Chapter 426: Laozhai Discusses Politics

"Alas!"

Huang Taiji frowned, since returning from defeat, the situation on the surface has not changed much, but there is an undercurrent, and many people with ulterior motives are planning something.

Speaking of the battle of Liaodong, at first, they Dajin wanted to destroy Fuyuwei and expand their advantages, but they didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would also come out of the country and fight a big battle unexpectedly.

For Hou Jin, he didn't expect it to be such a tough battle, and his preparation was insufficient.

For Daming, it is even more sudden to gather a large army out of the customs, it is said that the coaches are all transferred back from the southwest, so it can be seen that there is no advance plan for this matter on Daming's side.

Coincidentally, this battle, which was supposed to end in a month or two, was fought in the second year of the Apocalypse.

At that time, Liaodong was east to the Liaoyang front, north to Fuyu Sanwei, south to Shanhai Xiongguan, and there was no place where there was no war.

The Jin army besieged, the Ming army counterattacked, large and small battles came and went, neither side had any intention of retreating, no one expected in advance that this battle would be protracted, and it was fought for nearly a year!

For this battle, the Ming Dynasty only rewarded millions of silver taels, not to mention the transfer of soldiers and horses, as well as the military expenses required for logistics baggage, which is even more astronomical!

Huang Taiji also heard it later, if he had known that Da Ming had such a determination, he would never have supported Nurhachi to send troops again.

Although it was a twist and turn, it was not easy for them to do so!

By the time Zhu Xieyuan led the reinforcements from the Seven Towns out of the pass, Houjin had actually been difficult to ride a tiger, and they couldn't easily retreat, so they had no choice but to win.

But at that time, it was no longer just about the two sides fighting wits and courage on the front line, but more about competing for the background, which was precisely Houjin's weakness.

Huang Taiji had just received a flying report from Yahu Pass, saying that Ming Jingluo Xiong Tingbi led tens of thousands of troops out of the city, won several battles in a row, and had recovered Qinghe Fort, and the Shenyang general army Man Gui also went south to cooperate.

The counterattack of the Liaoshen Ming army? In Huang Taiji's expectation? But now he could do little but stare dryly.

Qinghe Fort this place? Was it fought by the Jin Army after last year? The two realms are facing the river, and it is also the only way to go out and triumph? Location is very important.

Qinghe Fort was recaptured by the Ming army, which is of great significance.

"Send someone to report this to Father Khan! Something significant? No delays! ”

"Huh!"

Should a yellow-armored Jurchen soldier snort? Turn around and go.

When the Jurchen soldiers left, Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji and said worriedly: "Sweating and sores have recurred, send news back at this time?" I'm afraid it's going to ......."

Huang Taiji naturally understood what he meant by this? Leng Leng said:

"How could I not know that my father Khan would be furious when he heard it, but what can I do now, Xiong Tingbi's soldiers are pressing over, intending to recapture Liaodong, we can't wait to be killed!"

Fan Wencheng saw the cold in Huang Taiji's eyes? opened his mouth and decided not to continue.

Three days later? When the news reached Nurhachi's hot spring town, the latter was really furious when he heard it? Led his relatives to shoot the horse and rushed back.

On this day, Nurhachi was wearing armor? Striding into the Khan's court? Bellowed:

"Turg? Drumming on all sides, so that the Baylor ministers quickly went to the palace to discuss the matter! This Xiong Tingbi, who continues to use soldiers, deceives me too much! ”

Seeing that Nurhachi's face was solemn and knew that there was an important matter to discuss, Turg immediately stepped forward in person and vigorously beat the drum in front of the Khan's court.

After a while, Baylor's ministers rushed to arrive.

Huang Taiji was standing beside Nurhachi's throne, and when he saw that all the people had arrived, he took his hand and said:

"In the past three years, the little emperor succeeded to the throne, killed Wang Huazhen, and appointed Xiong Tingbi, and the situation in Liaodong has been much worse than before. After losing the last battle, our army suffered heavy losses and could no longer maintain the current situation in Liaodong. ”

"I called you here this time to discuss whether to completely withdraw from Liaodong!"

Hearing this, the Houjinbeiler ministers present had a lot of discussions, and they had never imagined that there would be a time to discuss such a thing in the Khan's court.

Nurhachi coughed twice, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly:

"Ben Khan has repeatedly tried to break Liao Shen, but has not succeeded, and this time he tried to destroy Zaisai and break through the border wall, but he still failed!"

In Nurhachi's voice, there was a bit of unfulfilled ambition and the worry of the old man.

"In the past two or three years, my Daikin has lost many battles, and Sanbeile has been seriously injured and will have to recover for at least half a year. You say, what the hell should Ben Khan do? ”

Hu Erhan is one of the only two remaining ministers of the Five Ministers, and when everyone was still talking, he was the first to stand up and say:

"Great Khan, Xiong Tingbi has been unable to hold on in the past few years, and he only started to counterattack after this battle, which shows that he really relied on it."

"With his character, if he doesn't completely return to Liaodong, I'm afraid he won't stop, and the top priority is whether to defend Liaodong anymore."

Indeed, this issue is the focus of this discussion.

Fan Wencheng came out and said: "Great Khan, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Nurhachi glanced at him and raised his hand.

Fan Wencheng kowtowed and continued: "The slave feels that Liaodong can't be defended any longer. ”

As soon as the words fell, several shouts and curses were aroused in the court of the Khan.

Dai Shan has always been steady, but this time he refused to agree, and sneered:

"Sir is not a member of my Jurchen tribe, and I can't understand how my people have worked hard to win Liaodong from the hands of the Southern Barbarians, a fort and a city, all of which my Jurchen warriors exchanged for their bloody lives."

"Mr. speaks so frivolously, I'm afraid he already has an idea in his heart?"

Fan Wencheng heard that Dai Shan's words meant insinuations, ridiculing him for being a Han, but he had long been used to being an official in Houjin, and this kind of thing was commonplace.

He did not react to the sarcasm in Dai Shan's words, and said to himself:

"If the last war was short, Daikin was not damaged much, and I could try to forge ahead again, but my Dajin national strength was not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and after the war, it was even more seriously damaged, and the gains in defending Liaodong outweighed the losses."

"Besides, after the last battle, I'm afraid that many banner people are not very willing to put on armor again, right?"

When Fan Wencheng said this, he looked at Nurhachi and said earnestly:

"Great Khan, the capture of Liaodong is a long-term plan, you can't just try to be quick for a while, Dajin can withdraw from Liaodong in order to preserve his strength, and intend to enter again in the next year!"

At this time, Huang Taiji also stood up and said:

"Father Khan, what Mr. Fan said is indeed the truth."

"The yellow flag and the two blue flags suffered the heaviest losses, and they urgently needed to be rebuilt, and after the war, every family had lost their lives, and it was indeed difficult for them to go out to defend the city at this time."

"Once the rebellion of the flag people is aroused, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of Daikin."

Huang Taiji was a little excited, his voice sounded a little hoarse, and he was still panting for breath after speaking, and he looked like he had experienced a fierce ideological struggle before he would say these rebellious words.

Nurhachi looked at his son, his eyes changed, and he finally sighed and said, "Could it be that Liaodong, which was fought in the sea of blood in Ben Khan's corpse mountain, is going to give it up like this?" ”

"Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi!!"
