Ming politicians

() At the beginning of the attack, Su Tiancheng did not consider reporting to the court. He would not have done so before, but this time, after making the decision to attack Lushun, he has been preparing silently, and he is not even very concerned about it. He knew very well that if he submitted such a suggestion, the emperor would definitely have unusual ideas. At least he would feel that he was dissatisfied with the court and dissatisfied with not being able to lead the Liaodong army to fight this time. The most unfavorable thing is , the imperial court is likely to deny the attack from Dengzhou, and proposed to transfer the Jiangning battalion to Liaodong to launch the attack.

Launching an attack from Liaodong was not the first initiative of Su Tiancheng. This was also realized step by step with the improvement of understanding. Shenyang is only [-] miles away from Dalinghe City. As the capital, Huang Taiji must desperately protect it. , Just like the Ming Dynasty protecting the capital, this is a symbol of the dynasty, and no mistakes can occur. Therefore, most of Houjin's elite troops are concentrated around Shenyang, and Houjin's territory is not large. , The speed of mobilizing the army is very fast. Once Shenyang is threatened, the troops from all over will quickly gather towards Shenyang.

Choosing to launch an attack from Dalinghe City will definitely have a good effect. If you cross the Liaohe River and directly threaten Shenyang, it will be a heavy blow to Houjin, but this is just wishful thinking. Both the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners are very powerful. Yes, when necessary, the Mongolian Eight Banners will also send troops to protect Shenyang, which will make the war extremely cruel. Ming must pay a heavy sacrifice and a huge price to win an all-round victory.

From this aspect, Su Tiancheng is unwilling to launch an attack from the direction of Liaodong.

After being stationed in Dengzhou.Su Tiancheng finally found out that Hou Jinyin moved his capital to Shenyang.The defense in Lushun area was very empty, especially after occupying Phi Island and destroying Mao Wenlong's army, he thought that the rear was safe, so he boldly launched many attacks, and this area became Hou Jin's weakness.

Being able to attack from two directions, the combat effect will definitely be much better. Therefore, when Zhu Youjian and Chen Xinjia were preparing to launch an attack in Liaodong.Su Tiancheng made it clear that the attack from Lushun would directly threaten Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and other places. Once the Jiangning camp occupied Haizhou, the threat to Houjin and Huang Taiji would be huge, and the blow would be devastating.At that time, Huang Taiji may need to consider the issue of moving the capital.In the future, Jin's strength will not be enough to fight against the Jiangning battalion and the frontier army from the two directions of Liaodong and Haizhou.Mango Live Network w w.mgzhibo .co

Because of the influence of a certain cultural thought.The Ming Dynasty didn't like expansion, let alone launch large-scale wars of aggression. The court regarded humility and reserve as a virtue. This kind of thinking was carried on by scholars, which caused the weakness of the army.What the common people pursue in their bones is stability. The Ming Dynasty would not take the initiative to launch a war except under special circumstances. Su Tiancheng has tried his best after traveling through so many years.to change this notion.

With sufficient strength, you do not dominate.People will not be afraid of you, and think that you are not so great. In this world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong. This is the law of historical development. The so-called peaceful coexistence is because your strength is not enough, so you put forward this idea. Once you When your power is strong, you have to take responsibility. Although people complain, they still have to listen to you obediently.

Before the time travel, Su Tiancheng was a civil servant, and he knew in his bones that he was inclined to maintain a unified leadership. Therefore, everything Su Tiancheng did was based on maintaining the overall situation of the imperial court. He never thought about building his own strength, let alone He had the idea of ​​rebellion, but because of this kind of thinking, Su Tiancheng was constrained everywhere. Even so, Su Tiancheng still tried his best to influence the court and the emperor through his own actions, and in a short period of time, Su Tiancheng did not intend to Change your perception.

Let’s just say that this attack on Lushun, if it is reported to the imperial court, it may cause a lot of controversy. Even if there is a problem with the Liaodong attack, he will be blamed. But if you don’t take action, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is easily lost. , What a pity, after much deliberation, Su Tiancheng decided to act.

The effect of the action was very good. The Jiangning Camp quickly occupied all the territory south of Yongning and Xuancheng. You must know that some places were not occupied by Ming Dynasty during the Tianqi Years, but belonged to places where Da Ming fought with Houjin. Thanks to Huang Taiji mobilizing a large number of troops and investing them in the conquest of Liaodong, it is impossible to mobilize other troops to strengthen the defense of this area. This move by Su Tiancheng can be said to be a sharp knife, inserted into Huang Taiji's On the navel.

After occupying Yongning, Su Tiancheng felt that he had to report to the imperial court, and there was no delay. No matter what the battle situation in Liaodong was, Huang Taiji would know about it soon. , Xuanzhou and other places, major changes have taken place.

The most important result of the Jiangning Battalion was the complete annihilation of the Houjin Navy. Fifteen thousand naval Tartars, almost none escaped, dispatched [-] troops, and only wiped out [-] Tartars. For Tian Cheng's purpose, it's a pity that in other places, there are almost no post-gold tartars, and the Jiangning battalion has occupied the city very smoothly.

Su Tiancheng wrote the memorial in detail.

After serious thinking, he found that this memorial is very important. It is impossible for Zhu Youjian to be completely happy, so he still needs to find a reason to make Zhu Youjian happy. An attack is regarded as Zhu Youjian's decision, at least it is the action he learned from Zhu Youjian's words.

In the memorial, Su Tiancheng explained his thoughts in detail, and attributed the origin of the attack to the time when he went to the capital to report on the defense of Liaodong. In the process, I realized that the Jiangning battalion had to attack Lushun and other places to recover the lost ground. The reason why I didn't report it to the court immediately was because the war in Liaodong was tense, so I was embarrassed to disturb the emperor, lest the emperor worry about it. The battle went smoothly, so I reported it The court is gone.

This reason is a bit far-fetched, but Su Tiancheng couldn't find a good reason.

The memorial was sent to the capital as quickly as possible.

But no matter how fast it is, there is always a sea route to go, and the land route is impassable.

Su Tiancheng's memorial was sent directly to the capital in the form of secret memorial, and directly into Zhu Youjian's hands.

At this time, Su Tiancheng didn't know that the emperor's imperial decree also arrived in Dengzhou, requesting to mobilize the Jiangning battalion to rush to Liaodong to maintain the situation in Liaodong.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Youjian was listless, watching Su Tiancheng's memorial.

But a few minutes later, Zhu Youjian jumped up.

"Hurry up, hurry up and announce the audience of the cabinet ministers, and Lu Shanji from the Ministry of War, hurry up."

The eunuch had never seen Zhu Youjian so excited, trotting outside in a hurry.

Soon, the eunuch came back. It turned out that Yang Sichang brought the cabinet ministers, including Lu Shanji and others, to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As soon as he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yang Sichang spoke.

"The emperor is overjoyed. All the Hou Jin Tartars have evacuated and returned to Montenegro. This is due to the emperor's contribution to the Beijing camp. The Hou Jin Tartars were unable to capture Shanhaiguan, so they retreated..."

Before Yang Sichang finished speaking, Zhu Youjian spoke.

"Wait a minute, the Houjin Tatars are quite knowledgeable. If they don't withdraw from Liaodong, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep Shenyang."

Yang Sichang and the others were stunned, not knowing what was going on, Zhu Youjian handed Su Tiancheng's secret booklet to Wang Chengen who was beside him, and Wang Chengen took the secret booklet and handed it to Yang Sichang.

Holding the secret booklet, Yang Sichang felt a little panicked, it was a booklet that only the emperor could read, but the emperor asked Wang Chengen to hand it over, so he still had to read it seriously.

A few minutes later, Yang Sichang's body began to tremble, and he knelt down holding the secret fold.

"Your majesty is wise, but I cannot comprehend it. I am here to congratulate the emperor. Mango Live Network w w.mgzhibo .co"

Zhu Youjian stood up and laughed.

The rest of the cabinet ministers, Lu Shanji and others didn't know what was going on, which was very strange, but when Yang Sichang knelt down, they knelt down too.

"Dear dears, get up. Since the situation is like this, you should discuss it carefully. During this time, I am exhausted and want to take a rest. By the way, I can mobilize 3 people from the Beijing camp to return to the capital. Soldiers, you can also go back, there is no need for martial law in the capital, and withdrew, during this time, the people are also terrified."

The secret book was circulated in the hands of everyone, and everyone was the same. They did not expect that the emperor would have such an arrangement with Su Tiancheng. It turned out that Liaodong and Lushun launched attacks at the same time, and the main forces of the later Jin Tartars were all in Liaodong. , leading to the complete annihilation of [-] naval divisions, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion, occupied a large number of places, and was preparing to attack Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and other places.

The map has already been laid.

Yang Sichang looked at the map and spoke.

"Dengzhou's attack has completely changed the situation. The Jin Tartars are caught in a dilemma. They dare not stay in Liaodong, and must go back. If they continue to attack in Liaodong, Master Su can go straight to Huanglong and take Shenyang. You see, the Jiangning camp occupies Lushun, Jinzhou, Wanghai, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan, Xuanzhou and other places. I, Ming Dynasty, can attack Jinzhou from two directions. The Tartars are attacking."

Everyone felt that they couldn't understand. The memorial from Liaodong came, and the later Jin Tartars all withdrew. No matter how they analyzed it, they couldn't figure out the reason. They didn't know why the Later Jin Tartars withdrew. Ordinarily, Huang Taiji would not give up on the opportunity. Yang Sichang didn't know what to say. He could only say that it was because of the increase in troops at Shanhaiguan, which made the Houjin Tartars retreat. Who knows the real reason is because of Yongning, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou and other places fell, and Houjin's rear area encountered a serious threat, forcing Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops immediately and deploy defenses in Yaozhou, Gaizhou, and Haizhou. . . )
