My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 111: Attack by force or divide the troops?
And just when Luo Sigong left Liaoyang to arrest people, Xiong Tingbi also started to move in Shenyang.

Today, the main fortresses in Liaodong are guarded by guest soldiers from all over the country, while the local troops in Liaodong are concentrated in Liaoyang City, under his personal command.

After gathering all the generals to the commander's residence, Xiong Tingbi began to take action.

First, directly let He Shixian lead the Yulin guest soldiers to surrender the weapons of Zhao Kailai's personal soldiers.

Then, he handed the list from Liaoyang to Wang Kai, a member of Qianhu of Jinyiwei, and sent guest soldiers to follow Jinyiwei to ransack their homes.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart.

Xiong Tingbi was sitting in the lobby, with two royal guards standing behind him, holding the royal order flag given by the emperor.

Looking at Zhao Kailai, who was kneeling on the ground and sweating profusely, Xiong Tingbi knew that it was definitely true that this guy was having an affair with a slave.

"Everyone present is a martial artist. Mr. Xiong will not play around with you."

Sitting in front of the commander's desk, Xiong Tingbi looked at the generals below.

"You all know who I am. You have followed me in several bloody battles with Jiannu in Liaodong, and your loyalty to our Ming Dynasty has been verified."

"Here today, I will tell you again, if anyone dares to collude with Jiannu for yellow and white things, don't blame me for being cruel."

"I will obey the order of the emperor."

After hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, everyone in the lobby quickly raised their hands.

As Liaoyang and Shenyang began to crack down on traitors, the city was in turmoil, and [-]% of the foreigners mixed in the city were arrested.

As spies were caught on a large scale, Huang Taiji also sensed something was wrong.

It was supposed to be the day to transport food, but Li Yongfang and his people failed to receive the food at Songshukou.

Snakes have their own paths, rats have their own paths. As a local fox in Liaodong, Li Yongfang easily figured out what happened in Liaoyang and Shenyang.

In Sarhu, inside the sweat tent, Nurhachi looked at Li Yongfang with an angry face.

"Li E's son-in-law, didn't you say that Xiong Tingbi was afraid of shaking the morale of the Liaodong army and being impeached by the civil servants of the DPRK, so he did not dare to take action on a large scale against the wealthy families and military households in Liaodong? Why are the people we have attracted in Liaoyang and Shenyang cities now being arrested?"

"Great Khan Rongzhen, this arrest is made by the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty."

Standing up from his position, Li Yongfang knelt on one knee and walked towards Nurha Equator.

Before Li Yongfang finished speaking, Huang Taiji stood up and explained for Li Yongfang.

"Amma, you can't blame Li Erfu for this matter. The Jin Yiwei is the dog of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He specializes in investigating major and important cases and reports directly to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The most famous thing about these people is that their noses are as sharp as dogs. Nose. No one in Ming Dynasty is not afraid of them."

"Moreover, I also heard that the Ming Emperor did not remove Xiong Tingbi due to the impeachment of civil servants some time ago. Instead, he trusted him more and allocated a lot of money and food to Liaodong."

"Now, the Ming Dynasty has changed its policy in Liaodong. Many people who originally yearned for our country are now also swaying and are cutting off from our country."

"boom!"

Hearing this, Nurhachi slapped his hand heavily on the table in front of him.

This news means that he will attack Liaoshen next year.

It is nonsense to say that Jurchens are less than ten thousand and invincible.

He used the method used by the Wanyan family back then to form the Eight Banners, pulling out the uncivilized Jurchens from the valleys and forming an army.

These people are the kind of fools who are single-minded. They just follow the orders of the boss and rush forward as they are told.

The reason is the same as Qi Jiajun recruiting honest miners.

Nowadays, Xiong Tingbi runs the two big cities of Liaoning and Shenyang like iron barrels. He also renovates the moats and concentrates firearms. Whether it is a field battle or a siege, the Eight Banners will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Xiong Tingbi to resign, and take advantage of the Liao army's morale to fluctuate. There were spies inside to cause chaos, and there were large armies outside to besiege the city and encircle the points for reinforcements, recreating the Saarhu incident that year.

But under the current situation, if the Jurchens who take the lead are eliminated, he will no longer have control over the Jurchens.

At that time, there is no need for Daming to continue beating them, and the people below will use his head to ask Daming for a reward.

"This new little emperor is much better than his good-for-nothing old man and idiot grandpa. He actually knows how to send the royal guards to Liaodong to suppress the traitors." Panting like an ox, Nurhachi looked at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice.

"Now, that Xiong Manzi has not been removed from his post, and he still has the food and fodder supported by the little emperor. I am afraid that next year he will be unable to hold on and lead a large group of people to confront us."

Now, he moved his camp to Saarhu and vowed to break Liaoshen.

But Ming Dynasty's current response strategy has made Nurhachi a powerful man.

"Prince Li, what do you think we should do next?"

Hearing this, Li Yongfang trembled.

He knew how cruel Nurhaci was.

"Back to the Great Khan, the Lu, Wang, and Zhao families have been arrested, but there are other small families in the city. I will contact them immediately."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Nurhachi fell into deep thought and then asked.

"is that useful?"

"I heard that there are now more than a thousand people arrested in Liao and Shen cities. Those small families may not dare to have contact with us anymore."

"This."

Hearing this, Li Yongfang shed cold sweat on his head and lay on the ground without daring to move.

"Get up."

Looking at Li Yongfang who was kowtowing on the ground, Nurhachi was silent for a while and then waved his hand to let him get up.

Li Yongfang was the first general of the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to surrender. He knew clearly that Li Yongfang could not go back, so Li Yongfang was his sign to win over Liaodong Han'er.

"Amma, I think we can divide our forces to attack Kuoyang Fort."

At this time, Huang Taiji spoke.

"Now, Xiong Tingbi is building a wall and a fortress in Liaochen, and he cannot hold out. If we attack by force, we, Daijin, may suffer heavy losses. However, we can use our main force to contain Xiong Tingbi in Liaochen, and then divide our forces to attack Yuanyang Fort."

"My ministers found out that the garrison of Kuoyang Fort is a captain named Mao Wenlong. He is not taken seriously by Xiong Tingbi, and he only has [-] defenders under his command."

"Our armies are facing each other in Liaoshen. If we divide our forces and make a sudden attack, we will surely capture Kuoyang Fort."

"After taking over Kuoyang Fort, we won't be afraid that they will split up their forces to attack Kuandian again. The bannermen there will be able to farm with peace of mind and provide me, Daijin, with more food and grass next year."

"Furthermore, although King Gwanghae of North Korea is now on good terms with our country and has agreed not to help each other, if the Ming Dynasty sends troops from the sea, North Korea will definitely favor the Ming Dynasty."

"At that time, if Xiong Tingbi sends troops to sneak attack the rear from North Korea, I am afraid that we will not be able to care about each other."

"Well, that makes sense."

Looking at the map in front of him and listening to Huang Taiji's proposed troop division strategy, Nurhaci couldn't help but nodded.

"and."

At this time, Huang Taiji continued to speak.

"If we cannot capture Liaoshen, we can still turn around and attack North Korea."

As the true founder of Qingqing and the hero who pulled the Jurchens out of Nurha Chihu, Huang Taiji's strategic vision is very vicious.

He had many interactions with literati of the Ming Dynasty and was the one who knew the Ming Dynasty court best among the people present.

"The Ming Dynasty prides itself on being the supreme kingdom of heaven and has always been proud. When the Japanese invaded Korea, it was because they invaded their vassal country that the Ming Dynasty spent money and food to stand up for the Koreans. If we rob their vassal country, the Ming Dynasty will definitely lose its majesty. .Forcing Xiong Tingbi to send troops to fight with us."

"If he didn't send troops, the civil officials in the Ming Dynasty would definitely impeach him. By then, they might not be able to get Xiong Tingbi down."
