There are also Azig and Abatai, they are all Prince Baylor of the Qing Dynasty who can take charge of their own affairs, and they were all suitable candidates originally...
Thinking of this, Dorgon couldn't help but sigh.
Ji'erhalang is definitely possible, but he has to defend Haizhou, a more important place, and cannot go to the grassland;
As for Hauge, his status is definitely sufficient, but this person is a bit barbaric and not suitable for being alone. The most important thing is that Hauge has always been worried about the throne. If he is sent to the grassland, he might cause some trouble.
, not safe!
Thinking of this, Dorgon remembered that Hauge pretended to be possessed by the Great Sage Emperor, and he immediately eliminated Hauge as a candidate in his mind!
After much deliberation, Dorgon finally looked at a young man standing underneath. He was the grandson of Taizu Aixinjueluo Nurhachi and the third son of Guanglue Beile Aisinjuero Chu Ying. Now he is Doro Beile.
Aixinjueluo Nikan.
Nikan is now thirty-seven years old, and among the young generation of the Qing Dynasty, he is considered to have the most outstanding ability. If he is not good enough compared with his predecessors, he is definitely more than capable.
With no other available candidates, Dorgon finally chose Nikan to go to the grassland, and temporarily made Nikan the king of Doluo County, second only to Prince Heshuo. In this way, Nikan faced all the people in the grassland.
When it comes to tribes, status is enough.
If he can make a difference on the grassland this time and achieve his set goals, even if he can be crowned Prince Heshuo, it won't be out of the question!
In the end, Dorgon sent Nikan to lead 10,000 cavalry as his direct cavalry to go to the grasslands to coordinate the various tribes, integrate the pastures and elite troops of each tribe, and fight against the Ming army's invasion.
In this regard, Nikan led an army alone for the first time and was full of confidence. He even boasted about Haikou. If he could not complete the task assigned by the regent, he returned to Shengjing.
Little did he know that the man who was commanding the cavalry on the grassland to train troops from the eastern Mongolian tribes was Li Dingguo who, in the original history, stepped on his body and was famous for generations to come.
After discussing the matter on the grassland, according to Hong Chengchou's suggestion, it is best to attack the Ming Dynasty on the Ningjin front line, so as to disrupt the Ming army's offensive rhythm and change from passive to active.
However, this is another headache for Dorgon.
It is not easy to attack the Ming army on the front line of Ningjin and hurt them so as to disrupt the Ming army's offensive rhythm!
Although it is said that the Qing Dynasty is now opening up wasteland and farming in the north, it is true that it is barely enough in terms of food and grass, and it can also bear the consumption of a war. However, the most critical issue is that today's Ming army is well-equipped and not well-fed.
The Guan Ning Army back then was nothing short of remarkable.
According to Dorgon's prediction, he actually always thought that with the strength of the Ming army on the Guanning front line, they might attack Haizhou and then covet Liaoyang and other places. However, what he didn't expect was that the Ming army on the Guanning front line had been standing still, and only
When Wu Sangui's troops were fighting the Japanese army in Korea, they only had the opportunity to contain the Qing Dynasty for a while.
The lack of news within the customs made Dorgon very uncomfortable, and he didn't know what the Ming Dynasty's plan was.
However, one thing is certain, the Ming army on the front line of Ningjin is really strong, and generals such as Zhou Yuji, Liu Wenxiu, and Yan Yingyuan are all very capable of fighting.
Dorgon was a little worried. If he attacked the Ming army in Ningjin with only the strength of the Qing Dynasty, he would not have enough advantages and might lose both sides. This was definitely not what he wanted to see.
Perhaps, we just hope that the Japanese country will send more troops?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the chief minister of Japan, Yagyu Jubei, had arrived outside Shengjing City.
This Yagyu Jubei came once before during a martial arts competition. He was a bit arrogant. After being taught a lesson by the Qing Dynasty, he got a little better. But as far as Dorgon was concerned, the impression was not very good.
But at this time, when he heard that Yagyu Jubei was coming, he was immediately overjoyed. Without saying a word, he immediately led Prince Beile of the Qing Dynasty to greet him in a high-profile manner.
He never expected that Yagyu Jubei would also come to discuss sending troops to attack the Ming army.
At this time, the tortoise and the mung bean are eye-catching.
Dorgon was overjoyed to hear that the Japanese country could dispatch at least 300,000 troops.
On the Qing Dynasty's side, they were fully prepared and only had a total of about 100,000 troops. This is good, at least in terms of military strength, it is enough.
However, one problem is that they cannot provide the food and fodder for the 300,000 Japanese troops themselves, and they still need to be provided by the Qing Dynasty.
This put Dorgon in a bit of a dilemma, because he didn't have that much food and supplies at all.
It was Hong Chengchou who saw Dorgon's dilemma and advised him: "Master, now that the Japanese army can reach as many as 300,000, it is better to change the previous strategy and unite all the grassland tribes. We have a total of
We can gather an army of four to five million to launch a general attack on the Ming army and win a great victory with the superiority in military strength!"
Hearing this, Dorgon's heart moved. He had never had so many troops in his hands. It was indeed a pity not to put them to good use. So, he quickly asked: "How to fight?"
Yagyu Jubei knew that Hong Chengchou was Zhuge Kongming in the Qing Dynasty and had many evil ideas, so he also looked at Hong Chengchou and listened to what he said.
Just listen to Hong Chengchou's answer to Dorgon: "I think that the Ming army must not have expected that nearly 300,000 Japanese troops will participate in the battle. Therefore, the reinforcements of our two countries can first be mainly our Qing troops, and then surround Jinzhou."
, forcing the Ming army to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan to rescue the Ming army, and then the ambushing Japanese army intercepted its retreat and completely wiped out the Ming army rescuing Jinzhou, so as to hurt the Ming army."
Having said this, after a pause, he added: "In this battle, the priority is to attack the city, and the priority is to besiege the city and provide reinforcements."
This tactic was actually the usual tactic used by the Jianlu captives against the Ming Dynasty. This was true whether it was the previous siege of Jinzhou during the Huang Taiji era, which ultimately led to Zu Dashou's second surrender, or the later Battle of Songjin.
In other words, it is the field battle that ultimately determines the outcome of the war.
Remembering that there were still things he had not answered, Hong Chengchou continued: "After moving the Mongolian tribes to the east, let them contribute some cattle and sheep to supplement the supplies of the Liaodong army, and if possible, let the allied forces of the Mongolian tribes
Take the initiative to attack Guihua City; if you can capture the best, you can also attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty if you cannot capture it, which will help win the Jinzhou War!"
After saying this, he stopped talking and just looked at Dorgon, waiting for him to make a decision.
Dorgon listened, thought carefully, and finally showed a smile on his face, nodded in agreement: "Yes, if you use this strategy to surprise the Ming army and hit the Ming army hard, the winning rate is still very high!"
After commenting for a while, he looked at Yagyu Jubei and asked for his opinion: "How is the Japanese side? Gu estimates that the number of reinforcements attracted by the Ming Kingdom will be between 20,000 and 50,000."
When he heard about this small number of troops, Yagyu Jubei immediately showed his confidence, patted his chest and said: "Three hundred thousand versus fifty thousand, I have the advantage, I can win no matter what the fight is!"
After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and expressed his concerns: "It's just that I'm afraid that the Ming army will learn the news in advance about the mobilization of 300,000 troops; in addition, the terrain of the Japanese country over Jinzhou is unfamiliar, so it's also
A question."
This is indeed a problem. The mobilization of 300,000 troops is definitely not comparable to the mobilization of small-scale troops.
And the most important point of the planned battle was to besiege the city and call for reinforcements. The key to the siege and reinforcements was that the Ming army did not know that there was a huge Japanese army waiting for them.
Otherwise, if the Ming army knew that there were 300,000 troops ambushing them, they would definitely not dare to rescue Jinzhou.
After thinking for a while, Dorgon said to Yagyu Jubei: "In this way, you can find an excuse to gather troops to the north of North Korea. Then, we will strengthen the patrol of the coastline and try to cut off the contact with the Ming army at sea. As long as we
Once you have done this, move faster; even if the Dongjiang Army discovers something later, by the time they pass the news back to the Ming Dynasty and then to the Ningjin front line, I believe it will be too late!"
At this point, after a pause, he added: "How about sending another five thousand cavalry troops to North Korea to help you patrol the coastline and blockade the northern coast of North Korea?"
After hearing this, Yagyu Jubei nodded and said, "Okay!"
The purpose of his coming to Shengjing was to unite with the Qing Dynasty to fight a big war, which would hurt the Ming Kingdom and make the Ming Kingdom dare not send troops to the Japanese mainland!
Now when we meet the Qing Dynasty, they happen to have the same purpose, to hurt the Ming Dynasty. The intentions of both sides coincide, and there is a lot less selfishness, so as to achieve the greatest sincere cooperation between Chengdu!
Yagyu Jubei was still satisfied with this.
As a result, the two sides began to work out the details of the war against Ningjin in the next autumn. Under the advice of Hong Chengchou, they had been discussing for nearly two days, and after taking into account all the details, they finally came up with a plan.
result.
Whether it is for the Qing Dynasty or the Japanese country, they must ensure that the next war against the Ming Dynasty is not only a victory, but also a great victory. Only in this way can their next road be broadened.
!
Finally, when Dorgon personally sent Yagyu Jubei out of the city, he held his hand and said sincerely: "I have issued a strict decree. The coalition forces of Tsarist Russia and Wasi must attack the western part of the Ming Dynasty before the autumn offensive."
, to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty. On the eastern front, our two families have spent so much effort and invested so much troops and materials to ensure the progress of this war. This battle will be won!"
Yagyu Jubei was not used to being shaken by men, but at this time, in order to show the closeness between the two families, he also held Dorgon's hand, nodded in agreement: "Yes, this battle will be won!"
