Chapter 1174 The Manchus attack Youzhou

Chapter 1172: Manchu Qing attacks Youzhou

 The Qing Dynasty, which was established after integrating Wuhuan and Dongxianbei, currently owns the three states of Liao, Jin, and Manchu. The capital of the country, Shengjing, is located in Liaozhou, the southernmost state closest to Youzhou.

 The Qing Dynasty developed in a trapezoidal shape as a whole. The further north it was, the sparser the population and the poorer it became, while the further south it was and closer to the Han Dynasty, the population was denser and richer.

Although Shengjing City is also located in the wilderness of Northeast China, it is relatively close to Youzhou and has the most business contacts with the Han people. Its population density is no less than that of the Central Plains.

Nearly half of the fruits plundered by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in recent years were used to build the city of Shengjing. This also allowed Shengjing to develop rapidly, and it naturally became the largest and most prosperous city in the Qing Dynasty. ,none of them.

 It can be seen from this that Nurhachi coveted Youzhou and spared no effort to develop Shengjing City just to facilitate the attack on the Han people in the south.

After Nurhachi recruited Wanyan Aguda back from the front line, he immediately held a military and political meeting, and the discussion topics only had two points: attack Yuan? Or beat Han?

Although the Yuanmeng and the Manchus joined forces to destroy Xianbei, the Yuanmeng captured more people and wealth, so the foundation after the founding of the country became stronger.

  Yuan and Meng had a population and foundation greater than that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Both countries imitated the systems and technologies of the Han people. After vigorous development, the strength of both sides improved extremely rapidly.

Today, the total military strength possessed by Yuan and Meng is roughly around 600,000, while that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is roughly around 500,000.

Although Yuanmeng was strong, it was not much stronger than the Manchus. It was precisely because the two sides were equally powerful that no one was sure of swallowing the other in one fell swoop, and if they started a war rashly, the Han would only gain advantage, so the grassland could be maintained for so long. Peace.

Now Yuan and Meng's 300,000 troops have invaded Hetao. Once they completely occupy the granary of Hetao, Yuan and Meng's strength will definitely increase greatly, and the balance between the two sides will be broken.

Nurhaci naturally doesn’t want to see this, so there are only two ways in front of him:

 1. Attack Yuanmeng with all strength to prevent Yuanmeng from occupying Hetao;

  Second, go south and annex Youzhou to strengthen yourself so as to maintain the balance of power between the two sides.

“Your Majesty, Duduo believes that Yuanmeng should be attacked.”

Duduo stood up, his face full of confidence, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanmeng mobilized more than 300,000 troops to attack Hetao. Now that the domestic troops are empty, it is a great opportunity to defeat Yuanmeng in one fell swoop. We, the Qing Dynasty, can save millions Can’t miss it.”

　　"Yuanmeng's domestic troops are empty? I can't see it."

Dorgon's eyes flashed, he walked out with a faint smile, and said in a deep voice: "The Temujin attack only used 270,000 troops this time. Even if they invaded the Hetao, they did not continue to increase their troops. It is obvious that Temujin Just to guard against my Qing Dynasty.

If Yuan and Meng were unprepared, they might be able to win by attacking Yuan at this time, but Temujin has always been on guard against our Qing Dynasty, so even if he attacks Yuan and Meng with all his strength, it will be difficult to win for a while. It is better to concentrate on taking more Youzhou first.

Although Youzhou's grain production is far less than that of Hetao, its population is much larger than that of Hetao. Once Youzhou is occupied, the total population of our Qing Dynasty will surpass Yuan Meng. Once it is completely digested, the overall strength of our Qing Dynasty will be Naturally, he can be superior to Yuan Meng. "

　　Seeing that Dorgon not only refuted him, but also said it with reasonable evidence, Duduo immediately mocked with dissatisfaction: "Dorgon, you said this as if you can definitely capture Youzhou as long as you send troops.

You should know that the total strength of the Han army in Youzhou is greater than that of the Jin army.

The Yuanmeng army dispatched nearly 300,000 troops to deal with the 200,000 Jin army. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to completely occupy Youzhou, I am afraid that it would have to mobilize all the troops from the whole country. If the Yuanmeng army left behind invaded, So what? "

Dodor’s question is very sharp, but it obviously cannot trouble Dorgon.

“Duduo, you said it yourself. To completely occupy Youzhou, we need to mobilize the entire country’s troops. But to deal with the more than 300,000 troops left behind by Yuan and Meng, don’t we need to mobilize the entire country’s troops?”

A hint of cunning flashed in Dorgon's eyes, and he asked: "What's more, if the Qing Dynasty attacks Yuan and Meng with all its strength, what will happen if the Han princes in the south invade?"

"this…"

Duduo was immediately speechless. After all, it was not the Han court that controlled Youzhou now, but the two princes Gongsun Zan and Liu Che.

The Han Dynasty has always been weak and incompetent in front of the foreigners in the north, and the attitude of the major princes in Youzhou towards the foreigners is much tougher than that of the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, the northern princes not only resisted Xianbei's invasion, but also captured and killed Xianbei Shanyu Helian.

This was originally a hearty victory, but the Han court not only knelt down to sue for peace, but also wanted to hand over Han Xin, who had killed Helian, to Xianbei.

In order to protect Han Xin, Liu Yu indirectly triggered a rebellion to depose the emperor, and even Liu Hong was almost ousted from the throne.

Since then, the prestige of the Han Dynasty court has been completely ruined, and in order to protect himself, Liu Yu stopped obeying the court's orders, and Youzhou completely entered the era of warlord separatism.

Without the constraints of the imperial court, the princes of Youzhou have repeatedly succeeded in dealing with the foreign tribes. The foreign tribes in the north were frightened by the attacks, and they no longer dared to have the slightest contempt for the princes of Youzhou.

"Dorgon, according to what you said, wouldn't it be difficult to succeed in attacking the Yuan Dynasty or the Han Dynasty?" Duo Cui asked in anger.

“No, the chance of winning against the Han Dynasty is greater than that against the Yuan Dynasty, and it is much greater.”

Dorgon said in a leisurely manner as if he had a pearl of wisdom in hand: "There is only one Jin army in Hetao, so naturally they are focused outward to resist foreign invasion, but there are three forces in Youzhou: Gongsun Du, Gongsun Zan and Liu Che.

 The Han people have complicated minds and are extremely disunited. Even if they can unite, they will definitely have troubles. As long as I can sort them out, I can defeat them one by one.

Moreover, our Qing Dynasty has also deployed many back-ups in Youzhou. With a two-pronged approach, we will definitely be able to occupy Youzhou in the shortest time. "

"this…"

 Dodo was completely speechless.

When Nurhaci on the throne saw this, his eyes were full of admiration. Dorgon's words coincided with what he was thinking.

 “You don’t need to say more, I have already made a decision in my heart.”

Nurhachi stood up from his throne and said in a deep voice: "Order Wanyan Aguda as the main general and Dorgon as the deputy general. We will raise an army of 200,000 to attack Youzhou. We will not stop our troops until Youzhou is completely occupied."

 “Your Majesty is wise.” All the ministers shouted in unison.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Wanyan Aguda's eyes. Although Nurhaci appointed him as the general, he also sent a son to monitor him. He really didn't give him the slightest chance and guarded him completely.

After the meeting, Nurhaci summoned Dorgon and warned him: "Dorgon, for my Aixinjueluo family, Aguda is a double-edged sword. It can hurt people easily, but it can hurt people if it is not used well." It hurts oneself.”

A trace of surprise flashed in Dorgon's eyes, but then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Emperor Ama, I will not give A Gu a chance."

 “Well, it’s up to you to decide what’s important.”

Nurhachi nodded and said calmly: "If Aguda cannot be suppressed, we can use the help of Han people to get rid of him if necessary."

 “My son, please remember the words of Emperor Ama.”

In this way, the Qing Dynasty's 500,000-strong army was divided into three. One hundred thousand were led by Huang Taiji to conquer the three Korean countries, two hundred thousand were led by Wanyan Aguda and Dorgon to attack Youzhou, and the remaining two hundred thousand stayed at the base camp. Beware of Yuanmeng.

  A new round of summons is about to begin.
