On the evening of the allied forces meeting at Qingshanzui, Abahai convened a meeting of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Abahai is feeling a lot of pressure.

The pressure mainly comes from Duo'er Hong, who is "returning from hunting".

Abahai's honeymoon lasted less than half a day. When Abahai proposed that the Eight Banners family couldn't get Duo'erhong's ransom, and needed two white flags to make a big deal by himself, as his brother Abahai could support his younger brother, Duo'er Hong replied with a cold face: "No need, I'll grab my ransom myself, and I don't want other people's charity." ”

Duo Erhong and Duo Duo were obviously estranged from Abahai and got closer to Mang Gurtai.

The pressure came secondly from the lack of food for the army.

In order to compete for the few grain stocks, several flags have been in conflict with each other.

Especially the Han army. Other flags can also be hunted along the way to settle a part of the ration. The Han army did not have a hunting guy, and they did not dare to fight with the Eight Banners when distributing food, and the Han soldiers complained and almost mutinied.

Abahai ordered each flag to be distributed to the Han army for more than a dozen yellow sheep, although it was a drop in the bucket, it could cope with it for a while.

Abahai always remembered Ning Wan's original words, "A thousand miles of march, although the victory is still defeated", "The defeat of Liaodong, the Great Khan can be attributed to the first emperor; For the defeat of Yongping, the Great Khan can be blamed on Amin; If the steppe is defeated, who else can the Great Khan blame? ”

Waiting for all the big and small Taiji to sit around, Abahai opened his mouth:

"Now there is not enough food and grass, and the army is huddled together and marching slowly. I decided to divide my troops. ”

"I decided to send a wing of men and horses, select strong horses in the army, carry grain and grass, go forward to seize Baidao, and plunder Guihua City. The white road behind the mountain of the naturalized city is narrow, the mountain road is constantly curved like a sheep's intestine, and the carriages cannot be parallel, so this wing of men and horses must be lightly armed and strong. ”

At the same time, another wing of men and horses were sent to grab the big board and ascend to the city through Shimen Water. The Shimen waterway is relatively wide, and the red-coated cannons can barely pass through. ”

"I'll lead the rest of the weak-horse soldiers behind me and march slowly."

"After the two wings have taken the city, send the soldiers to plunder deeply, and as for the capture of your Beylor, you may leave the weak soldiers to guard it as appropriate, and when the army leaves, burn all its houses, spoil its crops, and kill all the young and strong who are inconvenient to take away, leaving only the old and weak."

"The two wings will meet outside the mouth of the tiger in Daming, and then rob Daming! Come on, Vice Admiral Xuanning comes in. ”

I walked into the big tent with my head bowed and greeted you Baelor.

Abahai said: "Ning Jiaoshi, you tell the Baylors about your strategy of looting the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Zha!"

After I'd finished, I cleared my throat and talked eloquently:

"The Great Khan commanded us to ponder this matter, and though we are dull, let us do what we can. The ministers, Fan Wencheng, and Ma Guozhu considered that my Manchurian soldiers, no matter how big or small, were greedy for people's property and goods, and they would want to enter the Ming realm. The Great Khan should plan early, and if he slacks off, he will be in trouble. ”

"The reputation of our Manchurian army is like thunder, and the army is close to the Ming realm, and the Ming army in the border area is naturally restrained and strictly guarded in various places. If our army enters the Ming realm, it will meet the Ming army; If the Ming army retreats to the city and leaves behind the nearby poor villages, our army will only consume our horses when it enters the Ming realm, and it will not benefit our army. If our army returns empty-handed, it will lose both fame and fortune like this expedition to Mongolia. ”

Abahai resisted the urge to let me go out and do it, and squeezed out a tolerant smile on his face, "It's better to put the style but talk about the strategy!" ”

Ning Wan I said:

"Our army carries red-coated cannons, and if we want to enter the Ming Realm, we should go straight to Beijing, ask Emperor Ming if he will make peace, and then return home from the Shanhaiguan Water Gate, so as to show that my Manchurian army is invincible in the world!"

"As for the route of marching, it is most convenient to enter the Ming Dynasty from Yanmen. The enemy has no reinforcements on this road, and the people are rich and rich, so they can feed our sergeants. ”

"The Great Khan intends to enter the Ming Realm, but he is afraid of ruining his reputation. There are two strategies. One is a fair and righteous plan, and the other is a plan to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. ”

"The so-called fair and righteous plan, when the people of the city along the way were announced, it was said that the Manchurian army conquered Chahar, Lin Dan Khan fled far away, and our army collected all the local residents of Chahar. Because it was a long way to return to Liaodong with these descendants, he entered the Ming realm by the way to negotiate peace with Emperor Ming. Temporarily borrow the horses, mules, and donkeys of the people of the Ming Realm, and let the people ride back to Shenyang, and wait for the peace between our Manchurian State and the Ming Emperor to be completed, and the horses, mules, and donkeys will be repaid according to the amount. If Emperor Ming does not agree to negotiate peace, then all the places occupied by our Manchurian army will belong to Manchuria, and the people will be exempted from taxes for several years, etc. ”

"Rather put the style", Mang Gurtai spoke, "Don't you think this plan is a bully to the Son of Heaven? ”

Ning Wan said: "The emperor is selfless, and only virtue is supplemented." can really be a hundred officials, raise all the people, even if he is called the emperor, the heavens will not be strange; If there is no kindness in accordance with the will of heaven, although he does not say that he is an emperor, heaven will not be able to bless him. ”

Abahai secretly praised in his heart: "Well said! ”

After Ning finished, I then prayed: "The so-called plan of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, when you write letters to the officials in the vicinity, and trouble them to make peace for me, the date is limited. They will not dare to take up their responsibilities and will not delay by trickery. At that time, I took advantage of the gap and let me do whatever I wanted. ”

"Great Khan, the Manchurian army is good at field warfare, and there are red-coated artillery to attack fortifications. If you enter the Ming realm, you should go deeper. If you don't go deeper, it's better to be a teacher in this class. Don't return halfway and leave empty-handed. Khan pondered. ”

"Well, you step aside."

"Zha!"

I'll quit the tent after I'm done.

As Abahai expected, the people in the tent were full of excitement when they heard that Ning had finished my plan.

Duo Erhong was the first to stand up and speak: "I still owe debts, and we will fight with two white flags in Naturalization City!" ”

Mang Gurtai was the second to stand up: "The white road is sinister, the blue flag and the two white flags go together!" ”

Abahai was shocked, and he must not let Mang Gurtai and Duo'er Hong and Duoduo get mixed together.

Abahai said: "The white road is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let Hauge go with the two yellow flags, and be sure to win the white road in one fell swoop. Mang Gurtai is old, let the young people make more achievements. ”

"As for the person who commands the troops", Abahai glanced at Duo'er Hong, "Duo'er Hong suffered when she was hunting, and I heard that she often gets sick, so don't worry about it this time." De Grebel of Zhenglan Banner is in charge. ”

It is said that according to the strength of each flag, Duoer Hong is the most suitable for handsome. But it makes sense for Abahai to choose the eldest De Gray as the handsome.

Abahai's tone was abruptly stern: "Two yellow flags, two white flags, and positive blue flags are the left wing, select strong horses on the same day, and go to the city of naturalization, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Zha!" , De Gray, Duo Erhong, Duo Duo, and Hauge agreed in unison.

"Jierhalangbele, Yuetobele, Sakhalian bele, you three are the right wing, select strong horses on the same day, lead the blue flag, two red flags, the right wing of the Mongolian and Han armies, and attack Dabansheng City through the Shimen Waterway, there must be no mistake!"

"Zha!" , Zilharang, Yueto, and Sakhalian Qiqi agreed.

"Ben Khan and the Great Beyler and Manggul Taibel led the weak army to win the horse, and then marched slowly, and Jing Houer waited for good news."

On the fifth day of the first month of June of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Ning Wume, Fan Wencheng, and Ma Guozhu Shu Qin said:

"Yesterday, Khan ordered us to wait for this matter. Although the ministers are foolish, they know everything they know now. ……。

"Looking at the situation of our army today, no matter how big or small, they are all greedy for people's money and goods, and they must want to enter the heart. If you want to enter, Khan should plan in advance and decide on the strategy. The slightest negligence will lead to difficulties in the advent period.

"Now the Khan has led a large army here, like thunder. Along the border, we will be restrained as much as possible, and we will be prepared in various places. As soon as our soldiers enter, they will meet the Ming soldiers; If they retreat to the cities, and they are near the villages, and the ruffians are poor, our army will enter and we will be able to thin our horses, and it will be of no benefit to our army. If you return it with your bare hands, you will be like Mongolia and lose both fame and fortune.

"If you want to go inside, you should go straight to Beijing, interrogate whether it is with or not, make a decision early, and destroy the Shanhaiguan Water Gate and return home, so as to show that our army is invincible in the world. To the road to the march, it is convenient to enter from Yanmen. On this road, the enemy has no reinforcements, and the people are rich and rich, so they can feed our sergeants.

"Khan has the intention of being inward, and he is afraid of ruining his reputation, there is no gap to take advantage of, how to go deeper, the minister is equal to the impossible, and those who ask for it have two plans. Two strategies: one is an obvious plan, and the other is a provocation plan.

"The so-called obvious plan should be announced to the people of the cities along the way, and say that Chahar Khan will flee far away, and collect all the local residents of Baixing. If the people are ordered to return on foot, the road will be difficult to reach. By the way, I came here to negotiate peace with Emperor Ming. Now I will use Erma, mules and donkeys to multiply the people to return to them, and I will repay the horses, mules, and donkeys according to the amount when I negotiate peace with Emperor Erdi. If I want to make peace, and the emperor does not obey, I will raise a teacher, and I will be blessed by heaven, and the land of Err will be given to my people who are suffering in Ver, and they will be exempt from taxation and supported for several years. This plan is also.

The speaker said that this was a deception. The emperor is selfless, and only virtue is supplemented. If you can be a hundred officials and raise all the people, that is, you will be the emperor all day long, and the sky will not be strange; If you don't have the kindness to conform to the will of heaven, even if you don't say that you are the emperor, heaven will not be able to help you.

"Those who seek provocation should write a book to the officials in the vicinity, and bother them to make peace for me, and the date is limited, and the courtiers are bound to be disturbed, and the officials guarding the border do not dare to take responsibility for the peace talks, and the tricks will be delayed. At that time, I took advantage of the gap and let me do whatever I wanted.

"If you want to sweat, it is better to go deeper; If you don't enter, you will be better than the class teacher. If you don't get it halfway, it's useless.

"Beggar Khan pondered."
