Wen Tiren's contact with the Manchu Qing Dynasty was carried out through a special channel, and it was through this channel that Huang Taiji sent four letters to Chongzhen to make peace.

After Huang Taiji received the letter from Wen Tiren, he said that he did not believe in anything, which he understood as a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to lure him to send troops to go deep alone.

But then the information sent back from the Ming Kingdom shocked him, and the Tiance army turned against the Ming court and fought hard, and the 100,000 troops of the court fell to the city.

Once this information and Wen Tiren's letter were confirmed, they became credible. The losses brought by the Tiance Army to the Qing Dynasty were too great, and Wang Yue simply became his mortal enemy, so the intelligence work against the Tiance Army and the starting point city never relaxed.

Huang Taiji attaches great importance to this matter, and since the Tiance Army is against the Ming court, maybe the Qing Dynasty really has a chance. Therefore, a large number of spies were sent to the Ming Jing Division to understand the development of the situation.

The starting point city made peace with the Ming court, several ministers and Jinyi guards involved were taken down, Wang Yue was promoted, and the news that he had gone south to the governor Ying Tian and so on came back one after another.

In the follow-up letter, Wen Tiren explained to appease Wang Yue, but in fact, Wen Tiren didn't need to explain, because Huang Taiji himself was the emperor. For example, Wang Yue, a force that had offended himself and had the ability to threaten the safety of the imperial power, any emperor wanted to uproot it, so he finally believed in Chongzhen's sincerity.

But if you organize people to enter the Ming Dynasty, will you be able to solve Wang Yue and defeat the Tiance army? Judging from the several battles with the Tiance Army, the hope is too slim.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how did you discuss your proposal to the Ming Imperial Court? Let's talk about it. ”

In the Chongzheng Hall of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, Huang Taiji, who was on the dragon chair, asked. This kind of discussion has been carried out many times, but the opinions of the princes and ministers have never been unanimous, and they have not been able to make up their minds.

Dai Shan, the eldest prince of Belle, who was old and respectful, still insisted on his own point of view and said: "The minister thinks that this discussion is impossible!" Although Wang Yue is a hidden danger of the Ming Kingdom, my Qing Dynasty is the mortal enemy of the Ming Kingdom, and I have to prevent the Ming Kingdom from rebelling and plotting the possibility of my Qing Dynasty warriors. ”

Duoduo was the most radical in this discussion, and he retorted: "Prince Li, we have all seen the combat power of the Tiance Army. If we don't take advantage of such a good opportunity now, can we let it grow bigger, and wait until the day when the army will invade our Qing Dynasty? ”

It was indeed a dilemma, and both men had a point, and even the cunning Dolgon was embarrassed.

The dispute between the two made it difficult for Fan Wencheng and other Hanchen to intervene, mainly because they were afraid of taking responsibility.

But Huang Taiji didn't plan to let them go, these princes have been arguing for many days, and there is no result yet, but the Hanchen have not expressed their opinions, how can this be done?

Huang Taiji said: "Fan Aiqing, tell me, which point of view do you agree with?" ”

"Ugh!" Fan Wencheng had no choice but to go out and say: "From the perspective of the ministers, the more Wang Yue is extremely hostile to my Qing Dynasty, and one day he will be unfavorable to my Qing Dynasty." Therefore, the minister felt that sending troops might be the best policy. ”

"Oh." Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Fan Aiqing is in favor of sending troops, what about Ning Aiqing?" ”

After Ning Wan, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Seeing that these Hanchens also supported their opinions, although Duoduo had always looked down on Hanchen, he now felt that they were much more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, Huang Taiji also agreed to send troops, Wang Yue's hostility to the Manchu Qing made him feel a huge threat, and the combat power of the Tiance army also frightened him, but how to send troops?

Huang Taiji said: "Prince Yu, what Prince Li said just now, you also heard it, how can you defeat the enemy with one blow, and my Qing warriors can retreat with their whole body?" ”

Duoduo also saw that Huang Taiji supported the dispatch of troops, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "According to the news obtained by the spies, Wang Yue's main force has gone south or to Shandong, and now there are only more than 2,000 people in the starting point city, and about 12,000 people in the regiment. Therefore, the younger brother thought that at this time, I should do all the troops of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu, Mongolia and Han, and sweep the starting point city in one fell swoop with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "The Ming Kingdom wants to use my Great Qing Dynasty to clear hidden dangers, and my Great Qing Dynasty is also using it. After taking the starting point city, our army can also take the Jingshi by the way, and the wealth and population of these two places will belong to our Qing Dynasty, and maybe make up for the losses caused by the previous battles with the Tiance army. ”

As soon as his words fell, Dolgon denied without hesitation: "This is not a good strategy! The people on whom the Tiance army relied were firearms. No matter how many troops there are, it is difficult to exert one, my Qing Dynasty and the Tiance Army have fought many times, which time is not more than ten times the number of troops of the Tiance Army, or even dozens of times? So even if you want to send troops, you should be cautious! Moreover, if I do our best to conquer the country, the Ming Kingdom will inevitably be on guard because of fear, and it will be self-defeating if it is not good! ”

Huang Taiji nodded again and again when he heard this, Duoduo is still too young to think about it.

"Then in Prince Rui's opinion, if you send troops to the Ming Kingdom, what should you do?" Huang Taiji asked.

Dolgon thought for a moment and said, "If you send troops to the Ming Kingdom, the courtiers think that the number of troops should be capped at 20,000, which will not cause panic in the Ming court, and also reduce the impact. With the cooperation of the Ming court, our army is very hopeful that it will appear under the starting point city unconsciously. ”

"As my brother said just now, the one on whom the Tiance army relies is firearms! If you want to defeat the Tiance army, the most effective way is to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son. According to the spies, the warehouse where the Tiance Army stores weapons and ammunition is in the starting point city, although the exact location cannot be obtained, but the scope is already very small. ”

"The starting point city is not big, the military camp in the northeast corner of the city should be the place where weapons and ammunition are stored, if you can get these weapons and ammunition, you will have the opportunity to occupy the gate of the starting point city, and my 20,000 troops will pour in, and the starting point city will definitely fall into my hands!"

Huang Taiji and the others' eyes lit up when they listened, and the scene depicted by Dorgon was too tempting.

"Prince Rui continued, how can these weapons be captured? You know, this starting point city is not easy to attack, and Abatai has suffered a big loss here. Huang Taiji asked.

Dolgon's eyes turned cold and said, "The strength of the Tiance Army near the starting point city is only more than 2,000 people, but if you have to defend the starting point city and Shijingshan, then the troops in the starting point city military camp must not be much. ”

"I selected 800 people who dared to die in the Qing Dynasty and brought gunpowder, fire oil and other flammable materials into the city. Some of them set fire to the city and create chaos to attract the enemies in the barracks, while others desperately broke into those warehouses, seized firearms and ammunition, and then occupied the city gates, and let our army enter the city, and the starting point city will be destroyed! ”

After saying that, Dorgon clenched his fist fiercely, and his eyes showed a fierce light, as if he had seen the scene of the slaughter of the starting city.
