708 The Mind of the People
"Huh?" Huang Taiji listened, but still waited patiently for the answer, but just hummed.
But Haoge was impatient, and after Huang Taiji responded, he urged loudly: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, you can ...... quickly."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Huang Taiji's cold eyes swept over, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
When Fan Wencheng heard this, he hurriedly quickened his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the minions think that you can drive those Han slaves in front first, and let them cover my Qing siege." When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he would inevitably hesitate. He is a civil official, not a martial artist, if he orders to kill those Han slaves, it will be transmitted back to the Ming Kingdom, and he will inevitably be attacked by the imperial historians of the Ming Kingdom. Even if he can return to the Ming Kingdom alive in the future, this matter will be a stain on him, and he can't be promoted again. Even in the future history books, it will be recorded! ”
When Huang Taiji heard this, he couldn't help but smile, but before he could speak, he heard Fan Wencheng immediately add: "Since the last time Lu Xiangsheng raided my Great Qing Dynasty, the slave has only understood, and he seems to boast of caring for the people. As soon as this plan came out, these reasons made him must be embarrassed! ”
"If he thinks of saving those Han slaves into the city, there is my Qing Dynasty inside, which is also beneficial for the siege of the city. Even if it's just in case...... Lu Xiangsheng was determined to defend the city, and if he really ordered to shoot those Han slaves, he would drag the corpses back when the time came, saying that he would bury them, but when he turned around, he quietly made adult meat buns, and few people knew about it, and it was also good for the reputation of my Qing Dynasty......"
Hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but praise loudly: "Good, good, Fan Qing's strategy is very good, very good!" ”
Fan Wencheng's strategy, starting from the hearts of the people, is very much in line with his appetite. Now it's not what it used to be, he's more cheeky.
I saw that after Huang Taiji finished praising it, he turned his head to look at Hao Ge, and said in a reprimanding tone: "Look at Fan Qing's plan, he is a hundred times smarter than yours!" Remember, you are the crown prince, you must pay attention to your virtue in the future, don't be full of thinking about the kind of fighting and killing in the past, do you understand? ”
"Understood...... Got it! Hauge was reprimanded by Huang Taiji, lowered his head and replied. But no one saw it, and there was annoyance in his eyes.
Fan Wencheng listened, and hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "The minion's strategy is also based on the prince's thinking, if the prince doesn't offer a strategy first, the slave can't think of it." Therefore, the slave thinks that if it can be done, the prince will be the first credit! ”
Huang Taiji listened, shook his hand and said with a smile: "Fan Qing doesn't need to shirk, I know it in my heart!" ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at the others and saw that they had nothing else to add, so he ordered: "Fan Qing, then you will be responsible for the specific operation of this matter." Han Nu chooses the above, but he can pick some old and weak women and children, who don't know each other......"
As for the matter of driving the Han people to attack the city, they had done a lot before, so they also had experience, so they specially reminded Fan Wencheng.
In fact, Fan Wencheng has been in the Jianyu Army for a long time, and he came up with this strategy, so how can he not know to do it. However, Huang Taiji explained, and he nodded respectfully, showing a teachable appearance.
The pre-imperial meeting was dispersed like this, and those who should be prepared went to prepare, but when Haoge returned to the prince's mansion, he was angry, and without Huang Taiji watching, he shouted and scolded Fan Wencheng again.
When Qian Fugui heard about it, he was first overjoyed that Jinzhou was defended, and then he was shocked by Fan Wencheng's conspiracy. He hurriedly told Emperor Chongzhen the news through the chat group.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was also taken aback. Once again, he really realized that the traitor is terrible! For the grasp of people's hearts, the Han people are indeed stronger than Jianyu!
So, he immediately contacted Wei Mulan and told Lu Xiangsheng about it, so that he could take precautions and think of a way to solve it!
After waiting for a day, he didn't see any feedback from Lu Xiangsheng, so he knew that Lu Xiangsheng was in a difficult situation, and there should be no good way.
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little worried, as Fan Wencheng expected, this matter could not be discussed publicly, and a joint meeting could not be held. Because if you discuss it openly, there will be only one result, you can't kill the Han people!
As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't give an order for Lu Xiangsheng to kill. The emperor is not governed by the law, but he is subject to morality. I don't care, of course the emperor can have these black hearts, but as long as the emperor has these labels, he will not have a good reputation, and he will not be supported by the people, and he will not be able to manage his courtiers.
After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen decided to launch the Battle of Gaizhou in advance, so that Jianyu could not concentrate on dealing with Jinzhou. Moreover, Gaizhou is garrisoned by Cao Bianjiao, so he does not have as many scruples as Lu Xiangsheng.
Once the Battle of Gaizhou is launched, it is equivalent to sprinkling a handful of salt on the scar of Jianyu's lack of food, and making Huang Taiji suffer, he can't, he can't eat people on a large scale unscrupulously, right? And in one winter, where can so many people eat!
Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen first informed Wei Mulan of this matter, and then contacted Gao Yingyuan and ordered the launch of the Gaizhou Campaign.
On Lianyun Island, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this will. He has always been a little worried, when he woke up one day, the weather suddenly became very cold, the sea froze, and the battle of Gaizhou was in vain.
Therefore, after he received the will, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned the generals, including Zheng Zhilong and Li Zhiqi, the commanders of the two naval divisions, to discuss the landing operation.
And the Jianju of Gaizhou knew nothing about the coming war. For them, Gaizhou is not the front line at the moment, so the city defense is not very strict. However, in this cold winter, there are no pedestrians, and the inspection is very easy.
After nightfall, it was only routinely arranged for the night watch. Even the number of people on night duty is less than in previous years, for no other reason, Gaizhou also has to save food, and night duty is to consume food!
The semi-circular moon, under the night, is hazy, and it is not very far to see. At the head of Gaizhou City, the soldiers on duty also shrank against the wall to avoid the wind, huddled together as much as possible to avoid the fierce cold wind.
Late at night, an elite Ming army in ambush outside the city, according to what was observed during the day, selected a city wall and quietly touched it.
Stealing a city at night has been one of the means of siege since ancient times, but it must be taken by surprise to attack it unprepared. If the garrison is on guard first, it will be difficult to work, and the situation in Gaizhou at this time is naturally suitable for stealing the city.
This elite Ming army hooked up to the city, and when it reached the vicinity of the city gate, it was discovered by the Jianyu soldiers, but these soldiers on duty could not be the elite of Jianlu, and they were not the opponents of the Ming army who stole the city at all, but they captured the city gate under the strong attack. The army that had been waiting outside the city for a long time swarmed in like a tidal wave, scattered to control the city gates, occupied the main points of the streets, and attacked the official offices.
The shouting of killing woke up many people, but it also stunned many people. The Battle of Gaizhou has officially begun!
