Yang Hao

Yang Hao

Yang Hao? He was born in Shangqiu, Henan Province (now Gushu town in Shangqiu, Henan Province), and was a general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Wanli eight years, in the Jinshi, granted Nanchang county magistrate. In the 24th year of Wanli (1596), Japan invaded Korea. In the following year, he was appointed as the censor of youjindu and was ordered to manage the military affairs of aiding Korea. In the first month of the 26th year, the Ming army was defeated in Yushan. Yang Hao concealed the news of the defeat and lied about his military achievements. He was dismissed and replaced by wanshide.

In the 38th year, he returned to be governor of Liaodong. In the 46th year, after the Jin Dynasty conquered Fushun, Yang Hao managed Liaodong with the right servant of the Ministry of war, and strongly advocated the crusade. In February of the next year (1619), Yang Hao, with more than 100000 people, divided into four routes to attack Houjin. The fourth Route Army included Du song, commander of Shanhaiguan, Li Rubai, commander of Liaodong, Ma Lin, commander of Kaiyuan, and Liu Qin, commander of Liaoyang, with Du song's department as the main force. Liu Zhen was brave and good at fighting, but he didn't get along with Yang Haosu. He was sent to the East Road and went deep alone. The fourth Route Army attempted to "advance separately and attack together", but because Du song underestimated the enemy, he fell in saerhu (today's Liaoning Fushun donghun Henan), and the whole army was destroyed. Then Malin was defeated and fled to Kaiyuan, Liu Xuan died in battle, and only Li Rubai retreated. The battle of Sarhu was defeated, and more than 40000 soldiers were injured. Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost one after another. Yang hejiaozhang, the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty, impeached Yang Hao, so he was sent to prison, and Xiong Tingbi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, was appointed as the manager. In 1629, he was executed.

Life of the characters

I've made a lot of contributions

In the eighth year of Wanli (1580), Yang Hao was a Jinshi in the examination. He served as a magistrate of Nanchang and Lixian County, and then as a censor in the imperial court. He was transferred to Dali to judge the affairs. Later, he was promoted to Shandong counsellor and was responsible for defending liaohaidao. He once worked with the commander-in-chief Dong Yiyuan on a snowy night to attack the camp of the Mongolian fried flower Department. After a great victory, he moved to the post of deputy envoy. During this period, more than 130 hectares of wasteland were reclaimed, and more than 18000 tons of grain were stored every year. He was promoted to participate in politics.

Resist Japan and aid Korea

In the spring of the 25th year of Wanli (1597), Yang Hao and his deputy general Li Rumei went out to fight in the frontier fortress, and lost more than 160 soldiers. Just at this time, North Korea used military again. Shenzong ordered Yang Hao to be excused from his sin, promoted him to be the censor of youjindu, and asked him to manage the military affairs of North Korea. Yang Hao had not yet arrived in Korea, so he wrote a letter about ten things. Please allow the Korean officials and people to donate food and then be promoted, appointed and atoned for their sins. The township officials and servants would be exempted from their labor, which was mostly a matter of indulgence. And because the Korean monarchs and ministers hid their grain savings and did not pay the officers and soldiers, he wrote to expose the crimes of the Korean monarchs and ministers. So the North Koreans have a lot of resentment against him. at that time, Japanese generals such as president Xiaoxi and Qingzheng Kato had already occupied Nanyuan and Quanzhou. They also led troops to attack quanluo and Qingshang and forced Wang Jing with great power. Fortunately, Shen Weijing was captured and the Japanese pirates' guide was gone. North Korea was in recession after the war, and the Japanese had nothing to plunder. Therefore, they only accumulated military supplies in quanluo and planned to stay for a long time. At this time, the Chinese troops gradually gathered. On the first day of September, Yang Hao arrived in Wangjing. At that time, deputy general Xie Sheng and others repeatedly defeated the Japanese pirates, and the Korean troops also made war contributions several times, so the Japanese pirates retreated to Yushan. In December, Yang Hao summoned governor Xing Yu and governor Ma GUI to discuss the strategy of advancing troops. He decided to divide the 40000 troops into three groups. Deputy General Gao CE led the Chinese army. Li Rumei led the left side, Li Fangchun and Xie Sheng led the right side to attack Yushan. At the beginning, they tried to fight with a small number of troops. The Japanese came out to fight and were defeated. They all went to the island mountain and stationed there. They built three fences outside the island mountain city to protect us. When Yang Hao was an official in Liaodong, he made a deep acquaintance with Rumei. By this time, Chen Yin, a guerrilla, had successively knocked down two fences of the Japanese army, and the third one was about to come down. Because Li Rumei had not arrived yet, Yang Hao didn't want Chen Yin to take more credit than Li Rumei, so he called it quits. From then on, the Japanese army stayed in the city and waited for reinforcements. The Ming army was surrounded from all sides, the ground was muddy, and the time was severe in winter, the wind and snow split people's skin, and the soldiers lacked strong fighting spirit. The Japanese army day and night, with poison boiled marbles, was hit by the inevitable death. After another ten days of siege, the Ming army was unable to fight. When the Japanese realized that the Ming army was frustrated, they pretended to seek surrender and delay time.

Big loss

At the beginning of the 26th year of the Ming Dynasty, Yang's army was in a panic and ran after him. The Japanese army returned only after Wu Weizhong and guerrilla Mao were cut off, but most of the Ming army's supplies were lost. This campaign had been planned for several years, and all the forces in the country were used to unite the forces of the whole North Korea, which was defeated by Yang Hao. The Manchu and Korean civil and military personnel sighed for this. After Yang Hao escaped, he took Magui to Qingzhou. Fearing that the Japanese might attack him, he withdrew all his troops to Wangjing and, together with governor Xing Li, falsely defeated the imperial court. According to the number of people reported by the battalions, the Ming army died nearly 20000. Yang Hao was very angry. He suppressed the actual situation and did not report it to the court. He only said that more than 100 people had died. Yang Hao's father died at this time, and the imperial court ordered him to restrain his filial piety and continue to handle state affairs. Wang Xian'an, the imperial censor, once impeached Yang Hao for other crimes, but his cabinet officials sheltered him and drafted an imperial edict to praise him, which had not been published for a long time. Ding Yingtai, the chief painter of the painting, heard that Yang Hao had lost the battle. He went to ask Yang Hao about his future plans. Yang Hao showed Ying Tai the personal letters of Zhang Wei and Shen Yiguan, together with the unpublished imperial edict they drafted, and boasted of his achievements. Feeling angry, Ying Tai wrote to Kang Yan about the army's defeat in the war. He said that there were twenty-eight things Yang Hao should be accused of and ten things he was ashamed of. He impeached Zhang Wei and had always been a traitor with him. Emperor Wanli was extremely angry and wanted to punish them according to law. After Zhao Zhigao was rescued, Emperor Wanli dismissed Yang Hao, asked him to wait for verification, and asked Tianjin governor Wan Shide to replace him. Later, when the eastern expedition to Korea was over, Yang Yingwen talked about Yang Hao's achievements, and Emperor Wanli issued an imperial edict to appoint him again.

Return to governor

In 1610, Yang Haoqi became governor of Liaodong. During this period, he attacked Chaohua tribe in Zhen'an, and imperial censor Tian Shengjin impeached him and provoked a dispute. At that time, the war in Liaodong was very busy. Yang Hao strongly recommended Li Rumei and asked him to be reappointed as a general. He was impeached by Ma Fu and Yang He. Yang Hao pleaded and asked to leave. Shenzong didn't care. Yang Hao finally went back to his hometown. in April of the 46th year of Wanli (1618), later Jin Nuerhachi went out to fight against Fushun and killed the General Wang Mingyin. Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, urged Zhang Chengyin, the commander in chief, to go for reinforcement. Chengyin and his deputy commander, Po Ting, were killed, and the surrounding area was shocked. The imperial court considered that Yang Hao was familiar with the military affairs of Liaodong, so he was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of war and went to be the manager. After Yang Hao took office, he declared his discipline, enlisted troops from all sides, and planned to fight on a large scale. In July, the Qing troops beat down the Qinghe River from Yahu pass, and deputy general Zou Chuxian died. Emperor Wanli ordered that Yang Hao should be given a sword to kill the generals below the general. Yang Hao killed Chen Dadao and Gao Xuan, who escaped from Qinghe, and showed them in the army. In the winter of this year, a large number of reinforcements gathered from all over the country, and Yang Hao decided to join the army. At that time, the comet of Chiyou banner was as long as the whole sky, and comets appeared in the East. Meteorites occurred in the sky, and earthquakes occurred on the ground. Knowledgeable people think these are signs of failure. Scholars from the University, such as Zhe, Huang Jiashan, Minister of the Ministry of war, Zhao Xingbang, and others thought that the army had been stationed for a long time and lacked food and pay, so they sent red flags and urged Yang Hao to enter the army every day.

Decisive battle against Sarhu

In the first month of the 47th year of Wanli (1619), Yang Hao summoned governor Wang keshou, governor Zhou Yongchun, and Governor Chen Wangting to make a decision to take an oath on February 11 and go to war on February 21. The soldiers were divided into four routes: general officer Ma Lin sent troops to Kaiyuan to attack the north; Du song sent troops to Fushun to attack the West; Li Rubai sent troops from yahuguan to Qinghe to attack the South; in the southeast, Liu CI sent troops to Kuandian to help him after being rammed by Liangma Dian. It is known as 470000 soldiers. It is agreed that they will set out together at erdaoguan on March 2. At that time, it was snowing heavily and the troops refused to move forward. The time for sending troops was leaked out again. Dusong wanted to make a great contribution. He crossed Hunhe River first, drove to erdaoguan, and ambushed troops. Dusong's whole army was destroyed. Ma Lin, commander of Kaiyuan army, was ready to leave from Sanchakou. When he heard that Du song was defeated, he stood still and formed a camp to protect himself. The troops of the later Jin Dynasty stood high and fought bravely, but Ma Lin was defeated and fled. When Yang Hao heard about it, he hastened to send an order to stop the two troops of Li Rubai and Liu Dun, and Li Rubai stopped. At that time, Liu CI had gone deep into Hunhe river for 300 Li. Jin army attacked him, but he could not be attacked. Later, under the banner of Du song and wearing his armor, he deceived Liu Lian. After Jin Jun entered his barracks, there was chaos in Liu's barracks, and Liu died fighting hard. Only Li Rubai's army can be completely preserved. More than 310 people died before and after the civil and military generals, and more than 45800 soldiers. The number of horses, camels and weapons lost is beyond calculation. After the report of defeat was delivered to the imperial court, the capital was shocked, and the censor Yang he wrote to impeach him, but Emperor Wanli did not reply. Before long, Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost one after another. The officials wrote to impeach Yang Hao one after another. Yang Hao was arrested and sentenced to death. In the second year of Chongzhen (1628), Yang Hao Fufa.
