Garrisoning 30,000 soldiers in Dalinghe City, such a large-scale deployment, is by no means a trivial matter for the Great Qing Kingdom.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty's military strength of more than one million at every turn, the total strength of the Qing Dynasty is about 400,000, which also includes part of the strength of the Mengbaqi and all the strength of the Han army, the ancestors of the Manchus lived, mainly in the Changbai Mountain area, the climate here is particularly cold, the environment is also very harsh, the ancestors of the Manchus mainly rely on hunting to live, although long-term hunting, so that their bodies are particularly strong, but in such a cold environment, fertility is also affected, plus the backwardness of medical conditions, Life is upside down, so the population of the Great Qing Kingdom has always been unable to rise, and it is necessary to plunder a large number of people from the Ming Dynasty to develop and grow. Until the Dingdu Shenyang, including the establishment of the Great Qing Dynasty, the level of agricultural production was not able to be greatly improved, and many times, it was still necessary to plunder money and grain from the Guannei.

30,000 people, in Huang Taiji's opinion, is a lot of troops, and he must not be at ease if he can lead so many soldiers, unless he is a general above the county king, or someone else will lead him.

The problem is that there are no more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City, and most of them are Han soldiers.

The innate superiority of the Eight Banners made it difficult for them to live peacefully with the Han army, and it was basically impossible to do this, and the Eight Banners were always high above and regarded the Han army as slaves. In fact, before Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the status of the Han people was extremely low, and they often suffered large-scale massacres, and they were basically slaves of the Manchus, with no freedom in life, and were disposed of casually. In order to alleviate the contradictions between the Manchus and the Hans, Huang Taiji promulgated a series of policies, the most important thing is to let the Han people have the status of a private household, and get rid of the fate of becoming slaves of the Manchus, which greatly improved the status of the Han people, but Huang Taiji did all this. In the eyes of the Manchu magnates, it did not have much effect, especially in the Eight Banners Army, the discrimination against the Han people was in the bones.

Huang Taiji knew all this, but he had to rely on the Eight Banners Army, so he didn't pursue it too much.

There are only 10,000 sergeants stationed in Dalinghe City, and most of them are Han soldiers. At this time, it is not very likely to continue to send the Eight Banners Army to garrison, these are the elite of the Great Qing Kingdom, and it is not appropriate to take them to defend the city, not to mention that the biggest advantage of the Eight Banners Army is cavalry and field warfare, and it is not very good at defending the city.

If you continue to send 20,000 more sergeants. The greatest possibility is to send Han soldiers, relying on more than 1,000 Eight Banner soldiers to govern nearly 30,000 Han soldiers. If you don't pay attention to it, there will be infighting, and the end will be impossible to imagine.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji hesitated.

After Fan Wencheng made this suggestion, Dai Shan spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Fan's suggestion is quite reasonable. Regardless of whether Su Tiancheng attacked Dalinghe City or not, and whether he was bluffing or not, it was necessary to strengthen the garrison of Dalinghe City, and there were 30,000 soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City. Even if Su Tiancheng comes to attack, he can deal with it, and if there is a danger, it will be too late to rescue. ”

After Daishan finished speaking, Azig and Dolgon immediately agreed.

Huang Taiji nodded, this is a foolproof strategy, but the consumption is a little bigger, these will slowly find a way in the future, a large number of Han people who have been plundered, hard work, and the grain harvest of the Qing Dynasty is always getting better and better, although in the past two years, I have not been able to enter the customs and loot, and the wealth plundered before is still enough.

Then there is the question of who is in charge.

This issue does not need to be discussed.

Dai Shan is the owner of the Red Flag, and at the same time controls the red flag, Dai Shan personally has no possibility of going out to fight, but Dai Shan's son Yue Tuo, completely competent, Yue Tuo is brave and good at fighting, when the Qing Dynasty was established, he was named the prince, but unfortunately this kid is not small, he is not small, he is not small, he is separated from Jierharang, Haoge, and also shelters Mang Gurtai and Shuotuo, meddling in the internal affairs of the royal family, and was demoted to Baylor, and later reduced to Beizi, and now he goes to guard Dalinghe City, just to make meritorious contributions.

Dai Shan will not speak, Azig and Dolgon both recommended Yue Tuo, the two of them still know Yue Tuo's bravery, the enemy is current, other things, don't worry about it for the time being.

Huang Taiji prefers Yue Tuo, no matter how many problems Yue Tuo has, the war is unambiguous.

But Huang Taiji thinks more comprehensively, Yue Tuo has an impatient personality, if he is alone in charge of guarding Dalinghe City, I am afraid that there will be problems, more than 1,000 children of the Eight Banners, want to control nearly 30,000 Han troops, and there will be no large-scale conflicts, Yue Tuo can't do this, there must be an assistant, this assistant controls the Han soldiers, and the two armies can coordinate well.

Nearly 30,000 Han soldiers are not controllable by ordinary people, at present, there are only three people, these three people are Gongshun Wang Kong Youde, Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi, and Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming.

Judging from the backgrounds of the three of them, the best candidate is Shang Kexi.

Kong Youde was born as a miner, once worked as a pirate, and later took refuge in Mao Wenlong, his personality was a little repetitive, Shang Kexi joined the army with his brother Shang Kejin, Shang Kejin became a famous general in Liaodong, and had a certain influence on Shang Kexi, and later Shang Kexi was also under Mao Wenlong, because he was murdered, he defected to Houjin in a fit of anger, Geng Zhongming was also a military general, once under Mao Wenlong, and Kong Youde had a very good relationship, the two rebelled almost at the same time in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and were later surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army, and defected to Houjin in desperation.

From the comparison of the experiences of the three people, Shang Kexi is the most suitable, but at this time, Shang Kexi led the Han soldiers and stationed them in Haizhou, the task is also very arduous, and it is obviously not appropriate to transfer them back.

Compared with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, Huang Taiji felt that Kong Youde was more suitable.

Although Kong Youde's personality is repeated, but when he rebelled, he fought fiercely with the Ming army, and after capturing Dengzhou, he slaughtered the city wantonly, and the crimes committed were too numerous to mention, and he could not return to the Ming Dynasty, and Dengzhou at that time was a camp for the Ming army to manufacture new artillery and train artillery, and there were more than 100 grapefruit foreign technicians and craftsmen, which were obtained by Kong Youde, and also became the reliance of Houjin, which made the Ming court grit its teeth, and Chongzhen hated Kong Youde even more.

After Kong Youde surrendered to Jin, he was desperate, which was also because there was no other way out.

In front of Yue Tuo, Kong Youde did not dare to make a mistake, otherwise there would be no way out, if he rebelled, he would be chased and killed by Houjin and Daming, and he would die without a place to be buried.

"I thought it was okay for Yue Tuo to guard Dalinghe City."

Dai Shan heard Huang Taiji say this, relieved, no matter what, Yue Tuo is his eldest son, when this kid grows up, his ambition increases, his desire for power swells, and he does some unreasonable things, fortunately, his identity is prominent, and if he is someone else, he would have been killed a long time ago, Huang Taiji agreed with Yue Tuo to guard Dalinghe City, this is to give Yue Tuo a chance, and the rest depends on Yue Tuo's creation.

"As for the sergeants of the garrison, I think that it is still mainly Han soldiers, and there are more than 1,000 children of the Eight Banners who are currently stationed in Dalinghe City, all of whom are the children of the Red Banner, these people will not move for the time being, continue to guard Dalinghe City, and the rest of the Han soldiers will continue to hold on, I am mobilizing 20,000 Han soldiers and stationed in Dalinghe City, so the defenders of Dalinghe have reached 30,000 people."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng.

"The number of soldiers stationed in Dalinghe City has reached 30,000, and Yue Tuo alone is difficult to deal with, and he still needs a garrison, I will send Gongshun Wang Kong Youde to go, and Kong Youde will assist Yue Tuo and guard Dalinghe City."

Azig and Dolgon tilted their heads, and Fan Wencheng lowered his head.

It is said that Yue Tuo is just the identity of Beizi, if there is no denigration, or the identity of the prince, there is no problem in being the commander, but the situation is different now, Kong Youde is a respectful king, and his status is higher than Yue Tuo, but he still has to obey Yue Tuo's leadership, from this point of view, Huang Taiji really trusts the Manchu people, and it is also the Manchu people who hold the military and political power.

Huang Taiji casually looked at Fan Wencheng, which was actually a very natural performance.

Fan Wencheng, who bowed his head, of course, understood that it was impossible for the Han people to compare with the Manchus, in the Great Qing Dynasty, the Manchus were the highest level of existence, no matter how hard the Han people worked, in front of the Manchus, they were all slaves, and the people were the real masters.

Fan Wencheng has long been accustomed to these sad experiences, or rather, numb.

The taste of being a traitor is not so comfortable, and in terms of personality, it is already inferior.

"Second brother, this time guarding Dalinghe City, it is mainly responsible for the Red Flag and the Red Flag, you still have to worry more."

"Your Majesty, the minister remembers, but it's a pity that the minister can't personally guard Dalinghe City, and the minister must strictly teach Yue Tuo a lesson, don't live up to the emperor's love, and guard Dalinghe City."

"Very good, I see, the matter of dispatching the Han army, the fourteenth brother and Wen Cheng are jointly responsible, it must be completed within a month, I will draw up the decree immediately, the faster the better, when the army enters Dalinghe City, although there is a lot of fanfare, don't have any worries, I just want to let that Chongzhen of Daming see, I have taken Dalinghe City, and I will continue to make a fuss in Dalinghe City."

When he left the main hall, Fan Wencheng's heart was a little apprehensive and heavy.

This is not his inner idea, in fact, his real idea is to maintain the current pattern, if there is really a danger, temporarily abandon Dalinghe City, preserve strength, and when leaving Dalinghe City, destroy the entire city, so that there is no danger in the Dalinghe area to defend, if the Ming army is ready to continue to repair the city, send troops to attack, this is the best strategy.

But this suggestion, he didn't dare to say it, Huang Taiji has not been in a good mood recently, mainly because Su Tiancheng has made trouble, the Eight Banners Army has not entered the customs for more than two years, and they all have great opinions, Huang Taiji has already compromised for the stability of the overall situation, if he continues to show weakness, I am afraid that the soldiers below will break out.
