Chapter 346 Dilemma
In a turbulent situation, the strength and weakness of war potential often represent whether a force can achieve success in the battle situation.
Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and he held the memorials on the front line tightly. A cold light flashed through his eyes, and anger kept pouring up his chest.
Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, Sony was all down on his head. The Liaonan front line lost again, and the area around Xiuyan City was captured by Li Zicheng, causing considerable losses to the Eight Banners.
"Who can tell Ben Khan what exactly is this!"
Huang Taiji couldn't hide his anger and roared hysterically: "Why did the elite Han army who were in fierce battle with the rebels led by Li Zicheng in the area of Xiuyan City, equipped with thousands of self-produced muskets, not the opponent of the rebels?
Fan Wencheng, how do you, the minister of supervising firearms, do you do the wrong thing!
The military newspaper submitted by Dorgon said that the firearms and cannons we made in Dajin were not as good as those held by the rebels. Is this your assurance to Ben Khan?"
Fan Wencheng hurriedly fell to the ground.
Fan Wencheng was full of confidence in the batch of muskets and cannons he had supervised. After all, compared with the muskets and cannons he had previously seized on the battlefield, both range and power were stronger.
In order to supervise the construction of these firecrackers, Huang Taiji mobilized many guns and cannon craftsmen, smashed a lot of silver, and even dispatched many slaves to mine minerals, build workshops, and improve corresponding treatment, in order to enhance the combat power of the Eight Banners.
However, in actual combat, whether it was fighting with Li Zicheng's troops or fighting with the Dongjiang army led by Liu Xingzuo, they were ruthlessly suppressed.
Especially the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng, the gap between the two sides was only a little bit, but it was exactly this bit, which resulted in the failure of the Jianlu battlefield.
"King Khan, this must be the rebels led by Li Zicheng, who purchased more sophisticated muskets and cannons from the Ming army." Faced with Huang Taiji's anger, Fan Wencheng endured his fear and kowtowed.
"If we want to defeat the rebels, we must increase the investment in muskets and cannons, so that more guns and cannons will participate in the forging of firearms.
Especially when casting artillery, the method of casting iron cannot guarantee the continuous artillery attack of the artillery, and must be cast with copper."
hateful.
Damn it.
Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly, listening to what Fan Wencheng said, feeling angry. He paid a considerable price to cast these fire guns and cannons, but the result he received now was not what he did.
Want what you want.
It was from the time when Sun Chengzong and Liu Xingzuo were relied on, and the war situation in Liao area changed quietly over time.
Especially after the Liaodong Rebel Army led by Li Zicheng appeared in southern Liaoning, the advantages of the Eight Banners' Power Brigade were gradually being dismantled.
"Master, I think the rebels led by Li Zicheng should change the corresponding strategy." Sony fell to his knees on the ground and said to Huang Taiji.
"For our Eight Banners, no matter how strong our army is and how brave our combat is, it is ultimately impossible to defeat four hands with two fists. This is fully reflected in the past situation.
This is clearly Chongzhen's vicious plan.
I want to use the rebels led by Li Zicheng to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's army deployed in Liao territory to continuously reduce the strength of our Eight Banners to continuously recover the territory occupied by the Jin Dynasty."
"You mean to join forces with Li Zicheng?"
Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Sony and said, "Didn't this happen before? Several teams sent to the condemnation were surrounded and killed by Li Zicheng without exception."
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji is anger that cannot be concealed.
Once upon a time, their Eight Banners powerhouses suffered such humiliation, especially in the territory of Liaodong, which was always invincible.
But the current situation seems so passive.
"Master, in terms of the current situation, the slave thought he should give up Haizhou Guard, Dingliao Youwei and other places."
Sony gritted his teeth and lay on the ground and shouted: "Chongzhen wanted to continuously weaken the strength of our Eight Banners by supporting the rebels led by Li Zicheng. Why can't the Eight Banners turn around and destroy the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the rebels led by Li Zicheng?
As long as the relationship between the rebels led by the Ming Dynasty and Li Zicheng reversed in Liao territory, our Eight Banners temporarily contracted their defense line to ensure the stability of Liaoyang and other places, there would inevitably be gaps between them.
As long as their relationship could be destroyed, even during this period, our Eight Banners helped Li Zicheng lead the rebels to attack the Ming army that guarded Liao..."
"Enough!!"
An angry roar sounded in the hall, Huang Taiji's eyes widened and stared at Sony lying on the ground. He had previously lost the guards of western Liao and southern Liao, which caused great damage to the Eight Banners.
Now let the Eight Banners give up the Haizhou Guard, Dingliao Youwei and other places again. If they really dare to do this, there will inevitably be chaos within the Eight Banners.
Huang Taiji knew what Sony said was the most favorable choice based on the current situation. By temporarily avoiding the edge, the troops of the Ming Dynasty and Li Zicheng fought. At that time, the Eight Banners Powers chose to fight one faction and one faction. After the Ming Dynasty was repelled,
Then concentrate on your advantages to attack Li Zicheng's troops.
However, Huang Taiji had to consider the contradictions and hidden dangers within the Eight Banners.
"The guns, blacksmiths, etc. under the Casting and Issue Bureau will draw another batch of guns and cannons for you. When Dorgon was fighting on the front line, he seized some of the guns and cannons, and now he is on his way to Beijing."
Huang Taiji looked cold and looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "No matter what method you use, I must cast a batch of firearms and cannons that are stronger than they have been paid. Chongzhen wanted to weaken the strength of our Eight Banners through the rebels led by Li Zicheng.
That's simply a delusional thing.
In addition, the Neihirowenyuan conveyed the will of Ben Khan to the Ministry of War, and ordered the troops and horses of the front line to shrink their defense lines and not engage in battle with the rebels for the time being."
"twitter."
Everyone responded immediately.
The current changes in the Liao terrain situation have made Huang Taiji dare not start a war easily. The successive failures have caused great losses to the Eight Banners Power Brigade.
Although the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han Army were established one after another, as Sony said, two fists cannot beat four hands.
Must change.
"Come on, please call Li Yongfang to Ben Khan." Looking at Fan Wencheng and the others' backs, Huang Taiji, with a cold look in his eyes, shouted coldly.
"twitter."
A man ran into the hall and immediately knelt down and replied.
Although it is difficult for Li Zicheng to reach an agreement with him, this does not mean that others cannot reach any agreement in private. Faced with this dilemma, Huang Taiji decided to change his form to dismantle the rebel forces led by Li Zicheng, as long as the silver coins
