Borrow the day to change the day

()013-12-17

Sun Chengzong heard very clearly that Zhong Jinwei's statement, in a crude way, is that he wants to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway.But this kind of thing is impossible to do.

Sun Chengzong thought of the difficulties of the imperial court. The military expenditure was higher than the previous year, and the tax revenue collected did not increase but decreased due to successive years of famine.In turn, the imperial court was forced to increase taxes. If this continues, the situation of Ming Dynasty is not optimistic.Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong felt very heavy.

He is not a pedantic person either. After thinking for a while, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "The teacher is well-known, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhong Jinwei clapped his hands when he heard it, and said with a smile: "That's right, there are ingots of gold ingots on the ground, but they want to pretend to be noble and not pick them up. We just need to say that they are picked up and given to the owner. There is no justification for that." What!"

After he finished speaking, seeing that Sun Chengzong's face was a little dark, he knew that he was exaggerating, so he changed his words: "In future wars, we have to change in this direction. Fame is useless, and benefits are real. As long as If we search, we can always find a reason for the war and a reason for compensation. At least let Ming fight a war, not based on the loss of its own national power."

Sun Chengzong still had an old face drooping and did not speak.

Zhong Jinwei immediately added: "Of course, no matter what, we are civilized people, so we also pay attention to taking different measures according to different targets. In a friendly country, we don't take the initiative to attack, and we have to help them when they are in trouble. But, for Da Ming has a country with ulterior motives, so they will exhaust their national power and beat them until they no longer dare to have ulterior motives against Daming. Master Sun will not deny this?"

Sun Chengzong nodded when he heard that this was in line with his point of view.

Seeing Sun Chengzong's reaction, Zhong Jinwei went on to say: "So what I said before can be applied to these countries with ulterior motives. It can weaken the enemy's country and strengthen itself. Why not do it."

After listening to what Zhong Jinwei said this time, Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "You have said so much, I actually understand. But the officials in the court may not understand, and the gentry in the field. If they don't want to , No matter how well-known the teacher is, they can find out your mistakes. Unless you can benefit them, they will take the initiative to make up reasons for you."

It turned out that Sun Chengzong understood Zhong Jinwei's meaning after he said the first few paragraphs, but he still wanted to hear Zhong Jinwei's strange talk, so he deliberately asked him to finish his sentence with a sullen face.

The farming country conquers all directions, which is to expand the territory of the emperor. The emperor benefits, the generals benefit, but the officials and gentry who control public opinion and most of the power do not benefit much, and the people at the bottom do not benefit, so they generally oppose it.

In the capitalist period, the state escorted the commercial dumping of the capitalists, and fought in all directions to obtain resources, benefiting both the capitalists and the country. This war was fought for a long time and made a lot of money.

What Zhong Jinwei thought of seeing the cost of forming an army tonight was to change the war concept of the Ming Dynasty people, so that they could all benefit from it and become belligerent, which would be beneficial to the upcoming world war.

In this regard, he obtained initial success from Sun Chengzong, but he knew that it was not unusual to conquer the fortress of Sun Chengzong, because he was much more pragmatic than others.

It is impossible for everyone to benefit from war, at least for a long period of time, it is impossible to benefit everyone, so it is necessary to change the concept of Ming Dynasty people and make them feel that paying compensation after a war is a matter of course. Way to go.

There was nothing to do that night, and the next day began, the Ming army marched for several days, and the soldiers headed straight for the city occupied by Jianjian in Guannei. Among them, Luanzhou, which was the main attack direction of the Ming army, suffered the most pressure.

Luanzhou is actually just a county, slightly larger than Changli, but it is not a strong city like Yongping and Zunhua.However, because it is on the main traffic road between the capital and Shanhaiguan, Jianlu stationed two thousand Jianlu headquarters here, led by Namutai in Zhenghuang Banner.

Since some time ago, the Ming army's activities of not collecting at night have become frequent, which makes Namtai feel a little wrong.Amin, who sent someone to report to Yongping, told him to adopt the passive method of defending the city.

Jianlu's discipline was much better than that of the Ming army, so Namtai did not dare to act privately and stayed in Luanzhou City.

But these days, there are more and more nights outside the city, and they are becoming more and more unscrupulous.This made Namtai more and more restless.Since he started fighting, he has never been so blinded as he is now. He doesn't know the movements of the Ming army and just sits and waits to be beaten.

Zhang Wenxiu, the former acquaintance of Luanzhou in the Ming Dynasty, and Li Jiquan, the defender, have been in panic ever since Huang Taiji withdrew.Because the two of them knew more than Jianlu, and were not as arrogant as Jianlu, they thought that with the 8000 troops in the pass and some surrendered Ming troops, they could withstand the entire force of the Ming state.

Zhang Wenxiu and Li Jiquan were observing the enemy's situation at the top of the city, feeling more and more frightened day by day.They knew that there was no turning back, and they hated that Emperor Chongzhen's pardon was announced a bit late, which caused them to kill their colleagues and surrender to the enemy.

They both knew that the Ming army would come to attack Luanzhou one day, and this day would not be too far away.

Seeing the level of activity of the Ming army, they finally couldn't hold back for a day.

Zhang Wenxiu and Li Jiquan found him at the risk of being punished by Namtai, and said that there were so many activities outside the city that the Ming army had come to attack the city.

Namtai happened to have this idea, and now he heard that Ming's demotion was the same as his own, so he couldn't bear it anymore. On the one hand, he sent people to report to Yongping, reporting their premonition that the Ming army might be about to attack. .On the other hand, he finally sent a large number of scouts, began to drive out the Ming army outside the city, and did not accept them at night, and inquired about the military situation in the direction of the Ming capital.

In any case, Jianlu Tanma is their elite, and their strength is still very strong.When the [-] Jianlu army was in the pass, they didn't feel a sense of crisis, so they were relatively relaxed.And now they also felt the pressure brought by the Ming army, and they all returned to the brave and aggressive who had just entered the pass, so the general Yebushou was not their opponent.

It didn't take much time for Jianlu Tanma to interrogate the general situation of the Ming army from Ye Bushuu who was captured by them, and quickly reported back to Namtai.

Namtai happened to be in the county government to discuss matters, and Zhang Wenxiu and Li Jiquan were also present. Hearing the report of the visit, he was so surprised that he couldn't sit still.

Zhang Wenxiu said to Namutai: "The Ming army came with the red barbarian cannons this time. The artillery in Luanzhou city can't compete with the red barbarian cannons at all. There is no way to defend this city!"

Li Jiquan also echoed what Zhang Wenxiu said, they still understand the power of the Hongyi Cannon.If Luanzhou encountered the Ming army armed with red barbarian cannons and wanted to defend the city, it would be a mantis' arm.

After all, Namtai is a veteran who is used to fighting. He shouted to the two Han dogs: "What is the noise? It's messing up our army's morale. Be careful, I'll take you first, and get out of here."

It was a matter of life, Zhang Wenxiu wanted to say it again, lest the leader of Jianlu not know the power of the Hongyi cannon and implicate them.

Li Jiquan reached out and pulled the clothes on his back, pulling him aside.This Jianlu was originally a barbarian, and he discriminated against them on weekdays. He is now on fire, which has annoyed him. Maybe he will be unlucky before the Ming army attacks.

Seeing the two Han dogs retreating, Namtai calmed down and asked Tanma about the details of the Ming army.

He heard that although the Ming army that came to attack Luanzhou was large in number, it was made up of many local troops. He felt relieved. This battle still needs to be fought. As long as the heavy artillery carried by the Ming army is destroyed, Luanzhou will be able to defend live.

So he ordered the Jianlu headquarters in Luanzhou to assemble and prepare to go out of the city to attack the artillery battalion of the Ming army.

Zhang Wenxiu also heard clearly, seeing that Namtai was going out of the city to take the initiative to attack, he couldn't help it, stopped in front of Namtai and said: "The artillery battalion of the Ming army is guarded by Guanning iron cavalry and the white pole army, it cannot be attacked! "

His idea was just to let Namtai take them to evacuate to Yongping City, and it would be safest to evacuate to the outside of the customs together.

Namutai kicked Zhang Wenxiu down, and shouted: "Our Dajin warriors are one against your Ming army. What happened to Guan Ning's iron cavalry? After fighting outside the pass for so many years, there was one time when we dared to come out and fight our Dajin Army field battles, only you Ming Dynasty will regard Guanning iron cavalry as a treasure. And what kind of white army, if it weren't for the cooperation of the Musketeers trained by Qi Jiguang back then, it would not be my opponent of Dajin."

After Namtai finished speaking, he ignored the two demoted Ming soldiers and walked away.He packed up his troops and left the city, preparing to defeat the artillery camp of the Ming army.
