Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 473 The Unfathomable Conspiracy

"It's really deceiving! Ming Ren'an dares to insult me ​​like this! These damned Nikan! I swear to kill them all! Cough cough cough ~"

In a large-scale main tent of the Qing army camp on the front line of Songjin, Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the throne, had a flushed face on his slightly pale face, and suddenly coughed loudly while his chest rose and fell.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hands angrily, and the gorgeous letter in his hand was torn into pieces in an instant. Then he raised his arm, and the pieces flew up like countless butterflies, and then slowly fell on the ground covered with wool felt. superior.

"The emperor is angry! The Ming people are acting like this, they are clearly confident that they have the upper hand, and they want to completely wipe out our Qing Dynasty! How to deal with it now, the emperor needs to make a decision sooner!"

After Ning Wan, I saw that no one dared to step forward, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and offer words of comfort.

In the huge main account, there are only a few people such as Jierhalang, Ning Wanwo, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Li Shuitai, etc. Dorgon, Azige, and Yue Tuo were not invited to discuss the matter.

What Huang Taiji tore up just now was the surrender order issued by the Ming court to the so-called Qing Dynasty. The specific content was roughly what Zhu Youjian said to Yang Sichang. The queen was handed over to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting couldn't help laughing out loud after reading it. With insight into the situation, he immediately sent someone to hand over the form to Jinzhou City and hand it over to Zu Dashou. Prevent the Qing army from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

After Zu Dashou received the letter, his complexion became gloomy, and his whole body was sweating profusely.

He understands the intention of Sun Chuanting's move, and also understands that this person is far more ruthless and direct than Hong Chengchou.

The last time he asked Zu Zepu to take Li Suitai to Sun Chuanting's place, he pretended that the guards on duty had captured the enslaved enslaved messenger, and that he wanted to cover up the fact that Jinzhou was secretly communicating with Jianzhou. Seen through by Sun Chuanting, he was clearly warning him on behalf of the emperor.

After Zu Dashou sent someone to deliver the letter to the Qing army camp and handed it over to Li Shutai, he immediately sent his confidants and family members to inform all the generals in the city one by one: From today onwards, if there is any traffic builder, the whole family will be killed. cut.

He knew in his heart that this was the last chance given to him by the emperor, if he didn't know what to do, he would definitely end up dead without a burial.

"Prince Zheng, what do you think of this matter? At this critical juncture, how should I deal with it?"

Huang Taiji took a few deep breaths, and his mind instantly recovered. He looked at Ji Erhalang, who was standing at the head and lowered his head, and asked indifferently.

"Qizou the emperor, I think the only solution is to return to Shengjing for the time being. The Ming army is now overwhelming, and every castle is defended by strong troops. If we want to attack any of them, we will have to pay a considerable price. Rather than confronting the Ming army here, it is better to withdraw to the north, if the Ming army leader leads the army to follow in arrogance, it will just give our army a chance to break, and only in this way can the current situation be restored!"

After thinking about it for a while, Jierharan spoke out his plan.

Huang Taiji's face was serious, and he didn't express his opinion immediately to Jierhalang's words.

In fact, Jierhalang's strategy is barely plausible. Its purpose is to lure the Ming army to pursue it, and then look for opportunities to defeat the Ming army one by one, in order to make the Ming army hurt. After that, he didn't dare to take another step out of Songjin.

"The servant does not approve of Prince Zheng's strategy!"

Before Huang Taiji could ask Kong Youde and others for their opinions, Ning Wan and I stood up again.

"Oh? Do you have any suggestions from the father-in-law? Tell me quickly!"

Huang Taiji has always had great trust and goodwill towards this outspoken and outspoken Han courtier. Facts have proved that Ning Wan’s judgment and conclusions on many things seem to be different from his own, much higher than most of the high-level officials in the Eight Banners. figure.

"Reporting to the emperor, Prince Zheng's strategy is nothing more than trying to follow the example of the Taizu's Saarhu battle in the past, so that the Ming army's battle line will be stretched, and I will send troops to attack the food road, and finally make the Ming army panic because of the lack of food. The army took advantage of the situation and was defeated.

But as the old saying goes, the world has changed over time, and today is different from the past.

Since the main force of the Qing Dynasty went south, it has been defeated repeatedly, and the army has always fallen into the trap of Ming people. It can be seen that the commander of the Ming army is by no means as mediocre as Yang Gao was.

And the Ming army, no matter whether it is defending or confronting our army, its combat power is far superior to the more than [-] mobs in Sarhu. Even if our army finds an opportunity to attack its weakness, I am afraid it will be difficult to take advantage of it .

The slave feels that as long as our army returns to the north, the commander of the Ming army will lead his troops to chase after him. His purpose is to destroy Shengjing and make our Qing Dynasty lose its prestige and people's hearts.

The lessons from the past are not far away, the Ming army will never divide its troops and defeat our army individually, and under the cover of its heavy troops, how can our army have the opportunity to cut off its food supply?

In this way, our army was followed by more than ten thousand Ming troops and returned to the north. Shengjing is bound to fall into a crisis. Once the response is not appropriate, what should the Holy One do? !

The season is now in May, ten days after the harvest of summer grain, the rainy season will come, once a soldier in the army is infected with typhoid, if it spreads, what if our army lacks medical treatment and medicine? "

The Battle of Sarhu in the 44th year of Wanli became a watershed for the rise of Jianzhou. From then on, the offensive and defensive changes between Daming and Jianzhou also dragged Daming's finances into a big quagmire.

There are many reasons for the defeat of Sarhu, including Emperor Shenzong's repeated urging, which caused the Ming army to rush into battle, and the Ming army's various leaders were at a loss, but the most fundamental reason was that Yang Gao, the Liaodong economic strategist at that time, arranged troops. The big taboo of dividing troops when setting up the formation.

The 10,000+ army was divided into four groups by Yang Gao. They were silent with each other and fought on their own. As a result, Nurhachi led the main force to calmly defeat them one by one. Dozens of senior generals died, soldiers were wounded or killed, and the army collapsed. Or surrender, and from then on, Daming was completely at a disadvantage on the battlefield outside the pass.

Jierhalang's strategy of luring the enemy sounds good, but after Ning finished my analysis, it suddenly seemed pale and powerless.

From the battle situation in the past two months, it can be seen that the current Ming army coach is superior in intelligence and strategy, which is definitely not comparable to a fool like Yang Gao.

Everyone in the tent also nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Ning Wanwo's remarks.

"Gongfu's words are reasonable and well-founded, and they are indeed the theory of seeking the country. Although the Ming army currently has the upper hand, it is by no means in an unshakable advantage. The commander of the Ming army is not too complacent. Shengjing is related to the national prestige of the Qing Dynasty. , It is also where my Qing luck lies, so the Ming army must aim at Shengjing, no matter how our army responds, the Ming army will ignore it, under such circumstances, can Gongfu have a good strategy to deal with it?"

Huang Taiji leaned forward and looked at Ning Wanwo expectantly, hoping to hear from him a good way to deal with the Ming army.

"Reporting to the emperor, Ming people's move is really a conspiracy, and the servant did not think of a countermeasure!"

After Ning finished, I saluted and replied, there was no embarrassment on my face.

Huang Taiji sat back down with a disappointed look on his face, he neither asked nor blamed, a feeling of anxiety and despair began to spread in his heart.

Facing Daming's conspiracy, Huang Taiji, known for his resourcefulness and determination, also felt deeply powerless.

In terms of force, the Ming army has already gained the upper hand. The Eight Banners have exhausted all their tactics, but they have not taken advantage. Although he led two yellow flags to boost the morale of the entire army, he did not win a big victory. Next, where does morale come from?

And the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, including the coating, gathered pine brocade, and the daily consumption of food and supplies was astonishing. If this continues, even if the summer grain harvest is bumper and the food and grass are replenished, what can be done?
Now the entire Jianzhou has a population of nearly 200 million, most of whom are Han Chinese, and the Mongolian tribes who have defected to them. These people also need food to survive. While fleeing to other places, how to produce without population and labor?How to supply everything the army needs?
Is it true that God is going to kill me?

　Thanks to the people of Yanhuang, Governor Feng Ye, and the sister who squatted in the ditch for the reward.
