Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

The three major expeditions in Wanli, the final glory of the Ming Dynasty, also exhausted the little remaining national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

With the fiasco of the Battle of Sarhu, it also completely marked the decline of the Ming Dynasty!

And the fact is also true, since the Battle of Sarhu, Daming's foreign wars have all been bleak, so that only Daming court can only self-package some so-called great victories as a fig leaf to decorate Daming's final dignity.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Nurhaci's long drive was unstoppable, and it was undoubtedly tore off all the figurines of the Ming Dynasty, and thoroughly displayed this rotten and rotten mountains and rivers in front of the world.

However, with the sudden rise of Li Xiu, outside the capital, Nurhaci was smashed, and the Jin army was like a pair of hands holding the sky.

This credit is also recognized by the world, and no matter how many scholars and officials smear it, it cannot be denied its existence.

And this time, the sudden northern expedition of the army completely shook the whole world as the news spread.

Everyone can see that the rivers and mountains in Daming are declining, but at the moment when the rivers are declining, it is still expending so much manpower and material resources to start such a large-scale war!

Very happy, and go to war!

These nouns were also firmly put on Zhu Youjian's head after the news spread.

But for today's courtiers and officials, how could they not know Li Xiu's leading role in this.

As a result, the so-called names of those like Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo have been added to the name of a traitor who instigated the emperor.

It's just that, under the suppression of Zhu Youjian, who now knows that his lifespan is coming to an end and his actions are becoming more and more tyrannical, everything is not angry, and he can only surging in the dark, cursing Li Xiu to lose a big defeat, it is best to die directly. In the prairie!

But when the iron cavalry swept across Mobei, defeated the five Nekalka tribes, killed the enemy and captured countless good news and arrived in Beijing, whether it was the court or the people, all the undercurrents suddenly stagnated.

Although the scholar-officials have the right to speak in public opinion, for ordinary people, good news is an indelible fact!

From the Fangshan Victory, to the Capital Victory, and now to the Mobei Victory, the glorious victories one after another have also created Li Xiu's undefeated power.

People, the worship of the strong is a gene deeply imprinted in the blood.

People's interest in legendary stories is obviously also human nature.

Today, legends are not stories, not illusions, but indelible realities.

In the countryside, Li Xiu, Marquis of Zhenbei, these five words seem to have once again become the focus of public opinion.

Old and young men in the streets and alleys, if they can't open their mouths to say a few words about the great achievements of the Duke of Zhenbei, they will be embarrassed to go out and brag to others.

But for the courtiers in the court, some people are happy and some people are worried about this great victory!

Joy, of course, is joy in the meaning of this great victory.

After all, if they can be ranked in the court, they are all officials, so how can they not see the strategic plan behind this war.

Today, the victory in the first battle is unstoppable, and it clearly means that the grand strategic plan is also a solid step.

This is just the first step, and it is far stronger than the effect brought by the court's various plans and manipulations in the past!

After all, a plan without the support of a powerful military has always lost a bit of confidence!

As for those who are sad, the reasons are various.

There are those who are worried that the Marquis of Zhenbei will become more powerful, those who are worried about the future, those who are worried about their own interests, and those who are full of hatred, all of which are difficult to count.

However, no matter what, the victory in the first battle also completely suppressed the opposition of the government and the opposition to this war. Coupled with the suppression of Zhu Youjian, the decadent ruling class of Daming was reluctantly twisted into a rope, officially serving as the This one is really starting to kick in.

In fact, the scale of this war can be regarded as a battle of national fortunes!

Jingjun, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, Liaozhen, Dongjiang town, and the Mongolian tribes that came from the vassal.

In this war, the number of troops directly or indirectly involved in this war seems to have reached 200,000!

The scale of this war is as if it did not lose any war of the three major expeditions of Wanli, and even more than that!

Of course, in Li Xiu's strategic plan, only the 30,000 Jingjun iron cavalry he personally led, the 8,000 Jizhen cavalry, and the Mongolian tribes who were attached to him were the only ones who directly participated in the battle.

As for the remaining army, unless there is an opportunity that cannot be missed, or Liaozhen can be used, attack Houjin at all costs, otherwise, the rest of the mobilized army will only serve as a deterrent. No difference.

Of course, no one knew about this except Zhu Youjian, Li Xiu, and several confidants.

Now the ruling and opposition world, and even the Mongolian Houjin, all only know that the Houjin of Zhenbei is to succeed in a battle, fight a battle of national fortune, and completely destroy the Houjin.

Historians will only record that in the second year of Chongzhen, Daming mobilized nearly 200,000 troops, led by the Marquis of Zhenbei, in order to pacify the grasslands and destroy Houjin.

The real strategic plan is destined to be unknown to the world.

But for the soldiers of the Beijing army who participated in this battle, they didn't know any strategic planning. They only knew that prosperity and wealth were just around the corner!

Strict discipline, a fairly smooth promotion channel, coupled with the reward and punishment regulations that will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, are enough to ensure that the soldiers have the courage to fight and kill the enemy.

And one glorious victory after another can also create a high morale!

Such a large army is already enough to suppress the world and sweep the enemies of the world!

After Mobei merged with Lin Danhan, this army of iron cavalry, which had already swelled to more than 100,000 troops, did not stop at all. With the momentum of thunder, it moved towards the goal of this strategic plan, that is, Monan Mongolia marched And go.

Strictly speaking, Monan also includes the steppe Gobi bordering the northern defense system of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, Monan is the later Inner Mongolia.

In fact, Li Xiu swept most of the Mobei this time and came out of Xuanfu. It can be said that he crossed the Monan grassland, went on an expedition to Mobei, and then turned back to Monan!

And the reason for such a risk is naturally because of the existence of Houjin. Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be the enemy.

Of course, Li Xiu naturally couldn't completely hand over his back to the Mongolian ministries in Monan. The Jizhen Iron Cavalry had already left the customs under the leadership of Xu Feng, and joined forces with the Mongolian ministries that belonged to Daming on the border of Jizhen.

Before Li Xiu, the main force, had completely participated in the war, he had already fought against the Monan Mongolian army, involving the main force of the Monan Mongolian coalition forces.

In this way, Li Xiucai was able to calmly cross the Monan grassland, swept away the hidden worries of Mobei, and then brought the momentum of victory to the Monan, and attacked the Monan Mongolian coalition on both sides!

As far as the current situation in Mongolia is concerned, the military and political center of the Mongolian grasslands has long since shifted from Mobei to Monan.

This is also the limitation of nomadic peoples. Although they can conquer and fight well, they have an indispensable dependence on farming peoples.

Of course, the most important thing is that, with the rise of Houjin, Monan Mongolia, sandwiched between Daming and Houjin, has also become an object that both parties need to win over. In this way, in these sweet days, The strength of Monan Mongolia is also rapidly expanding.

And with Nurhaci sending troops, the original name of the Mongolian lord Lin Danhan was driven out of Monan, and Monan Mongolia was also completely turned to Houjin.

In this way, through the infiltration channel of Houjin to Daming, the strength of the various ministries of Monan Mongolia is also rapidly expanding and improving in the smuggling process again and again.

In particular, the Houjin loyal dogs of the Horqin Department who fell to the latter gold early, their strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, although Houjin has not yet sent a support army, the strength of the alliance of the various ministries in Monan is not weak at all.

The sixteen tribes of Monan Mongolia, the grassland people, are all soldiers. At this time of life and death, under the contact of Hou Jin, they quickly pulled out an army of up to 100,000.

Under such a huge disparity in strength, Xu Feng, who was eager to lead the army out of the customs, was also one of the top two. The only good thing was that the battlefield was not far from Ji Town, and there was a stable rear. There are still tens of thousands of troops in Ji Town, and they can provide necessary support at any time.

Under this circumstance, under such a huge disparity in military power, he could entangle the hundreds of thousands of troops in Monan Mongolia and complete the established strategic plan that Li Xiu gave him.

War is like this, one link is linked to another, each link has its own function, and if one link is missing, it will immediately affect the overall situation.

This is also the reason why Li Xiu made such a big battle, but never expected any success in the first battle.

He dared to cross Monan and throw his back to Monan Mongolia. He was confident that Erwazi would strictly implement his military orders and would entangle Monan Mongolia. Most of the power that lives in Monan Mongolia, and the rest of the backstab, he also has spare strength and the ability to easily block it!

but…

Once the scale of the war is completely expanded~www.wuxiaspot.com~ let him detain a part of the war in Liaozhen and the Dongjiang...

He can be sure that Yuan Chonghuan, Liaodong Jiangmen, Mao Wenlong, and Dongjiang soldiers will resolutely carry out his orders at all costs...

This is obviously impossible. If they don't make any moths, they don't hold back. It is estimated that it is the most ideal situation.

In this way, for a war of annihilation, it is fatal.

Li Xiu Tongbing has never had the habit of exposing an uncontrolled Achilles' heel.

This battle is the same.

For Liaozhen and Dongjiang, Li Xiu didn't have high expectations, he just wanted them to play a basic deterrent role.

If this can't be done, he also has a plan to deal with it.

But if that's the case...

Everything is obvious.

At that time, after the fall, it will naturally be indispensable!
