Nie Daying did not delay. After receiving the news from the other party, he went back immediately. Of course, he happily accepted the 200000 liang of silver he brought and planned to take it back.
But he was 200000 taels of silver, which was extremely large and heavy. They had to find a place to hide first, and then quickly rushed back to the capital.
When Nie Daying and his colleagues rushed back to the capital, the whole capital had almost become a military camp.
In and out were soldiers and military supplies, because emperor Chongzhen mobilized all the troops he could mobilize in the north to this area for the decisive battle in Shandong.
The main force of the Ming army has always been deployed on the nine sides and the front line, which is the centralized deployment of the nine important towns along the great wall against the resurgent Mongolian Empire.
Of course, the elite Jiubian army has been continuously transferred to deal with JianNu, Mongols, Liu Jun and itinerant bandits. Its main force has almost lost. Although it still maintains the establishment of hundreds of thousands, it is mainly recruits, old, weak, sick and disabled.
But the imperial court can't care so much. Even the worst soldier is a soldier. Can he always rush forward with weapons? They are mobilized to the capital, and then assigned to Baoding or Tianjin Wei.
Now the officials of the imperial court and the emperor are arguing about whether to bring back Guan Ning's iron cavalry.
Guanning cavalry is the last fine tax army of the Ming Dynasty. This army, composed of generals in western Liaoning, is also guarding the Liaoxi corridor, the last land of the Ming Dynasty outside the pass. This army has been at the forefront of fighting against JianNu, enjoying the most generous military salaries and treatment of the Ming Dynasty. A Liao sound almost brought down the Ming Dynasty.
The money seized by Daming from the whole country is also desperately filling this pit, but this is a huge pit. They can't fill it anyway, and they can't fill it.
In the past, Guan Ning's iron cavalry guarded outside the pass, which was very important and could not be moved lightly. However, today, we can only move to protect Daming's interests in the pass.
Without the operations of the guanning army outside the pass, the whole town would be lost, and JianNu could attack the Great Wall at any time.
The Great Wall is a wall and a military defense system, but the military defense system also needs other things to assist. Without these things, it can't play a role.
Moreover, the garrison of Guan Ning army around Shanhaiguan makes it impossible for JianNu outside the pass to break into the Great Wall. Without Ningjin defense line, JianNu can quickly enter Shanhaiguan along the western Liaoning Corridor and broadcast the capital live, that is, a three-day journey.
The status of Beijing city is doomed to its strategic significance, and every king can call it: the son of heaven guards the gate of the country, but the son of heaven guards the gate of the country at a huge price. For example, now, they are tragically under the attack of the two major forces of JianNu and the Chinese army. Any force that tries its best to suppress them can crush them.
In fact, as early as the rebellion in the Liu family, someone suggested that the capital should be moved.
But the inherent systems of Daming are too powerful. These inherent systems are pushing Daming forward. Why do you say so? This is because as soon as the capital was moved, officials in the court shouted that it was selling yetian. It was a show of lack of backbone and did not have the consent of heavyweight ministers.
In fact, all the officials of the imperial court knew that moving the capital was the best way to prevent them from being attacked from two directions at the same time, but they didn't agree with their words, the public opinion in the imperial court didn't agree, and even the emperor couldn't help it.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen was interested in moving the capital. This is not to lose what his ancestors left behind. They can still come back. However, the emotions and discussions in the court made emperor Chongzhen dare not insist, because even he was not sure that this was right.
Everyone says that if they give up today, they can take it back tomorrow, but they have lost Liaoyang outside the pass, Shenyang and Guangning. Have they ever come back?
Even if they lost the whole Jiangnan, Huguang, Sichuan and other places, they didn't take it back. They were afraid that if they lost it, they would be lost forever.
In that case, it's better to keep everything in front of you when you win the vigorous World War I. if you fail, live like a famous official (man). Don't live like such a coward.
But the emperor and the imperial court knew that it was time for life and death, and they had to make a choice. Emperor Chongzhen concentrated the elite of the nine important towns here. Since the ministers refused to nod and unwilling to move the capital, Emperor Chongzhen made his own order to transfer all guanning cavalry back, give up all the territory outside the pass and send more troops back to defense.
Because they have found something now. Even if they are not willing to give up all the towns outside the pass now, it is estimated that these cities will collapse themselves. Ning Jin direction can be maintained. This is because the imperial court has invested a lot of money and food here.
These money and grain are like a huge hole. Most of the flesh and blood produced by Daming are filled here, but they can't fill this hole, which makes Daming's national strength decline unprecedentedly.
In those days, sun Chengzong, a famous marshal, created the Ningjin defense line. He really blocked the enemy's attack on the capital from the west of Liaoning Province. The enemy who wanted to enter Daming from here was hit head and blood, but the money spent was so much that Daming could not bear it.
Of course, so much money to fill in this place is also because a huge corruption system has been formed up and down. The so-called liaoxiang has become an inherent process. When you get the money, you know how to share the profits.
Ning Jin direction has played a protective role for the imperial court. Its importance goes without saying. As long as there is a choice in the imperial court, it will not give up.
The problem is that in the current imperial court, he has no choice, because the imperial court can't afford the Ningjin defense line, and can't send a large amount of food here. A large amount of military pay, either let it live or die, or withdraw it to the customs. The emperor simply ordered it to withdraw.
Of course, it was Nie Daying's return that enabled the emperor to make such a determination and reported their news.
This is JianNu outside the pass. It's hard to live. The Chinese army in southern Liaoning makes JianNu fall into the situation of being attacked by the left and right. The Chinese army deployed in southern Liaoning is eyeing the JianNu army. With this army, JianNu has the intention to invade the South and does not dare to go all out to the south.
This means that even if the imperial court gave up Ningjin direction, JianNu did not dare to go all out to the south. The first thing to deal with was the Chinese army in southern Liaoning.
In that case, it is unnecessary for the imperial court to spend so much money to deploy these troops here.
The imperial court simply withdrew the troops and gave the venue to the Chinese army and JianNu to fight for life and death outside the pass. This is called sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. When both sides are exhausted, Daming should win the battle of Shandong and return here again.
This is the wishful thinking of emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court. Although the court talked about it, they still did it. The advantage of doing so is that they can draw out hundreds of thousands of troops and quickly return to defense, at least a temporary way to solve a series of crises in front of Daming.
The biggest crisis in Daming is, of course, Liu thief and JianNu. Now they use this method to temporarily solve two problems, which is also a last resort.
But something unexpected happened again.
In the imperial court's imagination, the Guanlin iron cavalry will draw tens of thousands of people as the main force to rush south to Shandong.
This army, the famous guanning iron cavalry, has participated in the domestic crackdown on roving bandits for many times before. For example, the great general Zu Kuan under Hong Chengchou is the slave of Zu dashou, the general leader of western Liaoning, but his military achievements have come to the general.
Now they are finally going to release guanning Tieqi, a fierce beast, all of which are used to deal with the enemies in the pass.
But what they think is a little too natural. This is Zu dashou, Wu Xiang and others. They have been officials here for generations, and their local relations are intertwined.
Originally, their power was already strong. Sun Chengzong established the Ningjin defense line, but vigorously promoted these people, and the generals in western Liaoning began to form.
Zu dashou, the leader of the general clan in western Liaoning, took shape when sun Chengzu was the supervisor, and became an inexorable trend during Yuan Chonghuan.
They have great strength and are entrenched here. They can threaten the imperial court with whatever they want. It is said that they collude with JianNu. They meet each other on a narrow road. They don't fight, but shoot arrows into the sky.
In a word, Guan Ning's iron cavalry are the local snakes entrenched in western Liaoning. They are the representatives of the interests of this place. As long as they raise bandits here and respect themselves, they can ask the imperial court for Liao Xiang. Basically, they have what they want. Although other officials of the Imperial court also join the ranks and share the huge Liao Xiang together, they still rely on this advantage in the end, A big share.
Now, the imperial court wants them to work hard and let them leave the Fengshui treasure land in western Liaoning, but doesn't give them the money to work hard, which makes Zu dashou, Wu Xiang and others terrified and worried.
He said angrily, "the land god lord it over others in the earth temple. This left the earth temple to Town God's Temple, can we still have a good life?"
Wu Xiang was also very upset. He said: "the current imperial court has begun to ignore martial ethics and asked us to work hard. We didn't even give the development fee and military pay. With such a withdrawal, we threw all the land left by our ancestors to JianNu and became a rootless duckweed. We worked for the imperial court everywhere. In the end, we died in a foreign land and couldn't return our bones. It's miserable."
