Seventy-four Great Ming Tribulation
The Jurchen cavalry entered the court was Xiao Ruxun's work, and he made it all his efforts.
After going to the Ministry of War for a question that day, Shi Xing summoned Xiao Ruxun twice, had in-depth exchanges with Xiao Ruxun on the Korean war situation, and then exchanged his strategy of sending troops to the Ming Dynasty. After discussion, Xiao Ruxun proposed the suggestion of replacing the Liaodong cavalry with the cavalry of the Jianzhou Jurchens to fight against North Korea. He believed that the Jiannu was not a Han Chinese after all, and he was not a member of our race, and he could not believe it no matter what they had. No matter what their plans were, consuming the Jurchens' troops would always be beneficial to our Ming Dynasty.
Shi Xing deeply agreed and then asked what if the Jurchens were secretly tricked?
Xiao Ruxun said that Li Rusong could be the chief general of the Jurchen cavalry. With the relationship between Li Rusong and Nurhaci, even if Nurhaci had any idea, he would be suppressed by Li Rusong, obediently shed blood and sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty, and used the Japanese military strength to severely weaken their strength. The Jurchens have had some rising momentum recently, and the court must guard against it.
This sentence made Shi Xing make up his mind. After the news of North Korea's request for the Jurchens not to enter the country to fight, Shi Xing refused sternly and wrote to the emperor to explain the pros and cons. Zhu Yijun issued an order to reprimand the Korean king.
Sending troops to North Korea is a foregone conclusion. No matter how many of the court officials think that the rise of this war has led to the continued struggle for the foundation of the country, it cannot stop the Ming Dynasty. This huge war machine rumbled and ordered soldiers to go out in one go. The place of recruitment was a busy scene, and a large number of soldiers headed to the place of war with different moods.
Zhu Yijun ordered the commander of the Eastern Expedition, Xiao Ruxun, to rush to Korea as soon as possible to meet with the governor Song Yingchang and the Korean king ministers to discuss fighter opportunities and not to delay the time.
Xiao Ruxun, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, has become the hottest topic nowadays because this time, the emperor added the word "Admiral" to his title. His full name is "Admiral Ji Liao Baoding Shandong and other places to defend the sea and defence the Japanese generals." The Ming Dynasty did not add the title of admiral to military officers since Hongwu Yongle.
He was the first person to enjoy such honor after the decline of the general. This minister who was the first to quell the Ningxia Rebellion is now going to North Korea to fight his arrogant and evil neighbor, Japan. People are full of curiosity about this young master.
However, no matter how curious he was, he had no time to observe his idol. After receiving the emperor's order, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly prepared for a day and set off on his way.
The reason why he left the capital so simply was certainly excited to be the chief general for the first time, but there was also the idea of his own coming soon, and he hoped to catch up with the idea of ending the war before the child was born. Yes, after three months of hard work, Yang Caiyun was found to be pregnant for one month in early August.
Xiao Ruxun's plan to create a man was very successful. At that time, Xiao Ruxun was so happy that she couldn't even say anything. Her father ran to the grave of her deceased mother and cried for a long time. Then she wrote to her three brothers, severely scolding them for having children later than their younger brothers, which was simply unfilial.
It is also for this reason that after receiving the call, Xiao Ruxun packed and left without saying a word. Before leaving, he promised to come back before the child was born. According to conventional calculations, the child was pregnant in early July, so he would be born in April of the 21st year of Wanli at the latest. Although this battle is not very difficult to fight, Xiao Ruxun wants to do a lot of things.
He had already received the news. After Li Rusong was qualified to fight, he rushed to Liaodong almost immediately. According to his analysis, he should have gone to his childhood friend Nurhaci to dispatch troops and generals. Xiao Ruxun also decided to go to Liaoyang, Liaodong as soon as possible to meet the governor Song Yingchang.
In name, Song Yingchang was the head coach, but because he was a general with a title, as long as he was a little tougher, he would have the command and autonomy of the war to a considerable extent, just like Li Rusong.
According to his understanding, Song Yingchang was not a weak lord, but an equally tough lord. Xiao Ruxun didn't mind being polite to him, as long as he didn't have the traditional vision of despising military generals. If that were true, Xiao Ruxun would not be afraid to fight against him. Xiao Ruxun, who has a title, is not afraid of fighting with civil officials now.
His strategic intention was to keep this group of about 200,000 Japanese soldiers and young men completely in North Korea, because judging from the current state, it would be unrealistic for him to cross the sea to completely eliminate Japan. He could only do his best to eliminate Japan's biological forces and make it mess up on itself. At the worst, it would have to breathe within twenty years. In this way, there would be enough time to expand its territory on the Ming and Myanmar battlefield.
On the way to Liaodong, Xiao Ruxun kept dealing with the inn staff along the way and asking about the local climate. The locals who have lived in the local area for a long time said that in recent years, it felt that it was getting colder and colder. In previous years, spring started very early and winter was quite late, but I don’t know when it started. Winter came early and spring came late, and it was particularly cold. Just like this September day, I remember that it was a little hot in previous years, but this year it was already a little cool.
However, they all said that it was no big deal. Liaodong has always been bitter and cold, with a small population. The farming area is ripe every year. As long as six or seven months is not winter, Liaodong can live.
Liaodong is not afraid. The fertile black soil can naturally feed this small population. However, the Central Plains is densely populated, and most crops are still ripe every year, and rarely ripen every year. It is entirely supported by these grain production that maintains the life and death line. The Little Ice Age is approaching rapidly. If you leave it alone, in a maximum of twenty years, a terrifying cold will come to this land. The grain production in the Central Plains will drop sharply, or even lose its harvest, and the Ming Dynasty will still not escape the destined disaster.
By then, the Great Ming Catastrophe will be in a catastrophe.
I wonder if there are potatoes on the land of China now?
Xiao Ruxun accelerated his speed to Liaoyang.
On the tenth day of September, Xiao Ruxun rushed to Liaoyang day and night. On the way, he met several groups of commanders who came to ask about Xiao Ruxun's schedule. He was attacking Song Yingchang's banner. Song Yingchang urged Xiao Ruxun to speed up his schedule, but he didn't know why.
As soon as he entered Liaoyang, Xiao Ruxun rushed to the Jingliu Mansion to pay homage to Song Yingchang. Before arriving, Xiao Ruxun was ready. If Song Yingchang wanted to pay homage to him according to the so-called rules, he would definitely break in and not give him a good look. Just like Li Rusong, according to the regulations, if Xiao Ruxun greets Song Yingchang, he should first wear armor, kowtow at the door, and then go out to change his clothes before speaking.
Isn't this abusive person? You're still trying to do this like this, which is simply a humiliation, so Xiao Ruxun will never accept it, but what he didn't expect was that there was an old servant with his body hanging on his back at the door of the Legislative House, waiting for him. Seeing a general coming by, he hurried forward to pay homage: "Is General Xiao Pinglu?"
Xiao Ruxun dismounted the horse, threw the whip to his personal soldiers, and replied: "That's right."
"That's great!" The old servant bowed again and said, "My wife has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Ruxun said strangely: "Mr. Jinglei has been waiting for me for a long time? What do you say?"
"Please first." The old servant led Xiao Ruxun into the mansion: "My master is sick."
"I'm sick?"
