707 Decision-making (3rd Update)
Huang Taiji was reminded, so he took the fold from the hand of the attendant again and looked at it quickly. After reading it, his fat face was very ugly.
In the middle of the recital, Yue Tuo first pleaded guilty, and then told the specific battle situation. Then he said what he thought. He believed that the city of Jinzhou was under the command of Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and the morale was very high, and if there was no artillery to attack Jinzhou, the casualties would definitely be very high. Even so, it is difficult to say whether it will be able to fight in the short term. Whether it is a strong attack, a siege, or a retreat, please let the emperor decide!
Huang Taiji threw the fold to Fan Wencheng, and shouted angrily: "I believe in him and give this credit to him...... The burden was given to him. You see, he even mentioned the withdrawal of the army, is this to embarrass me? ”
If he really retired from the army, then his previous arrangement of Huang Taiji would be a joke! The families of those who were killed because of criticism before, as well as those behind them, may be instigated again in private, and there is a high possibility that others will be bewitched by them! Therefore, this retreat is absolutely not allowed!
Fan Wencheng picked up the fold and looked at it quickly, and his face was also ugly. In the face of Huang Taiji's roar, he was speechless!
The Qing Dynasty had soldiers, and they were elite soldiers, one Qing soldier fought two Ming soldiers, and 10,000 Qing soldiers were invincible. But there is no food! If there is no food, it is useless to have elite soldiers! The problem in front of me is really in response to that sentence, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!
It is definitely not possible to retreat, and if you attack strongly, the siege is a shortcoming of the Qing Dynasty. Especially the cities that can't be sent in advance to have internal responses, they basically haven't relied on hard fighting, and they have never been beaten down! Moreover, in this winter, it is cold and freezing, digging tunnels is a daydream, and it is impossible to dig down the city walls......
Come to think of it, there is no way to effectively take the city except for human life! For the first time, Fan Wencheng felt that his IQ seemed to be a little insufficient!
Huang Taiji had no choice, and in the end he had to send his trusted ministers, such as Dai Shan, Zilharang, Azig and Prince Haoge and others to discuss countermeasures.
These people were summoned to the Chongzheng Palace, and after hearing the news of Jinzhou, they were all dumbfounded. After Haoge came back to his senses, he was even more secretly glad, fortunately Huang Ama handed over this matter to Yue Tuo and did not give it to himself, otherwise he would be embarrassed!
At this pre-imperial meeting, Huang Taiji first set the tone, that is, the troops must not be withdrawn and Jinzhou should be ceded to the Ming army! As for the rest, let's talk about it.
"Your Majesty, if it is besieged, then there will be no food in Jinzhou City!" Dai Shan cautiously put forward his opinion. The reason why he said this was that when Huang Taiji made the announcement before, he hoped to capture the grain of the Ming army in Jinzhou City and use it to replenish the winter food for the Qing Dynasty.
Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and he nodded: "I know! ”
That is to say, the siege is the next resort, and if there is a good way to storm the city, this method of siege is not used.
Several people had no way, so no one spoke, and the Chongzheng Hall became very quiet. The maid of the palace even tried to lighten her breath as much as possible, for fear of making a little noise. There have been examples in the past where someone couldn't help but fart and lost his head.
Huang Taiji waited for a while, and when he saw that no one was still talking, he was a little annoyed, and immediately shouted: "This is a war in Liaodong, since there is no good way, then build as many siege equipment as possible, and use human lives to pile down Jinzhou!" ”
Of course, the use of human life he talked about would definitely not be the life of the Manchurians. Everyone knows this, because it's common sense.
When Hauge heard this, he immediately supported: "Huang Ama is right, those people will die when they die, and they can save more food!" ”
Huang Taiji glanced at him when he heard the sound, and this time he nodded, which was regarded as affirming Haoge's statement, which made Haoge very happy.
However, Huang Taiji finally frowned and said, "But no matter who attacked, there was no reason to send him to death." At the very least, they must be given a full meal, so that they can have the strength to attack the city. But what about the grain, where does the food come from? ”
No matter what, you can't get around the word "grain"! These Jianyu leaders, as soon as they hear this word now, their brains hurt!
Dai Shan thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you ask for food from the Mongolian tribes?" ”
Hearing this suggestion, Azig and the others nodded, they are allies, and now that the Qing Dynasty is short of food, it is natural to ask them for food!
Huang Taiji listened to it and thought about it seriously for a while, but finally shook his head and said: "It's not proper, the Mongolian tribes have no food, and it has been a problem to survive the winter in the past few years." And this year, in order to establish power, my Qing Dynasty has slaughtered the Ao Han Department. If you want to force them to squeeze out the food again, I'm afraid they will push them to the side of the Ming Kingdom! Don't take this step unless you have to! ”
Hearing this conclusion, the Chongzheng Hall fell silent again. Only Haoge, unlike other people, bowed his head and pondered, he looked at Huang Taiji, and then looked at others, or because he got Huang Taiji's approval, and had the courage, he suggested again: "Huang Ama, this is nothing, it's the big deal as before, eat two-legged sheep!" ”
The leader of the Jianyu present listened to it and looked up at him, but no one vetoed it. There is really not enough food, so that's the only way to go!
Huang Taiji looked at the others, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. After all, he has already founded the country and become an emperor, and this large-scale cannibalism makes him feel a little embarrassed on his face. But there is really no other way, so it can only be like this.
He was about to make a decision just like that, but found that Fan Wencheng's face seemed to be a little special, as if he was thinking about something and had an idea.
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly asked by name: "Fan Qing, is there a good plan?" ”
When they heard this, several people in the temple looked at him, not believing that he could say a better way.
I saw that Fan Wencheng heard that he was named by Huang Taiji, and after a little hesitation, he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the slave does have a method, which was thought of on the basis of the crown prince. ”
"Oh, let's hear it!" When Huang Taiji heard this, he hurriedly asked.
When Hauge heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a trace of disdain and dissatisfaction. This Han slave, if you think of a way, you have to think about it on your own head, it's not a good thing!
I only heard Fan Wencheng say to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the guard of Jinzhou is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, and the slave thinks that this person is from Jinshi, the governor of one party, and the feudal official of the Ming State. Although he is indeed a courageous and brave person, in the final analysis, he is still a civil official. Since he is a civil official, he must care about his reputation. So, the minion thought, this is where his weakness lies, and where the weakness of the Golden State lies! ”
