The continuous flow of information from Liaodong can basically confirm that the direction of the Ming army's attack will be the direction of Liaodong.

Fan Wencheng all his energy, almost all on the top of the intelligence, since July, he did not care about other things, from Liaodong, Daming capital, Anning Fort, Jingbian sent information, enough for him to analyze, from these information, he summarized three aspects of the situation, the first situation is that the border army of Datong, the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe of the sergeants, will defend against the army of the Mongolian tribe, to prevent the two armies from fighting, Mongolia has a change, resulting in the Ming border pass encountered, distracting the energy of the attackThe second situation is that the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion will arrive in Liaodong at the end of July to undertake the main offensive task, with the assistance of the Liaodong border army, and Su Tiancheng will directly command the entire campaign, and the third situation is that they will stay in Dengzhou, Fuzhou and other places, and some of the elites of the Jiangning battalion will threaten the direction of Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou.

This arrangement was basically not unexpected by Fan Wencheng, who admired Su Tiancheng's arrangement, especially paying attention to the Mongolian steppe, to avoid other changes in the process of conquest.

From this arrangement, Fan Wencheng also realized the purpose of the Ming court, this is a large-scale decisive battle, and it is by no means an ordinary battle as some people understand, otherwise Su Tiancheng would not personally come forward to command the battle, after all, Su Tiancheng is already the cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to the prime minister, if it is a small-scale battle, Su Tiancheng has no need to come forward.

Such an analysis mainly comes from the many information obtained, among which the information from Liaodong is the most, and it is all some information on army mobilization, and Kang Tai and Tang Haitai have made great contributions.

After obtaining the information, Fan Wencheng will summarize the information. As well as his own analysis, he reported to Huang Taiji and Haoge word for word, and participated in the analysis and discussion, at this time, Huang Taiji changed his strategy, and the number of people who participated in the discussion was quite a lot. Including Dai Shan, Dolgon, Duoduo, Zilharang and others, the Han people who are qualified to participate in the discussion are only Fan Wencheng, which also shows that Fan Wencheng really entered the high-level of the Great Qing Dynasty and won the trust of the Manchu nobles.

After several discussions, Huang Taiji basically made up his mind and prepared to strengthen the defense in the direction of Liaodong, and the Great Qing State could not always be in a defensive position. The main direction of attack of the Ming army is in Liaodong, so the soldiers of the Great Qing State can launch an attack from the direction of Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, on the one hand, to contain the Ming army in Liaodong, and on the other hand, to form a major blow to the Jiangning battalion with superior troops.

Such a program is focused on all the intelligence obtained.

Huang Taiji expressed great satisfaction with Fan Wencheng for obtaining so much information. Every time you deliberate, you have to praise Fan Wencheng. Crown Prince Haoge also looked at Fan Wencheng differently.

It is precisely because of this that Fan Wencheng is more cautious, and always analyzes a lot of information repeatedly to avoid problems. Moreover, it is necessary to combine the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty and analyze empathy.

July 20, Chongzheng Palace.

Huang Taiji gathered everyone in spite of his illness and had a decisive discussion, this time. The deployment of the Great Qing State is also about to be finalized, and once a decisive opinion is formed, it will be implemented.

Fan Wencheng followed Haoge into the Chongzheng Palace.

Daishan, Dolgon, Duoduo, Zilharang and others are all waiting in the Chongzheng Palace, and this time there are also Sonny, Tan Tai and others who participated in the discussion.

Huang Taiji's look is good, the Ming army is about to attack, at this time, Huang Taiji has long forgotten the pain of the body, go all out, he has suffered too much pain in his life's expedition, the best medical treatment is to participate in the expedition.

The atmosphere of Chongde Hall is a little dignified, since the establishment of the Great Qing Dynasty, everyone has discussed defensive battles, this is the first time, when facing the Ming army in the past, the soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom do not need to consider the problem of defense, all the discussions are offensive.

After everyone arrived, Huang Taiji spoke first.

"I won't say much about the goals that need to be achieved today, I hope that you can speak freely, don't have any reservations, no matter what you think is right or wrong, say it all, it is related to the fate of my Great Qing Kingdom, and you will not hesitate."

There have been a lot of discussions before, this time, Huang Taiji raised many questions according to the situation of the discussion, to see if everyone still has any objections, if there are no objections, even if it is the final decision.

"Since the founding of the first emperor, I have been invincible, never afraid, to win more with less, to defeat the strong with the weak, for the warriors of my Great Qing Kingdom, it is not an impossible thing, how huge the Ming Dynasty is, occupy the Central Plains, continue for hundreds of years, it is not defeated by the warriors of my Great Qing Kingdom, the battle of Salhu, is the best proof of the Lu, I followed my father, expanded the territory, and watched my Great Qing Kingdom slowly grow, how comfortable it is, now my Great Qing Kingdom has encountered temporary difficulties, not a big thing, I hope you have full confidence that the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army. ”

"This battle is related to the fate of my Great Qing Kingdom, what will be the outcome of defeat, you all know it, the Ming army's combat effectiveness is weak, except for the Jiangning battalion, the rest are vulnerable, as long as the Jiangning battalion is defeated, my Great Qing Kingdom will be victorious."

"I put all my energy into this battle, I hope that you, also the same mind, the skin does not have hair will be attached, I don't want to see the internal strife, the Ming Dynasty was once so huge, for what will slowly decay, isn't it the internal strife, the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty are all for their own interests, exploiting the people, dumping each other, resulting in the continuous decline of national strength, my Qing Dynasty can rise rapidly, is your unity as one, as the saying goes, with one heart and one mind, its benefits and gold, Such a tradition must be adhered to, and only by doing so can the Qing Dynasty be able to unify the Central Plains. ”

Speaking of the excitement, Huang Taiji stood up.

"There are not many Manchus in my Great Qing Dynasty, but hundreds of thousands of people, but how many Han people are in the Ming Dynasty, how many Han people are in Liaodong, some Manchu people, always think that they are superior, think that the Han people are vulnerable, but have you ever thought about it, with hundreds of thousands of Manchus, how can it be possible to completely rule my Great Qing Kingdom, let alone rule the Central Plains, I have been bitterly admonished, requiring us Manchus, we must unite the Han people, unite all the strength, so that my Great Qing Kingdom can be truly strong, it is possible to unify the Central Plains, I have been doing it for you all these years. ”

"Su Tiancheng of the Ming Dynasty, why can I be so powerful, why my warriors of the Qing Dynasty have repeatedly failed in the hands of Su Tiancheng, some people think that this is Su Tiancheng's good luck and can grasp the opportunity, I don't see it this way, this is only part of the reason, have you noticed, Su Tiancheng is not only able to lead the army, but also very outstanding in terms of people's livelihood, where he has walked, the people can have enough food and clothing, can live a good life, can live a peaceful life, I see the fundamental reason, Yes, there is. ”

"Some people can't understand that the conquest has nothing to do with the lives of the people, as long as the soldiers are brave, all the problems are solved, as for the lives of the common people, there is no slightest implication with the conquest, I can only say that this understanding is extremely wrong, if there is no supply and support, no logistics guarantee, no matter how strong the army is, it is difficult to support, only with the support of the people, with sufficient logistics support, the army can be invincible."

"Over the years, you have realized Su Tiancheng's awesomeness, and seen the courage of the Jiangning camp, but I see, you still haven't been able to study seriously, some people still haven't changed their attitude towards the Han people, thinking that the Han people are inferior people, they are slaves, you all see, what did Su Tiancheng do, after Su Tiancheng occupied Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, he did not kill the Manchus, did not deprive the Manchus of their wealth, and treated the Manchus equally, what is the outcome of this, that is, Su Tiancheng is in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, has received unprecedented support, including the Manchu people who live there, all of whom support Su Tiancheng. ”

"I have analyzed all the battles of Su Tiancheng, he never slaughtered innocents, did not rob the people, and always appeased the people to the greatest extent, he led the Jiangning battalion, invincible and invincible, and won the greatest support of the people, every time I think of these, I only have fear left, and such an opponent to compete, I have no luck in the Qing Kingdom, I must do my best."

"Among the information collected by Wencheng, there is one thing, I pay special attention, among the officers of the Jiangning battalion, there are three people, who are particularly brave, namely Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, do you know who these three people are, I can't believe it, these three people are Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, what kind of person is Zhang Xianzhong, you are the leaders of the Liukou, captured by Su Tiancheng and killed by the Ming court, these three people are Su Tiancheng's enemies, the hatred of killing his father is not the same as Dai Tian, but what did Su Tiancheng do, recruited three people, without the slightest defense, so that these three people willingly sold their lives, charged into battle, and became senior officers of the Jiangning battalion, placed in other places, who would believe that such a thing happened, including your thoughts, I am afraid it is all cut to the roots, and they will never leave trouble for themselves. ”

"Okay, I said this, the purpose is to ask you, you must seriously analyze Su Tiancheng, to be clear about Su Tiancheng, I believe that Su Tiancheng must have been attacked in the Ming Dynasty, but Su Tiancheng has the overall situation in mind and can deal with these problems very well, people say that the fearless are invincible, I see, Su Tiancheng is a person who has the world in mind, is truly invincible."

"My words may have hurt your self-esteem, how can you show the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, but I just want to say this, let you keep a low profile, be cautious, never be arrogant, and always think of the strength of your opponent." (To be continued......)
