I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Arrows rained down from the sky, but at this time most of the Eight Banners cavalry were in heavy armor, and suffered very limited casualties.

Nurhachi retreated a few steps and ordered the banners to attack.

The reason why only 4 or [-] people were brought out this time was actually because of Nurhachi's self-esteem.

He deliberately selected strong and battle-tested veterans, with the intention of defeating the Bayan tribe of Inner Kharkha Mongolia on the grassland with a numerical disadvantage, and also asked the rest of the Mongolian tribes to see that although Dajin was defeated, he still There are 3 people who can destroy a large part of the strength.

In fact, this is really the case. The victory in the Battle of Liaodong was the final result of Zhu Xieyuan taking advantage of the geographical advantage and the strategies of all parties, rather than the Houjin who was defeated by a direct fight.

For example, Wang Wei, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou who was good at fighting, sprinkled blood on the battlefield, and was the only general of the commander-level who died in this battle.

Although it was because Gaodi, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, did not reinforce in time, in fact, the number of Ming troops was not much smaller than that of Houjin at that time, but they were at a complete disadvantage.

In the final analysis, there is still a fundamental gap in individual combat effectiveness.

Now the Mongolian Bayan tribe wants to take advantage of the number of people to fight against the Eight Banners cavalry led by Nurhachi, and the result is obvious.

In less than two hours, the "Eight Banners Warriors" after the defeat in Liaodong swept away the situation and shot and killed Nang Nuke, the leader of the Bayan tribe, in the melee.

As soon as Nang Nuke died, the Bayan tribe lost the determination to continue fighting in an instant. In addition, the Eight Banners Army of the Houjin Army had gone crazy, and the Bayan cavalry quickly broke into an army and retreated in all directions.

After this battle, the morale of the Eight Banners Army was slightly boosted, which achieved Nurhachi's first goal, but he did not intend to stop there.

He wanted to completely wipe out the Bayan tribe to warn the rest of the Mongolian tribes.

Nurhachi didn't stop, and continued to move forward with his troops, attacking the Bayan tribe who died because of Nang Nuke, who was already in a mess.

Due to the relatively large sphere of influence of the Bayan tribe, even if the main force had already been defeated by the Eight Banners Army in the first battle, follow-up pursuit would be enough to delay time.

Of course, Nurhachi never expected that the Bayan tribe would be so vulnerable.

At the end of July, with the victory in the first battle, the news of the shooting and killing of the leader of the Bayan tribe, Nang Nuke, spread to the rear, and the Houjin country was considered to be stable.

Many princes and princes Baylor who had been dissuaded and hesitated before also led their subordinates to Neikalkha to beat the dog in the water.

In fact, this is also a way for the Eight Banners Army after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Liaodong to regain their confidence in this battle and vent their depression over the past few months.

……

When the news reached the pass, Sun Chuanting, who was packing his things in Shanhaiguan and preparing to go to the capital, was also taken aback.

He previously estimated that the Bayan tribe could last at least a month, but he did not expect that the first battle would completely collapse.

After carefully reading the Tang newspaper, Sun Chuanting also felt that such a result could be achieved, which is understandable.

Although the Bayan Tribe was strong and strong, its leader Nang Nuke made a big mistake in the initial battle, that is, he led the main force of the tribe to face Nurhachi head-on.

It's good that Nangnuk didn't die, but he was shot to death by Jiannu in the first battle.

In this way, the rest of the Mongolian army of the Bayan tribe must have panicked and talked about resisting Jiannu.

If things go on like this, the Bayan tribe is estimated to be completely conquered by Jiannu in less than half a month. By then, the five major tribes in Nekhka will become four major tribes, and the remaining four tribes will definitely carve up the territory of the Bayan tribe. He is the first to look forward to Jiannu.

Although the Eastern Front regained Liaodong, the surrounding situation did not change with the victory of the Liaodong War. Horqin led the various tribes on the eastern wing, as well as Inner Kalkha Mongolia.

But then again, if he can successfully defeat Lindan Batur this time, at least Daming will open up the situation in the West Wing.

The left-wing tribes, Monan Mongolia, and the three guards in the north of Saibei will also follow the retreat of the Chahar tribe. Without the pressure from the western front, Ming only needs to deal with the eastern captives in the east.

Therefore, the key now is whether he can defeat the mighty Chahar Department.

You know, the Chahar Department is not Uziyet's soft persimmon that can only produce tens of thousands of troops. This is the direct headquarters of the Golden Family. It is known as the largest department in Mongolia today, mobilizing 10,000+ cavalry Still not a problem.

Until now, Sun Chuanting still couldn't figure out why the current emperor would suddenly think of himself in such an important battle.

Chapter 512 Called by the platform

Sun Chuanting can be said to be a model of a late bloomer.

In the 47th year of Wanli, Sun Chuanting was elected at the age of 26. At that time, he was the magistrate of Yongcheng County. He was known for his outstanding political achievements.

Zhu Youxiao's thinking at the time was that he could not wait for the historical node where Sun Chuanting made his fortune during the Chongzhen period, and wanted to use his advantage as a time traveler to cultivate this trump card in advance.

Facts have proved that Sun Chuanting's ability to leave such a great reputation in history naturally has his real skills.

Before, Zhu Youxiao wanted him to practice more at the grassroots level, but now it seems that there is almost no need for it. No matter when Tianqi formed the Qin Army in Yulin in the first year of Tianqi, or he is currently serving as a soldier in Shanhaiguan, Sun Chuanting's political achievements have always been impressive. attention.

Yulin is the place where the most generals gather in the world, and there are also the most veterans there, which often cause headaches for governors and important officials in many places.

Sun Chuanting went, and it took less than a year to establish prestige in Yulin and form the basic base of the Qin army.

The soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan were previously commanded by Gaodi, and they served as a reserve force during the Liaodong War. It was precisely because the support of this army and horses was not timely that the chief soldier of Jizhen, Wang Wei, died in battle.

Facing such a disorganized army, Sun Chuanting still did not disappoint.

During the four years from the first year of Tianqi to June of the fourth year of Tianqi, although he has not had much reputation, Zhu Youxiao's Jiaoshifu has been secretly observing.

Sun Chuanting played steadily, and with Zhu Youxiao's special support, he gradually improved, but his personality was still the same, extremely stable, which made people feel at ease.

In the situation of Ming Dynasty, one cannot completely expect Zhu Xieyuan to go south to fight north. When the fire brigade is similar to the one in the Chongzhen period, it still has to rely on other talents.

Sun Chuanting is the one that Zhu Youxiao cares about.

……

"Hoo ho ho..."

Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes, a group of dusty riders from Shanhaiguan stopped in front of a family's yard.

This is a small house, the residence of Sun Chuanting's family in the capital.

From the outside, this military "mansion" in Shanhaiguan, which Emperor Apocalypse placed high hopes on, is not as good as some slightly affluent people, but it is simple and tidy.

A tile-roofed house and a modest courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, a woman in rough cloth was hammering and washing clothes. This was Sun Chuanting's first wife, Mrs. Zhang.

On the street, Sun Chuanting, dressed in a brand-new official uniform, arrived on flying horse with several entourages.

Sun Chuanting and his entourage got off their horses at the door, looked around at the door, looked at the virtuous wife, and felt warm in their hearts. Before they could say anything, they saw Mrs. Zhang's unbelievable eyes.

"master?!"

Zhang's exclamation immediately turned into a shout of excitement.

"The master is back, the master is back!"

Zhang was in a trance and didn't dare to confirm, he didn't have time to put down the wet clothes in his hand.

Sun Chuanting let go of the horse's reins, came to Mrs. Zhang, asked her to look carefully, and said with a smile: "I got the imperial decree from Shanhaiguan, and I want to face you on the platform, so I will come back to see you."

"Platform Miansheng, this is a rare honor. I never thought that I, Sun Chuanting, would finally get it at the age of 30..."

Sun Chuanting's face was full of anticipation and excitement, but he didn't notice Zhang's gradually dimming eyes.

She could tell that although the person in front of her was at home, her thoughts were all on the side of the emperor in the Forbidden City.

But Mrs. Zhang could understand, after all, his master had always wanted to serve the country, and what he said day and night was to be loyal to the emperor.

Sun Chuanting chose the path of imperial examination background because it was convenient to go out and do business, but not to join the officialdom. Like those vulgar officials, you fight with each other.

So in the first year of Zhongju, he resolutely cast his pen and joined the army.

"I know, these years, I first went to Yongcheng and Yulin, and then went to Shanhaiguan. After getting married, I didn't even go back home a few times. It's hard for you."

Sun Chuanting held Zhang's weak shoulders, stared into her eyes, and said as seriously as possible.

Hearing this sentence, it seemed that the suffering of the past four years was all worth it. Zhang's tears fell, and she tried not to cry, nodded and said:

"I know, I know, Master has great ambitions..."

"No, it's not that I have great ambitions." Sun Chuanting came into the room with his arms around Mrs. Zhang, and pressed her against the bronze mirror without any explanation, and said:

"It's this world, it's already terminally ill and dying."

Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to be interested in these things, so she suddenly turned around and asked, "Master, how many days will you stay in the capital when you come back this time?"

"I'm so ready to..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting looked at the shabby home, sighed, hesitated for a while, and said bluntly:

"No need to prepare, let's go tonight and go directly to Datong."

Zhang was taken aback.

"So fast, did His Majesty arrange something important for you?"

Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said with a smile:

"It's a big thing I've always wanted to do. I didn't expect His Majesty to trust me. I still need to make preparations in case I enter the palace to face the saint."

Mrs. Zhang endured for a while, then said:

"Then...the master prepares, I will cook for the master."

Sun Chuanting nodded, silently looking at Mrs. Zhang's back, feeling sore in his heart, but in an instant, his old high ambitions rose again.

Alas, it still hurt her after all.

……

In the evening, before the sun has completely set, the ladies and eunuchs in the palace laugh and begin to change their guards. This time is the happiest time of their day.

If you are on duty in each palace, if you don't pay attention, you will make mistakes. It is understandable outside, but here is the palace, and any mistakes will be fatal.

If the one above is not happy, he will occasionally kill someone directly.

"Hey, have you heard that His Majesty is going to summon ministers on the platform again tonight."

Xiao Xie, the supervisor of the Zhidian who was transferred to the Huangji Palace to watch the night, just stood at the door, and seeing no one around, he couldn't help muttering.

"The platform summons, this is the second time in this dynasty!"

"Who is it this time?"

The two maids were feeling bored, and when they heard the words, they also became gossips.

"It has been spread in the palace these days. It is not the governor of Shanshan who led the troops out of the customs, but a man named...what is his name?"

In addition, the maid also thought for a long time, and before she could answer, she saw someone in a red official uniform walking steadily on the corridor in the distance.

She quickly shrank her neck, and whispered to the rest of the people:

"No, here it is, this Sun Chuanting."

Several people also knew the solemnity at this time, so they hurriedly kept silent, but Shui Ling's eyes still neatly projected towards the person who came.

Sun Chuanting raised his head and forgot to take a look around the main hall, suddenly felt the majesty of the royal family.

He came outside the Huangji Hall, bowed and saluted, and said loudly:

"The minister, Sun Chuanting, has come to face the saint by order, long live your majesty—"

Chapter 513 The General Disagreement

"come in."

Zhu Youxiao's voice was transmitted from the hall to the outside, still resounding.

Watching Sun Chuanting enter the hall steadily, after saluting, Zhu Youxiao put down the book in his hand, motioned to the side to set up a seat, and said with a smile:

"In February of this year, Xilu knocked on the border. I also asked Aiqing about the strategy to retreat from the enemy. At that time, what Aiqing said was very in line with my wishes. Now Xilu captives more than [-] border people and threatens to form an alliance."

"What I mean is to stop signing the useless covenant with the Western Captives and send a large army out to beat them up. Ai Qing thinks now is the time to go to war?"

Sun Chuanting didn't dare to peek at Tianjia Shangyan, bowed his head and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think this is indeed a good opportunity to go out."

"However, in my humble opinion, this battle should not be dragged on for too long. It would be best to end it within seven months. Just like Jiannu's attack on Bayan, the first battle severely defeated the Chahar Tribe and the Monan Allied Forces."

"At that time, the DPRK and China will use the policy of diplomatic relations to divide and disintegrate the tribes of the Western Captives. This war will be resolved as quickly as possible, and the tribes of the Western Captives will bow their heads to our court."

Zhu Youxiao kept nodding.

In fact, calling Sun Chuanting over this time, one is to ask him how to fight this battle, and he has a solid mentality as an emperor, and the other is to create momentum for Sun Chuanting.

Although Sun Chuanting has been deliberately trained for four years, his experience as an official is still shallow.

The reason why Wen Tiren was able to join the cabinet after returning to the court after implementing the new salt law is that he had been an official for more than ten years before the earthquake relief and the implementation of the salt law, and he had the power and reputation to support him at the local level.

With these things as a foundation, it was very easy for Zhu Youxiao to arrange for Wen Tiren to join the cabinet or something else, and there were very few objections from the court.

Even if there are voices of opposition, the support forces behind Wen Tiren will play a role.

But Sun Chuanting is different. Sun Chuanting was only elected in the 47th year of Wanli, and he has only been an official for four years.
