Hwang Tae-gil did arrive in Pyongyang!

This was not only unexpected by the Ming Dynasty, but even by all the Manchu magnates, after all, they never thought that the emperor would choose to defend against the enemy in Pyongyang.

When Hwang Tae-gil's pro-unification army came to Pyongyang, it was the beginning of this winter when the snow fell, and he laughed as he watched the snowflakes coming in one after another.

"In this battle, I will win!"

It's not a must-win, it's a must-win!

Subsequently, he began to prepare for the Ming army, although before this, the wall has been cleared, but the real preparation, or after Huang Taiji arrived in Pyongyang, he not only ordered people to dig a long trench, but also used the fort basket to temporarily build a number of fortresses, in fact, his long trench is the core of the fortress built by the earthen basket, when he was preparing, the horse reported - the Ming army arrived!

When it was more than 30 miles away from Pyongyang, the Ming army stopped attacking, and then, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the company camped and set up a fortress, and the defense was extremely tight.

Huang Taiji was not surprised by this, after all, the opponent was also an expert in using soldiers. They may both like to take risks, but in fact, they are taking risks and using them steadily, and they are trying not to leave loopholes for each other as much as possible, after all, any loopholes mean that they need to pay a very heavy price.

"Tokushiko is here!"

Carefully examining the map in the big tent, Huang Taiji spat out such a sentence for a long time. Several ministers in front of him stood behind him without saying a word. In the big tent, it was surprisingly quiet, and it showed the tense atmosphere before the war.

Huang Taiji finally raised his head:

"Ji'er Harang, I ask you, if the Ming army wants to storm the long trench, how sure are you to stop them, this is the place where our army and the Ming army are facing each other, in case of loss, I am afraid that my Great Qing Kingdom will really die without a place to be buried!"

"Back to the emperor, the minister built a long trench here, and there are antlers made of canopies in front of the long trench, and there are also the elite of my 30,000 eight banners new army, even if Zhu Ciying leads the whole army to attack, our army is as stable as Mount Tai."

And the one who was standing on the side also said confidently.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please believe that no one can overcome your defensive line, this defensive line is definitely the strongest defensive line ever, even if the Ming army attacks with the latest howitzers, it will not bring many casualties to the heroic Eight Banners soldiers, and there are also many cannons on the batteries we built with artillery forts, they can all fire the latest grenades, and there is no need to worry about the Ming army at all!"

In addition to selling gunpowder, artillery, and muskets to the Manchus for gold and silver, he also expanded many businesses with other people, and the success of the business allowed him to be rewarded by the company many times, which is why he was here - to maintain relations with the Manchus as much as possible, to help them train their armies and build fortresses.

"Hmmm......"

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, and then said.

"Well, having said that, we must not underestimate the enemy, we have invested 30,000, but the Ming army has an army of 100,000, only 30,000 can't do it, I brought more than 100,000 horses and horses, in a place where the enemy is facing the enemy, how can I only put 30,000 people? This time it's not to have a draw with Zhu Ciying, but to hit him hard in one fell swoop, and even eliminate them! In this way, another 20,000 people will be dispatched and commanded by you. ”

With that, he looked at Zilharang again and said.

"King Zheng, this is a rare opportunity, the Ming army is attacking, let's defend, as long as we hold the long trench and let Zhu Ciying pay a heavy price, he will definitely make peace with us,"

To fight and promote!

That's why Huang Taiji is here!

Huang Taiji, who knew that no matter what, the Ming army would go all the way south, and would never leave a way for himself to live, clearly knew that the way to survive in the Great Qing Kingdom was whether he could defeat Zhu Ciying, and only by defeating him, making his teeth break and suffer pain, he would no longer fight the idea of the Great Qing Kingdom.

In order to break Zhu Ciying's teeth, Huang Taiji personally led his troops to Pyongyang. At this moment, Huang Taiji's whole mind is on how to use soldiers, and there is only the Ming army dozens of miles away in his eyes, how will the Ming army deal with it?

"Well, Your Majesty, the truth is true, but we still can't afford to guard against it over there with Fangbao and Zhengfang Mountain City, there are more than 10,000 Ming troops there, in case they cut off our back road, it will be all over!"

Zilharang reminded again. This is also what he is worried about, if the back road is cut off, everything will be over.

Nodding, Huang Taiji said:

"Well, we do need to be careful, but at the moment we don't have any other choice, let's die and live! In Seoul, there is no hidden danger of being attacked by the enemy, but if the Ming army breaks Pyongyang, the Koreans will definitely rise up one after another, and when the time comes, we will be undefeated and defeated, don't forget, we still have 100,000 green battalion soldiers in our army, they are Koreans......"

After all, North Korea is not the Great Qing Dynasty, if the Ming army is allowed to go south to Seoul to defend against the enemy, Huang Taiji is worried about the turmoil of the Green Battalion.

"Your Majesty, although those green battalion soldiers are Koreans, but they are sluts with insufficient pigs and dogs, the emperor takes them as soldiers, gives them food and salary, and promises to make military achievements in the future, they can be included in the Eight Banners of Goryeo, such a favor, how can they not be grateful, in the eyes of the slaves, no matter what, they will never betray my Qing Dynasty!"

As the leader of the Eight Banners of Goryeo, Jin Xindali hurriedly argued. He is also a Korean, and he is a member of the Korean two-class Shi clan, who fled to the Manchu Qing more than ten years ago. As a North Korean, although he doesn't look down on those untouchables in his bones, of course he also knows what it means for untouched people to join the green camp - it means a new life!

If the untouchables in North Korea want to get rid of the identity of "untouchables", they can only get official positions by taking the imperial examinations of miscellaneous subjects and martial arts, and when the time comes, his identity will become a Chinese person! However, only men can take the test, and women can only be untouchables for the rest of their lives. But how many untouchables have the opportunity to take the miscellaneous and martial arts exams?

But the untouchables can join the green battalion and become the green battalion soldiers, if he makes military achievements into the eight banners, his wife and children can also become banner people, for those untouchables who are inferior to pigs and dogs, this is indeed a good choice. And because of this, they will not betray.

"Jin Xindali, of course I know that the Green Camp is full of loyal minions, but some of them will inevitably be bewitched! So, I have to guard against it! What's more, more importantly, if the Korean people are in turmoil, what will my 160,000 army eat at that time? With what? Therefore, if we fight this battle in Pyongyang, the North Koreans will wait and see, but if it is in Seoul, they will immediately stand on the side of Myeong, and the North Koreans will ......"

With a long sigh, Huang Taiji said helplessly.

"In their eyes, Da Ming is everything to them! A few years ago, King Li descended to the Qing Dynasty, but he also surrendered his heart and did not surrender, and the whole of Korea was ashamed of it, but the strength was not as good as that of the Qing Dynasty, so it could only be so, and now the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue, how could they sit on the wall and watch? ”

As an occupier, Huang Taiji, after experiencing the resistance of the Liao people when he first entered Liaodong, clearly knew what the result would be once the Qing Dynasty could not suppress people with force.

At that time, not only will no one be used by the Qing Dynasty, but they will even rise up one after another. Attack them from all sides.

At that time, there were pursuers in front and rebellious people in the back. When the time comes, it's really a dead end. The best option for the Qing Dynasty was to defeat the Ming army in Pyongyang, and only in this way could the Koreans be persuaded to become slaves of the Qing Dynasty.

This is even the only option of the Qing Dynasty.

The current Qing Kingdom cannot afford to lose, and it cannot afford to lose. No matter what, this battle must be won. Otherwise, there is really no place to bury.

"It's decided, I'll go to the front line in person to see what's going on over there."

The reason why I did this is because I don't feel at ease! Huang Taiji really can't rest assured that he will hand over such an important matter to those minions, after all, minions are minions, maybe they can give their lives to their masters, but how can they rest assured that the future of the Great Qing Kingdom will be handed over to them?
