. He thought about it and must rush to Jizhou as soon as possible to arrange it. Otherwise, he would be in a hurry.
As soon as he arrived, the Qing army arrived on the back. It was too late to make any arrangements.
Things will go well if things are slow. If you want to avoid offending all parties and handle this matter so that no one can say anything, you have to rush to Jizhou as soon as possible. If you have time, make full preparations.
"After passing the order, Cheng Benzhi urged the infantry to hurry up. The head of the headquarters personally led the cavalry to take the first step, and the army will meet at Jizhou City." Yuan Chonghuan made up his mind and left first with the cavalry.
Gunpowder smoke is everywhere in Zunhua City. The Eight Banners are attacking the city.
After the defeat of Zhao Lijiao, the Qing army began a new deployment. The Eight Banners were responsible for attacking Zunhua City. The Mongolian army organized each tribe into a separate group and plundered the countryside and fields. The Han banners attacked the Santunying military city.
Huang Taiji was riding on a fat war horse, squinting at the majestic Zunhua City Wall.
"Namutai, the prince-in-law of the Zhenghuang Banner, led his banner to attack the west in the north of the city. Dalha, the prince-in-law of the Xianghuang Banner, led his army to attack the east in the north of the city. Heshuotu, the prince-in-law of the Zhenghong Banner, led his army to attack the north in the west of the city.
Yongshun, with a red flag, led his banner to attack the south in the west of the city. Gu Santai, the prince-in-law with a blue flag, led his banner to attack the west in the south of the city. Zhenglan flag attacked the east in the south of the city. Turge, with a white flag, led his banner
Attack the south of the east of the city. Qake Duli of Zhengbai Banner led his own banner to attack the north of the east of the city."
After he finished issuing the order, he paused and then said: "The Eight Banners Army rested its troops and made ladders and shields. When the siege weapons are complete, they can execute the order and attack Zunhua across the board."
Zunhua is a key node of the Great Wall. Since the city wall was built during the Hongwu period, it has been continuously strengthened as the defensive fulcrum of Ji Town for more than 200 years. Today it is already a strong city.
