The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 656: Five Years of Peace over Liao and Attacking the Enemy's Leader
Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji stroked his beard and looked up at the sky and said:

"When Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, did he ever expect that Yan, which was originally a place of advancement, would become a dangerous place that the emperor would always be worried about."

Li Mi retorted mercilessly:

"Somehow, I just remembered the incident in which the capital was captured six times and the emperor escaped nine times."

Li Longji's hands tightened so much that several strands of his beard were pulled out.

He was furious, but he didn't dare to retort.

I can only sulk alone.

It’s okay, Changyuan is doing this for my own good.

He is like a mirror, constantly reminding me what is wrong...

At this time, Li Longji suddenly had a deep understanding of Emperor Taizong's "Mirror Theory".

……

Great Song.

Zhao Kuangyin felt very upset when he saw this.

He pounded his chest.

The Ming Dynasty had been attacked by the Hu cavalry three times, but it remained standing.

The Song Dynasty's emperor was caught off guard once and his country was destroyed...

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang found joy in the midst of adversity.

"Fortunately, our Ming Dynasty was not taken away during the first siege of Beijing..."

Then I thought of Yu Qian again.

Suddenly, the joy was gone, and only more misery remained.

……

【Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji was the eighth son of Nurhaci. 】

[May of the seventh year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty and the first year of Tiancong in the Later Jin Dynasty (1627)]

[Huang Taiji personally led his troops westward, crossed the Daling River and Xiaoling River, and attacked Jinzhou. ]

【The Ming Dynasty's general Zhao Lujiao defended Jinzhou very well. Huang Taiji was unable to capture Jinzhou.】

[Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan selected 4,000 elite soldiers in Ningyuan and gave them to You Shilu and Zu Dashou, preparing to bypass the Jin army and cut off their food supply. However, Huang Taiji abandoned Jinzhou and went straight to Ningyuan.]

[Yuan Chonghuan went up to the city wall to supervise the battle, set up camp behind the moat below the city wall, and used firearms to fight against the Jin army.]

[At the same time, he ordered Man Gui, You Shilu, Zu Dashou and others to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Jin army in the open space outside the city.]

[The Jin army attacked for seven days, with many casualties. Huang Taiji used the excuse that the weather was too hot and ordered the troops to retreat.]

[When the news reached Beijing, the imperial court celebrated and called the battle "the victory of Ningjin."]

In April of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Emperor Chongzhen promoted Yuan Chonghuan to the position of "Minister of War, concurrently Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief, Superintendent of Ji and Liao, and concurrently Superintendent of Military Affairs in Tianjin, Deng and Lai."

……

On the canopy.

PTZ.

Yuan Chonghuan raised his sleeves and bowed to meet the emperor.

Zhu Youjian looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said straight to the point:

"The Jian tribe has been in chaos for ten years. The territory has been lost and the people of Liao are suffering. I am not talking about empty talk. My dear Yuan, please tell me your strategy to pacify Liao one by one."

"I have little knowledge and limited opinions, but I have prepared a memorial."

Yuan Chonghuan said as he took out the memorial from his sleeve. The eunuch beside him took it and put it neatly on the table.

Zhu Youjian asked as he flipped through the books:
"When do you think we can recover Liaodong?"

Yuan Chonghuan bowed and said:

"Your Majesty has shown me your kindness and has summoned me from a place thousands of miles away. I will do my best to serve you loyally."

"If the emperor can give me the power to act at my own discretion, the foreign invasion can be quelled in five years, and the entire Liao can be recovered!"

Zhu Youjian looked up suddenly!

"Five years?"

"Five years!"

Yuan Chonghuan replied in a decisive tone.

……

On July 14, Yuan Chonghuan and the emperor presented to the Chongzhen Emperor in person the strategy for handling the Liao affairs: "Use the Liao people to guard the Liao land, and use the Liao land to support the Liao people; guarding is the main strategy, fighting is the secondary strategy, and peace is the secondary strategy."

【It is proposed to restore Liaodong within five years. 】

[At the same time, five specific requests were made: support and cooperation in the Ministry of Revenue’s food and salary, the Ministry of Works’ equipment, the Ministry of Personnel’s employment, the Ministry of War’s troop deployment, and the censors’ public opinion, especially in the areas of weapons and food and salary.]

【Emperor Chongzhen agreed to the above request.】

[Yuan Chonghuan, the Minister of War and the Commander-in-Chief of Ji and Liao, rode out of the pass with the imperial sword after receiving the order.]...

{In the fifth year, he pacified Liao and was ambitious.}
{Yuan Chonghuan must have taken this matter seriously and had been planning it for a long time.}
{On April 3rd of the first year of Chongzhen, he was appointed as the Minister of War and the Commander-in-Chief of Ji and Liao. Until July 14th, when he made his report to the emperor, there were ninety-eight days in between, more than three months. What he thought about most was the issue of "recovering Liao."}
{After receiving the summons, Yuan Chonghuan, despite his illness, traveled all the way to present his strategy. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, he arrived in Fucheng and saw the comments of Emperor Chongzhen on his memorial in the official newspaper.}
{Recovering Liao in the fifth year should be his analysis and judgment of the situation at that time.}
{As Yuan Chonghuan later said in his memorial on the execution of Mao Wenlong: "I have been unable to pacify the slaves for five years. I beg the Emperor to execute me as he did Mao Wenlong."}
{As for the fact that the Liaodong recovery plan five years later became a bubble, these empty words and big talk are like a wise man in hindsight drawing inferences from failure.}
{After all, Yuan Chonghuan’s analysis of the other and himself in his memorial at that time was.}
{For me, first, the emperor was wise and intelligent, because he trusted him beyond measure.}
{Second, the cabinet members were Donglin officials, and the seven ministers were also Donglin party members.}
{The third is to appoint himself as the Minister of War and the Commander-in-Chief of Ji and Liao.}
{Then there are the five things that the Ministry of Revenue supplies food and wages, the Ministry of Works supplies equipment, the Ministry of Personnel selects officials, the Ministry of War coordinates battles, and the censors do not make random impeachments.}
{Finally, my own troops had the experience of the two great victories in Ningyuan and Ningjin.}
｛As for the analysis of the Later Jin, first, the old Khan Nurhaci was defeated by his own men.｝
{Second, the Later Jin Dynasty had a series of successive Khan positions, which led to internal instability.}
{Third, Huang Taiji was also defeated by him in Ningjin.}
{Fourth, the Liao people were generally dissatisfied with and resisted the Later Jin.}
……

Cao Wei.

Liu Bei picked up the kettle beside him and added water to Cao Cao's bowl, saying with a smile:

"King Wei, you have the most experience in terms of victory and defeat."

"See if this statement makes sense."

Cao Cao glanced at the big-eared thief.

But he still took the teacup and took a sip.

Then he couldn't help but say:
"If he uses this comparison to conclude that he has pacified Liaoning in five years."

"That only means that there was a reason why he couldn't tie the game in the end."

"Except for the Liao people's self-satisfaction, the rest is a mess!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Bragging about your achievements?"

"If he said that, I wouldn't have to fight in the Battle of Guandu. I could just surrender."

Liu Bei looked at the words in the sky and said decisively:
"But that's probably what he thought."

Cao Cao put down the teacup and said helplessly:
"This man is a fierce general, but it is not enough to supervise a battle in one place."

"Being self-centered will only bring you trouble in the end."

……

[Let’s talk about the other side and look back at the Later Jin. ]

[After the Battle of Ningjin, famine began to occur in the territory of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Huang Taiji changed his foreign policy to peace talks. ]

[In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), Huang Taiji sent Zheng Xin and Ren Daliang to Ningyuan to meet Yuan Chonghuan with his own handwritten letter.]

[Demand that the Ming Dynasty formally place the status of the Khan of the Jin Kingdom above that of other ministers, recognize that the land of Liaodong belongs to the Jin Kingdom, destroy the fortified castles in Liaoxi, and send a huge amount of annual tribute to the Jin Kingdom.]

【There was no political atmosphere for peace talks in the Ming Dynasty at that time. Anyone who talked about peace talks would be doomed.】

[Although Yuan Chonghuan had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of Ji-Liao, he had no right to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji.]

[But for some unknown reason, he still reached a private peace agreement with Huang Taiji as a frontier commander.]

【Yuan Chonghuan counter-demanded that the Jin Kingdom return the occupied Liaodong land and the captured Liaodong people, withdraw the Jin Kingdom’s troops in Korea, and guarantee that they will not invade Korea again in the future.】

[On the fifth day of June, Mao Wenlong, the general of Pidao, was executed for twelve crimes, and then he was given control of Dongjiang.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment.

"Mao Wenlong... the one who cooperated with Yuan Keli?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"Then why did he kill Mao Wenlong? He was a meritorious official."

Empress Xu on the side said faintly:

"Have we not killed enough meritorious officials?"

Zhu Di was choked.

He looked at the sky and probably wouldn't say anything.

So he closed his eyes.

……

"Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Youjian, why did Yuan Chonghuan kill Mao Wenlong?"

"Wouldn't it be good for him to be a stake in Dongjiang to contain the Jurchens?"

……

Ming Dynasty·Chongzhen period
Zhu Youjian scratched his head as he looked at Emperor Yongle's question.

He turned around and looked for the memorial from that year.

After a while, he was staring blankly at the "Memorial to Yuan Chonghuan, the Governor of Ji and Liao".

"No, you can't speak!"

……

[On the tenth day of July, Huang Taiji sent Ren Daliang to Ningyuan again with a letter to reply to Yuan Chonghuan's letter.]

[He first refuted Yuan Chonghuan's suggestion that he should return Liaodong, and then accused Yuan Chonghuan of obstructing his messenger from reaching the capital directly to meet Emperor Chongzhen, which led to repeated wars between Ming and Jin.]

[Then they prepared to attack the Ming Dynasty.]

[On October 1629, , the second year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, the third year of the Tiancong reign of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji, the Khan of the Tiancong reign of the Later Jin Dynasty, led the Eight Banners Army with the Mongolian Kharchin Cavalry as a guide, bypassed the Guanningjin Line defended by Yuan Chonghuan, detoured through the Mongolian region, and raided the vulnerable pass of the Jizhen defense zone of the Ming Great Wall - Xifengkou, breaking through the wall and attacking Beijing.]
