Chapter 451: It is advisable to chase the poor pirates with the remaining courage
If you just want to live a life of one acre and three-point land.
Then it is useless to surrender the Jiannu people.
But if Emperor Tianqi had greater ambitions, then these Jiannu people would definitely become powerful tools.
The biggest advantage of the Donglin Army is its firepower.
With firepower, you can naturally be the only one in the world.
But the problem is that cavalry that can move quickly is also crucial.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji came and began to gather the surrendered soldiers, open a camp outside the city, and distribute weapons and war horses.
There are many war horses here, most of which are left by the defeated Jiannu people.
It's just at this time that everything has just begun.
Emperor Tianqi did not return to the palace, but immediately held a court meeting at Guangqumen.
The officials stood for a long time, and their legs were already sore and numb. Some sat on the steps and some leaned against the walls.
At this time, Huang Taiji was busy for a while and hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, I learned from Niulu, the Zhengbai Banner in Jiannu Guard that this time I entered the pass, bypassed Da'ankou and Xifengkou, and then went all the way to Santunying, to the Jizhou line, and then rushed to the capital. How could there be no movement in the 100,000 troops? There was almost no war along the way, and the whole way was unstoppable! These Niulu said that before the war, Dorgon sent a man named Shi Tingzhu to move in the Liaodong area first, especially in Jinzhou. Since then, their army began to move unobstructed."
"Shi Tingzhu is originally a Jiannu, but before my father raised an army, he had been serving the Ming army and surrendered to Jiannu. He had a close relationship with many Liao generals, so I predict that this time, he must have received the cooperation of the upper-level generals of Liaodong..."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi, and Zhang Jingyi said, "Yes, this matter is indeed strange. If you can cooperate with the Jiannu people in this way, you can easily cross the Songjin defense line and run to the capital. It can be seen that those who cooperate with Dorgon must be extraordinary people. This is definitely not just a small guard or an ordinary guerrilla general can do it. Your Majesty... Jiannu's problem still comes from Xiao Wall after all."
Emperor Aoki nodded: "So, how should I deal with it?"
This was asked by Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jing made a quick decision and said, "It is better to chase the enemy with the remaining courage. At this point today, it is imminent to plow the courtyard and sweep the cave. How can I continue to let go of my Ming Dynasty? The so-called raising a tiger is a disaster! In addition, the Liao generals only pay attention to their own interests in Liaodong and are silenced to our Ming Dynasty court. God knows what chaos will happen in the end. Liaodong is related to the safety of the capital. If the Ming Dynasty does not solve the problems of the Liao people in one day, I will be unstable in the Ming Dynasty!"
"So my advice is that now the desperate Dorgon of Jiannu's deceased force is defeated. He is as anxious as a dog that has lost his family. At this time, he should march immediately and attack Longcheng directly, and eliminate future troubles forever!"
As soon as Zhang Jing finished speaking, Cui Chengxiu immediately said: "Then what the Duke of Liao means is to pursue the Jiannu people? But the Jiannu people are fast..."
"It's not pursuing the Jiannu people, it's pursuing the deadly hard-working faction among the Jiannu people." Zhang Jingyi corrected him: "We cannot regard the Jiannu as a solid piece. If we think about it this way, then even if the Jiannu people are small, there are hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people, will we slaughter them all?"
This is what he said, as if he had just captured Jiannu's prisoners and shot them.
Choi Chengxiu's face was a little stiff.
Zhang Jingyi continued: "The Jiannu people also have good and bad, and the quality is mixed. Not to mention other things, there are strict restrictions on masters and slaves within them. Are the slaves who were enslaved by those upper-class nobles really together with them? Yes, their relationship between masters and slaves was stable in the past, but this was based on the fact that the nobles and their people were able to plunder land and wealth. The masters had meat to eat and gave them a bite of soup. But this does not mean that the relationship between masters and slaves was as stable as Mount Tai."
"They lost the foundation of plunder this time, and the nobles still had to enjoy the amount they should enjoy. If they could not grab others, they would oppress their slaves. If the slaves were exploited, they would have a two-minded heart. Therefore, if they did not divide the matter into two, they would be difficult to succeed."
Cui Chengxiu looked speechless, but he had the ability to spit himself out of his face. After all, he was Wei Zhongxian's godson, so he said: "Since that's the case, then the Duke of Liao thought, how should he pursue him?"
Zhang Jing said: "The Donglin Army can rest for a while and go north to exit the customs immediately. Your Majesty is the commander, and I am the deputy commander."
When all the ministers heard this, they took a breath.
Is this so great?
Doesn’t this mean… putting His Majesty in a dangerous situation?
But Zhang Jingyi obviously didn't think so.
Who will do such a great contribution if the emperor doesn’t do it?
So Zhang Jing said, "I heard from the ancients that the emperor is a strong army. If the emperor only knows that he is guarding the capital, and foreign enemies invade, but still trapped in the imperial city, how can the military and civilians in the world be willing to surrender? Now bandits are everywhere, Liao generals have ulterior motives, and countries have reformed the old and reformed the old and reformed themselves. So some people have made Franchise. With the Netherlands, even the Japanese country has begun to imitate the Netherlands and reform the military system. Today, our Ming Dynasty has accumulated many problems. It is precisely because people like Emperor Taizu Gao can overcome all obstacles and break through the old and establish the new, instead of following the perseverance here and indulging in endless internal struggles."
"Your Majesty is famous for defending the city today and personally taking over it, but that's not enough. If you take Longcheng directly and break through Shenyang, the world will be determined. Therefore, I think Your Majesty should be the commander. Our Donglin Army is willing to be the vanguard and attack with Your Majesty without regrets. The rest of the troops can be supported and advance together as side-by-side responses."
Many people couldn't understand Zhang Jing's words, but Emperor Tianqi could understand it.
At this point today, absolute reputation must be established.
Zhang Jingyi vaguely told him that European countries began to establish the authority of the central government in order to plunder each other.
First, a Frenchman named began to reform, deprive the princes of their privileges, cancel their fiefs, and carry out arbitrary rule, and began to become the hegemony of Europe.
The Englishmen also began to unify the chaotic government affairs in the country under the iron fist of a queen and began to get involved in the hegemony at sea.
In the far north, there are even more heroes, claiming to inherit the empire's mantle, changing the Principality of Moscow to Tsarist Russia, calling itself Tsarist, and constantly expanding its territory.
Not to mention the traditional Dutch and Francis.
Now that we want to reform and think about it, the emperor must establish authority and first suppress those who are ready to move.
Otherwise, it would be just a quagmire and eventually everyone would be decaying.
Emperor Tianqi said decisively: "This strategy is very good. If I do not eliminate the deadly hard-working factions of Jiannu, I will be uneasy in the end. Since this is the case, then I will personally lead the army to pursue the enemy, and with Dorgon, I will hunt Liaodong and fight against the male and female."
All officials want to persuade.
Emperor Tianqi glanced at everyone, then said coldly, "If anyone dares to persuade him, then he will send him to Liaodong. This is a national event, how can it be a joke? My Emperor of Ming Dynasty is worthless!"
"If it was valuable, would you still establish a new emperor like this when the emperor was captured? If it was valuable, why did I encounter unexpected problems in the palace? Who did this? Some of them were found out, some were not found out, but you repeatedly obstructed it. Could it be that I thought I didn't die fast enough in Liaodong and would have to die in the palace?"
These words are really ironic.
All the officials couldn't help feeling a little depressed and felt that they were shot while lying down. But at this moment, facing His Majesty with determination, he could only say in fear and fear: "I will die if I wait for thousands of people."
Emperor Aoki waved his hand and said, "Everyone is ready to go."
After drawing up a strategy, Emperor Tianqi returned to the palace, but ordered Zhang Jing to accompany him.
In the imperial carriage, Emperor Tianqi sat at the middle of the carriage, but ordered Zhang Jingyi to beside him.
Emperor Tianqi sighed and said, "This battle is really proud, but you are right. You should chase the enemy with the remaining courage. You must not be complacent, let alone let the Jiannu rekindle."
Zhang Jing said seriously: "Only by completely solving the Liaodong issue, Your Majesty's great talent can be used. Otherwise, if the Liaodong problem is not eliminated for a day, it will be like a thorn in your throat and be uneasy for a day. Your Majesty has such ambition, which is a blessing for all people."
"Is it really a blessing?" Emperor Tianqi looked up at him and said with a little self-deprecating self-deprecating: "I'm afraid it's also a bad luck for some people."
"So what?" Zhang Jingyi said: "Those who have accomplished great things have not been focused on minor matters. To this day, they either reorganize mountains and rivers or lose the world. The former is that some people eat less meat, while countless people starve to death. The former is a change that Your Majesty has not seen in a thousand years, while the latter is a king who has destroyed the country and a prisoner under the ranks. Your Majesty must see clearly which one is better or worse."
Emperor Tianqi agreed and nodded. The king and his ministers were in harmony with each other. So Emperor Tianqi said, "This time, the army is about speed. The Donglin Army must set out with me and your family immediately. Can they bear it?"
Zhang Jing said without hesitation: "As long as your Majesty gives orders, they will never complain like me."
Emperor Tianqi nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "Although the Jiannu people were injured this time, they still have strength! This time they are guests and we are the masters, but once they attack, the host and the guest will be changed, so they should not be taken lightly. It is crucial to ensure that the Donglin Army is sufficient to ensure sufficient supplies."
Zhang Jingyi said: "Your Majesty, why not send the continuous supply to Dongjiang Town by sea and then replenish it? With sufficient supplies, the Donglin Army can fight to the end no matter where it is."
Emperor Tianqi thought about it and said with a little surprise: "Sea transportation? Dongjiang Town?"
