As far as the entire Liaodong is concerned, no matter how the wild boar Pinurhachi is slaughtered, in terms of population composition, it is still the majority of Han Chinese. What Huang Taiji meant by this was to show that only by including the Han people among the ordinary people of the Qing Dynasty could the Qing Dynasty's national strength be greater than before.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yue Tuo played first.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" When the others saw it, they also chimed in.

Huang Taiji smiled and nodded, and he was indeed proud in his heart. He is confident that in today's Daqing country, his vision is absolutely the first, and no one else can see this height.

After accepting the compliments from the courtiers, Huang Taiji smiled again and said: "Now that my Qing Dynasty is strong, it is gratifying. But there's one thing that you have to take seriously......"

Speaking of this, he paused, glanced at all the courtiers below and said, "The autumn harvest is imminent, and all localities must do a good job of grain harvesting." I have estimated that now that the population of our Qing Dynasty has increased again, this food is a problem. All the grain is harvested and put into storage, and the difference is made up from North Korea, but it can cope with this winter. ”

The issue of food has also been restricting the Manchus. At least for Liaodong, there has been a shortage of food, and the last time a lot of grain was transported from North Korea, which somewhat alleviated the food crisis in Liaodong. As for how many people starved to death on the Korean side, that was not something that Huang Taiji was worried about, and he naturally wouldn't care.

When he said this, he smiled, frowned slightly, and said: "There is no news about the situation in Naturalization City for a long time, but I estimate that Ming Guo should not give up Naturalization City happily, and it is very likely to occupy there." In this way, it will be a great disadvantage to my Qing Dynasty. The more it drags behind, the greater the resulting threat. Therefore, after the grain is harvested and put into storage, I think that the country should still do a good job of grain control as in previous years, first squeeze out some grain for military use, and send troops to directly crusade against Guihua City. ”

Hearing this, Dai Shan, who was the oldest in qualification, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the population of my Qing Dynasty has increased this year, and there is no source from the Jin merchants in previous years, if you rely on the North Korean side alone, I am afraid that the food will still not be enough." The old minister thought ...... Do you think that the crusade against Naturalization City can be postponed until next year, or that another source of food can be found? ”

Before the others had time to express any opinions on this, they saw that Huang Taiji categorically vetoed: "No, if it drags on for a year or two, the Ming army will get more benefits in Guihua City, and we really can't afford to delay it!" ”

Speaking of this, he groaned slightly, softened his tone again, and said to Dai Shan, whose face was a little ugly: "In this way, how about I give another order to Ying Ordai and let him collect more grain?" As for the king of Joseon, let him endure it for the benefit of the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, so the old minister is relieved!" Dai Shan listened, and after a little hesitation, he still bowed down and responded.

Even Dai Shan didn't object, and others wouldn't object, so the matter was decided.

Huang Taiji began to discuss the autumn harvest, which had conventions to follow, but there was no need to worry about it. However, he still has a bit of a headache for the 800 cavalry troops of the new governor of Denglai. After some deliberation, it was decided to issue an order for those coastal states and counties to send an early warning, and when they found the news that the Ming army cavalry had landed, they would immediately rush to harvest the grain.

In fact, the best way is to harvest the grain in advance. After all, the coastline is so long, what if the cavalry is not monitored for landing? But in this way, there will be a lot less food. After Huang Taiji weighed it, he felt that the cavalry army would return to the Ming Kingdom from Guanning and then go back to Denglai, and then cross the sea to Liaodong, it would take a while, and it would be impossible to come over before the autumn harvest. Therefore, he wanted to ask for more food.

The next day, he held another imperial council to continue the discussion of important matters. That is, after the autumn harvest, how many men and horses should be sent to the steppe, which flags to send and what proportion to be sent to the expedition, which Mongolian tribes to unite, what benefits to be promised to them, and so on. There are many and complicated matters, involving many parties at home and abroad, so it is necessary to weigh the interests of all parties, and it is also discussed for a long time before it is determined.

At the end of the meeting, Huang Taiji seriously explained: "This matter is very important, all flags should start preparing from now, and as soon as the grain is in storage, the army will be pulled!" ”

He didn't know that his biggest opponent, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, had actually been replaced at the end of last year. He is still doing things with old experience, and he is destined to be taught a lesson.

What he didn't know was that the content of his imperial meeting, a day later, Qian Fugui learned the content from the prince Haoge he set up, and sent it to the group owner through the chat group as soon as possible.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw the general content of the meeting, he smiled with satisfaction after reconfirming the new battle plan on his side. Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, how do you fight with me?

The content of the meeting was also passed on to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chengzong through the chat group, and then the order was issued, and before Jianyu harvested the grain, the autumn raid codenamed "Autumn Harvest Operation" was officially started. In later history, the beginning of this war and the end of the war the following year were regarded as a key battle for the transformation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's national strength.

On the Ningjin front, in the lobby of the Jinzhou Marshal's Mansion, the main position is not the marshal He Kegang, but Sun Chengzong, the assistant minister and the superintendent of Jiliao, and the generals are gathered below.

Sun Chengzong's beard curled as he spoke, and after talking for a long time, he shouted in a deep voice: "This battle is a great matter, and the emperor personally decreed that the combat goal must be achieved." Therefore, the old man has a word first, if anyone dares to delay in this matter, he will never be spared! ”

"The last general obeys!" He Kegang took his subordinates and responded with his fists in a loud voice.

"Good!" Sun Chengzong shouted, and then immediately announced: "All the generals will send out the elite families, and they will be selected by the deputy general Cao Wenzhao to form a thousand cavalry troops to go on the expedition, and release them after the fact!" ”

When he said this, he raised his voice again and shouted coldly: "The old man reiterates again, if there are those who dare to make small moves to affect this war, the old man will never spare it!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao, and explained to him again: "If there is anyone who neglects military orders, there is no need to worry about who the family is. This battle can't be completed as planned, and the old man won't spare you! ”

"The last general obeys!" Although Cao Wenzhao didn't know the specific battle plan, since Sun Chengzong had assigned it, he replied without fear.

If you don't work hard, you can't do it, otherwise you will be surpassed by the little rabbit cub who turns into Jiao, and your old face as an uncle will be put there! Cao Wenzhao thought so in his heart.

He is already a general at the level of deputy general, and above is the general soldier of one side, so he naturally knows the general situation of his nephew. Thinking that he still wanted to persuade his nephew to stay in the Guanning Army, or his nephew insisted on going to the New Army, he had a sense of crisis in his heart that he was overtaken by Cao Bianjiao.
