Chapter 1224 Dull topic(1/2)
The defeat of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty in the capital directly led to the wealth they plundered all the way into nothingness. Such a result was something that Huang Taiji and the others could not accept.
After all, people like Huang Taiji need to consider different things from those at the bottom of the army.
Invasion of the Ming Dynasty in this winter was because some supplies of the Later Jin Dynasty were insufficient, so it was necessary to grab it once.
But if you come back empty-handed, wouldn’t this mean they will be in vain?
Not only did I say that I had lost so many soldiers.
So, in addition to the dead Eight Banners, will the remaining Later Jin nobles have opinions about themselves in their hearts?
Well, this matter must be wary of.
Moreover, after all wealth was abandoned, what did the soldiers at the bottom think about this?
Their ideas are much simpler than those of the nobles.
They fought desperately for money.
Therefore, in order to avoid some trouble, Huang Taiji discovered that the army that defeated him did not pursue him.
Moreover, when he obtained information from Liaodong, he immediately ransacked Liaodong on the way to retreat to meet the needs of the lower-level soldiers.
At the same time, it is also to vent the panic of defeat.
Faced with the Eight Banners soldiers who were defeated like wolves and tigers, the generals of the Liaodong towns still hid in the city as before and did not dare to fight.
This approach greatly increased the arrogance of the Later Jin army.
In the end, the people scattered in the villages in Liaodong were in trouble.
The generals of the Ming army allowed the Eight Banners soldiers to carry out inhumane killing and looting on them, but these people remained indifferent.
As the Later Jin army retreated and plundered, the Ming generals who were huddling in the city did not know that they had missed a huge opportunity.
If they have the courage to lead the army to fight, then the Later Jin army, which has been dealt with by Jay Chou, would never dare to fight.
Maybe, it is very likely that Huang Taiji may be killed in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, such a thing did not happen.
This makes people sigh.
It is precisely because of the plunder of the Later Jin army that Liaodong is now full of devastation.
Those people who escaped the killing of the Later Jin army have been destroyed by living and become homeless.
The elderly and the weak are beginning to struggle on the line of life and death.
Thanks to Zhao Hongyu's appearance, these people have a glimmer of hope.
It is precisely because of this relationship that the imperial army has followed so many Ming people.
The reason is simple. If they leave the army that gives them food, they will starve to death in a few days.
The generals from the towns in Liaodong would not let them enter the city, nor would they take out food to help them.
In such a situation, as long as you are not a fool, you will know what to do to survive.
It was under the rule of the living ** that even though they knew that the destination of this army was Jincheng, these homeless people kept following the army.
"The generals in Liaodong should be killed! Not killing is not enough to calm the public's anger, and not enough to shock other generals!"
Sun Chuanting said in a hatred.
Historically, Sun Chuanting was a decisive person.
Killing He Renlong, an extremely arrogant general, was his work.
Of course, this is what happened in another time and space.
It can also be seen from this that Sun Chuanting is not the civil servants in the court. He always cares about his work.
You should know that in another time and space, although He Renlong has various shortcomings and is despised, he also kills good people and makes achievements.
But it is undeniable that the "Eight Kings" and even Li Zicheng at that time were indeed afraid of He Renlong. Many times when they heard that their opponent was He Renlong, they would avoid the battle or even avoid it.
If He Renlong had no ability, he wouldn't have done this.
Moreover, He Renlong’s nickname “He Madman” was not called out for no reason. It was because this guy was indeed very powerful in the battle, so he had such a name.
However, He Renlong also became proud of his achievements because he could fight.
Even under the influence of selfishness, the two governors were killed, which was something that the court could not tolerate.
For this reason, He Renlong's death was already destined.
What's more, the court cannot ignore it if it raises the enemy and respects himself.
Therefore, when Sun Chuanting became the governor again, he had to kill He Renlong.
There is nothing else, just establishing authority to shock other generals, and at the same time eliminate a hidden danger.
After all, the guy who killed two governors would know that he was a difficult person to deal with with. If he didn't kill him, then Sun Chuanting would be worried about following in the footsteps of the two unlucky guys.
Besides, He Renlong's existence is equivalent to a beacon, setting a benchmark for some generals with selfish intentions.
If he is still alive and is living more and more prosperous, wouldn’t he tell other selfish generals that he should do what he does?
Once this trend really happens, these people will be difficult to control.
Therefore, under the admixture of these factors, He Renlong was killed by Sun Chuanting.
Of course, Sun Chuanting killed and claimed it was not without psychological pressure.
But he dared to do it after all, and he survived it.
A general who has a status like He Renlong and has a heavy army will cause a mutiny if it is not handled properly, and it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.
You know, many people can actually deal with He Renlong.
But why did Sun Chuanting do it?
Because Sun Chuanting was decisive enough, he was not as thoughtful as others.
If Sun Chuanting was like his other colleagues, then he would be impossible to deal with He Renlong.
You know, He Renlong's death is not his own business. What do you think of the other generals when the rabbit dies and the fox is sad?
These are all things that need to be considered.
However, Sun Chuanting completely shocked the other generals by congratulating Renlong's death, without causing any trouble or disturbances.
Just by judging this point, you can see that Sun Chuanting is cruel and ruthless.
Therefore, Sun Chuanting said in front of Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui that the generals in Liaodong should be killed was basically what he thought.
It can be imagined that if the court asked Sun Chuanting to deal with this matter, there would be a bloody storm in Liaodong.
However, Sun Chuanting in this time and space is very different from Sun Chuanting in another time and space.
In another time and space, Sun Chuanting was a civil servant and was no longer young.
But in this time and space, Sun Chuanting was a military general in his early thirties and was not a civil servant at all.
Moreover, Sun Chuanting has now been assigned to follow Zhao Hongyu, so the court will not let him deal with these matters in Liaodong.
"It is indeed a killing. But I think the court should not do this, but instead, they have to appease these people. After all, it will be difficult to deal with once a single blow will cause chaos. After all, these people are too selfish, and they may be anxious for their own lives."
Yang Fengyi has been the governor of Liaodong for ten years, and he can't understand the former subordinates of Liaodong.
To be honest, Yang Fengyi was quite regretful of what she had done before.
If he hadn't wanted to be good to everyone, I would have ended up like this.
In the battle of Yehu Ridge, he was betrayed by those people.
If I had known this, when I was the governor of Liaodong, I would have dealt with these people when I discovered their dirty things.
Yang Fengyi could see that Sun Chuanting and herself had completely different personalities.
If Sun Chuanting was the governor of Liaodong, then perhaps this time the attack on the Later Jin Dynasty and the defeat of Yehuling might not have happened.
"You are right. These guys are full of their own selfish desires. If the court really wants to sue and kill people, no one can guarantee that they will not incite the soldiers to cause trouble. If there is a chaos in the army, wouldn't this give the Later Jin a great opportunity?" After listening to Yang Fengyi's words, Sun Chuanting thought about it carefully and had to admit that Yang Fengyi's consideration was still very correct.
"But these people did too much, and they retreated without authorization on the battlefield. They framed the chief official and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers to death, and faced the fear of war in the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty. If the court did not punish such generals, this would be a bit unreasonable." Although they began to agree with Yang Fengyi's judgment, Sun Chuanting still had some questions in his heart.
Wu Sangui, who was standing aside, interrupted at this time and said, "Two sirs, what you said makes sense. But there are a few words that the official said are not right or wrong."
Wu Sangui interrupted and asked Yang Fengyi and Sun Chuanting to stop talking.
Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Sangui: "Tell me, I won't blame you."
Yang Fengyi also nodded.
After seeing that both of them responded to him, Wu Sangui then clasped his fists and continued talking.
"In fact, what the officials are going to say is that they are not in their position and do not do their own affairs. How should the court handle the matters of Liaodong? Our subjects cannot manage our subjects. For us, we are doing things well under the command of this American crown prince, right?"
Wu Sangui's words completely made Yang Fengyi and Sun Chuanting wake up.
That's right, what are they thinking about here?
The court naturally has its considerations, and it is not something that can be controlled by a small role like them.
