In late autumn, the autumn wind blows, and people and horses neigh everywhere in Shengjing City.

It's another expedition!

In the past few days, the Eight Banners army from the garrison area has gathered from all over the Great Qing Kingdom to Shengjing, and the Great Qing Kingdom is going to march south again!

Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty who had worked hard all day, climbed the city tower and was looking into the distance from the tower. The delicate evening breeze gently blows the face with a slight warmth, brushing away the tiredness and irritability of the day. The sunset is churning in the sky, welcoming the return of the sunset with its incomparably brilliant splendor.

Huang Taiji's mood at the moment was extremely relaxed and cheerful.

Looking to the west, the avenue leading to the Central Plains seems to have become a thoroughfare, and there is no slightest obstacle behind him, he seems to feel that as long as he gently raises the whip, he can jump into the Yanjing City, as long as his arms are slightly wrapped, he can take the world into his arms. He smirked.

"No wonder people say that climbing to the top gives birth to the ambition of the country, and I even have the ambition of the country in the Southern Dynasty."

However, for Huang Taiji, now, what he wants is to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, as long as it can become a country of brothers, even the state of father and son is not impossible, as long as the Southern Dynasty agrees, he will be able to have more than ten years to recuperate, and at that time, perhaps, he can really have the ambition of the Southern Dynasty!

After all, compared to the Southern Dynasties, the Great Qing Kingdom was too weak. In particular, the number of people is very small, and the population of Manchuria is only a few hundred thousand...... And what about the Southern Dynasties? With a population of hundreds of millions, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of troops can be used at every turn!

Ding Xingwang, a native of the Southern Dynasties, is really not the enemy of the current Qing Dynasty!

As long as you can have twenty years to live together!

Staring at the Baoyi Aha who was working in the fields in the distance outside the city, for twenty years, these captive Han Aha were the real Baoyi, and at that time, the Great Qing Kingdom would be able to compete with the Southern Dynasties!

At that moment, the guard approached:

"Your Majesty, I have returned from the Central Plains and asked to see you."

Huang Tai Chi Dao.

"I was thinking about the Central Plains, so I came to the Central Plains, and sent all the princes, Baylor, and the scholars of the three academies to Qingning Palace."

Even if the Fan family and others took the initiative to provide information about the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji still sent spies to the Ming Dynasty, they were all Han people who were captured a few years ago, but they took the initiative to vote for the master, and now they take the initiative to sneak into the Central Plains to listen to the news of the Qing Dynasty.

One of them is called Wang Nian, and the other is Sun Qixian, both of whom were born in the Ming Dynasty. The two were waiting outside the Qingning Palace at the moment. Huang Taiji saw that everyone had arrived, and said to the guards:

"Pass them in."

After the two came in, they bowed to the emperor and the others, and the emperor asked eagerly:

"What's the situation with the Southern Dynasty lately?"

Wang Nian hurriedly said:

"Emperor Qiqi, since Zhang Xianzhong raised the anti-flag in Huguanggu City in May, there are all kinds of anti-thieves to meet with it, when the slaves return to the court, the anti-thieves are divided into east and west two ends, so far the Southern Dynasty "Fu Bureau" can be described as bankrupt, and the interior of the Ming Dynasty once again fell into the turmoil. Now Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ming State Military Department, has received the emperor's order to go south to supervise the division. At present, all kinds of armies of the Southern Dynasties have been assembled in Huguang and other places to suppress the anti-thief ......"

Nodding slightly, Huang Taiji smiled:

"So, Beizhili is really empty?"

"Back to the emperor, not only is Beizhili empty, Shandong and other places are also very empty, as far as the news of the slave control, in addition to the border army, the internal emptiness is extreme, as for Shandong, although there is a guard, and there are more than 10,000 newly trained township soldiers, but it is also unbearable."

"Mr. Fan, do you think it's time for my army to enter the customs?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again, now is the best time, the Ming Kingdom will never think that I will enter the customs one after another, this time it is bound to be a surprise, in the opinion of the minister, you can bypass the North Zhili, Shandong, all the way south to Huai'an, and then erosion of the South Zhili, so, you must be able to achieve the emperor's remnant strategy."

The strategy of remnants of the Ming Dynasty was formulated last year, that is, by entering the Ming Kingdom, by killing and abducting the people and corrupting the places as a means to achieve the goal of making the Ming Kingdom break its muscles and bones, and finally force the northern Ming economy to collapse, and then choose peace talks.

Fan Wencheng's words made Huang Taiji ponder for a long time:

"Mr. Fan saw it thoroughly, last year's expedition to Ming, we helped the Western bandits against the thieves, it seems that the help is not enough, and our attack on the Ming Kingdom is not ruthless. Last year, I ruled the eight-character strategy of governing the country: Remnant Ming, Lianmeng, Youhan, and Yi Vulgar, and this year is the same, since I want to remnant Ming, then I might as well move bigger, and I want to launch a larger-scale expedition. ”

Everyone was thrilled when they heard this. Dolgon immediately stood up and spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go out to wash away the shame of last year."

Seeing that Dolgon took the initiative to ask, Huang Taiji smiled and said:

"King Rui, this expedition is different from usual, I ask you to go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is to cross the Yellow River, and after the North Zhili last year after King Rui rushed all the way, it is already a red land, according to Mingchen, "from the suburbs of Beijing Qingdu, Xinle, Zhending, Luancheng, Baixiang, Neiqiu, to Shunde, a thousand miles, a look at the thorn stick, the four suburbs of rubble", the entire Jinan County, the nineteenth of the people's deaths." This time, no one in Beizhili may care about your food! And this time it is to prepare for the future entry into the Central Plains to fight, then the Yellow River is better, but if the Ming army attacks, when the time comes, how should King Rui get out? After hearing me say this, do you have the guts? ”

Faced with the emperor's question, Dolgon smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, am I not as good as the people of the Southern Dynasty in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty? Don't say it's crossing the Yellow River, even if you cross the Yangtze River, why be afraid? ”

The reason why Dolgon is so anxious is because he had just been cut a few Niu Lu at the beginning of the year, and now he is eager to re-strengthen his power by entering the customs - the key is to capture more Han people, after all, he has long heard that the emperor is preparing to compile the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Han Army is naturally selected from Baoyi Ahha, and the Niu Lu that was cut can't come back, but the Han Army Niu Lu, that is also a soldier!

Huang Taiji, who knew why Dolgon was so active, of course did not refuse his request, which was also an opportunity to hit Dolgon, so he laughed and said:

"With King Rui here, why worry about my Qing Dynasty is not prosperous, this year's entry is the same as last year, my army is divided into left and right wings and still detours through Mongolia, first into Gyeonggi, and then into the Central Plains. After the two armies converged, Prince Tingrui had full authority to dispatch. ”

Then Huang Taiji said loudly:

"You go deep into the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, the purpose is to plunder the people of the Southern Dynasty as much as possible, and erode the Southern Dynasty, only in this way will the Southern Dynasty take the initiative to negotiate peace with me, but those who take the initiative to surrender can also be absorbed as much as possible."

"Remember."

After Dolgon and the others responded, Huang Taiji said again.

"After you set off, I will also personally lead the army to conquer the Ming, thinking that you will respond, and I will wait for your good news!"
