There are ten bright money rat-tailed heads in the room. You look at me and I look at you, their eyes full of ambition and desire.
Nurhaci said to Anfeyangu: "Master Korobatulu, please introduce the latest situation in the Ming Dynasty."
An Feiyanggu said: "Two emperors died in the Ming Dynasty one after another. Now a fifteen-year-old baby is on the throne, assisted by a group of radical civil servants. They removed Xiong Manzi and replaced him with Yuan Yingtai as the manager."
"Yuan Yingtai?! Hahahaha! He's just a scholar who has never fought~" Sanbeile Manggurtai was overjoyed, with a greedy smile on his face.
Nurhachi signaled to Mang Gurtai to be calm: "Never underestimate the enemy. Do you still remember the incident in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when scholar Lu Xun paid homage to the general?" Nurhachi.
"Remember." General Hou Jin liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much. These Baylor and his ministers read it dozens of times. As soon as the Khan reminded them, they quickly put away their contempt.
Fei Yingdong, the head of the five ministers, introduced: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty made millions of taels of silver in one go, and Yuan Yingtai planned to change Xiong Manzi's cunning strategy and send a large army to attack us."
"Where are the soldiers and horses? Are there any new soldiers and horses coming out of the border?" Daishan asked.
"Back at Big Belle, it's still the Jiubian and Nan armies mobilized by Xiong Manzi. It's just that this time they have left Shanhaiguan and have been assembled in place."
Everyone present had a good idea, and estimated that the Ming army's combat power would not be stronger than the Liao army at Fushun Pass, Jun Jun's Jizhen and Trilateral Army, and Liu Wei's Sichuan army.
Fei Yingdong and Er Yi both introduced the current famine in Liaodong: Jianzhou Jurchen and Mongolian tribes are currently suffering from famine, and a large number of refugees are pouring into Liaoyang and Shenyang. Xiong Tingbi is strict and refuses refugees to enter the areas controlled by the Ming army. Now that Yuan Yingtai has taken office,
Directly change the strategy, recruit refugees on a large scale, and expand the army by tens of thousands...
Huang Taiji, who had been silent all this time, nodded and smiled after hearing this.
The impatient Mang Gurtai saw this and asked: "Why is the fourth child laughing?"
"Yuan Yingtai recruited Mongolian refugees, but he didn't know that the grasslands have always respected the strong. Our army is strong but our army is weak. As long as the news of a defeat is spread, most Mongolian refugees are willing to be the vanguard of our army."
Huang Taiji is confident and his expression looks very confident.
Amin questioned: "I heard that Yuan Yingtai is very popular among the people. Sibeile should not think too simply."
As if he had long thought that someone would question this, Huang Taiji spoke eloquently:
"Yuan Yingtai is a well-known Confucian scholar. He sets an example of benevolence, justice and morality. For example, he treats generals leniently as long as they are not making serious mistakes, cares about the soldiers' food, clothing, housing and transportation, and absorbs Mongolian refugees to care for the poor. He has gained military morale and accumulated abundant logistics. These
This is something we need to be vigilant and careful about.
Faced with such an opponent, if this person stands still and fights steadily, our army will not be able to fight firstly, and secondly, it will not be able to draw the Liao people to our side. Therefore, we must gather our troops with thunderous momentum to defeat his army in one fell swoop, and let the neutrals see
We know how weak benevolence and righteousness are compared to the strength of our army."
Among the people present, Amin was not very optimistic about Huang Taiji's suggestion. Mang Gurtai basically didn't understand it, and the five ministers remained silent for the time being.
However, Nurhachi and Daishan had a glimmer of light in their eyes, and they heard the reason why they had to send troops from Huang Taiji's words.
Daishan said: "It has been almost a year since the last great victory. Now we are also experiencing famine in various places. If we don't go out to rob, we will be left with nothing."
Huang Taiji replied with a tacit understanding: "That's right. After Sarhu, more than 80,000 sets of armor were seized. All Baya La had heavy armor, and each dead soldier had two sets of heavy armor. There were even more weapons, including women and children.
Everyone has a handful, but the food supply has never been replenished since Tieling."
Fei Yingdong added: "Our army has sufficient armor and equipment. The main force of the Ming army has been lost to Fushun Pass and Sarhu. This time it is the last remaining main force. If we defeat them, no Ming army can stop us."
"That's right. Our army can't rest too much. If the rest time is long, we have to plow the land ourselves. Can we still fight when we plow the land!?"
Everyone knew that the Great Khan had made his position clear.
Mang Gurtai saw his father's attitude and rushed to say: "Now is the time for farmers in the Ming Dynasty to harvest. When they finish harvesting, it will be time for us to rob them, so that our elite soldiers do not have to cultivate by themselves!"
Among the five ministers, Anfei Yanggu, who was affiliated with the Xilan Banner, also said: "That's right! The peasants are weak and humble. If the grain is in their hands, they will eventually be exploited by those dog officials of the Ming Dynasty. We won't take it.
, I ended up feeding Ming Gou!"
"Wait a minute." Huang Taiji, who was mid-sentence, interrupted Mang Gurtai and An Feiyanggu who were gaining momentum.
"Since ancient times, the grasslands have been going south in late autumn to rob farmers of their food. We know that the Ming Dynasty also knew it. At present, Yuan Yingtai has just taken office, and Xiong Tingbi, a barbarian, still has the remaining power. I am afraid that he will still be ready this autumn."
He glanced at the crowd, whetted their appetites, and then said: "If Yuan Yingtai wants to take the initiative to attack, he can first show weakness to him and let them misjudge the situation, then destroy his army in one fell swoop and completely occupy Shenyang and Liaoyang."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Boarskin said three times in a row.
He stood up and raised his head with great pride and looked south. After pondering for a moment, he said: "In the battle of Fushun Pass, I lured the enemy deep and destroyed the elite Liao army in one fell swoop. The Sarhu Ming army was so powerful that I defeated him in four days."
After defeating his three armies, Du Song and Liu Wei captured him and captured as many as 100,000 armors and weapons.
The two methods of fighting are different, but they are both focused on defense. This time, the main force of the Ming army is coming again... Our army is no longer the same, and we already have the strength to actively attack the main force of the Ming army and defeat them all in one fell swoop!"
"Long live the Great Khan!" Everyone knelt down and worshiped.
"Adopt Si Beile's suggestion, show weakness to him this autumn, and launch a massive attack in the early spring of next year to defeat the Ming army and seize Liaoshen!"
"Long live the Great Khan! The Kingdom of Jin will be victorious!"
Hou Jin made a war plan at the end of September. He is currently showing weakness and will suddenly launch a fierce attack with his entire army in a few months.
…
Wang Hongyu clearly remembers that the bloody battle of Hunhe took place in March 1621, which was five months later.
The bloody battle of the Hun River was a sudden attack by the Hou Jin Dynasty, suppressing Fengji Fort, and storming the city of Shenyang. The Southern Army, the main force supporting Shenyang, had an encounter with the main force of the Eight Banners of the Hou Jin Dynasty by the Hun River.
Calculating the time, Houjin will attack at the end of February next year at the earliest. Now there are nearly 5 months, which can be made good use of.
Historically, during bloody battles, they carried insufficient gunpowder, and the Zhejiang soldiers ran out of gunpowder before being rushed in and destroyed by Jiannu.
Then you can reserve gunpowder in advance, and when the time comes, it will blow up Jiannu into darkness.
A plan gradually came into being in my mind, which was to collect intelligence, calculate the enemy's attack location, and reserve supplies in the nearby area in advance.
