Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 462 Liaodong Development Plan

In the Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong capital was clearly next to Zhili, but in terms of administrative division, it was assigned to Ludi in Shandong by Zhu Yuanzhang!This arrangement reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's political wisdom.

The Xianbei of Wuhuluhua came from Donghu and Liaodong, and Goguryeo, which caused headaches in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, came from Fuyu, Liaodong, and Liaodong was even more terrible. First, it was a Khitan that made the Song Dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty fight for a lifetime. The North China Plain became a tug-of-war battlefield between farming peoples and nomadic peoples like Khitan, and the rising Jin Kingdom was even more powerful. It captured Bianliang City, the most prosperous city in the world at that time, and even forced the Song Dynasty to have Han. The unprecedented humiliation of Jingkang.

Faced with the huge amount of war extortion by the Jin people, the Song Dynasty, who could not afford so much money, even took out the queen, noble concubine, princess, and even the young wives and daughters of the scholar-bureaucrats and common people as indemnities, and gave them to the Jin people as slaves.

The men of the 80 imperial guards did not dare to fight, and used women's bodies to please foreign races. In addition to humiliation, the horror of the Jin people can also be seen in the shock caused to those comfortable scholar-bureaucrats in the Northern Song Dynasty.

So Lao Zhu frowned, this place is not easy!

The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty started in Liaodong, and after driving northward to expel the Yuan Dynasty, the conquered Duoyan Sanwei was placed here as a barrier for the Ming Dynasty, and then Zhu Yuanzhang set up densely packed guards and towns in Liaodong. Small half of Siberia.

However, the folk customs here are fierce, and there are large armies. Zhu Yuanzhang, who has delusions of persecution, is worried about setting up military and political chiefs alone or making them belong to Hebei. Moreover, in terms of military affairs, the Liaoxi Corridor is too narrow. However, the million reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty could not get out of the customs, so the cross-age administrative division of Liaodong subordinate to Shandong appeared.

Politically, across the sea, the local chief executive of Shandong has no way to collude with the barbarians in Liaodong and cultivate enough rebellious forces. In military terms, Shandong crosses the sea to pay the Liaodong army. Even if Shanhaiguan is cut off, the huge Liaodong will not As for losing.

Even a series of games between the Ming court and the Hou Jin around the Guanning Jin line of defense in the late Ming Dynasty also reflected this strategic thinking. Dongjiang Town, supported by Shandong Sea, stabbed the Jurchens in the back, except that Jinzhou was the only other entrance of the Liaoxi Corridor. Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan are very close to the sea. When Yuan Chonghuan won the victory in Ningyuan, the support food and grass from Shandong were stored on Juehua Island. After Hong Chengchou Songjin was defeated, it was recorded that the corpses of the Ming army floated across the sea.

Now Wang Hou’s strategy in Liaodong is similar to that of the Ming people in Liaodong. They all use Shandong as their support and springboard and travel by sea.

However, whether it is Shanhaiguan or Ningyuan, the two crucial nodes of the Guanning Jin defense line, Wang Hou is currently unable to develop them.

At first, Wang Hou thought that the torrential rain and swamps in the West Liao Corridor were caused by the natural phenomenon of the glacial period at the end of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, he learned from the Liao people who had lived in the east of Liaodong for a long time. Yes, if the scientific name of later generations should be called Bohai Sea Invasion.

The tide that rolls up the coastline with the turbulent waves every year makes the long and narrow Liaoxi Corridor soak in the water for eight or nine months a year, and freezes in winter for the rest of the time.

The reason why Wuhuan’s Liucheng is geographically important is because it is stuck on an important node of the old west road in and out of Liaodong. The way the country fled back to the country of Yan.

This is also the second and third reasons why Wang Hou couldn't gain a foothold in Liuchengli. He set up a royal court in Liucheng, and you, Wang Hou, came here to build the city and build the village. What's the matter?Are you quite the second!Even if Mr. Cao doesn't care, he can't stand someone in the court who keeps chewing their tongues.

Besides, what Mr. Cao cares about is that the entrance to the old road of the Han Dynasty is blocked here, and the sea road is now controlled by Wang Hou's Qingzhou. Once Wang Hou seals both points, Cao Cao wants to enter Liaodong again. You have to wait for three or nine days in the severe cold month to walk out of the fortress with big ice blocks, but now Qingzhou produces cotton padded clothes, and Cao Jun, who is freezing in the cold, competes with the Qingzhou army, who is wearing a big padded jacket and is steaming from the back of his neck. It is clear at a glance who is better and who is worse. .

Even if the chance of meeting Cao Cao in battle is not very high, Wang Hou has to consider it, so as not to make Mr. Cao fearful.

The third reason is that they are too close to the Xianbei people. Now that Wuhuan has been defeated, many tribes have fled to Xianbei. According to the wolf-like greed of the Xianbei people, Wang Hou does not believe that they should not come to Liaodong to participate in peace. Now His strength is not enough to compete with Xianbei, and it is really disadvantageous to stay in Liucheng.

Calculated in this way, Wang Hou has to thank Tian Yu for setting fire to Liucheng and ordering the Han people to reclaim and plant the wheat field. However, Wang Hou obviously did not have such a high level of consciousness. While scolding Tian Yu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Once the two places are eliminated, Wang Hou can gain a foothold there, leaving the Qing army stuck in his throat, and Zu Dashou is stuck in Jinzhou City in the 15th year of Chongzhen like a millennium king.

This place is a strategically important place. Not only did the two emperors of the Qing Dynasty get stuck during the struggle for hegemony in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but the Jinzhou sniper battle was also an extremely important part of the later Liaoshen Campaign. More importantly, it set up a border in the Liaodong Plain. Son, but the Gongsun family didn't pay much attention to it. The attention of the two generations of Liao lords, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, was all on Xiangping by the Liao River, which is the later Liaoyang City.

Distance creates beauty, and staying here will not stimulate Gongsun's family to jump over the wall for the time being, but it can develop slowly and slowly.

Starting from Liucheng, they traveled down the Daling River all the way for five or six days, and a bend at the confluence of the Daling River and the Xiaoling River suddenly appeared in sight.

Here you can't see the danger of the battleground for military strategists hundreds of years later. There are swamps everywhere. Only the place near the Montenegro is dry, but the river is really rich in water and grass. Just walk by the water. You can see big fish dangling in the water, groups of wild cranes are still walking around in the swamp, looking down to pick up fish and shrimp to fill their stomachs, looking east from here, it is really a big plain .

The army stopped here. Those Han people who had just experienced captivity, burned their homes, and were kidnapped for more than 100 miles tiredly rested their rugs from the Lele car. It was still dry at the foot of Montenegro. Set up camp on the plain.

Just like the nomads, the yurts popped up one after another like mushrooms after the rain, and in just one day, they were densely covered with a large area.

However, even though he rested his luggage, the big guy is obviously in a bad mood. There are too many swamps in this place and it is too wet. It was too late to replant the fertile land reclaimed in Liucheng. After the yurts were set up, groups of Han people were still moaning and dazed. Some of them didn’t know what to eat tomorrow.

It's just that compared with the worried citizens under his command, Wang Hou, as the lord, himself is extraordinarily relaxed and happy.

This is his first home outside the customs!
