After Sony heard Huang Taiji talk about the national crisis, he sighed. He knew why his master was sighing, but he couldn't help it. He still hoped that his master would lead Dai Jin out of the current predicament.
When the atmosphere in the palace was depressing, Sony didn't want to stay any longer, so he said to Huang Taiji: "Master, is that slave going back to work?"
"Well, go and pass on my decree just now." Huang Taiji nodded in agreement.
But when Sony was about to retreat to the door of the palace, he was stopped by Huang Taiji again: "I estimate that when spring comes, the Ming army will attack. If you pass on my decree again, the relocation of each village must be accelerated.
The policy must be implemented within one month."
"Tie!" Sony agreed, and when Huang Taiji gave no further instructions, he withdrew.
Huang Taiji had just thought about so many things, and his physical condition made him mentally exhausted, so he leaned on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
But after a while, I heard rapid footsteps and rushed into the palace in the blink of an eye.
Huang Taiji was not in a good mood to begin with, and he didn't consider why the guards outside didn't stop him, so he opened his mouth and was about to get angry.
But when he opened his eyes at the same time, he found that this person was Sony who had just exited. With a worried look on his face, he walked a few steps closer to the bed, without caring about etiquette, and anxiously reported: "Master, Denglai
The Ming army...Denglai Ming army is attacking."
"What? How many people are there? Isn't it just because the brigade didn't collect them all night?" When Huang Taiji heard this, his body trembled, he sat up straight and looked at Sony and asked.
Sony shook his head. If the brigade had not been collected at night, he would not be so panicked. He hurriedly replied: "Master, Zhenjiang Fort and Phoenix City were captured by the Ming army overnight. It is said that there were ten Denglai Ming troops this time."
Thousands of people!"
Huang Taiji was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked loudly and urgently: "Where is the messenger? I want to ask him in person."
After a while, a travel-worn messenger from Jianlu, with a look of fear on his face, entered the palace and knelt down to salute.
Huang Taiji didn't wait for him to finish his salute, and asked hurriedly: "How come there are 100,000 Denglai Ming troops, but have they seen the flag of Ming Zhongxinghou?"
The messenger was stunned for a moment, and then replied a little at a loss: "Slave... I don't know... I don't know about the flag of Marquis Zhongxing."
Zhong Jinwei erased the practice of using generals' surnames as flags in the capital camp and replaced them with code names. This approach made the Jianlu not accustomed to it. They knew very little about the situation in the Ming Dynasty in this or two years, so they could not
Determine which flag represents the appearance of Zhong Jinwei.
Huang Taiji frowned. Thinking of this reason, he changed his words and asked, "How many people are there in the new army of the Ming Dynasty?"
If there were 100,000 Denglai Ming troops, they must have received reinforcements. Because the total of Denglai Ming troops alone would not exceed 40,000 to 50,000 people, and Huang Taiji knew this.
The reinforcements in the Den Laiming Army could only be the strange New Army. And because the uniforms of the New Army were very special, they were easy to identify.
The messenger thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "It doesn't seem like there are many, only about two thousand people."
When Huang Taiji heard this, the messenger's answer was as he expected. The Denglai Ming army only claimed to be one hundred thousand. If the Ming army wanted to invade on a large scale, they would not abandon the near and the far away. There was no need to use Haizhou as the base to attack and go around.
It is obviously not a wise move to start from Dandong on such a long journey.
Then Huang Taiji asked about the specific details of the battle. The Ming army began to attack in the evening and defeated the two cities in one night. The light was not very good at that time and the scene was very chaotic. Therefore, the messenger could not tell the details.
I can give a rough idea.
After the messenger answered Huang Taiji's question, he reminded him: "Great Khan, the forward attack speed of the Ming army is very fast, and they are coming directly to Shengjing."
Huang Taiji ignored him and waved his hand to ask him to leave. Then he leaned on the bed again and closed his eyes to think.
Judging from the posture of the Denglai Ming Army, they are fighting with all their strength. And since the main force of the new Ming army did not appear in the Denglai Ming Army, they will definitely launch an offensive in Haizhou.
Thinking of this, he suddenly opened his eyes and said to Sony who was standing beside him: "I dare to conclude that the main force of the Ming army is along the Haizhou route. Immediately send a messenger to ask Duduo of Liaoyang to be careful of Anshan Posthouse. Don't worry about casualties.
Send out detective horses to the Haizhou area to verify the movements of the Ming army."
"Zha." Sony agreed and prepared to deliver the order.
"Wait a minute." Huang Taiji stopped Sony and then ordered: "The Ming army is a firearms force and must rely heavily on logistics. All roads must be destroyed as soon as possible. To make the Ming army march at a snail's pace, kill them on the road.
supplies are consumed.”
"tie."
Huang Taiji frowned and said to Sony again: "Preach my will to those people again. Dajin is at a critical moment of life and death. Everyone must put aside their personal grudges and work together to overcome the difficulties. An hour later, there will be a meeting at Chongzheng Hall.
No excuses, you must be there on time.”
After hearing this, Sony admired Huang Taiji in his heart. Unlike several other Heshuo Baylors, he always considered things based on Daikin's interests.
Therefore, after Huang Taiji finished speaking, he responded loudly: "Zha."
Huang Taiji thought about the situation of the Ming Army again, and there should be another way, that is, the Guan Ning Army. However, he estimated that the Guan Ning Army merged with the Haizhou Ming Army, passing through Anshan Post, to Liaoyang, and then to Shenyang.
line of attack.
This is also in line with his judgment that the main force of the Ming army will attack Daikin from Haizhou, so he no longer cares about Guan Ning's army.
The reason why Huang Taiji made this judgment was that he did not expect that Zhong Jinwei had a huge appetite and was ready to annihilate the main force of Jianlu in Shenyang.
What Huang Taiji didn't expect was that he originally thought that there were castles stationed by troops along the way, and the road would be destroyed. It would take many days for the Ming army to attack all the way. But in fact, the Ming army's attack speed far exceeded him.
The bad situation of Jianlu has taken a turn for the worse.
Just when Sony was busy conveying Huang Taiji's will, Duduo rushed back with his army. At this time, he had already seen Shenyang City.
Tan Ma, who was sent back first, had already contacted Dorgon's people and knew that the east gate was controlled by Dorgon. Therefore, Duduo took people directly to the east gate to meet up with Dorgon, without even thinking about going to the east gate.
Sweat report.
But more than 10,000 troops returned from the front line and entered Shenyang City through the east gate. This matter could not be hidden from Huang Taiji's people anyway, and soon Huang Taiji knew about it.
The situation in Shenyang City, which was originally a bit delicate, began to accelerate and develop into a situation that no one expected.
And the Ming army that Huang Taiji ignored was not far from Shenyang.
