Chapter 618

More than a month after the War of Guanjin, the Ming army went down the mountain like a tiger, and won consecutive victories on the Liaodong battlefield. It was as powerful as a bamboo shoot, and it worked until Mudanjiang, defeating the Qing defenders of Ningguta.

Thirty-six years ago, Nurhaci sent troops to Ningguta and used this as a base to conquer the Jurchen tribes in Beiqinhai, Sanchakou, Ussurisk, Mulen, Ning'an, Mishan, Hunchun and other places.

Ningguta is located very well. It is the military, political and economic center of the vast areas of Heilongjiang and Jilin, and controls the surrounding territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

The Emperors of the Qing Dynasty ran away, so what else can you fight? The Qing army had no intention of fighting and was quickly defeated. The Ming army took back Ningguta without any effort.

After the restoration of Liaodong, there were still a lot of things to be dealt with. Zhu Cilang was in charge of Chenyang and was busy with these things.

Post-war statistics include annihilation, captives, the number of Qing soldiers who surrendered, the deaths of the Ming army, the injuries, the injuring, the injuring of the injury, the return of the team, the injury was healed, the injury was reborn, the injury was reborn, the injury was reborn, and the labor of the civilians and men, the food, ammunition, materials consumed, the spoils seized, etc.

Zhu Cilang naturally doesn't have to do these complicated tasks, he is only responsible for seeing the results.

The most important thing in post-war affairs is how to establish a long-term rule in Liaodong, the establishment of administrative institutions, the appointment of officials, and the garrison and mobilization of left-behind troops.

In the ninth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty established the Nuergandu Commander in Liaodong, which governed the vast area of ​​Outer Xing'an Mountains to the west, to the east, and to the north.

There were Mongolian, Jurchen, Jirimi, Kuyi (Kuwu), Daur and other people in the territory of Nuergandusi. The Ming Dynasty set up more than 400 garrisons here, appointing leaders of various ethnic groups to take charge of each garrison, give seals, and maintain their customs, and govern their responsibilities to pay tribute to the times.

Now that Zhu Cilang has abolished the ward system, Nuergandus naturally cannot continue to reinstate, and he is unwilling to use the leaders of various races as the new chief executives.

Zhu Cixuan considered for several days and finally decided to refer to the border policies of the Han and Tang dynasties to establish a Protectorate in Liaodong, with prefectures under the Protectorate, such as Jinzhou Prefecture, Chenyang Prefecture, and Jinzhou Prefecture, which completely incorporated Liaodong into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The Protectorate means to station troops and guardianship, strengthen border rule, handle ethnic relations, and comfort, conquer, conquer, confess, and punish the surrounding ethnic groups.

The name of the Protectorate who manages Liaodong was named Zhu Cilang, and he set up a large captain, with Mao Yuanyi as the first major captain of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protectorate of the Protector

The governor of Liaodong Qiu Minyang was the deputy chief magistrate, with the second-rank official title, and four deputy chief magistrates, two civil and military personnel, and the third-rank official title.

The Great Protectorate is served as the general, who is the top leader of the Protectorate's Office, responsible for military operations and conquering the surrounding areas, and fight wherever they are dissatisfied.

The deputy arch-protector is a civil servant, responsible for comforting, reconciling merits, calming the people, production, and logistics. After the battle, he will negotiate and reason.

In Zhu Cilang's plan, the Eastern Protectorate was only the first Protectorate in the Ming Dynasty. In the future, if the territory is expanded, the Northern Protectorate, the Southern Protectorate, the Western Protectorate, and the Sea Protectorate...

Chen Zhenhui, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, suggested that the Protectorate should not use the word "Zheng", and it is best to use the word "An" in the Tang Dynasty. The Protectorate of Andong is better to appease the border residents.

Zhu Cilang immediately rejected it and said seriously: "My Ming Dynasty territory was built by soldiers, not by comfort. If you don't change the word "Zheng", you will change it to the word "Zhen" in the future!"

Without strong strength as a backing, the word "pleasure" is equivalent to the word "joke"!

When the Qing court sent a delegation to discuss peace, Zhu Cixuan was repeatedly weighing the next step of military operations.

Was it a staggering momentum to destroy the Qing Dynasty, or to expedite the westward expedition to Mongolia and completely incorporate the southern desert into the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Cilang was in a dilemma and could not make any choice. Mongolians in the south of the desert surrendered and returned. It would be impossible to fight without fighting, and it would be relatively easier to fight Mongolia.

The Third Alliance Alliance Army led by the Korqin tribe, after a few days of leaving the Great Wall, was driven back by the Longwu Army like a duck.

Mongolia in southern Mongolia did not have many troops and its combat effectiveness. The difficulty of the Ming army's western expedition to Mongolia was mainly due to logistics supplies and the lack of adaptation to the local environment.

Zhu Cixuan first ruled out the second issue of using troops on both sides. With the strength and combat power of the Ming army, he could support the battle on both sides, but the war fought against logistics and material supply, involving a series of issues such as recruitment of civil servants.

The manpower and material resources consumed in different areas were much larger than that of a single battlefield. Two logistics supply centers were required, and two sets of supply needed to be provided. The Ming Dynasty in history was dragged down by the battles on both sides.

Especially in the two or three years of the 13th and 15th of the 15th of the Chongzhen period, the Songjin battle drew all the elite troops on the nine sides, and more than 100,000 Ming troops were blocking Liaodong to fight the Qing Dynasty. More than 100,000 troops from various provinces in the Central Plains gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture to fight the Zhuxian Town battle, fighting Li Zicheng, and completely exhausted the last power of the Ming Dynasty, one in the south and one in the north.

In fact, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen in history knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to end, and often mentioned the word "天天", but he still struggled for two years.

Zhu Cilang thought that if he had been airborne to the end of the 15th year of Chongzhen, he would not be able to save the Ming Dynasty, so he could only stare at him.

After all, Sun Chuanting, the ruthless man, has proved that he can't play at all, he is too late to do anything, and he doesn't keep his logistics, so he can just fight a big fuck!

Even if Chongzhen did not urge the army to promote it, the Ming army would sooner or later be hungry and would collapse without fighting.

The lessons of history are painful. Zhu Cilang will try his best to avoid any form of two-front battle.

The more Zhu Cilang thought about it, the more headache he had. It was June, and the logistics supply cost in winter would be greater and more difficult. If you want to fight, you should fight as soon as possible. You must end the military service when the weather was cold in October.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cixuan solicited opinions from the Nanjing cabinet.

Hearing that the emperor was preparing to continue his military service, the cabinet's memorials flew towards Shenyang like snowflakes, mostly with objections. Everyone said that the front-line army's logistics supply, food, ammunition, and supplies were seriously insufficient, which was no longer enough to support the next step of the war.

For this Northern Expedition, Jiangnan had accumulated sufficient supplies over the years, but the Ming army fought continuously and the supply line was too long.

The supply of the Tianwu Army and the Jingwu Army was fine. The coastal areas that have been traveling, the Battle of Guanjin after leaving the customs was also fought in the Liaoxi Corridor near the sea, and the sea supply consumption was small.

But since Shenyang was recovered and the Ming army continued to go north, the supply line was far away. Coupled with weather and terrain, logistics supply and transportation brought huge difficulties.

In addition to the battle situation in Liaodong, there are also the battlefields of the Central Plains, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, far away from the south of the Yangtze River, with many mountains and rivers, and logistics are quite difficult.

Although the Central Plains was recovered by the Ming army, many places were affected for more than ten years, and the war caused a large number of people to be displaced, and it was necessary to comfort and provide relief to the victims to a large amount of food.

Yang Tinglin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, wrote a letter saying: "The regained places in Shaanxi and other places have not yet stabilized. Some people have already transformed into bandits and thieves. If they are not appeased and stopped as soon as possible, it is likely to cause large-scale unrest. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Guowei also opposed the post-war reconstruction. He said that the Central Plains region has been war-torn for a long time and is now very abandoned. It has just been recovered and urgently needs to recruit residents and resume production. If troops continue to be used in the north, the Central Plains region will have a certain impact on the autumn sowing, and the restoration and reconstruction work will be postponed.
