The general of western Liaoning, who considers himself the running dog of Daming, has been active in the forefront of Daming's fight against JianNu.
They are the soldiers of Daming and the enemies of JianNu.
However, this did not prevent him from violating the Yin and Yang of the Ming Dynasty. He had been lying to it about his military achievements and asking for all kinds of benefits. They were in a state of listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda.
The hostile relationship between them and JianNu does not prevent them from selling materials to JianNu in exchange for benefits. In this regard, they are more like a group of businessmen. As long as there are benefits, they don't care who they cooperate with.
But what they did was a lot lower key than those in Shanxi, and they were all sneaky, and they were both heads and mice. They were greedy for the money in the hands of JianNu and were afraid that if they sold more materials to each other, they would bring harm to themselves.
Therefore, we set a policy of selling 10 and not selling 10. Of course, this is self deception. It's like sister Yao. Since it's in the water, you have to do it. Why do you pick left and right from the guests? They just keep a low profile?
But they also think that there is a blood feud with JianNu, and they also look down on the pig raising barbarians from the Tungus forest. They can't afford to lose the man who dropped his shoulder pole and didn't know it was a word on the ground.
They also understand that if they fall out with the imperial court, the imperial court will cut off their military pay, cut off their food and cut off their way back to the pass. It is estimated that they will be forced to a dead end.
Since then, JianNu took the opportunity to attack, so they don't have to fight wildly. They can force themselves to collapse.
In that case, we have to think of another way back.
In the system of the Ming Dynasty, Guan Ning's cavalry was the only army with positive hard resistance modeling. When the Chinese army appeared in southern Liaoning, this changed the situation. In fact, the arrival of the Chinese army was good for them. At least the Chinese army won the southern Liaoning three guards as soon as it took action, but it stabbed JianNu in the pain at one fell swoop, forcing them to have no choice, Send out a large army to attack southern Liaoning. All the attention and pressure are focused on southern Liaoning. They are much more relaxed and their days are much more moist.
You know, in the past, although they were carrying rich food, they were also facing strong pressure from JianNu. JianNu was a hungry wolf who ate people and didn't spit bones. If they weren't careful, they couldn't eat and go.
According to the words of Zu dashou, Wu Xiang and others, they actually take hard-working money and do work with their heads pinned on their trousers and belts. Such work is not necessarily good. It's better for the ministers in the court to sit in the middle of the court and live within the Great Wall to protect their safety and share the stolen goods.
Since the emergence of the Chinese army in southern Liaoning, JianNu fought with them. Both sides fought until the dog's brain came out, which moistened their days.
However, the days of the imperial court were good. Seeing JianNu and the Chinese army fighting, the Ningjin defense line was safe, so they immediately stopped their food ring.
This is the best day they think. If there were Mao Wenlong's Jiangdong army in the past, it would be different. Jiangdong army is the army of the imperial court. Everyone is a donkey drinking water in a trough. The imperial court's resources will inevitably tilt to Dongjiang or Mao Wenlong, and the money will be less.
But the Chinese army is different. They are the enemies of Daming. Daming can't give them a penny of grain, so the enemy's presence here is actually their best day.
Moreover, the Chinese army is also very powerful. They beat JianNu back and forth. They have no temper.
Later, the strong rise of the Chinese army, they went south to the Jianghuai River and swept the whole South at once, which made the generals in western Liaoning envious.
Look at the scene and the momentum of others. Three years ago, they were not as good as Liaoxi generals. In three years, Liaoxi generals were carrying shoes for them.
But envy is the envy. Zu dashou, Wu Xiang and others dare not revolt and have no ability to revolt. However, they do not have the money and ability of the Liu family. They all know that the Liu family has the most powerful navy in the northern coastal area. They are very strong and fight whoever they want.
The generals in western Liaoning, that is, earth buns, mix on land, but they inevitably want to extend their business or interests to the sea, but these are blocked by the Chinese army.
However, the Chinese army is still friendly to them. As long as the fleet of generals in western Liaoning goes to sea and pays the protection fee, they will still release it, and they will not deliberately embarrass them. At present, the two sides are in a cooperative relationship.
For example, Jiangmen in western Liaoning is a big landlord in this area of western Liaoning. A large number of farmers farm for them, which means that they have a large amount of grain on hand. If these grains are sold to Mongols and JianNu, they can get a lot of money.
But they did not dare to sell on a large scale. They only sold secretly. They had a lot of grain and some grain, which was finally bought by the Chinese army.
Originally, the Chinese army could not afford to buy their grain, because relatively speaking, as long as they sold it to the Mongols and JianNu, they could sell it at a good price.
But the Chinese Army exchanged their guns with their cannons, high alcohol and refined salt.
It was precisely because of these pleasant cooperative relations between the two sides that the Chinese army was growing and the market was rising. Zu dashou decided not to do it or not, and simply voted for the Chinese army.
Following Daming to fight the Chinese army in the pass, I'm afraid it's a dead end. So many border troops who went to deal with the Chinese army, several people came back. Even fierce people like Lu Xiangsheng were killed, not to mention others.
They can be called neighbors with the Huaxia army. The two sides face each other across the Bohai Sea and have a certain understanding of the strength of the Huaxia army. They are also more optimistic about the Huaxia army than others. One of the reasons why they are optimistic about the Huaxia army is that they know that the Huaxia army actually has the strongest navy in East Asia.
Liu Bu, the young master of the Liu family, was able to marry the daughter of the Zheng family and obtain such a huge fleet. After having Zheng's fleet, the Liu family has the most powerful navy in the East. Even if they can't win the Ming Empire on land, they probably can't take him back to the island.
Zu dashou and Wu Xiang secretly went to the seaside to watch the Liu family's navy fleet. There are more than a dozen cannons on one of their main warships. The gun body is thicker than your waist. One shot is a big pit. How can you fight such an enemy? Can you expect Daming's navy with a small sampan and a small wooden boat to fight against them?
So they basically came to the conclusion that the Chinese army was basically invincible in coastal areas or along rivers.
Zu dashou, Wu Xiang and others are discussing. They are also saying that if the wind is wrong, they have to vote for the Lord.
In their words, their wealth and glory now is not the wealth and glory of one person, but the wealth and glory of hundreds of thousands of people. If one choice is wrong, everyone will have no good life.
Investing in the Chinese army is indeed an option to continue their wealth, but they are also afraid of the Chinese Army's control over the army.
Liu's father and son are not so easy to deceive emperor Chongzhen. Their control over the army is extremely strong. Everyone makes him eat and die. The army is no longer your private property, which makes it difficult for them to give up.
Once they join the Chinese army, they are bound to adapt and hand over the army. If they don't, it is estimated that it will take minutes to kill them by means of the eight faced Buddha Liu Yuanqiao and the National Security Bureau.
They thought about joining the Chinese army, but they also thought about the same thing. If after joining the Chinese army, the other party asked them to hand over their military power and army, what should they do? This made them hesitate again.
Guanning iron cavalry used to be in a very good position. They guarded this corridor in western Liaoning, which was the only official way outside the pass to enter Daming. With the rise of JianNu, it has become the forefront and the last defense line of Daming. Once they broke through here, JianNu cavalry broke into the great wall and entered the capital, That's a day or two.
They invested a lot of money and food here and built countless castles and blockhouses. They relied on these beacon towers and cities to stick to them, and JianNu could not attack them.
The only way for JianNu to enter Daming is to bypass Mongolia and attack from other places, but it makes them have to travel a long way and go deep alone, which is quite dangerous.
But now the strategic situation of the Ming Court has changed greatly, which is mainly reflected in that their main enemy is not the slave but the thief Liu.
They immediately changed from the vanguard in the front line to the soldiers in the rear. The soldiers in the rear can be drawn out and sacrificed at any time.
Zu dashou and others started as small soldiers. They knew how miserable and tragic a soldier who could be abandoned would be.
In this case, they know that they have lost their previous importance and utilization value here in the Daming Dynasty. Then people will squeeze their surplus value and drive them away as cannon fodder.
And eunuch Xu, the demon in Beijing, was not very friendly to them.
It is estimated that eunuch Xu had long been interested in these properties of Liaoxi generals with his sinister eyes open.
Once they lead the troops to fight, he will take the royal guards to raid their homes and fill their property.
Because of these ideas, they are not willing to work for Daming, because they know that although he rose from the bottom of Daming, he is working for Daming now. It is estimated that he can't get any benefit and will be killed by the other party. Now it's time to make a choice.
If they invest in JianNu, they will lose face, and if they invest in the Chinese army, their interests will be greatly damaged, which is not much better than that in Daming. In this way, they are worried to death.
