This attack from the north and the east made Huang Taiji very annoyed.

If there is a large-scale clearance in the east, there will be no source of food, and it will be even more difficult in the north, I am afraid that a large army will have to be sent into the East Jinshan to clear and suppress, so that Amin can stop for a while, but is it worth it?

And to use troops to the north, in addition to capturing some raw Jurchens to replenish the source of troops, there will be no gain, and it will cost a lot of food and arrows, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.

The use of troops to the south is different, the harvest of money and grain is bound to be expensive, based on the fact that the looted property has been almost spent, especially the pressure of grain, forcing Huang Taiji to prefer the south.

But soon he didn't have to worry, and a message came that made him make a decision quickly.

"Khan Ama!" Hauge entered the imperial study and asked Huang Taiji for peace.

"Get up and speak." Huang Taiji still attaches great importance to this eldest son, and the newly established six departments let him be in charge of the criminal department, and he is also in charge of Dajin's intelligence and information exchanges, but Huang Taiji knows that although this son has the ability, he has a short temperament, and the city government is not enough, so he needs to be beaten well.

"If there is new news, please take a look at Khan Amma." Hauge presents the letterhead.

"No need, just say it, what's the matter?"

"Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Kingdom, ordered the ancestor of the general army to leave Jinzhou and build a city on the Daling River." Hauge replied.

Huang Taiji frowned slightly, "That's it?" ”

This matter was reported to him by the Han people in the south last month, but at that time he was busy setting up six parts, inspecting the newly built cannons, and felt that building the city was not a day's work, so he did not pay much attention to it.

At this time, Hauge talked about this matter again, and there must be something worth paying attention to.

"Exactly, Amma." Hauge nodded and said, "I have sent soldiers and horses to investigate, and the city wall of the Daling River has been completed, and only the battlements, corner towers and forts need to be completed. ”

"So fast?" Huang Taiji asked in surprise.

"Ama Mo forgot that when Yuan Chonghuan supervised Liaodong before, he wanted to build a city on the Daling River several times, although he has not succeeded, but the foundation has been laid, and it will be much faster to build the city this time."

The two sides of Ming and Jin have repeatedly tug-of-war in the Daling River, one side is engaged in construction, the other side is engaged in demolition, the demolition is stronger, but it is not professional enough, only to tear off the city wall is finished, as for the foundation, it is not able to take care of, and can not take care of it.

Before Mao Wenlong was killed, Houjin did not dare to make a long detour to Mongolia to enter the customs, if he wanted to enter the Shanhaiguan and even enter the pass, these dock forts and cities had to be gnawed one by one and filled with human lives.

However, they are good at field warfare and are clumsy in siege, because they do not want to see the new city of the Ming Kingdom, once discovered, they will inevitably try to destroy it, and the Daling River is the place where the two sides have ceaselessly clashed.

However, since Chongzhen broke through the customs from Mongolia into the Central Plains in the second year, the Ming army stopped for a long time, and Huang Taiji also neglected the Ming army's construction of the city because of another way to enter the customs, which made Zu Dashou take advantage of the loophole and actually built the Dalinghe City almost completely.

To tell the truth, Huang Taiji is now not very eye-catching to the Ming army's tactics of building turtle shells, and they dare not go out of the city to fight in the field, even if they build the dock fort to the foot of Shengjing City, with the courage and combat power of these people, it will not have any impact on Dajin at all.

Of course, it is impossible for the Ming army to build the Wubao city to Shengjing, and it will not be easy to get over the face, and others will also have opinions about him, the Great Khan.

By the way, while these Ming troops built the city and fort, they liked to farm the land the most, and they were actually cheaper most of the time, so I don't know what the situation around the Daling River was?

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji asked, "Haoge, do they have any farming around the Daling River?" ”

"Yes," Hauge nodded, "There are still a lot of plantings, and it seems that they want to take advantage of our unpreparedness to repair the Daling River and then store another batch of grain, so that they can shrink for a long time." ”

"Otherwise," Huang Taiji said, "they should have prepared the military rations in advance, and the ones planted on the ground are better than nothing, and if we don't want them, they will be considered to have picked them up for nothing." ”

"That's... Amma, this Da Ling River...? Hauge asked.

"Hit!" Huang Taiji made a decision in an instant.

Compared with going north to clear Amin, fighting the Daling River can have food and solve urgent needs, which is naturally more cost-effective, and compared with the detour to Mongolia to enter the customs, it is not too far, no matter how Dongjiang and Amin behave, they don't have to worry too much.

Although there is not too much grain around the Daling River, further south, there are Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places, all of which are planted around, as long as they send troops to lead the Nikans in a circle, they can collect the grain in the field, which is extremely easy, why not.

Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne of Khan, he changed the vicious behavior of the old slave to the Han people in Liaodong, he knew that the Jurchens in Jianzhou were scarce, and if he wanted to fight in Liaodong and even win the world, he had to let the Han people and the Mongolian people return to their hearts.

It is to use Huairou means, one of which is to the grain planted by the Ming people in the field outside Shanhaiguan, no longer as before, robbing and harvesting not a grain of wheat left, at the beginning it was good to leave some in the ground, since the year before last after making a windfall in the Guan, it is rarely to rob, so it has won a lot of popular support.

However, at the moment, it is difficult to protect himself, and Huang Taiji can't take care of this much, so he will send troops early before the grain is ripe, and not let one grain flow into the hands of the Ming people, and strive to pocket all these grains, and the crisis of food shortage will be greatly alleviated.

It just so happens that the cannons have just been built, and they can be used to test the power of the siege, if the Ming people don't fight, the war will end early, maybe they can wave the army into the pass, and make another windfall, Huang Taiji thought with a smile.

"Amma, Amma!" Haoge woke up Huang Taiji, who was thinking about Zhengmei, "Are you going to send troops to the Southern Dynasty?" "There was excitement on my face.

"What are you doing?" Huang Taiji was a little unhappy, "Didn't you listen to what I just said?" Beat! And the sooner the better. ”

He couldn't wait, it was June now, and within a month at most, wheat and other grains could be harvested, but he couldn't let the Ming army take advantage of them, Huang Taiji seemed to have regarded these grains as his own.

"Pass my order, all banner owners, big and small Baylors, and Beizi, go to the main hall early tomorrow morning to discuss matters." Huang Taiji cleared his throat and said.

Hauge answered, turned around excitedly and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Huang Taiji again.

"What's the hurry, also, immediately send an envoy and a fast horse to the various departments of the left center of Mongolia, let them lead the army to participate in the battle, and be sure to arrive near the left side of the Daling River within half a month." Huang Taiji now has greatly increased the power of the Khan, and he is no longer willing to waste time to let the Mongolian army and horses help in the war, and he will wait until after the court meeting to do it.

"Amma, don't you dislike them for being undisciplined and only fighting with the wind?" Haoge was a little puzzled, after returning from the last looting in the Guannei, Huang Taiji privately sent a fire, which was angered by these people.
