Chapter 629 Incitement
As the coach, Xiao Ruxun's orders are very effective.

On the night of the eighth day of March, Li Rusong sent someone to send a battle report, destroying a city, beheading more than [-] captives, and saving [-] civilians. They are on the way to protect and transport, please Xiao Ruxun to accompany him and continue to lead troops to attack.

On the morning of the ninth day of March, Nurhachi sent people to send a battle report, destroying a city, beheading [-] captives, and saving [-] people. He asked Xiao Ruxun to send people to protect the people, and he would continue to attack.

At noon on the ninth day of March, when Xiao Ruxun was arranging troops to distribute rations to the people who were gradually arriving, battle reports from Li Rumei, Li Rubai and Wang Hui also came. In the city, more than 1000 northern captives were young and strong, and more than 3000 northern captives, old and weak, women and children.

The northern captives were basically unprepared, as if they were in a festival, and they were drunk and dreaming. When the army came in surprise, they were at a loss, and basically a wave of charge could wipe them out.

In this way, the north of Xiamizhuang has been occupied by the northern captives. It is not a military occupation, but a complete occupation. It is like a conquest. It is a story that reproduces the era of the Five Husbands and China.

Because even the old and weak women and children who usually never show their faces have come!
However, the current government of the Central Plains Dynasty is not the Jin government of that year, and Lao Zhu's family is not the Sima family. The national policy of never compromise with the Hu people has been shouted loudly at least. The expulsion of the Tartars is definitely a politically correct slogan. When it comes to expelling the Tartars, no one can say anything wrong.

And Xiao Ruxun really felt that the IQ of these northern captives was very touching.

Those who were beaten in the Eastern Jin Dynasty fled to the south, and those who were beaten in the Southern Song Dynasty fled to the south. Only half of the country was left, but they never gave up on the Northern Expedition. .

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, two generations of emperors made thirteen northern expeditions, comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacking the Xiongnu, and finally Yongle Emperor Zhu Di attacked Langjuxu Mountain, recreating the highest military exploit of the Han family who sealed Langjuxu.

Huo Qubing was not the only one who sealed Langjuxu Mountain, but also Zhu Di. Li Jing and Hou Junji of the Tang Dynasty were the ones who really hit Langjuxu Mountain. However, only Huo Qubing and Zhu Di actually held the Zen ceremony. One, Zhu Di is respected as the emperor, and the rest of you have limited status, and Feng Chan's words are political mistakes.

You said that this is the kind of Daming, Daming with an extremely stubborn temper, would watch them occupy the Han land, and would he still plan to recuperate here?

From a political point of view, the land of China has been violated. As an orthodox dynasty, it is necessary to regain the lost land. This is absolutely politically correct. If it is not seized, it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the people, and it can no longer be recognized as an orthodox unified dynasty, such as the Song Dynasty. , has never been recognized as a unified dynasty.

From a military point of view, the 300 years of the Song Dynasty made the Han people suffer enough without the Great Wall. Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Khitan, which opened a precedent for foreigners to cross the Great Wall and enter the hinterland of China. After losing the Great Wall, the entire North China Plain was open and open again. Without a buffer, it is extremely difficult to stop a large-scale cavalry attack.

After learning this lesson, after the Ming Dynasty regained the Yanyun area, it attached great importance to the defense of the Great Wall and rebuilt the Great Wall several times. Now you let the northern captives cross the Great Wall and settle in Datong?
What a joke!
If Zhu Yijun found out about this, he would have to be furious and order Xiao Ruxun to immediately expel all the northern captives and then brutally massacre them in retaliation.

Xiao Ruxun really wrote an official memorial just like this. There is no need to hide this news. When he ordered the army to recover the lost land and kill the northern captives, he wrote it with all his heart and soul. A memorial.

In this memorial, he exaggerated what Beilu had done in Datong and Shanxi by three or five times, exaggerating the misery in various senses, and then asked Xu Guangqi, a real man, to polish it on his behalf.

Then he reported this memorial to the imperial court as a weapon to incite public opinion from the Great Wall to attack Guihua City. Of course, he could use his special status to forcibly lead the army to attack outside the Great Wall on the grounds that he would not accept the orders of the generals outside the Great Wall, but the consequences are still somewhat serious.

In order for him to clean up the mess, it is necessary to incite the desire of the orthodox literati in the Ming court to avenge their shame.

Elevate this matter to the level of national righteousness, supplemented by the tragic situation, instigate this matter to the level of political correctness, and then increase the possibility that the imperial court will allow itself to attack Guihua City to avenge its shame.

As for whether Zhu Yijun supports this matter, it is hard to say, but Xiao Ruxun felt that Zhu Yijun hoped that he would stay in the position of the governor of the four sides for a while to help him complete the layout.

Xiao Ruxun also wants to go out of the Great Wall to see the real situation outside the Great Wall. The current situation may be different from the original one. He wants to do some on-the-spot investigation so that he can propose to Zhu Yijun a practical, detailed and feasible strategy for turning passive into active in the north. .

Zhu Yijun's support is still helpful to Xiao Ruxun, at least it can have a little influence on the cabinet.

Xu Guangqi didn't see Xiao Ruxun's true intentions, but Xu Guangqi could see Xiao Ruxun's idea of ​​attacking outside the Great Wall. He could clearly see that Xiao Ruxun had exaggerated the plight of the people here several times, and even wrote "North Prisoners" Eat young children and young women as rations" and so on.

This is obviously nonsense, because there is so much food for the northern captives here that they can't finish it. They are richer than the food of the Ming army. Now the food is so large that it can support [-] refugees. The northern captives have so much food to eat. How can it eat people?

But Xiao Ruxun wrote like this, would anyone still be able to defend Beilu?
"Governor, are you writing this in order to persuade the imperial court to agree to the army's attack beyond the Great Wall?"

Xu Guangqi collected his pen and ink, and looked at Xiao Ruxun.

"That's natural. If you don't write it like this, you don't want the courtiers to feel ashamed. How could they allow the army to cross the Great Wall and attack beyond the Great Wall? According to them, fighting a war is spending money, and spending money is scraping their lifeblood, for their own life. Son, what else can they not give up? It is a pity that Taizu's entire strategy has been given up by them!"

Xiao Ruxun was quite helpless.

"It does cost a lot of money for the army to attack outside the Great Wall, and in the usual way, they don't get much. Therefore, some people probably feel that the gain is not worth the loss because of this, so they don't support it?"

Xu Guangqi seemed to be trying to excuse someone.

"Mr. Xu's words are great."

Xiao Ruxun said seriously: "Can the matter of attacking the enemy outside the Great Wall be considered in terms of pure money? Or is it that the courtiers only see their own money losses, but they don't see that the losses in other places are greater than ours?"

Xu Guangqi opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and said, "This is not certain, right? It's not that there are no wise men in the court, it's just..."
