1154 Cheered Huang Taiji
Huang Taiji continued, "You should have seen their cavalry. Can you estimate how many of them are? How is their war horses?"
Brennan said: "It is estimated that at least five or six thousand people will be needed! As for the war horses, the situation is very good."
Huang Taiji understood this clearly and carefully when he heard this! Liu Pei's entire plan was as clear as it was unfolding in front of him. But this did not mean that he had the ability to stop this plan.
In fact, he had no ability to stop the fall of the Liaodong Peninsula. The reason is very simple. He is now only more than a day away from Jinzhou. Moreover, according to the horse snooping report, Hong Chengchou led his army within three days of Jinzhou! In other words, the two sides may meet at any time, and an abnormal bloody battle can be said to be about to break out!
At this time, if he transfers the army, he must untie the encirclement of Jinzhou. This means that Huang Taiji's strategy has failed completely! The Ming army will use Jinzhou as a stronghold to strengthen its control over the surrounding areas and compress the Qing army's control range! Once the Ming army is allowed to gain a foothold, Huang Taiji's palace will be within the attack range of the Ming army!
Besides, if the Jinzhou stronghold cannot be pulled out this time, not only will the dead people die in vain this time, but more people will die in attacking Jinzhou again in the future! And this problem is precisely the shortest part of the Qing army! Because their population is too small! Even if they keep catching the wild Jurchens from the old forest and returning to supplement their combat effectiveness, it is too late!
Just when Huang Taiji was irritated, he suddenly felt that when his nose became hot, a heat flowed out of his nose!
Huang Taiji immediately reached out and pulled out a piece of white silk and covered it on his nose. The white silk was quickly wet. Huang Taiji knew that his nose was bleeding again!
In fact, Huang Taiji had a heavy bleeding on his nose while rushing to Jinzhou.
According to historical records, when Huang Taiji led his army to advance, his nose had bleeding heavily! At that time, he could not stop the bleeding quickly when he rode on his horse, so he could only use a bowl to continue!
But I thought this was a rumor. The bleeding must be true. I just haven't heard of anyone who has bleeding noses without blocking silk cloth, but using a bowl to catch blood! Are you still waiting to drink it?
However, this historical record clearly shows that Huang Taiji's health is already very poor! There is a possibility of multiple intracranial pressure bleeding!
Huang Taiji tried hard to raise his head and tried to stop the bleeding. The guards beside him also quickly called clear water and brought new silk cloth. It can be seen that they were already used to doing these things!
Brennan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at everything in front of him with fear. After a long time, Huang Taiji's nose bleeding finally stopped. He lowered his head and said to Brennan: "Don't tell what happened today, do you know?"
Brennan immediately lowered his head and said, "I understand!"
Huang Taiji stared at Brennan and nodded with satisfaction, and said to the guards beside him: "Detain him first in the back camp, and don't let him contact anyone."
Brennan, who was kneeling on the ground, was relieved when he heard this and kowtowed to Huang Taiji repeatedly. Because he had just looked at Huang Taiji, he knew that the news he reported was extremely important. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not be so excited that he was bleeding from his nose!
So he had already thought that he might be silenced. He had already been waiting to die and knew that he was just being imprisoned, which was a blessing! So he followed the guards obediently.
Huang Taiji sent the extra people out of the big tent, and the tent became quiet again. Huang Taiji covered his face with a handkerchief and began to slowly pace the big tent.
At this moment, he was facing a dilemma. Continue to attack Jinzhou, and the possibility of victory is relatively high. This can completely eliminate the Ming Dynasty's strength outside the pass, so that they will never dare to extend their hands outside the pass again.
This is what happened in normal history. After the failure of the Battle of Songshan, the strategy during the Ming Dynasty completely entered a passive attack. This situation did not change until the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
But doing so would be equivalent to allowing Liu Pei's Liaodong Peninsula to develop. Once the Liaodong Peninsula is lost, it would be like Mao Wenlong's era to return! He could no longer attack the Ming Dynasty unscrupulously because he had to be careful of the knife stabbed in his back! Moreover, this knife was much sharper than Mao Wenlong's era!
But if he divided his troops to the Liaodong Peninsula, neither Jinzhou nor Liaodong Peninsula would be able to
Winning. This is contrary to his usual way of concentrating superior forces in combat. So this idea was directly excluded by him.
If the entire army attacks the Liaodong Peninsula, the victory or defeat will not be discussed, and the Ming Dynasty will gain a foothold near Jinzhou. Even if the country attacks Jinzhou again next time, there will be more casualties and injuries, and the price will be even greater.
However, Huang Taiji was still far-sighted after all. He quickly made a decision, which was to mobilize the remaining troops in his nest to strengthen Gaizhou's defense, and at the same time, shrink all the troops in Yongning and Fuzhou to Gaizhou.
As for the battle in Jinzhou, we will continue. We will first completely defeat the people before we can turn around and deal with Liu Pei. Anyway, according to various current situations, the relationship between Liu Pei and the court is not harmonious.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but think that maybe he would become a bridge of communication between him and Liu Pei. At least he would be much easier to send an envoy in southern Liaoning!
After making the decision, Huang Taiji confirmed to the second lieutenant that the news would not be leaked. Then he went to bed and fell asleep. Now he needed enough energy to face a fierce battle.
In more than ten days, Liu Pei completely cleaned up the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. At the same time, Nanguan City and Jinzhou City in the narrow area of Jinzhou were also renovated.
As Liu Pei brought continuous investment in the resources, the two cities were built into solid fortresses! At the same time, more than two bastions were built around each city to protect the safety of the city.
Moreover, Liu Pei also did something that would make Huang Taiji furious! That is, he sent all the cavalry to move all the villages north of Jinzhou City to the vicinity of Yongning to the back of Jinzhou City. He made the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula bare and empty! The migrant population will reopen villages in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and they will become Liu Pei's soldiers and grain bases.
