For Mao Wenlong, Huang Taiji has always been very worried, on the one hand, the geographical location is too important, and on the other hand, he has beaten Mao Wenlong a few times on his side, but what is the result? The results were not very good, and none of them reached the goal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Wencheng naturally saw Huang Taiji's hesitation, and said: "Today's Mao Wenlong is no longer the original Mao Wenlong. ”

"What do you mean by Wen Cheng?" Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and said with interest.

"In the Battle of Ningjin last year, the Khan forced Korea to surrender and destroyed Dalinghe City, which can be said to be fruitful. Although he failed to defeat Mao Wenlong, but also caused Mao Wenlong to suffer heavy losses and greatly reduced his strength, if this time the Great Khan raised troops to fight again, he would definitely be able to fight down. Fan Wencheng said confidently.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Taiji still shook his head: "If we lure Mao Wenlong out of Phi Dao, we have a chance of winning, but if we attack Phi Dao, the odds of winning are not big." First, we don't have so many big ships, and second, we don't have a profit. Mao Wenlong relies on Phi Dao and firearms, it is difficult to attack! ”

Huang Taiji is very clear about the ability of the children of the Eight Banners to attack the city, not to mention the Phi Island, which Mao Wenlong has been operating for many years.

There are many camps there, there are traps everywhere, and the Ming army still has the advantage of warships and artillery, and it is impossible to attack it in a short time. Once the opportunity is lost, and the effect of the surprise attack is gone, this battle will lose its meaning, and whether it is fought or not will have no great impact.

After all, fighting on two fronts is still very tight for itself, and it is necessary to divide a part of the men and horses to go to the western front, at least 20,000 horses, plus the Mongolian tribes, gather 40,000, and claim 100,000 to be able to fool the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the Eight Banners, the smallest unit is the cattle record, every 300 people are a cow record, and the cattle record is really one person.

Niulu is not only a kind of social organization, but also a unit during the war, each Niulu 300 households, each household out of a strong man, the father dies and the son succeeds, the brother dies and the younger brother dies, and there are only 300 people per Niulu when the whole army is dispatched. In general combat, there are only a few dozen people per cow.

Every 300 cattle are recorded as a banner, and each flag is 9,000 people, and last year, they expanded eight banners, of which each banner expanded the Manchurian cattle record 308, the Mongolian cattle record 76, and the Han army cattle record 16, a total of 400.

At present, the strength of each of the eight banners is 12,000 men, and the total number of the eight banners is 96,000, almost 100,000.

This is his own army that can fight, drop 20,000 westward, or even 30,000 westward, plus the strength of the Mongolian tribes, can make up 50,000. The remaining forces are not strong enough to deal with Mao Wenlong, unless he can leave Phi Island and fight with him on land.

Seeing that Huang Taiji was still not optimistic about his own ideas, Fan Wencheng sighed helplessly, thought for a while and said, "Great Khan, have you ever thought about expanding the army?" ”

Expansion? Huang Taiji's heart moved, indeed, he seemed to be stuck in the horns of the bull, since there are not enough people, then expand the army. Now it's not the same as before, I couldn't afford to raise an army by myself before, but now with North Korea, and Lin Dan Khan has been defeated in the west, I can already raise more troops.

It's just that there aren't that many people! The number of Jurchens themselves is limited, and they can't be expanded!

"Great Khan, the minister thinks that since the Great Khan is the lord of Dajin, then all the people under Dajin are the people of Dajin and should not be treated differently." Fan Wencheng organized the language for a long time, and said cautiously: "The Great Khan can recruit the strong men of the Mongolian tribes, or he can be anxious about the strong men of the Han people to form an army. ”

Huang Taiji was silent, and Huang Taiji agreed half of Fan Wencheng's suggestion, that is, to recruit Mongolian tribes to expand the army.

Although he has expanded the Eight Banners, but the number is still not much, a few days ago Huang Taiji has been preparing to become the Mongolian Eight Banners, the name has been thought of by himself, it is called the Eight Banners Mongolia, temporarily establish two battalions, and slowly expand.

As for the Eight Banners Han Army, Huang Taiji is not ready to establish it for the time being, and I believe that if he puts it forward, the opposition will be very loud.

What's more, the time for himself to occupy the land of Liaoyang and Shenyang is not very long, and the Han people are not at home to themselves, and the people's hearts need to be managed slowly, and this matter is not in a hurry.

Seeing Huang Taiji's expression, Fan Wencheng knew that his words were in vain, and the Great Khan still trusted the Jurchens the most, and he was wary of the Han people from the bottom of his heart. Fan Wencheng had been pursuing a strategy of Manchu-Han integration, and he felt that only in this way would it be beneficial to Dajin's rule.

The biggest problem why Yuanmeng failed and retreated from the Central Plains is that they regard the Han people as inferior, but now it seems that they still have a long way to go, and there is a long way to go!

"Great Khan, we can shave our hair in Liaoyang and Shen Yang, and encourage Manchu and Han intermarriage, so that after a long time, naturally Manchu and Han will not be separated." Fan Wencheng thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, since the Jurchens can't be Han, then let the Han people be Jurchens.

This statement suddenly made Huang Taiji's eyes light up, and his eyes looking at Fan Wencheng were full of approval: "Not bad, not bad, Wencheng is a good idea!" ”

Although it is more difficult for Manchu and Han to intermarry, it doesn't matter, let out the news first. It may be a little difficult for a Jurchen man to marry a Han man, but it is relatively easy to take a Han woman.

Hasn't marriage always been your own strategy? You can marry Mongolia, and so can the Han people.

At this moment, Huang Taiji's thinking instantly diverged, and he couldn't help but think of North Korea, should he also ask North Korea to marry a princess to achieve the status of consolidating the alliance? Or simply marry a Gege to the king of Korea.

When the time comes, he will designate Gege's descendants as the next king of North Korea, will his heart still be on his side?

The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, and his mood suddenly improved, and his eyes at Fan Wencheng became more and more appreciative, this is really a talent! As for shaving your hair, of course it's a good idea, a good idea!

Let them accept that they are full of people, and naturally they will slowly return to their hearts, Huang Taiji couldn't help nodding again and again.

"Wen Cheng, this idea is really very good, compared to dealing with Mao Wenlong, this is a big deal. When I go back, I will discuss with Baylor and the Eight Banners Banner, this matter must be fast and cannot be delayed, and this year, Ben Khan is also preparing to open a imperial examination to encourage scholars to work for Ben Khan! Huang Taiji himself came up with another idea.

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed, nodded and said: "The Great Khan is wise, and the good ministers choose to do things, and the ministers believe that the Great Khan's move will definitely be able to restrain people's hearts and make many people use by the Great Khan." ”

After listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Huang Taiji became more and more satisfied, nodded again and again, and talked to Fan Wencheng in detail about the specific progress of the plan.

For a while, the two monarchs and ministers pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and they talked happily, and Huang Taiji had already made up his mind in his heart to reuse the Han people in these museums.

At this moment, Huang Taiji finally understood why his father Khan valued these Han people so much, these people may not be able to fight and charge into battle, but they really need these people to give advice and govern the territory, and they really don't have such talents at hand!

"Wen Cheng has the merit of making suggestions, and when he goes back, Ben Khan will let people add official positions to Wen Cheng, Wen Cheng can rest assured, Ben Khan must be rewarded for his merits!" Huang Taiji laughed and said that if you want the horse to run, you naturally have to feed some good grass, which Huang Taiji knows.

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Thank you for the kindness of the Great Khan, and you must do your best to repay the great kindness." ”

The two of them were subtle, and the topic shifted to Mao Wenlong again, Fan Wencheng rolled his eyes, and said again: "Great Khan, if Mao Wenlong doesn't come out, we may be able to get rid of Mao Wenlong without attacking Phi Dao." ”

"Wen Cheng has a good idea again?" Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, this is the idea he wants!

"Didn't the minister mention the counter-plot just now, if Mao Wenlong doesn't come to attack Shenyang City, he can just use this strategy." Fan Wencheng's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "The Great Khan can write a letter to Mao Wenlong at that time, saying that he is grateful that he did not come to fight Shenyang, so that the Great Khan can enter the customs calmly, and in order to thank him, he will offer 300,000 taels of silver." ”

"If this letter falls into the hands of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how can Mao Wenlong survive?"

Huang Taiji's heart moved, and he nodded again and again, this Fan Wencheng is really resourceful, and his plans are all linked to each other.

"Once the emperor of the Ming Dynasty becomes suspicious, then the matter will be easy to do, and Mao Wenlong will be finished sooner or later." Fan Wencheng said affirmatively: "We can even send someone to Beijing to dredge up the relationship, spend money to buy a way, and let people impeach Mao Wenlong." ”

"I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do, it is difficult for our people to get in, even if they do, there is no way!" Huang Taiji frowned and said in a deep voice.

Fan Wencheng smiled, waved his hand and said: "Great Khan, we don't need to send someone to do this matter, let those guys in Shaanxi do it, they have taken so many benefits from us, so they naturally have to contribute." It's really not good, give them a little benefit, what do they dare not do for the sake of money? ”

Huang Taiji agrees with this, he has bought a lot of ordnance, food and salt from there over the years, if it weren't for the strict control of firearms, they couldn't get it, and they should use firearms on their side.

"Okay, let you arrange this matter!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth: "As for the matter of sending troops, Ben Khan will go back and study it, and he will inform you when the time comes!" ”

"Don't worry, the ministers should do their best, but there is one thing that the ministers have to remind the Great Khan that this time the matter must be kept secret, and the Ming army must not be aware of the opportunity, otherwise it will fall short, and everything is hopeless." Fan Wencheng instructed.

Huang Taiji nodded and patted Fan Wencheng on the shoulder: "Wen Cheng rest assured, Ben Khan knows in his heart that he will not leak the news." Now the Ming army doesn't even dare to release the scout cavalry, even if we transfer troops, they won't be able to find out! ”
