Tao Min had just returned to his room, and Dolgon came to the door again: "Tao Min, the emperor's will has also arrived, we can't resist and disobey the order so much." ”

Tao Min heard Dolgon's tone a little tough, and knew that he was also in a hurry, so he walked over and closed the door: "Lord Wang, please take a seat, the slave is about to discuss this matter with the prince." ”

Dolgon sat down on the chair, and Tao Min walked to the map: "Lord Wang, please see, now the Ming army of 50,000 has taken Jinzhou, and their warships are thirty, and the minions guess that the Ming army will definitely build a defense line in Jinzhou to block Shengjing and Lushun." ”

"These kings know, you just say what we should do." Dorgon interjected.

"Don't worry, Lord Wang." Tao Min said unhurriedly, "If we want to aid Jinzhou from the sea, we need to transfer warships from Tsushima Island, but we only have ten warships, and we can't defeat the Ming Army's naval division." ”

"Then let's go by land." Dorgon shouted.

"Lord Wang, please look here." Tao Min's finger pointed at Sheng Jing, "The strength of the Ming army is only 50,000, and Lushun has 20,000 elites of my Qing Dynasty, and the Ming army will not be able to defeat it for a while and a half." Shengjing is only 800 miles away from Lushun, which is much closer than Nanpu. Moreover, Shengjing can completely gather 50,000 horses, and we only have 30,000 people in Nanpu plus the prince. The prince has thought about it, why would the emperor go to the near and far and let us go to reinforce Lushun, but Sheng Jing did not move. ”

It's not that Dorgon hasn't thought about it, it's just that he doesn't want to admit it, and he doesn't dare to admit it. Now that Tao Min had spoken up the question, Dolgon did not answer, but asked, "What should we do with you?" ”

Tao Min took his finger off the map and said slowly: "Lord Wang, let's fight in another place." ”

"Change place, change where?" Dolgon walked over and leaned on the map to look at it carefully, "You mean let's go to Dengzhou?" ”

"No, let's not go to Dengzhou." Tao Min put his finger on Tsushima Island again, and then moved down a short distance, "Let's go from Tsushima Island to fight Dongying." ”

"You're going to fight Dongying now?" Dolgon didn't know what Tao Min thought, why did he still go to Dongying at this time, did he leave Lushun and Shengjing alone?

"Lord Wang, please sit down, please listen to the minion."

Tao Min analyzed the current situation for Dorgon in detail. Lushun has 20,000 elite soldiers, and there are city fire artillery, and there is a lot of food, even if the 50,000 Ming army attacks with all its might, it will not be able to defeat it in two or three months. Huang Taiji will definitely not sit idly by, Shengjing's reinforcements will definitely go to reinforce Lushun, so even if the Ming Dynasty increases its troops, this battle will not end in half a year. Now it is possible to temporarily abandon Nampo, transfer the 30,000 horses of Nampo to Tsushima Island, and attack Nagasaki in the east with 90,000 troops. You don't have to occupy the whole of Toei, you just need to gain a foothold in Nagasaki and negotiate with Tokugawa Iemitsu. Tao Min meant that Dong Ying must agree to the stationing of the new Korean army in Dong Young in order to demonstrate the might of the new Korean army. When the agreement with Tokugawa Iemitsu is reached, only 10,000 or 20,000 horses need to be left in Dongying to be responsible for recruitment, and the rest of the Eight Banners and the new Korean army can be withdrawn to Nampo. And at that time, it may be that the battle of Lushun had not yet been fought.

Tao Min repeatedly emphasized that Dongying has a population of 10 million, which is a good source of soldiers. After conquering Dongying, you can train at least 100,000 Dongying troops in a year or two, so that you can compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Dolgon asked a question, although it is good to attack Dongying, but it goes against the will of Huang Taiji, what if Huang Taiji takes this opportunity to blame him?

Tao Min gave Dolgon a reassurance: "Prince, if the prince has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and Korea and Dongying are under the control of the prince, do you say that the emperor will still blame you?" ”

Dolgon was moved by Tao Min's words: "Just Mr. Yi, let's go to Dongying." ”

Tao Min smiled secretly in his heart: "When I went to Tsushima Island, I defeated Japan." You have 10,000 banners, and I have 80,000 Korean new troops. Dolgon, who will be the master of Japan? ”

Tao Min's true thoughts were not told to Dorgon, and he could not be told to him. Tao Min is not trying to give up Nanpu temporarily, but wants to give up Nanpu permanently. Nanpu is too close to Shengjing and Dengzhou, and Huang Taiji will know his every move, and Dengzhou's warships may come to attack Nanpu at any time, and he has to be on guard at any time, which is very energy-intensive. Tao Min wanted to give up Nampo to Yulin Bay or the Ming Dynasty, and the new Korean army went to Tsushima Island this time, as long as Japan was taken, it could go back and establish rule in the southern part of Korea. In this way, he is separated from Huang Taiji by North Korea, so that his actions are much freer, and this layout can not only allow the Ming Dynasty to attack Huang Taiji from North Korea and Ningyuan, but also can attack North Korea with Huang Taiji, and the initiative will always be in their own hands.

As for Dolgon, he will also be a banner of Manchuria in the future, and he will be kept now.

It has been ten days since Jinzhou was defeated by the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team, and the defense line of the Jinzhou Isthmus has also taken a slight shape. Han Wantao dug a large number of trenches and pulled two barbed wire fences two miles south of Jinzhou. The strange thing is that in the past ten days, there have been no reinforcements from the Eight Banners in the direction of Shengjing, nor any movement on the North Korean side. The 3,000 reinforcements from Lushun also set up camp three miles away from Han Wantao's barbed wire, and they have been confronting Han Wantao without any action.

Zheng Zhilong sent two warships to Nanpu for a turn, but Nanpu did not react, but the city defense artillery on the head of the city fired a few shots. Zheng Zhilong's battleship did not dare to approach, and retreated to Jinzhou after a few firefights.

The temporary silence made these traversers scratch their heads, and Jiang Beiming explained with a smile at the Yulin Army's own officer meeting: "There is nothing difficult to understand about this. Shengjing must not have gathered troops and horses yet, and besides, Shengjing is eight hundred miles away from here, even if they set off, they will not be able to come so early. It's slower on the Nanpu side, and I guess Tao Min may be eager to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight this time, and if we hit Huang Taiji's Eight Banners hard, his new Korean army will be more reused. ”

"But the Eight Banners on Lushun's side did not move, neither attacking nor retreating." Zeng Guangxian said he couldn't figure it out.

"They're probably scared of our barbed wire." Han Wantao said, "In front of the barbed wire, those cavalry can only be beaten. ”

"Don't think about it, everybody." Jiang Beiming concluded, "It is our opportunity to seize the time to get the long wall right. Let's still follow the original plan, as long as the defense line of Golden State is done, we will go all out to defeat Lushun. ”
