Chapter four hundred and fortieth reverse black and white

Although the four major beiles discussed, Huang Taiji, who had just ascended the throne of Khan, still showed the extraordinary courage of a generation of heroes. He resisted the opposition and did not die in secret about Nurhaci's death. He led the Later Jin army to pursue the victory and captured Kaiyuan and Tieling. Malin, who fled to Kaiyuan, could not escape the fate of death in the battle of Sarhu, and was not injured in the south road. When the Ming army heard the news that the Later Jin army was chasing him, they collapsed before the battle, trampled on each other, and more than 1,000 people were killed or injured. Li Rubai South Road, when he heard the news that the Later Jin army was chasing him. He actually collapsed before the battle, trampled on each other, and more than 1,000 people were killed or injured. Li Rubai The remnants fled to Chenyang, and the Korean army who followed Li Rubai to fight saw that the Ming army was vulnerable in front of the Later Jin army, and under the leadership of Marshal Jiang Hongli, the entire army surrendered. Mangurtai wanted to kill Jiang Hongli and the surrendered Korean soldiers to avenge Degele, but was stopped by Huang Taiji. He also held a banquet to entertain them and released them all back to the country. He also wrote a book to the Korean king Guanghaijun and said, "Your North Korea helps Ming with troops. I know it is not your intention, and I have no choice because of its power. Moreover, Ming had saved your Japanese invasion, so I came to repay his kindness." He also said that he wanted to form a friendly alliance with North Korea.

Then Huang Taiji led his army to attack Yehe's army. The chief of Yehe's army, Jin Taiji, Buyanggu, was killed, and the rest surrendered! Only then did Huang Taiji announce the news of Nurhaci's death. The whole army, Gusu, attacked Mingjing with a mourning attitude of avenging Nurhaci's bloody hatred. Yang Hao was scared by the aggressive attack of the Later Jin Dynasty. At this time, he shrank his troops in the name of defending Chenyang, resulting in the loss of the important town of Guangning (now Jinzhou Beizhen). At this point, except for Chenyang and Liaoyang, most areas of Liaodong fell into the control of the Later Jin Dynasty!

Not only that, in order to make up for the population loss that was plundered by Guo Zhiyuan, Huang Taiji also ordered the Later Jin army to move the Liao people in the captured area to relocate the people of the Liao people, plundering more than 40,000 people, horses and livestock. The Ming Dynasty lost more people and land than the original historical and space-time battle of Sarhu!

When the news reached the capital, the court was shocked. Emperor Wanli cried bitterly. He could not understand why the Ming army, which clearly had an absolute advantage in military strength, was defeated so badly? Even ordinary people could not believe that the news was true, but the profiteers in the capital believed it and reacted quite quickly. On the day the news arrived in the capital, the rice prices in the capital rose sharply!

In order to shirk responsibility, Yang Hao, the Liaodong ruling, actually turned the blame on Guo Zhiyuan, who had copied the retreat of the Later Jin Dynasty. He submitted a memorial saying that it was Guo Zhiyuan who sent troops privately to disrupt the deployment of the Ming army, which led to the Ming army's defeat. He also used the relationship established in Korea when he led the Ming army into North Korea during the Japanese turmoil in the Renchen period to help North Korea fight against the Japanese invading army, and asked North Korea to write to the Ming court, saying that Guo Zhiyuan was domineering when he detoured North Korea and sought to ask for it, which seriously hurt the friendship between North Korea and China and North Korea!

Huang Taiji, who regarded Guo Zhiyuan as a major concern, did not forget to stumbling Guo Zhiyuan. After trying to attack Chenyang, he found that Chen Yang had strict defenses and could take advantage of it. He finally stopped the attack and took the initiative to write a letter to the Ming Dynasty court saying that he was willing to cease the battle and negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, but the prerequisite was that the Ming Dynasty court handed over Guo Zhiyuan or punished Guo Zhiyuan!

This happened to give the Donglin Party members who had always been hostile to Guo Zhiyuan to vent their anger. They impeached Guo Zhiyuan, saying that Guo Zhiyuan did not respect the imperial decree and sent troops privately, which also undermined the friendly relations between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty and disrupted the deployment of the Ming army in Liaodong. They were the culprit of the Ming army's great defeat! It is not enough to calm the public's anger if it is not killed!

At this time, thanks to Liu Jing's stand up and speak up, Liu Jing died in the original historical time and space of the world. Now, Guo Zhiyuan saved his life by chance because he captured the retreat of the Later Jin army. He was already very puzzled by the sudden withdrawal of Jin under the advantage of the Later Jin army. Afterwards, he suddenly realized that Guo Zhiyuan had captured the retreat of the Later Jin army and knew that his life was actually saved by Guo Zhiyuan!

So after knowing that Yang Hao turned black and white into the blame for the Ming army's defeat on Guo Zhiyuan, he was very angry and submitted a memorial to the court. In the memorial, he reported his true experience in the Battle of Sarhu in detail, saying that Guo Zhiyuan was not only not the culprit of the Ming army's defeat, but made great contributions! He even suggested that the court let Guo Zhiyuan replace Yang Hao as the governor of Liaodong, launch a counterattack against the Later Jin Dynasty, and regain the lost land.

Although Liu Jing was not at a high level, his qualifications were very old. He had basically participated in the "Three Major Conquests of Wanli" and was quite prestigious in the army, so he still had some effect on his speech. At least the voice of impeaching Guo Zhiyuan in the court was no longer one-sided.

In fact, even if Liu Jing does not stand up, a real discerning person can only understand the process of the Battle of Sarhu and know that Yang Hao is turning black and white. Guo Zhiyuan's retreat to capture the Later Jin Dynasty will only disrupt the deployment of the Later Jin army. How could it disrupt the deployment of the Ming army?

Nurhaci's death also verified all this. Although the Later Jin Dynasty was very vague about the cause of Nurhaci's death, only saying that he died because of excessive fighting with the Ming army, the fool wanted to get it. Nurhaci had always been in good health and personally led the Later Jin army to win the Battle of Sarhu. In theory, it was definitely a happy mood after winning the battle, so why did he die suddenly? It was obvious that Guo Zhiyuan hit the pain point of the Later Jin army and angered Nurhaci to death!

But these discerning people are not able to stand up for Guo Zhiyuan to speak. The court dispatched nearly 200,000 troops but was defeated by the Later Jin army. Guo Zhiyuan and you traveled thousands of miles from the East to North Korea, but Nurhaci was so angry that they vomited blood and died of blood (they didn't know that Guo Zhiyuan defeated Mangurtai's 10,000 Later Jin cavalry). Where did this put the court's face? Isn't it equivalent to admitting the incompetence of the court?

In fact, Emperor Wanli was not confused. He also knew that Guo Zhiyuan was not the culprit of the Ming army's defeat. He knew that Guo Zhiyuan had actually made great contributions, so he was not confused by Yang Hao's memorial to turn black and white. He directly detained Yang Hao and took him back to the capital for punishment. He naturally could not adopt Liu Jing's suggestion that Guo Zhiyuan would replace Yang Hao as the governor of Liaodong. Just kidding, Guo Zhiyuan occupied the deserted island of Dongfan already gave him a great headache. If Guo Zhiyuan was allowed to replace Yang Hao as the governor of Liaodong, wouldn't it be a big deal! So in the end, Xiong Tingbi (a famous general at the end of the Ming Dynasty) replaced Yang Hao to Liaodong.

However, if Liu Jing did not stand up and help Guo Zhiyuan speak up for justice, Emperor Wanli could pretend to be confused, or even suppress Guo Zhiyuan. At least it was a fact that Guo Zhiyuan did not respect the order and sent troops privately. It was also a fact that he was domineering in Korea to destroy the friendly relations between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. But now that Liu Jing had expressed the fact that Guo Zhiyuan made great contributions, Emperor Wanli would not be able to pretend to be confused. How should Guo Zhiyuan send troops privately to capture the future path of the Later Jin Dynasty?
