Chapter 145: Shaanxis peace?
The battle to combat the thieves in Yan'an Prefecture is still continuing, but the war between the Later Jin and the Chahar tribe far away in Mongolia has ended.
After several major defeats, the Chahar tribes, led by Lin Dankhan, was forced to move westward under the leadership of Lin Dankhan.
He was defeated several times by the Later Jin Dynasty, and suffered losses of troops and generals. In addition, he took the initiative to move westward, the Chahar tribe was unable to return in a short period of time.
Such an ending seemed to have achieved the strategic purpose of the Later Jin Dynasty's entry into Mongolia this time, so Huang Taiji naturally did not make any more wars. However, this time, Huang Taiji did not withdraw his troops and retreated to Liaodong.
Instead, he stayed in the Mongolian grasslands with the excuse of stabilizing the situation in Mongolia and clearing out the remnants of Lin Danhan.
As for what to do, it is undoubtedly obvious. The Mongolian grasslands are vast and the Gobi Desert is desolate. As an outsider, it is naturally not easy to be familiar with the terrain.
Especially the strategy of taking a detour to Mongolia to conquer the Ming Dynasty set by Nurhaci requires thorough familiarity with the route and avoiding any loopholes.
As for these, Huang Taiji was in Mongolia, so he was naturally ready to do all this in advance.
The sun is in full swing in summer and the autumn harvest is approaching. The tentacles of the Later Jin Dynasty accompanied the teams of Later Jin cavalry running in the grassland and Gobi, and gradually touched the northern borders of the Ming Dynasty from Liaodong little by little.
Under the leadership of Nurhaci, the Later Jin Dynasty had sharpened its sword and was ready to start a war to bet on national destiny!
If a battle is successful, then the Later Jin Dynasty will definitely be like a trapped dragon ascend to heaven and will completely gain a foothold.
Although there are still many objections within the Later Jin Dynasty, under Nurhaci's absolute prestige, all internal obstacles are false.
This heroic ruler who founded and strengthened the Later Jin Dynasty was ready to completely lay the foundation for the Later Jin Dynasty in the last period of his life!
As the target of the Later Jin Dynasty, this decadent giant was already extremely difficult to raise his fingers.
In fact, although the giant has decayed, its tactile perception still exists.
Just like the Jinyiwei of the East Factory, under the suggestion of Li Xiu, a large number of spies had already been sent to Mongolia. Although due to time constraints, there was no need to find out much useful information.
However, the movements and stills of Mongolian tribes can still be learned. Although these seemingly ordinary news cannot be seen on the surface, in fact, if we look at the things predicted by Li Xiu's theory of Later Jin, it will be evidence one by one.
Unfortunately, with today's court, it is difficult to formulate a useful policy!
It is even more difficult to implement this policy well.
Of course, as clues emerged, there were also people with knowledge in the court who noticed the clues and worked hard for them.
It’s like sending the order to prepare military forces to the border troops in Jizhen, strictly guarding them, and sending the order to monitor the movements of the Later Jin Dynasty to Liaozhen...
But in the end it just flows to the surface, it is difficult to reach the depths, and it cannot change too much.
Looking at the changes in Ji Si in history, we can clearly see that although the Later Jin Dynasty was thinking of gambling on the national destiny, the actual war process probably surprised the Later Jin Dynasty.
Although there are many problems in Liao Town, one thing is undeniable, that is, the Liao people defended the Liao territory. When the Later Jin Dynasty violated their interests, the Liaodong generals dared to fight, but were not afraid of fighting!
But this does not mean that other border towns are the same.
In fact, with the whole country supplying Liao Town, other border towns have been abandoned for a long time.
The Ming Dynasty's external defense system was useless except for Liao Town.
Historically, the Later Jin broke through the pass and was able to be said to have advanced straight into the Ming Dynasty. The border defense system of the Ming Dynasty, the strong cities and towns that should have caused huge obstacles to the Later Jin Dynasty along the way did not cause decent obstacles to the Later Jin cavalry at all.
And the current problem is exactly the same.
Later Jin may detour and break the barrier.
But how should the court react?
It is no longer a reality to defend enemies outside the country.
Vigorously rectify the border army in Jizhen, rectify the Beijing army, or transfer the elite troops in Liaozhen to Jizhen? Or let Liaozhen take the initiative to attack and involve the attention of the Later Jin Dynasty?
None is realistic! None can be accomplished by a single will.
What's more, it's just a clue that shows the possibility, it's just a possibility!
This is just a possibility, and it is enough to make the court quarrel for the first half of the year.
After all, the so-called party struggle is to not ask whether it is right or wrong.
If the opponent supports it, you must oppose it without brains, and if the opponent opposes it, you must support it without brains!
Nowadays, it is a very good result to have some superficial responses introduced one after another.
As time passes day by day, the scorching summer sun is getting hotter.
The summer is hot, and in this era of drought, it is undoubtedly another bad news.
But no matter how hot it is, it cannot stop the plunder of war.
To this day, Yang He or Li Xiu, both from the Three-Border Governor’s Office, have already had a silent tacit understanding.
That is the Wu Xuan family, which must be wiped out.
Yang He was powerless to stop Li Xiu's advance, so he could only pinch his nose and recognize him.
Furthermore, the unstoppable momentum of the Yongwei camp can better intimidate the other bandits in Shaanxi, so that Yang He's strategy of recruiting and responsiveness will be easier to implement.
Li Xiu's intention was simpler. He wanted to fight this battle, but it was that simple.
Ansai City has long been conquered. Gao Yingxiang, known as the number one general of the Rebel Army, has no choice but to protect his body. The three armies have already surrounded Wu Xuan's main thief army.
The progress of the battle was not surprising at all. In just two days, the victory was established. Wu Xuan was beheaded by Erwazi as a battle, and all the Wu family members were captured and were escorted to the capital.
In less than twenty days, Wu Xuan, the leader of the Shaanxi rebel army, had already been destroyed.
Under such a mighty power, the rebels from all over Shaanxi were frightened!
Li Xiu had not made any moves yet. All the so-called rebels from Shaanxi, who were still swaying, all fell into Yang He's arms.
After all, in the eyes of the bandits, the Three-Border Governor's Office was recruiting pacification. Li Xiu, the Shaanxi general, relied on the trust of the emperor, and refused to abandon Yang He, the Three-Border Governor, and insisted on clearing and suppressing them.
The two gods were in a state of disagreement, and they were the ones who suffered. The current situation was very clear. Either they would go to hell with Wu Xuan, or they would ask Yang He to comfort him and turn himself into an official army, so Li Xiu would have no reason to beat them.
But at this time, Yang He put on airs and he could see through it. With Li Xiu, the killing god, standing there, these bandits were not qualified to bargain with him.
The relaxed conditions for placing the past, and a series of harsh conditions were introduced, but this did not affect the survival of many bandits in Shaanxi. They accepted it all, and the city wall was changed into a king's flag, and the speed of replacing the face was also very fast.
In just over ten days, Shaanxi, which was originally chaotic, suddenly became peaceful.
Um……
Chapter completed!
