Chapter 106 Man Gui's Ambition
From the late Wanli Dynasty, to the transitional Taichang Dynasty, and then to the Tianqi Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty took too many wrong routes, so that in the current Chongzhen Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was trapped in a quagmire, and the options available to it became
Much narrower.
If Emperor Wanli could check and balance the court, he would not overly favor Concubine Zheng, cause a dispute over the foundation of the country, and treat Emperor Taichang too harshly and ignore her.
The shortest-lived emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not have eliminated a number of Donglin Party backbones during his short reign, allowing the Donglin Party to rise again in power.
Don't look at the Donglin Party, which showed extremely strong momentum in the early days of the Tianqi Dynasty and the early Chongzhen Dynasty.
However, in fact, when the Wanli Dynasty fought against the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang Party and other factions, they did not have much of an upper hand. They were even expelled from the court by the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang Party and other factions using the Beijing Police.
But history ultimately determines success or failure based on results.
The Donglin Party had the upper hand in the court and wanted to engage in efforts to unite the parties and defeat their differences, causing irreversible damage to both the Ming Dynasty during the Tianqi Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Less than a year after Emperor Tianqi proclaimed himself emperor, in the first year of Tianqi, he launched an impeachment campaign against Xiong Tingbi in order to bring down this giant of the Chu Party.
Yuan Yingtai, who took over the management of Liaodong, caused the loss of important places such as Liaoshen and Shenyang, and the Jianlu Eight Banners, who were red-eyed, moved all the way to southern Liaoning. As a result, the strategic depth of Ming Dynasty in Liaodong was compressed to the western Liaoning area.
In the second year of Tianqi's reign, there were party disputes and the Donglin Party. The Liaodong Economic and Social Affairs Bureau was at odds with each other. Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi had many conflicts. There were many people in the DPRK and China who disagreed with Xiong Tingbi.
In addition, Xiong Tingbi said that "Liao people are not available" and wanted to remind Emperor Tianqi, but the Liaodong generals who were beginning to take shape made a plan behind his back. As a result, the Ming Dynasty lost the opportunity to integrate western Liaoning, and the Eight Banners were taken advantage of the chaos.
Enter and seize the last strategic location in western Liaoning!
It is said that the eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian was the faction that destroyed the Ming Dynasty the most, but in fact, no one who participated in the party struggle was wrongly accused.
The essence of this continuous chaos is that the emperor's power is weak and the ministers' power is strong, which leads to the Ming Dynasty to cleverly avoid the correct route and plunge into the wrong route at critical periods. It is not a kind of irony.
"His Majesty's layout in Liaodong is truly far-sighted."
Standing on the Shanhaiguan Pass, Mangui looked at the garrison walls built inside the pass and said with emotion: "The motley garrison army in the Liao Dynasty has completely transformed into the nature of defending a city.
The Dongjiang Army led by Liu Xingzuo began to coerce the Jianlu Eight Banners in southern Liaoning. While training the troops, it continued to weaken the Jianlu.
With the Shanhaiguan led by this commander, I sorted out the various armies guarding this key pass, and at the same time carried out military demobilization, re-recruited the Liao people who had fled Liaodong, and sent new soldiers for training to Superintendent Sun, and sent new soldiers for training to Liu Xingzuo.
If this situation can be maintained, in three years, only three years, then the confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianlu Eight Banners in Liaodong will be completely reversed."
"What Commander Manchu said is true. Your Majesty is really far-sighted."
The general on the side sighed and said: "Even at this moment, the general can't believe in his heart that the Dongjiang Army actually killed two Niulu Jianlu Zhentar and slaughtered them.
The two Tartars numbered more than a thousand people.
It was even said that all the naval forces stationed at Jinzhou Guard were burned down by Liu Xingzuo and the others. This sounds too damn mysterious."
"Xuanhu?"
Mangui widened his eyes, looked at his generals, and said: "If this matter is false, then what happened to Jianlu's previous changes in Liaoxi and how they suddenly stopped?
If this matter is false, then the chaos caused by Jianlu in southern Liaoning was all disguised?
You must know that the commotion in southern Liaoning alarmed the Denglai navy who was out for training, so much so that when the news of the victory reached Ningyuan City, Commander Sun was shocked."
In response to the quelling the rebellion and the establishment of the captives, Emperor Chongzhen's clear strategy for Liaodong was no longer focused on recovering one city or multiple cities.
The pan-Liaodong front created by Emperor Chongzhen effectively took advantage of the remaining advantages of the Ming Dynasty. Taking advantage of the special region of southern Liaoning and the lack of core personnel of the Eight Banners of Jianlu, it was clearly headed by Sun Chengzong, Liu Xingzuo, Mangui, Yuan Keli, and Sun Yuanhua.
Liaodong leadership team.
To prepare for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's naval force on the coast of Liaodong, effective use of a series of tactical arrangements such as sea and land coordinated operations, landing warfare, guerrilla warfare, and blitz warfare, and to continuously lay waste to the establishment of the Eight Banners, use southern Liaoning as a training ground, and create a martial arts hall with the army.
, recruit brave men and gradually build a new army, support war with war, and create a new army that is capable and worthy of reuse!
"If you ever do this again, don't fucking say it in front of me again!!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Man Gui became. He glared and said: "The emperor will give us Shanhaiguan a full amount of food and salary, make up for the previous arrears of food and salary, and promote me to be the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan."
This gives me so much trust and hope.
Look at what we have done, until now... we have only raised eight thousand warriors, and we have not yet prepared to build a martial arts hall for the army. What a fucking shame!"
The generals and commanders who gathered around Man Gui all lowered their heads in shame, with a hint of anger between their brows.
The fault is not Shanhaiguan's. The internal situation is too complicated. Many things were secretly constrained and obstructed before they were even started, so they wouldn't have been able to achieve this.
"Look at Governor Sun, look at Liu Xingzuo."
Man Gui, who was unruly in his heart, pointed at the group of generals in front of him and said: "I am the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, not his mother. I have been hiding in the back, training new soldiers, sending new soldiers to Liaoqian, and to Dongjiang Town."
of.
You guys have followed me in all the wars, so we all have to show some respect, okay?
Today I called you to the Shanhaiguan Pass wall, surrounded by my personal guards, and I just want to ask you, do you all have eggs?"
"!!!"
When their chief military officer said this, these warriors on the battlefield straightened their backs one by one, and their angry eyes shone with brilliance.
"Okay, it's kind of a damn thing to do it."
Looking at the group of warriors in front of him, Mangui stood with a sword in his hand and said loudly: "For half a year, I don't look at the process, only the results.
It's my job to do it, I won't ask you to do it.
It's your turn to be tough on me for what you should do.
Thirty thousand well-trained new soldiers, no matter what method you use, recruit and train the new soldiers for me.
Can you do it for me?"
"able!!!"
Deafening roars resounded at the Shanhaiguan Pass. What Sun Chengzong and Liu Xingzuo did deeply stimulated Mangui.
Governor Sun, whom he admired, was able to stabilize the situation in the Liao Dynasty, which was acceptable to Mangui.
