Chapter 191 Jurchen Soldiers Surround the Capital

"Your Majesty think twice!"

He Liu and the other two hurriedly stepped forward and said that Su Hao had chosen to discuss peace and let Yuan Chonghuan lead an army of 200,000 north. They could understand that as martial arts practitioners, they also had their own blood. Rebellion was just for self-protection and for a future. Since ancient times, kings, princes, generals and ministers have never had a genius. Who said that the world can only belong to the Old Zhu family?

But now Su Hao still wants to capture Liaodong, which is the territory of the Jurchens. If the Jurchens can escape from the pass, then they are equivalent to attracting the firepower of the Jurchens for the Ming Dynasty.

"Don't worry, I'm not ready to attract the attention of the Jurchens for the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing the expressions of Tang Xiangjin and others, Su Hao knew what the people were thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "This time Yuan Chonghuan led a 200,000 army north. Even if the Jurchens who entered the pass could leave, there would definitely be a lot of casualties. Whether they could continue to defend Chenyang City was a problem, and they would definitely not have the energy to deal with us again."

Although Huang Taiji led his troops into the pass this time, he did not send all his troops, but most of the elites of the Jurchens were also the ones. According to the information sent back by the spies, the four major benefactors, Amin, Daishan, Mangurtai, Huang Taiji, Ajige, Dorgon, Dodo, and Jirhalang, all of them had all been dispatched. The personal soldiers of these eight people alone had more than 10,000, which were the absolute elites of the Jurchens. And the other Eight Banners soldiers who could be selected by Huang Taiji to attack the pass were not weak.

There is no need to do much. As long as half or even one-third of the death is enough for the Jurchens to be seriously injured. It is okay to block the Ming army and defend Chenyang City next, but it is unlikely to divide the troops to deal with him.

Moreover, the troubles of the Jurchens are not only the Ming army, but also the Mongolians. The grassland only talks about strength. Before, the Jurchens were strong, and those Mongolian tribes had to surrender. But if the Jurchens were greatly damaged this time, those Mongolian tribes would definitely resist as soon as possible.

Compared with the importance of Mongolia to the Jurchens, Liaodong is much inferior. Otherwise, the Jurchens would not have left Mao Wenlong, a nail that could threaten Liaodong at any time. If the Jurchens were asked to choose one between Liaodong and Mongolian grasslands, the Jurchens would definitely choose the Mongolian grasslands.

This is also the conclusion he came to after careful consideration in the past few days, and he is also preparing to train with the Jurchens. Now his troops have been trained for more than half a year and have no problems in combat power, but their practical experience is extremely expensive.

However, training troops with the Ming army in Shandong was too risky. Unlike the Jurchens, the Ming army has always been known for its large number of people and power, and Shandong has no danger to defend. Once it is defeated, it will be a disaster. Therefore, this is why he chose to defend even though he was not much less than Yuan Chonghuan in terms of military strength.

Because when fighting with the Ming army was a decisive battle, either a big victory or a big defeat, and the Ming Dynasty could afford it. Even if Yuan Chonghuan was defeated, it would be difficult for him to expand his territory, because in the big cities around Shandong, the Ming Dynasty had at least 20,000 to 30,000 troops stationed, and it would not be possible for him to capture it for a short time.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty could recruit new recruits from other places at any time and make a comeback, but he couldn't do it. Once he was defeated, it would be a situation of no return.

However, it is different in Liaodong. There is a sea in the middle as a barrier. Even if it is defeated, it will not have any impact on the Shandong base camp. Moreover, he does not intend to send too many troops to Liaodong. There are 30,000 to 40,000 people at a time. This time, the Jurchens will definitely suffer great damage. The Ming Dynasty will inevitably seek to regain Liaodong. The Jurchens will defend Chenyang City and the Mongolian grasslands. Even if they want to deal with him, they will not send much troops.

However, his main purpose was to the land in Liaodong. Now the land in Shandong has reached its limit. Previously, more than 200,000 people fleeing in northern Zhili were pouring in. He knew very well that there would be more and more natural disasters in the future, and more refugees would come.

More importantly, he must recruit more soldiers in the past five years, but expanding his troops requires more food, and more food requires more territory. It is difficult for the Central Plains to expand the territory.

That's why he fell in love with the land of Liaodong. As long as he drove the Jurchens to the grassland, he could have more territory. Although the Liaodong was cold, it was a treasure land and no one occupied it. He could completely build the entire Liaodong into a huge military garrison. Within five years, Liaodong could provide him with a large amount of food and allow him to recruit more soldiers.

After thinking for a while, Su Hao continued: "The reason why I want to capture Liaodong is mainly because I am worried that the Jurchens will be seriously injured by the Ming Dynasty and will be unable to defend Liaodong anymore. Therefore, we must occupy Liaodong before the Jurchens escape and restrain the Ming Dynasty's troops in Liaodong."

Although he didn't think Huang Taiji and the others would fall into the Ming Dynasty so easily, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid that if he was the unlucky child of Huang Taiji really fell into Chongzhen's hands, he could also seize the opportunity and get Liaodong.

In the past few months, due to the transaction with Mao Wenlong, the navy has also improved a lot. After leaving the sea several times, he also selected a group of useful sailors from the army, and sea transportation is still guaranteed.

"I understand."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Tang Xiangjin and others could only respond. The Great Qi was created by Su Hao. Now Su Hao has made up his mind to expand his territory in Liaodong, and they have no choice.

"Governor Tang, I ordered you to lead 40,000 troops to Liaodong and recover Jinzhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei."

Su Hao said in a deep voice: "I will send people to Liaodong to recruit local Han people and build a stone fort."

"I obey the order."

Hearing Su Hao's order, Tang Xiangjin bowed and replied.



After repelling Tang Xiangjin and the other four, Su Hao asked someone to find Liao Qing.

"I asked you to go to other prefectures to recruit experts. What's the situation?"

Su Hao asked, in addition to the lack of troops in the Great Qi side, the masters are also a big weakness.

"Go back to your Majesty, the spies from the Black Ice Platform have sneaked into other mansions, but now all recruited second-rate or third-rate warriors. No one of the first-rate warriors is willing to defect to us."

Liao Qing bowed and replied.

When Su Hao heard this, he was not surprised. Although there were many experts from the people, at least one of the powerful people who could reach the first-class level were the powerful people who wanted to let others abandon their families and go to Daqi. Daqi is not enough now. Since ancient times, there have been more icing on the cake and fewer helping him in time.

"Let the spy speed up."

After thinking for a while, Su Haodandan said: "Now Da Qi and Da Ming have negotiated peace, and Da Qi's reputation has increased greatly, which should attract some masters."

"I obey the order."

Liao Qing bowed and replied.

Su Hao continued: "In addition, he ordered Wu Shi and the others to return to Shandong, and there was no need to stay in Huai'an Mansion."

"I'll let you go to Huai'an Prefecture."



Not to mention that Su Hao was preparing to capture Liaodong, the news of the Jurchens entering the pass had gradually spread, and countless people from Ji Liao areas fled one after another.

"I obey the order!"

Han bowed and replied.

………

On the other side.

More than ten miles away from Shunyi City, a huge cavalry unit was camping.

In the camp, Huang Taiji, Daishan, Jiergalang, Yuetuo, Dudu and other Eight Banners generals gathered together. There was an extremely simple hand-painted map on the sand table in the middle. Except for the location of the capital, the rest of the place was blank.

"Now we are less than a hundred miles away from the Ming people's capital."

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Where have Manguertai and the others now?"

Yue Tuo said: "Returning to the Khan, according to the reconnaissance of the detective, the San Beile and the others have arrived near Tongzhou and are rushing towards this side."

After saying that, he couldn't help but complain to the Mongolian general on the side: "Orgrad, don't you have a better map? How do you look at this map?"

Without a map, it is not easy to move forward. Once you take the wrong path, it will be troublesome and it is easy to fall into the trap of the Ming people. It is also not easy to send a reconnaissance cavalry to reconnaissance terrain. This is already the capital of the Ming people, and there are reconnaissance cavalry everywhere. Sending a reconnaissance cavalry is likely to be killed.

"Yue Tuobeile forgives his sins."

Hearing Yue Tuo's words, Orgler could only say with a bitter face: "We have been driven from the Central Plains for more than two hundred years, and there is no map left at all."

"Yuetu, don't blame Orgler."

Huang Taiji waved his hand and said, "Besides, even if there is a map left, the world has changed for more than two hundred years, and it will be useless."

"Thank you, Khan, for your understanding."

Upon hearing this, Orgrad quickly saluted.

"Yue Tuo, please send a message to Mangguertai to walk slowly, and three days later, gather in the Ming people's capital."

After thinking for a while, Huang Taiji said.

Yue Tuo nodded and said, "Yes, Khan."



Time passed little by little, and as the Jurchens got closer, the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger.

At this time, Deng Kui also rushed to the capital with 30,000 troops, and then merged into the king-supporting troops of Datong General Man Gui and Xuanfu General Hou Shilu.

………

Capital.

Outside Desheng Gate, Man Gui and Hou Shilu stood in the car and looked into the distance. At this time, dust was flying for more than thirty miles away, and it was obvious that a large army was approaching.

"Brother Man, how powerful are the Jurchens?"

Looking at the dust in the distance, Hou Shilu frowned. Although there were more than 30,000 people brought by Deng Kui, the Jurchens were all cavalrymen, and it was not easy to defend themselves.

"According to the spies' returns, there were about 10,000 cavalrymen along the way, and tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry."

Man Gui's expression was solemn: "This battle is not easy to fight."

"If it's not good, you have to fight."

Hou Shilu shook his head: "I heard from Deng Kui that General Guo has arrived with the remaining 70,000 people. He should be able to reach the capital in three days. Moreover, Governor Yuan also came with a 100,000 army. As long as we delay the Jurchens, we can achieve our contributions in one battle and completely destroy these Jurchens who entered the pass. At that time, the Jurchens will not be troubled."

"I don't have much hope."
