Song Tongyin was preoccupied and did not say too many words to Wang Zezhi.

He asked directly, how much artichoke Wang Zezhi could give him.

After Wang Zezhi stretched out a hand and told him that he could only give 50,000 stones, Song Tongyin directly agreed.

You must know that Song Tongyin took Wang Zezhi's Wang Wanshi artichoke, but it didn't cost a tael of silver.

It is equivalent to Wang Zezhi giving it to him for nothing.

Song Tong Yin prostituted 50,000 stones, and naturally he wouldn't say anything.

After getting Wang Zezhi's reply, Song Tongyin led the people to start the handover, and after the handover, he led 50,000 stone potatoes to rush back to the Taiyuan Mansion overnight.

Song Tongyin is gone, and the merchants downstairs have also dispersed.

The next thing Wang Zezhi has to do is wait.

During this period, Wang Zezhi was not idle, he first ordered the Logistics Department and the Construction Corps to draw out 10,000 elites each to form an engineer battalion.

Then he issued an order to tell the people not to waste grain seeds because of the drought and lack of rain.

Wang Zezhi, who did not have enough to eat, distributed rice and grain to the garrison departments at all levels, and ordered them to give porridge to help the people get through this year.

No one knew that Wang Zezhi's move was to guard against Huang Taiji.

According to Wang Zezhi's knowledge, when the change occurred, Huang Taiji could not attack the emperor for a long time, so he plundered the army.

From Shuntianfu to Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, and even Jinan, Shandong, once hit.

Not only did they plunder the people, but wherever they passed along the way, they would burn the crops in the fields, and it can be said that the golden soldiers did not grow a single grass.

Although it is said that Datong Mansion is already very prosperous, prosperity does not mean that it is strong, and Wang Zezhi does not dare to guarantee that the entire territory of Datong Mansion will be unharmed.

Therefore, he should plan ahead and save food seeds.

Wang Zezhi returned to the General Military Administration and began to study.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji began to continuously carry out large-scale military use against the Chahar Mongol forces in the west, the purpose of which was to force Lin Dan Khan to withdraw beyond the West Lamulun River by force, and to free up a route for the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty to avoid the Shanhaiguan defense line and go straight to the Jingshi.

This alone can also be deduced, Huang Taiji launched this war not on a whim, but has been planned for a long time and has a clear purpose.

What is Huang Taiji's move for?

In order to defeat the Kyoshi?

Relying on the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty at that time, it was still difficult to really annex a huge Ming Empire, and this was not something that could be achieved by taking Beijing City alone, and this operation was still based on not breaking through the Shanhaiguan defense line, in this case, it was difficult for the Jin soldiers to fight for a long time.

Therefore, his purpose is definitely not to capture Jingshi.

Is it to plunder food and people?

If it is a simple plundering of resources, Huang Taiji does not need to rush to Beijing City, which is easy to attract a large number of Ming troops, but can loot at the junction of the border of the Ming Dynasty and Chahar Mongolia, which can not only improve the transportation efficiency of resources, but also avoid a certain degree of risk.

Huang Taiji used almost the entire country's troops in this battle.

More than 100,000 troops poured out of the nest and ran to the Ming Dynasty to fight tooth sacrifices, and this account was not cost-effective.

Wang Zezhi believes that Huang Taiji's move is to establish his prestige, second, to attack the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, and third, to eradicate Yuan Chonghuan, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

However, Wang Zezhi believes that the main purpose of Huang Taiji should be to eradicate Yuan Chonghuan.

In 1626 A.D. (the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven), coinciding with the death of Nurhachi and the accession of Emperor Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan sent a delegation of 34 people to Shengjing, the real purpose of which was to test whether the new Great Khan Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty had the will to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, because Yuan Chonghuan was in urgent need of time to build the Ningyuan forward defense line at that time, and to complete this "feat" must be implemented on the basis of not being interfered with by the Later Jin forces.

On the other hand, because the situation faced by the Later Jin at that time was not optimistic, it was also necessary to gain a certain amount of time to resolve the internal contradictions and the Korean forces behind it, so that Huang Taiji was still very positive in the attitude of negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Just when the two sides were "harboring ghosts" in order to negotiate peace, Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji carried out a series of peace discussions and activities in the following time, and it should be noted that all this was carried out after Yuan Chonghuan reported to the imperial court.

Since the peasant uprising in northern Shaanxi at that time had not reached the point of uncontrollability, the relative explanation of the court was basically not interested in negotiating peace, and in the eyes of the rulers of the authorities, they only wanted to quickly recover the lost territory in Liaodong by force, and that was it.

At this point, people in the court suspected that Yuan Chonghuan was secretly colluding with Huang Taiji began to appear

According to the historical material "Ming Ji Beiluo" volume 4, "Yuan Chonghuan's Majesty" records that in the process of peace negotiation between Huang Taiji and Yuan Chonghuan, the Houjin side issued such a condition, that is, Yuan Chonghuan would guarantee the elimination of Mao Wenlong's forces in Dongjiang Town.

Facts have proved that Yuan Chonghuan did kill Mao Wenlong without authorization in the process of implementing the "Five-Year Plan for Recovering Liao", and as soon as Mao Wenlong died, the Ming Dynasty's containment force in the rear of the Later Jin Dynasty gradually dropped to zero, which directly led to the weakening of the Ming Dynasty's defense capability in the Liaodong region.

After Mao Wenlong's death, Huang Taiji directly pointed the goal of the game with Yuan Chonghuan at Yuan Chonghuan himself.

At that time, the most taboo thing in the Ming Dynasty was to mention the negotiation of peace with the Later Jin, and the person who mentioned this matter was tantamount to Qin Hui in the eyes of other ministers of the court, and he would be punished by everyone.

However, Yuan Chonghuan boasted to the emperor that he had recovered Haikou in Liaodong in five years.

Even if he boasted about Haikou, he was still a person who advocated peace by war.

Because Yuan Chonghuan clearly knew that if he didn't seek peace by war, it would be a joke to recover Liaodong in five years.

When the five-year period arrives, he has not recovered Liaodong, and what he will face is the crime of bullying the king.

One of the main purposes of Huang Taiji's move was to slap Yuan Chonghuan in the face, so that the people in the court would suspect Yuan Chonghuan and take the opportunity to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Yuan Chonghuan was successfully admitted to the Jinshi and was appointed as the magistrate of Fujian. However, Yuan Chonghuan, who served as such a civilian official, liked to discuss military affairs with others, and often asked people to discuss the merits of some military techniques.

It was even more so when he met some retired veterans, with whom he would discuss military life and the war situation on the border.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan still has a good understanding of the situation at the border gates.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), Ming Xizong died, and Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, designed to remove Wei Zhongxian, and cut down the people who had taken on the military merit before.

At the suggestion of the ministers of the DPRK and China, Yuan Chonghuan was able to be reinstated, supervising Ji Liao, and concurrently supervising the military affairs of Denglai and Tianjin.

In July 1628, Yuan Chonghuan returned to the capital and stated the military affairs, and Zhu Youzhen summoned Yuan Chonghuan on the platform, and Yuan Chonghuan claimed that he could return to Liao in five years, and Zhu Youzhen praised this.

After Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Liaodong, he rectified military affairs, repaired the city, and he killed Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji hated him to the core.

It hasn't been a day or two since Huang Taiji wanted to get rid of Yuan Chonghuan, so the real purpose of Emperor Taiji is to eradicate Yuan Chonghuan.
