Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Although the capital has made some preparations for the incoming Jurchen army. But when the Hou Jin army really came, the officials and generals in the capital were still shocked.
Along the way, Suksaha¡¯s Zhengbai Banner vanguard destroyed dozens of villages. Their sword wounds were stained with the blood of innocent people, and they could be said to have owed heavy blood debts.
However, killing so many people is not a big deal to Suksaha. In his opinion, weak Ming people are just lambs to be slaughtered, who are going to be killed by their Jurchen warriors.
Jurchen warriors need to use the blood of Ming people to show their glory and bravery.
Moreover, if Hou Jin wants to confront Ming Dynasty, then he must let Ming people know how powerful Hou Jin is. In this way, Mingren no longer dared to confront Houjin.
And if you want people to know this, killing is the most effective way.
The number of troops under Suksaha's command is not very large, only a mere 2,000.
But along the way, any Ming army they encountered basically did not dare to fight them, and almost ran away.
The courage of the Ming army has been completely shattered by their killing.
"These monarchs of the Republic of China are not as good as the people of some villages. Those people with simple weapons still know how to fight, but those Ming soldiers don't even have the courage to do so.
I have to say, this is very sad.
This time the Jurchens invaded with a total of 120,000 troops, which can be said to be half of the military strength of the Later Jin Kingdom.
And it was also their first time to pass through Liaodong and break into the Ming capital area.
The prosperity and wealth here opened the eyes of the invading Jurchens. It is precisely because of this that it arouses their bestiality even more.
How could the weak Akito own such rich land and wealth? All of this should belong to the brave Jurchen warriors.
With this idea in mind, the Hou Jin army marched forward with overwhelming force.
Suk Saha was the first Jurchen team to arrive at the outskirts of the capital, and there were many Jurchen teams that followed before they arrived in Tongzhou.
However, it won¡¯t take long to advance from Tongzhou to the capital.
Therefore, Suksaha is very confident.
However, because Suksaha advanced too fast, the two thousand cavalry led by him were unable to attack the capital.
The country of Ming Dynasty is not like those cities in Liaodong. The walls here are tall and thick, and the defenders and population are very large. It's definitely not something Suk Saha can break through with just two thousand people. If he wasn't an idiot, he wouldn't have made such a stupid decision.
Fortunately, the Ming people were frightened out of their courage. Even though they knew that Suk Saha and the others did not have many troops, the Ming troops in the city did not dare to go out to fight them.
You must know that according to rumors, these Jurchen barbarians from the Black Mountains and White Waters are demons who eat human flesh alive and drink human blood. It takes a lot of courage to fight against such a person.
The news of the Jin Jurchen cavalry approaching the city completely shocked the court.
Zhu Shangwu summoned ministers from various ministries to discuss the matter within two days. However, facing the lack of military pay and supplies in the DPRK, the ministers and cabinet ministers had nothing to do.
However, those Jurchens outside the city must always be dealt with.
After all, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is always surrounded by people like this, which is not the same thing.
How long ago did the Ming Dynasty actually become like this, bullied by the little northern barbarians.
When Zhu Ming founded the country, even the powerful Mongols were driven back to the desert. This shows how tyrannical Zhu Ming's military power was at that time.
But looking at it now, the Ming Dynasty has been so weak that even the Hou Jin Kingdom with a population of less than one million can bully it. I have to say that it is really ironic.
¡°If Lao Zhu was humble and knowledgeable, I don¡¯t know if he would jump out in anger.
The situation in Liaodong is dilapidated and has not yet been resolved.
But now the capital is also surrounded.
Hou Jin's Jurchen team gathered more and more, and gradually exceeded 80,000 troops.
This is almost half of Hou Jin¡¯s military strength for this invasion.
A total of 80,000 Jurchen cavalry were stationed outside the capital. The defenders were on top of the city. The Ming army looked at the Jurchen camp and felt terrified in their hearts.
Originally, Hou Jin dispatched a total of 120,000 people, of which 40,000 were left on the Liaodong side to intimidate the Ming people in Liaodong towns so that they did not dare to act rashly, and at the same time to guard a way back.
And the restThe 80,000 troops were divided into five groups, and after breaking through from Liaodong, they began to approach the capital.
Although Yang Fengyi, the governor of Liaodong, wanted to fight the Jurchens, all his troops had been lost after the battle at Yehuling. The remaining 30,000 defeated troops had no way to fight against the 40,000 Jurchens in Liaodong. Fighting.
What's more, now Yang Fengyi and his 30,000 defeated soldiers are still besieged in Guaizi City.
In other words, Yang Fengyi is now too overwhelmed to take care of herself and has no ability to restore the current situation.
However, in addition to Yang Fengyi, the total number of troops in various towns in Liaodong is as many as 200,000. If these armies are gathered together, they will not be without the power to fight.
With 40,000 Jurchen cavalry facing off against 200,000 Liaodong troops, the suspense of victory or defeat is not great.
But the problem is that except for Yang Fengyi in Liaodong who has the idea of ????fighting the Jurchens, the rest of the remaining town commanders have no such idea at all.
They all aim to preserve the number of troops in their hands, and then use this to blackmail the imperial court for military pay and make a fortune from it.
In other words, most of them have selfish motives.
In this case, things will not be easy to handle.
Forty thousand Jurchen cavalry came and went in Liaodong. The general soldiers stayed in their own territories and cities, and watched helplessly as the Jurchens massacred and plundered the villages and towns outside the city.
If they have the courage to fight with the Jurchens, let alone the outcome, at least it will prevent the Jurchens from being so unscrupulous in Liaodong, and at the same time, it will also prevent the Jurchens from being so direct. Launch an attack on the capital, because if they want to leave from the capital, they must go to Liaodong.
However, all this is just a hypothesis. In fact, no one in Liaodong dares to fight against the Jurchens. Therefore, this gave the Jurchens the courage to divide their troops and devote most of their troops to military operations against the capital.
Here in Liaodong, Huang Taiji only deployed 40,000 soldiers and horses as a containment, and also to guard their retreat here in Liaodong.
Once the attack on the capital side is frustrated, they can safely return to Houjin from Liaodong.
Of course, even if the military operation in the capital is not frustrated, they can still return home with a full load after some looting.
Huang Taiji¡¯s abacus was crackling, and it was all based on the tit-for-tat understanding between Hou Jin and Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years.
To the Jurchen leaders, the seemingly powerful Ming Dynasty was nothing more than a sheep in tiger skin.
¡°It just looks scary, but it¡¯s not the same thing at all.
Therefore, the Jurchens dared to establish a country in Liaodong and had a tit-for-tat confrontation with the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years.
Because the Jurchens have seen through the nature of the Ming Dynasty and the inner meaning of its strength or weakness.
Nurhaci was the first person to see through this, so he dared to raise troops with seventeen pairs of armor.
" Huang Taiji, who succeeded Nurhachi, was more cunning than Nurhaci and understood the nature of the Ming Dynasty better.
If Ming Dynasty was ever stronger, it would have happened in the past.
¡°At the moment, Daming is just a paper tiger. It looks scary, but that¡¯s all.
Only the Mongolian tribes and the Koreans still think that the Ming Dynasty was the once powerful country.
The Jurchens simply don¡¯t believe all this, because they have clearly realized this from the more than twenty years of confrontation with the Ming Dynasty.
On the surface, Ming Dynasty looks very powerful, but in fact, Ming Dynasty is completely different from the beginning.
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be the Jurchens' turn to jump up and down.
Of course, there is also a little bit of self-respect in the hearts of the commanders of the towns in Liaodong. Otherwise, they would not have been so nourished during the years after the establishment of the Later Jin Kingdom.
This person has a selfish heart.
It¡¯s just that these general soldiers didn¡¯t know that it was their selfishness that led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
Because there are Jurchens and the Later Jin Kingdom in Liaodong, the imperial court invests very heavily in Liaodong every year. The officials in the military towns in Liaodong also made a lot of money from the salary and materials issued by the imperial court.
As long as there are Jurchens here in Liaodong and the Kingdom of Later Jin exists, it is impossible for the imperial court to take any big action against the people and things in Liaodong.
Even if the military generals here in Liaodong did something unethical, the court wouldTing would also turn a blind eye.
If there were no Jurchens and the Hou Jin Kingdom, the imperial court would not invest so much every year.
By then, what else will these people eat?
Therefore, it is precisely under this kind of thinking that the officers in various towns in Liaodong watched the Jurchens slowly grow up and became able to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
¡°I have to say that there are some things behind this matter that are very thought-provoking.
Do the princes in the DPRK really not know?
No!
How could guys like those monkey spirits not know this?
It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t care about Liaodong.
Everyone thinks that the rise of Jurchens in Liaodong is just a case of ringworm, and it is not a big deal.
How many Jurchens can there be if they gather the power of a country?
Only hundreds of thousands of people.
" If the old, weak, sick, disabled and women are excluded from them, there will only be only a dozen or two hundred thousand men capable of fighting.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty, it has a population of tens of millions.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty court and all the adults never thought that Ming Dynasty¡¯s most serious problem was Hou Jin.
However, if history develops normally in the future, Hou Jin, who is looked down upon by everyone and considered a barbarian, will occupy the Central Plains and start the so-called "Qing Dynasty" that will rule for more than 200 years, which will also indirectly lead to the loss of the blood of the Chinese ethnic group. , used to being a slave (To be continued.
