Chapter 718: Accurate Analysis (1)
Sun Chengzong's death also aroused the great attention of Huang Taiji, several times in the main hall, seeing Fan Wencheng's red eyes, he knew that Fan Wencheng was racking his brains to see if this matter would have any impact on the Qing Kingdom.
Huang Taiji is familiar with this Sun Chengzong, although he has never met, in his heart, Sun Chengzong's impression is not much worse than Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong suggested building Dalinghe City and stabilizing the Guanningjin defense line, these are the key points of the Great Qing Kingdom, it is precisely because of Sun Chengzong's suggestions and decisions that the Great Qing Kingdom has caused great difficulties.
Sun Chengzong served as the first assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and fully supported Su Tiancheng, these things are reflected in the intelligence, and now that Sun Chengzong has passed away, Yang Sichang has served as the first assistant of the cabinet, is there any change.
While Su Tiancheng stabilized the defense of Dalinghe City, he began to rebuild Dengzhou and Laizhou, Huang Taiji originally had a bit of a joke taste, Dolgon destroyed Dengzhou and Laizhou, Su Tiancheng had no choice but to rebuild, which required a lot of silver, and the recovery process was long, and it would also consume a lot of Su Tiancheng's energy, but after learning that Su Tiancheng was preparing to form a water division, Huang Taiji couldn't laugh, the Jiangning camp created by Su Tiancheng single-handedly became the biggest dream of the Qing Dynasty, and now he is going to form a water division again, Isn't this aimed at the sailors of the Great Qing Kingdom?
The situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou, Huang Taiji gradually became aware.
He never imagined that Su Tiancheng had such a big deal and could relocate hundreds of thousands of people to Dengzhou and Laizhou, and these people who went to Dengzhou and Laizhou had good identities, especially the families of the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion settled in Dengzhou and Laizhou, which made Huang Taiji smell the danger signal.
The development of Dengzhou and Laizhou was beyond the expectations of Huang Taiji. The speed of development is very fast, there are more and more people, and the city is slowly being established, why did Su Tiancheng achieve such a speed, and why was he able to build Dengzhou and Laizhou in the shortest possible time. Intelligence also shows that the Ming court also placed Qingzhou under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng.
Dengzhou is very close to Lushun, what if Su Tiancheng builds a naval division and attacks it.
After looking at the map for a long time, Huang Taiji began to feel a headache for the defense of the Great Qing Kingdom, he had never thought about these things before, the Eight Banners Army could enter the customs and loot at will, but the Ming Army did not dare to step into the area controlled by the Eight Banners Army for half a step. Even if it is guarding Liaodong, it is also shrinking in the city.
The situation is different now, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion, took Dalinghe City, attacked Montenegro, and won all of them, Huang Taiji knew in his heart that when facing the Jiangning battalion. The Eight Banners Army did not have any advantages, and it was under the training of the Jiangning battalion. The combat effectiveness of the Ming border army obviously began to increase, and after Su Tiancheng stabilized Liaodong, he dismissed the border army of more than 100,000 and began to take the route of elite soldiers, which could reduce expenses and ensure the salary of the sergeants to the greatest extent. can improve combat effectiveness, all of this has become a reality at present, and the Guanningjin defense line opposite the Eighth Banner Army has become an iron wall.
Once Su Tiancheng recovers, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being stationed in Liaodong. I'm afraid it's going to be a direct threat to the Qing Kingdom.
At this time, Huang Taiji had to consider the defense of the Great Qing Kingdom.
The change of the times is so strange, a few years ago, Huang Taiji didn't need to think about defense at all, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the Great Qing Kingdom had no worries, and it was only a few years before the situation began to reverse. It should be said that after the battle of the Great Linghe in Chongzhen's fourth year, Huang Taiji did not consider the problem of defense, and what the Great Qing Kingdom needed to consider was the problem of attack, and how to take the Guanningjin defense line became the top priority.
Just when Dolgon attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, Huang Taiji still didn't think of the problem of defense, at least he didn't pay special attention to the problem of defense, Liaodong's side, the Eight Banners Army will not attack for the time being, but Su Tiancheng will not take the initiative to attack, the two sides are in a temporarily stable state, as for the situation of the Mongolian tribes, the Xibe tribe and the Daouri tribe are concentrated in the Hetao area, where there is still a certain distance from the center of Mongolia, and the Ming border army thinks about the possibility of launching an attack from Mongolia, and there is no more.
But Su Tiancheng began to prepare for the construction of the water division, which made Huang Taiji realize that there was a big problem, and the problem was in Lushun.
Lushun is too close to Dengzhou, but there is still a certain distance from Shenyang, if Su Tiancheng suddenly decides to attack Lushun, there may be a situation where the rescue is not enough, and the heavy troops of the Great Qing State are also deployed around Shenyang, and the consistent strategy of the Great Qing State is still to take the Guanningjin defense line, capture Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and enter the Guannei from Shanhaiguan in a grand manner.
The emergence of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying forced the Qing Dynasty to change this strategy.
At the beginning, Dolgon took a warship to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou, Huang Taiji also had nothing to worry about, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, far away in Fujian, it was too late to rescue, besides, the sailors of the Qing Dynasty, mainly not fighting at sea, the ultimate goal is to capture the city of the Ming Dynasty, unify the Central Plains, this is the ultimate goal, starting from Lushun, there are a lot of ports to choose from, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Jinan and Tianjin, are all optional, according to the mind of the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is very good to be able to maintain stability.
Just after the news that Su Tiancheng was preparing to form a water division, Fan Wencheng quickly put forward a suggestion after careful thinking, suggesting that Huang Taiji write a letter to Chongzhen, mainly talking about shaking hands and making peace, his words were low-key, and his posture was lower, although he promised that the two sides would be reconciled, and asked the Ming Dynasty to carry out mutual markets in Dalinghe City, and the two sides could conduct business transactions on an equal footing.
Fan Wencheng's suggestion is indeed well thought out, once the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty shake hands and make peace, those civil and military officials in the Ming court will definitely put forward a proposal to reduce military spending and barely maintain the military salary in Liaodong.
However, Fan Wencheng did not have absolute confidence, because at that time, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was Sun Chengzong, who was familiar with the situation in Liaodong and had fought with the Qing Dynasty.
Now the situation is different, Sun Chengzong has died, it can be said that Sun Chengzong is the minister in the Ming court, who knows the most about the situation in Liaodong, and it is said that the Ming court will change.
Huang Taiji has his own analysis, and he also knows that Fan Wencheng's suggestions in this aspect of the analysis should be more accurate, Fan Wencheng is Han after all, and he has a better understanding of the temperament of the Han people.
Sun Chengzong's death is definitely an opportunity for the Qing Kingdom, as for what can be done and what should be done, Huang Taiji has not thought of it for the time being, he estimates that Fan Wencheng must also be thinking about this issue.
Since Fan Wencheng proposed that Ye Bushu be the deputy commander of the Qing Dynasty's naval division, Huang Taiji has paid more attention to Fan Wencheng, and he also intends to let this kind of weight be shown in public, for example, when there is a minister to report on the matter, he will ask Fan Wencheng's opinion first, if Fan Wencheng has no proposal, he can directly implement it.
Huang Taiji did this, of course, he had his own purpose, it can be said that Fan Wencheng's suggestion offended Daishan and Dolgon, and even included Azig, what did Zilharang think, Huang Taiji is not very clear, Duoduo, who came back from North Korea, will definitely not be happy after knowing this matter, it can be said that Fan Wencheng has offended a lot of imperial relatives for himself and for the stability of imperial power.
In such a situation, Huang Taiji must show his attitude and vigorously support Fan Wencheng, which is for everyone to see.
As for the transfer of Daishan and Dolgon out of Shenyang, it is considered from two aspects, for Daishan, Huang Taiji will not have special trust, always be on guard, his second brother, some hidden meaning, although there is not much fighting spirit over the years, but the influence is still very great, I don't know when I get up, it may be bad, as for sending Dolgon to the area of Montenegro and Songshan, it is indeed to stabilize the defense line of the border pass, as long as Dolgon holds Montenegro and Songshan, Shenyang will be as safe as a rock, Don't worry in the slightest.
In Huang Taiji's heart, he will not doubt that Fan Wencheng and others will rebel, he knows very well that Fan Wencheng is a Han Chinese, and he does not have much power in the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng's power is given by himself, and he can take it back anytime and anywhere, but Dai Shan, Dolgon, Duoduo, Zilharang and others are different, these people are members of the royal family, and they have an army in their hands, not to mention the rebellion, even if it is a direct succession to the throne, it is possible.
Therefore, Huang Taiji's main defense is not Fan Wencheng, on the contrary, he can also use a large number of Han people, and the imperial examination held in the Great Qing Kingdom is for this purpose.
On the one hand, Fan Wencheng, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others are more loyal and work hard for the strength and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty all the time, on the other hand, Dai Shan, Dolgon and others also understand that they will rely on the Han people to manage the government and govern the Qing Dynasty in accordance with Confucian thought, and the status of the Han people must be stable, which has become a policy of the Qing Dynasty.
Sun Chengzong died, this matter, in the court of the Great Qing Kingdom, did not cause the slightest wave, Huang Taiji even mentioned it once, those Manchu ministers, there was no performance at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with the Great Qing Dynasty, only a part of the Han Chen, bowed their heads, did not say anything, but it could be seen that they were thinking about something.
Huang Taiji was a little anxious, he needed to know what the Great Qing Kingdom should do in the face of such a big thing, and the opportunity was precious, and it couldn't be easily lost. (To be continued......)
