1348 The Li family who carried the blame

Zu Dashou did not take Wu Sangui's words, but just picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if I listened to you. Wu Sangui seemed to be muttering to himself: "In the war, the morale of the army must not be chaotic! I am afraid that ordinary methods will not work! But if we really do it, there are still many uncles and brothers here, and many close people, which is difficult to get started!"

Zu Dashou said slowly at this time: "Then have you ever thought about joining Liu Pei?"

Wu Sangui smiled wryly and said, "I must have thought about this! But I think the Qing Dynasty's chance of winning is still greater!"

Zu Dashou's heavy eyelids didn't move at all, and he whispered: "Why do you think so? You must know that those Shandong soldiers are very elite! Even the soldiers and horses against the Qing Dynasty are not bad! Moreover, their firearms are sharp and numerous, so it is difficult to deal with when fighting!"

Wu Sangui sighed and said, "Uncle, what if they are hard to deal with? It doesn't matter if it's just a new Qi family army. You don't know where those Qi family army have gone now!"

Wu Sangui was talking about a historical case. After the Qi family army that aided the north, after a bloody battle with the Qing army, the local government did not give them enough food and salary! You should know whether the Qi family army was a guest army or recruiting soldiers. There was no source of food and salary, and it was all based on the rewards of the enemy to support the morale of the army! Once the food and salary were cut off, the combat effectiveness of the Qi family army would decline rapidly!

As a result, after the Qi family army made a fuss, under the collusion between civil and military officials at all levels in the north, thousands of remnants of the Qi family army were deceived into the military camp with bare hands and all killed! At this point, the Qi family army became a terrifying news! If there was no extremely xenophobic Guanning Army involved, it would be a damn thing!

Zu Dashou said: "But these Shandong soldiers are different from those of the Qi family! Those of the Qi family soldiers were organized by the court, and they are rootless Piaoping, and they will be killed if they are killed! But Liu Pei has mastered the province and is considered to be rooted and has a foundation. Perhaps they have suffered losses. They will replenish them quickly!"

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "So what? Isn't our Guanning Army also in control of almost a province? And I don't believe that Liu Pei can cover up the sky in Shandong? If he had this idea, I'm afraid those civil servants would

Keep dragging him down! It’s not that easy to master a province!”

Zu Dashou said: "But I always feel that things are not as simple as you think!"

Wu Sangui said: "Uncle, what would have been the result if the Li family had fought with the Jurchens in the early years?"

Zu Dashou pondered for a moment and said, "The Li family was removed from the list! Even if they defeated the Jurchens, I'm afraid the Li family would die at the hands of the emperor!"

Wu Sangui said: "Yes, this Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has liked to kill heroes since the Taizu! If we had not used the Li family's strategy to raise enemies, how could we have the wealth of Wu and Zu families!"

Zu Dashou sighed and said, "Oh! But the Li family also raises tigers!"

Wu Sangui smiled and said, "But now this tiger belongs to ours!"

Among the two, the Li family is the Li Chengliang family of Liaodong clan back then. In fact, it is a bit too much to say that the Li family raised a tiger. Li Chengliang is indeed responsible, but in fact he was just deceived by Nurhaci! The fundamental reason for Nurhaci's rise is due to internal reasons of the Ming Dynasty!

In Li Chengliang's opinion, Nurhaci is just a knife in his hand. Although it is very dangerous, it can still be controlled. As the saying goes, I can help you up and step on you to death!

In Nurhaci's eyes, Li Chengliang is an insurmountable mountain. With this mountain pressing down, let alone the "seven major hatreds", even the "seventy major hatreds", he can only swallow his teeth and raise Mr. Li in a regular manner!

Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for 30 years and won great victories ten times! Both Mongolian and Jurchens were suppressed! Anyone who dared to explode the thorns would lose his head in minutes! So Nurhaci honestly accepted the position of the court and became the border general of the Ming Dynasty in detail.

However, according to the tradition of the late Ming Dynasty, border guards like Li Chengliang who have made great achievements must be the target of censors, and there must be the lowest! Therefore, the court saliva and secret arrows flew together. Finally, in the 19th year of Wanli, the civil servants shot Li Chengliang down on the horse, because of "highestness and arrogance, extravagance."

In fact, as a warlord, Li Chengliang is not the most luxurious

Compared with Yan Song, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng of the same era, they can only be seen as big witches, but the tradition of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was "I can be greedy, but you must be honest."

So Li Chengliang was hung up like this, and he had been hung up for ten years! During the ten years when Li Chengliang was idle at home, Liaodong changed eight commanders-in-chief, but none of them could save the place, so he had to invite Li Chengliang out again. At this time, Li Chengliang was already seventy-six years old.

But as the saying goes, the old tiger is powerful! Li Chengliang, who has come out again, has ensured fourteen years of peace as soon as he appears in Liaodong! The border is peaceful, and the court is making trouble again: "The way of saying a message will be repeated and the emperor will not report it."

The meaning of this sentence is that if it weren't for Emperor Wanli, the 90-year-old Li Chengliang would have been drowned by the saliva of civil servants!

So when we read the history books carefully, we will find that when Li Chengliang is a well-behaved sheep, he is also a good thug raised by Li Chengliang. If anyone doesn’t like him, as long as Li Chengliang winks, Nurhaci rolls up his sleeves and goes up.

Not only that, Nurhaci also gave his niece to Li Chengliang's son Li Rubai as his concubine. This generation is a bit messy, as if Nurhaci was older than Li Chengliang. Of course, Nurhaci did not dare to regard himself as an elder. He was a subordinate of Li Chengliang, and he was an obedient subordinate.

So although Nurhaci beats anyone he wants to in the Baishan Heishui tribe, and he can win every time, it is not because he is the strongest among those people. There is only one reason: behind him is the giant Li Chengliang, and Nurhaci once served as a servant of Li Chengliang.

You know, it was a great honor to be a servant of Li Chengliang back then. It was possible to fight several battles with Li Chengliang, become a guerrilla general, even a deputy general, and be the deputy general! Nurhaci started as a servant of Li Chengliang, and became the general of the Ming Dynasty, the general and the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and became the front pawn of Li Chengliang's troops intimidation of Mongolia and Jurchen tribes.
