360 Internal Contradictions in the Guan Ning Army
The news of Zu Dales victory was soon learned by Hauge. Hauge had a bad temper, and Huang Ama, whose prestige was greatly damaged this time, had to win beautifully - but this time Zu Dashou seemed to have learned Liu Baiyu's tactics
Some tactics of using troops, the combat effectiveness of personal soldiers is not inferior to that of Manchuria's elite.
Rui Baijia, the average Guan Ning army is also close to the level of Manchurian soldiers. The Manchurians did not gain much advantage in head-to-head confrontation. If Huang Ama hadn't used the method of building a city outside the city and turning defense into offense, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been easy.
Only then did he force Zu Dashou to surrender - but he returned in vain.
If that is true, it will be a catastrophe both publicly and privately. As far as the public is concerned, the Han people are a hundred times more powerful than the Manchus. Once the myth of Manchu invincibility established by Nurhaci with great difficulty is broken, no one in the Han people will be afraid of the Manchus anymore.
, even if Huang Taiji used his troops like a god, and the Ming generals were as stupid as dogs, and the casualty ratio reached ten to one, and they won great victories again and again, Manchuria would only end in defeat.
Personally speaking, if Huang Taiji Hauge and his son continue to fail, I am afraid that the Manchu emperor system will return to the Council of Political Kings - I heard that the reckless man in Ertai, Mongolia, did quite a good job in recruiting Jurchens and Mongolian refugees to herd sheep.
good……
"Master, have mercy! For the sake of my sweating and sweating for many years, there is still hard work without credit..." Niulu Zhangjing was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kept kowtowing. There was a pool of dark red blood on the ground.
"You useless slave! Hundreds of elite white armors are all the flesh and blood of our two yellow flags. If you throw them away like this, you won't be able to forgive even if they are scratched!" Hauge was so angry that he immediately pulled out his sword without using a whip.
Smoked!
"Stop! This time they lost too many elites. They should have been executed, but they still blocked the elites of Guan Ning's army! The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so let's give them twenty lashes..."
Blocked the elite of Guan Ning's army! Are the merits and demerits equal? If the person who said this was not his beloved Huang Ama, Hao Ge would have spit on this person's face. Zu Dashou had already decided to surrender, and Niu Lu Zhangjing was just
He went to hunt Caogu, but he failed to take advantage of it and suffered huge losses. He even made an extravagant mistake and almost caused trouble for Zhao Jiang Zu Dashou. Such an idiot will not be able to get rid of his hatred no matter how hard he kills him!
However, over the years, Hauge firmly believed in Huang Ama's foresight. He waved his hand and asked his bodyguard to drag Niu Lu Zhangjing down and give him twenty lashes, and then asked Huang Ama for advice.
"You kid, you have to remember the saying of the Han people, don't be stupid, don't be deaf, don't be a family man, not everything has to be serious." Ever since Huang Taiji took the magic medicine, his health is still getting worse day by day.
, but his energy and energy were much better, and he was no longer suffering from coughing all day long. The uninformed Manchu nobles thought that he was cured. Only Huang Taiji himself knew that he didn't have a few years left - he had to be there within a few years.
Teach Hauge well, otherwise this straight-minded child will not be able to do well without him.
"The Han people also have a saying, which is that cultivating a carbuncle will lead to a disease!" Hauge said unconvinced.
"You are just applying it mechanically. So what if Zu Dalue can fight? He has no cavalry. He is Han. No matter how well-trained the infantry is, it can only defend. If it is far away from the Han city, this move of cutting off the food road will be effective.
This leaves the famous Han generals without any recruits."
"But Ama, the Zu family is very rich. If we devote all our efforts to support Zu Da Le, and the traitor Battle appears on the grassland and builds some kind of golden castle, we will not be able to control the horses..." Hauge
asked in confusion.
"Hahaha! Do you think the Han people are us Manchus? Respect those who are capable? The Han people pay attention to the order of elders and young ones. Although the ancestor's family is very rich, if they devote all their efforts to support the ancestor's great joy, what will happen to the ancestor's longevity? Let him
Do you want power but not glory and wealth? You have to remember that although the Han people claim to be civilized
Ming, despise me as a barbarian people in Manchuria. In fact, the civilization of the Han people has long entered a dead end and cannot tolerate good generals. Many times, if we cannot defeat it, the Han people themselves will help us defeat it. Besides, do you think
If Manchuria really falls, will our ancestors live a good life?"
"But Huang Ama, don't we want Zu Dashou to surrender? If so..."
"Zu Dashou surrendered? That's just the leader of the Zu family. After all, the millions of silver in Liaodong's salary in the Ming Dynasty are not what we in Manchuria can afford. Don't take it seriously..." Huang Taiji said with a smile.
History is not a simple drama, where black faces and white faces are so clear, and as an interest group, it cannot be decided by one or two leaders - in fact, economics determines politics, and politics determines military affairs. I want to know more about the Guan Ning Group.
We must first analyze the interest structure of the Guanning Group and the Guanning Group. First of all, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's small fiscal policy, the main income of the Ming army was not military pay but rewards and farmland income. The generals of the Ming Dynasty and the modern sense
Generals are very different. What they control is not the army, but military households and military villages. They can be understood as landlords (I think they are similar). They completely control the output of their own military villages, and theoretically based on this output
Maintain an army.
However, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, the ordinary guardsmen were only used for auxiliary troops and suppressing bandits, while the elites were the personal soldiers of the major princes - but as modern people know, there are only three consequences of enfeoffing kings.
It was the central government that completely weakened the kings and concentrated
Quan, this is the Han Dynasty that quelled the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms. Second, the authority of the central government was lost, and the feudal kings' melee led to foreign invasions or the rise of other forces. This was the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the five chaos in China. The third was the rebellion of the feudal kings to seize the central government. This
It’s me, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty.
After King Zhu Di rebelled and seized the central government, he naturally had to relieve the military power of the vassal. Then with the rise of civilian officials, the situation of the frontier army worsened. Coupled with the huge problems of agricultural production during the Little Ice Age, the output was often insufficient in the late Ming Dynasty.
In order to allow them to maintain a regular army, this output can only satisfy the generals' landowner careers and the military households' food and clothing, and can only support a group of thugs (i.e. servants). According to the Ming Dynasty
During the war, the court only paid the troops, equipment, food and equipment. And these things were not directly sent to the army, but were often distributed along with things.
Also rising were the civil servants and eunuchs. This was the Ming court's method of restricting warlords. So for the Guan Ning Group, if they wanted to get more wealth and benefits, what could they do?
1. To increase the yield per unit of land, under the climate of the Little Ice Age and low productivity, this method is not very realistic in a relatively single agricultural society.
2. Stealing more wealth from military households. This military household is almost better than a beggar. All the soldiers have gone to work as coolies, and all the military family members have gone out to work as prostitutes. Apart from such unscrupulous things as selling human organs, there is really no such thing as selling human organs.
There was no way to squeeze out more oil - the problem was that no matter how ruthless you were in those days, you didn't have the technology, right?
3. Obtaining military merit is a bit natural. In the army, of course, the merit will be obtained immediately. However, this is a technical job, and it is not as simple as asking for money or withholding pay. Moreover, the enemy will not always fight, but always have It would be even harder to win if you keep fighting, not to mention that if you keep fighting and still win, you will be jealous of the court. Li Chengliang knows how to be a good man, and is he ruthless enough? What will be the end? To be honest, between the Ming Emperor and In the eyes of civil servants, there is no difference between these soldiers and dogs. If there are thieves and they can protect the family, they will be given meat. If there are no thieves, they will fend for themselves [including soldiers doing hard labor and military relatives working out to sell themselves]. If they can threaten the owner, they will be killed directly. .
4. This is the method adopted by the Guanning Group in reality. First of all, it must be in a state of war, which was indeed the case in western Liaoning at that time. In this way, the imperial court needs to pay, distribute grain, and issue equipment to the Guanning Group (tentatively referred to as War subsidies). However, war subsidies often come with civil servants and military supervisors. If you want to get war subsidies without having to go all out, this skill is very important. It is best to maintain a low-intensity war state - -That is to say, building fortresses in Liaodong - but no matter how good the skills are - it still requires the cooperation of civil servants and supervisors.
However, in the system of the Ming Dynasty, the nobles and the military were inferior, and the generals were no more than slaves compared with the civil servants at the same level. So how did Guan Ningjun deal with the governor who was a first-class civil servant and held a Shangfang sword?
In fact, this is simple. Civil servants are not monolithic. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang played a low-salary system. Civil servants can only engage in side jobs. Is it just tax evasion? After all, not all businesses are as developed as Jiangnan and Shanxi. In fact, the Ming gentry is also Being tax-exempt, officials had no choice but to pay for military pay - that is to say, because of common interests, many civil servants actually formed interest groups with the Guanning Group.
Among the successive supervisors of Liaodong, Wang Zaijin and Gao Di can be cited together as saying that the relationship between these two people and the Guanning Group is not good. Why? Because their attitudes towards Liaoxi are inconsistent with the fundamental interests of the Guanning Group. They think Western Liaoning was undefendable and the cost was too high. It was believed that Western Liaoning should be abandoned, retreat into the pass, and the Guanji defense line should be built. The lengthening of the supply line would greatly increase the burden on the Qing Dynasty, which was short of resources.
Regardless of whether this theory is correct or not, this matter itself has caused the Guan Ning Group to disregard the fundamental interests of the Guan Ning Group. The Guan Ning Group itself is a landlord and a bourgeoisie. It is very difficult for the bourgeoisie to give up their main assets and become the proletariat. There is not much difference between killing him and killing him. In fact, the Guanning Group did not turn to the Manchus until the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. It was desperate to seek refuge with the Manchus. This was basically to protect their own land interests. The Manchus also had to use cracked earth to seal the king. To bribe the Guanning Group, of course, in turn will make people very motivated. You can refer to Jianlu on this point. Therefore, both of them stepped down, and they stepped down quite quickly.
Of course, some people will criticize the two for being bloodless and cowardly, but fighting is not a street fight. People who say this are basically under thirty.
