Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 427

Shaking his head, Li Jing smiled and said, "Haoge, have you ever read?"

Hauge was stunned, wondering why Li Jing asked him if he had ever read a book. Seeing Li Jing's kind attitude, Hauge hesitated and said, "I haven't read a book, but I still beat your scholars."

Li Jing nodded slightly: "Then you must have never read Sun Tzu's Art of War. Sun Tzu said: if ten times surround you, if five times you attack, if twice as many you divide. When Cao Wenzhao encircled and wiped out you, he only used two of your troops." times, but can surround and wipe you out, that is the full use of the terrain.

You must be more familiar with the terrain of Liaodong than Cao Wenzhao, and you know that Cao Wenzhao has more troops than you, but you don't know how to guard against it. It can be seen that you only know how to fight recklessly. When you encounter a military strategist like Cao Wenzhao, you can only be defeated. "

Hauge heard this silently. When he led his troops to attack Guangning, Zu Dashou's troops collapsed at the first touch, and then retreated in Guangning, making him think that the Ming army was nothing more than that, so his vigilance was greatly reduced. When Li Dingguo blocked his way back to Shenyang He didn't care about the passage, he thought that with the strength of the Ming army, he only needed to charge and could break through the passage home at any time.

But when Cao Wenzhao's army attacked him, he realized how powerful the Ming army was on the opposite side.Only then did he understand that Zu Dashou's department was feigning defeat, in order to paralyze him, make him feel at ease to attack Guangning, and buy time to surround him.

In fact, when Cao Wenzhao launched the attack, the encirclement circle was not completely closed. If he could decisively lead the elite soldiers to escape with light clothes, he still had a chance to escape. However, when he was hesitating whether to abandon the crowd and flee, Cao Wenzhao had already The gap was plugged.Then Cao Wenzhao compressed step by step, and finally besieged him in Tianshui Town.

What Li Jing said just now is correct. If it is a flat terrain, Cao Wenzhao's troops will not be able to surround him, but Cao Wenzhao ordered Zu Dashou to show the enemy's weakness and let him relax his vigilance. Then he made full use of the terrain, and finally Surround him successfully.

Although Haoge is conceited, he also knows that he is indeed inferior to Cao Wenzhao when it comes to the way of using troops.

If Cao Wenzhao's army was as weak as the Ming army he encountered before, he might still have a chance to escape, and he might even turn defeat into victory. However, Cao Wenzhao's army not only has the same fighting will as the Jurchen warriors, but also has far superior weapons. With many conditions combined, it is difficult for him not to fail completely.

Sighing slightly, Hauge looked at Li Jing and said, "Are you insulting me that I don't know how to fight?"

Li Jing smiled and shook his head: "I don't need to humiliate you, because you have no right to let me humiliate you. Don't say you are a prisoner now, even if you are still the so-called Prince Su, it is nothing in my eyes. So seeing you, I just want to know about your situation."

Hauge shook his head: "I advise you not to waste your time, I won't tell you anything."

Li Jing smiled: "I don't need you to tell me anything. After meeting you, I know what Huang Taiji's situation is now."

Hauge smiled contemptuously and said, "Just brag, do you southerners do anything else besides bragging?"

Li Jing smiled, tapped Hauge lightly and said, "I don't need to brag to you. After seeing you, I know that Huang Taiji has few people in his hands. Otherwise, he won't send You went to Quang Ninh to harass our army's grain roads."

Hauge snorted and said, "I have countless generals who are good at fighting in the Qing Dynasty. How can there be no generals to use?"

Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Haoge, don't deceive yourself. I firmly believe that you are brave in battle. I also believe that Huang Taiji values ​​you, but such things as breaking the enemy's food are not suitable for your personality. The generals to do it.

You are also a person who has led troops to fight all the year round. You should know that the food road is the lifeblood of the army in front. No matter which army must be careful about its own food road, if you want to break the human food road, you need to be bold and careful, and act cautiously.

You are very courageous, but you can't talk about the rules of the heart at all, and you are even less cautious when doing things.

Before you set off, Huang Taiji told you to be careful, right? "

Hauge nodded slightly.

Li Jing continued with a smile: "Why did he tell you? Because he knows that you are reckless, and he is afraid that you will fall into our trap. But he sent you here knowing that you are reckless. He can only explain one thing. There is no one in his hands who can take on this important task.

You have an uncle named Yue Tuo, right? This man has some talents, but Huang Taiji didn’t send him to cut off my food supply. Obviously, Huang Taiji has more important things to entrust to him. In my opinion, Shenyang’s defense is fixed. is presided over by him.

Except for Yue Tuo, Dorgon's ability is beyond doubt, but his three brothers went to conquer North Korea.

In addition, there is Abatai who has some abilities, but Huang Taiji doesn't trust him very much, and only asks him to be responsible for cutting off the food path of my partial teacher.

Except for these few people, the ability of the remaining generals is not as good as yours, so I say that no one can use Huang Taiji. "

After hearing Li Jing's analysis, Hauge was shocked and said, "Why are you so clear about my situation in the Qing Dynasty? Could it be that you planted a traitor in our dynasty? Or did Fan Wencheng tell you?"

Li Jing shook his head, nodded his head and said with a smile, "I used this to analyze it."

Hauge shouted: "I don't believe it, someone must have told you."

Li Jing looked at Hauge with a smile, sighed softly, and said, "Liaodong has fought against Daming for so many years since Nurhachi rebelled, and I want to attack Liaodong. Understood? How can I inquire about your movements in detail?

I will definitely arrange for spies, but spies can't find out everything, and they may belittle your abilities or misjudge your character when they return.Now that you are captured by our army, I naturally want to meet you to see what kind of character you are.

From your performance just now, I know that you are reckless and can't bear the heavy responsibility at all. If Huang Taiji's generation of heroes, if they don't have no one in their hands, or they don't trust some generals, how can they entrust you with such an important task? "

Haoge stared at Li Jing for a while, then suddenly said: "Where is Fan Wencheng? I want to see Fan Wencheng, and I want to know if he has betrayed the Qing Dynasty."

Li Jing smiled and said, "Fan Wencheng has worked so hard for you, yet you don't trust him! Anyway, I'll let you meet him."

Speaking of which, Li Jing waved to the guards: "Take him to see Fan Wencheng."

"Yes!" The guard replied, and then took Hauge down.

When the guards went out, Li Jing got up and walked around the room for a while, then suddenly said to Wen Qing: "Write to Hong Chengchou, saying that Cao Wenzhao has captured a group of prisoners, but the capital will not need so much labor, I want to share some of them." Approved to cultivate wasteland in Shaanxi, ask him how many people he can accept."

"Yes!" Wen Qing hurriedly said.

Rubbing his forehead, Li Jing looked at Zhu Youjian with a wry smile and said, "It's not easy for Liaodong to return to Daming. If the living habits of these barbarians are not changed, Liaodong will have to arrange heavy troops to guard against it.

That burden is too heavy. Send these people to a place like Shaanxi where there is land and manpower is lacking. After two years, they have learned to farm and get used to the life of us Han people, and then let them return to Liaodong.

It's just that the pressure on Shaanxi will increase. Now we can only see Hong Chengchou's ability and see if he has the ability to train these people out. "

Zhu Youjian nodded, and suddenly said: "Why only send it to Shaanxi, and there is also a shortage of manpower in Henan?"

Li Jing shook his head: "Henan is located in the Central Plains, and it is mainly dominated by plain terrain. It seems that it is not easy to detain. Once these people escape, there will be trouble."

Zhu Youjian pondered for a while and said: "The total population of the Jurchens is not 100 million, but hundreds of thousands. With so many people, they can't all be sent to Shaanxi, right?"

Li Jing smiled and said: "Of course not, most of them are still in Liaodong, and those who are sent to Shaanxi are mainly those captured Jurchen soldiers. The civilians don't need it. Don't forget that at least half of the Jurchens are old, weak, women and children. These people There is no threat, there is no need to bring them back."

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "Actually, southern Liaoning has distinct seasons and a well-developed water system, which is very suitable for farming. The Liaohe River Basin in central Liaoning is even a plain. As long as we manage it carefully, in just a few years, most of the land in Eastern Liaoning will It will become fertile land, and there will be no problem in providing food for millions of people. At that time, the Jurchens who live in this land will no longer need hunting to make a living, and their living habits will gradually be the same as our Han people.

As for the Jurchens in the area from Changbai Mountain to Heilongjiang, because they have less contact with Han people, it is difficult to change their living habits. We need to work hard on the people here, and we also need to send troops to supervise them.

In other words, we should treat the Jurchens differently according to the situation, and mainly focus on enlightenment. "

Speaking of which, Li Jing sighed softly, and then continued: "Over the years, the Jurchens have kidnapped nearly a million Han people from Shanxi, Shandong, and Zhili. Take root, we have to control the emotions of these people and let them slowly downplay their hatred of the Jurchens."

Seeing Li Jing's tired face, Zhu Youjian sighed and said, "Brother Li, take a rest. You are just recovering from illness, so don't overwork yourself. So many things can't be done all at once."

Li Jing shook his head: "I have to formulate a general policy on how to govern Liaodong. After a while, the officials sent to Liaodong from various ministries will be elected and let them govern Liaodong according to these policies."

Zhu Youjian sighed, turned to Wang Chengen and said, "Get two maids over here, beat Brother Li's legs and squeeze his head."

Li Jing shook his head, looked at Wen Qing and said, "Have you written down what I just said?"

Seeing that Wen Qing was about to hand over the record, Li Jing waved his hand and said, "You polish what I just said and send it to each department, let everyone see what needs to be added, and then summarize it and draw up a specific specification."

Wen Qing nodded, looked at the notes and began to think carefully. After a while, he picked up the pen and wrote it with one stroke, and then handed it over to Li Jing for review.

Li Jing read it carefully, nodded, and ordered Wen Qing to copy a few more copies and send them to the various ministries.
