406 True Intent (Part II)
Lin Dan Khan restrained the main force of Huang Taiji in the north, and Mao Wenlong restrained the remaining Jurchens in Jinzhou, and the Jurchens were like opening their arms widely, exposing their soft abdomen and waiting for the Ming army to beat them, this temptation can be said to be very huge and impossible to refuse. Seeing that Sun Chengzong's old eyes also showed a burning light, Tianqi knew that Yuan Chonghuan's plan to sneak attack Shenyang was really something, and Sun Chengzong also knew that this plan was to make his own decision today.
Apocalypse said: "Is that Taiji of the former Khalkha Ministry reliable?" Is there still a defense force in Shenyang City? β
Sun Chengzong said: "But the unreliable ministers don't know, since there is a friendship and wants to make a big profit, it is not difficult to succeed β The soldiers in Yangcheng will not exceed 10,000, and at this time, if someone does it, it can be said that it is nine out of ten." β
Tianqi thought for a while and said: "In this way, Mao Wenlong can't be taken away, only if Mao Wenlong insists on dealing with the enemy can he drag Amin and Li Yongfang, but how long can they have less than 20,000 people and more than 60,000 people?" β
Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, if you want to achieve great things, you must give up, as long as you can take Shenyang, even if Mao Wenlong's people die, it is worth it, just like the pawn in chess to protect the car and the car to protect the handsome, there is a gain by giving up." β
Tianqi said: "Let me think about it again, when Mr. goes back, I will discuss with Lord Wang and Lord Gao first, what should we do to seize Shenyang?" What if you don't seize Shenyang? Wait for me to think about it before deciding whether to take Shenyang or not. β
Sun Chengzong took a deep breath and said: "The emperor thinks carefully, the minister will go back and make two sets of plans for them, and the minister will come back early tomorrow morning to ask for an order." β
After Sun Chengzong left, Tianqi fell into contemplation, if Yuan Chonghuan succeeded in a sneak attack and took Shenyang in one fell swoop, the form would immediately become different, even if he couldn't catch Huang Taiji's family subordinates, it would make those Jurchens and Mongols look at the Ming army differently. But there is also a great risk in this way, first of all, Mao Wenlong in Jinzhou is likely to be wiped out, and secondly, that Kharkrotaiji is likely to be unable to be bought, and the biggest risk is that Yuan Chonghuan may not be able to return if he goes to Shenyang. Yuan Chonghuan brought nearly 60,000 people, plus Mao Wenlong's nearly 20,000 people, and the destruction of nearly 80,000 people may only be an empty joy.
But it doesn't seem to be easy to retreat now, if Yuan Chonghuan has already captured Xiping Fort and has already made contact with that Khalkhataiji, how can he persuade this donkey to turn back? As a commander, it is okay to attack and defend with all your strength in a war, but the most fearful thing is that if you do not attack or defend, you will not be able to delay the fighter plane. If you want to fight, you must first boost the morale of the soldiers, and if you suddenly say that you will not fight, the soldiers will be dissatisfied, and on the contrary, the soldiers are preparing to retreat like arrows, and you suddenly want the soldiers to charge against each other, and the combat effectiveness at this time will definitely be greatly reduced.
Thinking that Wang Tiqian said that the money in the imperial court was still not enough to be spent indiscriminately, Tianqi turned his head and said to Wang Tiqian next to him: "You have heard what I and Mr. Sun said at the beginning, do you think we should capture Shenyang now or go to Jinzhou to fight the Jurchens?" β
Wang Tiqian said: "Slaves dare not interfere in military affairs. β
Apocalypse said, "Shut your mouth in the future, but it doesn't hurt to say it now." β
Wang Tiqian said: "The slave thinks that he can try not to fight if he doesn't fight, Shenyang is too far away to fight, and the imperial court can't afford to drag it down even though he has a little money now, so he sends food and clothes to Shenyang all the way, how much silver does it cost." It's best not to fight Jinzhou, and the people who should withdraw General Mao's soldiers will not be able to come back if they die. β
Tianqi looked at Wang Tiqian and said: "I can't see that you are still a pacifist, where there are immortal people in war, those who are more afraid of death on the battlefield are often the easiest to die." β
Wang Tiqian said: "The slave said this not because he was afraid of the dead, but because he had another saying. The emperor thought, how much has the Ming Dynasty changed under the emperor's regulation in recent years? If this continues, sooner or later, the Jurchens and Mongols will come to Beijing to ask the emperor for their guilt, or they will come to our army, strengthen the horses, and have more money and food, and go directly to the door. At that time, everyone was the emperor's people, so why let them fight to the death now? β
Tianqi shook his head and said: "Forget it, what you said is just an imagination, if you don't fight with people not to kill people, others will not obey you, those people on the grassland only believe in knives and fists, whoever has a fast knife and who has a big fist will obey whom, the way of Confucius and Mencius depends on people." You go to Kunning Palace now, see who they lose when they play cards, and whoever loses will call whoever comes to Qianqing Palace to scratch my back, just go now. β
After Wang Tiqian left, Tianqi lay on his side on the kang, he felt a little tired, so he was fascinated by his eyes, and after a while, he heard someone coming in, because there was a flue under the house, and a brazier was added to the house, so the room was a little hot. Tianqi opened his eyes and saw that it was Zhang Chunying who came in, only to see Zhang Chunying's face slightly red and walked in, first to greet Tianqi and then naturally sat on the edge of the bed, and asked softly: "Does the emperor really want someone to scratch his back?" β
Apocalypse was slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you?" Since I came, I came to the kang, maybe the house was a little hot, and my back was a little itchy, and I began to hear the queen say that I would ask someone to tickle me, and the more I thought about it, the more itchy it became, do you think it's strange? β
Zhang Chunying first took off her coat, and then said with a smile while taking off her shoes and putting on the kang: "Concubine Yichen sees that it's not that it's too hot, but that it's too cold, and the emperor is not willing to take a bath when it's cold, and if you don't take a bath for a long time, your body will naturally itch." On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor has been discussing military affairs in the Military Affairs Yuan, and they said that half of the emperor is discussing military affairs, and half of them do not want to take a bath, I don't know, right? β
Apocalypse said depressedly, "How can there be such a thing? Let's not talk about this, let's talk about why your face is a little red? Is it sick? β
Zhang Chunying sat behind Tianqi, and said while gently scratching with her hand: "No, the concubines went to see the queen in the afternoon, who knew that they said that the emperor had just left, and the queen was a little tired and asked the concubines to play a few for him, who knew that he would lose a lot of money without a few handfuls v Lan sister said that I hindered other people's good deeds, and the concubines didn't understand what it meant, until the princess came to ask who lost a lot of concubines, so I was a little embarrassed." Is the emperor a little moved by that little palace maid? Why don't the concubines go and tell her to let her come to bed tonight? β
Apocalypse said: "It's not tempting, I see her eyebrows and forehead remembering a person I knew back then, nostalgic and nothing else." Forget it tonight, let her come tomorrow night, I remember that your family is in business, right? β
Zhang Chunying said: "Yes, the emperor is short of money and wants to open a store again?" But the concubines can't help much, so let's ask Sister Siqin. β
Apocalypse said: "No, I think of a sentence called the mall like a battlefield, will your family take those big businesses when they do business?" I mean the big deals that are beyond your family's capabilities? β
Zhang Chunying shook her head and said: "The concubine couldn't remember those things back then, but I often heard such a sentence, that is, how many gray noodles are made into how big buns. β
Tianqi nodded and said: "This is true, but what I have heard is this, saying how big the belly is and how big the eggs are, and the sparrows will not be able to lay eggs to death. β
After Zhang Chunying got off the kang, he asked the palace maid by the door to call Wang Tiqian in, and after a while, the palace maid said that the prince was coming, and Tianqi said to Wang Tiqian who entered the door: "Write a few words and send them to Mr. Sun of the Military Affairs Yuan, so that they can only discuss one plan, and say that I have decided to send someone to them as soon as possible." β
Wang Tiqian asked, "May I ask what the emperor writes?" β
Tianqi said: "Just write the words 'how much gray flour is made and how big the bun'." β
After Wang Tiqian left, Tianqi said to Zhang Chunying: "Your brain is very messy, you sing two songs to me, be sober and sober, close the door first, don't scare others." β
Sun Chengzong is discussing with Wang Zaijin and others what to do, Gao Di and Xiong Tingbi are inclined to take Shenyang to teach Huang Taiji a lesson, and they all say that Daming needs such a victory too much, as long as he can take Shenyang and pay some price, it is worth itβ‘ Zaijin is inclined to rescue Mao Wenlong immediately, saying that talent is the most important battle, and there is a chance to fight, not only should rescue Mao Wenlong, but also should order Yuan Chonghuan to stick to Xiping Fortβ‘ the reason why Zaijin said this is because he just received a report from the front, saying that there is no one in Xiping Fort and Guangning, Yuan Chonghuan had already been stationed there, but there were Jurchen troops by the Sancha River who asked the Military Affairs Yuan if there were any new instructions.
Sun Chengzong knew that Yuan Chonghuan's instructions were very funny, tens of thousands of troops stopped when they saw a small number of enemies, and they also sent people back to Beijing to ask for instructions, it is better to fight like this than to pack up and come back, his real intention must be to take this opportunity to contact the old Mongolian acquaintanceβ‘ when Tiqian sent the meaning of the apocalypse, everyone stopped arguing, Sun Chengzong put the words sent by Wang Tiqian on the table after reading it and said: "The emperor has decided, you can watch it." β
Wang Zaijin got close to take a look at it, and immediately felt that it was not eliminated, 'How many gray noodles make how big buns' doesn't mean that he is allowed to take Shenyang? Listening to Wang Tiqian's meaning, the apocalypse only asked everyone to make a set of plans, and it couldn't be delayed quickly, it seemed that Mao Wenlong was more than lucky.
Sun Chengzong looked at Wang Zaijin's face and said with a smile: "The emperor has decided, what is Lord Wang going to do?" β
Wang Zaijin sighed and said: "Since the emperor has decided, then do it according to the emperor's wishes, General Mao can only listen to the fate of heaven and see his creation." β
