Huang Taiji, the eighth son of Nurhachi, the second Great Khan of the Later Jin, and also the Great Khan of Mongolia and the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

This series of titles was not given to him by others, but he earned it through his own efforts.

Huang Taiji was born with clear eyebrows, steady movements, and dignified manners.

He was clever and clever, he heard what he heard, he knew it at first sight, he loved to read and learn, and he was the only one who could read and write among Nurhachi's generals.

At the age of seven, he began to preside over the household, managing the daily affairs of the family, money and expenditure in an orderly manner, and Nurhachi regarded him as a treasure.

This resume gives people the feeling that he seems to be a traverser like Zhang Bin, but Zhang Bin only crossed when he was in his twenties, and he seems to have crossed over at the age of two or three!

Whether he was a time-traveler or not, his path to the Great Khan was destined to be very difficult, because he was only the eighth son of Nurhachi, and there were seven older brothers, and his mother Mengu Zhezhe was not a concubine, Nurhachi's concubine was originally Mang Gurtai's mother, Fucha Gundai, and after Fucha's death, the concubine was succeeded by Azig, Dolgon, and Abahai, the mother of Duoduo.

Even more unfortunate, when Huang Taiji was twelve years old, his mother Meng Gu Zhezhe died.

What should I do if I don't have my mother's support and I'm not the eldest son?

Huang Taiji's road to power is very magical.

Nurhachi wanted to set up his eldest son Chu Ying as the prince at first, but Huang Taiji didn't know how to sue Chu Ying, Nurhachi immediately put Chu Ying under house arrest, and after two years, Nurhachi executed Chu Ying!

At this time, it is not his turn, it stands to reason that after Nurhachi's death, the most powerful will be the eldest concubine Abahai, and Abahai's three sons Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo are all likely to inherit the throne, what should I do?

Huang Taiji is another miraculous operation, and the eldest concubine Abahai was forced to be buried by everyone!

However, at this time, it was still not his turn, and the highest voice was Mang Gurtai, the son of the first concubine Fucha Clan, what should I do?

Huang Taiji was another miraculous operation, and the Great Bel Daishan, his eldest son Yue Tuo, and his third son Sakhalian actually desperately recommended him to inherit the throne.

In this way, he became the second Great Khan of Houjin!

At this time, Da Ming was not familiar with this Houjin Great Khan, and most people only knew that his name was Huang Taiji, and they didn't know that he was so magical.

However, Zhang Bin knew that the opponent of Huang Taiji was so magical, it was just like a traverser, demonic magic.

How to deal with such a demonic opponent?

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won all battles, Zhang Bin began to analyze the situation of both the enemy and us.

First of all, you have to know yourself, what is the Ming Dynasty doing from the first year of Chongzhen to the second year of Chongzhen?

Emperor Chongzhen is busy cleaning up the eunuchs, no way, at this time, almost all the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty are eunuchs, if he doesn't clean up the people, it is very likely that people will learn from Gonggong Wei and set him up.

Chongzhen can't count on it at this moment, he's busy, really busy.

Look at Liaodong again, what are the Liaodong soldiers busy with?

The soldiers of Liaodong were busy mutiny, or begging for wages, there was no way, there was no food, no strength to fight, no money to earn, and their families had no food.

Ningyuan mutiny, Jizhou mutiny, the urging of the salary was handed up like snowflakes, and Chongzhen hurriedly levied the Liao salary, the food and salary finally fell, but it has not yet arrived, and we have to wait for the Liao salary to come down, everyone is full, and then we have the strength to fight.

The Liaodong soldiers don't seem to be able to count on it at this time, they can't eat enough, how can you let them fight with Huang Taiji.

As for Yuan Chonghuan, he seems to be very busy at this time, busy treating all kinds of dissatisfaction, whoever refuses to accept it is a knife, but it is not a scalpel, but a ghost head knife!

Maybe he wants to learn from Sun Chengzong, let everyone unite as one, the fortress advances, push him four hundred miles a year, five years is two thousand miles, Liaodong seems to be less than two thousand miles wide, and five years Pingliao does not seem to be a myth.

However, it doesn't seem realistic to expect him at this time, because all kinds of disobedience have not been treated, and he has not yet pushed the idea.

After analyzing for a long time, Daming's side, from top to bottom, it seems that he can't count on it, Zhang Bin feels that at this time, he can only rely on himself!

Analyze the opponent again, what is Huang Taiji doing at this time?

As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he immediately sent a large army to sweep through the north of Korea, sweeping away Mao Wenlong's tuntian on the shore, and 100,000 Dongjiang soldiers and civilians were driven to the isolated island by him, mourning all over the wilderness, starving all over the ground, temporarily losing the threat to his rear.

Immediately afterwards, he personally led the army to the Guanning Jin defense line to test a wave, and as a result, he found that under the Jiancheng artillery, the Houjin Iron Cavalry was completely useless, and his father Nurhachi could not move the Guanning Jin defense line, and he also couldn't move.

The Guanningjin defense line can't be defeated, let alone the first pass in the world, Shanhaiguan, it seems that this road is not passable, and if you want to kill Daming, you have to find another way.

Since the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji did not go to the Guanningjin defense line to eat deflated, he turned his attention to the Mongolian steppe, to attack the Ming Dynasty, not only to break through the Guanningjin defense line, to take the Shanhaiguan Road, from the Mongolian grassland bypass is the same.

The three major tribes of Mengyuan and Yuan, the Chahar Division, the Tumut Division, the Horqin Division, and the Tumut Division, were too far away for him to reach, so he began to conquer the Chahar and Horqin Tribes.

The two major tribes were beaten by him, especially the Chahar Department, were afraid of him, several wars, captured tens of thousands of people, and robbed countless cattle, sheep and horses, and finally, the Chahar Department finally succumbed, accepted the rule of Huang Taiji, divided into Chahar Eight Banners, and waited for Huang Taiji's dispatch.

In addition, the Horqin Division, as well as the Karaqin, Ao Han, Naiman and Khalkha tribes, were all subdued by Huang Taiji, and agreed to follow the Houjin campaign, and the troops and horses were at the disposal of Huang Taiji.

At this time, Da Ming still had a wrong perception of Houjin, thinking that Houjin had less than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Because of the structure and clarity of the Houjin Eight Banners, it is the three levels of Niulu, Jiala, and Gushan, and there is a Jiala on the top of the five Niulu, and a solid mountain on the top of the five Jiala, and the Gushan is actually the same level as the flag owner, but the Gushan is only responsible for fighting, and the flag master is in charge of everything.

One Niu Lu only has 300 standing soldiers, that is to say, the total number of Houjin Eight Banners is only 60,000 horses!

In fact, when Houjin was fighting at this time, not only the Eight Banners Army, but also the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, the Mengyuan Tribes, and even their slaves and servants, the number far exceeded that of the Eight Banners Army, so every time they fought a war, they were more than 100,000 or even more than 200,000, but many ministers and even generals of the Ming Dynasty thought that they only had a total of 60,000!

At this time, Huang Taiji's strategy was obvious, that is, to make a detour to Chahar, penetrate Jizhou Town, and go straight to the capital of Daming.

However, Zhang Bin couldn't run to Chongzhen and tell Chongzhen that Huang Taiji was going to fight from Jizhou Town, because he wasn't sure when Huang Taiji would fight.

Chongzhen is an impatient, if he listens to you and mobilizes the army to Jizhou Town, as a result, Huang Taiji has not come after waiting for a few months, or if Huang Taiji sees the army gathered in Jizhou Town, he will go to other places to pay attention, then he will be finished.

Don't you want money to mobilize an army, what Chongzhen lacks at this time is money, if you dare to let him waste hundreds of thousands of taels, or even millions of taels to mobilize an army to work in Jizhou Town, it is estimated that Yuan Chonghuan is his own example!

Zhang Bin thought about it, only to govern his body in the way of others, Huang Taiji, you go to attack the capital, I will sneak attack Liaodong, not to kill all the people you left behind, but also to rob all the civilians in Liaodong, and then see who gets cheap and who suffers!

After setting a strategy, Zhang Bin began to formulate specific tactics.

As soon as he analyzed the strength of both the enemy and us, he was very embarrassed, and he found that he had no soldiers in his hands.

Now, Zhang Bin's subordinates can go into battle only 10,000 elite Qi family troops, and Dongfan Jiuwei has only received 100,000 Liaodong civilians at this time, and less than 20,000 soldiers have been selected from these 100,000 civilians, and they are still training, and their weapons and equipment are not matched, so they can't be dragged to fight at all.

The elite of the 10,000 Qi family army can't be pulled to Liaodong, if he pulls the main force to Liaodong instead of going to the capital, even if he wins a big victory, Chongzhen probably won't be happy.

Everyone has come to the capital, you go to Liaodong, what do you mean, do you want to die, what's the use of tossing in Liaodong, the main force of the emperor Taiji is in the capital!

Therefore, he must lead the Qi family army to the capital to Qinwang, as for Liaodong, does it completely depend on Mao Wenlong?

Zhang Bin quickly rejected this idea, Mao Wenlong is powerful, but most of his subordinates are refugees, there is a serious lack of training, there are many, even the recruits under his own command are not as good, it is definitely not possible to rely on him completely, and he must also select some elites to assist.

At this time, Zhang Bin remembered Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, these two are fierce generals who can't be fiercer, if they let them lead the elite to Liaodong to sneak attack, they will definitely be able to make the Houjin people turn their backs.

That's it! Zhang Bin looked at the map of Liaodong and began to think about specific tactics.

However, looking at it, he felt that something was wrong, this was a map of Liaodong before the Apocalypse Dynasty, and now Liaodong was made into by Houjin, and I don't know what Liaodong has become like by Houjin.

Zhang Bin thought about it, put away the map, wrote a letter, and asked him to go to Phi Island a little bit and hand it to Mao Wenlong.

On this day, in the hinterland of Liaodong, between Shenyang and Liaoyang, a team of Zhushen was standing upright on both sides of the gate on duty, and a sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.

The captain of the Zhushen squad immediately showed a look of vigilance, and after a little thought, he ordered, raising two horse forks to block the road.

His subordinates Zhu Shen got the order, and hurriedly ran to the side and raised two horse forks to block the road in front of the fort gate.

Soon, more than ten black dots appeared in everyone's sight, and Na Zhushen pulled out his saber with a solemn expression, and said coldly: "Raise your gun and stab the horse." ”

His subordinate Zhu Shen ordered him to quickly run to the back of the horse fork and lined up, pointed the spear in his hand obliquely forward, and waited nervously.

After a while, more than ten horsemen appeared on the road in front of the fort gate, and the speed became slower and slower, and when they were less than a hundred steps away from the fort gate, the ten horsemen reined in the war horses at the same time, and one of them asked loudly in Jurchen language: "What do you mean?" ”

The captain of the Zhushen squad said coldly: "What do you mean, don't you know that the Great Khan gave an order, the flag soldiers gathered to go out to do business, and if they want to enter the Niulu and Jiala stations along the way, they must be notified in advance, we have not received any notice that someone is coming over today, who are you, what are you running over?" ”

This is Huang Taiji's order, Mao Wenlong is afraid of stealing people, this guy, not only stealing people but also killing, what poisoning, assassination and other indiscriminate means are made out, every time they steal people, they choose the local Niu Lu to lead most of the Zhushen to go out, and the people left behind will basically be killed by them!

According to the surviving Zhu Shen's description, these people all disguised themselves as flag soldiers and directly broke into various Niulu stations, killing all Zhu Shen and then stealing people.

Therefore, Huang Taiji ordered that all flag soldiers should notify Niu Lu and Jia La along the road in advance before going out to do business, and if they run over directly without notice, they should be careful, it is very likely that Mao Wenlong sent them to steal people!

For this reason, Huang Taiji also specially sent several elite cavalry to garrison on various traffic arteries, once it was found that Mao Wenlong sent a team to steal people, he immediately went to stop the killing, and the elite under Mao Wenlong was killed hundreds of people in this way.

However, this time this group of flag soldiers didn't seem to have the intention of entering Weining Fort, and the leading knight laughed and said: "You don't think that we are Mao Wenlong's subordinates, we are the guards under the command of Beile Yuetuo with the red flag, we went to Liaoyang to do business, and we accidentally took the wrong road, what kind of place are you?" ”

Dai Shan, the master of the Red Flag Banner, is the most gentle elder in the Eight Banners, and his popularity is the best in the Eight Banners, and Belle Yuetuo is the eldest son of Dai Shan, and when the Captain of the Zhushen Squad heard this, his face immediately softened, and he arched his hand and said: "We are the residence of Lord Jiala Linbao of the Zhenglan Banner, Weining Fort, I'm sorry, where the duty lies, I can't let you in." ”

The leading knight smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, by the way, how to go in Liaoyang, we're all a little lost." ”

The captain of the Zhushen squad enthusiastically pointed out: "You run west from the road in front, and in about a quarter of an hour, you will see a big river, that is, the Taizi River, and you will run more than a hundred miles southwest along the Taizi River to Liaoyang." ”

The leading knight arched his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you, farewell." ”

With that, he waved his hand, turned his horse's head, and ran west with more than ten horses.

The captain of the Zhushen squad sighed, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not Mao Wenlong's person." ”

Actually, he was wrong, these people were sent by Mao Wenlong, but they didn't come to steal people, but to inquire about the situation.

After the cavalry ran for more than ten miles, they stopped again, and the leading knight took out a map and looked at it carefully, and then took out a fine charcoal pen and marked it on the map: "Weining Fort, the garrison of the Blue Banner Jiala Linbao, is about three miles in radius, and the height of the city is about one and a half zhang. ”

After writing, he put away the map again, beat the horse and went all the way to the southeast, Liaoyang and other cities are not his responsibility, naturally there are other people to go, he only needs to explore the Eight Banners Niulu and Jiala stations within two hundred miles northeast of Liaoyang.

Huang Taiji didn't expect Mao Wenlong to change his strategy again, no longer stealing people, but sending rangers to spy everywhere, so Mao Wenlong's elite did not encounter resistance, and the situation in the entire Liaodong slowly converged to Phi Dao, and the Liaodong situation map that Zhang Bin needed slowly took shape in Mao Wenlong's hands.

Huang Taiji didn't know that his lair had been penetrated, and when he led the army to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong would have a good show.
