Chapter 675: A Plan Within a Count

(Thank you to the hungry mountain lion, he20hattie, sdbridge, Bread84, Fan Xuanzi for voting for the valuable monthly vote, thank you for saying that you voted for the valuable evaluation vote, thank you.) )

While the butler was panting and pale, Dolgon was enjoying the service of pinching, massaging once a day, and his whole body seemed comfortable.

"Master, the emperor, the emperor is here."

Dolgon pushed away the woman who was carefully massaging her, and stood up suddenly, he had no idea that the emperor would come to his mansion after dark.

When Huang Taiji came in with a smile, Dolgon, who was wearing a short shirt, hurriedly prepared to kneel.

"The fourteenth brother doesn't have to be like this, I just came to see it, I didn't expect the life of the fourteenth brother to be so colorful, I have also experienced the effect of this massage, but there are too many things."

Dolgon glared at the butler with some stumbling eyes.

The housekeeper shrunk his neck, he had no choice, the emperor paid a private visit, walked to the door of the mansion, and showed his identity, who dared to stop him, when the emperor entered the mansion, he ran over to report it, but unfortunately the emperor followed.

"Your Majesty, my brother will take you to the study."

Walking out of the house, Dolgon found that Fan Wencheng was standing outside, and of course there were eunuchs in the palace, needless to say, the palace guards must be outside the mansion.

"Master Fan is here too, rare guest."

Fan Wencheng hurriedly saluted, Dolgon was a real prince.

Dolgon didn't pay much attention to Fan Wencheng, in the scene in the main hall today, seeing that Fan Wencheng was using a strategy, he had the same idea as everyone else, and he and Azig and others could do such a thing as conquering the Mongolian steppe. There is no need to let Dai Shan lead the troops to the battle, but if you think about it carefully, this must be the emperor's arrangement, otherwise Fan Wencheng would not have the guts, I think so, but the opinion must exist.

Inside the study. Huang Taiji and Dolgon sat with Fan Wencheng standing on the side.

Huang Taiji didn't say much, this is a display of different statuses.

"Fourteenth brother, you must be a little confused about my arrangements today."

"Your Majesty, the younger brother thinks that the second brother will be invincible if he leads the army to conquer."

"I am brother to you, so don't say that. The second brother is old, and it is indeed inappropriate to conquer Mongolia, but I need to do this, there are two meanings in this, one is to remind some people who are about to move, don't think crookedly, and the other is also to use this pretext. I can really do something. I know the situation in the Mongolian steppes very well. This conquest of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, there is not much need, not to mention the waste of money and food, the effect is not very large, the Ming Dynasty in the Anning Fort and Jingbian mutual market, has been supported by the Mongolian tribes. It is certainly not a wise move for me to go to the mutual market at this time, so I came to you at night. ”

Dorgon stood up in shock.

"What is the emperor's deployment, the courtiers will never give up."

"Or sit down and talk. I brought Wen Cheng here today, this related arrangement and deployment, or Wen Cheng will tell you first, Wen Cheng is a Han Chinese, and I can also help analyze the characteristics of Han people doing things. ”

At this time, Dolgon's face was a little better, it turned out that all this was clear to the emperor, and today's arrangement in the main hall was just a trick, and Fan Wencheng helped the emperor to complete this trick.

"Lord Fan, please sit down and talk, don't be too careful."

Dolgon got up and beckoned Fan Wencheng to sit down.

Fan Wencheng quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang, the minions have been loyal for many years, and they have been compared many times, and the minions feel that there are too many shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty, although there are Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, it is just a flash in the pan, as long as I can recuperate, I will be able to completely overthrow the Ming Dynasty and win the Central Plains."

Huang Taiji smiled and spoke.

"Wen Cheng, don't say more about these words, just talk about your analysis."

"Obey the order, the minister thinks, Su Tiancheng served as the Jiliao Governor, commanding the border affairs, on the surface, it is not good for my Qing Dynasty, the loss of Dalinghe City is the best proof, but Su Tiancheng is facing a lot of problems, the first problem is the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the merit is high and the lord is shocked, which is deep-rooted in the Han cultural tradition, the greater Su Tiancheng's credit, the more dangerous the situation will be, the second problem is to coordinate the relationship with the imperial court, Su Tiancheng must rely on the imperial court, it is impossible to fight alone, Emperor Chongzhen wants to control Su Tiancheng, the best way is to cultivate Su Tiancheng's opponent in the imperial court, these people can spare no effort to attack Su Tiancheng, so that Su Tiancheng feels afraid all the time, the third problem, the civil and military officials of the Ming court, each has become a faction, intriguing with each other, they don't care about the affairs of the court, do any thing, think of their own interests, but they have become the absolute strength of the court, Su Tiancheng is impossible to challenge, from these three aspects, the slave thought that it was impossible for Su Tiancheng to hold on for too long. ”

Huang Taiji still had a smile on his face, and Dolgon couldn't help it a little and wanted to speak, but when he saw the emperor's expression, he couldn't help but open his mouth and let Fan Wencheng continue. In fact, Dolgon understood what Fan Wencheng meant, to use time to consume Su Tiancheng, the key is that the many generals of the Great Qing Kingdom may not be able to endure the passage of time.

"But there are problems, the slave has to admit that Su Tiancheng is indeed resourceful, sometimes, even grasped the sore spot of my Great Qing Kingdom, when Su Tiancheng was in Shaanxi, he opened a mutual market, enveloping the Mongolian Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, through these two tribes, affecting other tribes, many Mongolian tribes, joined the mutual market with the Ming Dynasty, and slowly relied on the Ming Dynasty, which is obviously a division and disintegration of the Mongolian tribes, and stabilized the border pass, through this hand, the soldiers of my Great Qing Kingdom, Thinking that suddenly entering the customs from Datong, Ningxia and other places, the difficulty has increased a lot, and what the slave didn't expect was that Su Tiancheng began to think about fighting against my Great Qing Kingdom in Shaanxi. ”

"As for the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe stuck in the Hetao area and did not carry out the invasion, the slave analysis may be due to two reasons, one is that the land in the Hetao area is fertile enough to maintain the survival of the tribes, and the two tribes are afraid that they have received enough food and do not need to loot, and the other is that the two tribes may have received hints from the Ming court, and they actually helped the Ming court stabilize the border passes in the Hetao area and reduce the pressure on Datong and Ningxia."

"Su Tiancheng took Dalinghe City, stabilized Datong and Ningxia, the actual idea is to want to trap my Great Qing Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty is vast and rich, and some disasters can be bearable, but my Great Qing Kingdom is different, if there is a famine, the impact is very great, these problems have occurred before, and they can be made up by entering the customs, and now these problems may lead to the instability of the situation."

When Fan Wencheng said this, Dolgon quieted down, he had already understood the meaning of this, and it seemed that Fan Wencheng was about to get to the key point.

"The slave feels that always maintaining this situation and waiting for the passage of time is not the best way, and it still needs to be attacked, but the Guanningjin defense line has been strengthened, and there are a large number of Ming troops stationed in Datong and Ningxia, and it is difficult to say whether it will succeed or not, and in today's situation, there is no more than sixty percent certainty, so it is better not to send troops."

"The minions analyzed the situation at the border and found that there were still weak links in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Dengzhou and Laizhou. These two places, once suffered from war, the possibility of complete recovery is not large, and these two places are also under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng, if my Great Qing Kingdom can bypass the Ningjin defense line and attack Dengzhou and Laizhou by surprise, the significant achievements will have a great impact on Su Tiancheng personally, and the imperial court will also be angry, although it is unlikely to remove Su Tiancheng, but there are more or less opinions and opinions on Su Tiancheng. ”

At this point, the mystery was finally revealed, and Dorgon vaguely understood.

Huang Taiji spoke.

"Fourteenth brother, I arranged for the second brother to go to Mongolia, just to attract the attention of the Ming army, such news, thinking of complete secrecy, the possibility is not big, the Ming army is stationed in Dalinghe City, only four hundred miles away from Shenyang, it is almost impossible to completely keep the news secret, in this case, I need to think, since the information will leak out, you might as well let Su Tiancheng know, let him arrange, I am the son of the Eight Banners of the Qing Kingdom, unexpectedly attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, so that Su Tiancheng was caught off guard."

Dorgon nodded.

"Your Majesty, my courtiers implore you to lead the army to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou."

"Hehe, don't worry, I came to you, just to discuss this matter, the Manchu Dynasty knows that the second brother is going to lead the army to the expedition, and he is going to the Mongolian steppe, and the relevant preparations are indispensable, at least the grain and grass need to be prepared, at this time, the sergeants who are preparing to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou can also be prepared, the two armies set off at the same time, but the destination is different, and the target task is not the same, as for the second brother, when he sets off, I will make it clear that the second brother should grasp it."

"However, attacking Dengzhou and Laizhou, the situation is completely different, this time entering the customs, from the Guanningjin defense line, bypassing Dalinghe City, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan, this is a very risky plan, it requires detailed planning, I came to discuss with the fourteenth brother at night, just thinking that the fourteenth brother bears this burden, the fourteenth brother must plan in detail, so that it is foolproof."

Dorgon stood up.

"Your Majesty, my brother will start to prepare now, and I will not disgrace my mission."

"Very good, I believe in you, you must be cautious, if the situation is not right, withdraw the troops quickly, don't fall in love with the war, attack the Eight Banners Army in Dengzhou Laizhou, not too many, it is also 20,000 people, so that the action is faster, and the supply is also easy to raise, you don't have to capture Dengzhou City and Laizhou City, just cause a major impact."
