Sixty military sticks, sixty military sticks went down, and Yang Guo completely fainted. Sun Chengzong's suppressed disgust for Yang Guo made him directly accuse Yang Guo of shaking the morale of the army and give him sixty military sticks.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Huang Gai was beaten, he was able to get out of bed within a few days and then command the battle. That was something only found in novels. After Yang Guo was beaten with sixty sticks, he couldn't get out of bed for more than a month.
Sun Chengzong achieved the effect of venting his anger on Yang Guo, and also achieved the effect of unifying the thoughts of the Ming army - no one has said a word to shake the morale of the army in front of Sun Chengzong, including Yang Guo who was lying on the bed.
Some people may think that Sun Chengzong should not be so angry. After all, Yang Guo is his favorite general. But the problem is that the influence caused by Emperor Chongzhen's hand was too great.
The perception of Yuan Chonghuan in the capital was not that bad originally, but once those rumors spread, almost everyone now thinks that Yuan Chonghuan deserves to die. This made Sun Chengzong very sad, and he transferred his resentment to Yang Guo.
This has nothing to do with character, it is simply because in Sun Chengzong's view, killing Yuan Chonghuan is also destroying the Great Wall, and the one who contributed the most was Yang Guo who spread those words.
As for whether Yang Guo was wronged, Sun Chengzong never thought about it, because he thought that there were only two of them present at the time. If Sun Chengzong didn't tell anyone, then only Yang Guo would.
When Chongzhen heard that Yang Guo was beaten, he also understood that there was a reason why he sent people to spread Yang Guo's words. So out of apology, Chongzhen sent people to comfort Yang Guo and took no other action.
After more than three months of preparations, the alliance of Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, Hou Jin Dynasty, and North Korea to attack Taiwan's Liaodong Army has officially been assembled.
The Ming Dynasty sent 360,000 troops, Mongolian Lin Dan Khan sent 120,000 troops, Hou Jin sent 80,000 troops, and North Korea sent 200,000 troops. A total of 760,000 troops were pressed against Liaodong from the four directions of east, west, south, and north.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? was a false report of the number of troops sent out. After false reports from all parties, the total strength of the four parties exceeded two million, which was really scary.
However, among the 80,000 troops dispatched by Hou Jin, only 20,000 Jurchens went there. The other troops were all Mongolians, not even a Han.
Huang Taiji's intention is obvious. If he can succeed this time, he will directly take back Liaodong. If it fails, it will consume the power of the Mongols in hand and eliminate internal instability factors. And even at this time, Huang Taiji still did not give up weakening the power of the other two Baylors. Among the 20,000 Jurchens participating in the attack this time, 10,000 were Amin's blue flags.
But apart from Huang Taiji, Lin Danhan and North Korea are really determined to overthrow Taiwan's rule in Liaodong. They have already set their greedy eyes on Liaodong's countless supplies.
"Hai Lanzhu, please send this confidential letter back to Taiwan by a special person!"
At this critical moment, Xiao Mingqian has to start his own layout. This time he will completely scare other forces near Liaodong so that they will never dare to harass Liaodong again, and strive for the opportunity for peaceful development in Liaodong for two or three years.
It has been two months since Hai Lanzhu came to Xiao Mingqian's side. In these two months, she has not mentioned a word about the marriage, and she has not seen Xiao Mingqian harass her in any way.
Although Xiao Mingqian looked at her with a hint of appreciation, what dismayed Hai Lanzhu was that Xiao Mingqian was not as eager as other men. Sometimes, Hai Lanzhu feels that his charm has weakened.
However, after getting to know each other in the past two months, Hailanzhu was very happy that Bumubutai was able to persuade Horqin to surrender. Because he holds Xiao Mingqian's secretary-like position, Hai Lanzhu has a relatively deep understanding of Taiwan's power.
Sometimes, he would follow Xiao Mingqian to inspect the deployment of armies in various places. Sometimes he would also inquire about the progress of mobilizing logistics supplies. Once, he even took a huge warship that Hai Lanzhu had never imagined to go to Jeju Island to arrange for the war. North Korea¡¯s combat arrangements. All of this made Hailanzhu feel extremely fresh, and at the same time he was extremely afraid of Taiwan's power.
Hai Lanzhu wrote a letter about everything he saw and heard, and then personally sent it to Xiao Mingqian for review. With Xiao Mingqian's permission, Hai Lanzhu sent the letter back to the Horqin Department.
After receiving Hai Lanzhu¡¯s letter, Zhai Sang went to Shenyang in person as soon as possible and asked Xiao Mingqian to allow Horqin¡¯s tribe to annex Liaodong. Firstly, he accepted Taiwan¡¯s order, and secondly, he also wanted to avoid the menacing forces coming from all sides.
Zhai Sang could ask for it, and of course Xiao Mingqian happily agreed. Because of Zhai Sang's awareness of current affairs, Xiao Mingqian appointed Sai Sang as the new 21st Cavalry.Division Commander, of course, these 21st Cavalry Division cannot be the clansmen of Zhaisang, but are cavalry divisions formed by the rebels from Dongjiang Town and various parts of Liaodong.
As for the Mongolian cavalry of the Horqin tribe, they were assigned to the other twenty cavalry divisions, completely dividing the armed forces of the Horqin tribe. Zhai Sang's subordinates were also assigned to various positions in Liaodong.
Although some people are dissatisfied with this, Zhai Sang does not feel this way. In addition to getting the position of commander of the cavalry division, he also got the right to use a huge pasture as a reward from Xiao Mingqian. Although that ranch is in Australia where Zhai Sang has never heard of it.
Furthermore, on the first day he entered the newly formed 21st Cavalry Division, Zhai Sang was completely conquered by the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Cavalry. In Zhai Sang's view, Taiwan can conquer the entire world with just these 21 cavalry divisions.
All of this was achieved through the push of two women, Bumu Butai and Hai Lanzhu. This forced Xiao Mingqian to admit that sometimes, in history, women could have an effect that hundreds of thousands of troops could not achieve in a single battle.
Hai Lanzhu took the secret letter Xiao Mingqian handed him and took a quick look. It turned out to be for the legendary Chief of General Staff. Not daring to delay at all, she immediately went out and passed the letter to the specialized department affiliated with the Governor's Mansion.
Just as Hai Lanzhu was rushing back, the director of the attendant's office, her immediate boss Sun Jiacheng, was leading more than thirty generals to the conference room, including his father Zhai Sang. Seeing this situation, Hai Lanzhu knew that a war was about to begin.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, our meeting has officially begun. There will be no records of today's meeting. You just need to remember the tasks you are responsible for. You are not allowed to share the content of the meeting with others. Reveal half a word."
Seeing that the main generals from both land and sea had arrived, Xiao Mingqian motioned to Sun Jiacheng to close the door of the conference room, and then said seriously.
