Sun chuanting, a native of Daixian County, Shanxi Province, can also be said to be a person near the important town of Jiubian. Their hometown has suffered from the scourge of Mongolian invaders since the founding of the country in the Ming Dynasty.
Officials in other places are all ready to govern the country and win the fame after death. However, sun chuanting's idea is relatively simple, that is, after he is determined to be an official himself, he began to lead the border army, poor soldiers in the desert, seal wolf juxu, and Le Shi Yanran, so as to create a permanent peace for the border of the Ming Dynasty.
In his opinion, this is that it is only interesting to fight foreign enemies, and it is meaningless to fight roving bandits. That is why he has been studying the war methods against Mongols and built slaves, which makes him comfortable in dealing with roving bandits. It is like ruling a big country. If you cook small delicacies, you can easily lift them and catch them with your hand.
The biggest temptation for the Liu family to surrender to him is not to protect his life and give his family prosperity, but to promise him that as long as he invests in the Liu family, he will arrange to go to southern Liaoning to be responsible for Fu JianNu.
The temptation of such a son is what he really can't refuse. He took refuge in the Liu family, which is the second minister and the traitor. It is estimated that the reputation of the sun family in daizhou has been lost. He can't meet his ancestors after death, but he got one, which is what he dreamed of: dealing with JianNu! After much thought, he finally agreed.
People will eventually die, realize their long cherished wish, calm down the trouble at the border, and build a great cause that has not been done in a century. The merits and demerits will be evaluated by future generations.
After he came here, he also had an idea, that is, to come to the border, to a wild land to work for the Han family. Who knows, after he came here, he knew that this is not a wild land, and it is still some fertile land. At least as far as the fertility of the land is concerned, it is not under Shaanxi.
Moreover, the Liu family's support for him is also very strong. Although the money and grain pulled out by the Liu family to southern Liaoning is not as much as that given by the imperial court, the actual income is far more than that given by the imperial court. Such strong support also makes sun chuanting think that he can let go.
Sun chuanting is indeed a capable person. After tossing around here for a few months, he put the chicken flying and dog jumping of JianNu back on track.
Apart from others, a few months after sun chuanting came, they began to change from strategic defense to strategic attack, which made JianNu sleep and eat uneasy.
Originally, sun chuanting was worried that once he came to southern Liaoning and made big moves, he would be limited by the problems of logistics, food and soldiers. After all, the Liu family's key attack direction is the south, and they have also formulated the strategy of starting from the south to the north.
Moreover, they are also preparing to hold a decisive battle in Shandong. Under such circumstances, it is reasonable to send troops back to Shandong for support, but they did not do so.
The Liu family's fleet brought ships of grain. On the wharf in Jinzhou, their grain piled up like a mountain.
Sun chuanting didn't need to spend much time buying these chiefs of the Mongolian tribe. He just took these people to the wharf in Jingzhou to show them the cannons thicker than their waist and the mountains of grain, which made these chiefs have a choice in their hearts.
The current policy of the Chinese army is to start from the south to the north, and Shandong organizes the decisive battle in Shandong, so they really can't mobilize more troops to the east of Liaoning, but they still provide very good weapons and logistics, which makes sun chuanting have to find a way to recruit more troops himself.
Sun chuanting's strength lies not in attacking the enemy on the battlefield, but in training and formulating strategies. Sun chuanting immediately began to recruit more refugees to join their army, and they also obtained mercenaries from Mongolian tribes through trade.
He can even reach a secret agreement with the Mongolian tribes. Once there is a war, they can quickly get support from Mongolia.
Of course, some officials pointed out that it was very inappropriate to use a large number of Mongols. The fall of Shenyang was due to the massive use of Mongols by He Shi, the chief soldier at that time. As a result, these Mongols took the helm in the wind. When Daming was strong, he obediently became the watchdog of Daming, but once the war was unfavorable, he immediately opened the gate to meet JianNu, As a result, a huge Shenyang City, which was guarded by 70000 soldiers and civilians, fell in one day, causing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to die miserably under JianNu butcher's knife.
However, sun chuanting was mentally prepared for this. He knew that these Mongols worked hard for their money and food, not for loyalty or to protect the country. In short, it was a silver.
Since this advantage allows them to abandon their traditional allies and deal with JianNu, they can also abandon the Chinese army and unite with JianNu to deal with the Chinese army.
Therefore, sun chuanting was also very smart. Instead of letting these Mongolian mercenaries enter the core area, he let them fight a downwind war on the periphery as support, which was mainly used to sneak attacks and attack the rear of JianNu, which made them tired. The elite soldiers of the Chinese army still guarded major cities and traffic routes. They used this way, In fact, they have greatly reduced their pressure.
These Mongolian mercenaries, their loyalty, this will take time to test.
Anyway, sun chuanting won't let them enter the core area. The second is that these mercenaries don't think they can muddle along when they come to the Chinese army. They join the mercenaries of the Chinese army and only get food that can make them hungry. If they want to eat hot and spicy food, they have to exchange military skills for JianNu's head. If you want to muddle along, you can't.
In fact, in sun chuanting's eyes, the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, that is, China, is the Mongols. Since the Mongols rose 200 years ago, they have always been the biggest enemy of the Central Plains imperial dynasty. Sun chuanting's greatest long cherished wish is to wipe out the Mongolian Empire, permanently eradicate its threat to the Central Plains imperial dynasty, and make the people at the border no longer suffer.
JianNu can only be said to be a younger brother from behind, but this younger brother is becoming more and more powerful, surpassing the old Xiaoqiang Mongols. However, if sun chuanting can rest assured of them, it is impossible.
In sun chuanting's eyes, JianNu and Mongolian Tartars deserve to die. They are all the targets they want to destroy. They can take advantage of him, but they have to exchange military skills. Of course, if they can take military skills, they can exchange very rich rewards, so that everyone can be worth a hundred times, eat delicious and drink spicy.
Moreover, these Mongolian soldiers are not without hope. They are only peripheral now. If they can really join the Chinese army, the treatment is quite good. For example, burigud, one of the six main generals of the Chinese army and born as a Mongolian mercenary, now has tens of thousands of soldiers and countless properties, which is regarded as an idol by countless Mongolian soldiers, Want to be the second bregude.
In some aspects, these people are restrained and dare not mess around. The Chinese army is not the place where they shoot one gun at a time. If they commit a crime here, they will be put on the blacklist. They won't be able to do this business next time.
Sun chuanting's strategy was extremely successful. Apart from that, they had moved from strategic defense to strategic attack, which forced Huang Taiji to dispatch more troops to southern Liaoning to confront the Chinese army, which meant that they did not have enough troops to deal with other people, such as the Chahar Mongols, They have no ability to deal with the North Koreans, let alone those born women outside the White Mountains and black waters.
It is because of this situation that Huang Taiji more urgently hopes to cooperate with Daming and obtain the supply of money and grain from Daming, so that they can do their best to deal with the Chinese thieves.
In the past, it was difficult for them to cooperate with Daming because they did not have the common enemy of the Chinese thieves. Now that both sides have the common enemy of the Chinese army, can they carry out more in-depth cooperation?
Just at this time, Daming also sent envoys to contact them and talk with them about the possibility of jointly dealing with the Chinese army, which made Huang Taiji very happy.
The person who sent the Messenger this time was Xu Jianqiang, a newly rising eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was born as a eunuch, he was very capable. He became the emperor's new favorite because he did several great things.
Huang Taiji has always attached great importance to the intelligence collection of Daming, so he won't miss this important news. Xu Jianqiang sent messengers, although he only said that it was his personal intention. If both sides are interesting, he can lead a bridge to promote cooperation between the two sides, which has greatly delighted the other side.
And the other party also brought a large number of property, which made him very happy. Xu Jianqiang brought 200000 liang of silver as soon as he made a move. His sincerity is full.
But Huang Taiji was thinking that if the other party brought all kinds of materials, he would be more happy. Now the Chinese army and Daming are very strict about the blockade of JianNu. He has no way to obtain a large number of materials through large-scale trade. He can only obtain some property through trail smuggling. This is far from meeting their needs. Now JianNu, They have a lot of silver. Most officials have a lot of silver in their hands. These silver can even be used as toys for children, because it is very difficult for them to buy materials from Daming through silver. The value of this silver has decreased on a large scale.
After all, silver can't be eaten or drunk. If he doesn't have the purchasing power, it's not much different from ordinary stones.
So Huang Taiji first said that if the two sides want to cooperate, he needs food, cloth and other materials, not silver.
