Chapter 60: Mongolia besieged on all sides in Liaodong


As for the issue of Liaodong, after Zhu Youxiao received Lu Xiangsheng's letter and reported victory, he held a small meeting with cabinet ministers and six ministers to discuss Liaodong strategy.

Only Han Xu in the cabinet believed that Liaodong should be quickly pacified until Nurhaci obeyed.

Fang Congzhe, on the other hand, felt that we should proceed steadily and establish a foothold in southern Liaoning first.

Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong supported Fang Congzhe's strategy.

Among the six departments, the three departments of Rites, Punishment and Work did not have much say.

However, Xu Guangqi, He Zongyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Huang Kezhuan, the Minister of War, agreed with Fang Congzhe.

They either knew the military or knew the financial difficulties of the imperial court.

Of course, they understood that it was better to take things slowly.

The best.

So Zhu Youxiao sent Li Chaoqin to live in Liaodong to convey the decree, and personally wrote a letter to Lu Xiangsheng.

Li Chaoqin first went to Gaizhou to declare the decree.

Zhu Youxiao first gave a reward of 500,000 yuan to the Guards soldiers, and then demanded that Gaizhou must be defended.

This was the bottom line.

If Hou Jin increased his troops to attack, Juehua Island would increase his troops to support them.

Then Li Chaoqin brought Liu Xingzhi to Fuzhou.

Li Chaoqin was now the eunuch of Bingbi.

Originally, it was not his turn to deliver orders.

Normally, he would just send someone casually, but Zhu Youxiao attached great importance to Liu Xingzuo's surrender.

There was something wrong, so he was sent there.

Liu Xingzuo was named the chief military officer of southern Liaoning and was in charge of the four prefectures covered by the Jin Dynasty.

Liu Xingzhi and others were all named generals or guerrillas, and they all followed Liu Xingzuo's orders.

Li Yangeng was appointed as the head of the Department of Chariots and Cleaning of the Ministry of War.

He was a sixth-grade civil servant.

Li Yangeng was very satisfied, not because of his official position, but because he was no longer in Liaodong, and he no longer had to fight against his father.

Liu Xingzuo was originally a third-class general military officer in Houjin, but now his official position remains the same after surrendering, and unlike when he was in Houjin, where anyone could bully him, he certainly has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

The task assigned to him by Zhu Youxiao was to mobilize Liao people to reclaim wasteland south of Fuzhou, especially south of Jinzhou, and required it to meet the needs of the Liaonan army itself.

Following Li Chaoqin came a large shipload of corn seeds, sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as old people guided by the Siyuan Bureau and various farm tools.

As long as Nanguan is defended, it is absolutely impossible for Houjin to send people to rob south of Jinzhou, so we should start reclamation south of Jinzhou.

Finally, Li Chaoqin came to Dongjiang Town.

Zhu Youxiao ordered Mao Wenlong to pay close attention to the movements of Hou Jin and report to the General Staff immediately if Hou Jin intended to invade North Korea.

Later, after Jin suffered setbacks in Haizhou and Tashanpu, Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai were reprimanded and punished by Nurhachi.

But Nurhachi could not attack Gaizhou for the time being, so he could only order Yue Tuo to guard Haizhou first and prevent the Ming army from going north.

In this way, when Liaonan went south, the offensive and defensive momentum of Ming and Jin changed, and Hou Jin had to worry about the Ming army attacking northward.

The Han people in Liaodong, instigated by Yang San and others, continued to flee southward from the places occupied by Hou Jin.

The number of people with different histories from the original ones now fled to Liaonan far exceeded those who fled to Dongjiang Town. number of people.

At this time, Wang Zaijin's important city was basically built.

The completion of the important city added a golden lock to the already impregnable Shanhaiguan.

The existence of the Second Division on Juehua Island made Hou Jin dare not go to Shanhaiguan from the Liaoxi Corridor.

Hou Jin was restricted from all three sides: southern Liaoning, western Liaoning and North Korea.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao stepped up to put the last shackles on Hou Jin.

He sent Shi Bangyao, a member of the Ministry of Industry, to Mongolia to negotiate with Lin Danhan.

After Shi Bangyao resigned, he first came to Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao.

Wang Xiangqian is over seventy years old and has experienced four dynasties.

He has been dealing with the Mongols all year round, so Shi Bangyao first came to ask him for advice.

Wang Xiangqian personally greeted him at the door of the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion in Miyun.

This was extremely rare for him in his seventies, and it was an even rarer honor for Shi Bangyao.

Shi Bangyao fell to the ground and stood up after seeing the ceremony.

He said, "I dare not trouble the prince to greet him personally.

I'm ashamed of myself."

Shi Bangyao was only in his thirties, and he could indeed be called a young man in front of Wang Xiangqian.

Wang Xiang smiled dryly and said, "I didn't come to see you because you are an imperial envoy.

It's just that I once heard that Er Tao is a person with divine help, so I came to see you at the door."

Shi Bangyao was once given a hard time by his superior, who ordered him to demolish a large house within five days, which would take at least a month to demolish.

However, on the fifth day, a strong wind suddenly blew down, and the big house was completely blown down.

The superior thought that he had divine help, so he did not dare to do so.

Make things difficult for him again.

Wang Xiangqian said this just as a joke.

In fact, Shi Bangyao was an upright person.

He neither flattered nor bullied subordinates, and he did not participate in the sectarian affairs.

Wang Xiangqian had always admired him, so he personally greeted him at the door.

After the two of them entered the room and sat down, Shi Bangyao explained his intention.

Wang Xiangqian thought for a while and said, "There is actually no secret to pacifying the captives.

The captives are greedy for profit and unjust, so they can only be driven away with profit."

Shi Bangyao said: "The prince has always advocated using silver to buy the heads of slaves.

So if a subordinate wants to use captives to control slaves, what should he do?"

Wang Xiangqian asked: "How did the emperor tell you?"

Shi Bangyao replied: "The emperor said, firstly, we must not lose our prestige; secondly, we must ensure that the Northern captives cannot be biased towards Jiannu; thirdly, we must make good friends with the Northern captives at the minimum price and let them exchange their heads for silver and grain."

Wang Xiangqian nodded and said: "Your Majesty is a wise man.

He first used the king to guard Shanhaiguan in Jin, then captured Liaonan and strengthened the Dongjiang River.

Now he sent you to contact the northern captives.

In this way, Jiannu will be crushed to death without us fighting.

As long as they can't get food, they will collapse

.

"

Shi Bangyao also nodded repeatedly: "That's true.

Now Jiannu's only option is to surrender."

Wang Xiangqian smiled disdainfully and said: "Please surrender, we have to be accurate.

Some ministers only know how to talk about benevolence and righteousness, but they didn't expect that benevolence and righteousness also have to be divided into objects.

Things like Jiannu are different from Mongolia.

If they ask for surrender, I just want to take a breath and then fight back.

If you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed.

This kind of thing must not be done. " Shi Bangyao said: "This emperor said that to establish a slave, you must completely surrender and then accept the adaptation.

It is impossible to imagine that."

Wang Xiang smiled dryly and said: "That's good, then I can rest assured.

When you go to the Northern Lu, you just need to follow the emperor's strategy.

I will find a few people who have been to Mongolia to accompany you.

It's bitterly cold in the north.

They I can take care of you. " Shi Bangyao thanked him profusely, and then took his guide to Huanxi Ridge, which is more than 400 miles away from Shenyang and is now the territory of the Mongols.

Lin Dan Khan is stationed here.

Lin Dan Khan, also known as Huduntuhan by the Ming Dynasty, was a Mongolian Khan, a direct descendant of Genghis Khan and the 7th grandson of Dayan Khan.

He is now thirty years old.

It’s just that he, the Great Khan, cannot make all Mongolians listen to him, because he changed the Yellow Sect that the Mongols have believed in for many years into the Red Sect.

In February this year, Sirhunak Dulenghongtai, the special minister in charge of 30,000 households on the left, Ji had a disagreement with Lin Dan Khan, so he led more than 3,000 households to Liaoyang City and submitted to Nurhachi.

He is currently integrating internally, so he does not have much interest in forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.

When Shi Bangyao explained the emperor's intention, he said: "There is only one Ming emperor in the southern dynasty, and I am the only one in the north.

How can I be king everywhere?

I should deal with the inside first and the outside later.

Therefore, I still will not get involved in the dispute with Hou Jin.

Come on
