224 Discussion of the government
"Aiqing, do you think they are likely to be used by my Qing Dynasty?"
Huang Taiji pondered for a long time, and finally burst out with such words.
He was very fond of the firearms tactics displayed by the other party, as well as the powerful firearms in their hands, especially the easy-to-carry and powerful artillery technology, which made him salivate.
The biggest flaw in the Qing Dynasty is the simplicity of their siege tactics, originally their Jurchen population was not much, and most of them were cavalry, even if it was not easy to attract the Mongolian people on the Mongolian steppe to come in, but in the face of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest of the high cities, they always had a feeling that it was difficult to swallow.
In these years, every year in autumn and winter, Huang Taiji will organize the Qing Dynasty soldiers to go south to plunder, in addition to preparing winter materials for various tribes, how can it not be hoped that by coercing the people of the Ming Dynasty frontier to come, they will become useful human resources for their own side.
But even so, up to now, the total population of their Qing Dynasty and the Han slaves they brought with them is only four or five million people.
On the other hand, the powerful Ming Dynasty, the population of a Ming Dynasty is hundreds of thousands, and I heard that the population of Suzhou, Hangzhou and other cities in the south of the Yangtze River is also hundreds of thousands, so you can imagine how deep the Ming Dynasty is.
For this reason, Huang Taiji is now actively contacting the peasant rebels who rose up in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to make the peasant rebels in the Ming Dynasty who rose one after another in the Ming Dynasty use them for their own use through means such as bribery, Zhao'an or sealing officials and Dai Jue.
However, until now, none of the secret envoys sent by Huang Taiji have returned, and Huang Taiji has no way of knowing what the attitude of the peasant army will be towards her bribery policy.
"This ............" Fan Wencheng was a little difficult, but as a strategist, he finally said his thoughts, only for Huang Taiji's reference: "Weichen feels that the opportunity is slim, the other party's base camp is on Nanyang Dayuan Island, it is said that the development is very good, and now the maritime trade is frequent and rich, and I am afraid that it is a joke to buy them with money, and I am not afraid that His Majesty will blame me, I am afraid that I will pour the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, and it will not be the wealth of the overlord of the enemy's side." ”
"As for the official bribery, the chance is also slim, the Hongmen established by Li Tianyang, the commander of the Fujian Navy Division, is said to have been thriving until now, and unreliable sources have revealed that the actual strength of the other party's naval division has even exceeded 30,000 people, if he is willing, his official promotion will definitely not stop at the naval commander."
"Unreliable news?"
Huang Taiji looked sideways.
"............" Fan Wencheng was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly replied: "Actually, it is Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, the two generals recommended by Weichen to attack Jianghua Island. ”
"Oh?"
"Geng, Kong Er General was originally the general of the sailor under Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, and they are far more familiar with the things in the Daming Sea than us.
"Go on."
"They also said that there was a rumor in the Ming court, when Emperor Chongzhen was still in the palace of King Xin, Li Tianyang had bet on him, for his eunuchs and the court had many actions, but also contributed a lot of money to fund King Xin, that is, Emperor Chongzhen later, so when Emperor Chongzhen punished the eunuch faction, Li Tianyang not only did not suffer because of this, but also won Emperor Chongzhen's posthumous title for his family."
"According to Emperor Chongzhen's suspicious and selfish temperament, if it weren't for Li Tianyang's son, he would have already been in a relationship, otherwise it would have been impossible to pass the test so easily; And in the end, although he was rewarded by the imperial court, he did not share any benefits, but it was also in line with the character of Emperor Chongzhen. ”
"Therefore, according to Weichen's estimate, the rumors in this court may not be somewhat credible."
"It's a pity!"
After Huang Taiji sighed, he suddenly changed the topic, and said in a deep voice in the face of all the important ministers and generals under his command: "Since the enemy has revealed his true body, he is no longer afraid, and now there are more than 10,000 soldiers in Nanhan Mountain City, and there must be a flaw in the city garrison, so the top priority is to break through South Han Mountain City as soon as possible, and my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry must step on this land!" ”
"The ministers will do their best!!"
"Dolgon!!"
"The Last Admiral!!"
"Now that the troops are insufficient, the whereabouts of the Ming Dynasty army behind him are unknown, and you have 5,000 cavalry, I don't want to strangle them, but I beg the other party not to give our army to break through the Nanhan Mountain City and make trouble!"
"Chirp!!"
"Amin!!"
"The Last Admiral!!"
"With your 30,000 Han soldiers, you are limited to take Hanshan City within two days!!"
"Chirp!!"
"Hauge!!"
"The last general!"
"There are tens of thousands of reinforcements around North Korea, led by its so-called Marshal Du, with your 10,000 Han troops and 5,000 cavalry troops, you must intercept them, and they must not be allowed to reinforce Hanshan City!!"
"Princes and fight, I am here to prepare the wine of triumph for you!!"
"Swear allegiance to Your Majesty, long live long live!!"
The army of the Qing Dynasty had to be chaotic this time, because of the butterfly that crossed over by Hongmen Li Tianyang, the original history was already unremarkable, and after delaying such a wine, it finally launched the final blow to the Korean kingdom Namhansan Fortress today.
Even now, the peace talks that should have been brokered by Choi Ming-gil, the North Korean official in history, have been categorically rejected by Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji knew very well that with the setback of their offensive on the Korean Peninsula, all their previous plans had been disrupted.
In the past, Huang Taiji only needed a vassal state that was subordinate to his subordinates and stayed in the southeast with good rules, but with the loss of his own troops and the depletion of grain and grass, they had to treat the Korean kingdom as a plundering target, not only coveting the other party's grain and grass materials, but also coercing the other party's huge population to go back to make up for their losses.
A prince and a small country lord who has angered the king's holy might, his invitation and peace may have been hope for Huang Taiji before, but now Huang Taiji needs to use him as a chicken to set an example for monkeys!
Anyway, there are a lot of children of the Joseon royal family, and it is a big deal to raise an obedient Korean king from the Qing Dynasty after slaughtering this unknown Injo, which is just a gesture for the Qing Dynasty.
As for what kind of turbulent waves the Korean Kingdom will set off in the future, for a neighbor who only needs to have a neighbor around who takes care of himself and does not make trouble for himself, the Qing Dynasty's dispatch of troops this time is not in vain!
For a time, the banners under the city of Hanshan were densely packed, and a momentum of mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, so that the two armies inside and outside the city were in full swing to prepare.
At the same time, Hongtang's fleet was already riding the southwest monsoon and moving swiftly in the direction of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
