I am one year older than Chongzhen

Liu Yulie was very eloquent. He told the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty how Huang Yi, who came from a barbarian land, was unreasonable.

Not only did they refuse to kneel down and worship him as the governor, they even refused to meet him.

However, he understood the righteousness well and tolerated humiliation in order to accomplish the important task of counterinsurgency.

Without hesitation, Jian Cong rushed to a deputy general's account and asked him to meet him.

Most civil servants were furious when they heard this.

The Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 200 years, and has always controlled military affairs with civility. It is intolerable for a mere deputy general to be so arrogant!

The emperor already knew that Huang Yi was not good at etiquette, but he didn't know that there was such a detail, and he was stunned!

Then Liu Yulie changed the topic and talked about how he put aside his pride as a scholar-bureaucrat for the sake of state affairs and had a happy chat with a warrior.

From understanding each other, we began to cooperate with each other, and finally reversed the situation on the Denglai battlefield.

The generals were united and their morale was greatly boosted. The Ming army changed from defeat after defeat to victory in repeated battles.

Finally, Liu Yulie asserted that Huang Yi was a unique general and his ability was comparable to Qi Shaobao.

Because Huang Yi did not read the books of sages and grew up in the Ming Dynasty, he did not understand etiquette and could not get along with officials. He was destined to be a lonely minister in the future.

Liu Yulie is a mature man, so he doesn't know that the emperor hates factionalism and likes lonely ministers the most, so he picks and chooses what the emperor likes to hear.

Sure enough, after listening to Liu Yulie's analysis, the emperor wanted to reuse Huang Yi even more.

There are different voices!

Huang Daozhou was the first to impeach Huang Yi, saying that if you don't read the books of sages, you will be unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and unjust...

Liu Zongzhou went out to echo this, and he really said that he should be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains.

Huang Kezuan, Jiang Yueguang, Wen Zhenmeng, Chen Renxi, Luo Yuyi and other civil officials did not impeach Huang Yi, but pointed the finger at Liu Yulie.

They talked about how honest people should not be fed by others, and people with lofty ideals should not drink from stolen springs. They said that Liu Yulie was the governor, so how could he abandon etiquette regardless of propriety?

Once this precedent is set, if everyone follows suit in the future, where is the dignity of the imperial court? How to handle the superior-subordinate relationship?

Fortunately, senior officials such as Li Changgeng, the Minister of Personnel, Han Rizuan, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of Household Affairs, Hu Yingtai, the Minister of Punishment, etc., must have received generous gifts from Liu Yulie, and they expressed their support and criticized the opponents.

They said that important matters should be ignored, and the court should be informal when employing people. Liu Yulie's resignation was because he put state affairs first and sacrificed himself for the country.

Haven't you seen the results of Denglai's suppression of the rebellion?

As Chongzhen listened, his head started to feel as big as a bucket, and he could only emphasize one sentence.

The court must make rewards and punishments clear. Whether Huang Yi is vulgar and unreasonable is another matter. As long as the merits are real, rewards must be based on merits, and the hearts of the soldiers must not be chilled.

Yes, there is no point in arguing about Huang Yi's character. Let's fight for the promotion of one of our own!

As a result, the courtiers began to discuss merit again. Unfortunately, no matter how they discussed it, Huang Yi's merit was self-evident.

Fortunately, fortunately, many officials were glad that Huang Yi was a military attaché and did not enter the court, so he should not infringe on the collective interests of the scholar-bureaucrats.

With such merit, there is no objection to being promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief and taking the title of Left Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. It is also acceptable to be given the title of Crown Prince Shaobao, and to be given the seal of General Polu?

Isn't this a bit much?

A group of civil servants were in an uproar and started arguing again...

Similar to the Ming Dynasty, the small court of Hou Jin Dynasty was also talking.

That's because the Battle of Daling River lasted seven months longer than in history, resulting in an additional two thousand casualties of real slaves, which damaged the national power of the Later Jin Dynasty and made Huang Taiji's prestige far less than it had been in history.

Therefore, Huang Taiji's planned expedition to Chahar was repeatedly vetoed by Daishan and Mang Gurtai, and he could not keep his promise.

Daishan and Mang Gurtai's analysis was considered reasonable by half of the Eight Banners generals. They also feel that the Mongolians are very poor, fast and difficult to fight!

If Lin Danhan slips away during the expedition to Chahar, I am afraid that I will lose all the rice instead of stealing the chicken!

Huang Taiji insisted on his opinion. He asserted that even if Lin Dan Khan ran away, he could conquer most of the Chahar tribes and at least add hundreds of thousands of Mongolians to the Jin Kingdom and add 20,000 to 30,000 string controllers.

In the end, Huang Taiji persuaded most of the generals with his earnest words.

Huang Taiji sent an order to the Mongolian tribes who had surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty to lead troops to attack the Chahar tribe, and agreed to send troops from Shengjing on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

This time is a full eight months later than in history.

Historical deviations have become even greater.

The original history is that Lin Danhan did not dare to fight and fled all the way across the Yellow River to Dacaotan, Qinghai.

Later, the Jin army pursued them for forty-one days, but they couldn't catch up and had to give up.

At this time, the troops of the Hou Jin Army were exhausted, but they were so bold that they marched straight into Shahe Fort of the Ming Dynasty for extortion in June of the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign.

At that time, Shen Qi, the censor of Youqiandu, the governor of Xuanfu, actually settled the matter and gave the Jin army a lot of food, fodder, gold, silver and cloth.

Shen Qi was also convicted and jailed.

The crime is negotiating money privately! That is, negotiating with the enemy in private.

The Ming Dynasty was the most courageous Han dynasty. It did not make peace, pay tribute, cede land, or make indemnities. The emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country.

If the Manchus were as flexible as the Manchus, willing to cede territory and pay indemnity, and abandon Beijing to escape, the country might not necessarily be destroyed.

It's completely different now. Shahebao belongs to Datong Town. There is deputy general Geng Zhanghua who is eager to make meritorious deeds, and there are thousands of Xuan Da border troops who dare to fight.

Shen Jie had a strong army that he could rely on and a strong backbone, so there was no need to compromise.

The Jiannu whom Huang Yi had been wary of finally killed him on the southern desert prairie, and it was Huang Taiji himself who led the expedition.

Judging from historical experience, the early stage of the military campaign to establish slaves would not reach Xinghe City, 200 miles north of Zhangjiakou.

Later, because he could not catch up with Lin Dan Khan's main force, he went to the Ming Xuanfu defense line to extort money.

With such a large base area, it stands to reason that Houjin should not know anything about it.

Traitor Shanxi merchants such as Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, etc. often trafficked grain, steel and other materials over long distances to Liaodong.

Even if they don't fully know the strength of the base area, they should be able to guess to some extent, and they must have revealed the changes outside Zhangjiakou to Hou Jin.

With Huang Taiji's shrewdness, how could he just ignore it?

So the base will face a large-scale invasion.

If Huang Yi's troops cannot withstand the attacks of Jiannu and Tatars, their future may be lost.

If Jiannu is defeated, the Jin army may never dare to go to Xinghe City again.

The rise of Huang Yi is actually similar to the rise of Jiannu. He cannot afford to lose. As long as he loses a large-scale war, everything will be over.

Closer to home!

When Jian Nu came, the aggressive Huang Taiji ordered all the ministries to march day and night directly to Lin Dan Khan's residence, and must defeat Chahar in one fell swoop.

However, Huang Taiji did not have enough prestige, and the Mongolians who surrendered did not return. Someone rushed to Guihua City to inform Lin Dan Khan.

There is such a thing in history. It should be two Mongolians who secretly ran to report the news to Lin Dan Khan.
