Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1257
For thousands of years, the ethnic groups on the grassland have been in waves one after another, but what they do can be said to have remained the same, that is, herding sheep and robbing.

Before the rise of the Mongols, they herded sheep on the grasslands. After they were driven back to the grasslands, they continued to herd sheep. The entire nation ruled the world for a hundred years, and nothing changed.

What is the purpose of civilization?What is the ultimate goal of social development?
If an ultimate goal is set for the development of human society, each civilization will move towards this goal in different ways.

Every civilization develops and evolves step by step from primitive society to slave society to feudal society.

From the perspective of development, nomadism has undoubtedly remained unchanged, and has not made any contribution to the civilization construction of the entire human race. On the contrary, it continues to stifle the evolution of advanced civilization.

Waves of nomadic peoples have risen one after another, and China also has dynasty changes, and there are many problems.

The social problems in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period were frequent wars and the need for social unification. Qin abolished feudalism, ruled prefectures and counties, and implemented centralized power. This laid down the genes of a unified empire for Chinese civilization, and Qin fulfilled his responsibility.

But Qin soon had a new social problem, that is, how to maintain the long-term stability of the world. The establishment of the Han Dynasty solved this problem, and further improved the Qin system, and found Confucianism, a tool for stability and governance of the world.

Since then, new social problems have arisen. The powerful families controlled resources and the social class solidified, which brought new problems. Established to solve the problem of talent selection.

It can be said that the imperial examination has always been a great pioneering work, which has never been done in other countries in the same period. Until today, the selection of civil servants can be said to have come from the imperial examination. It solved the problem of class mobility.

In the Tang Dynasty, the vassals and towns were separated, and the problem of uncontrollable generals appeared, but this was resolved by the Song Dynasty.

If you look at the history together, you will find that Chinese civilization is really an epic, a relay of dynasties, constantly solving social problems, and improving the system of civilization.

Look at the context of the entire civilization, create a unified centralized state system, get the idea of ​​stabilizing the world, reform the talent selection system, realize the circulation of classes, control the army, and realize the nationalization of the army.

With these points, it is already close to a modern country, and Song has become the dynasty that basically solved internal problems among many dynasties. If there were no strong foreign enemies, Song can be said to have basically solved the problem of reincarnation for hundreds of years.

The dynasties of Chinese dynasties solved the problems encountered in the development of civilization bit by bit, and moved towards a modernized country step by step.

Of course, not all dynasties have contributed to the evolution of Chinese civilization. The Jin Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty can be said to be a historical retrogression. A good leader has not made a breakthrough in the system. Apart from satisfying Sima's selfish desires, there is little progress.

After him, Song Qiliang Chen, it can be said that they were all badly influenced by Sima Daiwei, and they also followed suit, and they were also lackluster, failing to complete the historical task of civilization evolution.On the contrary, the Sinicization of the Northern Wei Dynasty brought a new dawn to Chinese civilization.

In addition, the several dynasty changes during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period did not solve social problems, and the change of dynasty had no historical significance. It was not until the emergence of Song Dynasty that the problem of warriors was solved.

In the past few thousand years, the evolution of Chinese civilization, although there have been twists and turns, has been moving forward step by step. Today, the Ming Dynasty is undergoing changes, and it is already one step closer to the goal of modernization. However, the Mongols are still herding sheep.

Yes, that's right, they are still herding sheep, and then they have nothing to do to rob a wave. What is the meaning of their existence?What is the goal?
Without goals, they are doomed to fall behind the world.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty has evolved to this point. Even Mongolia in its heyday will not be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the defeated soldiers led by Wu Keshan.

The order to withdraw troops was issued by Wu Keshan, but the reason was not because of the disappearance of his son Bier Tahar, but because the Mongolian tribes who pretended to attack the east city suddenly retreated without authorization.

When the Mongols retreated like a tide, Bashan retreated angrily.

In his view, although there is no sign of breaking the city, after all, the Mongolian warriors have already climbed the city wall, and the morale of the army is not exhausted, and they can attack for a while. Did the warriors die in vain?

This is treating the siege as a child's play, and does not take their lives seriously.

Bashan led a group of Mongols and walked back quickly, ready to question Wu Keshan.

As soon as the group reached the central army, they saw that Wu Keshan was getting angry again. He was mentioning Taiji from the Karaqin tribe, and asked angrily, "Who told you to retreat without permission! I will kill you!"

The attack from the north was already difficult. Once the feint attack on the east city was withdrawn, the Ming army on the city would be able to support the north city, and it would be basically useless to break the city.

Furthermore, Wu Keshan was a little worried when he found out that his son was missing, so he ordered to withdraw from the army.

Seeing Wu Keshan's fury, Taiji Wuhe of the Karaqin Tribe was also a little scared, and hurriedly said, "Khan, someone from the tribe reported to me that they found a scout from the Ming army outside the southern city. I thought it was the Ming army. North Korean reinforcements have arrived, so they retreated hastily!"

Hearing what he said, Wu Keshan was stunned for a moment, and even Bashan, who looked angry, was also stunned.

Everyone was shocked by the news, and suddenly Wu Keshan brought up Wuhe again in disbelief, and said with a ferocious face: "Don't talk nonsense, the snow hasn't melted, the road is blocked, how can the Ming army's reinforcements come over!"

"How dare I make up such an important matter. If the Khan doesn't believe it, he can call the person who found the Ming army's scouts."

The Mongols attacked on three sides, leaving the south side for the Ming army to escape, so there was a group of people in the south of the city to watch, but the gates of the Ming army were closed tightly.

Wu Keshan still didn't believe it, but Ba Shan believed it a little bit. He said in a deep voice, "Khan, what Wuhetaiji said may be true. Maybe the Ming army did not go through the Liaoxi Corridor, but came across the sea by boat. In the Ming Dynasty If Xie Qian's 3 people can be transported to North Korea, it is not impossible to transport the army to the mouth of the Liaohe River, and then follow the frozen river to the north!"

The outside of the customs was covered by heavy snow, the roads were impassable, there was no supply along the way, and even firewood was hard to find. The Mongols did not dare to take the Liaoxi Corridor, and the Ming army certainly could not, but the sea route is really possible. There are precedents for [-] troops to go to North Korea.

When the surrounding Mongolians heard this, they panicked and exclaimed, "What should we do? Is Shenyang still fighting? Let's retreat!"

Wu Keshan's face was gloomy, and he slowly let go of Wuhe, but at this moment, he found that Bil Tahar did not appear.

This made his heart tighten, and he couldn't help remembering that he hadn't seen Bil Tahar since he climbed to the top of the city just now, so he couldn't help shouting suddenly: "Where is my son?"

Bashan commanded his troops and didn't notice what was going on in Horqin, but a commander of Horqin suddenly said sadly, "Khan, Bier Tahar was killed by the Ming army, and his body was left behind." to the top of the city."

Hearing the words, Wu Keshan felt a sharp pain in his heart, his vision went dark, and he fell down suddenly.

A bloody siege battle ended, and the Mongols dropped more than 2000 corpses. When the soldiers of the Ming army were busy clearing the city wall, Xie Qian also learned that the Mongols in Dongcheng had withdrawn first.

At this time, Zhang Jiayu came to his side and said in a low voice: "Today's siege Mongols are anticlimactic, which is a bit strange."

Xie Qian also felt a little strange, but smiled slightly, "No matter what, after the failure of this attack, the Mongols want to prepare equipment and attack again, and it will take a few days, but now it is February, I think they will lose .”

The Mongols outside the city retreated back to the camp, but the city was not captured, but the third son of Da Khan was killed. Not to mention that Da Khan was stunned by anger, and the news of the arrival of Ming army reinforcements made all the ministries restless, which can be said to be a leak in the house. But it rained all night.

Bashan lost another 1000 people today. This time he followed Wu Keshan to fight Shenyang, but he didn't get any benefits. Instead, he lost more than 2000 warriors, which made him very sad.

Now that the city cannot be defeated, and the reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived again, the whole plan to attack Shenyang has failed. Bashan is extremely annoyed. Go to the Jin Kingdom to avoid being retaliated by the Ming army.

At this time, he found a commander and told him to tell the tribe to clean up. When Wu Keshan woke up, he advised him to evacuate together.The city could not be conquered, and when the Ming army came to reinforce them, they were just waiting to die.

Nomads run away if they can't win, and they can live long if they can bend and stretch.

At this time, he was packing his things in the tent, when a centurion from Horqin came outside the tent and reported, "Bashantaiji, the Great Khan welcomes you!"

"Did Khan wake up?" Bashan asked casually, and then went out of the big tent to Wu Keshan's sweat tent.

The leaders of the various tribes in the king's tent had arrived first, and everyone was discussing in whispers. Bashan walked into the tent and sat next to Wuhetaiji. Continue to attack the city!"

Bashan was stunned when he heard this. What's the point of ambushing the reinforcements of the Ming army at this time? Even if the ambush was successful, Shenyang would not be defeated. After discovering them, how could they be ambushed? I am afraid that if the ambush fails, they will be flanked by reinforcements and the Ming army in the city.

Bashan couldn't help looking up at Wu Keshan, seeing him sitting on the upper seat without saying a word, his face gloomy like water, he guessed that he lost his mind due to a series of blows.

At this time, Wu Keshan really proposed to ambush the Ming army on both sides of the Hun River. Several tribal leaders objected, but he didn't listen at all. No more advice.

That night, Bashan and Wuhe led the clansmen, left the camp at the same time, and headed north. Seeing this, several other tribes also withdrew one after another. When Wu Keshan got the news, there were only less than [-] people left in the city of Shenyang. Five thousand Horqin people, seeing the dawn of the day, Wu Keshan could only hold grudges, and withdrew to the north...
