Chapter 337: Houjin's Strategic Disadvantages (Seeking Subscriptions, Recommendations, Collections)

Although he was a little skeptical of Fan Wencheng's hearing, Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Fan Wencheng's attitude.

"Sir, when you go, you must stabilize Ning Yuanming's army. As long as Ning Yuanming's army does not come to invade my Dajin, then any conditions can be negotiated with them. ”

In the face of Fan Wencheng, who did not think about his own safety, Huang Taiji gave him a very loose bottom line.

Hearing Huang Taiji's requirements and bottom line, Fan Wencheng showed a confident smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Wen Cheng will let Ning Yuan's Ming army never enter my big gold step.

It's just that how to deal with the Ming army's construction of a city in Jinzhou, please ask Your Majesty to instruct. ”

"The Ming army built a city in Jinzhou, Mr. doesn't have to pay attention to it. For less than a year and a half, the Ming army couldn't build any fortified cities. ”

At the mention of Jinzhou, Huang Taiji showed a look of disdain on his face.

If everything goes well, after 3 or 4 months at most, he will be able to personally raise a large army to attack Daming.

At that time, the city of Jinzhou, which had not yet been fully built, was not the best bait to attract the Ming army to come to help.

As long as the Ming army can be lured out of Ningyuan, then there will be a chance to capture Ningyuan, right?

Just like Fan Wencheng wished, after successfully ascending to the throne, Huang Taiji is now about to turn the strategic plan in his heart into reality step by step.

Since the first Ningyuan War, Huang Taiji has thought hard more than once about the complicated situation of Houjin, where should Houjin go in the future?

In the midst of hard thinking, when Huang Taiji put himself on a high place and observed the position of Houjin with a bird's-eye eye, Huang Taiji was taken aback by the harsh environment of Houjin.

Unconsciously, Houjin has been tightly locked in the center by the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, Li's Joseon, and Mao Wenlong and Shen Yourong on the Ming Sea.

Fortunately, Houjin's military power is the strongest in the world, and he can easily win the victory when attacking the surrounding side. But in any case, Houjin is really in a very disadvantageous position strategically.

Houjin has always relied more on Nurhachi's invincible prestige to deter all parties.

In other words, Nurhachi has always relied on a series of tactical victories to make up for the disadvantage of Houjin's strategy.

Ning Yuan failed to go down in one go, and Houjin's strategic disadvantages were immediately fully revealed.

Houjin now simply does not have the capital to fight a long-term anxious war with either side.

Once there is a scorching battle in front and the war drags on a little longer, then the rear of Houjin will immediately be at risk of collapse.

Just like when Ningyuan fought in the First World War, Ningyuan couldn't attack the city, and Mongolia, Mao Wenlong, and Shen Yourong disturbed the rear of Houjin again, and Houjin immediately showed a cramped situation.

If Nurhachi hadn't quickly returned his troops and smashed the Mongol Khalkha Department with a thunderous blow, then Houjin would have been in big trouble.

Now that Nurhachi is dead, Houjin's deterrence of the surrounding parties has temporarily disappeared.

Huang Taiji knew that with his prestige, he could not replace Nurhachi at all, and he would re-deter the surrounding parties.

The current Houjin can't even gather all his strength to attack any of the surrounding parties.

In this way, Houjin's strategic disadvantages have been magnified to the extreme.

Whoever Houjin attacks now may be constrained from other directions. And once Houjin wants to fight a confrontation with his opponent, then Houjin will be in a catastrophe.

In Huang Taiji's calculations, the possibility of Hou Jin, who could not gather all his strength, and the possibility of a confrontation and anxious battle with his opponent was too great.

In addition to the war, the food shortage that Houjin is now encountering, Huang Taiji feels that it also has a lot to do with this chain on the periphery.

After careful calculation, it was not because Houjin was far away from attacking Ning and failed to loot enough materials on a large scale that it triggered a series of passive responses by Nurhachi later.

If Nurhachi hadn't been forced to use troops three times in a row, the food shortage in Houjin would not have come so early and so ferociously.

Huang Taiji believes that if he can't completely break this chain on the periphery of Houjin, in the long run, Houjin will let this chain slowly hang in Liaodong sooner or later.

How do you break this chain?

Huang Taiji was so sad that he couldn't sleep well all night.

After months of repeated calculations, Huang Taiji finally discovered that the key to the breakthrough of Houjin was in the seemingly inconspicuous Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, Daming Dynasty, is like a flea on Hou Jin's body, biting Hou Jin from time to time, which makes Hou Jin extremely uncomfortable.

The damage caused by Mao Wenlong's ministry to Houjin is not great, but with Mao Wenlong's presence, all of Houjin's strategic intentions can be easily detected by the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji, who has dealt with Mao Wenlong several times, still has a headache for Mao Wenlong's sensitive sense of smell.

No matter when, as long as the main force of the Houjin Eight Banners moves, Mao Wenlong, who has a keen sense of smell, will come to make trouble.

And as soon as Mao Wenlong started to make trouble in the hinterland of Houjin, it would cause all parties around him to stretch out their hands to Houjin.

From this point of view, Mao Wenlong is the most critical link in the entire chain around Houjin.

Huang Taiji believed that as long as he cut off Mao Wenlong's ring, the chain that surrounded Houjin, his reaction would become much sluggish, so that Houjin could gain room to move.

Whether it is for Dajin or to sit firmly on the supreme sweat position, he must first defeat Mao Wenlong.

This is the determination that Huang Taiji has already made.

Hitting Mao Wenlong first is the first step in Huang Taiji's strategic planning for Houjin.

If you want to fight Mao Wenlong, it is very important to stabilize Ning Yuan first.

If you can't stabilize Ningyuan in advance, as soon as Mao Wenlong is attacked, the Ming army will also start attacking Houjin from the direction of Ningyuan; After that, Jin Bu still fell into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on his back again.

In Houjin's current situation, even if Huang Taiji can successfully defeat Ning Yuanming's army, the price paid by Houjin will at least make Houjin unable to raise troops again in the next few years.

In this way, Huang Taiji's plan to break the chains will become a picture cake.

"Mr. Fan, as long as we can keep Ning Yuanming's army from attacking us, we can temporarily promise them whatever they want."

After thinking about the whole plan in his heart, Huang Taiji frowned and raised the conditions for Ning Yuan by a large margin.

"Your Majesty, don't worry."

Seeing that Huang Taiji frowned, Fan Wencheng showed a confident smile on his face.

Huang Taiji's plan, Fan Wencheng, who participated in it, only knew very well.

Fan Wencheng is very aware of the importance of stabilizing Ning Yuan's Ming army. But with Fan Wencheng's understanding of the Ming army, he has absolute confidence in stabilizing Ning Yuan.

promised to go to Ningyuan, Fan Wencheng didn't think about his safety at all.

"Your Majesty, since you have decided to ignore the Ming army's construction of Jinzhou, the minister will go to Ningyuan to talk to the ancestral family about purchasing grain.

As long as the minister can reach an agreement with the ancestral family to purchase grain, His Majesty only needs to make an internal discord and let the Ming army build a city in Jinzhou;

Chen believes that as long as there are these things, Ning Yuanming's army will never take the initiative to attack us. Fan Wencheng said with great confidence.

Influenced by Fan Wencheng's self-confidence, Huang Taiji finally showed a smile on his face.

"Okay, as long as Mr. is so sure, then no matter how much money is needed, we will buy the food of the ancestral family."
