Chapter 99 Liaodong Military Town
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the border is urgently reported, Ningyuan's great victory! Ningyuan's great victory! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
On the street, the fast horses ran, and the clamors were heard throughout the streets. Pedestrians retreated one after another, leaving the road to send a message to the fast horses.
"Ningyuan's victory?"
Li Xiu looked at the running fast horse and frowned slightly, not caring too much.
The battle of Ningyuan began as early as after the death of Emperor Tianqi, but with the death of Emperor Tianqi and the new emperor ascended the throne, the beginning of the battle of Ningyuan naturally could not attract great attention.
And now... Ningyuan's victory...
Obviously, the result of this battle should not be much different from that in history.
Li Xiu didn't have to think about it. For the current officials in the court, Zhu Youjian, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, how many enemies they killed in Ningyuan's battle, how many military achievements were, and how much damage they were in the Ming Dynasty.
Nurhaci led his army to besiege Ningyuan and finally withdrew his troops. Whether he was repelled or retreated by himself, the existence of this fact is the most important.
Since the defeat against the Tartars during the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty have never won a single match.
Now that this fact exists, it is something worth writing about! It is a big thing that is exciting!
As for the real situation of the battle, no one will care!
It can only be said that the current Ming Dynasty, the current court officials, and even the new emperor Zhu Youjian, all need this great victory!
But when I saw the battle of Ningyuan, there was a name that could not be avoided.
That is, Yuan Chonghuan, who is also mixed and controversial in history, like this so-called Ningyuan victory!
After many years of operation in Liaodong, he knew it was impossible to complete it, but he still praised the so-called "five-year peace" of Liaoning.
As the commander of one side, he was in charge of the other side. He knew that Mao Wenlong and his part had a threat to the Later Jin Tartars and their role in the overall situation, but he killed Mao Wenlong without orders, but did not take remedial measures, which directly eliminated the biggest threat to the heartland of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Just from these two points, we can see the inextricable connection between Yuan Chonghuan and the Liaodong generals.
After all, the bold words of Ping Liao in the past five years brought Zhu Youjian's full support for the Liaodong town, including troops, money, grain, and weapons. The so-called national strength is nothing more than this.
To some extent, killing Mao Wenlong seems to be regarded as the act of Liaodong generals to exclude dissidents.
After all, without Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Army, the entire situation of Liaoning was the only one that the court could rely on to pacify the Liaoning generals.
The so-called Liao governs Liao!
In Li Xiu's opinion, it is something that can never be accomplished.
This cannot be solved by sending people to restrain themselves.
The reason why a town in Liaodong is so transcendent is because of the existence of the Later Jin Tartars.
However, after so many years of the imperial court, I don’t know how many famous officials and generals were running, and the town in Liaodong has long been as solid as a solid person. No matter how elite the Later Jin Tartars were, they were only elite in field battles. Attacking the city was never the strength of the Later Jin Tartars.
There were only a few people in the entire Later Jin Dynasty, and looking at the defense line in Liaodong, from Ningyuan, even from outside Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, along the way, it can be said that there are many cities and forts!
If one attacks one by one, kills the entire tribe of the Later Jin Tartars, it is not necessarily possible to see Shanhaiguan!
History has also clearly proved that even if the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the Later Jin Tartars had never really broken through that line of defense. If it were not for Wu Sangui's surrender and leading the way, it would have been quite suspense whether the Later Jin could enter the Central Plains.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in defending a town in Liaodong, but if you attack...
History has clearly proved that no matter who commands the Liaodong Military Town, no matter how strict the imperial court is, the enterprising spirit does not exist.
After all, if you can lead the money, food and materials supported by the whole country, and live a comfortable life that no one dares to mess with, who will be foolish to fight!
Obviously, it would be impossible to say that Yuan Chonghuan had no interest and no close connection with Liaodong generals!
Even, maybe Yuan Chonghuan is a representative of Liaodong pushing the door to the front desk...
All kinds of signs flowed in my heart, and finally they were hidden deep in Li Xiu. All this was still too far away from him. Today's Ming Dynasty still needs to rely on Liaodong. The troubles of the Later Jin Tartars could not be solved overnight.
"General, Eunuch Sun from the military battle arrived at the camp."
Just as Li Xiu was thinking, the voice of a rushing soldier suddenly woke him up from his heavy thoughts.
"Walk!"
Hearing this, Li Xiu's eyes lit up and he immediately issued an order. A team of personal guards followed Li Xiu and left the Yongwei camp.
As soon as he entered the camp, Li Xiu saw a group of people gathering on the edge of the school ground. When Li Xiu arrived, the eunuch Sun Xian, who was arranged by Zhu Youjian to be responsible for the internal court war, also immediately greeted him.
"Eunuch Sun is here, and Li is in a misfortune. Don't blame him!"
Regarding the eunuchs in the inner court, Li Xiu did not have the noble and arrogant nature of those literati. He always focused on friendship. In addition, he is now deeply trusted by Zhu Youjian, and his relationship with a group of eunuchs in the inner court is quite good.
"It's rare to leave the palace once. You can see the legendary Yongwei Camp. This time it's worth this trip."
Like most eunuchs, Sun Xian smiled when he spoke, and could not tell what he really thought.
"These are all craftsmen selected from the military battle. They have good craftsmanship. Here is the list. General, please click here?"
"Eunuch Sun can trust his affairs!"
Li Xiu waved his hands repeatedly, looking at the group of craftsmen standing behind Sun Xian with their eyebrows down, but the joy between them was beyond words.
"Come!"
As soon as Li Xiu waved his hand, a soldier immediately walked forward with a small wooden box.
"A little bit of a favor, Eunuch Sun should not refuse. In the future, there are still many things to worry about the weapons in Eunuch Sun!"
Looking at the small wooden box in the soldier's hand, Sun Xian's eyebrows could not hide his joy. The new emperor ascended the throne and was strict in the management of the inner court. Although his military battles were great, he did not dare to make too much money when the emperor and Wei Zhongxian were staring at him. This unexpected fortune was beyond expectations.
"Don't worry, General Li, it's hard to say about other miscellaneous players. The military battle situation is still a bit important to talk about..."
After being polite, Sun Xian ordered his subordinates to accept this favor and leave.
Li Xiu's attention was naturally immediately focused on the craftsmen of the military battle.
