Dalinghe Fort.

In front of this dungeon that plunges straight into the heart of the Jurchens.

Two Manchu princes sat on tall horses, looking at the majestic Xiongguan that was built in a month.

One of them was Dolgon, who wore a white dragon-patterned armor, and he had a deep entanglement with Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the fort, and Cao Wenzhao's sister-in-law, Zhu Shun, had a deep hatred for him, and was undoubtedly the Manchu prince who most wanted to capture this Xiongguan.

But his remarks were opposed by most of the Prince Baylor, and even said that he, the most capable Prince Rui of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had no courage to fear Cao Wenzhao.

Dolgon did not suggest that the Qing Kingdom attack Dalinghe Fort, but proposed not to attack Dalinghe Fort, but only besieged but not attacked, and Shanhaiguan was also besieged but not attacked.

Send a team of Eight Banners soldiers from Lulongdao into the Central Plains, but not to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but to attack the industrial city.

The cold wind was howling, and Dolgon's white dragon-patterned armor kept rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this time, just quietly looking at the Great Linghe Fort.

After a long time, Dolgon retracted his gaze: "Yue Tuo, this king has a hunch that the appearance of the industrial city is like the cavalry that appeared during the Han Dynasty of the Central Plains. ”

"The replacement of the chariot that has existed for more than a thousand years has completely changed the war situation for thousands of years to come, and the emergence of industrial cities will also change the war situation in the future."

Although Yue Tuo is a full man, he does not have a pigtail of money, but a bun with a high crown and a broad belt.

There is also a feather fan in his hand, and he looks like a crown of jade, looking quite like a famous man in the Central Plains with a lupine scarf.

Unlike the old-fashioned Prince Baylor, Yue Tuo agreed with Dolgon's idea, and shook his feather fan lightly and said, "What Prince Rui said is very true. ”

"The two sides of the war are attacking the city, and the purpose is nothing more than a few points, one is to plunder the gold, silver, food, and women in the city, make up for the consumption of the army, and achieve the purpose of feeding the war with war."

"The second is that the state and the capital of the city gather the hearts of the people of a state and a government, and if you directly take down the governance of a state and a government, it will be difficult for the state capital to unite the people, and it may even collapse."

"It will be much easier to attack the rest of the state in the future, and you won't encounter much resistance."

"Other cities, such as Shanhaiguan Tongguan, are dangerous in the situation, and they are the passes of one side, even if there is no gold and silver women and they have not gathered the hearts of the people, they must still be taken."

Yue Tuo glanced at the Great Linghe Fort in the wind and snow, and continued: "As Prince Rui said, the emergence of the industrial city will indeed bring earth-shaking changes to the war, and even change the situation of the war from now on. ”

The number of ledgers provided by Dolgon, the Prince of Rui, and Yue Tuo, the Prince of Cheng, from the Jin merchants, clearly knew the output of the industrial city.

It is filled with a large number of workshops, which are called steam factories by Zhu Shun and others, including textile steam factories, potato flour steam factories, Daming munitions companies and other steam factories.

The cloth, coal, flour, and so on produced by Hou Zhuangzi alone are enough for 706,861 mouths in Shuntianfu and more than 1 million mouths in the capital, which adds up to the needs of nearly two million people.

The production capacity of those steam factories in the Zhuangzi of the industrial Hou Zhu Shun is simply beyond imagination, no wonder the Ming people regard the steam factories of the industrial Hou Zhu Shun as witchcraft.

Both Dorgon and Yueto saw this, and boldly speculated that the situation of the war would change in the future, and their eyes were extremely far-sighted.

Yue Tuo stopped the feather fan in his hand and continued: "As long as the Great Qing Kingdom captures this industrial city, it will cut off all the supply of grain, charcoal, and cloth in the capital and Shuntianfu. ”

"As Prince Rui said, the war situation has been completely turned upside down, from taking cities one after another to destroying these steam factories that produce food and clothing."

Dolgon was not at all surprised that Yue Tuo could have such a thorough vision, there were not many people in the Great Qing Kingdom who could understand his thoughts, and Yue Tuo was definitely one of them.

This is also the biggest reason why Dolgon must destroy the industrial city, this is still an industrial city, if every state capital in the Ming Dynasty has an industrial city.

The power of the Ming court will swell to an unimaginable level, and in order to completely eliminate this situation, it must be completely destroyed when there is only one industrial city.

Zhu Shun is not here, if he hears the remarks of the two here, he will definitely give the highest evaluation to these two people.

The biggest ideological change in modern warfare is that it has changed from conquering cities in the cold weapon era to destroying industrial centers and economic centers.

As long as the industrial center and economic center of a country are completely destroyed, the country will have no war capability.

Unexpectedly, Dolgon and Yueto had already seen it, saw the ideological change of the industrial revolution on war, and firmly put their guesses into practice.

It is ready to completely destroy the industrial city that Zhu Shun has just established, and it is also the industrial center that has begun to take shape in the Ming Dynasty.

But the people who can stand on the top of the mountain and watch the scenery are only a few after all, and those older princes with heavy troops still insist on their own opinions.

Just as a few hundred years later, the West has entered the electric age after two industrial revolutions, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still in the era of small-scale peasant economy.

Even after one defeat after another and the signing of a large number of unequal treaties, there are still many princes Baylor who still cling to their own opinions and are unwilling to carry out the industrial revolution in China to catch up with the West.

What's more, the current Qing Dynasty has an absolute advantage over the Ming court, and those founding princes Baylor, who has a heavy army, will not agree with Dorgon's idea.

Yue Tuo shook his feather fan and said, "If you want to capture Dalinghe Fort, you will have to kill five thousand people and horses, and this is very clear to the princes of the Great Qing Kingdom. ”

"As long as you come up with a plan that can conquer Dalinghe Fort without abandoning one side of the road, presumably they will have to agree if they don't approve of it."

Dolgon lightly clamped the horse's belly, turned the head of the Liaodong horse, and galloped across the snowfield.

As Yue Tuo said, it is true that the older generation of princes and Baylors did not agree with their ideas, but there were other ways to get them to agree.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

In the camp tent, there are embroidered piers, and more than half of the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Beile Beizi, is discussing a strategy to attack Dalinghe Fort.

However, no matter how much they discussed, the final result of the negotiation could only be the stupid method of storming, which caused a stalemate in the camp.

Dolgon walked into the tent, and as the owner of the white flag, he sat directly on the white dragon embroidered pier in the front row, and waited for half a burnt incense with peace of mind.

Just when the other princes, Baelor, couldn't find a good solution, Dorgon spoke.
