When the attack began, Su Tiancheng did not consider reporting to the imperial court, and he would not have done it before, but this time, after making the decision to attack Lushun, he has been silently prepared, and he is not even very concerned about the affairs of Liaodong, he knows very well that if he submits such a suggestion, the emperor will definitely have unusual ideas, at least he will feel that he is dissatisfied with the imperial court, and he is dissatisfied with the failure to lead the Liaodong army to fight this time, and the most unfavorable thing is that the imperial court is likely to deny the attack from Dengzhou, It was proposed to transfer the Jiangning battalion to Liaodong and launch an attack.

Launching an attack from Liaodong is not Su Tiancheng's first, this is also with the improvement of understanding, step by step to realize, Shenyang is only four hundred miles away from Dalinghe City, as the capital, Huang Taiji must be desperately protected, just like the Ming Dynasty protects the capital, this is a symbol of the dynasty, can not have any mistakes, so that the elite troops of Houjin, most of them are concentrated around Shenyang, and Houjin's territory is not large, the speed of mobilizing troops is very fast, once Shenyang is threatened, Armies everywhere will quickly assemble towards Shenyang.

Choose to launch an attack from Dalinghe City, the effect is definitely good, if you cross the Liao River, directly threaten Shenyang, it is a heavy blow to Houjin, but this is just wishful thinking, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners are very powerful, when necessary, the Meng Eight Banners will also send troops to protect Shenyang, which will make the war extremely cruel, and the Ming Dynasty must pay a major sacrifice and a huge price to achieve a comprehensive victory.

In this regard, Su Tiancheng was reluctant to launch an attack from one direction in Liaodong.

After garrisoning Dengzhou, Su Tiancheng finally discovered that because the capital of Houjin was moved to Shenyang, the defense around Lushun was very empty, especially after occupying Phi Island and exterminating Mao Wenlong's army. Thinking that the rear was worry-free, he boldly launched many attacks as he wanted, and this area became Houjin's weakness.

Being able to attack from two directions will definitely have a much better effect on the battle, so when Zhu Youzhen and Chen Xinjia are preparing to launch an attack in Liaodong. Su Tiancheng made it clear that he would launch an attack from Lushun and directly threaten Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou, once the Jiangning battalion occupied Haizhou, the threat to Houjin and Huang Taiji was huge, and the blow was devastating. At that time, Huang Taiji may need to consider the issue of moving the capital. Later, Jin's strength was not enough to be able to fight against the Jiangning battalion and the border army from the two directions of Liaodong and Haizhou.

Because of the influence of a certain cultural thought, the Ming Dynasty did not like expansion, let alone launch a large-scale war of aggression. The imperial court takes humility and subtlety as a virtue, this kind of thinking has been continued by the scholars, resulting in the weakness of the army, and the people's pursuit of stability in their bones is not a special circumstance, the Ming Dynasty will not take the initiative to launch a war, through so many years. Su Tiancheng did his best to change this concept.

With ample strength. If you don't seek hegemony, people won't be afraid of you, thinking that you are not much great, and in this world, you are originally the law of historical development. The so-called peaceful coexistence is because your strength is not enough, so you put forward such an idea, once your strength is strong, you must take responsibility. Although people complain, they still have to listen to you obediently.

Before the crossing, Su Tiancheng was a civil servant, and his understanding in his bones was still inclined to maintain unified leadership, so Su Tiancheng's actions were all based on the overall situation of maintaining the imperial court, and he never thought about establishing his own strength, let alone the idea of rebellion, but because of this kind of thinking, Su Tiancheng was constrained everywhere, despite this, Su Tiancheng still tried to influence the court and the emperor through his own actions, and in a short period of time, Su Tiancheng did not plan to change his understanding.

Let's just say that this attack on Lushun, if it is reported to the imperial court, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of controversy, and even if there is a problem in the attack in Liaodong, it will be blamed on him, but if you don't take action, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be easily lost, it's a pity, after thinking about it again, Su Tiancheng still decided to act.

The effect of the action is very good, the Jiangning battalion quickly occupied Yongning, all the territory south of Xuancheng, to know the road, some places, in the apocalypse years, are not occupied by the Ming Dynasty, belong to the Ming Dynasty and Houjin fight for the place, this is thanks to the Huang Taiji mobilized a large number of troops, put into the Liaodong expedition, it is impossible to transfer other armies, strengthen the defense of this area, Su Tiancheng's move, it can be said that it is a sharp knife, inserted into the navel of Huang Taiji.

After occupying Yongning, Su Tiancheng felt that he had to report to the imperial court, and he couldn't delay it, no matter what the battle situation in Liaodong was, Huang Taiji would soon know about the matter, and the war situation in Liaodong would probably change significantly because of the loss of Yongning, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou and other places.

The most important result of the Jiangning battalion is to completely exterminate the Houjin Naval Division, 15,000 Naval Division Tartars, almost none of them escaped, dispatched 53,000 troops, and only exterminated 15,000 Tartars, this is not Su Tiancheng's goal, but unfortunately in the rest of the place, there are almost no Houjin Tartars, and the Jiangning Battalion has occupied the city very smoothly.

Su Tiancheng wrote in detail.

After careful thinking, this twist and turn is very crucial, if you want Zhu Youzhen to be completely happy, it is impossible, so you still have to find a reason to make Zhu Youzhen happy, the best way is to count this attack as Zhu Youzhen's decision, at least the measures he understood from Zhu Youzhen's words.

In the twist, Su Tiancheng explained his own ideas in detail, attributing the origin of this attack to the time when he went to the capital to report on the defense of Liaodong, through the conversation with the emperor, he got the emperor's approval, and from the words of conversation, he realized that the Jiangning battalion must attack Lushun and other places to recover the lost territory, the reason why he did not immediately report to the court was because the war in Liaodong was tense, so he was embarrassed to disturb the emperor, so as not to worry about the emperor, so the war was very smooth, so he reported to the court.

This reason is a bit far-fetched, but Su Tiancheng can't find a good reason.

It was sent to the capital as quickly as possible.

But no matter how fast it is, there is always a sea route that needs to be taken, and the land route cannot be taken.

Su Tiancheng's recital was sent directly to the capital in the form of a dense fold and directly to Zhu Youzhen's hands.

At this time, Su Tiancheng did not know what to do, and the emperor's decree also arrived in Dengzhou, asking for the mobilization of Jiangning battalions to Liaodong to maintain the situation in Liaodong.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Zhu Youzhen was depressed and watched Su Tiancheng's performance.

But a few minutes later, Zhu Youzhen jumped up.

"Hurry, quickly announce the audience of the cabinet ministers, and Lu Shanji from the Ministry of War, hurry up."

The eunuch had never seen Zhu Youzhen so excited, and he hurriedly trotted outside.

Soon, the eunuch came back, and it turned out that Yang Sichang took the cabinet ministers, including Lu Shanji and others, towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Yang Sichang spoke.

"The emperor was overjoyed, the Houjin Tartars were all evacuated and returned to Montenegro, this is the credit of the emperor sending the Beijing camp, and the Houjin Tartars were unable to capture Shanhaiguan, so they retreated in ...... of difficulty."

Before Yang Sichang finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen spoke.

"Wait, the Houjin Tartars are still interesting, if they don't withdraw from Liaodong, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep Shenyang."

Yang Sichang and the others were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on, Zhu Youzhen handed Su Tiancheng's secret fold to Wang Chengen beside him, and Wang Chengen took the secret fold and handed it to Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang took the secret fold, a little frightened, this is an excerpt that only the emperor can see, but the emperor asked Wang Chengen to hand it over, he still has to read it carefully.

After a few minutes, Yang Sichang's body began to tremble, and he knelt down with a dense fold.

"The emperor is wise, the minister can't comprehend, the minister is here to congratulate the emperor."

Zhu Youzhen stood up, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled.

The rest of the cabinet ministers, Lu Shanji and others didn't know what the situation was, which was very strange, but Yang Sichang knelt down, and they also knelt down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, get up, since the situation is like this, you have a good discussion, during this time, I am tired, I want to rest, by the way, you can mobilize 30,000 people in Beijing to return to the capital, and the soldiers of Nanjing in Beijing can also go back, there is no need for martial law in the capital, let's withdraw, during this time, the people are also panicking."

They didn't expect that the emperor actually had such an arrangement with Su Tiancheng, it turned out that Liaodong and Lushun launched an attack at the same time, and the main force of the Houjin Tartars was in Liaodong, resulting in 15,000 sailors being annihilated, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion, occupied a large number of places, and was preparing to attack Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou.

The map has long been laid out.

Yang Sichang looked at the map and spoke.

"Dengzhou's attack has completely changed the situation, the Houjin Tartars are in a dilemma, they don't dare to stay in Liaodong, they have to go back, if they continue to attack in Liaodong, Lord Su can go straight to Huanglong and take Shenyang, this move is really wonderful, you see, the Jiangning battalion occupies Lushun, Jinzhou, Wanghai, Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Tieshan, Xuanzhou and other places, I can launch an attack on the Houjin Tartars from two directions."

Everyone felt that some of them couldn't understand it, the previous Liaodong twists and turns came, and the Houjin Tartars all withdrew, no matter how they analyzed, they didn't figure out the reason, they didn't know what the Golden Tartars were withdrawing after the Dao, such a good opportunity, it is said that the Emperor Taiji would not give up, Yang Sichang didn't know what to say about the Dao, but he could only say that it was because of the increase in troops at Shanhaiguan, so that the Houjin Tartars knew the difficulty and retreated, who knew the real reason for the Dao, was because of the loss of Yongning, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou and other places, and the rear of the Houjin encountered a serious threat, Huang Taiji was forced to withdraw his troops immediately and deploy the defenses of Yaozhou, Gaizhou and Haizhou.
