Chapter 2 The Jackal Tyranny, Burning the Beacon Smoke

Section 17 Strategies for Attacking Clearly

At the end of December in the forty-fifth year of Wanli (the first year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), on the bank of the Prince River.

The cold wind of early winter blew coldly, piercing the bone marrow like an ice knife, and the Taizi River at this time had formed a thick layer of ice, and the ice surface was covered with snow, and the eyes were covered in silver and snow.

Near noon, smoke lit up in a simple camp by the Taizi River, and more than 1,000 Ming soldiers were resting and eating. These Ming soldiers are fierce and burly, they are all young and strong, and the discipline is very strict, more than 1,000 people have no extra hustle and bustle in the meal, the camp is very quiet, and the soldiers are full of a sense of slaughter. These soldiers don't seem to feel the cold wind like a knife, and they are still in good spirits when they eat in the open air in the cold wind, and they look like elite soldiers in a hundred battles.

Zhao Kaishan was eating, and his voice sounded: "In this ghost weather, the bonfire is almost frozen." ”

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Yes, the weather in Liaodong is abnormally cold. When you get back, you must have a good drink of soju. ”

"Then this meal will be invited by the eldest brother!" Zhao Kaishan hurriedly said.

Wu Xing, who was on the side, also smiled dumbly after hearing this.

More than ten days ago, Liu Yunwei took Zhao Kaishan and Wu Xing to sweep the mountainous and forest areas east of Liaoyang in two ways, and swept away the bandits and cottages within 200 miles east of Liaoyang. This operation was only one of Liu Yunwei's several actions to suppress bandits, and since Yuan Mingxuan brought back the situation of Jiannu, Liu Yunwei began to train troops in battle and send troops to suppress bandits. By this time, there were no bandits within 100 miles of Liaoyang.

"Big brother, our Hanwei Camp has been trained, and the brothers in the camp have seen enough blood during this time." Zhao Kaishan said with a laugh.

"Well, the brothers are in good shape, I don't dare to say more, our Hanwei Battalion is facing the same number of Jiannu, and it will definitely not be a problem to defeat the other party." Wu Xing said.

Liu Yunwei was also happy in his heart, in order to let the trained soldiers see enough blood and train their courage, Liu Yunwei specially ordered before suppressing the bandits that all the bandits would be killed on the spot without leaving any mouth. Many soldiers who had never killed anyone in the past grew rapidly through the suppression of bandits and became fearless soldiers.

After fighting all the way, not only did the soldiers in the battalion train, but Liu Yunwei also seized a very considerable amount of money, food and materials from various bandits, which made everyone very excited.

After lunch, Liu Yunwei ordered to set off, and a team of more than 1,000 people quickly assembled, braved the cold wind, and set off towards Liaoyang with neat steps.

At nightfall, the team returned to the Hanwei camp outside Liaoyang City, settled the affairs in the camp, and Liu Yunwei rushed back to the general military mansion with several family members. I haven't been home for months, and it's time to go home and have a look.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Wanxin reading at night, and Liu Yunwei couldn't help but be very curious.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Wanxin looked up, immediately smiled, and said, "My husband is back, have you seen my grandfather and father?" ”

"I've seen it, I just came back from outside the city and went, what are you writing about?" Liu Yunwei dusted off the snow on his body and asked.

"The husband went to the barracks, and the concubine went back to her parents' house." Xu Wanxin looked at Liu Yunwei playfully and said.

Hearing Xu Wanxin's non-questioning words, Liu Yunwei became even more curious in his heart and asked, "Oh? What the hell is going on? ”

"Now that the threat of Jiannu is becoming more and more severe, the concubine thinks that as the people of the Ming Dynasty, everyone should work together to tide over the difficulties, so the concubine went back to her mother's house and discussed it with her father, and her father came forward to contact the heads of large families and wealthy businessmen in the city, and everyone had the money to contribute and contribute powerfully to donate some grain, grass and weapons to the general military office." After Xu Wanxin finished speaking, she stood there with a smug face, looking at Liu Yunwei with a smile.

Liu Yunwei was overjoyed after hearing this, although he said that he had seized some money and grain, how could he compare it with the financial resources of those wealthy families who had been heirlooms for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, and if he could get the financial help of these big families, the money, food, and armament in the army would be greatly improved.

"The lady is really my lucky star. It seems that I have to treat my lady well. ”

A few days later, Yuan Mingxuan also rushed back to Liaoyang from Beijing, and brought back a handwritten letter from Li Linbin, which stated that Li Linbin had reported the situation of Hetuala's trip, the dynamics of Jiannu, and related inferences to the imperial court, and met with the saint together with Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, and strongly recommended the imperial court to increase troops in Liaodong. According to Li Linbin, Emperor Wanli had already intended to increase his troops, and asked Huang Shangshu to list the Chen, but there was still no clear answer to whether to send Sichuan troops to the Liao court.

Although there was no definite news of the reinforcements of the Sichuan soldiers, Liu Ling and others were still extremely excited, and the imperial court finally began to face up to the problem of Jiannu.

The situation in Liaodong has calmed down over time, but this is only a superficial peace. Whether it is Liaodong Town or Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty, both sides are constantly accumulating strength, but Jiannu's strength is growing much faster.

Time blink of an eye to February of the forty-sixth year of Wanli (the third year of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate), Hetuala.

Nurhachi reviewed the reported notes, and when he saw a note, he suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Okay, okay, God help me Dajin!" ”

"Whoever comes, pass on my message: Dabel Daishan, Second Belle Amin, Third Bel Mang Gurtai, Fourth Belle Huang Taiji, as well as Azig, Fei Yingdong, Eyidu, He Heli, Hu Erhan, An Feiyangu, Yue Tuo, Yang Guli, Leng Geri and other ministers will immediately meet you."

In a short time the people gathered in the temple.

Nurhachi raised a piece of music in his hand and said: "It is reported that since last year, the Yellow River has flooded three times and countless people have been affected in the Ming Kingdom; The locust plagues in Shandong and Shaanxi continued, and there was no harvest of acres of land; Henan's grain harvest was out of danger due to the drought, and the people actually cannibalized each other; The provinces south of the Yangtze River have been raining heavily, the rivers are overflowing, and many people have died; Such natural disasters are continuous, so that the people in all parts of the Ming Kingdom have become innumerable. The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom can be said to be anxious. ”

The Jiannu ministers present were all laughing and extremely excited.

"In the past two years, I, Dajin, have overcome all difficulties, repaired armor, cleared internal affairs, built a real population, accumulated money and grain, and befriended Mongolia, and have the strength to compete with the Ming State for the land of Liaodong." Nurhachi said in a deep voice.

Huang Taiji said: "What Khan Ama said is very true, I have been lying on salary for the past two years, and now I am a soldier with enough food; On the other hand, the Ming army in Liaodong, except for the slight improvement of Liu Ling's department in Liaoyang, the rest of the soldiers and horses are still in that bad state. Now the internal natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Ming Kingdom are continuous, and the hinterland of the Central Plains has shown a trend of civil strife, and the Ming court is already too busy to take care of itself, even if it is to increase the number of troops in Liaodong, it will not be much. What's more, Guannai is thousands of miles away, and far water can't quench the thirst of the near. This is exactly the time when my big gold is in Liaodong! ”

Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji, who was talking, and said secretly in his heart: "These four Baylor's talents are really the best in the country, it seems that they will sum up how to deal with them in the future." ”

Nurhachi nodded and said, "Sibeile said it very well, and I think so too. I will give you a conclusion today, I am determined that I will start a war against the Ming Kingdom within the next year, and today we are going to discuss this strategy for using troops. Speak your mind. ”

Everyone's spirits were shocked, and they said: "Finally waited for this day!" "One after another.

Hu Erhan and An Feiyan Gudu said: "We should borrow troops from Mongolia and pull Mongolia into Dajin's chariot, which can not only cut off the help of the Ming Kingdom, but also increase Dajin's chances of victory." ”

"Well, very good, I have already sent people to contact the Mongolian Horqin and other departments, although I did not make it clear that I would send troops to support my Dajin, but the words are also at the end of the end, and I will not contribute to the Ming Kingdom."

"Your Majesty." The two said.

Dai Shan said: "In this land of Liaodong, in addition to the Ming Kingdom, my Dajin also needs to beware of the Yehe Department. Although this Ye Hebu is in the same Jurchen vein as my Dajin, he has always been close to the Ming Kingdom and is willing to be a lackey of the Ming people, which is really hateful. If I, Dajin, go to war with the Ming Kingdom, Ye He will definitely send troops to support the Ming people. ”

Amin also said: "What Da Belle said is extremely true, but I, Dajin, need to beware of North Korea in addition to Yehe. This Korea is a vassal state of the Ming State and has the obligation to send troops. What's more, North Korea has always regarded Ming Guo as a reborn parent, and Ming Guo will respond with all its might. ”

Nurhachi said: "If we attack Korea first, Ming Kingdom and Yehe will definitely attack me later, and besides, Korea is poor and barbaric, and it is useless to attack it." North Korea has always had a small number of people and weak troops, and it is only right that it should attack in the south first. Look, will my Eight Banners warriors attack Ming Kingdom first, or will they fight Ye He first? ”

Huang Taiji thought for a while and said, "Attack the Ming Kingdom first." ”

"Why? Ye He is weaker than the Ming Kingdom, so it should be the first to attack Ye He, the first easy and then the difficult. Yue Tuo asked.

Huang Taiji sorted out his thoughts and said: "If you attack Ye He first, it is indeed easy first and then difficult, which seems to be logical. However, Ye Hebu has always been attached to the Ming State, and when he sees our army swinging his army, he will definitely ask for help from the Ming State. And after the Ming Kingdom received Ye Hebu's call for help, he would prepare for the battle in advance whether he saved it or not, and when I Dajin used troops against the Ming State again, he would lose the opportunity. On the contrary, if you attack the Ming Kingdom first, you can take it by surprise and take the initiative, and after defeating the Ming people, Ye He will not have to worry. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Nurhachi said: "The words of the four beylers are exactly what I mean. The battle of Liaodong is related to the fortunes of our Dajin country and the life and death of Jianzhou, and the strategy of the first battle is the most important. Attack the Ming Kingdom first, defeat its main force in Liaodong, and then annex Ye He to go to the wings of the Ming Kingdom, then our Dajin Foundation will be established and will be invincible first. This battle is the battle of the founding of my Dajin! You should move forward hand in hand with me and lay a foundation for Daikin for eternity! ”

"Erchen (minion) is willing to fight the world with Khan Ama (Great Khan) and create a foundation for all generations!"
