Chapter 753: Hong Taiji's Choice
The continuous defeats against the Tiger and Leopard Army, Huang Taiji, who was also far away from the pass, elevated the investigation of the Tiger and Leopard Army to the strategic height of the Later Jin Dynasty. Chinese website new address:
Therefore, almost all the actions of the Tiger and Leopard Army in Beijing could not escape the eyes of Later Jin Xizuo.
When Emperor Chongzhen received the news that the Tiger and Leopard Army had expanded its army by 300,000, Huang Taiji, who was far away from the pass, also received the news and immediately found the military commander Fan Wencheng to discuss the huge impact this news might have on the Later Jin Kingdom...
"The 300,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers are all equipped with muskets and artillery... Khan, you are sure that the contents in the intelligence are true..." After reading the information, Fan Wencheng's first reaction was shocked. He asked Huang Taiji in an incredible look on his face.
As a military advisor, the first thing you have to do is to give your master advice and solve the difficulties...
Therefore, after the Tiger and Leopard Army rose to the number one enemy of the Later Jin army, Fan Wencheng conducted a very detailed study on the Tiger and Leopard Army.
It would be fine if I didn’t study it, but once I studied it, Fan Wencheng was shocked by the powerful strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Among all the research on the Tiger and Leopard Army, what shocked Fan Wencheng the most was not the muskets and cannons equipped by the Tiger and Leopard Army, nor the food and salary that far exceeded the Later Jin army... but the huge consumption of the Tiger and Leopard Army every month...
The 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Army, the military pay alone costs 1.5 million taels of silver every year. If we count the consumption of equipment and ammunition during normal training, it is 2 million taels. You must know that these 2 million taels of silver are not included in the logistics supply of the 10,000 army for a year...
Through careful investigation and self-inferior, a tiger and leopard army of 10,000 yuan will add up all the consumption of a year, and if it is converted into silver, it will be a total of three million taels of silver...
Ten thousand people need three million taels of silver, and 300,000 people don’t want ninety million taels of silver…
With half of the Ming Dynasty, which is currently in the war, can the Tiger and Leopard Army spend 90 million taels of silver to build a military army every year?
So, after reading the information, Fan Wencheng had a deep doubt about the information content with just one glance...
However, Huang Taiji obviously believed in the information content...
As soon as Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Huang Taiji spoke affirmatively: "There is absolutely no problem for the 300,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers... This is the news that the warriors got from the Tiger and Leopard Army General Staff Headquarters..."
"When I just saw this information, Ben Khan didn't believe it either. However, after seriously thinking about the development trajectory of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Ben Khan found that nothing was impossible for the Tiger and Leopard Army to do..."
"In addition, the Tiger and Leopard Army General Staff Headquarters has issued an order to expand the army and conduct large-scale elections within several northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty... So, Ben Khan believed it, and the content of this information must be true..."
Huang Taiji believed it, and then his next doubts became meaningless...
So, as soon as Huang Tai Chi finished speaking, Fan Wencheng frowned.
He said to Huang Taiji with a serious expression: "Sweat, tens of thousands of elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers can fight my Later Jin army without fighting back. Once the 300,000 elite Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers are formed, the Tiger and Leopard Army can draw at least 100,000 elite elites to launch an attack on my Later Jin. At that time, no matter how hard I struggled, I will not be able to get rid of the ending of being destroyed by the Tiger and Leopard Army..."
"So, I think that before the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army is completed, I must come up with a specific way to break the situation..."
Although the analysis of military master Fan Wencheng sounds uncomfortable, what he said is true.
Therefore, Huang Taiji not only did not get angry because of this, but also showed a very recognized expression on his face.
After taking a deep breath, he asked Fan Wencheng with a embarrassed look: "Breaking the deadlock is easy to say, but it is difficult to do..."
"Military advisor, Ben Khan sees that you have analyzed so thoroughly, have you already had a specific solution..."
Fan Wencheng shook his head first, then nodded, and finally replied with a dilemma: "Shan, in the face of the powerful military strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army, any conspiracy will be easily disintegrated and has no effect... So, in front of the powerful enemy of the Tiger and Leopard Army, there is no solution..."
Just as a hint of disappointment flashed across Huang Taiji's face, Fan Wencheng changed his tone and continued: "But, I have an idea after analyzing the situation here. I don't know if it is feasible..."
At this time, Huang Tai Chi seemed to suddenly grab a life-saving straw in despair and asked subconsciously...
"What's your idea... Military advisor, if your idea can help the Later Jin Dynasty in times of crisis... Ben Khan decided that no matter how much everyone opposes, Ben Khan will still assign you a prince of a different surname..."
Fan Wencheng, who was a Jin slave in more than ten years later, knew very well the position and identity of the prince in the Later Jin Kingdom.
So, as soon as Huang Tai Chi finished speaking, a light flashed from Fan Wencheng's eyes.
Then, he analyzed to Fan Wencheng: "Khan, what I want to say is that no matter whether the Tiger and Leopard Army expands its army, it is impossible to shake him with the strength of my Later Jin... So, I thought that my Later Jin must take the initiative to give up the grassland outside the pass at a critical moment and retreat to the mountains... When the time is right, then go out to the mountain to fight back..."
"As for the opportunity mentioned by the slave, one day in the future, the bloody battle between the Tiger and Leopard Army and the court..."
When he heard himself mentioning the imperial court far away in Nanjing, a very obvious expression of contempt flashed across Huang Tai Chi's face.
It is obvious that the Ming Dynasty court had already imprinted adjectives of cowardice and incompetence in Huang Tai Chi's heart.
Faced with this situation, Fan Wencheng quickly explained: "Khan, don't underestimate the current Ming Dynasty court. Since he was driven to Nanjing, the court has become different from the past... Not only did he have silver, but he also trained more than 100,000 new troops... "" The slave just got a news here... In the battle to capture Gan and Ning provinces, the Tiger and Leopard Army lost the total strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the hands of the New Army of the Court, reaching more than 7,000 people in four regiments, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses... "
"Because of this, I am sure that sooner or later, an unprecedented decisive battle will break out between the Tiger and Leopard Army and the court... and the chance of our Later Jin Kingdom rising again is in this decisive battle..."
Huang Taiji, who was still solemn and had dim eyes just now, was shot out two rays of light directly from his eyes.
It is obvious that Huang Tai Chi once again saw the hope of the Later Jin Dynasty from Fan Wencheng's analysis.
However, this hope did not last long on Huang Tai Chi's face, and was replaced by Xuan Ran again.
Avoiding the edge for the moment is indeed the best way to avoid extinguishing fires for the Later Jin Kingdom at this moment.
