Chapter 153 Re-entering the Customs, Fighting Lin Dan Khan First
Which place in the Ming Kingdom is the most empty? The Belles looked at the map with wide eyes, not knowing where Huang Taiji was pointing.
"here!"
Huang Taiji's finger suddenly moved to the top of the map, and he made a rough scratch at the border between the Ming Kingdom and the Mongolian tribes, showing a proud look, "Have you all forgotten the place Ben Khan took you to the year before last?
"
Duoyi suddenly realized, and praised: "Fourth brother is right, this is indeed the biggest weakness of the Ming Dynasty! The year before last, we broke through the wall and entered the pass, and encountered no obstacles at all. We have never faced such a tough battle like today.
In the last battle, wherever my Eight Banners went, the Ming troops in the pass fled in the face of the wind, and the prefecture and county officials opened the city to welcome the surrender. Since my father Khan raised his army, we, Dajin, have never fought such a smooth battle!"
"The Ming Dynasty called nine borders, but one town in Liaodong can stop us. Jizhou, Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Suizhen, Ningxia, and Guyuan are all empty frames, with few soldiers. As the old saying goes, persimmons are too soft to pick.
Since it is difficult to get off Jinning, we can enter the Pass again. I don’t believe that Chongzhen’s son can fix the border wall in just two years.” Daishan nodded and said, the Ming Dynasty’s population and wealth were captured by entering the Pass the year before last.
The number of them is really unimaginable. If it can enter the customs again and grab a handful, Daikin's national power will be even higher.[
Dorgon was also very excited and said: "Second brother is right, this is the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. The defense of the Ming Dynasty here is very weak. We went there the year before last and we are familiar with the road. If we go again, it will be easier than the last time.
It’s hard to say that we can attack the capital in one go, occupy the city of Beijing, and seize the Zhu family’s empire!”
"Avoiding the important point and taking advantage of the weak point is the only rule of a military strategist. It is difficult to attack the fortified city of Jinzhou today. If we attack it by force, even if we take it, our Eight Banners soldiers will suffer heavy casualties, and the gain will not be worth the loss. So I decided to avoid the important point and let's go and take the weak point.
Well, let's get ready and enter the customs again!" After saying that, Huang Taiji's face showed the pride of commanding the country, and his eyes had jumped from the city of Jinzhou to the distant south.
When they heard that they were going to enter the customs again, the Baylors and the Eight Banners generals were all yearning for it, and they all rubbed their hands in excitement. All the flags who entered the customs the year before last made a fortune, and those below had long thought about it.
I entered the customs once. If it weren't for Jinzhou being so difficult to get out of, next spring I could use Jinzhou and Ningyuan as a springboard to go straight to Shanhaiguan without having to go around thousands of miles and pass through the Mongols.
When everyone was excited, Ning Wanwo hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and said to Huang Taiji and the Belles with some worry: "King Khan, gentlemen Belles, I think that although this place is the weak spot of the Ming Kingdom, when we went there the year before last,
The various tribes in Mongolia can still cooperate. But now there is Lin Dan Khan in Mongolia. Although this man is not old, his ambition is not small. He dreams of repeating the glory of the Great Yuan and becoming the second Genghis Khan on the grassland. Therefore, he is full of hostility towards me, Great Jin.
, Horqin, and the Aohan tribes were often attacked by him. We also fought with him last year. Although he restrained himself a little, he still wanted to be the enemy of Dajin in his heart.
Moreover, Lin Danhan is very cunning. He knows that he cannot be the enemy of Dajin based on his own strength, so he colludes with the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the Ming Dynasty funded him a lot of weapons. If we want to enter the Great Wall again,
Can he let us get what we want? If he tries his best to stop him, although we can defeat him, the Ming Dynasty will definitely get wind of it and strengthen the defense force of the Great Wall. We are afraid that we will not be able to take it easily. By then, the divisions will be exhausted and the carriages will be exhausted.
I'm just afraid..." At this point, Ning Wan I didn't say anything more, but everyone heard what he meant and fell into thinking.
Huang Taiji waved his hand disapprovingly and said confidently: "Mongolia and our country wear the same clothes and believe in the same religion. They have the same roots and blood is thicker than water. Monan Horqin has been friendly with our country for many years, and some other tribes have also
Those who keep coming back. Lin Dan Khan relied on his own strength and insulted the tribes in the northern and southern parts of the country, causing anger and resentment. The Han people have a saying, there is a lot of help when there is a way, but there is little help when there is an unjust thing. As long as this Khan raises troops to attack him, the Mongolian tribes will definitely help me.
.So, Lin Dan Khan has nothing to worry about. This son is just a crazy thief with great ambitions and little talent. If I don’t touch him, that’s all. If I touch him, well, it will be more than enough to destroy his clan.”
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng hurriedly stepped forward and said without missing a chance: "King Khan, in November last year, the Great Bel Angkundu of Chahar was forced by Lin Dan Khan to return to our country. The next month, there was Turziir.
Deng is waiting for the return of several Baylors. Judging from the information they provided, Lin Dan Khan has already rebelled against his relatives, and few tribes have truly surrendered to him. Therefore, if I, Da Jin, can raise the banner of crusade at this time, I will bring justice to all the Mongolian tribes.
, will definitely gain sincere support from all ministries.
Then we will join forces with various Mongolian tribes to conquer Lin Dan Khan, unify all Mongolian tribes, collect hundreds of thousands of their cavalry and return them to Dajin, and expand the current Mongolian military flags into the Eight Mongolian Banners. Then we can counter-encircle the Ming Dynasty from the west and north.
At that time, we can rush in anywhere on this weak spot and chop down the big tree of Ming Dynasty with axe after axe until it is completely chopped down!"
"Yes, isn't this the strategy that King Khan has been talking about to defeat the Ming Dynasty!"
Daishan and other Baylor's eyes showed excitement, and Yue Tuo couldn't help but said: "King Khan, if you can really bring Mongolia under my command, in terms of territory and military strength, we will be on par with the Ming Dynasty, and we don't need to be afraid of him anymore.
Got it!"
After hearing Yue Tuo's words, Huang Taiji was quite disdainful, and laughed and said: "That's wrong, the Ming Dynasty relied on the strong city and the red cannon, which was more difficult to deal with. Once outside the city, it was even worse.
My big gold destroys it, like the wind and the remaining clouds, how can we be evenly matched?"
"Yes, ten are not even equal. My big gold beats him several times!" Yue Tuo knew that he had made a mistake and kept nodding in agreement.
"King Khan, when are we going to fight Lin Dan Khan?" Duoyi asked impatiently. He wished he could immediately send his troops to capture Lin Dan Khan, and then gather hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry to enter the pass again.
"Well..."
Huang Taiji smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself, winter is coming soon, and there is no way to send troops to fight Lin Danhan this year. Besides, each banner passes through the Xiaoling River and the Battle of Jinzhou will cause heavy losses. The top priority is to return first.
Shenyang, try to get some food from the Koreans to tide over the winter. If this happens, it will have to wait until next spring and summer at the earliest before sending troops to attack Lin Danhan.
Just as he was thinking about it, a guard came to report: "King Khan, the second beile of Laqin tribe in Mongolia wants to see you!"
Mongolian Laqin Tribe?
Everyone was startled, what was he doing?
This Laqin tribe's Erbeile sounds like an Erbeile. In fact, there are only more than a thousand of his tribe. When Daishan was bluffing in the old Liaohe River, he led his people to surrender. He wanted to make a fortune with the Jin army, but he didn't think about Xiaolinghe.
In the first battle, half of the clan members were lost, and the remaining clan members were old, young, and crippled, and even half of them could not survive. Therefore, he was not allowed to participate in this battle and stayed behind the formation to fly flags.
Full of momentum.[
Due to the poor performance of the Mongolian tribes in the Battle of Xiaolinghe, some even escaped, so Huang Taiji was really angry with the Mongols. Attacking Jinzhou was more important, so he did not deal with the escaped Baylor, but he did not want to do it again.
Seeing them. So when he heard that Erbeile of the Laqin tribe wanted to see him, his face immediately darkened, and he impatiently waved his hand to say no, but Daishan rushed to the guard and said: "Since Erbeile asked to see the Khan, I will
Bring him here." Then he said to Huang Taiji: "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall, let's listen to what he has to say."
Huang Taiji nodded slightly and said nothing.
Kalaqin Erbeile was also a fat man, but he was very short, only reaching Huang Taiji's shoulders. He looked very ridiculous. He was also dressed in shabby clothes. When he saw all the Belles from the Kingdom of Jin, he became nervous.
Fearfully, he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I have met His Majesty the Khan."
Huang Taiji accepted the gift from these two Belles calmly. If it were Horqin and other tribesmen, he would hug his waist to show his closeness. Seeing that these two Belles were not only fat but also short, he felt a little contemptuous and waved impatiently.
After waving his hand to signal him to stand up, he asked him: "Is there anything wrong with Er Beile coming to see Ben Khan?"
This was the first time that Erbeile heard Tian Conghan's voice. He had always seen him from a distance before, so he was a little excited. He raised his head with a blush on his face and opened his mouth wide to speak, but suddenly he seemed to be mute and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Huang Taiji became anxious, coughed slightly, forced a warm smile, and said harmoniously: "Er Beile has something to say, so there is no need to be so nervous."
"Hey, hey"
Erbeile said "Hey" twice, then moved forward slightly as if offering a treasure, and said with a flattering smile: "I bring good news to King Khan!"
