680 Cast a long line to catch big fish
The entire southern part of the Qing Dynasty was bordered by the sea, that is, within the attack range of the Ming army. In the past, although these places would also be harassed by the Ming army, the strength of those Dongjiang troops was average, and as long as the cavalry army was dispatched, it could be defeated. In fact, those Ming troops did not dare to confront the Qing army head-on.
But if there was that Ming army, it would be different. If there are fewer people, it is likely that they will be defeated by them like the white flag this time and suffer heavy losses, if they go more, the mobilization of the army will inevitably affect the national economy and people's livelihood! Unless it is decided by a war after the discovery of the enemy, there will be no Ming army from now on, and it is believed that there will be no such army in the Ming Kingdom for riots.
He was thinking about it, but he heard a movement outside the hall, and it was an urgent letter from eight hundred miles.
As soon as he heard this, Huang Taiji felt that his head "boomed", don't there be any big defeat, right? Can the Great Qing Kingdom still be tossed like this?
"Your Majesty, Jinzhou has found traces of the Ming army, suspects that Lushun has fallen, and there are signs of attacking Jinzhou, please send reinforcements as soon as possible." After the confession, he handed over a chicken feather letter, but Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief.
I haven't lost a big battle yet, but I just found out about the enemy, so it's okay! Huang Taiji thought as he unfolded the letter forwarded by the chamberlain and looked at it quickly.
After reading it, his face was decisive, and while showing the letter to Fan Wencheng, he instructed the chamberlain: "Pass the decree and summon all Baylors into the palace to discuss matters!" ”
"Wow!" The chamberlain responded, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out of the palace to pass the decree.
At this time, Fan Wencheng finished reading the letter, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly looked up at Huang Taiji and asked, "Master, are you preparing to send troops?" ”
"Yes!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I don't have to doubt it, Lushun must have fallen. The Ming army must have used Lushun as a transit place for their naval division, and maybe the new Ming army would also be there, so that the Ming army would dare to attack Jinzhou blatantly! ”
"Master, what if my army goes out and the Ming army runs away by boat?" Fan Wencheng followed Huang Taiji's thoughts and asked patiently.
Hearing this, Huang Taiji was stunned at first, and then his face was very ugly. Jinzhou was on the sharp corner of Liaodong Bay, and if the Ming army really wanted to slip away from the sea, it would be very easy, as long as there were enough ships. Since they can appear in the town of Kim Pak in North Korea, it means that they must have enough ships to transport them, so could it be that the army is dispatched and finally busy?
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Fan Wencheng continued to patiently analyze: "Master, if my army is dispatched and can annihilate the attacking Ming army in one fell swoop, it would be good." But if the Ming army runs away, the food consumed by the army will be a bit too much! ”
Hearing this, Huang Taiji finally calmed down, he knew that Fan Wencheng must have a better idea when he said this, so he asked him, "What tricks can Fan Qing use?" ”
Sure enough, Fan Wencheng seemed to be confident, and immediately replied: "Master, the slave thinks that since the Ming army has the intention of plotting against Jinzhou, it is just right, just give them Jinzhou, and all the Qing troops over there will retreat to the north of Xiaoshan Mountain......"
"What?" Huang Taiji couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard that Fan Wencheng actually gave the idea of retreating without a fight, the little eyes on his fat face blinked, as if he wanted to see through Fan Wencheng's heart, what did he mean by this?
In fact, without him having to see through it, Fan Wencheng immediately explained: "Master, the slave thinks like this. If we let Jinzhou out, we will shrink the military power back, which is like taking back my fist, so that we can fight it out hard, which is one of them. ”
As soon as Huang Taiji heard this, he pressed his temperament, thought in his head, and listened to Fan Wencheng continue to explain.
"Second, if the Ming State captures Jinzhou, for them, this is the first time to take the big city of Liaodong, which is a great achievement, and the Ming State will definitely be excited about it, and maybe send more troops to garrison it. At the same time, our retreat without a fight in the Qing Dynasty can also make them think that our Qing Dynasty is no longer good, and breed their arrogance. ”
This is an analysis from the hearts of the people, and it does make sense, Huang Taiji measured it in his heart, and continued to listen to Fan Wencheng continue to say.
"Third, after the deep winter, the sea will freeze, and then I will gather heavy troops in the Qing Dynasty and re-sweep the place in Jinzhou, so that the sea will freeze, the sailors will not be there, and those Ming troops will be turtles in the urn, and there will be no need to worry about them escaping!"
Hearing this, Huang Taiji finally understood what Fan Wencheng meant, and couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, this method is good! He was about to praise Fan Wencheng, but he heard him say something else: "In addition, since the Ming army has occupied such a large area of Jinzhou, it can be said that the entire Liaodong Bay is occupied by the Ming army, and they will inevitably hoard materials for the winter." If it is taken back by my Qing Dynasty in winter, it will not only be able to wipe out the living force of the Ming army, but also obtain a batch of food and materials, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, the minions thought that it was better to give up the Golden State for the time being. ”
"Good, good, good!" Huang Taiji said three good words in a row, and even stood up, walked quickly to Fan Wencheng's side, and said with a happy face, "What a minion, I didn't misunderstand you!" ”
"The master Liao praised, the slave just thought of a way, and everything has to be decided wisely by the master." Fan Wencheng was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he replied modestly.
"Good is good!" Huang Taiji spoke loudly, with excitement in his tone, contrary to the heaviness just now, "This is called casting a long line to catch a big fish, I want to see how big a fish can be caught with this bait in Jinzhou, and will the new fish swallow this hook?" ”
With his understanding of the Ming officials and emperors, he must have been overjoyed to be overjoyed by them to recover such a large area, and he must be reluctant to give up. Just like Mao Wenlong back then, from a nobody, because he stole Zhenjiang, he was directly named the general soldier of one party and opened a government.
From the current movements of the Ming army, it is speculated that the Ming State is likely to let the Dongjiang Army and the new army occupy Jinzhou and other places. Hehe, let them occupy it, anyway, Jinzhou is the farthest frontier land from Shenyang for the Qing Dynasty, even if it is occupied, public opinion in the country can be suppressed, and when the cold winter goes to collect the net, those people in the country who jump out to attack themselves can also take the opportunity to deal with it!
He obviously thought a little more than Fan Wencheng and wanted to use this incident to punish his political opponents. Thinking like this, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately discussed the specific details with Fan Wencheng. For example, when the Qing Dynasty withdrew, it was necessary to take everything that could be taken away, so that the Ming army could not get anything, but the Han slaves and the like were left to them, increasing their logistical burden or something......
