After the strategic conception in the first two stages is impossible to complete, then there is naturally only one way before Li Xiu.
That is how to use more than 20,000 soldiers and generals in your hands to achieve the greatest results in this war.
This is the problem that Li Xiu had been thinking about for months.
And this point has basically become a common tacit understanding, or a concept between Li Xiu and Zhu Youjian.
After all, when the first two strategic ideas cannot be achieved at all, it is to be prepared to face the war that may come.
Li Xiu knew, and Zhu Youjian also knew that as long as this plan could be achieved, this war would be a blessing but not a disaster for the Ming Dynasty to some extent!
Of course, this is a good fortune, not a disaster, and it is necessary to win a great victory when bravely defending the camp!
Haven't you seen a battle in Ningyuan or a battle to defend the city? The Later Jin Dynasty lost at most thousands of soldiers, but it was boasted by the government and the country to what extent?
What to curb more than 100,000 powerful enemies and boost the decline of eighty and nine years!
What is unique in seven or eight years? Deep feet are breathing for the border!
What are the news of Ningyuan's victory? The scholars and common people in the capital are celebrating each other in the empty streets...
It turned the Ningyuan battle into the greatest victory of this dynasty!
It is completely conceivable that if the Later Jin army came to the capital, the world was shaking and people's hearts were disintegrating, they would achieve a great victory!
That……
It can be fully referenced after the Tumu Fort Incident, Yu Qian turned the tide and saved the country from danger, and that was extremely prestige that was enough to suppress the world after Yu Qian turned the tide and saved the country from danger!
What Li Xiu and Zhu Youjian planned was naturally this overwhelming prestige of turning the tide and saving the country from danger!
With this overwhelming prestige, for the monarch and minister who can be said to be mutually reliant on, all the current difficulties will no longer be difficulties!
There will be a smooth road ahead of the two of them!
This has become the unique tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects.
In the face of this plan to change one's destiny, the chaos in Shaanxi is secondary.
All kinds of thoughts flowed, and for a long time, Li Xiu turned his gaze from the land of Beijing and Ji, and turned to the Shaanxi location on the map.
In fact, whether from a strategic perspective or tactical perspective, mobilizing tens of thousands of troops from the capital and dispatching them to Shaanxi was an extremely failed move.
After all, even though the people in Shaanxi are in chaos now, the suppression of the trilateral governor is far from being uncontrollable. It is really not a good deal to transfer troops from thousands of miles to a certain extent.
The same is true for Li Xiu. After all, Shaanxi is far away from the capital. If there is a change in the capital and if the reaction is not timely, it can be said that it is beyond the reach.
After all, it is not a joke to go from Shaanxi to Beijing. The Yongweiying camp is the main force and the infantry army is full of baggage. Even if you march quickly, it will only take sixty or seventy miles a day. It will take at least nearly a month to reach the capital!
Now it is March of the first year of Chongzhen, and it is only six or seven months before the autumn harvest this year.
Time, too short, too short!
If possible, Li Xiu even hoped that he would make a mistake in his judgment. The Later Jin Dynasty might be next year, the year after another... But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely.
There is no doubt that in the Ming Dynasty, the old and new changes, the turmoil in the court, and the party is still fighting endlessly, and there are still people everywhere involving the energy of the court.
Such a god-given opportunity, if he had changed his position, Li Xiu would never let it go.
Of course, Li Xiu has always believed that the Later Jin Dynasty would break through the barriers, which is naturally not simply because it happened in history, nor because of concerns about the current turbulent situation in the Ming Dynasty.
What really made Li Xiu make such a judgment is the current Later Jin Dynasty, and this is the only choice!
Even if we don’t come this year, next year and the year after, there will definitely be a day when history will repeat itself!
The system and geographical location of the Later Jin Dynasty meant that they had the only choice.
The Jurchens' rise, like all nomadic peoples, is a bloody road of conquest, born for war, or, in other words, born for plunder!
If you don’t have one, then grab it!
If you grab it, you will grow stronger.
The Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty grew step by step under such a development process until they formed this behemoth!
However, what is different from the nomadic peoples on the grasslands is that their roots are in the bitter and cold land of Liaodong, rather than on the vast Mongolian grasslands.
Therefore, the expansion path of nomadic peoples could not be fully adapted to the Later Jin Jurchens.
Just like the current Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty, where they are now strong and where can they be robbed?
Liaodong?
The Liao Town, which was enough to collapse, was blocked at the door! Other places were covered with bitter cold, and they also became the sphere of influence of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Grassland Mongolia?
Then he and the Later Jin Dynasty were brothers and brothers, and no one would have a better life.
What's more, the foundation of the Later Jin Dynasty is in Liaodong. Unless the Later Jin migrates the Mongolian grasslands as a whole, it will be destined that the Later Jin Jurchens cannot establish a grassland empire like the nomadic peoples on the grasslands.
North Korea?
Today's North Korea has naturally been one of the goals of the Later Jin Dynasty. However, North Korea's wealth and population are really unsatisfied to make up for the Later Jin Dynasty, which has grown into a giant.
However, the Later Jin, which grew through plunder and expansion, would naturally be impossible to stop plundering, be self-sufficient and stabilize the foundation!
The system does not allow it, the hearts of the people inside do not allow it, and the bitter and cold places in Liaodong are not allowed!
Therefore, the Later Jin Dynasty could only turn to the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty was already weak, the lean camel was bigger than a horse. It could only block the internal hidden dangers caused by the plunder and expansion by plundering a large amount of the Ming Dynasty’s population and wealth!
Thus, through the plundered Han people's population and wealth, the system of the Later Jin was changed bit by bit, thereby stabilizing the foundation of the Later Jin, and then gradually shifting from the nomadic system to the semi-nomadic semi-agricultural system, thereby stabilizing the internal and laying the foundation.
The current Later Jin Dynasty undoubtedly has to face this process.
If Hou Jin wants to complete this excessive process and continue to grow, instead of falling down like a peak, there are only two choices. Either break through Liao Town and then the entire Central Plains will be taken!
The countless attacks on Liao Town by the Later Jin Dynasty and its strategic advancement can be seen to some extent as the entire collective's desire for plunder and expansion.
However, although Liao Town is not enterprising enough, no one can deny its defensive ability. The thin population of the Later Jin Jurchens could not support the battles that suffered heavy losses!
Therefore, there is only one choice for the Later Jin Dynasty, that is, to bypass Liao Town, step on the Central Plains, plunder the wealth and population of the Central Plains, block internal hidden dangers, adjust the Later Jin system, and continue the glory of the Later Jin Dynasty.
There is no doubt that for the entire Later Jin Dynasty, the risk of detouring the Mongolian horse to step into the Central Plains is undoubtedly extremely great, and it can even be said that it is a bet on the national destiny!
After all, if you take a detour and rob the Central Plains, if you are not careful, you will end up catching the turtle in the jar and annihilated the entire army.
However, this is the only choice and the only way out for the Later Jin Dynasty!
Unless Nurhaci and Huang Taiji and other powerful talents of the Later Jin Dynasty suddenly died, leaving a mediocre lord to control the Later Jin Dynasty, then the Later Jin Dynasty would be honestly nestled in Liaodong and decline bit by bit.
Of course, if this is true, the possibility of civil strife should be greater!
Otherwise, there would be only one choice for the Later Jin Dynasty, and that scene in history would eventually happen again!
