Chapter 2467
With the level of national strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it is indeed a bit powerless to support an army of 20 to fight in the Northeast for a long time and wipe out the remnants of the Manchu Qing who fled everywhere.
Especially in terms of logistical supplies, since the Manchus and the Qing implemented measures to fortify the walls and clear the fields during their retreat, it was difficult for the Ming army to obtain supplies from the warring areas. Now most of the supplies needed by the 20 troops have to be transported from within the pass. There are as many as 10 civilians who are responsible for the transportation of luggage online alone, and the long journey makes the supply of materials timeless at all.
With so many combatants, the materials and funds consumed every day are astronomical. If they can't make a quick decision locally, then Daming really can't bear the consumption, and will soon have to apply for a huge loan from Haihan. .
Although the Manchu Qing lost Shenyang City, it had been operating in the Northeast for many years, and its foundation was still very deep, and it was still able to organize a large number of cavalry to fight guerrillas with the Ming army.Before the follow-up battle entered winter, the Ming army on the front line was already complaining.
On the one hand, the Qing army changed its strategy of frontal combat. Now it comes and goes quickly and does not love to fight. It is difficult for the Ming army to concentrate its forces to carry out an annihilation war against it. There was a shortage of supplies such as food and grass, which greatly affected the combat effectiveness.
Until the arrival of the early winter of this year, the Ming army's combat operations in this area have not made much progress. The imperial court had no choice but to let the Ming army outside the pass retreat to Shenyang first, and at the same time withdraw most of the troops to the pass.After all, most of the troops who went out to fight were mobilized from the inland states. Now that the war has come to an end, it is time for them to return to their original station.
The Ming army who stayed outside the pass to garrison Jinzhou, Shenyang and other places were basically from Liaodong, and now they have taken back their original garrisons.But in order to regain this lost ground, it took Daming more than 20 years.And if it wasn't for Haihan's help, I'm afraid there would never be a chance to recover the Shenyang area.
Of course, Haihan didn't just watch the fun during this process. After Chen Yixin got the news that Manqing had lost Shenyang, he quietly sent troops out to the mouth of the Daliao River and set up a camp to station them.
When the Ming army came here, Haihan announced that this place had been taken over by Haihan, and the area south of the mouth of the Daliao River would be under the jurisdiction of Haihan from now on.
Of course, the demarcation concession made by Huang Taiji to Chen Yixin in the negotiation did not reach this point, but now that the Manchu Qing has retreated to the north of Shenyang, and can no longer take into account the boundary division with Haihan, Chen Yixin will naturally not be polite. How much can be accounted for.
When the Manchu Qing first requested peace talks with Haihan, Chen Yixin once opened his mouth like a lion and asked the Manchu Qing to cede all the areas south of the line connecting the mouth of the Daliao River and the Yalu River.Although the Manchu Qing never agreed to this condition, but today the Manchu Qing can no longer take into account the Liaodong Peninsula after their defeat, and it can be regarded as a curve to realize Chen Yixin's bold vision.
From here, the entire Liaodong Peninsula is under Haihan's control.Although there may still be local officials and armed personnel left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty in some areas, these are not harmful to the overall situation, and it only needs a little effort to clean them up.
And Daming didn't have a good way to deal with Haihan's blatant means of usurpation. Both the government and the public knew that the imperial court was able to recover large areas of Liaodong because of Haihan's assistance, and turning against Haihan was tantamount to asking for trouble.
Moreover, Haihan at this time is no longer the situation it was in the first few years. After occupying large areas of Shandong and Liaodong, the strength of Haihan stationed in the Bohai Bay area also increased accordingly.Not only is there the North Sea Fleet, which has an absolute superiority in combat power, but the army has also grown to nearly 2 people.
At present, the northern theater under the command of Chen Yixin has a brigade of army troops each deployed in Liaodong, Shandong and North Korea. In addition, there are independent cavalry regiments and artillery regiments in the Liaodong direction.Although these troops have not participated in wars in the past two or three years, the various military exercises every year will still make the outside world clearly aware of the strength gap between themselves and the Haihan Army.
Although Daming still sent envoys to negotiate with Chen Yixin, hoping that Haihan could return the recently occupied Liaodong land and restore the actual control line between the two sides to the area stipulated in the 1639 Golden State Peace Treaty, but this kind of attempt without any confidence is naturally unreasonable. Chen Yixin resolutely rejected Daming's request, and claimed that "Haihan's control of these areas is to rescue the local Han people and help them completely escape the fate of being enslaved by the Manchu Qing."
The envoys of the Ming Dynasty were naturally dissatisfied with this statement, and emphasized again that these areas had been the territory of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and that the Ming Dynasty was the orthodox ruler of these areas, but this statement was obviously not convincing in front of Chen Yixin.
Chen Yixin reminded the other party that Haihan, like Daming, is also governed by Han people, so they are also qualified to rule the areas where Han people live.
This is quite blatant. It is obvious that Haihan’s goal is not just the Liaodong Peninsula. The Ming’s ruled area may become Haihan’s territory in a certain period of time in the future, and even the entire dynasty will be replaced by Haihan. .
When the frustrated envoy brought the news back to the capital, it inevitably caused a lot of chaos in the Ming Dynasty Hall.Even the officials of the peace faction who have been advising to live in peace with Haihan in the past few years cannot avoid such sharp contradictions at this time, while the officials of the main war faction are more direct, thinking that the court should take advantage of the fact that there are still a large number of people inside and outside the customs. The troops were all in a combat state, and immediately launched an offensive on the spot to drive the Haihan army, which had not gained a stable foothold, back to Jinzhou.
If you don't act quickly, it will take a few more years for Haihan to complete the construction of troops in this area, and then it will become an iron barrel formation like Jinzhou, and there will be no possibility of regaining it.
But even if he wanted to do something, Daming had to face up to the actual situation on the ground. Haihan's garrison was almost always near the coastline, and he could get supplies and support from the sea at any time.Even if Ming Dynasty dispatched a large army to surround these garrison locations, it would be very difficult to carry out a war of annihilation against the Haihan Army.
And if this is done, it will definitely give Hai Han a reason to use force, and Hai Han may not be able to choose the location of the battle at that time.The entire coastline of the Bohai Bay may become the landing site of the Haihan army, and the closest point to the capital is only three hundred miles away.Once the war starts, the capital will soon fall into the opponent's attack range.
