Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 104

The Great Ming Dynasty started fighting again, this time it was the Eunuch Party who provoked the incident, impeaching Yuan Yingtai on the basis of Liaodong's loss of land, with the intention of implicating the entire Donglin.

There is no way, in the current Ming court, internal fighting is the norm, and it would be strange not to fight!
All officials are used to this kind of life, and even Dong Lin didn't think there was anything wrong with eunuchs seeking to fight them.

It's been decades, isn't it always like this, after you sing, I will appear on stage, and whoever has the ability will control the court.

I'm used to this internal strife, so Donglin's reaction is naturally quite fast.

The eunuch party just threw out the impeachment memorial, and Donglin immediately wrote a defense.

You are thieves calling for a thief. You are the ones who made Xiong Tingbi go away in anger. It is your responsibility to lose thousands of miles in Liaodong. You still bite back and blame us!
As soon as Xiong Tingbi left, the arrogant generals in Liaodong would not listen to Yuan Yingtai. He went up to the city wall to kill the enemy in person, and in the end he died for the country. What do you want?

The eunuch was also unambiguous, and Dang even went back.

What are we going to do?

Isn't Yuan Yingtai the strategy of Liaodong? Didn't Liaodong be lost in his hands? Shouldn't he be responsible for the loss of Liaodong?

Donglin was not ambiguous with him, and he was very aggressive.

You are pretending to be ignorant with your understanding. Xiong Tingbi is doing well in Liaodong. You force him to leave. What happened to Liaodong’s lost land? You know in your heart that you are secretly helping to build slaves. !
Of course, this is indistinct. It seems that everyone has reason and no one has reason. In fact, it is nonsense. The final result is not to see who is reasonable, but who has strength.

Obviously, Dong Lin believed that they were still capable. They thought that Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli were still theirs, so they were not even afraid of the emperor, so how could they be afraid of Wei Zhongxian, a dead eunuch.

It's a pity that Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli have long abandoned them, and their failure is already doomed.

However, considering the situation in Liaodong, Taichang did not make a big move. If this caused chaos in the court, then Nurhachi would win again.

Therefore, he still used the old method, asking Wei Zhongxian to take one bite at a time, one after another, and another one.

In this way, Donglin will not be desperate because of despair, and the court can still maintain normal operation.

However, Wei Zhongxian was a little greedy. After he won the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, he set his greedy eyes on the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

As for the reason, it's very simple. If you don't choose Yuan Yingtai, Zhao Nanxing, the official minister, can he be the governor of Liaodong, can he be the governor of Liaodong, can he lose Liaodong?
Therefore, you, Zhao Nanxing, are responsible for Yuan Yingtai's matter. Liaodong has lost thousands of miles, and you cannot get rid of it!
This reason is barely plausible. Once Taichang pulled back, Zhao Nanxing couldn't bear it anymore, and Wei Zhongxian immediately replaced him with his godson Wang Shaohui.

Although Donglin fought hard with reason, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't let Sun Chengzong lead the army back to "the side of the Qing Dynasty" just because they were ministers of the Ministry of Officials, could they?

Of course, it is impossible for Sun Chengzong to lead his army back at this time, because Liaodong is about to go to war.

When Donglin and the eunuchs in the imperial court were arguing over the loss of land in Liaodong, Sun Chengzong's memorial came.

He was going to lead the army to attack and began to implement the tactics of advancing fortresses, because winter is coming, when Liaodong will be frozen for thousands of miles, and the ground will be as frozen as stones. Another half a year to wait!

This half a year is the consumption of nearly ten million taels of silver, who can afford it?
Taichang had no choice but to approve Sun Chengzong's memorial.

He really couldn't afford to consume the nearly ten million taels of silver, because the land in Huangzhuang would be gone after it was sold out, and he could last for a year at most.

If half a year was wasted like this, he wouldn't be able to bear it!

Many times, many things are so helpless.

Opportunities will not stay there waiting for you, the enemy will not wait until you are ready for everything, and when you feel that you are not ready for everything and do not take any action, what is waiting for you is likely to be failure or even death!

Fortunately, Sun Chengzong's preparations are relatively sufficient, and there are detailed strategic plans in his memorial.

He planned to build the Daling River Fort first, gain a firm foothold in the Daling River Basin, and then gradually advance to the Daliao River.

The middle reaches of the Daling River run through between Jinzhou and Guangning, while its lower reaches extend all the way to the southeast and flow into the Bohai Sea. If a city is built in the lower reaches of the Daling River, the Guanningjin Line of Defense can expand dozens of miles eastward.

Moreover, Guangning, Dalinghebao, and Jinzhou are in a triangular shape, which can be attacked when advancing, and defending when retreating.

There is nothing wrong with Sun Chengzong's strategy. As long as the Dalinghe Fort is successfully built, it will be like a sharp thorn piercing into the area occupied by the Jiannu. , In this way, it gave the Ming army room to continue building cities and fortresses to the east.

At that time, if the Ming army continued to advance with city fortresses, Jiannu would have to continue to shrink eastward.

It can be said that as long as the Dalinghe Fort is successfully built, it will be difficult for Jiannu to hold the area four to five hundred miles west of the Daliaohe River.

Once the area west of the Daliao River is recovered, more than 200 million Liao people will have land to live on, and the imperial court will also be relieved of the burden of several 10 taels a month. In this way, Sun Chengzong can organize more troops to go east advanced.

The situation in Liaodong seems to be developing in a favorable direction, but after Taichang approved Sun Chengzong's memorial, he still frowned, staring at the map of Liaodong with worry.

This is why?

There is nothing wrong with Sun Chengzong's strategy, but at this moment, Sun Chengzong doesn't have enough troops to ensure the successful implementation of the whole strategy!

At this moment, the troops from Shaanxi Dusi and Huguang Dusi have arrived in Liaodong, but the troops from Shaanxi Xingdusi, Sichuan Dusi, Sichuan Xingdusi, and Huguang Xingdusi have not been seen because of the long distance.

In other words, at this moment, Sun Chengzong has less than 15 troops. Can he withstand Jiannu's attack?
You know, the total strength of Liaodong was more than 15 at the time, Shenyang and Liaoyang were still conquered, and the Ming army was also defeated thousands of miles away, so they didn't dare to fight Jiannu at all.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong had only reorganized more than [-] defeated soldiers, and then received more than [-] frontier soldiers from the Shaanxi Capital Division and more than [-] garrison guards from the Huguang Capital Division. Will he be able to withstand Jiannu's attack?
To be honest, Tae-chang doesn't think so.

He didn't doubt Sun Chengzong's ability. The main thing was that the troops in Sun Chengzong's hands were not obviously stronger than those of the Liaodong defenders before. How could they withstand Jiannu's attack?
Perhaps, Sun Chengzong relied on the terrain.

Because the Daling River Fort is right between Jinzhou and Guangning, and it is also on the west bank of the Daling River.

If Jiannu wanted to hinder the construction of the Daling River Fort and enter the city, he had to cross the Daling River, and he had to guard against surprise attacks by troops from Jinzhou City in the south and Guangning City in the north.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War. Nine Lands" has a saying: Those who enter are narrow, those who return are detours, and those who are widowed can attack my crowd are encircled areas.

The location of Dalinghe Fort is a typical enclave. The enclave is a blessed place for the defender because it is easy to defend, but it is a dangerous place for the attacker because it is too easy to be attacked by surprise, and it is also easy to be cut off.

At this moment, Taichang can only hope that Sun Chengzong is as powerful as his ancestor and grandson, who can use the terrain to repel Jiannu and build the Dalinghe Fort.

The Liaodong war is about to start, and the capital, as the rear, naturally cannot continue to fight as if nothing has happened, regardless of the frontline war.

In the early morning of this day, just after the opening ceremony, Taichang got up and looked around majestically, and then said loudly: "I believe everyone knows what Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, has done. The more than [-] soldiers on the front line will fight for the recovery of Liaodong." Fighting, how about you, what can you do? I hope that during this period of time, you will stop fighting among yourself for power and profit, and everyone should think about it and do something for the frontline soldiers."

He could only say so far, and he couldn't guarantee whether Donglin and Eunuch would listen.

To put it bluntly, these people are a bunch of rebellious officials and thieves with different intentions. If they are not cleaned up, the Ming court cannot be twisted into a single rope.

There is no way, this incident in Liaodong was too unfortunate.

If Liaodong can persist for a year or two without accidents, he will be able to clean up these rebellious officials and thieves.

However, it was such an unfortunate coincidence that before he could do anything, Wei Zhongxian was brain-dead, believed Yao Zongwen's nonsense, and drove Xiong Tingbi away in anger, so that the situation in Liaodong was in a precarious situation, so that he couldn't do his best to clean up the situation. Two gangs.

Alas, I hope these two guys can listen to it more or less.

In fact, what he said was still useful, at least, Donglin had listened to it a little bit.

The reason why Donglin listened to it was not that they were really patriotic than the eunuchs. The main reason was that they still believed that Sun Chengzong was one of their own.

Now that their own people are working hard in Liaodong, they will naturally find a way to support them.

After all, as long as Sun Chengzong can win this battle, the chips in their hands will be different.

Do you even need to think about how powerful a master of the supervisor who led an army of more than [-] to defeat Jiannu was?
At that time, even the emperor will have to listen to them!
