Mrs. Hong got what she wanted, and Amin and his family were buried alive in that dark yard. From then on, he no longer had to worry about his uncle and brother who always wanted to stab him climbing out the wall, nor did he have to worry about this unconscious man.
No matter how shameless his brother is, he will ask him for meat, let alone have a headache thinking about how to give Amin's son a title that is both affordable and not very beneficial.
It is said that Amin's behavior before his death was really a resounding hero. Not only did he not cry for mercy like other men of the Aixinjueluo family, but he faced death calmly. His only request was to ask the Ming army to let his family grow up.
He was able to have a full meal before his death. This request was fulfilled. The Ming army not only prepared a sumptuous meal for him, but also specially gave him a jug of wine, which was considered the most benevolent and righteous act.
After Amin drank his fill, he jumped into the pit without even looking at his wife and children. The last words he left to the world were, "I finally have enough to eat today."
........
Before taking action to deal with the male banner men in the city, Dayong must first deal with Mang Gurtai. Although this is a bit of burning bridges, there is no other way. Who makes this gangster obsessed with making a comeback?
Originally, Dayong planned to support Mang Gurtai in the confrontation with Hong Tai. To this end, he also planned to hand over all the territory in southern Liaoning to Mang Gurtai and use Dengzhou's ordnance to arm a Manchu Self-Defense Force for him. If necessary,
You can also leave a Jinzhou Army to defend southern Liaoning.
But the greed shown by Turush and Ebilun during the negotiations in Anshan, and the stupidity of Mang Gurtai who had not realized his true situation, made Dayong determined not to keep this person. Of course, the more important reason is
He wanted to tear up the "Anshan Treaty", so Mang Gurtai had to die. Only if he died, no one would accuse Dayong of betrayal.
In fact, choosing a puppet from the Eight Banners dignitaries to control the southern Liaoning region would be beneficial to both the Jinzhou Army and the Ming Dynasty, because with the existence of such a bannerman's puppet regime, the legitimacy of the Hongtai regime would undoubtedly be affected.
In order to prove the legitimacy of his throne, Hong Tai would definitely not allow the existence of this puppet regime. Before solving this puppet regime, he would be unable and impossible to launch any more military operations against the Ming Dynasty.
Time, Ming Dynasty lacked time, and Dayong also lacked time. In a year or two, Dayong believed that he could build the Jinzhou Army stronger and bigger. By then, he would definitely be able to compete with Hong Tai's Eight Banners Army.
In a decisive battle, instead of being like a thief and stabbing the enemy from behind, you have to worry about when the enemy will turn around and whether you can escape at that time.
The idea of supporting a puppet who can hold Hong Tai's hands and feet has been in Dayong's mind since crossing the sea. After occupying Anshan, this plan was still a drawing because Dayong could not find a suitable spokesperson, but the appearance of Mang Gurtai
But it made this plan useful. Whether it was status, prestige, or hatred for Hong Tai, Mang Gurtai was obviously the best leader of this puppet regime.
But the plan was not as fast as the change. Daishan's death angered Dayong, and he changed his mind. He did not need any puppet government, let alone a figure like Hong Tai. He did not want to raise another white-eyed wolf for Ming Dynasty.
Dayong is not Li Chengliang, he knows the terror and danger of these despicable races.
Although the Jinzhou Army is still unable to fight a decisive battle with Hong Tai, Hong Tai cannot pose a fatal threat to the Jinzhou Army. As long as Da Yong does not act stupidly, Hong Tai can only look at the sea and sigh. As for whether anyone can hold Hong Tai's hands and feet, it is possible
It's unnecessary. Compared to the hit-and-run tactic of gathering enough strength to come back again, the risks and investment of supporting a Manchu puppet to confront Hong Tai are too great.
First of all, neither Amin nor Mang Gurtai, nor even the dead Daishan, can be Hongtai's opponent. If the investment in supporting them is too large, they will end up making wedding clothes for others and benefiting Hongtai in vain. Log in now
The state is still in ruins, and I don’t know how much manpower and money will be invested. If the situation in Liaonan is repeated again, no matter how big the property is, I’m afraid it won’t be able to withstand it.
Secondly, Dayong realized that the bannermen were actually untrustworthy. For example, when Mang Gurtai had no choice but to surrender, he still wanted to be equal to the Ming army and used the Ming Dynasty to strengthen himself instead of completely surrendering. Wu Heyin was right, this
He is a man-eating wolf. No matter how hard you guard against him, he will still be a wolf after all.
The nature of a wolf will not change. Once something happens within the Ming Dynasty and the Jinzhou Army, the wolf will bite its owner at any time. Wasn't Nurhachi the most obedient dog in the Ming Dynasty? The bites left the owner with scars.
, finally succeeded in biting the owner to death and transformed from a dog into a human.
Who can guarantee that the court will not cause trouble for Dayong after he returns to Dengzhou? Who can guarantee that Chongzhen will definitely hand over Dengzhou to him as Dayong wishes, just in case the Ministry of War orders Dayong to return to defend Jinzhou.
Dayong didn't want to go to Jinzhou, the place where the Four Battles were fought, an undefendable and impenetrable place. He didn't want to become Zu Dashou, and he didn't want Ming Dynasty to bleed continuously in Jinzhou because of his existence.
Theoretically, Dayong agreed to abandon Jinzhou and shrink the Ningjin defense line, at least to abandon Jinzhou and only protect Ningyuan, so that there would be no danger of being cut off from food routes and trapped in an isolated city.
Da Yongman, a gambler in his previous life, liked to settle accounts. He calculated the accounts and found that the population in the entire Houjin controlled area was about 800,000. This number was confirmed when the Ming army inspected the Houjin household department.
The Han people accounted for more than half of the 800,000 people, about 600,000 in total, while the number of bannermen was only about 200,000. Excluding the Mongolian and Han military flags, the real number of Manchurian bannermen was only between 120,000 and 150,000.
Half of these hundreds of thousands of people are women and children, and there are only less than 60,000 young men and women who can actually fight. And now there are nearly 400,000 Han people in the area controlled by the Ming army, and 40,000 to 50,000 women and children in the Eight Banners, so as long as
If all the Han people in the controlled area were moved to Dengzhou and all the tens of thousands of women and children of the Eight Banners were killed, the population of Houjin would be less than 200,000.
In other words, Hong Tai's expeditionary army to Mongolia will all become single men. There will be no slaves to farm and herd for them, no women to give birth to children for them, and they will also completely lose their logistical supplies and sources of supplies.
How long can an army last without supplies?
If Dayong can really move all the Han people in the control area and kill all the bannermen, then from a book perspective, Houjin will basically be considered subjugated. Unless Hong Taizhen is the son of the plane and can miraculously
Starting from scratch.
Dayong decided to do just that - remove all the Han people and kill all the bannermen.
It's that simple.
........
Before taking action against the banner men in the inner city, Dayong must first deal with Mang Gurtai and his son. Although Mang Gurtai is already a toothless tiger, he still has hundreds of Liaoyang banner soldiers and another thousand
If the Han people, who mostly belong to the blue flag, are not deployed carefully and fight against the trapped beasts, although they cannot change the overall situation, they will inevitably cause some unnecessary casualties to the Jinzhou Army. Therefore, Dayong first sent someone to convey the order to Ebilun.
He led his troops to the Zhenghuang Banner station in Nanguan to prepare to receive the bannermen, and then took his personal guards to the artillery camp in the outer city to explain Mang Gurtai.
After leaving Fengtian Gate, Dayong's expression suddenly changed - there was a sudden strong wind in the sky, and along with the howling wind came heavy goose-feather snow.
