Chapter 170 North and South
Zhang Han held a piece of paper in his hand, and he looked over and over again, and the expression on his face was really colorful.
If this piece of paper in later generations was a precious historical document, it would take at least eight digits to sell, and it would definitely be qualified to go to Carains Spring Auction.
Chang Wei, Liang Xing, Li Congye, Wang Yikui, Li Laibin and others were also very rich in expressions.
This thing was removed from the sound arrow shot from the Ming army whistle of Fushun Guan Ming on the 24th. The armored soldiers on the border did not dare to neglect and quickly sent to Hetura. After repeated confirmation by three Jurchen scholars Kurchan Gaelde and Shifu, it was finally confirmed that the letter was indeed written by Yang Hao's aides, and it was indeed covered with the guards of the army. What can be confirmed is the letter written by the army Yang Hao to Nuerhaci.
Yang Hao put on an airs of supervising the army in the letter and scolded Nuerhaci. This is not surprising. Even if you want to fight, it does not prevent you from using this psychological tactic first. What surprised Zhang Han the most was that as recorded in history, Yang Hao told Nuerhaci the route and time of his advancement in this letter. Although the time was March 15, since the letter came, the fool knew that the Ming army was coming soon.
The strangest thing is that the four-way attack was changed to the eighth-way attack, and then the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were blew into 490,000.
Of course, no one from the Jurchens believed this number. If the Ming Dynasty really had the ability to transfer more than 400,000 soldiers, Nuerhaci would not say nonsense like "Whatever he came, I will only go all the way." It was serious to run to the Tungus ice field. At this time, the Ming army was not yet after the mid-term Chongzhen period, and there was no military discipline or kingly laws. The generals would run away as soon as they wanted. Now even if the general escaped, they had to consider the consequences. The consequences of demotion and house scouting and beheading were waiting. Wanli was in power for more than 40 years, and the Ming army's system of using literature to control martial arts was still intact. Liao Town had not really become a vassal state, and other military towns were even more impossible. If there were indeed a Ming army with 490,000 capable of fighting in the field, even if the pig came to serve as the supervisor, he would definitely win.
Of course, Nuerhaci was also strange. Why didn't the Ming army transfer more troops? In the future, Zhang Han also saw that the Ming army had been using oil-adding tactics to fight the Later Jin Dynasty. Sarhu lost many brave generals and 60,000 to 70,000 people, including Yehe's troops and the North Korea. Xian was beaten up. Not long after, Yehe was finished and a firm ally was missing. Then he dispatched troops again, with another 100,000 troops stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang. Then he was wiped out by the Later Jin Dynasty. Still the deaths were still
The elite combat experience and brave generals like He Shixian came down again in the Battle of Guangning, and about 100,000 were transferred. Among them, there were not enough border troops with combat experience. As a result, they were swept away again. They were snatched hard by the Later Jin Dynasty in western Liaoning. Then the Ming army fell into a defensive situation. When the Battle of Ningjin, Hong Chengchou led troops to rescue Jinzhou, but in the end, there were more than 100,000 people. They were the last elite troops of the Ming army, including the most loyal and brave Qin army, and then swept away again...
Now Zhang Han has already understood that it is not that the Ming Dynasty did not want to gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight. If Sarhu's battle was underestimated by the Later Jin Dynasty, going back can only show that with the current logistics and national finance of the Ming Dynasty, it can only mobilize so many soldiers at a time. Even if there are more than 100,000 people, it is a burden that the national treasury cannot bear... I have to say that the intelligence of the Later Jin Dynasty is very good.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page). Yang Hao asked to postpone the dispatch of troops many times, and the Ming Dynasty urged the use of troops many times. These things were known by the Later Jin side, and even more than 100,000 people could not afford it. How could the Ming army really mobilize 490,000 troops to Liaodong?
As for the time when the Ming Taizu and Chengzu sent troops, hundreds of thousands of people were sent, which is a long-standing myth...
Yang Hao's letter was similar to the myth in Zhang Han's eyes. Before sending troops, he wrote to his opponent and told his opponent that he was coming to fight. No matter how Yang Hao thought about this, in Zhang Han's eyes, it was an imaginary behavior.
"Brother Han, no wonder people say that the meat eater is despised. I know why now." Chang Wei has no idea how mature he has been half a year ago. In the past few months of winter, Zhang Han brought him by his side, either reading books or talking about things. Chang Wei's progress can be described as a thousand miles a day.
Liang Xing and others have also made a lot of progress. Whether it is arithmetic, geometry, drawing, military, miscellaneous, or Mongolian and Jianzhou Jurchens... Even if a pig is in a language environment like Hetuala, it can be learned. Moreover, Liang Xing and others were originally the top people selected by Zhang Han. Now they are learning Jurchens, and even if they listen to them in person, there will be no flaws. They are no different from the native Jianzhou Jurchens.
As you learn more, you will see more.
In the past few months, the Jurchen side and the Ming side have opened their eyes to the outpost battle to mobilization before the war, and all the actions of the Jurchen side, against the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia. All of this has opened their eyes to these people.
It can be said that even the current group of generals in the Ming Dynasty may not be able to know the Jurchens, Mongolia, and the Ming Dynasty as well as the group of people in front of us.
"Yang Hao is so stupid."
"He may be trying to be fooled by the fact that he is stupid in studying."
"Even if you cheat others, don't be so clear. A fool can tell that he is going to send troops. How can he not be more vigilant?"
"In the words of our boss, strategy and tactics should be viewed separately, but from the perspective of strategy alone, our Supervisor Yang is also worried about lard."
"It's a bad thing!" Li Congye said angrily, "Shi Shuai Qi never used an arrow to shoot his plan to the Japanese slaves. He knew that although he was a great army to the Northern Barbarians, he hoped that the Northern Barbarians would fight, but he had done enough kung fu in advance, trained troops, and paid real wages. When Shi Shuai was in Ji Town, how much did he build the beacon tower and the hollow enemy platform? There were also chariot formations, chariot camps, muskets, cannons. If you did enough kung fu, you wouldn't be afraid of how much you came. That would be honest and domineering with power. Now, it's better. I'm a bad guy. I hope to scare the elite soldiers of many battles with letters. The old slave who has fought for decades is really broken!"
Zhang Han looked at Li Congye and smiled and said, "Wang Changfu is also from Zhejiang soldiers, right?"
"Yes." Li Congye nodded and said, "It's a bit troublesome here. Changfu's father went to the court with the army in the 20th year of Wanli. In the Xian period, he was also one of the people who followed Vice General Luo to the city first. Later, the Northern Army snatched the merits. Changfu's father cut off several Northern Army people in a while without anger, and later hid in the army.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I dare not show up. Later, Deputy Luo transferred them to Shenji Camp, and Changfu's father died. Changfu refused to accept it that night in Ji Town. He was discovered by his enemies back then, so he could only be a deserter. Our Southern Army was born in Ji Town and became increasingly difficult to resist. Later, Changfu came out and I took the opportunity to join the boss."
"So that's it." Zhang Han nodded, and had a clear understanding of Wang Changfu's origin.
Li Congye talked about the famous Southern Army and Northern Army's struggle for merit during the Japanese turmoil in the Iron Chen. When attacking Pyongyang, Xiaoxi commander had more than 30,000 people, all of whom were elite Japanese troops and defended by the city. You can imagine how difficult it was to attack. The Ming army only had the advantage of artillery, and the cavalry of the Northern Army was also very powerful. But when they were defending the city, you can't use cavalry to climb the city. At that time, the Southern Army was brought out by Qi Jiguang. He was brave and skillful, with many tactics, and bullets in the forest of guns.
Under the rain, Luo Shangzhi was killed in a bloody battle. He had a long halberd in his mouth and climbed up the city as a general. He was hit by the Japanese army with a musket in his chest. He was still supervising the battle at the top of the city. The generals of the main army were like this, so how could they talk about soldiers? More than 600 elite soldiers of the Southern Army continued to seize the city. Later, the generals of the Northern Army came up to compete for their merits. The first merit was not on Luo Shangzhi's head, but was stolen by the Northern Army generals. Luo Shangzhi fought bloody battle and only received a reward of twenty taels of silver.
This incident was too dirty by the Northern Army, and it was also the beginning of Liao Town's troops and horses who were trying to trap allies later. It can be said that it was a very bad precedent. The experience of Wang Changfu and his son was just a small wave in the tide of history.
"The Northern Army is actually a mess..." Li Congye started out, but there was no taboo. The main reason was that at this time, everyone understood that Zhang Han was not only interested in business, but also began to pay strong attention to military and national affairs. Even Zhang Han would manage his own force just like Yu Sheng. Many people vaguely thought of this level.
As troubled times are approaching, everyone must protect themselves, let alone a strong person like Zhang Han who has ambitions, skills and abilities?
"Owner," at this time a stud came in and reported: "There is a lot of noise outside, and the Jurchens seem to have begun to mobilize."
"Do you want to fight East Road first?"
Zhang Han also felt strange. After the 27th day, the news came that the East Road had already discovered the movement of the large Ming army attack. As a result, Nuerhaci explained that the army was intending to lure the main force of the Eight Banners to the East Road. He decided to send 500 troops to the Abudaligang area to deploy defenses, and delay the speed of the Ming army's advance by blocking the road and harassing small groups of people. It is expected that although Kuandian all the way to send troops first, as long as it delays properly, it may be the last one to arrive on the battlefield.
Today is the last day of February. The atmosphere in Hetuala has become very tense. Armored flag soldiers patrolled everywhere. When they encounter idle people, they will scold and stop them. Zhang Han and others can gather together to chat, mainly because they are too cautious outside and Zhang Han's identity is not convenient to walk at will.
Everyone stood up suddenly and walked out together.
Tan Tai's house is actually not big, it's just a tile house and a fire pit. However, the advantage is that he lives on the edge of the inner city. Hetulala was originally built in a higher terrain. The more he went inside, the higher the terrain, everyone walked out the door and found that the entire wooden city had almost survived in the blink of an eye.
